Caldwell, N.J. – August 16, 2013 - Caldwell University Jennings Library will present Christina Baker-Kline, author of "Orphan Train" at noon Friday Sept. 13. The author visit and book discussion is free and open to the public.
"Orphan Train" is a novel highlighting the orphan trains that ran from East coast cities to Midwest farmlands from 1854 to 1929 carrying thousands of abandoned children. This little-known period in American history became the premise of the book. .
The power of human resilience and unexpected friendship are at the heart of this novel. Kline seamlessly blends contemporary and historical storylines, while alternating between present-day Maine, where readers meet seventeen-year-old foster child and Penobscot Indian Molly Ayer and 91-year-old Irish immigrant Vivian Daly, and Minnesota in the early 20th century, where readers learn about Vivian's past.
Kline is the author of five novels, including Bird in Hand and The Way Life Should Be. Writer-in-Residence at Fordham University from 2007-2011, Kline is a recent recipient of a Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation Fellowship and several research fellowships (to Ireland and Minnesota), and has been a Writer-in-Residence at the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. She lives with husband and three sons in Montclair, New Jersey, and spends as much time as possible in northern Minnesota and on the coast of Maine, where she grew up. For more information, visit her Facebook author page www.facebook.com/CBakerKline and on the web at www.christinabakerkline.com.
For more information about the event, please contact Joan Reamer in Jennings Library at email@example.com or 973-618-3564.

PORT ORANGE -- After years of contractual issues between city leaders and firefighters, the city has now finalized a labor contract with the fire union that lasts until September 2014.
Both the City Council and the Port Orange Professional Firefighters Association Local 3118 approved the new contract, which took effect last week. Before the contract was approved, the city's firefighters worked under a status quo collective bargaining agreement that expired in 2008.
"We are pleased to have a contract in place," City Manager Ken Parker said.
The new contract significantly reduces benefits for new hires through changes to vacation leave, bereavement leave and holiday pay, and the elimination of cost-of-living adjustments, insurance supplements and the Deferred Retirement Option Program for new hires, Mr. Parker said. Also, fire department employees can no longer sell back unused sick leave on an annual basis, he added.
The new contract also requires firefighters to contribute 8 percent of their salary into their own pensions. Firefighters, who contributed only a half-percent of their salary under the previous contract, asked city staff on several occasions if they could pay more money into their pensions as a way to reduce fire pension debt, but city leaders rejected those proposals.
Although the union ratified the contract last month, its president Mark Vroman e-mailed Mr. Parker requesting the city delay approval of the contract due to two pending arbitration issues, which he felt would lead some union members to change their positions on the contract.
City Attorney Margaret Roberts clarified the arbitration cases challenge changes related to pensions and cost-of-living adjustments adopted by the City Council in September. Some of those changes -- which city staff previously said would reduce fire pension debt by $2 million -- included raising the retirement age to 52 with 25 years of credited service or 55 with 10 years of credited service and changing the definition of salary to mean only base pay.
City Council members believed the contract with the fire union needed to be ratified as soon as possible, especially as a means of reducing overtime in the fire department by hiring nine new full-time firefighters.
"We fought long and hard for this," Councilman Bob Ford said. "It is time to put the struggle behind us for a while. Later we can address some of the continuing issues, but, for right now, I'm ready to move forward with approving this contract."
Mr. Ford, along with Vice Mayor Don Burnette and freshman councilman Drew Bastian, said hiring new firefighters must be a priority because the issue of overtime has a human cost that goes with the heavy financial burden by staffing firefighters for longer hours.
"We're not doing the guys any favors by working them to death," said Mr. Bastian, a retired firefighter. He added three more vacant positions in the department are likely in the new year as longtime employees plan to retire.
Following the ratification of the contract, Mr. Parker sent an e-mail to public safety department staff authorizing them to proceed with the hiring of nine full-time firefighters.
Ken Burgman, deputy director of fire services, told city leaders at a recent meeting he intends to train existing part-time reserve officers to fill some of the open positions.
"Within a week I could have them prepared and ready to go," Mr. Burgman said. "It depends on how hard they want to work, and I'm pretty sure right now they'll work as hard as I push them."

