Review: Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine (@Mollykatie112, @rachelcaine)
Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine
Series: The Morganville Vampires #4

The wait is over. dig into the feast...
In the town of Morganville, vampires and humans live in relative peace. Student Claire Danvers has never been convinced, though, especially with the arrival of Mr. Bishop, an ancient, old-school vampire who cares nothing about harmony. What he wants from the town's living and its dead is unthinkably sinister. It's only at a formal ball, attended by vampires and their human dates, that Claire realizes the elaborately evil trap he's set for Morganville. (less)
If I thought the going got tough in book three of this series, Midnight Alley, I sure didn't have any idea how even more tough things were going to get in the fourth book of this totally addicting series.
Claire is still sixteen-almost seventeen-and has just found out that her parents have moved to Morganville, something that really horrifies Claire. Here she thought they were safe in another part of Texas, only to have them move to what has to be the scariest place on earth. Scary due to the vampires that own the town, and pretty much everyone in it. As a freshman in college, Claire should have been exempt from learning anything about what is really going on in the town, just like any of the students that attend college there. Early on she learned way too much, and now is attached for the rest of her life to Amelie, queen of the vampires. And she's got the gold bracelet that doesn't come off, to prove it. It's all about trying to keep her boyfriend Shane, and her friends and fellow housemates Eve and Michael safe. But even scarier than that, is the arrival of her parents along with Bishop and his entourage of vampires to Glass House, Claire's home. Bishop and his friends don't have a drop of good or humanity in them. All he wants is to find Amelie-his daughter-and take Morganville from her. And he wants to use Claire to do it.
As with all of these book so far, I was totally drawn into the story and not let go of until I pretty much finished it. They are all novel length, but for me a really quick read. And that is due to the wonderfully realized characters, and of course the fascinating premise. Claire is such a good character, so loyal and giving, but at the same time a spitfire to say the least. Her snarky mouth gets her in trouble more often than not. Shane, her boyfriend, is hot headed to the extreme, with a mouth to match at times. He is also totally wrapped up in Claire and sweet to her, not to mention that he would protect her with his life if need be. Eve is Claire's snarky best friend-goth to the extreme-almost(probably) as a send up to all the vampires in town. Michael is a wonderful guitarist and owns the house that they all live in. He and Eve are a couple now. And oh yes, Michael's a new vampire. Myrnin, the ancient (and pretty insane)vampire that Claire is working with, is quickly becoming a main character and is quite the interesting character! In addition, Oliver, owner of the local coffee shop, and also a vampire, has a big part in all of these books. You never know if he is going to be good or bad at any given moment.
Well written, these books always have an event that each one is built around, at least so far. As the title suggests, there's going to be quite the feast and Bishop is the one doing the inviting. Not someone you would ever want to break bread with, to say the least-of course it wouldn't be bread in Bishop's case! That's not to say that other events don't happen, they do, but there's always a major one. Now that Claire's parents live in Morganville, Claire is trying to juggle life with them versus her life at Glass House with her friends, and all the vampires that keep showing up there.
As of this writing, I am half way through book 7, and I am still enjoying every minute of the reads. Exciting premise's, fast paced writing, wonderful characters, and of course all the snark involved, makes this a must read for me. They are just so much fun to read. Highly recommended to people at least age 15+.

Oh it's so good.I am glad you are enjoying them as well. I am finished with book 8 which I thought was the most exciting of them all and that's saying a lot. Now if I could just figure out why all the books are 6.99 and book 9 is 9.99 I would be happy-makes no sense especially for a series that is this old.
Another fantastic review Lorna. I love the pacing and the characters sound like ones I would enjoy!

text: This is not a bashing of the Bears, but rather an objective evaluation after 5 games. I think it's an accurate evaluation of the team - no "sugar coating" but it also doesn't go too the other extreme. There's only so much the Bears can do this 1st season of the Trestman era. We probably should be positive about the "work in progress" that we have, but realize we need another off-season of some player upgrades. Trestman and the coaches will get better over the course of this year too. I just think we're delusional if we think THIS is "The Year" we are an elite team like the New Orleans Saints. I especially liked this from Hub: "We also have to acknowledge the offensive line still is a work in progress. It's better, but needs to get a lot better to play with the big boys."

