In April 2007, Grand Central's publisher Jamie Raab and editor Karen Kosztolnyik were involved in a frantic bidding war for a proposed book on the life of cat Dewey, billed as the feline answer to the best-selling "Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World's Worst Dog." Literary agent Peter McGuigan, who represented the author and ghost writer, had just notified them that a second publisher seeking to close the deal was "shadowing" Grand Central's every move and a preemptive offer of well over a million dollars would be required to secure the acquisition--an exceedingly high amount for a book by a first-time author. Should Grand Central continue to bid for Dewey, wait for the scheduled auction with several interested publishers, or pull out of the race? Allows for an in-depth examination of new-product acquisition, development, and launch strategies in the context of the book publishing industry. Provides rich insights into how media and entertainment firms aim to replicate success, and how they find, foster, and sell potential blockbuster products. Also illustrates how similar efforts by competitors increase each firm's dependence on a handful of hits. Contains detailed unique economic data that illustrate the high level of concentration in the distribution of sales and profits across products. By enabling an analysis of the book acquisition, development, and marketing process from the perspective of the publisher, author, and agent, serves as a vehicle for contrasting different approaches to the new product development process.

Thread: Dune prequels; really that bad?
October 5th, 2004, 10:59 PM #31Originally Posted by Erfael
Seriously though... the first one was bog roll material. There's no way in heck *I'd* spend money on its sequels... Frank'd be rolling in his grave!

Diminishing Returns
I first read Dune as a teenager and I liked it. A lot! I read the following novels in the cycle a bit later on. For the most part, I liked them. I found Children of Dune and God Emperor of Dune to be a bit more turgid than they should have been...but that was a minor flaw, overall. I chalked it up to those novels being written in a particular time, by an author of a particular age. Heritics of Dune and Chapterhouse: Dune re-kindled my love of the "Duneverse" and then left me hanging. Since then, I've read the Brian Herbert/Kevin J. Anderson continuation of the saga, and I found it acceptable. Passable. I've read the prequel trilogy concerning the Great Houses, and found them to be enjoyable: not great, nothing close to what Frank Herbert himself might have written (He invented the Dune Universe, so naturally he'd be the best writer for it!) but they were OK. Readable. Pleasant time-wasters: rather like the literary version of cheese puffs.
I've since picked up The Winds of Dune. I've tried to read it, but that book has an emetic effect on me. It's nothing but one, dull, uninspired, vaguely cynical cliche after another. It's as if Anderson and Herbert 2.0 simply sat back and decided to turn the literary legacy of Dune into a turn-key money-making operation. It's such a shame too, because Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson probably deserve a lot more respect than they've given themselves with The Winds of Dune.

KJA has his place in the wide realm of SF writers, but I'm not really keen on the practice of taking another author's work and expanding on it with your own ideas. It feeds people's desire to read more about the world they loved the first time around, but for me it isn't and can't be the same setting if it hasn't been imagined by the original author.
Anyone can fantasise about the world created by another author, but only the original imaginer knows what really happened, or where the story would have gone next.
I read Dune as a teenager and ploughed through all the books one after the other. I jumped on House Atreides when it came out and was soon disappointed. It wasn't so much bad writing or a rubbish story... it just didn't feel right. As I remember the plot was pretty lame but that's not the point. It didn't feel like the same universe. It felt a tv cartoon version of a classic.
I was always fascinated by the Butlerian Jihad and was desperate to know more, but I won't read the book. As far as I'm concerned it's a legend, a story that was never meant to be told. Reading someone else's version of it would never live up to the mythical status it has in my mind.

You hit the nail on the head with your comment. I suspect the main reason why I dislike the Dune prequels is simply because they're somebody else's vision of a universe that they didn't create. I can understand the urge to write a continuation or an explanation: and there's room for that in literature. David Brin, Gregroy Benford, and Greg Bear all wrote additions to Isaac Asimov's Foundation universe...and they did good jobs. I think what I ultimately disliked about the more-recently-written Dune prequels is their greatly diminished quality; the novels going into the histories of the Great Houses were readable and enjoyable to a degree. They lacked the intellectual heft of the Frank Herbert originals, and they lacked the graceful prose (though Herbert went from graceful to ponderous on numerous occasions.) I think what I disliked most was the cynical attitude that seems to have gone into the novels. As (in my opinion, at least) the writing became lazy and uncreative, it seemed as if Anderson and Herbert 2.0 simply decided to make money by putting the name "Dune" on anything, because the hard-core fans were too desperate to care if what they were getting actually lived up to the Dune name.

Reading these books is sort of like witnessing a traffic accident; you know it's going to be bad but you can't help looking. I think that might explain at least some of the success of these prequel/sequel series.
Like a lot of others I found them Ok, not nearly up to the standards of the original. The Great Houses prequel's were enjoyable, the Butlerian Jihad series tolerable... I think I'll stop there before it gets worse. It's a completely different style that doesn't quite mesh...

