I've had the pleasure of staying in JGR whenever I'm in Nairobi. I find it safe, clean, and located in a very convenient area (a 2 minute walk to catch a matatu, Uchumi is a 3 minute walk, Carnivore is a 10 minute walk away, Nairobi National Park is a 10 minute matatu ride away). The kind manager has on many occasions been of significant help and it's made me feel very comfortable and safe staying there. The staff are friendly and always ready to help. As I've said, security is utmost important to me, especially in Nairobi, and this place fulfills that need!

HP Pavilion a1230n DVD-RW drive cable
A long time ago I had installed a second hard drive to this tower -- as far as I remember, when I did this, I had to connect the cables (P3, P2, P4, P5, and P6 differently). After installing the the second hard drive the DVD-RW drive lost it's burning capabilities (turned into a CD-ROM) and I was fine with this. Now I have taken the second hard drive out and want to connect the cables so that it's configured the way it was intented by HP -- but the combinations I have tried so far don't recognize the burning capabilities.
I know very little about the hardware structure of computers so I appreciate some help with this. There are two serial lines of white plugs P2-P3-P8 (P2 and P3 are bigger and they both go into the optical drives); and P4-P5-P6. The DVD-RW is stacked above the CD-ROM drive if they tower is standing vertically. Can somebody help me determine what goes where?
my failed combinations are here:
upper drive: P5 P5 P2 P3
lower drive: P3 P6 P3 P2
I have tried searching the configuration but haven't had any luck.
Thanks for your help.

STILLWATER - Oklahoma State's women's tennis team has signed Kelsey Laurente and Vladica Babic for the 2014-15 season it was announced today by Cowgirl tennis coach Chris Young.
"I am thrilled to welcome Kelsey and Vladi to the Cowgirl tennis family," Young said. "Both girls will make an immediate impact on our program and help us continue to compete for championships."
Laurente transfers to Oklahoma State as a junior after playing her first two collegiate seasons at the University of Miami. In her sophomore season, the Miramar, Fla., native notched a 13-9 overall singles record while playing primarily in the No. 2 singles spot in dual matches for the Hurricanes. In 2014, Laurente was ranked as high as No. 33 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association singles poll and was named to the All-ACC Second Team. In doubles, Laurente teamed up with Melissa Bolivar to go 12-5 in dual matches. The pair was slotted as high as No. 28 in the ITA doubles rankings.
Babic, a native of Montenegro, comes to Stillwater as a freshman after having had success on the ITF Pro Circuit last year. Babic achieved a career high ITF doubles ranking of 487 and a career high singles ranking of 860, each coming in 2013. She has won two professional tournaments in doubles, including an event in Pirot in which she teamed up with Cowgirl sophomore Katarina Adamovic.
Laurente and Babic join a talented cast of young Cowgirls that will look to top an exciting 2014 campaign in which the team advanced to the Big 12 Championship and the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second-consecutive season.

Cowboys defensive coordinator Rob Ryan has said several times that the abundance of injuries on defense are not an excuse for poor play. It's probably in his best interest to continue saying that because his boss doesn't seem to think injuries should prevent Ryan's group from playing well, which they didn't do Sunday night. The Cowboys, who held on for a 38-33 victory, allowed the Philadelphia Eagles to rack up 423 yards with rookie quarterback Nick Foles posting a 96.6 QB rating and rookie running back Bryce Brown rushing for 169 yards and two touchdowns. Defensive starters Jay Ratliff, Kenyon Coleman, Sean Lee, Bruce Carter and Barry Church did not play for the Cowboys because of injuries. Ratliff is the only one in the group that's not out for the remainder of the season. But instead of mentioning the players they were without, Jerry Jones was focused Tuesday on the team's top defenders DeMarcus Ware, Anthony Spencer, Morris Claiborne and Brandon Carr that were on the field....

Any school with an eye on the future has to include home access in its plans. The links between school and home are becoming ever stronger and this trend will accelerate over the next few years as new and better technologies come onstream. Little wonder that home access is a major priority for the BSF programme. And there is another reason: equality. "About 20% of pupils - that's 2 million [young people] - can't go online at home and that figure has plateaued," says Valerie Thompson, chief executive of the E-Learning Foundation. "Unless something happens, that digital divide will remain."

