Sounds associated with joint motion are usually of no great importance unless there are other symptoms. For example, a cracking sound from the knee when going from a standing to a squatting position is unlikely to matter much if it is not accompanied by pain, limitation of motion or swelling. The same goes for cracking knuckles or crunching noises in the neck.
The neck has an intricate arrangement of bones, joints, ligaments and muscles that allow the upper spine to turn, bend and rotate while protecting the spinal cord and other nearby structures. Some people notice noises or a grinding sensation in the course of normal neck motion.
Of course, crunching or grinding noises during neck motion that is associated with other symptoms could be important. For example, such noises accompanied by neck pain, arm weakness or numbness could be an indication of arthritis, disc disease or a combination of these.
If you are concerned about the noises you're hearing during neck motion, see your doctor. While it's unlikely to be due to anything serious, the reassurance may be worth the visit.

CHARLESTON (AP) — A third former West Virginia county official pleaded guilty Wednesday to a federal charge arising from a scheme to sway a 2010 Democratic primary with fraudulent absentee ballots.
Ex-Lincoln County Commissioner Thomas Ramey Jr. pleaded guilty to lying to an FBI agent investigating the plot. U.S. District Judge Thomas Johnston set a Nov. 15 sentencing hearing for the 32-year-old Democrat, who faces up to five years in prison and a fine. Ramey remains free on bond.
Ramey admitted that he lied in a Feb. 7 interview to conceal his role in arranging for the altering of around 20 absentee ballot applications he had filed on behalf of county voters, a document filed as part of his July 5 plea agreement said.
Ramey had conspired with Lincoln County Sheriff Jerry Bowman and Clerk Donald Whitten to flood their party's primary with absentee ballots, the filing said. Whitten was campaigning for another term in the Democrat-dominated county, where that party's primary winners typically prevail the following November. Unable to run for sheriff again this year because of term limits, Bowman was running for circuit clerk in 2010 while Ramey had been appointed commissioner and sought election to keep the seat.
Both Bowman and Ramey feared close races, each has admitted to prosecutors.
"The Candidates agreed that they would, together and individually, visit voters and seek to persuade them to vote absentee in the Election," the filing said. "The Candidates further agreed that they would complete absentee ballot applications for voters."
While West Virginia allows in-person, no-excuse early voting before elections, voters must provide a reason for casting an absentee ballot. Bowman and Ramey agreed to mark applications to say that residents could not vote in person because of travel or employment, "regardless of whether those reasons were true," Ramey's plea agreement said.
Besides indicating false reasons on some applications, Ramey also failed to provide any reason on others, the filing said. Through his plea agreement, Ramey admitted that he knew that both actions were illegal.
Ramey learned shortly before the May primary that opposing candidates planned to contest the results by alleging illegal absentee voting. He then persuaded an unidentified county clerk employee to mark reasons on the 20 or so applications he had filed without any, the filing said. As a commissioner, Ramey later certified the primary results despite his knowledge of the fraud.
Complaints about absentee votes emerged immediately after the primary. A state circuit judge later reversed Bowman's win by throwing out more than 300 contested absentee ballots.
Both Whitten and Bowman resigned after prosecutors charged them this January, as part of plea agreements. Ramey falsely told the FBI agent the following month that someone altered the applications without his knowledge or involvement.
Bowman and Whitten pleaded guilty in March, and await sentencing Aug. 29. Bowman admitted to conspiracy, while Whitten said he lied to an investigator for Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, West Virginia's elections chief, as her office scrutinized the influx of absentee ballots.
"With Mr. Ramey's guilty plea, we believe we have convicted all the most important participants in the fraudulent absentee ballot scheme in Lincoln County," U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said in a statement Wednesday. "That said, our investigation will continue until we confirm that everyone whose conduct warrants prosecution has been charged."
County resident James Matheny was also found guilty in May on assault and brandishing charges, after prosecutors say he threatened an FBI agent and a Tennant investigator with a gun as they inquired about the absentee ballot plot.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Steve Ruby, who has helped oversee the election fraud prosecutions, outlined Ramey's plea agreement to Johnston. Resigning in advance of Wednesday's hearing, Ramey has also agreed to stay out of politics for 10 years. As with Bowman and Whitten, Ramey must cooperate with investigators as well under the terms of his plea deal.
Before becoming a commissioner, Ramey had won election to the county school board. The Harts native has also been the director of Challenge West Virginia, which describes itself as a statewide group advocating for small community-based schools.

A guy named Kucd posted this on Bash forum. It's long, but is worth reading. If this is all correct, then PC gaming is not as doomed as everyone thinks. This is a 100% PC game. And will be completely moddable from what I understand. Now, if only it'll have PB, it would be perfect.

