A slow burner, but worth it.,
This review is from: Mistaken (Hardcover)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme (What's this?)
Mistaken started slowly and, for the first hundred pages or so, I wondered if I was going to like it. I'm glad I persevered because I did. Mistaken is no thrilling page turner, but rather a slow burning portrait of Dublin in the sixties through the eyes of a child that grew up there. As such, the characters and descriptions of Dublin are well done and very evocative.
It is an interesting tale of two children, Kevin and Gerald, often mistaken for each other, that grow up on opposite sides of the tracks. The story is being told by Kevin, to the daughter of the other whom he meets at Gerald's funeral. This leads to some interesting prose, some of which I found confusing, especially in some of the long dialogue where I tended to lose track of who was saying what. Maybe that's just me.
Once I'd got past the initial chapters, I found the book hard to put down as I got more involved in Kevin's life, his relationship with Gerald, his own father and Gerald's daughter. The turning point in the story was quite a shock and I finished the book wondering where it would go from there.
I'm glad I read it.

Central Region Doubles Bracket
The Minnesota women's tennis team picked up play at the USTA/ITA Central Region Championships in Norman, Okla. Friday with doubles play. After Julia Courter and Jessika Mozia joined Gopher teammates Tereza Brichacova and Natallia Pintusuava in the main draw of singles competition with two wins apiece Thursday, inclement weather caused the postponement of singles play. Doubles were played instead.
Minnesota began the day with four doubles tandems in the 64-team field and finished with a record of 3-4.
Mozia and Brichacova went the furthest of any Gopher duo, reaching the Round of 16 with two wins on the day. The pair defeated Krizia Buck and Bianca Struklj of Central Arkansas 8-1 before edging Missouri's Alex Clark and Madison Rhyner 8-7 (3). Their run ended in the third round when they fell 8-5 to Abby Stevens and Julia Schiller of Wichita State.
Maja Vujic and Yuliana Umanets were the only other tandem from Minnesota to advance, topping WSU's Summer Schlotterback and Whitley Quan 8-5 in the first round.
Kendall Heitzner and Paula Rincon Otero and Courter and Pintusava both fell in their first match. Courter and Pintusava were seeded seventh entering the tournament.
The Gophers have now completed doubles play and their four remaining singles competitors will resume play Saturday.

LifeSite News: Coming only a few days after Easter, the resignation of Father Gerhard Swierzek, the pastor of a parish in the Archdiocese of Vienna, has been hailed by homosexualist activists in the Catholic Church as a victory. Fr. Swierzek had refused to allow an active homosexual, Florian Stangl, who is living in a legal registered partnership with another man, to sit on the parish council in the town of Stützenhofen.

Has Thomas supplanted Randle El?
Aug 4, 2009, 5:07 AM EDT
Less than a week into camp it appears that a starting job for the Washington Redskins has changed hands.
Per Jason Reid at the WaPo, Devin Thomas has the inside track to start at wide receiver opposite Santana Moss. Thomas had his shot this track from the get-go. When the offense lined up for its first snap of 11-on-11 drills on Thursday it was Moss wide left, Thomas wide right and Antwaan Randle El in the slot.
The Redskins have been trying to replace Randle El as the starter almost from the moment they got him as a free agent in 2006. They signed Brandon Lloyd the same year and envisioned him playing the role as the regular starter while Randle El ran gadget plays, returned punts, and played in the slot. The fact that Lloyd lost whatever ability made the Skins want to give up two draft picks and $10 million guaranteed to pry him away from San Francisco make them abandon this plan.
Last year the plan was for Thomas and/or Malcolm Kelly to supplant Randle El but both of them got off to a slow start and neither could even get time as the third wide receiver.
This time, however, it looks like Randle El has met his match. Per Reid, Thomas has drawn praise around the organization for his work ethic he has displayed in both his physical and mental preparation.
It remains to be seen if Kelly will be able to push Randle El further down the depth chart. Kelly has had a good camp so far. What Jim Zorn likes about him is that he catches with his hands and that, combined with his long arms, gives the quarterback a huge target when throwing in his direction. His practice time is somewhat limited by the microfracture surgery he had on his knee during the offseason so it may not be a good idea to count on him too much just yet.
But it's clear that Randle El is being phased out. It's unlikely that he'll be going much of anywhere since, according to my friend PC in Oz's salary cap chart, he is signed through 2016 and he has a lot of unallocated money on the books. But the player who currently has the 11th-highest cap number in 2009 may end up playing a marginal role on the team.

