While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Oldsmobile vehicles, these days the necessity for nothing but the absolute best are required to maintain your car or truck. Oldsmobile automobile enthusiasts have become used to a certain level of high-value when driving their L-37 around town. When your Oldsmobile L-37 rolled off the assembly line, it was destined for a person with discerning taste who values a trusted name in their automobile. It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Idler Arm for your vehicle.
If none of our cars or trucks had steering systems, then we'd all drive in a straight line. That would be very dull for Oldsmobile L-37 owners, and it would also mean that automobiles wouldn't need an idler arm. Before the steering rack and pinion was used, a system of links with ball joints at each end actuated all of the steering motions, and your Oldsmobile L-37 idler arm provides the single pivot around which all the other components turn. A broken idler arm means you will have trouble turning, parking, or dodging obstacles in the road.
At Car Parts Discount, we have live customer service members on the phone with enough expertise to help you buy the appropriate Oldsmobile L-37 part for your project or repair. Bring your L-37 back to life with the best new or rebuilt parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount. Procuring new Oldsmobile parts from www.carpartsdiscount.com means you are getting the best deal on the highest quality original and aftermarket replacement L-37 parts on the internet. When it comes to Oldsmobile L-37 Idler Arm parts, you can find them for 1937 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Had a good time cranking debut CD (EP) of "The Goatbox Rebel". Dirty and raw Blues Rock from Central Canada. Fairly heavy in spots and with a touch of grind and gravel "The Goatbox Rebel" is going for something and not playing it safe. You can hear those old fashioned blues licks that remind me of Delta Blues and the imperfect scratchy vocals more reminiscent of the original tenant farmers then the blue-eyed schmaltz of suburban blues. This will be sure to alienate the massive gelatinous establishment that makes up many so-called Blues fans that prefer their Blues polished as their silverware. If you are not offended by "Clutch" or "Jack White" when they play the Blues Rock, then you are more likely to enjoy "The Goatbox Rebel".
The first track "401″ is probably the most divisive giving me the impression of a busking Rob Zombie channeling Robert Johnson. I enjoyed "401″ on repeat listens especially the lyrics but my first impression was to skip to more immediately endearing tracks like "Promised Land" and "Born With A Tail". The inclusion of a live track of "Promised Land" was a nice touch.
The CD sound good on my mp3 player, my laptop and my 5.1 computer sound system so I have no complaints there. On my classic analog Technics system the vocals seemed to sit atop the mix on "401″ and the percussion on "Born With A Tail" sounded more like a click track then anything else. If anyone noticed the same issue with an analog system please include a comment. or tweet @crushwb
Gritty, dirty and back to basics Blues Rock. You know where you stand with "The Goatbox Rebel" and if you are offended then its more an issue of you walking into the wrong bar at wrong end of town.

Study's solution to no-shows: overbooking
■ Examining a long-used travel industry practice, researchers found overbooking could be an efficient way to deal with the extra time created by patient no-shows.
- » Effects of overbooking
- » Risks of overbooking
Just as airlines routinely overbook flights to ensure all seats on the planes are filled, some physicians could overbook their schedules to ensure that all the time slots in their schedules are filled, according to a recent study.
Two University of Colorado researchers published a study that shows how overbooking patients could increase practice productivity and reduce idle time caused when patients don't keep appointments. In January, the study won the 2007 Best Paper Award from Decision Sciences, an academic journal about operations management and decision-making within organizations.
The researchers developed a computerized simulation tool that runs analyses based on specific attributes of the practice, such as size, patient demographics and average length of appointments, to help determine when to overbook, and by how many patients, or if it's even feasible.
In many ways, practices already do this through "squeezing in" patients, said researchers Linda LaGanga, PhD, and Steve Lawrence, PhD.
"I think everyone's first reaction to overbooking in heath care is, 'That's got to be awful,' and we thought that, too," said Dr. Lawrence, an associate professor of operations management at the University of Colorado at Boulder Leeds School of Business. He is an adviser to Dr. LaGanga, who conducted the research for her dissertation as a PhD candidate and is now an instructor at Leeds. "But we knew it happened, so we wanted to see when benefits exceed the costs."
The Colorado research is one of the latest of many studies looking at how practices can maximize their efficiency by dealing with their no-show problems, beyond a sign threatening a $25 charge for a missed appointment. Other research has focused on finding ways to reduce no-shows, rather than the Colorado assumption that they will happen. One researcher said the risk of overbooking is that if patients do show, wait times will increase.
"In airlines when you overbook, you bump customers, and they are the ones who pay the price for overbooking. The rest of the plane goes fine. The problem in health care is if you overbook, it will cause delays for other patients and that needs to be considered," said Suresh Chand, PhD, a Purdue University management professor. He, along with Herbert Moskowitz, PhD, also a Purdue management professor, completed a two-year study in 2006 on improving practice efficiencies, determining that a mix of open-access and appointment scheduling was the best way to maximize practice efficiency and account for no-shows.
Dr. Lawrence agreed that "the real cost is if you do overbooking, there will be patient waits and overtime to be sure." But he argues that overbooking could still be beneficial for some practices. The dilemma is determining when it might work or when the stakes are too high.