This review is from: Beautiful Bodies: A Novel (Paperback)
This is NOT "Sex and the City", it's far more complicated and real.
Six women are gathering at one's apartment to put on a baby shower for their mutual friend Claire, who has suddenly announced she is pregnant, without being married or any discernible male partner. All six met two decades ago at Theresa House, a residence for women who have come to New York to seeks their fortunes. In fact, Claire still lives there.
The others have gone out and sought their fortunes in other ways -- the strident Martha, with whom everyone else is still friend for the sake of tradition; Jessie, the hostess who has just found love with a man named Jesse as well, Nina, who is caring for her dying mother, Sue Carol, who left her cheating husband for the last time, and Lisbeth, an aging "wactress" (waitress/actress) frightened of not getting any good parts before she has even made it.
The group gathers as New York is predicted to be hit by "the storm of the century". As emotions run high, a similar storm is brewing at the party!!
Read this gem to find out what happens. I look forward to reading more by this great author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ahh, the dynamics of female friendships. . . .,
S. Thompson "casual reader" - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beautiful Bodies: A Novel (Paperback)
This book took me a while to get into, but once I did, it was worth it. Beautiful Bodies chronicles the events of one night where 6 late-thirties women, friends since their first days in NY, meet up for a baby shower. Cunningham chooses to first introduce us to each of the women by writing about their separate journeys to the baby shower, and then observes what happens when the women meet up, one by one. But the book really doesn't get started until all of them are together.
I've read several books about female friendships, and, honestly, this book is one of the most accurate in describing how the relationships among female friends, particularly when there is more than two, can alternate between gentle, strenuous, compassionate, then explosive (not necessarily in that order) all in one evening. I totally saw myself and my friends in these characters, and loved how Cunningham expertly described the mood shifts as the evening progressed.
I'd recommend this to any woman, as long as they are not expecting a standard plot where everything is tied up in a neat bow at the end. Unlike most of my favorite reads these days, this book isn't perfect as a beach read -- I think it would be best enjoyed on a weekend night by yourself with a great dinner and a glass of wine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Packaging not to the novel's credit.,
This review is from: Beautiful Bodies: A Novel (Paperback)
Yes, it *looks* like yet another swingin' single gal fic to be enjoyed while swilling cosmos at the bikini wax salon, but don't be fooled. It's actually the spirit of "The Group" being handed to us with a sugary coating we didn't ask for and don't need, because this is quite an excellent book. How I wish the publisher would give both novel and reader more credit than to dress this one up for drinks at the latest hip spot and make it hang out at the bar with Carrie Bradshaw and Bridget Jones.
3.0 out of 5 stars HUGE FLAW in the book,
Alicia Walker "Book/movie snob/Ph.D. student" (Lexington, KY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beautiful Bodies: A Novel (Paperback)
Cunningham has a character originally from Kentucky and yet she obviously couldn't be bothered to do any research whatsoever about the area. She doesn't have the dialect correct, nor any of the attributes she gave the area. She talked repeatedly about them eating fried dough--or crullers. This is NOT a Kentucky thing at all. I don't know where she got this from. The woman spoke of her home--Slocum Hollow. No, in Kentucky it's Holler. No one says Hollow there. Also, she says that in Kentucky everyone says, "Gettin' away with it." A.) This is not an expression particular to Kentucky and B.) If someone were saying it in that part of the country, they would say, "Getting' away with hit." It's frustrating that a publishing house, editor, and agent would all miss this serious faux pas. This woman was born and raised in New York City; her bio confirms it. Did no one think that perhaps she had no clue about Kentucky culture and speech?
Otherwise, the plot is fine, but it does drag at points. I felt like she was beating me over the head with certain points. I wanted to stand and scream, "I've got it! I've got it! Move on!"
Not a bad read, but there are so many more worthy books similar to this.
1.0 out of 5 stars only because I was marooned,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beautiful Bodies: A Novel (Paperback)
Really, really bad. Gross misuse of commas, so that I had to read and reread sentences twice to understand. Inappropriate use of quotation marks ("outed" doesn't have to be put in quotation marks anymore. What about this -- It was like waking up in a "foreign" country. Excuse me?) Repetitive character thoughts and dialogue. And these women are 38 -- do they not use contractions when they speak? . "I have a threshold and she is at the brink of it. One more truly terrible, hurtful remark and she is out of here." If the author can't police herself, where were the editor and line editor? Annoyingly drawn-out suspension over ridiculous issues (200 pp to find out if a boyfriend will call?)with little to no payback and the unforgiveable convention -- usually employed in children's books -- of forestalling suspense with a ringing doorbell or phone or arrival of another person. Presumption that readers are interested in many details and pitfalls of buying and owning New York City real estate. Interesting premise but inherently risky (all action takes place in two hours, 6 female characters, each with some secret they're debating telling their other friends) Some frequently clever turns of phrases, but after the first three chapters, a dud. (I was marooned with nothing else to read, so I finished it)
5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Spirits more than bodies,
By A Customer
The six best friends of the title have, I think, more beautiful spirits than bodies. That's what makes them great -- they are not falsely glamorized. they are very real, especially to me. I am sure I know these women, maybe I am one -- the one who throws the dinner party and is not ready and throws her cellphone out the window rather than wait for her new guy to call! I identify! They are true human beings,with funny idiosynchrasies who make mistakes and their friendships wax and wane, through 15 years and the one night that is the setup for this EXTREMELY FUNNY NOVEL. I wish I was a writer so I could adequately explain how much I enjoyed this , how smart it is and how uplifted it made me feel about myself, my best friends, the men, the one nighters and even my ex-husband! This is humanity, at its best, the fact that it makes you howl and cry is a triumph. I personally thought Martha the funniest creation, Lisbeth the most enduring...I wanted to be there with them. This is the real book, Girlfriends. Don't miss it!
