Imperial Cat Cat Scratchers let your cat keep scratching without destroying your furniture!
Imperial Cat Cat Scratchers give your cat his own spot to hang out, which means he'll never be at a loss for somewhere to scratch! Every time your cat sinks his claws into your furniture, he is satisfying an instinctual need to scratch. Scratching allows your cat to hone his claws, stretch his muscles and relieve stress. Cats also scratch to "mark" their home turf –with every scratch, special glands in the pads of his paws release a scent that makes your house smell like home sweet home. In the wild, trees are the preferred scratching post, but indoors, trees are often replace by home furnishings and your sweet kitty can turn into a terrible nuisance. Imperial Cat Cat Scratchers will make both you and your cat happy!
Imperial Cat Cat Scratcher's unique, eco-friendly design, is sure to be a hit with you and your cat! The honeycomb texture mimics the feel of natural tree bark, so cats will instinctively choose to sink their claws in for some serious shredding. Plus it's made from 100% recyclable corrugated cardboard and 100% recycled paper.
As an added bonus, each scratcher includes a bag of Certified Organic Catnip that encourages healthy play and will keep your cat coming back for more.

It's SCRIPT-CLOBBERIN' TIME!!!
It seems as if there might be problem at the Baxter Building. The relaunch of the live action Fantastic Four franchise is getting some rewrites. The Hollywood Reporter is stating that Simon Kinberg has been brought in to re-write the film. Josh Trank still remains the director but, Kinberg will revamp the screenplay.
Simon Kinberg is currently a producer and writer for the Star Wars Rebels animated series. His screenplay credits include the 2008 version of Sherlock Holmes and the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past. Adding him to the writing staff can only be a sign of the film heading in the right direction.
What fans may not like is that the Fantastic Four movie is scheduled for March 16, 2015. That release date may get changed.

I was hoping Fox would team up with Sony for this and include a Spidey cameo, but this will not happen because Movie execs are a bunch of joyless, money grabbing bastards who... oh fuck it, who cares!!!!!!!???
Kingberg is the same person who wrote the screenplay for XMen DOFP!? Are we talking Fantasctic Four and X-Men cinematic crossover, finally!!??!!? :-D
I'm still hoping Fox lets this property revert back to Marvel. With the X-Men alone they have plenty of material to build on. The Fantastic Four however would be more at home interacting with the rest of the MCU than the X-Men.
I read somewhere else some rumor that if they're not into actual filming production by some time next year the FF would go back to Marvel. I don't think it likely that Fox is going to let that happen but one never knows
I hope they change their minds on a "black" Human Torch. I don't understand why they want to take 50 year old characters and try to change their race. Especially since the Storms are brother and sister. That to me just does not make since. Nick Fury I can see since the movie version is basiclly the ultimate Fury who was black in the comic.
Well the Daredevil remake had a script and a director lined up and were about to start casting. But then the script was tossed out, then the director walked. Fox asked for an extension on the rights but were basically told not just no but hell no. Then a few months later the rights lapse back to Marvel. So I doubt Fox will let that happen with the FF.
Give it up Fox and give the FF4 back to Marvel. Nuff said. Maybe someday even the X-men will go back to Marvel. One can dream, right?
I am actually coming to terms with the fact The Marvel Cinematic Universe won't have Spidey or Wolverine and Co., But I would STILL prefer FF teams up with Spidey and NOT Fox's X-Men, they are based in Manhattan just like Spider-Man and there is a real sense of history between them, that could work nicely...
I think I'm the only guy on the planet that actually liked the original FF movies from 2005 & 2007. I feel lonely...

What do you think of the
Louis Garneau C-Cycling Socks
? Share a...
First item from Louis Garneau that doesn't work for me
Let me start by stating that Louis Garneau has long been my brand of choice for most of my cycling apparel. So, I had no reservations when buying these socks. I just received these yesterday and tried them on briefly. Here are my first impressions:
- The material is very comfortable and feels like high quality
- The Small is still too loose for providing any type of compression (as compared to other ones from Capo or Oakley that I've also bought from RC).
- The front seams fall right below the tip of my toes, which is very uncomfortable. I could not imagine wearing that on a ride.
I would rather an exchange rather than a refund, but I'm not sure if that is the norm for LG socks. Too bad because the look and feel of the material would have made it one of my favorites.
