- Abstract
- In this article, the implications of international students undertaking teacher education in Australian universities are discussed as an example of global teacher education and its consequences for teacher educators and students. Increasing numbers of international students come to Australia to qualify as teachers and this has consequences for the practices of teacher educators and also for the behaviors of the international teacher education students. The authors contend that the practice of undertaking teacher education in another country produces future teachers who are cosmopolitans who value diversity and embrace change and uncertainty, rather than producing fundamentalists who adhere rigidly to tradition and ritual truths. Drucker's concept of living simultaneously in global and local worlds forms a central element in the theoretical framework. Studying teacher education in global settings is seen as having positive outcomes and practical consequences at a number of levels.

Stroudsburg man accues of burning patient with hot iron
May 8, 2013 —
30-year-old Christopher Lein of Stroudsburg, PA is accused of burning 53-year-old Anthony Hannah three times with a hot clothing iron, while Hanna was a resident at the Keystone Residential Facility in Gouldsboro, PA.
According to a press release from the Pennsylvania State Police at Honesdale, the incidents happened on December 30 and 31, 2012, and Hannah was burned on his stomach, back and shoulder. He sustained third-degree burns and required treatment at a trauma burn center.
The injuries to the victim were not discovered until January 1, when another care taker was tending to Hanna, who then immediately sought medical help. The victim could not report his injury because he can not speak.
An investigation revealed that Hanna's and Lein's DNA were both on the iron. Lein is no longer working at the facility.
On May 6, an arrest warrant was served on Lein and bail was set at $75,000.

I think this post is meant as a joke, but it's hard to tell nowadays
I don't think it is a joke and to some extent I have to agree with him. London Broncos are not exactly in the pink, the skolars are a joke, ditto, crusaders, south wales and I don't expect any of the three 'expansion' clubs to be anything other than struggling on attendances of 2-300 within a couple of seasons. Gateshead are a bunch of whipping boys.
This whole expansion will, eventually, come home to bite RL in the backside. I have always thought it would and have never had reason to change my mind.

A daredevil surfer is believed to have broken the world record for the biggest wave ever surfed.
Brazilian Carlos Burle took on the monster 100-foot-tall wave -- created by the St Jude storm -- at Praia do Norte, near the fishing village of Nazare off the coast of Portugal.
While Burle's wave has not been officially measured, the previous record was set in 2011 by Hawaiian surfer Garrett McNamara, who rode a 78-foot-tall wave.
"It was luck," Burle told Surfing Today of his possible record ride. "We never know when we will be catching the wave. I still hadn't surfed any wave and everyone had already had their rides."
What's even more impressive? Burle accomplished the feat shortly after saving a fellow Brazilian surfer from drowning after she had to be dragged unconscious from the water and resuscitated, according to The Daily Mail.

ACT scores released today continue to show the importance
of encouraging all students to take rigorous courses -- often
defined as college-preparatory – that are aligned with
the Illinois Learning Standards, according to state education
The results for the Class of 2002, the first group to take
the ACT as a required part of the Prairie State Achievement
Examination, show that students who take the core curriculum
scored much higher than their peers with less than core. ACT
defines the core curriculum as four years of English and three
or more of mathematics, social sciences and natural sciences.
State statutes require Illinois graduates to take three years
of language arts, two years of mathematics and social studies
and one of science. Local school boards set additional graduation
"Rigorous coursework that was once reserved for the
college-bound is necessary for success in the 21st Century,"
said State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller.
"The Illinois Learning Standards establish those high
expectations for all our students."
"As schools continue integrating the Illinois Learning
Standards into their curricula, students will be getting more
of the advanced knowledge provided in core courses,"
Schiller said. "We will continue doing what we can to
encourage and assist schools in their efforts to help students
achieve the rigorous targets set by the Illinois Learning
As expected with the increased population of test takers,
a smaller percentage of 2002 graduates taking the ACT reported
having taken the core curriculum: 45% compared to over 54%
of those tested in the Class of 2001.
"Illinois students who took the core curriculum earned
an average composite score of 22.4, significantly higher than
the 18.4 composite score of those who did not complete the
college prep core," said Daniel J. LaVista, Executive
Director of the Illinois Board of Higher Education.
"We know that two-thirds of this graduating class will
go on immediately to postsecondary education and that within
two years upwards of 75 percent will be in college. When only
45 percent of the graduating seniors report having taken the
college prep curriculum, it is clear that many students will
enter college unprepared for the academic rigors of higher
education. We simply must raise the number of students taking
the college prep core. These test results reinforce the need
to seek legislation that will strengthen the high school curriculum
for all students."
Illinois and Colorado began requiring all students to take
the ACT in 2001 as 11th graders. This is the first ACT report
of graduating seniors that reflects the scores for that increased
population. In all other states, the ACT is taken only by
college-bound students who choose to participate at national
test sites and pay the required fee. Nationally, the number
of 2002 graduates taking the ACT increased just over 46,000
and nearly 40,000 of those increased test takers were from
Illinois schools.
Illinois' average composite ACT score for 2002 graduates
was 20.1, compared to 21.6 the previous year when the test
was taken voluntarily by those students considering college
entrance. The national average for 2002 graduates was 20.8.
"Thousands of students who had not considered college
as a possibility took the ACT as a required part of the PSAE,"
explained State Superintendent of Education Robert E. Schiller,
"and many of these students found they had college potential.
Opening these additional opportunities for future educational
and life successes makes it well worth the adjustment in average
test scores."
Prior to the class of 2002, about 70% of high school graduates
in Illinois took the ACT. Nearly all 2002 graduates took the
ACT as a required portion of the PSAE.

