Re: How do you make Yorkshire Pudding?
Yorkies Pork Pies are available, but ony in Thailand as far as I am aware - no reference, but I know the eponymous Yorkie from when I performed their marriage.
We take our Pork Pies seriously in Yorkshire - and there are two annual competitions, very hotly contested to, to judge the quality of the pies.
There is the Great Yorkshire Pork Pie, Sausage and and Products Competition, run by the Confederation of Yorkshire Butchers Councils (There were over 300 entrants this year!
And there is the annual Charity Master Pork Pie Maker Competition, run by the Yorkshire based Pork Pie Appreciation Society (members meet weekly to discuss all thing pie related):-
Then there are competitions strictly for amateurs, such as the 'Men Only' Leeds Arms Pork Pie Competition in Scarborough:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire/con … lery.shtml
Then there is the Biennial National Food and Meat Exhibition at the NEC in Birmingham, where Yorkshire pork pies normally take the prizes in all pork pie classes.
http://www.allbusiness.com/marketing/ev … 143-1.html
So yes, up in Yorkshire we take our pork pies seriously
I've been known to drive 30 miles just to buy a pie - though fortunately we can get award winning pies just down the road in Brighouse from Jones the Butcher:-
There, there are also the Yorkshire Pudding Championships :-
http://www.spenboroughguardian.co.uk/co … 4554123.jp
(I'd love to share the winners Yorkshire Pudding Recipe with you, but its a closely guarded secret and rumour has it that if anyone steals it, da boys will be round to see to you )
A previous winner, Dorothy Gavin revealed her secret - �I use three eggs, the only liquid is water and I�ve never measured anything in my life � I just guess the quantities."
and even the Annual Yorkshire Pudding Boat Race:-
So - don't go sullying the good name of Yorkshire Pork Pies and Yorkshire Puddings by crossing them to produce a mongrel Yorkie Porkie Pie.
And a big line of smileys to say I'm not serious (although all the above actually exist.

Re: How do you make Yorkshire Pudding?
Just to let you know, Jamies yorkshire puds turned out PERFECT!! We can't get them here in NZ and since I lived in Gloucester for 10 years and have an English husband) It's great to be able to make these just as I remembered.
I think it also helped that the eggs were fresh out from under my own chickens

Re: How do you make Yorkshire Pudding?
Yorkshire Puffs
1 egg
1 cup milk
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Beat the egg slightly, add milk, flour and salt and beat briskly for 2 minutes, until smooth. Allow to stand for 1 hour. Grease 10 muffin pans generously with either fat from the roast or butter. Divide the batter evenly among cups, filling about one-third full.
Bake at 200c for about 45 minutes, until a rich golden colour. Serve immediately.

Re: How do you make Yorkshire Pudding?
This one works for us every time....
1 cup plain flour
1 cup beaten egg
2/3 cup milk
1/3 cup water
salt to taste
Pre-heat the oven to 230C/450F/Gas Mark 8.
Get a muffin tin or large roasting tin.
Put a large lump of lard into each muffin hole or the roasting tin.
Put the flour in a bowl and mix in the salt.
Whisk in the egg, milk and water a little at a time until it's all combined.
Heat up the lard in the oven until it's smoking.
Add the batter to your muffin tin quickly so that it doesn't cool down, half fill each hole (if you're using a roasting tin, tip it all in).
Cook for 25-30 minutes.

Re: How do you make Yorkshire Pudding?
I always ensure there is plenty of "air" in the batter (loads of air bubbles!) by giving it a brisk whisk just before pouring the batter in to the hot oil.
I also like Seasoned Pudding....just a Yorkshire Pud with added Onions and Sage....Yummy! Making one for Dinner tonight

ACPC chairman: High school, college, career no longer viable system
Going to high school, then picking a college major and relying on that degree through a 40-year career isn't reality anymore, the head of a gubernatorial commission said last week.
Institutions need get away from that model to create a system with "easily accessible on- and off-ramps," said Rob Wonderling, Advisory Commission on Postsecondary Education chairman.
So closing the gap between workers who need jobs and companies that need skilled employees will take a fundamental shift in how people think of education as much as it will take new policies or programs, Wonderling said.
Gov. Tom Corbett charged the 31-person advisory commission in February with listening to stakeholders, studying the issues and coming back with recommendations. It released its findings last week.
Among other factors, such as affordability and accessibility, the recommendations aim to improve employability of the state's workers for the jobs employers need to fill today and tomorrow, he said.
The idea of high school education ending and college or trade school beginning, for example, needs to be jettisoned in favor of more cooperation between tech schools at the high school level and community colleges, Wonderling said.
That's one place where recommended financial incentives, which are part of the commission's recommendations, come into play, he said.
If a higher education institution wants more money from the government going forward – and they all receive public support to some degree – it will need to retool toward this vision, Wonderling said.
Recommendations include developing this long-term finance and accountability funding model as well as creating tax incentives on the policymaking side to encourage businesses to support science and technology programs, according to findings released last week.
Wonderling, also president and CEO of the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, served as chairman of the commission, composed of 31 individuals from backgrounds that included education and the private sector, according to the release.
Its work included several public meetings across the state. The skills gap was an issue that came up again and again, Wonderling said.
There is consensus from the commission's members, who included representatives from a variety of higher-education institutions, that a model of constantly continuing education is necessary in this century to compete in the global workplace, he said.
The jobs 40-year-old workers will be competing for wouldn't have even existed during their 20s, Wonderling said.
Having institutions geared toward this system of "on- and off-ramps" is one thing, but workers must be plugged in and benefiting.
The primary focus of the commission was on the individual's experience in education, so a key recommendation is development of a "passport for learning," Wonderling said.
The government's role would be to set a technical protocol to facilitate a new generation of apps from entrepreneurial developers that could, for example, calculate what college credits a worker with 20 years of experience already qualifies for under a standard accepted by institutions of higher learning, Wonderling said.
That way, a student wouldn't be constantly starting from scratch to earn new degrees or certifications he or she needs, he said.

