From the number-one New York Times best-selling author of the Mistborn Trilogy, Brandon Sanderson, comes the first book in a new, action-packed thrill ride of a series - Steelheart. Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics.
But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills.
Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them.
And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father. For years, like the Reckoners, David's been studying, and planning - and he has something they need. Not an object, but an experience.
He's seen Steelheart bleed.
And he wants revenge.

I read, I write; I listen
"He got the idea from a near traffic accident"
I always find it fascinating where writers get their ideas and, according to an article by Rachel Brutsch of the Deseret News, Brandon Sanderson was cut off in traffic one day and immediately thought of the other driver, "You're lucky I don't have super powers because I would totally blow your car off the road." That immediate thought horrified him; and he thought, "Its a good thing I don't have superpowers." Then he pondered, "What if the evil guys had all of the super powers?" That idea was the essence for his new Y.A. series, "Reckoning."
Steeheart is a super-villain. He is one of many that received their power from a star called Calamity that appeared in the sky one day. Most thought the people that received these new found powers would use them for the benefit of mankind; wrong. With ultimate power comes ultimate corruption.
Steelheart has the strength of 10 men. He's virtually indestructible, he can fly and when he's enraged he can turn inanimate objects into steel. He exercised that particular power to transform most of Chicago and part of Lake Michigan before becoming the emperor of "Newcago."
David Charleston was an eight year old boy when he saw Steelheart murder his father. Ten years has passed and David can think of only one thing; bringing Steelheart down. He is just a normal human and decides to recruit another group of humans, called "Reckoners" to help him. Reckoners study those like Steelheart, to learn their weaknesses.
This is a story that has been told many times, the struggle between good and evil, but this time Superman is not on our side; can good still win?
Its billed as a Y.A. book, and there is some romance that is usually associated with such genre, it does not, however, overwhelms the story; anyone that like Sci-Fi adventure should like this book. It is, after all, by Brandon Sanderson; and, by all indications it is the start of an epic tale.
I was shocked at how much I really like this book. At first I was worried it would turn out to be only so-so, but it totally wasn't. The surprise twists and character development and underlying moral lessons made this a fantastic book. I really hope the author does a sequel to this book soon.

