Submission NASA's Garver Insists that American Commitment to Space Exploration Undiminished->
MarkWhittington writes: "Space.com reports that NASA Deputy Administrator Lori Garver, at a space-entrepreneurship forum organized by Stanford University's Institute for Economic Policy Research, insisted that the space agency's commitment to space exploration is undiminished. To support her contention, Garver cited overall spending for NASA as compared to that of space agencies of other countries. But other data, from the money spent on the space agency's space exploration and planetary science accounts to a scathing report from the National Research Council tells a different story."

Updated 3:10 p.m.
The conviction of the Queens man known as "cannibal cop" in a scheme to kidnap, kill and eat women has been overturned, allowing for his release Tuesday, according to published reports.
Gilberto Valle was found guilty last March for conspiracy to commit kidnapping and accessing a federal government computer database without authorization. Late Monday Judge Paul G. Gardephe of Federal District Court in Manhattan acquitted Valle of the kidnapping conspiracy, the New York Times reported.
The former NYPD officer, who had yet to be sentenced, in the case, faced life in prison on the kidnapping charge. The judge upheld the second count, and which carried a sentence of up to a year in prison, the Times said.
Valle, who had been in prison since his arrest in late 2012, was granted his release on $100,000 bond Tuesday, and ordered to home detention at his mother's Queens home, reports said. He was also ordered to wear an electronic monitoring anklet, prohibited from using the Internet and will need to keep away from his victims.
According to the New York Daily News, Valle will also be required to undergo mental health treatment.
"I want to take the opportunity to apologize to everyone who's been hurt, shocked and offended by my infantile actions," Valle said to the media after walking out of court later that afternoon, according to the Daily News.
During the trail, it was argued that the six-year NYPD veteran and Forest Hills resident improperly used a federal law enforcement database to look up information on his possible targets.
FBI agents also provided evidence of Valle's "sick web chats with fellow fetishists" and Internet searches, including "recipes for human flesh" and "how to chloroform a girl." He not only researched ways to kidnap and cook his victims but also carried out surveillance of them, the Times reported.
While prosecutors were trying to prove his actions went beyond "fantasy role play," the defense argued the opposite.
Judge Gardephe agreed with the defense in his opinion, writing "once the lies and the fantastical elements are stripped away, what is left are deeply disturbing misogynistic chats and emails written by an individual obsessed with imagining women he knows suffering horrific sex-related pain, terror and degradation.
"Despite the highly disturbing nature of Valle's deviant and depraved sexual interests, his chats and emails about these interests are not sufficient — standing alone — to make out the elements of conspiracy to commit kidnapping," according to the Times.
Prosecutors are planning on appealing the acquittal, reports said.

For two super-successful examples of what Tag can do for your marketing and product line, take a quick look at what Overton's and Gander Mountain have been up to lately.
Overton's – a major water-sports equipment dealer – has filled its 2011 catalog with Tags to help promote their products. Catalog readers are presented with Tags linking to online videos showing off their products at their best, in action. They have also included useful tools such as "how to" instructional videos, including one on how to measure a boat (it's trickier than you might think).
Gander Mountain, a related company that provides camping, hunting, fishing, and boating equipment, has also included Tags in its recent catalog material.
Gander's Tags link to product videos on items like Sea to Summit's The Kitchen Sink (a portable camp sink). The video really shows what the product can do, presenting details about the materials, key features and endorsements, and how to use it in a variety of different situations. The Tag-linked video also gives useful tips on using the product to do dishes away from your water source when camping.
Both companies have made their marketing material more informative and interactive by using Tags, which are designed to draw viewers into the real experience of Gander and Overton's products, even from the limited media of a catalog. Do you think they succeeded? Got any better ideas? Let us know in the comments below or on Tag's Facebook or Twitter pages.