10 of the best Italian restaurants in Rome
One thing that should be eternal about the Eternal City is great Italian food.
But that doesn't mean pizza Napoli or pasta marinara every night.
These 10 restaurants range from a cozy trattoria through an experimental bistro to the city's most Michelin star-spangled establishment.
What do they have in common?
Not spaghetti bolognese on the kids' menu.
They're all highly regarded for the Italian culinary niche they serve.
La Pergola
He may be "a German in Rome," says the Michelin Guide of La Pergola's head chef, Heinz Beck, but his Roman and Mediterranean cuisine make him "more Italian than most of his colleagues."
Nice compliment, especially when accompanied by three Michelin stars -- more than any other restaurant in the city.
Eating here is as much a theatrical as a culinary experience. But the showmanship shows off the cooking.
Serving "The Sea," Beck's signature dish, a waiter pours a "wave" of seafood broth over a freeze-dried "rock" of scampi claws and potato, which then dissolves into the "seabed" of barnacles, white shrimp and Venus clams.
The oldest bottle on the wine list dates to 1888, and there's a water menu with 29 choices -- try asking for "the tap."
Dishes from €39 ($53).
La Pergola, Via Alberto Cadlolo 101 Rome Cavalieri, Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, 00136 Rome Italy; +39 06 3509 1

Antica Pesa
"One of Rome's most loved restaurants by the international jet set," is how the Italian food guide Gambero Rosso describes this chic trattoria.
Robert De Niro and Madonna are among the members of that illustrious group pictured in attendance on the restaurant's walls.
Apart from the opportunities for star-spotting, it's the subtly modernized traditional trattoria dishes that appeal at this renovated ancient warehouse.
The Monte San Biagio burger was created in honor of the restaurant's returning American clients; the roasted pork and mozzarella "millefeuille" with pear sauce is an intriguing meaty take on what is normally a dessert.
Dishes from €15.
Antica Pesa, Via Garibaldi 18, Rome Italy; +39 06 580 9236

Born in Naples but with a working stint in Tokyo, Imàgo's chef Francesco Apreda weaves Asian ingredients into his Roman and Neapolitan dishes.
Sake-glazed black cod, roasted pigeon with black tea and cappelletti pasta with smoked eel and cocoa powder exemplify his cosmopolitan and gently experimental approach to haute cuisine.
One of Rome's oldest luxury rooftop restaurants, Imàgo has a 360-degree view across the historical center of the city from its position atop the Spanish Steps as well as one Michelin star.
August former diners at Imàgo in former incarnations include JFK, Grace Kelly, Federico Fellini and Audrey Hepburn.
Imàgo's shining marble floors with antique wooden inlay, mirrored tables and soft background music create an elegant, La Dolce Vita atmosphere, with a hint of decadence.
Dishes from €33.
Imago at the Hassler, 6 Piazza Trinita dei Monti c/o Hotel Hassler Roma, Rome Italy; +39 06 6993 4726
Pipero al Rex
Meat-lovers, lick your lips.
But don't just expect juicy fillets to be thrown into your cage at Pipero -- you'll also get to try unusual meats cooked with subtle blends of spices, fruits and herbs.
The tasting menu includes raw goose with an apple and mustard topping, rabbit in boiled zucchinis, snails with garlic, lentils and whiskey and piglet served with a beer and cherry sauce.
Young chef Luciano Monosilia's sophisticated way with flesh won Pipero al Rex a Michelin star after only two years.
Dishes from €22.
Pipero al Rex, Via Torino, 149, 00184 Rome Italy; +39 06 481 5702
Addictive carciofi all giudia -- crispy fried artichokes, a specialty of Roman-Jewish cuisine -- are a big reason for the popularity of this quintessential osteria, a kind of Italian version of the tavern.
Set in the heart of Rome's ancient Jewish quarter with a spectacular view over the Porticus Octaviae ruins, this simple but appealing place is also big on atmosphere.
Those golden, round artichokes take some beating, but the cod croquettes and stuffed courgette flowers dissolve just as deliciously on the tongue.
Dishes from €14
Giggetto al Portico d'Ottavia, Via del Portico D'Ottavia 21/a-22, 00186 Rome Italy; +39 06 686 1105
Unfastidious food-loving Romans reserve a special place in their hearts for this laid-back, excellent-value trattoria.
Tripe, oxtail stew and marrow-rich ossobuco are some of the unabashed dishes on offer.
You'll probably also eat the best bucatini all'amatriciana -- the classic Roman pasta dish with tomato-and-pig's-cheek sauce -- in your life here.
"Just like you get at home," is Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera's accurate description of what Lilli, one of the dwindling family-run trattoria in Rome, serves up.
Dishes from €8.
Trattoria Lilli, Via di Tor di Nona, 23, Rome Italy; +39 06 686 1916
More on CNN Travel: Rome's best brunch spots
Restaurant Roof Garden
What makes dinner here special is not just the exquisite Italian and international food, but the panorama over the Roman Forum and the Colosseum.
It's arguably the best view of any restaurant in the Italian capital, including Imàgo's.
Changing every day, the tasting menu is strong on fish.
The tartar of Carloforte tuna, from an island off Sardinia with a tradition of trapping the fish, is served with a delicate avocado sauce -- sounds improbable but the two subtle flavors really complement each other.
Other specialties include risotto with langoustine sauce and salt cod with zucchini flowers.
Former premier Mario Monti and the French actor Alain Delon are said to be among regular diners.
Dishes from €19.
Ristorante Roof Garden Hotel Forum Roma, Via Tor de' Conti 25, 00184 Rome Italy; +39 06 679 2447
Tiny, recently opened Marzapane, with its simple black-and-white interior, is already one of the most popular experimental eateries in Rome.
Oysters topped with sugared ginger and vodka and piglet in strawberry sauce are among the dishes you can watch being prepared in the open kitchen-cum-laboratory.
You can get gourmet salads and sandwiches at lunch, tea with pistachio and ricotta mousse in the afternoon and salami aperitifs in the evening.
Dishes from €10.
Marzapane, Via Velletri 39, 00198 Rome Italy; +39 06 6478 1692
Fish Market
"The fish is affordable and zero-food mile. It comes directly from the fishermen's nets in the port of Anzio to the table," says Italian food and wine magazine Gambero Rosso of Fish Market.
To order here you line up, market-like, at the counter, where a net's worth of fresh fish is on show, write what you want on a piece of paper, pay in advance, then sit down to be served.
It's a fun and efficient way to dine and this trattoria is so popular it doesn't take reservations.
Set in the young, popular neighborhood of Trastevere, overlooking the Tiber River, there's a modern, Scandinavian-style design and a lively atmosphere.
Dishes from €8.
Fish Market Trastevere, Vicolo Della Luce, 2, Rome Italy; +39 366 9144 157
Vegans and vegetarians were long ill-served in the Italian capital but finally the vegetable is receiving its due.
Combining Italian cuisine with Asian and Middle Eastern influences to spicy, creative effect, Arancia (meaning "orange") Blu is one of Rome's top vegan restaurants.
You'll get egg-free mayonnaise with lemon and ginger on the avocado, almond and cumin salad.
Mustard ravioli and saffron and pepper trennette pasta are more experimental.
Dishes from €9.
L'Arancia Blu, via Cesare Beccaria 3, 00196 Rome Italy; +39 06 361 0801

