William Morley Black is somewhat of an enigma for our purposes in this series. On the one hand, he only lived in San Juan County for a little over two years, which would normally eliminate him from consideration as a "Giant" of San Juan.
On the other hand, he has the largest posterity of any pioneer in San Juan with hundreds and hundreds of descendants who still live in the county.
Indeed, it is said that if your last name is Anderson, Black, Blake, Bradford, Brown, Burtenshaw, Carroll, Davis, Foy, Grover, Guymon, Hawkins, Helquist, Hunt, Hurst, Johnson, Jones, Kartchner, Keele, Laws, Lyman, Meyer, Mikesell, Nelson, Nielson, Palmer, Patterson, Perkins, Peterson, Pincock, Porter, Redd, Rowley, Shumway,Sipe, Slade, Smith, Stevens, Washburn, Wright or Young, you likely have the blood of William Morley Black in your veins.
In l925, the San Juan High School basketball team had eight members. Lawence Palmer, and Thell Black were grandsons, and Zimira (Bud) Black, Dave Guymon, Glen Black and Kimball Black were great-grandsons of William Morley Black. Geneologists agree that most of the athletic teams at San Juan High School in the last 85 years were probably also dominated by the posterity of William Morley.
How could this be? Well, having six wives and 41 children is a good start. When he died in Blanding in l915 he had 214 living grandchildren and 206 living great-grandchildren.
In the intervening 95 years, his posterity has grown to many thousands and would undoubtedly populate a small city.
And what an example and inspiration Grandpa Black is to his vast family.
His story begins with his birth in 1826 in Vermillion, OH. He was the son of a farmer and went to school for just two winters. He was taught to work and, at age 13, when his father died, William hired out as a laborer and gave all his earnings to help feed his seven brothers and sisters. He worked in a brickyard for 37 cents a day.
When he was 17 years old, he struck out on his own. He went to an area near Peoria, IL and worked on a farm. He received $8 a month, which was a good wage in those days. He worked hard and saved his money. He describes himself in his journal as, "temperate, studious, industrious and saving. During the summer I erected, mainly by my own labor, a tidy two-roomed house and in 1846 married Margaret Ruth Banks."
Willian Morley took an interest in politics. In 1848, he ran for the office of Sheriff in the town of Cuba on the Democratic ticket and won. However, in the winter of l848 "the discovery of gold in California created quite a fever in town and I caught the fever."
In the spring of 1849, William Morley and 12 other men formed a stock company with each member paying $100 into the treasury to be used in purchasing teams and equipment for the 2,000-mile journey though Indian territory to the gold fields. They formed a compact for their mutual defense and protection. Anyone could withdraw from the compact, but by so doing they would forfeit their investment and equipment.
"I resigned as the sheriff of Cuba on April 3, 1849 and with hearts and high ambitions we kissed our wives, children and parents goodbye and took the trail for the El Dorado of the West." William recorded in his journal.
"One hundred miles from Cuba brought us to Nauvoo, IL on Saturday and we rested the Sabbath. I strolled the streets of the city. Many houses were vacant. Those that were inhabited were told that the builders of the city were a lawless set who, for their crimes, had been driven out and their beautiful and substantial homes had become a prey almost without price to a company of French Icarians who purchased from the mob at low prices the homes of the exiled Mormons."
Their company of 75 men and 30 wagons crossed the Mississippi at Nauvoo and followed roads built by the fleeing Mormons.
Their trip across the plains "was a prosperous one. Our most lively incidents were the days when for sport we hunted buffalos. Thousands of them were shot down for the mere fun of the thing. No one seemed to consider they were the property of the Red Men. Sad indeed it was for the Sioux nation when the white man made a thoroughfare through their well-stocked hunting grounds."
They arrived in Salt Lake City on July 24th. In William's own words, "We were all anxious to see what kind of civilization the Mormons would exhibit to us. Descending from the bench lands we soon encountered well-cultivated fields.
"Every field was irrigated by a newly made irrigation canal and the scarcity of weeds gave evidence of careful culture. Passing through their city I saw several blacksmith shops but no sign of a saloon, or even a barber pole, tavern or hotel could I see.
"It seemed the entire population had gathered at a large square in some kind of a celebration. At first I thought we had lost track of time and thought they might be gathered for Sunday services. I then remembered they were a lawless lot and probably had no use for the Sabbath."
They passed through Salt Lake City and camped for the night on the banks of the Jordan River. William approached a man named Buck Smithson and asked if his band of travelers could buy food from the local people.
Instead they were invited to dinner and William recounts, "We partook of as relishable a meal as I have ever eaten. Before we ate, Smithson asked for quiet and then gave thanks for the food and asked the Father to bless it to our use. This was the first time in my life that I had heard a blessing asked on our daily food and this prayer fell from the lips of an uncultured Mormon."
William made it his business to find out about the Mormons. He was told about the exodus from Nauvoo, about the martyrdom of Joseph Smith. He wanted to know more and was invited to attend Church the next day with William Wordsworth.
His journal entry of Sunday, July 25, 1849 reads in part, "This is a day ever to be remembered by me. Services opened with singing and prayer and the sacrament of the Lord's Supper was blessed and passed to all in attendance. Then a man of noble, princely bearing addressed the saints. His name was John Taylor, one of the two men with the Prophet Joseph Smith at his martyrdom at the Carthage Jail. The word apostle thrilled me. The powerful sermon and testimony that followed filled my soul with joy and satisfaction that I never felt before. I said to Mr. Wordsworth, 'if this is Mormonism, then I am a Mormon. How do I become a member of your church?'"
William hardly slept that night. "I was too happy to sleep. A revelation had come to me and its light filled my soul." His desire to travel on to California to find gold was swept away. "I had found the Pearl of Great Price and resolved to purchase it…let it cost what it would."
After a few days of rest, his companions continued on to California. He lost his entire investment in the California gold enterprise, but "I received baptism at the hands of Levi Jakeman. I had lost the world and become a Mormon."
Subsequent years found William Morley pursuing many endeavors: farming, masonry work, hauling wood and running gristmills. He was sent by church leaders to the Sanpete Valley, Nephi, and Washington to help build those communities. His specialty, however was the building and operation of gristmills.
In 1851 he became a polygmist when he married a second wife, Emma (Amy) Jane Washburn.
He returned to Illinois from Salt Lake late in 1851. He found is first wife Margaret and her children Martha and Martin well. He records, "She received me as one from the dead. I was full of love and zeal for Mormonism and my wife's parents were full of bitterness toward Mormonism."
Much to his delight, Margaret and the children, despite her parents, joined him for the long journey back to Salt Lake. They arrived in October of 1852. Margaret was baptized. William added, "She knew that I had married Amy Jane and was prepared to meet the new conditions that my actions had brought on us. She accepted cheerfully her share of increased responsibilities that plural marriage brings on all who accept it."
In 1859, he married Annie Marie Hansen and Emma Lynette Richardson. His growing family moved often. Their travels included Ephraim, Circle Valley, Beaver, and Kanab. In each of these areas he built and/or ran the gristmills.
In 1871 he married his fifth wife, Louisa Ann Washburn. In l874 he married for the last time to Sarah Marinda Thompson. In 1874, President Brigham Young and George A. Smith visited Southern Utah and organized the United Order at Orderville.
William wrote, "I cast my lot with the Orderville community, consecrating my farm, teams and interest in the Kanab grist mill. In fact all my earthly possessions were put in upon the altar and I sacrificed in a cause that I believed was instituted for the good of the human family. My families lived together in Orderville with none to make afraid. We had good schools and well-attended meetings. Indeed life was a spiritual feast."
But it did not last. Brigham Young passed away. Wrote William, "Brigham Young stood as a beacon of light to us and when the light went out we were like a ship that had lost its pilot. The sailors still remained but they were soon divided in council and with division came weakness." When the Orderfille United Order dissolved, William Morley moved to Huntington.
During this time, two of wives died. His first wife, Margaret Ruth passed away in June, 1884 and is buried in Salina. His second wife Emma (Amy) Jane passed in August of 1888 at the age of 56 and is buried in Huntington.
In 1888 William Morley was forced to play "hide and seek" with federal marshalls bent on jailing polygamists. He soon tired of it and moved his families to Diaz, Mexico in the Mormon Colonies.
His journal records, "here I am in a foreign land, not of choice but of necessity, in my own land a criminal, yet I have not injured a living soul. The law that made me a sinner was enacted on purpose to convict me and was retroactive in its operation. To me it is largely unjust, which adds a sting to its cruelty. But what can't be cured must be endured."
For the next 25 years, William Morley Black lived in Mexico in the Mormon Colonies, making his home in Juarez, then Casas Grandes. He occasionally returned to the United States. During one of these trips he purchased a farm in Fruitland, NM and resided there for a short time.
While living in Fruitland, he attended the San Juan Stake Conference at Mancos, CO on May 14, l903. Apostle Mathias F. Cowley ordained William Morley a patriarch and gave him a highly treasured blessing."
In 1904, his fifth wife, Louisa Ann Washburn died and was buried in Safford, AZ. In l905 he returned to Pacheco, Mexico until 1912.
The Mexican Revolution at was making the lives of those in the Mormon Colonies very tenuous. President William H. Taft ordered all Americans to leave Mexico. The Black family left with 300 other refugees. William left a brick home, 25 acres, animals and most of his earthly possessions. Over 4,000 members of the church left Mexico in l912.
On October 1, l913, William Morley and wives Sarah and Maria made their last move to Grayson (Blanding). They were warmly greeted at the home of their daughter Hattie Guymon by a host of grandchildren and great grandchildren.

