"Illumination on the dark ages"
This book is volume 4 in the 11 volume Story of Civilization by Will (and later Ariel) Durant. It covers the approximately 750 years from the fall of Rome through the very beginnings of the Renaissance in the areas encompassing Eastern and Western Europe (including Russia), the Middle East and Northern Africa. It does not cover events in eastern Asia (China, India, Mongolia and other related areas) although it is clear about the influence of those regions on the development of what we now think of as Western Civilization.
The book is very long (the Audible version is more than 61 hours in length) and the breadth of things covered is simply staggering including the early development of Christianity, early Judaic and Islamic civilizations, the Byzantine world, Feudalism, Chivalry, the Crusades, the development of the Catholic Church, the regional structuring of Eastern and Western Europe into what are now the counties of Europe, the influence of Jewish and Islamic culture on Western culture, the rise of Papal power over secular, the Medieval philosophers, the reopening of education to the populace and the rise of what Mr Durant refers to as the Era of Reason. Along the way we are treated to a virtual smorgasbord of information.
Here we learn the origin of many of our common use English words (for example, dollar, grocer, credit, debit, cash, wedding, Latin Quarter and many, many more), we meet the saint and sinners of The Dark Ages, the origins of Medieval banking, the origins of some current city names and a wealth of other information. Along the way we not only are presented with new information but often we find that much that we already knew was wrong. For me, one of the very instructive parts of the book was the description of Feudal Society and here I learned that much that is current common knowledge about the rights and obligations of Barons, Knights, merchants and serfs was, in fact, wrong. Here also we see how and why Feudalism lost its hold on Europe and how the cities and the merchants grabbed and held power, slowing reducing the influence and power of the Feudal Lords, including the monarchs.
While I personally found parts of the book hard to get through I found other parts simply fascinating and often found myself listening to this book with the same interest and zeal as I might listen to a best selling thriller. Some stories, like that of Abelard and Heloise, simply break the heart. Others, like that of Dante, are inspiring and often humorous and the most important thing I learned from this book is that things were often not as I thought them to be. This book, written more than 60 years ago, was like a breath of fresh air clearing out the cobwebs of misinformation I had stored in my mind.
The book is narrated by Stefan Rudnicki and I was at first disappointed that it was not narrated by Grover Gardner, as the previous volume was. However Mr Rudnicki did a wonderful job and, because parts of the book are in Latin, German and Italian (with translations into English), I found myself appreciative that Mr Rudnicki was able to speak the languages in question so well. His voice and pronunciation seemed to perfectly fit the material.
In summary this volume is simply wonderful and, although you may find parts boring, as I did, you will likely find parts enthralling and very, very informative. If you have an interest in the period which we sometimes refer to as the Dark Ages (and which Mr Durant makes clear was really a bridge into the Renaissance) you should not go wrong with this book.
"I may read the whole series"
I buy a fair number of these military scifi books but rarely buy the second book in the series. Often I find the characters too one dimensional, the situations too far-fetched and the story too full of fighting. It may sound strange that I would complain that a war book contains too much fighting but, in fact, war is more than fighting. The underlying situation has to sound reasonable enough to believe, the characters have to seem real for me to have any empathy for them and the world outside the fighting has to be interesting for me to be able to enjoy the book. War is politics as much as fighting.
I bought the first book in this series quite some time ago and relegated this series to the same category as most other books of this type - once was enough. But about 6 months after the first read I re-read it and found, much to my surprise, that I was more interested in the characters than I had at first realized, so I bought the second book in the series.
It is the world surrounding the war that I find most interesting. The character of Michael O'Neal is interesting, the characters around him seem both realistic and worth meeting and the situation in which they find themselves, trying to save their lives in the face of an alien invasion and, at the same time, having to deal with their "allies" who cannot be trusted, to be a sufficient mix of reasonable and heroic to make the books worth reading for me. As with all of the John Ringo books I have read this one contains just the right amount of desperation and hope to leave me with a positive feeling in spite of the violence surrounding the main characters.
There are a lot of side characters whose stories do not seem to have a major effect on the main plot but I that this enriches the story. Most people's lives in time of crisis and war are important only to them and to those around them and do not affect the overall outcome. Thus, for me, the fact that there are secondary interesting characters who do not add to the main plot in a major way makes the book more realistic, not less interesting and their stories add flavor to the book and keeps it from being all war.
The narration is very good and the story flows well. I may read the whole series.
"Another delightful mis-adventure."
John Dortmunder scores his biggest prize accidentally. If it were anyone else they would be set for at least a nice vacation, but not Dortmunder.
The curse strikes again and John not only cannot get rid of the item but he has become a huge target for both the police and the underworld. He biggest goal is to somehow survive his "good luck" and live to see another day. What a hoot!
Donald Westlake has created a wonderful character with John Dortmunder and I have found every one of the first 5 novels well worth the time and money. I have not been disappointed with the characters, the stories or the wonderful finishes Mr Westlake has come up with. After a little rest (and some more serious books), it will be on to #6.
"A real disappointment"
I bought this book expecting an interesting story set against the Middle East during The Crusades. The story sounded interesting - King Solomon's gollums, some secret and a mythical creature. So much for expectations.
The story is very dark and I had a hard time getting through it. It is almost 8 hours and should have moved quickly, but it seemed to take forever for me to finish. While the first part of the book kept my interest, about half way through the story took on clearly unreasonable situations and I found it hard to continue suspending my belief. How am I supposed to believe that people with knives in the back (or chest) are hardly inconvenienced during fights? How am I supposed to believe that people with arrows through them can keep fighting without much problem? And does it really take half a chapter for someone with their throat cut to lose consciousness?
Wayne Farrell's narration is quite good, but he could not save the story. This was, for me, a disappointment. Your mileage may vary ...
"Almost great."
As with Inferno, Max Hastings has written a different kind of history of World War II, this one of the war in the Pacific theater. Like Inferno, this history provides an overview of the strategy and battles with details gleaned from personal letters, diary entries and recollections of those involved. All sides are represented with many such entries involving the Japanese, Chinese and Burmese as well as the western allies, and subjects not generally covered in histories of World War II are covered in some detail. Thus, in this book, we find details on what life was like for allied soldiers held as POWs by the Japanese, for western civilians held in internment camps, for the few Japanese held as POWs by the allies, random acts of compassion and violence committed by both sides, the thoughts of those involved in the fighting on places like Iwo Jima, Okinawa and other islands, the only detailed discussion of the Russian invasion of Manchuria right before the surrender of Japan that I have found in books like these, an extraordinary chapter on the decision to drop the atomic bomb as well as almost unknown incidents like those involving the Australian soldiers who mutinied and refused to be sent out on patrols and the Australian civilians who refused to load and unload war supplies on holidays and weekends during the last 2 years of the war when Australia was no longer under the threat of Japanese invasion.
The writing is engrossing and hard to put down, the stories of individuals both fascinating and horrifying and the truth of what life was like for those caught up in the war both clear and enlightening. While most histories of World War II have centered on the war in Europe this book makes clear that the war in the Pacific was just as difficult and painful for those involved, on both sides, as the one in Europe and Mr Hastings clearly shows how public opinion slowly turned from anger against the Japanese for their undeclared attack against Pearl Harbor into revulsion as stories of the treatment of allied POWs came out. Interestingly enough he also tells of the efforts by the allied governments to suppress the stories of Japanese brutality regarding the allied POWs.
As wonderful as this book is I only gave it 4 stars because Mr Hastings sometimes seems to let his personal opinions overwhelm the narrative. There are parts of the book where those opinions prevent him from presenting different, but valid, views on the subject. While there are many such examples I will mention only one.
Mr Hastings does not Douglas McArthur and that dislike seems lot color all of his writings concerning the general. Almost nothing McArthur did or planned (excepting his stewardship of Japan after the war) seems acceptable to Mr Hastings. He judges McArthur's invasion of the Philippines as unnecessary for the defeat of Japan and spends considerable time saying so. Even if one accepts his premise that the invasion was militarily unnecessary Mr Hastings does not even consider that there might be other valid reasons for the invasion. The Philippines was a US dependency and the people were largely supportive of the US governance and the planned granting of independence. Almost alone among the peoples of Japanese occupied Asia the Philippine people looked forward to a US invasion and would probably have considered the US bypassing them as a slap on the face. In addition there was the cause of the American and Philippine POWs held by the Japanese and the attempt to save their lives. As Mr Hastings makes very clear, Japanese surrender did not mean the safety of US POWs and many were killed by their captors after Japan surrendered. In addition Mr Hastings blames the terrible loss of life of the Philippine civilians, killed by the Japanese during the invasion, as being as much due to the invasion as to the Japanese - an assumption I found both unreasonable and prejudicial.
Mr's Cameron's narration is very good and helps keep the narrative foremost in view. However he has the very annoying habit of mispronouncing the word "corpsman". In American English this is pronounced KOR-MAN but Mr Cameron constantly pronounces it KORS-MAN. It is extraordinarily annoying and ruined parts of the narration for me. I have to assume that he does not know the proper pronunciation since the word is American and refers to the medical enlisted men in the US Marines. Regardless, it is annoying.
"A bit of a disappointment"
I found this to be a difficult book to read and to review.The plot sounds like the book should be first class - the crew of the first faster-than-light starship gets stranded on a distant planet (Earth), a war almost destroys the mother planet and much of their science is lost, a new war threatens the destruction of the entire race and, after 5000 years, they attempt to find the original ship and it's science. We have almost everything here - interplanetary war, a chase (including the attacking aliens) to find a lost technology, time-travel (sort of), love, hate, revenge, salvation, attempted genocide and more. So why was I so disappointed?
First, it was hard for me to credit the characters. Surely one would expect a race testing their first and only faster-than-light ship to do some kind of basic psychological testing on the crew before sending them 8 light years on their maiden voyage, so how do we end up with one psychopathic killer and two people claiming to the primitive locals that they are gods? What ever happened to the Prime Directive?
Second, why would a race utterly dependent upon the re-discovery of a lost technology for their continued existence only send one ship with only two crew members to find it? Surely they would make more than just one attempt to save their entire race.
Third, surely someone living in domed cities to escape the radiation poison would know that such places would be kept at a higher pressure inside to insure that any cracks would result in air leaking out, not leaking in.
In any case I almost put this book down about a quarter of the way through. I had lost patience with the actions of the stranded crew since they did not seem reasonable given psychological testing that goes on when such crews are selected, I could not conceive of only one rescue ship being sent, given how grave the situation was, and I found the narration to be ill suited to the story. In the end I decided to try to finish the book and, much to my surprise, I found the plot more interesting in the second half of the book. I finally became used to the narration and found it less objectionable toward the end of the book, perhaps because the story became more interesting and more believable.
There were some positives about this book. The world the author created was both complex and credible, some of the crew members seemed more real because they were less idealistic and selfless than often presented in these kinds of books, the switching back and forth between the ancient and modern worlds proved to be an interesting device and the interaction between the humans and the aliens was particularly interesting to me. While I had planned to give this book, and the narration, 3 stars, in the end I decided that the second half of the book salvaged the first half for me and I ended up giving it 4 stars.
For me, tough going, but I found some rewards for the effort to get through the book. However I did not go looking for other books by this author.
"Not what I expected"
I found this to be an interesting story and not at all what I expected.
Sean Chercover has created an interesting set of characters. Daniel Byrne is a Catholic priest who is having issues with his vows. His uncle is a known religious con man who is now speaking in "tongues" and Daniel's old (pre-priesthood) girlfriend becomes involved in the investigation into the truth or falseness of his uncle's predictions. The story is interesting, the characters are well drawn and have real depth, the situation is, to the best of my knowledge, unique in this type of book and the pressures on Daniel Byrne, from his superiors at the Vatican to those exerted by his ex-girlfriend, give this story a very different kind of feel. And, to add to all of that, this has the feeling of a new series and I expect to see Daniel Byrne again in an upcoming story.
The narration is very good, the story takes several very different turns and, although part of the resolution seems predictable, much is not. There are some drawbacks. I have never known situations where priests are granted as much leeway and forgiveness as Daniel is, given his predilections for disobeying orders, but they seem like small concerns given the overall feel and direction of the story line. Recommended, with those reservations, for those interested in finding a new suspense plot.
"A warning"
I was familiar with the columnist Dave Barry who wrote the short and funny articles I would see online and in the newspapers and expected something similar when I bought this book. I listened to the sample and heard the warning that there were "bad words" in the book because the book involved some unsavory characters and "that is the way they talk", but was still unprepared for what I found. Yes, the book contains characters using hard language, but it also involves violence, murder and graphic human dismemberment and I personally had to skip past some sections because I did not want to listen to graphic details of extreme violence. I would warn people that this is not, in my opinion, a book for young listeners.
Having said that, most of this book is typical Dave Barry. The story involves people at the "Old Folks Home", members of an unsuccessful band, cocktail waitresses, the Coast Guard, drug smugglers and others who all get caught up in mayhem trying to make legal as well as illegal livings. It is Dave Barry funny with an interesting set of characters, an interesting story and enough laughs to satisfy pretty much any reader. The narration is nearly perfect and the combination provided me with a reasonably pleasant, if sometimes very uncomfortable, listening. An interesting story, a lot of smiles, chuckles and laughs, very good narration and some strong violence so, for me, a mixed bag.
"Cute and OK."
I bought this book because the premise sounded interesting and because I had listened to, and thoroughly enjoyed, Suspect. That book so thoroughly captivated me that I thought I should give this book, also centered around a dog, a try. But, since that book was so good, I should have expected a bit of a disappointment.
Dog on It is told completely from the perspective of Chet, the dog, and thus offers a bit of a change of view. The writing is decent, the plot is simple, but relatively interesting and viewing the events through the eyes and mind of the dog is cute, at least for the first book. I am not sure the device will remain fresh and interesting through all of the volumes of the series. Chet himself is an interesting character although Bernie and the other humans seemed to lack any real depth as people. The narration is acceptable although there are some unexpected and needless pauses and at times the flow suffers because of those pauses.
The concept of telling the story through the eyes and mind of the dog is cute and the book itself is OK. I am not sure I will listen to the next book in the series because the human characters lack any real interest. That may change as Bernie has met a love interest and their future relationship may add that missing depth to the humans in the book, but at this point the best I can say is that it is cute and OK.
Will (and Ariel) Durant's 11 volume History of Civilization is an attempt to understand our current political, economic and social system in light of what came before and the progression of events that led us to where we are today. This is volume 3 of that set.
Mr Durant's writing is bright, sprightly and full of the irony of human existence. This book covers the entire history of Rome from its founding through its fall as well as the birth and early years of Christianity. It includes a synopsis of the New Testament by summarizing the life of Jesus and the actions of the Apostles after his crucifixion and goes a good way to explain the rise and triumph of Christianity over the Pagan religions and of Rome itself. The book also includes a chapter covering the reasons for the fall of Rome to those it considered to be barbarians and the list of reasons given cannot help but give pause to anyone surveying our current politics.
The book is quite old (copyrighted 1942) and thus does not contain some information which has been found since the writing of the book, but it is still a wonderful description of the period, the people, their philosophies, religions, arts, writers, politics and history. The book is comprehensive enough to cover all relevant events during the 1000 plus years but sometimes veers off onto subjects that the reader may find to be of less interest. While I personally could have skipped some of the sections covering individual Stoic and Epicurean philosophers as well as the section of Roman music, the book is so varied and covers so much that readers will almost certainly find whatever information they may be looking for in it regardless of whether or not that particular information is normally included in other histories of Rome.
The book covers a broad range of subjects concerning ancient Rome although none are covered in extraordinary depth and the reader may want to pick up separate books covering specific areas of interest to find out more about them. As examples the Punic Wars and the Roman Civil War are covered briefly enough to understand their significance to Rome but the reader may want more information about them than is provided here.
One drawback of the Audible version of this book is that it does not include downloads of the maps and photos that are in the print version and thus the listener will be missing the ability to actually see some of the items of art that are being described. That is not a problem particular to this book but is a general problem with spoken books and I found myself taking out the print version (I have the entire set of The History of Civilization in print format) and inspecting the photos of the statues and pottery that Mr Durant describes in the book and the ability to do that was a big help.
The book is narrated by Grover Gardner and it is hard to see how a better narrator could have been selected. Mr Gardner's voice is perfectly suited to this kind of book and it was a pleasure to listen to him. With the exception of what seemed to me to be a couple of misspoken dates during the narration Mr Gardner did a flawless job and adds immensely to the enjoyment of the book. I will be keeping my eyes open for any remaining volumes of the 11 volume history should they become available on Audible and now expect to pick up the next volume (The Age of Faith) in its Audible version.
A superb book by a superb narrator for anyone interested in the rise and fall of Rome and the rise of Christianity.

