Driggs cord
Driggs cord is rated out of 5 by 9.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jeff from Driggs Cords Great pants, fit right, and fashionably current today.
Date published: 2016-01-02
Rated 5 out of 5 by charlesrich from Nice pants Good fit, nice style, good price. A good pair of cords, comparable to more expensive offerings elsewhere.
Date published: 2015-12-25
Rated 2 out of 5 by wamook from Too short! Purchased these for my son who wears a 32x32. Yet I noticed right out of the box that they seemed short. I bought 2 pair and measured them both at the inseam...and both of them measured exactly at 31" even though the tag clearly stated 32". I'm a huge JCrew lover and half my closet proves that. Yet I was disappointed in this purchase. I get that this is a factory branded product but that shouldn't matter - a JCrew tag is slapped on it so I expect that level of quality. I gave it 2 stars because overall they appeared like a decent pant.
Date published: 2015-09-20
Rated 4 out of 5 by rogun from Great Slim Cords These are good quality and have a nice slim fit. I also found them plenty long enough for my long legs. My only reason for not giving them 5 stars is because I needed a 33x34, which isn't offered by J.Crew Factory for some reason. So I went with a 32x34, which fits, but is a little tighter then desired. Weird that J.Crew Factory offers sizes in 32x34 and 34x34, but not 33x34. I'd buy more pants if they did.
Date published: 2016-01-09
Rated 5 out of 5 by Okie from Wish I bought more than two pairs! Will this line of Driggs becoming back next fall? They are a must have!

TED Time
Looking over the past blog posts I noticed that it has been awhile since a TED talk was posted. If you don't know what TED talks are or haven't spent much time on their site, I highly recommend checking it out when you have some free time.

Is Jon Huntsman the most reasonable GOP candidate?
Jon Huntsman, former Utah Governor and a current contender for the Republican nomination, recently posted a tweet on his official account responding to Rick Perry's asinine comments regarding evolution and climate change at a campaign stop in New Hampshire. Here is the full text straight from his Twitter page:
Freethought and Polyamory on Campus
I find the word polyamory0 — and the myriad relationship structures it can refer to — to be gratifyingly familiar to the freethought1 community: Friday night at the CFI Leadership Conference conversations pivoted excitedly about that evening's same-sex marriage victory. As several took turns toward other widely demonized relationship models I suppose it was inevitable that open marriages and group marriages (very different things) would come to the fore. People were curious and skeptical but supportive nonetheless. I felt validated — inasmuch as a white, middle-class, straight cis male might be able to recognize it. (At Uni I've sensed less offense from my religious friends at my criticism of religion than from my conventional friends at my unconventional relationships.)
What are you doing for International Blasphemy Rights Day?
International Blasphemy Rights Day is an awareness day that is celebrated by showing support for free speech issues and learning more about blasphemy laws and censorship around the world. The United States' first amendment disallows any laws that make blasphemy illegal, but there are still free speech issues that we should be fighting here in the United States, and there are certainly people around the world that are not able to speak freely, including questioning religion and religious practices.

7. EdwinMature
There had been arguments. For the past few weeks, the Alliance had been trudging steadily northwards towards the pole, braving the biting wind and the snow that clutched at tired ankles. But the question was - for what purpose? The ice caps were too harsh to be inhabited by people, so they were left as sparse wastelands for the stronger animals to enjoy. Edwin had presumed they were just travelling for the sake of keeping movement - it was dangerous for them to stay in any one place for a long period of time. But people naturally got pissed off with ambling without an aim, and when a day came where no food was hunted, the ill-feeling exploded into conflict.
In total, only 5 men shifted, including Todd. But that was enough to do significant damage to other people and the surroundings. Three men had started the fight, refusing to move onwards until they got some answers about where they were going. Jonathan had tried to suppress them with words but he hadn't been listened to. Todd shouted them down but it just triggered people to take sides. Edwin was one of the few people that watched rather than getting involved. The fact was he wasn't really sure how he felt about the Alliance and its aims. He wanted them to achievesomething, but equally, the sanctuary the Alliance provided was too valuable to risk with reckless ambition.
Nayah took sides with the rebels, merely to have an excuse to shift and fight. The battle was brief, as Todd made no hesitation in shifting himself. In his dragon form, he dwarfed those around him. His skin was a vibrant deep purple that glinted in the sunlight. Several people got charred with one breath, and the combat soon ceased in a puddle of deep snow melt.
But the conflict had ignited the issue into everyone's minds. Where were they going? What were they doing? What was their purpose?
Since the argument, the group had been walking quietly, seemingly quite subdued. But it was simply the aftermath of losing a fight that caused this, not agreement. Edwin knew more problems would happen soon.
There must be a reason for Todd's distance thought Edwin. Todd wouldn't be vague about their purpose if he wanted them to know it. He saw the fractures his silence was causing in the Alliance - which was a significant weakness as unity was the only thing that held them together against the high ones - but he left questions totally unanswered.
All would be revealed at some point - people just needed patience. But in such an acrid and unrelenting environment patience soon wore thin.
Edwin walked up alongside Aadam, who had instantly stepped next to Todd when the conflict began, which was a surprising move. It was a long-shot, but perhaps Aadam knew something of Todd's plans.
"A calm day," said Edwin, feeling stupid with his attempt at small talk.
Aadam raised an eyebrow, "Yes I suppose. Best we can hope for in a place like this."
"It seems illogical to be traipsing knee-deep in ice and snow when we could be grazing on warm fields down south," offered Edwin.
"What, grazing amiably with our oh-so-gracious high ones, sharing plates of grapes and eating soft cheese?"
Edwin managed a small laugh, "Surely there are places other than here that are seldom inhabited?"
"Of course," Aadam paused, "How does the bottom of the ocean sound? Or perhaps one of the three moons will take your fancy. I hear Giano has some beautiful mountain views."
Edwin couldn't deal with Aadam's word games, which were out of character for a man of his wit, "This ice does not stretch on forever, though I must admit it feels like it does. What happens when we reach its end?"
Aadam shrugged, "Maybe we will not reach its end."
"What do you mean?"
Aadam's voice dropped low, "I know of your intentions with this conversation Edwin, and I am sorry that I do not have the answers that you seek, no more than any other man or woman here apart from Todd himself. But I do think that Todd is a logical man, who is making logical decisions based on information we do not know. He has never made journeys in the past without purpose, and he never withholds information without good cause."
"Aadam, you seem different."
"People are not always as they seem," answered Aadam.
"I fear that everyone in this Alliance built on truth is keeping lies," Edwin muttered.
"Every man has secrets," said Aadam, "Even yourself. It is not secrets that are bad - it's the reasons behind them. Do not condemn a man for hiding something. Condemn a man for hiding something for the wrong reasons."
"So you're saying not knowing could be to my benefit?"
Aadam nodded, "Wouldn't you agree that you wished you did not know many things about this world of ours?"
"I suppose, but that wouldn't change the facts that life is a b*tch."
"No, but it would make that b*tch easier to bear."