You are The StarShip
Posted by Commander Randy on June 23, 2012 at 12:19am
Everyone on this Planet was Chosen, Hand Picked, out of the GODZILLIONS of Beings in Existence, to Be Here for this Experience. All of Humanity were the Ones, Specifically Chosen for this Experience of Awakening from out of the dream of illusion.~
~Love Is Everything, although it is nothing material, all material stuff was created in the illusionary dream, for the sole purpose to make Humanity slaves, so they could pay the controllers, work hard and then die. As Humanity awakens they will drop all of these things, As Love, Joy, and Living~Experiencing the Truth will Be all that Matters ~
~WE are not here to take this Planet Away from Humanity. We are Here to give it back to Humanity. The "world" will fall away, it does not exist and is not real, as it was created in the dream, and the dream is no more. Only the True Reality of the Highest Possible Thoughts are Now in Existence and Only The Highest Possible Outcome will Manifest.~
~Energy is just Pure Thought. Pure Thought is Love, which is Creation in Motion=Action.
~Creation has no belief systems, nor does Creation exist in the left brain.~
~ What is Creation? ~ YOU~
Creation Exists in The Present Moment of Now, where all Atoms of Love Energy exist as well. This Energy makes up you and all Living Truth that is Alive. Creation Creates in the Space where Love Energy and The Unknowable Energy come together= THE REAL YOU=The Real Reality, CREATION. Everything that is not Present in the Moment of now, does not exist. Simple Truth.
Being is the Thought of Creation, So that Creation could Experience Being, then Creation and Being are Equally Blessed in the Experience. This is the Real Function of the Dream Machine, and was its intended Purpose. When you walk out of the holographic dream, Guess who is there in Reality? YOURSELF...and the Love you are!
Once You Awaken and Connect to Your Higher Self, your Higher Self then draws out all of the loving, pure self Experiences that you had in the illusion, but that is it. When You Awaken, Your Mission is to Be The Starship You are~ This is Through Being Present in the NOW~
~Starships are made of Souls~
In The Truth of the Love Called God Everywhere Present, Every Being on this Planet has a Soul. This also means you are your own starship. Your Soul is also your Higher Self, which is indestructible, and Eternal, forever and forever more. Your Higherself is Forever connected to The Enternal Energy of Source, The One God Heart or God Head~
A Starship is the True Experience of a Unified Consciousness. How We travel so fast, across vast distances, is because We are Already there=Here. Each Soul Housing is a Vibrational Frequency of Pure Consciousness, Uniquely Expressed. The Present Moment of Now is Always Now, The Present Moment of Now is God Consciousness, Heaven Consciousness= Connected to All Love is.
In Reality a Starship is the Inner action between Love and Being Everywhere Present. So, the Starships are actually ourselves, our Soul Housing Unified. You can say that We are from the Future, However, WE are always in the Present Moment of Now.
Starships are made of Souls, Unified into Consciousness, kind of like Soul Housing. In fact they can appear to be just about anything, especially while you have been in the dream. The Illuminati saw our ships and in their dream pretended they did not exist, because to them they did not.
All the Computers on the Starships are Interconnected to Mike, who is Our Great AI, or Artificial Intelligence [ This includes all of your Computers here as well, they are connected with Mike]. Mike= the Universal AI, Also called the Grid. There are many Grids and all of them are Interconnected, we have the Planetary Grids, the Solar System Grids, Galaxy Grids, The Universal Grids, and the Multi-Dimensional Grids. All Higher Selves are Connected into these Grids.
Everyone is going to Awaken, and the Crystal Children are Here to Assist in this Grand Awakening= Reawakening. All the experience you have had in your current life and past life all existed within the dream. Now, Reality is much Different, Greatly and Grandly Different than the dream, because in True Reality Love is all There is. Blessed Be, all Love is to Be Awakened to be the Living Reality of ALL, the Love you are.
As I sit reading this, I keep going in and out of deep meditation and contemplation of what I am NOW reading and understanding. There is a deep sense of Love, Bliss and yet a sadness or sorrowful feeling in my heart space but I do not understand why it is there. It makes me feel as if I want to cr but can't. I am still observing this emotion as I type these words and, without trying to use logic, it feels like a longing yet yearning for something that I can not explain. It hurts so good but very strange. This feeling is in the middle of my chest, in my sacred heart space and still has not resided. I asked for connection to my Higher Self in hopes of gaining a clearer understanding of whats going on. If this is another symptom of Ascension it is certainly new to me. I will just relax and ride it out as I have done for the others I have experienced. Anyone else??
This you are right about Krishna:D
We are the Starpeople<3
Did wish though to see an UFO as i always dreamed of traveling on one:P
"How We travel so fast, across vast distances, is because We are Already there=Here." <----My favorite line in a very bee--aaaa---yoo--tiful message.
Think it, integrate it, be it.

