Patients read, make phone calls, or simply relax as the laser targets trouble zones on the hips, the thighs, the waist, or the arms. The treatment does not require any downtime, though best results are achieved when all six sessions are completed within two weeks.7385 Far Hills AvenueDayton, OH US

Murren to Gruyere to Montreux
I have 3 days to plan after Murren before heading onto France. Is it possible to take the Golden Pass train after leaving Murren to Gruyere......spend some time there visiting the village and cheese demonstration and then head onto Montreux for 3 nights/2 days? I thought about doing the Chocolate train but this feels like backtracking so if it it's reasonable to visit Gruyere on way I would do that. While in Montreux we plan to visit chateau de Chillon and the vineyards. Is it better to stay in Montreux or should we consider Vevey or Lausanne?

"I took 40 pictures yesterday and I'm not happy with any of them."
That's my friend Jeanann, talking about taking a holiday photo of her kids. Why doesn't she just photo shop their heads onto little cartoon figures like other people do?
Jeanann is one of the few that is taking actual pictures of her children. I love those types of Christmas cards. I love seeing the pictures of the kids from year to year, especially the ones from far away. But now, in the digital age, I need to wonder ... do those kids REALLY look like that? Did they retouch the boy's broken nose to make it smoother?
The days of the quirky, candid shot are severely numbered. Digital photography has made it possible to celebrate our children not as they are, but as we wish they could be. Now we can all look like we're in a Ralph Lauren ad.
Retouching among school photos is up sharply, as parents now have the option to get the pimples removed or the scab on the forehead retouched. You can even photo shop in a tooth if your first grader has one of those Jack O'Lantern smiles.
When my oldest son was little, I used to dress him up for picture day. A vest, a clip-on tie: he looked adorable. Then one picture day I forgot, and he went to school in his regular tee shirt. I remembered in a panic, grabbed the shirt and tie, shoved my younger son into the stroller, and raced over the school. I was sweating when I got there, and all the kids were out enjoying recess. My older son ran over to me. "We already took the pictures, Mom." He ran off, disheveled, and with food on his shirt. Despite this, his picture that year looked good. I decided to give up on perfection and go for realism.
Now I like my kids to look exactly as they always do on picture day. However, the photographers feel differently. For instance, ever since my older son got braces, all his pictures have closed mouth smiles. I'm sure the photographer is directing him to do that, but I paid good money for those braces! As a matter of fact, I'm still paying good money for those braces! Why shouldn't he proudly show his metal mouth? Believe me, he looks a lot better with his braces on than he did with his chipmunk teeth.
A couple of years ago, at my niece's communion, my sister-in-law hired a professional photographer. We all posed for various pictures good-naturedly, except my older son, who at the time was 12 years old but practicing to be a sulky teen. He was in foul mood about the picture taking and grimaced and eye-rolled his way through the whole affair. That Christmas, my sister-in-law, to her eternal credit, gave us a lovely 5x7 of all of us, dressed up and smiling, except for my son, who is hunched over and wearing a sour, disdainful face. It is hilarious. It is a perfect representation of the day and the way the personalities were at that moment. It made the memory perfect in its imperfection.
Scabs and missing teeth and braces are some of the reasons I had kids. I wanted to walk that road. Last night we went to a holiday party and my older son was playing cards with friends, laughing out loud with food in his braces, wearing the same tee shirt he had worn all day, red magic marker all over his hands from some earlier school project. I wish I'd had my camera.

