I'm all for filing the bug report. Is there another way to obtain the output file on Live beta?
I sustain what I said before. Some animations are clunky but ONLY in the Activities in/out animations. Interestingly, during the automatic test transparent windows had smoother animations most of the time, with the same number of windows.
The whole thing doesn't look like a performance problem but rather... like the activities in/out animation has been hardcoded to cover the animation in X steps of window movement, so the more distance is to cover, the clunkier the animation looks like.
Also the Activities triggering seems off. Works with at least a 0.25 sec delay, while it's almost instant in F18.
Once I get the output of the automatic test I'll post the bug report along with video recordings.
I tried to point the tool to save the output file on my hard drive. The system hanged again after the test (or during the test?), as expected, but there were no output file in the location I specified, once I rebooted.
The results look OK, the animations don't. I'll post the videos.
I'll edit the bug later to add more details and videos.
Videos added. Since I'm bombarding the topic anyway - can someone, please, tell me how to EDIT a bug description on bugzilla? :/

Decided to do a little cooking today. Nothing flash just some good old bread rolls and a butterfly chicken.
Used a 10" oven (5 HB underneath and 15 on top) for the rolls and a 12" oven (6 HB underneath and 18 on top) for the chicken
To butterfly the chicken I removed the backbone with a pair of kitchen shears
Then removed the breastbone and flattened it out
Light spray with olive oil then sprinkle both sides with a combination of herbs. I used paprika, marjoram, basil, rosemary, oregano, parsley & thyme. This gives an Italian taste.
Lifting the lid for a look after half an hour
Cooked to perfection with a lovely crispy skin
After all that cooking I was mighty hungry so cooked up some mashed potato, steamed carrots and brocolli and gravy for a mountainous meal. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmm

Scam School's Brian Brushwood does a TEDx talk wherein he covers a few studies showing people's ingrained obedience to perceived "authority."
Although it is presented from a magic and scam perspective, the studies he brings up are very telling, and representative of the difficulties we face in turning people away from blind obedience to "authority."
It's unfortunate, as relying on perceived "authorities" is likely an evolutionary development, and has benefits, however it is sadly so exploited by those who seek, or are already in, "power."Read more »

Once in a while it happens naturally - because it is your very nature to be free. So once in a while, in spite of you.seeing a sunset, suddenly you forget all your desires. You forget all lust, all hankering for pleasure. The sunset is so beautiful, so overwhelming, that you forget the past and the future; only the present remains. You are so one with the moment, there is no observer and no observed. The observer becomes the observed. You are not separate from the sunset.
You are bridged; in such a communion you come into a clearing, and because of the clearing you feel joyous. But again you are back into the black hole for the simple reason that coming out into the clearing you need courage to remain in the empty sky.
That's what I call sannyas.
This courage I call sannyas - not escaping but coming into the clearing, seeing the sky unclouded, listening to the songs of the birds without distorting. And then again and again you are becoming more and more attuned with the emptiness and the joy of being empty. And slowly, slowly you see that emptiness is not just emptiness; it is fullness, but a fullness of which you have never been aware, a fullness of which you have never tasted. So in the beginning it looks empty; in the end it is full, totally full, overflowingly full. It is full of peace, it is full of silence, it is full of light.
You have come out of the hollow into the clearing. Sometimes while meditating it happens, sometimes while listening to music it happens, sometimes while dancing it happens, sometimes while just sitting doing nothing it happens. That's what meditation is all about: allowing these moments to come more and more, welcoming these moments, cherishing these moments, so that you become easily capable of coming out of the black hole. And as you become accustomed to the clearing and the beauty of it and the blessing of it, you move less and less into the black hole. One day, suddenly you abandon the black hole; it is no more your home. The clearing becomes your home, clarity becomes your home. That is the day of great rejoicing.
Desire is a hollowand people say, "Look!He was free.But now he gives up his freedom."
I can see it happening in you. Many times I see a certain person coming into the clearing and then moving again into the black hole.
This is what is happening to Somendra. He was coming into the clearing, he had tasted something of the clearing, but then the very experience of the clearing made him egoistic. It gave him a certain pious egoism. He started feeling special; hence, just the other day he was asking for recognition. He used to sit here in the third row; he wanted to sit in the first row. Now he has disappeared from the third row. He sits somewhere in the back, and there too he sits not facing towards me; his back is towards me! Moving into the black hole again!