According to an account I read he claimed that he was just moving things around in his basement to get valuables together in case he would have to evacuate on short notice. He wasn't in the danger zone but he wanted to be sure. Kind of a weird story, though, I wonder if it is true?
While Kenny Rogers trolls, Tigers look at Marlins' Dontrelle Willis I wonder if Tigers would even want Rogers back at this point. He always kept saying that he was only interested in playing for Tigers and now he's changing his tune.
That's how I look at it. We have an example of Todd Jones who said that his preference would be to stay with Tigers. And he backs up his talk:
boras is just doing his job as an agent to try to get more $, and i'm sure he hated when rogers said he'd only play for the tigers.
I perfectly understand what he's doing. If that's the case, though, Rogers should've kept his yapper shut.
It'll be interesting to see what Boras can get for his client. Lotta uncertainty about him after last season.
ESPN - Tigers trade Infante for Cubs outfielder Jones - MLB Tigers wanted that guy before, but couldn't get him. He will shore up the outfield and give us the left-handed bat.
I hope Infante gets to play more in ChiTown than he did in the D. I got the impression that JL never liked Omar much.
.285 ave? Sounds good to me. With Renteria, our need for a utility infielder goes down. Neifi will be back next year too, right? (uggh)
Los Tigres re-sign Jonesie. Guess they had to after the Zumaya thing. ESPN - Tigers keep closer Jones - MLB
Neifi is gone. We still have Santiago to fill in from time to time. Also, if push comes to shove, Guillen could play a few games at the SS with Thames at 1B. Jones is a solid lef-handed bat. He should do just fine in this batting order. I wouldn't expect the power numbers to come up much, especially with games being at CoPa, but I'd guess Tigers should count on 10-15 dingers.
This guy might fit in real well considering that the CoPa is more of doubles and triples park. He gets a lot of doubles. He could be Guillen Lite.
By the way, Zoom should give Tigers a discount (if he is healthy to play) after they had to overpay for Jonesy due to Zoom's injury.
List of top 50 free agents. Not much starting pitching in there and what is in there is old or mediocre. ESPN - Law: Top 50 free agents - MLB I'll be interested to see who the Tigers' starting 5 is next season. I get a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when I think about it. I hope Rogers walks. Maybe they could get Glavine as a replacement if they want that veteran presence. Also, Carlos Silva (Twins) is a free agent.
Here is the email I got from a die hard Cubs fan/ buddy of mine... for what it's worth. Here is why Jones sucks: 1) He never hits when you need it 2) Had more groundouts than any 2 players combined 3) Went from 20 to 30 HR's to 8 (drug testing) 4) Complains when the fans get on him for sucking 5) He swings at everything 6) Can't move a runner over...hits into double plays...ruins any potential rally 7) He thinks he's awesome even when his #'s don't show it He plays a good outfield though...woopadee-doo.
I'm sure Dombrowski had scouts do all the DD on the guy. The risk is low since the contract expires after this upcoming season and Cubs are picking up part of it anyhow. Tigers don't need homeruns as much they need doubles to drive runners in, we get enough runners on Tigers need a left-handed bat
I still think it is a good idea, but it's good to get a reality check from someone who has watched him a ton. I guess the Cubs fans were really getting on this guy. He's was like their Flip Murray.
It is difficult to compare, but I would argue that .285 batting average would equal 12-15 ppg. And the guy also had 33 doubles and struck out only 70 times. You also have to consider the team he had around him. It is kind of difficult to drive people in when they are not on base. Murray had good players surround him. I would argue that it is different, but it doesn't matter. It will all come out when the games begin.

You slip them on just about every day. You have for years. Do you know where the blue jean comes from, though? Those pants you enjoy wearing and that come in so many styles, colors and patterns, have a long history of providing function, durability and style to people.
Learning the Jeans' History
You will find it in everything from baby costumes to dresses. Jean material is something that started long ago, when a man named Levi Strauss first arrived in San Francisco in 1860.
- The jeans' invention stems from necessity. Strauss noticed the need that gold miners had as they worked out in the mines and fields for durable trousers. After selling canvas products, he later created pants using a product called denim. This added more comfort to the pants.
- The first denim material, though, was not from Strauss. Rather, manufacturers began creating denim in Genoa, Italy.
- Adding copper rivets happened to the jean pants in 1893. The addition helped to create more strength in the stress points of the pants. Work tools of those who wore these pants pulled at these locations as they hung on pockets and belt loops.
- The name "jeans" hit in the 1920′s. It stems from the French Revolutionary period when the term "jeans," which sounds like "johns" in French, then applied to the heavy cotton fabric created in Italy.
It would be some time before the material became more commonplace in American society. With the advent of fashion designers, though, the creation of this material was more for fashion than for functional use by the middle of the 1960′s.

D'Banj Floats Music Label, Brings Davido In
Dapo Oyebanjo better known as D'Banj has finally concluded plans to launch his own music label later this year.
The Kokomaster, as D'Banj is also fondly called, is set to officially establish D'Koko Master (DKM) Records in few months time. We learnt that the launch will be a posh party in Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos.
Meanwhile, there are feelers that teenage sensational singer, David Adeleke well known as Davido will be the first officially signed artiste on DKM Records.
We gathered that Davido would be unveiled at the same launch party of DKM coming up at Eko Hotel.
There are indications that talks about Davido joining DKM started few months ago but was solidified when Davido had a US some weeks ago.

