"Fun, but not for squeamish"
Off and on while listening to "The Thunderbolt Kid" you realize that no one's memory of childhood could be that good, and that Bryson has invented and embroidered throughout. But it doesn't matter: his Midwest 1950s is recreated in such careful detail that you're more reliving his story than listening to it. This is somewhat less than wonderful when he is describing with gusto, about once every five minutes, various encounters with boogers, dog poo, partially masticated food, and--but you get the idea. (On the other hand, if you're a conoisseur of the gross you'll be delighted.)
Bryson has a huge audience and most of his readers are not Americans of his generation, so he's justified in his historical excursions into the sociology and highly problematic American political culture of the 1950s. His boyhood in Des Moines was lived in a sort of happy bubble, something he's acutely aware of as an adult.
His reading doesn't have the range or verve of some professional readers, but it's clear and careful and has a quiet intimacy that grew on me as the reading went on.
"Superb telling of a foundational New World story"
Yes, if only to re-read the opening chapters with full knowledge of where the characters they introduce were going to end up. Resendez starts off with plenty of history, of the Spanish colonization project, the backgrounds of the principal figures in the narrative and their relations with the Spanish court and colonial administrators, and it's a lot to assimilate. But it's absolutely critical background for understanding what Cabeza de Vaca's shipmates thought their mission was in the New World, and why they made the mistakes they did.
Davis is one of the best narrators of nonfiction I've heard on audiobook. His pacing and intonation are consistently spot on. His pronunciation of Spanish is also of near-native quality. (This does mean that an English speaker may not always catch a name on first hearing; but that's a small price to pay for a narrator capable of being so faithful to his material.)
Cabeza de Vaca's narrative is many things: an epic story of survival, a harrowing tragedy, a lesson in the folly and hubris of the Spanish conquistadores, a rare source of evidence about the lives of numerous Native peoples just before their lives were changed forever by European expansion. If you've read his own telling of it, you know that there are, for the modern reader, lots of puzzling gaps and unanswered questions. Resendez's project is to fill in those gaps and answer as many of the questions as he can while retelling chronologically the story of the Narváez expedition. He's good on the Native American background and especially good on the Spanish background—at moments you feel like you're actually present at the court of Charles I or dockside in Seville watching the colonists' ships being loaded. The result is a story that's gripping enough for someone encountering it for the first time, but informative enough to satisfy someone who knows it well.
(For what it's worth, the publisher's summary is a bit inaccurate. Only four men survived until the end of the tale, but many of the original 300 made it as far as Texas. The four survivors weren't originally trying to get to the Pacific—as we learn, that was a shift in destination made very late in their story.)
"Funny, moving, brilliant"
Somehow, "The Girls of Slender Means" manages to be simultaneously: an often hilariously funny social satire (particularly of the publishing business); an amazingly realistic account of the deprivations of post-war England; and a deeply moving character study of the conflict between innocence and soulless evil. In some ways it's a "Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" with twenty-somethings instead of younger girls, and it's a good bet that if you have read and enjoyed that book you'll like this one. Nadia May is as always a fine interpreter of Muriel Spark, with fine pacing and a deft hand at conveying Spark's dry irony.
"Worth it for Rebus's London"
The best thing about "Tooth and Nail" is the chance to see London through John Rebus's bemused eyes. Rankin has fun skewering some of the sillier and more self-inflated aspects of the English capital circa 1990—and London attitudes toward their Scottish neighbors—but gives due props to the city's vitality and variety as well. The next best thing is Rebus's London colleague, Inspector George Flight, and his interaction with Rebus; but then in the early Rankin mysteries I've read so far Rebus's collegial relations are a lot more engaging than his love interests. As for the plot... well, I can't say I found the psychology of the serial killer here very convincing, and the killer's internal monologues are pretty excruciating to have to listen to, but Rankin does a nice job of throwing red herrings in the reader's path to figuring out who it is.
Narrator Samuel Gillies is English and does a fine job with the London characters, but his voicing is too plummy for my taste and he has to work too hard at Rebus's Edinburgh accent to make him entirely convincing.
"Coe returns to his comic vein, but keeps the depth"
If you've read Coe's previous fiction, you know that the novel preceding this one, "The Rain Before It Falls", was a departure from all his earlier work in having very little humor; instead it was an elegaic story about memory, family secrets, and how we piece together other people's stories. "The Terrible Privacy of Maxwell Sim" shares all of those themes but restores the comedy: plenty of moments in this novel are demonically funny, though usually more in the ironic mode than laugh-out-loud. (Although Sim's romance with his satnav, aka GPS, is pretty hilarious.) Fans of Coe's earlier fiction should enjoy this one, and for new readers this is a good one to start with.
The narrator and main character, Maxwell Sim, starts off as such a sad sack—or schlemiel, or sorry sod, depending on your idiom—that he's a bit painful to travel along with at first. But Colin Buchanan's narrative voice is energetic enough that Sim never becomes boring. (Buchanan, who is Scottish, does a good job with the variety of northern, Midland, Southern English and Australian accents of the novel's main characters.)
The novel has a somewhat unexpected happy ending--well, mostly happy--and a puzzlingly self-indulgent little epilogue that Coe should probably have left off and that knocks the fifth star off my rating.
"Gripping novel, excellent production"
This was my first exposure to Wilkie Collins, after someone recommended "The Woman in White" as a good followup to going through most of Dickens on audiobook. I can now thoroughly second the recommendation. Marion Halcombe and Count Fosco are two of the most memorable characters I've encountered in English fiction, and Collins's mastery of plotting and suspense leaves most contemporary authors in the dust (I've just given up on Brad Meltzer's chaotic "The Inner Circle", but that's another story).
