Senior Fellow for Korea Studies and Director of the Program on U.S.-Korea Policy
Politics and foreign policy of South Korea and North Korea; U.S.-Korea relations; Northeast Asian security; and U.S.-Asia relations
Scott Snyder is senior fellow for Korea studies and director of the program on U.S.-Korea policy at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), where he had served as an adjunct fellow from 2008 to 2011. Prior to joining CFR, Snyder was a senior associate in the international relations program of The Asia Foundation, where he founded and directed the Center for U.S.-Korea Policy and served as The Asia Foundation's representative in Korea (2000-2004). He was also a senior associate at Pacific Forum CSIS. Snyder has worked as an Asia specialist in the research and studies program of the U.S. Institute of Peace and as acting director of Asia Society's contemporary affairs program. Snyder was a Pantech visiting fellow at Stanford University's Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center during 2005–2006, and received an Abe fellowship, administered by the Social Sciences Research Council, in 1998–99. He has provided advice to NGOs and humanitarian organizations active in North Korea and serves as co-chair of the advisory council of the National Committee on North Korea.
Snyder has authored numerous book chapters on aspects of Korean politics and foreign policy and Asian regionalism and is the author of The Japan-South Korea Identity Clash: East Asian Security and the United States (with Brad Glosserman, 2015), China's Rise and the Two Koreas: Politics, Economics, Security (2009), Paved With Good Intentions: The NGO Experience in North Korea (co-editor, 2003), and Negotiating on the Edge: North Korean Negotiating Behavior(1999).
Snyder is the co-editor of North Korea in Transition: Politics, Economy, and Society (Rowman and Littlefield, October 2012), and the editor of Middle-Power Korea: Contributions to the Global Agenda (Council on Foreign Relations, June 2015), Global Korea: South Korea's Contributions to International Security (Council on Foreign Relations, October 2012) and The U.S.-South Korea Alliance: Meeting New Security Challenges (Lynne Rienner Publishers, March 2012). He served as the project director for CFR's Independent Task Force on policy toward the Korean Peninsula. He currently writes for the blog, "Asia Unbound."
Snyder received a BA from Rice University and an MA from the regional studies East Asia program at Harvard University and was a Thomas G. Watson fellow at Yonsei University in South Korea.
The U.S.-ROK alliance has succeeded beyond expectation in its evolution from a security-focused, military-dominated relationship dedicated to deterring North Korea to a multifaceted, comprehensive alliance. The relationship now faces two new challenges that require careful coordination and effective management: shifts in the geopolitical environment resulting from China's rising power and South Korea's evolving conception of itself as a middle power. U.S. rebalancing policy prioritizes Asia, but assumes levels of continuity in the security situation on the Korean peninsula that are not guaranteed. Effective management of these issues will require more time and political attention, and will be critical to maintaining a robust alliance amidst geopolitical uncertainly. With the Project on the U.S.-ROK Alliance, CFR's Program on U.S.-Korea policy considers the impact of geopolitical shifts in relative influence of the United States and China on how to coordinate policy toward North Korea; the challenging regional security dilemmas South Korea faces as a result of rising nationalism in both China and Japan; the impact of South Korea's middle power role for U.S.-ROK cooperation; and the potential strategic and policy implications of regional developments, including China's rise and U.S. rebalancing policy, for South Korea. Through study group and roundtable meetings, articles, and blog posts on Asia Unbound, this project aims to identify issues, opportunities, and challenges in the U.S.-ROK alliance.
This project is made possible through the support of the Korea Foundation and the Smith Richardson Foundation.
South Korea has used its "hosting power" in recent years as a stepping stone for its ambitious and constructive efforts to contribute substantively on the international stage. While its hosting of international gatherings has revealed clear constraints on South Korea's ability to shape the international agenda or to serve as an intermediary on conflicts involving larger powers, these roles have also provided South Korea with valuable experience on the international stage on niche issues on which the country appears poised to make a difference. Middle Power Korea: Contributions to the Global Agenda aims to examine South Korea's role as a middle power, its contributions and ability to influence international institutions, and its prospects for cooperation with the United States. This forthcoming book focuses on four areas in which South Korea has expanded its capabilities, made efforts to influence the global agenda, and shown potential to play a greater role: international development, financial stability, nuclear governance, and green growth.

Since defecting from Six Party negotiations on denuclearization in 2008, North Korea has pursued nuclear development unchecked by international constraints. Scott A. Snyder outlines steps the United States should take to lead coordinated multilateral action opposing North Korea's nuclear status, while still leaving a denuclearized North Korea a route for regime survival.

South Korean opinion leaders have increasingly investigated the idea of the ROK as a middle power as a primary framework for evaluating the opportunities and constraints arising from its emerging international role. The essays commissioned in this volume provide an initial evaluation of South Korean efforts to make substantive contributions to the international agenda as a middle power.

North Korea's ratcheting up of tensions requires South Korean and U.S. military forces in Korea to be prepared to defend against North Korean military incursions. Resumption of diplomacy will only be possible when North Korea signals it is ready to resume dialogue and all parties agree on an agenda that includes both tension-reduction and denuclearization.

On the upcoming South Korean presidential election, Scott A. Snyder says the determining vote will be "South Korea's bulging forties cohort" that played a critical role in South Korea's transition from authoritiarianism to democracy and also has the greatest stake in its economic stability.

Despite an ongoing threat from North Korea, South Korea has emerged as a producer rather than a consumer of international security goods. As a newly elected member of the UN Security Council, South Korea has the opportunity to use these investments as a "middle power" and responsible leader in the international community, says Scott A. Snyder.

South Korea has emerged as a major contributor to international security, participating in a wide range of activities far from the Korean peninsula. CFR scholars outline several steps that will ensure that South Korea can sustain this broadened role.

