A total fire ban remains in the Rotorua and Whakatane districts as continual dry weather keeps the fire risk at extreme.
Rotorua District Council deputy principal rural fire officer Richard Horn said a ban which had been enforced at the end of last month still applied in the Rotorua district.
He said people had been good at abiding with the fire ban so far, with no fires reported.
Mr Horn said the fire ban still included hangi, although Rotorua people can apply for a permit to have a hangi.
Meanwhile, Whakatane District Council principal rural fire officer Neal Yeates said a prohibited fire season remains in force for the whole of the Whakatane district, which includes land controlled by the Department of Conservation and Pumicelands.
"Vegetation is tinder dry and even the smallest spark could ignite a fire," Mr Yeates said.
"We ask that farmers and the general public be extra vigilant and report any smoke sightings to emergency services on 111."
During a prohibited fire season, it is an offence for any person to light a fire anywhere in the district or to cause or assist any person to light a fire.
This includes braziers, incinerators, charcoal barbecues, bonfires, Chinese lanterns, pizza ovens and burn-offs.
"A scrub fire at Matata and a grass fire at Julians Berry Farm last week were quickly extinguished by the fire service," Mr Yeates said.
"Fortunately, on both occasions there was very little wind to fan the fire, otherwise we may have been dealing with something major."
He said with no significant rainfall in sight a total fire ban would remain in place until further notice.

Where I stayed
Aunt Pearls
Aunt Pearl and Suzannes father, Jim, were there to meet us in a hearty welcome - with photos and a poster holding our names to ensure no repeat of my last experience arriving here in Scotland!
This family, with all the extended relatives, is extremely close and caring, and we were immediately included as part of the clan. With missing having our own family around I seriously can't say enough just how wonderful that was for us.
Aunt Pearl was to be our host for most of the duration of our stay here and she was absolutely amazing. Right from day one we were thoroughly spoiled by her thoughtfulness and incredible generosity...made to feel so welcome by her wonderful, grandmotherly ways
My connection with Suzanne was a rather random one in it's beginnings ... but we really hit it off when we first met back in 2008 on my tour around Europe - and have remained very close friends from that time. She has a song for every occasion under the sun and a heart so big and giving that inspires everyone around her.
On arrival we went through with Suzanne the proposed schedule she had planned out and arranged for our time here. Looking at it on paper really highlighted just how fleeting these 3 weeks were going to be...
but it was great to be kept busy with a whole range of projects as well as some scheduled time to appreciate the stunning countryside.
Since my last visit here, Suzanne has started up a ministry called 'Wheels in Motion' ...a soup bus supporting homeless people and those struggling with addictions in the Ayrshire district. Based on the verse from Matthew 25:35 "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in..." the story so far is overflowing with absolutely incredible testimony to Gods provision and faithfulness --- and one of my main projects for our time here was to showcase this in the form of a scrapbook, that could also be used as a tool to promote awareness. I spent a good number of hours researching into it's astounding background and then many hours more putting the incredible chronicle together with an array of papers, textures and colours in the endeavor to make it come even more alive to those leafing through
It was great to be a part of the 'Fun Night' that Suzanne had organized as a thank you to all the volunteers who are involved with Wheels in Motion - and open to any of the homeless people who come along. Loads of Chinese food for dinner and many laughs shared over games throughout the evening.
Actually being able to go out with her on the bus was a truly amazing experience. What an awesome, relevant ministry! The people were piling into the tiny space for a cup of soup, rolls and a hot drink, so open and keen to talk...and with no desire to leave until we had to tell them too when packing up for the night. I had one very interested guy ask me when I became a Christian and all about how that has effected my life. His response was a very genuine "I can see it has changed you. I can see it in your eyes."
It's an amazing thing.
Samuel spent a good few days down at the Manse, helping [Pastor] Kenneth with some maintenance needed to be done around the place...building a gate, putting up new facia boards and making a start on the new shed.
Among Suzanne's crazy-packed schedule of serving and giving, work and social, she is the youth leader at her local Church. So with us here, she asked if Samuel and I could be involved in sharing with them of our adventures so far and all that God has taught and shown us to date in our travels.
The following weekend we all enjoyed a sleep-over in the Church hall: pizza, pavlova and piles of junk food to be consumed while watching 2 very challenging movies: 'Fireproof' and 'To save a life'
Four of our days were spent down in the tiny little community of Newton Stewart...about an hour and a half south of Prestwick. It's one of those cute little places where everyone seems to know everyone. We stayed here with Aunt Myra, who helps to run the little Church here. She, along with the small handful of other women we met during our stay here, were perfect examples of faithfulness and commitment...and such fun to be with! The project here was to demolish and re-build the front steps of the little Church - as well as replacing the weed matting under the carpark. The former proved to be somewhat of a challenge, with materials not being the same as expected, but the finished result looked great.
Amidst our projects, Aunt Pearl totally spoiled us with an incredible day trip to the beautiful Lakes District of Northern England. So picturesque with it's gorgeous little towns amidst vast expanses of stunning lakes and autumnal trees.
We loaded onto a bus one other day to enjoy a quick review of Glasgow before moving on to the more character-filled Edinburgh. Exploring the old city under the Royal Mile, through Mary Kings Close, was a great experience - our tour guide was totally awesome! And it was absolutely wonderful having the opportunity to catch up with Hayley over dinner, my childhood neighbor-friend who has in recent years moved here to Scotlands capital.
The weekend before we were to fly out, Suz took a long weekend off work and we set off for a Highland fling up to Glenelg
We loved our time in Scotland.
Such friendly, generous people who welcomed us in as part of the family and blessed us with their friendship --- occupying a beautiful country that we had the privilege of seeing a wonderful percentage of it's scenic countryside.

Mountain View is truly a Halloween town. In the Shoreline West area we had a huge pirate ship (complete with a full sized skeleton captain), a graveyard filled with the "living dead" and multiple, well decorated houses. All in all this is a wonderful community and many thanks to all the great people who help make it so.

