The senate is going to try to horse-trade universal registration in return for not voting on the horrendous Feinstein ban. IMO, this is what they wanted all along - an Overton Window. The Overton Window is proposing something so outlandish (Feinstein Ban) that the real proposal (Universal Registration) seems reasonable. Registration leads to confiscation.
Entire email text below. I moved the "Action Link" right up here to the top:
Gun Owners of America
Defeat Every Word of Gun Control!
Gun Owners of America today submitted testimony at the request of the Ranking Member of the Senate Constitution Subcommittee. GOA took a strong stance against all the gun control legislation on the table and urged the Senate to put forth real solutions to school violence -- like letting teachers and principals protect their students.
Also, GOA wants to thank all of you who participated in our online poll over the past week. With 20,897 votes cast so far, the poll results indicate that 96% of GOA's membership OPPOSES "universal background checks" -- and, hence, opposes the very guts of the gun legislation that is expected to move in the Senate.
Now, it's time to talk strategy -- that of the anti-gunners, and of ours, as well.
Within the next three weeks, we expect Senator Patrick Leahy's Senate Judiciary Committee will move a national gun registry bill to the Senate floor.
The Judiciary Committee bill will probably not contain the Feinstein semi-auto gun ban, and it may or may not have a magazine ban which would render most of the nation's guns unusable, at least for the foreseeable future.
But the Judiciary Committee bill will almost certainly ban all private sales of firearms -- or any private exchange where the gun buyer does not first get permission from the FBI. And it's this background check requirement that will inevitably set up a framework for a universal gun registry.
The Leahy bill will most certainly have a "gun trafficking" section that is based on other legislation (S. 54) that he's already introduced. This would turn everyone who lives under repressive state gun laws into a federal "prohibited person," as well. Hence, if your state requires a license to possess a gun, you would also become a federal prohibited person. Oh, and the Leahy bill would also send you to prison for 20 years for unknowingly selling a firearm to a marijuana user. So, the next time you're thinking of selling a gun, all we can say is: "Are you felling lucky?"
Anyway, here's Harry Reid's strategy: He has at least eleven Democratic senators running for reelection in pro-gun states in 2014 -- and they don't want to SEEM anti-gun. The eleven Democratic senators in pro-gun states are: Mark Begich (Alaska), Mark Pryor (Arkansas), Mark Udall (Colorado), Mary Landrieu (Louisiana), Al Franken (Minnesota), Max Baucus (Montana), Jeanne Shaheen (New Hampshire), Tom Udall (New Mexico), Kay Hagan (North Carolina), Tim Johnson (South Dakota), and Mark Warner (Virginia).
All of these Democrats will vote for the national gun registry and gun licensure. And, in exchange, Reid will allow them to vote against the Feinstein gun ban, which will be the sacrificial lamb to the more important gun control which Democrats really want.
But aside from the fact that the Democratic "non-controversial" gun control bill is, in many ways, worse than the "controversial" bills, there are two additional problems.
First, if gun control gets to the Senate floor, all bets are off. There are dozens of horrific gun control proposals that could easily be added on the floor. For example, a Lautenberg amendment -- supposedly intended to "combat terrorism" -- would allow Obmama to ban guns for every gun activist in America just by putting their names on a secret "watch list."
Second, if gun control makes it to a House-Senate conference committee, all bets are off. The conference could report a bill which contains a Feinstein amendment, even though neither the House nor the Senate voted for that language. The conference report is unamendable, and, under the recent anti-gun changes in the Senate rules, there is no way to keep a Senate-passed bill out of the hands of an anti-gun conference.
First, we cannot allow one word of gun control to move to the Senate floor. NOT ONE WORD.
Second, the way we keep gun control from reaching the Senate floor is to defeat the "motion to proceed" to the Leahy Bill. (The "motion to proceed" is usually offered by the Senate Majority Leader -- in this case Harry Reid -- to bring up a bill for consideration. The Senate quite often brings up legislation under a Unanimous Consent agreement, but if there is not unanimity, the "motion to proceed" can usually be debated, if not filibustered.)
ACTION: Click here (take-action ) to urge your Senators to vote against the Motion to Proceed to any gun control bill reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee. This bill cannot be allowed to get to the Senate floor, or Harry Reid will then have a free-hand to start his "let's make a deal" game.

Carefuly shake off the soil and gently tease the individual bulbs apart being careful to leave the foliage attached to the bulbs. Dig a hole (we recommend you allow for approximately three times the depth of the bulb) and plant the bulbs leaving the 'green' foliage sticking out above the soil. Allow the foliage to die down naturally. Your bulbs should then provide you with a great show each spring. If over the years the spread of flowers gets too large, then dig and lift a clump of bulbs once they have started to flower and plant as above.
Ideal for beds and borders. Scented. Grows well in sun or shade.

The refurbishment for DCA's Little Mermaid ride we'd told you about in a Miceage Update last year is now back on. Burbank is beginning to loosen purse strings for Anaheim at least, while Orlando remains on a very short fiscal leash due to MyMagic+ cost overruns. DCA's Mermaid refurb is currently slated for seven weeks from late March to early May and will fix a laundry list of cosmetic, lighting and scenery issues throughout the ride. No word yet how they'll budget this Mermaid rehab for WDW's version, much less schedule it. WDW's version of Soarin' is also in refurb purgatory, while DCA's Soarin' closes next month for a big HD upgrade.

