"Engrossing, but unsatisfying"
Although I couldn't wait to get back in my car to continue listening to this book, I couldn't figure out why I didn't feel any satisfaction each time the characters solved a piece of the puzzle. Now I look back and realize that too many of those solutions were simply "flashes of insight" or "revelations" coming out of nowhere, but of course only at really opportune times. I had placed Dan Brown's earlier book, Digital Fortress, on my Audible wishlist but now I think I'll pass....
"I wanted to like this book based on the reviews..."
Tighter editing to cut it by at least 30%!
Confusing when characters were sometimes referred to by their first name and sometimes by their last name.
Daydreaming while listening to the endless sections of Emma's innermost thoughts. And I'm not even a guy.
This is comparable to a chick flick ... appealing to some, but not to me.
"Another fun listen, but an A- read and a B+ story"
This series is perfect light entertainment! It's the only one where I've immediately downloaded the next book in the series rather than alternating with other genres or, heaven forbid, a more "literary" book. I've rated all of them 5-stars except this one for several reasons --
1) In several places, Katherine Kellgren makes Georgie sound like Belinda ... for the first time in the series, which only serves to accentuate how good she normally is at breathing different personalities into each character.
2) I lost some respect for Georgie, who is such an independent and grounded young woman, when she starts to seriously consider the existence of vampires and werewolves.
3) Why would such a no-nonsense young woman as Georgie suffer as incompetent a maid as Queenie, no matter what her other character strengths? Not very believable, but I'll read on to see what Rhys Bowen plans for Queenie.
Despite these compalints, I highly recommend the entire series! (BTW, I find listening at 1.25x via the Audible app to be perfect.)
"But Jim Dale was wasted on this book"
I fell in love with Jim Dale after hearing his absolutely amazing narration of the Harry Potter novels where each of the 20 or 30 characters had a distinct and identifiable voice. (No, not available through Audible.) Night Circus was a very enjoyable listen, both in plot and reading, but I was terribly disappointed that there was so little dialog for Jim Dale to work with. Way too much exposition ... not a good fit for Mr. Dale's remarkable voice talents.
"Unexpectedly engaging"
Half an hour into the book, I thought "how can there be enough material for an entire book?" Twelve hours later, I was disappointed there wasn't more.
"Just not interesting"
I totally agree with Garrison Keillor in his NY Times Book Review (12/19/10) -- it's a "dreary meander of a memoir." I wonder how many people who put this book so high on the bestseller list actually read more than a few chapters....
"SO-O-O-O-O slow and plodding"
Several years ago, I discovered The Beekeeper's Apprentice and voraciously listened to the first 8 Mary Russell books in quick succession, but gradually lost interest with the increasing theological ruminations and weird religious sects. Still, I felt that I had to finish the entire series and soldiered on. After a break of a few years, I picked up again with The Language of Bees and I have to say that I am SO disappointed and can barely remember why I enjoyed the first few in the series so much. In The Language of Bees, both the writing AND the reading of is unbearably slow and I find my mind continually wandering. Thank goodness my car player has a Fast setting so I can listen to it at a near-normal conversational tempo!
"Neither engaging nor informative"
This book tries to be both a mystery and a commentary on a barbarous wartime atrocity and, to me, it succeeds on neither score. (If you're interested in the latter, I highly recommend Iris Chang's "Rape of Nanking" instead.) The primary female character is an interesting person, but in a clinical, curious way, never evoking any real empathy for her or her quest. The back story involving the primary male character simply dragged.
As for the narrators, I appreciated their dramatic readings but was appalled at their total mispronunciations of Chinese, which detracted from their credibility and authenticity. Surely the producers could have provided an hour of coaching! One basic example -- "chi" (or perhaps it was spelled "qi," which isn't clear in an audiobook, of course) should be pronounced "chee" but the female reader pronounced it "key." When I think of how a native-speaking reader can transform an audiobook with the nuance, rhythm and intonation of even sparsely scattered foreign words -- just think of "Life of Pi" or "Kite Runner" -- I was sad to think of how rich this audiobook experience COULD have been.
"Unexpectedly fascinating"
I bought this book during Audible's summer $5.95 sale (I guess "sales" do work!) and was unexpectedly drawn into this far-ranging history of the discovery and development of sulfa drugs. The author does a terrific job of providing details about the personal lives of the characters so that they're three dimensional, and descriptions of the social/politic environment so that their scientific work is placed in a historical context. I would have given it five stars except that I really disliked the reader -- his overly-dramatic reading actually detracted from the book. I especially disliked how he draws out the final word of each sentence into a falling cadence, changing the final syllable of the final word into two syllables. (Sorry, can't describe it more exactly.) End result is that he continually sounds patronizing and bored.
"Disappointing reader"
My 11-year old son and I have enjoyed this fast-paced series -- great light listening! Unlike previous books in the series, though, this one is read by Simon Jones. We thought he was spectacular in the Bartimaeus Trilogy and very good in the Lion Boy series but were disappointed with his reading here, particularly of younger children and the women. His falsetto just sounds too fake! We still enjoyed the book, but for a really GREAT listen, try the Bartimaeus Trilogy!
"Great story, great (hidden) lessons"
I listened to this with my 10 year old son driving to/from summer camps, and we both wished the drive were longer! He loved the story, a "rags to riches" plot as another reviewer notes where the main character gradually discovers and draws upon his unknown talents and core beliefs to become rich and important, but above all, someone who "does the right thing."
But please don't think that this book hits you over the head with the "do the right thing" message! When my son and I described the book to my husband and I commented how much I liked both the story AND the message, my son asked, "What message?" Still, it's a sign of a well-written book for children or young adults in my mind -- look at Harry Potter, even look at Disney's Beauty and the Beast -- when any message is submerged in a good yarn. I highly recommend this very well read book for ages 8 and up!

