Solheim skipper Nicholas thrilled at Monty support
THE European women's team has already received messages of support from Colin Montgomerie and Ian Poulter ahead of the clash with the USA from September 23-25.
Monty, skipper of the Ryder Cup side that defeated America at Celtic Manor, and Poulter, who played on that team, are backing the European women in their bid to win back the cup at Killeen Castle after three successive defeats.
European captain Alison Nicholas said her players were delighted with the messages as they prepare to take on a star-studded American team.
She also revealed that while no Irish player will compete, the legendary Mary McKenna will be part of the backroom team.
McKenna's playing experience is second to none, and she has also captained GB & Ireland in the Curtis Cup against the USA and in the Vagliano Cup against Europe.
"It's a privilege and an honour to have Mary beside me. She will bring a lot to the team," said Nicholas, who was in Dublin yesterday for the announcement of her four captain's picks to complete the 12-strong team.
Her four selections were Azahara Munoz (23) from Spain, 22-year-old Caroline Hedwall (Sweden), England's Karen Stupples (38) and Sandra Gal (26) from Germany.
All bar Stupples, who played in the 2009 defeat at Rich Harvest Farms, Illinois, are Solheim Cup rookies but all four were the next in line on the world rankings list of those who had not already been selected.
The other eight and their Solheim experience are Melissa Reid (England, rookie), Laura Davies (England, 11 appearances), Suzann Pettersen (Norway, six appearances), Christel Boeljon (Netherlands, rookie), Maria Hjorth (Sweden, five appearances), Anna Nordqvist (Sweden, one appearance), Catriona Matthew (Scotland, six appearances) and Sophie Gustafson (Sweden, seven appearances).
No Irish player came close to challenging for the team, which comprises four from the Ladies European Tour order of merit, four from the Rolex women's world rankings and four captain's picks.
Nicholas, who skippered the European team which lost two years ago, said the process of finalising her selections was difficult but she was heartened by vice-captains Annika Sorenstam and Joanne Morley choosing the same players.
"It was a unanimous decision. I got both of them to write their four picks down and I wrote mine down and they happened to be the same," said Nicholas.
"I'm excited. We have a fantastic team and I'm hoping we can bring the cup back to Europe."

If 2006 has taught us anything, it's that digital animation
is here to stay. Everyone and their proverbial brothers are
taking their shot at pumping out a digitally animated flick.
Fortunately, though, Monster House is one of the few
movies not featuring animals or ants.
Monster House begins with DJ, in his own prepubescent
stalker way, observing the crotchety old neighbor, Mr. Nebbercracker.
The scrawny old man tend to chase off anyone who comes on
his lawn. When DJ's good friend, the goofy Chowder, comes
over and loses his new basketball in the forbidden lawn, DJ
comes into conflict with Nebbercracker, which eventually brings
the ambulance around to cart off the deceased old man.
Quickly, the two boys discover that the house is haunted
and assume that it's the spirit of the Mr. Nebbercracker,
who continues his cranky war against anyone who goes onto
his lawn. When prep-school Jenny tries to sell candy to the
haunted house, the two boys save her. The three kids, who
have all the parental supervision a punk rocker older sister
can provide while she's looking for her missing boyfriend,
plot to put the house to sleep and enter it in hopes of defeating
the house before it devours the upcoming Halloween Trick-or-Treaters.
The animation of the movie is finely done on many points,
but still suffers from the one thing that has plagued digital
animation to this point: making humans look real. While the
motion captured body movements and a lot of the facial animations
look excellent and really sell the characters well, the plastic
look and feel of their hair and clothing makes you feel as
though you may just be watching animated action figures. This
is not all bad as the style of the movie does work nicely
without being overly stylistic. Textures on the house and
lawn look spectacular and a lot of the inanimate objects are
Whoever thought this would be a great kids movie was dead
wrong. It's dark in its telling, not unlike something from
Tim Burton or Roald Dahl. While you could take your children,
be sure that they don't mind some scary images, unless you
want to spend some time deprogramming them from potential
Overall, the story isn't overly unique. It feels as though
I read something like this many times over when I was younger.
That's not really a bad thing, but don't expect some overly
unique story experience. Also, I have to wonder why this came
out in July rather than around Halloween as it seems perfect
for that time of year. Still, if you love digital animation
and know your kids can handle a fright or two, be sure to
check it out as it stands well in a field that's starting
to get a little too crowded.