Rams and Rust
Ever since I purchased my truck about 2 months ago, I tend to notice other people's Rams while driving around town. One thing I've noticed is some of the newer rams that don't have fender flares (like mine) already have rust around the fenders and wheel wells.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to avoid this from happening? I'd purchase a set of fender flares but it's beyond my budget at the moment. My first thought was to give the truck a good wax before winter. But, wanted to check with you all first.
Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions on this topic. Thanks!
definitly keep the truck waxed real good and where you live id wash it as often as i could in the winter to remove any road salts. spray the wheel wells out real good and do the undercarridge too if possible .
It is many times really tough to sit outside and wash a truck when its 20 degrees outside, but we've all done it, or at least those of us who live where it gets cold.. Anyway, here are a few shortcuts I've used:
The first thing I did and this is optional, but works really well is install a hot water spigot outside of the house. This is super easy these days with all the sharkbite and PEX fittings. Having this outside of the house really has so many other uses as well, and helps get the salt off with just a rinse.
The other product I use is called Salt away. Anyone who lives at the coasts and have a boat knows what this stuff is, if not just search it. It is safe on paint and works really well with the warm water to just rinse the body and undercarriage. You won't be outside in the freezing weather for long and it will get rid of the salt really well. Any Marin place will sell the fluid and mixer hose attachment kit...:shrk:
I don't have that issue with mine. Rust in the wheel well that is. I know just about all of the '11s have the plastic wheel well covers on them. Well the ones that I've seen over here anyway. The only rust issue I have is rust on the posts off the motor that connects to the wiper arms. The left one is covered in rust while the right one is still looking new.
I see you are located in MN. I left the west coast for the first time in my life and traveled to northern MN for a canoe trip. I cannot explain to you how shocked I was to see the condition of vehicles( and roads for that matter) in your state. We were often heard yelling look at that one as some truck would drive by with body panels ready to fall off. We dont salt our roads so I am sure that is the difference. I have also noticed that the paint jobs on our trucks is of very low quality.
You can also look into getting some 3m Mylar film to apply in the areas subject to the most abuse.
Despite the salt they use on the roads here, the vehicles can be built to not rust as much.
I drive a 99 F350 at work.
It has a couple of areas where the paint has come off. The galvanized metal still has no rust on it.
Fords were so notorious for rusting many years ago, they had to do something about it.
Although I love my Ram, I have noticed that they seem prone to rust in my part of the world.
Only rust I have noticed on my Ram is the muffler. There is so much surface rust on the muffler that it looks as if it were 10 years old.
Thanks for all the info everyone. I once had a mechanic (here in MN) tell me that trucks from the SE corner of the states are prone to more rust than trucks from the Midwest and Canada. Mostly due to the salt/rain coming from the ocean. I'm not sure I believe that. Like Oregon said above, there are some rough looking vehicles around here. I have family in Manitoba and every time I travel up there it seems like everyone has really nice looking trucks. Maybe the Canadians have a better grip on the salt/chemicals they use on their roads.
I'm just going to wax my truck more than usual, and hope for the best.
Just traded in a 2003 1500 for a "11 and it hardly had any rust at all, a little inside the gas door and some seams on the bed side of the tailgate, probably rusting from the inside. It wasn't rust proofed or anything. No rust underneath either. Just kept it waxed and during the winter ran it through a good car wash nearby that has a good under body spray. A friend of mine got a 2500 around the same time and has alot more rust than mine, brake disks rusted from inside, only difference in care was the car wash I use. there ia an electrical box that runs a constant current through the metal that I think I will use on this truck.

Huey Lewis in the '80s? Not cool. In 2013? Cool. Huey Lewis and the News will perform at Hoosier Park in Anderson on June 8.
- Filed Under
Huey Lewis was never cool. He was famous; he was successful; he was handsome. But cool? In his '80s heyday, when Huey Lewis and the News were riding high as their third album, "Sports," sold millions and spawned five hit singles (out of only nine songs on the record), they were cool in the way that, say, Hall & Oates or Bob Seger were cool. Your mom thought he was charming. He was an everyman with aw-shucks humor; too straightforward to be artsy, too mainstream to be hip.
"Sports," released 30 years ago, was among the biggest albums of the decade. "Fore!" released three years later and sold about half ...

Unpopular Essays
By Bertrand Russell
Routledge – 2009 – 184 pages
Series: Routledge Classics
A classic collection of Bertrand Russell's more controversial works, reaffirming his staunch liberal values, Unpopular Essays is one of Russell's most characteristic and self-revealing books. Written to "combat… the growth in Dogmatism", on first publication in 1950 it met with critical acclaim and a wide readership and has since become one of his most accessible and popular books.
'An intellectual treat…the delight of this book lies in that combination of wit with perception, and of width of view with ease of expression for which Russell made himself known.' - Financial Times
'Russell is as incapable of being dull as he is of being shallow' – The Observer
'His writings reflect his crystalline, scintillating mind and rank him among the few masters of English style' – Sunday Times
Introduction Preface 1. Philosophy and Politics 2. Philosophy for Laymen 3. The Future of Mankind 4. Philosophy's Ulterior Motives 5. The Superior Virtue of the Oppressed 6. On Being Modern-minded 7. An Outline of Intellectual Rubbish 8. The Functions of a Teacher 9. Ideas that have Helped Mankind 10. Ideas that have Harmed Mankind 11. Eminent Men I Have Known 12. Obituary
Bertrand Russell (1872–1970) was one of the most formidable thinkers of the modern era. A philosopher, mathematician, educational innovator, champion of intellectual, social and sexual freedom, and a campaigner for peace and human rights, he was also a prolific writer of popular and influential books, essays and lectures on an extensive range of subjects.
Considered to be one of the most controversial figures of the twentieth century, Bertrand Russell is widely renowned for his provocative writings. These definitive works offer profound insights and forward-thinking perspectives on a changing western society progressively shaped, most significantly, by two world wars, the decline of British imperialism and an evolving moral landscape.

