I'm presenting this Saturday at the conference in Provo. I've kicked some of these ideas around for a while, but only started work on them in earnest recently. I'm addressing conceptions of faith and knowledge in Alma 32 through close reading. For me, that process entails creating a bibliography to see what's been done, and working through the chapter closely and slowly, looking for patters and connections, textual issues, and logical flow.

Reading Nephi – 1:18-20
Two contrasts strike me in verse 18: a contrast between the way that Nephi uses the word 'marvelous' and a contrast between the visions and prophesying he attributes to Lehi here, and what we just got in verse 14. To begin with a word on the latter, I'm heartened that Lehi's prophesying included beautiful, affirming, psalms; I trust his public messages did too, even if Nephi didn't note this fact. I never hear the word 'marvelous' used to neutrally reference a marvel. It's always used as a synonym to 'wonderful.' Marvels and wonders only receive a positive valence today;... Read more »

Reading the Book of Mormon for the First Time Again
I read the Book of Mormon all the way through several times as a teenager. Between multiple readings and a knack for remembering anything that comes in the form of a story, by the time I was 19 I knew the Book of Mormon as well as any other 19 year old I met. Now I'm 34, and I routinely meet people whose familiarity with the text far, far outstrips my own. Sure, some of that comes from the fact that I know more Mormon studies folks now than I did as a teenager, but I'm not talking about... Read more »

Statements on Heavenly Mother
I appreciated the loving tribute Elder Holland just gave to all mothers, and in particular to our Heavenly Mother. In the wake of that talk, I'm reposting some of the quotes on Heavenly Mother collected in Paulsen's & Pulido's BYU Studies article, "A Mother There." It's a valuable resource to actually have before us a sampling of what church authorities have said over the years, and is one way to express the love and gratitude in my own heart. And now the quotes: "All human beings—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of... Read more »
Saul Callings
Saturday Morning conference referenced how Samuel was unsure that Saul was the right man to lead Israel. With the benefits of hindsight, one indeed wonders about the choice. Saul, in the end, had some serious problems as King. Does God call people knowing that they will, to a significant degree, fail? Yes, I think he does. I think he does it all the time. Yet sometimes I think people see someone called to a calling and, if it does not work out well, they question if the calling was inspired. Now, I don't think that all callings are perfect. But...

Reading Nephi – 1:7-17
Joseph Smith remarked on visions that they are something that overcomes the visionary—that is, they're physically exhausting. After the famous vision he shared with Sidney Rigdon (D&C 76), Sidney was apparently quite overcome, and Joseph quipped, "He's not as used to this as I am" (or something to that effect, a la Truman Madsen). Thus it appears to have been the case with Lehi—overcome after his experience in the presence of God (a pillar of fire being a typological Old Testament symbol for the presence of God), he casts himself upon his bed. But God wasn't yet done with... Read more »

Reading Nephi – 1:1-6
'I, Nephi' begins his record in a remarkable manner, and I'm tempted to write long-windedly exploring the labyrinth of the first verse. I'm grateful that he acknowledges goodly parents and not just a goodly father. Some have certainly had only goodly fathers and not goodly mothers (Disney loves this scenario), but as written, I see a reflection of my own life in the first line of the Book of Mormon—of all of our lives. We have goodly Parents — Heavenly Parents. And, accordingly as Nephi notes, we have been taught somewhat in all of their learning, and are continuing... Read more »

The KJV and the Thereofs Thereof
The KJV is archaic and foreign today, but did you know it was already archaic and outdated when it was published in 1611? The translation team was instructed to follow earlier translations like The Bishop's Bible (1568) and only change where they thought necessary. But the Bishop's Bible was itself a revision of yet earlier translations, all the way back to Tyndale (1525)! This means the translators were not starting from scratch, but essentially critiquing and updating earlier work. The English used was not the current vernacular language of the people when it was published. There is lots of "barbed... Read more »

Thoughts on a Modern English Translation of the Scriptures
The Church recently announced that is going to be publishing an LDS "translation" of the Bible in Portuguese. I put "translation" in scare quotes because this is not a new Portuguese version of the Bible translated from the original Greek and Hebrew. Rather, it takes a previous Portuguese translation now in the public domain and updates its archaic language for modern Portuguese readers, adding LDS study aids. This is not the first time that the Church has issued new versions of the scriptures to make their language more digestible for members. For example, the original translation of the Book...

