From Vladimir Nabokov, the writer who shocked and delighted the world with his novels Lolita, Pale Fire, and Ada, or Ardor, comes a magnificent collection of stories. Written between the 1920s and the 1950s, these 68 tales — 14 of which have been translated into English for the first time - display all the shades of Nabokov's imagination. They range from sprightly fables to bittersweet tales of loss, from claustrophobic exercises in horror to a connoisseur's samplings of the table of human folly. Read as a whole, The Stories of Vladimir Nabokov offers an intoxicating draft of the master's genius, his devious wit, and his ability to turn language into an instrument of ecstasy.
This edition includes the newly discovered story "Natasha."

"Sumptuous . . . glorious." (The New York Times)
"Some of the most nape-tingling prose and devilish inventions in twentieth-century letters. . . . An authentic literary event." (Time)
"No discernable beginning or end to the stories."
I love Nabokov, especially his short stories, but this production stinks. You can't tell when one story ends and another begins, and I kept on finding myself zoning out while I was listening. For me, a very bad sign with an audiobook. I would happily try this again with another narrator and another production company.
I write for myself, for my own pleasure. And I want to be left alone to do it. - Salinger ^(;,;)^
"A Kaleidoscope of Nabokov Bábochkas"
In someways reading/listening to Nabokov's stories is like swimming in a turbulent river of all his great themes (doppelgängers, the creative process, loss, nostalgia for Russia, the individual, obsession, dreams/reality, etc).
While there were some stories that were masterpieces, the strength of this book really is the ability it gives the Nabokov enthusiast to easily see the development of a great writer from the early 20s to the late 50s.
One only needs to read 'Terra Incognita' to see the seeds of his novel 'Ada: or Ardor'. This collection is a must for those who adore Nabokov, but also an interesting introduction to Nabokov for those whose only exposure may be "Lolita'.
Here are the stories as they appear in this collection:
"The Wood-Sprite"
"Russian Spoken Here"
"A Matter of Chance"
"The Seaport"
"Details of a Sunset"
"The Thunderstorm"
"La Veneziana"
"The Dragon"
"A Letter That Never Reached Russia"
"The Fight"
"The Return of Chorb"
"A Guide to Berlin"
"A Nursery Tale"
"The Passenger"
"The Doorbell"
"An Affair of Honor"
"The Christmas Story"
"The Potato Elf"
"The Aurelian"
"A Dashing Fellow"
"A Bad Day"
"The Visit to the Museum"
"A Busy Man"
"Terra Incognita"
"The Reunion"
"Lips to Lips"
"The Admiralty Spire"
"The Leonardo"
"In Memory of L. I. Shigaev"
"The Circle"
"A Russian Beauty"

