Fuselage sections for 787 Dreamliner delivered in Large Cargo Freighter
By Mike Hanlon
May 11, 2007
May 12, 2007 The 787 Dreamliner is the fastest-selling airplane in aviation history, with firm orders for 567 airplanes from 44 airlines. Perhaps even more intriguingly, it required a complete redesign of an existing plane to create the Large Cargo Freighter just to carry the parts in from suppliers so that its advanced construction technique could be implemented. We've covered the story from conception to now (here, here and here), the point where the first of the large composite fuselage sections have begun arriving at Boeing's Everett plant for assembly.The all-composite forward section, known as section 41 and shown here wrapped in white, is manufactured by Spirit AeroSystems at its facility in Kansas. The complex structure is 21 feet in diameter and 42 feet long. Its landing gear is installed.
Sections 47 and 48, wrapped in black, are the two aft composite sections of fuselage for the Dreamliner. They were manufactured and joined by Vought Aircraft Industries at its facility in Charleston, S.C. Section 47 is 23 feet long and 19 feet in diameter while section 48 measures 15 feet long and 14 feet in diameter.
The sections were delivered to Boeing early this morning via the Dreamlifter, a specially modified 747-400 used to transport 787 major assemblies. The aircraft arrived at 6:39 a.m. local time. The major assemblies were immediately unloaded and delivered to the 787 final assembly factory.
"Today's delivery represents more than 40 percent of the 787's fuselage structure," said Scott Strode, 787 vice president of Airplane Definition and Production. "We now have all the major structure for the rear of the airplane, and its distinctive nose. The Dreamliner is beginning to take shape."
These are the second and third pieces of major structure delivered by the Dreamlifter in recent weeks. The horizontal stabilizer arrived on April 25.Share

Rev. Russell Moore's Bible Study Message: " Keep Your Shield Soaked"
in Religion
Ephesians 5:26, "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of the water by the word" A Romans soldiers battle shield was his over all protection tool. He could hide behind it to protect his entire body from harm during a battle. Most shields in that time used by foot soldiers were made of leather. However leather could and would catch fire if hit by a fiery dart. Therefore a soldier must keep his shield soaked in water to retard the combustable materials in the fiery darts launched at him. You would die if your shield caught on fire therefore it must be soaked in water. Saints likewise must keep the shield of faith soaked in the word of God.

Why can't we stay awakened? with author Jennifer Schuitemaker
in Self Help
Jennifer defines "awakening" as a terminal condition for which there is no outside cure. In fact, she writes, "seeking outside remedies might even retard the process. It is impossible to become what you already are. There's absolutely nothing wrong with you".
In a society in which judgment reigns supreme, everyone has to have something wrong with them. For Jennifer the antidote is not drugs, surgery or a visit to the shrink, but a good dose of awareness. "The problem is, we have to stop pushing against everything we think is holding us back. Stop healing all the problems you don't have in the first place".
Jennifer Schuitemaker is a visionary Mentor Author Speaker. Born in the United States and educated in Europe, Jennifer was imprinted with a natural affinity for new thought and ways of thriving. Studying the teachings of both past and present masters, Jennifer combines that knowledge with her life experiences to become a highly educated and certified visionary in her own right.

Just told I'm a retard liberal by a stupid, illiterate & hateful con..thank God!
Your always questioning host decided to once again attempt to find out what makes me, me. Why am I this craven, evil liberal who believes in the rights of people, universal healthcare, a living wage, that immigrants are not "border crisis", that people shouldn't go to bed hungry, that great schools are a good thing and that our climate needs to be kept healthy? I begin to search for the answer to my quest to become a conservative at the bequest of all those who denegrate liberals as somehow being retarded because we believe in humanity and decency in a highly complex world. Yes, I want to become a hateful, war-mongering, vitriol spewing, self-righteous, lying ass acting like a pestulant 2nd grader on the playground...who happens to be white fat and a bully (Chris Christies' childhood!).

The Owners' Manual for the Human Body--HEALTH SOLUTION: Down $yndrome
in Education
''Retard, cretin, mongul'' and worse. Twisted labels-- all of them--upon a group that are now more commonly called "special". But are they "special"?
Is this just not a thinly veiled re-marketing of their condition so as to make us feel more able to ignore their true issues? After all, the cancer industry has managed to get many women to shave their heads in support for the draconian poisoning of chemo & radiation touted as a therapy and convince people that patients are actually happy whilst their poisoned (often to death). Could ther be more to these conditions and syndromes? Are the "symptoms" screaming to those with eyes to see? In this show our panel will share the deeper, underlying reasons as to why these conditions exists, and what's really causing them and how they CAN be helped.

