"What's the fuss??"
Not sure I understand all the hype surrounding this book. Other than presenting an overview of Google's organizational talents, it really is kind of a limp tale. I suppose it will appeal to young technocrates and those who like bibliocentric mysteries. Think of it as The Club Dumas Very Light. Perhaps it belongs on the Young Adult shelf. Despite the text, Ari Fliakos does a good solid reading.
"A lsurprising, literate take on an undead genre."
First, a disclaimer: I adore Ms. Williams' voice, just as I did her mother's. That said, I have always had trouble distinguishing the influences of the text and those of the narrator in great audiobooks, and that is the case here. Ms. Williams reading is so precise, her diction so engaging, and her timing so exact that she carried me along with her as if riding some stream, through lazy drifts and breakneck cataracts. But it is the writer, not the reader who crafts the text though which that stream runs, and Carey, or whatever his real name is, can flat out write. In a real sense, he too, like his Melanie, has all the gifts, and I delighted he shares them with us in this tale. I look forward to his next book and Ms. Williams' next adult effort.
"Plotz! plotz! Kvetsh! Try giving it a chance, nu?"
I admit that I had much the same negative reaction when I started Bleeding Edge. But over time, Ms. Berlin's reading has come to charm me. Not only does she embody the sound and style of New York Jewish protagonist to a T, but in a way her bumpy reading reflects the uncertainty and disorder of her character as she stumbles from one clue to another on the journey Pynchon has laid before her. I now find Ms. Berlin's reading to be refreshing. I can see why Pynchon blessed the reading, and I find myself agreeing with him.
"Off pace disappointment"
This review is written at the beginning of the second section of the narration. Someone needs to do a better job categorizing and describing audible's selections. This was supposed to fantasy and turns out to be mostly romance. This book starts strong, with an interesting premise, a clever cosmology of characters, and an effective dramatic problem. Little by little the work degenerates into insubstantial chick lit romance, leaving behind everything having to do with the work's point. By the time the story reaches France, just into the second section of the narration, we are deep into what kind of soap the heroine showers in, how much she knows about riding, how clever and willful and independent she thinks herself to be, how she tingles (for at least the tenth time) at her Vampire boyfriend's touch, & etc. In short, drivel that has nothing to do with the premise or plot. It completely interferes with the flow and tension of the narrative. If I were not interested in the original premise, I'd abandon this book; if the drivel keeps up, I still might.
"Introibo Ad Altare"
One of the landmark jewels of science fiction, Walter Miller's Canticle will be, for some readers of a certain age, a treat for the ear, the heart, and the soul. However, so much has changed since the author crafted this work, e.g., the thaw of the Cold War, the disappearance of Latin since the Second Vatican Council in 1965, and the steep decine of the Catholic Church with its rigors and obedience, that many of the central premises and conceits of the book simply no longer commonly exist today. For me, the book was as fresh as when I read it in 1967 as a high school student. I hope that a younger audience enjoys it as much as I have.
Warning: There is a LOT of Latin in this work. This could make it difficult to parse as an audio experience unless you have a pretty good grounding in this tongue. You might want to get the kindle text to read with it. I think you will find it to be worth your while.
"Perfect Rendition"
While I have always been disappointed that Tolkien chose to write this tale as a children's story, I bow to its elegant simplicity of plot and complex development of background and character. We see the seed of the greatest adventure trilogy in English planted and flourish. What is really impressive, however, is Rob Englis' narration which catches every nuance of mood and shade of personality. A phenomenal execution!
Compared to The Passage, a fresh and refreshing take on the vampire/living dead/viral/wolf thing that US readers have taken to devouring with their Big Mac and shakes, The Twelve is simply tedium.
Mr Cronin would have done well to retain a good editor and to have condensed his "trilogy" to one volume.
Mr Brick, a narrator of skill and accomplishment, must have thought that by sounding mystical and awed he might improve the job. He just sounds overwrought and ponderous. But at least he tried.
"A qualified critique"
If one has never read Lear, or any other Shakespeare, maybe this voice-over Lear would be informative. If, on the other hand, you have a passing knowledge of the play, any of Shakespeare's other works, the history and manners of Elizabethan England, or even the English language, this reviewer suggests giving this recording a pass. This series must have been conceived for high school students and this text is marred by dumbed down writing and teacherly, slightly condescending narration. I didn't think it was possible to make Lear unlistenable, but Mister Reeves and Ms. Walker have succeeded.
My five star rating is for the play, which I consider Shakespeare's finest. The two stars are for the concept and execution of the voice-over narration.
"Brilliant, my dear!!"
What a marvelous concept: pairing an aging Holmes with his dopelganger in the form of a clever and gifted young woman who, with charm and grace, narrates their discovery of each other as well as the growth of her formidable sleuthing skills. Ms. King captures Conan Doyle's tone and language, while taking the genre to an entirely new level.
Perfectly narrated by Jenny Sterlin. Unreservedly recommended.
"Gripping and informative"
The author provides a concise history of America's four fighting admirals in context with the development of sea power from the turm of the century through World War II. While not a detailed biography, it is an excellent survey of the men and the circumstances of their rule.

These modifications, enhancements, and innovations will work together to make the future Perl even more insanely great...." — Damian Conway (2003). * "Perl 6 and Parrot have some extremely ambitious goals, and it's my belief that the value and impact of our hard work and patience is going to play out for a very long time — that is, over at least many decades." — Patrick Michaud (2006). ^^^ First Look Shortcuts *If you ...* * are curious, read "What is Perl 6?"<http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2006/01/12/what_is_perl_6.html>, [Learn About Perl 6], and [The Long Perl 6 Super-Feature List]. * want to learn about Perl 6 in general, explore the [Documentation]. * want to help Perl 6 be released faster, read about [Getting Involved], [Perl 6 Donations and Fundraising], and "Perl 6 Sponsors and Supporters (Thanks!!)"{link: [Perl 6 People] Perl 6 Sponsors and Supporters (Thanks!!)}. * want to talk to developers about Perl 6, read [Mail Lists, IRC, Archives] about IRC channel #perl6. * want to read the latest Perl 6 news, see the {link: Perl 6 News} section below, or see the combined [Perl 6 RSS News Feeds]. * are interested in Perl 6 books, products, services, jobs, etc., see [Perl 6 Books and Media] and the [Perl 6 Marketplace]. ^^ Main Sections Some links on this page occur in more than one location to make finding relevant things easier and more likely, although this requires some extra effort when updating this page.