Grizzlies out
McMinnville's first home playoff game in seven years didn't end favorably for the Grizzlies, but be darned if it wasn't entertaining.
Sunset (6-5) defeated McMinnville 49-42 Friday at Wortman Stadium in a battle between two evenly matched teams in the first round of the 6A state playoffs. The Apollos and McMinnville (5-5) combined for 970 yards of offense and 13 touchdowns Friday, but Sunset had just enough answers on defense to hang on.
"A couple players here and there were the difference," said senior running back Spencer Payne, who rushed for 151 yards and scored four touchdowns.
The two biggest plays happened at the ends of each half. McMinnville put together a 12-play drive in the second quarter that ate up 4 minutes, 14 seconds of clock, but it ended in the end zone when quarterback Gage Gubrud's pass was intercepted by Trevor Caldwell.
Sunset took a 21-14 lead into halftime.
"That was big," said Gubrud, who threw for 217 yards and completed 24-of-35 passes.
The Apollos had the ball first to start the second half, and they extended their lead to 28-14 on a 14-yard run by Bruce Jones Jr. with 9:35 left in the third quarter.
McMinnville answered with a touchdown by Payne with 6:54 left in the third quarter, but Sunset tacked on two more scores to take a 42-21 lead into the fourth quarter.
The Grizzlies put together an 11-play, 61-yard scoring drive to start the fourth quarter. The drive ended with a Payne 1-yard touchdown run with 9:40 left in the game that cut Sunset's lead to 42-28.
Then came the stop that the Grizzlies desperately needed. Alex Israel had intercepted Sunset quarterback Willy Pflug in the second quarter, but the Apollos had scored on four straight possession before the Grizzlies were able to force a punt with 8:32 left in the game.
"We had troubles stopping them on defense," Gubrud said. "A couple of mistakes on offense are what got us into that situation in the third quarter."
Mac methodically marched down the field again, this time scoring after a 14-play drive that ate up 4:35 of the clock. Payne scored on a two-yard run with 3:57 left in the fourth quarter, cutting Sunset's lead to 42-35. With three timeouts, Mac coach Don Rutschman decided to be safe. The Grizzlies quick-kicked the kickoff, trying to catch the Apollos off guard, and Sunset recovered the squib kick at their own 43.
The Grizzlies needed another stop to have a chance, but like he had all game, Jones gashed the defense, and he scored on an 11-yard run with 1:30 left in the game, moving Sunset's lead back to 14 points at 49-35.
"They're a good football team," Gubrud said. "You have to give them credit for scoring."
Still, the Grizzlies had just the slightest glimmers of a chance, and they seized it. Gubrud led them down the field in 1:03, completing five straight passes for 43 yards on the drive. He hit senior receiver Alex Israel for a 5-yard score with 27 seconds left, and Jacob Bannister's PAT cut Sunset's lead once again, this time to 49-42.
Mac had to try and onside kick, but Bannister's attempt never bounced up in the air and instead continued into the second line of Sunset players, and the Apollos recovered.
In the final seven minutes of the game, Gubrud went 9-for-9 and passed for 96 yards. He completed passes to eight different receivers during the game. Israel caught eight passes for 86 yards, and senior Kane Kennedy caught seven passes for 66 yards.
"It was great seeing our team not quit," Kennedy said.
Payne, who was playing for the first time since having an appendectomy a month ago, rarely left the field. He played defense and special teams along with his running back duties. He said even after Mac fell behind 21 points, there was never a moment that his teammates felt they couldn't come back.
"I felt we could explode for big plays anytime," Payne said. "We were never out of it."
"They never gave up all year, regardless of the score," Rutschman said. "We tell them, don't let the scoreboard dictate how you play. I thought they laid it out on the turf."
The Grizzlies rushed for 227 yards and totaled 444 yards of offense. Sunset featured a balanced attack, rushing for 260 yards and passing for 266 for a combined 526 yards of offense.
Jones rushed for 239 yards and scored three touchdowns. Pflug was 22-of-29 for 266 yards and four touchdowns. Caldwell was Sunset's leading receiver with 99 yards and a touchdown. Jeff Bieber caught five passes for 80 yards and had two touchdowns.
Payne scored on a 1-yard touchdown run with 6:07 in the first quarter to tie the game 7-7 after Pflug hit Bieber for a touchdown. Pflug then threw a 22-yard touchdown to Caldwell in the first quarter.
Mac tied the score at 14 after the first quarter on a fumble recover for a touchdown by Kennedy. Gubrud rushed up the middle but fumbled the ball forward, and Kennedy picked it up and ran eight yards in for the touchdown.
McMinnville did not score in the second quarter. Sunset scored with 4:35 left in the half on a 23-yard pass from Pflug to Bieber.
Bannister was 6-for-6 on PATs. Sunset kicker Drew Wilson was 7-for-7.
The Apollos play next week in the second round at No. 1-seeded Central Catholic.

