Newly Remastered on Blu-ray! This holiday season, Clark Griswold [CHEVY CHASE] vows his clan will enjoy "the most fun-filled family Christmas ever." Before you can sing "Fa-la-la-la-lah," he decks the halls with howls of folly in the perennial favorite National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. Seeing is believing. There are 25,000 lights on the roof. An exploding turkey on the dining room table. A SWAT team taking siege outside. A festive supporting cast [including BEVERLY D'ANGELO, RANDY QUAID, JULIA LOUIS-DREYFUS, JULIETTE LEWIS, WILLIAM HICKEY and more]. And a John Hughes script full of wit, heart and sheer goofiness. Yule love it!]]>

The undisputed gem of the National Lampoon 'Vacation' series, the plot can be summed up very simply: idealistic family man Clark Griswold wants to host the perfect old-fashioned fun family Christmas. As all of us idealistic family men have discovered, there is no such thing as a perfect holiday, and that just about sums it up. The appeal of this film is that we can all relate to the disasters that holidays can become, regardless of how well-meaning we are and how hard we work to achieve them.
The cast is terrific. Chevy Chase and Beverly D'Angelo (Ellen) are back as the Griswolds, with Juliette Lewis and Johnny Galecki assuming the roles of Audrey and Rusty. John Randolph and Diane Ladd are Clark's parents, while E.G. Marshall and the ultimate mother-in-law, Doris Roberts are Ellen's parents. Nicholas Guest and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss are Todd and Margo, the yuppie neighbors. William Hickey and Mae Questel (the voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl) nearly steal the show as Uncle Lewis and senile Aunt Bethany. Randy Quaid does steal the show - his "cousin-in-law" Eddie is one of the all-time great characters in recent comedy history.
The self-inflicted situations that befall Clark in his holiday quest are peppered with memorable dialogue and slapstick, yet believable enough to bring flickers of recognition to most viewers.Read more ›
"Eddie: You surprised to see us, Clark?
Clark: Oh, Eddie... If I woke up tomorrow with my head sewn to the carpet, I wouldn't be more surprised than I am now".
I was extremely disappointed with the previous DVD release of this film which contained a pan & scan presentation and nothing more than a theatrical trailer in the extras department.
What we have here is a special edition of this great movie, which will contain audio commentary from both Beverly D'Angelo and Chevy Chase, a "making of" featurette, as well as other stocking stuffers which have yet to be disclosed at this present time.
Being a huge fan of this movie, I honestly can't wait for this release. "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" has become a holiday tradition in my home, and to be able to see it the way it was intended to be seen is truly a treat for me.
Aside from the features of the disk, the film itself is the true gift. One of the funniest movies today which still withstands the test of time even 15 years later. The premise is simple. Clark W. Griswold (Chevy Chase) is hell bent on having an old-fashioned family Christmas in his home, relatives and all. Of course, the hilarity kicks in when things start to go awry. There are so many hilarious scenes in this movie, it would be difficult to list them all. You have everything from an electrocuted cat, to a house with the brightest Christmas light display known to man. Let's not forget the dried up turkey, the saucer sled and the dog/squirrel chase! There's so much more I could say to praise this movie, but if you haven't already seen it, [I won't say more]
Unfortunately, Warner's has not done a good job with the Blu-Ray. I also own the film on DVD, so I'm able to compare the two, and I would have to say that the DVD provides your best bang for your buck. On my 40" 1080p TV the upressed DVD looks equal to the Blu-Ray (the Blu-Ray has a bit that, for the most part, is right around the 10.0 to 15.0Mbps, with the occasional section between 20.0 and 25.0Mbps). Warner's did not put any effort into this Blu-Ray. I've never seen this movie on VHS, but others have told me that when they compared the VHS and DVD versions, they didn't find any real difference in terms of the master used. So it could be possible that this is a transfer that was made in the 1980's and was intended for airing on the old analog MUSE HDTV system that was in use in some parts of the world in the 1980's and 1990's.
Audio wise, again the Blu-Ray features the DVD's same Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround track at a whopping 192kbps. The special features are also the same: theatrical trailer and cast audio commentary.
If you are looking for a copy of this video, just get the Standard Definition DVD version and just allow your DVD/Blu-Ray player to upconvert the video to High Definition.