A slang term for people from england. During the early to mid 20th century the english were famous for only washing once a year. The english considered bathing to be bad for the health. Hence the expression that they were adept at dodging the soap.

one who is adept at avoiding bars of soap when thrown at them
Tim is an excellent soap dodger and stayed in the game while his teammates were pummeled with bars of soap. He must have learned his techniques from being a three-time MVP of the more traditional sport dodgeball.

Monster 31-16 Run in All Sports leads to a strong Monday MLB, NHL, and NBA card you do not want to miss!
Monday Free Play from Doc's Sports Take #959 Philadelphia Phillies over St. Louis Cardinals (Monday, 8:15pm EST) The St. Louis Cardinals were dealt a huge blow on Saturday when Adam Wainwright was lost for the season to an Achilles injury. It took the wind out of a Cards team that was playing great baseball leading up to the injury, and it may take some time for them to get back on track. They host a bad Phillies team on Monday night, but it's not nearly as bad when Cole Hamels is on the mound. The talented left-hander could be dealt away at any time, but while he's in Philadelphia he's going to give his team a great chance to win every fifth day. The Cardinals also endured another injury over the weekend as Jason Heyward went down with a groin injury. That makes things easier on Hamels and also hurts the St. Louis defense quite a bit. The line on this game is about 10 cents too high, so we'll take the Phillies.

Shawn and Marlon Wayans (Special Event)
Performing Artists (Click on Artist for Reviews and Previews
The Wayans family is filled with talented members, so there is no surprise that the two youngest brothers, Shawn and Marlon Wayans, have followed in their family's footsteps as Hollywood icons. These two comedic prodigies have accomplished a lot in their relatively short careers so far.
Both Shawn and Marlon Wayans made their acting debut in 1989 in their brother Keenen Ivory Wayans' feature film "I'm Gonna Get You Sucka." Immediately following their feature film debut, they joined the cast of the Emmy Award winning comedy series, "In
Living Color."
"The Wayans Bros." sitcom, which Shawn and Marlon created and starred in, was the first WB show to be sold into syndication after heading up the WB network lineup for five years.
Shawn and Marlon's past film credits include the hit comedy "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in The Hood," which they co-wrote, produced and starred in together. The movie was a comic spoof of the coming-of-age-in- the-hood movies and is a huge cult favorite.
More recently Shawn and Marlon starred in the box office hit, "Little Man" and "White Chicks," both of which they also co-wrote and produced. The brothers began co-writing this string of blockbusters with the smash "Scary Movie" where they also starred along side each other, and was directed by their brother Keenen Ivory Wayans. Co-written, produced and starring Shawn and Marlon Wayans, "Scary Movie 2" was the only sequel
in the "Scary Movie" franchise with direct Wayans involvement. Shawn and Marlon were next seen on the big screen in "Dance Flick," the new comedy co-written with brother Keenen Ivory, which premiered in May, 2009.
Shawn and Marlon, along with their brothers and sisters, created "Thugaboo" and the subsequent "Boo Crew" animated specials for Nickelodeon, which began premiering in August, 2006. In addition to creating, the Wayans are also writing, directing and voicing the series which takes a humorous look at the trials and tribulations of nine inner city kids. TheBooCrew.com released in fall, 2009 and plans are underway to turn The Boo Crew into a daily comic strip. Marlon also starred in the 2009 blockbuster "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" where he played Ripcord, the G.I. Joe team HALO's jumper. When not producing and starring in hit movies or on the road performing standup, Shawn and Marlon can be found hard at work in the "lab" where the Wayans siblings are busy concocting their next project.

I look forward to the day when this gets extended to the Radeon HD 34xx as well (RV620).
I bet the quality issues with TexturedVideo will be resolved in the near future with all the stuff going into the open source drivers...
I look forward to the day when this gets extended to the Radeon HD 34xx as well (RV620).
Xv working beautifully here with git drm and -ati driver on mobility x1600. I get about %40 cpu at 1.6ghz on athlon64 while watching 720p hd channel, and ~15% at 800mhz on regular channels on mythtv fulscreen at 1680x1050. No diagonal tearing or machine lock ups while changing channels like fglrx

It's been quite some time; but I think I even got that with -vo x11.
As far as my previous comments on hardware accelerated video decoding, I think that'd be icing on the cake as fglrx doesn't even support it and I doubt it ever will. It effects me more on my R300/Athlon XP machine that I plan on converting to a DVR box than on my Core Duo/R500 laptop.
As far as video playback goes, does anyone know the advantages of using the "gl2" output driver over xv? (If any, obviously a moot point currently on >=R500 chips now as gl won't work without mesa3d support)
It's mythtv frontend. Same success with vlc, totem and mplayer.
I haven't noticed really. But you don't get that horrible diagonal tearing in fglrx. Another thing I noticed is that the video is redirected. I had enabled the metacity compositing and I had a transparent terminal on top of the video and it was working properly.
X1600Xt - XV works. Totem, mplayer, vlc - all work. No tearing, performance is good.
But TVTime freezes the system. Also Zapping sometimes freezes the system when the channel switching. Also XawTV freezes with -nodga option. It works with -nodga -noxv - but there is no fullscreen video.

