Congratulations to the amazing Neil Gaiman for winning the Newbery award for
the Graveyard Book
. It was a wonderful story, and I believe will have a broader appeal than some of Newbery's more esoteric picks, some of which have come under criticism in the last few years.

Happy New Year!
It's another year to look forward to, with a list of books waiting for me to read them. Sadly, that includes the rest of the Nancy Drew series. I didn't make it too far on them last year. But Nancy Drew is forever, so eventually, I will make my goal and make it through the original series.
Right now I am reading two different books. Normally, I have my first book of the year all picked out am waiting to pick it up come New Year's Eve, but this year, I found myself in the middle of two books. The first one, I got for Christmas, and is a very interesting compilation of the columns Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote. They are quite an interesting mixture of advice on keeping a house and working a farm and life philosophy (she encourages napping. I knew I liked her.). The second book is Dewey, which is about a cat that is adopted by a library. That's the book club book for February. Neither are what I'd normally choose as my first book of the year, but I am enjoying both of them (though Dewey is a bit sappy for me).
I am going to try and keep this journal updated this year, because I definitely neglected it in 2008, which is actually kind of funny, because I read a lot and had plenty of books to discuss in 2008. To see what I read in 2008, you can find me on
and keep up with my list.
What are YOU kicking off the new year reading?

Happy New Year, Faithful Readers! I hope you all resolved to read more wonderful books this year. I resolve that every year. Also to stop cussing. I'm better at the book thing (What? I'm trying!).
I actually only got one book for Christmas, if you can believe it (I can't. What the heck, people?), and it was the amazing
Official Nancy Drew Handbook
. This wonderful little volume contains tips on things like escaping from quicksand and choosing the right nail polish. And of course, this reminded me that my move this year allowed me to get my Nancy Drew books out of storage and back where I could get to them (although sadly, still not onto the shelves as I still don't have any). So one of my long standing goals has been to work my way through the original series. This seems an ideal time to start, peppering them throughout my regular reading for the year. With that in mind, my first book of the year was the first ever Nancy Drew book, the Secret of the Old Clock, wherein Nancy discovers her yen for detecting. I am reading from the 1970s double release books in their liliac covers. These were handed down from a stepbrother's wife, which changed my Nancy Drew reading from library available to being at my fingertips. For a book crazed kid, this was, of course, ideal. The only series I remember with more affection is the Cherry Ames books, which no one seems to remember, but which featured a charmingly red cheeked nurse solving mysteries and saving lives during WWII and immediately following. Nancy Drew is a close second, maybe even pulling into first on the basis of availability alone. But somehow, inexplicably, I have never managed to work my way through the entire series (I've made some pretty good efforts though).
I would love to have some of you join me. Let's go! This year, let's ask ourselves - What would Nancy Drew Do?
The answer is obvious: Solve the mystery, get the guy, help the less fortunate and do it all in her sporty blue roadster with not a titan hair out of place. What could be better than that?
Next time: What was the last book of 2007?

Well, I think it's safe to say I fail at NaBloPoMo. The truth is, I had a terrible stressful week where lots of bad things happened (including two family members making trips to the emergency room (everyone is okay)), and I let this journal get away from me and after that it was easier to just keep not posting than to post. I apologize.
I have also not actually completed a book since my last post either. I was working on Microtrends, by Mark Penn and E. Kinney Zalesne for my book club at work. The concept - that the world is fragmenting into smaller groups and those smaller groups are holding more sway in the public and political arenas - was interesting, but ultimately, it didn't impart any exciting new ideas, and the trends he used as examples were by and large pretty well known and discussed already. I chose not to finish the book and instead just read select essays on trends (education, web romances, gaming) that interested me. I found it interesting that despite his claims that these groups were significant because they had a new power, he was still quite dismissive of some, particularly gamers. "More people are gaming than ever. *joke about making room in the basement* *joke about 30 year olds living at home.*" Not exactly mind blowingly innovative. The discussions on various trends made for a very interesting book group discussion though.
Next month we are reading Lean, Mean Thirteen by Janet Evanovich. I've tried like four times to write a review on this book and my eventual conclusion was that I couldn't think of anything to say about it. It was good, not great. DISCUSS. That's January. February's selection is the Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs…it promises to be interesting…I think. It should be either hilarious or DEEPLY AWFUL so at the very least it should make for interesting discussion. Only time and me getting my hands on a copy will tell. But since it's not until February, I have some time to decide.
In the meanwhile, I am trying to work my way through this is Your Brain on Music by Daniel Levitin. I am enjoying it on one level, because it is a subject that is totally fascinating (why we choose the music we choose and what it means to our brains), but my brain is having a little trouble getting engaged as well. I suspect part of the problem is that I have been reading it in snippets instead of in concentrated settings and because some of the concepts are complex, I keep having to go back some to remind me where I left off.
Anyway, again, I'm sorry I dropped off the face of the earth, and it wasn't because I don't have plenty of things to talk about, so hopefully it won't happen again.

paranormal romance
All I can see is...the water heater was not the worst part of my week. Hopefully by tomorrow night I will be recovered and have more to say. In the meanwhile here are a couple of items for you.
Good Reads
is a fun site where you can list the books you have read or even that you want to read. You can look for me under gryphonmage...I couldn't figure out how to do a direct link to my account.
Bookshelves of Doom
. Probably my favorite book site on the web. The literary focus primary for young adult literature, but there's a lot of pop culture discussion and great info on book bannings and challenges around the country.
Finally - vampires in romances are hot hot hot. Christine Feehan has been writing "paranormal romances" for ages and recently released her first manga - a retelling of an earlier novel. I just read High Stakes, a vampire romance/chicklit/mystery by Eric McCarthy.
There are paranormal romances featuring other supernatural critters, but vamps dominate the field to the point where they practically make up their own subgenre. Are any of you reading this trend? What do you think? Are you digging it or do you think it's just horning in on fantasy/supernatural fiction you'd have been reading instead? Let's hear it!

