Some interesting new 2008 releases
I figured I'd compile a couple of books which have struck my fancy in the first two months of the year which have barely been mentioned sofar ( understandably), and I suppose that in thhe whole batch there may be something for most people. I'll link to Amazon so you can see covers and maybe some reviews, otherwise search Google for some more info. The list contains Epic Fantasy, Urban Fantasy, Dark Fantasy/Horror, mainstream fiction and a Post-Apocalypse novel.
Wastelands: Stories of the Apocalypse
This is a collection of short stories where various authors have taken a shot at writing a strong post-apocalyptic tale. I've got to say this is one of the best anthologies I've seen in recent years, and it's a nice edition by Night Shade as well. The editor's site here has all the stories with some more info on them. Lots of good contributors including stories by King and GRRM.
Dragons of Babel by Michael Swanwick
The new highly acclaimed book by Swanwick, not a sequel to Iron Dragon's daughter but it seems to be set in the same world. Very interesting blend of Fantasy and technology, very high concept, massively cool cover.
" A fantasy masterpiece from a five-time Hugo Award winner! A war-dragon of Babel crashes in the idyllic fields of a post-industrialized Faerie and, dragging himself into the nearest village, declares himself king and makes young Will his lieutenant.Nightly, he crawls inside the young fey's brain to get a measure of what his subjects think. Forced out of his village, Will travels with female centaur soldiers, witnesses the violent clash of giants, and acquires a surrogate daughter, Esme, who has no knowledge of the past and may be immortal. Evacuated to the Tower of Babel -- infinitely high, infinitely vulgar, very much like New York City -- Will meets the confidence trickster Nat Whilk. Inside the Dread Tower, Will becomes a hero to the homeless living in the tunnels under the city, rises as an underling to a politician, and meets his one true love-a high-elven woman he dare not aspire to.You've heard of hard SF: This is hard fantasy from a master of the form. "
My understanding is that it is Swanwick's take on the typical Fantasy quest, with his trademark twist. Pleasant writing style. Advance reviews have been (extremely) positive.
There's even a special blog for the book by the author:
The Devil's Footprints by John Burnside
This is a mainstream novel for the most part, and short at 240 pages. It's imagery intrigued me, possibly because Burnside is also a poet.
"Michael Gardiner has lived in Coldhaven all his life yet still feels like an outsider. Married but rather distant from his wife, he reads in the local paper that a school friend, Moira Birnie, has killed herself and her two sons by setting their car on fire; but she has spared her 14-year-old daughter Hazel. Michael uneasily recalls his past connections to Moira. As teenagers, Michael and Moira had a brief romance, yet more troubling to Michael is the fact that he was responsible for the death of Moira's brother, the town bully. In the wake of the tragedy, Michael becomes obsessed with Hazel, who is just old enough to be his daughter. Aware of his obsession, Hazel convinces Michael to take her away from the village and her father, an abusive and violent man.
Setting his story against the untamed Scottish landscape, John Burnside has written a chilling novel that explores the elemental forces of everyday life: love, fear, grief, and the hope of redemption. In its ability to evoke and exploit our most primal fears, The Devil's Footprints prompts comparisons to the best of Stephen King. In both language and imagery, it is a novel of mysterious beauty, written with the clarity and power of a folktale."
This site has an excerpt:
Immortal by Traci Slatton
This is a brand new historical Fantasy set in the time of the Italian Renaissance from a debut novelist that Bantam is bringing out. It's only been out for a short while but has received a lot of acclaim and I must say it looks very good. This guy goes through some serious tragedy. Quite a hefty volume at 520 pages as well.
" an age of wonderous beauty and terrible secrets,
one man searches for his destiny...
In the majestic heart of Florence, a beautiful golden-haired boy is abandoned and subjected to cruelty beyond words. But Luca Bastardo is anything but an ordinary boy. Across two centuries of passion and intrigue, Luca will discover an astonishing gift—one that will lead him to embrace the ancient mysteries of alchemy and healing and to become a trusted confidant to the powerful Medicis…even as he faces persecution from a sadistic cabal determined to wrest his secrets for themselves.
But as the Black Death and the Inquisition wreak havoc on his beloved city, Luca's survival lies in the quest to solve two riddles. One is the enigma of his parents and his ageless beauty. The other is a choice between immortality and the only chance to find his one true love. As Luca journeys through the heights of the Renaissance, befriends Giotto and Leonardo Da Vinci—140 years apart—and pursues the most closely guarded secrets of religious faith and science for the answers to his own burning questions, his remarkable search will not only change him…but will change the course of history"
Sharp Teeth by Toby Barlow
Interesting verse novel urban Fantasy that should appeal to fans of say Butcher, Huston, Harrison etc. Don't be scared off by the verse part, it is very readable and actually it reads more like short normal prose sentences. If you want to try some of it.
An ancient race of lycanthropes has survived to the present day, and its numbers are growing as the initiated convince L.A.'s down and out to join their pack. Paying no heed to moons, full or otherwise, they change from human to canine at will—and they're bent on domination at any cost.
Caught in the middle are Anthony, a kind-hearted, besotted dogcatcher, and the girl he loves, a female werewolf who has abandoned her pack. Anthony has no idea that she's more than she seems, and she wants to keep it that way. But her efforts to protect her secret lead to murderous results.
Blending dark humor and epic themes with card-playing dogs, crystal meth labs, surfing, and carne asada tacos, Sharp Teeth captures the pace and feel of a graphic novel while remaining "as ambitious as any literary novel, because underneath all that fur, it's about identity, community, love, death, and all the things we want our books to be about" [Nick Hornby, The Believer].