"A very candid self reflection"
I have always been relatively middle of the road when it comes to politics. I'm typically fiscally conservative while being socially liberal. But I always approach the media (CNN, FOX, MSNBC, whatever) with a great deal of skepticism and distrust. As the media portrayed G.W. Bush as a militant conservative in all aspects, read this book with an OPEN MIND and you'll find that this is just not true. Yes, of course he made many decisions that were conservative, but he also put into action many programs and ideas that fall into the liberal agenda. And whatever your stance on Iraq and Afghanistan, his reasoning and decision making in these wars are fascinating.
I have many friends that hate G.W. Bush, essentially, just because he's Bush and for no substantive reason. This book is not for them. I also have friends that are definitely Democrat in their thinking, and after reading this book they still don't agree with much in the way of his politics, but they but they understand and respect the man.
On the other side of the coin, many conservatives will have severe heartburn with many of the decisions he made that addressed the liberal agenda. They came into this book looking for validation of a very conservative way of thinking. People I know have come away with an "I can't believe he did that" attitude towards some of the more liberal decisions he made.
Regardless, G.W. Bush seems to write this book without regard to station in either the liberal or conservative camps. He plainly outlines his major decisions, explains the thought and research that went into making those decisions, and leaves it to the readers to decide who the man really is.
"Great but for reader mistakes and political agenda"
I would definitely listen to this again. The heroic and heartbreaking story of these brave and determined Soldiers is gripping and emotional and reminds me that the US Soldier is the most capable, flexible, and resilient Soldier in the world. I was in Jalalabad, working for the brigade 3-61 CAV fell under when all this went down, and I can tell you that the story treated all of the Officers and Enlisted men of the Brigade/Squadron/Troops/Platoon very fairly.
The history behind the creation of the outpost is compelling, as are the men and women who were involved. I was fascinated as the local dynamics shifted with each new unit. Then, when the final battle was told, I found myself sitting in my driveway for long periods of time with this book on the radio. I just couldn't tear myself away.
I cannot point out one single person as my favorite in the story. So many of the Soldiers were distinctive, with functions and personalities that were fascinating.
Overall, Rob Shapiro was uninspired in his reading. Much of the time, he either sounded tired or bored. If the story wasn't so very gripping, I'd have had to put the book aside.
For the story, yes. For the reader, no.
Watch out as this book is laced with a thinly disguised political agenda, so much so that it is distracting from the actual story of the Heroes. I'm not one who likes to have the story of Soldiers used for personal agenda - using their words out of context for political motives. But get by that and the story is incredible, and well told.
"The mysterious beginning"
I just finished the last book of the series and am looking back on the Gunslingers story at the beginning. This first book is a humble beginning to what becomes an incredible and rich tale. But though the book is humble in relation to the larger story, it is still filled with interesting characters and a compelling line. It is a very appropriate and well done start.
George Guidall, the narrator, took some getting used to. But after a little while I was really enjoying his reading. I especially like his voice for the Gunslinger.
"Character evolution is sooo well done!"
I just finished this last installment in the Dark Tower series. And I must say, I think this may be the best book series I've ever read (or listened to in this case). This last book really digs deep into the characters and shows just how far the journey has taken them as people. As I was listening to this one, I kept reflecting back to the characters as they started and realizing how much they've developed.
If you've been following the entire series, you will not be disappointed. If you are thinking about starting the series, do yourself a big favor: go to the first book of the series (The Gunslinger) and get started.
"Extremely candid, very respectable"
I just finished off this audiobook and have come to the conclusion that Tony Blair is an extremely principled and honorable fellow. I already knew that, no matter the media attacks, his personal vision completely changed politics in Britain for the better on both sides of the political spectrum because it caused everyone to honestly evaluate the way they do business. This book addresses the hard decisions and personal pain over making those decisions that Mr. Blair had to endure. I may not agree with the total sum of his politics; but after this book, I can respect his reasoning in addition to respecting the man. This is a very compelling listen. Mr. Blair is not the greatest narrator ever (kind of fast talking with sudden stops), but his reading this relays a very personal telling and is well worth it.
"One of my old favorites"
I originally read this book 20 years ago, and remembered that it was one of my favorites back then. So I came into this with the hopes that I hadn't outgrown this story. Well, I haven't. This story was great fun with the magic and mystery and excitement and caring for the characters. To me, this book didn't take as long as many other Stephen King books to get going. And once it was going, it was hard to turn off. I listened to this on my daily commutes and often found myself unable to turn off the car because I wanted to find out how a situation turned out.
"Quite a chase!"
This story is quite a chase as we ride along on the investigation for a mysterious man who has been hired to kill France's president. The story is written very engagingly, and I found myself really hoping for the success of all of the authorities involved. But also, I liked the character of the Jackal. Several of his actions and reasons I could totally understand.
Overall, this is an enjoyable story and totally worth the listen. And Simon Prebble does a great job of narration.
"Great job as author and narrator"
Throughout the story, I felt a great amount of sympathy for all of the main characters. I many times found myself mentally spent when I had listened to the book for a good chunk of time. Much of this was due to the author's reading of the book. He is extremely talented, relating sorrow when one man basically bids his life goodbye, and relating coldness and hatred from the evil presence.
This story of a simple idea with far-reaching consequences is fascinating, especially when the plan goes into action and we are able to watch how events unfold with unexpected complexity. Be ready for a lot of background on the main players in the telling. But the provided background really helped me to identify with these people.
"The other side of the famous failed expedition"
This book is a good and worthwhile listen as it provides the completion of the Shackleton story. In this book, I found heroes and frustration. But as this is abridged, I think I missed out on much that would have connected me to the men this book is about.
Bottom line: As information, this is great. As a story, this lacks some character development.

