Changing up seasons with Nayuta no Kiseki
We play through the early sections of Falcom's new action-RPG.
Anyone who thinks that the PSP should be put to pasture may want to reconsider, as the system is still a-ticking over sales-wise in Japan. Ys creators Falcom are still sticking to the system before their official "move" to the Vita with Ys: Celceta Tree, and it goes to show with their latest action game Nayuta no Kiseki.
And before you start comparing notes and seeing the lineage between this and past "no Kiseki" games like Zero no Kiseki and Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, don't bother, because there aren't any story ties between this and past Legend of Heroes games. This is a good thing, as no prior knowledge of past Kiseki games is needed to enjoy the narrative.
Players control a boy named Nayuta, whose fishing village lifestyle was disrupted when a giant meteor crashed from the sky and created a giant tower nearby. After much exploration, Nayuta ends up having to solve the mystery of the new continent known as Lost Heaven together with his friend Signa and the fairy Noi while figuring out who the mysterious girl in the coffin of the Star Garden is. Along the way, they come across different continents filled with all manners of monsters and platforming action.
Our tag team duo of Nayuta and Noi aren't defenseless, thankfully. Nayuta brandishes a sword to cut foes apart while Noi can cast spells ranging from giant red spinning blades to whirling tornadoes that damages enemies over time for a short period. There's no such thing as mana management here; attacking enemies with melee force will charge up Noi's magic stock fast so that you can continuously pile enemies with magic without much repercussion.
Chaining as many hits together will yield a temporary stat boosts for our hero until he either gets hurt or until the combo counter meter on the bottom left side of the screen goes to zero. Suffice to say, combat is really fun as Nayuta controls like a breeze and the enemies provide ample challenge.
In addition, our hero has access to special gear moves that are bolstered by his fairy compatriot. After acquiring one of these powerups early in the game, players can press and hold the circle button after an attack to unleash a short-ranged gear-powered slash that breaks down tough barriers and walls. Later on, you can hold onto green bulbs using a gear hold maneuver that lets you traverse to hard-to-reach spots.
The catch is that you'll expend a bit of blue energy; deplete it and Noi gets stunned momentarily. While doing the charged gear slash was helpful in dealing big damage, we had to take some time getting used to the gear hold maneuver. The controls were easy enough, but calculating your jumps from one bulb to another required a bit of guesswork.
Rather than having each area interconnecting with each other seamlessly like a typical RPG, Nayuta no Kiseki divides each area into stages you can revisit over and over (like Super Mario). Players can replay them after their first playthrough just to boost up their rankings and collect anything they missed out on. Thanks to the game's weather-changing system, the game encourages you to as certain parts of a stage won't open up unless you change the game's weather.

Ralph Lauren: A romantic revolutionary
Ralph Lauren had timeless heroines who were independent and bold on his mind at his Friday morning downtown show on the last day of New York Fashion week.
His runway unfolded like a movie about some rebellious beauty during the Russian Revolution trapped at a seaside village where she dressed in black nautical garb – shapely coats, a crested officer's jacket, sailor pants, breeches, fisherman's...

Berets, bolero hats, hand-tooled belts and serapes were the accoutrements to Ralph Lauren's stunning show at the downtown Skylight Studio Thursday morning.
Accessories come first, because they really established the vibe here: an artsy Bohemian spirit with a Spanish flair. It was luxe, textural and powerful, conjuring a woman with a sense of adventure and style.
The first look featured...

Models dressed in three-piece Glen plaid suits wearing top hats and carrying walking sticks heralded Ralph Lauren's "Downton Abbey" moment.

The designer, who is fascinated by the heritage and romance of England, played...

On Fashion Week's last day, Ralph Lauren went back nine decades.
A first look featuring a blue moth-eaten "vintaged" cardigan over a jade metallic silk tank and long, pale-yellow flowered skirt heralded Ralph Lauren's ode to the '20s and – not to worry – the ravaged sweater was symbolic, not illustrative of the rest of the collection.

ALBANY -- A gunman and his partner held up two men at 3:37 p.m. Friday on the 700 block of Mobile Drive, an Albany Police Department report stated.
"Two Hispanic males told officers they were outside working on a vehicle when they were approached by two black males," said Phyllis Banks, police spokeswoman. "One of the suspects had a handgun and demanded money. Both of the victims complied."
The gunman and his partner fled the scene with the victims wallets. The victims were Cruz-Eduardo Vicente Mejia, 19, and Leocadio Vicente-Vicente, 49, Banks said.