Twenty thousand CSU retirees will benefit
SACRAMENTO, Calif., Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The governor on Monday signed SB 235 allowing California State University (CSU) retirees to participate in a self-funded comprehensive vision care program.
"We are very grateful that the Legislature and governor have recognized the need to provide this important program to all state retirees," said Barbara LaPlante, President of CSEA Retirees, Inc. "When people have good vision care, they have a greater chance of retaining their independence and serious conditions may be diagnosed sooner."
CSEA Retirees, Inc. is the sponsor of SB 235 by Sen. Gloria Negrete McLeod, D-Monterey, establishing the CSU vision program. Retirees were also behind last year's AB 2242 by Assemblymember Alberto Torrico, D-Newark, which allowed most state retirees into a program similar to the Vision Services Plan (VSP) that active employees enjoy. The participating retirees pay the insurance premium of about $8.78 for a single; $17.12 for two people; and $18.43 for a family in exchange for the comprehensive plan with group rates.
But CSU retirees were not included in AB 2242. The inequity is now resolved under SB 235. An estimated 20,000 California State University retirees will be eligible to participate. The Office of the Chancellor of CSU will administer the program for the CSU participants. The cost and startup date for the CSU program have not yet been determined.
The VSP plan for other state retirees is administered by the Department of Personnel Administration (DPA). The DPA program was operational within several months of the signing.
The two vision care programs culminate an 18-year legislative struggle for CSEA Retirees, Inc. After many steps forward and back, Gov. Davis actually signed similar vision care legislation several years ago. But money was not included in the state budget to administer the program.

Episode - 2F10\\
First Aired - 1/22/1995
During one of Marge's self-imposed, weekly family hours, the Simpsons are looking through the photo album. the kids notice that there are no photos of Maggie, and Lisa wonders why, leading to yet another flashback episode of how a Simpson child was born; this time, focusing on Homer quitting his job at the nuclear plant, getting hired at the bowling alley, and forced to go back to work at the nuclear plant after Marge discovers that she's pregnant again after a romantic evening celebrating their new debt-free life.
!!This episode contain examples of:
* BaitAndSwitch: At least three examples:
** After Homer quits his job and starts looking forward to his "dream job in paradise", we cut to Homer in what appears to be a tropical setting, complete with steel drum music. Then, he declares, "And now, the final phase of my plan," and it is revealed that he's actually at the bowling alley.
** When Patty and Selma make calls about Marge being pregnant, there is a time cut between their first and last calls, implying they've called many people. They then reveal that they've only called two people (those being the biggest gossips in town).
** When Homer decides to get a raise at the bowling alley:
-->'''Homer:''' That's it, I'm going to march right up to Al and say --\\
''(Cut to Homer at the alley)''\\
'''Homer:''' Steve! I mean, Al!
* CaptainOblivious: Homer towards Marge's pregnancy. First, while Homer us returning home from the bowling alley, Chief Wiggum drives by and compliments him for his "nice work", which is vague enough for Homer to think he is talking about his new job. Then Apu congratulates Homer for the "little bundle of joy", which Homer surmises to be his salary. Next, Moe tells Homer in no uncertain terms that he got Marge pregnant, but Homer believes this is an abstract way of talking about his enjoyment of his job. When he reaches his home, he notices the neighbors have gathered there with presents. He infers that they're ''showering'' Marge with "little, tiny, baby-sized gifts", yet he still blows it all off. It isn't until Maude Flanders congratulates Homer on his new job when he ''finally'' realises that Marge is pregnant with a third child.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Homer when the townspeople congratulate him for the new baby, which gets increasingly obvious.
-->'''Moe:''' Hey, Homer! Way to get Marge pregnant. ''(laughs)''\\
'''Homer:''' This is getting very abstract, but thank you. I ''do'' enjoy working at the bowling alley.
* CrossingTheBurntBridge: In addition to insulting and humiliating Mr. Burns, Homer literally burns a bridge when he quits his job at the plant.
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: When Marge looks through the family photo album:
-->'''Marge:''' Here's Bart sleeping. Here he is dozing. Here he is after a visit from the sandman. Ooh, here's nappy time, Bart! Here's a cute one -- he's all tuckered out.