Ashburnham Hotel
I stayed on Sunday 8th March for one night.
A little difficult to find initially but no big problem. Greeted warmly on arrival and advised of food service times and any other information pertinent to the stay. The room was very clean and for £40 for the night I can have few complaints. Sky tv, free wireless access to the internet and en suite facility all in perfect order. If I had a gripe it would be that access to the room was through a total of four door upstairs all in close succession with lighting that only came on as you entered the corridor and in one of them there is a step. It was a bit of a pain hauling my luggage, laptop through those doors but once there very nice. Breakfast in the morning was great, nothing greasy although no mushrooms available with the breakfast. Due to my arrival time I never experienced the Sunday Carvery although there were plenty of families doing so and it seemed quite popular from this point of view.

Very good value for a hotel in the budget range.
Helpfull and friendly staff get you off to a good start.
The room was a good size and spotless with comfortable beds. The bathroom had some damage to the shower rail but had a temporary repair to it allowing carefull use but otherwise clean and functual. Evening bar meal and breakfast was adequate with good portion sizes. Overall, good ambiance and excellent value and will use again.

Nonkilling speaks both to the goal of preserving the physical lives of individuals, communities, other species, the environment as well as the more metaphorical but also extremely important survival...

This volume helps us start exploring the potential of the nonkilling paradigm when it comes to language use, education and legislation. As many are aware, language permeates most facets of human experience: we use different forms of language and literacy to establish contact with one another, to communicate our thoughts and feelings, to make sense of the world around us, and ultimately to realize our destiny as social beings.< Less

No space for efficiency losses
u-remote enables the most miniature of system solutions that deliver maximum performance
Its savings potential is the only thing that is large about u-remote. With the most innovative I/O system on the market, you can plan your cabinets to be a whole size smaller. Thereby, this high-performance concept not only makes your automation solutions more affordable, but also more efficient in every respect. By coming up with new ideas and technologies and delivering the highest connection density on the
market, we simplify the planning process for you and provide you with plenty of reserves for the future.
Why waste space?
Design your cabinets one size smaller: u-remote, with the highest connection density on a module, offers you the most slender module width and a far lower space requirement for power-feed modules - an unrivaled channel density and extremely flexible design options.
Maximum performance in real time: short response times, addressable at speed and a precise mapping of processes in your machine. The high-speed system bus offers you maximum power reserves, even for the requirements of future applications.
Intelligently separated
u-remote separates the supply for inputs and outputs using two 10 A current paths which are able to withstand high loads. High productivity translates into fewer power-feed modules and therefore more space and less planning.
Designed with safety in mind
u-remote guarantees a reliable stop in operations during ongoing diagnostics. Simply position your safety module directly upstream of the relevant standard output modules – and that's the configuration of your safety technology complete. By securely switching off the output current path, you only shut down the actuator system while keeping the sensor system fully active. You can therefore send the machine status to the control unit at any time, and it will quickly take over the restart operation once the problem has been rectified.
Effortlessly coordinate your solution to your customers' specific requirements. u-remote is independent of any fieldbuses and can easily be adapted and migrated to a multitude of systems. What's more, u-remote boasts an extremely robust design, is temperature-stable and, of course, also meets the common standards and requirements.
Speed up your selection process: with a wide diversity of variants due to para-meterisation, not a multitude of modules. For you, this translates into only one part number per module, a simplified module selection process and fewer spare parts stored on stock.