It says #1 Daddy. I was really, really mad at my mom.
In the traditional still life genre, each element of the composition has its own symbolism. Fruits and vegetables or flowers and plants that do not grow in the same season are painted on the same canvas as a meditation on the passage of time. Bones, often skulls, are included as reminders of our mortality. Trinkets, jewels and books represent a family's values, wealth, power and educational status. Wilting flowers, rotting fruit, spilled wine all too indicate the passage of time, the impermanence of all things on this earth. Still lifes represent a patron's status in society and serve as a reflection that all material goods are but temporary acquisitions.
Spills to wipe up, the impermanent value of our material goods and reflections on mortality: if I presented the argument that I'm describing a meditation on parenthood, would you be able to argue against me?
The skull in this photo is from what E calls her pirate shirt, and is modeled by my Hudson bear. G's pacifier hangs on the top of the bananas and L's stethoscope wraps among the apples and avocados and the spilled milk was knocked over by Buzzy Bee, a beloved toy from my own childhood. Because, I figure, if anybody has a right to make a mess on this table, it's me -- I've already been doing so for at least 25 years.
Both girls contributed the jewels and the robot that hangs off of the green bucket is G's, as is the dinosaur sampling the watermelon. The green bucket and leaves are from L's room, and the purple pashmina that provides the foundation for the still life is E's. The board books are communally owned. The milk is organic, and the lovely husband thinks I'm crazy when I do things like spill expensive milk on furniture on purpose, but his support of even the crazier things I do is exactly why he's so lovely.
All of this is to say, if you're reading in a feed reader would you kindly click through just today? The kids helped me compose a still life, and now I have a new masthead. I'm a little in love with it, if I do say so myself. I hope you like it, too.

