And Another Thing... (Hitchhiker's Guide Series #6)by Eoin Colfer
And Another Thing ... will be the sixth novel in the now improbably named Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy trilogy. Eight years after the death of its creator, Douglas Adams, the author's widow, Jane Belson, has given her approval for the project to be continued by the international number one bestselling children's writer, Eoin Colfer, author of the Artemis Fowl novels. Douglas Adams himself once said, 'I suspect at some point in the future I will write a sixth Hitchhiker book. Five seems to be a wrong kind of number, six is a better kind of number.' Belson said of Eoin Colfer, 'I love his books and could not think of a better person to transport Arthur, Zaphod and Marvin to pastures new.' Colfer, a fan of Hitchhiker since his schooldays, said, 'Being given the chance to write this book is like suddenly being offered the superpower of your choice. For years I have been finishing this incredible story in my head and now I have the opportunity to do it in the real world.' Prepare to be amazed...

Read an Excerpt
Chapter 1
According to a janitor's assistant at the Maximegalon University, who often loiters outside lecture halls, the universe is sixteen billion years old. This supposed truth is scoffed at by a clutch of Betelgeusean beat poets who claim to have moleskin pads older than that (rat a tat-tat). Seventeen billion, they say, at the very least, according to their copy of the Wham Bam Big Bang scrolls. A human teenage prodigy once called it at fourteen billion based on a complicated computation involving the density of moon rock and the distance between two pubescent females on an event horizon. One of the minor Asgardian gods did mumble that he'd read something somewhere about some sort of a major-ish cosmic event eighteen billion years ago, but no one pays much attention to pronouncements from on high anymore, not since the birth of the gods debacle, or Thorgate as it has come to be known.
However many billions it actually is, it is billions, and the old man on the beach looked as though he'd counted off at least one of those million millions on his fingers. His skin was ivory parchment, and viewed in profile he closely resembled a quavering uppercase S.
The man remembered having a cat once, if memories could be trusted as anything more than neuron configurations across trillions of synapses. Memories could not be touched with one's fingers. Could not be felt like the surf flowing over his gnarled toes could be felt. But then what were physical feelings but more electrical messages from the brain? Why believe in them either? Was there anything trustworthy in the Universe that one could hug and hold onto like a Hawaliusian wind staunch in the midst of a butterfly storm, apartfrom a Hawaliusian wind staunch.
Bloody butterflies, thought the man. Once they'd figured out the wing fluttering a continent away thing, millions of mischievous lepidoptera had banded together and turned malicious.
Surely that cannot be real, he thought. Butterfly storms?
But then more neurons poured across even more synapses and whispered of improbability theories. If a thing was bound never to happen, then that thing would resolutely refuse not to happen as soon as possible.
Butterfly storms. It was only a matter of time.
The old man wrenched his focus from this phenomenon before some other catastrophe occurred to him and began its rough slouch to be born.
Was there anything to trust? Anything to take comfort from?
The setting suns lit crescents on the wavelets, burnished the clouds, striped the palm leaves silver, and set the china pot on his veranda table twinkling.
Ah, yes, thought the old man. Tea. At the center of an uncertain and possibly illusory universe there would always be tea.
The old man traced two natural numbers in the sand with a walking stick fashioned from a discarded robot leg and watched as the waves washed them away.
One moment, there was forty-two and the next there wasn't.
Maybe the numbers were never there and perhaps they didn't even matter.
For some reason this made the old man cackle as he leaned into the incline and plodded to his veranda. He settled with much creaking of bone and wood into a wicker chair that was totally sympathetic to the surroundings, and called to his android to bring some biscuits.
The android brought Rich Tea.
Good choice.
Seconds later the sudden appearance of a hovering metal bird caused a momentary lapse in dunking concentration and the old man lost a large crescent of his biscuit to the tea.
"Oh, for heaven's sake," grumbled the man. "Do you know how long I have been working on that technique? Dunking and sandwiches. What else is left to a person?"
The bird was unperturbed.
"An unperturbed bird," said the old man softly, enjoying the sound of it. He closed the bad eye that hadn't worked properly since he'd fallen out of a tree as a giddy boy, and examined the creature.
The bird hovered, its metallic feathers shimmering crimson in the sun's rays, its wings beating up tiny maelstroms.
"Battery," it said in a voice that reminded the old man of an actor he had once seen playing Othello at London's Globe Theatre. Amazing what you can get from the tone of a single word.
"You did say battery?" said the man, just to confirm. It could possibly have been flattery, or even hattery. His hearing was not what it used to be, especially on initial consonants.
"Battery," said the bird again, and suddenly reality cracked and fell to pieces like a shattered mirror. The beach disappeared, the waves froze, crackled, and evaporated. The last thing to go was the Rich Tea.
"Bugger," muttered the old man as the final crumbs dissipated on his fingertips, then he sat back on a cushion in the room of sky that suddenly surrounded him. Someone would be coming soon, he was sure of it. From the dim caverns of his old memories, the names Ford and Prefect emerged like gray bats to associate themselves with the impending disaster.
Whenever the Universe fell apart, Ford Prefect was never far behind. Him and that accursed book of his. What was it called? Oh, yes. The Pitchforker's Pride Is a Fallacy.
That, or something very close to it.
The old man knew exactly what Ford Prefect would say.
Look on the bright side, old mate. At least you're not lying down in front of a bulldozer, eh? At least we're not being flushed out of a Vogon air lock. A room of sky is not too shabby, as it happens. It could be worse, a lot worse.
"It will be a lot worse," said the old man with gloomy certainty. In his experience, things generally got worse, and on the rare occasion when things actually seemed to get better, it was only as a dramatic prelude to a cataclysmic worsening.
