"I could listen to Colin Firth all day!"
The best thing about this listen is Colin Firth. He has a very pleasing voice and brings the characters to life. It's a joy of a listen. I hope he does more books.
However, it is typical Graham Greene. Don't get me wrong, Graham Greene is a great writer. He brings people and places to life in a way no other writer can. But as always with Greene, a character who was raised Catholic, but no longer believes, prays to God and a miracle occurs. The character then goes thru an inner struggle questioning who they are and what they believe. If you like reading struggles of faith, you will love this book.
I personally find the subject boring. I've read the struggle before in Greene's work and just can't invest in the character's dilemma even though I like them and want them to succeed.

I love this ring! Very cool and unique; it sort of looks like a half moon on one side; substantial size ring, but not too big.
I just received the ring and it is stunning! I bought this ring for myself and am very pleased with it. I love the design. It's a high quality made unique piece of jewelry. The color of the stone is perfect. I've already received super comments. Thanks Overstock for making these world trade items available.
Very light and pretty. Very comfortable fit. Was looking for something unique.
This sterling silver ring with a Peruvian opal is just gorgeous. The workmanship is finely detailed and beautifully finished. I would certainly buy other pieces made by this same artisan!
Cheap.... if there really is a opal in this ring it doesn't fit in the setting ....there's a gap between the end of setting window. It really doesn't look like a stone but some blueish green material that has shifted in the setting......definitely not worth the money!!!
My best friend loved it!!!! Great gift it was hard to give up!

BIG BEAR LAKE, Calif.— The Los Angeles Police Department said Saturday that it would reopen the investigation into the firing of Christopher Dorner from the force, a firing that apparently prompted Dorner's rampage that has left three people dead.
Chief Charlie Beck is reopening the investigation because he wants "to ensure … that the LAPD is fair and transparent," Cmdr. Andrew Smith said at a news conference.
Officials in particular will re-examine the accusations by Dorner, 33, that his law-enforcement career was undone by racist colleagues, Beck said. While he promised to hear out Dorner if he surrenders, Beck stressed that he was ordering a review of his 2007 case because he takes the allegation of racism in his department seriously.
"I do this not to appease a murderer. I do it to reassure the public," the chief said in a statement.

Dorner was stripped of his badge after a police disciplinary board found him guilty of making false statements against his training officer, Teresa Evans. In August 2007, Dorner accused Evans of kicking a schizophrenic man during an arrest in San Pedro.
The internal-affairs investigation concluded she had not kicked the man and that Dorner's statements were false.
Dorner is suspected of killing three people, including a Riverside police officer, and injured others in a campaign to take revenge on those he blamed for his dismissal from the LAPD, police said.
Smith said a special task force was being formed to investigate the Dorner case. Other agencies on the task force will include the Irvine police, Riverside police, the FBI, the U.S. marshal's office and other agencies.
Also, authorities revealed that Dorner's burned-out truck found on a mountain road in Big Bear last week had a broken axle and that weapons were found inside.
Meanwhile, Beck, interviewed by CBS News, formally apologized to two women who were shot at by officers guarding a high-ranking police official targeted by Dorner.
Margie Carranza, 47, and her mother, Emma Hernandez, 71, were the victims of "a tragic misinterpretation" by officers working under "incredible tension," Beck said Friday.
As their pickup headed in the general direction of a police official's residence in Torrance, the officers on guard received a radio call that indicated the truck matched the description of Dorner's gray Nissan Titan.
As the vehicle approached the house, officers unloaded a barrage of bullets into the back of the truck. When the shooting stopped, they quickly realized their mistake. The truck was not a Nissan Titan, but a Toyota Tacoma. The color wasn't gray, but aqua blue. And it wasn't Dorner inside the truck, but a woman and her mother delivering the Los Angeles Times.
Hernandez was shot twice in the back and is expected to recover. Her daughter escaped with only minor wounds from broken glass.