Nicholas Williams from Vancouver's Quinsam coal mine won a place in the Leading in Mining program with a 700-word essay describing what Leading in Mining means to him, and how he would benefit from the course. The contest was sponsored by CIM's Western District. Watch his presentation at the CIM 2015 Convention in Montreal and read his essay below.
My name is Nick Williams and I am a Mining Engineer at Quinsam Coal Mine, a small underground coal mine
near Campbell River, British Columbia. I graduated from the University of British Columbia's Mining Engineering program
in 2007, and since then have developed a true passion for underground coal mining. As a result of Quinsam being a small
operation – employing less than 100 people – I have had to build leadership skills quickly in order to make critical
decisions, gain the respect of our workforce, and ensure that our operation is functioning safely and efficiently. I am
currently working toward a Class 1 Competency Certificate for Underground Coal Mining (Mine Manager's Certification),
which will require excellent leadership skills alongside the technical knowledge I am acquiring.
I have learned over the past few years that the ability to develop and effectively leverage leadership skills in the
mining industry is an essential part to what we all do on a day-to-day basis. Being an effective leader in mining can
mean the difference between profit and loss, health and illness, satisfaction and discontent, and even life and death. It
is a critical component to every operation, affecting all of us - regardless of our position or department - and affecting
the people in our lives whom we love and make it our goal to go home to every day.
At an underground coal mine, we often come into areas where conditions are either unknown or assumed until
these areas have been mined out. We rely on the experience and knowledge of our miners as much as we rely on the
theories behind what is in some cases (like pillar extraction) more of an art than an exact science. It is crucial that an
effective level of leadership is maintained and that the lines of communication are kept open so that we can collectively
make the right decision and keep everyone safe. Everyone involved in a depillar section where critical safety decisions
have to be made must be able to express their concerns and ideas without fear of being dismissed or reprimanded.
I've learned that being a strong leader in mining means two things: leading by example and leading by learning.
Leading by example is having the respect to keep workers out of situations that you wouldn't want to find yourself in. It
means adhering to industry recognized best practices and the rules set forth by the relevant governing bodies in your
area and the company you are working for. Leading by learning I think is somewhat less common practice. It means
listening to all parties who may be affected by a decision and addressing their ideas and concerns. It also means
spending the time and making an effort to learn all that you can about every aspect of your field and operation to
become a knowledge leader.
I think that I would be a strong candidate to attend the Canadian Institute of Mining's Leading in Mining
program because of my dedication to our workforce and my commitment to ensuring that everyone at the mine should
go home safely at the end of every shift. There are certain limitations associated with working at a relatively small
operation which can at times hinder my ability to gain insight and knowledge from Mining Engineers at a similar point in
their career. I often find myself in a leadership role just due to the fact that there is no one else with the time or
knowledge to help guide them.
I am excited about earning an Underground Coal Mine Manager's ticket and would love to one day be given the
opportunity to lead our men and women to a new level of safety and productivity. CIM's Leadership Development
Program will help me acquire the skills I need to excel as a future Mine Manager. However, unfortunately I will not be
able to secure funding for such an experience without help from CIM. I would absolutely relish an opportunity to gain
skills and ideas that I can bring back to Quinsam. An opportunity like this is not something that I would take for granted,
and something that I know will be invaluable to my future as a leader in mining.

