That's my question: How can I change the subtitles font size in VLC Media Player? I try with Preferences > Video > Subtitles/OSD, but I can't find an option to change the font characteristics.
In Linux the option is clearly visible.
Do you have the latest version of VLC?
Set "show settings" to Full, then go to Video > Subtitles/OSD > Text renderer - there you can change the font size in pixels.

The Spanish and Latin American artist explores the symbolism of boats for his first UK exhibition. Through sculptural works including the 10 feet tall, rusted iron warriors from his Guardian series, which are immense and Buddha-like and an installation of bronze and iron boats from his Departure series, heavy as a result of its material makeup yet evocative of the departure of intangible souls on Egyptian funerary boats.

An equicorrelation-based multiuser communication (ECBMC) scheme for direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) systems is presented. The ECBMC receiver has low computational complexity that is comparable to that of the conventional detector. By using the equality of cross correlations, the ECBMC scheme can completely eliminate multiple-access interference (MAI) in a synchronous single-path DS-CDMA network. The system performance is independent of the number of active users. The scheme is extended to include the effects of multipath fading. It is able to suppress a major portion of the MAI. This proposed ECBMC scheme is quite attractive for an MAI-dominant environment.

The band is rockin', arms are swayin', and you're about to come on screen in high definition with such stunning visual clarity that even people in the nosebleed seats can see your perfect smile.
Is this a rock concert? A beer commercial? Or just a typical Sunday morning?
These days, it could be any of the above.
Whether you're a questioning congregant, a concerned pastor, or a perplexed professor studying the effects of media on religious practice (like me), the use of technology in the worship setting is worth considering.
Media are not neutral. Like ideas, they have consequences, especially in the church. And some of these consequences should give us pause. In Technopoly media theorist Neil Postman writes, "A preacher who confines himself to considering how a medium can increase his audience will miss the significant question: In what sense do new media alter what is meant by religion, by church, even by God?"
Given the impact of new media, we should carefully consider the medium of Christ's message.
We don't want to reduce our religion to an ideology that is but one of many in a marketplace of ideologies. Nor do we want to make the mistake of having the medium we deploy compromise the authority of the message we proclaim.
Image is King
Two years ago the Chicago Tribune redesigned their paper to be more image and web-friendly. They simultaneously eliminated half of their staff—mostly the word people.
This illustrates an undeniable reality: In our society, the written word is no longer the dominant mode of communication. Instead it is visual media comprised of pictures, film, video, symbols, logos, and certain art forms. And our culture worships the images they convey to us. It is no coincidence that film is the most expensive art form we practice and that actors are revered as royalty. We typically place the TV in the place of honor in our homes, a place in other cultures reserved for the family shrine. We pay the most money for those whose image we most want to see, which is why the visually mediated—athletes and movie stars—are the highest paid individuals in our society. These images now consume eight hours (in media consumption) of the average American's day. And their ubiquity makes them invisible to us, leading us to overlook their impact. If you're tagging yourself on your friend's Facebook page right now, or reading this article while watching American Idol, or saving for a wider and flatter TV, then I've got news for you. God may be your co-pilot, but the Image is in the driver's seat.
If the church wishes to emulate our image-obsessed culture, it must also invest in the visual and reduce the emphasis on words. Here's a formula for how a church could do it:
Get a celebrity pastor (young, good-looking, charismatic with a powerful stage presence—all perfect qualities for the image culture)
Multiply his impact by super-sizing his image in the churches via giant LCD projector.
Create network affiliate stations and channels to broadcast images of this celebrity.
Lather, rinse, and repeat.
Why have we seen this model be so effective in drawing a crowd? It's no mystery. It fits the chief characteristics of our digital age perfectly:
Disincarnation: As Marshall McLuhan puts it, "on the air and on the phone" you have no body. This might be alright until you get to church, at which point a fundamental problem arises: "Discarnate man is not compatible with an incarnate church." The entire message and point of the gospel is that God put on flesh in order be with us, and to die for us. Any church use of a medium that disincarnates an incarnate God is going to be at odds with its own mission.