The use of dual male and female narrators takes some getting used to but in the end works well. The rationale is that the entire novel is constructed as a sequence of "narratives" by various characters of both sexes. Simon Prebble is uniformly excellent; Josephine Bailey starts out a bit woodenly but soon picks up in intensity, and does a fine job voicing range of characters from different classes and regions. Count Fosco's accent wavers more than a little between (and even within) narrators, but he's such an outlandish piece of work that this is hardly a distraction.
"A disappointment on two counts."
Like probably a lot of people, I know Wallace Shawn best from his roles in "My Dinner with André" and "Princess Bride". I've never seen one of his plays, and although I suppose I must have read one or more of the essays that originally appeared in "The Nation" I don't remember them. That should have tipped me off that the essays are, in fact, pretty unmemorable. I was hoping for more wit and play of intellect, but Wallace Shawn is basically a semi-intellectual: he knows his way around the neighborhood of ideas but hasn't built many original ones. This is abundantly clear in the interview with a genuine intellectual, Noam Chomsky, that is included here, the best thing in the book I'd say: even if you loathe Chomsky's politics you have to concede his brilliance in marshalling evidence and putting together an argument. Shawn, in contrast, stays at the level of generalities in most of these pieces.
—Second, even if you're a huge fan of Shawn you might be better off with the printed version of the book. Unless you have excellent hearing, this is not an audiobook for the car or anyplace with much background noise: Shawn's dynamic range goes way up and down, and if you set a volume that won't hurt your ears during his forceful passages you're likely to miss half of a sentence when he drops back to near a whisper.
"The prime of Muriel Spark"
A confession: for many years, based on watching half of "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie" on TV once, I had the notion that Muriel Spark the sort of popular novelist who wouldn't interest me. Fifteen minutes into "Memento Mori" I knew I had been wrong, and by the time I had finished I had a new favorite novelist--or one on my short list at least.
The "publisher's summary" of the novel is misleading, making it sound like an Agatha Christie plot. In fact the "crime mystery" aspect of the book is a sort of red herring, as the real interest is the interplay among characters that is at once wickedly funny and, by the end of the novel, genuinely moving. You'll probably get a bit more out of the book if you're reasonably aware of the evolution of social class and manners in England from the turn of the 20th century to the late 1950s, as it helps to know which of Spark's characters are still living in the past and which have adapted to modernity, but it's really a universal novel and could just as well have been set in New York or Boston.
Nadia May's voice characterizations are pitch-perfect. My only quibble with the audio presentation is inconsistency in section/chapter breaks -- some of the pauses within chapters are unaccountably long and had me wondering a couple of times if my MP3 player had quit. Apart from that, an excellent performance.
"Powerful if flawed reimagining of Jesus' story"
Two groups of readers should avoid this book. If you're a devout Christian who is just plain offended by any treatment of Jesus that departs from worshipful orthodoxy, the title alone has warned you not to spend your money. Equally, if you're a nonbeliever who has never read the New Testament and isn't familiar with the past century's worth of research into the historic Jesus, chances are this novel will bore you, and you'll have no clue why Pullman sometimes sticks close to the Gospels and sometimes departs radically from them.
But Christians aware of the historical complexity of Christianity, and non-Christians who are nevertheless moved and fascinated by the words and story of Jesus, should enjoy grappling with Pullman's "what if" experiments in this novel. On one level, twin brothers "Jesus" and "Christ" simply stand for the familiar opposition between the "historic Jesus" and the Christ that emerged as disciples coalesced into the early church and then a great Church that ruled an empire. The title is intentionally misleading, however: the "good" Jesus is shown to have all-too-human failings (unconcern for his family, the anti-Gentile prejudice of his day), while "scoundrel" Christ develops a complexity of character that recalls Dostoevsky's tragic figures.
Pullman's well-known atheism doesn't prevent him from having a deep respect for much of the career and teachings of Jesus, and his modern-English rendering of the Sermon on the Mount is especially powerful. Even the "bad guys" in the novel (roughly, speaking, organized religion and the theology of the Gospel of John) are admitted to have been essential parts of Western culture. But he stumbles, to my mind, by making Jesus sound too much like Phillip Pullman toward the novel's end.
Pullman is a fine reader of his own writing, pacing well and giving convincing voice to both major and minor characters.
"Disappointing audio quality"
I enjoyed Frederick Davidson's reading of "Martin Chuzzlewit", so I was looking forward to his version of "David Copperfield". But the digital audio quality on my download was subpar. Even in the enhanced format it sounds a bit tinny, like a radio broadcast. The narration is perfectly comprehensible and one gets somewhat used to it after a while, but I still found it detracted from the listening experience.
"Overlong but under-rated Dickens"
"Barnaby Rudge" is possibly Dickens's least well-known novel among modern readers. Hollywood has ignored it: there's a 1915 silent film version, a 1960 BBC version, and that's it. There are reasons for this: the novel makes an awkward 5-year jump in the middle, sends major characters off-stage for hundreds of pages, and is in general more padded with extraneous material and long conversations than it needs to be. Even if you're a Dickens fan, you might prefer an abridged version as an audiobook.
But the full version has its rewards. Over time, characters who initially seemed flat and stereotyped take on true psychological depth. The best of them are among the best in Dickens--no one has created a better picture of genteel hypocrisy than Sir John Chester, for example. There are magnificent descriptions of 18th-century inns and an imaginative recreation of London after dark, pre-gaslight. And the historical portions, the depiction of Lord Gordon, the rioters, and the anarchy they unleash on London, are as compelling as the better-known counterparts in "Tale of Two Cities".
Whitfield's narration and voice characterization is excellent throughout, despite a couple of annoying idiosyncrasies (notably, the way he handles "Why" as an exclamation). Audio quality of the file is excellent (enhanced format).

