Hobart 140 vs miller 140
I don't have apples-to-apples experience with both machines, but I'll point out that both companies have the same corporate owner. However, the machines are manufactured in different plants. You'll see some Miller parts on the Hobart.
Hobarts usually have tapped voltage settings and Millers usually have infinite controls.

that you can select. It's either on number 1 (say 20v) or
number 2 (say 18v). You can't get "Number 1.5" if you want, say,
19v (btw, I'm just making up these numbers - I don't know what
the HH's numbers are). The infinitely variable control lets you
set it at any point (continuing my example, you could set the
knob half way between 1 and 2 to get 19v, or 3/4 the way to
get 19.5 or ...).
Another way to think of it is like a car radio. If you JUST had
the selector buttons, you could just pick the 4 or 5 or 6
stations that are programmed in, you could not select anything
else. But with the tuning knob, you can select any frequency on
the radio you want.
Some people say that you need infinitely variable
selection to get the exact settings you want. Others
say that the settings on their HH get them close enough
that the extra variabilty doesn't really buy much.
I have no opinion on this argument...
Enough of that...
The other big difference between Hobart and Miller is that
Miller is generally believed to be targeting their machines
to the industrial/commercial market, while Hobart's are
more aimed for lighter duty. If that's true, then the Hobart
machines are likely to have somewhat less-studly parts
here and there. I don't know that these are truths or not,
but it is a sort of prevailing opinion (or maybe those of us
who bought miller machines hope it's true 'cuz if it isn't,
we paid more for nothing
When I tool some welding courses at adult-ed a few years ago,
we had both mm140 and hh140 machines. By day, the school
taught votech highschool welding. The school kids were not, shall
we say, overly respectful in their care of the machines. The teacher
said that both machines seemed to get broken at about the
same rate; that is, he saw no significant difference in how well the
machines stood up to the kids' misuse.
I expect that you'd be happy with either one.

I personally would go with the Miller in this case if it were me buying the machine. I have used both Hobart and Miller 140's and I like the Miller better. You can fine tune your settings on the Miller better than the Hobart. My brother owns a Hobart 140 which is a good little machine, It came with a Miller gun when he bought it.
Well there is 2 ways of looking at these machines. Both machines naturally do the same thing, the Hobart is less expensive, and somewhat weaker in design.
You will have much more control, and have a much better learing curve on the Miller than trying to fiddle with the wire speed on the Hobart.
Say if you ran into some financial difficultys and had to sell off your machine, the Hobart is pretty much worth significantly less than the comparible Miller which still retains a depreciated value.
For what it's worth, I've been completely happy with my Hobart Handler 140. I don't know how they hold their value in all parts of the country, but I've seen several sell used on ebay for more than I paid for mine new. Hobart, Lincoln and Miller are all going to hold their value much better than most tools.
I recently got a Millermatic 211, so I could also run 220v. It's not the same as the 240, but it's a solid machine.
I don't think you're going to see a dramatic difference between these two entry level machines.

The 211 is great. But it's about triple the price of the Hobart 140, which makes the Hobart a great value (while the Miller is just a great welder).
It depends on what you're going to be welding. I bought the 211, but I still haven't come up with a job where I need the extra power. You've got to be pretty hard core to be making anything out of 3/8" to 1/2" steel.
My first project was a fence for my front yard. The Hobart was great in the shop, and then it was easy to take it out to the perimeter of the yard to put the sections together. The Miller 211 would have done the job just as well, but having a 220-only machine would have been useless for the outside stuff (without a very long and expensive extension cord).

Rated 4 out of 5�by mrsrodgers Looks great, runs small The jersey is a great fit once you get the right size. I had to reorder a size larger and the customer service woman informed me Nike tends to run small so I would recommend a size larger to everyone. The material is really great quality. Go Pack! October 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by Nissa43 Awesome Jersey My husband is the best, he bought this for me for Christmas. At first I was mad because he bought one size too big. But it fit fine. So purchase one size bigger than you normally wear. I can't wait to wear it on Super Bowl Sunday! December 31, 2012

Rated 3 out of 5�by Footballfan Way too small! I ordered this shirt after reading other reviews of it. It's a great looking jersey but it has a problem. Everyone said that it runs small and they weren't kidding! I usually wear a medium t-shirt so I ordered a large. I knew when I took it out of the package that it was going to be tight and it is. I can't even wear it. I would say it runs two sizes too small at least. I'm so disappointed. March 21, 2015

