|[jira] Commented: (DIRSEDA-10) UDP Imeplementation
|Sun, 26 Sep 2004 05:49:32 GMT
The following comment has been added to this issue: Author: Trustin Lee Created: Sat, 25 Sep 2004 10:48 PM Body: I'm implementing UDPListenerManager and I encountered a few problems: 1. ClientKey.<init> pre-generates clientId as a string and it can cause performance degradation for UDP impl because ClientKey is instantiated everytime UDPListenerManager receives a datagram packet. The solution could be: - making clientId as an integer - providing ClientKeyCache with LRU maps (I prefer this) 2. ClientKey accepts only Socket in the constructor, and this cannot be applicable to DatagramChannels, so it should be changed to accept Channels (possibly SelectableChannel). But we also have to consider intra-VM pipe which does not have any NIO channels. So it is supposed for us to revamp ClientKey now. :) I'll think about this and add more comments to this issue. --------------------------------------------------------------------- View this comment: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSEDA-10?page=comments#action_53414 --------------------------------------------------------------------- View the issue: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSEDA-10 Here is an overview of the issue: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: DIRSEDA-10 Summary: UDP Imeplementation Type: Task Status: Open Priority: Major Project: Seda Framework Assignee: Alex Karasulu Reporter: Trustin Lee Created: Mon, 20 Sep 2004 9:53 PM Updated: Sat, 25 Sep 2004 10:48 PM Description: SEDA framework currently supports TCP/IP only. Supporting UDP is the primary concern to make it widely usable. But because of its essential difference with UDP, we have to approach carefully. Datagram channels does not have notion of connect/disconnect. DatagramChannel.validOps() does not include OP_ACCEPT, so UDPListenerManager and UDPInputManager should be incorporated, and it is slightly different from current routing process of SEDA. This difference must be handled smoothly to resolve this issue. Because there is no explicit connection/disconnection notification, the policy how we should maintin and expire ClientKeys. Simplistic implementation will have an timeout-based expiration mechanism. As an alternative, SEDA can give up managing the sessions of UDP events although I'm not sure it is possible. Any ideas? --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

26 Warren B&B is located in one of the early proprietor's homes in historic Hudson NY. It is a unique Adams style brick building with high ceilings and windows. 26 Warren offers four spacious bedroom, three with king size beds and one with a queen size bed and all with private bathrooms.

Right in the heart of town on Hudson's main street, everything is steps away. There are many antique and clothing shops, excellent restaurants and art galleries on Warren Street. The promenade, with beautiful views of the Catskill mountains and the river, is within a 1/2 block. Come relax and explore this exciting town, known as one of the ten most architecturally interesting small towns in the USA.

My husband and I spent an overnight stay at this B&B. We enjoyed the atmosphere of art and elegance. David the owner is a warm and interesting fellow who seemed to take pleasure serving his guests and creating a healthy and delicious breakfast. It was a beautiful experience and would most certainly recommend it to our friends!
4.2 on August 31, 2016
My husband and I just returned from a mid-week overnight in Hudson, on our mini road trip to several other overnights. I had chosen to stay in 26 Warren because it sounded funky and artsy, from online descriptions, and that was what we like. It ended up being exactly that. The bed was comfortable, the breakfast was outstanding, and talking to David, and to the other guests this morning, was great fun. If we're ever in Hudson again, we will definitely stay in 26 Warren!
4.8 on August 07, 2016
26 Warren is a charming B&B that is ideally located in Hudson, NY. The inn is located on a quiet section of the Main Street and close to the train station. The owner, David, is a gracious and accommodating host who also prepared wonderful B's for us each morning. I highly recommend this B&B and can't wait to visit again!!
4.8 on July 25, 2016
Charm and highest standard of BnB experience IS 26 Warren B&B! Large suite room was a great value for us as a mom-teen daughter getaway weekend...and the porch made for a second living room for yoga and tea at dawn! Everything we heard about Hudson was encapsulated in this BnB...art, high end setting and style in a laid back boho vibe--from the decor to the food to the service to the location!!
4.6 on July 16, 2016
We booked this room based on the many ratings we found on the internet, We were not disappointed. The B&B is a 1810 brick building, located within short walking distances of the Hudson River overlook, the Amtrak station and many, many stores and restaurants. The room we had was well appointed, a great king size bed which had a single mattress that was very firm and super nice to sleep on. The air conditioner kept us very comfortable as the time we went it was extremely humid and hot. The WI-FI worked flawlessly and we did not miss having a TV. Because we traveled with another couple, we shared a common spacious living room which also included a small refrigerator. Both our rooms had access to the back cover porch which came in handy during evening, after dinner drinks and kept us dry during a major rain storm. in the morning, David made one of the best breakfast servings we ever had! You will enjoy his cooking skills and commentary. David was also very cognizant of our military personnel and as I was retired from the Air Force, offered me a 15% discount on the room rate. Thank you David, it was appreciated. All in all we had a great time and I would recommend a stay there.

