Stephen Colbert is known for cracking jokes, but last night, he shared his vulnerable side with fans while talking about his beloved mother.
On Thursday, the Comedy Central funnyman took a few moments on "The Stephen Colbert Report" to reminisce about his mom, Lorna Tuck Colbert, who passed away last week at the age of 92.
Colbert managed to get through the entire tribute without breaking down in tears, but it's clear that the TV personality is still mourning the loss.
Check out the video above to see all the sweet things Stephen says about his mother.
"I know it may sound greedy to want more days with a person who lived so long," he explained. "But the fact that my mother was 92 does not diminish it; it only magnifies the enormity of the room whose door has now quietly shut."
We're sure she's very proud of her son.
What do you think of Stephen's tribute? Tell toofab in the comment section below.

Body of Work: The Ballerina
In celebration of National Women's History Month, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre principal dancer Alexandra Kochis, Ballet Mistress Marianna Tcherkassky, and Director of Marketing Aimee Waeltz present an open and interactive dialogue with audience members on ballet's historical interactions with women and the female body. Join us as we explore the implications of "the cult of the ballerina" on the art form and its audiences, how ballet has reinforced and broken down traditional gender roles and stereotypes, and the perceptions (and misconceptions) of ballerinas in the larger cultural and social world. Lastly, delve into how gender and relationships are portrayed in PBT's upcoming performance of Jardin Aux Lilas (Lilac Garden) by Antony Tudor, part of PBT's mixed repertoire production Unspoken at the August Wilson Center, March 8-17.
The program will take place at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, Main (Oakland), 4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. On-street, metered parking is available around the perimeter of the library or in a pay lot adjacent to the Library and the Carnegie Museums (entrance on Forbes Avenue).

Marcel Dionne last played for the Kings in 1987, but he says he feels as connected as ever to that franchise as it continues to celebrate its first Stanley Cup championship.
"It's basically closing a chapter in my hockey life right now. It's unbelievable. To all the players that every played this... I think they're all happy because it was a great place to play there... great satisfaction, great hockey fans."
The feeling is likely mutual as Dionne's number 16 hangs from the rafters in the Staples Center. He's one of five Kings to have his number retired and ranks fifth all time in NHL scoring with 1771 points.
Dionne accomplished a great deal in 12 seasons with the Kings. He could not win a Stanley Cup during that time. He told 2-On-Your-Side' Adam Benigni that watching the current Kings finally accomplish that feat meant a great deal.
"We have a big connection there. The fans you look... they still wear your jerseys and your colors. I'm saying closure for myself. I said I couldn't do it there... Wayne (Gretzky) couldn't do it there... Luc (Robitaille) didn't do it there. It's not because we didn't want it to happen, but finally these guys made it happen. I've got some blood in that cup too... believe me."
Dionne continues to operate a sports memorabilia store in Niagara Falls, Ontario.

POTSDAM - Two Wilson Farms/Sugar Creek stores that were purchased by the 7-Eleven chain of convenience stores in 2011 have closed their doors.
The stores on Market Street in Potsdam and state Route 56 in Norwood were among the 188 stores in New York that were purchased by 7-Eleven two years ago.
Neither of the stores were among the five north country locations recently purchased by Stewarts Shops.
Charles J. Marshall, who works as a real estate developer for Stewarts said the chain purchased Wilson Farms/Sugar Creeks second Potsdam location on Maple Street, as well as stores in Heuvelton, Watertown, Lake Placid and Keeseville.
Mr. Marshall said Stewarts isnt planning to close any of the stores and is actually planning additions for both of the St. Lawrence County locations. He said theyll be going before the Potsdam Planning Board on May 2.
The addition, he said will allow the store to have a walk-in cooler and freezer. A smaller addition is also being planned for the store in Heuvelton, but Mr. Marshall said customers at that store will likely notice little, if any difference.
Things that have changed, though, include merchandise offerings.
The first week we let the transition happen, he said.
Then they began rolling out small changes like offering Stewarts brand products and ice cream, including the make your own sundae bar that Stewarts is known for.
Officials with Wilson Farms deferred comment to 7-Eleven, who did not return a telephone message left Friday afternoon.
A third Wilson Farms/Sugar Creek store in Gouverneur that was not purchased by Stewarts is remaining open, although an employee who answered the phone there Friday afternoon said the store would be closing on April 18 for a transitional period before reopening under new ownership.