Russia's not-so-surprising February surprise
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
It's early to say how credible the reported assassination plot against Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is, but it is pretty clear that the Kremlin is taking full advantage of the timing of the announcement, just a week before the presidential election.
First, there's the fact that Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, said the arrest of two men after an apartment explosion is January was "was absolutely a plot to kill the prime minister," even before the Ukrainian government had confirmed it. Then there's the confusion about when this arrest actually took place:
Channel One said the suspects were arrested on Jan. 4, but a statement released by the Ukrainian security services this month, which made no mention of an assassination plot against Mr. Putin, said the arrests were made on Feb. 4.
And as Miriam Elder notes, Russians have heard this tune before. Another attempt to kill Putin was "foiled" by authorities in Moscow the day Dmitry Medvedev was elected president in 2008. Many in the Russian opposition also believe that Putin may have been involved in a series of Moscow appartment bombings, blamed on Chechen militants, prior to his first election as president in 2000.
It's certainly not outside the realm of possibility that Chechen militant leader Doku Umarov might have plotted to kill Putin, as the suspects say in their videotaped confession, but the timing of this information being made public does seem awfully convenient at a time when the opposition is showing more life than ever before.

This custom timber framed 60' apartment barn features 16' eaves to accommodate custom 12' x 14' swinging garage doors on the gable ends and 12' x 10' overhead doors in the sidewall.A custom log spiral staircase with rod iron hand rail leads up to a finished loft with a 12' x 12' covered deck and wet bar. A custom stain job and classic gooseneck barn lighting brings the whole barn together.
We started the design process with the client back in September of 2010. The result was a stunning timber framed barn and a great place to spend time with friends and family. We framed the structure with canyon gold lumber and finished the exterior with cedar batten and board siding and a 4" thick Columbia basalt wainscoting (around 3 sides) with a stone sitting area under one of the shed roofs.
After a 24 hour drive (straight), to say we were welcomed with open arms is a huge understatement! This 36' apartment barn developed into one of our all-time favorite structures upon completion in 2011. This barn with upstairs living quarters has four horse stalls with Classic Equine stall fronts and dutch doors with a 12' x 24' tack room, including a 1/2 bath and solar powered radiant heat in the slab. The luxurious two-bedroom living quarters speak for themselves. Check out the video above to get the full tour from owner Ed Healy.
This custom barn with living quarters in Newnan, Georgia has a full loft living quarters with two 60' shed dormers; one with two Nantucket walk-out shed dormers, and another with three walk out shed dormers. The main level consists of two stalls, a tack room, a wash bay, a garage, a custom stainless steel processing room with a commercial kitchen to support the clients' hunting hobby, and two full length shed roofs, one being fully enclosed for additional living space.
The second level of this gorgeous barn houses a cozy 1,080 sq. ft. living quarters with a guest room, one full bathroom, an office, living room, kitchen, and balcony. Nantucket dormers, each with their own timber truss, bring character to the building and additional head space to the living area, and six skylights provide natural light. A solar panel sits over the second floor deck, and an electrical vehicle charging station adds to the list of green features.
Interested in talking about your dream apartment barn?
This six stall custom wood barn was built in 2007. It features cedar board and batten siding, four dormers, a wash bay, a tack room, and a shed roof. The loft is used for hay storage and as a place to just hang out and be close to the animals (with a wet bar!). The barn was white washed, stained, and trimmed to match the owner's house. A perfect example of a multi-use structure, this barn is also used for weddings and parties.
The main level of this facility has five horse stalls, ATV storage, a large office, batting cages, and a custom pigeon coop. The upstairs of this barn is set up for living quarters or the ultimate man cave. With the all-wood exterior, three dormers, a 36' x 60' footprint, and shed roofs on both sides, this elegant barn is both extremely functional and wildly beautiful.
As Washington's premier barn builder, we were privileged to be part of the construction of this top of the line equestrian facility. The elegant timber frame design carries the "wow" factor through every aspect of the barn. This barn features four stalls, a tack room, a wash bay, and a center aisle hayloft. It houses two special horses, a few goats, and farm equipment.
This cedar-finished barn can be found on the grassy plains of Wild Horse Ranch near Laramie, Wyoming. We had to completely weatherproof this building to accommodate the extreme temperatures and strong winds. This barn features a luxurious 1,700 sq. ft. apartment with granite countertops, a Corian shower, tile floors, and wrapped timbers. Downstairs you will find 3 horse stalls with automatic waterers, a wash and tack room, and a laundry room with bathroom attached.

Eight police officers have been injured overnight after being attacked at a bonfire organised by dissident republicans in west Belfast.
The police were bombarded with missiles at the bonfire in the Divis area close to Belfast city where a dissident republican rally will be marching on Friday night.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said eight people had been arrested during the disturbances as crowds threw paintbombs, bottles and masonry at the officers. Two of the police casualties had to be treated in hospital.
An Irish News reporter was attacked when she tried to report on the bonfire and investigate claims that a painting had been stolen from a nearby loyalist district and thrown on to it.
The Sinn Féin MP for West Belfast, Paul Maskey, condemned the attack, which he described as "disgusting and disgraceful".
There was also disorder in the republican New Lodge district of north Belfast at another bonfire, with the PSNI firing two baton rounds.
Both bonfires were lit to commemorate the introduction of internment without trial in 1971. Sinn Féin has long eschewed bonfires as a means of commemorating this seminal event in the history of the Troubles, but groups aligned to armed republican dissident organisations have brought back the tradition.
Tensions are high in the city as the PSNI prepares for an anti-internment rally organised by the Republican Network for Unity (RNU). Part of the rally will pass through Belfast's main shopping street, Royal Avenue, in the early evening. Unionist politicians have called for the march to be banned, while hardline loyalists have organised a counter-demonstration against it in the North Street area, a route from the city centre into the Protestant Shankill Road area.
The RNU and its allies in the 32 Sovereignty Movement (the political wing of the New IRA) claim they will be bringing 5,000 supporters on to the streets in what is being seen not only as a challenge to loyalists but also an act of defiance against Sinn Féin.
Up to 1,000 loyalists are expected on the streets to oppose the march, which begins in the republican Ardoyne district and parades from north to west Belfast via the city centre.
The tension over marches is not confined to Belfast, with a planned Sinn Féin-organised rally in Castlederg, County Tyrone, this weekend also causing controversy. The commemoration for two IRA members who blew themselves up while driving a bomb into the town in 1973 is causing outrage among its Protestant-unionist community.
Unionists plan a counter-demonstration in Castlederg on Sunday against what they have described as a "parade of shame".