"wondrous storytelling"
yes, but i couldn't. hey! i have a day job! LOL it took 2 days. after writing a bunch of SQL and LINQ code for 6 hours straight ON A SATURDAY, this story was a welcome reward. even though i had to be up on sunday at 7 a.m., i kept listening until i was finished at a little after 3 a.m. yup, i was totally engrossed!
i'm attracted to stories where a person or group of people are up against a seemingly impossible situation, and what's more impossible than trying to kill the most powerful super villain, especially when you have no superpowers yourself?
this is the situation our protagonist, david, finds himself in. david is at the bank with his father the day steelheart decides to take over Chicago. during a melee with another "epic," super-powered human, david's father manages to injure steelheart by accident. as any paranoid super villain would, steelheart decides to utterly destroy the bank and everyone in it to hide the fact that someone as seemingly impervious to any type of attack as he's supposed to be was some how injured. david barely manages to escape, and he knows that steelheart will go to any lengths to protect his secret.
there are layers of conflict in this story. the outer layers are obvious- the conflicts between battling epics for the domination and subjugation of normal humans. the middle layers- the conflicts between characters. the inner layers- the conflicts raging within each character. i can't say much more w/o spoiling some of the story. sanderson seamlessly weaves these layers together, creating a rich depthness of character, and you can't help but wonder what you'd really do. the characters connect with you, and each character's viewpoint is distinct enough that different listeners would undoubtedly decide which character's viewpoint matches their own. i actually found myself wavering between 2 drastically differing viewpoints- prof's and megan's. both are cogent arguments.
the pacing of this story is perfect. the action sequences are exciting, and the dialogue is spot on. it is meaningful and believable. there are a few nice twists and turns in the story.
the narration is great. i have been a fan of macleod andrews since i heard him narrate the sandman slim series. his gritty voice matches our young protagonist, david's. he also does a great job voicing the other characters.
"No Moral Compass, An Achilles Heel Exposed..."
Of all the scifi/fantasy audiobook genre to be found, one of my favorites is the superhero genre. Of course, it's nothing new - The greeks were all over this eons ago, and the story of Hercules is the penultimate hero, perhaps the culmination, of the genre' in its earliest era.
In this first of his "Reckoners" series, Brandon Sanderson has, as usual, moved into a fantastic departure from the typical. In this universe he's penned, the villains reign supreme, and the old adage "Ultimate power corrupts ultimately" is the norm. There are no superheroes, per se, as the various powers these unique individuals, or "epics," have acquired acquired so suddenly and completely have removed all moral boundaries and ethical limitations. The moral compass has been totally removed from the equation, and brutality rules supreme.
The epic in question, Steelheart, is a juggernaut that has little or no limits to his reign of terror. To him, the futile attempts of the government, rebels and even other epics to destroy him are not even a consideration. He is Hercules without conscience, and to him, we are afterthoughts, mere distractions compared his all-encompasing power and plans.
So, then, you ask, where is the story in all this?
This is a story of revenge, of desperation, of anger. It seems that this Hercules has an Achille's heel, a weakness that one ordinary man has quietly discovered, and is driven to both expose and deliver an end to this epic's reign of terror. This audiobook delivers plans within plans, a rich world with characters with varying motivations, and all at a strong pace, told by Sanderson in his always engaging and very entertaining writing. It's action from the very prologue through the ending of this first Reckoners novel. The narrator, Mr. Andrews, is strong, and worthy of the work.
Single words to describe this audiobook? How about: Engaging, Powerful, Entertaining to name a few?
For those of you who follow my reviews, look at my rating for this audiobook. It's HIGH, and it's EARNED it. It's quite rare for a novel to get this high of a rating from me - I'm BRUTAL in this regard, so when it DOES happen, you can be sure the work is well worth the listen.
And this audiobook is EXACTLY that.
If you enjoy Sanderson's body of writing, you're as excited as I am to see him dive head-first into this genre, and look forward with keen anticipation to the very next novel in the series.
Don't hesitate on this one - This is a "must buy" recommendation for your hard-earned Audible credit.
"Big Adventure and Exciting World-building"
Below is my review of the story, which I recommend strongly. First let me speak to the narration -- this is a strong reading and I found the narrator was overall a great fit. There is one challenge of the American South + Scottish character but the voices are distinct and clear and nicely arranged around the point-of-view character of David.
Sanderson's Steelheart introduces us into a world where, after a mysterious light appears in the sky, a few people emerge with super-powers. However, with these super-powers comes incredible anger and greed, and the "Epics" as they are called become tyrannical rulers of near-future earth.
In Chicago, now called Newcago and whose streets have been turned to steel by the power of its Epic lord Steelheart, we find young David, who as a child witnessed Steelheart's rise to take control of Newcago. Now, David watches and learns the powers and the weaknesses of the Epics, hoping to take them on directly. He's not alone, the Reckoners are a team of others who also work to overcome the incredible powers and corruption of the Epics.
Overall the story moves fast and remains fascinating as David learns secrets of the Epics and of the Reckoners and battles Epics directly and indirectly. Two pieces felt slow to me -- there is a ton of detail around each gun and weapon available to mere mortals. While the detail adds authenticity, it feels like people are talking a heckuva lot about gun mechanics all the time. There's also a philosophical debate regarding how to deal with the Epics -- makes for interesting discussion but felt like it bogged down in repetition.
Like other Sanderson novels, there's a lot of buildup and sudden overdrive in speed, tension, and twists at the very end, where many pieces come together and we have a satisfying conclusion. This payoff works well here, and I enjoyed every second of the endgame, and can't wait for the sequels, which will no doubt explore more about the Epics and their mysterious powers.
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. The story itself was novel (for me, anyway), and well written. I love a book that really gets me invested in the characters and between Sanderson and Andrews, this story was really brought to life. Andrews' narration was exemplary. As this is the start of a series, I really hope he reads for the next book, as well. I usually listen to books while running and I found myself listening to this one also while driving, cooking, cleaning...I couldn't walk away from it. Very enjoyable read and I would highly recommended it.

"Future Days Combats"
I was a little worry about this one just because I don't like reading 5 stars reviews on a title that I'm interested in, but I can totally see why that "Steelheart" is getting raving reviews from avid readers that like science fiction. Brandon Sanderson is an awesome writer and I need to read more from his list. If his other books are just as good as "Steelheart", I really need to keep this author on my radar.
I really enjoy reading sci fi. It helps me take a break from the norm and lets me escape and let my mind drift to another universe. This is why I love sci fi. Sanderson is a solid writer. Instead of building up mindless fluff, he writes his characters to be bad to the bone. Steelheart was like watching an action movie, expecting explosions at both ends.
I can't wait for more upcoming books to this series. I can't wait to read more of future days combats. It's like reading a graphic novel with many words.
"Eagerly Anticipating the Next Installment"
This book hit all the right notes for me.
1. The world has rules that are internally consistent, easy to understand, and has a level of depth that makes surprises possible.
2. The tone of the book is wonderful. It has the right amount of humor and drama mixed in at the right times. There are dark moments and light moments but these moments are intermixed and are not exclusive. There is a cynical humor or sober hope that spoke to directly to my particular tastes as a reader/listener.
3. The pacing is on the money. It is not a constant thrill ride of excitement that never gives you time to breath and enjoy the characters, setting, and tone. But it is also not a plodding mystery with miserly reveals. It struck just the right balance for me. That's a largely subjective metric, but it worked for me.
4. The highest praise I think you can give a series is continued patronage. And I will make sure to pre-order or purchase on opening day the next in this series.
I love sci-fi and fantasy books
"i like sanderson works"
the story is a varietion on the "great power corupts". i realy like the idea behind the story, and allthough at times it's very similar to sanderson other books it's still s good story and i like listening to it
Fantasy/Sci-Fi Fan
"A post-apocalyptic thrill ride."
Brandon Sanderson is a masterful writer and I look forward to anything he publishes but I hesitated to jump on Steelheart because Super Hero fiction is not at the top of my favorite genre list. However, it is a Brandon Sanderson story so I could not stay away for long...
A burst in the sky known as Calamity knocks society into a post-apocalyptic world ruled by Super Villains known as Epics. The story takes place in Newcago (formerly Chicago) where an Epic known as Steelheart ruthlessly establishes his dominion over both humans and lesser Epics. Everyone knows Steelheart is invincible and even the Reckoners, a group of humans rumored to hunt and kill Epics, won't mess with him.
However, young David Charleston has a secret that he has kept hidden for the last 10 years. He has witnessed something that no other living person ever has - he has seen Steelheart bleed. He hopes to somehow use this knowledge to exact revenge on Steelheart for killing his father but he knows he will never be able to do that by himself. That is where the Reckoners come in....
In true comic book superhero fashion this story is a thrill ride full of impossible situations and long odds for the good guys. Although it isn't very deep, the story kept me interested and Sanderson's characters all have unique and interesting personalities. MacLeod Andrews is excellent and he does a great job on the character voices. Although I may have been slow to start this series, once I finished Steelheart I did not hesitate to move on to the short story Mitosis and book 2, Firefight. If you are reading this review then I would suggest it is time for you to play catch up as well.
Note: if you a fan of Ex-Heroes by Peter Clines then I would think you would enjoy this book as well and vice-versa.