Adorable story,written in rhyme with great pictures to illustrate the animals.
I teach kindergarten and this is a great book that I can't wait to read to my new students when we start school in the fall. Great sense of rhyming words. The Peacock wakes up and makes a sound and this starts the other animals getting around. The boy gets up and races with his mom to get to breakfast. Characteristics of animals are woven into the boy getting up and ready for the day. A good descriptive book for young children.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

"the only way to read a book like this"
I loved the book. I never would have gone through it if I had to read it. but listening to it suited my life style very well. It was interesting to the end and J. Alter's voice was perfect for the book
Even though it had many details it kept my attention to the end.
I look forward to the second year.

Bills defensive tackle Williams misses practice
Share This Story
TEMPE, Ariz. (AP)
Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Kyle Williams sat out practice because of an ankle injury for the second straight day Thursday.
''It is not the same foot that I had surgery on last season,'' said Williams, expected to play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. ''That foot feels wonderful.''
Guard Chad Rinehart returned to practice Thursday. He injured a calf Sunday in the Bills' 45-3 loss to the San Francisco.

Doan may sell a lot of season tickets, but do you think he'll sell enough to recoup the$7,500,000 we'd be paying him each year? I wouldn't take him, personally, at anything over $6,500,000 per year, and front-loaded at that. He carries a pretty big risk with him.
Morrow's interesting, but what kind of prospect + pick combination are we talking about? We don't have a 2013 2nd rounder, so it would either have to be a first or a future pick for Morrow. Dallas seems to be intent on competing this year, so I doubt they move Morrow for anything less than a middling prospect + 2nd rounder or a good prospect + lower pick.
Puempel + 2013 3rd rounder could get it done, but I'd prefer to keep Puempel than have one year of Morrow.
Michalek - Spezza - Doan
Morrow - Turris - Alfredsson
Latendress - Regin - Silfverberg
Greening - Z. Smith - Neil/JOB
Methot - Karlsson
Cowen - Bogosian
Phillips - Gonchar/Lundin
- next yr Ceci replaces Gonchar in the lineup, he is almost NHL ready now.
A piece like Bogosian would complete our defense, but he appears virtually untouchable for Winnipeg. (Good god, in a couple years that would be a beautiful defense with Ceci, though.) He's a cheap, young, strong, and capable defender with the ability to chip in offensively. Their fans claim he's the most untouchable piece on the team (E. Kane's another story) and the return for him would need to be very valuable + cheap for the Jets to be interested.
Stone + 1st for Bogosian? I'm not sure even that would be enough to persuade them to part with Bogo. That's a lot of question marks for a premier young defenseman already in the NHL.
Stone + 1st is not even remotely close.

A majority of posts in these forums make you wonder "are these people for real?" not only because of their non-sensical content, but also failing at basic grammar you'd expect from 3rd graders.
I know it's a gaming forum (and who cares about dumb things like punctuation right?), but is it so hard to learn the difference between "they're" "their" and "there", or to not use "rediculous" as an adjective describing D3?
It really makes them look stupid when they target game designers (all from reputed universities and make close to, if not more, $100K/year) and flame them for producing a game that apparently falls short of their "Expectations".
Free speech is one thing, but "destructive" free speech where rampant useless posts by trolls and misinformed folks distort and negatively influence the opinions of the passive community member who read the forums and get the wrong idea should be minimized. There are plenty of constructive criticisms of D3 (and these are usually the ones that get blue posts). We don't need more posts about the game designers' belly size or sexual preferences.
fyi: 100k is not a lot of money in orange county/ca (you know, where blizzard is) so lets leave the salaries out of this as they are insanely imbalanced across the country due to cost of living differences.