Oh, this room of sky seemed harmless enough, but what terrors lurked beyond its rippling walls? None that were not terrible, of that the old man was certain.
He poked a finger into one of the wall's yielding surfaces and was reminded of tapioca pudding, which almost made the old man smile, until he remembered that he had hated tapioca ever since a bullying head boy had filled his slippers with the stuff back in Eaton House Prep.
"Blisters Smyth, you sneaky shit," he whispered.
His fingertip left a momentary hole in the clouds, and through it the old man caught a glimpse of a double-height sash window beyond, and outside the window, could that be a death ray?
The old man rather feared that it was.
All this time, he thought. All this time and nothing has happened.
Ford Prefect was living the dream. Providing the dream included residence in one of Han Wavel's ultraluxury, five-supergiant-rated, naturally eroded hedonistic resorts, filling one's waking hours with permanent damage amounts of exotic cocktails, and liaisons with exotic females of various species.
And the best bit: The expense of this whole self-indulgent and possibly life-shortening package would be taken care of by his Dine-O-Charge card, which had no credit limit thanks to a little creative computer tinkering on his last visit to the Hitchhiker's Guide offices.
If a younger Ford Prefect had been handed a blank page and asked to, in his own time, write a short paragraph detailing his dearest wishes for his own future, the only word he might have amended in the above was the adverb possibly. Probably.
The resorts of Han Wavel were so obscenely luxurious that it was said a Brequindan male would sell his mother for a night in the Sandcastle Hotel's infamous vibro-suite. This is not as shocking as it sounds, as parents are accepted currency on Brequinda and a nicely moisturized septuagenarian with a good set of teeth can be traded for a mid-range family moto-carriage.
Ford would perhaps not have sold either parent to finance his sojourn at the Sandcastle, but there was a bicranial cousin who was often more trouble than he was worth.
Every night, Ford rode the fleshevator to his penthouse, croaked at the door to grant him entry, then made time to look himself in the bloodshot eyes before passing out facedown in the basin.
This is the last night, he swore nightly. Surely my body will revolt and collapse in on itself.
What would his obituary say in the Hitchhiker's Guide? Ford wondered. It would be brief, that was for sure. A couple of words. Perhaps the same two words he had used to describe Earth all those years ago.
Mostly harmless.
Earth. Hadn't something rather sad happened on Earth that he should be thinking about? Why were there some things he could remember and others that were about as clear as a hazy morning on the permanently fogbound Misty Plains of Nephologia?
It was generally at about this maudlin stage that the third Gargle Blaster squeezed the last drop of consciousness from Ford's overjuiced brain and he would giggle twice, squawk like a rodeo chicken, and execute a near perfect forward tumble into the nearest bathroom receptacle.
And yet every morning when he lifted his head from the en suite basin (if he was lucky), Ford found himself miraculously revitalized. No hangover, no dragon breath, not even a burst blood vessel in either sclera to bear witness to the previous night's excesses.
"You are a froody dude, Ford Prefect," he invariably told himself. "Yes, you are."
There is something fishy going on here, his rarely-heard-from subconscious insisted.
So long and thanks for all the
Wasn't there something about dolphins? Not fish, true, but they inhabited the same...habitat.
Think, you idiot! Think! You should be dead a hundred times over. You have consumed enough cocktails to pickle not only yourself but several alternate versions of yourself. How are you still alive?
"Alive and froody," Ford would say, often winking at himself in the mirror, marveling at how lustrous his red hair had become. How pronounced his cheekbones. And he seemed to be growing a chin. An actual chiseled chin.
"This place is doing me good," he told his reflection. "All the photo-leech wraps and the irradiated colono-lemming treatments are really boosting my system. I think I owe it to Ford Prefect to stay another while."
And so he did.
On the last day, Ford charged an underwater massage to his credit card. The masseur was a Damogranian pom-pom squid with eleven tentacles and a thousand suckers that pummeled Ford's back and cleaned out his pores with a series of whiplash tapotement moves. Pom-pom squids were generally hugely overqualified for their work in the spa industry, but were tempted away from their umpteenth doctorates by the lure of high salaries, plankton-rich pools, and the chance of massaging a talent scout for the music industry and maybe getting themselves a record deal.
"Have you done any talent scouting, friend?" asked the squid, though he didn't sound hopeful.
"Nope," replied Ford, bubbles streaming from his Plexiglas helmet, face shining orange in the pleasant glow of rock phosphorescence. "Though I once owned a pair of blue suede shoes, which should count for something. I still own one; the other is closer to mauve, due to it being a copy."
The squid nipped at passing plankton as he spoke, which made conversation a little disjointed.
"I don't know if..."
"If what?"
"I hadn't finished."
"It's just that you stopped speaking."
"There was a glint. I thought it was lunch."
"You eat glints?"
"No. Not actual glints."
"Good, because glints are baby gloonts, and they're poisonous."
"I know. I was merely saying that..."
"More glints?"
"Precisely. You're sure you're not a talent scout then, or an agent?"
"Oh, for Zark's sake," swore the squid, a little unprofessionally. "Two years I've worked here. Talent scouts and agents coming out of your suckers...they promised. Not one. Not bloody one. I was studying advanced kazoo, you know."
Ford couldn't resist a lead-in like that. "Advanced kazoo? How advanced can kazoo studies be?"
The squid was wounded. "Pretty advanced when you can play a thousand of them at the same time. I was in a quartet. Can you imagine?"
Ford gave it a go. He closed his eyes, enjoyed the whup-pop of the suckers on his back, and imagined four thousand kazoos playing in perfect subaquatic harmony.
Sometime later the squid enveloped Ford in half a dozen tentacles and gently flipped him over. Ford opened one eye to read the squid's badge.
I am Barzoo, read the tag. Use me as you will.