Alverno Presents welcomes a collective of formidable musicians and storytellers to reinvent and reinterpret the Stephen Foster songbook at the Pitman Theatre on Saturday, February 2nd at 8:00 p.m. An Alverno Presents commission, The Foster Project is a unique musical performance curated and led by Ryan Schleicher and backed by Milwaukee's own Juniper Tar.
Known as "the father of American music," Stephen Foster represents the beginnings of American popular culture. Foster (1826–1864) was America's first great songwriter and the first to earn his living solely through his music. He composed over 200 songs and invented popular music as we recognize it to this day, yet he died at age thirty-seven.
The American popular song in all of its genres and variations finds its source in Foster. The Foster Project examines this with a generationally and racially diverse company of artists to interpret, re-imagine and respond to Stephen Foster's rich and complex legacy. Local artists will team up with their peers from around the country to explore the Foster songbook and create new work in response to such essential songs as "Oh Susannah," "Jeanie With The Light Brown Hair," "Beautiful Dreamer" and the iconic "Hard Times Come Again No More."
Single tickets are $15. Season subscriptions are still available at a discount off single ticket prices when purchasing three or more events. Tickets may be purchased through the Alverno Presents Box Office at 414-382-6044 or on-line at http://alvernopresents.alverno.edu.

I have really oily skin, but I've been controlling it quite well lately. I started using this a couple of days ago. My face has been oily again and I've been going nuts trying to figure out what it is. So I realized that for some reason, this is making me super oily since this is the only thing I have changed in my routine. Will go back to purpose cleanser.

In the beginning, this product was great for my oily skin, and I thought it was the perfect step above the gentle cleanser. However, after about 1-2 months, it left my skin too dry, which only made my skin produce more oil by mid-day. So, Cetaphil's gentle cleanser it is.

I used to LOVE this product, but unlike regular Cetaphil, this has MASKING FRAGRANCE (listed as an ingredient!), and I think that is why it burns when I wash with it. I does a good job of cleaning the skin and removing makeup, but it makes my skin feel tight and look shiny. Lately I have been using this to clean my brushes. The packaging is great - I bought a huge pump bottle of it, so it's lasting for over a year now. I think instead of using this on my face, I will use it for brushes, or maybe in the shower. It might be more beneficial in the summer when my skin is definitely oily. I would not repurchase this because the Gentle Skin Cleanser works better.

This is my favorite everyday cleanser. It takes off makeup beautifully and I even use it to clean my makeup brushes! It's not too drying for the skin, but I recommend you follow with a moisturizer particularly in the winter. This is a beauty must-have!

I really like this for gentle cleansing on my oily acne prone skin. it's a thin, clear gel consistency. Takes off makeup and oil without stripping (especially nice when used with a washcloth for exfoliating). Has a scent I don't care for, but oh well.
I got this when I had a rash from a glycolic peel and wanted something gentle. I typically use salicylic cleansers. I like it so much I will continue using it while my skin is dry during the winter.

this stuff dries out my skin and irritates it terribly...it also leaves a film that feels like something is still glued to ur face...and the scent....i hate it...took it back without a question..try it out before you buy!

this is my absolute favorite cleanser. i've used this for years and also tested out many other brands, high and low, but i always come back to good old cetaphil daily facial cleanser. i wouldn't want to be without it!

I have to say that this cleanser worked great for me. I use to use the Aveeno cleansers with soy or salicylic acid in it. It never cleared up my acne or brightened my complexion. I thought it was the Mac makeup that broke me out. Once I switched to the Cetaphil what a difference it made for me. I recently purchased the Clarisonic and use it with the cleanser and my face has cleared up within a week. Will def. purchase it again.

It's a good everyday cleanser. It is gentle, not overdrying, but removed necessary oil. The scent was a little funny when I first started using it but it's not offensive.
My dermatologist recommended it few years ago, and I'm pleased with it, and will continue using it.

It is a good basic cleanser. If that is what you are looking for, than this is great. It has a mild scent,m which is a plust.
For my acne prone skin, it did a good job with cleaning, but did not help the acne. An antibacterial cleanser is more effective in warding off breakouts for me. It also was slightly drying.

Decoding NeanderthalsSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
Over 60,000 years ago, the first modern humans --people physically identical to us today -- left their African homeland and entered Europe, then a bleak and inhospitable continent in the grip of the Ice Age. But when they arrived, they were not alone: the stocky, powerfully built Neanderthals had already been living there for hundred of thousands of years. So what happened when the first modern humans encountered the Neanderthals? Did we make love or war? That question has tantalized generations of scholars and seized the popular imagination. Then, in 2010, a team led by geneticist Svante Paabo announced stunning news. Not only had they reconstructed much of the Neanderthal genome -- an extraordinary technical feat that would have seemed impossible only a decade ago -- but their analysis showed that "we" modern humans had interbred with Neanderthals, leaving a small but consistent signature of Neanderthal genes behind in everyone outside Africa today.