Do you have a choice for the worst bill in the California legislature?
If so, we'd love to hear from you at Prop Zero.
And to get the conversation started, here's my choice: AB 889.
What I am about to tell you about AB 889 is not a joke. It is real.
This is a bill that requires you to carry workers compensation coverage, pay overtime, provide breaks and compile a detailed pay stub for virtually any person who does domestic work in your home.
Including babysitters.
Read and watch our complete coverage here.
Of course, abuse of domestic workers is a real problem in California. But such a law -- which is unlikely to be followed or enforced -- doesn't really do anything about that problem.
It merely exhibits a mindset that no transaction -- even paying a college kid to watch your kids -- should be free from the long arm of government.
It's almost as if the sponsor, San Francisco legislator Tom Ammiano, is determined to embdoy the worst caricatures of San Francisco liberals.
Even if this bill were to be passed -- and it's remarkably still alive as of this writing -- don't expect that nothing will come of it.
The bill gives your babysitter the opportunity to seek legal redress, presumably through a wage and hour lawsuit, against you. These sorts of lawsuits have been used against fast-food providers who didn't play by California's onerous wage and hour laws.
In the world we live in, one has to wonder if there's a judge somewhere that wouldn't certify a class action of babysitters. Talk about a babysitters club.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The dense, rich color demonstrates the power and intensity of fruit, with finesse and elegance, the truly distinguishing characters of this wine. A bright aroma of cigar box, black currant and hints of classic Cabernet leafiness combine with subtle spice and chocolate from Shiraz. The palate is fresh and vibrant, black currant and berry flavors enriched by an underlying dark cherry and chocolate complexity. The wine finishes with firm and silky Cabernet tannins.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- The City of Spokane is looking into ways to make it easier for food vendors to go mobile.
City leaders said they are getting more interest from entrepreneurs who want to run a mobile food truck or food cart business in Spokane.
Leaders admit that the current process of getting permitted to run a mobile truck can feel confusing.
Spokesperson for the city, Marlene Feist said, "What we are trying to do is improve the rules so that people who want to do these kinds of businesses have an easier time doing business with the city."
Last year Joile Forral and her business partner got a food truck on their own.
"The biggest issue was trying to find and figure out what regulations we needed to have, what's required of us as far as the truck," said Forral.
The city regulations vary depending how and where the vendor operates and officials believe the rules are too generic.
Officials say the city is looking to make consistent and easy to understand rules each business will have to deal with in order to encourage more mobile vendors.
The city hosted a meeting Tuesday night until 6:30 at the downtown Spokane City Library to discuss the issue.

My Mum listened to all of them last night while sleeping with a speaker pillow and she said that this morning she felt so much better in so many ways...
Her nerves were really bad. She could never sleep properly - up at least 6
times during the night. Could not focus well and had no confidence.
Just after ONE session Adele is very focused now, very refreshed, slept a full night's sleep for the first time in years, very calm and that horrible feeling of being overwhelmed and bad churning in her stomach from being worried has now gone. :) Adele said that she now feels like she has the confidence to fix things in her life with reassurance and being more assertive in a positive way. You truly have changed my mum for the better.. thank you so much. Cant wait to see her in a month :)))) lol!!
I have felt great too... no more nerves, deeper sleep, more creative, and
nothing is worrying me much anymore. I had felt more driven to get more things
done today and i am smiling more too.
YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS AND KEEP UP THE WONDERFUL WORK OF CHANGING LIVES FOR THE BETTER!!!! ~ XX Nicci

Blissful feeling to end of recording.
I know the reread thing wasn't supposed to happen, but about half way through I started to cheer up and in the end I felt great.
Can't wait to listen again tonight, and at the risk of sounding a weirdo, if I don't already, it gave me a really interesting dream." ~ Dave.

"I chose to underwrite with Spokane Public Radio because our customer base tends to be really well educated, they tend to understand the importance of living lightly on earth, and want to learn more about how to do that.

Earlier this week we caught up with a man who's been consistently influencing the face of techno music for almost two decades. Hailing from Naples in Italy, Marco Carola is one of the most highly respected and hard working dj/producers in EDM today, touring relentlessly, while also holding down a Monday night residency with Cocoon at Ibiza's Amnesia during the summer months.
This year saw the release of Play It Loud! on Richie Hawtin's Minus label, marking the first full length record from Carola since Open System which dropped on his own Zenit imprint 10 years ago. So already 2011′s been a huge year for Marco Carola who's just returned to Europe after a Stateside tour. We were lucky enough to catch up with him during a rare break in his hectic schedule, and here's how it played out:
Interview & some awesome footage from his set at Time Warp in Amsterdam after the jump.

My Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogger 2010
Posted on 23. Jun, 2010 by dimaks in Blogging
My suggest a blog post on this grand awarding event for bloggers finally caught some inputs and I think, in a few days or so, I will be able to complete my 10 nominees for the Top 10 Emerging Influential Blogger Writing Project for 2010.
Without further ado, here is my list for this noble blogging project:
1. The Thirsty Blogger – this blog tackles drinks and drinking adventures from perhaps, one of the successful bloggers in the Philippines. I like the fact that the articles in this blog are flavored with personal experience, facts and great tips as well.
2. Paolodome Edge – from fashion, events, TV, Internet and personal thoughts, Paolodome is one of the most progressive blogs that I've come across in the past days or so. Another thing is that, the author is worthy of recognition when it comes to discussing things in an article – the subject matters are very well dissected for better clarity and comprehension.
3. ManilaMommy.com – if you are a mom or a mom to be, then this is one of the blogs that you should be considering to follow. The blog is not only about mommy thing but also family adventures. I like the very personal touch poured into this blog.
4. rabsing.com – the author of this blog has the taste in music and he sings nice. Or you've probably seen that essence in the domain itself – "rabsing". So we shall call it "talent" and you can send in your song requests
5. Tara Na! – the blogger behind tara-na.com is persistent enough in her adventures and that makes her blog worth tuning in. If you love to travel and enjoy discovering things along the way, then this is your place to be.
6. The Creative Dork – first off, this is one of the most neat blogs that I stumbled just recently. Creative Dork lives by its name – the author posts on a very wide range of subjects that are well blended with his artistic side of self. In here, you will find great designs, thoughts and passion.
7. Pinay Online Money Maker – I commend the author of this blog due to her seemingly untiring patience and enthusiasm in paving the way to earn money online. If you are the type of person or blogger who is in the scout for great ways to earn cash from the web, then pinayonlinemoneymaker is a place to go.
8. Kwatro Khanto – This blog made it to my list of emerging influential bloggers because of its great sense of randomness. "Khanto" makes it sure that you get a hold of his random blog entries that are sure bringer of humor, adventure and fun!
9. NoBenta – Are you the reminiscing type of person? Do you treasure something that is closely or somehow related to the 90s? NoBenta is your place to recollect the things! Indulge with the site and feel what it is like to be in the 90s. NoBenta looks like a time-machine to me. No wonder why its followers went up to a grand figure.
10. ATBP! [Around The Buzz Primetime!] – I have been trying to establish an entertainment buzz blog but I seem to lose an important ingredient to make it grow and flourish. Not with the case of ATBP's buzz blog! If I were to revive my plan of having a buzz blog, I will definitely take a huge inspiration from ATBP.
This project is sponsored by the following: : Events and Corporate Video, Budget hotel in Makati, Pinoy Party Food, Copyediting Services, PR Agency Philippines, Budget Travel Philippines, Send Gifts to the Philippines, Black Friday Deals, Roomrent – units for rent, Search Profile Index, and Corporate Events Organizer.

Sprawled over the flat coastal plains west of the mountains, TAICHUNG (台中; táizhōng) is Taiwan's third-largest city, the unofficial capital of central Taiwan and an important transport hub for the region. It's also regarded as the country's most attractive place to live: the climate is drier, the air less polluted, housing cheaper, and the streets greener and less crowded than Taipei or Kaohsiung. Taiwanese tea culture is particularly developed here; the city's appealing mix of elegant classical teahouses and stylish contemporary cafés are the perfect setting for a varied range of teas. Taichung's old centre still contains attractive remnants of its Japanese colonial past and a smattering of unusual temples, while in the modern western half of the city, I.M. Pei's Luce Memorial Chapel is a striking piece of modern architecture and the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts is a world-class contemporary art gallery. Beyond the suburbs, the chief attractions are Dajia and its famous Mazu Pilgrimage, and the 921 Earthquake Museum.
Brief history
Taichung traces its origins to a military post and village known as Datun, established in 1733 on the site of today's Taichung Park, but the modern city is an amalgam of several places, explaining why its oldest buildings and temples appear to be scattered all over the city – the western district of Nantun grew up around another army camp, founded in 1721 on the site of a farm that was built sixteen years earlier, and was absorbed by Taichung in 1950. Datun was briefly the capital of Taiwan after the island became a province of China in 1885, but local infrastructure was poor and Taipei, which was provisional capital, assumed the official role in 1894. After the Japanese occupied Taiwan in 1895 the city's name was changed to Taichung, or "Central Taiwan" and development began in earnest, with Englishman William Barton hired to design the new road layout for the city. The economy boomed in the 1970s and 1980s, with manufacturing and particularly shoe making leading the way, and by the 1990s the commercial centre of the city had drifted west towards Taichung Port (Taiwan's third largest). The city's population topped the million mark in 2003 (the current population of the metropolitan area is around 2.3 million).Read More
The 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan
The 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan
Located near the small town of Wufeng (霧峰; wùfēng) in the village of Kengkou (坑口; kēngkǒu), roughly 14km south of Taichung train station, the 921 Earthquake Museum of Taiwan (九二一地震教育園區; jiǔèryī dìzhèn jiàoyùyuánqū) is a vivid, if sobering, introduction to the damage and destruction wrought by the massive earthquake of 1999, particularly in this part of the country. Though it has attracted a fair amount of criticism from people who say it ignores the controversial aspects of the 921 earthquake (such as substandard construction), it's extremely informative and very moving.
The museum is centred on the former site of Guangfu Junior High School – most of the school collapsed during the quake and pictures of its mangled running track were some of the most visually shocking images in the days afterwards (it was mercifully empty at the time). The ruined school buildings form the outdoor area of the museum; on both sides of this are two futuristic exhibition halls packed with interactive displays labelled in English and Chinese; the Chelungpu Fault Gallery, which crosses the actual fault line – a clearly visible ridge created by the quake that cuts across the running track; and the Earthquake Image Gallery featuring a selection of audio-visual images of the quake and its aftermath, climaxing in hourly shows in a huge theatre.
The 921 Earthquake
The 921 Earthquake
All over Taiwan, but particularly in the central part of the country, you'll hear about the 921 Earthquake (九二一大地震; jiŭèryī dàdìzhèn): the epithet refers to the 7.3-magnitude quake that ripped across the island at 1.47am on September 21, 1999, killing 2455 people, injuring more than 8000 and destroying 50,652 buildings. It's also known as the Chi-Chi Earthquake – the epicentre was beneath the town of Jiji, 12.5km west of Sun Moon Lake. In fact, many of the casualties in Nantou county occurred during an aftershock five days later that measured 6.7 on the Richter scale, flattening buildings weakened on September 21.
Despite the heroic efforts of rescue services in the days after the disaster, the government was criticized in some places for its slow response. Though it established the 921 Earthquake Post-disaster Recovery Commission to oversee around NT$106bn in funding to help affected areas, many building contractors responsible for illegal construction – blamed for many of the deaths – have never been prosecuted.
Earthquakes are a problem in Taiwan because the island sits on a fault line between the Eurasian and Philippine tectonic plates, causing almost constant seismic activity, though 75 percent of all quakes occur in the sparsely populated eastern half of the island. When western Taiwan is affected, the results can be catastrophic, though most buildings today can easily absorb all but the strongest tremors.