Value of waiting
Dr. LaGanga, who is also director of quality systems and operational excellence at the Mental Health Center of Denver, a state-contracted facility, said the model allows users to place a value on wait time and productivity. The computer simulation she created through her research is not available for general use, although she is considering developing a Web site where it can be accessed.
For small private practices where the percentage of no-shows is low, the value placed on limiting wait times likely will be greater than for a busy practice that serves mostly managed care members, for example, or a specialty practice where the competition is minimal. So, in general, the practices for which benefits of overbooking outweigh the risks likely will be large, busy practices that have a high percentage of no-shows, the researchers said.
Health care consultant Cynthia Ethier, with Weymouth, Mass.-based Beacon Partners, said she has clients who have tried overbooking. "To be honest with you ... I'm not sure they have such great patient satisfaction," she said. Many serve a large indigent or Medicaid population and place a higher value on productivity, she said.
Dr. Lawrence said although these clinics shouldn't ignore patient satisfaction, the mentality is much different than in a cash-based specialty clinic where patients pay out of pocket and have higher expectations.
A misconception of overbooking is that it means double-booking, Dr. LaGanga said. But overbooking could be as simple as shortening the time between visits or increasing the number of visits for a particular time of day.
While the computerized simulations are too complicated to do by hand, a simple solution is to shorten the time between appointments relative to the average rate of no-shows, Dr. Lawrence said.
For example, if the average no-show rate is 30%, and the average time allotted per visit is 15 minutes, a practice could reduce that 15 minutes by 30% and allow only 10.5 minutes per appointment, resulting in more appointment slots. That's really the goal, Dr. Lawrence said -- to increase capacity so fewer patients are turned away.
Ethier said many practices she deals with have found that new patients are more likely not to show up, or to arrive late, so practices will strategically double-book in a way that won't put the physician behind schedule if both patients show up. For example, when a new patient is given a 45-minute time slot for initial evaluation, it's not uncommon for a follow-up appointment for an existing patient to be scheduled for the first 15 minutes of the new patient's time slot.
Factoring in the behavior of patients and using a probability model as opposed to a simulation model, based on averages, is a safer way to make predictions, said Dr. Moskowitz, who used probability models in his research with Dr. Chand.
"It's not the averages that kill you. It's the variations on the averages," Dr. Moskowitz said. Probabilities based on experience and human characteristics are much more reliable, he added.
Dr. LaGanga acknowledges that overbooking should in no way eliminate the goal of reducing no-shows. The fewer the no-shows, the less uncertainly involved in running simulations, she said.
Dave Gans, vice president of practice management resources for the Medical Group Management Assn., said in some practices open access could be the solution, but overbooking should not be ruled out in others.
He said if a clinic is running with a 20% no-show rate, even after efforts to reduce that rate, "it makes sense to overbook."
But even practices that determine an extra wait won't send patients packing shouldn't take the patients' time for granted. "Patients have an opportunity to make a choice, too," Gans said.
So will physicians, like airlines, soon start offering $100 and a free round-trip ticket to anyone willing to give up their seat in the exam room?
Not out of the question, Dr. LaGanga said, though she figures any incentives will be more modest, such as gift cards.

Android 4.4 to be called KitKat; Google and Hershey forge a sweet deal
Google has for the first time chosen a brand-name candy for its Android 4.4 version that's expected to launch this fall.
New York: Gimme a break, Google. Break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.
The tech giant, which is known for nicknaming its Android mobile operating systems for smartphones and tablets after desserts, has for the first time chosen a brand-name candy for its 4.4 version that's expected to launch this fall: KitKat.
That's right, the new version shares a name with the chocolate candy bar with the well-known "Gimme a Break" jingle. Kit Kat packaging will show Android's green robot mascot breaking a Kit Kat bar.
Financial terms weren't disclosed for the sweet deal between Google and Hershey Co., which makes Kit Kat. But the deal shows that naming a stadium or sponsoring a TV show can be seen as old school. The latest marketing craze may be to slap a brand name on a tech product.
Google approached Hershey about six to nine months ago for permission to use the name, said Jennifer Podhajsky, vice president of US chocolate at Hershey, which licenses the Kit Kat brand in the US, while Nestle owns the worldwide brand.
Podhajsky said that Kit Kat's jingle is a good fit for people taking a break to look at their smartphones or tablets. She added that the deal appeals to Hershey because Android hits the sweet spot of Kit Kat eaters, who are typically between the ages of 18 and 34.
"Kit Kat consumers are young, vibrant consumers of candy and chocolate bars, and that's a nice match with Android," Podhajsky said.
The Kit Kat name was unexpected since tech pundits have speculated for months that the next operating system would be called Key Lime Pie. Marc Vanlerberghe, director of Android Marketing, said the name was chosen because Kit Kat bars have been a "favorite go-to snack among the team since the early days of Android."
The Android 4.4 Kit Kat system is expected to launch in October. The software is now running on more than 750 million smartphones and tablets throughout the world, making it the world's most widely used mobile operating system.