- XML filtering with XPath expressions containing parent and ancestor axes
- Author(s)
- Ning, Bo; Liu, Chengfei
- Abstract
- More and more XML data is generated and used for data exchange. In this paper, we address the problem of filtering XML documents with large number of XPath expressions, which may contain 'ancestor' and 'parent' axes. XPath expressions with these axes are more powerful and flexible for users to describe their interests in publish/subscribe systems. First, we analyze the characteristics of the 'parent' axis and propose a series of rules to eliminate it in XPath expressions. Then we propose a new index structure called NIndex, which is designed to efficiently store and index large number of XPath expressions. NIndex offers several features which make it especially attractive for the large scale selective dissemination of information, including the ability to handle complex XPath expressions with 'ancestor' and 'parent' axes, and efficient pruning. Based on NIndex, we design a new filtering algorithm with low complexity for our problem. Our experiment results show that our algorithm performs well across a range of XPath expressions and documents.

Financial Literacy Series: Behavioral Finance from Theory to PracticeMarch 19th, 7:00 pmCreekside Room
People are behaviorally wired to act irrationally and against their longer-term financial interests in predictable manners - why? Learn about how evolutionary psychology can explain why investors tend to "herd" into popular investments and why the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded to a psychologist, not an economist. Understanding behavioral biases is an important step towards becoming a better investor.

Caroline Gosselin PhD from Miner Heritage Farm in Quebec on 7/29/2013 show
Bill Taylor interviewed Caroline Gosselin PhD who directs the Ferme Heritage Miner in Granby, Quebec, about one hour east of Montreal. She helped save this historic farm near the city center from development and since 2008 has been creating an educational and tourist destination, teaching cooking and gardening to 6-12 year old young farmers and young chefs, and also teaching soup kitchen recipients how to grow their own food and food for the soup kitchen. Here is the interview:
The website for the farm is http://www.fermeheritageminer.ca/en/about-us/our-mission/ or in French http://www.fermeheritageminer.ca/. The site is a few years out of date but gives a good impression of the project as it was in 2011.
We briefly touched on the topic of Hugelkultur, or mound culture, used for many decades in Austria and many other places. One of the callers, Joanne Wildoak Cummins, said a relative has been doing it for 50 years with good results. We will cover this topic more in September and report on Jaye and Bill's trip to the Krameterhof in Austria (Sepp Holzer's permaculture farm) where a series of ponds, creative buildings and cellars, hugelkultur, and many other permaculture practices may be found. What makes hugelkultur interesting here in NW CA is the use of wood and branches normally burned in a burn pile as a base for the mound, with weeds, sods, and then clean soil and compost on top - keeping the nutrients on-site in a form that slowly releases rather than burning the energy portion (sugars) and leaving minerals in a water-soluble (hence erode-able) ash. Together with biochar (according to Amigo Bob from the Not So Simple Living Fair soil class, not yet proven effective), we can reduce destructive fire danger and sequester some carbon at the same time.

A Madison man sentenced to five years in prison Thursday is the sixth to be sentenced in a California to Wisconsin marijuana case, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Eissa Kazi, 23, was sentenced for possessing a firearm in connection with a conspiracy to distribute marijuana.
Prosecutors said Kazi distributed marijuana in Dane County, including on the University of Wisconsin campus. Police said a pound of marijuana, a loaded 9 mm semi-automatic handgun and $46,000 in cash was found in Kazi's residence.
Chad Ruenger, 34, of Waterloo, was sentenced on Dec. 19 to seven years in prison for possessing marijuana and using and carrying firearms in connection with a drug crime. Joshua Campbell, 28, of Madison, was sentenced on Jan. 31 to three years in prison for conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Daniel Frazier, 48, of Fairfax, Calif., was sentenced on April 24 to five years in prison for conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Timothy Frazier, 50, and Didrik Petersen, 46, also of Fairfax, were both found to have held "limited" roles in the offense and were both sentenced on April 24 to three years of probation for conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Daniel Frazier and Timothy Frazier are brothers.

