Postcards from Laughlin
Just to clear something up, I am not writing this from the southern Nevada community of Laughlin, known more for it's annual motorcycle rally than anything else (save for a BBC series that, I think, was not as successful as they would have liked).
The next Fedora release — by number it's 14, by codename it's Laughlin — is named after the Nobel laureate physics professor Robert B. Laughlin, now teaching just over the hill at Stanford.
The code name is just Laughlin, not Lucky Laughlin, or Leery Laughlin. It's just Laughlin, named with the Fedora convention that $PREVIOUS_RELEASE_CODENAME is a (blank) and so is $NEXT_RELEASE_CODENAME. Fedora 13 was named Goddard, the rocket scientist and physicist, so Goddard is a physicist and so is Laughlin. Simple, no?
For the last month or so I've been running Fedora 14 Alpha on one of my laptops because I could. So while the Fedora 14 Beta installs on it to continue my foray into pre-release fun, I thought I'd give you my first impressions of the first wave of the new Fedora release.
First things first — what you're hearing on the FOSS media regarding Fedora 14 about the changes being mostly behind the curtain are essentially true. Many of the coughs and hiccups that I encountered were things that normally do not affect the outward performance of Fedora, and while I did not document them other than to file bug reports, they were few and far between.
Despite the improvements under the hood, this is not to say that the functionality and outward appearance are lacking. Quite the contrary: The design team — probably the best of any distro on this planet, if not the solar system or galaxy — nailed the desktop yet again, and it looks outstanding across desktop environments. KDE allows a test drive of version 4.5.1 those who want to try F14 Beta.
Once I get the beta version going I'll give an update.

If you're running Alpha and doing regular 'yum update's, you've got the Beta already. There's no need to reinstall.

I have been waiting for this week's top ten ever since the list was posted in January! There are so many fabulous authors that I want EVERYONE to read! I had to be brutal in the cuts I made! ***Note: These are not in any order. I loves them alls!***
1. Anne Osterlund: I have amazon to thank for "discovering" Anne's books. I was ordering a book and needed a few more dollars for free shipping. Aurelia was one of the recommended books so I added it. Instant love! When I finished it I knew that I MUST read Academy 7 (even though it was set in space) and I adored that one as well. I'm reading her upcoming release Exile right now and it does not disappoint!
2. Sherwood Smith: If you're a fan of Tamora Pierce and you've not read Sherwood Smith you're missing out! High fantasy, adventure, a bit of romance and kick butt heroines make her books fabulous! These are definitely books that you don't want to judge by their covers! I read Court Duel because of a recommendation from Anne Osterlund. As soon as I finished I went to my local bookstore for more but they didn't carry any more of her YA titles (She also rights fabulous books for adults.) I've also read and enjoyed A Posse of Princesses, Once a Princess, Twice a Prince, Wren to the Rescue, Wren's Quest, and The Trouble with Kings.
3. Sarwat Chadda: I NEED there to be a third book to Chadda's Billi SanGreal series! I loved both Devil's Kiss and Dark Goddess (see my review here.) I was able to go to one of Sarwat Chadda and Rachel Hawkins tour stops earlier this month and it was AWESOME! Seriously. the man had the audience acting out scenes with swords and such. Read. His. Books. NOW!
4. Cindy Pon: This woman knows how to captivate her readers! In Silver Phoenix she builds a story that draws you in and won't let you go! I am thrilled that Fury of the Phoenix releases today! I think I'm going to be too sick to go to work the day it arrives in the mail 😉
5. Melina Marchetta: Yes, she won the Printz award (for Jellicoe Road in 2009) but there are still so many US YA readers who have never heard of/read any of her books. Her stories are so powerful and just beautiful! I absolutely adored Saving Francesca and The Piper's Son (see my review of The Piper's Son here and my interview with the author here.) In Australia (where she is from) her book Looking for Alibrandi has won many awards. She also has a fantasy series that starts with Finnikin of the Rock.
6. Jordan Sonnenblick: I read Jordan Sonnenblick's first novel Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie because we had the playaway in our school library and I used it as an example of how they work. After listening to the first chapter approximately 15 times and cracking up EVERY TIME I had to read the rest! His books do a great job of capturing what it's like to be a teen… all the changes, decisions, and crazy things you do. Notes from the Midnight Driver has a hilarious incident with an unfortunate lawn gnome and Zen and the Art of Faking It looks at a "new kid" who takes a different approach to trying to fit in. His most recent book, After Ever After, won a Schneider Family Book Award (check out my review here.) It made me BAWL!
7. Rosemary Clement-Moore: I am SO looking forward to her next book Texas Gothic. I thought The Splendor Falls was absolutely gorgeous. The way the author draws you in to the setting and story made me want to start applying for jobs down South. It's a very lush and haunting story!
8. Saundra Mitchell: I first heard about Saundra Mitchell's book Shadowed Summer at a seminar about the best of the best books in YA literature. The presenter read a brief section and I was sold! Saundra Mitchell's words are just so beautiful! As Carrie Ryan said at her recent signing… If I could I would eat her words! The Vespertine has gotten a bit more recognition. I posted a very long gushing review on my love for that book! It has all the elements I adore… mystery, history, fantasy, and romance!
9. Marissa Doyle: The London society in the 1800s, mystery, romance, magic and twin sisters who won't be bound by convention… how can you go wrong? Bewitching Season and Betraying Season combine these elements superbly! Goodreads says that a third Leland Sisters book is to be published this year but I've not found any other info on that. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
10. David Randall: I ordered the first three books in Randall's In the Shadow of the Bear series my first year in my LMC job (Clovermead, Chandlefort, Sorrel) I don't recall how I ran across the title but I remember reading a blurb by Tamora Pierce and great reviews from sources I trusted. This was enough to convince me to try it out. It's definitely high fantasy. There is action, adventure, mystery, secrets and a whole lot of good versus evil. My students and I loved it! We were so sad that the fourth book wasn't going to be published! Thankfully the author self-published it this year so you can read Ursus to see how the final battle ends!
There were so many more authors that I wanted to include (Carrie Ryan, Jennifer Lynn Barnes, Sarah Rees Brennan, Maureen Johnson) but I felt that these were the "least recognized" out of them. I hope you'll give a few a try! If you've read any of them what did you think?

L.A. Noire: The Complete Edition
L.A. Noire is set in Los Angeles in 1947 and challenges the player, controlling a Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officer, to solve a range of cases across five divisions. Players must investigate crime scenes for clues, follow up leads, and interrogate suspects, and the player's success at these activities will impact how much of each case's story is revealed.
The game draws heavily from both the plot and aesthetic elements of film noir, stylistic films made popular in the 1940s and 1950s that share similar visual styles and themes, including crime and moral ambiguity. The game uses a distinctive colour palette, but in homage to film noir it includes the option to play the game in black and white. Various plot elements reference the major themes of detective and mobster stories such as Key Largo, Chinatown, The Untouchables, The Black Dahlia, and L.A. Confidential.
L.A. Noire is notable for using Depth Analysis's newly developed technology MotionScan, whereby the actors portraying the game's characters were recorded by 32 surrounding cameras to capture facial expressions from every angle. The technology is central to the game's interrogation mechanic, as players must use the suspects' reactions to questioning to judge whether or not they are lying. L.A. Noire was the first video game to be shown at the Tribeca Film Festival. Upon release, the game received wide acclaim for its advances in storytelling and facial animation technology. As of February 2012, both PC and console versions had shipped nearly 5 million copies combined.