The Oakland Raiders were crushed 48-21 by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Super Bowl XXXVII in San Diego nearly 10 years ago. The game was one of the most lopsided in Super Bowl history, and now, almost 10 years later, accusations are surfacing that Bill Callahan may have thrown the big game.
The accusations first came from 9-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Tim Brown. Hall of Famer Jerry Rice agreed with Brown, while other former Raiders disagree.
We'll start with the comments made by Brown over the weekend on SiriusXM NFL radio, as shared by Pro Football Talk.
"We get our game plan for victory on Monday, and the game plan says we're gonna run the ball," Brown said Saturday. "We averaged 340 [pounds] on the offensive line, they averaged 280 [on the defensive line]. We're all happy with that, everybody is excited. [We] tell Charlie Garner, 'Look, you're not gonna get too many carries, but at the end of the day we're gonna get a victory. Tyrone Wheatley, Zack Crockett, let's get ready to blow this thing up.'"
According to Brown, Callahan then inexplicably changed the entire gameplan on Friday, two days before the big game. They went from planning a run-heavy attack to deciding to throw it 60 times. Brown called into question Callahan's relationship with Jon Gruden when discussing the situation. Gruden was the coach of the Raiders from 1998-2001, so he was facing his former team in the Super Bowl in his first season with his new team.