They have a GF menu however staff is NOT trained!!!! The wrong food was brought out to me. I asked the server if it was GF and he said yes. I looked at the GF menu and it was not on there. I watched corn tortillas being made on a contaminated surface, the lady did not wear clean gloves and the surface was wiped down with a dirty towel!!!!! I'm so sick!!!!! This restaurant should not be on this website!!!!!
Asked if chips are GF. Waitress said no. Immediately a GF menu was provided along with GF chips, which were just corn taco shells. Food was fine but not great.
Great if they follow their menu but I have had serious cross contamination issues twice (the rest of my family loves this place). Had one server who claimed his girlfriend was GF and he totally understood. Then he served me flour tortillas. I caught the error, he apologized and then asked the tortilla maker right there on the floor to make corn tortillas for me. The guy DID NOT change his gloves or clean the grill and he had just finished making the flour ones (I watched all of this). So I didn't eat the corn tortillas either. If they do this right in front of the patrons I can only imagine what goes on in the kitchen.
3824 E 82nd St, Indianapolis, IN 46240
ask for special gluten free chips for your salsa. yum!
1361 Nixon Drive, Moorestown, NJ 08057
Don Pablo's does a nice job. They have a gluten free menu and the manager often comes over to discuss allergen needs. They say their tortilla chips are gluten free, but they do cook them in a shared fryer, so beware of that. We always have to explain that to them, and then they make us baked corn chips in the over, which are a nice substitute
5805 Beckley Rd, Battle Creek, MI 49015
I like the queso blanco dip. But have found I have a problem with cross contimination there.
1 Restaurant Park Dr, Owings Mills, MD 21117
Waitress didn't know there was a gluten free menu. Ordered a meal from it specifically and it still came out with flour tortilla. Had to say several times that it wasn't just that side of the plate that needed to be replaced. The waitress was very kind about it but there was no knowledge about it - don't eat here if you're celiac!
8717 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819
We went there because I was told it was a decent place to eat. The service was horrible the food was sub part and there was no specific Gluten free menu that I could see. If I could give 0 stars I would.
6476 Strip Ave NW, North Canton, OH 44720
Listen, everyone, if you cannot have any cross contamination do not eat here. Everything, is cross contaminated. Badly! Also, the taco meat has fillers in it so that's gluten even though it's on the gf menu. Trust me, I would know.
8161 Honeygo Blvd, White Marsh, MD 21236
These guys have corn tortillas and fresh ingredients. Very tasty.
14758 N Meridian St, Carmel, IN 46032
They contaminated my food twice at one meal! They have a great gluten free menu so I had high expectations. I was very disappointed. The waitress gave us the wrong chips initially. She realized this after we had ate them for 10 minutes. Then my meal had a "gluten containing" chip laying decoratively on my food. The waitress said they put that on my plate to flag them that my food was special. Really!?!? Of all the things you could put on my plate to flag it as gluten free, you choose the only thing i tell you I'm allergic to. *** Update 2014: I just went back to give Don Pablo's another try after a year, and they are no better. They still flagged my meal sticking one of there "gluten chips" on my food. (Even after we explained it to them last year.)
401 Riverboat Row, Newport, KY 41071
It's not online, but they do offer a gluten free menu with plenty of choices. Hard or soft corn tortillas are available. Our server was very good about checking about potential cross contamination and genuinely interested in assuring safety (very appreciated as we are celiac). Their chips are made in a fryer shared with gluten items, but our waiter made us chips from hard shells heated in the oven. We asked for our soft corn tortillas to be heated with foil over the metal plates. They were out of foil so they microwaved them. That wasn't great so they gave us heated hard shells instead.
3525 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305
The first time I went here I was okay, got fajitas with corn tortillas but I was also newly diagnosed (from fairly asymptomatic celiac) so that could have been why I didn't feel any negative effects. The corn tortillas were eh but the fajita meat was good. I got the fajita salad the past two times due to the eh tortillas for the fajitas and have gotten sick both times. Also, their on site gluten free menu is identical to their online one which hasn't been updated in over 2 years.
2745 Fairfield Commons Blvd, Beavercreek, OH 45431
Manager brought me a menu!! Good was above average and they had lots of choices. This is the only Mexican place that I can get enchiladas!!
741 Haywood Rd, Greenville, SC 29607
Good is very good and fresh. Lots of options. Service is lacking a little.
3525 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305
Second opinion here -- went for dinner 1/25/2014 and didn't have a good experience. The server looked at me like I had three heads when I asked if they had a gluten-free menu, said "no of course not, this is our menu, hahaha." Most of the items on the "regular" menu use flour tortillas. The salad was bland, fajita meat tepid and tasteless. I didn't have a reaction to the food but it just wasn't very good.
8161 Honeygo Blvd, White Marsh, MD 21236
Very nice gluten free selection. I particularly like the fajitas with corn tortilla's. They also provide you with a tortilla chip alternative (basically baked taco shells), in place of their fried tortilla chips, which definitely aren't gluten free.
2916 Knoxville Center Dr, Knoxville, TN 37924
Thought this was gonna be awesome. 'Twas not. They have a GF menu, but I don't think they actually prepared our food GF. Got sick.
2831 E 80th Ave, Merrillville, IN 46410
i have been here before a long time ago and it was good. here is the updated gluten free menu: http://donpablos.com/downloads/glutenfreemenu.pdf
7887 Elm Creek Blvd, Maple Grove, MN 55311
The waitress was extremely nice!! I simply asked for corn instead of flower tacos, and she asked right away if it was due to Gluten! Very knowledgable about gluten free!!!
140 Andrew Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15275
Nice option of gluten-free foods. had a specific gluten-free menu to choose from;We had a really good waiter - Andrew. Only recommendation is to do a better job cleaning their entry doors and bathrooms.
122 Mall Blvd, Monroeville, PA 15146
Have a separate menu & how to order. Both times manager came over and took care of us... Delicious
7887 Elm Creek Blvd, Maple Grove, MN 55311
server seemed to know the gluten free menu well and they had a nice selection of gf foods.
6476 Strip Ave NW, North Canton, OH 44720
The staff member was very nice and told me that nothing there is truly gf. They put everything in the fryer including their corn tortilla chips with the flour tortilla and breaded items. I am grateful she told me before I ordered. NOT GLUTEN FREE
6191 Columbia Crossing Dr, Columbia, MD 21045
They printed me my very own GF menu and were over accommodating to my sensitivities. Loved my GF experience here
140 Andrew Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15275
They have a gluten free menu with lots of options. Ordering made easy by not having to specify changes to menu items (ex-change from soft taco to crispy taco), the waiter/waitress only has to hit a certain button on their computer and all needed changes are made. Not 100% sure if the chips thy bring out are gluten free but saw a few online sites that said they were not gluten free.
3525 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305
excellent knowledge on gf and allergies. gf menu. large variety
6191 Columbia Crossing Dr, Columbia, MD 21045
Awful. I'd give no stars if could. Definitely should stay away. Waitress and manager both knew we couldn't have gluten. They screwed both mine and my daughter's orders-giving us both something with breading. Mine was supposed to be a grill chicken taco. Honestly I don't understand what breaded chicken is doing in a taco in the first place. The manager said she'd personally make sure the orders would come out right then . . . Brought us out breaded chicken again. We walked out. Hour and half of our lives wasted.
140 Andrew Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15275
Staff was friendly and accommodating. Restaurant was clean and inviting. Food was decent for PA (recently moved from CA & am trying not to compare too often, but...). All in all it as was a good experience.
2700 Lincoln Dr, Roseville, MN 55113
Food was just okay. Their chips are not gluten free but they will bring you hard taco shells to use as chips at no charge. I doubt we will be back.
14181 Hall Rd, Shelby Township, MI 48315
Great food and great service. They were very knowledgeable and had quite a few options on the menu.
3131 Cobb Pkwy SE #100, Atlanta, GA 30339
According to their gf menu, all food here shares equipment, prep surfaces, oil, etc. Not a review of the food, just thought I would save someone the trouble of finding out at the restaurant.
2745 Fairfield Commons Blvd, Beavercreek, OH 45431
Good selection. Staff is trained. Good kitchen practices.
6476 Strip Ave NW, North Canton, OH 44720
You can work your way around the menu. Staff were useless with questions.
2692 Madison Rd #1, Cincinnati, OH 45208
They are VERY careful when serving gluten free!!!!
8161 Honeygo Blvd, White Marsh, MD 21236
I was definitely glutened here my entree even had a nacho chip I was told had flour in it!
14758 N Meridian St, Carmel, IN 46032
The waitress was very knowledgable about allergies. The gluten free menu had a lot to choose from. I have dairy allergies as well and they accommodated that extremely well too. I loved my tacos, salsa and chips! Left full and extremely satisfied!
14758 N Meridian St, Carmel, IN 46032
I had the same experience as the person above me, they marked my gf meal with a gluten chip. unbelievable. I gave this location two shots and both times they have failed the test. unfortunately I no longer have a convenient and trustworthy Mexican food restaurant nearby.
2831 E 80th Ave, Merrillville, IN 46410
Another fav. Ask for the GF menu. It will take them a minute to find it, it's always in a different place but they are getting better. I usually get the fajitas or the tacos. Don't forget the Margaritas :)
11347 Viking Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Had lunch on a Tuesday which at our location is all you can eat tacos for 7.50! Did hard tacos with chicken, comes with beans and rice - which were all gluten free. Even the chips and salsa they brought out was GF. Good food and no celiac symptoms afterwards so I am sold on coming back.
46280 Potomac Run Plaza, Sterling, VA 20164
They are great but double check before you leave that it is prepared gluten free. :-)
2700 Lincoln Dr, Roseville, MN 55113
one of my favorite restaurants great food and atmosphere.
6040 Knights Inn Pl, Maumee, OH 43537
DON'T GO HERE! I ordered exactly as it says to to get it gluten-free. They didn't make it gluten-free and ended up serving me a gluten-filled mess. I took one bite and immediately knew they screwed up. The manager came over and did tell me that my meal had not been prepared gluten-free and was very apologetic. He said if I came back to request a manager to make my meal to ensure it's made properly. It was the worst experience and that one bite had my sick all night. NOT WORTH IT!
122 Mall Blvd, Monroeville, PA 15146
Food was amazing. Server said he would get me baked tortillas when he saw I had a gluten free menu. very knowledgeable staff. Very impressed.
2745 Fairfield Commons Blvd, Beavercreek, OH 45431
not impressed at all. I ordered off the gluten free menu and they brought me the wrong sauce on my enchiladas and had to send it back. too spicy, not very good. had a long wait to send my food back. they didn't seem to know how to make it Gluten free on their own, you have to read the GF menu instructions to the server

Is it really probable that Gordon gets moved at all? Posted by droman225 on 5/10 at 9:35 am I have two points to look at.. 1.) If he stays injured nobody will trade us anything for him. 2.) If he heals up and becomes good enough and healthy enough to where other teams would move pieces for him, would we want to get rid if him, if he is producing well for our team? OR, given his injury history, would we sell high? Tough situation, but I don't see us moving Gordon if he's healthy, we are winning, and he isn't being a little whiny bitch Reply Back to Top |
Posted by ShamelessPel on 5/10 at 9:39 am to droman225 quote: Get ready...This did not end well the last time I suggested it. Reply Back to Top |
I see your point, but: We either try and sell now, and take whatever we can get. At this point it won't be much, but someone might be willing to give us garbage in the hopes that he pans out. or We wait, and if he can play 30-40 games, we move him just to get rid of him to a desperate bubble playoff team and again take what we can get, just because we want nothing to do with him. I think those are alternative likely scenarios. Its possible that we are anchored with the contract forever, he uses his player option and everything...but there are often some pretty foolish teams willing to take a contract, especially if he can stay healthy for the early part of next season.

