CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Quick quiz: Who won the 1979 Daytona 500?
The answer, of course, is Richard Petty.
But very few people - if any - equate that race with "The King" grabbing the sixth of his seven Daytona 500 victories.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Tony Stewart knocked Brad Keselowski from the pole as qualifying ended Saturday at Texas Motor Speedway.
Stewart waited right until the end of the final round to attempt his lap and circled the speedway at 195.
FORT WORTH, Texas - Tires remained the hot topic at Texas Motor Speedway, where NASCAR and Goodyear took the unprecedented step of discussing the compound selected for Sunday's race before a single lap had been turned.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - Will Power left a late dinner and headed out on foot through the downtown streets of St. Petersburg, where nearly every stranger he passed congratulated him on his win.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Kyle Larson was ninth on the final restart at California, with four rows of traffic to navigate in two laps in a frantic bid for the best finish possible.
Patrick, Stenhouse share spotlight
CHARLOTTE, N.C. - During the long rain delay at Bristol Motor Speedway, Danica Patrick encouraged the broadcast team to interview her boyfriend.
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Carl Edwards claimed a rain-soaked win at Bristol Motor Speedway, where weather wreaked havoc on yet another Sprint Cup race.
BRISTOL, Tenn. - There is no panic at Stewart-Haas Racing despite a sub-par start to the season that is tarnishing Tony Stewart's comeback from a broken leg.
BRISTOL, Tenn. - Denny Hamlin ended two weeks of Team Penske dominance by winning the pole at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Hamlin set a track record Friday with a lap at 129.991 mph to earn the top starting spot. It broke the mark of 129.

I've got big chunky hostas that have never been troubled by slugs before, but this year they're quite lacy in places.
I think the thing is that after last winter (or rather the lack of it) slugs have increased in size and number - hopefully we'll get a proper winter this year and it will reduce them to more manageable proportions.

