Cinema NARCs review – "Slipstream" (1989)Posted by Andrew on August 18, 2015
MOVIE – Slipstream (1989)
DIRECTOR – Steven Lisberger
WRITER – Tony Kayden (screenplay), Bill Bauer (story)
– Elmer Bernstein does the score here, which explains why some of the airy singing saw passages sound like leftovers from Bernstein's work on "Ghostbusters" (1984).
– S. Newton Anderson, an uncredited guard, can be seen in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). Murray Melvin, another bit-parter, is in another Kubrick film, "Barry Lyndon" 1975.
– A "Committee Member" like Anderson, Alan Polonsky can be seen with fellow Slipstream-er Bill Paxton in 1986's "Aliens". Prior to that Polonsky's first film role was in "Chariots of Fire" (1981), as a man named… Paxton?
– Murray Melvin, here a "Man on Stairs", had a role in the long-running series "ITV Sunday Night Drama" (a 1978 episode). Another actor in this series was David Warner, who also played the character Blifil in 1963's "Tom Jones". Someone else who played Blifil, but in "The Bawdy Adventures of Tom Jones" (1976), was… Murray Melvin! Another actor to play Blifil (in 1997's "The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling") was James D'arcy, who also played the title character in "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby" (2001). Another Nickleby actor, this time playing other characters in 1982 "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby", was… Bob Peck! And just for the heck of it, another "ITV Sunday Night Drama" actor was John Hurt, who can be seen (fatefully) in "Alien" (1979), precursory to Bill Paxton's "Aliens" sequel!
– "Slipstream" is directed by Steven Lisberger, who also directed 1982's "TRON". One star of this movie was David Warner, who… well, see above for the "Tom Jones" / "Slipstream" connection there. I'm disoriented.
Here we have an example of a film that proves how simple it can be to convincingly place a story in a post-apocalyptic, relatively-near future by simple means. The film's premise is that Earth has been ravaged by earthquake-based natural disasters, including the creation of a massive "slipstream" canyon whose winds have long polished off the bulk of the planet's population. Survivors live in various safe canyons, surviving off of nature and whatever mechanical scraps of the past remain. Herein lies your template for crafting your desolate backdrop: the planet is winning in your story, so you film where there's no visible population (in this case scenic Ireland, mostly). And because it's the "near" future, you assume that whatever's left of whenever humanity last left off prior to the apocalypse will remain technologically relevant to that era. Then you just need to future-ify said mechanics just enough to give the viewer sufficient sense that where/whenever we are isn't quite literal remnants of the 1980's. Throw some rust and grimy long hair and tough leather clothes around for texture, and boom – you're in the wastelands of tomorrow, where things both are and aren't so bad, and are and aren't so different.
Y'see, kids, these movies love to illustrate how when you break humanity down to necessity, such a race can be distilled to its crude, animalistic necessities: everybody just wants food, water, air, shelter and love, and you either abide by laws to get those things or you just take 'em. The people in Slipstream seem to get along by and large, with different communities/factions/what-have-you operating in their own ways. It's implied that there's nogoodniks out there, but with scene offering exception there's nothing to real Mad Max-level gang-style marauding. You get the sense that most troublemakers are like, or not much worse than, Bill Paxton's character Matt Owens, a wisecracking scoundrel and scavenger just trying to make a fast buck by almost any means necessary. He crosses paths, and soon crosses, apparent lawman / bounty hunter Tasker, played by bleached-blonde Mark Hamill and his ladyfriend Belitski (Kitty Aldridge). The premise becomes very parallel-able to a simple western movie, with Paxton as the lovable good guy on the wrong side of the law up against Hamill's not-to-be-trusted lawman as they chase each other over a human bounty due for hangin'. Only in this case the bounty isn't quite human: Bob Peck plays Byron, an android on the lam for murder.
This is our fairly simple setup, and for the first half of the movie it serves to prop up the simultaneously dull and charming tale. The film thrives on simplicity, and to its credit makes the most of a limited scenario. If all you can really afford is to have people chase each other around Irish canyons in fancy two-seater planes, the best you can do is make it look as good as you can, and Slipstream does achieve this. What keeps it from fizzling out as just another straight-to-video stinker is a fluid transformation of tone and character. Through the first half you get a sense from the dialogue that the script isn't going to be entirely tough-guy one-liners and semi-futuristic buzzwords that you'd expect from 80's action flicks. Paxton's character is defined by such parlance, but by contrast other characters, particularly Hamill's and Peck's, are far more obtuse, speaking in broken biblical quotation so often that you'd think this was one of those Christian productions where, by the end, a sage-like character will offer parables about how "you just need faith". If there's a religious element to Slipstream it's far more in line with cyberpunk-ish satire. Indeed the film's centre chunk turns poetic and somewhat abstract in terms of how characters converse. Peck's robo-Byron leads this charge – from the start Byron is both detached and engaged, an android searching for purpose but always unsure how to go about it if it means he has to be more human than he really is. His speech reflects this, speaking only when necessary and often very matter-of-factly, honestly. Generally when a story features such a character it's meant to serve as aloof commentary on the emotionally counterintuitive nature of actual people, either critically or just comedically. Byron does both.
The film's spirit dives fully into this kind of verbal satire when Paxton, Peck and the later's human lady interest find themselves in a secret bunker filled with delusionally affluent survivors and their hoard of archaeological treasures. Most every short, non-expository line of dialogue spoken by Paxton's crew or the rich hideaways feels like an ironic joke about the nature of everything we see. When a couple stuffy snobs talk about how letting in just a few grubby outsiders will lead to a destructive deluge of more, it's simple commentary on class. While Byron and his woman discuss in revery the religious history of the artifacts around them, Matt just as quietly makes quips about the "nice t*ts" on the bronze statues he's otherwise just as much in awe of. Byron's character is often the crux of several, subtly existential comments. When at the end Hamill's character speaks of touching "the Face of God" re: Byron (as does Byron in Hamill's presence early in the film, in reversed roles of fortune), the subtext is suddenly more cyber-existential than religious. Other similar moments sound more like philosophical discourse between Ray Kurzweil and his theorized A.I. entity in Age of Spiritual Machines. After a dreamy dance scene, Byron is all but in love, and after claiming to have slept and dreamed for the first time, Paxton's character outright asks if androids "dream of electric sheep". We're soon pulled back into a stock action-based conclusion, and it's worth noting that the audience at this point cares more about the emotions and goals of the android Byron than the ostensive "hero" Paxton. Byron briefly feels sympathetically akin to Rutger Hauer's robotic Roy Batty at the end of Blade Runner (though not villainous), as we feel the pain of artificial intelligence almost feeling what is arguably limited to a human soul.
Overall this film feels like a production that can't keep up with its ideas, or perhaps isn't even entirely sure what its own goals really are. Is it philosophical/existential/social commentary bookended by action and romance sequences to keep us awake? Or does it do a decent enough job of telling such a tale, but is ultimately burdened by limited and troubled production? Contradictions abound: on the surface Slipstream feels like a z-movie flub, but it was also produced by Star Wars' Gary Kurtz, reflecting decent production quality. It's directed by Steven Lisberger, who directed "TRON" (1982). Also, again, the storytelling has deeper philosophical undertones bookended or even weighed down by action. The stars aren't necessarily super-talented (Paxton, Hamill, Aldridge, etc.), and yet we have bit parts by F. Murray Abraham, Robbie Coltrane and frickin' Ben Kingsley! That said, Bob Peck as Byron is very strong and charismatic – even his lumbering gate is both intimidating and entrancing. Another contradiction is in Paxton's acting: here we have a lead actor in an ostensibly lead role, and yet the bulk of his performance sounds re-dubbed with lackluster results, execution wise. Bill Paxton is very Bill Paxton here, for better or worse – kind of dopey, but endearingly so, especially when flustered or enraged.
In the end, Slipstream really seems like a film intended to be a legitimate Hollywood blockbuster, and probably wasn't too far away from being one. When looking at things like photographic scope and A-list cameos and even lush, super-heroic cinematic scoring, it's not hard to postulate that a lot of time, money and effort went into some areas but got undermined from others where it should really have counted. One wonders what things would have been like with a more concrete script, some full-on celebrity leads and an actual North American release (there wasn't one). But lo, sometimes even the most promising productions fall by the wayside. Like dust in the wind, man. Dust in the wind.
RATING – 3.5 post-apocalyptic air balloons out of 5

