The Derek Jeter Farewell Tour is officially underway as the New York Yankees kicked off their season in Houston against the Astros. It's probably not the start Jeter or the Yankees were hoping for, but the real kickoff for the captain's final season won't begin until the first home game at Yankee Stadium. Due to Jeter's announcement before the season started, New York Yankees tickets have seen a rise in price on the NYY Ticket Exchange across the entire season. The home ticket average this season is $142.70, up 42% from last year's home average of $100.19. Along with an increased season average, many meaningful individual games have seen significantly raised prices on the secondary market. The five games, two of which are on the road, will be some of the most meaningful games on the 2014 Yankees schedule for the shortstop's final season.
4/7 vs Baltimore Orioles | Avg. Price: $165.45 | Get-in Price: $40
Jeter's final Opening Day at Yankee Stadium on Monday comes at a 16% premium over the season average. The game will have a 1:00pm start, giving plenty of time for pre-game ceremonies early in the afternoon, though any Jeter-specific ceremony will likely be planned for the end of the regular season.
5/15 at New York Mets | Avg. Price: $155.65 | Get-in Price: $58
The Yankees will play the Mets in a four game series with two games at Citi Field and two at Yankee Stadium. The game on the 15th will be Jeter's final game in Flushing. Citi Field isn't technically the site of Jeter's first-pitch home run in Game 4 of the 2000 World Series, but this game still represents final chapter for Jeter in the cross-town rivalry. Yankees vs Mets tickets for this game at 75% above the Mets home 2014 average.
6/27 vs Boston Red Sox | Avg. Price: $148.53 | Get-in Price: $35
This game isn't a last like the other games on this list, but it will be a first. Jeter will turn 40 years old on June 26, on off day for the Yankees, making this game his first as a 40-year-old player. Since 1950, only Ozzie Smith, Barry Larkin and Omar Vizquel have made 100 plate appearances in a season playing 50% of their games at shortstop at age-40 or older. Starting with this game. Jeter will try to become the fourth member of that list. This game also has the added benefit of having the lowest get-in price for Red Sox tickets versus the Yankees this season.
9/25 vs Baltimore Orioles | Avg. Price: $547.79 | Get-in Price: $142

Veritas Gathered: Liturgy Recap – Sunday September 13th, 2015
Welcome to the recap of the songs, hymns and readings of the Veritas worship gathering on September 13th, 2015
L: Come, bless the Lord with me! Let's sing his praise together.
C: For our lives are in God's hands and it is he alone who keeps our feet from stumbling.
from Psalm 66
L: God of all glory, we confess that it's so easy for us to get caught up in religious routine and neglect your heart for justice, mercy, and faithfulness. We confess that we use our own brokenness as an excuse to ignore the needs surrounding us.
C: Lead us to repentance and break our hearts of our pride and arrogance. As we grasp the immensity of grace freely given to us by Christ's death on the cross, compel us to be active participants in Your grand narrative of redemption and love. May Your Spirit lead us to demonstrate the gospel in all that we do. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our Savior, Amen.
Song: "If No For Your Grace"
Our sermon was preached by Nick Nye, entitled "Vision for Veritas", from John 14.
Song: "No Condemnation"
L: Jesus' death brings us life and this meal reminds us that we are fed by Jesus and forgiven because of Jesus.
C: We rejoice that You have died, have risen, and are now with the Father advocating for us. Amen.
L: With our money, time, and talent we give generously, knowing that through Your Son, Jesus, You have generously given to us.
C: We rejoice that You have given everything and we joyfully give everything back to Your care. Amen.
L: This is the call that we have as the redeemed church:
C: Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
L: As you go, proclaim Jesus in all that you do and say, teaching others of his grace and mercy.
C: We go resting in the words that Jesus spoke to us: "And behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
Based on Matthew 28:18-20
Song: "Jesus Is"
May the glory of God consume our entire lives as we live in his grace and go forth to share the gospel of Jesus! Go in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Peace be with you!

Port chairman says snafus with land-division meeting underscore need for change
It's time for the Town of Port Washington to consider appointing a clerk rather than electing one, Town Chairman Jim Melichar said after a series of snafus regarding the scheduling of a meeting on a proposed land division last week.
"In the past, we made sure we had the materials before scheduling a meeting," she said, adding she notified supervisors Jim Rychtik and Mike Didier there would not be a meeting but couldn't reach Melichar.

Earlier this month, Team Zoe's Joey Maalouf traveled with some close friends to the gorgeous island of Capri. Joey attended Dolce & Gabbana's couture presentation then spent some well-deserved downtime exploring the fairy tale-esque town in all of its beauty. Read on for Joey's tips on navigating the island and taking full advantage of all it has to offer–think delicious dishes, splurge-worthy shopping opportunities and a seriously chic beach club you must visit next time you find yourself jet-setting to this dreamy destination.
3 Reasons To Visit Capri Today
Joey's Island Itinerary
The Food
"Fresh seafood dishes and the most delicious pastas imaginable dominate the menus in Capri. We couldn't get enough of the lemon linguine from our favorite restaurant on the island, Restaurante Da Paolino."
The Shopping
"Shopping in Capri is unlike anywhere else in the world. The island houses some of the greatest linen stores in the world, plus must-visit designer boutiques located in quaint buildings alongside 'mom' and 'pop' shops. We found it impossible to leave the island empty-handed; picking up a pair of handmade leather Capri sandals was a must."
The Beaches
"Since the island is essentially a giant rock in the middle of the Mediterranean, Capri's "beaches" are more like flat areas along the water with small cliffs you can dive off. With a lack of proper beaches, beach clubs tend to be the way to go. Our favorite beach club was the fabulous La Fontelina, where Dolce & Gabbana held their latest couture show."

In the Emperor's New Clothes section of this site, we take a look at things that are generally accepted as fact or conventional wisdom, that are neither (like in the story).
Randall with xkcd.com tells it:
About Columbus
Meanwhile, the Oatmeal (Matthew) put together the best easy-to-read treatise on Columbus, based on Howard Zinn's work, which dispels the "facts" in favour of realizing he & his men were murderers & thieves & child-rapists.

Game mods are usually associated with PC games, but on a modded PS3, it is possible to move and alter files to create game modifications as well. People (especially gamers) are always going to try what's possible and so many players have already been hard at work creating mods for GTA V on the PS3.
In fact recently a Youtube channel called "GTA5Videos" uploaded a video of Grand Theft Auto V being played with a first-person mod in effect. Seeing Los Santos from a first-person perspective is a fresh and beautiful experience and we highly recommend you check it out for yourself in the video clip below. This is definitely an impressive feat for console modding.What do you think? Should first person view become a standard feature in GTA games?