Author has written 2 stories for Janet Evanovich, Thor, and Avengers.
Well my name is Laura. I usually go by Dee. It's been my nickname for years now and I think I answer to it more than Laura.
I'm 30 and single, which means writing is my best friend. My son is eight, so writing can be difficult at times, but since I'm a single mother, it's pretty much my only escape from reality. Trust me, between my kid and family, I need that reality escape.
I've written fanfiction for years under a few different pen names. I've written for a lot of different fan bases too. I tend to dabble and junp around with whatever interests me. If interested, you can follow my progress on my writing Tumblr:
Wordsmith Dee - Just another writer/fangirl
I try to update it daily with blog posts on my daily progress, when I am writing. I do take prompt requests on my tumblr for drabbles. I will also shamelessly be reblogging anything Avengers (latest obsession), Jeremy Renner, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, and whatever else catches my attention. Be warned of dirty language, suggestive comments, and all over hotness in men.
Also, I wouldn't mind having a beta. My grammar can be slacking at times and even though I do my best to catch mistakes, no one is perfect. If interested, drop a line and we'll talk.
My Stories - I've got many story ideas and often when I write I juggle them, bouncing from one story to another. However, I will only be posting one story at a time so that I don't lag and leave one hanging. Below are a list of my stories and their progresses. When one story is complete, I will start posting another. I like to have several chapters written before posting and while posting so that there is no delay in posting. Enjoy! I've been taking a break from writing because real life has gotten crazy and I just can't focus on anything at the moment. My muse has run in fear.

Depending upon the date, I would love to help you in your selection of a venue and a DJ. I have been a mobile disc jockey in this town for 10 years, and have played everywhere. Feel free to contact me at [email protected] ; St. Gregory is a great place, large enough to hold any wedding reception...General Nelson, Best western has a nice area as well, would not go larger than 150 in there though...The KC hall are nice and efficient for a smaller group, andf the American Legion is o.k. as well but will need lots of decorations. OKH GREAT HALL is absolutely wonderful for indoor or outdoor venue, but it does come with a price.
#10 Jan 12, 2009
everything he just said is true, and have never heard of a compliant about mrv jam productions, matt krupp has a great reputation. My opinion, if you can spare, go for the Rotunda. but if your planning on marrying in the next 9-12 months your options on dates may be very slim if even possible. St. Gregory is second best, the gym is definately nicer than any in the county.
#11 Jan 12, 2009

