The Kosovo Precedent? Secession and Frozen Conflicts [Audio]
Speaker(s): Dr Florian Bieber, Professor Bruno Coppieters | This roundtable discussion will explore the concept of secession by placing the experience of Kosovo in a comparative context. Copyright (c)
American Policy Toward Israel: the power and limits of beliefs [Audio]
Speaker(s): Dr Michael Thomas | Most scholars explain America's nearly unconditional support of Israel either as a result of inordinate influence by a small pro-Israel lobby or as the product of strategic choices by presidents. Studies of the Reagan and first Bush administrations demonstrate a more useful way to understand American policy and to predict when it might change. That method involves analysing how policy advocates redefine, institutionally embed, and enforce versions of long-standing
Global Warming and the Political Economy of Cities [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Saskia Sassen | Global warming will fundamentally alter the political economy of cities. A large number of cities will be in the front line of the most massive onslaughts of these changes. What do engineers and architects already know about how we can adjust our built environments? And how can ecological economists help to take us beyond the Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change? Saskia Sassen is Centennial Professor at LSE and Professor, Committee on Global Thoug
Can we still trust TV? [Audio]
Speaker(s): Mark Stephens | Telly has had a torrid 2007. Under fire for fake competitions, phones ins that are scams and documentaries that are 'fakes' public trust has plummeted and the audience relationship sorely tested. Join us as we put TV on Trial.
Migration and Social Transformation [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Stephen Castles | Growing interest in migration research reflects the politicisation of international migration but this could lead to policy-driven research, cut off from critical analysis. Stephen Castles is professor of migration and refugee studies, and director of the international migration institute at the University of Oxford.
Children's Media: More Harm than Good? [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Sonia Livingstone | Public policy is scrutinising potential media harms, given rapid expansion of the internet, fears over 'toxic' childhood, and pressing dilemmas for media regulation. But is the media the problem or the solution?
The Global Company of 2020- what does the future hold? [Audio]
Speaker(s): Dominic Casserley | Dominic Casserley will discuss the challenges and opportunities facing global companies in 2020. Will they be similar to the multinational of today? If not, how will they differ? Will they have to be large? How will they relate to investors? How will they interact with consumers? How will they manage their talent pools? How will they interact with society more broadly? Drawing on his extensive experience of advising major multi-national organisations across the wo
International Relations in a Post-Hegemonic Age [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Fred Halliday | The academic study of International Relations has, since since its emergence after World War I, sought to combine the development of theoretical frameworks with an engagement, of greater or lesser immediacy, with the changing course of international events. Empire, World War, Cold War and post-1991 US hegemony have all been objects of its concern. Today, oscillating at times uneasily between the enticements of abstraction, and the rush of actuality, the disc
What is Wrong with Secularism of all Sorts? Priority for Democracy [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Veit Bader | The lecture presents a contextualised criticism of first and second order myths of secularisms and of the conflation of liberal-democratic institutions with secular ones, and argues for the priority of liberal democracy. Veit Bader holds chairs in sociology, and social and political philosophy, both at the Universiteit van Amsterdam.
The Incompatibility of Science and Religion [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor John Worrall | Richard Dawkins and others claim that science and religion are incompatible. Others argue that on a more sophisticated view there is only the appearance of a clash. Who is right? John Worrall is professor of philosophy of science at LSE.
Many Voices: understanding the debate about preventing violent extremism [Audio]
Speaker(s): Hazel Blears MP | The tragic events of 7/7 illustrated the threat to our society posed by violent extremism. Preventing it is one of the defining challenges of our age. Hazel Blears will explore the tough choices government has to make - how to empower new voices to join the debate, how to support people standing up for shared values and how to equip communities with the skills, confidence, and resilience they need to be part of the solution. In June 2007, Hazel Blears became the Sec
What should the next G20 meeting do? [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Michael Cox, Will Hutton; Professor Danny Quah | The upcoming meeting of the G20 in London in early April 2009 is crucial for the development of policies to stabilise the world economy and reform the international financial architecture. What will the G20 do and what should it do? Will Hutton, Danny Quah, Mick Cox and David Held debate the issues.

Speaker(s): Peter Feith | A look at Kosovo's achievements and challenges over the past year, highlighting the current state of play and the priorities and vision of the Kosovo government and its international partners as the country prepares for European Union membership.
Human Security in an Age of Turbulence [Audio]
Speaker(s): Mary Kaldor | Mary Kaldor is a prolific author who has written widely on a range of key issues over the years ranging from the 'Baroque Arsenal' (1982) a study that challenged the logic of militarism and the belief that more weapons meant more security, through to her groundbreaking 'New Wars'(1999) a book that reveals the new forms that organized violence will take in the 21st century. Mary Kaldor today is one of the most influential and respected alternative voices in the field of
The Idea of Justice [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Amartya Sen | Amartya Sen explores the ways in which, and the degree to which, justice is a matter of reason, and of different kinds of reason. This event marks the launch of Professor Sen's new book The Idea of Justice. Amartya Sen is Lamont University Professor at Harvard and an honorary fellow of LSE. He won the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1998 and was Master of Trinity College, Cambridge 1998-2004. His books include Development as Freedom (OUP), The Argumentative India