We're shaking things up this month, and are hoping it allows a few more folks who are interested to catch up with everyone; meeting for lunch!
When: Tuesday, Sept. 10 @ 12:00 noon
Where: Hibachi Grill & Supreme Buffet (map)
Here is their website: http://www.hibachigrillbuffetpa.com/
Prices seem decent, and they also have a coupon for 10% off: http://www.hibachigrillbuffetpa.com/coupons.htm
Be sure to sign up
so I know how big of a table to get!
Location and Directions
I'm pretty sure the posted address and the Google Map on their website is wrong. This place is right off of Rt. 22 where the Kmart is/was. You take the 191 exit, turn left, and then turn right into the plaza after-the-McDonalds/at-the-light.
It's a left off the exit regardless of the direction of travel on Rt. 22.
Re: Location & Directions
Yeah, if you just search 3811 Linden St., it's somewhere else, but if you search it by name, it shows this location, which is correct.
I was there a few weeks ago... it's just to the left of the Kmart.
Unfortunately I won't be able to make this meetup though since I'll have class :(

Itching and IBD (part 2): Histamine Intolerance
Hello…Hello…Hello! Is there anybody out there?
I feel a little like Pink Floyd in that it's been a long time, nearly a year, since I've written, and if there is anyone left subscribing to my blog, I applaud your patience. The last time I wrote, I promised a series on itching and IBD. It's been a difficult topic for me to explore and I'll briefly tell you why:
- I needed a break from blogging. I promised when I started that I wouldn't succumb to fluff. You know what I'm talking about—that by-the-title looks-really-interesting article which has absolutely no substance at all. It leaves you hungry. Like whipped cream, it tastes great but lacks nutrition. Making every article concise, precise, well researched, and useful takes more work and more energy, and with the onset of increased rashes, brain fog, and sleepless nights, I just didn't have the energy. I know—excuses, excuses.
- There isn't a great literature out there explaining the origins and treatments for itching and IBD. Given the little that's written about it, and given that I've been suffering from five years of nearly ubiquitous itching, I needed time to experiment and journal before I felt I could write about it in a way that kept with my 'no fluff' philosophy.
There you have it, my not-so-great excuses for nearly a year of silence. I hope you'll pick up with me and we can keep healing together.
Before you start reading: Itching and IBD are two difficult enough topics by themselves. Bring them together, and they are even more enigmatic. This is where you come in: if you have experiences, knowledge, remidies which have worked for you, please share them in the comments. If you see places where I'm just plain wrong, please add a correction in the comments—we will all benefit this way from your knowledge and experience.
Now on to the meat.
In my reading and experience over the past year, I've come across lots and lots of people who are suffering from infuriating itching as a concurrent symptom of their IBD. For some it seems cyclical (it comes and goes), for some it's constant. Whether yours comes and goes, or comes and stays the first message I want you to hear: You're not alone.
Lots of us deal with itching, rashes, and other histamine symptoms as a result of or as exacerbated by IBD. This may not be of much solace as you're covered in wet towels on your tenth sleepless night, but it's what I can give.
Histamine Intolerance
I chose to write about histamine intolerance because it's the most likely explanation for the largest population of IBDers with itching. Chris Kresser did a nice piece on histamine intolerance on his blog. There is also a good post on MindBodyGreen. These are good primers to what I am about to discuss, but aren't specific to IBD and both left more to be said, in my opinion. I recommend you read them.
What is Histamine Intolerance?
According to Maintz and Novak1, histamine intolerance results from a disequilibrium of accumulated histamine and the capacity for histamine degradation. In other words, when the amount of histamine in your body exceeds your capacity to get rid of it, you get the symptoms of histamine intolerance. Really the term "histamine intolerance" is a misnomer; I see nothing in the literature that tells me that people actually become intolerant of the essential neurotransmitter, histamine; rather the body just gets overburdened with it for one reason or another. It should be called "Histamine Overload", or something more accurate. I'll use the common term for this post, but now you know: I don't like it.
How do I know if I have Histamine Intolerance?
If you have chronic itching, rashes, swollen or runny sinuses, allergy symptoms that just won't go away, you may have histamine intolerance. Here's a quick way to test: If you react to red wine, fermented food, or cured meat, you've increased your confidence that histamine intolerance may be an issue for you. You can also try a low histamine diet for 2-3 weeks to confirm; if your symptoms get better, then you've done something right (!).
Here are a few of the symptoms of histamine intolerance as outlined by Chris Kresser:
- Pruritus (itching especially of the skin, eyes, ears, and nose)
- Urticaria (hives) (sometimes diagnosed as "idiopathic urticaria")
- Tissue swelling (angioedema) especially of facial and oral tissues and sometimes the throat, the latter causing the feeling of "throat tightening"
- Hypotension (drop in blood pressure)
- Tachycardia (increased pulse rate, "heart racing")
- Symptoms resembling an anxiety or panic attack
- Chest pain
- Nasal congestion and runny nose
- Conjunctivitis (irritated, watery, reddened eyes)
- Some types of headaches that differ from those of migraine
- Fatigue, confusion, irritability
- Very occasionally loss of consciousness usually lasting for only one or two seconds
- Digestive tract upset, especially heartburn, "indigestion", and reflux
I know for me, I've always experienced allergy-like symptoms—all of my life, even before colitis. Even in my earliest memories, I had runny nose, swollen sinuses, and a touch of asthma (which I grew out of). My father has the same tendency; so does my brother.
Why do I have Histamine Intolerance? (What are the mechanisms at play?)
There are four mechanisms at play here. One or a combination of these may be relevant to you.
- Genetic Downregulation of the Histamine Breakdown Enzymes: There are two main enzymes which degrade histamine in your body, histamine N-methyl transferase (HNMT, or HMT) which works to break down histamine in the central nervous system, and diamine oxidase (DAO) which works to break down histamine in the gut and ingested histamine. A mutation in the pathway of either can cause too little of one or both of these enzymes to be produced in the body, which would lead, over time, to an accumulation of histamine. So if you're deficient in DAO, you likely have symptoms of histamine intolerance.
- Environmental Downregulation of the Histamine Breakdown Enzymes: A nutritional shortage of the precursors (vitamin B6, copper, and vitamin C) to these enzymes can be a cause of too little DAO or HNMT being produced. Also, certain drugs block the action of DAO (ask your doctor, if you think this may be going on).
- Causes of Low DAO
- Gluten intolerance
- Leaky gut
- Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)
- DAO-blocking foods: alcohol, energy drinks, and tea
- Genetic mutations (common in people of Asian-descent)
- Inflammation from Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
- Medications:
- Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (ibuprofen, aspirin)
- Antidepressants (Cymbalta, Effexor, Prozac, Zoloft)
- Immune modulators (Humira, Enbrel, Plaquenil)
- Antiarrhythmics (propanolol, metaprolol, Cardizem, Norvasc)
- Antihistamines (Allegra, Zyrtec, Benadryl)
- Histamine (H2) blockers (Tagamet, Pepcid, Zantac)
- Causes of Low DAO
Although histamine blockers, a class of acid-reducing drugs, seem like they would help prevent histamine intolerance, these medications can actually deplete DAO levels in your body
- Inflammation of the gutàleaky gut: Leaky gut from chronic inflammation, through mechanisms you can read in the cited paper below, releases histamine forming compounds that would otherwise stay in the gut mucosa, leading to an increase in total body burden of histamine.
- Therapeutic Probiotics: Oh boy.
- This is also why those of us with histamine intolerance cannot tolerate fermented foods. Indeed, I can't even smell yogurt or sauerkraut without getting hives. The same thing happens with your therapeutic probiotics—they form histidine, and increase your total body burden of histamine. This would be okay, if our bodies could properly process, or otherwise had a lower burden of histamine.
- Chris Kresser suggests that bacterial histamine (really histidine, a precursor to histamine) release may be due to SIBO. This is fine, but it doesn't have to be SIBO. We know that probiotic bacteria (e.g., lactobacillius) form generous amounts of the histamine precursor, histidine, during the fermentation process. Those of us who take therapeutic doses of lacto-fermenting bacteria for Crohn's or colits can have the same elevation in histamine without having SIBO.
A fifth I might add here is heavy metal toxicity. There isn't a lot of scientific literature out there to explain why people with, for example, mercury toxicity often experience itching. There is, however, a ton of clinical observations if you visit the mercury chelation/mercury toxicity healing forums. More about mercury in the future.
Hey, why didn't you mention food?
Food is definitely a factor in controlling and alleviating the symptoms of histamine intolerance, but it is not a mechanism, in that certain foods can increase your body burden of histamine because they form or carry histamine forming compounds. Probiotics are kind of in this category, but I added them above because they are a ubiquitous natural treatment for IBD; thus, most of us cannot avoid them in some form.
One of the therapeutic options we have for treating histamine intolerance is a low histamine diet. Decreasing your intake of histamine rich or histamine releasing foods is a good way to begin to get an idea if histamine intolerance is your issue. Try it for 2-3 weeks and see if your symptoms get better. Below are a few lists from MindBodyGreen2 to get you started in looking at your diet for histamine levels. Click here for a more detailed look at the low histamine diet.
Histamine-Rich Foods:
- Fermented alcoholic beverages, especially wine, champagne and beer
- Fermented foods: sauerkraut, vinegar, soy sauce, kefir, yogurt, kombucha, etc
- Vinegar-containing foods: pickles, mayonnaise, olives
- Cured meats: bacon, salami, pepperoni, luncheon meats and hot dogs
- Soured foods: sour cream, sour milk, buttermilk, soured bread, etc
- Dried fruit: apricots, prunes, dates, figs, raisins
- Most citrus fruits
- Aged cheese including goat cheese
- Nuts: walnuts, cashews, and peanuts
- Vegetables: avocados, eggplant, spinach, and tomatoes
- Smoked fish and certain species of fish: mackerel, mahi-mahi, tuna, anchovies, sardines
Histamine-Releasing Foods:
- Alcohol
- Bananas
- Chocolate
- Cow's Milk
- Nuts
- Papaya
- Pineapple
- Shellfish
- Strawberries
- Tomatoes
- Wheat Germ
- Many artificial preservatives and dyes
DAO-Blocking Foods:
- Alcohol
- Energy drinks
- Black tea
- Mate tea
- Green tea
Low-histamine foods:
- freshly cooked meat, poultry (frozen or fresh)
- freshly caught fish
- eggs
- gluten-free grains: rice, quinoa
- pure peanut butter
- fresh fruits: mango, pear, watermelon, apple, kiwi, cantaloupe, grapes
- fresh vegetables (except tomatoes, spinach, avocado, and eggplant)
- dairy substitutes: coconut milk, rice milk, hemp milk, almond milk
- cooking oils: olive oil, coconut oil
- leafy herbs
- herbal teas
Therapeutic Options:
- Low histamine diet: It's a good option. I covered this above. Try it with a detailed food/symptom journal for 2-3 weeks and see if your symptoms improve.
- Heal inflammation, leaky gut, SIBO: Duh. This is what everyone with IBD is trying to do—it's the basis for my blog. That said, it's still key—and the most difficult to do.
- Supplement with DAO: There are a couple of DAO supplements available, Histame, Daosin, and Histamine Block (the most potent). Supplementing with DAO helps to break down histamine in the gut, from food, and so in theory should over time reduce your total histamine burden. My theory (caution(!) this may be blatantly wrong) is that DAO may also help with the histamine produced by taking probiotics.
- Nutritional Support: Supplementing with the precursors to DAO and HNMT (vitamin B6, copper, and vitamin C) will ensure your body has the building blocks for adequate enzyme production. Just one thing: don't supplement copper without the supervision of a doctor. Also, decreased histamine has been reported with high dose vitamin C supplementation.
- Phototherapy for dermatitis, rashes, vitiligo: Though not a root cause fix, focused UV-B is a common treatment for atopic dermatitis (aka, eczema), rashes, psoriasis, and vitiligo. Phototherapy can provide serious symptom relief for itching. In fact, phototherapy is the only effective treatment for itching from kidney disease. The light moderates the immune response in the skin. You need a dermatologist for this one.

