PAWTUCKET — Just because the Pawtucket Red Sox are three wins away from clinching yet another Governors' Cup championship, it doesn't mean the roster is untouchable.
Even amidst playoff competition, the Triple-A outfit remains at the beck and call of the parent club. The regular-season practice of providing reinforcements on a need basis does not get a reprieve just because of what teams like the PawSox have lined up over the next several days.
When Pawtucket kicks off the best-of-five International League finals Tuesday night in Durham, it will do so minus the services of two key players who were removed from the equation prior to the locals polishing off first-round foe Rochester. Outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. wasn't around for the final two games of the five-game set with the Red Wings, while starter-turned reliever Allen Webster was not at the PawSox' disposal for decisive Game 5.
The PawSox understand that they have seen the last of Bradley and Webster this postseason. It remains to be seen if any more defections spring about, though manager Gary DiSarcina did his part by putting his players on alert late Sunday afternoon inside a champagne-soaked McCoy Stadium clubhouse.
With a jubilant and wet congregation of minor-league ballplayers forming a semicircle around their general, a business-esque DiSarcina alerted the troops of impending travel plans. After unveiling the time of the bus that would take the team from McCoy to T.F. Green Airport, the Pawtucket skipper stated, "Pack an extra bag in case you get called up."
Translation: What Bradley and Webster experienced this weekend could also transpire for Alex Wilson, Jose De La Torre, Pedro Beato, Alex Hassan, Brock Holt or any other PawSox member who's presently listed on Boston's 40-man roster. All of them may start the Durham series with 'Pawtucket' emblazoned across the jersey top, but who's not to say that come tomorrow or the next day, they are told to fly to Tampa Bay, where the Red Sox will begin a series Tuesday night.
"If something happens, they could get called up today," DiSarcina recently noted. "You can lose a key piece, but that's the way Triple A is. It's what you have to deal with and do the best with what you have."
Along that train of thought, Red Sox Director of Player Development Ben Crockett added, "The guys have to be resilient and focus on the things that they need to do."
Watching the Red Sox-related news and results filter out of Yankee Stadium this past weekend provided a foreshadowing of what was to come. With Jacoby Ellsbury out for the foreseeable future with a fractured foot, the Red Sox were in the market for outfield depth. That explains why Bradley was plucked from Pawtucket.
In Webster's case, Boston needed a fresh bullpen arm following three straight days of slugfests with the Yankees. It didn't matter that the hard-throwing right-hander had just one relief appearance under his belt – one that came as recently as Game 1 of the Rochester series.
It's a tale as old as time, but given that Pawtucket remains in the hunt for back-to-back I.L. crowns, it bears repeating. The needs of the big-league faction are always going to supersede what's transpiring down on the farm.
"If you look at our major-league roster, a large chunk of it is made up of players who spent time in Pawtucket," Crockett pointed out. "They've had a lot of attrition from this roster to the big leagues, which is a great thing for everybody and what they all want."
In the interim, it behooves the PawSox players who remain on standby to enjoy a rarity in today's close-to-the-vest world of minor-league baseball. The stakes and pressure surrounding this championship "hanging in the balance" series is similar to what major-league ballplayers experience routinely and gives credence to the minors.
The games are definitely managed differently, witnessed by DiSarcina deploying reliever Chris Martin into a tough situation on Sunday. Inheriting a one-out, bases-loaded jam in the sixth inning, Martin promptly retired the only two Rochester hitters he faced in the frame.
"That's why the playoffs are important," DiSarcina said. "You can't make up a situation like that during the regular season."
Said Crockett, "The playoffs represent a different level of pressure and is something closer to what they're going to feel once they get to the big leagues. You can't ever simulate that 100 percent, but I think the playoff experience is great for these guys."
Yes, there's a different buzz surrounding the PawSox these days. Yet as the losses of Bradley and Webster demonstrate, the business of call-ups is still very much alive.

MASSENA - With 10 minutes to go and a goal of $18,000, the tote board that was put up for Fridays Meals on Wheels radio telethon was sitting at $12,280.
And then the magic happened.
Masters of ceremonies Sanford T. Cook and R. Shawn Gray were putting out the call over the radio to get bids in fast, and the phones continued to ring up until the radio telethon signed off.
At 5 p.m. the final count was made on the bids and Chairman Mark D. Bogdan went to the tote board. There, he slowly wrote out 0, then 6, then 3, and then 1, purposely waiting to add the final number.
Drumroll please, he said.
And the result was $18,360, beating last years number by about $1,000, according to Mr. Bogdan.
This year businesses came through with donations and personal donations. The cash donations got it started, he said as the volunteers in the room celebrated the final number.
Their goal had originally been $15,000 this year, but Mr. Bogdan said it was bumped up to cover budget shortfalls. With the budget shortfalls, we have to make it up, he said.
And they did.
Im very surprised. Im very happy with it, Mr. Bogdan said. They were listening in and came in with sizeable donations.
It was important, he said, because of funding that was either dipping or staying flat while the demand for Meals on Wheels services was increasing.
Meals on Wheels Executive Director Jessica J. Fregoe said the final number surprised her when she saw it on the tote board.
I think Mark did this to me, she said. Im very, very happy. Again, Massena comes through. We have wonderful volunteers and wonderful people who value our service.
Like Mr. Bogdan, she stressed the importance of Fridays radio telethon.
This is the big fundraiser thats going to keep us going, she said, noting their subsidy runs out this month, leaving them with the remainder of October and all of November and December to cover their expenses before the subsidy is renewed in January. The money raised covers their basic operating costs, including food, lights and heat, she said.
At the same time, theyre delivering 92 meals, with two more people starting on Monday, according to Ms. Fregoe. Their summer numbers were in the high 70s. They delivered meals to 105 recipients last winter.
Massena Meals on Wheels volunteers deliver hot, nutritious meals within a 10-mile radius of Massena to the elderly, handicapped, less fortunate and those recovering from illness or surgery in Massena and Louisville. Hot meals are delivered Monday through Friday, and frozen meals are delivered for people on the weekends.At the end of August, they had delivered more than 14,000 meals so far this year.
Their service allows recipients to stay in their own homes and also assures their families that they are eating properly.
Massena Meals on Wheels is partially funded by the New York State Office of the Aging, and they receive annual donations from the towns of Massena and Louisville. But donations are what help fund the meals, Ms. Fregoe said, and through the annual fundraisers like the telethon and spaghetti dinner that kicks off Massena Meals on Wheels Week the board is able to meet its budget.

