It was billed as a great pitching duel and it certainly was, but both Johan Santana and Curt Schilling were long gone when the game was decided.
And it didn't go Boston's way, as Jason Kubel belted a 12th-inning grand slam off Julian Tavarez to give the Twins a 5-2 victory last night in as good a game as you'd want to see.
The game looked like a keeper when Tavarez took over a 2-1 game in the bottom of the 12th and fanned leadoff batter Joe Mauer.
But things started to unravel when Tavarez hit Michael Cuddyer with a pitch. Justin Morneau followed with a ground-rule double to center, Torii Hunter was intentionally walked to load the bases, and the count went to 3-2 on Kubel, Minnesota's DH.
Tavarez came inside with it and Kubel cranked it off the wall in right, sending the crowd of 23,531 into orbit.
"Hitting Cuddyer was not what you want to do," manager Terry Francona said, stating the obvious. "I thought the home run was out off the bat, it was hit. You're asking for trouble when you get into extra innings on the road."
Francona said he didn't want to stick with Mike Timlin, who had pitched a 1-2-3 11th inning, because the reliever had just come off the disabled list.
The Red Sox slipped back into a first-place deadlock with the Yankees, who nipped the Indians, 1-0, last night.
Boston had gone ahead, 2-1, in the top of the 12th when Mike Lowell scored on a bases-loaded, fielder's-choice grounder up the middle by Alex Gonzalez. Shortstop Juan Castro made a great play, diving for the ball and flipping to second for a forceout, but Gonzalez just beat second baseman Luis Castillo's relay to first base for what would have been an inning-ending double play.
"What can you do about it? We fought. It was a good game," David Ortiz said. "That's what a Cy Young winner does, he brings his A game every day. He's a great pitcher with great stuff. He brings it. He made one mistake. He was really on tonight."
Santana, the Twins ace and perhaps the best pitcher in the game, was devastating, striking out 13 batters in eight innings. He allowed only a single run on Jason Varitek's home run in the seventh. He gave up five hits, didn't walk anyone and threw 102 pitches.
Schilling, failing in a gallant try to become the first 10-game winner in the majors, also gave up only a single run on Cuddyer's solo homer in the bottom of the seventh. Schilling allowed six hits, struck out four and walked one, also in eight innings.
"It was a grinding game, it's been a while since I've been in one like that," Schilling said. "We knew from the beginning he (Santana) was on. I knew it would take a mistake for us to win, and he made one. We got the lead, and I gave it right back. A fastball down and away, not the right pitch in that situation.
"You hate to lose a game like that; we played so well," Schilling continued, adding that he was pleased that he was able to pitch effectively and not get caught up in what Santana was doing.Varitek finally ended the suspense and the string of goose eggs on the scoreboard with a two-out solo home run to left-center. The catcher jumped on Santana's first pitch and clubbed it 404 feet into the seats for his seventh round-tripper of the season.
The lead didn't last long. Cuddyer answered with another two-out blast in the bottom of the inning, knotting the score at 1-1. This shot to straight-away center went 410 feet and was No. 10 for the right fielder.
Both teams threatened in the ninth.
Mark Loretta led off with a single off Joe Nathan and pinch runner Willie Harris took second on a wild pitch. Ortiz scared the crowd with a booming flyball to deep center that Hunter pulled in, and the threat ended on another flyball to deep center by Lowell.
Minnesota had a golden opportunity in the bottom of the ninth when Luis Castillo led off with a double against Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon. First baseman Kevin Youkilis thwarted Lew Ford's sacrifice bunt attempt by alertly firing to third to nail Castillo. Papelbon then whiffed the next two Twins to send the game into extra innings.
Gonzalez and Nixon had three hits apiece for Boston, while Morneau's trio paced the Twins.
Tavarez (1-2, 5.83) was charged with a blown save and took the loss. Dennys Reyes (1-0, 1.69) got the win for retiring one batter in the 12th.
It hasn't been a spectacular season so far for Santana, but he certainly got off to a spectacular start last night.
He went into the game just eight strikeouts shy of 1,000 in his career, and got a great start on that milestone by whiffing the first five Red Sox batters he faced. The Twins ace reached 1,000 by fanning Ortiz a second time leading off the fourth. The crowd of 23,531 gave him a standing ovation.
It was the 29th game in Santana's career with 10 or more strikeouts, fifth this season. The only southpaws to strike out more Red Sox were Randy Johnson in 1998 and Mickey Lolich in 1972. Right-hander Nolan Ryan twice fanned 19 Red Sox, the club record, both in 1974.

