I just cant handle it. *sobs* 10 seconds and I had to end it.

Haha. It seems Spiderses so quickly became almost as infamous as another fanfic we all love to hate. :>

Think somewhere along the lines of Doom: repurcussions of My immortal (or something insane like that). Only ponies.
I couldn't make it past...well anywhere. Things that butcher english annoy me. - August 19, 2011 at 1:09 AM

I'm so glad that someone made a video and the other person for reading it. That way I didn't have to suffer trying to figure out what was going on. At least try to figure out what any sane person would be able to figure out. I don't even know what to say after that. Still funny though.
Now I also kind of want to see someone try a fixed and expanded story of TwiMac Spiders and how they adjust. If done well enough, I can see it being a good [Random]/[Shipping] story. Maybe. - August 19, 2011 at 1:23 AM
- Aidinthel said...
It's hard to say for sure without a full psychological evaluation, but I suggest you seek help. The fic may have caused your brain to attempt suicide. - August 19, 2011 at 1:23 AM
- MuffinShy said...
Thanks to you i now know what really happened because i didn't go farther than 5th sentence.
You're an awesome person! Awesome video! You made my day I'm gonna go search for pony spiders now. - August 19, 2011 at 1:25 AM
- MLPPinkiefan said...
The lines "I am a wizard," and "spiders by accident," were when I just lost it. This fic is incredible. I just can't describe how awful and hilarious it is.

- Ryex said...
Why did i watch the whole thing? why could I not read the actually story?
I've come to a conclusion. crappy animation makes troll-fics bearable and funny. - August 19, 2011 at 1:28 AM
- Knightly_Reader said...
oh god. oh god. I dont even.
part 2? (I watched this during a lecture... I didnt realise i was laughing out loud until the lecturer was looking at me...)
Kudos. - August 19, 2011 at 1:30 AM
- HaysforPonies said...
As much as the fic is a horrible attempt parody of Half Life: Full Life Consequences, the dramatic readings are fantastic.
- August 19, 2011 at 1:34 AM
- benjamin said...
That was truly envigorating. The way the reader shifed his tone of voice to march the emotions portayed my the text was absolutely marvelous. the art also helped bring the author's masterpiece to life. Their is a level of connection that the reading adds which cannot be found anywhere else.
- August 19, 2011 at 1:36 AM
- Dr. Henry Killinger said...
... I watched the whole thing.
Now my right eye won't stop twitching.
Also, my words, I have none. Please do not subject me to these horrors ever again. My poor heart can't take it. - August 19, 2011 at 1:44 AM

Best. Vinyl Scratch image. EVER.
Oh, and...I guess there's a post attached to it too, isn't there? Cool. I guess. You guys...have fun with that. I'll just be over here. In my happy place.

THIS WAS SO AMAZING. I was crying. I was laughing so hard I was crying. I read spiderses, but this is just a whole nother level. I love the comments he added, too.

she wanted to talk to other spiders because that's what spiders do? i thought that they usually just kill each other.

What's really sad is that this is NOTHING!!! compared to My Immortal. If you don't know what that is, you are quite lucky.
If, like me, your curiosity got the better of you and you read it, I weep for us both
OT: Damn funny - August 19, 2011 at 3:01 AM

Does this mean that that horrible fanfiction isn't that "famous" anymore? Hooray!
- August 19, 2011 at 5:22 AM
- Firleycat said...
Why does every fandom need their own version of Full Life Consequences? They are never as good as the original and every time someone fails at beating it, It just makes Full Life Consequences look like a masterpiece in troll fiction.
- August 19, 2011 at 5:52 AM
- Specter Von Baren said...
The thing about a fic like this is that I don't think it's possible to not do this kind of thing on purpose. A normal person can't do this, you have to have to be skilled in order to write this badly.
- August 19, 2011 at 6:33 AM
- Mars said...
HAHA That was really funny. Reminds me of Jerry Jackson cartoons.
- August 19, 2011 at 6:46 AM
- The Dread Pirate Roberts said...
Dogs howled. Bats took to the sky. Spiders gathered in my living room to hear this, and threw up when it was over. I am still cleaning up little piles of arachnid puke. I laughed like a very silly person.
This kinda reminds me of that one episode of "Dexter's Lab", the one with "Computress" and Mandrake's head swelling up? Yeah, that one. Kudos to the people who had the self-confidence and sheer guts to make that thing.
Okay, back to cleaning up after the spiders. - August 19, 2011 at 7:30 AM
- Shannon said...
@The Dread Pirate Roberts
The first part of your comment killed me almost as much as the Flash did.
I'm so glad our fandom has its own version of Doom: Repercussions of Evil now. We're growing up! - August 19, 2011 at 7:43 AM
- Duskfly said...
I cannot believe how far this has gone. All you bronys are CRAZY! - August 19, 2011 at 8:26 AM

I feel dumber for watching that, but it was amazing either way! SPIDER Mac is badass.

How are the ages of the Earth and universe calculated?
Many independent measurements have established that the Earth and the universe are billions of years old. Geologists have found annual layers in glaciers that can be counted back 740,000 years. Using the known rate of change in radio-active elements (radiometric dating), some Earth rocks have been shown to be billions of years old, while the oldest solar system rocks are dated at 4.6 billion years. Astronomers use the distance to galaxies and the speed of light to calculate that the light has been traveling for billions of years. The expansion of the universe gives an age for the universe as a whole: 13.7 billion years old.

