43 year old woman | Mantua, NJ, USA | Seeking men 38-50 within 25 miles
Active within 1 hour
It all starts with a simple hello...
I am an administrative assistant/receptionist for a very large construction company. My children are older (ages 17 and 21), leaving me with more free time these days, it would be nice to have a companion to enjoy that free time with. Life is all about trying new things, taking chances, living a bit outside of your comfort zone.... I'd love to meet a man who is active and likes to explore new places..... A hiking partner, a city street wanderer, a people watcher, a nice dinner companion, a beach lover, concert companion. I think at this age, we all have an idea of what we are looking for and can probably agree that it gets more difficult as we get older to find that elusive "one". We sign up for online dating sites, look at pictures, browse profiles, all the while hoping that if we do meet in person that there is some sort of connection that's worth exploring. So please send a message or a wink if you're interested. Life is too short not to explore possibilities. :-) I'm not fond of going on and on about myself in this forum, however I'd love to meet and have a fascinating conversation about what it is that makes us tick. :~) Here's a few tidbits about me..... I don't read books nearly as much as I should. Movie taste range from The Avengers to Gone With The Wind to the Hangover and everything in between. Love a great flick! There are a few TV shows I like to watch, but not many that I can't live without. I enjoy going to concerts, everything from small venues, to outdoor free events, to famous bands. Nothing beats a live show. Lately, I've been on an alternative style kick (radio 104.5 is a favorite) but my musical taste is all over the place, except for country, jazz, and classical. I have been told I am a picky eater, partially because I have a food allergy.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing cards , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports

Publisher's Description
If we follow media accounts, the continent of Africa may seem to be little more than AIDS patients, malnourished babies, child soldiers, and a failing attempt to imitate the West. Though Christians today are increasingly concerned about injustice and human suffering, their effectiveness in Africa is limited by only knowing this "bad news" and the trite, feel-good solutions sometimes bandied about in response.
Into the Mud takes readers below the headlines, into real stories of real people living neck-deep in some of Africa's most difficult issues -- but with hands, minds, and hearts rooted in God's kingdom. Each of the interwoven stories and related discussion questions addresses a broader issue of missions and development, including evangelism, literacy and education, microfinance, health services, urbanization and refugee assistance, and more. Reflection questions at the end of each chapter help readers to apply lessons from the chapters to their own ministry contexts.
Where the world sees despair, author Christine Jeske sees God writing stories of hope. Study groups, development students, mission teams, and everyday activists alike will be challenged by her stories to enter more deeply into the thick of life's mud.

- Author: Mitch Albom
- Format: Paperback
- Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group
- Published: 24 July 2003
Sorry, there are currently no sellers for this product.
Maybe it was a grandparent, or a teacher or a colleague. Someone older, patient and wise, who understood you when you were young and searching, and gave you sound advice to help you make your way through it. For Mitch Albom, that person was Morrie Schwartz, his college professor from nearly twenty years ago. Maybe, like Mitch, you lost track of this mentor as you made your way, and the insights faded. Wouldn't you like to see that person again, ask the bigger questions that still haunt you? Mitch Albom had that second chance. He rediscovered Morrie in the last months of the older man's life. Knowing he was dying of ALS - or motor neurone disease - MItch visited Morrie in his study every Tuesday, just as they used to back in college. Their rekindled relationship turned into one final 'class': lessons in how to live. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie's lasting gift with the world.