I visited Hudson to take a breather from the stress of NYC. It is only a two hour ride north by train, and the city of Hudson had been recommended. 26 Hudson was an easy choice after seeing all of its positive reviews. Some of the great things about 26 Hudson are - it is a short walk from the train station, also a short walk from great views of the Hudson River, it is at the beginning of the main street in Hudson, Warren Street, which is filled with good shopping and delicious restaurants. The building itself is historic, and eclectically decorated by your great host David Brown. My desired R & R was completely satisfied with the peace and quiet of 26 Warren. But don't sleep through the delicious breakfasts, as I did on my first days, you can always take an afternoon nap. Thanks again David.
5 on June 27, 2016
While visiting a friend in Hudson, I stayed at 26 Warren B & B. The owner is not only kind and interesting, but also very accommodating and a wonderful cook. As a vegan, I was delighted to find this vegetarian B & B right in Hudson, and David made delicious vegan breakfasts each morning for me. A perfect place to stay in historic Hudson, I can't wait to come back!
5 on June 06, 2016
I recently visited Hudson, NY for the first time and had the pleasure of staying at the 26 Warren B & B. My room was lovely, the host was charming and helpful, and the breakfast was simply amazing. The location, a five minute walk from the train station and next to the Hudson River, was perfect. I usually don't like to stay in a B & B but my stay here may make me a convert! I would definitely return to this wonderful house!
4.0 on May 11, 2016
This was the perfect place for a family reunion. We used 4 of the rooms and could spend time together in the living room and breakfast room. In keeping with the interesting historic architecture, and the eclectic variety of Hudson's shops, this is a beautiful old building with a lot of character. It works really well as a B and B. The rooms are spacious with unique furnishings, the bed was very comfortable, the breakfast was excellent, the location perfect (the quiet end of Warren Street). There is also a garden, and porches for sitting outdoors. What places like this offer that other accommodations can't is the atmosphere created by the owner. David was welcoming, helpful, and truly interested in his guests. We really enjoyed meeting him and staying in this unique B and B.
4.4 on January 02, 2015
We just stayed 2 nights at this wonderful bed and breakfast with the very charming owner David Brown. It was a last minute booking, and you never know how it goes with Bed & Breakfasts, usually pictures are better than the reality, but this time it was the reverse. The home is beautiful, you have all the privacy you need and a private bathroom. David is also an amazing improvisational chef... so every morning you can spend an hour chatting and enjoying the delicious coffee, eating healthy food that he whips up magically and presents beautifully. The location couldn't be better. A few blocks from the water front the setting is perfect and you get to wander on Warren St and enjoy all the beautifully curated shops. It's definitely the perfect blend of urban and small town. We would definitely return.

