That recurring thread, spun in a different way...
I'm at a loss for something to read. I'm looking for a book/series to hold me over until the second book in the Dagger and the Coin comes out. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Not sure how to describe my taste, but I'll do my best...
My favorites:
Prince of Thorns
Gene Wolfe
Dragon's Path (liked Abraham's sci fi novel too)
Entire & the Rose series - Kay Kenyon
George RR Martin
Felix Gilman
House of Suns
Zoo City
Etched City
Mortal Coils series
Land Fit for Heroes series
I recently read and liked (but didn't love):
Gardens of the Moon
Theft of Swords
Against the Light
Appreciated most of what I read from the Heroes (especially the opening), that said, I'm not all that interested in war. Couldn't get into the first book of First Law.
I'm a fan of Scott Lynch's world, but get irritated by the world saving scenarios his characters fall into. I'd prefer the series if the scope was more intimate.
Finished Gardens of the Moon and some of it I loved (neat ideas) but at times it got a bit too convenient with things coming together under all too convenient circumstances. Loved the beginning of the second book, but not sure I'm ready to commit the time.
I like and finished Theft of Swords and the first book in the second collection. Found the sections about the Empress more interesting than the stuff with the series leads. There are some neat ideas and D&D nostalgia that kept me reading. Once again things sometimes get wrapped up too neatly.
Haven't gotten into Brandon Sanderson's stuff. Characters come across as flat and cliched. Dialogue is cheesy.
Glen Cook = war doesn't keep my interest. I prefer smaller scale stories. Yeah, I know, I like Martin, but his characterization is cinematic and his world is fleshed out in a way I can't help but love it.
I feel like I should like Vandermeer's novels, but I like the ideas better than the execution. Too literary.
Mieville is obviously a talented writer, but his politics sometimes drain the wonder from his stories, that and he gets too descriptive.
Couldn't get through Amber, the story is too big. Didn't care about the characters. Neat ideas though.
I usually don't like Urban Fantasy/Detective Stories.
I like strange worlds. Surreal is good as long as it doesn't just become a literary device. I'm a fan of nostalgic nods to Dungeons & Dragons (TSR 1st edition with demons and scary magic, not Wizards of the Coast). I like elevated low brow, stories with surprising depth. I like horror with purpose. Characters who grow. Mythic ideas expressed in small things. I like conversations that make a reader think. I like books that have a sense of wonder, that breathe real magic.
Yeah... I'm a picky dick, some might say a prick... Please help! I'm happier when peaking in on strange people in strange lands whose decisions help me reflect on my own strange world.

Okay... Before it gets mentioned, I read and really liked Name of the Wind. My wife didn't like the second book so I didn't bother. I'll eventually give it a go.
Read the first book in Psalms of Issac but didn't like it enough to continue.
Started the Weight of Blood, but man... Other than some really cool descriptions of magic and nostalgia (screaming skulls, threads of magical will, a nod to Dragonlance Chronicles in the pair of main characters) silly dialogue and all too familiar Fantasy 101 themes led me to stop and look for something else.
Acacia had some good moments, but some of the character chapters didn't interest me at all.

We get a lot of "what can I read next" threads on just about a daily basis. We find that such posts usually get the same response. Actually looking at what's already on the Web site or utilizing our SEARCH function will usually answer most people's requests. Perhaps it is uncommon, but we like people to have a look around rather than just demand (even if it's polite!) immediate gratification for their own personal needs.
With such a large and complex site it can be difficult to see everything going on, admittedly. But if people think that there's answers out there they will point people in the general direction.
So, rather than people coming here and repeating the recommendations they've provided in other threads, I'll direct you to some of those threads:

Bakker maybe? Probably not quite right, but being excellent is always the most important criteria imo. Despite your aversion to Urban Fantasy I'd seriously recommend giving the Dresden Files a go, starting with book three, they get steadily better and build epic plots in volume of books rather than pages.
Oooh, or how about Guy Gavriel Kay? I've only read Tigana, but he might be right up your street.

Hi Rob, I visit this site daily and am aware of the various threads you posted. That said, I'm hoping by posting specifics about my likes and dislikes someone might magically appear and say "we have the same taste... You have to try...". Far easier than looking for a needle in a haystack. Selfish yes! But also appropriate for a Fantasy Forum. Any suggestions?

