"Third times a charm?"
In this third book by Valerie Bowman we get to see Lord Perfect's story as he finds romance, pursues and then discards it only to eventually make peace with his perfection and throw off his perfect mantle to become human like the rest of us and truly fall in love. It's a nice story but not as much fun as her first two books.
The book starts out as the story of a Duchess accused of murdering her husband and half way through the book when we find out who the real murderer is I felt like the whole thing was swept under the carpet and thrown away leaving me feeling a little let down and abandoned as I wondered where the story would go with so much time left. Then I felt like the story floundered from one step to the next making it feel disjointed and broken. It's eventual outcome came back around but it did feel very choppy.
Overall it's a nice story and I gave it four stars because I enjoyed the first two books so much and this one had many returning characters. I highly recommend reading the first two books before taking this one on. This was not my favorite but I do hope she continues to write more books as I have enjoyed Ms. Bowman's other stories very much. It wasn't a bad book by any means but for me it was just OK.
"Great story, great performance"
I love Sherry Hill's writing, she makes her characters complete with real human conditions. This story is filled with romance and anguish. Boy wants girl, gets girl and then decides he doesn't want her. The obstacles they both overcome to understand each other is touching and heart warming. Corrie James does an excellent job narrating this story.
"Didn't enjoy the narrator"
I'm a huge fan of Valerie Bowman and have read or listened to all of her books. This is a great story but for me personally it was ruined by the narrator. While she is charming and well spoken her cadence was to fast and her voice made the characters sound very young and child like. I couldn't get into the story and had to stop half way through and get the book to read. I enjoyed the plot and story very much, just didn't enjoy the narrator.
"More please!!!"
I thoroughly enjoyed this story by Sophie Nash. I wasn't familiar with her writing and took a gamble buying this book but it was good fun and a great read. I'm looking forward to more books by this author. The narrator was very good, she spoke very clearly and had many different voices. The plot twist and turns were great and I really want to listen to the other books in this series. Very credit worthy.
"Heartbreakingly tender"
I loved the fragility of the hero and heroine in this tender story of a forced marriage that turns into friendship and eventually love. The main characters felt very human and their story was told with such tender loving care you couldn't help but root for them. Every character was well fleshed out and given respect and dignity. This was an excellent read and very credit worthy. Jenny Sterlin will whisk you away to another time and place with her soothing voice.
"Well done Ms. Thomas, you have a new fan"
I enjoyed the story line in this book very much. The author Sherry Thomas takes us on an unexpected journey. How two people could dislike each other more and still end up together is a writing feat worthy of being shared. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator too. Her ability to do different characters and not read to fast should be applauded. It's difficult in historical romance to change up the boy meets girl and falls in love plot line but Ms. Thomas did it wonderfully.
"I couldn't stop listening"
I couldn't pull the headphones out of my ears. It was funny, charming, sad and exhilarating. The hero and heroine are so human they could exist today. I liked that the heroine was a strong self sufficent woman and the hero was equal measure of proud and vain. Together they struggle to find happiness together. Can't wait to read another book by Ms. Thomas, I was thoroughly pleased.
"I want my own Cade"
I don't read many books written in the first person so when it first started I was disappointed but that quickly gave way to interest which gave way to heart palpitations. When Stella finds herself engaged and married the Cade MacKennzie she fears he will be like every other man in her life, awful. She dreads being married to someone known as a "brute". Having only known Pain and betrayal at the hands of her father and his men, she fears her new husband and his reputation. The journey the author takes us on is one of a young girl learning that everyone has there faults and virtues as she explores her new marriage and life in the midst of turmoil and upheaval. Very well narrated and so touching you will fall in love with both characters.
"Glad I stumbled on this"
I enjoyed this story. There were a lot of twists and turns that made it a bit unpredictable. A nice change from the usual love story. It's not as steamy as some love stories so if your not into that you will really enjoy.
"More twists and turns than a Highland road"
Nice story line filled with several plot twists that take the reader out of the expected and into a genuine story. I wanted a light read that was simple and uncomplicated since my life of late has been very complicated. I thought this might be the book for that and while I was wrong I wasn't disappointed.
All the characters are well flushed out and very human. The storyline flows very nicely and is filled with romance and drama. Even though there were no big sex scenes it was still a good solid story. Definitely worth a credit.
Elizabeth Wiley is an excellent narrator. Her cadence and speech patterns are spot on and her voices are rich and varied making each character identifiable. I wish she could narrate more romances.

