I am laughing my behind off!
I would add the following:
[1] The press statement regarding the so-called 15 K Gujarati Bhais and Bens rescued by Modi is the handiwork of a discredited PR agency based in the US of A! Modi needs his head examined for hiring such stupid schmucks. Even if he had actually rescued only Gujjus ... Modi ought to have owned up and asked all and sundry: "I rescued people of Gujarat who elected me. At least I have done my part to my people. The money came from the Gujarat exchequer and I can justify the expenses. So, do not preach about rescuing all the people stuck in Uttarakhand. Make me the PM and then I would show two things ... some disaster like Uttarakhand will never happen and if it ever does ... all the guys and the gals will be rescued in a jiffy ... as the reports seem to suggest."
[2] The magic figure of 15K rescued persons is totally wrong because it would be impossible to do something like that ... even if all the choppers in the IAF were to be used!
[3] And finally, Modi does not need a villain from Pakistan or China. What are the Advanis for then?

Phorget Ramob, Dumbo, Scambo, Phembo, I have decided to exhort 24/7 Ram, Rahim, Jesus, Mahavir, Buddha, Zoroaster, Guru Nanak, HaShem, Biame, Zeus, Breged - forgive me if any other faith's God is not mentioned but they are all included ( least this Gujju boy is continually villified as a communal bigot ) - out there somewhere in Extraterrestrial wonderland, to anoint our own Shobha Ben the PM of Bharat. Our adorable Lady is sure to turn this non-wondorous land of ours, wholesome, into an upper classed one of pure bliss and utopia, well away from that 'low caste' 'lower class' much despised ( you know it is both the caste and class thing for India's , ugly, insensate ruling class Macaulaties ) Modi's vision for Bharat Mata. Roll on Shobha de, India's next PM!

Hi Shobhaa,this one 'Rambo.... really disappoints.You've merely repeated in a new narrative style what you've often expressed before.No saving grace.Neither humour nor critique of any worth.
So much of critical negativity appears nauseous.

Average Customer Rating: (9 Reviews) Write Review
Reviewer: A viewer from BELLE, MO USA
These are great for keeping your tying bench organized. I use them for bead heads one for each size bead then each compartment for different colors. The same for bead chain. I also use one to put my goose biots in when I precut them. Great quality I have open and closed them several times and no signs of breaking or lids getting loose.
Nice boxes
Reviewer: A viewer from Grand Rapids, MI US
These are very nice boxes and I really like the individual caps. I keep hooks in them and some glo bug eggs. The picture does make them seem bigger. I thought I was getting something a little bigger but they work fine and I'm glad I got them.
Great Storage
Reviewer: A viewer from Missoula, MT US
These little guys are great and have the right price tag. Whether you use them for hooks, beads, eyes or anything else that's small and needs compartmentalization, I would definitely recommend them. The individual compartments have their own cap/latch, so there's no risk of dumping everything out if the worst happened. Each compartment could probably hold around 400 size 14 hooks. They are easily labeled and keep everything nice and tidy. I inadvertently dropped one of these, filled with tungsten beads, from about 3 feet...not a single hatch opened! (Cheap plastic for the win!) I just wish they had larger ones (12/24 compartment) because I would have them in a heartbeat.

ZF-3563: Zend_Form_Element_Multi, when validating, do not confirm that the value is a valid selection
It seems that the Zend_Form_Element_Multi can validate even though the data presented by the user does not match a valid option.
Example case: Create a form with a select box, such as "Title" with the options "Mr" and "Mrs". If a user POSTs results that contain "foo", it will still validate. While there are cases where you may wish to skip this kind of check, it strikes me as a serious hole in the validation strategy, specifically from a security standpoint.
I'm very much a newbie to Zend_Form, but I've attached a patch that seems to fix the problem for single and multi-selects.
In retrospect, this might be better solved in some cases with an automatic addition of the InArray filter (Zend_Validate_InArray)... I'm not sure how best to fix this issue, if it it should be fixed.
I guess the main point is that this is somewhere that there was a breakdown between developer assumptions of how Zend_Form's validation worked versus it's actual effects, and the proper action might be a documentation change instead.
I'm going to agree that an InArray validator should be added by default, and am scheduling for 1.6.
Closed with ZF-3286
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Rated 4 out of 5 by thegreatzaza Triple Espresso Italiano - vroom! vroom! Now I just need a cute little Vespa and a long scarf! I purchased this brand as it was on sale and I tend to prefer Italian wines, coffee, etc. so I wanted to give it a try because it's a medium roast espresso instead of a dark roast. The sale price made it a good value. Lavazza Caffe Espresso makes a wonderful triple espresso, latte, and capuccino to rev me up in the morning. I also really am enjoying flavoring my capuccinos with World Market Mexicocoa Drinking Chocolate mix - yum! A co-worker taught me that one! January 16, 2014

Health care cap update
Senate Bill 007, recently passed by the House and Senate, is headed to the Governor to be signed into law. This bill would create the "Publicly Funded Health Insurance Contribution Act." Beginning January 1, 2012 the bill would establish a maximum cap on payments that a public employer would be allowed to pay on annual premiums, reimbursements of co-pays, deductibles or payments into health savings accounts or similar accounts used for employee health care. The total payments allowable would be set at $5,500 for a single individual, $11,000 for an individual and spouse and $15,000 for family coverage. Beginning in 2012, the maximum payments permitted under this legislation are to be re-examined and adjusted annually by the State Treasurer no later than October 1 of each year.
Some public employers, excluding the state, could opt out of this hard cap plan by a majority vote of its governing body. In which case, the employer would be required to participate in the 80/20 plan, meaning they could pay no more than 80% of the total annual costs of all the medical benefit plans they offer to employees and elected officials. The public employer would be allowed to allocate the employee share of medical benefit plan costs among its employees as it saw fit.