(no subject)
Christmas is peeking it's head around the corner now. Thanksgiving has passed and in my family it is heralded with overstuffed bellies (hello, Mr. Turkey. We love you.) and endless rounds of Christmas music. And accompanying this music is Christmas shopping. I personally purchase a plethora of books each year for Christmas. My nieces, in particular, get a book for Christmas and their birthdays every year. This year, the youngest is getting a couple of the Charlie and Lola books by Lauren Child's for her birthday and Stellaluna for Christmas. The elder one is getting Amelia Bedelia for Christmas and I have NO IDEA WHAT for her birthday. Fortunately, that is in January so I have some time.
Do you buy books for presents for people? I am either very bad or very good about depending on your perspective, because I get them for everyone, all the time. It's flat! It's easy to ship! When you live 1, 500 miles away from most of your friends and family these are issues you have to consider. This year I went to the Kentucky book fair and spent a ton of money on books, which I was able to get personalized by the authors and am now hording for Christmas gifts.
So let's hear it. Are books the gift you love to get or is it better to give than to receive? (I enjoy both equally, for the...that's a lie, I love to give them but not as much as I love to get them.)
YA lit post still in the works! It kind of stalled out on me.

Mike Rowe - Dirty Jobs.
Today my apartment flooded. My water heater broke and leaked all over everything. Dining room, laundry room, downstairs bathroom and halfway down the hall. Fortunately, nothing (amazingly enough) sems to have been ruined. Other than the water heater. some clean laundry that was sitting in front of the dryer waiting to be folded is going to have to be rewashed, I'm running low on towels, and I have no water, but things could be worse. My guitar, which I have been trying to learn to play again, came within a few inches of the water, or rather, the water came within a few inches of it.
I am still working on my post on young adult literature. I meant to be done with it, but I got distracted by reading some of it. The Outsiders can literally make me bawl by like page two and through til the end, if you were wondering. And if you weren't, well, now you know anyway. I consider the outsiders to be a cultural common denominator. Everyone I know read the book growing up, and every girl I know wanted to marry one of the guys. They were like a boy band with switch blades. For the record, I was a Darry girl, which explains a lot about me. Theoretically. Did you read this book growing up? Did you relate to one of the characters (or simply plan to date one of the characters) more than one of the other?
Let's hear it!

Donny Osmond Artist Bio and Lyrics
Donny Osmond was a popular '80s artist. Born Donald Clark Osmond in 1957, Donny Osmond first became popular singing with a group featuring him and his brothers, the Osmonds. He also had a prolific solo career throughout the decade, and became a prominent teen idol.
Alongside David Cassidy, he was one of the most featured cover boys for the magazine Tiger Beat. His hit single "Puppy Love" catapulted the young performer to international fame.
Donny later formed a singing group with his sister. Marie Osmond first made it to Number One on the Billboard Country Music charts in the year 1973 with her single "Paper Roses."
Together, the pair would go on to have their own syndicated television show between the years of 1976 and 1979. After ABC president Fred Silverman saw the brother and sister team guest host a week on the Mike Douglas Show, he offered Donny and Marie their own program. The show followed on the heals of their success with a series of remakes of popular songs, including "I'm Leaving It (All) Up To You," "Deep Purple," "Make The World Go Away," and "Morning Side of the Mountain." Both Donny and Marie continue to pursue solo careers to this day.
The albums of Donny and Marie Osmond include I'm Leaving It All Up To You, Make the World Go Away, Donny & Marie – Featuring Songs from Their Television Show, Donny & Marie – A New Season, The Osmonds' Christmas Album, Winning Combination, and Goin' Coconuts.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to do something I had never done before, something I never imagined would be possible.I had a one-on-one telephone conversation with my mother - my profoundly deaf mother. It all started when my cell phone rang Saturday evening, and I heard my dad on the other end. I didn't think too much of it at first, despite the fact that he was calling from a number I didn't recognize. My dad is also deaf, but due to a cochlear implant, he's able to hear much better than my mom, and can conduct very basic telephone conversations with me, as long as I speak up. Then my mom started talking. I didn't know how to respond. I thought, perhaps, she wanted to tell me something herself, without needing to talk to me directly. If she needed me to tell her something, she would have called the video relay service she's used for the last few years ... right? As I was babbling to my mother in confused fashion on the phone, the strangest thing happened. She started answering the very thing I was saying to her. I thought someone was playing a joke on me. I thought my brother was holding the phone, and interpreting everything I was saying, and giving her the phone to respond to me. After all, my mother has one percent hearing in one ear, and zero percent in the other. Finally, my mom explained that everything I was saying, was appearing on her computer screen in real time, and that she was, indeed, holding the phone and responding to me without anyone's help. At that point, I heard an excitement in her voice I had never heard before. Slowly, I began to lower my voice, realizing I didn't need to speak loudly for her to understand what I was saying. I then sat down in the bedroom of my apartment, and talked with her as I would with anyone else. As the conversation continued, all kinds of new possibilities came into my mind, regarding what my parents would be able to do as a result of this new development. Aside from having significance for the entire deaf community, this relay service will bring my own family conveniences that, until now, were only a dream. The conversations wouldn't have to be as long, because there would be no need for my parents and me to go through an interpreter. We wouldn't feel the need to tiptoe around certain subjects, since there would be no third party on the phone. My mom will now be able to talk to her grandchildren on the phone. On the one hand, I thought about all the things many families take for granted, that deaf people are only now beginning to take advantage of. On the other, I was reveling in the fact that my parents will no longer be relegated to the outside, looking in. When I went to my parents' house Sunday afternoon, my parents were still calling various hearing people, to show off their new discovery. They were also calling their deaf friends, to tell them about their latest find. At that moment, two things came to my mind. First, I thought about how bizarre it was to see my mother talking on the telephone. Second, I thought about how many times, during my teenage years, she pointed out how much time I was spending on the phone. Now, I guess it's my mom's turn, and I couldn't be happier for her.