10 years ago I had Comcast internet and really liked it but when I moved Comcast wasn't available in my new neighborhood and I had to go with DSL. For the last 9 years I've had DSLExtreme 3000/512 DSL service. I've been needing more speed and was on the fastest service DSL could provide me. Enter Comcast.
I have a home office, actually 2 since my wife also has an office in our home. I need static IPs for my servers so Comcast residential was out and I had to get Comcast Business Class. My understanding is that the business internet connection is the same as the residential connection. The difference being that you can get static IPs, there are no bandwidth caps, support is supposed to be better and you get some business goodies like free MS Outlook 2007, free webspace, free domain name.
When I made my first call to Comcast Business inquiring about service they tried a hard sell on their VOIP phone service. I was actually ready to sign up then but they got me researching VOIP services to see if theirs was worth getting. Their "deal" was $25 a month for Comcast Voice service. It's big plus is that it runs separate from your internet so that big downloads won't affect voice quality. I ended up signing with VOIPo.com for about $7.50 a month. Comcast Voice is just too expensive.
I choose their basic 12000/2000 service for $60 a month. I wrangled 5 static IPs for $10 a month and got hit with a $5 equipment rental. I paid $99 install with a 2 year contract. I could have got the install for $49 with a 3 year contract and while I will probably keep the service that long I hate being tied down, especially with all the new technologies coming down the road. I'm paying $20 a month more than I was for DSL but am getting 4x the speed!
I signed the contract on Monday and was told I'd be called to arrange installation. When no one had called by Wednesday afternoon I contacted my sales rep. and he got someone to contact me Thursday. An install appointment was made for 10-2 the following Monday.
The installer arrived Monday at noon and promptly went to work. I had already installed structured wiring (phone, ethernet, coax) that junctions in the garage. From there he tested each cable line running into the house and found one that was bad. I pulled the cable running from the wall to the TV and replaced it with one the installer cut to fit and all was well. He also determined that I didn't need the amplifier that had been installed in an attempt to fix a weak signal years ago. One less thing to be plugged in made me happy. I was given a SMCD3G Docsis 3 router/modem. I was glad to get this as most people with 12/2 service get a lesser model. The installer told me that they try and use the Docsis 3 modem on all installs even though they are not suppose to. The installer changed the hardware on both ends of the drop, at the house and on the pole. He also installed a little note on the line telling residential technitions not to disconnect the line as it has business service on it. I found it amusing that when he called Comcast to get my static IPs he was on hold waiting for an operator for quite some time. What does that say for priority business support? Once the modem was up and running the installer showed me all the line readings and did a speed test and showed the speeds with and without Powerboost. He handed me a sheet of paper with my network settings and was off. No mention was made of setting up any of my network. Once the Comcast modem/router working the rest is up to you. No residential hand holding here. Fine by me but some people may be surprised when the installer leaves without connecting their computer.
I've only been using the service for 3 days so far but the speed increase is very, VERY noticeable. I'm very happy. Plus, I am at the lowest speed tier. All I have to do is make a phone call and mail a bigger check for more speed. Until now I've been paying $60 a year for 3 Norton licenses. With Comcast Business I get 25 copies of Norton so that saves me $5 a month. I also get a free domain name and some web space which I will do some thing with.
So far I am very happy with my new Comcast service. I'll post updates if I have to use support for anything.
I've had the service a little over a week now and the main thing I have to say is, "Why didn't I do this sooner?" Speeds are as advertised even when PowerBoost is taken out of the equation. PowerBoost does skew the most of the speed test results.
www.speedtest.net/result/1472885 ··· 5855.png
www.pingtest.net/result/46584646 ··· 4646.png
Beyond being faster everything seems snappier. I click and bang web pages appear without the hesitation that I had with my DSL service. From pages on the web to my routers config. page, all are much quicker to load. It's not DNS because I've always used OpenDNS. I like it.
I've installed the Norton Business Suite on all my computers. It is a re-branded Norton 360 that comes with all the features of 360 except the cloud backup storage. You can still use the backup feature you just have to do it to a local disk. The software has many more features than the Norton Internet Security retail version I had been using. Upgrading was a piece of cake in that Norton gives you the option of saving all your settings when you uninstall their software so that they can be used when installing the Business Suite software.
Comcast gave me a welcome packet with a stack of business cards with their 1-800 support number on them. I taped them to all my computer equipment but haven't had reason to call yet. So far the service just works. I keep looking for things to complain about but can't find any. I should have something to complain about it is Comcast after all.
One place the service comes up short is Usenet access. Every ISP I've had in the past has included Usenet access. Comcast doesn't. I did find a free Usenet service that is almost as good as the one provided by my last ISP so I won't bitch too much about Comcast not offering it.
I've had my Business Class Internet for well over a year now and am still quite happy. A few months ago Comcast upgraded the speed from 12/2 to 16/3. My speed tests show that I am actually getting almost 20/4 speeds. I'm very happy with the speed I'm getting for the price.
I move lots of data and it is nice to not worry about bandwidth caps. What they are and/or if they are enforced or coming back.
I've read a number of bad reviews of the Comcast Business Class service because the people state that they didn't know they were locked into a contract that is expensive to get out of. My contract had varying installation fees depending on the length of contract you signed. You want a free install your locked in for 3 years. I don't know how you could miss that.
Unless something dramatically changes I'm planning on sticking with Comcast after my contract runs out.

My Other Reviews
I moved from Eastern Washington to the Seattle area and needed an internet connection. I had Comcast business previously, and save for some crappy SMC 8014 modems, it was rock solid. I gave them a call and they offered the starter 12/2 internet and phone service for 99$ a month and they would waive the $300~ install fee. The Sales rep did not mention the ETF, but I digress.
Now. Getting the service installed was a nightmare. I was supposed to get a callback in a day or two. Never happened. Sales rep ignored my calls and emails, save for one saying I would be called.
There was about 2 weeks to get it installed. Once the date was set it was great. The installers were very knowledgeable and professional, and were willing to work with my odd setup. (5th wheel trailer). They ran a new drop from the tap of the park, and installed the SMC 8014 modem and Arris EMTA, testing the speed. I am getting over my package because I am the only Comcast user on the node for my 300+ space park, maxing the 8014 at 20/5 at times.
The initial price was 99.95 a month, but Comcast offered me a 5$ discount when Verizon talked of rolling FiOS. I will be upgrading to the 27/7 plan very soon, and expect to see speeds up to 50/5, as I did on that plan with the D3G in eastern wa. The service has had one 2 hour downtime, and Comcast called me to let me know.
I use this as my primary connection in conjuction with a CenturyLink DSL connection, with a Firebox 550X hardware firewall, and it works great.
The Comcast DV has been great as well with the Visual VM, dial up modems sync great and fax works awesome.
My only gripe is the online billing system. It uses the xfinity site, and the Comcast biz portal and xfinity login are different.
Comcast also has no complaints of my usage or my hosting.
I will post a speedtest later this evening.

awesome to hear you are happy.
Thank you for the review. I just recently was hired as a business account manager in Connecticut..after years of being a technician in both coax and fiber services for another MSO in CT. I can honestly say I'm pretty proud to work for this company and can't get over the fact that everywhere I go people are generally pleased with our service!