Now I have nothing to worry about water pressure, easy installation, low vibration, making the most advantage of my system of RO / DI. boosted up By Andrew on 1/6/2012 Andrew would recommend this product to a friend Kit is great with everything you need to complete the setup, had a bit of a draw back since it blew the lid off of an aditional canister so i BACKED IT DOWN A BIT. wAS RUNNING HOUSE PRESSURE AT 35-40- NOW AT 70-75. Have a well -- get this pump By Carveth on 12/1/2011 Carveth would recommend this product to a friend It is nice for everything you need comes with it and their video makes for an easy install. We have a well and I thought I'd try the RO/IO system without it. No go. Wells are set up with lower pressures and varying pressures. They typically operate between 30 - 50 pounds, give or take a few pounds either way. The lower pressure is to reduce the back pressure on the pump down in the bottom of the well. This makes it last much longer. The range also saves the pump. Otherwise the pump would have to come on every time you turn a faucet in the house. It would be constantly kicking on and off. The well pump, pumps water up into a pressure tank which keeps a steady flow throughout the house. Well worth the money By Adam on 11/29/2011 Adam would recommend this product to a friend I have a well so I had very low water pressure. Now I get over 90psi and my 5-stage plus unit produces water much faster. Increased RO water output! By David on 11/11/2011 David would recommend this product to a friend Well worth the cost. With this pump my RO system puts out 30-40% more. Easy cost savings and easy to install. Easy to Install with instant results By Timothy on 10/30/2011 Timothy would recommend this product to a friend I have the 150 gallon per day deluxe kit and was pleased with the results with it running at 40 psi, I chose to add on this pump when we decided to get a refrigerator with the water built in, combining this pump with a pressure tank we have great results and never run out of water, installation took 5 minutes. Highly recommend By Faithful Fish Wife on 7/10/2011 Faithful Fish Wife would recommend this product to a friend Very quiet pump, will maintain pressure during the summer when the water pressure drops. Will allow you to have a much more reliable filtration unit in terms of production and purity of the filtrate. Well worth the cost. By Ben on 6/25/2011 Ben would recommend this product to a friend I ordered the 5 stage 75gpd system and installed it 2 weeks ago, learned that my house did not have enough water pressure, was barely 30 psi at the membraine. Ordered the booster pump and the 150 gpd upgraded and just installed both in under 30 min with the help of the videos. Now showing 92 psi before the first membraine and I cant even hear the pump run. Great product and great service. Nice addition to ro/di unit By Bob on 6/12/2011 Bob would recommend this product to a friend Finally I get get more than 5-10 gallons a day from my old ro/di unit. Nice hefty unit. Installation instructions could be made a little clearer though. Aquatic 8800 booster pump kit By Derrick on 6/8/2011 Derrick would recommend this product to a friend Most amazing! It more then doubled my RO/DI output of good water. A must have for your RO system! By reef junkie on 5/31/2011 reef junkie would recommend this product to a friend I'm running this thing on a 150gal per day system and it pushes my unit to max performance I was making about 100 gal per hr. @ 60 PSI with .05ppm phosphates. Now I'm making about 160gal hr. @ 85psi with 0 ppm phosphates. Definitely worth the money, I paid full price get it now for memorial week and they're knocking off 20% that's 112 bucks. Don't miss out on this sweet buy. Works Great! By FossilDiverSteve on 3/1/2011 FossilDiverSteve would recommend this product to a friend Pump works great. Very easy to install and holds consistent pressure. I definitely recommend this pump. I have a 90 GPD RO/DI on a well.

Steamed Asari (Manila) Clam Recipe
A few nights ago, I met up with my friends at Izakaya by Katsu-Ya in LA. We ordered many delicious Japanese dishes, two servings of chilled sake and chatted our night away. We had such a wonderful time!
One of the dishes we ordered was a Japanese izakaya classic—steamed asari (manila) clams with sake or asari no sakamushi, a personal favorite that I never miss out whenever I dine at izakaya.
I came to know about Japanese izakaya about eight years ago when I first visited Tokyo. During the trip, I had numerous meals at this izakaya in a small alley right next to my hotel. Sitting on a tatami mat and dine from a low table in traditional Japanese style, my host introduced me to yakitori, steamed asari clams, chicken karaage, yakisoba, agedashi tofu and various mouthwatering Japanese small-plates. I was instantly lured by this very special and casual Japanese dining culture–one that comes complete with food, booze, and great social ambiance. I have been hooked ever since.
If you haven't been to a Japanese izakaya or the place you live has no such Japanese dining establishments, you can always make the popular izakaya dishes at home. This steamed asari clam recipe is very easy to make and requires only a few ingredients. The sake and mirin used in the recipe accentuate the natural briny flavor of the clams and the end result was so lip-smackingly good that I slurped the sake broth dry. Yum!
This post also marks the start of a new "Japanese izakaya" series here on Rasa Malaysia. I am so excited and can't wait to share with you the rest of the recipes. If you adore Japanese cuisine, you might also want to check out my previously published Japanese recipes, which include miso ramen, matcha ice cream, miso soup, tofu salad, Nobu black cod, panko-crusted softshell crab, and more.

Mmmm, sounds like a great night.
It looks delicious Bee! The butter is a surprising twist.
It was soooo good to see you again!!
xoxox, j
One of my favorite dishes!
i can imagine the broth to taste sweet naturally! brilliant indeed
Miss Izakaya terribly….:(
This sounds wonderful! I am a huge fan of shellfish.
Absolutely delicious! I would do the same with the broth!!
This looks absolutely delicious. I've been going through a shellfish phase recently and this looks like it would fit the bill just right!
Hi all – thanks for your comments. :)
This is one of my favourite clam dishes. I would just slurp everything up, no time to talk, which kind of defeats the purpose of izakaya, doesn't it? ;)
Finally a great steamed asari clams recipe that I can try at home. At Japanese izakaya, this is an expensive dish to order and you only get a few steamed asari clams with little soup.
I love steamed asari clams! The recipe sounds really simple, now all I have to do is buy some clams and the sake and mirin and follow your recipe and I will have a home-cooked steamed asari clams. Thanks so much!
japanese dining is beautiful..so relaxed and calming. almost like an art. it's something my family adores and follows..these clams are gorgeous! wow…it's just hit me that i really need to go out for some awesome seafood real soon.
I continue to be jealous of the seafood you have access to.

