Mockingjay by Suzanne CollinsWednesday, January 26, 2011
I went into this book wondering what it was going to be like. I'd been told by several people that it isn't as good as the previous two. It is true that this book has a different feel for it and I didn't sink right into it like I did the first two. It's darker, harder and although death has been part of all three novels it seems like it is a frequent visitor in Mockingjay. I found that this one took me longer to read and at times it did lag a bit. However, I always say you know it's a good book when you cry. And I will tell you what, the last 50 pages had me bawling. This book isn't one that ends with a perfect happy ending. In fact, I'd venture to say that this book is far more realistic than a lot of young adult novels. These books aren't meant ot leave you with a sweet, happy feeling. They're meant to show you what happens with war and hunger and loss. And while I definitely didn't leave with a happy feeling, I did walk away thinking that I appreciated that the ending was realistic. In war people do die, families are torn apart, and those left behind are changed. And in Mockingjay that is what happens. I may have walked away sad but I definitely appreciate what Suzanne Collins did and I would strongly recommend these books to ANYONE. So get reading!

I did not like this book as much as the other 2, but I did still really enjoy it. I was saddened by some of the plot twists at the end, but like you said, it was realistic... Great review!!

Yes, I definitely left that book thinking. Although I do LOVE my happy endings I think it's refreshing to have some realism (vs Twilight's 'fakeness' - and I don't mean the vampires). There were several surprises for me at the end of Mockingjay simply because I'm so used to fairy tale endings. A very good read!

I find that sometimes with sequals.... you end up becoming dissapointed the further they go. Sometimes ... not all the time.

i loved all these books. I have to thank you again for recommending them. While it was harder to get into the last one, I really enjoyed. I had no idea how it was going to end which was truly refreshing. It was sad, but I liked the realism. I think it really showed that sometimes even our best choices have consequences.

Loved it. Not my all time favorite (the first one was my fave), but I liked it better than Catching Fire.
Definitely had a sad factor.

I didn't like it as much as the first 2 either but overall one of the best books I have read. I LOVED the series. I just read it early this month and am thinking of re-reading it already.

I totally cried reading Mockingjay. I was so shocked and confused during that scene near the end in the square with all the kids (you know the one I mean... I won't say anymore as I don't want to give anything away!)
I think one of the things that made me like this one less than the first two was the setting. I hated district 13, and how they were indoors and underground. I just had this sense of the artificial lighting and how awful it would be. Gave me an uneasy feeling the whole time.
I was satisfied with the end. It had a bit of happiness to it.
- January 27, 2011 at 12:05 PM
- littleone
Loved the whole series! (As in, completely ignored my boyfriend and cleaning to finish them)
Just got a Jen Lancaster book that I saw as a recommendation on your blog--can't wait to tuck into it now.
(The boyfriend will just have to made do)
Thank you!
- January 28, 2011 at 11:17 AM
- anna p of just me.
i liked the hunger games series.
although i thought mockingjay was a little anti-climatic, if that's how suzanne collins felt it should be written, then who am i to question it?
i'd recommend them too.
- January 29, 2011 at 3:24 PM
- yours truly dear
i was bawling too. and honestly i just didn't like this one. although i didn't have the same view as you at the end, as far as what the authors purpose was. in that sense i would say it's a job well done. i just hate it when books depress me like that... :/ i still love the first 2 though!

A long-range special from midfielder Matt Richards early in the second half carried the Shrews to the brink of promotion from npower League Two.
Adams said: "We played a full part in an exciting division two game. Both teams had chances. We came here with an attacking intent.
"We felt we could cause them a few problems and so it proved but their goalkeeper has had a good day - and I suppose in many ways our keeper had a good day as well.
"We learnt a few lessons from the game abandoned here a few weeks ago. We were lucky that we got another crack at them. They're a good side, worthy contenders for promotion and we'll miss them because it's a local derby, and we enjoy playing against them and the atmosphere that's created, both at Vale Park and here.
"But we wanted to have a go at them. We didn't just want to sit back and let them tickle our bellies. We had a go and I was proud of my players."