5.0 out of 5 stars Read this book!,
By A Customer
All men should be required to read this book to understand what and how the women in their lives are thinking. Everyone should read it for the pleasure of it: for the great storytelling, and the kind of writing that makes you say, I could do that, until you realize how subtly textured and perfectly structured this book is and are grateful that you don't have to do it, that Cunningham's done it for you and done it beautifully.
She is, as is evident in all of her writing, a brilliant observer of human nature, and of women in particular. Each of the characters in Beautiful Bodies is fully fleshed, has strong opinions about the nature of that flesh, has desires, disappointments, triumphs, terrors, and articulates all these in a voice and idiom that's hers alone. They're great talkers, these women, with voices that are honest and familiar. I KNOW these women!
Don't be fooled by the light tone of the first pages. Cunningham has given us a very funny book, at times airy as a soufflé, yet these women are all grappling with the grittiest stuff life has to throw. And the overall effect - the taste in your mouth when the feast is over (Cunningham writes wonderfully about food; I wish she'd do a cookbook, it would be like standing in the kitchen with your best friend who happens to be a world class cook!) - is one of gratitude: Cunningham's women extend toward one another, after an often hilarious struggle, deep understanding and abiding compassion. It's a very rich book. I can't wait for her next one.
5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe I need testosterone shots,
Mr. Joe (Glendale, CA USA) - See all my reviews
BEAUTIFUL BODIES by Laura Shaine Cunningham is a "chick book" that I normally wouldn't pick up on a bet. However, I thoroughly enjoyed the author's two previous volumes of memoirs, SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS and A PLACE IN THE COUNTRY, and we've exchanged emails of mutual admiration, so I bit down on my emery board and got on with it. Just between you and me, I'm glad I did. But I'm left wondering if I need testosterone replacement therapy.
The plot tells you right off that it's not a book for Real Men. Six female pals in their mid-30s living in New York gather at a private dinner party at the apartment of one to have a baby shower for another. Baby shower? Yikes!
Jessie, the hostess, is a successful journalist still in the post-coital afterglow of an affair out in Colorado with one of her subjects. Nina, a chronic dieter and the primary caregiver for her dying mother, owns a nail salon. Nina is also fresh off an afternoon tryst with someone she met in her apartment building's laundry room, a New Age Sensitive Fella who invited her up for herbal tea ("Celestial Seasonings"). Sue Carol, a waitress and struggling thespian with a substance abuse problem, has just left her adulterous husband. Sue Carol savors all the little dramas in her life - they'll make her a better actress. Lisbeth, an ethereal, anorexic artist/model pining after a lost (and married) lover, spends a significant portion of her energy staving off her landlord's efforts to evict her from her rent-controlled apartment. Martha, a real estate agent obsessed with her exorbitant earnings and the material goodies they buy, has meticulously planned to have a child with her fiance, but has just learned that she's sterile. And lastly, Claire, the mother-to-be. Claire is an independent, free-spirited musician - she plays the krummhorn - who's happily made a world for herself in an 18 by 20 foot room in a local residence for women. She's blissfully happy with her pregnancy and the prospect of being a single mother. The baby's father, a global wanderer, may never be seen again.
For me, the chief fascination of BEAUTIFUL BODIES was in watching the nuances and shifting dynamics of the relationships between the six women as they come together on a winter night to celebrate Claire's impending motherhood and share secrets. For example, Nina is the first to show up at Jessie's apartment. Later, Lisbeth is the second guest to arrive, and:
"When a third woman enters the room, it is clear which two women are the closer friends. Triangles always come to a point."
And still later, as the assembled group sits for dinner:
"The others had taken their places, as the (place) cards indicated .... The lines were drawn. The dull knives waited."
For me, a simple guy, this is potentially scary stuff. My two favorite players are Jessie and Martha. Jessie, who desperately tries to keep her party on track in the face of spoken anxieties and revealed confidences. Jessie, whose own angst is growing. (Her new lover did promise to call at 8:00 PM, didn't he? Was he turned off my her mastectomy scar?) And Martha, whose catty criticisms comprise a potential flamethrower in an atmosphere of volatile emotions.
BEAUTIFUL BODIES is a wonderful, poignant, funny, touchy-feely book totally unsuitable for a troglodytic male unless he wants a brief glimpse into the female psyche. Having just been there, I think I'll regain a masculine perspective by having a beer with the Boys. If they'll still admit me to the Clubhouse, that is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Blissed Out with these Beautiful Bodies,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beautiful Bodies: A Novel (Paperback)
An absolute must-read. tells it like it is for women friends. The "little ripples" -- envy & love, laughs and wine. More bonding than YaYa Sisterhood...For women in 30s, 40s, it is On The Nose! Spot on! Deluscious, delish, the best dish! Curl up -- This is The best!
The sexual matter is lovely, in good taste, for a change.
5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it every page - Sheer pleasure,
By A Customer
As a single woman, aged 35, living in a big city but not New York, I was breathless from start to finish. I did not stop reading this book for a day and a half. Went without sleep. For me, this is the first book that describes a world I know, a life I lead. I identified completely with Jessie, the woman who must throw the party - and clean the cat box, cook the meal & and is so totally distracted yet pulls it off. A loving spirit infuses the very exciting sex with so much more than I accustomed to finding in a "great read." The stories are truthful, hilarious and heart breaking. Laugh, cry, lend to your best friend, your sister, your mother. A true depiction of female friendhip. I fell in love with the book, hope it is a movie or a tv series. Out-sexes sex and the city, with compassion for its characters.