A project to move power lines underground on Pawleys Island will begin later this year, according to Mayor Bill Otis.
The mayor gave an update on the town to the Pawleys Island Civic Association at the Pawleys Island Chapel on Aug. 30.
The first phase of the project will bury the power lines between the North and South Causeways and affect 414 property owners.
In order for the work to be done easements will be needed from property owners for Santee Cooper, Time Warner Cable and Horry Telephone Cooperative.
Otis said the work cannot begin until all the easements are in hand and urged the property owners in attendance to submit the paperwork.
No work on burying power lines will take place during the summer, Otis said.
Phase two of the project, burying lines north of the North Causeway, is expected to start in 2016.
Phase three, everything south of the South Causeway, should begin in 2017.
Otis said the town has been planning the powerline project for 10 years.
We are looking forward to [on] our whole island, our utilities being underground, Otis said.
Other business
Myrtle Avenue in front of Town Hall was being repaved last week as the final step in a sewer project.
Otis told Civic Association members that problems began in the old cast iron sewer line near the Pelican Inn on Myrtle Avenue before Easter.
The same problem then occurred in front of Town Hall right before Fourth of July.
Otis said Georgetown County Water and Sewer wanted to begin tearing up Myrtle Avenue to fix the problem before the Fourth of July holiday.
The town convinced them to delay the work.
Otis told them they would have a mess they would not soon forget if they didnt delay.
The Water and Sewer department used cameras to check 3,600 feet of the sewer line and discovered there could be another problem at the corner of Hazard Street and Myrtle Avenue that will eventually need to be fixed, Otis said.
Otis touted the success of the cameras on the North and South Causeways, which photograph the license plate of every vehicle being driven on the island.
The word is out that Pawleys Island has cameras, Otis said.
The cameras helped catch a sex offender, Otis said.
The mayor drew laughs from the audience when he said a Litchfield property owner told him all you did was send [the criminals] to us.
Otis reminded Civic Association members that the annual creek/beach sweep will be Sept. 20, from 9 a.m. to noon.
Volunteers should stop by the Nature Park first to find out where to go on the island.
Linwood Altman, chairman of the Civic Association, praised Otis for his years of service to the town, joking that he couldnt remember who was mayor before.
We appreciate the fact that we still look like Pawleys Island, not like Myrtle Beach, Altman said.

Keith Rivers, OLB USC
Is he really good, or does he stand out because this is such a
miserable year for linebackers? It's a little of both. He has the
body, the quickness, and the pop to be an impact playmaker on the
outside and he plays faster than he actually is. Tough enough to
play on the inside and quick enough to wreak havoc on the outside,
he could end up being a better pro than a college player if he's
turned loose more often into the backfield. He's not going to be a
top-shelf run stuffer and he's not a sure-thing Pro Bowl star, but
he'll start for a long time.
CFN Projection: First Round
2. Dan Connor, OLB Penn State
A typical Penn
State linebacker, Connor is a great tackler, is all over the field, and
gives all-out effort all the time. It says something that he's the
all-time leading tackler at Linebacker U. finishing up his great career
with 145 stops and 15 tackles for loss. He even grew into more of a pass
rusher making 6.5 sacks, but he's not going to get into the backfield on
a regular basis in the NFL. He's not Paul Posluszny and he can't play on
the outside, but he'll be a nice starter who'll make a ton of tackles.
CFN Projection: Second Round
3. Jerod Mayo, OLB/ILB Tennessee
One of the high
risers among scouting circles, everyone came late to the party; this guy
was one of the SEC's best players for a few years even with his knee
problems. While he looks more like a pumped up safety and a thick,
blow-'em-up linebacker, he's a great tackler who can play inside and out
in any system. He makes a lot of mistakes, but they're usually errors
coming from trying too hard. He needs to be on the outside to be a star,
and both will happen.
CFN Projection: Second Round
Curtis Lofton, ILB Oklahoma
A tremendous inside presence, the 243-pound playmaker is a consistent
big-hitter who's great when the spotlight goes on. The best pure inside
linebacker in the draft, Lofton plays better than his athleticism
because he always knows what he's doing and has great anticipation.
While he might not be able to run down too many speedsters, he takes
good enough angles to overcome his lack of raw speed. He's a flat-out
CFN Projection: Second Round
Quentin Groves, OLB/DE Auburn
Groves is a
textbook example of how lazy scouts can be. He came back for his senior
year and was a bit of a disappointment, which led to him getting
downgraded. Lost in the analysis by many was how Groves tried to play
through dislocated toes, not just a toe, along with a shoulder. If used
right, he's going to be a devastating pro with tremendous speed to be a
perfect 3-4 outside linebacker/defensive end. He needs to turn up the
intensity and he could get more physical against the run, but he's the
type of toy defensive coordinators love to play with.
CFN Projection: Second Round
6. Beau Bell, LB UNLV
It would've been interesting to have seen him at the Combine, but a
knee injury suffered at the Senior Bowl kept him under wraps. He needs
to get in better overall shape and he needs a lot of work on his overall
technique and skills, but once he gets some NFL conditioning the upside
is limitless. It can play either inside or out, can rush the passer or
hold up against a power running game, and he was great last year against
the pass. He's a huge hitter. A HUGE hitter.
CFN Projection: Second Round
7. Erin Henderson, OLB Maryland
While he's not huge and is a bit lanky at 6-2 and 244 pounds, he
plays bigger than he is with excellent toughness and good tackling
skills. He's a leader who isn't afraid to tell players what to do, in a
good way. Good in pass coverage and quick enough to get into the
backfield, he's an active player who came up 17.5 tackles for loss along
with 247 tackles in two years. He's not a big hitter and he's not an
elite athlete, but he'll be able to handle himself well at either
outside spot.
