The Renaissance Fairytale in Motion. What to watch before you head to Florence:
Under the Tuscan Sun
Stealing Beauty
My Friends
A Room with a View
Made in Italy (1965)
Letters to Juliet
Florence Blue
Personalized Italy is accented by a calming spectrum of blues. Annie has selected a different shade to represent each region based on personal memories and feelings evocative of that place. While blue is a reccuring color in Renaissance art most notably in the Virgin Mary's robe, this isn't the only reason why we chose this particular blue for this region. Instead our blue inspiration for Florence and Tuscany comes from the 'Della Robbia Blue' that inspired the colored walls in the Bardini Museum in Florence. Annie is now plotting to duplicate this color in the headquarters of Personalized Italy.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WJBF) – On the Georgia coast, homeowners are cleaning up the mess that Hurricane Matthew left behind and downtown Savannah is one of the hardest hit areas.
Most of the people in Bryan County didn't get back into the area until Sunday morning. There are a lot of downed trees and there's definitely a mess to clean up, but most people say the storm could have been much worse.
Bryan County homeowners who live close to the water had no idea what to expect when they got home after Hurricane Matthew.
"I was surprised," says Kevin Trankle. "There was no water in the house. Relocated a couple of trees and moved some of the furniture in the yard, but other than that…pretty good."
A tree came crashing down on Kevin Trankle's boat, just missing his house. He says he's one of the lucky ones.
"A lot of hard work," Trankle says. "I'll probably ignore it for a little while until I feel like dealing with it. It's nothing urgent. I'll get to it, but you know, I'm just happy it didn't do any worse."
Just a few houses down, another large tree is sitting in the bathroom of this house. A similar sight at this waterfront home. Everyone getting their hands dirty to remove debris.
"It was myself and about 8 other people that cut our way down Ft. McAllister Road early Saturday morning," Butch Broome tells us. He is the owner of Fort McAllister Marina.
He says he weathered the storm Friday night to protect the boats on his dock, but as the wind picked up after midnight, he had to leave.
"We had boats coming loose Friday afternoon," Broome says. "We would catch them Friday afternoon. We went through two 55 gallon drums of what I call hurricane rope, inch and half rope, re-securing boats as they would come loose."
There are plenty of damaged boats at the marina, including one that sank.
"We got a lot of damage, but the dock stayed in place. These boats behind us we had about four or five of them that were stacked up on top of each other."
Despite the effort and money it will take to rebuild, Broome agrees it could have been worse.
"I mean, we're going to be good. We're in good shape. We've got good insurance. I hope."
A lot of people were still without power as of Sunday night, but the biggest concern moving forward is the trees that could continue to fall.
Many homeowners are calling tree removal companies to cut them down before someone gets hurt.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
To install/deploy a new release, one can undeploy-uninstall-reinstall-redeploy.
To uninstall, just go via Control Panel | Programs and Features, or navigate to the msi and select Uninstall from the context menu.
Changing ProductID and ProductVersion for the msi allows to perform an upgrade installation, for a new release resulting in undeploy-upgrade-redeploy; correct?
What if we need to (undeploy and then) uninstall such an upgraded application?
Correct, if you change ProductCode and increment ProductVersion and rebuild the MSI, you may skip one step -- the uninstall before the install of the new version. You can uninstall that upgraded app via Uninstall command on the upgraded version's
MSI or through Add/Remove Programs.
You can also uninstall it via command line with msiexec.exe /x and a pointer to the upgraded version's MSI, or by passing the product code. The product code can be a bit tricky to determine -- in the past I've had to use a PowerShell script or
tool that enumerates the installed programs to get the right code formatted in the right way for the command-line tool.
Once the app is upgraded with an upgrade msi, the original msi looks like it is rendered useless.
So as you said, the last (upgrade) msi seems to be the only one to consider.
I have not yet tried nor needed to uninstall via script, but thanks for the info.
At the moment I am a happy user of
Install-BizTalkApplication (with minor modifications), which works great with upgrade msi files.