Speaker(s): Professor Amartya Sen; Professor Richard Sennett | Nobel Prize winner Professor Amartya Sen will discuss his latest book The Idea of Justice with LSE's Professor Richard Sennett. This major philosophical work by one of the world's leading public intellectuals constructs a new theory of justice, not from abstract ideals or notions of what perfect institutions and rules might be, but from what the results of a system are practically, in the world. It highlights the importance of public
LSE Literary Festival - Reading London [Audio]
Speaker(s): Will Alsop, Professor Rosemary Ashton, Leo Hollis, Hans Ulrich Obrist | How do we attempt to understand the sprawling "modern Babylon" that is London, with its layers of social, political and cultural history? Can art, architecture and literature help us to 'read' this complex city?
The Career-Family Conundrum [Audio]
Speaker(s): Professor Claudia Goldin | The talk concerns the challenges facing highly-educated young men and women who wish to have families while pursuing careers such as those in business, medicine, law, and academia. The long history of the career and family quest among college graduate women is explored, and relationships between demands in the labor market for workplace flexibility and the response by occupations, firms, and institutions are addressed.
Cities Under Siege [Audio]
Speaker(s): Stephen Graham | Cities have become the new battleground of our increasingly urban world. From the slums of the global South to the wealthy financial centres of the West, Cities Under Siege traces how political violence now operates through the sites, spaces, infrastructures and symbols of the world's rapidly expanding metropolitan areas. Drawing on a wealth of original research, Graham shows how Western and Israeli militaries and security forces now perceive all urban terrain as a r

The yacht-like Moebius House in Sydney, Australia, is by architectural firm Tony Owen Partners. The firm calls this work "liquid architecture…whereby projects are designed parametrically using 3-D digital software to respond to environmental issues." In the Dover Heights neighborhood, with panoramic views of Sydney Harbor, the house is assembled around a chassis, like a car, with preformed metal cladding panels attached to create a shell.

Switzer tales: Touting Troy Aikman
Former Texas coach David McWilliams attended the Texas High School Football Hall of Fame inductions on May 8. His Longhorn quarterback in 1989-91, Peter Gardere, was among the honorees. Gardere went on to QB for John Mackovic in 1992 and finished 4-0 against the Sooners.
The Texas contingent to support Gardere was limited mostly to McWilliams, who has worked in UT's administration since he was fired to make way for Mackovic. In fact, a couple of hours before the banquet in Waco, Texas, McWilliams was invited to join the huge OU contingent – Barry Switzer, nine former Sooner players and former assistants Gene Hochever and Rex Norris – that had assembled to honor Thomas Lott, OU's 1976-78 quarterback who also was inducted.
McWilliams lingered in the Hilton lounge listening to all the old stories. He chimed in only once, to say he appreciated Switzer. McWilliams said that in spring 1986, when Troy Aikman was planning to transfer from OU, Switzer called McWilliams, who had just become head coach at Texas Tech. Switzer told McWilliams he should give Aikman a call.
McWilliams said he called Aikman, and Aikman's family was very receptive. Said Aikman was visiting UCLA that weekend, and if he didn't jump aboard with the Bruins, he would visit Lubbock. Of course, Aikman liked UCLA and the rest is history.
Which set off Switzer to tell one of his favorite stories, of coaching the Hula Bowl all-star game in January 1986. In that game, Switzer coached Purdue's Jim Everett, who was considered a top NFL prospect and who indeed went on to a long and productive career in the pros. That week, Switzer told the NFL scouts, "I know this; I've got a quarterback at Oklahoma throws the ball better than this (SOB)." The scouts "looked at me and hee-hawed."
Guess Switzer got the last laugh.

In the technical writing world in general, and at IBM in particular, writers are becoming more involved in the software design and development process. We're beginning to embed product help directly into the product UI. Our goal is to eliminate the need for our clients to interrupt their work and go looking for help. No longer will separate, independent documentation be the only content that we deliver. The techniques that we use are Progressive Disclosure and Embedded Assistance.

IBM's own Andrea Ames presented these techniques to the Society for Technical Communication summit in May 2012. A blog post by Sarah Maddox (http://ffeathers.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/stc-summit-day-2-progressive-disclosure/) gives an overview of what Andrea said. I'm not going to give a summary of the summary; you can read Sarah's post yourself. But what I will do is give a quick example of what embedded assistance is and how it can make using software easier by delivering information when you need it and where you need it.

For example, in SmartCloud for Social Business, when you start a Community you must choose one of the access options. The options are Restricted, Moderated, and Open. In the old way of doing things, the options would be simply listed. But what do these mean? How do you choose? In the old way, you would have to first find the documentation, and then find the section in the documentation that contained the information. And that's if you even bothered to look; most of us would probably pick the best-looking option, cross our fingers, and hope for the best.

