'Parker' is not Jason Statham's best movie, but it may have his defining onscreen moment, a perfect, succinct summation of everything pleasurable about his onscreen persona. His character, a thief and con man named Parker, has returned to his hotel room in Palm Beach. He's surprised by an assassin; since this is a Jason Statham movie, an elaborately choreographed fight scene ensues.
The assassin's weapon of choice is a knife and after he gets Parker in a headlock, he tries really hard to get Statham's face acquainted with the finer points of his blade. The knife keeps inching closer and closer to his eyeball -- so to save himself, Parker sticks up his hand and willingly lets the assassin stab him through his palm. The sacrifice gives him just enough of breather to gain the upper hand. That is The Cinema of Jason Statham in a nutshell: action and indomitable determination. His characters are all men who'll stop at nothing to win; an echo of Statham's onscreen work ethic -- he'll stop at nothing to entertain you. Even in a vehicle as average as "Parker," Statham still delivers an intensely committed performance.

We realize what day it is, but we assure you this is quite real.
For over ten years now, Rupert Neve and Siwei Zou – the founder and CEO of sE Electronics, Inc. – have been friends and partners in design.
In 2009, sE released the RNR1 Active Ribbon, an active ribbon microphone uniquely capable of recording sound all the way up to 25kHz. This marked the first time Rupert's electronics and transformers were ever incorporated into a microphone.
In 2011, they released the RN17 Small-Diaphragm Condenser, a powerhouse of a mic with a full-scale Rupert Neve-designed output transformer that provided a fullness and personality never before heard from a pencil mic.
Both of these mics have since developed a cult following among recording engineers worldwide, and can be found in the studio and on stage with groups ranging from the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra to Queens of the Stone Age.
Now, for 2015, a third sE / Rupert Neve microphone is joining the ranks. Click here to learn more – and enter to win it.
In late 2014, the first Limited Edition Shelford 5088 Console was installed in a very remote and very beautiful studio on the coast of Norway. Now, here's an interview with three of the main people behind the studio: Ante, Henning and Terje, from Ocean Sound Recordings.
Can you please tell us a bit about your studio? When was it started, and by whom?
Ocean Sound was first established in a boathouse back in 2005 as a private studio for the Norwegian band The Margarets. They had really good analog-sounding aesthetics and bought some nice tape machines, outboard and classic microphones. Soon they attracted a lot of requests from bands that wanted to record in the boathouse. It didn't take long before the place was crammed with equipment and instruments and the idea to design a purpose-built studio was born.
What makes it such a special place?
The stunning location is 10 feet from the Atlantic Ocean, it has great equipment, good-sounding rooms and a welcoming staff. The studio is located on a small island and clients can sort of isolate themselves from the outside world and really focus on recording. Still, it is only a 10-minute drive from the airport to the studio, and from the studio to Aalesund, the nearest town. Clients can fly to Aalesund Airport directly from cities like Oslo, London and Amsterdam. The studio is located "at the end of the world" – but on the other hand, it´s really easy to get here. Clients can also work in the studio 24 hours a day and sleep in one of our eight beds.
So how did you hear about the 5088 console? What made you choose it?
Our friend, the producer Nick Terry (Co-Director of Thermionic Culture, Ltd.), rented our studio B mix room for a year and brought his 5088. We were really impressed by the build quality and sound. When the Shelford modules were released in 2013, we knew we had a real alternative for replacing the Neve VR60. And so we did.
How does the console sound, and how has it helped your work? What is your favorite thing about it?
We could go on about the details of the sound, but this is the best way we can put it: awesome!
We were really fond of our old VR60, but we have a very tight schedule in the studio with limited time for maintenance. With the 5088 being literally maintenance-free, we can spend our extra time improving other aspects of our operation. Our 5088 with the Shelford modules makes it extremely fast to get good sounds on tracking sessions and fits our control room and general vibe better. One of the first sessions it did was a recording of a live-in-studio show with the 70′s style rock band Orango. There were a LOT of microphones in action, and the 5088 made everything go very smoothly and effortlessly.
For favorite things…the texture-function is fantastic, but really the main thing is that you can forget technical details and focus on the music. And it both sounds and looks stunning!
What other equipment is in the studio?
We have four Studer tape machines, a Ampex ATR-102, two Neumann U-47′s, EMT 140 plate and loads of outboard. We have a lot of artists traveling here by plane, so we also have a good selection of instruments, a Yamaha C5 grand piano, Hammond B3, Wurlitzer, Rhodes, Yamaha CP-80, guitars and amps and heaps of drums.
Have there been any particularly exciting artists/events/happenings in the studio lately?
There's always a lot of exciting stuff going on in the studio and it is difficult to select only a few highlights. We have a varied selection of clients coming here to record. During one month we can have international acts like Travis and Arcade Fire working here alongside with local choirs and bands. All our clients are important to us and we want all to experience Ocean Sound Recording as a unique studio.
Thank you so much for doing this interview with us! Is there anything else you'd like to share?
We'd like to thank our Norwegian Rupert Neve Designs distributor Prolyd for making this happen. And of course Rupert Neve Designs for excellent service and outstanding quality products.

