Binghamton University to hold commencement ceremonies May 20-21
Binghamton University will confer more than 3,600 degrees for bachelor's, master's and doctoral candidates during the 2006 Commencement ceremonies Saturday, May 20, and Sunday, May 21, in the Events Center on campus.
The ceremony for the Graduate School will be held at 5 p.m. Saturday. On Sunday, the ceremony for the professional schools will begin at 9 a.m. and the ceremony for Harpur College of Arts and Sciences graduates is scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m.
Dr. Erwin Goldberg, a prominent reproductive biologist and Harpur College graduate; Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Linda Greenhouse; and world-renowned percussionist Evelyn Glennie will receive honorary degrees from the University during Commencement ceremonies.
Goldberg 'will receive an honorary degree and speak at the Graduate School Commencement ceremony. He has sought to extend basic observations from the laboratory to the bedside throughout his career. Currently professor of biochemistry, molecular biology and cell biology at Northwestern University in Evanston, Ill.,
Goldberg began his undergraduate years at Triple Cities College in 1947, and, following the rededication of the school as Harpur College, became a member of the first Harpur College graduating class, earning his bachelor's degree in biology.
Greenhouse, a journalist and longtime Supreme Court correspondent for The New York Times, will receive a Doctor of Humane Letters and make remarks during the Commencement ceremony for professional schools.
Greenhouse has been recognized for her reporting excellence on numerous occasions by organizations including the New York State Bar Association, the American Law Institute and the American Political Science Association. In 1998, she received the Pulitzer Prize in journalism for beat reporting, considered the premiere recognition of journalistic excellence.
Since 1980, Greenhouse has appeared regularly on television as a panelist on PBS' Washington Week in Review. She is the author of Becoming Justice Blackmun, published in 2005 by Henry Holt and Co.
World-renowned percussionist Evelyn Glennie, profoundly deaf from the age of 12, will receive an honorary degree and speak at the Harpur College of Arts and Sciences Commencement.
Glennie made her solo debut in 1986 in London. After a year of study in Japan, she joined conductor Sir George Solti and pianists Murray Perahia and David Corkhill for a performance filmed for a CBS documentary. A recording from that performance of Bartok's Sonata for Two Pianos and Percussion won a 1988 Grammy Award for best chamber music performance. She has since been nominated twice for Grammy Awards, winning a second, and was nominated for a British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award, the equivalent of an Oscar, for her first high-quality drama score.
Glennie often performs barefoot, more to move about with ease during her energetic performances than to feel the vibrations. She can distinguish different vibrations and has said she feels the vibrations from low-pitched tones in her legs and feet and those from higher pitched tones on her face, neck and chest.
Glennie published an autobiography in 1990 titled Good Vibrations. She has appeared in three documentaries on her life, most recently a 2004 production titled Touch the Sound.

Do you know where I could find photos of him in robot mode from various angles? The instructions kinda went south when they asked that I rotate the wheels in a way that they physically couldn't rotate without breaking something, so maybe I totally blew the last few steps.
I really, really wish they'd put words in these instructions like in the original line.

What is it about some websites that makes them popular destinations for a huge number of visitors? Why are some blogs checked out by tens of thousands of people every day while others struggle to find a single visitor? The issue of traffic can be complicated. There are a variety of factors at play, and every strategy can be dissected and the details debated forever.
However, there are two keys to traffic upon which everyone can agree: Content and Links.
Before briefly looking at each of these, we should establish some context for our evaluation. Traffic can come from a few different places. Direct links to your site
may produce a stream of visitors if those links are in the right places. Search engines, however, offer the real key to high volume traffic numbers. Surfers rely on Google, Yahoo and MSN to help them find the sites that will provide them with the kind of information they are seeking. If your blog comes up early in those search engine results, you can expect a significant stream of traffic. Content is essential to traffic flow. You have to offer something that makes your site worth visiting. Content creates repeat visitors, increases their stay, encourages word-of-mouth type promotion and assists in improving a blog's standing with the search engines.
Every link can conceivably serve a traffic producer. If someone finds a link to your blog on another site, they are only one mouse-click away from being part of your traffic. Search engines also assess the number and quality of links to your blog. They regard sites that are linked to frequently as authoritative and reward them with higher placement in search engine results.
So, if you want traffic to your blog, you need to do two things: Provide content and acquire links.
Over the next few weeks I will be writing up how I am trying to gain more visitors and build my Pagerank (and gain a PR back) on my blogs. I would love it if you, my readers, shared what was successful for you!

Since I work in marketing, and advertising is a large part of what I do, I tend to spend a lot of time thinking about words.
I'll turn over a short sentence dozens of times trying to find a word or words that instantly convey my message. Some sentences speak volumes and every ad copy writer knows this.
The above ad is currently on display in Toronto. It overlooks both the Martin Goodman Trail and Lake Shore Boulevard West. This ad can be seen by thousands of commuters heading into downtown Toronto for work. I ride this stretch of trail by bicycle almost every day. I witness bumper to bumper traffic and on more days than not there are traffic police positioned to stop speeders and control aggressive driving.
Yet some copy writer, some ad agency and some company executive who approved the above ad felt that "Aggression" was the best word to use. To them aggression may mean strength. To them aggression may symbolize the drive to succeed in a busy metropolis. To them aggression is a powerful buzzword that connects their product, a car, to a life of financial success.
But "aggression" is much, much more than that, especially in Toronto right now.
Aggression and violence are sibling words. Aggression is usually first on the scene but where aggression exists you can be sure that violence isn't too far behind. Aggression is the reason we have the "Street Racing" law in Ontario. Aggression is the reason why hundreds of people every year are killed on roads around the world. Aggression is the reason why we have so many police officers on traffic patrol.
Acura, there is nothing "elegant" about aggression. Aggression is an ugly and offensive word. In a busy city where you are going to encounter people who drive slower than you, people who walk across streets and people who are in just as big a rush as you are, aggression leads to collisions and regrets and death.
Let's ask the family of Darcy Allan Sheppard what the word "aggression" means to them.
Let's ask the family of Tahir Khan what the word "aggression" means to them.
Aggression is why there is strong opposition to the current mayor's use of war metaphors to describe transportation choices. Behind the wheel of a car, on the saddle of a bicycle or simply walking on your own two feet is never an act of aggression. Aggression leads to rash decisions. Aggression is the result of selfish, anti-social behaviour. Aggression exists outside of rational thought.
Yet here is an ad placed outside of Ontario Place, a family destination. This ad faces thousands of people who may be frustrated that their drive was so long. This ad faces the commuting cyclists who will each have a story or two to share about the face of aggression.
You see Acura, Toronto has no room on its roads for aggression.

