Western Shoshone Defense Project, Crescent Valley, NV
The Western Shoshone Defense Project affirms Western Shoshone jurisdiction over Newe Sogobia (traditional Western Shoshone territory) through the protection, preservation, and restoration of Newe rights and responsibilities for present and future generations based upon cultural and spiritual traditions. The project conducts outreach and education on issues affecting the Western Shoshone Nation, including sovereignty rights, land rights, and environmental quality.
The Project maintains an activist/volunteer community in Crescent Valley that supports the Western Shoshones' struggles for sovereignty and their use of traditional lands. The project is initiating research, development and implementation of an environmental restoration plan for the Western Shoshones' traditional land use area.
A current activity of the Project is the Mining Action Program, which is working to develop a cumulative impact study documenting cultural and environmental destruction caused by open-pit cyanide heap leach gold mines on Western Shoshone territory.

"Playing Jesus is obviously very humbling," says Troy actor-singer Kenny Watson.

Religious inspiration comes in many forms. Kelly Garver Nieto's hit her like a ton of Babylon bricks while she was attending her first-ever Good Friday service in 2000. It was while praying the Stations of the Cross, which uses 14 sequential images to depict the crucifixion of Jesus, that the former nonbeliever experienced what she calls a "life-changing vision."

(The following letter to the Newtown Board of Education has been received for publication.)
Last week I sent the following email to each member of the Board of Education. Not one of the seven members has acknowledged it or responded. Hopefully some of them read The Newtown Bee so I am submitting my concerns in this venue.
To Members of the Board of Education:
Your decision to fill a vacancy on the school board without reaching out to the public for interested and qualified volunteers was a mistake.
Merely requesting names from the RTC was not enough, especially when only one name was submitted by that organization and that person is a former board member.
I am troubled that you are creating the impression that the school board is a "closed shop" and only "insiders" will be invited to serve. My disappointment with the board's actions is not because I intended to apply and was denied the opportunity. As some of you know, I have submitted my name several times in the past and was not successful in securing an appointment. But in each of those instances, I was one of many applicants and always considered the process fair. My concern is that your failure to advertise and reach out to the community in other ways this time to bring more candidates forward, will leave an unsavory impression with the public.
I am confident that Kathy [Hamilton} will do an outstanding job as a returning member to the BOE, but the public must believe that every effort was made to be fair and inclusive. Unfortunately, your actions in this matter do exactly the opposite. I highly recommend that the board issue a public statement explaining your actions in this vacancy appointment. The BOE must preserve its credibility with the public it serves in order to be effective.
George Caracciolo
Schoolhouse Hill Road, Newtown July 16, 2013

Dickov Delight Veteran Puts Grayson Side Nearer Safety; Still Got It: Dickov (Right) Celebrates His Winner on the Half-Hour Mark Picture: PHIL HEYWOOD
Byline: SORIEBAH KAJUE
WHEN Simon Grayson reflects on this season, he will no doubt raise a glass tothe efforts of Paul Dickov.
The 35-year-old striker was deemed surplus to requirements at Manchester Cityby Sven Goran Eriksson. But Grayson knew that the former Scotland striker stillhad some mileage in the tank and signed him on loan until the end of theseason. And after notching the winner against Wednesdaythe sixth goal of his Blackpool careerthe decision to sign him looks inspired.
However, the veteran forward is unsure whether he will return to BloomfieldRoad next season.
I dont know whats going on at the minute in terms of my contract, said Dickov.Ive been here and enjoyed my football.
Nothing has been spoken about in terms of whats going to happen, so I just wantto enjoy next week at Plymouth and score a goal and sort it out after that.
We have a hard game at Plymouth next week and regardless of what happens in theother games, we have to make sure that we get a result.
The fans here have been great to me. Its my last game here because I wont beable to play in the Watford game, so it was nice to finish off with a goal.
Blackpool are the third side Dickov has appeared for this season, so he is onlyable to play for them as an emergency loan.
This means he is only available for 93 days at most, and his loan periodfinishes the day before the clash with Watford.
The win takes Blackpool up to the lofty position of 16th with 53 points, whichshould be enough to keep them in the division. …

Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety is normal. It is when it becomes too much, that it begins to pose a problem to one's health and well-being. The most common type of Anxiety Disorder is Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD). And listed below is a broad classification of the different kinds of Anxiety Disorders.
Anxiety disorder is typically defined as a state of excessive worrying, irrational fear and dread. Depending on the symptoms, anxiety disorders are classified into:
- panic disorder,
- obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD),
- post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD),
- social phobia (or social anxiety disorder),
- specific phobias, and
- generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
Each anxiety disorder has different symptoms, but all the symptoms cluster around excessive, irrational fear and dread.
Panic Disorder: sudden attacks of terror, usually accompanied by a pounding heart, sweatiness, weakness, faintness, or dizziness. Often mistaken for a heart attack. People having a panic attack sometimes believe they are actually having a heart attack and are going to die. Panic attacks usually produce a sense of unreality, a fear of impending doom, or a fear of losing control.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder(OCD): People with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) have persistent, upsetting thoughts (obsessions) and use rituals (compulsions) to control the anxiety these thoughts produce.
For example, the person having an OCD might be obsessed with germs or dirt, and so will develop a compulsion to wash hands over and over again. Other common rituals are a need to repeatedly check things, touch things (especially in a particular sequence), or count things.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) develops after a terrifying ordeal that involved physical harm or the threat of physical harm. The person who develops PTSD may have been the one who was harmed, the harm may have happened to a loved one, or the person may have witnessed a harmful event that happened to loved ones or strangers.
Social phobia or social anxiety disorder: A person suffering from Social phobia or social anxiety disorder displays overwhelming anxiety and becomes extremely self-conscious in everyday social situations. Such a person is constantly worried about being embarrassed in front of others.
Specific phobia where the person experiences an an intense, irrational fear of something that poses little or no actual danger. Fear of closed spaces, heights, escalators, tunnels, are some of the common types of phobia.
Generalized Anxiety Disorder(GAD) is diagnosed when worrying becomes a a habit. The person with Generalized Anxiety Disorder is constantly worrying even though there is no valid reason for it. The person may imagine all kinds of possible dangers that can happen and is overly concerned about health issues, money, family problems, or difficulties at work.

My understanding is the date mentioned is the final decision time to take a gain or a loss on Canadian issues. The selling has prospects to continue from now till that date. It seems to me the chart looks weighted to the downside especially if the goes through the critical $.38 support level. I am only an observer at this point but could re-enter if the technicals are realized. glta, peake

MONTGOMERY VILLAGE, Md. (AP) - The uncle of a Boston Marathon bombing suspect is urging his nephew to turn himself in.
Ruslan Tsarni of Montgomery Village, Md., said Friday that 19-year-old Dzhozkar Tsarnaev should turn himself in to police and ask for forgiveness. Officials say Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a 26-year-old who had been known to the FBI as Suspect No. 1, was killed overnight.
The brothers came from a Russian region near Chechnya and lived together in Cambridge, Mass. Tsarni says he hasn't seen them for several years.
He says the family is ashamed. He says he loves the U.S. and respects this country.

The International House is playing the Polish movie Aftermath tonight (as I noted in yesterday's Inquirer). You should go see it, as its probably not going to get a wider release. Check out this article for a taste of the broader controversy the movie is stirring up at home. (Image courtesy of Menemsha Films.)
This should give you a rough idea of what the movie is like: Aftermath is a bit like Straw Dogs, but with anti-Semitism and guilt instead of sexual violence and Neanderthalic gender norms.
The real power of Aftermath lies in its subversion of the notion that the Shoah was the sole handiwork of black-clad SS officers. It forces the brothers, and the audience, to look at the atrocities of WWII as not just a case of ideological insanity, but years when grudges, avarice, and prejudice were encouraged to flower among everyone.
Aftermath isn't a love note to its homeland, but it serves a higher purpose by subverting an easy narrative of universal resistance to Nazism. That wasn't true in Poland. Or Lithuania or Denmark or France. People benefited from, and participated in, evil. The moral aftermath of the most awful span of human history is largely a German burden. But not solely.