Compression Race Sock
This is a good Compression Sock for race or training days, just make sure you oder a size small of what ever you normal wear

Gnome 3.8 brings back classic Gnome 2.x design, implemented as a shell.
But to be honest, Gnome 3.6 is already the best desktop I've ever used on Linux, thus far. I hate Gnome 2.x and I still think KDE4 is superb. But Gnome 2 would be a massive step backwards, IM(very)HO.
I do think that tiling in Gnome 3 can be taken a step further, still.
I also wonder what basic functionality is lost... Middle click to minimize, windows-key for search and overview and task-tray, ALT-F4 to close (should be Ctrl+middle mouse click, but that can be adjusted), windows+up is maximize, windows+left/right is tiling, windows+down is 'un-maximize'. Also; press Enter to slide the lockscreen. Workspaces are dymanic and Ctrl+Alt+down/up is switching workspaces. Best of all maybe is more screen real-estate, less visual noise and a notification-design that doesn't distract me like fsck.
Suspend to RAM is simply Alt+clicking on shutdown button.
If you like Gnome 2 and if you are convinced Gnome 3 axes functionality; you're just dumb and like to live in the past. This is minimalism that for the first time convinced me that less can actualy be more.
It's faster than Gnome 2 and usage of OpenGL 1.x is perfect, since it works perfectly with the open drivers. No longer are there any WM glitches when playing an OpenGL game in full screen and using compoziting window management at the same time.

Link to prove how great the design of Gnome Shell is:
* menus on windows is a hack
* no Gtk widgets in gnome shell because gnome shell == window manager
-> the "proper" design already contains hacks and is still quite limited in its use.
Such restrictions don't exist in plasma.
I see you are VERY HUMBLE. In your "IM(very)HO" everyone that thinks Gnome 3 axes functionality is dumb. Nice...
Let me tell you that all this funcionality you described in your post, is absolutely basic. It is funcionality for the casual desktop use case. Like we said many times ago. When you find a way to work with many windows in a sane manner in Gnome 3, post again to tell us...
I currently have 8 windows open on two workspaces. One workspace for general browsing, email and music. One for the work I am currently doing (currently a text editor, a browser, and an IDE). If I work on more than one thing I put that on a separate workspace as well.
Switching task is now a simple matter of CTRL-ALT-<up/down> or <Super> to switch via the overlay.
Switching between windows is either <ALT>-<TAB> or <Super>.
It works very well.
So let me ask you one thing and one thing only:
Wasn't the same thing possible with GNOME 2? Workspaces are old...
Plus, what you said isn't solving the major problems of Gnome Shell... My problem is not dividing applications to separate workspaces... It is too much work everytime to try to make the shell behave in a manner that is productive when you want to use multiple windows...
Sure they were. But that's not the question you asked.
And, personally I feel I make better use of workspaces now than before.
And I just said I have no problem using multiple windows. There's five of them on my current workspace. Three on the other. And I switch heavily between them.Plus, what you said isn't solving the major problems of Gnome Shell... My problem is not dividing applications to separate workspaces... It is too much work everytime to try to make the shell behave in a manner that is productive when you want to use multiple windows...
No, sorry, I don't see the problem.

This article has nothing to do with the any kernel, nothing to do with graphics drivers, mesa, OpenGL, games, audio, networking, filesystems... NONE OF IT.
The only reason this article exists is because he probably found himself surprised by the fact that Canonical seems to be moving so quickly with Mir as they are, and he even wrote an article about that very thing earlier today, only to finish off the article with saying that it couldn't possibly work anyway for no particular reason. And now, in order to save his face and insist that Canonical never finishes anything, he pulls up a project that is actually complete and needs no further maintenance, and which has really been replaced by Git in most respects anyway, and tries to use that as a justification for his viewpoint.
It's okay to criticize Canonical, but this isn't critique. This is slander.
EDIT: And I find it incredibly hypocritical coming from the guy who cried foul for Canonical slandering Wayland. It's one thing to be clueless, it's a completely different thing to be a deliberate hypocrite.

I'd just listened to all 60 whiny wheedling ear-bleeding hours of Atlas Shrugged, so hearing Snyder's manly voice, narrating for an impossible super-hero who uses current colloquialisms like '*sshat' and 'sh*tstorm' was extremely refreshing. If you're expecting a story where the protagonist needs a Dora the Explorer band-aid, and a group hug after every bruise he receives, you may want to pass this book by. The Gray Man is definitely the epitome of the a-hole hero that walks away from explosions without looking back.
