White-throated Mountain-gem - (Lampornis castaneoventris) is a hummingbird which breeds in the mountains of western Panama. It is replaced in southern Costa Rica by a distinct subspecies, the Gray-tailed Mountaingem, L. castaneoventris cinereicauda, which is very close to becoming a distinct species (García-Moreno et al., 2006). Another very close relative, the Purple-throated Mountaingem, is found sympatrically.

Bay Commercial Bank Reports Third Quarter 2013 Results WALNUT CREEK, Calif., Oct. 18, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Bay Commercial Bank (OTCQB:BCML) (the "Bank") today announced its third quarter 2013 operating results. The Bank reported total assets as of September 30, 2013 of $327.2 million including loans outstanding of $252.7 million compared to September 30, 2012 total assets of $316.5 million and total loans outstanding of $235.5 million. At September 30, 2013, total deposits were $268.3 million compared to total deposits of $263.1 million at September 30, 2012. The Bank's net operating income for the third quarter 2013 was $634,000 or $0.13 per share compared to net income for the same period in 2012 of $742,000, or $0.15 per share. The decrease in net operating income for the third quarter 2013 compared to the same period in 2013 was comprised primarily of higher operating costs. For the first nine months of 2013, the Bank reported net income of $1,901,000 compared to net income of $1,531,000 for the same period in 2012. For the most recent nine month period, the net income to shareholders was $0.39 per share, compared to $0.32 per share for the same period of 2012. The increase in operating income for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012 was primarily the result of lower provisions for loan losses partially offset by higher operating expenses in 2013 as compared to 2012.The lower provision is the result of improving credit quality and the higher operating expenses are related to the cost of certain operational enhancements implemented in 2013. George J. Guarini, Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, stated, "2013 has been a year of change at the Bank.We relocated our headquarter office and main branch, implemented certain data processing enhancements and enhanced our risk management process.We continue to be optimistic about the economic environment and improving credit quality, and I believe we are prepared to continue expanding our market share." Mr. Guarini added, "We have regulatory approval of our stock repurchase program and will begin repurchasing up to 5% of the Bank's outstanding common stock on Monday, October 21, 2013.This should improve the Bank's book value and earnings per share."

Lucy Williams
Posted by henry in Author: Lucy Williams, Publisher: Roads, Subject: Lucy Williams on April 20, 2015
Lucy Williams' work is very specific. She produces collages (which she calls "reliefs") inspired by modern architecture – building profiles as well as some interior spaces. Some of these give, possibly deliberately, the impression of architects' concept drawings, but the inclusion of more realistic environments – sparse, but believable – adds a sense of serenity that is at odds with the often Brutalist nature of her subject. Where the concept drawing would include people to give a token sense of scale and humanity, they are completely missing from Williams' pieces and this somehow seems give a greater sense of their place in a real world than does the technical vision. There is no doubt that they are works of art and not mere representations of form.
In this surprisingly mesmerising book, the works are placed alongside period photographs of buildings, some of which no longer exist, that inspired the works illustrated.

Patrick George || Andrew Lambirth
Posted by henry in Author: Andrew Lambirth, Author: Patrick George, Publisher: Sansom & Company, Subject: Patrick George on April 20, 2015
I described Patrick George elsewhere as the best artist you've never heard of. This is largely because he is better known as a teacher – he was at the Slade, ending up as Professor and Director – for forty years.
With his efforts directed elsewhere, Patrick is not a prolific painter, but what he lacks in quantity is more than made up for in quality and, above all, selectivity. Such works as there are have been painted because the artist has something to say about the subject rather than simply because it was there. Patrick's views are interesting: his portraits generally address the viewer, though in a uncommenting and uncomplaining way. His landscapes are similarly what falls within his purview and give a sense of what is there, rather than what has been presented as being there. It's a difficult concept to get across, but it helps to imagine looking out of (say) a window without turning your head or raising or lowering your eyes. What you see (and what we see) is what you get. It's a thoroughly honest approach.
The result is an overwhelming sense of calm which, if you've met Patrick or seen the excellent DVD (see the link above) made about his work, he himself conveys. I asked him about this at the launch of this excellent and perceptive book and his reply was that he paints what he likes – meaning, I think, the things he likes rather than what he cares to paint. If he was your teacher, you feel that his criticism, while sharply perceptive, would always be constructive.
This is a thorough and comprehensive look at Patrick George's work, life and working methods. It sets him in the context of the School of London group of painters, which includes Lucian Freud, Frank Auerbach and Euan Uglow – all of them, interestingly, about as different from Patrick as could be imagined, yet all friends, colleagues or supporters. As a proportion of the artist's work, the number of illustrations is a high one and represents both portraiture and landscapes as well as the serendipitous objects (including wallpaper) that Patrick chooses.
Whether you know, or want to know about Patrick George, it's simply a joy to handle.