I just heard on the news about all the women having babies induced today just so they would be born 12/12/12. When I was pregnant, towards the end I just wanted to be over, but I'm not sure I would let a date influence my decision. Of course, a lot of people are superstitious. Whatever makes you feel better, I guess. Less time to read with a new baby, but try to squeeze in a couple of pages and here's some suggestions for you from the WW Ladies.
Fury's Kiss by Karen Chance
Read by joysann
Part of what makes dhampir Dorina Basarab so dangerous is loss of control, and the memory loss that goes with it. When her blocked memory is all that can reveal what deadly things happened on an investigative mission, Dorina allows a master vampire with telepathic abilities to explore her mind, exposing more of her past than she wants to know. Ultimately, it all relates to an impending war that involves wizard humans, supernaturals and denizens of Faery.
As complicated as that seems, we faithful Dorina fans know how exciting the involved story might get. There are several characters to know and enjoy, like Louis-Cesare and Mircea, and the crossover from Karen Chance's Cassie Palmer series makes it all the more fun. Fury's Kiss is exciting, often suspenseful, often humorous, and always captivating.
A Howl for a Highlander by Terry Spear
Read by Joan
Duncan MacNeill, a werewolf from Scotland, has been sent by his oldest brother, the laird of Argent Castle and the pack and clan leader, to Grand Cayman Island to find the thief who stole the clan/pack's investment funds. Nothing will keep Duncan from completing his task until he catches the scent of a female wolf. He feels it his duty to let her know he is in the area and offer his protection should she need it. Shelly Campbell, an American werewolf, is on the island to study plants, hoping to find a plant that would stop the shift or bring it on if a person needed to change. After arriving and having spent her own money to rent an expensive beach home, she finds that the university's money has been stolen by the same thief that stole the MacNeill's money, leaving the two working together.
This is the tenth book in Terry Spear's Heart of the Wolf series. Not having read the other books dealing with the MacNeill clan, I found that the book stands on its own. Fun, exciting and romantic, I also enjoyed that the setting was in the Caymans, somewhere you would not expect werewolves to be found, beautiful beaches and tropical breezes. Wish I were there!

Collared (A Gin & Tonic Mystery) by L.A. Kornetsky
Read by joysann
Bartender Teddy Tonica overhears Ginny Mallard take on the task of finding a missing business man, and thinks that it's probably a bigger job than she's anticipating as a professional service provider who generally runs errands for busy clients or plans parties. He offers to lend her a hand, and though neither is a PI, they find themselves following leads that get progressively shadier, and even dangerous. Ginny's shar pei, Georgie, and Teddy's occasional feline companion, Mistress Penny, have the heavy jobs of keeping track of their humans and worrying about how to protect them.
Collared is the first book in a new mystery series that pet lovers will enjoy. Written with humor, this first taste of the sluething business is bound to get Ginny and Tonica more involved in both mysteries and each other. The dialog can be clever and entertaining, and I enjoyed their interaction. I'll be watching for the next adventure by L. A Kornetsky (aka Laura Anne Gilman).

Gallery: Towering Rock Hostel Provides Habitats For Rock Climbers and B...
Hoping to strike a balance with the city's other famous landmarks such as the Sagrada Familia, Torre Agbar and the nearby Museum of Modern Art, Barcelona Rock hostel is largely inspired by nature and the mountains near the city. With a facade made from stone sourced locally just like the other famous works, the rocks, crevices, ledges and cracks provide space for greenery and natural habitats for birds. The tower will look more like a natural feature than a skyscraper and would become a new landmark for the city.
The rock slabs will be mounted on stilts of reinforced concrete and mounted with gaps between them and the rest of the building to encourage natural ventilation. Additionally, the rocks will provide thermal mass to soak up the heat during the day to keep the inside cool and release heat back to the hotel at night.
Inside the rock tower, the hostel will have 50 rooms with windows, a swimming pool, a spa, a gym, a cinema, a pub, shops and climbing walls for beginners. The exterior of the tower is designed explicitly for more advanced rock climbers, who will chance to spend the night on the wall using port-o-ledges and other specialty equipment. Using the tower for recreation will make the hostel an attraction and destination beyond just a place to spend the night. On top of the tower, climbers, guests of the hostel and visitors can enjoy the spectacular views.