Get out your checkbooks, Milton.
Plans were unveiled this week for a new $2.3 million CHEER Activity Center on Del. Route 16 in Milton. However, the organization, which operates seven centers in Sussex County that provide activities and nutrition for residents over the age of 50, needs community contributions to build the new facility.
CHEER Executive Director Arlene Littleton said the capital campaign goal is $1 million, to be combined with grants from the Longwood Foundation, the Delaware Community Foundation, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"We're doing everything we can in a bad economy and we hope [the community] will help us," Littleton said, adding the group began fundraising this week and has already collected about $6,000.
CHEER is currently utilizing a facility on Reynolds Road in Milton, which they share with a local youth group, limiting the organization's ability to hold activities at certain times. The smaller size of the building and its lack of a commercial kitchen are also problematic.
"This center was never meant to be permanent," Littleton said, adding the new facility's kitchen will allow CHEER to deliver food to more homebound seniors. "The Milton area is one of our highest homebound meal (delivery) locations. We have almost 100 meals delivered out of this center every day."
As it stands, food is prepared in Georgetown and driven to Milton.
Longneck resident Naomi Morrison said she and her mother, Esther Mitchell of Milton, love the CHEER center, but agree that a new facility is needed.
"This is just too small," Morrison said. "You can't really have events here. A larger space would be much more comfortable for us."
The new activity center will be built on 4.35 acres of land, located less than a mile from the existing facility. The 6,000 square-foot building will feature meeting and activity rooms, a fitness center, a banquet hall, a commercial kitchen, and office spaces. Littleton said CHEER expects to break ground in May or June. Actual construction will begin in March 2014 and will hopefully wrap up before the end of the year, she added.
CHEER Development Director David Tidwell said although the campaign's timing is not economically ideal, he's confident the group will achieve its $1 million goal.
"Checks won't be as large and they won't be as plentiful," Tidwell said. "[But] this center really needs to be upgraded, and I think there's a lot of enthusiasm in the community for it. I think we'll do well."

In 1997, the Golf Coaches Association of America came up with an idea to have a Ryder Cup of their own. The coaches wanted to name the event after one of the greatest golfers of all time, so they approached Arnold Palmer. Eventually the event would be named the Palmer Cup. The Palmer Cup is a collegiate event where the United States and Great Britain/Ireland compete in match play. On the American side, the coach of the year and assistant coach of the year earn the right to be the coaches of the Palmer Cup. In 2012, Arizona head coach Jim Anderson was named assistant coach of the year, as he served as an assistant coach at Texas A&M.
"It was one of the neatest experiences I've ever been a part of," Anderson said. "Having a chance to work with coach Jay Seawell (Alabama head coach), and be around college golf's best players was really neat."
The event was held in Wilmington, Del. at Wilmington Country Club, a par-71, 7,334-yard course. Three of the players on the American side competed in the Pac-12 during the regular season, including California's Michael Kim and Michael Weaver and Stanford's Patrick Rodgers. The United States earned the victory over Europe this year with a score of 20.5-9.5.
"It was really satisfying to get the victory," Anderson said. "The play on both sides was phenomenal and as far as coaching goes, we just tried to get the players to have a common bond. I think we really connected and went out and played for each other that week. Those guys wanted it badly and were playing for something bigger than themselves."
For Anderson, this is just the beginning of what he wants to accomplish in his coaching career.
"I would love to be the first coach to be assistant coach and the head captain for the Palmer Cup," Anderson said. "It's something that I want to be a part of in the future."
Not only does Anderson have personal Palmer Cup aspirations, but would like to get the whole Arizona men's golf program involved. Through his experience, Anderson has learned a lot.
"I learned that there are different ways of doing things," Anderson said. "We can certainly apply that to improve our strategies and things that we are working on in a given week. A lot of times, when you're playing your best golf, that is when you're having the most fun. There is a fine line, so you want to make sure that there is a focus level."
Regardless of what happens in the future, Anderson sees his experience as an honor.
"It was a terrific honor," Anderson said. "Having a golf bag with USA on it and a shirt with the American flag on it is pretty special. It's just hard to explain. I was left speechless at times because of the camaraderie and the competition. It was really one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever been a part of."