A Life's Work – the art of Evelyn Williams || Anthony Perry
Posted by henry in Author: Anthony Perry, Publisher: Sansom & Company, Subject: Evelyn Williams on April 20, 2015
Evelyn Williams' work is almost exclusively figurative. These are not portraits, however, or, mostly, representations of real people. Rather, they are often-repeated puppet-like shapes that represent an emotional state or a part of humanity. They can be amusing, disturbing, quizzical or sometimes calm and reassuring, but they always demand attention. Titles, such as Crowd, Portrait of an Anxious Man or When We Dead Awake, are important and provide context.
This is a comprehensive and large-format retrospective that amply fulfils the brief of its main title, A Life's Work, carrying with it the sense not merely of a collection, but a corpus. The accompanying text is not the more usual monograph, but rather a series of appreciations by owners, critics and fans. This is right as Evelyn Williams' work prompts, indeed demands, an emotional rather than an intellectual or academic response.

Cornish Light – the Nottingham 1894 Exhibition Revisited || David Tovey & Sarah Skinner
Posted by henry in Author: David Tovey, Author: Sarah Skinner, Publisher: Sansom & Company, Subject: Art History on April 20, 2015
The 1894 Nottingham Castle exhibition of Cornish painters was, in its way, ground-breaking. It brought a burgeoning new style and range of subjects to a much wider public and fostered awareness of painters from Newlyn, St Ives and Falmouth.
Much of the work was, in typical Victorian style, both art and social commentary and much of it is romanticised – craggy-faced fishermen gaze knowingly towards the horizon and the young women working on the shore have suspiciously lustrous complexions. There are didactic elements, too, with school-room scenes that reek of "improvement" and an air, once you notice it, of condescension. This sounds like criticism and, in a way, it is. Don't think, though, that I don't like Victorian painting. I love its social recording and commentary; I know I have to read between the lines and I'm prepared to do so.
For that reason, I find this a book to treasure and the project that revived the original exhibition, both at Nottingham and the Penlee House Gallery in Penzance, thoroughly worthwhile. Collecting as many of the original paintings together as curator David Tovey has managed to won't have been an easy task and it inevitably leads you to want more. 1894 saw over 200 works by 50 artists.
This book, which accompanies the present project, reproduces an excellent selection of works and gives a feel for the exhibition for anyone unable to visit. It also painstakingly catalogues all the original works and includes chronological information about the artists. It's an excellent record although, from a purely artistic point of view, I'd have liked more pictures and fewer words. That's not really fair though, as there are other books which will do this and the current one would be something other than it sets out to be.

Cy Twombly Late Paintings 2003-2011 || Nela Pavlouskova
Posted by henry in Author: Nela Pavlouskova, Publisher: Thames & Hudson, Subject: Cy Twombly on April 20, 2015
My current bedside reading is a biography of JMW Turner and I'm nearly at the end. There's considerable discussion, reflecting what was said at the time, about whether his creative powers were fading (he was 75, a figure which is significant here), as sharp as ever, or even entering a new quasi-golden age.
Cy Twombly is, as I've remarked previously, a challenge. His work is absolutely non-representational and, consisting as it does mainly of what appear to be completely random shapes, is less than easily categorised as abstract either, if you accept that the term "abstract" refers to something abstracted, or drawn out from, a recognisable form.
Now, here's the thing. In 2003, when this book begins, oh best beloved, Cy Twombly was 75. Whatever you think of his art, and even if you don't understand it, there's no doubting the vitality that's here. You have to look at the captions to get the sheer size (98 x 74 inches isn't uncommon), but the explosion of brilliant colour is unmissable. No book can really capture the expansive sweep of the shapes, but you do get a sense of the confidence of the artist. These are not the tentative strokes of a man trying to recover old glories, but rather the statements of someone whose previous work could almost be said to be a preparation for this moment. As well as the detractors, there were those who said the same of Turner, that his brilliant colours were not the result of fading eyesight (though Turner may well have been suffering from cataracts), but of a man whose inner vision was clearer than ever.
I'm still not a Twombly convert, but I can certainly see his greatness.

