Avram Grant's record as Chelsea manager is even better than Luiz Felipe Scolari's, it has been revealed.
The Sun says the Chelsea manager has a meagre win record of just 59.1 per cent after the home defeat to Arsenal.
That is compared to the 78.2 per cent effort Jose Mourinho put together in his first season at Stamford Bridge.
The statistics are based on performances after 15 Premier League games and take in results in the Champions League and Carling Cup.
Next best after Mourinho is Tinkerman Claudio Ranieri with 77.3 per cent of games won in Roman Abramovich's first year. And he got the chop at the end of the season.
Even flop Avram Grant managed a combined win percentage of 63.6 last term. Scolari copped another blow yesterday when he was told not to expect a rouble of Red Rom's billions in January.

The St. Louis Cardinals have won the World Series twice in the past 10 years, and the team draws more than three million fans annually to Busch Stadium.

The curriculum at Stover comprises a broad, well balanced spectrum with the core subjects of Mathematics, English and Science being supported by ICT, Geography, History, Music, Drama, French, German, Spanish, Art, Home Economics, Physical Education, RE and PSE.
At GCSE pupils may chose from over twenty subjects. Stover is unusual in that the choices available are designed to meet the pupils' requirements as far as possible. Staff liaise closely with both parents and pupils to ensure that the most suitable combinations of subjects are considered. Normally pupils study nine subjects but many take the opportunity to follow more. Academic progress is monitored by a series of grades, reports and regular meetings with Form Teachers and Academic Heads of Departments.
Boys and Girls in Years 10 and 11 receive extensive careers advice and are encouraged to plan ahead. Cross-curricular skills such as Information and Communication Technology are particularly well developed and resourced throughout the school.
A Quote from Stover
There is so much to do here; the problem is deciding what to choose. I have great friends here and we get to do lots of activities, which makes a nice change from lessons.

A few of the MoArthur Orantttes, npon hear

met at the Court House on Monday nlght'to or

was caled upon to speak his little piece again-
We were not present to hear It. We are sorry
fttiout it, too. A friend, however, was present
during the delivory of the piece. He hat fur
nished us with an extract from the speech of
our friend Homer. It reads thus t
"Jefferson Davis came out of Fortress Monroe
"for Horace Greelev. And gentlemen, to-aay u.
"E. Lee is in favor 'of Horace Greeley."
What Is the matter with you, Homer t Don't
you know that Gen. R. E. Lee died more than
two years ago ? The news from North Carolina
Is entirely revolutionizing your knowledge of
the past, isn't It f It cannot be considered out
of place for us to advise Homer to say in his
next little spoech that the vlotory in North Car
Qlina shows the Irresistible tendency of the pop
u.lar ourront, and practically settles the Presi
dential eloution. Such remarks In his speeohel
would be both interesting and Instructive to hit

No troubla to Mftt question I
Quite & tragedy occurred
five miles east of Xenia Friday
morning week, on the road
leading to Jamestown. A dif
ficulty had existed for some
time between two colored men
residing in that vicinity, one
named Allen, nbout seventy
years old, the other named
Grant, aged about fifty. The
difficulty, it seems, arose out
of some jealousy harbored by
Grant against Allen, with a
woman as ttie exciting cause.
High words took" place be
tween the parties Thursday,
and on Friday Grant started
to mill, and put a loaded gun
in the wagon with him. Arri
ving at Allen's house he found
the latter in a field near by,
and commenced a quarrel.
Not many words had passed,
when Grant raised his gun,
fired at Allen and lodged a
bullet in his head, killing him
almost instantly. Grant then
drove on to mill and afterward
returned home.
The Postmasters of Vinton
county value the New York
Times, the Grant paper, highly.
Hundreds of copies of the
Times come to this county, and
as n matter of necessity are dis-
cnouiea gratuitously among
doubtful voters. Who pays for
these copies of the Times? Do
the Grant rost Masters of poor
little Vinton county have to

Times is edited by an English
man, named Jennings, who has
resided in this country almos
three years, and is yet a sub
ject of Her British Majesty.

journal remember this.