More good news concerns the P42VT30's 3D pictures. Once again, they prove Panasonic's plasma advantage in terms of crosstalk, as 3D images show practically no sign of the tell-tale ghosting at all. This in turn allows the P42VT30 to do a superb job of reproducing the full HD detailing that's so characteristic of the best active 3D pictures.
If you switch the set to its Dynamic mode and ramp up the brightness a few notches from its preset level, moreover, you can also get a reasonably punchy picture by 3D plasma standards. With any of the other video picture presets dark colours tend to mutate into black, and shadow details are crushed into oblivion, making us think it would have made sense for Panasonic to have provided a dedicated 3D picture preset. Maybe next time.
Having lots of detail and no crosstalk with 3D pictures also helps the set produce a relatively untiring and convincing impression of extreme depth with good quality 3D sources.
The P42VT30's 2D performance is perfectly acceptable, with good sharpness levels. But there's a touch more noise than we'd ideally like to see, and with very low quality sources, the P42VT30 struggles slightly to retain the same degree of colour naturalism witnessed with higher quality images.
Overall, we'd say the P42VT30 does outperform the GT30 series, chiefly because of its class-leading black levels. However, we should add that the extra filter added to boost black levels does also seem to knock a touch of brightness out of the P42VT30's pictures. With this in mind, if you're looking for a TV to go into a room that's prone to high ambient brightness levels, then you might actually be better off going for the GT30 series. The slightly reflective nature of the glass sheet across the VT30's front underlines this train of thought.
We also found we had to work a little harder during calibration to get accurate colours out of the P42VT30, again potentially because of the impact of the extra contrast filter. But we certainly got there in the end, so ultimately this is no big deal.
Our only other gripes with the P42VT30 would be that the deep black levels feel a touch more forced than they do on our reference KURO plasma TV (in that really dark areas look fractionally crushed), and that very occasionally we spotted sudden shifts in brightness. But we didn't feel that these occurred nearly often or drastically enough to make even a small dent in the P42VT30's reams of strengths.
Finishing up with the P42VT30's audio, it turned out to be... pretty good. There's certainly more bass around than you get with many flat TVs thanks to the subwoofer on the set's rear, but the main speakers lack the powers to go particularly loud or deliver the expansive mid-range we'd hoped for.
The P42VT30 is another stunning Panasonic TV, with class-leading black level response, wonderful detail resolution and the cleanest 3D picture yet seen. It's also beautifully built and rich in multimedia features, as well as being reasonable value when you take into account the two pairs of 3D glasses and USB Wi-Fi dongle it ships with.
People with quite bright rooms might do better with the slightly less contrasty but seemingly slightly brighter pictures of the GT30 series, and the P42VT30's 42in screen frankly left us gagging for something bigger. But neither of these 'philosophical' arguments stops the set from being state of the art so far as current 40-42in TVs are concerned.
"weighing a ton and feeling like it's been hewn from a single block of metal" You sure there wasn't a concrete block inside like in the washing machines?
I think value for money score should've been 7/10.
It seems Pani's starting to over-price its wares of late. Just as well Samsung's (Samsung UE46D7000, value=9/10 or Samsung LE46C750 for £699!!!) and LG are starting to offer just as good picture quality but for a lot less.
I am realy sorry but "If you switch the set to its Dynamic mode and ramp up the brightness a few notches from its preset level, moreover, you can also get a reasonably punchy picture by 3D plasma standards. With any of the other video picture presets dark colours tend to mutate into black, and shadow details are crushed into oblivion, making us think it would have made sense for Panasonic to have provided a dedicated 3D picture preset. Maybe next time.
That is some of the worst advice i have read...........
You can not be serious mate " Switch to Dynamic and Ramp up brightness ".
tele1962: We understand that you disagree with that particular bit of advice. Would you care to expand on your comments? What horrible fate will befall users who switch to Dynamic mode and increase the brightness?
@tele1962: I think the point is that the 3D glasses reduce perceived brightness, obliterate shadow detail and wash out the colours, much like wearing sunglasses would do. Under normal circumstances, I don't think anyone would recommend using dynamic mode and upping the brightness unless they actually like the retina-searing overblown colours you see on a shop demo set.
I thought this TV was THX certified for both 2D and 3D? So wouldnt it make more sense to use the THX mode for 3D viewing so your seeing colours etc more like the directors wanted it to be seen than an over bright image that dynamic creates? Also I though dynamic gave poor gamma results that jumped all over the place.
Dont get me wrong I understand the glasses dull the image some but I thought the THX for 3D would counter this by slightly increasing the contrast and brightness and still give a great image with all the depth and detail and stable gamma and colours.
Incorrect picture something you don't want on a tv of this quality. Also Insanity 202 quite correct in saying there is a 3D THX setting on this TV. Most of the measurements reported up to now in 3D mode have been excellent.
Will you be reviewing the 65 inch version of this TV?
We certainly plan to.
@IbalM will you be buying one?!!!
The decline of the last remaining superpower continues with a little a help from expensive vendors like Pani:
"For the first time in nearly 20 years, the number of homes in the United States with television sets has dropped.
"The Nielsen Co., which takes TV set ownership into account when it produces ratings, will tell television networks and advertisers on Tuesday that 96.7 percent of American households now own sets, down from 98.9 percent previously.
"There are two reasons for the decline, according to Nielsen. One is poverty: Some low-income households no longer own TV sets, most likely because they cannot afford new digital sets and antennas."