CFN Projection: Second Round
Jordon Dizon, LB Colorado
undersized, ultra-productive tackler who came up with a whopping 297
stops, most of them solo, over the last two seasons. He's always
working, has a tremendous motor, and finds his way to the ball over and
over again. He's a good athlete, but he's not an elite one and it'll be
asking a lot to hold up in a 16-game schedule at just 5-11 and 229
pounds. He plays through everything, including dehydration issues, and
he'll have to prove he can handle the duties on the outside, but he'll
be a major-league producer in the right system.
CFN Projection: Third to Fourth Round
Cliff Avril, OLB/DE Purdue
What do you want to do with him? A huge linebacker at close to 6-3,
253 pounds, he can be used on the end and can be an ideal outside player
in the 3-4. Big enough to be moved inside if needed, his versatility
will keep him on a team for a long time. Strong, not just big, he can
handle himself well against the more physical teams. However, he needs
to be tougher against the run. He's not quite a good enough athlete to
dominate on the outside; he'll be a jack-of-all-trades, master of none.
CFN Projection: Late Fourth Round To Early Fifth
Marcus Howard, OLB/DE Georgia
Originally considered poor man's Quentin Groves as an NFL prospect,
Howard is an undersized defensive end who has to make the full-time
conversion to outside linebacker. At 6-0 and 237 pounds, he's not all
that small, and he shocked everyone by tearing off a 4.45 in post-season
workouts to get on the radar. While he only did it for one year at
Georgia, serving as a backup for the first three seasons, he turned into
a tremendous pass rusher. He's a finesse player who'll have to learn to
be more than just a pass rusher, the upside is limitless.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round
11. Geno Hayes, LB Florida State
A tremendous athlete with good speed and a great nose for getting
into the backfield, Hayes closes in a heartbeat and he finds ways to
make plays. He's not big at only 6-0 and 227 pounds, but he plays bigger
and hits like a ton of bricks. However, that's his size; he's not going
to get bigger. Purely a weakside linebacker at the next level, he could
be an ultra-productive starter if he has help around him.
CFN Projection: Third Round
Ali Highsmith, OLB LSU
mega-disappointment in a few off-season workouts, he timed at 4.76 in
the 40 and was knocked down a few pegs. He's a great athlete who plays
faster than he is, and he's been a good, tough producer at the highest
level for the last three years. The biggest problem is his size. At 6-0
and 220 pounds, with little room to get bigger, but he should still
flourish as a weakside defender who can play in space. As long as he
doesn't have to be too physical, he'll be fine.
CFN Projection: Third Round
13. Xavier Adibi, OLB Viginia Tech
A phenomenal athlete who might be a big undersized, built more like a
big safety than a tough outside linebacker, he was tremendously
productive and a great running mate next to Vince Hall. He'll get killed
by the more physical NFL blockers and he's not going to hit anyone hard,
but he has the make-up and the speed to be a phenomenal cog in right
system. He has the potential to be a far better pro than he was in
college, and he was great at Tech.
CFN Projection: Second Round
14. Philip Wheeler, OLB Georgia Tech
big outside playmaker who was a good all-around player for the Yellow
Jackets for the last three years, Wheeler has the look of a defender who
can do a little of everything. However, he's not a power linebacker and
can get shoved around, and he's not all that fast and not that great in
pass coverage. He started out his career as a defensive back and he has
that kind of all-around athleticism, but he could use some more work on
his game to find the right niche in a defense.
CFN Projection: Third Round
15. J Leman, ILB Illinois
An overachiever
with a true linebacker's mentality, he knows exactly what he's doing at
all times, doesn't make mistakes, and never misses a tackle with 284 and
29.5 tackles for loss over the last two seasons. He's not exactly nimble
and he doesn't stuff plays as much as he happens to get in on them, and
while his name gets called all the time, he's not the playmaker you'd
think he is considering all the stops. Even so, he's a player.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round
16. Spencer Larsen, ILB Arizona
An ultra-productive overachiever with nice size, good toughness, and
the smarts and leadership to be someone's main man in the middle for a
long time if he gets help around him. Not the best of athletes and not
the biggest of hitters, he struggles in pass coverage and can get blown
up at times, but he makes up for his deficiencies with his drive and
effort. He's the type of guy you want on your team.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round
Tavares Gooden, LB Miami
With excellent size to play inside or our, the athleticism to be a
disruptive force in the right system, and coming off a productive year
on a bad team, Gooden has the potential to be a great pro. The problem
is that he'll need time and coaching. He made a lot of tackles being
moved inside in his senior season, but he has to be on the outside in
the NFL. Is he tough enough and can he handle an NFL playbook? There are
just enough question marks to keep him from being a sure-thing starter.
CFN Projection: Late Second Round To Early Third Round
Stanford Keglar, OLB Purdue
A hard-working hitter with nice size and surprising speed, he's a
good all-around linebacker who could be a nice backup in just about any
system. He upped his stock in a huge way with some great off-season
workouts and showing off better athleticism than expected at the
Combine. He's smart, will work his tail off, and will do whatever is
needed. He'll stick around the league for a long time and could grow
into a starter.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round
19. Jolonn Dunbar, ILB Boston College
Not quite big
enough to be a full-season inside presence at the NFL level, the 6-0,
231-pound Dunbar is a good player who attacks the ball and was the
leader of the Eagle defense over the last two seasons. He can get erased
at times against bigger blockers, but he's a hard-worker with great
character. He'll have to be a special teamer early on to stick, and
he'll be willing to do it.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round
20. Jameel McClain, ILB Syracuse
A good college defensive end, he's too small to play on the line at the
next level and will have to work to become a decent linebacker. He's a
tough player who'll handle himself well when the plays come to him, but
can he become a sideline-to-sideline performer? He's not the athlete to
be special, but he could be a decent piece to be moved around in
someone's puzzle.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round
Bryan Kehl, OLB BYU
At 6-2 and close to 240 pounds, he has the size to play on the
inside or either outside spot, and he has good enough speed to become a
pass rusher. He'll work his tail off and will do whatever it takes to
get on the field and make a team, but he has to get functionally
stronger. He was great in the off-season workout circuit and stood out
next to the other linebackers.