All of the intelligence departed this game a long time ago.
those not as quick to see the sham this game is is all that remains.
now that the brain drain is over, all you have are the leftovers trying to RMAH crap loot to each other and crying on forum
100k is obviously an arbitrary number that stands for "way above the average". it could be $75k for someone living in portland, OR, or $150K for someone in SF.
just for some perspective:
Get real, please. I live in Los Angeles and frequent OC. 100k is a lot of money for most people. For white-collar professionals at the top of their industry, you are correct, it's not breaking any records. Most of the people I know outside of my field make 45-50k per year, with college degrees.
Your point would be slightly more legitimate if we were talking New York, where costs are even more staggering, but even there, your average person isn't pulling 100k a year.
To the OP - I couldn't agree with you more. The "it's just a gaming forum" is a lame excuse. To me, what this means is that you can refrain from speaking like you're giving a professional presentation. Contractions and informal language is allowed. So is internet slang. That doesn't mean you can bash your skull into the keyboard and expect people to take you seriously.
When I was younger, my father was quick to remind me that, whether it is ultimately right or wrong, people are judged on presentation. The way you speak, write, dress, and behave dictates how other people will perceive you. I try, with every fiber of my being, not to dismiss people with tats on 90% of their body and pierced lips who come into a professional office and expect to be taken seriously. I remind myself that in the most general sense, we are all human beings and entitled to a certain dignity.
Then I visit the online forums and my eyes are hammered by "LOL! Wtf evr scrub! These devs r rediculous! How can you be 10 years making a game and their still beta testing it. Whole team shuould be fired!!!"
For those who are not native speakers, my criticism does not apply. I commend anyone for attempting to learn another language and speak it. For native speakers, I can only shake my head. Of course, your opinions aren't totally invalid just because you communicate like a retarded chimpanzee, but neither are they especially convincing. Like it or not, the way you communicate connotes, at a bare minimum, the level of effort you put into what you're saying. If you can't be bothered to write in a manner that doesn't resemble typographic vomit, then you can't expect me to give it much consideration.

Is this a general complaint about how people structure their displeasure with how this game was released and how it has changed since release?
I agree that a lot of posts are poorly worded and not constructive at all but I highly doubt Blizzard pays them even the slightest mind anyways.
As far as that there are more Blue responses to posts about cats, piano covers, what you wear when playing, etc . . .than constructive criticisms threads. But I can understand consider when they do post any kind of information it is usually flamed and picked apart.
where you ignorantly tried to assert that "free speech" and "destructive speech" are two different things
Actually, although perhaps misapplied in this instance, the broad concept OP is referring to is not "ignorant." Historically, under United Sates jurisprudence, there was indeed a distinction between general free speech and "destructive" speech. This distinction survives today, to a lesser extent. One may, for instance, incur liability if inciting another person to violence, although his participation is merely verbal. Again, this is a far cry from criticism on a gaming board. I'm only pointing out that the OP wasn't as misguided as you imply.
The second thing that made you appear "stupid" is where you made the statement trying to discredit the criticism of those who may not be educated as well
As unpopular as this may be, and (oh no!) politically incorrect, I'm comfortable using education as one criteria to evaluate other people's opinions/capabilities. Again, it's not all-encompassing. It might not even been an indication of noteworthy intelligence. After all, many university degrees require little more than showing up to class for four years and not being a total imbecile. That being said, they still require you to demonstrate enough dedication to follow through, and I repeat, not be a total imbecile (i.e. pass basic tests, write with a minimal competence, etc.).
Truth be told, I've found a more reliable determinant of intelligence is the amount of reading a person does. Whether formally schooled or not, I've observed a strong correlation between people who read frequently and higher intelligence.
All I'm suggesting is that education isn't such a terrible factor to consider, especially when evaluating complete strangers. Of course, the subject matter is also incredibly relevant. While you don't have to be a genius to weigh in on a game like D3 (so education is less relevant here), forgive me if I don't equally consider the advice of Joe the Hobo and a senior accountant at Ernst & Young when preparing my taxes. Education matters, but so does context.

I agree with pretty much everything you said except for this.
You're making assumptions with statements like this. You don't know for certain how much these people are making although you have a general ballpark from Glassdoor. You also have no way of verifying where (or if) the devs have attended any sort of college or university (getting into the industry requires a decent portfolio).
Additionally, with the way your post was written it comes across as just bashing on those that complain for each of those reasons you stated above. However while you might be correct in 90% of your assumptions, you can't say for certain that the people complaining don't make more than the devs supposedly do, or that there aren't other game devs here with complaints for that matter. I can promise you that you'd be wrong on both of those counts.
Be careful making assumptions. You know what they say about someone who assumes something.