u-remote minimises cabling errors and is intuitive to use and handle
Handle your projects with maximum performance. u-remote makes your installation process more reliable and faster. The seamlessly pluggable system means that you can rely on your intuition and trust that there will be no errors. Simple handling and a unique function detection are now set to be noticeable factors in the success of your project.
Simply plug and go
Zero errors with higher performance
Clear colours, clear functions
The fastest way to productive operation: Connect sensors and actuators with pre-assembled cables. You save time, improve usage and handling and minimise the error rate. It's ideal, especially for decentralised sub-assemblies and tight spaces.
A single-row connection strip, a clear structure – the assignment to the circuit diagrams is clear. u-remote allows you to avoid cabling errors even when working in a fast-paced environment. Unique: the innovative HD modules allow for connection of eight individually pluggable 4-conductor sensors.
Easy working thanks to an innovative colour concept. You can identify all key functions at a glance and the coloured pushers guarantee intuitively correct working.
Direct insertion – direct savings
All you have to do is inserting the conductor into the clamping unit until it stops – job done. Our "PUSH IN" technology not only makes cabling twice as fast for you, but also offers you uncompromised connection safety. And, of course, you don't even need any tools.
Systematic flexibility
For every type of sensor and actuator, fourpin plug-in connectors give you free choice on conductor technology. So you can use the installation option that suits your project with either 2, 3, "3 plus FE" or 4-conductor technology.
Simple start to series production within a very short space of time
u-remote scores top marks with sophisticated diagnostics
u-remote allows your machines to start up noticeably faster. Clever diagnostic functions make long troubleshooting processes a thing of the past. Thanks to uniquely simple system handling, you can correct signal wiring in a flash.
Consistent minimisation of errors
Clearly identified
u-remote enables start-up in sections even before machinery is commissioned. Using the high-performance web server, you can parameterise and simulate the functionality of inputs and outputs prior to connect a control. You can easily conduct plain text error analyses using a standard browser – whether you're working on-site or remotely.
u-remote's modular design makes for shorter machine start-up. The intuitive handling, seamless pluggability and single-row connection strip make your work easy and reduce cabling errors
An overview makes everything easier. With the extensive range of marking options down to the individual connection point, you can identify functions in a unique fashion and reduce the error rate.
Simply faster to work on
As all the components are handled without tools, your work processes are shortened. For example, you can expand your station in a few quick movements or very easily correct the order of the modules.
u-remote significantly increases your machines' operating availability
Score top marks from your customers with maximum machine availability. u-remote is the most user-friendly I/O concept on the market that you can use to combine high-performance automation with optimum system handling. This gives your machines a convincing range of functions, decisively minimising the time and effort involved in service and maintenance.
Minimise machine downtimes
Improve system availability
The machine may be at a standstill, but communication is still ongoing: u-remote is completely hot-swap-capable. Replace the electronics without the need to switch off the I/O system. A safe solution to keep machine downtimes as short as possible.
The separate I/O current paths enable service activities to be performed while the sensor system is active, since inputs and outputs are switched off independently of one another. So your machine is up and running again in a flash.
Shorten production downtimes with unique plain text diagnostics via the integrated web server. In case of an emergency stop, you can identify errors faster and rectify them in a targeted fashion.
Smart support
Immediately identify errors
Thanks to the printed QR code, you can access installation instructions and technical data online. The direct link takes you to all the key information about the scanned component.
Error diagnosis has never been so easy: You can localise errors instantly with an LED directly on the channel and status indicators on every module. An indispensable benefit for secure commissioning and rapid system maintenance.
Complete control – with safety!

From Publishers Weekly
Allen coins the word "dumbth" to describe contemporary Americans' common ignorance in significant categories of knowledge, cites examples of this phenomenon and recommends the teaching of reasoning in early school years. "Tempering missionary zeal with humor and humaneness, Allen addresses a sorry condition and, better yet, suggests solutions," said PW.

Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc.
From Library Journal
"Dumbth" is the state of the Miami college students in geography who can't find Miami on the map, the people who send flowers to the funerals of soap-opera characters, and innumerable incompetent hotel clerks. Comedian and writer Allen, like Allan Bloom and others back to Plato, thinks stupidity is on the rise, and that what passes for education won't stem the tide. He finds this annoying and devotes much space to limousine companies that fail him at the airport, and other such occurrences. His solutions are chiefly better logic teaching and more common sense--awareness of the complexity of things, understanding of the nature of evidence, and even willingness to watch the news. Alas, no one has told him that the best logicians are troubled by the concept of evidence and find it hard to define simplicity. Still, though spleen outweighs Allen's usual intelligence and wit, readers will find entertaining anecdotes--and something to think about.

This original finish cerused and carved wood ziggurat, demi-lune plinth was one of two that graced the lounge of the Fisher Theater from its opening in 1928 until its re-fit in the early sixties. All the themed decor was produced under the supervision of Sylvanius Griswold Morley, renowned expert on the Mayan Civilization from the Carnegie Institute of Washington, who also wrote the opening night brochure. The dark stained plinth is carved with tracery in Mayan style, and is supported by three carved turtles whose shells are stained in a lighter shade. All finishes are original (Below: Period 1928 photograph from opening night brochure showing plinth in situ, camera left).