The garages will be found in lot of places. The real estate households are common in the countryside and sub urban areas. In societies, the single detached dwelling has produced the cultural choice.
It is done for safeguarding the confidentiality and space. The existing home sales report will be available in every month. It is the indicator which pauses and it has a tendency to react after the advance rates get rehabilitated.
Over a period of one month there will be a financial indicator of existing real estate homes of both the charge and the quantity. The real estate homes will not adjust the size, shape and location.
The particular detached dwelling is the single family detached home. It consists of a dwelling unit and it is detached by the open space from all sides. All sides are alienated except its shed.
The real estate homes has large expanse of space and it will be comfortable. Resale value will be advanced in the family detached homes. Alterations can be made as per the needs and the development of house is also carried out.
The possible size of the real estate house will be limited based on the budget of builder and the local law. The real estate homes vary between the permitted influences and the geometric agencies. You have the responsibility to protect your own interests.
You must sensibly read all arrangements to make sure they accurately reflect your understanding. A real estate agent is capable to advise you on real estate matters only. If you need legal or tax advice, it is your accountability.
To consult a qualified attorney or accountant.The real estate housing can be modified by the remodelers. The remodelers are principally in agreement with manufacturers on the impact of lack of green knowledge for both the industry and consumers.
The real estate agents are connected with the suburbanization in many parts of the world. In the developing countries it is related with the gated communities. The complete space which surrounds the building will be secluded to the owner and family.
In the existing house additional rooms can be added and characteristically it will not have any management fees. The family houses need more amount of energy to heat in the cold climate. Based upon the climatic situations the buildings require huge amount of heat.
The external area to capacity ratio is high depending upon the ecological conditions. The energy essential is extraordinary and the lifestyle experienced is carbon severe lifestyle. The low density nature of the single family housing requires more land and it is useful for cultivation.
The real estate homes are further aware in the low income and high density areas and they are also inexpensive. If the buyer's agreement is finished, the buyer may choose to enter into a written buyer agency agreement with an agent from a different company. On the other hand, the consumer may select not to be considered by an agent of his or her own but simply to receive assistance from the seller's agent. Real estate managers must reveal all material truths that they know or should know relating to a property. An agent's duty to preserve confidentiality does not apply to the disclosure of material evidences about a property.

Lynas Corp shares dropped 5 per cent today as the WA miner was forced to renegotiate the covenants for a $US225 million ($216 million) credit line with Sojitz Corp because of its struggle to win approval for a processing plant in Malaysia to treat rare earths from its Mt Weld mine near Laverton.
At the close, shares in Lynas were down 5 per cent, 4 cents, to 75.5 cents. On Tuesday, they closed closed down 8 per cent at 79.5 cents.
In its annual financial report, released after the close of the market yesterday, Lynas said it had been forced to renegotiate the terms of the Sojitz loan to push back the measurement of financial covenants - understood to include debt service coverage ratios and debt to equity ratios - for nine months.
Originally expected in the September quarter last year, political opposition in Malaysia to the plant delayed the issue of Lynas' temporary operating licence until early this month.
The plant has been ready to begin operating since May, but because of the delays is not expected to start processing until next month.
Even that date may be pushed out, with Lynas yesterday also announcing that Malaysia's Kuantan High Court had forced a temporary halt to work at the plant ahead of an October 4 hearing on an application from anti-Lynas lobby groups for an injunction to prevent the issue of the temporary operating licence.
It is understood the renegotiation of the debt covenants was necessary to allow Lynas to open an additional line of credit to provide working capital.
Lynas chairman Nick Curtis said early this month that the delays had meant Lynas would likely need extra capital to see it through to a point where it was cash flow positive.