Hollywood has churned out some decent movies in 2013 with the likes of The Great Gatsby and The Conjuring making their mark.
The Wolf of Wall Street
However, yet to come and the most anticipated film of the year for many, is The Wolf of Wall Street, starring Leonardo Di Caprio in the lead.
The Wolf of Wall Street is based on the true story of Jordan Belfort, the infamous stock market manipulating broker turned author and motivational speaker.
The story covers his rise and fall from a wealthy stockbroker, living the high life, to his involvement in white collar crime and corruption and the inevitable encounter with the FBI.
The trailer is enthralling with excitement, energy, tough guys, glamorous women and wild partying.
The cast includes Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin and Rob Reiner, among others.
The Wolf of Wall Street is slated for a Christmas release.
X-Men: Days of Future Past
Starring, Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Evan Peters, Halle Berry, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin and Ellen Page, the movie is about the war for the survival of the species across two time periods.
Xavier joins forces again with his old frenemy, Magneto Ian McKellen, and the two engage the Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) to travel back in time to change the past and save the mutant species in the future.
Twentieth Century Fox describe the plot so, "The characters from the original X-Men film trilogy join forces with their younger selves from X-Men: First Class in an epic battle that must change the past - to save our future."
E-Online may call the movie Back to the Future—the mutant edition, but moviegoers are anxiously awating its release on May 23, 2014.

Family Gripes
When I was a child, I used to go to play with my cousins. In those days, my family lived near, often in the neighborhood of my mother in Madrid. We woke up at 05:00am so we could see the sunrise and the first rays that were on our roof. To my grandmother that he also liked playing with us and their grandchildren, he said that he liked to play with us why is also remembered for his adolescence.I think she was lonely and bored by that was always close to us, that we sometimes bothered me a bit or that we could not run through the fields without having to be with full vigilance for that is not injure with a bad fall. Well here a photo of a family meeting with the cousins 2 years ago in Lima, where we met as when we were teenagers and clear that we didn't antics and my grandmother no longer accompanying us. I remember this clearly and it seems like it was yesterday.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jerry Leiber, who partnered with Mike Stoller to write such iconic rock hits as Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" and "Jailhouse Rock," died on Monday at age 78, his representatives said.
Leiber died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles of cardiopulmonary failure, Randy Poe, the president of his publishing company, told Reuters.
Family members of the legendary songwriter were with him when he died, said Leiber's assistant, Marilyn Levy.
Leiber and Stoller, who met when they were 17, wrote such tunes as "Hound Dog," "Jailhouse Rock," "Stand By Me" and "Poison Ivy."
Presley, the Drifters, Ben E. King and Peggy Lee were among the many singers who recorded songs from the duo.
They also helped ignite the career of the Coasters by writing and producing the doo-wop act's hits including "Yakety Yak," "Charlie Brown" and "Along Came Jones."

The ancient Mediterranean world brought to us by Herodotus, Thucydides and Tacitus is one of politics, war and the power elite of Greece and Rome. There was another ancient world, in which ordinary people made a living, sold land, ran their towns and sued one another. This is the world that the papyri bring to life; this book is about how they do so.
"Reading Papyri, Writing Ancient History" demonstrates how historians can put together information from scattered and often badly damaged documents to build up a picture of the society, economy and culture of the multicultural and multilingual world of antiquity. Through discussion of contemporary historical work on the documents, Roger Bagnall scrutinizes alternative ways of approaching these sources. He shows how the ancient historian can use the methodologies of anthropology, comparative history and statistics alongside more traditional tools to turn these texts into questions and answers.
Students and teachers of ancient history will find "Reading Papyri, Writing Ancient History" an indispensable guide to using these ancient texts in their own work.

