Product description
"Wind in the Blood" is a detailed look at Mayan medicine on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula and its similarities to Chinese traditional medicine. It was originally published in Spanish as a manual for health workers in Mayan areas to bridge the gulf between Western medcal technique and Mayan medical knowledge. Mexican physicians Hernan Garcia, Antonio Sierra, and Hiberto Balam discovered that the similarities between Mayan medicine and traditional Chinese medcine were profound and helpful in their medical work.

"The authors skillfully weave together the fabric of traditional Mayan medicine, using Chinese medicine as the loom. The result is a rich and complex tapestry of indigenous healing practices and contemporary Mayan culture that will surprise and delight a North American audience." - Medea Benjamin

"In All Politics Is Global, Daniel Drezner argues that states clearly retain the ability to influence and direct the world economy. He shapes his argument with clear and convincing points that he applies to areas ranging from international finance to the Internet. Despite globalization, he argues, the desires and capabilities of national states continue to define the contours of the world economic order. This careful study will be relevant to all those interested in understanding the interplay of international markets and international politics."--Jeffry Frieden, Harvard University
"This important contribution to international relations theory will be of great interest to public policy practitioners--civil servants and their political masters--who find themselves today increasingly embroiled in international disputes over domestic issues. Drezner addresses with insight and in detail a welter of contemporary issues such as Internet governance and privacy, international finance and financial crises, genetically modified organisms, and the conflict between intellectual property and public health."--Kenneth W. Dam, former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State and Deputy Secretary of the Treasury
"Daniel Drezner takes on a complicated question: who, if anyone, regulates the global economy? His answer: states with large markets, when those states act in concert. Drezner's study is theoretically and methodologically sophisticated. His use of case studies is honest and convincing. Along the way, there is a rich review of many literatures. All Politics Is Global shows the 'hows' and 'whys' of great-power regulation, and explains why it sometimes fails. Along the way, we learn a lot about the roles and futures of nonstate actors in the global economy. All Politics Is Global adds up to a major contribution to the literature of international political economy."--Henry S. Bienen, President of Northwestern University
"The beauty and attraction of Drezner's work on global regulation stems from its bold attempt to apply classic international relations theory to a topic long dominated by legal scholars, economists, and sociologists. Drezner bravely offers a big-picture account of global regulation that is analytical and focused on a few fundamental questions. This is stimulating and original research on a very timely global issue. It is the sort of book I have long been looking for."--Walter Mattli, St. John's College, University of Oxford
"Daniel Drezner's All Politics Is Global is original, compelling, and written with dazzling clarity. The controversies Drezner addresses push forward theoretical and policy debates that are vitally important. The conceptual and empirical core of the book is first-rate, the evidence and arguments of his case studies are fascinating, and the book fills an obvious gap in the literature."--Louis Pauly, University of Toronto

