"So indescribably GENIUS"
There's a reason this is considered a CLASSIC. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. The writing is some of the best descriptive writing of all time. Steinbeck really puts you IN with these destitute individuals. You feel their pain, see their tears, and live their heartache. This book will not leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, BUT it will make you appreciate what you have. Narrator is outstanding.
"Genius. And I usually HATE the fantasy genre!!"
Ok, this will be quick, since there are something like five MILLION reviews of this book on here, and the odds are good that NO ONE will read this mine.
Truth is, I felt obligated to write this because I usually can't stand fantasy stories... I LOVE sci-fi, but for some reason I could just never get into an fantasy pieces, and believe me, I've tried.
This book, however, just converted me!
To say this book is "genius" for a fantasy book is an understatement. This book is genius, period. I rank it with the greatest books EVER written... EVER. I'm not kidding. It's up there with War and Peace, Ulysses, Winds of War, Lolita, and the Bible.
Sanderson's mind is capable of creating worlds and characters which I could not even conceive of being possible to create. So much depth in every little thing; from the rocks to the clothing. This guy is incredible.
Here's to hoping you never die, Mr. Sanderson. May the world be blessed with your incredible works of literary art for decades to come!
"Warning: Far-Right hit piece on Hollywood!!"
First off, this book is GREAT when it actually sticks to the content associated with its title (and synopsis on Audible). When it talks about the physiology and psychological affects of combat on our soldiers, it is top notch.
However, this book is a wolf in sheep's clothing for the far right wing. About 2/3 of the way through the book, it decides to become a hit piece against pretty much EVERYTHING that pisses off the far right wing in this country. It squarely sets its sights mostly on Hollywood.
Now, don't get me wrong, I agree there is a debate that needs to take place here, and in fact I actually agree with some of Grossman's opinions on media violence. HOWEVER, I did not get this book to be lectured on (what I consider to be) a far right wing agenda. Had I wanted a book like that, I would have PURCHASED a book like that. The author (Grossman) isn't even remotely objective about it, seemingly failing to recognize that the far right could actually be wrong about anything. He even goes so far as to give religious advice, which I found to be ridiculous, and uncalled for, especially considering the fact that his tone was preachy enough without it.
I'm not going to list point-by-poiint where Grossman is wrong, because I'm not being paid to write this review or debate him. Bottom line is, the book's title and synopsis (on Audible) is VERY misleading. This is a far-right wing propaganda piece, for a large section of it, and had I been warned of this in either the synopsis or title, I would have NEVER purchased it.
If you are a far right winger, and you're interested in this subject, this book is for you. I mean that sincerely. You will actually enjoy it quite a bit. However, if you are a free-thinking, rational minded moderate, that doesn't feel like being lectured on things like; why we should take Draconian measures in censoring our country's art, why ALL drugs should be illegal (even harmless ones like marijuana), and why YOU should believe in and worship the Christian God, then my advice is to stay as far away from this book as possible.
I feel it necessary to add this postscript - the anecdotes in his book, referring to the BRAVE men and women that serve this country's military are outstanding. This review IN NO WAY is meant to take away from or disparage the sacrifices they have made in serving our great country. I give thanks for them every day I am alive. This includes the author, who has served this country for many years. This review should only reflect the fact that I am incredibly disappointed with how misleading the title and synopsis of the book are.
"Never has someone TRIED so hard to sabotage..."
First off, the reviews praising this book, the story (content) of this book, are spot on... it's GREAT! The story takes us into a world so filled with detail and stories about life and love, that you can't help but be sucked in. The book is borderline genius, plain and simple.
Now comes the part that truly amazes me about this audiobook. The publisher/producer decided to do 2 HUGE things to sabotage the success of this audiobook...
First, between each chapter there are LOUD, annoying bird "songs". Yes, birds chirp, seemingly out of nowhere, right in your ear when you're trying to listen to WORDS. This is annoying, jolting, and pointless. It literally adds NOTHING positive to the book, and only serves to annoy the heck out of you at times when you're really invested in this amazing story.
Second, and this is the big complaint... For some unknown/unexplainable reason, the author is unaware that there are "professional readers" out there that read (perform) many of the books on Audible. She's either unaware of this fact, or worse, she actually considers HERSELF a "professional reader". In my opinion, the latter is unforgivable, if true. Trust me, she's not anywhere close to being a "professional reader". She's terrible. Her character voices are laughable. Her inflections are usually misplaced and nonsensical. It's like having a child (an untalented child) read a book to you, and it sucks. You don't want this author reading ANYTHING to you , ever.
What this supreme misstep does do, however, is show just how incredible the story of this book actually is. Even with (what I would consider) one of the worst narrators in the history of Audible, the story still remains interesting, intriguing, and unique. I loved it from start to finish, and the author deserves ALL the credit for that. If the producers ever acquire the much-needed skill of common sense, they'll hire one of the many "professional readers" out there, remake this, and it will be 5 stars across the board, hands down.
