Absolutely. The story is riveting. The character of Meg and her interactions with the predators surrounding her are particularly engaging. The narrator's performance feels unforced and makes this the kind of audiobook experience that showcases the medium.
The Daughter of the Blood has a similar predator-interaction bent.
I have not.
It made me tear up once or twice, but I don't remember truly crying. I know I smiled a great deal.
It kept me up at night and I listened clandestinely at work. This book is addictive.

BEDFORD, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/27/12 -- EnterpriseDB, the leading worldwide provider of enterprise-class Postgres products, Oracle database compatibility solutions and add-on tools for PostgreSQL, today announced the release of Postgres Enterprise Manager 3.0. The new release allows database administrators (DBAs) to easily access and monitor their databases from an Internet-enabled device. It is part of an expanding suite of Postgres tools from EnterpriseDB aimed at supporting the growing numbers of companies adopting Postgres, including community PostgreSQL, and seeking ways to manage and optimize their deployments.
Postgres Enterprise Manager was embraced early on by DBAs responsible for large Postgres deployments, as the tool gave them access to database administration functions in a single console. Building on the successful launch of Postgres Enterprise Manager that has generated more than 5,800 installations, the newest version provides new levels of flexibility in monitoring, managing and tuning database performance and query speeds.
"Postgres users, both our customers and those using the open source community version, are calling for add-on tools that help them manage expanding deployments across mission and non-mission critical applications. Postgres Enterprise Manager plays a vital role in supporting the end user," Ed Boyajian, CEO and President of EnterpriseDB, said. "Our family of Postgres add-on tools are making it possible for more enterprises to adopt Postgres by giving DBAs the kind of visibility and flexibility they need to manage large complex deployments and even smaller, single uses."
In a nod to the growing legions of companies of all sizes that have turned to the open source community version of PostgreSQL, EnterpriseDB is offering a year-end incentive for the new version of the Postgres Enterprise Manager. The popularity of Postgres is rising significantly with estimated downloads of Postgres and associated components exceeding five million over the past year. Postgres Enterprise Manager 3.0 is also included in the new Postgres Plus Advanced Server 9.2, also released today.
New Features for Postgres Enterprise Manager
Postgres Enterprise Manager 3.0 includes several new capabilities and feature enhancements, such as:
Web Client: A new web client provides DBAs with access to their monitoring dashboards and tools from many Internet-enabled devices. Using a web client means DBAs no longer have to download the local client component of the enterprise console onto multiple machines, saving time and giving DBAs the flexibility of anytime, anywhere access.
Log Manager: DBAs can do bulk configuration of logging parameters (log file locations, logging frequency, log message selection and log format) across all servers in the enterprise and view the information in a consolidated dashboard.
SSH Tunneling: With secure shell (SSH) tunneling, EnterpriseDB has eliminated many of the manual and troublesome tasks for accessing on-premise databases behind the firewall.
pgAdmin 1.16 Capabilities: Built on top of the open source pgAdmin, Postgres Enterprise Manager 3.0 incorporates key new features developed in the open source community, including support for PostgreSQL objects Range Types and Security Labels, as well as major new features such as the data Import Wizard.

The reason why I'm writing this review is not to be like

(even though that's my reaction c;)
but seriously.
I've seen you put a LOT of effort into your Henry Canon. (or should I say Henry Cannon leedle)
The truth is, How your future animations, (Breaking The Bank, Infilitrating the Airship, Stealing the Diamond.)... You've done a lot of effort in your VERY first. Their may not be a way to succeed, but...
at least there's a way to fail. 6/5
Thanks for the kind review! :) Makes me really realize how far everything's come.

Neighbor's Fence Being used as Retaining Wall
I need some outside opinions...
I lost my home due to Hurricane Sandy. I had 5 feet of water in my one story house and foundation damage. We JUST knocked the house down the end of June, and are rebuilding.
I have a nasty, nasty neighbor, who I honestly cannot stand to look at. Her house was new construction, high enough, and took no water during the storm.
Well, needless to say, I was, and still am, out of my home. About a month after the storm, my neighbor replaced the 6 foot fence between our two backyards, and put in a new 6 foot pvc fence with a 12" white spacer below...making the fence 7 feet tall. She then proceeded to have an inground pool put in, and decided to landscape it with BOULDERS, trees, dirt, mulch, bushes, etc. (Wait, let me rephrase that..she finished her inground pool. 2 days after the storm she had the pool company blocking the roadway and digging for her inground while the rest of the block was cleaning out their destroyed homes, throwing their lives away).
Her property is one solid foot higher than mine. And on her side of the fence there is about 3 feet of stuff (boulders, dirt, plants, trees, bushes, mulch) piled up. NO RETAINING WALL WAS EVER BUILT. The fence is 6+ months old and is now bowing into my backyard. I have an almost 4 year old. Where the fence is bowing is where his swing set went before the storm, and will be returning after we move back home.
Should I be concerned that her fence will blow out? Do I call the town and report her? I would nicely say something to her, but she won't give a damn. She's the kind of neighbor who does whatever she wants at everyone else's expense. And she doesn't give a damn about her own three kids, so I know she won't care about mine.
Suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Hmmm, this is definitely a problem. I would call your city building permitting office and ask them about it. Depending on your local regs, it's possible she needed a permit for the pool, and if she didn't have one, they'll take a serious interest. If she did, either they didn't inspect it or she did improper work after it was closed out. There is some chance that they can order her to fix it, but I wouldn't count on it. Still it's the first place to start. They can tell you what your options are.
After that, you may end up having to take her to court. You would have to show that there was damage to your property or cost to you, in order to win any kind of settlement or force her to fix it.
Of course, you could go out and remove anything that slumps over onto your side. :-]
If the dirt is up against the plastic fence, I would think it will be cracking before long. Can you move your kids swings few ft. out into your yard? Doesn't sound like someone you want to mess with. I just saw warnings out here that these fences are very flammable so keep your firepit, BBQ or any other flames away from the fence. It may split open soon & then they will have to take care of their problem. Might take pics & if it is moving into your yard then contact the city, if it is cracking & splitting might just give way before you get back in your home & you can say, oh, so sorry to your neighbor!!