Lynas has not yet said how much extra funding it needs, but its annual report disclosed that the new terms of the Sojitz loan would cap further credit lines at $US80 million.
In return for relaxing the covenants, Sojitz had also demanded temporary restrictions on capital and dividend returns to shareholders. Lynas has also agreed to a temporary rise in the interest rate on the loan, from the London interbank offered rate (Libor) plus 2.75 per cent, to Libor plus 5.25 per cent.
Lynas also has $US225 million in convertible notes with US private equity firm Mount Kellett Capital Management. But it is understood those notes did not include covenants preventing Lynas from taking on extra debt.
The Sojitz loan was to fund construction of the second phase of Lynas' plant, which would take production to 22,000 tonnes of rare earth oxides a year from initial production of up to 11,000 tonnes a year.

Bourne's Montreal: Les Triplettes De Belleville Ride Again
July 6, 2013. Posted by Tim Wilkins.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM, FIJM 2013, Jazz Alive, michael bourne
Ten years ago, the song that won an Oscar came from -- I forget which movie in "The Lord of The Rings" trilogy. I also have forgotten the song that won, and 3 of the other nominees.
I do remember, with great delight, a song that lost but stole our hearts on the Oscars telecast: composer Benoit Charest playing "Belleville Rendezvous" from The Triplets of Belleville, an animated and quite surreal adventure about a grandmother and three other old ladies.
To hear Bourne's interview with Charest at FIJM 2013, click here.
The triplets don't look alike, except they're all grey and goofy, rescue a grandson -- a bicycle racer abducted by gangsters. Charest performed at the Oscars with the magnificent singer Beatrice Bonifassi and a band that included a percussively played-upon upended bicycle.
To celebrate the triplet's 10th anniversary, Charest returned to perform the soundtrack music live with a screening of the timelessly weird and enchanting movie.
Charest's "Terrible Orchestre de Belleville" was having as much of a hoot as the audience, complete with a drummer in drag.
And a bicycle. Upended.
Bourne's Montreal Moments With Lovett, Swallow & More
July 5, 2013. Posted by Michael Bourne.Add new comment | Filed under: FIJM, FIJM 2013, Interviews, Jazz Alive, michael bourne
There comes a moment at every jazzfest in Montreal. I'll be walking along Place des Arts, and I'll hear music that stops me.
Last year it was a trombonist in a college band, playing with a sound too deep and beautiful for someone so young. This year it was a singer singing "Skylark" on the outdoor Rio Tinto Alcan stage.
I walked around to the front for a look. She was young. So were all the players in the big band from the college Lionel-Groulx. About equally young women and men. All swinging.
I forget which Ellington song they played next, but I remember the sureness of the singer's voice, and I remember the handsome, bearded, 20-something tenor saxist soloing. I could hear him thinking through the changes. I could hear him, hear all of them, learning to know how. Another generation of jazz. All swinging.
Another Montreal Moment: Steve Kuhn, Steve Swallow, and Joey Baron played one of Swallow's hipper tunes, "Ladies in Mercedes."
"What color was the Mercedes?" hollered someone in the audience.
"I don't know," said Swallow. "I wasn't looking at the Mercedes."
One more Montreal Moment: Lyle Lovett played and sang quasi-country songs and quasi-bluegrass. He also explained the difference:
"Country songs," he said, "can bring you down." "Bluegrass," he said, "can kill you."

Alain Caron was honored with the Montreal jazzfest's Oscar Peterson Award, a lifetime achievement award honoring a Canadian artist. He's the first musician to be honored twice.
In the 70's and 80's, Caron played electric bass in a very popular Quebecois jazz/rock power trio called Uzeb.
They were honored with the OP Award as a group in 1972, and played their farewell concert on the festival's biggest outdoor stage back then, the first of the festival's Grands Evenements that I attended.
I remember the group blasting into the night as tens of thousands of festgoers rocked the street.