REHAU, THE leading German manufacturer of polymer products, opened recently its new office in the Philippines at the Taipan Center on F. Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City. The inauguration was presided by Christopher de los Reyes, REHAU head of the Philippine office and a veteran of the construction industry. De los Reyes; Vijay Jain, REHAU CEO for Asia and Australia; and Elliot Burke, REHAU Sales Director for Southeast Asia, comprise key officers of the local headquarters.
The entry of REHAU in the country is proof of its bullish outlook on the economy and in the growing demand for its products.
"REHAU is optimistic about the economic prospects of the country in the long term. The boom in the construction and real estate industry is promising given our business," said Christopher Delos Reyes, Rehau Head, Representative Office. "We are confident that our quality products will be accepted by the local market because we adhere to safety standards around the world and global standards that meet reliability and value for money."
REHAU's presence in the country is expected to compliment the growth in the construction and manufacturing industries. The company's operation in the Philippines is estimated around €1.5M. The target growth is to achieve at least €5M in the next 3years. The company also provides optimal supply chain solutions, such as just-in-time deliveries to ensure its products reach the customers when needed.
REHAU products are overseen by engineers and technicians from their development to their final use following the strictest global processes. With the company's unsurpassed expertise in processing polymer materials, a wide range of product characteristics is achieved. The company's technical capabilities include numerous up-to-date processing procedures using only the latest equipment. Toolmakers and engineers work together in its in-house tool and die shops to achieve the best possible results. The company received ISO/IEC 27001 in 2005, ISO 9001 in 2008, and ISO/TS 16949 in 2009.
REHAU was founded back in 1948 in Germany. In 1951, the company began producing arm straps and sideboards of the Volkswagen Beetle. Since then, it has pioneered many industry firsts such as the manufacture of the first magnetic gasket system for refrigerator doors in 1958, introducing Plastics Technician as a profession in 1976, installation by REHAU of the first PEX pipeline for under floor heating systems in 1986, patenting the first windshield molding design that eliminates micro-cracking at the windshield's edge in 2005, development of ULTRALITEC: a new type of production process that combines fibers with thermo-plastic by a special compression molding and laying technique in 2011, just to name a few. The company today counts Mercedes Benz C-series and Mini Cooper as just some of its customers, supplying the bumper systems of these automobile brands.
The company also leads in efforts to protect increasingly scarce raw materials, together with the development of innovative systems for more efficient energy use. REHAU not only develops and manufactures ecologically and economically sensible system solutions for its customers, but also acts as a responsible global citizen. It has made a valuable contribution to the protection of the climate and the environment not only by reducing CO2 emissions with intelligent products but also by developing effective recycling systems for polymetric materials.
"We are looking forward to serving the needs of construction, manufacturing industries and in the future, the automotive industry for many years to come. We are confident that we can," Delos Reyes added.

Blues Rockers King Bee Will Release EP in October, New Album in January

Finalists inNew Times
' 2009 Battle of the Bands, Miami groupKing Bee
plays heavy alt-rock that feeds off a bluesy underbelly. The scruffy trio are masters of the subtle build-up, hitting their stride with wail-out sessions that creep up faster than you can say crescendo.
I caught the last song of their show at Propaganda September 25. I was amped because I figured it portended similarly good, or maybe better, music to come. But I was sorely disappointed in second act Noble Rocket as well as in closing band and over-hyped act The Beauvilles, whose performance made me giggle uncontrollably. (Am I the only one who feels like the vocalist/guitarist's theatrics are forced?).

So Sad Today
Genre: Personal Essay
Published March 15th 2016 by Grand Central Publishing
Rating: 4
So Sad Today is a compilation of essays by Melissa Broder that narrates the interior monologue of a person with mental illness trying to survive and handle and deal with day to day life. Broder deals with a myriad of issues from sex and sexual identity, to masturbation, to anxiety attacks, to an addiction to the internet.
It was fascinating, enlightening, entertaining, and relatable. It was violently truthful and brutally honest.
There are two sides of me responding to this book in two different ways.
The feminist inside me wants every young person to read this book for three reasons:
Author Watch: M. R. Carey
M. R. Carey (who also writes as Mike Carey and Adam Blake) is the author of The Girl with All the Gifts, and his new novel, Fellside. I loved the first and am super excited for the second!
About M. R. Carrey (from goodreads)
Mike Carey was born in Liverpool in 1959. He worked as a teacher for fifteen years, before starting to write comics. When he started to receive regular commissions from DC Comics, he gave up the day job.
Since then, he has worked for both DC and Marvel Comics, writing storylines for some of the world's most iconic characters, including X-MEN, FANTASTIC FOUR, LUCIFER and HELLBLAZER. His original screenplay FROST FLOWERS is currently being filmed. Mike has also adapted Neil Gaiman's acclaimed NEVERWHERE into comics.
Somehow, Mike finds time amongst all of this to live with his wife and children in North London. You can read his blog at www.mikecarey.net.

