It's early in the new year, which means - if you're like me - that the resolution of being a better, more understanding, more perfect parent in 2013 was broken sometime before New Year's Day dinner.
So I offer up an alternate resolution for the rest of the 2013: Be a more neglectful parent. I'm not actually advocating neglect - just a little less hovering, a little less worrying, a little less intervening. If we give it a try, we might just wind up with less grey hair and better relationships with our kids by year's end.
I do not, for one minute, posit that this is an easier resolution to keep than being a more perfect parent. In fact, it may be harder. At least society supports the notion of perfect parenting. Mention in the carpool line that you intend to be a more neglectful parent in 2013 and face being unfriended.
You can blame Wendy Mogel, a clinical psychologist and author of the parenting books "The Blessing of a Skinned Knee" and "The Blessing of a B-" for giving me this hare-brained notion. I mean, the woman wrote about a B-minus being okay. How much more counterculture can you get?
I spoke to Mogel recently about following the path to more neglectful parenting. Here's what she suggests:
1. Don't assume the worst. "We have become a society of good parents gone bad: loving, devoted, intelligent parents who keep saying to themselves 'what if. . . ' " Mogel says. The reality is that this biological imperative toward overprotection - think mama lion on the African savannah - is not well suited for 21st-century life. "But still we use those same instincts to make sure our kid gets the best second-grade teacher or makes the right soccer team. It's a little crazy," Mogel says.
2. Don't make your children assume the worst. Children live in a very different world from adults, and that's sometimes hard to remember. "Children aren't nervous until we make them nervous," Mogel says. So the antidote to assuming the worst is to spend time seeing the world as your child does - at any age. "Babies are mesmerised by lights. As a parent, you see lights in a new way when you have a baby," she says. ". . . With teenagers, you had better have seen 'Gangnam Style' by now. It's not a coincidence that it's the most-viewed YouTube video. It's so inventive, so hilarious, so delightful." Children give us the chance to see the world as a less hostile place, but we have to open our eyes to those possibilities.
3. Don't be your child's best friend. This idea never would have occurred to our parents, Mogel points out, noting that our parents may have struggled to correctly answer what grade we were in. Today, many parents can recite their children's class schedule, teachers' names and grades by heart. "We take their emotional temperature all the time, and if they're unhappy, we're unhappy," she says. Mogel warns that we take our children's lives too personally, in a way that isn't healthy for them or for us.
4. Get outside. Want to engage in quality time with your child? Take a hike - together as a family. Even if it's cold out. Mogel is a big fan of Richard Louv's "Last Child in the Woods" (Algonquin Books, $15), a book about the power of using our five senses in a three-dimensional world that cannot be experienced on a tablet or in front of a wide-screen TV. It's also a wonderful way to see the world through your children's eyes. And if you're the parent of a teenager, what starts out as a replication of the Bataan Death March might actually lead to some real conversation and - gasp - laughter.
5. Find another neglectful parent. Finally, support on this journey is critical. So Mogel advises finding "another somewhat neglectful parent; a person who refuses to overprotect, overindulge and overschedule" his or her child. On her Web site, Mogel has created a 13-step program called Overparenting Anonymous. It's wise and witty, and the concept of having a "sponsor" is empowering. After all, neglectful parents of the world must unite!

'MAD MEN' vs. REALITY: Compare Don Draper's Ads With Those That Actually Ran In The 1960s
Published 10:18 am, Sunday, April 27, 2014
One of the most exciting things about "Mad Men" is seeing the creative process Don Draper and his team go through to come up with the ad campaigns that determine the very fate of Sterling Cooper & Partners.
Throughout the show's six seasons, these campaigns have featured major brands like Playtex and American Airlines.
Despite the best efforts of Don Draper, Peggy Olson, and the rest of the team, however, their ads are often not much better than the ads their fictional clients were running in real life during the '60s. Sometimes, in fact, Sterling Cooper's ads were much worse.