What Kind of a Bachelorette Party Do You Want?
I've been to a handful of bachelorette parties, some relaxing and some wild and crazy, but my favorite one had a little bit of both. Picking the location of your bachelorette party takes a lot of consideration, especially when factoring in a bunch of different women's preferences. If I were to plan my own, it'd be someplace warm so we could be poolside by day, but also someplace fun so we could be painting the town red by night. While I think that's a pretty common criteria for a bachelorette party, some women vote for a weekend getaway in the snow or opt to rent a house somewhere discrete and have a very mellow retreat. So tell me ladies, even if you aren't currently engaged or married, what kind of bachelorette party do you want? Do you want to relax or go all out?

Positive Feedback
The Return of Dr. Sardonicus ...My Manifesto ...Convergence ...and the BAT VK-600SE!
A very wise man once said, "Full disclosure means no conflict of interest."
When reading a critical review of anything from movies to food, it's useful to know something of the person writing it. Disclosure. This knowledge provides a context to the review process. It helps to identify the biases and eccentricities of the reviewer and provides the reader with information of potential use in understanding and contextualizing what the writer has to say.
I have not actively participated in the Positive Feedback Online editorial community for a long time. The only comment I will make about that is, if you live long and fully enough, you too will lose your joy, if only for a time. That pithy bit of homespun philosophy aside I am returning to the pages of PFO in force (I will be writing a lot). Oh, and to my dear friend and editor, David Robinson, who has been more patient with my absence than anyone else would have ...thank you, mi hermano.
So, this means I am kinda NOS (new old stock); new to a great many of the current readers, but I have been around for a bit.
At any rate ...here is the context I choose to serve up for what is to come. Context, disclaimer, caveat, or mea culpa ...you pick.
The Sardonic Manifesto
I think the most important thing is ...I know what music sounds like ...from the inside, from the outside, from the sidelines. Upside down, and inverted. It is the amniotic fluid of my existence and there are very few "musical experiences" I have not had.
Music has ruled my life since consciousness. I became a musician at the customary age, a professional musician in junior high (yes, I got paid, and regularly too). At sixteen they were sneaking me in the back of smoky bars to play. From musical theater to all-state and all-northwest band and choir, I performed in musical ensembles ranging from embarrassing madrigal groups (great way to get chicks) to heavy rock bands (I destroyed endless drum heads, and even two Speed King peddles). I played professionally into my thirties. I wasn't good enough for the show, but I was good enough not to have to work regular jobs through college, drive a nice car, and have my own apartment.
A relentless consumer of both live and recorded music, I saw Segovia, Battle, Donovan, Pavarotti, Chuck Berry, George Winston, Harry James, Buffalo Springfield, Santana, Steppenwolf, Yo Yo Ma, Ravi Shankar …and a gergillion other luminaries in venues ranging from people's basements, through smoky bars …to crowded amphitheaters.
I once wandered in to a bar in Natchitoches, Louisiana, drawn by the snake charmer strains of sweaty delta blues, only to be attacked by drunken Cajuns and forced to dance until I was anoxic by some of the sultriest women I have ever seen. Roy Rodgers even picked up his old guitar and sang me a song at lunch (well, there were four girls there too, but I am quite confident the song was for me).
Having been on both sides of the glass in recording studios, my absolute reference for recorded music is in vivo direct-feed, minimal recording chain, surround DSD recordings of live performances, (while being able to move freely between the recording control room and the actual concert in progress at any point in the venue I chose, from the stage apron to the balcony). How is that for the ultimate A-B experience?
Audio has been a part of my life since I used the first dollars I ever made from my own sweat to purchase a radio. I think it is now officially a toss-up, which has cost me more …audio, or being married. Well, at least with audio I have enjoyed it most of the time.
I am still touched and amazed the average person can have libraries of printed books, recordings of music and film in their own home. Don't you occasionally feel a sense of awe when you pop a Kurosawa film in the DVD player? Talk about a small world.
I can make a cup of fine, freshly ground Costa Rican coffee, fire up my audio system and listen to Stravinsky directing, Rites of Spring …how cool is that? I grew up without indoor plumbing. As some famous bon vivant once opined, as long as you have the luxuries of life, what need for the essentials?
Music has been berry, berry good to me. From the unadulterated joy of performing before an audience, to that wonderful tangy smell that old brass instruments give off when you open their worn cases (Wow, talk about state-dependent memories!), to the kinesthetic memory of the feel of guitar strings under my fingers, and the wind from a B-3-driven twin Leslie brushing my hair …music was, is, and always will be life's defining joy.
The cosmic string theorists say the ultimate nature of the universe is vibration, music …but we already knew that, didn't we?