Melo arrived with about 15-20games to go last yr and has been the player we traded for ever since.. Were doing this with Amare missing a ton of time, Shump missing a ton of time, and Camby missing time, and Wallace missing time, and Felton missing time..etc This team is not underachieving anymore, and there even more deep, which is good.. THey are finally playing how we expected the last several seasons...
ANd good for you, if u "stuck by melo" as u said.. I only care about him as far as he does for my team and no other reason.. If hes not living up to expectations, i'm gonna use a Knicks thread to speak about it.. Seeing how it is the knicks thread..
No one in the world would of signed up for a 1st rd exit last yr.. Thats just ridiculous, and a super underachieving season..
knicks not shooting 2 well in this celts game so far.. I hope Novak gets it going.. As i stated a couple wk's ago, we have a fantastic record when he scores double digits...
God I hate Garnett almost as much as hated Reggie Miller...
this feels like a playoff game.. I love this Knicks team..
Dang man, how did Pierce make that shot on CHandler at end? Freaking 1second on shot clock and he has to heave up a long jumper with Chandlers hand in his face and gets kinda awkward release and buries it! Bull!
Defense again was the issue tonight... Thank god we had taht 2game win strk, because its been win one/lose one for awhile now...
hate you Pierce.. I hate your face..!!
didn't see the game, only highlights on NBATV...sucks.
while you guys watched the Knicks lose I get o watch ND get their *** es ripped to pieces by F'N Bama...
NFL Championships : 1927 1934 1938 1956 Super Bowl Champions: XXI XXV XLII XLVI
as far as "doing it despite injuries" this year is nonsense. the knicks started the season healthy other than amare, shump and camby. they started 8-1 and have gone 15-10 since, 5-5 in the last 10 games since the injuries started to mount. the big difference between this season and last i've already explained to you. the obvious one is melo playing much better... which is mainly due to him being healthy, the coach knowing how to run the offense through him, and having good PG play. the knicks swapped out tony douglas and mike bibby with felton and kidd. that is a huge upgrade. plus he played in the olympics so he stayed active and in shape coming into the season.
you always refer to the first round exit as if it defines the success of the season. the knicks played the heat in the first round due to their horrible record under dantoni in this first half of the season. the knicks are like 41-17 under woodson going back to last year. the knicks had less than ideal circumstances going into the playoffs both years with melo. against the celtics billups blows his knee out at the end of game 1. before game 2 stat hurts his back so it was essentially the new york melo against the celtics. against the heat lin was injured, chandler had the flu, then shump and baron blow their knees out. yet the knicks won the same amount of games as the thunder did against them.
"they are finally playing the way we expected the past several seasons" several seasons? wtf? several implies more than 3 dude. any time under dantoni does not even count because the guy is a fraud of a coach. he tried to use stat and melo as spot up 3 point shooters to space the floor with tony douglas and mike bibby running high pick n roll with chandler lol the guy refuses to adapt or evolve to fit his personnel which is why he's failing miserably as the lakers coach as well.
maybe you expected the knicks to be a force after they essentially cut their only decent guard to acquire chandler but i guess you don't know anything about dantoni. i think dantoni would have been let go prior to even last year but since there was a lockout they just stuck with him and hired woodson as an assistant, knowing he would likely take over eventually. i expected the knicks to do much better than they did last season (i figured 3rd to 5th seed) but all the adversity they faced while under an incompetent coach, it was understandable to me.
like i said going into this season, this will be the VERY FIRST season they have had an actual off season, training camp, and preseason together. even then there were some pretty major roster changes so it's impressive that woodson has gotten everyone to play so well together.
do you know what a set play is? do you know that dantoni did not believe in, and did not run set plays?

Jo Prestia's Warriors Night Features Lidon vs. Yodsanklai Rematch on March 2
- Written by Rian Scalia
France is one of the strongest countries in the world for Muay Thai and kickboxing, as evidenced by the plethora of great events that take place every month there. March 2 will see French legend Jo Prestia put on a card featuring a number of names in Levallois.
Headlining Warriors Night will be a rematch between Yodsanklai Fairtex and Yohan Lidon. The two fought back in 2008 with Yodsanklai taking a second round TKO victory. They were supposed to fight again in 2011 for the MPL, but the fight ended up being cancelled due to injury. Lidon has quite the active year scheduled so far, as e fights in a four man tournament in France on February 2 at La Nuit Des Titans, then heads to Australia to fight Steve Moxon on February 22 before this fight. Yodsanklai recently knocked out Kem Sitsongpeenong last month and will face Gregory Choplin at Lion Fight 8 in Las Vegas on January 25.
Right under that fight is a fight between Abdallah Mabel and Johann Fauveau. Mabel has fought a who's who of fighters and comes off two stoppage wins in a row, over Super X and Bruce Codron respectively. Fauveau was recently signed to GLORY and will fight at GLORY 5 London later on March 23, Before this fight, Fauveau fights Ludovic Millet in France on January 19.
The rest of the fight card features a number of notable fighters like Kaew Fairtex, Bobo Sacko, one of the Bennoui brothers and Steeve Archambault and can be seen below in the official event poster.

Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a 14th story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer.
It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit.
It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries-old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way.
With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good.... Welcome to Monster Hunter International.