About Me Long-time Pet Owner
Comments about Halo Herbal Eye Wash:
Keeping it in the frig and mixing it every 3 or 4 days with boiling water is a pain.. But it work! Most products I have used didn't work. I have used it for 3 years now. You don't use this everyday 3 or 4 days of part A and then 3 or 4 days of part B and then wait 3 or 4 days and repeat. The vet wanted to put a splint in the tear duct years ago. It cost like 2G and may not even work. This has been a problem since he was a kitten. But so far so good. It Works!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comment on this review
By Sue
from Berkeley, CA
Hi, I purchased this product while fostering a miniature poodle who had goop all around his eyes and tear staining. He did not have an eye infection. I cleaned and flushed his eyes twice a day with eye wash and nothing helped. After reading that this product is good for fixing blocked tear ducts, I decided to try it. His eyes were clear after one cycle (9 days) and he did not develop tear staining for 6 months. Now I will use the product again

It Works!!
By Patti
from Lake Havasu City, AZ
My toy spaniel had been suffering from eye blockage and excessive tearing for 3yrs. He had a minor surgical procedure to opened the tear duct but had temporary results. I tried this product and after two treatment sessions, no more problems. I use it now for maintenance and eye wash when needed..
Helps but not a Cure for my Dog
By Dogmom
from Huntington Beach, CA
It is much easier to give these eye drops than the ones from the vet, I don't think these sting like the others. It has helped with his eyes but not a complete cure for a dog who gets infections VERY easily. Also much less expensive than the ones from the vet.
This product worked wonders
By Happy puppy owner
from Orlando, FL
If I had taken my puppy to the vet I would have spent too much money. This product was a life saver and it worked awesome. My puppy is doing great and the problem is all gone. She is a healthy happy puppy.
Wonderful product!
By Sadie Girl's mom
from New Orleans, LA
I am extremely pleased with this product. My bichon frise has had lots of problems with thick brown discharge coming from her eyes. Within days of using HALO herbal eye wash the brown discharge stopped! Now after only two rounds of treatment, her eyes are completely free of the discharge. It has been over a week since I last used the product and her eyes are still completely clear.

It works
By dogdad
from CA
I used this after the vet diagnosed my malamutewith a blocked tear duct and had tried anti biotics and steroids, non of which worked. Heindicated surgery was the only alternative whichhe did not want to do. I was refered to this product by a friend and after two weeks of usethe tear duct opened and was fine. A year laterI had to use it again and again it worked well.Just follow the directions and you should be fine.
Did everything I expected.

Great product for tear duct issues
By Manydogs
from Santa Cruz, CA
Our lab developed an ulcer/small tumor in her tear duct which, according to the eye specialist, had to come out or it could lead to blindness in that eye. Before I spent a thousand dollars on such an invasive surgery, I decided to try this product ... especially because it targeted the tear ducts. It took two rounds of treatments but the ulcer disappeared.

Letters to the Editor - Jan. 30, 2013
Wednesday, January 30, 2013
From Fair Tide
To the editor: On behalf of Fair Tide in Kittery, I want to publicly thank Barbour Warehouse Store for their continued support of our recently completed annual coat drive.
I thank Barbour Warehouse Store for their continued investment in the greater Seacoast and the many individual and corporate supporters who help Fair Tide achieve its mission to help the homeless.
I feel the same practice would work well for the schools. I'm not saying every teacher should have a gun but if some of the teachers were trained, passed background checks, etc.; they could protect their children and themselves. If one of those brave teachers in Newtown had a gun, maybe they, and several children would be alive today. Intruders wouldn't know which teacher had protection.
Taxes not bad
It's time for our leaders to start treating us like adults and initiate a conversation about responsibility for ourselves, for others and for the government. As the French minister Anne-Robert Jacques Turgot remarked over two centuries ago, "The expenses of government, having for their object the interest of all, should be borne by everyone, and the more a man enjoys the advantages of society, the more he ought to hold himself honored in contributing to these expenses."
Belated thanks
To the editor: What do you get when you mix a great group of firefighters, Santa Claus and a classroom full of excited children?

My friend told me about this Apex Forskolin Belly Melt she's been taking that she's lost a ton of weight with, but it was too expensive for me to try on a single-mom budget. Then I see it as an option on here, so I guess I'll take that as a sign. I hope it works for me too!