New Provocateur
Our very own Co-Founder Marissa Vosper celebrated as one of Refinery29's 15 Women Transforming The Face Of Fashion Now
"Lingerie can be provocative in and of itself. But, comfortable lingerie that still manages to be sexy without lace, frills, and overly padded push-ups? Now that's impressive... While she spends her days helping companies (like ours) develop new visual and digital identities, she uses her nights to quietly revolutionize the definition of sexy with body-embracing, instead of body-altering, underthings."
Oh Refinery29, you sure know how to make a girl blush
...in her Negative underwear of course :)

Don't throw in that towel yet! Here's one easy solution: Configure Tomcat so that .htm pages are handled as jsps. This is easy to do: Modify the web.xml (for the server, not the application itself) so that the jsp servlet handles .htm files. Also .htm should be taken out of the mime types of web.xml in that same file. Obviously, be very careful that all your static html files are .html if you do this. One advantage of this is that it means that your server isn't advertising what kind of back-end technology it is using.

I know, that's not what you would expect to hear from the owner of a large online retailer, but Red Dress Boutique isn't just any retailer. So I'm asking something of you, consider it a favor; just hear me out—it's that important to me.
Don't shop today.
So many holidays are marketed as 'occasions to spend with family'—to make memories, to enjoy time together, to be grateful—but out of the same mouth we hear the whispered temptations of, "Thanksgiving Sale," and "50% Off," or "Shop Today for Special Deals!" I look at the ads, the emails, the commercials, and wonder what other people think when they hear these conflicting messages. I've been on both sides of the fence, and because I've irreparably lost something that you may still have, I need to say this before it's too late for you.
Don't shop today. Please. Not one sale. We're a family company, through and through. And while we love each other as we are now, there's a distinct absence this morning. I feel it in the air, in my bones, in my heart. And I promise that if you don't take time right now to hug and pay attention to those loved ones, you may not get the chance to next year. I'm not trying to be morbid, just blunt, because it's that dire a message. I wish I could take every one of you by the shoulders, and shake you, tell you to wake up and enjoy these moments while they're here because you're on a ticking clock and likely don't realize it.
Don't shop today.
While your dad is hovering in the kitchen, poking and prodding the turkey and grumbling about how ravenous he is, go join him. Steal bits of food and revel in those pilfered bites, with your partner in crime, like they're the best bites you've ever taken. They might very well be.
Don't shop today.
Sit with your grandmother and look her into the eyes and really, truly listen as she talks about the way things used to be. Take a moment to appreciate the vast quantities of cookies, pies and cakes that materialized from that wonderful woman's arms—smell them, taste them, remember what they looked like. They're beautiful, so is she, and this could be your last opportunity to actually thank her, through your attention to her, for all of her efforts. She has incredible things to tell you, if you'll just put your phone down and hear them.
Don't shop today.
Help your mom in the kitchen as she cooks enough food for an army of fifty, slaving away like it's the last meal any of you will ever eat. Maybe somewhere deep down all mothers know how little time we have on this earth. Perhaps that's where part of this message is stemming from. Not just the things I have lost, but my son … the brave, precocious little thing who, even as I type this, is dragging out all of his toys so they can have Thanksgiving with us. New souls, and old souls seem to have that in common—the keen understanding of what matters and what doesn't. Granted, for my five year old, it's not all the time (try telling him he can't have cookies after dinner, and my theory is instantly debunked). But every now and then, during moments like this one, he has that sense of knowing … that deep understanding of how absurd it is to do anything other than pay attention to those who are right in front of you.
Don't shop today.
Help your little one do whatever it is they're doing that is the most important thing in the world to them right now. Doesn't matter what it is, or what it's taking the place of. Your hair can go uncurled, your outfit doesn't have to be perfect. Again, not what you'd expect from a women's clothing boutique. But guess what? If I don't tell you, who will? Who is going to beg you to enjoy this day for the unbelievable blessing that it is? Why am I? Because my daddy, and my grandmother aren't here anymore. The poking and prodding is left to friends or other family members, the grumbling about the good old days is left to me, and there's that absence that I mentioned earlier. Because although I have never shopped on Thanksgiving day, I've always treasured it for the miracle that it is. And now, that miracle is a little different, and I'm compelled to plead my case for your sake, and hope it's well received.
So don't shop today.
And take a lesson from me. Spend today being thankful. Spend TOMORROW shopping.
Love, Diana (Mrs. Red Dress Boutique)

Mike Pope Signature Viceroy
*Click on the Thumbnail for the full-sized image*
Designed in close consultation with our good friend and renowned bass player, Mike Pope, the Fodera Viceroy is intended to be the most tonally versatile Fodera electric bass guitar ever built. It's shape draws inspiration from our ever-popular Monarch and Emperor lines and was requested by Mike because he wanted an offset body…but one that was less offset than the Emperor.
A Honduran Mahogany body was used in combination with a Pommele Sapele top because of their relative tonal neutrality — thereby allowing adjustments to both the removable fingerboard extension and movable bridge pickup to make the maximum possible impact on the overall tonal character of the Viceroy.
The removable fingerboard extension allows the Viceroy to easily transition back and forth between being a 20-fret bass (great for slapping) and a 24-fret bass (great for upper register solo work), while not compromising the playability or tone of either. An ingenious muting system allows the player to touch one of the four screws on the back of the instrument (that secure the bolt-on neck) to kill all output from preamp when the fingerboard extension is either added or removed.
