Our 2013 Staffing Heroes
I would like to draw your attention to the Staffing 100 2013 list.
Our annual list of industry dynamos is a guide to those who shape the growing $134 billion staffing industry. They are our movers and shakers, bringing us something that we all need: jobs. The staffing industry is the next new frontier in how work gets done, and the battle is on to source candidates.
SIA President Barry Asin says the highest service we can perform is finding a job for a person in need, drawing on the words of Moses Maimonides, a Jewish philosopher of the Middle Ages. Centuries later, the belief still holds true. The 100 on this year's list are stellar examples of combining service with innovation. Among them are strategists, entrepreneurs, CEOs and lawyers, to mention a few. These folks have experimented with staffing models and come up with ideas and systems that have sparked dialogue about how we think of work.
Buyers of staffing services should take a look at the list. These folks are championing and promoting the value of contingents who are the very foundation of your profession.If you feel you know someone, a peer or a vendor, that deserves to be on the 2014 list, or to learn about the nominations and selection process, click here. This list is not a ranking. Our intention is to showcase those people who have made a difference — not just to the industry, but to the millions of people they have helped find work.

Sure, red is THE color of all things love and romance when it comes to Valentine's Day, but it's also so *eyeroll* predictable. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about finding love and falling deep in it, but this notion of head to toe Valentine's Day red is a bit much for me. And while I'm at it, I'm going to add hearts to the list. I'm talking about hearts in excess: in-your-face heart bling or sweaters with hearts that can be seen across town… in fog.
Here are 14 Valentine's Day alternatives, from dresses to accessories, that still say I want to get my lovey-dovey groove on without getting all "I Heart You" crazy (even if I really do and am too nervous to say so) on myself.
Break away from Valentine's Day red and insane heart mania with these subtle (but still very stylish and playful) options:
Alternatives for Red this Valentine's Day!

Voters stand in line to pick up their absentee ballots in Doral, Fla., Sunday, Nov. 4, 2012. Christina White, deputy supervisor with Miami-Dade County, said the county also decided to accept absentee ballots for four hours in November at its main office. (AP Photo/Alan Diaz)How Florida could reduce long lines to vote
As Political Insider Jeremy Wallace reports, Florida is looking at other states to see ways to expand voting opportunities and reduce lengthy lines and other hardships that discourage voting. Click through this slide show by using the arrows at the top right to see non-traditional polling places other states have embraced.
Early voting locations mimic retail strategy
In Nevada and Texas, elections officials say they are studying retail strategy and shopping behaviors like Starbucks or McDonalds would to figure out good locations to attract more customers. In Lubbock County, Texas (which is similar in size to Manatee County) voters have 20 early voting sites to pick from. If one has a long line, they just go a few miles to the next one where there may be a shorter line. By contrast, Manatee County had one voting location. (CLARK COUNTY NEVADA ELECTION DEPARTMENT)
In Texas they're voting in trailers
Voters stand in line for early voting outside the HEB grocerty store on South Congress Ave., in Austin, Texas, on Nov. 1. Texas allows voting in grocery stores, shopping malls and other locations Florida does not allow. (RODOLFO GONZALEZ / AMERICAN-STA
In grocery stores in Nevada
In Clark County, Nevada and Lubbock County, Texas, election officials say grocery stores give them space for free in early voting because in brings in more customers and makes businesses feel more part of the community. (CLARK COUNTY NEVADA ELECTION DEPARTMENT)
Malls in Las Vegas
In Las Vegas, election officials say early voting in malls still produce lines, but voters seems less frustrated because they are in a location where they more comfortable. (CLARK COUNTY NEVADA ELECTION DEPARTMENT)
Voting in parking lots
In Nevada and Texas, election officials have temporary early voting sites where they have trailers they set up in area parking lots. The flexibility is a big reason why the Las Vegas region has 81 percent voter turnout, election officials there say. (CLARK COUNTY NEVADA ELECTION DEPARTMENT)
Outside of box retailers
Big box retailers in Nevada typically allow election officials to set up for early voting in an unused section of a parking lot. Clark County Election official Larry Lomax said the goal is to make it so easy to vote, that it is hard not to stop. (CLARK COUNTY NEVADA ELECTION DEPARTMENT)
Vote at the mall? You bet!