yeah i know. it's not just a matter of finding the ex-developers, but also figuring out where did the code and copyrights transfer to.
well, i actually know one developer; maybe we ought to give it a shot? ( http://home.comcast.net/~tom_forsyth/ )
Brilliant initiative!
May I suggest that you start your list on the first page with positive/negativ developers/publishers. That seems more efficient as the game list is getting very long.
One question also. Is there a general porting problem if the game has been developed with DirectX 10 or more recent in mind? That would also help sieving through game space.
If possible, it may even lead to a tabulated list. Well, with the risk that Big Bad M will come knocking on their door, ruining any chance to get the game ported.

Great work Svartalf, any news about upcoming shadowground survivors? It seems to stalled in beta stage.
Oh and how about the Iron Sky, just curious becouse it will be developed by the same studio that start to make port for Shadowgrounds survivors...
I suggest you revisit this property. EA Had backup tapes of Origin Systems Inc. If you can get permission from EA to use the contents of the tapes. The guys who run http://www.wcnews.com can provide you with copies. They recently went into EA Mythic and went through the tapes/cdrom archives copying off as much stuff as they could get their hands on. THERE WAS SOURCECODE to games in there. Including code to unreleased titles. I myself am in possession of some sourcecode elements of Wing Commander: Prophecy (Wing Commander 5). My advice is to contact EA first. WCNews.com will be willing to help you (they love the games and all platforms they exist on) but only if the effort looks serious and it can get EA approval. If you're lucky you could get the code to 13+ titles from that archive alone not to mention a bunch of Ultima games. They did find code to all sorts of things in there. Anyway the main point is. EA has abandoned those titles. They may allow you to port them but EA has no idea what they are in possession of at the moment. They basically shoved all the Origin stuff in a big box and put it in a warehouse. Please look into this more. It's probably very feasible.
Beyond Good & Evil ! Awesome game !
Might and Magic series (including Meroes of Might and Magic). They are now owned by Ubisoft, but was initially created by New World Computing. None of the games, with the exception of the world-famous Heroes of Might and Magic III: The Restoration of Erathia, have Linux ports.
Then Unreal II: The Awakening and Unreal II: eXpanded MultiPlayer. I believe Epic Games shouldn't mind giving enough code to port it to Linux, knowing that these games are currently the only ones that don't run natively on Linux.
Moreover, I have to mention Command and Conquer: Red Alert series games: 1, 2, and 3. None of them have a Linux port and are now owned by Electronic Arts.
Finally, the last games I'd like to see with Linux ports are Red Faction series games: 1 and 2. They were created by Volition.
heroes of might and magic 2 has a open source re-implementation of the engine that actually works pretty well @ http://sourceforge.net/projects/fheroes2/, heroes 3 has one too @ http://antypika.aplus.pl/vcmi/forum/portal.php
Real commercial Linux games are games that don't require you to buy a Windows version, using WINE or downloading an installer, but games you can buy and then just install and play it.
Games like Doom 3, Quake 4 or Prey are no real Linux games, because you still have to buy the Windows version and downalod an installer.
Games released by LGP, Runesoft or Loki are real Linux games.
You're so right and that's the reason why I've bought the Linux version of Jack Keane on release date, although I already owned the Windows version of Jack Keane (also bought on release date). So I bought the same game two times for the full price. I really don't mind to pay for a second time, because this is a completely different release from another publisher on another platform. In my opinion it's very important to buy the Linux version if you already own the Windows version, because othetwise the big companies would say: "See how many Windows versions are sold, but no one buys the Linux version. It's just not profitable to release games for Linux. It's a bad idea to release games for Linux."
I also hate WINE for this same reason. Using WINE people can buy the Windows version for a few Dollars / Euros / Pound and play the game on Linux. A lot of people won't buy the Linux version, because they think it's too expensive. They only look at the price and see the price of the Linux version is eight times as high as the price of the Windows version, so they buy the Windows version to run the game in WINE. This is the worst thing a user of the Linux platform can do. People, this means another sale for the already too populair Windows platform and another lost sale for the Linux platform! All of those Windows games played through WINE are counted as "games which are played on Windows". Nobody knows you play it on Linux, those big guys think it's played on Windows and count it as such.
Another thing: Why would a developer ever think about releasing games for Linux? Why should they put any money and effort into releasing their games for Linux? Users of the Linux platform got WINE and they can run the games using WINE. Why should a developer put any money and effort into releasing teir games multiplatform if they can also develop their games only for Windows and let the community of WINE do all the work for free. Users of the Linux platform will just buy the Windows version and play the game using WINE. Result: The developers still sells his games to users of other operating systems, but doesn't have to put any money and effort into it. Microsoft keeps saying: "See how populair our operating system is. See how many games are sold for our platform. To make any money you have to develop your games for Windows, other platforms aren't profitable."
In my opinion WINE is a bad piece of software that doesn't do any good to Linux. It only makes gamers buy Windows versions and thus making the Windows platform more populair. I've never used it and I won't be using it. I want to have software that runs native on Linux and buying Windows versions is the worst thing a user of Linux can do. Don't look at the price, but think about which operating system you want to support. Buy the Linux version, even though it's more expensive or you already own the Windows version.
I also hate the Linux releases of games like Doom 3, Quake 4 and Prey. I don't want a downloadable installer, because I don't want to support Windows, so I don't want to buy the Windows version. I want to support Linux and I want to buy a native Linux version.
In the Windows times I and a friend of mine always played Worms World Party. If this game would be released for Linux we would both buy the game at the day it gets released.
Normally I want the newest version of games, instead of old games. Windows has all those impressive looking games with great physics and sounds and such. Linux has older games with old graphics and such (I completely understand you don't have the money for expensive new games).
For Worms it's completely different. I don't need those new versions. If there'll ever be a Worms game for Linux, please let it be an old version. Those new 3D version of Worms aren't any fun. Some games just have to be 2D and Worms is one of them.
I also want to know. I was really looking forward to buy this game on the 30th of March. Is there any new about the current status? Any new release date?
Wow, that sounds really impressive. Sounds like it could be a really nice game.
I would also love to play Ascendency. Unfortunately, regarding what The Logic Factory are up to now, google reveals the disappointing path they've taken:

Pindar Winter White NV
- New York
- United States
- Long Island
To get some idea of how well established many of the wineries in New York state are, one only has to look to certain locations around the Hudson River area of the region, where there are several wineries which have vineyards dating back over three hundred years. This relatively long tradition of wine-making for a New World country has resulted in some truly exceptional wines, making the most of the imported grape varietals which thrive in the cooler, damper climatic conditions which characterize the state. New York today produces a wide range of wine styles, but is mostly known for its white wines made from such esteemed varietals as Riesling and Pinot Noir, and a few superb sparkling wines which demonstrate the strengths of the Chardonnay grapes grown there.
For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

Well, that was a tough one. Check out the latest rankings update, loads of action!
Well, that was a tough one. Check out the latest rankings update, loads of action!
i know he is a team mate of mine so im a bit biased but why is Walter Gahadza still at 26?? at 11-0 over 3 years surely he should be a bit higher then he is, not top 10 but at least top 20 surely.
He hasn't really beaten anyone though mate
Mathew Gurr 0-1
Arunas Klicius 0-10
Mathew Foster 0-1
Giacomo Pala 1-5
Giuseppe Aramini 1-3
Andy Cona 0-12 (on sherdog i heard he has 2 maybe 3 wins but is missing losses too)
Darius Kuncevicius 1-9
Tautvydas Lileikis 8-9
Paul Cook 11-4 (1-4 in last 5, only win in that time against Danny Welsh)
Manuel Garcia 25-15 Has a history of not beating anyone any good
Loic Marty 13-15
Is that the form of someone who should be top 10...top 20 maybe?
There are some good fights for him out there at WW and i'm for 1 interested to see those fights
This problem can be easily solved by fighting someone in the top twenty He's blasted through the competition so far, and I'm sure a lot of people are excited to see him step up. Welterweight is an extremely stacked division. I'd like to see him against someone like Rob Mills or Bola Omoyele.
Agree that Dan Hope not being in there is probably an oversight, but there's a few becoming inactive next month at WW so things will change up a bit.
I'm presuming its because of who he's beaten.
U155lbs is stacked.
Rankings have went mental this month lol. Massive task to undertake and props to you guys at Your MMA for keeping up with it.
I don't agree with some of the placings this month though. Some guys higher/lower than they arguably should be or not in at all. Hope you guys don't take it bad but I'll mention a few examples...
Still don't think Ash Grimshaw should be above Dave Hill when he has a win over him, albeit split decision. A wins a win. Josh Ramage I think is a bit high given the quality of the wins on his record. If you compare him to Alex Enlund, for example, who has a good win over Gambetesa. I think maybe guys like Chris Garry should be in the rankings with wins over Gambetesa and McDonough.
Im surprised that Merv Mullholland has went from 14 to 23 after the loss to Wheeler. Granted Wheeler was an unranked fighter last month but if you compare it to other times this has happened e.g. Sam Boult def. Alan Johnston, Johnston kept his high ranking and Boult went in just above him. Colin Fletcher moves down two places on the back of one loss in the UFC, Steven Ray moves up one place on the back of a loss to Curt Warburton. Doesn't make sense, not consistent. I think some guys like Chris Stringer and Myles Price have better quality wins than some of the guys at the lower end of the rankings.
Ryan Scope jumps in at 18 after a win over Luke Newman who was ranked 30 last month. I think hype has been the driving force behind that and there are guys with better wins that should be above him at the minute. JMS so low at WW? Danny Mitchell below Danny Roberts? Mitchell has wins over the likes of Musoke which is better than any of Roberts wins just now. I think hype has also pushed Ash Beamont up the rankings. Wins over 0-8, 1-2, 4-3, 7-3 (Lee Caers being the best win there, and his wins have come to guys with negative records). I think guys like Dean Amasigner (wins over Seydina Seck, Peter Irving, James Bateman), Ronan McKay (wins over Cathal Pendred, Lee Chadwick and Leigh Cahoon) and Dan Hope (wins over Avi Jack, Steven Ray and Gary Kono) should be in above guys like Ash Beamont, Quasim Shafiq, Warren Kee etc.
I hope this doesn't offend any of the fighters mentioned. Not an attack, merely some observations.
I would ban the triangle choke, the refuge of cowards everywhere.
some good points dude but without looking I think you need to look at dates on a lot of them. Surely time frame has to be taken into account
Guys like Dean Amasinger haven't won at the weight in question for 2 years probably
Same for Danny Mitchell must be well over a year since a win at ww
Ronan Mckays big wins came back in 2009
I can't speak for all of the panelists but I will try and make sense of some of these. I'm aware opinions will obviously vary and appreciate everyone's constructive criticism. No offense is taken when it's constructive. Or otherwise really to be fair.
There was as close a decision as you'll get with many thinking Grimshaw won it. Since that fight Dave has lost 3 of 4, and hasn't fought since a June loss. Grimshaw has won five of six (admittedly some of the competition hasn't been great) with his loss being a close split decision.
Ramage has several wins not on Sherdog, including one over Alan Philpott. Enlund's win over Gambatesa was three years ago, and he hasn't had his best run of form recently. Garry has retired.
Merv had a big win to get up there, but things have gone mental with the lightweights since. The loss brought him down a few spots for sure, but that's also because other around had good wins.
Re: Fletcher, I actually think it was a tad harsh for him to move down a couple of places after that performance, but I think Ray upped his stock with a valiant performance over a very good (one of the best) lightweights in Europe. Time will help sort the absolute madness that is the lower end of the lightweights out.
Scope has good wins over Ward, Barrs etc. previously, and submitted Newman in a round. He was only out due to inactivity. Danny has been inactive against quality opposition through injuries etc and boxing, but there's no doubting he's right up there when he's in the mix. A win over Jack Mason is a very good one for Roberts, and in the manner it was.
The manner Beaumont has been winning fights has definitely got him some fans - big knockouts and running through tough guys would certainly catch someone's eye more.
Amasinger is inactive. Looking at it, there's definitely a case for Dan Hope. Ronan McKay is a tough dude, but also relatively inactive of late and his big wins are way back.
Not bad to be pulled up on only a few things when you look at the size of the task. As I said, no offence taken. Everyone will view some things differently. We try to be as unbiased as possible and be the best resource possible, always looking to improve.
Cheers for the reply dude. You're a gent. A few guys in there have apparently retired. Still thought people were eligible up until the year mark, my mistake.
With regards to big wins being from a few years back, I just kinda think it's a disservice to guys who have fought stiff competition seeing guys who are beating up "lesser" fighters more recently fly up past them in the rankings.
It's a hard thing when doing rankings, but I suppose I would always give the dude who is testing himself against top competition and coming up short a few times, winning a few times, a higher ranking than guys who go on win streaks beating less than notable opponents.
Anyway, that's my tuppence worth in
I would ban the triangle choke, the refuge of cowards everywhere.