Big and elegant best describe these swirls of gold tone earrings by Catherine Stein. Each earring is a very shiny gold tone metal, thick but hollow inside, I think, so not too heavy. The earrings are 1-1/2" long by 1" wide. They look a bit like the Pisces sign. They are very well made and finished both on the front and back with the back being swirls of striations in the gold tone metal. They are fully signed "C. STEIN" in a cartouche on the back. Stunning earrings that will go from day to night very easily. These are clip-ons in excellent working order.

Elbow Fracture In Children
An elbow fracture is a break in one or more of the bones that form your child's elbow joint. An elbow fracture is often caused by an injury. An example is a fall onto an outstretched hand with a bent elbow.
Seek care immediately if:
- Your child's elbow, arm, or fingers are numb.
- Your child's skin is swollen, cold, or pale.
Contact your healthcare provider if:
- Your child has a fever.
- Your child's pain gets worse, even after he rests and takes pain medicine.
- Your child has new or increased trouble moving his arm.
- Your child has new sores around the area of his brace or splint.
- Your child's brace or splint becomes damaged.
- You have questions or concerns about your child's condition or care.
- Prescription pain medicine may be given to your child. Ask how to safely give your child this medicine.
- NSAIDs , such as ibuprofen, help decrease swelling, pain, and fever. This medicine is available with or without a doctor's order. NSAIDs can cause stomach bleeding or kidney problems in certain people. If you take blood thinner medicine, always ask if NSAIDs are safe for you. Always read the medicine label and follow directions. Do not give these medicines to children under 6 months of age without direction from your child's healthcare provider.
- Give your child's medicine as directed. Call your child's healthcare provider if you think the medicine is not working as expected. Tell him if your child is allergic to any medicine. Keep a current list of the medicines, vitamins, and herbs your child takes. Include the amounts, and when, how, and why they are taken. Bring the list or the medicines in their containers to follow-up visits. Carry your child's medicine list with you in case of an emergency.
- Do not give aspirin to children under 18 years of age. Your child could develop Reye syndrome if he takes aspirin. Reye syndrome can cause life-threatening brain and liver damage. Check your child's medicine labels for aspirin, salicylates, or oil of wintergreen.
Follow up with your child's healthcare provider as directed:
Your child may need to have his brace, splint, cast, or stitches removed. He may need x-rays to check how well the bones are healing. Write down your questions so you remember to ask them during your visits.
Apply ice on your child's elbow for 15 to 20 minutes every hour or as directed. Use an ice pack, or put crushed ice in a plastic bag. Cover it with a towel. Ice helps prevent tissue damage and decreases swelling and pain.
Elevate your child's elbow above the level of his heart as often as you can. This will help decrease swelling and pain. Prop your child's elbow on pillows or blankets to keep it elevated comfortably. While your child's elbow is elevated, have him wiggle his fingers and open and close them to prevent hand stiffness.
Have your child rest:
Your child should rest as much as possible and get plenty of sleep.
Care for your child's cast or splint:
Follow instructions about when your child may take a bath or shower. It is important not to get the cast or splint wet. Cover the device with 2 plastic bags before you let your child bathe. Tape the bags to your child's skin above the device to help keep out water. Have your child keep his arm out of the water in case the bag breaks.
- Check the skin around your child's cast or splint daily for any redness or open skin.
- Do not let your child use a sharp or pointed object to scratch his skin under the brace or splint.
- Do not let your child push down or lean on any part of the cast, because it may break.
Take your child to physical therapy as directed:
A physical therapist can teach your child exercises to help improve movement and strength and to decrease pain.