The Upper Midwest Sprintcar Series (UMSS) and the St. Croix Valley Raceway (SCVR) are proud to announce the running of the first UMSS Dan Grams Memorial Race for the UMSS 360 winged sprint cars on Friday night July 26 at the 1/4 mile dirt oval located near St. Croix Falls, Wisconsin. As we honor and celebrate the life of sprint car racer Dan Grams of Gaylord, this special evening will be in memory of Dan and his passion for sprint car racing. Dan tragically lost his life in an automobile accident in December 2012. Dan Grams competed on several occasions with the UMSS in 2012 and was set to race numerous times with the series in 2013. Lowell Grams is planning on having Dan's #13 sprint car on display at SCVR for this special memorial event.
With tremendous sponsorship help from Pacific Equipment and GRP Motorsports, the 1st Annual UMSS Dan Grams Memorial will pay $1,300 to win the 26 lap feature race. The first place payout is in memory of Dan's car number 13 while the number of feature race laps are twice that number. The 26 lap UMSS feature race at SCVR on July 26 is currently scheduled to pay out as follows: (1) $1,300, (2) $750, (3) $600, (4) $500, (5) $400, (6) $375, (7) $325, (8) $275, (9) $225, (10) $200, (11-12) $175, (13-20) $150. We are looking for sponsors for the 13th place finishing position in the feature and the race leader on lap 13 of the feature with the goal of having each of the above bonuses pay $130. The UMSS will run their typical double round of qualifiers with heats and challenge races to determine the starting lineup for the $1,300 to win UMSS Dan Grams Memorial presented by Pacific Equipment and GRP Motorsports. For sponsorship opportunities at this event, please email Greg Parent at email@example.com or call SCVR track co-owner Ron Bernhagen at 612-363-5302.
The UMSS winged sprints will race the following night July 27 at the Cedar Lake Speedway with $1,000 to win the feature race thanks to some sponsorship help from GRP Motorsports, giving the winged warriors a double header weekend to close out the month of July. The UMSS Traditional sprints will also be on the program each night, allowing sprint car fans the opportunity to see both divisions in action at SCVR and CLS on July 26-27. The two tracks are located about a half hour drive from each other. Make plans now to attend both races and be a part of the first UMSS Dan Grams Memorial on July 26 for a great evening of sprint car racing UMSS style.

Midwest Living Review
This family-owned winery focuses on local fruit flavors.
Located in an old creamery in downtown Lanesboro, Scenic Valley Winery showcases the diversity of locally made wines. While the family-owned winery tends toward fruity wines such as rhubarb, cranberry and raspberry, it's starting to venture into grape wines as well. Our personal favorite is cranberry, especially come Thanksgiving Day. You'll also find a variety of specialty cooking wines and locally made gifts.

Compile the WattsUp utility and then place it at /usr/bin/wattsup and then PTS should be able to detect it with system-sensors command or when setting the export MONITOR=all environment variable during benchmarking.
I've installed Phoronix Test Suite on my Linux machine (Ubuntu 12.04). When I type "phoronix-test-suite system-sensors," the System Power Consumption is listed under "Unsupported Sensors." I have a Wattsup Pro Power meter connected to my machine and I have also installed the Linux Utility found on the Wattsup website under Support. How can I get the Phoronix Test Suite to receive data from the Wattsup Pro?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you, that worked! Is there a way to see the exact numbers rather than just the graphs? I was hoping to use Phoronix Test Suite partly as a data logger for the Wattsup Meter and would like to find a way to see the numbers used to produce the graph.
Michael Larabel
I'm sorry if my question seems incredibly mundane or stupid. But I'm having difficulty with this...how many I access this XML file? And will the XML file show both the time and power data?
Try looking in ~/.phoronix-test-suite/test-results/
Find the name of your test and there should be an XML file that you can cat to look at

