The Island of Malta region
The country is made up of three islands with Malta the largest and most popular, Gozo
second and the tiny island of Comino wedged in between its two larger neighbours.
In terms of history, Malta has plenty of it with 7,000-year-old temples
which out date the pyramids and Stonehenge. There are also numerous fortified cities around the island, a legacy of the country's long association with the knights of St John.
Due to its geographical location at the heart of the Mediterranean, Malta has always been popular with the bigger European countries – a popularity that often involved people invading and occupying it.
Today, however, Malta is a totally independent country and fiercely proud of it. A member of the European Union, Malta's economy is increasingly based on the service industry boasting, as it does, a fine pool of human resources. information Technology is playing an increasing role in the Maltese economy as are industries like language teaching and call centres.
In terms of climate, Malta is what you would describe as typically Mediterranean. Hot, Long sunny days make up more than half the year with a summer that lasts for anything up to six months. And winters aren't exactly cold either with very little rainfall throughout the year.
The local currency is the Euro, which was introduced in January 2008 replacing the Maltese lira. The time zone is central European – in otherwords GMT+1 and the official languages are Maltese and English.
Malta is also a very religious country with the vast majority of inhabitants Roman Catholic. So no great surprise then that there are enough churches scattered around to allow you to visit one every day for a year without ever going to the same one twice. More than anything else though, Malta has one superb unique selling point – its people. You have to go a long way to find a more kind, warm and welcoming collection of individuals who have close ties with Great Britain.
St. Paul's Bay
St Paul`s Bay is an old fishing village with newer and more touristic areas of Bugibba and Qawra close by. These are full of Bars, fabulous local restaurants serving excellent local wine, night clubs, beaches and water sports outlets. Not to be missed are the one day cuises that depart from Bugibba, which take in all of Malta's highlights, which include caves, secluded sandy beaches and the most beautiful of all the Blue lagoon. Other palces of interest like Valletta, Mdina, Rabat, Dingli, Blue Grotto, Marsaxlokk fishing village and market.
The three cities -Isla, Bormla & birgu, Mosta dome,Paradise bay, Blue lagoon,Gozo, comino, Calypso's Cave, Ramla l hamra, Popeye's village, Ta Qali crafts centre, Ggantija temples with all the usual family orientated pursits like the splash and fun park etc. are all very close to the apartment and all within easy reach by bus ( bus terminus 5 mins walk), nowhere on the island is more than a 40 minute bus ride away!

Once again we were not disappointed with either the accommodation or the area, spotless clean with everything provided, fantastic huge terrace and modern design apartment, great location with loads of great bars and restaurants close by. Highly recommended.

"Fantastic apartment, beautiful views"
We stayed for one week with our 3 young children. The penthouse is fantastic - well furnished and equipped and spotlessly clean, everything we needed to feel at home during our holiday. The views from the huge terrace are beautiful and it is an ideal place to sit and relax. The street below is busy but you don't really notice it too much from the apartment itself. The resort itself has plenty of good restaurants etc and there are lovely beaches and places to visit within easy driving distance. We have really enjoyed our break and will definitely be holidaying in Malta again. Thank you Karen! :0)
24 Sep 2012
Karen was helpful from the moment we enquired about the apartment to the moment we got home checking if everything was ok. She would reply straight away and answer any silly questions I had. The apartment was fantastic with modern furnishings and the best view ever! We would watch the sun go down every night. It is a central location with the beach/shops/restaurants within a 5 min walk. I would definately return!!
7 Aug 2012
The penthouse is in the most perfect location, everything you would need for a great holiday all within walking distance. The penthouse was spotless and very well equipped with modern fittings and furniture , the outside space was extremely generous with views to die for, we watched the sun go down every night, it was mesmerising. Although only just returned we have booked again for next year, can't imagine staying anywhere else. Thank you Karen.