The big penis and mens' sexual health source, increasing penis size around the world.
I actually do lock the door, but I have found the door unlocked a few times when they have put me in the back room where nobody could see if they entered.
I don't know for sure if they like to sneak peaks, but perhaps. :p
(I play music loud, and likely wouldn't hear them enter.)
:flame: "If you build it, they will cum."
Excellent post bg.very informative and also very encouraging thanks
The following is a quote from a PM:
"I've been wearing the weights for like a week. I couldn't imagine running with them on. Just walking causes enough problems when they swing into my sack. Do (I should say did) you tie them to your leg?
How many did you used to wear at a time? Did you wrap so that the weights would be pressed against the base of your penis? If not how far down (inches and percentage if possible) do they hang?"
{Dude, good questions, all of them. Hope you don't mind I answer your PM on the thread so all can hear.}
{First off, no. Don't tie them to your leg; the swinging is a good thing. They never hit my sack, but I have all this skin. My scrotum hangs real low. But don't try to wear all two pounds of the weights all the time. Right after hanging sessions or heavy length work is when you need all three weights for as long as you can get by with it. When you run, treadmill or track, just wear one, two tops. Swimming, wear all three and let them hang out the leg of your shorts so they hang down if you swim freestyle. They still hang down with backstroke or side. Normally, no one can see them, (Watch for kids with masks.) If you are going to be on your feet a long time, but kind of just standing around wear more, if you get busy or have to move quick wear one, The beauty of these weights is not so much to stretch out your ligs (which they do a little) but to keep you extended while healing. One hundred hours for tissue to heal, but I say always. Never let it turtle, and even one weight will do that. The rings are cumbersome when you sit. If you get in the car, slip them off and tuck that dick under your leg, just keep it extended.}
{The last part of your questions: No. I do not wrap, you probably won't have to either if you listen up. I know this is in the thread somewhere, but one more time. After a good hard length workout, no matter what routines you use, you will have lymph fluid build-up. The heavier the session the more fluid, the body's way of protecting the penis from trauma. Most of us hate the way it looks, but the good news is, it won't stay long, but while it is there use it. You it in your head to dream about that girth you will one day have let it give you vision, use that faux girth to have sex with your girlfriend, but most of all used it to keep the damned rings on. After your workout, get in the shower, soap up, slip the rings on one at a time working them all the way back to the body, pulling all foreskin or Extra PE skin forward toward the tip making a kind of mushroom of skin at the end. This will serve as a cushion to protect the glands; it will also help you keep the weights on. As the day wears on and lymph wears down they will loosen and start to be a hassle to keep on. This is when you take one off, or two. Usually one will stay on all day. You may have to go to the restroom once and a while to pull all the skin forward through to the tip, but you can keep one all day with a little effort. If you are in a situation where you don't want the thing slipping of, sliding down your leg and rolling into Starbucks at the mall, simply tie a string to the weight and tie it to your belt. If the weight comes off it will just dangle discretely inside your pants leg until you can get to the can.}
Anyway, hope this helps
Good luck

I bend over and bow for you, BG! Thanks!! I'll never let this turtle come and get me ever again!
As long as you aren't sticking your dick up your own ass, I'm cool with it. :D
Me too!
Is there a picture of these bed fowfers somewhere? I want to be sure I'm doing it correct…
Never ever a turtle again...
Lang: No pictures. It would be pretty hard to photograph, but you can't really do it wrong. just tuck your dick between your legs and sleep on your side. Works best if you sleep nude. Also while driving. I don't know about Norway, but in Texas we wear shorts a lot in the summer. Pull your dick out the leg of your shorts and tuck it under one leg. This is a great way to keep from turtling while you drive.

Can someone post a link to the CLAMPS?? I can't seem to find a photo and I need to know what I am looking for a Walmart.
Look at Big Girthas avatar. That is the clamp you want to look for at Walmart. It comes in different colors besides blue. Look around the area where they sell extension cords and stuff.