VIDEO/PHOTOS: 57-year-old man killed in car accident on Bayshore Drive
NAPLES - An East Naples man died in an accident at Bayshore and Shoreview drives Wednesday morning when the pickup truck he was driving crashed into a power pole, temporarily cutting off electricity to hundreds of nearby residents.
Collier County Sheriff's Office officials identified the victim as Michael Rice, 57, of 2917 Woodside Avenue. He lived just up the street from where the crash took place.
An hour after the accident, several Florida Power and Light officials and Sheriff's Office deputies were still on the scene, as was a tow truck from North Naples-based Bumper to Bumper Towing.
Also still at the scene was the tan/brown pickup truck owned by Gulfshore Pool Service that hit the pole, as well as many Bayshore area residents who went to check what was the cause of their power outage.
Driving up to Bayshore Drive on his bike this morning, Joe Reynolds, 54, said he took a look at the scene and was shocked.
Reynolds, who has lived in the Bayshore area for 13 years, said he'd been watching television and had headed out to pick up some mangoes outside.
When he came back into the house, the TV was off, as was the power.
Some residents said they had been upset that the power was off, but their anger soon turned to horror when they arrived at the crash scene and saw that a man had lost his life.
"It's really sad," said Reynolds,
Reynolds' neighbor, Barry Gallup, said word of the crash spread through the neighborhood pretty quickly.
Gallup, a 20-year Bayshore resident, said that he had talked with some of his friends who witnessed the accident and it seemed that the driver might have had a seizure or heart attack because it appeared that he made no attempts to hit the brakes as he headed for the pole.
Florida Power and Light spokeswoman Sarah Marmion said the utility company got word of the crash at 8:14 a.m.
"It knocked power off to 3,644 customers," said Marmion.
Marmion said that roughly 700 customers were still without power around 10:15 a.m. and that the company hoped to have them up and running later in the day.
An FPL spokesman said Wednesday evening that power had been restored to all of the affected customers.
Marmion added that the company would try to replace the damaged pole Wednesday, but that crews worked first on removing the damaged one from the truck in order to let authorities remove Rice's body from the vehicle.

› Find signed collectible books: 'All Tomorrow's Parties'
William Gibson's seventh glossy, neon-lit novel is a stylishly complex sequel to his previous two, Virtual Light and Idoru. From Virtual Light there's the potent image of San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge transformed into a vertically stacked shanty-town with its own bohemian autonomy, outside the law. Idoru provides the magical Japanese media idol ("idoru") Rei Toei, a gorgeous lady existing only in software--as yet. Gibson links these worlds with his usual glowing, plausible vision of deadly streetwise realities intersecting with on-line data flow. One man attuned to the net can sense from his cardboard-box home in Tokyo that major changes loom. A Zen assassin stalks San Francisco and the unlucky ex-cop hero from Virtual Light must assemble some very strange equipment. Further objects of desire include lovingly described knives, guns and even antique mechanical watches, as collected by Gibson himself (who pursues them through online auctions)--the ability to trace watches across the net is crucial to tracking the arch-villain. All the world's clocks are ticking in a countdown to transformation and to chrome-polished scenes of extreme violence as zero-hour nears. Multiple story lines meet and dovetail with deft, witty understatement and, in one case, a charming joke. Vintage Gibson, with enough artful backfill that you needn't read the prequels--but they're great fun too. --David Langford

› Find signed collectible books: 'Burning Chrome'
When "Burning Chrome," the title story in William Gibson's first short story collection, appeared, it grabbed readers by the collar and shook them up a bit. Science fiction in the late '70s had grown a little bit stale and, worse, safe. "Burning Chrome" offered a fresh look at a future that was gritty, real, and more than a little dangerous. These stories brought high tech out of antiseptic university laboratories and corporate boardrooms and put it in the streets and alleyways where people found their own uses for it. Sometimes those uses were even legal.
The philosophy of cyberpunk, the movement that Gibson's early books kicked off, is most explicitly stated in "The Gernsbach Continuum," with its rejection of the '30s ideal of a future of flying cars and shining cities. But the real meat of this collection is found in those stories where Gibson involves us with the people who inhabit his world. The technical boy of "Johnny Mnemonic" and the thief-turned-game-player of "Dogfight" (cowritten with Michael Swanwick) would be right at home on the same streets. Most intense and more enigmatic is the recording engineer of "The Winter Market," who is overwhelmingly attracted to and repulsed by the greatest artist he ever worked with. Still, "Burning Chrome," with its tale of vengeance and high-stakes theft, remains the centerpiece of this collection. Read it and you will know why William Gibson became and remains one of the top writers in science fiction. --Greg L. Johnson