Warning Signs
You know you're in trouble when even the "Passions" characters comment on how repetitive the plots are.
A month ago, Luis told Sheridan that he had deja vu over her getting married in his absence. Personally, I think they just crossed out "Antonio" on the old scripts and wrote in "Chris."
Then this week, Esme told Fancy how Fancy's relationship with Noah was just on-again, off-again, over and over and over.
Kind of makes me wonder: instead of writing such self-criticizing dialogue, why don't the writers just write plots that haven't already happened?
(By the way: Why is today's picture of Ethan when he's not mentioned? Because I like it.)

Practice Areas
U.S.-Canada Truck Cargo Pre-inspection Pilot Now Underway
U.S. Customs and Border Protection reports that the first phase of a truck cargo pre-inspection pilot program was launched June 17 at the Pacific Highway crossing between Surrey, British Colombia, and Blaine, Wash. This voluntary pilot will continue for up to six months and will operate Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
According to CBP, phase I is designed as a "proof of concept" to determine the viability of assigning CBP officers to Canadian border crossings to pre-inspect southbound trucks, drivers and cargo prior to arrival into the United States. It will also test the viability of developed technologies and joint U.S.-Canada procedures to conduct CBP primary truck processing in Canada. CBP has previously said that phase II of the pilot will further test how pre-inspection could enhance border efficiency and reduce wait times and will be implemented at the Peace Bridge crossing between Fort Erie, Ontario, and Buffalo, N.Y.
CBP notes that only trusted traders participating in the Free and Secure Trade program will be eligible to use the dedicated CBP pre-inspection commercial primary booth located on the Canadian side of the border. Pre-inspection will include radiation screening and basic primary processing, and any required secondary inspections will continue to be conducted in the U.S. port of entry.

Bonney Lake Collision 1
Review for Bonney Lake Collision 1
Sean O. on 03/28/2012
Spoke with Stephanie. She said everything went well and the rental vehicle was in place and ready for her. There was one spot on the vehicle that could have been buffed a little more. The vehicle was delayed by one day because the black rubber on top of the bumper had scratches on it.

As I've mentioned here more than a few times, I am a long-time fan of Continental. Unfortunately, I am beginning to understand why JetBlue, Frontier and others are thriving. I have been loyal to Continental because of their FF program and their onboard service. However, I have been extremely annoyed with the airline's tendency to shrink aircraft on longhaul flights. Now that they've stuck 737s on Newark-LAX flights, they have gone and reduced the number of first class seats on the 757s plying that route. According to the amazing Seatguru.com Continental has ripped, I believe, 12 first class seats out of its first class cabin on its 757-300s (Northwest, a Continental partner, has 24 first class seats on the same plane, doubling your chance at an upgrade on the same route). Also, one of the rows of coach that replaces first class has barely any recline.
So, to sum up, Continental has put in a row of barely reclining coach seats in lieu of its first class cabin.. (thanks to the eagle-eyed reader who noted that I originally said that the plane had 31 inches of pitch—32 inches is correct. The 757-200, however, has 31 inches.) With virtually no chance at an upgrade, why am I supposed to choose Continental over 34 inches of pitch and live TV on JetBlue? I love the guys over at Continental, but their product has become vastly inferior to that being offered by low cost competitors.

