It's taken just three days for Star Citizen to raise another $1m, it's so fast I had to double-take the update.
With the new goals focusing in adding news ships Cloud Inperium encouraging fans to dig deep and part with cash to bring more ships to the game. It's a bit weird if you think about it, we're dipping in for ships which nobody has seen but the concept sounds great. In fact nobody has actually flown a ship yet properly. Gamers are a weird bunch sometimes.
Looking ahead to the $32 million goal Cloud Imperium are wanting to put together the Aegis Surveyer:'
Aegis Surveyor – The Surveyor, from noted military contractor Aegis, is an industrial-quality salvage ship. Equipped with a reinforced cargo bay, a long-range jump drive and launch pods for unmanned drones, the Surveyor is an ideal ship for taking advantage of deep space wrecks. Tractor beams, floodlights, scanner options and docking ports round out the tool chest on this capable, utilitarian spacecraft.
Once again backers are being asked to vote for more ship additions on the update page. There's also some Gladiator artwork as a reward for this latest round of funding which shows turrent customisation.

Authoritarians Exploit the Newtown Dead
Left-wing journalists may have been first to exploit the shootings in Connecticut, but they have not been the most shameless. The statist politicians they enable were quick to follow suit. Rigor mortis had hardly set in before the lowest of the low began screeching for still more gun restrictions, despite the tragedy happening in gun-restrictive Connecticut.
The most nakedly dictatorial politician in the country, NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg, demanded "immediate action" toward repealing the Second Amendment.
The comparably odious Rep Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) squealed,
"There's only one meaningful action [Obama] can take, which is to take on the N.R.A., label them as the enablers of mass murderers they are, really push for strong gun-control legislation and call out those congressional leaders who don't support it."
In perfect harmony, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo yelped,
"We as a society must unify and once and for all crack down on the guns that have cost the lives of far too many innocent Americans. Let this terrible tragedy finally be the wake-up call for aggressive action and I pledge my full support in that effort."
While we're scraping the bottom of barrel, this clot of demagoguery was coughed up by Boston Mayor Thomas Menino:
"Now is the time for a national policy on guns that takes the loopholes out of the laws, the automatic weapons out of our neighborhoods and the tragedies like today out of our future."
Most ominously of all, Eric Holder, whose Department of Social Justice was caught arming Mexican drug cartels so as to generate bad press for our gun rights, intoned,
"As a nation I think we have to ask ourselves some hard questions."
Why not start with an easy question, such as: who could have stopped Adam Lanza before he was able to run up such an appalling body count? Answer: any law-abiding citizen with a gun.
Another easy question: who committed the murders, Lanza or his mom's guns? Answer: Lanza did. Lacking the guns, he would have used a different tool, like a knife or a bomb. Maybe he would have driven his car through a group of children waiting for the bus; or he might have driven a school bus off a bridge.
Obviously you cannot prevent maniacs from doing evil by blaming the tools they happen to have used.

"Ruins Include Thoughtful Review of Life's Choices"
This story is set in one of the most beautiful areas I've visited, and, like the setting, describes characters and contexts that are at once well-known and the hidden paths, seemingly discovered by chance. The novel tells many stories about how an intricate matrix of crass and benevolent characters make life-choices by following the paths to "what they want" and "what is right", and the tension when those paths are not always in parallel. Even though the "players" have flaws and can cause pain for each other, each choice shines by expressing eventually some of the better parts of human life.
There are many examples of these choices, a small example is how Jess Walter describes the growth of one of the characters who has devoted himself to building a cantilevered tennis court along the beautiful Ligurian coast. He eventually discovers that unlike the photos he's seen of tennis (he's never played), every point in tennis includes a swing that misses.
The romance, for me, is more poignant because it optimistically allows some of the best parts of human love to be expressed not through a standard "happily-ever-after" resolution, and that life includes the harder, more complex, "what is right" choices.
The narrator Edoardo Ballerini brings a depth to the characters, Italian pronunciation, and even does a Welsh voice that you'd recognize. Well done!
"Meh... not sure what all the hype is about."