BEAUMONT – Lamar University will play a 55-game baseball schedule next spring highlighted by visits to Vincent-Beck Stadium by Rice University, Gonzaga, Illinois and the PAC-12 member University of Washington.
The Cardinals will play perennially-tough Baylor twice in the Baylor Classic in Waco, and they will also tangle with national power LSU in Baton Rouge, La.
Coach Jim Gilligan's Cardinals will open their slate against Portland on Feb. 17, on the first day of the annual Lamar Classic, which will also feature former Southland Conference and American South Conference rival Arkansas State. On the next weekend (Feb. 24-26), the Cardinals have Gonzaga and Illinois coming to town for the annual YMBL/Cardinal Classic.
While still on the tournament trail, the Cardinals, who are coming off a 29-27 season, will meet Cal-Irvine and Baylor twice each in the Baylor Classic during the weekend of March 2-4. They will then follow that event with a March 7 game at former conference rival Louisiana Tech.
"It's a good schedule, especially early in the season," said Jim Gilligan, who has accumulated 1,206 victories in his 35-season career as a college head coach (34 at Lamar). "We're going to be playing some really good people at home and away.
"Baylor has a great tournament lined up with us and Cal-Irvine coming in to play the Bears, who are always competitive. I feel like we're going to be a talented team this season, but we're going to be inexperienced early.
"We're going to have to do some growing up fast. The schedule is going to be a good test for us. It's a little tougher than normal, but it'll help us become a better team by the time conference play rolls around."
The Cardinals, who went 15-18 in the Southland Conference last season, will open their 33-game league schedule with a three-game series at the University of Central Arkansas, beginning on March 9. The Cards' first home league action will be in a three-game series against UT Arlington, beginning March 16.
Lamar's annual home-and-home series with national power Rice has the Cardinals challenging the Owls in Houston's Reckling Park on March 21 and the Owls paying a visit to Vincent-Beck Stadium on March 25.
The Cardinals will play at Houston's Cougar Field on April 10, but the Cougars will not come to Beaumont this season, as has been the recent custom.
The Cardinals also have a non-conference home game against Washington on March 20. It will be the first meeting between the schools in baseball.
The Cardinals, who own a 5-1 series advantage over LSU, will meet the Tigers for the first time since 1995 in an April 18 game in Baton Rouge.
If the Cardinals can again finish in the top eight of the 12-team league, they will advance to San Marcos where Texas State will serve as host for the 2012 SLC Tournament on May 23-26. Last year's Cardinals went 0-2 in the 2011 tournament, a year after sweeping their way to the tournament championship and an NCAA Regional berth in 2010.

40 percent of Germany's electricity demand from Solar last weekend
Germany produced 22GW of electricity per hour, meeting over 40% of the country's midday electricity needs. The
Renewable Energy Industry
(IWR) estimated this equaled the amount of power generated by 20 nuclear power plants.
Director of IWR, Norbert Allnoch, said, "Currently there is no other country on earth, with solar power plants producing a capacity of over 20,000MW of electricity. Germany came close to the 20GW mark a few times in recent weeks, but this was the first time we made it over."
The electricity demand in Germany in the diurnal cycle follows a bell curve, i.e. little power is needed at night, daytime demand for electricity increases steeply until noon and by evening falls evenly again. Allnoch said, "It is often underestimated, that the sun brings significant power if and when it is needed most."
According to
, Germany has nearly as much solar power generation capacity as the rest of the world combined, with 4% of its overall annual electricity needs from the sun alone. It aims to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 40% from 1990 levels by 2020.
Since the Fukishima disaster last year, German Chancellor Angela Merkel overturned policy on nuclear last year, having already decommissioned six nuclear plants with the remaining to be shut down by 2022.
Allnoch said, "This shows Germany is capable of meeting a large share of its electricity needs with solar power. It also shows Germany can do with fewer coal-burning power plants, gas-burning plants and nuclear plants."