Don't have a business card? I'll just e-mail you. Don't have e-mail? No worries text DAN to 80373 for my business card. These are the things that I bring into my everyday life in the "Digital Dan" world. That explains alot about the infographic put together by Column Give & promoted by Mashable to highlight some of the findings from cio.com, cnn.com, time.com, idc.com & fcc.gov about the growing influence of smartphones on our everyday life.
2 years ago it was something to overcome in conversations about digital media advertising. "Well yes it sounds great but how many people really have smartphones?" 72% of the United States population by 2017 according to this graphic.
The most poignant part of the graphic? 4 out of 5 Americans reach for their cell phone before doing a single thing every morning. That is the POWER of mobile advertising. Reach them before they even have a chance to turn on the coffee pot. There simply isn't a replacement for that type of engagement with a potential customer.

Vinny would have to be on top of his game if he would defeat Jorge Juarbe, driving the 300Z owned by Cesar Febus. Juarbe had easily taken out Jose Escalara in the first round when he fouled, and Jose Ramos was more than a second slower in the semis. But after Vinny's and Juarbe's burnouts in the final round, what could have been an incredibly close race was all lost. While backing up, Vinny rolled back a little short. Juarbe staged and Vinny moved forward to do the same, but rolled the beams. Vinny sat expecting the starter to allow him to move back, but the lights were popped and Juarbe was gone with Vinny's lane lit red. This gave the rather anticlimactic win to Juarbe.
Pro ClassIt's always entertaining when two identical cars cross the finish line at speeds of more than 200 mph. And that's what Goerge Ioannou and Ara Arslanian gave the crowd in the first round. Both competitors left the line with their Solaras at the same moment, but Ioannou had just a little more power as he pulled ahead of Arslanian by the finish by half a car length.
Grant Downing and the Venom Tundra and Matt Hartford and the Summit Racing Cavalier had a hard time breaking in the first round. This put Jorge Lazcano against Jose LeDue in the semis. And while Lazcano has run 7s in the past, he gave the instant win to LeDue when he red lit.
Ioannou had a Bye in the semis, but the real drama occurred after his pass trying to crawl out of the driver's seat. After removing his helmet, Ioannou scraped his scalp on the latch that holds up the safety netting, leaving a bleeding 3-inch gash. Medics wouldn't let him run his final round until he went to the hospital. Would he make it back to the track in time to make his final round run against LeDue?
With the final round almost through, a stitched-up Ioannou was rushed back to his racecar waiting in the lanes. And to show the crowd just how well he was doing, he laid down a 6.857-second pass at 203 mph, shutting the door on any hopes LeDue may have had of taking the Pro Class win.
All MotorCompetition was close as most all-motor entrants were within a second of each other. If any competitors had a bad launch or poor reaction, they'd probably be packing up early. In the quarterfinal round, the old-school VW Bug of Daniel Rodriguez took out the Corrado of Nate Romero.
But any hopes of Rodriguez finishing first were squelched in the semis when he ran an off-pace 12-second pass to Chad Barber's 11.426. Barber had taken out Edwin Velez in the quarterfinal round, and with a victory in the semis, Barber secured a position in the finals.
Also making his way through the pack was Buddy Dunagan. Dunagan wasn't the fastest all-motor car, but he was the most consistent, running solid, low 12-second times as well as garnering quick reaction times, as Lisa Feehely saw in the quarterfinal round and Dedrick Medina saw in the semis. Dunagan managed a holeshot on Chad Barber in the final round, but it all came down to horsepower. Barber was able to easily pull ahead of Dunagan by midtrack, finishing almost a second faster and giving Barber the IDRC All-Motor win.