The adjustable bridge pickup tray can easily be moved on the fly in 1/8″ increments to change the tonal character of the Viceroy from a warm, mellow vintage vibe, to a downright aggressive, articulate modern tone (and everything in between), all without ever touching the tone controls! Unlike some earlier industry attempts at achieving this kind of flexibility, our adjustable pickup tray was designed from the ground up through collaboration between Mike Pope (obviously a topnotch Pro Player) and Scott Ecelberger (a world class engineer and machinist).
String spacing is set at a comfortable (and narrower than Fodera standard) 17.5mm at the bridge…
Finally, a bass guitar designed for the pro player that needs the ultimate in flexibility without sacrificing anything! Have we mentioned that without Mike Pope's inspired, creative thinking and energy, there never could have been a Fodera Viceroy? Thank you Mike.

Body Wood Options
- Mahogany Body

Get the Magpies newsletter
16:58 20th August 2011
10-man Notts County were defeated 2-1 by Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon at Hillsborough.
Wednesday dictated much of the play in the first 45 but failed to make the most of their territorial advantage. This enabled Notts to go in at the break a goal to the good, courtesy of a well-placed Jeff Hughes penalty.
Julian Bennett equalised shortly into the second period and Gary Madine added a second on 66 minutes, leaving County chasing the game. Getting back on level terms was made a sterner task when Neal Bishop was shown a second yellow card and Notts were unable to find a way back.
Following the exciting 3-2 triumph over Tranmere Rovers on Tuesday night, the Magpies were looking to make it back-to-back wins in front of the Hillsborough crowd. Three changes were orchestrated from the side that started against Rovers, with Karl Hawley, Alan Judge and Hamza Bencherif drafted into the starting 11.
Cristian Montano and Craig Westcarr dropped to the bench, whereas Ricky Ravenhill was ruled out through injury, following a heavy knock to the head. However, the midfielder was present on the sideline to show his support for the team and applauded the travelling fans ahead of kick-off.
Wednesday set the tempo early on and wideman Ben Marshall was causing the Notts rearguard a few problems on both wings. His first centre, from the left, evaded everyone and Lewis Buxton had an effort blocked by Mike Edwards, before blazing over on the rebound.
From the right flank, Marshall's next delivery wasn't cleared, allowing David Prutton space to shoot. The midfielder composed himself and rifled powerfully into the side-netting.
Despite this early pressure, it was County that took the lead, after Chris Lines had handled inside the area. As he did so coolly against Tranmere, Jeff Hughes tucked away the spot-kick, striking into the bottom-right corner, out of Nicky Weaver's reach.
The hosts threatened to draw level through Madine, when he latched onto Prutton's diagonal pass, but his cutback was intercepted by Stuart Nelson's extended glove. Madine then struck wide from 25 yards, after Judge had been stripped of possession.
Bishop almost made it 2-0 to County on 21 minutes, when he latched onto Hawley's lay-off to fire just past the post. At the other end, an unmarked Clinton Morrison headed over from Lines' dangerous swinging free kick.
The Owls kept up the pressure as the match edged towards the break but they were unable to find the final ball. This was combined with Notts' organisation and willingness to throw bodies on the line, which became a source of frustration for the home fans.
On 52 minutes, Wednesday equalised through Bennett. It appeared that the ball had gone out of play, only for Morrison to chip towards the back post, where Bennett slammed through a hoard of players, who had attempted to block on the goal line.
The goal prompted a substitution by Notts, with Cristian Montano replacing Judge. Montano was immediately in the thick of the action and was twice denied by Danny Batth's challenges, during lengthy spell of pressure.
Weaver then pushed away Montano's goal-bound header, after he'd pulled away from his marker to connect with Jeff Hughes' out-swinging corner. In reply, Marshall nodded Reda Johnson's long throw at goal, though Nelson collected neatly.
In the 66th minute, the hosts made it 2-1 through Madine. Buxton had burst down the right to deliver a teasing low cross that was crashed against the roof of the net by Madine.
Bencherif tested Weaver with a strike that skidded off the greasy surface shortly before being removed. Westcarr was his replacement and he almost made it 2-2 with 16 minutes left on the clock.
Inside the area, Hughes met Westcarr's run with a weighted lay-off and the forward only had Weaver to beat. But, his left-footed hit flew past the top corner.
County then went down to 10 men, after Bishop was shown a second yellow card. Still, Martin Allen maintained a three-pronged attack, as his team searched for a leveller.
Montano found room behind the Wednesday backline thanks to Lee Hughes but was pushed wide of goal by the goalkeeper. The forward resorted to chipping towards Hawley, whose volley was charged down.
In the final minute of regulation play, Jeff Hughes' hold-up play allowed Westcarr to blast high and wide. This left four minutes of added time for the Magpies to salvage something from the fixture but the late bombardment of the home box proved fruitless.

Tramps Like Us
Shawn Lukitsch, co-owner of the North Carolina independent production company Agency Films, will never forget the first time he hopped a train. He was in Milwaukee, and his roommate had just skipped town with the rent money. So Lukitsch went down to the snowy railyard and jumped on a train heading to Wisconsin and he's ridden the rails every chance he's had since. "Every mile is its own story," he says. "A lot of people liken a boxcar door to a TV featuring naked America."