Hundreds of motorcycles roared into Sheffield city centre as part of a justice and awareness demonstration for bikers.
More than 300 bikers joined the protest, organised by the Motorcycle Action Group, which began with a motorcyclist convoy on Saturday.
Police officers escorted the large group of bikers between Meadowhall and Tudor Square in the city centre, where they gathered for a protest talk.
The aim of the event was to raise awareness of the high number of motorcyclists being knocked off their bikes by drivers, and to campaign for heavier punishments for those responsible.
Director of MAG, Neil Liversidge, who has been a biker for more than 40 years, led the demonstration.
He said: "We want justice for motorcyclists – bikers need a fair backing from the courts when they are a victim on the roads.
"It's not fair to say we put ourselves in the firing line by being bikers.
"Drivers today are too easily distracted by things like mobile phones and in-car entertainment, and so aren't always looking at what they should be.
"We aren't asking people to do the impossible, just to pay more attention to bikers when on the roads.
"We are ramping up awareness of our campaign and we will continue to push until we get the improvements we are looking for."
The Sheffield event was one of nine demonstrations taking place in major cities throughout the UK, including London, Glasgow and Cardiff.
Among the bikers who had travelled to the Sheffield event, from areas including Barnsley, Doncaster and Castleford, was Joylon Lawson, from Driffield.
He said: "The turnout has been fantastic and South Yorkshire Police did an excellent job of escorting the convoy so we all arrived here smoothly."

Flavoursome Festival Brings New Work to the Highlands
By DAVID ROSS HIGHLAND CORRESPONDENT
THE fourth Blas festival opens in Inverness tonight . . . and in Strontian, Raasay, Glenelg, Ullapool, Nairn, Lochinver and Wick as well.Because Blas - Gaelic for taste or flavour - is all about delivering a modern festival to village halls in some of the most remote and peripheral communities in the land .
The event grew out of Highland Council's desire to create a new festival for the Highlands which would match the vitality of Cape Breton's Celtic Colours Festival, and Fisean nan Gaidheal, the organisation which promotes community-based Gaelic festivals throughout Scotland, helped develop it.
The week-long Blas continues the progress it achieved in the first three years, with tickets selling at almost double last year's record levels.
This year there are 45 events featuring acts such as the Chieftains, Phil Cunningham and Aly Bain, the Glenuig Macdonald brothers and Julie Fowlis.
Fowlis, who has achieved international acclaim for her work, is to provide an exclusive opportunity for her audience to hear a new collaborative album she has completed with Irish singer Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh and renowned musicians Eamon Doorley and Ross Martin.
Festival director Donna MacRae said yesterday: "Blas is showing that taking a festival out into the communities of Scotland can deliver economic and cultural benefits " Blas would continue to make a virtue of featuring homegrown talent alongside internationally- renowned traditional musicians, she said Meanwhile culture minister Linda Fabiani commended the decentralising agenda of the festival: "Blas demonstrates the very best of our traditional music and takes this straight to the heart of Highland communities.
"This Government supports a strong, diverse and confident cultural life in Scotland - and the Gaelic language and culture is right at the very heart of this."
In Inverness on Saturday, there is a very special event with the performance of Dealbh Dthcha (portrait of the country), Scotland's only representation in the Portrait of a Nation, a Heritage Lottery funded project that brings together 17 cities throughout the UK.
The work was commissioned from Highland composer and artist, Blair Douglas and will be performed by 30 of the young musicians, singers and dancers from the Highlands & Islands Fisean.

Anti-aging technologies may extend human life spans, but living longer may bring social and economic challenges, says a California researcher.
Biologist Shripad Tuljapurkar of Stanford University said the combined impact of these medical advances would have major implications for the global community in the new century.
Tuljapurkar estimated that between 2010 and 2030, the modal, or most common, age of death will increase by 20 years from roughly age 80 to 100 if anti-aging therapies come into widespread use.
"It's staggering to think about the fiscal effects of this," he said. "One thing that happens right away, which nobody seems to have thought of, is that the total global population increases dramatically ... from 8 billion we end up topping out at 10 to 11 billion."
Tuljapurkar, the dean and Virginia Morrison Professor of Population Studies, will present his findings at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in St. Louis.

"We must help girls fight all the obstacles in their lives, and stand up and speak bravely and overcome the fear they have in their hearts," Malala Yousafzai said at a private dinner held by the Hudson Union Society this past Friday night, August 15th, which I was honored to attend.
And she should know. One of the most inspiring figures of this century, 17-year old Malala has recovered from being shot in the head in 2012 by the Taliban in the Swat Valley of her native Pakistan...because she wanted to go to school, and advocated that in a blog for the BBC when she was 11. Today, not only has she recovered, she has proven to be a model of resilience, courage and abiding strength for girls, women, and citizens in the Swat Valley, and worldwide.
Not only has she refused to be silenced; not only has she withstood bone-wrenching pain, fear, and possible disfigurement (she looks pretty terrific, if you ask me), but she she has grown more powerful through adversity. (Take a look at her speech in front of the UN on her 16th birthday, the first "Malala Day," and I defy you to keep a dry eye.) Her voice has grown clearer, finer, stronger, and more inspiring. And like those global leaders she resembles -- The Dalai Lama, Aung San Suu Kyi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa -- she stands as a beacon for those -- especially girls -- who find themselves targeted, beleaguered, belittled, attacked.
Embattled world take note: a 17-year-old girl may just be able to guide us out of some of this mess we're in. And she has taken her voice to social media, so it may well reach far more broadly than any other girl's...short, perhaps, of Joan of Arc.
As the First Vice Chair of Girl Scouts of the USA, I have been pondering for years how we can help our American girls learn strength coupled with kindness; courage coupled with character; teamwork coupled with mutual respect; and empowerment coupled with compassion. Well, frankly, Malala encompasses it all. What a role model, for girls, for women, for boys, for men, for leaders.
She has gone through a refiners' fire that continues unabated for so many girls and women around the world. Unable to, or discouraged from going to school; subject to child marriage, enslavement, and unchecked intimate violence; with intellects belittled, demeaned, and disrespected, many girls around the world face a special kind of hell. Witness those young women abducted in Nigeria by boko haram -- whom the world has been unable or unwilling to rescue.
But Malala, empowered by a clearly remarkable father and mother (her father, Ziauddin Yousafzai, accompanied her on Friday, and spoke brilliantly), can begin to show girls a way out...no matter how dire their circumstances. In fact, she just returned from a trip to Nigeria and Kenya, and her charity, The Malala Fund, is now working on programs and places to help some of those who escaped captivity begin to recover.