Scott A. Snyder and See-won Byun observe that while the twenty-year anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea may provide a pretext for more active diplomacy to meet a growing list of potential disputes in the relationship, high-level contacts between China and North Korea have stalled, dampening China's hopes for regional engagement.

In his testimony before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Scott Snyder argues that the United States should redouble its efforts to shape North Korea's strategic environment rather than try to identify the right combination of carrots and sticks to be used in a negotiation with Pyongyang.

North Korea's fifth nuclear test on Sept. 9 and the intensified test-firing of a range of missile types throughout 2016 underscored existing weaknesses in using dialogue and sanctions as a response. The timing of Pyongyang's latest provocations coincided with the G20 Summit in Hangzhou and ASEAN-related meetings in Vientiane. President Park Geun-hye used the venues for sideline talks with President Xi Jinping and President Obama. The nuclear test directly challenged a nonproliferation statement adopted by East Asia Summit (EAS) members on Oct. 8, which urged North Korea to abandon its weapons programs. Following extended negotiations with the US, China finally joined the international community in adopting UN Security Council Resolution 2321 on Nov. 30. In addition to strains in the China-DPRK relationship, regional coordination on North Korea remains challenged by disputes between China and the ROK over THAAD and illegal Chinese fishing.

Implementing Solutions in our "Plasticene Epoch"
Posted On June 16, 2014 by Nick Mallos
Plastics are everywhere. And by that I don't just mean in the physical sense, but also in terms of the media. Everywhere I look lately newspaper and blog headlines are focused on the increased pervasiveness of plastic pollution in our ocean.
In the New York Times' Sunday Review, the Editorial Board highlighted the plasticization that's taking place "From Beach to Ocean" around the world. Their focus was Kamilo Point, Hawaii. For the past decade, the Hawaii Wildlife Fund has worked tirelessly to keep Kamilo clean from the onslaught of plastic pollution that washes ashore daily by removing almost 350,000 pounds of debris. I've had the personal (mis)fortune of working at Kamilo and in some places I measured plastics densities upwards of 84,000 pieces per square meter of beach. These plastics are not in the form of bottles or caps or bags but rather the fragmented, millimeter-sized version of their original consumer product form. And on a nearby beach at Kamilo, geologists have identified a new kind of plastic-infused rock that will NEVER break down.

Billington awarded fellowship to expand course
Posted November 11, 2004; 05:18 p.m.
The National Academy of Engineering has selected David Billington as its Walter Robb Engineering Education Senior Fellow for 2005.
The two-year fellowship will allow Billington, who is Princeton's Gordon Wu Professor of Civil Engineering, to "improve and expand instructional material that would allow faculty at other institutions to adapt his highly acclaimed introductory engineering course 'Engineering in the Modern World.'" The course explores how engineering and its products -- from automobiles to airports to computers -- have influenced society and how political and cultural forces have affected engineering. It satisfies University requirements in both history and science or technology and has been very successful in attracting non-science majors.
Under the Robb fellowship, Billington will organize workshops for selected colleagues at other universities who share his goal of making engineering accessible to all students. After an initial workshop in the summer of 2005, the participants are expected to apply Billington's materials and ideas in their own classrooms and report on their experiences during a follow-up session in 2006. Their findings will be assembled into a report that will be presented at the annual meeting of the National Academy of Engineering's Center for the Advancement of Scholarship on Engineering Education.
Billington also recently received the John McGovern Lecture Award in the field of science from the Cosmos Club Foundation in Washington, D.C. The foundation selects two McGovern Award recipients each year, rotating through the fields of arts and humanities, literature and science. Billington, the first engineer to receive the science award, accepted the honor at an Oct. 6 ceremony during which he delivered a lecture on "The Engineer as Artist."
Billington is the author of more than 160 journal publications and eight books, including "The Innovators: The Engineering Pioneers Who Made America Modern." A 1950 graduate of Princeton, he worked as a structural designer and consulting engineer with expertise in thin-shell concrete structures before joining the Princeton faculty in 1960.

Where I stayed
The day started with Onni and Risto treating themselves with an unnecessary large portions of blueberry-pancakes, but luckily Seagull-Toni came to rescue (won`t be the last time). From there we headed to the 70th floor of Rockefeller Center a.k.a 30 Rock to see the New York City skyline. Now, one might think the view from there must be priceless, but the entrance fee was actually 21$/adult! That goes to show that there`s price for everything.
After that it was time to walk through the infamous Central Park and it sure is one big-ass park with many different paths, ponds and countless joggers. New Yorkers sure like running. After miles of walking we were starving, so it was time for some good old soul food which means going to Harlem. Ones Harlem might have been a bit shady neighbourhood, but nowadays it�s all good and all we got was couple kids yelling "Cool hair, dude!" to me J.
At the evening we did some final New York shopping and ended up in Madison Square Garden, where some gentleman gave us his extra-tickets to see the WNBA quarter-finals. And I never thought I was gonna say this, but women`s basketball can actually be quite entertaining.
I guess it`s time for me to end this thing and think something else to do, since the other guys are watching the series-final of LOST with the rest of America.

hey guys,
looking at getting into making some calls this summer. I'm planning on picking up a lathe, nothing too fancy. I was wondering what the minimum requirements are for a a lathe to handle making pot calls. Any suggestions? Thanks

A couple of weeks ago on Twitter, prompted mostly by Maciej's Pinboard Investment Co-Prosperity Cloud, I asked whether there was any sort of discussion/community/nexus of information around tech startups that don't follow the VC-funded Silicon Valley model, but look for alternative/more sustainable ways to do things. I got a few answers with links to things of interest, but nothing that really made me say "Yes! There is a thing here!"
Still, I thought it was worth collecting links somewhere. So this post is just to say that I've put together a reading list of sorts, and I'm going to keep tagging stuff there as I find it. So far it includes things about tech co-ops, criticism of Silicon Valley's "disruptive" business models, thoughtful posts about business models, and some examples of alt startups that I really like.
If you were going to start reading anywhere, I'd recommend Anil Dash's To Less Efficient Startups. I think what he's saying is really important.
If you have any other good links, please let me know.