The Curator's Handbook || Adrian George
Posted by henry in Author: Adrian George, Publisher: Thames & Hudson, Subject: Curating on April 20, 2015
This is one of those useful guides to good practice in those fields that are becoming increasingly professionalised. There was a time (and it may have been a very long time ago) when setting up an exhibition meant little more than hiring a space and renting some display panels. The term "curator" was applied more to museums than exhibitions.
Nowadays, there are all kinds of regulations, Health and Safety and insurance to consider, as well as responsibilities to exhibit owners and to visitors, who will expect more than an amateurish experience.
Adrian George is well-qualified to be your guide, having completed the RA's prestigious Curating MA and worked at the New Museum in New York, Tates Modern and Liverpool and being currently employed as Deputy Director of the UK Government Art Collection.
This is a thorough and authoritative guide that will fulfil the needs of even the most demanding reader.

Sketch! || France Belleville-Van Stone
Posted by henry in Author: France Belleville-Van Stone, Medium: Drawing, Medium: Sketching, Publisher: Watson Guptill, Subject: Sketching on April 20, 2015
Subtitled "the non-artist's guide to inspiration, techniques, and drawing daily life", this is a rather delightful book packed with fun, inspiration and ideas. The text is somewhat anecdotal and is probably best dipped into, stopping when you see something that interests you, rather than reading through. It's as much an observation of life (and, sometimes, a statement of the obvious) as anything else. Nevertheless, France is an engaging writer and you'll find as much to divert you here as you will in the drawings, which are eclectic and varied. There are objects, shapes, still lifes, colours, hatching, people, buildings – well, everything you see as you make your way through daily life. If this was a website, it would be a life-log, and it's none the worse for that.

Gallery to Feature Centuries of New Mexico Maps
"From the earliest Spanish explorers to Texas tourists, New Mexico was made for maps.
Visitors to "Between the Lines: Culture and Cartography on the Road to Statehood" can trace the state's route from territory to vacation destination at the Governor's Gallery beginning Thursday.
More than geography, maps document historic development as well as the political, economic, social, cultural and scientific circumstances across generations. To celebrate the state's 100th anniversary, the exhibition showcases 25 maps from the mid-16th century to the present. These documents represent the periods of the Spanish Entrada, the Mexican-American War, the Civil War and the New Mexico Constitutional Convention.
Curator Merry Scully has divided the exhibition into four themes: land, boundaries, territory and statehood. Culled from both state and private collections, the maps tell the stories of the land and its changing political and physical definitions, of its native people and the arrival of and interactions with Europeans."

According to AAA, more than 36 million Americans will pack their bags and set out on a weekend getaway, family visit, or long-awaited vacation this holiday weekend. Some will travel by plane and some by car, but, according to AAA, most everyone will feel a slight budgetary squeeze over last year's travel pricing. Recently, the organization put out a guide that informs travelers of travel price increases over the last year, and then handed some nifty references over to them to help them plan their time on the road or in the sky. Here's a breakdown of some of the information released. [Read more…]
Travel insurance leaves those with mental health issues without recourse
What do you do when your illness isn't recognized as such by a travel insurance company, even after you've paid them for your policy and booked your vacation? Not much, apparently, at least that's the message one New York resident was faced with when she tried to submit a claim last fall. [Read more…]
Four places to consider a trip to in 2014
Every traveler has glanced through at least a few lists describing the most amazing travel destinations. These lists don't seem to change much, proclaiming the magnificence of the pyramids, the romance of the Eiffel Tower, or the bustle of Times Square.
However, sometimes we forget the ever-changing nature of our world. There is no denying the majesty of wonders of the world, but what about the inexplicable energy of a city in transformation or the rebirth of a country after being ravaged by natural disaster? [Read more…]
The Idi Amin tourism trail is a very unique tourist attraction
For travelers who are looking for destinations that are way off the beaten path, the idea of touring Africa is particularly enticing. It's not just the safari circuit or Morocco either- the tourism infrastructure within these places is well established. The other countries (which most westerners only know through news reports and documentaries) seem to hold the most appeal for the bold tourist, who wants to go where few have dared. How many people at school or work do you know who have been to Uganda? [Read more…]
Thailand lifts state of emergency in Bangkok
Earlier this year, in mid-January 2014, waves of protesters began an attempt at removing Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra from office in Thailand. Though the protests began peacefully, several explosions eventually occurred. This prompted the democratically elected government to issue a state of emergency on Jan. 22, 2014. The military was then called into action.
Regardless of how the government chooses to handle the situation, the danger to tourists remains an important issue. [Read more…]