Taurus/Scorpio axis
Rulers: Mars (Pluto) and Venus
Natural houses: 2nd/8th
On the Taurus/Scorpio axis we meet Mars and Venus again, although this time in their fixed, earth-water manifestations. As a fixed axis, the confrontation between Taurus and Scorpio can be particularly entrenched and unyielding. Naturally associated with the 2nd/8th house axis, the inherent conflict on this axis revolves around issues of resources and ownership, values and possessions, both personal and shared. Taurus is a gentle, peace-loving and practical sign, which prefers to stay within its own sphere of comfort. However, if this axis becomes particularly polarised on the Taurus end of the spectrum, then the simple, biological drive towards stability can become inert and stagnant. This inevitably evokes and stimulates the kind of intense crises that are associated with the sign of Scorpio, which breaks down fixed structures in the interests of growth and new life.
Audience: I have often wondered why Taureans seem to have such battles in relationships. I suppose this is what happens when they are identified with the Scorpio end of the spectrum?
Clare: That's right. When we start to think in terms of axes, then we
will start thinking of a Taurus person as being somewhere on the Taurus-Scorpio
axis, although we don't know exactly where until we have explored this
with them first. But this means that we will no longer be surprised if
we have a Taurus client who is consumed by intense and complex emotional
or relationship problems, sexual issues, power struggles, battles over
money and shared resources, and the like. None of these things belongs
to the sign of Taurus, which is very simple, stable and grounded, but they
are not uncommon themes with Taurean clients. I am using the term 'Taurean'
to describe a person who may not have the Sun in Taurus but could have
several planets in Taurus or in the 2nd house, or Taurus on the Ascendant.
In such cases, the Taurean can gradually restore their equilibrium by developing
a sound sense of self-worth, providing materially for themselves, cultivating
a fixity of purpose, a pride in their own accomplishments, and the courage
to defend themselves, rather than engaging in power struggles which appear
to be caused by the emotional demands of others.
A useful Taurus-Scorpio myth is that of King Midas, who was extremely wealthy. He was, we could say, identified entirely with the Taurus end of this axis. When he was granted a wish by the god Dionysus, he wished that everything he touched would turn to gold, and so it did. However, when he touched the flowers in his garden they turned to gold, and everything he tried to eat turned to gold, so he became increasingly hungry. Worst of all, his beloved daughter turned into gold when he accidentally touched her. Fortunately, and because King Midas was so full of remorse when he realised the consequences of his greed, Dionysus agreed to reverse the spell, and everything came to life again.
Walter Crane, 'King Midas and his daughter who has turned to gold', in Nathanial Hawthorn, A Wonder Book for Girls and Boys (1892), British Library
We could say that he realised that, without the destructive aspect of the life-force that belongs to Scorpio, everything would become static, incapable of change or growth. The point is that Taurus begets Scorpio, retention leads to release, incorporation to elimination, to ensure that nature remains in balance and that the life force is constantly regenerated.
Audience: What happens if this axis is reversed and the identification is on the Scorpio end? Can you give us an example of a Scorpio that needs to find its Taurus?
Clare: In this case the individual may seek to find their security and
self-worth through other people or other people's resources, rather than
their own. If we depend completely on others for our security and sense
of self-worth, then we have given our power to them, and we naturally feel
that they owe us something in return. If we have no sense of our own inner
intrinsic value or worth, we have nothing to contribute to the relationship.
The Scorpio client can therefore be extremely possessive, feeling that
other people are their possessions and that they belong to them, body and
soul. With such a great investment in the other, it is not surprising that,
before long, intense feelings of jealousy, suspicion and insecurity emerge.
The interesting thing about this is that possessiveness belongs to Taurus
and is not a Scorpio trait at all. In essence Scorpio is where we are forced
to surrender and let go. Scorpio does not hold onto things - it purges
and eliminates, because everything which no longer serves life has to die
to make way for new life.
The myth of Pluto and Persephone is relevant here because it harks back to the ancient seasonal rituals celebrating the relationship between life and death in nature. Taurus is springtime, celebrated in the fertility festival of Beltane at the beginning of May, when Persephone is said to make her annual return to the earth from the underworld and all of nature begins to thrive and grow. But at the opposite end of the year, in Scorpio time, marked by Samhain, the festival of death, Persephone returns to the underworld, her earth-mother Demeter goes into mourning, and everything in nature dies. Scorpio and Pluto signify the great organic processes of death and renewal. The life force ebbs and flows on a seasonal basis, since growth cannot continue indefinitely - nature has to be stripped bare in order to ensure renewed life. So the Taurus/Scorpio axis is one entire process, and we cannot really understand one without understanding the other.
Frederick Lord Leighton, 'The Return of Persephone' (1891)

Suggested Timeline-Entering Fall 2011
Level I Guidelines-Fall 2014
Level I Student Form
The Department of English offers undergraduate programs leading to the Bachelor of Arts degree. Students who graduate with a B.A., a B.A. with Writing Emphasis, or a B.A. with Secondary Certification have learned to read critically and write intelligently about literature and related fields. They will be familiar with works in drama, prose, and poetry from both the Western and non-Western traditions and have a knowledge of the structures of language, the genres in which literature is classified, the historical contexts of literature and the various methodologies that facilitate the analysis and understanding of literature. Most important, graduates in English have some insight into the world of ideas, their own and those of others.
Students in English begin their studies by enrolling in a core of introductory courses that gives them a basic, general understanding of literature. They continue their studies by enrolling in elective courses that allow in-depth examination of certain historical periods, literary movements and individual authors. Students will take a seminar and, upon approval, may work closely with an individual faculty member in the writing of a senior thesis. The English department also offers a variety of internships.
More career opportunities are opening for college and university graduates who can read and write well. Because success in most professions demands effective thinking, the study of English is excellent preparation for careers in law, medicine, education, technical writing, journalism, theology, personnel, marketing, management, administration, publishing, and writing. Few majors prepare students so well for a variety of careers as English does.
For assessment and career development purposes, all English majors are required to maintain a portfolio representing their written work in courses at all levels (including ENG107 and a course at the 200, 300 and 400 levels).
Designated courses may double-count for the Historical Focus and Multicultural requirements; however, total hours for the requirement do not change. See course descriptions in the department advising material; designations change each semester, depending upon course content.
Students receiving certification must take one course in world literature (ENG240 or ENG385).
All students completing a Bachelor of Arts degree are required to attain proficiency in a foreign language. Proficiency may be satisfied by completing a language class at the 103 (intermediate) level or three years of any one foreign language in high school. Students may also meet this requirement through AP testing or CLEP testing.