Monday, 19 Oct 2009 03:55 PM
By Herbert London
The American Revolution had one inspirational lament that echoed through the pages of our national history: "No taxation without representation."
For our Founding Fathers these poignant words meant that the British imposition of taxes was unacceptable without the expressed will of the people. It was an idea that was built into a republican form of government and was as much a British idea as an American one.
In 2009 a new, arguably perverse, view of this proclamation is in vogue: "No taxation with representation." It is increasingly clear that at least 45 percent of the American people do not pay income tax yet are key to the election of many representatives. Their votes count as much as the 55 percent who do pay taxes. Moreover, if one relies on the quasi-Marxist rhetoric that emanates from Washington, the nontaxpayer has a claim on the assets of others.
In "The Republic" Plato argued against democracy because he feared the power of the mob, those free-riders who expect others to care for and attend to them. When their numbers increase to some tipping point, democracy is imperiled.
At the moment 1 percent of the population pays about 40 percent of the tax revenue for the country. When President Obama talks about "spreading the wealth," what does he mean? Should 1 percent pay 50 percent or 60 percent and, if so, what are the disincentives to wealth creation that will emerge? As it stands, 10 percent of the population generates more than 90 percent of the revenue.
The influence of high taxation on a minority invariably breeds resentment. But the effect on the large majority is just as significant. For those who obtain benefits without payments, an entitlement psychology unfolds. It's my due, say the less wealthy as if wealth itself is a sin.
Although it is hard to generalize from a sample of one, I can recall that during the Obama campaign an adherent said she favored the Democratic nominee because he would assist with her mortgage, her car payments and her accumulated debt.
That in a nutshell is the spirit of national welfarism, something for nothing. Is this woman concerned at all about the tax burden on others? Is she aware of the disincentives for productive activity? Are the politicians who pander to those who crave a hand-out sensitive to the effect of their policies?
What conceivable interest can this woman have in national tax policy? As far as she is concerned, a 100 percent tax is desirable as long as she gets her due.
From my perspective everyone, should be taxed. If progressivity is the standard, invert the rate for the poor. Those who have little should pay little, but they should pay something, anything that displays a commitment to the nation and its goals. The negative tax doesn't demand that sentiment and, as I see it, the nation requires this understanding.
Some have said that there should be a property requirement for voting, a demonstrated stake in the society and a standard that existed before 1820. I don't think that idea has any chance of acceptance, but I do contend that everyone should pay taxes, whether its $5 or less — a sum that suggests the individual is a party to the national interest, not merely a free rider.
In a sense, this gesture is symbolic. It certainly won't generate revenue sufficient to deal with unfunded liabilities. However, it does send a message that we are in this national mission together.
It is time to overcome the belief that a small minority is obliged to address the concerns of a large majority. And it is time as well to suggest that no one is entitled to the fruits of someone else's labor.
A tax must be perceived as fair and universal. And if the populace wants the benefits of representation, it should display an interest in taxation. Wasn't that once the American way?

Policy changes can help Indian wind sector mature
INDIA: As the third largest economy in Asia, and one of the emerging 'BRIC' economies (alongside Brazil, Russia and China), India has a voracious appetite for electricity: government forecasts suggest a requirement of 1,355TWh by 2016-17.1 comment
Plug and play: how wind projects progress under the turnkey model
INDIA: India is now the third largest wind market by annual installations, adding 3GW in 2011 after China (17.6GW) and the US (6.8GW), according to the Global Wind Energy Council. It is also a unique market where developers and turbine manufacturers are often synonymous.
India has the potential to stay at the top
INDIA: At the time of Windpower Monthly's last special report on India, the industry was hoping for a central government stance that would provide incentives to encourage growth and a grid infrastructure that can cope.
Market Status Reports
China - Testing times ahead with more balanced growth
CHINA: The Chinese wind-power market faces a tough year as the industry gets to grips with new government requirements. Though growth slowed in 2011, the market still performed very strongly, with over 15GW of newly installed capacity. Industry officials expect the wind industry to continue to lead the world in growth in 2012 as the government counts on the technology to raise the nation's consumption of renewable energy.
Brazil - Project and production activity set to spiral
BRAZIL: Brazil added more than 40% of new capacity in 2011 and investors have the appetite for more in 2012.
Bulgaria - New rules may spark investor exodus
BULGARIA: Prospects for the Bulgarian market are not bright, as legislative changes may make it more difficult for developers to access project financing.
India - Grid and tax rules change as wind sector takes off
INDIA: India's wind sector looks likely to retain its momentum in 2012 and is on track to add 700MW in the first three months. More than 3.02GW was installed in 2011, taking total installed capacity to 16.08GW, according to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. The government has a target to double this by 2017.1 comment
Latin America - Legislative delays stall nascent markets
LATIN AMERICA, EXCLUDING BRAZIL: Wind activity outside of Brazil is poised to grow. Mexico should see installed capacity increase this year, but elsewhere, legislative issues are holding up projects.
Middle East & North Africa - Political events bring delays but offer hope
NORTHERN AFRICA & MIDDLE EAST: Political and social unrest rocked much of the Middle East and north Africa in 2011, putting projects on hold and raising concerns for future investment. While a few countries did see progress, unrest still haunts much of the region. A lot will now depend on how quickly these countries manage to regain stability and restore confidence.
South-East Asia - Small steps forward but still a long way to go
SOUTH-EAST ASIA: Some of the region's countries are taking measures to encourage wind-power development, but regulatory and economic uncertainty and poor transmission are holding back progress in the Philippines, which has just a single 33MW wind farm built in 2009.
Sub-Saharan Africa - New players join the world of wind
SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA: The year ahead should be busy in sub-Saharan Africa after significant progress was made in 2011, most notably with project tenders in South Africa, but also installations in Ethiopia and Cape Verde. Projects also made strides ahead in Nigeria, Mauritania and Kenya. In many other countries barriers such as the lack of a regulatory framework and reliable wind data continue to hamper development.

