Knitter's Review
May 17, 2007
Normally I'd wait until after the June TNNA show to tell you about any new yarns coming out, but this week I have a special pre-TNNA preview for you.
It's from an Uruguay mill that's launching its own yarn label, Punta del Este Yarns. Yes, there's a single-ply wool similar to that of Manos and Malabrigo. But, as you'll see in this week's yarn review, Punta del Este isn't afraid of adding a little cashmere luxury to its line.

September 20, 1940 - April 9, 2013
Bill, born in San Mateo, California, passed away unexpectedly on April 9th. He is survived by his wife of 21 years, Barbara, son Matt and his wife Jonelle, daughter Robin, brother Pete, and two granddaughters. Bill touched the lives of many across the years and leaves behind many friends in Incline Village, where he and Barbara have lived since 1999.
Bill's natural creative talents took him around the world. As a vice president of real estate for Bank of America, he worked in San Francisco, New York City and Asia. He then moved to Gensler and Associates, a world renowned architectural firm, also designing and redesigning office space for major companies, in New York and Boston.
Bill's energy, creativity and ever-present smile served the Incline community in many ways. He was a greeter at Diamond Peak and volunteered to mentor high school students in art classes at Incline High. Bill and Barbara were very active in their neighborhood and famous for their Christmas Party.
Bill and Barbara designed a showcase garden of their own that was on the Lake of the Sky garden tour. They also designed and planted several gardens for prominent homes in Incline. Barbara hopes to continue on these projects.
With all his activities in the community, Bill's passion was the Thunderbird Lodge. He began volunteering at the lodge in 2000, became a member of the Board of Directors, and then contributed his career talents to the lodge as Project Manager for the beacon restoration. He was the Project Manager for the waterfall restoration at the time of his death. The waterfall project is under construction and should be completed in June. The Thunderbird Lodge Preservation Society will celebrate Bill's memory with a dedication when the falls again flow.
In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the waterfall restoration in Bill's memory. Donations may be made to the Thunderbird Preservation Society Fund at Parasol (Parasol.org) or to Thunderbird Lodge Preservation Society, PO Box 6812, Incline Village, NV 89450 (thunderbirdtahoe.org).

Gun-making policy an example of hypocrisy
Dictionary.com defines a hypocrite as "a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc., that he or she does not actually possess." Under this definition, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy is a hypocrite. He supports banning the sale of some guns in Connecticut, but will allow them to be manufactured here.

I bought 2 of these lights, the bulb that came with it, gets very hot. Exactly what size bulb does this take and is it a regular bulb?
It was hard to tell from the photograph if I would like this in our living room, but we took a chance and it is great! Love the way the light reflects through the crystals around the room. If you do not want that affect this would not be the light for you but we love it....

A beautiful chandelier.
A gift for my granddaughter's new bedroom. Perfect light for a Princess' room. But, I had to have help assembling the crystals. It took more time than the electrician's installation.Read More