A majority of posts in these forums make you wonder "are these people for real?" not only because of their non-sensical content, but also failing at basic grammar you'd expect from 3rd graders.
your comprehension skills are really poor, and you fabricate information to try to add credence to your little rant. nice try.
firstly, no one has the freedom to destructive speech, which is why you don't see things like child pornography as legal, or death threats in public tolerated. some information is pejorative and do more harm than good objectively (i'm not talking about subjective destructive information: like some would consider any discourse dismissive of religion as destructive, while others would consider it rational and progressive).
second, I'm not making any causal relationship between education and the credibility of posts. I'm saying a majority of derogatory posts lack any kind of constructive content and should be filtered. a person making posts like that are "MOST LIKELY" someone who's lazy and just plays all day and feels entitled to an amazing video game.
" Is someone who obtained the A.A.S degree from the Community College unable to give a well rounded criticism of Diablo 3 compared to a person who may have graduated with a Masters degree?"
no where in my post do i imply that, so you need to stop making !@#$ up. A middle school teenager has the ability to make a well-rounded post that lists what's wrong with D3 and possible remedies. My point is why try to bash the D3 community when your own writing skills make one wonder how you figured out how to use the internet in the first place? I'm trying to promote a healthy conversation about D3, not flame/troll.
nice to see you getting all worked up though.

Forgive me. It was more illustrative than it was a condemnation of our hairy cousins. I meant no disrespect to the noble ape, whose nimble antics at the local zoo captivated me on many a summer afternoon during my middle school years. Truth be told, I think chimps would do relatively well on the D3 boards, as measured against the average poster.
Kidding! (sorta)

Sounds like somebody chose the wrong field, then. 90-120k is a pretty normal range for a senior level software developer (aka 5 years or so of experience). Sure, it's a lot of money, but it's not like if you make 100k a year you even own a house around here.
I'm getting a steal of a deal only paying 1800 for a 2 br place around here. 100k means savings but not very much. if you're making 40-50k you better be living with your significant other or living in a studio place or else you are very uncomfortable.

Bald cypress
I'am having trouble with one of my bald cypress trees. I purchased it last summer and it grew very well. It is starting to put out buds and shoots all over, but they seem to die off. When I touch them they are dry and fall off. I have another bald cypress right next to it, and it is doing fine. I water them both the same, and they get the same sunlight. Any suggestions why the new growth is dying, and what to do
When I watred it today I noticed that the water stayed on top of the soil for awhile before sinkingin.I didn't think it would matter as I heard you can't overwater them, they live in water. Should I water this tree twice a day , or should I replase the soil with fresh faster draining soil?
You need to soak it well (if slowly) when you do water, til it comes out the drain holes. It may be rootbound (take a look) or just have been allowed to dry out so much the soil turned to concrete (and yes some grit in there would be a good idea, though you might want to wait now until the fall to do it unless you're repotting anyway because of the roots.) You can always allow the top to become dry between waterings, certainly the mix shouldn't be sodden all the time, but I'd water well when you do it.

mtp7878April 18, 2011
Installing wainscotting on first floor of home,
What sheen can you recommened painting the chair rail down to the baseboard including the wall to make it look like real panels?

I have thought of trying their new "advance" paint in satin sheen , I called BM they said semi gloss will not be around until june. Would you recommened this paint for this project and maybe the rest of the trim in the home?
And I was curious if we should prime first before we lay paint on the wainscotting?

Every case is different and dependent on its particular facts and circumstances, however, there is often the opportunity to receive a reduction at an administrative hearing for the MVC. I would need to know more information about your particular case to know whether there would be a strong enough basis to reduce the suspension.
8 lawyers agreed with this answer
The instructions are very helpful in providing you with examples of the kind of evidence you will need. However, evidence such as photos of you both together sharing various events, affidavits from friends and family attesting to your relationship, evidence from or leading up to your wedding are all helpful. Consider seeking the advice of experienced counsel before submitting your application.
3 lawyers agreed with this answer
The charges in this case appear particularly serious and as the other posts described, your brother should have proper representation in both states. The reason your brother should sit with a lawyer immediately is that the extradition process, a probation violation in NJ and a pending charge in Delaware all carry significant penalties and these decisions should be made in consideration of how each choice will effect what occurs with the other cases. Therefore, he needs to consult with counsel...
1 lawyer agreed with this answer
If the relationship is between your brother and his son, it could simply mean that USCIS has reached another stage of review and has updated (or proceeded past) another part of the process. Don't panic yet. If there is any problem, your brother will receive a form requesting additional information.
1 lawyer agreed with this answer
As the other attorneys have mentioned, this is a very serious charge and you should proceed very carefully, and only with the advice of experienced counsel. A full review of your case is necessary to determine how best to attack the State's case and the indictment. However, a motion to dismiss the indictment is possible short of going to trial, but as others have mentioned, they are rarely granted.