Science as an Instrument of Worship
NASA astronomer Jennifer Wiseman asserts that studying creation can show us the nature of God; science can inform us of what we need to do as stewards of God's creation; understanding the natural world gives us a deeper knowledge of Jesus Christ; and science can give us a better understanding of ourselves. This essay was presented at the November 2009 Theology of Celebration Workshop.
Christian Geologists on Noah's Flood: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Geologists Davidson and Wolgemuth address the widely promulgated notion that the Flood can account for the earth's complex geology, and that all genuine Christians should accept this viewpoint.
How should we interpret the Genesis flood account?
Genesis 6-9 tells the fascinating story of Noah, the Ark, and the Flood. Some Christians interpret the text to mean that the biblical flood must have covered the entire globe. They also work to explain the evidence in rocks and fossils in terms of this world-wide flood. Other Christians do not feel the text requires that the flood be global, but could have covered the small region of earth known to Noah. The scientific and historical evidence does not support a global flood, but is consistent with a catastrophic regional flood. Beyond its place in history, the Genesis flood teaches us about human depravity, faith, obedience, divine judgment, grace and mercy.
Does thermodynamics disprove evolution?
A common argument against biological evolution is that the theory contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. The second law says that disorder, or entropy, always increases or stays the same over time. How then can evolution produce more complex life forms over time? The answer is that the second law is only valid in closed systems with no external sources of energy. Since the Earth receives continual energy from the Sun, the second law does not apply.
What is the "fine-tuning" of the universe, and how does it serve as a "pointer to God"?
Fine-tuning refers to the surprising precision of nature's physical constants, and the beginning state of the Universe. To explain the present state of the universe, even the best scientific theories require that the physical constants of nature and the beginning state of the Universe have extremely precise values.

For more, see Sporting Devils on page 8. photos by Linda Hendrickson y. A-y i Residents discuss comptroller's audit at Freeport board meeting by Jim Golding Monday's Newsday story about the state comptroller's audit report on the vil-lage's general fund budgets under the Glacken administration brought com-ments from several residents attending that night's Board of Trustees meeting. The report charged that the "previous administration provided inadequate financial oversight and failed to properly safeguard village assets." Stephen Malone, former deputy village attorney under the Glacken administra-tion, asked why Mayor Andrew Hardwick "didn't point out 12 independent audits" that had been done under the previous mayor. Bill Nolan suggested appointing an oversight board for village finances in the future. He called the comptroller's audit, as reported in Newsday, "vague." Sharon Payne said that, while she did-n't know if the deficit amount of $10.8 million reported in the newspaper was accurate, she commented that "It doesn't look good...We need to investigate this. I feel personally offended." She also appealed for the entire community "to work together on the issues." Several residents, including Eileen Weaver, Stephen Malone and Dewey Smalls, had high praise for Department of Public Works and Electric Utility employees for their quick response to correcting problems caused by Tropical Storm Irene. Ms. Weaver said the crews were "extremely efficient and active" and responded quickly to remove a downed tree in her neighborhood on Lena Avenue. Mr. Malone also praised DPW employ-ees for restoring power quickly, but com-plained about the large number of reverse 911 calls and public service announce-ments he received from the village. Mr. Smalls expressed concern that he had not noticed representatives of the Federal Emergency Management Agency in Freeport to deal with storm-related issues, but Mayor Hardwick confirmed that FEMA officials did come and that they would be present in the village for "six months to a year." Mark Rouvella asked that village offi-cials help expedite flood damage insur-ance claims. Village Attorney Howard Colton explained that Nassau County has set up a claims center to expedite the process. James Caracciolo expressed apprecia-tion to the mayor "for the great job your team is doing." He cited another article from Monday's Newsday about a new museum and new retail shops planned for Freeport and the board's recent actions on approving bonding for capital projects that would be eligible for partial or total reimbursement from grants. "This is why you're here," he said. "Our quality of life is improving." Anthony Miller raised the issue of bul-lying of young people and asked that the village promote an anti-bullying cam-paign "so we can teach young people greater tolerance and to encourage our youth to celebrate each other no matter what their differences are." He urged that it not be done for political reasons or self-promotion, but "do it for the kids." continues on page 3 NAMES MAKE THE NEWS: Read about your neighbors! - 51 local people's names were in your community newspaper this past week.

This artwork is not on display
Giant paratriangles of color form a cape with deliberate historical references that date back to the Old Testament. Reboux's color is purposely constrained and she achieved the crucial shape of the triangle for the cape while on the body. Laid flat, the cape is of a slightly irregular and ungainly shape, but Reboux has us direct our reading to the configuration on the body and not on the plane.

It is not a dream, but a probability that the radio will demolish blocs, cut the strings of red tape, actuate the voice "back home," dismantle politics and entrench the nation's executive in a position of power unlike that within the grasp of any executive in the world's history.

If rag-time was called tempo di raga or rague-temps it might win honor more speedily. ... What the derivation of the word is[,] I have not the faintest idea. The negroes call their clog-dancing "ragging" and the dance a "rag." [Rupert Hughes, Boston "Musical Record," April 1900]

This comes after the $83,000 worth of damage caused by vandals back in September.
The project was expected to cost between $23,000 and $24,000.
No arrests have been made in the vandalism case.
The Brown County District Attorney hopes to have the results of D-N-A testing and fingerprints collected from the scene sometime this may.

Travelling with pets
For anybody who actually really loves pets seriously, traveling along with domestic pets has usually demonstrated a good scenario. Frequently to be able to offer highest comfort and ease for his or her domestic pets, individuals steer clear of traveling completely, other than whenever essential. Furthermore, even if an individual does head out of residence together with the pet, the particular pet's comfortableness works as a continuous worry.