President Mugabe yesterday paid tribute to a team of over 50 medical professionals who successfully performed a delicate operation to separate Siamese twins last Tuesday at Harare Children's Hospital, saying they did the country proud and deserved to be honoured.
Speaking after visiting the Murehwa twin boys - Kupakwashe and Tapiwanashe Chitiyo at the hospital - President Mugabe also said the incumbent Government was wholly Zanu-PF and nothing precluded it from implementing pro-people policies.
"I must say I am overwhelmed, so overwhelmed that I cannot express the sensitivity of it all," he said.
The President said he could not believe the news when he heard that a team of entirely local doctors had successfully separated conjoined twins here in Zimbabwe despite the sanctions-induced challenges the health system was facing.
"I said what! We? Zimbabweans? We Zimbabweans struggling under the burden of sanctions, despised in circles of Europe, America - how could we ever have done that? Immense difficulties, vast, vast areas of challenges - where did these doctors really get their learning from?
"Did they really manage to do it? I didn't believe it, but there it was, the truth of it and I said I must go see this mystery which has happened and see the people who have done it. So I came, I have seen and I am overwhelmed. I say to you congratulations.
Congratulations the entire team," President Mugabe said.
He also chronicled some of the challenges the health sector went through ranging from inability to replenish stocks of medical supplies to a decaying system as a result of sanctions yet the country kept going.
President Mugabe said in some areas of the world, Zimbabwe was a tarnished and despised country and the doctors had done the country proud.
"You have done not just yourselves proud, but also the nation proud. You have raised our name higher, higher from the level where it was," he said.
President Mugabe lamented the freezing of all Government posts, a situation that has affected thousands of nurses who are currently stranded.
All posts were frozen during the inclusive Government's five year stint by the then Finance Minister Mr Tendai Biti of the MDC-T.
Said President Mugabe; "Why did we train them? I was saying why did we train the people at all. Nekuti hatina mari? Izvo ndozvandakarambaka. We were talking about it the other day kuti no, we should not freeze any posts in health. Look at the country as a whole, the need that we have across the country for health, proper health facilities for healthcare to get to each and every village -- ndopototi ah no hatina mari. Ah ah hatingati hatina mari, nekuti mari iripo pasi pevhu apa. Ndipo patinoda kuifushunura ipapo," he said.
President Mugabe who was accompanied by First Lady Amai Grace Mugabe, said there were other things that the Government could not do for its people because of the Inclusive Government.
"Zviripo zvatakanga tisingagone kuita, takanga takasungwa mbira dzakondo painclusive Government. Manje inclusive Government hatisisinaka, tave nehurumunde yeZanu-PF ine policies dzeZanu-PF dzakanangana nezvido zvevanhu, nekunatsa vanhu vedu -- kusimudzira vanhu vedu so health, education, social services hadzingadzi dzashaya vashandi ivo vashandi vachidzidziswa. We train them and yet we want to freeze them, hazvifambirane izvozvo," the President said.
He said the success of the conjoined twins operation necessitated the greater need to review the job freeze policy.
"There will be greater now, greater desire for more to be done in the area of health. If our doctors can do this aah, let us ensure that we do more let's ensure that we give them greater capacity, we create greater capacity and supply more equipment, but of course also remunerate them well," he said.
President Mugabe said the national budget should take into account the need to equip health institutions with necessary machinery to enable professionals to do their work.
Speaking at the same occasion, Health and Child Care Minister Dr David Parirenyatwa, said Government was looking forward to transforming Harare Children's Hospital into a regional referral centre.
He said the recent operation of Siamese twins bore testimony to the fact that the country's health delivery system was returning to its former state of the 80s.
"Our health delivery system is returning to it's 1980s state where Zimbabwe was a beacon. Our professionals are helping us to return to this shining beacon," said Dr Parirenyatwa.
He said Government was committed to ensuring that the five main pillars of health namely; human resources, infrastructure, transport and communication, finance and disease burden were adequately addressed.
The First Family donated baby products to the Chitiyo boys.These included baby soap, washing soap, baby cream, baby oil, disposable nappies, bathing towels, towelling nappies, blankets, baby formula and other clothing.
Minister of State for Harare Provincial Affairs Miriam Chikukwa, deputy Minister of Health and Child Care Dr Paul Chimedza, deputy chief secretary Justine Mupamhanga, acting secretary for Health and Child Care Dr Christopher Tapfumaneyi, Harare Central Hospital board chairman Dr Douglas Gwatidzo and Health Services Board chairperson Dr Lovemore Mbengeranwa were part of the dignitaries who attended the event.