NETGEAR supports 'Zakat Fund' by supplying VPN solution valued at QR 270,000.
NETGEAR supports 'Zakat Fund' by supplying VPN solution valued at QR 270,000
Leading networking solutions provider enhances network connectivity between Zakat Fund headquarters and 10 field offices across Qatar
December 10, 2008
NETGEAR, a leading networking solutions provider, has announced that it has recently secured a QR 270,000 contract to implement a virtual private network (VPN) solution that will link the 'Zakat Fund' Headquarters to its 10 branch offices all over Qatar. Utilising its VPN Firewall routers FV538 and DGFV338, NETGEAR will implement the VPN solution using ADSL Internet services, thereby eliminating the need for costly dedicated link or static IP from the ISP. The company has also announced that the solution has been implemented within all 10 'Zakat Funds' branches, which will further enhance the communication and networking connectivity between various offices.
NETGEAR's comprehensive and affordable solution offers wired and wireless connectivity with business class protection for small office and remote/branch office users. The solution combines six functions in a single, compact package - Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, 802.11g wireless access point, IPSec Virtual Private Network (VPN), NAT router, an eight port 10/100 fast Ethernet switch and built-in ADSL2+ modem support. Easy and reliable, the DGFV338 delivers both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps connections for wired devices, plus wireless support at 2.4 Ghz frequency at 54 Mbps radio transmission with up to 108 Mbps in 802.11g (region specific).
"NETGEAR has delivered the ideal solution that satisfies the 'Zakat Fund's' need for a reliable networking link between its head office and its branch offices. Our solution utilises ADSL Internet services without static IP from the ISP in order to reduce the operation cost, which is a key consideration for the Zakat Fund as it is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing social services to the nationals and expatriates in the State of Qatar. Further, NETGEAR's VPN networking solutions offer dual WAN interface with redundancy, enhancing the quality of the service at no extra cost," said Salman Kaldari, Deputy General Manager, NETGEAR Middle East.
"NETGEAR also provides Network Attached Storage (NAS) Technology, a storage appliance which will enable SMBs to protect and share critical data, Switch ports with Power over Ethernet to transmit data and power over a single Ethernet cable to power and communicate with wireless devices, and Wireless Access Points for extending an existing Ethernet (wired) network to areas that cabling cannot reach or to provide easier connectivity for mobile staff," added Kaldari.
By adopting NETGEAR's networking solutions, the 'Zakat Fund' organisation enjoys a premium range of value-added services and protection. One of the products incorporated in the networking solution is the ProSafe DGFV338 SPI firewall, which acts as more than just a simple NAT router as it provides business-class protection by blocking unwanted users from accessing the network. On the other hand, support for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 Enterprise (WPA2) shields wireless communication with the highest available level of industry-standard encryption and authentication.
The solution also offers comprehensive controls that block or filter unwanted addresses, services, protocols, and URLs, fortifying the network, while up to 50 simultaneous IPSec VPN connections protect links between business locations, encrypting all traffic as it traverses the Internet. The DGFV338 is easy to set up and delivers all the advantages of centralised administration for remote offices, teleworkers and small businesses, including dynamic DNS capabilities. Providing support for ADSL2+, the DGFV338 also supports an Ethernet WAN port for failover on non-ADSL connections.
"We are excited to work with a market leader such as NETGEAR, who have provided us with a wide range of advantages that enable us to offer fast and prompt service to the community, and eliminating stationary. By delivering a central management platform for the operation of various online applications of all branch offices, NETGEAR has empowered us to speed up business processes, particularly those that used to take more than one business day to be completed. Moreover, the new networking solution has also greatly contributed to our aims of a paperless office, which is in line with our environmental conservation initiatives and reduces huge stationery costs," concluded Eng. Massoud Madany, Information Systems and Development Engineer, Zakat Fund.
NETGEAR offers affordable, reliable and easy-to-install security and software products, which deliver high performance for the benefit of small and medium businesses. The company specialises in delivering a wide selection of products grouped under the Ethernet networking, broadband and wireless networking segments. NETGEAR products include switches, adapters, wired and wireless routers, and gateways, which are designed to enable users to share Internet access, peripherals, files, digital multimedia content and applications among multiple personal computers and other Internet-enabled devices. 2008 Al Bawaba (www.albawaba.com)

Barring a surprise drop in November and December, travel and tourism tax collections in Fort Smith and Van Buren should end the year on a high note, and Arkansas' 2% tourism tax should set a new collections record.
The Compass Report is the only independent economic analysis of Arkansas' top three metro areas (Central Arkansas, Northwest Arkansas, Fort Smith region). The report measures four leading and four current economic indicators to provide a grade for a regional economy.
A key factor in understanding The Compass is in understanding the "grading" approach used to measure the current and leading economic indicators. The strategy is to place the most recent data in historical context. Average values for the percent change over the referenced time period were calculated, as were standard deviations for each measure.

