Typical menu board at Mr. and Mrs. Miscellaneous. Flavors change daily – another incentive to visit often.
By popular request and in an attempt to populate the "San Francisco" tab on my site, I've created a list of my favorite ice cream spots in San Francisco. Of course, I started this last week when it was bright, sunny, and warm (these three conditions are not always simultaneous in San Francisco), but naturally now it's back to Fog City again. No matter – in SF ice cream consumption is rarely tied to the current weather but rather to the pure desire to have a cone filled with something sweet, frozen, and really, really delicious.
I've only listed ones that I've been to personally, as is only fair. However, as eating ice cream is one of my very favorite activities, and as there seems to be no shortage of ice cream shops both classic and artisan opening up in SF, rest assured this list will continue to be updated (with more photos, as well!) Feel free to give your own recommendations in the comments as well – there's always room for more ice cream.

Changes on our face when we growModerator: BioTeam
2 posts • Page 1 of 1
Changes on our face when we growWhat changes does parts of our face make when we grow up ? Lets see on nose, eye or ear ? Can we find out the age of person by measuring or seeing any parts of any person ??
Guess it depends on the individual in question, but unlike bone cartilage will continue to grow through our lives. You have may noticed that older people have proportionally larger noses and ears since their internal structure is mostly cartilage. I guess you could use this to estimate how old somebody was.

Ciaran Foy's "Citadel" is a horrifying thriller painted on a small and very dark canvas. Told through the eyes of a young husband named Tommy (Aneurin Barnard), it opens on a sweet note and quickly turns tragic. He kisses his very pregnant wife goodbye and descends in an elevator to deliver their luggage to a taxi for the trip to the hospital. When he returns to their floor, he watches helplessly through the elevator window as three hooded youngsters savagely attack her.
The door won't open, of course. The elevator forcibly returns him to the lobby, and after Tommy races up 11 flights of stairs, he finds his wife has been attacked with a hypodermic needle. Why didn't he and his wife both go down with the luggage? Not to ask.
His wife lives long enough to deliver their baby daughter, then dies, leaving Tommy a panic-crazed basket case who becomes agoraphobic and imagines he sees the three hooded monsters everywhere — hunched over, scuttling sideways, merciless.
"Citadel," ironically the name of the couple's building, is basically a three-character movie about Tommy, a priest (James Cosmo) and a helpful social worker named Marie (Wunmi Mosaku). The social worker advises Tommy to pity the poor kids, who must be from broken homes. The priest all but goes berserk in condemning the kids and exhorting Tommy that he must go into battle against them. He says they're demonic, and indeed there seems to be something demonic and wraithlike about their creepy appearances.
I believe that young people wearing hoods, unless they are very young, can be frightening. What are they hiding? Why don't they want to come out into the light with the rest of us? They may be perfectly nice, but the hoods send an uncertain statement. An innocent young man named Trayvon Martin, for example, paid with his life when his hood projected a knee-jerk message.
These three murderers, sometimes joined by a few more, seem very real when we first see them. Later they have a way of taking form in a strange unfocused light. Are they always real or does Tommy sometimes imagine them?
This is a basic story, simply and directly told by Irish writer-director Ciaran Foy. He doesn't try to explain too much, he doesn't depend on special effects and stays just this side of the unbelievable. As Tommy, Aneurin Barnard is very effective. He trembles and sweats with fear, he would seem paranoid if it didn't seem the "demons" weren't really there, and if they hadn't really killed his wife.
The priest enlists Tommy in a scheme to destroy the Citadel and send the demons back to the flames of hell. This would be a better plan if they didn't start at the ground floor and work their way up. Think about it.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

