Finished reading A Short History of Tractors in the Ukraine, which I found at once riotous and disturbing. Wonderful, witty writing! I am gong to start Stay Awake by Dan Chaon as an Early Reviewer selection, and continue listening to the story of those naughty Greek gods and their meddling in humans' lives, The Infinities.
Thanks for starting the thread, Hemlok!
I'm still reading 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami and Silence by Shusaku Endo. It is a very Japanese sort of week around here.
Thanks Hemlok for starting the thread. I am still reading The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton. I am enjoying it.
Finished Property by Valerie Martin yesterday..for the Orange January/July group..
Posted a review, today, of Ashes to Dust by Yrsa Sigurdardottir......ScandiCrime with smarts....:
Thanks for starting the thread, hemlokgang!
Still reading Hammerfall: it's not slow going because it's not good, it's because I've been so busy during the day that I've been falling asleep before I can pick it up!
Three day weekend: hope to get it finished. :)
I'm about 25% into Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese. Parts of it I can't tear myself away from, and other parts are kind of dry. Hopefully it just keeps getting better from here!
Thank you, hemlockgang, for starting this week's thread and giving us so much information on the authors. I love it. Pictures are nice, but information is more lasting for me.
Finished Train Go Sorry last night, which I thought was an excellent introduction to the world of the deaf. Definitely recommended.
Still reading 1Q84 which I've been having trouble getting into. Part of it is the construction of the book changing character every chapter. I'd much prefer several chapters on one character and then several on another. It's too choppy for me the way it is. I'm finally, I think, beginning to get interested in them, though, so hopefully it will be better from here on out.
I'm also going to return to reading Great Expectations, which I started in late November. I quickly read a third of the book, totally immersed, and then realized that I'd finish it a month before the book club and probably remember little of it for discussion. So I stopped. I'll pick it up again this weekend in order to have it finished by Monday the 23rd.
Picked up from the library today Lost in Shangri-La, which will become my travel book on the train and I'll probably begin it on Tuesday unless I'm driven to start it sooner. I've been on a real non-fiction-reading jag for the last 18 months, so that's certainly possible.
Today I'm reading Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron and finishing up the audiobook of The End of Everything by Megan Abbott. When I finish The End of Everything I'll be starting the audiobook of Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?.
I am reading The Blade Itself for the beginning of this week.
Yes, thanks Hemlock! Been meaning to read Tractors in the Ukraine. Glad to know you enjoyed it so much!
I've got a number of books going: 11-22-63 (exceptionally good); The Hangman's Daughter; All Roads Lead to Murder; The Last Werewolf (audiobook). I'm also toying with the idea of rereading Jonathan Strange in conjunction with the tutored read thread over at the 75-Book Challenge Group. Ya think that'll be enough books to keep me busy this week?
Picked up The Fault in Our Stars by John Green yesterday & am almost done with it. I am really enjoying it. I had never heard of him before.
I'm reading Jamrach's Menagerie for Orange January.
Started To say nothing of the dog this afternoon.
I am reading A Free Man of Color by Barbara Hambly and Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah, but I have set both aside for the 2nd volume of Sweet Tooth a graphic novel series by Jeff Lemire that I picked up at the library this morning.
Yesterday I finished up two books: Payment Deferred, by C.S. Forester, and New York, by Edward Rutherfurd. Today, after a long day of snowshoeing, I think I'll curl up with a cup of tea and Spy Catcher, which is still in progress.
I'm still reading The Zombie Survival Guide. I'd probably have it finished but the NFL playoffs are on so, ummmmm, maybe tomorrow. Maybe.
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand was terrific, worthy of the accolades it's received. An amazing true story of WWII.
I'm now reading The Picture of Dorian Gray (which so far seems wonderful) after finishing the very enjoyable Mengele Zoo.
I finished and REVIEWED Stacy Schiff's terrific bio Cleopatra: A Life.
Now I'm reading The Observations by Jane Harris which is my third Orange January book.
I'm reading The Charterhouse of Parma by Stendahl which I'm enjoying immensely.
Finished A Spell of Winter by Helen Dunmore last night. Now reading Betrayal by Michelle Kallio. Not far into it, but it already has my interest.
#4 Mom248: I loved The Forgotten Garden and I'm a big fan of Kate Morton's. The House at Riverton was my first and probably my favorite of the two. I am looking forward to The Distant Hours, which I haven't gotten yet.
I finished Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption today which was really well done and a great read.
I'm listening to A Red Herring Without Mustard, which is a Flavia de Luce mystery. I'm going to start Joy for Beginners as it's due to the library soon.
Finished Neverwhere - just when I thought I had the plot figured out it twisted away from me in an unexpected direction. Now I've started 365 Thank Yous by John Kralik - it's okay and a quick non-fiction break while I wait for my Book Club book to arrive (The Bronze Horseman).
I'm also listening to 1493 - I love the subject, but I wish to god the author would be more concise. Does he really need to say "four score and ten years ago" rather than just the number?? Sheesh.
So far this week, I'm only reading one book, The Walking People by Mary Beth Keane. I'm enjoying it.
I've been very much drawn into I'm Not Stiller by Max Frisch.
I started Swamplandia last night. I did not get very far but as the temps are not suppose to get out of the single numbers here today a day reading is a possible thing! =:)
Early this morning I finished reading The Knox Brothers - Penelope Fitzgerald's remarkable book about the lives of her father and uncles. I lingered over this book, re-reading, copying out favorite passages, doing a bit of research. I finally realized I was avoiding the end -- the deaths of these extraordinary men. I didn't want them to go. Reading the last pages was very difficult -- I will miss them for awhile, especially Wilfred Knox -- riding his bicycle or working in his garden, his priestly garments as plain as could be, his steadfastness a source of strength for so many. I will also miss the stories of Dilly's work as a cryptologist. I enjoyed reading of Edmund's puns, and about his work as editor of Punch, and of Ronnie's determination to translate the Bible. I will miss all those other people who were part of their lives. And then there's the author herself -- her tender and evocative prose.
This morning I found this review from 2000:
Still combining The Magic of Reality and Pure.
#4/23 Kate Morton is fast becoming the queen of the modern gothic. I took The Distant Hours on holiday last year and enjoyed it hugely. Hope you do too!
Thanks for starting us out hemlokgang!! I've been behind over here but I'm nearly finished with the Invisible Bridge. It's been very good, sweeping historical fiction. I finished Lost in shangri-La, which was a terrific true-adventure tale. I just started The Warmth of Other Suns and it begins wonderfully. Narrative nonfiction at it's best.
Just back from the BWI (Anguilla mostly) and am suffering from severe cultural, temperature and visercal culture shock upon return to Chicago. Alas, had a spectacular, life-changing time, and of course, it included reading! The house we stayed at had some interesting finds in the library. But I had the Nook loaded and a paperback too. I read:
1. Finished up Ten Thousand Saints by Eleanor Henderson - this one started so incredibly well, then sort of lost its swagger near the end, plumetting into the goofy, and just like she did not know how to end it, or something. Had a lot of high points, some interesting (not oft written about) subject matter and some of the most idiotic parents to grace the pages of modern literature.
2. Sea of Poppies by Amitav Ghosh - okay, little disappointed in this one. It felt a bit dry and plodding, despite its subject matter. I was patently aware that this novel was a "setting things up" kinda thing for the novels that will follow. The language was somewhat interesting, but maybe a little too much. Could have used a lot of editing - many, many repeats of certain words, phrases and thoughts. Overall, meh, but I was intested enough to probably pick up the recently released book two (cannot recall the name).
3. The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante - loved this one! Found it on the shelves and read it in a day. It is a very uneasy story about a woman trying to keep herself together after her husband announces he is leaving her after 15 or so years of marriage, two kids, dog, etc. I know this subject has been done to death, but this was crazy good. She really faced the insanity head on. Not easy emotional reading. NOT chick lit, despite how it probably sounds. Another gem from Europa Editions (translated from the Italian).
Now reading The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach and loving it. It too could benefit from a bit of editing, but I got sucked in and it made a couple of long-ish flights fly by. Just love it (about 3/4 done).
Finished the first story in Alan Bennett's Smut which means I'm exactly halfway. Not his best ... we'll see how the next one is.
BBleil, I have House at Riverton in the wings waiting to be read. I am enjoying Kate Morton's writing.
Reviewed Pure by Juliana Baggott here:
I've finished and posted a review for The Zombie Survival Guide! Now I'm onto a fictional zombie novel in the form of Day by Day Armageddon: Beyond Exile.
Yippee! I finished Hammerfall and can now continue with my 75 book challenge for 2012!
I just finished Stardust by Neil Gaiman and read it in about 2 days. My first book of his and definitely will not be my last! :)
I am now about 1/4 into The Night Circus and am having a hard time putting this book down. Based on this I would say that it is the best/most interesting book that I will read in January.
I am still with Doc by Mary Doria Russell, and loving it, I love the way that this author paints her characters and situations. I am trying to obtain Doc on CD audio for my husband, I know that he would also be captured by it.
I am also dipping into The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold, it is a little disturbing, as was her Lovely Bones.
I acquired a copy only yesterday of Looking for Mr. Goodbar by Judith Rossner, my research shows wonderful reviews, plus it is a slimish novel.!!! This will be next.
Finished the dark, despairing collection of short stories by Dan Chaon, Stay Awake. Compelling writing make this collection readable, but beware...it is truly dark and despairing! I am moving on to Two Spanish Picaresque Novels by Francisco de Quevedo.
Thanks for all your research, Hemlok. I'm almost through Factory Girls on CD, it does not make me in any way want to live in China, but it does seem that the option of factory work has made life better, more egalitarian, for Chinese women. I'm about half way through Dreams of Joy. It's interesting, though simplistic, the way Lisa See uses Chinese horoscope characters to define her characters - the typical Dragon, Sheep, Tiger and Rabbit. However, with these simplified characters she's able to introduce the reader into bits of Chinese history that we might not otherwise have discovered. Then, in between little league baseball games today, on my Nook I started The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making by Catherynne M. Valente. What a fantastic and entertaining mind Catherynne Valente is able to share with us.
hemlokgang- I also landed an ER of Stay Awake. I'm glad you liked it. It looks like a fast read, maybe I can squeeze it in soon.
Finished Blood and Thunder by Hampton Sides. Well written and well researched, if a bit less than objective.
Started James R. Benn's Billy Boyle. Writing is subpar and I'll have to see how the mystery plays out, but not living up to the hype so far.
I'm reading The Summer House by Alice Thomas Ellis. This is actually a trilogy of three novellas. I'm also reading another book by the same author, with photographs by Patrick Sutherland, A Welsh Childhood.