Alain Caron blasted again at the Gesu -- although he always looked so calm, meandering casually around the stage while the band blew the roof off.
I can't remember a concert so loud (without being deafening) and so rocking at the Gesu. Something to do with musical dynamics, not the artifice of rock volume.
Caron's tunes have solid hooks, and his drummer, Damien Schmitt, is the dynamo. Playing two differently tuned bass drums, various other drums, and cymbals aplenty. Playing with staggering speed and sounding like a firefight of machine guns and cannons.
I pretty much lost interest in electric jazz/rock "fusion" -- or whatever it's still called -- back in the 70's, but live at the Gesu, feeling again the thunder of Caron's music was great fun.
"Jazz dans la nuit" concerts at the Gesu have been a festival of wonderful trios, and especially superb drummers. Bill Stewart with Peter Bernstein and Larry Goldings. Justin Faulkner with Jacky Terrasson. Dave King with The Bad Plus. Joey Baron with Steve Swallow and Steve Kuhn.
All trios that play beyond the ancient concept of a pianist playing the lead with the bassist walking harmony and the drummer keeping time. Each of these trios uniquely created together a fourth musical presence. Drummers were melodic. Bassists played the lead sometimes. Pianists whipped up some grooves.
I especially enjoyed Joey Baron, playing quietly, quickly, tunefully, every which way, always with a smile. Joey said he's happy playing with masters like Swallow and Kuhn. The Steves were as inspired by Joey. Kuhn's "Oceans in the Sky" was a symphonic whirlwind. Kuhn's "The Zoo" was a charming encore.

This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/703,468 entitled "MANIPULATABLE DELIVERY CATHETER FOR OCCLUSIVE DEVICES (II)" filed Oct. 31, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,482,221, which is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/643,085 entitled "MANIPULATABLE DELIVERY CATHETER FOR OCCLUSIVE DEVICES" filed Aug. 21, 2000 now U.S. Pat. No. 6,726,700, each of which is now pending and incorporated by reference in their entirety.
This invention is in the general field of surgical instruments and is specifically a catheter having a flexible, proximally-manipulated hinge region. The inventive catheter may include a balloon. The catheter may have a shaft of varying flexibility which contains several lumen. The inner, or delivery, lumen generally may be used with a guide wire to access target sites within the body through the flexible, small diameter vessels of the body. The delivery lumen may be also used for placement of occlusive materials, e.g., in an aneurysm. Inflation of the optional micro-balloon, located near the distal tip of the catheter, is effected using the inflation lumen. The push/pull wire tubing contains a wire, which when manipulated, flexes the catheter's distal tip.
Endovascular therapy has been used to treat different conditions, such treatments including control of internal bleeding, occlusion of blood supply to tumors, and occlusion of aneurysm. Often the target site of the malady is difficult to reach. Because of their ability to access remote regions of the human body and deliver diagnostic or therapeutic agents, catheters are increasingly becoming components of endovascular therapies. Vascular catheters may be introduced into large arteries, such as those in the groin or in the neck, and then pass through narrowing regions of the arterial system until the catheter's distal tip reaches the selected delivery site. To be properly utilized, catheters are often stiffer at their proximal end to allow the pushing and manipulation of the catheter as it progresses through the body but sufficiently flexible at the distal end to allow passage of the catheter tip through the body's blood vessels without causing significant trauma to the vessel or surrounding tissue.
Microcatheters, such as those shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,884,579 and 4,739,768, each to Engleson, allow navigation through the body's tortuous vasculature to access such remote sites as the liver and the arteries of the brain. Although other methods of causing a catheter to proceed through the human vasculature exist (e.g., flow directed catheters), a guidewire-aided catheter is considered to be both quicker and more accurate than other procedures. Catheters with deflectable or variable stiffness distal ends (which increase the flexibility of the catheter's distal end) have been disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,083,222, to Klein et al; U.S. Pat. No. 4,983,169, to Furukawa; U.S. Pat. No. 5,499,973, Saab; and U.S. Pat. No. 5,911,715, to Berg et al.