What's making my child's skin so dry?
Babies and children can get dry skin just like adults do. In fact, because young skin is more delicate, it's more susceptible to becoming dry.
Cold, dry outdoor air and indoor heating can rob skin of its natural moisture in the winter. And if your child is prone to dry skin, he'll break out in dry patches in the summer as well, because the summer sun, air conditioning, salt water, and the chlorine in pool water can all be drying.
What can I do about my child's dry skin?
Cut back on bath time
Bathing dries a child's skin because it removes the skin's natural oils along with the dirt. But as long as you take a few precautions, even daily baths shouldn't be a problem, says Seth Orlow, director of pediatric dermatology at New York University School of Medicine.
Instead of a 30-minute bath, cut bath time down to about 10 minutes. Use warm water – not hot – and soap up sparingly. In fact, Orlow suggests using a fragrance-free, soap-free cleanser, which is much less harsh than regular soap.
Let your child have her playtime in the tub before you wash her, so she won't be sitting in soapy water. And don't leave the cleansing bar floating in the tub. You'll probably want to cut bubble baths out of your child's routine – or at least limit them to special occasions.
While bath oils may seem like a good idea, they can make the tub dangerously slippery, and most of the oil slides down the drain anyway. Applying an emollient (skin moisturizer) after bathing is a better route.
Slather on the moisturizer
Once you take your child out of the bath, quickly pat him dry with a towel, then apply moisturizer immediately. Applying the moisturizer within minutes of taking your child out of the tub will seal in the water that's still in his skin from the bath.
As far as moisturizers go, the general rule is the thicker the better. If your child's skin is still dry even with daily moisturizing, try switching from a lotion to a thicker cream or ointment. (Ointments are best at keeping moisture in the skin, but they can feel greasy. Just use small amounts and gently rub it into the skin. Creams rub in without leaving a greasy feel on the skin.)
You might also want to consider moisturizing twice a day – once after bathing and once during the day. If your child doesn't have the patience for a midday slather, you might let him listen to a favorite song or watch a video while you apply the moisturizer. Or, if he's old enough, let him do it himself, if that makes the routine more agreeable.
Don't let salt or chlorine dry on her skin
Chlorine and salt water can both be very drying. After a swim in the pool or ocean, rinse off your child with tap water, and then apply moisturizer while her skin's still damp.
Run a humidifier
If the air in your home is dry, use a cool mist humidifier in your child's room.
Keep your child well hydrated
Dry skin lacks moisture. Offer your child plenty to drink year-round to replace the moisture that's evaporating from his skin. (If your child is still a baby, stick with breast milk or formula for at least the first six months, unless his doctor advises otherwise. Read our expert's answer to "When can my baby drink water?"
Keep in mind that drinking a lot won't do anything if you don't moisturize as well. It's like pouring water into a bucket with a hole, says Orlow. Without moisturizer to hold in the water, your child's skin won't properly hydrate.
Protect your child from the elements
Make sure your child wears mittens or gloves in cold weather to keep her hands from becoming dry and chapped from the cold and the wind. No matter what the season, take steps to protect her from windburn and sunburn.

October 30, 2013 —
HIGHLAND LAKE, NY — International theatre company Theater Mitu will bring "Juárez: A Documentary Mythology" to NACL Theatre on Saturday, November 2 at 7:30 p.m. The performance is a theatrical exploration of a place in conflict and its mythology, created from a series of interviews, experiences and research in and around Ciudad Juárez, Mexico over the past two years. The play is created by Theater Mitu in collaboration with citizens of Cd. Juárez/El Paso, and led by Juárez-born and raised director Rubén Polendo.
As the model of post-national, global dynamics continues to advance, one city, Ciudad Juárez, has become the "Murder Capital of the World." Drawn by the vortex of questions within and around Cd. Juárez, Theater Mitu is creating a piece with and about its citizens; an exploration of, and collaboration with, their memories and hopes.
A key component of the presentation will be addressing material that by its very nature is bilingual. For the very first time in Mitu history, artistic director Rubén Polendo will engage in the performance, lending his voice and presence onstage. The company plans to experiment with the use of an onstage translation booth, with Polendo inside, to recount, translate and add personal connection to the Spanish language portions of the documentary material. Communicating with the performers via in-ear headsets and microphone, Polendo will act as an almost medium, channeling thoughts, voice and language through to the actors as surrogate for the Spanish-speaking representatives of the community.
"Strange, beautiful… lyrical… dreamy," said Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times.
Tickets cost $20. Purchase tickets online at www.nacl.org [1]. For more information, call Tannis Kowalchuk at 845/557-0694.

It can be hard being a lady in comedy, and that's not a recent phenomenon. Ovaries have long been known to sap our joke-making powers. In 1695, a famous playwright came up with what might well be the first "women aren't funny" line, only he said it in an old-timey way:
"I must confess, I have never made any observation of what I apprehend to be true humor in women ... If ever anything does appear comical or ridiculous in a woman, I think it is little more than an acquired folly or an affectation."
Andre Messager
"And couldst thou maketh me a sandwich?"
Over 300 years later, this sentiment is still all too common, just like other horrible things from the 17th century, like herpes and bangs on men. But I don't have any real dislike for the people who say it, because they probably don't think women are funny. In fact, even those of you who would never utter something so dickish out loud probably think it as well. And that's because, while women are just as funny as men, there are some scientific reasons behind why you think they aren't.
4 Girls Are Nurtured to Not Tell Jokes
Kamil Macniak/iStock/Getty Images
Laughter is so important to humans that we learn how to do it shortly after we figure out how to crap ourselves. Within weeks of birth, babies are laughing, even though they don't yet have the cognitive development to understand why something is funny. By the time they're 4, children are laughing about 15 times an hour.