Make-Ahead Recipes to Freeze for the Holidays
by Lois Breneman

Frugal Holiday Baking and Recipes
Frugal Holiday Decorating Ideas
Best Christmas Ever
Since we all could use extra hours around the holidays, any shortcuts we can apply in our kitchen will give us more time and energy to be used elsewhere. Here are a few ways of trimming down our kitchen time and energy over Thanksgiving and Christmas.
If using a frozen turkey or turkey breast, be sure to give it a couple days in the refrigerator for safe thawing. For a juicy turkey or turkey breast, place a grapefruit, orange or lemon inside the cavity prior to roasting. Pierce the fruit to prevent it from bursting, and simply cook it as usual. You are "guaranteed" a juicy bird each time and there is no citrus or orange flavor in the turkey. I don't know how this works, but it does. You simply take the fruit and dispose of it after roasting. Obviously, you don't stuff this bird, but it works great to have a separate casserole dish of stuffing as a side dish. I have tried this and it works great!
Make-Ahead Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes can be cooked and mashed ahead of time, then frozen. When sweet potatoes are on sale, I like to stock up, because the prices fluctuate greatly. Autumn is when we find the best prices in the US. Bake the washed sweet potatoes in a Dutch oven or roaster pan with a small amount of water for moisture. Bake at 350 F. for about an hour (check for tenderness). When cool enough to handle, peel, mash and freeze in freezer bags. It's as simple as that! I like to freeze sweet potatoes without salt or seasoning, so they can be used for sweet potato casseroles, muffins and pies, though freezing a casserole flavored with ingredients such as butter, brown sugar, cinnamon or cranberries also works very well. It's wonderful to go to the freezer and take out a dish already prepared, except for heating!
Mashed Potato Casserole
Five or ten pound bags of white potatoes are often "Buy One, Get One Free," so in order to take advantage of these special prices, without them spoiling, you can cook, mash and freeze them into multiple casseroles for later. This is a delicious and convenient recipe from the "More-With-Less Cookbook" by Doris Janzen Longacre. If your family does not like spinach, try substituting grated carrots or other vegetables, although it is very good plain, with vegetables served on the side. If potatoes are the only vegetable your children will eat, try mashing a few cooked carrots or some sweet potato in with the white potatoes. When I've done this, my family thought I had added cheese. A sprinkle of dried dill weed before baking adds extra flavor and color.
Cook and mash: 3 to 4 large potatoes.
1/3 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
1 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
1/2 tsp. sugar (given in recipe, but not necessary)
1/4 cup butter
Add just enough milk to bring to proper consistency and beat until fluffy.
1/8 tsp. dill seed
2 tsp. chives, chopped
1 cup cooked spinach, well drained, chopped
Place in greased casserole and top with 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese. May be made a day or two ahead and refrigerated, or make a double recipe and freeze half to add to a future oven meal.
Frozen Cranberry Salad
1 2-pound can crushed pineapple, drained
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1 cup sour cream
Mix together and put in ice cube trays or in a 9x9 glass dish. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top. Freeze overnight. Can be used for salad or dessert.
Frozen Individual Cranberry Molds
1 can whole cranberry sauce
1/2 cup sugar (or less)
8 oz. crushed pineapple with juice
1 cup chopped pecans
8 oz. sour cream
Mix together all ingredients and freeze in muffin cups.
* Either cranberry recipe is a great make-ahead salad or dessert for Thanksgiving or Christmas! Of course, either recipe can be frozen in a large mold, glass dish, muffin cups, custard cups or individual molds.
Dressing or Stuffing
I like to make a large dishpan full of stuffing at Thanksgiving, so I can freeze the extra and completely skip the process for Christmas as it's already done! I don't really use a recipe for this, but make it as my mother always did. Cube bread (whole wheat and white mixture) and let it dry out on a large tray for a day or so. Sometimes I dry it in a dishpan, stirring occasionally over a 2 to 3 day period. Melt butter, add chicken broth, beaten eggs, lots of cooked celery and onions (sometimes a small amount of grated carrots for color), salt, onion salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, other dried herbs (parsley, Greek oregano, thyme, rosemary or tarragon, etc.). Stir well. Add enough bread crumbs for a slightly moist mixture. I bake it in a greased dish, (rather than in the bird) at 350 F. until golden brown on top. Don't over bake. The unbaked stuffing mixture will freeze great in containers or freezer bags to serve later.
Pumpkin Cake
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup oil
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups flour
2 cups pumpkin (1 lb. Can)
Cream sugar, eggs, and oil until all traces of oil are gone. Add dry ingredients. Mix. Add pumpkin and mix. Pour into a greased and floured bundt pan and bake at 350 F. for 1 hour, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
3 oz. cream cheese
1 tsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. butter
2 cups confectioners sugar
Confetti Corn
If you want to save last minute meal preparation, cut a couple pats of butter into a microwavable casserole dish. Add finely chopped fresh or frozen green pepper, a jar of chopped pimento, dill weed and frozen corn. Cover and put dish in the freezer. On the day you are ready to serve the corn, take from freezer and microwave as you normally microwave corn. Add salt to taste just before serving. To cook on top of the stove, add a small amount of water first. This is a quick, tasty and colorful dish -- yellow with red and green!