Rebranding is tough. Ask Tropicana, Pepsi or The Gap. It's usually a no-win situation in which you alienate the fans who didn't want a change, and you rarely please anyone with the new offering. Yet, there are times and situations where a new brand identity is called for.
Hewlett-Packard finds itself in a position where they need a new brand positioning. As Amazon, Google, Apple and others lead the conversations on the future of technology, HP is seen as an old brand. Back in 2008 they enlisted Moving Brands to do the rebranding and recently the agency revealed the behind-the-scenes work, which TechCrunch points out is unlikely to be used. It's laid out brilliantly here on the Moving Brands site. You can find additional commentary here, on the Brand New blog.
The post provides tons of images and videos showing Moving Brand's ideas and process. There is clearly an incredible amount of thinking, legwork, artistry and strategic vision infused in the effort. Check out this video entitled HP Magnetic North [UPDATE: The video has been removed from video, sorry.]
Of course things like this are always subjective, and you can argue the merits of the final results if you like, but that's not the point here. The real issue here is the thinking and how this contrasts with what happens in those $500 'design my logo' crowdsourcing efforts. From Moving Brands:
We wanted to ensure that HP maximized its opportunities to connect with people, to tell great stories and inspire great stories, to listen and respond, and to adapt to its environment. A multi-sensorial Identity and Design System was created to allow the brand to spring to life in print and in pixels, on screen and across all devices.
The Identity and Design System was structured to deliver familiarity and recognition through the use of a tight set of core brand assets — logo, colour and typeface. The contextual brand assets, such as identifiers and photography, add flexibility and relevance for specific target audiences. Expression Principles guide the creation of ownable HP signature experiences across spoken and written language, static layouts, information graphics, motion, sound, interaction, form factors and materials and physical spaces.
The defining signature of the system is the 13º angle. 13° represents HP's spirit as a company, driven forward by ingenuity and optimism about the future and a belief in human progress. It also refers to the world of computing by recalling the forward slash used in programming. 13° exists within the brand identity, in the graphic language, product design and UI.
Yes, HP has plenty of money to spend on this sort of thing, most companies don't. I understand that, and small businesses don't have to take it to this level. But you can hire one designer and work with that person directly. Let them understand the culture of the company, the trends in the industry and the behaviors of your customers.

The city council of Sunnyside voted Tuesday to amend its property tax rate. That decision came after concerns from Sunnyside Cogeneration that the increase would adversely affect the financial position of the power plant.
In its budget set to take effect on July 1, the city had proposed to raise property taxes from .002203 percent to .004203 percent. Under the previous rate, the city generated roughly $119,517 the proposed rate would have increased that amount by more than $104,000.
However, Sunnyside Cogeneration would have been forced to shoulder a substantial portion of that increase. As a result, the city and power plant have discussed over the course of the last month possible ways to meet the needs of the city without raising rates so much.
In a closed executive session last week, the council considered the matter behind closed doors. The power plant had presented a proposal to the city prior to the meeting that requested the city consider a lower tax increase.
"We agreed to work with the city if it had issues," said Mike Blakey of Sunnyside Cogeneration in a phone interview yesterday. Blakey indicated that the power plant would share its resources in order to keep costs down for the city. Those resources included the equipment that the power plant owns.
In order to meet the city's needs, the council opted to raise the rate to .003203 percent. That will generate an estimated $171,901 for the city this year.
"We cut the property tax increase in half, saving money for both the residents in the community and the power plant," added Blakey.
In return for the lower tax rate, Sunnyside Cogeneration also agreed to not ask for their properties to be reassessed for a period of five years. Blakey added that the county may choose to assess the value of the facility sooner than that. However, the county assessed the value this year. Blakey said the assessed value had not changed under the new assessment.
In an unrelated matter, Council member Doug Parsons will be taking a leave of absence. His reserve unit has been activated and will be serving in Iraq for an 18-month period. Parsons was not present at the Aug. 16 meeting, but had requested at the Aug. 2 meeting that the council give him a leave of absence.
At that time, he had proposed that Mike Marquez be appointed to fill the position in the interim. In the Aug. 2 meeting, the council asked the city's recorder, Polly Sanderson to inquire of the Utah League of Cities and Towns what the state laws dictated.
Sanderson reported her findings Tuesday. State statute requires that positions which are vacant for a period of 60 days or more be filled.
In addition, the position presently filled by Parsons is up for election this November. Parsons had indicated he planned to run. However, state statute requires that elected officials be present to be sworn into office. Parsons' 18-month service would limit his ability to be sworn in, and may result in forfeiture of office even if he is elected.
Councilmembers cannot vote by proxy or have someone appointed in their place. Council members may participate by telephone if it is properly advertised that they will be participating in this way.
The state statute regarding eligibility and residency requirements for municipal offices dictates that any official who is absent from the municipality for more than 60 days without a leave of absence is automatically vacant.
As a result, if the council voted to deny a leave of absence the seat would automatically be open and need to be filled after 60 days. As a result of those findings, the council granted an initial leave of absence for 60 days.
Another state statute provides specific provisions for members of the military. That section states, "No public employee, public officer or legislative employee may be required to resign from, vacate or forfeit a governmental office or position as a consequence of entering into active military service."
It further dictates that public officers who enter active service will be granted a leave of absence during that service. In addition, the law states that elected officials will not be granted a leave of absence that extends beyond their term of service.
That law indicates that the council will be required to extend the leave of absence until the end of Parsons' term. That term ends at the end of 2005.
If Parsons chooses to run for reelection, and is not present to be sworn into office, the council will be required to appoint someone to fill the vacancy at that time.
During the leave of absence, Sunnyside's city council will be reduced to four members when Parsons' cannot participate by telephone. As a result, Mayor Bruce Andrews will be given voting power to break any ties between council members.