"The Vane Sisters"
"I highly enjoyed this"
I usually read nonfiction, but I also like some fiction. I read Lolita and loved it.
At first I did not like this for some of the reasons other reviewers stated: the narrator does not pause very much between stories; he just ends one story, announces the next title, and starts reading again. (But see my comments on the narrator below.)
But I stayed with it; and I'm very glad I did. There really is not so much time or reason to pause very long between stories. And soon it is not too difficult to notice when a story ends. Try to keep an open mind when reading this. Some of the stories are very short and often end abruptly. But once you get into it, you start to open your mind to the idea that many of the stories are just brilliant snippets of events, emotions, feeling, and deep and perceptive observations. They range from events which could have possibly happened to outright fantasy involving dragons and she-devils. But the characters are never conventional, and nothing in his stories is ever predictable.
This is some of the most beautiful writing I have ever read or heard. Nabakov has a deep and keen understanding of the human condition, and his mastery of the English language feels like great art. His observations of people, environment, place, and human fears, wishes, doubts, dreams, and fantasies are profound.
But I would not have enjoyed this as much, if at all, had not the narrator been up to the task of reading Nabakov. I discovered this narrator, Author Morey, from Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct (which I also highly recommend). Author Morey is one of the best narrators on Audible.
I highly recommend this download.
"Stories that can make one's day"
There are about forty stories filled with sounds, colors, wit, and enchantment in this audiobook. I love Nabokov's style of writing and had already read all his stories. Now I enjoy them in audible form and Arthur Morey's narration. It suffices to listen one story and the whole day will turn up brighter. This stories bring beauty and charm in everyday life.
This book tries to be a complete collection of Nabokov's short fiction, and thus includes quite a few of his early stories that are beautifully written, but that otherwise are not very good - undramatic, with flat, uninteresting characters, and perfunctory plots. Until he got to America in 1939 and started writing in English (he was forty) his stories are not very good, and a few years later he stopped writing short stories.
No. It has simply left me with a diminished sense of his greatness as a writer.
I don't know Russian, and so can't judge his pronunciation of words and names in that language, but I do know German. Since most of these stories are set in Berlin, where Nabokov lived when he was writing most of them, they have many words and names in German, and Arthur Morey mispronounces many of them. A better reader would have been one who knew both Russian and German, and could pronounce them correctly.
No movies, please.
Along with a great many of my favorite writers, including John Updike and Jeffrey Eugenides, I am a lover of Nabokov's work, especially his later novels, written in English -The Real Life of Sebastian Knight, Pnin, Lolita, Pale Fire - and perhaps best of all his superb autobiography, Speak Memory. This makes it hard to understand why his collected stories stood on my shelf practically unread for many years, until I bought the Audible version and started listening to them, while consulting the print version from time to time. But now I know why I didn't read them: it's because I don't like most of them. First off, the collection is complete, or nearly so, and arranged chronologically, so that his early efforts - from his mid-twenties on - are encountered first. These were of course written in Russian, and though they have been carefully translated by Nabokov himself in some instances, and by his son Dmitri in others, they lose some of the stylistic brilliance they probably had in the original. A stylist plays delightfully with words, and such wordplay is often untranslatable, as puns and other verbal effects are lost when translated into a different language with different homonyms, etc.
Secondly, they were written in a depressed period of Nabokov's life, when he was a poor refugee living in a Berlin that was itself struggling to regain its prosperity after the loss of WW I, and was preparing for Hitler's takeover. A dispossessed, homesick stateless person, he saw the sorry state of Berlin, and the sorrier state of the Russian emigres, in whose circle he moved, and recorded them accurately, at least in some of his stories. Joyce's Dubliners takes a similar view of sad existences, but Joyce was steeped in the history of his unhappy land, while Nabokov was merely a visitor. He sees many kinds of failure and discouragement in his fellow Russians, but is rarely compassionate. Rather, in the tradition, perhaps, of Gogol, a writer Nabokov greatly admired, he satirizes them. But satire works best when its targets are the well-fed and complacent. These characters of Nabokov's are more down-and-out than he himself was, and his ridicule of them is unkind and unnecessary. Even when his protagonist is not Russian, as in "The Potato Elf," he can't resist making fun of deformity - always a weakness in his fiction (Laughter In The Dark, for instance, recounts the sexual humiliation of a blind man).
This leads us to my final and greatest criticism.: Nabokov is cruel. Strikingly, his son in an introduction goes out of his way to argue that his father was inveterately compassionate, and never cruel. This I think must be in anticipation of the kind of criticism I am making, for Nabokov may have been kind as a person, but his imagination was invariably cruel. Time after time these stories create a character in order to steer him or her to some sort of failure or comeuppance, sometimes with a shrug of the shoulders - "what did you expect?" - sometimes with a surprise ending like those in de Maupassant and O. Henry - The Potato Elf ends with a heart attack that is merciful compared to the shock of further discoveries that awaited the midget had he lived.
There are brilliant passages of descriptive writing, in these stories, as one would expect of someone who at this time in his life was principally a lyric poet, but fiction depends on plot and character, not on lovely description. Eventually, after he came to America and started writing in English (his first English novel was Sebastian Knight in 1940) his stories take on more of the manner of his American novels, which are better than the Russian ones, if only because Nabokov continued to grow and get better as a writer of fiction. Also he became happier, and more secure. A late story, "The Vane Sisters" is a puzzle-story with a hidden meaning that the reader will probably miss unless he works over it like the Sunday crossword, but has a consoling message when solved. Nabokov eventually discovered how to create and mock unreliable narrators who embody his own flaws of cruelty, superiority, and detachment. He started satirizing himself, in other words, and this was a more fitting object of satire than the sad sacks who inhabit his earlier fiction. But then he gave up writing short stories, except as memoir pieces that he gathered together as Speak, Memory, which may come to seem, even more than Lolita or Pale Fire, his masterpiece. One of these pieces, a portrait of his French governess back in Russia, is probably the best story in this entire collection, though it is not properly speaking a story at all, and is even better when read as a chapter of his autobiography.
"Need an index to stories"
It's hard to find particular titles in the numbered sections which can be whole stories or parts. The narrator has a pleasant voice. I'm happy to see all of these Nabokov stories in an audible form.
I'm not sure. I'm taking a class where we need to find particular titles. It's a hassle.
I'd rate him as good.
Not yet. I may be forced to buy the book. Not every story in this unabridged work is interesting to me, although some are wonderful.
"Dissapiointing Narration"
Whilst Nabokov is brilliant, the greatness of these writings is undermined by the narration. Very bland and uninspired. Narration of dialogue is particularly weak, and with a series as long as this one, it made me lose interest very quickly. I doubt if I'll even both to finish listening to it because of this.
Sensational collection of stories but let down enormously by the robotic sounding voice which lacks emotion.
"Outstanding stories let down by reader performance"
I was looking forward to listening to these stories from the Master of English prose - unfortunately the reader has a mid Atlantic style which is a tad robotic and emotionless. After 10 mins this becomes irritating - after 20 it becomes unlistenable. Big shame!
I intend to return this purchase.

[edit] Better computer names
[edit] Summary
Maintain a user-friendly name for your computer in addition to the regular hostname, and use it in the user interface.
[edit] Owner
- Name: David Zeuthen
- Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
[edit] Current status
- Targeted release:
- Last updated: 2009-11-23
- Percentage of completion: 33%
The xdg-hostname service has been written, and we have a dialog that allows editing the computer name. Next steps:
- Package xdg-hostname
- Add the dialog to nautilus
- Add a read-only api for computer name(s) to GLib
- Use this throughout the stack: NetworkManager, vino, gnome-user-share, avahi, bluez/gnome-bluetooth
- Use PolicyKit to control editing privileges in xdg-hostname
- Make the installer set friendly hostnames
- Make the necessary configuration changes to have changes in xdg-hostname appear in /etc/hostname and NSS
[edit] Detailed Description
Computers need names in many different contexts. There's the traditional hostname that works for routing network traffic, but there is also the need to show computers by name in the user interface in many places: on the login screen ('Welcome to ...'), in the nautilus 'Computer' window, when browsing network shares, when sending somebody connection details for sharing your desktop, etc. In addition, it is often useful to have an icon that goes along with the name (we already support this in some fashion with /etc/favicon).
To make matters more complicated, the hostname that is used for routing network traffic may be 'transient', because it can depend on the network you are on at the time, and might change at unpredictable times.
Currently, we don't do a very good job of this. The installer/firstboot offer to set a hostname, but the default is 'localhost.localdomain'. We don't offer any way to change the computer name from the desktop.
David has written the xdg-hostname service to solve this problem. It is a small, activated service on the system bus that maintains the various names for the computer, and offers a dbus API to change it.
The client-side API that is currently included in the xdg-hostname repository will be replaced by a read-only API in GIO. The (few) clients that need to change the names will use the dbus API directly.
[edit] Benefit to Fedora
Working with multiple computers in a networked environment is a lot more user-friendly if these computers appear with consistent, readable names and icons everywhere.
[edit] Scope
- xdg-hostname needs to be packaged
- GIO api needs to be written and committed upstream
- The hostname edit dialog needs to be added to nautilus
- Various components need to be patched to use the GIO api for friendly hostnames: NetworkManager, vino, gnome-user-share, bluez/gnome-bluetooth, avahi
- Anaconda and/or firstboot should write out an initial configuration for xdg-hostname
Note that this page describes the changes in the desktop spin related to this feature. Other spins, such as the KDE or Xfce spins, can of course use the xdg-hostname DBus service, but they will probably require some integration work and user interface changes that are not described here. If people are willing to work on this for other spins, the scope of the feature can be extended.
[edit] How To Test
- During installation, verify that the hostname screen has sensible defaults for the display hostname and the regular hostname.
- After installation, verify that nautilus' computer icon has a name that reflects the display hostname set during installation.
- Enable file sharing in gnome-user-share and verify on another system that the service is advertised with the display hostname and icon.
- Enable remote desktop sharing in vino and verify on another system that the service is advertised with the display hostname and icon.
- Enable DAAP music sharing in rhythmbox and verify on another system that the service is advertised with the display hostname and icon.
- Rename the nautilus computer icon. You should get a hostname editing dialog that lets you set a display hostname, icon and regular hostname for your computer.
- Verify that the ability to make changes in this dialog is controlled by a PolicyKit policy.
- In the hostname editing dialog, change the display hostname and icon. Verify that this change is reflected in services that advertised via DNS-SD such as file sharing, remote desktop sharing and DAAP music sharing.
- Verify that changes to the display hostname and icon are reflected on the login screen
- Verify that changes to the regular hostname are reflected in /etc/hostname
[edit] User Experience
During the installation, the user will be asked for a 'friendly' name in addition to the traditional hostname. Ideally, both fields will have sensible defaults.
On the desktop, the nautilus 'Computer' icon will have a name that uses the 'friendly' computer name. Renaming that icon brings up the hostname editing dialog.
Services that are advertised over the network, such as file sharing via gnome-user-share, remote desktop via vino, music sharing via DAAP, etc., will appear with the 'friendly' computer name and icon.
[edit] Dependencies
- anaconda/firstboot changes would be nice to have, but are not central to this feature
[edit] Contingency Plan
The core parts of this feature are getting xdg-hostname packaged and adding the hostname editing dialog to nautilus. Beyond these, the rest of the feature is more incremental in nature.
The contingency plan for the core parts of the feature is to just not install xdg-hostname. Then everything should fall back to using the traditional hostname, as before.
[edit] Documentation
[edit] Release Notes
Starting with F13, Fedora system maintain a 'display hostname' in addition to the regular hostname. The display hostname will be used when advertising services over DNS-SD and when presenting hostnames in the user interface.