A couple of years I stumbled upon this series while doing an internet search on Perry Mason. The first book in the series is called "I Dreamed I married Perry Mason". Now I think the title could have been better, but it did its job- caught my attention and I knew I just had to read it.
For those of you who know nothing about this series- Susan Kandel is masterful at writing in the style of famous mystery authors past. In each story, Cece, a writer who write biographies of dead mystery authors, is investigating the author's life when she steps into a mystery that could be right out of the pages of one of their books. Its masterful. For a mystery buff, like myself, its all I ever wished for.
Books in the series
I Dreamed I married Perry Mason
Not Just a Girl Detective
Shamus in the Green Room
Dial H for Hitchcock (her newest out, release not quite a year ago)
Has anyone else out there read any of her books. I'd love to hear what you think.

Halo is coming back to PC… but not in the way you may have wanted. Six years after Microsoft shipped Halo 2 for Windows, the company is finally prepping another Halo title for the platform. Halo: Spartan Assault is a brand new adventure set between the events of Halo 3 and 4 that's debuting exclusively on Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8.
Although a new game, this is not a AAA production in line with the mainline Halo games. Instead, it's a downloadable app from the Windows Store, a top-down twin stick arcade shooter.
Developed by Vanguard Games (Greed Corp, Gatling Gears) in conjunction with 343 Industries, Spartan Assault is the first Halo game designed for touch screen devices–if "designed" means "uses virtual analog sticks."
Unfortunately, Spartan Assault isn't much more than a rote twin-stick shooter with Halo lore stapled on. The game is incredibly easy to pick up and play, but misses much of the depth that fans of the franchise have come to expect from the console FPS games. Perhaps the biggest draw for the game is its story which promises to "dive deeper into the backstory of the Human-Covenant wars" across 25 missions as Commander Sarah Palmer and Spartan Davis.
Spartan Ops also ties back into Halo 4 and Halo Waypoint, letting you earn XP, new achievements, and emblems for your Spartan. In typical Halo fashion, there will also be daily and weekly challenges.
Halo: Spartan Ops will be available in July for all Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices. While promoted as a game "designed" around touch, the PC version will run on any Windows 8 system, even without a touchscreen. At launch, keyboard & mouse controls will be supported, and a title update will later introduce controller support.
Also, although the game is launching simultaneously on both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8, Microsoft does not plan on offering any "cross buy" functionality. Instead, both versions will be sold separately and will cost $6.99.

- How can I help other genealogists without doing anything beyond whatever I happen to be doing for myself?
- How can I get help from other genealogists on a regular basis at no cost to me and no inconvenience to them, especially help I don't even know I need?
The first key to what I call passive RAK and research is to join and participate in an active Diigo group. Moultrie Creek (of Family Matters fame) created the Genealogy Research Resources group in February 2007. As of today, the group has grown to 134 members, and they have shared 1890 bookmarks with the group.
The second key is to download and install the Diigo toolbar, which enables your passive RAK (Random Acts of Kindness). As you do your own genealogical internet surfing, you'll find websites that may be of interest to another researcher, and using the toolbar, you can quickly bookmark and share them to the group in just a couple clicks. When I bookmark a site, I often copy and paste into the bookmark a little of the introductory material from the page. If none is available and the title of the page doesn't provide enough of an explanation of the site's content, I write a very brief explanation of my own.
The third key, which provides your passive research, is to enable a daily or weekly email digest of websites your group members have shared. You can do this when you join a group, and if necessary, you can change your setting later on the My Groups page. I choose to receive a daily digest. The digest, delivered to your email inbox, has clickable links to all websites shared to the group that day, along with any descriptive material the bookmarker added. I can easily ignore any site that clearly is of no use to my own research, but I click on any link that may interest me.
I can't begin to tell you how many times I've found items I didn't know existed. On one memorable occasion, a group member shared a newspaper website to the group and before the day was over, I had unearthed dozens of newspaper articles and one-liners about my great-grandmother, including minute-by-minute descriptions of her graduations from both high school and, the following year, normal school.
There's no need to worry that you'll be overwhelmed with email. After all, 1890 websites have already been shared to the group. You'll have to go looking for those. At Family Matters, Digital Archives Exploding Online explains how. And for more help, visit my Diigo list entitled Diigo Tips for Genea-Bloggers, which has links to additional helpful articles at Family Matters and elsewhere.
Am I preaching to the choir here? If you're not already singing Diigo's praises, you might be missing out on just the help you don't know you need. Join us!

Steampunk Bacon Cat has reached a new level of internet meme. He's appeared in a webcomic. An awesome webcomic. I am seriously so thrilled right now.
Want more hilarity? Trust me, if you're one of those folks who "gets" Steampunk Bacon Cat, you'll love Real Life Comics. Just don't click that link if you have anything to do for the next hour or so…
P.S. – He's not that far off on the creation of Steampunk Bacon Cat. I mostly blame the gnomes.