"If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

The Algerian Connection
Why did Saddam financially support an al Qaeda affiliate in Algeria?
12:00 AM, Aug 3, 2005 • By THOMAS JOSCELYN
LATE LAST MONTH an Algerian-born terrorist named Ahmed Ressam received a commuted sentence of 22 years (prosecutors had recommended 35 years) in prison for his role in planning to blow up the Los Angeles airport. His sentence infuriated many since his involvement in the plot against LAX was immediately transparent. After all, he was captured in December 1999 after driving off a ferry from British Columbia in a vehicle laden with bomb-making explosives.
Ressam received a commuted sentence after providing investigators with good intelligence about the al Qaeda network which spawned the plot. (Ressam has since stopped cooperating.) Indeed, Ressam's failed attempt against LAX was part of a series of al Qaeda-related attacks against targets around the world (in Jordan, Australia, and elsewhere) at the turn of the new millennium. There is still much about these planned attacks we do not know.
Ressam's story, like that of so many other al Qaeda-affiliated terrorists, contains an endless list of murky connections to a host of nefarious people and groups. The most troubling of these ties is to al Qaeda's Algerian affiliates, the Armed Islamic Group (aka the "GIA") and its descendant, the Salafi Group for Preaching and Combat (the "GSPC"). The history of the GIA is an especially violent one and Ressam is just one of many terrorists to have operated under its auspices. Indeed, the Algerian tentacle of the vast terror network executed scores of lethal attacks spanning more than a decade.
IT IS A CURIOUS FACT, then, that Saddam Hussein provided financial assistance to the GIA when it was in its earliest stages of germination. There is still much we do not know about Saddam's relationship with al Qaeda's Algerian affiliate. But, Iraq's relationship with the GIA warrants further investigation given its tortuous history.
THE ROOTS OF SADDAM'S RELATIONSHIP with the GIA trace back to the 1991 Gulf War. The group's early history is particularly useful in understanding why Saddam would offer the GIA his support.
As the war approached, Saddam sought and received support from a conspicuous group of Islamist radicals. Among them was the Sudanese leader Hassan al-Turabi and an Algerian Islamist named Abbas Madani, both of whom traveled to Baghdad in the months prior to the war and declared their support for Saddam.
Madani was then the leader of Algeria's Islamic Salvation Front (the "FIS"), which was a consortium of four Islamist parties formed to obtain democratically-elected political power. Madani was somewhat more tempered in his support for Saddam than his cohort, Ali Benhadj, because he feared (correctly) that support for Saddam would end Saudi financial support for the FIS.
Writing in Al Qaeda's Armies, Middle East expert Jonathan Schanzer explains that as the Gulf War neared the "FIS became increasingly pro-Iraq and anti-U.S., as seen through their slogans, protests, and even training camps for volunteers to fight for Saddam Hussein's Iraq. The U.S. conflict with Iraq was a powerful symbol of FIS's soaring popularity."
INDEED, the FIS leadership leveraged popular support for Saddam within Algeria to the point that it was on the verge of taking power in 1992. To avoid a takeover by the Islamists, however, the ruling Algerian government and army cancelled the final round of elections. Martial law was imposed, Madani and Benhadj were thrown in jail, and the more radical elements within the FIS, including many former Arab Afghans, left its ranks to join the burgeoning GIA.
The "Arab Afghans" were among the earliest leaders of the GIA. Bin Laden's patronage of the group proved especially beneficial as hundreds of former veterans from the war in Afghanistan were soon redeployed to Algeria to swell the GIA's ranks. By some accounts, bin Laden is said to have personally arranged for the financing and necessary travel documents to be provided to upwards of 1,000 or more "Arab Afghans" who returned or relocated to Algerian soil. Al Qaeda's number two, Ayman al Zawahiri, is also said to have played a vital role in the group's formation.

Originally written on Waiting For Next Year | Last updated 11/30/12
If Anderson Varejao, Zach Randolph and Marc Gasol aren't on the All-Star team, it's a farce. Anderson Varejao has been the best forward in the Eastern Conference this year. I mean of there mere mortals — I don't count LeBron, he's one of those aliens. But out of the normal human beings, Anderson Varejao has been the best forward in the Eastern Conference this year. – TNT analyst and resident non-filtered voice Charles Barkley, Thursday night, when discussing the front court which should play in Houston for the 2012-13 NBA All-Star game. Barkley, at this stage, is merely echoing Cavaliers head coach Byron Scott who has been his center's biggest supporter. It is worth noting that Barkley has a bit of a history when it comes to not being very kind to Cleveland with his commentary. [Related: Anderson Varejao: Cleveland's "All-Star Guy"] (h/t Jason Lloyd, ABJ)

I'm obviously new here but I have been reading comics for about 18 years. Deadpool is my favorite marvel, I kind of slacked up on my comic reading the past two years just been picking them up off an on. Anyway I was told that Deadpool is no longer insane and has lost his healing factor and that this all happened before he joined X-force, I recently read the comics where angel now archangel was pretty much taking over where apocalypse left off. In these comics the iceman form the Aoa unicerse freezes deadpool and shatters him into peices and he later shows up just fine. so what Im asking is did he regain his healing factor? if so when?

Euphoria Men by Calvin Klein
Euphoria men is a mediocre after shower with its generic sparkling approach made of citrus, synthetic airy floral notes, sweet spices, fruits and ginger. It's energizing, clean and masculine with the following woodsy patchouli and some green note. It's rather balanced but a bit too unispired and faint. The juice is rather common in its smell and, as well as other underlined, stands in a range crowded by better appointed fragrances. Not a disaster anyway.