LANSING (AP) — State officials have agreed to pay for up to six months of housing assistance for former Michigan welfare recipients who lost their benefits after exceeding state and federal time limits.
Two state agencies are teaming up to provide three more months of housing assistance, twice what was originally offered.
The state Department of Human Services removed 11,000 families from the welfare rolls last November because they'd reached the five-year federal time limit. DHS had said those losing benefits would be offered three months' worth of assistance with housing and job placement. Now the assistance will last for six months.
DHS is contacting eligible families.
for the extension.

"Fantastic story"
The audio edition of the new novel from New York Times best-selling author Margaret Weis. The audio edition of the opening title in a new trilogy from Dragonlance setting co-creator Margaret Weis takes up where the War of Souls series left off with the central character, Mina. While following her story, this new trilogy also explores the chaos that is post-war Krynn. This is Weis's first solo trilogy in the Dragonlance world.
War can get a fellow killed. The fearless draconians of the War of the Lance have retired from the field of battle to a pleasant valley in the Kharolis Mountains. Well, it would be pleasant, if it weren't for some dwarves, whose irritating feuding prevents the draconians from realizing their greatest hope - the ability to continue their doomed race. When the dwarves discover a map leading to a fortune buried in the dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, the draconians are swept up in a feverish race for treasure.

Tanis and Flint, each a misfit in his own way, find themselves unlikely friends.But a pompous elf lord is mysteriously slain, and another elf soon meets the same fate. Tanis stands accused, and if his innocence cannot be proven, the half-elf will be banished forever.
"Great Book!"
The people of Krynn have known war in past ages. Some are still alive who remember the triumph of good at the conclusion of the War of the Lance. Still more remember the devastation of the Chaos War, which ended the Fourth Age of the world. But now a new war is about to begin, more terrible than any have known. This war is one for the very heart and soul of the world itself.
"Good story marred by odd non-standard pronuncation"
The Icewall: Cold, forbidding, remote, it stands like a dim white cloud on the very edge of sight. There Kerrick, an elf from the golden woods of Silvanesti, has been sent, an exile in disgrace. There too, a band of barbarian villagers make their stand against the remnants of an ogre empire that is determined to once again rule the frozen wastes. In the first book of this thrilling trilogy, Douglas Niles takes his listeners to a land that most in Krynn have heard of only in legen - the legend of the Icewall.
The first title in a new hardcover trilogy from New York Times best-selling author Richard A. Knaak. This direct follow-up to the recent best-selling War of Souls trilogy deals with the minotaurs, a species with which the author is particularly associated in the minds of Dragonlance fans.
"More boring than I imagined"