Did you state your price and say that it was final? How about eBay?
Cisco Pix 506E... I have one for sale...craigslist just gets me low-ball offers and spam regarding the ad. Any suggestions how I could sell it??
I would greatly appreciate it!
Did you state your price and say that it was final? How about eBay?
I have not tried e bay yet...I am asking 500 for it, down from 600.
Recently found out that it was a discontinued item from the Cisco website. Does that hurt its' value? I saw it @ shopping.com selling for 615 bucks. I do not know if it was used or refurbished or not...
Yes, once a model is EOL (End of Life) the value drops really fast. Do some research and set a good price. eBay new and used prices would be a good indicator of the price the market has set.

|Crowd Overflows Moral Monday Rally
The parking lot was full to overflowing, as was the Harvest House with over 600 people attending the "Forward Together/Moral Monday" event in Boone yesterday. At times, the event had the feeling of a pep rally, at others, a gospel camp meeting, but throughout the message was clear—
to start the political push back against policies passed by the state legislature in this past session. Dr. Matt Robinson, criminal justice professor at Appalachian State University reminded the crowd of local issues, "Or how about right here in Watauga County, where our election board combined three precincts into a massive new one—one that has 9000 voters and only 28 parking spaces. One that's a 17 minute walk from campus with no sidewalks and no bus service. How about moving another precinct to a different location. How about limiting early voting. How about closing the precinct at Appalachian State University." In the end, one of the organizers, Rev. Tommy Brown, Presbyterian campus minister said the rally was a start, "I think the energy's great. This is just the start—the continuation of a movement that will continue. There are going to be changes that we're going to be a part of making. The energy that starts here—we've got to keep it going—we've got to keep it going for a long time. So this is the first of movements and marches and energy that is going to continue here in Watauga County and throughout the state and I plan to be a part of it and I hope everybody who has been here today will be a part of it as well."

I'd think partition magic would just relocate the files when you change partition sizes.
It wouldn't be a good idea for the developers of the software to also modify the contents of your configuration files too. They really wouldn't have any idea about what you want to achieve.
Manually editing files after the fact may be tedious, but it makes sure you have full control.

The Inaugural Web in Travel (WIT) Conference in Indonesia
The Inaugural Web in Travel (WIT) Conference in Indonesia
27 Mar 2013 Start At: 09:00 Until: 18:00
The captivating beauty and abundance in adventure opportunities offered by Indonesia's tourism has attracted the Web in Travel (WIT) to stage the first ever WIT Conference in Indonesia. In collaboration with Kibar Kreasi, an Indonesian digital specialist, the one-day WIT Indonesia will be held at the Pullman Central Park, Jakarta on 27th March 2013, with Accor Asia-Pacific as foundation partner.
Themed "Hot Hebat Heboh" (Hot –Awesome-Buzzing) , the one-day program will focus in on what's hot, awesome and 'buzzy' about Indonesia's travel market – from its projected 100 million Internet users by 2015 to how social networks and mobile applications are developing distinctly in a market where consumers are obsessed with networking and IT devices.
The event will feature speakers from some of the most influential names in today's travel related and digital business including Agoda, Accor, Circos Brand Karma, Eztravel.co.id, Google, Go Indonesia, Infor, MakeMyTrip, Queen's Road Capital, Raja Kamar International, Tiket.com, Wego Indonesia, Sabre Hospitality Solutions, and Venture Republic.
"With the strong interest in Indonesia's e-commerce and online travel developments, the time is right to hold a WIT in one of Asia's biggest travel markets," said Yeoh Siew Hoon, founder and editor of WIT as quoted from webintravel.com. "After China and India, Indonesia, with 248 million people, is the next powerhouse and it is developing so differently from other markets. It's time to get under the skin of this key market," added Siew Hoon.
Indonesia has 237 million population; 73 million Internet users by 2014; 45 million Facebook members; 20 million Twitter accounts – out of 50 million daily tweets, 6 million are from Indonesia; 60% of web access from mobile, these statistics speak for themselves showing Indonesia as the strongest e-commerce growth in South-east Asia.
Beyond numbers, real change is taking place underneath the surface. Customer behavior is changing. Distribution and marketing is evolving. Travel suppliers have to adapt. Intermediaries are stepping up their game in a market that's as unique as it is different in how it is developing. Addressing these issues, the conference will bring together foreign and Indonesian experts in travel distribution, marketing and technology to discuss and exchange knowledge and ideas about the online space and what you need to know to engage with the new Indonesian consumer.

Being privately owned and run, privateers did not take orders from the Naval command. The letter of marque of a privateer would typically limit activity to a specific area and to the ships of specific nations. Typically, the owners or captain would be required to post a performance bond against breaching these conditions, or they might be liable to pay damages to an injured party. In the United Kingdom, letters of marque were revoked for various offences.
Conditions on board privateers varied widely. Some crews were treated as harshly as naval crews of the time, while others followed the comparatively relaxed rules of merchant ships. Some crews were made up of professional merchant seamen, others of pirates, debtors, and convicts.
Some privateers ended up becoming pirates, not just in the eyes of their enemies but also of their own nations. William Kidd, for instance, began as a legitimate British privateer but was later hanged for piracy.
The Paris Declaration Respecting Maritime Law of 16 April 1856 was issued to abolish privateering. It regulated the relationship between neutral and belligerent and shipping on the high seas introducing new.
England, and later the United Kingdom, used privateers to great effect and suffered much from other nations' privateering. During the 15th century, "piracy became an increasing problem and merchant communities such as Bristol began to resort to self-help, arming and equipping ships at their own expense to protect commerce." These privately owned merchant ships, licensed by the crown, could legitimately take vessels that were deemed pirates. This constituted a "revolution in naval strategy" and helped fill the need for protection that the current administration was unable to provide as it "lacked an institutional structure and coordinated finance."
The increase in competition for crews on armed merchant vessels and privateers was due, in a large part, because of the chance for a considerable payoff. "Whereas a seaman who shipped on a naval vessel was paid a wage and provided with victuals, the mariner on a merchantman or privateer was paid with an agreed share of the takings."This proved to be a far more attractive prospect and privateering flourished as a result.
During Queen Elizabeth's reign, she "encouraged the development of this supplementary navy." Over the course of her rule, she had "allowed Anglo-Spanish relations to deteriorate" to the point where one could argue that a war with the Spanish was inevitable. By using privateers, if the Spanish were to take offense at the plundering of their ships.
Queen Elizabeth could always deny she had anything to do with the actions of such independents. Some of the most famous privateers that later fought in the Anglo-Spanish War (1585–1604) included the Sea Dogs.(wikipedia.org)