The new way is to add text to the option so that now you can quickly decide the type of access that you want for your Community. The options, as shown in the graphic below, are Restricted (people must be invited to join), Moderated (anyone in my organization can see content but must request to join), and Open (anyone in my organization can join).

Help should be easy to use, easy to understand, and easy to find, and there's nothing easier to find than text right there on the screen.

And although we've made a good start at this, we still have a ways to go. For one thing, it's a whole new way of working. Writers must work with the UX people to make sure that our content has a place, and also work with the developers to get the changes implemented. And like any new way of doing things, the transition is not without its challenges. People who are accustomed to working alone are now working together. Where before we only had to confer with colleagues who were familiar with our own domain (because writers spoke with other writers, designers with other designers, and developers with other developers), we now have to speak to each other. And lets face it, designers and developers are just plain weird. They would no doubt say the same about writers.

But on the other hand, we all learn new things, and because of this our jobs are far from tedious. We also learn the problems and issues and stumbling blocks that our counterparts face in their day-to-day work. And there's a thread that binds us; we all have ambitious plans and tight schedules, and we all feel a little down when the schedule is just a little too tight or the plan just a little too ambitious, forcing us to let something go until the next release.

Overall though, for me this is a welcome change in my job description. Not only do I get a chance to influence the design of a product and the way that a product works, but I also get to think more and write less. And I like thinking!

Cut energy bills in the coming year by increasing efficiency and receive tax incentives from the federal government for upgrades. The incentives are available as a result of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct). To review valuable information on these new federal income tax incentives, visit the Tax Incentives Assistance Project (TIAP) website. This online resource was created to help individuals and businesses increase energy efficiency and cut their energy and federal tax bills.
In a release issued by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE), one of many organizations that is part of the TIAP coalition, the new law is explained: "Consumers and businesses can receive tax incentives for specific energy-efficiency upgrades to homes and commercial buildings, such as upgrades to home insulation and windows and commercial building lighting improvements. In addition, the law includes tax credits for energy-saving technologies such as hybrid vehicles, appliances, heating and cooling systems, solar energy systems, and high-efficiency new home and commercial building construction."
"We hope consumers and businesses will log onto the TIAP website to get the information they need to lower their energy bills and their federal income tax liability," says Steven Nadel, executive director, ACEEE. "Another advantage of this federal policy is to grow the marketplace for energy-efficient technologies so that product availability can increase and product prices decline, providing long-term benefits even after the tax incentives expire."

Online display advertising is generally used to build brand reach but it can also generate a direct response. Used alongside searches it can create up to a 22% increase in conversions.
Display advertising is still a growing sector, increasing 31% year on year in the UK alone. The addition of rich media formats (including video) has fuelled recent market growth by 45% to £592 million. In contrast there has been a decline in TV and radio ad spend. (Source: IAB)
Display advertising offers some of the most sophisticated targeting in the advertising landscape. For example, display advertising can now be targeted, using behavioural and contextual algorithms, enabling you to enjoy higher conversion rates and ROI.
The advent of Google's Content Network has brought about a convergence of search and display advertising. Typically, Google Content Network runs advertising on non-premium positions (not on the first page). The fastest growing inventory on the web is non-premium display, which is driving this convergence between search and display advertising. More and more non-premium inventory (not on first page) is being served using context based placement models e.g.:
...and will continue to evolve to search type dynamics, bought in an auction based environment. This convergence and pricing model, coupled with the new rich media advertising formats, makes display advertising one of the most powerful and attractive online marketing tools. Don't let your brand miss out on this opportunity. Call Alchemy Interactive now.
Our experienced in-house team of creatives, planners and buyers retain full control over creative execution, planning, buying, ad tracking, reporting and analysis. We'll save you time and money while, crucially, helping to increase your return on investment.

A suspected burglar is dead after deputies say he tried to make his getaway early Wednesday morning.
Wayne County deputies say Trooper Bennie Grady was heading home just after midnight when he spotted a suspicious vehicle at a neighbor's home on Rosewood Road. As the state trooper was getting out of his cruiser, they say Dustin Mitchell of Princeton ran out of the home, jumped in his car and took off.
Deputies say by the time the trooper caught up to Mitchell he found the man dead after his vehicle crashed into a tree. They say some stolen property was recovered after the crash.

I've walked these streets a thousand times, still this world never seemed colder*
Compromised a thousand times to the will of malicious minds.
Reality never hit so fucking hard.
Crushed by endless desperation, endless surrender.
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps.
Is this what I have become?
Retrace the steps, retrace the steps.
What the fuck have I become?
Security, illusion for the weak.
Refuge, sought in routine.
Another gear in their fucking machine.
See, you can win the rat race but you're still nothing but a fucking rat.
So seek that crown, because in this kingdom of fools true ignorance reigns supreme.
I see this city for what it is, a monument to the depths of human misery.
Retrace the steps.
What have we become?