Harvey to lead Mets in series opener vs. Nats
Righty looks to strengthen All-Star starter case; Detwiler opposes
For the second straight game, the Nationals are going to face one of the best pitchers in the National League this season. One day after going up against Arizona's Patrick Corbin, the Nationals' next task is to try to beat the Mets' Matt Harvey.
Harvey (7-1, 2.05 ERA) will start for the Mets -- who are returning to Citi Field following an 11-game road trip -- against Washington on Friday. He'll look to continue his run of stellar starts.
Against the Phillies last week, Harvey gave up only two hits over six scoreless innings, with one walk and six strikeouts. He also had plenty of run support, which is something the Mets haven't given him much this season, in the 8-0 win over Philadelphia.
And that start came after a 13-strikeout performance against the Braves.
Now Harvey will try to pick up his third straight win against an NL East opponent on Friday. He'll also look to continue the Mets' momentum. New York is returning to Citi Field after going 7-4 on a four-city trip.
Harvey last pitched against the Nationals on April 19, and he gave up only one run on four hits in the Mets' 7-1 win that day.
Washington is going to see the Mets' three best starters this weekend, with Dillon Gee pitching on Saturday and New York's newest highly touted pitcher, Zack Wheeler, on Sunday.
Before the Nationals' game against the Diamondbacks on Thursday, Washington manager Davey Johnson lauded New York's pitching staff.
"I think Gee has pitched some awfully good ballgames. He's a good pitcher, too. Their pitching staff is much improved over the years," Johnson said. "But it doesn't matter. There's a lot of good pitchers around the league. Harvey, he's a dominant pitcher. He's pitched some good games against us. I like his approach. I saw Wheeler on TV, live fastball and a little slider."
The Nationals will have Ross Detwiler (2-6, 4.18 ERA) on the mound Friday. He's coming off a rough performance against the Rockies, in which he gave up seven runs on nine hits.
After starting the season off strong, Detwiler has been struggling of late. He hasn't pitched into the seventh inning since April 17. But he did spend time on the disabled list with a right oblique strain.
Still, Detwiler's had plenty of success against the Mets, going 4-1 in Detwiler's six career starts against New York.
Mets: Harvey making case for All-Star start
Harvey leads the NL with 121 strikeouts, and his 2.05 ERA is also best in the league. Mets manager Terry Collins said Wednesday he can shuffle his rotation if Harvey is asked to start the All-Star Game.
• Eric Young Jr. went 1-for-5 on Thursday, extending his hitting streak to six games. He's hitting .382 in eight games with the Mets.
Nationals: Desmond continues hot hitting month
With his home run on Thursday, shortstop Ian Desmond now has seven home runs and 23 RBIs in the month of June. Overall, he's hitting .272 this season.
• Bryce Harper had a two-run triple in a rehab game with Double-A Harrisburg on Thursday.
• Reliever Drew Storen hasn't allowed an earned run in 14 of his last 15 appearances.
Worth noting
• The last game where the Mets scored at least 10 runs came against the Nationals in a 10-1 win at Nationals Park on June 5.

In case anyone wants to see it in action.
Phoronix: Mesa 7.9 Has Now Been Released
Just as planned, Mesa 7.9 has now been released! This 7.9 release of this open-source graphics library is huge with a plethora of Gallium3D improvements (to the drivers, state trackers, etc), core Mesa improvements (including new OpenGL extensions), a new GLSL compiler, and much more...
In case anyone wants to see it in action.
nice video. thx. good to see gallium3d becoming a reality.
Mesa 7.9 aka the r300g/default release.
Let's hope Mesa 7.10 becomes the r600g equivalent.
Let us hope they will release 7.10 sooner than 7.9 . I hate having to use git code for my drivers...
They need to have a proper release policy. At least a new version every 3 months. It is not that hard...
7.9 was released on time, so they do have a proper release policy, no?
Do you have a problem understanding simple statements? My problem is with the time it took from 7.8 to 7.9 . 6 fscking months for God's sake!
They need to release more often. Even if it means releasing versions with fewer changes, that is ok. But having to wait for 6 months for an updated 3d driver is ridiculus.
I don't care waiting for releases, because my distro of choise has table tested mesa git code and it's called Fedora.
If you would not care about stable tested bleeding edge then you wouldn't care about more frequent Mesa releases.
And that's perfecrly fine; less testing means more time pushing Mesa forward, for which Gallium3D is not finnished anyway.
Does that upset Templar?
Most people are just going to use whatever is included with their distro or in community repositories, and for those that are trying to manually install it they can figure out how to download from git easily enough anyway.
I don't see much need for more frequent releases than the 6 month distro release schedule.