As it turns out, I don't have as much control over the casting directors in Hollywood as I thought I did, because they went ahead and picked someone who wasn't on my list. He wasn't even in my brain, mostly because I'd never heard of him before and I got a little bit distracted as soon as I suggested Dylan O'Brien. More

Noakes was the fixer; unhurried, comfortable and almost immaculate in the way he ran his playbook.
There must be something about Eden Park that flicks a switch in first-fives condemned as journeymen.
The legend of Stephen Donald was made in Auckland, and last night, Chris Noakes, whose arrival at the Blues was greeted with universal disbelief, surely took a giant step towards winning at least the hearts, if not the minds, of those who had all but written him off. The caterpillar ripped open its cocoon and an unexpectedly beautiful butterfly emerged.
Quality performances were everywhere for the Blues: Charlie Faumuina didn't stop running; Peter Sailii took the gainline; Piri Weepu directed like he was born to do just that job and Rene Ranger probed and pushed, found space where there really didn't appear to be any.
There wasn't a dud, and yet the whole thing wouldn't have come to much - the endeavour would have gone unrewarded - had it not been for the composure and accuracy of Noakes.
He was the fixer; unhurried, comfortable and almost immaculate in the way he ran through his play-book.
The best first-fives know not to overplay their hand. If they make the performance appear to be all about those around them then they have done their job. That was Noakes - the ball was mostly in and out of his hands without fuss and those outside them relished the time and space.
There were a couple of show-and-goes by Noakes, little dabs that sent a flutter of panic through the Crusaders' defensive line, and then, of course, there was his cameo moment: the expertly judged chip kick that allowed Frank Halai to climb above Israel Dagg and claim a spectacular try.
Anyone tempted to persevere with the notion of Noakes the journeyman needs to consider the deftness and vision that one kick took. That was the work of an artisan - only a genuine craftsman could execute such a play, and frankly it would have been beyond the imagination of more than half the first-fives in Super Rugby.
The Blues haven't necessarily stumbled upon gold as such. What they have found is a player who is gold in the sense that he fits their needs, can enforce their vision.
For an interminably long time there hasn't been a No10 at the franchise able to fulfil that modest goal. Jimmy Gopperth, Tasesa Lavea, Isa Nacewa, Stephen Brett, Gareth Anscombe, Luke McAlister and Michael Hobbs, all had a peculiar knack of writing their own scripts; they all felt the need to ad lib the game plan, change it as they saw fit.
Not Noakes - in his 65 minutes he never forgot the game was bigger than him, that it wasn't all about him. He stuck to what he was told, believed in his coaches and kept his evening's work to pass, run, kick. He brought the performance together, kept his side going forward, put them in the right places. Put the ball in the runners' hands. He made it look easy. He made the performance look to be all about those around him. Job done.

As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton - and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she's soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers - and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Can she vanquish the spawn of Satan? And overcome the social prejudices of the class-conscious landed gentry?
Complete with romance, heartbreak, swordfights, cannibalism, and thousands of rotting corpses, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies transforms a masterpiece of world literature into something you'd actually want to read.
This Heirloom Edition of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies includes a new preface by the author, an afterword by Dr. Allen Grove, professor of English literature at Alfred University, and new scenes of gratuitous zombie mayhem.