The addition of a fluid-expandable balloon on the distal end of the catheter and a coupler on the proximal end allows various percutaneous medical treatments such as pressure monitoring, cardiac output and flow monitoring, angioplasty, artificial vaso-occlusion, and cardiac support. Balloon catheters generally include a lumen that extends from the proximal end and provides fluid to the balloon for inflation. Examples of balloon catheters are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,813,934 to Engleson et al and U.S. Pat. No. 5, 437,632 to Engelson et al. A balloon catheter with an adjustable shaft is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,968,012, to Ren et al.
For certain vascular malformations and aneurysms, it may be desirable to create an endovascular occlusion at the treatment site. A catheter is typically used to place a vaso-occlusive device or agent within the vasculature of the body either to block the flow of blood through a vessel by forming an embolus or to form such an embolus within an aneurysm stemming from the vessel. Formation of an embolus may also involve the injection of a fluid embolic agent such as microfibrillar collagen, Silastic beads, or polymeric resins such as cyanoacrylate. Ideally, the embolizing agent adapts itself to the irregular shape of the internal walls of the malformation or aneurysm. Inadvertent embolism due to an inability to contain the fluid agent within the aneurysm is one risk which may occur when using fluid embolic agents.
Mechanical vaso-occlusive devices may also be used for embolus formation. A commonly used vaso-occlusive device is a wire coil or braid which may be introduced through a delivery catheter in a stretched linear form and which assumes an irregular shape upon discharge of the device from the end of the catheter to fill an open space such as an aneurysm. U.S. Pat. No. 4,994,069, to Ritchart et al, discloses a flexible, preferably coiled, wire for use in a small vessel vaso-occlusion.
Some embolic coils are subject to the same placement risks as that of fluid embolic agents in that it is difficult to contain the occlusive coil within the open space of the aneurysm. A need exists for a delivery system which accurately places the occluding coil or fluid and ensures that the occluding coil or fluid does not migrate from the open space within the aneurysm. The delivery catheter must have a small diameter, have a highly flexible construction which permits movement along a small-diameter, tortuous vessel path, have a flexible method of placement to ensure accuracy, and must have a method to prevent coil or embolizing agent leakage.
This invention is a catheter or catheter section. Although it desirably has a balloon region located from distal of an inflatable member to proximal of that inflatable member, where the inflatable member is within the balloon region, it need not have a balloon region or an inflatable member. The inventive catheter has a flexible joint region located generally in the distal area of the catheter, often within that balloon region. The catheter includes a wire configured to flex the flexible joint region. Where the catheter includes an inflatable member, the flexible joint may variously be distal of the inflatable member, within the inflatable member, or proximal of the inflatable member. The flexible joint region preferably has a flexibility of up to about 90�. The flexible joint region, because the catheter wire may be too rigid, may also be manipulatable in a circular direction relative to the axis of the catheter.
The wire may be slidingly held, e.g., within a separate tubing. This tubing may potentially be used to aid in adjusting the flexibility of the joint region. This may be accomplished by several different variations. One variation utilizes a wire tubing having collinear consecutive sections of decreasing wall thickness. Alternatively, the wire tubing may be tapered according to the desired degree of joint flexibility. The tubing itself may be a braided tubing which may be of varying flexibility.
The flexible joint itself may be, for instance, a coil member, perhaps having a section with a pitch which is larger than adjacent coil pitches. The flexible joint may instead be a braid, perhaps with a section with a pic which is larger than the pic of one or more adjacent sections. The flexible joint may also be made up of a polymer tubing with a section which is softer than adjacent tubing polymers or a region having a wall thickness that is thinner than adjacent wall thickness.