The co-producers of Hasee Toh Phasee - Karan Johar, Madhu Mantena and Vikas Bahl - have done cameos in the film and Parineeti Chopra, who has a lead role in it, says it was all in fun.
"He (Karan Johar) has done a cameo. In fact, producers Vikas Bahl, Madhu Mantena have also done small roles. It was just out of fun and play and they were sweet enough to say yes," the 25-year-old said here Thursday in an interview.
Meanwhile, Sidharth Malhotra, the male lead in the film, says although Karan and producer Anurag Kashyap knew the content of the film beforehand, they were amazed to see the final product.
"Both of them knew the content but they were still surprised to see the kind of film that has come out. Vinil has created a new world in his film and the comic scenes are such which invoke laughter on things that no one could have thought off. All this has surprised anurag and karan. So it's good when two big filmmakers like your work," Sidharth said in the interview.
Hasee Toh Phasee, released Friday also features Adah Sharma.
"All I saw was myself up there and I was mortified and my girlfriend was saying, 'I thought it was really great'. I said, 'Don't patronise me. I need to get another job. If I don't get another job and this comes out, I'm dead and my career is over'," he said.

My good friend Megan and I made "Mexican Pizzas" for the full year that we lived together on a very regular basis. They were simple, cheap and really satisfying – the perfect college food! Tortilla + refried beans + cheese + hot sauce all microwaved into a hot, cheesy mess.
I still think about those pizzas a lot (along with the fun we had as 20 year olds) but this time, nearly 8 years later, I thought it was time to class it up a bit. The tortillas are now organic and sprouted, the beans are black, salsa verde and fresh herbs are used along with grilled chicken and mozzarella cheese. A little more grown-up maybe, but still a hot, cheesy, satisfying mess.
- 4 whole grain tortillas*, about 10" diameter
- 1 cup salsa
- 2 grilled chicken breasts, chopped
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed
- 1 cup corn
- ¾ cup chopped red onion
- 1-2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tomato, diced
- garnishes: cilantro, sour cream, salsa
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Gather all ingredients.
- Bake tortillas for about 3-4 minutes until crisp.
- Spread salsa over tortillas and top with desired toppings.
- Bake for another 4-5 minutes until cheese has melted.

(ENI)The Roman Catholic Church and the National Council of Churches of Kenya have bitterly criticised the government of President Daniel arap Moi, accusing it of complicity in recent murders of dozens of people in Kenya's Rift Valley.
Those killed belong to the Kikuyu ethnic group, most of whom support the opposition Democratic Party which failed to oust President Moi's ruling KANU (Kenyan African National Union) in last month's elections. Because of continuing allegations of corruption and mismanagement by President Moi's government, the elections were a subject of intense interest in Kenya and abroad.
Many Kenyans believe that the Kikuyu are now paying with their blood for their political preferences. As well as the deaths, estimated at between 39 and 100 in the past three weeks, at least 20 000 people have fled their homes to escape attackers armed with machine guns and machetes.
The government has taken little action, claiming that the deaths are the work of cattle-rustlers from other ethnic groupings.
But Kenya's 22 Roman Catholic bishops have signed a statement, under the heading "In God's Name Please Stop This Genocide", vigorously denying the government's claim.
The bishops said the killings demonstrated a "well-orchestrated, planned and executed design of death that is beyond the capacity of locals".
In a statement entitled "The Butchering of Kenyans", the National Council of Churches of Kenya expressed its deep concern over the killings. The NCCK's general secretary, Mutava Musyimi, said reports he had received "point to" government complicity in some of the deaths.

