Milwaukie, OR, United States | Member Since 2011
"This review is for all New York Times digests!"
I enjoy listening to the news every morning. It usually runs about 55 minutes on average with several US stories, a few World stories, a Journal entry, 2-3 Sports stories and 2 business stories. The best part are the opinions, 3 a day with the best of the Times Paul Krugman, Gail Collins, Maureen Dowd as my favorites.
The narrator is unknown and he does an adequate job. My only complaint would be it's not as loud as my book narrations.
If you are interested in concise summations of the news, then this is a must have. It's free with your subscription and not to be missed!
"Tax breaks to businesses or the poor? Which way?"
The premise of the book is the Conservatives in the United States have been able to frame the discussions on budget by claiming that they want less government, and the Liberals want more. In reality both want as much government, it's just the Conservative's want their government to protect the business interests and the 1% with tax breaks, protectionism and corporate welfare. The Liberals want the government to help the middle class and poor.
Things that did soak through my addled brain were:
1. We need to stand up to the Conservatives and re frame the discussion on their "less government" stance.
2. One of the reasons our healthcare system is in trouble is the salaries paid to doctors are higher than any where else in the world and the fact the government frowns on too many doctors from other countries practicing here. Same for lawyers and CEO's salaries are out the roof.
3. Mr. Baker wants to do away with patents and install a system of vouchers so entrepreneurs can be paid for their work. (Didn't understand where the money would come from, but understand the idea that people like Bill Gates made an exorbitant profit from his patents.)
The best part of this book is the new ideas that are coming to change the way we do business. I am not sure if they will all work but I welcome the innovation.
I enjoyed the narration and liked the way the footnotes were handled.
""The law is: Eat or be Eaten""
I have read this book before but never listened to it. This was a great listen while working in the garden and doing my needlework.
This book is a companion piece to Call of the Wild in the fact that it tells the opposite story. The story of a wolf who survives hardship and misery only to experience love and trust in his later years.
All is told from the wolf's point of view and except for Black Beauty I have never read a better attempt than this.
Bob Thomley is a great narrator who reads with great emphasis and empathy.
White Fang lived such a harsh life and I really was pulling for him to overcome that and find peace.
I love this book!
"What do you do with Jell-O?"
This is a fun read, but there are some very serious issues discussed. Isn't that what the best Science Fiction is about?
In the here and now, if you were an alien how would you present yourself to earth? You'd need an agent, right? That is the premise for this quirky book about Hollywood and aliens. Some things to think about: Is it okay to take over a dog's body who died of a heart attack? How about a human's?
Wil Wheaton, (John-boy of the Stars) is the narrator to this work and he does a stand-up job. He's funny when he needs to be and serious when it counts. Well done, Mr. Crusher!
I had never read any of John Scalzi's books and it looks like I will keep an eye out for more of his nerdy humor and timely stories.
Worth the time to listen!
"Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption ..."
"Man is conceived in sin and born in corruption and he passeth from the stink of the didie to the stench of the shroud. There is always something..."
I loved the lyrical writing in this story of Willie Stark and Jack Burden. It was a beautiful tragedy and the only reason I give it 4 stars is the fact that it has a happy ending which does not fit the tone of the rest of the novel.
Based loosely on Louisiana Governor Huey Long's life and death this book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1947.
It has wonderful characters and the storyline is consistent and enlightening on the South of the 30's to 40's. Instead of feeling like a dated story it feels like you have stepped back in time and been welcomed in with open arms.
The narrator does a good job on this book.
It's a classic that you will never forget.
"A great overview of this time period!"
This is a long book at about 34 hours but worth the time it took to listen. I knew little about the time period of 1815-1848 in the history of our country which is a shame because lots of things happened in this timeframe. This won the Pulitzer Prize in 2008 and is one of the Oxford History of America series.
I have seen people claim a liberal bias in this book. I can't say I saw that but it is harsh on conservative darling Andrew Jackson with good reason. He destroyed the banking system, disregarded the Supreme Court rulings, and shipped the Cherokee and other natives off to the reservations in the infamous Trail of Tears. Polk doesn't get much sympathy from him either. The Mexican War seems to have been a more unpopular war than even Viet Nam. We were the aggressor in that one.
I think it is important to read many histories on the same topics and get a well rounded picture instead of only reading Glenn Beck or Bill O'Reilly's histories.
John Quincy Adams is the hero of this book. He wasn't a very good President but he was a wonderful statesman who stood up for the underdog (Amistad) and never quit. In fact, he died giving a speech on the Mexican War in the House of Representatives.
This book covers a lot of religious history. The Mormon's, the Great Enlightenment, the Second Great Enlightenment, the start of the Shakers, the Oneida Cult, the Transcendentalist movement, the Baptist, the Seventh Day Adventist all began in this period. It takes up many chapters in this book but is necessary to understand what was happening in the country.
I also learned how European white male centered this country was and how this affected the way we treated Hispanics, Blacks (slave and free), Catholics, Jews and women. Thank goodness we have grown into our Constitution.
Samuel Morse's first telegram to Congress was the quote "What hath God wrought" which the author made the title of his book. He emphasized the great transportation and communication changes that came about in these few years.