In a word. No.
A better question might be "Can Helmets Prevent Brain Injury?" Same answer – No.
It is not currently possible to develop a helmet that can protect all persons under all foreseen and unforeseen circumstances. But, given current medical understanding of head and brain injuries as well as 21st Century advanced materials, it is certainly possible to protect most people from life-threattening brain injuries under foreseen circumstances.
Helmets are actually intended to protect against blunt trauma injuries to the head. They are not specifically designed to prevent brain injuries.
The mechanisms which cause head and brain injuries are quite different. Forces associated with linear accelerations are responsible for visible injuries, such as lacerations, contusions and skull fracture. Whereas, brain injuries, including concussions, axonal injury and subdural hematoma are caused by forces associated with angular / rotational accelerations. When the head impacts a surface, the skull may come to an abrupt stop, but inertia acting on the brain will cause it to continue to move This inertia strains the nerves and blood vessels of the brain, causing injuries. The type of injury is dependent on the magnitude of this strain and the time duration over which it acts on the brain.
Helmets may indeed reduce the rotational forces acting on the brain. But since helmets are not currently certified according to their ability to protect against brain injury the level of protection is not standardized. Hence, it is possible to sustain catastrophic brain injuries, even while wearing a helmet.
I have performed extensive biomechanical testing of helmets for various applications, including military, motorcycle, football, skiing / snowboarding and cycling. My testing involves measurement of both linear and angular accelerations, thereby characterizing helmets in terms of their ability to protect against head and brain injuries. Results vary substantially between manufacturers that offer helmets for particular applications and between applications. Based on my testing to date, I can report that certain football helmets seem to outperform helmets in other categories in terms of their ability to protect against head and brain injuries.
Much research has been conducted to understand and quantify biomechanical thresholds for various head and brain injuries, including skull fractures, concussions, axonal injury (damage to nerve fibers in the brain) and subdural hematomas (bleeding in the brain). Why then don't all helmet manufacturers strive to provide necessary protection?
There are certain intrinsic or personal factors that might increase one's risk of head and brain injury, but for the rest of us, why do helmets provide inadequate protection against life-threatening head and brain injuries during reasonable or foreseen use?
One example of this is the life-threatening brain injury which former Formula One superstar, Michael Schumaker sustained when he fell while skiing and impacted a rock. It has been reported that Mr. Schumaker was only skiing at about 13mph when he fell and the likelihood of impacting a fixed object while skiing, such as a tree or rock is certainly not unforeseen. So why did his helmet fail to provide necessary protection?
Advanced materials certainly exist to provide required protection for normal persons, including Mr. Schumaker and many other unfortunate victims, under normal or foreseen circumstances. As end-users, we must demand that regulatory organizations require helmet manufacturers meet standards that protect persons who are not otherwise at heightened risk from head and brain injuries due to foreseen circumstances.

Once Upon My Imagination
- Artist: Jim Lachapelle the Storyteller
- Genre: Children's
- Release Date: 3/14/2006
Jim LaChapelle, a storyteller from Wilmington, MA., has enchanted audiences of all ages for the last 15 years. Using an array of wonderful voices and colorful characters, his works dance into your imagination. Whether on a grand stage, close and personal or by a roaring campfire, his stories draw you in and envelop you with adventure, horror, laughter and surprises as he tells Stories from Around the World, European Folk & Fairy Tales, and original stories. Jim's tales are entertaining, offering interesting lessons to ponder. In 'Seven Silly Fellows,' Jim introduces listeners to seven goofy but good natured siblings who can't seem to retain their attention while taking a dip in the lake. His vocal jubilation and animation in this piece encourage smiles and set listeners in a great mood for the rest of the production. In many of his stories, Jim repeats phrases, which though often silly, are sure to invoke amusement in child and adult alike. For example, in the second story, 'Tikki Tikki Tembo,' Chan must race through the town trying to tell everyone that his brother is drowning - but his brother's name is so long, it takes all his breath just to get it out. His longest story, 'The Heartless Giant' is a twenty-minute tale of curious Prince Leo who accidentally releases a heartless giant who causes great harm. To correct his mistake, Leo must persevere through several adventures and sacrifice everything to save his kingdom. This story delivers the most powerful performance, as Jim aptly executes young Prince Leo's struggles. The CD has two more stories that are just as much fun as those already mentioned. Once Upon My Imagination will leave listeners bemused and delighted with this storyteller's skill. For hundreds of years, high courts of royalty enjoyed many a minstrel's riveting performance. Though storytelling nowadays is considered youth-oriented, it can be exciting enough to enthrall any listener in this world of manufactured entertainment.

Ricky Gervais on Golden Globe Awards Routine: No Regrets!by Hilton Hater at . Comments
During an exchange with reporters last night, Tom Hanks said he could remember "when Ricky Gervais was a slightly chubby but very kind comedian." Chimed in Tim Allen: "Neither of which he is now."
Indeed, not every Golden Globe attendee enjoyed the host's routine at the ceremony, the first 10 minutes of which you can watch HERE and almost all of which included jabs at nominees, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and even religion at one point.
How did Gervais feel about his performance? After the event, he told The Los Angeles Times:
"I hope everyone took it well... I hope they can all take a bit of roasting from a nobody like me. Did I think twice about any of [the jokes]? No, I didn't. I'd say any of that to their faces, I'd walk up to them and say it. That's the test for me. And it's in good fun."We've compiled a handful of the comedian's zingers below. Think any of these crossed the line?
- "It's going to be a night of partying and heaving drinking - or as Charlie Sheen calls it: breakfast."
- "Everything this year was three-dimensional, except the characters in The Tourist. I feel bad about that joke. I'm jumping on the bandwagon, because I haven't even seen that movie. Who has?"
- "Do you want to go see Cher? No. Why not? Because it's not 1975."
- "There were a lot of big films that didn't get nominated. Nothing for Sex and the City 2. I was sure the Golden Globes for special effects would go to the team that airbrushed that poster."
- "Also not nominated I Love You Phillip Morris. Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. Two heterosexual actors pretending to be gay. So, the complete opposite of some famous Scientologist... My lawyers helped me with the wording of that joke."
- "Our first presenter is beautiful, talented, and Jewish apparently. Mel Gibson told me that. He's obsessed. Please welcome Scarlett Johansson."
- "Who are our next presenter from such films as Hudson Hawk, Look Who's Talking, Mercury Rising, Color of Night, The Fifth Element, Hart's War. Please welcome Aston Kutcher's dad, Bruce Willis."
- "Next up, Eva Longoria has the daunting task of introducing the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press. That's nothing, I had just had to help him off the toilet and pop his teeth in."
- "I love this next presenter; he's so cool. He's the star of Iron Man. Two Girls and a Guy. Wonderboys. I'm sorry are these porn films? Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Bowfinger? Up the Academy. Come on! He has done all of those films, but many of you in this room probably know him best from such facilities as The Betty Ford Clinic and the Los Angeles County Jail. Robert Downey, Jr."
- "And thank you to God. For making me an atheist."

Sometimes going out for a run can be a bit of a drag with many of us lacking the motivation to get off the couch. That could all be about to change with a new running app called Run An Empire that is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter.
Put simply, the running app lets you capture real world territory by running, jogging or walking around it. The more you go around your territory, the more it becomes yours. There's a catch: other players can capture your territory from you by also running around it. The result is that you need to keep active to maintain your territory and stay ahead in the game.
By adding the play element, suddenly going out for exercise isn't such a drag, but actually fun.

