Okay, so last episode we had major, major reveals. But the finale? Even-freaking-more! They've totally set up a whole new season with new relationships, drama, and R.J.'s ever-busy pecker!
For the full low-down, watch it here, then read on for the full debrief of The Hard Times of R.J. Berger.
An unlikely friendship, a new mortal enemy, and a bundle of trouble are just some of the big reveals R.J. shot out on the finale of Hard Times.
Jeriba's going to propose to Momma Berger. It's a good thing he was cocky enough to tell "son" R.J…..'cause R.J. ran straight to Daddy Berger for reinforcements.
After getting the beat-down from Jeriba, R.J. reminds his dad to use his strengths. He's an English teacher. Knowing what he's got to do…Daddy interrupts Jeriba's proposal with a dirty poem he wrote for his wife after their first date.
Jeriba, defeated, swore he'd make the next year of R.J.'s life miserable as hell. R.J. didn't miss a beat and said he could live with that.
I wonder if he'll be able to live with the memory of his parents have sex right behind him after he got them back together. NASTINESS!
The day to place votes for Mr. and Mrs. Pinkerton arrived, and R.J. and Jenny both have their secret plans to win.
But R.J.'s win isn't the title. It's Amy. As he makes his speech, he tells the entire school how much she means to him. And that's all it took. If only Amy had listened to him all the other times he tried to tell her.
Jenny's plan is even sweeter. She got Robin pissed and bitching about all the losers at Pinkerton High…and played the conversation after Robin and Max won Mr. and Mrs. Pinkerton.
With the entire school in an uproar, Jenny and R.J. were named Mr. and Mrs. Pinkerton 2011.
Max, always ready to beat the living snot out of R.J…put his fists down when R.J. revealed he knew his little secret. After R.J. won, Max thanked R.J. for not using his secret to win. He did enforce he'll always be R.J.'s bully, and R.J. wouldn't have it any other way.
The unlikely friendship? Max and R.J. The new mortal enemy? Jeriba Sinclair. The bundle of trouble?
Lily was missing all the take-down action during R.J. and Jenny's win. After wondering where the hell she was, she had to break the news to Hamilton, R.J. and Amy.
She's pregnant. And it's R.J.'s.
Now who saw that one coming?
What's next for R.J. and the gang? You tell me what you want to see in Season 3!
Don't Miss Any Of R.J.'s Hard Times:
Episode 10: Sweet SEXteen! Booyah!
Episode 9: R.J.'s Having The Ride Of His Life
Episode 8: R.J.'s Other Brown Knight (and that's not racist)
Episode 6: All Good Things Come to an End

Hondo>03-09-11.Thread 600 "Tangled with charley"
You hit the nail on the head, Diablo. Slim keeps repeating all the lies and fallacies about West Virginia that larry wilson has spewed over the years: Crooked voting, KKK is everywhere, West Virginians are illiterate, ignorant trailer trash. Real West Virginians do not spread lies about our own state.
I can guarantee you that Slim is not from West Virginia. He googled a few facts to look legit.
Notice how your description on larry led to him attacking you. He's definitely the johnny d. character who is either lww, casual observer,or one of larry's other cronies.
One more quip about how we vote twice and the Klan is everywhere in the state and I'm ignoring him. Permanently!
May God bless all of you.
It's comments like this that make me seriously doubt that you were a teacher and now a sunday school teacher.
My guess is that you really did have an affair with your house keeper as you did post it.
My guess is that you and beelzebub,clootie,succubus and hondu are all the same person.
Jesus loves you.
Hondo>03-09-11.Thread 600 "Tangled with charley"
You can just read on the internet about people voting extra times. It happens regular. And anyone that says there aint no klan in west virginia cant be taken seriously.
Down here we vote demcrat and the only reason Obama lost here is because of racist hillbillys. I talk to these people every day
Buddy you are as crazy as an outhouse mouse. I lve west virginia but i aint about to lie for nobody. Lets be serious because anyone who as ever been here cant honestly say that they aint klan and rednecked hillbillys here. The record speaks for itself. This is a demcrat state and as been for my whole life but Obama didnt win a single county. Not one even though we have demicrats for govrnor and both senators are demcrats but Obama cant win one single county. If it aint because of racists hillbillys then what is it. Even lots of klan support Obama. Hw do you explain this.