Two killed in Clackamas Town Center shootings; shooter dead, too
By JONATHAN J. COOPER
and STEVEN DUBOIS
Of the Associated Press
PORTLAND — The gunman who killed two people and himself during a shooting rampage Tuesday afternoon at Clackamas Town Center, located a few miles east of Portland, was 22 years old and used a rifle stolen from someone he knew, Clackamas County Sheriff Craig Roberts said at a press conference this morning.
Jacob Tyler Roberts armed himself with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle and had several fully loaded magazines when he arrived at the mall, according to the sheriff.
He said the rifle jammed during the 22-year-old's attack, but he managed to get it working again. He later shot himself. The sheriff said authorities don't yet have a motive.
A law enforcement official has told The Associated Press the shooter did not have a criminal record. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss details of an ongoing criminal investigation.
Two people — 54-year-old woman Cindy Ann Yuille of Northeast Portland and 45-year-old Steven Mathew Forsyth of West Linn — were killed in the food court. Another, 15-year-old Kristina Shevchenko of Portland, was wounded and was in serious condition following the shooting. She was transported by ground ambulance to Oregon Health & Science University in Portland.
Yuille's family said in a statement, "Cindy was everybody's friend. She was a wonderful person who was very caring and put others first."
"Steven Mathew Forsyth was a loving husband, father of two children, son, brother, uncle, youth sports coach and friend to the many people who had the privilege to meet him," Forsyth's family said in statement.
Yuille was a nurse at a hospice along with her husband, her employer, Kaiser Permanente said.
"Cindy was a beloved caregiver for the kind and compassionate support she provided for patients and families at times of impending loss and need," a company statement said.
Forsyth owned at least two businesses, one of them a mall store registered with the state just two weeks ago. The other was a marketing firm called Big Feat Marketing.
Before leaving to start his businesses, Forsyth worked in sales for a group of Portland radio stations, KGW-TV reported.
"Our family is mourning from losing a great person," Entercom Communications vice president Tim McNamara told the station.
The shooter, who wore a hockey-style mast, fired randomly, investigators said. People at the mall were heroic in helping get shoppers out of the building, including off-duty emergency room nurses who rendered aid, Roberts said.
In response to previous mass shootings elsewhere, the first arriving officers were trained to form teams and go inside instead of waiting for SWAT. Employees at the mall also received training to handle such a situation.
"This could have been much, much worse," Roberts said.
The first 911 call came at 3:29 p.m. Tuesday. The first officers arrived a minute later. By 3:51 p.m., all the victims and the gunman and rifle had been found. Four SWAT teams spent hours clearing the 1.4 million square-foot mall, leaving shoppers and workers to hide in fear.
The mall Santa, Brance Wilson, was waiting for the next child's Christmas wish when shots rang out, causing the mall to erupt into chaos.
About to invite a child to hop onto his lap, Wilson instead dove for the floor and kept his head down as he heard shots being fired upstairs in the mall.
"I heard two shots and got out of the chair. I thought a red suit was a pretty good target," said Wilson, 68. Families waiting for Santa scattered. More shots followed, and Wilson crept away for better cover.
Witnesses said the gunman fired several times near the mall food court until the rifle jammed and he dropped a magazine onto the floor, then ran into the Macy's store.
Witnesses heard the gunman saying, "I am the shooter," as he fired rounds.
Some were close enough to the shooter to feel the percussion of his gun.
Police rapid-response teams came into the mall with guns drawn, telling everyone to leave. Shoppers and mall employees who were hiding stayed in touch with loved ones with cellphones and texting.
Kayla Sprint, 18, was interviewing for a job at a clothing store when she heard shots.
"We heard people running back here screaming, yelling '911,'" she told The Associated Press.
Sprint barricaded herself in the store's back room until the coast was clear.
Jason DeCosta, a manager of a window-tinting company that has a display on the mall's ground floor, said when he arrived to relieve his co-worker, he heard shots ring out upstairs.
DeCosta ran up an escalator, past people who had dropped for cover and glass littering the floor.
"I figure if he's shooting a gun, he's gonna run out of bullets," DeCosta said, "and I'm gonna take him."
DeCosta said when he got to the food court, "I saw a gentleman face down, obviously shot in the head."
"A lot of blood," DeCosta said. "You could tell there was nothing you could do for him."
He said he also saw a woman on the floor who had been shot in the chest.
Austin Patty, 20, who works at Macy's, said he saw a man in a white mask carrying a rifle and wearing a bulletproof vest. There was a series of rapid-fire shots in short succession as Christmas music played. Patty said he dove for the floor and then ran.
His Macy's co-worker, Pam Moore, told the AP the gunman was short, with dark hair.
Kira Rowland told KGW-TV that she was shopping at Macy's with her infant son when the shots started.
"All of a sudden you hear two shots, which sounded like balloons popping," Rowland told the station. "Everybody got on the ground. I grabbed the baby from the stroller and got on the ground."
Rowland said she heard people screaming and crying.
"I put the baby back in the stroller and ran," Rowland said.
Kaelynn Keelin was working two stores down from Macy's when the gunfire began. She watched windows of another store get shot out. She and her co-workers ran to get customers inside their own store to take shelter.
"If we would have run out, we would have run right into it," she said.
Shaun Wik, 20, was Christmas shopping with his girlfriend and opened a fortune cookie at the food court. Inside was written: "Live for today. Remember yesterday. Think of tomorrow."
As he read it, he heard three shots. He heard a man he believes was the gunman shout, "Get down!" but Wik and his girlfriend ran. He heard seven or eight more shots. He didn't turn around.
"If I had looked back, I might not be standing here," Wik said. "I might have been one of the ones who got hit."
Clackamas Town Center is one of the Portland area's biggest and busiest malls, with 185 stores and a 20-screen movie theater.
Holli Bautista, 28, was shopping at Macy's for a Christmas dress for her daughter when she heard pops that sounded like firecrackers. "I heard people running and screaming and saying 'Get out, there's somebody shooting,'" she told the AP.
She said hundreds of shoppers and mall employees started running, and she and dozens of other people were trying to escape through a department store exit.
Tiffany Turgetto and her husband were leaving Macy's through the first floor when they heard gunshots coming from the second floor of the mall. They were able to leave quickly through a Barnes & Noble bookstore before the police locked down the mall.
"I had left my phone at home. I was telling people to call 911. Surprisingly, people are around me, no one was calling 911. I think people were in shock," she said.
Associated Press writers Nigel Duara in Portland, Michelle Price in Phoenix, Pete Yost in Washington and Manuel Valdes in Seattle contributed to this report.

