St. Louis Rams looking to rev up run game ..
By Nick Wagoner
EARTH CITY, Mo. -- As passing numbers rise to record levels around the league through the first two weeks, the corresponding rushing numbers have been taking the obvious dip.
Thats certainly true in St. Louis, where quarterback Sam Bradford is off to his best statistical start but the Rams running game has yet to rev to a level beyond mediocrity.
There are plenty of factors that have contributed to the Rams posting just 136 rushing yards (25th in the NFL) in the first two weeks but there are a couple that stick out to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer: the youth of the teams backs and the early penchant for falling behind.
In the running game, I think theres plenty of room for improvement, Schottenheimer said. I think it just comes down -- weve got young backs. We put ourselves in some positions where we havent had favorable numbers, whether it was the scoreboard or just some heavy boxes and stuff trying to run against.
In many ways, the running game in the league simply isnt what it used to be. Teams are spreading things out and throwing more and, in many cases, using the short passing game as an extension of the run.
Theres been evidence of that approach in St. Louis where Schottenheimer said the Rams have looked closely at using the short passing game as a substitute for the run game in certain situations.
I think [those are] certainly things you talk about, even during the week game plan wise, Schottenheimer said. Can a quick slant or something make me six or seven yards, where a great run makes me four or five yards?
When the Rams have tried to get the running game going, they have yet to find much success. In the first two games, the Rams averaged 3.24 yards per carry, 23rd in the league and Bradfords 23-yard scramble against the Falcons is the teams longest run so far this season.
The Rams also have yet to register a rushing touchdown or convert a third-down with a handoff on four attempts.
While Daryl Richardson emerged early in camp as the teams starting back, he has yet to fully establish himself as the type of back the Rams can hand it to and expect big numbers over the course of a game.
Fellow backs Isaiah Pead, Benny Cunningham and Zac Stacy havent had many opportunities in the opening games though Pead was on the field quite a bit against Atlanta when the Rams went to their up-tempo, no-huddle look.
Richardson has also been nursing a foot injury that has caused him to miss some practice time. Again this week he looks to be ready to play but Pead could again factor when the Rams decide to push the pace a bit.
I would be lying if I said I wasnt anxious every day I walk in here, Pead said. But I cant call the shots, I cant put myself in so I can only work hard every day and wait for that time.
Last week, the Rams played an Atlanta team that was for all intents and purposes one-dimensional but still found a way to get the job done in the passing game. The Rams would prefer not to eschew the run all together, especially knowing how important it can be to salt games away with it when you have a late lead.
Instead, look for the Rams to keep finding ways to get the run game going. Now that Bradford and the passing game have shown an ability to pile up yards, the Rams should get more favorable looks to run against. Its just up to the teams young backs to take advantage of those opportunities.
Two weeks in a row weve seen the Rams throwing to catch up from a deficit but what happens when they are looking to protect a lead?
I know the thing we want to do is be balanced, Schottenheimer said. Thats a big part of it. Games come down to the fourth quarter and sometimes youre going to have to try to throw it like we did last week and try to come from behind. Other times, youre going to have to run the football in four-minute and try to put people away nothing replaces the ability to run the football when the opponent knows youre going to have to run it.

MEPs should leave business alone
Guilty, m'lud. I'm one of the 72 per cent of MEPs with no business experience. I've spent 12 years on this newspaper, providing a service to our loyal readers. But, frankly, I've never sold anything, made anything or run anything.
But let me enter a plea of mitigation. I never presume to tell businesses what to do. Over nine years in the European Parliament, I have never once proposed a new law or a new regulation. I have voted consistently against measures that would burden companies or reduce consumer choice. If only all my colleagues could say the same.
The trouble is that many MEPs see legislation as chiefly declamatory: an opportunity to signal that they care about something, to "send out a message". Never having worked in the private sector, they literally cannot imagine the impact that their rules will have on small firms operating within tight profit margins: not just the straight compliance costs, but the hassle, the record-keeping, the mornings off to show the inspector round.
How often have I had variants of this conversation?
Hannan: Shouldn't we be doing something to make it easier to hire people?
Eurocrat: Read the text of our last Council Resolution. The fight against unemployment is one of our top three priorities.
Hannan: Yes, but EU policies are hurting business: the 48-hour week, the Social Chapter, the Temporary Workers' DirectiveÂ…
Eurocrat: Didn't you hear what I just said? One of our top three priorities.
MEPs would take it very badly if a delegation of businessmen came and told them how to count their votes, how to restructure their committees, where to hold their plenary sessions. It would be nice if they displayed a commensurate modesty when it comes to meddling in matters which they don't understand.