ALCS Predictions: The New Postseason Kings
How quickly have we forgotten 2004 and 2007? After watching the media coverage of the ALCS that begins on Friday night in Tampa Bay, there has been almost an overwhelming consensus that the upstart Rays will dethrone the defending-champion Red Sox and reach the first World Series in franchise history (of course, every Ray victory has some sort of historical significance these days!). Not so fast, people…
Let's look at this series a game at a time. The series opens in Tropicana Field, where the Rays have been nearly a completely different than they are at home, but who really thinks the Rays will win both of those first two home games against the playoff-savvy Sox? Game 1 pits Daisuke Matsuzaka (18-3, 2.90) against James Shields (14-8, 3.56), while Game 2 is Josh Beckett (12-10, 4.03) vs. Scott Kazmir (12-8, 3.49). I'd actually favor the Sox in both games, but let's say (for home-field advantage sake) that the series is even when it moves back into Fenway.
This is where things are sure to get interesting, as it is the classic case of "postseason aura" (which the Red Sox have finally wrestled away from the Yankees) vs. "young team that isn't intimidated" (the Rays have never experienced this situation before, so how can they be too overwhelmed?). In that scenario, however, I will take the most experienced team any day of the week. Although the pitching matchups in Game Three, Jon Lester (16-6, 3.21) vs. Matt Garza (11-9, 3.70), and Game Four, Tim Wakefield (10-11, 4.13) vs. Andy Sonnanstine (13-9, 4.38), perhaps swing a little bit toward the Rays (at least compared to the first two games), I'll still take the experienced hurlers over the green ones. Even if the series is 2-2 after four games, the pitching matchups will be who has the best bullpen, and what starters can come back effectively on short rest. All four Sox starters are battle-tested, while all the Rays are first-timers. As a Twins fan, I would not feel too confident on a guy like Matt Garza coming back in a game seven facing, say, Tim Wakefield.
Offensively both clubs can score runs. In fact, I think the only way Tampa Bay can win this series is if they completely outscore the BoSox, and by a large margin at that. However, the Boston lineup has developed a habit of producing in the clutch, with guys like David Ortiz, J.D. Drew, Jason Bay, Jason Varitek, Mike Lowell, and some guy you would never expect (Jedd Lowrie?!) providing the back-breaking hits to the opposition. I thought that the departure of Manny Ramirez would really hurt Boston come postseason time, but Manny's replacement, Jason Bay, has performed admirably after escaping Pittsburgh.
My "official" prediction, then, is for Boston to defeat Tampa Bay in six games. The Rays have had a great ride, but I think that the playoff experience of nearly every Boston player will be too much for the scrappy Rays to overcome. However, I would expect to see many close, hard-fought games. Whereas the Yankees of old developed their "mystic and aura" in the playoffs by crushing opponents, the Red Sox have won in the playoffs by getting the late-inning clutch hits.

Mayor Williams Encourages Citizens to Get Flu Vaccinations
Posted on 01/10/2013 4:17 pm
Contact: Alexandra Coppadge
(302) 740-0675
Mayor Dennis Williams strongly encourages citizens to receive flu vaccinations, as 41 states have recently reported widespread outbreaks of the flu virus
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this year's flu season is expected to be one of the worst the country has experienced in a decade. The deaths of at least 18 children have been attributed to this season's flu virus thus far.
Mayor Williams suggests visiting your physician or local pharmacy to receive information about how prevent the flu.
Please review these easy flu prevention and/or treatment methods:
- Be sure to get you and your family vaccinated. Vaccinations are available to anyone 6 months of age or older from your family doctor or local pharmacy.
- Doctor prescribed antiviral drugs can be 70-90% effective at preventing the flu – for adults and children 1 year and older.
- Vigorously washing your hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth – germs are spread that way.
- Avoid close contact with sick people.
- Get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly.
- Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze.
- If you do experience flu-like symptoms, stay home until your symptoms subside.
- Remain home for 24 hours after your fever has subsided.

Goldilocks Capone and the Three Amigos is the new phenomena that the Desert Star Playhouse is currently performing from June 16 to Aug. 6. The play is the encounter of a favorite bedtime story meeting a classic Hollywood comedy. Although a seemingly strange union at first, a few of the lines left me smiling even after the performance came to a close.
The story of Goldilocks Capone and the Three Amigos begins with three actors, the amigos, who are looking for additional acting gigs. They soon come in contact with a Mexican family, the del Tacos, who ask them for help from the infamous Goldilocks Capone. Thinking they are being asked to put on a play, they eagerly agree, but are brought to the grave reality of their situation when they are shot at with real bullets by Goldilocks and her two sidekicks.
Fairytale character Goldilocks has grown up to become an antagonist, but still frequently lapses into her girlish childhood tendencies. She repeatedly taunted the crowd using common jibes you would hear at a playground. It was strange, and needless to say, a little creepy. However, despite a few awkward lines, Goldilocks, played by Mary Parker Williams, has real talent for entertaining and commanding attention.
Above all, the actors at Desert Star must be commended for their excellent improv. During the performance, a waitress dropped a laden tray of cups which drowned out the actors' voices. Grandma del Taco (who was one of my favorite characters of the play, but oddly enough did not make the character list), looked out into the audience and said "Well, that's tragic! Make sure you tip her extra…she's having a hard night.†After that, the audience became part of the show, which made the experience more personable and fun.
Granny del Taco (played by a man) began dancing in the audience to the song "Hot Stuff", and a guy from the audience slipped her a dollar bill for her dancing, in which Granny brightened and said, "All right! I'll take it!†and clambered back on stage.
This play has some funny lines, but you occasionally have to be familiar with some of the areas they are drawing from. Like most of their plays, they throw in a few Utah jokes that only those from Utah or those who have lived here for a good while would understand. So, bring a native Utahn when you see the show. They also draw from multiple movies, especially the Three Amigos, but even if you weren't familiar with the source, it still is fun and quirky.
Goldilocks Capone and the Three Amigos runs until Aug. 6.
The humor is definitely for adults, but the story is easy and fun for young kids to follow, which makes it an excellent opportunity for a family outing. Be ready to leave the play amused—and strangely craving Mexican food.