Finalists Announcement
Hello everyone. My name is Erik Norelus {kireblue}, and I am pleased to inform you that MomoCon is now officially accepting submissions for it's 1st annual AMV contest. So instead of having the AMV Exhibition that MomoCon has held in the past, we are now hosting a competition where the winners receive awards and prizes. Also, each finalist will receive a free 3-day pass to MomoCon 2013. The submission deadline is Monday, February 11th, 2013 @ 11:59pm EST. The submission form can be found here: http://kireblue.wufoo.com/forms/momocon ... v-contest/
1) All submissions must consist of at least 50% Japanese animation, anime-style video game cutscenes or anime-inspired stills to be accepted into the competition.
2) Videos must not contain watermarks or subtitles that were not inserted by the editor. Also, Since MomoCon will be making title cards for all of the finalists, we ask that your submissions do not include intros, credits, studio bumpers, lead-ins, or lead-outs that are not directly related to the video content.
3) Videos must be of reasonable video and audio quality. We suggest that your video resolution be at least 640x480, and your frame rate be 23.976fps or higher.
4) Videos must be under 15 minutes in length.
5) Entrants are only allowed to submit (1) video to a category. Also, entrants are only allowed to submit to (2) of the (6) categories. Entrants will be allowed to submit a 3rd entry if one of their submissions is to the Trailer/ Parody category. In other words, entries submitted to the Trailer/ Parody category do not count towards the (2) submission limit. And lastly, a single video can not be submitted to more than one category.
6) Submitted videos must not contain excessive violence, language or content that would place it above a PG13 rating.
7) Videos that were submitted to either MomoCon's AMV exhibition (2009-2012) or Seishun-Con's AMV contest (2011-2012) are not eligible to participate. Also, "video freshness" will not play a factor in the judging process, but entries that premiered before January 1st, 2011 are discouraged.
8) All submissions must be in MomoCon's possession by 11:59 pm (EST) on Monday, February 11th, 2013. Attendance to MomoCon is not required to enter the competition and will not improve your odds of winning.
The AMV contest is split into six categories. Entrants are allowed to select the best fit category for each of their submissions, but if our judges strongly disagree with the genre of a submitted video, it may be moved to a better fitting category. The categories are as follows:
Fun / Upbeat
Drama / Serious
Romance / Sentimental
Trailer / Parody
The submission form can be found here: http://kireblue.wufoo.com/forms/momocon ... v-contest/
The form requires you to provide a download link of your video via a file uploading service like YouSendIt, or SendSpace. If using Google Drive or Dropbox, please ensure that the URL you send is a "shared" or "public" link. If your AMV is available for download on http://www.animemusicvideos.org, you also have the option of instead providing a link to it's video information page. Youtube or "streaming only" links will not be accepted.
If you video meets the necessary rules and requirements, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to you within 72 hours. Note: At any time, MomoCon reserves the right to not show or ultimately disqualify any submitted AMV for any reason.
File Formats:
MomoCon is able to accept AMVs in a wide variety of file types and even HD (720p or greater) videos. But even so, please do not upscale your videos. If your footage wasn't taken from a blu-ray disc or was already HD, upscaling it to 720 or 1080p can negatively affect your video. The preferred file type is MP4, but we also accept AVI, MPEG-2, WMV, MKV and many more. We strongly discourage submitting QuickTime, DivX, Real Media or Flash Video.
After the submission deadline passes, our panel of judges will rate each video, and the top five AMVs from each category will be selected as a finalist and screened during the convention. Finalists will be announced and notified via e-mail about a week after the submission deadline passes. During the AMV contest screening (March 9th, 2012) , MomoCon attendees will have the opportunity to vote on which video they feel should win each individual category. Once the votes have been tailed, the winners will be announced at the contest screening and via twitter https://twitter.com/#!/kireblue. In addition to the awards voted on by the audience, there will be an additional "Judges Choice" award that will be chosen solely by MomoCon staff. Winning the "Judges Choice" award will not disqualify a video from also winning an award from one of the main categories. Also, accepted videos that do not make the finals of the contest are still eligible to win the "Judges Choice" award.
Prizes and Awards:
Each finalist will receive a free 3-day pass to MomoCon 2013. The top video in each category will also receive a trophy and prize pack consisting of DVDs, manga and various merchandise provided by our sponsors. Winners that are present at the convention will be required to show a photo ID in order to claim their prizes. Anything not claimed during the convention will be shipped out immediately afterwards.
If you have any questions or comments about the contest, please contact me via A-M-V.org {Kireblue}, or at firstname.lastname@example.com

Well this season has been full of highs and lows for us. I missed all of last week due to training in Hershey. Jr. was wanting to get out and try for his second bird. Sat the 24th we had longbeard come to 31 steps, Jr. crushed him and the bird ended up getting his self together and got away from us. We both were sick but Jr. was devasted.
I woke him this morning at 4 and he was not real sure about getting up, but he managed to roll out of bed. I wanted to hunt a place where we had 4 longbeards in two weeks ago. My first owl hoots were answered with a gobble at 0520, we set up as close as we could. I scratched an old wing on the tree were sitting at and he gobbled again. Then we had a two hens fly down and walk past us. I told Jr. that the gobbler should be next. No sooner did I get that out of my mouth and we saw him hit the ground about 60 yds away, then he just vanished. About 2 min after the first gobbler flew down #2 hit the ground in about the same spot. I gave 3 ever so light yelps and I could hear one of them drumming. We had a B-mobil and a hen set up about 20 yds to our left. I told Jr. to get his gun on the decoys and not to move. He shifted his gun and only seconds after he did the gobblers came within 10 feet of us. They were on a b-line to the decoys. They both were wanting to knock the fire out of Bob but Jr. saved the day at 0553 with a load of #6 shot.
To say we have had a good season would not be fair, we have had a great season. We have learned from each other and had a good time doing so. Jr. will be making his first trip to Missouri next spring, I can't wait.