The Condemned by David Bell
A post-apocalypse novel that fans of The Road and World War Z might enjoy. Pretty short as well.
The world is at war.the city is dying.and those left for dead within its walls have awakened. A terrorist attack on the water supply has left the city quarantined by the army and inhabited by the City People, the mindless living dead who rule the urban night. Plagued by nightmares and wracked with guilt for having left his best friend behind, Jett returns to work, hoping to provide for his family. But his new partner, a wounded veteran known only as The Kid, won't let Jett forget that his best friend might not be entirely dead. As their city raids grow bloodier, Jett finds himself increasingly under the mysterious influence of his new partner. And just as his murderous rage for the City People grows nearly out of control, he realizes things may not be exactly as they appear. The night, and those who control it-the City People-hold many secrets. Secrets that might just set Jett free.or destroy him and everything he holds dear.

The Somnambulist by Jonathan Barnes
Just released in the US, was released a year ago by Gollancz in the UK, a Fantasy Victoriana. Dozens of reviews for this one on the net.
Be warned. This book has no literary merit whatsoever. Needless to say, I doubt you'll believe a word of it.
Once the toast of good society in Victoria's England, the extraordinary conjurer Edward Moon no longer commands the respect or inspires the awe that he did in earlier times. Despite having previously unraveled more than sixty perplexing criminal puzzles (to the delight of a grateful London constabulary), he is considered something of an embarrassment these days. Still, each night without fail, he returns to the stage of his theatre to amaze his devoted, albeit dwindling audience with the same old astonishments—aided by his partner, the silent, hairless, hulking, surprisingly placid giant who, when stabbed, does not bleed . . . and who goes by but one appellation:
The Somnambulist
On a night of roiling mists and long shadows, in a corner of the city where only the most foolhardy will deign to tread, a rather disreputable actor meets his end in a most bizarre and terrible fashion. Baffled, the police turn once again in the direction of Edward Moon—who will always welcome such assignments as an escape from ennui. And, in fact, he leads the officers to a murderer rather quickly. Perhaps too quickly. For these are strange, strange times in England, with the strangest of sorts prowling London's dank underbelly: sinister circus performers, freakishly deformed prostitutes, sadistic grown killers in schoolboy attire, a human fly, a man who lives backwards. And nothing is precisely as it seems.
The UK sees a sequel coming out this month, called The Domino Men.
Whitechapel Gods by S.M. Peters
A Steampunk debut about which I do not know much other than that I saw it and liked the idea.
A thrilling new Steampunk fantasy from a talented debut author
In Victorian London, the Whitechapel section is a mechanized, steam-driven hell, cut off and ruled by two mysterious, mechanical gods-Mama Engine and Grandfather Clock. Some years have passed since the Great Uprising, when humans rose up to fight against the machines, but a few brave veterans of the Uprising have formed their own Resistance-and are gathering for another attack. For now they have a secret weapon that may finally free them-or kill them all...

