Mexia City Council will consider changing the rental fees for the convention center and a shooting lodge's request for hotel/motel tax funds when they meet Tuesday night.
Currently the city charges a higher rental rate for use of the convention center to those who live outside the city limits.
However, many people who want to use the facility, while living outside the city limits, own businesses within the city.
Also, some renters don't live in the city limits but have a relative who does sign off on the contract.

Though suffering from a cold and running in low temperatures and high winds, Limestone County's Eric Ayala completes the New York City Marathon on Nov. 3, placing 212th out of 47,000.

Limestone County's Eric Ayala, the seemingly perennial winner of Mexia's July 4th Firecracker 5K Run the past few years, ran in the New York City Marathon Nov. 3.
He placed a decent 212th out of 47,000, with a time of 2:47 in the 26-mile event.
His mother, Tracey Vasquez, of Mexia, is not at all surprised. The fact that he would someday be a runner was evident early in his life, she said recently.
"I should have known then that he was going to be a marathon runner because he would literally run all day long in circles around the house," she said. Not run around inside the house; run around the outside of the house.

Limestone County commissioners took up an issue at Tuesday's commissioners court meeting they had tabled at their last meeting two weeks ago: paying several Sheriff's Office employees for their overtime hours, rather than having them take time off.
At the Oct. 28 meeting, Commissioner John McCarver, who was conducting the meeting in the absence of County Judge Daniel Burkeen, commented that the number of hours at issue was high and the court agreed to take up the matter when Burkeen returned.
There were eight employees involved, who had accumulated a total of about 60-129 hours, totaling $10,000 in pay. Some of the overtime dated to the move from the old jail to the new jail in the spring of 2011.
Burkeen said he had met with Deputy Sheriff R.T. Beck during the past week to discuss this expense since Beck could not be at Monday's meeting.
L.N. "Sonny" Sikes, shown here at his ranch outside Huntsville, is a legend in the rodeo world. The Mexia native has dedicated his life to the sport, as a competitor, coach and role model. He won four national titles as a student at Sam Houston State University, where he is still active in the rodeo program.

Editor's note: Sam Houston State University created this feature on Mexia native and SHSU rodeo legend Sonny Sikes, which they graciously allowed to be shared with readers of The Mexia News. The article was written by SHSU student writer Marissa Nuñez.

On the wall of Sam Houston State University alumnus L.N. "Sonny" Sikes's home is a collage made up of black-and-white photographs of his siblings, nephews, in-laws and himself roping, surrounding a picture of his mother and father with the words "Sikes Family Legacy" printed across it.
Indeed, that is what the Sikes family has become in the world of rodeo—a legacy.
The sport of rodeo runs deep in the heart of the Sikes family and the name has become an institution in the rodeo world. Family members, both past and present, have become pioneers of the sport in their own right.

Residents of Limestone County who use the Rural Transit System and are on a budget, received good news at the last commissioners court meeting. The court also skipped the burn ban and dealt with a platting issue.
Commissioner John McCarver announced at the Oct. 28 meeting that the Heart of Texas Council of Governments had considered raising the rates to use its Rural Transit Service but decided against the idea.
The fees have been $1 within Limestone County and one-way; and $2 out of county. There had been a proposal to raise the rate, but HOTCOG decided against it.
Gas company officials were digging in this area outside A.B. McBay Elementary Friday, to find an underground leak that caused classes at all Mexia ISD
campuses to delay opening by two hours that day.

An underground gas leak at Mexia's A.B. McBay Elementary School Thursday caused a two-hour delay starting the school day for all Mexis ISD students Friday morning.
"There was just a routine check of our gas and when the guy came out to check … he noticed in the back of the cafeteria at McBay that when they put their instrument down in the ground, there was a high percentage of gas odor," said Dr. Sharon Ross, Mexia ISD superintendent. "He said ... they recommend shutting it off until they can find where the leak is."
Ross found out about the leak, which is underground and did not present a danger, around 3:05 p.m. Thursday. School lets out at 3:20 p.m.
Limestone County commissioners will consider at next Tuesday's meeting possibly authorizing Sam Callis, the county's On-Site Sewage Facilities officer, to issue citations in unincorporated areas of Limestone County for OSSF violations. The court will also discuss and vote on several financial matters.
The meeting will be held Tuesday instead of Monday because of the Veterans Day holiday.
An item tabled at last meeting because County Judge Daniel Burkeen was absent and several commissioners wanted his input involves authorizing a large comp time bill from the Sheriff's Office. Commissioner John McCarver facilitated the last meeting and noted that the invoice was very high.
The Rev. Marcus Sheffield, pastor of First Baptist Church, Mexia, stacks packed Christmas shoebox gifts in a hallway of the church. The congregants have already turned in 200 of the gifts and they will be added to those from other local churches to be distributed to impoverished children around the world.

Packaging a Christmas shoebox gift for poor children around the world has become a tradition for many, so much so that Limestone County has its own drop-off point for Operation Christmas Child gifts.
The designated location is Calvary Baptist Church, 519 S. McKinney St. in Mexia, which will be open for drop-offs one week only Nov. 18-25, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each weekday and 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday and Sunday. Volunteers will be present to accept the shoeboxes of gifts, which are anticipated to number about 2,000 this year in Limestone County.
"Operation Christmas Child spreads the Gospel of Jesus all around the world to children who may not otherwise hear about Jesus," said Debra Bishop, secretary at Calvary, when asked why she was personally involved in the project.