Newbie here. I just found this site this week when I did some web research on how to organize and catalog my huge collection of (mostly unread) books. Looks like this site is just what the doctor ordered. I'm hope I'm doing this right. I'll see. I'm trying to keep my active reading list down to 4 books at a time (with some exceptions).
Just finished: One Small Step Can Change Your Life: The Kaizen Way by Robert Maurer for the second time.
Now Reading:
Don't Think of an Elephant: Know Your Values and Frame the Debate by George Lakoff. Great read so far.
The Essentials of Hinduism: A Comprehensive Review of the World's Oldest Religion by Swami Bhaskarananda.
Ageless Memory: The Memory Expert's Prescription for a Razor-Sharp Mind by Harry Lorayne. I wanted an ebook reference of Harry Lorayne's techniques after spending a couple hours looking for my paper copy of The Memory Book. Mr Lorayne has made a lot of money off of me over the decades. (And, yes, I DO forget some of his techniques sometimes.)
Time Warrior: How to Defeat Procrastination, People-Pleasing, Self-Doubt, Over-Commitment, Broken Promises and Chaos by Steve Chandler
I have some other titles started, but they have been on hold for a while. I will list them when I pick them up again.
>19 RedBowlingBallRuth: - I loved The Picture of Dorian Gray. Made a very interesting read.
Last night, I finished The Night Strangers -- good, scary read. This morning, I started A Train in Winter by Caroline Moorehead. Should be very good.
Finished the excellent novel, The Infinities. I will begin listening to The Road Home by Rose Tremain.
I started The Beet Queen by Lousie Erdrich and am enjoying it so far
(44) BruiserTom, welcome.
The danger of this place is that you will be tempted to add to your TBR ("to be read") collection by all the recommendations you will receive.
Too many books, too little time....
Oh, I was going to start Forge of Heaven or Middlemarch, but I recently purchased a copy of Finity's End, and decided to reread it before either of those others.
The danger, fuzzi....the joy.....life on the literary edge!
I've finished and reviewed Stephen King's Under the Dome in my thread...post #249.
Finished and really enjoyed The Abbey by Chris Culver. It's a great little murder mystery; the main detective is Muslim.I particularly enjoyed that aspect, Altho it wasn't mentioned much. Maybe that's why I enjoyed it - it was just part of his experience in the cop world. I like mysteries from different cultures and geographical locations, just a way to spend a little enjoyable time somewhere else and maybe learn something.
Almost through my ER copy of Beyond Religion ethics for a whole world also a great read.
Also read Havana Twist, another mystery by Lia Matera.I've read all her books but somehow missed this one. Fun being in Cuba for awhile, Altho I had a difficult time following the plot.
Reading Brunelleschi's Dome, but I'll probably finish it tonight.
Elsewhere, I'm slogging through an Early Review (The Rise of the American Circus) and a GRTB! book (Between Silk and Cyanide). Both have their foibles, Circus is dense and Silk is written as though you're supposed to know what's going on right off the bat. The cryptography bits are fun, though.
Still working on Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy but getting close to the end. I really like this book and feel like reading the other two in the Karla series will be on my list for this year. Of course, I also have to finish the Len Deighton trilogy, which are also great spy novels. Not as nail biting as TTSS, but very good descriptions of the way spy work is really done.
Also close to the end of Tenth Muse by Judith Jones. This one is a memoir of the Knopf editor who edited many of the great cookbooks published in the last forty years. It has been a quick and interesting read - if you like reading about food and cooking. I am listening to Oh the Glory of It All in my car. This too is a memoir of a San Francisco society person. I am not sure yet how his family fits into San Francisco society, but as I get into it farther it should make more sense. I am really not into reading these "tell all" memoirs as I generally find them self-pitying in tone, but my book discussion group is doing memoirs for our next discussion so thought I would branch out and try some that I would not ordinarily read. Trust me - this last memoir is far afield of what I usually read.
53: Glad you're enjoying TTSS and that the other two Karla books may be in the stars for you soon! I just borrowed Smiley's People from the library and expect to start it sometime this week.
@52: That's good to know about Between Silk and Cyanide!
Today I started Destination Unknown, by Agatha Christie. Pretty interesting so far; it's one of her stand-alones. At home I am also working on Networking for People Who Hate Networking, which is all right but I preferred the tone of The Introvert Advantage.
Finally finished Tailchaser's Song by Tad Williams and I've started The Keeper of Lost Causes by Jussi Adler-Olsen.
I'm about to start Latitudes of Melt and looking forward to it.
#7 - I had the same experience when I read Cutting for Stone. Loved certain parts and wasn't crazy about others. But I must say that by the time it was done, I was very happy to have read it. I really liked the ending and finished it with a good satisfied feeling.
Finished Billy Boyle. Benn never found a cliche he didn't use. Not sure what to start next. Nonfiction though.
Read and reviewed Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, my second Shakespeare of the year. Enjoying Shakespeare's comedies!
My review is here,
# 8 Glad you are enjoying Great Expectations. I liked it too.
# 53 & 54 Love the Karla Trilogy! In my opinion Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is the best followed by Smiley's People. The Honourable Schoolboy I didn't like that much.
Finished Pure moved on to Julia Pastrana: the Tragic Story of the Victorian Ape Woman.
#46 ..Rose Tremain is one of my favourite writers, have you read Music and Silence ? .
I finished The Art of Fielding last night and while I liked it for the most part, authors should take "endings" class. This one was just goofy and not plausible. Ah well. Kind of an odd book, hard to resonate with the characters and some of how they looked at life and talked, but overall, I felt it was a really good first novel! I'd read his next one, for sure.
Now picking back up Annabel which I had started a couple months ago, then had to put down for class reading. So far, it's great.
I finished The Cardboard Valise by Ben Katchor, which was bizarre and funny, and started Anne Fadiman's Ex Libris: A Common Reader.
Read Damage by John Lescroart over the weekend. I always enjoy visiting with his recurring characters.
I'm reading The Winter Palace by Eva Stachniak in print and Changeless by Gail Carriger on my Nook.
I've started a meme. It's called "Congratulations! You've won the Lottery! Now..."
...which book, of all the books you've read, are you going to make, or re-make, into a movie, a TV movie, a miniseries, or a TV series? Why? Who's your dream cast, in as much detail as you care to give?
We've all seen crummy adaptations of books into movies or TV shows. Some of us have even seen good ones. But who hasn't thought "Wow! THIS book would be a great film!" only then never to see it come on screen (large or small). Who hasn't thought "Oh dear GAWD that book was waaay better than this bilge, someone should do it right!"
Okay. You're up. Tell us how you'd like to see it done! I put a thread for it up over here.
hazeljune> I will add Music and Silence to my wishlist!
I finished The Blade Itself and will start Old Man's War next.
Finished Brunelleschi's Dome -- now moving on to The Triggering Town, a delightful treatise on how to write poetry.
Circus and Silk still sidelined for now...
Last night I finished The Sense of an Ending. Loved it. Kind of a cross between The Graduate and Catcher in the Rye, though I cannot really explain why. I just started Ender's Game for my book club. I've been putting it off because I'm not real crazy about sci-fi and I wasn't in on the decision to read it, but it's looking pretty good in the first few chapters.
(71) I had a hard time putting down Ender's Game...it's the type of book that requires a few late nights in order to find out what's going to happen next!!!!
Very good book, imo.
#60 Porua - Great Expectations is a re-read for me, but I haven't read it in more than 40 years and had forgotten so much of it, including how funny it can be. I know that if I were forced to read it serialized, as Dickens originally offered it, I'd be standing on the street corner every installment screaming like a banshee at the poor paperboy for not putting it in my hands fast enough.
I'm halfway between The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. I got reminded that I wanted to read it after seeing the movie again on tv a few weeks ago.
#37, I loved The Night Circus when I read it last month. It inspired me to write my first Amazon review. So amazing!
I'm reading The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. I am about a quarter way in, and so far am finding it very interesting. It's one of my SantaThing books.
I've posted my review of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern in my thread... post #97.
I finished and REVIEWED Jane Harris's bawdy Gothic mystery The Observations. If you liked Fingersmith or Rebecca or The Crimson Petal and the White this is the book for you.
I'm on to Old Filth by Jane Gardam.
# 73 "...I'd be standing on the street corner every installment screaming like a banshee at the poor paperboy for not putting it in my hands fast enough."
(71) emaestra:
I read Ender's Game a long time ago. Loved it. Also Speaker for the Dead. Just a couple of the very few science fiction books I've read over the last couple of decades. I'm afraid that over the years I've neglected fiction way too much.
(74) framboise: Adding The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to my TBR list. I also keep forgetting.
# 77 I just loved Old Filth a must is the companion novel The Man in the Wooden Hat, it picks up the main characters once more and is a real delight to read.
Couldn't sleep last night so finished Julia Pastrana, sped through Woof!; the Tale Wags on, then fell back on another Tess Gerritsen, Bloodstream - her books are so perfect for when I'm not quite in the mood for something heavy.
Finished The Triggering Town--if you're a writer and haven't read it, I strongly suggest doing so. It is invaluable.
Next up is Cod by Mark Kurlansky. It's already reading very fast -- I may finish it in a day or two.
Between Silk and Cyanide is getting better, if you muscle through the first 80 or so pages, it gets much easier to parse Leo Marks's oblique British style. There's probably a reason he only wrote one book.
The Rise of the American Circus is still giving me trouble -- it may take a month to push through that one. Reading this one is like hacking your way through the Amazon with a rusty pocket knife.
#76 I loved your review because it was exactly the way I felt about it when I finished (though I had to buy my own copy--which I went out to do at 8:30 p.m. to B&N immediately after finishing the library copy I'd inhaled).
I am now reading Cheyenne Autumn by Mari Sandoz, a very moving story about the wrongs that were done to this proud nation and how they trekked over fifteen hundred miles to return to their homeland.
Complete works of H.P Lovecraft courtesy of a lovely lady who formatted the whole lot for Kindle. I'm a happy little byakhee.
Started Ferrol Sams' Run with the horsemen this afternoon. So far I like it.
I've started Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys. Excellent, so far!
I'm reading The Devil Amongst the Lawyers by Sharyn Mccrumb. So far so good.
>85 whymaggiemay: Why thank you, whymaggiemay! I know how often a hyped book has let me down, and I've felt the need to vent my ire. This book merited every scrap of hype given it, IMHO, so I itched and worried over the fact that I wanted/didn't want to tell people to trust the hype machine THIS time.
I'm really happy you felt the magic, too. It's always good to get the word out.
#91 What a review!!!!!! Very well done. If I hadn't read the book I would be hotfooting it to my nearest library to get on the list to get it.
