Okay, I've finally finished this one, and I suppose I'm going to be in the grumpy minority again, but....
For me, Dodger really confirms what I've been dreading all along--that the deterioration of Pterry's writing skills, that, for me at least, has been evident since Unseen Academicals and was thoroughly manifested in Snuff, seems to be permanent. I do believe, as I've said before, that this decline has been due to Pterry's need to "dictate" books rather than type them, which tends to lead to verbosity, cluttered thoughts, and repetition. This and the fact that it appears the books Pterry writes on his own (not in collaboration) or that are not heavily edited (as his children's books are) suffer.
What Dodger is Pterry's attempt to write a Dickens novel, or specifically a variation of "Oliver Twist," that literally uses both the names of Dickens' characters (Dodge, Pip, and Dickens himself) and borrows from the plots of his works. Pterry seems to find this format--and the format of the Victorian novel itself, which he used in Snuff--suitable to his new dictating writing style. However, this format also carries the flaw of allowing its author to overwrite, overwrite, overwrite.
This is perhaps the first Pterry book where I've actually skipped whole paragraphs because they were full of repetitious exposition. How many times do we need to get explanations of the tosher's life? How many long-winded portrayals of characters who have less than a paragraph of 'action' do we need? Why do we need pages and pages of uninteresting trips to tailors and haberdashers? Why did the scene in the coroner's office have to go on endlessly? Why the unhealthy obsession with toilets, excrement and urine--which might have had a little bit of amusement in Snuff since pooh-collecting was young Sam's hobby, but here it's just vulgar and serves no purpose.
The plot here is as tired and cliched as a penny dreadful. Dodger is like the Sam Vimes of Snuff--indestructible, wily, with no flaws at all. Simplicity is a complete cipher; she's supposed to be deeper than she is, but there's nothing to her. We're supposed to believe that she's manipulating Dodger to achieve her goals, but she is such a weak character that, other than her looks, it's hard to imagine why someone as sharp and streetwise as Dodger would fall for her. The only memorable character in the book is Solomon, who Pterry's very carefully tries to craft as the "anti-Fagin," but even his monologues become long and boring after awhile.
And why do we even need the one chapter in the book without Dodger in it where the "mysterious villain" gives Sharp Bob his orders? It makes no sense, breaks up the continuity, and no other similar scene occurs.
This is also a book where even Pterry's footnotes don't make sense. Near the end, he puts in a footnote telling readers to go to Google to look up the meaning of the dog's name Onan--does he think we're all so stupid that this wouldn't occur to us? And why, when he's creating a novel that's supposed to immerse us in 19th century Britain, does he need to direct us to the Internet?
A good editor would have trimmed this by at least 50 pages, mainly by getting rid of the 'expository fat' that deadens its pace. Dickens was extremely good at exposition; he was also motivated to write more because he was a serial writer, and the longer the book, the more 'chapters' he could sell. Long-winded exposition has never been one of Pterry's strengths. In fact, one of his key strengths in the best DW books is that he knew how to write exactly enough, and to make sure that
every sentence counted. He has lost this ability, and his recent "solo" works are showing this.
If this were not written by Pterry, it probably would be considered an unmemorable, YA 'history-fantasy' book that would be quickly forgotten. Because Pterry's name is on it, it's given a higher level of scrutiny. But, that should also make any criticisms valid. It is still amazing that he can produce books in spite of his limitations. However, he is no different that any other writer whose work is published in that the work should be judged on its own merits (or lack thereof). Dodger may be an enjoyable read, but it's not a particularly original or good book.

Is using drones against terrorists cheaper than using special forces?Asked by The Universal Human and Civil Rights Union, from Brooklyn, New York
The Obama administration has increasingly relied on drones in its counterterrorist operations. And, as I explain in a recent CFR report, U.S. special operations forces are doing more things in more places than ever before. The heavy reliance on both drones and unilateral commando raids needs to be reassessed.