CFN Projection: Fourth Round
Curtis Gatewood, OLB Vanderbilt
Can be be a
linebacker? A good end at Vandy, he's a linebacker at the next level. A
classic tweener, he's 6-2 and 248 pounds with decent, but not great
speed. He has good potential but he needs to become a better overall
athlete by getting into outside linebacker shape and hitting the
weight-room harder. He can do that. With good character and work effort,
he could make himself into a nice all-around defender.
CFN Projection: Fourth To Fifth Round
23. Jonathan Goff, ILB Vanderbilt
He was toying around with the idea of coming out last year but stuck
around and had his best year at Vandy with 113 tackles and 6.5 tackles
for loss, He also made himself a much better pass defender. A smart,
tough leader with great character, he's the type of player who could be
a main man for a corps ... at least from the head up. He's just not
fluid and he doesn't play tough enough against the power running teams.
He makes a lot of tackles, but he's not necessarily a top hitter.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
24. Robert James, OLB Arizona State
safety athleticism and excellent pop, he's an intimidating player who
can blow up a ball-carrier and he isn't afraid to get his uniform dirty.
The big question is his durability. Banged up throughout his career, he
finally broke through as a senior. He has the strength, but at only 5-11
and 225 pounds, he's purely a weakside prospect.
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
Wesley Woodyard, OLB Kentucky
Very small
but very productive, he plays much, much bigger than his 6-0, 227-pound
size making 361 tackles over the last three years as the leader of the
UK D. He's always working and is always all over the field looking to
make something happen, but he's not going to blow anyone up and he's
going to get shoved around by stronger running teams. He timed fast
(4.53) but can he play faster in pass coverage? If so, he'll have a nice
career as a backup on the weakside.
CFN Projection: Fifth To Sixth Round
26. Ezra Butler, OLB Nevada
A phenomenally productive hitter for the last three years, he was
the WAC's best defensive player with the ability to rush the passer and
fill a hole for the running game equally well. A one-time defensive end
with 4.57 speed, he can play any of the three linebacking spots. The
problem is how much he looks the part and how much he really is the real
deal at the NFL level. As good as he was, he could've done a lot more
for the Wolf Pack. A stats guy, he earned his honors, but he was a bit
CFN Projection: Fifth Round
Bruce Davis, OLB/DE UCLA
At 6-2 and 252 pounds, he's too small to be a defensive end
and too slow to be a top outside linebacker. He was a tremendous pass
rusher who was always in the backfield and was always hitting the
quarterback. While he doesn't have more to his game than just being a
pass rusher, at least not yet, he showed off in off-season workouts and
at the Combine that he has the potential to become a good linebacker if
given time to develop.
CFN Projection: Sixth Round
28. Ben Moffitt, ILB South Florida
A great producer as the heart of the USF defense for the last three
years, Moffitt started the last 38 games and made 312 stops in the last
three seasons. Forget about putting him on the outside, he's not a good
enough athlete, and he's not as good a tackler as his production would
suggest. If he's not in the middle, he can't be on the field at the next
CFN Projection: Seventh Round
Marc Magro, LB West Virginia
A tough, strong
tackler who has a non-stop motor and makes plays with hustle, Magro
transformed himself into a decent pass rusher and a good all-around
player after serving as a key reserve for three years. However, he only
did it for one season, has problems with his knees, and isn't a good
enough athlete to be more than a backup.
CFN Projection: Seventh Round
Vince Hall, ILB Virginia Tech
It's not fair. An ultra-productive college player with a ton of
heart and a ton of caring about his craft. He's just not quite big
enough and he's certainly not fast enough. At 5-11 and 232 pounds, he's
not small, but he doesn't have the ideal inside size, and running a
horrendous 5.08 40, he scared off anyone who thought he could be put on
the outside. Even so, making 404 tackles in four years talks.
CFN Projection: Seventh Round
31. Gary Guyton, LB Georgia Tech
Versatile enough to play inside or out, the 6-1, 245-pounder ran
extremely well this off-season and showed that he could become a good
playmaker with more work. He needs to hit the weights after a lousy
performance at the Combine, but he showed off good athleticism and
showed great promise. He'll have to b e a special teamer early on, but
in time he might be a steady part of a rotation.
CFN Projection: Seventh Round
Titus Brown, OLB/DE Mississippi State
Too small to be a
defensive end and too slow to be a linebacker, there's simply no place
for him at the pro level. He'll work hard and he'll try to do whatever
he can, but he'll have to find the absolute perfect fit to be
productive. He performed at the highest level in the SEC and he could
find a niche as a situational pass rusher. If he doesn't get into the
backfield early in camp, he'll have a hard time sticking.
CFN Projection: Seventh Round To Free Agent
33. Alvin Bowen, OLB Iowa State
"Ace" was a
tremendously productive all-around playmaker for the Cyclones for the
last two seasons making 254 stops, and while he has excellent
athleticism and is a great tackler, he times really, really slow. Like
4.89 slow. Considering he's 6-0 and 223 pounds, that's not good. He can
get pushed round too much and he needs to get a lot stronger to make a
CFN Projection: Seventh Round To Free Agent
34. Curtis Johnson, OLB Clark Atlanta
Dominant at
the lower level, he was just good enough in off-season workouts and in
the all-star circuit to merit a shot to grow into a steady outside
linebacker. He didn't time that well, cranking out a 4.77 40, and he has
to overcome the stigma from the weak competition he faced and the
transition to a new position to make a team. A coaching staff will have
to be patient.

The Red Sox sent utility man Mike Aviles to Puerto Rico for two weeks to help him get acclimated with right field, a position currently up for grabs. Aviles took advantage of the opportunity, and to his surprise, actually enjoyed roaming right.