I've looked at Bakker but haven't bit. I'm concerned it will be philosophical without a sense of wonder. Seems bleak. I could be wrong though.
Read Tigana years ago and liked it. Standard fantasy politicized and done very well with good characterization. Not fun though. Not strange or otherworldly.
Dresden Files makes me nervous because it helped usher in a trend I'm not a fan of. I am interested in occult themes, hoodoo, etc. but the way these things are whitewashed, often with a Christian read (Hell, the Devil, Biblical themes and wars) just puts me off.
Thanks for your input

Two novels from this year might work for you, so far, both are on my very short list of best of 2012
Shadow Ops: Control Point by Myke Cole
Range of Ghosts by Elizabeth Bear
April 6th, 2012, 10:46 PM #9
I'm not a very big fan of it, but it sounds like maybe N. K. Jemisin's Hundred Thousand Kingdoms might be up your alley.

I've read mixed reviews about this series, but it does seem like something I might like. Thanks
I started reading the Last Dragon yesterday and so far so good, although it took a while to pull me in.
Has anyone here read the January Dancer? I loved Eifelheim and am curious about this series.

Surreal? Strange? I'm gonna go out on a limb and recommend Michael Moorcock's five novel "Dancers at the End of Time". I re-read these last year and found them as refreshing as ever. They are some years old. I'm not sure of current availability, though I'm almost possible I saw them in bookstores not terribly long ago. Haven't looked recently. A word of caution: These might not sit well with the more prudish amongst us, not that I would know.

Having scored a big hit with its Nature Valley Protein Bars last year, General Mills has gone searching for bigger shares of the better-for-you snack business. And it's enlisting some of its best-known brands, from Fiber One to Green Giant, in the hunt.
The Minneapolis-based CPG giant has done about all it can to overhaul its mainstay ready-to-eat cereal business in a more nutritious manner, including shifting nearly the entire portfolio to whole grains. But that category remains sluggish. Meanwhile, the company's Yoplait brand was caught flat-footed by the Greek-style yogurt craze and is still trying to catch up.
Focusing on its snack brands and on extending other brands into the snacking arena has become crucial for growth for General Mills. Snacks have been its strongest business for the last five years, with average annual sales growth topping 8 percent a year during that time.Continue reading...

This post has been updated with statements from Chobani and Dannon USA, both of whom are faced with disposing growing amounts of acid whey.
Greek yogurt continues to claim practically every new American yogurt eater in sight, but a fly has emerged in the ointment—or, more rather, a toxin in the culture. An article in Modern Farmer magazine about the production of "acid whey" in the making of Greek-style yogurt has been getting a lot of attention because of the potential implications of the problem.
First, the good news for Greek-style yogurt: It continues to burgeon, serving as the growth engine for what had become a relatively stagnant US yogurt business. Since occupying nearly nothing of the yogurt market six years ago, Greek-style yogurts have grown to 35 percent of the U.S yogurt trade, fueled by the success of the upstart brand Chobani as well as counter-forays by Dannon, Yoplait and others. American consumers have come to crave the substantial mouthfeel and satiety aspects of Greek-style yogurt as well as its tangy taste, compared with standard yogurt fare.
For New York state, the Greek-style bonanza has been huge because of the expansion of yogurt production by Chobani and Fage upstate in dairy country, giving New York a total of 29 yogurt plants. Dubbed the "Silicon Valley of Yogurt," New York now surpasses California in yogurt production by more than 100 million pounds.Continue reading...

If innovation is the lifeblood of business, then General Mills will be pumping hard in the new year. The CPG giant released news about more than 100 new products that it will launch in its U.S. retail portfolio alone during its fiscal 2013.
General Mills would like to generate between 4 percent and 5 percent of its sales from new products "and we think we will be very much in that range," CEO Ken Powell told Wall Street analysts during a conference call this week, according to Ad Age. "We want to make sure that we are launching products that are bringing new consumers into [their brand] franchise, and we have steadily improved that number."
The new products range from new varieties of Fiber One products to a Snickerdoodles flavor of Chex Mix Muddy Buddies. And if there are some underlying themes to the whole list, they would be peanut butter and chocolate, along with fiber and protein, according to a General Mills blog post detailing the roster of new products.Continue reading...