Thanks to grocery stores that sell local produce instead of imported, I was able to score a carton of the best strawberries of my life. Ripe strawberries taste like candy and could stop even the most stubborn sweet tooth dead in its tracks. Man these were good!
Naturally I had to corrupt them with vodka. I mean, I did go to FSU after all.
one can of sparkling lime La Croix water
1-2 shots of strawberry vodka, chilled
as many slices of fresh strawberry and lime as you can fit in the glass!
slosh. stir. and serve over ice.
Though maybe the sloshing comes last 😉
Happy almost-friday!
Still thirsty?

PlayItBlack's Bracket Challenge 2015
I've been very sick with food poisoning over the last few days, so this morning when I woke up I was very determined to rest, drink fluids, and say f-all to the idea of putting together a Bracket Challenge.
But it took about an hour on the couch of watching analysts talk, talk, talk of the greatest sporting event of the year (meaning years that the Seahawks don't win the Super Bowl) before the March Madness spirit overtook me.
Yes, I've decided to give rid of all of my blu rays, and then some.
First things first: Click here to join The PlayItBlack Bracket Challenge 2015: http://goo.gl/bYCaZp It's insanely easy, you don't even have to know jack shit about college hoops, seriously. I consider myself very knowleadgeable and completely suck at these brackets.
Visit DouBle B's new site, PlayItBlack.com!
DouBle B and his buddies started a new site, Play It Black, which focuses a little more on video games, Twitch broadcasts, and…coming very soon at least…podcasts. We'll still talk a lot of sports, movies, television, and music. Its already kicking ass although we're just starting. Please visit us by clicking on the pic below.
DouBle B and The Hawk Twitch Test: DBR Legends League G2 vs Rockets (XB1)
Anybody lucky enough to tune in right, will witness history. Hawk and DouBle B are Twitchin' the DBR Legends League Playoffs NBA 2K14 edition, gettin' our game ready for PlayItBlack.com. It's the Seattle Supersonics, lead by Kevin Durant, Paul George, and Josh Smith vs The Houston Rockets, who bring Larry Bird and Dirk Nowitzki.
Let's ball.

Century Link Field
Colts at Patriots
5:15pm PST
Gillette Stadium
Jesus Christ, how is this Patriots team 12-4 with injuries galore?
Most will say its because Tom Brady is just so good. That's Bullshit. Statistically, he has had one of the worst seasons of his career. They benefit from a shitty division where 6 of their games are against the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills (none finished above .500), and they are so damn lucky it is ridiculous. Belichick clearly sold his soul to the devil to eek out so many barely wins against horrendous teams.
I must admit Andrew Luck seems like the real deal, especially after pulling off the second greatest comeback in playoff history last week against the (overrated) Chiefs. Unlike most Pats opponents this year, the Colts and Luck can put up points. But their defense is worrisome after giving up 44 points to Alex Smith and KC despite the electric Jamaal Charles being out after the first drive. Indy has been inconsistent all year, but seem to play better against good teams, hence wins against the Seahawks, Broncos and 49ers in the regular season. I expect a shootout but Brady just doesn't have the offensive weapons to keep up. Especially with his security blanket Rob Gronkowski out. Brady cries after yet again not winning a ring post spygate.