When a Sweetwater Sales Engineer told us that Matt had recently purchased quite a number of our 500-series modules, we got in touch and sat down with him over some Thai food in Brooklyn, NY to find out how he was using them.
On the 542 Tape Emulators:
"These 542s are actually changing the way I am able to perform in the studio as a drummer. The way they can handle transients means I can slap the rims on the toms or snare a bit more, letting the emotion sort of take over when I want, and allowing me to use my compressors for other aspects of the sound. Performance choices that sounded less good in digital recording without tape are sounding great with tape, just as they did back in the days of the Studer. Also, the warmth and growl of the instrument as a whole with tape saturation and silk gradually changes the whole aesthetic and process as things are being performed – a sort of positive psychological feedback loop via monitoring. It's enabling a real change in process and approach for me, with results that I love as well."
On the 511 Mic Preamp:
"The 511′s stepped gain, plus sweepable trim is so convenient for obvious reasons of speedy engineering and production choices in the moment without forgetting where the gain was set previously. Easy when the drummer is also the producer and the engineer at the same time. The high-pass filter works well for room noise too."
"As a vocalist, I find myself going to the 511. It responds well to my voice, and has flexibility in all the ways that I need. It's an intuitive thing, and similar to a favorite knife in the kitchen, or pair of shoes."
On the 517 Mic Pre/DI/Compressor:
"The 517′s, what can I say? These are total gold for drums. The ability to blend two signal inputs into one output is total gold for drummers wishing to, or limited to using a two channel A/D converter. Gain up mic #1 through a 511, then output it to the instrument jack on the 517. Then plug mic #2 into the back of the 517. Voila, two mics into one signal, all sculpted in the moment. Do this again, and you have [stereo] drums, but with four mics. As long as you solve the various riddles related to mic placement/phasing, you can create incredible and totally unique drum sounds that show your mix person exactly what you have in mind for the final result, minus the guess work. The idiot-proof, single bundled compressor knob is like a tension rod on the drum, turn it until it feels right. Vari-phase knob between blended signals is a savior in times of need. I love this pre."
"Basically, the options to affect the signal across multiple stages with gain, silk red or blue, tape saturation, and compression are proving essential – i.e. part of my gear as a performer, writer, and producer. I bring my lunchboxes pretty much anywhere I will be recording. It gets used at least in some way regardless of the gear that's in a studio. These boxes are a part of my drumset, as well as my own studio."
"As a musician/drummer first, engineer/producer second, a basic understanding of how to use these tools is tantamount to basic literacy within this art form as a whole. As I have gained in ability to apply these tools, I have been able to "liberate" the frustrated musician inside. This is a life changing thing. So, I really cant believe how affordable, well-made, and well-conceived Rupert Neve's products are. Though the music industry may seem total shit at times, from this perspective we are in a golden age."

Built by Bill Putnam over 40 years ago, Coast is a legendary part of the SF music scene. With the original live room untouched, the control room was outfitted with a Rupert Neve Designs 5088 console in 2012, and the studio resumed operation – and vastly expanded its business.
The business has expanded to such a degree that Michael Romanowski, the studio's owner, is often unable to book enough time himself on the board for mixing projects. The solution? He recently picked up a pair of 5059 16×2+2 summing mixers and a 5060 Centerpiece for his home mixing setup.
We sat down with Michael for a quick chat about his new gear:
"The 5088 is here, and I can't get in as often as I want to. For me, the 5059s and 5060 are a very high percentage of the 5088′s sound. Sonically, it's VERY close. Enough so that I feel confident that when I get back on the console, I already know the sounds – it makes it really quick to pull up a mix on the 5088 and say BAM, there you go. It translates back and forth really well, so it's doing exactly what I want it to do."
What other gear is in your home setup?
"I have the 5060 and two 5059′s, with the 5059′s fed by two [Universal Audio] Apollo 16′s. I have a Bricasti M7 for reverb, and I record to a Tascam DSD recorder. I'm monitoring through Focal Solo 6′s."
So how do you look at the 5060? What is it?
"How do I look at it? It's definitely a console, and it's the center section where I hear the summing exactly as I want to hear it from a console. And because it's in a rolling rack, I can also take it to mobile gigs. It's a mobile 5088, in a way."
How about mixing in the box vs. the 5060?
"Night and day. In the box is fine, as long as you're choosing a workstation that does good math – but to me, there's a difference with panning and volume and gain structure; it's handled WAY better in the analog domain. I'll take electrons over math 99% of the time."
And the other 1% of the time?
"I hand the project off to someone else [laughs]."

For No Shame, an indie electronic/pop/experimental record label based in NYC, their 5088 just wasn't enough.
It's not that it didn't do what they wanted, or that they were unhappy with the sound, or that it wasn't durable enough (a sound cloud fell on the console and nothing broke). "With only one studio, it's hard to squeeze in all the work!" says Alex Brouwer, No Shame's Head of A&R.
A few years ago, when they purchased their 32-channel 5088 from Sonic Circus, there was time enough for Alex to get into the studio by himself fairly often. But as the label has grown – now with two engineers, eight artists, and an unexpected amount of commercial project bookings – Alex was compelled to find another solution for his own work. This solution turned out to be the 5060 Centerpiece.
He wanted "something that would give the sound of the master section, the 2-buss", and since they do "a lot of hybrid mixing" and have plans for multiple rooms in the future, they wanted "something they can move anywhere and maintain the sound."
"It adds a whole new dimension to being 'on-the-go', and what your possibilities are. Right now I love New York, but so much of the industry, so many artists moved to LA…I'm tempted to do that. If I do end up leaving New York, I need to have a system that I can just pack up into a trailer."
For his home setup, Alex has tried to maintain as much of the studio's signal path as possible. With Focal monitors, much of the same outboard gear, and the same cabling in both locations, the entire path is extremely similar, but much more compact. The 5060′s monitor section (identical to that in the 5088) was crucial to this philosophy.
"The 5060 is exactly what it sets out to be: the centerpiece of my home studio. It's the mini-me to the 5088."