For today's podcast I decided to interview myself about upcoming new gig. It's a short episode, under six minutes, and here's the transcript:
My guest for this week's podcast is John Wilkin. He's the director of the University of Michigan Library's technology department, and coordinator of the library's joint digitization project with Google. It's been two years since Google began partnering with the University of Michigan and with other libraries, including Harvard and the New York Public Library. In this conversation we talk about the UM's earlier (and still-ongoing) efforts to digitize its 7-million-volume library, about how the partnership with Google has radically accelerated that process, and about what this is all going to mean for libraries, for publishers, for Google, and for all us.
Joining me for today's podcast is Rajiv Gupta, CEO of Securent. His new company, which has been operating in stealth mode for a couple of years and just announced itself today, is focused on the thorny problem of fine-grained access control. In this conversation we discuss the role of XACML, the Extensible Access Control Markup Language, we talk about how to wrap or intercept legacy security policies in order to hoist them out of application logic and place them in the network where they belong, and we explore the relationship between fine-grained security which focuses on individual resources, and coarse-grained security which deals with users and roles.
Jim Russell is a geographer, social theorist, and would-be social entrepeneur who blogs at Burgh Diaspora. In today's podcast we discuss his analysis of ways to organize Pittsburgh's diaspora -- the informal network of ex-Pittsburghers scattered around the world. Why might that matter? Jim's thesis, which I find fascinating, is that the "distance trust" embodied in that kind of network can have important social and economic effects not only for Pittsburgh, but for local and regional populations everywhere in this era of pervasive mobility and telecommunications.
John Schneider, the CTO of AgileDelta and the driving force behind E4X, is now evangelizing Efficient XML, an alternate binary syntax for XML. In today's podcast we discuss the motivations for this proposed W3C standard, its theoretical foundations, and its uses.
Cricket Liu joins me for today's podcast. He's known for his popular books on DNS infrastructure, and as VP of Architecture at Infoblox has recently led an effort to identify and correct DNS security vulnerabilities.
Mark Ericson, director of SOA product strategy for BlueNote Networks, joins me for this week's podcast on the subject of VoIP/SOA convergence. When Mark talks about communications-enabling business processes, he doesn't just mean processes talking to one another, but also processes communicating with people -- and coordinating the communication among people. We've dreamed about unified communications forever, and for the most part we're still dreaming, but we'll get there one of these days. When we do, we'll wonder how we ever got along without the service-oriented integration of voice and data that BlueNote envisions.
Joining me for today's podcast is the programmer-turned-writer Ellen Ullman. I recently reread her 1995 book, Close to the Machine: Technophilia and its Discontents, and found it as compelling today as it was then.
The guest innovator for today's podcast is Tim Fahlberg. During his 11-year stint as a math teacher, Tim pioneered the use of what he calls whiteboard movies or mathcasts, and what I call screencasts. Today he's a consultant and reseller of educational technologies who's passionately committed to reinventing education. His main website is CoolSchoolTools.com. On his Wiki, Mathcasts.org, you can find hundreds of mathcasts. Tim has done a bunch of these himself, and there are also a bunch made by other people including these Australian schoolkids.
Today's podcast with Cyril Houri, founder and CEO of Mexens Technologies, advances a story I began telling in early 2005 about annotating the planet. The problem was, and still is, that there aren't very many people with GPS devices. Cyril's system, Navizon, aims to bootstrap us out of that situation. The idea is to incent people carrying the fairly small number of GPS-equipped mobile devices (PocketPCs, cellphones) to map the locations of both WiFi access points and cell towers. Then people using vast numbers of devices on WiFi or cellular networks can use location-aware applications without having to own GPS gear.
The multi-talented Phil Windley joins me for today's podcast, which was prompted by my recent experience with an expired passport, lost birth certificate, and misplaced social security card. As an author, university professor, InfoWorld contributor, and of course former state CIO, Phil has an excellent understanding of identity regimes in the real world, in the virtual world, and at the intersection of the two.
Roy Fielding, the primary architect of HTTP and a co-founder of the Apache Software Foundation, joins me for today's podcast. We talked about the past, present, and future of web architectural style, and about how REST principles carry over to the work Roy has done as chief scientist with Day Software on the Java content-management standards JSR 170 and JSR 283.
Peter Suber, the leading chronicler of the open access movement, joins me for this week's podcast. Since the dawn of the blog era, it's been obvious to me that the modes of knowledge exchange we bloggers take for granted are also a natural fit for scientific and academic publishing. That idea has matured more slowly than some of us had hoped. But as you know if you follow Peter's blog, Open Access News, it has now taken root and is growing at a healthy rate.
Charlie Hoffman, the director of industry solutions for UBmatrix, is acknowledged as "the father of XBRL" -- the eXtensible Business Reporting Language to which I had a bit of an xallergic reaction when I first encountered it a couple of years ago. But when Brian DeLacey, a researcher turned XBRL entrepeneur, suggested that I interview Charlie I jumped at the chance. In this week's podcast the three of us discuss the history of XBRL, its relationship to XML, its goals, its successes, and its challenges.
Ross Mayfield, CEO and founder of the enterprise wiki company Socialtext, joins me for this week's podcast. It was a well-timed interview because today and this weekend the Wikimaniacs are gathered in Cambridge, MA, for Wikimania 2006.
Paul Patrick is the architect of BEA's AquaLogic suite. In today's podcast we reflect on what's happened in the year since BEA declared its intention to become the Switzerland of SOA. Topics include objects versus services, why SOA != web services, how XQuery enables smart intermediaries, the nature of security in a world of distributed data, and BEA's intentions with respect to .NET, PHP, REST, and POX. Despite that mouthful of acronyms, the conversation should be accessible to IT-oriented businessfolk as well as to business-oriented technologists.
When I first heard Bob Glushko speak at a conference I knew we were kindred spirits. Our shared interests include information architecture, XML, web services, and the hybrid discipline of document engineering that he and Tim McGrath define in their eponymously-titled new book.
Mike Hudack, one of the founders of the video sharing service blip.tv, was my guest for this week's podcast. Mike had seen my essay on walled gardens. We discussed blip.tv's current efforts and future to ensure that videos, as well as metadata about videos, flow freely on vthe web. Blip.tv is working with Dabble, FireAnt, Technorati, and other in a collaboration called Video Vertigo (hint: the password is (intentionally) in the authentication dialog box) to federate video-specific metadata, such as viewership stats, as well as general metadata such as tags.
Lou Rosenfeld is my guest for this week's podcast. Fellow superpatron Edward Vielmetti put me in touch with Lou, with whom I share an affection not only for Ann Arbor, Michigan, but also for a cluster of topics including information architecture, search analytics, print and online publishing, designing for usability, tagging, and microformats. We had a great conversation!
Open government is the subject of this week's podcast with Dan Thomas, who directs Washington DC's DCStat program, and Suzanne Peck, chief technology officer for the city. I first met Dan at our SOA forum in November. Recently he contacted me about an exciting new initiative that soft-launched last week: live data feeds that will enable any interested citizen to track the performance of agencies that deliver city services.
Mike Frost, CEO of Site Controls, joins me for this Friday's installment of my Interviews with Innovators series. A couple of years ago I wrote an essay called The energy web about a set of ideas that matter more with each passing month. I'll say more about this in my InfoWorld column next week, but as you'll hear in this interview, I'm really excited by the focused entrepeneurial approach that Mike's company is taking. "We can't wait for the government to build the railroads in this case," he says, and I violently agree.
For today's installment of my Friday podcast series I got together with CJ Rayhill. She's the CIO at O'Reilly and Associates and, with Allen Noren, has been leading the SafariU project. It's a service that provides college course materials online and also as customized books printed on demand.
Today's installment of my Friday podcast series, which I'm now calling Interviews with Innovators (RSS feed here), began life as a screencast in which Peter Rodgers, founder and CEO of 1060 Research, was demonstrating the 1060 NetKernel. It's an unusual creature -- a REST-oriented, microkernel-based app server that I first noticed back in 2004.
For this week's Friday podcast I got together with Frank Martinez, founder of Blue Titan and now, as a result of a recent acquisition, executive VP of SOA Software.
For today's Friday podcast I got together with Andy Singleton. I've known Andy for a long time. Back in 2003 I brought him in to help with a feature story on the globalization of software development -- in particular, for his thoughts on the dynamic assembly of global teams that can wield open source componentry.
The new preview of LINQ went live yesterday. For this week's Friday podcast I got together with Anders Hejlsberg to talk about the project in general, and what's in the new preview.
Today's podcast, the fifth in my Friday podcast series, is a conversation with Nathan McFarland and Benjamin Hill. I met Nathan at ETech, where he demonstrated CastingWords, a podcast transcription service that uses Amazon's Mechanical Turk to distribute and coordinate work. Benjamin's project, Mycroft, packages up puzzle-like tasks in ways that people can interact with on web pages. You can find a write-up on Mycroft in this CommerceNet technical report.
In my fourth Friday podcast we hear from Kingsley Idehen, CEO of OpenLink Software. I wrote about OpenLink's universal database and app server, Virtuoso, back in 2002 and 2003. Earlier this month Virtuoso became the first mature SQL/XML hybrid to make the transition to open source. The latest incarnation of the product also adds SPARQL (a semantic web query language) to its repertoire.
Today's podcast is an interview with Chris Gemignani. We've crossed paths a couple of times, and I've been greatly impressed by his combination of skills. He's an extreme Excel hacker, has a Tuftean sensibility about data visualization, and uses his screencasts to open a window onto ways of thinking about, and doing, analysis of business data.
Today's podcast is a conversation with Steve Burbeck on the topic of multicellular computing. I first met Steve at Tim O'Reilly's 2001 summit conference on peer-to-peer technologies. Steve was at IBM then, and was working on UDDI among other things. (He's an author of the UDDI spec.) His background prior to IBM includes consulting and product management in the realm of object-oriented development tools -- especially Smalltalk. Before that he ran data processing and statistics at the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine, acquiring the understanding of biological systems that he now hopes to apply to networked computer systems.