ITHACA, N.Y. -- Counterfeit cash has become a problem in Tompkins County. The Ithaca Police Department says it has seen an increase of bogus bills being used in the city.
One hundred dollar bills have been the most common problem. Detectives say counterfeit currency is seen more often during the holidays as people struggle to make ends meet. Sometimes busy cashiers don't notice that they're fake.
Police detectives want to hear from anyone who's run into the counterfeit currency.
The Secret Service has a list of tips to protect yourself from the phony cash. Experts say you should compare genuine bills with suspect ones. Check the seals and borders as sometimes you can see differences in color and check the paper it's printed on. Genuine currency paper has tiny red and blue fibers embedded throughout.

Purchase Memoir 204, Backbone of the Americas: Shallow Subduction, Plateau Uplift, and Ridge and Terrane Collision, and get Field Guide 13, Field Trip Guides to the Backbone of the Americas in the Southern and Central Andes: Ridge Collision, Shallow Subduction, and Plateau Uplift, for only $10 more.
Memoir 204: Papers in this volume were selected from those presented at the 2006 Backbone of the Americas Meeting, sponsored jointly by multiple North and South American geological societies in Mendoza, Argentina. Following two summary chapters on the overall anatomy and evolution of North and South American segments of the orogenic system, this volume includes ten seminal chapters dealing with salient aspects of the key geodynamic processes that have accompanied Cordilleran geotectonic evolution: forearc terrane accretion, arc magmatism, shallow subduction, and backarc intracontinental deformation.
Field Guide 13: The geologic field guides in this volume to the Andes of Argentina and Chile were written for the five field trips accompanying the 2006 Backbone of the Americas conference (see above). The meeting was organized around three processes influential in the evolution of the western margin and cordilleras of the Americas—ridge collision, shallowing and steepening subduction zones, and plateau and orogenic uplift. Designed for use in the office or the field, the field guides are to regions that highlight these themes and present up-to-date overviews with references.

When I go to launches, I usually lean my bigger rockets against my van. Invariably, a gust of wind will blow them down, where I leave them. I'm afraid one of these times one will get stepped on. I decided to build a folding rack for them. I was originally planning on building the whole rack out of PVC pipe and fittings. But I was afraid it wouldn't be heavy enough. So I decided to build a hybrid, using wood and PVC.
As can be seen in the photos, the whole rack folds like a sawhorse. The PVC rack also folds up on hinges. I was planning on putting a folding shelf at the bottom, but decided it would get stepped on and broken. Since there's grass and dirt at both launch sites I go to, I decided the rockets could just sit on the ground.

CCI Film and Photography Gala
First Annual CCI Film and Photography Gala to benefit the ESL in Franklin Hall
The first annual College of Communication and Information (CCI) Film and Photography Gala invites Kent State University students to submit photography and short films for a juried competition to be held on Friday, March 30 at 5 p.m. in Franklin Hall. CCI, in conjunction with Kent State's Undergraduate Student Government, will sponsor the competition and event, with proceeds benefiting the Equipment Services Lab (ESL) in Franklin Hall.
Two separate competitions will take place at the Gala event: film and documentary photography.
The photography competition will take place at 5 p.m. in the FirstEnergy Auditorium Lobby and will consist of two rounds of evaluation. Doors will open for the film screening beginning at 6:15 p.m. in the FirstEnergy Auditorium. Tickets are $5 for this business casual event.
All submissions are due to Jennifer Kramer in 131 Moulton Hall (CCI Dean's Office) on or before March 26, 2012. Participation is limited to current Kent State students but the film screening is open to the public. A non-refundable flat fee of $15 per person is required to enter the film competition. Each participant may submit up to three entries for this fee. Each entrant will receive notification of acceptance by March 28, 2012.
All films and photographs must be viewable by a general audience and free from any obscene, provocative or inappropriate content. All works must be completed by Kent State University student contestants while currently enrolled.
Film Competition
Judging will be based on originality, technical merit, execution and audience appeal. Each film entry should be submitted on an individually-labeled DVD and can be between one and 15 minutes long. Films must have been created in the past two years and free of any copyright infringement.
Documentary Photography
Judges will rate photos based on creativity, photographic quality and reflection of the chosen theme. The top 10 entries will move on to the second round of judging, where first, second and third place winners will be selected.
The images that make up this exhibit were compiled by students from elementary and basic photography classes, Visual Storytelling, photojournalism and specialty classes, as well as photos taken for student media and personal projects from fall 2010 to spring 2011. These represent the diverse interests and talents of our students. They showcase their skills, their passion and their wide range of interests. The collected images are meaningful, emotional, aesthetic and very much what we, as a teaching faculty, envisioned when we set out to share with you the worlds our students see through their own eyes.