Do Mormons Have a Duty to Vote?
You might think that this is a strange question, and that of course everyone has a duty to vote. That's part of being a good citizen, isn't it? Well, there's a growing body of opinion that says this isn't so. It all starts widespread agreement that voting doesn't make a lot of sense from the perspective of an individual voter. Your chance of swaying a national election—of being the decisive vote—is for all practical purposes zero. So there's no benefit to voting. But there are costs. There's the gas you pay for the drive to the polling place and... Read more »

With nearly $800M in Cash, SGI (Market Cap $2.5 Billion) could look like a good target for a PC company that look to expand in the server end or for high speed computing need.Dell (Market Cap 48 Billion) has the enterprise sales force and relationship that SGI needs to compete with SUN/HP/IBM but lacks the parallel computing expertise and high end server offering. Internationally, SGI can provide good fit in brand name recognition and marketing advantage. (I know that China would love to buy SGI boxes if the US government allows export of power challenge or Crays.) Looks to me like a good takeover target.
That would sure give SGI a big boost; to be purchased by Dell!There is a high tech company!
SGI-Dell - a coupling that makes sense, for the reasons you mention.
dominated by idiots!
very well could happen,it would be a good move for DELL.k2b1
who thinks Dell and SGI are compatible, knows very little about either!

Ariel's Closet helps girls find prom gowns
At Pacifica High, no girl will miss the big event because she has no dress
At Pacifica High School, no girl will miss her prom because she or her family can't afford to buy her a prom gown.
Thanks to Ariel's Closet on campus, students short on funds had a week to rummage through racks filled with close to 200 formal and semiformal gowns donated by the Oxnard school's faculty, staff, alumni and community members once word got out about the project on the radio.
"We have a lot of sparkly gowns, a lot of plain ones," said Cuba Montero, a counselor on campus who organized Ariel's Closet with English teacher Janet Akune. "We have long ones; we have short ones. We have all sizes, and some of our dresses even have tags still on them. It's amazing. A lot of these dresses have never been worn before."
The best part is that all gowns — whether they originally cost $50 or $500 — were free.
"It doesn't matter who you are. We say: 'Try it on; if it's a match, it's yours. Take it home,'" Montero said.
Students can return their gowns after the May 2 prom if they like, Montero said, but it's not required. And all gowns not chosen, she added, will be donated to area nonprofits.
Ariel's Closet is named in honor of the youngest daughter of the mythological Greek sea king Triton — Pacifica High's mascot — popularized in Disney's animated movie "The Little Mermaid."
Montero and Akune came up with the idea from Pacifica High work experience teacher Brenda Christiansen, who ran a similar project on a smaller scale when she was a teacher at Hueneme High a decade earlier.
"You hear from teachers that so-and-so's family is going through really tough economic times, and that she can't go to the prom," Akune said. "It's more common than you think, especially now when a lot of families are feeling the financial pinch."
Ariel's Closet is in its third year. It was basically an "in-house" project the first two years with about 50 gowns donated. But radio disc jockeys Nancy Rodriguez and Maria Chavez spread the word about it on their Q104.7 show, and local businesses lent their support. Four Season Cleaners cleaned all 200 gowns at no cost, while The Nail Co. offered free pedicures and Mission Tuxedo a free tuxedo to winners of Ariel Closet raffles.
Seniors Daysi Palencia and Mayra Herrera were among the first Pacifica High students to visit Ariel's Closet, located in the F Building's second-floor teachers' workroom. Both left with blue gowns that received enthusiastic "thumbs up" from their friends.
"It's nice. I really like it," the soft-spoken Daysi said, smiling. "It's awesome."