Dear Editor:
December 6, 2012, the management of Brookshire and Super 1 Foods Grocery Chains entertained twenty-four Ark-La-Tex World War II Veterans, their families,and friends.
This was the climax to a three day all expense paid trip for the veterans on October 18-20, 2012 to our nations capitol and memorials. Providing TLC were twenty-two Brookshire employees who provided necessary assistance to aging veterans with walkers and wheelchairs. Also accompanying us on the trip was a medical doctor and two photographers from Shreveport, La Channel 12 KSLA. The entire trip was documented. Brookshire collaborated with KSLA Channel 12 and gifted to every veteran, a personal picture album, individual photos for framing and two photo DVD's as mementos to the "World War II Hero's Flight".
During the 1st leg of our journey, we were escorted via bus from Shreveport, La to Tyler Texas, by members of the Motorcycle Guard. We continued on to catch our flight to Washington DC form Dallas, aboard an American Airlines flight. On our return trip, we were again escorted by the same cyclists back to Shreveport. All I can say is WOW! What a great group of patriotic caring Bikers.
Our tour was narrated by an Honor Air Volunteer who provided interest and historic significance to everything we visited, passed, and observed.
Our accommodations, meals, tour assistance and nightly entertainment provided by the Knights of Columbus were absolutely exquisite and went off with military precision.
My sincerest thank you goes to the Brookshire's employees who orchestrated it all. And many thanks to all who participated.
William B. Wardlaw

