Credit Crunch Christmas: Samsung 51-inch Full HD 3D plasma
Christmas isn't Christmas without a few very important additions. First off, Jesus is pretty much an absolute must, and second a huge amount of TV/movie consumption.
The first is easy, as you can simply nip down to your local church for a bit of Christmas worshipping - and it is free. To get the most out of Christmas TV, however, you may need to splash the cash, which is where our Credit Crunch Christmas comes in.
This Currys offer, sent to us by HotUkDeals.com, is for a Samsung 51-inch Full HD 3D plasma TV and it is an absolute steal if you have a spare £600 in the bank.
Although still a wad of cash, the £599 price tag is still pretty good value as you'll be getting 600Hz frequency, a 1,000,000:1 contrast ratio along with 4x HDMI and a Freeview HD tuner.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

f extraordinary strategy eluded the brothers and reached the railway-station, Roland, with his ticket to London in his pocket and the express already entering the station, was engaged in conversation by old Mr. Coppin, who appeared from nowhere to denounce the high cost of living in a speech that lasted until the tail-lights of the train had vanished and Brothers Frank and Percy arrived, panting.
A man has only a certain capacity for battling with Fate. After this last episode Roland gave in. Not even the exquisite agony of hearing himself described in church as a bachelor of this parish, with the grim addition that this was for the second time of asking, could stir him to a fresh dash for liberty.
Altho the shadow of the future occupied Roland's mind almost to the exclusion of everything else, he was still capable of suffering a certain amount of additional torment from the present; and one of the things which made the present a source of misery to him was the fact that he was expected to behave more l
Through no fault of his own, Roland Bleke, a one-time second clerk in a provincial seed-merchant's office, collects unappealing fiancees and undeserved riches. This series of six stories recounts his befuddled efforts to become unencumbered of the first without losing too much of the latter.

SARTQ's Key Influence exhibit opens at the Longboat Key Center for the Arts
Running through October 30, the show featured work from a dozen Sarasota member artists of the artist collective SARTQ.
Members of the Longboat Key Chamber of Commerce met for an after-hours social event Tuesday, July 17, at The Sports Page Bar and Grille. Members enjoyed food provided by the bar before socializing and networking with fellow chamber members.
Jan Rulli took this photo of Tropical Storm Debby over the Gulf of Mexico.
It's Sunday, July 15, and the surf's up on Anna Maria Island. Unlike the previous weekend, when the Gulf of Mexico refused to give the campers at Eternal Summer Surf Camp anything more than flat water, the waves are barreling in.
The twice re-scheduled Longboat Key Invitational Golf Tournament was a successful event hosted by The Longboat Key, Lido Key, St. Armands Key Chamber of Commerce. Fifty-or-so players took their odds on Friday the 13, and David Kovalsky with Sotheby's even got lucky enough to "beat the pro†on a hole. There were various putting competitions throughout the tournament. West Florida Golf Tour and Nickel Putter teamed up with The LLSA Chamber for the event held at Longboat Key Club and Resort.
Social media professional Lee Silverstein led the second-ever Longboat Key, Lido Key, St. Armands Key Chamber of Commerce Lunch and Learn series July 12 at Holiday Inn Lido Beach. Attendees took a break from their workdays to learn how to achieve social media success, in particular achieve the most with their LinkedIn accounts.
Members of the Sarasota Opera Guild met Thursday, July 12, for a luncheon at the Bird Key Yacht Club. The event was co-chaired by Karen Iezzi and Betty York. Members socialized in the dining room before enjoying a meal.
Publix Supermarkets Inc. held a topping-off party to celebrate construction of its new Longboat Key store scheduled to open in December.

I've had seven separate bleeds (I'm nearly 21 weeks), but last night and today I've had brown (old blood) discharge without having had a red bleed. All the other times I have bled red before it turning old/brown. Has anyone had this happen? Is something different happening than before?
Old blood first?

Posted 01/22/2013
I have also had times where I bleed old blood only. I haven't found any specific corralation between when or why I bleed. At some points my heaviest and scariest bleeding was in the middle of the night then it would clear up during the day. It really sucks and can be very discouraging, but hang in there your half way there:)

The original Twilight Zone owns the title Best Science Fiction Show until 1978, when the original Battlestar Galactica debuted. Trek is good, but it's never been "best" hands down.
To each their own, I guess, but I confess that my mind boggles at the idea that the old BSG is the "best" anything.
Never saw the appeal, even back in the eighties.
Maybe this is a generational thing?
It probably is. Speaking for myself, as a member of the original audience of BSG:TOS (okay, I was only eight in 1978, but still...), I can honestly say I don't see what the younger folks see in Ron Moore's overrated, pompus remake.

9th Wonder, Murs and Punch-Out!!
I've been talking hip hop on Dtoid today, and randomly found this gem. I like 9th Wonder a lot but I'm not a huge Murs fan - I may need to rethink that after my newfound respeck due to their vidya game love. Great beat, decent song and the perfect source material.
Watch out for the game freeze and subsequent cart-blowing.