› Find signed collectible books: 'Count Zero'
In the Matrix of cyberspace, angels and voodoo zaibatsus fight it out for world domination and computer cowboys like Turner and Count Zero risk their minds for fat crumbs. Turner woke up in a new body with a beautiful woman beside him. They let him recuperate for a while in Mexico, then Hosaka reactivated his memory for a mission more dangerous than the one that nearly killed him. The head designer from Maas-Biolabs is defecting to Hosaka, or so he says. Turner has to deliver him safely, and the biochips he invented - which are of supreme interest to other parties, some of whom are not human. Count Zero is human. Indeed, he's just a kid from Barrytown, and totally unprepared for the heavy duty data coming his way when he's caught up in the cyberspace war triggered by the defection. With voodoo on the Net and angels in the software, he can only hope that the megacorps and the superrich have their virtual hands full already.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Enlightenment Prelate: Benjamin Hoadly, 1676-1761'
Benjamin Hoadly (1676-1761), Bishop successively of Bangor, Hereford, Salisbury and Winchester, was the most controversial English churchman of the eighteenth century. He has unjustly gained the reputation of a negligent and political bishop, and with this publication, Gibson attempts to reappraise the legacy of this influential man. It was Hoadly's sermon on the nature of Christ's kingdom that sparked the Bangorian controversy which raged from 1717-1720. His sermons, books and tracts poured from the press in huge quantities and were widely read by Anglicans and Dissenters alike, yet his commitment to the ideology of the Revolution of 1688 and to the comprehension of Dissenters into the Church of England earned him the antagonism of many contemporary and later churchmen. This book is the first full-length study of Hoadly to be published, and is a powerfully revisionist study. Hoadly emerges as a dedicated and conscientious bishop with strong and progressive principles. He asserted the right of individuals to judge the Bible for themselves without the shackles of ecclesiastical authority and sought to establish a liberal enclave in the Church to re-attract Dissenters. He also restored a strongly Protestant commemorative view of the Eucharist to the Church. But it was not simply his ecclesiastical work which made him such an important figure. Hoadly's stout defence of rationalism made him a founder of the English Enlightenment. His views on the nature of political authority also drew heavily on John Locke, and Hoadly was responsible for bringing Locke's views to a wide audience. It was his commitment to civil liberties which made him a progenitor of the American Revolution whilst his writing on the nature of civil authority was acclaimed by John Adams as a source of American liberties and of the US Constitution. He also advanced sincerity of belief over the right of the State to impose penalties for the failure to conform. In these principles he presaged the future direction of both religion and society.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Idoru'
"Idoru" - a gripping techno-thriller by William Gibson, bestselling author of "Neuromancer". "Fast, witty and cleverly politicized". ("Guardian"). Tokyo, post-event: After an attack of scruples, Colin Laney's skipped out on his former employer Slitscan - avoiding the rash of media lawyers sent his way - and taken a job for the outfit managing Japanese rock duo, Lo/Rez. Rez has announced he's going to marry an 'idoru' by the name of Rei Toi - she exists only in virtual reality - and this creates complications that Laney, a net runner, is supposed to sort out. But when Chai, part of Lo/Rez's fan club, turns up unaware that she's carrying illegal nanoware for the Russian Kombinat, Laney's scruples nudge him towards trouble all over again. And this time lawyers'll be the least of his worries...William Gibson is a prophet and a satirist, a black comedian and an outstanding architect of cool. Readers of Neal Stephenson, Ray Bradbury and Iain M. Banks will love this book. "Idoru" is the second novel in the Bridge trilogy - read "Virtual Light" and "All Tomorrow's Parties" for more. "Sharp, fast, bright ...a must". ("Arena"). "A classic technothriller ...lean, evocative, tense". ("Wired"). "Luxuriate in prose simultaneously as hard and laconic as Elmore Leonard's and as glacially poetic as JG. Ballard's ...an exhilarating ride". ("New Statesman"). William Gibson's first novel "Neuromancer" has sold more than six million copies worldwide. In an earlier story he had invented the term 'cyberspace'; a concept he developed in the novel, creating an iconography for the Information Age long before the invention of the Internet. The book won three major literary prizes. He has since written nine further novels including "Count Zero"; "Mona Lisa Overdrive"; "The Difference Engine"; "Virtual Light"; "Idoru"; "All Tomorrow's Parties"; "Pattern Recognition"; "Spook Country" and most recently "Zero History". He is also the author of "Distrust That Particular Flavor", a collection of non-fiction writing.

The trial of the seven bishops in 1688 was a signifcant prelude to the Glorious Revolution, as popular support for the bishops led to a widespread welcome for William of Orange's invasion. Their prosecution showed James II at his most intolerant, and threatened the only institution for which most English people felt more loyalty than the monarchy. This book is a fresh interpretation of the events leading to the Glorious Revolution of 1688, showing the significance of James II's prosecution of seven bishops as the signal for the revolution itself.