I play high impact sports and work at a gym, and can say honestly that I'll take a handful of big bruises and cuts over muscle soreness any day, so it always bothers me when the men in a book can't seem to suck it up. A very fun read, very fast pace, I highly recommend.
"This cake is just a brick of fondant"
I really don't know what's happening with this series. When I started it, I was hoping it would be another Molly Harper or Darynda Jones. Book 1 & 2 were fast-paced and coherent enough to keep my attention. Book 3 required some of the characters to pull a nefarious 180 personality shift to even make sense. Book 4 was fun, but the storyline was shaky and disjointed.
Now book 5. I don't even see a plotline here. The story is stuck on a wash cycle where Kara gets hurt physically, metaphysically or emotionally (and often self-inflicted) in a splash gore horror movie kind of way, sleeps, eats, chuckles, 'finds herself' in compromising situations (like getting woken up in the bath), demands attention for having been hurt, has flashbacks of being a 'silly girl', more chuckling and/or sleeping. Makes out with people she barely knows after having professed her love for a man that cares for her in a Tarzan heart Jane kind of way, because she's an adult and that makes it okay.
The demon plane has almost no human females on it, and (as far as we know) no demonic lord females. These lords are supposed to be super manipulative ancient masterminds locked in an eternal power struggle. So I don't understand why they're bending over backwards to humor the main character. It's like Kara got thrown into an Oscar Meyer factory during an earthquake. And she doesn't even spare a thought about not having a job when she gets back. Or if her friends will get through some of the bad juju that's been going down earth-side without her. Shes becomes barely cognitive enough to dress and feed herself.
For no reason, Kara makes out with a demonic lord who she KNOWS is sleeping with another person, while Mzatal eavesdrops via potency... Which is awkward... And all around wtf-ish?... Kara is also supposed to be in her late twenties, which means she's almost old enough to be the teenage summoner she's training alongside's mother. And she starts 'innocently noticing' how ripped he is while she's playing Peeping Tom on his workout. That's what did it. I only had four hours and forty minutes left when I had to pull my earplugs out and turn the book off.
I hate not finishing a book, but I just can't force myself to listen to anymore. I was already just trying to slog through because I am so far against a lot of her life choices, and question a lot of her decisions, but I'm not about to listen to her make out with some kid or string him along.
And having all your characters chuckle automatically at every glimpse of humor, is like laughing enthusiastically at your own wit in a conversation before anyone's had a chance to process the joke. There's a reason comedic authors almost never allow their characters to react to humor unless its to respond with another joke. Read Terry Pratchett. A book is supposed to be the ultimate straight man. You have to let the audience respond to the humor in their own time.
I'm probably going to return this book if I can. If you are okay with a woman 'sleeping with whoever she wants when she wants, no matter what that person's relationship status, or age might be', you probably won't be bothered by this book and it will advance the storyline I guess. I'm a sexual curmudgeon; if I know someone is in a relationship, or doesn't know what a gameboy is, I don't touch. If you want to continue the series but don't want your imagined version of Kara to Charlaine Harris out, I'd recommend skipping past this book and just reading some of the spoiler reviews on Goodreads to piece together what happened here.
"An incredible ride."
I can't imagine all the research that went behind writing Stephenson's Reamde, but it's an incredible looping ride. It takes it's time, it could definitely be classified as an 'epic' fiction, as Stephenson uses deliberate extrapolation and minute details to explain some of the more unlikely scenarios in the novel. There are many scenes that are made, in my opinion, unmanageably realistic, especially toward the end, which drags the story on.
It hit close to home when one of the characters are revealed as a child of Sudan. One of my best friends growing up turned out to be adopted from Sudan, and I never knew until he gave a speech for a community college I attended, years later. He lost his entire family, and the details of his march aren't my business to share, but he never mentioned it, he did his best to move on, and made the most of his life, which is a really cheesy and harsh thing to say. When you dwell on your problems, you're only inviting them to continue to hurt you. A lot of North American kids could learn a valuable lesson from him, and from Zula.
I almost wanted to say Stephenson tried to write the Richard Forthrast as a genius level asperger spectrum, but it's actually really doubtful. The way he organizes his life, and his detachment from reality was probably written this way to detail the repercussions on his personality from years of experience with T'Rain, and from managing a huge industry at it's foundation level.