Newegg Flash has the FinePix S9150 refurbished at a really good price right now. Best I can tell is that it appears to be about the same as the S9200 (I can only find the S9150 sold at Walmart). So I'm going with that idea that the models are similar/same for the purpose of evaluating buying the S9150. I have a Coolpix S8100 I bought several years ago, and the price is right on the S9150. I'd love to upgrade to a more feature rich camera with better zoom and, hopefully, with a bit better...

The Nikon Coolpix s8100 which I use I love for its speed. Reviewers have often remarked that it has 'dslr like speed' in terms of focus lock, capture, and shot to shot time. Does anyone know if Nikon has a current Coolpix model that matches the speed of the s8100? If so, please tell me what model that is. I do street and candid photography where a fast, small camera is necessary. Thank you.

Hi! I have two Nikon CoolPix S8100 cameras - I've managed to scratch the glass lens on both as the hooded lens cover closes with a spec of clay garden soil on it. I really like this camera but am reluctant to buy the new version for fear of this happening again. Does anyone know a solution. Are there any comparable cameras that don't have a "hooded" lens? Thanks, dcarey Ligonier, Pa.

Hello,I have been using my S8100 for a couple years and have been very happy with it. There are a couple issues that I am wondering if anyone can help me with. 1) pictures not in focus. I have trouble sometimes getting pictures to be in focus. It is as if the camera focuses and then loses the focus soon after. I often take 3 or 4 pics of the same object, hoping to get one good picture. It is difficult, esp. if I am in the picture and I have someone else clicking for me. 2) lighting...

Greens demand audit over corporate gifts
Relevant offers
Fresh details have emerged of Treasury staff taking corporate gifts, like tickets to the Top Gear show, with the Green Party now calling on the State Services commissioner to step in.
Yesterday, the Treasury's register of corporate gifts and hospitality back to July last year was released.
Further details back to February 2007 have today emerged.
Matthew Collin, the debt office portfolio manager who emerged yesterday as the recipient of 36 freebies in 46 weeks, is revealed in the latest documents as having taken tickets to the Top Gear television show from CBA and to the cricket from ANZ Bank.
Collin and assistant portfolio manager Briar Fergusson both went to the boxing courtesy of Westpac.
Westpac also entertained five staff from the debt management office at the 2008 Wellington Sevens.
"There is just no end to it. It just goes on and on and on. Clearly, this is a long-standing practice, particularly around the debt office,'' Greens co-leader Russel Norman said.
Treasury Secretary Gabriel Makhlouf has announced a review of the policy for accepting corporate freebies but he has not been available for an interview.
Norman called for an audit of the debt office to prove business decisions were not influenced by the freebies.
He has today written to State Services commissioner Iain Rennie asking for a public sector-wide ruling on what is acceptable.
"At the end of the day, the SSC are the arbiters of the gifting policy for all public servants, including Treasury, so they need to make a ruling for the entire public sector about whether this kind of level of gifting is acceptable in the public sector,'' Norman said.
"What this shows is that it is a very long-standing practice and it goes back to at least 2007. There is pages of the debt management office receiving gifts.''
Rennie yesterday said he had spoken with Makhlouf about the issue and that he was ``satisfied'' the he was managing the matter appropriately.
Golf games, movie premieres and vouchers for the capital's top department store were accepted as corporate gifts by Treasury staff, sparking a review of the rules by the new head of the department.
The Treasury has, for the first time, issued a register of corporate hospitality and gifts accepted by staff between July last year and the end of last month.
It reveals that the 24 staff at the Debt Management Office (DMO) have accepted 165 corporate freebies in 11 months.
One staffer, portfolio manager Matthew Collin, took 36 gifts in 46 weeks, including rugby and racing tickets, a movie premiere, golf, rugby league, Toast Martinborough tickets and several meals.
DMO head Phil Combes took 29 gifts, including dinners and lunches on big banks as far afield as London and Tokyo, and he even went to a pantomime courtesy of the BNZ late last year.
"The NZDMO are going to golf, they're getting theatre tickets, they're getting movie tickets, they're getting endless lunches and endless dinners and other corporate hospitality," Green Party co-leader Russel Norman said.
"They clearly have a conflict of interest in accepting corporate hospitality from the banks because the banks have a completely opposite interest than the taxpayers in this."
Dr Norman called yesterday for an audit of the DMO to demonstrate that business decisions staff made were not influenced by freebies.
Prime Minister John Key and Finance Minister Bill English were both overseas and unavailable to comment and no other minister was prepared to front on the issue.
However, newly appointed Treasury Secretary Gabriel Makhlouf – himself a frequent name on the register – has announced a review of policy.
"The Treasury expects all its staff to maintain the highest standard of probity at all times and to judge all offers of gifts and hospitality against the policy, which the new secretary has decided to review," a spokeswoman said.
Mr Makhlouf had also decided to periodically publish an updated register on the Treasury's website to "further promote increased transparency and accountability".
The main donors of freebies were the Australasian banks Westpac (43) and ANZ (34). Barclays Capital (17) and Deutsche Bank (16) were also generous with dinners and lunches. PricewaterhouseCoopers gave Treasury deputy secretary Andrew Kibblewhite tickets to the WearableArt Awards.
A spokeswoman for PwC said: "From time to time our partners and staff liaise with business contacts on a social basis to discuss issues of mutual interest, and we do not consider this to be either unusual or inappropriate."
BNZ said it gave corporate hospitality to "a range of different stakeholder groups without bias or expectation".
Other unusual gifts handed out included concert tickets from Greenstone Energy for Dasha Leonova, an economic adviser in Mr English's office. Mr Kibblewhite was also given tickets to the Royal New Zealand Ballet's Carmen by Meridian Energy, a state-owned enterprise.
And its then communications manager Mike Munro got a voucher to spend at Kirkcaldie & Stains from the Wellington branch of the International Association of Business Communications.
Overall, more than 45 companies, both international and domestic, gave gifts, including more than 17 tickets to rugby games, and tickets to the rugby league and Wellington Phoenix football.
"How do you meet with somebody when you're watching a movie that they've paid for? I don't imagine there is a lot of meeting that happens when you're watching a movie," Dr Norman said.
The Treasury said hospitality was received more regularly by teams who had to keep "ongoing market networks" as a "core component" of their work.
The register required any gift, benefit or hospitality worth more than $50 to be recorded. Where an employee was offered a gift worth more than $100 "which might be seen to compromise their impartiality or integrity, the matter must be reported to the employee's manager or the chief executive, who will make a decision on whether to accept and/or how to dispose of the gift".
State Services Commissioner Iain Rennie, who has pushed for more transparency in the public sector, said he was satisfied Treasury was managing the issue properly.