best light- just gorgeous!!
This light is in our guest bedroom which has 8 foot ceilings. I wanted flush mount, lots of light and something leaps more chic. Yes you do have to assemble the crystals- which takes some glasses, light and an hour. (I know this because I started and finished with the Ellen Show) Put together it looks just like we took it off an expensive showroom ceiling. It holds enough of a traditional feel but gives this amazing modern twist. It's so nice and bright. I put 4 60w reveal light bulbs in and even my husband was saying WOW. (that says something ladies) Definitely picking up a dimmer for this because it's that bright. The material around the cover isn't so much a material as a thinly spaced string. It sounds odd but creates a nice effect on the ceiling along with all of the crystals. Love it! The light does take two people to install. First I put the crystals on. I left the plastic on the material of the shade and gently took off after installing to avoid messing up the material during instal. Directions are bad- so the one crystal that is already together in the bag goes on the center point of the light. The rest are identical and go on any of the loops on the mirror like base. Also It does matter which end of the wire the Crystals attach to so pay attention to that. Tip: try not to pull apart the round rings that attach the crystals too much. I got lazy and was separating them too much. After the light was up I had a few crystals to reattach. I could have avoided that by just pushing the rings back together more instead of relying on the gap to hold the crystal in place. Once my hubby had the ceiling ready I held the light up while he put the ground / wires on. This is a little tricky with all of the crystals but not overwhelming. This is also when I was thankful to have the plastic on the light since that is exactly where I held the light. Fishing for the two screws that fit into the new light was the most difficult part, but somehow I got lucky. Hubby held the light in place while I screwed on the round silver knobs that hold the light to the ceiling mount. The total time : was one hour to attach crystals and 15 min to mount.Read More
We put this up in our downstairs powder room & because we converted 2 coat closets as a half bath it is considerably smaller than normal. However, I painted the walls a rich ,coconut milk, cream from Valspar & added a very tiny but accomodating sink from Home Depot. With this light it makes the quaint space feel very chic & regal. The item includes everything you need to affix the item correctly along with extra crystals. I do have to say that applying the crystals to the line on top of affixing them to the base is very tedious. So much so, that my teenage daughter grew impatient with my struggles & offered to complete it all in exchange for an online album LOL. Done deal. It took less than half an hour to have everything up. I do want to emphasize that the crystals do not hang past the base. They are flush with the shade. All in all, a great investment & unregrettable purchase.Read More
Pretty Glamour for a Petite Price.
For the price it's fabulous. The crystals are actual glass crystal. Meaning they aren't plastic or something else. They are heavy and clear. They aren't as sparkling as Swarovski or other "high end" crystal BUT they still emit a sparkle nevertheless. The overall effect does NOT look cheap. It looks much more expensive than the listed price. However- when you put it together you can see WHY it's so cheap. BUT when it's all put together you can't tell. It is a pain to assemble. It wouldn't be a pain if you had time, a good movie and a beverage. However I was under a time constraint. The directions are worthless. It does matter which end you "clip" to the large crystal drop and to the top of the flush mount. Thankfully another reviewer pointed this out so I did pay attention to that. The cheapest part of the whole piece is the attachment pieces which holds each string to the top of the light. Hint: it is much easier to "hook" the top of the crystal string if you detach the attachment piece from the top - then sling the crystal string to it - then refasten the attachment piece. HOWEVER these things are the FLIMSIEST, CHEAPEST pieces of the whole entire light fixture. If you choose to do it this way be very careful for they break easily. You get one try. You can't re do it or it will break. THANKFULLY it comes with extras just incase. Also please note that the center string is shorter than the rest. The rest can go anywhere. My brother wired it to the ceiling for me. I helped him though as it takes two people. This was a pain. Is it worth it - YES!!!!! It emits beautiful light and the end product looks exquisite. Also the crystals DO hang lower than the "drum". I don't know why everyone says it is "flush" with the "drum". The large, bottom crystal hangs below the drum. Enjoy!Read More
Gorgeous light!
After reading the reviews I knew the light would be pretty... but it was better than expected. I also knew I'd have a couple of hours in to attach the crystals, NOT TRUE. Maybe if you're doing it in front of the TV it could take that long, but because I'm incredibly competitive I timed it... 36 minutes and the crystals were attached. My husband who does a fair amount of electric work had it installed in an additional 10 minutes (with me holding the light up while he attached the wires). I would definately recomment this item... it's very hard to find a pretty flush moount chandelier!Read More
Pretty light - a lot of effort to install
All the reviews I read before purchasing this light are accurate. It takes effort to prepare for installation. Based on these reviews, I did attach most of the crystals to the base before installing. However, I did not attach the nine crystals that are closest to the center, or where the screws from the ceiling attach to the light. I thought they would be in the way during installation, and I was right. They were not hard to attach after the light was installed, but I did need my husband to shine a flashlight because I would have gone blind keeping the light on while I worked. And although one reviewer said they removed the small loops from the base of the light before attaching the crystals, I don't think that's the way to go. It wasn't hard at all to attach the crystals to the loops on the base as delivered, and I think it would have been much harder to reattach the loops. Also, I took the advice of one reviewer and left the plastic on the shade during installation. While you have to be really careful when removing it after the fact, I am so glad we kept it on as it protected the strings of the shade from all the handling. The hardest part for us was actually attaching the light to the ceiling. It took us forever to line up the screws in the ceiling with the holes in the light base, with all the crystals hanging and especially because once the product is close to the ceiling, you lose all daylight between the product and the ceiling, so you are fishing in the dark for the screws. I can't even explain how we finally did it.....many tries and then some luck. So if you want to put in a lot of effort for a pretty light that really sparkles when lit, then you should consider this one.Read More
Questions & Answers
Mine gets very hot too. I just bought my bulbs at the grocery store.
I have the same light. My electrician that installed it said to get LED bulbs. I got them and they are brighter and there is no heat. The LED bulbs are more expensive but worth it.