Pirates to keep nursing division lead at Petco
Bucs aim to back Burnett against Padres' improved Ross
The Pirates won for just the third time in their last 10 games Monday to maintain a one-game lead over St. Louis in the National League Central.
And if Pittsburgh wants to stay in first place, the Pirates will have to take advantage of the NL West's fourth-place team while the Cardinals are trying to do the same against NL Central cellar dweller Milwaukee.
The Pirates and Padres continue their three-game series at Petco Park on Tuesday night, when Pittsburgh sends right-hander A.J. Burnett to the mound as the Pirates look to win consecutive games for the first time since a five-game winning streak from Aug. 3-8.
Burnett has not received much run support this season. Though Pittsburgh's offense has finally helped him of late, he squandered leads of 3-1 and 4-0 in his previous two starts while allowing 10 earned runs on 16 hits in that span.
"You can't let a team come back like that," Burnett said after his most recent start, against St. Louis. "As good as these guys are, it doesn't matter ... you got to put your foot down at some point."
The Pirates and the hot-hitting Andrew McCutchen -- who has tallied at least two hits in six of his last eight games -- face the Padres' best pitcher of late in right-hander Tyson Ross. Since rejoining the rotation in July, Ross has gone 3-1 with a 1.32 ERA and a .149 average against in five starts.
He has been especially dominant at home this year, sporting a 1.97 ERA at Petco Park compared with a 3.06 mark on the road.
Ross got a firsthand look at the Pirates in Monday's loss, closely watching Andrew Cashner in the series opener. The two righties are similar, so Ross said he usually builds his game plan around what does or does not work for Cashner.
"It gives me an opportunity to watch a similar pitcher to myself the day before me," Ross said. "It's a rare opportunity -- to have an advanced scouting report like that."
Pirates: Leading off
Outfielder Starling Marte has scored a Major League-leading 79 runs from the leadoff spot, the most by a Pirate since Al Martin scored 94 in 1999. Marte also leads all NL leadoff hitters with 133 hits.
• McCutchen is hitting .431 with four doubles, two home runs and 10 RBIs this month. His next homer will be the 100th of his career.
Padres: Pittsburgh providing model
Like the Pirates, San Diego is a small-market team. But the Pirates -- like many before them -- are proving that small-market clubs can be successful on the field without spending a lot of money off it. Their gradual success has caught the eye of Padres manager Bud Black, who hopes his club can follow suit.
"They've done a nice job in a lot of areas to put this group together here," Black said. "Last year, they got closer with a great first half. The second half didn't quite go their way, but there's no doubt that a lot of us in smaller markets are trying to do those things."
• Black said Monday that outfielder Carlos Quentin (strained right knee) had a 50-50 chance of returning this season.
• Will Venable went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts Monday to end his Major League-leading hitting streak at 15 games.
Worth noting
• Monday was the first meeting between the Padres and the Pirates at Petco Park since a San Diego sweep almost one year ago (Aug. 20-22).
• Pirates second baseman Neil Walker is hitting .339 in his last 14 games.

Cobbled-together Yankees send CC vs. Cobb
Injury-riddled lineup stifled by Rays righty in previous meeting
The biggest constant for the Yankees lineup this season has been its seemingly constant state of flux.
Roster shuffling is becoming the norm for New York, which on Saturday placed Curtis Granderson on the 15-day disabled list, recalled his presumed replacement -- Brennan Boesch -- from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and claimed reliever David Huff off waivers from the Indians.
"I think you roll with the punches because you have to," manager Joe Girardi said. "I think the feelings that we have right now, there's a sadness for Curtis. It's a big year for him. He's a big player for our lineup. And there's a sadness that he's going through it again. We understand it, and we know how to deal with it, but you feel bad for a guy with what he's had to go through."
The New York lineup, cobbled together in the absence of several of its big names, will have a shot at redemption Sunday against Alex Cobb.
The Rays starter handcuffed the Yanks for 8 1/3 innings in his first start against them this season, when he took a shutout into the ninth inning. Cobb held the Yankees scoreless and allowed just three hits before giving way to the bullpen. He struck out seven and walked only one batter against a lineup lacking familiar names from years past such as Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira and Granderson.
But Cobb says the lineup shuffling hasn't altered the way he'll prepare for Sunday's start opposite CC Sabathia.
"No, you don't look at it per team. You look at it per outing. That's how you have to prepare," Cobb said. "I've faced these guys relatively recently, so it's not too much of an adjustment. Kind of go back and look at the game. See how I attacked them. In the past, if they made adjustments, then I'll have to make adjustments in the early innings to combat that. Right now, I'll go in with a game plan that I've had in the past and see how it works."
Cobb will have another seamless transition when he sees the Yankees' best hitter -- Robinson Cano -- in the No. 2 spot in the order. Cobb, whose last start came Tuesday in Toronto, saw Jose Bautista bat second for the Blue Jays.
"It's interesting, because I feel like in these situations, they're giving their best hitters more at-bats. Especially against the starter. It does make it tougher for us," Cobb said. "But going into the game, it doesn't make a difference."
Yankees: Boesch recalled to replace injured Granderson
• Boesch will get an opportunity to turn adversity into some playing time.
Boesch was tapped because Girardi said he wanted a veteran left-handed hitter to replace the lefty Granderson, who broke his left pinky and will be out at least four weeks.
"He's been here, he's got a lot of experience and we lost a left-handed hitter, so we replaced him with a left-handed hitter," Girardi said. "He didn't get to play a ton when he was up here [earlier], but we saw some good things."
New York on Friday began a stretch of its schedule in which it plays 17 consecutive days, so Boesch will likely get some looks.
"I can't run our outfielders out there every day, so he's going to play some, yeah," Girardi said.
Rays: Off-day allows for juggled rotation
• Rays manager Joe Maddon had the luxury of mixing his pitching staff around against the Yankees.
He took advantage of an off-day Thursday to move Cobb up to start opposite Sabathia in the series finale.
Sunday's game normally would have been David Price's turn, but he's on the 15-day DL with a strained triceps muscle. With Price out, Maddon moved Cobb's start up a day.
Rookie Jake Odorizzi, slated to fill in for Price, switched places with Cobb and will instead pitch Monday against the Marlins.
Worth noting
• Yankees relief pitcher Joba Chamberlain may have made his last rehab appearance before being reactivated from the 15-day DL, Girardi said. Chamberlain, who has been on the shelf with a mild oblique strain, threw two innings in an extended spring training game Saturday.
• Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda threw a bullpen session Saturday and felt good afterward, Girardi said.
• Evan Longoria has great career numbers against Sabathia. In 53 career plate appearances, the Rays third baseman is hitting .366 with five home runs. His career on-base percentage against Sabathia is .509, and he's slugging .805.