LJWorld.com weblogs Meatless Mondays
Meatless Monday recipe of the week: Asparagus and Broccoli Soup
All hail asparagus season! These little green/purple/white monsters are loaded with all sorts of goodies like vitamin A, vitamin C, iron and fiber and plenty of springtime taste.
The best asparagus is most definitely local asparagus, and with the Lawrence Farmers' Market back in season, now is most surely the time to try out a new recipe or two that highlights the special flavor and properties of asparagus.
This soup might be the perfect vehicle those who'd like to try something new with their stalks. It utilizes not only asparagus, but yummy Yukon Gold potatoes, broccoli and another spring specialty — leeks.
Asparagus and Broccoli Soup
6 1/2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth, divided
1 large leek, white and light green parts only, sliced
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound), trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups coarsely chopped broccoli florets
2 tablespoons chopped chives
Heat 1/2 cup broth in a large pot over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, add leek and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 6 minutes. Add remaining broth and potatoes and bring to a boil. Stir in asparagus and broccoli and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently until vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and set aside to let cool slightly.
Carefully transfer soup to a blender and purée in batches until smooth. Ladle soup into bowls, garnish with chives and serve.

*It was 20 years ago today when LA Lakers superstar guard Ervin "Magic" Johnson announced to the world that he was HIV positive.
Along with everyone else, Bob Costas, the TV sports commentator and play-by-play man remembers being rocked by the news that the magic man was had AIDS.
"I was stunned," Costas said, "and my immediate thought was, knowing what we thought we knew about HIV, we would watch Magic Johnson die a public death, that he would waste away. This was what we thought we understood about the virus, that his days were numbered."
Now the number of days Johnson has ahead of him seems limitless when the strong, healthy-looking basketball great, onetime coach, voluble television commentator and successful businessman puts on his smile and optimism and shakes your hand.
Chris Mullin, who played with Johnson on the 1992 U.S. Olympic basketball team, said that when he sees Johnson anywhere, his own big hand disappears into Johnson's bigger hands. "It makes you remember," Mullin said, "just how strong he is."
How strong he is. Not was.