That was very pleasing, I didn't understand what was going on at first though. However, that punch line was worth the confusion. Good job with the made up soundFX from your garage. Try using a pitch bend on them, give you more of a gunfire depth to them.
Thanks for that. I'll look into that pitch bend.

Before you can use your new SSD you have to initialize and partition it.
The drive is now formatted and ready for use.
I need some assistance please. A few months ago, I purchased a Crucial CT256MX1 SSD to use as a secondary storage drive (for now). I attempted to initialize and format it for use, however, keep getting error messages and BSOD's. So, I left it alone until now.
Tonite, I attempted the procedure all over again, several times, and received 4 subsequent BSOD pages. I faithfully followed the below included instructions word for word.
"The drive is now formatted and ready for use."
Except, it is not.The little round Windows circle starts going round and round as if it is processing the request, then I get hit with an error message stating "the Disk Management Console is not up to date". I have tried to find out what that means and how to fix it, but have been unsuccessful so far.
This is the second SSD I have tried since the first one gave the same error messages, so I thought it was defective and returned it, but this one is also not co-operating.
Any assistance /suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Pardon me if this is the wrong forum. Where should I post this request, if not here?
Within a working stable 3.0.4 installation, I installed the Beta Tester Plugin, set it for "Bleeding Edge" and upgraded. Within WordPress, it indicated that update was successful. But when I clicked on Dashboard, I get this:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /home/content/w/h/e/wheat395/html/wordpress/wp-includes/class-wp-admin-bar.php on line 160
Now I get the same error if I close the browser and go back to my login page
As you can guess, the WordPress blog is not at the root of my Web hosting directory. Is that related to the problem?
Can I fix this by easily editing a string? How do I go about this?

Lindsay Jones, who lives in Chicago, was diagnosed with eczema when she was 2 weeks old. Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to Affordable Care Act By Jeff Cohen • Mar 3, 2015 Mark Fischer (Flickr Creative Commons) The nation's highest court again has the future of the president's signature health care law in its hands.

State Considers Special Enrollment Period for Obamacare By Jeff Cohen • Feb 24, 2015 Courtesy of Access Health CT When people without health insurance get around to filing their taxes this year, they may find that they have to pay a penalty. State officials are working on a fix. The Affordable Care Act mandates that everyone have insurance or face a fine.

Homelessness in Greater Hartford: Meet Sal Pinna By Susan Campbell • Feb 20, 2015 Susan Campbell / WNPR Salvatore Pinna, 52, grew up on Long Island and came to Connecticut 20 years ago. In official parlance, Pinna is chronically homeless, which is how the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development describes someone who has been homeless for a year or more, or who has had at least four incidences of homelessness in three years, and has a disability. Pinna more than fits the description. He has effectively been homeless since he came to Connecticut in the '90s. Some of that time he spent living on the streets and sleeping under bridges. 100-Day Challenge to End Homelessness By Catie Talarski • Feb 19, 2015 Chion Wolf Salvatore Pinna moved to Connecticut 20 years ago.

Parents Want Better Oversight of Food Allergy Control in Schools By David DesRoches • Feb 18, 2015 PublicDomainPictures / Creative Commons Parents in the town of Fairfield are locking horns with public school teachers over the best way to keep kids with food allergies safe. Part of that controversy is over who is responsible for reading food labels. If you have a kid in public school, chances are you might have gotten a note from your teacher about what foods are okay to bring to class, like fresh fruit, and what foods aren't, like peanuts or cheese. But what about packaged or store-bought foods, where sometimes the food labels aren't so clear? Leader of Connecticut Students for a DREAM Hospitalized With No Insurance By Lucy Nalpathanchil • Feb 17, 2015 Bortoletto family Ten million uninsured people nationwide have enrolled in private health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare.