Heyo ! I'm Draconnia but you can call me Draco if you want.
Drawing is one of my passion, I do this since my childhood. I draw with pencils, India ink, paint and a graphic tablet. I've got a graphic tablet not too long ago, before I drew with my mouse (since 3 years). I draw everything, felines, canines, dragons, humans...
For the moment, I try to drawing human anatomy and the perspective.
Later... I want to be a character designer or something like that, because I love video games too, and I want to traveling in the world~

Does anyone have a pot rack inside an upper cabinet?
And if so, how's it working for you? Also, if you have pictures, could you post them? I could only find one, and I think it's a great idea for those with small kitchens who want to take advantage of ceiling height cabinets.
Sorry. I like that, though. I wonder how much it costs... I wonder if they make a kit that I could put in a Kraftmaid cabinet! :o)
We do, and all it cost was the price of the hooks -DH insisted on stainless.
We were not planning on doing this first off, but it worked out that with the hooks mounted directly in the top of the cabinet, our largest pan just clears the bottom. I had wanted to make something adjustable, but it would not fit with the way I designed the cabinet, which was before I decided to put in the pots.
They are easy enough to reach, as I grab the bottom and lift it off the hook. It sure is nice not having them stacked up in a drawer - seems you always want the one on the bottom.
We are getting close to making doors - it won't always be open like this, though I'm getting very use to the convenience of having everything open.
Our cabinet tops are 3/4" plywood and the side walls are notched to accept it and it's sitting on top of the back, and then all glued together - it's not going to bow or detach from the weight of the pans.
I think for most cabinets, you would need to beef them up a bit before putting hooks in the top.
I too always want the pan at the bottom. Also, I really want to be able to take advantage of tall cabinets without fussing with a stepstool.
I did a little test today and it seems that the 10" fry pan is the maximum size in a regular upper.
I have no idea who makes that handy thing in the picture I posted.
Back to measuring and thinking. Where to put the lids.
I found that picture at Ayr Cabinetry which I'll link below. They have a lot of cool organizational things in their cabinetry.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ayr Cabinetry
Found really nice roll-out shelves for cans by Ayr...same company who made the pot rack in the first post up above. Does anyone have anything like this & if so, do you like it? Link below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ayr roll-out shelves for cans
Those pics are from a GWers kitchen - loves2cook4six's kitchen. Both the pot rack and the can storage.
I've linked a thread with some info on the pot rack. You might be able to search on her name to get more info on her can storage.
Here is a link that might be useful: thread about pot rack in upper cabinet
^^ Thanks so much! I swear, I DID search for pot racks and thought I read all the threads.
I too will be shamelessly copying this. The Container Store. Who knew?
How funny!! I am hardly ever on the kitchen forum anymore so not sure what made me pop over and look what I find...
Ayr did make our cabinets. They were beyond wonderful to work with, will ship all over the country and I can only praise them to heaven and back for their work ethic, ability to do anything we wanted and to always do it with a smile. I am sure I was a difficult customer but they never let on once :)
I did purchase the bar and hooks from The Container Store, but they no longer carry them. They can still be found online and there is a link in the thread that was linked to above.
Because our kitchen was custom and that cabinet is above a 30" deep counter, the uppers are 13" deep. We can easily get a 12" frypan in that cupboard. DH built me a rack for holding the lids which is underneath the smaller pans.
The can storage was my idea. The drawer actually consists of three layers. It is quite deep as the first main drawer extends into the toe kick area of the cabinet. The drawers line up all round the kitchen so using hidden drawers was a way to reduce the depth of some of them.
Here are some more pictures:
Love, thanks for stopping by. I bow to your cabinets. The CS no longer has your pot rack. They have this instead: http://www.containerstore.com/shop?productId=10000989&N=&Ntt=pot
Plugh. You wouldn't happen to know the maker, would you? I am off to google.
AHA, never mind! Let's hear it for amazon: http://www.amazon.com/J-K-Adams-PR-36-Bar-Rack-Maple/dp/B000S5ZNKE
I think my dh would have had a hissy if I'd paid $80 for a pot rack he could make for $20. LOL
Try this one
Haha, you are right. I was going to hack the idea with a closet rod, but I like this wood one much better. A little googling and I am sure there are other places less than $80.
I take it these innovative features--the pot rack and can drawer--work out much better than losing the items in a deep drawer or the depth of a pantry cabinet? Also, I made a study of the cans in our pantry last night. They are mostly a few standard sizes, right? Which is how you know all yours will fit in your drawers?
Macy's got it in a deep microwave cabinet too. Hmmmm. Yeah it's never too late to repurpose things!!! Of course the ones I'd like to hang are cast iron and I don't know if my cabinets can take it. There is also the vertical file storage, where instead of hanging them you have dividers and stick them in like books. Or, being a kitchen forum, like a beefy plate rack.
I used towel racks made by a local blacksmith, with handmade S hooks. These would work great in a cabinet if you have the space. Love them!