ALBANY, N.Y. -- Catholic Bishops from across New York State will meet with Governor Andrew Cuomo Tuesday to discuss bills and local funding.
First on the list of discussion topics, a yet-to-be introduced abortion bill which the bishops strongly oppose. Education funding, housing funding and humane treatment for jailed individuals will also be discussed.
The bishops will meet with Sen. Dean Skelos, Sen. Jeff Klein, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver later in the afternoon.
Cardinal Timothy Michael Dolan, archbishop of New York, will not be present since he is still in Rome for the Pope's formal Mass of Installation.

WASHINGTON — Republican Karl Rove's much-discussed "Crossroads" committees, which were seen as game-changers in the 2012 presidential campaign, turned out to be such a failure that some have wondered whether the entire field of super PACs will wither away amidst an exodus of disenchanted donors.
But analysts and those who run the committees said in interviews that, for a number of reasons, the opposite could be true. With lessons learned from this year's campaign, the amount of unlimited and sometimes undisclosed contributions could actually increase as backers of both parties rearm for the 2014 midterm elections.

Klimek endures hard run at nationals
Contact: Erik Snyder (360) 867-6537
Sports Information Director
The Evergreen State College
November 19, 2005
Louisville, KY-For the second year in a row, Evergreen's Josh Klimek endured a difficult and disappointing race at the NAIA National Championships. Racing against a deep field, the senior was poised for a strong performance with a good build up in his last couple of races and the experience of last year's trip to nationals under his belt.
Klimek opened the race with a strong first mile, posting a 5:04 that put him on pace to finish in the top 100, the goal he and coach Craig Dickson had targeted. But by the third mile Klimek had slowed significantly.
"His form just didn't look right," said Dickson. "After the race Josh said his lower back was very stiff which may explains his stressed looking form. He never complains about anything so I knew it must have bothered him."
Klimek rallied in the last mile and a half but was only able to muster a time of 27:37-a full 70 seconds off the time he recorded at the Region I Championships.
Klimek finished in 220 th place, well below his goal, but 21 places ahead of his result in the same meet last season. His time also bested his performance from a year ago by over a minute.
Said Dickson, "We are proud of the way he ran and we know that he always races his hardest on any given day."
Virginia Intermont repeated as team champions while Soimo Kiplagat of Lindenwood won the individual title.
The Geoducks came away from the national championships with two awards of their own as Klimek repeated as a Scholar Athlete All-America and Rachel Williams was also bestowed with the honor.

Windows desktop sharing is a multi-party screen sharing technology in Windows Vista, wherein a local desktop can be transmitted over an RDP connection without creating an additional session.
- Connectivity: Windows Desktop Sharing does support connectivity to intelligent appliances, wireless devices and PC's in uPnP framework and also teredo tunneling to provide connectivity to IPV6 machines behind IPV4 NAT's.
- Reverse Connect: It is an interesting feature, where sharer can connect to the viewer if viewer cannot reach the sharer via direct connect. For example, the viewer may not be able to connect to the sharer because of network address translation (NAT).
- Authentication: API supports creating tickets/ invitations on the sharer side that can be routed by the API consumer application or IM's to the viewers.
- Sharing Modes: API supports sharing desktop, application or a region.
- Control Modes: Sharer always has full control of his desktop/ application/region. Each viewer can be tuned to no-view/view or interactive control. Sharer controls the control level for each viewer and viewers can request promotion in control level to sharer.
- Smart sizing: Smart sizing is well-supported and is a client/ viewer option that can be turned on and off.
- Virtual channels: Virtual channels can be used to exchange other data like documents, application data, chat messages etc.

Kickstarter Of The Week: Bjork Aims To Unleash Biophilia On More Screens & Schools
Bjork's album/app Biophilia was an ambitious undertaking, to say the least: Not only did the Icelandic musician pen a 10-song album, she also helped create a suite of accompanying apps, a fleet of new instruments, a dynamic live experience and an educational program for children interested in learning about musicology. Now, Bjork is looking to build out this expansive project even more, launching a Kickstarter campaign in order to bring Biophilia to more screens and her educational program to more schools.
When Bjork's Biophilia album dropped on October 11, 2011, it was only released on iOS, greatly limiting the number of people who had access to the app. Sure, iPhones hold a significant portion of the smartphone market and iPads are pretty popular as well, but Bjork isn't content to limit the app's exposure to Apple fanboys. By that same token, she doesn't want the accompanying educational campaign to be have limited access, either. Hence her Kickstarter campaign.
Still in its infancy, Bjork's campaign has so far raised around $16,013 of its approximately $590,587 goal (original dollar amounts were in pounds). With 28 days to go, Bjork is asking fans to contribute money that will make it possible for her to 1). Bring the Biophilia app to Android and Windows 8 devices, courtesy of the same team — Snibbe Studios — that worked on the original app. 2). To widen the reach of her Biophilia Educational Program, a non-profit project that brings the ideas and concepts behind the app (nature and science, music and technology) into the classroom. The cash will "go towards the development of an open-source curriculum guide for Biophilia Educators," Bjorks says on her Kickstarer page. "We would like to be in a position to pay educational specialists to create Biophilia lesson plans and give them what they need to assist teachers to use the Biophilia apps in their music and science lessons."
To entice people to donate cash, Bjork is offering up tons of Biophilia-themed rewards like the app itself, T-shirts, special edition records and concert tickets. Folks who donate more than $200 will also be thanked in the credits of the new apps.