I've been reading it in short chunks as light relief in between chapters of Jerusalem. It's clever how it weaves together every scrap of background we have on Kirk (such as spending time on Tarsus IV) and fleshing them out to make a readable story. I haven't read enough of the spin-off novels to know if it's using them for additional details or not. But it is using the rest of the TV canon: Admiral Reed teaches at the academy, and Kirk does the... that dangerous thing Wesley did that was banned.
Doc Savage may be half forgotten, but ridiculously capable action men remain popular. Jack Reacher is a more modern version, in the books at least.
I've never read any Hemingway I didn't like. Same with Steinbeck.
I have never read any Steinbeck...Do you have any recommendations about where I should start?
Edit: I ask this question in the knowledge that I have promised my wife that I will cut down on my book buying...Oh well, I could have worse vices.
All you have to do is tell Mrs. Jones that your reading choice of The Old Man and the Sea inspired the new Deadpool short. Then she'll be all True Romance "You're so cool" and buy you ALL the books. Problem sorted.
Steinbeck: The Grapes of Wrath and East of Eden.
Combine Of Mice and Men with Stephen King's Blaze for a double feature. Then you could read The Stand, and then watch the miniseries, and then watch the Of Mice and Men movie -- Gary Sinise double feature.
Travels with Charley is another good read - Charley is a very good dog.
Start with Of Mice and Men, it's a slender read and packs a punch. Also, excellent suggestions by Bernadette.
Me, I feel like I need to read some sci-fi again. But not a big, epic saga or anything; can anyone suggest something recent that's idea-based and really takes off?
Have you read Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie?
No! What is it?!
It's about a starship called Justice of Toren, a troopship that belongs to a human empire called the Radch. The bulk of its crew are ancillaries - human bodies with cybernetic implants that replace the body's personality with that of that of the ship.
The story shifts between two points 19 years apart. In the first Justice of Toren is involved in the annexation of a world into the Radch empire, which ends in tragedy. The second focuses on a single Ancillary, the only survivor of the ship's destruction on a mission of revenge.
While the plot is kinda standard SF, Leckie's writing elevates the book in fantastic ways, notably through the use of a few nice tricks.
First, the entire book is written in first person with a clear narrative flow, regardless of whether the chapter is written from the perspective of Justice of Toren the ship, or Breq the surviving Ancillary. They're the same person regardless of their physicality.
Second, the chapters set in the past timeframe attempt to capture how it feels to be a distributed consciousness. Justice of Toren talks about what's happening on the ship, on the planet, what different bodies are doing at the same time. It really helped to sell the ship's perspective, and gave the present timeframe chapters a feeling of loneliness thanks to their absence.
Finally, the book only uses female pronouns, explaining that the Radch language doesn't use gendered pronouns. There are a handful of moments where a characters sex is noted "She was obviously male" is a line early in the book, for example. This feels weird to begin with, and helps make the Radch feel alien while still biologically human.
It was the first novel to win the Hugo, Nebula and Arthur C. Clarke awards, blew me away when I read it.
Will do.
By the way, let me second Lorcan's recommendation of Ancilliary Justice. It is a great book.
I didn't love the sequels too much, but Ancilliary Justice is terrific.
That sounds exactly right. Cheers, Lorcan (and Simon), I knew you guys wouldn't let me down.
God Emperor of Dune - Perhaps the most poorly written novel I've read as an adult. It's basically just a vehicle for dull lectures filled with bad phrasing and impenetrable ideas by Leto II. There is very little plot, which can be a good thing when done right but here feels like it's so because of laziness.
The worst part about the novel is how snotty and unnatural Leto's voice has become since the last book. Herbert seems more concerned with getting out his ideas about governance and human society than crafting a believable character with a believable manner of speaking. I'd have given up a hundred pages ago but I want to see the conclusion of Leto's chapter in the Dune saga, as I liked him so much in the previous book, and it will also add new dimensions to Paul's character since he turned away from Leto's Golden Path.
I will definitely not be reading the next two books.
While I did enjoy the sequels, the first one is a step above. For various reasons they couldn't catch the same lighting in a bottle feeling of the first book.
The first one suggests so much possibility, but the sequels seemed to go smaller and try to get deeper into the culture and relationships. They were interesting, but not as interesting as the first one.
I have Leviathan Wakes ready to go, either after the book I'm reading or the next. I want to get into it and the next one (Cibola Burn?) before the new series of The Expanse hits Netflix.
Caliban's War is book 2, then Abaddon's Gate, Cibola Burn, Nemesis Games and Babylon's Ashes.
Cheers. I bought a bunch of them cheaply in Chapters a while ago, and am only getting around to them now.
Hey, me too!
Well, except Babylon's Ashes, which was a present from a friend.
I second (third?) the recommendation of Ancillary Justice. I'd also highly recommend the Spin series (Spin, Axis and Vortex). It's about what happens when the Earth suddenly finds itself within a sphere of slow time and the sun will expand into a white giant in what seems like just a couple of decades.
Even for you, David, 1927 should be a stretch as something "recent"...