"[Seth Grahame-Smith] has taken the merry world established by a 19th-century literary lady, added a scourge of reanimated corpses, and created...well, a pop cultural phenomenon, certainly, and one that has stirred up a lot of excitement. But the greater achievement of the book may lie in the satisfying desire it awakens to read the remix and the original side by side." (Entertainment Weekly)
"I loved it!"
Listen to the Audible sample of this book and decide if it's for you. I am a professional over-50 woman not particularly fond of violence but I found this book laugh-out-loud hilarious! I thought the narrator did a wonderful job. The premise is so ridiculous that it becomes fascinating to see how the author weaves it in with the original classic story. I LOVE reading and audiobooks but had never read Pride and Prejudice. I went out and bought it after listening to this book so I could appreciate both more. Listen to this for pure entertainment and an enjoyment of farce as long as you are not offended by descriptions of what zombies do. I don't think Seth Grahame-Smith ripped anyone off by authoring this book.
"Why not just enjoy"
It's hard to be comfortable with taking a book that you love and having it tampered with. BUT, I have to say that I enjoyed this audio book. It was nice to listen to the underlying great story and throwing in the zombie, ninja, heart-eating, and pus-popping sores was actually pretty funny. I thought the author did "just right" in not trying to re-write the story but really just mash it with a ridiculous idea. I laughed aloud at Katherine Kellgren's manner of reading Charlotte's part- it's hilarious.
"Katherine Kellgren - Wow!"
I've just finished this zombie version of "P&P", which I loved, and checked all the reviews and links for Katherine Kellgren at Audible. This is the first time I hunted for additional titles by narrator. It feels as though I'm late to discover her. I've never heard such a reader! Bright, precise, compelling torrents of speech delivered with awesome energy and conviction! She projects REAL feeling for Austen's language. In addition, Seth Grahame-Smith did fine work as well, to put the twist on the tale. I hope that other classic titles will receive this kind of clever makeover. I'll be waiting.
"One word - Awesome!"
I don't know how Seth pulled it off, but somehow this man has brought zombies, ninjas, and humor into Lizzy's world and yet it is still Pride and Prejudice. Mr.Bennett is hilarious with his treatment of his annoying prattling wife, Darcy is forced into a battle of ninja skills with Lizzy as she declines his marriage proposal, and somebody close to Lizzy is bitten and infected with the 'Strange Plague'. The Bennett sisters are practically the designated ninja death squad of the countryside. On top of all that, Katherine Kellgren's pompous English tea time voice adds just that right touch to the story to make it inconceivably more hilarious! This is possibly one of the coolest books ever now. I don't think high school English class will ever be the same!
"An Excellent Audio Experience"
This is among the top 5 audio books I've ever listened to. Katherine Kellgren's performance is simply perfect. The entire book has the feel of a classic while incorporating zombies and their lust for brains seamlessly into the story. The book would fit well on the shelf with Classics and Alternate History alike. A wonderful performance and a wonderful read.
"I learned to care about Austen!"
I've never been able to abide Jane Austen. I felt completely unconnected from the characters and unable to empathize with their dated misadventures in love and social climbing. That said, I loved this book. Apparently, all it took to make me care about Eliza and Co. was a liberal sprinkling of the undead. Most of the characterizations and the plot itself remained untouched, but the world in which they occur is enough changed to give them a dash of modern flavour. Also, I found Austen's women much improved by their new interest in the "deadly arts," as opposed to all that fuss over balls and letter writing and... pfft. Marriage. Not to say that Grahame-Smith doesn't occasionally go overboard; his additions have a tendency to become incredibly campy (moreso than I believe that they were meant to be) and repetitive. Still, I would highly recommend this book, especially to those who have trouble stomaching the original. I'll readily admit that I have never been Austen's biggest fan, but even I couldn't take my iPod off for days.
"Fun, Zany, Silly, but never boring..."
I think it would have been a much better book if Grahame-Smith had presented his fractured fairytale more seriously...what IF a plague of zombies invaded the tale of "Pride and Prejudice" and how would have strong characters such as Darcy and Lizzie reacted to such an horrific ordeal? Instead it is equal parts kung fu chopsocky and through-the-shattered-looking-glass Austen. But still, it IS a fun tale, never quite "laugh-out-loud" funny, but surprisingly witty in some places, as the world of Jane Austen goes goth (and Jackie Chan). Uma Thurman, oops, I mean Lizzie, is just too far-gone "Kill Bill," but it does make for a hilarious fantasy sequence when a put-out Lizzie beheads her gabby punk of a little sister. Darcy, I guess due to the "plauge," has taken a puerile air, frequently making word plays on the ever-present frequent balls (stacking up some impressive frequent ball mileage). To Grahame-Smith's credit, frequently I would forget that I was listening to a lampoon of "Pride and Prejudice" and for an hour I'd truly enjoy the story, with even a minor few revelations and perspectives (but if you really want to be dazzled by Neo Austen, try Pamela Aidan's "An Assembly Such as This"). Never quite "Mad" magazine (but generally close), the story juggles classical beauty, very familiar archetypes, and a big bag of constant silliness. Never as witty as Jasper Fforde's "Thursday Next" novels, still, sometimes Seth Grahame-Smith is pretty witty. I have to admit (and I'm perfectly ready to duck tomatoes) I liked the story, and Katherine Kellgren's narration is as good as I've ever heard, beautiful in fact, and perhaps the reason that I enjoyed the book as much as I did. As a whole I'd rank the novel a 4 (out of 5), but the narration is a perfect 10 (out of 4). Art et Amour Toujours
"very fun listen"
Very fun premise to the story and great narration. I was surprised at how true to the original story this version stayed, while adding in a layer of zombies versus the deadly arts. Loved it. I think I got much more out of hearing the audio version than I would have by reading the print version.
"Bring on the laughter!"
I'm a huge Jane Austen fan. I was worried if this book would offend. Not only did it not offend, I found myself laughing out loud at the humor and additional zombie killing wit added by Seth Grahame-Smith. I would tell any friend of mine to read this book. I found myself quoting several passages to them and I hope he does another!! I would definitely read more!
"Concept - great! Execution - not so great..."
Loved the title and concept, really liked the reader, BUT... unfortunately the zombie parts just didn't fit. For one thing, Elizabeth Bennett is too bloodthirsty (literally!) One of the reasons Austen's Darcy was able to love her even though he looks down on her family is that she and her sister Jane do not behave excessively, unlike her mother and other sisters. It's jarring to have Elizabeth so violently showing her passion for The Deadly Arts. It's fine to have her skilled in killing The Unmentionables, but she should be as polite and modest about it as she would be about her pianoforte and dancing skills.
In a really great mash-up, whether it's music or prose, you can't tell where one part stops and another begins. Unfortunately, that's not the case in this book. Grahame-Smith either needed to totally rewrite more of Austen's parts, or get himself more into a 19th century frame of mind for the zombie story. He did a good job of changing the card games to the zombie context; too bad he wasn't as clever with the rest.
"Absolutely Brilliant!"
I don't usually write reviews but I have to make an exception for this fabulous audible book. Not only is it a fantastic take on a classic story it was read so wonderfully that I could hardly wait to get in my car to listen to it. As soon as it finished I wanted to listen to it all over again! I can't recommend this highly enough.
"Clever, and sometimes Hilarious"
Having read the other reviews, I thought I'd give this a go. I love P&P and all Austen and did feel sometimes that the real story's humour and nuances were somewhat undermined by the 'zombie' element. That said, if you want unadulterated Austen, then just read Austen.
I would say this is for people who have already read P&P, in order to get the depth of some of the jokes, but I'm pretty sure they'd still be funny if you hadn't. It did take about 10 chapters before I saw any real humour, but at later points I was laughing out loud on the train with the odd surprise one-liner. It pleased me in that it was not a riot of back to back jokes, but simply a retelling of a great story, with an amusing 'plague' sub-plot which gave it a new colour.
"Why all the fuss?"
I don't understand why people have gone so crazy for this book.
It's basically an overly-long one-pun joke. It's one of those crazy ideas you might have drunk one night in a pub with your friends, but like most ideas of this type, it shouldn't go beyond the beer mat. I listened to it all but often found myself wondering why. Ninja's, zombies, Mr. Darcy....this is six form stuff. Yeah it's funny at times, but, really, why the fuss?
I guess it's a novel technique to get the masses reading the classics.
"Very entertaining!"
The most fun and well read audiobook I have heard for a long time.
Highly recommended!
"a wonderful change"
i don't usually like jane austen novels, can't abide heroines that wait for their prince charming to rescue them, but i loved this adaptation!! Can't wait to get the next one in the series
"Occasionally gory"
I love this treatment of the classic story but the narrator can be too shrill.
"What happened to the Zombies?"
This started most promisingly - England in the grip of a Zombie plague, the Miss Bennetts highly trained warriors, Mr Darcy a master ninja trained in Japan, the classic story of manners and social position interwoven with extreme violence and gore. All very clever and well observed. But from halfway through the book the Zombies become little more than a distant annoyance. The story is then almost purely Pride and Prejudice - effectively word for word. So the story goes nowhere other than the expected, with little to lift it from the original. How I longed for another Zombie attack - for Lizzie Bennett's skull to be cracked by a manky dreadful, Mr Darcy's entrails to be painfully unwound, Mrs Bennett's limited brains to be consumed by one of the striken, and for Satan's army to drown all of Pemberly in blood - anything to cease their endless prattling and indulgent wimsey. Alas no. Ultimately disappointing.
"Seriously disappointing"
Just...awful. I love Pride and Prejudice, and I love zombie themed things, so I was really looking forward to this book. But they don't mix. Maybe if it was a continuation of the original story, it could work. But it doesn't. The author's basically taken the Bennett girls, sent them to China to train, then plopped them back in the original book, just with conversational changes and some added fight scenes. I hate the way the Chinese master's name is pronounced, only slightly more than the fact that he was invented in the first place.
"pride and prejudice and. zoombies"
daunting tittle for anyone who is an Austen fan. The book however remained as truevto Austen as it could possibly be. It was a well written abd entertaining novel. I will certainly be recommending this book for our bookclub read. Enjoyed it up till the very last slain zoombie and the marriages of Jane and Elizabeth Bennett.
"Clever combo of classic and zombie"
This retelling of a classic distinguishes itself from the rest either of other Austen parodies, inspired retelling etc etc etc Not usually fond of the genre, I got curious because this was book zero (aka the zombie books always obsess with patient zero...) and the movie adaptation just got out - the book is aging gracefully as it chooses where to mix and where to leave it to the romance in a crafty way. Entertaining read, perfect for holidays!