BERLIN (Reuters) - Allianz (ALVG.DE) is planning to cut 700 jobs in Germany over the next three years, Sueddeutsche Zeitung reported on Friday, citing company sources.
The cuts are part of a cost-reduction programme involving a total of almost 1,300 job reductions, some of which have already happened through early retirement, the newspaper said.
Allianz wasn't immediately available for comment.
The insurer is also aiming to merge facilities in its operations and claims divisions by the end of 2020, the daily newspaper reported, without giving further details.
Management has said disruptions caused by digitisation have forced the job cuts, a view disputed by many employees who say the insurer's leadership is just trying to maximise profits, Sueddeutsche Zeitung said.

Work is busy with this little hoopyball tournament going on so these will be quick and to the point.
Roderick has your rundown of the midweek games.
Tim Howard and Everton were knocked out of Europa League and here are some highlights.
Some sites credited Eric Lichaj with an assist earlier this week, but as you can see from these highlights, he just headed the ball out to the guy who ended running the full field and scoring. So a little tough to call it an assist.
William Yarbrough confirmed his USMNT call-up in a Leon press conference yesterday.
Brian Sciaretta also has some news on call-ups for Gedion Zelalem (no longer listed on Germany's site for their U-18 team), Desevio Payne and Adam Henley.
And it looks like NYCFC forward Khiry Shelton might be called into the US U-23 camp.
Brian Sciaretta also talked to Jerome Kiesewetter about his US U-23 call-up.
Brian Quarstad has a piece up on Mukwelle Akale over at the Northern Pitch.
Goalkeeper Zac Lubin has left Sweden and IFK Lulea for the Tulsa Roughnecks.
Former New England Revolution defender Jossimar Sanchez has signed with Nyköpings BIS in Sweden.
And finally, someone at Nike who creates the jerseys for the national teams apparently learned how to use gradient on photoshop. And Norway (new to Nike) is getting the US' third jersey leftovers from 2011.
A bunch of random stuff so let's get into it.
Tim Howard has been out injured since December with a calf injury but he is expected to start for Everton today in their game against Chelsea.
Jermaine Jones' hernia surgery was a success and he is expected to be out 4-6 weeks.
Julian Green has been demoted to Hamburg's U-23 team in the Regionalliga. Green has appeared in only five games since being sent out on loan in August.
A.J. Soares is in Norway training with the Stabæk, but this is not a trial. Sounds like Bob Bradley is just helping him out before he heads out on other trials in Europe.
US U-17 international Christian Pulisic is now a member of Borussia Dortmund and he got to train with the first team yesterday. And here is a photo of Pulisic talking to Jurgen Klopp.
The US U-20 team found out its group for the U-20 World Cup earlier this week (SPOILER ALERT – It is a favorable one). Brian Sciaretta talked to Russell Canouse and Dembakwi Yomba to get their reaction. Tab Ramos also talked to Soccer by Ives to give his thoughts. Sounds like the U-20 team might have a friendly against England in March and friendlies against Greece and Qatar in April.
Danny Williams scored a goal this past weekend and now he wants to score a goal at home for Reading's fans.
Will Packwood looks to be playing again with Birmingham City's U-21 team for the first time since injuring his groin.
Joe Gyau talked to Vice Sports about his crazy last year of signing with Dortmund and battling injuries.
Cody Cropper is slowly working his way back into training after suffering a head injury during a collision during a game last month. This is what his eye looked like three weeks ago.
Michael Farfan is returning to MLS and has signed with D.C. United. Farfan left the Philadelphia Union for Cruz Azul after the 2013 season but only appeared in one league game for La Maquina in 2014 (although he did score).
Andrija Novakovich scored a late game-tying goal in Reading U-18's 1-1 draw to Southampton last week. You can check out the goal at the 2:42 mark of this video.