Official PAX10 Never Surrender Trailer:
* General Information
Release Date: 2011
Leading Eastern and Central European publisher 1C Company and Tripwire Interactive are excited to announce the sequel to Red Orchestra, the leading realism-based multiplayer WWII shooter on the PC. Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad will take the award winning Red Orchestra franchise into the next generation of gaming. Cutting edge graphics and audio built using the Unreal Engine 3, inventive features and streamlined realism will deliver an unrivalled WWII experience.
Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad will focus on the Battle of Stalingrad and the surrounding operations, both German and Russian, from July 1942 to February 1943. The game allows the player to experience one of the most brutal battles in all of human history. The game consists out of two campaigns � Red Army and German. Delivering unrivalled accuracy and attention to detail, along with gritty, vicious combat in multiplayer, co-op and solo modes the game will feature everything from quick, brutal firefights to more intricate and challenging simulation modes.
- 64 bit Support: (Source: Ramm-Jaeger)
I can't 100% confirm it, but the game should be able to run in native 64 bit mode when it is released. All the core engine stuff works fine in 64 bit, the only thing that would prevent it would be if there was a middleware we integrated with the game that we couldn't get 64bit working for.
* Gameplay Features
- First person cover system: Experience the ultimate firefights that a cover system allows, from the immersion of a first person view. Peek or blind fire over and around cover and more.
- Squad Command: Command fire teams on the battlefield using an easy to use first person interface.
- WWII weaponry Redefined: True to life ballistics, bullet penetration, breathing, adjustable sights, free aim, weapon bracing, photo-real graphics and more.
- Morale: Experience what it is like to be a soldier in one of the bloodiest conflicts in history and the importance of a soldier�s state of mind and how it can turn the tide of battle.
- Damage System: A detailed hit detection system. Specific bodyparts hit are more lethal than others. Instant Death, Lethal, Critical and Non-Critical. (Source: PC Gamer Article July '09)
- Mantling system: Being able to climb over small obstacles and such. (Source: PC Gamer Article July '09)
- Adjustable sights: '...you'll have to aim higher to account for bullet drop, or dial in your sights/scope to the aprox. range the enemy is at.' (Source: PC Gamer Article July '09)
- Bandaging: Bandaging wounds by pressing B. Vital organs hit are not bandagable. (Source: PC Gamer Article July '09)
- Interactive Weapon Collision: 'The gun barrels also collide with objects in the environment in a more realistic fashion, so you may find yourself having to raise or lower your weapon if you're getting too close to corners or walls.' (Source:IGN Preview)
- Bullet Penetration: 'Of course, the new bullet penetration system means that not all cover is going to offer the same level of protection.' (Source:IGN Preview)
- Breathing System: 'There's also fully modeled breathing that affects your aim, and the breathing itself will be tied to your overall stamina level.' (Source:IGN Preview)
- Bipods: '...the weapons will actually pivot on the bipod. This makes it possible to tilt the weapon over and around obstructions that would normally block a weapon you were just carrying in your hand.' (Source:IGN Preview)
- Minimalistic HUD: 'The game also minimizes the HUD interface elements that aren't needed. If you have full stamina, for instance, it will disappear from the HUD.' (Source:IGN Preview)
- Tactical View: This gets activated by holding a key and shows you in 1st person where the objectives are and what the status of them is (Source: Gamecom '09 Presentation)
- Weight System: You can carry a certain amount of weight, and the more weight the slower you will move.
Ramm's answer to my question:
2:16 - [TW]Ramm-Jaeger: Yes, the icon indicates how much weight you are carrying
2:17 - [TW]Ramm-Jaeger: Which affects your movement speed
2:17 - [TW]Ramm-Jaeger: In original RO you could only carry 1 main weapon
2:17 - [TW]Ramm-Jaeger: In ROHOS you can carry as much weight as you could really carry
2:17 - [TW]Ramm-Jaeger: So in most instances thats 2 main weapons
2:17 - [TW]Ramm-Jaeger: It just makes you really slow if you get too much stuff
- Peripheral Vision Indicators: Peripheral indicators - some people have mentioned taking issue with peripheral indicators being in the middle of their screen. The peripheral indicators are NEVER in the middle of your screen, but rather are only ever on the very edge. They represent the view outside the edges or your screen, which represents the 50% of your normal real world FOV that the computer screen doesn't render. They are only there to show you that there is some sort of threat outside what the screen could render, but what you could see in real life. They are pretty subtle, and scale down with distance, so if a threat is far away, then the icon on the edge of your screen is tiny. (Source: Ramm-Jaeger)
- Character Progression: 'character progression, in which players level and rank up. This progression eventually leads to the creation of the titular Heroes. Once at that level, characters will have access to special items and bonuses, but it's the visual cues that sounded interesting in the progression. When a character cracks open Heroes of Stalingrad, they'll be a clean-shaven recruit, sporting a leftover, worn weapon. As they make their way towards becoming a Hero, they grow towards being a hardened veteran. This doesn't mean everyone will be a muscled Rambo, but instead a more grizzled veteran in which your experience shows on your face and your clothes. Steiner, from the old film Cross of Iron, was their prototype Hero. But unlike the recruit's clunky, used weapon, the Hero gets a sharp, clean piece of machinery that will reign terror on their enemies (that's the aim, anyway).' (Source:Voodoo Extreme Interview)
- Dynamic Music System: 'Heroes of Stalingrad will feature a unique dynamic music system that will adapt the emotional mood of the soundtrack to match the morale of the player based on the flow of the battle. To highlight the differences between the two warring powers the game will feature a completely unique soundtrack for the Russian and German sides.' (Source: Wilsonam)
- New Recoil Model: '...an all new recoil model that is more realistic and easier to use (no more insane recoil on SMGs)...' (Source: E3 Interview)
- Interruptible Reloads: '... and interrupting reloads all make the game more realistic and more accessible...' (Source: E3 Interview)
- Artillery: 'Artillery now comes in varying shapes and sizes to help you better nail the opponents. You can have more confined damage via mortar bombardment or far larger damage with a rocket attack.' (Source: GDN Gamescom Article)
3 Kinds of Artillery
Mortars - Artillery - Rockets
- Recon Planes: 'How do you know where to aim that artillery when you can�t see the opponents? Call in a recon plane to have a have look around then pull out your binoculars and bring the rain.' (Source: GDN Gamescom Article)
'Aerial recon in the game: is a means for the commander to get a snapshot of what is going on across the battlefield, get information, make choices on which to issue orders.' (Source: Wilsonam)
