"Well worth the Effort"
Judged on standards of quality of writing, narration and psychological coherence (the weak link), I would rate this collection a 4.5.
Eventually, though, I gave it 4 overall. The reason being there is little sense of joy; on the contrary, there is an ironic, mocking tone and questioning of human frailities throughout. You are confronted and often you cringe. All the tales are set before 1950 and may seem old-fashioned and slow-moving. They are best savoured over a week or two.
Now the good news!! None of the stories are duds; several are outstanding, as is the narration. The Yellow Wallpaper, a description of slow disintegration into madness is mesmerizing in its detail, focus and imagination. It was written quickly and from the heart over two afternoons, I believe, by Charlotte Perkins Gilmore. I suspect that feminists love it (men are ambiguously and indirectly maligned ... or maybe not, that is its charm). The Gioconda Smile by Aldous Huxley is another great yarn. Set in the 1920s, it depicts a conceited, supercilious Englishman who betrays women seemingly without damage or remorse until everything goes pear-shaped with a vengeance. It is beautifully written, well-crafted and excellently read by Michael York I think. Unfortunately, no acknowledgement is ever given. The outstanding narrator of The Yellow Wallpaper is likewise snubbed - an avoidable annoyance.
A final recommendation: I liked this collection on the first listening but I enjoyed it wholeheartedly the second time around. It is quality material. Give it a whirl!
"Unexpected Pleasure!!"
Having already read Barry's "The Whereabouts of Eneas McNulty" and finding it pretentious and verbose, I expected little. Wrong!
This is great stuff on many levels. I was flattened by the realistic description of the battle scenes, the mustard gas, the machine guns etc. but most of all by the courage and bravery of the poor mutts that endured the carnage. Of course, they vaguely thought they were fighting for king and country (Ireland?) - at least at the start - but disillusionment quickly set in. This gradual enlightment is subtlely sketched. A powerful anti-war manifesto with especial relevance to to-day.
Brilliantly read by John Cormack. The language is beautiful and poetic. Upon checking, I discovered that Sebastian Barry has authored several books of poetry...and it shows.
I'm Irish, so know that the historical details are accurate (and conveniently forgotten until very recently) although admittedly the plot itself is contrived to augment the story. No matter.
In summary, a beautiful book which repays some small latitude as it takes time to hit its stride. One of the unexpected bonuses that make life so rewarding.
Extraordinary! An amazing confection of beautiful gothic writing, fast-paced story line, outstanding narration by Robert Whitfield ... and sheer terror.
When heard in the dead of night, this book encourages the imagination as no television adaptation can. Take in small doses for maximum effect. It pulls the veil from hardnosed modern indifference to expose atavistic superstitions lurking in forgotten recesses.

TravelPod Member ReviewsGarrett's Desert Inn Santa Fe
We stayed last October and some of the facilities weren't available such as the gym and the pool but it was a great, quiet, clean place to stay with easy walking distance of the Plaza. Very good value for money and we would happily go back next time we are road-tripping in the SW.