A project in 2010-2011, funded by the Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA) Designated Development funding, saw the employment of the Museum's first ever professional archivist, Sandra Marsh. As a result of this we have now determined the scope of the archival collections and at the same time improved storage of these important records.
The archive includes the papers charting the history and development of the Museum, as well as the famous Sedgwick Club, started in 1880 in memory of Adam Sedgwick, after whom the Museum is named. The Archive also includes the many field notebooks, sketchbooks and specimen catalogues of Adam Sedgwick himself.
How are the Archives being processed?
In 2010-2011 the Archivist, together with the assistance of Dr Lyall Anderson and several volunteers re-boxed the archives and undertook some simple listing of records. There are now over 1000 conservation grade boxes in the archive collection which are on metal racking, and more easily accessible by staff and researchers. Some of the material was listed and repackaged into acid-free folders to make it easier to locate and use for research.
Images of before and after inside the Archive Store
The Museum was successful in securing funding from Trinity College's Isaac Newton Trust to continue important work on the collections during 2011-2012. This has enabled us to catalogue some parts of the collection, develop an exhibition in the Museum (opened in March 2012), continue to seek funding to further improve access to the collections through specific projects, and activities to promote the collections.
The possibility that the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago may have been caused by the eruption of the Deccan lavas in India has been increased by new research, published in the Geological Society of America Bulletin (doi:10.1130/B31167.1).

Companhia Brasileira de Distribuicao
) commonly known as Grupo Pão de Açúcar (GPA) is set to report
its first quarter 2014 results on Apr 29 after the market closes.
Last quarter, Pão de Açúcar delivered profits of R$864 million
($403 million) compared with R$503 million ($259 million) in the
year-ago quarter. Consolidated gross sales increased 14.9% year
over year, while net sales climbed 16.2% during the fourth
quarter. Let's see how things are shaping up for this
Factors to Consider this Quarter
Pão de Açúcar is on an expansion spree and has been cutting
down on costs in the face of a tough retail environment to boost
sales and retain market share. We expect this strategy to enhance
sales and thereby earnings in the upcoming quarter.
Recently, Pão de Açúcar posted its first quarter sales
results, where consolidated gross sales increased 10.8% year over
year (in local currency), benefiting from comparable store sales
growth of 6.3%. However, sales growth suffered a negative impact
of 130 basis points (bps) due to the calendar effect. Pão de
Açúcar opened 21 new stores in the first quarter, which also
fueled sales growth. Net sales increased 11.9%, owing to
comparable store sales growth of 7.5% in the first quarter.
The company also expects to open 400 new food stores by 2016,
which includes 360 new convenience stores in its Mini Mercado
format. The company also has expansion plans for its wholesaler,
Assai, which has been posting solid results in the last few
quarters. The company is expected to open 12 to 15 stores per
year through 2016 under the Assai banner, particularly in the
fast-growing Northeast region. In addition, Pão de Açúcar plans
to open 210 stores by 2016 in the ViaVarejo unit.
However, currency translation headwinds and tough economic
conditions will remain a threat in the second quarter as well. We
expect slow recovery in the U.S. and therefore consumer sentiment
will recover at a mild pace.
Earnings Whispers?
Our proven model does not conclusively show that Pão de Açúcar
is likely to beat earnings this quarter. A stock needs to have
both a positive
Earnings ESP
and a Zacks Rank #1, 2 or 3 to surpass earnings estimate.
However, that is not the case here due to the following
Zacks ESP:
Pão de Açúcar's Earnings ESP is 0.00%.
Zacks Rank #2 (Buy):
Pão de Açúcar's Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) when combined with an ESP of
0.00% makes surprise prediction difficult.
We caution against stocks with Zacks Ranks #4 and #5 (Sell
rated stocks) going into the earnings announcement, especially
when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions
Other Stocks to Consider
Here are some other companies in the retail/apparel sector you
may want to consider as our model shows they have the right
combination of elements to post an earnings beat this
Skechers USA Inc.
) with Earnings ESP of +12.20% and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong
Nike, Inc.
) with Earnings ESP of +1.32% and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Citi Trends Inc.
) with Earnings ESP of +4.00% and a Zacks Rank #3.