DuPree column: Cameron, K spell doom for Wolfpack yet again
DURHAM — Sooner or later, N.C. State will end Duke's streak against the Wolfpack at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
It was obvious early that Thursday night's game wasn't going to be the one, with the Blue Devils recording a 98-85 win. Not that they didn't make it interesting by shooting 65.5 percent from the floor in the second half.
It wasn't a good omen that Tyler Lewis, Wolfpack's starting point guard in place of the injured Lorenzo Brown, had N.C. State's first five points and had outscored C.J. Leslie (one point), Richard Howell (zip) and Scott Wood (five) through the 7:50 mark of the first half.
By then, Duke had stretched its lead to 37-19 on a driving dunk by Alex Murphy that drew the loudest roar of the first half from the Cameron crowd.
"Eww ... I was so excited," Duke's Mason Plumlee, who finished with 30 points, said of Murphy's dunk. "My adrenaline was going after that. Wow."
Murphy's slam contrasted the majority of the Blue Devils' offense in the first half, when they hit 10 of 13 shots from outside the 3-point line.
"The first half, we were on fire," Plumlee said. "Ten (3-pointers)? Come on. We're going to keep taking those shots, but we had to get some offensive boards, get it at the free throw line and execute down the stretch."
That scoring barrage was similar to the fast start the Wolfpack had in its 84-76 win at PNC Arena on Jan. 12.
And just as Duke rallied in Raleigh, N.C. State had a second-half turnaround at Cameron.
Richard Howell hammered away inside to post 15 of his 23 points after halftime, and C.J. Leslie had nine of his 16 in the final 20 minutes.
"We knew they were going to make a run," Plumlee said. "We knew they were going to come back strong; they're too good not to. I thought we did a good job of maintaining the lead in the second half."
A big part of that was Duke's ability to get the Wolfpack into foul trouble. Howell fouled out with 3:41 remaining, and Leslie followed him to the bench at the 1:18 mark.
Plumlee made 12 of 16 free throws for the Blue Devils, while Seth Curry was 10-of-12.
"I have to get to the foul line," Plumlee said. "When a team is in foul trouble, you smell blood and keep going at it. Guys are playing not to foul.
"We were aggressive; they were, too. Quinn (Cook) and Tyler (Thornton) both had two (fouls) in the first half."
This also was the seventh game that Duke has played with out senior Ryan Kelly. Not coincidentally, the loss to the Pack was the Blue Devils first without their tri-captain in the lineup.
"That was our first game without him," said Cook, who hit all four of his 3-point shots in the first half and finished with 21 points. "We wanted to show how we've grown since then.
"We executed the gameplan more than we did at State. We let them get too many transition points. We didn't corral their point guard. ... We got better after that, but we've got to work on closing the game out, keeping leads."
N.C. State still hasn't beaten the Blue Devils at Cameron Indoor Stadium since a 77-60 victory on Jan. 18, 1995. And even that win wasn't with Krzyzewski on the bench, as he was sitting out the majority of the season because of complications after back surgery.
You have to look back to Feb. 6, 1988, for the most recent time a Krzyzewski-coached Duke team lost to the Wolfpack at Cameron — a 77-74 decision well before any of the players in Thursday night's game were born.
That's pretty impressive, even by Duke standards.