New \"FC\" FC Blue River I\'m Dan\'s Boy - English Springer Spaniel Hunting Dog Pictures
Breed: English Springer Spaniel
From: Ken Hanson
Website: http://www.bluerivergundogs.com/Home_Page.html
Posted: Nov 05, 2013
After many hours of hard work, it finally paid off. Introducing FC Blue River I\'m Dan\'s Boy, AKA \"Odie\"
Odie received his final point this fall in IL, at the Sportsman\'s Spaniel Club in a 40 dog stake. Adding to his certificate of merit at the 2011 National Open Championship. He now has 24 AKC all age points, and is close to his AKC AFC title to go along with his now open all age \"Field Champion\" title. Even better yet is, he is a much better hunting dog. This dog has been through several surgery\'s for various hunting accidents, and crashes in trials because of his powerful run and drive. The big red dog has overcome loads of adversity, and would not be denied. He can now be found in a cattail slough near you. Very proud of him, and thanks goes out to, Ken Willis, Randy Manore, the Heartland club, Nth MN club, Katie G and everyone in our training group for your help. And also Dan Langhans for helping me find this treasure, I call \"Odie\". Simply put, just a darn good gun dog. Smiling big! :)

Yes, as intrigued as I am at the possibility of contact from space aliens, I think he's right. If intelligent beings do exist elsewhere; I'm nowhere near his degree of probability on that; we don't know what they might do. For all we know, they could kill us, enslave us or harm us in some way. Yes, they might also help us; they could share their technology and share their knowledge about the universe; but that's a chance I don't think we should take. As far as I'm concerned, we should try to go as unnoticed as we can.

What have you done online today - checked LinkedIn? Facebook? Twitter? Opened and sent business emails? Used business apps? Every business employee also has a private life - and it's becoming increasingly difficult to keep the two separate. Rather than ignoring the growing role of social media in your customers' and employees' lives, many businesses are starting to take advantage of it. One way to do this is through social login.
Social login is a way to use social network credentials to create accounts on other sites or applications. From a business perspective, you may decide to offer social login to your customers. For this discussion, we'll call this the business-to-customer or B2C use case. There are also good reasons for offering employees the ability to access business applications using a social login. We'll call this the business-to-employee or B2E use case. Your employees are also consumers with social media accounts, and social login lets them use one set of credentials for multiple purposes.
Social login in a nutshell
Social login is a growing trend. While Facebook is the most popular social login identity provider (through Facebook Connect), others like Twitter, Google/Google Plus and Yahoo also offer social logins. See the research from Gigya on the fierce competition for social identity providers. It's popular because it solves a common problem - creating and remembering accounts and passwords for all of the various websites and applications we use.
You have most likely encountered social login when opening a new account on a website, if you are given an option of signing in with an existing social network account:
If you choose to login with your existing social network account, then you've opted in to social login. That decision has ramifications that you might not expect. Social networks are a mother lode of personal information - you may be sharing more than you realize.
Before you implement social login for your business' customers or employees, or choose to use it yourself, you should have an understanding of what's happening behind the scenes.
The social login: What happens behind the scenes
If your business wants to offer social login for customers on your website, you first need to choose which networks to link. Social login middleware or aggregators like Gigya and Janrain make it easy to offer social login through multiple social networks.
When a new user chooses the option of registering on a site with their social media credentials, they also grant permission to link your site with their account. You gain API-level access to personal data and contacts from the social network. The overall process is illustrated below:
Photo credit: Facebook
The process of granting permissions to your profile information is an "all or nothing" decision forced on you by the website you are trying to access. Without permission, the registration is canceled and the user must then create a new account directly with your website. But if the user grants permission, the social media account is linked to the website that you just registered at. Your website can now retrieve existing or new profile information without the user's future consent. The linked website can also post information to your social network. Of course, you must use care if you want to retain the customer.
From a business perspective, offering social login has many benefits:
- Social login makes it easy for new customers or consumers on your website to create accounts - reducing friction and potentially increasing sign-ups. Beyond the initial sign-up, research by Janrain shows that many people are more likely to return to a site that welcomes them with social login, while they will abandon sites for which they have forgotten their passwords.
- Consumer identity can be instantly verified; you have to use a real e-mail address to have ongoing use of your social media account. This verification dramatically reduces the number of bogus account registrations of people trying to remain anonymous and entering false information at account creation time.
- The social networks provide a rich source of demographic and behavioral data about your customers that they may not want to provide if they were filling out forms during registration.
However, there are also risk factors. Because the social media identity provider maintains data about the customer and manages their credentials, any problem with their credentials affects their ability to connect to your site as well. Alexandra Samuel posted about an experience of being shut out of multiple sites over the Thanksgiving weekend online shopping time because of a problem with her Facebook login on the HBR blog.
Social login and your employees
When it comes to your employees, the decision to use social login involves a different thought process.
The B2E use case has security and compliance implications. Identity and profile information shared from social networks creates additional points of attack for hacking into business accounts through social engineering or spear-phishing attacks. Social login gives criminals more avenues into personal information and logins, especially if employees are in the habit of using weak passwords or reusing passwords across multiple sites
For example, a hacker who discovers that one of your employees is an avid stamp collector and that they work at XYZ Company. They could send them an invitation to create an account on a stamp collecting website. If the employee uses the same login for stamp collecting as other apps, the attacker is in and knows what company to target.
Depending on what your employees share on Facebook, a site using Facebook Connect has access to personal identity information, including: birth date, photos, email address, employer, address, and interests.
With social login, your own business accounts are only as secure as the employee's social media account. And your business has no visibility or control into how employees create and manage passwords for their personal accounts, or whether they share passwords between personal and work accounts.
For these reasons, you don't want to establish a direct link between the social media accounts and your business applications. However, social login can be useful for your employees, as it reduces the number of passwords they have to track. There are ways to mitigate the risks of offering employees social login to business applications.
Making social login work for B2E
One essential difference with employee logins is that you already know the information you need about the employee's identity and job role. You don't need profile information from the social network. The social login can simply provide the login credential.
To reduce the risks of social login, create a 'firewall' between the social network and your business applications, so business applications are never linked to your employee's social network accounts. Use the social login as a login credential for business applications, but require additional authentication for those applications. Used in this way, your business maintains its role as the authority or curator of employee identities and business application access at all times.
An identity and Access Management (IAM) or Single Sign-on (SSO) solution can act as this firewall between the social network and your applications. Because social media credentials are created outside of the business, you cannot trust them alone to grant access to sensitive business applications. The IAM solution can require additional authentication factors before authenticating an employee as a trusted user with the authority to access business applications.
In this configuration, your applications themselves do not directly interact with the social networks. The process workflow is illustrated below:
Your business retains full control over all business application logins through the IAM or SSO solution. No personal data is exchanged between business applications and social media networks. If someone leaves the company, you can instantly remove access to those applications with their social media account by shutting off access in the IAM or SSO. This does not, however, affect the employee's ability to access their personal social media account. If someone manages to steal the employee's social login credentials, two-factor authentication means that the identity thief is shut out of your business applications.
Since social login is only one method that an employee could use to login to business apps, a problem with the employee's social credentials does not shut them out of their business applications if they can authenticate directly with the IAM.
This approach is feasible even for small companies without existing investments in IAM solutions. A simple web-based single sign-on (SSO) solution with strong authentication capabilities can fill the role of social login secure bridge quickly and securely, offering employees the instant benefit of simpler logins and secure password management, while giving businesses the control and visibility needed for good governance and compliance.
Is it time to get social?
Businesses should look carefully at the potential benefits of social login. Using native social login on consumer-facing applications (your B2C websites) has many benefits: delegating the hard work of verifying identities, providing you with rich profile information, and reducing friction in the customer sign-up process.
In a business-to-employee context, social login can reduce the number of accounts and passwords employees have to remember. But never allow social media accounts to link directly to your business application - always use a secure intermediary IAM or SSO solution to control application access and manage additional authentication factors for sensitive business applications.
In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