This week in history: the birth of The Jandal
'The bloke threw such a jandal!' The only reason a bloke could throw a jandal (aka a tantrum), is because of Morris Yock of Onehunga. As legend has it, before the 4 October 1957, there was technically no jandal to throw. In 1957 Yock produced a version of the Japanese sandal in his garage and proudly named it… Read more »

As the object list develops and you start to examine what is known about the objects, a case builds up for inclusion in the show. This has recently been the case… Read more »

Checking in on David Wilson's status
April, 4, 2014
By Tom Carpenter | ESPN Insider
The New York Giants remain in a holding pattern when it comes to expectations for running back David Wilson, as he continues his lengthy recovery from neck surgery.
"All in due time with David," coach Tom Coughlin said. "Just pray. You're praying that he has a return to excellent health and that the doctors are totally convinced that he is recovered and ready to go."
Coughlin added that he plans to have Wilson for the 2014 season but noted that the running backs' availability is entirely in the hands of his doctors.

6-8 p.m. | The Fearrington Granary Gallery
Fearrington is lucky enough to have Betty Schabacker's work on display through November, and we are thoroughly enjoying the colors and textures that make up these paintings full of animals and abstract ephemera. My personal favorite, "Aslan," is a painting named of course for the majestic cat of The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe. And then there are the collages that bring to mind Betty's time in the southwest. Shades of oranges, blues, and greens that evoke the sunbaked desert that seems to have inspired her work.
See them for yourself. A reception to celebrate her work will be held on Tuesday, November 5th from 6-8pm. Stop by, enjoy a glass of wine, and take in the scenery. Learn more about Betty Schabacker by visiting her website: http://bettybschabacker.com/
Fearrington's wine program is delighted to offer 10% off six or more bottles of wine purchased at The Goat! Whether you ask The Goat's wine guru to mix and match a custom case, or you choose the bottles yourself, you'll enjoy wines from hand-selected producers at a great value!

Shelter Cove Respite
This is a beautiful, comfortable and spacious 1 bed/2 bath condo. The photos do not do it justice. Much thought went into updating with a roomy kitchen with granite and washer & dryer. I looked forward to watching sunrise either on balcony or in bed with my coffee. Highly recommend. Only negative was noise each morning from landscapers at Disney Resort across the cove.
Wonderful Pt. 4!!!
Even though I was traveling alone and only on the Island for 2 nights the thought of staying in a hotel never entered my mind. I love staying in this beautiful condo, and I love the graciousness of Elaine.This relaxing villa is always my first (and hopefully only) inquiry when I have plans to visit the Island. Thanks again Elaine for accommodating me on such short notice and for your one of a kind hospitality.

Halloween ideas
By Debra Scott
All Hallows Eve (Halloween) is quickly approaching and there is much to do to get ready. There is so much to do in the next two months: outdoor field trips, crafts that use your creative juices and party planning to name a few. When I was a kid, the build up to Halloween was half the fun. With today's pre-made costumes and everyone's busy days it takes a little more planning ahead but if we start now with some ways to build up to Halloween, we can build some great memories.

Defenders Call for Execution Moratorium
By Angela Hatton
Frankfort, KY – Kentucky Attorney General Jack Conway says it's time for Governor Steve Beshear to set execution dates for three state death row inmates. But another group is calling for a stay of all state executions.
The Kentucky Department of Public Advocacy is asking the governor to not sign any execution warrants until the American Bar Association finishes a review of the fairness, accuracy and reliability of Kentucky's system for imposing and administering the death penalty. The Public Defender's Office is also asking Attorney General Jack Conway to rescind the three execution warrant requests he issued today.
State Public Advocate Ed Monahan says since 1976, 50 capital cases have undergone exhausted review by the Kentucky Supreme Court and the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeal. Forty-two have been reversed. Monahan says the error rate over the past 33 years is unacceptably high and shows the system needs revision. He says many death row inmates have mental illness, had ineffectual lawyers, or had trials with serious errors that weren't corrected. All death row inmates are housed at the State Penitentiary in Eddyville.

We then made our way to St Ives where we had booked our last minute stay. It was right out the back up a tiny rural lane leading to some old farmhouses.