"Spin the middle side topwise...topwise!"
I am comically serious yet seriously comical. StackOverflow tells me to become human here, which I will do unmitigated.
Can I find a job where it matters if I've read Knuth, Arora, Vazirani, or Rudin? Can I find one where I am encouraged to? Tinkering and gadget-lust is not enough. I seek greatness.
Will he lose a finger? Maybe, but he will gain a finger of knowledge in his brain. Peggy Hill
Part lab, part shop, my dream job will surround me with people whose intelligence humbles me. My coworkers should push me to stop being a "sound absorber" like the kind Richard Hamming decried. It is time to stop sabotaging myself. I hereby reject mediocrity. I seek the truly ambitious. The road to intellectual greatness cannot be traveled alone.

Developer | Protect America
March 2010 – September 2011
I've worked on several Django projects here, including Django components in all of the below projects. I help configure Slicehost slices for our internal projects, and I brainstorm daily with my coworkers on software design decisions.
interconnect - a run on credit
I redesigned our internal credit check system. I replaced old PHP code with a Django application that runs consumer credit checks on Equifax's InterConnect service. Every sale our company makes depends on this code, which runs a significant number of credit reports per day. Consequently, its correctness, reliability, and responsiveness are vital.
The code accounts for many edge cases in the service's possible responses, and, unsurprisingly, was developed entirely from experimental data because the InterConnect service's documentation is so incorrect that it may as well be for a completely different web service.
snippr - a server on udp
I built out one of our business-critical network applications. Communicating with home security panels, it tracks configurations, firmware version info, and other panel information; writes new configurations; and updates panel firmware over the net. It is used every day to configure every security panel that gets shipped out to customers, and when something goes wrong I stay however long it takes to fix the problem. I transformed a one-off script used internally on a few panels at a time into a robust platform for network communication. It uses Python and communicates over UDP sockets using TDEA encryption. I am successfully rebuilding a performance-critical portion of the server in Google's Go language.
crimedata - a munge of reality
I transformed the Table 8 spreadsheet of the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports into usable, searchable, structured data in a database. I implemented some silly "ranking" algorithms to assign letter-grades to cities, and I provided Django management commands to simplify the process of munging & ranking new data in the future. Again, the ranking is silly, but the data munging is notable. It involved reconciling the FBI's list of city names with actual latitudes & longitudes, doing geographic calculations for nearest-city searching, and providing an interface for "Did you mean?"-style fuzzy searching.

Does Exercise Intensity affect Blood Pressure?
Jeff Mills, Becka Ormsbee, Sarah Perzow
CU-Boulder, Fall 2007
The problem of how exercise affects blood pressure is important for research because it can further our understanding of cardiovascular disease, and overall health. Anyone who has ever done any physical exercise knows that exercise increases the demand on the heart. Our group wanted to test specifically if exercise had a significant influence on systolic blood pressure (sBP), diastolic blood pressure (dBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP). SBP is when blood empties from the heart into the blood vessels. DBP is measured when blood returns to fill the heart. MAP is the average pressure responsible for driving blood forward into the tissues through the cardiac cycle. We determined MAP with the equation MAP=dBP+1/3(sBP-dBP). We hypothesized that as exercise demands increase, the workload of the heart will increase.
To test our hypothesis we designed an experiment that would test the BP values of our participants against a set increase in exercise intensity. We used a stationary bike, and a digital sphygmomanometer to measure BP values. Our three subjects had their sBP and dBP measured after three minutes of pedaling at level five on the bike, after 3 minutes at level 10, and after 3 minutes at level 15. As a controlled variable, we made sure that each participant did not stop between levels, so heart rate and BP was not affected by a sudden stop in exercise. Each participant was also tested at the same levels, pedaling between 60 and 70 RPM's, so exercise intensity remained the same for each subject for the same amount of time at each level. As an experimental control, we tested each subject at rest. Before testing our hypothesis, we predicted that our data would show an increase in sBP, dBP, and MAP along with the increase in exercise.
Our results demonstrated a consistent increase of sBP, dBP, and MAP with the increasing levels of exercise. We ran regressions on the sBP, dBP, and MAP values we measured. For sBP, the significance of F was 0.000790671; for dBP, F=0.01686628; and for MAP, F= 0.007844869. Because the F values we found for all three regression tests are below the critical value of 0.05, the relationship between exercise and blood pressure is significant.
Our results were consistent our hypothesis that as exercise demands increase, the workload of the heart, or blood pressure, will also increase because our results showed a significant relationship between exercise intensity and blood pressure. Although our data supported our hypothesis, this experiment could be improved by using a larger sample size. We also were unable to measure the levels of intensity on the stationary bike in units, like watts. To control the level of intensity more effectively we would use a stationary bike that can be set to watt levels, rather than just using level 5, 10, and 15.
There were a number of experiments on the CABLE web page that tested other factors' influence on BP, such as music and stressful visual stimuli. In both tests, Wang et al. 2006 and Krohn et al. 2006, the results showed an increase in blood pressure with louder music and more stressful visual images. Our experiment could be taken even further and be applied to current health studies to determine the intensity of exercise required to significantly lower resting blood pressure in individuals with dangerously high blood pressure, as well as the importance of regular exercise for overall cardiovascular health.