Lionsgate has announced that the upcoming Ryan Reynolds thriller "Buried" will hit North American theaters on September 24th. Seeing how they'll stretch this very thin premise into a feature-length film will be interesting if nothing else
Does anybody really watch these Suicide Girls DVDs? If so, I guess you're in the luck. Two new discs featuring a bevy of these horror-tinged beauties will hit retail shelves on March 16th. Make sure your insurance policy covers Carpal Tunnel Syndrome beforehand.
Because you demand it: Screen Gems has located a writer/director hungry enough to tackle "Quarantine 2", the sequel to one of the worst Hollywood remakes in recent memory. I feel so lucky to be alive right now. Really lucky.
If a pair of women express interest after you've won a ton of money at the MGM Grand, there's a strong possibility they're going to rob you at gunpoint once you've taken your clothes off. That's what you get when you let your crotch win.
Reports are swirling around the downtown Lexington, Ky area that an extremely creepy guy riding a white bicycle has been peeping at residents over the past few weeks. If anyone is interested in crafting a sequel to "The Strangers", here's your inspiration. Creepy!
669 - Mount Etna, one of the largest volcanos in Europe, suddenly erupts, killing over 20,000 people in the process.
I'm still not 100% sure what a Suicide Girl is but from what I've seen I'm guessing it's what happens to those girls who sit outside Hot Topic when they grow up. And who wouldn't want to see those girls tossed into the middle of the woods and set in the first ever reality based horror film. I present for your viewing pleasure "Suicide Girls Must Die!". The film is set for a March 12th DVD release and the trailer below has everything you'd ever want from a film like this. Let the fun begin!
CC's back, Joe's confused, and we hope you enjoy the new sound!
A movie that has the crew conflicted.

Great swimsuit! I love this swimsuit! It shows off my tan nicely and the color is fabulous! I was a little hesitant to order this because of some of the other reviews regarding the top, but it is perfect. I can wear it without the halter strap and it stays up nicely. I would highly recommend this swimsuit. May 25, 2014
This suit was just as cute in real life as it is in the picture. I was looking for a one piece swim suit that wasn't too young or too old looking and would give good support.This suit is perfect. I was worried about the top staying up but it is no problem and I like that it has a detachable strap for those times you may be more active. This suit is a winner! April 20, 2014
Excellent choice for my recent trip to HI! This great Tommy Bahama blue and white dotted one piece is perfect. I am not usually one to choose a one-piece, but this is the best one-piece I have ever owned. The suit is very flattering, slimming, and bright with color. I felt great in it on my vacation! April 15, 2014
Super cute Colors are awesome! Comfortable & looks good too. Padding in bust a bit on the thick side. April 13, 2014
The color of this suit is very pretty, but no support. Love the color & style, however the busy area has no support. The rest of the suit fits snug and the top does nothing to lift up & hold the girls(I'm a C cup). April 8, 2014
Great swim suit I wore this suit on a recent trip to the Bahamans. I love the fit and coverage. I had no worries about the top slipping down. I loved everything about the suit. March 24, 2014

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - Over 100 Wisconsin hospitals are collaborating with each other to improve the quality of their care. And it's resulted in big savings for them, and better care for you.
The Wisconsin Hospital Association said the improved care is in the form of fewer readmissions, as patients learn more about taking care of themselves after they go home -- and hospitals learn more about reducing bad reactions to medications.
Because of all that, an estimated 3,500 Wisconsin patients did not have to be readmitted -- and that's saved hospitals about $34 million since the middle of 2012.
The Obama health reform law reduces Medicare reimbursements to hospitals with excessive readmissions. But the hospital group said it didn't take Obamacare to get them to pay attention to the problem.
Association president Steve Brenton says hospital-related infections have also been reduced -- and all the improvements generate value for patients, employers, and health insurers.

New iPhone headed to production, reports say
Deliveries of the just-released iPhone 5 have been painfully slow, and now a Chinese-language newspaper reports that Apple is pushing ahead with a successor.
The world's most valuable company is running into problems with its most important product. It can't make enough. Yes, demand is high, but there's more to the story. Apple's manufacturing partner, Foxconn, is having a bunch of production issues.
"The iPhone 5 is the most difficult device that Foxconn has ever assembled," an anonymous official at the company told The Wall Street Journal last month. "To make it light and thin, the design is very complicated."
Critics say the phone is absolutely amazing. "This is without a doubt the best iPhone yet," Engadget raves. "This is a hallmark of design. This is the one you've been waiting for."
And waiting for . . . and waiting for. A phone is not worth that wait. Not when plenty of competing phones built on Google's (GOOG) Android platform are available. Apple has a real problem on its hands -- one that could dent its revenue this holiday quarter. Apple sold more than 5 million iPhone 5 units in the first three days, but analysts were expecting as many as 10 million.
"We believe that sales could have potentially been much higher if not for supply constraints," William Power, an analyst with Baird Equity Research, wrote in a client note, according to Reuters.
So it's not that surprising to read rumors that Apple is basically moving full speed ahead with the next version of the iPhone, unofficially named the iPhone 5S. Digitimes reports that Apple is expected to begin production on a small batch of iPhone 5S phones in December, likely only 50,000 to 100,000 units.
"Facing low yield rates in the production of iPhone 5, Apple has accelerated the certification processes for related parts and components for the iPhone 5S," reports the Chinese-language Commercial Times, according to Digitimes. The Commercial Times also says the iPhone 5S will enter mass production in the first quarter of next year.
That timing would be highly extraordinary, since the iPhone 5 just launched in September. "If this new report from China turns out to be accurate, it could represent a dramatic shift in product release strategy for Apple, perhaps spurred on by increased competition from the likes of Samsung, and a raft of other Android-based smartphone competitors," PC Magazine writes.
What about this theory? The iPhone 5 is so tough to make, forcing the normally reliable Foxconn into hardware scratches and other production issues, that Apple is essentially moving on to the next version, which it will ensure has none of those problems.
Of course, this could all be an empty rumor. Digitimes is not known for its sterling accuracy. But even a rumor could hurt Apple's bottom line. If enough people think a new iPhone 5S is coming out early next year, then current sales of the iPhone 5 will take a hit. Rumors have dinged Apple's revenue plenty in the past.
More from Top Stocks
It's amazing how out of touch we are with our First World problems: There are people around the world who lack food and basic necessities, living in absolute poverty. In fact, many of those folks work at Foxconn. But oh my God, I might have to wait three weeks for my iPhone, and THAT is "unacceptable". Sad...
When you say "fumbling to do absolutely nothing on their phone" are you referring to me being able to actually view and use the entire internet as opposed to getting that lovely message "You cannot access or view this site with this product" Or are you referring to my phone being able to give me correct navigation? Do you want me to go on? You can keep your Apple product and you can continue to give them your $$$. Their great marketing department is looking for consumers just like you.
Why wouldn't they make a 6? or a 7 or 8 or 9?
Why did Ford decide to make a car after the model T? Could it be because competitors constantly make better products so you in turn need to make yours better to keep up?
Im not sure why people with Apple products are snobs. I have an Ipod so am I a snob?
Why do people resort to name calling? It's a simple news article about a new product. Calm down people, I'm sure your phone is much better, that's why Apple has sold MILLIONS and MILLIONS of phones, Ipads, and Ipods, because they suck i guess??