This happend in the other end of the town where I live. Conflicting stories from family members and police. Citizens say that Huntington cops seem "trigger happy" but the details are still sketchy at best. Looks like the man who was shot was struggling with a police officer and may have tried to get a weapon from the officer during the struggle. Still a sad situation for both sides.http://www.herald-dispatch.com/homep...le-with-policeHUNTINGTON, WV-- A father-daughter fist fight ended early Friday morning with a city police officer killing the father just outside of his Guyandotte home.
Huntington Police Chief Skip Holbrook, calling the killing justified, said a preliminary investigation shows Raymond Adkins, 59, was shot as he barged out of the house and reached for an officer's bean-bag gun.
Daughter Leanna Adkins said she disagreed with that account, although a neighboring eyewitness told a story similar to that of the police. The daughter on Friday criticized the police and described the fight that preceded her father's death. She said they exchanged punches in an argument that started with her father's hunt for a vehicle registration card.
"The last conversation me and my dad had was an argument," she said. "I've got to live with that for the rest of my life. So does my mom."
Holbrook opened a Friday afternoon press conference with condolences for the Adkins family, then offered a timeline that started with an 11:39 p.m. domestic violence call at 505 Richmond St. Officers quickly confirmed a family member had been injured and then moved to detain the alleged abuser.
That process would take 30 minutes as Raymond Adkins refused to exit his home. Holbrook said his failure to cooperate, coupled with reports of erratic behavior, prompted a police response of multiple officers, ballistic shields, a less-than-lethal bean-bag gun and actual firearms.
About 12:17 a.m. officers kicked open the front door, and Raymond Adkins charged outside. Holbrook said Adkins focused on Huntington Police Lt. Alan Rohrig, who possessed the bean-bag gun.
Rohrig fired one bean-bag round that struck Raymond Adkins in the torso, but that didn't stop him. Adkins grabbed the bean-bag gun with two hands and tried to push it toward Rohrig, who managed to keep one hand on that weapon, Holbrook said.
Rohrig's partner, Huntington Police officer Travis S. Hagan, feared for Rohrig's safety and fired his .45 caliber weapon. Holbrook said that bullet struck Adkins' back and exited though his front torso.
Hagan was placed on administrative leave as a matter of protocol, Holbrook said. Cabell County Prosecutor Chris Chiles and Holbrook said Hagan had reason to fear for Rohrig's safety because a bean-bag shot at close range to Rohrig's face might have caused serious injury. Such weapons are designed to be fire several feet from the intended target.
The chief's account was similar to that of neighboring eyewitness Eric Lezu. He heard a ruckus about midnight. He said Raymond Adkins' wife and daughter looked on as police crowded onto the porch and kicked the front door to urge surrender.
Adkins came out with a head of force seconds later.
"I mean he rushed those officers. It was nuts how quick," Lezu said. "There was so much force, it took all of the officers and the guy that got shot off the front porch."
Lezu reported hearing one gunshot and the incident was over. Neighbors Barbara Stewart and David Lambert also recalled hearing a single gunshot.
Leanna Adkins heard two shots -- the bean-bag blast followed by a louder gunshot. She agrees that her father refused to exit the house, at one point recalling he had told police they would have to come inside and get him.
From there her story begins to differ. She initially told reporters that police dragged her father from the house. She then clarified the point, saying officers led him outside with a grasp on each arm and shot him. Never did he reach for their gun, she said.
Leanna Adkins also disagreed with what followed. She alleges the police stood by and allowed her father to die.
After first handcuffing Raymond Adkins, Holbrook said officers noticed he had been shot and started CPR. Medics were called at 12:18 a.m. and arrived six minutes later from the W.Va. 2 station at 12:24 a.m.
Gordon Merry, director of Cabell County Emergency Medical Services, agreed with Holbrook's account. He said medics noted the officers had been administering CPR.
Medics then stepped in with CPR. Their ambulance was there for about six minutes and left at 12:30 a.m., arriving at the hospital by 12:35 a.m., according to Merry and Holbrook.
Lezu said he believes such a killing was justified, if Adkins actually reached for the gun as the officers claim. However, he worries the Police Department as a whole might be too quick to act. For instance, he said officers shot his dog in October after saying it charged at them.
"They seem a little trigger happy, to be honest with you," he said. "Too quick to act in aggression. As opposed to being there to protect and serve, they are there to bring you down and do whatever it takes. My opinion is 50-50."
Holbrook said he can't really speak to conclusions others may draw, but he said every discharge of a police firearm prompts an internal review.
"At no time did they take an aggressive stance," Holbrook said of Friday's shooting. "Police actions oftentimes are split-second decisions. It comes with great responsibility and we recognize that."
Holbrook said officers fire their weapon to stop the threat, not slow it down. He said, for instance, a gunshot to the foot may slow an assailant but still allow him to retrieve a gun and fire at police.
Hagan's case will be investigated by the Huntington Police Department's Criminal Investigations Bureau and the Office of Professional Standards. Those findings then will be turned over to the Cabell County Prosecutor's Office for presentment to a grand jury.
Hagan could return to work prior to the grand jury meeting, if Holbrook believes internal investigations satisfactorily clear him of any administrative or criminal wrongdoing. His return to service also depends upon his mental, emotional and physical well being. Hagan has been on the force for five years.

We're all in favor of reducing violent crime. It's just that pro-gunners have a method that is proven effective. Anti-gunners don't.

In an age where cops tazer people for not moving fast enough, why didn't they use that weapon here?
Some of these cases make me wonder.
For whatever reason they chose to use something other than tazer. I can think of several reasons why this may be, but I'm not a cop, so I don't know for sure.
Regardless, a guy charges you suddenly, "less lethal" has no apparent effect, guy grapples your partner, starts grabbing at weapons.
I have no problem with the decision the partner made to shoot.

When you start punching family members and then refuse to comply with police officers you have to expect to get hurt. If your next course of action is to start grabbing for law enforcement weapons a reasonable person would expect to get shot. It is not unreasonable to expect to die when shot. The only thing I don't understand is why a 59 year old man would get into a fist fight with his daughter. Or what outcome they expected. Stupid is as stupid does.
Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around laws. Plato
Sounds like the whole family is dysfunctional and has anger issues,I'm 53 my daughter is 29,there is no way I would punch her in an argument.Sometimes people let rage cloud their judgement resulting in consequences they didn't expect
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"

Based on the story alone, looks like a good shoot.
Very tragic that it came to that, but you don't go struggling with an officers weapon and not expect to be shot.
Some people die from a single center mass shot with a .45 acp. It happens.

Agreed with bark'n, Duk, Steve W and both of Coders' posts.
Good shoot.
As to the women arguing that the circumstances are different than reported, isn't that how she walked herself into having a fist fight with her father in the first place...Whom she now has to live with the rest of her life as being her final goodbye.
Rational acting and thinking adults don't punch their daughters, fist fight their fathers nor do they not comply to police called and attempt to disarm them.

Definately a good shoot if he did in fact try to disarm the officers. I tend to believe the officers and other witnesses over the irrational daughter of the deceased. Maybe it's just me.

I fail to see why this is news. a very aggressive man charges, from the sound of it, many police officers and grabs a shotgun of one. he was then shot once.
I say good shoot. there were many opportunistic to comply. His choose to do this. he choice to argue. live with your choices (or not).