EDWARDS A fire destroyed a four-unit building of Edwards Senior Court Apartments at 16 Trout Lake St. on Saturday morning.
Edwards Fire Chief Richard B. Thornton said no one was injured, but the building was a total loss.
He said that the cause of the fire was electrical. St. Lawrence County Fire Investigator W. Joseph Lacks said a night light plugged into the wall between units C and D likely is to blame.
Mr. Lacks said the fire shot up the wall and into the attic, which lacked firewalls. If the building had been equipped with firewalls in the ceilings, the horizontal spread of the fire would have been slowed, likely reducing the fires damage, Mr. Lacks said.
Joining Edwards Fire Department and Gouverneur Rescue Squad on the scene were the Hermon, Russell, Fine and Harrisville fire departments.
Chief Thornton said the fire took three hours to put out. One woman received medical attention at the scene for precautionary reasons, but otherwise no one was injured. Mr. Lacks said that a cat died in the blaze.
He commended the work of the firefighters, as well as the caretakers at the apartment complex.
All the people involved did well, he said.
The five residents of the building are staying temporarily with family and friends, he said. Mr. Lacks said a few of the residents also were being assisted by the Red Cross, as he said none of the tenants had insurance on their belongings inside the apartments.
The property, owned by United Helpers Management Co. Inc., was insured.

By MELANIE STEELEHelper
For the most part, I think we can all lose sight on what makes a community go-round and be quick to criticize.
We all get invested in that "the thing" we do is the most important, whether it's serving as a board member for the water district, raising kids, organizing bingo night, going to work, or planning the next PTA meeting. And, it is the most important.
We all put our energy into one thing or another, and have to believe that it is a significant thing. Otherwise, how could you find the motivation to do it?
I am personally invested in making the Helper Arts and Music Festival happen, but I know the same holds true for members and organizers of our local governments, community clubs and organizations, and any of our local events.
I also understand that, as community members, we each participate in different ways. When it comes to the Greek Festival, my job is to eat. When it comes to Helper City council, I can be a citizen with feedback. When it comes to the festival, I get to make decisions and organize. Serving in different roles can help give us an appreciation for what the other guy is doing.
Feedback, constructive criticism, or heaven forbid, compliments, can be the best thing for an organization, a government, or even the group that oversees the annual church bake sale. The problem is, from my standpoint, the people who usually do the most criticizing don't serve on boards, don't oversee activities, and don't help implement better options than the ones they are criticizing.
The next time you have a criticism of how the other guy does it, take inventory of the ways you are giving back to the community. Most of us do it for nothing, and the few that do get paid, it might as well be nothing. By all means, give feedback and/or criticism but put it in the hands of someone that might actually be able to do something about it and be prepared that you might actually need to stand up and be counted.

My friend said he was told that the previous owner had Pan or Knuckle threaded inserts installed, the threads appear to be the right size for Harleys. But they are just small enough that a stock Harley intake will just slip over the threads with no contact. Has any one experienced a set of heads this way before? The cast numbers on the cylinder base are 93074 and 93076 and both threads are the same.