The narrator was fine for the most part except for his few pronunciation errors in words like "Willamette" that could be jarring at times.
A great overview of this time period and well worth the time.
"Baby Genghis!"
I enjoyed this book about the early years of Genghis Khan but not as much as I hoped. Maybe it was because Temujin (as he is called) was so young and it was hard for me to be interested in his early life. I think I will try another of Mr. Iggulden's books before I skip the rest of these. He does write on things I am interested in.
Stefan Rudnicki was the narrator of this book did a fine job.
The story revolves around a young Temujin, his mother and his four brothers and baby sister surviving in the wilderness after their father was murdered by rivals.
Temujin grows as a leader and by the end of the tale he is poised to unite all the tribes under one ruler. There are good fighting scenes and gruesome descriptions of rituals and healings that were par for the course in those days.
If I was to compare this book with a book by Bernard Cornwell it would not even compare. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I didn't care enough for the characters in this story to give it higher than a three.
"A new series that I couldn't put down!"
This is my first Walt Longmire novel but it certainly won't be my last. Longmire is a widower and sheriff in Apsaroka County in Wyoming. When one of the four men who got a light sentence for raping a mentally handicapped Cheyenne girl turns up dead, he's got a problem on his hands.
Craig Johnson knows how to write characters, and make you love them. The bad guys are interesting and the story is gripping and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
The best part of the book is the dry humor of the many characters. There are so many great one-liners in the book that I couldn't keep up with them. One that I remember was when Walt asks his friend Henry Standing Bear, who has been shot, "Pain?" "No, thanks I have enough." Henry answers.
I understand A&E have a series called "Longmire" based on this series.
George Guidall does a wonderful job voicing these marvelous characters.
I look forward to reading more of this author and his Longmire series.
"The author explains her process!"
This is not your typical autobiography. It's more of a history on when and why she wrote her different books and plays. The unique thing for this is she reads it herself.
You can tell she is a very private person because there is little on her personal life in this story. It's really a textbook on how to write a book and how it worked for her.
For anyone who is a fan of Mrs. Christie's this is a fun book. Miss Marple is NOT her grandmother although a lot of characteristics they share, including a second sense that something is going to happen.
She also talks about her favorite books she's written: Absent in the Spring by Mary Westmacott (her pseudonym). That particular book she wrote the first chapter, than the last chapter and continued to write it in one day with no sleep. She than slept for 24 hours straight and the next day she read and made very few changes. She said she loved that experience but didn't know she could survive another one.
This is a good short listen and well worth your time if you are an admirer of her work.
"American history in a new format!"
This book has you looking at history and politics in a unique way. The author takes you through the original colonies and who the people involved with them were and how they thought, why they came to America and what their goals were.
We can see that the people who settled in Jamestown were much different than the Pilgrims of Plymouth. One came here to escape religious persecution and build a paradise on earth while the other came to make money and nation build by conquering the indigenous tribes and further the British Empire. Very different goals and the colonies were on a collision course. It's a wonder that we survived as one nation at all.
There are 11 different cultures in America all with differing goals and attitudes on what this country stands for. This is an interesting read and takes us from the 1500's to the present day with some future forecasts thrown in for good measure.
The reason I didn't give it a 5 star was because I think some of the facts were skewed or out and out wrong. The Whiskey Rebellion was one and I will do further research to see if his conclusions are right.
The narrator does a fine job.
I do highly recommend this book for anyone interested in the history of this nation and it's political future.
"A course that will open you to new ideas."
This course is about exploring the greatest books ever written that changed the world.
It also explains why they are great and how they affected those around them. Professor Fears is a great lecturer and always keeps things interesting. Each lecture is around a half hour each so great to listen to on your commute or when you have a short time to devote to the lecture.
The books per Prof. Fears are:
1. Letters and Papers from Prison by Dietrich Bonhoeffer
2. Homer 's Illyiad
3. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius
4. Bhagavad Gita
5. Exodus by Moses
6. The book of Mark in the New Testament
7. Koran
8. Gilgamesh
9. Beowolf
10. Job
11. Oresteia by Aeschylus
12. The Bacchae by Euripides
13. Phaedo by Plato
14. The Divine Comedy by Dante
15. Othello by W Shakespeare
16. Prometheus Bound
17. Gulag Archipelago by Solzhenitsyn
18. Julius Caesar by W Shakespeare
19. 1984 by George Orwell
20. The Aeneid by Virgil
21. Gettysburg Address by A Lincoln
22. Pericles Funeral Speech
23. All Quiet on the Western Front by Erich Maria Remarque
24. Confucius
25. The Prince by Machiavelli
26. Plato's Republic
27. On Liberty by John Stuart Mill
28. Le Morte d'Arthur by Thomas Mallory
29. Faust Parts One and Two by Goethe
30. Walden by Henry David Thoreau
31. Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire by Gibbons
32. Lord Acton's History of Liberty
33. On Duties by Cicero
34. Autobiography of Mohandas Gandhi
35. My Early Life, The Second World War series and Painting as a Pastime by Winston Churchill
The last lecture goes over the books quickly and talks about the lessons taught and that the best way to pursue knowledge is to open your minds and meditate on each book in order to let what the author is trying to tell you sink in.
I highly recommend this class. It opened up a whole new world to explore for me.

