" Genre: Rock - Progressive Rock / Artist: Marillion / Audio CD released 2004-05-03 at Intact "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Marillion are one of those bands who forever suffer from their history. When they first arrived in the public's awareness, it was in 1985 with a single from their third album Misplaced Childhod, called Kayleigh - a hit ballad that still regularly turns up on 80s compilations, and their then lead singer Fish was a larger-than-life Scot who is still thought of as Fish from Marillion, even though he actually left the band in 1988! Before Kayleigh, they had been saddled with a reputation for being a Scottish heavy metal band (despite being based in Aylesbury) who sang about goblins. This is what you get for one of your very early songs being a 19 minute epic called Grendel... However, the band did not, as many believed, split up when Fish left. The new boy, Steve Hogarth, has now been fronting the band in his own charismatic way for more than 20 years. Along the way they have pioneered exploiting the internet to directly plug into the fan base, managing to fund an American tour and three albums by fan subscription, and been one of the first bands to have an extensive online shop selling albums and merchandise showing that it IS possible for a band with a good fanbase to be a successful business! This has been essential for their survival, since they get precious little airplay due to the traditional boycott of that odd Scottish heavy metal goblin-loving prog band. However, we freaks know when we have a good thing, and whether a long-in-the-tooth fan like me or a next-generation newbie, Marillion fans are a faithful breed, and Marbles is one of the results of the relationship between band and fans.
On December 17th, 2002, an email was sent to everyone on the Marillion mailing list. In it, they explained their plans for their next album, particularly marketing ideas. The basic premise was that the fans would be able to pre-order the album, either a standard version or the deluxe campaign edition, and the money from that would go to pay for the publicity which they felt had been completely neglected with the previous album when it had been left to the distribution company. Anyone who decided to take part would have their name printed in the booklet. I can't find the exact numbers who signed up but it was somewhere in the region of 13,000 people! Eventually released in May 2004, the campaign edition (which is the version that I have) is a beautiful object in its own right - hardcover book in a slipcase, full of artwork by graphic designer Carl Glover (of Aleph Studios) who's been working with the band for several years, and also all of those names! It also contains the full 2 disc version of the album. The retail version, however, is the one that went to the shops and is a single disc in a normal jewel case, with a revised tracklist, which is:
The Invisible Man
Marbles I
You're Gone
Marbles II
Don't Hurt Yourself
Fantastic Place
Marbles III
Drilling Holes
Marbles IV
The Invisible Man is a toughy - it's about a guy whose relationship has ended and he is portrayed as a ghost, unable to do anything to comfort or protect the one he loves anymore. The song builds constantly to a final outburst of frustration at this powerlessness. As a 'palette cleanser' you then have the first of the 'Marbles' interludes, a light patch before You're Gone, the single that made it to no7 in the singles charts on fan power alone, a heartfelt song again about the end of a relationship. Angelina is a chilled-out ode to a late-night DJ who keeps the guys happy, followed by part 2 of the Marbles saga. Another single, Don't Hurt Yourself, follows on with a very positive attitude encouraging the listener to move on from whatever situation they may be bogged down with and learn to move on, not torture yourself anymore - Steve Hogarth says that he wrote it as much for himself as anything else as he has a habit of dwelling on the bad things and beating himself up over his failures. Then comes one of the album's most emotive tracks, Fantastic Place - this has a great deal of personal meaning for me so it's hard to write about, but suffice to say that when it's performed live there are many tears shed by the audience and singer alike. It's about being away from all of life's problems, on that elusive island, where nothing can ever get in the way again. Marbles 3 picks us up again before we are accosted by Drilling Holes, an explosion in a paint shop of a song which is pure word play and great fun musically as well, a jolly good rock out and another one of my favourites from this album. Marbles 4 brings us down to Neverland, another emotional rollercoaster, and probably the best showcase for guitarist Steve Rothery on the album with his soaring solos beautifully complementing the Peter Pan inspired lyrics.
Personally I'd recommend the double CD version, it's still available from Marillion's own site:
I find it odd listening to Marbles without the extra four tracks as I've always had them! Genie is one of my favourites, it's a deceptive song, at first it seems quite light but it has the album's undercurrent of missed opportunities and temptations running just under the surface. The Only Unforgivable Thing is a curious song alluding to various forms of guilt, it has quite an ominous atmosphere to it. Ocean Cloud is a 20 minute tribute to the bravery of ocean rowers and their compulsion to battle the elements; and The Damage is Genie's partner piece where the temptations have won and regret is beginning to knock on the door.
Disc 1
The Invisible Man
Marbles I
Fantastic Place
The Only Unforgivable Thing
Marbles II
Ocean Cloud
Disc 2
Marbles III
The Damage
Don't Hurt Yourself
You're Gone
Drilling Holes
Marbles IV
This for me is the definitive version, not just because of the inclusion of the other four tracks, but also because I feel that the running order works so much better. But whichever version you choose, the songs and production are excellent. This album is now 6 years old, but still sounds fresh to my ears even after playing it to death when it was first released. The Invisible Man, You're Gone, Fantastic Place and Neverland have since deservedly become live classics. Each of those songs is a journey into loss in a way, and coping with hopelessness; the four 'Marbles' interludes are a (slightly) light-hearted play on mind-marbles as well as physical glass ones; then Don't Hurt Yourself, Drilling Holes and Angelina are all each in their way uplifting. Drilling Holes is one of my favourite songs from the album, simply because it is quite mad and lyrically fun, although Neverland pips it for sheer soaring beauty and emotive power.
If you fancy finding out what Marillion sound like after all these years, or if you've never heard of them before at all, you can exchange your email address for a free sampler CD or download at http://www.marillion.com/listen/index.htm
I can guarantee that they will not spam you or sell your email on - I've been on their mailing list for years and never had a problem.
Marillion have been around for a long time now and every album they produce is unpredictable in the style of music or even the quality.
This album was produced with love and care. Financed by pre-sales by loving fans, this album helped thrust Marillion back into the limelight and show music fans that they were still capable of competing with contemporary artists/ productions.
Marbles is a unique concept in progressive rock. The album is threaded with the title track - returning to the theme of childhood innocence in little snippets which aren't really full length tracks but which are just long enough to charm you. In effect, the Marbles sections are one song split into tiny bits and scattered around the album. It is like the ghost of yourself, your childhood self, that you can never really let go of.
The first track, Invisible Man, is an epic, haunting piece which is typical Marillion and which harks back to their Brave album, in many ways. You're Gone was the first single released off the album and it reached number seven in the UK charts. It is electric and buzzing with energy. It is a well crafted party piece that helped create a lot of hype for the band. Angelina and Fantastic Place are love potions for the gentlemen fans, mainly. Drilling Holes is a slightly comedic piece and Neverland is a triumph of passion. This is the shorter album. A double album is available via the bands website and includes several more songs.