Some girls show up for a facial scene thinking that it's an easy time for them to give a passive porn performance. We don't mind a submissive girl giving herself to her costar, and we know you don't mind that either, but nobody wants a girl who lays there thinking all the action is going to cum to her. Eugenia is not that way at all. Long before the load gets leaked out all over her face, she is already four fingers deep into her own pussy and begging her man to use his whole hand on her holes as well. In porn videos, just like any other line of work... it's always nice to find a true self-starter to make the project reach its full potential!

New treatment plant is up and running
Alicia Knadler Indian Valley Editor 9/8/2010The new membrane filtration system for Greenville domestic water is up and running. The work it took to get it that way was featured last month in the California Water Journal, a publication by the California Rural Water Association.
The article begins with a short history of the drinking water supply, created in 1865, with construction of the first manmade lake in Plumas County.
Association author John Wendele quoted Indian Valley Community Services District General Manager Leanna Moore and others extensively. They explained the renovation for the author.
Moore described how the old plant was not compliant with state standards, and how boil water notices were not uncommon.
Wendele also described the long and convoluted path to fund the project, from state and federal sources, since Greenville was classified as a disadvantaged community and the district did not have enough in reserves to solve the problem.
"Our congratulations go out to the board of directors and staff of the Indian Valley Community Services District," he wrote. "Their persistence and dogged determination were key to the success of the project."
During its August meeting district directors spoke of organizing a tour of the new treatment plant.
Barring special meetings, directors of the Indian Valley Community Services District meet the second Wednesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. in the Indian Valley Civic Center, 430 Main St. in Greenville.

Roche, Kimmel Earn USATF 10K Trail Titles
Both won their first title at North Carolina's Continental Divide Trail Race Saturday
Photo by Shannon Johnstone
David Roche and Megan Kimmel came away from the Continental Divide Trail Race Saturday with more than just another win – they both left Laurel Springs, North Carolina, as newly-crowned USA Track & Field (USATF) 10K Trail Champions.
North Carolinians swept the top three spots in the men's race. Roche, of Durham, covered the course in his home state in 41:20, beating 2010 USATF 10K Trail Champion Bobby Mack, of Raleigh, by nearly one minute, 21 seconds. Duncan Hoge, of Chapel Hill, finished third in 44:07.
"With a runner like [Mack], you can't let him take it out because he'll take advantage of that. I tried to start out the race and make everyone make a choice about whether or not they wanted to go right off the bat," says Roche, who blazed through the opening miles before allowing Mack to lead up a hard climb. "I waited until right before the top and started a sprint, which might not have been the best idea, but it allowed me to open up a small gap coming off the climb."
After the first half, the cours rolls through open fields and wide fire roads, before turning to tight singletrack, where competitors cannot see far in front of them. At that point, Roche's lead may as well have been a mile. "With trails like that it's 'out of sight, out of mind,'" he says. "The little lead I had going in was enough to keep expanding."
Complete results from the men's race can be found here.
On the women's side, Silverton, Colorado's Megan Kimmel won the race by over a minute, finishing in 48:21. Runner up Amber Moran of Arden, North Carolina, finished in 49:35, well ahead of Morgantown, West Virginia's Maria Dalzot, who finished third in 52:58.
"One never knows who is going to show up for these races, though they do seem to draw the elite track- and road-based crowd a bit more than the average trail race," says Kimmel. "Because of this, I had no idea how it would unfold. ... I was really just hoping for top three."
Of course, she was quite happy to dominate the event. ...
"I decided to leave it up to the beginning of the race to create a strategy," she says. "Right off the gun I found myself in front at an agreeable pace and I just went with it and didn't look back."
Complete women's results can be found here.

Great purchase. Blinds were easy to install and look great. We love the top/down feature which allows for privacy and lighting. I bought these for my primary residence and then purchase more for our vacation home. They have an expensive look, without the price. I compared with other top/down cellular shade prices and these were significantly cheaper!!
This order was a reorder of shades purchased in July...that alone should indicate how pleased I am with the purchase. These top down, bottom up cellular shades are a good quality for the price paid. Any other website for this type of cellular shade would charge far more for the item so I know I got a good bargain at Overstock on this! They were easy enough to install and I really like the ability to adjust the shades up or down to hide a view or adjust privacy. Thanks Overstock!
We were looking for drop down honeycomb blinds for 5 windows up at our cabin for a decent price... didn't want to have to special order and pay those prices. These blinds fit the bill. Decent enough quality, they are thinner and not going to cut out the light, but that wasn't what I was expecting or looking for. We did have one get stuck within the first couple of days of use... my husband had to pull it down and monkey around with the workings, hopefully we won't have a problem with it again. They look good enough and were a great price for drop down blinds.
Gives me as little or as much privacy as I want and very easy to operate!