I Didn't Know That: Beating a Lie Detector Test
Is it possible to beat a lie detector test? Jonny Phillips tries out various methods to outwit a lie detector and keep his "crime" hidden.
I Didn't Know That
I Didn't Know That: Beating a Lie Detector Test
Lie Detector
Is it possible to beat a lie detector test? Jonny Phillips tries out various methods to outwit a lie detector and keep his "crime" hidden.
EXAMINER: Hello Jonny.
JONNY PHILLIPS (SYNC): Hi there.
EXAMINER: Er - would you like to take a seat?
JONNY PHILLIPS (SYNC): Sure.
JONNY PHILLIPS (V/O): The lie detector, or polygraph. We've all seen the movies. Some steely eyed spy trying to conceal the truth from a mysterious interrogator. But can you beat a lie detector in real life?
Lying is a stressful business. The natural physiological reactions to telling a bit fat whopper is that your pulse quickens, you breathe faster and you start to sweat. Polygraphs work by detecting these changes. So any spike on the chart can indicate stress and therefore the possibility of a lie. So the key to deceiving a lie detector is to try and hide your real stress levels.
24 hours earlier I nicked Richard's games console. The question was, could I hide my act of dishonesty from the machine?
I was hooked up to it so that my breathing, skin conductivity and blood pressure could be measured.
Polygraph tests start with the examiner asking a series of basic questions to which the answers are known to be true. This establishes a baseline which indicates the average stress levels of that individual.
JONNY (PTC): Now one rumoured technique used by old spies was to put a drawing pin in their shoe. Now I'm gonna press my toes down onto this pin during the baseline questions. Hopefully the pain will increase my stress levels, so that during the potentially incriminating questions my nervous stress won't register any higher on the charts.
EXAMINER (SYNC - TO JONNY): OK. I'm gonna ask you a series of questions. I just need you to answer yes or no to each question.
Are you known as Jonny?
JONNY (SYNC - TO EXAMINER): Yes.
EXAMINER: Is today Tuesday?
JONNY: Yes
EXAMINER: Just keep perfectly still for me.
JONNY (V/O): Which is quite difficult when your big toe's jammed down on a drawing pin.
EXAMINER: Are you wearing a grey jacket?
JONNY: Yes.
JONNY (V/O): With the baseline questions over, it was time for the main interrogation to begin.
JONNY (V/O): I was also hoping another trick might fool the machine. Stress makes you sweat more which increases your skin conductivity, putting tell tale spikes on the graph. So earlier I'd sprayed my fingers with anti perspirant to reduce the flow.
EXAMINER (SYNC): The test has started. Regarding the missing games console, do you intend to answer truthfully each question about that?
Prior to age 25 did you ever steal anything from a shop?
Famously, in the late 80s, CIA agent Aldridge Ames beat two polygraph tests while he was spying for the Russians by apparently just being super relaxed. Have my techniques worked with similar results?
EXAMINER: Prior to 2005 have you ever taken anything from a friend knowing you would not return it?
JONNY: No.
EXAMINER: Do you know where the missing games console is right now?
JONNY: No.
EXAMINER: Did you take the missing games console that Richard was using?
JONNY: No.
EXAMINER: Well Jonny, we've come to the end of your test and I'm afraid to tell you that you actually failed the test. There was one particular question, which was did you take the missing games console from the bench in the lab? And it shows a significant change in your breathing, in you galvanic sweat resistance and your blood pressure. Um you failed one question, so you failed the entire test.
JONNY (V/O): I'd made a fatal error. Apparently the pain induced stress caused by the drawing pin produced a totally different spike to that caused by nervous stress. And tests have shown that most anti perspirants actually increase skin conductivity.
I may not have beaten the lie detector, but a failed test isn't enough for a conviction in a UK court of law. Although it might help persuade a jury.

The process of restarting the unit began late last year, but was further delayed by the discovery of new pipe leaks and a small fire. A person familiar with operations said the segment will run at 200,000 to 225,000 bpd for about three to four weeks before ramping up to its full capacity of 325,000 bbl.
By ALISON SIDER
Motiva Enterprises has successfully restarted the expansion segment of its Port Arthur, Texas, refinery after months of setbacks and false starts, a spokeswoman for the company said.
Kimberly Windon, a spokeswoman for Royal Dutch Shell, said the refinery's new crude distillation unit, VPS 5, was safely restarted over the weekend and will ramp up to full production early this year.
Motiva is a joint venture between Shell and Saudi Aramco. The companies spent $10 billion to expand the Port Arthur refinery to 600,000 bpd, making it the largest refinery in the US.
A person familiar with the refinery's operations said Tuesday that the expansion segment will run at 200,000 to 225,000 bpd for about three to four weeks before ramping up to its full capacity of 325,000 bbl.
But the new crude unit has experienced several problems since it first debuted last spring. The unit underwent six months of repairs when caustic -- a chemical that neutralizes the acid in heavy, sour crudes but can also corrode steel -- leaked into the unit and caused extensive corrosion throughout its pipes.
The crude distillation unit is the first step in the oil refining process, separating oil into different cuts that form the basis of different fuels.
The process of restarting the unit began late last year, but was further delayed by the discovery of new pipe leaks and a small fire.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

There's a subtle undertone to this shirt. It's not at all what we think it's about. There are nine individuals. Cats have nine lives. There's milk involved and cats like milk. The one on the table is obviously not feline well. This has something to do with cats.

