Airman (2008)
by Eoin Colfer
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Too much politics & intrigue, not enough about the desire to fly or the workshop, hardly any wit or humor. Didn't feel like a Colfer book at all. [b:The Supernaturalist|45432|The Supernaturalist|Eoin Colfer|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1233460677s/45432.jpg|1019140] was more sophisticated than Artemis Fowl but at least it still had fun bits.
This was a fun read. There were heroes and villains doing truly heroic and villainous things in an imaginary setting. The story engaged me from beginning to end. It is listed as teen fiction, but I enjoyed it.
Irish author Eoin Colfer, creator of the Artemis Fowl series, spins a classic adventure story set in the fin de siècle era on the Saltee Islands off the coast of Ireland. In this story, the Saltees are home to a fictional sovereign kingdom which bases its economy on diamond mining. The protagonist of the story is Conor Broekhart who is friend of the daughter of the island's progressive, American-born king. Conor shows an early proclivity towards science and engineering and when he is 14 he is framed for the murder of the king and sent to prison/mining colony. It's up to young Conor to escape from prison and save the kingdom through his knowledge of flying machines. The outcome is never in doubt but Colfer spins an entertaining yarn with a lot of action and many memorable characters. John Keating does a magnificent job of narrating this escapist story.
I listened to this as an audio book and enjoyed the narrator. This is classified as a kids book and I guess it is... But I like kids book like this especially in audio as the excitement and adventure packed into them remind me of what helped build my love for reading as a youngster.
As an adult some unfolding events are predictable, but the way they play out is quite enjoyable.
Young Connor is brave and smart which ends up getting him into trouble. He lands in a slave prison and spends 2 years planning his escape and return to his family and position. His love of flying, (beginning with his birth in a hydrogen balloon) helps him on his way.
I really liked the story and you can't help but root for Connor and his friends
Conor Broekhart has grown up as the best friend of the princess of the Saltee kingdom (an imaginary kingdom off of Ireland). But when he discovers a conspiracy to kill the king, the real traitor captures him and sends him to a prison camp to mine diamonds in obscurity. Conor must use his genius for flight to escape the prison and rescue the princess. Conor is much like a 19th century steampunk Artemis Fowl. Colfer delivers his usual book - fun, delightful, and humorous. Definitely a treat for fans of non-dystopia non-paranormal-romance YA. (YAY! for something different!) I'd say this book is appropriate for 5th - 8th graders.

He must escape and clear his name; he wants his old life back - his family, his friends...and his princess. Conor knows there is only one way out. It's an impossible task, which has never been done before. But Conor is determined to do it. He'll have to fly. Swashbuckling new fiction from the amazing Eoin Colfer, ideal for readers aged 11+.

In the late nineteenth century, when Conor Broekhart discovers a conspiracy to overthrow the king, he is branded a traitor, imprisoned, and forced to mine for diamonds under brutal conditions while he plans a daring escape from Little Saltee prison by way of a flying machine that he must design, build, and, hardest of all, trust to carry him to safety.… (more)

Listen to Carmelo Anthony discuss Steph Curry's big night.
Coming very soon to an actual Knicks game…
Much of the speculation around the return of Jeremy Lin to Madison Square Garden Monday night has been about how he's received. Will he be D'Antoni'd? Ewing'd? Or something in between? Al Iannzone, the Knicks' beat reporter for Newsday, seemed to endorse a cheer at intros, followed by booing every… Read More →
Watch Amar'e work on the jump shot. The work he did bursting to the hoop was even more encouraging.
Let's face it: Monday night's game between the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets was destined to provide more hype than any November game could deliver. But by virtue of the rescheduling, this game is far more relevant to the ultimate goals of both teams than we'd have realized back… Read More →
For me, tonight's matchup between the Knicks and the New Orleans Hornets will be watching Anthony Davis, the talented rookie, go up against Tyson Chandler. Davis is averaging 16 points and 8.3 rebounds per game, but he's really been considerably above or below those averages. He has three games of… Read More →
Some interesting insights from Mike Woodson. The whole thing is linked in the post under this one. He's eloquent about the role he sees the Knicks as playing tonight in the context of the recovery. In short, on players: Rasheed Wallace is available, but will play based on matchups. Marcus… Read More →
Good morning! If you are reading this on your home computer, you have more power than I do. Congratulations! Hug your thermostat. In a little while, I will begin my trek into Manhattan, to make sure I am at Madison Square Garden in plenty of time to provide you with… Read More →