Dark Hollow by Brian Keene
By all accounts horror writer Keene's best novel yet can be labelled a Dark Fantasy as well.
Spring has come with a vengeance to LeHorn's Hollow, Pennsylvania. While walking his dog, mystery author Adam Senft stumbles upon an enigma of his own, when he encounters his pretty neighbor engaged in a lewd act with something that is not human. Soon enough, he discovers that evil surrounds the entire town. The woods themselves are behaving strangely, the sound of pipes is on the air, women are going missing, and some supernatural force is drawing upon the not-so repressed desires of the townspeople, threatening to transform LeHorn's Hollow into something of a hell on earth. Only Adam and his neighbors seem to have an inkling of what is going on around them, and it falls upon their shoulders to try and make things right.
Cover, extract and reviews here:
Finally, Seekers of the Chalice by Brian Cullen, an epic Fantasy very much based on Celtic myth that I bought right away because I'm a big fan of Celtic Legends and this seems very cool. Of course it could be disappointing, I have not read it yet, and people less taken with Celtic mythology may not find it as intriguing. It is for me, but he could have been a bit more inventive with his naming of the chief antagonist
In the time when gods and men walked the earth along with demons, the Chalice of Fire, the symbol of peace for Ulster, is stolen from the Red Branch by Bricriu Poisontongue. A small band of Seekers sets out to recover and return the Chalice to the Red Branch to restore peace to the Ulster kingdom.The Seekers are a group of two elves, Bern and Lorges; Cumac, the son of Cucullen, the greatest Red Branch warrior; Fedelm of the Sidhe; Tarin, the Swordwanderer; and the wizard-druid, Seanchan. Together they must make their way through the world brought as Maliman, the evil wizard, uses his powers to stop them as he seeks the Chalice himself to bend its magic to his will.The Seekers battle their way through the creatures of darkness that threaten to conquer the world.But they are determined to bring light back from darkness and restore the land that has fallen into ruin and decay with the theft of the Chalice

Cheers Mithfânion, thanks for this compilation. 'The Somnambulist' especially appealed to me.
I have a problem though. It's the blurb. Or more precisely, the fact I am not able to ignore it. It is entirely possible I would thoroughly enjoy 'Dragons of Babel'. But drivvle like "A fantasy masterpiece from a five-time Hugo Award winner [..] This is hard fantasy from a master of the form" or in 'The Devil's Footprint' case: "Setting his story against the untamed Scottish landscape, John Burnside has written a chilling novel yadibla etcetera" makes me go Pffffff.....and very much NOT wanting to read these books. And that annoys me, because perhaps they are terrific reads - despite the crap on the cover (both front and back...). So, entirely aware this is MY problem - but sharing always helps

Immortal by T. Slatton is a pretty good book. There was an author signing at a Borders I was visiting last weekend and the book was all over the place so I picked it up and I liked the style so I got it. I've read about 200 pages in (I am reading several more books simultaneously) and until now I can say it's a pretty dark book, lots of fantastical elements and worth reading.
Another good mainstream with fantastical elements that it's a 2008 debut is Monsters of Templeton by L. Groff; this one is funny and wistful but very engaging.
I am waiting for the release of Domino Men the (sort of) sequel to The Somnambulist and I expect to enjoy that one as much as the first one.
One more 08 release that I would mention is Serious Things by G. Norminton, UK only and mainstream literary but I like a lot Mr. Norminton's style.
February 8th, 2008, 11:05 AM #5
Thanks so much for taking the time to do this! I've bought Immortal and am seriously considering the Burnside book.
You've done all my work for me!
February 8th, 2008, 12:27 PM #6
Well that's the idea behind the post AP.
I'll go one further and link you to the excerpt of Burnside's book, that should help you decide.
I like the look of that Normington book.