Posted by brmark70816 on 5/12 at 9:38 am to droman225 Gordon has to go. It really is as simple as that. Trading for him was probably the worst trade in franchise history (dumping Paul was dumb and the team got trade raped). Re-signing him was even worse and will probably end up costing Demps his job (Benson can't be happy). The team needs to move on and close this chapter. quote: quote: I keep seeing this in threads and it doesn't make any sense. So he's either really good (like top 10 good) and will bring us to the promise land OR he's injured and we can't find anyone to trade us anything. There is no way the gap can be that far apart on a player. It's just not logical. Injured players are traded all the time. When we traded for Gordon he was hurt at that time. Did that stop us? quote: They should take whatever they can get right now. Late 1st, a couple of scrubs with potential or even an older vet with an expiring contract. Just get rid of the bad contract, plug the hole and center the rebuild around Davis like it should have always been about. Reply Back to Top |

Its not like we had a choice. The LAC trade was, BY FAR, the best one at the time. It was infinitely better for a rebuilding team than the LAL/HOU. Its not really up for debate. GMs don't have crystal balls. Just because it didn't "work out" in the short term doesn't mean it wasn't the right move at the time. The Grizzlies got "trade raped" and everyone called it one of the WORST TRADES OF ALL TIME. Look at them now. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by quail man on 5/13 at 10:03 am to brmark70816 quote: it makes complete sense. what people are saying is that if Gordon is good enough to warrant a trade that is actually worth making (i.e., a team is willing to trade decent pieces for him), then do you actually make the trade at that time? quote: yeah trading paul for something was worse than letting him walk for nothing Reply Back to Top |
Posted by Gtothemoney on 5/13 at 10:04 am to slutiger5 I just can't she Gordon getting traded. Monty and Dell have hitched their wagon to him (max contract). If they throw in the towel already, isn't that admission that that they were wrong? Personally, I think it's a no win situation.

Posted by BarbaricPelican on 5/13 at 10:08 am to Fun Bunch Personally think Gordon can't be traded this summer with the ankle surgery, though minor. I say trade deadline if the team isn't performing well or next summer. But if they can get an asset or two this summer, I definitely wouldn't be opposed to it. Just highly doubt they will get any offers worth talking about unless a team that misses out on FA stars are desperate hoping Gordon hits potential and stays healthy. Only takes one dumb/crazy GM.

quote: The only argument against the trade would be (if you assume Bledsoe v. Gordon was the final piece) would be that we should have taken Bledsoe instead, but I still think Gordon's potential is much higher than Bledsoe. Reply Back to Top |