I finished reading Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy tonight and was very impressed by this book. I found it very cerebral in the beginning, the middle, and the end. In some ways this could be one of the first forensic accounting books out there. The only drawbacks to reading this book is that now I have two more books to add to my TBR pile (the sequels) and that I will have to go see the movie just to try to figure out how it could be reduced to two hours and still make sense.
Now I will be reading Left Hand of Darkness for my book discussion group. This is another of those I-don't-know-how-I-missed-this books. I will be hard at work reading it while also reading Clash of Kings.
Finished Two Spanish Picaresque Novels by Francisco de Quevedo. An interesting bit of literary history about the origins of the rascally "picaro" character who lives by his wits...outwitting all around him. Moving on to Lieutenant Nun: Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World by Catalina de Erauso.
Fun quote: "Dear Reader, may God protect you from bad books, police, and nagging, moon-faced, fair-haired women."
I finished and reviewed Dreams of Joy which is a gentle introduction to the history of China during the Great Leap Forward and the excellent Factory Girls: From Village to City in a Changing China which is a study of young factory workers in today's China. I can't wait to read more by Leslie T. Chang. Next up, I want to finish a book I began earlier in the month Zheng He about the 14th century Chinese admiral.
I finished Old Man's War and since my dear neighbours received my Amazon package so I didn't have to wait anymore, I immediately started the beautiful looking Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children...
I had just finished reading the memoir We Bought a Zoo by author and real zoo owner Benjamin Mee.
I'm reading A Hope in the Unseen by Ron Suskind for my RL book group next week. It's about a boy named Cedric Jennings who made it out of the ghetto and into the Ivy League. Apparently Suskind won a Pulitzer for the series of articles he wrote about this and then turned them into a book. The book may be inspirational, but the writing style is leaving me cold.
Blazed through Cod yesterday -- moving on to Questioning the Millennium. It's my first Stephen Jay Gould book, and already he sounds like a blowhard. Luckily it's short...
#76 and 85 - I completely agree! I finished the book last night and had to purchase my own copy! :)
I am so sick with flu/virus, so good excuse to sit in front of the fireplace and read. I am well into Annabel by Kathleen Winter and wow, this one is really special. She is a beautiful but spare writer ~ many passages that have taken my breath away. I kind of felt this topic (transgender child) had been "done before" but she makes this a very original story, tender, but real and thoughtful. Already, it makes me question so much of what I "thought" about gender, roles, etc., by just showing this one child's life.
I am also reading Wheat Belly on recommendation of a friend. It is good, not much I didn't already know, but how bad it is re: manufacture, etc.
Sorry you're feeling lousy, Carolyn. Hope the reading helps distract you from it.
Ex Libris: Confessions of a Common Reader by Anne Fadiman was wonderful, and a natural for booklovers (e.g. LTers). These are beautifully written essays on personal libraries, penchants for constant proof-reading (including in restaurants and stores), the joy of long words, idiosyncrasies of book collecting, and much more.
I'm just about to start reading The Mousetrap and Other Plays by Agatha Christie-I'm really excited to read it because many of her plays varied from her amazing novels, and I'm really curious to see if any of the endings changed.
I'm also about to start Number the Stars-one of the fourth graders I work with in after school heard I hadn't read it yet, and really wanted to, and brought me a copy to borrow.
I started No Country for Old Men by Cormac McCarthy las night.
Finished the interesting Lieutenant Nun: Memoir of a Basque Transvestite in the New World and am looking forward to moving on to The Return of the Soldier by Rebecca West. I continue listening to The Road Home by Rose Tremain.
I just started The Night Circus. I wasn't too sure about the first few pages, but I'm starting to get into it now.
I've been gone for a while during which time my life was not my own and it's just so nice to be able to read for pleasure again.
Just finished The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe and am now going to start Ms Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.
(107) framboise, what did you think of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe?
I finished Zheng He, a beautiful National Geographic book by Michael Yamashita that has a history of the 15th Century Chinese admiral (and eunuch) who sailed and traded in goods 7 times from China in gigantic wooden junks with a crew composed of 27,000 sailors, doctors, farmers, pharmacologists. He went all the way to Vietnam, Korea, Saudi Arabia and the eastern coast of Africa and died returning on his 7th voyage. After this voyage the new emperor decreed that ships could no longer be made from wood (his predecessor had planted the trees specifically for his flotilla), dry docked the boats and pulled the people back inside the Great Wall, not to re emerge for hundreds of years. Yamashita has dozens of beautiful photographs of the places visited by Zheng He with a description of the early migration of Chinese to these far flung lands and the influences shared among them. He even brought a giraffe back from Africa to present to his emperor, Zhu Di and is honored as a god of prosperity, Sam Po Kung, in Southeast Asia. Next up is The Chinese in America by Iris Chang because I don't have the guts to read The Rape of Nanking.
I've also started listening to and audiobook of Out of Mao's Shadow: The Struggle for the Soul of a New China by Philip P. Pan.
Reading Eclipse by stephenie meyer
Have read the followingthe last couple of weeks;
Dorsai! by Gordon R. Dickson (3 Stars) Military. Sci Fi
Donal Graeme is a professional mercenary. From a long line of professional mercenaries. Who are a part of a race of professional mercenaries. He's not the strongest, tallest or smartest he just has a different way at looking at and solving military problems. This gift or strangeness in him wins him fast promotion and fame.
HMS Saracen by Douglas Reeman (3 Stars)
In 1915 Midshipman Rchard Chesnaye reports aboard the HMS Saracen, a new type of war ship called a monitor, it's shallow draft and large guns are designed to provide close support for troops during the Gallipoli Campaign. His experiences scar him for life and serve him well when he is called back to service in 1941 to be Saracen's Captain.
I only stared reading Reeman's modern naval books recently and find them enjoyable. Have read (and enjoyed) most of his Age of Sail books about the life Richard Bolitho that he wrote under the name Alexander Kent
Over The Top by Arthur Guy Empey (4 Stars WW!)
Arthur Guy Empey went to England and enlisted in the British army after the sinking of RMS Lusitania in 1915. As the U.S. was technically neutral at the time, this was against U.S. and English law (he was turned down at least once that he writes about).
He fought on the western front until he was wounded in the Battle of the Somme and medically discharged in 1916.
Upon his return to the U.S. he wrote Over the top to tell of his experiences and what life was like in the trenches. Each chapter covers different part of an infantry man's life from enlistment to battle. How they lived, fought, entertained themselves and endured life in the trenches.
Overall the book is an easy read and full of insights of the life and plights of the WW1 soldier. A little simplistic and light hearted by todays standards, it still does a good job of telling of the horrors of trench warfare.
Currently reading,
Send Down A Dove by Charles MacHardy (WW2 British submarine)
I've been saving The Night Circus for when my back gives out again and I know I'll have a few inactive days to really settle and enjoy it. The time has come and I can't wait to see what all the fuss is about.
#97 Erick, the 'zoo' in question is a few miles away from my home. Before the current owners took over it was the subject of a lot of controversy (I can't say any more, I don't want to be sued) but it's now building a great reputation if you like that kind of thing and it's good to see both the book and the film doing so well. More power to Ben and his family!
I almost finished Finity's End last night, but fell asleep near the end (it's not boring, I'm just that tired!!!).
I could not finish Swamplandia! - I had such high expectations for this book, but really was not enjoying it at all. Just started Wish You Well by David Baldacci on my i-phone. Love it so far!
The Host from Stephenie Meyer ...
Just started The Peach Keeper. So great to be back inside one of Sarah Addison Allen's books!
I finished Silence by Shusaku Endo, which was wonderful. I'm following it up with my book group's selection for the month, Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk, which I hate. Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Everything about this book is just horrible and ugly and total, total shit. If I didn't have to discuss it next week, I'd stop reading it, throw it across the room, and then set it on fire, and then throw it out in the snow, and then run it over with my car.
Actually, it is a library book, so no I wouldn't, but I'd do it in spirit.
#117 ~ I remember trying to read Invisible Monsters and had the same reaction. I was stunned that anyone, anywhere cared enough about those human beings (sorta) to read that entire book. I dunno, just not my cup of tea either, so I get your pain. I did not finish that book.
I'm still reading Betrayal by Michele Kallio. Should be finished tonight and then not sure what's next. I'm falling behind in both my challenges at the moment!
I've reviewed my latest book circle book, The Gods Will Have Blood, in my thread...post #3.
I've also reviewed a long, drawn-out read, a book that's mostly forgotten now, called Tristan and Isolde, Restoring Palamede in post #4. I can honestly say it was so good I went extra-slowly to savor it.
Continuing to read Double Cross by Malorie Blackman and just started to read The tenth circle by Jodi Picoult - I just love her work!
I just read a little picture book, biography Shining Star: The Anna May Wong Story by Paula Yoo and illustrated by Lin Wang. I'd never heard of Anna May Wong before reading Shanghai Girls. She was the most famous Chinese actress of her day. I got a couple of her films from the library, Piccadilly and Portrait in Black and plan to watch them this weekend. I'm just through the introduction on Iris Chang's The Chinese in America, and it looks like it's going to be insightful and interesting.
I am reading Doc by Mary Doria Russell and King Peggy: An American Secretary,Her Royal Destiny, and the Inspiring Story of How She Changed an African Village by Peggieline Bartels.
This second selection is an early readers selection. Both are Excellent!!
I'm just starting Green Mansions by W. H. Hudson, and liking it very much, so far, at only about 20 pages in.
#108 Fuzzi: Hi, I thought it was good, definitely a fast read. I thought the movie was a great adaptation of it and so visually stunning, more descriptive actually than the book was. I am undecided as to whether or not to continue the series. I think I would've liked it more as a child.
I just tore through, trembling and sweating, the amazing John Scalzi novella The God Engines, and the review is in my thread...post #243.
I just finished So Cold the River by Michael Koryta, which a library patron recommended to me, and I thoroughly enjoyed. It wasn't the best or the scariest horror novel I've ever read, but the story was rich, engrossing, and best of all, UNUSUAL...not many horror novels are set in rural Indiana.
Currently making my way through It, which I love, as always, and I'm also in the first 100 pages of a fantastic discovery called The White Devil by Justin Evans. It's gorgeously written, and intriguing as hell...an American student named Andrew is sent to a British boarding school, where he encounters a haunted building and a murder, and the true history of Lord Byron. It's literate, spooky, and fantastically atmospheric.
And once I finish that, I have The Good House by Tananarive Due and The Omen waiting for me.
(125) I thought the BBC production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe from the 1990s was a lot better than the movie that came out a few years ago. Like The Lord of the Rings, I've read the Narnia books so many times that changes made when a movie is made are glaring and upsetting.
I hope you continue to read the Narnia books.