Take a look and judge for yourself ...
Don Draper's Season 1 pitch for the Kodak Carousel remains one of the show's most poignant moments.
The real first ad for the Carousel, which debuted in 1962, wasn't as high-minded as Draper's, but it did explain what the product does.
Sterling Cooper's ad for Samsonite plays on the fact that nobody likes an empty suitcase.

The free breakfast was good, and the staff was fantastic.
I thought my room would be larger based on the internet ad, but it was pretty good overall.
For the money, this is a good place to stay. There are many things close by to see and do, and taxis are always available. Once again, the staff is attentive and always took good care of me.

Becomming a Master thanks to these knives,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I ordered these knives as a gift for my husband. But I use these knives way more than I thought I would have. In fact when I was in a local store the knuckle sandwich 5.5 knife was on sale for less than $15 and I purchased a second knife to have as a spare...
I really like how the knives feel in my hand. It is so easy to cut just about anything.
I wish the blade guard was a little different, I'm used to using a knife block and I'm always afraid that I'll cut myself when I slip a knife back into the guard.
Very happy with these knives and would recommend these to anyone that wants a quality sharp knife in your kitchen.

Punjab VB nabs BDPO, two former village Sarpanch
Amritsar: A block development officer and two former village heads were today arrested by the Punjab vigilance bureau for their alleged involvement in multi-crore "border area rural development" scam.
The arrests came a day after National Commission for SC/ST accused the department of "willfully" slowing the pace of probe into the financial bungling in rural development funds.
According to VB, arrested accused are BDPO Satwinder Singh and sarpanchs Dalip Singh and Amrik Singh.
Yesterday, National Commission for SC/ST served a month limit to the department to conclude the ongoing probe or the matter would be transferred to CBI.
Sarabdyal Singh, the personal assistant of former Animal Husbandry Minister Gulzar Singh Ranike is on run and wanted by police since the scam of border area grants surfaced three months back.
The case was transferred to VB after the resignation of Ranike few weeks back.
The latest investigation indicate that accused Sarabdyal Singh allegedly embezzled nearly Rs 4 crore by encashing 12 cheques meant for development works in Attari constituency through dummy bank accounts.

Brazilliance is a soft, squashy samba-jazz album. The electric guitars are soft and squashy and the bass is soft and squashy and the sax and piano are soft and squashy and the singer whispers and murmurs in a soft, squashy undertone. He sings in Portuguese. Then he sings in English. "Quiet walks by … quiet … streams …" he croons, and after that there are some lines about these being his hopes and dreams and how much he'd like to die here. Gruesome. Listen to this album, it's as if you've landed with both feet in the Swamp of Soothe and the suction is slowly pulling you under. Brazilliance should come in handy if you've got a café that needs background mood music (you can almost hear the plates tinkle modestly as it plays, and well-fed voices talking about the latest arthouse flick) or if you feel like falling asleep in your hammock on a warm day, lulled by an album that wants nothing more than to make you relax.

Capturing what matters and measuring what counts: This is a global leadership imperative. And it is the best--if not the only--way to showcase that managing digital globalization and delivering international experiences effectively pay off. It is all about effectiveness and starts with the early steps in the global content value chain. A number of criteria and indicators should be on the radar screen of anyone willing to define, analyze, and leverage effectiveness holistically. Productivity may not always be at the top of the list in terms of localization benefits although it definitely drives time and cost savings, while enabling to better allocate resources and optimize timeframes. It may come up as a secondary factor or be diluted in other prominent indicators such as content accuracy or consistency.