In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date.
In the heart of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology, Robert Langdon, is drawn into a harrowing world centered on one of history's most enduring and mysterious literary masterpieces: Dante's Inferno.
Against this backdrop, Langdon battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic science. Drawing from Dante's dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and decide whom to trust...before the world is irrevocably altered.
Please note: This audiobook will be released on Tuesday, May 14, at 3:00 am Eastern Daylight Time.
©2013 Dan Brown (P)2013 Random House Audio
Reader. Wannabe writer. That's a picture of me standing in line to see Stephen King!
"I Guess Dan Brown Never Read "Children of Men"..."
…or "Jurassic Park," or "Brave New World"…
I'm sure there are plenty of readers who give this book 5 stars because the ideas in the story energized them, and plenty who give it 1 star because they were horrified. I'm giving it 3 stars because I was neither energized nor horrified. The writing was just "meh," also known as classic Dan Brown – his characters spend a lot of time "recalling when…" or "remembering the first time…" You can almost hear the dream sequence music cue in, and then we're in for a long, explanatory bit of prose that acts like speed bumps to the plot. He awkwardly hides exposition within dialog and too often follows with a sometimes interesting history lesson on art, on Florence, on Dante Alighieri… but this is supposed to be a race to stop a madman from releasing a deadly plague! Right? I don't want to give anything away, but let's just say our characters have the time for a lesson or two. His show vs. tell skills could do with more exercise. That is, we know his Hero finds the female protagonist attractive because he says she's "quite attractive." We know she's supposed to be very smart because our Hero finds information saying she's very smart, though, throughout the story, Brown doesn't have her behave like a very smart person -- she's clever but not always intelligent. All in all, this is a tepid tale with some awkward contrivances, a strange twist and a flaccid ending, but if you're interested in the transhumanist movement, Italian Renaissance and art, or Dante Alighieri and his Divine Comedy, then there is plenty in Inferno for you to enjoy.
Without giving too much away, here's one point Brown doesn't make in his arguments: Brown's "mad doctor" character argues that after the black plague Europe enjoyed a renaissance reflected in the art, music and literature of the time, and makes the leap that the one-to-one correlation is related to the decrease in the population. Professor Langdon, our Hero, as an Art History professor, should have made the counter argument that the Renaissance didn't simply come about because of a decrease in the population, but as a direct result of and an antidote to the suffering during the plague times. In other words, humanity doesn't need to be mollycoddled by some guy who thinks he knows better than everyone else. Population wise, we've made our bed, so to speak, and there may be great suffering in the future, but think of the art and leaps of science we'll make on the other side of it. Humans are at their best when given a challenge. Brown's "mad doctor" wants to take that away without even considering that his Brave New World could usher in a malaise of thought and imagination, and accomplish the opposite of his goal by halting our evolution.
"Well, I don't know what I was expecting"
My feelings about Dan Brown could be optimistically described as "mixed".
I'll admit, with a slightly chagrinned tone, that I've read all of the Robert Langdon books -- and every single time I've finished them, I am annoyed that I just wasted X number of hours putting it into my brain.
They are (and here I'm being restrained in my word choice) formulaic.
There's the beautiful sidekick, the harrowing adventure through cities of historical value, the major work of art, the good Professor's pivotal role in a case of international and apocalyptical significance (okay, really, how many times does a semiologist find himself looking down the barrel of gun during his line of work? I'd buy once, *maybe* twice. But four times? No way.) we are all taught a lesson and the world is better off for having Robert Langdon to watch over it.
So, if it's not for the vaguely pedantic tone, prosaic repetitive writing or even the irritating sensation that Robert Langdon is a thinly veiled author surrogate, why read these books? What's the appeal?
My guess is the escapism. Suspend disbelief (Langdon is dashing about Florence sporting a serious head wound and conveniently amnestic) and chow down on the brain candy. The city is well researched and there's enough of a mystery that the reader is left wondering how it's going to be tied together, even if it's lite in terms of prose.
As a positive note, I will add that Langdon's character seems to be evolving. He is more somber this time around and prone to moments of existentialism. I'll also have to give kudos to Mr. Brown for choosing to address the issue of overpopulation. It is a difficult question that often meanders into a moral grey zone -- and the ending of Inferno is darkly surprising.
Overall, it's more than I expected, but not that much more.
"Formulaic and Hard to Finish...."
I have just finished Dan Brown's newest book, Inferno, and can't tell you it was worth the time I spent slogging through it. The best I can say is that Paul Michael does a good job narrating this sad, formulaic, trip down the same road traveled in Brown's prior books. This time Robert Langdon wakes up in hospital with amnesia, meets a beautiful woman-with-whom-he-does-not-get-involved, immediately witnesses a murder, and goes on the run with her to escape from people trying to kill him while he pursues the symbolism in Dante's Inferno to save the world from a deadly virus created by a madman. The reader is treated to the same "lectures about things the world has not understood" -- this time about Dante, Florence, vector viruses, and overpopulation of the world. Brown's writing style is sloppy, and (remarkably) Robert Langdon remains under-developed and again appears as a "I have no life or personality" character who is marginally affected by the remarkable situations and events in the plot. I recommend you skip this one...
"Paved with good intentions....hold the anchovies"
Unless - like our cerebral hero Langdon at the opening of Inferno - we find ourselves suffering from retrograde amnesia, it's impossible to not be reminded of the previous Langdon installments when reading this latest clue-seeking romp through the art treasures of Florence and Venice; or for that matter, comparing the previous 3 novels with Brown's latest. Dan Brown has his formula, as do most authors, and there is no sign here that he is trying to fix what was almost broke with his last Langdon adventure (The Lost Symbol). Both Brown and Langdon are in fine form here: Brown sends us on an almost scenic, fact-based excursion through the cathedrals, museums, and art hot spots, and Langdon dodges bullets, the Italian Polizia, untangling a sinister plot (with the prerequisite political statements ala Brown). Brown is nothing if not consistent; so you get what you know you are getting; better than Lost Symbol, not as good as Da Vinci Code; a solid middle grounder. If the formula has lost its luster to you, enjoy the new scenery and history, like I did (easily worth a star).
More so than Brown's previous novels, I thought this was a bit padded (maybe that is because it seemed written for the silver screen, even to the point of describing the minutiae of the on-lookers, the horse-toothed girl getting her picture drawn near the Academe, etc.). As a do-over, and if it was offered, I would do the *gasp* abridged version. I also noticed Langdon has become a little snarky, taking pot shots at the turistas, poking fun at those guide-book toting Americanos, while he should have been paying attention to where he next placed his Italian loafered-foot on the cat-walk (oopsie! look out below).
You want another Dan Brown/Langdon--you got it. A good pizza-read, and who doesn't love pizza? Paul Michael does a great job as narrator and tour-guide.
Tell us about yourself!
This book is 90% history lesson, 5% running in circles and 5% story. One review had said it perfectly - Dan went through a lot of trouble to describe everything to the last detail! I like the history, but not to much where it takes over the book. He wrote a book just to write a book
"An action story"
I would reccomend it to someone who is interested in bio threats, over population, and other scientific problems facing our world today. I would also recommend it for art/ travel buffs re; italy.
A race to save our species.
This was a fun book but how many times does someone get beat up and then jump up running, out running their chasers? And, I never did know how this man was picked or arrived in italy in the first place. I like a little more reality.it would make a good movie for the action and for the peeks into Italy/ the art.
""Infernal" would be a more apt title."
I would not read another book by this author based on the author's name alone. I like the symbology angle of some of Mr. Brown's books, but the last two books have not measured up to The Da Vinci Code and the political bent of Inferno has made me wary.
The "twist" in the middle of the Inferno unraveled all of the good will in certain of the main characters; it did not work for me. The ending was even more dissatisfying -- I resent having to accept the moral decision that the author wanted readers to swallow in the final stage of the book. The hero of the story - Langdon - should have had more moral fiber in the face of the decisions being made by others, especially after Mr. Brown spent the first half of the book building to a different moral conclusion. The readers are suddenly asked to accept the villain as hero and his evil as enlightened politics. I did not enjoy the ride.
The opening sequence was exciting, it went down hill from there.
I would cut Dr. Sinskey.
I am in my late twenties, a commuter, a romantic, & am loving life.
"Fiction Flirting with Fact!"
I enjoyed this book. There were times when I was 'on the edge of my seat', and other times when I went two or three days without listening. Dan Brown is a teacher, for sure. I always learn so much from his books... and this one, in particular, made me aware of a REAL issue that affects the human race. That being said, if you're not in the mood to be lectured 'college style', this book isn't for you. However, if you love learning new facts about artwork and architecture, you'll really enjoy this.
The plot was intriguing. At one point, near the middle of the book, it contained a surprising twist that prompted me to go back and re-read an earlier chapter.
I visited Italy ten years ago as a teenager. Much of this book was set in Florence, Italy. A spark of interest in that country has been reignited now that I've finished the book.
The narrator did a very nice job - adding a softening of voice for the female characters.
Overall, a very enjoyable read.
"Trip Advisor Meets James Bond"
I have a theory about Dan Brown: He lives in New Hampshire and as a former Granite State resident I can attest to the fact that winter is cold and usually lasts six months. If I had Da Vinci Code money, I too would spend at least six month of each year hanging out drinking espresso in the most beautiful and interesting places in the world…then to justify the expense I too might cobble together a pot boiler on the scale of Inferno and palm it off on my fans. Note, Mr. Browns books aren't typically set in Manchester or Cleveland…I think I see a pattern here.
Don't get me wrong, Inferno isn't horrible…I mean I finished it, and some of the characters are quite interesting….but it's a bit of a mess. I was interested to read that Mr. Brown was raised Episcopalian and has a love or organ music from an early age, so his intense affection for mediaeval architecture and symbolism is quite understandable…I share a similar affection, you just can't beat visiting cathedrals as a way to spend a few days in Florence or Venice. However page after page of what is essentially Trip Advisor meets James Bond can get just a tiny bit much.
My biggest problem with the book is the plot; why would a super villain (think evil Steve Jobs) go to the trouble of leaving an elaborate set of symbolic clues to allow possible thwarters of his evil plans to track down that evil pan and thwart it? It makes no sense at any level. Any plot, which starts off with amnesia, is suspect from day one in my book. The plot even throws in an old fashioned switcheroo in the middle so that all the good guys are now bad and vice versa…after I recovered from the whiplash I could hardly stop laughing.
Overall it's a lumbering bloated (albeit lavish and well read) story packed full of plot turns, which go from the breathless to the down right silly. If you are already a fan and happen to have a spare credit and 17 hours go ahead and dive in. It lacks the pacing of Da Vinci Code but is a better read than the fairly awful lost symbol. Ultimately the story deflates at the end…which is a shame. A confection as large and sugary as this shouldn't leave you regretting all those empty calories.
"Formula Exhausted. Next !!"
I would recommend this to a friend who is planning a trip to Venice,
Istanbul and Florence. They will not need a guidebook.
Stephen Cannnell
The end.
This book is a movie script, so I would not need to go to the movie.
Should also be on travel channel.
This movie script is akin to Mission Impossible meets Raiders of the Lost Ark.
The premise is ridiculous, the author took his FODOR's and spliced in totally
irrelevant travel and historical facts. It is a Mile Wide and an Inch deep.
If you like to travel, read this book. Otherwise, never mind!
The narration is spectacular !
"very disappointing, very repetitive."
Someone who will not listen to it continuously
Not sure yet
Just a really poor repetive story. Sections of the text were repeated word for word in consecutive chapters
"An immersive journey in the most beautiful places"
Yes. It reads (or "listens" in this case) very easily, and you feel like you are inside the book from page one. Even though a lot of things are shrouded in mystery right up untill the end
Robert Langdon, the main character, will be travelling to many different places. The awesome thing about this book is that these places actually exist, and Robert being a professor of History at Harvard will tell you so many interesting things about various buildings, paintings even cities. When you actually travel to these places, you can relisten the book even just for the great descriptions of art. This combined with a thrilling and twisting plot gives you an awesome listen.
"The darkness ahead for humanity"
A wonderful insight into Florence, after hearing this book I would love to visit Florence, it is almost like q tourist guide.
It is a bit like Bourne Identity where the main character has to back trace his steps to find out what has previously happened.
The moment where Prof. Langdon realizes who the thief is.
Yes, most definitely just didn't have the opportunity
loves this audio book, story is so engaging, couldn't stop listening....
really good to listen to, and he throws in the odd accent or ladies voice which is fun...
"Disappointingly unreal"
No, I was disappointed with the loss of reality, Dan Brown seems to have lost it
yes, I must admit to Googling Dante's inferno , however the storyline lost interest when characters who were believed dead, suddenly appeared and admitted to being actors engaged solely for a performance to convince the hero they had been shot ???
the facts , historical and religious as usual are well documented , however the story was too unbelievable
The Narration was quite good
I won't buy the next Dan Brown solely on His name , as I have in the past. This storyline was too far from reality
"Pure Dan Brown"
Intrigue, mystery, fascinating
Pure Dan Brown. Lve the story, the historical facts and how they can be intertwined so artistically.
I couldn't wait to get back ton it every time I put it down and felt very sorry when it was over.
If you like dan Brown, you'll love this new addition to his latest novels.
"I loved it and can't wait for the movie :)"
Langdon once again made it all so historically interesting! I love facts written into novels!
Very De Vinci Code
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Bryce Galloway
great taste
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
these are great bars to help you maintain your ride. the taste is great.
Grant Burton
pretty fly (for a power bar)
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Personally, I dread opening power bars. They are no substitute for a real meal, and often turn into "lunch" when my friends and I don't want to stop for longer than a few minutes. This being said, these are as good as power bars ever will be. There are many bars that will cause me to instantly vomit, but these are tasty and can hold me off until I can get my hands on some legit food.
Trevor J
Too Good
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Well, Honey Stinger gone off and done it again with an energy product that tastes so good you'll have a hard time saving these for exercise. It's like having a box of candy bars at the ready, so good luck not snacking on them all the time.
When I actually manage to save a few to take on rides with me, they taste great all the same, digest quickly (as long as you stay hydrated) and provide long term sustainable energy on the go. Highly recommend Peanut Butter N' Honey, classic taste!