I hear an echo...
Disclaimer: I am not saying my blogs haven't sucked. I'm not saying they haven't failed. I'm not saying I'm a good writer, or even wholly original.
Glad I got that out of the way, feel free to hate on me anyway...because I know you dicks will! (I realize I have sealed my fate by typing that)
Has anyone else noticed that the minute a big (or popular) story hits the front page there are inevitably a couple of cblogs regarding the very same fucking topic posted within minutes? C'mon people...it's not like we can't tell what you're doing, both versions of the same fucking story are staring me in the face. On the same screen. Right beside each other. The only difference is that one was written by a staff editor and the other was written by one of us.
Just sayin. C'mon Dtoiders, I know we're more creative than that.

On gaming funks...
Gaming funks. We've all had them. We've stared with detached aloofness at our gaming rig/console/handheld of choice, echoing that morning you woke up, looked at your girlfriend and held back the words 'I'm just not that into you anymore'.
I have recently emerged from the most severe funk I have ever experienced in all my years of gaming, and I go back to 1983 with the 2600 yo (roots, what). I wrote a cblog about it a few months back, and between the 'fail blog is fail' and 'dude you must be playing shitty games, try this jrpg instead' posts I was met with some good advice. For that I love you all. However all of the advice I was given had been attempted through various means and my desperation grew.
I have now emerged with faith renewed.
Yes, it was a game that brought me back. Yes, it's a blockbuster I'm sure a lot of you have played. No, I'm not going to write a mini-review and tell everyone to go play it and broadcast 'I swear it worked better than Paxil!!'. Instead I would like to share how I came to play this game, and how the experience of arriving at it saved me from my funk and renewed my passion. The game itself is not important, but my story might help those suffering the very same affliction. I have seen quite a few cblogs on the same subject since.
First, a bit of background on yours truly. I have owned an Atari 2600, C64, NES, SNES, N64, PS2, Cube, and I currently game on a good PC and my trusty DS. I was incredibly pumped to get a current-gen console, but when the time came to get one I was held back by unjustifiable price points and an overall apathy towards the games coming out. I decided to wait and see, and the lack of interest only continued. Here is where my funk was truly born.
Last weekend I was cruising around the mall and stores on a rainy day and saw Mass Effect for PC sitting on the shelf. I hadn't played KOTOR or any of their other games so I was not familiar with the formula Bioware likes to employ. So I bought it, only expecting a cool Sci-Fi setting. I brought it home, installed it, and played for about 4 hours. It has honestly been about 3 years since I played for that length of time all in one sitting. I'm also not an RPG fan. It really is a great game. Is it the best game ever? No. Is it even all that incredible? No. Was it something new and different? Just kinda. It's a cross between Star Wars, Star Trek and Battlestar Galactica. It truly is nothing new.
But here is how the funk ended - I took a stab at a random game and came away delighted. In this age of super-hype and up-to-the-minute videogames and online reviews and previews the voyage of discovery has been lost. Gone are the days where you can walk into a store, look at a game and think 'Hey that looks cool' and pick it up. Sure, those days also resulted in me cursing and swearing at the crap game I just purchased, but the gems became memorable because they were found pretty much at random. It's like winning the lotto.
These days we not only know exactly what we're buying but who made it, what they did previously, what the visuals look like, what the overall story is, and how much it cost to make. It is near-impossible to walk into a store and see a game that flew under the radar and grab it for kicks.
I encourage all to avoid preview and reviews and just grab something when your uninformed gut tells you. You may be pleasantly surprised.

Gaming Guilty Pleasures: Physical Confrontation
This only refers to single console, same room style multiplayer.
Now that I've cleared that up, I can safely assume y'all are as guilty as I am. We've all been there...getting our asses handed to us on the couch during SFII Turbo bouts back in the day, no matter what defense or offense we employ is met with defeat and much laughter. So what can a playa do?
Slap the controller out of their hands. Unplug it with your feet. Punch them for real. Spill your drink in their lap. A surprise slap right in the face.
These are but a few of my own ghetto techniques, and I'm positive everyone has their own.
What form of cheap, bastardly payback do you guys employ?

Assassin's Creed PC apparently sucks (who knew?)
Assassin's Creed on PC is apparently a crappy port. Wait, what? A Ubisoft PC port sucks?
From the arstechnica article itself:
'First, the menus and UI are all very console-ized. This might not be a bad thing, but when it takes so friggin' long to exit the game that there are YouTube videos about it, something isn't right. The game takes a long time to get used to using a mouse and keyboard, but you can always just use a gamepad if you'd like. Putting up with annoying interface issues doesn't have such an easy fix. Is it so hard to make your game feel like an actual PC title?
The other issue is that many, many people are suffering from bad crashes throughout the game, and it's rendering the title almost unplayable. What is causing this issue? It's hard to pin down one thing, but gamers are having good luck fixing the issue by disconnecting their Internet connection; it seems the game is trying to phone Ubisoft.
"The address is 220.127.116.11:3074 random local, 3 attempts every 75 seconds, registering to Ubisoft in Ontario. DRM messing with honest patrons again... as long as the game is running it will keep hammering away at that address," one forum member remarked, as other gamers fixed the issues by killing their connection. A forum manager in the UK posted one idea to fix issues, pointing gamers to the latest Nvidia drivers, only to be told that fix does nothing. If you have an Nvidia card or an Internet connection, this may not be the game for you.'
All those crashes that were reported in pre-release cracks of the game were passed off as the cost of illegally downloading content before it's ready. Shame on us.
Guess we were wrong about that folks, the game really is that shitty. Way to go, Ubisoft.
On a slightly related note I get pissed off when developers annouce the death of the PC as a viable gaming machine, then churn out this crap as if to prove their point. I've seen the game running and witnessed the crashes they're talking about - at least try and make it LOOK like you gave a shit when coding this, that's all I ask.