Via WEEI:
"I had to leave my family for a couple of weeks, but it was a lot more positives because going into spring training now I feel comfortable playing in the outfield just as if I were in the infield. I won't feel like a liability, whether it's spring training or not. I just don't want to feel like I'm hurting the team at any point at any time."
"Actually when I went to winter ball this winter, playing every single day out there, I actually enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would... I enjoyed the outfield just as much as I did playing the infield, and I was actually kind of surprised by that. I just wanted to be on the field, whether was infield or outfield."
I don't know what the stadium he played at in Puerto Rico looks like, but it wasn't Fenway's right field. So hopefully he'll get plenty of chances to field balls in Boston before the season begins.
And, barring something wild happening, Mike Aviles will not be the Sox every day right fielder; he'll keep his super utility cape on all season. But the Sox want to get his bat into the lineup (he hit .317 over 38 games in Boston last year) so getting him comfortable in right just makes sense. Still, it's nice to see him forfeiting some of his winter to get cozy in a new position.

I have had several people over time stop me while I am out hiking (training) and ask about the sign on my back which says "2656 miles." I tell them a brief history about my three cancers and my hiking the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) and on many occasions they have donated cash right on the spot.
This time, a young couple (turned out to be a brother and sister) stopped me and asked about the sign on my back. After telling them my story, he said he wanted to help my cause and asked where I would be hiking for the next hour. He didn't have anything on him, but he was going to go home and get something to donate. He was not talking about cash and he indicated that he was going to set a package behind that pole (he pointed) at the edge of the field.
Yes folks, he was donating MJ to the cause. I refused his kind offer, but told him I would not hesitate to use MJ if I thought it would help.

1.0 out of 5 stars In the Garden of good and evil,
L. O'Connell "scifireader" (Chicago, Il USA) - See all my reviews
I resolve never to read a book that combines science fiction with religion again. I found the book to be slow, boring and of no value. I forced myself to finish it only to see if I could find those redeeming values so elequently spoken of by other reviewers.
Maybe I just don't get it but, I could not follow the issue of the heresy that Ruiz-Sanchez espoused. The issue is central, so that in itself is probably why I don't get the book. I also found the characters to be very shallow and single dimensioned.
Finally, the great evil that Ramon saw in the Lithians was not explained well. I simply saw a different culture, not a culture created as the entithesis of God. A planet of Satans? I didn't see it.
I don't need "Star Wars" action to enjoy a book. Subtle science fiction, like Asimov, often is more appealing and thought-provoking than books heavily relying on battles and crises. I enjoy an author who challenges his/her readers to rethink their understanding of the universe. The only thing Blish got me to think about is when will I finish the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars Nexialism at work,
A. G. Plumb "Greg Plumb" (Melbourne, Australia) - See all my reviews
Around 1951 A E van Vogt wrote a science fiction novel called 'The Voyage of the Space Beagle' (which seems to me to be a precursor to 'Star Trek'). In it he proposes a science of nexialism. Here is van Vogt's definition of nexialism - '... the science of joining in an orderly fashion the knowledge of one field of learning with that of other fields'. In this age of specialisation I believe nexialism could be very profitable - there are too few polymaths these days.
So why did I start this review of a novel by James Blish with commentary on one of A E van Vogt. Both of these writers are, of course, science fiction writers and I enjoy re-reading the 'classics' of science fiction to see what excited me so much when I first read them. For example, I recently re-read (and reviewed) A E van Vogt's 'The World of Null A'. Sadly this disappointed me despite its engaging introduction to 'Science and Sanity' and its P K Dick-like twists and shifts. I was not at all disappointed by 'A Case of Conscience' - this is immensely readable, inventive, well-structured and surprising (even when I knew roughly what was coming).
One of the great pleasures of science fiction is the way it can engage (but doesn't always do so) many fields of human endeavour. The political insight of Ursula LeGuin (such as in 'The Disposessed'), the metaphysics of P K Dick (such as in 'Ubik'), the studies of paranormal phenomena (such as Robert Silverberg's 'Dying Inside'), the studies of time travel (such as Alfred Bester's 'The Men Who Murdered Mohammed'). In each case there is nexialism at work - the combining of one aspect of human endeavour with speculations about it. 'A Case of Conscience' draws theology into science fiction and I am sure that every reader of this novel will take away more than just the memory of an engaging yarn. It opened my mind to theological questioning and debate that i suspect I may never have approached otherwise.
5.0 out of 5 stars Theological science-fiction,
Four scientists - including Father Ruiz-Sanchez, a Jesuit and biologist - are sent to planet Lithia in order to produce a report detailing their thoughts about its future possibilities for Earth. Depending on their own interests, they have different views on the planet and its inhabitants, including Chtexa, a lithian metallurgist with whom Ruiz-Sanchez speaks at lenght, and, later, Chtexa's son Egtverchi, who grows up on Earth in the middle of a crisis which he himself aggravates via a TV show he appears in. The focus of the first part of the book is on Ruiz-Sanchez: the fact that Lithians seem to live according to the morals of Christianity without its dogmas forms the bulk of his self-interrogation, although the conflict between religious dogma, pure reason and human passions is only a fraction of the wide range of themes that Blish explores in 'A Case of conscience'. The dual structure of the book is quite clear, and both halves are absolutely necessary: the first, set in Lithia, is mainly concerned with causes (the exploration of Lithia and the mission of the four scientists), and the second, set on Earth, with effects. One could argue that the structure is only apparently dual and that the book's title is only partially correct - every character, from Ruiz-Sanchez to Michelis to Egtverchi, has his/her own case of conscience, something which is underlined not only in the first half of the book, but also in the underrated, complex second half. This is one of those works that can be re-read many times and still reveal new possible interpretations.