Over the past 2+ years, I've gone from a fat, lazy, piece of $#!+ to a somewhat fit, borderline competitive runner/duathlete. At first, I was satisfied with consistant weight loss and the excitement of feeling alive and healthy. Slowly, I've begun to transform my desire to become fitter to almost an obsession to "break the tape" or to put it simpler WIN. However, I've yet to break through, coming close on numerous occasions.
I've had another life change recently. My wife and I have left WNY for (hopefully) greener pastures in the Philadelphia area. I've decided that this is a perfect opportunity to refocus my efforts, not only with renewed training, but also with a new blog.
I am no longer just a "fat guy" running for fitness. My new focus is to break the tape, to win a race, followed by several more!
I know this goal is lofty, but I'm just not satisfied completing an event anymore. Please join me in my new adventure at www.rockbreakingthetape.blogspot.com.
See you there...

Good for even oily skin
Posted 5/5/2010 by Terri
I always have challenges when purchasing sunscreen because I have EXCESSIVELY oliy skin. I really liked this one. (I used after the mattifying oily skin cream). I found it to be perfect.
not greasy!
Posted 5/2/2010 by Ericka
I liked this sunscreen because it wasn't greasy at all! After applying, I let it dry about 2 minutes and then I was ready for the day at the beach. It fits perfectly in my bag and since i can use it on face and body I don't need to purchase multiple products!
Best way to use the product
Posted 7/27/2009 by Anonymous
Use the Pevonia Silky Skin Body Scrub (body) and the Pevonia Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser (face) before you apply the product!! You will have bright, glowing skin and also be protected from the sun.
Best Sunscreen
Posted 7/20/2009 by Anonymous
I loved this sunscreen becuase my skin felt very hydrated after using it. Not only did I apply it to my face, but also used it all over my body. It saved me space when traveling as I only needed one product.

Fun, yet cheap, wireless transmitter/receiver pair!Review by Stephen
I use this 315MHz transmitter/receiver pair almost daily in my wireless transmission experiments. The 315MHz pair worked without issue right out of the package! With the success in experimenting with this 315MHz pair, my plan is to order additional 315MHz pairs [RB-See-11] as well as the 433MHz pair [RB-See-12].
Experiments with the 315MHz pair included wireless communication testing using the following scenario:
LDR sensor -> PICAXE 20M2 -> 315MHz Transmitter ---------> 315MHz Receiver -> FTDI FT232RL Breakout -> USB port -> Laptop
At 5v power supplied on both transmitter and receiver ends, my experiments were able to transmit/receive data packets at close to 20m (indoors with walls, doors, stairs, etc in between) with 98% to 99.9% packets received. First experiments positioned the transmitter and receiver approx 1 meter apart. Other experiments reached up to 17-20 meters apart. Now, I'm using the Pololu S8V3A Step-Up/Step-Down Voltage Regulator [RB-Pol-113] with the transmitter (transmitter can operate up to 12v) and receiving transmissions from a utility house out back all the way to the office at almost 60 meters away!
To connect the 315MHz receiver [RB-See-11] to the FTDI Breakout [RB-Spa-541], I simply attached the +5v, GND, and <inverted> TX0 pin to the correct pins of the receiver and ran PuTTY on my laptop connecting to the specified COM port using 1200 baud rate, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity & no flow control. I immediately saw data picked up by the 315MHz receiver (a LOT of RF NOISE and transmissions around this area!). Once I had the 315MHz transmitter module connected to a PICAXE 20M2 [RB-Pic-31], and code executing a series of SEROUT commands at N1200 baud rate (including preamble, data, counter and checksum), I saw my transmissions picked up by the receiver/PuTTY out of the noise!!!
The only real complaint is the receiver comes with a helical antenna soldered in place; I'd rather have a pin to the breadboard so I can choose the type and shape of the antenna I want to use at both ends.

JoAnn Wilson, a nurse at Community Hospital South, has lost more than 50 pounds and would like to lose 15 more.
- Filed Under
For many, losing weight -- a common New Year's resolution -- isn't the real problem. It's regaining the same weight, over and over.
New research out of Stanford University's School of Medicine offers hope for yo-yo dieters. The study compared two groups of obese and overweight women on a 20-week weight-loss program: One group first spent eight weeks mastering weight-maintenance skills; the others started their weight-loss efforts immediately.
Both lost the same number of pounds on average, about 17. But the group who learned the skills first was better able to keep the pounds off. ...