Historical Traveler Reviews Garrett's Desert Inn Santa Fe
Poorly maintained
No signal to television the whole 1st day of stay. We had to actually transfer to a different room in order to get television reception. Pool was disgusting. Overheard 2 other rooms being told that their room problems would likely be fixed tomorrow, the same thing we were told initially. A local told me that is why they call it 'Garrett's Desserted Inn'.
Great location and has great potential once they decide to take preventive maintenance seriously.
They didn't even bother to reply to my email addressing their maintenance issues.
The only place to stay in downtown Santa Fe and not break the bank
You will not find a hotel as close to the Plaza as Garrett's Desert Inn for anything close to this price. I stayed the first week of August, 2004. The room was $129 (plus all of those state taxes), plus $8 per day for parking.
Pros: As they say in the Real Estate biz, "Location, Location, Location". It's within walking distance (and I mean *easy* walking distance) of the Plaza, and conveniently located to everything. The staff was friendly and helpful, and there is ample parking. Now, you can find hotels the same distance or closer to the Plaza (for at least $100 more per night). But I'm guessing you'd have to go at least three miles out to match this price.
Cons: if you're looking for a four-star room, this ain't your cup of tea. The room I stayed in had a king bed, a dresser, a table and two chairs. There was a somewhat small TV in an entertaiment unit (satellite TV, good channel selection). Toward the back was an open closet, a wide vanity, and a bathroom with one operable window. The only other window (though it's non-operable) is in front. Central heat, but a window-shaker for air conditioning (which I didn't need). I'd call the room itself two-star accomodations. The decor and layout are functional, but dated. Note that this applies to a standard room; I'll bet the suites are nicer.
Other: there's a restaurant (with live entertainment) and an outdoor pool. I didn't get to take advantage of either, so I can't comment one way or the other.
Summary: unless I win the lottery, Garrett's will be my Santa Fe destination from now on.
Great Choice
This is a great hotel in the center of town. We were very happy with its location, the cleanliness of the hotel, the staff, and the amenities. It really is an amazing deal in the center of town. We would definitely stay at this hotel again without hesitation.
Good Value
I have stayed at Garrett's. The hotel is definitely not luxurious, but it is one of the best values for your money. It's a smaller hotel that provides a good, clean place to sleep and sightsee. It is located within easy walking distance to the plaza and several other attractions. The rooms were not very large, but they were clean. A swimming pool was on the premises, but we were so busy sightseeing that we did not take time to swim. It appeared to be kept clean. I recommend you stay at Garrett's if you are looking for great value for your money and not luxury.
Disappointing but good location
Just returned from Santa Fe and was less than thrilled with Garretts Desert Inn. Its only selling point is the location which is near the Plaza. Front desk people were not at all helpful and each person gave conflicting answers to basic questions. Reservation/billing system was a mess. One guest charged for local calls but others weren't. I was billed for bogus restaurant charges. Two of the lamps in my room didn't have bulbs and front desk won't give out light bulbs. TV remote didn't work. Tub and sink drains in bathroom seemed to be clogged. (All basic things that should have been evident during daily room cleaning.) On the plus side, great pillows and plenty of towels. Just not worth $119 per night despite its location.
Budget hotel-Luxury area
This motel is a great way to inexpensively stay in the heart of downtown Santa Fe! Althought the accommodations are simple, the location is supurb! The attached restuarant/bar features a relaxing patio with live music and cheap drinks. This place is two short blocks away from the plaza, and all of the other hotels in this area are 4-star luxury. We paid $79 dollars a night, and spent the rest on fabulous dinners and gifts. Highly recommend!!!
Great Motel
This is a great little motel. I have never stayed in a motel that was so convenient to EVERYTHING!!!! We will definitely stay there again and soon---probably this fall. We do wish they had a work out room, however---it does not have to be very big--a treadmill or two and a couple of Stair Masters!!!!!
An excellent downtown value!
Finding affordable accomodations in downtown Santa Fe can be a challenge. If you're on a budget, check out Garrett's Desert Inn. It's located only 2 short blocks from the Plaza in the heart of downtown. The standard room with 2 queen sized beds was spacious and also had a little dressing area. When we arrived, it didn't take us long to figure out we had a plumbing problem. The front desk was very friendly and sent someone over within 5 minutes to fix it. There is an $8 per day parking charge, but you'd spend so much more staying somewhere else, so you come out on top in the end. I highly recommend Garrett's for those who want a comfortable, quiet and affordable place to stay in downtown Santa Fe.
This is the worst hotel I've stayed. Springs sticking out of the mattress, dirty carpet, stinky, and no HOT WATTER!!!
Great deal!
I have stayed here several times and it's a great price with an excellent location. I recommend to anyone who wants to be on the square but doesn't want to pay a fortune.