Wat up, vidgames?
I have been a fairly dedicated console owner for most of my life. We started with the 2600, but eventually had every nintendo system, a PS1 and a PS2 and all handhelds. I currently play games on my PC and DS. But not very often. It's like I'm in some sort of videogame depression or something.
I don't own a Wii, despite being super pumped to get one before and after launch. I don't have a 360 nor a PS3. I just can't get motivated enough by the super duper game of the month to actually go out and invest in one of those systems, despite some truly awesome titles lurking around for all systems.
I'm not going to go on a crazy rant about how games suck now, or if they're art, or if they're too violent and shit like that. The problem is me, because I can't bring myself to finish an awesome game like Bioshock. I stopped playing after the Ryan/Atlas/Fontaine reveal and can't be bothered to finish it - and I was riveted up until that point.
I can't play more than 5 levels of CoD4 without getting apathetic either. I was super excited about TF2 and played a lot, but I fell off. I had a 4 month long CS:Source addiction and again, fell off. Loved Contra 4 with a passion but that quickly faded as well.
So please tell me fellow dtoiders - what the eff is my problemo?

Not my Turning Point Gaming Rig
I have no chance of winning, nor did I think anyone TRULY cared about other people's setups, however I have been mesmerized into hopping on the bandwagon because I find myself looking at other people's rigs anytime they post something.
2 Gigs of ram
Seagate 320 Gig HD
DVD Reader/Writer
GeForce 8800GT 512MB
22" Viewsonic Monitor
You'll also find a couple of random shots from the rest of my setup - a row of games currently installed on my system as well as some of my CDs. Take notes if you want to get blessed with the gift of hot music. This is not the cream of my crop, just a random snap.

Moratorium proposed on everything Jack Thompson.
Seriously, we're just giving this ballsack (and everyone else) more ammunition for their cause. I understand we want to defend our pasttime and culture, and I admire our urges to leap at the opportunity to do so.
However we're half of the problem. We're just fueling the fire by blogging in a blind rage every time he opens his mouth. We all know he's an idiot, and most people (including non-gamer types I know) see this shit and think he's a raving lunatic and don't pay any attention to what he says. Only the most plebian of retards actually believe videogames are part of the reason these tragedies happen. Hell, my parents are 60 and have never played a videogame in their lives and even they think this argument is complete crap every time they hear it.
Maybe we should start treating his word for what it is (shit) and finally wipe it from our collective asses and flush it down the toilet.

Hip Hop in games finally done right - I hope...
It's no secret I love hip hop. I have contemplated blogging about my disdain for the way it has been handled in games thus far - crappy compilations of the flavours du jour slapped into games with an 'urban' theme. Now that unborn blog seems somewhat moot, as it was announced today that Chuck D and Just Blaze will be providing audio treats for the upcoming release NBA Ballers: The Chosen One.
Public Enemy was the first concert I ever attended waaaay back in 1990. Chuck D is a personal hero of mine, and is a bonafide sports (and comics!) enthusiast. Just Blaze has produced some extremely hot beats and has been a ray of light in the uber-material years of hip hop culture, and will be providing a new and dynamic soundtrack written specifically for the game.
Can I get a yes yes y'all?
...in honour of this monumental event I will include a sketch of Big Daddy Kane I drew a few weeks ago with my new tablet. BOOYA!

Contra 4 Co-op!
Everyone...play Contra 4 co-op!
This was my first multiplayer experience on the DS. While I love the system it's pretty much been relegated to shitter detail where multiplayer opportunities do not exist. Except in the bus station bathroom, but that's a discussion best left for my therapist and not you guys on Christmas day.
The Contra series has always been near and dear to my heart. The NES was the 3rd system I regularly played games on (not counting arcade games) so I like to think my judgement has not been totally clouded by blind nostalgia.
The multiplayer mode is everything that was great about the original Contra, and then some. The DS also kicks ass for multiplayer, which is something I only recently got into with TF2, followed by Counterstrike. I feel like a fool for waiting so long.
Play it, if any of you consider yourself truly hardcore. That's right - I just called you bitches out. I'm so hardcore I'll be playing this game while watching Rambo 4 as I not only beat the game, but identify every plot hole and weapon used in the flick at the same time.

