Cintiq wants and needs
It's quite simple, and it's not killing the Batman.
Actually, it doesnt seem simple at all but I love working on long paper since I do a lot of fashion/pin up/scifi (nowhere as good as most of the artists here though! Yeesh!) and would desperately like to know how to do this
...With my 21UX. Seriously, it looks like nothing at all but it's really stuck in my craw. The guy who did it in the photo said this "Using ATI Catalyst drivers I rotated the display. this is usefull for reading tabloid style ;3
however the cursors position gets rotated to wich confuses wacom's drivers. I'm going to ask them to support rotated desktop capabilities since that could really help if your doing paintings in portrait form. " and I have no idea what an ATI Catalyst driver is.
Also, he did this back in '05, so I wonder if Wacom has added some unknown function to the 3 or 4 series that can do this without mucking the pen and drivers up to the point of retardation.
Any information would just be the bees knees.

America's 5 most loveable utilities
By: SGN Staff
Quick Take: America's 5 most loveable utilities? According to one study of consumer engagement, they are:
· Arizona Public Service (APS)
· Clark Public Utilities
· Salt River Project
· Seattle City Light
What made them so popular? They offered customers a choice of programs and services. Repeat after me. Customers love choice. Customers love choice. I will read the findings of the J.D. Power report below and then start developing ways to give my customers choice. - By Jesse Berst
J.D. Power reports: awareness and participation in electric utility offerings increases overall satisfaction
While many electric utility companies provide programs to help their customers manage their energy costs, a large percentage of their customers are not aware of the programs available to them, according to the J.D. Power 2013 Consumer Engagement Study released today.
The inaugural study measures the level of residential customers' engagement with their electric utility's programs, products and services, and is based on responses from customers of electric utilities throughout the United States and Canada. The study also provides electric utilities with insights regarding customer awareness, familiarity and usage of their utility's programs, products and services; ease of enrollment and participation in these offerings; and the impact these offerings have on the overall customer experience.
Data from the J.D. Power 2013 Electric Utility Residential Customer Satisfaction Study SM shows that overall satisfaction is highest among customers who participate in one or more of their electric utility's offerings at 679 on a 1,000-point scale. Satisfaction declines to 642 among those who are aware of the offerings, but have chosen to not participate in them, and declines even further to 582 among those who are unaware of any offerings from their utility.
"Creating awareness and motivating customers to engage with new energy programs, products and services is a huge opportunity for utilities to improve customer satisfaction," said Jeff Conklin, senior director of the energy utility practice at J.D. Power. "Customer satisfaction is higher when consumers are merely aware of programs, and then satisfaction increases substantially with each additional program a consumer joins."
Customers were asked about their awareness of 29 various programs, products and services commonly offered by utilities. Study findings show that 19 percent of customers are not aware of any of the programs being offered by their utility provider. Electric utility company programs with the highest awareness rates are e-bill or electronic bill statements and payments (53%); in-home energy audit (28%); and awareness of rebates on Energy Star appliances (28%).

AMSTERDAM (AP) — Guards removed the final barriers blocking the way, and a cheer went up from the crowd. Moments later, a small army mounted on bicycles of all shapes and sizes eagerly stormed the path that leads straight through the heart of the Netherlands' newly renovated national museum.
Their bells were ringing all the way.
It has taken Amsterdam's pro-bike lobby years of fighting to overcome architects, museum directors and a local government that sought to have the path closed forever. And there is still some doubt as to whether the path may not be closed at times to prevent unsuspecting tourists and pedestrians from being struck by bikes.
But in a city where there are more bikes than people, cyclists savored the path's opening as a triumphant moment Monday.
"There was so much commotion over this, and some really heavyweight parties, such as the Rijksmuesum and the muck-a-mucks who said 'you can't do this, the bikes shouldn't be let through," said Bicylists' Union spokeswoman Marjolein de Lange. "Above all else, we're happy that we did it."
The Rijksmuseum, which houses Dutch national treasures including paintings by Rembrandt van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh, Jan Steen and Johannes Vermeer, reopened last month after a 10-year renovation. But the dispute over the bike path lasted a little longer.
Traffic had been allowed through a tunnel-like passage under the somewhat eccentric brick building since it was constructed in 1885.
The Rijksmuseum itself resembles a fairytale castle, and the path runs through the middle, where a castle gate would be.
In 2001, Spanish architecture firm Cruz y Ortiz won a contest for a design to renovate the museum. Their original plan brought light into the center of the building by opening its central courtyards to natural light, and eliminated the path to make way for a new entrance.
That set off the first round of the dispute, with the museum's previous director, Ronald de Leeuw, fighting what he termed the "provincial" standpoint of the bike lobby that opposed the plan.

Dras Weldon is a twenty-two-year-old unemployed washout. He lives in a world populated by horror movies and comic books, content to hide in the shadow of adolescence. Under the scrutinizing eye of his older brother, Jeff, a pastor, Dras lives a life of professed Christianity with very little observable spirituality. He must change. However, when a demon known only as "the Strange Man" comes to his small town of Greensboro and threatens Drass best friend, Rosalyn Myers, Dras discovers that only by putting his faith into action can he save his friend from danger. Suddenly he is thrust into a race against the clock and forced to battle demonic forces in an effort to convince Rosalyn to accept Christ and turn away from the coming evil.