The period 1689-1901 was "the golden age" of the sermon in Britain. It was the best selling printed work and dominated the print trade until the mid-nineteenth century. Sermons were highly influential in religious and spiritual matters, but they also played important roles in elections and politics, science and ideas and campaigns for reform. Sermons touched the lives of ordinary people and formed a dominant part of their lives. Preachers attracted huge crowds and the popular demand for sermons was never higher. Sermons were also taken by missionaries and clergy across the British empire, so that preaching was integral to the process of imperialism and shaped the emerging colonies and dominions. The form that sermons took varied widely, and this enabled preaching to be adopted and shaped by every denomination, so that in this period most religious groups could lay claim to a sermon style. The pulpit naturally lent itself to controversy, and consequently sermons lay at the heart of numerous religious arguments.
Drawing on the latest research by leading sermon scholars, this handbook accesses historical, theological, rhetorical, literary and linguistic studies to demonstrate the interdisciplinary strength of the field of sermon studies and to show the centrality of sermons to religious life in this period.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Pattern Recognition'
In Pattern Recognition, William Gibson changes focus from the not-too-distant future of his slick, influential SF novels to a netwise vision of strangeness just hours or minutes from the present.
Talented, vulnerable heroine Cayce Pollard is an adept "coolhunter" with an intuitive gift for telling whether any image or logo will be a commercial flop. The downside is her tortured sensitivity--like an allergic reaction--to logo overexposure. She can just about bear to fly BA, but not cross-promoted Virgin...
When she's consulted by top ad agency Blue Ant and gives the thumbs-down to their designer's latest concept, the edgy urban paranoia begins. A porn-site URL that she never accessed appears in her browser history, and the phone's redial button goes somewhere it shouldn't. The same faces appear around her as she flits between continents. Small world. Worryingly small.
As new vistas open in viral marketing and stealth publicity, the big admen are all too interested in Cayce's private hobby: mystery fragments of haunting movie footage, released anonymously on the Web. This unknown "garage Kubrick" auteur has spawned a fascinated, obsessive online cult. Is this a brilliant marketing operation for a still-unknown product, or something with different, dark and painful roots?
Cayce's personal quest, or flight, converges on the source of the Footage, helped and threatened by memorably offbeat characters. In Britain, these include a pettily sadistic woman who seems to know Cayce's most carefully concealed phobias, and an embittered collector of obsolete mechanical calculators made in Liechtenstein. Tokyo: a lovesick Japanese geek whose "otaku" friends find a hidden digital signature in the Footage. Moscow: a strange girl whose uncle is a fabulously wealthy--and dangerously protected--Russian mafioso...
Here's Cayce in a Japanese hotel, showing that wittily lyrical Gibson view of the world and his deft use of brand names:
She uses the remote as demonstrated, drapes drawing quietly aside to reveal a remarkably virtual-looking skyline, a floating jumble of electric Lego, studded with odd shapes you wouldn't see elsewhere, as if you'd need special Tokyo add-ons to build this at home.
This world of glittering surfaces and pulsating data connections is mined with surprises, betrayals, flurries of violence and unexpected allies. This is a very 21st century novel: compulsive reading, and vintage Gibson. --David Langford

› Find signed collectible books: 'Spook Country'
Now that the present has caught up with William Gibson's vision of the future, which made him the most influential science fiction writer of the past quarter century, he has started writing about a time--our time--in which everyday life feels like science fiction. With his previous novel, Pattern Recognition, the challenge of writing about the present-day world drove him to create perhaps his best novel yet, and in Spook Country he remains at the top of his game. It's a stripped-down thriller that reads like the best DeLillo (or the best Gibson), with the lives of a half-dozen evocative characters connected by a tightly converging plot and by the general senses of unease and wonder in our networked, post-9/11 time.
Across the Border to Spook Country
For the last few decades, William Gibson, who grew up in Virginia and elsewhere in the United States, has lived in Vancouver, British Columbia, just across the border from Amazon.com's Seattle headquarters, which made for a short drive for a lunchtime interview before the release of Spook Country. We met just a few miles from where the storylines of the new novel, in a rare scene set in Gibson's own city, converge. You can read the full transcript of the interview, in which we discussed, among other things, writing in the age of Google, visiting the Second Life virtual world, the possibilities of science fiction in an age of rapid change, and his original proposal for Spook Country, which we have available for viewing on our site. Here are a few excerpts from the interview:
Amazon.com: Could you start by telling us a little bit about the scenario of the new book?
William Gibson: It's a book in which shadowy and mysterious characters are using New York's smallest crime family, a sort of boutique operation of smugglers and so-called illegal facilitators, to get something into North America. And you have to hang around to the end of the book to find out what they're doing. So I guess it's a caper novel in that regard.
Amazon.com: The line on your last book, Pattern Recognition was that the present had caught up with William Gibson's future. So many of the things you imagined have come true that in a way it seems like we're all living in science fiction now. Is that the way you felt when you came to write that book, that the real world had caught up with your ideas?
Gibson: Well, I thought that writing about the world today as I perceive it would probably be more challenging, in the real sense of science fiction, than continuing just to make things up. And I found that to absolutely be the case. If I'm going to write fiction set in an imaginary future now, I'm going to need a yardstick that gives me some accurate sense of how weird things are now. 'Cause I'm going to have to go beyond that. And I think over the course of these last two books--I don't think I'm done yet--I've been getting a yardstick together. But I don't know if I'll be able to do it again. I don't know if I'll be able to make up an imaginary future in the same way. In the '80s and '90s--as strange as it may seem to say this--we had such luxury of stability. Things weren't changing quite so quickly in the '80s and '90s. And when things are changing too quickly, as one of the characters in Pattern Recognition says, you don't have any place to stand from which to imagine a very elaborate future.
Amazon.com: Now that you're writing about the present, do you consider yourself a science fiction writer these days? Because the marketplace still does.
Gibson: I never really believed in the separation. But science fiction is definitely where I'm from. Science fiction is my native literary culture. It's what I started reading, and I think the thing that actually makes me a bit different than some of the science fiction writers I've met who are my own age is that I discovered Edgar Rice Burroughs and William Burroughs in the same week. And I started reading Beat poets a year later, and got that in the mix. That really changed the direction. But it seems like such an old-fashioned way of looking at things. And it's better not to be pinned down. It's a matter of where you're allowed to park. If you can park in the science fiction bookstore, that's good. If you can park in the other bookstore, that's really good. If people come and buy it at Amazon, that's really good.
I'm sure I must have readers from 20 years ago who are just despairing of the absence of cyberstuff, or girls with bionic fingernails. But that just the way it is. All of that stuff reads so differently now. I think nothing dates more quickly than science fiction. Nothing dates more quickly than an imaginary future. It's acquiring a patina of quaintness even before you've got it in the envelope to send to the publisher.
Amazon.com: So do you think that's your own career path, that you're less interested in imagining a future, or do you think that the world is changing?
Gibson: I think it's actually both. Until fairly recently, I had assumed that it was me, me being drawn to use this toolkit I'd acquired when I was a teenager, and using my old SF toolkit in some kind of attempt at naturalism, 21st-century naturalistic fiction. But over the last five to six years it's started to seem to me that there's something else going on as well, that maybe we're in what the characters in my novel Idoru call a "nodal point," or a series of them. We're in a place where things could just go anywhere. A couple of weeks ago I happened to read Charlie Stross's argument as to why he believes that there will never, ever be any manned space travel. It's not going to happen. We're not going to colonize Mars. All of that is just a big fantasy. And it's so convincing. I read that and I'm like, "My god, there goes so much of the fiction I read as a child."