What is biodiversity?
Biodiversity is simply the variety of all living things in an area, including species, genes and ecosystems.
The biodiversity of NSW is made up of all the different ecosystems that occur in NSW; the species that live within these, including animals, plants, fungi and micro-organisms; and the variation within each species' gene pool.
You're interacting with biodiversity every time you walk out into a national park or your back garden, eat a meal, buy a piece of wooden furniture or even take a breath.
How is it under threat?
Unique and vulnerable species
From the beginning of multicellular life on Earth, an estimated 30 billion species have occurred, but only about 0.01% of these remain today. It is estimated that up to 150 species become extinct every day. Australia has many endemic species: that is, species which are naturally found nowhere else on earth. These species are particularly vulnerable to extinction. Australia is also home to many threatened and endangered species.
Habitat loss
Habitat loss is one of the biggest threats to biodiversity. Humans are the leading cause of habitat loss, and population growth plays a major role as more and more habitat is cleared for urbanisation, property development, agriculture and industrial expansion. These land uses also create waste and pollution. Habitat can also be lost through environmental changes caused by natural and unnatural factors like drought, fire or changes to water systems.
Invasive species
Invasive species are another significant threat to biodiversity. In NSW there are 1,665 naturalised plant species, and more than 340 of them have the potential to threaten biodiversity. Naturalised plant species are plants that are not native to Australia but have been introduced from other countries and spread into the wild. Some of these naturalised species can eventually become invasive species if they become abundant enough to outcompete native ones.
In Australia, invasive animal species such as feral bees, foxes, plague minnows, and rabbits significantly affect biodiversity. These pest plant and animal species spread diseases, increase competition, and disrupt food webs.
Climate change
Climate change is a major threat to the biodiversity of NSW. It is predicted that it will change patterns of temperature and rainfall and alter the severity and frequency of fires, droughts and floods.
This can have effects on whole ecosystems, such as causing fragile wetlands to dry out. It can also affect individual species that depend on particular temperature ranges or moisture levels. For example, the endangered Mountain Pygmy-possum relies on snow cover to insulate it as it hibernates over winter. If climate change reduces snow cover, the possum is at an increased risk of freezing, starving or being found by predators.
Climate change is also likely to compound existing threats to biodiversity, by causing more extreme weather events, disrupting fire and water regimes, and allowing some invasive species to expand their ranges and compete for habitat and resources in new areas.
Why is it important?
Australia's unique species
Part of Australia's international appeal is our unique plant and animal species. Australia is home to about 7% of all species found on earth, which is more than twice the number found in Europe and North America combined. We also have more endemic and widespread species of reptiles than any other country in the world and more vascular plants than all of Europe. The Sydney region alone contains more plant species than the whole of Great Britain.
However, Australia's biodiversity has declined severely in comparison to other countries. Currently Australia has 58 threatened species of birds; more threatened birds than 95% of the countries on earth. Over half of all mammal extinctions on the planet in the last 200 years have occurred in Australia. The number of animals on the Australian threatened species list has increased by 37% from 2000 – 2009, whilst the number of threatened plant species has increased by 17% over the same period.
In NSW alone, more than 50% of mammal species and about a third of all native birds and amphibians are listed as threatened, along with 14% of plant species. Reversing the dramatic decline in biodiversity is a huge and urgent issue facing our society.
Maintaining a healthy biodiversity is very important in making Australia's ecosystems resilient to the many threats they face. Compared to areas with low biodiversity, diverse environments are genetically healthier, which prevents inbreeding and population declines. The greater the diversity of species and genetic material within an ecosystem, the better it can withstand and recover from damage. Conversely, because species and ecosystems are closely interconnected through nutrient cycles, food webs and across vast landscapes, even small interruptions can have a dramatic ripple effect.
Benefits to humans
Healthy, diverse ecosystems provide many benefits to society:
- Their nutrient storage cycles and recycling processes support local flora and fauna, purify water sources, and contribute to climate stability.
- As human population growth continues, food security will become an increasingly important issue. Less than 20 plant species currently feed the majority of the world's population. Protecting the diversity of plant species on earth is important to ensure that our food sources can be supplemented with other species if diseases wipe out current crop species.
- About 40-50% of pharmaceuticals originate from natural resources, and the earth's biodiversity is a vital resource for discovering more medicinal uses for natural products.
- At least 40% of the world's economy is based on biological resources.
- The cost to benefit ratio of investments in protected areas is estimated to be between 1 to 25 and 1 to 100.
- Australia's biodiversity is a large part of our culture. Industries such as tourism and recreation rely heavily on our unique landscape and iconic species.

Metaphysical Properties of Emeralds – The Magic of Gem Crystals
Zambian emeralds are characterized by a rich emerald green color with a bluish tinge and the color is present to the core. Not so with the Colombian emeralds where color is concentrated towards the outer crystal and core is relatively clearer.
Emeralds have had a great metaphysical meaning for centuries. The gemstone is regarded to work on the supra physical aura first and then heal the malaise therefore raising the vibratory rate of the body.
It is also known as the gemstone of truth with great powers of revelation. It is believed that no trickery, conjuring, spells, magic are able to work upon the wearer of the emerald. After all, Mercury or Hermes himself is the ultimate trickster, who was able to pull wool over Apollo's eyes! And with the power of Mercury himself, it is not possible to remain susceptible to anymore trickery.
Emerald is also believed to enhance the prophetic faculty or the ability to foresee future events – what in common parlance may be termed as intuitive intelligence is actually strong Mercury working its power. It is a gem that enhances arts of divination, clairvoyance etc.
The color of emerald – green symbolizing life, rejuvenation, fertility and hope is coveted not just for its beauty but for all that it can do for the wearer. Mercury is the planet of communication and hence can give a person great facility with language, creative ways and enthralling through speech. It can give structured thinking and the required calmness to do so, to people who have very high entropy/ restlessness and tend to get bored very easily.
Emerald is the birthstone of the signs Gemini and Virgo, which are ruled by Mercury.

Pub chain Marston's today warned that first-half profits would not match last year's because it had been hit so badly by the weather, but reassured investors that it expects to more than make up any shortfall in the second half.
The group said: "Snow and exceptionally cold weather throughout the UK in the three months to the end of March inevitably affected trading across our pub estate, and we expect to report operating profit for the first half slightly below that of last year."
Marston's made operating profits of £67.6 million in the six months to March 2012, and analysts today said they now expected this year's could be £1 million down on that.
This includes something like an extra £4 million in interest costs which the group had already disclosed.
However, Marston's went on to say: "Trading has started well in the second half, and we expect to benefit from less-challenging sales comparatives for the remainder of the financial year.
"We have opened nine new pub restaurants in the financial year to date, and anticipate opening at least 20 by the end of the year which, combined with the rollover benefit of the back-ended 2012 programme, will generate additional profit in the second half."
It also said it expected to make a further £3 million of cost savings during the second half of its financial year.
Mark Brumby of Langton Capital said: "Should the sun shine at any point over the next six months or so, there remains considerable upside."
The shares today climbed by 2.25p to 134.65p.

