The Posthumous Papers of the Pickwick Club (commonly known as The Pickwick Papers) is the first novel by Charles Dickens. The book became the first real publishing phenomenon, with bootleg copies, theatrical performances, Sam Weller joke books and other merchandise.
Written for publication as a serial, The Pickwick Papers is a sequence of loosely-related adventures. The novel's main character, Mr. Samuel Pickwick, Esquire, is a kind and wealthy old gentleman, and the founder and perpetual president of the Pickwick Club. To extend his researches into the quaint and curious phenomena of life, he suggests that he and three other "Pickwickians" (Mr. Nathaniel Winkle, Mr. Augustus Snodgrass, and Mr. Tracy Tupman) should make journeys to remote places from London and report on their findings to the members of the club. Their travels throughout the English countryside provide the chief theme of the novel.
Its main literary value and appeal is formed by its numerous memorable characters. Each character in The Pickwick Papers, as in many other Dickens novels, is drawn comically, often with exaggerated personalities. Alfred Jingle provides an aura of comic villainy. His misadventures repeatedly land the Pickwickians in trouble. These include Jingle's elopement with the spinster, Aunt Rachael of Dingley Dell manor, misadventures with Dr. Slammer, and others.

This novel, Dickens's first, made him famous and was perhaps the world's first real publishing phenomenon, inspiring bootleg copies, theatrical performances, and merchandise based on the popular characters.
"[T]he great example of everything that made Dickens great....[a] supreme masterpiece." (G. K. Chesterton)
If you are unfamiliar with the writings of Charles Dickens this is a good novel to start with as it is one of his happier ones.
It does touch on one of the social ills of the age, the debtors' prisons and that part is informative and thought provoking, but mostly the story is far less serious.
The humour is both satirical and gentle, the various cxharacters intriguing and often recognisable! The plot is typically complex, but although the story is lengthy it can be listened to gradually with easy breaks.
To those who already love Dickens writing I believe you will find Simon Prebble the narrator is masterful and a joy to listen to. His treatment of the many different characters made them easy to distinguish and readily believable. My own particular favourites, Sam and Tony Weller, came across exactly as I "vould" have imagined and his dear gentle Mr Pickwick was wonderful.
Cannot recommend this highly enough.
"My favorite Dickens Book Comes to Life"
I would recommend this book to anyone, with one condition... Don't give up on it too soon. This book starts very slowly. It was Dickens first book I believe, and it starts out in a very stuffy formal mode. It purports to be a documentation of the activities of the "Pickwick" club (hence the name the Pickwick Papers). The story takes a while to get going, and I'm afraid many might not have the patience to see it through. Once it gets going, you don't ever want it to end. The narration is first rate as well. Sometimes you find yourself mesmerized by the sheer beauty of the writing of the author, and the magnificent reading of the narrator. It also contains some of the most endearing characters that Dickens ever created. It will make you laugh, it will make you cry, its wonderful.
"Captivating reader"
This reader (Prebble) is a master at dickens voices! He is wonderful to listen to.
The Pickwick Papers is a fun read, not a dark story-line such as Tale of Two Cities
"Silly, Corny, Delightful 'Dickens Lite'"
Everyone seems to have a different impression of Charles Dickens, depending on how many of his 15 novels they've read (or movie and/or BBC adaptations they've watched).
I decided to listen to all of his novels chronologically, and, technically this is his first.
I say technically because, although all of his novels were serialized, subsequent ones become much more cohesive--written more like chapters of a continuing story/ modern novel-- rather than individual episodes with familiar characters.
In other words, if you think of a sitcom vs. an HBO series, Pickwick Papers is a sitcom, both in structure and depth. Over the chapters, the adventures and situations vary, but the core cast is consistent, with "guest" characters coming in and out. And as sometimes happens, one introduced character (Sam Weller) clicks so well he becomes not only a regular cast member, but also a clear fan favorite.
As with any sitcom, a continuing plot (or lack thereof) isn't the point--it's all about the characters and setting, and-- although Dickens will become fairly proficient at plotting later in his career--characters and settings will always be his natural wheelhouse and earliest claim to fame.
And that's why his stuff is such a pleasure to listen to---it was meant to be read aloud, and Simon Prebble is a total pro. His accents and character differentiation are pitch-perfect.
For me, the biggest draw here is the detailed glimpse into mid-19th century English life, albeit a comically idealized one. (Milk punch, curling papers, meat pies, harrowing carriage accidents...)
Either you're really into this stuff our you aren't, but if you are, I highly recommend you supplement your listening by downloading the digitized original print version (with illustrations) from Google Books or iBooks (it's free/public domain) so you can see the illustrations that inspired the stories.
I have edited 38 national best sellers and had a writing fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
"Cute until It Bores"
I selected The Pickwick Papers because Simon Prebble was born to narrate audiobooks, and he does not disappoint. He brings every character to life by creating the perfect voice, accent, cadence, and intonation.
The Pickwick Papers is a long book, nearly 31 hours' listening time, and was written for serialization. The story is pure fluff, mildly amusing and mostly pleasant. The book offers several continuing characters and plot threads, and the story floats along a gentle stream. For me, it never generated a high level of interest. Probably the original serialization format had a lot to do with its success. Taken all in one piece as an audiobook, the novel and the characters became tiresome, like sucking on confectioners sugar, and I chose to opt for something else.
"No One Is Better Than Simon Prebble"
The Pickwick Papers is an enchanting book, a real joy. That joy is manifested in the work of Simon Prebble who I daresay is the the most gifted narrator I have ever encountered. His pacing, voicing, and good-humored rendition is wonderful. I also listened to his narration of "Great Expectations", which was equally good. If you plan to listen to Dickens, try for a Simon Prebble narration. You will not regret it.
"Great Dickens Story"
Charles Dickens' Pickwick Papers was a joy to read! Mr. Pickwick is such a kind, generous character that you'll love. I will admit that the story can get a little long and a little slow in some places, but overall it is an enjoyable read. Mr. Prebble is a wonderful narrator - he really brings out the characters' personalities. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys the classics or Charles Dickens.
"One of my favorite "reads!""
This was my first audio book, and I wasn't disappointed. Simon Prebble performed the different dialects and class difference subtleties superbly. I've listened to this a couple of times now and it gets better and funnier each time!!
"A fun and joyful romp"
I am a confirmed Dickens lover thanks to audible.com. This is the 5th Dickens novel I've listened to and it was such fun. Rediculous and silly as Dickens often is, I just came to love these characters. It doesn't have the tragedy as Oliver Twist or Bleak House (both of which I enjoyed also). I will definitely listen to it again. The recording and narration was good also, nothing distracting.
"Prebble is fantastic"
This is a delightful book. The comic prose of Dickens is incomparable, and the warm-hearted joy of Mr. Pickwick, that illustrious gentleman, is infectious.
As usual with Simon Prebble, the narration is nearly flawless: pacing, accentuation, characterizations.
The episodic nature of this book makes it well-suited to commuting, but the original illustrations are not to be missed when not driving.
"A quite brilliant performance"
I feel inadequately qualified to offer any critique on any of the writings of England's greatest novelist. The fact that they can be read &/or listened to and thoroughly enjoyed over 150 years after they were written is testimony itself to the quality of the work.
I must, however, pay tribute in this instance to quite brilliant narration by Simon Prebble.
It was truly superb throughout.
His diction & pronunciation is faultless and his impressive range of accents for the various characters who appear in this wonderful collection of tales was so brilliantly done that it there is never any confusion over who said what & to whom!
"Pickwick Papers"
It was a very enjoyable listen. I have always intended to read dickens but have been put off by the length of the main novels and have only read some of the short stories. I'm very pleased that I am now able to listen to the books in unabridged version because not only are the stories good but I can also hear the beauty of Charles Dickens prose.i especially like the fact that all the loose ends were tied up in the last chapter.(something which I don't remember from the various adaptations I have heard).