Conception Issues
Including Difficulty in Conception
Shamanic Treatment for Conception Issues using Secret Therapies of the Mayans. Traditional herbal tonics, ritual baths, spiritual cleansing and ancient hands-on massage.
An outline of the process and the requirements.
- You (or your partner) must need the "cure" and be willing to jump through a few hoops to get it.
- You (or your partner) will have probably tried one or more modern, scientific "cures" and be willing to try something else.
- It is strongly suggested that an MD examine you before your journey to the Yucatan and pronounce you physically fit.
- Depending upon the issue, you (and your partner) will will need to spent between five and ten days at Casa Hamaca.
- The cost of each "cure" includes one or more visits to the shaman or therapist, the cost of all of the herb packets (oral or topical application) as needed, bodywork and massage instruction as needed, a spacious room for you and your partner/friend, all meals, use of the pool, tours (including entrance fees) to various local attractions including Mayan ruins, colonial churches, cenotes, flamingos and markets.
- Tours will vary depending upon weather conditions and time of year.
There are no guarantees. Nor will you get one from a medical doctor.
All inclusive Conception Issues treatment package:
- airport transfers (Cancun or Merida) to and from Valladolid for two people.
- ten nights at Casa Hamaca Guesthouse including all meals for the client and a guest sharing the same room.
- transportation to and from shaman's village.
- shamanic treatment including all herbs, cleansings and bodywork.
- two days of local sight-seeing (Mayan ruins, colonial churches, cenotes, flamingos, etc. depending on time of year).
All inclusive cost for 10 nights: USD$4,000.
Contact Denis at firstname.lastname@example.com for further details
The Fine Print:
Here's the deal. No GPS, no cell phones with GPS tracking, no cars with GPS. Maybe even a blindfold. No way to track us. Once we leave Valladolid, we do NOT want you to know where you are going or where you have been. Video and still camers are OK. You cannot take any of the "cures" back home with you. You will need to take them or use them while at Casa Hamaca Guesthouse. Besides, taking plant material across international borders is risky business anyway. Why are we so adamant about this? We have heard too many stories of big pharmaceutical companies "discovering" a herbal cure that has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples and being granted a patient on the discovery. We also don't want these village shaman and herbalists to be sucked into some get-rich-quick marketing scheme. We have spent a lot of time and effort developing these relationships and we do not want to share them with big business.We do, however, wish to share what they can do.

Scabies is an itchy skin condition caused by a tiny burrowing mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. The presence of the mite leads to intense itching in the area of its burrows. The urge to scratch may be especially strong at night.
Scabies is contagious and can spread quickly through close physical contact in a family, child care group, school class or nursing home. Because of the contagious nature of scabies, doctors often recommend treatment for entire families or contact groups to eliminate the mite.
Take heart in that scabies is readily treated. Medications applied to your skin kill the mites that cause scabies and their eggs, although you may still experience some itching for several weeks.
Scabies signs and symptoms include:
The burrows or tracks typically appear in folds of your skin. Though almost any part of your body may be involved, in adults scabies is most often found:
In children, common sites of infestation include the:
Talk to your doctor if you have signs and symptoms that may indicate scabies.
Many skin conditions, such as dermatitis or eczema, are associated with itching and small bumps on the skin. Your doctor can help determine the exact cause and ensure you receive proper treatment. Bathing and over-the-counter preparations won't eliminate scabies.
The eight-legged mite that causes scabies in humans is microscopic. The female mite burrows just beneath your skin and produces a tunnel in which it deposits eggs. The eggs hatch in three to four days, and the mite larvae work their way to the surface of your skin, where they mature and can spread to other areas of your skin or to the skin of other people. The itching of scabies results from your body's allergic reaction to the mites, their eggs and their waste.
Close physical contact and, less often, sharing clothing or bedding with an infected person can spread the mites.
Dogs, cats and humans all are affected by their own distinct species of mite. Each species of mite prefers one specific type of host and doesn't live long away from that preferred host. So humans may have a temporary skin reaction from contact with the animal scabies mite. But people are unlikely to develop full-blown scabies from this source, as they might from contact with the human scabies mite.
Vigorous scratching can break your skin and allow a secondary bacterial infection, such as impetigo, to occur. Impetigo is a superficial infection of the skin that's caused most often by staph (staphylococci) bacteria or occasionally by strep (streptococci) bacteria.
A more severe form of scabies, called crusted scabies, may affect certain high-risk groups, including:
Crusted scabies tends to be crusty and scaly, and cover large areas of the body. It's very contagious and can be hard to treat.
Make an appointment with your family doctor or pediatrician if you or your child has signs and symptoms common to scabies.
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and know what to expect from your doctor.
Below are some basic questions to ask your doctor about scabies.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to talk about in-depth. Your doctor may ask:
In the time leading up to your appointment, try at-home and over-the-counter (OTC) remedies to help reduce itching. Cool water, antihistamines and calamine lotion may provide some relief. Ask your doctor what OTC medications and lotions are safe for your baby or child.
To diagnose scabies, your doctor examines your skin, looking for signs of mites, including the characteristic burrows. When your doctor locates a mite burrow, he or she may take a scraping from that area of your skin to examine under a microscope. The microscopic examination can determine the presence of mites or their eggs.
Scabies treatment involves eliminating the infestation with medications. Several creams and lotions are available. You usually apply the medication over all your body, from your neck down, and leave the medication on for at least eight hours. A second treatment is needed if new burrows and rash appear.
Because scabies spreads so easily, your doctor may recommend treatment for all family members and other close contacts, even if they show no signs of scabies infestation.
Medications commonly prescribed for scabies include:
Although these medications kill the mites promptly, you may find that the itching doesn't stop entirely for several weeks.
Doctors sometimes prescribe the oral medication ivermectin (Stromectol) for people with altered immune systems, for people who have crusted scabies, or for people who don't respond to the prescription lotions and creams.
Itching may persist for some time after you apply medication to kill the mites. These steps may help you find relief from itching:
To prevent re-infestation and to prevent the mites from spreading to other people, take these steps:

'Steps Through Time: Journeys in the Middle East'Event Details: March 10 - June 30, Pius XII Memorial Library
Photographer Thomas Oats' "Steps Through Time: Journeys in the Middle East" will be featured in an exhibit in the Pius XII Memorial Library, from Friday, Oct. 8 through Thursday, June 30, 2011.
The exhibit is located on the level 2 north wall of Pius Library.
An opening reception is scheduled from 2-4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 8. Refreshments will be provided.
About the photography
Though the Middle East is a place of major political and cultural conflict, these photographic images do not attempt to argue political or religious concerns, except on the broader issues of social justice.
They do document the warm humanity of peoples who are at times stereotyped for political reasons.
Serving as a witness to details of a culture in transition has long been an acknowledged role of documentary photography.
The photographic record produced in these and many other studies not only document a moment in culture but also express solidarity for the shared human values that unite people across the boundaries of culture and politics.
It is worth noting that these and many other significant documentary photographic studies combine written narrative as companion pieces to the photographic narrative. Together these pieces have created an ongoing narrative genre in our literature.
The exhibit is sponsored by the Ong Center and the English department

Unfortunately, Pomeroy refuses to cover morning show staples like celebrity gossip, weather, fashion and crafts -- let alone work with his new co-host, Colleen Peck, a former beauty queen and longtime morning show personality who is more than happy covering morning "news." As Mike and Colleen clash, first behind the scenes and then on the air, Becky's blossoming love affair with fellow producer, Adam Bennett begins to unravel -- and soon Becky is struggling to save her relationship, her reputation, her job and ultimately, the show itself.

Earth Explorer AlphaRex visits Antarctica!
You read the title correct. He's in Antarctica this time... Waaay down under at Davis Station! See the sites and read the news of his visit on LEGO MINDSTORMS' homepage. There's a bunch of interesting information about Davis Station out on the web. Maybe some of the particulars about this visit will be added in the comments.

Well done to Damo in Australia and everyone in the research ship and the base who helped out. This pretty much tops it all as far as the Global road trip is concerned!!
I wonder if the new AlphaRex that comes with NXT Version 2 is going to be this lucky!

Yes, that location is pretty cool indeed - Alpha Rex certainly comes around. :)
Only the deep blue sea might top this one; or the moon. ;)

By the way, Davis Station is a permanent base in Antarctica managed by the Australian Antarctic Division.
You can behold a lot of nice images here (there's also a webcam).

We should acknowledge Tony Worby (http://seaice.acecrc.org.au/people/tony.php), the voyage leader, who kindly agreed to take Alpha Rex on the trip to Antarctica on the Aurora Australis. Tony was responsible for taking those wonderful photos.
Next stop Tasmania!