A conversation with Allen C. Guelzo
author of GETTYSBURG: The Last Invasion
Q: In the last 150 years, there have been many books written about the Battle of Gettysburg. What sets yours apart?
A: Politics. The American Civil War was, at bottom, a political war, so we shouldn't be surprised, then, to find that politics slopped-over into military decision-making at Gettysburg. In the Union army, anti-Lincoln Democratic generals were as hostile to anti-slavery Republicans as they were to the rebels. In the case of George Gordon Meade, commanding the Union army at Gettysburg, politically-motivated decisions nearly cost him the battle.
Q: As we approach its 150 year anniversary, what do we still have to learn about the Battle of Gettysburg? What myths about the battle do you debunk?
A: So much was at stake at Gettysburg that it's no wonder so many myths were born out of the fighting. These myths serve mostly as a way of trying to reduce the battle's chaos to something like rationality. But myths are still only myths.
The most prominent of these is that Robert E. Lee's cavalry commander, J.E.B. Stuart, foolishly galloped his cavalry on a long detour around the Union army, and his extended absence deprived Lee of intelligence about the movements of the Union army. Actually, intelligence-gathering was not the job of cavalry; in fact, cavalry in both armies performed a comparatively insignificant role in the War as a whole. The ratio of cavalry to infantry in the American Civil War was less than half that of European armies, and it was almost entirely light cavalry, and so could perform only screening and raiding.
Another myth is that Little Round Top was the most critical feature on the Gettysburg landscape, and that the battle was saved for the Union by the heroic performance of one Union regiment there, the 20th Maine, under Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. Actually, the most important piece of military real estate was Cemetery Hill. It was the finest artillery platform in south-central Pennsylvania. The fight for Little Round Top happened by impulse, and while it was done bravely and well, Chamberlain's stand was only one of at least half-a-dozen brilliantly spontaneous decisions by mid-level commanders that day.
Maybe the most egregious legend is the one which says that the battle happened accidentally, that the two armies blundered into each other. Actually, Robert E. Lee had predicted a battle near Gettysburg, and was concentrating his army there when the fighting broke out.
Q: Your book describes the soldiers' experience in more detail than has ever been done before. You even reference a schoolgirl essay competition in 1860! How did you go about your research? What did you discover that most surprised you?
A: It was as much what I was looking for as it was what I was looking in. I spent several years doing little more than soaking myself intensively in printed and manuscript sources on the battle, and walking over one part of the battlefield after another (and believe me, it certainly helps to live next to it). That research took me to manuscript collections from the University of Virginia to Harvard, led to correspondence with historical societies and collections from Ohio to North Carolina to Maine to Georgia, and even to several late-night bar-stops with the reclusive national guru of Civil War battlefield photography. What I was looking for, however, was the texture of experience—the record of what the battle felt like, smelled like, sounded like, looked-like—and the recreation of the mental geography (the expectations, in other words) of those who fought in it.
Certainly the most surprising discovery for me concerned George Gordon Meade. I began this project originally believing that Meade had been vastly and unfairly misunderstood by Lincoln. But as I began reading the Meade family papers at the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, an entirely different George Meade emerged for me—a temperamental, politically partisan, and highly insecure individual who mostly avoided losing the battle rather than actually winning it.
Q: What was the experience of townspeople during the battle? How long did it take to recover?
A: A large portion of the townspeople weren't even there. The most prominent—town office-holders, the local postmaster, bank clerks, the telegraph operator—all beat it eastwards, fearing they would be taken hostage. So did the most vulnerable—Gettysburg's black population, which feared they would be kidnapped and re-enslaved. (They were right: approximately 500 free black residents of south central Pennsylvania were herded together and marched off to the slave markets in Richmond). Those who stayed to protect their property spent most of the battle huddling in their cellars, like college professor Martin Stoever, who smoked twenty-one cigars in a row while the fighting on the battle's first day raged overhead.
The town did not take long to recover, however. The principal merchant in Gettysburg, George Arnold, was advertising new goods for sale within a week of the battle. In fact, Gettysburg would go on to a new apex of agricultural and business prosperity in the 1880s. But there are some senses in which the town has never recovered from the battle to this day, starting with the pockmarks and bullet-holes still visible in buildings around Gettysburg. We call the student delicatessen at the College the "Bullet-Hole."
Q: Who were the main players and how were their personalities influential? How did politics shape the outcome of the battle?
A: Clearly, they were the two commanding generals, George Gordon Meade and Robert E. Lee. Although Lee cultivated the image of a lofty patrician cavalier, he was really a relentlessly aggressive driver who was convinced that the Gettysburg campaign would be the knock-out blow that finished-off North's will to fight. He was not alone in thinking that way: Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, had his vice-president, Alec Stephens, on board a pilot-boat in the James River, ready to journey to Washington and hold talks with Lincoln if the results of the campaign were favorable. Even the ordinary soldiers of Lee's army were jubilant at what they saw as the opportunity to finish the war at Gettysburg.