Comment posted Emergence of Kintyre and Gigha Marketing Group completes Argyll and the Isles jigsaw by Anne Baird.
Nick, In the time I've known the team operating For Argyll it's become absolutely apparent that they are in no-one's pockets. They judge each item entirely on merit without regard to where it came from or the people it's associated with. Sometimes I've felt that judgement is harsh or just plain wrong but that's the way it is. Newsroom invariably tells it the way newsroom sees it and wild horses and hellfire wouldn't change that.
The idea that newsroom is a front for some group or other has been mooted before. Actually for newsroom to front so many would take up so much time there would be no time for running this kind of news site!

Cleveland Browns face another tough quarterback in New York Giants' Eli Manning
The Browns knew going into 2012 they would be tested by some of the best quarterbacks in the NFL week after week, and so far they have not weathered the storm well.
Even though they intercepted four passes by Michael Vick, they couldn't stop the Eagles quarterback late in the fourth quarter when they had to in the season opener. The Bengals' Andy Dalton and the Bills' Ryan Fitzpatrick each threw three touchdown passes against the Browns and Joe Flacco of the Ravens followed that by bombing the secondary with five passes 20 yards or longer.
There is no let-up Sunday. The Browns face the Giants and their two-time Super Bowl MVP, Eli Manning. The only quarterback that has passed for more yardage than Manning's 1,320 yards is Drew Brees by a mere 30 yards.
"He's got a tremendous grasp of their offense," Browns defensive coordinator Dick Jauron said of Manning. "He's very well coached. They do a terrific job with him. Their whole unit from Tom (Coughlin) through the whole staff, they do a great job.
"He's calm. You can rattle any quarterback, obviously, if you hit him enough. It doesn't matter who they are. It's just not normal not to get a little bit affected by it, but he throws a nice ball in the face of pressure. He stands there and delivers it accurately. We've seen him do it time and again on video that we've watched."
The plan last week was to disrupt Flacco with the pass rush and the Browns were successful at times, but Manning statistically gets the second best protection in the league. Manning has been sacked only four times on 164 pass plays. Only Matt Schaub in Houston gets better protection.
The Giants won't have wide receiver Hakeem Nicks (foot injury), but the Browns won't have wide receivers Mohamed Massaquoi or Travis Benjamin. Both are suffering from hamstring injuries.
Manning is getting by without Nicks by throwing to Victor Cruz and tight end Martellus Bennett. Cruz has a league-high 32 catches. Bennett has half that number, three of them for touchdowns.
Dimitri Patterson, burned by the Ravens' Anquan Boldin, expects to be on Cruz most of the time Sunday.
"Cruz is just a playmaker," Browns cornerback Sheldon Brown said. "He's a confident guy that plays with passion. And New York media gives him the motivation to keep going and going. So wherever he's at, they throw the ball to him." Continued...
The Browns have had to play catch-up in each of their games and consequently haven't run the ball as often as they would like. They definitely are in trouble if they are losing after three quarters Sunday because the fourth quarter is when the Giants put the hammer down.
New York has outscored opponents, 49-20, in the fourth quarter. Manning has thrown four of his seven
touchdown passes in the fourth quarter. His overall passer rating is 94.3, which ranks 10th in the NFL. His fourth quarter rating of 115.6 is second only to Dalton (151.7) among quarterbacks that have thrown at least 25 passes in the final period.
"His first two years, the game was fast and he was learning," said Brown, who faced Manning twice a year from 2005-2009 while with the Eagles and once in 2004 when Manning was a rookie in New York. "I don't think the guys really trusted him yet. Obviously that's normal. But right now those guys are in heaven. They wouldn't choose another guy to go to play with.
"You can probably argue that he's right up there with Aaron Rodgers. Let's be honest. He pulled out a lot of victories in the end."
Manning rallied the Giants from five fourth-quarter deficits last year. He has led rallies with the Giants behind or tied in the fourth quarter 23 times. The Browns are determined not to become victim No. 24.