Down-regulation of Bcl-2 is mediated by NF-κB activation in Helicobacter pylori-induced apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells.
ABSTRACT Bcl-2 family is involved in the regulation of apoptosis. NF-κB activation is associated with either the expression of Bcl-2 or down-regulation of Bcl-2 depending on cell types and stimuli. Previously, we showed NF-κB activation, decrease in the level of Bcl-2, and apoptosis in Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)-infected gastric epithelial cells. The present study aims to investigate the relation of Bcl-2 expression and NF-κB activation in H. pylori-induced apoptotic cell death of AGS (gastric adenocarcinoma) cells.
AGS cells were transfected with mutant IκBα to suppress NF-κB activation or Bcl-2 gene to induce overexpression of Bcl-2. mRNA expression of Bcl-2, p53 and Bax, DNA fragmentation, cell viability, and the numbers of apoptotic cells were determined.
H. pylori induced decrease in Bcl-2, but increase in p53 and Bax at the levels of mRNA and protein in AGS cells. H. pylori-induced increment of apoptotic cells and decrease in Bcl-2 level were inhibited in the cells transfected with mutant IκBα gene as compared with the cells transfected with control vector. H. pylori-induced apoptosis determined by apoptotic cells, DNA fragmentation, and cell viability was inhibited in the cells transfected with Bcl-2 gene.
Down-regulation of Bcl-2 is mediated by NF-κB activation, which may be the underlying mechanism of apoptosis in H. pylori-infected gastric epithelial cells.

Article: (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate Protects against NO-Induced Ototoxicity through the Regulation of Caspase- 1, Caspase-3, and NF-κB Activation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Excessive nitric oxide (NO) production is toxic to the cochlea and induces hearing loss. However, the mechanism through which NO induces ototoxicity has not been completely understood. The aim of this study was to gain further insight into the mechanism mediating NO-induced toxicity in auditory HEI-OC1 cells and in ex vivo analysis. We also elucidated whether and how epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), the main component of green tea polyphenols, regulates NO-induced auditory cell damage. To investigate NO-mediated ototoxicity, S-nitroso-N-acetylpenicillamine (SNAP) was used as an NO donor. SNAP was cytotoxic, generating reactive oxygen species, releasing cytochrome c, and activating caspase-3 in auditory cells. NO-induced ototoxicity also mediated the nuclear factor (NF)-κB/caspase-1 pathway. Furthermore, SNAP destroyed the orderly arrangement of the 3 outer rows of hair cells in the basal, middle, and apical turns of the organ of Corti from the cochlea of Sprague-Dawley rats at postnatal day 2. However, EGCG counteracted this ototoxicity by suppressing the activation of caspase-3/NF-κB and preventing the destruction of hair cell arrays in the organ of Corti. These findings may lead to the development of a model for pharmacological mechanism of EGCG and potential therapies against ototoxicity.PLoS ONE 09/2012; 7(9):e43967.

Article: (-)-Epigallocatechin-3-gallate Modulates the Differential Expression of Survivin Splice Variants and Protects Spermatogenesis During Testicular Torsion.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The anti-apoptotic effect of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) during unilateral testicular torsion and detorsion (TT/D) was established in our previous study. In mice, the smallest inhibitor of apoptosis, survivin, is alternatively spliced into three variants, each suggested to have a unique function. Here, we assessed how EGCG exerts its protective effect through the expression of the different survivin splice variants and determined its effect on the morphology of the seminiferous tubules during TT/D. Three mouse groups were used: sham, TT/D+vehicle and TT/D treated with EGCG. The expression of the survivin variants (140 and 40) and other apoptosis genes (p53, Bax and Bcl-2) was measured with semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Histological analysis was performed to assess DNA fragmentation, damage to spermatogenesis and morphometric changes in the seminiferous tubules. In the TT/D+vehicle group, survivin 140 expression was markedly decreased, whereas survivin 40 expression was not significantly different. In parallel, there was an increase in the mRNA level of p53 and the Bax to Bcl-2 ratio in support of apoptosis induction. Histological analyses revealed increased DNA fragmentation and increased damage to spermatogenesis associated with decreased seminiferous tubular diameter and decreased germinal epithelial cell thickness in the TT/D+vehicle group. These changes were reversed to almost sham levels upon EGCG treatment. Our data indicate that EGCG protects the testis from TT/D-induced damage by protecting the morphology of the seminiferous tubules and modulating survivin 140 expression.Korean Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology 08/2013; 17(4):259-65.