Searles: Actual numbers remain steady
Coyote sightings have been on the rise in Mammoth, but local Wildlife Specialist Steve Searles said the population is healthy, and their presence is of no threat whatsoever.
"Wotta week!" Fido said.
"Yes, it sure was. You must be exhausted, Old Sport."
"That's OK, because I'm a dog, and even when we're exhausted, if there is still a little bit of fuel in the tank, we can keep on going."
"Well put. Humans aren't quite like that, and the older they get, well, you know. Did you have a favorite part?"
Fido showed no hesitation. He wagged his stump.
"Foolsday was my favorite part!"
"That's quite a get-up," I said to Fido. "What's up with the beads?"
"Let's dance!"
Fido got up on his hind legs and did a little jig.
"Is that really a jig?"
"Heck no! It's a Fido-doh. A dance just for me-me-me."
"Something tells me a cup of coffee would be a good thing right about now."
Review: 'The Miracle Worker'
Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre's production of William Gibson's contemporary classic, "The Miracle Worker" opened this weekend at The Edison Theater.
Directed by Juliana Olinka, the post-Civil War drama portrays the story of Annie Sullivan's (Madeline Roy) first month as a teacher and governess to blind and deaf Helen Keller (played by seventh-grader Melanie Moyer).
Mammoth residents can look forward to an exciting February at the Edison Theatre when the Mammoth Lakes Repertory Theatre opens "The Miracle Worker."
"Six more weeks!" Fido said.
"Whatcha makin' up there?" Fido wanted to know.
The Beeg Boy lay underfoot, as is usual when I'm in the kitchen. He's always interested in what is on the chopping block.
"I'm chopping stuff for tonight's dinner party."
"A DINNER PARTY? Hey hey hey hey! I love-love-love dinner parties!"
"Me too, Fido. A great dinner for others is a gift—an act of love. Chef Marc says that, and I totally agree with him."
In the wake of what could have been a devastating blow to the small community of June Lake, creativity spurred of necessity could be an unexpected boon.
With June Mountain closed this year, the owners of Double Eagle Resort and Spa decided to groom cross country ski track on their ranch property across the street from the spa—adding one more reason to visit June Lake.
I have lived many places on the Eastside for the past several years, but this year I decided to move to June Lake, mainly for the winter recreation opportunities.
Art meets conservation in the eastern Sierra
The Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep has the unique distinction of being the only endangered bighorn subspecies of three in the United States.
The population dropped to 100 individuals in the 1990s, but has since rebounded, and hit 500 individuals in 2012, spurring optimism for the continued growth and recovery of this rare and unique megafauna.
His pseudonym is Late Night Billy, he works late at night and the beneficiaries of his labor are late-night music aficionados in Mammoth.
A promoter out of South Lake Tahoe, Billy brought Mickey Avalon to town in December, and "Late Night Productions" was in town again last weekend with "The Long Beach Invasion Tour."
The headliner for the event was Sublime LBC, a cover band that included former bassist, Q-ball, of the original group.
"King me!" Fido yowled.
"Go ahead and King me!"
"Fido, what in the world…?"
"OK, then let's give the cat a ride around the house. He can just climb right up on my back if he wants to, and I'll take him anywhere he wants to go. The sky's the limit."
"Fido, what's going on?"
"It's King Weekend, in case you forgot, and I'm all fired up and ready to go!"
"Hey hey hey hey!" Fido yelled over his shoulder. "I am really like-like-LIKING this guy!"
Fido got a big goofy grin on his face.
"We've been talking! He likes the same things I do!"
"Wow that's good to hear, Big Boy. You never know how a cat is going to fit in."
"He'll be just GREAT!" Fido said. He nuzzled the cat and whispered something in the cat's ear.
Mountaineer is back from the Eastern Karakoram
Back from perhaps his most important expedition yet, Andy Selters has produced what's likely to become his most memorable show.
With three Canadians and four Indian-Nepalese climbers, Selters ventured to a restricted and barely-explored area at the northern tip of India, the Eastern Karakoram.
"Happy New Year, Fido!"
"It's a new beginning, Big Boy. Out with the old and in with the new!"
I reached into the closet for Fido's New Year's hat. It's a silver, pointy, cardboard thing with an elastic chinstrap, and on the front it says "Happy New Year." Actually, Fido's goofy New Year's cap looks just like mine.
"I don't get it."