MUP path crossing, am I a vehicle or a pedestrian?
being new to the whole MUP thing parts of it seem really confusing... where they cross roads seems especially confusing...
usually there is a STOP sign for bikes, but then it never fails that a car will stop to let you cross... so there we are, me with a stop sign waiting for traffic to clear and them stopped in the middle of the street yielding their right of way to let a vehicle enter the roadway... but then I read a comment to a news article saying that on a MUP a bicycle is considered a pedestrian... but that doesn't make any sense... why have stop signs for pedestrians and rules about audible passing alerts? so is there a section of bicycle law dealing specifically with a MUP? are cars required to stop for a bicycle on a MUP crossing a road? if so is it because we are forced to use the sidewalk therefore forcing us to become pedestrians as soon as we enter the roadway but then we magically convert back to bicycles when we get to the other side and are on the MUP again? and if cars are required to stop then why are bicycles required to stop? are they courtesy signs like in parking lots and they don't have to be obeyed? is a MUP crosswalk really a crosswalk or is it an extension of the MUP? when going across do we have to slow down to a pedestrian crawl if any pedestrians are present? the laws on bikes in the road are mostly clear, but I haven't seen anything about a MUP other than having to make an audible alert to pass peds... |
I don't know the legal ins-and-outs of multi-use paths, but my own take on them when they cross a street is that bikes must stop or slow down.
If an auto driver stops to allow you to cross, I figure they're just being nice. I then cross carefully, never assuming the other vehicles are going to be nice and stop too. Here's a column by Ray Thomas trying to figure out MUPs. He seems to say that bicycles on an MUP should slow down to walking speed when they cross a street, similar to the rules for bikes on sidewalks. http://www.oregoncycling.org/archive...Bicycle_Riders |
thanks that's a good reference...
I'll have to look up stop sign rules to see if they apply on a bicycle path... I'm sure it just says vehicle since we have to stop at regular stop signs, but I don't know if it specifies road or not... |
another issue that has come up recently...
am I required to stay to the right and pass on the left on a MUP? what about pedestrians? just in the last couple days I've had issues where people and bicycles were on the left side of the path or an actual left lane of a path... one instance was where a family was taking up both lanes of a path and when I rang my bell they all jumped to the left side where I was going to pass, then we had to do the little "I don't know where you're going" dance while we all changed lanes a couple times until I almost had to stop to be sure not to hit one of them... another was a kid riding his BMX in the left lane of a path... not so bad, except that as I was passing him on the right in my lane other bikes were coming at him and he then had no place to go... I was worried he'd swerve into me but he just hugged the left side even more while everybody passed both directions on his right... |

Revised fire protection maps could help generate more projects
Plumas Corporation Executive Director John Sheehan told the Board of Supervisors, at a recent meeting, that improvements to the county's and Plumas National Forest's wildland urban interface (WUI) maps could generate $2.7 million in economic activity over the next two years.
Sheehan explained that the new maps would allow current fuels reduction fire prevention projects to grow by 2,700 acres on the Plumas National Forest.
He said that an acre of that type of work led to around $1,000 in economic activity on average.
Plumas County Fire Safe Council Coordinator Jerry Hurley told the board the maps were part of the county's community wildfire protection plan, which is needed to get certain types of forest fire prevention grants and Federal Emergency Management Agency disaster funding.
Hurley explained that the original county WUI map had 28 communities at risk identified, with 60 recognized now.
Communities at risk are those connected to public forest lands, meaning they are at risk of having forest fires spread to residential areas.
Hurley explained the wildland urban interface is the area around a community that can connect a forest fire to residential areas.
Grant sources like federal stimulus funding can be used for fuel reduction work in those areas to ensure that communities are protected.
The coordinator indicated that originally the map consisted of literally drawing 1.5-mile bubbles around all the communities in Plumas, as 1.5 miles is considered a general guide for the size of a WUI.
He said the biggest flaw with that strategy was that "the little individual circles really aren't conducive to large scale planning."
"It was like each community was standing by itself as an island," he added, "we felt that wasn't logical."
He explained that the new plan analyzed the area around each community, drawing the WUI lines by taking into account, "terrain, the vegetation in some cases, roads, ridges, valleys, things that really effect how fire burns into a community and away from a community."
Hurley characterized the change as "more of a landscape approach to fuels planning."