Since independent film and train-hopping seemed such a natural fit, Agency Films is hosting the Hobo Film Festival, screening tonight at 9 p.m. at 3 Kings Tavern, 60 South Broadway. The selection of features and short films included aren't just about celebrating the freedom and beauty of locomotive wanderlust; they're also immortalizing an endangered part of U.S. culture. "Train-riding is so ingrained in American history," notes Lukitsch, "and it isn't going to last much longer."
To help with the cause, hop a ride to the festival and pony up the $4 entry fee. For more information, go to www.myspace.com/3KingsTavern or call 303-777-7370.

How do you choose a series to read?
Crime, Thriller & Mystery
Join LibraryThing to post.
This topic is currently marked as "dormant"—the last message is more than 90 days old. You can revive it by posting a reply.
As an adult I've never been a series reader, in any genre. However, recently I've been seeing the appeal of finding a character you enjoy and whose story continues throughout multiple books.
My question is, especially in the crime/mystery genre - how on earth do you find a series that you like? There are just SO MANY.
I've recently started reading the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell and I also heard about the Kathleen Mallory series by Carol O'Connell through another thread somewhere else comparing the main character to Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. I've been on the lookout for other series, but like I said - there are just so many out there. How do you find the ones that appeal to you?
Mostly recommendations from friends or this community. I follow some series still and some I've dropped (Scarpetta being one of the first to go). Some authors sustain their series well and some don't and I feel no guilt when they don't. There has to be more than the plot of each one to keep me; characters, long-arc situations, backstory, something. And of course the individual crimes have to be good as well; a clunker here and there doesn't worry me if the rest of the package is strong.
Different series for different moods! I have a blog at http://booksmoviesandgames.wordpress.com/ and many of the entries are a column that I write for our local library. It is about mysteries and most of them are about series. I give a very brief description of the ones mentioned. Browsing through there might give you some names to start with and then you could check them out here to see reviews! Good luck, there are some great ones out there.
Look into Tess Gerritsen's Rizzoli and Isles series. The TV series by the same name is based on the books. Another favorite of mine is Karin Slaughter's Sara Linton/ Grant County series. After reading these I quite Kay Scarpetta.
The series I read do depend on the characterisation of the main protagonist but foremost the ones I choose depend on the 'type' of premise, or 'type' of crime even. By this I mean I would not like to invest in a heap of reading when I don't enjoy, for example only, psychological thrillers, or serial killers, or police procedurals, even if I liked the main character.
So I firstly decide on that - and then I find I want to read the whole series when I also like the style of writing (another important element when reading a long line of books) and become invested in the characters' fates.
add: I try the first in a series - often from reading threads and reviews on this site, or what my connections add or rate (this being lethal to my TBR pile) - and this helps me decide on which to try, and then whether to continue, as series both improve or decline as more books are written.
I also find (these days) taking a break and reading other genres in between books (maybe read 2, at the most 3 in a row) increases my enjoyment of the series.
And as mysterymax says: mood. :)
I generally get a lot of information about a certain author or recent release from suggestions on LT, friends, or amazon.com. About a year or so ago, however, I was reading the book reviews in People magazine and read about the latest in the Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear. It appealed to me for a few reasons: it's set in London, it's a historical mystery (1930's), and it deals with the psychological aspects of crime solving as opposed to a police procedural. I'm one of those readers that needs to read a series in order so I found the first in the series, Maisie Dobbs, and I've been a faithful reader since then. The mysteries are more cozy than intensely criminal and I like that.
I'm going to agree with the others in this post and agree that the Kay Scarpetta series aren't that compelling. They tend to be more about being "thrillers" than mysteries.
Take a look at someone's library on this site that you have a lot of books in common with and perhaps you'll find a series you love.
A great blog, mysterymax, I plan to go there often! In reference to Jewish sleuths, I really enjoyed the series by Batya Gur, Police procedurals set in modern-day Israel featuring Police Superintendent Michael Ohanyon. There are six books in English. They are long books, but I found them fascinating. Unfortunately, Ms. Gur passed away in 2005.
Other things I am interested in often lead me to good series, e.g.; interest in Elizabeth I led to series by Fiona Buckley and by Karen Harper.
Thanks, marell! I am going to put that series on my TBR list.
The thriller series authors that keep me busy reading are Vince Flynn, Daniel Silva, Lee Child, David Baldacci (he just started one with Zero Day, Robert Crais, Harlan Coben, Christopher Reich, and Joseph Finder.
In my case, I read a lot of mysteries and if a series/ author is good that's goes on my list. Many series improve with time--I'd say Deborah Crombie, Reginald Hill's Dalziel and Pascoe and Jane Haddam's Demarkian books all improved over the series. Some slip--see Scarpetta!, and some tend to have roughly the same quality along the way whether good or bad, while others are hot and miss. Lawrence Block's Matthew Scudder is good from the get-go. Got my start on some,oldies like Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe.