Hollinghurst wins Britain's Man Booker Prize
Posted October 20, 2004; 03:06 p.m.
Author Alan Hollinghurst, who is teaching at Princeton this fall, has won the 2004 Man Booker Prize, Britain's premier fiction award.
Hollinghurst is serving this semester as an Old Dominion Fellow and as a lecturer in the Humanities Council and the Creative Writing Program . He won the award for his fourth novel, "The Line of Beauty." The British-born writer was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1994 for his second novel, "The Folding Star."
Now in its 35th year, the prize aims to reward the best novel of the year written by a citizen of Britain, Ireland and the Commonwealth of former British colonies. The Man Booker judges are selected from the country's finest critics, writers and academics. The winner of the prize receives 50,000 pounds and both the winner and the shortlisted authors are guaranteed a worldwide readership plus a dramatic increase in book sales.
Hollinghurst won the Somerset Maugham and E.M. Forster awards for his first novel, "Swimming-Pool Library" (1988). It was followed by "The Folding Star," which won the James Tait Black Memorial Prize, and "Spell" (1998).
"Alan Hollinghurst is one of the handful of living writers I most esteem," said Professor Edmund White, director of Princeton's Creative Writing Program. "He has written just four novels, but each of them has been a major statement, polished to a high level of beauty, thought out with the same deliberation and supreme intelligence that George Eliot brought to her books. If literature has a future, then Hollinghurst will belong to it."
"We're fortunate that the Humanities Council has brought Mr Hollinghurst to Princeton as a long-term fellow for this entire semester," White added. "We're doubly fortunate to be with him during this exciting period. ... Finally, our greatest good fortune is that he agreed to teach two courses this semester, which add luster to our program and offer a rare opportunity to his students."
Hollinghurst is teaching "Introductory Fiction" and "Advanced Fiction."

I know he is a solid contributor, but he is in the wrong position. We have depth with McDaniel. Hopefully Vernon is developing the way Wake did and we can trade our first rounder for a 5th or 6th while people still remember wo he is. If we draft DE or Vernon comes through, Odrick will be sitting the bench and his trade value will diminish.
After the draft and FA we are going to have a log jam on the D-line.

I think the Falcons figure it out this game. I mean it's a turning point for them. They've got to show up and beat their Rivals if they ever want to get the monkey off their back.
But hopefully not LOL!
Get your popcorn ready!!! Tomorrow's headlines "Julio Jones scorches Saints secondary for 3 TDs."
Birds make a statement tonight!!!
The Falcons are looking good so far...
Running game showed up...About to go up by three scores...Hope they pour it on!!!
Saints didn't show up to play. Drew Brees looks like Blaine Gabbert.
Should be a very interesting second half. Falcons' O hasn't shown much other than Turner in the 1st Q.

Too chewy
By iggy

These energy blasts are pretty good but I find them too chewy for fast rides and only take them for mountain biking. When road riding I use GU chomps which are easier to chew up while pedaling.