Johnny Cash Shows What A Real Man's To-Do List Looks Like
Look at all of us with our fancypants smart phones and our productivity apps like Evernote and Springpad. So silly. Then there's the legendary Johnny Cash, with his pen and his paper and his incredible will. Okay, maybe he needs to remind himself to have some willpower, I'll give you that. Either way this is without question the best to-do list of all time, aside from that one day I spiked Tony Danza's morning coffee with acid and made him make one himself.

That reaction from our special first time mommy was worth every penny spent! And as always, the order arrived right on time, and the paper quality & design detail were superb."

Three Johnson County high school graduates excelled on the national sports scene last week.
Iowa Western baseball player Alex Krupa, a Greenwood graduate, was named the tournament's most valuable player after leading his team to the National Junior College Championship.
And Indiana State's Katie Wise, an Indian Creek graduate, and Indiana University's Sydney Clute, a Center Grove graduate, qualified for the NCAA Division I National Track and Field Championships, which begin Wednesday in Eugene, Oregon.
Krupa had 12 hits in 20 at-bats, with one home run, three doubles, eight RBIs, 10 runs scored and seven stolen bases as Iowa Western won five straight games to win the national title.
Krupa finished the season with a .427 batting average (67 for 157), tops on his team and 14th-best in the nation. The freshman stole 36 bases in 38 attempts, and his total of 36 was the 11th-best in the country.
Two NCAA Track and Field preliminaries were held last weekend, one the Eastern Preliminary and the other the Western Preliminary. The top 12 athletes in each event at each of the preliminaries, making a total of 24, qualified for the National Finals.
Wise finished second in the 100 meters with a time of 11.18, faster than the first-place time at the Western event. She was eighth of 47 sprinters who competed in the 200 meters with a time of 23.53 (23.28 in the preliminaries) and was a member of the Sycamore 1,600 relay team, which qualified by finishing ninth in 44.64.
Clute had a personal-best height of 13-9¼ in the pole vault event to finish seventh in a field of 44.
Southeastern University softball player DeVyn Barker was one of three outfielders named to the first All-Sun Conference team. She hit .314 (43 for 137) for the season for the 36-17 Fire.
Center Grove
Wisconsin's Austin Mudd, competing in the NCAA Western Preliminary, finished 16th in the 1,500 meters in 3:46.49 and failed to qualify for the NCAA Finals. He earlier qualified for the semifinals with a time of 3:43.66.
Grace pitcher Sammy Wilkerson was named to the first All-Crossroads Conference Baseball Team after posting a 4-1 record with a team-best 4.53 ERA. The freshman walked 20 and struck out 38 in 55 2/3 innings and gave up 58 hits.
Indianapolis weight thrower Farin Hickman finished 17th in the hammer competition at the NCAA Division II Track and Field Championships with a throw of 160-7.
The Liberty baseball team (41-18) was eliminated from the NCAA Regional Tournament with losses to Arkansas (3-2) and Bucknell (5-2). Ashton Perritt had three hits and scored one run in seven at-bats in the tournament and finished the season with a .279 batting average (56 for 201).