Suzanne S.Edgewood, WAHairBlondeColor Treated HairInstant Moisture Any Time Of Day!I just bought my second bottle and am happy with the results from it. I gives my hair instant moisture and shine, and I can use it any time of day. Usually, I just use it only once in the morning,after I blow dry. Love it! Plus, it really smells awesomely clean. Lightweight too.posted Feb 2, 2014Link to this post
Suzanne S.Edgewood, WAHairBlondeColor Treated HairMy Favorite New Secret Weapon! Love This!Smells GREAT, gives my hair shine and reduces frizz! Love, love, LOVE this stuff! I got it on a customer rating sale, and gave it a chance. So glad I did! Thanks everyone, for giving it such a high rating and getting my attention! Using it every day after I blow dry, for added protection for my flat iron. Very happy with this product line!posted Oct 28, 2013Link to this post
JudyGood But Not GreatThis worked well enough but did not have the effect I was anticipating. Definitely helps fight frizz but didn't add as much shine as I had hoped. I much prefer the Alterna Bamboo Kendri Dry Oil Mist to this...that product eliminates frizz, adds briliant shine and does not weigh down your hair.posted Aug 19, 2012Link to this post
ReneaNothing Else Like It!There's nothing else out there like it. At least not that I've tried and I've tried a lot of different products. Most products either don't work or make your hair look and feel greasy or just plain un-natural. I'd love to find something less expensive, though, as I can't afford to buy this on a regular basis :(posted Mar 28, 2010Link to this post
JolieSomewhere, California, USAMakes Hair Very SoftI purchased this product about 2 months ago. When your hair is frizzy you'll try anything once and move on, right?. It is true. This spray will soften your hair, make it shiny, etc. for a few minutes after you've sprayed it into your hair but after it dries your hair will return to normal.

Cold and wet, heavy rain, thick mud and chilling temperatures made for a hard few days. Here are a selction of images from working the 2012 harvest with Drouhin Laroze.

Specter becomes a Democrat
What's your opinion of Arlen Specter changing party affiliation?
Good! He was a RINO anyway, get that stinkin' liberal scum out of the Republican party!
0 (0%)
Good! Specter showed that he understands the Republicans have been hijacked by an extremist fringe!
2 (20%)
Whatever. Specter is just another pol, doing the expedient thing to ensure his reelection.
5 (50%)
Does it matter? Arlen marches to a different drummer -- sometimes good, sometimes bad. In the bigger picture, nothing changes.

Wasn't there a Magic Bullet or Scottish Law party he could have joined?

IMO, as someone who is stuck working in the purgatory that is a somewhat Southern Baptist church, I can tell you that it is easier to be the more conservative type in a group of liberals than vice-versa.

I think this is indicative of how far right the Republicans have shifted in the last twenty years. He hasn't become more liberal, it's the Party that's become more "conservative". He also knew he couldn't win the primary.
Same thing for Justice Souter. George H. Bush appointed him when he was thought as more of a conservative judge, but now he is considered part of the "liberal" wing. He hasn't changed the way he thinks, its the priorities of the Republican Party that has changed.
Only 21% percent of Americans currently identify themselves as Republicans. Give them some more time, and they will be polling down with the Libertarians, and the Green Party.