His sometimes-happy, sometimes-tumultuous life took a few unusual turns. One turn took him to Rome where he met and fell in love and was married.
But addiction to prescription medication plagued Jonathan until the day he died in Rome, in the woods, alone. He was 29.
His father Mike has recently published a book. It's Jonathan's story but told from Jonathan's perspective. Using journal entries, personal anecdotes and contributions from the people who know and loved Jonathan, Mike Dacy has put together a book that honors his son but which speaks to individuals and families affected by addiction.
Ultimately, it is a book about love — and how love allowed a family to look past one man's demons to see what was truly there.
"Jonathan is my son and it happened to any of my kids I'd want to honor them," said Mike Dacy of his new book 'Jonathan Behind Blue Eyes.' "When I started going through all of his stuff I came across a lot of things he wrote. I found his journals from when he was growing up. And the family supported doing the book. This book is from Jonathan. If this was a film, he'd be the producer. I'm just the director."
The book takes readers through Jonathan's life, from his childhood in Chicago, his family's move to Florida and Jonathan's choice to live with his dad in Atlanta when his parents divorced, and eventually his pursuit of a loving relationship in Rome.
"He started having severe migraines at about age 13," Mike said. "I would take him to the doctor and he'd take pills for it and sometimes they got better. But when he was introduced to Oxycontin at around 18 years old, that's when he found relief from them. But then he started taking antidepressants and anti-anxiety medication which were all prescribed but he went back and forth to different pharmacies and doctors to get different prescriptions filled and he self medicated heavily."
Mike remembers times when Jonathan was very happy, and other times when he would have emotional breakdowns in public when he was high. He could be extremely sensitive and would cry easily.
"One time he walked out of his bathroom and collapsed," Mike said. "I thought he had died. He could be sitting there eating and just pass while the spoon was halfway to his mouth. That happened sometimes when he had self medicated."
In April 2009, Jonathan met Tiffany, a nurse and photographer living in Rome. They met online and met shortly after. They seemed to be drawn together by what Tiffany says was a strong spiritual bond, despite his addiction.
"He was a really interesting person," Tiffany remembered. "He wrote extremely well. And once I met him in person I could see he was a very deep thinker. We had a lot in common. We could sit and talk for hours on end and never run out of anything to say. And he was very handsome."
Jonathan told Tiffany about his addiction and that he was in a program in Cartersville to get off pain medication.
"I accepted that," she said. "I cared about him as a person and I could see who he really was."
Despite his addiction, Jonathan and Tiffany were married in 2010 at the courthouse in Cartersville.
"We were very happy together," she said. "The addiction would pop up every so often and he might have to go stay with his dad for little while but I tried to separate the addict from the true Jonathan."
On April 23, 2010, Jonathan went missing. He simply left. Mike, Tiffany, family, friends and even strangers helped search for him and distributed fliers throughout Rome.
Someone saw him in the Coosa area and he was spotted at the hospital as well. After nine days, the search ended when Jonathan's body was found in the woods near some railroad tracks on John Davenport Drive. The coroner concluded that Jonathan had lethal amounts of medication in his body.
"From a black and white standpoint I can see where they would call it a suicide," Mike said. "But Jonathan always said that when he was ready to give up the drugs, he would go into the woods and find God. I think that's what he was doing."
The book, "Jonathan Behind Blue Eyes," contains fond memories of Jonathan as well as heartbreaking words from Mike, Jonathan's mom Terri, Tiffany and from Jonathan himself. The following is an excerpt from the book. It was taken from Jonathan's journal and is a letter to his addiction while he was in the hospital in 2004…
Jonathan Dalmond Dacy:
February 7, 2004
Dear Opiate,
I know I haven't seen you in a few days. I'm writing to you to let you know where I'm at and what's going on with me. But first, I want to thank you. I remember when we first met. You were always there for me. Whenever I started to get a headache you were willing to take away my pain. Do you remember? I'll never forget that. I started having migraines all the time, and so you were there with me all the time. Before I knew it, we were best friends. I wanted to have you around all the time. And you were. Not only would you take away my pain, but you gave me confidence, you made me feel so good. Before I knew it, you were the only reason I wanted to get up in the morning. I appreciate your willingness to make me happy. But just one thing, where the ... are you now? Why did you take all my money? Oh, it's OK, I only have a son to raise. I only had car payments and rent payments. But you didn't seem to care about that. Oh, it's no big ... deal. I'm only in a hospital now because of you. You wonder where I've been lately? I've been ... miserable."
The book also contains wonderful words from Jonathan and the family — messages of love and hope and patience.
In the final chapters, Mike recounts the family's desperate search through Rome for Jonathan, including conversations with family members right up until his body was found and immediately after.
"Jonathan always wanted to be certified and educated to help people with addiction problems," Mike said. "That was a big motivator to write this book as well. In a way, this is his way of doing that."
Jonathan has a son, Remy, who is now 11 and who is very proud of the book. He visits Jonathan's grave site with Mike and asks questions about his dad often.
Mike said Jonathan would have been proud of the book.
"It's exactly what he would have wanted since he couldn't be here physically to put the book together himself," Mike said. "His wish was to help people and to teach about living and loving life. This isn't just about addiction. It's about how to live a life of love."
"Jonathan Behind Blue Eyes" is available online at amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com as well as through the publisher, Balboa Press.