Just because Chobani has opened up a huge lead in the Greek-style category it invented — and that is reshaping the U.S. yogurt business — doesn't mean that others can't try to chip away. Dannon has grabbed a significant share after sensing the opportunity with Chobani's rapid rise.
Other players, big and small, also are attempting to make more noise and get their stakes of a Greek-style market that has been calculated at about $1.5 billion a year now and still growing by strong double-digits — even coming up in discussions of Greece's Eurozone crisis. Yoplait, Hain Celestial and the Pinkberry chain are among the brands that are making their own plays. Ben & Jerry's just revamped its frozen yogurt line to make Greek Yogurt the basis of the line. Fage and Chobani have a friend in U.S. senator Chuck Schumer.
The most closely watched Greek yogurt brand is Yoplait. The General Mills line, which has shared the top of the U.S. yogurt market with Dannon for many years, got a particularly late start in the Greek segment. But now it's launching 40 new yogurt products, and Greek yogurt will be the centerpiece of that rollout this summer.Continue reading...

brand strategy
Posted by Dale Buss on June 21, 2012 10:01 AM
Chobani made Greek-style yogurt part of the American food mainstream, and now the brand is trying to stay on top against catch-up efforts by every other major yogurt brand in the land.
Dannon, with its Oikos brand, has managed to join the startup Chobani brand on the top tier of the only category of yogurt consumption that is growing in the U.S. market these days. But the original Greek-yogurt brand in America, Fage, and Yoplait, which also is trying to play catch-up, are fading in their efforts to ride the boom that Chobani created.
Chobani already has become about a $1-billion concern over the past few years and owns nearly 50 percent of the category, according to a recent report by the Sanford Bernstein securities firm. Even after a furious catch-up effort, Dannon USA still has a less-than-20 percent share, and Fage 14 percent, while General Mills' Yoplait brand limps in with just 6 percent.
"We're dealing with some large organizations that aren't as nimble as Chobani," Niel Sandfort, director of marketing for Chobani, told brandchannel. "We're a billion-dollar company but still entrepreneurial. And we're continually investing in our core."Continue reading...

If you can boil water, then you can make this delicious snack. The secret is to not cook the shrimp too long.
Bring water, crab boil, lemon and celery to a boil. Simmer for five minutes and add shrimp. Return mixture to a boil and simmer shrimp until opaque, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Immediately remove pan from the stove and leave shrimp in water for 5 minutes to absorb more flavor. Drain, cool slightly.
Serve with a prepared dipping sauce or mix a spice blend with mayonnaise, lemon juice and horseradish.

Trial Judge Concludes The Deepwater Horizon Spill Caused By BP's Gross Negligence And Willful MisconductBy Jeanne Grasso, John Kimball, Gregory Linsin, Jonathan Waldron, Alan Weigel | Blank Rome LLP
New Development
On September 4, 2014 the federal district judge overseeing the multidistrict litigation resulting from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill issued long-awaited rulings as to liability. The court concluded that BP is subject to enhanced civil penalties under the Clean Water Act ("CWA") because the discharge of oil was the result of the company's "gross negligence" and "willful misconduct."
Action Items: In light of this ruling, offshore leaseholders, operators, and contractors will likely be held to an increased standard of care because the severity of the potential harm from a well blowout, explosion, and oil spill is great. Accordingly, leaseholders, operators, and contractors in the offshore industries should review their safety and environmental compliance policies and procedures to ensure they meet or exceed the high standard of care that may be applied to complex, high-risk drilling operations.
Following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill on April 20, 2010, multidistrict litigation was consolidated in the district court in New Orleans, Louisiana. The current trial, which involves two key cases filed against BP and the other entities involved in the drilling of the Macondo well, is being heard by the court without a jury pursuant to the court's admiralty jurisdiction.
The consolidated trial's first phase in early 2013 was to determine the liability of BP, Transocean, Halliburton, and other companies, and to assess, for the purposes of penalty calculation, whether the companies acted with gross negligence and willful misconduct with respect to the loss of well control and the resulting explosion, fire, and sinking of the rig.
The trial's second phase, which occurred during the fall of 2013, addressed the post-incident efforts to control the spill and the quantity of oil that spilled into the Gulf of Mexico. The judge has not yet issued a ruling with respect to the issues presented in the second phase. The third phase, which is scheduled to begin in January 2015, will focus on all other liability issues arising from the oil spill cleanup, including containment issues and the use of dispersants.
BP Oil Spill Penalty Could Reach 15% of Company's Market CapBy Jared Anderson
The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana found BP was grossly negligent with regard to the accident and its activities in conjunction with the Macondo well in the Gulf of Mexico. BP said it "strongly disagrees" with the finding and will immediately appeal. The number of barrels spilled remains in question and… Keep reading →

Brindisi : Michelin's recommendations
This trading and naval port has a daily ferry service to Greece. Not surprisingly, Greece has played a major role in the history of Brindisi: the city's name derives from the Greek word brenteséion ("stag head"). Once a port of embarkation for crusaders travelling to the Holy Land, Brindisi, along with Taranto and Bari, now forms part of the industrial "triangle" of southern Italy.