"Suprizingly entertaining"
Why should I buy this book? A valid question I had to ask myself when I was reading the description. Let's face it, if you like werewolfs, zombies, vampires etc. then the title alone was sufficient to suck you in. However, if you, like me, were looking for something in the science fiction genre and was surprised to find this so highly rated and furthermore having great reviews by most that read it then I will answer the other question: How can it be?
How can it be that a book that talks about vampires, guns and gore is so highly regarded? How can it be that a book that has a story out of every other book in this genre is so entertaining? How can people like such literature?
Let me tell you something. There is a lot worse out there and this book is actually an oasis among them. The reasons are clear to me and they boil down to this: A cult classic B-rated movie. For those that have seen The Blob or any of the Evil Dead movies this is the feeling you get out of this. Something so bad it is actually good. Let's look at the list.
Monsters out of handbook. Check. Endless beating of main character throughout the book (if you don't like him I would say this is a big plus). Check. Reminding us how awesome he is. Check. Anti-goverment remarks at every chapter (can't wait for a movie to play the drinking game). Check. Classic boy meets girl theme. Check. I can go on and on.
And yet we also see clear writing without straining the language and without taking the reader for a fool. Many different locations and a story that is not boring one bit from start to finish. Entertaining. Good jokes, some I have heard before but the context makes them better. Added bonus - great voice acting by Oliver Wyman.
This is not a masterpiece for sure but I sometimes want something entertaining that I can relax with. This series provides me that pleasure and therefore adds something to the world.
"Did not meet my expectations, thankfully!"
I originally purchased this book when I saw it "on the cheap" on one of Audbiles specials. I had the lowest of expectations just judging from the cover art and the name of the book but as I drive allot and the price was right I figured I would give it a try.
MUCH to my delight this was a fun, action packed and funny as hell book. I ended up well hooked on the series and have now read them all. Larry has a good imagination and a heck of a sick sense of humor, which I can relate to.
Bottom line............Loved it.
"Killin's my business and business is fine"
This audiobook has monsters of impossible, mind-bending proportions. The main villain, the "Cursed One," is not just a mwahaha villain – we also get inside his head through his memories in Owen's ghost-guided dream/nightmares that recall C.O.'s journey from a "mean son-of-a-bitch" conquistador to one very megalomaniacal, unearthly, tentacled, flesh-wriggling being who is intent of stopping time itself. I think I'm in love with Owen Z. Pitt, who's inherently epic, but it's hard to let the listener know how epic Owen is through first-person narration without it sounding over-the-top or silly. Like when a master vampire tells Owen he has the strongest will of any mortal she's ever met, or when one guys says to the other that he shouldn't mess with Owen because he has "one hundred pounds of muscle" on him. Or worse yet, when Julie reads his file and we find out Owen's a marksman/genius. This book is cliché in the best way possible. It's like 1 part monsterish gore, 1 part comedy, and 1 part all sorts of artillery. It's like Hot Fuzz.
Oliver Wyman is great. This is the first time I heard him read, and his style is perfect for Monster Hunter International. He has a rather macho tone with just a bit of immaturity, and again, the term "epic" comes to mind to describe his style. His reading of female voices didn't make me burst out laughing, which is what usually happens when I listen to male narrators read girls' voices. The only thing that jarred me was how seriously Oliver Wyman took those vocal direction. I usually comment on whether narrators do a good or bad job at distinguishing internal monologue with external speak when audiobooks are in first-person, like this one. The listener has no problem with distinguishing the two in Monster Hunter International, because Oliver Wyman reads the directions in a rather calm soft voice, while reading the actual words with the proper emphasis, instead of splitting the two.
My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
"Had some good moments"
Right from the start I was put off. This accountant gets attacked by his boss, who is a werewolf. The accountant pulls out a gun he keeps strapped to his ankle. Later they explain why an accountant would have an ankle gun, but it was too little too late.
Every single military cliche you have ever heard is in this long long book. There were moments when I laughed and I liked the take on Elves and on Orcs. It was no where near as good as Jonathan Maberry or Dean Koontz. You want monster's try Koontz's Frankenstein series. You want tough guy and Zombies try Maberry's Patient Zero.
Oliver Wyman did ok, but I have never a big fan of his and I wondered if the story would have sounded better from Ray Porter or Wil Wheaton.
""normal people suck""
I was excited about this book until about half way through, when I couldn't wait until I didn't have to listen to it anymore. Around then, I started to be embarrassed whenever the audio book was playing aloud and I thought anyone else could hear it. It's just so lame.
The book is basically the writer, childishly portraying himself as the strongest, smartest, and most talented person in the world, who's also been selected as the 'chosen one' to take on some task, all the while referring to himself as dumb and ugly as an attempt at humility. He literally has a conversation where he's comparing his intellect with another character over jeopardy. Give it a break.
Being the protagonist, are you supposed to side with him as he unreasonably hates another character because they're dating the girl he likes? Feels like high school.
He goes on to steal said girlfriend and still hates the other character, wanting to kill them even though they never do anything wrong to him.
I loved the idea of professional monster hunters, but I absolutely hated the main character.
I hope that the author's newer books are better, having developed his skills as an author. Feel free to let me know, because I won't waste my time finding out.
"Gory fun"
Fast paced pulp fiction, filled to the brim with every satisfying B-movie monster-clich?? out there, good humor and great gory fun as legions of undead and interdimensional beings meet inventive, usually explosive, ends. For those interested, the book is peppered with gun-trivia. Mr Wyman does a good job narrating. At 23hrs its good value as well.
"BANG! BANG! fizzle..."
The concept of MHI isn't new territory, that's fine. A group of mercenaries hunt monsters. It's been done but I can always go back to this sort of thing. The book starts out with a great scene in an office building with our main character being hunted by his Werewolf boss, and this scene is fantastic. It's followed up with another fantastic set piece on an abandoned freighter. From there the action scenes devolve into "then there was lots of gun fire. Then more gunfire. And afterward more gunfire and more gunfire and lots more bullets." They become tedious exercises without a hint of suspense.
The main character could easily be broken up into three or four characters. The secondary characters never get fully developed, mostly existing on the periphery of one dimensional archetypes. Our hero is too perfect; "HE'S A GENIUS! HE'S A PIT FIGHTER! HE'S AN ACCOUNTANT!" The requisite love interest is too obvious, her requisite douchey boyfriend is hated the main character as required by law. The government goons are total goons with nary a shred of basic humanity.
I still enjoy books in this style, and perhaps MHI later books are significantly better, after all, this is Correia's first book. It's pretty bad because of that. But the MHI universe has a lot of followers, I can't imagine it's because the stories are universally bad.
The action set piece Correia develops on an abandoned freighter is really great, it goes on for a long time and allows several characters to begin to develop; it's a shame those character's developments end there.
I would seriously consider cutting every character from this book. Not because they are bad, but because there's too many with too few attributes. The main character is good at everything: guns, math, wrestling, fighting, weight lifting, people, etc. And this character could be broken up into three different characters: an accountant, a fighter, and a gun nut. Instead his abilities get in the way of other characters being able to do anything or contribute to parts of the narrative. The main character is part of a team but solves every problem himself.
Monster Hunter International showed some initial promise, but as the story developed, sometimes in a web-like fashion of family politics, it failed to create a real reason to really care about the vast majority of characters. The main character seemed to have intense anger issues; his demise was something I would have taken particular delight in (that doesn't bode well for your protagonist.) The gun porn was fine, even for a non-gun-nut like myself. But as the dozen or so action scenes go on they get less and less interesting. The near invincible vampires became a study in tedium as I read about the thousands of rounds of ammunition being shot at them with no progress made toward their demise. For professional monster hunters they certainly are ill-equipped to kill vampires.
I can see where this sort of thing interests people and, again, maybe the later books are better, Correia shows loads of promise here. His other novels, especially Son of Black Sword, show a matured and nuanced writer this early work barely hints at.
A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies... The man who never reads lives only one. ~George R.R. Martin
"Monsters, Monsters everywhere."
This was a fun and gory romp of killing the bad monsters. There was comedy, horror, adventure, romance (enough to appeal to us girls), and good vs. evil all the way through. In a way I was reminded of the movie Hell Boy (which I liked). Very bloody and gory but what do you expect with a name like Monster Hunter. Although at no time was I bored, the book is long. The characters were all very real to me and felt like people I knew. Narration is great. I have already purchased the next two in the series and am going to try his other one soon.