The pain felt by victims of Hurricane Sandy brought an outpouring of support from Woodbridge residents.
Now art students at John F. Kennedy High School are doing their share by holding an auction of the art they created to depict the impact of Sandy on their lives and the lives of their neighbors.
The artworks are on display at the high school, located in Iselin, but now interested owners can bid online to make these creations theirs, and help a worthy cause at the same time.
All monies raised by the auction will go to help Woodbridge victims of the hurricane. JFK's for hurricane relief, all of which went to Woodbridge homeowners affected by the storm.
"Giving up artwork is challenging, especially when they are building their portfolios, so when they were willing to do this and give the money for charity it just moved me," said art teacher Amy Stachurski and is helping to oversee the auction.
Stachurski said she is giving two prizes to the budding young artists - one for whose work draws the highest bid and another for the artist who gets the most bids.
Those interested should page through the Patch gallery. Bids are done by emailing Stachurski with the name of the artist on the work. Bidders should include their email address, the name on the artwork, and their bid.
There is a minimum bid of $5, and $10 for canvases.
Bids can be emailed to Stachurski at firstname.lastname@example.com

Devonta White and James Vincent haven't had the best starts to the season for Georgia State.
But Vincent tied a school record with nine blocks and White scored a game-high 16 points to lead the Panthers to a 62-49 victory in Monday's home opener against Monmouth at the Sports Arena.
Afterward, coach Ron Hunter was more pleased with one than the other.
"We won for two reasons. No. 1, our defense carried us and the other was our big fella came to play," Hunter said, slapping Vincent's thigh.
The 6-10 Vincent, who has had issues with consistency, was too much for Monmouth's front court, which didn't feature a player taller than 6-9. He tied a record first set by Sylvester Morgan against Mercer in 2005. Georgia State finished with 13, one short of tying the school record set against Florida International last year. Partially because of Vincent, Georgia State's defense limited the Hawks to 27.8 percent shooting.
Vincent, who finished with five points and eight rebounds, didn't know that he tied the school record, but looked forward to calling his high school coach, Northside's Kenneth Lawrence in Columbus, to tell him.
"This guy can be really good, he has no idea how good he can be," Hunter said.
Hunter wasn't as effusive about White, who continued to struggle in the first half until finding his shooting stroke in the second half.
White was the team's leading scorer after the first two games with a 16.5 points-per-game average, but he was shooting 36.7 percent. He also had more turnovers (11) than assists (four). He improved in some of those areas Monday, hitting 45.4-percent of his shots with four assists but five turnovers.
But Hunter knows White can do more, perhaps by trying to do less.
"He's playing too fast," Hunter said. "He's playing 10 times times faster than he did a year ago. He's in a hurry, like his coach. He has to slow down. He's the one that's driving our car and our car is always out of control. I know that we will get there."
Georgia State will host Tennessee State at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the continuation of this region of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic. The Tigers are coached by former Panther Travis Williams. Tennessee State defeated South Alabama, 68-57, giving Williams his first victory on the Division I level. South Alabama will take on Monmouth at 4 p.m. to open Tuesday's action.
After a scrappy, or sloppy, first half in which Georgia State closed with a 7-2 run to take a 30-23 lead, the Panthers came out in the second half rolling on offense.
White scored five consecutive points and R.J. Hunter added a 3-pointer to complete an 8-0 run and give the Panthers a 38-23 lead with 17:20 left in the game.
It was a much different start than the in the first half, when the Panthers committed five turnovers on their first six possessions and had trouble running their offensive sets throughout the half.
The Panthers cleaned up their issues in the second half and continued the run, opening up a 41-25 lead on a three-point play by Rashaad Richardson with 15:04 left.
Though the Panthers shot 51.2 percent, an improvement of almost 15 percent on the season average, Hunter said it's the defense, led by Vincent, that will allow him to get his seven minutes of sleep Monday.
"We want to be great and that wasn't a great effort," he said.

Miss the students from the exhibition games. Long for their return.
Oak came through in his best game of his GSU career. Way to play. Like what I saw from some of the new players like Crider. Improvements game by game. Baby steps to get where they can be this season.
Great write up Doug.

Great game Panthers, yeah a little sloppy but a W is a W. Regarging Devonta he played great and FYI Hunter if it weren't for his ball handling we would have had 50 turnovers. Your kid is not a great ball handler and made a terrible drive to the basket that if any other player would have done you would have lost it. Long story short your favoritism is starting to show and it is not going unnoticed.
Just saying

Agree with GSU MEX ALUM still looking for our identity. Like what I see from the free throw line compared to last year. Defense is not as good as last year yet but it is improving. Offense has to gel in order for us to dominate in the VAA. We can do it as I Believe in CRH and staff. GO PANTHERS!