The Dell shopping experience is all about Dell -- not the user. Currently, you have to walk through each product line, narrow by model, etc. This isn't very useful to my mom, or anyone new to Dell. Even the latitude/inspiron choice is never explained. Start with features -- walk the user through the choices until they get the perfect PC. What size do you want? What are you going to do with it? Etc. Status Update Check out our new Assistance Seeker to shop by what you need, not by price!
Categories: Dell Web Site, Inspiron, Latitude,
The rubber feet on my Inspiron are big and get snagged when slipping into my computer bag. One has already fallen off. Make them slimmer and less prone to falling off. Status Update Please see chris_b's comment
Categories: Inspiron,
I think that Dell should create a Tablet PC for normal consumers not just business users.Status Update: This idea has been implemented with the XPS 10 tablet.
Categories: Sales Strategies, Inspiron, XPS,
Those rubber nubs around the screen are so ugly. How can Dell remove them from the XPS m1330 but not the Inspiron? They could at lease remove some of them or make them blend in more. How many do you really need?
Categories: Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Monitors and Displays, Inspiron,
As a consultant responsible for dozens of companies supply of PC's and notebook computers, I'm having a harder and harder time finding anything decent at Dell to recommend! As Dell pares down their brands, getting rid of Studio, and Studio XPS, we're now left with the unappealing and plastic-ey consumer Inspiron brand, and the what-used-to-be-top-of-the-line-but-now-is-ho-hum, XPS. Is it just me, or is the new Dell XPS portable line void of that classy, bleeding-edge technology that we used to know and love? Now, not only are they (IMHO) ugly, but they are now just cookie-cutter systems that really offer nothing that other vendors also have. What I miss are the "middle brands", the Studio and Studio XPS. Those were innovative, beautiful, and something that when seen, were wanted! All glass screens, sleek designs, semi-bleeding-edge technology, and for just a bit more money than the classless consumer Best Buy junk. Dell? Hire some design people. Listen to those of us that USE computers, that want the latest features, and incorporate those in your products. YES, an OPTION for Hi-res screens are REQUIRED. 1600x900 is nice on a 14" screen, not a 17.3". That is not what I want to spend my hard earned money on when I buy an XPS. If you're going to have a high-end brand like XPS, make it count. Make people envious to want one. We're not all teen gamers, so running around with an Alienware design notebook is a bit embarrasing. Give us power, and package it in a classy, sophisticated design. Build it, and they will come. Status Update: Please see bill_b's comment for further details. Thanks for posting!
Dell needs to put more focus on reducing the thickness of laptops when designing them, Both the current generation of Inspiron and XPS laptops are thicker than the previous gen. Also, these laptops are more wedge-shaped than ever before. Dell's design is going backwards. We want SUPER THIN and relatively UNIFORM THICKNESS for laptops. My Dell Inspiron 1764 is thinner than the current 17R, I would buy another 1764 anyday over the fat wedge 17R. The Next Generation of Dell Laptops have to be around 1" thick around the entire laptop. Not ,74" thick at the front and a crazy thick 1.5" thick at the back. Thats ridiculous design. I don't want some ugly wedge. The previous gen hinge design is also better than the current one. It allows for the battery compartment to stick out in the back without sticking out of the frame. Dell needs a better hinge design for next gen. I mean this design that currently HP and Apple are using: Alos note the better frame design thats all alluminun and uniform thickness. Also only about 1" thick at all regions, very thin nice laptop. This is what Dell needs for its XPS line. But keep the current touchpad, the HP one has poor buttons on it, THIS IS WHAT DELL NEEDS TO MAKE THE XPS LINE BETTER, UPRANK THIS PLEASE. DELL NEEDS BETTER LAPTOP DESIGN NOW! Status update: Please see the official press release for the XPS 15z. There will be more models in the "z line" released in the coming months.
Dell Inspiron 17 should also get personalization with the design studio like with Inspiron 15, Studio 15, and Studio 17. and add in the other studio and inspiron laptops into the mix as well. Promote Please! More Personalization choices for more laptops! Status Update The Design Studio is now an option when purchasing the Inspiron 17

Dell should bring back the 17 inch inspiron. Status Update Check out the Inspiron 17 laptop

Am I alone in wanting a less bulkier notebook? I think it would be great, if reducing general bulk is not viable, to have a 13.3" screen option in the Vostro notebook line, with the configuration options of a 14.1" with dedicated graphics. It was possible on a XPS1210, Dell should not have a problem with 13.3", unless it was some sort of marketing decision to go with bigger notebooks. From what I've seen, Dell's 12.1" notebooks in the past were big sellers, I don't think there are any worries of not selling enough of them to not warrant an option. As I travel a lot for a small company, I would really love the idea of a more compact notebooks with the least sacrifice for power as much as possible while keeping the attractive price range and small business-minded features of a Vostro line. Status Update We now offer a Vostro 1310. To find out the details, read more about this new product offering.

Safety culture on show at Pearl GTL Qatar
Hertel's annual safety day in Qatar formed a good opportunity for Hertel's Group HSE Director Michael de Klerk to get acquainted to the Hertel team at Shell Pearl GTL.
Operations Manager Jason Pearce and HSEQ Manager John Sheerin welcomed Michael to the site, who was accompanied by recently appointed members of the Middle East team Wichard Huigen and Michiel Wolters, Managing Director and Regional Finance Director respectively.
The day began with a toolbox talk, giving the opportunity to engage with the workforce and gain an insight into daily life on site.
Jason explains: "It's around 30 degrees here at the minute; that's a good summer in most countries in Europe. In the next few months that will rise to between 50-60 degrees. It was good that our guests get to experience the extreme heat conditions that we face. To manage this with all of the PPE and extra kit like breathing apparatus requires a great deal of focus and concentration on safety."
This year saw the launch of a safety mascot for the site, Herly, brainchild of Jason, John, and HSE Officer Rhoky Reyes.
"Herly is helping us on Shell Pearl GTL work towards Goal Zero, with no recordable incidents and pride inproduction" says Jason. "There is a lot of activity going on around the site, and I firmly believe that this initiative will bring us better control for excellence in safety and performance that Hertel are known for.
"We have had a fantastic 15 months on Pearl. We put a great deal of effort into alignment under a shared vision of safety and responsibility. We motivate our people to perform, rather than rely on an authoritative approach. This approach has proven to work well, with people rising to the challenge."
The day ended with a celebration. Ten awards were presented, ranging from best safety performance, best scaffolder, to best supervisor of the year.
"Through a combination of focusing on the hearts and minds of our people, and ensuring that they have the right training to develop and have a personal passion for safety, we can create the safest possible working environment for all. Honesty, integrity and respect for people sums it up.
"This is what differentiates Hertel in terms of how we treat our people," concludes Jason. "Hertel's value for safety is a key part of the culture here on Shell Pearl GTL."