I actually didn't finish this book. I feel a bit lost... I am totally baffled as to how it's getting such rave reviews. I had such high hopes for this book. It looked beautiful. Sounded beautiful. Had such literary potential. But then I began listening. And listening. And listening. And I waited for that moment that everyone else seemed to have, where the descriptions made them want to drop everything and fly to Italy. Or where the amazing writing of old Hollywood captivated them. It just never happened. I was not only bored with the story, but never have I read a story that so abruptly jarred me back and forth between scenes. It just didn't flow nicely. Plus, there were some really odd changes with the tenses, shifting from past to present. About 3/4 of the way through (blasphemous, I know), I just gave up. In all honesty, there are so many other books I'd rather be reading. Not sure why I wasn't one of the enlightened ones, but I just wasn't.
"Unexpected Delight"
One of my favorite pastimes is to browse the audible website which is how I found this book. Based on other reviews, I decided to give it a try....someone mentioned they heard high praise of it on NPR which was good enough for me. It took me an hour or so to get into it....I can honestly say I didn't like the whole Donner party stuff but weathered that storyline well enough. In the end I think this will go down as one of my all time favorite reads. The wonderful reading by Edoardo just enhances the characters. It was a wonderfully and inventively woven tale which ended with me shedding a few quiet tears...though it's not sad.....just the richness and fullness of life.
"Literary Cinemascope"
*Love don't make things nice - it ruins everything. It breaks your heart. It makes things a mess. We aren't here to make things perfect. We are here to ruin ourselves and to break our hearts and to love the wrong people and die.* [Moonstruck]
The ruination of love, a promising career, a cliff-side village, innocent ideals, a culture, even a handsome youthful face, ...elements that comprise this *beautiful* novel about balancing what we want, with what is best. It is Time that moves the element of Ruin in each case: deceit, vanity, circumstance, ego, and duty--and author Walter perfectly constructs every minute of time in this brilliant book with insightfullness and finesse...my favorite Jess Walter book to date, and one of my favorite novels of the year. A cast of some of the most memorable and endearing characters to come along in a while (and there are a lot of them in this 40 year saga), including the larger-than-life tornado of Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, in a rare supporting role. It is the breathtaking Italian coast that steals the show as the main character -- so perfectly drawn that I remember that sea breeze off the Amalfi and Liguaria coasts like I was there just yesterday. Liz and Dick buzz through this seaside town and these villager's lives like a wreckless speedboat, and the story develops in that ever-growing destructive wake.
This book is cinemascope in text! About as different in subject as you could get from Walter's recent The Financial Lives of Poets, but still glittering with his original and accurate voice, his knack for capturing the social zeitgeist, and his tender compassion masked so well as dark irony. Written and performed so damned well, that I thought parts were absolutely serious (it's Hollyweird...who knows?) and it took me a few minutes to remember, "this is Jess Walter...this is sarcasm, this is funny!" (outbursts of laughter followed). He describes the lecherous and oily machinations of the 60's Hollywood scene, and a particularly vile film producer that has had so many spa treatments, facial surgeries, botox injections, "cyst and growth removals," that at 72 yrs. old he looks "like a 9-yr. old Filipino girl;" this waxen-faced producer has his assistant hold "Wild Pitch Fridays", one where a hopeful screenwriter even pitches a movie about "Donner!" (complete with exclamation point and chapter entitled "Eating Human Flesh")--it is gut-busting funny. A highlight of the book was the too-brief section where Sir Richard Burton appears--a ridiculously elegant drunk womanizer--performed so well by narrator Edoardo Ballerini that I enthusiastically made everyone I came in contact with while I listened share this part.
But, high-brow chuckles aside, this is not a humorous novel--it is a love story--or at least, several love stories, with *beautiful* and poignant scenes that just resonnate in the listener. Walter creates heart warming (and heartbreaking) moments, as well as the wonderful and sincere Pasquale, one of the most lovelorn characters since Florentino from Gabriel Marquez's Love in the Time of Cholera --and one of the few characters with conscience in this story, that actually even considers the theme of desire vs. duty. (A conscience imbedded in him by a dying Italian mama and the great character of his old crone aunt, a "witch" that calls women whores and puts a curse on a drunken Sir Richard.)
The last small section of the book is one of the most outstanding "wrap-ups" I've read --moving, and again, *beautiful* in every sense.