Usually at fart jokes. Thank goodness we've moved on.
So kids will laugh at pretty much anything, but what about producing humor themselves? In a landmark study, one researcher found that women make the same number of jokes as men -- when they're children. But around age 6, something changes; the number of jokes girls make decreases, and it never evens out again. That's because, around the time girls start school, society gives them a joking lobotomy, so to speak. Think back to elementary school. You probably had a class clown, and it was almost certainly a boy. Boys are allowed to be loud and funny and play practical jokes and be annoying little shits, and girls are encouraged to act like little ladies. And ladies sit quietly and decidedly do not draw attention to themselves through loud jokes or pranks.

She just put the cat in there.
Which sucks, because it's just about that age that kids start to practice and understand wordplay and more advanced humor. So adult male comedians have literally been training for comedy their entire lives, while female comedians have been fighting an uphill battle since they were children just to express themselves through humor. It would be like if we as a society told girls that math was a "boy subject." Sure, some girls would grow up to be brilliant engineers, but in general the field would be dominated by-

You know what, that is a bad example.
3 Humor Gets Men Laid
Catherine Yeulet/iStock/Getty Images
When a woman laughs at a joke, the reward center of her brain lights up like crazy. The reward center is the part of your brain that makes you feel good when you eat chocolate or have sex or key your ex's car. So making a woman laugh results in a hugely pleasurable experience for her, which can lead to an even more pleasurable experience for you both (and nine months later to her least pleasurable experience ever. Use a condom).
Marili Forastieri/Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Wait, you're still laughing about my joke, right?"
This means that for tens of thousands of years being funny was an evolutionary benefit, and possibly a necessity, for men. Women were more likely to be interested in funny guys, so being funny meant your "pull my finger" joke could keep muddying up the gene pool for generations to come.
On the other hand, women don't use jokes to show guys they're interested; they use laughter. In other words, a woman will laugh at something she didn't find funny if she liked the guy who said it, but a guy won't necessarily reciprocate the giggles, even if he's totally into the girl with the killer knock-knock jokes.
Phil Fisk/Cultura/Getty Images
"'Inoperable.' Ha! That's a good one, Dr. McCutiepants."
This could be because men don't experience the same neurological reward response when they laugh at a woman's joke. Sure, they enjoy it on some level, but there isn't a biological impulse to make babies with the funny lady. In fact, it might even be the opposite, since studies show that guys don't want a funny partner. A poll of hundreds of men found that, while men want someone who has a sense of humor (so she will laugh at his jokes), most men aren't interested in bedding the next Tina Fey. Why? According to the expert: "When forced to choose between humor production and humor appreciation in potential partners, women valued humor production, whereas men valued receptivity to their own humor." Yikes, guys! The more we learn about men and their evolutionarily driven sense of humor, the more you start to sound like dicks.
So the next time you hear a man complain that women aren't funny, remind him that it's because men are pretty self-centered and egotistical in the humor department. Or don't, and cross him off your friend list for making the comment in the first place.

Reviews of this property
The apartment was clean and tidy but did not fit the penthouse tag in the advert. The internet and cable TV was available but the owner had not paid the bill so the service was continually interrupted by 'demands to pay' screens - it was annoying and 'tight'.
The access to the room and building was by key code which worked well but the lifts did not always work and in hot and humid hong kong the stairs were a furnace.
The building is well located to Causeway bay MTR and shops but it is very run down and not a pretty sight.
If you want to impress someone with a luxury apartment in HK with easy and carefree access - I would book somewhere else.
Our stay at iLoveIt! was great! We had expected it to be the top floor as it was advertised as PentHouse, but perhaps PentHouse has a different meaning in Hong Kong! Matthew always answered my messages and was helpful in providing transport from and to the airport. There was a Guest Service Manager to check us in and out, which was really helpful, as she showed us the apartment and how everything worked. Great to have free wifi! The apartment was described, clean and very comfortable, even for 9 of us. Keyless entry was a bonus and meant that each family member could come and go as we pleased. The pictures make the apartment look bigger than it actually is, but it is fairly spacious, particularly for Hong Kong. The location is great - less than 5-min walk to Causeway Bay station and right in the middle of the shopping hub of Hong Kong. I loved the bakery on the ground floor, where I got my breakfast buns most mornings! Being right in the middle of everything was convenient as we could pop back to the apartment for a rest before heading out again, particularly on the very hot and humid days. The air-conditioning in the apartment was well received! Would definitely recommend this apartment!

A gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the Pursuit of Happiness in America set in an addicts' halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are.
Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human - and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do.