2013 NBA Finals Micro Movies for Games 1-6 to Get You Jacked for Game 7
There can only be one…
I've been really busy at my new job, but I'm starting the hang of things and hope to be posting more content on the site(meaning with more regularity)… soon. And even though I'm missing out on oh-so-important sleep I'm just so f####ing excited for game seven tonight that I thought I would share with you what I've been watching this morning.
See…the NBA released these amazing Micro-Movies of the 2013 NBA Finals, and they show a behind the scenes look of both the San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat as they've gone through what has been a fantastic battle. Legacies are at stake. Tim Duncan and his Spurs are already great, but with another title they would be legendary. LeBron still has plenty of years left in him, but each year without a title most def hurts his quest for consideration as the greatest player of all-time. Awesome.
Without further ado because my eyes are growing heavy, check out the 2013 NBA Finals Micro-Movies, starting with game 1:

Don't know much about Irving. I think General Cycles is over there and might be a source of info.
Are you a registered member? Why not? Click here to register. It's free and only takes 27 seconds! Help out the forums, abide by our community guidelines.
Specifically where in Irving? How much distance do you want? I can tell you some routes.
Well you are 5 or 6 miles north of my house. There are plenty of ride possibilities in your area if you are going solo. I'm not aware of any groups that meet in that area although there are groups that meet elsewhere in the summer and ride through that area.
The easiest route for you to get 30 miles is to ride from the hotel west to Macarthur, south on macarthur to kinwest parkway, follow kinwest to the west to royal lane, then follow royal lane to the northwest until it ends. Royal lane and kinwest are good roads with very light traffic.
If you check the map on google or something similar, almost all of the roads west of macarthur and between 114 and 635 have light traffic and are good for riding. Similar for roads west of beltline, north of 635, east of highway 121.
You can check the GDB website to see if there are any group rides mentioned.
It is pretty cold here now but should be better by next weekend.
Great! Thanks for the info! Looks like the weekend will be better. I will map this route on Map My Ride. That would be perfect to get a 25-30 mile ride straight from the hotel with light traffic. Expecting my bike to catch up to me today by brown. Tj
You can use the google streetview to see what the road looks like at various places. If you wanted more distance I could tell you what streets to add on, but it becomes more difficult to find streets with light traffic.
I have ridden city streets all over the Dallas area and you can do this pretty easily with a group, but when I'm by myself I prefer streets that I know have light traffic.
Thanks for all the help. I was able to do a 25 mile loop from the hotel this afternoon. I took Kinwest to Royal and then did the DFW loop and back. Really enjoyed the day!

Article Summary
June 27, 2005 A husband and wife team of economy driving experts has set a remarkable record for fuel economy from a standard automatic Peugeot 407 HDi sedan. Driving a new 407 HDi sedan each, John Taylor set out to drive from Darwin to Adelaide on less than AUD$150 (EU 94 Euro = US$115) worth of fuel, and wife Helen wanted to see just how far she could get on one tank of fuel in an automatic diesel car. Travelling 1445.6 kilometres on just one tank, Helen's achievement is believed to be a world record for the longest distance driven on one tank of fuel for an automatic vehicle while John achieved his goal completing the 2991km journey on just 115.55 litres giving him an average fuel consumption of 3.86 litres per 100km (73.57 mpg).

NEW YORK — KFC is tossing out the chicken bones and the quaint image of founder Col. Harland Sanders as it gets ready to test a slightly more upmarket restaurant.
The fried-chicken chain says it's opening a location called "KFC eleven" early next month near its headquarters in Louisville, Ky., that will serve flatbreads with toppings, rice bowls, salads and only boneless pieces of its Original Recipe chicken.
The restaurant's exterior won't feature Sanders, whose bespectacled, white-bearded likeness has long been front and center at traditional KFC locations. But the name of the test restaurant is a reference to the 11 herbs and spices Sanders used in the Original Recipe.
KFC eleven's opening is a reflection of the challenges facing traditional fast-food chains. The problem is that people in their 20s and 30s are increasingly heading to chains such as Chipotle Mexican Grill and Panera Bread, where they feel they get better food for slightly higher prices.