Overall it's truly a great story, and I've listened to it twice since I bought it, although I usually don't repeat huge novels unless I'm reaaally head over heels for them. I don't recommend trying to quote any of the anthropological fiction-facts without at least a Wikipedia trek.
A lot of the research behind Reamde is sound, such as flying low to get under the radar, and wangbas. Some of the research may be true, but is more opinionated, such as the differences between Go and Chess. But, all of it together gives you a small glimpse into what it may be like to grow up in another country, and the culture shock even open minded youths come across when removed from their accustomed environment. The circumstances that carry the story are as likely as winning the lottery, several times, in the same year, and the plot at times gets hair thin, but with Stephenson's deliberation, it's easy to accept the looping piecemeal situations as a more likely scenario then some of the easy answer fast fire action novels.
This book is sticky, and the humanitarian lessons will keep with you long after the epilogue. It's entertaining and masterfully written, and to be honest it was a relief getting a break from novels where the hero uses his arsenal of one-liners to punctuate explosions.
"An interesting reference to Philip K Dick's novel"
I loved Blade Runner, and Do Android's Dream of Electric Sheep, so I was pretty excited to hear this novel, and it didn't disappoint. It wasn't my favorite Scalzi, but it was pretty original. The story starts out vulgar, and I was regretting my purchase with all the flatulence, arterial congestion, and bursting things. Frankly, it may turn you green, until the meat of the story really starts.
Although I could see where certain parts of the story would go, the girl was a creative and viable surprise. Not his strongest story, he uses a few deus ex machinas, but Scalzi is a master of science fiction, and I haven't been disappointed with his work yet. His characters are fun and adaptable. The story keeps a good pace. The alien incarnation representing all of our negative characteristics from the obvious to the subtle, was well thought out. The aliens remain dynamic, yet have built their society around all of our major failings. The Nidu are like a crystal ball showing us what would happen if we let Wal-Mart fashion legal doctrine for the entire world.
"Holy Velvet Jesus Painting, My Jimmies Are Rustled"
This book is better written then David Wong's last novel, John Dies At The End. Which was a fun read. Unlike his last, when the plot ambles, it's more on purpose, concise, cleaner, and he doesn't use periods of gross out horror slapstick to cover weak points in the story. There's still gross out horror, but it's intuitive. I mean, it's a book about sentient spiders. Uggghhuuuhhuuherr Blahhhh, my skin is crawling!
I can't remember the last time I was wide awake at 4 AM glaring at shadows in my room, certain that they would suddenly move. Maybe when I was eight? Or since the last time I watched Army of Darkness?
Don't judge. It was scary. I normally don't like horror, but when you get midway through this book you almost have to keep listening, you have to have the narrator tell you that the spiders are taken care of, and that everything will be okay. It's that well written. This book was like a literary roller coaster, terrifying, with just the right kind of humor and humanity to make it exciting. There are some really good intuitions of the human condition, including Wong's take on the Babel Effect, without getting too preachy. The alternate point of views is really interesting, as you get to see situations from every perspective. I would definitely recommend this book.
""Really Funny!" She said."
Scalzi still uses 'said' for nearly every exchange of dialogue, which will drive some people really nuts. It's the elephant in the living room for this book. If you don't zero in on it, you might never notice.
Personally, I LOVED the comedy, speed, and pitch of the banter. The first five hours are a huge laugh, with some earnest drama and important life lessons sprinkled in, from first to last. The star trek references are so very classic. And the dramatic pauses and high school theater way the officers make exchanges, then automatically switch to normal speech when not on point. So funny!
This was my first book with this author, and it had me moving happily on to Android's Dream, Agent to the Stars, Fuzzy Nation, and the Old Man's War series. A great find! Fixation on the word 'said' or no.
"Can't wait for the rest of them!"
These books really are fantastic!
The beginning of Deadhouse Gates might confuse people following the series. It starts with the Culling in Malazan during the Season of Rot. The story then switches to, among other things, the Rising of the Whirlwind in the Raraku desert, the incarnation of the Sha'ik, the Malaz 7th Army in Seven Cities, and best of all, the meanderings of Icarium and Mappo.
There's more Icarium and Mappo banter! Eeeehehee!
... ...