At the 2014 AES conference in Los Angeles, Rupert Neve Designs is proud to present a Limited Edition 5088 mixing console, built in the style of the company's 2014 TEC Award-nominated Shelford Series.
50 years ago, in a converted rectory in Little Shelford, England, Mr. Rupert Neve crafted a series of preamplifier and EQ designs that revolutionized the sound of recorded music. In 2013 in Wimberley, Texas, Rupert and his team of engineers painstakingly combined the very best of these classics with contemporary concepts and components to create the high-voltage Shelford Series of modules.
The color of these Shelford units is a nostalgic nod to the classic modules by which they were inspired, and with this limited edition 5088 loaded entirely with these vintage-modern hybrid Shelford 5051s and 5052s, the whole console now takes on that nostalgic coat of paint.
With higher headroom and a lower noise floor than any of his previous designs, the 5088 remains the pinnacle of Rupert's work as a designer. Every single input and output is coupled with his custom transformers – with fully discrete Class-A circuitry within – leading to a sweetness and openness that Rupert believes to be the best-sounding console he has ever created.
By filling this custom 5088 with Shelford modules – with Rupert's custom inductors inside every channel of EQ – the sound of the board combines the very best of the old with the very best of the new for an unprecedented level of sound quality and musicality.
Coupled with the classic color scheme and vintage-inspired modules, this unique 16 channel desk shown in Los Angeles has also been outfitted with Rupert Neve Designs' SwiftMix™ DAW-controlled motorized faders for the highest possible fidelity and control.
For more information on this special Shelford Edition 5088, or for a custom quote, please email firstname.lastname@example.com – and come join us at the AES Show (booth 1028) this weekend.
From the Bogner website:
"Reinhold Bogner and Mr. Rupert Neve have teamed up to produce superb audio-effects pedals that serve up rich, buttery tones, ultra-dynamic response and a stunning three-dimensional sound quality inspired by the classic mixing consoles of the 1960′s.
Each Transformer is unique and specifically designed to perfectly pair with the 100% analog audio circuit of each model.
The Studio Series gives you the same sonic bliss featured with a Bubinga exotic hardwood top panel, reminiscent of the vintage mixing consoles from the 60′s. Each panel is formed, sanded, layered and finished by hand.
The first three pedals, Burnley – Distortion, Wessex – Overdrive, and Harlow – Boost with Bloom are now in stores."
Click here to see a video of the new pedals in action.
The studio is located in a building formerly occupied by a cassette tape factory, and has lost none of its charm and vibe over the years – if anything, the vibe factor has gone through the roof.
Gear highlights of the evening included the Shelford modules (our personal throwback to the 1970′s), Moog's Theremini and analog pedals, and sE's Rupert Neve signature series microphones.
Human highlights of the evening included Larry Crane (TapeOp editor and proud owner of a 5088 console), Rolff Zweip (Blackbird Rentals), Marcel James (Antelope Audio), Chris Mara (owner of Welcome to 1979), several dozen Nashville musicians and engineers, and of course the traveling crew from RND, Moog, and sE.]]>

Byron Bay in March - help please!

Hi all - I'd appreciate some help. We are heading to Byron Bay in March for a family holiday. Looking for a three bedroom place close to town as we dont have a car. We have a toddler and a baby. Anyone stayed anywhere good recently? We are trying not to break the bank too much - there are some beautiful places out there for 3000 + but that is out of our range!!
Thanks in advance!
Posted 07 January 2013 - 09:52 PM
Good luck with that, BluesFest will be in town at the end of the month (Easter) and things book out up to a year ahead.
Further out of town, Lennox Head is lovely, and Alstonville cottages were nice.
Ooh just read you don't have a car, there may be buses from Ballina or Lennox?
Hopefully you mean early March and another EB'er can be a bit more helpful. Enjoy your holiday.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:47 AM
I'd stay out of town anyway. I find it pretty dingy for anything other than a passing visit.
What is it about Byron that you want to visit? There are many places in the surrounding areas that is much more family friendly.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:50 AM
Try Yamba, much more family friendly and cheaper. Or Lennox heads just down the road from Byron.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 04:16 PM
yikes! Not so much the response I was after.
I loved going to byron bay and staying in backpackers when i was younger (child and husband free!). Gorgeous beaches, buzzing environment, great cafes.... just has that holiday vibe! Going with a young family has thrown me as to where to stay, was hoping someone had been there recently to point me in the right direction. When I mean cheaper than 3000- i was thinking under $2000 for the week. Yep, we are going early march, am avoiding bluesfest. Got super cheap flights to ballina so figure we can deal with accommodation (reasonable) costs.
Any other thoughts? Thank you!!
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:57 PM
I honestly have found Byron different now to when I used to visit as a carefree single. Sure, places change but in Byron town is t a place I'd chose to have a family holiday with my kids.
If I were you, I would factor in the cost of car hire and look for a rental out of town. We have stayed on Alcorn St in Suffolk park. It is a short drive to Byron township, is right on the beach (Tallow so not one I'd let my young kids swim in, but the beach is fun). These days, we go for houses further back in the hills with a pool and space to run. We get glorious views and can just visit the places we want to. Most of the good eateries are outside of the township anyway.
My real preference though, would be to stay at Peppers Kingscliffe. Just much easier with kids.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 11:04 PM
I really like Brunswick Heads, just north of Byron Bay, so you could easily drive to Byron Bay for day trips etc. BH is tiny, but that's the appeal for me.
Lennox Heads is also really lovely and not too far out of Byron.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 05:09 AM
There are buses from lennox to byron a few times a day.
I would avoid Byron Bay like the plague. It is a total hole.
How about this is lennox http://m.stayz.com.au/#propertyDetails/75072
It's right near the lake and the surf club so great for kids, also the bus stop to take trips to bangalow or byron is only 10 meters away. $1400 for the week.