|Action proposal
|Sat, 16 Sep 2000 03:56:47 GMT
I finally got around to looking at action framework to see if it fitted all my needs. I tested it against the following applications I have developed in past. * Web-Based testing: - lots of implicit actions (actions mapped via which resource they access) - lots of explicit actions because users can perform actions - lots of different complexities (different roles for different people, different access privlidges) In it had things like the ability to change tests, change format, publish answers, block questions of certain tests, allow certain users to sit from certain IP addresses, lock down timing of tests etc etc Guess what C2 + proposed actions == 100% success :P * Web-based groupware: - lots of implicit actions - very few explicit actions C2 + proposed actions == 100% success * Front end to database - very few implicit actions - lots of explicit actions C2 + proposed actions == 100% success There is one more application I still have to test but I forgot to bring home design doc so I will do it next week :P Your proposed mapping via below is perfect for implicit actions <match type="uri" pattern="myapp/**"> <act type="session validation"> <act type="form-validation"> <select type="validation-check"> <when test="ok"> <act type="model-update"/> <generate src="next-page"/> </when> <otherwise> <generate src="this-page"/> </otherwise> </select> </act> </act> <generate src="login"/> </match> And probably the best way to define actions is just like you do with other components - ie <map:action default="none"> <map:action name="session-validator" src="org.apache.cocoon.action.MySessionValidator"/> <map:action name="admin-authorizer" src="org.apache.cocoon.action.MyAuthorizer"> <identity-manager name="org.apache.avalon.blocks.identity.SimpleIdentityManager" /> </map:action> <map:action name="validate-form" src="org.apache.cocoon.action.MyFormValidator"/> <schema>my-path-to-schema-resource.xsd</schema> </map:action> <map:action name="save-form" src="org.apache.cocoon.action.MyFormSaver"/> <database> ....... </database> </map:action> </map:action> Now when a user tries to access a resource what happens ? First cocoon will build up a list or chain of implicit actions. (Implicit meaning those that are defined via the sitemap). Then it will parse cookies/post/get input to grab the explicit user submitted actions and build an action chain out of them. However we don't want the user to be able to submit arbitary actions - we want control over this for security reasons - so this leads us to the next step: Action chains in sitemap <map:action-chains default="none"> <map:action-chain name="data-entry"> <map:perform action="validate-form" /> <map:perform action="save-form" /> </map:action-chain> <map:action-chain name="secure-data-entry"> <map:perform action="session-validator" /> <map:perform action="admin-authorizer" /> <map:perform action="validate-form" /> <map:perform action="save-form" /> </map:action-chain> <map:action-chain name="example-action-to-perform-linking"> <map:perform action="session-validator" /> <map:perform chain="action-linked-to" /> </map:action-chain> <map:action-chain name="action-linked-to"> <map:perform name="some-action" /> <map:perform name="another-action" /> </map:action-chain> </map:action-chains> The one last requirement is that remainin explicit actions in chain can be saved and deferred by some means programmatically. So in conclusion this is what C2 needs: * building implict action chain (as per Giacomo's proposal) * building explicitly requested action chain (as per above or another method) * some way to push explicitly submitted actions onto stack and then pop and execute them later There is still one application I haven't tested against but other than that I *believe* the proposal covers it all ? Anyone else out there who needs other features ? Anyways I will have a look at it some more next weekend (if I remember design to other site :P) One thing I did notice was that my sitemap became very very very very verbose. For instance on one of my apps my control screen is capable of submitting about 36 different types of actions. Is it possible in C2 to mount sitemaps at certain anchor points (ie /myapp1 ---> sitemap1, /myapp2 ---> sitemap2). If so then this point is irrelevent otherwise there was a serious verbosity problems :P Cheers, Pete *------------------------------------------------------* | "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want | | to test a man's character, give him power." | | -Abraham Lincoln | *------------------------------------------------------*

Disclaimer: I don't own Drake & Josh.
Author's note: This is my first fanfic ever, so it might not be that great. Hope you like it, though. Please read & review!
Drake's Dates
Chapter 1: The Psychopath
It was 2:00 P.M., and Drake just woke up to a sweet aroma. Josh had just put a batch of chocolate chip cookies for the school bake sale in the oven. Drake slowly made his way downstairs and into the kitchen.
"Good morning, Drake," Josh said.
"Sup," Drake responded.
"Listen very carefully. I have to leave in five minutes to go pick up my ointment at the pharmacy, and then go to work. I need you to take the cookies out of the oven when the timer rings. This is very important," Josh informed Drake.
"Yeah, yeah. I've got it taken care of," Drake said with a bit of an attitude (he's not a morning person).
Five minutes later Josh left. Five minutes after that the timer ringed. Two minutes before the timer rang Drake left for a date.
Drake was at the cinema waiting for his date, Tiffany, to arrive. Tiffany was one of the most popular, beautiful, and unique girls at his school. What is unique about her, Drake is about to find out.
When Tiffany finally showed up, they went to the candy counter to get free tickets from Josh (Drake always convinces Josh to give him tickets).
"Hey Josh. Two tickets," Drake ordered.
"Fine, but this is the last time," Josh lied, "By the way, did you get the cookies out okay?"
"What cookies?" Drake said confused about the situation.
"You forgot about the cookies?!"
Josh dashed out of the movie theatre.
"I wonder what's up with him," Drake said to his date, "Let's forget about the movie. We can just sit here and make out."
"Drake is a hunksicle." Tiffany said out loud to herself. "I know, isn't he dreamy? Yes. He's my man. No way girlfriend. Oh no you didn't."
This went on for another minute or so before Drake stopped her. "Why are you talking to yourself?" Drake asked, a little freaked out about what the answer was going to be.
"Sorry. I forgot to--no momma no!--take my pill this morning. Did I forget to mention I'm--don't tell him!--I have to--no--a psychopath?" replied Tiffany, interrupting herself along the way.
"What's a psychopath?" asked Drake.
"Oh, nothing really. Don't listen to her, she's a liar. I am not. Are so. It's where you're a slight bit crazy at times. All the time. He asked me, not you. Who cares? I do. No one cares if you care. If I don't take my pill, this is what happens," answered Tiffany, who was really freaking out Drake now.
"Look, I think I should take you home now," Drake said cautiously.
When Drake returned home, the fire department was at his house, hosing it down.
Just that instant, his mom, Megan, and Walter pulled into the driveway. They were gone shopping at the mall all day.
"What did you boys do to my house?" Drake's mom asked him.
"I left Drake home alone with cookies in the oven," Josh said, joining them.
"That explains it," Megan said with a smirk on her face.
Author's Note: I hope you liked it. If you want me to continue with Drakes Dates please review and give suggestions for new ideas. Thanx.