Snakewood by Adrian Selby, narrated by Joe Jameson
Genre: Fantasy
Pub date: March 15th 2016 by Orbit
Rating: DNF
Snakewood's first little bit (the intro and the first scene) started out really good, but it kept switching over to other little scenes and narrators, and I couldn't figure out what was going on. The text was full of Jargon (terms you would understand only if you worked the field) and it was hard to follow. I gave up after about an hour of listening. Just to make sure I wasn't an idiot, I went on goodreads to see what others have said about the book and I discovered I wasn't the only one.
Sword of Destiny
Sword of Destiny: book # of The Witcher by Andrew Sapkowski, narrated by Peter Kenny.
Genre: Fantasy
Pub date: December 2015 (Originally published in 1992)
Rating: 4.5
Sword of Destiny is one of the books earlier in the Witcher series. For some reason, the audio books were released out of order. I was totally okay with it, even though the journey has taken me around in a circle.
Gerald is younger and less grumpy (though less grumpy is still very grumpy by anyone else's standards). We meet little Siri before she becomes Geralt's Destiny (whatever that means) and get a little more insight on who they are, and how he and Siri became what they are today. It's filled with mini-adventures that involve dragons, magic, mermaids, evil creatures, and our favorite sorceress, Yennifer.
There are a few sections where it feels like there's a track missing, even though there isn't. It jumps around and skips stuff and expects you to follow along and go with it, and I found it disorientating. Even with those few sections, and even though I listened to them out of order, it's still an excellent adventure that I'd recommend to anyone who has a love of fantasy, action, adventure, and romance!
Content/Recommendation: Some sexual content, plenty of blood and gore. Ages 18+
Warlords and Waistrels
Warlords and Waistrels by Julia Knight, narrated by Angèle Masters
Genre: historical urban fantasy, adventure, action
Pub date: December 15th 2015 by Orbit
Rating: 4
This series was a great start that kind of had a dead point in the middle, then got really good again with this third book, then the last little bit was kind of a let-down. The book itself, the plot, the twists and surprises, the murder, it was all great. But the ending and how it finished was very unsatisfactory. It felt like it came out of nowhere. It made some big changes to the characters lives. I feel like if you're going to make a big change, you need to hint at it, leave some little for-shadowing clues in the body of the work, etc. Don't just throw someting at me at the last page. That was the only part of the book I didn't like.
All in all it was a good conclusion and a nice finish to a fun and exciting story. Not a Joe Abercrombie or a James Patterson or a Gail Carriger, but still fun and lots of swordfights. And we all know swordfights are really the only reason I listen to audiobooks.
About the Book
The epic conclusion to the fast-paced new adventure fantasy series, the Duelists trilogy, from one of the most exciting new talents in fantasy.
Vocho and Kacha may be known for the first swordplay in the city of Reyes, but they've found themselves backed into a corner too often for their liking.
Finally reinstated into the Duelist's Guild for services rendered to the prelate, who has found himself back in charge, Vocho and Kacha are tasked with bringing a prisoner to justice. But this prisoner is none other than Kacha's old flame Egimont. The prelate wants him alive, and on their side. However the more they discover of Egimont and his dark dealings with the magician, the more Kacha's loyalties are divided. Soon she must choose a side -- the prelate or the king, her brother or her ex-lover.
The fate of Reyes is balanced on a knife-edge...

Legends and Liars by Julia Knight, narrated by Angèle Masters
Genre: Historical Urban fantasy, thriller, action/adventure
Pub date: November 10, 2015 by Orbit
Rating: 3
Legends and Liars was full of exciting moments with two of my new favorite characters. The writing was good and the wit was in rare form. The biggest problem I had with this book was there wasn't any real plot. A lot of things happened, but there was no real plot that can be summarized in one word, asside from a lot of riding horses and trying not to die. Though trying not to die is really important! But it's not really a plot.
I still enjoyed the book, and it did move the overall story along… I just wish there had been that one distinct overall thing to center everything. It feels like a bridge, not a stepping stone. I am already reading the third book in the series!
read my review for Book 1 here!
About the Book
Legends and Liars is the second book in the Duelist's trilogy -- a fast-paced adventure from one of the most exciting new talents in fantasy.
Vocho and Kacha are brother and sister, and between them they've got quite a reputation. They were once know for the finest swordplay in the city of Reyes. The only problem is, ever since they were thrown out of the Duelist's Guild for accidentally killing a man they were sworn to protect, it seems everyone wants them dead. Including a dark magician whose plans they recently thwarted...
Now Vocho and Kacha are in the midst of an uneasy truce, not sure whether to trust each other, or anyone else for that matter. What's more, the sinister magician is rumored to have returned. Now he knows who was behind the failure of his last plan, he's determined to put a stop to Vocho and Kacha permanently.
And this time, the flash of steel may not be enough to save them.