Product Description
If you want to understand the real history of what is going on between Ukraine and Russia and the West, you have to read this harrowing history. Between 1943 and 1945, 14 million people died in Eastern Europe, killed by Stalin or Hitler. Snyder explains why and how this part of the world became the 20th century's hell hole."
New York Times Book Review
Timothy Snyder compels us to look squarely at the full range of destruction committed first by Stalin's regime and then by Hitler's Reich. Each fashioned a terrifying orgy of deliberate mass killing.... Snyder punctuates his comprehensive and eloquent account with brief glimpses of individual victims, perpetrators and witnesses."
The New Republic, Editors' Picks: Best Books of 2010
Between 1933 and 1945, 14 million people were murdered in Eastern Europe. Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin catalogues how, where, and why these millions died. The cumulative effect makes you reconsider every aspect of modern Europe and World War II. Along the way, Snyder achieves something more vital: he wrests back some human dignity for those who died, without treating them solely as victims."
Washington Post
Snyder's research is careful and thorough, his narrative powerful.... By including Soviet with German mass atrocities in his purview, Timothy Snyder begins the necessary but as yet still taboo examination of the full depravity of total war as it was practiced in the 20th century, before the advent of nuclear weapons foreclosed it."
The Economist, Books of the Year
How Stalin and Hitler enabled each other's crimes and killed 14m people between the Baltic and the Black Sea. A lifetime's work by a Yale University historian who deserves to be read and reread."
The Financial Times
[A] superb and harrowing history.... Snyder presents material that is undeniably fresh what's more, it comes from sources in languages with which very few western academics are familiar. The success of Bloodlands really lies in its effective presentation of cold, hard scholarship, which is in abundance."
Ian Thomson, Telegraph (UK)
In this scrupulously researched history.... Snyder does not argue for a supposed moral equivalence between Hitler's extermination of the Jews and the earlier Stalinist extermination of the kulaks. On the contrary, the industrial exploitation of corpses and their ashes was a uniquely Hitlerian atrocitya unique instance of human infamy. Nevertheless, this is the first book in English to explore both German and Soviet mass killings together. As a history of political mass murder, Bloodlands serves to illuminate the political sickness that reduced 14 million people to the status of non-persons."
Samuel Moyn, The Nation
Snyder is perhaps the most talented younger historian of modern Europe working today. Astonishingly prolific, he grounds his work in authoritative mastery of the facts, mining tomes of information in multiple languages and brilliantly synthesizing his findings. At the very least, Bloodlands is valuable for its astounding narrative integration of a gruesome era of European history.... A preternaturally gifted prose stylist, [Snyder] strives for a moral urgency appropriate to his depressing topics, and he rarely succumbs to bathos.... [B]y any measure Bloodlands is a remarkable, even triumphant accomplishment."
Istvan Deak, The New Republic
[A] genuinely shattering report on the ideology, the political strategy, and the daily horror of Soviet and Nazi rule in the region that Timothy Snyder calls the bloodlands.... Timothy Snyder did archival research in English, German, Yiddish, Czech, Slovak, Polish, Belorussian, Ukrainian, Russian, and French. His learning is extraordinary. His vivid imagination leads him to see combinations, similarities, and general trends where others would see only chaos and confusion.... This is an important book. I have never seen a book like it."
The Economist
[G]ripping and comprehensive.... Mr. Snyder's book is revisionist history of the best kind: in spare, closely argued prose, with meticulous use of statistics, he makes the reader rethink some of the best-known episodes in Europe's modern history . Even those who pride themselves on knowing their history will find themselves repeatedly brought up short by his insights, contrasts and comparisons.... Mr. Snyder's scrupulous and nuanced book steers clear of the sterile, sloganising exchanges about whether Stalin was as bad as Hitler, or whether Soviet mass murder in Ukraine or elsewhere is a moral equivalent of the Nazis' extermination of the Jews. What it does do, admirably, is to explain and record. Both totalitarian empires turned human beings into statistics, and their deaths into a necessary step towards a better future. Mr. Snyder's book explains, with sympathy, fairness and insight, how that happened, and to whom."
Anne Applebaum, New York Review of Books
[A] brave and original history of mass killing in the twentieth century.... Snyder's original contribution is to treat all of these episodesthe Ukrainian famine, the Holocaust, Stalin's mass executions, the planned starvation of Soviet POWs, postwar ethnic cleansingas different facets of the same phenomenon. Instead of studying Nazi atrocities or Soviet atrocities separately, as many others have done, he looks at them together. Yet Snyder does not exactly compare the two systems either. His intention, rather, is to show that the two systems committed the same kinds of crimes at the same times and in the same places, that they aided and abetted one another, and above all that their interaction with one another led to more mass killing than either might have carried out alone."
Wall Street Journal
"Bloodlands does what every truly important book should: It makes us see the world differently."

Top Customer Reviews
The Bloodlands extends from central Poland to western Russia, through Ukraine, Belarus, and the Baltic States. Ukraine was the epicenter where the most lives were lost in WW2. Snyder points out that while Hitler's record was atrocious in war, Stalin's was in peacetime and collectively their actions are near unimaginable.
Snyder begins by examining the Ukrainian famine that began in 1933. It was prompted by a failed five year plan and the effects of collectivization. Stalin, loathe to take responsibility, blamed the peasants and "agitators". The author takes a logical view on the lives lost based on the available information and arrives at 3.3 million. This has always been a contentious issue with Ukrainians but Snyder states his assumptions objectively and this adds to his credibility.
Snyder then covers the deportation of Kulaks, the decimation of the Poles from two sides, Jewish persecution and The Holocaust, and economic and ethnic intentions and actions in the Bloodlands. In fact, if there is an explanation for the killing, Snyder roots it in agriculture. Stalin wanted to collectivize farmers; Hitler wanted to eliminate them so Germans could colonize the land.
The book's scope is overwhelming especially to those new to this period.Read more ›
While reading about thousands and millions of people "relocated," starved, tortured, murdered, and worse (yes, worse), we need to keep reminding ourselves that those numbers represent once-living men, women, and children who had every right and reason to live. One page after another divulges new tragedies, yet thankfully Snyder never lets go of the thread of humanity that cries out from all the brutality and mass killing.
We think that history gives us the tools to avoid repeating its folly, but the ever-present danger is that we do not learn. Snyder closes his comprehensive and compelling narrative by speaking about the people of the Bloodlands: "It is for us as scholars to seek these numbers and to put them into perspective. It is for us as humanists to turn the numbers back into people. If we cannot do that, then Hitler and Stalin have shaped not only our world, but our humanity." p. 408

Assumed: Food addiction exists
Submitted on
This is another entry in my "assumptions" series, in which I state one of my underlying assumptions definitively, so the next time I feel the need to veer away from a post's point at hand to provide full background, I can just link to the full thought and let others veer, if they choose to.
The assumption here is that food addiction exists.