The next time Mute Screamer checks for an update to the PHPIDS project you will get a fatal error in the WordPress admin
Fatal error: Call to a member function attributes() on a non-object in wp-content/plugins/mute-screamer/libraries/mscr/Update.php
A patch will be ready soon, with a bug fix release out, but in the meantime if you come accross this error you will have to disable Mute Screamer by moving it out of your wp-content plugins directory. Unfortunately that is the only way to remove the error.
The problem is that the external feed has changed which is why the error is now happening. To prevent this i've added extra validation of the feed before the update process runs.
This problem only affects the WordPress admin side, the frontend of your site will still continue to operate.
Apologies for any inconvience this may cause you, I hope to resolve the issue swiftly.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Allen kicks off a projected series of mysteries set on famous ocean liners with this well-crafted high society whodunit. Suave, smart and handsome, George Porter Dillman seems to be the perfect man for his job as the Cunard Line's private detective. Posing as a first-class passenger on the Lusitania's 1907 maiden voyage, he ingratiates himself with ship's surgeon Lionel Osborne, flirts mildly with young Violet Rymer, assists the troubled American Ellen Tolley, befriends the adventurous Genevieve Masefield and keeps an eye on potential card sharks and con men. Meanwhile, pushy journalist Henry Bancroft tries hard to scoop his rivals, and the aristocrats who populate the book's margins pursue their various schemes. It's not long before Dillman discovers difficult puzzles to solve. Someone has snatched the secret diagrams that explain the Lusitania's wiring, and someone--the same culprit?--has stolen a Stradivarius from world-famous violinist Itzak Weiss. When Dillman discovers Bancroft murdered by a grisly blow to the head, only he can find the real killer. Allen won't win awards for his prose ("Having been given so little in the way of evidence, he now felt that he had far too much and it was causing confusion"). He will, however, please some fans of historical drawing-room murder, especially the Anglophiles. With little violence, much description of jewelry, some intrigue and plenty of stiff upper lips, Allen's confection may overcome its predictable elements to find warm admirers. (Dec.)

From Booklist
The year is 1907, and Cunard Line's gleaming luxury liner Lusitania is about to set forth on her maiden voyage, which the British hope will shatter the North Atlantic speed record and provide bragging rights over the Germans. To make certain everything remains swell for the swells in first class, Cunard has yacht-builder-turned-actor-turned-detective George Porter Dillman, a Yank, planted among them. The passenger list is a who's who of the usual suspects, including sporty spinster sisters, some rich folks whose daughter loves a glib Irishman who loves her money, a father-daughter team who are not what they appear to be, a pushy journalist, and a beautiful woman on the make for a nobleman with a beautiful bankroll. Besides the murder in the title, there is enough grand larceny to keep Dillman busy and enough of everything else to keep readers entertained. Allen's writing style harks back to the classic English mysteries of the first half of this century--and that's pretty good harking.

Top Customer Reviews
Best of all, the ending wasn't a disappointment.
A most pleasant read--next I'll try "Murder on the Mauritania".
A violent murder and several thefts send the ship's officers reeling, but the ever calm Mr. Dillman assures them he will have the criminal in hand, discreetly, before the ship reaches New York.
The characters are colorful and the dialogue, reminiscent of the times, sparkles. The red herrings are obvious but doesn't detract from this fast pleasant read. We will definitely recommend Murder on the Lusitania to our customers and are looking forward to the next book in this series.

LIFE-THREATENING disease can develop in immunosuppressed patients due to a myriad of potential pathogens causing disease in virtually any organ system in the body. The prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment of these infectious processes are essential to limiting their extent and duration and are vital to the prolongation of these patients' lives. Pneumonia is a particularly important cause of life-threatening infection in these populations because it is so frequent, because specific diagnoses can be established in a high percentage of cases, and because specific effective therapy is available for many of these diagnostic possibilities. Thus, the diagnosis and management of pneumonia in immunosuppressed patients are essential skills for any physician who deals with this patient population.
During the last decade, a number of important developments regarding pneumonitis have occurred: the range of recognized pulmonary pathogens has expanded, progress has been made in developing new noninvasive and invasive diagnostic techniques, and

Hi OP...it's me again with another question. For several years I have had disaster-related dreams, mainly earthquakes and floods. Are these warnings from God? And if so, why have they suddenly stopped? Because the time is upon us? Thanks as always!
Yes..the time IS here.
This is the time to BE ready..no longer GET ready but BE ready.