5.0 out of 5 stars Thoughtful treatment of Christianity and science fiction,
Bruce H (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This is one of the most thought provoking SF novels I have read (particularly the ending). On occasion, I finish a novel in such a way that makes me close the novel and just think about it for a while. Walter Miller's "A Canticle for Leibowitz," is the only other novel I have read that is like it in all the science fiction I have read. It seems science fiction authors find it difficult to deal with religion (especially Christianity) in a serious fashion. There is frequent repetition of a pathetic caricature of Christians as irrational fideists whereas the scientist is generally depicted as a noble person who pursues truth throughout the science fiction genre. Blish was himself an agnostic.
The novel features humanity's first contact with alien race which humanity calls the "Lithians." The aliens have no native religion to speak of, their society is completely stable and they are moral, to the point of perfection. A committee sent by the United Nations (UN) to evaluate how Earth should view this new world. Technologically and scientifically, the Lithians are ahead of Earth in some areas and vice versa. It is coincidence that humanity has invented nuclear weapons and an efficient way to travel across interstellar distances.
The team sent to evaluate Lithia is composed of a chemist, a physicist, another person, and a Jesuit biologist called Ruiz-Sanchez. The team has some friction but it is still required to reach a decision; its recommendation to the UN will determine the state of future relations between Earth and Lithia. Opinion is divided; one wants to open relations and start learning from the Lithian's impressive social strucutre. Another wishes to make Lithia into a planet-wide nuclear weapons factory. Ruiz-Sanchez wants to quarantine it; cut if off from all future contact with man.
As the team is about to leave, one of the Lithians gives Ruiz-Sanchez a young Lithian in an artificial womb. The alien has his name, Egtverchi, encoded into his DNA somehow. He survives the journey back to Earth and starts to grow up with no contact with his native world. He gains UN citizenship and becomes something of a celebrity. Then, Egtverchi becomes a media personality of sorts who stirs up social dissent among the insane and other social rejects. One interesting aspect of the society on Earth in 2050 is that almost everybody lives in underground cities. This is set up as a consequence to the nuclear arms race; countries slowly moved their entire populace under ground until a "Shelter economy" is created. This fear of nuclear destruction and speculation about an underground society somewhat dates the novel but it is otherwise difficult to see that the novel was in fact written in 1959. There are some stylistic anachronisms (e.g. Blish uses the term "Earthmen" for the humans who visit Lithia and the term "rocket" is used for space ships) but, like Heinlein's "Starship Troopers" (this novel, which I have also reviewed, aged better) it has aged well.
Ruiz-Sanchez's inner struggle is well written conflict but the nature of the conflict is somewhat ambiguous. He regards the morally perfect, unbelieving Lithians as elaborate creations of the Adversary (Blish's use of this term instead of "Devil" or "Satan" somehow makes the whole concept more plausible, in my view) to confuse man. Ruiz-Sanchez's audience with Pope has some of the better dialogue and conflict in the novel; it is unfortunately short.
There are a few flaws in the novel that detract from it. First, the story was initially meant as a novella. The section of the novel that takes place in Lithia was initially its own story and then Blish decided to improve on it. This leaves the novel with an awkward sort of transition. The other members of the original Lithia commission are not developed in any meaningful way; their role seems relegated solely to being foils for Ruiz-Sanchez. The "scientific" appendix on Lithia can only be described as superfluous; no use of made of this "data." It is world building for the sake of world building; I would advise any reader to finish the main text of the novel and then just stop.
This novel is a valuable contribution to the genre due to its interesting exploration of religion. It seems to be a theme that the most easily deployed form of religion in SF is Roman Catholicism; an interesting trend, I think.
4.0 out of 5 stars Knowledge and Heresy,
L. Rodney Ford (Athens, AL USA) - See all my reviews
There were two trees in the Garden of Eden - the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge. Like many before him, Father Ruiz-Sanchez, a primary character of "A Case of Conscience" by James Blish, sought to eat of both trees. He was a priest who is also a scientist. As most of those before him who have done the same, he found himself in danger of separation from God - or, at least, the Church. He found himself a heretic. But, have not many great creations and improvements (even revolutionary changes) in the quality of life of mankind been brought about by (at least, those labelled) heretics?
I greatly enjoy reading science fiction that was written before I was born - 1965. I believe that reading such texts widens my perspective when considering history. It helps me to see what may have been lost or gained in the attitudes of men since the time of publication. It affords me a view of the past from a perspecitve that I could not otherwise achieve. As so many science fiction writers, especially in earlier decades, have been labelled heretics or blasphemers, I think reading their works affords me a view from more objective eyes - from the eyes of those who were so labelled or shunned because they did not simply accept what they were taught or continue to accept dogmatic traditions. From such eyes, I believe that lost truth can sometimes be found. I found all of these attributes and joys that I desire upon reading "A Case of Conscience".
In all ages, it seems, men have struggled with reconciling their desire for BOTH the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge - even when there is no temptress or serpent around. This story describes such a struggle in a time beyond our own, but written by a man from a time before our own. I find that interesting and thought-provoking and I think that you will, too.
5.0 out of 5 stars Devoured in one sitting,
Alan Sweeney (Phoenix, AZ) - See all my reviews
Well, to sum up my feelings about this novel, it is intellectually stimulating, fun (here it helps to have some affinity for SF tales with religious themes), and at times amusing (Egtverchi's ultrasuccessful TV show for kids? Come on, it's worth a snicker), surreal, and satiric. Anyone who thinks the middle portion is boring must have glossed over the "party sequence" with the traipsing thugs of Egtverchi, the train rides, the psychotropic gases, the Senator's...um, goings-on in the basement, etc. etc. Anyone who says this novel lacks for incident has got to be screwy. For the reviewer who just "couldn't see" Lithia as a planet of Satans ... well, Lithia wasn't a planet of Satans. It was, through a series intellectual abstractions based on certain givens of Catholic dogma, determined to be evil in nature. You are supposed to like the Lithians -- you are supposed to feel sorry for them. You aren't supposed to like what Ramon has unveiled. This novel treats aspects of Catholic law in the same way the laws of physics work in "The Cold Equations." It is a vigorous extrapolative "what-if." It can also a be read as a (relatively mild) attack on Cold War thinking -- the Shelter Economy presages Dr. Strangelove's infamous "mineshaft gap" satire. True, the characterization is thin. But then, neither Ramon nor Egtverchi nor any of the other players on Blish's stage are the protagonists. The protagonist, just as in "The Cold Equations," is unstoppable Law. Taken from this perspective, this novel is a tour-de-force. Recommended.