Meade, by contrast, was notoriously temperamental, but also fussy, precise and cautious. Not that he lacked reason. Meade was appointed to command only three days before the battle, with barely time enough to discover where the parts of the army were located. He also was painfully aware that his predecessors in command—George McClellan, Ambrose Burnside, and Joe Hooker—had been put up one-by-one and knocked down one-by-one, with little backing-up from the Lincoln administration.
In the end, Lee's aggressiveness tipped-over into recklessness. But Meade's self-righteous caution prevented him from gaining the all-or-nothing victory that was within his grasp.
Q: You write, "few people understood that the principal figure in making the Gettysburg battle happen in the way it did was a man who wasn't even there for most of the three days, and that was John Reynolds." Who was John Reynolds and what key role did he play?
A: John Reynolds was a West Pointer and an artillery officer before the war, and had once been commandant of cadets at West Point. He had a reputation as a quiet, somewhat detached, but very competent combat officer, and by 1863, had risen to command the 1st Corps of the Union Army of the Potomac. He and Meade had a friendly but distant relationship, and in fact Reynolds had been offered command of the Army of the Potomac before it went to Meade.
As a Pennsylvanian—and a native of south-central Pennsylvania—Reynolds was anxious that Meade's preoccupation with shielding Baltimore and Washington meant that Meade would allow the Confederates to rampage through Pennsylvania without serious hindrance. While Meade wanted to fight a defensive battle behind Pipe Creek in Maryland, Reynolds was eager to get to grips with the Confederates in Pennsylvania. In large measure, Reynolds bolted ahead of Meade and forced the reluctant army commander into fighting at Gettysburg instead. This amounted to a quiet sort of insubordination on Reynolds' part, but Reynolds was killed just after the battle began, so there was never any question afterward about disputing his judgment.
Q: How did the outcomes of European wars influence the decisions of the Civil War generals? How did the opposing armies in the Battle of Gettysburg differ from all armies before them?
A: We tend to read the Civil War as a uniquely and exceptionally American event. It wasn't, and Gettysburg was fought by soldiers who had lived through and observed the Crimean War (1854-56) and the North Italian War (1859) and were contemporaries of the Austrian, Prussian and French wars of the 1860s. These European conflicts shed an enormous amount of light on the behavior of soldiers and commanders on both sides at Gettysburg. Pickett's Charge, for instance, doesn't make much sense until you line it up beside events like the successful frontal attack of the British at the Battle of the Alma in the Crimean War, or the French attack at Solferino in 1859; after that, it seems perfectly reasonable.
Q: The Union victory at Gettysburg occurred virtually simultaneously with the Union victory at Vicksburg. Was one more significant in determining the outcome of the war?
A: Yes and no. Vicksburg eliminated the Confederacy's grip on the Mississippi River valley, which had blocked the North's principal commercial highway. But the consequences of Vicksburg were more political and economic than military. Much of the opposition to the Lincoln administration had come from mid-western states which were hurting because of the Mississippi River blockage. The fall of Vicksburg took the steam out of a lot of that opposition. But it did not automatically change the military situation. The real line of operations, from a military point-of-view, ran along the line from Tennessee through Chattanooga into Georgia and Atlanta, and it would take the Union army another year-and-a-half to force that line open.
Gettysburg had more immediate military significance, because it demonstrated that the Confederate army was not irresistible, and that Robert E. Lee could be defeated. But that significance was limited by George Gordon Meade's failure to follow-up and completely destroy Lee's army. Lee would fight on for almost two more years. On the other hand, both Vicksburg and Gettysburg replenished Northern morale. They made July 4, 1863, the best Independence Day since, well, independence, and the best weekend the North had had in the war.
Q: Should Meade have pursued the Confederates after the battle? Had he done so, would that have ended the war any sooner?
A: Abraham Lincoln certainly thought so, and Meade's failure to bag the Confederate army afterwards was so bitter a disappointment that it's one of the few moments on record when Lincoln (who was not a sentimental man) actually broke down and cried. It's true that Meade's army had been pretty badly battered by its victory, and that any hot pursuit of Lee involved some very real risks. But Lee's army had been damaged much more greatly. Ironically, only six months or so before, Meade had turned on his former sponsor, George McClellan, for not taking risks. "I am tired of playing this war without risks," Meade said then, "Such a general will never command success, though he may avoid disaster." Those words rise up in judgment on Meade, because that's exactly how he ended-up behaving at Gettysburg and after. The result was that the Confederates escaped, and the Civil War dragged on for nearly two more bloody, carnage-ridden years.
Q: The Battle of Gettysburg had the greatest number of casualties in the American Civil War (Lee reported 20,451 casualties in all; Meade reported 24,000 men killed, wounded and missing. What was the cause of such mass casualties?