Colfer is really adept at channeling Adams' voice and style (which must be exhausting). He is-thankfully-a tad lighter in overall mood than Adams' dark, brooding 5th novel. This book is brilliant-head and shoulders above most everything else out there-but there was only one Douglas Adams. Colfer himself has said as much. Adams was a scientist disguised as a writer Colfer is definitely a very, very gifted and brilliant writer-but not scientist material. I can't think of anyone else who could have captured Adams' essence better. Even the tempo is astonishingly Douglas-ish. His vicious satire is absolutely spot-on, though with something one might say resembles a bit more of a silver lining. In the end a very worthy book that blends together into the previous storyline astonishingly well.
I REALLY wanted to like this book, as I had enjoyed the previous ones (the first 3 were the best) and liked the original radio series when it was broadcast by NPR in the early 1980's, and the extended radio series of a few years ago. It never took off for me. I never laughed out loud while reading it, and found it a bit of a chore to finish. I've had no previous experience with Eoin Colfer, so I had no bias at the start, and I did not read other reviews before purchasing.
This is the sixth book in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy." Eoin Colfer does a tolerable job of maintaining the tone of the original Douglas Adams HHGTTG (though he uses more profanity than Adams). The storyline is pretty good, giving some sarcastic/perceptive social commentary like the rest of the books. In my opinion, Colfer's promotion of Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged and Thor to major characters makes them far less amusing than they were in the original series. Overall, I'd say this was a decent effort, but you aren't missing too much if you skip it.
This book tries very hard to live up to the original Hitchhiker's books, but it is painfully obvious that Douglas Adams didn't write this one. The characters are the same, but it lacks the wit and sparkle that Adams brought to his galaxy.
I do appreciate the effort at continuing a dead author's series, but it seemed a bit too afraid to do something new. AAT promotes some small jokes to central plot points, which lost the charm, and then it ends at a cliffhanger that attempts to disguise itself as a series finale. Not terrible, but just doesn't hold up in comparison to the first five books and movie. Ddon't read unless you'rejust too curious about this... Thing.
Funny, neat, imaginative. Must buy.
Here is the sixth, and latest, installment in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy "trilogy," created by Douglas Adams. It was also published with the approval of Adams' widow. Arthur Dent has made his way back to Earth, but it isn't "his" Earth. The Vogons, with the extremely bad poetry, are working on destroying all possible versions of Earth, so Arthur must take off, again. Ford Prefect, writer for the Guide, and Zaphod Beeblebrox, former president of the Galaxy, are still around. Tricia McMillan is a former TV reporter who ran away with Zaphod, just before the Earth was destroyed. She changed her name to Trillian, and used some of Arthur's DNA to have Random, a daughter. Random is very smart, and has taken teenage surliness to new levels. A small remnant of humanity has made its way to a planet called Nano, run by an Irish property developer named Hunter Hillman. He feels that the humans need a god to worship. The Norse God Thor is one of the applicants. A being named Wowbagger travels around the galaxy handing out insults on various planets. What follows is a titanic battle involving Wowbagger, Thor and a cheese-based deity. For die-hard fans of the series, concerned that no one could do it like Adams, relax. Colfer is a veteran author who knows what he is doing, and it shows here. For those new to the series, read one or two of the early books first, and then read this. It's really worth reading.
I enjoyed this book because it is the continuing story that Douglas Adams might have written if he'd lived long enough to continue the story. Possibly the book he did write in another universe where the Vogons are about to blow up yet another Earth. Eoin Colfer channeled Douglas Adams using a voice and characters that fit perfectly into the world that fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy recognize and love. Just as Doulas Adams would, Colfer has created a collection of new characters to provide disastrous repercussions to anything the least bit positive in Arthur's life. Really, we know, Arthur wants a nice cup of tea, a kind and loving family, and to never have to leave earth or deal with another multi-appendaged, off-colored, non-Earth based being again. After all that has happened, Arthur would prefer to be bored, or possibly back on his beach making sandwiches. This is the next installment of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and I hope that there are more adventures on more worlds with more random members of the vast pantheon of myths and legends of both Earth and the other planets in our little galaxy. I'm sure Arthur would disagree. What happens when the Vogons figure out that Earth exists in alternate universes after Arther, Trillian, and their traveling companions have found a good pub on one of them? How does the Norse god Thor regain some of his past glory competing with cheese? Can a marriage work between a galactic president and a necklace hamster? Two out of three of these questions are answered in Eoin Colfer's And Another Thing. which is filled with all of the random tidbits of information one might expect from book 6 of 3 of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I loved it!
I probably rated this book a little higher than I would otherwise have just by dint of the fact that it was not written by Douglas Adams. And yet, had I hot seen the cover, had I not known that Adams was dead, I would never have know it wasn't him. In that alone, this book was astounding. There are some style differences if you're looking for them, but it is otherwise as though Eoin Colfer was channeling the spirit of Adams. Colfer manages to his the cadence, the humor and the out there nature of Adams, and I truly believe that no one could have done the great Douglas Adams more credit. And since the story fits, the characters fit and the humor and writing is spot on... In my mind it has already become a permanent member of the series. This book is a must read for any fan of the series.
AWESOME!!! Good going colfer
Beeblebrox. Just be glad he's out there. This is the first book for adults written by Eoin Colfer, writer of the Artemis Fowl series; This is the first sequel to the Hitchhiker's Guide that has been written since Douglas Adams' death in 2001. As fans of the series know, Douglas Adams writes with a singular voice, distinct, I think, from any other writer I've read. It's astounding to me that Colfer has been able to channel Adams' tone and wit to such a degree that I find the differences to be imperceptible. I don't know if Douglas Adams left any notes behind about future Hitchhiker's novels, but this one nestles in perfectly with the series. I don't think this replacement author gets enough credit for attempting to fill the shoes of the original creator. This has to be a difficult and cosmically unfair task, but Colfer nails it. This is a great book, and worthy to be part six of three.
I am going to buy this book immediately.I love Eoin Colfer and THGTTG. Mow that they are combined ,I am so happy. :)
A pretty weak story made more irritating by the constant interruptions by the Hitchhikers Guide.
I cant really compare this book to the others as I have not finished So Long and Thanks for All the Fish or any of the stories after. I was first introduced to HITCHHIKERS when the movie came out and rather enjoyed it. When I finally came across the books I was stoked. I found THE ULTIMATE HITCHHIKERS GUIDE at my local Salvation Army and picked it up for 20¿. What I have read from the orignal series I love. When I came across AND ANOTHER THING... at Dollar Tree I had to get it hell it was only a dollar. I was going to wait to read it until I was finished with the first books, alot of good that did. Once I started to read it I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed the Guide Notes and thought they were a good addition. Eoin Colfer did a great job at capturing Adams' spirit. Hope I can buckle down and finish the first books.
Like a lot of people, i reacted to the news that Eoin Colfer had been tapped to write a follow-on to Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" quintrilogy with equal amounts of "That might be cool" and "What the holy heck?" Having finally worked up the courage to approach And Another Thing with what I hoped was an open mind, my status report changes to "That was definitely cool" and "What the holy heck?" Colfer does a fairly amazing job of channeling the spirit and storytelling style of Adams, creating a tale that nicely balances the funny with the self-referential absurdism that raised Adams' work above the level of mere comedy. There's no question that And Another Thing fits well into the the ongoing series, and the open ending leaves hope that Colfer has more to say regarding Adams' characters (and that Adams' estate wants to let him say it). However, a part of that fit stems from the book being of a piece with Adams' last two HHG efforts, "So Long and Thanks for All the Fish" and "Mostly Harmless" -- which means that it holds up less well in comparison to the original "Hitchhiker's Guide" and "Restaurant at the End of the Universe", and positively pales in comparison to "Life, the Universe, and Everything". That third book in the series marked the first time that Adams delved into original storyline for the HHG saga, and it remains the best and freshest of the books for that reason. With books four and five, Adams seemed to be working from the perspective of being afraid to continue to push in the wholly new directions of "LtUaE", creating amazing new ideas but then scaling them back from some apparent lack of trust of his own instincts. "And Another Thing" carries that feeling of uncertainty, and though the book is funny and enjoyable at every turn, it feels a little too familiar in the end.