- Ironsights for the Sniper: ' They�ve also got standard steel sites on the rifles so you can switch between that and the scope for close/long distance shots.' (Source: GDN Gamescom Article)
- Destructable Buildings: 'While the terrain isn�t deformable, buildings can be bombed to a pile of rubble. Sure, there will still be skeletons in plae so you can use them as cover and strategic points.' (Source: GDN Gamescom Article)
The HUD Explained
* Tanks
- Virtual Interior: 'The player can actually look around in the interior and very easily interact with the interior.' (Source: RPS Interview)
- Tank Locking: 'When a player chooses a tank role they have the option of locking the tank, or allowing other people to join their crew.' (Source: RPS Interview)
- New Tank Damage System: ' For ROHOS we�ve expanded this to include a very broad range of damageable components with accompanying gameplay effects. Things such as damaging optics, damaging the engine and transmission, damaging the turret rotation mechanism, hitting the fuel tank, drive sprocket, treads and more are now included. And now shots that penetrate the tank armor can hit the crewmembers inside.' (Source: RPS Interview)
- Tank Crew (AI/Human): 'And your tank will have a full crew of either AI NPC�s or human players to fight alongside you. Look to your right and you will see the hull machine gunner blasting away at the enemy. Fire the main cannon, and you�ll see an NPC crewman reloading the cannon shell beside you.' (Source: RPS Interview)
* Multiplayer Features
- RO multiplayer taken to new heights: Tripwire�s renowned MP already exceeds that of much of the competition � the new game will stretch that lead even further. With highly addictive and fun varieties of game-play online, the game will feature everything from quick, brutal firefights, through to more intricate and challenging simulation modes.
- Persistent Stats Tracking and Player Progression: Persistence constantly gives the gamer something to strive for and keeps them playing. Grow in rank, earn medals, improve your abilities, and become a Hero � all visible to the complete online gaming community and embedded within the game.
- Heroes: Obtain the ultimate goal and become a Hero online. Players with hero status inspire troops around them and cause fear in their enemies. Heroes have access to the best and rarest weapons and equipment, and will stand out visually from the rest of the soldiers.
- Co-op: Players can connect with their friends and battle AI in multiple game types including the Stalingrad Campaign, Skirmish Mode, and more.
- Competitions & Leader-boards: Compete to obtain unique awards and achievements with players all over the world. The competitions range from shooting range challenges to unique and fun assault courses.
- 64 Player Support: They are shooting to max out players in a game at 64 (with quite large maps one would imagine) and there are ten maps in the game already. (Source: GDN Gamescom Article)
- Territory Mode: 'Territory is a classic assault and defend mode... ...Each of the successive objectives have timers associated with them, but the defenders can accelerate these timers and lock the objective down by keeping the attackers out for a specific length of time. ...the objectives are linked in a chain, so you won't be able to sneak around behind the enemy and take objectives in their rear.' (Source:IGN Preview)
- Skirmish Mode: 'Skirmish mode is a bit like terrorist hunt in Rainbow Six, but this time around you get three fire teams of three members each. Fire team members can be made up of human or AI players as well, so you can even play the game in an offline mode.' (Source:IGN Preview)
'Co-op skirmish where you and a friend can go up against the AI and co-op campaign so you never have to play alone if you don�t want to.' (Source: GDN Gamescom Article)
- Firefight Mode: 'Firefight, which is the Red Orchestra take on a team deathmatch' (Source:Voodoo Extreme Interview)
- Countdown Mode: 'In Countdown players still only get one life, but they get one life per objective, and there are multiple objectives per level. These can be anything from a territory capture, blowing something up or reaching a certain position. There are no solid definitions for the extent of their objectives, but these are the current ideas they're working on. Once the attacking players take the objective, everyone respawns and the match moves to the next area. Alternatively, if the defenders kill all the attackers, they win the round and everyone switches sides. ...Each objective is timed to a few minutes (3 minutes for now) so that players must play quickly and with their heads' (Source:Voodoo Extreme Interview)
'Now it sucks when you get all the stage objectives and then the entire team dies before the main one is taken. to fix that suckage, they�ve included a key objective that basically gives the attackers one Mulligan, without having to yell "do over!" It gives the attacking team one extra full team respawn should you happen to drop the ball.' (Source: GDN Gamescom Article)
- Multiplayer Campaign Mode: 'When players enter into the campaign, it's a giant power struggle. As a team wins a map, it's marked on that large map and the battle progresses into a new area. As teams win they gain Combat Strength, which directly ties to reinforcements and allows them to fight further against the losers. Thus, as one team captures more areas, they both grow stronger but use more strength, leaving them more vulnerable as they approach complete domination. This creates an epic tug-of-war in which those original fifteen minute white-knuckle rumbles turn into a two to three hour war.' (Source:Voodoo Extreme Interview)
- Realism Settings: 'Another thing to point out, is that the game will have different stock server setups, which will be "relaxed realism" and "realistic". Relaxed realism will be what you have seen in these videos, and will include all of the new interface helpers that we have added to the game. With that said, "relaxed realism" will still be 10X more hardcore and realistic than COD or Battlefield (its actually much more hardcore than COD's "hardcore" mode). "Realistic" will be for the more hardcore players, and will have some of the new interface helps, etc disabled. Beyond this, server admins will be able to set up a custom configuration that picks and chooses which features to have.' (Source: Ramm-Jaeger)
- Deathmessages: Currently we have 3 death message settings, normal, delayed, and off. We'll probably add a couple more before release such as your own kills only, etc. Additionally, death messages DO NOT display the distance for a person killing you or someone else. Death messages ONLY display distance for your own personal kills. And having been playing with them like this for almost 2 years now, I can report that it has absolutely NO impact on gameplay. It is just fun to know how far away someone was when you killed them. (Source: Ramm-Jaeger)
- Kill Assists: You now get points for assisting a kill. (Source: Wilsonam)
- Server Class Lock: Some classes are locked until a certain amount of players join the server.
[TW]Ramm-Jaeger: limited classes will unlock as players join the server
- Mini-map: The mini map/overhead map does not just show you enemy players, even if you can see them. It only shows you friendly players, and where your squad mates/squad leader are. And yes its not 100% realistic, but it makes teamplay a lot easier if you are playing with pubbers or people you don't know. (Source: Ramm-Jaeger)