The Future of the Brain:
Including a chapter by 2014 Nobel laureates May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser
An unprecedented look at the quest to unravel the mysteries of the human brain, The Future of the Brain takes readers to the absolute frontiers of science. Original essays by leading researchers such as Christof Koch, George Church, Olaf Sporns, and May-Britt and Edvard Moser describe the spectacular technological advances that will enable us to map the more than eighty-five billion neurons in the brain, as well as the challenges that lie ahead in understanding the anticipated deluge of data and the prospects for building working simulations of the human brain. A must-read for anyone trying to understand ambitious new research programs such as the Obama administration's BRAIN Initiative and the European Union's Human Brain Project, The Future of the Brain sheds light on the breathtaking implications of brain science for medicine, psychiatry, and even human consciousness itself.
Contributors include: Misha Ahrens, Ned Block, Matteo Carandini, George Church, John Donoghue, Chris Eliasmith, Simon Fisher, Mike Hawrylycz, Sean Hill, Christof Koch, Leah Krubitzer, Michel Maharbiz, Kevin Mitchell, Edvard Moser, May-Britt Moser, David Poeppel, Krishna Shenoy, Olaf Sporns, Anthony Zador.
Gary Marcus is professor of psychology and neural science at New York University, visitor at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, and a best-selling author. His books include Guitar Zero: The Science of Becoming Musical at Any Age and Kluge: The Haphazard Evolution of the Human Mind. Jeremy Freeman is a neuroscientist at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute's Janelia Farm Research Campus.
"The narratives attempt thought-provoking arguments for the future of the brain and the implications on ethics and human behaviour. A fascinating book for readers of all levels."--Library Journal
"Dispatches from the scientific minds at the forefront of the quest to map and understand the myriad neural connections that constitute evolutions's most curious creation, the essays that make up The Future of the Brain serve as great primers in topics scientific and logistical: from memory and consciousness to the computer modeling of neural complexities to big-data analysis."--Bob Grant, The Scientist
"A book called The Future of the Brain: Essays by the World's Leading Neuroscientists cannot have modest ambitions. The editors and authors of this collection of essays do not disappoint on that score, taking a broad, well-informed view of recent and potential advances in neuroscience and their implications for the field."--Sandra Aamodt, Nature Neuroscience
"[The Future of the Brain] will leave readers both amazed and full of questions."--Richard E. Cytowic, New York Journal of Books
"[T]he Future of the Brain offers a broad spectrum of introductions to different fields of current neuroscience research, perfect for readers interested in going beyond basic neuroscience."--Chris Kaperak, Daily
"A wonderful way to launch yourself into the exciting world of twenty-first-century neuroscience, whether you are a scientist or an intellectually curious layperson. The power in this sampler is that the coverage is not just technical but conceptual: the essays probe the ways in which an understanding of the brain will and won't illuminate the mind, and they do so with depth and balance rather than the usual breathless hype."--Steven Pinker, author of The Language Instinct and How the Mind Works

The UC Davis Transportation and Parking Services recently encouraged everyone to consider alternative transportation. People should walk and bike. People should ride-share. As a result, people's health will improve, traffic congestion will decrease, fossil fuel use will decline, air quality will improve and global warming slows slightly. UC Davis could potentially set aside less land for parking lots.
What a win-win-win scenario. Indeed, the campus community drove fewer cars.
But fewer drivers mean lower parking revenues. Revenues plummeted. So, TAPS has hatched a plan to cover the shortfall by increasing fees and fines. Chancellor Linda Katehi approved TAPS to raise the daily visitor permit rate by $1 (from $8 to $9) effective Aug. 1.
The plan includes increasing the citation fines for parking violations by $5 with no pretension to promote law and order.
So, I worry that TAPS worries too much about its economic plight and has lost sight of the larger economy and the espoused Principles of Community of UC Davis as a "foremost institution of learning and teaching, committed to serving the needs of society."
To help TAPS avoid Levitt and Dubners' freaky trap of better-educated people being better extremists, TAPS should just reverse its policy and encourage everyone to gas up, fatten up and pollute up. Let's have a festive gas-up day once a month! That way, everyone could celebrate TAPS' message that the increased fines also help support a state-mandated surcharge to fund courthouse construction throughout the state.
Hear, hear to the good people of UC Davis. You've done well. But you should have known better than to trust TAPS to play anything but taps.