Detroit City Council plans to keep meeting despite a lawsuit saying that would violate Michigan's new emergency manager law.Activist Robert Davis seeks an injunction with Monday's lawsuit. Davis says under the new emergency manager law, council cannot meet unless they get written approval from Kevyn Orr, Detroit's state-appointed emergency manager.
Bill Knowling, Orr's spokesman, said Tuesday that Orr would allow council to meet but any voting actions would need his approval."Any action they take as a body of the city council would require the approval of the emergency manager," said Knowling. "That would mean if they voted on a budget, the emergency manager would have to approve that budget."Orr also announced last week he would restore the salaries of the mayor and council.
Meanwhile, the city is allowing residents to track Orr's moves. Every time he issues an order, it will be posted on the City of Detroit's website -- www.detroitmi.gov. Just click on the "Emergency Manager" tab in the upper right hand corner.

Pediatricians warn that a growing number of kids are taking the "Cinnamon challenge," a stunt that has landed some in the ER, HealthDay reported.
This is cinnamon challenge: Swallow a tablespoon of ground cinnamon in 60 seconds without the help of a drink. Invariably, the taker ends up gagging and coughing up the spice, creating a big brown cloud dubbed "dragon breath."
Onlookers apparently find it funny, said Dr. Steven Lipshultz, a pediatrics professor at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine in Florida. There are over 51,000 YouTube clips of the stunt -- one of which was viewed more than 19 million times as of last August, Lipshultz and his colleagues report in the May issue of Pediatrics.
But it can be dangerous. Usually you suffer burning in the throat, mouth and nose, and a bad cough. However, you can inhale the ground cinnamon, causing lung scarring and even lung collapse.
In 2011, Lipshultz's team said, U.S. poison control centers fielded 51 calls related to the stunt. In just the first half of 2012, there were 122 calls linked to "misuse or abuse" of the spice.
At least 30 challenge takers have needed medical attention, according to the American Association of Poison Control Centers.
Late last year, ER doctors at the Loyola University Health System in Maywood, Ill., saw about a dozen 9-year-olds who'd tried the stunt.

In an over-communicated world, Mynewsdesk was born out of the quest to find a faster, more effective way to let brands get their stories heard by the people who really mattered to the organizations, while at the same time managing all PR and brand engagement in one place.
With journalistic and web backgrounds, the founders hit upon the idea of creating a platform that would increase engagement between companies and their most important influencers, such as journalists, bloggers and other opinion leaders. To put the relations back into PR was their mission. Companies should be able to create and share content and gain exposure to relevant information – on their own terms. Whether this exposure occurred on the company's own website, or through other channels where their material was shared, Mynewsdesk would always be the source. This idea reflects the ongoing shift in the entire PR, media, and communications industry – from push to pull – or as we also like to see it: it's time to enter the post-excel PR world.
Founded in 2003, Mynewsdesk remains a true pioneer in providing companies with a modern digital PR service to connect with influencers such as journalists and key opinion leaders. With just one click, communicators give interested media, customers, and bloggers direct access to relevant press releases, high-resolution images, videos, and more – in relevant channels, at the right time, on their own terms. Influencers can also start following companies directly on Mynewsdesk, engage with the news content, and become part of a network of influencers.
All news releases and other PR and marketing content are presented in a comprehensive, user-friendly social media newsroom. All information published in the newsroom is search-engine optimized and can be instantly synched and uploaded to social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and Wordpress. The platform also allows companies to find, connect, and engage with the key influencers who are interested in the company's information.
In 2008, Mynewsdesk was purchased by Norwegian media group NHST, which owns several of Norway's leading business publications, including Dagens Næringsliv and DN.no. Today Mynewsdesk is AAA- Dun and Brad street rated, and the fastest growing company in the group with an average revenue growth of 70.

1. Timeless name. Think John, James, Mary, Elizabeth. No matter what decade your kid will always be in style. Okay, it might be a little boring - but their teachers will always be able to pronounce and it's too common to get remembered for being the same as a famous celebrity.
2. Go completely off the wall. If you want your kid to be unlike anyone else reach for the stars and name them something really bizarre. Your kid is destined to be awesome with an awesome name - though, probably made fun of.
3. Try a mix of the two. Why not go with a less traditional but still cool and not completely unheard of name like Ashton or Brooklyn. But be careful, these names can get trendy. But, if you don't mind that - why not try…
4. Just going with the current trendy name of the moment. Hey, everyone's doing it! Grab something from the top 20 and rest assured that your kid will be a sure sign of its age.

The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for New York City and the suburban counties.
On Saturday, a high of around 94 is predicted with a heat index as high as 101 degrees.
But heavy rain is expected, and that should cause gradual cooling starting on Sunday.
The recent extreme heat has resulted in the death of at least one New Yorker.
A 57-year-old man from Staten Island died on July 8, 2013, from hyperthermia, according to the Chief Medical Examiner.
A cold front could bring storms and relief on Saturday night.
The Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has air-conditioned cooling centers throughout all five boroughs.
Many senior and community centers serve as cooling centers. New Yorkers can call 311 or log on to www.NYC.gov/oem to find the nearest cooling center. Call your local cooling center to confirm hours of operations.
For information on New Jersey cooling centers, visit: www.state.nj.us/njoem.