Fun blog! So glad Studio5 blog spotted you today! I love a good blog with some flare and cute kids. :)
Random.... is Lisa your sister or sis-in-law? I met her like 6 years ago when I was visiting my friend, who was nannying in CT. Lisa, Katie (the friend) and my self had a lovely night driving into the city).... Blurry but fun memory. I think Lisa has commented on my blog since then but maybe I'm dreaming. Hope she's doing well!
Sorry for the rambling. Darling family you have! - 10:22 PM
- that's what she said...
we do the same thing with our bookshelf similar to yours (except I bought mine from Walmart). This time every book is about trains (pretty sure he'd be okay if I NEVER rotated these books out). And I was just trying to figure out what our next theme would be...perhaps I'll do a mixture of Easter books and animals as well. :)

Arrayas, M. and McClintock, Peter V. E. and Mannella, R. and McKane, A. J. (1997) Current reversals in a ratchet driven by quasimonochromatic noise. In: Noise in Physical Systems and 1/f Fluctuations. World Scientific, Singapore, pp. 381-384. ISBN 981-02-3141-5
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Stochastic ratchets provide a mechanism by which noise acting on a particle in a periodic potential can give rise to a non-zero particle current. They can be divided into two classes. In the correlation ratchet, the essential feature is that the noise is coloured. In the flashing ratchet, the potential switches between two forms and the noise may be white. Thus both types of ratchet are nonequilibrium systems, and there is no contradiction of the second law of thermodynamics. An additional requirement for a net flow of particles in one direction is that the potential be asymmetric. One reason why ratchets are important is that they give a possible explanation for protein motors. A few brave souls have even speculated that the principles involved might be used in the construction of nanoscale machinery.

Britney Spears dressed up in a springy dress as she popped into Starbucks in Malibu on Friday. The US leg of her tour wrapped up and she has a few weeks to relax before she takes the show to Europe starting in London on June 3. She'll be bringing the boys and K-Fed along with her so she won't have to worry about missing Sean Preston and Jayden James. The singer has been laying low lately — although she continues to rack up some crazy expenses — and it's great to see her looking so tanned and fit as she goes about her regular routine.

Around The Web
Can we pleeease disable the Anonymous field? Anyway her appearance makes me feel sad for her and just convinced me to spend and hour reading fake tanner reviews then proceed to ebay and spend $30.99 for some Fake Bake and apply sunscreen this summer!
i can't believe brit's only 26/27 years old. she looks like she's well into her 30's and have been beaten up by the years. a Spa day is desperately needed! seriously Jen A. is 40 and still looks better than brit! very sad =(
she looks so tired....i also agree that maybe she just need to go back to louisiana and find herself again
is this britney??..is it hollywood in 2035 yet??..hahaha
5 straight anonymous comments eh? We all know it's the same person.
That dress is really cute though :)
Wow! That is so sad...she's 27 and she looks like she's Pamela Anderson's twin sister in this pic.
Wow, exactly what I was thinking. Very unflattering pic. Looks like she aged 10 years
Beat for sure, but the over bleached hair isn't helping. This is the life she chose.
Bitch is B-E-A-T!!!

Feel free to contribute general improvements! IMHO; we are a reference server. Cool stuff is nice. Backwards compatibility with older browsers is required. Style sheets handle this nicely. An original antique server or text browser can display the body, but style sheets allow us to accentuate without breaking any clients at all. Further, the text is 'legible' even with a screen-reader.

Landmarks around London have been lit up to mark the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's baby boy.
The BT Tower was emblazoned with the words "it's a boy" while the fountains in Trafalgar Square turned blue.
On the Southbank, the London Eye became red, white and blue to mark the occasion, while nearby Hungerford Bridge was lit up blue.
Earlier, a town crier took the steps to the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital, where the duchess gave birth, to proclaim the news.