|Reviews for Valde Incompertus Silva
| Thomas Harvey chapter 8 . 6/21/2016
As a person who's read a lot of fan fiction, I find that this one is really good when giving the reader a visual on the world of the games. Medigirl and "Shishou" being friends at least is also a nice touch to the promotional materials.
That said, the Latin titles do sound kinda pretentious, unless there would be a translation of what it is next to it. Other than that, there aren't many complaints I can find.
Considering this hasn't been updated since '08, it's a bit of a shame that this stopped updating, but this happens sometimes.
| Nano111Desu chapter 3 . 10/22/2010
I rather like this story...
| Aztek chapter 8 . 3/23/2010
It's been years since this has been updated, but I just want to add that I really enjoyed the story so far
| blackrogue123 chapter 6 . 3/23/2008
Wow, that last outing went well for them! Sorry about reviewing late, I've just been really busy. Hope you update soon!
| Drawman chapter 6 . 3/17/2008
Well, I noticed that this chapter hadn't been reviewed yet, so I decided to be the first.
One of the things that really stands out about your work is how you manage to stay true to the nature of the game without sounding like you're just narrating someone playing it. You bring your own story to it, which makes it that much more enjoyable to read. There are too few authors that put that kind of detail into their work, but those of you that do are well worth looking for.
| blackrogue123 chapter 5 . 1/17/2008
Cool! I didn't know there were any etrian fics out here. It's really good story, I look foward to the next update!
| Lavi chapter 5 . 1/5/2008
Great story. I had not realized there were any actual fan fictions for one of my favorite games.
I hope you continue the story, it is very interesting.
| Salvadora11 chapter 4 . 10/27/2007
Ah, I was wondering what happened to Franz and Ewan. And I feel sorry for that kid that got taken hostage. Talk about traumitizing. o.O lol
A nice addition. Makes me wonder if you're planning on having a guild of more than 5? :O
I await the next chapter, but don't be too quick. I don't want to fall behind. :P
| Salvadora11 chapter 3 . 8/30/2007
Good chapter. I like how the characters interact with each other, and how you're able to do the whole 'omniscient' thing with everyone. I have to work on that...
The satchel and the clearing made me laugh, but perhaps you should make some new scenarios? :P
| Alec chapter 3 . 8/29/2007
Good Cliffhanger update soon
| Salvadora11 chapter 2 . 8/22/2007
Hey! I'm writing an Etrian Odyssey fanfic too! Does that make us rivals? Haha...
I like the story so far. I found the intro kinda confusing with all the character development right away. I'm not saying that's bad, but I lost track of all the names. That might just be my bad memory. But anyways, this chapter cleared most of that up. It was much more straightforward. I'm gonna go back and read the intro again so I don't miss something important.
I like how you used the Guildmaster's quote, I was gonna do that, but the opportunity never presented itself. :P
| The Silent Knight chapter 2 . 6/30/2007
I just Bought Etrian And I think you,ve done a really good job of writing it so update soon
| Tac'nd chapter 2 . 6/20/2007
Awesome, they're on their way now. I can't wait to see them fight an FOE. XD
| Tac'nd chapter 1 . 6/9/2007
High five for Etrian Oddessy! Looking forward to reading the rest of this.
| Lemurian-Girl chapter 1 . 5/30/2007
Hm, this might prove to be an interesting one.
Now this really isn't pertinent to the story, but being the nitpicking Latin student I am, you'll have to excuse me. The title is all right, except valde is an adverb (and I'm not sure if you meant it was a greatly unknown forrest or a great and unknown forrest), and grammatically it isn't really correct. Magna Incomperta Silva would be better. Though since the majority won't know either way, it's not something you have to change. As for the prologue title: I call together a band of fortune? Maybe? I don't know; I'll leave it be.
"– and the next morning, a huge crevice in the land that led into the strange forest, situated just on the outskirts of the sleepy town of Etria." What about the huge crevice? You don't really give a verb to that subject, and it leaves it hanging.
You seem to be enjoying using dashes. Don't over do it. Where a comma will work, put a comma. Especially before your conjunctions. Too much of it can get redundant and fail to get the point you want across.
You set up the characters and atmosphere very well though, giving them each their own section to be introduced. I love the dialogue. Some of the exposition comes a little too much at a time, but for the most part, it is smooth. And it's very detailed in a very interesting way.
But Franz and Amelia? There have got to be other names. You're beginning to get a tad too predictable. XD
Good work!

The Online Education Initiative (OEI) is a far-reaching, $57 million state-sponsored project that launched in December 2013. The first allocation was $16.9 million, and $10 million is slated to be forthcoming each year over four more years.
California's legislature and the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office have outlined some specific requirements that the OEI must respond to and meet.
A primary goal of the OEI is to create a sophisticated online education framework that can be utilized by all 112 community colleges in California. Within that framework, key elements of the OEI will include a common course management system, support for transfer degrees online, support for basic skills instruction and facilitating credit by exam, among others.
Comprehensive Online Environment
Overall, the OEI will leverage all the progress to be made by the Common Assessment Initiative (CAI) and Education Planning Initiative (EPI), as well as the critical mass of online courses and programs already in place at California Community Colleges, to provide comprehensive resources to students, faculty and staff system wide.
"The plan is to do it more cost effectively through centralized contracting or procurement or, in some cases, integrating services, such as assessment and orientation, for example," said Joe Moreau, vice chancellor of Technology for the Foothill-De Anza Community College District and co-executive sponsor of the OEI. "We can build on the success that we already have as a system.
"Some of the main components of the OEI are to essentially establish a consortium and a governance model for how colleges can come together and collaborate and cooperate with each other on how we might expand capacity for online instruction," Moreau continued. "The grant also has an emphasis on making sure we are doing things that recognize the specific needs of under-represented and under-served populations of students, and making sure we can close the achievement gap between all student demographic groups."
Initial Task: Course Management System
A consortium is being formed to collaborate on developing a new CCC course management system, among numerous other objectives. The OEI steering committee and work groups are currently collecting and evaluating applications from colleges throughout the state that want to participate in this development.
Consortium members are expected to be announced this summer, and "We anticipate a common course management system to be identified in the fall of this year," noted Steve Klein, the statewide program manager for the OEI. In addition, there is a student services work group and a faculty professional development work group, along with a prevailing goal to create an environment for students that will enhance and clarify articulation and transfer agreements between all state community colleges and universities.
"We are not operating in a vacuum, and the OEI is certainly not a top-down operation," added Tim Calhoon, director of the CCC Technology Center and co-executive sponsor of the OEI. He emphasizes that the initiative is highly participatory in nature, with colleges throughout the state ultimately being the decision makers. "The pilot colleges are going to be most affected by the common course management system. They will be the deciders."

Emma Watson, a brilliant research physician, has been training for years for the mission of a lifetime: to study living beings in space. Jack McCallum, Emma's estranged husband, has shared her dream of space travel, but a medical condition has grounded and embittered him. He must watch from the sidelines as his wife prepares for her first mission to the international Space Station.
Once aboard the space station, however, things start to go terribly wrong. A culture of single-celled organisms known as Archaeons, gathered from the deep sea, are to be monitored in the microgravity of space. The true and lethal nature of this experiment has not been revealed to NASA. In space, the cells rapidly multiply and soon begin to infect the crew - with agonizing and deadly results.
A recovery attempt ends in catastrophe: the NASA shuttle crashes, killing all onboard, and the space station is left dangerously crippled. Emma struggles to contain the deadly microbe, while back home, Jack and NASA work against the clock to retrieve Emma from space.
But there will be no rescue. The contagion now threatens Earth's population as well, and the astronauts are left stranded in orbit, quarantined aboard the station - where they are dying one by one....
Written with an exacting eye, Dr. Tess Gerritsen ensnares the imagination with Gravity, her most steely, unforgettable thriller yet.