Connecting gas dryer?
I'm trying to connect a gas dryer to a yellow, builder installed flexible fuel line. The flexible fuel line has a split washer inside a female connector. How far down on the flexible fuel line should I place the washer? Am I suppose to wrap this fitting with Teflon tape. I was told I didn't have to, but something doesn't seem right. Am I missing another washer?
Hey Kelly:
Good for you!! Sounds like you have a corrugated flexible gas line there...not a flexible gas line connector.
There are a few kinds of yellow corrugated flexible gas lines...but if I'm right...you should not be messing with these at all.
The split washer design could belong to wardflex or gastite or a couple other manufacturers. Click on this links to investigate further...
I have never heard of any split washer type flexible connectors that a homeowner can use....I say you call a licensed plumber to check this out..something's wrong here!!!
Most flexi. gas connectors that are used by homeowners simply connect using FLARED FITTINGS that thread into the threads of pipe and stove..then you simply tighten fittings (using two wrenches or pliers).
TEFLON TAPE is not allowed on gas...PERIOD!!
Check out the sites...let me know if I am close..or if I missed this one by a mile!!
I bet that BP has this one in the bag.
If it is Wardflex, GasTite, or TracPipe corrugated stainless steel tubing (all with a yellow PVC jacket), you're dealing with something only a plumber can work with. You can't even buy the pipe or fittings unless you're a licensed installer. It is one thing that just isn't a DIY product...The manufacturers protect their installers.
Can you post a picture of what you've got? We can tell you for sure that way.
It was Wardflex. Thanks for the link. I had the washer on backwards. Duh. Everything is fine now. No leaks. No explosions. Thanks guys.

i will music-nerd throw down with Akayz if i have to
i will music-nerd throw down with Akayz if i have to
I would love to attempt to take part, but I only know borders of music.
If skrillex wins the kids chocie awards on nickolodeon, i have lost hope for this generation. dat spelling
Skrillex has talent.. in a way... its in his ear though,
its hard to put sounds together that fit right and especially keep you glued in till the end. That's one of the biggest challenges of making music and Skrillex managed to do it.
Just, he makes too much remix's of one song.
@Eluveitie - Your name alone, shows you have a great knowledge of music.
There is loads of good music being made now. There was trash music being made 40 years ago. Take off the nostalgia goggles and look around.
You're not looking hard enough. Honestly though, you don't even have to look that hard at all.
There are plenty of very talented original acts around.
Rock for instance: Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, The National, etc.
You could probably list dozens of great bands for every type of music.
Also, what's with the dumbs anyways? Did I not bring up a valid observation?
My musical taste suits me well.
Fuck it, there's lots of good music being made right now. Just look at pendulum or Christopher Tin (who just released a new album)
I think there's some amazing music coming out of the indie, folk and alternative scene right now. It's a shame that club music is clogging our airwaves.
Andy Hull (Manchester Orchestra, Right Away Great Captain!, Bad Books), Caleb Followill (Kings of Leon), Marcus Mumford (Mumford and Sons), Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) and Sam Beam (Iron & Wine) have amazing voices and most of these guys are lyrical geniuses. I'm actually proud of the music that these guys are making today.
Most of them have epic beards too, maybe the magic is in the beard.
Anyone familiar with Amon Tobin? Hypnotic stuff.
not looking hard enough.
do me a favour, pick your favourite club song, the one that you think will stand up best to what I think it's the best song from the above listed bands. We'll compare, and then see what's better.
There is no such thing as music being better than other music.
You know why? Opinions.
And they're 2 completely different fucking genres. You don't compare which genre is better.
I'm defending the fact he thinks it is 'JUNK'. I was going to compare. There are components that make a good song. Exactly, good is loose when it comes to music. Good can be different to anyone. If everyone listened to your "no such thing as music being better than other music" how do they determine grammy awards? etc. -_-
You know the Grammy awards are a popularity contest right? They don't really give a shit about whether the music is better than the other, which causes a bunch of shit between the fans of the bands that are nominated. They only care about the money. Not whose better than who.
Seriously, no band can be better than another band. One band might appeal to more people than another one does, but that doesn't mean they're better.
And comparing components of songs is taking those components out of context with the song, completely missing the point of the song. You can't compare parts of songs, it's like comparing parts of movies. You're taking that part out of context and saying, "well this is a brilliant example of cinematography" when in fact it only seems like genius with the rest of the movie around it.
anyone who thinks something of the such of that is junk really has no respect for music in general.
you may not like it, but it's not junk. i don't like electronic music but i can appreciate effort the better electronic artists put behind the music they make.
Try comparing (shamefully using the first examples that came to my head) Rebecca Black's "Friday" to Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". Are they REALLY on the same level?
Art is mainly about creativity. And yes, creativity can certainly be judged and RANKED.
I agree that everyone has different taste and likes different music, that's obvious, you learn that when you are a child. I'm saying that music has a criteria that can determine what makes a successful composition, and therefore it can be ranked. It's about the natural law of what humans receive to be good sound and what they do not.
If you ignore natural laws (I don't even know if that's the right way to word it) you may as well throw away the *idea* of attractive people, successful lives and similar things while you're at it
Creativity can be judged and ranked yes. But only by you. Someone else may think what you consider bad to be good, and vice versa. Now Friday was a bad song, but I can almost guarantee you that there is someone out there that liked it, and that makes it just as good as any other song out there because someone enjoys it and considers it good.
I think it's possible for people to relate to other people's enjoyment to certain styles. It's not very difficult, it takes just a little instance for someone to relate to a topic/emotion in music.
You can compare what you guys consider good and whatnot, but you can't compare whether one is better than the other, because ultimately, you both have different ideas on what is good or not.
Thisispain will actually blow your shit out the water.
There are people who would use that definition to declare this as not music.
But they would be wrong, cause music can be defined as any enjoyable sound, and there's people who like harsh noise, drone and fuck I even like the sound of industrial machinery.
im pretty sure you just instantly contradicted yourself... unless I am misunderstood
anyways, just hit 2am here, I have to wake in 4 hours. I best be off. Nice chatting with you guys.
But I like listening to water, so I'm weird too.