Quick Review: Arctic Sound P321 USB HeadsetAnother tactile employment of USB from Arctic Sound. This time in simple stereo form.
The P321's are another USB powered headset from Arctic Cooling's Arctic Sound division. This time, however, they are of the stereo variety and as such are intended for music listening. Since this headset does not interface in the traditional sense with a sound card, it relies on a built-in sound processor much like the one found in its more advanced next of kin; the P531 (review coming soon). Company boffins also claim the use of some high fidelity drivers along with a design that aids in blocking out outside noise.
The package is very slim indeed, as one might expect with a headset like this. The ensuing setup is simply a matter of USB plug and play.
The headset receives its commands from an in-line volume control which while not feeling good to hold due to some melted down action figures being used to cast it, is adequate for what is required. One interesting feature to notice on the control is the skip track in either direction feature, which is a nice touch, we feel. There is also a built in Mic, which has become the obligatory set of steak knives in the headset world.
However, it does add another notch in this headsets feature list. The onboard sound processor is also of interest to us as there does not seem to be much in the way of technical information on it. The P321's use a larger 50mm driver than the more advanced P531, which in theory should provide a better overall image of the sound, as the larger driver is less restricted in the frequencies it can produce. It should be interesting to see how the two compare when tested.
- Features
- High-fidelity driver ensures uncompromised sound details and dynamics
- Powerful bass, crisp highs
- Retractable microphone included
- Lightweight and comfortable
- Distortion-free digital audio
The specifications are a fairly standard affair. Really, the single most important thing in a headset like this is to use a speaker driver which is of a high quality and one that is capable of generating some good sound pressure on the users head. If you can get that right, in most cases those headphones will sound good. Intrinsically linked to the last point, secondly of interest is the feather like weight which comes in at only 225g. While sounding like a larkish thing to say, we probably like the ultra-lightweight-ness more than anything else about this headset.
The move to have a built in audio processor is one we like quite a lot. Obviously it's a new concept and new concepts need time to percolate into great concepts, but it's certainly a good move by Arctic Cooling which opens doors to allow tailor made digital processing solutions for specific headsets. It totally bypasses the need for on board processing in the users system, not to mention the potential for gamers and portable lovers. But there is also some scope for 'theme headsets' which use special processing equipment to create a certain usage template like 'movie buff' and 'heavy metal'.
- High End
Fairly well balanced all around, although not exactly what might be referred to as high fidelity; also not managing to live up to the standard set by the slightly more expensive P531's.
- Mid Range
Probably stronger than the high end, but a little bit recessed and thin. Percussive tones were there, but not in spirit we are sad to report. Everything had a sort of 2D feel to it in the mid range; it's hard to describe with much useful accuracy as it could be a signal issue with the processing somewhere along the line we hypothesize, rather than an issue with the hardware. But we could also be completely incorrect.
- Low End
And things do not get a whole lot better with the low end we are afraid. They just have not used a driver with enough punch to deliver a strong low end. On a brighter note, though, they are very comfortable to wear, mainly due to how light they are. Given longer more sustained listening sessions, users should not experience any issues with comfort and neck complaints.
Overall, this headset does not sound bad; it is quite comfortable to wear and weighs in at a handful of change at the checkout (sub $40US). But it's a combination of factors that let us down today. The slightly more expensive P531's feel so much nicer to hold and just seem as though they are the product of a better design team.
If this system could be used with portable devices, we would be inclined to overlook some of the shortfalls, but as a desktop or laptop system only, as it has been designed, not withstanding the very low price, it just isn't really worth the bother. You might as well just save for a few more weeks and buy the P531's with no regrets and have surround built in.

This is garbage, and I like post-structuralism. Poorly written technofetishism that focuses exclusively on life in the global north without even a thought as to where the resources come from that enable this analysis in the first place.

It is like going to a nice restaurant and getting part of a steak , no salad, no side dish, and nothing to drink. It really doesn't matter if the bit of steak you got is great or not when you are asked to pay the price of a full meal and you go so little it is just offensive and annoying. And seeing Champion's Online have similar issues only makes it that much more annoying, 'fool me once' and all.