Matt Horth is returning to the US and has signed with NASL's Atlanta Silverbacks. Horth played the 2014 season in Iceland with Leiknir Reykjavík, scoring six goals in 17 games.
Brian Span looks to be in Finland on trial with IFK Mariehamn after being waived by FC Dallas last week. Span has European experience with Swedish side Djurgården in 2012 and 2013. He returned to the US with FC Dallas in 2014, but spent most of his time in USL Pro with Orlando City on loan or with FC Dallas' reserve team.
Sebastian Troupe has signed a new contract with Bærum in Norway.
Will John was last seen with MAS Fez in Morocco and now he is Croatia trying to find a new home after a near deal with Shamrock Rovers in Ireland hit a snag.
I posted last week with a link about how Kevin Garcia was making the move to Ireland with Galway FC. Someone in Ireland e-mailed me that it is not true ("was news to the press officer"). Also, Jake Keegan isn't with the club either at the moment as he is still waiting for a work permit. And former Yale and Portland Timbers U-23 defender Andy Hackbarth is on trial with the club.
Goalkeeper Zac Lubin was Kevin Garcia's teammate at IFK Luleå last season and now he is on trial with Cork City in Ireland.
And completing the IFK Luleå news roundup, goalkeeper Alex Wimmer is on trial with IFK Luleå. If you are looking for a Swedish third division to cheer for, IFK Luleå has to be winner, right?
A few links from the last few days.
Despite all the craziness going on in Ukraine, the US-Ukraine friendly is still on schedule for March 5 according to US Soccer, but they are monitoring the situation.
In the random USMNT stat department, Leander Schaerlaeckens crunched some numbers to see how much playing time MLS players have been getting for the US in each of the last four World Cups. That number has dropped from 62.8% in France (1998) to 18.5% in South Africa (2010). But that number should shoot up this summer with the return of about everyone over the past couple of months.
Jurgen Klinsmann did an interview with FIFA.com last week.
Inside World Foorball has an article about USMNT assistant coach Andi Herzog and his job of scouting/recruiting in Europe.
Here is the first ever The Brad Evans Show with guests (and fellow USMNT teammates) Matt Besler and Mike Magee. It is not great, but it is not awful. A lot of awkwardness. But I am mainly linking it because it is really funny with how much Magee gets legitimately annoyed at Evans for comparing his hair to Landon Donovan.
After missing some time with a stomach virus, Brek Shea came off the bench and played 45 minutes for Barnsley in their 2-0 loss to Wigan Athletic on Tuesday.
Oguchi Onyewu is out of the training room and is running again. He is not expected to return this weekend for Sheffield Wednesday, but he is getting closer to a full return after picking up a calf injury.
Jonathan Spector played with Birmingham City's U-21 team on Monday. Spector has been sidelined since October with a thigh injury.
After we were told that Eric Lichaj was about 7-10 days away from returning with Nottingham Forest, their website now has a story up saying that he is about 10-14 days away from returning after suffering a groin injury.
Kim Tate has a good interview up with Herculez Gomez and Paul Arriola. We learn that Gomez used to coach a seven-year-old Arriola in San Diego once upon a time.
So the LA Galaxy sent Jose Villarreal on loan to Cruz Azul to likely get some playing time and now Cruz Azul is sending Villarreal to their second-division affiliate Cruz Azul Hidalgo. Villarreal had appeared in two games with Cruz Azul's U-20 team so far this season, scoring one goal.
Bob Bradley is working his MLS connections again as goalkeeper Matt Pickens is currently in Norway training with Stabæk.
US U-20 forward Lynden Gooch scored his 10th goal of the season for Sunderland's U-18 team on Tuesday.
Goalkeeper Zac Lubin has signed with Swedish Division I (third tier) side IFK Luleå. The Montana native last played with the Seattle Sounders' U-23 team.