Outrage and demands for answers about the attack on an American diplomatic compound in Libya intensified last week after Joe DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney currently representing a key Benghazi whistleblower, said in a radio interview that around 400 surface-to-air missiles presumably meant for Syrian rebels were stolen by some "very ugly people." As fears grew that the advanced weapons could be used by terrorists to bring down airliners, calls for impeaching Obama over a wide range of Benghazigate-related crimes escalated, too.
Even before the latest news, numerous major controversies were swirling around the administration over the deadly attacks — the brazen lies that followed the assault, the conditions that allowed the killings to happen in the first place, the alleged unlawful transfer of U.S. weapons to terrorist groups in Syria, and more. In terms of trafficking weapons to Syrian "rebels," even the establishment press has finally come to the conclusion that the U.S. government was indeed running guns from Benghazi. The New American has been reporting those allegations since shortly after the attack.
Now, however, the existing scandals are expanding, even as fresh ones are added to the list. Among the most serious: Explosive public statements made by the lawyer representing key Benghazi whistleblower Mark Thompson, the deputy assistant secretary for counterterrorism who testified about the attack before Congress earlier this year. Speaking to WMAL Mornings on the Mall in Washington, D.C., last Monday, DiGenova, the prominent attorney, offered a series of accusations and claims that made headlines around the world.
"We have learned that one of the reasons the administration is so deeply concerned, we have been told that there were 400 surface-to-air missiles stolen," DiGenova said about the attack, citing intelligence sources that have come forward to share information since DiGenova and his attorney wife started representing Benghazi whistleblowers. "The biggest fear of the intelligence community is that one of these missiles will be used to shoot down an airliner."
According to DiGenova, the information was provided by "former intelligence officials who stayed in constant contact with people in the special ops and intelligence community." He added that "it is pretty clear that the biggest concern right now is that 400 missiles, which have been diverted in Libya and have gotten into the hands of some very ugly people. And they are worried, specifically according to these sources, about an attempt to shoot down an airliner."

Comments about North Face Cat?S Meow Bx Sleepingbag (Women's):
I was very excited when I bought this bag, but slightly disappointed when I tried to use it because I'm 5'8" and it was too short for me; however, my friend who is 5'4" used it camping around 25 degrees and loved it. I normally prefer down bags, but hiking and camping in the mountains on the east coast I will always stick with synthetic in case it gets wet!