"Maintains the tension, but ends in a cliffhanger"
If you liked the first book, "The Hunger Games," you will like the sequel. It keeps up the gut-wrenching tension despite its predictability, just like the first book. Although most of the new characters introduced are not as engaging as those we met in book one, you will grow to like some of the returning characters even more.
Katniss continues to be a bit slow to figure out things that will be immediately obvious to the reader, and the ending is easy to see coming. However, it's hardly an ending at all; the last sentence may as well have been "To be continued..."
I still think Carolyn McCormick's narration is a bit too chipper at times, and Katniss in particular sounds entirely too breathlessly girlish when she's fighting for her life.
"Another book about the Worst! Drug! Ever!"
Nick Reding's style is fine and readable, and the narration is fine. The book was interesting but frankly didn't really bring that much insight to the table. Okay, meth is bad, we all know that. And drug addiction is horrible, drug cartels are evil and dangerous, and poverty tends to breed despair and thus drug use. These are all well-known facts and true of every addictive drug and every drug "epidemic." But color me skeptical when I'm told that this generation's drug is yet another incarnation of the WORST DRUG EVER IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND!
Reding goes into the history of meth and traces the rise of meth as a small town drug that is symbolic of the woes of Middle America by tying it to one town in particular: Oelwein, Iowa. He takes a sample of individual real-life characters -- the optimistic but beleaguered mayor, the pragmatic and cynical prosecutor, the alcoholic doctor, and of course, various dealers and addicts -- to personalize the effects of meth on this town. The stories are interesting but nothing we haven't heard before. Likewise, the rise of the Mexican Mafia is just a reprise of the Colombian cocaine cartels in the 80s. Once again, ham-handed legislation tainted by lobbyist influence managed only to strengthen the hold that organized crime has on the trade.
The connection to globalization and poverty is there, but I think it's a weaker part of Reding's narrative, particularly when he veers into agribusiness consolidation. This represents a whole host of problems afflicting the American heartland, and meth is just one piece of it, more a side effect than a root cause.
It seemed like there was quite a bit of filler to pad it out to a full-length book. The Oelwein sections themselves were only part of the book.
This isn't a bad book or even a particularly flawed one, and certainly it increases understanding of the specifics of the drug methamphetamine. But I didn't find it to be ground-breaking, nor wholly convincing in its thesis.
"The monster's point of view"
This is a retelling of the Beowulf epic from Grendel's point of view. Grendel, as represented by Gardner, is an interesting character -- sometimes petulant and childish, sometimes witty and droll, sometimes a raging monster, sometimes an earnest seeker of enlightenment. There are parts that become a bit tedious (Grendel whines A LOT), but it's certainly a new way to look at the ancient tale, and Gardner, who was a noted literary author, does not even try to mimic the style of the original. The narration by George Guidall was good; I especially liked the dragon.
"Vampire apocalypse for those who liked The Stand"
If you liked Stephen King's "The Stand," you'll probably like this book, which shares many of The Stand's qualities and flaws. The Passage is a big summer read/listen, meandering in places and with some notable plot holes, but none of this really detracted from my enjoyment of the story. It spans two eras, the modern world (a slightly alternate near-future America), and then the post-apocalypse world a hundred years hence. I thought the second part was better, as part one is mostly just leading up to the real story in part two, and most of the characters in part one are just bit players whom you know are doomed to die. But if you like grand epics with big casts of characters and a story that just goes on and on, this is an enjoyable book. Be warned, though, that it's part one of a planned trilogy, as the ending makes very clear.
"A classic that has aged well, great narration"
This is a great story and the narrator captures Robert Neville's mood shifts splendidly. Surprisingly for a novel written in 1954, very little seems dated. Far more entertaining than the movie, much more thoughtful, and it's easy to see why it influenced a generation of horror and sci-fi writers. A short listen that's well worth the time.
"Bleak, Fascinating, Heartbreaking"
This story of the lives of several ordinary North Korean citizens, put together from interviews over a period of several years with defectors who made it to South Korea, gives a grim and fascinating look at what it's really like inside this isolated, almost hermetically-sealed dictatorship. Although much of it is what you'd expect from the little we can see from outside -- the cult of personality around the "Dear Leader," the bankrupt economy that pumps money into nuclear weapons and the military while the citizens starve -- you really cannot appreciate just how impoverished the people of North Korea are until you read these stories. Particularly heartbreaking is the story of the famine that killed millions in the 1990s. Every person interviewed for this book was literally watching friends and family drop dead of starvation all around them, while the government continued denying a problem and forbidding them even to grow gardens. The book covers the time period up until late 2009, when Kim Jong Il is still in power, could easily live for decades yet, and there is no telling just how much longer this regime can continue. For North Koreans, the future seems bleak no matter what.
"Good, but not as good as Windup Girl"
These short stories are some of Bacigalupi's earlier work, including two stories from the same world as the Windup Girl. They are almost all near-future dystopian, and while most were quite good individually, I found the collection as a whole felt a bit redundant after the first half. The variety of narrator voices made it a little more entertaining,and I found all the narrators to be pretty good.
"Great contemporary fantasy for a great price"
Despite being fantasy instead of SF, this novella echoes Bacigalupi's other works with familiar themes: magic is something that makes life easier at the cost of environmental catastrophe and eventual destruction, and while some greedily seek to control it all for themselves, others fanatically destroy anyone who uses it at all. The novella is actually two short stories set in the same world. "The Alchemist" is about a man who devises a solution to the destructive Brambles threatening to swallow civilization, only to learn that their rulers don't really want the Brambles destroyed. "The Executioness" starts out as a story of a woman trying to recover her lost children, but she becomes a warrior, and then a legend. All the characters are complex and there are no simple resolutions; these are two great tales.
"Not your movie James Bond"
Fleming's writing is lush and detailed, and each of these stories is a quick, fun listen. The proper British narrator sounds perfect, except when he's reading lines from American and Canadian characters, when they sound like they're talking while trying to swallow a lump of chewing tobacco. The stories have very little to do with the movies, and being written almost fifty years ago, keep in mind that they're pretty dated, and blatantly sexist.
"Brilliant new sci-fi voice, superb narration"
This book deserves its Nebula. Set in Thailand in a post-petroleum future where Western "calorie companies" unleash genetically engineered plagues to force the rest of the world to buy their seeds, The Windup Girl tells the story of Thailand's struggle to remain free of the grasp of greedy farang (foreigners), from the POV of several characters. Although the multiple POvs are sometimes annoying (especially since most of the characters aren't very likeable), each one has a compelling story in the end. The narrator does an excellent job of giving each character a distinct voice and pronouncing the Thai words which are unfamiliar to most English-speakers' ears.
"Post-Apocalyptic Yawn"
This is a story for lovers of finely-crafted literary prose: unfortunately, I'm a lover of finely-crafted stories, and this is just a long meandering journey across a post-apocalyptic landscape with repetitive dialogs between a man and his son (who sounds particularly whiny as read by this narrator). I know I'm judging what's really a finely written book harshly, but I found myself listening to the end just to get through it - at no point did I really care about the characters or wonder what was going to happen next. I appreciated the prose, but it wasn't enough to wow me.