The Federal Trade Commission reportedly forwarded a settlement offer last week to social media behemoth Facebook. The FTC began investigating Facebook over claims that the latter was violating the privacy of millions of users by changing the default value of several privacy settings without providing prior notice to subscribers.
According to published accounts of the content of the proposed settlement agreement, Facebook would agree to obtain advance, express consent from users before sharing any material that was posted prior to the new guidelines.
For example, under terms of the agreement, if a user were to upload or update his online status or personal information, intending it to be viewable only by a select group of "friends," then Facebook would be prohibited from subsequently making that photo or that updated information accessible to anyone outside the group of people originally authorized by the user.
The Wall Street Journal reported that a source told the newspaper that changes made to privacy settings unilaterally by the popular site resulted in more personal information being shared than users were accustomed to or had consented to in the Terms of Service (TOS). The identity of the source was undisclosed pending final approval of the settlement.

Awr Hawkins, a columnist for Breitbart.com, asked back in February if the present shortages of ammunition are a deliberate attempt by government agencies to so overwhelm existing manufacturers with orders for billions of rounds that it is resulting in "de facto" gun control. Hawkins asked: "What if the shortage is intentional?"
On Wednesday he raised the same question:
While many of the conspiracy theories that have been propounded to explain DHS [Department of Homeland Security] ammo purchases ought to be rejected out of hand, it seems increasingly reasonable to believe these multiple, massive ammo orders have been placed one upon the other to exasperate the already low supplies in the private market.
It continues to sound like gun control by another name.
Certainly there are those who see a conspiracy behind every tree, none more so perhaps than Mac Slavo. Writing for his inelegantly named SHTF Plan, he points out that since President Obama was first elected in 2008, Americans have purchased more than 65 million guns, which averages one new gun purchase every 1.5 seconds. Says Slavo, this "suggests there is much more … than just people stocking up to go hunting or sports shooting." And then, without providing sources, Slavo ticks off the statistics: Smith and Wesson is running at full capacity, Ruger is ramping up production to meet demand, Armalite is "maxed out," Colt is increasing its production runs, Springfield Armory is "running 30-45 days behind," while Magpul "is behind 1 MILLION (his bold) mags.… Do not expect any large quantities anytime soon."
And as far as re-loaders are concerned, Slavo says, "It could be 6-9 months before things get caught up. Sorry for the bleak news."
Slavo apparently didn't get the memo, however, from Hornady Manufacturing Company, the largest independent producer of bullets in the world. On February 12, the company issued a short statement on availability and provided some responses to rumors floating around the Internet:

Why CTF4 is bad
Just the way I've always done it from the first time I played an fps, when the default movement keys in games were the arrows:P
I set it up so I never have to take my hand off the home keys. I've tried the whole wasd thing... not for me, couldn't get used to it.
I always used mouse2 for jumping and I must say that it makes rocket jumps very, very easy for me.
e and r are strafe left and right respectively
f: +forward
w: jump
s: duck
space: +back
bottom row are weapons
1 and 2 are default
4 through 6 are team chat binds (i just put them wherever I have room)
q: zoom
mwheel down: lg
b and g: more team binds
a and d: do nothing, thinking about moving something to a, d accidently gets hit sometimes, so I'll probably leave it unbound
And... +speed is on a side button on my mouse.
Sounds interesting, will give M2 jump a shot.
Heh general, you can't zoom and duck at the same time :-)
I feel like this config is unnatural/uncomfortable for the fingers.
It closely resembles a known layout:
s and d are strafes, space is back, mouse2 is forward.
Players like this will sometimes jump with the pinky which I presume you are doing, so a key like a or z would be used there for jump. Personally I can't imagine putting my pinky through such a workout as using it for something as common as jump. Ouch. You'd be already used to it though.
Why not use something like, sd strafes, f is forward, space is back, a is jump? Seems like your fingers would be all crowded there.
Also to remain sort of on topic imo this setup would benefit from m2 jump :-P

The harmonica equivalent of a 12-string guitar!
The Hohner 1496/48 Echo Harmonica has an octave tuning (the upper row of 24 holes is tuned one octave below the lower row of 24). When the 2 rows are played at the same time this creates the effect of 2 harmonicas simultaneously playing the same melody. This enables a single harpist to achieve a stronger, full-bodied sound not possible while playing a standard diatonic.
Hohner Echo harmonicas offer comfortable curved mouthpieces with traditional wood combs. The chromeplated covers have turned-in ends for extra style and sound. Key of C.