Bingo on the second sentence in your post. THAT is the reason for the shift, plain and simple. It's the same song and dance Lieberman gave when he went independent. The talking heads on the right painted it as indication of the demise of the Democratic party, while it was merely so he could keep his job. Specter wisely made the shift before losing the primary.
As for your first sentence, it is simply the echoing of a pretty popular sentiment that I find extremely difficult if not impossible to buy. As with all social and political movements, there is never one answer as to why. There is only the collision of a mulitude of reasons that we as educated citizens debate and discuss with each other to better understand the entirety of it. While there is evidence that some in the Republican party have moved too far to the right, it is folly to embrace it as the sole reason or even the leading reason for Specters defection and the decline of party support among Americans. For a lot of reasons (a couple posted below just to get some discussion) I cannot support that the party itself has moved too far to the right, or is in danger of becoming a fringe party like the Libertarians. We heard the same arguments about the demise of the Democrats, a party that moved too far to the left in 2004.
1. The presidency of George W. Bush.
I've posted this in the past, so I'll abbreviate it again by stating that as Bush proclaimed himself as a conservative, he increased the size and scope of the federal government through policies that directly contradicted conservative principles. He didn't alienate people with a move too far to the right.
2. The nomination of John McCain.
The Obama/Clinton primary was so close and so heated it took much of the attention away from how early and easily McCain wrapped up the Republican nomination. The Republican Party nominated a presidential candidate that was rumored to be considered a running mate for the liberal New England flip flopper in 2004. When looking at Republican leadership over the past 20 years, are you intimating that McCain is MORE conservative? Looking at other Republican candidates for the nomination in 2008, which were LESS conservative than McCain? He beat Ron Paul, Fred Thompson, Mitt Romney, and Mike Huckabee. Rudy could be argued as less conservative than McCain, but other than that, the men that bowed out of the nomination early were further to the right than the Republican nominee. Karl Rove gets a lot of praise from Republicans for orchestrating a Bush reelection in 2004. Perhaps more masterful was Axelrod this past election. He and others moved Obama towards the middle, and the Republicans nominated a Senator already there. What happened was the young, energetic, charismatic "moderate" became the emblem of hope and change during difficult times for many, and happened to run against an old, not as well spoken "moderate" who was the emblem of the establishment and the "same old shit, different day" theory.
I know steelerfan mentioned a 20 year window and I've limited by analysis to less than half that period. I'll bore you with that later!

I will agree with you Bamf, that Specter is becoming a Democrat to lengthen his Senate career. He was always a somewhat moderate Republican though, and that kinda proves my point. Why couldn't he win his primary? Because he was going to face an extremely conservative opponent. What does that say about the people currently voting Republican? Seems like that if a longtime moderate would be ousted by a right winger, then the Party, at least in that State, is moving in that direction( right wingers staying; moderates becoming Independents).
I don't think the Republicans are in imminent danger of going away, but they are in danger of being marginalized as a national party. There are ,and have been for quite some time, more registered Dems than Repubs in the Nation. The coalition that formed in the early nineties (western Libertarians, evangelicals, southern whites, financial conservatives, national security advocates) to overcome the loss of the RR Dems all were promised different things, with none being eventually delivered. The promise of States' rights and a smaller Federal government hasn't been delivered to the Libertarians. Certainly the divisive social wedge issues promised to the evangelicals haven't been made good on. A true financial conservative would have a hard time being Republican right now after what Bush did. The coalition is breaking up, and it seems to most moderates that the right wing(Limbaugh, Palin, Bachman) of the Party is speaking up more right now, then the other aspects of the Party. The media takes some blame here, but perception is reality.
Getting to your two examples, obviously there is no doubt that Bush and Co strayed from the Republican outline. But only in two area's, huge they may be( I won't get into the inept things like Katrina, 9/11, wars). Fiscal responsibility, and States' rights. He blew up the budget, and made the Feds extremely powerful. Other than that, he towed the line, as evidenced by his current approval rating which is eerily similar to the % of people admitting they're Republican. Bush didn't do any favors for the Party because he alienated a couple pieces to the puzzle, but like I said before, perception is reality, and because there is a R next to his name, most people think that's what the Republican Party stands for. No?
McCain was a moderate for sure, but he was chosen by the actual constituency of the Party, not the leadership. If you remember, McCain wasn't favored by the leadership of the Party(RNC, Bush, Limbaugh, Dobson), nor the evangelical block. But when people actually voted, the more reasonable McCain beat out the others, which was a great thing IMO. I was/am an Obama supporter, but if he was going to lose to someone, I wanted it to be McCain. But then came the Palin nom. Such an obvious cave to the right leaning side of the Party and the leadership. You can't mention the McCain nom without bringing up Sarah, which pretty much cancels out the moderate aspect of McCain's nom.
This is all my conjecture of course, but I believe there still is a Republican Party out there, just that the moderate side isn't identifying itself with the likes of Bush, Steele, Palin, and Limbaugh. This is where I think the shift has happened. Not that more actual people have become increasingly right leaning, but the most vocal part of the party leadership has been primarily from the rightest of right. This is giving the impression that the Republicans as a group favor some the policies the leadership is advocating. This in turn is turning moderate Repubs, into Independents (because most are not going to pull a Specter). Being the Party of "No" isn't helping either.
I don't discount what you are saying about there being more than one reason for all this. It's a complex situation that fluctuates back and forth over the years. But there is somewhat of a mob mentality in America (ie: H1N1 insanity), and hopefully the Republican party can return to some of its admirable roots and reverse the growing perception of what the Party stands for. I hope they do, because the Dems are far from perfect.
Good discussion though Bamf, and I am interested to hear more from your perspective.