I use 40 watt candle bulbs and they work fine.
Can this light be swagged using a chain?
No I don't believe that it can. One thing you should know, the assembly of this light is an effort. That said it is really a pretty light!!!
I agree with Kacie. Beautiful light. I love it so much that I want to place more of them throughout the house. Hard to position the flush mount and not swag capable. The base doesn't look decorative to pull off the swag look. Sorry.
No this item can't be swagged. It is flush to the ceiling but really a lovely light. I agree with the others it did take a little effort to assemble and mount, but worth it.
No it cannot. It is a flushed mount. I got this for my daughter and she loves it. It is very pretty.
No it can't be swagged, it is a flush mount.
No, it is hardwired
Is this fixture flush with the ceiling or does it hang down?
it is flush to the ceiling.
This is flush mount. I'm sorry that was not listed.
Hi Simi, I recommend Attaching the wires that hold the crystal balls to the light and only attaching the balls once the light is installed. If you attached the balls prior to install the light will be too heavy to handle. The balls are pretty easy to clip on if the wires are already hooked in prior to the install.
No it has to be flush mounted.
No instructions came with my light. Do I attach the crystals before installation? Please advise.
the installation is basic, if you have ever put up a fixture before. It is up to you as to when to attached the crystals - my suggestion is to add them before install, as many as you can away from the areas where the screws will be.
We did it after because of weight & clanging. Great looking
Good afternoon, We purchased this very same fixture, and we opted to install all of the crystals after we hung the light. It is tedious work, but only takes about 30-45 minutes, and we could clean each one ((to remove our fingerprints) as we put them on. This is a very nice light fixture for the price! So much so, that we purchased a second one for our living room. You will not be disappointed and your guests will never believe how little you paid for it!
Yes, definitely. It takes quite a bit of time so you want to do when it is not overhead.
Hi fiona, you will have to put the crystals on before you install it. It is a bit tedious but just be patient, maybe get a "helper" and it will go by quickly. Also, you might want to polish of the crystals with the white cloth gloves they provide to get rid of any smudges after you have installed the light, it will sparkle so beautifully! It is an absolutely gorgeous light and you will Love it. Hope that helps!
I installed after and it was NOT EASY. I suggest attach as many as you can before. Install was a pain but I love the lamp. Enjoy...
I assembled the crystal links first (without installing them on the chandelier). Also note the different baggies of crystals.... do the ones with the mini rings with one small teardrop at the end of the link. These links should have a total of 11 crystals and there should be a total of 60 strands. I've attached a close up picture of the remaining crystals to help you. Good luck!
Please put the chandelier together before you hang it up. It makes the process much easier! Placing the crystals on can be time consuming. hope that this helps you!
I agree with Fiona. Would be more difficult to attach after installation as you would be working overhead.
I installed the light first, then added the crystals. Much easier that way since it's hanging and you can see where each one attaches
Hook the fixture/wiring up first, connect crystal balls with hook separately; then attach hooks (with crystal balls) to fixture. Beautiful item...
From memory, we did it before mounting- also wore gloves to reduce fingerprints- b careful or u can scratch the metal- b patient
We attached crystals before installing. Attaching the crystals are a bit tedious and would have been more so if we had to do it after installation. Its a great fixture - Enjoy!
Yes. You can't hang crystals after light is installed. Use a light touch when inserting crystal through base and folding back wire. It's fragile.
Do it after you screw it to the ceiling. It's real crystal so beware.
Do I have to put the white shade on or does it look good without it? I would like to use this in a kitchen, will that work. It's not a large kitchen.
It is better to put the white shade on, as it will not look good without it.
The white shade is pretty and I would definitely put it on. It completes the look!
The white shade is attached and cannot be removed...also as the shade fabric I would not suggest you use it in a kitchen.
Is this dimmable? Can we use led bulb?
Yes, you can use a dimmer switch for this fixture. I used regular candelabra bulbs in mine, but I don't see why you couldn't use the dimmable led's. Still loving this light, whether it's on low or high. Looking for a hanging one for my foyer now.
Yes and yes
hi do you have this in 30 inch ?
This chandelier is not available in additional sizes at this time. We apologize for any inconvenience.
Hello, is this chandelier ok for a bathroom?
Yes it is. It is beautiful and no too big. You will be happy with it.
This item is not recommended for installation in a restroom. It is rated for dry locations.
It is UL listed for dry locations only so it would NOT be okay for a bathroom unless it's one without a shower/tub.
Is the shade a true bright white or is it a softer, slighty off white?
I can control from the switch from softer to white. The Crystals create the illusion of brightness. I love it in my Dinning Room
The shade surrounding the crystals an light bulbs is a true white.
I have a small kitchen, so I want this to be the main source of light. Will it be enough, and would the shadows that the light casts be a distraction in the kitchen?
I have the chandelier in a large bedroom, so I believe it will be bright enough for a small kitchen. However, It would not be sufficient for me, as I like a kitchen with task lighting, light over where I'm working. You don't give the size of the kitchen, and your idea of a small kitchen may not be the same as mine. The shadows would not be distracting and it is lovely. You did say main source of lighting, so if you have under-cabinet lights or additional can lighting, it should work.
Hi Donna, I have this in my bathroom and love it. It gives off a ton of light which is what I wanted for putting on make-up. In fact, I have it on a dimmer switch because it's that bright! Hope that helps.
Does this style come in semi-flush mount? Thank you.
Hello Chaya A., no, it does not come in a semi flush mount. Thank you for shopping with Overstock!
Yes, it come with the Semi-flush mount
I would like to know if the down light would be bright enough to light up a work island in a kitchen,
Hello in the dark, yes, this chandelier will light up a work island in a kitchen. Thank you for shopping with us!
Yes it definitely would! It is nice and bright! Love it!!
I agree, Its quite bright. We have it in our entry way.
Can we used in a bathroom. Does the UL listing say Dry/Damp ? I am remodeling my guest bathroom and i am looking at a statement ceiling fixture.
Hello customer83, our factory technician stated it's better not to use this chandelier in a bathroom, it should be used in a dry location based on our experience. If you have any other questions please let us know. Have a great day!
Do the crystals hang lower than the length of the shade? Thank you