Aviation Security:
Challenges Exist in Stabilizing and Enhancing Passenger and Baggage Screening Operations
GAO-04-440T: Published: Feb 12, 2004. Publicly Released: Feb 12, 2004.

(202) 512-4800
Securing commercial aviation is a daunting task--with hundreds of airports and thousands of flights daily carrying millions of passengers and pieces of baggage. In an effort to strengthen the security of commercial aviation, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) was created and charged with making numerous enhancements to aviation security, including federalizing passenger and baggage screening and screening checked baggage using explosive detection systems. To assess the progress of passenger and baggage screening operations, GAO was asked to describe TSA's efforts to (1) hire and deploy passenger and baggage screeners, (2) train the screening workforce, (3) measure screener performance in detecting threat objects, and (4) leverage and deploy screening equipment and technologies.
TSA met its mandate to establish a federal screener workforce by November 2002, but continues to face challenges in hiring and deploying passenger and baggage screeners. Staffing shortages at some airports and TSA's hiring process have hindered TSA's ability to fully staff screening checkpoints without using additional measures, such as overtime. In addition, while TSA has taken steps to enhance its screener training programs, staffing shortages and lack of high-speed connectivity at airport training facilities have made it difficult for screeners at some airports to fully utilize these programs. TSA has also undertaken several initiatives to measure the performance of passenger screeners in detecting threat objects. These efforts include increasing covert testing at screening checkpoints and conducting annual recertifications of screeners. While TSA is making progress in measuring the performance of passenger screeners, it has collected limited performance data related to its baggage screening operations. However, TSA has begun collecting additional performance data related to its baggage screening operations, and plans to increase these efforts in the future. TSA also continues to face challenges in deploying and leveraging screening equipment and technologies. TSA deployed Explosive Detection Systems and Explosive Trace Detection equipment to all airports to screen checked baggage. However, TSA has been unable to fully utilize this equipment to screen 100 percent of checked baggage due to screener shortages, and equipment out of service for maintenance and/or repairs. When this equipment is not available, TSA continues to screen checked baggage using alternative means. TSA also has ongoing initiatives designed to increase the efficiency of screening checked baggage, including implementing in-line baggage screening systems and streamlining screening processes. TSA is also conducting research and development (R&D) activities to strengthen passenger and baggage screening. These efforts are designed to improve detection capability, performance, and efficiency for current technologies, and to develop next generation screening equipment. TSA faces a number of challenges with its R&D program, including balancing funding with competing priorities, and working with other components of the Department of Homeland Security to develop a strategy for merging their R&D programs.