Thumbs up!
Thanks Mithfânion for taking the time to do this. This will help me heaps in keeping updated!

I really loved books 2 and 3 of Mr. Norminton (Arts and Wonders and Ghost Portrait, and I intend to read his Ship of Fools too at some point) so when Serious Things was announced I checked the excerpt and ordered it on publication.
The Burnside book looks interesting too so it went on my hold list at the library.
February 8th, 2008, 09:04 PM #9
Burnside is a fine and interesting poet. I'll be following this one up too.
February 9th, 2008, 03:43 AM #10
See? And then they dare say we Fantasy fans aren't "literate". Hah!
February 9th, 2008, 03:54 AM #11
Thanks a bunch for this list, Mith. You're a sweetheart. I've found 3 new things I want to read.
February 9th, 2008, 05:21 AM #12
'Sharp Teeth' was actually released in the UK and Ireland in the middle of last year (August, I think), so if anyone is looking for it they can get it form amazon.co.uk quite cheaply. It's published in an unsual cross between trade and hardback format.
When you look at the blurb on the back it does seem like Anita Blake territory, but browsing through it obviously it's something of an oddity, a sort of beat / epic poem.

An upcoming water and sewer rate study for the City of Bishop is expected to provide rate equity for residential and business customers and help establish rates for the next eight years.
The city has hired a consultant to conduct a 2013 Water and Sewer Rate Review for the City of Bishop. One goal of the study is to ensure "rate equity," so that billing rates in all customer, or user, categories are fair, said Public Works Director David Grah. The second goal is to establish rates which will adequately maintain the water and sewer system. It is anticipated that the study, which should begin in the next month or so, he added, will be completed by the end of 2013 in time for the 2014-15 fiscal year.
Since the study will "include the review of user categories and since this review of categories is expected to be complex," it will be conducted by the consulting firm of Willdan Financial Services, out of Temecula, explained Grah.
Consumers' main complaint is that the rates aren't fair, that they were charged too much compared to the rates others pay, Grah explained. "Of course, fairness has been important," he said, "and with this study, the city is looking into ways to improve the billing rate system; therefore some may go up and some may go down" as a result of the study.
"To avoid large rate adjustments and for financial stability, it is important that water and sewer fees be reviewed periodically," Grah explained.
"When the 2004 rate study was done," because of the long time between reviews, "the rate adjustments suggested by that 2004 study were large and were unpopular with many customers," said Grah. Putting it into perspective, however, Grah explained that the 2004 suggested rate increases turned out to be considerably higher than the rates that were actually implemented at that time.
To prevent large adjustments in the future, when the City Council adopted the 2004 rates, it also required a 2008 rate review to establish 2010-11 through 2013-14 fiscal year rates, as well as the current 2013 rate review to "suggest rates for the 2014-15 through 2019-20 fiscal years," Grah said.
Willdan will conduct the review using "recognized techniques," said Grah. Since the rate study is "mostly a financial calculation, Willdan will help with public meetings and notices but will not be surveying the public." The consultants will, however, investigate the cost of maintaining the city's water and sewer system; determine what that cost should be; and examine statewide information to determine local rates, said Grah.
From that, Willdan will determine future rates appropriate to cover the expenses of maintaining the city's water and sewer system on an ongoing basis.
"The study should be complete in mid-2013 with the remainder of the time spent refining the study and going through the related hearing and implementation process," said Grah. In other words, once Willdan completes its study, the results will be submitted to the Water and Sewer Commission, which will respond. Public Works will also make revisions. The review goes back to Willdan for any needed modifications. Finally, commission-approved findings will result in a rate recommendation which the commission will make to the City Council.
The City Council may then make any changes it deems appropriate. Next, per Proposition 218, rate-change notices will go out to customers.
At the end of a 45-day period, and before the new rates are set, the City Council will hold a public hearing on the proposed rates (in late 2013). Public input is encouraged. If any adjustments are identified in the study, said Grah, they should be implemented about July 2014.
Not only will this study recommend adjustments to the current single-family residential base rates, but also "review factors used to apply base rates to other customer categories," said Grah. "In fact, since rate equity is one of the most major topics of the Water and Sewer Commission discussion, the review of rate factors is the primary focus of the 2013 rate study.
"More specifically, equity would be addressed by adjusting the Equivalent Dwelling Unit factors used in our various user billing categories as well as reviewing and refining the current 22 categories. New EDU factors would be developed in part with water meter information that is now available from all current use categories."
All rates are calculated using the EDU factors. EDU factors are based on the rate that a single family unit pays and the remaining 22 categories are based on that rate. Under the current water and sewer rate structure, the rate schools are charged, for example, is based on the number of students. The rate per student is .04 of the single family residence EDU. Consequently, if a school has 500 students, it is billed at 20 EDU, or the equivalent of 20 single family residences.
Multi-family residences pay .80 EDU per unit. Bars and restaurants pay by the seat, gas stations pay by the aisle, laundromats by the washer and car washes by the stall. Other categories include churches, hospitals and convalescent homes and meeting halls.
Willdan was chosen by a panel of Water and Sewer Commission, city and Eastern Sierra Community Services District staff members, taking the bid at $29,885. That cost will be split evenly between the Water and Sewer Departments.
It is important that rates are as low as possible for customers, said Grah, and the city needs enough funds "to maintain the $40 million investment that customers have made over the years in the water and sewer system."
Public Works Superintendent Deston Dishion said $40 million may seem like a lot, but it isn't. To put the sum into perspective Dishion reeled off an abridged list.
• The city maintains three active wells: No. 1, in the police department parking lot; No. 2, on Sierra Street in the lot across from Inyo-Mono Title Company; and No. 4, the main well, at West Line and McClaren streets. A fourth, undeveloped well (No. 3) for which the city owns water rights, is on Sunland Road.
• There is a one-million gallon water source tank, located a bit west of Manor Market, that came with a ticket price of about $1 per gallon.
• SCADA, the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition computer, was a $150,000 investment. It is the brains of each well, controlling the well and "when we produce the water," explained Dishion.
• There are about 23 miles of pipe disbursing water throughout Bishop. An eight-inch length of water pipe costs the city approximately $100 by the time it is completely installed underground. A large portion of that $40 million lies unseen underground.
• A $100,000 portable generator is at the ready in the event of a major power outage, said Dishion.