Honey Stinger Energy Bars
Robert L
Bomb Blueberry Bar
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have been sporting these bars instead of Clif bars for a few weeks and find that they are easier to chew up and swallow with a few swigs of water and digest easier than a Clif bar, more focused on providing energy instantly via honey that is used in the bar itself. Very tasty
taste great
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I like these as an all natural energy pick up. They taste great and provide quick,ample energy. I would eat them with plenty of water though as they do tend to be a little dry.
not appetizing
make sure you have plenty of water on hand, these are dry and not that tasty.
hard to swallow
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This review will only be for the apple cinnamon flavor, as I trust other reviewers in saying that the other flavors are pretty good. Honey Stinger usually makes pretty good products, I've been impressed with the waffles, protein bars, and chews, but these are another story. I was excited, as apple cinnamon really sounds great, but these aren't good. They're dry, overly dense, don't taste that great, hard to chew and swallow, and they're EXPENSIVE. I can almost get ProBars (taste amazing, tons of nutrition) for as much as these cost, not to mention I could almost get 2X the ClifBars for this price, and they taste better. Not impressed with these, but they do provide energy, albeit not very much. One of my problems with Honey Stinger is that all of their products that are touted as 'energy' products, contain fewer than 200 calories. The calorie is a unit of energy. So put more calories in it. These are meant to sustain you and provide the energy you need to keep at it, not a small snack for in between meals while you watch tv.
Not impressed with these bars, and they even look like an ugly grey brick when you open the package.
Ski Dude
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Never really been a big fan of bars. Typically a tough chew to consume. These are a nice consistency, the yogurt bottom helps. I drink a generous amount with all energy products.
Greg A.
Berry banana buzz!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Getting a natural "sting" of energy (see what i did there :)) is the best way while outdoors! You can't beat the delicious flavors of these. They are super compact and pack a great deal of energy to get you feeling good and replenished to get your ass up that mountain or down depending on what your doing! Get after it with these delicious snacks!
Lots of Energy
Great bar for running. It provides nutrients needed and energy to keep you going. It is bulkier than chews so I would go with chews.
Patrick Mulligan
Great Bars
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I now grab these over Cliff Bars because I find them easier to eat and for some reason they keep me from getting hungry longer. I've used them rock climbing, mtb'ing, and hunting and they definitely do the job.
Bowhunting and ultra running...
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've used these as an "inbetweener" when chasing elk in the mountains. Good combo of protein and carbs in the PB'nH flav. Also use them along with a recovery drink immediately after an ultra. Good stuff!
Just add water
Taste great and perform great (love 'em pre-ride) but make sure you've got something in your hand to wash it down with.
Christopher Smith
I got the Berry Banana Buzz and love the flavor. It's got a little bit of crunch, but doesn't wear your jaw out like a Clif Bar can. Have some water ready if you're going to eat one of these, but you should have water with you anyway.
Chris jenney
I like them?
End the suffer-fest of trying to get a chalky grainy energy bar down your throat and just buy these. Went from energy bar id use on tours to snack id eat whenever i could. They're delicious!Peanut butter and honey!
Nunez, Eduardo
Honey Stinger Energy Bar
This bar is really good tasting and gives you the energy you need for your training.
Highly recommended.
I simply cannot believe how good this tasted. Even the 7 year old was loving them. No question, we'll be taking these on our backpacking trips again. Can we have a packaging that is burnable?
Evan Tougas
Energy that tastes good?
I love these things, I'm pretty sure if they weren't so expensive I would eat them daily. I've only had apple cinnamon and berry banana buzz but they were both delicious. I practically lived off of these for a few weeks. They give you great energy without making you feel weighted down like probars do. All organic goodness
Tommy Nankervis
Honey Stinger Energy Bar
This is the best bar you can have while racing or training. They taste great, are moist enough to get down in a hurry, and have great nutritional values. I have even used these in criteriums without thinking they are too dry. I highly recommend!