DWTS Season 14: The fifth elimination
"Motown Night" is last dance for one couple
SAN ANTONIO - The top eight showed off their Motown moves, but the bottom two couples will have to compete in the dance duel for a shot to stay in the competition. Let's see who gets to dance again in this recap of the elimination show.
Before even a single couple was given good or bad news, the show started with a medley of Motown hits and the professionals showing off their dance moves.
Here's the leader board:
- Katherine & Mark – 39 points
- Jaleel & Kym – 37 points
- William & Cheryl – 36 points
- Donald & Peta – 34 points
- Maria & Derek – 30 points
- Melissa & Maks – 30 points
- Roshon & Chelsie – 28 points
- Gladys & Tristan – 24 points
The first four couples take the stage. They have to wait through a commercial break. I hit FF. Jaleel & Kym are safe. Maria & Derek are in jeopardy. The audience was cheering as if they didn't hear the "in jeopardy" part. William & Cheryl are safe. Melissa & Maks are in jeopardy. The crowd booed.
Michaela de Prince is a dancer with the American Ballet Theater. She was born in Sierra Leone. She was orphaned. She has vitiligo and was called "the devil's child" and didn't think she'd be adopted. But she was. She came to America and became a dancer. AAAANNNNDDD I'm crying. I don't know if I can watch her dance. It's too late for tears (even when they're happy tears)! Natasha Bedingfield performed "Wild Horses" during Michaela's dance. She is an incredible dancer. You should drop everything and watch the show online to see for yourself!
Now, we have a taped piece with the stars talking about feeling the pressure of the competition. FF.
The Macy's Stars of Dance featured a contemporary dance group and they were incredible!
Boys II Men performed "One More Dance."
The other four couples take the stage. Katherine & Mark are safe. Gladys & Tristan are in jeopardy. Lots of booing happening. Donald & Peta are safe. Roshon & Chelsie are in jeopardy. More booing.
The four couples in jeopardy are on the stage. Melissa & Maks are safe. Gladys & Tristan are in the bottom two. Maria & Derek are safe. Roshon & Chelsie are in the bottom two.
Stand by for the dance duel. Tom talked to the couples – a little time filler? I'm hitting FF. Next up: a taped piece showing the bottom two rehearsing for the dance duel. Clearly the editors knew who was going to wind up in the bottom two!
The couples are dancing a jive simultaneously. Oh. Poor Gladys. She looks like she's struggling to keep up with Tristan! Roshon looks like he has springs in his feet!
The judges decide who they're keeping. Carrie Ann saved Gladys & Tristan. Len saved Roshon & Chelsie. Bruno is the tiebreaker. He chose to save Roshon & Chelsie.
Aw. Poor Gladys. She may not be leaving on a midnight train to Georgia, but she IS leaving. The top seven couples learn a new dance next week. I hope the theme is a good one!