Great recipe...almost as good as my recipe for Pork Sugo at No Recipe Required. Ha ha. This definitely gets better the long you cook it, and I like using a mix of different meats. I think you can substitute just about anything...which is why I love these types of dishes.flag if inappropriate
I only used beef in this recipe (organic ground beef from Costco) and beef bacon. I also added two stalks of celery and an extra carrot and used half and half instead of cream. It took about an hour and a half to reduce to the consistency I liked. Oh, and I added a big spoon of tomato paste and a bay leaf towards the end. Delicious. There is more than enough for one pound of pasta; we're already on a second package of pasta. Is a big hit!flag if inappropriate
overall i think this was a pretty good recipe that i would make again however i made few changes. First instead of the cream i used whole milk to make it a little healthier. I also did not use an entire can of tomatoes, i think one 24 oz can is waaay too much, and makes it too soupey. i also did not have wine so instead i used one cup of chicken broth mixed with a bit of red wine vinegar. Finaly i let it simmer with a bay leaf. It all turned out really good and was a big hit!flag if inappropriate
my son is allergic to dairy so I substituted chilled coconut milk (from a can) for the cream and it came out delicious! Didn't have the veal and pork this time, just used bacon and ground beef, looking forward to trying it with the different meats next timeflag if inappropriate
Though others said do not double the recipe...I did. They were right - it makes a lot and I would imagine the recipe has more melded flavors Helpful hints: I added extra cream, and wine, several shakes of nutmeg, a splash of balsamic vinegar. After simmering for 1.5 hours the recipe started to take hold and have depth. I will try it again - but not doubling the recipe.flag if inappropriate
Very good recipe. I used a combo of ground beef and ground chicken and used both pancetta & bacon. Followed the rest of the recipe except I used 1/2 & 1/2 instead of heavy cream. It was delicious and easy to make. It's a keeper.flag if inappropriate
Don't double the recipe. Didn't love this but think it was my fault. My husband bought way to much meat so we decided to double the recipe. If I made again I would double the meat but not the tomatoes and milk/cream because it was too thin and the flavor became somewhat diluted. Definately better bolognese recipes out there but this is decent when you don't have 3 hours.flag if inappropriate
Yummy. The whole family loved it, including our 3-yr old. I will definitely find an excuse to serve this up to friends for a leisurely dinner get-together in the near future. Good bang for the buck, esp considering how quickly it came together. I only used beef and bacon (no veal/pork). Plus I added ground garlic, a rib of finely chopped celery, and a mixture of black pepper and red chili flakes.flag if inappropriate
i have now made this receipe 2 times and it make a large quantity of sauce that freezes wonderfully!! and is just as good defrosted!! I did trade the veal for turkey and it was just as good the second time (ground turkey cost less)and use a wine you would actually drink. cooking wine isn't as good in a cream sauce to me. the 1 lb of pasta is only enough for a family of 4 for one dinner and you will have extra sauce to freezeflag if inappropriate
I made this for a quick dinner on a busy night and it was just great! In an hour of total prep and cooking, I had fettuccine bolognese as good as the ones that took me all day to make. I did sub light cream for the heavy and a "meatloaf" mixture for the 3 separate meats - it was more cost effective to by it premixed together. Will definitely make it again, and again.flag if inappropriate