new ram owner- is 21MPG normal?
1 Attachment(s)
I've read lots of post about people getting 21 mpg with tunes, exhaust, and CAI ... however, my truck is a stock 5.7 big horn crew cab.. it easily maintained a 21 mpg at 75 on a recent trip.. with a 20.5 avg for the trip city and all.. I was shocked, my last f150 barely got 15 on the interstate.. avg 11 or so and my other f150 close to 17...with 13 avg and I see some people here with similar numbers as a normal with their hemis... im just curious as to what you guys are getting with your trucks and is it stock.. can these trucks make better mpg? if I do a cai and exhaust am I going to be putting the hybrids to shame?! ( kidding-- would be nice though! )
Pretty normal for me, but not at that speed. Between 45-55 I get 23-24, 55-65 I get 21-22, 65-75 I end up with 17-19 depending on wind direction and speed. Head winds suck.
But mostly, i don't pay attn to the MPG gauge. I am towing half the time and the other half, well...I just dont care cause I enjoy my Ram so much.
For a 2 wheel drive that seems about normal. If you are going by the Evic numbers you will find that that is a little high compared to hand calculating.
I found my Evic to be about .6 miles higher than hand calculation. That being said, straight Freeway driving (not LA freeways), with ideal conditions, no wind, mostly flat, 2 people and about 500 pounds in the bed I can get 20.1 mpg at about 72mph and 21mpg at 63 mph. This is with mild acceleration and keeping it in Fuel Saver (Eco mode) as much as possible. I don't use cruise control when doing this, I find it gets less if I use it. Mix is about 17-18 mpg and mostly city driving 12-14. To many traffic lights and to much idle time waiting for them to change.
Everyones driving habits are different and this makes a big difference in mpg claims.
My truck is a CC, 4x4, 3.55 rear, Hemi, 2009.
That seems above average, for my 4.7l I am lucky to get 20mpg. But then again mine is a 4x4. also the combination of a tuner, exhaust and drop in cold air intake (with box tube and filter) would increase it by ~1-2 mpg.
The trick is learning how to keep mds engaged. It's easy to hear in my 05 hemi RT Magnum with Borla exhaust. The exhaust goes from a low rumble to a almost silent whoosh when it hits 4 cyl mode. I wish my 05 Ram had it, but driving my friends 06 4x4QC Laramie, you have to really pay attention to hear it kick in. On a long trip, never exceeding 65 mph, his Laramie averaged almost 23 mpg. My non mds 05 probably would have gotten 18-19 babying like that without mds. So yes, you can get great mileage with a hemi, however, you will be bored as hell doing it.
I don't get great millage but then again I am not bored like hell driving it.
That's great mileage!! I managed ~20 going on a 200 mi round trip to the city and back but man that was boring!!
But I'm one of the people that bitch about the hemi's mileage though, but every time you see my truck you hear me first. Haha.
Seems a little above average for that speed.
imho, mods don't do much for mpg. better hand calc that mpg, sounds a bit high at that speed.
I've been getting only around 14-15mpg at any speed. I use to get pretty good mileage. Truck has 80k on it. Getting ready for a long trip and would love to have better mileage. Any advise? Things to change at that mileage?
Really appreciate it. Thanks,

i use the same battery but 24 hours max.... like with stock battery. and i also re-calibrate battery few times. i think this is weird :S
@lsalamun what rom do u use?
Sorry about the stuqid question. If I were to use those High Capacity battery EP500, would it damage the X8 hardware? it is above it's given normal ampere tho~
Simple or definite answer will do, I'd like an definite answer
i have original battery and i have it almost 3 days, but every day i use wi-fi, calls, SMS and play games..
Their is a bigger better longer lasting battery available for the x8 and at 2600mhz look's like it will improve battery life by atleast a few day's. these are most likely readily available on ebay for around £75-£85 or around $100-$125
these look very good for people on here who have battery trouble's.
Just thought id let you all know about these ! ! !
Much better battery !

Visit Yorktown and discover a place known for both its waterfront charm and its famous battles. Stroll through the boutique shops and grab a delicious bite to eat at one of the restaurants at Historic Yorktown's Riverwalk Landing; then wander along the York River's sandy beach. As you walk up the hill toward Main Street's art galleries and antique shops—pausing to admire the town's 18th century architecture— it may be hard to imagine that fierce fighting ever took place nearby.
But Yorktown was critical in both the Revolutionary War and the Civil War. At Yorktown Battlefield, part of the National Park Service's Colonial National Historical Park, you can see where George Washington secured America's independence in 1781. The Yorktown Victory Monument is here, as well as a Civil War-era National Cemetery. Nearby at the Yorktown Victory Center living history museum, you can experience the American Revolution first-hand through film extensive galleries and re-creations of a 1780's farm and a Continental Army encampment. Costumed historical interpreters may even recruit you to join a cannon crew or help tend the crops.
Visitors also enjoy strolling the quaint streets and riding the free trolley. The sounds and precision marching of The Fifes and Drums of York Town set the stage with patriotic music complementing the other historical attractions. Patriot Tours & Provisions offer guided Segway PT tour through historic Yorktown or rent a bicycle for a self-guided tour. Kites, beach provisions, snacks and various sundries are available.
Yorktown Battlefield - Winning America's Independence
Discover what it took for the United States to be independent as you explore the site of the last major battle of the Revolutionary War. Here at Yorktown, in the fall of 1781, General George Washington, with allied American and French forces, besieged General Charles Lord Cornwallis's British army. On October 19, Cornwallis surrendered, effectively ending the war and ensuring independence.
Lamb's Artillery Firing Demonstration
American and French artillery was a key element that led to Allied victory at Yorktown in 1781. Utilizing siege cannon, seasoned American gunners and professional French artillerists fired over 15,000 rounds into British lines during the nine day bombardment. Their effectiveness, accuracy and destructiveness helped convince Britain's Lord Cornwallis to surrender.
One of the American artillery units at Yorktown was the Second Regiment of the Continental Artillery, commanded by Colonel John Lamb. Today, a volunteer living history gun crew, representing Colonel Lamb's artillery regiment, conducts periodic firing demonstrations with a reproduction 18-pounder siege gun, commemorating the merit and distinction which Lamb's artillery displayed during the siege of Yorktown.
Yorktown National Cemetery
The Yorktown National Cemetery was officially established in 1866, however interment of Civil War soldiers began during Federal occupation in 1862.
This site was selected in 1866 as a good cemetery location in the general vicinity of various Civil War battlefields and scenes of action related particularly to the Peninsula Campaign of 1862 when General George B. McClellan was moving toward Richmond, the Confederate capital. The cemetery lay adjacent to the spot on the the 1781 Battlefield where the British had surrendered to General Washington.
There are 1,596 marked graves in the cemetery. Of the total of 2,204 burials, 747 are of known persons and 1,436 unknown. Those buried here were for the most part Union Army soldiers, although 10 Confederate soldiers and three wives are also identified.
Riverwalk Landing
located along the York River, Riverwalk Landing offers a collection of retail shops and dining with a water view along the pedestrian walkway. Waterfront restaurants offer seafood and other fine cuisine with a relaxing view of the York River. Or visitors can grab an ice cream cone and stroll by the river or sit on the beach.
Riverwalk Restaurant
Overlooking the scenic York River, the restaurant's casual setting lends itself to a relaxed dining experience: be it in the large windows looking out to summertime activities on the water or the stone fireplace burning in the cooler seasons.
The Watermen's Museum
Tells the story of Virginia's working watermen and women. For generations, these watermen have earned their living harvesting the rivers and tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay for its abundant seafood year round.
Yorktown Sailing Charters
Set Sail for Adventure aboard the 105' Schooner Alliance! You will return to the by-gone days of old sailing ships. The knowledgeable crew will harmonize past with present as you sail down the York River past the battlefield where our country won its independence and view the Victory Monument. You may see dolphins or osprey, working watermen, or perhaps cruise past a naval warship or submarine! You can lend a hand at setting sail, enjoy a beverage or snack from the ships' galley, or just listen to the sound of the wind as we glide along. The Schooner Serenity is also offering pirate cruises. Four centuries ago Captain John Smith explored these waters around Yorktown aboard a small sailing vessel while trading with the Powhatan Indians. Join him in spirit when you set sail aboard the Alliance.
Yorktown Victory Center
Next to the battlefield where allied American and French forces won the decisive battle of the American Revolution in 1781, the Yorktown Victory Center chronicles the entire Revolutionary period, from colonial unrest to the formation of the new nation. At this museum of the American Revolution, indoor exhibition galleries portray the Declaration of Independence as a revolutionary document that attracted international attention, recount the war's impact on 10 ordinary men and women who left a record of their experiences, highlight the roles of different nationalities at the Siege of Yorktown, and explore the story of the Betsy and other British ships lost in the York River during the siege. Exhibits also describe how people from many different cultures shaped a new society and the development of a new government with the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Outdoors, visitors can explore a re-created Continental Army encampment, where historical interpreters describe and depict daily life of American soldiers at the end of the war. A re-created 1780s farm, complete with a house, kitchen, tobacco barn, crop fields, and herb and vegetable garden, shows how many Americans lived during the Revolutionary era. Work is now under way on a new facility, new exhibition galleries and enhanced outdoor interpretive areas. The Yorktown Victory Center will remain open to visitors throughout construction. When the project is complete in late 2016, the site will be known as the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown. Travel back in time to the American Revolution at a re-created Continental Army encampment at the Yorktown Victory Center.