Thank you
However my weights holes are a little bigger because I've stripped the rubber coating off, something Monty says we shouldn't do. He has offered to re-dip the weights for free, but I like them this way. To me the cool smooth lead is more comfortable than the rubber, and without the rubber they are the perfect fit. I have to lather up in the shower to get them on but once they are on they stay without wrap. I've been wearing them this way for almost a year without any problems with the lead against skin. I'm pretty sure lead has to be inhaled or ingested to be toxic, but if you girth is less than six inches you will probably be comfy with the rubber on. Just don't wear them going through airport security. I have a medal detector story, but I'll save it for another thread.
Ummm.. BG, that material is lead (as you know).
This study showed that Lead Oxides (PbO, PbO2, etc.) can be absorbed through the skin. In addition they found that some soaps (Ivory Liquid cleanser was one that was tested) can significantly increase the amount absorbed. A 30 minute lead exposure that was then cleaned by Ivory Liquid cleanser experienced 7.97 times (12.9 to 62.1 ng/cm^2) the amount of absorption as a 24 hour exposure cleaned with water alone. When the skin had been damaged the absorption rate for the non-soap testing increase by a factor of 5.6. (The soap sample was 1.6 times that amount).
This survey used particulate samples of Lead Oxides, but I would still be concerned about the layer of lead oxide that you are pressing against your skin. Given that they used lead oxides in particulate form your absorption is probably significantly less.
Lead Oxides are a dull gray color, and form a thin outer layer on lead that has been exposed to the O2 in the atmosphere for any significant length of time. Pure lead is a bright, shiny bluish-white metal.
Because of similar chemical properties, the body confuses lead with calcium when ingested and incorporates it into the bone marrow, nerve tissue, brain, and kidneys. The body never decomposes the lead into another, more easily tolerated substance, because lead is an element.
.. At low concentration lead can adversely affect the brain, the central nervous system, blood cells, and kidneys. Blood lead concentrations as low as 10 ug/dl can impair mental and physical development. Lead at high concentrations (80 ug/dl or above) can cause convulsions, coma, and death. If you suspect lead poisoning, consult your physician immediately.
(2) "Long-term (chronic) overexposure". Chronic overexposure to lead may result in severe damage to your blood - forming, nervous, urinary and reproductive systems. .. Chronic overexposure to lead also results in kidney disease with few, if any, symptoms appearing until extensive and most likely permanent kidney damage has occurred. ..
Chronic overexposure to lead impairs the reproductive systems of both men and women. Overexposure to lead may result in decreased sex drive, impotence and sterility in men.
There are a large number of other negative effects from lead poisoning.
All in all BG, I would highly recommend against using these lead weights without the rubber coating. In addition, I certainly would suggest that you don't lube up with soap in order to get the non-rubberized lead onto your penis.
I have seen no data on the transmission rates of lead through rubber. There are probably some studies around given that this is a common method to encase lead weights. Given that it is common, it is probably effective, but I have no data on it.
I am not a doctor; this is not medical advice.
Thanks for the info :)

So Rosita has been a complete asshole to Sasha all this time, but I guess when it comes to the dealing with the bigger picture and killing Negan, Sasha can put any anger she has aside. At least Rosita has a well thought out plan, right? Anyway, let's return to the Hilltop in "The Other Side."
Tag Archives: Harlan Carson
A Look at The Walking Dead- Season 7, Episode 5: "Go Getters"
Right, so last time we were at the Hilltop, Rick killed one of the members and acted like he hadn't done a damn thing. Well, things have changed now. As Maggie and Sasha have finally arrived at the Hilltop, the two become more direct in their confrontations with Gregory and their plan to strike back at Negan. But not before an unexpected visit from the Saviors. This is "Go Getters."

Vibhor Mittal of Houston - Enjoys a Great Story
Vibhor Mittal's loves art of many forms, but one of his favorite mediums is that of a book. He enjoys reading stories of all kinds, whether they are fictional stories or true, nonfictional stories. There are quite a few novelists that sit on his favorite list including those that work in the area of horror. He feels that the best novelists are able to write about the human condition and can capture its many facets in a way that keeps the reader captivated. He finds that horror stories are able to really capture the characters well and can be some of the most readable books or novels.
Horror fiction is fiction in any medium intended to scare, unsettle, or horrify the audience. Historically, the cause of the "horror" experience has often been the intrusion of a supernatural element into everyday human experience. Since the 1960s, any work of fiction with a morbid, gruesome, surreal, or exceptionally suspenseful or frightening theme has come to be called "horror". Horror fiction often overlaps science fiction or fantasy, all three of which categories are sometimes placed under the umbrella classification speculative fiction.
Vibhor Mittal also enjoys other genres, which include biographies and dramatic novels. Some of the big names on his list include big-name writers: Jane Smiley, David Mitchell and Anne Rice. But he is always on the lookout for new voices. Some of the most exciting debut novels by adult and young adult writers, include Isabel Quintero's Gabi, a Girl in Pieces, a "fresh, authentic and honest exploration of contemporary Latina identity," as our reviewer puts it, and Vanessa Manko's "sober... lively and provocative" novel The Invention of Exile, set in Mexico City.