Speedy and painless delivery, also to Scandinavia (and probably rest of Europe). I ordered multiple skins for my devices for a fair price, expecting to wait a few weeks for the order to actually arrive. However, not only was ordering and paying for the order extremely convenient, the order arrived faster than expected. 10/10, would order again.Vesa Vahermaa, Finland

Okay, I think i see some of the problems, the ENV
is calling to look at the kshrc file which I don't have at the moment.
And I think this might be why its not working right. so either I need to create that
file or do something else where the env is called from the profile file.
not sure if that is right tho, but will play some more and see what i can figure out.

English Lakes Hotels Charity 3 Peaks Challenge
The second guest blog post from Tim Bell (General Manager of Lancaster House Hotel) and his team as they prepare for the ultimate British Mountain Challenge – Ben Nevis, Sca Fell Pike & Snowdon in 24 hours in aid of English Lakes Hotels sponsored charities Open Arms International and the Primrose House Trust. Follow the teams progress here and on Facebook with further information on how to donate to the charities to follow soon.
Saturday night, and it's the aftermath of another walk. This one felt a
little different though to last week's disorientating snow-scramble up
Helvellyn. Sure, it was fun, scenic, peaceful – all the usual stuff I look for
in a good Lakeland Trek. But this one was……well……erm……kinda…..it's
hard to put my finger on it. Oh, I've got it! It was "5 HOURS OF FEMUR-BENDING,
But do you know what? Now that my body has been submerged for 1 hour in a
deep bath consisting of 5% water and 95% radox, and my heart-rate no longer
sounds like the kind of frantic drum beats that can often be heard bellowing
from those Vauxhall Corsa's dressed up in Halford's accessories, I can still
look back on today's experience and pigeon-hole it into the "Yeh, that was a
good day" box. I like that box, and I think I need to get a bigger one.

you that I REALLY can waffle! In fact, I waffle so much, I come with choice of 2
toppings), I guess I must address the question posed in the title of this
do warn you now, are not pretty! First and foremost, it's the pain! Starting in
your lungs, your ever-increasing pulse seems to accelerate wave after wave of
muscle-stretching anguish to every fibre and nerve-ending in your body. Granted,
I'm sure this doesn't happen to everyone, especially those "zero-fat" lunatics
who actually run up mountains for fun, but I think I represent the average
person here. I like a beer or two, enjoy a slab of red-meat when presented with
the opportunity. But the thought of spending my life looking like the character
from the pepparani adverts just to avoid mountain-induced pain isn't tempting!
And I'd probably be as angry as pepparani-guy if I ate the diet these guys
probably have to eat to stay that fit, and that thin! Leaves and moss probably!
And for anyone thinking there's an ounce of glamour in this pastime, forget it!
You sweat….a lot! The journey upwards is a constant battle with the
perspiration ducts. You start off with 4 layers because you've checked the
weather forecast and it looks a little ropey. And then you start the
ascent…..and then you turn into an onion! Before you know it, you're peeling
off every sweat-drenched layer until you realise that you're actually walking in
your Damart thermal underwear, and let's face it, it's no Ann Summers is it? You
reach the summit, it's flippin freezing, so you put all the creased clothes that
have been crammed in to your woefully small rucksack back on again, along with
the obligatory woolly hat. And that hat will truly re-shape even the most rigid,
wire-like of hair do's. I'm fortunate not to have a well-stocked barnet, but I
have seen hair-styles on those mountains that could only be likened to the
aftermath of a Bonfire…….after the Fire Brigade have emptied 1500 litres of
water on it!

on before a rainbow forms above your laundry pile. So, I ask myself
into your frozen ear and dig deep into the grey matter. Here I'm glad to say, it
all starts getting a whole lot better. Let's talk neurotransmitters. Serotonin
is released with the elation and happiness of accomplishing a mountain peak. Not
just once, but probably every time you recant the story of how good it felt to
stand at the summit and gaze upon that fantastic view. No doubt the great
outdoors and 6 hours of sun exposure will produce melatonin which helps keep the
happy levels above any "danger levels" and avoid those winter "blues". And then
there's endorphins which are released when actually doing exercise. Again,
bringing about a natural "high" and a feeling of elation. In short, we're
starting to feel good.
you're happy! And that happiness stays so much longer than the aching muscles,
blisters and the sweaty/mossy aroma on your Berghaus fleece. Actually, that last
part is not true, so just deal with it and buy a can of lynx.
even add a third or fourth flavour to my toppings menu. Experiences evoke
memories, and they stay with you forever, and no bio-detergent is ever going to
shift them! The changing scenery, the skies, the weather – they all add to the
richness of the outing and gives you plenty of waffle-fodder for years to come.
It can be a hugely sociable experience, spending hours with a good friend or
family member with no interruptions so one can talk until your hearts content.
Today for instance we covered relationships, favourite foods and even the funny
side of flatulence. And that's quite a subject! You occasionally come across
other walkers, and what a smashing bunch of people they all are! Always up for a
chat, and happy to share the tales of the mountain, past and present. After all,
they are here for the same reasons you are. However, every now and again you
will come across a large group of walkers, all of them keenly strolling their
way across the baron, steep fellsides, except for the one person who's 60ft
behind them and by the look on their face (which can only be likened to a
clenched fist), one can tell that they would rather be gorging on a Bic Mac and
watching the Hollyoaks Omnibus on this fine Sunday morning. That person clearly
isn't enjoying the experience, and probably volunteered themselves for something
that sounded like a fun stroll in the park. But I'm sure they will still get the
"chemical" thing, and I bet they will be back for more.

where I know I won't bump into dozens of fellow ramblers. Sometimes, you just
need a little "me" time, a chance to think and digest the worries of the world
and put life back into clear perspective. It's not uncommon to meet perhaps just
1 or 2 people over a 6-hour stroll over certain Lakeland peaks. And who said the
Lake District was congested?