And there have been so many unexpected benefits arising from this life-long passion of mine; places I have seen, experiences savored …all kinds of surprises and adventures …all because of the music.
Among these benefits I am also blessed to be friends with some of the finest audio designers and persona in the world. You haven't really lived until you have watched Lloyd Walker try Hunan Eggplant for the first time, or listened to Jennifer Crock explain how transistors really work. And of course, there is David Robinson, first my editor, and now for many years now, my trusted friend ...the list goes on.
This is the foundation, the context out of which I write.
But, I also have a few confessions to make. I just won't make them all at one time. A little mystery is a good thing in any relationship.
First and foremost, I am a confused audiophile. Frankly, I simply don't understand most of "it."
I have listened to mega-buck systems and remained unmoved, nay ...even distressed with what I heard. I went through virtually an entire international audio exhibition and found two rooms I thought sounded like music. I listened to people waxing rhapsodic and never understood how you can be transported by an audio system that is not even competently performing its most basic functions.
I have listened to learned dissections of the minutiae of audio reproduction when the most basic elements of a stereo soundstage were not in evidence.
I have listened to every rationalization for why, at that specific moment, things are not working as they should. It's as though the true audiophile only exists in the unrealized future, when everything magically comes together sufficiently to produce actual music.
So this is my primary disclaimer. I will speak to you straight and true, but I won't follow the forms and I don't give a crap about political stuff.
I also refuse to play the phony techo-mage for credibility. If you want some scientized explanations look elsewhere. Honestly, I have no idea how most of this stuff actually works …and neither, I suspect, do most of you.
As to technical specs, you can read the manufacturer's blurbs as well as I can.
I will write about what I hear and what it is like to live with the piece(s) under review as honestly and as entertainingly as I can. After all folks, just in case you missed this meeting, this voodoo that we do as audio journalists is "infotainment" and it is every bit as subjective as a restaurant review and way often just as political.
Dr. Sardonicus's System
Of course, one of the most important contexts of an audio review is the system(s) used by the reviewer.
So, here we go ...first ...what is rotating in and out of my current reference system. This is not totally complete, but I ran out of room.
Analog Source - Technics SP-10 direct drive TT in custom Jena Labs plinth, SME-10 tonearm, and a Cardas Heart MC phono cartridge.
Digital Source - Sony SCD-1 SACD player (with modifications).
Phono Preamplifiers
Balanced Audio Technology VK-P10SE
a Balanced Audio Technology VK-51SE (tube)
Power Amplifiers
Balanced Audio Technology VK-600SE (300 W/channel) and Balanced Audio Technology VK-500 (BAT-PAK) (500 W/channel) amplifiers.
Piega P-10 loudspeakers.
Jena Labs interconnect and loudspeaker cables.
Secondary System(s)
Digital Sources
Sony SCD-777ES
Sony C-333-ES SACD players.
Dussan V8i Hyper Class A integrated amplifier (250 W/channel)
Dussan V6i Hyper Class A integrated amplifier (150 W/channel)
Dussan DS99 integratedamplifier (100 W/channel)
ACI Sapphire XL loudspeakers.
…I use a mix of various stuff, such as Michael Green's JustaRacks, ACS bass traps and flat panels, lots of Black Diamond Racing (Source Shelf, The Shelf, Those Things, Round Things, Cones, etc.), Grizzly Industrial machined granite slabs, Grizzly Industrial maple butcher blocks, and a host of other audiophile doodads.
A Beginning is a Delicate Time
The Series - The Prelude
Over at least the next twelve months I have an ambitious series of interrelated reviews lined up. I suppose I could hole up and wait until all was finished before opening my mouth, but that is SO not in my nature.
So, I thought ...why use outmoded writing approaches dictated by the print media in a medium that has none of those limitations? Why not write a review as it is actually done ...as a process; circular, not linear?
You will have to tell me if this works. I only know that it makes sense to me. David assures me that through the magic of television he can make it all work. We shall see.
It's All Silica After All - A Tale of Two Amplifiers
There's Something Happening in Here...
One of my engineer-type friends is convinced that, as a result of improvements in technology, there is a "convergence" occurring …a convergence that is blurring the distinctions historically separating tube from solid state amplification "sound." The hypothesis is that high-end tube amps are increasingly evidencing the neutrality, control and power characteristics attributed to transistor amps, while solid state designs are increasingly evidencing harmonic richness and absence of grain and glare associated with the best of tube designs.
This is an interesting and potentially important hypothesis. However, at this point in time I am only going to be able to address one side of it, the assertion that the new generation of solid-state amplifiers is losing their signature "sandy-ness".
I think there is something to this hypothesis because of what I am hearing with two very different solid-state amplifier designs currently in residence in my home.