We had a blast. Good job.
We had a great time hiking and kayaking. Very relaxing and at our own pace. Two thumbs up!!
This is an extremely casual trip. i expected the waterfall at the end of the hike to really be something special but it was not really a waterfall at all it was a stream rolling over a few higher rocks, certainly not what one thinks of when you think of a waterfall or see them in the pictures of others on Kauai. Lunch was a C-. The guide was a pretty cool, fun kid and very knowledgeable. But overall the trip was just "OK" and definitely over-priced
Definitely not a 'water fall'. More like a stream.

Canon S120 Low Light Concert PIC's
Feb 15, 2014
These PIC's were taken with my Canon S120 in low light at a concert - both using the cameras zoom and then further cropped in iPhoto. I'm new to the S120 but am finding its results for my use to be excellent.
I think I could have done even better maybe by increasing the ISO to 1600 on the second shot. The image stabilization on the S120 seems very good - I get very consistent no blur photos even at relatively slow shutter speeds. The first picture was taken in burst auto-focus mode.

I bought a 3ft Vivexotic tank from you, it was simple to order, pay and was quickly delivered to my home address.
The value for money is excellent and the reliabilty and delivery perfect. Not to mention it was very generously priced. Cant thank you enough!
My royal python loves her new home. It came very well packed which protectd the wood. It had lovely clear instructions and all bolts (unlike some places that you have to go and find your own bits).
Im reccomending you on reptile forums for people who advertise they need reptile products.
Thanks so much will definatly use you again.