Here's an interesting and less 'technical' explanation for the decline in US households with a tv set:
"...have you tried carrying a 50" plasma when someone's chasing you? No wonder laptops are more popular." by Richard, Barnsley
No Enigma, I don't. I'm not rich enough, but that doesn't stop me from reading reviews and dreaming.
i have this tv since last saturday and absolutely love it.. the shop took bak my vt20 and with a cash adjustment gave me a vt30.. its a lot better in most ways.. love the black level, the design, the lack of 'floating blacks' the lack of any buzzing from the set.. its just plain great.. yes its expensive and my retailer agreed its a hard sell when you can get a cheaper lcd for a 3rd of the price.. but for those who care about picture quality this is hard to beat..
Did you have a problem with the VT20 that prompted them to take it back?
Yes, my vt20 bugged the hell out of me with floating blacks and buzzing.. and to a lesser degree 50hz motion issues.. the vt30 has no floating blacks, doesnt buzz and is much better with 50 hz so a winner all round for me
Enigma: "The decline of the last remaining superpower continues with a little a help from expensive vendors like Pani..."...
... Seriously? What an odd claim. You seem to be suggesting that because poor people cannot afford an expensive Panasonic, therefore they are forced to go without any television at all. If fewer households in the US can afford to run ANY kind of television AT ALL, then it means their government needs to deal with the issue of dire poverty - not that Panasonic, Sony or whoever need to lower their prices!
As for your earlier post, yes Samsung and LG make cheaper alternatives. However this particular Panasonic is, quite simply, better in some key areas - especially in black levels, hence all the references to the Pioneer Kuro range. This is not a brand issue; you get what you pay for.
This TV is worth every penny. From the moment it powers up it will bowl you over and amaze you. I bought the 42 in version. It didn't look that big in the shop, but when I got it home it was the perfect size. It's like having your own home cinema, only better. The one sheet of glass looks amazing. At under 5cm thick it's thinner than some paperback books that I have. Perfect for wall mounting. If you buy this TV make sure that you read the manual at least twice. All 132 pages of it. Even after doing this I still had to search YouTube for demonstrations. Make sure that your leads are connected to the right ports or your equipment won't work. It's essential that your HHD goes in USB slot marked HDD. Sounds simple right? Even the engineer that installed my TV got this wrong. Cable/Virgin, DVD players, everything has to go in a specific slot. I still haven't worked out how to record from anything but the TV tuner. Not even sure that you can. Timer recording is a pain as you can only record one episode of your favourite programme at a time. There is no series link in the TV guide at present. I hope Panasonic fix this sometime soon by way of download as it's driving me crazy. When you put your HD channel (I found BBC HD to be the best) on the TV you sit back and feel like you are actually there. You have to see it to believe it. Like 3D in the cinema? This is 100 times better. Do yourself a favour and go out and buy it. Now. But before you will buy it, I suggest you have to check for best deal at -> bestdealschecking.info/tx-p... Enjoy!

Match Report
Posted Tue 06 Aug 13 at 21:30 PM
Report: Gillingham 0-2 City
City ended a sequence of nine winless cup ties to ease through to the second round of the Capital One Cup at Gillingham.
Sam Baldock opened his account for the season on 21 minutes before Jordan Wynter struck with his first professional goal in the second half, but in truth it could easily have been three or four for Sean O'Driscoll's side, with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas instrumental in victory.
The summer signing kept up his record of being involved in every City goal of the season, stylishly setting up Baldock for the first before his 65th minute shot fell kindly for the 19-year-old Wynter to pounce.
O'Driscoll handed a full debut to Marlon Pack in midfield, while Marvin Elliott took his place alongside him having recovered from a troublesome knee injury.
Scott Wagstaff and Joe Bryan dropped out of the starting line-up from the City team held by Bradford on the opening day of the Sky Bet League One campaign at the weekend.
City, fielding a very narrow-looking central quartet, soon began to control possession, with Jay Emmanuel-Thomas firing the first warning shot and forcing Gills stopper Stuart Nelson into a diving save low to his left.
Much of O'Driscoll's pre-match thoughts had centred around the tendency of last season's League Two champions to utilise long throws, but Chris Whelpdale caught City unawares with the short option, collecting the return pass before seeing his cross headed over the top by Adebayo Akinfenwa.
It was a similar story soon after, as everyone in red anticipated a regulation corner routine, only for Bradley Dack to pick out Whelpdale with a low cutback, but the winger's first-time shot was lashed high into the temporary seating behind Frank Fielding's goal.
As on Saturday, when he created and scored in a 2-2 draw, Emmanuel-Thomas was at it again with some slick footwork to evade the challenge of debutant Michael Harriman inside the Gillingham penalty area before cutting the ball back for
to slide home his first goal since Easter Monday.
It was an opening goal justified by City's dominance in possession, but their hosts almost drew level immediately as left-back Joe Martin surged down the flank and crossed from the byeline for Akinfenwa, but again the barrel-chested striker failed to keep his header down from ten yards.
It was becoming a recurring theme as, after another sustained spell of City possession, Akinfenwa was presented with another headed chance but this time planted it wide of Fielding's left-hand post.
Gradually Gillingham were growing in confidence, having been smothered for so long by the Robins' superior ball retention.
Akinfenwa left Liam Fontaine in his wake down the City left and lumbered into the box, eventually cutting the ball back for Callum Davies, whose guided shot towards the far corner was importantly cleared to safety by Aden Flint.
Whelpdale then brought three sides of Priestfield to its feet with an eye-catching volley after teeing himself up, but, for all the Gills' attempts, Fielding remained untested in the City goal into the second half.
By the time the interval came and went, the visitors had regained the ascendancy, only to squander a wealth of chances at the start of the second period.