Lance Briggs (Chi-LB)
Lance Briggs has drawn interest from the Cowboys and Bucs
Briggs also met with the 49ers today, but has also received interest from Dallas and Tampa Bay. San Francisco seems like the most logical suitor for Briggs, as it is near his hometown and they are in desperate need of linebackers. Briggs was a force in Chicago during his entire 12-year career and teams still believe he has some left in the tank. -- Fantasy Alarm
Hanley Ramirez (Bos-SS)
Farrell said the goal is to have Hanley Ramirez in the 4-hole whenever possible
Ramirez is expected to be a pivotal force in their lineup, which is exactly why they gave him that hefty contract. Ramirez is leading the team in RBIs this spring and he could be on his way to a nice fantasy season. The fact that the shortstop position is so thin, his positional eligibility and his great spring will force many owners to draft him as high as the middle of the second round. -- Fantasy Alarm

Ariza Provides Loaded Stat-Sheet in Loss
The long-distance sniper had a rough night from the field, including missing the game-tying shot that dropped the Rockets to defeat. He's hit multiple three-pointers in four straight games, but is shooting only 34% from down-town. The best part is that he has been consistent in rebounding department, with at least five in nine straight games. -- Fantasy Alarm

Ave Maria! Fiddleback chasubles and Franciscan sandals come together in the extraordinary form of the Mass (Traditional Latin Mass) at Our Lady of Guadalupe Friary of the Franciscans of the Immaculate. The video is put to beautiful music from the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate, our sister order. The music was recorded in Italy and is a fine testimony to the high quality of their music program which, combined with the friar's, is playing a major part in spearheading the liturgical music reform in Italy. +++