|Everyone was pitching in early Wednesday morning to get the clothes ready for Saturday when Freedom Christian Fellowship kicks off a new program for the community. (L-R) Jordan Fossat, 4, Jennifer Mayfield, Cali Fossat, 8, Keri Mayfield, 12, and Pastor Mike Mayfield carefully fold items.
The congregation at Freedom Christian Fellowship wanted to connect more with the local community so the members took a close look and found there were basic needs that are out of reach of some residents.
What they found was that many people do not meet the income requirements to receive aid from traditional food banks and that there were people who didn't have enough resources to buy even used clothing.
From their desire to connect sprang the idea to set up a clothes closet and food basket.
"We were kind of sitting back trying to figure out ways to get involved," said Minister Mike Mayfield. "We wanted to do something to benefit the community and meet some unmet needs."
The church's project kicks off on Saturday and anyone in need is welcome, according to Mayfield.
Early Wednesday morning, congregation members were busily sorting, folding and setting clothes on tables in the church's fellowship hall.
Visitors on Saturday will have an easy time heading to the right table to pick out the clothing they may need as the members have gone the extra mile and separated them by size with a sign posted in front of each table.
The launch of the program is starting out modestly with just the clothes closet, but the Freedom's congregation has bigger plans for the future.
The food basket and eventually a soup kitchen are in the works, according to Mayfield.
The food program is expected to have a two-pronged approach - donated items that will be free to people residing in the community.
Eventually, the church plans to provide a once-a-month opportunity for the community to buy a box of food for $30.
Mayfield said his church is trying to work with a program started in Georgia that provides a box filled with everything from meat to vegetables to dessert.
The Angel Food Ministries, was started by Pastors Joe and Linda Wingo in 1994 in Monroe, Ga.
The Georgia program has grown to serve hundreds of thousands of families in 35 states.
However, it has not yet been instituted in the Castle Valley area and Mayfield is trying to get the ministries started.
The idea is to provide anyone who might need it an affordable food source, said the pastor.
"Even the richest residents might find that they are having a few hard months and that they need a little help," said Mayfield. "Angel Food Ministries has no income guidelines."
A sample of the program's menu for one month is displayed on www.angelfoodministries.com and is impressive in the comprehensive variety of items that can be stuffed in a medium-sized box.
In addition, Mayfield said the church wants to open a soup kitchen to ensure that homeless and people who may be struggling due to life circumstances, including substance abuse problems, will have a place to get a meal.
The soup kitchen is still in the planning stages, however, and may take a few months to get up and running, said Mayfield.
The church members are reaching out to businesses in the community with the hope the businesses may be able to find ways to help Freedom Christian further the outreach project.
Amanda Flemmett, a member of the congregation, said Tuesday she has approached several businesses with the idea.
So far, she has received positive response in her mission, said Flemmett.
The outreach project organizers have approached one business with the idea of providing materials for the construction of a small room at the back of the church to use for storage.
"Right now, we are keeping all the clothes in the bathrooms," said Mayfield. "And it's not so great for congregation members when they have to go into them."
Mayfield took over the helm of Freedom Christian in June 2007. He is transplant from Jacksonville, Texas, where he was a pastor for about nine years. Mayfield brings with him an empathy for those in need that is bolstered by personal experience.
"I know how it is," he said. "I was homeless once, sleeping in parks with only two changes of clothing to my name."
As a pastor, he also sees his mission to bring Jesus Christ to people can be done in concrete ways.
"To me, this way is perfect," said Mayfield. "When Jesus went into areas he ministered to their physical needs first, before trying to bring them to the spirit."
Flemmett echoes her pastor's sentiments, pointing out that the church wants to reach out to anyone in need. She emphasized that means even those who may be using drugs and alcohol.
"We are really excited about this (Saturday's event) and we don't care if you used that day as long as you are in need," said Flemmett.
The clothes closet will open at 8 a.m. and run until there's no more takers or everything is gone, said Mayfield.
While the food basket isn't ready to go yet, the church will provide hot dogs and chips to participants and visitors.
Castle Valley residents interested in helping out or donating to the project may stop by Mayfield's house between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. daily or call the minister at 637-0141.
Mayfield's home is located next door to the church at 550 East 100 South in Price.

text: Lancome Moonlight Rose Illuminating Powder ($42.00 for 0.18 oz.) is supposed to "give the skin a light-reflecting, luminous glow." It's a pale, warm-toned pink with a fine, frosted shimmer that sheers out easily when applied. If applied with a damp brush, it will take on a more metallic finish. Chantecaille Les Petales de Rose has a finer shimmer that turns to a sheen, so it is subtler on the skin; there's also a slight golden tint that Lancome's dosen't have. Guerlain Cruel Gardenia is slightly warmer, but it's incredibly similar. MAC Light Sunshine is less shimmery, paler.Read Full Review

Former Lipscomb softball standout Kellie Sirus was back on campus over the weekend for an alumni game. Sirus, back in her home of Sarasota, Fla., where she works as a cardiology nurse, was an All-Atlantic Sun Conference performer in 2010, 2009 and 2008 and a member of the All-Freshman Team in 2007. She was a member of the A-Sun All-Tournament team in 2010 and 2009 and was the tournament MVP In 2010. She also excelled in the classroom where she majored in psychology. She was twice named a CoSIDA First Team All-American in 2009 and 2010 and was a member each year of the A-Sun Scholar-Athlete list. She took some time out from visiting with her former teammates to talk with Lipscombsports.com.
"It was very exciting to go to the regional, especially at the University of Alabama which was the best team in the nation. We had been working four years to get there and our senior year we made it happen."