Because of America's role in the history of slavery, many people think the U.S. has a responsibility to repay those who are still being affected by this centuries-long legacy. Randy Browne is a history professor at Xavier University in Cincinnati and an alumnus of Eckerd College. He spoke Tuesday night at Eckerd in St. Petersburg. Browne thinks repaying the debt is all about acknowledging and accepting the role slavery played in shaping the Americas.

Enrique Chagoya
I imagine it would be difficult for someone who has had such a vast career as Enrique has to decide what to include in his artists talk. I thoroughly enjoyed his relaxed approach to presentation and his ability as a storyteller. He definatley took me on a journey through his past and through the history of Mexico. My favorite story was the one he told about deciding to become an artist. He was engaging, funny and confident in his presentation. It was evident he had been doing this for a long time but he still had a sense of enthusiasm which is essential.
However, he went well over an hour and a half and no matter how fascinating someone is that is too long. You could feel the audience start to squrim and people started leaving. An artists talk should be no more than an hour max and with a question period at the end.
Thank you

'Establishment' Republicans Backing Brief Government Default. No, Really.
Are Republicans willing to actually take on Wall Street? Maybe when it includes a shot at forcing more ideological spending cuts.
It appears that even "establishment" (according to Reuters, anyway) Republicans are willing to risk the dire consequences threatened by Wall Street analysts and investors if the debt limit isn't raised. Though ratings agency Moody's has threatened to downgrade the U.S.'s credit rating from Triple A if it didn't see progress toward a deal on the debt ceiling, presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty and of course, Paul Ryan, the would-be slasher of Medicare don't seem to mind.
Treasury Secretary Geithner, of course, is warning that even a brief default could trigger another crisis--one we can ill afford with unemployment hovering above 9%. And he's got an unlikely ally in former Bush speechwriter David Frum, who told Reuters:
"It is deeply, deeply troubling the number of Republicans I now talk to -- and I include the mainstream -- who think a technical default is manageable."
Among the consequences feared by the Wall Street crowd is a loss of confidence in the dollar, Treasury bonds, and in the U.S. more generally, which could have effects on the market like that seen after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008.
In other words: Republicans are playing a very dangerous game, one that could easily backfire on them. But nothing appears too outlandish to try if it could be used to prompt more spending cuts.

Boudreau on Western Conference travel: "This is ridiculous"
Feb 17, 2012, 11:43 AM EDT
The Anaheim Ducks are only halfway through their toughest road trip of the season — an eight-game, 15-day, 7,700-plus mile odyssey through Detroit, Columbus, Minnesota, Pittsburgh, New Jersey, Florida, Tampa Bay and Carolina — yet head coach Bruce Boudreau's already had enough of it.
"This is ridiculous," he told the Orange County Register. "The East has no idea how lucky they are. And I think every team in the West should start with 10 points before the season starts."
While grueling travel is nothing new to Western Conference vets — heck, the Vancouver Canucks have a sleep doctor on staff to combat endless time zone changes — it is to Boudreau, who spent the last four-and-a-half years with Washington.
"For a guy that's played in the East or coached in the East as well, I don't know how they do it," he said. "I really don't. It's quite a testament to every team in the West's character for not griping as much as I'm doing right now about it.
"You don't even know what hotel room you're getting into. You forget the hotel rooms and everything during the course of the day on this trip. It's pretty wild.
"But it is what it is. You can't use it as an excuse and you've got to keep going."
The travel hasn't affected the Ducks much — they're 3-0-1 thus far while allowing just six goals — though that may have to do with a heightened sense of desperation. Anaheim has clawed its way back into playoff contention and is just eight points back of eighth-place Los Angeles with a game in hand.
That said, Boudreau knows there's still a long way to go.
"When you have a four-game road trip in seven days, you're coming home exhausted," he explained. "We're at seven days right now and this is just the halfway point in our trip."

Welcome to the world of the Western Conference. It is absolutely crazy.
- tmoore4075 - Feb 17, 2012 at 12:20 PM
No kidding. Ask the Stars, Wings and Jackets about it. Amazing what a bubble the Eastern teams live in with their cushy schedule.
- jpelle82 - Feb 17, 2012 at 12:51 PM
damn those eastern teams, lucky bastards play in cities that were strategically established hundreds of years ago in locations based on economical and social convenience.
- tmoore4075 - Feb 17, 2012 at 3:01 PM
Well if they would only come up with a more balanced schedule like lets say 4 divisions where most games are in your division, every team visits every building at least once, and maybe a divisional playoff lets say. Oh wait….
- bensawesomeness - Feb 17, 2012 at 1:21 PM
And yet the western conference still owns the eastern conference year after year after year.
- back2backbees - Feb 17, 2012 at 3:47 PM
except last year of course…in the end that is.
- bensawesomeness - Feb 17, 2012 at 4:46 PM
You could make the argument that the Vancouver ( and, because i'm a fan, the Red Wings in 09) were exhausted from the travel and by the time they reached game 7 of the finals, it was too much
I'm not saying that Boston wasnt the better team or whatever, but it's definately not a level playing field when you get to that, the fatigue gets to you
- tk1966 - Feb 17, 2012 at 1:40 PM
Does this guy ever stop whining?
"He shouldn't have been the 1st star of the week"
"The travel is too tough"
"There isn't enough sauce on my wings"
- wethog66 - Feb 17, 2012 at 3:02 PM
Bitter that BB's is proving he knows what he is doing? Me thinks yes.
- natswizskincap - Feb 17, 2012 at 10:33 PM
You can hate but DC still loves BB and wishes OVI had stepped up instead of working against you!!! Rock the BB
- tk1966 - Feb 17, 2012 at 3:20 PM
Quite a leap to conclude that my pointing out his incessant griping equates to me being "bitter"….
But, whatever makes you happy. More power to you.
Have a nice day