Efforts to halt organized pigeon shooting in Pennsylvania got a major boost last year when TV icon Bob Barker decided it was a cause worth ponying up $1 million for.
Since then the group that received the money, Illinois-based Showing Animal Respect and Kindness (SHARK), has stepped up their documentation and advocacy work on behalf of thousands of pigeons slaughtered each year in the shoots.
More than a decade after animal activists shut down the infamous Hegins pigeon shoot, efforts to rally support among lawmakers for legislation to ban pigeon shooting in Pennsylvania have not succeeded in the statehouse.

A woman whose pet finch was seized by the Pennsylvania Game Commission last month took her protest to the agency's Harrisburg headquarters today.
Patti Mattrick told commission board that game wardens verbally abused her, lied to her and threatened her when they removed the finch she had rescued four years earlier, saying she not a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, according to a report in the Lancaster Intelligencer Journal.

Sen. Robert Byrd, who died today at 92, is being remembered as a champion of animal welfare during his half-century in the U.S. Congress.
In one of many speeches devoted to animals on the Senate floor, Byrd in 2001 detailed the history of abuse of research animals that led to the passage of the Animal Welfare Act in 1966 and bemoaned the fact that inhumane treatment of pets and livestock continues:
It is because of my love for animals that I find it alarming to learn that inhumane treatment of pets, and livestock, is still widespread and becoming more barbaric...And while we have made progress, we cannot become apathetic to acts of cruelty, especially those aimed at our faithful and beloved pets. Respect for life, and the humane treatment of all creatures is something that must never be lost.

Sorry folks, Philly Dawg took a quick vacation to the Green Mountains of Vermont. She's back now to steamy central Pennsylvania with the following news updates:
It was pushing 90 degrees in the shade today in Lancaster County, do you wonder how the dogs in Pennsylvania kennels - many living in hot barns or outdoor hutches - are feeling? So do we. With the two-year anniversary of the new Pennsylvania Dog Law coming in Oct., the regulations proposed by the Canine Health Board governing temperature and ventilation in commercial kennels have yet to be finalized as they are still undergoing review by the Department of Agriculture. The regulations, drafted by a panel of veterinarians, set standards for how to keep kennels properly ventilated and maintain temperatures regulated during periods of extreme heat and cold. They also will cover ammonia levels and lighting in kennels. The regulations - when they are finalized by the Independent Regulatory Review Commission - will apply only to commercial kennels of which there are a dwindling number, which last stood at 111, compared with over 300 before the commercial kennel components of the law expanding cage size banning most wire flooring and requiring exercise and veterinary care. But today 81 of the 111 kennels have received waivers of up to three years to comply with the law. In addition, the vast majority of licensed kennels - more than 2,000 - do not fall under the commercial kennel laws governing temperature and ventilation.
Back from the brink... big news for the bald eagles of PA. The Pennsylvania Game Commission reports that so far this year, 192 bald eagle nests have been recorded in 50 counties – including all five counties southeast. As recently as 1983, only three Crawford County nests remained in the state, the result of poisoning from the now-banned pesticide, DDT. The 192 bald eagle nests recorded this spring - up from 170 last year - include eight that were built, but where pairs did not lay eggs. Counties supporting the largest numbers of known nesting pairs are: Crawford, 22; Lancaster, 16; Pike, 16; Mercer, 11; and York 11. Residents aware of a bald eagle nest – they are among the largest nests of all birds – in their area should consider reporting it to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. The easiest way to contact the agency and Doug Gross is through: email@example.com. Use the words "Eagle Nest Information" in the subject field.

In addition to being the state Capital, Harrisburg also is the trucking capital of the region. With a number of major interstates converging here, trucking and warehouse companies have paved over thousands of acres to park their trucks and store their goods.
A pet food pantry, which has helped feed countless numbers of rescued animals throughout the region has for 20 years been the beneficiary of the warehouse largesse, receiving donations of cat and dog food by the pallet load.
But times are tough in the warehouse business like elsewhere, and more operators choosing to sell the food at salavage rather than donate it, says Carla Haynes who runs the Animal Rescue Food Bank with her husband, Barry, in Wellsville, York County.

The ASPCA has launched the nation's first dog DNA database to help prosecute dog fighting cases.
The system is similar to the FBI's human DNA database, a computerized archive that stores profiles of criminal offenders and crime scene evidence. Canine CODIS, as it is known, contains individual DNA profiles of dogs seized during dog fighting investigations and from samples collected at suspected dog fighting venues.
"Dog fighting is a multi-million dollar criminal enterprise that contributes to the cruel treatment and deaths of thousands of dogs nationwide every year," says Tim Rickey, the ASPCA's Senior Director of Field Investigations and Response. "This database is a vital component in the fight against animal cruelty and will allow us to strengthen cases against animal abusers and seek justice for their victims."