Documentation and scrutineering
Every Rally starts with a check of personnel and bikes. All team members must be accredited and all bikes must comply to the rules of the FIM.
Parc Fermé
After scrutineering, the bikes have to go into Parc Fermé, a closed area where the bikes must not be touched until the next day before the start. Only the rider may enter half an hour before his start time and get ready for the start. This is to avoid that modifications may be done to the bikes after the technical scrutineering.
The prologue is a first short special test defining the starting order for the first stage. The time of the prologue also counts towards the overall result.
A liaison is the way to, between or after special stages. The riders have a maximum time to go to the next check point, and they are penalized if they exceed that time for any reason. The time of liaison does not count for the final result.
Special stage
Timed race course, the times of the special stages count for the daily result. The final result is calculated by adding the times for the special stages plus penalties for exceeding liaison times or missing check points.
Is the abbreviation for check point. A special stage is equipped with several check points where the riders get a stamp in their time card. The check points prove that a rider is on the right track and in time.
Road book
Every day the riders get a road book which indicates the route of the day. The information on a road book consists of pictures with arrows and short information (e.g. Danger!!!) as well as the distance to the information on the next picture and the overall distance.
Along with the road book, the GPS is a second device to assist the rider with navigation. The organizers specify certain points in every stage that the riders must pass correctly. These points are also mentioned in the road book.

New-jet programs come in two flavors: completely clean-sheet-of-paper designs and updates of existing models. This article deals strictly with the former. The category is well populated, but mostly with midsize and super-midsize jets—a reflection of continuing softness in the entry-level sector and the rarefication of the large-jet and bizliner field. Bombardier, Cessna and Embraer all have models under development in what can be called the greater middle market, the most attractive category for fractional programs and other fleet customers. The large-jet business is seeing some action, although less of it: new projects are under way at Bombardier and Dassault and the rumor mill is running full tilt regarding Gulfstream programs building on the larger-cabin cross-section introduced by the G650.

As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.

Food and beverages on private aircraft are a far cry from what you'll find on most airline flights. Bizav caterers offer an array of delectable delights—everything from smoked Scottish salmon and tamarind honey lamb kabobs to mint and cucumber gazpacho, burgers with cognac sauce and raspberry pecan chicken salad.

Some people tried to convince Charles Lindbergh that he shouldn't attempt his 1927 New York-to-Paris flight in an airplane with only one engine. His response was that two engines would double his odds of having an engine failure. In the graveyard humor of pilots, the saying goes, "The second engine will take you directly to the scene of the accident." So Lucky Lindy chose a single Wright J5 Whirlwind to power the Spirit of St. Louis, and the rest is history.

In 1924, Clyde Cessna and Walter Beech started the Travel Air Manufacturing Company in Wichita, Kansas. Within four years it was the largest maker of commercial airplanes in the U.S. Cessna left to start his own company in 1927 and Beech did likewise in 1932, forming what we now know as Beechcraft.

The emperor has new clothes. Cessna's latest incarnation of its midsize Sovereign fits advanced technology and improved interior design into a fuselage tube cross section introduced by the Citation III back in 1979.

World Vision, one of the largest aid agencies working in South Sudan, is calling on all parties to listen to the cries of the afflicted children and seek a negotiated solution to the nearly month-long conflict in the country.
World Vision is partnering with Premier Yarns, an international manufacturer and distributor of high-quality yarns, to improve the lives of children around the world through World Vision's "Knit for Kids" program.

The 14th Annual Hot Rod Nationals - Goodguys Indy
Written on November 1, 2002 The 14th Annual Hot Rod NationalsIf it ain't broke, don't fix it! It's thinking like this that's kept Goodguys events in the forefront of hot rod enthusiasts' minds for years, and there's no better example of this than this year's 14th Annual Goodguys Hot Rod Nationals. Open to hot rods, classic trucks, and customs to '64 (and race vehicles to '72) Indy consistently draws the cream of the crop from every rodding and racing genre. Though Indy has been known for years as "the place" to debut hot, new rides, there were still (and always will be) plenty of low-buck and homebuilt cars and trucks on hand for everybody's enjoyment, as well.
This year, there were more than 4,000 pre-'64 cars and trucks, and they literally came from all over the country. Regardless of dollars spent, every one of 'em were inspected and admired by all.
If looking at cool cars and trucks isn't enough to keep you satisfied, Goodguys Indy has lots more to offer--like a boatload of classic cars and trucks getting flogged on the racetrack. That's right, the Hot Rod Nationals features vintage drag racing (open to pre-'72 vehicles) with 12 classes of competition ranging from street-legal hot rods to old-school Top Fuelers and Gassers. And, if that's not enough to satisfy your automotive lust, then it's just a short jaunt down the road to visit the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway or take in any of the other gearhead-inspired sights and attractions available.
The fact that Goodguys Indy always has a great sideshow of vintage drag racing is a definite draw, but the allure goes beyond that. This is simply a great, laid-back, early season gathering. This year's show was also our second outing for making CLASSIC TRUCKS Top Ten Picks. And believe us, there were enough cool haulers for us to have doubled or tripled our number of picks. Check out the photos and see if you don't agree.