Flybe: Guernsey to Frankfurt
About this flight
The carrier: Flybe
Flybe has emerged as a budget airline to watch. Flybe is now Europe's largest regional low-cost airline. The UK-based low-cost carrier acquired most of British Airways' BA Connect routes in 2007, and currently operates a dense route map in and out of the UK, with especially good connections to destinations in France.
Most notable about Flybe: its connections to out-of-the-way corners of the British Isles that don't get a lot of low-cost air traffic, like Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey. Flybe operates out of more UK airports than any other airline.
Recently expanded network has yielded impressive destination list. Lots of new airplanes.
Booking over the phone is extremely expensive. In general, there are many hidden fees and charges. Some of these include a booking fee of €5, as well as a credit card supplement (€1.50), and a charge for seating. All tickets are non-refundable.
* Carry-on: Up to 10 kg of hand luggage.
* Checked: Depending on your class (economy, economy plus), you are allowed between 20-30 kg of stuff. Anything over this is charged €14 per kilo for the first three kilos and then €17 for between 4-6 kilos. After that the charge is €23.
* Please visit Flybe's website for more information on its baggage policy.
You can pre-book seats up to 24 hours before the flight departs. You may pre-assign your seat for €8 per flight per sector and €22 for bulkhead and exit row seats. Once seats have pre-booked and paid for the charges are non-refundable.
Check-in and Ticketing
Online check-in is available at most airports from 36 hours to 1 hour before departure.
more...Departure: Guernsey, United Kingdom - Guernsey (GCI)

Pre-booking is not necessary but recommended. Service: Airport services include a tourist desk, shops (including duty free), and a few restaurants. more...
Arrival: Frankfurt, Germany - Frankfurt Intl (FRA)
In Brief: Germany's busiest airport, Frankfurt International ranks third within Europe in terms of passenger traffic. Unlike some other of Europe's bigger airports, there is not a separate terminal for low-cost airlines. There are, in fact, not a huge number of budget airlines offering flights in and out of Frankfurt, but those that do are distributed across terminals. Air Berlin, Clickair, and Niki fly to Frankfurt International. Transportation: The best way between the airport and the Frankfurt main train station is by S-Bahn. A one-way journey costs just €3.55 and takes about 10 minutes.

Playing with fiscal fire
Federal statisticians issued unexpectedly bad news Wednesday, saying the economy contracted in the last three months of 2012 — the first downturn since the recovery began in mid-2009. The sour numbers weren't as bad as they seemed at first, yet they still sent a clear signal that the economy is too fragile to withstand a sudden shift to fiscal austerity. Unfortunately, Congress doesn't seem to be getting the message.