Excellent printer 10/3/2014Advanced Computer from Hampton, VA
The OfficeJet Pro 8100 is an excellent printer for a small office that needs quality color printing. I have a couple of these working at different customer locations and have never had a problem in several years of operation. For the price and being networkable you really can't beat them.
Printer product 8/5/2013
The printer functions great. When loading the ink cartridges, the spring where the ink cartridge is pushed up against appears to be cheaply made. Although the printer appears to be running fine so far. No problems with the install on my laptop. I did have a problem installing for wireless using my PC with the Windows 7 Ultimate OS. Worked with HP on three visits. We finally were able to install it with the basic drivers as the CD drivers wouldn't work with my OS.
Great HP printer 4/23/2013
Great Printer. Fast printing and easy setup.
review 10/16/2012
quick delivery
HP 8100 Pro 8/21/2012
Nice quiet printer, good quality prints.
Excellent Value Printer 5/28/2012G. DeSantis from Prescott, AZ
I was looking for a reasonably low-cost wireless color printer with superior text and graphics and a low operating cost. The HP Pro8100 met all my expectations. I like the features and the fact that it is very quiet when printing.
Great printer at an awesome price 5/11/2012Joe from Seymour, Indiana
This is the third of these printers I have purchased, all three are fast, quiet, and seem well made. The only thing I would change is the footprint, it is a large printer, but this is because of the automatic 2 sided printing. I will probably be purchasing more of these, all the people that have them seem to like them.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 3/6/2012
Satisfied to date

I really like that quote because it reminds me that the current trend of the internet turning into a one to many medium is wrong. End to end connectivity allows everyone to be a publisher with the same resources they use to access the Internet.

By Avi Salzman
Rare earth miner Molycorp (MCP) fell 7.8% on Friday as management said that costs could rise in the near-term at its main California mine. The company appeared at first glance to have nearly met analysts' earnings expectations on an adjusted basis, but unadjusted EPS of 26 cents was below expectations for 42 cents.
The company expects to see higher costs at its Mountain Pass mine this year, but costs should eventually normalize.
"Molycorp did not provide specific cost guidance for 2012, but expects costs will increase slightly over reported 2011 levels, before normalizing 2013+ when the company reaches higher production rates," wrote Stifel Nicolaus analyst Paul Forward. "Molycorp cited costs related to the acceleration for completion of Project Phoenix, the ramp to Phase I production levels, and increased chemical costs as reasons for the cost inflation expected in 2012."
But Dahlman Rose analyst Anthony Young expects the company to be able to weather the industry's new higher cost structure.
"We continue to like the long-term fundamentals surrounding the rare earth sector. We believe the cost pressures that Molycorp is experiencing will prove to be the norm, and not the exception, in the rare earth industry. We believe that these elevated costs will ultimately lead to project delays and some cancellations for projects in the industry. Over the near term, MCP shares will have to absorb adjusted cost expectations and lower rare earth prices, but we remain optimistic on the long-term outlook for the rare earth industry and Molycorp shares."

"Decision Time" is back! In this interactive feature, editor Brian Lovett will share a scenario from his 25-plus years of hunting turkeys. Each hinges on a critical decision. Post what choice you would have made, and then see how things actually turned out.
Conclusion: That's the Jakes
To be honest, my decision had already been made for me. You probably noticed that none of the local gobblers were willing to stand their ground and face off against the massive gangs of jakes roaming the Texas landscape. When the latest batch of shortbeards announced its presence, the gobblers approaching my calling were already aware of it and likely reacted quickly.
That is, they got out of there. I didn't realize that until about 45 seconds later, when I yelped and heard the gobblers respond — 50 yards farther from where they'd last been. The next gobble was 50 yards farther yet, and then the gobbling stopped.
I looked back at my buddy and laughed. What could we do? We'd had four longbeards almost within range that morning, and every one had been run off by jakes.
I'll tell you what we did. We made plans to hunt Texas this spring. All those dang jakes will be 2-year-olds. The only decision we'll have to make is how to carry all those birds back to the truck.
What decision did you make?

Anonymity. Trust. Professionalism. In his world, Jonathan Quinn has a few rules. He'll get rid of bodies that have to disappear; nothing ever gets traced back to him. But when Quinn is called to a busy Los Angeles port where a shipping container has just come in from the sea, it's clear his rules have been violated. Inside the crate is a dead man - a man who once saved Quinn's life. And while no one knows how CIA agent Steven Markoff died, Quinn has to do more than clean. He has to find Markoff's girlfriend, Jenny. To tell her that Markoff is dead. To find out why someone sent Markoff's body to him.
Until a week ago, Jenny Fuentes was an assistant to an ambitious congressman. Now Jenny is missing, too, and a lot of man power is making sure she isn't found. But Quinn has his own man power. He has tools that can pry into secrets held anywhere in the world. He has the skill to trade blows with killers and spies. And he has covert weapons: his eager and smart apprentice, Nate, and brilliant Orlando, his closest friend, who's saved his life more than once.
Racing from the corridors of power in Washington to the bustling streets of Singapore, Quinn won't stop until he uncovers the truth behind his friend's violent death, the astounding reason Jenny has vanished - and what she knows about the most explosive deception of all.