Special Vehicle Team, abbreviated as SVT, refers to Ford's high-performance vehicle division. Originally known as Special Vehicle Operations (SVO), the division was officially renamed in 1993 due to reorganization efforts within the Ford Motor Company. As originally intended, the SVO division would remain intact and focus their efforts on promoting corporate racing programs and over-the-counter Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) while the new SVT division would be in charge of developing limited-edition high-performance vehicles.
The SVT development team focuses mainly on creating superior performance model options for already existing Ford vehicles. Notable examples include the Ford Shelby GT500 and Ford Lightning, which were a specially tuned version of the Ford Mustang and Ford F-150, respectively. However, the team has been known to create high-performance vehicles from the ground up. An example of this is the Ford GT.

What programming language was used to develop Spiceworks? and what program can i use to access the Spiceworks .db file? I have tried opening it up in Crystal Reports and MS Access but no luck. Has anyone else had any luck?
This topic was created during version 1.7.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

I believe that Spiceworks is a Ruby application.
The .db file is a SQLite database. You can use SQLite database browser available on sourceforge.net to view/edit the database. If you do, please take the standard precautions and back up the .db file before editing.
Nov 13, 2007 at 10:22 UTC
Dinklock is absolutely correct. We're a Ruby on Rails application and use SQLite as the database.
Nov 13, 2007 at 10:40 UTC
Thanks guys. Will back the db file up, thanks for the tip. Now lets see if I can make things happen with the data collected with this fab app!
Nov 13, 2007 at 10:46 UTC
Just curious . . . what are you going to make happen? The data that SW collects can be exported to several different formats including csv and excel. Also, reports can be scripted and therefore can be run on a schedule . . .
Nov 14, 2007 at 3:37 UTC
DinkLock, thats what I was looking to do, you read my mind! I will probably retrieve the data, place in a suitable format and then run reports, etc, on our Intranet site using asp. Also, schedule reports that will be emailed to Managers. Try an get some kind of graphical reports too, i.e. Number of tickets gone over the due date in the month, no. of tickets closed, etc... I also have Crystal Reports, although it says it can open up .db file it won't recognise it, so I will have to export and then create reports.

For months reports of Lamar Odom's drug use have been making headlines and while many may be surprised Khloe Kardashian has stayed by his side there could be a sad reason why. A source tells TMZ that Khloe knows divorce is inevitable, but has been reluctant to file papers because she is afraid it will push him over the edge causing him to overdose or commit suicide. We recently saw their marriage drama unfold on a recent episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians where Khloe opened up to the cameras revealing that Lamar is suffering from depression. Check out the rest of the story here!