The Nats look to make it two in a row over the Reds tonight.
It's another busy weekend in NatsTown, where the club's catching situation continues to be an issue.
As you undoubtedly saw in the previous post, the Nationals have placed Carlos Maldonado on the 15-day disabled list with a fractured right thumb, an injury he suffered Thursday in Houston when he was struck by a foul tip off Carlos Lee's bat. To replace him, the club has called up Jamie Burke from Class AAA Syracuse. Burke, you'll recall, spent the season's first two months on the DL following knee surgery and only returned to playing a couple weeks ago. The veteran wasn't, however, on the 40-man roster, so he had to have his contract purchased, which meant someone else had to be dropped. That someone was Chris Coste, another veteran catcher who two weeks ago had Tommy John surgery but today was given his unconditional release.
All the while, Ivan Rodriguez is still trying to return from his own lower back injury. Pudge was doing some running on the field earlier this afternoon, under the watchful eye of Jim Riggleman and also played catch and hit in the cage. He's slated to take a full round of BP and run the bases tomorrow, and if all goes well, he'll go on a quick rehab assignment to Class A Potomac on Monday. If that goes well, he can come off the DL in time for Stephen Strasburg's debut Tuesday night.

Strasburg won't be at the park and in uniform until Tuesday. Not allowed here until he's on the 25-man roster, and the Nats don't plan to promote him before then.Nothing new to report on Flores since the update last week. I wouldn't hold my breath on this guy returning from the DL anytime soon.

Best I can tell Mark they are doing the extra infield each day…correct?The defense is much better than last year and you know it Mark….Anderson Hernandez two errors in the first home game last year on 10 hoppers right to him are not the same as say these two errors in the 8th and you know that too…..What is the point of your question Mark? Do you see these two seasons as the same types of errors Mark?
- A DC Wonk - Jun 6, 2010 at 2:06 AM
Where's the outrage this time around?I think it's coming. The defense looked pretty decent the first part of this year, but seems to have taken a nosedive just in the last week or two. (At least that's the impression I get). So, the complaints, I suspect, are coming.
- A DC Wonk - Jun 6, 2010 at 2:08 AM
JayB — I don't think it matters "what kind" of errors. When you accumulate enough so that you're last in the league — and not only last but a full 20% more than the second to last — there's a problem.
- JayB - Jun 6, 2010 at 2:46 AM
Mark,Looks like Riggs gave you the same answer as I did above about errors and work….dumb question really Mark, it shows an agenda and a lack of attention to the facts between this year and last.And yes it is still a problem but a much different one than Acta created here.
- K.D. - Jun 6, 2010 at 2:56 AM
I think it is also a matter of who is making the errors. The Nats reigning Gold Glover gets a pass for a few, as does a rookie shortstop.
- Anonymous - Jun 6, 2010 at 3:09 AM
Quite impressive the way JayB doesn't let any facts get in the way of his opinion. But Mark, I will say that the defense looked quite a bit better over the first 30-35 games, and has only fallen off the cliff more recently. I think it started to falter before Pudge went on the DL, but has gotten worse since then. I just did a quick count and tallied that they've made 19 errors in the 13 games since he's been out.
- Mark Zuckerman - Jun 6, 2010 at 3:18 AM
I swear there's no agenda here. I've said it before, but I'll repeat one more time: I think Riggleman has done a fine job as manager of this team. I think Acta's firing was justified last summer. I think there has been more attention to detail this year. I also agree that of course the defense hasn't been nearly as bad this year as it was last year.But the defense over the last three or so weeks has been bad, and it's now costing this team on a near-nightly basis. And you can't ignore the fact they have committed nine more errors than any other team in baseball.My point is: You can drill defense and fundamentals into a team as much as you want, and it may help some. But ultimately it's on the players to make the plays in the field. And that's what Riggleman said tonight.
- Cwj - Jun 6, 2010 at 3:22 AM
This team is missing Pudge in many ways. He'll be back though.