Any guidebook worth its salt has a section specifically designated to advice for women travellers. Well now one company has taken this a stage further by offering women-only holidays.
According to specialist travel organiser The Independent Traveller (0870 760 5001; independenttraveller.com), there is a growing demand for holidays at the exclusive end of the market, where women can travel with like-minded individuals.
As a result, they have devised a selection of activity holidays geared for women with a penchant for luxury travel who want to explore adventurous spots they might otherwise feel anxious about visiting.
'Women are eager to explore the world and experience different cultures, but may have reservations about doing so alone,' said Rosemary Sloggett, director of Independent Traveller. 'Our holidays have been designed specifically to suit women, comprising exotic destinations, quality accommodation, a well-paced and exciting itinerary and travelling companions with a shared outlook on life.'
The first tours commence in September 2005 to Marrakesh and South Africa. Trips scheduled for 2006 include getting up close to Chacma baboons and tast ing award-winning wines in South Africa, a visit to the National Women's Commission in Nepal and travelling to India to meet women who work with underprivileged children.

Meanwhile, Patrick Sanders was getting the closest flight to Nashville. 12:00 p.m. was the closest time. He looked at the clock. 11:00 a.m. If he left right now, he'd be there by 11:50 a.m. But then he wouldn't be able to pack. He grabbed his keys, his wallet, his laptop (which was conveniently in his laptop bag), and left.
* * *
He hated planes. Despised them. No, that was even an understatement. But driving was no better. And this was the first time he'd loved somebody since the death of his wife.
* * *
Patrick got off the plane, thankful for the solid ground beneath him. He saw many women with signs that had different people's names on it. Then he realized something. Sarah had no idea when he was supposed to get there. He got on the computer and sent her a message. Luckily she was on still.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
In October I was caught shoplifting $114 of merchandise from Macy's. The cops came but I was not arrested. I went to court, and plead guilty. I received a fine and 60 hours community service. This was my first offense ever, will it be on y record?
Yes. You should try to set aside your plea and sentence. Hire an attorney in your area.
This content is informational only and does not establish an attorney-client relationship.Ask a similar question
Ordinarily, shoplifitng is a disorderly persons offense if the amount stolen is retail under $200.00, as it is here. If this was plead to a lesser charge, such as a city ordinance, it will still remain on your record. You have not been convicted of a felony on a first offense.
If you wish to expunge this charge, or remove it from your record, you have to wait a period of time based on what you plead to. Disorderly person offense is five years and city ordinance is two years. You can expunge your record with the assistance of a criminal defense attorney.
The maximum penalty for a disorderly persons offense is 6 months in jail and $1,000.00 fine. You were fortunate being able to plea and not recieve jail time. Hope this has been helpful.

I agree with my colleagues that you should talk to an attorney about reopening your case and exploring your options.

I do my best to inspire you with centerfold-worthy food, but I'm certainly not a photographer. So when you're not in the mood to eat healthy…when the Golden Arches are calling your name…please first turn to the best healthy food porn the internet has to offer! These blogs are the antidote to "This Is Why You're Fat."
Oh…oh I am.
Then there is Simply Breakfast. "The Art of Breakfast."
This makes me want to weep. And then move to Europe.
I love that these blogs are putting gorgeous pictures of healthy food in one happy place! They just have tons and tons of pretty pics; I can't look at them and not want to eat healthy! It makes me want to go to the farmers market right now for berries and then milk a cow to make my own cream and butter.
But you're still wanting that cheeseburger? OK, fine. Here's some meat.
Lord have mercy.
So not interested in food anymore.
This makes me want to start a new blog with manly pics like this. I'll call it "This Is Why You're Wet."
Happy Hump Day, girls and boys!