Need Some Knowledge
I've been doing some research, but I need to get back to doing some actual work...at work.
I'm going to be building a new system with the Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H with my current GTX 280. I'm debating on whether I should use one of my 8800GTX's as a Physx card.
Looking at the motherboard manual, the first PCI-E slot runs at 16x while the second PCI-E slot runs at 8x. Now, if I install the 280 in the first and the 8800gtx in the second, they both share the bandwidth effectively putting both at x8.
The question is would this have any adverse effect on the performance of the GTX 280 rather than helping the system?
Re: Need Some Knowledge
PCI-e 2.0 x16 is roughly equivalent to PCI-e 1.0 x32.
PCI-e 2.0 x8 is roughly equivalent to PCI-e 1.0 x16
Now, the 280 is a PCI-e 2.0 part. The 8800GTX is a PCI-e 1.0 part.
Thus... you wont notice anything. :p In short, it'll work just wonderfully. :)
Re: Need Some Knowledge
Thanks. That makes sense.

The Walking Dead
Will Michonne Have a Bigger Role in The Walking Dead Season 5's Second Half?
'Cause Michonne (Danai Gurira) could hardly have a smaller role in the first half of The Walking Dead Season 5 and still be deemed a main character. That's not OK. Don't bench the katana queen.
The cast of Season 5 is so big right now that even when most of them are in the same space, the focus has only been on a few lucky characters. Even Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) has to take the backseat sometimes, although he's the show's main character so when he's around, he's in focus. Carol, Beth, Daryl, Abraham, Eugene, Sasha, Bob, Tyreese, Gareth, Gabriel, Noah and maybe even Tara have had some showcase moments in the first half.
Glenn, Maggie and Carl haven't had big roles, but they haven't been kept as much in the background as Michonne. She was even put on baby Judith duty during the hospital rescue mission, which is a shame because she may have had Rick's back when he suggested his hospital plan.
E! News also noticed Michonne's absence, so they asked executive producer Gale Anne Hurd, "Will we see characters, like Michonne, who've been a little bit more in the background this season come more into the spotlight [in the second half]?" Gale answered, "Oh, yeah. Oh, yes. The great thing in having 16 episodes is that we really do have an opportunity to catch up with each of our cast members."
The "Oh, yeah. Oh, yes" after specifically being asked about Michonne has us hopeful. The first half of Season 5 ends this Sunday, November 30 with Episode 8 and we know Michonne will have a role, even if it's not clear how big. The second batch of eight episodes starts on February 8, 2015.
Are you hopeful to see more of Michonne later in the season? Do you think they may even give us some Richonne moments?

But what if he doesn't turn out to be "cool?"
"I don't care, as long as he's nice to his mother," said Pollack. "I was as dorky a kid as I could have possibly been. I wasn't good at sports. I didn't even listen to music. I listened to news radio all day. In some ways, it's like I want for my kid what I didn't have for myself. That's what it comes down to."
Like most families, the Pollacks spend a lot of time going to the park. Pollack's wife, Regina, says they're not different parents, just symbols of a new generation that's evolved from the days of "Leave It to Beaver" and "The Brady Bunch," to a new style of parenting.
"I think we're just regular parents," she said. "I just think the aesthetics maybe are a little different, you know, they reflect our generation. And I think our interest in music and things like that. I mean every generation's had that. It's just the particulars of our generation that make it this sort of Gen-X parenting or whatever, or hipster parenting."
One absolutely critical ingredient, she says, is avoiding the corporate ideal of an American toddler.
"Trying to not let your kid be completely brainwashed by all the big corporate stuff that's fed to them," she said. "And it's in everything. It's in the cups that you choose for them, the plates that they eat off of, the little juice boxes -- everything has those characters marketed on it."
The ultimate critic, though, may be the 4-year-old who turned Pollack into "Alternadad." What does Elijah Pollack think about the book that describes him this way:
"It was like we'd taken on a new roommate, except he didn't have to pay rent. He hogged the TV with his crappy shows and we had to wipe his butt at least three times a day. On the plus side, he could sing the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" on cue and was very soft and cuddly."
"I mostly like the pictures," Elijah said.
More importantly, Elijah also thinks his father is "cool."
"You know, let's ask him in a few years," said Pollack, " but I'm glad we've gotten this far. He's very cool, in my eyes. So it's mutual."