Nothing but the desk clerk and she was quite nice.
We did not stay the night. Room was musty and reeked of smoke as well. Building is in a state of disrepair and we were panhandled on the way in. We changed clothes and went to my high school reunion, went back and packed and drove 2 1/2 hours home during the night rather than stay there. The room was not particularly clean. There was not even a chain lock much less a deadbolt on the door, only the card key lock. I did not feel safe there.
EVERYTHING! It's nicely decorated, clean, comfortable,and the breakfast is fantastic!
No complaintsat all.
Nice size room. Loved the included internet and the fridge.
Parking was a little inconvenient but OK.
It was conveniently located on our travel route.
The beds were uncomfortable and the room smelled musty. The bathroom needed serious updating, but I expected as much for the price.
Close to a McDonald's & Waffle House.
The beds were like sleeping on the box spring instead of a matress. Bathroom door wouldn't close all the way. Room #242
The locks didn't work to well on any of the four rooms I had. Then they ran out of my room type.
i enjoyed the living room area and kitchen area available in the room.
There was no Ice bucket or anything to get ice with, had to go to the store to get ice. There was someones dirty socks in a drawer that was not mine. but the rest of the room was clean.
Friendly staff . Close to shopping and restruants. Spacious rooms .
Very close to the highway but not to many signals to get in
Those pillows was very nasty and smell old sweat,,never have this experience in best wester before I talk the lady in the front desk and she tall me she will gift me a different room so I talk her is o necesarly just send some body and replace those pillow wen I was in may way to eat some dinner ...after I come back to my room those nasty pillows was there in my room so I get Dow and the lady she ready left and the night shift manager just gift me some clean pillows and pillows cases and I have to take by my self and I ask her to can some one take care and she reply she was alone and just throw the nasty pillow in the floor
Location, comfy beds, and breakfast
No refrigerator in the rooms but I knew beforehand.
Breakfast was very nice. Staff was friendly. I like the sitting area. I would stay again.
Elevator broken, Lobby was overheated
This hotel has side access to the Wolfchase Galleria which keeps you from having to merge back on interstate to shop!!
Not a thing
Loved the room, water pressure was awesome! Hot tub was a bonus, breakfest was healthy and good, location was wonderful!
Rooms were pretty clean and updated,staff was friendly, location was good for our needs.
Breakfast was very limited, outside curtains, doors and parking lot, elevator all need serious work and updates along with cleaning.
Very friendly staff and the bed was very comfortable.
The bathrooms were dirty and the breakfast in the morning was not so great...
I like to run and this hotel is about a mile from beautiful Shelby Farm park. Better than next door Comfort inn. I staid last year. Internet was very good
Room isn't very clean. And fan in the bathroom worked 24/7 loudly. I stayed for 5 nights - they didn't change sheets.
It was very clean and really was a neat place to stay. It was quiet. I actually got more than I reserved in the room. The breakfast was very good quality. I would stay here again.
Did not like Sunday morning breakfast with the son, he was very lazy, the food wasn't ready at 7 am, the coffee was just hot water run through, the griddle wasn't hot for waffles. But it was not like this with the parents they were very attentive.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Jewels3 Stars Out Of 5God GirlNovember 22, 2014JewelsQuality: 3Value: 4Meets Expectations: 4I was excited to read this book to my daughter. The topics were relevant to her age and maturity. I was a little frustrated with the joy/happiness chapter. The author didn't seem to have a clear understanding of the difference between the two words. It led for some interesting teachable moments. Other than that, the book met the needs of a young godly woman.

It is great for younger girls who need truth backed up by scripture. The book has some great conversation starters and is broken down into easy to discuss categories. I definitely recommend for high school age girls.

It pushes you to examine yourself. Ladies who rarely open up felt compelled to do so during the discussion of chapters in this book. The title alone touches that curious nerve - what is the definition of God Girl? What does it take to be a God Girl or am I already one of His? These questions are answered in the book.