Hello maryann, you will be contacted by Customer Care. Have a great day.

The CyberTipline® receives leads and tips regarding suspected crimes of sexual exploitation committed against children. More than 7.5 million reports of suspected child sexual exploitation have been made to the CyberTipline between 1998 and April 2015.
If you have information regarding possible child sexual exploitation, report it to the CyberTipline.
Purpose and function
The CyberTipline is operated in partnership with the FBI, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, U.S. Postal Inspection Service, U.S. Secret Service, military criminal investigative organizations, U.S. Department of Justice, Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force program, as well as other state and local law enforcement agencies. Reports to the CyberTipline are made by the public and Electronic Service Providers. ESPs are required by law to report apparent child pornography to law enforcement via the CyberTipline (18 U.S.C. § 2258A).
Reports are continuously triaged to help ensure children in imminent danger get first priority. Analysts review reports and:
- Examine and evaluate the content.
- Add related information that may be useful to law enforcement.
- Use publicly available search tools to determine the geographic location of the apparent criminal act.
- Provide all information to the appropriate law enforcement agency for potential investigation.
The CyberTipline reporting mechanism assists law enforcement and prosecutors in their detection, investigation and prosecution of child sexual exploitation crimes. The CyberTipline helps make law enforcement's efforts more efficient and maximizes the limited resources available in the fight against child sexual exploitation. The value of the CyberTipline as a source of leads for law enforcement has been greatly enhanced by collaboration with ESPs.
In addition to referring CyberTipline reports to law enforcement for potential investigation, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® engages with the Internet industry on voluntary initiatives to reduce child sexual exploitation online.
Reporting categories
Possession, Manufacture and Distribution of Child Pornography
Federal law defines child pornography as the visual depiction of a minor younger than the age of 18 engaged in sexually explicit conduct (18 U.S.C. §2256). It is a crime to possess, manufacture and/or distribute child pornography (18 U.S.C. §2251 et seq.)
Online Enticement of Children for Sexual Acts
It is a crime to use the Internet to knowingly persuade, induce, entice or coerce a child younger than the age of 18 to meet for sexual acts or to attempt to arrange such a meeting (18 U.S.C. §2422(b)).
Child Sex Trafficking
It is a crime to knowingly recruit, entice, harbor, transport, provide or obtain by any means a child younger than the age of 18 to engage in a commercial sex act. It is also illegal to benefit, either financially or by receiving anything of value, from participation in a prostitution venture in which children are victimized (18 U.S.C. §1591).
Sex Tourism Involving Children
It is a crime for a U.S. citizen to travel to another country intending to engage in sexual activity with a child younger than 18 that would be illegal if it occurred in the U.S. (18 U.S.C. §2423). Individuals who commit these crimes are subject to prosecution in the U.S. even if the crime was committed on foreign soil.
Extrafamilial Child Sexual Molestation
Extrafamilial child sexual molestation is the sexual abuse of a child by someone other than a family member.
Unsolicited Obscene Material Sent to a Child
It is a crime to send obscene material to a child younger than the age of 16 if the sender knows the recipient is younger than the age of 16 (18 U.S.C. §1470).
Misleading Domain Name
It is a crime to knowingly use a misleading domain name on the Internet with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material that is harmful to minors (18 U.S.C. §2252B(b)).
Misleading Words or Digital Images on the Internet
It is a crime to knowingly embed words or digital images into the source code of a website with the intent to deceive a minor into viewing material that is harmful to minors (18 U.S.C. §2252C).
Information for ESPs
Who needs to register?
Any U.S.-based company providing an electronic communication service or a remote computing service to the public through a facility or means of interstate or foreign commerce needs to register with the CyberTipline.
Why do I need to register?
Federal law (18 U.S.C. §2258A) requires ESPs to register with and report apparent child pornography to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children's CyberTipline. Registered companies receive confirmation notices from the CyberTipline for reports they submit for compliance purposes with 18 U.S.C. §2258A.
How do I register?
Provide your company's name and your name, phone number and email address to email@example.com. A representative from NCMEC will contact you to complete the registration process.
What information is necessary to register?
NCMEC requests basic information regarding a company upon registration including name, location, phone number, emergency contact information and services provided to contact the company should an incident of apparent child pornography occur.
What information should I include in a report?
Please see 18 U.S.C. §2258A for details regarding report contents.

Flags lowered in honor of Sen. Warren
Published: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 9:40 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 26, 2013 at 9:40 a.m.
Gov. Pat McCrory has ordered all North Carolina state flags flown at half-staff today in honor of the late Sen. Robert D. "Bob" Warren Sr., who died on Friday.
Warren was elected to the N.C. Senate in 1979 and served from 1980 to 1988. In 2005, Warren received two prestigious honors: the Order of the Long Leaf Pine and the dedication of a section of Interstate 40 in Johnston and Sampson counties named the "Sen. Robert D. Warren Highway."
Flags are to be flown at half-staff until sunset on the day of his funeral service, which is Wednesday.

First, add me as one of those for which things just work. Anything that does not play directly works fine through transcode.
But I think I have noticed one thing that could be improved, at least on windows. It appears that reading from disk is not using buffering. While transcoding this is not so noticeable when the buffer have filled up but it looks like the -cache option to mencoder makes it even less noticeable when I test.
For serving of simple files it feels much more noticeable (especially when copying files) and the way I read the code (not knowing how DNLA works) it looks like every request for a set of bytes from a file is served by creating a new FileInputStream (opening the file), seeking to the asked for position and then reading the amount of bytes requested followed by discarding the input stream? Keeping a BufferedInputStream around along with the File should help with that, but of course you then have to maintain that in some way with timeouts or lists or something.

PhD in Psychometrics and Quantitative Psychology
About the Program
The psychometrics and quantitative psychology program at Fordham University focuses on the quantitative, research-oriented commonalities relevant to most of the behavioral sciences and their applications in industry, education, and the health sciences. Students in the psychometrics and quantitative psychology program gain familiarity with a repertoire of statistical, psychometric, and other research techniques, as well as skills in computer utilization.
Upon graduation, psychometrics and quantitative psychology students should be able to function in applied and basic research academic and industry jobs such as (but not restricted to) academic research and teaching, psychometrics, consulting, and program evaluation. Sophistication in measurement and evaluation can provide employment opportunities consonant with the current social emphasis on increasing standards of performance, equality of opportunity, and accountability in the delivery of human services, such as mental health services, education, and selection and training programs in industry.
Psychometrics and quantitative psychology students are expected to demonstrate substantial grounding in general psychology, in addition to their areas of concentration in psychometrics. They regularly interact with faculty and students in the other psychology doctoral programs.