"Entertaining Dude-Lit"

"Our business is monsters. And business is booming."
Owen Zastava Pitt was just trying to be normal. He used to be a bouncer who spent his evenings participating in illegal pit fights, but he managed to earn a CPA and became a boring accountant for a big corporation — pension and dental benefits included. Being tall and weighing in at 300 lbs, he didn't quite look like an accountant — and he still spent his weekends as a gun hobbyist — but he was making progress…. until his boss turned into a werewolf and Owen managed to defeat him and push him out a window on the 14th story of their office building.
That caught the attention of a covert freelance organization called Monster Hunters International. In contrast to the secret government organization that hunts monsters, MHI is a family business. The Shackleford family has selectively recruited and trained a group of highly skilled men and women who work in teams to rid the world of all sorts of dangerous supernatural creatures. Then they collect large bounties from a special government fund. It's extremely lucrative, but extremely dangerous, too.
Owen's stature, militant upbringing, gun expertise, quick wits, and tenacity are exactly what MHI is looking for. When they send Julie Shackleford to interview Owen, he can't resist her good looks and her guns. So Owen signs up for the craziest job in the world and is soon dealing with vampires, gargoyles, ghouls, zombies, werewolves, meddling government bureaucrats, and the insects of the Deep South. He gets some help from his diverse set of MHI colleagues and the good supernaturals — head-banging orcs, trailer park elves, and the ghost of a dead Jewish man that lives in his head.
In the past the monster incidents that MHI has dealt with have seemed like random infestations, but now it's becoming clear that there's a coordinated attack going on. Agents of the Old Ones are searching for an ancient artifact that can stop time and open a portal to a source of infinite power. They've tried it before — back when the Nazis were in power — and now they're back to try again. Fortunately, MHI is standing in their way…
Monster Hunter International, the first inLarry Correia's MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL series is high-octane non-stop action-packed fun. Blazing assault weapons, monsters of all sorts, and plenty of blood, guts and brains. OK, honestly, this is not typically my thing — it's really violent and gory — but after enjoying Correia's GRIMNOIR CHRONICLES, I decided to give MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL a try, especially since I found them on sale at Audible a while back.
I felt like I was hooked up to a testosterone drip, but I cringingly admired Monster Hunter International. The plot is tight, exciting, and unpredictable. The writing — especially the dialog — is excellent. Correia's characters are complex and engaging and the women are just as competent as the men. Best of all is Larry Correia's dry irreverent sense of humor. I wouldn't call Monster Hunter International a comedy, but I chuckled all the way through. It was this comic relief that made the violence tolerable for me.
MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL is a series that is even better in audio than print. Audible Frontiers produces the audio version and it's narrated by Oliver Wyman. Keep in mind that I listen to about 150 audiobooks each year when I say that Wyman's performance is one of the best I've ever heard. He handles both the male and female voices with ease and effortlessly shifts through several accents including a Southern drawl and some Eastern European dialects. His pacing and inflection is perfect. If you're planning to try MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL please consider the audio version. You will not be disappointed.
Monster Hunter International is a little too violent and gory for me to count it as a true favorite, but it excels at what it does. It's highly entertaining dude-lit that is well-written and humorous enough to appeal to a much wider audience.
Publisher: Five days after Owen Zastava Pitt pushed his insufferable boss out of a fourteenth story window, he woke up in the hospital with a scarred face, an unbelievable memory, and a job offer. It turns out that monsters are real. All the things from myth, legend, and B-movies are out there, waiting in the shadows. Officially secret, some of them are evil, and some are just hungry. On the other side are the people who kill monsters for a living. Monster Hunter International is the premier eradication company in the business. And now Owen is their newest recruit. It's actually a pretty sweet gig, except for one little problem. An ancient entity known as the Cursed One has returned to settle a centuries old vendetta. Should the Cursed One succeed, it means the end of the world, and MHI is the only thing standing in his way. With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Owen finds himself trapped between legions of undead minions, belligerent federal agents, a cryptic ghost who has taken up residence inside his head, and the cursed family of the woman he loves. Business is good… Welcome to Monster Hunter International.
Speculative Fiction Book Review Blogger
"So absurd in its hilarity that it was irresistible"
I was shopping around for an fun author / narrator combo because nothing on my listening pile appealed to me at the time, and this audiobook was only $1.99 after downloading the free Kindle edition which made the cost vs reward a no-brainer. MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL was clichéd to the max with a hero that was made for the job, a similarly perfect female love interest, and Larry Correia dedicated more pages to describing the weaponry than to developing the characters or the world, but bottom line—I was wildly entertained!
This novel really was ridiculously excessive, so if you want a little more substance with your laughs then I'd suggest you try THE DRESDEN FILES by Jim Butcher instead. The humour is comparable, James Marsters excels as the reader, but the writing isn't obnoxiously implausible. This story was complete, there were no cliff hangers, and it progressed from Pitt's first encounter with a monster to him staving off the apocalypse as a full fledged member of MIH which was again a huge leap, yet also in all likelihood because the author didn't know if this would become a series.
I really enjoyed Owen as a protagonist; he was fearless, a bit of a show-off, and brimming with snark which is a trait that I LOVE, especially when I've opted to go the audio route. The blurb describes him as an "average guy" when the only thing commonplace about him was his job, and even that was by design. After being a competitive marksman, bouncer and cage match fighter in his youth his goal was to pick the most boring profession possible, thus a CPA. The romance between him and Julie was also super stereotypical, however it fit in with the rest of the overkill.