This is supposed to be more about the books. I haben't seen the film yet. I came aware of The book from a tweet by Deb who was exited about the trailer of the film. I devoured the books within a week and am stil surprised how deeply it touched me. It works on so many levels emotionally and intellectually and I am wondering why I did not read about it here first?
I just finished the first book and downloaded the next two to read. I'm planning on going to see the film tomorrow.Like Deb, I became interested in the books when I saw the film trailer. I had actually planned on seeing the movie last week, but I read a review of the film that made me decide I wanted to read the book first.
I actually saw the movie last week. It is very, very good. Especially the lead actress.
Seitherin, please post here when you are done with Catching Fire and Mockingjay.For me it was one of the few series where each book is even better then the one before.
I'll certainly post when I've finished the other two books. I'm waiting to start them until after I've seen the film.
*sits under a tree grabs latest book and waits patiently for Seitherin to watch film and read books*
I read the first book at my cousin's place, and the other two right in the bookshop, without buying them... I couldn't bring myself to care much about them. But I realized recently that I read books more for the huge magical forests, and less for the action and adventure, so that kind of explains it.
It's not the action and adventure that got me gripped so much as the poltical issues (end of book two and book three) and the questions of public / medial exposure of truly personal matters. I still have not finished mulling it over.
Just got back from seeing the film. Excellent adaptation although it does not go as deep into what's going on as the book does. This one is about the sins of the fathers being visited upon the children. Very powerful message, very well told.
I went into into the movie without reading the book first, so that I could enjoy the movie for what it was on its own. Whenever I read the book first (Harry Potter, Eragon, Twilight, Percy Jackson), there was always the sense of disappointment afterwards. Especially after the first Harry Potter movie (which is still my least favourite of the bunch) and Eragon. Liked Percy Jackson ok, although it strays away from the book quite a bit. I probably won`t have time to read HUNGER GAMES until sometime in late April, but the books are already lined up on my bookshelf!
I just started the book last night. I'm with Olaf, though, in that after reading books, movies always seem disappointing. I was just going to see the movie in a few weeks, but the Kindle version of the book was $5. And I caved. So I'm trying to go into the books as neutral as I can. Depends on how the first one ends if I'll buy the next two.
well for me it is the other way round. I agree that after reading the book most films are disappointing but I don't want my imagination be spoiled by whatever images a film provides. Sometimes I avoid films altogether for that reason. One time actually: I never watched Neverending Story, which was my fav childhood book.
Well, usually I make it a point to read the book that is the basis for the film before I see the movie, but this time around I decided to change that pattern and see what happens. When I read the book now, it will be a different reading experience, but not neccessarily a worse one.
I tend to judge books and movies on their own merits and not against each other since they have completely different storytelling requirements. And it doesn't matter if I read a book before or after I see a movie. The timing doesn't affect whether I like a movie more or less than a book. The only reason I decided to read the book before I went to the movie is because the review I read talked about things that happened in the book compared to how they happened in the movie and I decided I wanted to know all the bad things before I sat in a theatre and got surprised by them.Having said all that, I've started the second book. Still in the first chapter, but started.
Stayed up till nearly 3 this morning to finish Catching Fire and start Mockingjay. As I said in the reading thread, "Wow."
Finished the 1st and 2nd books, on the 3rd right now. I have another hunch now, we'll see how that one turns out.I really like the 1st book and how it ended. I didn't feel absolutely compelled to go buy the 2nd one, there wasn't a "cliffhanger" feeling to it. The 2nd book was really good too, although I really wanted to yell at Katniss quite a bit. The 3rd book is pretty good so far. I don't want to say too much, but I just got to the part where they found [important charcter] and [important character] was not so nice anymore, and I realllllllyyyyyy want to know where that goes, I wish I could've stayed home to read! ... Will give a more coherent opinion when I've finished the trilogy and how I feel about them as a whole.
Just finished Mockingjay. One of the best trilogies I've read in a long time. Powerful commentary on war, direct as well as indirect effects.

Finished the trilogy last night. Very good trilogy. To me, it really emphasized the point that there are two sides to every story / war / conflict (the Districts vs. the Capitol) and trading one extreme for the other isn't any better. And also that it's really, really, REALLY hard to get the truth. That's the position so many people are stuck in, you hear bits and pieces from all over and there's so much conflicting information, how do you know what's real?I think my favorite characters were Haymitch, Cinna, and Prim. Haymitch because he is SO much smarter then you expect (he's presented as a drunk, so there's not too much to expect) and him & Katniss just seem to get each other. Cinna because he was just so nice and comforting, and in book 2 the dress he designs really showed what kind of person he was. Prim because she really grows as a person in book 3, being someone Katniss can talk to about her life and troubles.If there had been no more than book 1, I would've been ok with that. There's a few bits in there to keep you wondering "Well what's that mean, and how is Katniss' life going to be" but it's plenty good on it's own. Some stories do that, and that's ok! I like being able to think after I finish a book. Book 2 really started to show the different dimensions to life in Panem, Districts vs. Capitol, and even life within the various Districts themselves. How different the people all were, but how similar some of them were, too. Book 3 was the biggest struggle of them all.. In each book, Katniss is presented with a situation, and she has to decide what "side" she is on. Some of the biggest and toughest decisions emerge in Book 3, and even towards the end, I wouldn't say she has definitively picked a side, but rather expressed what I feel most people would: If your leader is in the extreme, it's not good for the majority of the people.

Why Cycle to Work and Where?
Madrid, surrounded by lush rolling hills and wide open spaces is, in terms of its traffic, a polar opposite. Although we are graced with a more than efficient metro system, it's that very efficiency that keeps trains packed to capacity during rush hour. Our office, located relatively near to the heart of Madrid, allows our bikers to travel quickly and comfortably. Not to mention our new in-office shower, which is helpful for both our sake and for that of our co-workers.