First Baldock troubled Nelson with a 20-yard daisy-cutter spilled by the keeper, who had to be helped out by his retreating defence, before Flint beat Nelson to Neil Kilkenny's inswinging free kick but glanced his header wide of the far post.
City were turning the screw and a second goal looked inevitable, particularly when another piece of Emmanuel-Thomas magic helped set up a glorious double chance.
Slowing the play down to walking pace – literally – on the right-hand touchline, the maverick forward waited for the run of Brendan Moloney, who was rewarded for his willing burst with a teasing pass into his stride.
The Irishman fired a low ball across the goal begging to be finished by Baldock at the far post. Instead the striker contrived to hit the inside of the near post, before Nelson clawed the ball out from on the goal line only to Wynter, who headed the rebound on to the top of the crossbar from no more than six yards.
But the teenager's moment would come. This time Emmanuel-Thomas drifted inside off the right flank and drove at the Gillingham defence, unleashing a left-footed shot from distance that was only half-blocked and fell perfectly for
to tuck home the loose ball from ten yards.
The hosts predictably threw caution to the wind in the final quarter, bombarding the City box with crosses, but Flint was peerless in the air and Fielding never unduly troubled.

(in no particular order)
1. The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, by Christopher Moore
Christopher Moore is a funny writer. He creates funny characters and has them do funny things. This novel is about a horny dinosaur who invades a California coastal town.
This is one of Moore's earlier works, and it isn't as polished as his later works, but it's fun nevertheless. In one representative scene, the eponymous, aroused monster falls for a tanker truck as it idles in a parking lot. The tanker's driver dies in the ensuing hijinx, which illustrates one of Moore's more endearing traits as an author. Also in this book you will meet the delightful Kendra, Warrior Babe of the Outland, one of the author's strange and wonderful characters. Kendra, along with the entire wacky, fictional town, reprise their roles in Moore's "The Stupidest Angel."
2. You Can Farm, by Joel Salatin
Salatin is a guru in the new agriculture movement. He is an energetic, outspoken enthusiast of locally grown, healthy, sustainable plants and animals. While he has written several quite readable books, he's a farmer who writes, rather than a writer who farms. Ever since Michael Pollan made him famous in the book "The Omnivore's Dilemma," Salatin has had a wide and growing audience. His approach to farming is so notable that he proselytizes his methods however he can. In this book he makes the case that you can actually make a living at farming without compromising sustainability.
3. The End of War, by David L. Robbins
This excellent book describes, in novel form, how the victors wrapped up the pursuit of Nazi Germany at the end of World War II. There was still a lot of blood remaining to be shed when the outcome of the war was clearly seen to be an allied victory, but the allies were not at all a unified front. The three main players, Stalin, Churchill, and Roosevelt all knew that their actions in 1945 would have lasting effect on the shape of Europe in the decades to come. All three came from wildly disparate backgrounds and brought equally disparate ideals to the bargaining table.
This novel has been called flawed because of its ambitious and problematic subject matter, but for devotees of the genre, it is revealing and fascinating.
4. Live and Let Die, by Ian Fleming
In the 1960s I was a big fan of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels, and Live and Let Die was my favorite. It's been well over 40 years since I've read it and it was fascinating to reread it as an adult.
Fleming's novels were simple, formulaic, and improbable, yet they were mind-expanding to young mid-century readers like me. Fleming's time as an OSS agent in World War II gave him and his creation a frisson of reality, and Bond's worldliness and his success with women made him quite appealing to a twelve-year-old boy, and there's a twelve-year-old boy in many of us.
Fleming's Bond is grittier and more authentic than the cinematic Bond. Yet his knowledge and sophistication in all things, from gambling to booze to politics, is what makes him an appealing action hero. The Bond of the movies got that part right.
Fleming's creation made the secret agent genre into a world-wide phenomenon. The sixties witnessed countless movies, TV shows, magazines, products, toys, and standup routines based on the idea of an ultra-sophisticated tough guy who could kill a man with a single blow of his hand, and who devastated the ladies with his cool. This was a meme to reckon with.
It wasn't until John Le Carré introduced George Smiley a generation later that one could see the reality from which Bond sprang. Both are useful archetypes, one realistic and human, the other unrealistic and what we fantasize we might be.
5. The War of the Rats, by David L. Robbins
I read this excellent book about the battle of Stalingrad more than a decade ago and really enjoyed it. The horrific pitched battle between the Russians and the Germans inside the city of Stalingrad is told through the true story of a young Russian sniper. He is so successful at surreptitiously killing Germans that the Russian command makes him the head of new sniper school, and a hero in the newspapers. In response, the Germans dispatch their best sniper to kill the young Russian. What a great storyline!
Sometime after I first read the book, a movie loosely based on the book, called "Enemy at the Gates," was released. It was also excellent, but the stories varied somewhat, and they began to muddle in my head. It was a pleasure to reread the novel again so I could tease apart the different interpretations.
6. Guide to Concrete: Masonry & Stucco Projects, by Phil Schmidt
A simple book, written to help the homeowner build patios and pathways.
7. Free-Range Chicken Gardens: How to Create Beautiful, Chicken-Friendly Yard, by Jessi Bloom
I can't really believe I read this whole book cover to cover, but I did. It was similar to eating an entire bag of marshmallows: unsubstantial, yet somehow good at the time.
This book is aimed primarily at urban and suburban gardeners, and how to safely add chickens to the mix without forcing them to stay screened in a coop.