"Good Story - Lousy Narration"
Not by this narrator. He tried too hard and made it hard to buy into the story instead of just letting it unfold.
See above.
I'm glad to see that Scott Brick is narrating the remaining books in the series. He's worth paying more money for because he makes the story come alive.
"Good book, Narration was a let down."
The Cleaner was a good book with an excellent narrator, Scott Brick. William Dufris is painful to listen to. When I started listening to ???The Deceived,??? I had to check the title on the IPOD to make sure I didn???t down load a western. Dufris adds a John Wayne twang when voicing Quinn. I was anticipating Quinn to utter the phase ???...but, Pilgrim, you caused a lot of trouble this morning; might have got somebody killed; and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won???t. I won???t. The hell I won???t!??? ??? McLintock (1963)
It is quite irritating. So much so, that this is the first review I have written. In and of itself not notable, but I have over 200 titles in my library. The only other time I was this disappointed in a narrator switch is when John Lee read George R R Martin???s "A Feast for Crows." I am happy to see Roy Dotrice is narrating Martin???s "A Dance with Dragons" and I am equally happy to see Scott Brick is back for Battles??? "Shadow of Betrayal."
"The Deceived" is a good book, but it may be worth buying at B&N and reading in lieu of spending 11 hours listening to Dufris.
"Worth the Listen"
After listening to the first book in this series and really enjoying it I was looking forward to the second but there were so many negative comments about the reader that I put it off till finally I thought I would take a chance; I am glad I did. William Dufris isn't Scott Brick but he does a decent enough job that I didn't find that he got in the way of the story. If you like the series don't let the negative comments regarding Duris's performance prevent you from trying out this listen.
A photographer who shoots on location, which means I drive a lot to different places. Audible is my constant companion!
"What a mile churner! Loved it!"
Well crafted story, with twists and turns. Just when you thought you had it figured out......oops...
Aside from Quinn, Orlando... complex and great asset to Quinn.
Not having to read it myself!
yes, and almost did
Other reviews lambasted the reader, but they are unfair. Don't let that review stop you from getting this book! Glad to have ignored them!
Missouri Veteran
"Great book"
This is classic Quinn. If you like the other books in the series you'll love this.
"Great story bad reader"
It is hard to listen the reader doesn't control his voice volume well. For me listening through car speakers it requires constant volume adjustment.
"Would benefit from a new narrator"
Probably not
Yes. If it had another narrator.
No. Mr. Dufris's interpretation of the characters made them all come across as either whining or peevish. Very annoying to listen to.
The plot line was a little confusing, but it worked itself out in the end. Following along was made more difficult because of the irritating narration.
Intelligent, fast paced and excellent narration. This book kept me interested from the opening sentence to the last. I can't wait to get Brett Battles other books!!!
"Good story but suffers for the narration"
After thoroughly enjoying The Cleaner with Scott Brick as narrator I was looking forward to this one. The story was great but the narrator was disappointing. All the female voices sound whiny and the narrator can make suspenseful scenes seem dull. Glad to see Mr. Brick is back for the next one. 5 stars for the story but loses 2 for the narration.
"not as good as the first, 8,9 books"
I listen to the 8th book in the series first based on reviews. I really liked it and then went on to the 9thI decided I would do the whole series and went back to the first one. Gave that 4 stars and said Wow for the first one that was great I also liked it that Scott BRIC was reading all of them. I like to do a series one after another when its really good and especially if it has the same good narrator the whole time. I was disappointed they changed narrators and the story wasn't quite as good. quite frankly the women's voices all tended to sound the same and they were annoying and whiney. I also figured out a lot of the book ahead of time. still gave it 3 stars and I'll check the next one out and see. If this had been my first one I don't know if I would have listened to the entire series.

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Love it! Love it! Love it! Love it!
Robin Hrabik
That is so awesome. It will be greatly cherished. After seeing your beauty it makes me want to start back on mine. Each one of my blocks have different flower patterns. Now I'm anxious to get mine done. I hadn't thought about doing a QAYG but that certainly would make it much easier quilting. Thank you for sharing your beauty.
I love cross stitch quilts, working on a Baltimore Album now! Thank you for the picture!
What a wonderful keepsake - I am sure it will be passed down for generations............. Love the quilt.
beautifully done... congrats on being the quilt of the week on the home page
Nancy in western NY
before you speak THINK
T is it True? H is it Helpful? I is it Inspiring? N is it Necessary? K is it Kind?
It is beautiful.
When it seems like the world is falling to pieces remember that the pieces are falling into place. We are nearing closer to the End Times.
See what one can accomplish as a team.
So beautiful....
Thank you all so mQuch. I never dreamed one of my quilts would be The Quilt of The Month. Thank you QuiltnNan for letting me know.

How's this for efficiency? Laura Williams, of Tennessee, scored on these Rios the weekend of April 3 at Stasney's Cook Ranch near Albany, Texas. And it only took her one shot.
"The weather was mild, (with) a fair breeze, and we finally picked out and arrived at our location about 6:45 a.m.," Laura wrote. "It was very nerve-racking as 39 hens walked by with three longbeards trailing at the back.
The hens were very close, and (we had) to sit completely still so (we didn't) spook them until the longbeards were within shooting range. It was very exhilarating to watch the longbeards strut and drum while (we waited) for them to approach. At last they arrived, and one still trailed behind a couple of feet.
The leader seemed to stop and pop his head up, and his partner was about a foot and half behind but was quickly catching up. I took the shot dead on at the first gobbler, aiming for the wattles, and boom, they both fell.
I jumped up and couldn't believe it! One shot, two down.
As we walked up to view the birds, I heard the guide remark, 'Jelly heads.' That's yet another term in hunting lingo I picked up."