The undergraduate and graduate programs in environmental studies are interdisciplinary in nature, exposing students to the critical links between the areas of environmental life sciences, technology and policy.
At the undergraduate level, students gain the necessary skills for entry-level field and research positions. Class lectures and guest speakers introduce the importance of policy-making and awareness in the environmental field, while laboratory and internship experiences provide a working knowledge of the latest in environmental technology and field practices.
The graduate programs provide two options for students to further their studies in the environmental life sciences. The Master of Science in Environmental Studies is a thesis-based program designed for those individuals interested pursuing research in the environmental field. The Master of Environmental Studies (the non-thesis program) is a terminal, two-year professional degree for individuals working in the private/public sector of the environmental field.

Thanks for stopping by.
Allow me to describe myself. I have a silly and irreverent sense of humor (think Sarah Silverman) and I don't take myself seriously outside of my work. I am a huge fan of Howard Stern and I love to be around people who make me laugh. I'm quasi-addicted to CrossFit and I love to run races, though I have no aspirations of doing a marathon nor am I willing to do anything that involves vats of mud. I generally work out 6-7 days per week as I find that it's a big part of my social life as well as my sanity :) If you think that we might click, send me a note. Thanks again

Seeing orbs in DS room
That would really scare me, but stuff like that does. Maybe contact a medium in your area to see if they can comfirm that it is your Aunt
Blake Andrew 8/4/11
I don't have a similar experience but I do believe young children, especially babies see things we cannot. If you think what he is seeing and playing with is a loving relative who has passed then I don't see the harm. It would be wonderful to truly feel as if my LO were being watched over by someone special to me, his own guardian angel!
Happy mama to a Florida beach baby
Defective boobies ( . Y . )
I have never heard of orbs? is that like a ghost? i certainly beleive in ghosts because i have seen one.
it sounds like an angel...your aunt!
I think that is amazing! My DS had something similar. (with a good and bad spirit) the good one he would sit on the floor for HOURS or in his crib and talk and talk and talk to something that wasnt there, he would wave bye bye when I told him his friend had to go so he could sleep and he always would throw kisses to no where after nightly prayer.
He also had a bad expierence with a spirit and he would scream very loudly, and one night I went in an asked him what was wrong, he was at the age of JUST being able to speak full sentances, and he said that there was a bad man by his fan and he hit him in the chest and he mimicked the "hitting" action. And sure as hell, I lifted up his shirt and there was a large red mark on his chest. Since then, I have cleansed the room myself and have had no expierences with the bad spirit anymore. Bue he is 3 now and still talks to/ plays with someone that I can not see.