As for now, the best I can say is, if you're willing to go through a bit of torture, a great story awaits you at the end.
"Great Course. Good Narration."
I'm only writing this review because I saw where another review stated how terrible the narration is. While it's true, the professor does correct himself here and there, I found it no more irritating than any other college lecture course I've taken over the years. He's human. He makes mistakes. He corrects himself. Get over it.
The substance of the course is EXCELLENT. If you're interested in the cases that have shaped our Bill Of Rights, this is the course for you. Prof. Finn knows this subject like the back of his hand, and educates you in a clear, entertaining manner that I found to be very enjoyable.
"Every Patriotic American Should Read This!"
This book absolutely blew me away. It details the evolution of how today's "bullies with badges" came to be. Let's face it, cops are not liked by a vast majority of citizens in this country, and for VERY good reason. A high percentage of cops suffer from "little penis syndrome" (they feel the need to pick on those whom they deem weaker, in order to build themselves up in their own head), have an ax to grind with one or more segments of the population (i.e. they're racist, anti-women, anti-homeless), and/or they're just outright PSYCHOPATHS. This book does a fine job of detailing this behavior in a historical context, while integrating various political motivations.
What it only briefly touches on, however, is how to fix the system. Psychological evaluations by INDEPENDENT EXPERTS (not inter-department shills) once a week for EVERY cop on the force is a good place to start. Every cop should also be equipped with "Google Glass" type cameras that record every move, for months BEFORE they're given their badge and gun (as well as 24/7 after they become armed). Review boards of unbiased citizens, with ZERO LINK TO LAW ENFORCEMENT, should be the ones looking over the complaints received from the public, NOT internal affairs (who are just cops, themselves!!). It sickened me to learn that around only 1% of all public complaints against LAPD cops are ever truly taken seriously. That department takes "corruption" to levels that even Al Capone would be proud of.
Further, the book makes a compelling case as to why cops deserve to be punished MUCH harsher than the average citizen, if they break certain laws. Cops are given an ENORMOUS amount of power and trust in our society. They are the only armed people, roaming amongst the unarmed sheep, for 99.9% of the calls they respond to. So, if they break the public's trust, they should be severely punished, right? 60 years for each instance of officer misconduct, even for small offense, would be fine with me.
The book makes the iron-clad assertion that cops in this country need to be reigned in. I agree there are some very good cops out there... some heroes, even. But, most of the ones I've seen are power-hungry psychopaths, looking to exact vengeance on a society that never truly appreciated the magnificent "gifts" they brought to the table. There is very little, if any, oversight, when it comes to monitoring their interactions with the public. We've given them their power, and as a society we must control this monster before it's too late. Today's LAPD, for example, is becoming more and more like the Nazi Gestapo with each day that goes by. Is a Nazi-like America really what we ultimately want for our grandchildren? I think not.
"Genius on Every Level"
The reviews currently on Audible seem to be all over the place, in regards to this book, so I hope to make things clear. For what this book is, it is GENIUS.
It tells the stories of some of the "lowest men on the totem pole" in the US Army, prior to the US entering the war. You're not going to get the big battles, the big personalities (like MacArthur or Patton), or the big action. What you will get is TONS of tension and human conflict! Jones' ability to make these characters real is remarkable. The situations they find themselves in, while not the most exciting, are filled with drama.
The stakes are high in almost every scene, and the character are so fleshed out that we actually care what happens to them. The writing is some of the best I've ever read, in terms of transporting the reader into the gritty, terrible world that these men occupied on a daily basis. It wasn't pretty, but it was real.
The narrator was a mixed bag for me. Some of the time he seemed to be whispering, which was a bit odd and unnecessary. However, his different voices help the characters stand out, which is greatly needed when there are this many to keep track of.
Overall, if you enjoy WWII historical fiction, and want something that delves deeper into the human psychodrama of soldiers, instead of just the battles, this is the book for you.
"Publishers, LET US KNOW if it's a kid's book!!"
This book is for children. Well, either it's for children or VERY slow adults. Truth be told, for the young adult (early teens) market who's into military history and tech, this book is probably not so bad. However, I am an adult, and I saw no warning anywhere in the description, letting me know who this book was written for.
Where to begin with this steaming pile... The dialogue is so unimaginative and stale, it comes across like a high school kid wrote it. The plot is so utterly unrealistic that it's cringe-worthy. The author seems to be guessing as to much of the military tactics and strategy throughout. You won't care about any of the characters. None are unique, memorable, or likable.
I'm not a fan of Tom Clancy, but I've seen where other reviewers compare this guy to him. That's rubbish. This guy makes Clancy look like the greatest writer to have ever lived... and, again, I'm not a Clancy fan. This writer is just that bad.
The worst part about this book are the characters. The leaders of China and the US are retarded. I mean that literally. They come across as mentally deficient to the point of retardation. Everything from the decisions they make, to the way they speak, to the way they are constantly talking to themselves, all of it is completely retarded.