The complexity of current software systems makes them
difficult to understand. Modern IDEs offer extensive sup-
port through advanced features such as searching for pro-
gram elements, free-form text queries, and visualizations of
type hierarchies. However, this support is limited by lan-
guage features such as polymorphism and dynamic bind-
ing. Dynamic analysis may be employed to overcome these
limitations. This method of analysis typically logs runtime
information of in a dynamic execution trace. Traces can be
analyzed to extract information about a running system and
visualized using UML sequence diagrams.
In our previous work [1], we conducted a study to de-
termine the requirements for supporting reverse engineer-
ing tasks using sequence diagrams within an integrated de-
velopment environment (IDE). We found that engineers re-
quire linked views of both the static and dynamic aspects of
their program to effectively understand their software. It is
particularly important for the views to be integrated with

source code.
Interactive Tools for Reverse Engineering (Diver)1tool.
Diver provides a completely new perspective for a devel-
oper's IDE, through what we refer to as a trace focused user
interface (UI). The user interactively creates a set of ex-
ecution traces that are displayed in a special view, called
the Program Traces View. Traces in this view can then be
selected by the user to both filter and highlight relevant in-
formation about the program execution. The user can now
interactively explore this information using standard IDE
views linked to our custom sequence diagram view and trace
search features. This trace focused UI approach is unique
because it is the first one to combine research in software vi-
sualization [1], dynamic analysis [2], software reconnaissance
[5] and task focused user interfaces [3].
Our findings led us to design the Dynamic
Diver is implemented as a set of plug-ins for the Eclipse
integrated development environment.2It offers a perspec-
tive that gives the user several views which help him or her
interact with source code and dynamic traces. All of the
views are linked to provide a rich interaction experience for
the user. Each of the views are designed or modified to
allow users to gain insight about the runtime behaviour of
their software through the use of dynamic execution traces.
Execution traces are created by the user through the stan-
dard Eclipse launch facilities and through specialised actions
contributed to the Eclipse Debug View (Fig. 1-A).
Central to the Diver perspective is the Program Traces
View (Fig. 1-B) which shows execution traces created by
the user.The traces are organized by launch name and
the date and time of the trace. Each thread of execution
contained in the trace is also accessible from this view.
The user can use the Program Traces View to open a vi-
sualization of a thread in Diver's custom Sequence Diagram
View (Fig. 1-C). Diver sequence diagrams are unique in
that they visualize runtime as well as source code informa-
tion. This is achieved through an algorithm which matches
method calls in the trace to the blocks of source code. These
matchings are used to display combined fragments that con-
tain method calls and to compact iterations of loops. Our
empirical study indicates that compacting loop iterations
can reduce the size of the sequence diagrams for industrial
software by up to 80% [4]. The sequence diagram is also

Figure 1: The Views of Diver
fully interactive. Lifelines, combined fragments, and activa-
tion boxes can all be expanded or collapsed to increase or
decrease the amount of information that is viewed. Every
element in the view is selectable, and the view supports key-
board navigation. The view can also be navigated using a
linked outline view (Fig. 1-D).
The Program Traces view can also be used to "activate"
a trace. Activating a trace does several things to change
the Eclipse user interface. First, it provides a code coverage
visualization. The Eclipse Source Code Editor (Fig. 1-E) is
marked with annotations that indicate the lines of code on
which methods were called during the trace.
Activating a trace also initiates software reconnaissance.
Software reconnaissance is a method for locating features in
source code by comparing information logged in multiple ex-
ecution traces [5]. Diver filters The Eclipse Package Explorer
(Fig. 1-F) so that only program elements that are referenced
in the active trace are visible. The user is also able to use
the Program Traces View to "hide" traces. This is done by
activating a trace and selecting one or more traces to hide
in the view. Hiding traces adjusts the Diver filter so that
only source code elements in the active trace, but not the
hidden traces, are visible. This enables users to locate fea-
tures in source code by focusing on program elements that
are unique to those features.
The Eclipse Package Explorer is also linked to the Diver
Sequence Diagram View. When a trace is active, users can
right-click on a class or method to reveal, in the Sequence
Diagram View, the first time it was referenced in a selected
thread in the trace. Other references to the selected method
or class can be revealed using a timeline widget which is
displayed at the very bottom of the sequence diagram. The
timeline is marked by vertical bars representing all of the
calls to the selected element in the Package Explorer.
Finally, every element in a trace may be annotated using
the standard Eclipse Properties View (Fig. 1-G). Annota-
tions can later be searched using the Diver Trace Search.
Wild-card searches for classes and methods are also sup-
Diver is implemented in Java and C++ and consists of
more than 35K classes. It uses the Java Virtual Machine
Tooling Interface3to generate traces of Java applications or
Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP) applications. Traces
contain data about method and constructor calls and re-
turns. Users can control which method and constructor calls
are stored by using a button supplied in the Eclipse Debug
View. The data is stored in binary files which are later an-
alyzed and indexed into a database. Information indexed
into the database can be controlled through customisable
"trace analysis filters". By default, Diver only indexes in-
formation related to source code in the project that defines
the Java application, or the plug-ins that define the Eclipse
RCP application. The process is scalable in our experience.
We have used Diver to analyze large software applications
such as the Eclipse IDE, the Jetty HTTP Server4and the
HSQLDB database.5
Diver combines research on trace visualization, software
reconnaissance, and task focused user interfaces to create
a unique user interface for program exploration. We have
performed a user study in which participants were asked to
use Diver to locate and analyze features of Diver itself. The
results of this study are promising and have been submitted
for publication. We are also currently logging information
from current users of Diver to investigate how they use the
tool. Diver is available as open source from our web site:

I guess "Softcore" is a bit of a four-letter word around here, but what are your favourite softcore movies? Mine are (amongst others): The sex Substitute (and I saw the cut version) All Ladies Do It. The Fruit is Swelling (Hong Kong movies) Weatherwoman (Japan. Not really erotica, but naughty.) Sex & Zen (HK movie) Confessions of a Window Cleaner (Only kidding!) In some ways I think softcore improves on hardcore, as, because they can't show actual sex, there is more of an emphasis on seduction and foreplay. But just when you're wanting some sex, there's a jump-cut and the scene has ended. Maybe I should watch the first half of a softcore movie and the last half of a hardcore movie instead. A few softcore TV shows were also quite good, and that includes "The Outer Limits".

I think the series format works better with softcore, as you don't need to cram in 7 or 8 sex scenes in an hour and a half of (usually dull) erotic thriller script. The 30-minutes format allows for more vignette-type erotica, and simpler stories. "Sexy Urban Legends", "Best Sex Ever" & "Hotel Erotica" are among my favourites series.
In terms of films, I'd recommend "Forbidden" with Renee Rea & Tracy Ryan, which had no dead bodies, no crime & no femmes fatales. "Illicit Lovers" was also much fun (I've got a soft spot for Steve Curtis). MRG & Torchlight are very formulaic, but every once in a while I'll fall on a scene or movie that will rock my world. From MRG, "Passionate Deceptions" had some of the best Kylie Wyote moments, "Haunting Desires" was also pretty cool. From Torchlight, those fine purveyors of 15-minutes sex scenes and JKP-level storylines, my favour goes to "The Escort Returns" , if only because of the studly Evan Kennsington, who's in every scene. Of all those cited, "Escort" is the only one you can find unrated on DVD.

I can see a pattern called Doug Jeffery here (or Lockjaw, as I like to call him) "House of Love" had a simulated money shot, and that's the first & only time I saw that in a softcore movie. For this reason, it deserves it place in the pantheon. The scene with the masked dancer in "Losing Control" is among my favourites. Great choices.

it's a real shame that you can't get the best erotica here in the U.S. anything by Tito Brass you'll have to pay big bucks for and lets not even talk about all the Lady Chatterly's Lovers films that have come out. aside from that I would say anything with the lovely Miss Julie Strain in it would be tops on my list. two places you might want to look to find some old fashion erotica would be Absurd Online it's an Euro site so it has a nice selection of DVDs, but none can be played in the U.S. the other site is Xploited Cinema which is a U.S./Euro site, but as you can see lots there to choose from.

There was a pretty good soft core movie done not to long ago called Young and Seductive with Julian Wells and Dru Berrymore. I thought it was pretty good, plus it was a fairly dark feature.
There was one series on in the US that was on... I think Showtime called Hot Springs Hotel. I loved that one. I thought it was really funny, and the lead guy was really good looking. I can't remember who was in it by name though... Oh, and Emmanuelle in Space with Krista Allen. (Both of those were kind of my first exposure to soft core erotica). I also am a fan of Red Shoe Diaries. There was one episode with the woman who played the mom in Pet Semetary where she plays a cop... really well done.
There is actually one that I've been trying to find, but I can't. I saw it a long time ago where there is this monk who has this HUGE penis (which you never see, but it keeps making his robe pop up), and there is one scene where he is walking down a path, and he comes to a fork in the road, and then prays for the right way to go, and his penis stands up, and points towards the right way. It was something with the word Golddigger in the title.

I'll have to check out some of these recommendations, buy them of DVD. (And I wonder where my money goes!)
Another maker of good softcore is Walerian Borowczyk. His "Immoral Tales" was pretty good and "The Beast" was interesting.
Channel 5 here in the UK used to show (edited) softcore movies and TV shows. Some were so heavily edited they were useless, but others were quite good. And then the pop singer Adam Faith died, and his last words were "That Channel 5 is a bit shit, isn't it?", and so they got stopped showing softcore. However Channel 5 tries to sneak the odd softcore movie in when they think nobody's watching.
Funny thing is, Channel 5 is still shit.

Just watched All Ladies Do It by Tinto Brass -- great fun, gorgeous women, sensationally sexy outfits and plenty of sex even if it was softcore -- sex wth context and humour, loved it.