We felt that it was important to make Infinite Jest accessible in the audio format as soon as we were able, and are gratified to find that there is an audience that has been waiting for just this occasion.
Some early listeners have been disappointed that the novel's endnotes are currently available only in text form, to be read. Choosing to include the endnotes as a downloadable PDF file, rather than as a recording by the narrator, was a difficult decision for all involved, and we debated different options at length before beginning production. The audio format allows us great opportunities to showcase Wallace's love of language and grammatical dexterity, to illuminate characters and their relationships, and to bring out some of the unique humor inherent in his work. However, there are also certain limitations to the format, and we needed let go of some of our preconceived notions about the form of Infinite Jest, as we must when we adapt any complex work to audio.
The compromise we ended up with was heavily influenced by practical concerns, especially those regarding the limitations of current technology. Because some of the endnotes are pages-long digressions, if we had them read in line with the main narrative, we would have run the risk of making the already complex story unfollowable for listeners. In the end, we decided the audiobook would flow best by having the endnotes indicated by number throughout the narrative by an additional narrator. However, we acknowledge that these choices may not work for all listeners. Accordingly, our future plans are to produce the endnotes as an additional, stand-alone audio piece.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your My Library section along with the audio.

"[A]n exhilarating, breathtaking experience. This book teems with so much life and death, so much hilarity and pain, so much gusto in the face of despair that one cheers for the future of our literature." (Newsday)
"[A] postmodern saga of damnation and salvation…resourceful, hilarious, intelligent, and unique." (The Atlantic Monthly)
"[C]ompulsively entertaining… one of the big talents of his generation, a writer of virtuosic skills who can seemingly do anything." (New York Times)
I read nothing that is popular.
"Thought Bubbles"
When I was asking my friends on what I should read next, they suggested "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace. When the book was first published in 1996, the audio version wasn't available and to be honest, I was having too much fun in the 90's to be reading. I remembered seeing this author in interviews and wanting to dive in this book. Fast forward to the present day, I finally got through this book and this is the best title that I've read thus far in the year. David Foster Wallace's humor is my taste of comedy, but his story about addiction and depression is profound.
I've read many books on addictions and how they overcame their problem by taking the steps, and even though the story of "Infinite Jest" is fictional, the characters seems to be more realistic with their addictions and depressions. If you are reading this review and thinking that this book is just all about addictions, I'm not doing justice to the novel.
Addiction is just one part of the story in "Infinite Jest." Somehow, the author incorporated most of the seven deadly sins through his characters. The sins aren't obvious while you are reading, but they should come to you once you get through the entire story. I'm not going to give examples from the book because I don't like to give spoilers, but DFW is a remarkable author.
It took me less than two weeks to finish the book. 56 hours went by quickly. Many of my friends said that it took them a long time to get to the last page. You really should form a group together to discuss each "Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment." It will help you decipher each chapter and it is the best way to understand DFW's writing.
While I was reading, my friends and I would have discussions of each main parts of the story and it helped me comprehend the entire concept better.
One of my friends mentioned that David Foster Wallace's storytelling is not linear with the traditional storyline. I happen to agree with her and compare his writing to David Mitchel in "Cloud Atlas." Both of their styles are similar to each other and want to draw me more to their other titles.
I don't remember characters' names in any books that I read. My mind doesn't pay attention to names. I see characters as figures on a spreadsheet, like A, B, C, and so on. In "Infinite Jest," the characters' actions are so bizarre that you can't forget where you left off.
There is one major flaw in the audio version. The endnotes aren't included in the audio and I can see why the publisher omitted them out. They are included in a pdf, but trying to listen to the story and scrolling through 98 pages of notes is hard to do.
Luckily, the listener can purchase the endnotes separately in audio. I will be listening to them after I finish this review because they are the most important part of the story.
This year is almost over and I've read my fair amount of titles, but "Infinite Jest" is what I was looking for to break up the same repertoire of subjects in my library.
I would recommend "Infinite Jest" to anyone where your thought bubbles are in a disarray like mine.
"*broken record* Footnotes!"
I was hesitant about undertaking Infinite Jest as an audio book. I had read half of the book and was finding it difficult to pick it back up and read. I started over with the audio book and I'm glad I did. Having first read half of the book I was able to ease myself into listening to it. I wasn't sure that the epic scale of the "story" would be able to exist as an audio book, but it certainly did. I understand why the footnotes were left out for the sake of the "narrative" but I found it difficult switching back and forth between the print and the audio. I agree with some of the other reviews that the footnotes should exist as a separate audio track to be switched back and forth.
Despite my frustrations with the footnotes I think this book should be required reading (listening)