PUB.lication 03
Music for the past, present and future: The Eurodance Issue: a glorious mainstream rave-up through European dance music of the early 90s. With the 100% Dance Now Superhits Megamix playlist, the Euro to the Core fashion shoot, what I learnt about sex from Eurodance plus Scooter's cool factor, 2 Unlimited, Haddaway, Whigfield, Dr Alban, Snap! and Ace of Base.
music for the past, present and Future 03 EDITORIAL: I've been excited about this issue right from the start, when PUB.lication was just a mere twinkle in the metaphorical milkman's eye. We're not your average fanzine, but if any of our issues fall into that category, it's this one. Having grown up in Germany, the epicentre of the Eurodance scene, my 11-year-old self listened to those Haddaway, Ace of Base, 2 Unlimited and Cappella cassettes until my chunky, black Sony Walkman ate them alive. I devoured Bravo or Popcorn, and sometimes Pop Rocky [a substandard, teenie-bopper music mag in comparison, especially to Bravo]. I owe almost all my sex education [but not quite, as you will see] to Bravo's Dr Sommer Team and those self-taken naked pics of random teenagers who we all pretended not to read. Sadly that era of my life was quickly relegated to a dusty, forgotten shelf in favour of cooler, teenage pastimes. But two summers ago, this issue's guest editor, Maria [Dutch and living in Switzerland and then Germany when Eurodance hit, so no chance of escape] and I discovered some old compilations from around `94-95 that unleashed a tidal wave of nostalgia and new-found love. Finally letting our previously stunted passion free, we've pulled out all the stops with not only our first fashion shoot but also an amazing playlist and a selection of classic albums. And just to be clear: Eurotrash is a dirty word in PUB's vocabulary. Editor in Chief: Guest Editor: Art Director: Web Editor: Contributors: Photography: Illustrators: Contact: Francesca Ronai Maria Sch�nfeld Farouk Agoro Raymond Okoi-Obuli Tunde Olurin Akinola Davies Jr Tom Donohue Aurore Carincotte Malak Mebkhout Laure Salgon firstname.lastname@example.com www.myspace.com/pub_lication www.pub-lication.com 100% Dance Now Superhits Megamix the ultimate eurodance playlist 4 6 8 10 11 14 The Pop Curriculum Euro to the Core what i learnt about sex from eurodance the best of eurodance fashion This Page Belongs To... tom on scooter's cool factor Recorded Music Ego eurodance albums 2 unlimited/whigfield/dr alban/haddaway/snap! crack stevens on ace of base 3 Compilations define all sub-genres of dance music and Eurodance is no exception. So to kick off this issue, we've made our official PUBapproved playlist. A round-up of all the individual songs that haven't been included in the following features or album reviews. Giving birth will probably prove less agonising than this has been. Check it out on: www.youtube.com/PUBlicationTheZine. DJ Bobo � There Is A Party What better way to kick off the list. "This is a party song that makes the party going on" and it's safe to say that this applies to all the following tunes. Technotronic � Pump Up The Jam The daddy who spawned the whole scene with this classic. Thank you Belgium. Maxx � No More (I Can't Stand It) Super techno and white boys rapping in Jamaican patois. Oh yeah. Scatman John - Scatman Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Armstrong, whatever! This is the true master of scat. Slam - U Got 2 Know Eurodance had txt speak long before mobile phones were in every tween's school satchel. [Dear readers, you are so lucky that this made the list. I've been humming this tune to every passing Eurokid, most of them could join in the catchy chorus but no one knew who it was by. But fate + YouTube = best song on list.] 2 Brothers On The 4th Floor � Never Alone Play this to anyone from Holland [or maybe just Maria] and see the true meaning of patriotism. The best anti-racism song since Ebony and Ivory. Fact. Sir Prize � Declaration (Dipdipda!) My first CD single. Go to iTunes now. It's the best 79p you'll ever spend. The Bucketheads � The Bomb! These sounds fall into (and blow) my mi-ei-e-ind. T-Spoon - Where R U Now? Probably better known for Sex On The Beach but this is far superior. Urban Cookie Collective � The Key, The Secret Seriously `big in Germany', this UK act jumped headfirst into the Euro-throng. Magic Affair � Omen III An interracial rapper/singer Eurodance duo no way! Rednex � Cotton Eyed Joe Take a short raving break and get to squaredancing. If you don't know this, you are living in a black hole. Corona � Rhythm Of The Night This, and impressive head of extra-long braids and her other big hit Baby, Baby makes Corona the official Italo-eurodance queen. Bobby Brown � Two Can Play That Game What is Bobby "Crack is Wack" Brown doing on a Eurodance playlist? Well have you heard this lately? If he wasn't trying to get a slice of the Euro-pie, how else do you explain it? Robin S. � Show Me Love An undisputed anthem that happily crosses over many a genre. Culture Beat � Mr Vain There would've been a riot if this song hadn't made it on here. Germany: douze points. Reel 2 Reel - I Like To Move It Produced by the now legendary Erick Morillo, Eurodancers ate this song for breakfast. 4 Black Box � Everybody, Everybody We're going against the grain by choosing this over Ride On Time but we're so busy jamming out to this one that we don't care. La Bouche � Be My Lover Like Culture Beat's Mr Vain, we could be lynched if we left out this tune. Dr Alban - Let The Beat Go On You are much mistaken if you thought the Doctor would rest on his Sing Hallelujah laurels. Adeva � Warning PUB has so much love for this woman that even though she barely makes the genre, we had to include her. 2 Unlimited � Do What's Good For Me These lovelies could've ruled this playlist but we had to be selective. Give it on, Give it in, If this doesn't make you want to blow into your Give it out! rave whistle of appreciation, then nothing will. Souladelic - I Want Your Body Cappella - Move It Up Captain Hollywood Project � More and More Captain H makes the list purely for rocking Why did I ever let this cassette out of my sight? the black man mullet way before Kanye West This take on the classic rapper/singer format made it `fashion'. proves why Italians Do It Better. Real McCoy � Another Night Fun Factory - I Wanna Be With You Sshhh I have a confession to make: I hate this Any band that features a German rapper called song but the German in me can't do without it. Olaf is genius. More genius than E=mc�. You Masterboy - Feel The Heat Of The Night know it and I know it. If you haven't already turned into a HI-NRGiser RMB � Experience bunny at this point in the list, you will now. Let's turn those BPMs up for a minute. Another single that I proudly owned on CD and another Ice MC ft. Alexia - It's A Rainy Day Ian Campbell aka ICE MC aka the Dreadatour. point for Germany. How do you go from Nottingham to an Italian Livin' Joy � Dreamer superstar Eurodance rapper? There's a large possibility that you don't have any ears if you can listen to this song without 2 Raff - Don't Stop The Music Apart from one, all the comments for this video dancing. on YouTube are in every European language Technohead � I Wanna Be A Hippy apart from English. That's like an official stamp In `95, England said suck on this Holland and slam dunked some Gabber-pop on their asses. of approval. The video for this should be in everyone's You- Twenty 4 Seven - I Can't Stand It This is a Dutch hip-house corker but it was all Tube favourites. The Nightcrawlers � Push The Feeling On downhill from here on. Never ones to be left behind, Scotland also wanted in. Nightcrawlers must have set the standard so high that they scared all the other possible Scottish Eurodance acts off. Crystal Waters � Making Happy Congratulations: the end of the list. Moan about this not being Gypsy Woman and I'll make you listen to Technohead on double the speed. FR 35 Safe sex, promiscuity, inadequate manhood, what I learnt about sex from listening to eurodance Boom Boom Boom single as a birthday present. For those of you unfamiliar with this euroapproved American rap duo's lyrics, I quote: `Girl your booty is so round, I just wanna lay you down, Let me take you