Listening to the sample clip of Oliver Wyman was enough to hook me into signing up for 23+ hours. His macho tone was exactly what was needed for this three-hundred-pound lead, and he varied it enough so that it was clear when the first person POV was in internal monologue or external dialogue mode. The cast was fairly large, and Wyman made sure to work the accents to assist readers with keeping everyone straight. Even his female voices were good which is saying something because as a general rule the majority of male narrators struggle in this area.
MONSTER HUNTER INTERNATIONAL was so absurd in its hilarity that it was irresistible.
"They Shoot Monsters, Don't They?"
This was a great surprise! It's a really great action / adventure fantasy novel which doesn't pretend to be anything other than it is. Just sit back and listen to the great narration by Oliver Wyman as the adventure washes over you. I know a lot of people out there have issues with Larry Correia's gun lovin' attitudes and obvious political opinions but if you can get over that then you'll really enjoy this book (and the rest in the series). It's fun, it goes bang, it has monsters and then the monsters go bang!
"Hmm, interesting!"
A good story, densely plotted, and a great reading by Oliver Wyman makes for an enthralling listen. So why only three stars? Well, partly because I think the book could have done with some stricter editing. It's a long, long journey with a number of diversions which, though entertaining, would have improved the pace of the book by their absence.
But the main reason for my docking two stars from my review is the barely hidden subtext. Anyone with any understanding of the last decade will spot the right-wing, redneck militia-leaning protagonists. For 'monsters' read 'terrorists' and for 'Monster Hunter International' read 'Anti Government vigilante militias' who operate on the basis that 'my gun is bigger than yours'. It was as if the author was channeling the spirits of Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld as he wrote.
I realise that for many this aspect is probably an attractive and positive part of the story, but it left me feeling slightly uncomfortable while enjoying the mayhem. It is possible to write exciting monster hunting and supernatural mayhem books. I need only mention Jim Butcher and early Laurell K Hamilton as prime examples of politically neutral masters of the genre.
Having said all that, I'll still go for the second volume!
"Fantastic, the hunt is on!"
This is a face paced story, although you need to get over the fact that you will know your guns by the end. The Hero Owen Z Pitt is both funny, humble, arrogant and fantastically violent. The rest of the gang is just brilliant and the banter will keep you giggling, The story has enough complexity to keep your interest and the characters are sufficiently rounded for you to care what happens to them. Urban fantasy at its best!
A fairly simple book, but entertaining nontheless. Ideal for those listening to a book while doing something slightly distracting.
"Loved it!"
Loved this book escapism at its best.. story moved with pace.. and what a narrator!! Fantastic! .. he had each voice and accents perfect , you could clearly distinguish the many characters..his narrative of chapter 22 was so good I felt I was there in that dark damp swamp in the heat of the battle. .. it didn't get the full 5 stars only because the authors obvious love of guns did get a bit tiresome but that's the only minus point... at over 20 hours it in no way felt like it! Highly recommend!
"Full of action"
Really enjoyable story, lots of action and of course loads of guns! Very good narration and I eventually even became used to the American accent. Well worthwhile
"great performance, fun writing"
great humour and a fun writing style but I think the characters are a bit over powered.
"I think this simply wasn't for me"
Having listened to this I think I simply don't like the protagonist. I'm sure the whole macho shoot first think eventually thing will appeal to some but didn't for me. I found myself constantly hoping that something would manage to kill pitt for good which sadly didn't happen.
The unhealthy obsession with guns, barely hidden political views and telegraphing of events to come throughout the book left me disappointed. This was topped off by one of the most inexplicable romance angles I have ever listened to and terrible attempts to build emotion with characters before something dreadful happened to them.
However it's all fine because guns are cool, especially if you are shooting guns and even more so if you are shooting them at something that doesn't require a moral justification on if its right or wrong. I will be sticking with Harry Dresden where good story, character development and well written action blend together into an interesting and gripping read. It's a shame this book lacks any of those.
"MHI rocks!!"
A brilliant story, well read, the narrator is really good at accents and differentiating between male and female voices.
Highly recommend this series! Can't wait for the next one and what a great idea for a film!!!!
"Good but not as good as Hard Magic"
Good listen but lapsed into teen fiction more than I hoped, preferred the Hard Magic series by same author. Definitely worth a listen though and good delivery.

Joey Epperson Added To The Golden Spikes Award Watch List
SANTA BARBARA, Cailf. - UC Santa Barbara senior third baseman/outifelder Joey Epperson has been added to the Midseason "Golden Spikes Award" Watch List, USA Baseball announced today. The Golden Spikes Award is given out annually to the top amateur baseball player in the country.
Epperson becomes the first Gaucho ever to be nominated for the award. Past Golden Spikes Award winners include accomplished Major League Baseball stars David Price, Bryce Harper, Stephen Strasburg, Buster Posey, Tim Lincecum, Jered Weaver, Pat Burrell, Robin Ventura, Will Clark, and Terry Francona.
Splitting time between the leadoff and third spots in the lineup, Epperson enters the weekend with the top batting average in the country at .462 and the second-best on-base percentage at .544. Overall, the speedster leads the Big West Conference in a litany of offensive categories including batting average, on-base percentage, hits, and runs. An all-around threat, he also ranks second on the team with three home runs and 11 stolen bases.
He has racked up three Big West Field Player of the Week nominations so far in 2014, taking home the award on Mar. 3 after hitting .588 and leading the Gauchos to a 4-0 week, including a Tuesday win over defending national champion UCLA and a three-game sweep of Princeton.
UCSB has been a different team ever since inserting Epperson into the starting lineup a year ago. Since becoming a full-timer on Apr. 14, 2013, the Gauchos are an astounding 38-16.
USA Baseball officials will trim the 50-man watchlist to 30 on May 8, before the award's semifinalists are announced at the conclusion of the regular season.
Joey and the rest of the No. 14 Gauchos host No. 15 Cal State Fullerton this weekend in a vital Big West series. UCSB, 20-7 overall, is just 2-4 in conference play.