She creates chic everyday looks that are complete with vibrant hues and sleek accessories. We just can't get enough! We asked Thamarr to tell us a little bit about her OOTD and adored what she had to say.
OOTD: Nautical Flair
Spring is almost here and we've been daydreaming about strolling along the boardwalk and spending long days at the beach with sparkling turquoise waters and bright golden sunshine. While the weather is still a bit too brisk for the beach, we decided to channel warm, sunny days with touches of nautical flair.
Whether you want to add a little or a lot, these all-seasonal retro nautical pieces will brighten up any ensemble from the office to an evening out on the town.
Keep the chills away with our lightweight and cozy Turquoise Embroidered Anchored Cardigan. Soft with a hint of stretch, you can toss this cardigan over your favorite jeans or a pencil skirt for instant va-va-voom! Style with the Navy Sally Swing Skirt, for the perfect mix of classic 1950s style and maritime poise. Simple and sophisticated with a fitted waist and cream ribbon detail at the hem, complete your look with the Silver Anchor Stud Earrings for work-appropriate vintage style.
For subtle nautical touches, accessorize with the Navy Hold Fast Bowler or the Black and White Galley Ho Anchor Wallet. Perfect for stashing all of your essentials, this wallet/purse combination is cute, durable, and oh-so pin up chic. What's not to love? Of course, no look is complete without the perfect pair of shoes. Kick up your heels with the Turquoise and Polka Dot Elanor Pumps, these darling shoes feature a gathered velvet peep toe and complementary black and white polka dot ankle strap and heel.
For more retro nautial-inspired looks, sail on over to our pin up clothing section.
OOTD: Spring Florals

A timeless classic, this divine little dress is perfected with a demure tie neckline and flattering A-line skirt. We are ready to brighten up our winter wardrobe and get ready for spring with soft, pastel hues and painterly floral prints.
The Baby Pink Sparkle Gambler Tote is the perfect shoulder candy to complement the Floral Divine Dress. Complete with retro quilted accents and a metallic glitter finish, this little retro bag will light up any ensemble with a beautiful touch of shimmer. Finish the look with the sleek and sculptural Cream Ruffle Peep Toe Lolita Heels and the Pink Ruffle Reader Glasses for a pop of pink.

John Aikins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John Somerset Aikins (1850 — May 5, 1911[1]) was a realtor, financier and political figure in Manitoba. He represented Rockwood from 1879 to 1883 in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as a Liberal-Conservative.
He was the son of James Cox Aikins and was educated at Upper Canada College and the University of Toronto. He came west in 1875, settling in Winnipeg in 1879.[1] With his brother James Albert, he was involved in the operation of the Manitoba and North West Loan Company, which had been established by his father.[2] In 1887, Aikins married Abby Lemira, the daughter of Charles Carroll Colby. He served as a director for the Winnipeg General Hospital. Aikins died in Winnipeg.[1]

