Five tips for choosing the best mattress, plus three new tricks for your old mattresses.
Getting a good night's rest doesn't have to cost a fortune. Consumer Reports' most comprehensive test of mattresses found models that performed well and cost under $1,000.
"You don't have to spend thousands to get a great mattress," said Bob Markovich, home and yard editor for Consumer Reports. "Our first full performance ratings make it easier to find one that works for you and your sleep partner if you have one – and we found there are many affordable options."

» Home improvement product recommendations
Overall, foam models fared a bit worse than innerspring mattresses in Consumer Reports' tests. The recommended Tempur-Pedic Tempur-Simplicity, $1,200, earned the highest scores. But Sleep Innovations Novafoam Memory Foam Collection Serafina (Costco), a CR Best Buy at $900, virtually tied the Tempur-Pedic for $300 less.
When it comes to mattress shopping, roughly 40 percent of surveyed subscribers said that they had buyer's remorse.
Five Tips for Choosing a New Mattress
Consumer Reports' latest tests confirm that more coils, fancier fabrics and frills found on pricier models don't guarantee a better mattress. And the best mattress isn't always necessarily the firmest, even for those who suffer from pain.
- Try before buying. Don't rely on softness or firmness claims – nearly half the mattresses Consumer Reports tested were softer than promised. Gauge comfort by lying on any mattress in consideration. Spend at least ten minutes on each side, back, and stomach – depending on typical sleep position.
(See also: Consumer Reports best vacuums)
- Win the name game. Mattress makers offer some lines nationally. Those available at major retailers like Macy's, Sears, and Sleepy's are typically exclusive to those chains. And because retailers often change model names, it's hard to compare models store to store so use Consumer Reports performance ratings as a guide.
- Consider the winter months. Using a temperature-controller chamber, Consumer Reports tests found three innerspring and three memory-form mattresses that were better at retaining body heat, which should help keep users warm when the weather turns cold without feeling clammy when it's hot.
- Keep an old box spring if possible. Replacing the box spring that goes beneath a mattress can cost anywhere from $150 to more than $300. For those swapping out an innerspring mattress for a new one, keep the box spring if it is not sagging or damaged. If switching to memory foam, a solid platform may be necessary to provide enough support. However, for both foam and innerspring mattresses, some brands require consumers to purchase their box spring purchase to receive the full warranty.
- Don't forget to haggle. Most mattresses have huge markups that allow retailers to run frequent "sales" of up to 50 percent off. But don't wait for a promotion to save – one-third of Consumer Reports' subscribers who haggled slashed $150 or more off the price.
Three New Tricks for Old Mattresses
People typically keep their mattresses roughly ten years before replacing them. Consumer Reports recommends tossing any mattress that shows sags or lumps. For a mattress that looks serviceable but causes discomfort, try these quick fixes before buying a new one.
- Flip or rotate it. Many older, conventional innerspring mattresses can often be flipped and rotated. But models with an obvious top layer can only be rotated. And those with different firmness levels for each sleep partner, including some memory-foam can't be flipped or rotated.
- Check the pillow. A firmer or softer one may be what it takes to nod off. Evaluate the firmness of pillows by putting them on a flat surface and compressing them to about half of their original thickness; the more pressure needed, the firmer the pillow.
- Top it off. A mattress topper can improve a too-hard bed. Consumer Reports tests have found that paying more for foam- and feather-filled toppers didn't guarantee more comfort.

Quintiles central laboratory in Mumbai gets certification from College of American Pathologists 15189SM Accreditation Program
Mumbai: Quintiles announced that its central laboratory in Mumbai, India, has received accreditation from the College of American Pathologists 15189SM Accreditation Program, becoming the first laboratory in Asia to receive this accreditation and meet the program's rigorous requirements for medical laboratory quality and competence established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
"This accreditation is further evidence of Quintiles' commitment to deliver high quality, harmonized test results to our biopharma customers globally," said Mr Thomas Wollman, senior vice president, Quintiles Global Laboratories. "Quintiles has the world's largest CAP-accredited central laboratory network. We also believe we are the world's best."
CAP 15189SM is a voluntary, non-regulatory accreditation to the ISO 15189:2007 Standard and complements CAP accreditation and other quality systems. The program optimizes processes to improve patient care, strengthens quality standards while reducing institutional errors and risks and controls costs.
CAP Council on Accreditation chairman, Mr Richard Gomez, said, "Our goal with the CAP15189 Accreditation Program is to improve patient care, mitigate risk, optimize performance, and advance quality for medical laboratory testing. The CAP, as it did more than 50 years ago with laboratory accreditation, is breaking new ground with our program devoted to ISO 15189."
Mr Anil Raghavan, managing director, Quintiles India, said, "The accreditation focuses on the continuum of care directly connected with improved patient safety and risk reduction. We are proud to be the first Asia Pacific lab to receive this accreditation, which reflects our commitment to establishing best-in-class practices in the industry."