Oil and Gas stocks lead the downfall
Indian equity markets continued to trade weak over the last two hours of trade on back of heavy selling pressure witnessed across industry heavyweights. Oil and Gas and Banking stocks witnessed maximum selling pressure.
The Sensex today is down by 112 points, while the Nifty today is down by 37 points. BSE Mid Cap index and the BSE Small Cap index are down by 0.19% and 0.12%. The rupee is trading at 55.19 to the US dollar.
Steel stocks are trading in the red led by JSW Steel and JSW Ispat. According to a leading financial daily, the government of India has approved the sale of 10.82% of its stake in Steel Authority of India (SAIL). The proposal, mooted by the department of disinvestment, was deferred in the last week's meeting of cabinet committee on economic affairs (CCEA).The share sale process, proposed to be conducted through auction route or offer for sale, is expected to fetch over Rs 40 bn to the government. The disinvestment department will decide on the timing of the issue depending upon market conditions. Due to the poor market conditions, the government has not been able to launch the disinvestment programme for the current fiscal so far, although it aims to raise Rs 300 bn by selling stakes in the public sector firms.
Engineering stocks are trading mixed with Crompton Greaves and KSB Pumps leading the list of gainers while Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) and Everest Kanto Cylinder were the top losers. As per a leading financial daily, the Union Cabinet has imposed a 21% duty on imports of power equipment. The duty will have three components: 12% countervailing duty, 5% import duty and 4% special additional duty. Presently, the import duty for projects of less than 1,000 megawatt capacity is 5% customs duty and those more than the mentioned capacity enjoy exemption. The new development spells good news for state-owned companies BHEL and Larsen & Toubro (L&T) who are competing with their Chinese peers who manufacture cheap boilers-turbines-generators. However, power generation companies fear hike in cost of power generation resulting out of this move.

Pregnant and not really wanting sex... ???
Alrighty short background * my fiance and I have been together for 3 years, and sex was twice a day every day until I got pregnant* I am about 4 weeks along, and sex is a little painful, and I don't have the urge to "do it" as much as we use to. He is getting aggravated :/ Anyone else have these problems??? I need advice! ( Also I feel like it might complicate the pregnancy, is it safe?)

Sex is 100% safe during pregnancy unless your doctor specifically tells you not to. He or she will only do that if you have certain complications, which most women don't. Otherwise sex is really safe. Remember, your cervix is tightly closed for most of the pregnancy and the baby is inside his amniotic sac and isn't exposed to anything from the outside at all. It's not uncommon for women to not feel like having sex in the first trimester. Although it shouldn't be too painful, if that continues you might want to go to the doctor. Anyway, most women get their sex drives back, often x 10, starting around 12 weeks. Sex in the 2nd and 3rd trimesters can be really great because of all the extra blood in the area. You should tell your fiance to be patient with you and understanding of your condition. He needs to learn that pregnancy (and definitely childbirth & having a baby around) sometimes means periods of less sex. Hope everything gets better soon!posted 04/27/2011 by a BabyCenter Member
Haha I am 7 weeks along and no longer want or enjoy sex at all! Glad to know I am normal. Anyway, your partner will live I promise.posted 08/10/2011 by a BabyCenter Member