This month's Fantasy /Horror offering is an old one: Necroscope by Brian Lumley. First published in 1986, it's a tale of Lovecraftian horror and vampires, and introduces us to Harry Keogh who is born with the ability to speak to the dead. Very popular at its time of first publication, 25 years later does it stand up to the test of time? Discuss! Mark
I read this in '86 and really enjoyed it. I remember finding it only because "Lumley" is very close to "King" on the shelf at my local bookstore. Actually... that's why I read my first Koontz novel too. I hope to do a re-read of this before August is out to participate. Good choice!
I also read this about a couple of decades ago and re-read about 6 months ago. A fantastic horror novel and good lead in to the Necroscope series by Lumley. He builds the characters very well and is good at giving all the (relevant) life history behind them. The story's told at a pace that makes you want to keep reading, and he makes the world of ESP, vampires and talking to the dead believable. There are some scenes that are scary and some that are quite gory too, especially some of the descriptions of how the character Dragosani "reads" the dead. I've read just the five in the Necroscope series and they were all good; from memory my favourite was the book set in the world of the Wamphyri and the aeries they inhabit (I think it was book 3 The Source) - and there are some very evil characters! There's also about another 10 books in related series that I'll have to check out one day... (Good to see another horror in the BotM too!)
Yeah, I was thinking that too. There will be one in October though, if that helps: we always try a Horror for Halloween. To me, Necroscope is one of those gore-filled horror novels that were so prevalent in the so-called horror-boom of the '80's. Pretty icky, though if I remember right there's some quite good stuff in there - the Bureau for Occult Investigations before they became ten-a-penny, vampires with a twist (again, before they became popular (again)) and occultist stuff that owed a lot to Lovecraft, of whom Lumley is a big fan. It is also quite British, if I remember right. Has it dated as badly as I suspect it has? Mark
Very disappointing - especially because of the interesting premise. To be honest I only finished it because it is BotM and it was the last book left unread during my vacation. As said, the basic idea, characters and events could be very interesting - but not when they're described the way they are. To me, it seems that Brian Lumley writes as follows: he has an average to good idea, pictures the characters, setting and dialogue in his mind and then writes everything down his mind shows him. There is no discernable effort made to separate the tedious and the obvious bits from the interesting ones. It's like reading the script for a B-movie - including pointers for the director. One example: "On the floor at his feet, Boris Dragosani was unconscious. His collapse had simply been a ploy to put him within reach of a weapon." Aha!! And it's not one example, he does this throughout the book. Dialogue is not very convincing either - again, Lumley seems to conjure up some B-type movie conversation, and writes everything down he comes up with. Cool idea, necroscope vs. necromancer, some of the sequences are O.K. (Harry's school days, Dragosani's necromancy in the first chapter), but overall very poor. Cheers, Sfinx.
Fast work, sfinx: well done! Dialogue seems to be an issue then: or narrative! Where it did work for you, why did it work there? Mark
I remember being quite obsessive about this series and when I just went to check I counted 12 Necroscope books on my shelf, including the lost years and the abortive second series. Don't remember a whole lot other than it got browny points for being quite dark and bloodthirsty with an occasional creepy edge. There was also just enough killing of important characters, tragically in some cases, to make you never quite sure if Harry was going to save the day. Can't hurt to re-read I suppose, but I'm blaming you all if I end up reading all 12
I don't have a copy here, so can't quote literally, but what worked (compared to the rest) were, as I mentioned, the parts where Dragosani is first acting out his necromancy and the episodes focusing on Harry's school-days. The necromancy sequence in the first chapter is interesting because it's original, conjures up vivid images - and is one of the few instances where Lumley's tendency to explain everything in detail actually has added value - it enhances the 'shock effect'. The bits about Harry's school-days are quite atmospheric and are relevant to the story and the origin and development of his special skill. And even though for instance the parts about Harry's sudden knack for math are obvious in the extreme, they still work to a certain extent. I think these elements of the book work better than the rest because these pertain to the original idea or theme **I think** Lumley had in his mind when he started to write the book. The rest feels like filling the spaces. And especially hard to swallow are the tedious explanations which typically go something like this: Harry, with a hard look on his face, pointed his finger at Dragosani, then picked up the envelope which was lying on the dusty floor. As for the hard look: Harry did not particularly like Dragosani and hoped the hard look might scare the monster off. As for the pointed finger: He wanted to make sure the abomination he was facing really knew it was him Harry was addressing! He couldn't allow any mistake, not at this time. As for the envelope: Etc, etc.... You get my point. But there seem to be quite a few people who did enjoy Necroscope, I'd be interested to learn what they thought (or more to the point, think) of it. Cheers, Sfinx.