Brazil's Straw Hat project helps women leave abusive situations
A look at Switzerland's entrenched gun culture
20 Jun 2011 18:02 GMT | Business & Economy, Singapore
Good.food, learnto.salsa, glossy.lipstick, apple, orange, toyota -- people and companies will be able to set up a website with almost any address by the end of next year if they have a legitimate claim to the domain name and can pay a hefty fee.
In what is being described as a game-changing development in the cyberworld, the global body that oversees the internet has approved the creation of website addresses ending in corporate names.
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) voted overwhelmingly in favour of the proposal at a meeting in Singapore on Monday, despite fears the shift would cause some confusion and favour large companies.
"It's really going to be a challenge to the .coms of this world which have really had monopoly on domain names to this point," James Trengrove, a spokesperson for ICANN, told Al Jazeera.
"This is the biggest change to domain names since the creation of dotcom 26 years ago," Theo Hnarakis, chief executive of Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services, a California-based company that provides online branding advice, said.
Under the changes, businesses will no longer be restricted to a handful of generic top level domains (gTLDs) that include .com, .net and .org when they apply to register a website address.
The new naming system will allow for more personalised, branded domains, opening the way for corporations, institutions and governments to create and control their own domain names.
Apple, for instance, could swap apple.com for .apple, while cities like London could use .london to expand their online presence.
Al Gore, the former presidential candidate, has already expressed interest in the .eco domain, Al Jazeera learned, which he could use to promote his work as an environmental activist.
Significantly, domain names will not be restricted to the Latin alphabet. Domain names can be created in Arabic, Chinese and Cyrillic.
ICANN is a non-profit body that manages the Domain Name System and Internet Protocol addresses that form the technical backbone of the web.
At a meeting this week in Singapore, the board voted 13-1 in favour of the change, which was first proposed in 2005, with two members abstaining.
George Sadowsky, the lone board member who voted against the move, said "I believe that it is not ICANN's job to influence the choice of winners and losers in such competitions, and that is implicitly what we will be doing."
The process has taken six years of negotiations, and not everyone is happy at the decision to transform domain conventions.
Trengrove said that the delay had been for political, as well as technical, reasons.
While some companies expressed excitement over the possibilities, others have longstanding reservations about the implications for their copyrights.
"There's been a lot of concern from governments and companies about trademark protection," he explained.
For these reasons, the application process will be based on an evaluation process that gives deference to communities, where applicable. Brand protection will be taken into account, and a $185,000 fee per application means any attempt to purchase a domain will have to be based on a solid foundation.
"Who's going to get .paris? Paris, France, or Paris, Texas?" he said.
Applications for the new web suffixes will open on January 12 next year and close 90 days later.
Before the competition is open, ICANN will launch a global awareness campaign to give all parties time to prepare for the selection process.

Michael Vick still has not passed the ImPACT and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. This would be the third consecutive game Vick misses.
In the past few weeks, the term "ImPACT test" has come up often -- mostly because Vick has yet to pass it. But to understand the context, team trainer Rick Burkholder explained the specifics of the computerized test that requires a player to reach a baseline.
That baseline is established in the summer, when the player takes the test will full cognitive function. The test is 25-30 minutes. In order to pass after a concussion, a player must reach the level they're at during the summer.
Vick has apparently passed most the other stages of concussion recovery, but the ImPACT test remains an issue. Burkholder said it's not abnormal for the ImPACT test to be a hurdle for players.

Intuitive Analog Circuit Design
- Marc Thompson, Thompson Consulting, Inc. MA, USA. Worcester Polytechnic Institute, MA, USA.
In this book, Dr. Thompson describes intuitive and "back-of-the-envelope" techniques for designing and analyzing analog circuits, including transistor amplifiers (CMOS, JFET, and bipolar), transistor switching, noise in analog circuits, thermal circuit design, magnetic circuit design, and control systems. The application of some simple rules of thumb and design techniques is the first step in developing an intuitive understanding of the behavior of complex electrical systems.
Introducing analog circuit design with a minimum of mathematics, this book uses numerous real-world examples to help you make the transition to analog design. The second edition is an ideal introductory text for anyone new to the area of analog circuit design.