Is this terrarium viable?
Hello! I'm a first-time poster here. My daughter won an 8" round covered glass terrarium, and is thrilled to pieces with her prize. (She's also very proud that her 'prize' reflects her initiative to use a volume equation to estimate the number of items in a large jar instead of guessing. Woo!)
Mom here has never been too interested terrariums before; I guess creating a humid environment seems redundant as we live in Florida. But I am an experienced gardener. I look in this charcoal-and-marble-bottomed wonder she was lovingly handed at an earth day event, and things appear more and more amiss.
First, the mix of plants seems incompatible to me. I see what appears to be a leggy begonia, an equally leggy portacula, aloe vera, pink polka-dot plant, and a grass growing from a corm. Will these plants actually live together in a terrarium or is this a hot mess?
Next, I was concerned that nearly all the plants have soft, brown shriveled brown areas on their leaves that looked almost like a wilt. I pinched them off just now. If it is a wilt, fungus, or other weirdness how do you deal with it in this biosphere setup?
Finally, how should this smell? When I lifted the lid it smelled mustier than expected, to point of slightly soured. Is that normal, especially with just charcoal and glass in the bottom? (btw I have no idea what kind of water has been used)
This is sitting smack-dab in a place of great honor, the middle of the breakfast room table. It gets filtered indirect sunlight at least 10 hours.
I chuckled when I saw a heading about a fifty-something year old terrarium. Our sweet, glass-ensconced centerpiece is looking somewhat questionable to me after about that many hours.
What are your thoughts? Will this work? I'm sure my daughter would like to keep it intact (if possible). Any suggestions? Thank you!
Well the good news is that you have some plant experience. The bad news is that you are quite correct ... this arrangement is indeed a "hot mess".
Unfortunately I don't have the time quite at this moment to go into the lengthy details. Until I or someone else does, perhaps you find it useful to start with the FAQ for this forum and then -- using this forum's search engine -- to seek out threads that may have useful info. There really is a great deal of info to be found here.
Some addition info that may prove useful for those who would offer advice ...
1) How big is the container?
2) What kind(s) of plants would your daughter most be interested in growing?
3) Will you be able to get either rain water, distilled water, or RO water for watering the terr?
(And congrats to your daughter on winning her prize!)
I personally am very skeptical of the claims made as to the "53yr-old" terr. There is the tendency to accept anything found on the internet as "true", but that is neither here nor there with regards to your post.
Is the terr your daughter won also 8" tall or is that just the width?
None of those plants will survive in an enclosed terr long term. Few plants, for that matter, will do well in the stagnant conditions of a sealed terr. Molds/fungi, however, will have an absolute "field day" under such conditions. The smaller the container, the more true this will be.
Does your daughter currently have any interest in gardening? A small terr like that will not be maintenance free. If she currently does like gardening, this will fit in with that interest. If she does not, then perhaps this terr will provide a "spark" to jumpstart an interest in gardening.
The majority of plants people generally use in terrs will -- if happy with the conditions -- quickly outgrow the space. This will then necessitate pruning from time to time. And because some plants send out 'runners' or because of 'volunteer' plants springing up from whatever media is used, occasional weeding will, in all likelihood, be needed. Nothing terribly laborious, but just a heads up on some maintenance aspects to be aware of. This is also something worth keeping in mind when choosing plants.
Should be done sparingly (more frequent watering will be needed should you and your daughter decide to leave the top off of the terr -- which would be my recommendation, btw). Remember that it is always better to err on the side of caution and use too little water than to use too much -- you can always add more water if needed, but removing excess water is virtually impossible from a practical point of view.
Only use rainwater, distilled water, or RO water. Tap water tends to contain too many minerals and other contaminants (like the fluoride many municipalities add to the water supply) which can quickly build up to lethal levels in the confines of a terr.