What is a 'Regressive Tax'
A regressive tax is a tax that takes a larger percentage of income from low-income earners than from high-income earners. It is in opposition with a progressive tax, which takes a larger percentage from high-income earners. A regressive tax is generally a tax that is applied uniformly to all situations, regardless of the payer.
BREAKING DOWN 'Regressive Tax'A regressive tax affects people with low incomes more severely than people with high incomes. While it may be fair in some instances to tax everyone at the same rate, it is seen as unjust in other cases. As such, most income tax systems employ a progressive schedule that taxes high earners at a higher percentage rate than low earners, while other types of taxes are uniformly applied. Examples of regressive taxes include sales taxes, user fees and, arguably, property taxes.
Sales Tax
Governments apply sales taxes uniformly to all consumers based on what they buy. Even though the tax may be uniform (such as 7% sales tax), lower-income consumers are more affected by it.
For example, imagine two individuals each purchase $100 of groceries per week, and they each pay $7 in tax on their groceries. The first individual earns $2,000 per week, making the sales tax rate on her groceries 0.35% of income. In contrast, the other individual earns $320 per week, making her grocery sales tax 2.2% of income. In this case, although the tax is the same rate in both cases, the person with the lower income pays a higher percentage of income, making the tax regressive.
User Fees
User fees levied by the government are another form of regressive tax. These fees include admission to government-funded museums and state parks, costs for driver's licenses and identification cards, and toll fees for roads and bridges.
For example, if two families travel to the Grand Canyon National Park and pay a $30 admission fee, the family with the higher income pays a lower percentage of its income to access the park, while the family with the lower income pays a higher percentage. Although the fee is the same amount, it constitutes a more significant burden on the family with the lower income, again making it a regressive tax.
Property Taxes
Property taxes are fundamentally regressive because, if two individuals in the same tax jurisdiction live in properties with the same values, they pay the same amount of property tax, regardless of their incomes. However, they are not purely regressive in practice because they are based on the value of the property. Generally, it is thought that lower income earners live in less expensive homes, thus partially indexing property taxes to income.
Flat Tax
Often bandied around in debates about income tax, the phrase "flat tax" refers to a taxation system in which the government taxes all income at the same percentage regardless of earnings. Under a flat tax, there are no special deductions or credits. Rather, each person pays a set percentage on all income.

SCEA God of War: Chains of Olympus
- It retains all of the epic awesomeness of the first two God of War titles. Don't think for a second that just because it's on the PSP, it's any less amazing. The graphics are fantastic. Even though the PSP screen features less real estate, the game still shines with some incredible visuals. The controls are tight and responsive. If you were worried about the lack of a second analogue stick, don't be. The developers have come up with a system that works and works well.
- There isn't a great variety to the enemies. This also means that there aren't as many "fatality" sequences either. Everything feels just a little narrower in scope. While the game is still epic, it isn't as long nor is it as far-reaching as the previous two titles. You still have to lug boxes around to solve environmental puzzles.
Bottom Line
Chains is a worthy addition to the franchise. While we want nothing more than to continue on with Kratos' journey towards the top of Mount Olympus and his final battle with Zeus, we were more than happy to take a short detour along the way and spend time with what we consider to be the best PSP title we've ever played. We suggest you do the same.