"Sadly, this experimentation on it's own kind plagued several species. This was a dark time to be The Gingerbread Man, The Muffin Man, and also the lesser known (but still relevant) PopTart Man.
I am confused and sickened when I look at this shirt (plus what it is based on)... and I can't help but wonder "why was the shirt printed?"
why are they... the milks it's... but why are they... oh, my! That incredulous!
An inspired parody of Rembrandt's painting that also comments on the Dutch master's fear of gingerbread or being doused in milk. This works on so many levels. Bravo!
creepiest woot shirt ever?
I just went on a trip to Portland and my host was insistent that we go there. We went on a Friday night and the line was huge. We're standing there with business men and hobos, meanwhile street kids are working the line for loose change. Police officers came and attempted (unsuccessfully) to chase off the kids, but they got into a see-who-could-intimidate-the-other-more-by-taking-cell-phone-pics contest. After at least an hour in line, we finally got in the door. But once inside, you're still 15 minutes away from the counter. Got to the counter, ordered 1 donut each, handed over the cash, and were out the door in nothing flat. Definitely an interesting place. Lots of interesting (some sexually suggestive) donuts, good flavors, good prices, and plenty of vegan options.
I was also confused, thanks for the Rembrandt post! Now I want to get this for my friend who graduated with a BFA and teaches art- he'd get it, right?
Not bad, I like the originality of the design! Although, how many Pilgrims took anatomy? Hehe... That one on the right looks overtly happy, though. Makes me wonder about the lives of the Gingerbread folk. I hear they're pretty flexible with today's standards, morals and diets. Ginger is coming back! ***Thanks for that reminder, I knew there was a familiarity with this one... Phew, thought it was a past life, but it was just a past painting. w00t!
Paigeg is bored with cutesy takes on classic art.
I hate to be a h8r, but I can't get past it looking like they are titilated by pouring icing on his crotch. I know it's milk, but it looks like icing, to me...and Rembrandt's instructor was pointing out the anatomy of the left arm, not the groin! Awesome idea, tho. Congratulations on the print

don't tell to anyone, but i'm.

Voodoo Doughnuts now has a shop in Eugene, Oregon, too. Might not make much difference, but I figured I'd mention it since lots of people around here were looking forward to its opening. And as for the gingerbread topic, they have a signature doughnut in the shape of a voodoo doll with a pretzel shoved into its chest. X-eyes and all. That's why this shirt may remind one of Voodoo Doughnuts.

Beware the Vashta Nerada, "the Shadows that melt the flesh"!
Not gonna lie, all I see is a gingerbread body shot
Classy idea and it's really cool to see a derby shirt make it as a daily BUT... the smiles on the gingerbread are unnecessarily creepy.
Alright, I admit I didn't "get" this at first, but I like it anyway. Would make a good conversation starter.
I guess the reference might be clear for art lovers, but I would think a lot of people are going to miss it and wonder PWND! is going on here. And yeah, those smiles are really creepy. I do like the design, but I don't think I'd wear this.
shichi wrote:Ewww gingerbread gangbang
rofl It didn't need to be said, but that was worth stopping by for. Definitely not in for this one.
I think since the original artwork is unknown to a vast majority of people, the parody should have more closely matched it. Mainly the expressions, and perhaps have the teacher holding a gum drop in some forceps or something. If you don't know the original artwork this probably looks something like a group of necrophiliac gingerbread men with a milk fetish.
I still don't get what's going on.. Is that milk/cream being poured? Congrats on the print though. I thought Woot didn't print Derby entries but I guess they changed their policy.

Yeah, I really don't get what the whole "pouring milk on the crotch" is supposed to be representing, but they sure are happy to be doing so.

College Ministries serves the Luther College Community, congregations, and ministries of the church through:
What would it take to create a place where everyone is welcome, everyone is needed? For starters, it would take God's vision of the church—a feast where we are strengthened by encounters with God and one another and then sent out for the sake of the world. Everyone has a place at the table; everyone has something to offer.
Get involved and participate in worship as together we seek to explore, experience, and live out God's vision for the church! At College Ministries, our convictions run deep enough that we can invite others to share their story of faith freely and with joy though interfaith talks.
At the core of College Ministries is the Luther College Student Congregation. One of the largest student organizations on campus, the student congregation is led by the campus pastors and a group of students elected to serve on the church council.
Pastors are available and welcome meetings if you have any concern or prayers you would like to discuss with them.
College Ministries enriches Luther's partnership with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America by serving as a link between the Luther community and congregations, pastors, youth directors, synods, and ELCA organizations.

Black Feathers by Joseph D'Lacey
"Black Feathers is an enthralling novel written with gnarly, knotty elegance,
every page gravid with menace. Further proof, were it needed, that
Joseph D'Lacey is one of our great, dark hopes for the future of UK horror."
Conrad Williams, author of One, London Revenant,
The Unblemished and Loss of Separation
"Joseph D'Lacey has written a contemporary fairy-tale;
here, in Black Feathers, you'll get everything you want to find
in a work of dark, apocalyptic fiction: menace and magic
aplenty, and characters otherworldly, scary and fantastic.
A very special story, one to savour."
Paul Meloy, author of Islington Crocodiles
It is the Black Dawn, a time of environmental apocalypse, the earth wracked and dying.
It is the Bright Day, a time long generations hence, when a peace has descended across the world.
In each era, a child shall be chosen. Their task is to find a dark messiah known only as the Crowman. But is he our saviour – or the final incarnation of evil?