Comments Thread For: Bob Shannon Still Believes, Has Faith in David Price
Manchester-based trainer Bob Shannon feared he had seen the last of Audley Harrison when working as a cutsman for A-Force during Harrisons fight with Liverpools David Price in October of last year. Harrison was stopped in a single round, his nose was badly damaged and his career seemed over yet Harrison, 31-6 (23), roared back on Saturday night when winning Prizefighter: The International Heavyweights.
On the same night as Audleys comeback from his mauling at the fists of Price, and in the same Echo Arena venue where he stopped Harrison and Matt Skelton, Price learned the pain of professional defeat when losing in two-rounds to Americas Tony Thompson. A counter to the ear floored the 29-year-old and robbed him of his equilibrium; he beat the count, but was stopped on his feet and now drops to 15-1 (13).

Is the World Simple or Complex?
John D. Barrow
The view of the Universe created by discoveries in fundamental science has become increasingly influential beyond the halls of science. It provides the basis for many attempts to interpret the significance of the cosmos and the place of humans within it. Whether we like it or not, our scientific picture of the Universe provokes us to make an evaluation of that picture. Until quite recently, that picture was biased by a particular perspective on the workings of Nature, a perspective that was imposed upon us largely by practicalities. In what follows, I take a look at two contrasting views of Nature that have both been much in the news over recent years, as scientists from very different disciplines have trumpeted dramatic developments through the media and in works of popular science. For the outsider, these different messages can be confusing and disjointed. On the one hand, there are the physicists talking of "Theories of Everything" and the rapid convergence of investigations of Nature towards a single, all-encompassing mathematical theory, whereas, on the other hand, we are told of chaos, unpredictability, and bottomless complexity all around us.
These differing messages have each inspired extrapolations into the philosophy of science and other subjects as well, as commentators seek to evaluate what they have to tell us about who we are, why we are, and where we might be going. My aim, here, is one of explanation: to ask whether the Universe is simple or complicated and to show that the question is a subtle one. Its answer takes us on a tour of many important developments in science. Perhaps it will also help us evaluate the significance of these developments--to understand more accurately both their value for science and the forms of value of which science can legitimately speak.

[0001] The present invention relates generally to graphical displays
[0002] Digital transmitters, such as digital senders, digital network copiers, multi-function peripherals, etc., convert printed material, e.g., paper documents, into digital data to be sent to various predefined destinations, e.g., electronic mail (email) addresses, facsimile (fax) destinations (e.g., via LAN fax, Internet fax, etc.), network printers, personal computers, network storage devices, or other data receiving devices. Digital transmitters normally include a scanner for scanning the printed material for subsequent conversion into digital data by the digital transmitter. For many applications, digital transmitters convert the data into a data file, e.g., formatted data files, such as Portable Document Format (PDF), Tag Image File Format (TIFF), Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG), or other data format.
[0003] The data files are often located in a file system, a folder system, a file/folder system, or the like of a database, such as a document management system, a workflow system, etc., in a memory of the digital transmitter or on a network storage device. The elements of the database, e.g., files and/or folders, are usually represented by names listed on a series of drop-down lists on a display of the digital transmitter, e.g., according to a hierarchy. Navigating drop-down lists can become difficult and often confusing, for example, for a large number of database elements, a large number of hierarchical levels, etc. Moreover, many digital scanners have relatively small displays that can make navigating drop-down lists difficult, especially drop-down lists having a large number of database elements, hierarchical levels, etc.
[0004] An embodiment of the present invention provides a display for a digital transmitter having a graphical map with a plurality of interconnected icons. A size of each of the icons varies according to the distance of the respective icon from a central region of the display.
[0010] In the following detailed description of the present embodiments, reference is made to the accompanying drawings that form a part hereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration specific embodiments in which the invention may be practiced.

ORCHARD PARK, NY - 2009: Andy Levitre of the Buffalo Bills poses for his 2009 NFL headshot at photo day in Orchard Park, New York. (Photo by NFL Photos)
In yet another season of double-digit IR designations and job security rumors, the Buffalo Bills have at least one thing they can rely on: Andy Levitre suiting up on a Sunday. Levitre missed practice Wednesday, though don't expect to see him inactive this weekend in the team's final game against the New York Jets. Levitre has made 63 consecutive starts — every game since his introduction into the league in 2009 — and at nearly every position on the offensive line.The Bills' line has struggled to keep starters healthy in recent years, and Levitre has stepped in time and again to smooth things out as well as possible via hard-nosed performances and reliability.