RO2 looks very promising. I will be buying it. If it is like the first one, it will be thru steam using VAC.
Posted Sep 21, 2010 - 07:21 PM
RO was a really good game; heck we competed in it for over a year. The custom content done by the community was extensive and yes it was secured by VAC. There were always a few extra special people and they either got a local ban or VAC eventually caught up with them. It looks like version 2 will be a heck of a game as long as they don't stray too far from their roots. Hopefully it will be as good as or better than the original although the game did die in popularity after a few years.
Posted Sep 22, 2010 - 03:18 PM
I heard somewhere that the CEO of Tripwire was talking about having 2 different anticheats in HoS. Whatever that means. So many features.I would think that a game like this wouldn't attract the little kiddies, so maybe hackers won't be as rampant in it. Should have a mostly adult player base.

Digital Literacy 2.0
This project follows a train-the-trainer and qualify-the-users approach. It sets out to develop and implement training programmes for staff in non-formal learning settings such as Public Libraries, community centres and care centres. Once they are trained, these staff members will enable new users of the Internet to develop skills and knowledge needed to make full and safe use of the World Wide Web as both users of content and creators of online content.
With DLit2.0 we aim to...
- enable adult education staff in Europe for the provision of ICT-Training courses.
- enable learning distant adults to make use of Web 2.0 for acquiring knowledge and participating in social life in an autonomous, confident and critical manner.
- promote the key competence Digital Literacy for continuing education among poorly educated adults.
- encourage and stimulate collaboration between educational and social organisations and promote professional exchange and cooperation on European level in lifelong learning for marginalised and disadvantaged citizens in general.
- enhance the use of ICT for lifelong learning.
- stimulate the dialogue on the training of the trainers in non-formal and informal education in Europe.
We will work towards these aims by implementing a two-step strategy based on a structured curriculum and learning materials which can be used in non-formal learning settings.

Penn State Alumni Turn Out to Support Paterno
200 supporters of Joe Paterno met at the Radisson Hotel Valley Forge on Friday to view a film about the alleged framing of the popular Penn State coach.
According to Philly.com, several hundred alumni of Pennsylvania State University braved the snow on Friday, Jan. 25 to attend a meeting at the Radisson Hotel Valley Forge in King of Prussia aimed at restoring iconic coach Joe Paterno's reputation following the Jerry Sandusky child sex-abuse case. The event was reportedly organized by football hall of fame inductee Franco Harris, who played for Paterno at Penn State more than 40 years ago. The group watched part of a film reportedly in production alleging that Paterno was framed for his reported part in the early cover up of Sandusky's crimes. See some of the film in the Video section of this article. Read more here. --- Related Stories

Backyard basketball in Decatur, Ga.
One-on-one. Two brothers.
The older: Jeremy Price.
He would go on to start as a 6-foot-8, 264-pound forward for the University of Georgia.
The younger: Jarmal Reid.
Now a freshman starter for Oregon State.
There was no quarter.
"It was some rough times, because we were so competitive," Reid said. "So he really taught me a lot and helped me become the player and person I am today."
Although Price was five years older than Reid, he did not go easy.
Reid learned, sometimes the hard way, that if he did not answer aggressive play in kind, he would not survive the sport.
The seeds of a strong defender were planted.
"He was bigger. He was always bigger and he was faster, stronger," Reid said. "The challenge was to try to stop him. That just carried on to whoever I played against. My goal was to stop them and do whatever it takes."
Reid stepped into a starting spot for the Beavers when Angus Brandt was lost for the season with a knee injury.
Coach Craig Robinson realized he needed a player who had versatility as a defender.
"His integrity on defense is better than anybody else's," Robinson said. "You know the effort, the technique, the willingness to play defense all the time is there with him."
At 6-7 and 225 pounds, Reid has the perfect size to match up with any player.
He has enough quickness to stay with guards and size to take on big men.
"He's definitely a tweener," OSU guard Roberto Nelson said. "He can guard anybody and he's strong enough where he can guard the big guys and he's quick enough where he can guard the guards. He's really versatile and he's going to make a lot of noise in the Pac-12."
Reid is in the game to blanket the opposing team's top scoring threats.
Robinson does not hesitate to look to Reid to slow Washington guard C.J. Wilcox (19 points per game) one game and Washington State's 6-10 center Brock Motum (18.9 ppg) the next. Tonight when the Beavers (11-9 overall, 1-6 Pac-12) face the California Golden Bears (11-8, 3-4) at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley, Reid is likely to be tested by Allen Crabbe and Justin Cobbs. The junior guard duo is the highest-scoring pair in the Pac-12 Conference with a combined average of 34.7 points per game.
"When we're playing in the conference, we have to look to try and shut down the other team's best scorer or one of their best scorers," Robinson said. "And he gives us a good opportunity to do that."