Article: Caspase-3 is Involved in IFN-γ- and TNF-α-Mediated MIN6 Cells Apoptosis via NF-κB/Bcl-2 Pathway.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: TNF-α and IFN-γ are the major pro-inflammatory cytokines in the β-cell destruction. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. The present study used a murine insulinoma cell line MIN6 for further investigation of the effect of Caspase-3 on the cytokines-induced pancreatic β-cell apoptosis and analyzed the mechanisms involved in the activation of Caspase-3. It was showed that the combination of IFN-γ and TNF-α significantly reduced the viability of MIN6 cells and the observed cells growth inhibition was due to cell apoptosis as judged by the morphological changes under a confocal laser scanning microscopy and FACS assay of Annexin-V/7-AAD double staining. Accompanying with NF-κB activation and Bcl-2 downregulation, both the cleaved Caspase-3 and PARP, a known substrate of Caspase-3 in vivo, were observed at 24 and 12 h, respectively, after cells exposure to IFN-γ and TNF-α treatment. Pretreatment of Caspase-3 inhibitors remarkably attenuated IFN-γ- and TNF-α-induced cells apoptosis. Inhibition of NF-κB activation led to the increase in Bcl-2 expression, a significant attenuation in Caspase-3 activity, and an obvious amelioration in cells viability in IFN-γ- and TNF-α-treated MIN6 cells. Taken together, our results indicate that Caspase-3 is critical for the induction of MIN6 cells apoptosis and it's activation is further confirmed to be related to the NF-κB-mediated Bcl-2 downregulation, which may be the underlying mechanism of IFN-γ- and TNF-α-mediated MIN6 cells apoptosis.Cell biochemistry and biophysics 05/2013; 67(3).

Final Fantasy II
Is the prototype translation enjoyable, or should I get the fan translation?
Does it make that big of a difference?? Thanks!

The fan translation was very professional. In fact, the translations of FFV, FFII, FFIII over 1997-98 were much better, infinately better, than the translation Square gave FFV for its 1999 release on the PS1. I played it a few years after it came out, a few years before Square finally started releasing some of its unreleased games and I was impressed with how good it was. Sounded professional, no typos (I think there might be one in the entire game actually), clean, neat. These were the fan translations that really put the whole notion of fan translation on the map. Of course, with V & II, there was far more discord behind the scenes... At least it didn't show through in the final product.
I love the original 8-bit experience. Weakest of the NES 3 in terms of gameplay, but strongest of the 3 in terms of story. The gameplay experience powers the 1st game, the story powers the 2nd game (and following up the original, felt like a new map, a new world to explore and fight monsters on), a sense of adventure powers the 3rd game most (along with the great gameplay of playing all the different classes).
Thank you for the reply!
I recently ordered repro carts of the fan translation of FFIII and FFV. I also ordered FFII, but wound up with the prototype version. After doing a little more research, I went ahead and ordered a copy of the fan translation of FFII as well. I'll keep the prototype as a neat collectible, and play the fan translations!

Natl forest campground in Allegheny Nat'l Forest, about 4 miles north of Marienville. Easy to find. Nice remote, typical Nat'l Forest CG. Widely spaced heavily treed sites. Pretty flat, but not completely. Not all that long. Parking area wasn't a lot wider than our rig, either, and there are drainage ditches along both sides of many of the roads, so backing in takes concentration. I am blessed (?) with the trailer backing gene, even though I can't program my VCR, so we had little difficulty backing our 26' trailer in, but substantially longer rigs might not have it that easy. No hookups at all, of course. Good picnic table and fire ring. In late May, plenty of downed wood, but by mid-June that'll probably not be the case, and they're serious about NOT bringing wood in from outside the forest, even from elsewhere in PA. Emerald ash borer has struck western PA, so please help by complying with this rule! We camped on weekdays and except for the very pleasant host living by himself, we had the place entirely to ourselves! Nice hiking trails around the small quiet pond nearby. - Tom Seeley