Glucose Testing via Earlobe, Not Stressful Fingersticks
Ah, non-invasive glucose testing. It's the dreamed-about Holy Grail of Diabetes, something we know could someday exist but seems to remain just beyond reach.
There have been oodles of attempts at non-invasive approaches through the years -- everything from the failed GlucoWatch concept to more recent designs promising glucose readings through tattoos, tears, sweat, saliva, fingerprint and eyeball scans, and even contact lenses.
Now there's another one on the scene, Folks. This one is called…

McDonald flirts with no-no, Bucs drop opener
PITTSBURGH -- James McDonald already knew about breaking up no-hitters. On Wednesday, he learned something about trying to pitch them: Not easy.
On a bright afternoon, in the first game of a doubleheader at PNC Park, McDonald perpetuated the fantasy into the seventh inning. The dream died on Troy Tulowitzki's infield single with none out -- the only hit McDonald allowed in a sterling seven-inning turn. Tyler Colvin's eighth-inning sacrifice fly ultimately gave Colorado a 2-1 win -- and backed the Bucs into a Major League record. They've yet to score or allow more than five runs in any of their 17 games, tying the 1943 Tigers' mark for the longest such season-opening stretch. That hit by Tulowitzki led to the run that snapped a scoreless tie. McDonald at least was spared a harsh loss when Pedro Alvarez -- off whose glove Tulowitzki had singled minutes earlier -- led off the bottom of the seventh with a game-tying solo homer off Juan Nicasio. McDonald fell short of what likely would have been an unprecedented parlay: Breaking up and pitching a no-hitter in the same month. On April 13 in San Francisco, his single in the sixth had been the only thing to come between Matt Cain and a perfect game. McDonald allowed the one hit and one run in his seven innings, walking three and striking out eight. Nicasio was a worthy and dogged adversary, going 6 2/3 innings on a yield of nine hits and a run, with one walk and five whiffs. McDonald and Nicasio thus collaborated on a tough act to follow for nightcap starters Charlie Morton of the Bucs and the Rockies' Jhoulys Chacin. As often happens, the Rockies broke up McDonald's no-hitter and shutout almost simultaneously. Carlos Gonzalez was aboard with a leadoff walk when Tulowitzki's hard-hit ball into the hole could be only deflected by Alvarez. Gonzalez reached second on that infield single, moved to third on a wild pitch, and a little later scored on Jason Giambi's sacrifice fly. Even before he allowed a hit, McDonald had to pitch out of a jam. He dug a hole for himself by hitting Giambi with his second pitch of the fifth, and following that with a four-pitch walk of Michael Cuddyer. Nonplussed, McDonald got Wilin Rosario to bounce into a double play and, with Cuddyer on third and only one breaking ball in the dirt from scoring, turned Chris Nelson into his fifth strikeout victim. As the game progressed, the spectre of a forsaken first-inning run grew larger. Alex Presley, having led off the game with a single, went for a steal of second with Andrew McCutchen at bat. Presley was erased on catcher Rosario's throw. Naturally, McCutchen rocked the very next pitch to the base of the center-field wall for a double that would have scored Presley.Tom Singer is a reporter for MLB.com and writes an MLBlog Change for a Nickel.