"She is better than Plamer, better than Cook... yes, even better than Crichton." (Stephen King)
"A different kind of Gerritsen"
I've read/listened to a lot of Tess Gerritsen books and I do really like her writing. This was the first one however read by a man. At first I wasn't sure but when I got used to his voice, I began to really enjoy listening. The story itself was very different from Gerritsen's usual work, but I found her description of life on the International Space Station fascinating. The whole space theme was brilliant and brought a claustrophobic intensity to the plot. Well written and well read; I can thoroughly recommend this book.
"A riveting listen"
I've enjoyed many of this author's detective Rizzoli novels and so was surprised at this completely different style of book. It's a fast-paced thriller with the characters in severe jeopardy as a mutant life-form contaminates the orbiting space-station. The multi-layered story encompasses the hazards of space travel, biological science, medicine, governmental secrecy and the power of human love. There is enough accurate medico-scientific detail to make the scenario scarily convincing and I couldn't stop listening as the riveting story unfolded.
The narrator conveyed the anxiety-provoking tale with panache,
I listened to this book in 3 days. it was an unexpected story from Tess but it definatley satisfied from start to finish. I highly recommend this book.
It's not very often I write a five star review but this is one of those times. I first heard of the author when she was a guest on the Art Bell show.
I was moved at how she had been treated over the handling of this book and subsequent film. Enjoyed the film and got the book knowing it was significantly different.
It was. Basically a totally different story.
In this one the ISS becomes the subject of a terrible calamity.
Well reasearched, brilliantly written and the narration superbly done. This is one audiobook I may just come back to.
"Brilliant !!"
Loved this story. Kept me gripped from start to finish.
The narrator was very good
"Gravity- original"
Yes- wonderful original story. Inventive and riveting. The character portrayals are realistic and draw you in and, [I don't want to give any clues away] I was taken by surprise many times in the book. I became totally absorbed in this book and had to keep listening until I had finished it. I would really recommend it.
It's originality. It's unlike other scifi books. At least I hope it's scifi!
I haven't listened to any others but his performance was excellent.
Lots and lots of places but I cannot think of one I can right about as this book would be really susceptible to 'spoilers'! The close relationship between various people is often very moving.
Buy it.
"Not what I expected"
This was a very well written story that kept me listening, waiting for the next chapter to find out what happens next. The differences between Earth and the Zero gravity environment of the International Space Station are well written and the author has done a great job of building the suspense as the story progressed.
The challenges of working in zero gravity are well understood and explained by the author.
"Gravity - Tess Gerritsen"
This was my first novel that I chose to download as a audiobook, to listen to while walking and what a fantastic book it is. As I walked, I was drawn into space and the fight for the characters. I felt at times I was up there in space with them. So worthwhile and the narrator Campbell Scott has a lovely voice. I loved the way he gave the characters spirit, while my imagination still created my visual pictures to match his voices. Will definately buy more audiobooks now.
"A book with so many themes"
This book is so good in so many ways. It covers so many themes of such varying subjects but still manages to blend them together. There is basically a love story, a space story and a medical story and each is covered in a brilliant read that progresses at an exciting pace. I have read other stories from the author but they do not match the quality of this. It is also very well narrated.
Highly reccomended
"Left wanting more"
A sign of a great book!
Well worth a read folks enjoy it. Would have made a great series..
"Enjoyable science, awesome ending!"
STORY (sci-fi) - Emma is a scientist aboard a space station, and her soon-to-be-ex-husband Jack is an earthbound physician. When a mysterious alien infection kills members of the space station, Jack and NASA try to figure out how to rescue and/or cure the astronauts. I liked the shuttle launch, the space station setting, the lab tests and the medical procedures throughout the story. The author is a doctor, so the medical stuff is probably pretty well-founded. I also enjoyed the characters, especially the relationship between Emma and Jack.
The alien infection does some pretty gross things to humans, so the listener must be okay hearing some guts and gore. The story is fairly suspenseful, then rocks into high gear for the finale.
PERFORMANCE - Good job.
OVERALL - There is no sex in this book but there is a sprinkling of F-words, used mostly in stressful situations. The symptoms and death throes of the infected astronauts are, as I said, pretty gross. If you're okay with that and a little cursing, I think anyone who likes sci-fi would enjoy this book.
"Fast Paced Thriller"
Gravity the book is NOT to be confused with Gravity the movie---as they are not related in any way. As Tess Gerritsen says, "if the movie is based on my book, nobody told me about it." The stories are similar in only one way --both about a female medical doctor on a space station.
Tess Gerritsen is well-known for her medical thrillers, and this one is no exception. It kept me interested from the first heart pounding opening scene (I literally was holding my breath) which starts out far from space--on the ocean floor. A scientist is studying extremophiles, which are organisms that live in extreme conditions, and the ocean floor in this particular area qualifies--180 degree temperature near the funnels that come up from volcanic activity below. Claustrophobics --be warned!
The space station crew are all doing research of one kind or another on different effects of anti-gravity on organisms, which cannot be done on earth. One of the experiments goes terribly wrong, and the resulting illness which starts as blood red eyes and gets worse from there, starts infecting the crew. Dr. Emma Stone does what she can with her limited supplies, but is not able to pin point the cause of the illness until too late to contain it. I can only say that it would be better to die immediately, than to go through what the virus does to the body.
Overall this story is well written and gives the listener a lot to think about. It is a mix of science fiction and scientific biology -with a theory about what could possibly really happen. There are some "human interest" areas - yet not enough depth to care much about most of the people--but that isn't what this book is about.
I would have given 5 stars, but knocked one off for some of the narration. When the narrator was reading particularly tense or scary parts, he turned into a speed reader- I guess to convey the "gravity" (ha) of the situation. Also, not the best with women's voices. However, the overall narration was good, and I would not let it keep you from listening to this interesting thriller.
"Medical, semi SiFi thriller nicely written"
Tess Gerritson works are usually 'Robin Cook' types of 'medical mystery with a touch of romance' novels, but this novel dips subtly into Science Fiction with action taking space on an International Space Station.
Gerritson is a doctor so her medical terminology is realistic sounding, however, she doesn't get too carried away with it. This was my first audio book of hers and I believe I enjoy her work much more listening to it rather than reading.
Character development is well done,We get to know the protagonists and antagonists- though Gerritson isn't one for a lot of involvement in what characters are secretly thinking..shes more plot and medical stuff orientated in her writing.
The plot is exciting and builds to the tense ending with the addition of more and more medical information as the novel progresses. Throw in a couple of NASA shuttle launches to the space station, an independent 'little guy' builder of shuttles trying to get investment funding, an unknown disease discovered on board the station, the unexpected death of a station team member who seems secretive, and a suspected terrorist plot and I had just about everything necessary for a 7+ hour listen that kept me involved.
One note though...Audible lists this as being read by Campbell Scott, but it was actually read by William Dufris. Dufris narrated the book well though I personally prefer Campbell Scott's narrations of any book. In any case, the narration was well done and though Dufries seemed very excited in the exciting parts, it wasn't overly dramatic.
Well worth the credit.
"Nail biter with slightly disappointing end"
The action flowed and pulled me through, I found myself looking for chores to do as an excuse to listen more. The character development was amazing and you really got the sensation of the cramped quarters of a modern space station. The science was fun and didn't ruin the suspended disbelief.
My one negative comment is that the end seemed a little lackluster, otherwise this story would have gotten 5 stars all the way.
Audiobook close to eleven hours of listening, narrated by William Dufris. If you are looking for a book based on the movie of the same name, this is not the same story. The movie is regarding space junk slamming into the space shuttle. This book is the story of a deadly pathogen that has infested the International Space Station.
This is a worthy listen. Tess Gerritsen did a considerable degree of research, or if not, has a terrific imagination. Technical errors will slip right by the average reader (listener), or anyone not schooled in medical science or space station environmental detail.
The lead character is the team doctor, astronaut Emma Watson. Her husband has washed out of the astronaut program due to a minor health issue and has the typical male reaction … they're in the process of divorce. In an effort to make the space station profitable, NASA is providing zero gravity experimental expertise to private companies. Astronauts conduct and monitor experiments in close collaboration with these companies and their scientists. One such project goes horribly wrong. Is this an accident, terrorism, a personal vendetta? Under the threat of a world pandemic and space station employees becoming infected, NASA fights not only the pathogen, but the United States military. From 19,000 feet below the ocean surface to orbiting the earth 250 miles above, thrills abound. Nice tension, unexpected events. Lots of goo and gore. Thus is the thrust of Gravity.
Very little profanity, always appropriately timed. No gratuitous sex scenes, a clean read.
Dufris is an excellent narrator. Great job with male and female voices alike.
Don't hesitate to provide as a gift. Stayed up too late! Enjoy.
"Awesome Thriller"
Fast Paced, Thrilling, Realistic
Jack is the person left behind however he remained strong.
My first one... but won't be my last. He has phenomanal story telling capabilites.
Yes - Felt like I was watching a movie.
What a great story and told so well by William!
"The sense of isolation was quite real"
Yes. I really liked this book, the author really conveyed the sense of isolation and tension that would be experienced on a space shuttle. As usual, Tess Gerritsen tells a great nail biting story.
Campbell Scott did an excellent job on all characters going beyond and above the listening experience, right down to yawning when required in the script, you really felt you were listening to a movie with many actors playing the parts not just one person reading the book. Well done.
"Gravity Sinks"
I purchased this title with few expectations. It struck me as a "candy novel"; something that can be fun, but contains little nutritional content. That's all I was looking for when I selected this novel, since I was looking only for a "filler" while I determined what I really wanted to read next.
For that reason, I was pleasantly surprised as the story began to unfold; the author was able to weave together an oppressive, eerie, claustrophobic atmosphere that pulls the reader in completely. The narrator, William Dufris, took this mood to the next level; elevating the story to a whole new experience that would have been impossible to achieve by just reading the text of the story. It was great.
As the story progressed, it leveled out into a plot that was good, but didn't fulfill the full promise the start of the book hinted at. I still enjoyed the vast majority of the book, despite the fact that (for me) it began to get too far-fetched by the time we reached the point that some of the story's mysteries were beginning to be explained. The book is currently listed under "Mysteries & Thrillers", and would be far better categorized as "Fantasy & Science Fiction".
The end of the story, however, was executed so poorly that it felt much like the story had been handed off to a different author to complete; an author whose past credits were limited to Lifetime Original Movies. I was extremely disappointed with the quality of the end of the story, and it was bad enough that it did impact my final opinion of the book in full. Even as a fun filler book to enjoy on a summer day off, I don't feel I can recommend this based on the last few chapters. It's a shame for a story that started off with such great promise.
"Don't get sick in space!"
No idea. I only listened to the audio version.
Pleased. ( Difficult to say anything that would not be a spoiler.)
Consistent characterization. He brought energy to the characters. Very good performance.
Some of the astronauts deaths ( particularly the first one ) was very intense and moving.
This offering caught me by surprise. It was more creative, interesting, and "different" than I would have otherwise thought. It does drag abit in terms of technical jargon, and could benefit from some more editing, but on balance it was very worth the time.
I was given a copy of this book by the narrator free of charge in return for an honest review through Audiobook Boom.
"Exciting, not as great as Stephen King claims"
Although it has the same name as the Sandra Bullock movie and features a female astronaut lost in space, it bares no relationship. It's a medical thriller set on the space station where a mysterious illness causes everything to go wrong that could go wrong. I read it because Stephen King listed it as one of his favorite books. It was solid and exciting from start to finish, but not great by any stretch. Bechdel test: pass.