I'm not quite sure what triggered the latest wave of anti-Google sentiment, from the death of Google Appsto the concept of Google stealing Apple's ideas (really?) but I suspect it won't go anywhere. For all the corporate spending on Apple-hatred in the Windows-versus-Mac debate, Apple has gained a sizable share, even against a corporate behemoth with a lock-in application like Microsoft Office. Ultimately, thanks to the Internet, the decision is largely in the hands of the user – we simply get to decide the best system, even if we are driven there by advertising, and we assess it.
Obviously, since I wrote a book on Google Apps (for full disclosure), you might suspect I'm pro-Google, but actually throughout my career I have been choosing tools that best create solutions. There were times when this was Microsoft Access over PeopleSoft, Microsoft Excel over Salesforce.com and the Ghost operating system over a Linux deployment, and even SQL Server over MySQL. Ultimately, in my line of work, I have to make a choice about how to meet the needs of users in the simplest and most cost-effective manner.
In recent times, I have been a big proponent of Google Apps, simply because of its unparalleled collaboration, accessibility and cost, even though it falls short of the full capabilities of Microsoft Office. My rationale here is based upon the fact that most users of Office in most companies don't use its full capabilities, the training is easier, and the Gmail and Calendar platforms are superior to the Microsoft offering in almost every respect. In an economic environment that enables tens-of-thousands-of-dollars of savings for a better product, this seems an easy decision to make.
But in the wake of this anti-Google onslaught (including the incredibly spurious charge that Google is less secure than Microsoft, which is mindboggling at best), I wanted to make some neutral points that I hope would be considered without a bias towards any of the Big Three (Microsoft, Google and Apple):
Microsoft's business model is centered around creating software that excludes other providers. It's often excellent, sometimes appalling, but always builds on the brand to create a sense of how computers should operate. There's a reason why airplanes don't use Windows, but there's also a reason why 90% of the world's computers use the same operating system. From the Microsoft people I have met, my opinion is that they have no understanding of where everything is headed, no real understanding of users' goals, and it's quite clear to me that their classic "copy/buy/destroy" model must come to an end. Microsoft has copied almost every major competitor, and has failed on Bob, Xbox, Zune, Live – and my prediction soon would be Bing.
Apple has an excellent eye for design and user-interface acceptance, and has succeeded mainly on these two strengths without trying to take a lead in issues such as security and acceptance by corporations. Its near-fanatical following guarantees revenues even in the face of design disasters (iPod batteries, for example), but this is entirely understandable since many users confused by Windows – and they are often smart people, just to confirm – find a home in the Mac operating system enabling them to complete their tasks.
Linux has been an extraordinary success in the server market and a monumental failure in the consumer arena, against my predictions otherwise. Netbooks with Linux are returned four-times more frequently than Windows-based machines that are slower. I suspect that Linux has a few small jumps to get into the mainstream: installations have to be more obvious (please give me a MSI file instead of forcing me to burn an ISO), and skins could be designed that assist Windows users to transition. Ultimately, Linux is a more efficient and stable system and could provide a better environment for many users – but it needs some serious usability work. When users buying a $250 browser-heavy machine pay an extra 20% for Windows, they are sending you a message.
Google does deliver. It gives us everything for free while making money out of search. If Microsoft or Apple made money from our search, I suspect it would not be used in philanthropic ways. Of all the people I've met at Google, there is an enormous passion around making systems open, embracing the Internet, and – corny as it may sound – "not doing evil". The concept that Google Chrome is trying to break Microsoft or the new Google O/S is trying to compete with Mac OS is nonsense, since both systems are engrained in open source technologies and aim to solve more complex problems (such as caching, offline access, temporary databases, and so on).Ultimately, it's up to us as consumers to evaluate these companies and their technologies. But my guess, given we're on the cusp of a technological singularity, is that Microsoft is not leading any movement right now, and there is a mutual push across alternative solutions that will draw us towards a technological solution that is more successful. I wish the media were more insightful on this topic, given the changes, but for now we look to the informal network of blogs and user groups to see the real trends, while the traditional media continues to fight against new technology.

This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
With an urge for some mind-blowing horror and a touch of insanity on the side, I opened this book with an unhealthy need for pure evil. So, with my soda on hand, I dimmed the lights and stoked the fire. When I finished, I not only had a bad case of paranoia, but also a newfound respect for Picirilli.
Twisting at each turn, The Deceased manages to intrigue and horrify. A plot so convoluted, you find yourself bound and screaming for more. The only problem being that it perplexes you almost to the point of bailing out. It never manages to hold you while maintaining at best a simple touchstone. So remember to prepare to be thrown with no rope in sight. Opening right into the action, the pace is erratic and unavailing. I suggest you keep a paper bag available at all times should you become light headed.
The characters had almost no backstory, no real insight into who they are in depth and it worked so well for this book. The characters actually feel secondary to the events in the story and that was absolutely genius. With a hallucinogenic atmosphere, Picirilli manages to coat the air with confusion and a serpentine reality. So laden was it, that you feel as if your walking through a blinding fog. Abandoning structure of any kind, the author's style of writing is still one of the best and sadly least celebrated. With an elegance almost forgotten today, he writes with grace and always succeeds to be original.
I give this book a 4 Pack the suitcase, console your mother, this is a book that will not only terrify you; it may lead you straight to madness!
2.0 out of 5 stars Subpar Horror Story,