This study, conducted by anthropologist Patrick Devlieger, differs from other research into the impact of Special Olympics in that it examines the cultural context and influence of a country and how this unique aspect of each Program affects the implementation of Special Olympics activities and their effect on athletes, families and others involved in the movement.
Part of the Game, directed by Patrick Devlieger.
Instead of attempting to test a hypothesis, the study strives to explain the underlying mechanisms used by Special Olympics Programs in four developing counties in four different continents to succeed across widely varying geographic, cultural, political and socio-economic settings.
The countries studied were Namibia, Paraguay, Thailand, and Uzbekistan. Information for the study was collected through interviews with approximately 30 people identified as playing a role in Special Olympics in each of the four countries as well as visits to relevant Special Olympic events. Interviews and site visits were recorded for the production of a documentary film.
Results showed that there is wide variety in how Special Olympics programming is implemented in different countries, but that each has a positive impact on athletes and others involved.
Special Olympics breaks through numerous barriers -- between people with and without intellectual disabilities, between people from different socioeconomic groups, between public and private sectors, and international boundaries that divide nations. At the local level, Special Olympics creates opportunities for people with intellectual disabilities and families to surpass the boundaries of their own expectations.
The way Special Olympics is locally embedded varies from country to country, with one influencing factor being the existence of other sports activities for people with disabilities. There are commonalities as well, however. In each country studied, Special Olympics is both a local and transnational network of human and non-human actors mutually reinforcing one another.
Implementation of Special Olympics programming requires a good fit within the local culture, but certain commonalities, such as the Special Olympics 'brand,' can exist.

Customer Reviews for Child Safe Large Windows Dining Room Multi-colored
"Great value for money!"
By amberdana from Becker MN
I spent a lot of time shopping for custom drapes for my two big picture windows; it was impossible to find off the rack drapes wide enough, and custom drapes through Costco's partner company were insanely expensive. I am so happy I found Blindsgalore--the employees I telephoned and emailed were so professional, and I am so happy with how great my drapes look!