"Pratt's reading is virtuoso performance"
Listening to Infinite Jest is an experience of hearing the work of a virtuoso performer. These 900+ pages include four-page paragraphs (3000 words) which Pratt reads in a way that keeps them engaging and fresh from beginning to end. The same can be said about his reading of the entire novel.
His accomplishment can't be fully appreciated without reading a few pages of the text while he performs it. I find myself listening to random selections from the download two or three times, and I enjoy listening to the words and sentences without concern about how the fit into something larger. I don't think I've ever done this with another book.
"Have actual book handy"
I had already read the book, but knew that there was more to enjoy. Audible did the trick.
Please, ask me which of my children I prefer. It would be easier.
Pratt did an amazing job with this very complicated book.
Let's not ruin the book by letting Hollywood have its way with it.
In a very imperfect world, this book comes very close to perfect
rather boring
"good if you already read the book."
I would recommend this to anyone who has already read the book, the lack of end notes takes away so much of the humor and plot nuances that I would be hard pressed to send a new reader to this audiobook, though.
One of many reasons IJ was difficult for me is the anachronistic chapter order and quick changes in tone. Where this audiobook excels is at being able to switch gears immediately between a chapter that describes in such agonizing detail the nervy feeling of withdrawal then switching to an amusing recount of a robbery gone wrong which in reading the book I had difficulty switching my mental voice fast enough to a chipper shade after being taken so low to find the humor in there. Some of the more difficult chapters (for me) were the soliloquies like Hal's gran'pa discussing the end of his tennis career with Himself or the early Ebonics ridden chapter about Wardine which are done very, very well and make these much easier to navigate and parse for plot points (I am surprised at the low narrator scores actually) and the Steeply/Marathe conversation, which despite being a perfectly natural conversation was hard to read naturally in my head (I tend to struggle reading things written in any dialect and we will consider 'drunk' a dialect).On the downside, keeping track of the chronology is tougher in audio form and lack of footnotes is painful (I bought the ebook and pause to flip over on my iPod to read the notes because I am nerdy that way).
To repeat, great if you've read it before but lack of end notes is severely crippling to a lot of what the book has to offer if you are a first time reader (though i can see if you are hitting a wall with the novel how the audiobook could carry you through and make rereading the book a total rediscovery since you would have some idea of plot and be willing to stop and smell the roses).
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"Removing Endnotes Does NOT Equal Unabridged!"
1. This audiobook is not unabridged.
2. It has no endnotes.
3. Endnotes are an essential part of this novel.
4. Understand the difficulty of including endnotes in an audiobook, but alas, if you are going to call it unabridged, it better BE unabridged.
5. Not sure if DFW would have allowed the endnotes to be stripped.
6. Frustrated.
7. Irritated.
8. Disquieted.
9. A little irritated about 2 credits (and did I mention no endnotes?)
10. Ibid.
11. "The challenge in editing David Foster Wallace was the difficulty of wrangling his prose and narrative structure, which were often purposefully peripatetic and disjointed (in the best sense of the word), without disrupting the writing's pacing or diluting its effect, which Wallace intended as a numbing overload to the reader's faculties comparable to the overwhelming 'constant monologue inside your own head.'"*
12. Crap.
13. "The following pieces were published in edited, heavily edited, or (in at least one instance) bowdlerized form." The "bowdlerized" piece, "Host," was about a right-wing radio personality, and Wallace was also frustrated by the abridgement of "Up, Simba," the story he wrote about John McCain's 2000 presidential campaign and, he insisted on publishing a web edition of his full article.**
14. There are options for including footnotes in audiobooks.
15. In 'Consider the Lobster' another DFW book the producer used a phone filter for footnotes (which ARE included).
16. Susanna Clarke's novel, "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell" (Audio Renaissance), recorded footnotes.
17. There is a great New York Times piece on the challenges of footnotes and endnotes (and pictures and maps) in audiobooks***
18. The same New York Times piece has a great quote from DFW in reference to his endnotes: "Most poetry is written to ride on the breath, and getting to hear the poet read it is kind of a revelation and makes the poetry more alive. But with certain literary narrative writers like me, we want the writing to sound like a brain voice, like the sound of the voice inside of the head, and the brain voice is faster, is absent any breath, and it holds together grammatically rather than sonically."
19. Claudia Howard, in the same New York Times piece argues that an "audiobook is a monologue that should be kept intact".
20. Another part of the New York Times article referenced above in note 17, "So single-minded is Mr. Wallace, who is 43, about how his work looks over how it sounds that at his first public reading in the late 1980's, 'I inserted the punctuation,' he recalled, adding: 'I would read a clause and say 'comma' or 'semicolon.' Or I'd say, 'new paragraph' and 'indent.' Now looking back at it I can see what a silent deal this is for me.' At one point in 'Consider the Lobster,' Mr. Wallace encounters an ellipsis and reads "dot, dot, dot," which producers say is verboten. "Part of it is I'm not an actor and I don't know how to trail off, and I become somewhat autistic about it," he said."
21. There is a great example in this piece showing how DFW handled endnotes/footnotes.****