This book was a culminating project for my 2008-2009 kindergarten class. The class created an interactive on-line timeline based on events of personal interest. As part of our poetry unit, children selected events from our timeline to write about. They love the work of Shel Silverstein and so "hired" one of the children in the class to do all of the illustrations. 100% of any profits from this book will be donated to the school to help fund future special projects.

Here's Raleigh's link featuring their i8 folding bicycle: http://www.raleighusa.com/bikes/hybrid/folding-i8-12/
Here's a link to an LBS offering a Raleigh i8 for $549.99 cash and carry: http://www.metrobicyclestores.com/pr...i8-75489-1.htm
It looks like it might be Dahon-built. If so, I'm wondering if the handle post assembly, assuming it is a Dahon product, can be modified (turned around?) or replaced with a Dahon radius post assembly, which is what I think it's called, so that it folds down in between the front and rear wheel when fully folded, instead of folding over to the outside of the front wheel?
Othewise, the internal 8 Shiman$o nexus is what I've been waiting for. Someday, they might get around to installing a 11 speed Shimano internal hub for under a $1000.

When I am not having anything attached to the usb ports then the system hangs generally as well. The system starts fine for the first boot but it does not boot properly after that.

Nova Week: Jay Faerber interview
As we wind down Nova Week with the release of "Nova" Annual No. 1 (look for a review later today!), Nerdage talks to another voice from Nova's past – writer Jay Faerber.
Faerber writes the excellent "Noble Causes" and "Dynamo 5″ for Image Comics. (And look for more from Faerber about "Noble Causes" in an upcoming Weekend Look!) In 1999, he was approached to revive the New Warriors. Jay talked about his time with the Warriors for Nova Week.
Matt Price: What were your impressions of the New Warriors or Nova before working on the characters?
Jay Faerber: I was familiar with Nova from his original ongoing, from the 70s. I'd picked up the odd issue here and there at garage sales, that sort of thing. But I really became a fan during Fabian Nicieza's New Warriors. I loved that book (still do — it holds up well), although I know his interpretation of Nova wasn't quite the same as the original version of the character. Still, it's the one I preferred, while I appreciate that a lot of diehard Nova fans weren't crazy about it.
MP: What were your goals with the series?
JF: I really just wanted to try to do justice to the great characters and concepts that Fabian had come up with. I wanted to build on that, and continue to draw from all corners of the Marvel Universe. One of the things I really liked about the New Warriors (as opposed to the various X-teams) was that the Warriors were on their own. They didn't really have a mentor figure. I liked that sense of independence, and its one I tried to maintain in my series.
MP: What was your take on Nova?
JF: Again, I have to cite Fabian's take. I tried to stay true to that, while also being consistent with Erik Larsen's ongoing Nova series, that was running concurrent with my series. Erik was much more of an old school Nova fan than I was, so he was more heavily influenced by the original series. The problem I ran up against was that Erik's book wasn't selling very well so Marvel editorial wanted to try to distance the New Warriors from it. Their idea was to change Nova's costume (along with everyone else's). As I'm sure all Nova fans would agree, one of the coolest things about Nova is his costume. I fought that change as hard as I could, but I lost, and we ended up with Nova running around in a costume no one liked. Editorial heard the fans' outrage, however, and we were able to ditch the new costume about halfway through our run. But by then, the book was pretty much cancelled.
MP: What was your biggest success with the series?
JF: Well, the series only lasted 10 issues, and we went through about four different artists in that time. So I'm kind of hard pressed to come up with anything resembling success. For me, personally, I'd have to say it was great just getting a chance to write such great characters. I kind of wish I hadn't gotten that chance so early in my career, since I'd probably do a much better job now that I'm a bit more experienced. But if I had to pick an actual success, I'd say getting Jamal Igle on board as artist for issues 7 thru 10. We took a chance on Jamal (who was pretty much unknown at the time), and he didn't let us down. We've since gone on to collaborate on a number of projects, and he's now working exclusively for DC Comics. And speaking of working, I've got Noble Causes and Dynamo 5, both of which come out monthly from Image Comics. In May, I'm launching a third Image series, called Gemini. It's a 5-issue mini-series that's sort of The Manchurian Candidate with super-powers — it's about a normal man who's secretly controlled by some organization to be a super-hero.

Investigators with the Maine Fire Marshal's Office are searching for a person of interest in connection with an arson early Wednesday morning.
A mobile home at 15 Blue Rock Road went up in flames at 12:50 a.m. The homeowner was able to escape uninjured.
According to Monmouth Fire Chief Dan Roy, firefighters had to rely on a pond about 500 yards away to supply water.
State fire investigators said the fire started on a porch outside the home.