Large and sweeping, absolutely panoramic; but it is Walter's undeniable talent that aligns it all so effortlessly that it flows into a masterpiece. Ballerini as narrator: Perfezione! From his lilting Italian prose, to his remarkable Welsh drunk dialect...no one could have performed this book better. Some may find the bulk of cast and their individual stories overwhelming, or the skipping between the past and present confusing; the conversations can languish and don't always serve to move the story forward...but there was nowhere else I wanted to go, and I loved every minute of this beautiful book..
"Once again - fooled by the good reviews"
This is another instance where I've purchased a book because of the great reviews. I agree with Kathy's review, except I thought the narrator was OK. I didn't feel any character was well developed and really disliked the back and forth between the character stories. At first I thought I didn't "bond" with the book because I wasn't traveling very much and therefore was only able to listen in short spurts. When it was over, I was glad. I also felt there was too much time spent on the son, who was not integral to the story in my opinion. The other characters could have used all that story line time.
Superb performance and lovely descriptions of place aren't enough to fluff up the rather flat characters and rather predictable story. Pasquale and Dee, were probably the closest to fully fledged characters, but still not enough to drum up emotion to really drive the story for me. Lacking some real character driven events, the storyline is injected with a few odd, somewhat awkward, turns to keep it moving to the desired conclusion. Overall, not a completely unpleasant diversion though, the actor's performance is brilliant and it's easy to imagine losing oneself on one of these islands.
"I guess that I missed the point."
After a series of very enjoyable listens, I read the reviews for this book and thought that it sounded good. Despite a number of starts and stops, I just could not engender any interest in the story. I kept thinking that it would get better, but for me, it did not. I gave up just into the second part.
"Beautiful novel"
I was told about this book by a friend who had read the printed version. After listening to the excellent narration of a wonderful story, I wanted to tell my friend she had somehow been cheated and desperately needed to listen to it! Truly a fantastic book and narration. And, it didn't hurt that my mother's family is originally from the region of Italy depicted in the story... a beautiful part of a beautiful country.
Newly retired, I am a reading fiend! I like many types of books, both fiction and non-fiction, with the exception of romance and fantasy
"For me, a very disappointing listen (spoilers)"
With all the 5 star reviews, I felt I couldn't go wrong with this book. Much to my surprise, I did not enjoy it at all. It started out in Italy and seemed very promising. Then it began jumping back and forth in time. Then, the author added numerous unlikeable characters. Then there was the Richard Burton and Liz Taylor thread. All the while, the narrator sounded like he had taken lessons from Scott Brick. He just got carried away with himself. While he was fine with the Italian accents, I really disliked his performance with the rest of the characters and his style of speaking. I would not seek out this narrator and perhaps might even avoid him in the future.
As for the story itself, it seemed a bit farfetched to believe a woman could confuse pregnancy with stomach cancer. We heard over and over again about how beautiful she was but little else was developed about her personality, other than she raised a very disturbed son and seemed to be a basket case herself. The Hollywood characters bored me to tears. Then, there wasn't enough payoff in the end. I kept hoping the ending would redeem it for me.
All the while, I kept wondering what was wrong with me. How could I dislike a book with such consistent rave reviews? I started going back to the reviews, reading them in hopes I would find the missing element that would enhance this experience for me. It didn't work. I guess you can't please all of the people all of the time.
Say something about yourself!
I LOVE this book! The title is perfect. Even some ruins are just as beautiful in what they became as how they started out - completely different but beutiful. I???m still crying because???the book ended? the book/end was so well done? because I could have never imagined it would end this way. YES to all.
This book has so many great elements ??? and the narration of Edoardo Ballerini ??? spot on!! I laughed until I cried (especially the Richard Burton scenes ??? but so many others!), and I cried and didn???t want to stop. I lost a whole weekend because I could not stop listening ??? this is a warning. The only critical thing I can say about it is some parts start at the end and work back, some parts don???t, but in the end it was perfect. Rest assured you end up knowing what you need to know ??? and I would NOT change a thing. DO NOT SKIP THE EPILOG.
I would buy this again if I had to; thank goodness I can listen to it as many times as I want. Thank you Jess Walter and Audible!
Jess Walter - I will read anything you write from now on (I say that now...:).