Located 15 kilometres south-west of the city centre, Barcelona Airport is a modern international gateway, boasting good shops and places to eat and drink. Its train station is a short walk from the terminal and provides a fast service every 30 minutes to stations in central Barcelona (all linked to the Metro network) and outlying areas beyond. An Aerobús service also runs every 15 minutes to Plaça de Catalunya.

The hotel was great and the assistance from the front desk staff was more than expected of a hotel with such an affordable price.

"Nice if you only want to be near the airport"
If you only want to be near the airport it's good and quiet. The location seemed to be in the middle of an industrial park. We were there on a Sunday night and it was very quiet. Nothing within walking distance. They offered free shuttle service to and from the airport which was nice. You could eat at the bar area downstairs and the food was good. But […] be careful as it is costly and they have a captive audience. Whatch your change as they not only charged me dearly for a burger and a club sandwich he attempted to short me on my change giving me small denomination of coins instead of Euros. Unfortunetly this soured my whole stay there and we will not return. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Close to airport"
The hotel had 1 restaurant which was closed for dinner. the Lounge was closed could only eat in the Bar. Hotel needs some maintenance work. Shower in bath was 'messy'. Water went everywhere and the tub was a very slow drain. Room service arrived 5 min early - got us out of bed!Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Convenient location for early flight"
Room was large and comfortable. Being just 5 minutes away from the airport makes it very convenient if you have an early flight. But you should go somewhere else for having dinner.Hotels.com 真实住客点评
Really close to the airport and has a free shuttle that begins at 5 am which is what we were looking for. With the hotel so close to the airport it is very far from any food or activities in Barcelona. If you do want to spend time in the city there is an exress bus that leaves every 15 - 20 min right across the way from the front entrance to the hotel. […] The bus goes to Plaza Espana and runs until about 10:30 pm. Room was very nice and confortable. Staff was incredibly helpful and pleasant. Biggest fault of the hotel is no free wi-fi, which in this day and age is rather unbelievable. It costs a small fee for an hour or a larger fee for 24 hrs. Other than no free wi-fi it is a great hotel for your last night in Spain before catching your flight out. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"Good place for a long nap"
The hotel was nice and quiet - which was ideal for our overnight stay before a Transatlantic flight. It was cozy and clean inside the room and the doors to the hallway were practically soundproof - ideal for this hotel since people are checking out for flights at all times of the day. There is a free shuttle from the hotel to the airport, which comes […] every 60 minutes. Also, the food in the bar (served until midnight) was surprisingly good - and affordable. It was very nice to have one last delicious Spanish meal. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
"there must be better"
Hotel apparently recently changed hands - signage is missing and taxi driver did not know the location/name (we arrived too late to catch the free hotel shuttle although this was convenient for our morning return to the airport. Staff nice on arrival but failed to provide wake-up call as requested. Room clean and comfortable but lukewarm (at best) water, […] and a room conditioner that only blew hot air (even when set to 15C) made it less than a pleasant stay. The final straw was a $1 euro per person/night charge that we were notified of at checkout. Clerk said it was a Catalan gov tax. If this is a charge for every room, then it should be included in the hotels.com price. Will stay elsewhere next time 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"OK for an early flight, but noisy"
Just needed a place to stay for an early morning flight. The hotel is very close to the airport and offers a free shuttle to and from. Staff was friendly, although there was some confusion on payment - they didn't understand that room was already paid through hotels.com. On the downside - the walls are paper thin. I could hear the person on the floor […] above walking, voices from adjoining rooms. Not very conducive if you are a light sleeper. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Very comfortable room"
We were given an upgrade to an executive room, because we had waited 45 minutes at the airport shuttle stop for a shuttle that never arrived and ended up taking a taxi to the hotel (minimum fee of 20 Euros for a meter reading of 9 Euros!). We ate at the restaurant and had the daily special, which featured three generous courses. The only downside, really, […] is the fact that the only two English TV channels are news ones!

We used the hotel for a very short overnight stay. The hotel provided shuttle that pick us up and send us to the airport.

We wanted to be near the airport, and this hotel with its free shuttle service filled that bill. There is nothing in the surrounding area so you have to depend on the hotel restaurant--which was only fair. Other than that the hotel was clean and modern.

"What a waste of money-Renaissance Hotel Barcleona"
The hotel is beautiful but in an industrial area not close to down town at all. The check in and check out process was disorganized and chaotic. After traveling for 24 hours to get there, my room wasn't ready at 6:00pm-and all I got were excuses as to why it wasn't ready. No concessions were offered to me to make up for making me wait over an hour to […] get a room and no aplogies were ever made. The restaurant wasn't open until 7:00 so after going all day without a solid meal, I was forced to eat their over priced snacks for dinner in the lounge/bar area. They charge $25/Euro per person for breakfast. the shower didn't drain properly, so after showering, there was a pool of water all over the bathroom floor, which spilled over to the sleeping area. The conceirge was rude and acted as though he was doing me a favor by doing his job and making shuttle arrangements to down town and later the airport! When the down town shuttle did arrive (amongst many other shuttles to the cruise ports/airport) the driver never announced who he was, leaving many guests standing around and wondering when he was going to show up. After a brief wait, he left and didn't come back for another hour. When guests complained to the hotel staff the response was, "we're very busy and don't have time to keep track of the shuttle drivers!" What? The shuttle bus is part of the hotel 'service', which they charge for the return trip back to the hotel! It is free when it drops you off in town, but then there is a charge for coming back to the hotel. When I checked out of the hotel, I had a few hours to kill before I had to head to the airport for my flight home, and graciously, the staff offered to keep my bags locked away for me after I checked out and before I headed home. Well, they misplaced my things and almost made me miss my flight home. They do have a baggage check system in place, however, they are so disorganized,the do not instill confidence.