One of my favorite things about high school was the last week of school. Sure there were finals, but I knew the school year was about to end, and it was almost time for summer break. Ah… summer break. Oh how I would look forward to it. Oh how I would long for it. Oh how I would plan out all the exciting things I was going to do, only to get trapped in a cycle of boredom within a week. You probably know the drill and have been there before. There's nothing to do. It's too hot, and theme parks are too expensive. So, what can you do? Well, if you're not already going to Life Teen Summer Camp, here are 10 fun things you can do with your summer vacation.

E-Prescribing Used to Track Swine Flu |
Rhode Island, working with Surescripts, is the first state to use prescription data from electronic prescriptions for disease surveillance, in this case tracking the use of antiviral medications during the H1N1 pandemic. Epidemiologists at the Rhode Island Department of Health are receiving weekly updates of prescription data from pharmacies throughout the state. Participating are CVS/pharmacy, Rite Aid, Stop & Shop, and Walgreens. The information reported through Surescripts, which is de-identified to protect patient privacy, is used to see where there are spikes in prescriptions for Tamiflu and other antiviral medications. The tracking system is a result of the widespread adoption of e-prescribing in the state. Every Rhode Island pharmacy can receive prescriptions that are e-prescribed. And according to Surescripts, 63% of prescribers in the state are using electronic prescriptions. This tracking system is viewed as one more advantage of electronic prescriptions, in addition to avoiding medication errors due to legibility issues with handwritten prescriptions. |

Police first issued an Amber Alert for the suspect and his two sons on Thursday, eight days after they were last seen in Georgia.
"Suspect & children are believed to be traveling in a 2002 silver Jeep Grand Cherokee ... traveling on west side of Nashville, TN, on Interstate 40," the alert stated.
The next day, authorities released pictures of the father and his two boys taken from surveillance cameras December 23 and December 24 at a Walmart in Jackson, Tennessee.
Still, they didn't know exactly where they were.
That changed Saturday, soon after Theresa Nash went on CNN, clutching Ben's beloved teddy bear and Henry's stuffed hippo as she sat beside a picture of the two boys.
"This vacation has been overdue. It's time to come home, and we welcome you home ... safely," she said, addressing Daniel Cleary.
"Your whole family is behind this, as is my whole family. We are working together, and we really want you to come home."
A person at the Crossland Austin West hotel in Texas had been watching CNN, recognized the Cleary brothers and called 911, said Austin police Lt. Wuthipong Tantaksinanukij.
After getting that tip around 5:11 p.m. CT, officers went to the hotel and, as "they started setting up, saw the suspect coming out of one of the rooms with the two children," Tantaksinanukij said.
"He was taken into custody without further incident," said the police spokesman, noting Daniel Cleary is now at the Williamson County Jail.