A: Like all Civil War battles, this was largely because the armies which fought at Gettysburg were volunteer armies, not long-service military professional armies or trained reserves like those we might find in Europe. The ordinary soldiers of the Civil War were poorly trained, poorly disciplined, and poorly led; even when they had West Point-trained commanders, the West Point training was an education in engineering, with almost no attention to combat tactics. The unendurably-long casualty lists flowed from amateur soldiers whose best idea of combat was simply to blaze away at short distances in motionless fire-fights. The great Prussian general Helmut von Moltke was supposed to have said that the American Civil War was really just two armed mobs, chasing each other around the countryside. Moltke actually had a far more serious interest in the Civil War than that comment suggests; but even if he didn't say it, there is a nugget of truth in it all the same. Plenty of heroism, but not much professionalism. Which, unfortunately, is also how most American wars have been fought.
Q: You write about how the significance of rifling technology has been overrated by military historians, whereas the bayonet has been underrated. Why is that?
A: The rifle musket had actually been in combat use since the late 18th-century, and even more so from the 1840s in the new 'system' invented by Claude-Étienne Minié. It was much less a revolutionary surprise to the Civil War experience than we often think. But even more, while the Minié rifle (and its various imitations, the American Springfield rifle musket, the British Enfield rifle musket, and the Austrian Lorenz) improved the range and accuracy of the musket, it did not improve it by that much. The rifling which imparted the increased accuracy to the musket also made it more finicky to use in practice; and since the rifle musket was still a single-shot, muzzle-loading black-powder weapon, it kicked out clouds of powder-smoke which, in a very short while, created cloud-banks of powder-fog that removed any of the benefits from longer range. It doesn't matter how accurate your weapon is, if you still can't see the enemy through the smoke. For this reason, most fire combat in the Civil War takes place in parade-ground line formations, only eighty to one hundred and twenty yards apart, just as it had in George Washington's day.
The weapon that was supposed to dominate the battlefield was the bayonet. Fire combat served either to soften up a defender or suppress an attacker; either way, it was only the prelude to closing with the bayonet. But that required a level of training which the Civil War armies never received. Hence, the tendency for battlefields like Gettysburg to bog down in slow-moving slugging matches, piling up corpses until one side or the other gives way.
Q: How did the circumstances of this battle affect its outcome? How was the land itself so crucial to how the battle played out?
A: Geography made the battle. For anyone moving along the great Lancaster Pike, Gettysburg is the first major crossroads of east-west and north-south highways. Its location sucked the two armies into collision. Once begun, the battle was really a series of fights along Gettysburg's north-south ridge-lines—McPherson's ridge, Seminary ridge, Cemetery ridge—which gave most of the advantages to the defending Union forces.
Q: What commonalities do you see between the Battle of Gettysburg and the way war is waged today?
A: Not many. The First World War was the moment where modern warfare broke completely and decisively from the past, due mainly to the advances in weapons technology before 1914. Sending soldiers in long lines to the attack had to give way to small-group infiltration tactics; artillery rather than rifles and bayonets became the chief source of casualties; the balance between the numbers of soldiers in combat and the number in rear-echelon support roles shifted drastically. The Civil War was still fought by soldiers, fighting shoulder-to-shoulder in long lines with short-range weapons; artillery in the Civil War mostly served to disrupt attacking formations and inflicted a much smaller percentage of casualties; and the Civil War ratio of combat to non-combat personnel was approximately 10-to-1. The Civil War faced backwards, to the wars of Napoleon and the 18th century, far more than it did to the future. You could not fight a modern war in the way the battle of Gettysburg was fought.
Q: You have lived in Gettysburg for the last ten years. How did your familiarity with the land influence your writing?
A: It gives a very keen feel for what the soldiers could see, and what the commanders could know. It's only when you stand on Cemetery Hill that you realize what a marvelous position it was for artillery. Most of the topography in south-central Pennsylvania is a series of undulating ridges, running from the outliers of the Appalachians to the Susquehanna River. But Cemetery Hill is a broad flat plateau, with gorgeous sight-lines for miles all around, and at just the elevation most desired by 19th-century artillery. But you'd never guess that merely from scanning a map.
The other gift given by living here is a familiarity with the look of the place. Except for the annihilation of the chestnut tree in the 20th century, the landscape is still dotted by most of the same species that the soldiers encountered in the battle. So, when soldiers in the 17th Maine talked about fighting at the edge of an alder thicket, you can find those alders still growing there today. And that lets me fill in the color palette of description in ways you couldn't do if you were only an occasional visitor here. I'm a big fan of James Lee Burke's mystery novels, and one thing I particularly love is the almost-touchable sense of the persimmon, cypress and pecan trees, the bayous, the sunlight of southwestern Louisiana. I've tried to do impart some of that same sense to the Gettysburg terrain.