Term: Digambara
Digambara: Literally "clothed with the directions of space; sky-clad" That is, wears nothing other than space; naked. The name of one of the two major sects of the Jain tradition wherein the males possess no property and wear no clothes. In some Tantric traditions, devotional or magickal rituals are performed digambara. It is theorized by some that Gerald Gardner may have used the term "skyclad" for ritual nudity in Wicca as a result of his years in India where he may have witnessed this.

Makes 6 large meatballs
These baseball-sized meatballs are a mainstay of the Bi-Rite market's deli case. One is enough for most appetites, but have two if you're ravenous.
Put a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 375°F. Line a large rimmed baking pan with parchment or a nonstick liner and set aside.
Put the breadcrumbs and milk in a large mixing bowl, stir to blend, and
set aside for 5 minutes. With your hands, squeeze and mash the
breadcrumbs so that they make a smooth paste. Add the egg and whisk,
then add the Parmigiano, ketchup, parsley, oregano, thyme, half the
onion, half the garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir to
With your hands, break the beef into small chunks and add to the bowl.
Mix gently but thoroughly; overmixing will make the meatballs tough and
dry. When all the ingredients are evenly combined, shape the mixture
into 6 balls and arrange on the baking sheet.
Bake until an instant-read thermometer reads 165°F at the center of a meatball, 40 to 45 minutes.
While the meatballs are baking, make the sauce. Heat the olive
oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the remaining half onion
and 1 teaspoon salt and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring
frequently, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the remaining half
garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, bring
to a boil, and lower the heat to maintain a vigorous simmer.
stirring occasionally, until reduced to a thick sauce,
10 to 15
minutes. Taste the sauce and add a pinch or two of sugar if it seems too
tangy, and season with more salt if necessary. Stir in the basil and
keep warm until the meatballs come out of the oven.
Spoon the sauce
generously over the meatballs and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes to
blend the flavors. Garnish with a sprinkling of Parmigiano.
Add some capers, anchovies, and olive oil to the marinara for a puttanesca sauce or a pinch of chile flakes for arrabiata sauce.
Slice up any leftover meatballs, reheat in the sauce. and put them in
the middle of a good crusty roll. Then top with mozzarella or provolone.

Wow, Fred Rogers (aka Mister Rogers of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood) is airing his last new show tomorrow on PBS. He's been entertaining and educating kids with his own show since the mid '60s, and has the longest-running show on PBS, but tomorrow, he puts on his sweater one last time. PBS will still air older episodes, but Rogers is moving on to write books about good play habits for kids. I haven't watched nearly as many episodes of Mr Rogers as I have Sesame Street over my lifetime, but I found that having the gentle Mr Rogers interact with Trolley and the other Make-Believe (and real) friends in his neighborhood made it a lot easier as a young kid to cope with the adult world. Fred Rogers' theme behind his show was to let every little kid know that they are special without making the idea complicated. His show isn't flashy and he's not an exciting celebrity-type, but he's sincere and his show is a simple, positive influence on young kids.
Fred Rogers is 82, he's a minister, a vegetarian, has been married to the same woman for 50 years, has several kids, and all his sweaters on the show were made by his mother. But to many folks, he's simply a nice guy who changes his shoes and coat, and spends some time being a good neighbor. I know I'll miss him on his show, even if I haven't watched it in a while.

I would like to see a little more backbone alignment with Rowdy. You seem to allow him to line up to the right when he comes to heel. I can see his first few steps are aiming at the 2 o'clock direction. Sometimes it helps to have someone stand behind you to judge the lineup or step back to check, as its sometimes hard to tell while standing over the dog. That will have some bearing on the initial lines later on. Wagon wheels and push-pull drills really help in that area. It also gives you a leg tap tool to push and pull with to adjust alignment.