OEM also offers the following tips to help people stay safe:
Energy Conservation and Power Outages
During periods of hot and humid weather, regional electricity use rises. Residents should conserve energy to help prevent power disruptions.
Fire Hydrants and Spray Caps
Opening fire hydrants without spray caps is wasteful and dangerous. Illegally opened hydrants can lower water pressure, which can cause problems at hospitals and other medical facilities and hinder fire-fighting by reducing the flow of water to hoses and pumps. Children can also be at serious risk, because the powerful force of an open hydrant without a spray cap can push them into oncoming traffic. Call 311 to report an open hydrant.
Hydrants can be opened legally if equipped with a City-approved spray cap. One illegally opened hydrant wastes up to 1,000 gallons of water per minute, while a hydrant with a spray cap only puts out around 25 gallons per minute. Spray caps can be obtained by an adult 18 or over, free of charge, at local firehouses.
Residents can learn more about how to stay cool all summer long with OEM's Ready New York: Beat the Heat guide. For more information about heat-related hazards and the Ready New York campaign, call 311 or visit www.NYC.gov/oem.

The year was 2008, the long awaited water resource development act to upgrade the locks and dam system on the Upper Mississippi and Illinois Rivers was approved as part of the 2008 Farm Bill. The only hitch, no financing was provided. No Worry, surely that would be taken care of in the near future. Now fast forward to the fall of 2013 and agriculture is still looking for those WRDA Dollars, however that may be resolved yet this year. Back in May on a strong bipartisan vote a bill to authorize funding to modernize the nations locks and dams system was passed by the Senate.
The House looked like they too were going to follow suit as a vote was scheduled for this week. However, with the death of Congressman Bill Young the House cancelled their Thursday session without giving any new timetable for when the bill will be addressed. Still most Washington Watchers say there is no reason to panic, the House bill, similar to the one in the Senate, does have bipartisan support and most feel when it does arrive for a vote it will be passed.
Andrew Walmsley, transportation specialist for the American Farm Bureau Federation says because the waterways are a key mode of transportation for U.S. goods and so many states are affected by them, support seems to be there for passage of a bill
Walmsley added that using barge traffic is more practical, since one barge is equivalent to 215 railroad cars or a little over 1,000 trucks. He adds If we were to lose the locks and dams system the question is then raised are we equipped to handle the heavier traffic on our rail and highway system. He also pointed to the expansion of the Panama Canal and the use of large capacity ships to enhance the position of U.S. Exports.
Now if and when the House Bill does get passed, there is still the hurdle of working out the differences between the House and Senate version. The biggest difference seems to be that the Senate bill would leave approval of water related projects to the executive branch while the House version calls for that authority to stay with Congress. Nothing is ever easy in Congress.

The number of MRSA cases among children in New York City has doubled in recent years. The infection can potentially become life-threatening.
Children who get methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus infections are often misdiagnosed, doctors say. Kids used to get the infections primarily in hospitals, but now infections can happen where they play.
MRSA is an antibiotic-resistant staph bacterium that usually begins like a pimple but can progress to a life-threatening infection overnight.
Children in particular are especially susceptible, Dr. Mehmet Oz says. The host of "The Dr. Oz Show" says that's because children's immune systems aren't as developed as adults'. He says that if your child, especially a younger one, has a pimple that doesn't improve in several days you should have your doctor check for MRSA.
In 2007, New York City saw 600 reported cases of MRSA in children ages 5 to 18, according to the Department of Health. In 2011, 1,571 cases of MRSA among children were reported out of roughly 15,000 cases overall.
Most cases still occur in health care facilities, but MRSA has spread to the outside community. For kids, this means playgrounds, daycare centers or schools -- anywhere they interact and or can get cuts on their skin.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that MRSA is treatable with more powerful anti-biotic medication, but can return. So the CDC emphasizes prevention by being clean, washing hands and any cuts, and by not sharing equipment or towels especially in contact sports teams.
MRSA is potentially dangerous for anyone with a weak immune system. The head of the National MRSA Survivors Network says it is underreported.
The Network reports that more Americans die every year from invasive MRSA infections than from HIV/AIDS or H1N1 flu.

Hi everyone! It's Val over at PinkPlease! bringing you another double recipe. Taking a spin off my last Moda Bake Shop recipe, Just Playin' Around {Baby Changing Pad & Matching Play Mat}, I wanted to show you another fun creation you can make using the circular quilt pattern. With just one Jelly Roll (plus some extra fabric for the back and piping), you can make two matching oversized floor pillows.
I am teaming up with the Fat Quarter Shop to help you with your Sherbet Pips collection (or any other Moda fabric) so that you can make a few pillows of your very own. If you'd like a chance to win a $25 gift certificate to The Fat Quarter Shop, stop on over to my blog for a giveaway today!
2 1/2 yards of fabric for the pillow bottom
***Read the entire recipe before starting. By doing this, you will learn how to use the scraps of the larger pillow to make the top of the smaller pillow.
|The piece of the left will be used for the large pillow top,
the scrap on the right will be used for the smaller pillow top.
|Here it is after "trimming it up."
27. Begin sewing 2" in from where you put your first pin (don't forget to backstitch a few stitches to lock in your seam so that when you are stuffing the pillow, the thread won't come out). The reason you leave a little bit of it unsewn at the beginning is to make it easier to finish the piping after you have stuffed your pillow.
|You can make some seriously cute buttons with Sherbet Pips!!!
You just finished a beautiful jelly roll pillow!
Continue all the way around the circle.