Even though it's akin to sticking a stick into a hornet's nest, we're going to make a pretty bold statement here: the God of War franchise is the most important franchise in Sony's arsenal. Sure, Metal Gear and Grand Theft Auto are both important pieces to the potential success of the PS3 but God of War 3 has the potential to be the defining PS3 title.
We formed this opinion the minute God of War 3 was confirmed for the PS3 and it was recently bolstered by Chains of Olympus, a fantastic prequel that does a bang up job of fleshing out the Kratos mythos. Even though it appears on the handheld PSP, it's just as epic as the big console versions and it's a great teaser of what's to come.
Once Upon A Time
Making a prequel is usually a dicey proposition – heck, even well established storytellers like George Lucas struggle with them – so we were a little worried when we first booted up Chains of Olympus and saw the logo for a company that we had never heard of. Who the heck was Ready At Dawn? Did Sony really pick some no name upstart to do a God of War?
We decided to do a little digging and all of our fears were quickly dispelled: developer Ready At Dawn is comprised of former Naughty Dog and Blizzard employees and are also working on the Wii port of Capcom's Okami as well. That's a fairly impressive pedigree and if companies like Sony and Capcom are willing to hand the keys to two critically acclaimed franchises over to these guys then they must know what they're doing.
As the old saying goes, the proof is in the pudding, and from the very get-go, Chains of Olympus lives up to the high bar set by its two big console siblings. Taking place before the events of the first God of War, Chains follows Kratos as he sets out on his day job, namely doing the dirty work of the Gods. At this point, the trademark bitterness that he displays to Zeus and his merry gang hasn't yet solidified into the all-consuming lump of anger that it was at the end of God of War 2; it's there but it's still at a slow simmer. As the game progresses, Kratos gets embroiled in a plot to undo the world and of course, it's up to him to save the day.
Get A Grip
We don't want to spoil any secrets so we won't discuss the plot in detail but it follows the classic God of War formula. People get in Kratos' way, he cuts them down and moves on without so much as a backwards glance. The plot does have some genuinely poignant moments, however, including one where Kratos has to make a very tough choice. Even though the outcome is obvious, it adds a nice layer of texture to Kratos' personality.
The devs also did a great job with the controls: the lack of a second analogue stick could have been problematic but it's not. The basics are still in place and felt immediately familiar. You move with the analogue stick and jump with the X button; light attacks are mapped to Square, heavy attacks to Triangle and you grab with the Circle button. You block by holding down the left shoulder button; this also unleashes special attacks that you gain as you level up your weapons. The Right Shoulder button is used to activate your magic, such as the Light of Dawn – long distance weapon – and the Ifreet – short-range area of effect fire magic.
Now here's where it gets interesting: in order to dodge, you have to hold down both shoulder buttons and flick the analogue stick in the direction you want to go. It might sound like a complicated mess on paper but trust us, the control scheme works with nary a hitch. We didn't miss the second analogue stick at all, which is something we don't often say about PSP games.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I am writing to show my support for Oscar Brock in the current race for School Board District 6. I have known Oscar for more than 25 years. In fact, he was one of the first people I met when I moved to Chattanooga in 1989. I know him to have a true passion for giving back to the community and striving to make it a better place. American Red Cross, Chattanooga Rotary Club, and the Mental Health Association are just a few of the organizations he has given time to. As a young man he served as President of the Chattanooga Jaycees and I had the honor of serving as his legal counsel while he was in that position. I witnessed firsthand his outstanding leadership, communication skills, and decision making as I served with him on that board. He understands that a board must be able to manage its community resources, have open communication with the public, and be responsive to the public's need.
I know Oscar will be instrumental in making our schools better. He believes teachers deserve better compensation and recognition and understands the importance of parental involvement. Vote to make our schools better by voting Oscar Brock for School Board District 6.

A Comic-Con 2016 report from the "Creating Universes" panel, featuring Neil deGrasse Tyson, Len Wein, Bill Prady and Peter S. Beagle.
Keanu Reeves seems mildly sedated during most of "Henry's Crime." I think that's intentional. He plays the feckless Henry Torne, an overnight toll booth attendant in Buffalo, who agrees to play in a softball game, drives a car filled with other players and discovers that what they're actually planning is a bank robbery. Henry gets caught and thrown in the slammer and takes it philosophically.
Our problem is finding a way to care about these events more than Henry apparently does. He seems to hover above his own life, detached, an observer. Into this life enter people who become more involved in it than he does. There's his friend Eddie Vibes (the conniving Fisher Stevens), who tricked him into the bank robbery. His prison cellmate is Max Saltzman (James Caan), a wiseguy from way back who knows all the angles, except how to stay out of prison. Henry's wife, Debbie (Judy Greer), ends their marriage while he's behind bars.
Out after a year in the slam, he finally discovers a woman who really knows how to get his attention. This is Julie Ivanova (Vera Farmiga), who hits him with her car. That'll do it. She's an actress rehearsing a production of Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard," directed by Darek Millodragovic (Peter Stormare). Henry begins to like Julie. Then he discovers one of the dressing rooms in his theater is connected to an old tunnel that leads to the bank that the softball team was trying to rob.
This is perhaps beginning to sound to you like a screwball comedy. Imagine such a comedy if it has gone 48 hours without sleep. All the elements are present: Henry needs to be cast in the play to gain access to the tunnel, Max and Eddie get involved, Julie is remarkably accepting, any romance between Julie and Henry hangs in the balance, split-second exits and entrances are called for, and so on. Now imagine everyone sprinting through quicksand.
Reeves has many arrows in his quiver, but screwball comedy isn't one of them. Vera Farmiga, James Caan and Fisher Stevens can do it, but they often seem to be looking back, waiting for Reeves to pass the baton. What's needed is someone nervous to play Henry. A Steve Buscemi, for example. Reeves maintains a sort of Zen detachment. Whatever happens is all right with him.
The film was directed by Malcolm Venville, who seems to muse when he should be fretting. How uninvolved is his direction? A friend of mine in Buffalo went to see the movie. He noted that a city block supplying one of the locations "was shot from a boring angle." When a comedy inspires observations like that, you know you're in trouble.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