This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
Tom Piccirilli is one horror author that makes me scratch my head in confusion. This author has won at least one Bram Stoker Award, the plum prize of those authors who write horror, for one of his novels. "The Deceased" is the third Piccirilli novel I have read, with the other two being "The Night Class" and the entertaining western "Grave Men." Of these three books, "The Deceased" ranks as the worst. Come to think of it, I wasn't that impressed by "The Night Class," either. The western novel was quite amusing, but if this author's other horror novels resemble "The Deceased" in any way, shape, or form, we are all in a lot of trouble. "The Deceased" is an unmitigated mess of a story, with a murky plot that becomes nearly impenetrable by the time the reader reaches the conclusion.
"The Deceased" is a tale about a horror writer named Jacob Maelstrom. Jacob's father Isaac was an enormously influential and famous horror author, well remembered and still beloved by legions of fans despite the fact that he died horribly some years ago. Several people wrote books about the strange incident that claimed the lives of not only Jacob's father but the rest of his family as well. Jacob survived, somehow, and still carries the memories of the day his sister took an axe and killed the family. Now, Jacob feels a call to return to the scene of the crime, to the Maelstrom mansion where it all began. In the course of Jacob's immersion into the memories of the house, he encounters the ghosts of his insane sister Rachel and his sadistic, wheelchair bound brother Joseph, along with images of his mother and father. Out in the forests and ponds surrounding the property, Jacob recalls the "muses," some type of supernatural creatures roaming around the grounds. If the dangers of the Maelstrom house threatened only Jacob, perhaps everything would turn out for the best, but two unexpected visitors in the form of a depressed graduate student and the girlfriend of Isaac Maelstrom's agent turn up at the house. This appearance by two outsiders means that other people will face the terror of Jacob's trip down memory lane.
I simply do not understand the appeal Piccirilli's books have for many horror fans. That's not to say that I think every aspect of this book fails: once again, Piccirilli does create several engrossing scenes, especially the opening experience with the fan and the flashback to a day Jacob, Rachel, and Joseph spent at a pond on the mansion's grounds. These scenes work, and work well, because Piccirilli definitely possesses a gift for the English language. Yes, this guy can write better than most authors you will come across in this genre. Regrettably, the stylistic acumen of the author fails to make up for the poorly constructed organizational structure and uninspiring characters found throughout "The Deceased." This story simply fails to satisfy on nearly every level, and its hallucinatory sequences, piled one on top of another, bored me. I don't mind reading books or watching films that like to mess with the readers head a bit, but anything that attempts to do so needs to contain something concrete for the reader to use as a touchstone. I don't think this story provides such a touchstone. Instead, the story zooms off the tracks every few pages.
I am not ready to give up on Piccirilli just yet. I know he can write stories with coherent structures (like "Grave Men"), and I am hoping some of his other horror novels contain just such an organized plot. I am beginning to think they don't, though, if many of the reviews I have recently read are true. In a way, Tom Piccirilli's horror novels remind me of Douglas Clegg, another writer who uses surrealism in his books. The only difference between the two is that Clegg makes the hallucinatory scenes secondary to his plot. With Clegg, you might scratch your head a few times, but at least you know where you are going. Piccirilli, as far as I can see, throws out everything EXCEPT confusing weirdness. "Hexes" or "A Lower Deep" will be up next for me, but not anytime soon. I need to take a break from this author's horror novels for a spell.
4.0 out of 5 stars Much better than it looks or sounds.,
bonsai chicken (United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
Everything about this novel is misleading. From the nondescript cover art and the generic title, to a back cover summary that makes it sound like a hundred other tired tales of terror. It even begins in a fairly standard way.
Jacob Maelstrom is a writer of horror novels, himself the son of a more famous writer. He finds himself drawn once again to his childhood home -- the place where, over a decade ago, his sister killed the rest of his family and herself, leaving only him alive.
It's been done before, right? It may seem so, but what follows takes the story in entirely different directions. Family secrets are revealed, other players are introduced, and the book becomes an exploration into the very nature of creativity. Where does it come from? Where does it go? When does the fictional become real? The answers lie within the old Maelstrom house, if you care to spend the night with Jacob and his uninvited guests.
Piccirilli's excellent prose goes a long way in carrying the story. I'm always happy to see someone who really knows how to use the language, rather than one who is merely adequate. THE DECEASED is a fine novel of chilling horror, suspense, and eroticism.