This review is from: Round Ireland with Fridge (Paperback)
This book is half a travelogue and half a witty diary written by an English stand-up comedian that went on a hitchhiking trip through Ireland while pulling along a mini-fridge in 1997. This is one funny story which is full of very dry humour and rather sharp/witty observations on the unique culture, customs and overall characteristics/personalities of the Irish people as viewed by an outsider. I was on familiar ground here because (1) I've traveled through Ireland, (2) I used to listen to the Gerry Ryan show online regularly and (3) I've been married to a Newfoundlander for 20 years. The similarities between the Irish people and their not-too-distant cousins in Newfoundland abound. Truth be told, one could easily substitute the word Ireland in the title/story by the word Newfoundland and you'd get pretty much the same effect, same type of odd ball characters.... This familiarity with the land/culture/people is probably why I found this book to be a fabulously entertaining story. I laughed out loud many times. I was sad to reach the end of the trip; I only wished the book would have been longer! As crazy as it sounds, I'm inclined to believe that there is more facts than fibs in the book. Great fun...read this book but only after you've been to Ireland so that you can appreciate it fully. For the genre, this is an excellent satire, 5 stars out 5!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Most Bizarre Travelogue,
Robert I. Hedges - See all my reviews
This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Paperback)
I love this book. The premise is that due to a bet while under the influence he has to hitchhike around the perimeter of Ireland in a month. The fact that he paid more for the fridge than the value of the wager makes the concept even more entertaining. Some have criticized (I believe unfairly) the book for not being a detailed travel journal. I think that is a factually correct statement, but the point here is not to be a serious travel guide, but to be a humor book about funny experiences during a very odd odyssey.
There are many amusing moments in the book, some of which are so well written that they made me laugh out loud. Purists may argue that it is a rather smallish fridge, but I don't think that matters; it's the concept of hitchhiking in a foreign country with a large, ungainly peculiar object that matters here.
Tony Hawks is a very strange, and very funny man. If you are interested in a book filled with unusual comic characters and situations, this would be hard to beat.
4.0 out of 5 stars The Remarkable Story of a Quite Pointless Achievement,
This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Paperback)
Given the choice of touring Ireland with a Ferrari or a fridge Hawks provides an unassailable case that you will have a far more enjoyable time if you leave your Italian monster in the garage.
As a fan of Bill Bryson's repartee and Theroux's narrative, the otherwise non-event of circumventing Ireland with a fridge makes for an eye-twinkling, beer-consuming epic that surely some day a Hollywood director will recognize. He may need a few pints of Guinness and his "beer goggles" on before he recognizes this work of genius for the masterpiece that it is.
Hawks skill as an accomplished comedian who is a regular on BBC Radio traverses to a very readable book.
If you've read the title and cannot possibly conceive why somoene might attempt such an excercise then this book is for you. Hawks recounts the confusion, verve and passion that is created on what can only be accurately described as a marathon pub-crawl, with talking point in tow, around the worlds best venue for pub crawling.
If anything this book serves to explain why anyone would take on a bet for 100 pounds involving buying a fridge costing in excess of the winnings.
The one question that remains that after it's travels, immersion in the Atlantic and use as a dirty laundry repository, did the item in question work when plugged in?
5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh Out Loud,
This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Paperback)
I don't normally read travel books, but my husband is an avid devourer of same, and so when I gave him this as a gift, I was curious. He would read a few pages and then laugh. A lot. Out loud. I wondered what on earth could be so funny in a travel book. I had never read a book which made me laugh out loud. So after he had finished, I began reading the book.
I just couldn't put it down. It was hilarious, right from the ridiculous premise where the author agreed to a drunken bet to hitch-hike round Ireland with a fridge as a travelling companion. He meets a quite a few eccentric characters along the way, none of whom I knew (at least I don't think so, but you can never be quite sure. Nearly everyone in Ireland knows someone who's a cousin of someone else's cousin or brother, or aunt... you get the idea.)
My favourite line has got to be when asking for directions, the author got the reply, "You can't get there from here."
It's so funny because it's true, people do say that, I'm a culprit myself.
How did he manage it? Did people really let the madman with a fridge get into their cars and their lives? Read the book and find out, you won't be disappointed.
You'll be laughing out loud too.

3.0 out of 5 stars Way too much time on his hands,
Mr. Joe (Glendale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Paperback)
"Everything you read from this moment forth is a tribute to what can be achieved as a result of a shabby night of booze."