"Although not a winner, we're pretty thrilled with the idea of a tower made expressly to be climbed"
Yeah, I'm sure there's absolutely NO chance that a climber could slip and fall to their death, or worse land on a pedestrian, even though parts of the building look like it's hanging over the sidewalk.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I am pretty much your average disc golfer. I am 45, 6'2", 238lbs, and I played baseball growing up on into college as a pitcher. I stayed active into my mid 30's, but my job put me at a desk and having kids stopped my athletic activities. I also tore my left ACL and have yet to have it fixed.
I picked up disc golf about 18 months ago and it just clicked with me. I have played close to 500 rounds in that time and I've lost 52 pounds. I feel great, my left knee is pain free,…Continue

Brandon Loiocono, as is customary, reached to shake hands with Springbrook coach Tom Crowell during pregame introductions. Crowell grabbed Loiocono's hand, pulled him close, smiled and said, "I'm not going to get you 20 tonight."
Loiocono scored a game-high 20 points in Sherwood's 4A North championship-game win over Springbrook last year. And though Springbrook held Loiocono to 15 points Tuesday, that was again a game high as he led Sherwood to a 51-42 victory in Sandy Spring.
"He's a very good player," Crowell said. "I like him a lot. I'd love to have him."
Sherwood has now won three straight over Springbrook, its longest win streak in the series since at least 2005. Though both teams have 7-4 records, they're trending in opposite directions. Sherwood has won three straight, and Springbrook has lost three straight. Sherwood is 4-0 in the Montgomery 4A East, and Springbrook is 0-4 in the division.
"A lot of teams underestimated us, which is fine, because they do it every year," Sherwood coach Dondrell Whitmore said. "I think now the guys are starting to see that and starting to step up."
Another surprise: As well as Loiocono played Tuesday, the decisive stretch came with him on the bench. Sherwood opened the fourth quarter on a 15-0 run to break open what had been a tied game.
"I had to give him a little rest, because I had seen he used a lot of energy in the first few quarters," Whitmore said.
When Sherwood's other players moved the ball well on offense and locked in on defense, Whitmore stuck with them.
"I'm as happy as can be," Loiocono said of his mind set while on the bench. "To see our team clicking like that makes me feel great."
Springbrook focused on taking away Loiocono's 3-point shot — he didn't make one all game — but he converted several backdoor cuts and putbacks to score anyway. Time and time again, he made the big and small plays necessary to win.
"He wanted it more than Springbrook," Whitmore said. "…He's hungry for a win. He knew it was a very important game for us."
Throughout the game, Springbrook worked to get many good shots, but just missed them. Crowell said that's been a problem lately, one that has reached a level he's never seen before, and he's not sure whether it's a correctable issue or just a run of bad luck.
"I think I'm in the Twilight Zone," Crowell said. "I mean, I really do. It's crazy. I don't know. I love my team. They're playing hard. They're playing good defense. We're struggling to score right now. That's the bottom line."
To Whitmore, on the other hand, the game was completely explainable.
"Our guys wanted it more tonight," he said.

Do you support an "assault weapons ban"? What constitutes an assault weapon to you. An AR-15? A Glock 17? Do you know the functional difference between a semiautomatic rifle and a semi automatic pistol? What is your reason for wanting to ban one or both of these weapons?
I see a lot of rhetoric. I have seen intelligent debate in this forum, so i know it can happen. Let's see it happen now.

HP Vertica Analytics Platform: No Limits, No Compromises Conceived by legendary database guru Michael Stonebraker, the HP Vertica Analytics Platform was purpose built from the first line of code for Big Data Analytics. Why? Because it was clear that data warehouses and "business-as-usual" practices were limiting technologies, causing businesses to make painful compromises.
The HP Vertica Analytics Platform was consciously designed with speed, scalability, simplicity, and openness at its core and architected to handle analytical workloads via a distributed compressed columnar architecture. HP Vertica provides blazing-fast speed (queries run 50-1,000x faster), petabyte-scale (store 10-30x more data per server), and openness and simplicity (use any BI/ETL tools, Hadoop, etc.) — all at 30% of the cost of traditional data warehouse solutions.

With Cloud Computing, the game changes - you can easily deploy your application in any or all of the ten AWS regions around the world. This means you can provide a lower latency and better experience for your customers at minimal cost.

It seems like when I have certain web pages focused, my screensaver will kick in, but the screen won't turn itself off. Does anyone have any ideas why this might be? Is there a way to disable whatever is keeping DPMS from kicking in?