a medium/hard walk taking in 4 peaks along the long Helvellyn range. However,
the Ordnance Survey didn't recognise the official route up to Calfhow Pike, and
I don't blame them. It was a full-on slog, with more silent swearing than I've
probably ever done before. I thought the west flank of Kirk Fell was tough, but
this was in a whole new ball park. Throw in some ice, constantly changing
temperatures and the knowledge that this ascent is only taking you to the lowest
of today's summits, and you've got yourself a classic ridge walk – a bucket load
of pain to get to the ridge plateau, then mile after mile of gentler, undulating

I'm utterly new to the faith, but I have wholly embraced it and found His Noodly Goodness to be most spiritually fulfilling and rather tasty. i'm sure the idea has been broached before, but why don't we have a cookbook of worshipful (or not) awesomesauce pasta recipes? There's such a great food section already, if it was published and endorsed by the Prophet, more money would be generated for the heathen-converting pirate ship. (which would be amazing, if ever completed, even if the Prophet was being facetious) I'd like to know when this has been suggested before and why it never worked out, because I can't be the first one to think of this.

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
It was very heartening to see how much caring there is in Carbon County this past weekend as the search for the two Colorado men who came up missing on the night of Jan. 28 took place.
While the outcome of the search was not what any of us wanted. It showed that we have a community that cares about people, even if they are people we have little connection with.
This weekend was planned as a busy one for a lot of people. Many in the area were having family gatherings, parties with friends and other events to celebrate the Super Bowl. Still, many locals gave time to the cause of searching for the men and some even gave up at least part of Super Bowl Sunday to do so.
And most importantly, it just wasn't individuals who came across with generosity. The Holiday Inn donated a lot of space and services to the people who were here from out-of-state to look for the pair.
Local stores and individuals also donated a lot of other things to the cause. If you walked into the command center at the Holiday Inn either on Saturday or Sunday you would recognize what a big effort this was. People needed supplies and there were a lot of those kinds of things lined up against the walls of the banquet room that was being used as the command center.
But I think the time that was donated is of the most importance. We all only have so much time in our lives, so when we spend some of that helping others we are giving the ultimate gift of generosity. People took time off work and out of their busy days to spend time looking and advising those that didn't know the area. Some even didn't plan on attending Super Bowl parties they had intended to go to.
Because of the timing of finding the wreck of the Jeep, a number of people who would have missed out, still were able to see the game and go to gatherings. We all did this with a heavy heart however.
But if those same people had missed it because the search went on, I think most of those that were working to find the men, would have just shrugged it off. There are a lot of things much more important in life than any game, athletic contest, movie or television special.
I was surprised by one thing as I went around town and worked to cover the story however. I found that there were a lot of people who didn't even know the search was taking place or that the men were missing. at a convenience store asked me how come there were so many trucks with Colorado plates and ATV trailers behind them tooling around town. I explained to each one I met and they said they hadn't heard. Maybe that is the media's fault, maybe not.
In our case we missed the first reports of the situation in the paper on Thursday because it had already gone to press when we heard about it on Wednesday night. The next morning when we had some information we started posting stories about the situation and also posted links on Facebook. Almost everyone involved in electronic media has the idea that those reach everyone, well this proved to a certain extent they don't. We weren't the only ones on top of the story either. It was being covered by radio and television too.
Nonetheless I am proud of the community we live in. It was an eye opener to see how giving and gracious we can be.
Good work Carbon County.

Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrellby Susanna Clarke
Staff Pick
I know you shouldn't recommend books that you are only halfway through, but this is such a lush tapestry of a book I can't resist. Like a moist rich chocolate torte, Strange and Norrell is the sort of book you ration out to avoid finishing it too soon. If you need more convincing, Neil Gaiman calls it, "unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last seventy years."
A fantasy book of manners? Yes, and it works! Original and clever, this lush novel comments on the society and culture of magic. Strange and Norrell have opposing viewpoints on magic's role, and their clash provides a fabulous backdrop for this wonderful book. Just read it! It's great.
"It may be just as well that Susanna Clarke's first novel, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, is nearly as big as a house, since this is the kind of book you want to move into and settle down in for a long stay. It's set in a world very much like the England of the early 1800s, only in Clarke's version magic was once a daily presence and has since been lost or perhaps merely misplaced. In other words, this world resembles the world of our own reading, for most of us can remember a time when stepping into a book was like entering into an enchantment....Susanna Clarke's magic is universal." Laura Miller, Salon.com (read the entire Salon.com review)
"The prospect of having to read an 800-page novel billed as 'Harry Potter for adults' was enough to make this weary book critic pine for an invisibility cloak. But for those of you who, like me, can't endure another charmless opening at the Dursleys', take heart: Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is no Harry Potter knockoff. It's altogether original — far closer to Dickens than Rowling....Move over, little Harry. It's time for some real magic." Ron Charles, The Christian Science Monitor (read the entire Christian Science Monitor review)
Synopses & ReviewsPlease note that used books may not include additional media (study guides, CDs, DVDs, solutions manuals, etc.) as described in the publisher comments.
Publisher Comments:
English magicians were once the wonder of the known world, with fairy servants at their beck and call; they could command winds, mountains, and woods. But by the early 1800s they have long since lost the ability to perform magic. They can only write long, dull papers about it, while fairy servants are nothing but a fading memory.
But at Hurtfew Abbey in Yorkshire, the rich, reclusive Mr Norrell has assembled a wonderful library of lost and forgotten books from England's magical past and regained some of the powers of England's magicians. He goes to London and raises a beautiful young woman from the dead. Soon he is lending his help to the government in the war against Napoleon Bonaparte, creating ghostly fleets of rain-ships to confuse and alarm the French.
All goes well until a rival magician appears. Jonathan Strange is handsome, charming, and talkative — the very opposite of Mr Norrell. Strange thinks nothing of enduring the rigors of campaigning with Wellington's army and doing magic on battlefields. Astonished to find another practicing magician, Mr Norrell accepts Strange as a pupil. But it soon becomes clear that their ideas of what English magic ought to be are very different. For Mr Norrell, their power is something to be cautiously controlled, while Jonathan Strange will always be attracted to the wildest, most perilous forms of magic. He becomes fascinated by the ancient, shadowy figure of the Raven King, a child taken by fairies who became king of both England and Faerie, and the most legendary magician of all. Eventually Strange's heedless pursuit of long-forgotten magic threatens to destroy not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything that he holds dear.
Sophisticated, witty, and ingeniously convincing, Susanna Clarke's magisterial novel weaves magic into a flawlessly detailed vision of historical England. She has created a world so thoroughly enchanting that eight hundred pages leave readers longing for more.
"The drawing room social comedies of early 19th-century Britain are infused with the powerful forces of English folklore and fantasy in this extraordinary novel of two magicians who attempt to restore English magic in the age of Napoleon. In Clarke's world, gentlemen scholars pore over the magical history of England, which is dominated by the Raven King, a human who mastered magic from the lands of faerie. The study is purely theoretical until Mr. Norrell, a reclusive, mistrustful bookworm, reveals that he is capable of producing magic and becomes the toast of London society, while an impetuous young aristocrat named Jonathan Strange tumbles into the practice, too, and finds himself quickly mastering it. Though irritated by the reticent Norrell, Strange becomes the magician's first pupil, and the British government is soon using their skills. Mr. Strange serves under Wellington in the Napoleonic Wars (in a series of wonderful historical scenes), but afterward the younger magician finds himself unable to accept Norrell's restrictive views of magic's proper place and sets out to create a new age of magic by himself. Clarke manages to portray magic as both a believably complex and tedious labor, and an eerie world of signs and wonders where every object may have secret meaning. London politics and talking stones are portrayed with equal realism and seem indisputably part of the same England, as signs indicate that the Raven King may return. The chock-full, old-fashioned narrative (supplemented with deft footnotes to fill in the ignorant reader on incidents in magical history) may seem a bit stiff and mannered at first, but immersion in the mesmerizing story reveals its intimacy, humor and insight, and will enchant readers of fantasy and literary fiction alike. Agent, Jonny Geller. (Oct.) Forecast: A massive push by Bloomsbury has made this one of the most anticipated novels of the season. It's convenient to pigeonhole it as Harry Potter for grownups — and grown-up readers of J.K. Rowling will enjoy it — but its deep grounding in history gives it gravitas as well as readability. 200,000 first printing; rights sold in 14 countries." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"An instant classic, one of the finest fantasies ever written." Kirkus Reviews
"Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is no Harry Potter knockoff. It's altogether original — far closer to Dickens than Rowling....Clarke drops supernatural elements into the plot slowly and sparingly, luring fantasy readers along, while acclimating skittish newcomers to this genre gradually." Ron Charles, The Christian Science Monitor
"Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell is unquestionably the finest English novel of the fantastic written in the last seventy years. It's funny, moving, scary, otherworldly, practical and magical, a journey through light and shadow — a delight to read, both for the elegant and precise use of words, which Ms. Clarke deploys as wisely and dangerously as Wellington once deployed his troops, and for the vast sweep of the story, as tangled and twisting as old London streets or dark English woods. It is a huge book, filled with people it is a delight to meet, and incidents and places one wishes to revisit, which is, from beginning to end, a perfect pleasure." Neil Gaiman, author of the Sandman series and American Gods
"Clarke's imagination is prodigious, her pacing is masterly and she knows how to employ dry humor....In this fantasy, the master that magic serves is reverence for writing." Gregory Maguire, The New York Times Book Review
"Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell may or may not be the finest English fantasy of the past 70 years. But it is still magnificent and original, and that should be enough for any of us." Michael Dirda, The Washington Post
"Clarke has written a 19th century classic; there's little doubt it will have readers clamoring for more." Rocky Mountain News
"Clarke has crafted a great, looping narrative filled with characters greater and lesser that will pique first the interest and then the sympathy of the reader....The readers will find that this tale, though long, comes to an end far too soon." Denver Post
"What kind of magic can make a nearly 800-page novel seem too short?....[Clarke's] epic history of an alternative, magical England is so beautifully realized that not one of the many enchantments Clarke chronicles in the book could ever be as potent or as quickening as her own magnificent narrative." BookPage
"Clarke's ability to construct a fully imagined world...is impressive, and there are some suspenseful moments. But her attempt to graft a fantasy narrative onto such historical realities as the Battle of Waterloo is more often awkward than clever..." The New Yorker
"Absolutely compelling...the author captures the period and its literary conventions with complete conviction. An astonishing achievement." Charles Palliser, author of The Quincunx and The Unburied
"[I]mmense, intelligent, inventive, arid, and exhausting....Clarke is a restrained and witty writer with an arch and eminently readable style....Wholly original and richly imagined, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell turns out to be more admirable than lovable. (Grade: B)" Entertainment Weekly
"For all of her flights of postmodernist fancy, for all her stories about 'black towers' and magical books and hidden bridges that connect England to Faerie, Clarke has delivered a book of universal truths and unexpectedly heartbreaking acuity." Dallas-Ft. Worth Star Telegram
"Strange lives up to all the enticing promise of Clarke's earlier work. Her deftly assumed faux-19th century point of view will beguile cynical adult readers into losing themselves in this entertaining and sophisticated fantasy." Seattle Times
"If Harry Potter makes you want to be a kid again, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell will make you realize that being an adult should be a whole lot more fun than it is." Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Clarke is marvelously clever — she could step right up there with J.K. Rowling. Her extensive, fictional footnotes are as amusing as they are informative....
"With all the hype, it's tempting to dismiss Clarke's novel as a mere knockoff, but it's the real thing: original, mesmerizing, with uncompromising literary integrity." Polly Shulman, Slate.com
The phenomenal bestselling novel, in a new tie-in edition to the major seven-part BBC TV series costarring Bertie Carvel (Les Miserables) and Eddie Marsan (War Horse).
A novel about the adventures of a dentist and the future king of Romania, set in nineteenth-century Bucharest.
In this sparkling debut, magic and mayhem clash with the British elite...
The Royal Society of Unnatural Philosophers, one of the most respected organizations throughout all of England, has long been tasked with maintaining magic within His Majestys lands. But lately, the once proper institute has fallen into disgrace, naming an altogether unsuitable gentleman—a freed slave who doesnt even have a familiar—as their Sorcerer Royal, and allowing Englands once profuse stores of magic to slowly bleed dry. At least they havent stooped so low as to allow women to practice what is obviously a mans profession
At his wits end, Zacharias Wythe, Sorcerer Royal of the Unnatural Philosophers and eminently proficient magician, ventures to the border of Fairyland to discover why Englands magical stocks are drying up. But when his adventure brings him in contact with a most unusual comrade, a woman with immense power and an unfathomable gift, he sets on a path which will alter the nature of sorcery in all of Britain—and the world at large
The international bestseller, reissued with a striking new illustrated cover and introduction by Neil Gaiman.
In the midst of the Napoleonic Wars in 1806, most people believe magic to have long since disappeared from England - until the reclusive Mr. Norrell reveals his powers and becomes an overnight celebrity. Another practicing magician then emerges: the young and daring Jonathan Strange. He becomes Norrells pupil, and the two join forces in the war against France. But Strange is increasingly drawn to the wild, most perilous forms of magic, and he soon risks sacrificing not only his partnership with Norrell, but everything else he holds dear. Susanna Clarke's brilliant first novel is an utterly compelling epic tale of nineteenth-century England and the two magicians who, first as teacher and pupil and then as rivals, emerge to change its history.