Legendary actress Diahann Carroll honored at House of Flowers dinner
Diahann Caroll attends the "House of Flowers" dinner honoring her and AMPAS President Cheryl Boone Isaacs at the home of Tracey Edmonds on Saturday, Oct. 19, 2013 in Beverly Hills, Calif. (Photo by Matt Sayles/Invision/AP) LOS ANGELES (AP) — At 78-years-old Diahann Carroll keeps a sense of humor. "I don't think I realize what the passage of time really means until people talk about things that I did in the '50s and I wonder 'Who the hell are they talking about?,'" the actress, singer and Golden Globe-winner said while being honored at a House of Flowers dinner last Saturday evening. Beverly Johnson, Angela Bassett, Regina King and Anika Noni Rose were in attendance to applaud Carroll and fellow honoree Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the first African American president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

3.3-1 Statute of Limitation
Defense - General
Revised to January 1, 2008
Defenses based on statutes of limitation are usually
adjudicated on motion. Disputes over the date of an
occurrence or application of tolling doctrines may,
however, require factual findings by the jury. The
following sample charges, with appropriate adaptations,
may be used to explain the tolling doctrines of
continuing course of conduct, continuing duty based on a
special relationship between the parties, and fraudulent
concealment. There are some statutory causes of action,
e.g., CUTPA, to which some tolling doctrines do not
apply. See Willow Springs Condominium Assn., Inc. v.
Seventh BRT Development Corp., 245 Conn. 1, 45-47
(1998); Fichera v. Mine Hill Corp., 207 Conn.
204, 216-17 (1998).
The defendant
has raised as a defense to the plaintiff's claim of
<describe the claim to which the defense is directed>
that the plaintiff cannot prevail on that claim because
(he/she) did not bring suit on that claim within the
time allowed by the law. There are state statutes that
specify how much time a person has to bring certain
kinds of claims. These are called statutes of
limitation. A person cannot recover on a claim that is
brought after the time period that applies to a
particular claim, even if it is only one day late. The
statute of limitation that applies to <describe the
claim to which the defense is directed> provides
that the claim must be brought within ____ years of the
date the incident occurred. The plaintiff brought
(his/her) suit against the defendant on <date>.
A claim for <describe claim> based on acts or
occurrences that took place more than ___ years before
that date is barred by the statute of limitation. You
must decide when each act or occurrence on which the
plaintiff bases (his/her) claim occurred. If any of
these acts or occurrences took place more than ____
years before the plaintiff brought suit, then a claim
based on that act or occurrence is barred by the statute
of limitation [unless an exception to this rule
Note: Omit
the phrase in brackets if no tolling doctrine is
pleaded. If one is pleaded, state that the plaintiff
claims that an exception applies in this case and go on
to explain the doctrine invoked. Tell the jury the date
the complaint was brought and remind them of the date of
the occurrence, or, if the date is in dispute, the
claims as to relevant dates. This charge will also have
to be modified if there is a dispute concerning the date
when a plaintiff discovered or ought to have discovered
the injury; see General Statutes § 52-584.

Discussion in 'General Fiction' started by Andols, Feb 18, 2008.
For me Dan Simmons without a doubt.
I like everything he ever wrote.
So far for me: Vinge & Scalzi but then I have teh habit of not readind too many books by the same authers. Not by intent but by chance.
I've read and enjoyed at least five books by these authors --
George R. R. Martin
Pat Barker (WWI and British working class novels)
Owen Parry (Civil War mystery series)
Don Robertson (Civil War and present day novels)
Larry Watson (sorta southern gothic)
Ron Hansen (two great westerns and some gen fic)
Charles Dickinson (one kick-ass time travel story and some gen fic)
David L. Martin (with the exception of Facing Rushmore)
Stephen King
Joe Lansdale (especially the Hap and Leonard books)
Margaret Laurence (the Manawaka novels)
Steven Erikson
Dan Simmons (but I couldn't finish A Winter Haunting)
Larry McMurtry (although I thought the Berrybender series was a bit too silly)
Peter Straub (except for Mr. X -- still haven't gotten through that one)
My experience of Philip K. Dick and Haruki Murakami has been pretty stainless so far.
Anna Quindlen
Camilla Gibb
Barbara Kingsolver
Jim Crace
Ben Okri
Fantasy Stuff:
Sarah Zettel
Robin Hobb
Patricia McKillip
Tanith Lee
that's all I can think of right now...
J.R.R. Tolkien
George R. R. Martin
Robin Hobb
Steven Erikson
Robin Hobb, up until Forest Mage, but that's another story.
Matthew Stover
Jeffrey Ford
Neil Gaiman
Steven Erikson
George R. R. Martin
J.R.R. Tolkien
Gaiman would be on my list if it wasnt for anansi boys.
For me its Ray Bradbury.
The Man is a treasure. And his ability to transcend genres is amazing.
I think he is not human.
I think Dan SImmons is the best multi genre author. I wish we would attempt some fantasy.
James Rollins and Clive Cussler for adventure novels
Alexander Kent for Naval Fiction
Orson Scott Card... I've never read a book by him that I didn't enjoy immensely.
Same for Ben Bova and Iain M. Banks
for me :
Alex Kava ( i love the Maggie O'Dell character)
Stephenie Meyer
Kelley Armstrong
John Marsden
Isobelle Carmody
Alison Croggon
James Patterson (maximum ride books)
Michael Pryor
all the books that i have read from these athours are excellent
Tim Powers and James Blaylock are always good for me.
I love reading books by:
Stephanie Meyer
Alison Croggon
Jk Rowling
Kenvin Crossley-Holland
Celia Rees
John Sandford. I love his Prey novels, and there has only been one that I would prefer never to read again.
Eric-Emmanuel Schmitt is a genuis!
I've got nothing else to say...
Alright, one more thing to say... Bernard Werber is a genuis too!
For me!? I'd say;
Ronald Dahl (I loved his stories when I was younger! I still read them now!)
Alison Croggon (By far, one of the best fantasy novelist and poets during this day and age)
Bryce Courtenay (Most of his stories are recollections of true events and are incredibly powerful)
J.K. Rowling (I love her stories. But I can't stand the movies, I fell asleep during the last one)
J.R.R Tolkien(I tried to read the first page of Lord of the Rings and was lost by the third word. Love the movies though, very nice!)
Can't miss means you will automatically read anything they put out?
Zelazny and Saberhagen (fantasy that is) when they were alive.
I was reading all Feist's books up until King of Foxes. I could not get into it. I am reading Conclave of Shadows II now though.
Bujold up until the most recent book or two. I perceive them as being a romance/fantasy.
Non SFF - I read pretty much anything Robert Parker (Spenser) puts out, though for years they have been very much "paint by the numbers". I did give up on the latest Sunny Randall book, after a page or two, recently.
Separate names with a comma.

PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 Big SKY Country IE SALISH/pfeND D'ORIELLE¿ >(3T VOLUME 10 NUMBER X/9 NEW MOON OF BANDS SPREAD ALL OVER FEBRUARY 1,1981 Thumbs up' for pristine air, the crowd seemed to say Well over 100 people showed up to take part in, or just watch the Tribes' air quality re-designation public hearing on Thursday, January 15, making it one of the best attended tribal meetings ever. Of the several dozen who gave testimony, only a handful opposed Class I; the majority were in favor of adopting the tougher standards. Tribal attorney Evelyn Stevenson acted as hearing officer. Only four councilmen served with her on the panel: Bearhead Swaney, who also happens to be the air quality office director, Joe McDonald, John McClure and Vic Stinger. The rest of the Council was in Billings. Phil Tourangeau from the University of Montana also served on the panel at the air quality department's invitation. The hearing was called so the public could contribute to the Class I re-designation process - either for or against — by written or spoken testimony, to help the Tribal Council decide whether or not to "go for it". Testimony came from several Montana counties and all facets of the public and private sectors — elected public officials, EPA representatives, federal land managers and other federal officers, governmental representatives (tribal, state and local) and just plain folks. Fred Kupke comes home More than a year ago, we ran a brief item about one Frederick Lee Kupke, a 32-year-old Kiowa Indian, who was one of 52 Americans being illegally detained in Teheran, Iran, since November 4, 1979. Despite a telegram campaign and the offer of 100 Native Americans as substitute hostages for the 52 embassy employees, Kupke and his fellows remained in the custody of militant Iranian students for the next 12 Vi months. A year and two-weeks after that item appeared, we're glad Continued on 3 In this last category was the manager of the Plum Creek lumber mill, who wanted to know how the new classification — when and if it goes through — will affect any future plans he might have for expansion; a member of M.O.D., who wasn't against clean air so much as he questioned the right of a 17% minority to decide what the 83% majority will breathe; an Arlee landowner who feared unspecified economic loss from pristine air and wanted to know who would compensate him; a bookkeeper ; a trout farmer; a U of M professor; and a world champion boxer. Complete details of the day's business are available at the Pablo Complex. Written testimony was accepted until January 23rd; this, too, will be on file. As we go to press, it's unknown whether or not the Tribal Council will institute Class I air standards of their January 30 regular business meeting. If they do pass a resolution to redesignate, the air on the reservation automatically can't get any more polluted. All that will remain of the re-designation process is review by the Environmental Protection Agency and possibly another public hearing. Unless EPA uncovers an error in the past almost two years' work, the reclassification becomes reality.

Vera Wang's Monochrome World
While Vera Wang is best known for her sumptuous, intricate gowns for brides and red-carpet denizens—including Chelsea Clinton, Charlize Theron and Michelle Williams—the clothes she wears day to day often toe the line between masculine and feminine, in neutral tones. The 100-plus employees at her corporate headquarters in Manhattan follow that monochromatic aesthetic.
"A bit of color in our environment can be distracting because we're looking at so much and it's sensory overload," said Vera Wang, winner of this year's lifetime achievement award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. "We dress people who are in front of the camera, but we're about being behind the camera."
"You'll see [color] maybe when the interns come in the first day and they figure out that everyone here is wearing dark colors,' said Erica Arkin, senior vice president of bridal. "They come into the fold eventually."
For Michelle Kessler-Sanders, executive vice president and creative director, black is just easy. "Fashion people are a little overwhelmed by fashion, let's not forget," she said. "At some point, you're just tired."
The Dress Code: Employees are expected to dress professionally, per their department's needs. For Ms. Arkin's team, that means an all-Vera wardrobe—and no jeans. "You never know who's going to walk in the front door here and want to have a business conversation."
Follow the Leader: "Vera certainly broadened my horizons, fashion-wise," said Priya Shukla, vice president of public relations. "I've learned a lot about avant-garde designers that I never thought I could wear like Comme des Garçons and Junya Watanabe. I've now started to incorporate that into my closet."
Licensing Vice President Lyle Maltz said he is disappointed the company doesn't yet offer menswear. "At the moment, it's just tuxedos."