Interpretive Handbook
8670 :
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone from the hypothalamus controls the secretion of the gonadotropins, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) from the anterior pituitary.
The menstrual cycle is divided by a midcycle surge of both FSH and LH into a follicular phase and a luteal phase.
FSH appears to control gametogenesis in both males and females.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
An adjunct in the evaluation of menstrual irregularities
Evaluating patients with suspected hypogonadism
Predicting ovulation
Evaluating infertility
Diagnosing pituitary disorders
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
In both males and females, primary hypogonadism results in an elevation of basal follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels.
FSH and LH are generally elevated in:
-Primary gonadal failure
-Complete testicular feminization syndrome
-Precocious puberty (either idiopathic or secondary to a central nervous system lesion)
-Menopause (postmenopausal FSH levels are generally >40 IU/L)
-Primary ovarian hypofunction in females
-Primary hypogonadism in males
Normal or decreased FSH in:
-Polycystic ovary disease in females
FSH and LH are both decreased in failure of the pituitary or hypothalamus.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
No clinically significant cross-reactivity has been demonstrated with thyroid-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin, prolactin, or growth hormone.
Some patients who have been exposed to animal antigens, either in the environment or as part of treatment or imaging procedures, may have circulating antianimal antibodies present. These antibodies may interfere with the assay reagents to produce unreliable results.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Seen through the prism of a presidential-election campaign, the world appears in broad strokes and primary colors, its contours lacking complexity or nuance. In that viewfinder, there is black and white, friend and foe, and the president of the United States has the power to realign the international landscape to his liking. The campaign prism, it turns out, is not only an imperfect lens for actually navigating the shoals of geopolitics but also a poor predictor of the path a president will ultimately travel.
Consider how the unexpected Arab Spring revolutions of 2011 have largely overtaken Barack Obama's carefully crafted outreach to the Muslim world. Or that as a candidate, George W. Bush promised a "humble" foreign policy and criticized nation-building by U.S. military forces, then as president unilaterally toppled regimes in Afghanistan and Iraq after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and launched the two largest nation-building operations of modern times. Bill Clinton, after arguing that it's "the economy, stupid" and pulling bloodied U.S. forces out of Somalia in 1994, was later drawn into the conflict in the Balkans. Ronald Reagan entered the Oval Office rejecting détente with the Soviet Union's "evil empire" and ended up proposing a world without nuclear weapons to Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev in 1986. Antiwar candidate Jimmy Carter was undone by a botched military operation in the sands of Iran in 1979. Strident anticommunist Richard Nixon embarked on a landmark journey to China in 1972 to shake hands with Chairman Mao.
The picture that emerges from a campaign prism reveals more about a candidate's instincts and worldview than about the actual world writ large, and that is probably the point. On Inauguration Day, no president can fathom what dynamic and swirling events will shape the four years to come. Few crises are beyond the interests of the "indispensable nation" that others still look to for leadership in collectively countering global threats, whether from terrorism, nuclear proliferation, climate change, economic contagion, or a host of other scourges. At best, a rigorous campaign suggests the lodestar that a president will follow in charting an inherently unpredictable course.
Before entering the Oval Office, Obama had developed an ambitious foreign-policy vision for difficult times: He would refurbish America's tattered image abroad, wind down two wars, reset relations with Russia as a step toward ridding the world of nuclear weapons, engage with adversaries and potential adversaries such as China and Iran, and make peace in the Middle East.
But first, he had to contain the worst economic meltdown since the Great Depression.
"By his own account, the 44th president of the United States sought nothing less than to bend history's arc in the direction of justice and a more peaceful, stable global order," write Brookings Institution scholars Martin Indyk, Kenneth Lieberthal, and Michael O'Hanlon in Bending History: Barack Obama's Foreign Policy. "The image of a new global architecture and a transformed world was crucial to his ultimate success as a candidate. Just how well it would set him up to assume the reins of power once elected was, however, a different matter."
The Obama administration's blueprint for that transformation was the 2010 national-security strategy, which looked toward a time when the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were no longer dragging down the economy and casting a militaristic shadow over U.S. foreign policy. The strategy describes an era of increased globalization and a more transnational world in which all countries are interconnected, with a greater dispersal of power and increasingly collective responses to global problems.
Guided by that vision, the administration sought to reclaim the moral high ground by banning what it considered excessive counterterrorism practices; reforming venerable international institutions, such as the United Nations and the Group of Eight major economies to meet fast evolving challenges; and continuing to underwrite global security through engagement with allies and adversaries alike. The guiding vision was a revitalized international architecture that would reflect such values as democracy and free markets, and would benefit nations that play by the established rules. Outlier governments that rejected the compact, including Iran and North Korea, would face sanctions and isolation from the global commons.
"Russia is ... our No. 1 geopolitical foe. They fight every cause for the world's worst actors." —Mitt Romney
In implementing that strategy with specific policies, Obama achieved signature successes and suffered significant setbacks. The administration banned Bush-era "enhanced-interrogation" techniques that many observers equate to torture, but bipartisan majorities in Congress blocked the White House from realizing its goal of closing the military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. Obama also looked beyond the traditional and exclusive G-8 club of the world's larger economies to address the financial crisis, turning more frequently to a nascent G-20 coalition that included fast-growing economies in Brazil, China, India,
and elsewhere.