To find specific porsche Cayenne parts, simply enter the YEAR MODEL and then search by KEYWORD or PARTS NUMBERS in the search box above.
Vertex Automotive is America's Porsche auto parts expert for over 30 years. We offer a comprehensive selection of Porsche aftermarket parts for your Porsche Cayenne at the lowest price guaranteed. While looking through our Porsche parts catalog, feel free to reach out to one of our specialist by phone or chat with any questions you may have regarding our Porsche parts. We look forward to doing business with your and meeting all your Porsche Cayenne Parts needs.
Nothing brings about dreams of speed and the open road quite like a Porsche. With German engineering specially done for the Autobahn, these vehicles are known to be able to handle themselves without modifying them. Out of this proud history comes the Porsche Cayman, becoming known for being a driver's car. The Porsche Cayman has a short, but illustrious history. It took only 36 months to design and was premiered at the 2005 Frankfurt Auto Show and then put on the market in America a few months later in March of 2006. It was the first Porsche to be introduced with the upscale S version. The next year, the base model was introduced. The car, named after the Latin American cousin to the alligator, has won several awards and has been put on multiple top ten lists.This three door hatchback isn't the speed demon of some its Porsche family, like the 911 or Boxster. The Porsche Cayman does do the quarter mile in a respectable 14.2 seconds and gets up to 102 mph. At the same time, it is still the sporty two seater rear wheel drive like others in its class.
It is our main objective to guarantee your 100% satisfaction.
The only way for this satisfaction guarantee to work, however, is if two
situations are met:
1) We must provide you with quality parts that fit your car correctly.

eligible for this option, you must be exchanging or repairing the same product

this option.

options. Items returned must be accompanied by the original packaging and
materials. All returns will be
inspected prior to credit being issued. Credit will be issued for the purchase
price of the item(s) returned. Shipping costs are nonrefundable. You can also

price difference between the incorrect part and the correct part. VertexAuto.com

I have followed with much interest Gloria Davey's fight for rezoning in order to build a "no-kill" pet shelter in Lancaster County.
We all know the county-owned shelter is always overloaded and, consequently, more than 4,000 pets are euthanized there each year. I applaud Ms. Davey and her efforts to help find a solution for this. I would stand behind anyone trying to help the pets in whatever way they could.
I am writing in support of Jackie Harris for Lancaster City Council District 3.
I have known Mrs. Harris for well over 20 years. She is a woman of integrity and dependability, as well as having a love for her community. She will work hard to make the best decisions for the city of Lancaster. She will be a team player and will work for the good of her district. Jackie Harris is the best candidate for this position and will be committed to serving the people of that area, along with helping others in this community. Please support Jackie Harris.
I would like to write a letter of endorsement for Mandy Powers Norrell. I appreciate your allowing me to do so. I personally feel Mandy has more than earned a right to serve in the S.C. House from the 44th District. She has lived the same life as anyone in Lancaster. She does not come from privilege. In short, she earned everything she has.
On this year's ballot, there is a question concerning whether the state's governor and lieutenant governor should run as a single ticket, as do our U.S. president and vice president. As someone who has advocated bringing our state's creaky government structure into modern times, I want to strongly encourage every voter to mark "yes" on this question. South Carolina's governor and lieutenant governor should run together, as a ticket, and work as teammates, not adversaries.
Over the past few years, I have grown to know and love Jackie Harris. Mrs. Harris and I attend the same church.
Mrs. Harris possesses every quality and trait that would make her an excellent leader for Lancaster City Council District 3. She has the communication skills and leadership abilities to become a voice for the people.
It's been nearly 20 years since I last campaigned for my father, Sen. Red Hinson. I promised myself after that election that I would never get involved in politics again unless the right person came along, who represented the values I believe in and had the same love for Lancaster County that I have. Over the last few years, I've watched Ryan Payne, who is running for S.C. House District 44, grow into the man he is today. I believe Ryan embodies the same commitment to Lancaster County that my father had while he served in the S.C. Senate.
By way of introduction, I am a retired assistant director with the S.C. Law Enforcement Division (SLED) and I have known Sheriff Barry Faile for about 30 years, having met him early in our careers. I knew then, that with his work ethic, he was going places. I was so pleased when he ran for sheriff and am even happier to see that he has offered to run for re-election.
Let me tell you a little something – something about Jackie Harris.
Jackie is the youngest of four sisters. We may not be through blood, but we are sisters. As a young lady, Jackie always strived to better herself and her surroundings. She has always given back to the community.
I am a regular reader of The Lancaster News and, as I have been reading the Letters to the Editor over the last few months concerning the Lancaster County sheriff's race, I felt compelled to write a letter that would give a somewhat different view from what I have been reading concerning the Faile family and the Lancaster County Sheriff's Office.
This letter is in reference to Jackie Harris running for Lancaster City Council District 3.
As her pastor for the last 10 years at Mount Zion AME Zion Church, it is my privilege to speak on behalf of Mrs. Harris.
She is an adult Sunday school instructor. In teaching the adult class, she is definitely prepared, and has great knowledge of the lesson and the Scriptures involved in teaching her class.