Jimmy Choo Shoes
If you were fortunate enough to afford to indulge in a shoe-shopping spree in the London borough of Hackney in the late 1980s, you might have stumbled upon a brick showroom filled with thigh-high black-leather boots, multi-colored sandals, and hot-pink satin high heels produced by a Malaysian-born designer named Jimmy Choo. Though acclaimed at the time, you would have beaten the crowds to Choo's shoes, which became red-hot in 1990 after a woman the world knew simply as Di became one of his most loyal customers.
Throughout the 1990s, Choo footwear defined women's glamour. By 1996 he had partnered with a magazine editor to launch a chain of high-end boutiques—the opening in 1999 of Choo's Los Angeles branch caught the eye of Hollywood starlets, giving Choo shoes their red-carpet-ready reputation.
Among Choo's most sought-after designs are his ankle boots, including the George, whose four-inch heel supports an upper of water-snake leather, the Erica, whose carved heel measures four-and-a-half inches, and the black patent leather Chicago, which has a revealing V cutout on the side.
In addition to a plethora of caged-ankle pumps, Choo's most prized items of footwear could be his sandals, which range from demure flats to sexy, strappy affairs with two-to-four-inch heels. The ones with gold or silver metallic sling backs are especially eye-catching, if not the most practical things to wear to the beach.

I have downloaded Adobe Digital Editions, and successfully borrowed a number of Public Library ePub books, and transferred them to my nook. And, as promised, when the lending period was over, the Library ebooks removed themselves, and went back to the Library on their own. (A MAJOR advantage, IMHO!)
However, the titles are still listed in My Documents on my nook. Not too much of a problem, but since I will be borrowing more library ePub books than purchasing at bn.com, I would imagine that this might tend to fill up the pages in My Documents.
Is there any way to remove the titles? Of course, when you click "open", there is a message that the book has expired, so it's not taking up significant memory, just space on the page.
Any ideas?

nanashi's recommendation
Okay, just banish all thought in your head about bikers, Jim Morrison, Madonna, Ross Geller and Iggy Pop. Ready? Now consider this: leather pants. Or shorts actually. Yes, leather pants are dead hot this season (literally and figuratively.... summer was not a good time for these items to come back into fashion), and whether or not your brave another to take part, you'd better at least take note. First lesson: leather shorts; the coolest (literally, this time) way to wear leather bottoms this season. They do not conjure images of cowboys, or junkie rockstars, or t.v. charactors, and if you're a little self-consious about wearing skin-tight skin on your skin, these shorts are pleated below the waist line, to make the shorts fulller. And if you still remember the episode of Friends (I know, I'm a t.v. geek) where Ross gets his leather pants stuck on: these shorts are lined in silk so its easy come, easy go.

Shayne Lamas: Coyote Ugly Birthday Bash
Imbibing in a Sin City celebration, Shayne Lamas rang in her 24th birthday at Coyote Ugly Saloon inside the New York, New York Hotel in Las Vegas on Friday night (November 6).
The blonde reality star was surrounded by her sexy gal pals and a few lucky gentlemen friends as the group drank, danced and even hit the stage for an amateur pole dance exhibition.
Miss Lamas most recently made headlines with her harsh comments directed at fellow busty blonde Shauna Sand - who found herself involved in a sex tape debacle.
Of the incident, Shayne told TMZ, "It's no shock that Shauna basically gave her seal of approval on the tape. She will probably try to get producing and directing credit as well. I hear it's pretty hardcore and she does all her own stunts too! There has never really been much of a difference between Shauna and a blowup doll... Cheap, mostly plastic and a head full of air. She is pure trash."

STAMFORD, Conn. -- A new study by finance magazine Kiplinger's has ranked Stamford as the fifth-most expensive city in America to live in.
Stamford was included on the list, alongside much larger cities such as New York, San Francisco and Washington, D.C.
The study reported that Stamford has a median household income of $76,797 and a median home value of $537,300.
Stamford is is ranked as expensive because of the high cost of living, which ranges from 8 percent to 27 percent above average. Housing costs alone are nearly double the national average, according to the report.
As expensive as Stamford is, however, it's more affordable than living in the most expensive city on the list, New York, to which many Stamford residents commute.