Gladys Gatsby has been cooking gourmet dishes since the age of seven, only her fast-food-loving parents have no idea! Now she's eleven, and after a crème brûlée accident (just a small fire), Gladys is cut off from the kitchen (and her allowance). She's devastated but soon finds just the right opportunity to pay her parents back when she's mistakenly contacted to write a restaurant review for one of the largest newspapers in the world.
But in order to meet her deadline and keep her dream job, Gladys must cook her way into the heart of her sixth-grade archenemy and sneak into New York City—all while keeping her identity a secret! Easy as pie, right?

When Theodora Tenpenny spills a bottle of rubbing alcohol on her late grandfather's painting, she discovers what seems to be an old Renaissance masterpiece underneath. That's great news for Theo, who's struggling to hang onto her family's two-hundred-year-old townhouse and support her unstable mother on her grandfather's legacy of $463. There's just one problem: Theo's grandfather was a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and she worries the painting may be stolen.
With the help of some unusual new friends, Theo's search for answers takes her all around Manhattan, and introduces her to a side of the city—and her grandfather—that she never knew. To solve the mystery, she'll have to abandon her hard-won self-reliance and build a community, one serendipitous friendship at a time.
Seventeen-year-old Althea is the sole support of her entire family, and she must marry well. But there are few wealthy suitors–or suitors of any kind–in their small Yorkshire town of Lesser Hoo. Then, the young and attractive (and very rich) Lord Boring arrives, and Althea sets her plans in motion. There's only one problem; his friend and business manager Mr. Fredericks keeps getting in the way. And, as it turns out, Fredericks has his own set of plans.
In the quiet town of Magnolia, someone is a' haunting, making people do awfully weird things. Eugene knows because he's being haunted, too. His friend Sonny's dad walked right off of a building and fell to his death, and then another friend's dad crashed his car into a tree. The same "specter" that was haunting them is inside Eugene, talking to him, telling him to do crazy things! Along with the help of their friend (conveniently, the daughter of the town's newspaper editor) Eugene and Sonny pledge to get to the bottom of the haunting. But not before uncovering a bigger mystery that will affect nearly every townsperson in sleepy little Magnolia…
"We saw the lightning and that was the guns; and then we heard the thunder and that was the big guns; and then we heard the rain falling and that was the blood falling; and when we came to get in the crops, it was dead men that we reaped." —Harriet Tubman
In five years, Jesmyn Ward lost five young men in her life—to drugs, accidents, suicide, and the bad luck that can follow people who live in poverty, particularly black men. Dealing with these losses, one after another, made Jesmyn ask the question: Why? And as she began to write about the experience of living through all the dying, she realized the truth—and it took her breath away. Her brother and her friends all died because of who they were and where they were from, because they lived with a history of racism and economic struggle that fostered drug addiction and the dissolution of family and relationships. Jesmyn says the answer was so obvious she felt stupid for not seeing it. But it nagged at her until she knew she had to write about her community, to write their stories and her own.
Only a child can find the way to bring Saint George back to the play.
The Boy works for the Magician, and he wants more than anything to learn magic. But the Magician always says, "Not yet, Boy. Not till the time is right." So the Boy has to be content with polishing the Magician's wand, taking care of the rabbits the Magician pulls out of hats, and doing his favorite job: operating the puppets for the play Saint George and the Dragon, which the Magician always performs as part of his act.
Until one day the Saint George puppet disappears, and the angry Magician hurls the Boy into the strange Land of Story to find Saint George. His quest is full of adventures with oddly familiar people, from the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe to the Giant at the top of Jack's beanstalk. But the Boy's last adventure is the most amazing of all — and changes his life forever.
ELLIE spent the summer before seventh grade getting dropped by her best friend since forever. JACK spent it training in "The Cage" with his tough-as-nails brothers and hard-to-please dad. By the time middle school starts, they're both ready for a change. And just as Jack's thinking girls have it so easy, Ellie's wishing she could be anyone but herself.
Then, BAM! They swap lives—and bodies!
Now Jack's fending off mean girls at sleepover parties while Ellie's reigning as the Prince of Thatcher Middle School. As their crazy weekend races on—and their feelings for each other grow—Ellie and Jack begin to realize that maybe the best way to learn how to be yourself is to spend a little time being someone else.
For readers of Laura Hillenbrand's Seabiscuit and Unbroken, the dramatic story of the American rowing team that stunned the world at Hitler's 1936 Berlin Olympics
Daniel James Brown's robust book tells the story of the University of Washington's 1936 eight-oar crew and their epic quest for an Olympic gold medal, a team that transformed the sport and grabbed the attention of millions of Americans. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers, and farmers, the boys defeated elite rivals first from eastern and British universities and finally the German crew rowing for Adolf Hitler in the Olympic games in Berlin, 1936.
The emotional heart of the story lies with one rower, Joe Rantz, a teenager without family or prospects, who rows not for glory, but to regain his shattered self-regard and to find a place he can call home. The crew is assembled by an enigmatic coach and mentored by a visionary, eccentric British boat builder, but it is their trust in each other that makes them a victorious team. They remind the country of what can be done when everyone quite literally pulls together—a perfect melding of commitment, determination, and optimism.
Drawing on the boys' own diaries and journals, their photos and memories of a once-in-a-lifetime shared dream, The Boys in the Boat is an irresistible story about beating the odds and finding hope in the most desperate of times—the improbable, intimate story of nine working-class boys from the American west who, in the depths of the Great Depression, showed the world what true grit really meant. It will appeal to readers of Erik Larson, Timothy Egan, James Bradley, and David Halberstam's The Amateurs.
"FREE RANGE KIDS" has become a national movement, sparked by the incredible response to Lenore Skenazy's piece about allowing her 9-year-old ride the subway alone in NYC. Parent groups argued about it, bloggers, blogged, spouses became uncivil with each other, and the media jumped all over it. A lot of parents today, Skenazy says, see no difference between letting their kids walk to school and letting them walk through a firing range. Any risk is seen as too much risk. But if you try to prevent every possible danger or difficult in your child's everyday life, that child never gets a chance to grow up. We parents have to realize that the greatest risk of all just might be trying to raise a child who never encounters choice or independence.
An intriguing novel with a classic feel, featuring three vividly alive young sisters, an eccentric family struggling against the odds, and the slowly revealed story of a house with a past.
At the end of the world, near the border with Germany, stands a house as long as nine open arms. Half hidden behind trees and shrubs rises a wide brick wall, topped with two attic windows, each no bigger than a dishcloth. The walls have been whitewashed and the wooden floor is bare, as if the house is waiting. Waiting for someone to move in.