JoUSHairDark BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairWorks Well But Spendy....I've been using this product for a couple years now after I switched from Tigi Catwalk's Curls Rock line. The product works great and smells amazing! My hair is definitely more defined when I use it, though it doesn't completely take out the frizz (I wasn't really expecting it to though). What originally attracted me to it was that it didn't contain laurel Sulfate, which can be very damaging to all hair types but especially curly hair types. My biggest gripe would be the price. It's pretty spendy considering the size of the bottle, but I go to pretty great lengths for my hair. I use it with the Foxy Curls Contour Cream, which I would definitely also recommend.10 out of 10 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

The year is 1984 and the city is Tokyo.
A young woman named Aomame follows a taxi driver's enigmatic suggestion and begins to notice puzzling discrepancies in the world around her. She has entered, she realizes, a parallel existence, which she calls 1Q84 - "Q" is for "question mark". A world that bears a question.
Meanwhile, an aspiring writer named Tengo takes on a suspect ghostwriting project. He becomes so wrapped up with the work and its unusual author that, soon, his previously placid life begins to come unraveled.
As Aomame's and Tengo's narratives converge over the course of this single year, we learn of the profound and tangled connections that bind them ever closer: a beautiful, dyslexic teenage girl with a unique vision; a mysterious religious cult that instigated a shoot-out with the metropolitan police; a reclusive, wealthy dowager who runs a shelter for abused women; a hideously ugly private investigator; a mild-mannered yet ruthlessly efficient bodyguard; and a peculiarly insistent television-fee collector.
A love story, a mystery, a fantasy, a novel of self-discovery, a dystopia to rival George Orwell's, 1Q84 is Haruki Murakami's most ambitious undertaking yet: an instant best seller in his native Japan, and a tremendous feat of imagination from one of our most revered contemporary writers.
BONUS AUDIO: Audible interviews the translators of 1Q84, Jay Rubin and Philip Gabriel.
VIDEO: Our narrators step in front of the camera to read your thoughts on Murakami.
©2011 Haruki Murakami (P)2011 Audible, Inc.
"Murakami is like a magician who explains what he's doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers.... But while anyone can tell a story that resembles a dream, it's the rare artist, like this one, who can make us feel that we are dreaming it ourselves." (The New York Times Book Review)
"Profound . . . A multilayered narrative of loyalty and loss . . . A fully articulated vision of a not-quite-nightmare world . . . A big sprawling novel [that] achieves what is perhaps the primary function of literature: to reimagine, to reframe, the world . . . At the center of [1Q84's] reality . . . is the question of love, of how we find it and how we hold it, and the small fragile connections that sustain us, even (or especially) despite the odds . . . This is a major development in Murakami's writing . . . A vision, and an act of the imagination." (David L. Ulin, Los Angeles Times)
"1Q84 is one of those books that disappear in your hands, pulling you into its mysteries with such speed and skill that you don't even notice as the hours tick by and the mountain of pages quietly shrinks . . . I finished 1Q84 one fall evening, and when I set it down, baffled and in awe, I couldn't help looking out the window to see if just the usual moon hung there or if a second orb had somehow joined it. It turned out that this magical novel did not actually alter reality. Even so, its enigmatic glow makes the world seem a little strange long after you turn the last page. Grade: A." (Rob Brunner, Entertainment Weekly)
"Slow, Strange, and (ultimately) Satisfying"
I have been a Murakami fan for years and I have listened to many of his other titles. I waited months before listening to 1Q84 because I was reluctant to spend weeks listening to a single book. When I did listen to it I often questioned my judgment because the story is SO SLOW. When you have over 46 hours to tell a story, an author has a lot of time on his hands. In spite of this reservation, I want to acknowledge that Murakami is such a gifted writer that he uses that time to richly develop and explore the lives of the two main characters.
True to form, Murakami works his magic and finds a way to draw the listener in to his strange world. By the end of this book I was finally intrigued and I looked forward to the last 8 hours (!). Ultimately, it was satisfying. I must admit, however, when I turned off this book for the last time, I asked myself if this was the best use of my 46 hours, 50 minutes. Interestingly, since I finished this book weeks ago, I have thought about it very little.
For those who are curious about Murakami but are reluctant to start a book of this length, I would recommend some of this other titles - especially Kafka by the Shore or Norwegian Wood.
"A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one." - Jojen Reed. #ADanceWithDragons
"Hard to Find Fault"
This is one of those books that have been getting rave reviews from bibliophile or rather anyone who is a fan of modern literature. The book appealed to me for a number of reasons but for some strange reason I never got around to give it a try until recently. I wasn't disappointed...
The first thing you find right off the bat is how well Haruki Murakami is able to use words to paint a picture. And I am no referring to a half baked imagery that leaves you to fill in the blanks but he fully attempts to describe the scenery in such a way that your entire senses seem to be a part of it. This can cause someone to get impatient and skip past these moments and lose one of the things that make this novel really special.... that amazing attention to detail.
Keep in mind whilst going through this novel that originally this was actually three books. 1Q84 was actually released as three separate books (Book 1, Book 2 and Book 3) and so while it might seem really long, keeping in mind that it originally was three separate books it's actually pretty normal in terms of length (and also bang for your buck seeing that you're buying three books in one). This is one of those books where patience is a good thing, just sit back and enjoy the ride, don't watch the hours spent going through the book just enjoy the actual journey. I can assure you by the time the book actually ends you will be begging for more once you really allow yourself to enjoy it.
1Q84 is, at worst, one of the most imaginative story lines I have ever really come across. Haruki Murakami weaves an elaborate and immaculate storyline with interesting, flawed characters each with their own back story. Even these minor characters are developed in a way that leaves you feeling satisfied in the end. I am seriously impressed as to how Haruki Murakami came up with the storyline and the time and energy that was invested in creating this piece of work, if this is the style of Japanese writers I would hope that more can be translated to English.
The narration in this book takes some getting used to, especially the voice of Allison Hiroto which can quite literally put you to sleep with how soft and gentle it comes off. After an hour or two though all the voices just seem to lay on you like high quality satin sheets (another sleep reference but without it actually putting you to sleep). Once the story picks up you get gripped and caught up with the way the narrators still seem to be so patient in their delivery but yet somewhat wishing they would pick up the pace. Truth be told though, you likely won't increase the tempo at this point because you would have gotten so used to the pace you won't mind it at all.
I truly can just go on and on about this book for the mere fact that it was done so exceptionally well. When I can write a review this long it means I either really enjoyed or really disliked it... and this book.... I LOVED!
I rate as follows: 5 Stars = Loved it. 4 Stars = Really liked it. 3 Stars = Liked it. 2 Stars = Didn't like it. 1 Star = Hated it.
This was my first book by Haruki Murakami, and it was an extraordinary experience. At one point in the book, while discussing one of the main characters, it states that something "Had shaken his heart from a strange angle". And I think that's a good description of how this book affected me. It shook my heart from a strange angle.
I've never read a book quite like this one; it was unique. It has a certain moral ambiguity to it, especially in the first half. This caught me off guard and was unsettling, but it did fade to a much lesser issue as the story progressed.
The story weaves common threads throughout the book; opening up questions on themes of loneliness, the vacuums left by people or loss (and whether these can or should be filled), both the damage and comfort of religion, how our childhood scars affect us as adults (and how much power we should allow them to have) and the very thin line - the delicate balance - between Right and Wrong, Good and Bad.