Love the bathroom and it just located at Shinsaibashi, perfect to go shopping anytimes. Room is clean and comfortable! The service is good and all speck english. Definately come back to this hotel for my next visit!
This was our 2nd stay since Oct14. As we ve stayed before so we knew the location , hotel etc. We booked it early 3 months before hand to get early bird offer which turns out very good. We managed to get rates around U$ 110 per night for Superior Double room. Check in was smooth and quick. Staffs are...
It's impressive & superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cozy hotel is convenient and right next to Shinsaibashi, Dontonbori.........Transportation (Namba Station), dining, shopping all with 5-minutes walk.
The staff is friendly. Although the room is not very big, its size is larger than the average in Osaka. in addition, the room is nice with good design and the bathroomis spacious with amazing and relaxing bathtub...
Without doubt the best location, no other hotels are even in that vicinity.
The hotel is new too, only being a few years old all the rooms and bathrooms are super clean and nice.
Hotel staff are ok too, must stay for the location, nothing beats being within steps to;
Very well located hotel, right next door to main shopping and eating areas. Stayed in a twin room. Quite small bedroom area, small bathroom but huge shower area which I think is a waste of space. Room was clean, quite well Equipped and was very quiet despite being at front of hotel. Room was on 10th floor. Breakfast was excellent...
The Cross Hotel is a perfect location for exploring Osaka shopping and nightlife. The rooms are well-designed and the bed is comfortable. The breakfast buffet is also quite good. The only problem is the lack of a gym.
We stayed three days in Namba/Dotonbori area and enjoyed a lot the hotel. Fancy deco and very comfortable room with a reasonable price. Nice bathroom and amenities. Maybe the room a bit too small (the bed was against the wall because of this), but that's all.
Smack in the middle of shopping, food and nightlife. You can easily walk to Dotonbori and eat for days or shop in Shinsaibashi. Even better Nanba station is a 3 minute walk so you can easily travel the rest of Osaka. The staff are friendly and helpful and the WiFi works great once you connect. The bathrooms were clean, spacious...
This hotel is fantastic! It is close to the train station, easy enough to walk to with all your luggage. It is also pretty much right around the corner from the Dotonbori which is an amazing, lively place.
Our rooms were upgraded both times we stayed, the staff just offered it to us with a smile. The room was BEAUTIFUL...
Location: Walking distance from Namba and Shinsaibashi stations. Around the corner from Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, Namba, Hozenji Yokocho. Ideal location really for tourist.
Service and Room: No issues with check in. Very friendly staff. Happy to look after luggage and offered umbrellas. Queen bed room on level 14. It was a large room and was very clean. Large bathroom with all...
Could you please advise if the room windows can be opened.
Thanks Valerie
What time does the gym open and what time does it close?
What are the bed sizes for single beds?
Are there laundry facilities in the hotel? This means self service washing machines and dryer.

When will the poll list for "Fifty Shades of Grey" and for Christian Grey ever stop? Perhaps when the production has made their final casting announcement.
It's still a long way until the cast of the upcoming movie adaptation of Fifty Shades of Grey is revealed. So for now, let's just dwell into the countless of polls about the dream cast. From the actors who should play Christian Grey to actresses considered for Anastasia Steele the list is never ending.
It's quite a known fact that one of the frontrunners to take on the lead role for the movie is "Vampire Diaries" star, Ian Somerhalder. Besides, who could resist those eyes and that cunning smile?
In a previous interview and knowing how he is currently associated with the fictional character of Christian Grey, he reminisced about an incident at a bookstore where he locked eyes with a woman who was buying the book.
"You could see her blushing for a second. She saw that I saw the book, and I just smiled at her and said, 'It's a good read, huh?' And she goes, 'This so embarrassing,'" he teased.
Adding more to the rumors and suspicions, he was previously asked if he thinks Mr. Grey would volunteer in a foundation just like he would.
"Of course he'd volunteer for our foundation. Mr Grey is a sucker for opportunity and challenge...as a volunteer? Mr. Grey would be able to harness the corporate world to serve and obey the mission of the foundation, and he'd do it with a sparkle in his eyes and a smile across his mouth," he said.
Browse through the gallery above and see more of Ian Somerhalder as Christian Grey memes.