Spoilery Scream 4 ET Coverage (HD Video – Updated with Extended Interviews)
Entertainment Tonight has aired with a Scream 4 segment that includes interviews as well behind-the-scenes footage of a new scene or two. Unfortunately, previously spoiler-conscious Dimension Films have opted for publicity over secrecy for this sequel, so you're going to see the other side of a vital attack previously left to the imagination in the trailers.
Interviewees include David Arquette, Courteney Cox, Neve Campbell, Hayden Panettiere and Emma Roberts. Here are extended interviews:

Neo-Tech places a waterproof barrier between you and the wet world while simultaneously warming your foot up as if you were by a fireplace. Its hand-lasted rubber upper has a four-way stretch that makes this boot feel sneaker-ish. Max-Wick lines your foot to wick any moisture off of it, keeping your foot dry and comfortable while you walk your kids to school, shovel the drive, or take your dog out since Spot doesn't care one bit that it's raining or snowing. The EVA insole provides all the soft support you need to walk without a strained foot, and a DuraFresh treatment prevents foul-smelling odor buildup in the boot. And the sole handles slippery surfaces with soft traction, and it doesn't scuff up your hardwood floor.

Unanswered: SQL special chachters?
I have made a VBA thingy that runs an INSERT query. The problem is that there is nothing to stop someone from using characters such as ' in any of the fields that are being inserted.
Is there a function to first encode these charachters before entering them into the SQL query?

The DustDroid 600 Industrial HEPA Vacuum is designed for capturing the extra fine dust created by cutting, drilling, grinding and sanding materials such as concrete, masonry, stone, fiberglass and other construction materials. It produces 600 CFM and features two 30-gallon tanks. The primary AirBender Cyclone tank, which can be upgraded to a 50-gallon tank, captures 98% of the collected debris and is wheeled for easy emptying.
This workhorse has fewer moving parts and no solenoids, requiring less maintenance and providing more reliable performance. The OSHA Silica Rule-compliant semi-automatic AirBlast filter cleaning system removes dust on the HEPA filters with a blast of reverse-flow air that can be actuated while the vacuum is running without interrupting work. With the AirBender cyclone's 98% efficiency keeping almost all the dust away from the filters, contractors can go up to 10 times longer between filter cleanings.
Contractors tell us they like the unit's 240 or 120-volt power system, allowing them to choose the best power option each application. They also love its competitive price, which is considerably lower than comparable competitor vacuums.
Includes: (2) Certified HEPA Filters, (1) On-Board Separator Cyclone, (1) Metal Docking Station, (1) 3" x 25' hose, (1) Hose bag, (1) 30- gallon separator tank, (1) 30-gallon filter tank, (24) 30-gallon bags
Best For: Extra fine dust: drywall, concrete, stone, fiberglass
Use With: 1 large walk-behind (30"+), or 2 large walk-behinds (30"+), or 3 small walk-behinds (7"- 20"), or 2 medium walk-behinds (20"-29"), 2-4 hand grinders, or up to 2 cutoff saws with DustBull or DustBuddie for Flatwork shrouds, or other industrial applications. with 2 small walk behinds (7" to 20" diameter), or 8 hand grinders (depending on hose diameter)

I need this trip.
I will be running on these roads
Don't worry. They aren't all hills.
And waking up to this
And most importantly, relaxing and spending time with family I don't get to see often enough.
Here's the question: what do you change? Whom do you call that you haven't spoken to in years? Whom do you realize has been toxic to your heart and drop with surprising ease? What trips do you cancel, and what trips do you book? What can't you be bothered with anymore? What's the new you like? Think about that, and then ask one more question. Why not just change it all right now?-- John Mayer

Saturday we went to see the rideable steam trains.
The kids have a great time. Even waiting in line isn't too bad when you know what's coming.
Finally, the trains!
We even got fresh kettle corn.
Everyone had a great time.
Around a year ago, Jon decided Ceili Fey should learn to drive the tractor. Now, I didn't sweat this much because I know that, in the gear that he had her driving in, the tractor was in "crawl" mode.
More recently, he decided that she should learn to drive the go-cart. I think he was tired of her skulking about, lamenting how the dudes have their Power Wheels to drive and she has nothing. Sooooo, without further ado….
Please do ignore the awful looking buildings in the background. They're not ours and we have no control over them.
It wasn't long before she gained a lot of confidence and I gained a lot more gray hair!
Last Friday there was a cancer run as well as some firetrucks and a SWAT vehicle that the kids were able to go inside and check out.
They also had a coloring activity.
They all had a good time. Henry even warmed up to one of the firemen!
Calvin had the greatest time. It was hard to get him to leave.
Ceili Fey started seventh grade and Noah started first grade last Thursday. They were very excited. Unfortunately, Noah refused to cooperate with pictures.
Henry started pre-k Monday. He was excited but very apprehensive. Luckily, he did great. He even wants to go back! Yay!!
Even better, he actually spoke in class when the teacher asked a question. Yes!!!!

Navigating in the uk I was often presented with alternative routes to choose from but the only way I could find to distinguish between them was to view them on the map view. Because of this I often ended up on roads parallel to the motorway instead of taking the motorway directly.
Is there a way to see a textual route summary in terms of a list of road names and distances (like tomtom) instead of the graphical map view?