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
This is the second of two taped telephone interviews conducted with Lott for my Mother Jones article. The first interview covered a wider range of general questions, many of them background for the story. This interview, conducted on August 19, 2003, focuses in on issues surrounding coding errors and clustering.
Chris Mooney: So, you know, I went back and looked at the tables, as you suggested that I do. And I have some questions. You know, your corrected table 3a, which I downloaded -- your corrected version, and then there's an Ayres and Donohue corrected version, have the same values for decreases in murder, rape, and robbery. I've got these in front of me. But your values are statistically significant and theirs are not. Why is that?
John Lott: Well, one nice thing about putting things up on the web, is, even if you can't figure out, I know you don't have a statistics background, academics who look at it can immediately see how things are calculated, cause in the do file that we have there, you know the regression list that we have there, you can see what statements we use. And we do virtually the same thing that Ayres and Donohue did, at least in the body of their work, their first paper. You know, I haven't gone through in depth to see what they've done in this reply. But the only thing that we do differently from what they did in all their results was, we include a robust statement, which essentially deals, I won't bore you with the details, but it essentially deals with how the variance can vary across data. And so, what that almost always does is, it causes the results to be somewhat less statistically significant actually than would otherwise be the case.
From what you're telling me, and what I remember seeing, cause it's been a while since I looked at their thing, I assume that they've done something different than what they had done in their original paper to calculate the standard errors. And, but our stuff, and you can go and you can, again, if you can get a third party academic to look at this, can go and verify whether or not the type of statistical test that we're doing in those corrections is the same as what Ayres and Donohue claim that they're doing in their original paper. Along with adding a robust statement, which makes it somewhat more -- less likely to be statistically significant.
Now as I remember, they never did the Poisson regressions, right?
CM: I don't know. But....
JL: And those results were also reported, and that has almost no difference. In fact, if anything, those results are, if you look at the coefficient [unintelligible] there, I think are almost somewhat stronger than they were before. But I won't go into that in depth.
CM: But I have another follow up here. I mean, it seems that -- I looked at the do file, and it seems that you changed the calculation, because in the response -- well, you took your name off it -- in the response you adjusted for clustering at the state level, but in the do file, that clustering isn't there.
JL: It's the same as what Ayres and Donohue did. Did they change what they did across the papers?
CM: I'm not...
JL: If they redid our results using their statistical method, they should have gotten something that should have been fairly close to what's reported in those tables.
CM: Which tables?
JL: In the corrected tables. If they didn't change what they did, then -- if they didn't change what they had done in their original paper, then they should get very similar results.
CM: But all they did -- I'm talking about their reply. All they did was correct your coding errors, and then re-run it.....
JL: Yeah, my own guess is that they did more than that.
CM: Well....
JL: Look, what I'm telling you, we have our data up there on the page, we have our do files up there on the page, and, anybody -- in fact I was just talking to an academic from Washington University in St. Louis, who had also been trying to get a hold of me -- you know, anybody can go and look at that.
CM: But I have looked at it. And listen, I mean, the table, your table 3A, it reads in the note, "Robust standard errors are shown in parentheses and clustering is assumed by state." But then when you look at the do file, there's no, the word cluster is nowhere to be found.
JL: As I remember, what was done there was to try to replicate it along the lines of what Ayres and Donohue had said that they should be doing for their regressions. And that's what 's shown there.
CM: Right, but what I'm saying is, this table, this table reports....
JL: I've repeated it, I really don't want to get into this in depth. You said it would be short, I'm giving you an answer, you either take it or you don't take the answer, but...
CM: Well, it seems like this table is false then, because it says....
JL: It's not false.
CM: [continuing]...there was clustering but the do file says there's no clustering. How can that be? I mean, what's.....
JL: Does the do file, what does the do file say? Does the do file....
CM: I just opened it and looked at it. I mean, I did a search....
JL: Does the do file -- the tables, that are the corrected tables, what do they say on it?
CM: The corrected table, in the note?
JL: The corrected table on the website, what does it say?
CM: I'm reading the note to you. "Robust standard errors are shown in parentheses, and clustering is assumed by state." That's in the note. I'm saying, when I open the do file, there's no clustering.
JL: Okay, well then, I don't know, I'll have to look at it, it shouldn't say that in the table on the website. It should just say robust standard errors.
CM: Okay, but I mean, but why shouldn't it, because in the response to Donohue and Ayres there was clustering, so why would the clustering leave?
JL: It was done to be the same as what they had done.
CM: But I'm telling you, in the response....
JL: Look, I'm really, I'm really....
CM: I've looked into this in a lot of detail. In the response....
JL: Look....
CM: [continuing]...to Donohue and Ayres, you....
JL: Look....
CM: [continuing]...it says that the data's clustered. Now, you say the data's still clustered, but your do file doesn't say that. So it seems like you've taken the clustering out, and that might explain the discrepancy.
JL: Look, the statement should be, should be that robust standard errors were calculated. Okay? And that's what I believe was in the do file, and it was set up so it would be the same as what Ayres and Donohue had done, except for the robust errors, cause they didn't include that calculation in their paper.
CM: So if you didn't cluster then, then no wonder you didn't get -- you got statistically.....
JL: No, I don't think that's right.
CM: Well, sure. That's a big difference.
JL: No, I don't think that's right.
CM: I mean, isn't it standard practice to cluster in this kind of analysis?
JL: Did they cluster in their paper? If you look at the law review paper
CM: In testing your results, yeah.
JL: No, no, no. In doing their original paper, the original paper they published in the Stanford Law Review....
CM: I'm sorry, I hate to stop you, but the original paper is completely not germane. I mean, we're talking about.....