Neither Nikon nor Ricoh are in the fortune 500 so unlikely to be buying any of the above unless a very stupid bank lends them copious amount of capital.
I think he was talking about the camera division, which is not one of the top divisions within Sony by revenue, so the maths would be quite different. That said, my understanding is that the camera division buys the sensors from another division (semiconductors?) within the family.

|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Located on the Wild Atlantic Way route, in the peaceful village of New Quay, between the rural seaside towns of Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare and picturesque Kinvara Co. Galway, this 4 bedroom accommodation has stunning views over Galway Bay to the medieval city of Galway and the Connemara mountains.
Cuan Beag makes an ideal base for exploring the unique geology and archeology of the the Burren National Park, Aran Islands, Ailwee Caves, Cliffs of Moher and Dunguaire Castle.
Cuan Beag has been thoughtfully furnished to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our beech kitchen is equipped with all modern appliances, microwave, cooker, fridge etc…While the utility room accommodates the laundry area, washer / dryer dishwasher etc. The spacious living room which contains an antique cut-stone fireplace has an oak floor which mirrors a delightful timber ceiling. There is both an oil fired central heating and electric heating. Quality linen supplied. The house provides wheelchair facilities.
Seamus and Bernadette, having settled in the beautiful medieval city of Galway, were pleased to find this peaceful site on the seafront within a short distance of their home.
Bernadette, retired Primary school head teacher, adores walking the Flaggy Shore which affords her time to birdwatch the wintering Brent geese, oystercatchers and curlews, while in the midst of farmers engaging in their seasonal work.
Seamus, retired Director of Adult Education at NUI Galway, takes advantage of local fresh fish availability as cooking is his favourite hobby. Of course, the excellent pints served by Vincent in Linnane's Lobster Bar down the road, is greatly appreciated.
Bernadette O'Grady purchased this cottage in 2000
This property, we feel, is in a perfect location. It was a dream come true for us to find a location which is situated on the edge of a beautiful farming countryside, on the waterfront with beautiful views and with access to wonderful entertainment and activities.
Both Seamus and I come from a rural and farming background and have spent our working lives in our local city of Galway, so it was important to us to find a somewhere we could relax in our spare time.
With the surreal Flaggy Shore only meters to the left, you can become one with nature. While for those more lively folk, Kinvara is renowned for it's music and festivals, and Galway city is only 40 minutes away for the keen historians and shoppers!
The stunning location at the the edge of the Burren and overlooking Galway Bay is what had us fall in love with this home.
The house is an ideal family base. The spacious garden facilitate BBQs, play or general relaxation. The gallery and upstairs area allow children to have free time away from parents who wish for peace and quiet.
We believed, and now concur with, all the reviews we read about this home. Bernadette and Seamus are delightful and helpful hosts and the house is very spacious -- allowing for people to spread out a bit. Our main question had to do with negotiating this location without a car. We were committed to having a relaxing holiday, which for us meant no driving. Although a car would be helpful for this remote location, we were able to have a wonderful stay without one. We took the public bus to Galway (leaves at 9:50 am and returns around 7:00 pm) and also arranged two days of tours around Clare and Connemara. On those days we picked up groceries for dinner and on other nights we were happy to eat down the street at Linnane's. There are three taxi services that can be contacted for trips into Kinvara or Ballyvaughan. Our tour guide Paul (www.odonnelltourguide.com) was also able to take us to Shannon Airport. Great place, great visit.
We had a very enjoyable week here. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and cosy with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped and the inclusion of a few things like milk in the fridge on our arrival was much appreciated. It was good to stay in a well maintained 'home' rather than just a ' holiday let'. The Bernadette and Seamus were very welcoming and happy to suggest things to do in the area. It's a good location to explore the Burren which has a very different landscape and it is just about a 40 minute drive to the Cliffs of Moher. It is a short walk to Flaggy beach and only a stroll to Linnanes Lobster bar where the food is superb and affordable, had we visited earlier in our stay we may have done much less cooking for ourselves!