Tomorrow Soon Will Be Your Yesterday
OK, so apparently every song on Neal Morse's new album Momentum is going to be as good as "Thoughts Part 5." And as the video implies, Paul Gilbert does indeed appear for a blistering solo. Nice!
However, I have two questions that need answering. How did I miss this video when it was released back in July? And what exactly am I missing in the 2:13 that was cut from the album version of this song?

"The Book Thief," starring Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson, is a serious movie based on a serious book based on a serious topic.
While subjected to the horrors of WWII Germany, young Liesel (Sophie Nélisse) finds solace by stealing books and sharing them with others. Under the stairs in her home, a Jewish refugee is being sheltered by her adoptive parents.
This behind-the-scenes clip, which is featured on the "The Book Thief" Blu-ray, shows that not everything was dour and intense. In fact, Rush himself, who is sometimes seen as a straight-laced, maudlin actor, seems to be quite the joker, eliciting giggles and laughter on-set.
Don't believe it? Watch the clip above, and see for yourself!
"The Book Thief" will be available on Blu-ray on March 11, 2014. It is already available for digital HD download.
Gallery | YA Books That Couldn't Cut It as Movies
- 'Return to Oz' (1985)
Gross: $11,137,801
What filmmaker can recapture the whimsical spirit of L. Frank Baum's treasured "Oz" books? How about the guy who edited "Apocalypse Now"? Facetiousness aside, Walter Murch is a genius editor (he's got three Oscars to prove it), but his directorial debut on "Return to Oz" took Dorothy far from Kansas to something that resembles a Salvador Dalí fever dream. Nightmare fuel includes Tin Man and Cowardly Lion turned to stone, severed heads of dancing girls lining a hallway, and creepy Claymation stone giants. Did we mention Dorothy getting shock treatment? Sam Raimi got it far more right this year with his candy colored, tongue-in-cheek "Oz: The Great and Powerful."
- 'The Indian in the Cupboard' (1995)
Gross: $35,656,131
In the early '90s having the word "Scholastic" on a dust jacket usually meant you were destined for a Disney Channel Movie at best, but this movie was different… it had pedigree. British author Lynne Reid Banks had spawned five incredibly popular "Indian in the Cupboard" books that became staples of elementary school libraries, and Paramount got Melissa Mathison (writer of "E.T."), Kathleen Kennedy (producer of "Jurassic Park") and director Frank Oz (Muppet genius) to craft a big budget movie with state of the art special effects used to… make actors tiny. Therein lay the problem: Banks' tale of a cupboard that magically brings toys to life is a perfect world for a 4th grade imagination, but is pretty inert for anyone much older than 10. Lead Hal Scardino is perfectly sweet and earnest as lead boy Omri, and nowhere to be found is Oz's trademark cynicism.
- 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events' (2004)
Here's the sad case of an exceptional film getting the short end of the stick. Director Brad Silberling ("Moonlight Mile") was originally slated to helm the first "Harry Potter" film before Steven Spielberg's brief flirtation pushed him out. As a consolation prize he landed this "Unfortunate" assignment, which is based on the first three of Daniel Handler's thirteen(!) books about the Baudelaire orphans and their transparently evil guardian Count Olaf (Jim Carrey). As they're transferred from Olaf to other eccentrics who meet terrible ends (Meryl Streep as Aunt Josephine and Billy Connolly as Uncle Monty), the kids use their ingenuity (and in case of baby Sunny, biting prowess) to foil Olaf's scheming. Rick Heinrichs' anachronistic German expressionist production designs are breathtaking, most of them practical sets unencumbered by CGI, and the darkly comic tone is perfect, refusing to condescend to its target audience, perhaps to its own commercial detriment.
- 'Eragon' (2006)
It took J.R.R. Tolkien, a noted linguist and Oxford professor, approximately 17 years from conception to completion to write his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Christopher Paolini wrote his first fantasy novel, "Eragon," at the age of 15. Something tells us he might have skipped a few necessary steps in his development as an author. This pipsqueak penman conjured up a work as deeply clichéd as it is dull, but we can still marvel that he did it on his own, whereas the adult filmmakers behind the doomed film adaptation had no excuse. Guess Jeremy Irons gotta eat. The title teen warrior (Ed Speleers) and his female dragon Saphira (voice of Rachel Weisz) do battle with hordes of CGI soldiers and cross mountaintops while being circled by cinematographers in helicopters, etc etc. Adaptations of the other three books in Paolini's cycle will have to remain in juvenile readers' heads… where they belong.
- 'The Golden Compass' (2007)
Based on Philip Pullman's lauded "His Dark Materials" trilogy, this tale of orphan Lyra (Dakota Blue Richards) and her defiance of the oligarchical Magisterium (controlled by an evil Nicole Kidman!) is about as clear an allegory against organized religion as one could imagine, even with cute Coca Cola-esque talking polar bears and magical spirit animals. Problem is Chris Weitz of "American Pie" fame didn't have the directorial clout to stay faithful to the novels, hence the film pleased neither secularists nor raging Catholics.
- 'The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising' (2007)
Yet another chunk of cookie cutter kid lit chucked at the screen by the relentless Walden Media ("The Chronicles of Narnia," "City of Ember"), this one has 14-year-old Will Stanton (Alexander Ludwig), who finds out he's got magic powers to travel through time and stop "The Darkness," because making up names for bad guys is too hard. Unlike a lot of other films on this list, "The Seeker" seemed virtually destined to fail, given its low-rent look and cardboard acting, even from the likes of Ian McShane and former "Doctor Who" star Christopher Eccleston (who plays a time travelling Doctor. HI-YO!). Literally all of McShane's lines have "I need a stiff drink" as the underlying subtext. Fans were disturbed by all the changes made to Susan Cooper's book series, which this film oddly adapts the second book of.
- 'Inkheart' (2008)
We all know how much Brendan Fraser loves acting alongside computer animated things. Hell, he is the Lawrence Olivier of standing against a green screen pretending to look at stuff, be it mummies, Monkeybone, dinosaurs or Bugs freakin' Bunny. Things start to go south when the CGI things he's interacting with are less interesting than he is, as was the situation with this woeful adaptation of Cornelia Funke's trilogy. Fraser plays Mo, a "silver tongue" who can manifest anything he reads out loud to the real world. This is an opportunity for all sorts of kid lit characters from "The Wizard of Oz," "Peter Pan," and more to be brought into the narrative. This was a well-meaning "books make your imagination come alive!" type premise, one that smacks of "educational," just about the furthest thing that kids want to see on winter break.
- 'City of Ember' (2008)
This movie did YA dystopia before it was cool. Though "The Hunger Games" and upcoming "Divergent" may have young protagonists in some scruffy living situations, author Jeanne DuPrau's post-nuclear underground city of Ember is coated with an extra layer of super grime. When two young residents (Saoirse Ronan and Harry Treadaway) of this oppressive regime discover a way out to the surface, they worm their way through piping, cavernous tunnels, and streams. After his giddy debut "Monster House" we expected great things from young Gil Kenan, so we were doubly disappointed his first live-action film clearly shows difficulty eliciting anything from cast and crew beyond complex visuals. How can you make a movie with Bill Murray utterly devoid of humor? That's not even POSSIBLE.
- 'The Spiderwick Chronicles' (2008)
Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi's bestselling series got the Tinseltown treatment, with "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" star Freddie Highmore nabbing the lead role(s) of twins Jared and Simon Grace, who discover their house is surrounded by hidden goblins, hobgoblins, and ogres. More magical shenanigans happen, and the production design is quite good, although by the time this came out YA fatigue had started to set in, leading to lackluster returns. It should have been called "The Spiderwick Chronicle" (singular).
- 'Beautiful Creatures' (2013)
When the first footage for this southern gothic romance debuted at New York Comic-Con, you could literally cut the apathy of the room with a chainsaw. The footage was dull, the cast full of generic teens and well-known actors getting a paycheck (Jeremy Irons again!). The novels by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl didn't have the same brand recognition as "Twilight," yet here was Warner Bros. trying to cash in, figuring any prepackaged movie with a female lead (Alice Englert), some hunky young slab of stud (Alden Ehrenreich), and a little bit of witchcraft was enough to fool young women into thinking this was that elusive "next 'Twilight' phenomenon." Screenwriter/director Richard LaGravenese ("The Fisher King") has done great work in the past, which makes this creature that much harder to turn away from in disgust.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Next Week's Game Plan
Search Jim Cramer's "Mad Money" trading recommendations using our exclusive "Mad Money" Stock Screener.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Next week, it will be almost impossible to make money, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Friday, but that doesn't mean investors can't listen and learn and prepare their next moves.
Cramer reminded viewers that the heart of earnings season is the most difficult time to trade, which is why he recommends sitting on the sidelines until after companies report.
So what will Cramer be listening to? He said that on Monday, he'll be listening to PPG (PPG) to see how that company is faring as worldwide growth returns and commodity costs remain low.For Tuesday, Cramer said Lennar (LEN) will provide an outlook on housing in the U.S., while on Wednesday JPMorgan Chase (JPM) will offer a look into the banking world. Cramer said he'd be a buyer of eBay (EBAY) on any weakness after that company reports on Wednesday, and would also pounce on Kinder Morgan Energy Partners (KMP). Thursday brings more financials, including Bank of America (BAC), Citigroup (C) and Capital One (COF). Cramer said he likes Bank of America in the long term but would buy Capital One on weakness. As for Intel (INTC), which also reports on Thursday, Cramer said he prefers
Speculation FridayFor "Speculation Friday," Cramer featured sports apparel maker Quiksilver (ZQK), telling viewers that timing is everything, and in this case the timing may be all wrong. Quiksilver has been in the crosshairs of the Wall Street analysts, with Goldman Sachs recently upgrading the stock while Piper Jaffray downgraded the company. Cramer said Quiksilver has been a wild ride, with the stock soaring in 2005 only to find itself near bankruptcy in 2008. The company does have a new CEO as of today however, something that Goldman noted as a big plus for the company. But Piper noted that while we don't yet have holiday sales data for Quiksilver, the evidence from those retailers that sell Quiksilver merchandise has not been promising.