Great location Our room had a lake view and was very noisy
Central located, complete breakfast, polite staff Really very noisy. They must change stone corridor floors by carpets as you listen to hard steps the whole night. It is not a 5 star hotel. More crowd and they run out of towels one night/
I liked the location which it was almost close to the mountains, Shops, Restaurants and cafes. The Gym was not bad. The room was not as i saw in the pictures when i booked it. the breakfast was abit poor and there was no table for me to sit, i just asked a guy to share his table.
Nicely decorated. Good location. Lovely lobby. Gracious staff. Beds were very saggy and uncomfortable. I asked them to put a wooden slats beneath the mattress, which helps a little bit. Slow Internet, which you have to be in the lobby to use
The location was very handy to everything - I liked yhe cappuchinos and the carrot/apple/nut/celery salad at the little downstairs lounge - our view of the mountains was lovely!! We had a laptop with us and thought the internet should have been free!
The view from our room was exactly like the photograph on booking.com it was beautiful you coulld sit there all day and look at the snowcapped mountains.
The rooms were clean , the staff very accommodating and good breakfast to start your day. The hotel was close enough to town with a short taxi ride or bus ride you were in the center of town. Will definitely stay there again. The only thing I would improve on would be to get the water pressure and temperature change in the shower fixed and maybe a little bigger television in the room.
Everything. It is well located, the architecture is incredible, the restaurant is very good. The lake view from the room and the pool is amazing.
Fancy venue but very unhelpful staff. And the place was far to hot - it had no air conditioner (and heated bathroom floor so this made the room very hot) Would not recommend this place to any one! Fancy venue but very unhelpful staff. And the place was far to hot - it had no air conditioner (and heated bathroom floor so this made the room very hot) Would not recommend this place to any one!
I loved the spa in the room. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The tourist man was very helpful in arranging a ride to Casis where we had a wonderful, romantic, delicious dinner. WEcappreciated his help. It made the evening so enjoyable. Our driver escorted us to the restaurant, and left his cell number with the staff to be called when we were ready to be picked up. Such excellence we appreciated. Thankyou. I enjoyed my one night stay.
This hotel lacks one thing.good breakfast cuisine. The breakfast was the poorest we experienced in South America and the coffee was awful
Great location, rooms, views, front desk people, travel agency inside and good breakfast. Thanks to Federico at reservations. There is only 1 person attending the whole restaurant for dinner, lack of service there. Cancelation policies are rude considering that you never know if aerolineas argentinas will fly or not...they cancelled 40% of flights
Excellent location. Extensive breakfast included. Lovely indoor/outdoor infinity pool, sauna, workout room. In room hot tub. Artistic mountain lodge décor. Very helpful, pleasant, multi-lingual staff. Great, reasonably priced dinning experience. Very quiet, peaceful, beautifully landscaped property. In our room the shower floor did not drain properly.
The room was excellent Some staff at reception seemed uninterested although efficient
The room view and the friendlyness of the waitress's at dinner
This hotel is all about the views and the suites. The staff was poorly trained in terms of providing good service and the restaurant at the hotel was poor quality.
we enjoyed the stay in this modern and very elegant hotel at most and hope for the hotel that more guests will use it. no negative comments to be made
The view of the lake, the friendly and helpful husband and wife owners on site, the facility itself and it was a one minute walk to the main street in town.
Level of service provided by Christian was excellent, nothing was too much trouble. His knowledge of English was very good. We had a nice bedroom but the bathroom was small especially the shower area.
nice room, fantastic view of the lake, very friendly and helpful staff, good wifi connection, good central location breakfast wasn´t brilliant
staff were very helpful and welcoming
Helpful staff, comfortable rooms, excellent location, and very good breakfast Would be good to have security boxes in the rooms
excellent location and view of lake. pleasant staff. nice breakfast nothing really
The staff was amazing in their hospitality and how they were friendly and openness to answer a lot of questions. Actually, they helped me a lot to organize my tour in Bariloche and enjoy it to the maximum
Great view of the mountains and lake, with a really central location. The room was nice and clean and the bed was really comfy, but the view was brilliant!
The staff was very friendly and helpful./The views from the hotel were spectacular and the location could not be better, right in town. The room was very small,it was ok for one night but not for any longer.
The owners of hotel were friendly and welcoming and helpful. The hotel was clean and during the evening/night heated to a good standard. The view from the dining room was stunning. The breakfast was poor and not really of exceptable standard. The bread (toasted) appeared to be slimming bread. There was no choice and no offer of extra coffee. I do not feel and one and a half cups of coffee per person is sufficient. A buffet breakfast would give choice.
It was excellent service, clean, good food, beautiful location. Good value for money The Hotel Drive way is terrible. It should be a paved
it was excellent
Extremely comfortable bedroom - lovely decor & quality furniture, bed, etc. Fantastic breakfast. Second best breakfast we had on our honeymoon (best was the Llao Llao). Fantastic value. Lobby and bar lack character but the rest of the hotel is amazing. Hotel is 2/3 kms from Bariloche town but the taxi spin is so cheap - only 2/3 euros.
Dining and local excursions
this is one of the finest hotels I have ever stayed at. The staff is beyond excellent and helpful this is a 6 star hotel! nolthing
The hotel is in a lovely setting with one of the best views in the area of the mountains and lake. It is located just on the outskirts of town and on the road to the mountains. We had a large lake view room which was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The hotel is set on top of a small hill with the hotel's pretty cottages spread out down the hill, then there is the road and then the lake. This was the quietest room we stayed in during our whole holiday in Argentina. The staff were very helpful and taxis arrived very promptly when ordered. We got taxis into town (about 10 mins). There were a lot of families around and the hotel appears very child friendly. We had to queue for breakfast one day. The food in the hotel was a bit disappointing. Service in the bar/restaurant was friendly but very slow. The hotel is modern and smart but it doesn't have the look or atmosphere of a luxury hotel.
I particularly liked the location of the hotel, not in the city center butclose enough to walk there. The seeting was very pleasant withlots of trees and flowers and a wonderful view of the lake and surrounding mountains.
The staff , general atmosphere and beautiful view No air condition and rooms get stuffy. I would give it a 4 star in quality, cost and services .
The hotel and the location None
The location is something to die for, especially rooms with the lake view. A simple housekeeping request took three separate inquiries to be fulfilled.
Location is great, stuff treat excelent and view beautiful. Restaurant doesnt have a menu to offer and they offer just two dishes, expensive.
Weloved the lakeside pool and sauna. Also nice view from our room. Also lovely bar with complimentary drinks on the first night. There was a funny smell in our room on the bottom floor.
Lake view Horrible restaurant
The hotel reception staff were very helpful. Panoramic views across the lake from the bar were very good. Decor of room was ok and better than common parts. The sauna was not very hot; the swimming pool was under repair; problems with wi-fi access.
This hotel is wonderfully situated on the lake. The room was luxurious and well-maintained. The staff are helpful and we would heartfully recommend this hotel to everyone!
The staff was excellent, very helpful. Everyone was very friendly. The breakfast was also very nice. The rooms were plain, but satisfactory. The bar was nice and cozy.
The view The service was cold, unhelpful, and we were given incorrect advice on numeruos occasions. Something as simple as booking a hire car - we had organised a booking through in advance - turned into a major drama, as they had booked it for the wrong month. We had to push far too hard for them to make dinner reservations, even when we knew it was holiday season and the restaurants were extremely busy or closed. Also, simple facilities that you would expect at this priced accommodation did not work, for instance the internet.
Near of the City and the Catedral Cerro Not have GYM
View from my room was spectacular. Open fire added a great touch. Totally not what I expected - name/pictures/star-rating suggested an upmarket venue in a very rural, isolated location. In fact, proved to be one in a hundred on an exceptionally busy road. I'd been slightly worried about dress code as I was on a hiking trip. No need for that - arrived late in the evening and thought I was in some kind of youth hostel... Advertised jacuzzi proved impossible to switch off (no instructions); the pictured view was actually in the other 'panoramic' room. The shower soaked the whole bathroom every time I used it. Having said all that, the view was fab and the breakfast (included) very good.
This was one of the most beautiful hotel rooms I have ever stayed in. The large picture window had a view of the lake from the bed. It also had a fireplace and large jacuzzi tub. The bed was comfortable, the room clean and beautifully appointed. The hotel staff was very accomodating and warm. This was a very romantic, honeymoon quality experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
The room and view was lovely, and the location was very accessible. Breakfast was huge and delicious and the spa and pool area were great. It was overall a luxurious experience to stay there and I would definitely recommend it if it´s within budget to spend at least one night here. Because it is out of town and we did not have a car, getting around would have been tough if we had stayed more than 1 or 2 nights. The staff was always very helpful arranging transportation though, and the main bus lines left right in front of the hotel so it was still manageable. Nothing to do with the hotel, just general traveler advice.
Art, room, location, view. No box of tissue in bathroom. Small container with 3 or 4 tissues in little box found on the day we left. Breakfast, bread was poor, fruit poor. One of the staff rude. We waited at least 45 minutes for empandas and a sandwich at lunch one day. Staff at main desk, friendly but not very professional.
Great hotel. Would stay there again!
Beautiful setting, nice facilities The hotel is pretty priey; also the "mountain view" rooms are larger than the lake views but have no view
The hotel was in an exquisite location on the lake front in a quiet area of Bariloche. It was away from all the school groups who had overrun the streets of the main town. We loved the hotel the staff were really helpful kind and attentive. Most of the staff spoke good English we recommend their spa treatments!
The helpful staff and extraordinary design I think I received a regular room and not a suite with living room and bedroom as was paid for - and I have written to you about it to check with the hotel - I was in room 109
the lodge has very small rommes the lodge has very small rooms
Attention to detail of staff. We stayed in on of the Cabanas. The standard was excellent. I find it hard to fault anything except maybe the comfort of the benches in the living room and the clothing on the bed may not have been pratical. But these are only small gripes.
The hotel had beautiful grounds with very comfortable rooms with lake views. The staff was very helpful and the food was good. We really enjoyed our stay.
the rooms are amazing and the view also spa is very good clean and good prices too many stairs
Very helpful and supportive staff, specially Luis. Comfortable and clean rooms. Somehow close to the city centre. There was some noise of refurbishment being done on the apartment above during the day, so we could not take a proper rest. Also, breakfast could have more options. Hotel transfer to city centre and/or to airport would be a plus.
We stayed in the Villa Huinid Hotel (not the Lodge). Nice, spacious, clean room. The hotel is at a quiet location, not too far from the city. Terrace with very nice view at the mountains and over the lake. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Excellent spa facilities and breakfast. The restaurant was not as good as the other facilities of the hotel.
The excursion on the bus. The pillows were hard; our room was right above a busy street; they tarred right in front of our door and there was no way to get out of our room without tromping through the tar; the good hotel restaurant was closed; the pool lounge chairs were hard as rocks; the pool patio was unkempt with weeds growing up through the tiles; no service on the deck. The room next to our "cozy bungalo" was used for storage old junk, which you could see.
The staff are very helpfull, the rooms are extremely confortable with very, very, very good beds. That was the best hotel I have stayed in my life! Nothing. That was so good.
Accommodations were fantastic and the staff even better! We loved our stay at Charming!
One of the best boutique hotels I have stayed at. Spectacular location,outstanding rooms. The owner,a charming man, leads a dedicated and very helpful staff. They also speak english. Stayed extra 2 nights.
Truly one of the best hotel travel experiences I've ever had. The hotel is beyond charming; quiant, contemporary casitas perched on a hillside overlooking a deep blue lake with breathtaking views of the mountains. The staff were very nice, friendly and went out of thier way to accommodate us.
The space available complimentary upgrade they offer and the friendly staff...have no qualms about staying there again or, indeed, recommending it The free Internet was erratic, they could use signal boosters for the rooms.
We loved the location overlooking Lake Nahuel Huapi. They upgraded us to a room with a terrifc view but it was below the restaurant and was very noisey! I thought the staff was not informative and a little argumentative. Pablo stood out for us and helped us plan our day trips best. Overall, it did not feel like 5-Star ammenities and treatment from the staff.
Nice new modern facilities with vistas of the lakes and mountains. Very spacious rooms. On a busy street, bring ear plugs if you are a light sleeper. Best if you have a car, its a 20 minute uphill walk from town
Extremely comfortable mattress. The location .. it´s quite a way out of town.
Staff very nice and helpfull. Spa very nice. Had a lift which was helpfull with luggage
great furnishings, helpful staff lack of wifi in rooms, lack of comfort at times
Great place to stay. Very nice, heplful staff and very good breakfast.
Lovely room and view Having to go so far to the restuarant for breakfast was a bit of a nuisance. We booked a double room but were shown to one with two single beds (ie what we would call a twin room). This appears to be a fairly common "language difference" in South America (no just at Villa Sofia).
Very comfortable room and excellent facilities. Very good value for money. Free tango show in the foyer whilst we were visiting. Excellent breakfast. Free wi-fi in rooms. Staff's English wasn't fantastic but then our Spanish is non-existent! It is a good 10-15 min walk from the centre which is fine except that bariliche has no side walk, we took a cab.
Comfortable room, easy walking distance to town, good lounge area, reasonable price for the standard of accommodation. Smell of cigarette smoke in the bathroom, light coming in through glass panels in and adjacent to the door, frosted glass panels between the bathroom and public walkway.
Staff was very friendly and helpful. It is NOT a resort as its name suggests nor is it "super"Its a regular 3 star hotel at best. Old and worn down . Photo on its flyer overglorifies it.
Central location, availability of free parking. Good and varied breakfast. Helpful staff Rooms and bathrooms could greatly benefit from some upgrading as they look a bit beaten and tired.