Drawing you in with the immediacy of her tantalizing wit, Zadie Smith sets herself apart as a defining voice of contemporary literature. Her internationally acclaimed novel boldly and humorously bridges three London families across a cultural and generational divide.
©2000 Zadie Smith; (P)2001 Recorded Books
"The scrambled, heterogeneous sprawl of mixed-race and immigrant family life in gritty London nearly overflows the bounds of this stunning, polymathic debut novel." (Publishers Weekly)
"Complex, thoughtful but fun"
The intertwining of 3 English families at the close of the last millenium is the subject of this novel that is both thoughtful and light-hearted. The lives of Jamaican and Bangladeshi immigrants are recorded along with the inevitable conflicts between these immigrants and their offspring who grow up in England. A real tour de force.
"A really enjoyable book"
This is an intelligent, stylish and enjoyable book superbly performed by a very skilled reader. It couldn't have been better.
"Superb narration"
This was one of the best audio books I've listened to. The narrator was fantastic, doing a variety of different accents really well. The story was interesting and engaging, (although at times it felt like it strayed a little too far from topic and the characters rants became a bit tedious). At times it was laugh out loud hysterical. The language is probably what set this book apart for me -- the dialects, colloquialisms, and plenty of Bengali and English cursing - just funny. But more than that...thought provoking and enlightening -- I felt like I learned a lot about what it feels like to be an immigrant, always a stranger where you live. The author does a terrific job of presenting several differing and relatively extreme viewpoints on God/religion, which I did not expect and enjoyed.
It's quite long, which I also liked - the main story covers about 20 years or so, but there is also a great deal of character history (Bengal, India, Pakistan, Jamaica) included too. It's a fun ride - worth the time.
A great overview of multicultural society. Many voices that can be heard: views of different cultures brilliantly shown to the reader and, even more so, to the listening audience of the audiobook. You actually CAN HEAR those multicultural voices and see their diversity and divergence. I downloaded the book because I thought I should read it, and then, gradually, I have been drawn into it and loved its many voices and viewpoints. It's both poignant and funny, sarcastic and understanding at the same time.
It may be long, but it is really good.
I believe a reviewer should finish a book before submitting a review. What do you think?
"A Really Good Book"
A story of a mouse with man-made tumors and the scientist who made him, twin boys (one who is irresistible to women of all ages), a Bengali family, some Jehovah's witnesses, two lesbians, a few animal rights activists, two veterans of WWII, a failed suicide, lots of recreational drug use, and more. All this in a sometimes funny and poignant story.
The narrator is very good with the various accents and he held my interest throughout.
I truly enjoyed this book and really like this author.
"Beyond Brilliant -Sense of Humor Required"
White Teeth defies description. If you have no sense of humor don't bother. Many spots will cause a giggle and broad smile to cross your face. Then there those that you will undoubtedly laugh out loud. Way fattening if it were edible.
Characters I found to be well developed and lovable. As for a plot, that didn't come clear to me til part three.
All in all this is a unique and addicting novel. Already I know that I'll be listening again, and again. Surely this penning will never grow old.
Now Ms Zadie Smith is there a follow up to White Teeth?
"Quite a listen"
I am so glad I downloaded the audio version of White Teeth because I doubt I would have gotten as much out of (or ever finished) the book. The narration adds a whole new level to the characters.
Yes, this book is long, but come on people, what a mind! Smith has a brilliant way of bringing up modern questions and concerns wrapped up in subtle humor and over the top personalities.
I am an avid listener. I listen between 75-100 hours per month on my iPhone: 60% fiction to 40% non-fiction.
"Disjoint Narrative w/Funny Moments Dusted Throuout"
White teeth is about two families: Jones and the Icbals. The setting is England in the 60-90s. the plot follows the early development of the families and how they morph and change. If it sounds boring -- it is. The first half of the novel can be deleted and no one would miss a thing. I suggest you start right half way through if I haven't dissuaded you. The only, and I mean only thing that this novel has is hilarious moments dusted throughout here and there like pigeon droppings. Smith manages to turn a phase with the best of them. I very much liked those parts.
I am sad to say that I didn't feel connected to any of the main characters although a few background characters were entertaining at times. Even the humor couldn't carry this novel over the goal line. If the first part of of the book could be deleted, then the last fifteen minutes covered so much ground I though I was reading a cliff note of a cliff note.
Who is going to like this novel better that I? My guess is young people (in their twenties) who have an off-beat sense of humor and are into quirky and perhaps a bit of satiric humor. If it weren't for the ha-has, I would have given it a one. Although, I admit Goldfinch was brutally worse coming in at zero stars -- so there is that.
60, Working Class autodidact Slow reader but well read. Audio Books have taken me from 25 books a years to 125 a year and has also allowed me to listen to many books that I would perhaps not have ever read. e'g Don Quixote, Uysses etc.
"It says so much about how we live now."
Yes because its range of character from all corner of our current cultural mix here in the UK throws much light on to the fact we all share the same human condition and just respond to it in different ways.
It deals with many layered multicultural and intragenerational relationships which allows one to see so many thing from so many points of view without ever taking sides and saying this is right and that is wrong.