Reduxion Theatre Company launches 'Revolution' season with bloody opening production
Reduxion Theatre Company is starting the revolution, and make no mistake, it will be bloody.
For its fifth anniversary season, the Oklahoma City company that specializes in revisiting the classics is adopting the theme "Reduxion Revolution." In keeping with the imminent arrival of Halloween, the season will open this weekend with what is billed as Oklahoma City's first-ever Grand Guignol performances.
Reduxion's production of "Night of the Grand Guignol," named after a French theater that gained underground fame for its live naturalistic horror shows in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is designed to thrill and challenge theater-goers with its realistic special effects, gory horror and titillating sensationalism.
"I just ran into it in school (at Columbia University) and I became fascinated with it, the idea that there was this style of theater that was really reminiscent of the old-time radio shows, sort of the Vincent Price, Edgar Allan Poe stories," said Reduxion Artistic Director Tyler Woods.
"It was macabre and melodramatic and bloody and titillating and verboten basically. And everybody loved it. It was sort of Parisian back-alley type of deal that was just a style of theater that I hadn't really come across at that time ... and fascinating with the kind of contraptions that they had to make to make some of this stuff happen, doing things on stage like flaying people alive or setting someone on fire or gouging their eyes out. These things that you can see in movies these days, they're so commonplace. But they not only took a lot of work to figure out back in the day because they had to be done live onstage — you know, flaying someone alive is not an easy thing to do when you don't have a green screen — but also it was shocking."
Although Le Theatre du Grand-Guignol (which translates to "The Theater of the Big Puppet"), the Parisian theater where the style originated, shuttered in mid-20th century, the Grand Guignol sensibility lives on in horror books and graphic novels, slasher movies, pulpy TV shows and other frightful forms of entertainment.
"Interestingly, the Nazis, when they took over, they really loved it, and they went to the Grand-Guignol a lot. And after the war, nobody really wanted to patronize it anymore. I think the last shows were in the late '50s and then it closed," Woods said. "But there's a theater in San Francisco called the Thrillpeddlers who's been doing a lot of these things, and there's a London theater that just won an award for doing some of it. ... There's maybe a handful of theaters in the Western world that are doing this stuff right now, and we happen to be one of them."
Along with performances at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday every weekend in October, Reduxion is planning a special midnight performance Oct. 27.
"I have a very strong affinity to the Halloween holiday," said director Timothy Berg, who is also designing a Grand Guignol-themed float for the Oct. 27 Ghouls Gone Wild parade. "Doing Grand Guignol as a Halloween production is offering to an audience who, you know, during the month of October, you want to see a scary movie. You want to be surrounded by monsters. And let's admit it, some of the sexiest clothing that women are allowed to wear is a Halloween costume, and I've never heard anybody complain about it."
Each "Night of the Grand Guignol" performance will include at least three 20- to 40-minute vignettes, with the yarns covering topics ranging from adultery and mental disorder to love and pain. The Friday night shows will include an extra vignette, Berg said, while the Saturday night shows will feature a burlesque number.
In addition, OKC Improv will add an interactive twist by performing preshow, intermission and post-show sets the first three Saturdays of October.
"They're doing improv based on Grand Guignol, which I think is really in the vein of Grand Guignol," Woods said. "It took a lot of risks ... and that's one thing that we love that draws us back to doing these classics."
The risqué and violent stories on Reduxion's "Night of Grand Guignol" slate include "Guillotine," "The Final Kiss," "Doing the Deed," "Kiss of Blood" and Poe's "The System of Dr. Tarr and Mr. Feather." The creative team has been forced to get innovative when it comes to recreating some of the stories' deadly moments live onstage in an intimate in-the-round theater.
"We want to revisit these conventions in such a way that it makes it fresh again ... but a lot of it is really one step removed from a magic trick, essentially," Woods said. "To show how this kind of stuff would have been done with its original staging conditions, (we're) trying to use as many of the old-time contraptions, if you will, as possible."
Let the bloody revolution begin.

text: Found this great deal in my local classifieds and need help ID'ing it. The kid that owns it claims it's a Toyo. He wasn't sure at first, and he later confirmed by his friend that it was a Toyo Godzilla. I've asked numerous questions to help pinpoint which frame it is, but he has no clue about it. The frame was painted by him, so there are no longer original decals seen. And this is obviously not the original fork.

Actor Shiney Ahuja's next is horror-thriller 'Ghost' and he believes the genre has its own niche following.
'Horror movies have their own loyal audience who love to get scared. Even in my family, some of my cousins actually wait for horror films,' Shiney said in an interview.
'Ghost' has been directed by Vikram Bhatt, who made a mark in this genre with films like 'Raaz' and '1920'.
Shiney says that the 42-year-old director-producer's last two horror films, '1920' and 'Haunted' have been received very well by the audience. One man who has made his entire career out of these horror films is Vikram Bhatt.
'I have a lot of admiration and adulation for a person who has such conviction. He had made one good film that audience liked and then on the same theme he made another movie.'
The 37-year-old actor has dabbled with this genre when he worked in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa'. He kick-started his career with 'Hazaaron Kwhaishein Aisi' in 2005, and has his hopes pinned on 'Ghost' to revive his career.
The movie will release Dec 16 and it also stars Sayali Bhagat opposite Shiney.
' 'Dirty Picture' needn't have been banned in Pakistan'

Singing, acting both stellar in 'Figaro'
Actors are taught to act and opera singers are taught to sing - and all too rarely do the twain really meet.