A new report released on Monday by Reason Foundation, Taxpayers for Common Sense and Transportation for America proposes cost-effective recommendations that Congress should consider as part of the pending transportation bill that will stretch limited transportation dollars, save money in the long run, cut congestion and better maintain the existing system.
The jointly written report, "The Most for Our Money: Taxpayer Friendly Solutions for the Nation's Transportation Challenges," introduces innovative approaches that will expand the efficiency of U.S. infrastructure while keeping costs in check."Needless to say, the obstacles facing our transportation system are large, especially given the current state of the economy and difficult funding climate," said James Corless, director of Transportation for America. "But by making smart, selective choices about how our vital dollars are spent, — fixing what we have first and looking for ways to better utilize the system — we can maintain our current network and better meet changing transportation needs." The report outlines seven specific tools that would significantly improve the nation's transportation system by reducing future congestion, planning for the future, better utilizing existing capacity, and increasing the safety of roads and bridges. For example, the implementation of "Transportation Scenario Planning" would bring together local governments, metropolitan planning organizations and regional councils to assess forecasted data on transportation demands and develop "what-if" scenarios to indicate how potential systems would function as populations expand. Legislators, businesses and the public then assess these scenarios and come to agreement on the most favorable solution.
Many communities find that changes to "business as usual" result in a more efficient transportation system at a lower cost. Scenario Planning has been used in various states and regions and was recently embraced by Chicago in its "GO TO 2040" plan to develop a new transportation system by 2040 that would meet the city's growing population and transportation needs. Another innovative approach the report recommends is to reduce congestion on the road by expanding the use of High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) lanes. HOT lanes are reserved for buses and other high-occupancy vehicles. Single-occupancy vehicles wishing to access the less congested HOT lanes pay a fluctuating rate based upon the number of vehicles in the HOT lanes to ensure they keep traffic moving.
These lanes have already been introduced in cities around the country, and in Southeast Florida alone, saved commuters nearly $9 million in just six months. The report also recommends five additional strategies, including:• Bus Rapid Transit• Intelligent Transportation Systems• Intercity buses• Teleworking• Local street connectivity
Staffed 24/7 with more than 100 drivers and 58 buses, free National Express shuttles will be running every 10 minutes during peak service and 20 to 30 minutes at lower-volume commuting times.
Will be used to improve sidewalks and ADA ramps within a half mile of the First Coast Flyer™ North Corridor stations and construct pedestrian access to the Armsdale Park-n-Ride facility.
Of the 20 people injured, none were considered serious and 13 were transported by New York City EMS to hospitals.
Riders using a desktop computer, smart phone device or traditional telephone can schedule their pick-up and desired drop-off locations: reducing their wait time, arriving at their destination faster, and increasing the overall rider experience.
The advanced Driver Assist System, utilizing a licensed GPS technology developed by the University of Minnesota, provides feedback to the driver regarding lane position – via graphic driver alert displays, virtual mirror, vibrating seat and actuated steering.

Hardcover book with CD of 20 songs
|A unique history of the 'Great War' for all ages, that combines poignant and personal stories with songs commemorating the courage and bravery of the Australian and New Zealand soldiers and nurses who served at Gallipoli, the Western Front and the Middle East, and their families who supported them from the home front.The book contains 120 often rare photos and personal memorabilia, and a CD of 20 songs with commentary by original ANZAC Jack Nicholson. The songs are a unique, poignant expression of the World War 1 experience and take us on a moving personal journey into the heart of the Anzac legend.The ANZACS: 100 Years On in Story and Song is a tribute to the heroism of ordinary people in a deplorable situation. It deepens our understanding of the war that so profoundly shaped the national psyches of these two emerging nations, New Zealand and Australia, and forged enduring historical and cultural connections between their citizens.
Read more about the book, or click HERE to read a sample chapter!
Ted Egan has been writing and singing about the Anzacs for over forty years. He sang some of the songs here while they listened, and passed that strict test brilliantly. He writes now for their descendants, young and old, an even stricter test, and passes that easily. There is nothing like this splendid collection. It pays an original and memorable tribute to an extraordinary generation.
Ted Egan's The Anzacs 100 years On in Story and Song is a tour de force of Australia's involvement in WW1, from the distress, agony and destruction to the achievements, bravery and heroics of the diggers and their great leaders, Monash and Chauvel. This is superb social and cultural history with a dose of realism when others, through ignorance or agendas, steer clear of the integrity of events. He sees history as it was rather than how he would like it to be. The bonus of excellent music (on an enclosed disc), an Egan forte, delivers an extra dimension to the sense of place and time.