Attorney General to Anthem: Speed Up Data Hack Response By Harriet Jones • Feb 11, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR Connecticut's Attorney General has joined with nine other states to ask health insurer Anthem to speed up its plan to protect consumers in the wake of what may be the nation's biggest-ever data breach. George Jepsen sent a letter to Anthem's CEO on behalf of attorneys general from Rhode Island, Maine, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, and several other states, calling on Anthem to step up its response to its customers. Eighty million people, including more than a million in Connecticut, may have been affected by the cyber hack, and Anthem initially said it will provide two years of credit monitoring for customers. State Hospitals Penalized By Feds for Infection Rates By Jeff Cohen • Feb 10, 2015 scantaur/iStock / Thinkstock For the first time ever, the federal government is penalizing more than 700 hospitals across the country for having high rates of things called hospital acquired infections. Those are potentially avoidable mistakes in health care, like urinary tract infections. In Connecticut, 14 hospitals are facing the penalty -- and that means they're losing millions of dollars. The Affordable Care Act is well-known as a law intended to get more people on health insurance. But it also has provisions intended to improve health care itself. This is one of them. The Science Behind Vaccines By Betsy Kaplan & John Dankosky • Feb 10, 2015 Chion Wolf / WNPR Do you know anyone who's ever had measles, mumps, or rubella? Those diseases have essentially been wiped out in the U.S. because of effective and widespread adoption of vaccines. But that might be changing. Dr. Thomas Frieden, Director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that last year, there were more than 600 measles cases in the U.S., and that was more than there have been for a long time. "This year, there were 100 in January alone," he said. In Puerto Rico, Health Overhaul Gets An Incomplete By Anders Kelto • Feb 7, 2015 Javier Villa has worked at his family's used car dealership in San Juan, Puerto Rico, ever since he finished high school.

He was taking a shower one morning when he noticed a lump on the side of his throat. "Very big, like maybe a tennis ball," he says. Anthem Hack Renews Calls For Laws To Better Prevent Breaches By Elise Hu • Feb 6, 2015 The call for more systemic changes to prevent mega-hacks is getting louder after hackers hit Anthem, the nation's second-largest health insurer. The company says cyberthieves gained access to the addresses, employment information and Social Security numbers of 80 million customers and employees. Eighty million individuals is a lot — it's roughly the populations of California, Texas and Illinois combined. President Obama Looks to Create Research "Cohort" of One Million Patients By Patrick Skahill • Feb 4, 2015 Flickr Creative Commons / DNA Art Online Precision medicine includes all the stuff that makes you, you -- your DNA, the stuff inside your gut, your family history -- into medical care. Now, President Barack Obama wants to funnel $215 million into a "Precision Medicine Initiative," with the hope of one day incorporating things like a person's genome into everyday medical treatment. Additional Medical Conditions Qualify Connecticut Patients to Use Medical Marijuana By Diane Orson • Feb 3, 2015 Gordon Swanson/Hemera / Thinkstock The Department of Consumer Protection has drafted regulations that would add three medical conditions to the eleven already in place, that qualify patients in Connecticut to use medical marijuana. They include sickle cell disease, severe psoriasis, and chronic radiculopathy, a type of recurring back pain after surgery. Commissioner Jonathan Harris said the approval process for medical conditions is rigorous, and "when you boil it down to its essence, the question is whether the palliative use of marijuana would alleviate the pain, alleviate the symptoms, complications or actually slow down the disease process." Supporting Survivors of Cancer By Betsy Kaplan • Feb 3, 2015 LIz West / Creative Commons More than a million people get cancer every year in the United States, with about 22,000 new cases in Connecticut in 2014. But, thanks to better detection and more advanced treatment, the number of people surviving cancer is growing rapidly. There are 13 million survivors alive today. So, most of us likely know someone with cancer...a neighbor, a friend, or more often, a member of our family. The American Cancer Society says that three-out-of-four families have at least one person in their family who has survived cancer...and that number is rising every year. Employer Health Coverage Decline Is Long-Term By Harriet Jones • Jan 30, 2015 vichie81/iStock / Thinkstock When the Affordable Care Act came into being many people wondered about the future of employer sponsored health coverage, but it turns out that company coverage has been declining for more than a decade. Are Artificial Wombs on the Horizon? And Those Egg-Freezing Parties… By Faith Middleton • Jan 29, 2015 International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center/flickr creative commons Reportedly, younger women of child-bearing age are paying $10,000 to freeze their eggs, hoping to preserve their viability until the women find mates, or their careers and finances allow them to become pregnant. That's just one issue addressed by Faith's guests, regular contributor Dr. Mary Jane Minkin and new guests Dr. Erin Wysong Hofstatter and Dr. Elena Ratner, all affiliated with Yale's School of Medicine. Connecticut, Tenet Agree to Renew Talks for Hospital Deal By Harriet Jones • Jan 22, 2015 vichie81/iStock / Thinkstock Tenet Healthcare said it is open to resuming talks with the state of Connecticut over its failed deal to buy five hospitals. The company pulls no punches in its response to Governor Dannel Malloy's invitation. Senator 'Astounded' That Nonprofit Hospitals Sue Poorest Patients By Chris Arnold • Jan 22, 2015 NPR and ProPublica have been reporting about nonprofit hospitals that seize the wages of lower-income and working-class patients. Now, Sen. Chuck Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says hospitals could be breaking the law by suing these patients and docking their pay. And he wants some answers.