When you sign the agreement, there is a link to a web site. So they say you are agreeing to what is on the paper you are signing *AND* whatever they have or put on the web page (how is this legal to have a contract be something as changeable as a web page?)
So then when you call up to cancel, they say "GOTCHA!!! WE ARE GOING TO CHARGE YOU FOR 60 DAYS!!!" and you say "Wha?" and they say "BECAUSE YOU SIGNED!!! YOU SIGNED!!! and you say "This simple document that says you are going to turn on service?" and they says "HA HA HA HA... you missed the web page link!!! It is 20 pages of stuff that is not actually in the contract you signed, but is on a web page!!! HA HA HA!!! SO PAY US FOR 60 DAYS".. and you say "But my service is off, how are you charging me for it?" and they say "HA HA HA HA HA"
Avoid Comcast Business Class... should be called Nigerian Business Class.

RE: Beware... Comcast Business...
This theme seams to repeat.. over and over again..
Getting nailed for just 60 days, which isn't as bad as it was before.. A couple of years ago, it was 75% of the outstanding contract terms.. for zero/nada service.
Here's what happened when I tried to get Comcast Business to live up to their verbal promises (about an undefined "specific performance" guarantee).
[Business] Commercial Users.. Beware Comcast's hidden contract t
oh.. be sure to check out the terms of service when you signed up.. Those are the terms you agreed to.. anything else changed later is not enforceable in court..

Re: RE: Beware... Comcast Business...
Something like a disconnect charge, that Comcast can cancel a service but they are going to still charge you for it, should be on the document you sign, not buried in a link on a web page.
Plus, the link that is on the contract you sign, doesn't even have the 60 text on it. That is another document that is linked to from that link. I'm not even sure a link to a page that then has another link to a totally different document is really part of a legal contract.
The fact is, they just need to be honest with people and not hide the fact that they are going to continue to take your money 60 days after you canceled. There just is no reason for it and I'm amazed it is legal.
Imagine if you switched electric companies and the previous company kept on billing you? Never would happen. How is this allowed to?

Dumb, just dumb
You really need to read stuff before you sign it. Really. Or get someone you trust to read it and look for problems.
Companies don't write contracts for YOUR benefit. You have nobody but yourself to blame if you agreed to a contract and didn't read it and all the stuff it incorporates by reference.
No sympathy at all.

If you're even thinking of signing on with Comcast Business Class, don't allow yourself to be swindled with a 3 year contract. I signed up with a Comcast Business sales agent and only needed internet for six months and when I went to disconnect was told I had to pay a $1,700 disconnect fee. The sales agent had put in fine print within the electronic Docusign contract 36 months. Not once did the sales agent ever disclose over the phone a disconnect charge or that I would be signing on for a three year contract. I'm still disputing the illegality of the charge. To say the least, I've lost all trust and confidence in Comcast Business Class and will never use or recommend their services to another business.

Why would you sign a contract before reading it?

Contract Length
Comcast is very upfront about the length of the contracts. They offer 1, 2 and 3 year options. Your "disconnect" fee is the balance of the 3-year contract you signed up for. You can move your service to another location without breaking your contract.

Contracts are important. Companies write them to favor themselves, not their customers, and you have to read them as an adversarial documents.
Unfortunately there are far too many long and complex agreements out there, particularly on the web, and most people can't be bothered to read them. But if there's some serious money involved you have to know what you are agreeing to do (or not do) so you have to spend the time to understand what's in the agreement. In this case, a casual reading of the agreement shows the length of the contract (I signed one after reading it).
I guess it's like doing backups - a precaution against something unexpected. Many people think backups are an unnecessary overhead and don't realize their value until they lose something important. Likewise, many people don't read legal agreements until they have a contract go wrong. In both cases, there's no substitute for experience.