from behind, I won't cum until it's time, But if I cannot sleep with you, Maybe I could have a taste, Put your niney on my tongue, And your booty on my face'. Unless you've just turned the page in horror and disgust, I know what you're thinking: `You were young, you probably had no idea what they were talking about'. Actually, I distinctly remember laughing about it with my sister because (a) my sweet male love interest probably had no clue that he had just given me the most overtly suggestive song in the charts and (b) all this sexy talk was pretty far-fetched considering we never even kissed. Around this time, another one of my fave tunes booty calls, the importance of foreplay; this is just a shortlist of the numerous sex-related topics that Eurodance gleefully covered in their inimitable hi-NRG style. Perhaps I could look back on my childhood musical preferences like an indignant parent trying to protect my own innocent 11-year-old ears but maybe I'm all the better for it. It's not like I wasn't already pouring over the sex-ed pages of Bravo, Germany's Smash Hits equivalent. Their Dr Sommer Team [or Dr Summer Team, if you will] never shied away from `risqu�' subjects like the onslaught of puberty, masturbation or `heavy petting' [browsing through their current website, I'm pleased to see that's still a term they're happily appropriating]. I remember one of my first, pre-pubescent boyfriends buying me the The Outhere Brothers' 6 feature: the pop curriculum came courtesy of 20 Fingers ft Gillette. A regular on our monthly school disco playlist, my girlfriends and I strutted around the dancefloor to Short Dick Man waving our diminutive thumb/ pointing finger combination, copied directly from the single's cover art in the faces of our unsuspecting male peers. It didn't matter that the radio-friendly version promoted [or demoted] the Short Short Man, our unison shouts of `dick' drowned out any PG-rated attempts at disguise. As another US act that Eurodance lovingly embraced, 20 Fingers enlisted a series of singers to front their dirty house pop. Gillette was followed by Roula, who with Lick It, was on a female-entitlement mission with the gloriously So to paraphrase: we were young and we were free, but we were also extremely underage to be engaging in any of Sebastian's free-for-all love-in. Plus it was hard to take him seriously, with his comical, heavy German accent and statements such as: `I like your body, not so much I like your mind'. Does he like my body but not my mind? Or is it the other way round? I'm so confused. But really this brings us to the MacDaddy of Eurodance sex-ed: E-Rotic. By the time they blew up, I was slowly losing faith in the Eurodance movement but these guys were unavoidable. They took what Roula started and ran a whole marathon with it, pushing the limits of sordid nursery rhymes to extremes. Fritz Love My Titz, Fred Come to Bed, `Oh Willy use a billy, don't be silly' from the condom-branded song Willy Use A Billy...Boy that even went as far as `scilly willy, a billy for your thrilly toy'. And no `scilly', is not a spelling mistake. But my all time favourite has to be Max Don't catchy slogan: `You've got to lick it before we kick it'. Now I'll be honest with you, at the time, unless it was as obvious as `niney on my tongue', sexual innuendo regarding `getting head' went straight over my clueless cranium, even with poetic lyrics like `give my cat a kiss and make it purr so we can do this right' and the subtle `meow' that followed it. But its nursery rhyming skills surely stuck with me until the light bulb of naivety went out, and the new, sexually on-theball one went on. At this time, a new gender-bending act was on the scene and for once a fully-fledged European one. Germany's Sin With Sebastian didn't subscribe to innuendo; donning a pair of angel wings, multi-coloured hair and severe amounts of guy-liner his demands were simple and upfront: Shut Up and Sleep With Me. Have Sex With Your Ex because [can you guess?] `it will make your life complex'. Now if that isn't the best piece of relationship advice ever, then tell me what is? In fact, I've just seen my neighbour leave the house with his exboyfriend. The last time they were together, the police had to be called to break up the fight. He obviously hasn't listened to E-Rotic enough. And there you have it. Not even Dr Alban could resist adding his own two-penny's worth with Roll Down Di Rubber Man [Roll it down, safe sex = safe life]. But whether it was AIDs-aware or overt eroti-pop, the Eurodance invasion into my tween music collection all seems quite sensible in comparison to its UK counterpart The Shamen and their secret, drug-touting messages disguised as Ebeneezer Goode . But considering how baffled I was by Roula, I probably wouldn't have clocked those either. FR 37 photography: aurore carincotte / hair & make-up: charlotte fujimura 8 39 No 10 word has endured in the ever-shifting panoply of youth slang like the word `cool'. It has seen off challenges over the years from such vernacular titans as `rad', `wicked', `brill' and `sweet' to name but a few. Perhaps the word `cool' is itself actually cool and no other word will ever be able to knock it of its shiny self-perpetuating pedestal. What exactly cool describes is eternally difficult to pin down: it is an evasive quality which can change in a split second and always remains tantalisingly out of reach. Puffy lace ruffs were cool in the 17th century, certainly aren't cool now but could be cool again in a year; you and I as mere mortals just don't know. What is infinitely easier to define however is what is `not cool', in a sort of `Dude you took a dump on my lawn last night...that was not cool' kind of way. This rambling diversion brings me to Scooter. Last time I tried to put Scooter on at a house party I was told in no uncertain terms that it was not cool. `But what about how they changed the face of dance music in the 90s?' I asked. Receiving no reply, I pushed harder `What about how Scooter put techno music on the mainstream map?' `Who are you and who invited you to this party?' was the response. At this point I realised the jig was up, so I raided some beers from the fridge and made good my escape, but not before vowing to improve Scooter's image amongst England's young folk. So here goes: Overcoming the potentially debilitating problems of having a lead singer with a face only a German mother could love and lyrics that appear to have been written by a Bavarian baby using an internet translator, Scooter have defied the odds to achieve worldwide success. Their tale of world domination began in `94 when techno was the past-time of only a few male social outcasts in ankle-length leather jackets. Taking the cheesy euphoric Eurodance scene head on, they have become the undeniable kings of hard-dance, remixing and shouting their way to 20 Top Ten hits. What Scooter has done perhaps most effectively is stay fresh. They managed to move chameleon-like through the endless sub-genres of dance music, from happy-hardcore, to techno to jumpstyle to an unexpected remix with Status Quo [what?]