Finished off a new set of tests for E2. Will actually need
to do some grunt vision and infrastructure work for
Manifest this evening, which is sad, but livable. Will
also take that time to do a Red Hat install for doing RPM
setups. This is a good thing. I should be learning RPM, in
general. It's been a crazy few days in the "gigantic
emails" department, but again I'll live.
Next on deck, better man pages. Want to start analyzing .deb packages and to see if I can perhaps write a perl module to interpret them and extract info from them automatically.

I can't play long tonight, but I'll send you a FR.
It'll work, but the soundstage won't be as believable or expansive as some of the favorites around here (CAL!, AD700, DT880 and 990, K/Q701 or Annies, Stax, HE-400, etc).
I wont be on tonight either. And are you a competitive player?
Doing that for me makes the voices sound more recessed and not as clear, plus it is easier to adjust the volume with a mixer like the SLYR's. I scored a cheap NIB Sennheiser x320 on ebay, cut off the headset (which sounded surprisingly open), and modified the mixers cable to accept any headphone with a 4 pole 3.5mm jack.
Is the isolation part sarcastic? Can't tell.
I didn't think it was going to be a problem, but every gun shot my mic indicator lit up :( And I don't really crank the volume.
can you show me a pic of your mod/setup?
Do you mean sort of like:
Fun 7/10
Competitive 9.5/10
Comfort: 7/10
I think I'd rate myself:
Fun 9/10 (never take much too seriously)
Competitive 6/10 (gave a bonus point for teaching team-mates what not to do and drawing enemy fire)
Comfort 9/10 (well padded, huge space between the ears)
No offense, but it's really hard to read your posts.
No offense taken; I'm sure it is. I really have no clue why I've been typing like that. I don't want to try to figure it out either, lol. I'm just going to do my best to change it. Btw, that was an appropriate picture for Head-Fi. I thought that was quite funny :)
Here is my constructive criticism...
You tend to use very fragmented sentences, which are inherently confusing and hard to follow. You also post and say things like, "Yes. Yes. No. Sometimes. Same here. Sure it does. Maybe. I love that too. I agree..." Those responses mean nothing to the reader unless the reader takes the time to go back and forth and try to match each response to each question and decipher what you're trying to say. We're not privy to your thought process you had at the moment you wrote your post, and we don't want jump back and forth between the quoted text and your reply to try and make sense of what you're referring to.
It's pretty confusing (and a little annoying) to try and read them. To be honest, as soon one of your posts start to fall into the quick, fragmented response patterns that requires me to go back and look for the original questions, I just stop reading and skip ahead to the next post.
I try to use whole sentences, but I guess I failed. I totally understand what you're saying about everything though.
If you do want to post that way there is a better way to do it. The best way for others to read and understand that type of post is by replying within the quote itself and bolding your replies.
Here's an example (Click to show)
What exactly is your setup and what are you after?
I'm after a virtual surround tech that will utilize lossless. Optical can't carry 5.1 other than through Dolby Digital. HDMI is the only way to go for the PS3, hence me wanting to use a receiver. Also want to mention I'm going to be using the Antlion Modmic in my final setup.
From what I gather you're looking for the best gaming audio from a console?
Yes, best gaming audio from a console.
Also music from the PC?
Yes, I love music more than anything. The music will come from the PC.
Are they in the same room (able to share hardware?)
Yes, they are in the same room.
What have you actually tried with your system?
Tritton AX Pro, Psyko Carbon 5.1, and a Yammy receiver (the one I have) coupled with the Q and K702 Annie.
Have you tried a mixamp? Chances are it would solve 90% of your gaming issues (in conjunction with a headphone amp to power the K702's)
No, I can't use the mixamp. It's DD5.1. Everything I've tried so far has been lacking, with my current receiver being the best.
^ See how much easier that is to read? There is a reason Q&A interviews are written and formatted this way on both websites and magazines Sure it takes a little more time for you to write, but it takes infinitely less time for us to read and understand your reply.
Love it. I thought of replying within the quote itself before, but for some reason never did. Derp. I know this may sound irrelevant, but for the past week almost, I've been feeling like Bradley Cooper from Limitless. It's awesome. It's also a lot to handle. I'm just now understanding how to make it work for me, as I was quite behind before (one of the reasons I've been gone so long). I've learned a lot in the past few days. It's much easier to read. Thank you very much. Well, I really don't care if it takes me longer to write, as I want to make it easy as possible for people to understand and reply to what I'm saying.
It's also NOT necessary to quote and reply to every little comment that people make.
When people post, they assume others are going to read it and acknowledge what they say. They don't need always need a "verbal" affirmation for everything they've said. So, it's NOT necessary to go through and multi-quote everybody's posts acknowledging everything they wrote. Do that in your head.
When you post massive multi-quotes and just say things like "Yes......I agree.....Good point.....Interesting..." - that's unnecessary posting. Given the frequency in which you post in the aforementioned format, some of your posts come across being empty/unproductive/spammy/etc, although I'm sure you don't mean them to. Just assume that everyone else already assumes that everyone else is going to read their posts. For example, I assume you just read that last sentence twice, but that's a rhetorical assumption and I don't actually need an answer - silent acknowledgement will do.
You've really dumbed it down so much to the point that I wonder if you think I'm mentally challenged or that my parents/teachers didn't teach me how to converse properly, but I appreciate the input. I realize there are other avenues of response. I can agree with you on that, the short worded responses, though. I really do not mean for them to be any of that. Lol. Couldn't help it.
Personally, I typically l only post when I have something meaningful or productive to say. When I do post, I take the time to write my posts carefully, I choose the words purposefully, and I mean what I say.
Anyways, that's my posting advice. I apologize if I sound like an A-hole.
You say you learn quickly, so lets see it!
That's wonderful. It's great advice. You don't. I do ;) It's not going to be perfect, but it's going to be better.
I think you said it while sounding much less like an a-hole than me. I was worried I might make things worse, but I felt something had to be said.
He did very well. Regardless, I appreciate the input from you both, as well as everyone else.
My goal was/is not to flame you (which is easier on forums than Xbox), I want you to realize that the length, tone (you often seem to be talking to yourself), and statements that sound like you're claiming to be an expert, are the things that rub me the wrong way. Assumptions and questions aren't so bad, I learn all the time too and I think it's important to be open to change your mind about something which is something you do well too, but in the context of someone who plays games on a console in a dorm or their parent's house that finds this thread and asks "what's a good setup?" then a lot of those things that don't meet your goals MAY be an entirely reasonable setup for them. You know, what if someone observes this thread thinking "I want a good headset" (the main visitor), but they see posts that only $450 headphones plus $200 receivers plus $200 amps, plus a device for chat mixing, they're gonna think we're nuts and there's nothing reasonable for them, and decide to stick with some TB x12's in stereo. But there are lower-budget options for impressive audio, and upgrade paths. Such a guest may not tell from your post and explanations that these are the next steps up for you.