Adobe Reader 8.1 vs. Xpdf and Evince
The creator of the PDF format, Adobe, has released Adobe Reader 8.1. Does the proprietary display program offer more than free software alternatives Xpdf and Evince?
The Portable Document Format (PDF), based on the PostScript page description language, has established itself as a standard for crossplatform document publishing, and readers are available for any popular operating system. That said, the PDF format is not designed for publishing documents that anyone can read.
Pre-press is another important area in which PDF is deployed. Professional Postscript printers and CTP machines process PDF documents directly, with the use of preflight to check the layout of a PDF document before publishing. The developers of the PDF format, Adobe Systems, had publishers and printing companies in mind when they designed PDF and the Internet was still new.

To Matthew McConaughey, the second Star Wars trailer is more than just alright, alright, alright.
It's two epic minutes worth of crying, laughing and more ups and downs than the Millennium Falcon taking flight through a meteor belt.
Yesterday, a new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens hit the Internet, and fans went positively insane.
"Chewie, we're home."
Fans of the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens, or Episode VII, were treated today to a brand new teaser for the upcoming film.
The anticipation for Star Wars Episode 7 is at a fever pitch, and the film won't hit theaters for another eight months.
With all the hype surrounding The Force Awakens, many fans may not even realize that in addition to the planned trilogy to be directed by JJ Abrams a slew of Star Wars "standalone" films are slated to hit theaters over the next few years.
Looks like the Millennium Falcon might be getting outfitted with some chintzy rims and a secret stash spot, because Jesse Pinkman is rumored to be taking the wheel.
In addition to the J.J. Abrams-directed Episode VII slated for release in December of 2015, Disney plans to produce a series of standalone spinoff features with various directors at the helm.
An ambitious, talented man in Newark, California, painstakingly put together the ultimate Christmas light show set to the music of Star Wars, and it. is. epic.
So much so that his neighbors might not even call the cops. It's that awesome!
So far, we've seen the new Star Wars trailer as George Lucas may have made it.
We've also witnessed one Internet user's take on what Wes Anderson would have done with this footage.