The first victim was found lying on a sidewalk in the rain. The second was murdered in her own apartment building. Police lieutenant Eve Dallas had no problem finding connections between the two crimes. Both victims were beautiful and highly successful women. Their glamorous lives and loves were the talk of the city. And their intimate relations with men of great power and wealth provided Eve with a long list of suspects - including her own lover, Roarke.
As a woman, Eve was compelled to trust the man who shared her bed. But as a cop, it was her job to follow every lead...to investigate every scandalous rumor...to explore every secret passion, no matter how dark. Or how dangerous.
©2004 J. D. Robb; (P)2004 Brilliance Audio
"Great Listen!!!!!!!!"
Eve is at it again. Once again Roake is pulled into the investigation, because of his relationship with the woman that have been killed. Even though it is a little like the 1st book in that aspect, it is still different. With Susan as narrator this book just couldn't go wrong or be bad. She does an excellent job with the many different voices, especially Roakes. I would recommend this audio to anybody!! Would recommend also to read Naked in Death 1st. Just helps with understanding Eve's & Roake's relationship & their backgrounds.
"Ericksen Steals the Show"
I've only been hooked by one narrator before and that was Scott Brick. I considered Brick to be in a class by himself, that is, until I started listening to Susan Ericksen's narration of the Death series. Ericksen is every bit as good as Brick and possibly better. I've now purchased 17 Death books and have consecutively listened to 9 (putting nearly 30 others in my library on hold). Though all the stories take place in NYC, 40 years from now, Robb is not writing sci-fi. Though 2050's Earth-bound technologies and societal changes are believable, his very brief references to farming and resorts on planets, moons and/or space stations are not believable. Luckily, they're easy to overlook since all the action takes place in NYC. Though Robb's "who-Done-It" plots are well constructed and well written, they're totally dependent on the interplay between his 2 main characters, Lieutenant Eve Dallas and her Irish-accented, billionaire husband, "Rourke." Not only does Ericksen give them great voices and take them through an incredible range of emotions, she does the same with the entire range of both the ongoing support and story-specific characters. She does male voice so well, it's impossible to believe that there isn't an ensemble cast of readers. Perhaps the only downside in Robb's writing is the frequency and intensity of Eve and Rourk's lovemaking. While each encounter is beautifully written and read, the frequency of them stretches credibility of it. People who are so tired they can barely walk up stairs and so emotionally drained from seeing disemboweled bodies, do not make love and have multiple orgasms, 2 and 3 times a day.
"Eve Dallas In Death Series a must for everyone"
I have read each of the books in the series now I am going back and listening to each book. It only gets better each character is perfect. The narrator has the voice and inflections and quirks of each character. This is an amazing series and it is read phenomenally. Great writing, great characters and great reading! It does not get any better then this!
"JD Robb murder, outstanding reader"
Futuristic setting for crime stories written by Nora Roberts as JD Robb. Engaging characters, fast paced and good in written or audio format (have both). Though not a graphic "adult" style, some scenes are unsuitable for children so don't listen in front of them.
The crime story in this book stands on its own, even if you have not read book 1 Naked in Death to get the full understanding of who the two main players. But each later book builds on these earlier books so it is best to read in order. Some things are recapped or referred to in this novel to help the story but does not bog you down in a long recap of events.
The reader is excellent. Several distinct character voices throughout the book, easy on the ears and well suited to this series. Will check out other items by this reader.
"True Nora Roberts style"
This is going to be a really good series - the story line is strong and the characters are believable "if you can assume living in 2050 somewhere" however the main focus to me is the relationship that Eve has with Rourke - you want to need hear more to see how this develops and how they are going to work things out.
Narration fantastic!
Already downloading book 3
"Early Days In Death"
This is a very good audio production. As such it reveals the talent of both author and narrator near the beginning of their collaborative efforts. An extra bonus is how the story sets in place rich character interaction. These bonds will be cause for years of enjoyment on the part of the listener. I agree with a friend that one part was very graphic. But it is the sort that any romantic heart would long for and enjoy. Death however is less poetic. The authors descriptions are swift, the turns are sharp and the story will have your questioning your analysis. In the hands of this skilled narrator you will love Detective Dallas, see the face of Feny, and want the head of the killer on a poke. Either that or you'll discover you are as zoned as a chemihead, If you have a heart this early JD Robb book will touch it. Else consider this your annual psych eval.
"Great read!"
Just started reading Nora Roberts under this pen name, a colleague recommended her. What a great mixture of mystery, suspense and sci-fi. I enjoyed the character Eve. I've already purchased the next five books in the series.
"Love it!"
My second J.D Robb book - I really like this series. Easy read and fast pace - love the relationship between Eve and Roake
Mystery reader (especially series) and Austen lover
"Dallas and Roark Proceed"
In this second In Death story, Eve's relationship with Roark deepens, both personally and professionally. Two prominent women have had their throats cut, and they both have ties to Roark, which creates friction in the personal relationship. Needless to say that problem gets solved, and Eve successfully corners the killer, a man who harbors hatred for women with power and fame. There's a great suspense ending involving a knife fight in the dark. Since this is a series, you know that Dallas and Roark will always come out top, but J.D. Robb makes each adventure different enough, and exciting enough, to keep the reader interested.
As other have suggested, it is a good idea to read at least the first several books in the order of publication, in order to follow the progression of Eve and Roark's relationship, and to follow the appearance of new continuing characters in the series and their gradual progression through the ranks. For instance, this book marks the first appearance of Delia Peabody, Eve's future partner in the Homicide Detective Division, as a uniformed officer at one of the crime scenes.
I like Robb's invented future and the history behind it. And I especially like Susan Ericksen's narration. Excellent!
I am 81 years old. I did not know I had signed up for a monthly fee. I am on a pension and cannot afford the monthly fee.
"Another good read about my favorite characters."
There is no doubt that it is because of the narrator Susan Ericksen that that one becomes so involved in these books.
She makes the characters come to life and makes you feel you are at the scene looking and listening to each as they talk.
She is so good at having a voice for each person as apposed to someone just reading a book to you.
Eve as she is so down to earth.
Every bit of it she is so good.
You have got to see it and experience real drama.
I have read 5 of this series and will be buying all of them

Corey Moss has closed out his career as an Upson-Lee football player and a tremendous career it was. He was the Knights' starting quarterback for the past two years after getting some valuable playing time in 2010 behind starter Tay Matthews. His name is scattered throughout the Upson-Lee record book and that brings to mind an arguable question.
Is Corey Moss the best football player in Upson-Lee history? Please understand that I am not suggesting that Moss should be anointed as such, but I wouldn't be asking the question if the possibility hadn't crept into my mind. How good was Moss compared to former Upson-Lee players?
Maybe you don't compare players and if that's true then you can forget the remainder of this column. If you are willing to give the idea some consideration; however, I will give you some fodder for discussion.
Moss finished his career as the 4th leading career rusher in UL history with 2,697 yards and as the 6th leading career passer with 1,136 yards. That may not look too impressive until you consider that he is one of only two players who are in the Top Ten on both lists. Travis Gaines is the other and he was a three-year starter. Moss also ranks 4th in career touchdowns scored with 30.
His 1,501 rushing yards in 2012 is 2nd on the all-time single-season UL list and his 20 touchdowns in 2012 are tied for the most in a single season for the Knights. His 491 career rushing attempts rank 4th in UL history, and he holds the top two spots in single-season rushing attempts with 238 in 2011 and 236 in 2012.
Only ten times in Upson-Lee history has a Knights' runner rushed for over 200 yards in a single game and Moss had four of those games. His top career performance was a 261-yard outing against Jonesboro this year. That ranks 2nd on Upson-Lee's all-time single game list. Moss started 21 games in his final two seasons at Upson-Lee and he rushed for 100+ yards in 15 of those games. That's consistency.
Moss was a tough and durable player. A perfect example of that occured during his sophomore season in 2010 when, as an unknown commodity, he was called on to replace an injured Matthews in the Knight's Homecoming Game against Harris County. Moss was injured in the second quarter but refused to leave the game and played the remainder of the contest with a broken collar bone. The Knights won the game 3-0 in overtime and Moss' performance was an inspiration to both his teammates and coaches. It was the first real sign of how tough this kid was.
Another sign of his toughness and durability is that he rushed 474 times and attempted 239 passes during his final two seasons. That means that Moss was in possession of the ball 713 times and he lost only 6 fumbles. That doesn't take into consideration the fact that, as the quarterback, he handled the ball on numerous other plays where he handed off to another back. On top of that he returned kickoffs and punts during his senior campaign. He took hit after hit but he just wouldn't cough up the ball.
Moss had speed as well as toughness and elusiveness. If he got into the opposition' secondary, chances were very slim that he was going to be caught. He had 7 touchdowns runs of 60+ yards in his career.
Every opposing coach knew that Moss was the key to the Knights' offense and that stopping him was the key to stopping Upson-Lee. He entered every game as a marked man, but nobody really stopped him. He wasn't afraid to run the ball between the tackles and take the pounding that resulted from running into much bigger players.
Moss was also an exellent representative of the UL football team. He never danced around, strutted, pointed to himself, or made any attempt to draw any attention to himself. He was a team-oriented player who always gave 100 percent.
OK, those are some of the reasons why Corey Moss could be considered to be the best in UL history. This young man just did so much and meant so much to his team. There may be some negatives, but I don't know of any that would deflect from the positives that I have mentioned.
There have been some really good players in UL history. A few who come to mind are Willie Kendall, Tyrone Perry, Antroun McDaniel, Alex Collier, Laquentin Lamar, Logan Winkles, Tunde Fariyike, Eldred King, Tommy Watson, Marcus Harvey, Charlie Walker, Ben Lowe, and others. Of course it is always tough to compare offensive players to defensive players.
I think Moss could be the best of this bunch. What about you? As one who has watched every play of every Upson-Lee game over their 21-year history, I feel that I have a unique persepctive in considering this possibility. I'll not so far as to definitely put a stamp on Moss as the best in Upson-Lee history but I will say that, overall, he is as good as I have seen in the black and silver. Does that make him the best?
Congratulations to Corey Moss on a great high school football career. It was a pleasure to watch him play every Friday night. I hope that he will get an opportunity to continue his education and football career at the collegiate level. He is certainly deserving and colleges are really missing out if they don't consider him for a scholarship. I'm sure that he will represent his school and hometown well at the next level.
Good Luck Corey!