Connectivity options are quite comprehensive. The external A/V controller houses all of the inputs and outputs and sends the signals to the panel via a proprietary cable with three connections (DVI for video, plus audio and control connectors). On the back of the controller, you'll find one DVI and one HDMI input--the former compatible with PCs and Macs that have DVI outputs, up to 1,280x1,024 resolution. There are also two component-video inputs, one S-Video input, two composite-video inputs, and two FireWire ports. A set of monitor A/V outputs with composite video only and an RS-232 control port for use with touch-panel control systems such as Crestron and AMX are also included. A center-channel input and an optical digital audio output round out the jack pack.Overall we found the LC-45GX6U's image quality a bit disappointing for such a high-end set. Out-of-the-box performance leaves something to be desired, making calibration a real must for optimum performance. Even after calibration, however, poor grayscale tracking (the ability to maintain a consistent color temperature at varying brightness levels; see the geek box) in particular makes this LCD difficult to recommend for demanding home-theater applications.
In the plus column, the LC-45GX6U's black-level performance is actually better than that of most other LCD direct-views. When the backlight control is set correctly, you get a reasonably deep black, although it's still not as good as the best plasmas or DLP-based sets. Unfortunately, when we set our Denon DVD-2900's black level correctly (at 0 IRE), material darker than 10 percent above black was crushed, rendering important shadow details invisible. That issue aside, the opening of Alien, a sequence of very dark scenes, revealed quiet blacks with little or no visible low-level noise or artifacts.
The LC-45GX6U has severe red push out of the box, but Sharp's CMS (color management system) allows a professional to get rid of most of it. This control potentially allows inexperienced users to really screw up the color, although happily Sharp does provide a reset option. After adjustment, the opening scenes of the Pirates of the Caribbean DVD revealed excellent color saturation. Because of the relatively poor grayscale tracking, however, skin tones definitely looked a little unnatural.
We used our JVC D-VHS deck to evaluate HDTV image quality. The D-VHS version of Behind Enemy Lines looked really good, with awesome detail and good color saturation. The panel's high pixel count really brought out details that aren't available in lower-resolution displays. Nonetheless, according to our Accupel HDG-3000 signal generator, the panel doesn't quite fully resolve the 1,920x1,080 resolution test pattern via either component or DVI. We expect that this slight loss of detail is caused by the internal scalar.

Hey all,
Please publish geometry algorithm u use to create wals — and we will fix it.
Posts: 2,747View profile
I posted about this as well. I find it odd you guys cant replicate it , because it happens quite frequently, all things considered.
Also, when i posted, i posted that it didnt happen to me this time, but instead, i watched a champ pack do it to one of their own kind. Check my post history, it was bloody pricelessly funny.
Yes, this bug very much exsists, and has many threads around here, as far as i recall reading (unless they got deleted).
Edited by Homicyde#1226 on 4/22/2013 9:16 PM PDT
Nice to see the OP quoting me, as I've had this exact problem multiple times.
In fact the last time was in the last few days, wall dropped right on top of me, jailed me and prevented me from running away from Desecrator/Arcane. I don't run with Serenity any more so even that couldn't save me.
This is one reason why I don't play HC. In SC, it's no big deal, but it feels mega-cheap to be pinned down and slaughtered like that.
I don't need the geom algo to fix it:
var wall = new Wall;

I noted that many ppl said the OP is trolling. I have to congratulate them because they have never been trapped in a wall. I used "IN" behind "trapped", not "BETWEEN" because you are really in the wall.
Some ppl said that this might be because you are trapped between multiple walls, so you are stuck at one spot and cannot move at all --> so this is not a bug.
I tried this few times. It is obviously a bug as wall does not intend to do so. The proof is: when a wizard was trapped between the wall, she can teleport and escape. But in this case, you cannot teleport at all. This makes it even worse than JAILER, in which you can use teleport to break the root effect.
Hope this clear!

There is a way out when the wall spawns on top of you, this has happened to me about 3 times now. Basically you have to try and move out in every direction and eventually the character 'finds' a way out. It still shouldn't appear that the wall is on top of you though.

I have many times had a SINGLE wall freeze me in place. I don't know if its lag or what but if blizzard doesn't believe us that this is happening with SINGLE walls. I will try my best to take a pic next time it happens, but i don't FRAPS often enough to show this off in a video. Just posting to increase the # of people this is still happening to.

I don't ever remember having the criss cross pattern trap me, but many times I've been "glued" by a single wall. I find that the length of time your stuck in the wall is variable, sometimes it's for a fraction of a second and other times it seems to be a second or two.