Theatre Gigante taps dark, creative energy in 'Electra'
While her father is out of town on business, her mother takes a lover. When her father comes home, Mom and her new consort stab him. She herself is thrown out of the house. Her baby brother now lives in exile.
No wonder Electra has a complex. The question is whether her righteous anger regarding the murder of her father (Agamemnon) can justify plotting with her brother (Orestes) to murder Mom (Clytemnestra) and Mom's new squeeze (Aegisthus). »Read Full Article

The Interdependence of Virtues
WE CANNOT CONCLUDE this examination of the nature of moral virtues without saying something about their connection, interconnection, interdependence. Which of these three expressions sounds best? Connection is the simplest, but interdependence is the most graphic. So let us take a look at the interdependence of virtues, by comparing two traditional positions, the Stoic and the Aristotelian.
When I say Aristotelian, I have in mind primarily Aristotle's teaching in the Nicomachean Ethics, but I definitely include also later contributions and developments. I remember Etienne Gilson telling me once that there are no Aristotelians except for Aristotle himself, all others being neo-Platonists, except Thomas Aquinas, who is neither a neo-Platonist nor an Aristotelian but just Aquinas. I listened respectfully, but I did not agree then, and I do not accept that now. It is true that on some subjects, in which Gilson seems particularly interested, Aristotle's views may be unique, but there is also quite a number of philosophical issues on which Aristotle really has a school. I understand Gilson's position. It is the reaction of a serious and competent historian of ideas against the all too common mistake of reading later developments into an earlier source. In the preceding chapter, I mentioned the case of Rodier, who with the best intentions of correcting the prevailing views of psychology tried to turn Aristotle into a nineteenth-century Idealist. This happens all the time, and we must be grateful to men with a real sense for the history of ideas, like Gilson, for warning us against such confusion. Yet his reaction to it, as most reactions are, is in my opinion somewhat overdone. To say, for instance, that Thomas Aquinas is not an Aristotelian obscures rather than clarifies our understanding of historical developments in philosophy. 1 And among the many important issues

text: Amuro Ray awakes rather abrubtly right after falling from his bed, he's rather disconcerted and for a good reason... 'W-what happend? Where am I? The last thing I remember is trying to push half of Axis back into orbit when the Pyschoframe sistem went overloaded...' Amuro was thinking trying to recall any other memories but so far he just remember pulling an all-nighter for an electronic personal proyect of his... "HARO, HARO, GOOD MORING AMURO, HARO!" the sound of his old personal pet robot Haro brought his attention, now looking at his surounding this doesn't look like a medical bay from any Federation ship, let alone Neo-Zeon, in fact: This is his room in his house at Side 7! "H-how is this possible! I-It Can't be!" he tries to find a calendar around on his room until he find one posted in a wall, date on it marked September 18 of UC 0079, somehow he's just in the past! "How could this be!" He said while examinating his features eaxaustively in the mirror of his house bathroom, he is back to when he had fifteen years old! it was as if everything he lived was a dream but he was sure it wasn't! What he lived during all those years felt too real to be just a dream! 'If I'm somehow in the past... there's the chance that I may be able to avoid many things, like Lalah's death or-' "Amuro, are you in there? It's me, Fraw Brow! Didn't you heard the evacuation order? we have to head to the shelters!" Damn, he forgot that it was Fraw who went for him, she should have been tinkering a microchip weilding with the microscope right now instead of looking at his face in the bathroom. "One Moment Please, I'm in the bathroom, just let me get dressd in a minute and take Haro and we'll be ready to go" Amuro replied her "Oh ok, I'll be waiting on the living room then" Fraw said with a small blush on her face, sure she had seen his neighbour and friend Amuro in only boxers and sport shirt when sometimes but is still embarrasing how forgetful he tend to be when he spend most of his time in his room doing electronic things and stuff. ---- SOME TIME LATER Some Time later after getting dressed, preparing a backpack with some clotches and a few electronic components, tools and taking Haro, Amuro was driving the route he vagely remember taking, as much as he hate the idea of going to war, he knows far too well the role he played during the One Year War. "So a warship is docking today?" 'That must be the White Base arriving today, I better have to get a hold of the Gundam's Manual before heading to its location, hopefully this time I won't blow up that Zaku II nuclear reactor' Amuro asked Fraw, however his mind was somewhere else "Yeah, and because of that everyone in the colony needs to be sent to the shelters for safety procedure" Said Fraw brow enjoying the air in her face and the sight of the forest they were passing by, unknowing that in a few more minutes... her life will change completely. ---- SOME OTHER TIME LATER HE MADE IT! He made it! He had managed to get into the Gundam's cockpit! Just after a brief encounter with his father telling him to head to the White Base, almost crashing with the suply car that carries the Gundam's manual and retrieve it from the wreckage, he had finally made it in time as one of the first Zakus is heading to his location, He's ready for this battle, he will defeat them like the last time, he have more experience now after being veteran of three large scale conflicts, however this time, he will now intend to capture the Zakus instead of destroying them! Straping himself to the still warped in plastic seat of the mobile suit, Amuro set the manual between his legs, while he doesn't need it anymore, he need it as an avail explaination of how did he managed to properly operate the Gundam, actually now thinking about it maybe if he add to the explaination some videogames may even be more credible in regards of his combat experience though. "Amuro Ray, Gundam, LET'S DO IT!" And with that battlecry, Amuro aimed the head towards the aproaching Zaku and pressed the trigger... ---- Gene was practically having fun by wreaking havoc upon the feddies, so far he had managed to damage their infrastructure and also racking up kills with impunity, while sure he have just disregarded a superior officer order and make said commanding officer follow him in his rampage, if he manages to destroy completely this so called Project V that are aparently mobile suits, he will surely get a two rank promotion at least! However his musing were cut short as he noticed the head of one of those mobile suits move, someone had managed to get inside that thing! "I better destroy it before it mo- Oh shit!" Gene said as the surprise attack from the white, blue, red and yellow machine as this began to rise from the ground, exausting lots of vapor as a sign of the cooling system starting up and its visual sensprs began to glow red before turinig yellow, as a show of its activation being complete. ---- "Danm I missed!" 'Veteran of three wars and I still missed... I guess it can't be helped, this is supossed to be my first time piloting a mobile suit after all' Amuro mused to himself while aligning the Gundam into a combat stance, with one eye on the radar and another to the screen, and his Newtype sense at active as they were at the Second Neo-Zeon war, Amuro took advantage of the after effects of his surprise attack. The Gundam moved with such ease, cutting short the distance between the statrled Zaku, grabbing it from muzzle, pulling it twoards him while rising the left knee to hit the cockpit. ---- "What the FU-ARGG!" Gene was practically stunned, the new federation mobile suit moved really fast, and even before he try to aim his Zaku's 130mm machine gun, the feddie grabbed quickly the head of his machine pullied him towards and delivered a knee hit so bruttaly strong that it busted all his screens, now he was practically blind, then he feels as if he is forcefully pushed hard to the ground and then he hears the sound of something practically melting metal as sparks and bolts start flying around all his consoles for a couple of secconds, his mobile suit is now dead, he can't move anything, he need to escape, he tried to open the cockpit hatch but that doesn't work either, he's now practically imprissioned in his own mobile suit. ---- Amuro had just pushed damaged Zaku to the ground, then he took with Gundam's right arm a the Right Beam Saber and without wasting time he stabbed the Zaku with it on the chest, completely avoiding the reactor and the cockpit but completely damaging the movement of the unit. ---- "Gene!, That's it Feddie, you're dead!" Denim rushed to the federation's new mobile suit, brandishing his heat hawk that have been stored on his Zaku's shield, just when he jumped to attack it from above, the Federation Suit crouched down a little and move forward, practically ramming the lower half of his suit, thus making him to completely flip over and fall face up to the ground and just when he tried to stand up again, he saw the looming figure of the white unit, the v-fin antenna and its yellow eyes made it look like an demon awakened from its slumber, seeking retribution and ready to destroy anything in its path. Dennim almost pissed himself when he saw the Beam Saber rise, and fall stright to the chest of his Zaku, the screens frritzed, sparks and bolts flew across the consoles and controls while the sound of melting metal and a short circuit were heard, his mobile suit now lay dead, he miscalculated his attack aproach and now he's being held prissioner inside the cockpit of his own mobile suit. --- 'Well, that's two, one more to go but I better help around to get the whatever wasn't damaged to White Base' amuro thought to himself, not trusting to say anything out aloud, he knows that cockpit can record the whatever the pilot said, and wouldn't be good if he start talking about stuff that wasn't supposed to happen... And so, Amuro Ray began his new adventures into the loops.