Our very lives are a gift, something we have 'on loan.' On some level we know this, yet we cling tightly to what we hold dear, willing it to stay. To grasp, cling and fight for what is 'ours' is the natural inclination of the ego.
It is better to live with open hands, hands that pass the gift on quickly… hands that are able to impart blessings. How do you bless someone when your palms are balled up into fists?
Stop. Look at your hands, your palms… and give thanks for having them on loan so that you can be a blessing to those around you. Surrender them to love because the love you give away is the only gift you get to keep for all eternity.
Empty palms and being a divine vessel for love in the world is one of the meanings of the Ace of Cups.
This is my understanding of the Holy Grail/Ace of Cups and what it means to be like Christ in the world: to prayerfully constantly empty and purify ourselves so that his blood can fill and renew our soul from within. Then, what comes next, in the 2 of Cups, our relationships glorify the King and the pinnacle represented by the 10 of Cups, becomes a symbol of the union of saints in holy communion.
Love and Blessings,
Lisa Frideborg

You use which software to model your units ? It is very well modelled !
Old Republic mod for Forces of Corruption. Exactly as it says on the tin.
You use which software to model your units ? It is very well modelled !
Thanks :) I use 3ds max model, substance painter to texture.
Hmm... a C&C mod for Empire at ware?
The Kodiak is an awesome design.
I never expected to see a unit from C&C to be shown here. It looks good, just watch out for those ion storms.
So, question, have you all added land skirmishing yet or no, because there are images of land troops

Someone commissioned a Kodiak model, and we decided to free release it. This is a modders resource only, meaning that if you aren't a modder, and don't know how to add ship models to the game, you will not be able to use this ship.