Terror trial proceedings troubling
Ottawa's abrupt decision to cancel a preliminary inquiry into Canada's most spectacular post-9/11 terror allegations and instead move directly to trial raises new and troubling questions.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Ottawa's abrupt decision to cancel a preliminary inquiry into Canada's most spectacular post-9/11 terror allegations and instead move directly to trial raises new and troubling questions.
Everything about the case of the so-called Toronto 18 is shrouded in mystery. Evidence raised in court, either at bail hearings or the preliminary hearing, is covered by a publication ban. But this hasn't prevented the public from knowing allegations against 14 adults and four juveniles that are so bizarre as to be almost unbelievable.
The Crown claims that at one point the alleged Islamic terrorists were plotting to cut off Prime Minister Stephen Harper's head – but changed their minds because they weren't sure where Parliament Hill was. It also claims some of the 18 attended a Keystone Kops-style military training camp at Washago north of Toronto where, it seems, they spent most of their time complaining about the cold.
Shortly after charges were levelled, the Star reported the government case rested on two informants. One, whose name cannot be published, is said to have been paid $4 million by the government. He was apparently a central figure in an alleged plot to make a fertilizer bomb. A second informant, Mubin Shaikh, decided to go public. Now you can't shut him up. He's been interviewed by the Star, the National Post, the Los Angeles Times, the CBC and most recently the BBC.
A former army cadet, Shaikh says he is the man who ran the alleged Washago terror training camp. In spite of the publication ban, he's been happy to tell the world everything he knows and much that he doesn't – including his opinion of one of the alleged ringleaders ("an effing time bomb").
In one interview, Shaikh claimed the alleged plotters planned to start a Chechen-style Muslim resistance movement in Northern Ontario, a region of the country with few Muslims and even fewer Chechens.
In April, in a completely unrelated case, Toronto police charged Shaikh with assault and threatening bodily harm after he allegedly attacked two 12-year-old girls.
He was in the middle of testifying in the terror case when the Crown shut down the preliminary hearing into the case of the 14 adults and announced it wanted to move directly to trial. (Charges have already been stayed against three of the four juveniles, which means that they are effectively off the hook).
Defence lawyers for the alleged terrorists are ticked. It's hard to blame them. The whole reason for a preliminary hearing is to determine whether there is enough evidence to warrant trial and, more important, to give the defence a chance to hear the Crown's case.
Defence lawyers say they made concessions in return for the right to cross-examine witnesses like Shaikh. Now they won't have a chance to test his widely publicized allegations until the trial.
By itself, a decision to avoid preliminary hearings and move directly to trial is not unusual. The government has done so in other high-profile criminal cases.
But usually, the Crown makes up its mind at the beginning; it does not normally change gears halfway through.
Which leaves us to ask: Was something about to be revealed in court that the government didn't want anyone to hear?
Was the Crown getting nervous about its informants?
Is there some other reason?
If I'd attended the preliminary hearing, I might know the answers to these questions. But then I wouldn't be able to report them.
So you'll have to wait for the next leak – or the next overseas media interview with one of the government's star witnesses. Perhaps CNN will call up Mubin Shaikh.