Developer: Black Rock Studios
Release Date: 5/18/2010
Rating: Everyone 10+
Also Available On
The Good: Excellent sense of speed, destructible environments change the way you play racing games, cars look good, lots of tracks, fun multiplayer
The Bad: Repetitive, generic cars, PC exclusive bugs, no fun without a gamepad or wheel
Arcade racing games have always tried to do something new other than just adding new cars, tracks, and customizability. Racing games are trying to go beyond that with bringing in the environment and get more involved with the other opponents instead of just racing them to the finish line. Split Second tries to involve everything around you in the race and you really get the feeling that it is. The guys behind the hit sleeper Pure bring back exhilarating speed with top notch audio, visuals, and controls. The focus around Split Second is bringing the environment down around your opponents and get ahead in the race.
The way you accomplish this is by building up your power meter which has three segments. Doing drifts, shunts, jumps, or slip streaming will grant you this power. Activate the power when the icon appears above an opponent and BLAM! something's going to happen, but you have to watch out because you can wreck yourself doing this as well. You can start out by blowing up cars near opponents, but it's when you can level whole pieces of track on top of them that it really gets exciting. Having a landing plane come crashing down you and trying to drive under it's wing is pretty damn cool and has never been done before in a racing game. Watching huge towers fall down and block the path can really get your adrenaline going especially when you start getting ahead.
Yeah, the further ahead you get in the pack the bigger of the target you're going to be and the more you're going to have to watch out. I've never played a racing game before where I was actually afraid to be in first since everyone will be targeting me. There are several modes to keep this interesting such as time attacks, and an eliminator mode as well as others that have you dodging things, and even shooting back at helicopters.
You can unlock cars, and most of them vary depending on their stats but don't expect any real life cars here. These are generic and Burnout fans will already be used to this. Unlocking new episodes is rewarding and it keeps you playing through the long game, so you won't ever get bored.
The game looks and sounds great, but the PC version suffers from a bug that makes the music drown out the car sounds if you have any surround sound system at all. Also, playing the game on a keyboard is no good since you can't get precise control on your car. I recommend a gamepad for this or even a wheel if you have one. The multiplayer is what you would expect, and it a bit more intense thanks to the more clever human opponents.
Split Second is a racing game that really tries to define the genre and really does a good job doing it if only it weren't so repetitive. While the game is super fun it slowly wears off unless you play in short bursts. The game really could have built upon the destructible environment idea more and made it a bit more controllable. Despite this Split Second is a must for action racing fans, and you will walk away with a smile on your face and sweat on your palm.

The Best and Easiest Handmade Breads From Start to Finish in 1 and 1/2 Hours
Dear friends,
I have made handmade bread almost every day for the last thirty-nine years. We raised a family of nine children and they are mostly made of handmade bread. Being so busy with our children as they were growing up and having little money, I figured out a way of making bread that was not only nutritious and delicious, but also easy, fast and economical. I have taught our six daughters and hundreds of other people how to make bread. Many say it is the best bread they have ever eaten and the first time they have been successful making bread. Our twenty-four grandchildren all love our bread and some are now making it themselves. Our family now has three generations of bread makers who all use this method.
I have never seen bread made this way and have read hundreds of bread recipes and bread books. This method is unique and the bread is some of the best bread you will have ever tasted.
The instructions are simple and specific. All the yeast bread recipes are made with instant yeast. The ingredients are rapidly mixed together. There is a short kneading time and no first rising of the dough. The bread is shaped, raises and then baked. Every recipe can be completed from start to finish within one and one half hours.
I really thought I was done writing bread books. I have written two, but the enthusiasm I have found from many people still wanting to learn to make bread has only increased. Times are hard now for many people. Homemade bread is inexpensive.
I have been blessed to create better and easier recipes, so come along and join me in a new book on handmade breads. You'll find old friends and new friends and old ways and new ways to guide your bread-making journey.
All you need to do is to read and follow each individual recipe. All the directions are included in the recipe itself of the entire process of making that particular bread.
This book is available on Amazon.com It is called The Best and Easiest Handmade Breads From Start to Finish in 1 and 1/2 hours.