text: The familiar purview of design as it relates to the built environment is the making of space in a material and experiential sense. This shaping of physical urban form is the accumulated product of a range of disciplinary capacities and expertise – architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, engineering, fine arts and communication design among many others. Professional capacity, in this context, is most often deployed in response to the explicit demands or implicit desires of a client or program, characterizing design primarily as a responsive, service-based method.

I don't post often but i can't take watching them anymore. Lucious is so careless with the ball especially for a 5 th year senior. Drives me nuts
Clyburn always has that I don't care look on his face. He also shoots 3s with ppl in his face. And drives to the hoop thinking he can jump through or over everyone which he can't
McGee needs more minutes
In before close
Clyburn has 8 rebounds tonight, derp.
I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints, so I said to the Lord,
You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. During the most trying periods of my life there has only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, have you not been there for me?
Because, says the Lord, Sandpeople always ride single-file, to hide their numbers.

Do you? Your name is deadbeat.....I'd try to payback the money you owe....
This thread is bad and you should feel bad. At a minimum.

I agree with the OP, idk how you can't. KL plays about 1 defensive possession every 5 tries and so does WC. I will be ecstatic when this senior class, other than McGee and Babb, are gone. ISU cheers for effort, these two do not deserve to be cheered other than the 5 times they play defense in a game. If you are going to be lazy and not give it your all then go sit on the bench and put in the walk-ons. Idc if starters have more talent if they are not trying. This was the worst performance I have ever seen out of an ISU bball team and it is a complete shame.

Hi everyone. I've just joined too.
Can't wait to crack open my Phatty and get it hacked.
*walks though, looking for OLD stuff* Hi all, I'm being honest here.. I don't have, nor do I want a PS3.. I'm rocking an old school v1 "fattie" PS2 and.. late to the game, I want it modded! this system still works fine, same as the day I bought it, all the ports, and all the hardware. so.. I want MC hacks for it.. it's a "virgin" no chip, no previous hacks.. but runs like a dream.