A grunt-init template for grunt-nautilus projects.
Creates a grunt-nautilus Gruntfile with grunt-init.
If you haven't already done so, install grunt-init.
Once grunt-init is installed, clone the grunt-init-gruntnautilus template into your
~/.grunt-init/ directory:
git clone https://github.com/kitajchuk/grunt-init-gruntnautilus.git ~/.grunt-init/gruntnautilus
If you already have grunt-init-gruntnautilus installed and need to update it, you can do the following:
cd ~/.grunt-init/gruntnautilus git pull origin master
This init template is installing with the latest release of grunt-nautilus, version
~0.5. Run the following command from your project's root:
grunt-init gruntnautilus --project "Firefly"
You can optionally use a default template and skip the prompts. The following pre-baked templates exist for these frameworks:
An example of using the middleman template:
grunt-init gruntnautilus:squarespace --project "Firefly"
If you are not using a default template, you will answer a series of prompts so grunt-nautilus can make magic happen:
This creates the following files in the cwd:
Now you can install the necessary packages:
# Node modules npm install
This will install grunt, grunt-nautilus and its peer packages as well as jquery and hammerjs.
Checkout the grunt-nautilus plugin to continue.

Just a week ago, Democratic challenger Elizabeth Warren and incumbent Republican Senator Scott Brown were in a statistical dead heat. Now, Warren officially has the lead.
According to Roll Call, a new poll on the Massachusetts senate race now has Warren out-polling incumbent Brown by 7 points, a number that is outside of the poll's margin of error. "Among registered voters, 49 percent said they would vote for the Harvard professor and 42 percent said they would vote for Brown 'if the election … were being held today.' Those numbers included those who leaned more toward one candidate or the other. Six percent were undecided."
As Talking Points Memo notes, however, this was a somewhat unusually small sample size, which accounts for the larger than normal margin of error on the poll. But it still shows a strong trend for Warren, especially with the 10 point gain since the last time the same research company polled. Writes John Marshall, "[T]his race is crystallizing the core issues the 2012 cycle looks set to turn on — finance vs. main street, wealth and income inequality, the pros and cons of survival of the fittest economics."

Guess the GOP's probably now wishing they hadn't filibustered her nomination to head the CPB, eh? If I lived in Mass, she'd def have my vote!
she is awesome !! GO LIZ !
Huh, Steve r, Huh??
I hear that Warren is already getting hit with attack ads. I hope she can manage to hang in there through the disinformation.
Steve R -- not up to your usually caustic self, huh?
Go, Elizabeth!!
Wonderful news, I truly hope she makes it all the way!!!
I sure hope she makes it, we could really use her right now.
Go Elizabeth Warren!!! I am proud to have contributed the minimum dollar amount for her campaign. Karl Rove support for Scot Brown will fail, even with all the dirty tricks he applies to discredit Warren and orchestrate a fixed result. We need 200 Warrens with her ethics and morality in all State and Federal governments,Congress, the Supreme Court to make America a sane and just society we once were.

Limeade Caffeinated are the nugget of choice
I've never been a big fan of juicy little energy chews. Until I tried these. The limeade caffeinated are my favorite. They're soft and not too sweet and they pack just enough of a caffeine boost with electrolytes that they are a great addition to the rest of my endurance nutrition pantry. Note that I don't mix these with other brand chews in the same run. I have a sensitive stomach and mixing with Clif or other versions gives me stomach issues. I stick to Honey Stinger only and I'm good to go.

I got a new phone on Friday. I activated the new micro sim via the web site, but by Saturday morning, nothing had happened.
I called on Saturday and they said that they'll activate it.
By Sunday morning, nothing had happened. So I called again, and they said that whatever was done on Saturday didn't work (I don't know how they knew that or that they did anything differently). By Sunday evening, nothing had happened.
I called again Sunday evening and got through to an engineer. He said to take the sim out and put it back in.
By Monday evening (now), nothing has happened.
Someone please help! What do I need to do to get this working?!
Solved! See best answer
Here's some facts that I've just been told by a Vodafone rep. I'm not sure if they're true or not, perhaps someone could clarify:
1. The sim that I received with my pay-as-you-go Moto G phone (ordered from the Vodafone web site) , cannot be activated and used with my monthly number. A new sim must be sent from Vodafone for this to be activated. I don't think this is true as I've spoken to about 4 different Vodafone reps since trying to get this activated on Friday, and none of them mentioned this fact.
2. The sim I got this afternoon from a Vodafone shop (I got it because the other one wouldn't activate and I was advised by a Vodafone rep to try a different sim) - can only be activated in the Vodafone shop where I got it from. I don't think this is true, because when I asked for the sim in the shop, the assistant asked if I'd like her to activate it, but I said I'll do it later when I'm home as I don't have the phone with me. She didn't mention that what I had just said was an impossibility!
I am really peeved at the service received so far, and I think I've just been fed a pack of lies.
Problem solved. Here's what happened:
1. I ordered a PAYG phone from Vodafone. It came with a micro-sim.
2. I asked Vodafone to active my sim so that I could use my pay-monthly account
3. It didn't work
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 about 4 or 5 times
5. Go to a Vodafone shop and get another sim
6. Repeat step 2
7. Go to a Vodafone shop and get another sim
8. Repeat step 2
9. Faint when the damn thing actually works (and is activated within 2 minutes)!
Here's what was different and what Vodafone should be asking and making people aware of:
1. If the sim you're trying to activate is a PAYG sim and the number you want to transfer to it is a contract number, then forget it - it won't work.
2. If the sim you're trying to activate is a blank sim, then you can't activate it yourself and you can't get Vodafone to activate it over the phone.
Hi Steve D,
I'm glad this is now working for you.
To clarify, the SIM which came with the new phone would already have a Pay as you go number attached. That's why you couldn't activate the Pay monthly number on it.
That said, I'm unsure why the first replacement SIM would also have failed.