Comments about Osprey Zip 25 Backpack:
Backpack is too small for the middle schooler who must haul binders/books/etc. to and from school. Not a whole lot of space, or extra pockets, zippers. My son complained the straps dug in around his shoulder and neck. He has been using a samsonite backpack for years and recently wanted to try the osprey brand. He has sacrificed comfort and space for style. Also, we have spent more on this backpack than on all others.

Whether it's for environmental or economic reasons, monitoring fuel consumption has never been of greater concern for drivers. And Dash, a new iPhone, iPad and iPod car accessory, will help you keep on top of things. As gas prices and carbon emission levels continue to rise, this iOS accessory tracks your fuel use as well as a slew of other things, so you can drive cheaper, greener, and more efficiently.
A low-energy Bluetooth device, Dash plugs directly into your car's On-Board Diagnostics port (OBD) and transmits data to your iPhone or any other Apple device. (All cars made after 1995 are equipped with an OBD port.)
It then tracks and analyses the data through the Dash app. From there, you can publish your data to a drivewithdash.com account, to better monitor your driving data and share with others.
According to Dash, this community aspect: "makes it easy to see your fuel usage over time, log overall miles, or determine the most economic way to drive to work. You can even compare your driving style or vehicle with other users to help improve your savings."
And the online Dash community even makes it easy for you to arrange splitting on gas with other users. The result is a better understanding of your fuel consumption as well as solutions on how to improve it.
but aside from gas use, this nifty iPhone accessory for your car can help you detect maintenance issues, "even before your check engine light comes on." Again, the Dash community can provide you with quick tips for troubleshooting from other users who have experienced similar problems.
And, if you've got an iPhone car mount, Dash's DashCam feature will even let you "record a video with trip and engine details overlaid on top." Sharing videos on YouTube or social media is a snap too, as Dash has Facebook and Twitter integration.
We've never quite seen an iPhone, iPad or iPod car accessory quite like this yet. And the entire concept, from the low-energy car-powered Bluetooth device, to the social aspect and video feature, is pretty exciting. But more importantly, Dash may just be the first iPhone accessory that can both help you save money and become a greener driver.

Beowulf and Fate Meet in a Modern Poet's Lens
Seamus Heaney's verse rendition of Beowulf has percolated for 15 years. The excavation became a double one: into the poet's own national, poetic and linguistic roots as well as the poem's.February 22, 2000 artsReview
In a Lyric Vision, Danger Casts a Long Shadow
Perhaps the best descriptions of Seamus Heaney's extraordinarily rich and varied oeuvre come from the poet's own work: his verse not only gleans ''the unsaid off the palpable'' but also captures the ''music of what happens,'' both in the domestic sphere and in the larger world beyond. Eschewing ideology and ''the diamond absolutes'' of partisans on both sides in Northern Ireland, Mr. Heaney has created a remarkable series of poems that stay ''true to the impact of external reality'' while at the same time remaining ''sensitive to the inner laws of the poet's being.''November 24, 1998 artsReview
Seamus Heaney, Poet, Wins the Nobel Prize
The Irish poet Seamus Heaney has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. In conferring the prize, the Swedish Academy praised Mr. Heaney "for works of lyrical beauty and ethical depth, which exalt everyday miracles and the living past."October 6, 1995 artsBiography
An Irishman Reflecting On Mankind's Strivings
In Seamus Heaney's paeans to the physical world are echoes of Hardy and Frost; in the wonderfully supple, musical phrasing of his poems can be heard the ghosts of Hopkins and Stevens. In many of Mr. Heaney's early nature poems -- collected in "Death of a Naturalist" (1966) and "Door Into the Dark" (1969) -- an awareness of mortality and danger already intrudes upon the pastoral lyrics.October 6, 1995 artsNews
A Pen, Snug as a Gun
From Heaney's earliest days, as poem after poem attests, his loyalties were forked; his mind was beset with the contradictory impressions and impulses that have thrust him, in some ways an unwilling victim, into the treacherous peat bogs of Irishness and conscience.November 11, 1990 artsReview