It's an intricate epic fantasy, and although it will be kind of sort of possible to pickup at Deadhouse Gates (Book 2) without reading Gardens of the Moon (Book 1), you will miss some important plot points which will give the storyline more depth. I would not recommend jumping around in this series. To appreciate it, it's really best to stick to the sequence. Erikson cross references some of his major plot twists from book to book, sometimes, but if he recapped every small plot progression or significant back story between each book, by Crippled God, we would have to flip to chapter twenty three before we were ready to move on with the story. There really is a lot going on, and it's so inter-woven. You may not pick up on everything the first listen through, but again, the story gets so crazy, and Erikson's writing style is so incredibly lyrical, it's still a fun read, and worth listening too, again.
Listening to the audible version breaks everything down into more easily understandable portions, but don't be intimidated if something zips by you. There's even a Malazan Wiki set up to help. This book really has everything, shape changers, solid battle scenes, sun-dried ears, power struggles, senile old erudites, conflicting cultural taboos, pit quarries, resentful convicts, weird drugs, sea monsters, sand.
I can't wait for Midnight Tides! I really hope they keep these coming.
"He didn't even turn into a golden swan."
I agree with the reviews that are put off by the infatuation of teenage pregnancy. Orson Scott Card's books often come across as a pedantically cyclical read, so when the topic get's brought up, suddenly all the teenage girls in the story are obsessed with it in the same very disturbing and stupefied way. Grabbing at men's waists and demanding men 'put their baby inside me,' was an approach my mother must have missed. It's incredibly insulting to young women that this is how their teenage interests are portrayed. Really think about your teenage experience, and try to count on one hand the number of girls in your school, who would do this, and throw themselves at boys like this.
The dialogue is all in the same kidney, this adds to the cycling feeling of the book. It could almost be one person arguing with them self. The sentence structure, word usage, lines of thought, etc. cohere so that there are some golden opportunities for OSC's brand of humor, but it's not often believable that you are listening to several people talk, just one man's interpretation of a conversation.
OSC tackles Christianity, and a lot of other religions, legends, and myths, in this book. I'm not religious, but if you are, fair warning, he reinterprets the big J into his canon. Neil Gaiman did this in American Gods, then went back and edited him out, and it probably saved him some angry readers.
Stefan Rudnicki has a super creaky deep voice, like someone is opening and shutting an old door. Emily Rankin tried to match his voice in this book, which made her voice croak and crack. And to get what they are saying, you can't just dim the volume until you can just barely hear the words. The croaking is still loud before the words fuzz out. It's okay in the short term, but after a few hours it starts to hurt. When I took my ear buds out, I couldn't hear all that well for a few days.
The storyline is original. The plot twists aren't too severe. The book ambles, but it stays pretty cut and dry sequential. It'll be great for a solid OSC fan, but it's not Ender's Game.
"Office Space rewritten by Disney"
A fun book. An interesting take on religion, benign, not heavy or preachy. Definitely funny, and strangely atheist friendly. There is some extrapolations on humanitarianism, but it stays in the shallow end. A novel approach to the relationships and mythos of deities and their followers.
Divine Misfortune is one of those books that's easy to relate with. A good pick me up listen after your car breaks down, or your boss yells at you. Lucky struck me as kind of douchey Raoul Duke (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,) but perhaps that was intentional.
"The legalese is convincing."
This was an engaging remake of the old story.
There were some changes to make Jack Holloway work better with Scalzi's writing style. Scalzi still uses 'he/she/they said' to express every change in dialogue, which can get annoying, if you zero in on it. I didn't really notice it that often, and it wasn't as obvious as in his Old Man's War series.
Throughout the book Scalzi is careful to use Holloway's actions and words to describe his character. You aren't force fed his every thought, which is both a huge relief, but since Holloway is so manipulatively devious, it leaves enough mystery to unfolding events to create doubts on how the space opera plays out.
The little Davids trying to stick it to the industrial corporate Goliath is a delight, and one that will be easy for a lot of today's readers to empathize with.
"Rob Inglis should make a LotR Songs Soundtrack"
Wow! WOW! This was so much happier then the other LotR books! And there's so much compacted into the story.
Now I can see why they are making this into three movies, it WILL take that long to go in depth on the battle of five armies, and the necromancer back-story, and so on. And the MUSIC! If you loved the singing dwarves in the movie, then you WILL LOVE Inglis's take on each of the songs Tolkien's written in the Hobbit. His voice is so deep and rich.
I was hopping up and down at work, grinning madly, every time I heard Inglis start singing. Even if you've already read the Hobbit, experiencing it audibly, especially with Inglis's narration, is not something to pass up.
I urge you to listen to this book, you will not regret it!