"Among her many jobs, Melinda evaluated all transcripts that came in from other colleges and also helped determine eligibility of college athletes," said Registrar Lillie Frazier Bell. "She helped many students qualify for graduation through her knowledge and expertise in knowledge and evaluation of transfer credits. She was a dedicated and conscientious employee and a loving mother of her two sons, Joseph and Michael."
The Melinda Martin McClung Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a student transferring into Northwestern State with a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 or better.
McClung's husband, Phillip McClung, is a popular and respected teacher at NSU Middle Lab School. Their son Joseph plans to attend Northwestern State this fall.
McClung's colleagues initiated the scholarship in recognition of their friend's dedication to her family, her coworkers and the Northwestern State students she helped. McClung was instrumental in developing administrative policies and procedures on transfer credit, serving as the university liaison with other institutions and working tirelessly with members of the Louisiana Board of Regents in the development of transfer credit matrix systems.
"Melinda was a long-time, devoted member of the university family and my dear friend," said Barbara Prescott, assistant to the registrar. "The expertise she developed in her years of service made her the ultimate transfer credit 'go to' person. She will be greatly missed by all.
"Melinda always tried to put the student first," said Yvette Williams, associate registrar for records. "She was compassionate towards the students and understood their needs when transferring to NSU. She was always honest and helpful."
"The thing I loved about Melinda was her ability to tell the most interesting stories about even everyday events. I could listen to her talk all day. She had a great sense of humor, and we will really miss her," said Maye Foster, administrative coordinator.
"Melinda was a dear coworker who made significant contributions to the Natchitoches community and to Louisiana higher education," said Daphne Delphin, university records analyst. "Melinda truly cared about other people, and she gave generously of her time and knowledge to her Northwestern State University family - students, faculty and staff. The time our friend and colleague shared with all of us will be forever treasured."
"Melinda always greeted you with a smile. She had a passion for her job and helping students in their transition into our school," said Charlotte Grayson, university records analyst. "She loved her family and was so proud of her two sons. She and I would talk of our families with us both having only two boys each. She would tell stories of her and her husband taking their family on vacations and the new places that they would find in Louisiana and the different types of food they had experienced. Melinda will always be in my heart."
"Melinda was a dedicated worker, a loving, caring and dependable person, who always put her family first," said Rhonda Wood, administrative coordinator. "Phillip and the boys were her life. Her family was one of those that still did things together like go on vacations. They would read a book that the whole family was interested in out loud so they could all enjoy it together. That's something you don't hear families doing anymore. She had such a bubbly laugh that I will miss. During our lunch break we discussed different recipes to try and talked about the 50s, 60s and 70s music."
"When I first came to interview for the other position as transcript evaluator, Melinda was one of the persons that interviewed me," said Brenda Fowler Milner, director of registration and graduation. "It turned out to be more than an interview. She knew I was nervous, but she made me feel so welcome and I soon discovered that I knew her mother-in-law. She is the person that trained me in my first job with Northwestern, which has continually helped me in my present position in the Registrar's office. She will be truly missed."
"This memorial scholarship has been established to honor Melinda's contributions to this institution and to continue her love for transfer students," Prescott said.
Contributions to the scholarship can be made payable to the NSU Foundation and mailed to 535 University Parkway, Natchitoches, La., 71497. A notation should be made that the donation is for the Melinda Martin McClung Scholarship.

To optimize insert speed, combine many small operations into a single large operation. Ideally, you make a single connection, send the data for many new rows at once, and delay all index updates and consistency checking until the very end.
The time required for inserting a row is determined by the following factors, where the numbers indicate approximate proportions:
Connecting: (3)
Sending query to server: (2)
Parsing query: (2)
Inserting row: (1 × size of row)
Inserting indexes: (1 × number of indexes)
Closing: (1)
This does not take into consideration the initial overhead to open tables, which is done once for each concurrently running query.
The size of the table slows down the insertion of indexes by
N, assuming B-tree indexes.
You can use the following methods to speed up inserts:
If you are inserting many rows from the same client at the
same time, use
statements with multiple
VALUES lists
to insert several rows at a time. This is considerably
faster (many times faster in some cases) than using
separate single-row
statements. If you are adding data to a nonempty table,
you can tune the
variable to make data insertion even faster. See
Section 5.1.4, "Server System Variables".
When loading a table from a text file, use
INFILE. This is usually 20 times faster than
INSERT statements.
See Section 13.2.6, "LOAD DATA INFILE Syntax".
Take advantage of the fact that columns have default values. Insert values explicitly only when the value to be inserted differs from the default. This reduces the parsing that MySQL must do and improves the insert speed.
See Section 8.5.2, "Bulk Data Loading for MyISAM Tables"
for tips specific to
MyISAM tables.

"If you are inserting a lot of rows from different clients, you can get higher speed by using the INSERT DELAYED statement."
I am running an application which inserts 20 to 120 rows per second on a single table (Format: Fixed/Row size: 46/No free data) using 5 to 10 client threads. I was using INSERT DELAYED but the delayed insert thread was consuming a lot of CPU and every 5 seconds all the insert threads would go into "waiting for handler lock" status for about 600 ms. The application also runs also selects and updates in the following proportion:
During that 600ms every 5 seconds, mysql didn't output anything to any thread (I checked it by monitoring network traffic).
Today I changed the INSERT DELAYED to a simple INSERT and CPU usage went down by 70% and no more intermitent locks are experienced.
Platform: Dual Intel Pentium III - Linux 2.4.20-13.7smp - MySQL 4.0.12-standard. Queries per second avg: 482.485

The suggestion of wrapping in transactions if you make more than about 5 modifications is in my experience a bit high.
I've seen massive performance increases in just wrapping 3 inserts. I imagine the performance gain is whenever you make more than a single insertion.