Snowed in with vids and hip hop
It's snowing. A lot. I enjoy looking at it fall but it's going to be a miserable drive to work tomorrow morning. So what does a brother do on a Sunday afternoon when all snowed in?
It's no secret I'm a fan of the hip hops. I've been listening to it since the 80s, which is about the same time a lot of you were born. I have been playing games just a wee bit longer than I've been listening to music. So again, what do I do on a snow day with nowhere to go?
I bang the new Ghostface album. I listen to some classics from back in the day like Kane, Rakim and De La. I swap between rounds of Counterstrike: Source, Team Fortress 2 and the raptors b-ball game. I run through the goddamn Ocean King temple in Phantom Hourglass for the 8th time.
Yes playas, life could be a hell of a lot worse. Any other heads on Dtoid or are y'all about the emo rock?

Timothy R. Clark: Leaders must weigh the consequences of candor
Leaders have a duty to be candid. They shouldn't disguise things or say they're better than they are. When the arctic explorer Earnest Shackleton put an advertisement in a London newspaper in 1913, he was candid about what his recruits would likely encounter on their ocean voyage. There was no trace of false advertising, no bait and switch, no silk waistcoat on the hog:
"Men wanted for hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."
But what if we're talking about personal feedback? Is candor still the right thing? Is it an absolute? The answer is no. That may surprise you.
In leadership development, we often talk about the quality of being coachable. A highly coachable person is someone who receives feedback well. The more coachable a person is, the more capacity that person has to accept the truth of his own behavior and performance.
The ability to receive candid feedback is a measure of character. It would be nice if we could all withstand a full and unsparing reflection of ourselves. But we can't. Actually, I should qualify that. We can, but we're unwilling. We reject the feedback we are unwilling to act on. We cover our ears and sing to block out inconvenient truths. We engage in denial to avoid a state of cognitive dissonance. For example, Thomas Jefferson was perpetually unwilling to live within his means and died with enormous debt which he bequeathed to his family. He refused to confront the reality of his own behavior.
In my experience, it's only a small fraction of the population that can consistently withstand full self-disclosure. So any candor given beyond a person's ability to receive it is wasted and can at times be destructive. It's like putting a steak in front of a toddler. You may be able to blend in small pieces of meat with a carrot puree, but that's about it. The rest is not consumable. Here's the principle: Leaders must weigh the consequences of candor in order to best serve the person and the organization. That's not easy, especially when a person is performing poorly and lacks the desire to be self-aware.
I know a leader who likes to remind people that he's blunt. He advertises this quality as a sign of courage. He takes pride in the fact that he treats everyone with unmitigated candor, as if to imply that most people are too political and self-serving and can't approach his level of dispassionate judgment.
In reality, this man is thinking of himself, is not attuned to the needs of those around him and is not exercising careful judgment in the feedback he gives. Instead, he flock-shoots by carelessly spewing whatever is on his mind. He's the one that needs a full dose of candor in order to comprehend that some people can only handle it in small doses. He's full of bravado and it doesn't help.
The question is this: How much candor is a person willing to receive? That's a judgment call. If you're paying attention, you can usually tell when someone reaches the limit, as if they've eaten a hearty meal and can't take another bite. At the point of satiation, people show signs of stress overload and retreat into patterns of fight, fright or flight. Candor is no longer useful because it's no longer actionable. More is worse.
As parents, we see this with our children. As coaches, we see this with our players. As leaders in organizations, we see this with our employees. As husbands and wives, we see this with our spouses. We always hope the capacity to receive honest feedback will increase.
In the end, each person decides how much reality to let in. Those with moral strength swing wide the door. Those without it turn the key on the dead bolt. Sometimes we have to force open the door with tough love. But even then it's a choice to receive the candor. We need to remember that.

"Awe-inspired and in love with this place"
- Posted 2 months ago
The colour of this place is sepia with patches of greenery around. Coconut trees, banana fields and mango trees add to the drama. The undeveloped landscape is covered with natural boulders perched upon one another defying the laws of gravity. It feels as if they are romancing in unique positions. It is one of the most unique sites one could ever experience in India. And the best part is, it always leaves you wondering about the story behind each boulder. These boulders are living witness of the mighty Vijayanagara Empire of the 13th century. I am awe-inspired and in love with this place.More » « Less

Hampi is a visual treat for people who love history. It is rich in Indian Cultural Heritage. The temples and the rocks have sustained for centuries, they are just eternal.

"Perfect destination for solo trip and internet free holiday"
- Posted 3 months ago
We should visit hampi at least once, as we should see our ancient civilization and how beautiful india was in its ancient days. You will see what actual architectural beauty lies there that too during that time when there was no such technology.More » « Less
Well in hampi you can visit all spaces as it will not take more than one day to see all places in one side of the river. And for food you should have some snacks with your self. You will get idli, dosa in morning everywhere. And for lunch you can stop at any small small shops. The food was really good over maintaining the taste.
Well it's too hot over there so you can carry umbrella and sunscreen. And shoes especially as you have to walk a lot over there.