Un-review: Chasing the Dime
Chasing the Dime by Michael Connolley, narrated by Jonathan Davis
Genre: crime thriller
Pub date: 2002
rating: DNF
I woke up, and rubbed my eyes. I pushed myself up. my shoulders hurt. Probably from all the hard work I did yesterday, sitting in front of a computer and debating about a review I wrote. I rolled my neck. Slowly I pushed myself up, swung my legs over the side of my bed, and stood up. I was cold. I decided it was a good idea to grab a bath-robe or something.
Pointless jabber. That's what that feels like. Tons of stupid little details that I don't really need to know and really don't care about.
The whole book so far has read like the above paragraph. I don't want to know the details behind setting up your voicemail. I felt like this whole section so far could have been done in one or two chapters rather than te several that I've listened to so far. It was boring, slow, and redundant. I'll always give a book a chance, but I don't have time to waste on walking into the office, signing into the log, and noticing all the little details about old coffee cups and ugly posters on the wall, and the memories associated with them.
Which is really too bad, because there's a great story in there. But the execution was poor.
Best Served Cold
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie, narrated by Steven Pacey
Genre: Fantasy, adventure
Pub date: February 16th 2016 by Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Rating: 5
I loved this book. From the first chapter it threw you into a complicated and exciting story. I fell in love with characters only to have them slaughtered minutes later. And from there, the story began to unfold.
There was violence, sex, adventure, surprises, poison, and lots of bad choices. Characters we loved back in the first part of the First Law series came back up but showed a different side. We met several new characters in this book, and I can't wait to see them again. I definitely recommend this book to anyone willing to put in the hours—it's not as long as some of Abercrombie's books, but it's still 24 hours long (it took me about a week to get through).
One of the things I love about A is his writing style. There is so much clever repetition, he drops subtle hints, and little things come back to show their face that you didn't expect. Of course it was expertly and beautifully narrated by Steven Pacey.
Literally the only thing I didn't like about this book is the fact that when I looked it up and went to find the cover image, it has a blonde on the cover. GUYS IT CLEARLY SAYS MANY TIMES THAT MONZCARO MURCATTO HAS BLACK HAIR. This is not complicated.
About the Book
Springtime in Styria. And that means war. Springtime in Styria. And that means revenge.
There have been nineteen years of blood. The ruthless Grand Duke Orso is locked in a vicious struggle with the squabbling League of Eight, and between them they have bled the land white. While armies march, heads roll and cities burn, behind the scenes bankers, priests and older, darker powers play a deadly game to choose who will be king.
War may be hell but for Monza Murcatto, the Snake of Talins, the most feared and famous mercenary in Duke Orso's employ, it's a damn good way of making money too. Her victories have made her popular - a shade too popular for her employer's taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Murcatto's reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance. Whatever the cost, seven men must die.
Her allies include Styria's least reliable drunkard, Styria's most treacherous poisoner, a mass-murderer obsessed with numbers and a Northman who just wants to do the right thing. Her enemies number the better half of the nation. And that's all before the most dangerous man in the world is dispatched to hunt her down and finish the job Duke Orso started...
Springtime in Styria. And that means revenge.

Chimera by Mira Grant, narrated by Christine Lakin
Genre: Apocalyptic fantasy
Pub date: November 24th 2015 by Hachette Audio
Rating: 3
This was the final book in the Parasitology series that I started reading back when the first book came out. I really have the same thing to say about it as I did the other two books.
This whole book was filled with great plot twists and great characters. I didn't expect the curveballs that were thrown at me, and I enjoyed the discovery and the unfolding of the story.
My complaints were the same as the other books as well. The series was a good concept with poor execution. I was frustrated on a regular basis by the writing style, grammar, and sentince structure (or lack therof). It was repetitive, exhausting, and at times, quite petty. I normally don't comment on the writing style, except when it's a problem. And in this case, it did distract from the story, and Sal's constant interior monologue made me want to slap her. Don't get me wrong; I enjoyed the book, I just would have enoyed it more if it had been written well.
The ending was somewhat lacking, and I would have liked to see more finality and more resolution from some of the characters. The plot ending itself was everything it needed to be, it was just a few little things that were missing; conversations that were never had, conflicts that were never resolved, characters that never fixed (or ended) their relationship. It wasn't at all an "open ending," but it wasn't as closed as it could have been.
All in all I gave it the 3 star rating because it wasn't a bad book and it wasn't a waste of my time, it just wasn't a good book either.
*also I finished and wrote this review back in January and just realized I never put it up online. sorry!*
About the Book
The final book in Mira Grant's terrifying Parasitology trilogy.
The outbreak has spread, tearing apart the foundations of society, as implanted tapeworms have turned their human hosts into a seemingly mindless mob.
Sal and her family are trapped between bad and worse and must find a way to compromise between the two sides of their nature before the battle becomes large enough to destroy humanity and everything that humanity has built...including the chimera.
The broken doors are closing. Can Sal make it home?
Wake of Vultures
Wake of Vultures by Lila Bowen (book 1 of Shadow Series) narrated by Robin Miles
genre: supernatural urban fantasy with a hint of western? It was a weird mix.
Pub date: October 27th 2015 by Orbit
Rating: 3.5
Wake of Vultures was an exciting, fast paced, interesting read. It was fun and different for me. It wasn't phenomenal. I would probably read the next one in the series, but I wouldn't spend money on it.
The biggest problem I had with the story was I felt that it tried to deal with too many things at once. Racism, sexism, sexual identity, slavery, nudity, and religion are all important and heavy topics. All of them together in one YA urban fantasy novel? It's a bit excessive. Even though I of all people understand that sometimes when a story comes to you, as an author, you can't change your character! That's just who they are! And don't get me wrong, the story was great and I enjoyed listening to it, and I was totally caught up in it. But there were times when I would listen and something would come up and I'd be like "this is too much. this is ridiculous." It felt like overkill.
That aside, I enjoyed the book and look forward to the sequel.
About the Book
A rich, dark fantasy of destiny, death, and the supernatural world hiding beneath the surface.
Nettie Lonesome lives in a land of hard people and hard ground dusted with sand. She's a half-breed who dresses like a boy, raised by folks who don't call her a slave but use her like one. She knows of nothing else. That is, until the day a stranger attacks her. When nothing, not even a sickle to the eye can stop him, Nettie stabs him through the heart with a chunk of wood, and he turns into black sand.
And just like that, Nettie can see.
But her newfound sight is a blessing and a curse. Even if she doesn't understand what's under her own skin, she can sense what everyone else is hiding -- at least physically. The world is full of evil, and now she knows the source of all the sand in the desert. Haunted by the spirits, Nettie has no choice but to set out on a quest that might lead to her true kin... if the monsters along the way don't kill her first.