JL: It's completely germane, cause they are running, they're running panel data, and the question is, they're running it with tests that they think are correct, and so what this has done is to try to mimic the types of tests that they have.
CM: I just don't see why that's germane. We're talking about correcting the coding errors. You've told me there were minor coding errors in the response. And then you told me there's a corrected table.....
JL: [Unintelligible] And I've just answered it. Okay, you said there was another question. Do you have another question?
CM: But you haven't really answered it. Because I'm saying, why is the corrected table, why does it say that it's clustered by state, but actually is not clustered by state?
JL: I'll look at the web page when I get home, all right? I can't look at it right now. But as I just told you, it shouldn't have said that. And the, you know, and if it said that, then that was a mistake. But....
CM: Well, I've got it right here. I mean, it's not a question.
JL: Okay. And, I'm trying to be honest with you right now....
CM: Okay.
JL: ...in terms of -- look.
CM: I know you're trying to be, but I mean, this is a discrepancy that could explain why....
JL: I don't think it does.
CM: Well, why not? It makes a big difference in the result.
JL: Look, Chris, I'm really, I'm not up to badgering right now. I've tried to answer your question.
CM: I think that you changed this. I think that you changed this, knowing that that would.....
JL: Alright, look, look....
CM: Tell me you didn't.
JL: If you have another question, I'll be happy to answer it. I've tried telling you that if it says that then that's a typo there, but it's not, it's not -- there's, but we've tried to, I've tried to make it clear to you, I thought that the tables didn't have that in there, and if it does, then...but you know, you've got the do file, people can go and run it again, and they should be similar to the types of statistical tests that Ayres and Donohue used in their paper. And it's the same type of panel data, so if they think, if the regression results should be run with a certain type of statistical test, then if anything, these are more restrictive than what they have in their paper.
CM: Okay, I still just don't understand this. I mean, it seems pretty clear that....
JL: Okay, I've tried....
CM: [continuing]...you've changed the test -- you've changed the test, and that's why you get statistically significant results and they don't.
JL: And what I'm saying is that they would have used different tests -- look, I've said it. You have it on tape, multiple times, me saying this. And -- did you have another question?
CM: No. I mean, I think that this -- I think that this goes to the heart of the whole debate over whether the coding errors matter or not.
JL: Alright, well, then I guess you can ask why they used certain tests in their first paper.
CM: But I'm asking why you used a cluster in your second paper and then not in your corrected. That's my question.
JL: And what I'm telling you is if it does say that, and I'll go and I'll check when I get home...
CM: Okay.
JL: What did I tell you?
CM: You'll go and check....
JL: No, no, no, before that. I've already said this to you before.
CM: It shouldn't say that.
JL: Right.
CM: Okay, well, you know, if it does say that -- I mean, you can check for yourself, it's right there -- but if it does say that, then I guess you're going to correct this?
JL: Well I mean, if you want to use the same types of tests that Ayres and Donohue did, which is what I believe, that's what's shown in those corrected tables. Then you can see the types of tests that they believe should be used, and what the results that you get from that are.
CM: Yeah, I mean....
JL: Let me ask you this, did they go -- have you asked them if they go and use the types of tests that they advocate [inaudible] and use them on that data, what would it look like. Have you asked them that?
CM: On what data?
JL: On the so-called data with errors. Have you asked them that?
CM: Yeah. They say that by removing this clustering, you...
JL: No no, I'm asking you. They have regressions in their paper.
CM: Of course, lots.
JL: And you asked them if they used the types of statistical tests that they use in that paper, all right, on this data, would they get a statistically significant drop in violent crime?
CM: I haven't asked them that particular question.
JL: Well, you should ask them that, because that seems like it's the core of the issue.
CM: I think this is the core of the issue. I think....
JL: Alright, well look, you have an agenda on this. I've tried answering this question for you, okay, and I've tried....
CM: Well, just answer me this. Does this kind of analysis, do you need clustering in order to get the right statistical significance, or do you not need clustering?
JL: Ayres and Donohue didn't use clustering.
CM: I'm asking if you need clustering. Do you need it?
JL: I'm saying, you should ask Ayres and Donohue why they didn't use clustering.
CM: When testing your results, they did!
JL: No no, when they presented all their regressions, and the ones that they go and claim show an increase -- and they make an error that they don't address at all, in terms of not including both the dummy and the trends together at the same time in trying to figure out the net effect, when they're just even recording just the effect from the dummies and their hybrid specifications -- what did they use? Did they use clustering or not?
CM: I don't see why that's germane. I just want to know your opinion. Does this kind of test, in Table 3A, does it need to have clustering? You're an expert. Should it have clustering?
JL: Right. I've answered the question.
CM: Is it a yes or a no?
JL: I've answered the question for you lots of times.
CM: You've never answered this one.
JL: Look, I'm not going to go into this any more. If you have another question, I'll answer it.
CM: It's very simple. I mean, do you not know whether they should have clustering? You're the Ph.D. here, and here I am, I've learned this overnight, and you're not answering my question.
JL: Well, apparently you haven't learned it, you haven't learned it as well as you might have liked to have learned it.
CM: I think I understand it well enough that either you use clustering or you don't use clustering, because there's fifty states, and there's only fifty tests, and so if you don't....
JL: Right, but here's the deal. Here's the -- you want me to explain clustering to you?
CM: I want you to tell me whether you need to use clustering!
JL: I'm going to answer your question!
CM: Okay.
JL: Here's the issue of whether you need to use clustering or not. The issue is how the errors are correlated across observations within a state. You're changing the law in most cases, but not all, at the state level. And so, now, one way you can go -- the debate, in the original literature on clustering, was using data that didn't have fixed effects for each one of the local jurisdictions. So let's say you have a state, and you have county level data. The original debate, and the types of adjustments that are done there, in the original papers that are talked about in this literature, were dealing with data that didn't have these county fixed effects. The country fixed effects by themselves pick up the differences in this error across county observations. When you go and you go and do clustering over and above that, you're in some sense double counting, because the fixed effects are already picking up this error that's correlated across counties. And when you go and do clustering over and above that, you're kind of double adjusting for it.