For just 1 reader she got she got so many accents right. This increased my enjoyment.
Welcome to a world where the old certainties have gone.
"Great reader"
Jenny Sterlin does a wonderful job on this one. Her reading is engaging and does a great job bringing the different characters to life. Nice timing.
"Not Zadie Smith's words...."
This is one of my favourite novels, and this version destroyed it! Although it claims to be unabridged, this is not the case, as in many places it has been Americanized - "Quality Street" was read as "Quality Street candy", words such as windshield, trash were inserted.
These are not the terms used in the novel itself, I was extremely disappointed to find that this 'unabridged' version is very different to what Smith actually wrote. This may seem like a small thing, but use of American English dramatically alters the tone, especially as the novel is meant to reflect contemporary England!
I do not reccomend at all!
"Teeth and Roots"
I did enjoy a less chocolate box presentation of my home country and i instantly found things that i recognized.
The most interesting thing was the fact that both the school and the Chalfen family make huge bounding assumptions about Jones and Iqbal families, assuming that the parenting is poor and unfeeling because of economic status and from ethnic minority groups, but they themselves ignore their own dysfunction.
Embarrassing their children, causing problems between Irie & Millat and their parents, then assuming that the dysfuction can be placed on their ethnic roots. They fail to see this but are geneticists and pride themselves on erudition.
The Narrator, the West Indian accents were butchered, i wish they hadn't been attempted. the South Asian accents were slightly better. All in all it was ok, if a little distracting
"Comfortable listen"
Read the book a few years ago and loved it and have really enjoyed listening to it now. Maybe I found it more interesting listening to it since I was familiar with the story line. I do agree that it isn't a very direct story line but it doesn't have to be. I believe that the book lives off the characters and that the voices given to them in this audiobook make them even more vivid.Personally, I found the different accents well-performed and the voice of the reader really good.
"Immigrant drudgery, dreams, dilemma and Drama..."
It ranks one among top ten. To be honest I have read it in print form ten years ago. I picked it up on a whim despite knowing what was in store. But did I ... the narrator gets a perfect ten from me. Jenny Sterlin , the narrator makes this audio book stand out from its print edition. What a performance ... the audio book brings out the London of the 80's and 90's so vividly in front of you. Each character there is personified so bautifully that i think i know them all so close to my heart. Few books have been narrated so well as this one. A must read ... ah .. sorry .. A must listen .
The story talks about immigrants and their struggle to retain their identity with their past roots while at the same time establish one in the present. It gets even more complex with the second and third generation immigrants who are farthest from their genetic and geographic roots, yet are drawn into the struggle.
Jenny Sterlin .. you rock. Among audio books you are by far one of the best I have heard. It must have been a great effort to bring out the nunaces of all the complex characters and their accents. From Clara to Samad, Hortense to Alsana, Archie to the Chalfens each of them is so different .. yet Jenny Sterlin delivers it so effortlessly by bringing out the subtle nuances in pronounciations and accents.
I think and laughed and cried many times over. Immigrant struggle is close to my heart and having lived in london i can relate to each of these characters like they were my next door neighbours.
White teeth as a book in print version was a well deserved best seller. It's audio version is even better. This book is best relished in its audio version than in the print form.
"A very tedious read! Despite perseverance - awful!"
A more articulate narrator
Less non eventful contributions to the storyline
Not really
A number of them....................
So looking forward to listening to this book - a real disappointment!
"Awful but I had to finish it"
I would change the fact that I ever bought this book
Not written it
No no no no no no no no no no
This book was awful. Dreadful story, awful characters but must have something as I had to listen until the end. ( I really wish I hadn't).This book was set in England and really annoyingly every now and again American words were used. 'Bangs', 'Block', 'Trunk'.
"Its not you Zadie...its me"
A sophisticated Lady perhaps
She was great but I gave up after 3 hours im afraid
not really...so if i'm coming across as a uncultered peasant.
i kept drifting off....losing interest hope you enjoy it though!
"can't believe I finished it!"
I found this book boring, and directionless. Really wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Can't think of anything positive to say about it at all. Weird characters. Reader sounded miserable.
"Not exactly gripping"
I probably shouldn't have chosen this. I sometimes read contemporary fiction, and I thought I'd see how the audio format suited it.
It just wasn't gripping enough. The characters were well painted, but not particularly attractive, and their lives weren't interesting enough for me to care what happened. The pace of the audio format was too slow for the narrative, so I got impatient. The conclusion, which brought some of the earlier plot strands together, I thought was lame.
The reading itself was in an English voice but seemed to be from an American version - 'diaper' for 'nappy', 'trunk' for 'boot' of the car and so on, although the book's setting is London. There are a several accents - Bangladeshi, Jamaican, London - and occasionally I wasn't sure which I was listening to.
It's a very popular book, so I'm content to think I'm the exception rather than the rule. Just not my cup of tea, I'm afraid. I'd better stick to the likes of P.G.Wodehouse and Daphne du Maurier.
A real modern classic. Wonderful characters, story and prose. Jenny Sterlin's performance is superb. If you like Middlemarch I think you'll like this epic saga. It quite funny too.