We're excited to be getting home tomorrow. We've been very fortunate through all our travels and have enjoyed sharing our adventures with our friends and family. We're glad I wrote the blog because it's already hard to remember some of the names of places we've been!

Dinner was at a very small local eatery where we had pork and potatoes ( of course) and wine. We sat at long wooden table with benches..family style. A neighborhood German place full of locals and fun to experience. We returned "home" and settled down for the night.

Read Along for TKAM: Chapter 2 and 3
I totally forgot about Scout's first day at school and Miss. Caroline! I couldn't help but laugh out loud when Scout tried to tell her teacher that she can already read and write, and is told promptly it must be in a wrong way. First graders are not supposed to come to school already knowing how to read and write and this makes Scout not want to go back to school as reading with Atticus is important to her. I wonder what Miss. Caroline would think if she knew who taught Scout to write? Scout and her classmates also try to inform their new to Maycomb teacher about the Ewells and Cunninghams. The way that Lee writes these scenes are both humourous and descriptive of the people in the scenes.
Sissy Spacek is not reading this like a play (doing different voices and with dramatic flair). This way of reading actually works as Harper Lee's words on their own provide enough of drama and clear and distinct characters.

P.S. Tomorrow on the agenda after work is to watch "Lillies of the Field" as I read the book a few weeks ago, and wanted to see how the adaptation works. So the TBT review(s) is posted today in hopes of getting to the movie and writing a post on Watch or Read?
TBT Review II: Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker
I really enjoyed Jennifer Chiaverini's Mrs Lincoln's Rival that I decided to see if there was another book was available on audio...
Written by Jennifer Chiaverini
Narrated by Christina Moore
2013, 368 Pages (14 Hours and 4 Minutes)
Genre: historical fiction, american history, politics, fashion
Rating: ★★★
Mrs. Lincoln dressmaker is Elizabeth "Lizzie" Keckley a freed slave with her own dress shop frequented by all the women in Washington high society. When Abraham Lincoln becomes President his wife Mary looks to Lizzie to dress her for every event. Mary is a nervous woman afraid that everyone is looking down on her and is easily agitated. Lizzie soon discovers more about the First Lady and become her confidant. In fact, Mary greatly relies on Lizzie.
First half of the novel is Lizzie getting to know Mary and is living a good life. When the President is assassinated Mary is left alone and becomes more unstable. Mary now has less pull and even less wealth but has not come to terms with it. Once her debts get out of control she asks Lizzie to help sell the dresses Lizzie made for her.
Mary's debts and instability brings Lizzie down as well. She leaves her shop to help Mary and loses revenue and clients. Her association with the former First Lady also brings her down socially. Lizzie seems to be Mary's maid more than a friend that she says she is. When Lizzie is pushed into writing a memoir she thinks this may restore her and Mary's reputation instead this breaks their friendship and Mary spirals down mentally.
Elizabeth "Lizzie" Keckley does in fact write a memoir and this seems to be the basis of this novel. Again Chiaverini gives a lot of information and some of it is not useful to the story. Rather it seems like a random trivia bit. I did not like this novel as much as Mrs. Lincoln's Rival. Mary and Lizzie were not overly likeable but also seemed to lack the engaging characteristics. I did enjoy the audiobook format for Chiaverini's novels. I feel like I take in more of the facts than I would reading it (as I totally would have skimmed...okay skipped).