"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." 2nd Amendment to the Constitution of the United States
Practice does NOT make perfect. Practice makes permanent. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
I'm not dumb. I just have a command of thoroughly useless information.
- Bill Watterson, "Calvin", It's a Magical World
Update from ISRA:
AWB updates:
Buffalo Grove - deferred action for further consideration
Deerfield - going for "safe" storage/transportation only
Mettawa - unanimously voted NO to an AWB
Oswego - died for lack of a motion
Skokie - no action, memo is advisory only
Waukegan - none in favor, 10 spoke against, ordinance sent back to committee.
Guess there is some common sense in this state after all.
From ISRA tonight:
ALERT – Five meetings with gun bans on the agenda for Monday, June 24
SPECIAL NOTICE - Highland Park - Anti-gunners to pressure the board
After the passage of IL HB-183 (amended to be CCW) through both houses of the Illinois Legislature, Rep Drury and Lt. Gov Sheila Simon have issued statements urging the passage of local firearms bans during a window of time provided for in the bill.
Simon and Drury are promoting bans on semi-automatic firearms that you own under the guise of "Assault Weapons". This would likely include popular sporting and defensive firearms like the AR-15, and standard-capacity magazines for all kinds of handguns and rifles. Law-abiding gun owners could face confiscation of their firearms or criminal prosecution.
UPDATE: On Monday, June 24, Highland Park, Evanston and Melrose Park appear to be considering new local ordinances at their next council meeting on Monday. Also, St. Charles and Park Ridge are discussing new local ordinances at committee meetings on Monday. It is important that residents be there at these meetings to voice their opposition by addressing the board. If you live in either of these communities area, please go to that meeting. Be sure to arrive early to ensure that you gain entrance to the meeting.
For status of previous meetings, other meeting times, talking points against semi-auto bans, copies of proposed ordinances, links to other resources; please visit http://isra.org/townhall .
Special Note - Highland Park: The Highland Park meeting is now higher profile, and is expected to be packed with anti-gun zealots sent by the 10th Congressional District Democrats, an organization long dedicated to removing your right to keep and bear arms. It is especially important that the gun-owning residents of Highland Park are there to stand up for their rights, and it certainly would not hurt for neighboring residents who could be adversely affected by a ban to join them in solidarity and show support for the 2nd Amendment. Be sure to where your IGOLD apparel, ISRA or NRA hats, etc so that you can be recognized by the press. Get there early, please.
Please forward this alert to your mailing list and post it on your favorite forum.
Please be aware of what's going on in your community. If your town was not listed here, please contact your local city government and inquire about the next council meeting and the latest agenda. If you hear of more local attempts to pass an "Assault Weapon Ban" in another community, please contact the ISRA office at 815-635-3198 or send an email to the ISRA Hotline (email@example.com) and pass along the info. Alert members have helped ISRA to keep you informed
Veterans: Are you a veteran of our armed forces? Your oath and your prior service to our country gives you a unique vantage point to speak from. Please attend your local meeting and provide feedback to the local officials.

Coach Claude Julien knew the question was coming, so he couldn't help but laugh. But deep down, he knew it was legitimate. Last year his Bruins were in the exact same position as they are today against Detroit. After an emotional overtime road victory, they were up 3-1 with a chance to close out Toronto Maple Leafs at home in Game 5. They of course could not close the deal at home, lost in Toronto in Game 6 and needed one of the great miracle comebacks of all-time in Game 7 to finally advance to the second round. Nobody with the B's, least of all Julien, wants to have a repeat of that, no matter how glorious the ending was. "We can learn a lot from last year," said Julien. "Obviously, you can look at it whichever way you want. It doesn't mean just because it's happened before it has to be the same thing. There are different situations all the time. Right now, we have yet to lose respect for that team we are playing against. They have added some good players to their lineup last g...

Anyone remember that show? I watched all of them... the red room... black forest... bob... what a great show. I wish Lynch would make another like that.

Overall, very bloody, very gory, very good acting, very good movie.
It's clear that Ironclad takes liberties with historical events, but I do have to give them credit for at least alluding to those historical events.
Back then it was supposed to star Megan Fox, but for one reason or another she did not end up making the movie.

A decent period piece, but the plot was not very engrossing. It consisted mainly of King John's pyrrhic victory against rebels at one castle. Read morePublished 15 days ago by Paul D. Roy

I am usually up to something, whether its hanging out with friends playing board games or going outdoors to a hike or browsing farmer's market. I'm a bit shy when in big groups, but warm up in small settings or with my friends. I like baking desserts for my friends and coworkers, so I hope you might have a favorite dessert that I can make. Cooking, I can do, but just not very good at it :) When I'm relaxing, I can be found reading fiction books, watching anime, read manga, playing video games. I like trying out new things and am usually willing to dabble in activities, such as salsa and rock climbing.