"Omission of end notes gives me the howling fantods"
I do not understand why Hachette Audio would undertake the monumental task of producing Infinite Jest as an audiobook and choose to omit the end notes. I have been looking forward to this audio release for some time and I am greatly disappointed by this decision. Infinite Jest is an important book and a LONG one and anyone interested in investing 56 hours in it, I can assure you, is interested in the end notes. I enjoy Sean Pratt as a narrator. I appreciate the work that went into recording this book, and I truly hope Hachette considers an updated release WITH END NOTES.
"Awesome Half-Book!"
The book is wonderful. The reader is masterful. The endnotes are not there. Unless you count the pdf files. I listen to audiobooks while I work, which does not afford me the luxury of being able to stop and read each endnote as they occur in the book.
I am not a scholar of Infinite Jest. If these were your average endnotes I wouldn't care that they were missing. I listen purely for entertainment. But the endnotes are a huge part of this book. Who ever thought to remove them made a big big mistake.
I still enjoyed the book. But I'd recommend NOT buying it until this endnote fiasco is resolved.
Deeply frustrating.
Have you heard of Yngwie Malmsteen? If you haven't, let me tell you a little about him. He's a guitar player from Sweden who's been around since the 1980's, and is regarded by many people as one of the best guitar players alive. There have been times when I watched his videos on Youtube and have considered chopping off one of my hands because of how he reminds me that I will never be as good as him. But what keeps Yngwie from the ears of the average listener, and my hands away from the butcher's block, is that all his songs sound kind of... boring. Sure, he can play fast, and he's got cool hair, but his song writing skills are a little lacking. There are no hooks, no interesting melodies, or groovy beats. Just ridiculous arpeggios played at face melting speeds.
David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest is kind of like that. Just like Yngwie, Wallace had an understanding of his craft that was incredible. Like Yngwie's lightning-fast fingers, Wallace had a command over the English language that I'll NEVER have. The technical know-how of these two men over their respective crafts is mind-blowing.
However, just like Yngwie's song writing ability, I found David Foster Wallace's story telling ability to be lacking. When it comes to music most people would rather listen to Bob Dylan, who is, for the most part, a shit guitar player, but his songs are amazing! Similarly, I'd rather listen/read to someone like Stephen King, who's technical writing ability is fine, but his ability to tell a story far exceeds that of David Foster Wallace (IMO, of course).
I don't know. Listen to it if you've got a lot of time. Maybe it's better in written form.
"Amazing mixed with author's literary self-pleasure"
No. Unless they really want to delve in to the addicted mind and psyche in which case it is probably worth reading - the author's insights into AA, addiction, and obsession are keen and thorough.
I think that a good book should not need two reads for basic things like understanding key details. If you do want to tackle this book read about it first. You'll enjoy it MUCH more. It wasn't until a third of the way through the book that I figured out what "Year of the Depend Adult Undergarment" meant - that it was a reference to a year the same as "2016" might be (I have no clue if that's the corresponding year) and not some descriptive marker in one of the character's lives.
The cultural setting should be introduced in a way that adds to the story and character development. Not so that it detracts from it. DFW leaves out crucial details until later in the story - details you NEED to understand when you START the story.
The other aspect of the book that I don't enjoy at all is that a good bit of the prose is, from what I can tell, the author more or less taking immense pleasure in his own wit and writing craft. Given that I am not an author myself, I can't really speak to this in too much detail except to say that I could sense when DFW was going into "self pleasure mode" vs. actually writing a book.
One of the key tenants of good literature, in my opinion, is that no part of it should be able to be removed without damaging the work. Some parts of this book could be removed, and the work would be improved. Omit ---- needless ---- words.
Footnotes. Ugh. f you do some research, you'll discover that the footnotes are key for understanding the work, and more importantly from what I've read, you should read the footnotes as you are reading the book.
If this is the case, then the footnotes should be read (perhaps by a different reader, say, for example, that woman that keeps interrupting us with footnote numbers) in line with the story itself. Doing so would certainly not detract from the story organization, since the whole thing is chaotically organized anyway.
Some aspects of the story reflect DFW's sense of humor, which I do not like. I don't particularly find the wheeled legless Canadian special agents all that entertaining. I think it's kind of stupid, personally.
The author gets some technical details so far wrong that it is distracting. For example, there is one scene where the sun casts a shadow across two figures over a city from a mountain. The author describes how the shadow of the figures grows and encompasses the whole city as the sun sets. Thats... uh... not at all how it works. The sun is bigger than a person, just a bit, and a person does not at all cast a shadow on a city any more than a small satellite that passes in front of the sun occludes the earth. Details like that, which are missed, are distracting.
Lastly, the story is predictable. I had read about some kind of surprise ending. I found it to be totally predictable in pretty much every way after about a third of the way into it. The plot is unimaginative in this regard.
Yes, the reader was great.
Ugh. It would be SO depressing.
Do not read this book unless you might enjoy diving into depression, addiction, loneliness, depravity, and unless you have a deep love of well crafted but otherwise useless sentences.
"Almost perfect"
A treat. Brilliant reading of the most earth-shaking English prose in the last 30 (or more) years. David Foster Wallace is incomparable, and Sean Pratt's reading is dynamic and flexible - the only flaw being the end-notes which are not read, but which you have to read yourself (you receive a PDF-file when buying the audiobook). And yes, it's long, but it's well worth the time.
"Spectacular - don't be daunted"
This is what audiobooks are for - listening to great, daunting seeming books you'd never read. This book is spectacular. You can't expect to have the loose ends tied up, or to know what's going on half the time, but you can expect to be gripped and thoroughly entertained and to fall into a different world. Definitely worth listening to.
"A Real Epic!"
Downloaded this to listen to while I exercise and it's a real page-turner, so to speak! Definitely worth using a credit for, give it a go!