At first, i thought that it was wearing one of those caps that you wear when you graduate. Then I thought, "That's right, Octopus thing, teach society that you can get a quality education. Fight the discrimination!" Then I started to blog on one of my favorite octopus-rights sites. When I came back to order three, i saw that i was incorrect and that it is actually in the ceiling... or something... so i decided to pass
Oh, Davy Jones! Get outta my ceiling!
I think I want to hang this shirt on my ceiling.

"Not his best but good...left me wanting moore"
I haven't read all of Christopher Moore's books, but I have read a few. Perhaps my standards were too high after Lamb and Sacre Bleu. This book felt a little amateurish. At times I wanted to turn it off because I felt like I was listening to a cheesy romance novel. You know, with a picture of Fabio on the front. After I finished listening to it, and knowing this was the first of a 3 book series, I was curious where he would take the story. I'm glad I continued on. The next book is better, and the one after that is even better. It's interesting to listen to his writing style change and grow over time.
If you're listening to this book, I recommend getting the other two as well. The characters are much more interesting and developed in the other books than in this one.
Also, this is the best narrator I've ever heard. I would listen to books I normally would have no interest in as long as she's the narrator.
"Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!!!"
GRRM can write!!! This book is much more poetic and beautifully written than the GoT series. I can understand why some fans of GoT wouldn't like this one as much, though. The pacing is slower and it's not as epic. If one had never read or seen Game of Thrones, this book would stand on its own.
But we all know that he can write. That's not what I want to discuss in this review. Rather, I want to talk about the most important character in the whole book. The Mississippi. Some authors use location in the background as a superfluous anchor to give perspective, while others use it as a full blown character with a life and personality of its own. When done properly, it's magic!
Some reviewers have likened this book to Mark Twain's treatment of the Mississippi, but I would disagree somewhat. Mark Twain was undoubtably a fantastic writer, and an all around interesting guy. But he was writing about a place and time he had seen. He grew up on the river and new all of its secrets. GRRM grew up near the ocean, and now lives in the southwest, far, far away from that beautiful scary river. In addition, he wrote about a time that none of us can remember. That, to me, is what makes this book something all together different than Mark Twain's Mississippi. The ability to make the river come alive, to speak of it as if you were there, as if it were important to you, when it is so far away from your own reality...now that's amazing.
I have written about the Mississippi as a literary character before in my review of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Most people who read that book did not see the glaring flaws that I did because they don't have a point of reference. I grew up on the Mississippi, with a tributary running through my backyard. The river is life, and sometimes death, to the people who live close to it. And its history is everywhere. The shores are dotted with vacant, decaying towns that disappeared along with all the steamboats. Most of the people who still live along its banks are there because their ancestors came from somewhere else on a steamboat, got off in a remote place and decided to make a go of it.
Perhaps this book hit home for me a little more because I recognized nearly every place that was mentioned in it. In fact, he wrote about my hometown twice, and made it sound lovely. I wish I could have seen it back then, before Big Gulps, double cheeseburger and Wal-Mart.
"Cape Girardeau was a haughty town perched up on it's bluffs..."
Also, Ron Donachie did a pretty good job getting though the place names. He almost got them right. They do a weird thing with vowel sounds and syllable emphasis there that's confusing to most people. (Example: Cairo = Kaaay-ro, New Madrid = New Maaad-rid)
"Pretty bad, but not the worst I've ever read"
I'm afraid this review might go a bit negative, so I want to begin by saying, I didn't hate it. That being said, there are many glaring flaws that are difficult to overlook.
First, I imagine writing about the past is bothersome and time consuming. You would have to know what technologies were available in different years. This book covers over 100 years, but the author made the past and present sound the same. It was particularly obvious in the parts about the journal. A personal journal written 100 years ago is going to sound much more formal than one written today. But these had a more conversational tone, as is found in modern writing.
The characters are inconsistent and confusing. Other reviewers (on Amazon) have described them as cardboard cut-outs. They do not progress or grow in any way throughout the book. And the love story...ugh. It was as if he just threw that in there because he felt like that's what people expect.
I realize that it's already a rather long book, but I feel that the author could have taken a little more time with developing the plot and characters. People will stick to a long book if it's good.
There were also parts that were clearly taken straight out of Wikipedia. Just cut and paste. Not even reworded. (Explanation of Toba Catastrophe, for example.)
This book felt like someone trying to tell you about a really good dream they had. "I found myself in this building I'd never been in. There were people there that I didn't know. They asked me to follow them. I did, but I don't remember why. Then I was flying over the Grand Canyon because I needed to go rescue my Grandma from the alligator people." Yep. That's almost exactly what this book was like.
On a more positive note, I really do admire this guy for following his dream of being a writer, and self-publishing his books.