Mostly, however, the book is a deep mystery that pulls you into it's dark running current and carries you along. I know some of the other reviews did not appreciate or enjoy Ms. Hiroto's narration, but I loved it and couldn't imagine the story without it. I thought it was exquisite, as was the performance of the other narrators as well.
The stunning, stark, simple honesty that was the hallmark of any conversation held by the character of Tengo was my favorite aspect of the book. It's hard to describe, but the character always speaks and replies to questions with no pretense, no pride... it really impacted me.
Especially towards the second half of the book, there were sudden twists of humor that were a welcome gift; inspiring short, unexpected guffaws.
Yes, the book can be unsettling on many levels; but it's also very impactful. I'll never forget my time in 1Q84, under the two moons.
"This again???"
If you've read one story about a female exercise therapist/hitman, looking for random casual sex while searching for the man of her dreams, who enters a parallel existence with two moons in the sky only to kill the leader of a religious cult that hears voices from little people who come out of a dead goat's mouth and make duplicate copies of people, you've read them all.
Seriously, if you like weird, and I do, you'll like this.
When I like something I'll let you know. If I don't, I'll let you know that too!
"Worth the investment."
1Q84 is a fantastically interesting and long story - emphasis on both the interesting and the long. Well crafted with interestingly odd characters placed in mystical circumstance. The narration is spot-on, I enjoyed each of them and their performances contribute to the enjoyment of this story. The sound engineering could have been better, because it is noticeable when an edited retake was placed into the performance. Not your typical Audible production values.
"Interesting, worthwhile read"
Surreal. Interesting. Long.
I've never read any other book like this.
The narrator spoke Wayyyyy too slowly. I wanted to yell,
There's really only one reality...but what is it?
I would recommend this book to someone who has patience and is not looking for a fast-paced or suspense -filled story. It was very long but I finished it without regret.
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
"Cant get it out of my Head"
This book moves into your heart and mind and stays. It has been months since I've finished this book and I'm still thinking about the wonder of it all. The poetic fantasy realism of it (and I know that doesn't make sense but in the context of this book I feel it is a fit).
The only reason I didn't give the narrators 5 stars is because I think Murakami should please insist upon Japanese narrators. American accents detract a wee bit.
This author is quickly becoming a favorite.
J.F., CA. I am a voracious "bookaholic" who enjoys many different genres. I am often listening to/reading multiple books at the same time.
"A truly great work!"
This book is such a great listen. The plot is fresh, different and so multi textured. The characters are complex and well developed. Although the story is very long, it keeps you well engaged. The different sub-plots takes a while to merge but each protagonist's story is so interestiing on its on that it is ok. The pace and cadence at which the story is told are also just right. I hope there is another book from this author that is translated in English. I will be searching. You won't be disappointed with this book and you are getting a lot for just one Audible credit. By the way, the narrators did a great job too!!!
"I can't believe I listened to the whole thing..."
And I don't know why. Maybe because I had already made it through about fifteen hours of pointless, over-written, repetitive boredom so that I was determined to discover why this industrial-strength long novel garnered such glowing reviews. And I didn't want to be left out of the intelligent appreciation club.
But...I literally walked away while the narration was going on and then would come back to be hearing the same monologue over and over again in every different form---the character thinks it, then the character does it, then the character thinks about it again, then the character talks to another character about it, then the character thinks about it... . I never missed anything.
And maybe it was the translation, but the constant (and I mean constant) repetition of the characters' names, over and over again, was truly irritating. Speaking of the translation, so much of this novel seemed so "Westernized" to me with little reference to anything Japanese except maybe food. That might have been purposeful, but it robbed the atmosphere of any Asian flavor. And don't get me started on the author's obsession with breasts and pubic hair.
I actually appreciate that others liked this novel, but it sure wasn't meant for me. I need to listen to something light and frothy where things actually happen.
I haven't read any of the author's other works, nor do I know anything about him except what the translators say at the conclusion, but I don't think I'm going to try.
This is the most monotonous work I have ever encountered. The slooooow reading of the female narrator who pauses to OVER stress every descriptive word in the book makes you feel like the print she read must have CA..PI..TAL..IZED each one. Like listening to a teacher read out loud to a preschool class, where each syllable is stressed separately to help the kids "sound out" the words on the page in front of them. The male narrator is actually good and that is the only nice thing I can say about this book.
The story itself doesn't help. Nothing ever happens. Or something very interesting happens, but the author skims over it with one brief comment and then goes into excruciating detail about some other minutia, like what they ate, how it was prepared, what was on the side, what spice was used to season it, how much was used, and how was it chopped, course or fine, and then lists a metaphor about how course or fine, why it was chopped that way...blah blah blah. Even the rare event that can not be classified as day to day minutia is interesting at best- like a dream that doesn't make sense, but is so odd that it makes an impression anyway, even if it is disjointed and has no real meaning.
It is so insanely verbose... I just listened to a 15 minute passage about Aomami considering buying a goldfish and deciding on a rubber tree instead (which we already know is the outcome), I fast forwarded 10 minutes and she was still thinking about it when i resumed. That's where I quit the book after about 30 hours. The author repeats everything and repeats it and repeats it. It makes me want to scream. Every time he mentions the fish- its not just "fish" it is the gold fish that she saw on this date that she considered buying after she saw someone else's goldfish, in this particular store, in this location, next to that other place, where she eventually bought a rubber tree, which was a sad specimen- as if you could possibly have forgotten what fish he was talking about a half sentence ago, and the state of the rubber tree has anything to do with the stupid fish! At one point he describes Leader breathing deeply - it takes him over 10 minutes to do it- and the word deeply must be repeated 20 times. Reading this book is like grading a whole 6th grade classes' answers to a vocabulary test- he gives you a word; list a simile, a metaphor, a synonym, use it in a sentence, then repeat 28 times. I'm not kidding. He goes so far that in all of the dialog between Tengo and Fukaeri, Tengo literally repeats verbatim every word Fukaeri just finished saying before adding his comment. All of the other dialog is like this to a slightly lesser, but no less irritating, extent.
Not only does the author describe what IS there with every possible word that might be applicable - but he then proceeds list everything it can not be... There IS a second moon. It could not be a plane. It could not be a star, it could not be a comet, it could not be his imagination, it could not be a trick of the light... I GET IT ALREADY! MOVE ON! like some twisted 50 hour non-rhyming version of green eggs and ham.
It should have been a 200 page book. Seems like in the process of editing the author wrote each word, each sentence, each thought a dozen different ways and couldn't decide which he liked best, so just left them all- just in case you are a complete nincompoop and didn't understand the first 11 times he described it.
In addition, I can't relate to any of the characters. It may be a cultural thing, but their behavior, thought process, acceptance or disbelief, none of it makes any sense to me.
I really suffered during the 30 hours I stuck with this book becasue of the positive reviews. I hope I can save someone else the same suffering.