Hey Girl, I'm going through the exact same thing. I'm 11 weeks & I haven't had sex with my boyfriend since before I was 6 weeks.. poor guy! But just remember this time right now is really precious & if you need a little space just talk to him about it, our guys love us & we made this amazing baby together, he can wait just a bit until we get our sex drives back! And then they will be complaining that they never get to sleep! lol good luck babes, and dont feel alone, its totally normal <3posted 06/21/2012 by alyssabailie
thank you sooooo much! I moved from michigan to south carolina with him, away from our families *i have a little bit of family down here* but parent wise, and for the past 2 years i kinda hoped for that second line on the test, now with this stressful move, stressful time with work and everything I am pregnant and DEFFINATLy just not feeling the sex, its great to know that other people feel that way, because all my girlfriends who have children are all up in michigan, so I kinda feel alone :( Again thank you <3 <3 <3posted 04/27/2011 by CareBear8408

Don't feel bad, my husband is constantly in the mood and it's only gotten worse since we found out (he finds it attractive that I'm carrying our baby don't ask although its a nice compliment) we haven't had any type of sexual intimacy in about four weeks and I feel beyond terrible about it but when the stupid hormones make me cry about it he actually comforts me holds me and tells me its alright although right now even if I felt up to it I wouldn't let him purely because there is a slight tear in the placenta. Just explain that you feel terrible that you can't but it causes you too much pain and your libido is shotposted 10/20/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the United States, and there are an estimated 60 million cases worldwide.
Glaucoma occurs when eye pressure increases and creates stress on the optic nerve. If the nerve is damaged, vision loss occurs. In most cases, glaucoma causes no pain and creates no other symptoms until vision loss becomes noticeable.Because there are no symptoms, regular eye exams are crucial to maintaining eye health.
Warning Signs & Symptoms
Open-angle glaucoma (OAG) is the most common form in America. It has no initial symptoms and primarily affects people over the age of 50.
OAG occurs when pressure slowly builds until the eye is damaged. Symptoms only appear once the optic nerve is damaged, peripheral vision is lost or the cornea swells, though often the condition is painless. Without treatment, total blindness will occur.
Acute closed-angle glaucoma is the result of a sudden blockage in the flow of fluid between the iris and the lens. Symptoms include:
Most glaucoma is diagnosed through a routine pressure check using tonometry, which is part of a comprehensive eye exam. Regular eye exams can help diagnose OAG early, and early diagnosis is imperative to prevent vision loss from the condition.
The purpose of glaucoma treatment is to reduce intraocular pressure.
Medicated eye drops are the most common form of treatment. While eye drops are effective for many people, the treatment routine can be complicated, so it is imperative to follow the instructions provided by your physician.
If your doctor determines surgery may help prevent vision loss, it may be the recommended treatment option.
Both procedures allow fluid to flow out of the eye more easily, thereby decreasing pressure.
Open-angle glaucoma is not preventable, but you can stop vision loss from the condition. Most people with open-angle glaucoma have no symptoms, so early diagnosis and careful management are imperative.
In order to maintain your eye health and stave off glaucoma, follow these rules:

It was like a scene out of a movie.
Witnesses on Friday described the horror of a fatal collision Thursday morning in which a big rig veered out of control on Interstate 80, sliced through eight lanes of traffic, killed two people in an oncoming car and burst into flames.
"He should have killed a bunch more people. It was terrible," witness Brian Hodgins told The Bee.
The 52-year-old from San Carlos had a front row seat to the crash that unfolded 200 feet before him shortly after 10:30 a.m. Thursday. Hodgins was traveling two cars behind in the second eastbound lane when he noticed the big rig in the slow lane gradually veering right onto the shoulder.
At that point, he said the truck suddenly swerved 30 degrees to the left into the other eastbound lanes, taking out two cars before piercing through the center divide and hitting a westbound BMW sedan head-on. Hodgins said the truck was going about 60 mph and did not signal or brake.
"The truck sliced through the guardrail like butter," he said. "There was no hop, no bounce. It was unbelievable."
The BMW exploded into flames and its occupants, Phang Phetsomphou, 76, and Bouaket Phetsomphou, 74, died instantly, the Solano County Sheriff-Coroner's Office reported Friday. Both were from Petaluma.
The accident was over within seconds, Hodgins said, but nothing seemed to stop the truck.
"The cars were like toys," he said. "The truck was unfazed. It went on its merry way."
The incident spanned the entire stretch of highway east of the University of California, Davis. It brought traffic to a standstill, with the California Highway Patrol closing eastbound lanes for two hours and westbound lanes for seven.
The trucker identified as John Manuszak, 45, of Fresno told authorities he briefly lost consciousness after choking on food, according to CHP Officer Chris Parker.
Manuszak suffered minor to moderate injuries and was listed in fair condition at UC Davis Medical Center on Friday. He and his family declined to comment.
The CHP has ruled out alcohol and drugs as factors in the collision.
George Chao was just two exits away from his destination in Davis when he was struck from behind by the big rig.
"My car spun eight times," the 33-year-old engineer said in Mandarin during a phone interview Friday. "I yelled: 'God save me!' "
Seconds later, he emerged unscathed, except for a small scratch on his forehead.
"I was thinking to myself, 'Am I going to survive?' " Chao said.
"If he had traveled one second earlier, he would be dead," Hodgins said.
A 1993 BMW station wagon that was the second car struck by the truck wasn't as lucky. That vehicle slammed into the center divide. Both occupants, Daniel Himelstein, 51, and Jacob Himelstein, 10, were transported to UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento with moderate injuries.
Manuszak reportedly told witnesses afterward that he had choked on a french fry, according to Hodgins.
The trucker appears to have a history of run-ins with the law, public records from LexisNexis indicate.
In the past seven years, he was arrested more than half a dozen times on various charges, including burglary, car theft and domestic violence, according to arrest records from LexisNexis. Additionally, he was put on probation and had his driver's license revoked in 2006.
The truck is privately owned by the driver while the trailer is registered to Fresno-based Mendoza Distributing, according to the CHP. A representative of the firm, however, denied the company owned the trailer involved in Thursday's crash.
Authorities are still investigating the crash. It remains unclear whether the trucker will face any charges. He has not been cited or arrested.
Parker noted that the decision on whether to file charges will come from the Solano County District Attorney's Office.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Parliament formally endorsed Italy's Mario Draghi to be the next president of the European Central Bank on Thursday.
When Mario Draghi (now ECB President), had oversight of the Italian bank system as Bank of Italy Governor, the Italian bank Monte dei Paschi di Siena (Italy's third largest bank) hid information on the derivatives transactions between 2006 and 2009.
This information is just now out, and shares of the bank have plunged 22% in a few days. Mario Draghi ought to be under fire, but he says it's a "Matter for the Italian Authorities".
The Mish translation is "It's a Matter for the Italian Authorities, to Sweep Under the Rug".
FRANKFURT (Reuters
Discord Emerges
It's not just Germany expressing reservations about the ECB's plan to "Save the Euro". Spain, Italy, and Germany all have concerns about the plan launched last week by ECB president Mario Draghi.
Get ready for record low interest rates in Europe as ECB ready to push boundaries of crisis role
A Reuters survey of 73 analysts showed a 60-percent chance the ECB will cut rates by 25 basis points to a record low of 1.0 percent -- a floor it previously reached during the financial crisis in 2009. It cut rates by a similar amount in November.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank is expected to keep its main interest rate at a record low 0.5 percent on Thursday but tweaks to its economic forecasts may give investors a steer on the future direction of policy.
The main news in today's European roundup is the reiteration by ECB president Mario Draghi EU Treaty Prohibits "Monetary Financing"
Following a relatively tiny two-day rally in the Euro the ECB blows its horn with a statement Credit Crunch AvertedThe euro rose, extending its first weekly gain versus the dollar in six weeks, as Italian bonds advanced and after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said policy makers have averted a credit shortage.

PLAYERS: Chris Perez
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox
TEAMS: Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox
The Cleveland Indians have announced that closer Chris Perez has suffered a right shoulder strain, an injury that is expected to sideline him for the next three to four weeks. Chris Perez has a strain of the subscapularis muscle in his right shoulder.Won't throw for the next 7-10 days & will not pitch in the WBC — Cleveland Indians (@Indians) March 1, 2013 Perez was scheduled to pitch yesterday during the Indians' spring training matchup against the Chicago White Sox. Instead, manager Terry Francona told reporters before the game that the closer would not appear. The skipper gave off a strange vibe while doing so, according to Paul Hoynes of The Plain Dealer, and he told reporters he'd have more information on Saturday. Perez was then seen leaving the complex. All the closer would say as he was driving away was "I'm not saying anything." There was speculation that the right-hander was being traded before word of the injury broke. Perez will now not pitch in the World Baseball Classic, while the injury also puts his Opening Day availability in question.

Shinde's 'saffron terror' remark is a matter of deep concern: BJP
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Thursday said that while it has accepted Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde's apology over his ''saffron terror'' remark in the interest of democracy and to allow Parliament to function without disruption, and added that it was still quite disturbed about the fact that he did make the statement, giving room to hostile countries like Pakistan to say that India has a Home Minister who claims that political parties are indulging in terror within territorial limits.
BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said the main opposition party fairly believes that the statement made by Shinde was not incidental, but made with intent and desire. "But none the less, he has given a public apology. We do accept it, but a disturbing fact remains that his statement has given reasons for a hostile country like Pakistan to take a ground that look here is a Home Minister who himself claims in India that political parties indulge in terror, giving hand and an upper hand to terrorist like Hafiz Saeed is a matter of deep concern," said Rudy.
"But having said that, we accept the apology that he has apologised to the RSS, he has apologised to the BJP for calling them terrorists or running training camps. In the interest of democracy, in the interest of Parliament, we accept his apology," he added. To a poser on Digvijay Singh and other leaders of the ruling party at the Centre talking a similar line, Rudy said this shows the psyche of the Congress Party and the so called vote bank politics.
"Well, when you talk about other leaders of the Congress Party, we will not take much cognisance (of) people who call Osama Bin Laden as Osama ji and try to plea the case for the Batla House encounter. So, we will not like to make comments. But this expresses, indicates the psyche of the Congress Party and the so-called vote bank politics, which is very unfortunate," he said.