The Dead House
The Dead House by Dawn Kurtagich, narrated by Charlotte Perry and Christian Coulson
Genre: urban fantasy/psychological thriller, YA
Pub Date: September 15th 2015 by Little, Brown Young Readers
Rating: 5
This is one of the best, most intense, creepiest books I've ever read. I would read it again in a heartbeat. I would buy it for myself and for my friends. I would buy copies for a local library and make sure they always had one on the shelf.
This book is filled with mystery, magic, and incomprehensable events that never fully resolve themselves but still leave you feeling resolved at the end. It plays with concepts I don't see often in YA, and doesn't shy away from hard questions. There is some questionable content, so I wouldn't recommend it to all ages. But I am totally adding Dawn Kurtagich to my Author Watch list and hope you will too!
I don't want to say too much about the story itself because I don't want to spoil it. I requested the book, forgot about it, and then picked it at random having absolutely no idea what it was about. Suffice to say I was completely enthralled and enjoyed every moment of it. I can't stress this enough: GO GET A COPY OF THIS BOOK IMEDIATELY. Audio, print, e-book, whatever. You will not be sorry.
Content/recommendation: some language, some sex, some violence. Most of the violence is mental torture the main character endures. Some witch-craft. Ages 16+.
About the Book
Part-psychological thriller, part-urban legend, this is an unsettling narrative made up of diary entries, interview transcripts, film footage transcripts and medical notes. Twenty-five years ago, Elmbridge High burned down. Three people were killed and one pupil, Carly Johnson, disappeared. Now a diary has been found in the ruins of the school. The diary belongs to Kaitlyn Johnson, Carly's identical twin sister. But Carly didn't have a twin . . .
Re-opened police records, psychiatric reports, transcripts of video footage and fragments of diary reveal a web of deceit and intrigue, violence and murder, raising a whole lot more questions than it answers.
Who was Kaitlyn and why did she only appear at night? Did she really exist or was she a figment of a disturbed mind? What were the illicit rituals taking place at the school? And just what did happen at Elmbridge in the events leading up to 'the Johnson Incident'?
Chilling, creepy and utterly compelling, THE DEAD HOUSE is one of those very special books that finds all the dark places in your imagination, and haunts you long after you've finished reading.
About the Author
(from Goodreads)
Dawn Kurtagich is a writer of creepy, spooky and psychologically sinister YA fiction, where girls may descend into madness, boys may see monsters in men, and grown-ups may have something to hide. Her debut YA novel, The Dead House, is forthcoming from Hachette in 2015.
By the time she was eighteen, she had been to fifteen schools across two continents. The daughter of a British globe-trotter and single mother, she grew up all over the place, but her formative years were spent in Africa—on a mission, in the bush, in the city and in the desert.
She has been lucky enough to see an elephant stampede at close range, a giraffe tongue at very close range, and she once witnessed the stealing of her (and her friends') underwear by very large, angry baboons. (This will most definitely end up in a book . . . ) While she has quite a few tales to tell about the jumping African baboon spider, she tends to save these for Halloween!
She writes over at the YA Scream Queens, a young adult blog for all things horror and thriller, and she is a member of the YA League and Author Allsorts.
Her life reads like a YA novel.

Mysuru, Nov 4: Farmers under the aegis of the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh staged a demonstration in the city on Monday, Nov 4 to highlight the 'growing crisis in the agricultural sector and the exploitation of the farming community'.
The farmers lamented that rich people and multinational companies were buying up agricultural land facilitated by the Government"s liberal economic policies.
Underlining the growing crisis in the agricultural sector, sangha activists quoted statistics from the National Crime Bureau that over 1.5 lakh farmers had committed suicide in the country between 1997 and 2005.

David Cassidy Ordered to Rehab
Photo Credit: YouTube
Former teen idol, David Cassidy, was sentenced to a 90 day inpatient rehab program for alcohol abuse. The sentence is for his January DUI arrest, but it probably didn't help that it was his THIRD DUI ARREST SINCE 2010. Seriously? How does this guy still have a license? Cassidy was also sentenced to 60 months probation and a nine-month alcohol program.
Clearly he has a problem and for that he should get help. I'm glad to see that, even if it's been court-ordered, he will be getting that. But, I can't believe it took his third DUI arrest for anything to happen to him.
A rep for the performer said he had already been enrolled in a facility at the time of his sentencing and the judge will be giving him credit for time served. He will reportedly be transitioning into a monitored outpatient program early next month.