TBT Review: Mrs. Lincoln's Rival
I read Mrs. Lincoln's Rival by Jennifer Chiaverini in January 2014...
Written by Jennifer Chiaverini
Narrated by Christina Moore
2014; 435 Pages (17 Hours and 23 Minutes)
Genre: historical fiction, american history
(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).
Rating: ★★★★
Kate Chase Sprague is the eldest daughter of an ambitious lawyer, Salmon P. Chase who had his eye on the Presidential seat. With the death of his second wife, Kate becomes Salmon's hostess. She was at his side to attend parties and threw parties on his behalf. Kate saw herself as the First Lady as her father rose in politics. Unfortunately for Kate and Salmon, Abraham Lincoln would become President and thus putting Kate and Mary Todd Lincoln at odds.
While Kate liked Mr. Lincoln she felt snubbed by his dull wife. Mary on the other hand thought Kate was snubbing her because Kate felt she was the rightful First Lady. The two would try to outdo the other through proper social circles.
Kate then focuses on her own life and falls for an ambitious Rhode Island politician, William Sprague. The two political minds seem perfect for one another or do they?
I enjoyed this novel but it is a bit overly descriptive in the day to day activities I appreciated most of them as I did not know too much about Lincoln's presidency or the key players. At the time I found the main character, Kate Chase, to be arrogant but she did not turn me off reading the book. Other than Lincoln and Kate's younger sister most of the characters seemed unlikeable - very flawed but realistic characters. I really enjoyed listening to this novel in audiobook format.

Read Along for TKAM: Chapter One
Last night I was ready for bed by ten o'clock. I tried to finish my eBook (Friction by Sandra Brown - review to come in a later post) but my eyes would not stay open so I had to give up halfway into the novel. As I snuggled under the covers, despite the heat, I pushed in my earbuds and clicked on "play". Sissy Spacek's smooth slow drawl filled my ears...
"When he was nearly thirteen, my brother Jem got his arm badly broken at the elbow. When it healed, and Jem's fears of never being able to play football were assuaged, he was seldom self-conscious about his injury. His left arm was somewhat shorter than his right; when he stood or walked, the back of his hand was at right angles to his body, his thumb parallel to his thigh."

First Read Along: To Kill a Mockingbird
To Kill a Mockingbird (written by Lee Harper) this month...and have asked you to join me in reading along. I will be starting the book tomorrow (Sunday, August 16, 2015) with the first few chapters. This time around, my third or fourth reread, I will be listening to the audiobook read by actress, Sissy Spacek. I will discuss my progress every other day starting on Monday. Please note, all comments are my own opinion, and my aim is to to give my thoughts and to entertain.
That summer I would check out the book from the library and try and read a novel that was over my ten year old mind. I read the book literally and I was shocked that everyone wasn't treated equally, and that the truth and what was right was not clear to everyone. I think it was then I shed my Leave to Beaver image of life and grasped a little bit of the "real" world. Also, that year I read Iggy's House (by Judy Blume) and again this sense of other and segregating the other just tripped my mind. It definitely made me look at things differently. I started to learn at that age is that you have to pick your battles; and when you do pick them, fight like hell and stand your ground because it may just be you on your side. It's a lesson that has served me well. (My classmates never treated me any different than others and I was never bullied for any reasons so my battles have been very few.)
My parents and my maternal grandmother instilled in me a lot of Atticus' views. I was to look at a person for who they are inside and the decisions they make, instead of looking at a person's outside and judging things about them they cannot change. While I have not wanted to be a lawyer I've always felt this lean towards finding something that helps people...and I have done that, to some extent, in some of my jobs. I treat people as I would want to be treated and try (though it can be difficult) to walk in another person's shoes.

Tuesday Night Theatre Reviews
On Sunday, I went to see Les Miserables at one of my local theatre (Arts Club, Vancouver) with a good friend of mine, and tonight we both went and saw The Importance of Being Earnest (Beach House Theatre, White Rock). The former was a novel (by the same name, written by Victor Hugo) adapted to a musical and the latter is actually written as a play (written by Mr. Oscar Wilde).
Les Miserables other than it is about a thief, a Revolution and it is set in France. I enjoyed the film but was mesmerized by this version of the play. The actors of the Arts Club were great with singing, acting and keeping me thoroughly entertained - whether it was laughing or crying. The authentic looking costumes and beautiful sets just added to the experience. I highly recommend Les Miserables if you are able to see it!
Mr. Oscar Wilde is a genius of words and wit. His quotes from prose, plays and other works are always so funny and true. I love his writing and reading his plays. A few years back the Arts Club did a version of The Importance of Being Earnest and I thought it was brilliant and worth Wilde's expectations. So I was excited to see Beach House Theatre chose to do Wilde this year instead of their usual Shakespeare play. I have been to a middle of the run and last show of the season and thought it would be cool to try opening night. Unfortunately, they started out a bit rocky and not very confident in their roles. Algernon was a bit overplayed and Lady Bracknell was flat and spoke to low. In the second act they started to fall in place as Cecily and Miss. Prism were introduced and their acting was spot on. Actor, Paul Richardson, stole the show with his portrayal of Lane, Moulton and Grisby. I think those with tickets for closing night will be very happy.
I am hoping to do at least ONE Bard on the Beach (Vancouver) later this month. I will keep you posted!