Hey all,
This made me chuckle - because Blizz seems to be either unwilling or incapable of putting much effort into this game and it's (many) problems, meanwhile I'm quite sure some people within the D3 community would be able to fix this any many other issues if they were given the time and ability to do so.
Makes you wonder what they're all doing behind their closed doors aside from procrastinating and buying time by saying "Yeah we've been thinking about that..."
I agree that is not fun at all. I *have* been in the situation people are talking about, but it is very rare and if I don't have evasive fire as a skill, I just wait it out and hope to not die or I use smokescreen. I don't know if the bug still exists but this was a bug.
Well that is a rather silly assumption to make considering you don't know what their code looks like. How do you know if they aren't already doing this? If you actually were an experienced coder, you'd understand that even if checks like these were in place (which they likely are), the bug can still produce itself through other means.
I don't mean to sound rude or anything, its that this is the reality of the matter.
Anyway, if it does turn out to be a bug, I hope Blizz can get it sorted.

- Make walls breakable after 5x hit or more (in archon and WW).
- When champions have it, do not let them cross it. Only lay down walls on clean surface, kinda.
- Let them make a wall a bit further away from the player. This will make sprint + 24% movementspeed WW barb for example) not to be right in the wall when it happens.

Quercus fusiformis acorns
Hi Everyone,
I've been hunting for Quercus fusiformis seedlings or acorns for quite some time. I have only found of 2 mail order nurseries that have carried this oak and both do not have any available. My goal is to see if this oak species can survive in one of the most mild parts of Ohio, a borderline 6b zone. I think there is potential.
I would like to know if anyone has access to Quercus fusiformis acorns and would be willing to mail them to me for the cost of shipping and any charges associated with the collection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
I will have access to hundreds of these acorns around the middle of December. Source is in the hill country of Texas: Blanco, TX specifically.
I do not know if they will survive Ohio. I have not tried to grow them here, in OKC. Maybe I will try this year.
How many acorns would you like?
luvabasil - Thank you for the offer. If it is possible to send 20 or so acorns, that would be tremendous! If you send me and email at jakek920atyahoodotcom I'll send you my address and I can get payment instructions.
trees4ok - Thank you for checking. I really appreciate it a lot!
The more acorns the merrier!
While Cincinnati is wetter than most areas of Texas and Oklahoma, I think Q. fusiformis stands the best chance for being the evergreen/semi-evergreen oak species. Q. nigra will hold its leaves till mid-November, but eventually goes fully deciduous. Q. hemisphaerica is another option that hopefully I can try very soon. As far as cold tolerance is concerned, this area can drop below zero degrees on just about any given year. The recent trend for this area is 6b/7a/7b depending on the microclimate, but long term it is a 6a/6b area. I think it is still worth a try.

"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
In a crucial situation, I prefer just about anyone to Stubbs up there.
Career .639 OPS with RISP and .654 with runners on for Drew.
Heisey is only a tad better at .653 and .703.
Wilson Valdez is better in that regard. (.764 career RISP hitter).
Maybe its splitting hairs or choosing the rock/hard place. I'd take my chances with Heisey. But that's me and I don't think Dusty thinks that way.
"A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it."
Sure, Stubbs had a down year last season.
But this year, he's started 51 games.
36 of those games in the #2 hole with a 824 OPS.. especially with his speed and defense, that's a valuable player. Not I agree he was absysmal in the other 15 games that he did not bat #2..
He's a streaky player, like most of our guys, but I'm not willing to trade him for a rental LF that can't play defense that is only a marginal upgrade over what we have. I'm in no hurry at all to trade Stubbs.. The Reds would have to be bowled over for me to even consider it. Stubbs has solidified CF. Even if he's only an "average" CF.. Average CF are hard to find, and it's great not to have to trot a Corey Patterson out there. Heisey is a lesser player than Stubbs, IMO. Plus, it's useful to have both of them on the roster.
Thank you Walt and Bob for bringing winning baseball back to Cincy
Nov. 13, 2007: One of the greatest days in Reds history: John Allen gets the boot!
To some extent, the Stubbs/Heisey debate revolves around other players at other positions.
The Reds have too few lefty hitters. The Reds lack true tablesetters. The Reds lack a true middle of the order RHH.
If the Reds were to add one or more of these types, Stubbs' hitting would matter less.
I find Drew difficult to watch, he misses so many pitches, his inability to foul them off. But if the Reds had a better balanced offense, Drew could hit seventh - or even second - and his offensive issues wouldn't have that much impact.
We're all looking for a big positive from CF offensively. Maybe we get the big positive from a different position and Drew would be adequate.
As for Heisey, he had a bad game last night so I'm not discussing him today.
I think a lot of Stubbs value is given to him from the park he plays in. His career home splits are way above his road.
And, really, he hasn't been a very good hitter anywhere as a professional. Career .765 OPS guy for his career in the minors.
Exactly, I just think he is what he is at this point. I'll be very surprised if he ever approaches his 2010 numbers again. He's not a bad player at all. With his speed and defense he's a useful starter who I think will have a lot of value on the market because of his skill set. I'm not bashing on Stubbs by any means, I just think he brings the Reds more value in a trade than he does actually on the field at this point.