Hired to rescue a nobleman's daughter from behind enemy lines, the sellsword finds himself a pivotal player in the liberation of Nordmaar from the Red Dragon army. The Chronicler is charged to use the ancient Anvil of Time to travel back along the river of time and find the lost stories that fell between the pages of the history books of Krynn in this new series created and guided by the creative mind of Tracy Hickman.
"Interesting story, alittle different at the end"
Only fragments of the account of Huma survived the Cataclysm that broke the world of Krynn. The fullness of his tale has never been told – until now. One man took up the call to defend the world against the Queen of Darkness. He was the first Hero of the Lance, driven by his devotion to the Oath and the Measure and his love for a silver dragon. His life made him a hero. Here is the tale that made him a legend….
"Like a fine wine, this book keeps getting better!"
Khelben Arunsun, Chosen of Mystra, Archmage of Waterdeep, is as close to a demigod as you're likely to meet on the streets of Faern's mightiest city. But when the skies rain lightning and a long-forgotten city arises from the earth, he can seem like just another wizard.
"Author Comments on Audio Version"
This stunning new release of the classic R.A. Salvatore novel recounts the origins of Salvatore's signature dark elf character, Drizzt Do'Urden. This title kicks off The Legend of Drizzt series, which will showcase the classic dark elf novels in these new audiobook editions.
"Among the drow, all trust is foolish."
The War of the Spider Queen begins here. While their whole world is changing around them, four dark elves struggle against different enemies. Yet their paths will lead them all to the most terrifying discovery in the long history of the drow and set them on a quest to save not only Menzoberranzan but the entire dark elf race from Dissolution....
"A Dark Elf Series That Will Consume You..."
It can lay low a dragon or heal a wounded warrior. It is the most sought-after magical power in all Faern. And it is in the reluctant hands of Shandril of Highmoon, a young, orphaned kitchen-lass. Now she's on the run from half of the evil sorcerers in the land, not to mention their relentless minions. But with the help of a handsome young wizard, some rough-and-tumble Knights of Myth Drannor, and a certain old mage of Shadowdale, she just might manage to stay alive. At least until tomorrow.
"grab the paperback!"
It was the eve of the Time of Troubles. The chaos of spilled blood, lawless strife, monsters unleashed, and avatars roaming Faern was still to come. Unbeknownst to mortals, the gods had been summoned together, and among them was Mystra, grown proud and willful in the passing eons. With the others, she was about to be stripped of her godhood. The secret of her power gave her an idea. She made certain preparations, looking always for one who would be her successor.... But until that person's ascension, her power must be preserved.
"PURE ENTERTAINMENT! From start to finish"
Her name is Alias, and she is in big trouble. She is a sell-sword, a warrior-for-hire, and an adventuress. She awoke with a series of twisting, magical blue sigils inscribed on her arms and no memory of where she got them. Determined to learn the nature of the mysterious tattoo, Alias joins forces with an unlikely group of companions: the halfling bard, Ruskettle, the southern mage, Akabar, and the oddly silent lizard-man, Dragonbait.
"Really good D&D"
In ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic.... The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra - and her kisses were wonderful. It is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days, Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics. When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil sorcerers.
"Stands apart in the Forgotten Realms. Tremendous!"
When the gods are banished from the heavens, they must travel through Faern in the guise of mortals. When four companions, last survivors of the Company of the Lynx, find themselves in possession of a mysterious amulet, they must escape death at the hand of Bane, god of murder. When magic itself runs wild, no one can say that the most innocent of spells will not destroy the world.
"Middling storyline and uninspired delivery"
From the depths of the demiplane of shadow comes a new magic so mysterious it confounds even the Chosen of Mystra. From beneath the dune seas of Anauroch escapes one of Toril's most powerful and ancient evils - the phaerimm. From Evereska, the last elven refuge on comes word of invasion. From nowhere appears a group of enigmatic sorcerers determined to destroy the phaerimm and save Evereska... for purposes known only to themselves.
"Painful to listen too..."
Diran used to make his living as an assassin - one of the best money could buy. But after a life-altering spiritual experience, he's turned his back on killing. All he wants is peace.

Evil gods, giant spiders, murderous doppelgangers, flesh-eating ghouls, and wicked Zhentarim come to life in the action-packed novelization of the Baldur's Gate computer game form BioWare and Interplay.
"Does not follow the game's story at all"
On the fabled world of Krynn, Lord Soth finally learns that there is a price to pay for his long history of evil deeds, a price even an undead warrior might find horrifying. Dark powers transport Soth to Barovia, and there the death knight must face the dread minions of Count Strahn Von Zarovich, the vampire lord of the nightmare land. But with only a captive Vistani woman and an untrustworthy ghost for allies, Lord Soth soon discovers that he may have to join forces with the powerful vampire if he is ever to escape the realm of terror.
"An adequate story, good voice, but bad reading"
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.
"Love it...just one complaint...."
Your favorite award-winning, critically acclaimed, and best-selling authors unite to tell stories set in the Dungeons & Dragons world, filled with desperate dragons and cruel elves, honorable demons and fickle gods, wild magic and the sharpest of steel. You don't want to miss this rarest of opportunities to get a glimpse into the D&D adventures created by some of the most brilliant fantasy writers of our age.
"Great reader"
Imprisoned in the void of a ruined universe by vengeful gods, Tharizdun - the Chained God, the Elder Elemental Eye - shares his exile with the Progenitor, a pool of liquid crystal that is all that remains of the Abyss that destroyed his universe. Enter our heroes Albanon, Shara and Uldane - all three adventurers readers will know from The Mark of Nerath. They thought their quests were over and done with, but danger still burns like the embers of a smoldering fire in the tall grass.
"Decent but not the first book"
Under a previous sun, Athas teemed with life. The sorcerer-king, after obtaining immortality for himself, united all lands under the power of his magic. But power-hungry overlords have carved the lands into pieces - setting themselves up as sorcerer-kings--and survival depends on the optimism of three steadfast people.
"Espetacular character voices"
Although Evermeet seems to be a monument to the strength and solidarity of the elven people, its history is one of conflict. At the heart of its story is Amlaruil, Queen of All Elves. When Evermeet comes under attack, her sacrifice holds the last hope of saving the elven homeland. A classic fantasy centered around the clash between good and evil in a beautiful, magical, and romantic land.
"A dozen stories of a dozen elves"
A remorseless ranger. A sentient hell hound pelt with a penchant for pyromania. An irksome pixie who sells intrigue and information. Three companions who find themselves trapped in a city filled with warring priestly factions, devious machinations, and an angry fiend. To save the city, they must find three weapons of power, which lie in the most trap-laden, monster-infested place this side of Acererak's tomb: White Plume Mountain.
"A trip down memory lane...with monsters."
Death of a Darklord focuses on a young woman who finds that she has a talent for magic in a land and a family unforgiving of such abilities. Her tragic attempts to redeem herself in the eyes of her family involve aiding them on their quest to end the dark magic that has destroyed a neighboring town.