Hanoi HotelsThe colorful and buzzing city of Hanoi is full of narrow, winding streets, where moped riders and cyclists zip around. Although traditional styles dominate most areas of the city, there's also a lot of modern architecture, with many large corporations trading from gleaming high-rise buildings. In-between these busy areas you'll find large areas of parkland where you can escape from the noise and enjoy the city's more natural side. Things to seeHoàn Kiếm Lake is central to life in Hanoi and is a great way to escape from the busy city streets. Along the banks of the calm waters, you'll find locals doing tai chi, souvenir stalls, and photographers taking in the natural beauty of the area. The Thang Long Water Puppet Theater offers a unique way to appreciate the traditional Vietnamese art of water puppetry. You'll see colorful performances backed by traditional music, and modern special effects to make an exciting show. The Dong Xuan Market is a covered market with distinctive pink, domed roofs. In this unique structure you'll find market stalls piled high with fruits and vegetables, racks of clothing, and carts selling enticingly spicy Vietnamese dishes. The Giang Vo Exhibition Center is marked by a giant red arch at its entrance, and inside you'll find indoor and outdoor exhibition space for corporate and private events. Many business travelers will also find themselves at Vietnam National Convention Center which has modern facilities and a wide range of conference spaces. You'll find a full calendar of events including seminars, exhibitions, performances, and parties, with the latest audiovisual equipment available.Hotels in HanoiIn the heart of the city you'll find many high-rise luxury hotels in Hanoi, and there are plenty of extra features such as outdoor pools, full-service spas, health clubs, and swim-up bars. Business travelers will also find extras which could include business centers, meeting rooms, car services, and concierge assistance. Guestrooms are comfortable and plush, with extras such as down comforters, premium bedding, LCD televisions, bathrobes, designer toiletries, and high-speed internet. If you want to save cash, there are some cheap, traditional hotels just outside the center, where you can get a comfortable room with basic amenities such as coffee makers, ironing boards, and microwaves. Where to stayThe Hoàn Kiếm district is home to the famous park, and surrounding the parklands you'll find hundreds of corporate and bank headquarters, as well as quaint shopping streets where locals zip around on mopeds. The Tay Ho (West Lake) area is also colorful and traditional, with the large freshwater lake serving as a focal point for the upscale bars, restaurants, and hotels in the area. Dong Da is a great district for shopping, with colorful storefronts and unique boutiques, as well as plenty of well-manicured parkland. How to get to HanoiHanoi International Airport is in the north of the city, about 45 minutes from the center. From here you can pick up a public taxi or book a minibus. There is also a regular bus that runs from outside the terminal, taking about an hour to get to downtown. Hanoi Railway Station is conveniently located in the center of the city, and from here you can get trains to most Vietnamese districts, as well as direct trains to Beijing and other areas of China. Hanoi Giap Bat Station is a major hub for many bus routes, and buses from around the country arrive here on a regular basis.

From there you can be at the base village or market in minutes or take the bus to Buttermilk and Aspen at no charge. The villa is 3 stories. The top floor has a queen and 2 singles with a bath.

C.S. Friedman Where to Begin
I know that some feel Friedman is hit or miss but I am willing to give her a shot. So my question is, where do I begin?
Should I try my luck with the Coldfire Trilogy or The Magister's Trilogy which I am hearing quite a few good things about. Or should I try something completely different from her.
Anybody feel like chiming in and telling me their pros and cons?
I bought Coldfire last year but the puppy discovered them and they became chew toys before I could read them.
I don't know much about Magister's Trilogy but Pat calls it a sleeper hit.
I would appreciate some feedback if possible.
June 22nd, 2011, 10:50 PM #2
I have Coldfire, but haven't read it yet. I know that Seak liked it, though. I have some other Friedman around here, but can't remember (or find the right pile), at the moment. Every time I have to pick a new book, or series, I do get stuck on Coldfire. That's a series that will definitely be read sooner, rather than later.
June 22nd, 2011, 11:40 PM #3
I only read Coldfire, for the Magister series I'm trying to be patient and waitt for all the books to be out.
Coldfire is one of my favorites. I know it has some issues with some slower descriptive passages and a weaker quest type plot in the first volume, but I was really attracted by the basic premise of a world where your nightmares become flesh and hunt you and I consider Gerrald Tarrant one of the best dark characters in an epic. The writing I found also good, and I liked the semi-philosophical debates that turned others off.