Meeting an Angel
Avalon was utterly different to how I remembered it. It was a lot less daunting. It felt like a great hall in the palace of a god. I had no fear. In all truth, I felt rather welcome.
I could hear the echo of our footsteps bouncing off abandoned walls. It felt empty. Suddenly, a creature emerged from the columns. Both the doppelganger and I raised our pistols in unison, and our instincts took over. I realised shortly after that the creature was no threat, quite the opposite. It was a beautiful, human-like creature, with feathery wings, and eyes like crystal. Recalling my books, I gasped.
It was an angel.
The doppelganger still stood her ground, arms akimbo, ready to strike. I knew that she didn't have to obey me, but I somehow knew she would.
"Okh Eshivar."
I was right. She looked to me, awaiting her order, but not in a regimented way. I would go as far to say, that I think she trusted me. I told her to relax, and that this creature would do us no harm. I smiled as her guns slipped obediently back into their halters.
The angel had a mysterious, aged quality to her voice. She began to speak, but as though she was a pre-recorded message, not really addressing us.
"Welcome to Avalon, warriors of Thor. In this betwixt world may you find the answers to your questions. In this place the dead roam, those whose deaths were mysterious and uncertain. Only when a loved one comes to finds closure, can they move on to a better place. Until then, they are left to wander the empty rooms, and ponder how life could have been."
"Well there's a welcome for you." I said sarcastically. The doppelganger's face remained ever blank.
"Ah well, Natla never made you for humor."
We both ventured on, in search of Alistair. We explored room after room. Now and again a thrall would burst in to give us trouble, but with my shotgun and the doppelganger's inhumanly quick moves, they were mere child's play.
We carried on, hours and hours of searching left us hungry, and irritable. Then I heard footsteps in another room. Forgetting our fatigue and empty stomachs, we darted to the room. I saw a man, with black hair that flopped over his forehead, facial hair creeping through his pale skin, familiar and piercing blue eyes, and a cigarette in the corner of his mouth. I couldn't physically believe it. He was here.