KRG hits back at Iraqi oil minister's media statements
The issue of oil has long been a source of friction between the Iraqi government and the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region. In fact, the dispute is over the control of oil revenues and oil fields. A recent exchange of barbs between the two sides has promptedIraq's Kurdistan Regional Government has hit back at Iraqi oil minister Abdul Kareem Luaibi who has recently threatened-- in an interview -- to slash the region's 17 percent share of the national budget and sue Anglo-Turkish oil firm Genel Energy for exporting crude oil from the region. A statement from Massoud Barzani-- the president of the semi-autonomous Kurdish government says: "Iraq's citizens are simply tired of this sort of language of threat and intimidation, which in the cynical pursuit of narrow political agendas serves only to create division and strife." A preliminary deal between Baghdad and BP would see the British oil giant revive a dilapidated oil field in the disputed, oil-rich Kirkuk city. Iraq's constitution says: "The federal government, with the producing governorates and regional governments, shall undertake the management of oil and gas extracted from present fields… and this shall be regulated by a law." The Kurdish government says the term "present fields" refers to fields that were active when the constitution was passed in 2005. Kirkuk is one such field. This is why Kurdish officials say they must be included in the management of Kirkuk field. The Kurdish government accuses the federal oil minister of "appearing to incite violence in Iraq's disputed territories". The minister has said that oil company Exxon Mobil "should expect opposition from residents in the disputed areas". Exxon has a deal with the Kurdish government and some of the company's oil fields are in Iraq's disputed areas. At least 25 people died in an unrelated suicide bombing in the volatile, disputed Kirkuk city on Wednesday. The semi-autonomous Kurdish government says it could now be exporting 500,000 barrels per day or some $18 billion per year had it not been for what it calls the federal government's "obstructionist policies". The KRG says that money would cover the region's annual budget of about $10 billion and provide extra billions for Iraqi people. But Baghdad is adamant that Kurdistan must stop what it calls illegal oil smuggling.

Hello, I'm in Ottawa too.
Are the bodies just basic Nikon F bodies? Pretty easy to do, and there are two repair shops in Ottawa - Camera Trading company has a tech, and there is Canadian Camera Repair at 250 Albert, downtown at Bank.
Nikon lenses are probably pretty straight-forward too, to clean up. Only thing is that the lens mount screws are glued-in and often damaged by someone who doesn't use the proper care to loosen them. I understand that heat is needed to melt the glue.
I wonder if Kindermann in Toronto would do them; their expertise is Leica.
I did a quick google and came up with some shops in Toronto too, e.g. Toronto Camera Services, Kominek, even Vistek and Henry's.
Good luck

re: Star Trek Redux
This doesn't really fit (by format) this sub-forum's 1st 2 header threads; I hope moderation will be as gentle as I invite readers' critiques to be harsh!
What follows is a header statement for an as-yet nonexistent website. As thoughtful as folks here are, I figured feedback from square one would be to my benefit. Does this say too much? Too little? Do I come off badly in tone? As all writers ask, would you want to read more?
David Winfrey
Original Series era fan film?
Not exactly. Nor is Star Trek Redux a re-imaging of TOS. Exactly.
Over a decade ago, I wrote some essays as to what Id do if given the authority to re-make Star Trek. My first goal was an obvious fannish one (since realized with Star Trek Exeter, New Voyages/Phase II, and others) to recreate on screen the fantastic sets and imagery of Star Trek, which I believed could capture an audience even decades after their creation, and to tell new stories set in that universe. The larger goal was the same as Gene Roddenberrys in 1964: to use a believable science fiction format to tell stories outside the parameters of acceptable contemporary television narratives.
Despite the relaxation of broadcast standards, certain issues remain untouchable, even on cable. Capitalism, patriarchy, polygamous and/or polyandrous sexual mores, above all the mixed ramifications not of fundamentalist religion, but of religion per se remain generally outside the scope of television storytelling.
In 1964, a utopian future Starship boasted a female second in command, a multi-racial crew, and a token alien on the bridge. A year or so into production, it was realized that
of course
the Enterprise should have a Russian crewmember.
Of what would a contemporary vision of a utopian future consist?
In 2002, I penned a two-hour pilot script introducing the newly-launched Starship Endeavour, its captain Fazal Allende a practicing Muslim. My navigator was a Chinese woman, my helmsman a gay man, my science officer Richard Daystroms son, my Engineer and First Officer female, my chief medical officer a Vulcan, my transporter officer a three-legged, three-armed Edoan. Had Star Trek Redux debuted back then (on TV or online), its vision of a unified future Earth would, I think, have struck more nerves than did Star Treks Lieutenant Uhura across the American south.
Overwhelmed by the impossibility of the project, I put Redux aside. But the concept refused to leave my mind. In time, another fan joined me of his own free will, I should add in fleshing out Redux. New characters were developed, a pair of villains introduced, story arcs worked out, scripts written and polished. In time, a seven season series took shape, my pilot followed by major events, developing storylines, and a projected conclusion. At present, about 20 episodes (all but the first forty-minute, four-act teleplays with teasers) exist, along with another 80 or so story ideas (all told, about one-half our would-be series) as well as a projected spinoff set in the Mirror universe.
Certain aspects of Star Trek Redux are apt to take long-time fans aback. As this websites headers illustrate, the Starship Endeavour is not exactly the Constitution class we have come to know. Nor are its technologies and operating characteristics quite in line with those dubbed canonical. Neither divergence, however, is intended as difference for differences sake. Rather, they are based upon a painstaking examination of what the Original Series (and to some degree, its sequels) showed. A shuttlecraft large enough to stand erect in (whose interior would not fit into the soundstage exterior prop), dwarfed as depicted on-air by her motherships hangar deck, leads to the inescapable conclusion that Enterprise was more than 947 feet in length. A standard orbit from which a Starship would if powerless quickly plummet is in fact not an orbit at all. An impulse drive capable of taking a Romulan warbird readily into and out of Federation space, of outpacing the planet-killer, of completing a journey to Regula requiring twelve hours at warp speed of taking a Galaxy-class saucer
from where Geordi left it and Argyle stationary when returning to the arsenal of freedom is not a merely sublight propulsor. It is for these and other reasons that my pilot script like the Next Generation premier takes its time in introducing not just crew, but vessel. Neither are revisionist for the sake of empty theatre, or purposeless grandeur but both are unfamiliar, despite decades age. Thus, Star Trek Redux.
This website presents Redux in its entirety, as it presently exists. Not a frame of imagery has been shot, not a foot of soundstage constructed. For the present, Star Trek Redux lacks a cast, a crew, a budget. Its production staff consists at present of two men writing words. Just words. Good words? We think so. And with those words, we hope to spark the idea in others that
fan film too should see its genesis.