--tmpdir (and pointing it at a large partition with plenty of free space)
may be useful if you have a small /tmp partition and are using myisamchk on a large table.
Got a table with 36 million rows, 3 columns.
mysql> select count(*) from pagelinks;
| count(*) |
| 36785885 |
| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
| pl_from | int(8) unsigned | | PRI | 0 | |
| pl_namespace | int(11) | | PRI | 0 | |
| pl_title | varchar(255) | | PRI | | |

using LOCK TABLE .. WRITE may speed up the insertion, but when processing as well as loading rows, you will lock out any reader. A select on primary key (which should take close to 0 seconds) takes up to 0.2 seconds when my loader is busy loading batches of 1000 rows.
A very good workaround is to put the new rows into a temp table, then flush that table every now and then in a single tansaction. This makes the insert very quick, because all the checking and conversion was already done in the temp table.
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE ..._temp (....) ENGINE=MEMORY;
-- Loop from here --
DELETE FROM .._temp;
INSERT INTO .._temp ... VALUES (...);
INSERT INTO .._temp ... VALUES (...);
LOCK TABLE ... WRITE, ..._temp READ;
INSERT INTO ... SELECT * FROM ..._temp;
-- Repeat until done --
DROP TABLE ..._temp;
What I've seen in my system, is that the INSERTs go at about the same speed as when locking the table, but the clients do not notice any performance loss at all when the loader is running.
|Posted by Jonathan Lampe on March 30 2006 10:02pm
|[Delete] [Edit]
LOCK TABLES do not appear to speed up INSERT...SELECT queries. (At least under MySQL 4.0)
For example...
LOCK TABLES Folders READ, FolderPerms WRITE;
INSERT INTO FolderPerms
SELECT 'asc' as SID,
Folders.FolderPath FROM FolderID1
LEFT JOIN Folders ON FolderID1.ID=Folders.ID GROUP BY FolderID1.ID;
...runs just as fast with or without the LOCK/UNLOCK statements.

If you have a situation where there are a lot of INSERTs taking place for an extended period of time (such as with a large import), edit your /etc/fstab to turn off access times with the noatime option for the partition that the data is located in. With access times enabled for the mounted partition (the default behavior), the OS has to write to the disk partition every time you access the database (even if it's just a read). On large imports, this can clog up your I/O buffers. This was a problem I had on a FreeBSD 5.4 machine. When I turned off access time, INSERT performance increased severalfold.
An example /etc/fstab entry without, and then with noatime, consult your manpages for OS-specific settings:
/dev/da0s1a /partition ufs rw 2 2
/dev/da0s1a /partition ufs rw,noatime 2 2

If you have a big ammount of data to insert through a select ... insert query, it might be helpfull to divide it into smaller portions. I had a table with approx 30 000 000 records with 6 fields of the type double. If I try to use a select ... insert to copy all records at once into another empty table, it wouldn't go at all. But when copying 2000000 records at a time it took about 10 minutes for the whole table.
It seems that mysql executes a select completely and then starts inserting.

Be aware that if you are use replication and set sync_binlog = 1, this can have a large impact on the speed of INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE operations especially if you are using mysqlimport or LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE.
Using sync_binlog=1 on Solaris 10, I noted a speed decrease to 25% of the speed as compared to the default sync_binlog = 0.

If I see further than most, it is because I have stood on the toes of giants and they kicked me high into the air...
However, there is nothing to suggest that I see further than most.
I am (inasmuch as one 'is' an occupation) an engineer. My mathematical skills are rather pedestrian, with a rare insight every now and then. I have been lucky enough to sit in the same room with some famous mathematicians & engineers. My Erdős number is 5, which undoubtedly makes me as unique as an Irishman in a pub. And I have been spotted in The Pub from time to time.
In professional circumstances, my value add has usually been the injection of common sense and completion of grunt work when perspectives and energies are unfocused.
My current age is the smallest number composed of the first two primes that would allow me to have watched on RTÉ the slightly contradictory small step for man and giant leap for mankind.
My real name is Joe Higgins. Apparently, my last name means 'of the Viking' in Irish.
My alma mater is University College, Cork in Ireland, and I had the additional privilege of obtaining my Phd. from the University of California at Berkeley under the enlightened tutelage of Lucien Polak.