Estate planning is the process of transferring wealth to subsequent generations. Techniques involve planning for transfers at death and during life. One such mechanism is the gift, or right to transfer assets to another person while the donor is still alive, with the goal of reducing one's taxable estate. In certain instances when all available exemptions, exclusions and thresholds have been met, these transfers are subject to a gift tax.
Gift Primer
A gift occurs when a voluntary transfer for less than full consideration or compensation occurs from a donor to a donee. A valid gift must satisfy the following criteria, to wit:
The donor intends to make the voluntary transfer.
He or she is competent to do so.
The donee is able to receive the gift and has to take delivery.
The donor cedes all control over the property given.
Types of gifts include:
Direct: the donor transfers cash or property directly to the donee.
Indirect: the donor makes a transfer for the donee's benefit. Troy pays his girlfriend's credit card balance, as an example.
Complete: in making a transfer to the donee, the donor gives up all right and dominion over the property.
Incomplete: in making a transfer to the donee, the donor fails to give up all control over the property. If Helmut places money into a revocable trust, then he has made an incomplete gift as he retains the right to control the ultimate disposition of what is in the trust. By contrast, should the trust become irrevocable, then its contents constitute a completed gift.
Reversionary Interest: gifts that the donor transfers to the donee which revert back to the donor. Their worth to the donee is their present value rather than fair market value. An example would be when a donor places money in a trust for a specific time period for the donee's benefit. At the end of the term, the money or property reverts back to the donor. The value of the gift is less than the value of the property in this instance.
Net Gift: whereas in most instances the donor is responsible for any gift tax, in the case of a net gift, the donee would be.
Gift Valuation
For gift tax purposes, the value of the gift is its fair market value on the date of its transfer to the donee. Real estate and collectibles would require an appraisal. A bond would be valued as the present value of its future payments. The value of publicly traded shares would be the average of the high and low share price for the day on which they are gifted. An opinion of a qualified valuation specialist would be required for privately held shares (e.g., private equity), taking into consideration potential restrictions on marketability, control and liquidity. For certain property types, the United States Treasury has issued guidelines. Gifting appreciated assets would make more sense to the donor as he or she would remove a larger sum from his or her estate. One needs to consider the totality of one's tax planning needs and consult a professional.
When Does the Gift Tax Apply?
Once one has determined a transfer to be a gift, the next step is to determine at what point the gift tax will apply to that transfer.
Types of Exemptive Relief
The Annual Exclusion
Gifts up to a certain value per donee per year are subject to an annual exclusion. For 2012, the amount is $13,000. Spouses may split gifts. This means that each may give the $13,000 amount or $26,000. For it to be available, the gift must be of a present, rather than future interest. This means that the recipient is not subject to any restrictions on the right to use the property immediately. Gifts of a future interest, which allow the recipient unfettered access only at a later date, are not eligible for the annual exclusion and are fully taxable. Exceptions would be UTMA/UGMA accounts where money is held in trust for minors who are the beneficial owners of the account and the trustee who is the nominal owner may distribute proceeds for the minor's benefit; a Crummey provision giving a trustee powers of appointment to withdraw money at a future date and gifts to minors in trust ((2503(b) or 2503(c)).
The Applicable Unified Credit Amount
There is a lifetime of unified gift and estate tax credit amounts which may be used to shelter up to $5.12 million in taxable transfers from the gift tax in 2012. This is the gift tax exemption.
Transfers not Subject to Gift Tax
Certain types of gifts are exempt from gift tax.
Qualified Transfers: Payments made directly to a qualified academic institution or medical care provider on behalf of the donee escape any gift tax.
Payments for Support: Legal obligations for children or other dependents may be exempt from gift tax. An example would be payments for higher education and room and board.
Payments Pursuant to a Divorce Settlement: Alimony is not a gift, but rather taxable income to the recipient (payee) and a tax deductible contribution to the payor. Property transfers within a year of a marriage's termination and related to that termination is deemed pursuant to a divorce decree and not a gift.
Transfers to Political Organizations: Exempt, too, from gift tax are gifts made to political organizations. These are broadly defined as those advocating the selection, nomination or appointment of any individual to federal, state or local public office.
Business Transfers: Transfers in a business setting are typically deemed compensation. De minimis gifts such as those to reward years of service or commemorate one's retirement are not subject to the gift tax.
Spousal Gifts: Transfers between husband and wife are exempt from gift tax so long as the donee spouse is a U.S. citizen. Should he or she be a non-citizen, there is a limit on the tax-exempt transfer.
Charitable Gifts: Gift tax charitable deductions are unlimited so long as the recipient is a federal, state or local government for public use, a 501(c)(3) corporation for educational, religious, charitable or scientific purposes; or a 501(c) fraternal or veteran organization.
The Bottom Line
One must file a gift tax return ((IRS Form 709 United States Gift (and Generation-Skipping Transfer) Tax Return)) if one gives gifts that exceed the annual exclusion, are of a future interest or exceed the unified credit amount. When determining whether or not one owes gift tax, one needs to determine what gifts he or she gave for the year, whether or not they are exempt from gift tax or within the annual exclusion amount and to what extent they may be offset by the unified credit amount for the year in question. Above all, one should consult a tax professional when undertaking any tax planning decisions.