Mr. David Kipen, Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle

Want to comment on your favorite book? Go to our discussion board.
Anil's Ghost by Michael Ondaatje
It's Michael Ondaatje's first book since The English Patient and in some ways a very different book. It reminded me more than anything, strangely enough, of Dorothy Sayer's mystery Whose Body. The lead character's a forensic anthropologist in Ondaatje's native Sri Lanka. And while it's all about the civil wars in Sri Lanka, it takes place about 10 years ago, but--unfortunately, it's still going on--it's just a wonderful character study. Some fascinating people in it and the beauty of his writing, I mean, you can't forget for a paragraph that this is a guy who started out as a poet and still a practicing poet, and just some of the phrasing, you know, it'll stay with you for the rest of your life.
-Mr. KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
Author: H.P. Lovecraft
If you get really sick of the sunny, pleasant weather, you can always read H.P. Lovecraft, who is one of the classic, incredibly neurotic American horror writers. He's kind of got a weird, creaky style, but he's just so sort of crazed like Edgar Allan Poe that he's also addictive.
-Ms. MILLER (New York Editorial Director of Salon.com)
Bad Jewsby Gerald Shapiro
From a smaller publisher Zoland, and it's a collection of short stories that reminds me a lot of the young Philip Roth circa about 1960. Just really funny, funny stories about poor losers and schnooks, a lot of them, and, oh God, it's just uproarious. A short story called "The Feigenbaum Foundation"(ph) that ends with sort of the battle of the bands between two rabbis, one reformed and one orthodox, and it's just hysterically funny.
-Mr. DAVID KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
Bee Season by Myla Goldberg
It has a very sort of sly sense of humor. It's about a little girl named Eliza Naumann, and she is this very unassuming, meek, unexceptional child in every way with these two sort of distracted parents. Her father is a canter and a scholar, and he, you know, has kind of written her off as not having any particular talents. And then she turns out to be this
incredible spelling prodigy and she becomes a spelling bee champion and she goes all the way to the national competition.
-Ms. MILLER (New York Editorial Director of Salon.com)
Bobos in Paradise by David Brooks
Something that a lot of people will enjoy and see themselves, I think, a little bit in it.
-Ms. CARLA COHEN (Co-Owner, Politics and Prose)
Car Camping: The Book of Desert Adventures, by Mark Sundeen
I often think that our fantasy of summer is this kind of carefree
getaway and the most of has these vacations that have to over-planned. Sometimes people are traveling with kids and they don't have a lot of freedom and we often wind up fantasizing about our youth, when we could sort of just pick and go at any moment. And this book is a first person story, sort of like, you know, short adventures -- longer and shorter -- that this guy, very young, a house painter in Southern California, would have in the American West. And he would just kind of get into his ramshackle old station wagon and drive off to all sorts of odd places along the back roads and meet all sorts of interesting characters.
-Ms. LAURA MILLER (New York Editorial Director of Salon.com)
Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson
His previous books were set in the future. They're science fiction to the degree that they're set in the future, but they really just sort of take contemporary social and political trends and sort of extend them, you know, maybe 25 years in advance, and sort of imagine what the world might look like if we had nanotechnology and several other things like that; not the sort of bug-eyed aliens that a lot of people associate with science fiction. He's a very smart--and I would say that if you wanted a science fiction recommendation -- I would say his book Snow Crash is a great introduction to his work. And there are so many things in that book that you can see our world moving towards; a kind of gated communities; the sort of atrophying of the federal government; a lot of really sort of fascinating, shrewd observations about how we live our lives that you, you know, sometimes don't find in the best sort of social criticism
- Ms. MILLER (New York Editorial Director of Salon.com)
Enduring Love by Ian McEwen
The Golden Compass or The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman
Gravity�s Rainbow or Slow Learner by Thomas Pynchon
-Mr. KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
The Human Stain by Philip Roth
is just the best book he's written in years and we're selling it like crazy and people are finding it -- it's both tragic and funny. It's -- I love that combination.
-Ms. CARLA COHEN (Co-Owner, Politics and Prose)
The Man Who Wrote the Book by Erik Tarloff
It�s about an academic who gets drummed out of his college and takes refuge with a friend of his in Los Angeles, who publishes pornographic novels. And this academic winds up writing one pseudonymously and it becomes a sensation, leading to all kinds of complications. And it's just a terrifically amusing book.
-Mr. KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
Never Bring a Balloon into the National Gallery and Never Bring a Balloon into the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Either one is a great book to give to children who are going to those cities.
-Ms. CARLA COHEN (Co-Owner, Politics and Prose)
No Great Mischief by Alistair MacLeod
"It's a story about primarily two brothers. Although, there are other brothers you barely get to meet. And they grow up on Cape Breton Island and one of them becomes a dentist, very much sort of a bourgeois. I don't know if he's a Bohemian, but he's very bourgeois and, you know, sort of a pillar of society. The other brother is a wastrel. It reminds me, in a lot of ways--especially since they're Scots who immigrated to Canada a couple hundred years ago, Norman MacLean's A River Runs Through It.
-Mr. KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
The Onion's Finest News Reporting
Oh, it's all mock newspaper articles. And as somebody in the newspaper business, just to
see the way they deploy the conventions of headline writing and caption writing in the most deadpan way -- the back illustration of the book is about this story of a fellow -- they've just invented the remote control for remote controls, so you can sit on your couch, point it at your remote control, and you don't have to actually get up and pick up the remote itself.