I will say, in your favor, that you speak with enthusiasm and mostly positively. Neither do you try to hurt other's feelings, which I may have done to you. I apologize for hurt feelings, but I would ask that you continue to mature your posting "style," I don't want to be mean but I thought you might need examples instead of you just not knowing what some people are reacting to. I want you to know I'm not saying these things to feel like a "big man" or some sort of bully, I just want change so we can get back to the hobby and focus on that.
Talking to myself? Okay, lol. I realize this, although my intention was not to upset you. I'm certainly no expert. Thank you; I pride myself on being open. I know that my ideal setup isn't for everyone. I thought I had said that it was for just me? I don't remember. I can see that, but what a travesty it would be to stick with some TB x12's. I agree with that as well, and once again, thank you. I am positive. The enthusiasm I guess is just a byproduct. I don't know. If you didn't try to hurt my feelings, don't apologize. You're fine. I really am trying to change here. I know you're not, but wow, to think that I've really derailed people from the hobby is sad. I think that's extreme, but somewhat true. It was never my intention.
I wasn't challenging you to be wrong, I will read your link and if in general I find out how to use a PC soundcard to play console audio, I'll tell you how. I was referring to the inclusion of an optical-in on sound cards at all, here's the fastest example I found first, from the cheapest Recon3D soundcard. Note the label for optical-in:
I am not saying I know how to do it and that there may not be some kind of performance hit, but if you consider that the console processors like mixamp and Recon3D USB essentially are external soundcards and work very well processing optical cable fed 5.1, there ought to be a way with a PC soundcard. It just boggles my mind that it isn't working for you and probably others, and shame on Creative and Asus if they can't make it easy as a mixamp or something. I'm not sending you money though, lol.
I have no clue why it didn't work either, but I do know that he tried to hook up the Ps3 to the soundcard via HDMI, and it just did not work no matter what he tried. I'd like to know if the Ps3 could be hooked up to a soundcard on a computer, utilizing the benefits of it though.
Dude, Don't worry yourself too much.
As you said, you're new to the forum stuff.
I've been on a few where someone makes a bit of a rough entrance, only to become well regarded once they feel their way around and get with the vibe/lingo :)
I did worry just a little bit too much that day. I'm glad you remember me saying I'm new, lol. Well, hopefully that becomes me!
If you looked at the posts as more like conversations and respond as you would in a real life chat rather than a text list it maybe a bit easier to follow. By doing that you can also dispense with most of the quoted text and weave the info into your reply and add your own questions/info as well.
I know it will be, and why I haven't done this till now has baffled me.
e.g.: Girlfriend asks you "Tomorrow are you driving into the city? If you are are you able to swing by the market and grab milk, coffee and something for us for dinner. Mum needs a lift in too. Can you grab the dry cleaning on the way home and let the dog out and the cat in when you get there?
Currently you'd respond by quoting your girlfriend and replying: "Yes, yes, ok, what? Ok, when, goodness lol. Ok, yes, yes."
A better way (for the girlfriend to understand you) may be something more like: "Yep - I'm driving into the city and will grab that stuff. Pasta for dinner?. Will grab mum, what time and where from? Will get the dry cleaning and sort the pets out. Need anything else from town? Ok if I stop in at Bob's for a couple of beers on the way home?"
By going the conversation route of replying you've included all relevant info from the original request (without having to quote it all back so she knows what points you're replying to), given a reply that can be understood even without the person having to know or read the first request, added in some info you're unsure of, invited a reply to the bits you need info on and also managed to score a leave pass for a few beers by being such a devoted boyfriend :P
Really hope I don't sound condescending , just trying to help make things a bit easier for you to get your thoughts down in a way that can be used to help others respond etc and also help us to read what you are meaning.
LOL. That's a great example. It's just crazy how people have gone to such lengths for me. I do appreciate it. The stupid thing is that, in text messages via phone, all I can do is reply back. I can't customize the post like I'm doing now, so I'm forced to reply in the "better way". It's nothing I'm new to, but I guess I just overlooked it here. Idk. By no means did you sound condescending. I really appreciate that you cared that you may. It all helps man.
MUCH better, SoAmusing
You were right, you do learn quickly
I've got some new toys today! (No, I didn't take the image upside-down; blame Dropbox wanting to rotate my pictures for NO reason.)
Not pictured is the capture card I've been waiting on, which coincidentally arrived today; I'll be sure to put that through its paces soon, with my various consoles (but mainly the PS3).
First impressions with the HE-400 itself are that it's very well-built and FEELS like you'd expect of a $400 headphone, it's a lot lighter than I was expecting, and it also clamps a bit less than expected...but I would have liked some slightly bigger cups or earpads, as the top and bottom of my earlobe does noticeably touch the pads, which doesn't happen with a Stax Lambda's noticeably taller earcups. Overall, good marks for comfort.
For sound presentation, the mids don't sound painfully recessed to me like I feared from some other people's impressions. Bass and treble notes are a bit more prominent than vocals, though, in contrast to the SR-Lambda's "vocals first" sort of presentation.
Soundstage is noticeably less "airy" and vast than a typical Lambda, but still pretty good. To be fair, the Lambda line bests even the AD700 for soundstaging in my experience, which is no small feat.
Sense of clarity seems pretty good thus far, with voices coming in mostly unobstructed and treble having some "sparkle" if it's called for. I guess that's something planar driver structures tend to excel at in general, whether driven with magnetic or electrostatic force.
(Also, there were TWO sets of velour pads for some reason. Just goes to show how much MLE loves velour pads!)
The ODAC is also surprisingly small. I've seen 15-stick packs of gum bigger than this thing. Definitely a good choice for portable use. I'll get to testing that later, after I've familiarized myself with the HE-400's sound presentation.
Yayy, finally, you got to experience some other phones, lol. Can you not just rotate the picture back? Wow, more high marks for the Lambda series. Only makes me want to own one that much more.
I can't rate peoples' stuff anymore, lol. Thank you very much though. I still have more to learn, but it's better. I do, although it's a simple concept. Look at my sig though? I mentioned you very early on in my thread. I'd like to know what you think of it.
Do you have to be so sensitive? Headache inducing? Everything? I realize it's still a lot, but give me a break. No, I don't have to. I talk a lot. People are "my thing". I'll try to cut down the quotes beforehand, as some of it I'm not even replying to. Maybe a PM will do. Idk. I'm still working on it. I realize your email or whatever may be blowing up with the posts, but, idk what to tell you. It's really not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I don't mean to take over your thread. I'm just trying to be a part of, learn, and add to the discussion. Anyway, well, I'm different. Call me weird if you'd like. I manage my time well, so I have time to do this. I'm also a thorough dude. Can't help it. You could call me a completionist, but that has since changed. It's better now. Eh, I don't know how to end this, but more quotes are coming. You'll have to live with it I guess.
Interesting. I already know about all the stuff you mentioned, but it could be useful for people new to the "internet purchasing" though...