What do we call the (proper-class) function $$\mathrm{eval}(*,*)$$ such that for all functions $g$ and all $x \in \mathrm{dom} \;g$ we have $\mathrm{eval}(g,x) = g(x)$ ? I looked up 'evaluation function' but it seems to be a concept in game theory as opposed to the concept I'm looking for.

Explore below to see the inspiring adventures customers have experienced on their Bike Fridays over the years. Their stories motivate us to build the best bike for you.
You can modify your search by selecting criteria on the right, such as Country, Ride Style, etc.
When my passion for cycling re-emerged in 2001 whilst living in London, I soon realized that my daring riding style did not match the more limited confidence my wife had on road cycling, not part of the typical Arab girl upbringing. Yet, she offered us a weekend in Ironbridge, UK, where we had our first experience on a tandem in April 2004, cycling up and down the hills in some extraordinary countryside.
Ever since, I dreamed. We were already relocating to Dubai, so it took me a full year to order a red Bike Friday tandem Project Q (converts to single) even before buying our first car (a must in Dubai for the typical Western expat). A varied mix of events, and of course by then a suitable red SUV that fitted our red BF without dismantling, delayed our first real tandem travel experience until, in 2013, we put a deposit down for a tandem trip in Europe.
So we got the full tandem into a single bag (an over-sized bike by US standards, but that works perfectly in Europe/Middle East), with the benefit of not even disassembling the back wheel or the pedals!!!
We joined a trip organized by Santana, with mainly Americans couples, few Canadians and one Australian couple in July 2013 to cycle from Geneva all the way to Marseilles.
There was only another tandem Bike Friday (also red, pictured) and two single Bike Fridays, on an otherwise trip dominated by full-sized tandems, often lighter than ours, but where a tremendous group of people and couples proved that age doesn't matter when it comes to tandem cycling: we were amongst the youngest (in our late 30's) yet amongst the slowest.
By the end of the week, I know I'll tandem until my 80's and that every year I would be thinking about the same thing: When is my next tandem travel trip?
Only nuisance was to re-assemble the bike with the proper length (to the exact millimeter) for the timing chain and consequently all gearing/brakes to be tuned properly. Until we figured out that we didn't screw the frame tight enough, so it extended every time we sat, we struggled for 1-2 days with gear problems.
With a cruise boat taking us from place to place after we crossed the border from Switzerland to France, we had the advantage of luxury cruise travel (with five-course dinners) with plenty of cycling amongst the most amazing countryside scenery in Southeast France, from Chalon-sur-Saone in Burgundy region to Avignon and later Arles along the Rhone, close to the Mediterranean.
Great moments to remember: traditional Swiss dinner with fondue that never arrived, balanced promptly the following day with plenty of fondue; dinner at Paul Bocuse restaurant in Lyon (3-star Michelin for >30 years); afternoon with ex-Dubai expats in Lyon by the pool; bull ring show at Arles (not fighting); climbing to Baux de Provence; cycling past Pont du Gard (Roman aqueducts), etc.
I started this story hoping to make justice to how great this tandem trip was. I have no hope of being able to convey that unless I write a book, so my advice goes as follows: get a great convenient folding bike and start travelling.
If, as me, you want to be close to your partner, then get a tandem. My wife was not as keen on cycling as I was, but she ended up enjoying the cycling travel experience as much as I did, every single of the 50-60 miles/day, and she gave me the strength to stand up from the bed early in the morning and restart pedaling, every day. I am proud we made it happen.
I have now decided I want to repeat it, but soon with my son, and I'm in the process of receiving a triple from Bike Friday! Will give you an update in 10 years, at the latest! Have fun!

Originally written on Eagles Addict | Last updated 8/2/12
As Philadelphia Eagles training camp continues, the contenders and pretenders for roster spots are starting to separate themselves a little bit. Nothing is settled yet, of course, but there are a few new players who have a legitimate chance of making this team. By new players, I'm not referring to any of the Eagles' draft picks because for the most part, they are all virtual locks for the roster (except for maybe the late-round guys). Instead, I'm talking about undrafted free agent rookies as well as first year guys and veteran additions this offseason. In other words, any non-draft pick that is new to the team this year. There is some excellent competition happening up at Lehigh right now. Once the preseason games start, players will have an even better chance at separating themselves from the pack and earning a spot on the 53-man roster. There really aren't that many positions open, but here are the guys that have a better shot than most… TE Brett Brackett Photo: Matt Smith/...