66 two-man teams fish 19th annual event
S-E Sports Editor
Local fishermen more than held their own in the 19th annual Governor's Cup Walleye Tournament on Lake Roosevelt June 23-24. This year, 66 two-person teams headed out early each morning in search of walleye.
Four of the top five teams this year were from Kettle Falls.
"That has never happened before," pointed out Lake Roosevelt Walleye Club President, Jim Meskan.
This year, over 700 fish were caught by those 66 two-person teams.
The popular stop on the Northwest walleye circuit is annually hosted by the Lake Roosevelt Walleye Club.
The tournament winners this year were local residents, Greg and Kathy Goodnight. They will be the 2013 Governor's Cup team that will represent the state of Washington.
Despite the rainstorms that plagued the areas north and south of tournament headquarters at Happy Dell Park in Kettle Falls, tournament anglers were anxious to test their skills on Lake Roosevelt walleye. At 6 a.m. each day, teams were sent out in search of big walleye and the largest fish of the day or the heaviest stringer of six fish (without accruing penalties for dead fish).
'Big Fish'
In the Saturday Big Fish category, the team of Stan Romig and Jerrad Romig came in with a walleye that weighed in at 6.06 pounds. Heavy Stringer honors went to the Goodnight's (18.10 pounds). Second were the Romig's (17.86 pounds). Third went to local residents Gerald Marco and Rod Sly (14.06 pounds).
Sunday's Big Fish honors went to veteran Kettle Falls fishermen Don Ghramm and Craig Bircher (5.88 pounds). Second place Big Fish honors on Sunday went to Marco/Sly and Charlton/Race.
Ghramm and Bircher also brought in the Heavy Stringer of the day (17.24 pounds). Second went to Ron Charlton and Jeb Race (15.62 pounds). In third place was the team of Dave Harrell and Sam Grant (14.62 pounds).
Uncle Walt's Tackle and HewesCraft provided the Cool Under Pressure Award to the team that advanced the highest number of places from Saturday to Sunday. Charlton and Race won that award for advancing 12 places.
Lowrance provided a fishfinder for the Lucky Dog Award. A couple of true sportsmen in the tournament field, Monroe firefighters Rod Hewitt and Jeff Dickinson, helped the team of Marco/Sly (outboard problems) get their bag of walleye turned in by check-in time, a move that helped that team to third place.
This year, there were five Governor's Cup teams representing the states of Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and New York. The Oregon team of Stan and Jerrad Romig will have their nameplate added to the bronze walleye sculpture that resides at the Kettle Falls Chamber of Commerce offices.
New sponsors
Tournament directors Ken Martin and Clyde Reneman, along with walleye club volunteers, have spent the past six months preparing for one of the area's largest annual events.
This year, according to Meskan, HewesCraft and Clark's Powersports & Marine came on board as additional tournament sponsors.
"The partnership has been well received," Meskan said. "Gary Clark and Dave Hewes have been very supportive of the walleye club and have recognized the economic impact the Governor's Cup brings to our local economies."
Tripp Distributing of Colville and Cabelas are also tournament sponsors
As part of the tournament, the walleye club holds a Rifle Raffle, a Cabelas Gift Card Raffle and a Dollar Raffle. The winners of the Rifle Raffle were Spike LaBrode (Minnesota) for the Henry's .17HMR; J.R. Hunnicutt (Colville) for the Ruger 10/22, and Vic Pierre (Kettle Falls) for the Savage .223.
The Cabelas gift card winners were Dan DePonte (Nevada) for $500; Alan Walker (Spokane Walleye Club) for $300 and Yogi Smith (Omak) for the $200 gift card.
"The monies generated from these raffle ticket sales support the club's activities and donations to Horizons, Kettle Falls Food Bank, Kettle Falls Youth Center, Senior Citizens' Center, the city of Kettle Falls, Operation Lifejacket, Save the Kettle Falls Pool and others," Meskan added.
Two local fishermen with longtime ties to the walleye club and the waters of Lake Roosevelt—Greg Goodnight and Don Ghramm—were understandably pleased with their tournament finishes and with the walleye fishery in Lake Roosevelt.
"We have been very fortunate," Goodnight said of he and his wife's success in the Governor's Cup Tournament.
The pair, who have only missed one Governor's Cup, annually take a week off before the tournament to pre-fish.
Goodnight, the superintendent of schools in the Kettle Falls School District, said he and his wife actually felt more confident last year after their pre-fish than they did going into the 2012 tournament.
"But it worked out pretty well," Goodnight said with a smile.
Shallow water—trolling the shoreline
He said he and his wife catch most of their fish in about seven-feet (or less) of water—trolling the shoreline.
The Goodnight's like to use crankbait that imitates rainbow trout.
"We have been fishing that way since about the third year (fishing the tournament)," Goodnight said. "There have been years when it hasn't worked that well…this year it did."
They caught both of their big fish within a half-mile of the Kettle Falls Marina.
"That was really nice on our gas bill," he added.
So, what do the Goodnight's plan to do with their tournament winnings?
"In the past, we were just as likely to spend the money on a depth finder as a couch," Goodnight quipped. "This year, the pragmatic choice is flooring."
Ghramm echoed Goodnight's comments about crank baits and their popularity with Governor's Cup competitors.
"This year, the tournament was dominated by crank baits," he said. "But that's a year by year thing…it's not just one bait. But crank baits ruled the roost this year. Some trout were let go (net pens) a few weeks ago.
"It's just a matter of what the walleye are feeding on at the time."
Ghramm says he loves the challenge of fishing for walleye.
"They are a pretty diverse fish," he says. "They change it up a lot…they could be in five-feet of water one day and 25 feet the next. Walleye are tough to figure out…they change a lot.
"It's almost like you are hunting for them instead of fishing for them."
Ghramm praised the Lake Roosevelt Walleye Club for their work in making the Governor's Cup one of the premiere stops on the walleye circuit.
They (the club) have done a great job of making this a community event.'
"They have done a great job of getting added money from sponsors," Ghramm pointed out. "And they have done a great job of really making this a community event. It's a very popular tournament and the club makes it special…it's really a week-long event and one that is very well run and organized."
Ghramm, a regular around the tournament circuit for years, enjoys the fishing—and the camaraderie.
"Tournaments like this draw fishermen from all over," Ghramm said. "There are a lot of good guys that fish these tournaments. It's fun to see them…I have met a lot of people and made a lot of friends fishing these tournaments."
Ghramm quipped that fishing is also a great way "for a guy with a gut and bad knees to stay competitive."
The tournament walleye fishermen will be back at the Kettle Falls Marina and Lake Roosevelt July 28-29 for the Spokane Walleye Club sponsored state tournament.
Meskan said the Lake Roosevelt Walleye Club would like to thank its tournament sponsors, businesses that support the club's advertising booklet, the board of Stevens County Commissioners, Kettle Falls Chamber of Commerce, George and Linda Allen and Chuck DeBruin of the Spokane Walleye Club, TJ's Tavern, Fairchild Air Force Base volunteers, the National Park Service, the tournament anglers, businesses and individuals who donated raffle items and the tournament committee and volunteers.