I haven`t ever used so stable open source software.
I use almost every day! A great project! Thank you!
After reading the well-written usage tutorial, this quickly became one of my favorite programs. It's very well-made, includes many features, with one of my favorite being that you can quite easily make plugins to add features it might not have yet! It also has great documentation and fast responses on the forums! It's awesome! :D
Very useful project!
I'm using it every day of the week with a nifty little Nagios plugin I wrote. I'm still dogfooding the whole thing before I release it, but I do plan to release my work soon.

Eau Claire (WQOW) - Being safe out while out in the woods should always be on the minds of hunters and their loved ones. With the bow season under way and the gun deer season right around the corner there might be one safety precaution that might slip your mind.
Tree stand harnesses, arrows, and guns are usually what you think about when you think hunter safety, but what about your heart?
"Me personally I do think about it about a little bit, "said hunter Will Moulton "If you've ever drug a deer out or put up a tree stand it's strenuous and you're heart gets beating and as you get older I think you pay a little more attention to that."
Those heart pumping activities can be a danger to hunters especially if they haven't been physically active in a while.
"To suddenly be out in the middle of no where and to suddenly increase your activity can lead to angina which is chest pains, to rhythm disturbances, to frankly a heart attack," said Dr. John Rozich.
Checking in with their doctor isn't something that's usually at the front of hunter's minds as they prepare to land that monster buck. But doctors encourage hunters to come in before they head out into the woods.
"You have to ask yourself is it worth having a little bit of a check before vs. Winding up in the ER or worst case scenario precipitating something that could be life threatening," said Rozich.
It's not just heart problems that can strike hunters. Sprains, strains, breaks and tears can all happen out in the field which makes having an emergency plan very important
"It's important to carry a cell phone," said Moulton "unfortunately we aren't always in an area where service is available so letting people know when you're hunting is very important so if you don't come home or don't show up at the cabin someone can come look for you."
Dr. Rozich says that common sense rules the day for hunters. He says knowing your physical limit is key to avoiding any issues the increased activity hunting brings.
Major medical problems are not the only thing hunters should prepare for. The Wisconsin DNR is also warning hunters about deer ticks and the diseases they carry since the tick population is higher this year in Wisconsin.

DIY Backpainted Glass Backsplashes
We haven't done this project ourselves (yet), but it's something we're considering for our own kitchen. So, we set out to find DIY backpainted glass on the web. Let's just say it's not very widely represented. So, while we aren't going to venture to tell you how to do this (yet!), we would like to share with you what little we turned up:
Judging from the examples collected here, it sounds as though a backpainted glass backsplash is definitely a possible DIY. It costs a pretty penny to hire it done - and many will try to sway you in that direction - but those who have done it and succeeded generally seem to recommend it. Here are a few examples as pictured above:
- A stunning blue example using a product called Glass Primer.
- From Skyhooks and other Projects, a spray-painted glass panel held up with double-sided tape.
- Read the story of Terri Brandmueller's backsplash at Frugalbits.

I've actually done the same thing at an old house of mine with plexiglass. It worked just as well (giving the same effect) without the expense. I just had to be a little more mindful of scratches.
Mounting was easy since I could just glue the back to the wall without it showing because of the paint.
Although this seems an easy DIY, it's not that simple. It's difficult to get a good bond between glass and paint without sandblasting first. If you use any typical adhesion to mount the glass to the wall, the adhesive will bond with the paint instead of the glass, and it could come tumbling down at any minute when the bond weakens. If you want to do this, try mounting with clips or a channel for the best security. (Also, it's common to see the adhesive through the paint and glass, not very pretty!)
My office (architecture) has specified back-painted glass backsplashes for a number of kitchens. It looks great, though you need to be aware of the green-blue tinge that the glass itself will add to the paint colour chosen. I don't know what surface preparation or special formulation is needed to bond the paint to the glass. There is a special construction adhesive that you can use to glue the glass to the wall -- it's normally used to glue mirrors in place.
If you use the much more expensive Starphire glass, you do not get the blue/green tinge due to the low iron and no lead in the glass.
It says Glassprimer™ glass paint was used in the backsplashes above. This is because it permanently bonds to the glass unlike regular paint. Silicone glue, double sided tape, and mirror mastics work hand in hand with it making it really easy to create and install without ever pulling the paint off or showing through etc, I know this since I have worked with it on a few occasions now with no problems. These new colored glass environments are really stunning and def seem to be a DIY. I see now that the official glass paint site is glasspaint.com Check it out for yourself...
Alchemy Glassworks can supply backpainted glass in practically any color on low iron glass. they also have instructions on install their site is alchemyglassworks.com