Jury indicts Lee man shot by police: 16 counts lodged against Steven Amazeen
Wednesday, March 20, 2013
DOVER — A man who was shot twice in December after he allegedly waved a gun at police outside his home in Lee and made threatening remarks has been indicted on 16 criminal charges.
Amazeen was indicted on charges of reckless conduct and criminal threatening by a Strafford County grand jury on Thursday, March 14. The indictments, which were made public Tuesday, provide some new information about the incident.
Amazeen also faces numerous reckless conduct charges. Police claim Amazeen "placed, or may have placed" the seven officers at the scene in danger of death or serious bodily injury through his actions.
The attorney general's office, the county attorney and local police have all declined numerous requests for further details about the incident during the past 15 weeks.

Topology optimization
A demonstration of topology optimization using the Structural Mechanics Module and the Optimization Module. Three classical models are shown, the loaded knee, the Michell truss structure, and MBB beam. The optimization method is based on using the SIMPS approach to recast the original combinatorial optimization problem into a continuous optimization problem.
Curve fitting material model data to experimental data
This presentation shows how to use the Optimization Module to fit a material model curve to experimental data. It is based on the hyperelastic Mooney-Rivlin material model example given in the Structural Mechanics users guide.
Tuning Fork: Computing the Eigenfrequency and Eigenmode
This model simulates a tuning fork for tuning musical instruments which, if correctly designed, should sound the note of A, 440 Hz. It computes the fundamental eigenfrequency and eigenmode for the tuning fork. Although the example seems to be somewhat academic in nature, the eigenfrequencies and eigenmodes of microscopic tuning forks are also used in quartz watches and other electronic devices.
Transient Optimization: Fitting Material Properties of a Wall
This model demonstrates transient optimization through the least squares solver. The model consists of a wall in 1D. The outer temperature varies over 24 hours and during this time, the inner temperature on the wall has been measured. This measured data is then used to fit the material properties (thermal conductivity and heat capacity at constant pressure) of the wall material.
Optimizing a Flywheel Profile
The radial stress component in an axially symmetric and homogeneous flywheel of constant thickness exhibits a sharp peak near the inner radius. From there, it decreases monotonously until it reaches zero at the flywheel's outer rim. The uneven stress distribution reveals a design that does not make optimal use of the material available. Given specified flywheel mass and moment of inertia, ...
Minimizing the Flow Velocity in a Microchannel
Topology optimization of the Navier-Stokes equations is encountered in different branches and applications, such as in the design of ventilation systems for cars. A common technique applicable to such problems is to let the distribution of porous material vary continuously. In this model, the objective is to find the optimal distribution of a porous material in a microchannel such that the ...
Topology Optimization of a Loaded Knee Structure
Imagine that you are designing a light-weight mountain bike frame that should fit in a box of a certain size and should weigh no more than 8 kg. Given that you know the loads on the bike, you can achieve this by distributing the available material while making sure that the stiffness of the frame is at a maximum. This way you have formulated the topology optimization of the frame as a material ...
Spinning Gear
One way to fasten a gear to a shaft is by thermal interference. In preparation of the assembly, the shaft diameter is oversized and the gear thermally expanded in a heat-treating oven. At an appropriate expansion state, the gear is removed from the oven, slid onto the shaft, and allowed to cool. As the gear temperature drops, the gear shrinks and comes into contact with the shaft before it ...
Optimizing a Thermal Process
A thermal processing scenario is modeled whereby two heaters raise the temperature of a gas flowing through a channel. The Optimization Module is used to find the heater power to maximize the outflow temperature, while maintaining a constraint on the peak temperature at the heaters themselves.

When I was younger I built like one gundam model kit but my real passion however was zoids. I built my first one when I was about 11/12 I believe I might have even been 13 and I stopped when I was like 15 because they were generally taking too much time and I outgrew them. Now I'm missing them like crazy, this thread invokes all sorts of nostalgia within me.