I have travelled so many places in India & abroad and I feel that there is no other place like India. One weekend I was looking for a short, sweet & pocket friendly place to visit near Hyderabad and after a long Google search I have decided to visit Hampi and Badami Caves. Hampi has managed to be one among the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. If you are yearning for a location where you can just chill, yet view a mixture of culture and fun, you should visit Hampi.More » « Less
This trip was the most memorable and amazing trip of my life. I have get a luna(Two wheeler) on rent. I have never ride luna before in my life to Rome around the city which I have to push so many times on the hilly road of Hampi. We have started our Hampi tour from Virupaksha temple, the oldest temple in Hampi. Vijay vittala temple, Krishna temple, Badavi linga, Ugra Narsimha there are countless temples and monuments in Hampi and each one is telling a story of its own. A fun trip on coracle (a huge floating basket) at Tungabhadra River, A beautiful sunrise & an amazing sunset I have never seen before.
A heritage to be proud of, an outstanding 6th & 7th century heritage site and our glorious past HAMPI. This trip have change my life forever. Make me a traveler from tourist now I go to places for experience, not just to see stuff. To have fun and become a better traveler.

Hampi known as Vijayanagara is one of the best kept secret of Ancient India (before the coming of Mughal rule in India). It is not just a historian's paradise, but also offers a rich traditional culture of the Lambadi tribe. The magnificent architect of the 13th century A. D. Temples is brilliant to astonish any art lover.More » « Less
A visit near a Full moon night will provide a spectacular view of the shining Tungabhadra river surrounded by mystifying wonder of the Deccan boulders. Visit Hampi for adventure, learning, nature and reclining holiday with your family, kids and friends.
It offers a great place for cycling enthusiasts, rock climbers, for trekking and also for meditation. Prefer staying on the secluded north bank for the river, which offers some of the best guest-houses (like Shanti & Mowgli etc. Cards accepted in most of the places, still carry sufficient amount of cash) and also offers a variety of food, good for vegetarians as well as non-veggies, found to extremely clean and hygienic.
Shoppers can buy some local stuffs (mostly handicrafts) like metal jewelries, bags, rags etc (with a little bargaining). Best time to visit is from Sept till Jan (the weather remains hot & dry, so carry caps, suns creams, shades etc. )
Special things to do: Hire cycles at the daytime and go sight seeing in a group around Hampi (along with kids); spot a higher place (maybe a larger rock top) near your stay to see how beautiful the Hampi grows by the moonlight.
You can turn this into one of the best romantic holiday or an adventure with your kids or a wild night-out with your friends!
Hampi is very close to Hospet. Hospet is well connected by roads & rail from Goa, Hyderabad & Bangalore.

The minute you reach Hampi you are transported to the past and a different era, where time is of no consequence and where all you had to do was to savour the wonder of the moment and get lost in the wonderful monuments and architecture of mysterious HampiMore » « Less
If you have a very active imagination you can visualize the life of the kings, Maharanis and the people of Hampi long long ago. Their leisurely lifestyle, their dedication to the arts and their fierce defence of their stronghold. Every stone tells a story and you just need to be still and quiet and you can hear the past whispering to you
If you really want to appreciate the atmosphere it is best to do it in silence. If your companions are very talkative it is best to leave them behind in the hotel and explore the place alone.
Some of the monuments have been neglected but on the whole a most wondrous experience.
Seeing these wonderful spectacular monuments makes one proud to be an Indian and proud of our inheritance.

Either you can soak yourself in the majestic ruins of hampi or you can sit back and relax in the numerous Bohemian Cafes near River Tungabhadra. Either way it is a treat. Hampi relaxes you and calms you down. Dont miss the beautiful Sunrise from Hanuman Temple in Matanga Hill overlooking the beautiful serpent-like flowing Tungabandra through the big boulders of Hampi.More » « Less

"The perfect place to see a stunning Hampi sunset"

I've visited India over 15 times and spent a few days exploring Hampi a couple of years ago. The place is simply stunning, you need about 4 days to cover just the main sights, and there's much more to see on the periphery that hardly anyone ever explores.More » « Less
One of the things I did do whilst there was scout out what I believe is the perfect spot to see the sunset for photography. Forget "sunset view", there's better to be had !
I've attached a couple of shots.

"A perfect solo trip destination"
- Posted Apr 6, 2015
It was my first solo trip and when I decided to go for a solo trip I have a lot of doubts and concerns like, is Hampi a good choice, how will I travel alone, can I enjoy the trip alone, etc. And now I can say that if you like to travel alone, Hampi is a good option. But it's better to avoid summer season since it's damn hot. And don't forget to bargain with auto drivers and bike renting people. If it's off season like summer, you will get it for a cheap rate.More » « Less