Chocolate Almond Tapioca Pudding Slow Cooker Recipe

How crazy is that-- Last night I watched my favorite Food Network chef make tapioca pudding in the slow cooker and thought- "Tomorrow morning I'll e-mail Stephanie and ask her to do tapioca for her blog!"
Then, I open up your page... to this!
Wow, just, wow.

Ooh this sounds yummy! I may have to try it. Thanks for all the great recipes you share. I didn't mind the partial feeds...I say do whatever you need to do to protect yourself. Have you tried using Copyscape?

Hi Steph! I love tapioca pudding too! I've got a recipe in my new book as well...not cocoa though. I'm going to give that a whirl. It sounds divine.
There's tons of buzz at my blog about *your new book* and they've been sharing favorite recipes from your blog in the comments...I've found a few I didn't know about. Can't wait to try them.
BTW- the link to Totally Together isn't working. It's giving a 404 error. Thought you might want to know.
Hugs & Merry Christmas to you, too!

Hi Steph,
I'm so glad you went back to the regular feed! Yay!
This recipe sounds delish! The last time I went to Trader Joe's I got their cocoa powder, it is really flavorful and a good buy. I think I paid $1.99. I had Ghiradelli before that, it was really good too, but cost more (got it on a good sale, and have never seen it low enough to purchase again).
BTW, I often add the cocoa powder and almond extract (sometimes with sliced almonds) to my hot multi-grain cereal, and sometimes I add shredded unsweetened coconut along with a little coconut oil (supposed to be healthier than butter) instead of the almond extract.
Also good in pancakes!

I've never been a fan of tapioca, but I've only ever had the prepackaged kind. I'm thinking anything almondy-chocolate flavor has to be delicious. Maybe this will turn tapioca around for me.

- Diane-The WHOLE Gang said...
Wow this sounds amazing. I really need to get cooking more things in my crockpot. I wonder if this will work with a metal insert? Also, with almond or coconut milk to make it dairy free. I'm going to give this a try. I've been wondering what I was going to do with that box of tapioca. Thanks Steph!

Stephanie - when I was growing up my mom used to make chocolate rice pudding...she passed on almost 2 years ago and unfortunately, I never got her recipe. Can you tell me 1) have you ever made a good tasting batch of chocolate rice pudding (I've tried but it just doesn't taste right for some reason) and 2) could chocolate rice pudding be made in the crock pot? Feel free to email me at kritterblogdesigns(at)gmail(dot)com - or leave a message on my blog www.followthefish.blogspot.com Thanks

I have been reading your blogs for a few weeks and I have not been able to comment...but I got a new phone and I want you to know I love your blog..I always end up hungry and ready to cook. Question, I would love a good rice pudding recipe. It can be chocolate or regular. If you have one can you let me know.

Oh I love tapioca! I don't know where I'm going to find tapioca that's not instant, but I'm going to start looking. Tapioca pudding is often a treat at my house, and since my husband won't eat it, I get it all for me!

Heya. it's 2:21 over here and I can't sleep, so I'm surfing on the laptop in my living room, next to the glow of the chrismtas tree. I actually ain't hatin' life right now, it's very peaceful. :) Anyway, just wanted to say good luck on the release of your new book and the link to your Totally Together Reviews isn't working from this post. I want to enter. :)

Oh this is good! I like that I don't have to think too much about it and then I get perfect tapioca pudding at the end! I will definitely be making this again.
- December 26, 2010 at 4:22 PM

Could this be any easier? And with the cocoa powder and almond extract, I bet it kicks the flavor up a whole bunch of notches. Can't wait to try this!