I purchased 22/5 but routinely get double that (if not higher). Base price was $80ish/month but after taxes and a static up I'm just over $100. Seems a bit high, but considering how much we stream in this house (netflix, mlb.tv, apple tv, etc...often times more than 1 at a time) I'm ok with paying a little extra, especially given the reliability/performance of this connection.
The SMC/Comcast Business Gateway is a great device...the periodic connection drops I experienced in years past completely disappeared after this was installed.
The biggest plus to having a business account is the technical support. If there's a problem they'll send someone out asap, regardless of time of day. I've had people show up at midnight to resolve a problem. The local techs here are some of the best. They call the following day to make sure things are right, have given their cell numbers so they can be reached directly, I can't say enough about how good they've been.

"Rock solid connection, fast speeds"
"Much better than home service in my area"
Comcast Business Class is MILES better than their home service. I had 50mb down, cut back to 25mb with business to keep the cost around the same, but that's okay. The connection hardly ever goes down, except for occasional maintenance, which usually happens at night.
My brother always had issues with home service. Got him to switch to Business Class, and he's happy now.

We have moved locations and we are a home based business right now. At our old location we had a fairly good success. Now we are in our new location I am experiencing 49% packet loss from the modem, 33% packet loss from my second hop (22.214.171.124) 33% pack loss from my third hop and 54% packet loss from my fourth hop.
When I called Comcast to begin with I had an "engineer" tell me everything was fine and if I wanted someone to come out, they would charge me $99. Not only was he rude he wanted to challenge my engineering skills. He didn't want to see my logs nor hear about my setup. This went on and on until I finally escalated as high as I could go. I actually had an awesome field engineer come out and replace what he could, but I'm still stuck with this issue.
No idea what the problems are at this point but I cannot continue working this way. I'm afraid I will have to go with Century link and hope for the best. I'm very disappointed in Comcast. If you want to provide business class then understand you must support us as if this was your business.
This is the cost of having almost no competition, I have no real choice at this point in time.

I would question your skills too...
If you have packet loss to your modem, anything beyond that is irrelevant. Who cares if you have packet loss further down the line - of course you will have packet loss further down the line.
Sounds like another self-proclaimed know it all that the Comcast tech called BS on.

Re: I would question your skills too...
Wow Wirelessdog, you are SUPER helpful. The modem problem is new since the replacement of the old modem. They came and replaced the "new" modem and found out there was a line problem in two places.
But hey, take your A+ cert and go become one of them tech's. Good luck buddy.

I've had Comcast Business Class service since April of 2009. AT&T took their sweet time in providing faster DSL or Uverse to my area. I finally had enough of the almost 2Mb/512K service that should have been higher, which regularly lost sync, paid $15/month more, and had rock solid reliable 12Mb/2Mb service with access to better features, including 25 installs of Norton Internet Security for Windows OR Macintosh.
I don't like Comcast residential services; they are a horror to deal with. The business services are something completely different.
Very satisfied customer, and I thought it'd be a cold day in hell when I said that about any relationship with Comcast.

I ordered Comcast Business Class to replace my aged DSL line. I got the starter package 12Mbps/2MBps. I consistently test in the 25 to 35 rang on downlink and 4 to 5 on uplink.
VOiP phones work great and my streaming is wonderful. I am able to watch full HD on Hulu with no interruptions. I need to test Samsung Explore 3D for a real stress test.