We (three couples aged 60+) spent a most enjoyable week in this wonderful home with an excellent view of the Galway Bay. The home is spacious and very well equipped. The landlady Bernadette was present on weekends in a separate home and very friendly and helpfull. The countryside is unique, and we took the opportunity to explore fascinating places like The Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. Linnanes Bar in walking distance offers excellent food and is a typical Irish pub at the same time. Golfer should not miss the Galway Golf Club - a very good recommendation of Bernadette.
Fully equipped, comfortable and spacious house with a wonderful view over Galway Bay. It's the ideal starting point to explore the impressive irish west coast, both to the North (Galway, Connemara) and to the South (Clare, Kerry). All within up to 3h driving time. Bernadette & Seamus were very kind hosts and made us feel very welcome. That definately wasn't our last trip to this great country!
Cuan Beag is a Five Star house overlooking Galway Bay. It is even better than it looks in the pictures. I was there with my sister for two memorable weeks in September. We know the area very well, and now that we have found the perfect place to stay, we can't wait to return. It is a real treasure and the perfect place for a fabulous holiday.
From inside every room in the house, and from the beautifully landscaped gardens, you have superb views of Galway Bay, Aughanish Island and even the lights of Galway City. Every comfort has been provided for the discerning traveller.
I have recommended Cuan Beag very highly to all my friends. Now, I am hoping that it will be available for me when I want to return.
Many, many thanks to Bernadette and Seamus. You are the perfect hosts. I hope to see you before too long.
Mary, Toronto, Canada
My family and I recently spent a delightful time at this cottage in the Burren. We were given a warm welcome by Seamus and Bernadette, to their warm and comfortable home on the waterfront of Galway Bay. The scenery was far more spectacular in person than photos could ever convey.
The home, being wheelchair accessible, allowed us freedom to move without hinderence around the house - living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom, which is furnished with appropriate handicap equipment.
Likewise, down the road, Linnane's Lobster Bar is wheelchair friendly. We enjoyed the local seafood and amazing Guinness. Customers both local and tourists mix to create an easygoing and amusing atmosphere.
Ballyvaughan, nearby, is on the flat with many interesting tearooms. The promenade there was very peaceful and relaxing. Near to the Aillwee Caves is the Award winning Perfumery with its coffee shop, not to be missed. The Burren Chocolatier which is only a short drive from the home is also a very unique and interesting attraction to see.
The Clare/ Galway region, rich in landscape, culture, literature and music is ideal for exploration and full of intriguing attractions.
We are very much look forward to returning.
Our warm homely house is located on the Wild Atlantic Way, 200m from Linnanes Lobster Bar and 800m from the Russell Gallery. We are a 15 minute drive from the musical and lively town of Kinvara which, regardless of the time of year, is living in festival mode!
The beautiful and historic city of Galway is a 35 minutes drive and for those who do not wish to venture too far, the lights of this magical city can be viewed from across the bay in New Quay.
For those who are keen walkers, there are many local routes to be discovered. Surfers are only 1hour from the waves of Lahinch. Avid golfers are in their element with the World Renowned Lahinch, Doonbeg, Gort, and Galway Bay Golf Courses all within driving distance.
The peaceful village of New Quay is set on the coast of Galway Bay, overlooking the Aughinish Peninsula and submerged within the beautiful limestone landscape of the World-renowned Burren.
Linnanes pub and seafood restaurant is famous for it's locally produced organic food and Galway bay fresh fish, provided by the local fisherman Gerry. His wife Martina, also sells the fresh fish from a shop beside Linnanes, for those who are happy to cook at home!
The Russell Gallery and Teashop is a wonderful location to view works of art by local and international artists whilst enjoying a strong coffee or even a glass of prosecco and antipasta.
The Flaggy Shore, which inspired Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney to write 'Postscript', is a unique and stunning setting. The contrast of limestone flags, flora and fauna, located only in the Burren and Scandanavia, makes this a historic and magical area.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