Jeff Duncan (R nominee, SC-03) supporters cover district with letters to editor
Hey guys,
Over the last few weeks, individuals from all across the district have been writing positive letters supporting my campaign to be your next Congressman. Below are just a few highlights from the letters published in local newspapers. To read the full letters please visit my website here.
"As a businessman, Jeff has learned to meet a payroll and balance a budget. He understands that there is no free lunch and that America must learn to pay her bills. Jeff has a solid conservative voting record, as evidenced by his endorsement by the Club for Growth. In short, we need Jeff Duncan in Washington."
Bob A.
Tamassee"Let's elect fiscal conservatives who will break the stranglehold and get people working. We can start by electing business owner and state representative Jeff Duncan, named a "taxpayer hero" every year since 2002, to theU.S. Congress."
Roy B.
Anderson"During my 28 years in public service, I met a variety of officials, from presidents to water commissioners. Jeff is as impressive as anyone I had the pleasure to meet. He will bring a work ethic, a moral compass and real-life experience to a job that needs all of these qualities. I cannot wait to cast my ballot for Jeff on Nov. 2."

Oplev composes shots with grace and an understanding of where everything is geographically and how scenes relate to each other in the multi-threaded plot. Like everything else in Dead Man Down, his direction is beautiful and brutal at the same time. Whoever thought that this movie would be as entertaining as it is existential is either lying or psychic.

Lumpy title, lively movie. Dead Man Down proves to be a frisky gangster flick cum elaborate thriller cum off-beat romance. Yep, there's a whole lot going on here, but this is one of those plot-heavy scripts that carries its weight with confidence – the intricate twists don't cheat.

How Do You Make Your Comics?
Posted Jan 23 2012 - 06:00 PM
I use a strange and confusing combination of MS paint (For recolouring sprites), MS powerpoint (arranging sprites on a background) and GIMP (stringing together the GIF).
Posted Jan 23 2012 - 07:58 PM
I believe you're mistaken.I used to do comics back in 2008. I used Paint for them. It's hard to post comics on here since you can't post every time you have a new comic up and you have to rely on others to make posts to keep it alive.
From the Comics Forum Rules And Guidelines:
Do not double-post if you have no new material. Double posting serves no purpose but bumping the topic and counts as spam. However, you may double post if you are announcing a major update such as a new comic, or a significant preview. This is the only exception!
Anyways. For the comic I'm currently doing, I do a couple rough drafts with characters, environments, dialogue and panel layout on a half piece of paper. Once I'm happy with it, I take a full piece of paper and outline all the frames and trace them in where I want them, then trace rough skeletons of the characters and objects, flesh them out, then erase and redraw everything to clean up. I then scan it, write the dialogue separately and splice it in, increase light and and contrast, edit out unwanted specks, add a disclaimer, and upload it. (Everything outside of the computer is done with a pencil and an eraser.)
As far as story, I generally try to have an overarching continuity for the entire series, have separate arcs for each chapter, and sub-stories within the individual pages. It's never worked the way I wanted it to though, so mostly I just make it up as I go.

In the few comics I have made, however, I preferred using a combination of MS Paint and Gimp to create my desired effects, text, sprite placement, and whatnot. It's something I hope I have the time to pick back up one day.

Personally, I have tried to use GIMP and Paint.NET, but in both cases, there is no obvious transparent selection feature, like there is in MS Paint.

From my experience and what I've seen in other comics, using a combination of MS Paint and GIMP can result in great-looking comics. Use MS Paint for simple things like recoloring sprites, and use GIMP for special effects.

Anyway, I've been looking over the entries to the Comics Contest, and I'm surprised at the small number of sprite-based comics. If you make both sprite-based and hand-drawn/vectored/modeled/etc. comics, why do you choose one over the other, if you do?

Nowadays, I don't feel like downloading GIMP and Photoshop confuses me, so I use Paint for everything- sprites, backgrounds, special effects, the whole song and dance. For some comic series I really try to go all-out with the graphics, but for the one I'm working on now I put very little effort into graphics and more into the dialogue and "story". I sort of find that the higher the graphical quality I use, the more difficult it is to apply more special effects, which is why I've had one comic series in production for years but haven't really released it at this point.
As far as story goes, I always seem to keep a humorous tone in things, since I don't think I'm too great at writing more serious works. For SpoofQuest!, I've always wanted to avoid having a direct storyline and mention previous comics, but I think I'm kind of failing at that. I don't think I really have a straight story to plot out for the series, so usually whatever idea comes into my head first will generally be the next comic to be released.