Fugitive of the Week: Thomas J. Golliver
Golliver, 23, is wanted on warrants from U.S. District Court for probation violations on an original charge of conspiracy to distribute narcotics.
He is described as 5-feet-7, 160 pounds, with green eyes and brown hair. He has "Vendetta" tattooed on his fingers, a tattoo on his right eye and sleeve tattoos on both arms. He also has piercings on his ears and lower lip. He was known to be living in Manchester or Keene, and is likely still in one of those areas.
The U.S. Marshals Service advises the public not to attempt to apprehend a fugitive, who should be considered armed and dangerous. Instead, report any information to the U.S. Marshals Service's Concord office at 225-1632.

In order to take back Congress, the Democrats must court the votes of the substantial population of Americans who identify themselves as moderates, specifically the white, working-class Christian vote. This elusive portion of the electorate will not be won over by Democratic domestic policies, which stem from humanitarianism but often smack of patronage when delivered outside the base. Senator Barack Obama (D-Il.) told The New Yorker magazine in May that a successful swing state candidate should stand for progressive values, but theyve got to appeal to common sense as opposed to ideology.
Our own Minnesota is once again a swing state, and Democratic senatorial candidate Amy Klobuchar was ahead of six-year Republican incumbent Mark Kennedy by ten points in the August 23-27 Gallup Poll in what promises to be a dangerously close race. Federal Exchange Commission filings reveal that both Senate candidates in Minnesota enjoy the support of state business organizations as well as that of partisan groups and political action committees.
The disparate Democrats need to unite and to clarify their stance on Iraq it has been embarrassing to watch them try to show solidarity with and distances themselves from outbursts such as Pennsylvania Representative John Murthas, but their much-touted exit strategies are not enough. Iraq has been so thoroughly corrupted that no satisfactory solution exists. The Democrats should campaign emphasizing their most valuable contribution in the last Congress: performing the legislatural duty of holding the executive branch accountable.
Granted, the Democrats began to fulfill this role belatedly, concerned more with personal electability than executive accountability leading up to the war in Iraq. But it is widely acknowledged that this country was led to war on inadequate intelligence, and military experts, former administration officials, and the general public agree we are entrenched in a quagmire with no end in sight.
Neither party can provide a satisfactory solution; every politician pushing for an immediate exit fails to mention that any pullout would take years. But the Democratic Party can unite around a gradual exit strategy and assure the electorate that they will continue checking the Presidents powers. President Bush has asserted his authority in the illegal treatment of prisoners nominally protected under Common Article III of the Geneva Conventions, surveillance of phone and internet lines without a warrant, and numerous other contestable executive actions in the war on terror.
The incompetency of the Republican Party in other areas also must be stressed in the Democratic strategy to take back the House and the Senate. This Republican Congress, with the recent exceptions of dissenting Senators John Warren, John McCain, and Lindsey Graham, has strayed from its 1994 Contract With America, which promised, among other things, congressional reform and accountability. In the face of Republican mistakes and scandals, the Democratic Party has committed itself to accountability, and, given a congressional majority with concomitant subpoena power, could fight even harder to protect our national security, the safety of our troops and the integrity of the executive branch of our government.

About meIn this good company, it's easy to say that I love books. That's the obvious point. But the fact is that if I won the lottery tomorrow, the first thing I would do is go straight to the nearest bookstore and, for the first time in my life, buy everything I want. After I returned the rental truck used to haul my lottery-money-paid-for books home, I would buy a bigger house (for my books), perhaps a hybrid car (for use in traveling long distances to seek out more books), and many, many more bookshelves.
About my libraryI'm nearly done cataloguing my books here on LT -- after six years, you'd think I'd have gotten there, but it's a process. Only about 500 more to go, I think. With 3000 or so books, my library is pretty varied, but it does seem to be mostly fiction, which is more a matter of habit than any antipathy toward true stories. The books have pretty much taken over the house because the book room is quite full. Someday I will get them organized. At the moment, I know where most of my fantasy and science fiction books are, I have coherent sections for pre-twentieth century classics, Irish literature, and global myth and folktales, but the other genre sections have mutated and sprawled to the point that one never really knows what one will find on a given shelf (or floor-stack). What can I say? My library is an adventure.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for your SantaThing choices (and sorry for the late thank you note!). Not too long before Chrismas, I put To Say Nothing of the Dog on my wishlist, so you read my mind (or, rather, read my mind before I had even made it up). Three Men in a Boat has also been on my radar for ages, so thank you very much! And I look forward to the Tim Powers book, I've got a long train ride to take in a few days, and that's going to be my travel reading. Thanks again! I hope you had a wonderful holiday season!