A year after the United States went to war against Iraq, Japanese people are asking themselves what it really meant to Japan. All questions begin with a central fact that underscores Japanese foreign policy: Japan and the U.S. are bound closely together under a bilateral security treaty. Yet many are wondering whether the government was right to throw its full weight behind a preemptive war that had no explicit backing of the United Nations.
The invasion all but destroyed Western unity, with France and Germany parting with the U.S. and Britain. Paris and Berlin — advocates of a peaceful solution — argued that the U.N. hunt for Iraqi weapons of mass destruction should be continued. But Washington and London — proponents of a military solution — maintained that the use of force was the only way to meet an imminent threat of WMD. As U.S. President George W. Bush put it, nations were "either with us or against us." Japan joined the U.S.-led "coalition of the willing," thus acquiescing in the use of force against Iraq. Stressing the primacy of the Japan-U.S. alliance relationship, Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi expressed clear-cut support for the war. But much of the Japanese public was unconvinced.
That support signaled, at least temporarily, a shift of emphasis in Japanese foreign policy — a shift to closer cooperation with America and away from U.N.-centered international cooperation. That did not necessarily mean a switch from multilateralism to unilateralism, but there was no denying that public confidence in Japan's professed U.N. policy had suffered.
During a Diet debate in January, Mr. Koizumi used rather blunt language in explaining why he supported the Iraq invasion. "Japan cannot secure its peace and security on its own. That's why we have a (security) alliance with America," he said. "The United Nations will not send troops over here to prevent aggression." Mr. Koizumi is known for his forthrightness, but the comment seemed to elicit more doubt than trust in his Iraq policy.
What divided Japanese opinion most sharply, however, was the fact that the government supported a war that the U.N. refused to sanction. The Koizumi administration, it was widely perceived, had no choice but to go along with the Bush administration. In the absence of conclusive evidence of WMD, however, there was considerable skepticism about the legitimacy of preemptive military action.
Even if war was inevitable as a measure of last resort, the argument went, Japan should have done more to explore the possibilities for a peaceful solution. That was a forceful argument, given particularly the pacifist traditions of the nation's post-World War II foreign policy. In fact, many wondered whether the government might have overextended and overexposed itself in giving such prompt support for the military incursion.
Now, public opinion here is polarized over the war's most important consequence for Japan: the deployment of Self-Defense Forces in southern Iraq to support humanitarian and reconstruction efforts. The SDF mission is a followup to Japan's joining the "willing coalition," but many believe that sending ground troops to a country where fighting still continues — the first such dispatch since the SDF was created half a century ago — contradicts the constitutional clause that renounces war and the use of force as a means of settling international disputes.
The nation is also split over the war on terrorism. The question at stake is how, not whether, to fight terrorists. With former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein out of power, President Bush says the world is now safer than before. The truth is that terrorist attacks are spreading not only in Iraq but also in other regions. Japan, including SDF troops in Iraq, is not immune from terrorist strikes.
Increasingly, Japanese people are beginning to wonder whether it is good policy for Japan to staunchly support America's hardline policy. An international poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center finds that support for the U.S. war on terrorism is slipping in Europe and in Muslim countries. The survey, published on the heels of the March 11 train blasts in Madrid, is a reminder of America's tarnished image as the world's sole superpower.
There is a growing realization, both here and abroad, that closer and wider international cooperation is essential to combat new security threats in the world, particularly terrorism and the proliferation of WMD. It is time that the U.S. recognized the limitations of its military might and began promoting broader international efforts to address these threats by peaceful and diplomatic means. For Japan it is also time to readjust its foreign-policy calibrations with greater emphasis placed on multilateral cooperation.

- The Corpus Christi Rayz have a new logo and name- "new" IceRays logo
- so do the Tulsa Oilers.......about the logo, not the name- as seen on the chl website
- I found this article on sportingnews.com, which goes along with another article in ranking the top non-conference schedules in the nation, here's an excerpt
"LSU and Kentucky should be embarrassed. Kentucky, to a point, is understandable: three gimme games are a must to reach bowl status. But LSU? Shameful."
Here is LSU's non conference schedule : Appalachian State, Troy, North Texas and Tulane. First, after last season, I'm a little nervous about Appy State coming into Louisiana's version of the Big House, on the season opener no less.......the other 3 teams may be shameful, but at least mention the first potential landmine, eh? and 2nd, how many good teams really want to play LSU? even playing the first game of the "home and home" is just putting off the inevitable showdown in Death Valley....which will most likely be at night since CBS is out of the picture (not an SEC game). In case you didn't know, LSU loses a home night game about as often as you hear someone say something good about George W Bush.....unless you live in Texas, obviously. So, any school that signs a contract to play LSU knows before hand that A) They are ending their chances at undefeated season, years before that particular season even starts, or B) Should they happen to win, they know for a fact that they better schedule their bye week for the week following the game vs LSU because of the toll it will take on their players. Just ask Virginia Tech.
Of course, USC was ranked at the top....funny they didn't mention their conference schedule, or LSU/Kentucky's for that matter. Oh well....