when it comes to detail and proportions, Kenner got it right on this
Sandcrawler. The detailing is very, very close to the original prop,
even if the scale is way off. If
you were to make a Sandcrawler truly to scale with the figures, it
would probably have to be at least 5 feet high and who knows how
Now, being the late 70's, many
of us can already guess how this remote control worked. No, it wasn't
sonic controlled like the special Landspeeder,
but it was one of those one-button remotes. The Sandcrawler went
forward in a straight line until you pushed the button, then it
reversed in a curve. It was simple and effective. The remote just
looked like a brown wand with some stickers.
could put figures in the "cockpit" (Jawas, I'm sure), and in the main
bay, which opened with a panel with built-in stairs. There
was also a manual elevator you could put figures in and push them
up to the main cargo area (like R2 getting sucked up in the movie).
Why should you own this vehicle? Five reasons:
1. Holy Hell, man - it's one of only two Star Wars Kenner vehicles that were remote control. Get it!
2. As far as Sandcrawlers go, this is the best one. It helps that the other one is only a cardboard background.
3. Recreate the Jawa/stormtrooper misunderstanding. Or "slaughter" if that term fits better.
Hmm, I want a Star Wars thing with an elevator, but I can only have
the Death Star Playset or this. What to choose, what to choose…
5. Scare the dog! Scare the baby!
Sandcrawlers were basically ore carriers (digger crawlers)
abandoned by settlers after the mining proved to costly and
inefficient. The Jawas adapted them for their own use
and travel the Tatooine deserts looking for usable junk, spare
parts, and other debris left behind by colonists or knocked out of