1.0 out of 5 stars A HUGE disappointment...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
I was so excited to read this book because I'd heard what a wonderful author Tom Piccirilli is. I tried to like it, really tried, and I must say I appreciate his obvious skill as a wordsmith. His prose is absolutely beautiful, and as a poet, I'm sure he's marvelous. But as a writer of commercial fiction, he leaves much to be desired. I'm normally very supportive of fiction authors and I hate to criticize any author's work, but there are so many fabulous writers out there who know how to write well-plotted fiction and they're having a tough time getting published. Yet this book made it into print, which doesn't surprise me, just disappoints me. It's not a work of commercial genre fiction, but only a literary novel of an experimental, surreal nature that I'm sure some serious literary buffs would enjoy. But those who like supernatural fiction with a story behind it are mislead if they're looking for a story inside this book. I wished I'd read the other reviews here before I foolishly made this purchase.
2.0 out of 5 stars A bit overrated,
Shanna Flaschka (Oxford, MS USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
I must be missing something as to why this book is so well-received; I found it a bit dull. The big "secret" was a bit too obvious and too long is spent on passages that read like lucid dreams.
I am hardly a "lazy reader" as one reviewer states is the only person who would not like this book; I'm a graduate student specializing in Gothic literature.
Part of the problem is the characters are stereotypes: the moody writer with a past, the slutty secretary having an affair with her boss, the secretary's unstable friend who serves as the information gatherer (she's a graduate student wanting to interview the main character under the auspices of writing her thesis). It's all just a bit too pat.
In many horror novels, that would be fine--even preferable--but the plot depends entirely on how much the reader empathizes with the main character. Piccirilli just strings us along: is he crazy? was he the real killer? The whole book is spent just on this, without a whole lot of plot or character development.
Likewise, some of the book was pretty derivative. The incestuous behavior of the older brother and sister was like a nastier version of Flowers in the Attic.
5.0 out of 5 stars Not for the lazy-minded,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
This is an evocative, creamy novel of madness and bizarre realms, ghosts, psychic gamesplaying and the restructuring of reality. It's definitely not for the lazy-minded, or even somebody just looking for a quick sit-down Sunday morning read. Piccirilli's narrative style is full-throttle weirdness that scoops the reader into a story that breaks rules at every turn. Jacob Maelstrom's sister goes insane one night in their secluded home and murders everyone in the house except him, including herself. Ten years later, he experiences visions and hauntings that force him to return to that place, where he must face the ghosts of his family and discover what actually happened and what really drove his sister mad. I loved the literary fireworks and bombastics here, never knowing exactly what would happen next. Though the plotline isn't linear and does loop back upon itself, I enjoyed the fact that Piccirilli was willing to take risks with form and style in order to give the reader something new. Try it if you want something that breaks the old mold.
2.0 out of 5 stars Nice try, but failed to deliver,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
This novel is definitely not fluff-writing, I'll agree with all the 5-star reviews on that point, but I still cannot agree with the glowing reviews that it is an amazing work of horror/fantasy. First, I find Piccirilli's writing to be unnecessarily ornamented. His extreme use of similes and metaphors in the first few chapters is almost nauseating. Second, I know he is trying to create an atmosphere of distorted reality and surrealism but I found his writing to be confusing and disconnected. He wraps too many past, present, dream, reality sequences together and in a somewhat illogical order. I'm an avid reader in this genre and others, however, I still am unsure as to what exactly happened in the Maelstrom house either at the massacre or a decade later when Jacob goes back to the house. In the end, I feel he leads the reader into a surreal landscape but offers very few clues as to what is exactly happening. The novel has merit in that it seeks to raise the horror/fantasy genre to a different level than many books that are written. On the other hand, I was very happy when Piccirilli's dream-trip finally came to an end.
1.0 out of 5 stars Contrived writing and dialogue,
By A Customer
This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
I must have been reading a different book than the other reviewers. I found the writing somewhat contrived and pulpish, and the dialogue makes me wonder if the author is not a hermit or monk.
Listen to this, the first paragraph of chapter five: "With the same affirmation lost lovers feel for one another's flesh, his feet fell in contact with the subtle shifting of the dirt."
Ask yourself, and be honest, when was the last time you were walking in dirt and thought, "Boy, walking in this dirt sure reminds me of the affirmation lost lovers feel for one another's flesh."? How about never (at least I haven't).