Did you see that Brad was part of "7 Lives Exposed" 's new season ? Can't say that I'm a fan, but he's a pro. My favourite Doug Jeffery would have to be "Indecent Behavior 3" which, if you can find it unrated, is a feast for the eyes, as his marble butt can be seen a-plenty in a couple of super-hot sex scenes.

I'm going to assume Walter that "inserts" is intentional ...thanks for the info, I'm watching the editions put out through Cult Epics in the three DVD set mentioned around here some time ago. I've yet to watch "The Key" -- perhaps tomorrow. "All Ladies Do It" will need watching again -- we got distracted.

I've got to say in "All Ladies Do It" we also see many more angles used to capture the sex even if or because it is softcore. In one scene there's a stunning few moments with Claudia Koll, bent with her lover behind her -- shot from straight on -- looking at her face with him in the background, capturing her reactions,emotion and movement, we know what's going on very clearly, we get a feel for what she may be feeling and it's extremely sexy. In a hardcore film we'd have seen his dick in her pussy from every angle and little else.

La Bete "The Beast" is a good sexy movie, but the simulated ejaculation comes not from a human male, but from the beast himself. It looks like lumpy porrige ebing squeezed through the end of a rubber hose, so I don't think this is a title to hunt down.
I have also heard that the version of "All Ladies Do It" available in the US and UK are edited, so maybe it's an idea to hunt down the uncoensored original. (Maybe try the DVD sites mentioned earlier.)

For Tinto Brass, I found large parts of Salon Kitty to be hot, in spite of its heavy Nazi theme. For lighter Tinto Brass, I enjoyed Ferma Posta Tinto Brass, especially the Cinzia Roccaforte scenes.
For Borowicz's work, I still have the tape of Immoral Tales that I taped off cable TV about 10 years ago, and still watch it a couple of times a year.

Kafka thanks for the heads up on the other Tinto Brass movies, I think I'm going to get some more, we've enjoyed them very much. Over dinner last night my sweetheart was saying how sexy he thinks the films are, with all the little teasing moments, flashes of sexy clothing and the good natured fun of the whole thing. I agree.
pil008 Here's the info on the three dvd set -- a mini review that links to Cult Epics from whom I got my films.

British directors Pete Walker and Michael Winner (yeah, the guy who did "Death Wish" with Charles Bronson in the early Seventies) made some classic softcore pictures in 1960's. A favorite of mine would be Walker's "Cool It Carol," if only for its perfect depiction of London in the Swingin' Sixties and lines like "She moves like a Swiss watch!"
On the other hand, Winner's "I'll Never Forget What's 'is Name" remains a potent testament of the disillusionment of the late Sixties. Sad, poignant, and very, very sexy.

There seems to be ever more 70's-80's Euro and US softcore coming out on DVD from various specialty distributors. They're usually available at the art/horror/cult movie video shops, if the town is large enough. Recently there's DVDs of Radley Metzger, Jess Franco, Joe D'Amato (Laura Gemser flicks) that haven't seen the light of day in years.

I can't believe no one mentioned Radley Metzger's work.
He was a pioneer of softcore AND hardcore erotica.

I knew Micheal Winner made numerous "cutie nudies" (if that was what they were called) before going onto making movies about murderous vigilantes. Sadly he went down from there and is best known now for selling car insurance.
I haven't heard of Pete Walker so I'll have to do some digging on him.
Another great British filmmaker who dabbled in the erotic is Ken Russell. A sadly underrated director.

Can "Showgirls" be considered softcore? I think Elizabeth Berkley's strip is fantasticly erotic. Shame about the rest of the movie.
Other favourite scenes from other movies:
Linnea Quigley's strip in "Return of the Living Dead".
The temptation scene from "The Wicker Man"
The paiting scene from "Titanic". (Yeah, I'm soppy.)
The "ritual" scene from "Eyes Wide Shut".
Most of "Basic Instinct".
The list could go on and on.

I found "Flesh Gordon" erotic and funny, but I haven't seen it in years. I understand the colors are a bit washed and there is grain. But hey, it might make for a good rental.

Possibly the best Maria movie out there is "The Key To Sex" , considered a classic by the skinemax crowd. Her g/g scene with (I think) Amber Herrel paved the way for the new degree of explicitness that is now considered the norm in PPV erotica.

Flesh Gordon is an enjoyable movie, although I didn't find it that erotic. However I'm sure some hardcore was going on in Emperor Wang's throne room.
The Maria Ford Collection sounds interesting, although I don't think any of them are available in the UK. As usual I'll have to import them. Sleazy B-movies are a passion of mine.
And don't forget one of the most influential softcore movies ever: Emmanuelle. I've only seen the first movie and found it boring. To say the least.
And nobody has yet mentioned the great, late, Russ Meyer.

I remember these three films distinctly. actually, I'm not that sure about Joy though. I think it is a film that I captured while taping something one late night. when I returned to the room it had this woman in it getting fucked on a horse. couldn't believe it. guy was sittin' behind her and just slipped it in somehow.
'80s version of Fanny Hill is priceless though. would really like to have that one on DVD.
someone tell me if I'm wrong about Joy and if I'm not where I can buy it at as well.

yes, I remember seeing this one. didn't think it was strange or erotic at all. just a lot of tease which I had enough of when I was in high school
has anyone named any of Shannon Tweed's films yet? those were pretty outregous before she married Gene Simmons and stopped even the simulated stuff.