The fight to free the Earth from alien domination began in Live Free or Die, and continued in Citadel. Now Tyler Vernon and his troops aboard the gigantic battle station Troy face a desperate battle with the forces of galactic tyranny. And the very survival of the Earth and its people is not all that is at stake. The galaxy itself must choose to live free or die - and if the tyrants win this battle, darkness will fall across the galaxy for millennia to come.
Battle stations! Listen to another galactic adventure in the Troy Rising series.
©2011 John Ringo (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"[Ringo's SF is] peopled with three-dimensional characters and spiced with personal drama as well as tactical finesse." (Library Journal)
"Fans of strong military SF will appreciate Ringo's lively narrative and flavorful characters." (Publishers Weekly)
"Ringo provides a textbook example of how a novel in the military SF subgenre should be written.... Crackerjack storytelling." (Starlog)
Space Sci-Fi fan. Stopped 'Reading' books when I had kids and lost my spair time, lissen to Audio books now while I drive to work.
"Human interaction"
It is true that this book has less outright battles in it (though the battles that it does have are epic) and also less detail on the preparation of the physical instruments of war. Instead, it concentrates more on the development of individuals and (as noted by many other polarised for or against reviews), the interactions between personal raised in different cultures and how they react when required to work together. It is also worth pointing out that many of the differences discusses seem to have as much to do with ones position (Class if you will) within a given culture as the culture itself.
This book, like most written these days, could easily be extended with additional works however, I feel that it also concludes at least the first three books nicely enough to put the series down for now. So, if you don't like to start a series until it has finished in order to avoid waiting for pending books to finish the story, this book will allow you to read at least the first three in the series.
"Too Talky"
I like John Ringo's books. I especially like the first two Troy Rising books, but this one was just yakkety, yakkety, yak. Oh, yeah right at the end a battle scene that seemed to be done as an after thought and leaves one wondering if the author just got tired of writing it.
The last 20% of the book is very exciting but I'm not sure it is worth the buildup. There seemed to be two (or three?) very disjointed stories within this book and only one of them is interesting. The first story dealt with "Comet" Parker, a very interesting powerful female character dealing with working in a macho Latin American environment. OK, that could have been fairly interesting for a chapter or two, but it goes on and on and on and (amazingly enough) doesn't really reach any sort of satisfying conclusion.
The second story is the massive space battle seems to just happen toward the end of the book and Comet and her storyline mostly fades away. During the battle the story shifts abruptly to Butch, the space welder introduced in prior books, for a bit and then... ends.
I enjoyed the first two books enough that I am OK that I listened to this one and will certainly try out the fourth book - I assume there will be at least one more book as this in no way wrapped up a trilogy.
The narration continues to be first rate and made it OK to just exist in Ringo's universe for a while, but I think one more strike and I might need to close this "gate."
I liked the focus on Comet Parker, but there is only so much Anglo-Latin cultural discussion one can take in a Space Opera. The wave the magic fabber wand to solve problems is also getting tiresome.
Ultimately, an OK 3rd entry in a great series.
"Culture Smulcher"
I have to say that I loved the first two installments in the Troy Rising series but "The Hot Gate" left me seriously dissappointed. One can only take so much discussion about the latino / anglo cultural differences which seem take up several hours of this story line. Listen to the first hour and that last 3 hours and you won't miss anything but the frustration of waiting for a story to develope. Praying that book 4 is better,
5 stars is i love and i will read agani and again. 1 is i hate and i never want to hear about it ever again. YES = :))) - NO= :'(
I have no idea how did i forget to write a review for this book.
It had a weird and slow start, but the 2nd half of the book was really good, especially the war in the end.
i'm really apset that i have no idea if there is a fourth one or not... John Ringo!!!!! please let us know if there is a fourth one coming!!!!!!!!! there has to be!!!!!
I had a listen to it several times so far... and never i got board from it so far.
"Great series, I hope there is more"
Once we got past the social politics of culture clashes, this was a really great read. This book was not a light hearted as the previous two, but the story line was well developed. Tyler Vernon is now one of my hero's. The book seems to open ended to be an ending, there has to be at least 4 more books yet to come. I will keep re-listening to the series until I have dug out every bit of the book. Good books have to be listened to multiple times. This is a great book and series.
"Hot action at the Hot Gate"
If you're looking for terrific military sf, John Ringo delivers again. Definitely sets you up for next volume. And the story unfolds into new characters and story lines. Although I kind of miss the hardy New England souls in book one, the new folk make up for the lack. Not for tofu eaters though.
"This series was great."
I love this series. I hope there's going to be more books in the series. It's one of those books you can't wait to see what happens but you don't want it to end.
A good way to get through the work day.
"Great addition to the series"
The Hot Gate was a great addition to the series though the story did slow down at times. i found myself hoping and waiting for the aliens to attack. In Hot Gate the story gets a lot deeper dealing with cultural differences and views on women. All in all it was a great listen and I will be awaiting the next book in the series.
The first two books were brilliant so what happened with this book ?
The book is about 16 hours long with about 15 hours devoted to south american politics that really has nothing to do with the story line , it should have been one space battle after another getting better and better instead it was boring and pointless.
Take my advice listen to the first two books and use your imagination to finish the trilogy.
"What? Not sure what the Story was about"
the end was ok but what was the rest about?
Ok so book one was good, book two seemed to put down the rest of the world and this book seems to be about south american class wars? Where did the story go? the end was good but what was this book about. I really hoped after the self indulgent stuff in book 2 this would pick up, well it was not all bad but the writer seems to have issues and brings them out in the book, sorry if for any reason there is a book 4 i won't be following it :( Having a female hero and a male hero is great ideas as in another series i am reading from this author but he really spoilt what could have been a great series for me :(