A community which for years saw little new housing built within its city limits will soon feature a new subdivision. During Tuesday night's City Council meeting first reading was given a bill accepting the Breckenridge Estates Subdivision.
The new subdivision, on which Brad Peters proposes building one- and two-family homes, will be located near the end of Columbus Drive, west of Munger Lane and south of Stardust Drive.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of the final plat at its Feb. 28 meeting. The Department of Public Works and Planning and Zoning Commission endorsed the approval on Tuesday night, with the understanding that City Engineer Mark Rees has concerns regarding storm water runoff. Rees indicated he is striving to have a storm water retention basin included in the development.
In other business:
• Street closures from July 3 through July 6 were approved to accommodate the Kiwanis Club's 37th annual Samuel L. Clemens Arts & Crafts Festival in Central Park.
• The purchase of bullet resistant vests by the Police Department from Ed Roehr Safety Products was approved. Half the almost $5,800 expense will be paid for by the U.S. Justice Department.
• Two letters of commendation concerning the Hannibal Police Department were shared with the Council by City Manager Jeff LaGarce.
LaGarce said it meant a lot that two out-of-town visitors took the time to write letters of appreciation after returning home.
• A public hearing was scheduled at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 16, regarding the rezoning of property near St. Mary's Avenue and U.S. 61.
• The following Traffic Committee recommendations were accepted: A no parking loading zone, from 8 a.m. to noon on Sundays, at Oakwood Christian Church; a handicapped parking space at 2426 Market Street; restricted time parking signs at 900 S.

Lindenwood University will host a benefit Japanese Festival from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, April 15, in the Spellmann Center on the main St. Charles campus. The free event will feature demonstrations of Japanese cultural traditions to raise relief funds for Japanese earthquake and tsunami victims.
"The event is an opportunity for students and visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of Japan," said Michiko Nohara-LeClair, Ph.D., professor of psychology and event organizer. "Our students, faculty, and the many members of the community who are participating are looking forward to sharing their skills and talents in the hopes of helping those dealing with the aftermath of recent events."
The festival will begin with welcoming remarks by Nohara-LeClair, which will be followed by a performance by the Tozan Ryu dance group. Members of the audience will be invited to participate and receive instruction from members of the group.
Other activities will include balloon artistry, a spinning top performance, a children's playroom, origami and calligraphy stations, a tea ceremony, flower arranging, and martial arts demonstrations. Food will be served, and a variety of merchandise will be available for purchase.
"We hope everyone who attends has a wonderful time and gains some knowledge about Japanese culture that they may not have had before," Nohara-LeClair said. "We hope it not only raises awareness of the struggles of those affected by the earthquake and tsunami, but also generates a sense of hope and purpose and inspires people to help if they can."
Donations will be accepted throughout the event. All proceeds will benefit Japanese victims through the American Red Cross disaster relief fund.

Wells Fargo Eyes a Credit Card Push
Wells Fargo & Co. has the most retail banking branches in the country, and makes the most mortgages, small business loans, commercial real estate loans, auto loans and, among commercial banks, the most agricultural loans. It touts its ability to sell its existing customers more products. On Friday, it reported a record second-quarter profit of $5.5 billion.
So small isn't what the San Francisco bank is all about. But when it comes to credit cards, small is what Wells Fargo is. Tiny, in fact.
But CEO John Stumpf said in an interview Friday that the bank is making a big new push into credit cards this year. So far, 35% of Wells customers are using a Wells credit card, up from 31% a year ago, and the bank will make a push in the second half of this year. "We are trying to broaden our card offerings," Stumpf said. "We should double our share."
Given how profitable credit card loans are, the company's paltry credit-card business doesn't sit well with Stumpf, who has already taken Wells Fargo where no Wells Fargo CEO has taken Wells Fargo before. First, he pushed into investment banking—unthinkable even one CEO ago.
Don't expect the bank to bombard the entire country with a blanket of credit card solicitations. Stumpf said he won't push Wells Fargo credit card on non-Wells Fargo customers, despite rumblings among some investors that the bank is about to expand its card business beyond its own customer base.
But if you are a Wells customer and haven't gotten a credit card, expect to hear from the bank. Since nearly every Wells Fargo customers has some credit card, the bank will work on getting as many as possible to switch to a Wells Fargo card—and to use it.
Wells Fargo mortgage customers, for example, can get the bank's Home Rebate Card that generates rewards directly credited to the mortgage principal. Home owners have already paid down $50 million in mortgage balances since the card's launch in 2007, Wells Fargo said in May.
The towards more cards may also result in new banking relationships, said Chief Financial Officer Timothy Sloan said in the same interview. "As we broaden our product line and have a better rewards program, that may mean customers might come to Wells Fargo because they like the credit card," Sloan said.
But, he added, "that doesn't mean we want to create a monoline, one-product credit card business."
Here's what makes the business so attractive: The yield Wells Fargo generates on its credit card loans was 12.55% in the second quarter. A mortgage yields 4.23%, a commercial loan 3.69%, according to Wells Fargo's second-quarter earnings release.

In the second quarter, credit card loans at Wells rose 9.2% from a year earlier, to $24.8 billion. That's a lot of growth for the slow growing credit card lending business, but it's a small portfolio compared to J.P. Morgan Chase & Co's $124.3 billion card loans. Wells Fargo is among the most acquisitive banks in the country, and Stumpf has repeatedly said an acquisition in the credit card business could be in the, well, cards. "We will look at things opportunistically," he reiterated Friday about card deals.
Given Wells' size, analysts have wondered where the bank could grow to make a difference to revenue and earnings. Well, credit card "is the only consumer product where we have share opportunity," Stumpf said. "I can't think of anything else like that on the lending side."