I too like to see photos of dogs standing, yes even field bred Labs, but it is rare to see anything but the show-bred ones photographed that way. You don't have to be looking for a show prospect to want to look at a dog's angulation/leg structure. You pretty much have to see a field bred dog in the flesh to see what its wheels look like, and you can't tell anything about a dog's wheels when it's sitting in the typical pose with or without a duck in its mouth.
Maybe folks in his/her area should also suggest some local retriever clubs to recommend flo12345 attend/join, guessing flo is European and there's quite a difference between their games and ours.

In a post-conflict analysis of the air strike campaign in Libya, NATO finds numerous flaws in its system impairing its efficiency, including over-reliance on the United States, faulty coordination, and numerous civilian casualties, reports the New York Times.
Despite widespread praise in Western capitals for's leadership of the air campaign in , a confidential NATO assessment paints a sobering portrait of the alliance's ability to carry out such campaigns without significant support from the United States.
The report concluded that the allies struggled to share crucial target information, lacked specialized planners and analysts, and overly relied on the United States for reconnaissance and refueling aircraft.
The findings undercut the idea that the intervention was a model operation and that NATO could effectively carry out a more complicated campaign inwithout relying disproportionately on the United States military. Even with the American help in Libya, NATO had only about 40 percent of the aircraft needed to intercept electronic communications, a shortage that hindered the operation's effectiveness, the report said.

Badgers offense improves in second scrimmage
McEvoy struggles
MADISON - The Badgers offense struggled mightily at last week's scrimmage at Camp Randall. Monday, in their second and final scrimmage of fall camp, the offense stepped up, looking considerably improved.
Joel Stave and Curt Phillips both threw crisp passes and orchestrated scoring drives. Phillips had a drive in which he threw a long pass to Jared Abbrederis and then another to Alex Erickson for a touchdown.
The offensive line opened holes for James White, Melvin Gordon and Corey Clement; and the running backs churned out yardage. For the second straight scrimmage, Clement served as the goal line back, scoring a touchdown.
Quarterback Tanner McEvoy struggled again. He fumbled once, before recovering and completing a pass for a short gain, and threw a couple of deflected passes, one caught by Kenzel Doe, and the other intercepted by Joe Schobert. McEvoy also took at least one "sack." To his credit, McEvoy did throw a touchdown to Derek Watt late in the scrimmage.
A crowd of about 1,500 attended the open scrimmage.

The Black Dyke Mills Band
The Black Dyke Mills Band — the most famous brass ensemble in the world — was founded in 1855 by one John Foster, and was named for the textile mill he built in the Black Dyke area of Queensbury, a village near Bradford in West Yorkshire. A French horn player, Foster formed his band from employees who worked at the mill that his family firm, John Foster & Son Ltd., went on to own for the next 146 years.
Paul McCartney was commissioned to write the theme tune for Thingumybob and hired the Black Dyke Mills Band to record it. In July 1968, together with a retinue of Apple staff and his sheepdog Martha, he travelled to Saltaire, near Shipley in Bradford, where the 30 musicians were gathered in the local Victoria Hall. The arranger and conductor was the Black Dyke Mills Band's own Geoffrey Brand.


text: I need to find a book and maybe a DVD on obedience training a lab that is straight forward and easy to read/understand. Here's the catch: I need it for a 10 yr old. My granddaughter wants to train one so she can be just like me! (I know that's kinda funny) She really wants to try this. So I need something maybe w/ captioned pics & as I said: an easy read &/or a DVD. Suggestions please!