So I decided to break on through to the other side, and I am doing a preliminary piece in anticipation of full reviews on the BAT VK-600SE power amplifier, and a fascinating new offering from a Chinese manufacturer, the Dussan, Hyper-Class A V-8. Caveat: these "full" reviews may take any form I so choose. Just be aware there will be more said.
So, here is the first installment on a mini-review in the context of this hypothesis.
Ok, first, the usual suspects...
This is NOT my first rodeo, and over the years I have listened to the various tricks designers and manufacturers use to get their products noticed, and the fashionable things that sweep through audiophilia. I am unmoved.
For solid-state ...you shave a little off the top and the bottom and do some artful restrictions to keep everything happy; restrict power supply to "soft-clip" ...and trade dynamic compression for other sins so frequently attributed to solid-state. Keep it to a design of modest size, 100 watts or less.
For tubes ...big push-pull, lots of tubes ...lots of heat. Then, you forgive. You forgive bass, forgive extension, and forgive control. Focus on speaker matching.
And for both, you try every aftermarket voodoo fix you can lay your hands on and then ultimately find yourself only listening to a few recordings that actually sound good and construct elaborate rationales for why this is life as we know it.*
*Yes, I know I have maliciously engaged in the worst sort of negative stereotyping of both topologies. Please accept this note as my pro forma mea culpa and absolutely sincere gratuitous apology.
Screw that.
Things work or they don't. Get defensive if you wish. If I hear one more explanation why it's OK that a reference system has no real response below 50Hz, or why "the all-important mid-range" is the only thing one need really be concerned with, I will throw a shoe.
Spending ten minutes with a system and wanting to claw the ears off the side of my head because it is harsh, cold and without love equally distresses me. "Extension" and "transparency," my butt!
And dynamic range? Yeah, like the emotional range of Keanu Reeves …from A to B. We pick between shouty and compressed.
These are not choices we face, but dilemmas.
The Price of Romance
It isn't just what you hear that is at issue. What you don't hear has a profound impact on what you DO hear (e.g., the role low bass frequencies and their harmonics have in everything from harmonic texture to spatial localization). There is also something about dynamic range and headroom that is simply essential to the realistic reproduction of living music. Real music is shockingly dynamic. Even a single human voice can blow your doors off. The degree to which many systems severely compress dynamic range is disheartening. If your system does not have the ability to make you flinch, something is wrong.
A high fidelity audio system should be capable of reproducing the full frequency and dynamic range captured on the recording, period. For many years this standard has been +/- 3dB 20 - 20kHz, and 60dB of minimal usable dynamic range. This is not new; this is not "pushing the envelope."
And yet, we dance around limitations because we can't seem to achieve fidelity and pleasing sound simultaneously.
A few weeks ago, I listened to a very highly regarded solid-state amplifier, currently touted by the audiophile cognoscenti because it does not "sound" solid state. And it was a sweet little thing until you pushed it. When backed into a corner, true to its advertised billing it did not move into hard clipping, but rather simply compressed and ran out of gas in very much the same way a modestly powered push-pull tube amp would have done in similar circumstances. Most of you reading this know precisely what that sounds like, as opposed to the ugly tin-foil-on-the-teeth sound of a typical solid-state amp driven into hard clipping.
But if the only way we can make it sound good is to shave the ends off, or squash it …that is cheating.
But I become mired in the sludge. Let us strike out for the shore and towel off.
Aesthetics versus Fidelity
If you change the rules of a game everything gets easier. This holds true for everything from politics to interpersonal relationships. When "Until death do you part" is changed to "Until one of you becomes inconvenient to the other," everything gets easier. When "inalienable rights" is morphed into "rights that don't interfere with us doing whatever we want to, in order to insure our absolute control," well, it is easier. Everything becomes equivocal, situational …and, of course, easy is best.
I suspect it is much easier to design audio equipment around artful euphony than accuracy. I am not even necessarily against this. But call it what it is. Disclosure.
I love ketchup on fried chicken, but that is personal taste, not haute cuisine.
I adore the movies of Ed Wood, Jr., but that is just a reflection of my personal idiosyncrasies and the cosmic delight I take in humans who engage in art because they love, not because they are good at it.
In either case, I do not feel compelled to redefine the rules of the game (cooking and film making) to accommodate my aesthetic preferences. Nor do I feel the misplaced need to chastise those who obviously have an inferior palate and aesthetic because they do not agree with my refined senses. And as I age and mellow, I go a step further; when faced with righteous indignation directed towards my preferences, I try to just shrug and smile.