I love strong women protagonists and find Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone stories compelling. Sara Paretsky's V.I.Warshawsky tales , a somewhat tougher heroine here , are also excellent plus I love the Chicago setting. Other series reads which can be excellent are Police procedurals. In the last year I have discovered Peter Robinson's Alan Banks series, well worth a look as are the Charlie Resnick stories by John Harvey. What is it about all these dysfunctional cops that makes them so compelling?
Usually I read the current book of a series first. If I like it, I wil read all of the previous books in no apparent order.
Based on recommendations or reviews or the back of the book while browsing, I'll try the first one and, if it grabs me, off I go. Occasionally, even if the first isn't great, I'll try more if people say the series gets better. The types are all over the map - traditional, noir, thrillers, humorous ones, etc.
Right now Stephanie Plum, Joe Pickett, and Jack Reacher are among my favorites, and I'm always up for an Agatha Christie.
Elizabeth George's works -- beautifully written, long, intellectually compelling
Karin Slaughter's works -- character driven crack that you can't put down
Stuart MacBride's works -- Scottish, Logan McRae is fallible and funny, terrific books
Mo Hayder's Jack Caffery -- British, really dark and twisted, not for the faint-hearted
Martha Grimes' works -- American writing British mysteries, first about 12 are funny as well as beautifully written but then the characters fail to develop
Julia Spencer-Fleming's work -- cop and Episcopal priest working together, sounds kooky but terrific character development
I get ideas of which series I need to try out from all over the place -- mostly online, and mostly from reviews, or mentions on message boards (like here), or web sites dedicated solely to mysteries. I start reading the first book of a series, and if I'm interested, I keep reading. If I'm not interested for whatever reason, that series and author go on my "Not for me" list. There's a huge amount of good mystery series and authors out there. I can happily afford to be extremely choosey. This method works quite well for me. I have several beloved series that I'm working my way through and I go back and forth between them as the urge leads.
Good series, opposed to stand alones, are heavenly. Once the series has your stamp of approval, it's like a promise, a guarantee of a good read to come.
The series I'm reading now:
Lee Child's Jack Reacher
Marcia Muller's Sharon McCone
Margaret Frazer's Dame Frevisse
Andrew Vachss's Burke
Louise Penny's Chief Inspector Gamache
If I find a series I'm considering, I'll pick a later book in the series to start. If I like it, I'll start the series from the beginning. I usually go by genre, as a private eye fan, I'm always looking for the next Crais or Lehane style author to develop. I'll occasionally stray into unfamiliar territory and try a cosy. As a fan of good writing, I recognize that while not my usual cup of PI tea, Carolyn Hart will deliver a good story. Discovering Doherty's historicals years ago turned me into a rabid fan.
I read one in the series. If it's good, I continue to read of that series, if I don't like, then I don't continue.
I like to read a big variety of authors, not only getting stuck on a couple. But if I do get stuck on one, I must really have liked their work!
I read one in the series. If I like that, I read another. If I like that, I keep reading the series until I get to the point where I know what's going to happen before I turn the page. When I get to that point, it's time to find a new series.
I work in the book industry, so between LibraryThing and work get a lot of exposure to different authors and series. Mostly I look out for a preponderance of good mentions and positive review attention, then decide if the premise sounds like something I'd find intriguing or enjoy. I'd never heard of Louise Penny before coming here, but saw so many people mention her series favorably that I gave it a try--and loved it. I'm also more likely to try a newer series with fewer volumes, so I feel like there's less to get through in order to get caught up.
If you're completely at a loss, LibraryThing is a great resource. Name the kind of book you're looking for, and you'll likely receive many suggestions.
If you're still looking, try Ian Rankin's Rebus novels. Set in Edinburgh, with a love of the place, some dry humour, and lots of music allusions which will mean something to you if you lived through the 70s. For more music loving sleuths, try Kate Atkinson's Jackson Brodie books (also set in Edinburgh) - first one is Case Histories - & Linda Barnes' Carlotta Carlyle books, set in Boston/Cambridge. Peter Robinson's Alan Banks is into opera & jazz (I think), & lives in a fictitious town in Yorkshire.
There are some great Scandinavian crime writers around: Henning Mankell, Camilla Lackberg, Jo Nesbo to name but 3.
Good hunting!
I find a lot of series here (just saw a few more I'll be exploring from this thread) and always start from book one and read in order. The series I enjoy the most the characters develop and change over time and I enjoy following that progression in order.
Another vote for Rankin and Nesbo. Both write about very interesting men that tend toward self destruction but are good detectives. I think it is important to read them both in order.
Another source for Mysteries is the web site, www.stopyourekillingme.com .
Try www.fictfact.com. You can get ideas, find additional series by a favorite author, and see each series in chronological order. They will also let you know when one of your series has a new book coming out. Check out the Gabriel Allon series by Daniel Silva or the Thomas Pitt series by Anne Perry or the Leaphorn and Chee series by Tony Hillerman.
The names I didn't know I wrote down to try. The rest are all good.
When I find a series or author I like, I make a note on the list I keep in my book bag. Some series I have read in order, some not. Even if I read a series in order, I seldom read them one right after the other, taking time away so I don't get bored with a character. I also like to experiment with different authors for different moods.
It's a fabulous journey.
My favourite series is the Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters, followed by the Brunetti series by Donna Leon.