Thus does Tony Hawks elegantly describe the genesis of his journey chronicled in ROUND IRELAND WITH A FRIDGE. To be more precise, it was the result of a drunken gamble made with a buddy that in itself doesn't make much sense. The bet was for 100 British pounds, and the refrigerator cost Hawks 130 pounds. What was he thinking? By the way, in case you're wondering, the fridge in question was a small cube perhaps two feet or less on a side, not one of the behemoths in which one stores provisions for a family of six (or beer and frozen pizza for a single bachelor).
The terms of the wager allowed Hawks, a comedian by profession, one calendar month to hitchhike the circumference of Ireland with fridge in tow. A month can accommodate a fair number of paying gigs. So, with apparently that much free time on his hands, one wonders how successful a comedian Tony was at the time (1997). Well, that's neither here nor there. In any case, the author's talent for dry humor translates well to the printed medium, as when he observes:
"Shooting hordes of insubordinate natives was acceptable when 'needs must', but jumping a queue was always quite intolerable. The whole raison d'�tre for a vast British Empire had been a desire to teach the ignorant peoples of the world how to queue correctly." Quite right. I think even the Queen would agree.
Indeed, it's the humor of ROUND IRELAND WITH A FRIDGE that supports the narrative as far as it goes. It falls short as a travel essay, which, in my mind, should be descriptive of the locale being traversed. Beyond this reader's conclusion that the Irish are remarkably tolerant of and generous to eccentrics, most of the insights gained don't extend beyond the walls of the many pubs where Hawks spends his hours when not actually on the road. Granted, this isn't entirely the author's fault. The friendly Irish are just always offering to buy him a pint. However, as an example, at one stage in his journey Tony and the fridge are coveyed between points A and B by a white van with "Galway Swan Rescue" emblazoned on the side. Now, I'd like to know what a swan rescuer does, but Hawks never tells, and my curiosity remains unsatisfied. This lack of useful information pervades the volume as a whole. In the end, the book's 247 pages were amusing enough to warrant three stars, but it's mindless reading with a capital "M". Even telling how he got a splinter while Doing It in a doghouse didn't add as much to the saga as he probably thought it might. Is Tony a girl's dream date, or what?
4.0 out of 5 stars Drunk + Fridge = A Good Craic,
A. Ross (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Paperback)
This very amusing book can be summarized as follows: British comedian gets sloshed at party, makes drunken wager that he can hitchhike around the circumference of Ireland with a refrigerator within one calendar month, wakes up, agrees to follow through on drunken wager, wacky antics ensue. Given that the mini-fridge with which to fulfill the bet costs �130, and the bet is for �100, it's becomes clear that the book is not so much about winning the bet as it is about how the bet is won. It's certainly not meant to be any kind of guide to Ireland. If anything, it's a guide to embracing actions that have no point, to every now and then live outside the sensible boundaries we construct in out lives.
Hawks strikes it lucky at the very beginning, as his silly bet is championed by a RTE2 (Irish national radio station) radio personality, giving him instant notoriety, which eases his path around Ireland. Hawks' comedian background enables him to kind-heartedly poke fun at everything and everyone he encounters, with large doses of self-depreciation mixed in. He's constantly amazed at the generous and warm receptions he receives throughout the country, and finds something positive in almost everyone and every place he visits (buoyed no doubt by the numerous free meals and beds bestowed upon him). The book is a silly good time, and the embodiment of easy reading. Toward the end the quirky characters he meets on the road and in bars start to run together a little, and it might have benefited from being fifty pages less or so. But still, it's not every day you can read about a fridge surfing, a fridge baptizing, a fridge blessing, a fridge party (with requisite New Order cover band),… well, you'll have to read it to believe it.

This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Paperback)
Awakening with a hangover, the author finds that he has made a bet for L100, so he buys a L130 "dorm" refrigerator and gamely goes out to accomplish the mission - hitching `round Ireland with a fridge.
This book does not purport to be a treatise on Anglo-Irish relations. Nonetheless, the author does come to empathy (See, for instance, pages 109 and 185,) while providing the reader with a rollicking fun account of his trek. Without droning on, it speaks volumes that the people we meet in the book embrace the folly and help a Brit with his fridge - christened Saiorse (Gaelic for "freedom") and subsequently blessed by a nun.