People rightly shudder about the potential effects of letting so many criminals out at once. After all, many of these felonshave spent years becoming bigger, better and more menacing criminals. Most of them lack the education, skills and social connections to become productive members of society when they get out.
In many ways, this is where we as a society failed those around us. Sure, we all want crime cleaned up and off our streets. But we can't just forget about what happens to criminals once they're put away. For many, it's a question of "if" not "when" these folks will return to society. And how we treat those individuals while they have nothing but time on their hands is a responsibility that in some measure should fall to us, if we truly care about the long-term implications of their incarceration.
Here is where the value and sheer potency of the human mind once again emerges. These prisoners may have lost their freedoms, but their minds still remain sharp and unharnessed – open to new values we can instill in them.
For years, many social advocacy organizations have urged the government to use precious resources to invest in education rather than prisons. The long run benefits, they argued, greatly outweigh the costs to society. But in the midst of a major drug epidemic, such arguments largely fell on deaf ears. Voters wanted criminals off the street immediately, and were willing to rob the schools to pay for jails. Moreover, in order to lock more people up, prison education, counseling and rehabilitation programs were slashed.
Consider if the opposite had occurred. What if, 20years ago, instead of succumbing to a knee-jerk reaction to crime, we looked at the root causes: idleness; lack of constructive activities for youth; and a dearth of positive role models? What if criminals were subjected to mandatory education and rehabilitation services that gave them the skills and social networks to survive in a legal occupation when they got out?
Let's be clear: I'm not arguing that we appease criminal behavior here. Some simply cannot be saved nor rescued from the recesses of evil. History is full of those people, where the only place they belong is in a cage. But for each of those hardened animals, there are dozens more showing true potential for reform.
At some point we as a society have to make a rational determination that harnessing positive productive capacity makes more sense than paying an exorbitant price to keep able bodied men, women and even children locked away.
We can no longer afford to look the other way and expect our tax dollars and our leaders to simply lock up our offenders –violent and non-violent – and throw away the key. The case in California shows the folly of such an exercise. We live in different times; modern times that demand more modern approaches to age-old dilemmas. At this juncture in our nation, we should seize every opportunity to increase the opportunity for intellectual good in our society.

x86 Assembler JWASM Hits Stable Release 209
Odoital writes "January 2010 is an exciting month for x86 assembly language developers. Software developer Andreas Grech, better known to the x86 assembly language community and the rest of the world by his handle "japheth," has released another version of JWASM — a steadily growing fork of the Open Watcom (WASM) assembler. The main benefit of JWASM, arguably, is the nearly full support of Microsoft's Macro Assembler (MASM) syntax. As those in the assembly language community may already know, Microsoft's desire to continually support the development of MASM has been dwindling over the years — if only measurable by a decreasing lack of interest, updates and bug fixes — and thus the future of MASM remains uncertain. While Intel-style syntax x86 assemblers such as NASM have been around for a while, JWASM opens up a new possibility to those familiar with MASM-style syntax to develop in the domains (i.e. other than Windows) in which assemblers such as NASM currently thrive. JWASM is a welcomed tool that supplements the entire x86 assembly language community and will hopefully, in time, generate new low-level interests and solutions."

ABSTRACT: The following article examines the correlates of three separate con figurations of teacher participation in school system decision making. Defining decisional participation in terms of differences in the number of decisions in which teachers wish to participate and the number of deci sional instances in which they actually participate, the identified deci sional patterns are Deprivation, Equilibrium and Saturation. Four hy potheses relating personal and organizational characteristics to these decisional conditions are tested. Joseph A. Alutto is Associate Professor of Organizations and Human Resources at the State University of New York at Buffalo and James A. Belasco is Professor of Management at San Diego State College.

ABSTRACT: In this study of faculty (n = 454) employed in two separate school districts the variable "decisional participation" is conceptualized as the difference between the number of decisions in which an individual desires to participate and the number of decisions in which he actually participates. After identifying subjects characterized by conditions of decisional deprivation, equilibrium, and saturation, it is shown that individuals in each of these groups differ by age, sex, teaching level, employing organization, seniority, perceptions of administrative influence, perceptions of role conflict, and attitudinal militancy. These findings suggest that a global concept is useful in typifying conditions of decisional participation and that some traditional assumptions about the consequences of decisional participiation should be modified, particularly assumptions concerning the universal desirability of increased participation in decision making.