Behold, Toa Ka'tru! Sprite made by Strack. Click picture to go to his sprite shop. Avatar by CeeCee.
It was then that everything fit together in my head. The two clawed beast. The Two Claws. The dual-claw marks. That all was easy. Then I realized something harder to grasp - because the beast was inter-phasal, it could also travel through time, to an extent. The Two Claws wasn't fiction, it was true. There was someone else like me, in the past. I continued blinking rapidly and turned back to the beast.
"What do you want?" I demanded.
The beast stood up a bit straighter and looked directly at me. A terrifying voice came from it as it answered.
"You and the girl. Both. You are abnormalities and must be dealt with."

I've used Paintbrush before. Great program.For comics, I use a program called Paintbrush (Since I use my Macbook), to normally hold my spritesheets/spritekits/the likes. Although for comics I actually use gimp. To quote someone who posted earlier, "with my mad
photoshoopGimp skillz". If the comics involve hand drawn things then I normally hold them in gimp and use that as sprite sheets like my comical retreat comics. It really depends on the style I'm working with. But for the graphics and actual comics, I use gimp... Like a boss (I have photoshop but I suck at it.)
Yeah, I make custom Chimoru poses as they're needed.A variety of sprite kits, with MSPaint. For spritesheets, I don't bother unless there's a premade one I can just recolor. I instead make poses as I go along, as I need them, and record any pose I make in the spritesheet for re-use. I simply copy paste into the panel, edit in some tweaks such as a head partially buried in the ground, effects, etc, then add text on top. (The only downside to this is the text occasionally requires tilting of your screen to read when it gets inside the characters.)
I've discovered that if you only have one character talking in each frame, it's a lot less cluttered, and it's easier to understand the order in which they're talking.

Press Release: Dietary diversity the best approach to diet-related diseases
A new food-based approach to hunger and malnutrition is needed to cope with the epidemic of diet-related diseases around the world, warned Dr Emile Frison, Director General of Bioversity International, speaking at the Crawford Fund's 2010 international conference. The conference "Biodiversity and World Food Security: Nourishing the Planet and its People," is being held in Canberra today and tomorrow.
"Many studies have now shown clearly that a more diverse diet is associated with longer life and lower incidence of specific diseases such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes" Frison said.
Indeed when the World Health Organization (WHO) and others first started to discuss micronutrient deficiencies, they favoured a food-systems approach based on dietary diversity. Over time, however, the medical establishment "captured" the problem with a simplistic solution to over-simplified diets.
"We must return to a food-based approach to malnutrition" Frison urged. "Not only is it more sustainable, it also has many other benefits, such as treating multiple deficiencies, protecting the environment, improving incomes and promoting the welfare of whole communities."
The full press release is available here:

The walls of the Yadkin County Public Library are adorned with artwork created by high school students across the county. The 2012 High School Art Exhibit and Contest held its reception on May 10.
The contest featured 12 categories. Students were allowed to enter one piece per category. Students from Forbush and Starmount High schools participated as well as students from Yadkin Early College and Yadkin Success Academy.
"It's always great to see the art displayed in a public place," said Leslie Davis, art teacher for Forbush High School. "It's a wonderful opportunity for the community to see what the students have done from all of the high schools across the county."
Students were invited to attend the reception with their family and friends to talk to community members about what they learned and what inspired their pieces.
Starmount High School senior Caroline Kraft won two first place ribbons under the categories of fibers and photography.
Her fibers piece was a handbag created from plastic grocery bags.
"The plastic bag I did was part of a project that we did to teach us about recycling and using green materials," Kraft said. "It is made out of grocery bags crocheted together. This was the first time I did it but I liked it."
Kraft also entered a picture in the photography category and swept first place once more.
"The photograph I did was just a hobby I like to do," Kraft said. "I like to take photographs at interesting angles and edit them. I took the picture in Rockford, NC at an old general store with a regular Kodak camera, nothing fancy."
Kraft plans to continue to use art in her future when she heads to UNC Charlotte in the fall. She plans to attend architecture school.
Kallie Ford, another Starmount senior, also had two pieces featured in the contest. Her mixed media entry earned her first place.
"I just really like surrealism and I thought that maybe eyelashes would be cool as trees," Ford said. "I was surprised this one won first because I actually thought the other one would win because everyone really liked it."
Ford also plans to attend UNC Charlotte in the fall and would like to major in landscape architecture.
The art teachers in attendance were also able to see what's being done at other schools and use it to enhance their own art programs.
"I've loved seeing the things that other students have done from the other schools," Davis said. "I would like to expand the art program at Forbush High School so that our students could also try those things. It's always cool to see what other artists are doing and building upon those things."
The student's work will be on display at Yadkin County Public Library until May 29. Visitors can see the work during the library's normal business hours Monday and Thursday from 8:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. and Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Book review: The Attention Economy
Mikko Arevuo reviews The Attention Economy: Understanding the New Currency of Business by Thomas H. Davenport and John C. Beck.
TITLE: The Attention Economy: Understanding the New Currency of Business
AUTHORS: Thomas H. Davenport & John C. Beck
PUBLISHER: Harvard Business School Press, 2001
Tom Davenport and John Beck of Accenture Consulting have written an interesting book on the new currency of attention. We all need to compete for the attention of others to get our point across, and as such the attention of your information recipient is worth its weight in gold.
The Attention Economy is fairly US centric in its outlook, as the examples used emanate from the authors own work in the States. Nevertheless, the principles the authors refer to are universal. Davenport and Beck refer to the trillions of documents that circulate in US offices annually and to the fact that internet traffic doubles every one hundred days. They further state that approximately two hundred messages hit managers desktop on a daily basis. Against the background of this amount of information traffic, they welcome us to the attention economy and the problems related to it.
Attention, the means of dealing with todays level of information traffic, is the new currency, the authors maintain. To capture ones attention and hold it has become a major task for any communicator, who must compete against others who also seek the attention of information-flooded employees, consumers and other stakeholders.
Davenport and Beck outline four perspectives on attention management that they feel are critical to understanding attention managements impact on business:
- Measuring and allocating attention;
- Understanding and leveraging its psychological dimensions;
- Mastering new streamlining technologies;
- Adapting lessons from traditional attention industries such as advertising.
The authors seek to cast light on business areas such as e-commerce, organisational leadership, information management and strategy.
It has taken me a long time to review this book, as many of the concepts it contained were fairly alien to me. I was fortunate to be born in the city of Tampere, Finland, twenty kilometres from the town of Nokia, the namesake of the world-leading manufacturer of mobile telephones. In fact, most of Nokias telephone R&D takes place at the University of Technology at Tampere. Allow me to give you an example to illustrate a point about communications culture that did not exist prior to the invention of the mobile telephone.
The example is a follows: two men decide to go out for a beer. One goes to his local pub, the other one to his own local. They talk on their mobiles, and both have a great time. In the morning they tell their friends what a wonderful conversation they had the night before.
This, of course, is an oversimplification about how technology enables communication, but there is some truth in it. Americans are great communicators, as are the Spanish, Italians and the French. Northern Europeans are rather introverted, and communication does not come easy to many of us. In fact, e-mail and mobile telephones have been a liberating, communication-enabling technology for us. It is well known fact that we all have communications preferences and biases based on our socio-cultural bases. Hofstede write extensively on this topic, yet no reference is made to his pioneering cross-cultural studies in this book, which is a shame.
Having said that, the book has some good examples of people who have to deal with the new currency of attention. It also makes suggestions about how to structure ones own communication to compete for the attention of your would-be audience.
Davenport is an esteemed business scholar and thinker. His book, Working Knowledge, co-authored with Larry Prusak, is one of the seminal books on knowledge management, along with the work of the likes of Tom Stewart and Nonaka/Takeuchi. I must confess to not knowing a great deal about Beck, but he is a senior research fellow at the Accenture Institute for Change and a visiting professor at the Anderson School of Management at UCLA.
The book is easy read and caters for the professional practitioner market. I was surprised that I did not find it at Heathrow airport recently, as it has all the qualities of becoming a paperback bestseller. The book would more than pass the time during your next transatlantic flight.
In terms of the academic readership, I will probably recommend the book as additional reading for my MBA knowledge-management unit. However, it is decidedly light on theory.
The book is certainly provocative. The attention economy is real, at least for some of us, and the book goes to great lengths to propose models with which we can deal with the associated problems. While there will no doubt be more to come on this subject, The Attention Economy is a good start.