Gung Hay Fat Choy! Happy Chinese New Year!
What holiday coming up is filled with dragon dances, fire-crackers, long-noodles, and gifts of red envelopes filled with money? Chinese New Year! There multiple choices for those who want to celebrate this holiday via the power of books. Here are a few festive options:
We Are the World
Multiculturalism is a complex concept, and a seven-syllable word, to boot. Little kids might not be able to say it, let alone understand it. How does a kid in preschool wrap his or her head around it? Luckily, there are a few books that take this abstract idea and make it really accessible. Here are three that I like.
Holiday Crafts: How to Make Gingerbread Man Christmas Ornaments
I made some of these adorable gingerbread man ornaments with the kids and for our Christmas book displays. Gingerbread man crafts are very fun to make and they made great gifts for the holiday season. Joanna (in the photos below) gave one to Nancy Stegeman (our Central youth services staff) and one to her brother and sister.
More than Books: A Day at Central Youth Services
Anna Francesca Garcia, Education Librarian, demonstrates with photos of her child how the library is more than just a place full of books. Priceless!
What is your "Chocolate Me!" Story?
What is your Chocolate Me! story? Everyone has one!
In Chocolate Me! written by Taye Diggs and illustrated by Shane W. Evans, a young boy is teased by the kids in the neighborhood for his darker skin color. The young boy, upset and confused, then inquires to his mom, who tells him that we are all unique in our own way and we should embrace our differences, it's the thing that makes us all special! Love your chocolate skin, for it is part of you! Chocolate Me! is all about finding your own sweet inside. It is about individuality, positivity and accepting each other's differences.

XtreemFS 1.4 Announced
The XtreemFS team releases a new stable version of their cloud filesystem: XtreemFS 1.4.
For this latest version of XtreemFS, some major improvements were made to the existing code and new features were added. Some of the changes include:
- Improved stability: The development team calls the latest version "rock solid" and notes that a problem with client crashes caused by network timeouts and issues with the Read/Write file replication has been fixed.
- Asynchronous writes: With this functionality enabled, write() requests are executed in the background, improving write throughput without weakening semantics, according to the announcement.
- Windows Client (beta): The new version of the filesystem features a complete rewrite of this component.
- Hadoop support: The development team says XtreemFS can be used as replacement for HDFS in a Hadoop setup. The new version comes with a rewritten Hadoop client that provides data locality information to Hadoop.
According to the project blog, XtreemFS 1.4 is the result of almost 1000 commits to the code repository and extensive testing. And, because XtreemFS is an open source project, the team welcomes external contributions. A list of areas in which to contribute can be found on the project website at: http://xtreemfs.blogspot.de/.