The Salford-born 34-year-old, now based in London, has cerebral palsy and reportedly has an IQ level of 234, ranking him one of the most intelligent men in the world.
Prior is a Manchester United fan whose family originally hail from Galway but claims to have a soft spot for the Light Blues which is why he says he will purchase up to 1.4 per cent of Rangers within the next 48 hours in a deal worth around £600,000, with the prospect of increasing his stake.
He told the Daily Record: "My motivation is simple. I want to see a club with a great heritage, and one I've supported from a distance since I was a child, grow as an institution.
"I'm not a frontman for anyone else, 100 per cent guaranteed. This is my stake and mine alone.
"The transaction to buy between one and 1.4 per cent of Rangers I hope will be completed on Thursday, or within 48 hours.
"I want to see what's under the hood of Rangers and I have the financial wherewithal to continue to buy significant shares, perhaps growing it over the coming months to between five-10 per cent.
"I have no links or associations with anyone at Rangers. I met Malcolm Murray (former chairman) a few years ago but that was in relation to asset management business.
"There is nothing venomous or tactical in my approach. Judge me on my actions, not perceptions."

This is a great drink when you are looking for something refreshing and light. It is very lightly flavored, but looks so pretty. A nice alternative to plain water.
Tasty and very refreshing. I love trying non-alcoholic drinks because I am not big on booze but enjoy a nice tasty drink. This is certainly one I will be repeating. Made for Vegetarian swap.
Very tasty and what I do for this lovely drink is freeze cranberry juice with small wedges of sliced lime and a few whole cranberries in ice cube trays, WOW they hold their color and look great, when frozen I have kept them in a plastic container for about a month and they keep nice. They perk up the eye appeal of this drink. Whenever I use whole cranberries for a recipe I always save a few aside in my freezer for special garnishes like this. Will post photo later.

Synchronize your public iCloud photostreams to your WordPress installation. Import images, create gallery posts, and more.
It might be that your server has running out of memory. You can try increasing the available php memory to your server. This plugin might help http://wordpress.org/plugins/memory-bump.
Photostream will not create the posts and media that have been imported already but will try to fetch the media that is not available in the database. However feel free to let it run in another tab while you browser the internet in diffrent browser window. You can see see the progress percentage in the tab.
Photostream relies on the WordPress Cron to update the media and galleries with new content that you have posted to your iCloud stream.
This means that if your website doesn't recieve much traffic your new content will not be imported as frequently. Since traffic to your site is what triggers the WordPress cron to do work.
You can always trigger a content refresh by clicking on the import link.
= I installed the plugin, added one or more streams, but I have no new posts. Why? ( pre 2.1 )=
This plugin uses uses WordPress built in work scheduling functionality to get its work done. It should try to do work every 15 minutes or so, but there are a couple of caveats. WordPress only does this work when people are visiting your site, and so if you're not getting a lot of "foot traffic" then it may take some time for the plugin to do its magic. Most times publicly indexed (by search engines like google) sites should manage to stay more or less up to date with the work that they need to do unless the traffic on the photostream is very heavy.
In cases where you don't want to wait for traffic, or your photostreams are very busy and you want instant updates you can take the advice of the following article to help make WordPress' scheduled work feature more... on schedule...
Lets say that your photostream url is https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#nnnnnnnnnnnnn. You can put in "https://www.icloud.com/photostream/#nnnnnnnnnnnnn" or "nnnnnnnnnnnnn". The plugin will validate what you put in as best as possible and try to figure out what you mean (and verify it by trying to fetch the stream from icloud.com) for you.