Mystery Monday: Memorable Memory Man
Looking for something a bit different in a suspense thriller....TRY
(Amos Decker: #1)
Written by David Baldacci
2015; 405 Pages
Genre: mystery, suspense, thriller, psychological
Rating: ★★★★1/2
(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review).
Amos Decker has already died twice - once on the football field that ended his pro-ball career and left him with a side-effect of never being able to forget anything; then as a detective he comes home to find his wife, young daughter and brother-in-law brutally murdered and is unable to forget any details. A year later, Amos is now working as a PI and a man has come forward to confess to the triple homicide. Before the police can delve into this investigation there is a shooting at the school. If Amos wants his family's case solve he must join forces with his former partner and boss and use his special gift.
Right off, I enjoyed The Memory Man's unique plot. It really made the suspense pop off the page along with good writing. Amos is already a favourite character and I am so excited this will be a series. Baldacci not only writes characters that are interesting, realistic, memorable but also characters that are endearing and familiar. While you could read this as a standalone thriller suspense I doubt you will as Baldacci sets up the series and has you clamoring for more Amos Decker. I am keeping this review short so that I do not reveal any spoilers.

Review: No One Needs to Know - Really!
Written by Kevin O'Brien
2015; 419 Pages
Genre: mystery, suspense, thriller
(I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest reviw).
Rating: ★★★
The first book I finished for August 2015 turned out to be a bit disappointing. No One Needs to Know is a suspense thriller written by Seattle writer Kevin O'Brien. The premise of the novel was right up my alley, but the execution of the plot fell a bit flat.
First, we meet Laurie Trotter - a widowed single mother working as a cook/waitress at the local diner, has a stalker. Not just any stalker, but the man who she had a brief fling with 2 years ago, while her husband was off fighting for his family and country. To escape the situation she moves to Seattle and manages to get a catering job with Cheryl. Cheryl, meantime, has lost her former employee to an explosion of her food truck that was really not an accident. Insert a hitwoman, cult leader and a very large set of secondary characters that don't always fit in the plot. Oh, and did I mention the Holbrooks? They come later and I'm still wondering about them.
In the 1970s an actress, her musician husband, son and nanny are brutally murdered by a cult that later commits mass suicide. (Nope, not the Manson Family.) Now, some 40 years later a writer puts out a screenplay about the "truth" behind the murders that will "blow the lid off" everything! The movie, like many other horror films, is fraught with bad luck and Laurie is starting to believe she may have put herself, and young son, further in danger.
I don't think this was a horrible book but it seemed to lack a bit cohesion and ran on a bit too long. We are given so many suspects and red herrings that when we get to the climax we already have it figured out. Too many characters, story lines and uneven pacing often had me putting down the book to try and figure out what's happening (and so I lost a bit of the scary thriller and edge of your seat suspense feeling). I just felt by 2/3 of the book I didn't care as there was too much going on but enough loose ties beginning to come together. I do like what O'Brien was trying to do (cold case mystery tying in with the present) and enjoyed parts of the novel where he was able to create suspense.
Honestly, for great West Coast suspense I would recommend a Rick Mofina novel.

Tonight I have been working on my August reading plan and I noticed that:
2. I have the most eclectic taste - from picture books to history to suspense, etc
3. I really should be smarter than I feel I am
4. I am glad I own a library card and have generous friends
5. I should probably be reading right now if I want to even make a dent in that list.
So here is what I HAVE to read:
-Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson
I am determined to catch up in the In Death series (with the audiobooks I have my hands on so far) and am currently listening to:
-Festive in Death (Book 49) JD Robb
I want to reread TKAM before I read the "newest" GSAW as do some others so am leading a discussion for a monthly read (for a group on GR I co-moderate) and am going to listen to Sissy Spacek narrate:
-To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I am hoping that I can squeeze in another audiobook for another monthly read (for another group on GR) :
-Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury
AND, also for that same group, read:
-The Prime of Miss. Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark
Also, for challenges on GR (more on my challenges later this week!) I hope to read:
-Lilies of the Field by William E. Barrett
-Kill For Me (Book 9) Karen Rose-Gone Missing (Book 4) Linda Castillo
Then there are books I have asked or been asked to review (usually via NetGalley):
-No One Needs to Know by Kevin O'Brien (read and review to come!)
-Jars of Hope by Jennifer Roy
-Friction by Sandra Brown-Dear Mister Essay Writer Guy by Dinty W. Moore
-My Family Tree and Me by Dušan Petričić -Broken Promise (Book 1) Linwood Barclay
-The Escape by Hannah Jayne
-Alfred Hitchcock: The Man Who Knew Too Much by Michael Woods
-Swerve by Vicki Pettersson
-The Little Free Library Book: Take a Book Return a Book by Margaret Aldrich
-Murder Stone by Charles Todd-Sisters in the Wilderness: The Lives of Susanna Moosie and Catherine Parr Traill by Charlotte Gray
-Our Auntie Rosa: The Family of Rosa Parks Remembers Her Life and Lessons
How do I even read 10% of this list? Stay tuned and find out!
For those with book clubs and kids please watch for special posts for you!