Hi! My name is Erica and I blog over at Kitchen Table Quilting. I am so excited about Moda's new honeycomb pre-cut and this is a fun, quick way to put them to good use. There are no Y seams involved and it yields a generously sized lap quilt.
1 Honeycomb Hexagons in Natural
2 Boho Jelly Rolls
2 Yards Moda Bella in Sienna
4.5 Yards Boho Wild Child Rain
2/3 Yard Boho Basic Earth
Batting at least 80"x90"
1. Unroll your jelly rolls and put the matching strips into pairs. You will need 36 pairs of strips.
- Pile for the inner ring: two 3.5" pieces, 2 of the 5.75" pieces, 2 of the 8" pieces.
- Pile for the outer ring: two of the 5.75" pieces, two of the 8" pieces, two 10.25" pieces.
5. Each honeycomb hexagon will need a set for the inner ring and a set for the outer ring. Take a hexagon and sew a 3.5" piece to the top and bottom of the hexagon. Make sure to center your jelly roll piece over the side of the hexagon so a little bit hangs over on each side.
11. Now, using a different print, add two 5.75" pieces to two opposite sides of your hexagon, press, and trim.
12. Add the 8" pieces, press, and trim.
14. Cut your solid yardage into seven inch x width of fabric strips. You will need 9 strips, each strip yields 8 equilateral triangles.
15. To make equilateral triangles, lay a 7 inch strip (folded in half) on your cutting mat. Line up the 60 degree mark on your ruler with the top of the fabric.
16. Cut along the edge of the ruler.
21. Add a third triangle to make three "C' hexagons.

Hitman: Absolution review: beautiful contracts
Hitman: Absolution is nearly everything I want from a video game. It's beautiful, big, and an absolute blast to play. While far from perfect, the addictive stealth gameplay of Hitman kept me coming back for more. IO Interactive has crafted a game filled with so many interesting sandboxes to play in, that it's hard not to come back over and over again, long after the credits have rolled.
Absolution is one of those rare games where you'll want to play just to experience the graphics. IO's new Glacier 2 engine pulls off some incredible visuals, among the best this generation has to offer. Particularly impressive are the scenes where the engine renders hundreds of NPCs for Agent 47 to walk through. Whether you're playing in a train station, a bar, or a strip club, the game manages to always throw some eye candy.
Each environment you play in feels thoroughly realized. In fact, the world can seem intimidating at times. The first time you're dropped into Chinatown, you must come to grips with the hustle and bustle of hundreds of people moving around. Then, you'll have to grasp how large the environment is, with tons of side alleys and restricted areas to access. And then you'll start realizing how many toys there are: whether it's a cup of coffee, a glass bottle, or a piece of sushi--there's so much you can interact with in your quest to take down your target.
IO clearly revels in how much they've jammed into each level in the game. At the end of a mission, you'll see a summary of what you've achieved, and what you've missed. A catalog of every interactive object in the environment is revealed, letting you ponder questions like "I wonder how I can use a bong to kill someone?" Each mission also includes a number of challenges that give you potential recipes for death. For example, if you really want to, you could dress up as a samurai and kill someone silently with a katana. And that's just one way to off your target.
Because there are so many ways to complete a level, achieving a perfect kill becomes all the more satisfying. It's one thing to kill your target and everything else in the way; it's another thing entirely to kill only your target--and make it look like an accident. By trying to make these "happy accidents" happen, Hitman: Absolution is, in many ways, like playing your own Home Alone--albeit a lot deadlier.
I personally attempted to do a "perfect" run for every level, resetting the level every time something went awry. However, Absolution offers enough flexibility where you don't have to play like that. With five difficulty levels, the game certainly tries its best trying to cater to a broad audience. Longtime fans will probably want to play the more hardcore modes, which introduces smarter enemies and gets rid of many of Agent 47's supernatural "Instinct" abilities. However, on the easier side of things, you'll be able to shoot your way out of most tight spots. (This video from Conan O'Brien is pretty representative of how a "bad" player on Easy difficulty might play.)
The game is littered with so many "did I do that?" moments that it becomes easy to ignore some of the game's more problematic aspects. In one level, I was able to steal a judge's outfit and walk into a courtroom and dismiss it. Moments like that help me forget the sometimes frustrating (and unbelievable) AI and glitchy checkpoint system.
Perhaps the game's biggest flaw is its tone. The story takes itself very seriously, in spite of it being focused on some absurd sci-fi nonsense. It's difficult to tell what IO was trying to do with the characters: were they meant to be intentionally funny, or are they simply poorly designed? Given the story features sexy ninja assassin nuns and a villain with a robotic hand, I wonder why the game takes itself so seriously.
In spite of the terrible story, the occasional glitch, and AI snafus, Absolution's gameplay has me coming back. And so long as there's still new exciting challenges for me to try and unlock I don't see myself quitting for quite some time.
This Hitman: Absolution review was based on a debug Xbox 360 version of the game provided by the publisher. The game will be available on November 20th on Xbox 360, PC, and PlayStation 3.

Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson went on a camping trip. As they lay down for the night, Holmes said Watson, look up into the sky and tell me what you see?"
Watson said "I see millions and millions of stars."
Holmes: "And what does that tell you?"
Watson: "Astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Theologically, it tells me that God is great and that we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it tells me that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
Holmes: "Somebody stole our tent."

I confess that I got a performance review today at work. I was pretty darn nervous about it. I really feel like I have been slacking lately due to lack of motivation and just not wanting to be there. Also with the new paperwork that rolled out on 1/1, it has slowed down the whole process for me. I'm the only one that does my job and it should really be a full time job, especially with the new paperwork, but I cram all that I can into my part time hours. Some weeks I do great and others it feels like I will NEVER catch up.
I got "far exceeds expectations" (the highest grade) on every single category and she wrote the best comments about me in each category too. I also got a raise and she BEGGED me to pleeeeeeeeeeease come back after the baby is born.
I left work today feeling pretty darn good.
Aww Bridget, what a horrible day! I hope your dad is ok. I'm sure that's the last thing you want to be worrying about right now.
WTG Janeen!!
I confess I had a long chat with my coworker today about doing a PhD. She is a PhD student and is trying to convince me to do it, too. I told DH about it and he really wants me to do it. If I can get a stipend to go to school and earn some money working part time I would actually make more than I am earning now so in that way it makes a lot of sense. Unfortunately it means sending an email to the Department Head who intimidates the heck out of me and I'm sure has forgotten me and asking her if she would be willing to be my supervisor if I apply. And then finding academic references when I've been out of school for four years, and getting all of that done and packet submitted before Feb 1st. I'm totally intimidated and not even sure this is what I want to do but I feel like I should at least explore the possibility. Eek!
Any of you ladies who are studying for or have a PhD, if you have any advice about what to say to the Department Head please let me know!
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
It actually sounds like a good idea. I would talk more to your friend who will know important details about the politics in the department. I find that sort of thing will have a huge influence over how to approach profs and who exactly to talk to.
I think in your case being out of school for a while is probably fine, admissions-wise. You've been working in the field so that can only help. I would put together at least part of your application (especially any essays if there are any) before you talk to the dept head. She might want to look at that before giving you an answer, so it would be nice to be prepared.
Bridget - I'm so sorry. What a sh!tty end to a crappy day.
And Janeen - AWESOME! That has to feel good!
Career-wise, well it's mostly just the prestige factor. If I stay in my current job having a PhD will entitle me to a whopping $2000 extra per year. And I already have all the certification I need to work in any environment other than a university. So basically if I do this I'm pretty much guaranteed to work in academia at some level. On the other hand, there is a PhD shortage in my field ... not many people are willing to do it for the reasons I just stated ... so the faculty will really bend over backwards if they find a willing sucker (I mean student).
I had a chat with my friend already about the dynamics of who is best to approach and really this one professor is the one I need to work with. She's brilliant, but has a memory like a sieve and never remembers anyone. My friend said not to worry about it, just talk to her, but I agree with you I should be prepared.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
DH likes the country club idea and he also mentioned another place nearby that does catering. I thought he'd shoot it down for one reason or another but he seems happy with it. He did say I should call first though so someone will be ready to meet with me to give me the application, take my resume, hire me on the spot, or whatever. ;) I should have listened to you Bridget
"Any idiot can face a crisis; it is this day-to-day living that wears you out." -Anton Chekhov
Yeah, I dunno. I am not doing a Master's thesis because I *know* I don't want a PhD. Mike would kill me, I'd have to go another 3 years and we couldn't handle it. However, I think it'd be more than prestige. . . working as a researcher would be no fun. . .but clinical faculty training students (like me?) THAT I'd be into. But you wouldn't necessarily need a PhD to GET that job. . .it's not a bad idea and certainly can't hurt. . I just know it's nothing I'm interested in doing. ..at least not now or in the next 18-23 years
Kate, mama to Madi (4/18/08) and Jacob (10/8/10)