Not sure if this has been suggested before but since just recently checking out (and loving) this project, I thought it would be really cool if you could either create or edit a Soldier's background. I love the random element and I know that's what your team is going for, but I'm one of those X-Com players that love naming their Soldier's after people they know and getting invested as they take a shot or do something heroic.
So, I think the Soldier backgrounds are a brilliant idea and I love it, I'm just wondering if it would possible to let you "fill in the blanks" so to speak on Soldiers. Especially choosing their nationality would be really cool. The extra/step idea on this would be to "recruit" soldiers and let you pick and choose how you wanted them, superficially of course, not so much stats.

Just came across this interesting article / interview from madlyjuicy.com and thought I'd get your thoughts on Xtatic Line, simply because of the associations with Linkin Park people are making. This is the first I've heard of him really.
Just when Linkin Park announces the release of their new album Living Thing for June 2012, another band is causing a stir on the Rock/Rap scene. Xtatic Line, from the west coast of Florida, gave us details of their new EP RE;Dawn and their views on being dubbed 'the new Linkin Park'.
MadlyJuicy: Details of your new EP RE;Dawn were released only a couple of days ago, what has the reaction been like so far and what can we expect from the EP musically?
Xtatic Line: It's been a crazy past couple of weeks so far. The support shown to the production, not only by the fans but also by the media, has been downright incredible and I'm truly appreciative of that. Well, the new EP consists of five re-imagined versions of tracks that appeared on the demo. The goal was to create and deliver a more energetic and vivid experience and I think I was able to accomplish that with this record. It also serves as a good indication of the direction I'm heading in with future productions. I had a lot of fun working on this project and I truly hope the fans enjoy it as much as I did putting it together.
MJ: You are the Producer and Vocalist. Is there anyone else involved with the Xtatic Line project?
XL: No one else, just me and my laptop. Everything you hear on every Xtatic Line song was composed, recorded and produced by me. I play the guitar and piano so I thought I could pull it off and I think it worked out pretty well.
MJ: Is it nice to be compared to Linkin Park or does it add extra pressure?
XL: It's an honor really. I'm very proud of being mentioned alongside Linkin Park when people talk about Rap/Rock. When it's all said and done, I want Xtatic Line to be remembered as one of the biggest acts that represented the genre. As far as pressure goes, I don't do music to live up to others standards. I don't make music and then go compare it to someone else's work to determine if it's good or not. I don't put that kind of pressure on me because I don't believe in that. So being compared to LP is fine due to the fact that I'm not trying to fill their shoes or live up to their name. I work on what I think would be interesting to try and create, and as long as I keep doing that, I'll feel no exterior pressure.
MJ: Is Mike Shinoda someone you look up to and do you think you two have similar styles lyrically?
XL: Definitely. He was a big inspiration growing up and one of the biggest reasons I got into the production side of things. I don't know if I would say we have similar writing styles due to the fact that Mike and I have gone in different directions over the years. Maybe at some point we had similar styles but I don't think we do at this particular moment.
MJ: Often the 'Nu Metal' tag is slapped on aggressive Rock/Rap bands, do you put yourself in that category or do you see yourself as more experimental with your sound?
XL: I think any type of label is toxic to an artist or creative mind, if they let it define them that is. Of course, musically, you have to somehow categorize yourself and that's fine as long as you don't let it become a cage. I don't really want a tag slapped over Xtatic Line, the project is what it is and will always be a product of how I'm feeling creatively.
MJ: You have over 20, 000 likes on your Facebook page and over 12, 000 followers on Twitter; do you find social media is a good way to connect with your fans?
XL: No doubt, no doubt. It's such a powerful tool nowadays. It's pretty much the reason why Xtatic Line blew up like it did in such a short period of time. I launched and presented the project online and it just spread like wildfire. It was truly unbelievable. It's also because of that interaction with the fans that I'm releasing Re;Dawn. I do listen and look at what people are saying or requesting. I truly value my fans and what they have to say.
MJ: The biggest influence on your life?
XL: My parents. I know that is kind of cliché and perhaps corny to some but it's the honest truth. It's hard not to be influenced by people who have always been there for you regardless of whatever the situation may be and truly love and care for you unconditionally.
MJ: Where do you see Xtatic Line in 10 years?
XL: I hope that by then I would be able to establish Xtatic Line as a household name and had built something special enough to be remembered for a long time.
MJ: Which artists/bands currently on the scene would you love to work with?
XL: Probably Adele. I think she's a breath of fresh air in the industry and she's extremely talented.
MJ: If you could give one piece of advice to any other band trying to break into the music industry what would it be?
XL: Act on your ideas and make them happen. I've met so many peoples who have great ideas but they never get around to making them a reality. If you are passionate about something, take action.

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ballerinagirl Beautiful!! Greyson + Linen Jayda Stunning chairs! I paired 6 driftwood chairs with 2 linen Jayda chairs and they match beautifully. My dining room has a chic yet rustic updated look! Love it! Chairs seem to be comfy. Love the new look they gave my old table :) September 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by gentlearts A little beachy, a little formal... I have been looking for a comfortable chair to use with a round oak table in my kitchen, so I got 4 of these at a great sale price. The driftwood finish lends itself to a casual beachy feel, and the natural linen is a great neutral color. The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is I don't think the light fabric has a stain repelling finish, so I'll probably need to spray them myself. They are no picnic to put together, but the directions are clear, so it just takes patience and a Phillips screwdriver. March 12, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by LMC98 Not a bad chair for price If you're looking for something that's aesthetic but not something you'll hand down to your children this chair will fit the bill. I think it's a good value for the price point - if you can get them on sale. They are very light weight, but much more comfortable than I thought they would be. Not flimsy like I thought they may be. There is a slight arch at the base of the back which supports the back nicely when sitting. The chair back is high - comes up to my head while sitting, but comfortable. The color of the chair is exactly like you see online. They've got a restoration hardware look without the price. I ordered six and will order six more when I see them on sale. One leg did break while putting together on a chair. The trick is to not use an electric drill to screw things in. Too rough. December 4, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Janiceb Sturdy and solid First time ordering from World Market so not sure what to expect., but the chairs are heavy and well made. They look great at my antique oak dining table and really pull the room together. September 25, 2014

The domestic violence community needs to remain vigilant about what happens with Immigration Reform in our country because of the potential impact that immigration policies and laws can have on immigrant victims of domestic violence. Immigrant victims of domestic violence, whether documented or undocumented, face particular barriers when seeking help. They are also less likely to report crimes or seek police assistance because they fear they will be reported to federal immigration authorities and deported or have their children taken away.
Immigrant victims of domestic violence face a series language and cultural barriers that make it difficult for them to understand their rights, access services, and work with law enforcement. Furthermore, abusers of immigrant victims often have additional power over their victims through deliberate attempts to misrepresent the law and by controlling immigration documents and threatening deportation or losing custody of their children if they report violence.
Since Congress first passed the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in 1994, federal legislation has addressed the additional challenges facing immigrant victims of domestic and sexual violence. In 2005, Congress took significant steps in the VAWA reauthorization to increase protections for immigrant victims of violence. Learn more about VAWA 2005.
The National Network to End Violence Against Immigrant Women monitors on-going immigration reform debate for proposals that will expose victims to even greater danger and make our communities less safe. They support immigration reform provisions that ensure immigrant victims of violence have access to law enforcement and services to escape violence.
The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) also supports policies that benefit all victims of domestic violence and believes that the ability of immigrant victims to receive police protection and restraining orders is crucial to efforts to end domestic and sexual violence. NNEDV works closely with the National Network to End Violence Against Immigrant Women to advocate for legislation that ensures abused immigrants can access police protection and receive services. Join NNEDV's Action Alert list and receive updates on when you can take action to keep immigrant victims safe!