A Game of Thrones, the first book in the Song of Ice and Fire series, is incredible! I am not going to be too detailed because there are thousands of other reviews out there, but hopefully I will provide enough information for you to decide if you want to read this book.
The book is written from multiple viewpoints, but it is easy to read because they are separated by chapters. Each chapter is a different person you are reading about. It is also written in a unique dialogue, but Martin still makes it understandable. I had no difficulty reading through the book. Also, this book flows very well because there are not many places in which you would actually want to stop reading (probably the only one in the series that has such little down-time)
The story is original, multi-layered with lots of sub plots, and is non-formulaic (good beats bad against impossible odds). It is incredibly exciting, suspenseful, mysterious, and very unpredictable. There is almost no way for you to know what is going to happen.
The story is also very violent. This may upset some people, so it will be good to know going in that there is a lot of battles, sex, incest, swearing, and just about everything else.
The characters are well developed and enjoyable. Some are even clever and secretive. Unlike most fantasy books, Martin's characters are not totally good or evil, they are definitely in between. His characters are also very personable. You can think of them as real people and you develop strong emotions towards them throughout the novel. I'm not going to say which characters, but many of his characters are killed off and new ones appear throughout the series. If that bothers you than this may not be the book for you.
If you are tired of reading formulaic fantasy, having the heroes stay alive against impossible odds, and a lot of violence doesn't bother you, than I would definitely give this series a try. However, this is the only book in the series that can stand alone (just barely since I know I wanted to read more) so be in for a huge time commitment if you read past this book. Also, be in for a disappointment if you love all of the books and then get left without closure on book 5, since the others haven't been released yet.
Note: If you want to watch the TV show I would definitely read the books first or you will get bored with the books because they become predictable.
I picked this up after watching the series and was lucky that I had seen the series since there's so many characters to keep straight. I enjoyed it very much and will probably read the entire series.
Wow. What an imagination! Multiple characters, multiple settings, multiple adventures.
I think that one of the biggest mistakes regarding the "A Song of Ice and Fire" chronicles is saying that it is practically "the side version of Lord of the Rings". It is good? Yes. It is epic? Absolutely. But the stories and scenarios and characters are completely different, so no, this is not a second "Lord of the Rings". But that doesn't necessarily mean that the series does not have a charm on its own. And although the main theme of the book seems to be "political intrigues", you can still enjoy a great amount of the fantasy touch.
As I said before, the story of this book is not one bit like Lord of the Rings. The focus is on the political intrigues that happen among the Great Houses. The great King Robert one day comes to the cold city of Winterfell asking his best friend to ask as the "Hand" of the King, the second person who has more authority in the Kingdom. Winterfell's leader Eddard Stark agrees, although he feels like something is very wrong in the whole story.
One of the good aspects of the book is that is happens through the point of view of different people. You will see the whole story through the eyes of the young Brandon Stark, through the eyes of the ambitious dwarf Tyrion Lannister and several other interesting and somewhat complex characters, which gives a different taste to the book. The story does not emphasize one single as being particularly good or evil, which is great. And unlike most of the stories that have more than one character's point of view, you can actually feel like the story has shifted, not that the characters act and think exactly like one another, as it happens on Bram Stoker's Dracula.
The "bad" thing about the book is that there are LOTS of characters and those who didn't watch the series may feel slightly confused at first.
I nice book. Perhaps not something that will quench Tolkien's fans' thirst for another Lord of the Rings, but enough to entertain you for a couple of hours.
What a fantastic book. It can take a while to get into, but when you do the rewards are well worth it and it's refreshing to read a fantasy work that not only is well written but has great character's too.
Highly recommended!
And yet, I couldn't stop reading. And it wasn't with the kind of self-loathing desperation for closure that took me to the end of The Da Vinci Code. I read A Game Of Thrones with genuine pleasure. It may be a cartoon, but it's one that is brilliantly drawn. Archaic absurdity aside, Martin's writing is excellent. His dialogue is snappy and frequently funny. His descriptive prose is immediate and atmospheric, especially when it comes to building a sense of deliciously dark foreboding relating to a long winter that is about to engulf his fictional land.
The best about this is the way you can trust it to all fit together and make sense. If Martin mentions something without explaining it, it'll be explained later, or anyway alluded to so that you can put it together yourself. It's overflowing with detail and you can trust that all of the detail belongs and is necessary and interesting. The world and the story are completely immersive, with no jolts to jerk you out of your suspension of disbelief.
This is a perfect book.
There's honestly nothing I can think of that could improve it in any way. This is a book that made me shout at it, that made me giggle and cry, that made me gasp, that made me tremble and hate and love. It's seamless; I'd say it's unputdownable, except that sometimes I found I desperately needed to put it down because I was overwhelmed with the wonder of it, only to pick it up again half an hour later.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553573403, Mass Market Paperback)Readers of epic fantasy series are: (1) patient--they are left in suspense between each volume, (2) persistent--they reread or at least review the previous book(s) when a new installment comes out, (3) strong--these 700-page doorstoppers are heavy, and (4) mentally agile--they follow a host of characters through a myriad of subplots. In A Game of Thrones, the first book of a projected six, George R.R. Martin rewards readers with a vividly real world, well-drawn characters, complex but coherent plotting, and beautifully constructed prose, which Locus called "well above the norms of the genre."
Martin's Seven Kingdoms resemble England during the Wars of the Roses, with the Stark and Lannister families standing in for the Yorks and Lancasters. The story of these two families and their struggle to control the Iron Throne dominates the foreground; in the background is a huge, ancient wall marking the northern border, beyond which barbarians, ice vampires, and direwolves menace the south as years-long winter advances. Abroad, a dragon princess lives among horse nomads and dreams of fiery reconquest.
There is much bloodshed, cruelty, and death, but A Game of Thrones is nevertheless compelling; it garnered a Nebula nomination and won the 1996 Locus Award for Best Fantasy Novel. So, on to A Clash of Kings! --Nona Vero
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:54:36 -0400)
A tale of court intrigues in the land of Seven Kingdoms, a country "blessed by golden summers that go on for years, and cursed by cruel winters that can last a generation." The cold is returning to Winterfell, where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime. A time of conflict has arisen in the Stark family, as they are pulled from the safety of their home into a whirlpool of tradedy, betrayal, assassination plots and counterplots. Each decision and action carries with it the potential for conflict as several prominent families, comprised of lords, ladies, soldiers, sorcerers, assassins and bastards, are pulled together in the most deadly game of all, the game of thrones.… (more)