Assassination of Mr. Harry Yansaneh76
On 10 May 2005, Mr. Harry Yansaneh, former editor of the independent For di people newspaper, as well as a member of the National League for Human Rights and of the Amnesty International section in Sierra Leone, was violently assaulted and beaten in his Freetown office. Several of his aggressors were relatives of Mrs. Fatmata Hassan, a member of the Parliament for the ruling Sierra Leone People's Party (SLPP).
In spite of intensive medical care, Mr. Yansaneh's health dramatically deteriorated a few weeks later, and he died on 28 July 2005.
On 1 August 2005, Mrs. Fatmata Hassan was summoned by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the national police to make a statement on the circumstances surrounding Mr. Harry Yansaneh's death, following a complaint he lodged shortly after his aggression with the Freetown central police station.
On 26 August 2005, according to the conclusions of the investigation requested by the government and carried out by the coroner, Mr. Yansaneh's death was "unlawful and illegal" and should as such be qualified as "involuntary manslaughter". In pursuance of the coroner's conclusions, an arrest warrant was issued against Mrs. Fatmata Hassan, Mr. Reginald Bull, a security guard of the building housing For di people, and Mr. Olu Campbell, who was present during the attack. All three were arrested that same day and placed in detention. CID further requested Messrs. Ahmed Komeh and Bai Bureh Komeh, and Mrs. Aminata Komeh, Mrs. Hassan's children, to be immediately extradited from United Kingdom for their alleged involvement in Mr. Yansaneh's manslaughter.
On 30 August 2005, however, Mrs. Hassan, Mr. Bull and Mr. Campbell were released on bail on the order of the High Court of Sierra Leone.
On 7 November 2005, during a press conference convened by the Sierra Leone Association of Journalist (SLAJ), the General Prosecutor stated that he had not been transmitted the coroner's investigation report, and that he could thus not take judicial proceeding against the suspects.

Welcome to the Days Inn Lebanon Valley, minutes from the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire nestled in the heart of the Lebanon Valley. This lodging facility is just minutes from all central Pennsylvania has to offer, including the Mount Hope Estate and Winery, where visitors can enjoy productions in the Theatre in the Mansion. Business rooms include a refrigerator and microwave, and guests wishing to book other types of guest rooms must request a fridge and microwave for a 10 dollar fee per night if desired.
The front desk staff was helpful and the location suited my needs well. Hotel desperately needs renovation and the cleaning staff leaders should be counseled and trained on customer service.
Close to downtown Condition of room for the price paid.
Quick attention to faulty door latch. Friendliness of staff was excellent. The breakfast buffet is a great touch. The hotel was "old painted over" . Otherwise we had a nice stay.