Praise and Reviews:
"A bold beginning to a new duology from the brilliant D'Lacey. Two children embark on a search for meaning that is riddled with ambiguity about the nature of the saviour they seek and which, ultimately, provides a siren call to live in harmony with the land."
– Alison Littlewood, author of A Cold Season
"Black Feathers is poetic and compelling. It's a gripping story crafted around a deep core of eloquent anger. And it's scary – it's the scariest kind of fiction – the kind of fiction that rings true. D'Lacey has written a great book of and for our troubled times."
– Tom Fletcher, author of The Leaping
"Dreadfully visionary. Appallingly inspired. One could wear out a thesaurus trying to articulate the singular fusion of qualities that has come to define Joseph D'Lacey's work. Alternately (and sometimes simultaneously) horrifying, mesmerizing, shocking, unsettling, and beautiful, and always deeply intelligent, it's utterly unlike anything else I'm aware of. It's also utterly wonderful."
– Matt Cardin, author of To Rouse Leviathan and Dark Awakenings
"Joseph D'Lacey is one of our best new horror writers, delivering surprises, intensity, and scares aplenty with each new book. And with every book, he's upping his game."
– Tim Lebbon, author of The Heretic Land
"A deeply personal story full of invention: as compassionate as it is genuinely terrifying. Joseph D'Lacey's talent lies in creating realities too close to our own for comfort, but his greatest gift is in his ability to always make us care about both.£
– Carole Johnstone, author of Frenzy
"Joseph D'Lacey rocks!"
– Stephen King
"An exceptional piece of apocalyptic/horror/fantasy fiction."
– Tor.com
"D'Lacey's passages are rife with urgency … its message on environmental issues, meticulous setting of scene, and successful intertwining of the characters' narratives makes for an engaging read."
– Publishers Weekly
"Black Feathers artfully weaves a tale of destruction and rebirth."
– SciFi Now
"If you're a horror fan and you're not already reading Joseph D'Lacey you had better have a bloody good excuse."
– The Eloquent Page
"I highly recommend this to any fans of horror, post-apocalyptic type books. Loved it, loved it – I want the next one already."
– Julie-Anne at Thoughts of a Scot
"full of powerful and beautiful passages that while written for this fictional Earth, are also very strongly advocating for us as a people to take better care of the Earth we live on."
– Lisa Taylor at Wilder's Book Reviews
"D'Lacey has served up his most delectable treat yet with this novel."
– Richard Kellum, Pan-Dimensional Elf Machines From Hyperspace
"I really, really enjoyed this book. I thought the elements of horror were woven into fantasy of the novel with real expertise … The mythology of The Crowman is well designed and feels very real."
– Karl at Kodex Karlthulu
"There's so much to be had in this book. The prose is stunning. D'Lacey's imagery is complete without being overwhelming. The unique plot is well-paced, and populated with believable characters."
– Alisha Cunningham at Dear Constant Reader
"With memorable settings, vivid writing and important themes, Black Feathers is an extremely atmospheric and thought-provoking read."
– Vicky Hooper, Vicky Thinks
"Spectacular is the word I'd use to describe [Black Feathers]. Nothing else can capture the reading experience."
– Shadowhawk at The Founding Fields
"I really enjoyed this book … The ending made my heart drop and almost frantic for more … This is a story I will be thinking about for a very long time."
– Tiara at The BiblioSanctum
"You need to go into this book knowing that its message is central to its existence. If you accept that, you will enjoy a superbly written dark fantasy with some truly original ideas and a very clever culture-crossing hero's journey."
– Alan Baxter, Thirteen O'Clock
"D'Lacey is not only a thought-provoking author who has the gift to make you think, he has the gift to make you feel what his characters are feeling as well (their fear, their pain, their emotion)."
– Jason at The Mad Ravings of an Entertainment Junkie
"A brilliant take on the post apocalyptic genre. Creepy, unnerving and page-turning, D'Lacey creates a compelling story with some fascinating characters."
– Bane of Kings at The Founding Fields
"As can be expected from Joseph's work, there are moments of horror, moments of wide-eyed disbelief, moments of laughter and tears and silence pregnant with either peace or rage. He managed to handle everything beautifully and with respect, making both his characters and the world they inhabit come alive."
– Dave-Brendon de Burgh
"The images of a bleak and savage world are genuinely horrific … Gripping stuff and I look forward to the conclusion of this tale."
– Theresa Derwin, Terror Tree
"I really did love this book, as it had everything I was looking for and more, and really redefined the genres of fantasy and dystopian fiction. I know the two genres have been merged before, but this book just had that special un-put-down-able spark I couldn't resist."
– Rebecca at Book Chick City
"D'Lacey does an excellent job interweaving the two narratives and the story moves along at a brisk pace … D'Lacey's definitely an author you should be checking out and this is an excellent book with which to start."
– Chris at All Things Urban Fantasy
"Black Feathers is one of the best books I have read this year … I don't think I've read a book quite like Black Feathers, but I know I liked it and I suspect that many of you will like it too."
– Ryan Lawler, Fantasy Book Review
"Black Feathers is a unique take on horror and it was for a me a story that did not turn out the way I expected. The narration of the book was great and it felt like the myth surrounding the Crowman is being read to me, being handed down to the next generation."
– Jasper de Joode, Fantasy Book Review
"Read it. If, like me, you feel like you've read every post-apocalyptic book out there, you haven't. Black Feathers is something different, with a new take on the end of the world."
– Leanna at Leeanna.me
"Black Feathers is an original and intelligent apocalypse story. It's a myth-filled fable of the end of the world on an individual basis. It's a coming-of-age story set on a cruel and broken Earth."
– Stanley Eriks
"It terrified me, made me angry, made me sad, transported me somewhere new and yet strangely familiar, and hasn't left my head yet. It combines mythology, folktale, shamanism, coming of age and apocalyptic themes to create something very special."
– And Then I Read a Book
"Recommended to anyone who wants a more intelligent story, with lots of secrets and mystery, people who don't mind a little thinking while reading."
– Draumr Kopa
"Irresistibly addicting."
– Books Bones & Buffy
"I loved this novel, despite the fact that it gave me chills and some bad dreams."
– Popcorn Reads
"A refreshing take on the whole post-apocalyptic genre and a great introduction to the writing of Joseph D'Lacey."
– Upcoming4Me