Whistler's Park area residents and passersby are beginning to see construction activity at the sight of the new Glide Rural Fire Protection District (GRFPD) Substation.
Voters passed the $2.5 million bond levy during the November 2012 election for the construction of a new Glide Fire District station at the present Glide location and an unmanned substation in the Whistler's Park area located near the intersection of North Umpqua Highway 138 and Whistler's Park Road. According to Beth Werner, business manager for the GRFPD, the bonds were sold through Edward Jones in $5,000 increments and opened May 10, 2013 exclusively to the Roseburg area offices for one day, selling $1.17 million. The remainder of the bonds sold within the next day and a half with only $15,000 being sold out of state. Bonds were only sold to individual investors.
Zerbach Construction of Roseburg Oregon is the general contractor that won the bid to construct the $162,528 two-bay substation designed by Paul L Bentley Architect AIA PC of Roseburg. The majority of the sub-contractors are also Roseburg area companies. This unmanned station is located 4.8 miles from Glide's main station and will house two pieces of apparatus: a Tender that is presently stored under a carport at the Glide main station and a Fire Engine that is currently in storage.
Having a tender and engine in the Whistler's area will give volunteer firefighters who live in that area a much quicker response time in the event of a structural fire. Presently, all responding volunteers meet at the main station in Glide when responding to a fire alarm. Time is of the essence when dealing with a structural fire.
Glide Fire District does have two volunteers who live in the area of the new substation but as always, volunteers are needed! Persons interested in becoming a volunteer firefighter or emergency medical responder are urged to call Beth Werner at Glide Fire 541-496-0224 or stop in and pick up an application during office hours 10 am to 6 pm Monday through Thursday. Training is provided every Monday evening at the main station.

Are you also considering Lee, Uehara, Accardo, and Ducherer(sp?)? That's another 12M coming off of the books.
Although I would prefer to see David Wright, I would consider Michael Young to be a solid pickup IF we don't have to pay much in prospects.
I wouldn't have offered Fielder what the Brewers did so I obviously don't want to spend what it will take to get him here. IMO anything beyond four years for him will be a bad contract, he's NOT a good defensive 1B, AND we have too many holes to fill to spend that much on just one player. Perhaps we could try to trade Adam Jones to the Giants for Brandon Belt (1B), Eric Surkamp (LHP), and Gary Brown (OF). It's a good trade for both sides and it would allow for us to improve our outfield defense.
Rising O's wrote:When they fail to tender both Pie and Scott they'll save around 8.5 million. But I digress...
Money should never be a point of discussion when it comes to the Baltimore Orioles until they have a consistent payroll near 130 million. So how much will it costs is not relevant for this organization nor will it be for at least 5 years. Heck even today, or yesterday there was an article in the New York Times stating MASN had revenues of close to 190 million. What the profits are I don't know. I imagine its a nice tidy sum given the industry. If the Orioles are crying about what a player costs then Angelos needs to sell the team or the stadium should be empty until he does.
I think with Fielder you get 8-10 wins easily because his production will make other players that much better. I think a Fielder/Jones/Reynolds can give you 3 100 RBI candidates with an above average top of the order hitter. See Angel thread (plug alert).
ofahn wrote:If we spent the same 200M over eight years on signing amateur talent that Fielder is going to sign for we would have a top five farm system and a consistently winning team.
Matt P wrote:ofahn wrote:If we spent the same 200M over eight years on signing amateur talent that Fielder is going to sign for we would have a top five farm system and a consistently winning team.
True, but that will never happen.
Rising O's wrote:I'm of the potentially ignorant opinion that stars make the team better. What I mean is that on an individual basis, and in a vacuum environment, Fiedler only adds 5 wins. But that's not how the game is played, as his impact and presence will improve the entire offense. So what you have is +1 or +2 for 4 or 5 other guys in the line-up as a result so you end up with 10-15+ wins. It doesn't solve all of the Orioles problems but it starts you on the path to relevance. We're an AL team so offering 7 years should not be a problem and spending the money shouldn't even be a consideration.