I had Comcast HSI residential package for several years with no complaints. I recently upgraded to Comcast Business Class service because I wanted:
No monthly usage caps
Static IP's
Servers allowed
The price difference for the upgrade was reasonable IMHO...the speeds are faster than my residential service. I am consistently getting 30 Mbps down and 7 Mbps up...with 5 static IP's for $79.60 month...not too bad. Reliability seems great thus far...
After 1 year of trouble-free service...my Comcast Business class is now nothing short of terrible. I have daily outages...for the last 8 weeks...sometimes 3+ hours per day. I have had 4 tech visits, they have rewired and replaced all cable and hardware between my modem and the tap...no improvement at all.
Comcast customer support has given me many excuses for these issue...the latest was that there was a cable damaged by a construction crew nearby and it will take a month to get the required permits from my city engineer to fix the damaged cable. Well...I called the City Engineer and she stated that Comcast has no outstanding permits, etc.
So...at this point, my last hope is Comcast Direct...I am hoping that Comcast Steve can help me.
Update 08/24/2011:
I am still having daily outages on my Comcast Business Class service. Often times 3+ hours per day. Comcast has done nothing to help. I have had broadband since the old @Home days....in the early 90's...and this has to be...by far...the worst experience I have ever seen. Absolutely awful customer support.
I cannot run my business with this kind of service...no way...
Update 08/31/2011:
The infamous construction project was finally completed on 08/27/2011. My service has now been returned to normal. I have experienced no outages since.
So...in summary, my service was extremely intermittent for 10 weeks...with daily outages of 1-3 hours for both my phones and Internet. It appears to be repaired at this point, however, I just do not see how it could take over 2 months to repair service. Once again, this is not my idea of a "Business Class" service that I pay for.
It is nice to have it back, however, speeds are outstanding.
Update 09/12/2011:
Connection has now been rock-solid for the last 2 weeks...no outages whatsoever. Comcast has also now given me 2 full months of credit.
Although I did have major issues this summer...I still believe Comcast provides a great connection technology.
Update 12/12/2011:
Connection remains rock solid. Fast with low latency. I have ordered an upgrade to the 22/5 DOCSIS 3 business class speed tier which will be installed tomorrow.
I will review the new faster service in 30 days.
Update 12/16/2011:
I upgraded to the 22/5 service on 12/14. A new SMC D3 modem was installed and the old SMC 8014 was removed. The service is much faster. I am seeing 54 Mbps down and 8.5 Mbps up with PowerBoost. Sustained rates are now 25 Mbps down and 8 Mbps up...a real improvement.
So far...very pleased with the new tier.

North Korea was indeed responsible for the massive hack on Sony Pictures, according to officials from within the US government.

According to two unnamed sources, Sony is now using 'hundreds of computers' to perform a DDoS on websites where you can download the leaked data. Better yet, Sony is apparently using Amazon's cloud servers (AWS) to perform the DDoS. While I'm all for proactive security measures, Sony might be taking it a little bit too far here.

Dhabas are highway restaurants (and rest places) found all along Indian Highways especially in Central and North of India, they offer wholesome, simple food and extra strong chai with enough sugar in it to take the weary drivers until their next stop. The overall experience is so authentic that many dhaba styled restaurants have popped up in the cities although most fail miserably in offering an ambience or the style/quality of food. Shamuras is as close to a dhaba experience one can get in a city (although it is not not trying to be one). The ambience is basic and the food has all the robust indian flavours including the extra dollop of fat. The rotis/phulkas are hot, fully puffed up and is served continuously until one indicates a stop to the waiter. I am quiet sure that the owner has his masalas ground fresh and does not use commercial, ready mix short-cuts.
Do not let the non-descript exteriors turn you away, this property has a legendary past, it was once the famous Hotel Salisbury that had Africa's largest swimming pool, the dis-functional remains of which still exist. Shamura's one is not to be missed for anyone seeking an honest, authentic Indian meal that sans pretensions.

Asia Foundation Announces Appointment of Dr. Michael R. DiGregorio as Country Representative in Vietnam
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
San Francisco and Hanoi, February 7, 2014 — The Asia Foundation announces the appointment of Dr. Michael R. DiGregorio to Country Representative in Vietnam effective February 5, 2014.
Dr. DiGregorio comes to the Foundation with extensive professional and academic experience, having worked with a variety of governmental, academic, business, and international organizations in the country over the course of his career.
Most recently, Dr. DiGregorio served as a senior consultant on urban climate change resilience for the Institute of Social and Environmental Transition, the Vietnam Institute of Urban and Rural Planning, and the Vietnam Urban Planning and Development Association, primarily within the Rockefeller Foundation funded Asian Cities Climate Change Resilience Network. In this capacity he developed projects and strategies, conducted research, authored reports and journal articles, and presented research findings in international conferences in Asia, Africa, and the United States. In addition, Michael also collaborated with researchers at the East West Center and Hanoi University of Agriculture on a National Science Foundation funded study of relationships between landscape transformation and the spread of Avian Influenza.
From 2002 through 2009, Dr. DiGregorio served as the Ford Foundation's program officer for education, media, arts, and culture in Vietnam. In this role, he developed and managed two large initiatives aimed at renewing social science disciplines, and enhancing creative expression through media and the arts. In this capacity, Dr. DiGregorio developed and monitored $34 million in grants focused on the renovation of research and teaching in anthropology and sociology, revitalization of Vietnam's documentary and feature film industry, development of contemporary art for creative expression and public engagement, and preservation of rare and endangered arts and culture traditions. In his final year with the Ford Foundation, he was also responsible for the creation of a public interest media strategy for Vietnam.
Michael has also produced and directed three documentary films and was the creative producer for a recent Discovery Channel series.
Dr. DiGregorio has been honored for his work with numerous awards from the government of Vietnam and its institutes. These include, among others, distinguished service awards from the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Ho Chi Minh City, the Ministry of Education and Training, the Vietnam Folk Culture Association, and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, as well as the Bui Xuan Phai award from the Hanoi People's Committee.
Dr. DiGregorio holds a PhD in Urban Planning from the University of California, Los Angeles, a MA in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Hawaii, a MA in Southeast Asian Studies with a Major in Development Economics from Ohio University, and a BA in Theology from Central Bible College.