Agni Shridhar challenges Magadheera makers
According to Agni Shridhar, non-Kannada films are the main reason for the failure of the Kannada films. He said, "When our movies are not allowed to be screened in other states, why we should allow the non-Kannada movies to release in our state? It"s really surprising that the Karnataka government has never considered this serious issue as a problem of Kannada film industry."
Shridhar agreed that the immediate release of Telugu movie Magadheera has definitely affected the earnings of many Kannada movies at the Box Office. He said that there is a dire need of improving the quality of the Kannada films. Telugu and Tamil film industries have big market. They have rich technology, which is why they are trying to get hold on our film industry."
After the release of the movie Kallara Santhe, Shridhar is planning to do another movie called Edegarike. He hopes to direct Hat-trick hero Shivaraj Kumar in the movie. "If anyone is ready to invest Rs. 18 cr. on my forthcoming movie, I"ll do a movie, which will be ten times better than movie Magadheera.

Water Quality and Treatment
Water Quality and Treatment
Water Treatment
The City of Nanaimo is blessed with a high quality surface source from the South Fork of the Nanaimo River. In the past, we have been fortunate to meet the regulations using only chlorine injection as treatment.
Until the City's Water Treatment Plant is operational, those in the following risk categories should follow Island Health's bulletin for Preventing Water-Borne Infections For People with Weakened Immune Systems.
Risk Categories:
- HIV infection who have a CD4+ count of less than 100 cells/mm3;
- lymphoma or leukemia (hematological malignancies) who are being actively treated or have been in remission and off treatment for less than 1 year;
- hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients; and
- people born with diseases that severely affect their immune systems.
Evolution of best practices, regulations and consumer expectations led the City to complete its Water Supply Strategic Plan in January 2007. One of the key goals in the Strategic Plan is to: "Provide safe drinking water; meeting and exceeding regulations to ensure clean, healthy water is provided at all times."
A number of factors have combined to move the City towards full-scale water treatment:
- The City completed its Water Supply Strategic Plan and adopted the multi-barrier approach to water quality.
- Two recent boil water advisories due to turbidity (cloudiness) from extreme winter precipitation events occurred.
- The water supply is subject to turbidity events; a condition that is expected to worsen with climate change.
- The single form of treatment is coarse screening followed by chlorine injection, which is considered a single barrier only.
- Vancouver Island Health Authority notified the City that it was implementing a Surface Water Treatment Policy, which the existing water supply does not meet. The Policy requires that surface water sources receive filtration.
- The City is growing, as is the diversity of businesses and light industry that rely on a secure, consistent supply of quality water.
- Future augmentation of supply (new dam and reservoir) is expected to pose a risk to water quality during the stabilization period, in terms of turbidity, nutrients and algae.
In support of a multi-barrier approach, the City is embarking on planning and senior government funding acquisition for a major water treatment plant, using filtration. The treatment plant is envisioned to be a model of sustainable practices, taking into account long term yield of its watershed, given growth and climate change impacts. The recently adopted Official Community Plan also supports these goals, especially with regard to sustainability and the provision of consistently safe drinking water for generations. With these actions, the City is directly supporting the Province's Living Water Smart Plan, and Federal safe water objectives. The water treatment plant is planned to be completed by winter 2016. The total costs are estimated to be $71 Million.
With questions, please call Bill Sims at 250-756-5302.
Water Quality Testing
The City of Nanaimo is fortunate to have a high quality surface water supply. The water collected from rain and snow at the headwaters of the Nanaimo River produce a high quality and good tasting product.
Over the years the water quality testing program has continually been modified to keep up with current regulations and with outside laboratories abilities to test the water to the lowest levels for micro biological and chemical contamination.
The water is tested at the source and throughout the distribution system on a regular basis. The water sampling points were selected to cover all of the systems zones and where the most likely water problems would occur.
The program includes daily tests for coliforms, monthly tests for total organics, disinfection by products, cryptosporidium and giardia lamblia, hetrotrophic plate counts, and semi annual full spectrum analysis of the water from the watershed.
The results found in the attached tables represent actual results from water quality testing.
- 2015 Water Quality Report
- 2014 Water Quality Report
- 2013 Water Quality Report
- 2012 Water Quality Report
- Previous Water Quality Reports can be found on the Historic Publications page
NOTE: Actual water quality may vary as a result of weather changes in the watershed, or as a result of changes to operating procedures during maintenance to water supply and distribution systems.