Heritage expert Lindsay Burke and Kennesaw State University Benjamin Scafidi use data from Washington, DC schools to explain in the Daily Signal that a large reason for the rising cost of public education is increased hiring of administrative staff:
Since 1950, public schools all across America have added staff at a rapid rate—much faster than their increases in students.
According to data that the District of Columbia Public Schools submitted to the U.S. Department of Education, the District's public schools experienced a 3.1 percent decline in its student population between the 1993-94 and 2013-14 school years. Despite this decline in students, D.C. Public Schools increased its staffing by 7.7 percent (all increases are in full-time equivalents).
The long-term bloat of public school staff in the District of Columbia shows that parents across the country need innovative and more effective ways to control education spending for their children, instead of letting the school district continue to fritter it away with hiring non-lead-teachers. As researcher Matthew Ladner has documented, those students who choose to attend private school instead of the struggling public schools in D.C. get far less money to spend on their education:
Burke and Scafidi recommend the adoption of education savings accounts–which fund the child, not the school system–as an alternative to traditional public school financing:
Through this option, parents would receive a portion of the funds spent on their child in the traditional public school system, and could then use those funds to pay for a variety of education-related services, products, and providers, including private school tuition, online learning, special education services and therapies, textbooks, and host of other products.
Do you believe the growth in public school staffing is justified? Do you think Education Savings Accounts are the solution?

The Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), through its Augie's Quest initiative, and the ALS Therapy Development Institute are establishing a research program dedicated to discovering drugs to treat amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig's disease.
Under the agreement, the collaboration will be funded by MDA's Augie's Quest and by the Institute (formerly the ALS Therapy Development Foundation). MDA will grant at least $6 million a year for the next three years; the Institute will add its $6 million annual budget to the project. Additionally, MDA will provide access to patients through its nationwide network of 225 clinics. MDA's funding for this collaboration is above and beyond its existing ALS research expenditures. The research will take place at the Institute's 16,000 square-foot facility in Cambridge.
A major goal of the ALS Therapy Development Institute will be to license its intellectual property on relevant pathway and drug leads to biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies for further development and commercialization.