See, I like ketchup on chicken and I adore Ed Wood movies but I don't expect you to. More importantly, I don't have to construct some elaborate scientized distortion of reality to rationalize my preferences as some sort of principle. They are my preferences. And as long as they sell chickens and ketchup, I will be putting the two together.
But fidelity is another matter. If it ain't full range, it ain't high fidelity—period. It might be pleasing, it might be seductive; it might be as pretty as a speckled pup, but it is not fidelity.
PART ONE - First the BAT piece …the Balanced Audio VK-600SE solid-state power amplifier
Balanced Audio Technology products have been the heart of my reference system for nearly a decade. Although many pieces have been through my listening room, theirs stay. I have given that a bit of thought because, of course, readers often view reviewers who have an obvious predilection towards a particular brand with a somewhat jaundiced eye.
After careful self-examination, I have arrived at the following conclusions about why I prefer BAT.
Or as a momentarily frustrated audio buddy once succinctly asserted (when I was auditioning another amplifier),
"Get that piece of crap out of there, put the BAT back in, and let's listen to some music."
The VK-600SE is the balls-out version of the new VK-600, the no-holds-barred successor to the long-term flagship of BAT's solid-state amplification line, the VK-500; a dual mono, two stage MOSFET solid state amplifier that has, for many years, enjoyed both a strong following and inexplicable detractors (more on that later).
This new amplifier from BAT is a deadly serious piece and obviously aimed at not only the top of the solid-state market, but as a statement piece for comparison at any price point and for any topology. I think BAT built this amp with the intention of creating the best amplifier in the world. They won't say so, but I might.
It's big (120lbs+), it's black. It's simple. One vertical power switch. Normal balanced inputs and conventional, but heavy-duty speaker terminals. A small, asymmetrically positioned blue light on the front face to tell you it's on. That's it. Oh, and despite the staggered-channel power up sequence, the lights in my house still flicker when you turn this beast on.
Pull the top off and you will see a double row of REALLY big Jensen capacitors, and nestled beneath them the huge power supplies and the heavy circuit boards BAT has always favored.
Oddly, although heavier than its predecessor, visually it is less imposing than the VK-500. Perhaps it is true that black is "slimming." I managed to get it unpacked and wrestled it into place on the floor (granite, carbon fiber, maple butcher-board with some Black Diamond Racing separators) without mishap, but I don't recommend it, unassisted.
Also unlike the VK-500 (pictured to the right), it sounded wonderful cold out of the box. Yeah, it has gotten steadily better as all those massive components have gradually run in, but it was absolutely listenable right out of the box, AND right out of the box it completely eclipsed the VK-500. As good as the VK-500 is, it is simply not in the same class with this new amplifier. But then, I am not sure what might be.
So, what does it sound like?
Does it sound like a tube amp? No, it doesn't. Does it sound like a solid-state amp? No, it doesn't.
Let us address the second point first...
There is no grain, no glare, no bleachy residue. No metallic taste left in your mouth. No screech, no scratch (unless they are on the recording). It may be solid-state, but it sure ain't sand. It may be fast and incredibly resolving, but you won't pay the usual butcher's bill in fatigue and earache.
First point, second...
There is no honeyed euphony dripping all over the floor. No flatulent bass waving around like Mrs. Lapidis's underarm largess. And never the questionable speed and maneuverability issues of an overloaded double-decker English tour bus festooned with drunken soccer hooligans, careening down Lombard Avenue. It may be harmonically luscious and tonally rich, but it ain't gonna paint all your recordings with the same brush.
In operation, for all practical purposes, the amplifier is flawless.
And now, the bottom line…
No compromises, no tricks, no obfuscation. Neutral, calm, steadfastly transparent, effortlessly dynamic; from top to bottom the BAT VK-600SE is seamless and without flaw. You plunk it down, plug it in, and push one switch to turn it on; put music through it and music, glorious music comes out the other end. It creates a sonic stage with the power and fullness of the Pacific Ocean, energizing the entire room with this Zen-like ease.
And, if it is anything like the rest of the BAT line it will do precisely this practical magic, without fuss, without muss, day-after-day …reliably for decades. Short of the incredible speakers I know Jennifer Crock is currently constructing, I could live the balance of my audio life with what I hear in my reference room now, without ever a moment's pause or shred of regret.
The longer I live with this extraordinary piece the more I am convinced that it may well currently be the best amplifier on the planet. It is certainly the best amplifier I have ever heard.
Listen to it with the VK-51SE line stage, and listen to it balanced (I cannot over-emphasize what a pork-brained thing running balanced components in single-ended mode truly is).
I strongly recommend you listen to this combination using the Jena Labs wire …but do listen to it.
This is what the word "reference" is meant for.
In the Second Installment …the Good Doctor visits Cathay, and talks about the first set of two-way speakers he has paid any serious attention to in twenty years.