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|the size of the fly doesn't seem to bother me when casting but sometimes larger streamers do. this summer i caught 20 inch fish on my #3 . you have to play them a little longer though. and i always have a net ready for them.
|Nooksack Mac
|I can't speak from Tenth Level expertise, but I used to be a regular on Idaho's Silver Creek, where I used a 5-weight, which seems to be useable even in demanding conditions about 90% of the time. I have a 3-weight midge outfit, which I used there last summer. Since it allowed me to duel successfully even with the old rainbow residents there (which I suspect, are reincarnated loan sharks), I can't see a need for anything lighter. I mostly use 4-weights for my small-stream and small-dry fly fishing; they can handle a bit of wind and No. 14 flies.
Like you, I never understood the facination with the less than 3 weight rods. I use a short 4 weight for my small stream fishing because it feels better with the larger drys, nymphs and streamers that are many times needed on small waters. And like you, I prefer fiberglass or bamboo in the short rods as well. However, as soon as rod length gets to 8', prefer graphite.
I also see this same phemonema with trico or blue winged olive fishing on bigger water. I prefer to use a 9' or 10' 4 weight there as well because they cast 50 to 60 feet much nicer than the 3 weights.
the only time i over weight a rod is in windy conditions. the reason i use manly a #3 is that it gives a better presentaion. the reason the smaller fish take larger flies is because they are more agressive than larger fish and less picky. i use my #3 on all size rivers no matter what im fishing for i like the challenge of light line fishing.
"Tight Lines"
|John Desjardins
Eddie, I agree with you on overlining rods for the short casts needed on small streams. Some streams I fish get enough pressure that a lighter weight rod allows you to have a more flexible spring when you do hook up with 7 or 8X. At least thats the theory I used to justify building a 3 wt (actually it'd be better as a 2 wt) last spring.
Art B has an article in the forum discussing his experiences with a 2 wt for trout. Its an interesting read.
Light Lines and Small Streams
I read about people fishing one and two weights on small creeks, and I don't get it. It seems that little wild fish like big flys like Wulfs and Humpys. I find that a one or two weight just doesn't have the mass to pull a bushy fly like that. Give me at least a four weight.
I usually don't over line my trout rods, but for small streams, when I might only have a few feet of line out of the tip, I like to go up a line. I like a 4wt on a 3wt rod. I like fiberglass and bamboo in these situations too. It seems as if the weight of the tip helps to load these soft rods.
A one or two weight rod might be good on a small stream...with a three or four weight line.

Discussion Also known as: common daisy, European daisy, lawn daisy. This plant is considered weedy or invasive in some locations; it recovers quickly from mowing. It is thought that the name "daisy" is a corruption of "day's eye", because the whole head closes at night and opens in the morning. Daisy is also a common girl's name and is a nickname for girls named Margaret, after the French name for the oxeye daisy, "marguerite".

(7/5/04) Poughkeepsie -
TRU - had the OTC Vaders TIE Fighter (this store has been good with keeping the newer vehicles in stock this year, but as for figures, NOT A SINGLE NEW FIGURE YET!!!!! Other than the Ultra Jabba and his Denizens sets, this TRU hasnt seen a new-er figure since the beginning of 2004. And I'm talking about the Jabba's Palace wave, STILL havent seen that wave at retail). They also had an OTC X-Wing up in that "secret area" (the panel that flips open where they put the extra stuff). Other than that, a good supply of cruddy 2002 Saga figures, some old POTJ figures (I think the POTJ line was the only one I had good luck finding a few years back), and the Jedi Warriors/Skirmish....4-packs.
K-Mart (South Hills Mall) - Nothing new. They went backwards actually. This is the place where I found just one hidden Saga Bossk figure and since then they've gone backwards as far as figures goes. They put out a case of the Hoth wave a few weeks back and its still sitting comfortably on the shelves here.
Wal*Mart - Had the OTC Luke Lightsaber. This too is amazing because this place hasnt seen anything relatively new since January. I actually picked the lightsaber up to look at the packaging and stuff, then I put it down, returned five minutes later, and it was gone. Other than that, they had a good numer of Unleashed Obi-Wans, and one Hoth Han figure. This kind of led me to ask myself "did they get the OTC stuff in?", because there wasnt a single SW figure on the pegs besides the Han figure, so who knows. Then again, this Wal*Mart and never having figures is an all too common thing. I'm honestly considering getting the OTC figures online (I ended up having to do this with the new Saga figures this year, minus the Endor wave which I dont even have still because I'm waiting to see if I can get them in the OTC wave, and the OTC figures amazingly arent too expensive online.) But I'm also considering making my figure run a few times within the next two weeks and seeing if anything new shows up. If not, then its online I shall go

Knicks/Thunder – 5 things
Posted on 23 Dec 2010 by Jordan Lauterbach.
Talk of the Knicks being overrated hit a major snag last night when New York demolished the Oklahoma City Thunder at MSG. While the term "best win of the season" is often thrown around wildly (sometimes on this very blog), it's hard to argue that Tuesday night wasn't the most demonstrative win of the year. Sure, you could argue for blowing out Chicago (ironically, the next opponent ...