I started the book yesterday and I'm almost half-way through it already. Some thoughts: At least in theme and some of the ideas, this reminds me a bit of a recent book from the book club, F. Paul Wilson's The Keep. The force of the vampire and the power is similar, but different enough to be Lumley's own creation. Both authors are also a bit Lovecraftian in their influences. Obviously, there's something to the writing for me to be halfway through a 500 page book by now. That said, so far it isn't what I expected at all. So far, I'm finding this a character study of two characters - the hero and his arch enemy. Halfway through they haven't yet met and while I find the story of both characters interesting enough, I expected something, I don't know...more. Lumley does seem to take a while to get to his thoughts across. Some scenes were graphic - the sex and the bloody violence, in particular. I'm liking it, but I don't know that I'd continue the series at this point.
Rob, you beat me to my exact post by about 6 minutes. EVERYTHING you said, I was going to say. Definitely agree with The Keep thing, though I think this book is managing to stay much more engaging than that did. Although, at 300 pages, I'm ready for some conflict to arise. I give Lumley credit: There are huge sections of the book that are just conversations between Dragosani and other characters, no scene setting, no action at all, but they remain very interesting.
Exactly, no conflict yet and I was expecting a book about vampires and a guy who can talk to the dead to have more conflict than it does. Yes, the book is engaging, but after scanning over some of what I read after having just read it, I don't get a sense that the story is served better by some of it.
This was definitely an odd one for me. I didn't find it terribly overwritten like Sfinx did. But something about it didn't work for me. Taken on an individual basis, I generally found all the sections to be quite readable and engaging (hell, finished the 500 pages in just under two days). But it seemed to me like the more and more powerful the two main characters got, the less ad less I cared to actually read the book. The concept of the necroscope was fascinating, or rather I think it could have been except that Harry went from just figuring out what he could do to Super-Moebius-Strip guy in too short a time, I thought. Likewise, Dargosani was interesting when he was seeking power and learning things from the vampire. When he attained all of that he became much less interesting to me. By the end, all the timey-wimey, metaphysical mumbo-jumbo was a bit too much. So while I liked pretty much all the elements of this one, it just somehow didn't come together for me. I can't actually think of another book I've read in the last few years where there is such a disparity for me between concept and reception. In short, I would rate any given aspect of this book pretty highly. For some reason, though, I rate the entire package pretty low on the scale....
I finished this off last night and thought it was OK, overall. Upon reflection, Lumley's structure for the book - introducing the hero and his arch-enemy, building up their characters, and paying it off with a confrontation at the very end, is a tried and true recipe. Here in Necroscope, it mostly works. I say mostly because Lumley, for my taste, padded the hell out of the novel. I liked the final fate for Dragonasi. I also felt Lumley was throwing too much metaphysical/mythical/fantastical/pseud-scientific stuff at the wall trying to see what stuck. I liked his take on the vampire as a parasite living inside of other people. Although it wasn't necessarily original in its essence, I like how Lumley shaped it to his own.
Could this be due to the tension between several elements of Necroscope? And instead of enhancing it, these 'conflicts' actually decrease the quality of the overall package? For example: Subject vs. writing style: the subject matter is quite 'brutal', especially Dragosani's necromancy, the writing though has a somewhat 'Young Adult' feel to me. Plot premise vs. actual story: as Rob pointed out, presented with the idea of 'necroscope versus necromancer' you'd expect quite a lot of action and conflict - which is, although not absent, not that pervasive. Hardcore vs. cuddly: Lumley doesn't shy away from explicit gore - but also shows quite a romantic streak. Which could work - but doesn't here imo. So poor expectation management could be the problem here... Cheers, Sfinx.
I would say for the most part I enjoyed this but I also found it hard to get into. I don't know if was the language, the pace of the story or something else. I just think it was a bit slow developing, but I stuck with it and found it pretty enjoyable. Carl Alves