Sharp Objects: A Novelby Gillian Flynn
Staff Pick
Gillian Flynn's debut novel is a literary thriller that will shock and repulse you, even as it draws you inexorably into its tangled, sadistic web of deceit, secrets, and horrific revelations. With her vivid characters and sharp-edged dialogue, Flynn is a writer to watch!
"Wallowing in the misery, dysfunction, backstabbing, casual sexual exploitation, and rampant pettiness of small-town life is the strongest part of the narrative. I wonder if Sharp Objects might have worked better as a pitch-black comedy, or as a thriller without the mystery trappings. Flynn seems to have invested so much energy in making her main character live and breathe, neuroses fully ablaze, that she neglected to craft a formidable mystery." Chris Bolton, Powells.com (read the entire Powells.com review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
WICKED above her hipbone, GIRL across her heart
Words are like a road map to reporter Camille Preaker's troubled past. Fresh from a brief stay at a psych hospital, Camille's first assignment from the second-rate daily paper where she works brings her reluctantly back to her hometown to cover the murders of two preteen girls.
NASTY on her kneecap, BABYDOLL on her leg
Since she left town eight years ago, Camille has hardly spoken to her neurotic, hypochondriac mother or to the half-sister she barely knows: a beautiful thirteen-year-old with an eerie grip on the town. Now, installed again in her family's Victorian mansion, Camille is haunted by the childhood tragedy she has spent her whole life trying to cut from her memory.
HARMFUL on her wrist, WHORE on her ankle
As Camille works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, she finds herself identifying with the young victims — a bit too strongly. Clues keep leading to dead ends, forcing Camille to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past to get at the story. Dogged by her own demons, Camille will have to confront what happened to her years before if she wants to survive this homecoming.
With its taut, crafted writing, Sharp Objects is addictive, haunting, and unforgettable.
"Flynn's debut novel focuses on an emotionally fragile young woman whose sanity is being severely tested by family dysfunction, smalltown incivility and murder. It is a mesmerizing psychological thriller that is also quite disturbing and, thanks to reader Lee's chillingly effective rendition, at times almost unbearably so. Camille Preaker, a novice reporter with a history of self-mutilation, is sent to her hometown in Missouri to cover the murder of one teenage girl and the disappearance of another. There, she must face a variety of monsters from the past and the present, including her aloof and patronizing mother, her obnoxiously precocious 13-year-old stepsister who dabbles in drugs, sex and humiliation, and an unknown serial killer whose mutilated victims bring back haunting memories. Lee's interpretation of mom enhances the character's detachment and airy state of denial to an infuriating degree. And her abrupt change of pace when Camille suddenly begins chanting the words carved on her body is hair-raising. But the voice Lee gives to the stepsister — tinged with a sarcastic, cynical and downright evil girly singsong — makes one's blood run cold. Simultaneous release with the Shaye Areheart hardcover (Reviews, Aug. 21). (Oct.)" Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"More in the tradition of Joyce Carol Oates than Agatha Christie, this one will leave readers profoundly disturbed. But from the first line...you know you're in the hands of a talented and accomplished writer." The Boston Globe
"Darkly original....Flynn expertly ratchets up the suspense....A disturbing yet riveting tale." People
"A first novel that reads like the accomplished work of a long-time pro, the book draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction....All in all, a terrific debut." Chicago Tribune
"A tense, irresistable thriller....Flynn's first-person narration is pitch-perfect, but even more impressive is the way she orchestrates the slim novel's onrushing tension toward a heart-stopping climax." Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"To loathe one's home town is a venerable literary tradition, but I can't think of another novel that has painted a more scathing, over-the-top portrait of small-town America....Flynn generates suspense over who killed the two little girls." The Washington Post Book World
"Flynn delivers a great whodunit, replete with hinting details, telling dialogue, dissembling clues....Piercingly effective and genuinely terrifying." Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
"This impressive debut novel is fueled by stylish writing and compelling portraits of desperate housewives, southern style....A stylish turn on dark crimes and even darker psyches." Booklist
"To say this is a terrific debut novel is really too mild....Sharp Objects isn't one of those scare-and-retreat books; its effect is cumulative. I found myself dreading the last thirty pages or so but was helpless to stop turning them. Then, after the lights were out, the story just stayed there in my head, coiled and hissing, like a snake in a cave. An admirably nasty piece of work, elevated by sharp writing and sharper insights." Stephen King
"[F]irst-time novelist Flynn expertly divulges [a] tale reminiscent of the works of Shirley Jackson....Highly recommended." Library Journal
After eight years, the murders of two preteen girls — timed nearly a year apart — bring reporter Camille Preaker reluctantly back to her hometown. As she works to uncover the truth about these violent crimes, Camille finds herself forced to unravel the psychological puzzle of her own past.