Phillies manger Ryne Sandberg held his first full practice of spring training Tuesday. / USA TODAY Sports
CLEARWATER, FLA. — Ryne Sandberg is an organized man. Or so it seems.
The new Phillies manager runs his practices in an organized fashion. He is obsessed with attention to detail. But, until late Monday night, his plans for camp were strewn about.
I put a lot of thought into it, Sandberg said. The wheels started turning probably after the last game (of 2013). I had a set of about 12 or 15 sheets or paper. Some were Post-It notes. Some were smaller than that. Some were sheets of paper. I threw it all together last night.
Shortly after 9 a.m. on Tuesday, Ryne Sandberg gathered every player in Major League camp for a chat before heading to the fields.
Most have been here for a while already. But Tuesday marked the first official workouts of Spring Training, Sandbergs first as manager. If Tuesday was any indication, things will be a bit different this year than in the past.
In a lot of ways, it felt like back in the day, an opening day-type of thing, Sandberg said. There was anxiousness. Good butterflies. I was excited to see everybody and actually get started with the process of molding the guys together as a unit.
Players began the day by performing baserunning drills, something the Phillies have struggled with in the past. They followed that by working on bunt defense another small, but sore spot for the Phils the last couple years for about a half hour.
Sandberg is a man who preaches detail, and it showed on Tuesday.
The guys are fresh, Sandberg said. These first few days are about technique, its not necessarily conditioning, and its definitely not a punishment, but its a technique and its a fundamental exercise and thatll be stressed and its great on the feedback I got the guys said hey it was great, it got us loose.
The workout also lasted longer than many of the practices Charlie Manuel held. Tuesdays workout wrapped up around 1:30 p.m, a bit longer than Manuels used to run.
This spring training is a big, big difference (than) the last two just in the first few days, Jonathan Papelbon said. There is a lot more upbeat positivity. Its night and day, it really is.
There is no slight to Manuel here.
The former manager is easily the best manager in franchise history, winning a World Series title, two NL pennants and five division titles. His management style letting veterans mostly govern clubhouse things and valuing players getting their work done obviously worked for a long time.
But with Sandberg, the Phillies return to basics. Which could help this team tremendously.
Practice will be much like this for the next week at least, as Grapefruit League games will be starting up soon. When pressed on if he has the rest of the spring mapped out, Sandberg laughed.
Oh no, he said. Im only focused on today. We got a lot of work done.