Impatien Seedlings...Outdoors?
Laura GrossmannApril 22, 2009
I am growing annuals from seed for the first time this year and I'm running out of room! I want to store as many plants outside as possible and I'm wondering how impatiens seedlings will do outdoors.
They like the shade, so I would keep under the maple tree, but it will be up to 90 degrees here this week and down to 35. What's too cold and too hot for them?
e36yellowm3(7 Raleigh, NC)
Hi - I think what's too cold for them is about 32, assuming they're a decent size with a couple of leaves. I gotten to the point where I just start my impatiens outside either directly in the ground or in bigger flats. They are so easy to grow and quick, I don't bother with them in advance. Good luck!

It's the year 2044, and the real world has become an ugly place. We're out of oil. We've wrecked the climate. Famine, poverty, and disease are widespread. Like most of humanity, Wade Watts escapes this depressing reality by spending his waking hours jacked into the OASIS, a sprawling virtual utopia where you can be anything you want to be, where you can live and play and fall in love on any of ten thousand planets. And, like most of humanity, Wade is obsessed by the ultimate lottery ticket that lies concealed within this alternate reality: OASIS founder James Halliday, who died with no heir, has promised that control of the OASIS - and his massive fortune - will go to the person who can solve the riddles he has left scattered throughout his creation.
For years, millions have struggled fruitlessly to attain this prize, knowing only that the riddles are based in the culture of the late 20th century. And then Wade stumbles onto the key to the first puzzle. Suddenly he finds himself pitted against thousands of competitors in a desperate race to claim the ultimate prize, a chase that soon takes on terrifying real-world dimensions - and that will leave both Wade and his world profoundly changed.

More recently, he has appeared in several episodes of the TV series The Big Bang Theory as himself.