I must say, you are the most responsive designer that I have ever worked with. Most people decline to have anything to do with their products once released. I appreciate that a lot.
I just come here to say that the support from the author is really nice. I'm very happy with the purchase, and I hope more people use this theme for their websites, since I like to see other customizations.
Great theme and solid support. For a review/BuddyPress community it's the best choice.
This theme is my favourite WP theme. Many options and everything is easy to handle. If there is any question you didn't get answered in the help file, you can ask the very fast and friendly support. I really like your work. Go on with this!
To anyone considering buying this theme, don't hesitate! It is such a powerful theme and you can do so much with it. There is always help available on the GhostPool forum too so any problems will always be answered. Is it worth $50? No, it's worth so much MORE! You won't be disappointed, I just wish I'd bought it sooner!
Just wanting to post here and say GhostPool you are amazing! Your support is top-notch and your themes are top-notch! Keep up the good work.
Thought to let everyone I've been using Score theme for a very long time and I cannot recommend this theme enough. It's powerful, very customisable, flexible with editing and an as always provides great help to everyone regularly. I'd like to thank Dan for his continued support with this theme and the amount of work he has done and for those considering this theme, it's a no brainer.
This is the first premium theme I've bought as a relatively new user to Wordpress, and I have to say I'm glad I did! The theme's functions are very well thought-out for a news/review site, and it is relatively easy to use and pick up for a beginner like me. I look forward to taking advantage of its flexibility as my knowledge of WP and this theme grows. What shouldn't be overlooked is the author's incredible support, which I totally was not expecting. Very responsive, effective and patient. Highly recommend purchasing this theme. – Xedi

Ted Moroz, Prez of Ontario Beer Store and Team Make a Difference
This evening I received a note from Ted Moroz, President of the Beer Store system in Ontario. He was recounting the reasons that he and his team engage in an annual fundraising effort for Leukemia and Lymphoma research. I will let you read it for yourself. It is a terrific reflection on how we can make a difference for those in need. Thanks for sharing Ted and thanks for letting me share on our blog. Cheers to the difference that you and the employees and customers of the Beer Store continue to make.
Here it is…
"Why do I raise funds to fight Leukemia, Lymphoma, and Blood Cancers?
A couple of years ago, while participating in our annual "Returns for Leukemia" bottle drive at the Alliston Beer Store, I noticed members of our team approach a mom and her little boy, who were beginning to pile empties on a cart, to explain what we were doing – collecting empty beer, wine and liquor containers and cashing them in to donate to blood cancer research. The mom replied that her young son, who we figured was about 9 or 10, had just spent several hours cleaning up the garage and gathering up the empties so the refund coming back was rightfully his. We smiled understandingly and started to help them with the empties regardless. We were out of earshot, but saw the little boy tug on his mom's sleeve and she bent down to speak with him. The mom rose to look at us with a tear in her eye and she relayed that her little boy had a friend at school who was sick with Leukemia and he wanted to donate these empties to help his friend.
A few months ago, a very close friend and one of the best bosses I ever had buried his son after he lost his battle with Lymphoma. I don't think any parent should ever have to bury her or his own child and experience such unbearable agony.
There is an employee at our Brampton distribution centre by the name of Chris Bidner. And Chris's wife Jane is also a beer store employee and 12R24 member who works at one of our Guelph locations. Besides being all round nice people, Chris and Jane have always been big supporters of our annual fundraising campaigns and Chris is a real go-getter when it comes to raising the bar and encouraging his co-workers at Brampton DC to help out. Chris and Jane's four year-old grandson Nevan has been diagnosed with Leukemia and will endure treatments for the next 2 years.
Last year at the Quarter Century meeting, a celebration we have for employees upon achieving twenty five years of service, I ran into Jim Silva and his wife Margaret. Jim is a store manager in Toronto. Margaret went on to tell me how proud she was that her husband's company, along with UFCW Local 12R24, raised so much for Leukemia research. Their 18 year old daughter Samantha, who had just started school at the University of Guelph, and had made the Lacrosse team, had been diagnosed with Leukemia. Samantha is in remission thanks to the advances of modern day research and returned to Guelph last year helping her Lacrosse team make it to the finals. Jim also wanted to pass along how vitally important it is to donate blood.
So why do I help raise funds for Leukemia research? I do it so little kids can just be little kids and not have to worry or see their friends have leukemia. I do it so parents do not have to bury their children who have succumbed to the awful diseases. I do it so Jane and Chris Bidner can watch their grandchild grow and other four year olds do not have to go through multiple years of chemotherapy. I do it so that Jim and Margaret can cheer on Samantha and her lacrosse team. That's why.
This past year, The Beer Store and Local 12R24 raised over $1.7 million in the fight against blood cancers. Next year's campaign is officially underway and I am going to once again run a half marathon (21K) to help out and raise money for the fight.
If you have already made a donation to someone on our team or your company has already donated then I apologize for sending this to you. Thank you and by all means "delete'. But if you have not donated and would like to make a donation to support my participation in Team In Training and help advance LLSC's mission, that would be greatly appreciated. I hope you'll visit my web site. Cheers and thank you for your support!
Ted Moroz