I missed the original luke jedi saber. How will an led version be?? Any pics what it may look like or function differntly??
I missed the original luke jedi saber. How will an led version be?? Any pics what it may look like or function differntly??
i believe its the same hilt and everything, just an LED blade so it goes up and down and is probably brighter
The last one didn't go up and down?!?
[font=Century Gothic][i]Every man dies, not every man really lives[/i][/font]
Nope- the older one was an EL blade not LED. It only lit up. The new one wil fire up and die down... I can't wait!!!
I can't belive people are buying the old ones for $500 & $600 on e-bay! I hope they improve the hilt.
[font=Century Gothic][i]Every man dies, not every man really lives[/i][/font]
I jujst hope that the hilt is more realistic, and that the balde is green since the first was blue.
Looking for CW 2010 Sidious and TX-20...if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. thanks
from what MR has said the hilt is the same
Yeah, I think the official word is "Same hilt, updated LED blade, 3 batteries instead of 6, green blade" I DO wish they had updated the Windu FX to be a three batterie BUT at least I get to get one! It'll be here this week!!!
Yay! I didn't get the original because of the EL issue and the $$$ issue - I had enough for either the Vader with the LEDs or the Luke ROTJ with the EL, I chose the former even though Luke's ROTJ is my ultimate favorite saber. I am gonna be all over this muthah! And right around my birthday too.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
I guess this rules out the Obi-Wan FX having a correct emitter neck then. Instead, it will look just as ugly as the Luke ROTJ FX. I was really hoping MR would have a breakthrough in their design to make these more movie-like. I mean, if Larbel and Parksabers can do it, why not MR?

What is in the drug pipeline of the company?
We think we have a very exciting pipeline. We have a number of products that have been approved in the past year or so [in different countries]. Xalkori for treatment on non-small lung cancer, Eliquis for stroke prevention; tofacitinib [Xeljanz] in some countries for Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Inlyta for treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma. If you think about the overall drought in the industry, these are interesting new approvals. We have focused the efforts in our portfolio.
We have now focusing on five therapeutic areas where there is significant unmet need and where we as a company believe that we have unique expertise that would help us bring solutions in the space: Cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, immunology and inflammation, neurosciences, oncology and vaccines. We also have areas of focus in biosimilars and rare diseases. We are enthusiastic about the pipeline we have in these areas and also the way we are approaching innovation through collaborations and partnerships. Our focus on specific areas, quality of molecules, and the collaborative nature [of research and development] is novel in many ways and really exciting.
Many companies bring different compounds through the pipeline and if we stop development, those compounds don't continue to develop for many reasons. These compounds exist in large and small companies and some of these compounds have never reached the market place. The idea behind repurposing is to go back and see if there is something other than what we looked at it for. We didn't see something else to do with this but maybe someone in other therapeutic area may have ideas about this compound. Thus, we are participating in two programs, including the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) has a program called RE-SEARCH. This group has received compounds from various companies from around the world. The government, academic institutions, and NGOs look at the data and try to utilize the compounds for other diseases. This is like crowd-sourcing R&D.
Another program that we are associated with is a repurposing program run through the National Center for Advancement of Translational Sciences (NCATS), which is a new division at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the United States. We set up a platform where eight companies have contributed molecules which have not made to market; they appear safe, but development was stopped as the data didn't appear to be as robust in the indications that we were studying. Now, through the NCATS program, scientists can study these molecules for potential use in other diseases. I am excited about these two because I believe in using what you have and these [molecules] are among the most underutilized resources that we have. This is a form of meta-collaboration. NGOs, government, and others are coming together with the private sector to see what we can do to tackle the vexing problems in healthcare.
The pharma industry, especially R&D, is enduring significant changes. Many pharma companies are looking for new and more effective R&D models. Is Pfizer looking at making more changes and adjustments?
We are doing a lot of things because everyone is under the pressure to improve productivity. A part of what we do is focus on quality. We have made some challenging decisions to focus on 5 therapeutic areas, for example. Focus is one of the important elements to improve productivity. We have a lot of work ongoing that improves the quality of molecules that move forward all intending to focus on best possible success and the scientific, medical and commercial aspects of our molecules.