Okay, this is driving me nuts!My front door's deadlock has a eurolock cylinder. The barrel is now almost completely seized. I have bought a replacment, but I can't find any way of removing the old one.To remove it involves turning the key through about 15 degrees and then withdrawing the barrel (after removing one screw). The problem is that the barrel is seized and I can't turn it through 15 degrees.I have squirted WD40 into the barrel and tried cycle chain lubricant spread on the key, but nothing seems to be working.Is my only option to attempt to drill the barrel out, and does this work?
From memory, there is a very sturdy lug sticking out that operates the bolt action that needs to be in line with the rest of the narrow section of the eurolock, hence the need to turn the key.You could try giving the lock a few light taps and see if that will free up the tumblers. I wouldn't wallop it too hard though. Also slide the key in and out a lot, and keep dosing it with lube.IANA locksmith.Bob
Apply WD40 liberally & leave overnight.Lightly tap, lubricate and re-try the lock.If that fails....locksmith/ new lock.
Check your buildings insurance to see if failed locks or lost keys are covered.
I have drilled out the barrel from a Eurolock in the past as a last resort, BUT it was the only a upvc door on the shed and I didn't have an original key in order to turn the barrel by the 15 degrees in order to remove it. The consequences of making a complete hash of it were quite acceptable.I only did this as it was a door to the garden shed.It took quite a long time and I found I needed to work up in several drill sizes. Care was taken as you are only trying to drill away the pins and springs. I found that once most of the springs had been drilled through I could force the barrel to rotate enough to remove the lock using a strong screw driver. The key technique is drill out the pins and springs whilst leaving as much of the cylinder intact as possible.If it has been my front door with the possibility of damaging other parts of the mechanism and being left with an unusable door I would have bitten the bullet and called in a professional locksmith who will probably be able to use his tools and expertise to get the barrel to turn and in any case will be more skilled and have more practice in drilling out barrels. Locksmiths will also know other techniques and may be able to snap off the lock if the front protrudes enough.In the first instance I would try lubricating the lock and applying vibration/ shock to the lock to attempt to free any stuck pins which are probably preventing you turning the barrel. I would also try any spare keys you may have for the lock as sometimes cutting tolerances and wear may have an effect.Goodluck and would be interested in what you decide and how it goes.
...The key technique...HOHO!There are lots of videos on YouTube of people breaking into Euro Cylinder locks - maybe one of their techniques might help you? I wouldn't use a Euro Cylinder having watched some of these.

BLEH! can you help?
Alright, so it is my off season and I am looking at potential boards. The problem is, I don't really know which size would suite me well. I have seen all the charts and things about height and weight, but none go up to my size.
I am 6' tall and about 245 lbs. I am not super fat, but not super ripped, you could picture me as a football player kind of size (I used to play football). right now I have a Burton triumph 164 and it is a more all-mountain oriented board. It has nitro raiden bindings on it. I don't think I need a wide board because my boot size is a 9.5.
I ride all types of stuff, but usually non powder days. My burton is perfect powder and I can still use that. so I am looking for a more park-oriented board with a little all-mountain also. any tips on what board and what size?

vessel sink HELP
Installed a vessel sink and granite counter top. The total distance from from the top where the drain goes to the bottom of granite counter is 2 7/8 inches. I have purchased 2 drains and they are short. Been to plumbing supply stores and they say they don't make threaded extensions. I need help. I need an either an extension that I am able to thread and tighten or a drain that is at least 3" so I can tighten so the sink will not leak. Any help is appreciated.
maybe this will help
They do make a few drain styles that should work seeing that this type of sink is popular. the drain may have a push down pop up style and they also have a style that you lift up and push down. these tend to have a longer thread pattern. check online stores and other outlets other than your supply house. you may have to spend a lot on this but it may help. try this link check the specs tab. good luck

Juan Pedro Vazquez, Flying Sommelier
What a gorgeous wine this is in my glass, dense, deep ruby red and vibrant. On the nose, I am getting mature fruits, cedar, vanilla. This wine has been aged in French oak for 1 year and then left to age further in bottle. The winery only releases this wine as a "reserva" in excellent years, similar to vintage champagne (which is only made in top quality years). While the wine is delicious, I think it will only to continue to get better over the next few years. Luckily I have another bottle to lay down! This Quinta da Pacheca Reserva goes very well, surprisingly, with roast cod (a very typical Portuguese dish)- crushing the myth that red wines cannot be enjoyed with fish. My opinion? Get your hands on a bottle of this as soon as you can!
Our Rating: 96/100
Type: Red Wine
Appellation: Douro VQPRD
Region: Douro Valley, Portugal
Grape Composition: Touriga Nacional, Touriga Francesa, and Tinta Roriz
Pairing: Roast Cod (Bacalhau Assada), also roast meats and rich cheeses
Vineyard Tours at Quinta da Pacheca
Quinta da Pacheca is definitely one of the most hospitable wineries in Portugal, and a supreme pleasure to visit. The estate is one of the most well known properties in the entire Douro Valley and one of the first to bottle under their own name. This gorgeous estate dates back to the 1700's, when it was named after its aristocratic owner, Mariana Pacheca Pereira. The vines pertained to an order of monks for centuries before that. In 1903, the count Jos Freire de Serpa Leito Pimentel became the new owner. He installed new "Lagares" in 1916, and these are still used today to vinify the wines...
Enjoy a Private Cruise on the Douro River!
These luxury Port wine tasting tours are designed for those looking for a deeper appreciation of Portugal's superb wines, while taking in dramatic scenery and charming villages. Above all, you will be eating and sleeping in style. The tour begins in Oporto, Portugal's most atmospheric city. You'll be collected by your own private chauffeur and swept away to a romantic hidden Relais & Chateaux, located in the beautiful countryside of Northern Portugal. Over the next few days, you'll enjoy a private Rabelo cruise on the mighty Douro Valley, taste wine in colonial style "Quintas" and historic port lodges, and dine at two of the best restaurants in the region...