No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is one of those books I've been hearing about for decades, but finally got the gumption to read. Unlike many classics, it lives up to its billing. Of course, there's no plot, and it doesn't read like fiction at all. Just travels back and forth across the country - in cars on the verge of falling apart or as hitchhikers down to their last few dollars. What makes the book so good is how real it is. The leading characters and all the folks they meet on the road. There's humor, there's pain, and most of all, there's truth. A reviewer on the back cover compares it to Huckleberry Finn. I liked this a lot better.
Jack Kerouac's novel On the road is unmistakenly a classic. The novel belongs to the early work of Kerouac. Prior to the publication of On the road he had written various short stories and shorter novels, but most of these were published posthumously, most even as late as during the first decade of the Twenty-First Century. When On the road was published in 1957, Kerouac had only one published novel to his name: The Town and the City (1950).
The early and later prose styles of Jack Kerouac are very different. The novel On the road falls in neither category. It is different altogether, although is shares characteristics with Kerouac's early prose style.
Kerouac's earlest prose was written during the 1930s and 1940s. His earliest collection of short stories, Atop an Underwood: Early Stories and Other Writings was written between 1936 - 1943, and published in 1999. The Sea Is My Brother, long known as "the lost novel" was written in 1942, and published in 2011. Written in 1944, The Haunted Life and Other Writings consists of a fragment of a novel and other prose, was published 2014. A novella from the same period, 1944-5, Orpheus Emerged was published in 2002, while the novel, written jointly with William Burroughs, And the Hippos Were Boiled in Their Tanks was written in 1945, and belatedly published in 2008. These early prose works are written in a fairly conventional prose style, although themes such as the search for freedom and detachment from convention can be found, besides the beginnings of an interest in experimentation with drugs.
In his later prose style, Kerouac's search for freedom and detachment from convention is pushed into his use of language. His late prose, written in a type of stream of consciousness is a wildly extatic outpour of verbiage, poetic at times, and often incoherent. Some of these prose texts were likely written while drunk or under the influence of drugs. The novel Big Sur aims to describe the main character's mental and physical deterioration as he is battling with advanced alcoholism. It is not really enjoyable to read.
On the road was written in 1951, in only three weeks time. The novel compounds seven years of experience "on the road" and is largely autobiographical. Kerouac developed a special technique for writing the novel, reducing distractions so that he could concentrate without interruptions. This led to the production of the first typescript of the novel, referred to as "the scroll". This so-called scroll was published in 2007 as On the Road: The Original Scroll.
It took six years to publish On the road. As explained in the excellent introduction to the Penguin Modern Classics edition, by Ann Charters preparation for publication involved extensive revision of the manuscript. Kerouac's editors asked him again and again to make extensive changes to the novel, both in structure and detail. Names of characters, originally real names of the core group of members of what was soon to become known as the Beat Generation were changed to fictional names. A critical reading and comparison with "the scroll" should reveal how extensively the regular edition of On the road was altered.
The quality of the prose of On the road clearly exceeds any of the prose written before. On the road is unmistakenly a classic. Its prose has a distinct, lyrical quality. It is a great work of fiction. However, in terms of the message it might convey, the novel is dense. Where critics see an epic, mythical journey, often compared with Bunyan's The Pilgrim's Progress, this is not clear to the reader. While the original manuscripts is said to describe several journeys, these have been reworked in the final edition to present a single journey. On the road is somewhat boring because it focuses on one character, while the novel lacks a clear narrative.
On the road is a celebration of America. The experience of hitch-hiking and freedom of travelling all over the continent, and in its descriptions of their adventures on the road, and the places they pass through, the novel gives an attractive image of the United States. It is easy to see how the novel could inspire young people to go out and seek adventure, hitch-hiking "on the road".
Perhaps On the road is the best place to start when reading Kerouac for the first time.
Some good prose and very good descriptions. I didn't like the characters and how they treated other people and women were portrayed as something to use and discard. Some parts of the book were so manic they exhausted me. I've heard this is a classic because it was the first "stream of conscientious" novel. Whatever.
I love Will Patton, but unfortunately I felt his voice over powered the story for me. This is just a personal opinion and no complaint on the actor, who is awesome. It also didn't help that the story doesn't appeal to me personally. Sorry to be sexist but this is such a guy book or for those who lived during the period. For someone my age I just had a hard time dealing with the attitudes towards women and the way minorities were spoken of. It is a fascinating story filled with unique characters and really embodies the time in which it was written and lived. It reminded me of times of The Catcher in the Rye (yes, of course I understand the differences) it is just one of those self indulgent type of stories with self obsessed men and their buddy road trips. I enjoyed the final part of the story the best. Also much of the story is about Dean Moriarty who I thoroughly despised (Again I am a modern women) which affects my enjoyment of the story. I do recommend a read though as I mentioned before it really brings alive that period of time in America. And the conversations you can have are pretty much endless. And for intellectuals and lovers of this book don't go off on me and explain the brilliance of it to me, because I am just not going to get it. I am a simple 45 year old women who is not overly intellectual and just saying how I personally felt about the story. Now off to find some Tea ; )
Sal, Dean, and all of the others are looking for something indefinable but missing from their lives. It is presented as some overarching truth that they never find. Their lives are spent intoxicated and drugged with a string of unloved and often under-aged sexual partners. They had an oddly pseudo-academic life before the book began but more and more use the methods described to attempt escape from the pain of real life. After watching how they (Dean especially) treat the lives of other people on the road, affect the livelihoods of small businesses in their path, and ignore the responsibility of raising the children they have created, it is really hard to empathize with them on their journey. Once it becomes clear that there is no hope for change and that most of the characters are really permanently broken, it feels pointless to finish this book. If this is truly the novel of the "Beat Generation," then it was a sadly lost generation. I think instead it is a novel of individuals seeking to feel the most intense sensations they can while contributing nothing, learning nothing, and actively causing harm to others- a lot like Tropic of Capricorn.
El Sal Paradise de todas las ediciones conocidas de esta novela mítica es aquí, al fin, Kerouac. Y también Cassady, Ginsberg y Burroughs aparecen con sus verdaderos nombres. Con la publicación del rollo original, la gesta viajera y existencial de En la carretera se vuelve autobiográfica de pleno derecho y a plena luz del día, sin censura alguna. Y el relato adquiere toda su potencia narrativa. El lector tiene en sus manos una suerte de manifiesto de la beat generation. Seguimos a Kerouac y a toda la cáfila que desfila por estas páginas en toda su desnudez y penuria. Precursores del movimiento hippy y la contracultura de finales de los años sesenta, los personajes de esta novela pululan sin rumbo por Norteamérica. La sed vital insatisfecha, la búsqueda de horizontes de sentido, de dicha y de conocimiento y los atisbos místicos se estrellan contra una realidad inhóspita y desesperanzada. Un vívido compendio de los grandes temas, y al tiempo una apasionante aventura humana y una metáfora de la existencia. «El rollo original de On the Road es una de las más veneradas y enigmáticas reliquias de la literatura moderna... Un texto fascinante» (James Campbell, The Times Literary Supplement).
With his barbaric yawp of a book. Kerouac commands attention as a kind of literary James Dean.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0140283293, Paperback)The legendary 1951 scroll draft of On the Road, published word for word as Kerouac originally composed it
Though Jack Kerouac began thinking about the novel that was to become On the Road as early as 1947, it was not until three weeks in April 1951, in an apartment on West Twentieth Street in Manhattan, that he wrote the first full draft that was satisfactory to him. Typed out as one long, single-spaced paragraph on eight long sheets of tracing paper that he later taped together to form a 120-foot scroll, this document is among the most significant, celebrated, and provocative artifacts in contemporary American literary history. It represents the first full expression of Kerouac's revolutionary aesthetic, the identifiable point at which his thematic vision and narrative voice came together in a sustained burst of creative energy. It was also part of a wider vital experimentation in the American literary, musical, and visual arts in the post-World War II period.
It was not until more than six years later, and several new drafts, that Viking published, in 1957, the novel known to us today. On the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of On the Road, Viking will publish the 1951 scroll in a standard book format. The differences between the two versions are principally ones of significant detail and altered emphasis. The scroll is slightly longer and has a heightened linguistic virtuosity and a more sexually frenetic tone. It also uses the real names of Kerouac's friends instead of the fictional names he later invented for them. The transcription of the scroll was done by Howard Cunnell who, along with Joshua Kupetz, George Mouratidis, and Penny Vlagopoulos, provides a critical introduction that explains the fascinating compositional and publication history of On the Road and anchors the text in its historical, political, and social context.
Celebrating 50 Years of On the Road A 50th anniversary hardcover edition of Kerouac's classic novel that defined a generation. On the Road is the quintessential American vision of freedom and hope, a book that changed American literature and changed anyone who has ever picked it up. Why Kerouac Matters: The Lessons of On the Road (They're Not What You Think): John Leland, author of Hip: A History argues that On the Road still matters not for its youthful rebellion but because it is full of lessons about how to grow up.