i always loved my little libretto ct70. it has a 120 mhz pentium, 32 mb of ram, and a 640x480 24bpp display. don't laugh!
it's a great toy, but i must have suffered three or four hard drive crashes. i think i found a solution. this company makes some cool stuff, among which are compactflash and sd adapters for ide drives, both 2.5" and 3.5". they're fairly cheap. i got a 2.5" one for like $20.
tonight i installed debian 2.2r7 on it. so far so good! this thing is like a swiss army knife with its pcmcia cards: 802.11b, 10mbps ethernet, even a scsi adapter. plus the standard serial and parallel ports (i've actually used plip on this thing in the past). it makes great quickie ssh client or serial console, and it's just an all around fun toy! and i don't take for granted the pentium's mmu, running real, albeit old, linux.
it doesn't take much to make me happy. :-)

Named in honor of NBR's founding president and his wife, the Pyle Center conducts research on Northeast Asia to advance the comprehensive study of the region, particularly as it pertains to its security, political, and economic dynamics.
Center projects are forward-looking, analyzing topics of importance for the medium- and long-term future of the region and generating new knowledge about the deep forces and processes driving and reshaping Northeast Asia. These projects seek to bridge the often deep fissures that divide academics and policymakers concerned with the region. The activities below highlight Pyle Center and other NBR events and publications related to Northeast Asia.
For more information, please contact:
Roy Kamphausen
Senior Vice President for Research; Director of the Washington, D.C. office
On February 27, 2017, the Pyle Center convened a select group of academic, government, and business leaders to discuss the strategic implications of China's "One Belt, One Road" (OBOR) initiative for U.S. and Japanese interests in Eurasia.
The U.S.-ROK Dialogue on Korean Unification and Regional Security is an annual conference convened by The National Bureau of Asian Research in partnership with the Korea Institute for National Unification involving government, academic, and private-sector participants from the United States and the Republic of Korea (ROK).
In advance of Chinese Vice President Xi Jinping's February 2012 meeting with President Obama and senior administration officials in Washington, D.C., Cheng Li discussed the importance of the visit, the challenges that Xi and a new generation of leaders face, and how the U.S.-China relationship might evolve in coming years.

eel art
eel's art is mischievous and fun. His can-cam is a perfect example of this, turning the very tool of making art into art itself. His art doesn't set out to express a profound message, indeed quite the opposite, he hopes his work will suggest the viewer look at everyday objects, situations and the world around them from a different perspective and raise an ironic smile. Eel says, 'I constantly hear the questions, 'But is it art?' or 'What are you trying to say?' I believe it's not a question for an artist to answer; it's a question for the person viewing the art, not the creator. An artist may produce a piece with a distinct message, but someone may interpret that message completely differently. This for me is successful art. I don't force the viewer towards a predetermined conclusion. I hope and encourage them to find their own meaning in my art.'

The Tourist, Steinhauer's first contemporary novel after his award-winning historical series, was a runaway hit, spending three weeks on the New York Times best seller list and garnering rave after rave from critics. Now faced with the end of his quiet, settled life, reluctant spy Milo Weaver has no choice but to turn back to his old job as a "tourist".
Before he can get back to the CIA's dirty work, he has to prove his loyalty to his new bosses, who know little of Milo's background and less about who is really pulling the strings in the government above the Department of Tourism—or in the outside world, which is beginning to believe the legend of its existence. Milo is suddenly in a dangerous position, between right and wrong, between powerful self-interested men, between patriots and traitors—especially as a man who has nothing left to lose.