What may be worse than the retarded characters is the fact that the author "played it safe" by making some of the leaders on both sides racist. Really? Racists in the White House, and running China? Really? It would be laughable how contemptible this author considers China, if it wasn't so sad. Obviously, this clown believes more in stereotypes from the 1980's than he does in actually researching his subjects.
I could go on, but this should suffice. This book is a complete waste of time and money for any adult with an IQ over 80.
The narrator is good.
"Terribly misleading title."
First of all, if you're going to have a title like "Scary Monsters and Super Freaks", you'd better have some INCREDIBLE stories contained therein. There aren't any. Not one.
The "Super Freak" is a reference to Rick James. Ok... seriously?! I was expecting stories about all sorts of depraved, terrible individuals that committed unspeakable acts....and you give me RICK JAMES??!! That joke would ALMOST be funny, if i didn't value my time and money.
There are some good stories in here. Nothing great, and certainly nothing that lives up to that title. There's one about Rodney King which was interesting, and a few about cult figures, that I found noteworthy.
Overall, I feel incredibly misled by the title of this book. It takes every ounce of self control I have for me NOT to give this 3 stars. Based on the fact that the narrator is good, and some of the stories were actually memorable, I'm giving it 4. In truth, it's a 3.5. Had I not been misled so badly by the title, I'm sure my view of this book would've been more favorable.
"One of the BEST biographies on Audible!!"
Oppenheimer was one of the most important people in the history of mankind, when you consider how he contributed to science, and the development/harnessing of atomic energy. Talk about a world creator/destroyer; this was that guy! A genius like him comes around but once every century or so. Monk does a superb job in researching the complex life of a complex man.
It easily could've gotten bogged down in meaningless details, but never did. It held my interest throughout. If you care at all about physics, science, or the history of nuclear weapons, this is the book for you.
As far as biographies go, this is top 5 of the ones I've read. I've read over 50.
Narrator is outstanding!
"Non political BUT very anti-violence"
First off, this is a GREAT book. Very well researched, full of new information, and written in a way that will hold your attention; especially if you enjoy CIA/black ops/ SEALs stuff.
Now for the negative, and it's not really a negative, just something you should keep in mind.
This author comes across as VERY anti-targeted strikes/ anti-drones. In fairness, he does present both sides of the argument, but he presents much more of the "innocent civilian casualties" side than perhaps is necessary.
He tends to disregard the mindset of most Americans, which is "if people are hanging out with terrorists (IE in the same car with them), then they are probably people that are a threat to the US" I'm not saying I agree with this, and there are always exceptions, but it's certainly a stance that deserved more weight in the book. Let's face it, other than journalists, there aren't many "innocent" people riding around in cars in the desert with the leaders of Al Qaeda. There just aren't.
This didn't paint my enjoyment of the book, however. The author doesn't beat you over the head with one particular opinion or the other, he just simply spends a bit too much time talking to the family members of suspected terrorists. For the most part, he sets out all the facts and lets you decide. I'd give this book 5 stars, simply based on the classified information and incredible interviews that are inside. The story and narrator make it outstanding.

For now, the beach.
[Grayson behaving quite perfectly in the sand makes me want to bring the entire beach home with us. ]
I love the picture with both hands buried in the water!
They all look like they really enjoyed playing in the sand. Did you bring half the beach home with you?
We're considering a sandbox even though we're really not far from a beach with real sand. Seeing pictures of kids playing with sand always wants me want to bring some home...
But oh - the mess!

Aces square off in battle for AL Central supremacy
Against Masterson, Verlander leads Tigers in search for 10th straight
The Tigers extended their winning streak to nine games after their ninth-inning rally led to a 4-2 win on Monday. To push that streak to double digits, they'll have to top Justin Masterson for the third time this season.
In two starts against Detroit, Masterson is 0-2 with a 7.71 ERA. Masterson, however, has won three consecutive starts, allowing a combined two runs on 11 hits in 21 1/3 innings while striking out 23.
At Progressive Field, Masterson is 8-2 with a 2.54 ERA in 13 starts, though one of those losses was to the Tigers on July 5. He has been one of the many Indians pitchers who has contributed to a stretch of 15 wins in their last 21 games.
"Every single starter's been going out there since the All-Star break and doing a tremendous job," said Masterson. "The bullpen's been coming in and doing great. ... The guys are out there scoring runs, putting up what we need and playing defense. Not just myself, but everyone seems to be in a real good spot right now."
Meanwhile, Justin Verlander will take the mound for the Tigers. Despite a 5.82 ERA against the Indians this year, he has a 2-1 record. In his last start, Verlander was able to use his curveball effectively to combat some control issues with his fastball, allowing one run on four hits in six innings while striking out six and walking five.
"I felt like I had some strides forward today," Verlander said after his last start. "My curveball has been better and that's a good sign, but with some of the adjustments I've made, I lost a little bit of feel for my fastball, but that'll come."