. We can only guess how Scooter will delight us next. I recommend that you peroxide your hair, put on a t-shirt with an LCD light display and listen to their entire back catalogue in one sitting. Then and only then can you tell me Scooter are not cool. TD this month's eurodance album of choice: No Limits [1993] Possibly because through them the producers in the driving seat were fulfilling their stud-encrusted pleather fantasies but there was a bottomless pit full of female singer/black rapper duos in the heydays of Eurodance. It was the quintessential act: Cappella, La Bouche, Culture Beat, TSpoon, Magic Affair, E-Rotic, Twenty 4 Seven, Pharao...this might be the longest list in the history of lists. But no one rocked this format better than Ray and Anita of 2 Unlimited. Never pandering to the summer hits crowd with reggae-tinged jingle pop and a few easy-to-follow dance moves; they were technoheads right down the line. With Belgium producers John Paul De Coster and Phil Wilde behind them, this Dutch twosome and their ridiculous good looks presented rave as drug-free and child-friendly to the readers of Smash Hits and their European equivalents. And like the Never Mind the Bollocks of the punk generation, 2 Unlimited's second release "Techno-making, no mistaking, never fakin', always breaking it down, UH to a party" - Ray Slijngaard (Let My Beat Control Your Body) No Limits! is undoubtedly one of the definitive albums of it's era. Kicking off with the hits [no no, no no no no, no no no no, no no there's] No Limit and Tribal Dance you might think they'd powered out. And certainly whoever owned the cassette version of the album I managed to get my hands on seemed to think so, as those first tracks are distinctly woozy from stretched tape and repeated play. But once Mysterious hits, Ray announces `it's time to make the floor burn' and so they light their BPMs on fire and throw them into the masses like a Hi-NRG Molotov cocktail. You are not allowed to take a break, and god forbid, you sit down. The harder the beats the more soothing Anita's voice is and once you throw in Ray's oft-banal but brilliant rapping, it's pure Eurodance genius. Faces, The Power Age, Throw the Groove Down, R.U.OK. all putting in a combined effort to work your heart rate into a frenzy. But once Let The Beat Control Your Body drops, pushing out those last droplets technojuice, you know you're over the hump and Invite Me To Trance can lull you back down. Happy days. FR 31 1 recorded music: eurodance albums 12 Whigfield [1995] To many people Whigfield's Saturday Night is the quintessential anthem of the early 90s [the Macarena wasn't around until a year later so Whigfield takes the crown]. Listening to her self-titled album, released in `95, it would seem that it could also take the crown for embodying everything that the 90's Euro-pop music scene was about. Every style of song is represented in this comprehensive album that graced the bedroom of so many an awkward, velvet choker-wearing teenage girl. Saturday Night, Sexy Eyes and Think of You are all distinctively Whigfield-esque [they are also her biggest hits] but when you have a listen through the rest of the songs, it's like a sm�rg�sbord of Euro-pop magic. The `I-was-waiting-for-the-Gregorian-chanting' ballad Don't Walk Away takes a leaf right out of Enigma's Return to Innocence, Big Time falls straight onto the faux-synth reggae pile alongside Mr President's Coco Jambo, Out of Sight is a masterful 20 Fingers/Livin' Joy mash-up and I Want to Love is a straight up Eurodance classic. So if you're asking whether Whigfield is a good album, you're basically asking if European pop music in the 90s was good. To which I say: it is freaking great. MS The Album [1993] Being Dutch myself, I had nothing but high hopes for Haddaway when I was asked to review his album. Whilst What is Love and Life never fail to make me feel like donning some kind of lycra get-up and raving with the best of them, I am sorry to say that the rest of the album left me feeling sad that the 90s were `my decade'. Haddaway did one thing right in the 90s: pumping house tunes. So why did some over excitable producer in a backwards Kangol hat decide that abysmal tracks such as I Miss You and Mama's House should make the cut? Thankfully the house tunes still outnumber the weird ballads, Come Back and Rock My Heart just about bridge the gaps that the other songs leave. Haddaway The Album may not have been the strongest of offering to come out of the 90s but I think a nice guy with a nice message. And besides, my Wikipedia sources tell me that he studied `North American History from the First Mongolian Immigrants to Amerigo Vespucci in the Fifteenth Century' at George Washington University in Washington DC so had all else failed, he at least had an education to fall back on. And by the way, he's only half Dutch. MS One Love [1992] Dr Alban is the king of the scene, the numero uno Eurodance rapper. So much so that he didn't even need the obligatory female sidekick. He just marched out in his leather waistcoat and those signature dreads sprouting from his head like the plumage of a pineapple and told everyone It's My Life. And like a true Naija man [Sweden can claim as much they like but Nigeria is well and truly in the house] he told everyone to `Stop bugging me, stop bothering me, stop forcing me, stop fighting me, stop yelling me'. On his debut he said Hello Afrika but by the time One Love kicked in, Europe was all ears. After the waistcoat, there was an awesome selection of pvc all-in-ones most notably in electric blue. He was `jammin' on the party station' with Sing Hallelujah and seventeen years later we've still got it on heavy rotation. So is Cash Money with its gritty beats and wailing synth. A side salad of music history goes with our dancefloor main on Reggae Gone Ragga and keeping it down with the motherland, tracks like Mata Oh Aeh and Omwerembwelke meld 90s club beats with Igbo rhymes and African rhythms. One love, one blue jumpsuit and one Euro-classic. FR The Madman's Return [1992] Sweet Germany: the reigning champions in the sheer amount of acts they churned out during this era, with `quality over quantity' not necessarily being a slogan they aspired to. But there is no doubting the credentials of Snap!: essentially the brainchild of two German producers who went by the aliases Benito Benites and John Virgo Garrett III [their real names might've had a few more umlauts than the international scene could handle]. Madman's Return followed their debut, World Power that had already hit home with the single, The Power. Fronted by American ex-pats, rapper Turbo D and a series of interchanging female singers, they veered more towards vocal house similar in style to Baltimore's Basement Boys' productions. Don't Be Shy and Colour of Love are the perfect example of this, with laidback jazzy beats and soulful voices complementing Turbo's steady club rap. With Money, they laced these over something a little bit more electronic [Germany's forte]. Exterminate kept it funky whilst stepping up the techno vibes but the track that really cemented them in the encyclopaedia of Eurodance has to be Rhythm is a Dancer, an undeniable anthem. FR 3 3 13 ego: gurngurngurn.com's crack stevens opens his sordid ears to ace of base Where to begin talking about the Ace of Base Happy Nation album? As a gangster rap enthusiast I often pretend to have no idea what Eurodance is but slap on some Scatman John or Ace of Base and I'm caught with my pants down like an infant on a magical potty throne. Many of the things I love about the Base can be found within the deep lyrics of their 1993 smash hit All That She Wants, the platinum amassing single. A lonely girl who wants another baby: therein lies the clue! Obviously not frigid, meaning a good night will ensue, just simply explain to her you're not into mass-producing infants from the get-go and hopefully she'll understand. Right? Ace of Base manages to manipulate a broad range of sounds into many a catchy Eurodance tune. There's the hard-hitting, electro-esque Voulez Vous Dancer, the more menacing dancehall vibes of All That.., shit there's even a banghra version of that! Fuck me if there was anything these Swedish appropriators wouldn't experiment with. I bet Lykke Li is a big fan; I say that because my ignorant ass knows of no other Swedish acts that could stimulate `boner'! AoB play seductive, just take a brief gander at their song titles: Waiting for Magic: enough said about that one. Dimensions of Depth: that's just pure filth. Fashion Party: we all know what happens at those and Young and Proud: that one is not so dirty but when I was younger there was a lot of masturbation which I'm proud of. 14 If you've read my previous [and future] reviews, you'll know I like sexy music and that's exactly what AoB represented in their era. And because they're old now, less attractive and have enough money that they don't need any of mine, I'm currently freeloading their album. Not many Eurodance pioneers made it through the 90s, it's not as if their species became extinct, it's just that gangster rap went mainstream and all those Euro-kids [and much of all kids] wanted to be hardcore. And not in a techno way. CS Malakoptigato : email@example.com / Lauresalgosse : email@example.com C'est Bombastick 2 Cool 4 U U anna weeks: www.myspace.com/anna_traume 15 3