"Entertaining and a different kind of "Hero""
Gud listen . . too many location changes for me and can't always keep the character names straight. . . but then I am getting old and senile. Definitely worth the price.
"Elegantly written spy story"
I recently started listening to Mr. Steinhauer's latest book, An American Spy, and realized that I would need to re-read The Nearest Exit in order to follow the intricacies of the plot. What a pleasure to listen to this book again. It was so fresh, with a plot elegantly woven and characters that intrigued. Please don't hesitate to listen to this book - it is definitely worth reading once - and yet again.
Book blogger at Bookwi.se
"Very good follow to a very good book"
I read The Tourist early in 2009 soon after it came out and I rated it as one of my top fiction books that year. These are both spy books. They are post 9/11 spy books, so they are not wrapped up in cold war like the original Borne books. They are as good, or better, than Robert Ludlum's version of Borne. In many ways I would compare them to the movie version of Borne. They are consciously post-cold war. Like the movie version of Borne, the bad guys are both inside and outside the US government and the controllers of "the tourists" (the black-ops arm of the CIA) may be as bad as the bad guys they are trying to defeat.
The Nearest Exit follows right on the heals of The Tourist, but you do not realize it at first. I listened to this on audiobook and so I may have missed some of the written clues about the changing timelines. I was about half way through before I finally put all the clues together and remembered enough of the first book (it has been over a year) to finally figure out what was going on. From that point, it was much clearer and much more enjoyable book.
I often read several books at a time. But this one I listened straight through, more than 12 hours in just 3 days. I do not read many spy books, but these are good. I am a fan of tainted heroes. Milo Weaver, the hero of these books, is definitely not perfect, but he also is not one of those tainted heroes that you just do not want to like. He has a struggling marriage and devotion to his daughter. He is less of a super-hero than Borne. I am not a fan of heroes that walk out of serious car accidents like nothing happened. Weaver gets hurt, gets blindsided by other spies, etc. There is a clear ending in this book, but an opening for another sequel. I hope it is being written.
The audiobook narration was good, but was a different narrator than the first book.
"I love this author"
I have read every one of Olen Steinhauer's audio books that are available to Canadians and love them all. The are all complex, have unusual plots and interesting locations. However, to trully understand and enjoy this audio book to the full, you must first read The Tourist which is the first book in the Milo Weaver series.
"Excellent sequel"
An excellent sequel to The Tourist. David Pittu's narration was perfect. I hope they use him for An American Spy
I love books!
"his best so far"
I've listened to all of the author's books on Audible and this is his best so far. It's tighter than the others, is well written and flows well. There were lots of twists and turns in an internatinal setting that made the book interesting and kept my attention. The character of Milo Weaver is a good one. I wonder at times how much of the European life descibed is the life lived to an extent by Steinhauer. If there is another in this series I'll look forward to it.
"I want more..."
I have listened to every Steinhauer book that has been produced for Canadian listeners. This book was excellent: great characters, great story and great narrator. Highly recommended.
This story--the whole series--is like driving by a car wreck. Part fascination, part horror. A huge helping of pity. But I'm wholly invested in rooting for Milo. I like him. I'm repulsed by him. I don't understand him.
When a writer can do that to their reader, they've got skills.
"Series is growing on me"
This isn't a John LeCarre book and it isn't a Robert Ludlum book. It's more of a compromise between the two with much of the deeper intrigue of LeCarre with the understandable action of Ludlum. Spy novels are my weakness and this fits in just nicely with my tastes. If "The Company" by Robert Littell is your genre then this may not be for you but for the rest of us it's a great ride!
"The New Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy"
Best book I've read or listened to all year.
Erika Schwartz was the most unique and riveting female character. Warning: Angelina Jolie won't play this character, unless she puts on 200 pounds. Also, the main character evolves into the most fascinating spy since George Smiley. Just when you think you know who he is, something changes. I picture Kevin Spacey playing him.
This guy is a terrific reader. He has no tics that interfere. Every voice is distinct. All the foreign accents are genuine. All the foreign languages are correctly spoken. His reading is hypnotic.
This book is the climax of the trilogy but it could be read alone. it's well worth reading thru the other two to get to it. Every moment is gripping. The suspense is nearly unbearable.
Don't start it unless you can entirely give over your life to it. Don't listen while driving -- you may have to pull off the road. Don't listen while going to sleep -- you'll never get to sleep.
It's terrific.