I use this sander almost every day for a year. It does a great job on wood, drywall or floors. It collects 80-90% of wood dust and 55-60% of the dust if you work on a drywall. Should mention, that if you attach the sander to a shop vacuum you will have a dust-free work area. Very good balancing of the motor. Hands don't get fatigued after 2-3 hours at all. The reason for 4 stars is that after a year the plastic dust bag connection is a bit loose and there is a small dust leak. P.S. It would be good if Craftsman would supply some kind of bag or a box for the tool. I think that for Professional tool it is a necessary addition.

This sander is everything I hoped it would be. It powers through sanding jobs without shaking my hands off, the dust collector connects right up to my shop vac, and the 8 foot cord making moving around much easier than my other sanders do (5-6 ft cords on those). I don't really have any complaints about this sander. I'm 100% happy with it, though I was surprised they didn't at least include a freebie disc of sand paper in the box. Didn't matter since I already had some, but I figured I'd throw it out there so people would know what to expect.

This is the first time I have owned a orbital sander. It is well worth the money and I love the stick on pads. The dust bag works very well and catches almost all the dust with very little getting in the air.
Cordova, TN
After 6 month of heavy use of this sander I am convinced that this tool is professional grade. I should compliment low vibration that allow me to work 4-5 hours before I feel numbness in my wrists and good dust suction. Additional good feature of this sander is the variable speed which lets you to control how hard and how deep you are sanding. The only suggestion I have is that the tool should come with some kind of bag where you can keep the sander and paper together so you can carry it around.

I had no problems with it. My shop vac hooked right up Gotta love it.

Orbital sander works very well, however the velcro like fingers which hold the sandpaper to the tool wear down under "professional" use, i.e., average of a couple hours a day, 5 days a week, and that piece part needs to be replaced. Mine lasted a little over one year so it was just beyond the manufacturer's warranty which would have allowed me to just pick up a new sander and hand in the unusable old one; instead I had to use my extended replacement warranty which I originally bought, and they shipped it back for free, but I was without a tool for 2 weeks, and finally they sent a gift card for the original $ amount instead of the tool. Went to use it for the tool, and they were out of stock for the tool. They ordered it and it came in within 3 days, but as a "professional", if I didn't have multiple sanders, I would have been out of business for more than 2 weeks! The weakness of this particular piece part renders this tool to be a handyman's occasional-use tool and doesn't warrant the "professional" label. The other problem it has is the dust catcher bag lasts only a few months before the vibrations of the sander loosen it up to the point where you have to duct-tape it to the sander to keep it from falling off. Those are two major design flaws this sander has.

very happy with this sander, like the fact that you can hook your shop vac to it to keep the dust down.

Shakespeare: Staging The World
This major exhibition is presented in collaboration with the Royal Shakespeare Company. It will revisit William Shakespeare's stories and tell them anew to London in 2012.
400 years ago, the playhouse dominated society, from the lowliest groundlings to kings and queens. Spanning the Elizabethan and Jacobean eras, Shakespeare used the playhouse – an exciting new way to present drama – to showcase his own particular take on history and contemporary cultures from across the world.
Maps, prints, drawings, paintings and tapestries will sit alongside arms and armour, books, coins, medals and much more. These objects will show the world that Shakespeare knew, highlight his importance at the time, and reveal how one man's work has such a universal appeal. As well as the fantastic range of objects drawn from the British Museum's collection and across Europe, contemporary performance will also bring Shakespeare's world to life.