8. Republic Lost, Lawrence Lessig
Lawrence Lessig is a prodigious talent in the legal field. A youthful prodigy, he initially held conservative views, but in later years has a been a leading voice for reform, particularly in the area of intellectual property in the digital age.
In this book, he reveals his current thinking about how the influence of corporate money has destroyed our democratic process. The book is an intelligent call to arms for reform. I highly recommend it.
9. The Killer Angels, Michael Shaara
I have been an avid reader of military history since I was about six years old. Of the hundreds of books, fact and fiction, that I've read about war, this is the best one. I first read this telling of the battle of Gettysburg in 1976, when, to little fanfare, it appeared in paperback, even though it had won a Pulitzer Prize two years before. Author Michael Shaara died soon after its publication, and the book fell from sight until the release, in 1993, of the movie "Gettysburg," whereupon the book was rereleased and finally began to garner the attention and accolades it deserved.
When an author writes nonfiction, he or she is restricted to telling the story using only documented facts. There's a whole lot of history that isn't documented, and often an adroit novelist can convey more of the truth of history than can be done with mere facts. That's exactly what Shaara has done with the three days of Gettysburg in 1863. Weaving his narrative around a dozen or so of the leading players on both sides of the conflict, his smooth prose tells the story of men caught in the web of their own making, forced by circumstance into a decisive battle.
This is at least the fourth time I've read this fantastic book, and the first time I've listened to it as an audiobook. As expected, it remains engrossing, entertaining, educational, historical, and pure fun. Even though the events are well known, we see them unfold through the eyes of the players, and we are fascinated anew.
Nowhere will you find a better description of war and warriors than here. Shaara takes us inside the heads of Lee and Longstreet as they both fret over J.E.B. Stuart's epic failure to enlighten the Confederate army. While tolerant Lee regards the lapse as that of an errant, prodigal son, Longstreet seethes in his desire to court-martial the joy-riding young cavalry officer.
On the Union side, Shaara paints the most detailed and loving portrait of an honest-to-god American hero, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlin, the intellectual Maine professor of rhetoric who has the tenacity and courage to hold the extreme left end of the Union army line on Little Round Top against wave after wave of Longstreet's Texans.
In the light of the book's renewed success, his son, Jeff Shaara, took up the authorial mantle and has written a fine series of sequels and prequels to The Killer Angels. I've read several of these and, while they are well worth reading, none of them touches the brilliance of the Father's original masterpiece.
10. Eye of the Red Tsar: A Novel of Suspense, by Sam Eastland
A beach novel about a tough Russian who used to be the Tsar's right hand man. Improbable story, fun read, forgettable.
11. The Brisket Book: A Love Story with Recipes, by Stephanie Pierson
A slightly tongue-in-cheek look at one of the most homely and unsung cuts of beef. Pierson has more to say about brisket than one might imagine can be said about this ultimate comfort food.
12. Deeply Rooted: Unconventional Farmers in the Age of Agribusiness, by Lisa M. Hamilton
A series of prose portraits of rugged individuals who refuse to succumb to the economics and ethos of factory farming.
13. An Everlasting Meal: Cooking with Economy and Grace, by Tamar Adler
Adler's book is a self-described homage to MFK Fisher, the iconoclastic foodie of the 1930s and 40s. Interesting agri-philosophy peppered with useful recipes and kitchen ideas.
14. Cognitive Surplus: Creativity and Generosity in a Connected Age, by Clay Shirky
This book is fascinating. Clay Shirky is one of, if not the, smartest, most perceptive observers of the sociology of the post-industrial age. There is simply lots of meaty good stuff about people, culture, civilization, and human nature here, and how digital technology is facilitating remarkable social change.
Humans remain the same, but our behavior changes depending on the social and economic opportunities presented by our environment, and that environment is becoming dominated by digital digital tools and networking, so our behavior changes to match it.
15. Agincourt: A Novel, by Bernard Cornwell
I read this plot driven beach novel on the beach (actually, on the airplane on the way to the beach). Highly recommended as such, but don't look for anything else. Cornwell's work is historically accurate and interesting for that, but don't look for literary sparkles here.
16. Fighter Pilot, by Robin Olds
A superb memoir of a legendary character. Robin Olds is an archetype of the Greatest Generation and of fighter pilots. An easy and enjoyable read that will make you proud to be alive.
17. Lisbon: War in the Shadows of the City of Light, 1939-45, by Neill Lochery
An account of the fascinating role Lisbon played during World War II. As the capital of small, neutral Portugal, the city hosted spies of all countries and intrigue aplenty. The city's mayor tiptoed on a razor's edge playing Allied against Axis interests without provoking either to belligerence.
18. Doomsday Book, by Connie Willis
I couldn't finish this book. I could barely get started. It took the author page after page of stodgy, congested prose to say very little. The sheer weight of the volume deterred me from anything after the first tortured plot point, which was more like a plot continuum.
19. Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction, by Sue Townsend
I read this book with some consternation. It was too readable to abandon, yet too problematic to enjoy. The main problem it posed was that it is about the 99th book in a long series of "Adrian Mole" novels by author Townsend, beginning when the protagonist was 13 years old. It would certainly have been easier for me if I had read any of the 98 predecessors, but I am woefully ignorant of British pop culture and entered the fray unprepared. Oh well.
On the plus side, it is largely written in the epistolary style, which I find quaintly endearing.
20. Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption, by Laura Hillenbrand
An unforgettable and beautifully written biography of Louis Zamperini, a track prodigy and Olympic runner who was shot down over the Pacific during World War II. The young airman's ordeal in a plastic raft and as a Japanese prisoner of war will simultaneously tear your heart out and inspire you.
This is a superb book in every respect, telling a true story with painstaking verisimilitude and detail, along with the pacing, characterization, and balance of a fine novel. If you wonder why they're called "The Greatest Generation," this book will inform you as to the answer.
21. The Cheese Monkeys: A Novel in Two Semesters, By Chip Kidd
A coming of age story of an innocent young man in art school, studying that new discipline, graphic arts. The protagonist finds himself under the influence of wanton women and maniacal art teachers. Is this autobiographical? Certainly not. Maybe.
22. They Eat Puppies, Don't they?: A Novel, by Christopher Buckley
I've been a big fan of Christoper Buckley since reading his first novel, "Steaming to Bamboola" about a million years ago. His second book, "The White House Mess," an amusingly titled political satire disguised as a story about the guy in charge of the President's Kitchen, was a hit and established his literary direction. Since then, Buckley has been master of the genre of political-satire-by-infiltration; kind of the novelistic equivalent of Stephen Colbert's TV personality. Usually he does a fine job, but not in this effort. I finished this send-up of US-China relations out of loyalty, but it really didn't measure up to Buckley's normal quality.
23. The Mind's Eye, by Oliver Sacks
The engaging English psychologist writes once again about how trauma and disease gives us a glimpse into how the mind works. In this volume he relates the story of how he loses sight in one eye, and how that affects the way he sees and thinks.
24. The Jungle, by Upton Sinclair
A heartbreaking story of immigrant life in America in the early days of the 20th Century. Sinclair makes a compelling case for implementation and reform of work laws, consumer product safety laws, political campaign laws, and a multitude of others. The conclusion he arrives at, apropos of the time, is socialism.
25. The Jungle Book, by Rudyard Kipling
A classic collections of stories from England's Victorian storyteller.
26. Food Rules, by Michael Pollan
Because America is relatively young collection of people from other cultures, no truly indigenous American cuisine has ever existed. Not only does what we eat have a multitude of origins, but this country was formed by hard working, unreflective pioneers with little time to enjoy the subtler pleasures of life. Consequently, refined eating and quality food have never played a significant role in this country.
A country without its own cuisine is a country adrift in the kitchen, and, as Pollan has written elsewhere, most Americans don't have a clue about what to eat. In this slim volume, the author gives us a series of simple rules of thumb that we can use as a guide to good eating.
The foremost, and overarching, rule that Pollan arms us with is this excellent one:
Eat food, not too much, mostly leaves.
The first two words of this axiom are freighted with meaning, as Pollan has often pointed out, most of what Americans consume is not really "food" at all, but an edible, food-like substance made from highly processed corn.
27. That Old Cape Magic, by Richard Russo
Russo, one of my favorite novelists, let me down with this effort. Russo's metier is crafting characters who carefully teeter between annoying and lovable. In this book, he lets his people err on the side of annoying. The protagonist's parents, whose role in the narrative is to be the archetypes-of-annoying, are fascinating and interesting, but they needed to be balanced by characters more lovable.
28. Parrot and Olivier In America, by Peter Carey
I really enjoyed this excellent and amusing book. It's a historical novel, a comedy, a satire, and a romp. Carey tells the story of two Europeans, a working class English rogue and a French Noble, on their 1831 trip to America together.
The novel is rich and complex, the characters improbably multifaceted, and their personalities and backgrounds impossibly different, yet they are thrust together to visit the New World. Hilarity, with a colossally bright wit and of an atmospheric scope, ensues. The book satirizes everything it touches, with a grace and color hard to find.
evidently this novel is a send-up of Alexis de Tocqueville and his famous account of his journey to America. I have never read that work but this novel kindles my interest. Do yourself a favor and read "Parrot and Olivier." You'll have lots of fun.
29. An Object of Beauty, by Steve Martin
Martin's novel is a small and personal tale of a ruthless and beautiful woman in the New York art scene.
30. Atlantic: Great Sea Battles, Heroic Discoveries, Titanic Storms, and a Vast Ocean of a Million Stories, by Simon Winchester
A detailed biography of the Atlantic Ocean. Very readable, very fascinating.
31. Summerland, by Michael Chabon
If you love elves and orcs and baseball, this is the book for you.
32. Story's Guide to Raising Chickens, by Gail Damerow
The more I live with chickens, the more I like them. The more I like them, the more interesting it is to learn about them. "Story's Guide" is the chicken rancher's bible.
33. Fobbit, by David Abrams
A novel set in the rear echelons of the Iraqi combat zone. Not epic, but worth the read. Based on the author's experience in Iraq.
34. The Myth of the Rational Market, by Justin Fox
This fascinating and readable book is exhaustively researched and clearly written. Justin Fox tells the story of an unbelievable yet remarkably durable meme: that movements of the stock market can somehow be predicted. The idea that the stock market is something other than a casino, that it is something more than just a wild gamble, that an intelligent person can rationally invest and consistently make a profit is impossible, yet our greed is so strong we conjure lies to tell ourselves otherwise, and this is the biography of those lies.
The intriguing tale of how an absurd idea can become widely accepted as true comes to life in the narrative, along with those economists and thinkers who fight back against the notion. The author is a scrupulous journalist, and he holds his point of view in check throughout, believing–correctly–that the sheer implausibility of the historical facts make his point better than could any editorial emphasis he might add.