While the first book had a focus on us getting to know Gregor and the Underland, the second on Gregor's growth emotionally and mentally, this one is all about disillusionment, the realities of politics and human greed, and Gregor truly leaving most of his childhood behind.
The Underlanders, for all that they look different are, inside, no different from the rest of humanity. That's the lesson I came out with, anyway, and it's a good one. In this latest quest, any remaining illusions Gregor (or the readers) might've had about Underland are irreversibly shattered. The human Underlanders are mostly decent people, the same as the rest of humanity as we know it, but there are enough bad apples in power there to make them all look bad, the same as here in the Overland. There's prejudice, blind, unthinking hatred, rifts between families, murder, malicious deception, pure greed, and it all gives the story such a good feel of reality. In a world filled with giant creatures, that touch of reality grounds the story and makes it easier for the reader to relate to, makes the suspension of disbelief much easier to maintain.
A plague is mowing its way through the warmbloods of Underland and yet another prophecy says that Gregor and Boots must be there to stop it. Only this time, their mother isn't letting them go alone.
Her inclusion, and the way she's yanked suddenly from the story by contracting the plague, I found particularly interesting.Read more ›
Oddly enough, though, "Gregor and the Curse of the Warmbloods" is truly a darker story than the previous two, at times being eerily exciting. There's action, and Gregor's newfound Rager-instincts are taking their toll at the most unpredictable moments possible.
And who would expect in the middle of this inspiring adventure. . .a little family reunion?
Things are never what they seem.
As foretold by a prophecy (another familiar element from the other books), Gregor joins a group made up of rats, crawlers, humans, and bats who have put aside (somewhat) their hatred for each other to seek the cure to this plague that strikes them all. The quest will take them deep into a dangerous forest, the only place where the plant that supposedly holds the cure grows.
The strengths of book three are the same as the earlier books. The story moves along smoothly at a quick pace with almost no lagging moments. The main characters continue to grow in complexity, maturing with age and experience as well as revealing previously concealed aspects of personality and experience. The new characters obviously don't have the same depth, but are also fully drawn as Collins manages to avoid the flatness of character that mars so many other young adult fantasy books, even those that are three times the length and so should have time for more complex characters.
The setting remains somewhat too vague for my liking; as in books one and two I wish Collins had sacrificed a little speed of story for a more vivid sense of place.Read more ›
This third book in the Gregor the Overlander series was just as good as the previous two. I read it out loud to my 9 and 7 year old boys and, once again, they were begging me to buy the next book as soon as we finished this one. These books are deceptively simple. On the surface they seem like just a nice fantasy story about giant creatures and humans who live under the earth, but when you start thinking about them, they are really about so much more. The boys are understanding some of the deeper meanings and have had good conversations about them. There are some disturbing bits in this one, such as how a rat dies and also the loss of two characters in battle. Most disturbing is the ultimate meaning of the Prophecy. I highly recommend reading Gregor And The Curse Of The Warmbloods.