About the Book
A remote and affluent Maine community, Corpus Christi was untouched by the environmental catastrophe that destroyed the neighboring blue-collar town of Bedford. But all that will change in a heartbeat . . .
The nightmare is awakened when third-grade schoolteacher Lois Larkin takes the children on a field trip to Bedford. There in the abandoned woods, a small, cruel boy unearths an ancient horror—a contagious plague that transforms its victims into something violent, hungry . . . and inhuman.
The long, dark night is just beginning. And all hope must die as the contagion feeds—for the malevolence will not rest until it has devoured every living soul in Corpus Christi . . . and beyond.

These plates come in Black only
Ivanko Cast Iron Machined Painted Calibrated (Powerlifting) Olympic Plates - The only I.P.F. approved plate in the Western Hemisphere. The CBP and CBPP series powerlifting discs are specifically designed for powerlifting competitions where the rules mandate the use of extremely accurate kilogram, color coded discs. CBP and CBPP series discs are made "wafer" thin to increase the plate loading capacity of the competition barbell. Since, it is not unusual for best athletes to exceed 400 kilograms in a particular lift during competition or training, it is imperative that there is enough space on the bar sleeve to accommodate as many discs as possible including the collars! These are the same series of plates used previously at the I.P.F. World Championships.
Caution - These Ivanko plates may only be compatible with an Ivanko bar. The hole size of an Ivanko Olympic plate is 50.2mm (1.976 inches) minimum to 50.8mm (2.00 inches) maximum. This diameter may be too tight for other bars. To avoid returns, if you are unsure of the compatibility of these plates with your bar please contact an Ironcompany sales rep before you buy.

Mac has good showing at McNary and Cascade
The McMinnville wrestling team won a big dual meet Thursday, beating McNary 57-22 in Salem.
"McNary has won the last two regional titles [in] dual meets and tournaments, so it was a nice win for our guys," McMinnville coach Shawn Keinonen said.
Mac followed that up with a sixth-place finish Saturday at a tournament in Cascade.
The Grizzlies got off to a great start, winning 10 of the first 11 matches of the meet, scoring falls in six. They lead 57-4.
Aspen Nelson pinned McNary's Riley Repp in the first period at 106 pounds, and Steven Weant was awarded a forfeit at 113 pounds, giving the Grizzlies a 12-0 lead. Bryce Branson pinned Mike Mata in 1:17 at 120 to increase Mac's lead.
The Grizzlies lost their first match at 126 pounds, with Dalton Donaldson losing 13-3 to Mike Phelps. They rebounded with a 13-1 win by Manny Humlie at 132, and Jered Sublet won by technical fall at 138 pounds.
Bobby Crowston started a streak of pins for the Grizzlies at 145. Crowston pinned Jess Gomez early in the third period, and Rylan Blair (1:43), Alex Kiess (1:24) and Tiger Paasch (1:04) all easily dispatched of their opponents.
Mac's Chris Cerda (195) and Cameron Strybing (220) both lost, and the Grizzlies forfeited at 285 pounds to finish the dual meet for the final score.
At the Cascade tournament Saturday, Sublet placed first at 138, and Paasch was second at 182. Barnes was third at 152, and Weant was fourth at 113. Nelson and Crowston placed fifth at 106 and 145 respectively, Donaldson was sixth at 126, and Kiess was sixth at 170.
Keinonen said he was pleased with the way Sublet wrestled Saturday.
"Sublet wrestled great," he said. "His fundamentals are about as solid as it gets and he just efficiently wears guys down."
Paasch had a tough finals, Keinonen said, but he said it will be a good experience down the road.
"Wasn't his best effort but its early and those are great matches to have under your belt at the end of the year," Keinonen said. "Everybody competed hard and wrestled well at both McNary and Cascade."
After a good start to the season, Willamina had to overcome some adversity this week. It had to cancel its home meet and in return had to scramble to find some competition. Colton hosted the Justin Fraijo Invitational and invited the Bulldogs to compete. Because the decision to go was made at the last moment, Willamina was able to bring nine wrestlers to the tournament.
Willamina finished 24-8, here are the results:
In the 113-pound class, Jordan Combs defeated Nathan Johnson, and Combs took second place. In the 132-pound class Coty Brown went 4-0 to win first place. Edwin Villalobos pinned fellow Bulldogs teammate Keagan Davis in the 145-pound class to take first place while Davis took second.
Doug Steele finished third (3-2) in the 152-pound weight class, while Elijah Holt went 2-1 and took second in the 160-pound class.
Jacob Ward was 3-0 at 170 placed first. Tommy Cobb took first in the heavyweight class.
The Bulldogs compete Friday at the Rose City Championships at Westview in Hillsboro. Wrestling is set to begin at 2 p.m.