Running Time: 143 Minutes
"Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie" -Helen

- Antony and Cleopatra - DVD
Running Time: 171 Minutes
"All is lost! This foul Egyptian hath betrayed me."-Antony
She's called the most fascinating female character of any age. The remarkable characterization of Cleopatra has made this sequel to Julius Caesar a timeless favorite.

This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.
- As You Like It - DVD
Running Time: 150 Minutes
"All the world's a stage" -Jaques
Shakespeare at his sunniest, posing serious questions in the most lighthearted tone. Is there a "natural difference" between a Duke's daughter and a commoner? Are men really stronger than women?

Stars Helen Mirren, Brian Stirner and Richard Pasco.
This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.
- The Comedy of Errors - DVD
Running Time: 109 Minutes
"Have patience, sir, O, let it be not so!" -Balthazar
Roger Daltrey, lead singer of the rock band "The Who" described studying Shakespeare in school as "like having a tooth pulled." As star of Shakespeare's shortest play, he makes the viewer's experience far more pleasurable. In a perfect plot for the screen, twin sons whose servants are also twins must find their father before sundown, or he will be executed. Costuming, directions and, of course, music, are beautifully handled.
- Coriolanus - DVD
Running Time: 145 Minutes
"My gracious silence, hail!" -Coriolanus
The turmoil of war and political conflict sound the theme for the last of Shakespeare's tragedies. In this tragedy, Shakespeare studies the character of a soldier.

There he is tricked into believing Imogen has been unfaithful. Imogen disguises herself as a boy and flees the court. Starring Claire Bloom, Helen Mirren and Richard Johnson
- Hamlet - DVD
Running Time: 215 minutes
"To be, or not to be; that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them…" -Hamlet
In this richly costumed production, the greatest tragedy ever written maintains all the tension of a murder mystery as it examines the fundamental issues of justice, guilt and death.
The director's innovative film technique creates an intimate performance that succeeds extremely well on small as well as large screen.
Hamlet, the most complex of all Shakespeare's characters is considered the greatest challenge for an actor. Derek Jacobi is a superb choice in the rigorous tradition of Shakespearian acting. Stars Derek Jacobi, Patrick Stewart, Eric Porter and Claire Bloom.
This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.

"Look on thy country, look on fertile France…" -Joan
The first of a trilogy, recreating Henry's early days as King. In the war with France, England is being driven off French soil.

- Julius Caesar - DVD
Running Time: 161 minutes
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears" - Antony
Breaking all conventional rules of drama, Shakespeare creates neither a clear-cut hero nor a Villain. Instead, this great tragedy presents complicated human beings in agonizing conflict with one another, and themselves.
Starring Richard Pasco, Keith Michell and Charles Gray as Caesar.
This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.
- King John - DVD
Running Time: 157 Minutes
"Mad world, mad kings, mad composition" -Bastard
Here Shakespeare rewrites an anonymous dramatic treatment of the subject, the only time he uses such a source instead of the chronicles themselves.

Running Time: 185 Minutes

But when the Princess of France arrives on a diplomatic mission with her three ladies, the men fall in love with them. At the news comes of the death of the King of France and the ladies depart, refusing to marry until their suitors undergo a year's probation -hence the play's title.
- Macbeth - DVD

"Double, double toil and trouble Fire burn, and cauldron bubble" -Witches
This savage tragedy is one of Shakespeare's most enduringly popular. Told by a trio of witches that he is fated to become King of Scotland, the warrior Macbeth, aided by his wife, in his quest for power murders his king and assumes the throne. The two embark on a guilt-ridden reign of terror.
Starring Nicol Williamson and Jane Lapotire.
This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.
- Measure for Measure - DVD
Running Time: 145 Minutes
"O you beast! O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch!"-Isabella
The trickiest sort of play--a comedy with tragic relief. With her brother condemned to die for the crime of premarital sex, Isabella is torn between her vows to God and desire to save him.
The New York Times says "Kate Nelligan is the image of idealized faultlessness as Isabella…'Measure' works splendidly and the fluid touch of director Desmond Davis serves it well."
- The Merchant of Venice - DVD
Running Time: 157 minutes
"The quality of mercy is not strain'd, It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath: it is twice blest; It blesseth him that gives and him that takes…" -Portia
The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's most famous comedies. It has become most celebrated for its captivating villain, Shylock.

Starring Warren Mitchell and Gemma Jones.
This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.