Chapter three opens with the main character's book agent throwing a hissy fit in his office becuase the main character wants to return to the "house". I am almost tempted to recommend this book just so you can read this chapter and laugh out loud at how totally unbelievable the actions of the book agent are.
In case you haven't guess, I have no idea how this books turns out, as it became difficult to finish once it burned up in my fireplace. It should have turned out with the author receiving a rejection letter in the mail, at least it would have saved me $6.50.
Other than that, I liked it. ;-)
5.0 out of 5 stars A Good Mix of Horror/Fantasy,
Deborah Woehr (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
An avid reader of ghost stories, I plucked this book off the shelf as soon as I laid eyes on it. The Deceased is a combination of horror and fantasy, intertwined with mystery. Jacob Maelstrom is a popular slash and gore writer who is haunted by the gruesome murder/suice of his entire family. The story begins at a local neighborhood park, where Jacob sits and compares his work with that of his late father, Isaac. On the tenth anniversary of the slaying, Jacob sets out for the family's island home to work out the tragedy. What he finds instead are the strange creatures, whom he calls the muses, and Elizabeth, a sick little girl who calls to him from his bedroom closet. Then there is the family--brother Joseph, who hates him for no apparent reason; Rachel, who killed her family but spared Jacob; and Mom, a weak wallflower who seems resigned to her fate. In the meantime, Lisa (his agent/mentor's secretary/lover) and her fragile best friend, Katie, follow Jacob out to the house. Lisa hopes this trip will save Katie, an avid fan of Jacob's, from committing suicide over the loss of her lover and unborn child. Unbeknownst to them, the chaos has already begun inside the Maelstrom house. The women soon find out that something is heinously wrong with the house and Jacob. Both try to fight their way out as Jacob learns some new truths about his relationship with his father shortly before the climax. The Deceased is a highly original and should not be missed by horror fans.
5.0 out of 5 stars A mammoth of a horror tale!!,
Paul Legerski (Corona, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deceased The (Mass Market Paperback)
When I started reading the opening chapter of THE DECEASED, I couldn't tell which, if any, of the characters I was introduced to were alive or dead...or in some other state. The second chapter explains a few things about who is and isn't alive. After that, the novel goes down a vortex of violence, insanity, intensity and just plain vileness. This opus is about journeys, redemption and confronting the never-dead past. It is literate at the same time it is violent; clear as the mud some of the characters wallow in. This is not a linear point A to Point B novel. Hell no! Piccirilli serves up some great characters, tosses them a ton of plot and masterfully lets the characters deal with it all to end in a satisfying conclusion. The story is about Jacob Maelstrom, an author following in his famous father's footsteps. Both write horror books. Jacob is a survivor of a massacre at his parents' house in Stonethrow, an island unto itself. Jacob's father Isaac brought his whole family (wife, wheelchair bound brother Joseph, sister Rachel and Jacob) there to escape the fandom his writing has wrought. An attempted kidnapping of Rachel was the last straw for Isaac. Upon moving in, isolation lends a hand in turning this family onto madness. Jacob's mom is non confrontational, brother and sister are way too close to be healthy, and Jacob is a loner trying to fit in. He's the Third, as his siblings call him, the youngest of three children. Also in the plot is the agent of both writers, Bob Wakely, his assistant (and concubine) Lisa. Katie is Lisa's sister, a huge Maelstrom devotee and, oh yeah, just out from the mental hospital ('The Ding-a-ling wing', as Picirrilli puts it). Katie is in the hospital for a horrific event in her past that she can't come to terms with. The house on Stonethrow is a place with a checkered history to say the least. 10 years ago the Maelstroms were victims of Rachel's ax attack...decapitating all except Jacob, who survived in a closet. Rachel's final act was her suicide by the same blade. Jacob has been renting out the house these past years to other writers of horror who live in the house for inspiration. Nobody's ever really heard the whole story, so on the anniversary, Jacob goes back to face his past. Katie is taken to the house by Lisa. Katie and Jacob share traumatic pasts and, therefore, a strong bond. How strong is the test. Seems Jacob's family is coming back for the last surviving member of their clan. Piccirilli's knack for making all of this believable is genius. On one page he talks about Lisa's pregnancy, the next part deals with Jacob seeing someone familiar in a closet. The author switches back and forth between reality and insanity. Add in a touch of Alice In Wonderland-like fantasy and you have wood nymphs, aquatic angels, imaginary (or real) friends and enemies. I mean when is a turtle just a turtle? Overall the narrative shook me up emotionally and physically, dealing with real issues in a literate and intelligent way, not condescendingly or shallowly. Tom Piccirilli, with THE DECEASED, has added to his legacy as the genre's most intense, vivid and satisfying writers in the horror/dark mystery genre. Highest of recommendations.