Fors is a stud. I've been watching him closely this week and he's been making plays I haven't seen a Pens' winger, not named Neal, make in a long time.
If they don't give it to RNH, or another Canadian because they aren't in the gold medal game, I could see him getting Forward of the tourney if SWE wins.
On a side note, I love how Grigs drives hard to the net from the corner.

DNA Chapter 10
The Code of Life
Pyrimidines and Purines
thymine cytosine adenine guanine
Hydrogen bonds between bases hold the strands together
Each base pairs with a complementary partner
A pairs with T
G pairs with C
DNA is made up of building blocks called nucleotides. A nucleotide consists of a phosphate, a sugar (deoxyribose) and a nitrogen base.
There are two kinds of bases-purines(adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines(cytosine and thymine). Purines have a double ringed structure and pyrimidines have a single ringed structure.
A pairs with T and they join with a double hydrogen bond and C pairs with G and they join with a triple bond. DNA is anti-parallel. Its structure is called a double helix.
The "words" of the DNA "language" are triplets of bases called codons.The codons in a gene specify the amino acid sequence of a polypeptide.
mRNA Editing
Exons-left in
Introns-cut out
Translation (Protein Synthesis)
Where? At a ribosome in the cytoplasm
What? enzymes and energy, mRNA, tRNA, rRNA, amino acids
First a small ribosomal subunit joins mRNA at a start codon-AUG. The appropriate tRNA comes to join the mRNA. Large ribosomal sub unit joins.Another tRNA comes bringing the correct amino acid with it. A peptide bond forms between the amino acids, and the 1st tRNA leaves.
Viruses-DNA or RNA in a protein coat
RNA viruses-retroviruses