And yeah, you don't NEED a PhD for a clinical faculty position (thought it helps). I'd totally be up for that, though ... sitting back and letting my students do all the work for me! Sweet! (Although remembering how stressed out my supervisors always were it probably isn't all that great of a job. Scheduling is probably the least enjoyable part of what I do and they did a ton of that).
I told my friend today I'm tired of thinking up ideas for tx and I just want a job where I can evaluate all day. That's why she thinks I should be a researcher. I have to say she does have a point.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I confess I shaved my armpits today.
I also confess I didn't want to put up with the chin hair I've developed and shaved my chin and 'moustache'. The last time I waxed them, I broke out in hives and had an allergic reaction and the tweezers just weren't cutting it.
I also confess I think I need to see a gastroenterologist. I'm having problems with food sticking, I have been having to puke up what I'd just eaten because it got stuck. AND it's below the anatomy I know well, and not related to my swallow so I can't help myself (lol) Grrrrrr....
Kate, mama to Madi (4/18/08) and Jacob (10/8/10)
I just have to say that dysphagia drove me crazy with imagined symptoms. I think I aspirate about 3-5x/week, particularly with liquids, which terrified me at the time. Now I just ignore it.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
I confess I have to be up at 5:30 tomorrow to drive to Phoenix and spend the day in the company my psycho crazy ex principal, then drive back home and work as scheduled on Friday. That's 300 miles of driving tomorrow in addition to the full day training and the crazy. Why am I still on APA and not in bed or at least in the shower?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Hmm...perhaps you should refer yourself to a GI. That doesn't sound good.
By the way, how is your eye?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
Yeah, It's funny, I remember before the dysphagia class that I was like, "hmm, I wonder if I'll find out why stuff gets "stuck". This was last spring. I then discovered that the area on me is below what we treat and I was like," oh well, I'm eating too fast". And it's just gotten worse. Stupid anatomy.
The eye is a lot better. It's working much better with the right eye and looks fairly normal now. . .I have a f/u next week with my ophthalmologist. Hopefully she doesn't think I need surgery again, but it's not *quite* where I think it should be. . . I'll try and take pics here in a second. . .
Kate, mama to Madi (4/18/08) and Jacob (10/8/10)
To ask a really dumb question since you mentioned a GI, it's sticking in your esophagus?
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
yeah, pretty sure. near the top.
Kate, mama to Madi (4/18/08) and Jacob (10/8/10)
Ick. Can't help you.
Off to bed now. Wish me luck with the crazy tomorrow. Really not looking forward to it.
Me (40) DH (47) & furbabies * m/c 7/08 4/12 11/12
No worries! good luck tomorrow and good night!
Kate, mama to Madi (4/18/08) and Jacob (10/8/10)
Luna, sounds like you need an EGD. Mid-esophageal strictures are frequently benign Schatzki's Rings and most can be resolved for a long time with a simple dilation during the sedated procedure. You don't want to get anything stuck in there for any length of time, or have an episode where you can't clear it.
I confess I've been distracted because I've been singled out by a powerful doctor in our department, who is really vindictive and hostile, for bringing up a patient care issue. I just wrote more about it but ended up deleting it because I'm nervous.
Oh, Lydia! That does sound frightful. I'm so sorry!
Ashley, how was your first day? I always had such anxiety when I started new jobs.
I confess I mostly skimmed the last 3 pages. Sorry I haven't been in here more. 2010 sucks donkey balls so far, seriously.
Sometimes when swallowing it felt like it would stick in a lump halfway down. Created a pressure on my chest like an elephant was sitting there, hence our term for it. Episodes last anywhere from a few seconds up to 5-6 hours. I hyper-salivate when it happens, and can't swallow anything, so there's a lot of spitting. Sometimes there is horking. It usually resolves itself with a ginormous burp or sometimes with the horking, but not always. I've just sort of learned to live with it and avoid/minimize things that tend to trigger it (steak and highly carbonated drinks).
Liam was a few months old and I had a cold. Not being able to take much while BF, I decided to try the eating raw garlic thing. Smashed a clove into smaller pieces and swallowed the bits like you would a pill. Bit #2 caused an elephant. I was up all night dealing with it - more than 12 hours. In the morning DH took me to the hospital. Ended up being referred to for an outpatient procedure where they scoped me to take some pictures.
Eosinophilic esophagitis. After 19 years I finally know it's real name. Seriously pissed off that the docs more than a decade ago never bothered to scope me. The good news - there's an easy treatment (6 weeks of a steroid? nasal spray down the throat). Bad news - none of the sprays used for treatment are breastmilk compatible. It's not life-threatening, just annoying and inconvenient, so I opted to wait until we wean. Of course at the time I didn't know how much I would learn to love BF and now play to go till 2 years and play it by ear after that.