Author has written 61 stories for CSI: Miami, Mentalist, CSI: New York, CSI, Misc. Plays/Musicals, NCIS, and Criminal Minds.
Time for an update:
2015 so far has been hell but least a certain assdouche is outta the mix and she so sucks as Mac on sites but she can friggin' burn and I'm gonna be updating some fics here but others are on the back burner for now until the muse gets into gear, anyway...
There are people who are my besties and know who they are, but a certain idiot is just a spinless oaf who needs taking down a peg or two and just know how to do it, but the music I had mentioned on the old bio remains the same but with a few differences and new shows to be written up for, which will be done at a later date when things are at a better place and time...
I'll try to update as many fics as I can but it takes time to do so with these but the new ones I added will be getting updates as soon as the chapter for them is ready to go but none of these will be rushed and will try to get as much done before I go for surgery which could be anytime now...

"The comedy-classical combat show of the affable German pair Andreas Kern and Paul Cibis returned after a successful debut… It's serious Classical music in a whole new context – and you decide the winner."
Time Out
"PIANO BATTLE has the elegance of classic music, the excitement of rock and the energy of hip-hop. "
Newsies, South Korea
"As the competition got white-hot, the performers and the audience found themselves unable to sit back down … as the crowd looked on, nervous and excited, immersed in the beauty and tension of the music … And when the smoke clears, the only thing that's been defeated is the barrier between classical music and the audience."
map Magazine
"The intensity and music heats up with every round."
HK Magazine
"The piano battle between the young men facing each other at the two Yamaha grand pianos is a publicly staged and artfully performed contemplation of the classical concert business as well as classical music itself. Andreas Kern and Paul Cibis purposefully present their expertly executed craft in the wrong – an athletic — context and let the unique qualities of their performance shine even brighter this way. Between the comedic remarks and over the course of a lovely Schubert Impromptu and a biting Ligeti piece, they compel the audience to engage in the focused mindfulness that is necessary to truly appreciate music."
Berliner Morgenpost
"… Andreas Kern and Paul Cibis are internationally successful pianists. They could have simply enjoyed a career that followed the usual concert circuit, but that's not what's on their mind. In the Piano Battle, they challenge each other in an energetic fight for quality and acclaim…"
Der Tagesspiegel