The Gathering Dark (edition 2012)
by Leigh Bardugo
Work details
Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Excited by this author and the rich and developed Grisha world she has created. I read this one after reading Six of Crows, her latest book which is not part of this series but still based on the same world. I would definitely recommend reading these before Six of Crows. Now should I race through all of these before Crooked Kingdom comes out? Aack! Too many books, too little time!
Actual rating - 2.5 out of 5
I decided to read this book as I saw it was on the selection for World Book Night and perhaps I've judged it a bit harshly because of that. As the WBN books are chosen by the public and examples of brilliant writing, I thought that this novel would be a lot stronger than it actually turned out to be. However, it's not entirely without merit.
The setting and world building are, frankly, excellent. Shadow and Bone is a departure from your typical high fantasy setting. The country of Ravna is loosely inspired by Imperialist Russia, taking much of its technology, political structure and aesthetics from this period. It's decadent and very beautiful, filled with rich descriptions of opulent castles and beautiful clothing. Its magic system is interestingly different, featuring some typical elementalists but also people who can control cloth or, simply, stop a man's heart with a look.
However, beneath this really original exterior is a rather standard story. Shadow and Bone is a very light read, containing little of the complexity of the likes of Red Queen or Graceling. It's a world of black and white. Characters that appear good at a glance generally are, while characters that seem evil have no subtlety. There are no shades of grey in the world at all which made the overall story very predictable. The plot also relies heavily on deus ex machinas to save the day, leading to a very sudden and weak climatic battle.
While the novel gets off to a strong start, this is quickly derailed as the inevitable YA love triangle between naive girl, bland childhood friend and bad boy creeps in. Personally, I found this to be the story's weakest point. Not enough time is spent on developing either relationship so I ultimately didn't really feel for Alina as she was drawn between them.
This is a problem with a lot of the characters in general - I just wasn't given a reason to care for them. While I did like Alina most of the time, she had random moments where she suddenly flipped character and did things that I couldn't explain. Similarly, Mal just irritated the Hell out of me. He projected his negative feelings for the situation on Alina, blaming her for things that she really had no control over. The Darkling was probably the most interesting character, at least initially, however he also provided to be rather 2-dimensional over all.
In all, the novel had a nice concept but was mired by some rather unoriginal plotting and characters. I hope that these issues are ironed out over the rest of the trilogy.
Great characters and story. Impressive world building.
A keeper.
I haven't read a ton of fantasy since high school when I decided to tackle Lord of the Rings. Well that's not completely true, I have read the first two books in A Song of Ice and Fire. But seriously, these are the only books I've read until Shadow and Bone. I absolutely LOVED this book. It was everything I hoped for and more. I was up late because I couldn't put it down.
Bardugo does an amazing job creating this world and the characters. Throughout the book I felt Alina's loneliness and need to be a part of a group. She never fit in with her troop, and still doesn't really belong with Grisha. She goes through so many emotions, including heart ache, in order to find who she is. The only person she has ever felt understood by is Mal, her childhood best friend. He is the one constant in her life, or was, until she was swept off to join the Grisha.
The Darkling is someone many people fear. He is the only Grisha with black robes, and is extremely mysterious. He has secrets that he means to keep hidden. I was so back and forth on him and his intentions during most of the book. But after certain events, and I'm not a fan. Or maybe that will change later. :P
I kept getting choked up on the some of the words. They can be a little hard to pronounce. But I did the best I could and moved on. It's mostly just titles that are difficult.
The world she built is still so vivid in my mind, even a week after putting the book down. I'm sure I'll be doing a re-read soon. I highly recommend this for fans of fantasy. It is an epic story that will leave you wanting more!
Shadow and Bone is the first novel in the Grisha Trilogy, which follows a girl named Alina in a land where magicians called Grisha serve the king. Alina and her longtime friend Mal both serve in the non-magical division of the army, but they are attacked by volcra (monsters) and then miraculously saved by Alina's latent magical power. The Darkling, the most powerful magician in the land, takes an interest in Alina, and training and heroics follow.
I loved the world in this. It was an interesting combination of fantastical but very real. Not real in a grit-and-grime, you-see-every-pockmark-on-the-whores kind of way, but all of the characters seem to solidly belong there and know what's going on in their own land. There was just enough detail in the clothing, geography, etc that I felt comfortable in it. The magic system, too, was really comprehensive. I loved all of the details and rules for the different kinds of magic-users, even down to the clothes they wear.
Alina was a well-rounded protagonist who annoyed me a bit at first but she is developed very well through the course of the book, and easy to root for. It was frustrating that she couldn't manage to make any friends. I really want her to have a girl BFF, but every time she met a female she was all, "omg they haaaaaaate me." She DOES befriend Genya (who I loved) but that didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, either.
The "love triangle" in this book was awkward because, for me, the Darkling was so much more complex and fascinating than Mal. In fact, he interested me above and beyond most everyone except for Genya. I loved her and the Darkling, probably more than Alina and Mal. I'm not saying the book should have been about them (but the book should have been about them (just kidding (mostly))). I also really loved Baghra, the teacher. I have a fondness for characters who kick protagonists in their hesitating-and-reluctant behinds.
I really disliked Mal, but I am hoping in future books that will change. It's hard to present a character, who is obviously well-loved by the main character, but whom we never see do anything particularly nice or heroic and then have him disappear for a large part of the book, and still expect us to like him. My frequent reaction to him was "Wow what a jackass". I think the author did her best to give us some good things about Mal, mostly through Alina's memories, but I mostly only cared about him at all because Alina did, rather than for his own sake.
I liked the beginning and ending chapters a lot, their tone and style and how they brought the story into a full wraparound. The only thing that kinda ruined that effect was the climax. Boy howdy did I hate the climax. The climax accomplished almost nothing. In the end, it feels like the entire novel is just a giant prologue for the rest of the series/trilogy. We've gotten to know the characters, what's at stake, and who is working for Good and who is working for Evil, but nothing has really been accomplished except training and development (really great character development in this book, if I didn't mention that) all around for everyone.
I gave Shadow and Bone four out of five stars. I really enjoyed it, in spite of my complaints, and I'm looking forward to more from this author.