Russia hand debuts to seven players, draw with Kazakhstan
MOSCOW -- Fabio Capello's experimental Russia side, with seven uncapped players making their debuts, drew 0-0 with Kazakhstan in a friendly on Tuesday.
Capello rang the changes after just one win in Russia's last eight competitive matches, not including Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Montenegro, which was abandoned after crowd trouble.
Russia dominated against their less illustrious opponent Kazakhstan, but created few clear-cut chances.
The best opportunity to score came on 27 minutes, when...

MOSCOW -- The Russian Football Union has appointed its first dedicated anti-racism official in an effort to crack down on discrimination ahead of the World Cup.

It was not immediately clear what powers have been given to Tolkachev, who already deals with racism as the RFU's head of safety and fan outreach.

Lower portion of raspberry bush turning yellow
Hi Gardenweb! This is my first time posting as a new member, but I've been reading these forums for awhile now! Today, I need some expert opinions on whether my poor raspberry bush is dying. The lower portion of my plant is looking droopy, sad, and yellow. some of the leaves have some holes. I don't know if it is damage from when we were planting it last weekend or if it's not doing well. I think I have clay soil and prior to planting it, I used Amend soil, peat moss, cow manure, some potting mix and mixed it around in the home I dug for it.
Please help!
This post was edited by thelostchin on Mon, Mar 25, 13 at 12:16
If the soil is clay, you would be better off planting the raspberry in a raised bed or at least mound the soil to allow the roots to set higher for better drainage. I killed off several raspberries until I figured that out but my soil is nearly all clay, so it was a requirement. You can test the drainage by digging a hole of equal depth and pouring water in until it pools. If it takes more than a few hours to drain, then wet soil could be an issue.
Chlorosis, iron deficiency, can also cause yellowing of the leaves. You can add back in the iron to correct the problem.
And the final answer is soil pH. If the soil is too acidic or too alkaline, you could end up with sickly plant. You can test it and then amend it as necessary to get to the range for raspberries(about 5.5 - 7 pH).
Thank you for your response.
Even though I added amend, manure, peat and potting soil, you don't think that is enough?
The top of the plant is still putting out new growth, though. Does the plant look like it may die even though the top is still putting out new growth?
Your plant looks fairly mature, perhaps 1-gallon potted plant? If you kept the root ball and dirt intact in the transfer, then the iron and pH issues probably aren't going to be an instant issue. How much did you water it? You can also get yellow leaves from over watering too (as well as under watering)?
bamboo_rabbit: I think I have clay soil and prior to planting it, I used Amend soil, peat moss, cow manure, some potting mix and mixed it around in the home I dug for it.
ABz5b: Thanks! Are the pictures looking like I over-watered? It gets quite warm where I am (Southern CA). Where are you located? How often should I water?
During the summer I water 2 times per week. anything more than that and I start having the yellow leaf problem that your plants are showing. It absolutely could be iron or a few other things. But i know ive had that exact same problem when overwatering mine. Summer here is 90ish or so degrees.
Dont let the soil get bone dry. But do not let it get soaked. They are prone to several soil based diseases as well. You will notice you are underwatering the plant when the top of the plant starts to droop over. Pretty noticable :)
If those are the original leaves from when you purchased the plant I wouldn't worry. All the leaves since transplant look healthy and are adapted to the sun/conditions where it is planted. The original leaves are not.
Plant looks good! Don't baby it but don't neglect it :)
I would back off on the watering and see if it gets better. If your soil is clay, even with your soil amendments, that extra water could be pooling up around the roots. It doesn't take long before the roots will start being damaged and the plant will be a goner. Certain varieties are better at dealing with wet soil. Which variety did you buy? I found heritage raspberry to be unforgiving of wet soil.
Way too early after transplant to worry about a few yellow lower leaves.
Don't water unless the top 2 or 3 inches of soil have gone fairly dry.
If you amended just the planting hole, the original canes will do fine, but when future new canes spread outside the original hole, you may develop a root rot problem if your soil is truly clay-like.