It is the summer of 1937, and it hasn't rained for seven weeks when Fing and her family of nine move into Nine Open Arms, along with their handcart of meagre belongings. 'The Dad' is a man who does all kinds of jobs and none of them well, while Oma Mei courageously holds everything together, including the family's history in her Crocodile bag full of pictures and stories. But as the year progresses, the family just gets poorer.
Meanwhile, Fing and her two sisters, wild Muulke and fearful Jess, begin to discover strange mysteries…a bed that looks like a tombstone, and an unmarked grave in the cemetery.
Nine Open Arms is an exceptional imagined historical mystery – the story of a very special home, the eccentric families who have lived within it, and the unexpected ties that emerge between the two..
This is a magical story of the love between mother and child and the gifts of kindness and understanding. Dragon King and Sea-Cat both live under the sea. Sea-Cat lives with his mother who sews him fabulous jewel-encrusted suits that shimmer and capture the attention of all who see him. Dragon King, the ruler, lives a sad and lonely life as he is so ashamed of his ugliness. When he sees Sea-Cat in his beautiful suit, he is overcome with jealousy and wants the suit for himself. But Sea-Cat is clever and kind and befriends Dragon King. Sea-Cat knows his mother can turn the Dragon King's ruby tears into a most dazzling suit, just for him!
Where'd You Go, Bernadette meets Beautiful Ruins in this reverse love story set in Paris and London about a failed monogamist's attempts to answer the question: Is it really possible to fall back in love?
Despite the success of his first solo show in Paris and the support of his brilliant French wife and young daughter, thirty-four-year-old British artist Richard Haddon is too busy mourning the loss of his American mistress to a famous cutlery designer to appreciate his fortune.
But after Richard discovers that a painting he originally made for his wife, Anne -when they were first married and deeply in love-has sold, it shocks him back to reality and he resolves to reinvest wholeheartedly in his family life . . . just in time for his wife to learn the extent of his affair. Rudderless and remorseful, Richard embarks on a series of misguided attempts to win Anne back while focusing his creative energy on a provocative art piece to prove that he's still the man she once loved.
Skillfully balancing biting wit with a deep emotional undercurrent, debut novelist Courtney Maum has created the perfect portrait of an imperfect family-and a heartfelt exploration of marriage, love, and fidelity.
This much-anticipated follow-up to Jonathan Auxier's exceptional debut,Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes, is a Victorian ghost story with shades of Washington Irving and Henry James. More than just a spooky tale, it's also a moral fable about human greed and the power of storytelling.
The Night Gardener follows two abandoned Irish siblings who travel to work as servants at a creepy, crumbling English manor house. But the house and its family are not quite what they seem. Soon the children are confronted by a mysterious spectre and an ancient curse that threatens their very lives. With Auxier's exquisite command of language, The Night Gardener is a mesmerizing read and a classic in the making.
Olivia Susan Clemens, known as Susy Clemens was the eldest daughter and second child of Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) and his wife Olivia Langdon Clemens. Susie is said to have inspired some of the character traits for Joan of Arc, in her father's historical novel: Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc.
At the age of thirteen, Susy Clemens began work on a biography of her famous father, Samuel Clemens who wrote under the pen name, Mark Twain. Susie's brief biography of Twain was eventually published as Papa: An Intimate Biography of Mark Twain in 1988. The book includes a brief recollection of young Susie meeting a dying Ulysses S. Grant as the former Civil War General and United States President worked on his personal memoirs for Twain's publishing house. Twain included some passages from his daughter's biographical sketch of him into his own autobiography.
In this middle-grade Bridesmaids, hilarity ensues as triplets have to stop a wedding!
One bride. Two boys. Three flower girls who won't forever hold their peace. What could go wrong with this wedding? Everything!
The Brewster triplets, Dawn, Darby, and Delaney, would usually spend their summer eating ice cream, playing with their dog, and reading about the US Presidents. But this year they're stuck planning their big sister Lily's wedding. Lily used to date Alex, who was fun and nice and played trivia games with the triplets, and no one's quite sure why they broke up. Burton, Lily's groom-to-be, is not nice or fun, and he looks like an armadillo.
The triplets can't stand to see Lily marry someone who's completely wrong for her, so it's up to them to stop the wedding before anyone says "I do!" The flower girls will stop at nothing to delay Lily's big day, but will sprinklers, a photo slideshow, a muddy dog, and some unexpected allies be enough to prevent their big sister – and the whole Brewster family – from living unhappily ever after?
In her first memoir, Roz Chast brings her signature wit to the topic of aging parents. Spanning the last several years of their lives and told through four-color cartoons, family photos, and documents, and a narrative as rife with laughs as it is with tears, Chast's memoir is both comfort and comic relief for anyone experiencing the life-altering loss of elderly parents.
When it came to her elderly mother and father, Roz held to the practices of denial, avoidance, and distraction. But when Elizabeth Chast climbed a ladder to locate an old souvenir from the "crazy closet"—with predictable results—the tools that had served Roz well through her parents' seventies, eighties, and into their early nineties could no longer be deployed.
While the particulars are Chast-ian in their idiosyncrasies—an anxious father who had relied heavily on his wife for stability as he slipped into dementia and a former assistant principal mother whose overbearing personality had sidelined Roz for decades—the themes are universal: adult children accepting a parental role; aging and unstable parents leaving a family home for an institution; dealing with uncomfortable physical intimacies; managing logistics; and hiring strangers to provide the most personal care.
An amazing portrait of two lives at their end and an only child coping as best she can, Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant will show the full range of Roz Chast's talent as cartoonist and storyteller.
On the faded Island Books sign hanging over the porch of the Victorian cottage is the motto "No Man Is an Island; Every Book Is a World." A. J. Fikry, the irascible owner, is about to discover just what that truly means.
A. J. Fikry's life is not at all what he expected it to be. His wife has died, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. Slowly but surely, he is isolating himself from all the people of Alice Island-from Lambiase, the well-intentioned police officer who's always felt kindly toward Fikry; from Ismay, his sister-in-law who is hell-bent on saving him from his dreary self; from Amelia, the lovely and idealistic (if eccentric) Knightley Press sales rep who keeps on taking the ferry over to Alice Island, refusing to be deterred by A.J.'s bad attitude. Even the books in his store have stopped holding pleasure for him. These days, A.J. can only see them as a sign of a world that is changing too rapidly.
And then a mysterious package appears at the bookstore. It's a small package, but large in weight. It's that unexpected arrival that gives A. J. Fikry the opportunity to make his life over, the ability to see everything anew. It doesn't take long for the locals to notice the change overcoming A.J.; or for that determined sales rep, Amelia, to see her curmudgeonly client in a new light; or for the wisdom of all those books to become again the lifeblood of A.J.'s world; or for everything to twist again into a version of his life that he didn't see coming. As surprising as it is moving, The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry is an unforgettable tale of transformation and second chances, an irresistible affirmation of why we read, and why we love.