The only Friedman I've read is the first volume of the Coldfire trilogy. I thought it had good characters and good ideas, but poor execution. IMHO it could have been a really good book if Friedman had just turned over the characters, ideas, and plot outline to a better writer so they could polish it up for her. In fact I was kinda upset about the waste....

I have made multiple attempts at the Coldfire Trilogy, and read the first book of the Magister Trilogy, but could not sustain enough interest to continue. I love character driven stories, and i just did not find any one that interested me in either series.
But, imho, This Alien Shore is a sci-fi masterpiece.
EDIT: I also liked Madness Season.

I think she's one of the most overlooked genre writers. The Coldfire Trilogy is probably her best known work and as good a place as any to start. The series has a great, dark fantasy atmosphere, but is Science Fictional in its beginnings. I'd start here.[
The Magister Trilogy is her most recent series and might be just as good as Coldfire
However, if you want just one book to get a flavor
This Alien Shore is a terrific SF novel from about a decade ago.
In Conquest Born is also another moody novel set in the darkness of space.

I have only read the first book in the Coldfire Trilogy, the _only_ series I have ever started that I havent finished, the ideas behind the book were good, the Hunter is an awesome character, the only downside to the book was that three main characters were so so so so so boring.
I would give it a go though, see what you think.

I've read all of her works. I started with the first book of the Coldfire trilogy, that's as good a place as any. She's a bit of an odd author in that she has no bad books, so choose any one that catches your interest.
Her stories build up slow, but never lose momentum.

I read the first 2 books in the ColdFire Trilogy. I thought they were ok at best. There wasnt anything terrible about them but there was also nothing that really set them apart either in my opinion.
I felt the first one was better than the second./ I had a hard time finding the motivation to finish the series or care what happened.

The Coldfire series is the worst series I have ever read. Saying that I always encourage people to make their own decisions. If I never read it I would always wonder about it. The premise and characters are interesting. The author just dropped the ball in my opinion.
June 25th, 2011, 12:11 PM #12
Beware of spoilers, but that's a thread i made about coldfire. The story is riddled with plot holes. The characters are really bland. I agree with a lot said here, the idea could have been really cool. Which is why I started the book. But I could careless about any of the characters. Here's one thing i said.
"What I liked... The world. The Fae. How humans react to both. I love how species in this world evolve in such a short amount of time. A really good concept, cool world. What seems to be an unlimited potential for power that this Fae can offer. Gerald Tarrant is a cool character. A good idea for a story"
"Characters are boring. Besides "The Hunter", the rest are meaningless and I could careless if any of them died. The plot to the story is very thin. The plot seems contrived. It's supposed to make you feel bad for a certain character, but it's really just a selfish quest. And half of it makes no sense, and the only reason it's there is to have plot at all. There's also a lot of fluff I've noticed. I know a lot of authors do this. But there's so many paragraphs where they just explain minute details that are meaningless. Call it world or character building, but it helps neither...and just adds to word/page counts.
I rarely don't finish a series. And I didn't want to read book2 after reading book1. But I gave it another shot. And it failed miserably. I have yet to read book3, and I doubt i'll ever waste my time doing so.

Another vote for bland with boring characters in regards to Coldfire.
September 30th, 2014, 03:29 PM #15
Resurrecting this thread as I'm almost done with Book 1 of the Magisters trilogy. Reading some of the above comments shocks me. How anyone can think Gerald Tarant is BORING or Bland.... I guess we just have completely contrary taste. I found him to be understated for sure - but that's what made him dangerous and exciting and 3 dimensional to me. I loved the feel of Coldfire and I'm starting to feel the same with Colivar in Magisters. I'm not a big quest action chick. I like character and if you have dialogue that seems AT ALL trite and simple to me, the book will be closed and tossed. I like long descriptives and characters that fit no mold and things that are darker and drawn out. So I'm a huge fan of hers. Just my two cents. Really enjoying Book 1 of Magisters so far....