You will receive an email confirmation, along with your tax receipt for your donation and I will be notified as soon as you make your donation. I thank you in advance for your support, and really appreciate your generosity!!"
Thanks Ted ! @MolsonFerg

The roof of your home is perhaps its most important part, therefore if you find yourself searching for roofing companies Houston to contact, try to locate one that can be trusted. There isn't a homeowner who looks forward to dealing with challenging repair problems. Any issue with a roof should be repaired as soon as it is possible.
Being a home owner also means that you must take care of your roof to avoid larger problems in the future. For example if it is raining and you notice your roof has a leak, do not try to repair it by climbing on the roof during the rain, wait until the rain stops. Any repairs require dry and safe conditions so be sure to wait until the roof is dry to attempt this.
At least once a year, examine the shingles and the foundation of the roof. If the outside walls possess dry rot, it can cause water to enter. Examine all areas that can provide an entry way, particularly areas having rotted wood. One must also keep in mind the climate they live in. Clay roofs work well in dry climates and will keep homes cooler however they tend to weaken in a rainy climate.
If you simply are unable to examine a roof yourself, you must contact a professional roofing company. There are so many companies that it can be overwhelming to choose one. If your roof requires repairs or replacing, it can be helpful if you can obtain a recommendation from family, co-workers, neighbors or friends. You want to ask if they had any roof repairs done recently on their house and if so can they recommend any company they have dealt with.
Conducting an Internet or yellow pages search is a great way to locate roofing companies. An Internet search will allow you to read any reviews about a particular roof company. As you do your search there are a few items to be aware of. If you call a company and they provide a price quote over the phone you may want to call another company because they should actually see your roof prior to giving you a price for a repair. Any good roofing business will pay a visit to your home and climb up on the roof to properly inspect it.
More precautions to keep in mind as you search for a roof repair business include making inquiries regarding the type of roof materials they use. Also be sure that the company provides a written guaranty when they complete the job. Ask how long they have been in business. Be sure that they possess appropriate insurance and licensure prior to beginning the task. Ensure that the company you choose has the correct license for the state and your local area. In the event you are not sure about business requirements for roofing companies, call the Department of
Professional Regulation for your applicable state and ask for the licensing department. Also locate their rating with the Better Business Bureau.
When deciding which roofing company to hire, try to choose one that has a good reputation in the area you live. It is important to choose a company with experience as you want to maintain a roof's safety and protect your family and valuable possessions.

I was wondering how i can change my desktop... When i do
i get KDE, but i wanted Gnome! I'm using SuSE 9.1.Code:startx
I searched google and found that I have to do
, but it says that the command is not found. I tryedCode:switchdesk
witch resulted inCode:apt-get install switchdesk
Also searched the YaST online update, but found nothing.Code:package not found
So what is the way of doing this?
Thanks in advance...
For GNOME you might want to consider a distro that doesn't totally wreck GNOME - something like Fedora or Ubuntu works nicely.
YaST ought to be able to do that. Plus if you select from GDM or KDM a different desktop and save that as the new default for that user, you should have that new one saved as the one startx starts up.


text: The system is the result of two technologies brought together in a compact PowerShot. The first is the 12.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor, which positions the light-receiving surface for optimal light reception. More light means clearer, blur-free images with plenty of detail and nuance, even in dark areas. Working together with the CMOS sensor to deliver the HS SYSTEM is Canon's advanced DIGIC 4 Image Processor, which actively reduces noise and delivers high speed image processing.