I remember a lot of Shannon Tweeds soft core stuff, but I never really remember the names. I would always catch them on late night TV when I was younger. I remember she did one with Richard Grecco or someone... and then the last one I remember was Rowdy Girls. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw her on "The Parkers" a few nights ago. I had sudden flashbacks to when I was in junior high. Scary stuff. When I was younger I always prefered Shannon Whirry over her. The Granny has to be a total piece of shit classic!
There are also a few soft core movies out there with Bobby Johnston that I remember. I think one was something like "I Like To Play Games Too" or something like that. I really liked Bobby Johnston. I think he's done some stuff on Queer as Folk recently, and I remember seeing a few nude pics of him that he did for a magazine spread. I wonder what he's up to now.

Keko Mask is actually being released here (at least a few of the sequals). The movie is actually called Kekko Kamen. There is a short non-pornographic animated series that has been available here for a while, and it just came out on DVD. The live action is coming from Media Blasters (they have the Zero Woman series and Sumo Vixens).

Christophe Nassif commented on a link
I think the blog and its intent are great, especially for English speakers who come to Paris. However, I find it a little exaggerated to say that it's all dying. There are 82 farmers markets in the city, according to the City Hall's website (http://equipement.paris.fr/?tid=289), and as I walk throughout the city, I see farmers markets all the time.
Are there less than 10 years ago? Perhaps, I wasn't there, I cannot say. But I do not believe the situation to be as disastrous, and I feel Parisians are increasingly going local as well, right along with an overall gentrification of the city.
On top of going to their local markets, some Parisians are buying local online, whether directly from Rungis (mon-marche.fr), or going to a delivery point to pick it all up from the producers, called "La Ruche Qui Dit Oui!" http://www.laruchequiditoui.fr

Author has written 15 stories for Harry Potter.
Hey Y'all.
Greetings from sunny South Carolina!
I've been a huge fanfiction fan for years. Mostly Star Trek Voyager. Kate Mulgrew rocks! Recently became a Harry Potter fan. Love McGonagall/Granger pairings.
Hermione Granger & Minerva McGonagall are my favorite characters. I think if JKR played for my "team" (grin) these two ladies may have ended up together anyway. WoooHooo!
Things I like: sunsets over Charleston Harbor, cuddling up with that special gal and listening to the rain fall on a lazy Sunday afternoon, watching the sun rise over The Isle of Palms, MM/HG fanfiction regardless of the quality (there's so few of us out there, we gotta stick together), perfect honesty with no hidden agendas, kosher dill pickles!
Things I don't like: Taking other writers ideas and making them your own and not giving credit where it is due. People who cannot or will not take responsibility for their own actions. Unfinished stories. Broken hearts -- especially mine.
There's a certain brown eyed Brit out there whom I think is mighty special. I wish her well.
..."I'm a willow, I can bend"... That pretty much sums up my life at the moment.

Agree Biren, I think when NG hit $3.60 the MM's priced in a larger draw in combination with this cold weather....Now that the draw was 174 instead of lets say 200 they overshot to the downside IMO and should move it higher ahead of what will be the largest draw in 2 years next week followed by another large draw in 2 weeks. The forecast will also play into the mix over the next 2 weeks so I see $3.70 as being a strong possibility ahead of next weeks report...... I consider NG to be bullish with higher lows each week......MM's are also surely going to start playing the summer cooling season as soon as late Mar, early April.....

I'm in the middle of college right now and I would never breed her if I was in a postition where I couldn't take care of her or the foal, but I'm hoping once I'm out of college and settled down I will have the chance!

Oft-injured outfielder Tommy Pham recently underwent surgery to correct blurred vision, giving the Springfield Cardinals' 2011 center fielder renewed hope of salvaging his career.
"I'm really optimistic as far as my vision," Pham said recently. "This surgery, it only makes you feel extremely positive knowing the benefits of it. It just reduces (the symptoms)."
Pham, who turns 24 on March 8, has long intrigued scouts, who project him as a fourth outfielder in the big leagues -- mainly because he is a singles-doubles hitter, runs well and plays above-average defense. ...

With this latest test, Storage Switzerland wanted to find out if the Gridstore grid-based storage solution was a true fault tolerant system as claimed. "We set up a test scenario writing files continually to the test system and failed a node to see what would happen," said George Crump, senior analyst, Storage Switzerland. "As a result of the node failure the test application experienced no hesitation, nor did we see any change in performance."
Once the test was completed the failed node quickly re-synced itself into the grid. The re-sync process was seamless and there was no need to repopulate the restarted node from scratch. The system was able to do a quick comparison of data and it returned to operations with no business disruption, data loss, or performance degradation.
Gridstore uniquely combines virtualization with a grid processing platform to deliver a single pool of storage that simplifies management while increasing performance, scalability and reliability. Gridstore provides a building block approach to capacity scaling so customers can start small and incrementally add nodes. This eliminates the need to overprovision costly resources and removes the management complexity and risk of traditional clustered storage models.