Hi, Sarah! I'm sorry but I already sent my copy of Fire off to someone else. As far as which to read first, I don't think it really matters. Fire is technically a prequel to Graceling, but I don't think it really matters what order they are read in. They take place in the same world, but in very different countries within that world and feature different heroines and sets of characters. I read Graceling first a few years ago, and enjoyed it, and then I read Fire in 2011 and loved it even more.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the marvelous SantaThing books! They are all wonderful choices for me and reflect quite a bit of thought and care in selection. The truly amazing thing about your picks is that you managed to find three in a genre I read heavily which I had not yet read! I have already zipped through Princess Academy, which I enjoyed very much, and I'm looking forward to dipping my toe into the wonderfully named collection of tales next.
I see from your bio that you teach mythology. One of my favorite courses in college (back in the dark ages) was Western Mythology. My professor was Elizabeth Marie Pope (whose retelling of Tam Lin, called The Perilous Gard, I highly recommend, if you haven't read it.) She always said that she wanted to call the course "101 thing every bright girl should know" but the college wouldn't let her do it.
Anyway, thanks again for being my Santa this year!

About your The Left Hand of God review:
"It is a book that presents some intriguing characters, but inconsistently and casually changes their nature so that they are sometimes relatable and sometimes repugnant."
That sentence sums up everything I hated about the book. I couldn't finish it and though one rarely says this, thanks for the spoiler regarding the ending. I am glad now that I didn't make it that far. I rather enjoyed the first third, but hit the middle and felt like the book just fell apart.

I just read your review of The Magicians and appreciated it enough to come and tell you so. Thank you! I don't think I'll need to read it now. It's no surprise that we're kin of some sort; I've had that "Win the Lottery and Buy Books" dream too. (My husband thinks I'm doing well enough as it is.)
I see that most of what we have in common is fantasy and scifi with a classic or so thrown in to support the snob factor. Anyway, well-met!

I started a thread in the 75-book group for a group read/discussion of The Elegance of the Hedgehog. There's at least one other person who is interested in doing this!
I put in a request at the library for six books and they have called me to say that four of them are being held for me, so I may be picking this book up tomorrow--not sure.
Looking forward to it.

Howdy! I'm sorry you couldn't make it. At this point, I'm afraid the only thing I've got scheduled is a signing at Nicola's Books in Ann Arbor next month.
I'm sure I'll be doing another round of signings and readings when Red Hood's Revenge comes out in July, though!

Funny you should say that about hearing it in her voice - one of the things that sticks in my mind about the reading is that she introduced the second story saying, "This one was written for the voice - not *my* voice!" I still haven't read my copy of Taking Pictures - signed after the event and still wrapped up in its plastic bag, the mark of a book junkie I fear. I think there's another collection out this year - has Weather in the title, possibly Yesterday's Weather? - but I also have a feeling that it's an anthology of existing stuff rather than new.

Having enjoyed your thoughts on The Gathering, just wanted to share a link to a reading and Q&A that Enright did last year at the London Review Bookshop:
She reads two stories from Taking Pictures, then answers some audience questions.

"Dudeness"? I think you need to lay off the decongestants for awhile! And I agree, the GG's were rather lame. I went to bed at 10; didn't even finish them.
Of course I'm going to the Hines reading! With you, I'm hoping. I picked up my book yesterday to try to have it read by then.
And I'm assuming that you have internet now?

With six classes, it has to be difficult to do much else but grade papers! Ya know, if you enjoy teaching, you could do worse than a PhD. You'd stand a much better chance of a permanent post if you went for it.
In terms of short story recommendations, I don't really have any. I've been reading long fiction lately (3/4 of the way through Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother" atm - a great read!).

Still in Michigan, though we're heading for an LSD trip (don't get excited, it stands for Look, See, Decide) to Scotland next summer. We're still looking at relocation there in 2010, which is grand, since that's about the time my nephew will start summer college prep work at St. Andrews.
I should probably mention that I've sold all my Clarion stories but two; one is slated for revision for the short story collection I'm working on, and the other is out right now (cross yer fingers). I'm really happy with the way my writing career is progressing, largely thanks to you and the rest of the staff who were so good to me.

Well, as a matter of fact, I already started a thread in the original discussion group, and you can go here to see that. I just wanted to keep everything in one place. And I was going to try to keep it to only books that I currently own or received for the Holidays, but yeah, 12 days into the year, and I've already broken that rule (Absolute Sandman anyone?). Which reminds me, I've got some reading to do.