-Mr. KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
The Salon.com Reader's Guide to Contemporary Authors
I took it home with me last night, and I've dipping into it ever since�You know, it's written very idiosyncratically, and it's very opinionated and very funny, and it's a guide to contemporary literature -- all these writers who've come to prominence since 1960. And it's like transferring to a strange school and finding the one kid who's obsessed with all the same stuff that you are.
-Mr. KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
Wanderlust by Rebecca Solnit
I'm very high on a book called, Wanderlust, by a woman named Rebecca Solnit who lives out our way in San Francisco. This is a non-fiction book. It's a natural history of walking. And I know we've heard a lot about these books that purport to give us everything there is to know in a couple, three hundred pages about crying or laughing or flattery and this book is so different. It talks about the history of something as simple as walking but uses it as sort of a lens with which to talk about public and private property, the history of the states and recreation and leisure time. And it takes it up to the present and talks about how the practice of walking is kind of endangered nowadays, how we've surrendered our streets and even, in some cases, a lot of our sidewalks to automobiles at the expense of just getting around and rambling.
-Mr. DAVID KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
White Teeth by Zadie Smith
This is a marvelous, very, very funny, but also tells you a lot about present England, London especially. And it's about two families: one is British, there's a working class white man and the other is a statuesque West Indian, is his wife. And then the other family is Bengali, immigrants to England. And it takes place over 50 years and the kids -- well, we all know what happens when kids grow up and how they feel about their parents in any country -- but when their first generation and they're trying to find their own way in a new country, it makes for a zesty mix.
-Ms. CARLA COHEN (Co-Owner, Politics and Prose)
Callers� Suggestions
Aupres De Mablond by Nicolas Freeling
I wanted to recommend one of my favorite mystery writers, Nicolas Freeling He's written a long series, two different detectives. But what's so wonderful about him is that he is so literate, he makes a lot of literary references that make you want to go and find that particular Jane Austen book, or that particular Dickens book. And there are a lot in paperback, so people can find them easily.
-Rose in San Francisco
The Control of Nature by John McPhee
He's more of an essayist. He used to write for The New Yorker. But his one book that I recommend is called The Control of Nature, which is a fascinating scientific study. All
these are non-fiction recommendations.
-Robert in Virginia Beach, Virginia
Danger Close by Mike Yon
It's so intelligent and funny and touching. It's an autobiographical story. He was a really young Green Beret, and it gives you a glimpse into their training. And the best part about the book is that it's got all these, like, hidden jokes in it. Like, you don't necessarily catch 'em the first time you read 'em, but the more you read the book -- I've read the book three times now, and I feel like--that I'm laughing with him; like he's just really cleverly implanted these jokes.
-Ann, Louisville, KY
Excellent Women by Barbara Pym
She's often compared to Jane Austen, an excellent writer who is very penetrating, very witty.
�Henry, Williamsburg, VA
Galileo's Daughter by Dava Sobel (also, Longitude)
Terrific book. I'm looking at right now -- because I just pick it up and I read the letters from his daughter, the nun, to her father while he was undergoing his trials. And it's just so overwhelmingly wonderful.
- Rose in San Francisco
The Golden Ocean or The Hornblower by Patrick O'Brian
-Kevin in Madison, Wisconsin
---For those who don't know, his chief claim to fame is a 20-volume series. And if someone's kind of intimidated about setting out into a 20-volume series, he wrote a couple of books earlier, and I would recommend his first one -- his first novel, which is called The Golden Ocean, which I think is as good as anything he wrote... some of his juvenilia has just been published -- books he published, I think, under a different name, or didn't even publish but put aside. But they've only recently come out into print. And people seem to think that they're as good as his mature work. -Mr. KIPEN (Book Editor, The San Francisco Chronicle)
Hyperion by Dan Simmons
It's really deep; deep science fiction fantasy.
-Gary in Ramstein, Germany
Into Thin Air by John Krakauer
or The Perfect Storm by Sebastian Junger
A great summer read... a fine book.
-Robert in Virginia Beach, Virginia
Men at Arms by Terry Pratchett
-Chris in St. Louis, Missouri
Me Talk Pretty One Day and Naked by David Sedaris
There's a book that should come with a label on the front cover that says, `May cause hyperventilation.' It's by an author that NPR introduced me to named David Sedaris. He has several books out. And I'm in the middle of the new one... And the one that caused me to hyperventilate on an airplane is called Naked.
-Michelle in St. Louis
My Family and Other Animals and Birds, Beasts and Relatives By Gerald Durell
-Robert in Virginia Beach, Virginia
Neuromancer or Idoru by William Gibson
William Gibson is the inventor of the term `cyberspace.' And he's a writer that belongs to a school of science fiction writers called the cyberpunks, although he wasn't really called that when he wrote his first book Neuromancer really sort of postulated an imaginary world that existed inside the worldwide network of computers. And that's exactly the world that I work in, as you observed earlier.
-Maurice in Cleveland, Ohio
Ms. CARLA COHEN (Co-Owner, Politics and Prose)
The Quincunx by Charles Palliser (also, The Unburied)
It's a mystery, intrigue, revenge -- it's kind of Dickens. Just like Dickens... I do like the character. It's about a little boy and his struggle to get the money that he's due... and it's -- he writes so well. He instantly grabs you, even though it takes place in 19th century England. And most of his novels do take place in, you know, past times, but he's fascinating, and he knows it all, and you can see it. He's a very vivid writer.
-Madeline in New York City
Razor's Edge by Somerset Maugham
-Greg in Boston, Massachusetts
Spindle's End by Robin McKinley
This perhaps would be a recommendation for the person asking for a fantasy book.
-Mary in St. Louis