'CSI' Star Gary Dourdan Arrested on Suspicion of DUI and Drug Possession
E! Online is reporting that Dourdan was arrested at 3:50 AM Monday after allegedly plowing into multiple parked cars while behind the wheel.
The 44-year-old actor was said to be walking away from the crime scene when police officers came by after a person reported the car crash.
TMZ is reporting that during the investigation, the police found "a few pills" of ecstasy and arrested Dourdan on a drug possession charge.
Dourdan was taken to a nearby station where he was booked and later released after he posted the $10,000 bail. The actor is due back in court on July 7.
This is not the first time the actor has been arrested for drug possession.
In 2008, police found Dourdan asleep behind the wheel of his car and upon investigation arrested him for possession of heroin, cocaine and ecstasy.
Dourdan avoided going to jail by pleading guilty to cocaine and ecstasy possession and entering a drug-diversion program.

I certainly did enjoy him on CSI, upset when he left. But to set this record straight, he quit CSI, they did not force him off that show.He said he wanted to do other things, well I haven't seen him on anything since. He won't have to worry about working anymore if he continues down this path, too bad because he is talented and handsome. what a waste!

why do people love to see others fail or have everyday problems, just like their children, spouses, and other family members? so the man has a problem with substance abuse, there's gotta be a reason why. for one thing success is difficult to deal with. any fool can fail, but along with success there's a certain amount of responsibilities..thatmost people find hard to deal with, how about Robert Downy Jr. Charlie Sheen, And all the others that came along before Gary. give him the same sympathy and understang you gave the others. I still love and respect you for your talent Gary, just kick the HATERS to the curb.

On the House
Why Americans are at home in a bar.
Dec 5, 2011, Vol. 17, No. 12 • By MARTIN MORSE WOOSTER
Prohibitionists were so eager to close taverns that they ignored a basic question: Where would all the clubs and groups meet if bars were outlawed? Some expressed vague hopes that movie theaters would serve as a suitable replacement. G. K. Chesterton dismissed this notion after he visited the United States in 1922: "The cinema boasts of being a substitute for the tavern, but I think it a very bad substitute," he wrote. "Nobody enjoys cinemas more than I, but to enjoy them a man has only to look and not even to listen, and in a tavern he has to talk. Occasionally, I admit, he has to fight; but he need never move at the movies."
The post-Prohibition chapters are less interesting. A chapter on gay bars of the 1960s most notably reveals that Greenwich Village's Stonewall Inn, famous for the 1969 raid that catalyzed the nascent gay rights movement, was not a place where most people would want to drink. The primary "investor" in the tavern was the Genovese crime family, and its owners purportedly paid over $1,200 a month in bribes to cops and inspectors to stay open (a practice Sismondo calls "gayola"). The tavern charged customers a $3 cover, for which he got
Sismondo concludes with a chapter about why parents should have an unquestioned right to bring their children to bars. This surely should be an individual matter, left to the bar owner's discretion. She would have done better if she had focused on the practice of mandatory identification checks at bars. By forcing scores of grey-headed boozers who came of age in an earlier century to prove that they're over 21, this ridiculous form of security theater does little or nothing to catch underage drinkers but a great deal to undermine the rule of law.

Kenya's cleantech program too optimistic - but still worth watching
By: SGN Staff
By Steve Minnihan
Developing nations are increasingly viewed as hubs for innovation and hotbeds for promising start-up activity. The World Bank is attempting to accelerate this by opening the Kenya Climate Innovation Center (CIC), a fund intended to invest $15 million over a five-year period to finance and foster 70 ventures developing climate-focused technologies for the Kenyan market.
The ventures will focus on technologies for off-grid power and energy supply, water treatment and supply, micro-hydro generation, flood and drought adaptation, agriculture and biofuels. According to the CIC business plan, $9 million will go to finance the ventures, while another $2 million will go to programs intended to foster the success and growth of the ventures.
The CIC has aggressive goals for its portfolio of ventures, seeking a 50% survival rate for all companies that achieve the proof-of-concept (POC) phase and a 75% survivability rate for companies that reach seed-funding stage within three years - a tall order for a fund that only has $129,000 to allocate to each venture. To add to these seemingly impossible goals, the CIC expects that after 10 years, 92% of the fund's investment costs will be covered by revenue from the loan principle and interest from the ventures in the fund.
These metrics seem impossible to achieve, given that the global cleantech venture landscape sees well-financed companies fail on a weekly basis. Furthermore, cleantech ventures routinely require between $100 million and $750 million in financing before they attain a level of sustainability, or eventually fail (look to A123 Systems, Solyndra and Amyris for examples).