When Hazel McCallion arrived in Streetsville as a young bride in 1951, the village was changing. Developers were showing up at farmhouses, settling land deals with a handshake.
By the time she became mayor of the fledgling city of Mississauga in 1978, the course had already been set for suburban sprawl. Streetsville and other scattered villages had been melded, and it would be McCallion who would steer their transformation into a metropolis — not as an urban planner, but as a populist with a genius for anticipating what people wanted and a conservative eye on the wallet.
After three decades at the helm, the greatest mark McCallion would leave on the city would not be low-density housing, a forced downtown core, or a reserve fund.
It would be herself.
On Monday, the beloved mayor turns 90. She has indicated this will be her last term. Her career has been marked with success, but of late her reputation has taken a beating. As her last years in office wind down, the mayor's actions in a land deal involving her son are being aired in an ongoing inquiry.
Tom Urbaniak, a professor at Cape Breton University, calls McCallion a "political scientist's dream case study."
Through the years, her beliefs about the city have evolved with her voters. In some ways, it is hard to tell where Hazel McCallion ends and Mississauga begins.
The city of Mississauga did not exist when Hazel Journeaux was born in 1921. The Lakeshore Highway, between Toronto and Hamilton, had been paved a few years earlier, and Toronto Township, the predecessor to Mississauga, was beginning to become a suburb — an alternative to Toronto's gritty city life.
Journeaux grew up in Port Daniel, Que., a small Gaspé town. Urbaniak, who wrote Her Worship: Hazel McCallion and the Development of Mississauga, returned with the mayor to her childhood home a few years ago and noted a striking similarity among members of the Journeaux clan: Most shared Hazel's "tightly constructed lips."
McCallion was a child when the Great Depression hit. At 12, she was already in charge of payroll for the family fishing business.
They weren't "desperately poor," says Urbaniak. "The family was entrepreneurial and active in the community, but there was a prevailing sense of frugality, and I have no doubt that shaped her political personality,"
Of the five children, two became mayors. When Lockhart Journeaux died in a car accident on the way to a council meeting as mayor of Port Daniel, his little sister Hazel was still years away from becoming Streetsville's mayor.
After high school in Quebec, she attended a secretarial school in Montreal and moved to Toronto in the '40s to run the office of Kellogg Company, a major construction firm.
Outside of work, she was a joiner. She volunteered much of her time with the Anglican Young People's Association, where she kept subscriptions of a monthly newsletter up to date and was a club booster. A 1947 profile noted: "It is felt moreover that she will contribute more than the average leader."
In 1949, the young woman with the "sunny smile" became the first "lady president" of the organization. In being willing to take on responsibility and being pushy but likeable, Hazel found a formula that would serve her throughout the political career to come.
She also found the man whose last name she would make famous. Sam McCallion, a few years younger, was the program research convenor for the Anglican youth organization, and like Hazel wrote for the newsletter.
Sam adopted a breezy tone about how to plan get-togethers: "No party is complete without refreshments ... you might serve ice cream with a rose," he wrote in 1951.
The woman who had caught his eye wrote with authority: "The aim (of the AYPA) is to promote the religious, social and intellectual welfare of the members," she pointed out in a 1950 editorial. "Is your branch a group of young people endeavouring to fulfill these requirements or would it be better classified as a social club?"
Already, she had the stern tone mastered.
When the newlyweds moved to Streetsville, they started a dry-cleaning business, and later, an advertorial paper.
It didn't take long for Hazel McCallion to rise to public attention, even at a time when women weren't often seen in community leadership. By 1964, she was a citizen member of the planning board, and by 1970 she was mayor of Streetsville, winning on a platform of curbing development. She was simultaneously raising three children: Peter, Paul and Linda.
When the province conceived the idea of Mississauga — a municipality destined to swallow Streetsville — she fought to expropriate land for Streetsville to grow into a city in its own right.
It was a fight she could not win, but a popular cause. And that was all that mattered.
When McCallion became a Mississauga councillor in 1974, the city was already beginning its famous pattern of sprawl. The "big three" local developers — Bruce McLaughlin (city centre/Hurontario), E.P. Taylor (Erin Mills), and Markborough Developments (Meadowvale) — had bought up a good portion of the available land in the centre, west side, and northwest corner of the city.
McCallion came in as a reformer, criticizing the lax attitude toward development and pushing for an official plan, Urbaniak said.
When Ron Searle became mayor, McCallion called for development charges and lot levies. She proclaimed the mantra that would become the core of her political mandate: Growth must pay for itself.
"We may be building a city, but then again, we may end up with no people because they won't be able to afford to live here," she said in 1978.
McCallion ran for mayor that year. She wanted to bring in more industrial and commercial development, build a second hospital and cap the population (then just 250,000) at 500,000 "so we won't be crammed in like sardines."
She beat Searle by 3,000 votes.
A year later, she would face her first big test.
In November 1979, a train carrying chlorine and other dangerous chemicals derailed in Mississauga. The propane exploded and chlorine gas seeped into the air. Some 220,000 people had to be evacuated. McCallion took charge, overseeing the evacuations, and later fighting for tougher transport rules.
With her reputation as the people's champion thus entrenched, McCallion's council made a trade-off in 1981. Land that would normally be released for development in stages would be made available all at once, but developers would have to pay levies to cover the cost of new infrastructure such as libraries, parks, roads and community centres.