Story of two restless young men in the late 1940s who cross and recross America, encountering parties, girls, drugs, loneliness and their own dreams along the way.

Joel Embiid health update on his injured foot
Bad Philadelphia 76ers news has emerged tonight. The team, which openly spent the past few seasons rebuilding, has a lot of hopes and dreams resting on the shoulders of Nerlens Noel (seems good but not great just yet), Joel Embiid (has not played yet and spent entire rookie season injured) and other players that don't exist yet because they're in the form of draft picks. And now a key member of that list is not healing as quickly as hoped.
The following is a statement from Sixers President of Basketball Operations and General Manager Sam Hinkie, regarding center Joel Embiid:
"As part of the conservative approach focused on the long-term health, recovery and care of Joel, we have been closely monitoring his progress, regularly evaluating his status and adjusting our plans accordingly.
"Recently, Joel and Sixers personnel traveled to Los Angeles for a series of routine exams with a number of physicians who have been actively involved throughout this process. During his visit with Dr. Richard Ferkel, a standard CT scan on Joel's right foot revealed less healing than anticipated at this point.
"Our priority remains providing Joel with every opportunity to ensure he has a long and successful NBA career, and as such, these findings cause us to pause and reassess his current activities. Together with Joel and his representatives, we will continue to consult with the experienced team of doctors who have been an integral part of his evaluations, while also engaging in dialogue with a broader set of experts and specialists.
"Discussions regarding the appropriate next steps are currently ongoing and we will share an update once it becomes available."