Where I stayed
So on Tuesday, 9th February we present ourselves at the gleaming Buquebus ferry terminal for our one and a half hour trip from Buenos Aires to Colonia in Uruguay. (Note – the locals pronounce it 'ooroowhy'). The A/C on board is so ferocious that I am blue with cold by the time we arrive. I make a mental note to wear my thermals and a sweater for the return journey. Luckily it is a glorious day and after settling into our hotel we go out in search of lunch. Colonia is gorgeous, with lots of pretty colonial buildings, cobbled streets and flowers.
The next day we bus it to Montevideo, the capital of the country. We are pleasantly surprised to find that the bus is comfortable and that we have plenty of leg room. Obviously it had been been built with tall people like us in mind. This, more than anything makes us realise that we are now in a country where the locals are descendants from largely European people, mainly Spanish, Italian and German - many of the latter came during and after the last world war apparently. It is nice not to stand out any longer. Until we open our mouths and inflict our atrocious accents onto unsuspecting people, there is no way to tell that we are not local. It is not until it no longer happens that we realise how wearying it has been to be constantly regarded as 'strange'.
In Montevideo our chosen hostel only has a room without a window available which we decline. They are nice people, however, and say that we can leave our bags there while we look for another hotel. They warn us though that we may find this difficult as it is the Carnaval weekend and most places are likely to be full. Carnaval, how exciting, we did not know! It does not take us too long to find a nice room on the eight floor of a large hotel, so we have a good view.
It is great driving along at our own pace and getting a sense of the Rio de la Plata coast. Our suspicions were right, once outside the centre of Montevideo, there are rather nice looking high rise apartment blocks all along the river front for quite a long time. Eventually they give way to ordinary housing until this stops too. It seems that Uruguay is actually quite an empty country. According to the Lonely Planet it is 187,000 square km, which - if it means anything to anyone, it does not to me – is roughly the size of North Dakota, but with a population of only 3.2 million. Eventually we come to Punta del Este, a major river/seaside resort, which is apparently sometimes rather rudely described by Argentinians as a suburb of Buenos Aires. It seems that the coast of Uruguay is a bit of a playground, not only for well-to-do locals, but also for Argentinians, Brazilians, Chileans, Mexicans, etc. We stop by a tourist office and ask whether there is any accommodation available anywhere. They say yes, there is a room in a lovely house on the beach near here which actually belongs to a five star hotel. For US$300 a night it would be ours, and we could also use the facilities of the hotel. Only the hotel is nowhere near – in fact it is not even on the coast!! We just laugh and say that there is no way that we can afford that kind of thing, at which they go to the other end of the scale and find us a room in a two star hotel which has a special deal as long as we book for four nights. This suits us fine as we rather fancy a bit of R and R on the beach.
Although it has a good location, and our room even has a sea view, the hotel appears rather dilapidated. The architecture looks to be from the 1970s and the furnishings as well as general state of repair, ditto. However, our room is comfortable enough and the staff seem friendly. The next morning, the hotel's owner, a man in his seventies, asks us if we have a bit of 'tiempo'. We are not sure what he wants, but wait anyway. Within a few minutes he comes back with a briefcase, stuffed with papers and photos. He tells us that during the second world war there had been a big sea battle between English and German ships, during which the German ship – the Admiral Graf Spee – got destroyed. Interestingly, it was scuttled by its own captain when he realised that he could not win! Rather sneakily the English had fed false intelligence about the size of the force that was opposing him; if he had known the truth he might have acted differently. Apparently Hitler was not impressed by his performance, and the captain later committed suicide. I have never heard of this battle (although Peter has) and am fascinated to learn that the second world war had been fought as far away as on the other side of the Atlantic! Although the English fleet sustained casualties too, the battle is apparently regarded as a great victory for the English. We are shown photographs of groups of English sailors, all happily drinking beer. The owner must have been a young lad when this battle was happening right where he lived!
We are the only non Uruguayan people in our hotel and have to explain, every morning anew, that we do not want 'cafe con leche' but 'cafe negro, sin azucar y un poco de leche aparte'. We are surprised to discover that contrary to all the other countries we have been to, Uruguayans do not really understand coffee. Having brought an electric kettle, we like to make coffee in our hotel room. However, outside the major tourist places it is actually really difficult to buy ground coffee that does not have sugar added already. This is not good news, as for us sugar in coffee is anathema! The cafe con leche as it is served here, should really be called 'leche con cafe', as often it can be hard to believe that the cup of milk actually contains coffee too. Things become clearer when we notice that here, more even than in Argentina, people are really keen on 'mate' (pronounced 'mahthe'), a herbal infusion not unlike green tea. Everywhere people, young as well as old, walk around with mate bowl and pewter 'straw' (called a 'bombilla') in hand and thermos flask containing hot water clasped tightly under one arm. Some sensible people even have a special shoulder bag to hold all the paraphernalia. Although it seems that everyone drinks the stuff all day, it is mostly men who do the cup and flask carrying. (Perhaps this is because the bowl and straw are strangely reminiscent of a large pipe, so they all end up looking like Sherlock Holmes). Mate drinking appears to be a shared activity, couples and sometimes small groups drink from the same bowl and use the same straw. Not keen on asking if we can share someone's straw (it is not served in cafes or restaurants) we are nevertheless curious as to what this brew tastes like and decide to buy some. Luckily we do not have to go the whole hog and buy all the gear, as our rather good local supermarket sells mate teabags. Even though this is not the quite real thing (for the bags the herb is toasted rather than dried) it does give us a flavour. We manage not to get addicted; this would take me a very long time indeed, but then I am no great green tea (or indeed any kind of tea) drinker. But maybe I should try as there are allegedly all kinds of health benefits, such as reducing high blood pressure.
So this is our last blog. Thank you for reading it and in a way travelling with us.

N+1 Singer - Uncovered Gems - Speed Dating Lunch - A Famous Five for the future?
12 Apr 17
On Friday we hosted our third "speed dating" lunch with the management of five very interesting and contrasting companies not under our formal coverage: Be Heard, Byotrol, Gfinity, Oxehealth and Plant Impact. Each company gave a concise and punchy overview of its business and investment case to a group of fund managers, before rapid fire Q&A. Below we summarise our thoughts on each company with more details inside the note, plus some relevant slides. We believe that all five companies are well-managed and well worth a closer look - we intend to repeat this efficient and popular format for engaging with management teams.
N+1 Singer - Small-cap quantitative research - Growth style screen revamp and 10 focus stocks
06 Apr 17
We have reviewed the performance of our consistent growth screen since the previous refresh on 27 September 2016 and revamped the selection parameters to focus more on forecast sales and EPS growth going forward. In the period under review the consistent growth style screen outperformed the small-cap benchmark by c. 6% and underperformed the microcap index by a similar amount. Interestingly, although growth doesn't always seem to be defensive as might be expected, however it appears right to buy growth on dips caused by or coincident with wider market volatility. In the new forecast growth screen we take a close look at 10 focus stocks. We will monitor performance and refresh it in three to four months time.