...at Napoleon: Total War today...well it's what I tell myself. Anyhooooo, just popping by to say happy korn day to you all out there...but then you already knew what day it was, right? Of course you did O.o Oz
Marinade!! I think my brain wants more zzzzzzzzzz Happy tuesday or whatever...is it even tuesday? err...*shuffles off*
...because every day is a korn day hahaha =D
Kornfreak!!...ok it's almost 6am..what more do you want at this hour? O.o
*Ahem* I was having a David Silveria moment there. =) Resuming normal business....
Surely I'm not alone in this? Anyone?! *waves* hello Korn peeps. It appears I have jsut eaten breaskfast at 5pm. It's a good day. =D
So Kornspace.com jsut threw up a viral warning on my firefox...possibly something to do with all the self righteous ranting and sh@t talking that goes on in the catbox perhaps? ;)
I just caught myself wondering which Korn song would magically aid my digestion as I've stuffed my face with too much dinner....it was rather yum though... Still...any suggestions? hahaha
Sitting listening to 'One More Time' and wondering why more people didn't like this album. That break down and biuld up in the middle of this song is epic korn!!! Plus...I like how we few who are here already on the new site are posting like crazy...feels like a tight community...which is part of what Korn has always been about. I feel a watch of Who Then Now is on the cards....even if it...
Still buzzing from the Glasgow show, meeting my hero finally, getting that all important hug...only to have him refuse the hero status and apply it to me in return. Jonathan you are amazing.

A hands-on with a new "invisible" typing pad that hopes to wipe QWERTY from the face of the earth.
Snapkeys' "invisible" keyboard, with just four keys, makes virtual keyboards look old-school.
Part of the problem with using nav or infotainment systems is they take your eyes off the road. But could it be safer if the keyboard was integrated in the car's steering wheel?
Televisions powered by software services, augmented-reality apps, a QWERTY killer, and one program that's presiding over the unholy matrimony of Android and Windows 8 are the big hits of CES 2012.
What if all the hottest trends and products from this year's CES became part of our daily lives? Here's a look at the life you may be leading three years from now.

Clothing inserts - jjagged - 13-04-2012 09:59 AM
Hello soldiers!
I'll tell you about an exciting new feature we are currently working on that is scheduled for release this spring.
We are going to introduce apparel inserts, items you can put into slots in your clothing and that affect your performance on the battlefield. Imagine
These are some examples of what we could do, not final designs.
The inserts mainly give you better performance, but may also have drawbacks, so you'll get to choose how you want to play your character. Fast and agile or slower but with more protection?
The number of slots available on each clothing item will vary, depending on the unlock level of the item. But you may also get more slots for your favorite uniform if you don't want to change your looks.
At the same time as doing this functional change to the game, we are also changing how the apparel menu looks, so it will be more in line with the weapons menu. See this example screenshot from our web art director Tobias Holmgren (design is not 100% final, so the end result may change a bit).
Questions? Ask them here.
That is all, soldiers. Back to the fight!

four soldiers will cost like 250 000 P4Funds now.
I was so proud i had four soldiers, but i guess i have to abandon three of them now because i can no longer afford them.
First we have to buy clothes to get slots, and then we have to buy items to fill the slots with...and i assume it is all BFP4Funds only
Making more clothing slots ilke in BFH would be better (or at the very least split pants / jacket)
Also, how do you get two mouse cursors on one screen? Teach me, so i can kill two people at once ^^
(ps that they have a drawback is good. Else it would be really OP)
RE: Clothing inserts - Elit3kill3r - 13-04-2012 11:11 AM
will it be for funds only or what?
RE: Clothing inserts - eXchance9 - 13-04-2012 11:14 AM
i dont get it? so in the bags and other things you can add a booster in or what?