I apologize if you've already said this...I've only had 3 hours sleep...but is anyone going to survive this? I have so many questions and would love to talk with you more on a more personal basis. If I set up a special email account, could I correspond with you that way?
I will say this..there will be a LOT of death. But not enough to significantly lower the worlds population.
Cant harvest what is not there.
It will take a few more years for the world population to shrink significantly.
But at the outset there will be a SHOCK..a sudden "Cull"...and it will wake everyone up..when they realise just how EASILY it could have been them...how FRAGILE their life really is..regardless of their station in live.
The meteorite I told everyone about earlier that hit Russia was but an example of how this will happen.
Out of nowhere..sudden..unexpected and unseen...THATS how it will happen..at random..on a day like any other.
So take what hapenned in russia as a small warning...people will be in great fear..not KNOWING if it could be THEM next..and NO government to help or warn.
The sea and the oceans..roaring..impact after impact..NO one will know where "Safe" is.
The event I was told about..COULD BE the meteors..it could be something else..or it could be ALL of it combined.
But I only see the results of it..not the actual event itself.

The housing part of the spring is laying down on my front tire. Did the strut break? Or did the string housing itself break. And how do I go about repairing it?
Driver side strut on 1996 Chrysler Town & Country
The nation's largest network of independent repair shops certified for expert training, quality work and fair pricing
1 answer
It's hard to know what has happened without seeing it firsthand, but the spring may have broken. The entire strut will likely need to be removed, disassembled and any broken parts replaced. This requires special tools and knowledge to do this safely, so I would recommend taking it to a repair shop. I would also have the strut on the other side inspected to be sure it is not having similar problems.

I have a bunch of linux servers that need to send out email notifications.
I want to elect ONE Linux server as THE email server using postfix, sendmai or any other suggested emails servers and have the rest act as SMTP relay to use the ONE email server to send emails out.
So instead of running multiple emails servers (postfix on each server) I will have ONE actual email server and the rest of the servers, use this ONE email server to send out their email notifications.
I want to do this for simplicity and ease of troubleshooting and administration.
Also I want this ONE email server to use my actual domain name I have registered with GODADDY.
You will send me configuration files for the ONE email server and also the configuration for one other server that will be using the ONE email server to send emails out. Hope this is clear.
Skills: linux, troubleshooting

I'm reading about Mac app sandboxing and am wondering what exactly happens when a user selects a folder in an NSOpenPanel or NSSavePanel. The "App Sandbox Design Guide" gives the following example:
When a user of your app specifies they want to use a file or a folder, the system adds the associated path to your app's sandbox. Say, for example, a user drags the
~/Documentsfolder onto your app's Dock tile (or onto your app's Finder icon, or into an open window of your app), thereby indicating they want to use that folder. In response, the system makes the
~/Documentsfolder, its contents, and its subfolders available to your app.
It's not clear to me what's meant by the "contents" here. Is this limited to seeing what files are in the folder without being able to read what's in those files? Or does this simply mean that the app will be able to read any file that's (recursively) inside the Documents folder (so it can, for example, read both
~/Documents/Foo.txt and
~/Documents/Bar/Baz.txt)? And what about write operations (writing to an existing file, deleting one or creating a new file or folder)?

Just got back home from dinner and turned the game on. Glad to see nothing is happening. Nothing at all. Yep.
there goes the perfect game, no hitter still in tact but homer has started getting behind batters
He pitched those two guys very carefully, for good reason. 6 more outs so hopefully he doesn't face them again.
Oh yeah, Hunnington should offer the Reds Alavarez and Taillon for Bailey. Guy loves pitching there.
Wasn't perfect anyway. Error by rolen earlier.
Hanigan crushed that and it didn't even make the warning track.
Boy, this offense is absolutely down right now. Hopefully there is a on switch in 10 days.
Disagree. These chances only come around every once in a while, so he deserves a chance to go for it.