text: Lauren Canario who first attained notoriety when she was arrested in the Kelo sitz in New London in the eminent domain case has reemerged in NH and she is raising hell. Initially she was arrested for visiting the Browns, the income tax people, and most recently for not having her car inspected. Maybe NH should reconsider the logo on its license plates.. Interesting story on her doing time in Conn., then the Keene free press and then there is a blog about her entitled free lauren canario.. she is now out of jail, after spending 35 days in solitary confinement.. but will probably wind up there again soon. http://www.homelandstupidity.us/2006/12/22/lauren-canario-freed-after-three-months/ Almost three months to the day from when she was arrested, eminent domain protester Lauren Canario, the last holdout in the Kelo v. New London case, has been released from jail. Canario, 49, was arrested September 22 and held on $20,000 bond after she refused to leave one of the Fort Trumbull homes in New London, Conn., which had been seized using eminent domain. She was protesting the taking of the neighborhood for private economic development. In 2005, the Supreme Court gave its approval to the taking in Kelo v. New London, resulting in national outrage. Canario, one of those outraged, moved from Las Vegas, Nev., to New London and lived in one of the seized buildings until her September arrest. http://freelaurencanario.com/ a blog about her time in NH prison.. http://www.keenefreepress.com/mambo/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=673&Itemid=36 Fun day today. A welcome change from Halloween when my toga party flopped. I wore sheets from my bed and stood next to my door all night. No one noticed. Washed up when the lights came on 7am or so. Refused oatmeal, toast, "butter", and milk as usual. It's Friday and I'm expecting word of my trial date. With breakfast a stack of disciplinary hearing notices came. One for threat to security of the facility, my usual offense, when I get out of my cell, refuse to return and they call an alarm to drag me back. 2 for failure to maintain personal hygiene, it's interesting they didn't cite me for this during my first 26 days when they didn't offer me so much as a paper tower for cleaning my cell. Suddenly they come everyday asking if I'll clean my cell. Sure I said the first day and did so. Next days I refused because everything was still clean. The last 3 notices are something new. "Creating/threatening a riot, work stoppage, or demonstration". Wow! I started 3 riots? All right! No I find it's for my hunger strike of 3 meals Monday. I started saying "I wont eat until I get some out-of-cell-time" at each meal. Apparently that's a demonstration, or maybe a work stoppage (?) I'll find out tomorrow. Funny stuff. I should demand that every minute of my presence here be recognized as a demonstration. Perfected a couple sudoku puzzles, took a nap. "threatened a demonstration" again by refusing lunch. "Canario, attorney visit!" Hey, I'm getting some out-of-cell-time. "Put on your mask and gloves!" I ignore them. I exit my cell. Hey, no cuffs for the walk to the meeting room! I get to the first door. "Face the wall, hands over your head, palms out!" I turn towards 3 guards wearing medical masks and gloves, and smile. "Turn around", they say. I know I can beat this one, the public defender can see us from here. After demanding a few more time I say "Open the door" and it unlocks. I smile and greet Mr. Sculimbrere. He's 29 years old, short dark hair, glasses, a bit short, a bit thick around the middle. I like him because he majored in philosophy, we both like Socrates, and gets a gleam in his eye when he talks about going to court. He says court Nov 7th, I smile I'll probably see Jim on his birthday. He describes motions, evidence, New Hampshire law. His strategy is to suppress the evidence of my history of protesting and then argue the "resisting arrest" cha rge on the grounds that New Hampshire 's article 10 – the right of revolution includes non-violent protests. That sounds contradictory, I tell him so. I ask if he's ever been to court. Yes, he says, he's even won jury trials. He says he'll couch the concept of protesting in legal terms. He says he knows the judge Crocker, she's sympathetic, she's a former 60s radical feminist. She's the best possible for this case. He asks I walk into the courtroom. I gave my word. He asks if I can ask the 2nd amendment crew to leave weapons outside the courtroom. I would, but I can't use the phone or mail. Candlelight vigil on Monday. Yeah, should be spectacular, I say. Should I go? He asks. Yeah, if you'd like to. Will it be a jury trial?, I ask. Not at first, he says, but if we lose we can, under New Hampshire law, get a brand new trial with a jury. Weird. I guess that means if we win the prosecution can get a brand new trial with a jury, too.

Chateau D'Ax 'Roma' leather livingroom set in espresso
patti85January 23, 2010
Hey all, looking for a photo of the Chateau D'Ax "Roma" leather livingroom set in espresso. Saw the set at our local Macy's store and love the style, and found it to be very comfortable. I can't seem to locate a store that carries any of the pieces in the espresso color, nor do they seem to have a swatch in that color. Though the "cafe latte" color is very nice, it's a bit light for me! I have a country primitive decor and have been looking for leather for awhile now, it's our first leather! This set does seem a bit traditional for me, but you can dress up anything to fit your decor if it's comfortable enough! Anyhow, i'm wondering if anyone has this set and can send a photo! Much appreciated! Thanks!