I LOVE Habitat Hunters! Everyone I know who has ever worked with them has been very pleased. They are very professional, they know the city, they're friendly, and they're helpful! I recently worked with one of their agents to find a rental property, and she was as sweet as can be, and sooooo helpful. We even looked at a house with a really cool lofted area that was only accessible by a steep, scary ladder…and she did not even hesitate to climb that ladder (in a dress) to check it out! Haha, it was classic. My boyfriend and I are now considering buying a home, and we will definitely be asking her to help us with that search 🙂
My boyfriend and I recently got new jobs in Austin. Our move was so stressful because we wanted to find the perfect house, but had a very small window of time. Also, we couldn't see many houses in person due to the distance. Luckily, our agent with Habitat Hunters was our eyes and ears that we so desperately needed. She was absolutely top-notch! She went out of her way and spent countless hours determined to find what we needed in time. She is so friendly, knowledgeable, and persistent. The perfect combination for a Realtor! We joked that she was our tour guide as well as our Realtor because of all the information she had for us, a great resource. If you are looking for a house in the Austin area, you need Habitat Hunters in your corner! We could not be happier with our new home!
Excellent service! I was truly inspired by the Realtors' dedication, knowledge, and vibrant personalities. My agent took the time to understand my needs and went above and beyond to accommodate my schedule and assist me in so many ways, more than what was expected. She was incredible!! I will be sure to tell all my friends and family about their service. Thank you Habitat Hunters for going above and beyond to assist me. I truly appreciate your exemplary efforts.
I am so happy with my new place! I don't move very often and I had some definite ideas about what I needed. Knowing the market is tight right now, I decided to enlist some professional help. I was referred one of their full service real estate agents, Betsy Buecker, and she was amazing. I'm not a huge review writer, but when I have a great experience to share, I can get a little crazy.
Trying to find and visit a good selection of places on my own (that would actually work) would not have been a good use of my time and not nearly as fun. Betsy genuinely enjoys what she does and that makes a huge difference Big plus: She's lived in Austin for 35 years and is incredibly knowledgeable.
Betsy was direct about what I could and could not find for my parameters, and spent a lot of time researching the area that I wanted before we even made the rounds. I got to see everything I could see in my preferred area and few bargains that I probably would not have found on my own. In the end, a few more minutes on the road meant being so much happier in the place I live.
The company was great and Betsy was so much fun to work with. She's an expert in finding what you need and has the interior design instincts to make sure that you don't pass up on finding the right place.
I was so impressed with my agent. I came in not knowing what to expect and she helped me find the perfect place. I could not be happier! So glad I came to Habitat Hunters! I have a great studio apartment and recommend anyone looking for a place to stop by here
My agent is a stellar resource. She knows the central Austin market VERY well, looks for just the right renters, and keeps in constant contact with everyone involved. I was referred to her to begin with and pass her name on whenever I can knowing she'll impress. She has a great attitude and gets results.
Our agent with Habitat Hunters is a God sent angel. We came to Austin to view homes before our move. She was a tour guide, comedian, and realtor all-in-one!!! It was such a great experience working with her. None of the homes we viewed worked out, so she had to be our eyes and ears while we were still in Oklahoma City and she found us the perfect home in the most PERFECT neighborhood. We just went for a run at the park (which was awesome) and saw 7 deer chilling in front of a nearby home. The house has everything we were looking for. Even the extra closet space I wanted!! Thanks so much!!!! If you are looking for homes in the Austin area, you MUST have Habitat Hunters. I don't write reviews often and I definitely don't brag about people. So trust me!! We will be contacting them when we are ready to buy a home. They're the best!
Habitat Hunters is great. Really. I've used them twice, and they have delivered both times. The best part about them, is that they have a unique Austin flavor, which you can't say about a lot real estate agencies in Austin. We walked in, not knowing how to go about the process, and we were helped promptly and effectively. Within a few minutes of filling out the paperwork, we were invited to sit and chat a moment about what we were looking for. The rest is history. Our agent didn't shove a bunch of garbage in front of us and just say here, pick one, instead she sent us some awesome listings she found, let us look and choose on our own, and then guided us when we needed it. She is not only good at her job, but she has a bunch of great stories to tell. If you're looking for someone to find you a home in Austin, whether you're used to our weird brand of professionalism or not, Habitat Hunters is a great choice.
You might say I'm in the process of starting over. However, as with any start over, I had very specific ideas of how I wanted to do that. Enter my agent, from Habitat Hunters. She probably took me to half a dozen flats over the course of the week before we came to one that was perfect. There were a few setbacks, but she didn't seem annoyed or frustrated or anything but the perfect Realtor. Hopefully I won't have to find a new place for some time, but I know I'd feel comfortable with Habitat Hunters on my side if I did.
Betsy's Story
Betsy was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a Catholic school education, so she may talk funny, but her grammar is impeccable. After 2 years in Boston at Emerson University studying to be an actress, she moved with her family to Texas, finishing her college education at UT with a Bachelor of Science from the School of Education (cum laude, we might add). Her acting skills came in handy as a teacher in East Austin. Her captive audience included generations of families that she passionately and patiently taught for 27 years.
Why she's a Habitat Hunter
Betsy is an Open House junkie and has owned and rented townhomes and houses all over the city since the early 80's. She loves the real estate profession and brings a sense of humor and calm to what can be a frustrating experience. She enjoys discovering new upcoming neighborhoods as well as helping her clients to find the right part of town for their lifestyle.
When her husband became ill, Betsy started painting and making jewelry as a way to be quietly productive and amused while keeping a close watch on him. Over the years, she's surprised herself with some really cool earrings, along with some really juvenile art.

|My love of October is fairly legendary and only results in mild cannibalism.
|First person to complain that it wasn't appropriate for me to watch as a kid gets thrown to Peloquin.
To explain why I loved this movie may take a while, so I'll save it for the closing paragraph. The important part for now is that it was the movie I watched the most, even more than Evil Dead 2. Because it's such an important film to me, and because I recently received the limited edition Director's Cut package of it from Scream Factory, I figured it's the perfect bit of nostalgia to delve into. So, sit back, relax, and let me take you on a trip to where the monsters are. The story focuses on a troubled young man named Aaron Boone, who often has troubled dreams involving monsters who live in a place called Midian. His psychiatrist, Dr. Decker, expresses concerns regarding these dreams and how he has described actual murder scenes in vivid detail in his sessions, leading Boone to believe himself a killer. Of course, the truth is the good doctor is the actual killer, as he is a serial killer who takes great pride in wiping out "breeders".
|Always trust your doctor, kids. Even if he happens to own a large collection of cutlery.
|Me, I think it's just him reacting to the hospital food in a very understandable manner.
|Did I mention this takes place in Canada? Such a friendly place.
|He made me want to own a straw hat as a child based on this scene alone.
|It may also because of the comment about balls.
|Fighting does sound a lot better than dying horribly. Also, we're kind of a gaggle of bad-asses.
|Because ending on a hopeful note would somehow undermine what they think this movie really is.
|You don't wanna know what Peloquin influenced.
|Something tells me they'd trust him a lot less if he showed up looking like this.
|Not that she's easy to look away from though.
|Now, if only someone would collect the old Nightbreed comics into trades.