In terms of the UZR which some (perhaps excluding Mr. Zuckerman?) believe is a better indicator of defense than errors. Examples are range and the balls players like Morgan, Desmond, Bernadina can get to to quash hits, runners advancing, big innings. That figure seems to have risen significantly. Clearly they are far better defensively with Pudge than without Pudge and that may be due to his ability as a field general. And his talent for calling pitches.
- JayB - Jun 6, 2010 at 3:29 AM
Understood but I just want to makes the points that drilling has greatly reduced the mental errors on Bunt Plays, Double Steal, Cut off plays, Calling balls in the OF and a whole host of problems with the defense. And this team is working on these things everyday where as last year at this time they work not.
- Eric - Jun 6, 2010 at 3:36 AM
JayB, Can you please take your idiotic comments to another blog? Do you ever stop bitching? Most normal fans are happy with the progress coming off of back to back 100 loss seasons.
- Anonymous - Jun 6, 2010 at 3:48 AM
Yeah – what Eric said.
- Ernie - Jun 6, 2010 at 3:57 AM
I was at the game tonight. It looked like Guzman just stood and watched two ground balls roll to his left for hits that most second basemen would pick up. Did I just see that wrong? And was Dunn out of position after Phillips's single when he was half way to second and no one was there to catch him in a run-down? Or did Phillips just come that far off the bag because Dunn was backing up the throw? Finally, keeping score with Joe West in the park is a near impossiblity – the scoreboard can never explain the strange calls and I have to wait until I get home to figure out what happened. Up in my section we thought the call was that Zimmerman missed Phillips on the tag.
- A DC Wonk - Jun 6, 2010 at 4:22 AM
How does having Pudge cut down on errors by infielders?
- Anonymous - Jun 6, 2010 at 4:32 AM
JayB said…This post has been removed by the author.Finally he says something that makes sense. And we're only in what, year six of this team?
- Grandstander - Jun 6, 2010 at 5:16 AM
I understand that, but where is the accountability? Is it simply a matter of not being to sit some of these guys because of our lack of depth? That's the way it seems to me. Before, when Nyjer was just terrible and made those 2 inside the park HRs happen, any other team would have sat him down, we didn't. Why? No one could take his place. Guzzy and Desmond combine for 6 errors in 2 games, who else you gonna put in? Nieves can't even make a clean throw to second, let alone get a freaking hit, but who else do we have??I've said it before and it's now become glaringly obvious, the lack of depth on this team has totally exposed our weaknesses. If one guy isn't there and performing, the whole ship goes down. Pudge, Dunn, Nyjer, with them out or slumping we simply cannot win consistently because no one is able to fill the void.It hurts more because we had such a hot April/May, but this is simply not a competitive team yet. In a couple of years, absolutely, and I trust Rizzo to make the right moves to make it happen. But we were fooled into thinking this team was anything more than some bright young talent mixed with some retreads who could hobble us back into respectability.
- Cwj - Jun 6, 2010 at 5:42 AM
DC Wonk, I think Pudge provides something for this team that stats can't account for.Imagine Phillips trying to show him up!
- natsfan1a - Jun 6, 2010 at 12:36 PM
I was watching on tv, and missed the part where Pudge was barking at the Reds' dugout. Thanks for that interesting tidbit. I did see a tight shot of him nodding to himself after the Phillips celebration ("Well, well, what have we here? Um-hmm, duly noted."). I agree that Pudge seems to add something to the team that stats can't account for, even if he's merely in the dugout. I for one can't wait to have him back on the field.
- natsfan1a - Jun 6, 2010 at 12:38 PM
Oh, and imo, any agenda is not on the part of the Mark and the media, but on the part of those fans who can't let go of the Acta era and can't stand to read anything that does not serve to validate their low opinion of him.
- A dc wonk - Jun 6, 2010 at 1:43 PM
I agree Pudge adds some things – but I wouldn't think that improved infielding would be one of them

Unity Sports is an exciting, new element of the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games. Special Olympics athletes will join fans, supporters and sports celebrities on the field of play for a series of competitions in 21 different sports.
Olympic Gold Medalist Bart Conner lends a hand and a smile to a program of exercise at the Bart Conner Gymnastics Academy in Norman, Oklahoma.
One of the new additions to the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games involves Unity Sports, a series of exhibition competitions that pair people with and without intellectual disabilities to compete alongside one another on the field of play. Inspired by Unified Sports® and the Special Olympics Unity Cup Presented by Coca-Cola, the Unity Sports events will provide a memorable opportunity for the athletes and guests to spotlight the importance of inclusion, sportsmanship, and friendship to the rest of the world.
The first Unity competition of the World Games will be a 12-team doubles tennis tournament, with each team comprised of an All Star Fan and a Special Olympics athlete. Former tennis superstars Monica Seles and Mario Ancic will compete, along with All Star Fans Muhtar Kent and Larry Lucchino, and International Global Messengers and Special Olympics athletes Ariel Ary and Minmin Huang.
The tennis event will kick off an outstanding week of 24 different Unity competitions across 21 different sports, including kayaking, volleyball, table tennis, and bowling. Olympic medalists, professional athletes, dignitaries, and dedicated supporters of the Special Olympics Global Movement will join with Special Olympics athletes in these competitions. In addition, many team competitions include opportunities for fans, youth leaders, coaches, and volunteers to take part.
Fans and players of Unity Sports are creating a personal webpage to fundraise in support of their participation in Athens. To date, fundraisers have pledged to raise over $100,000. If you are interested in setting up your own Unity Sports fundraising webpage, visit http://thon.kintera.org/UnitySportsEvents/.
And if you are interested in participating in Unity Sports events and willing to join our online fundraising initiative, please contact Parker Ramsdell at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information. We hope you will say "I'm In!" and join a Unity Sport!
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.