Muslim Leaders Must Do More To Stop Homophobia And Prejudice
A Bangladeshi LGBT rights activist, Xulhaz Mannan, and his friend were brutally hacked to death by an extremist group for "promoting homosexuality." The funeral picture showed local community members and Muslims offering his funeral prayers.
This clearly draws the line between those who see religion as a supremacist ideology and those for whom it is about being a better human being. However, it also indicates that it is indoctrination against blasphemy, apostasy and homosexuality that instigates young men to justify murder.
This necessitates that Muslim community leaders will have to intensify efforts to destroy the poison of medieval supremacist doctrines that are touted by zealots addressing their hollow identity crisis.
Such efforts are warranted, as death threats against LGBT Muslim activists have been issued even in places like Denmark. A harrowing article showed how the loved ones of LGBT Muslim activist Michael Sinan suggested that he stop participating in interviews and programs for his own safety.
Sinan mentioned that despite getting three death threats, not much was done by the local police or the LGBT organizations. This is extremely unfortunate, for apart from experiencing homophobia, LGBT Muslims also have to contend with anti-Muslim bigotry. Such prejudice is rampant, as evidenced from the many negative comments and messages such activists receive online.
Despite theological differences, there is no room in Islam to so poorly treat our LGBT Muslim brothers and sisters.
Sinan also mentioned receiving acceptance and inclusion in many Muslim communities; however, it is crucial that such support be made public to send out a strong message that Muslims have zero tolerance for bullying, abuse and discrimination against some of the most vulnerable members of their community.
Lives are at stake. This much is clear from the murders in Bangladesh. One death is far too many. The big organizations of Muslims can really send out a strong and powerful message that despite theological differences, there is no room in Islam to so poorly treat our LGBT Muslim brothers and sisters.
Indeed, it is time that false analogies of vulnerable LGBT Muslims with the people of Lot are put to an end. There is absolutely no equation between the lives of our children, our faith-based brothers and sisters, our own flesh and blood, with Lot's people, who displayed obscene conduct of inhospitality, coercion and exploitation.
Centuries have passed by with the perpetuation of such false constructs, but now that we are able to better understand human existence, that must end by revisiting the eternal core kernels of faith -- mercy, justice, compassion and love.
The life of Xulhaz Mannan cannot be returned, but his legacy can and should be kept alive. Similarly, against the backdrop of death threats and demeaning messages, we can all band together to stand by Michael Sinan and other marginalized LGBT Muslim activists in this hour.
The following Muslim leaders, along with their allies, have banded together to offer words of wisdom and comfort, to recognize the ultimate price paid by Xulhaz Mannan, and to tell Michael Sinan and other LGBT Muslim activists to continue to stand tall and assert their truth (haqq):
"The bravery shown by the work of Xulhaz, a man who had access to Western support and could have migrated but who decided to work in his home country, is the kind of dedication that leads to change. The violence against us is a way to instill fear and is meant to stop our progress. Our lives matter. Every single one of us is important. Yet, we must always move forward, continuing our movement with the understanding that such violence might occur."--Imam Daayiee Abdullah, Executive Director of the MECCA Institute
"We stand shoulder to shoulder with our queer Muslim family and mourn the loss of our brave leaders like Xulhaz Mannan, who is the real martyr, having risked his life for the good of humanity."--Shahla Khan Salter, Director, Universalist Muslims
"Discrimination against any members of a community threatens the security of all. Since all human beings are created b'tselem Elohim -- in the Divine image -- we each carry some of G-d's holiness within us. Michael, you have a lot of support in the broader community. Be strong."--Karen Gall, Jewish ally
"Michael, please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Stay strong... some of us will never give up supporting you."--Suroor Ali, Muslim ally
"You are not alone, Michael. Sending Lots of love and support!"--Kelly Wentworth, Secretary, Muslims for Progressive Values (MPV), President, MPV Atlanta
"The heart of Islam is compassion and mercy. If we are not promoting a compassionate and merciful Islam, we are promoting a harsh and dictatorial Islam. Our Islam cannot be both."--Frank Parmir, Director, MPV Columbus
"By living your life with pride and courage as you do, and making sajda (prostration) to no one except Allah (swt), you offer a great example of how to be a Muslim."--Mark Brustman, writer and activist
"Michael and friends, in these difficult times I hope you'll find strength and courage to stay true to yourself. You are in our thoughts and prayers."--Dr. Adis Duderija, Asia Institute, University of Melbourne
"While the people who commit violence are to blame for their own actions those who support contempt bear a part of the responsibility. And that is the true lesson of the story of Sodom and Gomorrah."--John Allenson, Jewish ally
"We don't need LGBT martyrs; we need actual, alive role models to whom people can look up to and get inspiration, courage and determination to be who they are. And we can make that happen by standing up for those who are already on the picket lines fighting the right fight or just too afraid to speak out. This is our salvation, our sadaq e jariya (perpetual charity)."--Hadi Hussain, writer and activist