Avoid Gout: Best and Worst Foods and Meds
Avoiding your next gout attack might depend on what you put in your mouth. That's because many of the foods you eat and vitamins and medicines you take could be gout triggers. Substituting other foods might help you fend off gout attacks.
Gout is caused by a build up of uric acid crystals around the joints. Uric acid is an enzyme our body releases to digest purines and purines are compounds that are present in most foods. Some foods, including specific meats and seafoods, have a high-purine content. These are the ones you want to avoid altogether. Foods with a moderate-purine content, like most fish, meats, poultry, and some beans, can be consumed in small portions. Low-purine foods like nuts, most fresh fruits and veggies and grains are recommended as best choices for people with gout.
Can You Avoid Purines Altogether?
No, but by choosing your diet carefully, you can help your body metabolize the purines you do consume efficiently.
Vitamins, Supplement, and Medications to Avoid
Niacin (vitamin B3) can elevate uric acid levels in the body. Since most people consume enough niacin in the foods they eat, people with gout don't need to consume extra in their vitamin supplements.
Certain medications, including specific blood pressure medications, aspirin and drugs used to prevent organ transplant rejection may also increase uric acid production. Don't try to adjust or avoid these medications on your own. Only your physician knows which medications and dosages are safe for you. Instead of avoiding these medications, your doctor might prescribe other medications to treat hyperuricemia, the metabolic condition that causes too much uric acid to be released in the bloodstream.
Alcohol and saturated fats interfere with your body's ability to get rid of uric acid. Avoiding or limiting both alcohol and saturated fats is your best choice. High-fructose corn syrup, which is present in countless processed foods, increases uric acid production. Read labels and avoid foods that list high-fructose corn syrup in the ingredients.
What Can You Eat?
With the exception of organ meats (liver, heart, spleen, sweetbreads, etc.), herring, sardines, anchovies, and mackerel, most other meats and fish can be consumed in small portions, but limit your intake to no more than four to six ounces per day. Fill up on low-purine foods like fruits, veggies, nuts, grains, and low-fat dairy products.
Simply put, a gout prevention diet looks a lot like the heart healthy, low-fat, complex carbohydrate, lean protein diet that's recommended for every body. Keep in mind, however, that while diet is an important component in preventing gout, it's just one part of a gout prevention and treatment plan. Your doctor will have specific advice about what to eat, avoid and take and what therapies and treatments are best for you.