Private Cooking Classes in Bologna
Bolognas most emblematic dish is the simple and delicious Tagliatelle Bolognese. Nobody does it better than at the Vecchia Scuola di Cucina, an excellent cooking school in this beautiful city. Enjoy the recipe!
Tagliatelle Bolognese
* 600 grams of flour
* 6 eggs
* 60 grams of onions
* 25 grams of carrots
* 20 grams of celery
* 1 tablespoon of lard
* 300 grabs of minced beef
* 2 tablespoons of tomato "passata"
* salt and pepper to taste
Pasta making class
Fresh tagliatelle pasta is preferable, but there are excellent brands of dried pasta such as Barilla, cooked "al dente". To make the sauce, begin by browning the onions in a deep pan, along with the celery, carrots and lard. Slowly add in the beef to brown and spoon in the tomato passata and salt and pepper to your taste. Be careful not to use too much passata or the sauce will be too liquidy. Serve with freshly shaved Parmigiano cheese and enjoy with a glass of something special!
Michelin Starred Chef at Akelarre, Pedro Subijana
The first thing that strikes you when you walk into this mythical 3 Michelin starred San Sebastian classic, is the view. Imagine being on a bluff, completely surrounded by the gorgeous Cantabrian sea. The location of this restaurant and the views are simply breathtaking. Like other Michelin starred venues, the best way to dine is to try the chef's taster menu. The chef, in this case, is the very charming Pedro Subijana (with his unforgettable mustache). Mr. Subijana is an international phenomenon, along the lines of Ferran Adri, but somehow much more approachable. You will see this published chef and TV personality in the restaurant coming out to greet diners, smiling, saying hello. His cuisine is avant-garde but a large part of it is based on very traditional Spanish and Basque recipes and ingredients. Some if his signature dishes include: Tuna in Onion Paper and Tamarillo, Roast Lobster and Spiced "Balloon", Sauted Foie Gras in a Walnut Soup and Oysters in Red Swiss Chard Salad. The wine list is divine, as you would hope. On our recent visit to Akelarre we enjoyed a delicious bottle of the velvety Clos de lObac, the stunning wine made by Costers del Siurana in Spains chic Priorat region. A night here is quite unforgettable, and if you find yourself in San Sebastian we cannot recommend Akelarre enough.

Casa Das Rainhas, Óbidos
The hotel Casa das Rainhas (House of the Queens) in the gorgeous Portuguese village of Óbidos is one of the loveliest hotels we have had the pleasure to visit in years. The village of Óbidos is delightful, with a Disney-esque castle crowning the town. Narrow, cobblestoned streets lined with white washed houses spilling over with bougainvillea and ivy, enclose the castle. The Casa das Rainhas hotel has the privileged position of being right next to the castle wall, and the views from the charming bedrooms are superb. The bedrooms have been created with many thoughtful details such as scented candles, complementary local wine and goodies waiting for you in the room and plenty of magazines and books for guests to enjoy.
Room with a View
Each of the ten bedrooms is named after a different Portuguese Queen and no room is alike. Our favorite room was the romantic Tower Room, unique in its layout and with great views. The hotel is cozy and a place to stay for a few nights to really enjoy properly. The living room has a fireplace and hundreds of art books. There is an honesty bar, the first we have seen in Portugal and a wonderful touch. Above all, we have to rave about the restaurant at the hotel. It was 7 star quality and blew us away. Óbidos is a great base to see other fabulous towns like Sintra, or go enjoy fresh seafood in the coastal village of Nazare. We are pleased to feature Casa das Rainhas on some of our new food and wine routes in Óbidos, including Chocolate making classes.