STOCKTON - A man told police he was shot Saturday evening while walking near a set of train tracks in south Stockton, authorities said.
Officers were dispatched to South Airport Way and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard about 6 p.m. on a report of a person shot. They arrived to find a man bleeding from his right leg, police said.

News 12 First at Five / Thursday, Apr. 11, 2013
AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW) -- Right now, the Aiken Municipal Building isn't used for much. There's a couple offices upstairs, and the Aiken City Council meets up there too. But downstairs, administration and finance departments have moved out to a new building on Laurens Street. Now, the city is eyeing the old space for a new and improved events center.
"Well, I don't have an opinion or a position in either way, but I feel like if it's worked out well between the city and everybody else that it could be a good thing," says Van Smith, of Lionel Smith, Ltd.
But debate at Monday night's city council meeting put the brakes on the roughly $1.5 million project that would allow around 300 people to use the meeting space at once.
"There's a lot of needs in any community. That doesn't mean the city doesn't have to provide for the need," said Councilman Philip Merry at Monday's council meeting.
Some council members feel the city would be competing against privately-owned Newberry Hall, which caters for and hosts numerous events, and holds roughly the same amount of people the city's space would hold.
"Quite frankly, I am concerned we're starting a business that competes with the private sector," said Councilman Dick Dewar at the meeting.
Parking was also a big concern, especially since Newberry Hall, downtown restaurants, and the Aiken Playhouse already pull in dozens of cars on any given day.
"Suppose these things are happening at once, you know, and you got all those cars down there. What a mess that's going to be," said Mayor Fred Cavanaugh at the meeting.
Smith at Lionel Smith said parking is a concern too.
"There's always a concern about parking," he says. "There's never been a non-concern about parking. Everybody fusses about parking in Downtown Aiken."
However, he says it's better to have lots of cars than to have none at all. He says a bigger venue for events and conventions is needed. He just wants the city to study this option more first.
On Monday, Aiken City Council actually didn't vote to approve to advance the funding on this project. Instead, they voted to give City Manager Richard Pearce $15,000 to do a feasibility study to see if this project is even possible, since parking and the limited amount of space the building has could be problems.

Ok so I have a this thought going through my head. I read some where that your training should be based on the type of event you are planning on. So my question is if it is a mountain bike event would it not be better to be putting in long miles on the mountain bike trails instead of the road bike. I know that riding 100 miles on a mountain bike is a whole lot different then doing a 100 on the road. So in the base should you be doing mountain or road, or should you do road in base and then start working on those long mountain bike rides in the build section. Just a thought, was wondering what everyone else thought.
It's best to train in the actual discipline in which you will race - so yes, riding MTB for a MTB race will get you the maximum benefit. However, the most important thing is to train frequently, so training in other disciplines - running, swimming, road biking - will benefit your overall fitness level and improve your results. Especially if mixing it up motivates you to train more and better, within the limits of what your body can sustain.
I know for me, cross training keeps me motivated and increases my overall fitness. My running times actually improved when I started running less and mixing in biking and swimming.
I say you should spend 80% of your training on the road and 20% on the trail. I have a couple of reasons why:
- Look at the size of your rings on your road bike, and look at the size of your rings on the mountain bike. It take as lot more power to crank those big rings than it does to turn the mountain bike cranks. That power will pay you huge dividends when you get deep into your endurance mountain bike race. Put in some big miles on the road and build that engine. When you go to climb with your mountain bike it will seem easy, when you hit the flats and you can pop it into the big ring you'll find you will be pulling away from your competitors.
- You will learn to "spin" on the road and this habit will help you during climbs, during those long flat sections, and allows you to pull more speed from your efficent pedal stroke. Mountain bikers have a bad habit of mashing the pedals for a burst of speed or while climbing. If your goal is to complete, and compete in enduro races, you need your legs for the whole time. Inefficent pedaling and wasted energy will ruin your day.
- One of the problems with riding on the trail all the time is that it is much more difficult to learn pacing, and maintain a steady heart rate zones. With the hills and trail conditions changing you won't be able to get the most out of your time training. Long endurance days and Interval training on the road will help prepare you for trail.
- One of the other posters mentioned that you should spend a lot of time cross training. This is a good idea, but with most of our busy lifestyles, bike training will be your best plan. If your are training for a triathlon then running will be good. But running with poor technique will greatly increase your risk of injury. I race mountain bikes and do triathlons and have learned that cycling will really help your running, but running won't do a lot for your cycling that can't be done on the bike.
Do some core training, stretching, and some upper body work. A strong core will help ensure the power from your legs gets transfered to your pedals. Stretching regularly will be your best injury prevention tool. The upper body work is important because if you plan to do an off road century, your head feels pretty heavy on your neck and shoulders by the end of the day, your torso does a number on your shoulders, lower back and triceps, and your hands/forearms will feel like they never have before.
Most importantly, if your riding stops being fun, no training plan will be effective. Keep it fun.
Thanks for the info, it was just a thought that was running through my head. I do a crosstrain, running and weights, so I got that covered. I have to admit I love to mountain bike. I have found that I need to get on the mountain bike at least once a week during the base miles just to keep it fun and to remind why I am doing all thes road miles.