Here's how the author sums up: "The journey may not have changed the lives of the people of Ireland, but it had changed mine. I was a different, a better person. I had made discoveries, learned some important lessons. From this day forth, I was going to stop for hitch-hikers, laugh along with happy drunks in pubs, and respect the right of the bad guitarist to play along with the rest. I had learned tolerance, I had learned that you could trust in your fellow man for help, and I had learned a new and pleasurable way of acquiring splinters." (p. 240)

This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Paperback)
After a heavy alcohol-fuelled session at a party, English comedian Tony Hawks wakes up to find that he has entered into a bet to hitchhike around the coast of Ireland in the company of a fridge. Not a man to welch on his bets he sets off to do precisely that and manages to write us a hilarious book detailing the experience.
The people of Ireland respond to the idea of this English lunatic pulling this stunt as if it's an excellent proposal and pitch in to help Tony on his way with madcap enthusiasm. By car, truck and van, Tony and his fridge progress around the coast; on the way having the fridge christened, blessed, named and adopted as well as entering into a batchelor competition. The passing through of Tony and his fridge becomes an event in many areas and he achieves a cult following as "Fridge-man".
If you want to read a travelogue with a difference you'd be hard-pressed to find one as bizarre and enjoyable as this which serves to warm the reader's heart to Ireland, the Irish, Tony and free-willed kitchen appliances everywhere. Good craic.
4.0 out of 5 stars A light, entertaining read...,
This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Hardcover)
This book doesn't claim to be anything but what it is: a rollicking good time. Hawks has detailed his misadventures with a fridge whilst traipsing around the Green Isle. It makes for a fun time, it really does.
The premise is so absurd it has to be real: the author makes a bet with a mate in the midst of a party... that he attempt to take a fridge all the way around the country of Ireland - and do it in 30 days or less. Hawks, not being of right mind, agrees. Then he gets sober and realizes the enormity of this �100 bet. The first hilarious mis-step in the adventure is that the fridge he bought for the trek cost him roughly what the bet was for.
From there things get better (or worse, if you're Hawks) and a great time begins. The book doesn't just reflect Hawks' strange experiences whilst hitching with a compact fridge - it also shows the generous and good-natured heart of the Irish.
I bought this book for my trans-atlantic flight home and it keep me fully entertained for the entire 8 hours. This isn't a challenging read, but it's darn good fun all the same. I give it a recommend.
3.0 out of 5 stars Very highly entertaining...but Bryson it is not,
M. D. Lewis (Ravenstown, Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Round Ireland with a Fridge (Hardcover)
I picked this up on a whim from an Amazon UK travel e-mailing and I am quite glad that I did. Hawks' tale is quite amusing - how could a tale about carting a fridge around a country not be? - and is a progressively better read as it goes along. Yet after reading the likes of Bill Bryson's _Notes From A Small Island_, I couldn't help but be slightly disappointed. It is perhaps an unfair comparison, because travel writing has not seen any better than Bryson's work in that volume - where the humor and insight on the culture being examined (that of the UK) was simply impeccable. Bryson knew his subject very well, and his past experience with the native culture made the book so effective. Hawks essentially went into the fridge experience knowing nothing about the culture, and thus the treatment of Irish life is somewhat superficial.
Invariably, any book taking the same sort of approach of Bryson's book (itself the Dave Barry version of Paul Theroux) will seem somewhat weak in comparison. Yet, all the same, of its own merits, _Round Ireland..._ is a quite enjoyable read - laugh-out loud funny enough to justify the cover price, and will be of particular interest to Eirephiles.

Arizona Wildcats
Rapper 'Fat Joe' reports to prison in tax case
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) - Rap star "Fat Joe" has reported to federal prison in Florida to serve a 4-month sentence for tax evasion.
An attorney for the performer, whose real name is Joseph Cartagena (car-ta-GEE'-nah), said his client surrendered Monday at a federal detention center in Miami.
Cartagena pleaded guilty in December 2012 to failing to pay taxes on more than $1 million of income in 2007 and in 2008.
The 42-year-old Miami Beach resident was charged in New Jersey because some of the companies he earns money from are incorporated in the state.