It looks like there was more behind the trade that brought Kyle Quincey to Detroit than we first thought. According to Hakan Andersson, the Red Wings' director of European scouting and the man who is largely responsible for bringing guys like Nick Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk to the NHL, Brad Stuart will not be returning to Detroit next season.
"Brad's wife is from the West Coast, and he wants to move back there. We've tried hard [to re-sign Stuart], but in vain."
While Quincey will probably be able to fill Stuart's shoes (skates?) adequately, there's always the possibility that Lidstrom rides off into the sunset after winning his 5th Stanley Cup this June.
If this happens, the Wings could be in some serious trouble on the blue line next season.

Date of Stay: July, 2016
Friendly staff. Beautiful waterfront views if your site is on the waterfront. If not, you are in an overcrowded very tight campsite/no shade. Very little space b/n sites. We didn't have room to put up our usual canopy and our view was a closeup of the back of our neighbors RV and sewer pipes. We are used to more private/shaded sites so this was a challenge for us. But, looking beyond that we had hours of fun finding shells and creatures in the tide pools and the man cooking lobster right there at night was awesome and his prices were reasonable. The area of Bar Harbor and Acadia park is beautiful and super pet friendly! We would like to return but would make sure we had a waterfront site for the space and views!
Date of Stay: October, 2015
Sites were very close and on top of each other. No privacy at all and our site didn't even have any grass, plant, or tree. Amenities were great, but we stayed over a holiday weekend in September. Saturday - Tuesday and most amenities, activities and the snack bar were all shut down Sunday at 2. Also, they do rent out their facilities for private events. We had no activities other than the pools available to us on Sunday afternoon and they booked the indoor pool privately! Temp was in the 60s and drizzling so my kids couldn't swim until after 5.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
The park's location is great! They have two free trolley's that would take you to two beaches. The park has an old section and a new section. The new section was great! We stayed in the older section and it was OK. Sites are smaller there, bathrooms need updating. Amenities were great! So much to do and they have a great little restaurant offering snacks to fish adn burgers. We would definitely return, but would request the new side of the park.
Date of Stay: September, 2012
Friendly staff, but not the "Jellystone" camping we are used to. We stayed over a holiday weekend and there were no activities for the kids. We like to camp in Sept and Oct and at each Jellystone campground we've stayed at they always have activities throughout the weekend. Sites had no privacy, they were one on top of the other. We're used to have a semi-private location with some trees in between each site. The grounds were really pretty and the fall is a great time to visit. Another thing is that they call the park - Jellystone Campground - Cooperstown, but they are really 1/2 hour away. To me that's a little misleading. We had to travel a 1/2 hour to and from Cooperstown each day. We were under the impression that they were located right outside and perhaps a 10 minute ride at most. Price was very low, but perhaps because there were no activities going on.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Loved it here! Friendly staff and well co-ordinated activities throughout our stay!! The water park was a hit with our kids too!! Hey Hey ride was a daily event for us! Our only negative comment is that it's a long drive for us!! We wish it wasn't such a long drive.. Next time we'll just have to stay a bit longer.

I have the following problem : Environment : JDK 1.4, Win2000 I am developing some custom ant tasks, which are using MQ Series for Java. The custom ant tasks use fscontext.jar and providerutil.jar, two JNDI jar files supplied by Sun. I have to put these two jar files in my classpath before starting ant, otherwise my build fails. set CLASSPATH=%MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH%\lib\fscontext.jar;%MQ_JAVA_INSTALL_PATH%\lib\providerutil.jar Classes contained in these two jar files are almost certainly instantiated in a class of jndi.jar with a call of Class.forName() Is there a workaround to avoid having to set the classpath manually ? I do not have problems with other classes which are not loaded via Class.forName. I have found these two bug reports which are maybe related to what I experience : http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=17576 http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6606 Would scripting calls to AntClassLoader#forceLoadClass in my build script solve the problem ? If yes, does someone have an example of how to do it ? Or would a workaround be to run the java task beforehand, giving it as main class the jndi driver name for instance ? Antoine

Newsweek: Matt Cooper's Source
So now we know what Rove told Time's reporter Matt Cooper:
"Cooper wrote that Rove offered him a "big warning" not to "get too far out on Wilson." Rove told Cooper that Wilson's trip had not been authorized by "DCIA"—CIA Director George Tenet—or Vice President Dick Cheney. Rather, "it was, KR said, wilson's wife, who apparently works at the agency on wmd [weapons of mass destruction] issues who authorized the trip." Wilson's wife is Plame, then an undercover agent working as an analyst in the CIA's Directorate of Operations counterproliferation division. (Cooper later included the essence of what Rove told him in an online story.) The e-mail characterizing the conversation continues:
"not only the genesis of the trip is flawed an[d] suspect but so is the report. he [Rove] implied strongly there's still plenty to implicate iraqi interest in acquiring uranium fro[m] Niger... "
So Rove told Cooper what we've already knew.....that Wilson was full of crap (or himself - same thing).
Old news, The Senate Intelligence Report told us that.
For those Moonbats (here) and (here), and those still counting votes in Ohio, who will be still looking for the "Rove in the Haystack", forget it. He didn't "out" anyone.
But that aside for a minute, let me give you another take on this from an old reporter kind of guy.
As far as I'm concerned, this investigation is looking at the wrong 'perpetrators'. Instead of dinking around with this old and tired story of nothing - because nothing really happened , I say "Investigate both Joeseph and (regular Mom) Valerie Plame."
Some believed that Ms. Valerie should have been "frog-marched" out of the Langley last year.
I really think there is a greater story here, and to put this thing to bed forever, we need to look further into Joseph and Valerie's involvement in the whole affair- which at my reading of the has "conspiracy and coverup" written all over it.
Back to the "full of crap" angle.
Both Joseph and Valerie are proven liars and if you read the Washington Post story from last year (here), you even see that there is a strong case that the both of them were trying to cook something up.
Excerpt fromWashington Post article:
"The report said Plame told committee staffers that she relayed the CIA's request to her husband, saying, "there's this crazy report" about a purported deal for Niger to sell uranium to Iraq. The committee found Wilson had made an earlier trip to Niger in 1999 for the CIA, also at his wife's suggestion.
The report also said Wilson provided misleading information to The Washington Post last June. He said then that he concluded the Niger intelligence was based on documents that had clearly been forged because "the dates were wrong and the names were wrong."
What were those two trying to cook up? To me, this story should have been about those two all along.