UC Browser Comes To Windows
From mobile to desktop.
It looks like the success of UC Browser on handheld devices has allowed developers to invest and create the desktop version of the very same browser as well.
Available for Windows, it comes in two flavors: Global and Indian and features many of the features that you would expect: Cloud Sync, Speed Dial, Themes and so on. And yes, it's another Chromium web browser.
On a downside, the install is pretty sneaky as the advanced options icon is sort of hidden, not to mention "Set as default browser" option, which is set by default and tries to trick you when you open UC Browser for the very first time with this:

Following Mozilla's Deal, Yahoo! Triples Its Market Share
If you are wondering how exactly the new search engine deal (where Yahoo! replaced Google as a default search engine in Firefox) has affected the trends in the industry, just take a look at the new data from Net Applications.
According to the new stats, Yahoo! has managed to [almost] triple its market share, up from 3.52% to 9.31% (5.79 points increase).

Microsoft Pulls Fake Opera Mini From The Windows Phone Store
App becomes "Mini Web Browser"
If you're wondering how tight Microsoft quality / fake apps control in the market place is then look no further than at the fake Opera Mini app, which was available for anyone to download for around 6 months.
Now, after nearly 1000 reviews in the US store alone, it was finally removed.

April, 2014 Mobile Market Share: Google Chrome, Opera Mini – Up; Safari, Android Browser, Internet Explorer – Down

AdBlock: Only 9.5% Of All Ad Whitelist Applications Are Accepted
Results are better than expected.
In its first release of statistics on the Acceptable Ads, AdBlock has revealed some interesting numbers that are worth mentioning.
According to a post by Ben Williams, they have rejected over 50% of all whitelist applicants (777) because their ads were not acceptable. In addition to that, they have only accepted 9.5% of all applicants, although the number is misleading due to the fake applications and/or communication breakdowns.

Blast From The Past: New Yahoo! Toolbar Is Here
It's finally happening, the day we've been all waiting for…
Remember the days when you went to your friend's house to fix the computer only to see dozens of weird toolbars blocking the view? So does Yahoo.
Yesterday, the Internet giant has revealed a new version of its toolbar (for the US), which allows users to quickly access all the Yahoo services as well as connect other social networks, such as Facebook and Thumblr.

Amazon's Silk Browser Updated

PirateBrowser Reaches 100,000 Downloads In 3 Days
It seems like the release of PirateBrowser has made quite a splash in the tech community.
According to the recent report, the anti-censorship browser by ThePirateBay has been downloaded over 100,000 times and that's just in the last 72 hours.
For those interested in the PirateBrowser, it should be noted that it only combats censorship and does not actually make the Internet experience fully anonymous.
Pirate Bay Releases PirateBrowser
No innovation, move along.
If you are using an ISP that blocks things that shouldn't be blocked in the first place, then PirateBrowser might very well be one of the web browsers to consider.
What is PirateBrowser anyway? Basically, it's nothing more than just a bundle (Firefox 23 and a Tor client), although The Pirate Bay also said to have included some proxy configuration to speed things up. That's pretty much it. Also, at least for now it's Windows only, with Mac and Linux versions coming later.