I am seeking any info related to my family history for these names. I would really appreciate any relevant info related to these names around the time of the early to middle 1800's or even earlier.
The couple was Battista Ricci and Teresa Ferretti who lived in the Alessandria region of Piedmont. They had at least one daughter name Luigia Ricci (1858-1934) who was married to Francesco Ferrara (1857-1929). I don't have any earlier info about them or their date of birth, marriage, death or where they actually lived.
Thank you so much for anything you can provide!

FLASHBACK: Creedence Clearwater Revival Breaks Up
Wednesday, October 16, 2013
It was 41 years ago today (October 16th, 1972) that Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) officially disbanded. CCR was one of most successful acts of the late '60s and early '70s, racking up 11 Top 20 hits in under four years.
Seeds of the band's demise came when co-founder Tom Fogerty left the previous year. Tom had been chafing artistically under the leadership of his younger brother John Fogerty, who wrote, sang, and produced the band's music, including such classics such as "Proud Mary," "Bad Moon Rising," "Who'll Stop The Rain," "Down On The Corner," "Up Around The Bend," "Born On The Bayou," and many others.
By 1972, John was unhappy with the group format, as well as his demanding contract with CCR's record label, Fantasy. CCR's drummer Doug Clifford and bassist Stu Cook say that the band's final studio album, Mardi Gras, was essentially the final nail in the band's coffin: "(Doug Clifford) The Mardi Gras album where we each did a third was an ultimatum from him. (Stu Cook) I had a conversation with him after a show at the San Diego Coliseum. (Doug Clifford) Right. . . (Stu Cook) And he said, 'Oh by the way, on this next album, you and Doug are doing a third of the writing and a third of the singing and I'm just going to play rhythm guitar on your tracks.' And I said, 'John, that's not a Creedence album, I doubt the record company will accept it, I know the fans aren't going to be happy with it,' and he says, 'Well, that's the way it is or I quit.'"
John Fogerty's relationship with the band, including with his brother, never healed after the split. John accused his former bandmates of siding with record company executives rather than trying to free him from what he saw as an unfair record contract. After releasing two solo albums, Fogerty held back a third in a contract dispute, and essentially retired for a nearly a decade until resurfacing with 1985's critically acclaimed Centerfield.
The original foursome reunited only once, when they briefly jammed at Tom Fogerty's 1980 wedding.
Tom Fogerty died of AIDS following a blood transfusion in 1990, without reconciling with John. In 1993 John barred Cook and Clifford from performing with him at CCR's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Since 1995, Cook and Clifford have toured successfully as Creedence Clearwater Revisited. Although Fogerty originally fought the pair over the use of the name, according to Cook there is a silent and uneasy truce between the group's survivors.
After years of ignoring his CCR hits in concert, over the past decade, John Fogerty has embraced his past and now includes nearly all of the band's biggest hits in his concert set lists: "I still realize that by far all around the world I am most known for the Creedence era. And those are songs that I love to play. I'm very happy at this stage in my career that people still, you know, really get a big kick out of hearing "Green River" and "Who'll Stop The Rain," and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain." It's a really cool thing (laughs). Sometimes I'm pretty much in awe of the whole situation."
Out now is the new three-CD set, Ultimate Creedence Clearwater Revival: Greatest Hits & All-Time Classics. The third disc of the 51-track collection features live versions of Creedence favorites.
John Fogerty performs on Thursday (October 17th) in Catoosa, Oklahoma at The Joint at Hard Rock Casino - Tulsa.
Creedence Clearwater Revisited -- featuring Doug Clifford and Stu Cook -- will next perform on November 21st at Youngstown, Ohio's Stambaugh Auditorium.