Ottawa Senators coach Paul MacLean leaves his brief news conference on Tuesday. / Patrick Doyle, AP
Beat reporters used to time New York Rangers coach John Tortorella's news conferences to see if he set a record for terseness.
The usually loquacious Paul MacLean might have beaten Tortorella's personal best.
After all, what could you really say about a 7-3 loss? Especially one in which the Senators had a 2-1 second-period lead only to see it evaporate quickly and then fall apart in the third, turning an excellent chance to tie the series with the Pittsburgh Penguins into a 3-1 deficit?
So he didn't answer any questions.
When one reporter started to speak up, MacLean held up an official score sheet and said:
"I think everything's right here. It's 7-3. See you in Pittsburgh. We're going to Pittsburgh and we're coming to play. Have a good night."
Total speaking time: 13 seconds.

GOUVERNEUR E.J. Noble Hospital has agreed to be managed by Canton-Potsdam Hospital.
We have entered into a management contract with Canton-Potsdam Hospital and are waiting the approval of our owner, said Timothy J. Monroe, chairman of the board of E.J. Noble.
Dr. Monroe, a veterinarian, said the deal has been reviewed by the state Health Department and is awaiting the approval of National Automatic Sprinkler Pension Fund, which guaranteed the $11 million in bonds used to finance the E.J. Nobles recent addition.
Were doing our due diligence and going through the plans and projections and hope to resolve that quickly, said Lee O. Smith, investment adviser with Hartland Asset Management, the agent for the pension fund. Were going through the process of reviewing everything and getting a handle on everything. When weve gone through it, well have a decision.
Mr. Smith said he thought a decision is possible in about 10 days.
The Health Department had no immediate comment.
CPH spokeswoman Rebecca J. Faber referred questions to E.J. Noble.
Any information concerning E.J. Noble will have to come from E.J. Noble, she said.
The Gouverneur hospital has struggled since the Health Department closed its laboratory Sept. 28 because of deficiencies, forcing E.J. Noble to shut down many of its essential services, including the emergency room.
After E.J. Noble came up with a corrective plan, the Health Department allowed a partial reopening of the lab under the supervision of Samaritan Medical Center, Watertown, an arrangement which could continue even with CPH handling administration.
Samaritan provided us with a quick response to a restructuring demanded by the Health Department, Dr. Monroe said. Theyre still involved with the lab. Its not intended to have a timeline.
However, E.J. Nobles blood bank remains closed, which means it cannot perform most surgeries and its maternity ward is closed. The hospital has been turning in proficiency reports to the Health Department, which has not yet cleared any reopening.
At least 70 employees were laid off when the hospital shut down the first time and less than half of those have returned to work.
The partial shutdown also has been hard on physicians, some of whom are working temporarily in other locations.
None of the doctors have left yet, Dr. Monroe said. I know some are planning on leaving.
Reduced services have left the hospital financially limping. An attempt to draw on restricted funds in the hospitals endowment does not appear promising and the hospital is working on a package of potential grants and loans through the state and other agencies,
Finances are dwindling, Dr. Monroe said. Its very close. We dont have a lot of money.
The resignation of Administrator Charles P. Conole in December cleared the way for the deal with CPH, which is helping the hospital with human resources, financial issues and quality assurance.
Theyre looking at all these things so we can streamline our operation and gain more revenue, Dr. Monroe said. Right now, were not reimbursing them for the services theyre provided.
He was unsure whether Marlinda L. LaValley, vice president for administrative services at CPH, would stay on as administrator at E.J. Noble or whether the hospital would end up with a different arrangement.
That decision hasnt been discussed at all, Dr. Monroe said.