text:
I don't read much fantasy, mainly because the genre doesn't often appeal to me. Every now and then I come across one that takes my fancy, and because of my taste I'm rarely disappointed when I put sci-fi aside to read one. Over the past few years only a handful of fantasy books have made it into my reading, and of those only a few have stuck with me – but now Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed can be added to that small and exclusive club. Continue reading "Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed"
40 Years by Bernd Struben
You know, there are often times when I get a book through the post, one I've not heard of before, and think – shall I or shan't I? This was the case with 40 Years by Bernd Struben from Strider Nolan Media. The cover didn't really appeal to me and pique my interest that much, but reading the blurb did. It sounded like the sort of book I would enjoy and I instantly thought of John Scalzi's Old Man's War books, a series I've enjoyed immensely. 40 Years is also a fairly short novel, standing at just shy of 200 pages, so when I browsed my to-read stack this stood out as one I should try – I wasn't going to lose much by giving it a shot. I can honestly say that I was so glad I did decide to pick it up – it's a quick read that packs so much into it's pages and left me wanting more! Continue reading "40 Years by Bernd Struben"
The Apocalypse Ocean by Tobias Buckell
My review of Tobias Buckell's latest Xenowealth novel, The Apocalypse Ocean, is now live over at SFFWorld.com. I've really enjoyed this series and setting and highly recommend checking them out:
Having just finished a read-through of all four Xenowealth novels I can recommend them in a heartbeat. This is science fiction at its most enjoyable, offering plenty to marvel at, while still giving food for thought. Personally I hope Buckell returns to this universe in the near future to complete the tale, and whether it be by Kickstarter or some other route, I'll support him every step of the way.
Sly Mongoose by Tobias Buckell
If you've read Buckell's previous two novels, Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin, then you'll know what to expect from a third book in the same setting. If you're new to Buckell and wondering what you'll get between the pages then the answer is simple: an action packed, well plotted and delivered story with interesting and likable characters. Of course, that can describe many books nowadays, so why is this any different? Well, the whole setting is based on the descendants of the Caribbean Islands and the culture that comes along with it is fascinating and enjoyable. You've also got kick-ass characters. And this time around there's an even more persuasive reason to read: space zombies. Continue reading "Sly Mongoose by Tobias Buckell"
Time Salvager by Wesley Chu
My review for Time Salvager, Wesley Chu's latest novel, is now up over at SFFWorld. Definitely recommended despite minor issues I found with it.
If, like me, you came to Wesley Chu's writing through his excellent Tao novels (Lives of Tao, Deaths of Tao, Rebirths of Tao), then you know that he is an author that can not only tell a good story, but one that is intricately plotted and filled with interesting characters. When Time Salvager was announced I was excited to see Chu expand into a new setting and was left wondering what type of story he would deliver. I have to be honest, time travel is not my favourite of topics, and I find that more often than not stories can either corner themselves with too much internal logic, or simply fail to use the idea to its full advantage. Perhaps this is why it's taken me some extra months before finally sitting down to read Time Salvager, and disappointed I was not.
Ragamuffin by Tobias Buckell
After reading, and recently re-reading, Crystal Rain I loved the way that Tobias Buckell bought a unique flavour to science fiction: the Caribbean influences made for an interesting story and very strong characters. It was with great anticipation that I picked up Ragamuffin, even now when I've returned to re-read this novel. My main question at the time was whether or not Buckell could bring the uniqueness and story telling skills to space opera, and if he could how would it all fit together. Despite it being some years since my first read of Ragamuffin I found that I still had the same questions, even knowing that I enjoyed it back then. Both time I was very pleased to find not only an entertaining story, but one that once again brings great characters to the table, delivers an interesting history, and has more than enough action to satisfy. Continue reading "Ragamuffin by Tobias Buckell"
Crystal Rain by Tobias Buckell
Crystal Rain is Tobias Buckell's debut novel, initially released back in 2006, and it's a novel that brings something a little different to science fiction. Born and raised in the Caribbean, Buckell brings a strong flavour of that culture to this story, much to its benefit. With a re-release of the three Xenowealth novels earlier this year (Crystal Rain, Ragamuffin, Sly Mongoose), I thought it was about time I revisited them in preparation for my first-read of the fourth (and self-published) novel, The Apocalypse Ocean.

An appreciation by Peter F Hamilton
I keep coming back to this book. Not that I re-read it much, I don't have that kind of time-luxury these days.

Phoenicia's Worlds by Ben Jeapes
Finding new and exciting authors is one of the things I love most about reading. Often I'll go into bookshops or browse online, and all I see are the same names with new books.

Picking up Phoenicia's Worlds was a no-brainer, though what it delivered was so much more than I expected. Continue reading "Phoenicia's Worlds by Ben Jeapes"
The Old Man's War Novels by John Scalzi
I've recently re-read John Scalzi's Old Man's War novels. Why? Well, I loved them first time around and didn't realise how long it had been since I last picked them up. Add to that the release of the latest in the series, The End Of All Things, and I wanted to remind myself of all the details leading into this one. Despite buying and reading the new novel through the weekly novella downloads (The Life of the Mind, This Hollow Union, Can Long Endure, To Stand or Fall), I still wanted to go back and blast through them all in short order. I'm glad I did, if for no other reason than how entertaining Scalzi can tell a tale. Continue reading "The Old Man's War Novels by John Scalzi"