Jeremy Lee thinks Superdrug is an early contender for Turkey of the Year: "A punter (in reality, a press-ganged member of staff – possibly because Equity imposed a ban) does a crappy little dance at the bargains on offer. At the same time, any charm from the previous campaign, by HMDG, instantly vanishes."

Love to laugh, easy going, smart...and can cook!!
Like most people, I really don't know what to say here but here goes. I love people and have dedicated my life to helping others. I guess that means I'm a nuturer? I make friends easily and am comfortable walking into a room of strangers and starting up conversations. I have a good sense of humor and love to laugh...mostly at the irony of life. As an only child I suppose I'm easily entertained. Guys think I'm pretty easy going (for a girl anyway...lol) but it should be known that I'm not the suffer in silence type. What does that mean? It means that not much ruffles my feathers but if I'm upset or otherwise unhappy I'll speak up about it. Let's see, my job is pretty demanding and as a result free time is not a luxury I can enjoy right now. I do believe that people make time for things that are important...that said, I will make time for the right guy when he comes along. What I'm looking for? Really simple but rare apparently. I'm interested in someone who is smart, ambitious and confident with good communication skills. He should not take himself or the typical challenges of life too seriously. If I've peaked your interested I'd love to hear from you. If not, good luck!!

"Good but dark"
I liked the book overall. The ending was somewhat sudden, but at the same time I think it was perfect -- Snowman had to come to terms with the future, and what it should or should not hold.
I'm not sure I should have gotten the book. After listening to an audiobook for a few hours, I get increasingly hooked, and end up spending all of my spare time listening to it -- commuting, cleaning house, grocery shopping, knitting, whatever -- and this book was a little dark for that. I think it darkened my outlook on life for a few days. But it would be great for a long drive; it was very interesting and entertaining.
"Brilliant writing and reading..."
The story itself is exceptional science fiction, capturing both the plausible arc of technology and its resulting apocalypse. In addition, it is a remarkable coming of age story in the technocracy of a not so distant future. This was my first Attwood and I will definitely read more. In addition, the narration is superior. Campbell Scott strikes exactly the right tone for this story, which in my mind makes listening preferable to reading. A slam dunk for audio books!
"Brilliant Atwood"
Although I am a fan of Margaret Atwood's, I hesitated to listen to this book because the premise seemed sooooo far fetched. However, from page 1 she makes it believable, tells an interesting and at times heartbreaking story, and presents to us (in true Atwood fashion) the hard questions, for which there may be no answer.
"Excellent Work"
I recommend listening to this book from a high quality down load. The narrator is so good that the story comes to life through his interpretation. I see this book as both informing and entertaining. Atwood has obviously engaged herself in the technologies of today and where these technologies may take us. To her credit, she is able to present her views, maybe her fears, in an entertaining manner. This book introduces the reader to characters within a world that is somehow quite imaginable. Jimmy represents words and the arts, and Crake is the 'well meaning' scientist who thinks that technology will save us. Oryx is the masses, the population that does not think too deeply about these issues. Atwood is able to tap into salient aspects of science and technological progress.
"Great Story, Poor Reader"
The title of this review pretty much says it all. I listen to a lot of science fiction audio books. I have heard a range of readers and I need to say that the person reading this book is flat and boring. He doesn't seem to know how to make the story alive or real.
I'd recommend buying the book and reading it instead.
"Not for the faint of heart"
This book is a truly disturbing view of the near future where biotechnology gets way out of hand. It resulted in several weeks of near panic attacks and worry about what the future holds. While it was very interesting to read, it was unsettling and then it just ENDS. I enjoy books like this that provide flashbacks and finally bring you to where the book started. Atwood paints a vivid picture but I have to admit that it truly freaked me out. The most chilling part of the picture is that it is entirely probable based on our current path.
T. Collins
"A mediocre tale with a disappointing conclusion..."
This book takes a raw look at the future, and it's not pretty. The story is a long narrative as told from the viewpoint of Snowman, a man trapped in a bleak fight for survival. I found the beginning of the book to be quite slow. The second half picked up nicely and put the pieces together well enough, though. The story and the author's view of future life on planet earth are disturbing because as with any good fictional work they are woven with so many threads of truth. Despite this, I did not find this to be a particularly good book. Now, I do not have to have my stories wrapped up and tied with a pretty bow, however the ending to this book takes that premise way too far. I found the book's conclusion very unsatisfying. Campbell Scott does a very good job of narrating and setting the tone for the story, but he can't raise this novel up from the mediocre.
"Pretty good but..."
Overall this was a good story, and it really made me think about possible futures for our society, which I suspect was the author's intent. The narrator was also good. What I didn't like about it was how much of the story relied on flashbacks. There was very little action that was occuring in the present. The ending was also a little disappointing, because it was a complete cliffhanger, so i'm not sure if she was leaving it open for a sequel or what. Overall, a pretty good book I suggest you listen to.
"I couldn't finish this one."
I got through a little over 4.5 hours of the 10 hour book and just had to set it aside, which is unusual for me. Sure, the book is bleak and dark, set in a world where we've genetically modified everything, and the first 20 minutes or so I found completely awesome, but over the next 3 hours, I found myself caring less and less about the main character and came to the conclusion that I've read stories like this before, and seen them done better. EARTH ABIDES comes to mind. Hell, FEED, a post-apocolyptic zombie novel where bloggers are the real news reporters is set in a more believable and well thought-out world than ORYX AND CRAKE, which somehow managed to be both simplistic and over the top while leaving me emotionally cold.
I guess this is the book I should have expected by an author who was offended when two of her books (O&K and HT) were labeled sci-fi. "Science fiction has monsters and spaceships; speculative fiction could really happen... ORYX AND CRAKE is a speculative fiction, not a science fiction proper. It contains no intergalactic space travel, no teleportation, no Martians... Science fiction (as opposed to what she wrote) is talking squids in outer space." A smidgen more understanding of how good sci-fi works would have made this story much more enjoyable.
"Well written book, narration a little flat"
Let me start with the narration: it comes off a little monotonous and flat. The narrator does a decent job of giving each character a unique voice, but a little more life in the dialog would have been an improvement.
As for the story itself, I found it excellent. The story unfolds intriguingly, the characters are well developed, and the dialog is very well done. It shows a very realistic view of the more base aspects of life. The main character really captures the feelings of being caught in the grind of life, underachieving, the twisted aspects of romantic relationships, and the general drudgery of life.
A minor flaw, in my opinion, is the fact that some of the social commentary is a little obvious. The author takes swipes at corporate greed and consumerism that seem a little forced.
Overall, I found this to be an excellent book, with good narration. I would highly recommend it.