I finally spent a little over 4hrs to watch and digest the YouTube debate video from the second town hall meeting on subsidy removal, moderated by Nduka, with government officials, labor and civil society represented. I also heard unverified rumor that organized labor was since paid off to call off their protest against subsidy removal. Before I saw this video, I saw quite a bit of news clips of many Nigerians from all works of life, across the globe, protesting the removal of fuel subsidy and using that as an opportunity to "occupy Nigeria," with additional demands to end all the ills of government, including corruption.
No doubt in my mind that I have all along stood for the subsidy removal, except for two misgivings. First, like most informed Nigerians, I think the Nigerian government should have drastically cut their cost of running government, put in place certain shock absorbers before it removes the subsidy, and as well as phase in the subsidy removal. Second, allay the fears of Nigerians regarding a general lack of confidence in their ability to truly reinvest the conceived savings from the subsidy removal. Only government's better performance can satisfy this second point.
In a true capitalists society the market forces must be allowed to work properly for the good of all. That means government cannot do everything for its people, except provide those things which the people cannot provide for themselves and entrench opportunities to aid the very poor to rise and join the middle or upper class without necessarily being socially connected and privileged. These are the areas where the government of Nigeria has repeatedly failed Nigerians.
In my opinion, capitalism is best described by citizens' acknowledgement of who is in possession of factors of production - hopefully in the hands of private individuals, in the right way. Thus, governments have no business running things, except to provide the climate within which things are run efficiently. I have always advanced the definition of leadership to be a movement. That is, a leader must have the ability to take people and things from one location to another, from where they are to where they want to be. This of course presupposes that the led have willingness to follow or are persuaded with superior arguments and accomplishments to follow, but not coerced to follow.
The two questions that most Nigerians ought to constantly ask are: who are our leaders? Why are they not efficient and effective most of the times? Hopefully as you/we ask these questions, you/we look at yourself/ourselves in the mirror and ask if you/we possess the same leadership deficiencies of our current or past leaders. The point is leadership comes from the "group." Logic suggests that the Nigerian society is corrupt, inefficient, among other things, and that is why it attracts leaders who are a reflection of its society at large. Our redeeming grace lies in someday having a courageous leader with impeccable character traits and heart unafraid to set the tone from the top downward and eventually remove corruption from the fabric of our society.
My unpopular position is that fuel subsidy does not provide poor class of Nigerians much needed incentive to freely navigate their common sense away farther from the viciousness of poverty. For instance, folks having too many kids because of their religious or customary or political beliefs should face the trickle down effects of transportation costs and the cost of all other things associated with energy as a way for society at large to be serious with family planning - a common sense issue in today's world. Why bite more than you can chew? Nigerian central government has a tough role here too, to be the chief advocate for family planning by providing contraceptives and counseling to those needing them.
However, the federal government may unlikely fulfill this role unless through voluntary states participation because of religious and political reasons. I think that the political need of certain regions of the country to always maintain the highest number of people to ensure exclusive control of Nigerian politics will trump any attempt for a meaningful future population control policy. Ideally, there should be strength in numbers but in Nigeria's experience, more numbers without proper and efficient allocation of resources is setting the country backward to fast becoming a failed nation. Invariably, the government's numerous chats to illustrate Nigeria's oil production and revenue per citizen compared to countries with oil wealth but with smaller population also prove our exploding population is a hot button issue no one wants to address.
According to Democritus, an ancient Greek philosopher and later confirmed by modern elementary physics, an atom is the smallest indivisible particle of matter difficult to see with the naked eye. Electrons and other subatomic particles are smaller than atoms and are even more difficult to discern with the naked eye except, I guess, by those with super eye sight. If Nigeria continues to divide its finite oil wealth among its exploding population, a time will fast approach when each citizen's share will be difficult to see with the naked eye, let alone benefit anyone in any meaningful way. Some will argue that right now most Nigerians don't even see their share of the oil wealth or benefit from whatever wealth Nigeria claims to possess. Frankly, because of Nigeria's endemic corruption, I couldn't agree more with that argument.
That brings me to this conclusion. To all you passionate "occupy" folks out there, fight the Nigerian government for corruption, its inability to provide safety of lives and property, lawlessness and its general inefficiencies, but don't stop it, without the benefit of doubt, from improving the structure of the country's economy.