Casa Brava, Sayulita, Mexico(4)Guestbook entries
As a Boutique-Homes client, stay at least 3 nights and get one night free.
Casa Brava is a stunning contemporary villa that seamlessly blends modern architecture with a gorgeous tropical setting. It's located on the top of one of Sayulita's highest hills, giving guests 360 degree views of the jungle, the ocean, and the town of Sayulita, and is only a 10 minute walk to the beach.
There is amazing bird watching from the house: the little green parrots, the Black-throated Magpie Jays, Macaws and even Chachalacas ( if you never see one, you'll know it when you hear it); these are a few of the 336 species living IN the area. Let us arrange for an incredible whale watching tour from December until early March. The tour is led by a renowned research oceanographer who follows the Humpback migrations up and down the North American coast and also knows the different whales' names by sight and songs. Hike through the jungle to secluded beaches and picnic before jumping into the surf.
The home was designed by a well known Mexican architect in true contemporary style using poured in place concrete with entire walls of glass and with wonderful inside/outside living areas. Handcrafted custom Parota wood louvered doors open onto decks, patios, the garden and pool area. Every individual detail was carefully chosen to compliment and enhance the unique and comfortable design, such as the onyx walls, honed granite counters, and custom made furniture. The king sized beds feature Egyptian cotton sheets; a perfect spot to relax and watch one of the 300+ DVD titles in the media library. If you can't completely leave the outside world behind, there is WIFI throughout and unlimited calls to the United States and Canada.
Casa Brava contains two houses – a 2-bedroom/2-bathroom main house and 1-bedroom/1-bath guest house – and an additional studio apartment. Each unit gives guests total privacy and offers the the same blend of modern architecture and tropical lifestyle. Though each unit can be rented individually, when rented together, the Casa Brava becomes the perfect home for families, friends, and groups traveling in Mexico.
Special arrangements can be made to make your stay as enjoyable as possible, including arranging for transportation, organizing whale watching tours, and hiring a private cook.
Depending on which unit is rented, amenities include a 12'x24′ infinity pool, several terraces and hammocks for outdoor lounging, full kitchen, and access to a rooftop garden. See "Info/Rates" section for full details.

The face that one makes, or is compelled to make, when drinking a strong alcoholic beverage. Resisting it is a sign of strength and high tolerance for alcohol. An alcohol virgin is almost guaranteed to make this face when first tasting a straight shot of whiskey, rum, or other strong alcoholic beverage.
I can't drink a shot of Wild Turkey without making the wimp face.

From carpal tunnel syndrome to the knee pain you've had since playing high school sports, Baptist Health offers a wide array of orthopaedic services to central Alabama to help you overcome the pains that ail you.
Stage 6 hospitals also have achieved a significant advancement in their IT capabilities that positions them to successfully address many of the current industry transformations, such as meaningful use criteria in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, claims attachments for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, pay for performance, and government quality reporting programs. "Being the first and only hospital in Alabama to achieve this level of recognition by HIMSS is a testament to our physicians and staff who use our electronic medical record and their dedication to providing the best care for our patients," said Sims.

Humm, Nokia having plans to do smartphones with Linux/MeeGo and Qt on their next ARM smartphones? Good to see they're putting work into it.
Phoronix: Pixman Continues With ARM Performance Improvements
The October release of Pixman 0.20 brought performance improvements, particularly when using this pixel manipulation library for X and Cairo under ARM platforms. A month later there were more ARM optimizations in the first development snapshot for Pixman 0.22. The second development snapshot for Pixman 0.22 has arrived this morning, and guess what? It brings more ARM performance improvements...
Humm, Nokia having plans to do smartphones with Linux/MeeGo and Qt on their next ARM smartphones? Good to see they're putting work into it.
Cairo uses Pixman, so GTK uses Pixman.. But does nokia's QT use it?
"viciously focus on ARM performance improvements, particularly for the ARM NEON."
that's not really surprising, if you happen to realise that the old Linux PPC never really got any Altivec 128bit SIMD optimisations and suffered a lot of speed degradation for that mistake when compared against Apple that did get lots of Altivec SIMD code in all parts of the that OS etc.
it seems the commercial ARM dev's have learned from that mistake and are making efforts to bench and optimise for the NEON 128but SIMD as and when they can and that's a good thing.
it's odd though , (there was talk back in 2007 that they would but never did), i dont know why someone doesn't port yasm to arm cortex as i understand that would provide a lot more flexibility and far better macro handling ability especially over ARM gas.
after all the Linux ARM dev's and app's do have to compete with apple again, and soon windows on ARM Cortex, so it makes sense every ARM dev benches and profiles their new code patches on a regular cycle and tests and re-factors for speed, and save every clock cycle they can today to get a head start
see http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2010/08/24/...ith-more-simd/
Single instruction, multiple data
One of ways we used to get Qt 4.7 faster than its predecessor is using the processors more effectively. Modern processors have ways to execute an instruction on multiple data at a time. This is called single instruction, multiple data: SIMD. In particular, recent x86 processors have SSE extensions, while ARM Cortex have Neon.
Thanks for the explanations.
Explanation is very much of use for me Thank you a bunch.