Yes a new game I can pirate xD
Hearts of Oak: Conquest of the Seas is a non-commercial PC game being developed by PiratesAhoy!, and is to become the historical seafaring game to end them all! Fun, realistic gameplay on land and at sea, set during the Age of Sail, will provide extensive free play, exciting scripted storylines and intense multiplayer scenarios.
"Hearts of Oak: Conquest of the Seas" is a project of epic proportions, intended to be the pirate and historical seafaring game to end them all. Do you have any interest in such a game, then be sure to READ ON!
Posted by Pieter_Boelen on Oct 30th, 2012
proudly presents:
OK, so the preliminary cover art needs some work. Let's try that again, shall we?
This game is being developed to be the pirate and historical seafaring game to end them all. Realistic yet fun gameplay on land and at sea allowing both extensive free play and exciting scripted storylines should ensure that anyone with any interest in the Age of Sail should be able to live their dream!
Now the above may sound a bit vague. Therefore, we recommend you to have a look here:
This article, also posted here on the ModDB, details our intents quite clearly. However, nothing is set in stone, so if you have any thoughts to contribute, NOW IS THE TIME!
We are making this as an independent game without any financial backing. It is made by fully freelance developers in their spare time and will be available for free once we have something playable.
Therefore, we can use all the help we can get. So if you would like to contribute, please head over to the PiratesAhoy! Community forums! It doesn't matter whether you already have any skills or not.
And don't forget to...
Yes a new game I can pirate xD
"Pirate" as in "play as a pirate" or as in "get illegally for free"? If the latter... YOU DON'T HAVE TO as it will be a free game anyway. ;-)
Can I at least PRETEND I'm "pirating" the game? It's more exciting that way!
Also, great news! This is being made with UDK, right?
"Can I at least PRETEND I'm "pirating" the game? It's more exciting that way!"
In this case, there is really no harm to be done by that. Not sure HOW you want to arrange that though. :-P
"Also, great news! This is being made with UDK, right?"
While making it free is awesome, if you guys do end up making a huge game that is worthy of dosh, I suggest making a paid version of 10 for no commercials and a free version with a commercial every time you start to support further development while making sure people who dont have much money can play as well :)
Im sure noone will argue with a 2 minute commercial for a free piece of awesome software.
Just an idea tho ;3
I love the whole Pirates Theme.
And would love to finally see a game that can live up to the History and epicness of Buccaneers.
Furious Seas, Grand Isles, Lady's with Big Bosoms, Big Ships and ale chunking pirates.
I also would not mind paying for a quality product!
Please don't forget to add the third person as well.
Many players like me feel indeed that the game is more realistic and funny WITH the third person. Why, you may ask? You can imagine you're the one who is there walking, fighting or piloting the ship. In the first person, however, you can't see yourself, you can't see how you are swinging the sword or climbing the ship. It's funnier if you can see and feel the ship, and the best way is at third person!
And if, like in stage four, you are going to allow the player to customize his character, it doesn't make sense that he or she can't see his custimized character ingame!
Most of us definitely DO want to have third person mode in there, so I wouldn't worry about that.
Hello everyone I'm new to these waters sorry if my English is not very good and I'm Spanish. I see that you are creating a new game and I would like to bring you some quests if you want. I come from 3D Forum Age of Pirates and Buccaneers Gold in which we are creating a mod to add a quest to Diego Espinoza and Ian Stance.
Well that's what I wanted to talk to you if you want I can create some quests.
Thanks and greetings to all.
At the moment, we seem to have a lot of people interested in quest writing, even though the game's foundations are still being laid, meaning it will be at least a few months before we can include the first storyline.
However, that doesn't mean you can't help out with the quest-related brainstorming; we'd appreciate your input! You may also be able to help us with any Spanish content or dialogue too. Please visit our main forum if you want to join the team: Piratesahoy.net
Thank you and I step Armada collaborate with you.
Pieter, i have a few questions:
1.Will the game have any easter eggs or any thing?
2.In POTC:New Horzons, I liked the Woodes Rogers quest, will there be puzzles?
3. Can you add the Soleil Royal and Santissima Trinidad to the game?
4.Will the ship battles be similar to the one in Assassins Creed 3?(rouge winds ,cliffs ,weather )
thank you and good luck on the game!
1. We're doing this for fun. We won't be able to resist adding Easter Egge.s ;-)
2. I'm sure there will be, though perhaps not in the first release. It is definitely something that can add a different type of experience to the same game.
3. Any ship can be added, provided that they're made by somebody. Those particular ships fall outside our initial time-frame, but the intention is to add more time periods later on.
4. We intend to have all the good things in place, but they will be a LOT more realistic than AC 3 has them.
Sweet jesus I'm going to play the hell out of this.
First proper pirate RPG standalone.
10/10 would bang. Just hoping fencing will stray away from the robust sea dogs mechanic, making it more fun.

Huffing and puffing for 13.2 miles for Cystic Fibrosis!
As a dietitian at Children's Hospital here in Atlanta, I have been given the special opportunity to work with children with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). If you are not familiar with CF, it is a disease which requires these kids go through breathing treatments, several times a day, in order to keep their lungs functioning. What may be an easily fought infection for a healthy individual, can put a CF kid in the hospital for 2 weeks at a time while they get IV-antibiotics. Yet, despite this life-long battle and frequent hospital visits, these are the most positive and resiliant kids I have ever met.
I have run races in the past for my own goals but I am running the March 18, 2012 Atlanta Half-Marathon for my kids with CF. Their strength and resolve will inspire me and power me up the hills of Atlanta.
Since these kids battle CF everyday, my goal is to raise $1 for each day of the year. Please join me in raising the funds to continue the fight against this disease.