Yahoo Buys RockMelt For $60-70 Million
This is why you don't give women your credit card.
It looks like Yahoo's new CEO, Marissa Mayer, just can't stop buying things. For what appears to be her 18th acquisition this year, a web giant has just announced that they are acquiring RockMelt, a social web browser that was later discontinued and turned into a news aggregator, which too will now be shut down following the purchase.

Kathryn Fishman-Weaver, a special education teacher at ASCEND school in Fruitvale, wrote this piece about a recipe writing project her students recently completed. -Katy

My grandmother used to tell me a Jewish proverb that "worries go down better with soup." It's 4:30 on a Friday afternoon. I am talking to my student Isaiah's grandmother. I am worried about a bureaucratic decision that I think is under-serving students. Just as my own grandmother would have done, Isaiah's grandma starts baking for me.
In my multicultural classroom, our common love of food is often a point of connection. In fact some of my sweetest memories as a teacher are of eating with my students and their families: Christian's mom's surprise strawberry chalkboard cake; cooking Thanksgiving lunch with my students in our community kitchen, slurping up melting popsicles on the play yard with 20-plus extended family members at a spring party; sipping creamy chocolate with seven-year-olds on the morning of Day of the Dead; an eclectic gratitude potluck that included spaghetti, fried chicken, banana bread, enchiladas, the best flautas ever, and orange soda.
Just as I bring apples and honey to share with my students each Rosh Hoshana, I also bring to the classroom a passion for the written word. Our most recent writing project, a cookbook, combines these two forms of sustenance. Continue Reading

There may be a much lower demand in the market for 400X, but Fujifilm, the busienss, is not going anywhere from the market that we can see. Retailers sit back and scratch their balls and wonder why shoppers don't come through their door. The reason has been repeated umpteen times in the print media: "the prices are too high", "gouging", "they quote one price then jack it up when you come in", etc., etc.

With games like WoW, Blizz made the game for group X, and over the years theyve twinked the game to get groups Y, Z, ... etc thus making the game more mainstream and attracting a wider variety of gamers. By making the game appeal to more, you're going to eventually lose some earlier demographics because the negative changes made out weigh the aspects in which group X liked. Sucks for them, because by making those changes blizz added groups Y, Z, A and B but losing group X. Fair deal to them, they get more money, but they lose the group that they initially targeted.
Btw i didn't even mention a preference of EQ or WoW, i was commenting on MMOs as a whole and why theyre so much easier. l2read.
I threw in the WoW comments because that is what is being compared. L2comprehend.
I really don't care about what demographics are lost or gain. That is the concern of the developer. Who cares if they lost the Everquest target? It hasn't hurt their bottom line at all.

1/4 C. soy sauce
1/4 C. white vinegar
2 T. Dijon mustard
1 T. grated orange peel
2 T. catsup
2 T. chili sauce
Bring all the ingredients to a boil, and then boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool to lukewarm. Pour the mixture into a blender until it is smooth. Pour it into a bottle and cap tightly. Refrigerate and use within 90 days.

Homemade Family Favorite Steak Sauce
For a great steak sauce, I mix equal amounts of Worcestershire sauce and ketchup with a dash of onion powder.
Great Recipes for Homemade Sauce
Go to TopSecretRecipes.com. At this site, you will find lots of recipes of famous brands like Heinz ketchup and Kentucky fried chicken. I didn't see a recipe for A1 sauce. However, I did find the sauce recipes from the Lonestar steakhouse and the Outback steakhouse.
Inexpensive Steak Sauce Alternative
If you have an Aldi Foods Grocery Store near you, try their steak sauce. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Great Homemade Alternative
Here is a totally inexpensive alternative. I use it in the crockpot over a roast. It tastes very much like A1 steak sauce.
1/2 cup ketchup
1/3 cup lemon juice (bottled)
Salt and Pepper
Put the ingredients in small pan and simmer. Bottle and keep refrigerated. You can double or triple this recipe.

You'll Love This Homemade Steak Sauce
My husband loves this version of homemade A-1 sauce. I found this recipe in "Country Woman Magazine," dated July/August 1995.
2 cups ketchup
2 garlic cloves, minced
2/3 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup each lemon juice, water, Worcestershire sauce and vinegar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons prepared mustard
Combine all of the ingredients in a 3-quart saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Strain if desired. Cover and refrigerate. Yield: about 3 cups
Elaine's Homemade Steak Sauce
I make my own steak sauce recipe that is so easy. I have been told that it tastes similar to the A1 brand that costs so much in the grocery store.
Add one teaspoon of ground ginger to 2 cups of the ketchup and Worcestershire sauce mixture and simmer. If one desires it to be a little sweet, you may add some brown sugar to taste. After this cools, I pour it into a squeeze bottle, or any container, and keep it in the cupboard. You can refrigerate it if you desire.

Save Big at Save-a-Lot
Forget the A1 and try something different. If you have a Save-a-Lot near you, their knockoff of A1 tastes great and it is a great deal. We even add it to marinades without worrying about how much we are using.