same way you guys have about SV live ("SV live" is almost an
oxymoron). But in early 2001 I grabbed the readily-available files of
Jay Farrar performing live in the UK, and later the SEBASTOPOL demos,
and I quite liked them. When Farrar (with Mark Spencer) headlined in
St Louis last November, we made the trip (Gillian Welch was opening,
so it was a no-brainer) and I thought the live performance was really
very entertaining- way better than I expected. Blame it on the home
field advantage, increased comfort level, whatever, but that night at
least one long-time Farrar denigrator left quite happy with what he'd
paid to see. I don't know whether it makes it better or not, knowing
that he's capable of entertaining live shows, given that I wouldn't
expect to see the same thing if he was playing KC tonight (for
instance), but there you go.
np Royals 4, Twinks 3 top 8th
- Yeah, kind of! Of course, I already sold the record back, so I can't
listen to it *again* to be sure. <g>

Check these out, too...
I really like this guy I'm going out with…the only problem is we've never met! I know he's not a total creep because he's friends with my BFF.
Most of my friends think it's weird that I've never even met him. Is it weird? I don't know what to do now.
I'm so happy to hear you've found a great guy. Sure, your relationship may be a bit unconventional, but that doesn't mean you can't make it work.
Your friends are right that you should meet your BF. To have a good relationship, you need to make sure that you're comfy hangin' out in person, too. Next time you talk, ask him if he wants to go to the movies or grab dinner over the weekend. It can be kinda hard asking a guy on a date, but the good news is—you already know he's totally into you! Ease the awkwardness the first time around by asking your dude out on a group date. This way you'll be surrounded by friends if you feel weird at any point.
If you and your BF have been getting along really well over the phone, IM and texts, chances are, you'll get along face-to-face, too. It may be a li'l strange at first (especially if you're super-shy!), but just relax and things will ease up. This is the same guy you've been talking to all along, so there's no need to worry. Just be yourself and have fun!
If things don't go quite as you expected after a few dates, then it might be time to reevaluate. Sometimes guys and gals get along really well virtually, but lack some of that special chemistry in person. If that's the case, just let him know that you love chatting with him, but you're just not feeling that spark. If you're sweet about it, I'm sure he'll understand.
Good luck, girl! I hope things work out for you and your BF!

The Matt Duffin Show - TBI Isn't Funny with Dr. William Jarvis
in Radio
William Jarvis was on the TMDS 'back in the day', where we discussed "The Jarvis Method" of TBI Recovery at home each and every day. Dr. Jarvis has developed the Jarvis Rehabilitation Method (JRM) in 2008 to create internal motivation to improve after a brain injury. Dr. Jarvis was in hospitals for eighteen months and has used these strategies for many years after his own severe TBI in 2000. Dr. Jarvis teaches improvement strategies that reinforce a person's motivation. This method is based on his experience as a TBI Survivor, a teacher, a principal, college professor in Education, and co-leader of a TBI Support Group. His academic study in Education and personal understanding of the effects of a brain injury has provided an opportunity to apply motivational strategies to foster improvement during home rehabilitation.
A 'Magic Man' at heart and practice, the good doctor likes to see folks laugh, as well as seriously do his TBI gift of teaching and life coaching Brain Injury Survivors. Though is regular hummor is geared towards recovery, you KNOW mine is to. I'm just more of a PG-13 guy. OK, R occasionally.
Call in towards the beginning of the show, to listen and talk with Dr. Jarvis. (424) 243-9540. Let's talk humor, it creates social skills. Rolls from there.

Is there an Economic Global Financial Crisis Coming? William Stickevers
in Finance
Be Aware - Be Prepared.
We should all be prepared for whatever type of natural disaster could happen in our area, but we all need to be prepared for what every economist, trends forecaster, finance expert are saying: what happened in Greece could happen anywhere in the world, possibly worse.
This is not meant to scare anyone but to inform them and motivate them to take action to be prepared. Cash reserves, water and food stored, batteries, etc. It is better to be safe than sorry, and all signs are pointing to major turbulence starting in late September or early October.
William Stickevers: With a broad scope of political, economic, psychological, spiritual, and metaphysical knowledge, William Stickevers systematically explores possibilities about the future and how they can emerge from the present by weaving current secular trends, geopolitical factors, and mundane astrological portents.

The End Times? Dr William Deagle James McCanney Leo Lyon Zagami Tim Alexander
Daniel 2:31-45 ..'Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image .. This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay. Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet ... Thou art this head of gold ... And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth. And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron ... And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided ... Forasmuch as thou sawest that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it brake in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter.'
Now this is a sign that most people miss! Have a think about it ... What needs to happen in order for the "beast system" to stop people from buying and selling if they refuse the mark? We need to have a worldwide financial system whereby everything bought and sold is through electronic means, not cash.
Has there been any time in history where this could happen? No. Are WE living in a day where this could happen? Most certainly, yes! And the powers of this world are now trying to make cash obsolete, and are actively pushing pure electronic forms of payment, like "PayPal" and "Google Wallet" for instance. Take a look at the news and you will see this being reported in different countries of the world.