Don't miss the bishops' palace!
Palazzo Vescovile was the palace where the princes bishops lived from 1250. It was home of the bishops until 1964.
The construction of this building begun in 960. It was enlarged and restored various times; especially in the 1700.
This palace has three stories built around a very large courtyard. It houses around 70 rooms. Here you can see the bishops' rooms, the imperial rooms, a church, a sacred art museum and a large collections of ancient cribs. There are lots of beautiful ancient stoves, paintings, furniture, porcelain and more.
The museum and the imperial and bishops' rooms with the church are open from march 15 to october 31. I think this is due to the cost of heating. I suppose. The palace is huge. The collection of cribs is open from december 1 to january 31.

Domplatz, dom, and sk. Michael kirche
The dom ( cathedral ) dominates old town Bressanone, but the spire of the older kirche ( church ) of sk. Michael is also visible from a great distance. Construction of sk. Michael kirche began about 1100 years ago. In stark contrast to the dom, the architecture of sk. Michael is strictly Romanesque and early Gothic. The multi toned tile roof is the only colorful part of the exterior.
The church interior is more interesting. The ceilings are completely covered by magnificent frescoes. The artists are not known to me. As with most of the ancient structures in this region, the craftsmanship is excellent. The altars are Gothic masterpieces.

History Part Two
You can find lots of old mural paintings in Bressanone/Brixen. Some very interesting ones in the arcades next to the cathedral, but also many on houses in the town.The earliest paintings are from the 14th century. Most of them have religious themes. Mx favourite one is the painting of a horse with an elephant's trunk.I don't know if the people in 15th century had never seen an elephant before and so imagined it must have been some kind of strange horse.
- Arts and Culture
There is a large swimming center in Bressanone/Brixen, in which you can swim, use the sauna, get wellness treatment. When I was there, their parking lot was so overcrowded on a normal weekday, one hour after opening time, that they needed assistants to direct the parking. I decided to do another hike instead. It seems to be very popular.
- Family Travel
There are good hiking trails, starting right in the center of the town. The tourist information has leaflets and information brochures about the length and difficulty of the trails. They start from easy hiking to more strenuous ones, but close to Bressanone/Brixen there is no real mountain climbing.I did some of the trails and enjoyed the great view.

Palace of prince bishops courtyard
The palace is located directly across the domplatz from the dom. The early Renaissance palace has a fascinating 3 story arcaded loggia. Many of the rooms are decorated with well preserved furnishings and artwork ranging from 300 to 600 years old.
During the winter months the ground floor houses a rare collection of about 100 carved nativity scenes. Many of the carvings date back to the Gothic era. The display is open daily from 1400 to 1700 hours, December through February.
Shown in the photo is part of beautifully landscaped courtyard and gardens of the palace. Admission to the garden is free of charge, and it is an excellent place to stroll and relax. The loggia shown in the background contain a series of interesting memorials. The WWI memorial shown on the Bressanone intro. page is the one on the left.

Bressanone / Brixen dom / duomo
Bressanone's dom ( cathedral ) is located at the domplatz ( duomo piazza ) in the very center of altstadt. As is typical of central European cathedrals, it is unbelievably large and took about 600 years to complete. Construction was started more than 900 years ago, and the twin campaniles ( bell towers ) were completed about 300 years ago. To appreciate the vast size of the dom, notice how small the woman in the photo looks in comparison.
The architecture of the cathedral is much more typical of Tirol than of the Trentino Alto Adige region. The architecture is a harmonious blend of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and neo classical. The octagonal upper sections and domed roofs of the campaniles and the " witches hat " capitals are a Tirolean trademarks.
The 13th. century cloisters with their extensive cycle of frescoes, are a self contained museum of Tyrolean Gothic art. The interior architecture is arched Gothic at its best. The Romanesque chapel of Sk. Johann is the original chapel. It's walls are completely covered with 13th. century frescoes.
The duomo is open much of the time but photography is not allowed.

Bressanone / Brixen city piazza / platz
The city of Bressanone / Brixen has one of the most fascinating and beautiful central squares on the continent. Shown in the center of the photo is the Gothic / Renaissance city hall. The brilliantly gilded copper roof is more interesting than the famous roof over Maximillian's balcony in nearby Innsbruck, but without the tourists. In Germany and Austria, a city hall is called a rathaus. Even though German is spoken almost exclusively in this part of Italy, a compromise was needed on the term for city or town halls. Therefore, it is called " Rathaus Municipo ". The two languages and cultures exist mainly in harmony throughout this most beautiful region of Italy. Tourists have an unfortunate phobia of Bressanone. They are seldom seen there.
The rook of a 13th. century Trentino Alto Adige fortress is visible behind the rathaus. The ancient architectural styles of Tirol and Trentino also exist in harmony in Bressanone. The floral landscaping in the center of the square adds the perfect touch to citta centro.

Aferer Geiseln (Dolomites)
This is a small and rather little visited area in the Geisler group but just east of itabove the Würzjoch is the popular Peitlerkofel/Sass Putia which is easily reached and offers a great view. I shall climb it in a few weeks when my sister will come to visit me.

- Mountain Climbing
The Plose
The Plose is a mountain southeast of Brixen. A road goes up to about 2000 m . From there several ski lifts open skiing opportunities up to the more than 2500 m high top. The highlight is the nice view of the Geisler mountains, the northernmost group of the Dolomites. There is also a road going along these mountains up to the Würzjoch and down to Campill and the Ladin speaking Val Badia.

Located in the centre of Bressanone, Acquarena is a complex that includes pools, sauna, turkish bath, and also a restaurant. It is very modern, well organized and clean.
I really enjoyed it !
Note that you can't enter the sauna dressed but you can use a towel. Most hotels offer free entrance to pools during the length of your stay. You have to pay a little extra if you want to use sauna and turkish bath that usually are not included in the free entrance.( I paid 5.20 euro ).
Maybe it's because I am used to Verona swimming pools... but I truly recommend it !

Why we really need telecom immunity:
1). It's our way of saying thank you, and 2)., More to the point: as Bush put it at last week's press conference, "The litigation process could lead to the disclosure of information about how we conduct surveillance." A grim prospect not for the telecom companies, but for the White House. Glenn Greenwald sums it up:
The telecom lawsuits are...the last hope for ever having this still-secret behavior subjected to the rule of law and enabling the American people to learn about what their Government did for years in illegally spying on them. That's why -- the only real reason -- the White House is so desperate for telecom amnesty.

The Ocean at the End of the Lane (Large Print / Paperback)
A middle-aged man returns to his childhood home and is drawn to the farm at the end of the road where, when he was seven, he encountered a most remarkable girl and her mother and grandmother. As he sits by the pond -behind the ramshackle old house, the unremembered past comes flooding back--a past too strange, too frightening, too dangerous to have happened to anyone, let alone a small boy.
A groundbreaking work as delicate as a butterfly's wing and as menacing as a knife in the dark, The Ocean at the End of the Lane is told with a rare understanding of all that makes us human, and shows the power of stories to reveal and shelter us from the darkness inside and out.
About the Author
Neil Gaiman is the author of many bestsellers for readers of all ages including "Stardust" (the basis for the blockbuster movie), "Fragile Things", "Anansi Boys", "Interworld", and "Coraline". He lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