The cops are ready to throw the book at the pretty blond coed whose prints are all over the murder weapon but Spenser knows there are no easy answers. He tackles some very heavy homework and knows that if he doesn't finish his assignment soon, he could end up marked "D" -- for dead.

"Good start to a great series!"
I've gone years without attempting the Spenser series. I decided to take up the task of trying to read all the books in the series in order. This book is a great start. Without spoiling anything, you get a sense of Spenser's humor while getting a great mini mystery. Yes the book is unabridged and great for a quick trip but the reader is wear it counts. At first his narration comes off as dull but you start to enjoy his interpretation of the character. The story is nothing revolutionary but the plus side is that you can tell Parker respects the likes of Chandler, Hammett etc...which adds to the feel of the novel.
Overall the book is a solid 4 out of 5 stars. Not the best, not the worst. If you're a completest like me then read it, if not still read it because it's the introduction of Spenser who is one of the greats in detective fiction.
Welcome to the group Dakota; welcome to my life Summer, thanks for making it so much better. Support our Troops.
"The First Spenser Novel: Still One of the Best."
Spenser's on campus in 1973 when one investigation leads to his being involved in a bogus murder charge against a coed as her only advocate and protector. The introductory novel of the series was a breath of fresh air at the time, and this one stands up as an excellent example of Spenser's best. It's also the one pre Susan Spenser novel and that alone would elevate it. This one however stands on it's own; the portrait of Terri's wealthy parents is the snapshot of the era. As are the professor and Terri's wannabe badass boyfriend. It's not a Spenser that's recognizable to those more familiar with his later works socially as he has sex with a mother and daughter in less than 24 hours. Iris Milford is another great character and it's interesting to watch Spenser and Quirk stand toe-to-toe ready to go. Even with a subpar narrator this one is a five star listen.
Genre fiction, trashy to literary--mystery, action, sci fi, fantasy, and, yes, even romance. Also history. Listener reviews help a lot!
"Trip Down Memory Lane"
Ahh, 1973. The good old days BC (before cell phones), when the left-wingers and not the right-wingers were the ones calling for the overthrow of the government, and ostentatious consumerism was still considered tacky. A college secretary wears a purple suede garment that Spenser notes is ???too short to be a skirt and too long to be a belt.??? She has paired it with a shiny red shirt with wide lapels. I think I may have owned both those items once upon a time, although if I ever wore them together I???ve repressed the occasion.
In this First Chronicle of Spenser, the erudite but self-educated boxer-turned-cop-turned-tough-PI takes on effete academia at the height of the hell-no-we-won???t-go era. I enjoyed it, but it really is a period piece. I found it interesting to compare ???Godwulf??? with later Spenser books in which college administrations play a significant role??????Playmates,??? ???Hush Money,??? and ???Small Vices??? come immediately to mind, and I think there are others. Perhaps there???s a thesis there: ???The Evolution of the University in the Spenser Novels.???
Ave atque Vale, Robert B. Parker!
Late middle-aged constant reader who greatly prefers Audible "reads" to radio. I love all books -- Audible, eReader and print editions.
"Totally Retro Read"
Honestly, this is NOT great literature, and the setting is SO burned into the late sixties (pre-women's lib, post sexual revolution, mid-hippies) that I felt like I was in a time machine. But it is entertaining and archetypical private eye mystery material. Spenser is sensitive but macho, sexy but uninvolved, Scotch-drinking but health-conscious -- how can you not love this little bite of a book? Readers under 30 may not know what the heck is going on, but I enjoyed it.
"Very enjoyable. I like the author's wit."
This is the first book in the Spenser series: a private eye mystery. Nothing unusual about the plot or method of solving the mystery, and some of the motivations and events might be a little weak. But I'm really enjoying the series. He makes me laugh at unexpected times. It's not a lot of laughs - maybe once every other chapter. But it's rare for an author to get a laugh out of me. So it's worth it.
The narrator Michael Prichard was very good.
Genre: PI mystery
"Not a bad start to a series"
I'm a big fan of Parker's "Jesse Stone" series, but I'd never listened to any of the Spenser books, so when I saw this one in the $4.95 sale I decided to give it a try. It was ok, I didn't struggle through it or anything, but it was a very basic detective story. I didn't like the reader, and it took me awhile to get used to him, but I eventually did. Can't really recommend this book, as I didn't like it that much, but I can't really knock it either as it was an ok listen. If you like basic detective stories, or you want to start the Spenser books from the beginning then this book isn't too bad a choice.
"The Beginning"
Robert N Parker was one of my favorites. His death in 2010 sadden me greatly. It's great that he was such a prolific writer. If I had ever read the first in the series, I had forgotten it. Interesting to see the progression.
"A historical artifact of Spenser"
Joe Mantegna didn't have the look for Spenser in the TV movies, but he had the character nailed, and a great voice. He'd have been perfect. Titus Welliver also could have done it. Michael Prichard is a little stiff and serious for Spenser.
This is not the Spenser you're used to. It's the first book, so the character was still evolving. This Spenser is much more serious...more of a downbeat 1960s hangover of somebody like Travis McGee. I still enjoyed the book, but don't expect the fun, wisecracking smoothie you're used to. This Spenser is still cranky and edgy, and the familiar cast of characters is either nonexistent, or just being introduced. If you're a fan, it's interesting to see the evolution of the character, but it's embryonic here. I enjoyed the book for what it is.
"Poor narration killed it for me."
no- I usually enjoy Spenser stories, but this one's narration was like eating dry, stale toast.
his voice was monotone, with no inflection or change of attitude. It could have been the phone book for all of the personality he gave it. He sounded like a newscaster delivering the dead-pan news reel.
no -
Favorite authors, Elizabeth George, Robert B. Parker, Agatha Christie, PD James
"an avid Robert B. Parker fan"
I love the Spenser series and have read all of them. Perhaps someone who has not read any of the series and has no preconceived idea of Spenser might enjoy this narration. The story is fine, the narrator is not.
The narration was so off character. I couldn't even listen to the book. Spenser was not a formal person and the narrator was wrong for this part.
I love this series and have read the hard covers of all of them. The only issue I had with this purchase was the narration. The narrator was totally wrong for the role of Spenser.
"A no-nonsense read."
Fast paced, no nonsense, tightly written and witty. More gritty than the series Spenser for Hire which was based on this character and which I can remember watching when I was young. The TV series, with Robert Urich, was as much for the gals as for the guys but I would say this book would appeal more to the male reader.
I enjoyed it though and if you do, there are so many more in the series to chose from...