Hello guys..Australia tour is one of the best tour in my history because i am also tourist that's why i know the beauty of the Australia...
New year tours
@callahan - you're a dropkick!
@Pearl65 - I think DT borrowed the world atlas from Rush - they don't know what "world" means either. Still, this discussion does give a fellow who is 53 but just discovered DT a few weeks ago hope that they will make it here at some point (don't ask what I've been listening to for the last 25 years - one clue above...)
As for where I'd like to see DT in Oz? Sydney - Acer would be good if they did it like Metallica did for the DM tour, or Brisbane Empty Container Centre, or Newcastle EC. Failing those I would buy plane tickets to anywhere in OZ to see this band!
Cheers Emjem
I'm still hoping for a tour later in the year. Might be a very optimistic dream, but you have to dream...
I still reckon bands could benefit a lot from using something like kickstarter (http://www.kickstarter.com/) to sound out potential tour destinations. Kickstarter is this brilliant concept where you can put an idea up and people can elect to sponsor the idea at various levels for some sort of investment in whatever's up for grabs. So, in computer games sense, you can elect to sponsor a game for say $20 which gets you a copy of the game, $50 gets you a copy of the game plus your name in the closing credits (or something like that) up to $500 where you get a character in the game and you get a speaking part.
So, let's say DT put an Australian tour on kickstarter and give fans the opportunity to express an interest.
So, something like:
$250 guaranteed first pick of a ticket plus meet & greet
$100 might get you a guaranteed second pick of a ticket (after the $250 pick) and an "express line" entry to a signing somewhere
$50 might get you a guaranteed third pick of a ticket (after the $100 pick) and a poster
$20 might get you a guaranteed ticket
If the band doesn't tour, you get your money back and if the band does tour the amount you've sponsored comes off your ticket price. I think it would be a great way for a band (or promoters I guess) to gauge interest in certain countries that they're not sure of their popularity in. There's already a Music section in kickstarter but it's mainly used for bands to get funds for albums.
Sydney!! Would love to see my all time favourite band playing at one of the big sydney venues. Sydney Entertainment Centre or Newcastle Entertainment Centre would be preferable for you guys. Please come down to Australia, you guys have sooo many fans over here that are dying to see you in concert format. If you do come down any chance you could get Mike Mangini to do a drum clinic in sydney? That would be a dream come true meeting my idol and learning from him.
Hi Felo,
Thanks for that! I did see the Japan concerts coming up so am hoping that they'll cross the sea to come visit! Just hoping to get an official announcement soon so I can plan a few days off work to maximize the Dream Theater experience!
I hope they time their schedule so you can catch them! Will keep crossing my fingers and watching the tour page for further word!
Gunga Din.
@Gunga Din: Bro, I got here looking for the same information, and now I created an account just to tell you that thay have concerts scheduled in april in Japan, so I think there's pretty much probability they will go to Australia! Also, Jordan answered a previous thread about his same topic and said the he was reading all the messages... kind of a clue, isn't it? I'm so freaking excited! I'm actually from Chile, but I'm travelling to Brisbane next month for university scholarship, and I want to see them live so much! I've been the biggest fan for over 8 years, and never seen them live :( I really hope the go!!! :D
Hmmm... OK.
Can't be serious about what?
The equation thing? No, I'm obviously not serious about that.
The telepathic connections thing? Again, not serious on that front.
In a nutshell and to cut to the serious part, I was merely enquiring if anybody has any info or ideas on if/when/where an Oz tour might eventuate.

Renting a House
Whether you want a place to stay for a short term or are not yet ready to buy a house, renting is a great option. However, without the right guidance and adequate information, finding rental property could be an ordeal. One time-consuming method is to call up any friends and acquaintances that you have in a desired location to ask them about the houses in the area. Or you might even want to go visit the houses in person to gather more information yourself. However, you might end up spending a lot of time, effort, and money in the process and still be dissatisfied with what you find. Using an online rental search service like Rent.com makes your search easier by bringing available homes to you.
How to Find Available Houses
Haven't found the home of your choice yet? Have you considered altering your search parameters or requirements? Before you begin to search for rental houses or apartments, it's essential that you know what you want.
A good way to get organized is to write down your expectations and these will become guidelines in finding the right home to rent for you. Pay attention to basic questions such as how many bathrooms or bedrooms you want, what kind of location you'd prefer to live in, the distance to your work place or your children's school, whether or not you need a parking space, and of course the appropriate budget range.
While putting your requirements in order, you might also want to consider extra features such as security, maintenance, cleaning service options, and other amenities that you would want included with a house or apartment to rent. When you have your priorities in line, it becomes much a much easier task to find quality homes for rent.
What to Look for in a Rental Lease
Before you ever sign a rent lease with a new landlord, you should definitely examine your lease in great detail. Consider things like the notice period before moving, the deposit, what cleaning must be done to get your deposit back, and any other provisions of interest. You should also find out if the lease is available on a month-to-month basis, or if it is fixed for six or twelve months. Inquire about the kind of cosmetic changes you can make, such as painting walls, hanging pictures, or structural or design changes like adding shelves or altering the garden. Ask if the home is insured against fire or other damage and also find out who pays the utility bills such as electricity, heating, and water. Typically, when you rent a house, it automatically guarantees free maintenance service for the duration of the lease. In most areas, the landlord must guarantee a livable environment for the renters, which includes doing necessary repairs and preventive maintenance.
When to Start Searching
Usually the best time to begin the search for homes and apartments for rent is at least 6 weeks prior to your big move. This time period will give you enough time to find the right homes for rent before giving notice to your current landlord. It also allows enough time for rental properties that require Home Owners Association (HOA) approval.