Comments about Point-of-Use Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater:
I installed it under kitchen sink.was very easy to install,but it doesn't have an on off switch,i had to add one next to it.
Best Uses
Comments about Point-of-Use Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater:
I ordered the water heater because I thought we would not be able to connect our new room addition to the home main heater. I research many heater options before ordering the Bosch, and found it to the the best unit of it's type on the market. CPO had the best price, and I have made purchases from them several time. They are a good vendor, fast and reliable. You can actually talk to them on the phone. Where you purchase a product is as important as the product. I recommend CPO, and will purchase many time from them. It worked out that I did not require a point of use heater, we were able to connect to the main home system. Perhaps that's where having a great vendor becomes really important. CPO immediately issued the return and credit, no questions asked. Great service! As for the Bosch heater, it would have been easy to install and as brands go, you can't go wrong with Bosch. I like it better that the tankless unit because of the low electrical requirement. Some tankless units would require major wiring and electrical demand. I plan to add a whole house gas tankless heater next year and will buy the Bosch for CPO when I do.
Best Uses
Comments about Point-of-Use Electric Mini-Tank Water Heater:
I am circulating the water in my 2500 gallon indoor turtle pond. The water passes through the filter and then through the heater and back into the pond. The temp control is set pretty low and I can control how fast the water passes through the heater. It is easy to keep the pond at around 78 degrees.
This warranty applies to both new and factory-reconditioned Ariston (Point of Use) water heaters.
Note: A water heater should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak, the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area in which it is installed.