Childs says he's been walking without assistance for a while and working daily on strength and range of motion in his legs. He says he's fully confident he'll be able to return to the game next season. Analysis: Childs appeared in the locker room on Monday during a break before a rehabilitation session at the team's practice facility, making his first public comments since the freak injury a week into training camp. Childs was drafted out of Arkansas in the fourth round. |

Coach Leslie Frazier said Childs was having surgery Monday. Analysis: The fourth-round draft pick from Arkansas was hurt Saturday at the end of a scrimmage, when he tried to jump for a pass. The Vikings placed Childs on injury waivers Monday, a procedural move before they put him on injured reserve. Frazier says Childs was distraught but determined to come back and play next year. |

Drones might be a source of political controversy because of their role in "targeted killings" in places like Pakistan and Yemen. But a children's toy version of the deadly unmanned aircraft has been a big hit on Amazon.
A six-inch metal model of the Predator RQ-1, listed "for ages 3 and up," has attracted attention in recent weeks because of satirical user reviews celebrating the merits of teaching toddlers about "flying death robots." Some users angrily complained that the toy should be removed because it was "inappropriate," and soon after it became "unavailable" for purchase.
But a spokesperson for Amazon told me by email this week that the item wasn't removed from the store - in fact, it sold out. At the time of writing, only one of the mini drones is currently available for sale via a third-party seller on the Amazon Marketplace, for an inflated price of nearly $50. (They normally retail for between $5-$10.)
To most parents, buying a small child a model drone to play with is probably not an appealing prospect, hence the avalanche of negative reviews on the Amazon product page. The use of drones for surveillance on American soil is currently prompting a nationwide backlash.
Perhaps more than anything else, the toy Predator is an acute example of how drones are becoming embedded in Western culture. The replica, manufactured by a California-based subsidiary of Hong Kong's May Cheong Group, is part of a series of toys made as part of a line called "Tailwinds," which also features fighter jets, stealth bombers and an Apache helicopter.

International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks (Nice Classification)
The Nice Classification (NCL) is an international classification of goods and services applied for the registration of trademarks and service marks. It was established by an international, multilateral agreement concluded at a Diplomatic Conference held in Nice in 1957: the Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks.
The Electronic Forum has been available since May 2010. It has been developed in order to facilitate the process of submission and discussion of proposals for changes to the Nice, Vienna and Locarno Classifications by the countries of the respective Unions and by certain organizations specialized in the field of trademarks or industrial designs. Access to the information posted on the electronic forum is open to the public.
The 23rd session of the Committee of Experts of the Nice Union will be held in Geneva, from April 22 to 26, 2013. The Committee will discuss proposals for changes to NCL(10-2013). Such proposals are available on the electronic forum, www.wipo.int/nef , projects NI001 to NI013.
The 2013 version of the 10th edition of the Nice Classification is now available online. It entered into force on January 1, 2013. Please, note that the paper publication has been discontinued, the 10th edition published in 2011 being the last printed edition.
The annual versions of each edition of the Nice Classification are available in the authentic languages only, i.e. in English and in French. At the request of interested national trademark offices, the International Bureau will publish official texts in other languages for the new editions only. The next, 11th edition, will be published probably in 2016.
For more information about editions and annual versions, see "Nice News" below.

The scale, friend or foe?
By Nancy Klobassa Davidson, R.N., and Peggy Moreland, R.N.
13 comments posted
Most of us struggle to achieve and maintain a healthy weight as we get older. If you're overweight, you can reduce the risk of pre-diabetes by losing weight — even 5 percent to 10 percent. If you have diabetes, weight loss can improve blood glucose control and reduce medication requirements.
"The Mayo Clinic Diet" book recommends you weigh in twice a week and keep a record. Most weight loss programs don't recommend weighing in daily because weight fluctuates somewhat day to day. Daily weighing can be discouraging and isn't an accurate indicator of weight loss.
Morning is usually the best time to weigh yourself, because variations in food and liquid consumption affect weight through out the day. Shoes and clothes can add 3-5 pounds.
Use only one scale to base your weight loss and leave it at that. There are two types available — digital and mechanical. The digital scale generally has larger numbers and is easier to read. Mechanical scales with needle dials are more fragile, seem to wear out faster, and tend to be less accurate than digital scales. Professional scales found in gyms and doctor's offices tend to be more accurate than those designed for home use.
Check out "Consumer Reports" or "Good Housekeeping" for reviews on the best scales.
How often do you weigh in? Do you love or hate your scale, or maybe it's just the numbers? Remember, your weight loss efforts are more than just a number; it's a focus on a healthier life.
Regards and have a good week,

Thank you Tvor, for satisfying my curiosity - but oh dear - almost - no, I DO wish I hadn't asked now!!! (it's the neck of lamb bit - even though I KNOW neck is economical and "tasty" if cooked for long enough - ninety years maybe?? and "soaking up the fat" and "lumps forming" don't help!!) Where did I put my Rennies?
- 5 February 2010 10:59
- Tvor said...
I'm sure you could use less oil in the pan and use beef or leg of lamb instead!
- 5 February 2010 11:54
Yuk...was this recipe ever tested? It sounds pretty awful...the meat will dry out and there doesn't seem to be enough spices or condiments for a tough cut of meat placed for that long in the oven even if it is covered!
sorry, just my impression on the recipe - 5 February 2010 11:58
- seapenguin said...
Right - I've got a spare "few hours" this weekend so I'm going to try this out - but bearing leccy bills in mind it'll be the "modified version" i.e. not "neck"!
- 6 February 2010 13:58
I will try this out in the slo-cooker which doesn't dry out the meat but will be using lamp chops, not neck. Fatty dishes like this may have been ok years ago but are not seen as healthy today.