If he doesn't have the value I think he does on the trade market, I have no problem hanging on to him.

One does have to wonder how long Rolen will be given? He hasn't had a hit since the 23rd. Will Dusty continue to stick with this vet?
Season line...
Average is .184, OBP is .243, SLG is .322 (OPS .572) with 3 home runs.
Now, he has had only 125ish ABs this year, but still. Outside of a couple of games, he's looked dismal offensively. I was glad to at least see him at 7th in the lineup tonight, but really, he should be splitting time with Frazier at this point. Even though I prefer his glove any day of the week over Frazier's, I don't think Frazier has looked horrible at 3B. And as long as he keeps hitting, it's worth having him in the lineup.

I just think it's way too soon to be making any judgements about Rolen.
"Man, the pitch looks fast, even in slow motion." Thom Brennaman on Chapman's fastball.
Rolen has value as a PH and late inning defensive replacement, but Frazier needs to be getting 90 percent of the PAs at 3B
"But I do know Joey's sister indirectly (or foster sister) and I have heard stories of Joey being into shopping, designer wear, fancy coffees, and pedicures."
Without the late Rolen scratch, probably a 3-0 shutout for the Giants today. Also a nice pick by Frazier early in the game.
Frazier continues to impress which is the lone bright spot from today's painful result. Actually we have two, Ludwick continues to be more than adequate out in LF given the lack of other options for the time being.
Stubbs went 0 for San Francisco. (14 ABs). Anyone want to wager how he finishes the trip?
Drew has terrible away splits (.648 OPS lifetime). That's approaching Juan Castro territory.

"Texier beautifully evokes the textures of daily life: a crisply told, rattling good tale."