In 2011, I attended an exclusive technology conference at a swanky resort in Phoenix, Arizona. During the lunch break I happened to sit across the table from a bright young man and we struck up a conversation. We couldn't have come from more different backgrounds: He was an East Coast literary intellectual with Ivy League credentials, while I'm a Californian, ex-hippie, technology entrepreneur. We liked each other immediately. His name was Justin Fox, the author of this book.
Fox's day job is the editorial director for the Harvard Business Review, and he writes about economics for Time magazine. He said he would send me a copy of his book and was gracious and thoughtful enough to remember to actually do so when he returned home. I sent him a copy of my book in return.
I'm a computer geek, and not a scholar of finance or investment or the men who dominate those fields, so I had no expectations of recognizing any of the players in the drama. However, as the book unfolded I was astonished to discover many names whose work I was already familiar with in the fields of computer science and cognitive psychology. These scientists and researchers played significant roles in the fields of finance and economics, including John von Neumann, Benoit Mandelbrot, Daniel Kahneman, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and Amos Tversky. What a fascinating surprise!
This is a great book and I highly recommend it. In particular, if you wonder how the financial establishment trashed the American economy in 2008, you will find the answer here.
35. Bossypants, by Tina Fey
This memoir of a TV comedienne is an amusing trifle.
36. I, Claudius, by Robert Graves
The 1934 book describes the reign of the Claudian Emperors of Rome, including their intrigues and excesses, some 2000 years ago. This is an interesting and worthwhile historical novel but I found the first person, memoir-style writing problematic. There was simply too much telling and not enough showing.
37. War Games: Inside the World of Twentieth Century War Reenactors, by Jenny Thompson
Most of us a familiar with Civil War reenactors. They teach us ancient history by showing us how the combatants lived and died in the compelling drama of simulated battle. There is another diverse group of reenactors, though, whose interest is in World War I and World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and even Iraq and Afghanistan. These reenactors tend to hide from the limelight, unlike their 19th Century counterparts, because many of the participants in the real events are still alive, as are the emotions surrounding the conflict. Author Thompson does a good, albeit leisurely, job of showing us the moral fuzziness in this emotional milieu.
38. Comrades and Chicken Ranchers: The Story of a California Jewish Community, by Kenneth L. Kann
This book is an oral biography of many of the Jewish immigrants who came to Petaluma California in the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. It also interviews their children, grandchildren, friends, and a few neighbors and associates. It tells the story of an immigrant community that was at once utterly representative of the American melting pot while being just as utterly unique in the way that only a deeply ethnic minority can be.
Two years ago, my wife and I moved to Petaluma, so this is very relevant history for me. When I mention the book and the story of the Petaluma Jews to my new neighbors, they nod knowingly and give me additional fascinating tidbits. The Jews didn't create the chicken ranching business in Petaluma, but they were prominent practitioners of it, and eggs and chickens were big business here in the years before, and just after, WWII.
39. Notes From a Small Island, by Bill Bryson
This book chronicles Bryson's farewell tour of England after 20 years of residency there. He decided to take one last look at the island nation before returning to his native Iowa. Bryson is a good storyteller, always interesting, and at times he can be hilarious.
40. The Windup Girl, by Paolo Bacigalupi
The last book I read in 2012 might well be the best book of the year, and certainly one of the most fun. The novel, set in Thailand a hundred years or so in the future, when energy is scarce and disease wrought by genetically modified foods are plentiful, is a gripping story of intrigue and smoky atmosphere.
I am not a fan of deus ex machina fantasies like those of Tolkien and Rowling. I'm much more interested in the defensible extrapolation style of Heinlein and Asimov. Bacigalupi stays clearly within the lines of straight-up science fiction, and the backdrop of steamy Southeast Asia powered by spring engines is immensely satisfying.
The plot surprised me at every turn. Even the eponymous character of the windup girl didn't make her appearance until chapter three, and then her essential purpose in the story wasn't clear for several more chapters. The twists continued right up until the very end.
Bacigalupi's prose is every bit as atmospheric as Alan Furst's, easy to read yet richly layered. I highly recommend this book.

love poem
As we talked my bangles clacked accross the table
You slipped them from my wrist and I let you
I watched you push them to the center of the table beside our coffee rings
and then all that was left to say was so...
I wanted to blurt out something random
Something about how I always press caps lock
Silence stretches accross the table
Has us both fidgetting with my bangles
Both us screaming just take my hand
But we cant
I dont know why but we just cant
If our hands touch, they touch
but we just cant seem to just clasp them
Or entwine them together.
That would mean something.
Something we both wont say.

Close to the Floor
|Tuesday October 11th 7:30 PM
|Strathspey Place Performing Arts Centre
|$35/30 Reserved Seating
It's all about the dance! With local dancers, Irish sean-nós, some modern Highland dance, Ottawa Valley style, and a band that was born at Celtic Colours, this concert promises to delight and amaze. Close to the Floor is another favourite of our concert goers, taking on a different vibe and direction each year. We'll celebrate many styles of dance for our 20th anniversary with some local favourites and new faces and feet as well. We'll show how closely the Irish sean-nós style is to our own Cape Breton steps as we demonstrate once again just how vital the passing down of tradition is. Don't hesitate to get your tickets to this concert. Maybe you'll even kick up your heels dancing out of Strathspey Place! Nearby Meal: Port Hood Roast Beef Dinner

Reviews For Vitamin D3 400 IU Sunny Gummies™
Based on 7 Reviews
Chewable vitamin D(Rainbow light)
Great product. My daughter loves it:) It tastes great as well...