Royals, and their families, are known to be extremely conservative-with money, recreation and pretty much everything else. Pippa Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge's sister, has never been one to follow the ordinary route, and she's taking on what will surely be a controversial stand on gambling.
Middleton's Party Times website, the online magazine that also promotes products by the Middleton family's company Party Pieces, offers tips and tricks for a Casino Night Party stating that it is "a great party choice for a teenager."
The rest of the blog entry is dedicated to a guide on how to set up a party that provides a fun and authentic casino ambiance from various games tables (poker and dice games) and a red carpet to a bar area and martini glasses.
The Queen is particularly known for being frugal, frowning on gambling even as Prince Harry reportedly blew 50 million dollars last year in Las Vegas. Although the palace neither denied nor confirmed the alleged gambling debt, the prince received criticisms over these reports (and the leaked pictures of him naked).
Although the Middletons are not part of the royal family, their close ties have brought them both good and bad publicity in the past. Pippa, the most visible of the brood, has no doubt reaped both the rewards and backlash of being in the public eye.
Her personal life has been endlessly speculated upon on tabloids, her clothes praised and criticized by fashion enthusiasts all over the world. She's been caught in a car with an armed pal, accused of using her royal connections to promote her book Celebrate and snapped by paparazzi every time she is out and about.
One would think the pretty brunette would have learned to be more publicity-savvy by now. Will there be uproar over Pippa Middleton's promotion of gambling in teenagers? Or has the public gotten used to the duchess' sister's occasional foray into royal taboos?

1 Answer
Answer #1cardocIII from Gillespie's Auto Service, November 03, 2013, 06:57Master
Is the overdrive off lamp "on" or "off"? Is the check engine light on? Has anyone pulled codes from the system? Common problems are with transmission fluid temperature sensor circuit, and with the OD switch circuit. These can both be monitored in scan data.
Replycasarova, November 03, 2013, 07:30Enthusiast
Over drive light will illuminate if pressed to the off position. The vehicle had a plugin service a day previously. The engine warning light is on as off this morning. 12hrs after the problem.
I solved the problem, the mechanic who did the computer plugin disconnected the overdrive switch, then did not reconnect properly.

Famous 'Uncanny Valley' Essay Translated, Published In Full 70
from the he-looks-amazingly-realistic-too dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
The uncanny valley goes the other direction too.
Too much work done on a human female by a plastic surgeon, hair stylist, body piercer, tattoo artist, or makeup artist makes her look really weird, you could even say "uncanny".
I would postulate that a overlap situation either already exists or soon will, where a silicone female can be found who is weirder looking in the artificial direction than a silicon female in the human direction. This has interesting implications for hollywood and pr0n actors where at least some fraction of human beings are better replaced with CGI equivalents.

I have been working at SWANA full-timePros
- November 2014 employee satisfaction survey resulted in 80% staff participation--100% of staff was 'satisfied' or 'very-satisfied' with their overall work experience. 94% of staff indicated that 'Teamwork is positively impacting SWANA's performance.'
- Great staff; collegial association atmosphere.
- Opportunity to make of your role with this organization what you want to get out of it. Excellent first job for new graduates as well as mid- and director-level positions.
- Pay IS commensurate with your performance. GREAT performers and team players ARE valued and recognized by managers. Annual increases are average to above average--for those who are dedicated and work hard.
- Comp days for working annual events that fall over a weekend.
- Monthly birthday celebrations as well as staff recognition program offering free lunches and accolades for recipients.Cons
- Every staff has it's quirks and employees with unique work styles/personalities; SWANA is absolutely no different from any other organization. Current staff wear many hats, works hard, and plays well together. SWANA is not without hiccups but such incidents are episodic and senior management address issues as needed.
- Multiple events in spring and large show in fall means long hours for many staff during the planning and promotion of these events but given the salary and support of senior management.Advice to ManagementAdvice

Executive level management needs to be completely restructured. Those that are currently in charge are resistant to change and allow unprofessional behavior by Senior Managers to go unaddressed. Good workers are constantly driven away by the toxic work environment.Advice to ManagementAdvice