Indians: Salazar gets the nod for Wednesday
The Indians decided to call up Danny Salazar from Triple-A Columbus to start against the Tigers on Wednesday, bringing a sense of urgency surrounding this four-game set.
"We thought it was a good time," manager Terry Francona said. "We're trying to balance Danny's innings, competitiveness, things like that, and we wanted to get to a point where we didn't have to bring Danny [up] and mess his innings up.
Salazar had a 4-2 record with a 2.73 ERA in 13 starts at Columbus. He will slide into the rotation slot formerly held by Ubaldo Jimenez, who has posted a 6.92 ERA against the Tigers this season. Jimenez will start on Friday instead.
Salazar, a right-hander, has only made one appearance in the big leagues, making a spot start against the Blue Jays on July 11. In that start, Salazar allowed one run on two hits in six innings while walking one and striking out seven.
Tigers: Infante headed for rehab
Although the Tigers lost Jhonny Peralta to a 50-game suspension, they may get one of their regular infielders back before the end of the week.
Omar Infante will play at least two rehab games at Triple-A Toledo, beginning on Tuesday. He will be the designated hitter in Tuesday's game before playing seven innings at second base on Wednesday.
"We'll see after that," Infante said.
Infante spent two games on rehab at Class A West Michigan two weeks ago, but he left after aggravating his sprained left ankle while running the bases.
Worth noting
• Torii Hunter has hit three home runs in his career against Masterson, the most Masterson has allowed to any player.
• Michael Brantley owns a .406 batting average against Verlander in 32 at-bats.

There comes a time Maniacs when a director, from our genre, ventures off and does a different project. There are times when that can be both good and bad thing. Joss Whedon is a director we all admire. We may not all agree on what his "best" project may be. However, we here at Mania cannot deny running the trailer for his next film, despite it not featuring Vampires, Space Cowboys, or even a Hulk. Check out the trailer for Joss Whedon's Much Ado About Nothing. Are you up Maniacs for a little Whedon mixed with Shakespeare?
The Plot: A modern retelling of Shakespeare's classic comedy about two pairs of lovers with different takes on romance and a way with words.
The film features Amy Acker, Nathan Fillion, Clark Gregg, Alexis Denisof, Ashley Johnson, and Fran Kranz.
Much Ado About Nothing arrives June 21st, 2013
Who the eef is this hack Shakespeare anyway!?! Dude's dialogue sounds so old and dated! The guy's probably so dumb he doesn't even know how people think let alone talk. Nobody'll ever see anything he writes!
Wes still Flirting with Fred... and clearly Andrew and Celeb are up to no good.
I hope this movie gets more than just an arthouse release. I'l like to be able to see it without having to drive an hour away.
Agreed Wyld...Much Ado has always been one of my favorites and this looks awesome!!
I am a HUGE fan of the Kenneth Branagh version of this, it's one of my all-time favorite movies, but if anyone can top that, Whedon can! Bring it on!!!
Seems like he went the same route as the did with the Romeo and Juliet movie from the 90's with keeping the dialouge of the play but setting it in modern times. I like that. I may try to see this

John Moreau has refereed at countless NCAA tournaments and Olympic trials. He has been on the court with basketball super-stars like Michael Jordan, David Thompson, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson. Coach Jimmy Valvano affectionately called Moreau "Papa John."
Over two decades ago, John Moreau came to Special Olympics to help out at a basketball event and "the rest is history."
But for John Moreau, many of these brushes with basketball greats pale when compared with experiences at Special Olympics. The Special Olypics experiences truly touched his heart. Moreau says refereeing those games has led to the most meaningful, powerful and rewarding experiences in his officiating career.
John Moreau considers himself very blessed to have both college and Special Olympics experiences and over the years there have been many memorable moments.
Over two decades ago John came to help out at a basketball event and the rest, as they say, is history. He explains, "once you get involved as a volunteer, you are hooked in a wonderful way, asking what can I do next?" Although he admits that in refereeing Special Olympics games he has to be a little more flexible and understanding, at times almost playing a role of a coach on the floor, he sure isn't ignoring traveling.
Being attentive to special needs and relating to athletes and their families isn't much of a stretch for Moreau. His own mother was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease when John was just 6. He says the experience "made me stronger, the way I look at people, whether they are challenged or not." Adding, "That's what's so wonderful about Special Olympics, it's inclusive. Families provide care giving, 24/7, they are considered the heroes."
"What most people don't realize is Special Olympics is about more than sports," he says. "It's about you, and me. It's about changing people's minds and attitudes about people with intellectual disabilities. It's about being more inclusive as a society. It's not about what people can't do, but what they can."
John considers himself very blessed to have both college and Special Olympics experiences and over the years there have been many memorable moments. He says "some of the most amazing athletes I've seen are Special Olympics athletes." He recalls the determination of one athlete who played exceptionally well with only one leg – and no prosthesis. "The athlete literally hopped during the game and was one of the main playmakers for his team during the entire competition." After the tournament concluded, through Special Olympics, several generous donors and physicians provided this athlete with a prosthesis.