The Circle is the exhilarating new audiobook from Dave Eggers, bestselling author of A Hologram for the King, a finalist for the National Book Award.
When Mae Holland is hired to work for the Circle, the world's most powerful internet company, she feels she's been given the opportunity of a lifetime. The Circle, run out of a sprawling California campus, links users' personal emails, social media, banking, and purchasing with their universal operating system, resulting in one online identity and a new age of civility and transparency.
As Mae tours the open-plan office spaces, the towering glass dining facilities, the cozy dorms for those who spend nights at work, she is thrilled with the company's modernity and activity. There are parties that last through the night, there are famous musicians playing on the lawn, there are athletic activities and clubs and brunches, and even an aquarium of rare fish retrieved from the Marianas Trench by the CEO.
Mae can't believe her luck, her great fortune to work for the most influential company in the world - even as life beyond the campus grows distant, even as a strange encounter with a colleague leaves her shaken, even as her role at the Circle becomes increasingly public. What begins as the captivating story of one woman's ambition and idealism soon becomes a heart-racing novel of suspense, raising questions about memory, history, privacy, democracy, and the limits of human knowledge.
©2013 Dave Eggers (P)2013 Random House Audio
"Eggers's novel begins with an almost giddy tone, re-created perfectly by narrator Dion Graham. Pulling every tool from his kit, Graham describes the inner workings of the world's largest Internet company as it develops a new identity operating system that will allow even easier access by users across different platforms…But--as the listener hears in Graham's increasingly horrified tone--this Google-like utopia quickly becomes a dystopia when Mae realizes what the Circle really has in mind. Listeners will be reminded of Orwell's 1984." (AudioFile)
"A vivid, roaring dissent to the companies that have coaxed us to disgorge every thought and action onto the Web . . . Carries the potential to change how the world views its addicted, compliant thrall to all things digital. If you work in Silicon Valley, or just care about what goes on there, you need to pay attention." (The Wall Street Journal)
"Page-turning. . . . The social message of the novel is clear, but Eggers expertly weaves it into an elegantly told, compulsively readable parable for the 21st century. . . . What may be the most haunting discovery about The Circle, however, is readers' recognition that they share the same technology-driven mentality that brings the novel's characters to the brink of dysfunction. We too want to know everything by watching, monitoring, commenting, and interacting, and the force of Eggers's richly allusive prose lies in his ability to expose the potential hazards of that impulse." (Vanity Fair)
"Rand on Privacy"
This book puts a spotlight on privacy fears many of us have about "big data", and creatively shows just how out of control companies may get in the collection of personal information that makes up this statistic pool. A bit scary.
The concept is relevant and important, but I did feel that the characters and their narrative were forced. Many will compare this work to 1984, but I also compare this to an Ayn Rand manifesto. The characters each symbolize specific viewpoints on digital privacy and transparency, and their conversations drive their designated perspective ad nauseum. The character interactions sometimes come across as callow and puerile, though I am not sure if it was the way it was narrated - perhaps I may have perceived the written word differently.
Dion Graham did put his heart into this reading, though some of the character inflections were boorish (namely Francis), but his best trait was that he read quickly. Much of the prose is Mae's thought stream, which by nature happens more quickly than speaking aloud - so Mr. Graham compensates by reading it quickly and not drawing it out. Nice performance.
Overall, the moral is greater than the tale. If you are interested in the lengths some may go to publicly quantify your self, it is a good read.
"The most unsatisfying ending EVER!"
The narration was really well done.
It was like driving along a nice road and then falling off a cliff.
No particular scene, just the general descriptions, etc.
This book was AMAZING, but terrifying. Dave Eggers (who I have previously not loved) presents a view of America not unlike a 1984/Brave New World; however, rather than imagining some distant future dystopia, he is referring to a world we can all realistically foresee in 2-4 years, given the proliferation of social media and the digital age. In this world, we interact via "zings" and "smiles," travel by going to a live stream of a faraway beach, and can watch our neighbors, politicians, and strangers' ever moves via cameras in the environments or on their persons. As an accidental figurehead of the "full transparency" movement is Mae, the protagonist and employee of the culprit spearheading this new world, the Facebook/Google/Twitter/YouTube empire called "The Circle."
I have completely reversed my opinion of Mr. Eggers as a novelist. The characters in this book were well thought-out, poignant, realistic, and relatable. You completely understand how his protagonist ends up in the mind-boggling situations she does. Moreover, having Mae, the narrator, be so committed to "the cause" allows Mr. Eggers to illustrate the many potential arguments FOR a society like this, while allowing his reader to draw her own conclusions regarding the many perils. In the end, it has completely revised the way I interact with the internet and questioned my own beliefs about the existence and value of my identity, privacy, and "social" interactions.
As a narrator, Mr. Graham is terrific. This was my first audiobook in which a male voice narrated a female role; however, his delivery was spot on. He gave wonderful movement to fast-talking Annie, fully captured Mae's frustration during an especially poignant concluding scene, and brought The Circle to life.
"A glimpse of the future? Entertaining narration!"
in the top 30%
I love Dave Eggers stream of consciousness writing…and Dion Graham narrates Eggers' novels so perfectly….nails it! The story makes you think about the permanent nature of the internet, the transparency of social media, and the future. What if Google swallowed up Facebook, merged with Apple and acquired Twitter? Then took over the world ;)
He also narrated Eggers' "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" and so many times I'd be listening and I'd laugh out loud..prompting my husband to look at me quizzically ;) Graham's voice so perfectly embodies Eggers writing - they seem to be one in the same inside my head!
May was memorable as the main character... in the sense that she was so incredibly spineless…sad to see a character who is so easily manipulated. I kept thinking "in this next chapter she is going to have an independent thought"….
I'm sure the purpose/intent of the novel is satirical in a way….a dark comedy where Eggers shows what could happen if we don't get a grip on this internet/information overload thing. To be honest, I just love the style of Eggers' writing…I'm a fan no matter what he writes about - and the same goes for Graham's narration. Whatever they do together - I'm in!
"Excellent... but!"
I loved this book, the story line and the characters. The whole idea of something like this happening is here. Why didn't I give it a 5 for overall? I would have loved to see what happened after? Because it just ended..It left me going, what what? Is he writing another book? It - Just - Ended! LOL!
"Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for." -Socrates
"Read this book if you use social media like me"
The Circle begins with good intentions that address major social problems like crime and political corruption but eventually leads to a dark place reminiscent of George Orwell's book 1984. You are left wondering which step toward complete transparency was the one too far?
No, but it did make me think hard. Most will notice the similarities to Orwell's "1984" but this book might be more disturbing because it's easy to imagine this plot happening today in the United States. 1984 on the other hand seems foreign and easier to dismiss because it could never happen in our country... could it?
We know the path to hell is paved with good intentions, and the Circle will leave you wondering what direction we are headed.
"Never closes the loop..."
Only for Facebook fanatics to tell them to back off...
Make it go somewhere unexpected...this was really an extended short story...with a long lead up and went nowhere.
Initially the voice gravitas reminded me of "In A World" which I had just seen and it was distracting but after awhile it didn't bug me.
Appreciate Dave Eggars early books more... when he had something to say.
I guess my expectations for Mr. Eggars was higher to approach the "societal dive into globalization of personal experience" with a new perspective. Social media will be around a while...he should have taken the time to flesh out a more complex or at least exciting story line.
It's a combination of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" with "1984" set in a sunny high-tech campus where everyone is happily contributing to the betterment of the world. Alternately hilarious and frightening, this is one of the best stories I've encountered this year. The performance is excellent; Dion Graham has the vocal talent to convey the complex personality changes that occur as each of Eggers' characters come to grips with the new reality of The Circle. I've been off Facebook since I finished this book and I can't bring myself to look at Twitter. In fact, as I write this, I'm realizing the irony of writing an online rave review for a satirical tale about the dark potential of our bright, shiny, hyperconnected society… Gotta go, time to live in the real world, bye!