Freedom Flix
Half-baked: Gov't Restricts Homemade Cookie Sales
Can the government arbitrarily restrict where home-baking entrepreneurs can sell their treats or how much they can sell? According to a new lawsuit from the Institute for Justice and two Minnesota home bakers and filed in Minnesota Second Judicial District, the answer is no.
Minnesota bans home bakers from selling home baked foods like cakes, cookies and breads—foods the state has deemed safe—anywhere other than a farmers' market or community event. Worse, the state prohibits home bakers from making more than $5,000 annually—an average of only $96 per week. Violating these restrictions can lead to fines of up to $7,500 or up to 90 days in jail.

Olympia Airglide 3 mens over pants reviewby Bart - verified purchaser
I received these pants and had to send them back as they were too small to go over my pants. I would suggest at least 1 size up. As for the pants, they are great, the full length zipper up the legs are the best. They are so easy to get on and off over my boots, they show up great at night, they are well made. I haven't used the liner yet even though I have ridden in the low 20's. I can't say if they are rain proof, because I haven't been in the rain yet. They cost more, but they are well worth it for the ease of getting them on/off over my boots. I highly recommend these pants

Seventeen unitholders stand together to stop the sale of Cedar Fair.
A lawsuit consolidating 11 complaints reiterates the unitholders' concerns the sale price of $11.50 per unit undervalues the company's worth and unfairly deprives them of the profits they seek.
The new lawsuit argues the process and discussions that led up to the Dec. 16 sale agreement to Apollo Global Management was flawed. It also claims the preliminary proxy statement contains flawed or incomplete information, which could influence how unitholders vote on the sale.
The sale must be approved by voters representing two-thirds of the outstanding units.
"As a result of the unlawful actions of defendants Cedar Fair and Apollo, Plaintiffs and the other members of the Class will be irreparably harmed in that they will not receive fair value for Cedar Fair's assets and business," the plaintiffs argue.
The deal has been valued at $2.4 billion, including $1.6 billion in debt.
Lawyers for Cedar Fair and Apollo Global Management have until Feb. 9 to respond to the new lawsuit and intend to ask for the case to be dismissed.

Bolboreta, mariposa, papallona
Director Pablo García's Spanish-language picture Butterfly (AKA Bolborosa, mariposa, papallona, 2006) teeters gently between fictional narrative and documentary. At the film's core lies the axiom that the butterfly's beauty is best observed from afar - if one tries to capture it with the hands, they say, its appearance will fate, its luster forever spoiled. This observation constitutes a metaphor for filmmaking; García, it seems (who appears onscreen) recently attempted to shoot a feature, but - per the butterfly experience - failed to capture the intrinsic magical aura and nuances of his setting, deeming such a task almost impossible. Increasingly desperate, the filmmaker recruits a group of indigenous children who are more familiar with the surroundings, and thus able to help García preserve the unique aesthetic on film. Through these events, Butterfly meditates on how a film camera can be used to preserve the visual essence of a unique time and place, and how a knowledge of a particular environment can facilitate this undertaking.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Scranton TV station snubs 'Dunder Mifflin' ad
Quill.com produces a line of paper products inspired by the fictional company at the center of "The Office," the long-running NBC comedy set in Scranton.
Quill had planned to run an ad on WNEP-TV, the ABC affiliate, during this Sunday's Academy Awards telecast. But WNEP declined to air the spot.
Paul Bessinger works for Lincolnshire, Ill.-based Quill, a division of Staples. He told The Times-Tribune of Scrantonthe spot was apparently declined because "The Office" airs on a rival network.
Michael Last at WNEP declined to comment.
The ad will air instead on another ABC affiliate, in Utica, N.Y. Like Scranton, Utica is home to a Dunder Mifflin branch on "The Office."