You've planned and budgeted for your trip... figuring in everything from the airfare to the hotel to the rental car... but it's always hard to estimate what you're going to dole out in tips.
How much should you tip anyway? We all know that waiters and waitresses get 15-20% ( click here for a printable tipping table), but, what about all the other people who help you on your trip... taxi drivers, bellmen, the concierge?
While everybody has their own criteria and there are no hard, fast rules... there are guidelines that can help you determine the appropriate tips for all those people who make your vacation just a little better.
*The tipping suggestions below are for within the United States only, tipping policies differ immensely in different countries. When travelling abroad, ask your hotel's concierge what general tipping behavior is.
|Taxi Driver
|15% or $1-2, whichever is higher
|Luggage Handler at airport
|Curb side check-in
|Valet attendant
|$1-2 when the car is returned

Rated 2 out of 5Â by null nsg Did not meet my expectation. I purchased some super soft and confortable Reebok shirts several years ago, but this cotton was pilled and uncomfortable compared to those. No more for me via internet. Must see them first. 7/14/11
Rated 2 out of 5Â by igorjrr Too big The medium size is absolutely too big! Quality is nice, made in Vietnam. 7/24/12
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ken Good Tee this T shirt is made of good material. I will definitely buy again. 11/14/11
Rated 4 out of 5Â by carlos combed cotton tee would like it to be longer in length...nice quality tee. 7/16/11
Rated 1 out of 5 Shirt was awful on all aspects I ordered a medium in which most fit well. This was huge, wide and thick. Very uncomfortable shirt. I don't recommend to anybody with an athletic build. 3/28/13
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Giacomo Grey vs. White cotton tees These are definitely not the same cotton tees that I bought a couple of years ago. It's a bigger shirt now, so buy one size smaller despite being all cotton. I bought these shirts because of the crew neck collar. However after washing one time the white ones now have a "bacon" collar that's all wavy. The grey ones have maintained their nice flat collar without the waves. Different materials I guess. Not worth $22 bucks a pop. Just saying. 1/15/14
Rated 5 out of 5Â by cavej77 over all I trully enjoy wearing my white tee shirt that I purchased for reebok. It fit like a glove and everyone that saw me in it asked if I had been working out cause the shirt made me look more defined. I am looking forward to picking up more shirts like this in the future cause it really looks good on me. 7/29/13
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TTA53 GREAT PRODUCT QUALITY MOST T-SHIRTS I PURCHASE SHRINK OR SAG AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME.THESE SHIRTS MAINTAIN THERE SHAPE AND COLOR.HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE T-SHIRTS 6/19/13

I would LOVE Razz & Broom to add to my collection.
Well now that the Filmation characters are available I think it's time for the good ol witch to get her own thread!
Can't wait to get her! Maybe she can come with the 3 main twiggets as accessories? and broom of course. She will need a new sculpt so I hope they don't delay her too much.

My MOTUC top 10 wants (POST SDCC 2014):
Queen Angella - Hunga the Harpy - Peekablue - Toy Catra - Veena - Red Knight - Vultak - Dylamug - Sibyline - Kex Queen
Small creatures that need to happen: 3 main twiggets
I would LOVE Razz & Broom to add to my collection.
Please i want her!!!!!!!
I'd love Madame Razz and Broom! Bring'em on!
I'd love to see her as soon as possible.
One request: the pinwheel on her hat must spin!
Vintage NA for MOTUC!! LET'S GO~~
MOTUC wants: KAYO, Angella, Perfuma, Peekablue, Darius, Drissi, Sebrian, Crita, Hoove, Mara, Staghorn, Crystoll, Quakke, B.H., Lizzor, Lord Masque, Chef Allen, Sssqueeze, Clawdeen, Granita, Hunga, Kothos, King Ahgo, the Twiggets, Meteorbs
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon
Now that Sorceress and Shadow Weaver have been confirmed, Madame Razz is my next most wanted Filmation female figure.
Broom should come with a flight stand so they can be placed in a flying pose.
Madam Razz is up there on my most wanted Filmation characters list.
Oh yeah, definitely!
There were only two Filmation characters that mattered most for me.... one was revealed today (Shadow Weaver) and number two is Madame Razz (okay, three if you count Broom lol). Now as cool as a lot of the one-shot characters are that people keep mentioning, to me Razz is a must as she was a regularly featured and main character.
I would buy a three pack with them two and Kowl in an instant!
Madam and Broom are absolute must-haves!
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Subscribe for MOTUC 2015!!!
Yes please!
The rebellion couldn't be complete without her!
my feedback thread:
Madam Razz and Broom are very important POP characters, and so is Kowl. They should be released as soon as possible !
absolutely needed, her and seahawk need figures as soon as possible, fill out the ranks of the great rebellion.
I"m so very on board here.
I still cant believe FILMATION IS REALIZED! it really feels like a dream come true.
Oh sure, I was certain that they'd eventually spring it to reinvigorate the line, like say in 2014 or something but WOW!
I hope this doesnt show they need that reinvigoration NOW!
I can wait for her, but I am glad to have her. HOpe broom is a cool accessory, and no, I dont need much in the way of articulation for him. Bendy arms would probably bee fine, but I'll take arm articulation. Flying broom arms straight out capabilities, just standing around arms relaxed capabilities.
As for Razz, I trust the boys to do it right.
Like Shadow Weaver I think Razz is long over due to be made as a figure. I would love to see her and Broom in this awesome line up of action figures!
I was thinking what if she would be a con exclusive with her broom and Kowl being all three would be a lot of new tooling. One way we get Razz packed out the other way we get Kowl.
Now that Sorceress and Shadow Weaver have been announced, Madame Razz is my #1 wanted figure! PLEASE make it happen sooner rather than later Matty!
What if they do a sexy Madame Razz with the new female buck. Would you guys go for that?
Planet Claire has pink air
All the trees are red
No one ever dies there
No one has a headThe B-52's
seeing as she is smaller and a different bulid from the other characters, I'd love to see her in a special pack, ala the star sisters, with possibly twiggets, lookee and kowl.
call it "etherian creatures" or "friends of the great rebellion" ??