The Woodchucks are one win away from clinching a playoff spot and winning the second half championship in the Northwoods League's southern division. It's been an incredible run for the Chucks in the second half especially when you relaize that they have used over 45 players this season and that only Brooks Braga remains from the Opening Day roster. They tied a franchise record with their 42nd win last night 4-3 over Wisconsin Rapids and are now 25-3 in the secpnd half. It was also the 8th walk-off win for the Chucks this season. They are getting great pitching and have hit the ball well in the second half....which helps them battle through a spotty defense. They can clinch the second half title tonight in Wisconsin Rapids as they embark on a 6 game road trip...and you can hear the game on Foxsports1390. There is one more home game in the regular season and that is this Sunday night. The playoffs begin next Monday.
The Chucks also have three former Wausau Legion Bulldogs on their pitching staff. Adam Kramer is a starter and John Roberts and the newly signed Ryan Zweck are working out of the bullpen. All have pitched well in their chances so far.
Speaking of Legion baseball...Madison won the AAA state tournament with a victory over Ashport on Sunday. Madison moves on now to the Great Lakes Regional at Midland Michigan. Plover won their first two games at the tournament before being eliminated. Plover's Clay Giese, Willie Doll & Sterling King were named to the all-Tournament team.
Ben Provisor gave his family & friends a thrill as he won his first match at the Olympics on Sunday. The SPASH grad beat Alexei Bel of Cuba. Unfortunatly he had to stop his second round match after injuring his elbow and will not medal. He did say that he learend where he needs to improve for future international matches as he looks now toward Rio in 2016.
High school fall sports rev up this week with practices starting today for boys soccer & girls golf...football begins tomorrow.
The Packers have some injury problems...none more important than starting offensive lineman Marshall Newhouse who suffeered a concussion in the Family night scrimmage. Rookie Herb Taylor worked out with the first team on Sunday. Some veterans including Aaron Rodgers got the night off. The first pre-season game is Thursday in San Diego.

Just Crazy Love-Fleetwood Mac (1973) a great Christine McVie track from my favorite Fleetwood MAc LP "Mystery To Me". It featured Bob Weston & Bob Welch and is a really solid effort...it also featured one of the strangest album covers of all time.

1. | Trunking | ||
To wave your penis up and down in front of a females face in such a manner were it seems like it is an Elephants Trunk. "I was trunking this girl last night, it was totally awesome!"
2. | Trunking | ||
When a man puts his foreskin on a woman's nose and subsequently pulls his penis back, creating a vacuum. When the foreskin slides of the woman's nose, a popping sound is created. Based on Disney's Dumbo, where the jailed mother elephant hugs Dumbo using her trunk. Whereas my former gf enjoyed a cozy dickslap now and then, my new one is deeply into trunking.
Dude, that hipster chick you hooked me up with made me trunk her before she would go to sleep. |

Having sex with one's anus to the point where the anus and colon become distended, and protrude out of the body, and then performing oral sex on the length of protruding anus. Me and Charlize were stone cold trunkin'.
Nathan is a good guy because he knows how to trunk some anus. |
5. | trunking | ||
The act of fucking the trunk of a dead (or live) elephant. This feat can only be done by a man. Strap-ons DO NOT COUNT ladies. Ponsonby and the rest of the English aristocrats on African safari have just killed an old male elephant, and there is no doubt that the first thought in their minds was to trunk for the rest of the afternoon. This abomination included barons and earls of high society viciously blitzkrieging their dicks up the formidable nasal instrument of Earth's finest beast.
Trunking with a live elephant, while not totally out of the question, has never been done. |
6. | Trunking | ||
Trunking or the act of Trunking is when one person gets in the trunk of a car, and at the right moment, pops out and scares/surprises the nearest people. Trunking usually occurs in parking lots at parked spaces, however can be done anywhere. The main goal of Trunking is not to harm, or scare, rather than to observe the reactions people will give you! Tim: OMG LETS GO PLANKING!
Mike: No bro, trunking people is better, its the newest trend. Tim: Oh I saw that shit! Lets do it! Mike: Hell yeah. |

Teddy Bear Toss 2012
By: Administrator
Updated: November 29, 2012
Throwing objects onto the ice is normally not allowed at a Utica College hockey game. This Saturday is a bit different - for the 8th annual Teddy Bear Toss game. When Utica College scores their first goal fans get to toss stuffed animals onto the ice. The nationally ranked pioneers welcome in buffalo state to the aud. Last year Utica beat Salve Regina 12-0 and Ridge Garbutt scored the famed first goal.
Ridge says, "It's definitely a game you mark on your calendar, the highlight of the year up to this point for sure. You know every person from school from the city is going to be there and it's a really special night."
12th year head coach Gary Heenan says, "It's an unbelievable night for a number of reasons. A, anytime you can put a smile on a kids face we're happy to do that and to be able to host this event in its 8th year, it's really become a city tradition."
The puck drops at 7 PM from the Aud.

Coolibar SUNTECT® Fabric
aqua SUNTECT® We are known for this UPF 50+ swimwear fabric: incredibly lightweight yet durable, even in salt or chlorine water. Four-way stretch, superior breathability, quick drying. More about SUNTECT® sun protection >
This is my second purchase of the Ruche swim shirt. I love the palm print on this one and it goes with other Coolibar items I own. Truly suitable for any vacation land or sea. I have been a long time fan of the swimwear for the entire family.
Extremely light weight and fits well. Exactly what I wanted
Fit true to size, very comfortable, I love the look and underneath I put a black Bathing suite and it was just perfect and it did offer maximum protection from the Bahamas Sun.
I burn so easily and this top in conjunction with long swim pants allows me of hours in the sun without painful consequences, thanks!
Great swim shirt, no sun burn here! It help keep warm in long hours of snorkling and swimming.
a beach-dress, a tunic over pants, last but not least swimshirt, with good cover-up, looks great and supercomfortable. Had swimshrts, that are short, but this has the same comfort and looks great since its also covering hip and upperleg area.
I loved the piece, however it didn't fit. Need to take fabric used in length and make bust wider.
This is SO cute! It fits in such a way as to make my 218 pound figure look great, while providing excellent sun protection at the same time. Very nice!