The ideas in the book could have been interesting if the writing hadn't been so amateurish. I'm giving the book three stars because, in the end, I was mildly entertained. And I hate giving one star when you can clearly tell that the author has risked everything to follow a dream.
"Fan-fiction noob"
I wouldn't say I'm new to ACD and SH. I read several of his stories when I was a teenager, during a brief mystery/detective phase. But I am new to Sherlock fan-fiction.
I recently stumbled upon the PBS series Sherlock, and fell in love. (No. Not with Benedict Cumberbatch. Although he does a fantastic job. It's the overall mood I love.) I decided that I needed to know more in order to understand some of the underlying themes. So I read the entire collection. (The Audible version is fantastic!)
There are many great things about Sherlock Holmes, but I believe one of the best things is the scattered and open ended way it was written. ACD left a wide open space for future generations to continue the story. So it makes sense that so many people have taken up the tale.
The stories in this anthology fall all over the spectrum, from very good to bleh. But even the ones I didn't like still have some redeeming aspects. For instance, there are three stories that are narrated by neither Watson nor Holmes. And one of them doesn't have either of them in it. I thought that was particularly clever, even though I didn't care for the story.
The first essay at the end was a little irritating at the start , but I think the message of it was better than the author articulated. I believe we can deduce that no one is truly just one thing. We are all complicated and often contradictory. It did, however, raise some interesting questions about Mary Marston's role in the story.
This was an enjoyable journey into the land of SH fan-fiction. I can't get enough of Sherlock Holmes, so I'm certain it won't be my last.
"I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars"
This is my first Neil Gaiman book. I've avoided him because, like Stephen King, he's a little to dark for me. But I'm out to try new things, and Mr. Gaiman was first on my list.
This book was weird and dark at times, but also fanciful and full of history. I love that the Egyptian Gods of the Underworld are undertakers living in Cairo, Illinois. In fact, that was my second favorite part. It was quite impressive for a few reason. First, Cairo is the most amazing, and scariest place I've ever been. Then, while listening to the book, I kept thinking, Neil Gaiman actually went to Cairo, Illinois while researching places in the U.S. That's impressive because Cairo is like a war zone. Half, or more, of the buildings along the main streets are boarded up and/or falling down, and the side streets look as if they are completely abandoned. And yet, he described it with grace and dignity, the way I've always thought of it.
My most favorite part of the book was the little diatribe delivered by girl Sam. ("I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.") I feel that it perfectly describes humanity. We are all a bundle of contradictions, but we still muddle through somehow, even though we're all pulling ourselves in so many different directions. To me, it proves that there's no black and white, no right and wrong.
I'm very interested in ancient Gods. They are the forbearers of all modern beliefs. I love the way he gave them all unique and modern personalities. And I love the tiny ball song that Anansi sings!
Also, the narrators are amazing. It was like listening to a play.
I very much enjoyed this book. I'm glad I gave Neil Gaiman a chance.
"Extinguishing the light at the heart of the world"
For anyone who has read my other reviews on Audible, it will come as no surprise when I open this review by saying that I love art. I keep reading fiction about art, hoping that I will come across something lovely, but am usually stuck with a big steaming turd. Not so with this book. It's like 32 hours of Catcher In The Rye with an art twist.
Since it's a very long book, let me break it down a little, starting at the beginning.
The first part, where he talks about his relationship with his mother, is beautiful. I'm the single mother of a little boy (now not so little) and our relationship is very much like the one in the book. It made me a little teary eyed, and I can only hope that my own son thinks of me with such loving tenderness, even though I drag him to all sorts of boring museums that I'm sure he would rather not go to.
After she dies and Theo's future is uncertain, it does get a bit uncomfortable to listen to. But that's what great books do. They make you feel, even if that feeling is unpleasant at times.
Later on, when he's back in NY, he does some rather shady things. I completely understood why he did what he did, how he felt about it and how he coped with his situation. Not only does he have untreated PTSD, but he's also self-medicating. That combination will produce sad outcomes every time.
After he is reunited with a long lost friend, we hear about his past from a different voice and realize what an unreliable narrator we have been listing to up to that point, and it brings into question everything we think we know about Theo and everything else.
The situation with the art is well done. It didn't feel like she was stretching to tell the story. The art work fit into the plot quite well. I loved listening to the characters speak so lovingly of art and antiques. And also being made to understand how owning an illegal/stolen piece of art would be an unbelievable burden and not a great adventure. (It puts me in mind of The Pearl.)
The end is a bit wordy. I still felt like Theo was an unreliable narrator, but maybe a bit less so after unburdening himself of some of his worries.
All in all, I really enjoyed this book.
"I almost let the reviews keep me from a good book"
I don't buy into trends or hype. I don't want to read a book that everyone loved, because honestly, everyone's tastes aren't the same as mine. I like books that challenge, that awe and astound, that push me to think in a way I haven't before. I won't read a book just because it won an award.