Milwaukee Area Technical College President Michael Burke is one of three finalists for chancellor of the Riverside Community College District in California, which includes three colleges, officials there have announced.
All three finalists are college presidents and have been invited to speak in public forums and candidate interviews in the district that includes Riverside City, Moreno Valley and Norco colleges.
Burke, who has been president of MATC since 2010, is scheduled to be there from May 28-30. If he gets the chancellor's job, he would return to the state where he worked before Wisconsin.
Burke became president at San Jose City College in 2007 and was there until he accepted the MATC job. The two other finalists for the Riverside post already work in California: Saddleback College President Tod Burnett and Sacramento City College President Kathryn Jeffery.
Burke, 62, has more than 25 years of experience in community colleges in Texas, Idaho and California. He has a PhD in educational administration and master's and bachelor's degrees in English.
Michael Rosen, president of the union representing MATC staff, speculated Friday that Burke is looking to leave because of political upheaval in Wisconsin. "It's not hard to connect the dots," Rosen said. "Without the support from the state, there are greener pastures elsewhere."
Burke denied that. "Absolutely not," he told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "It does not factor into this at all. That's pure speculation on his part."
Burke said he was contacted by a national executive search firm about the position, so he explored it.
"It seemed like a good match for my skill set and experience," he said.
The Riverside Community College District is looking to replace an interim chancellor who replaced another interim chancellor after the permanent chancellor left last June. The previous chancellor started there in 2009.
Daniel Bice of the Journal Sentinel staff contributed to this report.