ABSTRACT: The following article examines the relationship between the levels of satisfaction experienced by teachers and their state of decisional participation. Following March and Simon and Katz and Kahn, satisfaction was defined as a willingness to remain within the current school organization despite inducement to leave. Decisional participation was defined as the discrepancy between current and preferred levels of participation.
Article: A Case Study of Community and Teacher Expectations Concerning the Authority Structure of School Systems
Article: Decisional Participation Among Teaching Personnel and Perceptions of Administrative Influence[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: If previously discovered influence-participation relationships are applicable to operating school systems it should mean that by allowing and fostering increased decisional participation by teaching personnel, administrative officials should discover an increase in their relative influence. A study explored two questions: Among teachers is there an identifiable relationship between extent of decisional participation and the perceived or preferred relative influence of administrative officials? Is any identifiable participation-influence relationship differentially distributed among the general teaching population? Relevant questionnaire data was solicited from teachers in two western New York school districts, one rural and one urban, with responses from 60 percent and 75 percent respectively. Variables included six demographic characteristics and commitment to school system. Findings resulting from correlational analyses: A negative relationship exists generally between the extent of decisional participation by teachers and the degree of perceived and preferred administrative influence. However, little relationship exists between those factors among unmarried male secondary teachers with 1-3 years service and low organizational commitment. Most consistent negative participation-influence relationships were found among married female elementary teachers with 4-10 years seniority and medium organizational commitment. (JS)

We stayed at the Art Hotel in the Old Quarter of Hanoi as a base for our stay in the north of Vietnam in November 2011. The location is very convenient for many of the sights and restaurants.
The rooms were booked over the internet from Australia and were just as requested with windows overlooking the street. The rooms were comfortable and well serviced. Breakfast was delicious.
An outstanding feature of this hotel was the attitude of the staff. All were charming, very friendly and willing to help in any way. Helpful advice was offered about getting around in and finding restaurants in Hanoi. They took a personal interest in our side trips and were very welcoming when we returned.
We are particularly grateful to the Art Hotel management for their willingness to assist us in a personal issue (unrelated to travel) with a member of hotel staff acting as expert interpreter.
We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the Art Hotel, would stay there again and would gladly recommend it as an enjoyable place to stay in Hanoi.

"For the skilled craft professionals that I represent, the past four years have not been a recession, they've been a depression," McGarvey said, arguing that the pipeline will produce tens of thousands of jobs in a construction industry beset by an unemployment rate of 16 percent. McGarvey noted that the Obama administration's decision to delay the pipeline was based on an assessment from the state of Nebraska that the line could endanger an environmentally critical aquifer. Now, however, the pipeline's builders have proposed rerouting the line, and the governor of Nebraska has approved it.
"There is no reason for any further delay," McGarvey said. "In fact, there is every reason in the world to approve this project."
McGarvey was not just speaking for himself. His AFL-CIO division represents members of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, the Laborers International Union of North America, the Sheet Metal Workers International Association, the International Association of Bridge, Structural, Ornamental and Reinforcing Iron Workers, and several other organizations. Together, they and the larger AFL-CIO have donated many millions of dollars to Democratic candidates and many millions of man-hours to Democratic campaigns -- more than the environmental movement and Hollywood combined.
The other problem for the protesters is public opinion. Polls have consistently shown that most Americans support building the pipeline. In a Rasmussen poll released in January, 59 percent of those surveyed were in favor. On Wednesday, the petroleum institute released its own poll putting the number at 69 percent.
In coming weeks, the Big Labor-Big Oil alliance will try to drive those numbers even higher. On the conference call, Gerard announced plans for a campaign of "advertising, making presentations at events around the country, and calling on allies and potential allies, including business and labor leaders, veterans, educators and others to write to the president and Congress urging approval of the project."
Given that pressure, and especially given the new fact of a safer route for the pipeline, it's hard to see Obama saying no. But so far, the president just can't face his environmental and Hollywood allies with the bad news. Even when they come to the White House to see him.