Big City Racer
UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
Big City Racer Overview
Big City Racer is a simple racing game published by a European studio. The game doesn't have the same depth as Need for Speed World Online or Heat Online, but offers simple gameplay and has low system requirements. Players can race across the cities of Europe with up to eight participants per match. While the total number of maps is sparse, Big City Racer allows each one to be played under three weather settings. Each track also comes in two forms. The standard lap based game mode is the most common, but players can play sprint mode where cars must race from one end of the track to the other. Big City Racer has an assortment of cars for purchase and players can customize them using decals, rims, windows, and neon lights.
Tracks - Vienna, Paris, London, Berlin
Weather - Sunny, Rainy, Sunset

Big City Racer Full Review
By, Ange Perdu
Big City Racer is a 3D free to play MMO racing game where players race each other across Europe through the cities of Berlin, London, Paris, and Vienna. Speed past historic monuments and view breathtakingly beautiful sights while vying to become one of the best racers in the world. Practice solo in special ghost mode against your best time. Win challenging races and earn coins to customize your vehicle. Although it lacks the extensive mechanics and options that popular games such as Need for Speed World Online or Heat Online offers the additional features in Big City Racer makes racing fun. Compete in daily tournaments for jackpots and real prizes. Chat with other players and move up the ranks from mere rookie to city master.
1-2 Go, the Gameplay
Players begin by choosing the Ford Focus ST, Volvo C30 T5, or Volkswagen Golf GTI as their vehicle. As players win races and earn coins more cars and customization options are unlocked. Most of the gameplay in Big City Racer focuses on a player's progression from rookie to master. Competitors have to participate in as many races as possible snagging first or second place for a coin reward. Each race has a fee or stake that racers pay to compete. Depending on the difficulty level of the track stakes range from 1 to 5 coins per race. Despite the simplicity of the game it is surprisingly challenging. The true-to-life backdrops of major European tourist destinations create complex roadways for players to navigate through. In the city of Berlin racers must squeeze their car through the columns in the historic Brandenburg Gate flying past the Bundestag dome and famous Museumsinsel. Wide round streets quickly turn narrow requiring precise control. Players have to speed through the tapered roads of London past the iconic red double-decker busses and zoom across the bridge. The various tunnels and long winding streets of Europe are demanding especially when using the default arrow keys to drive. There is a cool single-player ghost training mode that let's users practice racing a ghost car representing their previous time. It allows racers to become familiar with the tracks and improve without wasting coins. Players can race in sunny, sunset, and rainy weather conditions on round or sprint tracks in each city. Big City Racer plays much like any other racing game, which is a bit disappointing in a way, as there really aren't any unique features in the game.
Tournaments & Rankings
The player base in Big City Racer is small which can make it difficult to find a race at times. Users can enter the Find a Player tab to view all the players currently online. Click on them to join the room where they are racing or conduct a search to find a specific friend. There's usually always a few players online available to race. Once a race is started aborting it will forfeit coin stake. Another unique feature in Big City Racer is their tournaments and ranking options. Tournaments are held daily giving users equal opportunity to earn large amounts of coins without spending real money. Clicking the tournament tab will bring up the weekly schedule. Players can browse and choose a competition to register for. Registration is just a quick click and a countdown will appear displaying the days, hours, and minutes until the showdown. Most tournaments have a stake of 5 coins. The top players get to move on to the next round until only one racer is left victorious. The bottom players are automatically eliminated from the tournament. One random tournament participant each day will be drawn for a real prize. These gifts can range from free software to the latest cell phone or high tech gadget. There's also a chat box integrated in the game room for players to converse with one another. Chatting can take place before and after races not during. Players can see how they rank with the rest of the players online in terms of wins and riches by browsing the ranks for the past 7 days or 30 day stats.
The Garage Shop
There's a nice amount of customization available in Big City Racer. Players can have 10 vehicles to choose from including the Petty Cruiser, Classy C6, Tycoon, McCormick, Spider, Opulent R1, and the Police car. They range from 1,000 to 7,000 coins depending on the model. Once purchased players can alter the color, add decals, window tint, aluminum rims, boosts, underbody neon lights, and change the horn sound. Select a finish in red, blue, green, yellow, black, white, silver, orange, or dark gray. Lightening, straight lines, number one symbol, infinity, racing team, playboy, or tramp stamp decals can be added to the sides and back of vehicles. Apply a deep ocean blue, gold, or dark black window tint. Attach silver or black alien style rims. Players can also match their nitro boost colors with their car in hope, wisdom, and love shades. Install neon lights in blue heaven, red energy, or light gold. A constant throughout the game is its sound effects. All cars feature a standard horn but can be later customized to resemble a carnival, truck stop, cow noise, or Mexican melody. Users who really want to pimp out their ride need about 6,250 or so coins which will require winning a lot of races.
Final Verdict: Fair
Big City Racer is a challenging and addicting racing MMO. Players that are new to racing games or looking for a different type of environment to explore will enjoy the scenic European backdrop as they compete for top rank against others. Maneuver around historical monuments. Speed through numerous tunnels, bridges, narrow brick pathways, and wide turning roads across Berlin, London, Paris, and Vienna to an adrenaline pumping techno house soundtrack. Although very basic when compared to more polished games like Heat Online or Need for Speed World Online Big City Racer it can still be fun. One of the game's biggest drawbacks though is its incredibly low playerbase.