The future of legal education in England and Wales has been thrown into doubt following the Law Society's decision to abolish the Training Framework Review Group (TFRG).
The move comes as the Law Society's new regulation board takes over responsibility for education and training matters. However, members of the TFRG and LPC providers claimed that the decision to dissolve the review group came as a complete surprise. It is also understood that the move was not discussed at the Law Society Council meeting last December.
It is understood that members of the TFRG first heard of the decision in a letter, seen by The Lawyer, sent to them by the group's chair Sue Nelson earlier this month.
Nelson said: "It's now a matter for the regulatory board to decide how it will go forward. I don't think it's possible now to predict in terms of any of the Law Society's regulatory activities what will happen next."
The Law Society was adamant that the dissolution of the review group would have no impact on the progress of the controversial Training Framework Review. A Law Society spokesperson said: "The new committee is absolutely taking this forward." The new training education committee will be chaired by Jonathan Spencer and will be made up of council and regulatory board members, including Nelson.
Melissa Hardee, the course director of the Inns of Court School, who represented the minority voice on the TFRG, said: "I was a bit surprised to learn that the TFRG had been disbanded. Let's hope it isn't a neat way of removing the voice of the dissenting minority."

Surging US equities stir heated debate over possible bubble By: Published on: December, 2013 US stock indices are at record highs but the exuberance is not irrational, say bullish analysts, because the level of valuations is justified by strong earnings and a market with some of the world's most profitable companies. Print Order Share Share on facebook Share on twitter Share on linkedin Share on googleplus Predictions of a bubble in US equities have been growing more insistent during the past two months as sharp rises in stock prices have pushed the big three boards up into uncharted territory. So far this year, the Dow is up 24% after peaking above 16,000, the broader S&P 500 is up 28% after breaching 1,800, and the Nasdaq is up 35% and extending its break above 4,000. The bubble fears are reasonable: The last time the Nasdaq was at these levels was in 2000 at the height of the dotcom bubble, prompting economists such as this years Nobel Prize winner for economics Robert Shiller to join the chorus of warnings of a bubble, particularly in technology and financials. The more bearish are equally adamant the moving-day and moving-week average technicals dictating current valuations are overdue a pullback. The cyclically adjusted price/earnings ratio is around 25 times compared with the long-term average of 16.5, which, according to this measure, means US equities are overvalued relative to long-term trend, and would take a 35% correction to bring to fair value. Glaring examples include Twitter, which despite posting a Q3 loss of $64 million on revenues of $168 million is up 55% on its IPO price, valuing the company at $26 billion. However, further signs of economic recovery could alleviate some of the worry by compensating for the potential fallout from the US scaling back quantitative easing (QE) likely now in January. Many believe much of the cheap cash from the Feds money-printing stimulus programme has found its way into the stock market. Unemployment fell unexpectedly to 7%, its lowest level in five years, as firms payrolls swelled by 203,000 in November and the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.6% in the third quarter, substantially above the 2.8% the US Commerce Department initially estimated. Im very comfortable with the level of valuations, says Guy Foster, head of portfolio strategy at Brewin Dolphin. It was a decent a year for earnings and youve got some of the most profitable companies in the world in that market. The naysayers would point to the cyclically adjusted price-earnings ratio, but weve analysed that in quite some detail and we find theres very little comparability about the various measures of earnings that have been used over time. He adds: Whilst the best returns may have been had, I certainly wouldnt see anything approximating a bubble in US stocks. There are definitely some stocks where you would question the valuation, but there are plenty more which look extremely sound. Foster says tech and social media plays, such as Twitter, that have sky-high valuations based on very bold projections of increasing revenues, are the exceptions rather than the rule. Take something like Google, by contrast, he says. Its probably the most profitable company in the world and could probably be significantly more profitable if it so wished just by reducing its R&D spending. I dont believe QE is driving the market because a lot of money is flowing out of the US and a lot of money is remaining on banks balance sheets. He adds: You compare, say, an equity valuation to a bond valuation and you conclude that the equity looks much better value. You compare the bond valuation to what you can get on cash and you conclude that, actually, even the bonds dont look terribly expensive. It all just underlines the fact that equities are quite good value. Tech stocks that have seen massive price run-ups this year include 3D Systems, LinkedIn, Facebook, Priceline.com, Amazon and Google. All except Priceline and Google have P/E ratios of 80 or more. LinkedIn and Amazons estimated P/Es for this year both top a staggering 500. Financials that have seen similar price run-ups, albeit with less stratospheric P/Es, include Altisource Portfolio Solutions, Virtus Investment Partners, Ocwen Financial and HCI Group. Appetite for new stocks has been growing strongly, with IPOs on track for by far their busiest year since the financial crisis, up by more than two-thirds on the January-to-December period in 2012. Technology and financial companies accounted for more than 40% of the 210 flotations in the year-to-date and 35% of the $49 billion raised, according to data from Renaissance Capital. There is a bit of a bubble and we need a correction, says Michael Hewson, chief market analyst at CMC Markets. When you look at the technicals and you look at the distance that the S&P and the Dow are away from the 200-week and 200-day moving average, at some point there needs to be either a sideways consolidation or a correction.