FRANKFURT (May. 8)
Professor Franz Boehm, Christian Democratic member of the Bundestag and German champion of reparations for Israel as well as of indemnification for Nazi victims, today presented to the Frankfurt Jewish Community the $1,000 prize which he received last month as the Stephen Wise Award from the American Jewish Congress in New York.
The Frankfurt Community, in turn, resolved to endow a classroom in its new religious school with the prize money and to commemorate Prof. Boehm's gesture on a bronze plaque that is to be set into the wall of the room.
Prof. Boehm, the first German to be honored in this fashion, is a 61-year-old Protestant who teaches cartel law at Frankfurt University. He served as chairman of the German delegation in the 1952 reparations negotiations with Israel at the Hague and now is deputy chairman of the Bundestag Indemnification Committee, co-president of the Frankfurt Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation and head of a Nazi persecutes united organization.

Rogue planets – also known as free floating planets – are pretty intriguing. They are not orbiting a star but instead are wandering through the galaxy, having been either forcibly ejected from a solar system or having formed very early on in the Universe. While only a handful of these planets have been actually found, astronomers estimate these vagrant worlds could vastly outnumber stars. In fact, it's been suggested there could be 100,000 times more rogue planets than stars in our Milky Way galaxy alone!

- Nice ShirtReview by Eddie "D"
- Nice shirt - I'm a refined hydrocarbon recycler for sure. Good fit and no issues with service or shipping. Typical Aerostich quality. Washes up well, too. (Posted on 8/22/12)
- Step away from the herdReview by Cobragrass
- I love to wear this to work out at the gym at a local college. This shirt quietly sets you apart from herd of eco-utopian Stepford tofu zombies in their ubiquitous Earth Day or Think Green or Save The Rain Forest group-think t-shirts. Let em know they won't be allowed to bulldoze thousands of years of human accomplishment without a fight. While it is a subtle message, it does occasionally draw scowls from that segment of the herd, but I find that doesn't actually bother me that much. For added effectiveness beyond the weight room, I suggest a large Lexus SUV and a big smile as accessories to the shirt. (Posted on 8/30/11)

Check out our picks for this week — including Mavis Staples' new album and Curtis Sittenfeld's latest novel — after the jump!
Wale, The Gifted: If you like Outkast or Late Registration Kanye, then Wale's newest album is exactly what you need. "Bad" with Rihanna is a standout track.
Mavis Staples, One True Vine: If you like Wilco, The Band, or are just a sucker for a gospel choir, then Mavis Staples' newest, produced by Jeff Tweedy, is just the ticket.
Smith Westerns, Soft Will: If you like the lo-fi, indie pop of Islands or Animal Collective, then the newest offering from the Smith Westerns will sound perfect as you embark upon long car rides during sunset.
Sisterland by Curtis Sittenfeld: If you enjoyed Audrey Niffenegger's Her Fearful Symmetry or Rebecca Wolff's The Beginners, then this hotly anticipated book from Prep author is for you. Sittenfeld explores sisterhood and all its implications in this book about psychic sisters. Best beach read.
On The Floor by Aifric Campbell: If you loved Bonfire of the Vanities or Too Big To Fail, then Aifric Campbell's thriller about a London investment banker— sounds boring, but trust — should be on your bookshelf.
Eve in Hollywood by Amor Towles: This is a neat idea. As a follow up to his debut book The Rules of Civility, this novella — sold as a Kindle Single — gives us a little more about Eve Ross, best friend of Katey Kontent. I'm psyched about this one.