awesome work,Tim!
I like it a lot. Looks like you have some sss in that material, and it's really effective. If not, then it's still a great material; very intriguing. Our professor last week was talking about organic modeling for sculpture design, and some techniques he showed us, which included a lot of tapered extrusions from arbitrary polygonal surfaces, resulted in similar shapes to this, but not quite as cool.
well i thank you .. I just fiddle about with my mats but no sss which is with vray?! i think.. just a base reflective fresnelwith my own tweaking ..what I think gives it the good organic look is that I am taking a still image from a moving dynamic body so the influences of the formula that allow the object to fall and bounce and interact with all its moving parts give it a random and less structured pose, some stills don't work out so well so you have to catch the best frame in the sequence

An Edgar, Anthony, Macavity, Gumshoe, and Barry Award winner, C. J. Box delivers the second pulse-pounding installment in his critically acclaimed series. While investigating a string of bizarre murders, Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett is forced to flee across treacherous terrain with a deadly tracker on his trail.
He's game: solve another mystery with Joe Pickett.
©2002 C.J. Box (P)2011 Recorded Books, LLC
"Picturesque detailing, admirable prose, and agitating suspense demonstrate the appeal of this follow-up to Box's Edgar nominated debut." (Library Journal)
"Laconic Joe Pickett returns to his slightly offbeat duties in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains in C. J. Box's Savage Run. Joe is called to the scene when an exploding cow kills a famous ecoterrorist, Stewie Woods, and his bride of three days, who were peacefully spiking trees. A visit to the cow's pugnacious owner leaves Joe defensive, angry, and curious: Why doesn't the rancher ask any questions about the bizarre accident that happened on his land? Then Joe's wife, Marybeth, begins receiving phone calls from her high-school boyfriend - the peculiarly healthy-sounding Stewie Woods. Stewie may or may not be alive, but his old pal Hayden Powell and other environmental activists are all turning up deceased in strange circumstances. As the body count climbs, Joe tries to sort out the bad guys, the good guys, and the truly dead guys in this sometimes funny, sometimes angry [novel]. Box depicts the spare beauty and cussed individualism of the intermountain West with the sure hand of a seasoned writer." (Amazon.com review)
Reading allows me to travel through time, to visit the world's unique and stunning places, to become somebody I am not... It is glorious.
"Box brings the West alive!"
Yes. I found the plot interesting and the characters well-developed. Yes, it isn't a traditional mystery as we already know who the bad guys are, but Mr Box develops the setting so well that it becomes another character. I live in the mountains of Colorado and life is quite similar to life in WY. Hunting, fishing, ams... I think Mr Box does a great job of illustrating the type of lives that are lived in the rural West.
Some reviewers said they found Joe Pickett to be too weak. I don't think of him as weak. He is a pacifist, a lover of nature, and a family man. He does the job he does because he truly believes that the animals and land should be protected. He carries a weapon only because it is required and would much rather not do so. To me, that isn't weak, in fact, it is the opposite. He has strong convictions and isn't swayed by outside sources. I respect that in people and I respect it in this character.
"21st century range war! Adventure not mystery."
Instead of the cowboys against the farmers (Oklahoma!,) it's the gentleman ranchers against the environmentalists! It's a good story, and Box's descriptions of the wild country in Wyoming are marvelous. This is not really a mystery, since we know who the bad guys are and it isn't hard to guess who is behind their killing spree. As a result, the plot seems thin, too slow and stretching beyond the limits of credibility at times. I read this after reading Force of Nature, book #12, which I liked better but also suffered from some of the same plot defects. I like the protagonist Joe Pickett, but he can't possibly be so naive as he sometimes says or acts. The environmental activist, Stewie Woods, is a more multi-dimensional and believable character than Joe Pickett. Toward the end, too many rabbits are pulled out of the hat to make the denouement fully satisfying.
David Chandler adds a lot to the pleasure of listening, his narration and portrayal of characters are terrific.