(WNDU) -Having a child die is one of the most devastating things that can happen to any parent.
There are many studies indicated that parents who lost a child have a high risk of being hospitalized for emotional problems.
But a first of its kind study involving the University of Notre Dame and the Rochester Institute of Technology shows that in the first two years following the death of a child there is a 300% increase in the risk of the mother dying.
Notre Dame economist Dr. William Evans and colleague Janier Espinosa of the Rochester Institute of Technology studied 69,224 mothers aged 20 to 50 years old for nine years, using national U.S. data as their source.
Dr. Evans said what they found was a heightened mortality of mothers.
"We found fairly large increases in mortality, much larger than say, you would for the death of a spouse," he said. "So it's a relatively traumatic event in terms of the affect of the health of the mother."
They also found that the age of the child did not matter.
They found the same results with deaths of children from infancy to adulthood.
The immediate years after a child dies are critical, said Dr. Evans.
"The mortality increases by about 300% in the first two years in the death of a child," he said. "Mortality rates are still low because these are fairly young women and so the increase in mortality is large in percentage terms."
But is it grief alone that is leading to the deaths of these mothers?
That is not clear, said Dr. Evans.
"That's the thing we don't know. We have some information on the type of death," he said. "The problem is that these are pretty infrequent events. It looks like they are the same things that they would typically die of: heart attacks or accidents. But there wasn't enough evidence to look at whether there was increased suicide or something like that."
It also did not seem to matter whether mom had one child or many.
Nor did the household income or education level figure into the equation.
"There seems to be very little difference in the affect on the death of the mom," Dr. Evans said.
So what can we do with this information?
According to Dr. Evans, we learn.
"One thing is, there does appear to be a critical period in the couple years after the death of a child where you really need to focus on the health of the mom," he says.
Evans added that stress can have negative impact on the body.
Time may not heal all wounds, but Dr. Evans says helping moms get past that critical two year period is important.
He says that 300% risk of death drops to 133% overall.
So is the mother and child bond stronger than others?
Dr. Evans said that remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain, "I don't know that people were understanding how important moms are, but I think what's clear is how important kids are to moms."

During its unveiling at the Mobile World Congress in February the reception for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 was not what Samsung expected.
A similar the C-Pen has a great stylus design that imitates the press of a finger, but with a finer tip that makes taking notes and revising documents more accurate. View the latest in Stylus pen technology from top brands such as Incipio, Targus, Kensigton, Griffin, HTC and of course Samsung.
One of the big flaws of the tablet was lack of a place to place to store the S-Pen. Samsung took it back for a redesign and the tablet now includes a slot to hold the advanced S-Pen stylus. While the stylus had to be slimmed down to fit inside the tablet, there will be a holder kit available for those who want the larger S-Pen feel.
Samsung has a reputation for being pretty slow with bringing its accessories online. Industry leading manufacturers continue to provide the greatest selection of top brand cell phone accessories from Bags and Sleeves, Batteries, Bluetooth Headsets and Bluetooth Car Kits, Car Holders, Cases and Skins, Data Cables, Earbuds and Headsets, Keyboard and Protectors, Memory Cards, Screen Protectors, Speakers and Docks as well as Stylus and Pens