"Are you ready to begin?"
First and foremost, Wil Wheaton is a first-class narrator - he has absolutely the most perfect voice for audiobooks (not too bassy, not too nasally) and doesn't do too badly with accents either (unlike some other narrators which have caused me to return books!). Secondly, the world of Ready Player One is - as noted in the novel - everything any reader or gamer has ever dreamed of: essentially a 'holodeck' experience. It is the book's exploration of the pros and cons of this system that draws you in - in Star Trek we see people using the holodecks for recreation, essentially living out episodes in an ongoing drama; but as Ready Player One points out....why would you ever leave?
I have desperately been searching for something else as engaging and exciting as RPO since I finished reading! My recommendations would probably be to read other books which effectively create alternative worlds - perhaps 'The Knife of Never Letting Go' by Patrick Ness, 'Peter and Max' by Bill Willingham and 'Divergent' by Veronica Roth.
As I mention above, Wil is an excellent reader. He has an obvious love for the subject matter and, having been an actor on Star Trek 'The Next Generation' and a teenager in the late 80s and early 90s, has a strong familiarity with many of the pop culture references. Wheaton sounds like he is having an absolute ball with this reading!
'What would you sacrifice to win the ultimate prize?'
Read (.....listen to). This. Book.
"Badly written but interesting"
It reads like an audio description of a B-movie. Characters are a bit stereotyped / 2D, story rather linear and too often predictable, too much description of what the protagonist did (I did this, and then I did this, and then I did that...).
It would be great for anyone obsessed with 80's computer games and geek culture. Otherwise, it's fairly interesting and fun, but really, there's better.
"80's Teenager!"
If you were born around 1960-1975 you will love the nostalgia in this book. A light SciFi romp, easy listening, but with lots to recomend it. Cline researched the history of video games and infact PS's like a true Geek! but managed to carry the storyline along without loosing my interest. Even a reminder of the great Rush LP 2012. Lighten up for a while, give it a go, you'll be glad you did :)
"You will not be able to pause this book"
While I do not have the print version, the fact that Will Wheaton reads this is an undeniable plus.
Art3mis. She has conviction and drive, knows what she wants and goes for it. It's a world somewhat dominated by men but she manages to succeed via brains and personality. The virtual reality that most of the book takes place in means that her physical appearance is almost a non issue which is refreshing for a female character.
His performance was perfectly pitched, he was clearly enjoying it himself and his sense of timing was brilliant. Best of all though is the fact that Wil Wheaton is actually mentioned in the story itself, he is part of the world. Hearing Wil Wheaton talk about Wil Wheaton just made me smile!
I found the relationship between the Japanese brothers particularly moving, it's explained in more detail towards the end of the book and I found Shoto's talk with Wade in his fortress one of the best scenes in the whole book.
I read this because there was a lot of hype around it. In some ways I was a bit disappointed. It was far from an incredible read and I don't really get why some people consider it one of their favourite books.It was definitely enjoyable and I have rated it highly. It's a fast paced treasure hunt that I found very difficult to put down. In fact I kind of resented that I had to stop listening to it to work and sleep and talk to people. I really really wanted to know what was going to happen next and it was a very engaging read, even for someone with very little video game knowledge.However I wasn't hugely attached to any of the characters. Apart from the main character there wasn't a huge amount of character progression. The baddies are somewhat one dimensional and I found it difficult to believe that they had sufficient motivation for some of their actions. I just wasn't that attached. Possibly someone more into geek culture would get more out of this.
"If you don't read and like gaming its for you."
No substance to the story and it had so much potential. You 100% need to be a gamer to enjoy this book.
He needs to work on his dialogue because to put it bluntly it was awful. The characters are generic and uninteresting especially the love interest. His world building is excellent no need for improvement there. The book has such great frame work for comments about society individualism and peoples need for fulfilment and approval but it does nothing with it.
I haven't heard any other Wil Wheaton performances but I thought he did a pretty good job with this. He seems genuinely enthusiastic and clearly put a lot of effort in.
Wil Wheaton's Performance.
"Ready Reader One"
This is something of a gamer geek novel - so I preface all my views with the caveat that like Neal Stevenson's REAMDE it may appeal to those, like me, of a certain sub-culture. The story-line itself is not so remarkable, civilization in deep decline in the next few decades yada yada. What makes this story interesting is the alternative that the majority of the population turn to in order to escape and a challenge that arises therein.
It is fast paced story that never seemed to drag. It has a great 1980's sub-plot if you have fond memories of early games, TV, books, film and computers. I found the characters and their gamer-style issues with RL (real-life) accurate and engaging. I found myself looking forward to the drive to work in the mornings (when I get to listen to my audiobooks) which doesn't often happen to me!
The narration by Wil Wheaton (of ST:TNG fame and avid gamer) is excellent, a really good choice and nice kind of twist as you will find out if you choose to listen.
All in all I consider this one of my best ever spontaneous buys on Audible after being a member for many years - highly recommended.
"A Sci-Fi Classic"
I picked this up with no expectations at all and was blown away. It is one of those books that you just can't tear yourself away from and you are a little sad when its over. Most of the reviews state that this will appeal to nerds, computer gamers and children of the eighties (and I admit that I'm all three) but I think you'd have to have a pretty hard heart not to love this book no matter who you were.
Wil Wheaton was a great choice for narrator and he does a fantastic job.
Fan of urban fantasy, especially set in London, & Victorian gothic. A bit of steampunk & cyperpunk too. Oh, and Georgette Heyer (sorry).
"Great fun for geeks and children of the 80s"