The platinum-selling artist once topped the Billboard charts with the hit "What's Luv."
Attorney Jeffrey Lichtman told The Associated Press that Cartagena was in positive spirits and looking forward to getting released and back to his family before Christmas.

Inspired by the Capture Real Life colour challenge, I decided to do it again, this time taking photos of the (randomly chosen colour) pink things in my life for a week and here they are.
Girl Lacer has started to show interest in washing her face (yay, I've been trying for years!), so she asked for some flannels, now I know I could have just gone down to Boots but the old 'why buy something when you can make it' kicked in, never mind the fact that I still had to go and buy the 100% cotton wool to do it.
I used the log cabin washcloth pattern from Purl Bee and I have to admit I didn't totally understand it and I did bodge it a bit, the picking up stitches bit was hard, but I am still pleased with the results and more importantly, so is Girl Lacer. She's been poorly recently, so the wet flannel on the head treatment came in very handy (I knitted the one with the light blue centre first, which is the one she's been using, which is why it looks almost twice as big as the one on the left, which I've only just finished, I guess once wet, that one too will increase in size).
Finders Keepers
Finders Keepers by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
It took me a while to warm to this book, but by the end I really loved it. It's a sequel of sorts to Mr Mercedes. It tells the story of another family affected by the Mercedes Killer. The father's injuries compound the effect of the recession, so when the son, Pete, discovers a secret cache of stolen money and notebooks from a murdered reclusive author, he uses it to help the family. Of course things don't go easy and soon Pete needs retired detective Hodges help.
The book though is really about how far some fans obsessions can go and reading internet comments about some popular forms of entertainment, the sense of entitlement, I can well believe it.
And finally I really like how King has built upon the characters of the first book and I really like how he's set the stage for what proves to be a really creepy third book.
On the menu – more Thug Kitchen
I made the roasted beet and quinoa salad from Thug Kitchen, except I didn't have any quinoa or kale (another ingredient), so I used bulgur wheat and just missed out the kale. It was still pretty gorgeous, the roasted beetroot was really moorish and the simple mustard dressing was really nice. Another hit for Thug Kitchen.
Capture Real Life in 52 Weeks – week 20 – colour
This week on Capture Real Life in 52 Weeks it's colour, using a random colour generator, I chose to find blue things to photograph. It was actually harder than I thought, it's when you're specifically looking for a colour do you realise that what your camera can see isn't quite what your eye can see. So there were quite a few blue things I found that just did not photograph well.
Looking for certain colour things though is quite a mindful exercise, so I may pick another colour next week and have another go next week.
I've just reviewed the patterns by Helen M Stevens over on Feeling Stitchy. I got a chance to try out her Tawny Owl pattern, which was great fun and I'm really pleased with the results.
I stitched this whilst listening to the audiobook of Plague Land and so the owl feels even more suitably medieval. I don't know about anyone else, but as I often listen to audiobooks whilst embroidering, the very web of whatever story I've been listening to, feels sewn into the piece I'm working on. I can often still remember what story I was listening to when working on a piece, even years later. I may not be able to remember the title but I can remember parts of the plot and I definitely remember the atmosphere.
Plague Land
Plague Land: A Novel by S.D. Sykes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oswald de Lacey is the youngest son of a land owning family, never expected to be Lord of the Manor but when his father and older brothers are killed by the plague, he is summoned back from the monastery he's been placed in since he was seven. He is young and inexperienced and to be honest a bit of a wet blanket, so when some murders happen on his land he is ill equipped to deal with it. But as the book progresses, Oswald becomes more experienced and he grew on me and by the last third of the book there was enough twists and turns to keep me quite gripped.
I also found it interesting to read about life after the plague had decimated half of the population. Life went on more than perhaps life would today if such an event were to occur but the issues such as finding enough people to work the land, were dealt with well in the book.

What do you want to know? I can tell you how everything plays out, only we follow a string each time. I could tell you how at the end of the game it's different then most suspect. I can tell you how it feels to have the wind supporting your movements, the birds flocking towards you and the sun smiling down on your crown.
But all i can really tell you is live your life without fear, or it'll take a long time to get here. You're afraid of dying? Go live. Go sit in a park, chat to a stranger, talk TO A TREE and see how people react to you. Actually, be careful what country you try the last one in.