This man gets it, in a roundabout way at least. Nintendo know what for some inane reason no one wants to admit: That in a technological equivalent 3 way race someone loses. Badly. It killed Sega, and if Nintendo had kept going like they were with the N64 and Gamecube it would have damaged them badly. Now they aim to be the second horse, the console people get in addition to their primary console. It worked with the Wii, but the WiiU has shown just how fickle people can be.
And despite Nintendo's mountains of money, they don't have the financial clout to take the risks Sony and Microsoft do. Microsoft makes mountains of cash too, so they are fine, and despite all the doom and gloom of Sony they are too big to fail, the Japanese government would never let it happen, much like how the UK Government propped up the banks in the financial crisis.
And you know, despite the poor hardware of the Wii, it still produced some visually stunning games like Super Mario Galaxy because, you know, Nintendo knows that a good artstyle can help things stand out.

People overhype how low the ram is, and don't seem to have a concept of how much RAM a actual game uses. Pretty much all games uses under 1GB of ram, with a few going SLIGHTLY over, but I've yet to see more then 200-300mb. Nintendo meanwhile has 2gb of RAM. 1gb dedicated to OS, 1gb to games.
If next gen games become more demanding, nintendo can easily free up half the OS reserved ram for video games, and it's also possible to add additional ram via USB, similar to how the N64 had a memory upgrade pack.
As for power, we cannot yet say how good the PS4/xbone will look as no footage has come out that was impressively different than ps3, and not prerendered, and the wii u is more powerful than both consoles.

Can they? Would they not be limited by the speed of USB2.0? I guess it could be used in some way as storage for levels and the such.
I dunno, it just sounds way to close to downloading more RAM to me.

I owned a PS3. And the upcoming Wii U games look better than many/all PS3 games graphically speaking (specifically Mario Kart 8, "X", and perhaps Pikmin 3).
That said, I'd have been a bit happier if the Wii U had 4 GB DDR3 RAM and a slightly better (~$40 more) GPU. It couldn't run open world games quite on the PS41box level, but it could have produced very similarly looking graphics in that situatiuon. As is, I expect Wii U games to look somewhat worse, although still awesome.

This is true. But just because you compete with something doesn't mean that competing is your end goal. The difference is Sony and Microsoft have this narrative of the console competition as a war where Nintendo has it as a marathon race.
In the console war, the end goal is to destroy your opponent. Whereas in the a marathon you can defeat your opponent simply by ensuring your own efficiency and mental fortitude.

China and Taiwan are two of the fastest growing economies of the newly industrialized countries. Much of their growth has come from multinational companies partly, it has often been assumed, because the region provides a "pollution haven" which the multinationals would not enjoy elsewhere. This book tests this hypothesis with detailed empirical research. Focusing on the chemical sector, the author compares the policies and behaviour of three multinational corporations with three large, local firms. The research shows that in fact the multinational companies have out performed local companies in the phenomenon of "greening".

Ask to leave
Hazel gets to her feet, disoriented. She helps Roxy up, her diaper crinkling. The hands widen threateningly, but they continue.
'Okay, we - uh - got our diapers and stuff, so can we leave?'
A metal something clangs above the ceiling angrily.
'Babies do not leave the nursery,' the voice says. 'For your actions, spankings.'
The metal arms dart back back down to Hazel and Roxy, hastily pulling their fresh diapers down. The girls yelp in unison as the hardest spankings of their lives are carried out.

Thank you
Up until this incident that happened approximately 8 months ago my father never believed me when I said 'we are not alone'. As I said from the very start, he did grow up in a very haunted house. The things he encountered were much more...vocal. Everyone heard the footsteps, everyone heard the piano playing, everyone heard the echo of people talking but very rarely could make out the words. They also happened every other day at the minimum. In my case things don't happen that are worth writing about every day, and not always are they worth mentioning to people who know how I feel about my home. I don't need to write every time I sense being watched, or hear possible footsteps but could also just be my house expanding and retracting due to the temperature. So for my dad to easily believe there is something here when he himself is only home to sleep Monday to Saturday and is here Sunday but again sleeps during most of it, is quiet hard. He had never experienced anything substantial.
Now what happened this summer night needs explaining. And I'd love to explain it to you. Only I can't. I have to go off of what my dad has told me and my memory. Unfortunately I see no reason at all for what happened. It seems to be completely random. But I know it was purposefully meant for my dad. Why, I will never know.
It was early July and I had the evening shift at work. I won't go into what I do for work or any detail about it, it is unimportant. What you do need to know is that I got off work at 10pm. And whenever I worked that late my father would come pick me up so that I didn't have to walk half an hour through thick steep hills that are filled with bears and cougars. He didn't say much to me when I got in the car. He asked the typical how was work, and I went off about how my dad was, and complained as always to him the entire 5 minute drive home. When we pulled into the driveway he said he was going to take the dog for a walk and he wanted me to come. This was unusual. I never went on walks with him and the dog. When I got home I always had a shower had a cup of tea and went to bed. I asked why and he told me he couldn't talk about it now just to do as he says. My mind instantly went to he saw some indication to suggest our house was again broken into and they were still in the house. It made no sense why we would be going into the house if that was the case. All in all it just was very strange.
Once we walked a couple blocks past our house I asked my dad what it was he wanted. Every night my dad turns on his very small 13in television and puts a timer on it for 30 minutes. Obviously this television is about 15 years old and the remote allowed you to turn it on and off, change the channel, volume and timer. He proceeded to tell me as usual he did this only this time he awoke at around I believe it was 4am. The television was on. On the screen read "Thank you - The hallway whisperer."