- Veronica
Blame winter
The sun doesn't shine as much in the winter and when it's super cold neither I nor the kids get enough sun. That's why we have these tasty gummies on hand.
No worry about my kids not liking them, they love the taste. They say it tastes like candy, so they like when they need them!
- Usah Dahl
Hat swallowing pills
I absolutely abhor swallowing pills. I also work indoors with not a lot of windows, so it's important for me to get my vitamin D. I love these healthy gummies that give me the D I need when I can't get in the sunshine. They taste great and are easy to swallow!
- Odelle Hellig
Good natural vitamins
I love these Vitamin D gummies. First, they taste wonderful, exactly like sour lemon drops, but gummies instead, with no artificial flavors or sugar. Second, they're all natural, so if you're on a gluten free or soy free diet, these vitamins will fit right in with your healthy lifestyle. Third, Thrive has these for a fantastic price, better than the vitamin store and online retailers. So, there's no reason not to try these. They give you the Vitamin D you need, they taste great and they're all natural.
- Gail M.
Great for the kids
I bought these for my kids, but now the whole fully uses them. They're great vitamins if you want more Vitamin D in your body, and they're all natural, so there's no added chemicals or preservatives or anything in them that are not organically sourced. I like knowing that I'm not giving my kids anything other than good vitamins that can help them stay active and healthy. And they have an awesome lemony taste that my kids love. They think it's candy!
- Guy May
Unique Gummy Taste
Unlike most gummy vitamins that seem to be insanely sweet or literally covered in sugar (I've seen some gummy vitamins that have over 50+ calories just to take your daily vitamins), these have a very different taste. Instead, they actually are more on the tangy and sour side. It makes it a very unique taste, but it's not something I want to follow with certain types of foods. Think of it as an orange juice sort of taste. Gluten-free and soy-free, this even has a pretty cute package to it that's hard for my kids to get into. I've never had a problem getting them to take these vitamins even though I've had to fuss with them over other brands.
- Ashe
Doctor recommended these - daughter loves them!
My daughter's doctor recommended this Vitamin D specifically. My daughter loves them and takes them without pause. Only issue I have is that they tend to get stuck together, so don't leave them in proximity to rising steam (like on counter over dishwasher!)
- Renee

eliza says
this exhibition looks amazing! film wise i've seen a fair few films by burton (had to check imdb though!)…my absolute favourite when i was younger was beetlejuice! i also really love edward scissorhands. if you're looking for films just look burton up on imdb.com & it'll give you a list of everything hes directed/produced 🙂
daisychain says
this is incredible thank you for sharing.
knk says
tim is very intelligent very creative i like him great exhibition
April says
ahh yay thanks for posting this! despite at least 3 trips to NYC during the time this exhibit was up, i never made it! 🙁
Twobreadsplease says
looks like an incredible exhibition, wish i could go! x
K.M. says
i would so love to go see this! i've been a fan of his for so long (like everyone else in the world i guess)- he inspired so many theatre and art projects i did at school! film wise, definitely check out ed wood and beetle juice, and you should get a copy of the melancholy death of oyster boy and other stories, it has some great illustrations and the poems are cute and sad.
Winnie says
You're so lucky to have seen this. I realised after reading this post, I was totally on about Tim Walker, not burton. Both very cool though. I think my fave Burton film is Sleepy Hollow?
As if there was a queue to go around the exhib! Glad you didn't stick to it!
I love Tim Burton, he is one of my favorite directors, and his films always make me smile and feel creeped out. Do you have a favorite?
* Reena Rai * says
Wow how amazing! Bloody love Tim Burton, looks and sounds like the best exhibition ever
Kristen says
Love this! Thank you so much for sharing!
Dee says
Probably Nightmare Before Christmas. My mom wouldn't let me watch it when it came out because she thought it looked weird (duh, basis of its appeal) so when I finally got to watch it in high school I was r e a l obsessed with it. Sweet pictures of the exhibit. That must have been really fun to go through 🙂
KIRAFASHION says
He is a genius!
Fashion Conservative says
Amazing photos for those of us who can't travel to New York for the exhibition! Thank you!

text: Was it just me or did anyone else get that here we go again feeling. The game was playing out the same pattern as last year and last week. The Cowboys come out strong dictating on offense and defense. Only to allow the other team to "hang" around, then lose the game in the 4th quarter. That didn't happen this time. We watched this young defense grew up yeasterday, they learned how to close out a game. Maybe it was because of what happened last year, but this team actually turned it up in the 3rd and 4th quarters. They played thier hearts out for 60:00 minutes. Instead of looking around for someone else to make a play, they all turned it up a notch like true champions. It was exciting to watch. I think we will be able to look back to this game as a turning point. This is the game this team learned how to put thier foot on the other teams throat.

Dear Spammers (or, "high volume email deployers") –
Thank you for your recent plethora of e-mails describing your fine Rolex wares. But I should tell you, before you waste another processing cycle on flooding my Junk Mail folder, that I don't wear watches. I have tried in the past, but I just can't adopt a watch into my lifestyle. Between my cell phone, PDA, laptop, and the in-brain computer tracking device they give us when we start at Microsoft <g>, I have plenty of ways to determine what time it is. And if all of those devices fail, I can just look at the sun. Scratch that… I live in Seattle… well, surely at least one of those devices will be working at any given time.
Nevertheless, thank you for your time and the multitude of offers. But I am too busy making "$25,000 per week working from home" and "earning my college d1pl0ma."
Yours truly –
Brian Keller