"The card was fun to design, shipping was fast, and the final product was exactly what I wanted. My expectations were met with quality. Super cute card for a boy's birthday party at a baseball game!"
"I ordered this invitation in red with the slight shimmer paper. They are gorgeous! Very nice design and amazing quality!"

Pierre Rolland relishes Alpe d'Huez win, Sanchez satisfied with polka-dot prize
Voeckler tells Rolland to go it alone as 24-year-old claims stage and best youhng rider's white jersey
Pierre Rolland of Europcar, who this afternoon won an enthralling Stage 19 of the Tour de France on the Alpe d'Huez, has revealed that he had the full blessing of team leader Thomas Voeckler, whose ten-day spell in the maillot jaune came to an end today.
The 24-year-old Rolland has been Voeckler's near-constant companion over the past week and a half, helping the race leader to get up the big climbs in the Alps and Pyrenees.
"I said I wanted to do everything possible to defend the yellow jersey of Thomas but on the climb of the Galibier, he told me, 'Seize your chance, don't worry about me'," explained Rolland afterwards, adding, "This is also where I see that he is a great champion, one who was able to tell me to go at the right time."
While the attention of the nation and cycling fans around the world has been firmly focused on Voeckler, Rolland has been quietly and unselfishly going about his own business and his performances saw him move to within 33 seconds of best young rider classification leader Reim Taaramae of Cofidis at the start of this morning's stage.
When Voeckler, who had been dropped by Alberto Contador and Andy Schleck on the Telegraphe, finally cracked on the Galibier and dropped back to – and straight through – the group containing several other riders towards the top of the GC as well as Rolland, it was time for the French team to switch to Plan B.
Rolland in the white jersey would have been consolation enough, and the 24-year-old from Gien in the Loire Valley now leads Taaramae by 1 minute 33 seconds. A stage victory on arguably the most prestigious summit finish in cycling is quite another, and it also means that the 2011 Tour will not go down in history alongside those of 1926 and 1999 in producing no French stage winners.
Today also looked likely to produce a foreign stage winner as the man who now had the maillot jaune, Andy Schleck, and defending champion Alberto Contador led the race over the Galibier, with Rolland one of the riders chasing hard behind to reel them in, and the main contenders – minus Voeckler – approached the foot of the Alpe d'Huez together.
"I immediately wanted to prepare myself for something by attacking in the valley," said Rolland of getting the go-ahead from his team to ride for himself, not to defend the maillot jaune. "Still, this is a climb that I know very well one that I've reconnitoired more than a dozen times last year," he continued.
The Europcar man, together with Garmin-Cervelo's Ryder Hesjedal, were the first to attack on the Alpe d'Huez, but they would soon be passed by Contador as the Saxo Bank-SunGard rider again attacked his rivals.
The Spaniard, who has endured a difficult Tour as a result of being delayed behind or involved in crashes, the tiredness of a tough Giro d'Italia from which he emerged overall winner, the stress of his forthcoming appeal hearing and a knee injury, at least appeared to be heading towards the consolation of a stage win as he passed under the 5 kilometre to go banner on his own.
Rolland, by now joined by Samuel Sanchez, had other ideas however, and with less than 3 kilometres to go, he and the Euskaltel-Euskadi rider had caught the defending champion.
"When I found myself with two Spaniards, I knew they knew each other very well," admitted Rolland, "So I told myself that I would not finish second, it was win or nothing.
"I knew at turn one I could push the big chainring early on this climb at such a pace because I did it many times in training," he added. "This is a stage that I've watched dozens of times on video, with Armstrong, Pantani... I studied their cadence. And now it's me who has won! It will take me a little time before I realize what I've done."
On the day when French hopes faded of Voeckler becoming the first home rider since Bernard Hinault in 1986 to wear the maillot jaune in Paris, Rolland has immediately appeared as a ready made hero and is already being spoken of as the country's big hope for the future.
While today represented the biggest win of his brief career, he has previously topped the mountains classifications in both the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré and the Criterium Internationale, and his climbing ability is not lost on the French media.
"As for the suggestions that I could win the Tour de France... well, we must not forget that I'm only 24, and I have 10 wonderful years," he commented. "I know I'm going to train to be at the highest level, and not have regrets when my career is over."