RAMSTEIN AIR BASE, Germany, Sept. 2, 2004 A NATO Air Chiefs Conference held here Aug. 30-31 brought together the top leaders of NATO's air forces to discuss their favorite subject -- air power.
The air chiefs of 19 nations, including six of the seven new member nations accessed in March, came together to discuss current operations, the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan, support to the NATO Response Force, and air policing.
The annual conference was co-hosted by Component Command Air Headquarters Ramstein and Izmir Air Station, Turkey. "CC Air-Ramstein and Air-Izmir hold their own meetings with their commanders, and this is a culmination of all the meetings," said U.S. Air Force Lt. Gen. Glen W. "Wally" Moorhead III, Air Commander Izmir. "This meeting not only helps us think through issues and challenges that we have in the air, but the specific nations' issues as well."
CC Air-Ramstein and -Izmir are the two air headquarters' previously known as AIRNORTH and AIRSOUTH respectively. The new names reflect the July 1 re- organization that streamlined the NATO Command Structure. The structure originated in 2002 as a result of the Prague NATO Summit.
"It's a part of a wider command structure (and) NATO rearrangement. ... From the airmen's point of view there are no boundaries in the air, so for us to be North or South is meaningless really," said Air Marshal Philip Sturley, CC Air- Ramstein chief of staff. "These Headquarters can cover something happening anywhere in the NATO area, so we moved away from the idea of North and South, which implied some sort of divide, to a more collective way to approaching NATO problems."
Since NATO is undergoing transformation both internally and externally, the leadership meeting allowed the alliance members to discuss issues to meet the new global-security challenges through air power.
"The air chiefs, like any other group, get together and need to discuss common issues and problems. We are an alliance, and a strong one at that," said the air marshal. "We have a forum where everyone has a say. It's very important to have an open and frank discussion so you can solve problems that affect all of NATO. General (Robert H. "Doc") Foglesong (commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe) and the staff here have taken the lead in ensuring that this is possible."
An example of why these leaders come together to discuss issues is the ongoing effort toward the alliance's International Security Assistance Force mission. According to the air marshal, NATO Air continues to contribute deployed tactical forces performing air tasks ranging from tactical airlift and medical evacuation to airborne reconnaissance, deployment of quick-reaction forces and close-air support. The Air Component at Ramstein Air Base provides air command and control to ISAF with a reduced forward footprint and the effective use of reach back.
The next event where the NATO air forces will test their interoperability skills together is at the NATO Air Meet, scheduled for Sept. 4 to 16 at Konya Air Base, Turkey. More than 1,500 people from 16 nations will participate with 93 aircraft and plan to conduct about 100 training missions a day.
"This is our last meeting before the (NATO Air) Meet to make sure the planning is set and everyone is ready to execute," said Moorhead. "(Combined Air Operations Centre) 6 will be running the operations, so this will not only be good for the aviators, but our command and control folks will get training as well."
Out of the 26 NATO member nations there are 24 air chiefs; Iceland and Luxembourg do not have air chiefs.

March 19, 2008 -- Last week Jeff Scholz of San Diego became the first person in the U.S. to have his appendix removed through his mouth.
Other than what he describes as a very mild sore throat, the 40-year-old former Marine says he felt very little pain after the surgery and was back to normal within a few days.
"They told me to take it easy, but I feel great," he told WebMD Tuesday afternoon -- six days after having his diseased appendix removed in a procedure known as Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES).
"Two days ago I started to do sit-ups again, and I ended up working a 10-hour day yesterday."
Surgeons at the University of California San Diego's Center for the Future of Surgery performed the highly experimental operation, which involved guiding surgical instruments through the mouth, down the esophagus, and into the stomach with a tube-like device known as a flexible endoscope.
Once inside the stomach, a small incision was made into the stomach wall to allow access to the appendix.
These days most appendectomies are performed laparoscopically, which is much less invasive than traditional surgery but still requires cuts through the abdomen wall.
The NOTES procedure is even less invasive than laparoscopic appendectomy, lead surgeon Santiago Horgan, MD, said in a news statement.
"Only one small incision to insert a small camera in the belly button was required to complete the surgery vs. three incisions required for a laparoscopic procedure," he says.
Scholz's surgery went off without a hitch, and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) surgical team hopes to perform one more appendectomy through the mouth soon.
If all goes well, the two initial surgeries will be followed by a pilot study of the procedure, UCSD department of surgery chairman Mark A. Talamini, MD, tells WebMD.
Talamini is also president elect of the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons.
"These are the first baby steps to look at this type of surgery to see if it is feasible, and to see if it is a potentially better way to approach appendix removal," he says.
The procedure has also been used to remove diseased gallbladders, with endoscopes inserted through the mouth or the vagina.
"The paradigm shift here may be that the stomach or vagina may heal better than the skin and [connective tissue] do," Talamini says. "We aren't ready to say that this is the case, but it is worth investigating."
The concern about going through the wall of the stomach is that stomach juices could leak out if the hole is not properly closed, exposing the patient to potentially life-threatening complication.
Because of this potential risk, researchers are proceeding with extreme caution, Talamini says.
"We are working to develop the technique and the tools to do this procedure in the most foolproof way possible," he says.