Bright indirect light is best though your kitchen table area will likely be far too dim from a plant's standpoint to be a "permanent" home. Avoid direct hot sun unless you wish to "cook" the terr's contents (and it doesn't take long for lethal temps to be reached -- especially in a sealed terr).
Choose plants that will stay tiny. Even most of those will require pruning/weeding every so often but will be less of a headache than larger plants.
Personally, I would advise you and your daughter to avoid cacti/succulents when you pick out the plants to use. Simply put, they do not make good long term terr plants. In providing for their high light requirements, one is likely to fry them. One overwatering mistake is all it takes to kill them off in most cases.
For cheap plant sources, you can check at your local big box store, but keep in mind that the plants will not likely be truly tiny growers. Things like polka dot plants (Hypoestes) or fittonia are common at the BBSs but will quickly out grow a terr. (They do offer the advantages though of being very cheap, easily obtained, and grow pretty fast.)
Ferns typically with completely overrun and outgrow such a small terr in no time.
Ivies, IME, are MAJOR spidermite magnets, and in an enclosed terr are highly subject to powdery mildew. I would not recommend using them.
There are a number of sources for mini plants -- unfortunately most are not truly mini enough for a terr that size. (In some cases they are sold while teeny but will get far too large over time.)
Black Jungle Terrarium Supply and Josh's Frogs are probably two of the best known suppliers of terr plants. They can easily be found online by Googling. Again, be forewarned that most of the plants they offer will not stay mini in comparison to a terr as small as your daughter's.
You might want to keep your eyes open in your search for plants for Epipremnum Pincushion or African Violet Blue Twinkle or Pink Twinkle. (The Twinkles will eventually try to take over a small terr like yours but they are easy enough to cut back.) The AVs mentioned aren't too terribly hard to find but the Epip. will likely be another story. I haven't seen it offered on any professional site. The link at the bottom of the page will take you to a page from my album. These are plants I sell from time to time. Most would be far too large for your daughter's terr, but you can see both photos of Pincushion and Blue Twinkle to see what they are like.
Don't use any of the garbage that has "fertilizer added". In the confines of a terr, one is likely to run into issues of mineral buildup.
A "light", "airy" mix with a lot of large particulates like perlite would be a wise choice. The media should be lightly moist before added to the terr. (When the moisten media is squeezed in your hand as you make a fist, no water should come dripping out. If it does then it is likely too wet.)
Don't bother with putting gravel or such in the bottom for a "drainage layer". The usefulness of such is a bunch of hokum in the majority of set-ups.
Media should occupy about 1/3-1/2 of a container that size. (I know, unfortunately, that does not leave you with much 'headroom' to play with.)
Hope this was helpful.

Binney had been acting strangely in recent weeks, according to unnamed sources. Reports of paranoid rants about "government monitoring everyone" were a common theme among associates.
Binney was found wearing nothing but a bathrobe and a cockring, although investigators found several hundred dollars sewn into his bathrobe, as well as two phone numbers - one for "Belle du Jour Exotic Dance Palace" and the other to "Dave's 24 Hour Falafel Delivery". Investigators also found a "huge" porn stash in his apartment, and several copies of porn star Ron Jeremy's auto-biography, "Ron Jeremy: The Hardest (Working) Man in Showbiz".
What disturbed investigators most, however, was a hidden cache of 73 cases of Zima. "What could one man possibly need with that much Zima?," said one bewildered and slightly shaken-looking young investigator. Older investigators are wondering about the significance of the number 73.
Binney was quoted as saying, "I'm not dead yet!" but we were unable to confirm that at press-time.
In other news, rape charges were brought against Bill Binney today, he has also openly admitted he is a homosexual, a pedophile, and an atheist. His wife has also left him because he has suffered from severe psychological disorders for several decades.