John adds that Special Olympics "made me a better person." He wishes to give everyone an opportunity to get involved by coming to events and cheering. "While people with intellectual disabilities may appear different to some, we all have the same heart," Moreau noted. "It doesn't get any better than this. Come see for yourself."
What's next for John Moreau? John plans to continue his involvement with Special Olympics athletes and families and is heading to this year's Special Olympics World Summer Games in Athens to referee basketball.
Special Olympics transforms athletes' lives through the joy of sport. Help us make a difference.
Volunteering with Special Olympics is fun and very rewarding, for both the athlete and the volunteer!
Stay in touch! See inspiring stories, photos and videos in our Special Olympics newsletter.
Today, the Templeton Foundation gave its most prestigious award to my hero, Jean Vanier. For Linda and our children and me, he has also been our retreat leader, our teacher of humility, our guide.

'Long-Haul Time Again'
16 June 2011
'Long-Haul Time Again'
London – Los Angeles. Travel day.
It's long-haul time again, heading back to the West Coast, from whence I came just a week ago. The intervening time has been mostly consumed by Glastonbury things but there was also one new video piece to be finished, by 360 animator and film maker Run Wrake. It's a new piece for Miss Sarajevo, to replace the Bill Carter documentary footage that has accompanied the song until now. I enjoyed having the Bill Carter footage in the show, being from his original documentary about the surreal beauty pageant staged in the Bosnian warzone, as we haven't ever used it before. There was a feeling however that, all these years later, perhaps it was a little odd within the context of the 360 show, to be so specific about locating the song in such a particular time and place. I had a conversation with Bono about it just a couple of weeks back and it was one of those times when a new idea just presents itself in a very complete form (I love those days). I can't quite remember now how we hit upon the thought of children's drawings (a knock-on effect of watching too much of the Tellytubbies, perhaps) but the notion appeared of starting the piece with kid's drawings of beauty queens and fairies, that gradually turn into kid's drawings of war atrocities. There are quite a few resources of children's drawings of war, going back many years. They're tough to look at of course, but there is something fascinating (is that the right word? humbling, even) to see how children draw everything with the same, neutral perspective. Some of the war images were from Darfur or elsewhere, but there's at least one from Sarajevo. It makes for a very powerful piece beginning, apparently, with a rather cute and sentimental take on the song lyrics. That alone, in a U2 show, would be enough to make the viewer suspicious, but by the time the naively rendered fighter helicopters arrive, your stomach drops a little as you realise what's about to happen. (Honestly, you just can't have anything nice, can you?)
That was my week in Britain, and today I'm back on yet another flight. I went through my regular routine though when I was settled into my usual seat upstairs, waiting for departure, I had a visit from the pilot. "Mr Williams?" he said, "Very good to have you on board today, I'd just like to extend our thanks for your continued custom…." It was a nice gesture but when the pilot is sent out to greet you, you know the moment is approaching when you should think about spending a little more time at home.
I attempted a couple of movies, though having done so many flights of late I'm beginning to run low on options. Had a go at Killing Bono which wasn't, perhaps, as much of a dog as I'd been led to believe (and if Neil McCormick was punched as many times in real life as his character was in the film, then perhaps the world is not as unjust a place as one might suppose.) It was funny to see the schoolboy U2 story and then recognise the point at which I came in. God, it's been a long time. I tried a Wynnona Rider film to follow (we like her) but couldn't stay with it, so read for a while (re-reading Andrew Smith's Moon Dust).
LAX, Los Angeles International Airport, was a complete zoo. I stood for a full 90 minutes in the immigration queue, making it the longest line of the tour to date (eclipsing the hour or so it took us to get out of Brazil). The combination of grim officiousness and superficial over-politeness is a complete head-wreck after a long flight. It's such an anomaly too, here in the land of ultimate customer service efficiency. I always stand in the line, feeling the tense, unease in the air, the hours wasted, the vast inconvenience, and can't help but think that this, right here, is the terrorists' victory.
I did eventually escape and made it to the Hotel Fabulous before falling in a heap. There's some kind of big hair event going on, so the place was awash with leggy models and men with ponytails. Perfect end to a perfect day, really.

Edmonds entrepreneur sells sustainable furniture, planters
It lights up, stores water and is indestructible — unless you're hellbent on destroying it.
The plastic pots, made of recycled milk jugs, are among the many items that will be featured at the Northwest Flower & Garden Show in Seattle. Designed by Edmonds entrepreneur Hanz Lammersdorf, the planters cost $90 to $900 and come in 10 colors, from Seattle Gray to Citrus Yellow.
Some are big enough to bathe in, even if you're not a plant.
Inside is a reservoir and a removable wick made of felt. A dipstick measures the water level.
"The plant drinks what it wants when it wants. Through Mother Nature capillary action it pulls up the water as it needs it," Lammersdorf said. "You never have to worry about your plant."