Love the boots hate the company
love the boots hate the company
i wore these one day got them from christmas from the parents and the first time i used them i got a huge gash in the front that burton would not let me return them for they said it was my own fault it happened and that they would not reimburse me. They have a warranty, but its crap. Don't expect to get new boots if these break on you. I had to use shoe glue and sand down the extra in order to make them look presentable again. In one night they lost almost all of their resale value so I guess I will be throwing these away when they dont fit me anymore.

You are aware that you can return them to Dogfunk, no problem?

Victoria Portnow '10
Dartmouth College Class of 2014
"Although I knew that Charles Wright had prepared me well for college, at first I underestimated exactly how well it did. After arriving at Dartmouth and taking placement tests in writing, math, Spanish and French, I discovered that my high school education gave me a head start on my college career by allowing me to start out taking higher-level classes. I also found that the reading skills and studying habits I developed at Charles Wright helped me to manage my time well; I get plenty of sleep every night, whereas many of my friends and classmates stay up studying late into the night. After completing my first quarter and seeing my success, I feel confident in my abilities as a college student, and I have to thank all of the teachers I had while at Charles Wright. I learned something unique in each and every class I took in the Upper School that has immensely helped me in my college career so far."

Loft faces around a month on the sidelines after hobbling off with a calf problem early in the second half of Saturday's 2-0 league win at Exeter.
"Doug has pulled his calf, so we're obviously disappointed with that," said Adams, who is operating with a small squad while the club remains in administration.
"He is an integral part of our squad and he can play in numerous positions as the fans know, but we'll miss him for a few weeks now."

Most people have heard the familiar expression: close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
It's something Highland's football team can certainly relate to the past two years under coach Jeff Shelton.
In 2011, the Hornets were a missed extra-point conversion away from the play-offs. Last year, Highland — though winless in district play — lost nailbiters (at least for six-man football) in two of its three games.
However, the vast major-ity of the 2012 players are back and a year older, as only two seniors graduated. And nine of the returning players received all-district honors this past season. Of those nine, two — running back Michael Hyde and defensive lineman Shelby Howard — were all-region honorable mention picks by the Texas Six-Man Coaches Association. Hyde, who is currently nursing a quad injury, ran for 1,055 yards and 14 touchdowns while Howard had eight fumble recoveries, nine sacks and 70 tackles a year ago.
Howard will also start at fullback, with Hyde as the tailback in Highland's mul-tiple offense.
Jacob Richburg goes in as the starting quarterback, with Toby Falcon at center and Kevin Box and Gaga Soedarsono as the ends. In addition, coach Shelton will use Zack Cornett at center, Laramie Thompson at end, Ethan Wilson as the spread back, Isaac Rios at tailback and Shelton's son, Eli Shel-ton, at fullback. Eli Shelton will also be used as High-land's long snapper.
Expected to get starting nods in the 2-3 defensive setup are Soedarsono and Eli Shelton on the line, Howard at linebacker, Hyde and Richburg on the corners and Wilson at safety. Falcon and Seth Wood at defensive end, Rios at cornerback and Box at safety will also get extensive action.
Coach Shelton has more depth than a year ago as the Hornets have 28 players — up from 22 in 2012 — on their roster, and at least half of them are expected to see extensive JV action.
"Our number one goal is getting into the postseason," Shelton said, "and the next goal is a district championship. This could be the best team I've had in three years, but if we don't bring it every night we could be home (for the playoffs). But this is a good group and we've got good leadership.
"We've been knocking on the door the last two years. But our kids understand that close won't cut it."