This was my easy outfit for Sunday.
The floral dress is from Zara and the ballet pumps were a super bargain from H&M, about £7 I think. We can all use a good pair of tan pumps!
My hair was day number….. erm I don't want to admit how old these curls are! Let's just say more than 3! I originally used the BaByliss Curling Wand which creates the most indestructible curls! All I do is tie my hair back in the shower, then brush it out with my tangle teezer and then spray the ends with John Frieda's Luxurious Volume Thickening Hairspray. And done!
The makeup took about a minute. It is Olay's Touch of Foundation in Medium, Max Factor False Lash Effect in Black Brown and Clinique's Chubby Stick in Chunky Cherry.

Presidential support
On Monday, we commemorate our two most influential presidents, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Try to find a way to honor the man who "fathered" our nation as well as the one who kept it together.
One suggestion: Make it a point to buy American on that date. Lots of stores feature Presidents Day sales — often involving furniture and other high-priced merchandise — and it could be a good opportunity for those stores to highlight American-made goods so that consumers can make that a conscious choice.
With a little research, you can buy American and get outstanding products at the same price or at a minimal increase...

Beschreibung"e;It is hard to describe a nightmare adequately, unless you can say how the day had been before the night fell."e; In late 1945, John H. Noble was arrested by Soviet occupation forces on a trumped-up espionage charge. Ten years later, he found himself a prisoner in Vorkuta, part of the Soviet Gulag system. Situated 50 miles above the Arctic Circle, temperatures in Vorkuta drop too low for bacteria to survive. As an American prisoner during the Cold War, Noble's is a harrowing and unique story. Forced to work in the mines, his weight dropped from 150 to 95 pounds as he pushed 2-ton coal cars. He was also a key player in the 1953 Vorkuta Uprising, a peaceful protest violently ended by the Blatnois. Noble was eventually released in 1955, following the intervention of US President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Here, in this extraordinary document, he tells his unbelievable story. This is an unflinching look at the true face of Communism and a gripping account of one man's survival against seemingly impossible odds.

text: Hello everyone, I am new to this forum. I am having some very strange problems with my computer and would appreciate the help! So here is what is happening and what led up to what is happening. So it started when I wanted to upgrade to windows 10. Before attempting the upgrade I went and bought a Western Digital external hard drive so I could back up all of my files. I found out Western Digital has a free version of true image software. So I used that to clone my hard drive, just in case something went terribly wrong. I also planned on clean installing windows 10, which is why I did this. I also needed to find my product key for microsoft office, so I downloaded a program that would help me get my key for that. Others said that it was safe, so I went for it. It worked great! I got my product keys. I used Belarc Advisor. I suspect this could have had a virus. So after doing both of these I tried to upgrade to windows 10. It was going okay, it was downloading, it started the update then it gave me the error message "Windows Installer Service could not be accessed...". I tried multiple times with the same issue. So I figured I would just stick with windows 7. it works good for me. Now I am having issues with several different applications opening. AMD Gaming evolved won't open, AMD Catalyst Control Center won't open, HP Support Assistant won't open, Windows Update sometimes works, Steam Will not open, Heroes of the Storm will not run, and certain parts of the control panel cause the error "Windows Explorer has stopped working". I have run Malwarebytes, Microsoft security essentials, and attempted to run windows defender, but it would not open. They all came back with no viruses found. I ran sfc/scannow, which did find currupt files that could not be fixed. I have run in safe boot all the problems I encountered were no longer an issue, except for HP support assistant. (I didn't test the games) I really don't know where to go from here. I am tempted to use HP Recovery Manager and restore to factory default. Before I do that, if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! I am running Windows 7 Home.

Shashi, I think I am planning or intended to do the same thing as implemented in LSI methodology. It seems from your meesage, you or somebody might have used the LSI approach in lucene. So can you share some of your work. I am more interested to know any library or package or paper used for analyzing terms semantically and constrcuting vector space. - RB ----- Original Message ---- From: Shashi Kant <email@example.com> To: firstname.lastname@example.com Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 3:20:16 PM Subject: Re: Similarity I suspect what you are looking for is "Latent Semantics" - it can algorithmically infer that "iPod~iPhone" or "Apple~Steve Jobs". Google for "Latent Semantic Indexing" or "Latent Semantic Analysis" - you can apply some of those approaches using the TermVectors in Lucene index. Ontologies such as WordNet are very generic, hence if you have a domain specific corpus, you would need to generate some kind of Latent Semantic Index to extract the relations therein.