Vt. Gas pitches its pipeline plan to town's board
BRUCE EDWARDS / Staff Photo Eileen Simollardes of Vermont Gas Systems makes a presentation Wednesday to the Pittsford Select Board. The company wants to extend its natural gas pipeline to Rutland by 2020.
PITTSFORD Vermont Gas Systems made its pitch for extending its natural-gas pipeline to Rutland County, telling the Select Board here Wednesday that natural gas offers significant savings for residents and businesses and is better for the environment than either heating oil or propane.
The company has embarked on a three-phase plan to extend its pipeline south from Chittenden County to Vergennes and Middlebury, west under Lake Champlain to the International Paper mill in Ticonderoga, N.Y., and then farther south along the Route 7 corridor to Pittsford and Rutland.
If the Public Service Board gives the go-ahead for all three phases, Pittsford and Rutland would be on track to receive natural gas by 2020 15 years earlier than expected, said Eileen Simollardes, vice president, supply and regulatory affairs, for Vermont Gas Systems. She spoke before the board and about a dozen or so people who packed the small conference room at the town offices.
It could be a game changer for the area, Simollardes said.
She said based on current energy prices, homeowners would see a 50 percent reduction in their fuel bills using natural gas for an average savings of $2,000 a year.
The first phase of the Addison-Rutland Natural Gas Project from Chittenden County to Middlebury is awaiting Public Service Board approval. Simollardes said the company expects a decision by the end of the year.
The company recently filed an application with the PSB for the second phase of the pipeline extension. If that receives approval, the company would embark on a third phase to serve Rutland.
Simollardes brought along a map showing the transmission and distribution routes to Middlebury and across Lake Champlain to the IP plant.
She said the key to bringing the pipeline to Rutland is the IP plant, which will wind up paying $45 million for natural gas that will defray the cost of extending the pipeline south.
Because the process has just barely begun, she said no route had been selected to extend the pipeline to Rutland. Simollardes did say the route would likely involve a combination of utility right of way, highway network and open fields.
She said until transmission and distribution routes were chosen, it was too early to say how many people in town would be served by the pipeline.
Were in the business of selling natural gas, Simollardes said. Our objective is to put the pipe every place that we can, reasonably.
One of the expected users of the pipeline is the Omya Inc. calcium carbonate plant in the Florence section of town. Another potential commercial user in the county is GE Aviation.
In response to questions from the Select Board, Simollardes said a transmission line ranges in size from 10 to 12 inches, buried 3 to 4 feet, along a 50-foot right of way on open land with less right of way required along a highway corridor.
She said as the planning process moves forward, the company is encouraging input from the public.
Simollardes said the town would also benefit because the pipeline is subject to property taxes. She said each mile of pipeline has an assessed value of $2 million.
Select Board member Jane Cornell, who said she was a satisfied former natural gas user, asked whether the company had encountered much opposition.
Simollardes said that while there has been opposition, the project has enjoyed widespread support.
In many ways this project is really about choice, bringing a choice of a new fuel type to Vermonters, she said. People who are opposed to using natural gas dont have to use the product.
But Cornwall resident Bethany Barry Menkart made a lengthy argument against the pipeline.
I can tell you that there is a great deal of opposition to this project, Menkart said.
She said at the top of the list was the source of the fuel gas imported from Canada using the hydrofracturing method of extraction.
Fracking pumps water and chemicals under high pressure to extract the gas from deep underground. It has been blamed for polluting groundwater and having other undesired environmental consequences.
Menkart questioned the wisdom of building a pipeline under Lake Champlain and the environmental damage a leak would cause.
Menkart also argued that if the state wants to reach its stated goal of 90 percent renewable energy by 2050, building a fossil fuel pipeline that contributes to global warming with other environmental and safety consequences is a step in the wrong direction.
Is this something we really want to bring into Vermont and into our rural communities? she asked.
She also questioned what she called the abominable environmental record of the Canadian parent company of Vermont Gas Systems.
But Simollardes defended the companys record spanning several decades in Vermont.
I feel very confident about our safety record, she said.
If anyone doubts that record, she said, they should talk to lawmakers in Chittenden and Franklin counties.
As to cost, Menkart said that while Vermont Gas touts the low cost of natural gas, the company fails to mention the cost to convert an oil or propane heating system to natural gas.
Simollardes said the cost of converting a propane system is $200 to $300 with a payback of only a couple of months, based on savings compared with the use of propane. For a fuel oil system, she said Vermont Gas Systems rents conversion burners for $20 a month.
To replace a heating system, Simollardes said, the cost is between $1,200 and $3,000, depending on the size of the heating system. In that case, she said, the payback would be 18 months.
At one point, Select Board Chairman Allen Hitchcock had apparently run out of patience. He told Menkart she had two minutes to finish.
Board member Hank Pelkey followed up, adding: The board appreciates all comments.

I agree for the most part Schmoopy, just wanted to show some comparison. I do think if she did not want to do the cup Go Daddy would have been ok with that, but she wants it too. Plus maybe Tony thinks by getting her those laps it will accelerate her growth process. IMO Joey's biggest problem has been his dad.
True. like I said if I am a driver & someone asks me. "you want to run cup" My answer would always be #### yeah!!!