That being said, after reading the synopsis of this book, I decided to read it anyway. It sounded new and different. But I was disheartened by all of the negative reviews. Again, I decided to read it anyway. And I'm glad I did.
The characters are rich and well developed. And although there are a lot of them, it's not difficult to keep them all straight because of their individuality.
Something that everyone is talking about is the astrological formula Ms. Catton used. While I agree that it does sound like a creative writing class prompt, I do not consider that a bad thing. What does it matter how you get there? It only matters that what you have when you get there is something you're proud of, and, hopefully, something that people want to read. I think she has been successful on both counts. To me, the astrological aspect didn't matter a great deal over all. That is to say, it neither added nor subtracted from the story.
I'm happy with the time I spent listening to this book. It allowed me to look at a time and place I generally would have to reason to consider.
"I didn't like it...or did I?"
I have listened to several lectures in this series and loved every one. Not so much this one, though. I keep rereading the title to see if it might give me some indication where I went wrong. But, no. That's no help.
Going into the lecture, I was expecting Professor Novella to instruct us on ways to use the scientific method to think about things in a critical way. That's not what this lecture is about at all. Instead, it is about how to think critically about science.
In the first two or three sessions he does touch on some practical uses of critical thinking, and then again in the final session. The rest of the time he spends talking about scientists who have made mistakes and people who believe in kooky ideas, like cult teachings.
I initially chose this lecture over, say, Important Pharaohs of Egypt, because of something I recently heard on the news. The White House held a press conference to let people know that the government healthcare website was safe and had not been hacked. Normally I don't pay much attention to White House press conferences, but this one struck me because there was no news report before hand to indicate that the website was unsafe. This, therefore, led me to think that this was the result of a logical fallacy. Someone was poisoning the well. Someone who is opposed to government healthcare started a rumor, and people who weren't using their critical thinking skills spread it around, thus causing the White House to address a problem that did not exist.
Because of this, I wanted to know more about how our brains work, and why people let themselves get carried away by things they haven't fully thought through. Not about the drudgery of scientific proof.
There is one thing about this lecture that I did like, however. While I was sitting there listening, trying very hard to learn something new, I realized that my level of critical thinking is above normal. Learning by not learning. Hmm...
I'm not saying this is a bad lecture. It will be very interesting to someone who has never heard this information before. It's very important to learn how to call BS when it needs to be called. But I didn't find this lecture helpful. Perhaps I am just to skeptical about everything already.
"Why? How? What?"
I saw Simon Sinek's TED talk two weeks before I started my own business. It greatly influenced the way I thought about my business strategy and how I worded my intent on my website. A few weeks after I had started my business, I saw his book on sale on Audible. Great timing! This book is an extended version of his TED talk.
So far, I have had great success by using his strategy of starting with why. Of course, I've done other things to ensure my companies success, but I always ask myself why I'm making the choices I make. By doing this, it helps keep my on track and focused on my original goals.
This book isn't just about how to be successful in business. It's also I good way to analyze yourself in daily life by keeping in mind why you are doing things and behaving in certain ways. There are a couple parts I keep coming back to. The biggest one is, how we make decisions. I am the sort that makes quick decisions and is usually happy with those choices, even if I find out later that I could have saved money if I had done a little more research. My husband is the kind of person that over-researches every decision and is more dissatisfied because he feels he could have saved even more money if he had taken even longer to research. This used to infuriate me, but now I understand that it is just the difference in the way our minds work.
Like all self-help books, this book will not solve all your problems. But it is informative and insightful. I would recommend it to everyone. Simon Sinek is also a very good narrator and easy to listen to.
"The bits about art are good..the other stuff..meh"
Everyone comes into books from different places and at different points in their lives. If I had read this in my early twenties, I would have loved it. That was before I had gone to see the Impressionist's work in its birthplace, before I had taken 3 art history classes, and before I had found my own voice as an artist.
Art history is a fairly dry subject, only interesting to those who truly love art. Therefore, it stands to reason that it's difficult to write a really good art history book, fictitious or not. I know that most real art lovers hate The Da Vinci Code. But you must admit, it had some real entertainment value, even if it was mostly ridiculous. This book didn't even come close to being as thought provoking, or as enjoyable as The DVC. The storyline was formulaic and predictable, the characters were underdeveloped, and the imagined history was silly.
***This part might contain spoilers. You should stop reading here if you don't want to know some specific details.***
The main character, Claire, was a sniveling little brat. Most artists are neurotic, egotistical and self deprecating. Not tattle-telling, whiny nitwits. Her famous artist boyfriend makes a name for himself by passing off her painting as his own, which she encouraged, by the way. Then, when he breaks up with her to go back to his wife, she rats him out. She acts all noble, saying that she just wants the truth to come out. I call BS. If you're going to be spiteful about something, don't make it worse by lying about it. Hold your head high while ruining someone's life and career. At least then you're not a liar and a jerk.