THE PROBLEM IN MACBETH We have already seen that the focus is on Macbeth and his wife, furthermore, we have seen that the crucial problem is the decision and the act, especially in which sense you can consciously and freely choose to do evil, then do it and then be faced with the consequences. The problem is old. Socrates maintained that no one with full insight in what was evil, would of his own free will do it and that claim had been dominating for almost two millennia.

Meet Ove. He's a curmudgeon - the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window. He has staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People call him "the bitter neighbor from hell". But behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness. So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unexpected friendship, and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul. All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents' association to their very foundations.
You probably know the feeling.
You stumble into something unexpectedly beautiful and touching. The world stops. Your chest fills and gently hugs your heart. Your eyes mist.
The sensation only lasts a moment and you wish it would last longer but aren't quite sure you could endure that.
Then the feeling passes. You take a deep breath. And you sit quietly while the world settles around you.
If you recognize such an experience, you know it is a gift. And you will find that kind of gift in A Man Called Ove.
Ove is a curmudgeon who has been worn down by personal tragedy and a world apparently concerned only with bureaucratic niceties. He is ready to give up. But first, he has to teach the new neighbors how to drive that moving van. And then there's that clown at the hospital. And the mangy neighborhood cat. And is everyone a bloody fool? Can't a man get a little peace??!!??
This is a story about character and loss and love and purpose and redemption and, ultimately, victory. It is a beautiful book; the best I have read or listened to this year. Newbern's narration is flawless; Backman's characters are memorable.
You will not find a better use for an audible credit.

I absolutely loved this book. There are so many wonderful books, books that have filled my life with emotion, knowledge, or just pure wonderment. I'm not exactly sure why "A Man Called Ove" placed itself in my heart and mind but I will be forever grateful that this book is now a part of me . Reviews are certainly subjective and it is sometimes hard to quantify or justify a personal review but this book touched me in a very meaningful and special way and I hope others can enjoy this book to that same degree!

This is a different kind of book-the only similar novel is one I read this year called "The Trustee of the Toolroom". Both are about different men who don't 'do' social very well and have no idea of the kind of impact they have on others.
In Ove's place, this surly and sometimes mean protagonist swears he hates cats but adopts a freezing cat. He meets the one love of his life and she keeps him mostly human until she dies. He begins to plan his own demise but can't seem to accomplish it because people have started to depend on him.
This is a wonderful listen and one of the best I've heard this year.
Narrated by 2 different voices, a man and a woman. I listened to Newberns narration and am tempted to purchase the other narration just to see how the feminine perspective changes the story.
Well worth a credit.

This is the first audible book I've gone right back to the beginning when I finished it. I feel a little like Ove about the Audible/Amazon algorithms that suggest books for me... HOW WAS THIS MISSED???? I don't have a large enough vocabulary to explain how much I enjoyed this book. I've already listened to Frederik Backman's next book and it's good, but this one is one of my all time favorites. I can't explain. Just get it.
Highly, highly, highly recommend.

This book was such an easy and enjoyable listen and so very different. The hours flew by effortlessly and before I knew it, the book was done. How could it be done so fast? I figured I must have skipped some chapters but after checking, I did not miss anything. I guess I was just carried away by the story and lost my sense of time.
Brief description: Curmudgeonly old man has lost his beloved wife and just wants to be left alone to finish out his remaining time on earth, of which he has a plan for, yes, indeedy. Why can't they all just leave him alone!
This book is sad, happy, and funny but always entertaining. I grew to love the characters and miss them all now that I have finished my listen. Sometimes what I need is a feel-good book and this one fits the bill wonderfully. Originally, I was going to give it 4 stars but I am jumping it up to 5. The more I think of it, the better I like it. I will most likely give it a second listen. Great story, fine narration. A winner in my book.