COLLETTSVILLE – A 22-year-old man is the latest person to drown this summer in the dangerous current at Wilson's Creek in Burke County.
Authorities with Collettsville Fire & Rescue and the U.S. Forest Service say the drowning was reported Monday afternoon near Brown Mountain Beach Resort. Rescue crews were called about 4:45 p.m., and the man's body was found about 7 p.m.
The Caldwell County Sheriff's Office identified the victim Wednesday as Elder Ortiz Velasquez.
Friends told authorities that Velasquez, who is from Guatemala, was not a good swimmer and got caught in the rapid current of the creek.
Authorities have warned swimmers to wear life vests or stay out of the water in recent weeks. Heavy rain this summer has increased the creek current, according to officials at Pisgah National Forest.
On July 27, two Charlotte-area residents were caught in the current and drowned. They were identified as Juan Alberdi, 48, of Huntersville, and Delilah Lovett, 10, of Charlotte.

To complement the artistic endeavors of the private sector, the City of Houston's ongoing vision to emphasize public art continues to expand the opportunities for citizens to enjoy art in public spaces. In 1999, the City of Houston established an ordinance mandating that 1.75% of qualified Capital Improvement Project monies be set aside for civic art.
The Houston Arts Alliance (HAA) has been officially formed through the merger of the Cultural Arts Council Houston/Harris County, the Municipal Art Commission, and the Civic Art Committee. The HAA now serves as a unified entity that will fund, advocate, preserve, and promote the arts in the Houston, and Harris county region.
The City of Houston is committed to the growth and development of the Houston arts community and local Houston artists. The Mayor's Cultural Affairs Office is responsible for managing Houston's civic art program, working with the arts community (including the museum and theater districts) and implementing the Mayor's historic preservation initiatives.

Art Ordinance Enhances Houston's Public Image
By Jonathon Glus
CEO, Houston Arts Alliance
Houston's percent for art ordinance was established 10 years ago, on Dec. 21, 1999, and is recognized as one of the great civic steps toward transforming Houston into a vibrant metropolis, where public art is an intrinsic part of the urban fabric. By designating a small amount, 1.75 percent, to be set aside from certain city buildings' construction budgets to commission and maintain public art, Houston has within the past decade added compelling and beautiful pieces of public art to its collection ...