Then there's Aiden. He was her ex-boyfriend's art rep. But now he's the devil on her shoulder, and her lover. Not to say that doesn't happen in the art world. There's plenty of lasciviousness going on. But you know what everyone calls the girl that tries to ruin her ex's career, then gets a show of her very own at his former art rep's gallery, that, oh by the way, she's sleeping with now? You know the word I'm looking for. Anyway, Aiden is so silky smooth that he is an unbelievable character. He owns a successful art gallery, a large historic home decked out in priceless art, he grows his own food in his backyard, he cooks gourmet meals after working all day, and he's thoughtful and considerate. This would send up red flags for almost any woman. The first thing that comes to my mind is serial killer. But maybe I'm being a bit harsh. Maybe he's just a creep.
There are some halfhearted sex scenes thrown in there to appeal to the froo-froo sensibilities of the general female population, that don't add anything to the book. In fact, I was sort of put off by the whole thing. Claire sort of, kind of, puts off his advances, while secretly wanting to rip his clothes off. Then when she finally does give in, it's because he cooked for her, was nice to her, and after being rejected by her, stands with his hand pressed against the window watching her leave. Blech! This is the sort of thing that ruins real romance. If that's what women are told to expect, then they will be forever disappointed with the slob that is sitting on their couch all day, smelling of corn chips and playing X-Box.
Having ripped this book a new one, I suppose I can say something nice to finish off this review. The art. I get it. When I was in art school, I lived in a city with the best free museum in the country. It wasn't like I had never seen really good art before. But then I went to Europe. When I walked into those museums, it was like I had never really breathed before. Sure, somehow I was maintaining enough oxygen in my body to support life. But this was different. It was like my lungs were filled full for the first time ever. Right then and there I knew I could never live another day without the amazing beauty of man's creations surrounding me. And you can tell that the author has had a similar experience through art. She loves it. She loves it so much she just had to write a book about it. Too bad she had to pander to people who don't know what that kind of passion feels like. But a girl's gotta make a living I suppose.
I was so excited when I got the email from Audible about The Great Courses series. I love lectures and there's a lot to choose from in this collection. I was a little bit overwhelmed by the prices, though. So I decided to pick something that I love, but would like to know more about.
As an art student in college, I learned about ancient civilizations through beautiful works they created. But I've always wanted to know more. I want to know what they wore, what they talked about, what they worried about, how they lived and what they held sacred. This lecture promised to tell me all of those things. And it did.
In the first few lectures, Scott MacEachern talks about archeological theory. It's boring and interesting at the same time. It's a tedious topic, but something that I was previously unaware of. He talks about getting away from researching grand structures and, instead, looking at how commoners lived. That's very much what I wanted to know. He also stressed that we make a mistake when we compare ancient cultures to modern. They lived and thought in completely different ways than we do. I'm not sure why, but it's very hard for me to think of it in that way, as I'm sure it is for many others, including those that study such things.
There were some things that I didn't like about this lecture series, and one thing I absolutely loved. First, dislikes. Professor MacEachern is from Canada, so I expected him to say things in a "Canadian" way, and I was willing to overlook it. What bothered me about the way he spoke is that he often used words improperly and in the wrong context. (It's been awhile since I finished listening to these lectures, so I can't think of any specifics.) If you're looking up to someone as an expert, it's disappointing when they misuse grammar in such a fundamental way. Another thing that bothered me is something that has bothered me about other lectures that I've taken in the past. Namely, lack of enthusiasm. One of my art history professors in college was soooo.... boring that no one wanted to take her class. In fact, art is the thing I love most in life, and I could barely stay awake in her class. But, if you spoke to her one on one, her passion for art was clear. She lit up. I've always wondered why people who obviously love what they're talking about, and want you to love it too, can't make the subject more enjoyable. There was a point in this lecture, near the end, when Professor MacEachern got fired up. But it was too, little too late.
Now for what I did love about it. I think that experts are often too certain of themselves and what they think. They present their ideas and things that are currently known as hard, solid fact. But the truth is, facts are relative and constantly changing as we discover new and wonderful things. It's rare and refreshing to hear someone in authority say, "This is what we know right now, but it might change as we research this topic further." I really appreciated that aspect of this lecture.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this lecture series. I learned quite a few things. But, I may wait awhile to listen to another of these lectures. Even though it didn't cost as much as an actual college course, and I could listen to them in my pajamas, they are still rather expensive.