Generally when I come across a book which I enjoy and will search out others by the same author. If I find that the book is one of a series I will endeavour to get the rest and read them.
Currently I am re-reading Sue Grafton's Kinsey Millhone series in alphabetical order and have just discovered that Marcia Muller's books are now available as e-books so I am re-reading them. Just to temper the mix I am reading Edmund Crispin's Gervase Fen books
I also own, and re-read, the Discworld books; the same with Amelia Peabody - I read and re-read those books.
I definitely second Elizabeth Peters "Amelia Peabody series". I am currently waiting on the next book in Anne Perry's "William Monk" series. There are many series that are too easy to put down and don't really hold my interest but if the characters have continuing problems and are developed well as each book is read then I find I can't wait for the next one to see what else happens in their lives. It's always a good idea to look at other's book lists that have similar taste with you.
A lot of my series are based on recommendations of others or if I see something that catches my eyes when I see someone else reading it here or on Goodreads. And then I still pick up books in the store or at sales because something about it interests me.
Mostly recommendation or a really good blurb.
Recently, I've been getting most of my ideas for new authors or series from the threads in this very group. :)
Same here.
Honestly I've probably "chose" by just never being opposed to trying out a new author. I picked up a Lisa Gardner book randomly on the shelf at Walmart several years ago because the pricetag was low. Turns out I absolutely love her books, and her Quincy/Rainie series is fabulous. I started the Lincoln Rhyme series because I enjoyed the movie (The Bone Collector), and fell in love with Lincoln (& Amelia) in written form. The Logan McRae series (Stuart MacBride) and Billy Bob Holland series (James Lee Burke) were ones randomly picked up at a book market that were cheap and sounded potentially interesting. So essentially, I see a cheap book that I like the sound of and I try it out. Usually, I like it.
Oh also, I am more inclined to pick up authors that I've heard good things about for ages, if I'm, say, in a library looking for nothing in particular, like Ian Rankin, Lee Child, etc. But I haven't really even done that yet because there's other things I want to read, and I like to own books (just because I love books and want them all hahaha) so I generally do as I said above, find one randomly for cheap that happens to be a series and enjoy it.
My current favorite series' from Sweden:
1. Maj Sjowall & Per Wahloo -- The Martin Beck series
2. Leif GW Persson -- The Evert Bäckström series
3. Henning Mankell -- The Kurt Wallander series
4. Anders Roslund & Borge Hellstrom -- The Ewert Grens series
5. Stieg Larsson -- The Millennium triology
6. Ann Rosman -- The Karin Adler series
7. Camilla Lackberg -- The Fjällbacka series
8. Jens Lapidus -- The Stockholm noir series
Speak of the devil.... Maj Sjowall was on a tv-show about literature tonight (Sweden), and spoke old memories of writing the Martin Beck series with former partner Per Wahloo. She said that many new writers just don't know how to write and shouldn't write. She was funny. She also said that society has of course changed since the 1960s-1970s when they wrote the books, but the characters are timeless.
Also, the Martin Beck series really paved the way for today's crime novel, with an ordinary human being, but who is a little thick, smokes, is divorced...., in the main role.
They had writers such as Michael Connelly, Dennis Lehane and Jonathan Franzen on Skype to speak of how they have been influenced by Sjöwall/Wahlöö and the Martin Beck series.
I find mine mostly via www.fantasticfiction.co.uk
I take an author that I like, like Vince Flynn, and look over similar authors (i.e Brad Thor) and authors that are recommended by the authors I read.
If you look at Vince Flynn's page, he recommends a number of authors. I browsed many of them, and being a huge fan of political thrillers, I just recently got The Inside Ring by Mike Lawson. If the book is any good, I'll read the others. If it's not, I dump the author (i.e. Ted Bell's book Hawke stunk, so I never bothered to read his others.)
Also, when I look at books they recommend, I go to that author's page, as sometimes the book they recommend is say, the 6th of a series. So I go to the Author's page, and go for the first book. Political Thrillers really do have to be read in order. Just seems too weird if the President is assassinated in the 7th book of a series, and then you go to read the 5th book and suddenly he's alive again.
Friends' recommendations, recommendations from this forum. There is a "New Books" section in my library and I usually browse that when I go to pick up books. That works about 50% of the time as I only skim the synopsis.
There are classic mystery works that I still find even though I have read a lot. Some authors like Christie and Georges Simenon wrote a lot and finding lists, much less the books, is difficult.
Thanks to all for the various websites.
I also use the Fantastic Fiction site as a source. I have been reading Medieval mysteries for the past several years. Of course it all started w/Brother Cadfael-I own all of them & have read them as well as having seen all of the BBC adaptations over & over!
So I became intrigued w/the era & started to look for more authors. I found many & have read all of the books I can get my hands on. Some of the series I have read a lot include Peter Tremayne's Sister Fidelma series, Margaret Frazer's Sister Frevisse & Joliffe, the player series' & right now I am reading the Gil Cunningham series by Pat McIntosh.
All of the series I am reading & have read are set in England, Wales, & Scotland tho I would like to find one set in Ireland. My recent genealogy research has shown that many of my ancestors came from one or more of these places.