I used to be a big fan of Lucky's, but they got bought by Albertsons who has slowly slid into mediocrity. My sister also believed them to be the cheapest, but when Ralphs Club is taken into account I showed her Albertsons is not quite as good in pricing (their club prices are weaaaak!).
I paid $4.43 today for gas at the new cheap station I found, it dropped 2 cents since last week. Wow, now I can afford that new gumball I've been lookin' at!

That is the respose from you I was expecting!!!
You think it OK for goverment to Steal Profit from Private companies to pay for a product the government is FORCING all its citizens to take...
Again..... This is what I expected from you!!
While the treat or convention does indeed state what you quoted,it also goes on to give definitions.
as long as your "state" agrees with the definitions by signature.
The convention defines illicit as the manufacture of ammunition without a license.
therfore your will be required to purchase a license. That evolves to another tax,and makes it so you could be subject to a audit from the government.
i knew my taking the time to post my proof to the questions you so sunk ally asked of me in your previous post would be a waste.
you sir are free to believe what you will. Just as I am free to do the same.
Just remember it is President Obama that is pushing to have this convention ratified.
Presidento Clinton and President Bush never gave it any consideration.
why is President Obama taking a different stance?
He can't get around the second amendment with U.S. law, so he attacks through the back door,and very quietly Also.
Bought another gun last week...
Order in for MORE reloading supplies tomorrow...
I'll be prepared...
Please forgive also. I typed this on my phone. It spells worse than I do.
i hope the new Obama model is higher edcratatede

Another day, another drop: Once again, there's a whole lot of red, as the Nasdaq Composite closed down 53.37, or 1.3%, at 3,999.73, worse than either the Dow Jones Industrial Average's 0.9% decline or the 0.95%
Information technology was the worst-performing market segment, as tracked by FactSet, declined 1.47%, on average, versus the 1.44% declined for the next-worst, consumer discretionary goods companies.
Within the segment, software was the worst area, with Salesforce.com (CRM) down $1.68, or 3%, at $52.87, and Oracle (ORCL) down 81 cents, or 2%, at $38.98.
But there were worse decliners in other segments. Broadcom (BRCM) was a stand-out chip loser, declining $$1.01, or 3.3%, to close at $29.32.
For a second day, some 3-D printing names were decidedly weak. VoxelJet (VJET) had another double-digit decline, off $3.45, or almost 19%, at $15.10. ExOne (XONE) stock fell $1.63, or almost 6%, to close at $27.46, while 3D Systems (DDD) shares were down 71 cents, or 1.5%, at $48.07, and Stratasys (SSYS) slumped $2.71, or 2.8%, to close at $94.58.
And of course there were some Internet names that defied calls to buy the sell-off, including Twitter (TWTR), down $1.29,or 3%, at $40.05.
Google, whose Class C shares, "GOOG," were down $10.35, or 1.9%, at $530.60. Yet again, the Class A shares, "GOOGL," fell less, down $8.93, or 1.6%, at $537.76. Yahoo! (YHOO) declined 54 cents, or 1.6%, to $32.86. Amazon.com (AMZN) gave up $5.38, or 1.7%, to close at $3111.73, Yelp (YELP) closed down $1.75, or 2.8%, at $61.72, and LinkedIn (LNKD) was down another $4.21, or 2.8%, at $165.78.
Facebook (FB) which had enjoyed some lift at one point during the session, closed down 63 cents, or 1%, at $58.53.
Another group defying the buying urges of the Street were data management software: Qlik Technologies (QLIK) fell 86 cents, or 3.5%, to close at $23.68; Tableau Software (DATA) fell $2.35, or 3.6%, to close at $63.17; Informatica (INFA) was down $1.10, or almost 3%, at $36.21; and Splunk (SPLK) was off 72 cents, or 1.2%, at $57.68.
Cisco Systems (CSCO), another name that briefly popped into the green today, ended the day down 19 cents, or 0.8%, at $22.46.
A couple of yesterday's champions succumbed today: Intel (INTC) shares closed down 25 cents, or 0.9%, at $26.18, while Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) stock was down 35 cents, or 1.1%, to close at $32.45.
And what rose? China's LDK Solar (LDKSY) was a gainer, up 6 cents, or almost 11%, at 63 cents. Shares of another solar, Suntech Power (STP), were up almost 1% at 33 cents. IAC Interactive (IACI) was up 0.7% at $68.82. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (TSM) was up 7 cents at $19.89. And disk drive maker Western Digital (WDC) closed up 4 cents at $88.21.

Hey palongbeard12. Thanks for the kind words and your note. As to your question, start small at first, writing for local and regional markets. The pay may not be good, if anything at all, but the experience is important toward you potentially writing for bigger (better paying) markets. Try to read everything you can in the print magazines and online to understand the best (and worst) of what's out there. Be honest about your own ability as a writer and work hard to improve. Hunt (and fish?) as hard as you write. Diversify. It's important these multi-media days to not only write well, but also edit, shoot photos, make videos, author books and even provide web content directly to sites. Get your education too. Many of my colleagues in the business, including myself, have degrees in journalism and writing. It's important to know the craft and also enjoy it as well. Hope this helps. Best of luck. --Steve Hickoff
P.S. Thanks again for checking in everybody. It's been fun. Have a great rest of the spring turkey season if you're still hunting (we are up north). C'mon fall turkeys . . . --Steve Hickoff