"Another "Can't put it down" from Kevin Hearne"
No, as I do not really re-read books.
When Granuelle and Atticus final can realize their love and are no longer bound to ignore it.
Almost all moments were moving in some way. It was written that well.
"Felt forced but okay"
I have really enjoyed the Iron Druid series. It's an easy page-turner and the narration has been great. Somehow Oberon's doggie voice always makes me laugh. I felt like this volume was a bit forced though. The humor and dialog felt flat to me, especially after book 4 which I felt was quite funny. Hopefully the next book will pick up again.
"Keeps getting Better. Awesome story & performance"
Couldn't put it down. The series just keeps getting better. Luke Daniels is one of the best narrators I've listened too. I will be looking for more books narrated by him.
As for the story line in this one...it continues to grow. The entire series is like one big book.A lot of books by the time you get to the 4th or 5th it starts to become a bit regurgitated. That doesn't happen in this one.
Love this series.
"Not my favorite, but still awesome"
I have become quite addicted to this narrator's versions of Hearne's tales. He has fully developed these characters!
When the characters FINALLY become independent as the binding completes.
Oberon, of course.
This one wasn't extreme for me.
I didn't find this as strong as Hearne's earlier books, however to be fair, the bar is quite high for me as I love his characters and style.
I am dyslexic! If it wasn't audible I would not even be able to know what's in a book. I found out I love books.
"I love the whole Story."
I would recommend listening to all the books in the series they're really good.
I would recommend listening to all the books in the series they're really good.
I would recommend listening to all the books in the series they're really good.
I would recommend listening to all the books in the series they're really good.
I love to read, but I am time-limited. Audible allows me to keep up with all my favorite authors while on the hiking trail. Thanks, Audible!
"Granuaile's POV"
I have to agree with many of the other reviewers. This book is just not as good as the rest of the series. We heard a lot from Oberon but somehow his comments were not as cute or endearing as they were in other installments in this series. BUT this installment is still entertaining and represents a change in the trajectory of the writing by sharing Granuaile's point of view. I was not excited about this change, but it became necessary as the plot unfolded. The outcome of the book is wonderful, and Luke Daniels is fantastic again.
"The Iron Druid is Never Disappointing"
Finally Granuaile is a full fledged Druid and she and Oberon can now talk. I love that Atticus could no longer fight taking their relationship to the next level. They complement each other so well.
Yes, I always want to listen to this series in one setting although it rarely happens.
I will say this is the first book in the series I found a little wordily detailed in a couple of spots... but didn't take away from the main parts of the book. Loved it. Looking forward to #6!
"So many enemies so little time"
I would recommend this book along with the whole series. Hearne is on par with Butcher so if you like the Dresden Files you'll enjoy The Iron Druid Chronicles. Trapped is a good story but I have to agree with some other reviews I have seen and state that the first three novels were on a level above the last 2 books in the series.
As I have said these series reminds me of the Dresden files, not in content but in general terms of fantasy and good writing about people hiding what they are and how long they have been living among the "norms."
I have enjoyed Luke Daniel's performances and the way he is able to make the characters come to life is amazing and adds another layer to the books your listening to. I fear if I ever read one of the books in the series I won't enjoy it near as well because Luke's voice isn't there to make the iIrish Wolfhound Oberon come to life as he does as I listen to the audio versions.
I only wished more had happened in this book. Yes, we got another druid but all seen that one coming. But alas, Hearne is setting up several storylines so I will be patient (well maybe I will) waiting for the next book in the series. There is a lack of growth in character development in Atticus but Granuaile's growth and development continues to impress. But it is the quick wit of Oberon which causes this book and the others to better than most.
Fan of mystery & romance -- particularly of historical persuasion!"
"Can't wait for the next one!"
Kevin has done a terrific job with these books, and Luke Daniels does an amazing job with the narration! My husband and I both strongly recommend this one! I need my "Oberon fix!" Can't wait until the next book comes out!
Immigration lawyer in Kansas City. I like Character driven dramas, fantasy (monsters, magic and witches oh my!) and coming of age stories. Favs include: The Book Thief, The Game of Throne series, Harry Potter Series, Dresden Files, Nightside series, anything by Neil Gaimen, 100 Years of Solitude.
I am totally addicted to this series and I think my favorite part may be when Oberon talks. It is exactly how I would imagine a dog communicating, well maybe a little more intelligently than I imagine, but I love this particular insight to the story. Atticus makes me want to spend 12 years learning arcane languages and spells to be a Druid too.

Optimal food price stabilisation policy
This paper proposes a framework for designing optimal food price stabilisation policies in a self-sufficient developing country. It uses a rational expectations storage model with risk-averse consumers and incomplete markets. Government stabilises food prices by carrying public stock and by applying a state-contingent subsidy/tax to production. The policy rules are designed to maximise intertemporal welfare. The optimal policy under commitment crowds out all private stockholding activity by removing the profit opportunity from speculation. The countercyclical subsidy/tax to production helps price stabilisation by subsidising production in periods of scarcity and by taxing it in periods of glut. It contributes little to welfare gains, most of which come from stabilisation achieved through public storage.

Phoenix-based Mesa Air Group plans to exit the Hawaiian market, where it provides interisland flights on a tiny airline named Go!
The flights, between Honolulu and islands including Maui and the Big Island, will end on March 31.
Mesa, best known as a feeder carrier for US Airways and United Airlines, expanded into Hawaii in 2006 and has had a rocky time there, with fare wars, lawsuits and other challenges.
STORY: Mesa expands to Hawaii
STORY: Aloha Airlines files lawsuit against Mesa
STORY: Mesa Air says it can recover from setbacks
Mesa only has two 50-seat regional jets left in operation in Hawaii,down from a peak of five including one spare, and offers 28 daily interisland flights. Those planes will be moved to its traditional business operating as US Airways Express and United Express. Go's 80 employees will be offered jobs elsewhere, the company said.
Mesa CEO Jonathan Ornstein said in an interview this morning that high fuel prices in the years after the airline's launch and negative publicity in Hawaii surrounding the lawsuits were significant obstacles to overcome. He said with the exception of the summer months, Go! has consistently lost money.
"We were just constantly behind he eight ball,'' Ornstein said. "Every time we would see some improvement something would go wrong.''
Ornstein said he doesn't regret expanding to Hawaii but does regret sticking it out so long, including throughout Mesa's 14-month bankruptcy reorganization and emergence as a private company in 2011.
"I absolutely regret losing a lot of money,'' he said. "I think that was a mistake.''