CM: So why did you do clustering in the original response, then?
JL: You can do it if you want to be kind of like extra super double careful in terms of doing it. And in any case, it's biased towards finding something that's there. And so the question is, what type of bias [unintelligible] do you want?
CM: Okay, and so then -- but how is it fair to put it in and then take it out? When the whole point is, you're trying to....
JL: I told you, I told you, it shouldn't have been in there.
CM: It shouldn't have been in your response, published in the Stanford law journal?
JL: It isn't my response, first of all.
CM: Right, but you authored it, and you're defending it.
JL: Yeah, I'm happy to defend it, and I'm happy to say that, if you look at the data, and anybody who goes and brings it down and looks at it, and does similar types of tests --
CM: I'm looking at the data.
JL: Okay, look, Chris, you're not being objective on this. All I'm saying is, if you do the test....
CM: I found a pretty big discrepancy here!
JL: Alright, look, if you believe that, then that's fine. Okay? I'm just telling you....
CM: You haven't convinced me of any reason why I wouldn't believe it.
JL: I just gave you an explanation for when you use clustering, okay....
CM: Right, but you also used it and didn't use it, which doesn't make any sense to me, and it can make a difference in the results. I have this on good authority from econometricians that it would make a difference in the results -- and that in fact, it's standard to use it in this kind of test.
JL: And it depends, and there's an issue of whether -- okay, well then why didn't Ayres and Donohue use it in their paper?
CM: I don't know. I know that they used it to test your results.
JL: Why don't you ask them? Okay, look. All I'm saying is, if you're making these types of categorical charges of what should or should not be used, and these people, Ayres and Donohue, don't use it in any other regression that they report in their paper -- if you can find one other regression where they do that, then I'll be interested in hearing that. But they don't use that test on any regressions that they have, they only do it, you're telling me, on the replicated stuff.
And look, besides that, I'll point to something else that's in the paper, and that is the Poisson regression. One of the things that we tried to point out -- as far as I know, they didn't try to replicate these at all in their stuff, and there's a reason why they didn't try to do that -- is that, when you go and use OLS, ordinary least squares, on this county level data, you bias the results towards not finding a result. And there's a simple reason why you're doing that, and that is, because you have, you essentially have this truncation, cause the values can't go below zero. You really need treat that as what we call count data, and, I can't remember whether it's Table 6, or whatever, that you have there.....
CM: Table 3A is the only one I'm really interested in.
JL: And why is that?
CM: Because that's the one that they corrected.
JL: Right, and why didn't they correct any of the other ones that we said were the main result?
CM: This is an example. I mean....
JL: No no no no. Look, we go and say that the Poisson is the most believable estimate that you can have in the paper, okay? They don't look at that, and besides that, you're telling me that Ayres and Donohue are convinced that you need to do clustering, and yet none of their regressions....
CM: I didn't tell you that they were convinced. I said that they're testing you after you did clustering.
JL: And I'm just asking you, if clustering is necessary, then I'd like to see you mention in your story that not one of their regressions that they did on their own had clustering.
CM: I'll have to look into that. But I guess it depends on the kind of test....
JL: Well, what happens if you find out that not one, not one single regression that they did in their paper had clustering? What would be your reaction?
CM: I would have to find out whether they needed them.
JL: Well why, it's the same dataset, right?
CM: No, this is your new data...
JL: No no no, but I'm saying, the same type of data, it's county level panel data.
CM: I guess I.....
JL: I will be interested to see whether or not you report that in your story, because if they go and are making a big deal about this, and haven't used it in even one single regression table that they point out in their original paper, that they've done, then I'd like to hear the explanation.
CM: Okay. And maybe I can ask them that, but I think it's more interesting to find out why you first used it and then didn't use it.
JL: Well, it's the same thing for them. They didn't use it, and now they did.
CM: They're testing you! They're testing your model.
JL: Right, but if they're testing me, and they want to use the regressions that they think, the statistical test that they think is the most valid test, then why don't they use that on that?
CM: They're not using the most valid test, they're using the standard that you set.
JL: Okay. Right. And...
CM: That's your test, that's why they used it to test you. I mean, they corrected the errors and ran everything else the same. That's the whole point. They corrected the coding errors, they ran everything else the same, including the clustering. Then they said your results were no longer significant. Then you went back, took out the clustering, ran the corrected results, and said they were significant. That's what happened. Right?
JL: The Poisson regression results...
CM: That's not what I'm talking about.
JL: And why?
CM: I'm talking about Table 3A. This is at the center of the whole discussion. Table 3A. You took out the clustering in Table 3A.
JL: We'll talk more if you turn off the tape recorder. Otherwise, I'm not going to talk any more right now. I have to go in any case. You said it would be five minutes.
CM: You can go any time you want. I can't force you to keep talking to me.
JL: Look, I've tried to be nice to you, and -- you know, it's just -- anyway. It will be interesting to see their explanation for why they used it in all the other stuff. And I don't think it makes a difference, people can go and look at the data....
CM: Which is exactly what I've done.
JL: Okay, and who's looked at it?
CM: I have looked at it.
JL: No no no, but who? You have an academic. Some third party. Who's looked at it?
CM: I have been going over this by e-mail with a number of people. I asked Whitley about it, I asked Plassmann about it by e-mail, and I asked Donohue about it by e-mail. And I've been sort of figuring out as I go along. It was actually Whitley who told me to look at the regression file.
JL: I told you yesterday to look at it.
CM: Well, he told me to look at it, and find out what kind of thing -- and sure enough, I mean, I found out that there was clustering in it.
JL: All right....[inaudible] appreciate your time. If there's something else you'd like to ask, I'll try to answer it.
CM: Okay, thanks very much.