The Perfect Murder
If I hadn't changed my mind that night I would never have found out the truth.
I couldn't believe that Carla had slept with another man, that she had lied about her love for me -- and that I might be second or even third in her estimation.
Carla had phoned me at the office during the day, something I had told her not to do, but since I also warned her never to call me at home she hadn't been left with a lot of choice. As it turned out, all she had wanted to let me know was that she wouldn't be able to make it for what the French so decorously call a "cinq à sept." She had to visit her sister in Fulham who had been taken ill, she explained.
I was disappointed. It had been another depressing day, and now I was being asked to forgo the one thing that would have made it bearable.
"I thought you didn't get on well with your sister," I said tartly.
There was no immediate reply from the other end. Eventually Carla asked, "Shall we make it next Tuesday, the usual time?"
"I don't know if that's convenient," I said. "I'll call you on Monday when I know what my plans are." I put down the receiver.
Wearily, I phoned my wife to let her know I was on the way home -- something I usually did from the phone box outside Carla's flat. It was a trick I often used to make Elizabeth feel she knew where I was every moment of the day.
Most of the office staff had already left for the night so I gathered together some papers I could work on at home. Since the new company had taken us over six months ago, the management had not only sacked my Number Two in the accounts department but expected me to coverhis work as well as my own. I was hardly in a position to complain, since my new boss made it abundantly clear that if I didn't like the arrangement I should feel free to seek employment elsewhere. I might have, too, but I couldn't think of many firms that would readily take on a man who had reached that magic age somewhere between the sought after and the available.
As I drove out of the office car park and joined the evening rush hour I began to regret having been so sharp with Carla. After all, the role of the other woman was hardly one she delighted in. I began to feel guilty, so when I reached the corner of Sloane Square, I jumped out of my car and ran across the road.
"A dozen roses," I said, fumbling with my wallet.
A man who must have made his profit from lovers selected twelve unopened buds without comment. My choice didn't show a great deal of imagination but at least Carla would know I'd tried.
I drove on toward her flat, hoping she had not yet left for her sister's and that perhaps we might even find time for a quick drink. Then I remembered that I had already told my wife I was on the way home. A few minutes' delay could be explained by a traffic jam, but that lame excuse could hardly cover my staying on for a drink.
When I arrived outside Carla's home I had the usual trouble finding a parking space, until I spotted a gap that would just take a Rover opposite the paper shop. I stopped and would have backed into the space had I not noticed a man coming out of the entrance to her block of flats. I wouldn't have given it a second thought if Carla hadn't followed him a moment later. She stood there in the doorway, wearing a loose blue housecoat. She leaned forward to give her departing visitor a kiss that could hardly have been described as sisterly. As she closed the door I drove my car round the corner and double-parked.
I watched the man in my rearview mirror as he crossed the road, went into the newsagent's and a few moments later reappeared with an evening paper and what looked like a packet of cigarettes. He walked to his car, a blue BMW, appeared to curse, and then removed a parking ticket from his windscreen. How long had the BMW been there? I even began to wonder if he had been with Carla when she phoned to tell me not to come round.
The man climbed into the BMW, fastened his seat belt and lit a cigarette before driving off. I took his parking meter space in part-payment for my woman. I didn't consider it a fair exchange. I checked up and down the street, as I always did, before getting out and walking over to the block of flats. It was already dark and no one gave me a second glance. I pressed the bell marked "Moorland."
When Carla opened the front door I was greeted with a huge smile which quickly turned into a frown, then just as quickly back to a smile. The first smile must have been meant for the BMW man. I often wondered why she wouldn't give me a front door key. I stared into those blue eyes that had first captivated me so many months ago. Despite her smile, those eyes now revealed a coldness I had never seen before.
She turned to reopen the door and let me into her groundfloor flat. I noticed that under her housecoat she was wearing the wine-red negligee I had given her for Christmas. Once inside the flat I found myself checking round the room I knew so well. On the glass table in the center of the room stood the "Snoopy" coffee mug I usually drank from, empty ...A Twist in the Tale. Copyright © by Jeffrey Archer.

Normally one to stick with something EVERYONE is reading--you know the ones I'm talking about--- Brown's DA VINCI CODE or McCrae's KATZENJAMMER, I instead opted for this great book. With Archer's usual display of panache, humour and tremendous imaginative strength, each story is tightly packed with more richness and humanness than many good writers manage to achieve in a single novel. His observation of human quirks and eccentricities is acute, and some of his insights are unusually penetrating. His storytelling flows with ingenious fluidity so that the tales and the characters that people the landscape of his vivid imagination seem to sparkle and come alive, all of which makes this collection consistently entertaining.
A TWIST IN THE TALE is the most exciting of Archer's collection of short storiesbook. The stories simply grip you from the start and you wouldn't guess it right how they would end no matter how hard you try to. They get particularly interesting towards the end. The plots are all too unpredictable and the writing is fast-paced, smooth and rich.. It's simply vintage Archer
'A' is for Archer. 'A' is also what readers give to the political thrillers flowing from the pen (always felt tipped, we're told) of this popular British author. He's often been found at the top of the New York Times best-selling list. Also top listed is Martin Jarvis, talented stage and film performer who gives voice to these tales of duplicity, cupidity, and suspense. (Jarvis also reads Archer's 'A Matter Of Honor,' another Audio Renaissance edition.) Archer is so skillful that it seems he almost teases the listener by dropping clues that allow us to think we've figured the matter out when we haven't at all. 'A Twist In The Tale' is a bit of a departure for the author as it is a collection of 12 short stories all plot and character driven, all intriguing listening. We find an unfaithful husband who does a great deal more than cheat on his wife , and in another story discover that chess is not just a game. Knowing Archer, we must have a corrupt diplomat, and in another yarn a controlling father learns a sad lesson. Someone once said that a first-rate short story is much harder to write than a full length novel. Jeffrey Archer has mastered both genres. - Gail Cooke
Great collection of stories by a master story teller.
Waste of time reading this book. U must well read some other book. The critical and crucial part was kind of interesting but not exciting.
Great read! Fun, interesting 'twists' in each 'tale.'