Forbidding outside temperatures aside, there are so many reasons to curl up with a great book. Readers meet a variety of fascinating characters and there's an empathy that comes from reading about different lives and experiences that carries over to the real world. They learn new perspectives and have vicarious experiences. Personally, I have no ambition to ever sail around the world, but I love to read books about those who do. Books can also create an atmosphere that oozes from the pages and there's just something wonderful about the lushness of great writing and the aha moment of discovering new words. Here are a few books that encompass all of these characteristics.
Here's a recent Book Match for Veronica Roth's Divergent. Want your own book match? Request one now!
Divergent by Veronica Roth
In a future Chicago, sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all. Followed by ...
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
As war surges in the dystopian society around her, sixteen-year-old Divergent Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves--and herself--while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
If you enjoy the dystopic setting, female main character and romantic aspects of these novels, here are some other titles you may enjoy:
Birthmarked by Caragh M. O'Brien
A fast-paced dystopian novel about a midwife who willingly turns over her quota of infants, until the night one agonized mother objects. In the future, in a world baked dry by the harsh sun, there are those who live inside the wall and those, like sixteen-year-old midwife, Gaia Stone, who live outside. Gaia has always believed it is her duty, with her mother, to hand over a small quota of babies to the Enclave. But when Gaia's mother and father are arrested by the very people they so dutifully serve, Gaia is forced to question everything she has been taught to believe. Gaia's choice is now simple: enter the worldof the Enclave to rescue her parents, or die trying.
Breathe by Sarah Crossan
In a barren land, a shimmering glass dome houses the survivors of the Switch, the period when oxygen levels plunged and the green world withered. A state lottery meant a lucky few won safety, while the rest suffocated in the thin air. And now Alina, Quinn, and Bea--an unlikely trio, each with their own agendas, their own longings and fears--walk straight into the heart of danger. With two days' worth of oxygen in their tanks, they leave the dome. What will happen on the third day?
The Compound by S.A. Bodeen
After his parents, two sisters, and he have spent six years in a vast underground compound built by his wealthy father to protect them from a nuclear holocaust, fifteen-year-old Eli, whose twin brother and grandmother were left behind, discovers that his father has perpetrated a monstrous hoax on them all.
Delirium by Lauren Oliver
They say that the cure for Love will make me happy and safe forever. And I've always believed them. Until now. Now everything has changed. Now, I'd rather be infected with love for the tiniest sliver of a second than live a hundred years smothered by a lie.
Feed by M. T. Anderson
In a future where most people have computer implants in their heads to control their environment, a boy meets an unusual girl who is in serious trouble.
Girl in the Arena: A Novel Containing Intense Prolonged Sequences of Disaster and Peril by Lise Haines
In Massachusetts, eighteen-year-old Lyn, who has grown up in the public eye as the daughter of seven gladiators, wants nothing less than to follow her mother's path, but her only way of avoiding marriage to the warrior who killed her last stepfather may be to face him in the arena.
Graceling by Kristin Cashore
In a world where some people are born with extreme and often-feared skills called Graces, Katsa struggles for redemption from her own horrifying Grace, the Grace of killing, and teams up with another young fighter to save their land from a corrupt king.