Lysekil Women's Match action commences August 5
by Joakim Hermansson on 15 May 2013
Lysekil Women's Match 2013 Lysekil Women's Match
The 2013 Lysekil Women's Match is set to take place 5-10 August and Danish match racing star Camilla Ulrikkeholm is one of the skippers already having accepted an invitation to this year's event. British Olympian Lucy Macgregor, Claudia Pierce of New Zealand and last year's rookie Alexa Bezel of Switzerland (runner-up in Lysekil 2012) will be some of her competitors. Olympian Anna Kjellberg and fellow Swede Caroline Sylvan will also participate in Lysekil.
'We will race in all the events of the inaugural Women's International Match Racing Series this year,' Anna Kjellberg says.
'The competition will be very tough, but we are aiming on yet another victory in Lysekil,' Camilla Ulrikkeholm comments.
During her ten years on the match racing circuit the Dane chose never to go for the Olympics, but instead combining her occupation as an architect with her sailing career. Despite training sessions four times a week and holding sixth place on the ISAF world ranking, Camilla still thinks that she and her team are sailing on a hobby level, but most people wouldn't agree on that. Her strong ambitions and ability to keep the continuity in her team have lead them to winning the event in Korea two years ago and to two consecutive triumphs in Lysekil. And despite full time work she is now taking her sailing even further:
'We will do almost all the events on the WIMR Series, except for the ones in France and USA. We just can't sort out our busy job schedules to go there.'
Since the end of her Olympic campaign in August last year, Swedish match racer Anna Kjellberg hasn't been sailing that much. Now she is intensifying her racing again, starting already on Thursday this week with the first event on the WIMRSeries. In Saint Quay-Portrieux on the French Atlantic coast she will see the Olympic boat Elliott 6 again:
'This time I will race with three crew instead of just two, she explains, revealing that Karin Almquist, Johanna Larsson and Therese Antman get the chance.'
Kjellberg is match race training at the Royal Gothenburg Yacht Club in Långedrag just outside Gotheburg on the Swedish west coast, where the boat type DS 37 is the same as in Lysekil Women's Match:
'The DS 37 is a perfect platform when trying to form a new team,' Anna explains, 'Looking forward to this season and especially to the final event in Lysekil.'
'Absolutely! Lysekil Women's Match is always the pinnacle of the season,' she laughs.
A total of twelve crews will participate in the Lysekil Women's Match August 5 – 10, with six more crews to be revealed fairly soon. Initiator and project leader Anna Holmdahl White has some aces up her sleeve:
'Several of the top sailors in the world have shown interest to race for our 50 000 USD prize purse,' she says.
Lysekil Women's Match is with a 300 000 SEK (50 000 USD) prize purse the largest yearly event for women match racing sailors, concerning the mix of spectators, publicity and prize money. In match racing the crews meet two by two in exciting duels that can easily be followed and understood by the spectators.
The world's leading women match racing sailors participate in the eighth issue of Lysekil Women's Match, August 5 – 10 2013, arranged by Sailnet Lysekil AB in cooperation with Lysekils SS Gullmar.
Lysekil Women's Match is the final stage of the Women's International Match Racing Series, with events in France, Korea, Denmark, USA and Sweden, and the overall Series prize purse of an additional 50 000 USD will be distributed in

 The IBM CAI blog has moved - please bookmark and follow the new blog at http://www.ibmcai.com

 Alison Fetherstonhaugh

 Consultant, IBM Center for Applied Insights

 At the IBM Center for Applied Insights, we're always searching for new best practices to share with IBM, our clients, and the rest of the world. Which is why, at a recent team meeting, we gathered to discuss a new article from McKinsey. In "The do-or-die questions boards should ask about technology", McKinsey outlines nine questions all boards should be posing to their company management in order to be "technology winners". You'll probably notice that few of these questions focus on the technology – they focus on how to get business value from the technology. These nine questions fit so well with what we try to accomplish at the Center, I thought it would be a good exercise to pull key insights from some of our studies to see how we are helping to address them:

 1. How will IT change the basis of competition in our industry?

 As we've seen in many industries, technology is radically changing the competitive landscape, allowing new companies to gain significant market share from established players. In our 2012 Tech Trends report, we segmented over 1200 respondents into 3 groups based on their organizational stance on emerging IT. What we discovered was that the leaders (Pacesetters) were ahead of their competitors in the mobile, analytics, cloud, and social business spaces. These Pacesetters believe emerging technologies are critical to their business success and are using them to enable new operating and business models to improve their competitive position.

 2. What will it take to exceed our customers' expectations in a digital world?

 Customer expectations are as high as they've ever been - customers demand an experience that is convenient, immediate and hyper-personalized. In "Why leading marketers outperform", we found that leading marketers deliver targeted, personalized messages to customers in real-time through channels such as social media and mobile. These marketers encourage innovation, measure every customer interaction and touch point, and collaborate regularly with IT. Compared to traditional marketers, these leaders have a three year CAGR that is more than 40 percent higher.

 3. Do our business plans reflect the full potential of technology to improve our performance?

 Investing in technology is expensive, but it can yield incredible returns and boost performance. We asked over 1500 IT decision-makers about their attitudes in the Platform-as-a-Service space in "Exploring the frontiers of cloud computing." We found that the leaders, or "Pioneers", were adopting PaaS as a way to drive innovation and improve application lifecycle across the enterprise. For these pioneers, benefits included increased resiliency, efficiency, data management integration, and optimization. According to one respondent, a VP of IT, utilizing PaaS can make a company "more nimble and cost-effective, with consistent performance and faster roll outs." Sounds like a pretty good payoff to me.