City and regional staff warned that existing neighbourhoods needed to be built out and the sprawl resulting from this policy would create a car-dependent city, explained Urbaniak. But McCallion and her council voted to take the gamble. Suburbs built on former farm fields that didn't offend the established neighbourhoods followed.
"In some ways, Hazel actually drove a pretty tough bargain with the developers," said Neil Thomlinson, a politics professor at Ryerson University. "That was a revolutionary concept."
But by taking part in debate over the release of land, McCallion made a serious mistake. Some of that land was hers.
In 1982, a judge found that she had committed a "substantial error in judgment" in failing to declare a conflict of interest during council debate over future land releases.
Yet later that year, she was re-elected with 71 per cent of the vote. The people had spoken.
In the years that followed, the libraries, parks and roads kept going in, and the city's money stayed in the bank.
The development levies and her city's debt-free status would make her famous, but not for great urban design.
When 26-year-old Hazel Journeaux went to Oslo for the 2nd World Conference of Christian Youth, she was charmed by the great cities she saw in postwar Europe.
"To be in Paris was a dream come true," she wrote in the Young Anglican monthly. "Standing on the Place de la Concorde we gazed to the right and beheld the Louvre Palace."
Thirty years later, Mississauga had no Louvre, or even a commanding town square. It had Square One, suburbs, and a nice waterfront.
"It grew how the developers wanted it to grow," said Larry Taylor, a former councillor who clashed with McCallion long before her latest tormenter, Carolyn Parrish, was on the scene. "There's still no downtown and still no sense of city there."
Taylor, now a real estate broker, remains frustrated about the city that never was. As a councillor in the '70s and '80s, he tried to get council on board to redevelop Burnhamthorpe Rd. into something more urbane.
"I wanted something like University Ave., with some water features, a grand boulevard, to know you had entered into the city centre," he said. "Out of all that, I got the fountain at the library."
McCallion, says Urbaniak, was no Fiorello LaGuardia — New York's visionary urban reformer. While she had no specific vision for the city, she wanted to leave her imprint on its downtown, and insisted on building landmarks among the parking lots.
The Civic Centre and Living Arts Centre were the product of international competitions in the late '80s and early '90s, built next to the shopping mall that marks the de facto centre of Mississauga.
When the Living Arts Centre was completed, the Star's Christopher Hume was impressed, but criticized its failure to mesh with the aggressively postmodern Civic Centre, which he called one of the most "remarkable buildings" in Canada.
"(Architect) Zeidler ignored the obvious cues and lapsed into the architectural arbitrariness so typical of Mississauga," Hume wrote.
Along with arbitrary architecture, McCallion's Mississauga has not been a great friend to the heritage preservation community.
In 2004, a 160-year-old farmhouse that was not on the city's list of heritage property was demolished by a developer. Urbaniak writes in his book that between 1994 and 2005, Mississauga did not pursue any designations under the Ontario Heritage Act unless the owner of the property agreed.
But McCallion could be a heritage activist when it counted.
Before the Avro Arrow hanger was torn down in 2004, she tried to get Ottawa to save it. As with the battle for Streetsville, the effort failed. But McCallion was perceived as being on the right side.
And that's how a mayor gets herself re-elected with 90 per cent of the vote.
"She has a remarkable ability to feel the public pulse, get a sense of emerging movements and pre-empt them. That pre-emption, so shrewdly, has perhaps unwittingly stifled, to some extent, civic engagement," Urbaniak says.
Matthew Wilkinson, a historian with Heritage Mississauga, says the perception that Mississauga developed haphazardly isn't fair.
"There is a lot more structure and thought (behind it) than people understand," he said. "Granted, some of it didn't work. It doesn't mean the thought wasn't there."
As McCallion saw her landmarks go up in the late '80s and '90s, her husband — the gentleman of Streetsville — was failing. Sam McCallion, who had suffered from Alzheimer's for years, died in 1997.
"We loved Uncle Sam," said Enid Bechervaise, McCallion's 69-year-old niece. "He was a real sweetheart."
McCallion returned to work and kept herself busy. But the post-millennium era has been difficult.
In 2004, her developer son Peter wanted a landmark of his own, a hotel complex near city hall. His mother came along for meetings with a potential operator and did a good deal more to grease the wheels, according to evidence presented in the current inquiry. But she said she was not there to influence anything other than the public good.
Justice Douglas Cunningham will decide that. His inquiry report is expected within weeks.
"With all this schmozzle going on, I hope and pray she can keep up her strength," said Bechervaise, who still calls the mayor "Aunt Hazel."
Perhaps bruised by the negative turn of media coverage lately, McCallion declined to be interviewed on the eve of her 90th birthday.
The zero-tax-increase years are long over. The reserve fund from the boom years is running dry. The infrastructure is aging, and there is little land left to develop. Mississauga's future will be one of provincially mandated intensification, certain to draw the kind of NIMBY opposition the city has largely avoided for years.
McCallion has acknowledged the city is facing hard times and things need to change. When she turned 88, she told the Star her biggest regret has been lack of transit planning. "You can't build a public transit system based on single homes," she said. "You need the density."
Paul Bedford, Toronto's former chief planner, says Mississauga is rethinking its land use, and McCallion has been "instrumental" recently in pushing for smart growth.
In her 1951 farewell message as president of the Anglican Young People's Association, a 30-year-old Journeaux asked readers to keep the next executive in their prayers.
Sixty years later, the "gal" from the yellowed pages of those newsletters is turning 90. This is her last term in office. The city she built will soon be for others to look after.
McCallion, always a good Christian, will probably be praying for them.