"OK for a one night stay"
Hotel is clean & modern, but a 25 Euro ride away from the city center. We arrived at 8:45AM & the rooms (we had two rooms) were not ready (check-in is at 3:00PM). They stored our luggage for us & moved them into our rooms when they became available. One room's A/C did not work upon our return that afternoon. They immediately gave us another room. The […] replacememnt room's A/C was not functioning well either. Even after requesting repairs, the A/C barely made a difference in the room after running non-stop all night. The A/C of room two was working great. Food in the hotel restaurant is barely acceptable & very expensive. They have a nice shuttle system to downtown Barcelona & the airport. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评
Staff was not friendly. The staff called our room at 22:30 (!) requesting payment for the meal that we billed to the room, were rude and condesending. That was our first night and we weren't scheduled to check out for 3 more nights! We had pre-paid 100% for the room and didn't appreciate a "wake-up call" in the middle of the night to be hasseled over […] a 40 Euro meal which was properly charged to our room. Certainly not up to the "Renassiance" hotel standard of service. Mini-bar fridge was out of order. Hotel is remote, not convenient to the city so best for business travelers who don't mind rude calls in the night. 阅读更多信息Expedia 真实住客点评

Run in comfort with mens athletic shoes
Get the comfort and support you expect when you invest in mens athletic shoes from Sears. We have a full inventory of name-brand mens shoes from Reebok, Converse and more, and you can find the latest styles in the size that fits you best. Find comfortable racing flats for improving your speed in the next competition, and check out our lightweight barefoot shoes that feel like you're hardly wearing anything at all. Whether you play basketball or run track, train hard with mens athletic shoes from Sears.
Pay attention to the width and the size of the shoe before you buy it. It must grip the sides of your feet without feeling constricted as you wear it. Your heels should rest against the heel counter, but you should have a small amount of space between your toes and the toe box. If you wear a size 7 but feel your toes rubbing against the toe box, then consider moving up one half size. If you want to break in your new shoes, try our shoe care stretching spray, which softens the leather in your basketball shoes or cross trainers.
We have mens athletic shoes with low, moderate and high cushioning depending on comfort level. You can also find low and neutral foot arch support in our low, mid-top and high-top shoes. Many of our athletic running shoes feature antimicrobial sock liners that reduce the growth of bacteria that cause tinea pedis, otherwise known as athlete's foot. If your favorite shoe doesn't offer antibacterial liners, then we have athlete's foot remedies such as protective insoles to use with athletic shoes of all sizes.
We have running shoes with absorption insoles and athletic shoes with improved arch support to comfort your feet whether you're on the basketball court or jogging. Many of our cross-training shoes feature nonslip outsoles for improved traction over wet roads and sidewalks. If you need similar traction in the garage, try our workshop boots with slip-resistant outsoles to prevent slips and slides as you walk on bare floors or over slick oil spots.
Get a head start in the race with lightweight running shoes, and grip the road with our nonslip cross trainers. From shoe care accessories to supportive inserts, we carry a range of useful products to enhance your new shoes. Shop online at Sears for more affordable name brand athletic shoes in the styles you want.