Hi! I just noticed your comment about Marjorie Liu on the "What did You Buy Today" group. I will definately let you know what I think of Red Heart of Jade. I absolutely loved her short story in the book Dark Dreamers, I believe called A Dream of Stone and Shadow, which was why I bought the other book. It was a fantastic story about a psychic and a gargoyle. You're so lucky to have met her. I'm going to have to start paying more attention to who is coming around to do book signings. People don't usually get up into my area. I had to travel for 2 hours to go see Stephenie Meyer.

The house was full of termites and other parasites plus toxic mold, The scum lord owner refused to fix problems that greatly affected my health? All repairs paid out of my pocket. We left belongings, temporarily, as it wasn't safe to move moldy bug infested items due to possible cross-contamination? Somehow Justice Of The Peace handed down an eviction anyway and a judgement for rent we didn't owe. I wasn't allowed to present my evidence. Rental violated many city codes and rules making it an illegal rental, I found out when I had inspector come see the home,
It sounds like you appeared at the trial. Your remedy WAS to appeal to the county court. If the appeal deadline has passed (5 days after Judgment) there is nothing you can do. Your claims/causes of action were most likely compulsory counter claims and had to be brought in that action. You should consult with a local landlord tenant attorney to verify as I do not know all of the facts and timelines concerning your specific case.
Thank you for your question. An eviction does not necessarily go on "your record." It sounds as though a judgment was entered in the Justice of the Peace Court. If the judgment included an award of monetary damages, the plaintiff could file an abstract of judgment with the County Clerk, thereby creating a public record that may be discovered during a credit search. Generally, people do not abstract a judgment for possession, although it is possible. As for the records kept by the Justice of the Peace, you will not be able to change or alter those records if you did not appeal the decision within five days of the judgment.

Flash Player issues with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communication
flash + SSL + IE = WTF
I've been working on a project in which we were generating a flash based menu. It was all working fine until we implemented Verisign SSL on the site. When we access the site via HTTPS it runs into some issues. After a round of 'googling', I figured out that there was an issue with IE and SSL that was causing this issue. I found a workaround that I'd like to share
The following pages came to be of great help:
Microsoft Knowledge base:
Real cause and solution
Data Loading fails when using a no-cache header Pragma
Because of issues with Microsoft Internet Explorer, loading data via SSL into the Flash Player ActiveX control will not work if the server uses a no-cache header. The problem occurs if the server is using SSL and has added one or both of the following HTTP headers to the response message:
Pragma: no-cache
Cache-control: no-cache,max-age=0,must-revalidate
To solve this issue and receive data via SSL in the Flash Player simply remove the no-cache settings that are listed above from the server.

Tremendously talented designer Philip Estrada created clothes for Paget Brewster and me to wear as Frank & Sadie Doyle for the Thrilling Adventure show in New York. Fellow clotheshorses, check out his recounting of the process (and more pictures) here.
Their clothes were really nice. Paget looked beautiful.
Like I said before, I walked into the venue and saw Paul in this coat at the bar. It was amazing.
Everyone was well dressed actually: Busy Philipps, Marc Gagliardi, they all looked good.

Sirius: Nearly 4mil. Subs. (621,600,000 in biz per year, just a tad more then Sterns salary for 5 years)

You know those spring days when the calendar confirms that it is indeed spring, but the weather apparently didn't get the memo yet? Well, the key to look great in your new spring clothes without freezing is having on hand a terrific scarf in a light neutral color. It's an accessory, but one that has the practical side effect of keeping your neck warm. Jessica Alba has been seen several times in an oversized ombré Brunello Cucinelli scarf that works great for chilly spring days.
Now, it's perfectly understandable if you don't have the $530 it takes to get one just like hers. But no worries: you can get a terrific similar oversized spring scarf for under $50. AK Anne Klein makes a gorgeous ombré scarf that's available in black or chive, both great neutrals.
For casual days with old jeans, wearing this scarf is pretty much a no-brainer: toss it around your neck and go. For more formal looks, wrap it neatly and tuck the ends in so that it forms a cozy cowl neckline. Scarves like this one are one of the best fashion accessories for spring, effortlessly bridging cooler and warmer weather.