Survey: Economy was reason for bond failure
Published on Thu, Jul 7, 2011 by
Jeremy Schwartz
Read More
The lagging economy and disagreements over funding priorities were the main reasons voters rejected the Blaine school district's recent $32 million bond initiative, according to survey results.
School board members, district officials and members of the public met on Monday, June 20, to review the district's bond survey results and discuss how best to move forward with another bond initiative.
The $32 million bond, which would have paid for a new high school building and other school improvements, failed by 0.9 percent in the April 26 election.
No concrete agreement was reached on when or how to ask voters for another bond initiative, but consensus was that upgrades to the school buildings need to happen sooner rather than later. Suggestions included going out with a roughly $2 million bond in February, alongside the district's renewal of its four-year maintenance and operations levy, or waiting a few years for the economy to improve. The maintenance and operations levy is one of the district's main funding sources.
Superintendent Ron Spanjer said 87 people completed the bond survey, which the district posted on its website. While 87 is less than 1 percent of those who voted in the bond election, Spanjer said the survey respondents did offer a glimpse into voters' concerns about the bond.
The survey contained four questions with a choice of answers and a section where respondents could write in comments. When asked why they thought the bond failed, about 30 out of 87 respondents gave the general state of the economy as the reason while 25 respondents said they had concerns with one or more items included as part of the initiative.
When asked what items should stay on the bond if the district sends it to voters again, close to 70 respondents said they want the $2 million to buy property for an eventual school in Birch Bay removed from any future bond initiative.
"Most people I have spoken with gave [the Birch Bay property] as the reason they voted no," one commenter wrote. "If we don't have the [population] now, they can't see purchasing it. We need to take care of what we have now and not worry about what 'might' happen later."
Birch Bay steering committee co-chair Doralee Booth said she would like to have seen more notice about the survey in Birch Bay. She felt the results were skewed against Birch Bay because many people in the community did not know about the survey.
Distributing announcements or flyers in Birch Bay would have helped get the word out effectively, Booth explained. While methods differed slightly, most meeting attendees agreed that district officials should work harder at reaching out to Birch Bay.
"Long range planning is important to our community," Booth said. "It's important to us that [the school district] knows we're there."
Spanjer expressed caution in creating artificial lines between communities. While Blaine and Birch Bay are different, they are still part of the same school district. Spanjer said he has always seen tremendously cohesive support for the district from the communities as a whole.

Though Leonard Soberanis is rather small in stature, the feds say he's a tough-guy in a South American drug operation and is now one of Chicago's most wanted men.
Soberanis was a member of the Belizian Bloods, a gang that was charged with moving kilos of powder and crack cocaine into Chicago and Evanston.
Soberanis' role was an enforcer in the organization, meaning he would provide security during drug transactions and collected money from drug customers.
The group was targeted as part of "Operation Blood Hound," which was investigating the Bloods for narcotics trafficking and passport fraud.
In that operation, the Belizian Bloods were led to believe that members of a Mexican drug cartel were moving about 50 kilos of cocaine from a stash house in Berwyn. They planned to intercept the drugs and if necessary kill three members of the Mexican organization to get the drugs. In reality, the Bloods were dealing with undercover agents.
Agents, working with other federal and state law enforcement agencies fanned out to make a serious of arrests, but Soberanis was one of just two gang members who avoided capture.
Soberanis is now the subject of a nationwide manhunt which is being coordinated here in Chicago by the Joint Task Force on Gangs. He has friends and family living in both Evanston and Chicago, who could be aiding his flight from justice.
Here now is a description of what the FBI says Leonard Soberanis looks like:
He is considered armed and dangerous. If you see him, call police.

The Buddha said that realization is about putting an end to suffering. It is not simply about feeling better, fixing our relationships, or improving our health. Although these things may happen, they are not the ultimate goal of practice, which is why it is important that we be very clear about or intent and not shortchange ourselves.

March 16, 2012
Whether they are dealing with a growing family or have simply decided to change some aspect of their property, many homeowners may find themselves considering renovations or remodeling projects after buying a home.
Many homeowners take on multiple home renovation projects to improve their home. Some people may prefer to get their major home-related activities out of the way all at once so they can move on to other things. Others may find it stressful, however, and there are a number of factors to take into account when considering major projects.
Patience and planning
Planning a renovation properly takes time, real estate resource MainStreet notes, and rushing can cause regrets later on. Homeowners in a hurry are less likely to take the time to speak to different contractors and carefully examine what they want. Homeowners who take the time research their contractor and map out their project often save money and have a better understanding for how the end project ill turn out. When homeowners rush it could lead to a flawed project or a successfully completed one that they realize was a mistake. At that point, it's too late.
When thinking about changing a new home, residents should take some time to figure out what options may work and what may not, and differentiate features that are worth changing from the ones that just unfamiliar.
Being patient and not devoting an oversized amount of their time to a project also allows homeowners to remain focused on everything else in their lives. This may include getting a new job, a child adjusting to new schools or other changes.
These factors may alter how the space of the home is to be used. For example, someone may determine that they need a larger work area at home than they expected.
Firsthand experience
One real estate agent told MainStreet that homebuyers often come to see a home differently after living in it for even a short time. They may find that they do not use the space the way they expected, gathering in some rooms more often than others.
Personal experience may also show that some rooms are colder at night, or warmer during some parts of the day, or have other characteristics that are difficult to anticipate. Alternatively, rooms may accommodate furniture and decorations very well in their current shape, and changing the home might not be worthwhile as a result.