"Visit the near future and its possible implicatio"
I had already listened to The Facebook Effect, Steve Jobs bio and Always On recently. This one really grabbed me, since it was billed as a modern day 1984. That it is. In the book there is a lot of talk about transparency and even the floors of this future empirical company, The Circle, are made of glass. The heroine, Mae, is a recent college graduate whose friend helps her get a job at the latest internet company that is kind of the future Facebook with its convergence of internet platforms. She is hooked up to a headset which speaks to her in her own voice;asking her opinions and preferences on various products. She need only to nod up and down or left and right to answer as she multi-tasked with her various Ipad like devices starting out in what they called customer experience. She soon moves up and becomes what they call clear. She wears a camera, known as a see change camera, and due to her extraordinary social ability gains a huge following. She has several love interest throughout the book and it all culminates in a viewing of a vast fish tank where a shark, an octopus and some sea horses are placed. I don't want to give away the ending, if that was what it was, but it made me want to go back and try to understand the symbolism the author had in mind. It was so chillingly close to our modern mobile society that I would love to find somewhere on the internet where we could discuss the impact this book could have on how we interact with the internet.
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"Interesting look at social media"
In reading "The Circle" by Dave Eggers I feel as if I stepped into a modern day Orwellian novel. In this novel the Big Brother is a futuristic amalgam of a social media and search engine tech company instead of big government. The book is told in the first person by Mae Holland as she arrives for her first day of work at "The Circle." She is a new college graduate sort of an eager beaver believing that the company is the greatest. As she works at the company, the company is growing into more and more areas such as placing camera's all over the world. The company encourages politicians and their staffs wear a camera at all times (except in the bathroom and sleeping at night) Mae is asked to be the first person at the Circle to become transparent and wear a camera at all times. Everyone can watch Mae at all times work and play. As the story goes along more and more programs are developed that takes more and more privacy away from the individual. It is an interesting subject to think about and the story demonstrates issues in an interesting manner. I will not give the story away nor the ending you must read it to find out what happens. Dion Graham does a good job narrating the book. This is a dystopian science fiction novel.

Caedium CFD Software Helps High School Team To 2nd Fastest Time at the German F1 in Schools Finals
You may recall back in March that I covered how the high school team Fastcination won the South-East German F1 in Schools competition with help from Caedium. That regional win qualified Fastcination to compete for the 2012 German F1 in Schools title and now the results from that competition are in. Fastcination recorded the second fastest track time thanks to their low-drag CO2 dragster, aided by the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations performed by Caedium Professional.
Left to right: Steven Klotz, Julian Lemke, Nicola Schrepf, Maria Voss, Merle Schulken, Gregor Matl
Fastcination's design and production engineer Gregor Matl summed up the contribution of Caedium:
"We are especially proud that we could significantly improve the speed of our car, which came in second. We owe this improvement mostly to Caedium, which enabled us to optimize our racecar's aerodynamics."
Overall Fastcination finished 4th, and was awarded a prize for the best oral presentation. Although they do not get to go to the F1 in Schools world final to represent Germany, they have seen that the process of designing, manufacturing, and marketing a racing car can be fun and rewarding. The idea behind the F1 in Schools competition is that it can serve as a breeding ground for the next generation of engineers - as far as Gregor and his team are concerned - mission accomplished!