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., October 14, 2010 – Canon Inc. and Toray Industries, Inc. today announced the successful development of the industry's largest*1 exterior part made using bio-based plastic. The part, for use in select Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE models, also achieves the world's highest level of flame retardance.*2
Plant-derived bio-based plastics, which curb increases in CO2 and decrease the consumption of oil resources, offer material properties that effectively reduce environmental burden. However, because of the technological difficulties involved in realizing the moldability and other flow characteristics demanded of large-scale parts, while at the same time satisfying external appearance requirements and high mechanical strength and toughness criteria, bio-based plastics had proven difficult to adopt for use in exterior parts, particularly due to the high level of flame retardance required of such parts.
Through Toray's material design technology, capable of controlling polymer structures on a nanometer-order scale and Canon's advanced molding technology supporting the formation of large-scale parts, Canon and Toray realized improvements in material characteristics to successfully develop the industry's largest exterior part made using bio-based plastic.
The part, which measures 640 millimeters (mm) wide by 440 mm high and weighs approximately 1,100 grams, will be used in select Canon imageRUNNER ADVANCE models. In terms of flame retardance, the part achieves 5V classification under the UL 94 flammability testing program.*2 The newly developed part is approximately 11 times larger and approximately 6.5 times heavier than the previously realized largest bio-based plastic part*3 that achieved the same level of flame retardance.
Compared with conventional petroleum-based plastic, the new bio-based plastic developed by Canon and Toray offers an expected reduction in manufacturing-related CO2 emissions of approximately 20%.
This successful development achievement will enable the use of bio-based plastic in not only small-scale exterior parts in multifunction office systems and other business devices, but also for replacing large-scale exterior parts used in multifunction office systems for production printing.
Through continued technical development, Canon and Toray will work to realize further enhancements in the field of bio-based plastics with the aim of expanding the range of applications in which they can be used.

Trubridge's work has become widely celebrated for its innovative, environmentally sensitive qualities. A fascination with nature has led him to develop collections which are inspired by flora, fauna and formations within the landscape. These include lighting, furniture, large scale commissions and sculptural pieces which are all designed with longevity in mind and integrity at their core. Perhaps one of the most well known Trubridge "signatures" is the Coral Light. Inspired by the designer's experiences underwater, the piece is based on the structure of a geometric polyhedron and is reminiscent of the intricate patterns within coral itself. Sold as a kitset, the environmental footprint of the light is also reduced. This is a typical Trubridge feature. The collections incorporate a wide range of "Grow" lights which are known as the "Seed System". The company believes this involvement of the customer in the construction process is an essential advancement of the product's emotional worth.

I went to a party for the superbowl to visit a girl I know, her dad had a 100 inch projection TV. I was shocked at how nice it was. All the ones I've seen have been shit for resolution. It instantly made me want and need one...but when I really think about it, I can't go much bigger than my 50 inch. My wall is only 80 inch total, so most of my game room is already a TV And upstairs I don't have a free wall...and my drunk ass friends would break anything bigger than whats already hanging on my wall.
I grabbed this little XBMC box for my mom for her birthday. They put them back in stock on Amazon, ended up costing $107 shipped...I'll post a review on my blog within the coming few weeks on how it is. Supposed to have something like 17,000 free movies/TV shows on a single app...not to mention the music streaming, etc. I'm trying to help her get rid of the ****ing cable we pay $90 or something a month for...