20 U.S. Code § 1232c - State agency monitoring and enforcement
prev | next
(a) State plan
In the case of any applicable program in which Federal funds are made available to local agencies in a State through or under the supervision of a State board or agency, the Secretary may require the State to submit a plan for monitoring compliance by local agencies with Federal requirements under such program and for enforcement by the State of such requirements. The Secretary may require such plan to provide—
(1) for periodic visits by State personnel of programs administered by local agencies to determine whether such programs are being conducted in accordance with such requirements;
(2) for periodic audits of expenditures under such programs by auditors of the State or other auditors not under the control, direction, or supervision of the local educational agency; and
(b) State enforcement of Federal requirements
In order to enforce the Federal requirements under any applicable program the State may—
(1) withhold approval, in whole or in part, of the application of a local agency for funds under the program until the State is satisfied that such requirements will be met; except that the State shall not finally disapprove such an application unless the State provides the local agency an opportunity for a hearing before an impartial hearing officer and such officer determines that there has been a substantial failure by the local agency to comply with any of such requirements;
(2) suspend payments to any local agency, in whole or in part, under the program if the State has reason to believe that the local agency has failed substantially to comply with any of such requirements, except that
(A) the State shall not suspend such payments until fifteen days after the State provides the local agency an opportunity to show cause why such action should not be taken and