WANTED: Zebrina Magniflora,Cuttings or Plants.
Does anyone have sections of this Huernia, or growing plants of this Huernia and be willing to trade or sell some to me? I miss my Magniflora so much, and cant find it anyplace. I can get the small one, thats no problem, but no one has the Magniflora. Mine died 2-3 years ago, and I have been searching for it since. It took me 2 years to finally get the Orbea Variegata, I finally have it, and it is growing so wonderfully.
I miss the huge blooms of the Magniflora.
My Christmas is stinking big time, little work, no family, no friends, my best and frankly my last friend died earlier this year. I have delved into my plants and my Stapelias to not think of him 24/7. It barely helps. But any little bit is better than nothing.
Searching for this one occupies my mind a tiny bit. But even it wont bring Alex back. I SO badly want one. So...can anyone help? Even if it is just a lead as to wear to buy one?

We really didn't know what to expect at Casual Connect, but we had some friends who had been before who recommended that we go. We also didn't know about the Indie Prize until we had the privilege of meeting the organizer Yulia at PAX East earlier this year. She suggested that we submit our game to the Indie Prize Showcase which, if we were accepted, would get us 2 free passes into the event. The entire event was filled with surprises for us starting with being accepted into the Indie Prize Showcase along with 90 other awesome indie games, which for us was already an honor.
We had also heard about the Pocket Gamer Big Indie Pitch a few times (we almost went to the one at GDC) and it turns out they were holding another one at Casual Connect, so we decided to sign up. First off, if you've never pitched your game at a Big Indie Pitch event, you totally should! It's very casual, the one we went to was held at 111 Minna Gallery which is a really cool bar south of Market. The people who run it are really nice and you do the pitches in a "speed dating" format so it's not like you're up on stage in front of a big crowd. There were 5 tables with 1 or 2 people at each table (mostly gaming press but also a couple of folks from Samsung who co-sponsored the event). Each team had 3 minutes to pitch at each table and then at the end of the whole thing, the judges deliberated over who should win the prizes. PRIZES? What we didn't know going in is that 1st place gets $5,000 worth of advertising on Steel Media websites (Pocket Gamer, 148Apps, etc). Ok, so why am I telling you all of this? Because we actually ended up winning the thing for our Phantom PI pitch! And this is before Casual Connect even started.
What I failed to mention until now, is that we had submitted The Phantom PI to Apple a week before and the game had been approved for sale just as we were leaving for San Francisco. So already we're freaking out about being done with the game and we're super nervous about whether or not we're going to be featured the following Thursday and how the reviews are going to be and all of the stress of being away from our office during launch week… and well I'm sure you can imagine what we were going through.
Alright so the next couple of days were at Casual Connect showing our game along side all of these other great games. We met a bunch of great people, made some new friends and played a lot of games. The 2nd night of the show they hold the official party where they also give out awards for games in the Indie Prize Showcase. We went out to dinner before the event and weren't expecting to win anything so we kind of dawdled a little. When we finally got there, they had already given out most of the awards so we were kinda bummed that maybe we missed getting nominated for one of the categories (which we did!). Anyway so we're about to walk off to the bar when the announcement for Best Game in Show comes up and Yulia goes "The Phantom PI Mission Apparition". What the what?! We were in shock, we're still in shock. We staggered on to the stage, I almost dropped the glass trophy right onto the marble floor but somehow managed to grab it at the last second, I look up and this dude shouts "nice catch!". It was magical. The game was also nominated for Best Story which we found out the next day.
About an hour later, The Phantom PI started showing up on App Stores around the world, first in New Zealand, and then on around the globe as midnight raced on. The next day was a blur of sending out press emails from the Casual Connect floor (hooray for good wifi!) and stress over whether or not we'd be featured. Someone with a UK app store account confirmed early on that we were featured there, so that was a good sign. And then at about 2:00 west coast time, it showed up in the US App Store refresh!
So that was our trip to Casual Connect which was easily the craziest and most eventful show we'd ever been to. If you read this far, thanks for sticking with me! Oh and as I write this, we just got confirmation that we'll be attending PAX Prime so we hope to see you there!
Oh and finally, here's our iOS launch trailer:

Bio and Links
What began as a search for my father, whom I had not seen since the age of 9, quickly blossomed into a marked desire to know more about my own ancestral history.
My interest peaked through the encouragement of my father, who told me of many stories passed down to him through his mother. He had also lost touch with his father as a child and, before he'd even have an interest of wanting to know his father on his own terms, his mother called him and his two sisters to her home where they all sat around her kitchen table as she informed them that their father had passed away.
That was in 1972 and, though it did not seem to be a big deal to him back then, as time wore on he'd come to regret not attempting to find the man who was partially responsible for bringing him into this world. Now, all he had were tales as seen through his mother's eyes, told to him when they did not interest him very much at all... but he somehow retained enough to pass them on to me and I started researching to help fill in the gaps of what he did not quite understand.
Though I was not able to pinpoint information on two specific women his mother had mentioned as being an integral part of his father's life before my father himself passed away, I did help him discover that many of the things his mother had told him were, in fact, true. I have since uncovered the specifics on the aforementioned two women, but my father was long deceased by the time I did. At this point, there's only two more allegories that I have yet to verify... With faith in the credibility of the source, I have no doubt that someday I will.
My primary contribution to this website comes in the form of the research I do. If I can attain copies of certs, records, photographs, etc., you can bet your bippy I am going to load them on to that person's memorial. If you think this is not the place for these because these items would not normally be at a person's burial site... Well, that's what a memorial site is all about. It's not their burial site. These documents serve to verify certain facets of a person's life and death. They help tell a story that one would never know simply by seeing a headstone buried in packed soil.
This is a hobby, an interest, that has become a passion of mine. I am not in competition with anyone to control the highest number of memorials on this site. I take my time, do my research, and add new memorials as I see they are needed. This means that there will probably not be many and, for most of them, they will almost always be related to me in some fashion.
But I have no intention of linking my family members back to Adam and Eve, just link as many as I can within my lifetime, is all. If, in doing so, I manage to get back to Adam & Eve... well I'd be the first one surprised!
Three things I think everyone should know:
1) I do not hold any copyrights to any of the material I load to someone's memorial, nor do I demand credit for them. All I ask is that you do not take a photo and claim that it is someone other than who I have stated it to be.
2) When I suggest an edit to a memorial, I often will send links to records as verification that what I am suggesting has merit. Those links are sent for review purposes only. Please do not copy them onto the memorials you manage.
3) I could care less what Find-a-Grave's policy is on asking for transfers. If I have either created or manage a memorial of someone who is not related to me and someone who is later asks for a transfer, consider it done!... and boo to the mo-mo's who wouldn't do the same! I refuse to hold anyone's ancestors hostage for the sake of numbers. It's stupid and childish and there is absolutely no "personal" thing to gain by doing it.
Dear Ancestor,
Your tombstone stands among the rest,
Neglected and alone.
The name and the date are chiseled out
On polished, marbled stone.
It reaches out to all who care
It is too late to mourn.
You did not know that I exist
You died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you
In flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our blood contracts and beats a pulse
Entirely not our own.
Dear Ancestor, the place you filled
One hundred years ago
Spreads out among the ones you left
Who would have loved you so.
I wonder if you lived and loved,
I wonder if you knew
That someday I would find this spot,
And come to visit you.
Author Unknown
Based on my research to date, I am directly linked to the following family surnames...
: Alger/Algers/Algar, Bliss, Cave/DeCave, Chambers, DeYarmon/DeYarmont, Elkins, Fry, Leech/Leach, Pettit/Petit/Padgett, Sloan, Snyder/Schneider
: Avens, Bird/Burd/Buyrd/Byrd, Cook/Koch, Crabtree, Cranfeld/Cranfield, Fuller, Hackler/Heckler/Heichler, Helm, Newcomb/Newcombe/Newcome, Peter/Peters, Shoemaker/Shoemacher, Sperry, Staubler, Tomson/Thomson/Thompson
The list of family surnames above is not comprehensive. I update it periodically as I have time, but am not going to update it one family name at a time... I'll add to it when I add to it.