"Savage Run by CJ Box"
I thought the book was well written and well preformed. There was some bloody details involving animals that seemed sensationalized. I think the book would have been just as strong without those parts. The ending left me cold. I could think of half a dozen ways to end the story that might have made our hero more of a hero. I do like the character of Joe Picket, he is humble and understated. He reminds me a little of the Jim Chee character in the famous Tony Hillerman books.

"Great series for outdoor types"
I almost never listen to a book more than once, but that is because there are only 24 hours in a day and so many books. I would listen to this one again in a few years.
The plot was a bit of a stretch, but it was seldom dull.
I found the performance to be very good.
With all the twists, there wasn't a particular point that moved me.
If you love the outdoors, like to hunt, fish, hike, or just enjoy the challenges of nature, you will enjoy this book if you like mysteries.
"Excellent listen"
I've listen to many Joe Pickett books and this by far my favorite. Great characters, succinct narration, and intriguing story. Well done
Myst/thrillers, some contemporary and ✨fun fantasies✨are my favorites but always open for a good story.
"Early Pickett"
Joe Pickett is a family man and one of the few Game Wardens in Wyoming, he has a steady moral compass and is an intellegent, lawful man. In this second addition to the series Joe gets wrapped up in an environmental feud. After radicals set off an explosion in the deep woods, an investigation reveals that a cow and possibly two people were accidentally killed. Joe knows that there is more to it than that and goes back later to look into it further. When he is shot at with a long range rifle he knows his suspicions were correct and is now on foot and on the run in a heavily wooded, rugged terrain.
I have read quite a few books in this series and this one was not bad but I think the writing is better in the later books. It was nice to have a little more insight into Joe's personal life and how hard it was for he and Mary Beth, his wife, when he first took the job. I am looking forward to the newest release in this series, "Endangered ".
"On to the next one - it's that good"
This series does not disappoint. On to the next one. The series is THAT good.
I LOVE books. And dogs & quilting & beading & volunteering.
"Second in a series-a bit more enjoyable"
Savage Run is set on an interesting historical premise, C.J.Box's writing leaves his protagonist Joe Pickett coming off as a real wimpy guy. Pickett can't seem to speak up or express himself when confronted by bad guys. He just seems to cower in corners and Box doesn't get much into Picketts personality or motivations, other than the families lack of funds.
I purchased 3 audio books in this series and doubt I'll buy more. I wouldn't waste my credit.
"Good Series"
I intent to continue this really good series. The narrator did a really good job keeping interested in the story.
"Another rock-solid mystery/adventure by Box"
Another rock-solid mystery/adventure from C.J. Box.
This one pits radical environmental saboteurs and a newly-revived group of ranchers and wealthy landowners against each other, with the methodical but values-driven Joe Pickett and his family caught in the middle. The wealthy ranchers, tired of losing most of their battles to encroach on wilderness through ranching and development, have hired a "cattle detective" to hunt down infamous environmental activists. The cattle detective is right out of the past of the American West - 100 years ago they were lethal Pinkertons hired to deliver ignoble deaths to cattle rustlers and take the romance out of being an outlaw.
As in his previous books, Box paints unflattering portrayals of corrupt exploiters of the land and also of privileged environmentalists who don't see the nuance and real people behind the land and water issues in the West. He doesn't like extremists on either end of the political spectrum.
Box does a great job with his characters - even 10 year old Sheridan is thoughtfully drawn. His eco-terrorist/ex boyfriend Stewie Woods is particularly interesting - both exasperating and funny. Pickett himself is a likable Everyman with both courage and integrity, and he's also doggedly stubborn which is what it takes in these novels to beat the bad guys.
I haven't decided yet what to think about his wife, Marybeth. She's likable enough, but she's also definitely a side kick - while she's a fine alter-ego to Joe, it is difficult to see how such an allegedly interesting woman gave up a legal career and hinted-at other adventures to live in ramshackle government housing and work part time, low-paying jobs, all for love. I hope in future books Box draws out her inner life and gives us something else to like about her other than as lover-of-Joe.
Performance is as solid and interesting as the story.