For the sale price, the jeans weren't bad for the money as they fitted well, but they would have been poor value at the full price (£60) as the fabric's much thinner than I was expecting, based on the photos.

A year ago I began, not knowing if my interest would continue or wane. And now, as I scan through the entries of this past year, I am so very humbled to see my life in front of me. There is more beauty in my days than I ever realized. To learn this ... such a gift.
The year is concluding, festive decorations tucking into bins to wait until next time. The cozy glamour of the season giving way to fresh starts and possibilities. I am excited, expectant, and always curious.
So. My three little birds. Here is a year of our lives for you. You are deeply loved by imperfect parents who are learning as they go. Grateful to Him for the gift we have in our family. May you look back upon these memories some day and smile. God is good.
It is good to give thanks to the Lord.

Censorship was one of many pernicious acts the Soviet Union inflicted on its people. While the days of throwing people into prison for holding a dissident pamphlet are (somewhat) over in Russia, Vladimir Putin's government is making use of a new law that blocks Internet content that it "deems illegal or harmful to children."
A report in the New York Times this morning said regulators asked Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to take down "objectionable" material. Facebook and Twitter both cooperated by removing flagged posts relating to suicide and drug use, while YouTube filed a lawsuit claiming a video on how to make a fake wound with makeup was entertaining rather than harmful.
The law kicked into gear in November in an effort to control child pornography, instructions or propaganda for drug use, and material promoting suicide: three pervasive issues among Russia's youth. It required Roskomnadzor, the state's media monitoring agency, to maintain a list of banned content known as the "Single Register" and make sure nothing deemed dangerous is accessible online.
Russia does not want to flat out block popular, global sites like Facebook and YouTube, which would anger its citizens and reflect badly in the international community. So far, regulators have only taken down content that was legitimately harmful.
However, Internet censorship is a slippery and expensive slope. China is the flagship example of country aggressively regulating the Internet in order to quash dissension, but 40 countries around the world practice Internet filtering of some some form. India is also grappling with the fuzzy line of censorship following various violent outbreaks fueled by online activity.
The market for Russian Internet companies is growing fast. Internet penetration is high there, and it has strong base of technical talent. Russian startups are sealing large deals with venture capital firms to accommodate their growth. If Russia hopes to continue down the path towards a vibrant Internet economy, it must be careful to limit all restrictions to content that genuinely is harmful, rather than controversial or inflammatory.
As Google chairman Eric Schmidt wrote in a Times of India article, the choice is between an "open Internet that benefits all or a highly regulated one that inhibits innovation."

Yamdrok Lake
Trip Start
Sep 08, 2010
Trip End
Migrating waterfowl resting on the improbable tincture.
Are there fish
in these waters? Yes.
Do the fishermen catch many? No fishing. Waters
Prayer-flagged mountain passes. Five-thousand metre headaches - they're the best kind!
Squat toilets in concrete stalls, rectangular holes in cut out of the
floor and shitty fingers wiped around the walls. Be careful of the
updraft. That'll be 1Yuan, please.
Mountains becoming mountains - snow peaked brilliant whiteness. Wind blowing snow off the sheerest faces into the bluest skies.
Temperatures once again soaring unreasonably. Strip off layers.
The optics of my sunglasses are so bad they give me a headache at the
best of times (thank you, TK Max). Here they are unwearable and I am
left to fend off the dazzling brightness by myself.

The F-16 Fighting Falcon is equipped with this version of the ACES II. It replaced an
seat used in the prototypes and early aircraft. This version differs from most of the rest of
the ACES II seats in the configuration of the main ejection handles. The F-16 and the F-22 ACES II seats use a center-pull handle similar to that of the Escapac seats. They also vary in the angle of the seat back to the seat pan which is more obtuse to allow for better comfort in the cockpit. The F-16 ACES II is setup with a seat back angle of 30 degrees to allow for the pilot's physiological response to the G-forces of combat maneuvering. (The F-22 is closer to a 22 degree tilt for the same reason. The large bubble canopy of the F-16 is stressed to resist birdstrikes and can not be effectively penetrated by the seat ejection force, hence the seat is not fitted with canopy breakers.

Structure-activity relationships of C-17-substituted estratriene-3-O-sulfamates as anticancer agents
Jourdan, F., Leese, M. P., Dohle, W., Ferrandis, E., Newman, S. P., Chander, S., Purohit, A. and Potter, B. V. L., 2011. Structure-activity relationships of C-17-substituted estratriene-3-O-sulfamates as anticancer agents. Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 54 (13), pp. 4863-4879.

The synthesis and antiproliferative activities of analogues of 2-substituted estradiol-3,17-O,O-bis-sulfamates (E2bisMATEs) are discussed. Modifications of the C-17 substituent confirm that an H-bond acceptor is essential for high activity; its optimal linkage to C-17 and the local environment in which it resides are defined. In the non-sulfamoylated series 17 beta-acyl substitution delivers 48b, the most potent compound identified to date. In the sulfamate series a number of permutations of linker and H-bond acceptor deliver excellent activity, with 55, 61, 65, 49a, and 49b proving especially promising. The in vivo potential of these compounds was explored in the NCI hollow fiber assay and also in a mouse Matrigel model of antiangiogenesis in which 49 and 55 show significant inhibitory activity.