In taking advantage of the flexibility and capabilities of the present invention, a variation capable of twisting in a helical or corkscrew-like manner may be accomplished with or without an inflatable member or balloon region. This variation is particularly useful in traversing tortuous vasculature and in making difficult approaches to aneurysms. This alternative varation utilizes a wire which may be wound about the guidewire or inner tubing and fixedly attached. It is thus possible to wind the wire any number of times or just a few degrees off the wire axis depending upon the vasculature being traversed and the degree of flexibility or twisting desired. Moreover, different variations may be developed capable of twisting in a left or right handed orientation.
The present invention may also incorporate various rapid exchange variations.
The inflatable member or balloon may be of a material selected from the group consisting of elastomers such as silicone rubber, latex rubber, natural rubber, butadiene-based co-polymer, EPDM, and polyvinyl chloride or thermoplastic polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and nylon.
This invention involves a multi-lumen, catheter having a manipulatable distal tip and is for the delivery of vaso-occlusive materials or implants. The inventive catheter may include one or more distally placed balloon members. The device is shown in detail in the Figures wherein like numerals indicate like elements. The catheter preferably includes a shapeable, flexible distal section. The flexible section, or "hinge region", preferably is manipulated from outside the body during the process of delivering the verso-occlusive device or material. The terms "hinge region", "hinge", or "flexible joint" may be used interchangeably for our applications.
This variation of the inventive catheter assembly generally has several overall functions: a.) access through the vasculature to the brain (or other vascular site) often, but not necessarily, using a guide wire; b.) inflation of the inflatable member or balloon to close or to restrict an artery or the mouth of an aneurysm prior to or during placement of a vaso-occlusive device, thereby requiring a fluid pathway for inflation of the inflatable member; c.) flexion of a "hinge region" in the neighborhood of the distal end of the catheter by a wire extending proximally through the catheter; and d.) introduction of a vaso-occlusive device or material for eventual placement in the vasculature, thereby requiring a pathway or storage region for the vaso-occlusive device. These functions may be achieved by features found at the proximal and distal regions of the catheter.
The proximal catheter end 24 may be provided with a fitting 18 (e.g., a "LuerLok") through which fluid may be supplied to the catheter's inflation lumen through a side port 16. The proximal end of the catheter is provided with a second port 20 and a fitting 22 through which a push/pull wire may be used to manipulate the hinge region 32 in the distal catheter tip. The proximal end fitting 18 includes an axially extending port 14 which communicates with the catheter's delivery/guide wire lumen. The optional guide wire 12 may have any suitable construction for guiding the flexible catheter to its intended site within the body. The proximal end of the guide-wire 12 may be equipped with a handle 10 for applying torque to the guide wire 12 during catheter operation. The guide-wire may have a variable stiffness or stepped diameter along its length which typically, e.g., a larger-diameter, stiffer proximal region and one or more smaller-diameter, more flexible distal regions.
The distal portion 35 of the catheter is made of an inflatable member 30, typically a balloon, a hinge region 32, and an opening or aperture 36 for delivery of the vaso-occlusive device or material. This opening 36 may also be used for delivery of drugs and the vaso-occlusive device to the selected vascular site. The distal end region 35 of the catheter 25 is provided with an inflatable balloon 30 which, when inflated, aids in the placement of vaso-occlusive materials or devices by blocking the entrance to the aneurysm or the artery adjacent to the aneurysm.
The balloon wall section (discussed in greater detail below) is preferably formed from a thin sleeve of polymeric material and attached at its opposite sleeve ends to a relatively more rigid tube section.

Moreover, any number of cross-sectional arrangements described herein for guidewire/delivery tube 56 and push/pull wire tubing 60 may be utilized as well. Also, the arrangement of variation 218 for wire 62 may be utilized with or without inflatable balloon member 44 and is shown in
In wrapping push/pull wire 62 about tube 56, manipulation of catheter distal end 65 forces wire 62 to not only undergo tensile and compressive forces along its longitudinal axis, but also torquing forces about its axis.

Modification of the above-described methods for carrying out the invention, and variations of the mechanical aspects of the invention that are obvious to those of skill in the mechanical and guide wire and/or catheter arts are intended to be within the scope of the claims.