The introduction, discussion questions, suggested reading list, and author biography that follow are intended to enhance your group's discussion of Catherine Texier's Victorine. In addition, we've included recipes for delicious French treats to serve at your next meeting.
1. How would you describe Texier's writing style? Why has she chosen to structure the narrative around a single day late in Victorine's life and interweave it with flashbacks? How does this structure work with the plot and the atmosphere of the novel? What effect does the structure have on the reader that a straightforward, chronological structure would not? What is the purpose of Texier's prologue and epilogue?
2. Describe the different places in Victorine. What do the landscapes hold for the characters and the story? How do the characters react differently to the various landscapes? How are Victorine's houses in both Vendée and Vietnam described? Why are they described in such detail?
3. How has growing up in a small village in Vendée, on the Atlantic coast of France, affected Victorine's personality and desires? How has it influenced her decisions and compromises? Why does she escape this world and then abandon her new life and return to France?
4. Why is the tale of how Victorine got her name important? Does it reveal anything about her and what she is going to be like? How do her childhood and her parents mold the adult that Victorine becomes? Describe her parents. In what ways is she similar to her father? How does he encourage her to follow her dreams?
5. Antoine tells Victorine, "I will not betray you" [p. 158]. But Victorine reflects that she is the betrayer. Discuss the theme of betrayal in this novel. What types of betrayal occur in the novel? Who betrays whom? Is silence a betrayal? Antoine tells Victorine, "It's your silence that is poisoning your life" [p. 241]. Do you agree with this statement? Are the French betraying the Vietnamese? Are they betraying the democratic ideals of their home country?
6. What is the role of opium in the novel? How do the various characters react to it and change their opinion of it over the course of the novel? How do the French use it to control the Vietnamese? How do various people use it to control others? Why do the French tax opium? What do you learn about French colonialism in Indochina through reading Victorine?
7. Discuss the theme of the corset and the unhooked woman in Victorine.
8. How are the characters of Antoine and Armand both similar and different? How does each court Victorine and win her heart? What attracts her to each man? Is her relationship with each man different? What determines and undermines Victorine's romantic attachments? How do the events of the novel shift her ties to each man? Armand explains to Victorine, "If you're never satisfied with what you have, you'll always be miserable" [p. 121]. Does she have a satisfying relationship with either man?
9. "How can she, just like that, walk from one man's bed to another's?" Victorine asks herself [p. 154]. How and why does she?
10. Describe her relationship with the Buddhist monk. What do they share? What does she learn from him and perhaps he from her? How is he different from the other men in her life?
11. Contrast Victorine with the other women in the novel—her sisters, Armand's sisters, her mother, and Camille. What is her relationship like with these various women? Why does she want to continue working when all the other women around her are housewives?
12. What kind of mother is Victorine? Why doesn't she take her children with her when she escapes to Vietnam? How has motherhood transformed or hindered Victorine? What is Victorine's mother like?
13. The novel raises the question of whether responsibility to one's family and society is more sacred than being true to oneself. Discuss the tension between responsibility and freedom in Victorine's life. How does she both escape and embrace her feelings of captivity and independence? Does she remain true to herself with her decisions?
14. Victorine is filled with references and allusions to books and to writing. In what ways is the novel both telling a story and commenting on the importance of stories and novels in our lives? What is the importance of novels about women and far-off lands to Victorine? Who are her favorite novelists? Name some of the books mentioned. What is the significance of the references to writing—postcards, journals, letters, teaching the students to spell, and learning Chinese calligraphy?
15. Why does Victorine throw away the notebook of her journal entries after keeping it for so many years?
16. What is the significance of the abundant ocean and water imagery (the canals of Vendée, the Mekong River) in Victorine? What do the beach and the ocean represent for Victorine? What about the stuffed seagull?

I would not agree that the character's grandmother was 'remarkable'. I thought the main character of the book was selfish, for leaving her husband and children for a former lover and moving halfway across the club with him, where she went to parties and got drunk & high. It was interesting to read why she did the things she did, but I didn't feel I connected to the main character. It was an okay book to read for the bargain book price I paid for it.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

I thought this book had great potential, but it just didn't seem to quite make it to that place where one could definitely say this was a great book. I enjoyed the stark contrast between sceneries - France vs. Vietnam - though they have a long relationship with each other, it always seems a little hard for me to fathom that relationship. I enjoyed reading about the turmoil and indecision in Victorine's life that ultimately led her to leave her family in France and run off with her lover, but there just didn't seem to be enough emotional detail about what really attracted her to this man, unless it was nothing other than his good looks, and that's a pretty fickle reason to leave your entire family. I guess we're just supposed to infer that it really was several things that made her leave - her unhappy relationship with her husband, lust for her lover, and the fact that she was given the perfect opportunity to escape from everyone and everything she knew. After Victorine's return to her husband, it seemed as if the author just ran out of steam and was in a hurry to finish writing the book. The aftermath of all of this would have been just as fascinating as the 'beforemath' or 'duringmath'! Somewhat interesting reading, but not enough for me to really recommend it - if it's still a bargain book, go ahead and buy it. If you don't like it, you can always donate it to your local library, which is what I'm going to do with my copy.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

It was the largest of three forts in Wyoming and Montana along the trail. Its secondary mission was to prevent intertribal warfare. During its two year existence the fort figured prominently in the battles between the US Cavalry and the Sioux, Arapaho, and Commanche Nations.