His company, KuL Designs, also makes products to use as tables, bars and stools that, like the planters, can be illuminated by solar, standard bulb or LED lighting.
It's like big Fisher Price playthings for adults.
The market ranges from patios to party houses. "We shipped some to Italy for cruise ships," he said. "Some celebrities have bought them. A lot of hotels and restaurants."
A Canadian manufacturer molds the recycled plastic into shape. Lammersdorf and three workers assemble and ship the products from a small workshop compound on a residential street off Highway 99. It housed a cabinet workshop before he bought it in 2000.
Lammersdorf, 57, started making planters in 2008 after returning to Washington from four years in Ukraine, where he got married and remodeled several bland Soviet apartment blocks.
He isn't the type of guy to be pinned down to one product.
He made cedar waterbeds in the late 1970s; plastic mannequin torso forms in the '80s; and caffeine-infused "Turbo Truffles" in the '90s.
He still sells the torso forms, but not as many.
"The competition from China has been brutal," he said.
He also keeps a finger in the truffle business.
His first batch of planters were a flop.
"I started with concrete. They were too heavy to move around and weren't water-saving," he said. "I never sold one of them."
Recycled plastic was the perfect fit for his goal of modern, functional and sustainable pots.
The planters are easy to move around when drained.
"They hold an average of 11 gallons of water," he said.
Outdoor models have an overflow valve.
Most of his sales are online.
"People will buy sight unseen on a website from a picture," he said. "Don't you find that strange? I'm a touchy-feely guy. I'd never buy a big planter online."
You don't have to go to the garden show to touch and feel one.
"Molbak's will be carrying it soon," he said. "After the show, they are going to give me a little section there."
The planters have a lifetime guarantee.
"I sold 30 to the city of London, Ontario, for their downtown streets," he said. "Somebody took a hockey stick to one in front of the hockey stadium and whacked it pretty good and cracked it. Other than that I haven't had any problems."

Top Definition
A progmantic is someone who is a romantic at heart but has a realistic view of love and goes about finding it in a pragmantic way, aware that fairytale romances are not readily available these days.
I'm a modern-day Sleeping Beauty, I don't believe Prince Charming will bring me back to life with a kiss (unless he's a first-aid worker); and in my experience the prince turns into a toad when you kiss him rather than the other way around. My idea of being good in bed isn't lying in bed for a hundred years waiting for Prince Charming to ride up on a white horse but I'll be happy if he turns up tomorrow in a convertible with red roses, chocolate and gorgeous stilettoes to take me out to dinner!
I'm a progmantic.

I checked the North end of VaBch this morning at sunrise. There was actually better surf last evening at waist to chest high. The swell has not started quite yet, but hang in there.
Swell's here. It was here last night...... just choppy with the winds and jumbled up w/ that pesky little S wind swell that I would love to surf anytime it's not mixed w/ long period groundswell. Was definitely waist-chest+ last night, just doubled up funky stuff. I only got a handful of crappy rides. Come on big swell! Chill out winds!
Last night wasn't Bill.....those waves are just wind slop from T storms.....Long period swell should start this afternoon. You will know when the long period sh1t gets here.

The Ups and Downs of Using Overlaminates
Overlaminates are becoming more and more widely used to protect images printed on a variety of substrates. Among those overlaminates are architectural finishes that add new life to signs and graphics that once had to stand on their own. Contrary to popular belief, overlaminates can be used on more products than ever, in new ways that one would not consider even a few short years ago. However, there are many PSPs that must learn to adapt the work to accommodate the use of overlaminates, particularly if a graphic requires a great deal of ink. High ink coverage can pose issues with overlaminates if the ink is solvent-based as it can cause delamination and other issues with the materials.
Jeff Stadelman, technical marketing manager of MACtac Graphic Products said that PSPs must be aware of how a piece is dried before lamination to prevent various issues.
"You don't change the way you laminate them but you certainly change the way you dry them. If the inks are dried properly, lamination doesn't make a big difference," said Stadelman. "They start oversaturating it [the printed piece], and a lot of negative things can happen."
Paul Roba technical manager, Avery Dennison North America for the Graphics and Reflective Solutions division, said, "High ink coverage has to be under the limits as described by the manufacturer, which typically is a 240 to 260 percent ink limit."
Roba went on to say that the solvent in the ink can also cause the delamination of the product.
How does a PSP prepare a printed piece with high ink coverage for lamination? The answer is allowing for ample drying time.
Rick Nerenhausen of Lexjet stated that the amount of ink should not affect the way a product is laminated if the process is handled correctly.
"If a print material is properly profiled, high ink coverage shouldn't change how you produce laminated graphics," said Nerenhausen. "Wait 24 hours for the print to dry before you laminate, and then 24 hours to trim a pressure-sensitive laminate to let the adhesive cure for a solid bond. You can trim a thermal laminate once it cools off, usually just a few minutes after you laminate."
Manufacturers of overlaminates echo Nerenhausen's opinion. If laminating products with high levels of ink coverage, the key is to allow ample drying time before applying the laminate.