3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but unfocussed,
Craig MACKINNON (Thunder Bay, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This is the story of a group of men sent to evaluate a new-found planet for suitability of use by Man. The planet already has a race of intellegent beings (they are reptilian, like seemingly every other intellegent alien in science fiction!), who have a perfecly evolved society. There is no crime, no unemployment, no nations, etc. And there is no religion, which bothers one of the evaluation team, who happens to be a Jesuit. By Catholic (and Protestant, Jewish, Islamic, etc.) theology, perfection cannot be obtained in the absence of God, so this raises a quandry for the priest - either God doesn't exist, or this planet is a trap set by the Devil to snare mankind.
With such a setup, I thought this novel would primarily deal with how the aliens are reconciled to Catholicism. Instead, it follows the latter path, along the belief that the planet is an illusion created by the Adversary, and how the church must deal with it in that light. This is a brave, and somewhat unexpected path, and I applaud the author for taking it. Unfortunately, the setup is contrived artificially.
By setting the novel 100 years (at the time it was written) into the future, Blish creates two worlds - the fictional future and the alien world of Lithia. Thus, the morality play takes place in an Earth that doesn't exist. This distracts the reader, and detracts from the value of the novel. Still, it's an interesting book, and I recommend it with the reservation that is seems contrived at times, in spite of the well-written prose.
3.0 out of 5 stars I wanted to like it,
Kurt Granzow (Portland, OR United States) - See all my reviews
I really wanted to like this book. As a science fiction fan who happens to be a minister, I was looking forward to how James Blish would explore the idea of religion in a sci fi setting. While I still like the idea, I had a hard time making it through this book. The book gets off to a good start on the planet Lithia as Sanchez and the others disvocer some surprising revelations and discuss whether or not to allow the planet to be opened up or to close it off to further contact. However, as soon as we get back to Earth, things slow down considerably and the book loses alot of momentum. I think the biggest problem is that I wasn't really sure what Blish was trying to say. What does it all mean. Of course, this could be a problem of my own ignorance and missing the point rather than a flaw in the book. If you like your sci fi novels plot driven and full of action, this is not the book for you. If you like your sci fi to be more thoughtful and character driven, this book might be worth your while to pick up just because it IS one of those classic sci fi novels that made an impact on the genre. Personally, this is not a book I regret reading, but not one I would want to read again either. Maybe I just wanted too badly to like it.
4.0 out of 5 stars A clash of science and faith,
Blish is known for his subtle writing ,his flowing style. This book is dated. Yet ,veteran sci-fi readers will be able to enjoy this work. Lithia is a jungle world ,Lithians are it's 12ft dragonlike dominant species. They are highly inteligent ,polite ,and gentle. Their society has no writen laws ,yet there's no crime on Lithia ,no out-casts ,no psychopaths. They all conform yet every Lithian is truly an individual. Infact ,though they're world has no art ,no religion ,no spiritual activity at all ,they all act like perfect christians.
Father Ramon Ruiz-Sanches is part of the Lithia commitee. While the other members have their reasons to open Lithia ( to make it a nuclear-bombs factory for example ), Padre' believes that the whole planet is a big trap made by Satan ,to show humanity that logic alone is enaugh to guide beings towards good.
Padre' fails in closing the planet to earth ,and brings with him a lithian egg ,from which grows an orphan lithian ,who's a genius but with a total lack of respect to authority and a twisted mind. He wrecks havoc on earth playing on the mob's feeling of frustration and hatred and anarchy.
in the end good prevails ,but Blish never setteld the question whether the victory over the threat was divine-intervention or man-made.
Cute book. recommended for old sci-fi lovers ,and soft sci-fi readers.
2.0 out of 5 stars mostly outdated fears,
This review is from: Case of Conscience (Mass Market Paperback)
Four males visit a planet of highly intelligent dragons that have no vices, no misfits, no art, no iron, no magnetism, no electriocity, but a different kind of technology in which they are more advanced then earthlings. Two of the men want all the lithium that's availlable on the planet for themselves (to make bombs in this cold war dated book). One other thinks it's morally dangerous at the planet. No sin exists there. But this is not because of religion and redemption, since these do not exist on that planet. The jesuiet thinks this planet is the Devil's attempt to make Christianity obsolete. For a contemporaine secular reader this makes it a bit hard to really get into that story, and that particular fear of the devil, or the greed for bombs.
The dragons are very well done, though. Their society, their planet, and technology are all new and very interesting to read about. As are the hillarious and deeply frightening adventures of the sole dragon that is to visit the earth. He, the dislocated orphan, functions knowingly and willingly as a catalisator for the previously burried feelings of discontent in the people who feel they don't fit in society. Blish strikes a nerve there that hasn't changed much since the book received the Hugo Award in 1959.
Perhaps the Devil had a hand in it after all.

I have 15 days left before I can return my Atrix 2. I truly despise this POS device because of the lack of an open bootloader. That is my fault for not checking on here before I bought it. My questions is, should I just return it or is an unlocked bootloader on the horizon, (3 weeks or so. Heh heh). Thanks.
As far as the bootloader goes we'll call it even odds on being unlocked eventually. However I have spoken with the developer working on kexec for the A2 and it is nearly ready. He's just got a couple of issues to work out before releasing it to everyone. Don't give up a2 owners,hope is on the horizon!