Wil Wheaton is the perfect narrator for this fun adventure story. I'm not a gamer but enjoyed the cultural references immensely particularly the music. I found the characters believeable and endearing and was even a little moved by a revelation about one of them towards the end. I can really see this as a film and have been mentally casting ever since.
It's a light read but I was completely gripped to the extent of going for long walks so that I could justify binge listening!
Read this twice in paperback and enjoyed it even more read by wil Wheaton.
One of my all time favourite books.
"Like no book I've read before"
I loved this book. It grabbed me from the very first few minutes and it just kept going until the end. Wil Wheaton's narration was superb from start to finish.
The world that the author created was so vivid, I was completely immersed in it (excuse the pun) and could really imagine being there. The story takes place in a dystopian world where the main escape for most people is to put on a VR headset and transport themselves to the Oasis. As someone who has taken a keen interest in the upcoming Oculus Rift and Sony VR headsets, this novel gave me a glimpse of how the technology may evolve in the future. Even if you have no interest in gaming or virtual reality, this is still a riveting read.
I highly recommend this book to anyone and hope that the author follows this up with something equally unique.
"Where's the sequel?!"
This was an incredible book, with both the writing and performance being top-class. I have never read a book much like this, yet I was deeply thrown into the story and really felt for the characters and the world around them.
I would recommend this book to those of you have ever had any interest in computing, retro gaming and retro film. It really is a 80s pop-culture book with an incredible setting and back story.
To be honest, I was upset when the book ended. The only question that came to my mind was: Where is the sequel?!
Hopefully one might be made soon... I know Ernest Cline hasn't ruled it out yet!
"Fun but shallow"
Yeh I'd give them a shot but I wouldn't expect depth from Cline. Wheaton was a great narrator - he was perfect for the job.
The VR world was cool and the idea of being able to explore so many worlds.
The least interesting parts where the info dumps. So many info dumps!
He was really enthusiastic and got into the story a lot. Very good performance.
It would be good if it examined itself a bit more so if that were to happen I'd give a sequel a shot.
Definitely not self aware enough. I find it hard to believe that a few decades on from now we'd be so utterly obsessed with the 80s that we'd build and ENTIRE UNIVERSE dedicated to it. I get it that this book was meant to be a fun romp back into the 80s but it neglected the future aspect of the story a lot. The implications of a society SO stuck in the past - what about the present? What about all those NEW games, books, movies, music vidoes and TV shows?
-- side note - the author likes LISTS a LOT - it got mega irritating him saying "games, books, movies, music vidoes and TV shows" about a hundred times as if he was trying to meet a word count. Give it a rest already!
Anywho...it felt like...this book used all the high tech stuff as just an excuse to go back to the 80s and have a giant nerd-gasm about 8bit arcade games 'faded Space Invaders tees'. While it was a fun adventure with some pretty good characters, I felt it ultimately too shallow for my tastes.
"My New Favourite Ever!"
If you are a nerd in any way, shape or form, get this book now!!
"A nerdy nostalgia driven delight"
I really enjoyed this book but I feel as though I would have enjoyed it more when I was 15 (I'm now almost 30) The female characters really lack a sense of depth and I wanted more from them. The references to movies and games of the 80s was a great kick. I feel like going back and reviewing the classics again. If you are a nerd you will get a kick out of this.
"Entertaining. Feast for the imagination."
Absolutely. This book is immensely fun. The narration is by Wil Wheaton and that is a bonus. The writing captured my imagination and I found myself switching between envisioning the protagonist's real-life and the pixelated virtual reality of his avatar.
Aech. Aech proved to be a loyal friend. Aech's backstory added another dimension to the book by proving no one is really who they say they are when it comes to the internet. It also highlighted racial prejudice and gender discrimination.
The origami scene, inspired by the movie 'Bladerunner'.
Log in. For the win.
"Fabulous book. I have listened to this many times."
Fabulous book. I have listened to this many times. It cheers me up. The hero against all odds.
"Love it!"
If you are a geek, love retro 80s pop culture, or both, you'll love it too. Wil Wheaton's performance is just gravy.
"loved it"
I especially loved Will's rendition of The Holy Gail. the story had so many references to 80s pop culture and early video game history that I was constantly reliving my childhood.
The plot bringing together today's technology mixed together with cult classics fromp the past. This book is a electric journey that keeps you on edge for the whole book. Can't wait for the movie to come out.
"Loved it."
Had everything a guy who grew up in the 80s loving sci-fi and games could want.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Queens - Leeds
Before travelling to leeds i trawled the internet looking for a luxurious hotel in leeds for my 21st birthday. I stumbled upon the queens and its description on many sites gives it a very good image. Playstations in rooms, mini bar, bath robes and premium rooms which are newly refurbished.
When I arrived the staff were very friendly, if perhaps a bit strange. We were given our room which was a 120 per night for the premium delux room. When we stepped inside the room I was shocked, it was about 4 foot by six with a bathroom which was the size of a broom cupboard. The wallpaper on the ceiling was peeling, the decor was like something out of draculas house, the room stunk of smoke even though it was none smoking. Add to this the faux leather studded wardrobe and drawers....Dismal is a nice word for it. i just couldnt believe it. I couldve cried. When in the lift I did realise that the hotel had seen better years as all the decor is slightly goth like, a little bit eerie if you ask me. My fiance was a little scared, and he doesnt scare easily. i decided to cancel my booking in the hotel as i could not of stayed in that place.
Think twice before booking here.
Make sure you don't get room 309!