nice, but can you make this things visual so for example engineer with rpg, its more heavy and his rpg is on his back like this http://www.alexramon.com/images/misc/engineer.jpg
RE: Clothing inserts - CriscoSpectrum - 13-04-2012 11:35 AM
That is a lot of configuration abilities. But vehicle up/down -grades dont sound fitting with apparel.
I can imagine that the holster can boost you with more ammo, but there are also apparel without a pistol. Or the backpack allowing you to carry more weapons or whatever, but It's too much configuration for my taste. It just means I gotta spend more money to make my character better.
If this would go, It would probably work the same as weapons. An upgrade can be used on all apparel types. But why dont you make it work throughout the account. That you other soldiers can use it aswel, else this is just going to make the game too much Pay2win. It is already, I get that, but this is just going a bit too far.
Giving new apparel items some properties would be way cooler. Like buying a helmet which actually makes your attacker shoot your head twice in order to get a headshot. Or a uniform which makes you go slower but has also got a lot of kevlar. And this is also visually visible.

Uh, Central European Summer time started almost two weeks ago. You're already behind schedule.
Regardless, this looks quite exciting. When you mentioned a new feature in the profile page thread, this is probably the last thing I expected it to be.
How far will the customisation go? Will it be limited to speed / ammo capacity / armour, or will there be other factors that the inserts will affect?
Personally, I wouldn't mind sacrificing 10 HP to be able to move really fast. But as Crisco has alluded to, I have my concerns that this feature will suffer from the same blunt implementation that the attachment system did. I hope that you take your time working the kinks out of this and make sure that it's fair, otherwise we'll have another legacy attachments / +3 weapons rollback cluster-cuss on our hands again. And I don't think the game can recover from two of those so close together.
RE: Clothing inserts - cekoto - 13-04-2012 11:43 AM
I am also a little bit concerned about balancing issues and the fact that this will probably be only available for Funds. But this new system looks good and if it can be balanced this would be awesome
RE: Clothing inserts - TacticalS - 13-04-2012 11:43 AM
I sure hope this will be available for credits though. Otherwise this game will go to far in Pay2win in my opinion.
RE: Clothing inserts - Jeronimo - 13-04-2012 11:47 AM
Looks interesting, but pigs will fly before this will be fair and not for ridiculous price.

Well, looking out our window, spring has definitely started, but is in no way over. It's 6 degrees C and raining
We are looking at all sorts of modifiers, but will start small, adding new types of inserts over time.
We have avoided putting properties directly into clothes so that you can use the clothes you like and combine with the inserts that suit you.
The inserts will not be visual at this time, unfortunately.
RE: Clothing inserts - Strac.CRO - 13-04-2012 11:57 AM
"extra tank armor that absorbs damage but makes the tank go slower"
tank is already too weak = too slow, no splash damage, low ammo count in coax, low HP, weak AP shell
on topic:
it will be very hard to mix all that into one sensibly "whole", boosters, training skill, attachments, clothing inserts
I don't like it, although it means I could have CQC ammo + extra magazines etc.

That's a shame, but at least we're getting some new apparel. It's been a while.
Please be careful when implementing these changes. I'm sure you're aware of how potentially game-breaking they could be if handled badly.

aha, so will we get something new this month?
RE: Clothing inserts - SakuraKoi - 13-04-2012 12:07 PM
It´s always nice to see new features which helps each soldier to individualize him- or herself. I hope you will find the balance between our happiness, that these are available for Credits is a must, prices as low as the cheap attachments would be reasonable, and your gain, I expect permanent options in the range of cheap attachments as well
The Spring began for me a few weeks ago and Summer will start in a few months (June) so there is still time. jjaged refers to the ending of meteorological spring
btw, i hope you fix the Bug about Mods not being able to make a Poll. It´s really important and we did not see any bug fixes this year
RE: Clothing inserts - Healin4ev3r - 13-04-2012 12:10 PM
So we'll have to wear mismatch apparel stuffs to have most effect or similar, and pay more to "upgrade" low-level apparel pieces? Are you guys going to make this a RPG game?
And imagine a new "tier" of bugs that this "update" will cause.
Also "extra tank armor that absorbs damage but makes the tank go slower" on clothing?