I really love the pace of life of that era as well as the total absence of all electronic media. I love my computer but as a History buff wish to experience another time vicariously-the only way I can! 8^)
#37 I believe Cora Harrison writes mysteries set in medieval Ireland (late medieval period). I have the first book in her lady judge series, but haven't read it yet.
I read one out of order if it got good reviews. If I like it and if it reads well even out of order, I read the rest in the series.
>39 techeditor: I'm very similar. If I find an author several books into a series, I'll pick up a book a few entries into the series. Sometimes the first book or 2 the author is still feeling their way and the efforts aren't as good. If I like the characters/series when it's a little more established, I'm more tolerant of weaker initial books because I know it's going to get better. Then I can read forward in the series from where I started and catch up on earlier books when I can.
I think sometimes, especially with mysteries and thrillers, people overstate the need to start from the beginning.
I have not been able to find any of Cora Harrison's books in our library-will have to talk to a librarian about them. 8^)
#41 I just finished My Lady Judge and really enjoyed it. It was quite interesting! I had pretty much no knowledge of life in Ireland prior to British colonization, so found much of the content illuminating.
Just finished Scott Pratt Joe Dillard series- good reads

TCM Diagnostic Method - Inspection
Diagnostic Methods Used in the TCM ExaminationThere are four examination methods: Questioning/history taking, inspection, auscultation (listening) & olfaction (smelling), and palpation. The four methods have their unique clinical functions and cannot be replaced by one another. Sometimes, false manifestations of a disease occur which emphasize the importance of integrating all diagnostic methods.
II. InspectionExamination through inspection entails the physician using visual senses to investigate a patient's condition. This includes observation of the entire body (spirit, color, form, bearing), as well as content derived from areas of the body, the tongue etc. This is a method for TCM physicians to understand and predict the pathological changes of internal organs through observing abnormal changes in the patient's vitality, appearance, secretions and excretions. The Chinese physicians realized the close relationship between the external part of the body, especially the face and tongue, and the organs. Any slight changes that appear reveal the pathological conditions of various parts of the body. Chinese medicine usually focuses on the following:
SpiritSpirit is the outward manifestation of vital activities. By inspecting it, one gains insight into the development of the disease, and can measure the strength or weakness of the disease, and judge the prognosis. If the person behaves normally, is alert and co-operative, the disease is usually mild. But if responses are sluggish or confused, the disease could be serious.
ColourSkin colour varies according to your race. The lustre (or moisture) of the skin reflects the prosperity or decline of the qi (vital energy) and essence. In TCM, skin colours are divided into five colours corresponding to the organs - blue is for the liver, red for the heart, yellow for the spleen, white for the lungs, and black for the kidneys. Changes in skin colour reflect the nature of a disease and various syndromes of different organs. Discolorations are usually seen: purple or green-blue, yellow, red, pale and dark gray.Common discolorations in TCM examination
Discoloration: Associated syndrome(s)Purple, Green-blue: Cold syndrome, painful syndrome, blood stasis or liver diseaseRed: Heat syndromeYellow: Dampness syndrome, syndromes of deficiency (xu) typePale: Cold syndrome of deficiceny (xu) type, blood lossDark gray: Kidney deficiency, cold syndrome, painful syndrome, blood stasis or static fluid syndromes.
FormThe body shape can be described as strong, weak, heavy or skinny. TCM believes overweight people tend to be excessive in phlegm and dampness. A thin person with dry skin indicates insufficiency of blood. Great loss of weight in the course of a long illness indicates exhaustion of essence.
BearingThe patient's movement and posture are outward manifestations of pathological changes. There is a variation of movement and posture in different diseases. For example, the appearance of numbness and impaired movement of the limbs on one side of the body indicates stroke, pain and soreness. Heaviness and numbness in the tendons, bones and muscles accompanied by swelling and restricted movement at the joints appear in rheumatism.
TCM Tongue examinationObservation of the tongue, also known as tongue diagnosis, is an important procedure in TCM examination. It includes observing the tongue and any coating it may have. The tongue body refers to the muscular tissue of the tongue. The tongue coating (fur) refers to a layer of "moss" over the tongue surface, which is produced by the stomach qi. In ancient times, it was established that different parts of the tongue correspond to different internal organs. The tip of the tongue reflects the heart and lungs; the middle part, the spleen and stomach; its root, the kidneys; and both sides of the tongue, liver and gall-bladder.The tongue body and fur together create the tongue sign. Tongue signs are an important factor in diagnosis, as changes in the signs, reflect changes in the condition of the disease. A normal tongue sign is proper size, soft in quality, free in motion, pale red in color and with a thin layer of white coating which is neither dry nor overly moist.
Different diseased tongue signs:
Pale tongue with white and thin coatingPale red tongue with white glossy coatingRed tongue with fissures; and the coating is white, thin and a little rough. Red tongue with yellow, thick and greasy coating. Deep red tongue without any coating. Purple tongue with white, thin and slimy coating.

What does it change to? Have you checked to see if it's the monitor or the Windows settings? Have you checked for viruses or malware? Do the changes synchronize with a program that may be running? Do you have any scheduled tasks set up which may change your settings? Do you have any nearby electrical devices which may be interfering with your monitor?