Roba said, "If you do get up to those higher levels you really have to ensure that you allow the graphics to cure for 24 hours by loosening the roll on end and allowing some air circulation. It's all about the evacuation of the solvent from the media. If you don't evacuate the solvent efficiently, the solvent will soften the vinyl; it will migrate through to the adhesive and cause the adhesive to become overly aggressive or, in some instances, it can cause the adhesive to fail prematurely."
Stedelman added, "Make sure they have adequate dry time, which is 48 hours, open to the air so all that solvent gets out of there before they laminate or they are going to have a failed graphic."
Judy Bellah of Clear Focus Imaging said, "One of the most common issues we see is not allowing enough time for the inks to dry and outgas before applying the overlaminate to the print. Graphics printed with high ink coverage using solvent-based inks, may require extra time to ensure adequate drying and outgassing."
Exploring UV Protection
One of the benefits of using an overlaminate is to provide UV protection to the finished product. However, there seems to be some discrepancy between manufacturers and end users as to what UV protection really means.
Paul Roba said, "UV protection is the ability of a laminate to absorb some of the negative spectral output caused by the sun's UV rays. Just as you get damage to your skin you get damage to your graphics and premature fading to your pigment in your inks.
"Many laminates will have UV absorbers which will dissipate those—that harmful exposure of those UV rays. Some people mistakenly call them UV inhibitors, but a UV inhibitor is typically an opaque pigment that will reflect back the light as opposed to something that's clear and will dissipate those harmful UV rays. Laminates do not have UV inhibitors, they have UV absorbers.
"UV inhibitors in laminates provide some additional protection from the degrading effects of light and sun, but not substantial protection; they act more like a sunscreen than a sun block," said Nerenhausen. "The real value of lamination is that it provides rigidity, scratch resistance, a textured surface, and protection from ozone and other pollutants."
Stadelman said, "To many manufacturers it's adding materials to the films to make them last longer outdoors. To MACtac, it's a little bit different. We don't just make the films last a long time outdoors, we add a lot of other UV products to our formulas—whether it's to the film or to the adhesive that's there—to also protect the image; to protect the ink. We've got UV filters or absorbers built in to protect the ink itself."
Matching Materials to the Job
With the wide variety of substrates available, it may not always be easy to choose the correct materials for the job. This can create a number of problems including delamination, failure of the adhesive, and irreparable damage to the final product. Experts claim that the best way to ensure the proper matching of materials to substrates comes through knowledge of the product including the end use plus a strong relationship to the client as well as the vendor.
Stadelman said, "Everything gets an enormous amount of R&D before we ever release it to the market. Typically, a rule of thumb is to try to match media to laminate film. So vinyl goes with vinyl, polyester goes with polyester, etc. I know that's not always possible. For 80 percent of the applications out there, that is the right way to go. Sometimes, though, you need to put polycarbonate to vinyl. When we design our adhesives and our films we make sure that we not only have the right face stock but also an adhesive that helps maintain the same coefficient of expansion and contraction and shrinkage, if possible, so that one doesn't shrink more than the other. Our adhesives are designed to help the media not change dimensionally; to not create failure in the field."
Tony Caruso, Eastern region sales manager of Advanced Greig Laminators Inc. said, "Having a lam that matches the media is important. You can add lam to ink to increase the level of moisture—proof you still need lam to protect the image.
"When people think of laminate they think of plastic, but laminate comes in a variety of materials—hot and cold. Having the right lam is vital to the application. It's important to try to match the laminate with the media."
Caruso goes on to say that AGL is different from its competitors because it uses a different system and way of matching overlaminates to various materials. "We have a match component system that allows us to match the quality of media and laminate. Low melt for the inkjet market, high melt for the offset market. We also add the match component system to our packaging. Our charts show media and description and then match it to the corresponding material."
Bellah said, "Different overlaminates offer varying degrees of optical clarity, conformability, UV protection, chemical resistance, and durability, so matching the material to the job is essential. Both of our overlaminates have a clear, pressure-sensitive adhesive and are applied without heat, are optically clear, and are designed to perform well with our perforated window graphics films. They have important differences, however."
For example, Clear Focus offers two main products that have specific uses and criteria. ClearLam is a 1.5-mil polyester film designed for use on flat surfaces only—e.g., retail store window graphics. It offers UV protection and mark/scuff resistance. CurvaLam is a 2-mil cast PVC film made of high-quality, 100 percent polymeric face stock. CurvaLam mates well with our perforated window films, which are also made of PVC. It's more conformable than ClearLam, which allows it to be used on items that have moderate curves.
When it comes to developing a relationship with a vendor, Caruso states the importance of working with someone with knowledge of the products and processes. Unlike catalog companies, AGL is able to offer expert advice.
Caruso says, "This is where AGL stands out. We are not a catalog. We're much more hands on as a company. It's where we excel."