Body and soul. The song. That's what London constable and sorcerer's apprentice Peter Grant first notices when he examines the corpse of Cyrus Wilkins, part-time jazz drummer and full-time accountant, who dropped dead of a heart attack while playing a gig at Soho's 606 Club. The notes of the old jazz standard are rising from the body - a sure sign that something about the man's death was not at all natural but instead supernatural.
Body and soul - they're also what Peter will risk as he investigates a pattern of similar deaths in and around Soho. With the help of his superior officer, Detective Chief Inspector Thomas Nightingale, the last registered wizard in England, and the assistance of beautiful jazz aficionado Simone Fitzwilliam, Peter will uncover a deadly magical menace - one that leads right to his own doorstep and to the squandered promise of a young jazz musician: a talented trumpet player named Richard "Lord" Grant - otherwise known as Peter's dear old dad.
©2011 Ben Aaronvitch (P)2012 Tantor
Mystery reader (especially series) and Austen lover
"The Magic Continues!"
In his second adventure, Peter Grant pursues the killers of jazz musicians (by jazz vampires) and we learn more about Peter's father, a jazz legend. While his wizard training continues, Peter encounters chimeras, specialty vampires, and the Faceless Man (an evil wizard). This book is, if possible, even more fun than the first Peter Grant book.
Aaronovitch continues to create wonderful characters, each of whom has his or her own view of the world and the things that happen to them, often ironic or sarcastic but always either amusing or laugh-out-loud funny! Again Kobna Holdbrook-Smith gives a wonderful performance of the text. From cheeky working-class Peter to Oxford Dons to upper-class wizard Thomas Nightingale, the accents and inflection are perfect (at least to this American ear), and his female characters are as believable as the male characters. In addition, he does a creditable job of singing snatches of 40's and 50's jazz songs.
This series is one of the best discoveries in my reading life to come along in quite some time. I have already read the third of the series, and I pray that there will be many more installments.
Highly recommended!
"A book where the narrator enhances the book."
This is one of the few audio books where the narrator not only lives up to the potiential of the book but also enhances it. The narrator gives the story more character and shades in the story to give it more depth. The various British terms (knackered meaning dead tired) (transport cafe is a truckstop) and the accent may give Americans a little trouble but otherwise I think everybody will enjoy the story.
The texture of the Jazz scene and the expressions of London life where enjoyable as well.
The first book was good but the second was better and I still waiting to listen to the third.
Love speculative fiction so I am always watching for great sci-fi or fantasy. But since I'm a book addict, any good writing works for me - mystery, historical fiction, classics, even great kids' books. Tend to steer clear of YA and romance, but sample some here and there since you never know where great stories or authors may be hiding :)
"Very Entertaining"
Although I did not enjoy Moon over Soho quite as much as Midnight Riot, I did find it quite entertaining and worth a credit. It certainly makes me hope that Audible will keep bringing us the audio versions as the author continues to add to the adventures of Peter Grant.
After the tragic events at the end of Book 1, Lesley May is indisposed throughout Book 2 and I think that's part of the reason I did not like this book as much. Peter needs the considered advice and more careful approach of Lesley to offset his inclinations to dive into trouble; without her, he does simply dive into trouble and I found his lack of sense a little aggravating. There are some semi-explicit sex scenes in this book that were not in Book 1 that I didn't really like - mostly I just wasn't as taken with the romantic interest as Peter and the author clearly were. (Although, without giving away anything, I will say I LOVED the scene where girl meets mother!) All said, I just wasn't as taken with Peter or the plotlines of Moon Over Soho as with Midnight Riot. But the back story for what happened to Peter's father was pretty great, Holdbrook-Smith is still nice to listen to (and easier to follow now), the book was still entertaining, and the ending gave me high hopes to see more of Lesley again. So, overall, a credit well spent and I'm going for Book 3.

"More of a good thing"
Well, I'm getting better at understanding English, as opposed to American. But...there are a number of "pop" references that I had to think about or check on. Maybe I'm getting too old, but it was worth it.
The narrator's ability to use different voices remains a virtual wonder, particularly as more characters are introduced into the arc of the story.
After reading this, 2nd in the series, I can't emphasize enough the advise that you read the series, beginning with the first book.
"Education continues"
Second book ithe series is just as enjoyable as the first. I like that we learned more about Peter's parents. A few new characters but primarily growth in the characters that we met during Midnight Riot. As this is why I like to read series, I say "yippee!" One of the characters is going through very tragic and challenging circumstances and the author doesn't give it a quick fix and make it all right. Of course I am pulling for a positive resolution but I applaud the author's restraint.

"even better than the first!"
and the first was wonderful. the reader really nails the voices... listening is even better than reading it.

I ordered 'print at home' tickets from Greyhound (Binghamton to NYC), but I do not have printer at home. My university library, where I usually print, closed earlier than expected due to some reasons. What should I do now? Should I talk to the people at the terminal ticket counter and explain my situation or do I need to buy a new ticket? Has anyone been in this situation before?
If you can, try an internet cafe - they usually have printers available. Alternatively, another student? If you have time, even walking into a nearby office and explaining yourself may get you a pity print ;) Alternatively, go to the Greyhound terminal early and ask (or better call their help line). But do ask first before buying another ticket - you lose nothing by asking, and they may solve it for you easily. However, note that on their website, it says: so you'd be lucky if you got a generous counter agent willing to do so. What they suggest doing online is: |

Our vow to be courteous is not a sworn statement

For the first 13 years of his life, my oldest was the sweetest boy scout.
Then he started high school and unleashed a stream of curse words that KO'd the entire Federal Communications Commission. They didn't fine him — they fined me.
Perhaps this is a modern rite of passage into adulthood. All of my son's friends curse.
And as a culture, coarser language has become mainstream. We're desensitized to it and to rudeness in general. When a stranger is courteous to us, we recoil with shock.
Inevitably if you complain about this lack of manners, someone will accuse you of being narrow-minded and escort you to an H.G. Wells machine and send you back to Howdy Doody Time. They will point out the U.K. study where participants were subjected to a pain stimulus like a hammer. Nine times out of 10, a blistering swear word helped the subjects cope better with their pulverized thumbs than those who said, "Fiddlesticks."
Hitting your thumb is one thing; dining at a restaurant and enduring cursing from neighboring tables becomes wearisome.
In one thoughtful essay, it was suggested that when we lose our manners, we are losing awareness that others are just as important as we are.
Years ago, I admired the CEO of the company where I worked. He made eye contact with everyone and greeted them with genuine kindness, whether the person was the janitor or the officer of a Fortune 500 firm. His smarts and courtesy made a lasting impression on me.
"Grand gestures aren't always necessary," Tom Peters says. Peters, the business author, cites American statesman Henry Clay as an inspiration, and urges us to use Clay's quote as a screensaver: "Courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest in the grateful and appreciating heart."
About 11:30 one day, I picked up my son after he finished his shift at his summer job. His managers have complimented him on his politeness and work ethic. In a skeptical moment, I wondered if the right kid climbed into the van.
"We're going to cure this swearing problem," I tell him. "Every time you curse, a quarter goes in the cookie jar."
"Oh, good," my oldest wisecracks. "I'll be able to buy a new car."