Pickled Garlic Scapes
Hope these taste good - we'll taste test in a couple of weeks.
I adapted a recipe on found on the 'Net which was adapted from the Food in Jars cookbook. The hardest part was choosing what kind of vinegar to use. So we steamed a scape and tasted it with apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar, red wine vinegar, and tarragon vinegar. The tarragon vinegar was good, but we wanted the scapes to be more flexible in recipes, so we went with white wine vinegar.
Pickled Garlic Scapes
Adapted from Food in Jars (original blog post at thegardenofeating.org)
Made 3 - 8 oz. jars
garlic scapes
1/4 teaspoon coriander seeds
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon dill seed
a pinch of hot pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns, cracked
1 cup white wine vinegar (7%)
1/2 cup water
1/2 tablespoon pickling salt
1. Trim the ends of the scapes, both the blossom end and the hard bit that formed at the original cut, and cut them into 3" lengths to fit in the jar.
2. Combine the vinegar, spices, water and pickling salt in a pot and bring to a boil.
3. Pack the trimmed scapes into the jar. Slowly pour the hot brine over the garlic scapes, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Once the jar is full, tap the jar lightly to dislodge any air bubbles. Check the headspace again and add more brine if necessary.
4. Wipe the rim, apply the lid and ring, and process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Let these pickles cure for at least a week before eating. Pickles will last for several weeks in refrigerator after initial seal is broken.
Mmm, those look good, malna! Have you eaten scapes before?
I tried garlic scapes this year for the first time, lactofermented with some dill. Wow! I was surprised at the HUGE garlic flavor.
When DH eats some of these, I do too...as a form of self-defense.

Hi: 10° Lo:-2°
By Steve Carpenter Friday 04 January 2013 Updated: 04/01 11:21
SKY Blues midfielder Franck Moussa believes he can improve as a player after putting pen-to-paper on a permanent deal with the League One club.
The 23-year-old had previously been on a rolling monthly contract when he signed on a short term basis back in September when manager Mark Robins took over.
And now Moussa has his sights set on helping the Sky Blues continue their push for a play-off spot.
"I'm really enjoying my football at the moment and I feel like I'm in a good environment to improve and develop as a player," said Moussa.
"It's a good opportunity for me here and I'm happy to be here and hopefully things can keep going well.
"At the start of the season the club wanted to look at promotion but the start wasn't great but we're starting to catch up a bit now so we will see where we can take it."
Moussa was initially out of contract when Robins brought him to the Sky Blues and his performances in recent weeks have impressed manager Mark Robins.
"He's a good lad and he's contributed greatly to the run we've been on and hopefully he will be with the club for a long time. He's still got things to learn but he is an honest, hard-working player who will get better and better and it's great to see the way the fans have taken to him and made him feel at home."

This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
New York's alt-rock outfit Born Cages thrives on creatively seeking freedom, whether it's in the studio or on stage. There's no rulebook or template, simply unhindered art in its purest form when Vlad Holiday [lead vocals/guitar], Amanda Carl [keyboards/backing vocals], Matt Maroulakos [bass guitar], and Dave Tantao [drums] converge. The band members each made their own imprint on the fertile New York scene before forming in 2011. Within their first year together, the band's self-released online demos stirred a major buzz - with NYC's most prominent rock radio station Q104.3FM giving them frequent airtime, and by sharing the stage with Guns N' Roses for two sold out U.S. shows. "The band name is a symbol for discontentment," reveals Vlad. "It's being unsatisfied with what you're given, but actually doing something about it." Born Cages' shared boundless mentality (a delicate alchemy of raw guitars and shimmering electronics) powers The Sidelines EP, their debut release for Razor & Tie.
Panic Years is an indie alt-rock band from Philadelphia, PA. Their past two EP's (Panic Years (2009) & Finally Today Is Tomorrow (2010)) have received critical acclaim as well as radio play on over 200 stations nationwide, charting #1 in over 30 markets. 2011 saw Panic Years share the stage with acts such as Naked and Famous, Airborne Toxic Event, Mae, Terrible Things, Jenny Owen Young, and Atomic Tom among others.
Panic Years recently wrapped up their first full national tour and will be playing select east coast dates in support of their new album, The Month's Mind, released June 2012.