For now, however, Europcar will be celebrating a win at one of the Tour's most famous finish lines that caps a hugely successful Tour for them, irrespective of whether Rolland goes on to secure the maillot jaune.
Just 12 months ago, the team's future was hanging in the balance after former backer Bbox Bouygues Telecom decided not to renew its sponsorship, and the loyalty of Voeckler, who had received other offers but continued to support team manager Jean-René Bernaudeau, led to Europcar coming on board.
The car hire company has enjoyed a spectacular return on its investment, its name appearing on pictures of Voeckler in the maillot jaune appearing on televisions, websites and in newspapers and magazines all over the world in the last fortnight, and Rolland's win today will have come as a very welcome bonus.
Sanchez, who finished second to Rolland today, has the consolation of having secured the mountains classification, and said afterwards: "On the ascent of Alpe d'Huez, Alberto went first then I followed a little later and I took Pierre Rolland with me, but didn't manage to win the stage. This morning I first wanted to see if I had recovered well from yesterday's stage, which was a bad day for me.
"It is always matter of pride to be on the podium in Paris. And I now wear a jersey with some prestige – it's a victory for me and for my team. I take it as a reward for all the work that has been done on this Tour. Now I think back and I'll see what state I am tomorrow for the race again the clock, and with what aim.
"If I must take stock, it is far from negative: I've won a beautiful stage to Luz Ardiden, taken the the polka-dot jersey and I finished in the top 10 of the Tour de France. I think Jelle Vanendert had a bad time on the ascent of the Galibier, but he will be a true force to be considered in the coming years."

You are the most important person in
determining whether you will have a healthy pregnancy.
Gestational diabetes, like any form of diabetes,
cannot be successfully treated with medicines alone.
Your doctor,
diabetes educator, registered dietitian, and other health professionals
can help you learn how to care for yourself and protect your baby from
problems. If you learn as much as you can about gestational diabetes, you will
have the knowledge you need to have a healthy pregnancy. As you understand how
food and exercise affect your blood sugar, you can better control your blood
sugar level and help prevent problems from gestational diabetes.
Home treatment for gestational diabetes includes changing the way you
eat, exercising regularly, and checking your blood sugar.
Changing what, when, and how much you eat can help
keep your blood sugar level in a target range. After you are diagnosed with gestational
diabetes, you will meet with a registered dietitian to decide on an
individualized healthy eating plan. Your dietitian may ask you to write down
everything you eat and to keep track of your weight. He or she will also teach
you how to count
carbohydrate in order to spread carbohydrate
throughout the day.
Regular, moderate
exercise during pregnancy helps your body use
insulin better, which helps control your blood sugar
level. Often, exercising and eating well can treat gestational diabetes. Try to
do at least 2½ hours a week of moderate exercise.4, 5 One way to do this is to be active
30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week. It's fine to be active in blocks of
10 minutes or more throughout your day and week.
If you have never
exercised regularly or were not exercising before you became pregnant, talk
with your doctor before you start exercising. Exercise that does not place too
much stress on your lower body—such as using an arm ergometer, a machine that
just works your arm muscles; or riding a recumbent bicycle, a type of bike with
a seat that looks like a chair—are especially good for pregnant women. You may
also want to try special exercise classes for pregnant women or other
low-impact activities such as swimming or walking.
If exercise and changing the way you eat keep your
blood sugar within a target range, you will not need to take diabetes medicine. If you need to take insulin, make sure you have a
quick-sugar food, such as 3 or 4 glucose tablets or 3 pieces of hard candy, with you when you exercise in case
you have
symptoms of low blood sugar. Symptoms of low blood sugar include sweating, blurred vision, and confusion. If you think that your
blood sugar is low, stop exercising, check your blood sugar level, and eat the
important part of treating gestational diabetes is checking your blood sugar
level at home. Every day, you will do a
home blood sugar test one or more times. It may be overwhelming to
test your blood sugar so often. But knowing that your level is within a target range
can help put your mind at ease. Talk to your doctor about how often to test your blood sugar.