Concealed Carry: ABC Apparently Prefers Fish-In-a-Barrel To OK Corral
Interviewing a student advocate of concealed carry on campus, Good Morning America's Bill Weir fretted today that it could lead to an "OK Corral" situation.
Weir spoke with Mike Guzman, a student at Texas State University and a leader of a national group called Students for Concealed Carry on Campus. Weir's opening gambit: "Are you carrying a gun now?"
Guzman said that he was, and does so everywhere but on campus. Sort of made me wish Guzman had asked Weir if he was unarmed.
You can view the video of the entire interview here, but I'd focus on this bit of editorializing by Weir:
BILL WEIR: The idea if there's two or three people in an economics class, and a gunfight breaks out, are you really saying, it's sort of like we're devolving to the OK Corral here.
Which raises the question posed in my headline. Do Weir and ABC believe that the current situation, in which killers can shoot defenseless students like fish in a barrel, is preferable to the prospect of an OK Corral in which the innocent at least have a chance?

Danny Ainge joins The Big Show to talk about the fractured relationship between the team and Ray Allen.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
-- back here to -- show. Blood -- what Michael -- Still the double give away a pair of tickets do an upcoming Celtics game. Plus course at 540 we got the -- of one right now it's our first installment. The president of basketball operations of the Boston Celtics Danny Ainge it's all brought you by -- they're tired. What season is this for you know Alan in this position in. They. They just. How many. That are. Out something -- and -- -- And and. Couple more professional sports started with air with Iran are or are you hiding in a closet right now you know what is it what is -- we -- your phone connection. I car. Are your card that maybe your trade phone I don't know what was going on something like that start with with Ray Allen casuals get an out of the way in -- you know we can. And move on. You should. -- you are you surprised. At the the hoopla that people have taken out of that first game. The -- was already underway. And -- went over to say hello to a to a few people and you're on your staff. And then KG doesn't react and everybody is talking about to see you are you surprised that the way it's blowing out. Although I opposite reaction. Pretty. Well. An awful rock. This guy -- to particulate organic beverage are really haven't troubled anywhere -- on -- -- I'd put I'd put a model. I'm gonna judge -- get in its presence. Bad connection if it's terrible -- I couldn't hear the answer any reckoning and I was just trying to. That's when things work I will -- -- backs it really a battle line with within picture's not on the speakerphone. -- may be part of the problem and all rail it's amazing it was all over television again -- ideas pianist his plan mean. It. It's unusual because a player in the middle of the game is going down there but it's an unusual situation -- -- won a championship. With a with a team. And then you get this visual in the middle of the game. And if it was pretty amazing people playing them away and hopefully play that card tried prone -- -- again and see if we get more on. Which -- We can't. Among -- you didn't think at all. That money in here. -- is -- whom is fifth after a dispute radius is Chris don't get that and in most places. You letters and -- can have a number. You have on what you had to do. Importance. Today of the pictures made trades are admitted her dad and a deal we still don't know who they gave up. Well I don't know that you know well you know what -- -- I'd I'd be surprised if they gave up a player wouldn't be surprised they gave up somebody. I would think you would be. This compensation was with Tampa. Some type of in some type of draft pick -- -- He's only Aqib Talib is only under contract till the end of the season occasionally -- -- actually end. Of this city's right and by the way we did find out that it's the number of games you missed not the number of weeks of this since this is a bye week. The world not the eight. Eligible to play -- off. -- for game four week before -- -- for -- straddled over again with the NEC Avery about a line gimmick in years now. Aimed at kids who didn't go away and end. Start -- good football. While we -- or we were this is what you call padding. As we're waiting to reconnect with you but this is a much better sounding line it was -- ours is great this is worth. It's now gone because I couldn't understand a damn word is that by the way it would be an -- would do interviews of you don't want the media to know what they do what I'm that other phone that -- -- -- The nobody -- any idea what to say. Well and -- at the studio. -- -- -- I probably also. At the other highlights don't get -- so you know still it's not going anywhere. You gave some gives an -- -- Ray Allen and we didn't hear we heard while while while while one so what are. Well that's good and wanna go back that's old news. Ray Allen ray it was refreshing actually out in the responded it's different than everybody else. And I think ray was not offended by it so like anybody else. Is this something that you saw. Quite often when you played and in the recent. There's so much reaction to it is because it's not normal. It in the 21 century to see guys who were. -- or that protective that territory -- that. -- -- -- there with the us vs them mentality. Yeah I think it's. I think that you know -- obviously had motives to come over and say -- -- -- that the team and any artist something KG was interested in in India that -- and KG. It's focused on the game and nobody knows that better than. But it happened during the game. It was a stoppage of play in the first quarter that this won't think about going up the court both forehand and saying hello to somebody. And is another thing that you're there for couple days maybe talking. In L all -- I. Obviously there's this of animosity here docked at this morning said that he hasn't spoken. To raise since -- left which I think is quite interest thank have you. I've tried to reach out to ray yeah and -- at what what's the reaction he -- -- -- the same number. And so I didn't even realize that until recently. But he had responded that but he is what would respond. So you're you're reaching out to some guy in Tacoma. To get this. Figured it was Ray Allen -- actually wondered about that little. What what did you -- what was your you lose your big take away from the game on Tuesday. You know I just I did not think we we played well I didn't think we were very aggressive. Offensively or defensively offensively it felt like we were trying to take shortcuts and eat sensibly it just didn't feel like we were. Aggressively throughout the course of the game we didn't attack them we -- we were reacting to what they were doing. And you know I'd I'd I'd really like our team I think thirteen going to be good but it -- I didn't think we played very well. Talk about this whole offseason as you look at the the names here Jason Terry. Courtney Lee and you got Barbosa here recently and of course we know about traffic in and Salinger and and Darko Milicic. You try to build like San Antonio is it a matter of you look at what San Antonio was able to deal with a couple of veteran players down there. And be able to distribute minutes of monks talented players who could win a lot of games during the regular season is that is that the the blueprint here. I don't think there's a blueprint print media would try to get the best players every summer. And sometimes you get some good fortune in this 32 in doubt they're trying to get good players especially when you have limited resources. We decided to bring KG back in and -- side Brandon in -- You know we had limited resources at that point and we were able to get Jason Terry and accordingly. And those were great get spur us. With what we had to go yet and then and then I think. You know Bennett started that -- we were a team that was one of the most attractive piece for some of the players that were left at minimum that we thought were good deals like Chris Wilcox and and dark oh. Our post there at the end we were we talked with our votes at the very beginning of the summer. -- we've we have interest in him all summer but he -- by the marketplace that one out there and we were very fortunate that we he was still around late. -- is gonna give a lot of credit for having a terrific offseason but according to you you just got lucky you were unlucky in past years -- Well you know I'm saying that it's it's you know sometimes you -- I think the reason why we. We had a good off season was because we were a team that there was an opportunity for guys supply. I think they've Courtney saw an opportunity once -- decided to leave them are also believes in himself as a player still like there's an opportunity there. And you know sparkles are -- You'll -- seems let go away on the he's an opportunity to play are on a good team and guys wanna win and they wanna play good team. We have a good coach the players wanna complaints or. And players like Kevin Garnett we talked about earlier and guys. That's like playing with with Kevin Garnett Paul Pierce said and -- genre. Ought to switch gears and ask you about. The commissioner and he's announced that. He's got to be retiring in February 2014. Does that affect does that affect you at all does that affect the way you deal with the league office. Do you suddenly start talking this over more than you've talked to stern. Isn't. If it doesn't affect you and anyway this news. No I think that would probably be good question -- we're I think we're probably has more interaction with David Stern. Dead and the rest of the basketball operations staff coaches I think that. Things won't change from my. I deal more with Adam silver and and was told it then and Stu Jackson and that and that group of guys anyway. And I mean that he gave it a few times a year in and we exchanged pleasantries but other than that don't have much contact with David. -- one guy you obviously felt could be an important piece to this team because you gave an awful lot of money is Jeff Green. And we know what he's coming off of and we also stormont a pre season I thought he was -- rhetoric he might have been your best player during the pre season and yet the other night watching him. I don't know whether. In the first game jitters I don't know in on you know the kid I'd I don't know. That may be looked at what he had to go through the past year. Passive it looked very similar to what we saw in that first year when he was here not only one game. But what are you CNN and what happened from the pre season and we saw the other night. Well I appreciate it was different in that you know you run and stop surgeon out you're trying to get Jeff involved in you're putting him in positions. They call it plays I think the other night you know it's regular season Rondo on the court for 44 minutes all played a lot of minutes KG played. A lot of minutes I think that. There's just not enough balls to go around some -- to the bench players that that you get -- -- that would. Jeff Green Jason Terry court and he. Jared sellinger branded apps and meet both guys are secondary players or off the ball players and I think that we need. Two maybe three of those guys to have. Really good game every night but not all of them -- Jeff at a tough matchup the other night we airplane and strictly before we didn't really have any matchup advantages. For him like she had me in the pre season. And we weren't trying to exploit those matchups because LeBron was playing most of the game the first three quarters anyway -- -- on the court. Think it's one game I didn't think he was there and I think we're all strong twice since all adds up. -- for -- we didn't finish but chopped pork free throws he missed a couple shots that he had made. You know those driving right -- -- just you know that just didn't go and I would read anything into that. All right what they based on -- done. Are you a little bit concerned based on the roll you just the game because I don't think Kerry's gonna have a problem coming off the bench is a start -- pennant and it in the past year but. I didn't ask Cuba but that's okay. Add up and bringing up Jeff Green in that you need him I would think to have a really big year are you concerned a little -- in that. And honesty and you can't get into the flow of the game if you playing 38 minutes during the course of the game and applaud the regular rotation you get into the game and you develop your office. Are you a little bit concerned that if it is. Up but now minutes and different portions of the game. That he doesn't embrace that necessarily. Knowledge at all embrace it looks and luckily we got that the other night it traded hard. Okay Eagles in place now achieved the man he's been a bench player for Oklahoma City -- good. It's even had a really bad playoffs last year. But you know sums up the first game when he's in a different role in -- 37. Jeff Green without lecturing you can't because he played more minutes than anybody else and training camp he was in a rhythm and groove. What I'm saying is is that sometimes bench players don't let the starters on our team. Because we have such a deep bench sometimes our starters won't not everybody will give him a group -- that you can't get more than.