First the Kensington KeyFolio Pro 2 since thats the product I'm posting this reviw on. I'm typing this part with it now.
This one seems to have a better overall design than the ZAGGfolio and is capable of being set up in a larger number of positions. KeyFolio design advantages:
- Significantly less expensive than the ZAGGfolio.
- Easier to open.
- Seems to stay closed more securely with the keyboard removed.
- Easier to insert the iPad in the case.
- The iPad3 seems to be held more securely in this case.
- There's a stylus holder! This is very important if you ever use a stylus.
- The keyboard is held in securely by strong magnets, but is much easier to remove from the case.
- The USB port for charging the keyboard is exposed while inserted in the case so you don't have to partially remove the keyboard to charge it.
- The iPad panel of the case has velcro on the bottom so, with the keyboard removed, you can stand the iPad up at any angle from vertical to a very low angle that's suitable for typing on the on-screen keyboard if you want. Unlike the Zagg, there are no fixed notches that limit you to 2 or so different stand angles.Read more ›
1. The product is awesome with the bluetooth connection. It connects very easy one touch and a couple of blinks from the from your iPad and then you are rolling.
2. I have gotten a lot of comments about how it looks and how easy it is to carry everything all in one place.
3. Access to all of the slots on your iPad is open and easy to reach.
4. iPad fits in the compartment of the case very easy and will not just fall out on its own.
5. Keyboard is very quick to respond like a regular computer when you type. No, it is not to small on the keys, buttons does not just pop off, or sticks while typing.
6. Battery life on this keyboard is great due to it does not run dead quickly or takes long to charge.The great feature that people have forgot to mention is that the keyboard has a self-power saver. It cuts it self off to save power.
7. Shipping was very quick and only took made 3 days to get here.
Now to something that is true and not true, the smell. There is a very strong smell once you open the product which is in a bag inside the box. The smell does go away after a while.
Well that is all I have right now will repost if I find something different other than that go ahead and purchase this item because it has some other cool features on the keyboard that you might like. Enjoy
I contacted tech support this morning and they were shocked! They agree that it is a design mistake and cannot explain how it happened. They promised to get back to me by Monday. The only "fix" possible is replacement of the case with a redesigned model. This problem was unknown to them until this morning (3/23/12) according to the tech supervisor.
I will up date this review on Monday (3/26/12) when they promised to get back to me.
OK Final word from Kensington [3/28/12] is that they made a mistake in advertising the case as a "smart case" and stating in advertising and packaging that: "Magnetic cover enables wake/sleep mode automatically."
They did not offer a replacement or refund but said they would send me a 50% discount coupon for a future purchase on their website. Great! Items on their are twice the price of the same item on Amazon.
Thankfully, I purchased my item from Amazon. Amazon has offered a full refund including shipping both ways.
Kensington made up excuses and made incorrect misleading excuses for a week before they admitted that they made a "mistake" in their advertising.Read more ›

Snow measurements predict water outcomes in spring, summer By Marci Krivonen • Feb 29, 2016 Marci Krivonen Dry February weather melted snow in the high country, but snowpack levels are still substantial.

Hickenlooper wants better labeling for marijuana edibles By Bente Birkeland • Jan 18, 2016 Natalia Figueroa / Flickr During his State of the State address, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper expressed concerns about marijuana edibles.

Pricetag for 7-acre fire near Glenwood Springs tops $80,000 By Marci Krivonen • Jul 21, 2015 Andrea J Holland A wildfire caused by lightning near Glenwood Springs cost between $80,000 and $100,000 to fight. It's now fully controlled. The Red Canyon Fire started Friday afternoon in dry juniper, pinyon and sagebrush. It burned seven acres on BLM land about three miles southeast of Glenwood. David Boyd with the BLM says two helicopters and between 50 and 60 firefighters worked it. "When you have a fire this close to the community, you want to keep it small. One reason it stayed small was because we had so many people who could respond to it."

Background Prevalence rates of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following the experience of war have been shown to be high. However, little is known about the course of the disorder in people who remained in the area of conflict and in refugees.
Method We studied a representative sample of 522 adults with war-related PTSD in five Balkan countries and 215 compatriot refugees in three Western European countries. They were assessed on average 8 years after the war and reinterviewed 1 year later. We established change in PTSD symptoms, measured on the Impact of Events Scale – Revised (IES-R), and factors associated with more or less favourable outcomes.
Results During the 1-year period, symptoms decreased substantially in both Balkan residents and in refugees. The differences were significant for IES-R total scores and for the three subscales of intrusions, avoidance and hyperarousal. In multivariable regressions adjusting for the level of baseline symptoms, co-morbidity with depression predicted less favourable symptom change in Balkan residents. More pre-war traumatic events and the use of mental health services within the follow-up period were associated with less improvement in refugees.
Conclusions Several years after the war, people with PTSD reported significant symptom improvement that might indicate a fluctuating course over time. Co-morbid depression may have to be targeted in the treatment of people who remained in the post-conflict regions whereas the use of mental health services seems to be linked to the persistence of symptoms among refugees.

Great plugin. Only issue is the first point on the to do list of the plugin:
detect Slug for each language and redirect accordingly in parse_query.
When this gets done, it will be perfect.
Good plugin, does what it's supposed to.
However, I would give the fifth star if the slugs automatically updated along with the titles, otherwise you have to manually update them if you decide to update the title to be consistent.
Hello, your plugin is great! The only problem is that when I click on the widget flags to change the language, the plugin is not changing the slug for the language selected. It is changing the language of the post correctly, but the slug keeps the same as the previous selected language. What it should do is to change both the language AND the slug, right? Any help will be apprecciated. Thank you.