Perfect for Families!
Our family of five, with kids ages 6, 7 and 14, loved this home and this trip! Blowing Rock Retreat was even more than we expected! From the fire pit to the hot tub to the scenic multilevel decks, the home is perfect for relaxing outdoor time. And what a treat to have that amazing movie theater.... we all enjoyed the US Open and college football like we were on the courts and field with the athletes! So neat. Every room was spotless, well equipped, easy to use, beautifully decorated and comfortable. The gorgeous mountain view from the master bedroom was hard to leave on our last day. Owner Pat was responsive, helpful and spent time helping us plan our first visit to the mountains. We hope to be back to Blowing Retreat soon!
Rocky Bottom cabin is the definition for RELAXATION!!
I surprised my wife for our 5th wedding anniversary with a trip to Rocky Bottom cabin for a much needed getaway. As we drove down Redbud Lane, the pictures posted on the web of the cabin were all true!!! We parked in the back and we scoped out everything all around the cabin and then went inside! WOW!!!!! There are not enough words to describe such an exquisite place to withdraw from the fast-paced world and recharge your soul! This was our first cabin experience and it was definitely a great treat! The homemade bread was awesome and, as other reviewers stated, made excellent french toast in the morning. I had emailed Bob inquiring about this and that to see if those items would be supplied and as stated in the description of Rocky Bottom; everything is indeed supplied. One only needs to bring food, clothing, and toiletries. The biggest problem we could see with the cabin is that there was not enough time to do and enjoy everything. We only stayed two nights and we should have stayed 3 nights! LOL. If someone is looking to get off the grid for a couple of days then Rocky Bottom cabin is the place to go! Watch shooting stars on a clear night and take a refreshing dip in the pond next to it. We are already trying to find a date next year to go back! Thank you Bob and Gail for attention to detail in your decorating choices. It was AWESOME!
All we needed for a summer stay
We rented The View for four nights and five days for the summer reunion of a group of friends meeting in that North Carolina area. We were attracted to this property because we needed many beds to fit us all and because we wanted to stay near the mountains. The cabin surpassed our expectations. It is perched high in the Bostic region and gives you a great view of surrounding mountains from the side and back of the house, or from the comfortable hammock in the back. The property is kept in great condition and we found it clean and equipped to handle our group well, from having all the silverware and appliances we needed in the kitchen to strategically placed flat-screen TVs in the house's three levels. There were extra linens and towels and cleaning supplies available. The bedrooms were all spacious and the beds were comfortable. The bathrooms were clean. And, in our case, the lower floor game room became headquarters for the teens and children in our group. One worry we initially had was that it seemed to be located a long distance away from attractions and stores, but it is just close enough to small town centers and an hour away from some of the tourist attractions (this ended up being a good thing, since we wanted to be in the mountain environment rather than near the traffic and noise of tourist attractions). It was also great to just stay in the house one day and enjoy its comforts. There's no hot tub or water body near the property, but we hardly missed that. Cell phone and even GPS reception are spotty near the property, but there is wifi in the house. The view was stunning and our stay gave us the dose of mountain air that we went there looking for. The roads on the way up are curvy, but paved and in good condition. Also, we should mention that the owner and property manager (Larry) were courteous and helpful in their dealings with us. We liked it so much that we may stay there again in coming years.

When I was in Colorado, I made a trip over to Akron to shoot twins, Morgan and Megan. These two are absolutely beautiful and were so much fun to take pictures of! They were by far the most organized senior portrait session I have ever had. These girls thought about everything, from an emergency basket full of anything and everything you could need, detailed out plans of outfits, and print outs of their favorite poses. I have a feeling they had been planning this event for a while! But, that made it a lot of fun and we got some awesome shots.
Here is the gorgeous Megan!!

The Blue Knights (4-2, 3-0 ACL) came out shooting Tuesday, April 15, at Dennis-Yarmouth (1-4), dealing the Dolphins a 13-4 defeat. Sandwich jumped out to a 3-2 lead at the end of the first quarter and built that into an 8-3 lead by the break.
"We took the game from the start," coach Mike McNeill said. "We dominated the face-off in the second, third and fourth quarters."
The teams split 3-3 in face-offs in the opening 12-minute quarter.
Zach Gorrasi led the charge for the Knights with six goals and three assists. Nick Buttafuoco added another four goals and three assists, with Jameson Buttafuoco picking up four assists.
"Pat Plummer, Peter Davis, Brendan Barrett, Sam Carl and Chris Rezendes, all senior midfielders played very well for us at both ends of the field for us," coach McNeill said. "Max Wojnar and Joe Boudrow played great defense for us behind the leadership of our newest captain, Ben Maciel."
Maciel joins Nick Buttafuoco and Owen Gaffney as team captains.
"Jack Branco did a nice job up top," the coach said, "and Connor Mangelson gave us a solid effort on defense."

In partnership with the British Centre for Literary Translation, Monash University's Translation and Interpreting Studies have set up an annual Literary Translation summer/winter school. The event is aimed at students, writers, professional translators, language teachers and members of the public interested in literary translation A week-long residential program of hands-on translation practice is accompanied by public talks and panel discussions addressing a wide range of topics, as well as networking opportunities. Daily translation workshops are led by both an expert translator and the author of the text to be translated.
To date we have run two events: the inaugural Translated! held in February 2011 with French, German and Spanish language streams, and Translation/Transnation, held in July 2012 with Japanese, Italian and Chinese (Mandarin) language streams. An overview of the final day's presentations at Translation/Transnation, kindly put together by the Italian stream's participating author Laila Wadia, can be seen here. Participating authors have included Elizabeth Honey, Jorge Carrión, Shu Cai and Moetai Brotherson.
This year's exciting event, Murder and Mayhem in Translation, merges the theme of 'crime fiction' with translation. Languages are French, Italian and Spanish. Click here for more information.