COSTA MESA – Students and faculty at Orange Coast College may see a vast improvement in facilities within the next several years.
Measure M, a bond measure voters approved in November, allocates $698 million to the Coast Community College District to be divided among its three campuses – Orange Coast College, Golden West College in Huntington Beach and Coastline College in Fountain Valley.
"Each campus has identified their needs and will be responsible for determining project priorities on their campuses," said Martha Parham, district director of public affairs. "With Measure M, we can focus our general fund monies on classes and use the Measure M (money) for identified repairs and upgrades to facilities."
To fund the measure, taxpayers will pay $17.97 per $100,000 of assessed valuation of their home, Parham said.
The money probably will go toward funding projects in accordance with the district's Vision 2020 plan, created three years ago, said Richard Pagel, OCC's vice president of administrative services.
"Vision 2020 is really the list of projects that created the need to go out for Measure M," Pagel said.
OCC will likely receive $435 million from the bond measure, Pagel said. This money will go toward modernizing classrooms and other college facilities. In addition, the bond will fund the expansion of telecommunications, Internet access and technology.
"We have some older facilities that were built in the '60s," he said. "They're not going to last another 20 to 30 years and they're not the modern facilities we need to be using for our students."
Projects the college hopes to tackle include improving the math and business, literature and languages, and social sciences buildings. In addition, Pagel said he'd like to focus on creating a new chemistry building and student union complex, as well as a veterans' center for the increasing military personnel population at the college.
This isn't the first time the district has received state money for building projects.
In 2002, voters approved a similar bond, Measure C, which provided the district with $370 million.
"Measure C funded several new facilities and upgrades to our campuses, but did not complete all of the needed improvements identified in our Vision 2020 plan," Parham said. "Generally speaking, Measure C focused largely on new net square footage for our campuses, where Measure M will focus more on upgrades, repairs and technology."
Measure C, paired with state funds for higher education, built OCC's library and ABC building.
"We complimented those funds with Sacramento money, which is why we were able to stretch Measure C as far as we did," Pagel said.
Megan Cobb, an OCC biology student, said she has had several classes in the older chemistry building on campus.
"It's the worst building we have," she said. "It's so hot and stuffy in there. Halfway through the lecture, all I'm thinking about is how uncomfortable I am."
Cobb said although the bond doesn't directly increase the amount of course sections available, she is hopeful that by expanding the buildings on campus, the college will hire more faculty and offer more classes.
"It would be silly to have all these new classrooms and have no one to teach in them," she said.
Michael Boudreau, an OCC student studying mechanical engineering, said he is looking forward to improvements being made on the math and English buildings.
"Being housed in older buildings definitely impedes ... student learning," he said. "You want to be relaxed and comfortable in your learning environment."

Well yesterday I was in my Tower Blind and shot with my crossbow and now found out I hit him but he ran off...
Here's that Video... >>>>>> http://youtu.be/q5V8mK87Pqk
Since I can't pull back my crossbow with my arm surgery I took my shotgun out this morning and 4 Hens came in followed by a Longbeard. I was sitting at the base of my Towerblind so I couldn't run the video but I shot and he fell, got up and ran and then I SMOKED and rolled him while he was running!
I'll ad the Pics in a few but he has a 11 1/8 inch beard and an 1 1/4 and an 1 1/8 Spurs!