I am very pleased with this sleeping bag. I used it to camp for 7 nights in a summer (unheated/ unairconditioned) cabin with screen windows covered by wooden flaps. The bag was very comfortable in nighttime temps between 57 - 66 degrees. (It may be quite sufficient for cooler temps as well, but I cannot attest to that, yet.) I also really like the fabric lining the bag which is a lightweight cotton flannel, different from the "slippery" 100% polyester on the outside of the bag. The cotton lining of this bag doesn't cause you to "sweat" easily, as other bags do that are polyester both inside and out. For that reason, I didn't mind paying a little more than one might pay for an all-polyester bag. $30 was a fair price for the quality. I felt I had to be a bit careful with the zipper, and in doing so, I didn't have any problems with it. Very pleased with my purchase, and with WalMart's ground shipping -- my sleeping bag actually arrived a day earlier than the earliest date promised. :)
It came in a bag made of the same material as the outer part of the sleeping bag. (site to store rocks) My five year old loved carring it out of the store. Its very warm, being used as a comforter and a sleeping bag diddn't see the need to have both. Was bought for my son to use he loves it. He gives it two thumbs up.
this product is used for a comfort for my bed since i have pets. i love it and would purchase again. the campers would be satisfied using for the out door use. also its very stylish.
These sleeping bags are awsome! The inner liner is really soft which I was looking for! For the money they are awsome! I am so happy that I bought them I was scared at first I was thinking 30.00 I thought I was going to have to pay way more for a soft liner inside but these are just what I wanted. They have a nice carrying case they are light weight. Well wroth anyones money.
These sleeping bags are quite comfortable. It got pretty cold at night and we were nice and warm. I'm not sure if they would be warm enough if it got freezing outside.
We purchased this item as a family gift. As far as we know the product is acceptable and is a good bargain for the price. I would recommend this product.