It's been a tough 2013 for most of China's internet stocks traded in the U.S. but some are still good investments for long-term investors, ABR Investment Strategy says.
Baidu (BIDU) has dropped 12.5% this year, Qihoo 360 Technology (QIHU) has fallen 2%, and Sina (SINA) has gained just 2%. Youku Tudou (YOKU) has fallen 10.7%, while Sohu.com (SOHU) has gained 1.1%. Bucking the trend of weak performance: Vipshop Holdings (VIPS), which has gained 66.3% this year.
The key issue has been declining profit margins, as many of the companies have been spending hand over fist to grow their user base in mobile and other business lines. ABR, however, thinks this is the right course for many of the stocks to be taking. Their analysts write:
While companies in China's internet industry managed to deliver satisfactory revenue results in Q412, most of them guided down margin expectations for 2013. This led the group to trade down and investors to have a negative reaction. In most cases, these companies are seeing downward margin trends from investments in emerging growth drivers and increased spending on sales and marketing.
While the margin guidance is disappointing, we believe 2013 is a critical year for the whole Chinese internet industry, and that company investments are warranted in order to be better positioned for the next cycle of internet growth (which features emerging drivers such as mobile, online video, and eCommerce).
They recommend Baidu, Qihoo, Sina and Youku, and call Vipshop a sell. Here's their reasoning:
BIDU: Strong top-line growth driven by SMEs, traction in mobile apps, and potential Qunar IPO
QIHU: Progress on search monetization, traction in mobile apps, and increased adoption of PSP advertising
SINA: Encouraging progress on Weibo monetization, and possible capital partnership with established internet players
YOKU: Improved monetization from non-first tier cities, and financial upside to current street expectations
ABR is bearish on Vipshop because of its "high valuation, easy entry by competitors and likely margin pressures."
Baidu has dropped 0.7% today to $87.54, Qihoo has fallen 1.15% to $29.13, Sina has gained 2.1% to $51.06 and Youku has dropped 2.35% to $16.23. Vipshot has gained 0.4% to $29.64.

Since I started the "podcast thing" I have received emails from around the country commenting on some of the topics, sharing ideas, and generally talking about their units.
What I have found is that it is the same all over.
The Scouts in our Troops still love the out doors..they love to camp, they love the taste of adventure, and love the association of hanging out with their buddies.
I think that this is the essence of Scouting..or at least from the Scouts point of view. I don't think they really care to much, or at least give it a lot of thought, about the game with a purpose. They are receptive to the purpose… but they really want to play the game.
I said in a previous post, that we need to get out of the way and let them do it. This weekend and the climb instructor course, I learned more about the Scouts we teach, coach, train, and mentor.
There were a group of Scouts that were helping us out, they became our test subjects on the climbing wall and they fed us well.
These were average Scouts, they were helpful and curious, they were playful and serious, they were respectful and in some ways weird like 13 year olds are. In short, they were the Scouts you find in every Troop in America.
The point is that they taught us, by teaching them, that these Scouts of ours want to be challenged. They want to push them selves beyond the X Box… they want to be apart of an adventure, not stuck in a meeting hall.
I had an interesting talk with one of the boys. He is a life Scout… 15 years old. He has one requirement left to earn his Eagle award and is in no rush to get there. As he told me.. I have till I'm 18.. as long as I get to keep coming on cool stuff like this.. I'll get it [Eagle Scout].
His attitude was great. He gets it, and will be an Eagle Scout one day.. but its not about that. Its about Adventure and learning, Skills and fun, Service to others and hanging out with his best friends. Friends he knows he can Trust, that are loyal, that are Friendly and kind, Courteous and Cheerful, helpful and brave, obedient, Clean in their thoughts, Thrifty and Reverent.
These Scouts, we love them because of who they are. They are kids looking for adventure and fun.. and structure along the way. They want to led, they want to challenge, and they want to push themselves… Give them a program that does all of that and you will never have a retention problem, a membership drought, or a Troop lacking in fun.
Happy Scouting!

Hello everyone,
I'm a game developer in-training and a intermediate programmer.
I know c#, c++, asp.net and html and I'm learning python, JavaScript, html5 and directx.
Most of what I've learn comes from my attempt to make a cross-platform game engine and level editor.
I know I should use free pre-made engines like Unity3D but I feel like I'll learn more by writing my own engine.
But what do you think? Should I quit making my engine and start making simple 2D games?
Or should I continue with the confidence that I'm doing something that will be useful to me in future?

Use it as an external control for my aprilaire 1750a dehumidier. Harder to wire up than I imagined... Needs 24v ac not available from dehumidier, so need to supply from your hvac system. Thought it was not working at first, but it was just that dehumidifier takes some time to start responding to control after power down and power back up. No backlight... But thats ok.