Paltrow's ex won't do marriage againComment on this story
London - Chris Martin won't marry again after splitting from Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Coldplay front man - who broke up with his wife in March after 10 years of marriage - is said to be done with marriage after being left embarrassed by the way their personal life has been aired so publicly.
According to reports in the Daily Star newspaper, the trauma of their split has put him off the idea and he has struggled coping with the "tough time".
An insider said: "It's a tough time for Chris and he absolutely hates having his dirty linen washed in public.
"He's a very private person. Chris isn't comfortable talking about it, feels like he's let himself down and is also angry with the way the split unfolded."
It is said he was hurt by the way the split break-up was announced - described as an "conscious uncoupling" - and the way it was received.
The source added: "The way the newsletter and the 'conscious uncoupling' quote was ridiculed so openly also embarrassed him.
"In reality he never feels that anyone outside of his inner circle needs to know about what is going on in his life." - BANG Showbiz

Joe Tiller had just been named the offensive coordinator at Washington State University in late 1989 when he got a call from a player he coached at Purdue a few years earlier.
Kevin Sumlin had been an overachieving linebacker for the Boilermakers, going from walk-on to one of the best players on the team. After working in the insurance industry for a few months following graduation, he wanted to give coaching a try.
"I told him the approach you should take is being (a graduate assistant)," said Tiller, who later returned to Purdue and became the school's all-time winningest head coach. "You ...

The trial of an Alamogordo man accused of forcing his way into a home in search for a woman who didn't live there began Monday in 12th Judicial District Court.
James Ramirez, 30, is charge with one count each of second-degree felony aggravated burglary with a deadly weapon, second-degree felony kidnapping, fourth-degree felony aggravated assault, third-degree felony child abuse, third-degree felony tampering with evidence and fourth-degree felony possession of a firearm by a felon, according to District Court records obtained by the Daily News.
The state — represented by Deputy District Attorney James Dickens — alleges that in December 2012, Ramirez forcibly entered a home on the 1200 block of Puerto Rico Avenue and held a 15-year-old boy at gunpoint while he searched from room to room.
Ramirez is alleged to have said that he had the wrong house before leaving, Dickens said in opening arguments Monday.
Dickens said police found Ramirez attempting to dispose of evidence the next day.
Ramirez' attorney Mario Torrez said during opening arguments that DNA evidence is inconclusive and several witnesses failed to identify Ramirez as the perpetrator, adding that two witnesses identified someone else.
The trial was expected to continue into Tuesday.

The kids and I spent the first part of New Year's Eve on the road, driving 269 miles home after visiting family in South Dakota.
After spending half the day in a cramped rental car overflowing with children, a dog and too much stuff, I just wanted to stretch out on the couch that evening.
While I was stretching, I was also Facebooking. I wrote:
"How am I ringing in the new year? With children, a dog, Chinese takeout and 'Dog With a Blog' on the telly. I know you want my life."
I didn't really expect anyone to respond; it was New Year's Eve, after all. But 25 friends quickly "liked" my status and many others admitted they were having quiet evenings at home, too. Some of us were happy about it, some of us were not.
"I am in bed, sick, with tea, Kleenex and a cheesy movie."
"I'm home alone (husband working) paying bills, surfing the Net and doing laundry. Oh and I had frozen Banquet potpies for dinner. Aren't you jealous?"
"We had shrimp cocktail and watched 'The Muppet Movie,' so not a huge improvement here! Happy New Year!"
"Husband working and I am doing the cooking. Feel totally cheated. Molly, I think all these responses are fodder for a column!"
Indeed. Are we just too old to have fun? Or is it because we have children?
A friend with two young kids wrote:
"Ah, New Year's Eve with children. Someone tell me when I can start enjoying my life again."
I admired her courage: While I do believe that many parents feel the same way -- at least some of the time -- not many of us will admit it.
The replies were interesting.
"10 years. Sorry, babe. But that's the truth. Unless you get good sitters and a hotel. So you can sleep in in the morning."
"Trust me, the time will come when you'll look back at these years with longing!"
"Let's be honest here. Did you ever enjoy this holiday pre-kids?"
"At least you're not alone. We had family board game night."
"Come over, I'll make you a bellini."
I turned to another friend of mine with children. She was also online on New Year's Eve. She wrote:
"End of the year. Cusp of a new year. For each of us it means something different. Champagne and dancing and kissing at midnight. That no longer appeals to me. Now, year's end means inventory, bookkeeping, number-crunching for a few days, and sorting, organizing and preparing for the taxes, which are due a month early for those who run a business."
Her words reminded me of 1 Corinthians 13:11: "When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things."
Is it childish to spend New Year's Eve drinking champagne and dancing and kissing at midnight? Perhaps.
I was asleep at midnight. My 4-year-old -- who had napped earlier -- woke me up when "Scooby Doo" was over.
"I love you," she said. "You my best friend."
What a perfect way to start 2013.