I also think that NVidia compute apps generally run a lot faster in CUDA mode than OpenCL.
I'm not sure if the app developers have just spent more time optimizing CUDA, or if it's something NVidia hasn't done much of yet. But I don't think you can just say that the AMD 79xx > NVidia at compute.
http://geizhals.at/783302 with 2666mhz
even with the same die size you get more MHZ on the cpu and gpu APU because of 22nm but they will be bigger dies as well.
also 256bit ram interface is on the AMD roadmap for the desktop in 2013 they can't go with 128bit interface forever.
so what? then the "APU" do have 100% more speed than now will you still claim that its not faster?
It's also worth noting that GCN is a completely new architecture which they really haven't tuned all of the performance out of yet so tests from 3 months ago fail to give the whole story. So while Nvidia has probably gotten most of the performance out of their 680 because it's an evolutionary and a simplification step off of Fermi, AMD actually has some real play left in terms of optimization.
Yes AMD is still working on problems with the new design. In theory it has got a hardware h264 ENCODER like kepler but there is still no software that can access it.

Love led to weight loss for Kelly Clarkson
POSTED: Saturday, January 5, 2013 - 6:00am
UPDATED: Saturday, January 5, 2013 - 6:04am
CNN — Fallling in love sometimes translates to weight gain, but for Kelly Clarkson it's had the opposite effect.
The 30-year-old singer, who announced her engagement to Brandon Blackstock in December, told Cosmopolitan magazine that she dropped 18 pounds after falling for the talent manager.
"I think that happens when you fall in love or date someone," Clarkson said. "If I'm going to be kissing or messing around, I gotta look good."
And it sounds like she fell hard: "Six years I was single before this," Clarkson told the magazine. "I've never been truly loved like I am right now."
The "Stronger" songstress said watching her portions was key, a tip she picked up from her trainer.
"There's not a fad diet. I was working with a trainer, and she said, 'You'd be amazed the amount of weight you can drop by halving your portions. I know it sounds crazy, but do it for two weeks and watch what happens,'" Clarkson recalled.
"I just cut back my portions, I stopped eating late at night, and I work out a little more than I used to, and I literally dropped 18 pounds in a month. I think it happens when you get really busy as well. But when I'm on my off-time---girl, those 18 might come back."

The Battle Among The Clans sets its scene in the 1940s, a period which is rarely covered in Hong Kong TV dramas. Led by the world renowned superstar Chow Yun Fat, this drama features the most popular artists now and then. Mini Kung takes on the female lead for the first time and she makes a very good start, by creating fantastic chemistries with with Eddie Kwan and Chow Yun Fat. Fans who enjoy watching Chow Yun Fat in The Bund would equally appreciate this drama, which has a similar style but with a more light-hearted and less depressing tone.

Increase Prices?
According to LMT's 2013 Dentist Survey, lab owners are sometimes hesitant to raise their fees, fearful of losing the account. Yet 53% of dentists surveyed feel it's reasonable for a laboratory to increase prices once a year by an average of 3.3%. Twenty-nine percent think an increase—an average of 4.6—every two years is more acceptable.

Hello, everyone. How has your week been going? Great, I hope.
I have been talking about my writing class for awhile now. Well, this week my instructor informed me that my papers are two of the best papers in the class. That shocked me and brought a smile to my face. In addition, she wants to use my paper as an example for future classes. Of course I said "Yes." The instructor made my day.
If I can pull off at least an 82% on my next 3 math tests, I can finish with a 3.0. I am going to try really hard to achieve that goal.
I am confident I should do well in my other classes. Only three more weeks to go.
Transporter 3 is coming out on the 26th of November. I am so excited. I normally do not go to the movies, but for the star of the movie, Jason Statham, I will!! He is so HOT!!!
Well, I have to go now. My grandson is having surgery today and I want to be there for him.
I want you all to have a great weekend.

9. Winter Solstice
The Lord of Imladris sighed, weary with the weight of all his years tonight, and tried to shake off his gloomy reverie as he prepared for bed. Unbuttoning his dark green robe, he lay it carefully over a chair.
It was equally true that no finer, more prepared group of companions could be found; certainly not with the willingness of heart, the strength of spirit to volunteer to go. Where they had come by it, he did not know. They were strangers, of different ages and races, even their hopes for the journey and how best to accomplish their goal were at odds. Yet they unhesitatingly stood up for each other - uncomfortably at first, but fervent – and if none of them seemed sure how they could serve the quest, each believed he might be able to aid the others.
He slid his long hair inside his grey inner robe and raised it over his head, placed it to lie carefully with the heavier fabric of the green. He would let his mind focus there, on the already flourishing bonds that formed between them. They had all looked proud as they stood gathered to say goodbye at the gate – proud of each other, proud of the invisible steel that let the little ring-bearer stand straight and firm. When the steward's son had let out that horn blast, the valley walls had taken up the call, sang back their praise. He had looked stern, and cautioned them not to be so foolishly blatant again, but the nine had nodded together in agreement when the big warrior had said they would not go forth like thieves in the night. They had needed their moment, their battle call, the chance to feel their blood stir and answer the summons. They were going to war, perhaps the deadliest war of all. They must battle not only the Shadow, but the desire to run home and abide in safety and joy – perilous, deceptive joy – and let someone else be visible, be vulnerable, carry the flag.
He turned down the coverlet of his bed and sighed. Nine standard-bearers, each knowing he might be asked to pay the ultimate price. Each had nodded, touched his heart to show his steadfastness, and gone through the gates of the valley toward the unknown. He might have wished they had more warriors to rally to them, but their longed-for victory might be better served by their quiet determination. Sometimes a man was strongest stripped back to his feä and his face.
He stood in only his silken shirt, looked down his long body at the ring that gleamed on his softly glowing hand, and placed it in the gesture of farewell over his own heart, where he wore, as he did every hour of every day, an embroidered field of stars on deepest blue. Once you have accepted a standard, there is no way you can surrender it and keep yourself.
He turned and blew out his candles, and stood a moment in the darkened room. He himself was now stripped back to his basic hope for their quest; his desire to see the feä of Arda continue to burn bright.

20 MAY 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—After 37 years as Head of Conservation at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, Virginia Greene retires, officially if not entirely, June 30, 2008—and it is safe to say that she will not be forgotten by her colleagues or by the many students and interns she helped to train at the Museum.
With about one million archaeological and anthropological artifacts collected from all over the world, Penn Museum has been a never-ending source of conservation opportunities and challenges. Unlike many conservators who specialize in archaeology or ethnography or certain kinds of materials, Ms. Greene has maintained a Renaissance woman's wide-ranging interest and capabilities. Among the thousands of artifacts she has examined and conserved over her tenure at the Museum are such diverse objects as the world-famous bull-headed lyre and Lady Pu-Abi's dazzling gold and lapis lazuli headdress, both from the famous ancient Sumerian site of Ur; intricately woven masterpiece baskets from the Pomo Indians of California; poison darts and textiles from the Dayaks of Borneo; and South American feather headdresses.