Because he makes a living at sorting through the finances of failing companies, this turnaround specialist knows that the single most important approach for building new companies or salvaging dying ones is careful cash flow management. This entrepreneur writes on the balancing act and the pitfalls to avoid while managing your money.
It sounds like a privacy breach waiting to happen: Take some of your company's most classified information — employee records containing Social Security numbers, salaries — and put it on a bunch of remote servers that let you access the data via the public Internet.
Small business owners must become literate about their company's books without becoming accountants in order to deal with CPAs, keep on top of operations, and prevent fraud, says the co-founder of an accounting services firm.
Any entrepreneur who hopes to raise capital from individual investors, so-called "angels," should be properly prepared with a presentation, business plan, list of potential angels, and outline of the opportunity his or her new venture affords. The author explains that it's also important to avoid making such mistakes as allowing investors to have too large a stake in the enterprise. That could cause problems should the company fail, he writes, in an article filled with specific tips for dealing with these financiers.
Angel investors are funding companies at the seed and start-up stage, as venture capitalists retreat from that market, says an angel investor and former entrepreneur.
Women and minorities are offered tactics for honing their approach to angel investors, who are largely white and male, from an entrepreneur who consults in the field.
Angel investors have been banding together in groups, a development that benefits both the financiers and the companies they fund, says a former entrepreneur who chairs the nation's largest angel network.
Question: I've read a few articles and blog posts over the past couple of days regarding Senator Dodd's financial reform bill, and some of them suggest that it's going to be more difficult for startups to raise money if the bill is signed into law. Why is that? I thought the bill was supposed to address the problems on Wall Street that led to our financial crisis.
Bootstrapping is a tactic to help you spend less cash and therefore need less to operate your business. This article discusses ways to bootstrap your business operations.
Bootstrapping allows entrepreneurs to operate their startups with minimal investments from others, according to equity capital expert, Bill Payne. This allows entrepreneurs to postpone raising capital while their firms mature and retain ownership of their companies during that time.

Vortech 2010-2013 Chevy Camaro Supercharger
Vortech supercharging systems are available as either a complete, fully calibrated bolt-on (2010-2011 model years), or as V-7 tuner kits for custom installations at up to 1200HP (2011-2013 model years).
581HP Complete Systems (2010-2011)
Complete, fully calibrated supercharging systems are available for the 2010-2011 Camaro, featuring the V-3 Si centrifugal supercharger with air-to-air charge cooler. The complete system will boost your stock engine to 581 HP and 517 lb/ft torque with 7 PSI from the V-3 supercharger at the factory redline.
The new Camaro system uses Vortech's V-3Si supercharger. Continued development in Vortech's Lab resulted in the V-3 Si. The "i" stands for improved and with its new patented oil control system and state of the art centrifugal compressor stage this V-3 literally blows away the competition. Industry leading 78% adiabatic efficiency [SAE J1723 standard] means less heat is being generated, drive power is reduced and more net power is produced. Less heat means better durability. Also, Vortech's supercharger systems weigh less than half of the low-tech competing brands.
Vortech supercharger systems are a great value. Dollar for dollar, Vortech systems deliver more horsepower than virtually any other method of upgrade. Also, driven normally, gas mileage often increases rather than decrease.
Centrifugal superchargers easily make more pressure and flow than a roots type blower and are much more efficient. Read our Roots vs Centrifugal comparison to see the numbers.
Complete System Components and Features
Installation time is rated at 12-14 hours.
Download manual 4GE020-010v3.1 (PDF) for installation instructions.
Tuner Kits and Supercharger Options
Tuner kits are available for 2011-2013 Camaro.
Tuner kits are the same as complete systems except without the fuel system upgrades or ECM reprogramming. This allows for custom tuning and fuel modifications that the custom tuner or racer may prefer.Vortech has supercharger options for various types of racing or boost level. For continued use, such as road racing, the V-2 series superchargers share the engine's oiling system. This approach is more suitable for continued boost conditions and allows for the addition of an oil cooler or filter. Call the Vortech Tech Line for complete information on the many upgrades and options available.
Not Smog Legal in California
These systems are legal in California only for racing vehicles which may never be used upon a highway (off-road use only).
Warranty Information:
3-Year/36,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
Available with complete street legal systems sold and installed by a Vortech Top-Tier Installer. Not available with tuner kits. More information.
3-Year Supercharger Limited Warranty
Available with V-3 superchargers (if purchased as part of a complete street-legal system) for an additional $50.00. Note: Tuner kits are only eligible for a 1-Year Warranty. More information (PDF).