BMW Championship News
BMW Championship to Make Debut at Cherry Hills Country Club in 2014
The eighth installment of the BMW Championship (formerly known as the Western Open) is set to take place at a brand new location for 2014, as it will take over Cherry Hills Country Club in Englewood, Colo., from Sept. 1-7 for the first time ever. The event has never taken place this far west, having only previously rotated between Midwest courses in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri. With its status as a FedEx Cup Playoff event, the BMW Championship field exclusively includes only the top 70 golfers in the points standings, which differs slightly from the world rankings.
In terms of the FedEx Cup, world No. 19 Jimmy Walker leads with 2,364 points through 21 events, followed by Bubba Watson (2,135), Matt Kuchar (1,855), Dustin Johnson (1,769), and Jim Furyk (1,680), compared to the world top-five which includes Adam Scott, Rory McIlroy, Henrik Stenson, Justin Rose, and Sergio Garcia. Last year's BMW Championship winner, Zach Johnson, sits at 10th in the points standings as of July 29, all but ensuring he'll be on hand to defend his title.

ONVIF Schedules Profile G Release Date for 2014
ONVIF has unveiled the Release Candidate for Profile G, a specification designed to store, search, retrieve and playback media on devices or clients that support recording capabilities and on-board storage.
August 14, 2013
SAN RAMON, Calif. — ONVIF has unveiled the Release Candidate for Profile G, a specification designed to store, search, retrieve and playback media on devices or clients that support recording capabilities and on-board storage.
Profile G will encompass devices ranging from cameras and encoders to networked video recorders (NVR) and client systems such as video management systems, building management systems and physical security information management (PSIM) systems.
For example, Profile G can be deployed between a PSIM solution integrating video playback from an NVR, including specific features such as starting and ending recording; searching video using various filters such as time, event or metadata; video retrieval and playback; and, on the receiver side, creating a source of IP media.
In 2012, ONVIF released Profile S as the standard interface to stream video and audio between conformant devices and clients. The organization maintains that although Profile G and Profile S are related, the two are independent profiles and encompass different functionalities of a network video system. Some devices, such as a camera with onboard storage or a DVR, may implement both profiles. In contrast, a camera may implement Profile S for transmission of the video while an NVR would encompass functionalities from Profile G, according to ONVIF.
"The introduction of Profile G will complete the circuit between live video and the other half of the equation, which is video storage," says Steven Dillingham, chairman of ONVIF's Profile G Working Group and Software Engineer for Vidsys. "This further refines the level of interoperability among ONVIF-conformant products."
In order for ONVIF members and stakeholders to conduct a final implementation review, the organization circulates new profiles first as a 'release candidate' for six months. Upon completion of the process, ONVIF publishes the final profile, allowing technology providers to test their products for conformance to the final version of Profile G.
The final version is expected to be released in early 2014.

Also, Ethyl Glucuronide and Ethyl Sulphate based alcohol tests have been developed and have been quite popular, as these methods are able to detect alcohol consumption for up to 80 hours whereas simple and conventional urine tests and breathalyzers can detect consumption only for a few hours.
The ETG/ETS alcohol detection tests are based on the principle of alcohol biomarkers, which are only produced due to alcohol metabolism. So, these tests are completely reliable as they can not be masked by any sort of illnesses, for example, urinary tract infections or diabetes. Cut-off levels are used on the basis of medication history and eating habits to filter the false positive results that may be generated due to consumption of certain prescription drugs or foods that contain non-beverage alcohol.

Hi all,
I have a second year Russian hive with two brood boxes, and they are doing great. But, the top brood box is packed with honey instead of brood so I am wondering if a second brood box is really needed. I know they need room to grow but couldn't I use supers and one brood box? The setup would be one brood box, queen excluder and two supers to start with so at least I could extract some of the honey instead of looing at it.
Thanks for the help,

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Meat & Potato Pie. Or, to be PC, Potato & Meat Pie (for bought ones).
Who amongst you have what you consider the best recipe for this dish, please? Hubby (from Wigan) is desperate to taste what were his local pies and although I've made acceptable ones, it seems to lack that 'magic'. No worries about my pastry, just the innards.
Thanks, in anticipation.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Mm, innards.
There'll be plenty of those if you buy it from a supermarket. The question is, whose innards?

Re: Ask me a cooking question
hippytea, the supermarkets do not stock Wigan pies. Hubby has communicated with Greenhalghs(?) of Wigan and they don't sell to supermarkets, nor will they post any. I did say hubby was desperate, didn't I?
Don't trust any 'innards' now but then I've always made my own pies.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Hey bit of a random one, but please bare with me and as we jogg on, either laugh with me, or at me, or in short, do any thing, -only keep your temper.
Me and my girlfriend has a bit of a quarrel the other day because we were trying to decide which were the two most sexy and two least sexy herbs in the world. I said that the two most sexy were coriander and basil, and that the two least sexy were chives and bay. She (almost unbelievably) said that the sexiest were coriander and PARSLEY (!!??!?!?) and the two least sexy were dill and thyme. Dill I can understand.... but thyme?
Anyway to cut a long story short, we'd really appreciate as much input as possible on this one, would help settle a few scores and maybe help us get back on track with the things that matter!!!
Many thanks.