It will be a three-sport night Tuesday for the Watertown City Council.
Council members are expected to wrap up the agreements with the three main sports teams that use the Alex T. Duffy Fairgrounds: the Thousand Islands Privateers minor league hockey team, the Watertown Rams collegiate baseball team, and the Red and Black minor league football team.
Its the first time the council will consider all three agreements on the same night.
The Privateers are playing their first season at the fairgrounds after moving from the Bonnie Castle Recreation Center, Alexandria Bay.
Elliott B. Nelson, assistant to the city manager, worked on the agreements with Parks and Recreation Superintendent Erin E. Gardner.
There is a lot of consistency to make them equal, and it made sense to do them all at once, Mr. Elliott said.
All three teams came to the city about the same time to pursue new agreements, Mrs. Gardner said. Rams co-owner Todd Kirkey said Friday that he believes the council will act on the agreement Tuesday, despite the teams sometimes rocky relationship with the city.
I dont see a problem, he said. I think itll be good.
There are just a few changes in all three agreements. The biggest involves when the teams would have to pay the city.
As the Privateers have been doing since last fall, the Rams (formerly the Wizards) and the Red and Black would have to pay before their respective seasons to use the facilities, Mrs. Gardner said. The flat fees for field use and rental space would increase for the Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League franchise and the football team. Ice time for the Privateers would go up from $70 an hour to $80.
The Rams also would pay a flat fee of $3,000 for advertising at the ballfield. Under the previous agreement, the baseball team paid for each sign installed, making it difficult for the Parks and Recreation staff to administer, according to a memo to council members from Mr. Nelson.
The city would receive all food concessions, while the three teams would receive revenues for alcohol sales.
The City Council spent much of 2011 sorting out the way the Parks Department handled financial matters after council members learned the department failed to collect tens of thousands of dollars over the years in unpaid bills from its users.
The council will meet Tuesday because City Hall, 245 Washington St., is closed today for Martin Luther King Day. The meeting will be at 7 p.m. in the third-floor council chambers.

Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center
In 2013, Hennepin County Medical Center (HCMC) was re-verified as a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons (ACS). This verification—the highest possible—recognizes HCMC's distinctive expertise in caring for critically ill and injured children, which we acquired through years of experience. In 1989, we became Minnesota's first Level I Trauma Center for both adults and children. Since then we have continued a strong tradition of providing state-of-the-art trauma care to all of our patients, including the youngest and most vulnerable.
What does it mean to be a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center?
When the worst happens, you don't want to waste precious minutes while your child is transferred from place to place. Hospitals such as HCMC that are officially Level I Pediatric Trauma Centers have everything in place and ready to care for seriously injured children from the time of injury through rehabilitation. This high level of preparation can significantly increase a seriously injured patient's chances of survival.
What are some of the requirements that HCMC met in order to be verified as a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center?
HCMC is regularly inspected by the American College of Surgeons (ACS), a national trauma organization. Level I verification means that we maintain the staff, skills, facilities, and equipment necessary to provide the highest level of surgical care to injured children—24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Additionally, as a Level I center, we have excellent education and research programs as well as preventive and outreach programs. To learn more about our trauma prevention programs, many of which address injuries that occur in children, visit our Trauma Prevention page. We are the Minnesota site for the Injury Free Coalition for Kids, which is a national organization that aims to prevent childhood injuries through an evidence-based approach. We also serve as a referral resource for communities in the metro area and greater Minnesota as well as North Dakota and South Dakota.
What are the fundamental services HCMC offers as a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center?
- 24-hour in-house coverage by general surgeons
- Prompt availability of physicians from varying specialties: orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery, plastic surgery, anesthesiology, emergency medicine, radiology, oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatric critical care
- A pediatric operating room that is always available
- Priority status for pediatric lab work and radiology
- Experienced, highly trained pediatric trauma nursing staff and trauma nurse clinicians
What sets HCMC apart from other Level I Pediatric Trauma Centers?
A particular area of expertise at HCMC is neurotrauma. We have a nationally recognized Traumatic Brain Injury Center, which includes the Pediatric Brain Injury Program. This program caters to children who have sustained traumatic brain injuries ranging from mild concussions to more severe injuries that require emergent surgical intervention.
If HCMC was previously providing Level I trauma care to children, why was it recently verified as a Level I Pediatric Trauma Center?
Though HCMC has been providing trauma services for many years, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) recently changed their pediatric trauma criteria and encouraged adult trauma centers that also took care of many children to pursue a separate verification.

Oviedo police arrested the husband of the Oviedo City Manager after they say he was stalking his estranged wife, despite a restraining order.
44-year-old William Breazeale, a pilot for Airtran Airways, has been charged with aggravated stalking, cyber stalking, harassment and making a credible threat to a person to his estranged wife, Kathryn Breazeale, even after a restraining order had been filed in November 2012.
According to arrest records, Kathryn Breazeale told authorities her husband's stalking had gotten so bad she didn't feel safe at work. The report states William Breazeale has followed her to places where she's been on official city business and at her church.
A judge gave William Breazeale bond, but ruled Breazeale will have to wear a GPS monitor to make sure he doesn't go near his wife again.