Does Length Matter?
I was being equal parts careless and provocative, when, the other day on Twitter, I tweeted the following:
1088 pages is just too long a book no matter how skilled a writer you are. Agree or disagree?
Quite honestly, I was bored and looking for something to liven up my afternoon, feeling a bit mischievous, as well as, from a writerly and readerly perspective, interested in hearing opinions on the topic. But I really should to have put the first sentence in quotes, because it isn't and never was my literal opinion.
So before anyone else takes issue, let me clarify that I don't think book length is a factor that trumps all others – that would be a ridiculous assertion. Nor do I think that 1088 pages is some kind of magic number, below which quality and skill count and above which they cease to matter. That would be even more absurd.
So what do I actually think on the matter of length? Mostly that each book should, in an ideal world, be exactly the length that best serves its author's vision, whether that length is two hundred pages or two thousand.
Skill does count; it counts a great deal. Nonetheless, book length is a factor in my reading decisions. Although I have enjoyed long books, unless I've gotten a strong recommendation from a trusted source or have read the author in the past, I tend to shy away from them when I make my purchasing decisions. Here are some of the reasons why.
Attention span is a factor, but not the only factor.
In high school and college I had a higher tolerance for long books and my attention span isn't what it used to be. This makes me sad because I wish I could concentrate as easily as I once did.
In my case, I suspect this shortening attention span is primarily due to web browsing, but I also think a contributing factor is the shortening of the average romance in the early 2000s, which was one of the things that conditioned me to expect to spend less time with books. Back in the 1990s, I loved many longer books, so I have no beef whatsoever with readers who prefer them.
This type of conditioning is one of several reasons I think it's good that longer romances are showing themselves to be viable in the marketplace now.
But while the change in my attention span has had an effect on my interest in reading longer books, I think that to equate a preference for shorter books solely with an inability to concentrate is a fallacy.
Reading speed is also a factor.
My reading speed isn't super fast. It took a significant dive when I switched primary languages. I regret it more than I can say, although there is a silver lining in that a side effect of is that as I read, I'm more conscious of the sound and rhythm of words now than I was when I read faster.
Still, this means I'm typically lucky to finish a book a week, and even a two hundred page book doesn't get read in one sitting.
Why am I bringing this up? Because I don't think the ability to concentrate or deal well with the boring parts of a book is the only factor in why longer books feel like a greater investment for some of us than for others. Time is an additional constraint, because we all have a finite amount of it.
I also think reading speed and attention span can affect each other. Before you pride yourself on your ability to stick with a relatively slow feeling book and assume it's all due to your attention span, you may want to consider how much slower that same book may feel to someone who only reads at half your speed.
One of the more controversial statements I made in this same Twitter conversation was that longer books mean a greater likelihood of flab. I'll get to what I mean by this in a moment, but first, let me say that I do understand that each reader is going to define flab differently. Given the subjective nature of reading, it is impossible for what each of us considers flab not to also be subjective.
So let me give one example of what I consider flab. Take the following two sentences.
(A) William rose up.
(B) William rose.
Personally, I think the word "up" in the first sentence is flab, because it's not like William could rise except other than up, not do I think the word "up" adds anything to the style of the sentence. Others may differ, and that's okay.
By my statement that longer books are more likely to contain flab, I don't mean that any longer book is going to be flabbier than any shorter book. This would be a completely ludicrous statement.
Here's the point I was trying to make though. Even many of the best writers will sometimes overlook what given more time they would choose to delete: words they consider superfluous. And I have long thought that all other things being equal, the longer a work is, the more often this is likely to happen, which means that on average this holds true. I could very well be wrong on this point, though.
If a book takes three times longer than most books to read, I want it to be as good as three average-length books put together.
This too proved to be a controversial statement, which surprised me even more. All I meant to say by this was that in the same way that I have to consider whether I'm going to get my money's worth out of a book, I also have to consider whether I will get my time's worth. I will generally only put in three times more time (or money) if I expect to get three times more out of the reading experience.
Does this mean I shouldn't read long books?
Someone suggested so to me, but I don't agree. Why? Because as Jane's post about the reader's ever-changing hard limits suggests, most readers have dislikes that can be overcome.
Just about every reader I know has some kind of strong preference, whether it be for genre, setting, heat level, character types, tropes, style of language, and length is just one of these.
And maybe I'm wrong, but I would venture to guess that just about every reader has had a reading experience which persuaded him or her to suspend at least one of these preferences and enjoy doing so.
It's certainly true of me. Those books that overcome a preference to the contrary of mine often end up among my very favorites.
So authors, I hope you write books of the length that best serves your vision. And readers, I hope you weigh in below. Do you have any preferences when it comes to the length of your reading material? If so, what are they, and how do they influence your purchasing and reading decisions?