No.Will Unreal Engine 4 Games Come To Linux?
/Sorry, couldn't resist.
The problem is not a Linux port, but an Api-Less technology ware developers cannot cut OpenGL suport. When you program a game with Unigine, you can compile it for all CPUs Cisc and Risc. It will run equally on GCC or on Windows alternative, but also will run on native Wine because Unigine does not use things that are not present in alternative C,C++ libraries. Regardless if you run Linux or Windows, you will have native both OpenGL and D3D choices,no back-ends, no D3D to OpenGL translations with slow graphics.
No.Will Unreal Engine 4 Games Come To Linux?
/Sorry, couldn't resist.
DEV: Intel S2600C0, 2xE52658V2, 32GB, 4x2TB + 2x3TB, GTX780, F21/x86_64, Dell U2711.
SRV: Intel S5520SC, 2xX5680, 36GB, 4x2TB, GTX550, F21/x86_64, Dell U2412..
BACK: Tyan Tempest i5400XT, 2xE5335, 8GB, 3x1.5TB, 9800GTX, F21/x86-64.
LAP: ASUS N56VJ, i7-3630QM, 16GB, 1TB, 635M, F21/x86_64.
A company that released an engine that was so modular and so well-designed that its graphics renderer and audio renderer were completely interchangeable with third-party implementations (going so far as to have a third party add support for DirectX 11 in Deus Ex, an Unreal Engine 1 game) can't release UE4 with an OpenGL (probably 3.x or 4.x) renderer?! Come on.
Epic is even more advanced and experienced now than they were back in the late 90s. What's keeping them from continuing to create cross-platform code, a technique they learned how to do more than 14 years ago?
Assuming they have the code there, and their OpenGL renderer works (which seems to be the case according to the article), then all they have to do is sell the engine license to someone who's going to create a game, and then we (as a community) are responsible for convincing the licensee to distribute a Linux build. It's really that simple.
Don't be cynical about it guys. It just takes the right licensee with the right perspective to get a "yes". Imagine a canyon with two cliffs a great distance away, and the two cliffs have been gradually inching closer to one another as the years have gone by. Whereas before bringing your game to Linux was equivalent to jumping 20 meters (bring your pole vault or catapult or cannon), now it's about 3 meters. Hopefully the cliffs will literally meet in a few years' time, but right now it isn't a huge leap for a developer to decide to support Linux. This really seems to be the year of Linux gaming, although I think it's too early to call it the year of the Linux desktop. That, however, is not going to be far behind the deluge of games.
There was UT obviously, as well as Postal 2 and it's expansion (only $10.26 on Desura!) and older versions of America's Army. There was also a Devastation port that entered beta but then died with it's developer.
And I think everyone is being a little unfair to Micheal on this one - I actually found this to be a rather balanced article which clearly showed an understanding of the history of the issue. I wish more of the articles were like this.
I God damn hope so! I'm even willing to send $100 to any Kickstarter project (with Epic's blessing) that can port this particular engine to Linux. UE4 will be used for a lot of upcoming games (HUGE title), so getting the engine ported is I think ~ 50% of the work done.Will Unreal Engine 4 Games Come To Linux?
Looks like Stainless Games is using their own engine for Carmageddon: Reincarnation.