Re: Ask me a cooking question
Well now, js, what can I say?
BASIL is certainly top of my list for being the sexiest, headiest and tastiest herb there is.
Runner-up is (sorry) THYME - my most used herb of all.
Can I cheat and submit a third? ROSEMARY. Not only can you put it in your bath water for relaxation but it's just great with lamb, etc.
Least sexiest, for me, TARAGON - far too over-powering. What can be sexy about FENNEL? Quite nice but not as versatile as my two favourites.
PARSLEY is not sexy. You hearing this?
Please don't squabble with your girlfriend over such things. Don't like to think of you falling out over such a matter. .
You two need to get out more, eh?
This has been fun.
#710 Sun 27 Jan 13 4:10pm
Re: Ask me a cooking question
Yes, basil is sexy in a flashy, flimsy way, but give me rosemary over that floozy any day. It's got experience. It's seen the world. And it's got stamina - stick it in a casserole and it's still going strong eight hours later, after all your flimsy, leafy numbers are long gone.
What the hell am I talking about?
I blame Nigella.
ann.moss do you have time to make a pasty? Home made are best. If you want to lighten it and cut the fat intake, use bread dough to make a calzone, or just flour and water dough kneaded and rolled thin and glazed with egg.
Or home made sausage rolls. I use a scone recipe for the crust instead of pastry (lighter and quicker to make) and experiment with different flavourings in the sausagemeat. I like pork sausagemeat with grated apple mixed through it. Let me know if any of these interest you and I could try and knock up a recipe for it.

Lanzarote, Canary Islands
UTSA hosts Canary Islands symposium March 12
(March 10, 2005)--UTSA and the Friends of the Canary Islands Foundation present a symposium, "Canary Islands-Texas: The Historical Connection," from 7:45 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, March 12 in the Buena Vista Street Building Aula Canaria (1.328) at the UTSA Downtown Campus. The event is free and open to the public.
Felix D. Almaraz Jr., UTSA professor of history and symposium coordinator, is a presenter in the symposium as well as Julio Montesino, consul general of Spain, Houston, Texas, Ricardo Melchior Navarro, president of the Tenerife District Council, and Jose Manuel Soria Lopez, president of the Grand Canaria District Council.

Fifty-six Canary Islanders (or "Islenos") arrived in 1731 to establish what is known today as San Antonio. Ordered by King Philip V of Spain to establish the settlement, the Islanders organized the municipal government, and the first mayors of the city were original settlers or their descendants.
In 1738, the Islanders began construction of a church, now the oldest part of San Fernando Cathedral. Islenos descendants were instrumental in developing the culture and institutions of San Antonio.
The Canary Islands are often described as Spain's tropical paradise. In mainland Spain, they are synonymous with holidays, as they are for thousands of foreign tourists who pack the islands' resorts year round. Colonized and populated by Spaniards, the seven islands lie 1,150 kilometers off the west coast of Africa.
The symposium is sponsored by the UTSA Office of the President, the UTSA Department of History, the Friends of the Canary Islanders Foundation and the government of the Canary Islands.
Parking is available on the upper level of the UTSA parking garage on Pecos-La Trinidad Street. Simultaneous translation equipment will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

CNISSF snowboard racing | Wolverines crowned state champions
March 12, 2013
The Truckee High snowboard team was not to be denied victory at the CNISSF state high school snowboard championships at Mount Shasta this week.
The Wolverines arose victorious over 28 high schools in the championship races Monday and Tuesday, returning triumphant with four banners and 10 individual medals and plaques.
"I was extremely proud of the way our team rode," said Truckee head coach Aniko Kuch. "It was a great representation of the hard work they have been putting in and the dedication they have shown."
On the opening day of competition in giant slalom, the Truckee girls led the charge with senior veteran Ruby Wood capturing bronze in a field of 63 girls. Sophomore Sofie Maciel captured the 10th-place medal and junior Claire Roberts broke into the top 20, finishing 18th. Sophomores Nichole Graham and Winter Lim were in pursuit, finishing 34th and 40th, respectively.
Roxy Schumann led the North Tahoe girls with a 14th-place finish, while teammate Courtney Peters was 26th.
The Truckee boys then took care of business, as freshman Ryan Murphy finished sixth, Casey Curtis was ninth and Quinntin Butler 13th. North Tahoe's Konrad Przybyslawski placed 29th and Nash Baehr was 30th.
Day 2 of the competition started on a high note for the Wolverines as Wood captured silver in the slalom while other strong finishes were put in by Roberts (19th), Maciel (21st), Graham (22nd) and Lim (48th) in the field of 68. Schumann finished 14th for the Lakers and Peters was 26th.
Przybyslawski led the way in the boys slalom, recording a ninth-place finish, while Butler was 10th, Curtis 11th and Murphy 18th for the Wolverines. Baehr was 33rd.
The Wolverines cleaned up at the awards ceremony. Wood was awarded third place in the girls combined — aka, the All-State team — while Curtis, Butler and Murphy finished seventh, eighth and nine, respectively.
Truckee's boys and girls teams finished second, which gave the Wolverines the combined state championship with 1,312 points to runner-up Shasta's 1,204. Foothill was third with 1,199 points, and North Tahoe was 13th out of the 28 schools, with 937 points.
"This varsity team is young and strong and the future is bright," Kuch said of her Truckee team. "With our super talented new freshman and returning members, the Wolverines are a force that will be next to impossible to stop."
Added Wood: "Leading the Wolverines to the high school state championship title is the icing on the cake of my snowboard racing career. Leaving my team as state champions is better than I could have ever dreamed."

Note: This blog post is part 1 of 4 on building our training workshop.
The Percona training workshop will not cover sharding. If you follow our blog, you'll notice we don't talk much about the subject; in some cases it makes sense, but in many we've seen that it causes architectures to be prematurely complicated.
So let me state it: You don't want to shard.
Optimize everything else first, and then if performance still isn't good enough, it's time to take a very bitter medicine. The reason you need to shard basically comes down to one of these two reasonsRead More

Back in 2010, Joel Schroeder contacted me about using a photo of my son's snowman creation for a documentary he was filming about Calvin and Hobbes. Two years later, Dear Mr. Watterson is still in production, with a goal of completing the final cut of the film by the end of 2012.
Schroeder's quest to understand the far-reaching impact of Bill Watterson's decade-long comic strip began as a series of fan interviews in December 2007.
"At the time, I don't think we realized what it was going to become," recalls the director. "We definitely wanted to document the impact of the strip, but then it grew into trying to answer the question of how on earth it had such impact. By digging deeper, it has become a better film."
Exploring Calvin's inner life with his pet stuffed tiger, Hobbes, is a foundational experience for geeks. Most GeekDads and GeekMoms have made a transition from identifying with Calvin to becoming his parents. My own son spent two weeks waking me from naps on the couch by screaming blaster noises in my ear and then delightedly running away from the angered Naggon King. The first time that happened, Calvin and Hobbes revealed a new layer of meaning to me.