Celeste Price is an eighth-grade English teacher in suburban Tampa. She's undeniably attractive. She drives a red Corvette with tinted windows. Her husband, Ford, is rich, square-jawed, and devoted to her.
But Celeste's devotion lies elsewhere. She has a singular sexual obsession: 14-year-old boys. Celeste pursues her craving with sociopathic meticulousness and forethought; her sole purpose in becoming a teacher is to fulfill her passion and provide her access to her compulsion. As the novel opens, fall semester at Jefferson Jr. High is beginning.
In mere weeks, Celeste has chosen and lured the lusciously naive Jack Patrick into her web. Jack is enthralled and in awe of his teacher, and, most important, willing to accept Celeste's terms for a secret relationship - car rides after school; rendezvous at Jack's house while his single father works late; body-slamming encounters in Celeste's empty classroom between periods.
Ever mindful of the danger - the perpetual risk of exposure, Jack's father's own attraction to her, and the ticking clock as Jack leaves innocent boyhood behind - the hyperbolically insatiable Celeste bypasses each hurdle with swift thinking and shameless determination, even when the solutions involve greater misdeeds than the affair itself. In slaking her sexual thirst, Celeste Price is remorseless and deviously free of hesitation, a monstress driven by pure motivation. She deceives everyone, and cares nothing for anyone or anything but her own pleasure.
With crackling, rampantly unadulterated prose, Tampa is a grand, uncompromising, seriocomic examination of want and a scorching literary debut.
©2013 Alissa Nutting (P)2013 HarperCollins Publishers
Librarian, blogger, reader
"This author is pretty gutsy"
The whole premise of this book is off-putting to some, and if that's how it strikes you just stop there. Because not only is it about an adult woman preying on 14-year-olds, it's quite sexually graphic, and since it's written from Celeste's perspective, the sex is actually pretty sexy. I'm not bothered by anything in fiction (no 14-year-old boys were actually harmed in the writing of this book!) so I found it a bit fascinating. Celeste is a great unlikeable protagonist and I thought the story progressed well all the way to its satisfying ending. I actually tried this one in print first and found the quality of the writing inconsistent, but the audio worked much better for me. The narrator somehow made Celeste's voice more palatable and I binge-listened to this over the long weekend. I like when authors take risks by tackling taboo subjects, and Alissa Nutting pulled it off quite well.
"Guilty pleasure!"
This is one horny broad. And I love her for it. The author takes on the controversial subject giving zero f*cks. Definitely binge worthy. Go girl
"A sick and yet inthralling topic, well written"
This book has been a hot topic for sometime now. It's storyline is morbid, and sadly true. Yet, I couldn't tear myself from listening to it. Nutting's allusions are astounding. She really makes you want to keep listening. I ate this book up! Get past the it all and dive in, you won't regret it.
"Honestly A Disturbing Story"
Female Pedophile Tell-All
Probably, the author is a really good writer. I've learned more new words in this book than any other books that I've read so far.
I have not listened to any Kathleen McInerney's performance before, however she is GREAT!
No, it was a really difficult book to sit through because it was so strange to listen to a mind of a pedophile. You can only take a little dose of it at a time because the story can make your skin crawl. However, the performance was exquisite. Probably one of the best female performers I've listened to so far.
This book is pretty graphic in it's sexually content and a little morbid. However, beautifully written and the performance was amazing!.
"This book blew my mind.."
WOW! WOW! WOW! You must read this to believe it, but read it with an open mind! It's entertainment.
I love books (duh). I've also listened to plenty books from my local library, kinda upset I can't review them here as well :(.
"It had potential"
The ending... to start with.
The first half of the book you think that Celest is a highly intelligent female willing to do anything to satisfy her obsession: teenage males. Her wishes are crazy, but very enthralling as well. She's an interesting character to say the least.
Second half of the book she becomes stupid and arrogant and other people like her even more for that. It was annoying and it didn't fit with the character created in the first half. Is like the author wanted us to hate her. And that's cheating.
I would have enjoyed the rational, pervert feminist much more than the beautiful sheltered pedophile. Also, the idea that beautiful people have it easy... don't really dig it. I've seen lots of beautiful people get bullied and ugly ones as well. It's about character. That is what brings you to the top of the chain. And by the end of the story our character completely looses that side and just plays the damsel in distress. And people actually believe her? We're talking about adults here, right? I can't accept that people can be that stupid.
Not really. A good book will be a good book regardless of the genre. I was never really into this type of books, but I heard this one was better so I decided to give it a try. Not sure how soon I'll return to this genre though, based on my friend's recommendations I guess.
I did, in Night Road and Just One Day. She's into character and she's good at what she does. If I wouldn't have looked at the list with the books she read I would have never guessed the 3 books have the same reader. They are all 3 very different genres.
To be honest, I don't think so. Second half bored me to death.
It's a good book for an erotica lover, but not a moralist.
"Very interesting and riveting audiobook"
Every time I sat down, I remembered to sit down, put in my ear buds, and enjoy. This was a great, yet disturbing take on a sexual sociopath who happens to be a teacher. Recommended
"Kinda creepy and gross."
All I can really say about this book is that it is so well written that it's repulsive.
"Definitely not what I was expecting!"
This book had its, "whoa! What did I just read?" Moments, but it was a great read. Alissa Nutting did a fantastic job at getting the reader to get in the mind of a sociopath. Give this book a shot!
I'm a high school English teacher with a 3 hour round-trip commute everyday, so clearly, audio books are a big part of my daily existence!
"Prepare to be shocked."
I would only recommend this book to friends who I knew REALLY well. Because I'm a high school English teacher, this is a difficult book for me to admit to reading, let alone recommend to friends - many of whom are teachers.
I thought the end was perfect. Celeste, the main character, was so fully fleshed out through the whole story, and what happens at the end and her reaction to it fit perfectly with what you know to be true about her.
Again, it's hard to say a "favorite" scene...it's not that kind of book! My favorite aspect of the book is Nutting's totally unapologetic writing and her willingness to "go there." I can imagine there were parts of this book that were difficult to write, and it's so refreshing to see a female author take creative ownership of work that it surprising, offensive, and sexual.
Yes, I would love to read more by her. I love her voice, and like I said before, her frank writing style. I would like to see what she does next.

with a large format camera everything is separate .. film holders, meter, filters, meter, dark cloth, sand bag &c. if the film was installed in the camera ( roll film adapter ) and you
were sunny-16-ing all your exposures and used a kalart rangefinder specifically calibrated for your lens, then i would still say bringing a lens on a lensboard is minimal to bring.
a lot of people use roll film and a range finder. with linhof cameras some say the rangefinder focuses more precisely than the eye on the ground glass, and roll film,I can understand the advantages for folding if I were to use roll film and a rangefinder but for my intentions, the folding requirement which I had previously imposed on myself seems maybe unnecessary for the 4x5 format.
why not there are more choices for lenses, from old and brass to new and sharp to magnifying glasses even, much more fun to use roll film and a not so boring lens ..