-Calvin Trillin
Introduction | Itinerary | Summary | Book Now
"Have you eaten yet?" In China, this is one of the most common and respectful greetings. It reflects the country's long cultural connection with its diverse foods and preparation techniques.China's culinary history is one of the most venerable in the world. Where better to eat, drink and explore than in the elegance of a Dynastic courtyard in one of the world's oldest cultures? "Adventures in a Chinese Kitchen" will encourage guests to boldly move beyond Calvin Trillin's reticence and fear. It introduces the culinary traditions of Asia's most diverse region-Yunnan Province. Yunnan is renowned for its rich ethnic cultures-over twenty-five tribal groups related to the Thais, Burmese, Tibetans, Hmong, Mongolians and Han Chinese. It is a melting pot of tastes and smells that shatters preconceived ideas that China is a large homogenous culture. The foods of the region enchant guests with spices reminiscent of India and Sichuan, fresh fish and vegetables similar to Vietnam and Hong Kong, and soups and hot pots echoing the historic connection between the region and the Mongolian Steppes.

Fri. Mar. 27: Historic Market, Shaxi, return to Linden Centre This morning we will have time to explore the village of Shaxi and see the historic Friday market. The original square where the market was held is now on the World Monuments List and is one of the most complete examples of intact trading centers along the ancient tea route. For lunch, we will visit a local hot pot restaurant. This family specializes in the making of smoked hams and they take care in choosing fresh ingredients and home-made condiments to flavor the hot pot soup. Their ham is famous throughout the region, so bring a hearty appetite today. Hot pot is a favorite way of eating in China these days.

Hmm, now here's my question, these numbers don't factor in digital sales, do they? I for one bought the game digital, it's one of those kind of games you'll always want to have on you.

I hear ya. I think the Wii U launch is different than any other launch in history because now the Wii U has caught up to the capabilities of PS3 and XBox 360. The Wii U launch isn't like XBox or PS3 (I think PS3 would have sold more if it wasn't always sold out). When a consumer has these 3 choices, they are still overwhelmingly picking the other two systems. Why is this?
I think it's going to be VERY interesting how next-gen Sony and Microsoft systems are next year because I have that same thought: what in the world, other than graphics, can the next-gen systems do to compel us to support the new systems? I think especially if digital games we purchased this generation on the aren't compatible on the next-gen systems, that could to a turnoff as there's nothing wrong with the current stores and they don't need an upgrade.
I understand your approach. I suppose if you look at it solely at revenue then it's a good thing. I truly just don't want to see my favorite company that I've invested so much money in have a console that doesn't convince third parties to put good content on the system, because it takes more than just Nintendo games to make a good console. The next 3 months or so don't look good software-wise. I sure hope that changes fast.
You don't think avoiding the 468K has a point? The Wii U was Nintendo's least selling platform in December and the lowest of the big three with stock available, so there wasn't a supply constraint. The Wii U also sold less than a $600 PS3 in 2006. As much as I love Nintendo, there's no defending it, this is not that good.
And how can you praise $30 more revenue than Wii launch when the Wii U is $50-$100 more?
You're kidding me, right? Why does this article fail to mention that Nintendo sold just 460k units in the U.S. in what is supposed to be the busiest shopping month of the year? For comparison, the XBox 360, in its 8th December, sold 1.4 million. There was not a Wii U supply constraint, and the Wii even outsold the Wii U.