The 'Silent House' actress is in talks to tackle the part of Marie in the upcoming movie, which is based on 2003's Korean revenge thriller from Park Chan-wook.
After landing a role in thriller film "Silent House", Elizabeth Olsen could end up starring in another hellraising film. The younger sister of the Olsen twins is in negotiations to tackle the female lead role in Spike Lee's "Oldboy" remake, Twitch reported.
Elizabeth became the latest actress who is offered the part of Marie. Previously, Oscar nominee Rooney Mara and Australian actress Mia Wasikowska were eyed for the role, but both of them turned down the offers.
Should the "Martha Marcy May Marlene" star sign the deal with director Lee, she will join Josh Brolin, who has already been cast for the male lead role. As for the villain, Lee is still looking for a right actor to take the part.
Various big names, including Christian Bale, Colin Firth and Clive Owen, had previously been considered to play the bad guy. They, however, rejected the offers due to various reasons.
Based on a 2003 Korean revenge thriller from Park Chan-wook, "Oldboy" centers on a recently paroled middle-aged man. He spent 15 years in prison without any explanation as to why he was jailed. He then seeks revenge on those who conspired against him.
The original version of the movie was released in 2003 and won the Grand Prize Jury Award at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. The U.S. version, meanwhile, will be produced by Doug Davidson and Roy Lee with "Thor" scribe Mark Protosevich penning the script.
As for Olsen, after starring in "Silent House" as well as Sundance films "Red Lights" and "Liberal Arts", she is set to play Tom Felton's wife in thriller pic "Therese Raquin" and is tapped to star opposite Daniel Radcliffe in true story drama "Kill Your Darlings".

So lets just start off with the goods. I have been working with a wonderful artist by the name of Beau Wright to get one of my comics off the ground. She's a wonderfully talented young lady from Chicago. I really feel like she has the potential to really go far as an artist. The story we're working on is called T.E.L.M., a story which some of you may formerly know as Tesla Force. I don't want to give too much of the plot away, but here is the first page without lettering.
I think we can all agree that this is some great art. Unfortunately, the draft of the script I originally sent out to Dark Horse a year or two ago was complete rubbish, so I am in the process of rewriting the whole thing. This project was originally planned to be a kickstarter project, but Beau's art is so good I was actually inspired to try to pitch the story to some publishers first. So I'll keep you guys in the loop about that project as it develops over the next month or so.
I recently spoke of wanting to participate in the Top Cow talent search. Since that time, I decided not to. I don't want to talk crap or speak ill of anyone in public, but I just don't think I would be a good fit at that company. The good news is that it will leave me with plenty of time to focus on other projects… like…
Star-Crossed is a five page story that I sent out to 2000AD a couple weeks ago. It should be arriving at their offices any day now. I recently started reading 2000AD and I really have fallen in love with it. Honestly, I love anthology magazines and am glad that a few publications are keeping that trend alive. I know everyone at my local comic book shop have been talking up Clint by Mark Millar. Odds are I will eventually start picking it and Heavy Metal up on a regular basis. Though to be fair, Heavy Metal kind of swings back and forth when it comes to quality. I would love to see all these mentioned magazines do well in the US. I would love to see some of the larger publishers get back into the anthology game.
Alright, that's all for now. As I focus on some writing, I don't think I'll be posting on here much. I will update whenever I get some news. Also, I am going to get the promised interviews out the door ASAP. They have been completed, but I'm a terrible person and spread myself too thin.