"What, have I scaped love-letters in the holiday -time of my beauty…"-Mistress Page
Queen Elizabeth herself is said to have requested the return of Falstaff to the Bard's stage…supposedly she wanted to see him in love. What Shakespeare gave Her Majesty instead was Falstaff's attempt to recoup his fortunes by seducing two respectable wives of affluent Windsor husbands.
This most amiable play, depicts the sturdy middle class, rarely found among Shakespeare's milieu of aristocrats. Starring Ben Kingsley, known for his academy award performance in Ghandi, here as a jealous husband. Richard Griffiths is Falstaff.
- A Midsummer Night's Dream - DVD
Running Time: 112 minutes
"Set your heart at rest: The fairy land buys not the child of me." -Titania
"they are all accomplished performers, but the director has given the extra dimension of using them brilliantly in terms of television." - New York Times
"this production really takes off once transported to fairyland...Phil Daniels plays a likeable Puck who the viewer grows to trust as the play progresses whilst at the same time making for an interesting fairy/cockney hybrid. He is spritely, energetic and captures the essence of fairyland in contrast to the sedate and uninspiring atmosphere present in the Athenian lifestyle.
Praise must be given to Helen Mirren (whenever is it not?) for her role as Titania. She brings much needed softness and femininity to the role that is lacking so in Helena and Hermia, who at times are brash, loud and unappealing. Mirren, on the other hand, positively glows in her role as fairy Queen. I found the moment where she falls in love with Bottom, disguised as an ass, hilariously funny as she glows with the radiance of a woman truly in love in a way I have seen no other actress play the role. I believed every perfectly articulated word she spoke, since she gives each word sufficient weight but also a fairy daintiness." -PlayShakespeare.com
An extraordinary production of an enduring comedy. Three plots intertwine: the entangled love affairs of Demetrius and Helena, Lysander and Hermia, the comic performance of a "play within a play" by the tradesmen of Athens and the antics in fairyland of King Oberon and Queen Titania.
The strong cast features Helen Mirren and Peter McEnery, Pippa Guard, Brian Glover and Phil Daniels. As the New York Times states"they are all accomplished performers, but the director has given the extra dimension of using them brilliantly in terms of television."
- Much Ado About Nothing - DVD
Running Time: 148 Minutes
"Everyone can master a grief but he that has it."
A spirited production of the first of Shakespeare's three great romantic comedies. The sparring wit of the confirmed bachelor, Benedick and the haughty lady Beatrice seems to delight audiences more every year. Starring Robert Lindsay and Cherie Lunghi as Benedick and Beatrice.
- Othello - DVD
Running Time: 203 Minutes
"Poor and content is rich enough" -Othello
Jealousy in love is one of the most common of human emotions. In Othello, Shakespeare combines this universal theme with perfectly structured scenes, a storyline that lingers in the memory and a prime example of a tragic hero, Othello himself. The result is perhaps his greatest triumph as a stage play. When the evil Iago plants the seeds of doubt in Othello's mind about Desdemona's fidelity, audiences around the world have been held spellbound.
Starring Anthony Hopkins as Othello and Bob Hoskins as Iago.
This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.
- Pericles - DVD
Running Time: 177 Minutes
"See where she comes, appareled like the spring" -Pericles
Scholars agree that Shakespeare collaborated on this dramatic romance, not much is regarded to be his alone.

This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.
- The Taming of the Shrew - DVD
Running Time: 127 Minutes
"Asses are made to bear, and so are you" -Katharine
This comic confrontation between the sexes is one of the most frequently-staged plays. Its sparkling wit and rich characterization are matched with an outstanding cast.

Featuring strong performances by Jonathan Pryce, Norman Rodway and John Shrapnel.
This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.
- Titus Andronicus - DVD
Running Time: 167 Minutes
"Hear me, grave fathers! Noble tribunes, stay!" -Titus Andronicus
Set in late Roman times, this tragedy draws on mythology for brutal tales, such as a banquet where a mother is served the flesh of her sons. Titus Andronicus is created as a commanding figure of bravery with a flawed sense of honor, a concern for the reputation of nobility than for its substance. Starring Eileen Atkins, Trevor Peacock.
This DVD is English Subtitled for the Hearing Impaired.
- Troilus and Cressida - DVD
Running Time: 190 Minutes
"I take today a wife, and my election…"-Trolius
As reviewed in Choice, "This video of Troilus and Cressida is simply excellent, and will be a valuable resource to anyone teaching the play."
A well-acted production, with creative use of the camera, it presents the modern interpretation of the play as the negation of chivalry, love and honor. Cressida deserts her adored Troilus, with scarcely a second thought. On the battlefield, the hero Hector dies unceremoniously. Stars Anton Lesser, Suzanne Burden.
- Twelfth Night - DVD
Running Time: 124 Minutes
"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them." -Malvolio

Clip Length: 52 seconds
"37 Shakespeare plays originally released on video and now available on DVD, the sampled title, Romeo and Juliet, is stunning. Leading a stellar cast, esteemed actor Sir John Gielgud introduces William Shakespeare's best-know tragedy and one of the greatest love stories of all-time. Viewers enter the escalating quarrel between two quarrelsome families when young lovers' Romeo and Juliet challenge fate and attempt to reconcile their problem, while ultimately sacrificing their lives. Set backdrops and costumes are amazingly detailed with every subtle clothing hue and textile texture brought to life. As well, the stage sets and characters seem to "pop off" the screen in a 3-D effect. The complete script (that remains true to Shakespeare's original play) is included in a Word document for downloading. The original videos (released from 1978 through 1984) are classics, and the DVD titles are remarkable. This entire Shakespeare series ...is highly recommended for both school and public library literature collections."

"For many collections, the BBC Shakespeare series was among the earliest and most significant acquisitions. At Berkeley and many other institutions, the series has come to be regarded as the canon against which other Shakespeare performances on film are measured and compared. How amazing it is, then, to rediscover this resource on DVD, with wonderfully enhanced visuals and sound, and with the convenience of direct access to individual acts and segments. If the advent of DVD is the single most significant event in media librarianship in the past 30 years, the release of the BBC Shakespeare on DVD is certainly a close second."- Gary Handman, Director, Media Resources Center, UC Berkeley
"Shakespeare Would Be Amused...by the care, money, time and talent that are being lavished on the mammoth task of producing all 37 of his plays..."- TV Guide
"BBC productions of Shakespeare's plays are commonly used across America to familiarize students with the script: libraries that own VHS version of the productions are advised to upgrade to the digital format. Hopkins and company give thoroughly 'traditional' performances of the piece, themselves supremely comfortable with Shakespeare's words. The Producers wisely break down the menu selections, primarily by act, allowing students and teachers to more easily find a particular section than VHS would permit"