It's been a long time since a book brought me to the verge of tears (okay, it also brought me to tears a few times). And I can't recall one that did so as often as this one.
The story takes a fascinating and fresh look at human nature. It delivers its messages effectively and efficiently and with genuine emotion. And the narration is great.
A Man Called Ove is the best book I've read in quite a while. It's certainly the best book of its type that I've ever read.
I unreservedly recommend it, especially if you are a crusty old bastard or are sympathetically inclined toward crusty old bastards.

Would you listen to A Man Called Ove again? Why?
I've already listened to this book more than once. I love the characters. They feel like family to me - quirky, funny, and multidimensional. This is a book that reminds you of what's extraordinary about the ordinary, and hints at the complex spirit inside the people we meet and think we know. I love the way the author sets the stage of various times and places through the chapter titles.
What other book might you compare A Man Called Ove to and why?
I wish there were another book to compare. This one really stands alone for me.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
I found Ove's conversations with his wife moving. Her upbeat spirit and how she loved Ove, despite his curmudgeonly ways, reminded me of those rare, gem-like people you meet a few times in your life who just glow from within.
Any additional comments?
"A Man Called Ove" and "The Good House," though both extremely different from one another, are two of the best books I've listened to in years.

Several years ago Pixar put out an animated gem called "UP", featuring a lonely grumpy old curmudgeon, Carl Federickson. In the surprisingly emotional prologue to the movie we gain insight into Carl's past with the love of his life, who he now misses with an emptiness that cannot be filled with the daily routines and mementos that he uses as a shield against the world that he no longer fits. Life takes off when he is befriended against his will by an eager little boy scout.
Take that basic outline, move it to Sweden, exchange the little Asian boy scout with a spunky, pregnant Persian neighbor, throw in an unwanted cat who aloofly adopts Ove, and this wonderful tale is off and running. In the first couple of chapters I wondered if I was gong to be able to develop any sympathy for Ove, who really was very unsympathetic. But as the author took us back to his childhood, as we meet his wonderful father, a kindly employer, and ultimately the woman to whom he would be devoted for his entire adult life, we see what lies beneath the reticence and find the diamond inside the stone. Ove and Parvaneh, his new neighbor, are the most vividly drawn characters, but other supporting cast are well formed as well, introducing us to the community that Ove has tried to shut out, but just can't ignore. The dialogue sparkles and the prose can catch you by surprise, as when Ove gives a miscreant "a look as dark as a burial at sea". This book evoked genuine emotion through the characters' interactions, exemplifying the adage "show, don't tell". I had a smile on my face throughout this listen, and laughed out loud, sometimes even through misty eyes. George Newbern's reading took a few chapters to warm up to, but by the time I was invested in the story, I was also invested in his performance, especially his portrayal of Ove and Parvaneh. I really loved this story and these characters.

We read to feel- to experience life in ways that are unfamiliar to us. We read to find understanding- to validate our emotions and actions. The greatest books allow us these experiences, often without realizing they are happening, until we find ourselves dwelling on the story for days...weeks...a lifetime. A Man Called Ove is a great way to experience and appreciate life.

Ole is 59, and is a grump and hopeless cynic. He hates Volvos and loves his SAAB. He is thrilled by road signs that spell out rules, and doesn't hesitate to point them out to anyone who is even thinking about breaking them. His outer shell like ice... until a pregnant "foreigner" and a half-frozen cat become his neighbors.
This guy is hilarious. From page one, you will either be laughing or shaking your head throughout the novel. I read this book first and liked it, but using a credit to listen to it was a good move. The narration of Newbern truly brings Ole to life, and the book went from good to great for me. Much of the humor is lost without narration.
It is an excellent listen.. the kind that makes you wish you were in a book club so you could discuss the novel and laugh with other readers about Ole'a outlook on life and people, and his un-neighborly neighborhood antics.
Don't miss out on this one!