The downturn has created many twists and turns in the housing market but perhaps none as unlikely as the renaissance of an old-fashioned concept – the lodger. Tightening household belts have obliged a rising number of homeowners to consider letting out a room; likewise the high costs of formal accommodation from rented flats to hotels and hostels, have persuaded many people to look for more modest places to stay. The result is that the lodger is back.
"I wanted extra money to fund my social life and to put money into ISAs and a pension, and lodging seemed ideal," explains Helen Simpson, a legal manager from Leamington Spa. She now has Richard Boyd as a lodger at her flat from Monday to Friday.
"I asked for references and bank statements, interviewed people and wasn't afraid to turn down those I didn't feel quite comfortable with. Richard pays by direct debit and put down a deposit. It's flexible – so far it's lasted six months but his circumstances or mine might change, so it's easy to extend or bring to a halt," says Helen.
Boyd, a design engineer at the Aston Martin luxury car firm in Leamington Spa, has his own home in Sussex but during the week has the full run of the communal rooms in Helen's flat. Sometimes he and Helen will eat or watch television together in the evening after work.
"It's much cheaper than a bed and breakfast. If I rented a place of my own just for four nights a week it would be complicated and expensive. Lodging is a very simple solution. Helen and I get on well and it's nice to come back to a friendly face. I used the internet to find a lodging agency, then I short-listed four places that were in the right location that suited my price range. Helen's was by far the best, so here I am," he says.
Helen and Richard are not unusual. A string of online services now offer to match would-be landlords and lodgers and one, www.spareroom.co.uk, says the darkening economic mood has created a surge of interest. It claims there are 32 per cent more people using its site than this time last year and that the average lodging rent per week is just £88 – less than the price of one night in a modest hotel in many cities.
While insurance company Liverpool Victoria says the numbers of lodgers have soared 15 per cent in the last three years to levels not seen since the 1960s. And that 37 per cent of those renting out a room need the income to pay their mortgage.
"We saw a spike in home owners advertising for lodgers in January when many were suffering a post-Christmas financial hangover. We then saw a further spike after the Coalition's Budget in June and numbers have been on an upward trend ever since. We expect another spike following the Government's spending review on 20 October," explains Spareroom's director, Matt Hutchinson.
So if you own or rent a home with a room to spare, how do you attract a lodger?
The extra money may be useful but you lose at least some privacy, may have to share communal areas and always have the feeling of someone in your home. If you are an owner-occupier check with your mortgage lender. You may get a consent-to-let status, which will allow you to have a lodger and keep your existing conventional loan. A stroppy lender, however, may oblige you to take out a buy-to-let style loan, which will be more expensive. Let your household and contents insurer know of your lodging intentions, too. And if you are a private renter you can still let out a spare room if it is appropriate, but you will need your landlord's consent and your sub-letting should be written into the contract. Again, inform your contents insurer.
This depends on what you offer your lodger – in addition to the room will you provide meals, cleaning or laundry? If so, you may be wise to itemise this in your contract with your tenant. Also you can join the Government's Rent-A-Room scheme, which allows you an income from your tenant of £4,250 a year tax-free – that is about £350 per month. The room or rooms let must be furnished and must not form a completely self-contained element of your home; in other words, you should share a front door and communal areas with your lodger. Under Rent-A-Room you cannot claim expenses such as wear and tear, insurance, repairs, heating and lighting.
Many people who take in lodgers choose not to opt in to Rent-A-Room, because being outside means they can offset their legitimate expenses – ranging from part of the insurance to new light bulbs for the let room – against their tax liability. Another choice you'll have to make is whether or not to use an agent. Lodging used to be very informal but now, if you wish to be more formal, there are many agencies that will find and vet tenants, draw up contracts and even handle health and safety checks on your home. You pay handsomely for this, while the alternative could be as simple as a notice in a local paper or shop, or an online classified advertisement – but then you have to manage the tenancy yourself.
It makes sense to set out terms and conditions, from what areas are out of bounds to how much notice is given to end the arrangement. Websites like www.lawpack.co.uk have model contracts that can be downloaded at low cost. It is also sensible to check the financial viability of a lodger (financial security firms like www.equifax.co.uk and www.experian.co.uk will do this for you for a small charge). Insist your lodger pays by standing order – this avoids regular uncomfortable face-to-face requests for payments. And don't forget that annual gas safety checks are required, conducted by Gas Safe-registered engineers and all furniture should be of modern safety standards.

Excellent product
We had tried many types of complete food before finding this one that our dog liked and that was compatible with her sensitive stomach condition. I would not change from this now as it seems to do the trick for her. The offer price makes it excellent value for money.

Water vapor is indeed a powerful greenhouse gas, but there is plenty of room for CO2 to play a role
(Part of the How to Talk to a Global Warming Skeptic guide)
Objection: H2O accounts for 95% of the greenhouse effect; CO2 is insignificant.
Answer: According to the scientific literature and climate experts, CO2 contributes anywhere from 9% to 30% to the overall greenhouse effect. The 95% number does not appear to come from any scientific source, though it gets tossed around a lot.
Please see this paper (PDF), the textbook referenced here, and this article at RealClimate.
There is a very important distinction to be made, as you will read if you follow the link to Real Climate, between water vapour's role in the Earth's Greenhouse effect and it's role in climate change. If you were to read through the table of climate forcings in the IPCC report or at NASA's page about forcings in its GCM, you won't find water vapour there at all. This is not because climate scientists are trying to hide the role of water vapour, rather it is because H2O in the troposphere is a feedback effect, it is not a forcing agent. Simply put, any artificial perturbation in water vapour concentrations is too short lived to change the climate. Too much in the air will quickly rain out, not enough and the abundant ocean surface will provide the difference via evaporation. But once the air is warmed by other means, H2O concentrations will rise and stay high, thus providing the feedback.

Asus Xense: New high-end sound card
At the Cebit 2010 Asus introduces the Xense, a high-end sound card that is bundled with the Sennheiser PC350 headset.
PC Games Hardware is on site at the Cebit 2010. On our first tour through the halls, we noticed the Asus Xense, which is bundled with the Sennheiser PC 350. The Xense apparently offers a DVI output, a SPDIF output (coaxial) as well as 6.3 mm jacks for headphones and microphone. Power for the PCI Express x1 sound card is supplied via a 4-pin molex connector. The Xense offers a SNR of 118 dB and the amplifier supports up to 600 ohms impedance for headphones.
Asus also showed a headset that looks quite a lot like the Sennheiser PC151.

SWIC offers many opportunities for high school students to access college programs and classes.
Some programs are considered dual credit opportunities, where the student simultaneously earns high school and college credit. Some initiatives are dual enrollment, where only college credit is earned.
For more information:
618-235-2700, ext. 5142
Highly qualified high school students earn a high school diploma while simultaneously earning an associate degree from SWIC. Courses, which are college-level with advanced rigor and subject matter, are taught on a SWIC campus. Students are integrated into existing college classes and attend full-time.
Intended for...Academically prepared and socially mature students with at least a 3.0 high school GPA who test into college level English and math (must have completed one year of high school algebra and geometry)
For more information on the Running Start Program, visit swic.edu/running-start
Traditional dual credit classes are taught at the high school during the school day by the high school faculty who meet the college's minimum instructor requirements.
Intended for...Students who are enrolled in college level courses, both transfer and vocational
For more information on the dual credit program, visit swic.edu/dual-credit.
High school students take dual enrollment courses, but the students do not receive high school credit. Typically, the courses are attended at a campus at night or in the morning at the high school (Early Bird classes) before the start of the day. A district will allow "reverse transfer" of a SWIC class in order for the high school student to graduate in a timely manner, but this is decided by the local school district.
Intended for...Students who are seeking an enrichment opportunity or an opportunity to start college classes before high school completion
High schools that offer AP or dual credit courses with other institutions align the courses with SWIC so students enter SWIC with as much college credit as possible. This initiative strives to provide a seamless transfer of previous academic work, based upon course alignment and transcript review, with an objective of demonstrating to students how close they are to a SWIC associate degree at the end of their senior year.
Intended for...Students who do not have much or any SWIC credit, but have earned AP credit or have earned dual credit with other institutions and are considering attending SWIC

Abandon plans for Random Drug Testing at the Northern Valley High Schools
The Board of Education is pushing through a controversial policy without first thoroughly investigating the problem or allowing public debate. The effectiveness of Mandatory Random Drug Testing of high school students has been debunked in many studies and may not be the right plan for our region. We fear that students will experience these Random Drug Tests as a stressful and embarrassing invasion of privacy, undermining the spirit of collegiality and scholarship that both schools have long fostered.