Defense isn't sexy like offense. Those hard-hitting tackles may feed a masochistic urge for some, but for the most part, it's not as fun to watch as a spectacular wide receiver catch. Some defensive players get the ink, but invariably the media attention goes to the offense. Any NFL coach knows, however, when it comes to the fourth quarter, you don't want those last minutes with your defense on the field.
You want a powerful running back grinning out two, three yard gains in the final minutes.
The Packers got a rude reminder of how important defense was with their 30 to 22 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Here's a team built on defensive ends, line backers and safeties.… Read more

A key member of Kansas' 2008 national championship basketball team shouldn't have been eligible to play in college, according to a Dallas television station. WFAA-TV alleged last night that Kansas sophomore forward Darrell Arthur had unmerited grade changes that kept him eligible at South Oak Cliff High.
WFAA quoted Arthurs former math teacher, Winford Ashmore, saying he was asked by then-principal Donald Moten and current basketball coach James Mays to inflate Arthurs grades in his prep freshman year of 2002-03.
"Since Darrell Arthur really did not pass algebra, which means he did not clear the (NCAA) clearinghouse, that also means that he really should not have been eligible for a Division I major college scholarship," Ashmore said.
The station documented three cases of Arthurs grades being altered.
The 6-9 Arthur declared for the NBA draft in April but said he wouldn't hire an agent, so that he could remain eligible to stay at Kansas. He was an All-Big 12 first team selection this season and his 12.8 scoring average was tied for second best among the Jayhawks. He led Kansas in blocked shots and was second on the team with a 6.3 rebounding average. Arthur also posted five double-doubles this season, including a 20-point, 10-rebound effort against Memphis that was crucial to Kansas winning the NCAA championship game.
UPDATE: Coach Mays is calling the WFAA story "ridiculous" and says Arthur "has always been an excellent student, and I can't say anything but good things about him." Adds Mays: "He finished with a 3.0 grade point average this semester (at Kansas), even though he entered the draft . . . We're not talking about a dumb jock here, and that's what this story makes it sounds like."
WFAA said former principal Moten declined to comment and that school district officials are promising a complete investigation. The station noted that similar irregularities with grades involving another player, Kendrake Johnigan, already has led to South Oak Cliff forfeiting a 2006 state championship.
Nothing in the WFAA report alleged wrongdoing by Kansas, where the athletic department has declined comment. But this story is certain to add to an already tumultuous offseason for college basketball, where recruiting is under heavy scrutiny.

The rude awakening received by shareholders of Mega Brands Inc. may be a stark reminder: Computer programs are only as smart as the people who operate them.
The shares of the Montreal-based toy company had a wild opening, plunging 20 per cent in the first few minutes of trading before bouncing back dramatically, gaining back all those declines and then some. While the details of the strange ride remain sketchy, it looks likely that a mix-up involving the company's share consolidation and a programmed "sell" order may have caused a computer program to automatically sell the stock in the opening seconds of the day before the error was caught.
The stock began the day at a lofty $10 - a big change from its close of 50 cents on Tuesday. That was because the company's previously announced 1-for-20 share consolidation (sometimes called a reverse stock split) took effect at Wednesday's opening bell. Within seconds, though, the stock started falling - fast.
Before a minute of trading had passed, it had dropped to $8. Seconds after that, there were trades posted as low as $5.51, but all the trades below $8 were subsequently cancelled, according to trading data provided by Bloomberg.
After a lull of several minutes in trading, the stock came storming back. By 10 a.m., it was above $10 again, and remained in positive territory the rest of the day.
The root of the dramatic action would appear to lie in the share consolidation, which drastically changed the share price - and a programmed trade that somehow didn't get the message straight.
"I think the early-morning trades were incorrect trades. Certain individuals perhaps weren't aware of the details of the share consolidation," said Peter Ferrante, vice- president and chief financial officer of Mega Brands.
Trading sources theorized that a trading program wasn't updated properly - or wasn't updated at all - to reflect the impact of the share consolidation on Mega Brands' stock price. So when the stock opened at 20 times its previous close, the program would have read this as a price above the level at which it had been instructed to automatically sell - so, it did.
Buyers, seeing the steady flow of sell orders hitting the market, would have taken advantage by offering to buy them at progressively lower prices. The trading program would have been willing to sell at these falling prices, because the price was still far above the levels that triggered its instructions to sell.
A single trading desk, at CIBC World Markets, was responsible for almost all the sell orders in the opening minute, executing dozens of trades, generally in 500-share chunks. CIBC World Markets declined to comment and there's no way of knowing whether it was the seller or whether a client placed the sell orders through CIBC's trading desk.
David Thomas, spokesman for the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada - the market regulatory authority - said "We're aware of it," but otherwise declined further comment.
Mr. Ferrante of Mega Brands stressed that there shouldn't have been any confusion in the market about the consolidation - the company had disseminated the details well in advance. Mega Brands announced on May 25 that its board had approved the consolidation, and on June 10 it confirmed that it had been approved by shareholders and regulators - at that time stating that it would take effect at the opening on June 15.