27 JUNE 2008, Philadelphia, PA—Dr. Richard Hodges, Williams Director, Penn Museum, is pleased to announce a gift of $1 million from an anonymous donor to endow the Mediterranean Section Keepership in memory of Dr. Keith DeVries, longtime associate curator of the Museum's Mediterranean section and associate professor of Classical Studies at Penn.
Like most major geographical "sections" at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Mediterranean Section has a "Keeper"—a full time staff person responsible for the care of and access to the 34,000 artifacts in Penn Museum's ancient Mediterranean section collections. Lynn C. Makowsky, the section's Keeper since 2000, is the Museum's first Keith Devries Keeper. Ms. Makowsky holds an M.A. in Museum Studies from San Francisco State University. For the past six seasons, she has been part of the staff at the joint Penn Museum/Southern Methodist University/Franklin and Marshall College Mugello Valley Archaeological Project and Poggio Colla Field School in Italy.

A New Exhibition Opening 13 September 2008 at the Penn Museum Tells the Long-Unspoken Story of the Region's Local Native Americans
01 AUGUST 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Conventional histories of Pennsylvania declare that all but a few elderly Lenape people left the state by the opening of the 19th century. Many Lenape were indeed driven westward, and ultimately established communities in Oklahoma, Kansas, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and in other parts of the United States and Canada. Yet, many remained here in secret. Children of the little known Lenape-European marriages of the 1700s stayed on the Lenape homelands (New Jersey, Pennsylvania, northern Delaware and southern New York) and continued to practice their traditions covertly. Hiding their Lenape heritage, they avoided discovery by both the government and their neighbors for more than two hundred years. Now, the descendants of these people have come forward to tell their story.

07 OCTOBER 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—"Iyare!"—"May you go and return safely!"—is the phrase onlookers shout when Edo nobles head for the Benin Kingdom's palace in the West African country of Nigeria.
The University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology invites visitors to a new exhibition that focuses on the rich art and cultural heritage, as well as the ongoing traditions, of the Edo people of Nigeria's Benin Kingdom. IYARE! Splendor and Tension in Benin's Palace Theatre opens with a public celebration Saturday, 08 November 2008.
Nearly 100 objects from the Penn Museum's world-renowned collection of cast bronzes, carved ivories and wooden artifacts (16th to the 21st centuries A.D.) from the Kingdom of Benin, form the core of this new exhibition. Photographs from contemporary palace life, text, video, regional Nigerian art, and international art inspired by Benin culture, help to tell the story. The exhibition includes many Penn Museum pieces that have not been on display for decades, as well as loans of significant works from the Smithsonian's National Museum of African Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Baltimore Museum of Art. IYARE! is an outgrowth of a University of Pennsylvania Halpern-Rogath History of Art curatorial seminar, and a curatorial collaboration between its students and African art historian and professor Dr. Kathy Curnow.

16 OCTOBER 2008, PHILADELPHIA, PA—For the first time in human history the Earth's climate is changing—and we know about it in advance. The ancient Egyptians, the Maya, the Roman Empire and medieval Europeans—all of whom faced dramatic climate change—did not. Some adapted to changing conditions; some did not. What can we learn from their strategies—both the successful and the unsuccessful, as we face our own climate crisis?

Cobra Speedster Short Swept 2.5" Exhaust For Harley Touring
Cobra's Speedster systems combine aggressive styling and modern performance technology. These triple-chromed, radius styled pipes feature full-length 222 degree heat shields. They also deliver power gains over stock pipes that are among the highest in the business. In part those gains come from the Cobra PowerPort, the proprietary crossover technology that helps to increase overall power from idle to redline which leads to a deep and aggressive exhaust tone. PowerPort increases power and overall performance by providing superior scavenging of exhaust gases over most standard exhaust systems. The end result is the Speedsters deliver the kind of power increase you normally experience with a 2-into-1 system, while retaining the clean lines of a 2-into-2 pipe.

Congratulations on your feature Bee! Heading over to Design Sponge now to read it!
Cool! Looks like I can make a big batch and freeze for the festive season
How much oil is used for the initial browning? I have never heard of adding water to a pan with hot oil. I suppose if there is only a small amount of oil, adding water will not cause a large eruption. I will try it anyway, however, I would like comments if someone has already tried this. thanks.
Yum, indeed!
one of my all time faves
To John, I too was a little unsure of adding water to a pan of oil, but the quantities of each are so small, there is no danger of an explosion. I have made these dumplings twice now and they are superb.
I love dumplings! I will try to make it very soon. Great picture!

I love bene-bac it helps sick animals recover after anti-biotics and is essential for healthy bottle fed kittens. I use the powder as it is cost effective but I give out the gel tubes to my customers who are adopting kittens.
after being on antibiotics, my young cat stopped eating. She would not eat canned food or high end cat food...only treats. six hours after 1 treatment of Bene-Bac Plus by mouth, she started eating. What a amazing product. Thank You!!!