I surprised my boyfriend on valentine's day by booking us a room at the Queen's, after waiting 15 minutes to check in we were given a card for our room on the 3rd floor (room 309), I was dreading what this would be like after reading the reviews on here the day before, I'm glad I prepared myself because the room was awful & only had a single bed. Back to reception we went, they apologised & gave us another card, this time on the 2nd floor (room 231), it was second time lucky, this room was gorgeous! We had a disabled room so it was really big & the bathroom was very spacious. We ate at the Queen's grill later that evening, it was very quiet, I had bits in my wine, the food was very overpriced for what it was & the menu was very limited, the banana & toffee pancakes were lovely though. Later we tried out the Queen's bar, not too pricey, nicely decorated & lovely staff. When we got back to our room we explored the mini bar but like every mini bar even a bag of crisps was �1.10. In the morning someone came in our room, twice, whilst we were still in bed, they then called us to see when we would be vacating the room! (It was only 10am, still 2 hours till you have to check out.) Apart from that & the parking costing �12 a night, we had a very pleasant stay at the Queen's & would definitely go there again.
Very Impressed
I recently had to attend a corporate event at the Queens in Leeds which involved an overnight stay. As a regular user of tripadvisor, I read the reviews beforehand and was expecting the worst. On arrival, I was impressed with the main reception but figured it would be like a lot of hotels - great reception but c**p once you venture elsewhere. I went up to the ballroom for my corporate event and was extremely impressed. It's very art deco but in a modern style - very nice. Later I checked into the room and again was very impressed. All new fixtures and fittings and very smart. The thing that most impressed me was that it didn't feel like your usual city centre hotel - had a touch of luxury and some unusual pieces like the art deco desk and the leather headboard. It's only a room I know but if you're going to spend time there then you may as well enjoy the experience. I didn't eat in the restaurant so can't comment on the food but the breakfast was very good. My only gripe is the lifts - only one was working and it had definitely seen better days. My guess is that the other lift is being upgraded hence the reason why only one was available.
Considering the previous reviews, all in all, I think the current owners should be applauded for turning this hotel round. Definitely recommended.
Dark and Dingy
Recently stayed at this hotel and was very disappointed. It has definately got stuck in a time warp. The room was very brown and dark. There was thick dust on the skirting boards and the bathroom was far from clean. For a 4* hotel I was expecting much more. Luckily only there for one night or I would have moved hotels. The food was quite good but the restaurant was again very dark and depressing.
Ok if you get one of the refurbished rooms
I have stayed here on a number of occasions only because it is on our company's 'list' of hotels. The older rooms are basic and tired and often if you are travelling alone you get stuck in what can only be described as a cupboard at the end of a corridor. Having said that, the refurbished rooms are very nice and have air conditioning which is a godsend in the summer. The older rooms have no air con and because the hotel is on one of the busiest roads, you can't open the windows. The food is fine and the hotel is really central. Staff can be a bit aloof and had a very strange experience once with a receptionist who had obviously been told that eye contact was a good thing - she was staring like a madwoman - I don't think she blinked!
Our new owners Quintessential Hotels (not Le Meridien as stated) have since January 2004 embarked on a �9m refurbishment of the property bringing this grand lady back to her full glory.
We are investing �35k per room, including full air-air-conditioning (not a cooling system like some hotels), secondary glazing that will cut out 90% of all external noise (remember we are city centre!) and new fixtures and fittings.
The hotel has recently completed our new restaurant called The Queens Grill as well as a new The Queens Bar. We have also completed to date 72 of our 217 bedrooms, all our 16 event and meeting rooms including the impressive Queens Ballroom (largest hotel ballroom in the city).
The future will see the remainder of the bedrooms refurbished ( we are adding a further 18 rooms), the reception area will be transformed in January, new lifts are currently being installed. The finish date will be June/July 2005.
May I take this opportunity of thanking those who took time to make comments on this site.
The WORST experience EVER!!!!!
Our family stayed here OCT 2003. There were No sleeping facilities for our 10 week old baby. Breakfast arrived over 90 mins late and was stone cold. The evening meal was incorrect to our order... cutlery and crockery were missiing ... cold drinks were tepid. Any attempts to rectify the problems were handled politely but very slowly.
We decided to leave after one night and went to Raddisson which was 100% better option
Good, but not that good!
I stayed at the Queens for a night on Business. On arriving the reception is very nice and grand, I thought "this is going to be a good stay", Upon speaking to the receptionist she mentioned that I would be upgraded to a deluxe exec room.....I thought this is getting better!!! - I was on the top floor with a small terrace - wooohoooo!! "this is getting even better!" Even the lift was nice, all gold and looked the part. Upon reaching my room I opened the door feeling quite excited and strolled in......
........HAHAHAHAHAHAHA super 70's!! The brown curtains and brown carpet looked the part, unfortunatly I had left my safari suit at home otherwise I would of blended in. On a plus side they had a tv with fuzzy films and minibar and my dinner was nice, my vedgetables went missing and my orange segments also had a strange fizzing taste coming from them. I also tried to take a shower and it turned itslelf off after literally 10 seconds!!, so I had a bath instead!
Like I say Its good but not that good, maybe next time I will sleep in the reception!
A not so royal Queen
This used to be the top hotel in Leeds. Stayed there recently and the place was shabby, dirty, drab and depressing. It is being modernised but we were shown three rooms before we were satisfied. The receptionist was aloof and not very helpful and only decided to assist after we had cause to speak to a manager. The manager was apologetic.
The breakfast was not up to standard ie the fruit was tired and the grapefruit sections were 'fizzing'. However excellent service in the dining room. Pity, because the hotel has all the right facilities but has been left to drift into a poor state. Better guest greeting would assist. Have stayed in five hotels in Leeds over the last 3 years and this has been the worst experience.
Good value
Stayed at the Queens Hotel a few weeks ago for a friends hen night. The staff were very efficient, valet parking service was excellent, the rooms were clean and very large. Would definitely recommend this hotel.