Lewis, Cross earn district high honors for Lady Cats
By BOBBY "BUTCH" BURNEY | News-Telegram Sports Editor
Nov. 13, 2007 - Sulphur Springs sophomore Maurie Lewis made a positive impression on the District 11-4A volleyball coaches, as did junior Mackenzie Cross, again.
Lewis, the Lady Cats' leaders in sets and assists, was voted the district's Newcomer of the Year, while Cross - who was the Co-Newcomer of the Year in 2006 - was a First Team All-District selection.
In addition, senior back row player Kamesha Hall and junior outside hitter Baleigh Butler were voted Second Team All-District. Earning Honorable Mention were junior outside hitter Brittani Crawford and senior defender Amanda McGowin.
The voting was conducted last week by the 11-4A coaches.
Lewis was the team's top setter, accumulating 642 sets and 122 assists in 10 district games. She was also one of the top servers, getting in 78-of-83 serves (94 percent).
She was the only sophomore on the team, but started every game. She had 100 assists more than anyone else on the team.
Cross, who played middle blocker and outside hitter, was the team leader in most offensive categories. She led the Lady Cats in attacks, getting in 154 hits in 211 attacks. She also had 44 kills and 41 blocks, both of which were team-highs. She also got in 90-of-98 serves (92 percent) and ended district with a team-high 123 digs and a 71-percent pass rating.
Cross shared the Newcomer of the Year award as a sophomore.
Hall, one of only two seniors on the team, was the Lady Cats' top server, missing just two serves during district play. She got in 117-of-119 serves (98 percent) and also came up with 45 digs and 60 passes.
Butler teamed with Cross at the net to give the Lady Cats some hitting power. She finished with a 79 percent attack rate, which was the highest among front-row players. She had 138 hits in 175 attacks with 43 kills, just one behind Cross, and nine blocks. She also came up with 90 digs, two assists and had 91 percent success in serving (79-of-87).
Crawford really came on district and ended the 11-4A campaign with 15 blocks, a 78-percent attack rage (65-of-83) with 19 kills and 17 assists, which was second-highest on the team. She also had 57 passes and 37 digs.
McGowin was also one of the top servers as she got in 117-of-124 serves (94 percent) and ended district with 70 digs and three kills.
Other district superlative honors included Paris senior Angela Robinson winning the MVP award for the second consecutive season. Her classmate Ali Ryan was named Most Valuable Setter.
North Lamar also had two superlative award winners as senior Logan Anglin was voted the Most Valuable Hitter and senior Ali Stone was deemed Most Valuable Blocker. Lindale's Ashton Brey was named Most Valuable Defender/Libero.

I'm sure you all have been burning with curiosity, wondering what that "WordCount Blogathon 2010 Participant" badge on the right side of the screen means. You've been losing sleep over this, right? Then I have good news for you. That badge means that I, along with 72 other people at last count, will be blogging every day for the month of May.
Yes, every day.
If you're a blogger too, you know how hard this is. It takes time to write posts, to think of ideas. But I like challenges, and I think the Blogathon will be a lot of fun too. I'm pretty excited about it, especially because it looks like a great way to meet some other people in the blogosphere. Any bloggers out there want to join me? (If so, there's still time to sign up for Blogathon 2010.)
For me, I feel like the best way to be prepared for daily posts is to have a weekly schedule: Mondays for this, Tuesdays for that, etc. I will occasionally waiver from this schedule, at least on special Blogathon days when we are given a topic to post about, but for the most part you will find the following in May:
Food & Fitness Saturdays: I go on long runs on Saturday mornings with my favorite running group ever, Back On My Feet. Plus it's the weekend, and many of us have more time to be athletic, ergo, this seems like the perfect day to explore eating for fitness.
NBA Playoff Sunday: It's NBA Playoff Season! If you've read this blog for a while, you know I'm a fan of taking fictional characters, sports figures, etc. and finding recipes that "fit" some aspect of them. (Like the character Hiro from Heroes, a time traveler who was a perfect match for a waffle recipe from the 1600s.) I love NBA Playoff Season, so we're doing the same thing with the players and/or teams on Sundays (by we, I mean me and a special NBA expert guest).
Recipe Monday: Just like the beginning of every week, I'll make a recipe, and then show you how I did it through pictures.
Fun Ingredient/Foods Tuesday: Tuesdays will be all about trying fun ingredients or foods. They'll be new to me, but if you have experience using them, I hope you'll weigh in with advice.
Interview Wednesday: In the last year, I've learned that I really like interviewing people, a discovery that surprises the crap out of me when I think about it. In college, I changed my major from journalism to English precisely because I was so petrified of interviewing strangers. How we can change over the years. So on Wednesdays, stop by to hear from people who use their working and/or free time to combine food and writing, either by writing recipes, blogging and using social media, or writing about food online and, hopefully, in print.
Chocolate Thursday: What can I say? This blog is called My Morning Chocolate, and, thus, Thursday will be all about chocolate. I hope to have at least one post about chocolate in the savory food world too.
Food News Friday: We'll wind down on Fridays with links to interesting food news articles from the previous week.
I hope you'll stop by, and please let me know if you decide to do the Blogathon!