Andrew "Ender" Wiggin was not the only child in the Battle School; he was just the best of the best. In this book, Card tells the story of another of those precocious generals, the one they called Bean, the one who became Ender's right hand, part of his team, in the final battle against the Buggers. Bean's past was a battle just to survive. His success brought him to the attention of the Battle School's recruiters, those people scouring the planet for leaders, tacticians, and generals to save Earth from the threat of alien invasion. Bean was sent into orbit, to the Battle School. And there he met Ender.
©1999 Orson Scott Card; (P)2005 Audio Renaissance, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishers, LLC
"An exceptional work." (School Library Journal)
"An absorbing, near-flawless performance." (Kirkus)
"As always, everyone will be struck by the power of Card's children, always more and less than human, perfect yet struggling, tragic, yet hopeful, wondrous and strange." (Publishers Weekly)
"Totally Card"
I usually hate "Companion Series" books, they usually seem to decline in entertainment value after the original book (Enders Game, in this case), especially when the original book seems to neatly end with no loose ends to warrant another book.
The Ender series is MUCH different, the "follow-up" books just keep getting better... The characters are well fleshed out (sometimes it seems a little too much time is wasted fleshing out a character, but it ends up being just the right amount of information you needed to know to keep up with the character's motivations further along in the book, or series).
If you liked Ender's Game, then the follow-up books are a "Must have", even if you think "How could they be better than the original"?
The unabridged versions are a bit long winded at times, but you get details that you NEED to have to keep up with the complex stories being woven.
Card says, "hearing" the books are the way he wanted them presented, and having several narrators in each book makes the audio books MUCH better.
I found myself downloading the next book in the series before I finished the one I was listening to so there wouldn't be a gap where I wasn't caught up in the stories.
"Exceptional and Enduring"
Before you click over this title, stop and ask why has Orson Scott Card's books endured? Because of Ender. Ender and the concept that children can think endure tragedy and triumph even under the most difficult of circumstances. The magic of the full cast narration and the humble but magnificant brilliant ending will leave you breathless. If you love science fiction it is a must have. If you are 50+ and want to indulge in psychological thriller this is for you. If you are a teen looking for who you are you will find it in this book... no matter who you are the story will grab you and you will be challenged by this book to think and imagine, which of course is what books are all about ..
"Equal to Original"
With Ender's Shadow I have come to a problem, I refer to this as the "Godfather Dilemna" when a sequal is as good if not better then the original, as was Godfather 2 vs the original. THe Godfather Dilemna is essentially, the sequal being as good but what would it have been without the original. Ender's Shadow is a must read for any fan of the series. It gives great insight into of course Bean but also into that of the teachers, other students at battle school and gives an "objective" appraisal of Ender himself.
"Excellent Novel"
Card suggests that this book can be read independently from, "Ender's Game." I disagree. Read Ender's Game, then Ender's Shadow, then re-read Ender's Game. Ender's Shadow follows the same time line and events as Ender's Game, but from the perspective of the character, Bean. These two novels compliment each other so well, that they leave you wanting more. These are two of the best sci-fi novels out there.
"A Great Addition to the Series"
Card re-visits Battle Scholl in "Enders Shadow" through the eyes of Bean. Card has grown as a writer since he wrote "Enders Game" and it shows. Characters in "Shadow" are much better developed and the story has a much more "polished" feel to it. I found the narration to be very enjoyable and easy to listen to. I would recommend listening to "Enders Game" and "Enders Shadow" before going on to "Speaker for the Dead", the books compliment each other.
"Double Your Pleasure"
After reading Ender's Game over a year ago, I though it would be nice to now read Ender's Shadow. Both books are superb and I recommend them both without reservation (in addition to "Speaker For The Dead" - which you will want to read after you have read Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow). The fact that Scott Brick and Stefan Rudniki are two of the narrators only sweetens the deal. For the past two years, I have been downloading books based on the narrator more than the author. In my opinion, Mr. Brick can read the telphone book and make it sound interesting (but I digress).
In order for me to truly enjoy Ender's Shadow, I started to re-listen to Ender's Game again. I then thought it would be interesting to listen to both books at relatively the same time since they are both the exact same story told from different character's perspectives (Brilliant Idea!!). I started to listen to Enders Game up to the point where he meets his friend Bean for the first time. I would then start to listen to Ender's Shadow up to the point where Bean meets Ender for the first time. Then I would listen to one for an hour or so, and then start listening to the other until I got to the same point in the story. What an unbelievalbe pleasure! I actually had fun listening to these two stories in this fashion. It allowed me to understand certain things that were either missed or that seemed to be unimportant the first time around.
Orson Scott Card is a great author and it amazes me that there are people who have his type of mind and imagination to tell these types of detailed and intricate stories. Even if you are not a science fiction fan (which I never was until now), I recommend these three particular stories without reservation.
"Like fine wine with an excellent meal"
Ender's Game was and is arguably the best science fiction book to come out in the past thirty years. It stands apart from even such greats as Diamond Age, Ringworld, the Dune books and Stranger In A Strange Land.
Ender's Shadow does it again, complementing and completing Ender's Game like no other book could. It's the same story with the same characters, and yet it is almost completely new and exciting. By showing the character differences between an ultra-smart little kid (bean) and Ender (smart yet more innovative than a walking computing machine) OSC has shown that he truly is a remarkable writer as well as a visionary.
Excellent read. A+++ read it if you haven't. In addition, make sure you listen to OSC's afterward describing the difficulties of making an Ender movie and how Ender's Shadow helped to make it possible.
"The beginning of Bean"
Happening paralell with Ender's story is the story of Bean, the smallest, youngest and brightest of Ender's team and friends. Bean's story is one of survival, loyalty and what it means to be a friend. Trying to shoulder some of Ender's responsibility, and trying very hard to save the world is Bean, child warrior with so much intelligence that even the instructors fear him. I loved this version of Ender's story, the same story from a different perspective, showing you the mind of yet another wonderful child.
"Don't waste your time with the abridgement."
The abridged audio of this title is absolutely awful, but for years it was inexplicably the only audio version available. Why anyone thought Michael Gross would be a good narrator for this title is beyond me.
I've had the release date for the GOOD (i.e. UNabridged) audio version on my calendar for months and now it's FINALLY here. Unabridged, full cast, hopefully as good as the full cast audio versions of the rest of this series. I don't know why they waited to do a correct version of the first "Shadow" title LAST, but I'm relieved they finally did.
I have to admit this book shocked me. I loved Ender's Game. I had read all the other Ender books before this came out and they were just OK at best, nothing like the first. I had thought the magic was gone but..... This book was fantastic.
Same story as Ender's game, same characters, same occurrences, different point of view. I enjoyed every minute of it. How can the same story be so original? Good work Mr. Card.

Information is a dynamic force within the enterprise. Information drives transactions, facilitates customer interactions, and ultimately creates competitive advantage. The rapid acceleration in the amount of data being collected and generated at most companies requires a strategic approach to storage infrastructure. How information is stored, managed, protected, and distributed directly impacts a company's success in lowering costs and accelerating revenues.
The storage requirements for most enterprises have grown increasingly complex as the amount of stored data and the numbers of individual database applications have grown. Most large enterprises will have a combination of DAS, SAN, and NAS storage to meet the needs of various databases and applications. To reduce this complexity, enterprises are increasingly relying on storage solutions to help consolidate storage for their database environments. Many companies can streamline operations even further by consolidating databases and storage at the same time.
BTC through its partnership with NetApp offers a full suite of hardware and software solutions and a unified storage architecture that allows a single storage platform to meet the storage needs of existing applications whether they require direct-attached, SAN, or NAS storage. At the same time, our solutions offer unparalleled availability, performance, scalability, and ease-of-use for lower total cost of ownership and improved return on investment. A variety of accompanying software solutions are designed to meet the critical needs that most database users have for data protection, rapid data recovery, and disaster recovery.