What about the badges?
|Brownie badge
A few years ago I joined NetGalley (NG) (a service that provides ARCs to "professional readers and helps promote new and upcoming titles. Professional readers refers to reviewers, media, journalists, bloggers, librarians, booksellers and educators") that has helped me try new books and let other readers know what I think. I believe a year or so ago they provided/rewarded many of their professional readers with badges. I am lucky to have been awarded 3 out of 4 badges, plus a badge for a 2015 challenge.
So what exactly is on my reader sash? I am glad you asked!
Lastly, the badge for Book Advocate 2015 was given out this month to those who are serious about advocating books through reviews, and in having this badge you express your pride in books and reading. More on this later (other than accepting this challenge I have not delved into this challenge).
I want to thank all of you have supported me by just reading my blog and reviews so that I can continue to do what I love - read and write :)

Damien: before Phil wakes upMature
The open relationship would probably work better if Phil wasn't so possessive. I guess I forgot how bad he could get. It seems like I'm spending more and more time with Phil and far less with Kyle. I'm not even sure if I mind, to be honest. Phil is the sort of support Kyle used to give me, and I know he can't help it that he's not capable of being there for me as much anymore, but I need this support. So I s'pose it's natural that I would spend more time with Phil anyways.
He's taken control of my drug use now too. Not in the way that that pimp guy controls Kyle's use, though. Just to make sure I don't OD and that I'm slowly using less over time, since I can't afford treatment at the hospital or rehab.
Kyle's half asleep on the couch when I go downstairs late in the morning.
"You alright there?" I ask, wondering if I should move him up to the bedroom so he can sleep properly.
"Wha?" he stirs a little. I repeat my question, and all I get out of him is an "mmm." Helpful.
"Want anything to eat?"
"Sure," he says, rubbing at his eyes. I nod, and make us both toast. He thanks me when I hand him his and starts eating. I join him on the couch exchanging a small smile with him as I dig in. When he's done eating, he puts his plate on the floor, stretching a little. "Phil still in bed?" I nod and he hums slightly. I dump my plate on top of his and flash him another small smile.
"I wanted some time with you. I don't see you as much anymore," I mutter, trying not to let him see that it upsets me.
"Might wanna speak to Phil about that," he mumbles.
"I know," I sigh, "sorry."
He gives me a weak smile, "S'okay." I cuddle up to him, wishing that it really was okay. It doesn't feel okay. He cuddles back and kisses my cheek, pulling a hum from me. I bury my head in his neck, hoping Phil stays asleep for a few more hours. I cuddle him a little tighter as he lets out a little sigh, trying to think of something to say. "I guess I deserve it, really." I unbury my head a little at that. What would make him say that?
"I didn't appreciate it enough when I had you to myself." I stay quiet. I haven't got a clue what to say to that. It's not like there was much to appreciate, just a dependant, desperate fuck up for a boyfriend. "So I guess this is like my punishment or something."
"Don't say that," I mumble, "I don't want you to feel like that." He doesn't say anything. "This isn't supposed to make you feel like that." I want to suggest that we quit with the open relationship thing, but some part of me rejects that idea. I give him a little kiss. "I love you," I remind him.
He returns the kiss, "I love you too."
"We should go out somewhere," I murmur, more voicing my thoughts aloud than anything else, "before Phil wakes up."
"I'd like that," he smiles. I sort of nod, pulling him up. The world can deal with the fact I'm only wearing baggy sweats and a scraggy shirt. He hugs my waist and I plant a kiss on his lips that he returns. I stop long enough to slip on a pair of sneakers and pretty much drag Kyle from the house.