I installed pure Ubuntu 13.04 and tried to install the restricted driver,but it became yellow-screen after reboot.
I found this question: Ubuntu 13.04 - installation Nvidia driver
I do in this way:

apt-get install nvidia-current
depmod -a
depmod -a
modprobe nvidia_current
but it says:

so I typed
modprobe nvidia_304
which shows, that
nvidia is loaded, but when I ran
/etc/init.d/lightdm restart
and logged in, I can only see the background!
Then I ran
nvidia-xconfig reboot
and when it's rebooted, the resolution became small (small? perhaps bad English), and I can still see the background only. What can I do?
$ sudo nvidia-settings

|Liberal (Historical Right)
Luigi Luzzatti (11 March 1841 – 29 March 1927) was an Italian political figure and served as the 31st Prime Minister of Italy between 1910 and 1911. He was Italy's second Jewish prime minister after Alessandro Fortis, though predecessor Sidney Sonnino was of partial Jewish ancestry.
He is remembered being the founder of the Italian credit union movement and for his book Dio nella libertà (God in Freedom), in which he advocates religious tolerance.[1] This provoked an exchange of correspondence between him and Benedetto Croce.
Early life[edit]
Luzzatti was born of Jewish parents in Venice on 11 March 1841. After completing his studies in law at the University of Padua, he attracted the attention of the Austrian police by his lectures on political economy, and was obliged to emigrate. In 1863 he obtained a professorship at the Milan Technical Institute; in 1867 he was appointed professor of constitutional law at Padua, whence he was transferred to the University of Rome. Gifted with eloquence and energy, he popularized in Italy the economic ideas of Franz Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch, worked for the establishment of a commercial college at Venice, and contributed to the spread of people's banks on a basis of limited liability throughout the country.
In 1869 he was appointed by Minghetti under secretary of state to the ministry of agriculture and commerce, in which capacity he abolished government control over commercial companies and promoted a state inquiry into the conditions of industry. Though theoretically a free trader, he was largely instrumental in creating the Italian protective system. In 1877 he participated in the commercial negotiations with France, in 1878 compiled the Italian customs tariff, and subsequently took a leading part in the negotiations of all the commercial treaties between Italy and other countries.
Banca Romana scandal[edit]
Appointed minister of the treasury in the first Di Rudinì cabinet of 1891, he imprudently abolished the system of frequent clearings of banknotes between the state banks, a measure which facilitated the duplication of part of the paper currency and hastened the bank crisis of 1893 and the resulting Banca Romana scandal. In 1896 he entered the second Di Rudinì cabinet as minister of the treasury, and by timely legislation helped to save the bank of Naples from failure.
Following the revolt and suppression of the Fasci Siciliani (1891–1894), Luzzatti introduced two measures of social legislation in 1898. The industrial workmen's compensation scheme from 1883 was made obligatory with the employer bearing all costs; and a voluntary fund for contributory disability and old age pensions was created.[2]
After his fall from office in June 1898, his principal achievement was the negotiation of the Franco-Italian commercial treaty, though, as deputy, journalist and professor, he continued to take an active part in all political and economic manifestations. He was again minister of the treasury from November 1903 to March 1905 in Giolitti's second administration, and for the third time from February to May 1906, under Sonnino's premiership. During the latter term of office he achieved the conversion of the Italian 5% debt (reduced to 4% by the tax) to 3¾% to be eventually lowered to 3½%, an operation which other ministers had attempted without success; although the actual conversion was not completed until after the fall of the cabinet of which he formed part the merit is entirely his. In 1907 he was president of the co-operative congress at Cremona.
Prime Minister[edit]
He was minister of agriculture in the second Sonnino Cabinet (December 2, 1909 - March 21, 1910), and on the resignation of the latter was called upon to form a cabinet himself. His administration, which lasted until March 18, 1911, was not very successful. Although a man of first-class financial ability, great honesty and wide culture, he had not the strength of character necessary to lead a government: he showed lack of energy in dealing with opposition and tried to avoid all measures likely to make him unpopular. Furthermore, he never realized that with the chamber, as it was then constituted, he only held office at Giolitti's good pleasure.
During the First World War, he was consistently pro-Ally and strongly supported Italian intervention, but his tone was on the whole pessimistic. Although he did not take office while the war lasted, he was always consulted on all financial matters, and his sound advice was generally followed.
He became treasury minister in the second incarnation of the Nitti cabinet (March 12 - May 10, 1920), but did not resume office in the third. At the general elections of May 1921, he decided not to stand for parliament again, and was made a senator. In spite of his advanced age, he continued to write on economic and financial problems with his accustomed lucidity and soundness of judgment, insisting on the necessity for Italy to return to free trade and to reduce government interference in business matters to a minimum.

1972 Moroccan coup attempt
Part of a series on the
|History of Morocco
Related topics
The 1972 Moroccan coup attempt was an unsuccessful attempt to assassinate King Hassan II of Morocco on 16 August 1972.
The attempt was orchestrated by General Mohamed Oufkir, a close advisor to King Hassan. He was assisted by Mohamed Amekrane, commander of the Moroccan air force base at Kenitra.[1] On August 16, four Northrop F-5 jets, acting on Oufkir's orders, intercepted Hassan's Boeing 727 as it returned from France.[2] Reportedly, King Hassan (himself a pilot), grabbed the radio and told the rebel pilots, "Stop firing! The tyrant is dead!"[3] Fooled, the rebel pilots broke off their attack.
Hassan's plane landed safely at Rabat's airport, which was strafed by air force jets, killing eight and injuring 40.[4] Kenitra Air Base, where most of the rebellious air force officers were based, was surrounded and hundreds arrested.
Oufkir was found dead of multiple gunshot wounds later on August 16, officially from suicide.[5][6]