Hi Launa you might want to go back and look at your Alger/Algers in Monongahela. I have added death certs for some of them and you chould be able to copy them from there. Only 1906 to 1924 is available right now but as the 1925 to 1944 come available I will check for the one that is still missing a photo. Kathi

I was out yesterday and I did see t stone you are describing. I am also aware that memorial #19517439 has been in place for some time. It has the info from that stone on the memorial. I was aware of the other memorial being there. I thought that there may have been some other issued with dates & such. FYI, that is the only Alger grave I saw marked in that cemetery.
Also, it is obvious MANY buried there are in unmarked graves.

Hi Luana I am not related to the majority of the memorials I have created. I am not concerned with the number of memorials or losing them either. The memorial in question was a relative of yours and that memorial had a wealth of genealogical information the easiest solution was for me to delete mine it wasn't a problem. If you notice any others like that let me know. Kathi

It was just a guess that his dates might be on his father's marker--I don't know how else they would have ended up on the cemetery list. If you enter a Photo Request perhaps someone will get a picture that will help clear up this little mystery.
It sure is true that every answer raises several more questions. And there's no end to wondering about the details of our ancestors' lives.

My requirement is parsing xml files which contains wide varieties of timestamps based on the locales at which they are written. They may contain Unicode characters in case of Chinese or Korean locales. I have to parse these timestamps and put then in a standard format something like
2009-11-26 12:40:54 to put them in a oracle database. Sometimes I may not even know the locale and yet I have to parse the timestamps.
I am looking for a module that automatically detects the timestamp format (including unicode characters for am and pm in their local language) and converts in to epoch time so that I can convert it back to what ever way I like to.
I have gone through similar questions in this forum. Few suggested DateFormat module, and Date::Parse module. The perl distribution I am using is 5.10 so Date::Manip doesn't come as a core module. As I am supposed to use just the basic core modules and few CPAN modules(on request I cannot ask for all),
I request you to kindly suggest me a good module that suffices all my requirements. Thanks in advance

Biologic behavior
These tumors are considered to be locally invasive tumors that will grow along tissue planes. Invasion into bone is uncommon. The potential for metastasis depends on the grade of the tumor with low- to intermediate-grade tumors having a metastatic rate of less than 15 percent and high-grade tumors having a metastatic rate of up to 45 percent (Kuntz 1997, Selting 2005). The most common site of metastasis is the lung followed by lymph node.Presentation

Archer is the rare show that's in love with its own wordplay and good enough that this love becomes endearing rather than annoying.
This spy spoof hits a bull's-eye with risque snark and one of the best vocal casts assembled for any animated series.
This wittily raunchy spy spoof from Adam Reed (Sealab 2021, Frisky Dingo) features intentionally stiff cartoon characters led by the title hero.
I got many more sustained belly laughs out of the show that follows Sunny in an under-the-radar sneak preview.
Based on this preview, though, Archer gives FX something that the drama-heavy channel hasn't enjoyed for awhile--namely, a sharp comedic arrow in its quiver.
I like Archer because it succeeds where so many of the snarky animated series tend to fail. Reed and his writers and voice actors balance all the pop satire and raunch with a strong sense of the characters.
Archer is a millennial (and very much R-rated) "Get Smart" that acerbically and hilariously plays on our post-9/ll fears that "U.S. government intelligence" might be a grim oxymoron.
Archer is funny. If you don't agree after the first episode, keep watching. You might try drinking a little coffee or having a doughnut before you tune in, though, because the zingers fly by pretty quickly.
The first episode is, maybe to grab the young-guy audience, heavier on the sexplay and lighter on the laughs. But two or three episodes in, the characters and dynamics come together, and the show really begins to kill. Literally and figuratively, but mostly figuratively.
With its demented story lines, idiotic characters, out-of-control banter and fantastic send-ups of a spy genre that had seemingly been overspoofed already, Archer is destined to put another feather in the cap of FX.
The show is fast, funny and smart, although it stoops a little low for punchlines; I could do without the fat jokes and the cheap shot at Indira Gandhi. But the random humor pays off more often than not.
Suffice to say that Archer will probably appeal to viewers who like their comedy literate, demented and subversive.
Suffice it to say, keep the kids away, but you will laugh - and feel guilty about it afterward.
While the show's humor can be raunchy or even cruel, the voice work is pure unruffled deadpan. [18 Jan 2010, p.42]
Though future episodes don't quite measure up to the brilliant pilot, Archer nurtures a collection of recurring themes that pile up and become funnier the more they are referenced through the episodes.
Archer is not for everyone, and certainly not for anyone whose idea of risque is "Get Smart." But do yourself one favor: Don't decide it's not for you until you have watched an entire episode, because you just may find the good outweighs the excessive.
Archer may be crude but it's far more clever than last fall's disappointing "Testees," and "Archer" wins points with its observational humor about modern life and in its mocking of mundane workplace minutiae, such as computer passwords and the lack of security at a spy agency.
The new series boasts eye-catching animation and dollops of sex and violence but only enough humor to elicit occasional chuckles. If you eliminate the references to sexual perversions, even the smiles are few and far between.

In fact, it's probably not for most people. The humor is sophomoric (incredibly so sometimes) and the jokes can be a bit repetitive. That said, this is my favorite comedy on TV. It's hard to review comedy, as plot, characters, location, etc... all essentially don't matter to me. Sure the music is good and the voice acting is wonderful, but the real barometer, and the one that earns this show a '9' from me, is "does it make me laugh?" The answer: more than any other show on TV. Archer is hilarious. Season 1 is simply outstanding. Watch a single episode and if you like it and the jokes resonate with you, than you'll be in for a great season of TV!… Full Review »