Caruso continues, "There are many systems out there. They are so diverse. It's not about just choosing colors, profiles, etc. Now it's about understanding the process.
Pricing Overlaminates
Pricing overlaminates poses the same problem for PSPs as pricing any other finishing job. It is even more difficult if the PSP is not accustomed to using overlaminates or is somewhat uneducated regarding the process. Clearly, pricing is an important part of any job and a PSP has a large number of factors to consider before creating that final invoice.
Nerenhausen said, "Pricing is tricky, because it's dependent on the local market and what that market will bear as well as your business model and whether it's more custom or more production oriented. Still, some basic concepts hold true. Calculate all the items you use to get the job done—ink, material, time, overhead, and anything else that goes into production. With that as a baseline, you can determine what profit margin you can add to fit your market and the value of your product. The profit margin for someone mass-producing billboards will be different than a custom, color-critical print shop, and pricing will vary considerably coast-to-coast."
Roba also pointed out that PSPs must be aware of their own processes. "They have to take into account the limitations and capabilities that they have. And then they have to take into account the time that goes in for set up, the time it takes to actually run the job, scrap, and then additional finishing of that and how long it's going to take, based on the size... It's taking into account all of the variables and factors you have in your printing process."
PSPs must also consider amortization on equipment, overhead, and other factors that should go into the pricing of any job.
Caruso said pricing can be difficult for some because of the cost of materials which is not a fixed price. PSPs must also ensure that they are buying the right materials, not just focusing on cost.
"The market is regionalized and there are price fluctuations so it's hard to put numbers down," stated Caruso. "It's important to find the right company to partner with. Buying the right tool for the right job is paramount to the process."
"Finishing should be viewed as an essential value added service. It's something that gives you a leg up against your competitors," said Stadelman. "Laminating and finishing should be a value add, it should be an upsell for them. It should be a way for them to add to their bottom line for a quality product. Again, it's how they separate themselves from their competitors."
Stadelman adds: "Pick the right product for the job and price it that way. You get what you pay for. It goes along that way."
As with any material or service, there are noticeable trends. "It seems with laminates it's kind of come to a plateau in that there are some specialty laminates, but the drawback with laminates that create special effects is that the special effects are created over the entire graphic as opposed to localized special effects which most people would want. That's more of a limiting factor. So those, I don't think, have gotten the wide acceptance in the market as many people would have thought.
Roba continued: "There is a trend as far as laminates for paint replacement films. The laminate is actually incorporated into the manufacture of the film eliminating a step for labor and time at the converter and/or the applicator. It's not actually a lamination; it's an incorporation of the two products being fused together."
According to Stadelman, "Architectural finishes are really big right now. There's a lot of unique product, again it goes to that unique media thing, but also in the look of the finished product I think there's a lot of exciting laminate opportunities showing up on the market with more to come.

(Ningyō Sapo) - Doll Fatality
Type: Puppetry, Taijutsu, Kenjutsu
Background: The art of Doll Fatality was created by a man whose name is unknown. He had developed a new type of puppet which he would've called a "doll". The purpose of the doll is to allow much more flexible movements within the doll, using a different build which allows the user to be much more flexible rather than rigid.
Description on the Abilities and Inner Workings of the Style:The main ability of Doll Fatality is the usage of the flexibility of puppets and using that to it's best ability. The style gives the advantage of cutting off a puppet's chakra strings in order to use certain moves such as rapid flailing of arms. While one wouldn't be able to control the puppet without the chakra strings, they're able to use force, velocity and momentum to achieve the moves wanted using this technique. For example, launching a puppet with proper trajectory and speed while letting it go at the right time to use it as a projectile. Another use may be rapidly pulling back a puppet's arm and letting it go to use momentum for it to be a flailing weapon of sorts. It's moreso an advanced style of puppetry which also utilizes Taijutsu and Kenjutsu, due to the physical blows of puppets.
Examples of techniques and how it could be used:
Additional Effects: The user of the style becomes more flexible with puppets, enabling faster control over them. The technique also practices a lot of flowing movements using the chakra strings, so using the style, a higher transition rate between the techniques and other movements such as hand seals is achieved.
Restrictions: Using the style requires full concentration over puppets, and a synchronization with one's puppet. Unless the user is Kankuro, Sasori or Chiyo (in which they can use Karasu, Sasori's Parents etc.), the puppet must belong to one's self (custom). Also the user must have a mastery over puppetry to use this style. Additionally, this can only be used with puppets which are outside of the user, so it cannot be used with puppets which are used like armor, or if someone turned themself into a puppet, such as Hiruko and Sasori as himself.
Video to further explain momentum and the style I wish to aim for.
±± Declined ±± Don't resubmit. Sorry, but you continue to think that you can continue to control your puppet once you release the strings as its shown in your first example of use.
This is simply you ramming your puppets at your opponents as projectiles by trowing them and releasing their strings. I gave you many chances to work it and keep it worked out so that you could make this approvable. IT had some potential but not that much. Sorry, DNR.