An energy union should facilitate transporting energy between member states and make Europe less dependent on fossil fuels, most of which are now imported. The plans announced by the European Commission in February 2015 could result in reduced energy bills, less pollution and better resilience to supply disruptions. In the coming years, MEPs are set to discuss and vote on concrete proposals to make this a reality. (Read more: Europe charged up for energy union)
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy sources, as well as ensuring the security of our electricity supply are high on Parliament's agenda. A number of initiatives are already in place while a wind farm in Asse, Belgium, is just one of the examples of the progress made in this area. Watch the video to find out more and read on to learn what the EU's energy priorities will be in the coming months and years. (Read more: Priorities for Europe: affordable, secure and clean energy)
The EU's emissions trading scheme (ETS) was set up to reduce gas emissions and fight climate change, but it is not working as efficiently as it could be. MEPs discuss on 7 July an informal deal with member states to reform the scheme and will then vote on it the following day. The legislation would tackle the imbalances of supply and demand of emission allowances, which is holding back investment in green technologies. Read on to find out what the reform is all about. (Read more: ETS reform: everything you need to know in a nutshell)
The EU is at constant risk of energy supply disruption. Too much energy is wasted and 10% of households in the Union cannot afford proper heating, the Commission vice-president for energy union told Parliament's energy and environment committees this week. Maroš Šefčovič was presenting his vision for an energy union to tackle these and other challenges, and also listened to the priorities and concerns of MEPs. An inter-parliamentary seminar on energy security will be held in Turkey next month. (Read more: United by energy concerns)
A new, tougher, A to G scale showing the energy efficiency of household appliances should be introduced, to keep pace with technological progress, said MEPs voting on an EU Commission proposal on Wednesday. Most appliances on the market now meet the "class A" requirements first set in 2010, so ever more pluses (A+, A++, A+++) are being added, note MEPs, who argue that setting tougher requirements will create incentives to improve energy efficiency still further. (Read more: Energy efficiency of home appliances: MEPs call for more ambitious A to G scale )
Energy issues have dominated the EU's political agenda for a long time. When Jean-Claude Juncker took over as president of the European Commission, one of his priorities was creating an energy union. Today this union will be debated with Commission Vice President Maroš Šefčovič. Ahead of the debate we spoke to former EP President Jerzy Buzek, a Polish member of the EPP group who is now the chair of the EP's energy committee. about the energy union and the role Parliament should play. (Read more: Buzek: "Energy union can help to boost economic growth and jobs")
Securing energy supplies at affordable prices, improving energy efficiency and reducing harmful emissions will be high on the agenda of the European Parliament for the coming months and years. These issues will also be discussed at the Council summit in Ypres and Brussels on 26-27 June during a week dedicated to sustainable energy and marked by hundreds of events throughout Europe. (Read more: Powering up: the energy challenges facing Europe)
The EU imports more than half of the energy it consumes and that can make it vulnerable to external energy suppliers such as Russia. To improve the situation, the European Commission presented the Energy Union plan to reduce this dependence, as well as to create a single European energy market. Read on to find out the key facts and figures about the EU's energy imports and how it varies from country to country. (Read more: The EU's energy dependence: facts and figures)

Appartamento molto ben situato vicino alla metropolitana in uno dei quartieri più belli di Berlino. Pulire tranquillo e confortevole. Il cortile è il luogo sicuro per le biciclette, il modo migliore per viaggiare a Berlino.
Appartement très bien situé à côté du métro dans l'un des quartiers les plus agréables de Berlin. Propre calme et confortable. La cour offre un emplacement sécurisé pour les vélos, le meilleur moyen de déplacement à Berlin.
Nice appartement in a very good location, mitten in Mitte ! Loads of restaurants, sites and bars in the neighboorhood. The metro is oppositie to the building. There is relatively little noise disturbance from the surroundings. We slept very welk. Check in andere Check Out were very relaxed, the owner can be reached personaly. We had a great time !
The apartment was well located and was an easy walk to the places I wanted to go. I was met on time and the checkout, although early in the morning went smoothly. Unfortunately I didn't find the iron and ironing board until my last day, but other than that the apartment was comfortable and very liveable.
Having stayed in the Sophien Straße during an earlier stay, we knew thatvtge location was perfect. The apartment was well equipped and the balcony was an extra bonus. Access/Key turnover has to be improved, as we waited a bit too long! Departure worked well, as the young cleaning woman showed up exactly as scheduled.
Very accesible public transportation to touristic areas in Berlin and from & to the airport, just two blocks from Schönhauser Allee station. Everything in the apartment was OK, as shown in the information, and appliances working correctly. The area is very quiet, with shops, restaurants and supermarkets around. The reception by Mrs. Serpil Burnukara was excellent, as the checkout. The apartment has a lot of natural light and a small but nice terrace.
Me and my Family had a very pleasent stay, in this apartment. The location was perfect and the surroundings were nice. The facilities were perfect also, the host and staff who helped us with check-in and out were very sweet. I would
definitely, come back here. The only negative things would be the beds, that was very hard to sleep, and I couldn't really sleep properly. And also the internet was really bad. The connection would drop on and of all the time. But i generel it was a really nice Apartment.
A very light apartment with everything you need. Quiet, a place where you will find rest. Just one block away and you have the business of the city, nice restaurants and coffee bars and the U and S close to other parts of Berlin.
A very nice apartment. Very central, but in a quiet area. The flat has everything you need, including good beds.
A nice appartment for 4 in one of the best areas in Berlin! We had a perfect pre Christmas time. Shopping, Chritmas markets, food, beer and Glühwein.
Lovely appartment in quiet area just next to Hackescher Markt and Museumsinsel. We loved to stay there!