space very nice, room clean and staff very courteous.
Beds, rooms and staff were clean and comfortable. Adequate parking.
Pool hadn't been running for a week per staff and breakfast was only ok
Gym was ok.
Well where to begin the guest book was filthy It looked like someone dipped there fingers in pizza sauce and touched every page. The shower took 20 mins to get hot water. I asked if a shuttle was available and was told yes but no one to drive it that nigh
Window views.
The tub and shower locations were to tight.
Location to hwy
Had to park 2 hotels over. Fridge was loud.
Not a big deal but the remote was very sticky and the toilet bowl was very dirty.
Hard wood floors in rooms, friendly staff, good location, plush towels
No bathtub, breakfast not included
We had a great stay! The staff were so friendly, the room so clean- loved the shower and the bed was amazing! Didn't want to get out of the comfy bed!! We will be staying here again when we come to buffalo!
Location and pool for Kids
yes. They tried putting us in a smoking room and when I explained they only had a handicapped room. I phoned before and requested a room on the second floor if possible and two double beds. They said they didn't but after I witnessed a walk up person
That i got to have a good night with my GF
That they told us we were gunna be in a smoking room and we werent, also there was no screen in one of the windows.
We come to this place for the hotel staff because they are so nice, and the pool/whirlpool!! Such a great time every time!
It was cleanish.
Tired 25 year old hotel that looks like it has not been renovated since it was built. None of the rooms have bathroom fans!! All that humidity and moisture is trapped resulting in musty rooms. Yuck!! Super long weird lobby that's faraway from the bui
remodeling of the room and decor were sleek and nice. clean. service was hospitable. It was decent.
little to no amenities. Literally it was just a place to shower and lay your head to rest. no temperature control in the room.
Clean sheets
Friendly staff
Quick cleaning services
It was comfortable and Tandy. I have stayed here before.
My bill was messed up. Apparently the check in clerk charged my credit card instead holding it for incidentals. I was already charged by a third party. The issued- to my knowledge, has nit been resolved as the night clerk, when I checked out was unable to correct the issue.
The breakfast juice was water- barely flavored at all. As a Floridian, I know what orange juice should taste like.
Was only there for one day. Room and hotel generally was clean and well kept. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Location is convenient to major roads and highways.
Minor irritants like broken TV connections to exercise cycles. Not much in immediate area of hotel. Was coldest day of year, and first floor room with large windows resulted in uneven room temperature.
The staff was very friendly. The room was clean. My shower was plugged and they unplugged the standing water without me even having to ask. Nice attached restaurant. Great food and service.
I was put on the second floor and there was no elevator! That's right. It wasn't broken.. It just didn't exist! I was working for the school district so every day I had to carry bags of books and computers up and down the stairs. The stairway on the way up was filthy. It smelled like dust mites and there was tons of built up lint in edges of every step.
Breakfast, an Bathroom. Location was good. Desk staff pleasant.
Cleaning staff changed all the time. Young men cleaning only put towels in room, and cleaned tub. Room never vacuumed, bathroom never moped. Back of entrance wall in room filthy,
old property, ancient air conditioner, very noisy.
Price of room to much for what it turned out to be. $39-49 should be the limit for tis place. Not as classy as the name employs.
Could not go any where else because you had my money.
You should send someone out to check these places before you them.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car hires can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.
More questions or if you have a bad price to report to us
Please send us an
and someone from our team will get back to you promptly.

Watch These Twins Babies Who Have Their Own Language — Daily Distraction
Maybe it's true that twins have special powers the rest of us lack.

See who had the offending message in their front yard.
Much of the country got slammed by snow this past week, which means lots of us had to break out our shovels for the first time this season. For some, it didn't go so well.
Now I can scratch Base jumping off my bucket list. Not because I've done it, but because after seeing this video I think I'll pass.

Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticle Humidity Microsensors Integrated with Circuitry on-a-Chip

Abstract: A humidity microsensor integrated with a readout circuit on-a-chip fabricated using the commercial 0.18 μm CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) process was presented. The integrated sensor chip consists of a humidity sensor and a readout circuit. The humidity sensor is composed of a sensitive film and interdigitated electrodes. The sensitive film is titanium dioxide prepared by the sol-gel method. The titanium dioxide is coated on the interdigitated electrodes. The humidity sensor requires a post-process to remove the sacrificial layer and to coat the titanium dioxide. The resistance of the sensor changes as the sensitive film absorbs or desorbs vapor. The readout circuit is employed to convert the resistance variation of the sensor into the output voltage. The experimental results show that the integrated humidity sensor has a sensitivity of 4.5 mV/RH% (relative humidity) at room temperature.