The point is you're ripping yourself apart with fear, and you ask me to help you? A broken cup cannot old much love, my friend. I can pore a waterfall into it and not one drop will stay if your heart is not ordered with peace and free of fear.

Citation: Scharf, P.C., Oliveira, L., Vories, E.D., Dunn, D., Stevens, G. 2009. Crop Sensors for Variable-Rate Nitrogen Application to Cotton [abstract]. ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual Meeting Abstracts. ASA-CSSA-SSSA Annual International Meeting, October 5-9, 2008, Houston, Texas. p. 671-2. Technical Abstract: Cotton yield can be very responsive to nitrogen fertilizer. However, over-application of N can result in excess vegetative growth, which can delay maturity and increase the need for growth regulator, defoliant, and insecticide, in addition to wasting money on fertilizer that does not produce a return. Our objective was to calibrate canopy reflectance sensors to predict the amount of N fertilizer needed by a cotton crop. Six N rate experiments were carried out over a two-year period on widely varying soil types. Three sensor types (Greenseeker, Crop Circle, and Cropscan) were used at three stages (early square, mid square, and first bloom) and three heights above the canopy (10, 20, and 40 inches). The most profitable N rates for these six experiments were 0, 45, 60, 80, 175, and 200 lb N/acre. Applying these rates would have increased profitability by $43/acre relative to a typical producer rate of 100 lb N/acre on every field. All three sensors were able to give fairly good predictions of the most profitable N rate at mid square and first bloom, but not at early square. The visible/near-infrared ratio from a height of 20 inches predicted the best N rate with R2 > 0.5 for all three sensors and was the most consistent predictor.

Holy smokes. Every individual D-Rock part is already an edit of the best skating that went down. This incredible, ultra-selective montage is what you get when those edits are combined even further.
Cold War is the gift that keeps giving. One of the most underrated skaters out there, Ben is so good on so many different levels it's insane.
Here's a quick barrage of some of the slams and makes that went into this epic project. Full parts start Monday.
From Vincent Alvarez to Christian Hosoi, here's some more gems from the Van Doren Invitational. Thanks again Vans-that was one kick-ass contest!
From Greyson's psycho float to Raven's Rube-a-Dube to Hatchell's trick wizardry, this was one of the wildest finals we've ever seen. And Raney's transfer? Just wait!
The Vans US Open in Huntington Beach is going off with a Marseilles-inspired concrete wonderland poured right on the sand. Here's some gems from practice and qualifiers, with Raney, Hatchell, Blair, and more heating it up! Semis and finals tomorrow.
Give Ben Hatchell a couple days inside The Rock and he'll rip the place to shreds. You gotta see some of this transition wizardry.
Vans threw a contest at the Chelsea Piers Bowl and a heavy crew from around the world showed up to rip. The rain held off, Van Doren manned the grill with free hot dogs all day and when the dust settled Lance Mountain took top honors in the masters division and Pedro Barros won the Pro.

Allen Grimes commented 2015-04-07 21:53:56 -0400At one time I worked as a police officer, then I fought through opiate addiction for 8 years only finally quiting with the help of Marijuana. I have seen what drugs have done to communities and my own life. Marijuana saved my life and I want to spread this message. Taking up to 30 10mg Lortab a day for almost eight years, 4 failed rehabs, to smoking pot and stopped everything else in one week. That was 18 months ago.

simmie butts commented 2014-11-22 10:47:43 -0500I strongly believe that legalization of marijuana is more than just use of the substance. The whole plant is usable from medicine to clothing and paper, our society is doing itself a disservice by continuing to make this important product illegal. I want to be a part of this important movement, i see the opportunities that legalaized marijuana can bring to the state of maine and i want to be an active part in making this happen!

This is a true story.
It happened to a Cast Member at Disneyland who is a friend.
I will call him "K" so as not to embarris him if he happens to see this.
His last day will be June 26th.
He is recently married, and has been working 2 jobs for the last 5 years.
He has applied at Team Disney Anaheim, but they feel he does not have enough experience. What?
He has worked for Disneyland for 15 years.
He has a BA in Theme Entertainment Design.
He has 5 years of experience in Employee, Executive and public relations & communications.
It is really sad that they feel that they don't have any need for this.....