Location description from owner
The Andalucia region
With over 300 days a year sunshine, this unspoilt corner of South West Spain lives up to its name of the "Coast of Light". Refreshing sea breezes take the edge off the summer heat. Mild winters give way to warm springs, with a profusion of blossom from the January-flowering almond trees to the explosion of orange scent in April. T-shirt and shorts weather through to the autumn make this an ideal all-year-round holiday destination. The first choice of holiday location for many Spanish people, and one of Spain's best-kept secrets.
Some of Europe's best sandy beaches are to be found in the little resorts along this coast, both on the Spanish and Portuguese sides - the Algarve is just 5 minutes' drive across the magnificent new river bridge. The sights and sophistication of Seville are just over an hour by car. Charming, unspoilt towns abound on both sides of the border, with castles and fortresses to remind you of the region's colourful past.
Nature lovers will relish the Dunas de Donana National Park just over an hour away - home to lynx and Imperial eagles.
Food lovers will enjoy the rich variety of fresh seafood, and the much-prized ham from the famous acorn-fed black pigs
Few months go by without one of the colourful and exuberant festivals (fiestas) for which the region is famous.
Costa Esuri
The golf resort of Costa Esuri is situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty, right on the River Guadiana that forms the border between Spain and Portugal. Look out for the flamingos, storks and wild ponies as you cross the bridge into the resort. Miles of unspoilt countryside lie right behind the apartment, with rolling, pine- and cork-oak covered hills as far as the eye can see.
Just 5 minutes drive away is the traditional but bustling town of Ayamonte. Take a gentle stroll round the shops in the picturesque, winding (and pedestrianised!) streets. Relax over a drink or a meal at one of the many excellent restaurants and tapas bars in the pretty little squares, or by the marina. The perfect place to try the local specialities of Iberican ham, and seafood straight from the local fishing boats.
The nearest beach resort is Isla Canela, just a few minutes' drive from Ayamonte. Miles of golden sands, friendly beach bars and a range of watersports make for a perfect day out for the family. With sandy beaches within 15 minutes' drive on the Portuguese side as well, you will be spoilt for choice. There are 30 km of uninterrupted sandy beaches on the Spanish side of the border alone, most of them "blue flag".
The Cartaya waterpark is only 30 minutes drive away. Riverboat cruises up the Guadiana provide an opportunity to relax (and eat!) amidst stunning scenery. Go-karting, quad biking, fishing, cycle hire and horse-riding are all available too.
The area is a golfers' paradise, with no fewer than 15 courses (including the resort's own 2 championship-standard courses) within half an hour's drive, both in Spain and Portugal. The Costa Esuri West Course has a links feel to it because of the river, while the recently-opened East Course is a great challenge. Compare them with the new Seve Ballesteros course at Quinta do Vale, visible over the river from Costa Esuri, and with the sensational Jack Nicklaus course at Monte Rei, already rated as one of the top golf venues in Europe. But holiday golf in gorgeous surroundings is available at a host of other courses, at a fraction of the price of some of the well-known and overcrowded courses of the Central Algarve.
The area's rich and varied wildlife make it a haven for birdwatchers. Look out for the storks, egrets, black-legged stilts, avocets, purple herons, flamingos and purple gallinules on the golf courses and by the river, and for the bee eaters and golden orioles in the countryside behind the apartment.
There is a regular walking group that meets twice a week for comfortable-length guided walks in the beautiful unspoilt countryside on the Portuguese side of the river.

Birds: The Curator, True Human and The Schroedinger
Posted by Eternal Berg, BSTF on March 24, 2009
"So, this is where the PCM texts are stored?" Vermil quizzed Samuel, who had rejoined him and Saffy, seemingly having finished his work. Or, at the very least, had a similar need.
"Yes. They're in here. Everything you need to know from the surviving texts." Samuel pushed open the door, revealing a small interior with book-lined walls and a sole man sitting inside.
"Uh, excuse me..." Saffy walked inside slowly and spoke hesitantly. "Can you tell us where to find texts on Legendary Pokemon?"
The man simply made a gesture that suggested "Everywhere".
"What about the Amulet of Agrython?" Vermil asked nervously.
The man, seemingly the curator, stood up and walked over to Samuel. "Is this them?"
"No, there are more outside. There's these two, an artist and a thug, a floating girl and a delirious man. They may be of some use." Samuel smiled and held his hand out. "Now, the text. As promised."
"Yes, it's right here." The curator walked over to the eastern wall of the room and removed a single volume from the middle of the shelves. "Everything you need to know about the relics of the greater and lesser pokedeities."
"Wonderful." Samuel grasped the tome excitedly before the curator had even begun to hand it to him. "I thank you again for the privilege of being able to take it with me back to the Terrut Cliffs."
"It's no problem. With the gift you have given us and the promise of it's swift return, we feel quite comfortable with it." The curator turned his attention to Saffy and Vermil, giving them a sly smile. "Very nice gift indeed."
"Oh, it's you! You're... you are here... Uh... Now, the thing is..." A young voice suddenly interrupted the curator. Samuel began to leave the door, lighting a cigarette as he went. "Take this one too if you want," He said, pushing the young voice aside, "I don't know who he is but he's no one special."
"Saffy?" Vermil wiped his brow a little bit with his hand, noticing that he had unconsciously began sweating profusely.
"I think we're in just the teeniest tiny bit of trouble..."
Saffy turned her head from the curator, who was now advancing quickly upon them, to Max, just long enough to catch a glimpse of him trying - and failing - to beat back a similar problem.