Hey, dermatologist just took me off accutane for 3-4 weeks to try and see if my blood work will get back to normal. I have been on it for a full 3 months at 60mg a day and my acne has cleared pretty well. I'm just curious how bad it will come back after not using it for about a month. I'm 5'7,120 pound male.
Off Accutane After 3 Months. Will Acne Come Back?
Doctor Answers 1
Stopping Accutane
The purpose of Accutane is to get the correct amount of mg of the medication into your body, which is based on mg, weight, and type and severity of acne. If your acne is pretty clear and you've been taking it regularly, I don't think it should "come back" that quickly. But you can ask your physician what he/she was expecting to happen.

PressestimmenDuring the last 30 years I have visited various parts of the world scarred by wars or war-like conditions. In these situations I often observed that traumatized refugees or internally displaced persons dropped dead without any apparent reason. However, I was also sometimes amazed to observe that other individuals in such locations were able to keep their self-esteem and dignity, adapt to the tragedies, and even offer leadership to those around them, helping to lift their spirits. This book taught me a great deal about the psychology of resilience, a very new field of psychodynamic investigation, and reminded me that trauma studies are not complete without the inclusion of developing theories about unbroken souls. -- Vamik D.

Cold Fireby Dean Koontz
Reporter Holly Thorne is intrigued by Jim Ironheart, who has saved 12 lives in the past three months. Holly wants to know what kind of power drives him, why terrifying visions of a churning windmill haunt his dreams, and just what he means when he whispers in his sleep that an enemy who will kill everyone is coming. "Koontz's sleekest novel in years!"--Kirkus.

I am reviewing my favorite book I have read this year Cold Fire by Dean Koontz. It is a science fiction/action novel that will have you on the edge of your seat. The story begins in southern California , Laguna Niguel. The main charactar is Jim Ironheart and Koontz takes him on one heck of a ride. Anyone that likes action movies will love this book. This book relates to all young high school students, college students or slightly older. I have had this book for a year I bought it at a yard sale to bring my Koontz total to a shocking twenty five books. It is the fifth book of my collection I have read this year and it was hands down the one book I refused to put down. The main character Jim Ironheart has saved twelve live in three months and a reporter Holly Thorne is intrigued by him. . He is doing amazing things like flying from Laguna Niguel to Portland to save a boy from being ran over by a drunk driver in the last second. He don't know why he does these random heroic acts saving lives. So is Mr. Jim Ironheart a gifted or a physic. I can guarantee you'll have a great time figuring it out. The most bizarre thing is it all started at on old Wind Mill. This book has non stop action fast cars, explosions, gun shooting, aliens its all here. This is hands down a classic if you have never read Dean Koontz I strongly recommend this book.
You won't want to put this one down, great story new twists and turns. Right up there in the class of Watchers and Strangers.
I read this book this winter i cpuld not put it down...even when i wasnt reading i was wondering what gonna happen...Great book
I really enjoyed this book, and those that say it was predictable how the hec do you get that..?? It didnt turn out like I expected at all!!!...I couldnt hardly put the book down..couldnt wait to see what was going to happen next...and the ending did surprise me...!! Enjoyed it thoroughly...!!
This is by far one of the best Koontz books I've read. Couldn't put it down. Keeps you guessing with twists and turns until the very end. Classic Koontz style. This was my second read. Will most definitely read it again in the future.
My first Koontz book I got for xmas. My wife knows I love to read. So I delved into this book not knowing how Koontz was as an author. Well, let me tell you that each chapter reveals more and more of our friend Jim and his prescient power. From his extremelly horrific dreams that Holly and him share to his outings to save the day, we are filled with such intense heart pounding suspense that verily I tell you now, I have a VERY hard time setting it down to do other stuff at the end of a chapter. Great Book. Looking forward to MORE KOONTZ!!
This was my first Dean Koontz novel I have ever read, and let me just say, it did not dissappoint! The story line is riveting and pulls the reader in from almost the very first page. Jim Ironheart and Holly Thorne are two of the most intriguing characters I've ever read about and I could not wait to find out what happens to them next. Some novels become cluttered with too many characters to keep track of but this one only focuses on Jim and Holly, with minor characters along the way and I greatly enjoyed that. Overall, this was an excellent read and probably one of the best books I've ever read, it keeps you going until the last page. I can't wait to start my next Dean Koontz novel!!
I have read almost everything Koontz has written. This is by far the best ever! I found this by accident when researching writing styles here at B&N.com. Dean has written a new forward in this book explaining why this is his favorite of his books. He also explains why he will never allow a movie to be made of this story. OMG! I cried when I finished it, I did not want it to end. So many times I have read a story that feels like the author did not know how to finish or resolve the plot. Goodness; what an ending! You will not be disappointed with this brilliant work!
Throughout the whole novel we are kept guessing as to what drives Jim Ironheart to save certain lives. Jim seems like a very troubled fellow but likable. We root for him when he races across the continent to save some 10 year old boy. We root for him when he's wandering in the desert looking for himself. We root for him when the plane he is on is about to crash. And we root for him when he finally sees his past and his world comes tumbling down.
Coldfire is both a supernatural and psychological thriller. At parts it is downright terrifying! We wait to see what the horrifying nightmares of the windmill suffered by both Holly and Jim mean. There is a twist at the end that I never saw coming. I don't think I'll ever look at a windmill again without remembering this book
This was the first Dean R. Koontz book I read but it made me want to get all the Koontz books available. This book was Great! Totally awesome.
Jim Ironheart is a man who puts himself right in the path of Death and Danger with a fearless expression in his very blue eyes. The very first time we meet him, he's having one of his "visions" or premonitions about someone dying and he has to go save them. During this little adventure, he meets Holly Thorne, a journalist for a newspaper who decides eventually to quit her job and join forces with Jim because he is so extraordinary. And she's crazy in love with him.After only knowing him for like ten minutes...Anyway, the whole first part of the book--because it's divided into three parts--is meant to show you Jim's good, heroic side. We're supposed to see how he tries to live a purposeful life by saving random people from random tragic events. Most of them are children (understandably so since he was traumatized as a child and probably feels like by saving children, he's giving the hurt child within himself some closure from the past) and all of them are kind of neat in the detail that Koontz provides. So in the second part, we focus on deciphering how Jim knows these things. We learn that it has something to do with a windmill that he spent a lot of his time in when he was growing up. He lost his parents when he was ten and he was sent to live with his grandparents, so like any traumatized child, he took great refuge in something strange and secluded: like the windmill. But this is seriously weird stuff. The walls of the windmill start glowing; Holly is having these dreams that are memories of Jim's past; something--called The Friend--inside the windmill starts to talk to them; The Enemy materializes in broad daylight for everyone to see. I'm disappointed with the way things went, though. I expected--or rather, anticipated, hoped--for something entirely different to come out of this. In no way did I buy the whole alien thing. Like Holly, I was a skeptic as to the glowing wall and all that. But unlike Holly, I was not so easy to accept the truth of what was going on. Oh well. I have to give Koontz some credit for using awesome metaphors and analogies to get his point across. His detail was tangible and poignant, not empty and hallow like some sci-fi writers. Every detail mattered so if you read this book, pay attention. I know I've given a lot away but it's worth the read anyway. If for no other reason than the journey.