A nominating committee has named three finalists to serve as district judge in the 6th Judicial District, which includes Archuleta, San Juan and La Plata counties.
The finalists are William Herringer and Todd Norvell of Durango, and Todd Starr of Pagosa Springs.
They were selected Feb. 27 by the 6th Judicial District Nominating Commission. In addition to the three finalists, four others applied, including District Attorney Todd Risberg, La Plata County Magistrate Sarah Law, Durango lawyer Steven Boos and lawyer E. Michelle Sylvain.
Gov. John Hickenlooper has until March 14 to appoint one of the finalists.
The vacancy is being created by District Judge David Dickinson, who retired last month.
Starr, 49, is county attorney for Archuleta County. He also is serving as interim county administrator. If selected, he would be the first non-Durango resident to serve as 6th Judicial District judge, he said.
He grew up in Colorado, was admitted to practice law in 1989 in Nebraska, moved to Cortez in the 1990s, and moved to Archuleta County in 2009.
Starr said he has broad experience in law, including commercial litigation, family law, probate work, representing governmental bodies and some criminal work.
If appointed, Starr said he would draw on his diverse background and try to treat all people equally.
�The role of the judiciary is to adhere to the facts and apply the law, not to create the law,� he said. �I would foster an environment that would promote justice.�
Herringer, 47, has a private practice specializing in criminal defense, divorce and family law.
He was admitted to practice law in 1993 in Colorado. He served as a deputy public defender for five years, mostly in Durango. In addition to criminal defense, he has practiced civil law and criminal law in federal court.
He moved to Durango in January 1994. He was arrested that the same year in Durango for drunken driving. He received a deferred judgement and sentence.
�I made a mistake, and I accepted the responsibility for that mistake,� he said. �It�s not conduct that I condone or approve of. It�s a distant part of my past, but still part of my past.�
Herringer serves on the Durango Nature Studies board of directors and has served on other boards.
�I have a very strong commitment and love for our community,� he said. �Durango and all the counties in the 6th Judicial District are very important to me.�
Herringer described his judicial philosophy like this: �It�s important that judges strive to treat everyone with dignity and work toward getting the right results in all types of cases,� he said.
Norvell, 48, is an assistant U.S. attorney in Durango.
He was first admitted to practice law in 1991 in Texas. He also practiced in New Mexico before moving to Durango in 1997.
He worked as a deputy district attorney for the 6th Judicial District from the late 1990s to 2001. He then became a special agent with the FBI from 2001 to 2003. He returned to the District Attorney�s Office from 2003 to 2007, before becoming a federal prosecutor.
�I believe strongly in the integrity of the judicial system, and that everybody deserves to be treated with fairness and respect, and that judges should follow the law,� he said.
He added: �It�s a great opportunity for public service and to give back to the community and the legal system that I care a great deal about.�

When you hang out with someone named Scott and have so much fun that you stay up late into the night and sleep all day the next day or feel extremely tired. However, the satisfaction and fun gained from the night before makes up for the tiredness.
Partying with Scott all night was so fun! Now I'm suffering the Scott effect because I didn't get enough sleep.

OK, we will put some of that comparison data together... probably over this coming weekend. We have tried a lot of experiments with outdoor supercomputing so we should be able to drum that data up.
We looked at the Variscite 4460 SOM a while back but we don't have any particular expertise with SODIMM. Are you only using that bus for power or is there a practical limitation to how many modules you can chain up that way?
As you probably know, Alex Ramirez (or just A-Ram in Barcelona) is espousing the Tegra board for his approach to hyperdense ARM servers. The Pandaboard is about .5U because of it's unique NIC arrangement, stacked over the USB, so you have to try out some exotic geometries to get better density. The MontBlanc board appears to be less than that... I guess these are the QSeven form factor? Check out from about 1:45 onwards at...

If you have replacement windows like I do, these blinds probably will not fit inside of the window frame for mounting. I only have 3/4 depth to mount blinds. The descriptions on overstock did not give enough detail in order for me to determine if this blind would fit so I ordered 1 to see, so I must return it. Further, I did not like the color of the blind which is a very yellow ivory and not the slightly off-white that I am looking for, and I thought the blind looked inexpensive in general.
This shade was perfect for my office window. I have a plant hung in front of the window and I wanted something that would open on top and keep the bottom shaded for privacy. shade was easy to install and works great.
I just hung them so can't say how they'll work out long term. However, they look great and were pretty easy to install. Just what I needed for a street level room.
Very nice blinds at a good price. Nice color, easy to install. I had read another review that said they were cordless, which is not true. The bottum up functions with a little plastic handle type thing that snaps on but the top down functions with strings. I purchased 18 of them and they were just what I expected and less expensive than all other places I've looked and I really did my research before buying. I have no compaints at all.
First off, these are FILTERING shades not blocking or black-out shades, exactly what I was looking for. They are great for controlling the amount of bright southern California sun, which can damage the furniture that I brought from Paris (France, not Texas or Kentucky) where I lived for the past 20 years. They also provide excellent insulation in the evening and at night, which can be quite cool in San Diego. Plus you certainly can't beat the price and the fast delivery, if the size you're looking forward is available. All in all, an excellent product considering the "quality/price index", as the French would say. As for those who have found the actual ivory color 'darker' than what they saw at this website, may I humbly suggest that it is probably a function of the color setting on your computer screen/monitor rather than misrepresentation at this website. I haven't used a Windows PC for a long time, but on any Mac one can adjust the monitor color setting under Preferences to one's liking. And if I select a setting that's 'native' to my monitor, then the color at this website matches the actual color exactly. Perhaps PC users could also try to choose the correct color setting for their monitor, in order to see the color that was intended to show here? Just my 2 cents...
The blinds themselves seem well made and I like the way they function. However, the color was darker than expected - like the color of "old ivory" - and when the top and bottom are both down, the blind is fairly dark the nearer you see the bottom of the shade. Like a gradient. Also, our blinds are not even across the top, but bow slightly upward. Also - perhaps because they are ivory and not white - they are more light blocking than expected. We are going to give it a few days and then decide whether to return them or not. I would recommend the white to anyone not sure about the color.