I began to list a dozen novels that everyone should read before age 50, but quickly realized that if all you want is a dozen, you should ask an economist, not a novelist.
Still, stories are what help us best understand why we are how we are. So after consulting people I admire and my own mental file, I included only novels that I believe you really ought to read. Here are the novels picked, starting with the 21st place selection …
Those who think of this small book about a gallant spider's fight to save the life of a runt pig as a children's story are letting children have all the fun.
Often described as the chronicle of the Jazz Age, this is really a story about the haves and how they think of the have-nots because they are helpless to think of them any other way. You might call it a 1920s tale of the 1 percent.
The story of two couples growing "up" together is as true a story about loyalty and its limits as any I've ever read.
Random House
Another Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the Civil War? Yes! This is the story of the longest days of our nation's life, three hot sunsets in Gettysburg, and why even the beautiful and brave can be wrong, and the glum, stubborn and foolish as right as dawn.
Ballantine Books
Having read this book before the amazing characterization of Hannibal Lecter by Anthony Hopkins, I was the only person on earth who thought that this predecessor to The Silence of the Lambs was even more gruesome and terrifying.
Dell Publishing
My mother said that this novel of pre-revolution Russia and the foolish and beautiful Anna was a story that "took all the fun out of adultery." So true.
Penguin Classics
Often cited as sporting the best first paragraph in all prose, this story is still as paralyzingly scary as it was the day it was written.
Penguin Group
Speaking of great short-story stylists, this is my living favorite. While I don't run to buy every new Stephen King novel, I would fight anyone who thinks that Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and The Body don't compare favorably to just about anything.
Penguin Group
The lowercase name is the correct, if affected, author's choice of title for the first big published book of Ernest Hemingway's heartbreaking stories. When you read this, you see just why his style was so imitated, and why it never could be copied. Ever.
Even people who have read and loved The French Lieutenant's Woman may not know about this crazy part-romance, part-horror, part-Gothic book, in which no one and nothing is what it seems.
It's the story of one woman's doomed love and one civilization's doomed quest, and it's just a helluva story, period.
Nathaniel Hawthorne hated the Misses Brontë because they could do what he could not — write books that sing with authenticity and genuine suspense. They still do so nearly 200 years later.
Penguin Group
Sixty-five million readers worldwide adore the story of the Andalusian shepherd boy, Santiago, who goes searching for a treasure. I'm not going to disagree with them.
This wonderful sequel to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy asks a poignant question: Facing the end of life as we know it, is it too much to ask to find a good cup of tea and some biscuits?
Harmony Books
"Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again." You will love this story of psychological obsession and immortality by one of the most underrated writers of the 20th century.
William Morrow Paperbacks
Two strangely literate Texas rangers who decide to become cattle ranchers out-Sundance Butch and the Kid in the book that made me decide to write a novel.
Simon & Schuster
This supposed debut of the hard-boiled detective novel makes the list because of the way Hammett colored his characters with dialogue. "I distrust a closemouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. Talking's something you can't do judiciously unless you keep in practice." The guy could write.
Simon & Schuster
If you haven't read this novel of the Confederate prison camp in Georgia and the prisoners who fought to survive there, I envy you. You have a treat in store for yourself.
Lest you think that all my top faves are coming-of-age novels set among children challenged by painful realities — like Francie Nolan in this novel of immigrant poverty in prewar New York — oh well. Deal with it.
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
I was once listing my favorite novels with the then-book editor for Newsweek, and I mentioned the then-obscure-except-for-the-John-Wayne-movie story of Mattie Ross and her quest for justice with the rascally sheriff Rooster Cogburn. The editor said, "Well, we're talking favorites. Now, you're talking genius."

The Outcasts are a garage rock and psychedelic rock band from San Antonio, Texas that released a total of five singles between 1965 and 1967. They are justly famous for two classic songs, "I''m in Pittsburgh (And it''s Raining)" and "1523 Blair", although their recordings have been reissued on literally dozens of compilation albums of this type of music. According to the Ugly Things compilation album listing, they are the best known of at least 10 bands of this name that were active in the mid-1960s, followed by the band from Manhasset NY (see below for other bands of that name).