 4. Is our portfolio of technology investments aligned with opportunities and threats?

 A technology portfolio must clearly reflect current opportunities and threats, change regularly, and balance short and long-term technology investments. In our Sourcing study, we looked at CEMEX, one of the world's leading suppliers of cements, as an example of company that leveraged opportunity and minimized risks with its long-term sourcing strategy. CEMEX realized it needed to accelerate its transformation and become more agile to respond rapidly to new opportunities and threats. It engaged with a strategic sourcing provider to cut costs, improve productivity, and deliver transformative innovation. CEMEX built innovation into its sourcing contract by requiring the provider to invest annually in innovative projects that helped CEMEX achieve desired business outcomes.

 5. How will IT improve our operational and strategic agility?

 Across industries, customers expect new customized products and services, faster than ever before. In order to decrease time to market, companies can leverage IT to improve operational and strategic agility. We studied operations strategy decision makers from financial markets firms in "Beating market mandates: How winners are re-engineering financial markets operations" to better understand the characteristics of leading companies. The leaders in the study excel at meeting both regulatory and marketplace requirements, and typically introduce new products and services in 3 months or less. These leaders are extremely agile - focusing on improving access to analytics and reducing complexity.

 6. Do we have the capabilities required to deliver value from IT?

 At the Center for Applied Insights, many of our studies are about identifying and understanding the groups that get the most value from IT. Whether it's Chief Information Security Officers who have a mature security strategy, CMOs who act as Marketing Scientists and deeply understand their customers through analytics, or CFOs who accelerate performance through analysis and prescriptive insight, we want to understand the capabilities necessary to get the best possible value from IT.

 7. Who is accountable for IT and how do we hold them to account?

 Who "owns" IT is becoming increasingly difficult to determine. Leading organizations have clear operating models that determine accountability for IT activities - it's not just the CIO who is accountable anymore. In "Accelerating performance: The evolving role of the CFO", we discuss how the CFO must contribute to the company's IT strategy as well. This study looks back at the 2010 IBM Global CFO study, to see how the 2010 leaders are performing today. The outperformers excelled in finance efficiency and business insight, and continue to outperform financially today. However, in order for these leading CFOs to accelerate the performance of their organizations, they must now expand their influence beyond financial decisions to broader, strategic choices about business and operating models.

 8. Are we comfortable with our level of IT risk?

 With explosive growth in connectivity and collaboration, information technology is becoming increasingly complex and difficult to manage - managing risk from IT must be an enterprise-wide priority. In our article series "Security Essentials for CIOs", we define an approach to manage all forms of IT risk, whether it is cybersecurity risk, IT compliance, risk to the supply chain or technology impacts to business transformation efforts.

 9. Are we making the most of our technology story?

 The McKinsey article could not have ended on a better question. We aim to bring stories to life - to show how leaders are building and advancing their businesses with IT. We use data to identify best practices, and communicate an IT story that addresses competition, strategy, value, performance, and risk.

 Time and again, we've identified leaders in our studies and determined that these leaders are asking and getting answers to the nine questions above. If "digital technologies are disrupting industries," then to be a technology winner in any industry, companies need to ask the right questions about IT strategy, and, more importantly, act on the answers they receive.

Since we last visited JoeySilvera...
Anyone who knows their porn history will likely recognize the name Joey Silvera. He started his career in the XXX industry back in the '70s and made the transition from performing to directing in the mid-'90s. He's been credited with bringing tranny porn to the mainstream, but you can see much more than just chicks-with-dicks on his site. There are chubby girls, Asians, strapons, face-fucking... And that's just the tip of the iceberg!
The JoeySilvera site has a nice design and is easy to navigate. You can sort the flicks by scene or DVD and you can also find them by going through the model index. Just know that there are some models listed who don't have any scenes. You can also sort the movies by category, like HD, anal, blonde, blowjob, etc, should you be looking for something even more specific.
There are 738 videos and they can all be streamed in an embedded player as well as downloaded in MP4 and Windows Media files. You can count on getting at least good-quality playback, but there are also 312 of them that can be enjoyed in a Full HD format (all easily identified with an "HD" logo right on the preview thumbnail).
The 384 photo galleries contain gorgeous high-res images. You can save the shots individually or grab the whole set in a Zip file. I am not sure what happened since our last visit, because they added three times as many photos as they did videos. I guess that maybe the last time around they had fallen behind on adding pics and then they played catch up all of a sudden?
Updating is inconsistent. It can be daily for a while and then weeks will go by without seeing anything new. There have been four new videos in the last month (photo sets are undated). If you ever find yourself having to wait for new material, you can keep occupied by visiting the bonus sites. There's Anal Acrobats, Buttman, Gaping Angels and a number of others. They're all part of the Evil Angel network.
There's enough porn on Joey Silvera's site to keep you interested for quite a while. He's an expert in certain niches and if you like his brand of porn, you should definitely join his site. And all the hot bonuses bring even more value to your membership, making this one an easy recommendation.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.
Score: 60% Date: 07/01/2014
There are quite a few good scenes here, and the camera guy does full body shots. The costuming is great, and the action is intense.
The amount of anal content is listed as 213, but 29 of those are lower quality, and about 75 are women fucking dudes with strapons, which I have absolutely zero interest in. That leaves roughly 100 decent videos to choose from.
Most of the 100 videos that are watchable seem pretty good.
Score: 75% Date: 01/26/2011
I joined Joey Silvera because I'm a huge fan of the Face Fucking inc. video series. While I was able to find plenty that I enjoyed on the site and in the many bonus sites I was disappointed that there were so few of the videos that I had joined to watch. Each of the nine DVD's in the series only had one or two scenes excerpted to the site.
Given the bonus sites Joey Silvera is worth the price, but if it were not for those bonus sites it would not be worth it at least to me.