Comments about ProForm 510E Elliptical:
Had problems the first 10 minutes of use, started cluncking. Called customer service to get it repaired. Customer service is hard to get hold of. You will spend hours and days trying to get someone. Anyway got the repair guy out and he had to order parts. Took 3 weeks to just get the notification that parts were ordered. Now I cannot get them to call me back to schedule the repair. Took me a week to get hold of a rep again and she said she put a request in for the repair guy to call me. That was over a week ago and I still cannot get hold of customer service to try again. So 4 months later still cannot use it and still waiting.

Defective Right out of the Box
By Monks
from Fredericksburg, VA
About Me Avid Athlete
I bought this elliptical with reasonable expectations, yet upon pulling the machine from the box, there already was an obvious defect. The right roller arm did not line up on the track and would not without making great efforts to make it do so. After a week of frustration and disappointment, I am returning the machine. Story continued: I called customer care several times and tried to find a solution. With some heavy negotiation, I had worked a deal to have the replacement part, a "crank arm," sent to me as soon as possible. This was promised to be shipped "Blue Label" which is 2-3 days shipping including processing. After 4 days, it showed up to my door via UPS (with a pink label, if that matters). I called the technician (who was very accommodating) and scheduled an appointment, eight days after my purchase. After he took the the disc, disc ring, and the crank arm off, he noticed that the replacement crank arm that was shipped to me was the wrong part. The diameter of the hole that meets on the shaft was too small. I am very dissatisfied with my experience and with the lack of professionalism during this entire process.

EXCLUSIVE: Family Speaks After Son's Death
By: Aaron Cheslock
Updated: November 24, 2012
8 days ago, 3-year old Darrel Etchison Jr was killed in a fire at his home in Altoona.
His mother and sister barely escaped the flames.
Police charged Aaron Dishong for setting that fire. They say he was trying to kill an ex-girlfriend and that he thought was staying there.
Darrel's mother Brandy Etchison was just released from the hospital.
Among others, Dishong faces homicide, arson, and assault charges. Police say they have phone recordings of him incriminating himself as the arsonist. Now, the Etchison's are back in Altoona, and trying to pick up the pieces. Without a home, and without a son.
Brandy Etchison is still trying to come to grips with why Aaron Dishong allegedly set fire to their house with her kids inside. Police say Dishong was stalking his ex-girlfriend, who stayed with the Etchison's off and on over the past few weeks. This woman told Etchison - Dishong claims he did torch another ex's house.
"...She said he tried to burn his ex-girlfriends house down before, he succeeded, just didn't get caught."
Etchison says Dishong's had been threatening his ex-girlfriend at their house.
"...one time my husband found a note on our door, she said that he was stalking her, I was in the car a couple times, but I couldn't prove that he was stalking her, you know."
Darrel Etchison Sr says life in prison isn't enough for Dishong.
"...Make sure this animal gets the death penalty, nothing short."
But Darrel Sr knows no punishment can change what's done.
"...None of that's going to bring my boy back."
The fire killed 3-year-old Darrel Jr. Brandy, just released from the hospital, had to jump out of a window; she saved her 2-year-old daughter Madison, but couldn't save DJ. She says he froze in the moment.
"I looked out the window, I had my daughter hanging by her hand, and I was trying to get my son, to come with me but he wouldn't move..."
Madison was released from the hospital last week but is still traumatized.
Joanne Helsel, a family friend, had the Etchison's over for Thanksgiving and worries about Madison too.
"What two year old would understand that?... I think she's going to still look for her brother to play with and. They were best friends. They were always playing together. It's just horrible what happened."
The Etchison's are living both with Helsel and out of a hotel room. In part 3, we'll talk with the Etchison's about what happens next without a home? Where will they live? And why it took 15 years for Brandy to have DJ, who she calls her miracle child.

The Caribbean, famous for sun, rum, and pirates, is emerging as a new trend. The islands in the south Atlantic have inspired an entire lifestyle, from island themed shirts, calypso music, and now food. Caribbean fare is a wonderful blend of European, South American, and African. The typical ingredients consist of rice, plantains, beans, coconut, ox, beef, and fish. The thought of Caribbean food can be a little unnerving, but it's simply a different take on some staples that are available in many cultures. Check out some amazing Caribbean food around the city!