Sox catcher's a real keeper
Sox catcher's a real keeper
The Red Sox have four major free agent decisions to make this winter, and the bet here is that you can name three of them immediately.
There's Jacoby Ellsbury, of course. He'll end up being one of the highest-paid players on the market. There's also first baseman Mike Napoli, who is turning on the power in September, as well as steady shortstop Stephen Drew, a player more respected by management and the coaching staff necessarily than the fans.

"I think that sand traps were invented here." Pinehurst by etfromnc
Pinehurst Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 12 photos
Come to the Sandhills of North Carolina and enjoy the ambiance of small towns, southern hospitality, great food, and relaxing accommodations from quaint bed & breakfasts to historic hotels. The Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen Area provides a wonderful destination for visitors from all over the world. There is a lot of money in this area as it used to be the winter home for a lot of people from the Northeast before Florida became so easily accessible. Horses and golf are among the most popular leisure (?) activities. There are 43 of North Carolina's finest golf courses in the area and I have no idea how many equestrian centers. (And, yes, I know that sand traps were not invented here.) There are also incredible opportunities for dining, arts, and shopping, so it's no wonder that golfers and non-golfers alike flock to the region for both its fairways and its fun.

Finally a wedding, I was getting worried that this relationship was all over. Wonderfully written I could imagine that Pete would be persistent when it came to choosing his wife, after all he has waited a long time.
The characters are again written with the passion of a dedicated author. Thank you again and looking forward to possible future stories with these characters.
| ladybuguab chapter 1 . 12/22/2010
I really enjoyed this. It may have been short, but it was perfect. With the mention of her father and the problems he could cause, does that mean that you are going to continue this storyline? I sure hope so.
Thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas.

Limited-time feature
65 year old man | Concord, CA, USA | Seeking women 40-65 within 500 miles
Physically active & dynamic man with wide interests seeks funny woman for trips, dinners, concerts, plays, and literary discussions.
I am an elderly, doddering and decrepit, ex-E.R. doc who is currently working as a healthcare executive. All pics are less than 18 months old but with considerable attention to lighting, make-up, location and props. I work-out approximately 4-5 times a week at my local Aikido dojo which doubles as my spiritual growth center. I enjoy hiking and backpacking in the High Sierras, Idaho or Montana several times a year. For the last four years, I have lived by myself in an apartment. I have three grown kids. My youngest, an 18 y.o. daughter who lives with her mom, just graduated from high school and be off to Montana State next month. My son lives in Idaho and my oldest daughter graduated two years ago from Lewis Clark College in Portland where she lives. I am looking for a woman with (in order of importance): 1] a great sense of humor, 2] attractive appearance, 3] fun and 4) a sufficiently fit body to be an adventuresome/wild woman...occasionally. Bonus points if you speak another language or can swear fluently in three - or if you read voraciously. I suspect the reading attribute is crucial to anyone with whom I will have a lasting relationship. However, if you don't read much but fit #1 and #2 above, don't write me off immediately as I am willing to flex! Politically, I am a fiscal conservative and a social liberal: clearly I have no party. I am a registered Independent. My significant other doesn't have to agree with me (probably won't!) but we do have to be able to discuss issues, perhaps by candlelight? My father was a SAC pilot, as were two uncles, and my aunt was a Navy pilot who flew P51s in 1944-5! I served in the 82nd Airborne, so I would prefer to find someone proud of our country and not conflicted by my family's military heritage. (On the basis of previous experience on Match.com, and on putting this information "up front," I have decided to expanded my search to include Idaho and Montana. You may (or may not) be surprised at the volume of women in the Bay Area who won't go out with a man who is proud of having served in the US military! I enjoy travel and will get to Far East and especially the ruins in Cambodia within a year or two. I want to return to Europe and visit Greek ruins in Greece, Albania and Turkey. I am not much on cruises but if you're paying I will let you twist my arm. (BTW, In college I was a fair Bridge player.) One of my best vacations ever was spent sailing, diving and lolling in the British Virgin Islands - I could be pulled back there in a nanosecond. I want to visit Chile and brush-up on (O.K. - rebuild) my Spanish. That's the initial cut, there's more if you are still reading. If interested, let me know. I may have to clear my schedule and stop by the florist and the Belgium chocolate store on the way over....

Martial arts, Skiing, Walking / Hiking
I exercise 5 or more times per week.

While there is usually a cat or two and/or a dog in my life, because I live in an apartment and currently want to be free to travel easily, I am not currently allowing one to own me.
Middle of the Road
I am currently fixing up a house in Sun Valley/Ketchum, Idaho. My son and I did the River of No Return four years ago. I enjoy S.F., Point Reyes and Newport Beach as I have access to a house on the boardwalk near Blackie's!