A Sneak Preview of National Geographic's JFK Doc, Which Doubles as Local Media History
Just spent the better part of an hour watching a rough cut of National Geographic Channel's The Lost JFK Tapes: The Assassination, a found-footage doc that makes its debut Monday at 8 p.m. C.S.T. Those burned out on Last Day of JFK documentaries need to take note: It's not another rehashing of the events of November 22, 1963, not one more conspiracy-theory hodgepodge, but a crisply assembled film made exclusively from local TV and radio stations' as-it-happened, breaking-news accounts of John and Jackie's visit to Fort Worth and Dallas.
Above you'll find National Geographic Channel's trailer for the doc, which was just posted. But those eager to sneak peek The Lost JFK Tapes, which also uses audio from Parkland Hospital and Dallas police, can see it at 1 p.m. tomorrow at The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza. The screening's absolutely free.
Gary Mack, the museum's curator, tells Unfair Park that Tom Jennings began assembling the film, oh, around 1995, when the museum had just received all of Channel 4's video and audio tapes for sake keeping. Jennings, based in Los Angeles, offered a swap: He would get first-use right to the footage if he paid for its transfer and remastering. To which the museum said, Sure, absolutely.
"And he was astonished with what he saw," says Mack. "Most people think that most Kennedy footage is funky, out of focus and poor, but it's terrific. ... Some of the stuff [in the documentary] was considered outtakes back then and not of any use, but that's when he got the idea of marrying the footage with some of the radio reports."

Eventually, the museum would also receive Channel 8, Channel 11 and WFAA radio's archives; it's also storing footage from Channel 5. Mack says "97 percent" of the film consists of material from the museum's archives.
"To see this thing upon completion, it was mind-boggling to me," Mack says. "If you sat in your easy chair in Dallas in 1963 and changed the channel at all the right moments, that's what this is. Anyone watching will understand the amazing history of how this story developed. This is the real history, not history told by someone else. This is history as told by its participants."

Probably the easiest way to obtain the weapon schematic is at the F.Scott Key Trail & Campground. The schematics are located in a trailer usually guarded by a Deathclaw. This makes it the perfect area to get this weapon early on. Not only do you get the schematics, but you get the Deathclaw Hand which is hard to get early.
Another reliable way is to do the Council Seat quest in favor of Bannon in Rivet City.
