1930s -- fiction
Coups neatly executed
Nothing sordid, vulgar or plebian
Deserving cases preferred
Police no object
So reads the business card of Margery Allingham's detective/adventurer, Albert Campion.
Indianapolis, Indiana, 1932
Youngest of several sisters and one boy-genius brother, Minnie is excited to have her Texas cousin Willie Faye come live with them. Willie Faye's parents have died, and their farm is gone with the dust storms, so this dandelion puff of a girl is going to find a place with the Swift family in Kathryn Lasky's Christmas After All.
Young in years but not so much in worldly cares, Rose Meadows is set adrift when her wayward father abandons her permanently and her handsome, caretaking distant cousin takes up with the local Bolshevik crowd. But, in Cynthia Ozick's historical novel Heir to the Glimmering World, Rose doesn't give up. She takes matters into her own hands and answers an advertisement for a research assistant in a town miles away.
Jamie Ford's Songs of Willow Frost is a story of love and perseverance set in Depression-era Seattle.
Sisters Pearl and May Chin are "Beautiful Girls"—artists' models in 1930s Shanghai. They live in amazing times in a modern city, dancing at nightclubs, dining at expensive restaurants, buying new outfits, and having lots of admirers. Neither college-graduate Pearl nor everyone's darling May give much thought to their futures. They think they can go on like this forever, marrying as they choose, if they choose. Unfortunately for these Shanghai Girls, they are quite mistaken.
Twelve-year-old Abilene Tucker jumped off the train in Manifest, Kansas, well before it officially stopped—and for good reason. Abeline was in a bit of a mood. She, who was used to criss-crossing the whole nation alongside of her beloved drifter dad Gideon, was being parked for an entire summer at the dustiest, driest town imaginable while he goes to work a railroad job in another state. In Moon Over Manifest, by Clare Vanderpoole, the year is 1938—about 20 summers since her Dad was here as a boy. The whole town, not just the lawns and the gardens, seems like it's about to blow away in the June wind. What Abilene doesn't realize is that this seemingly dead place is full of secrets and regrets just waiting to bubble to the surface.
How would George Washington behave in New York society in the 1930s? The ladies and gentlemen of post-Depression-Era New York have had to reinvent the old rules of order in Amor Towles' Rules of Civility. The women are experimenting with new freedoms where they don't want to figure out how to marry the man with the power and money—they want to be him.
In this story, partly a Sex in the City romp, Katey Kontent, daughter of Russian immigrants, and her friend Eve Ross, who is trying to escape her Midwestern small city blues, make a brand new start of it on New Year's Eve 1937 in the greatest city in the world. They meet banker Tinker Grey that night. They think he is the "King of the heap/top of the list," and he has a well-studied copy of Young George Washington's 110 Rules of Civility & Decent Behaviour in Company and Conversation to guide him. The three form a friendship/love triangle, but Tinker's secrets will test their loyalty. Katey and Eve are not afraid to meet their futures, but Tinker is stuck in the past.
Richard Wright's Native Son is an exceptional example of dynamic, participatory literature. Rather than allowing the reader to effortlessly absorb the words on the page, Wright undermines the passivity and comfort we often expect when reading. Both the content of the novel and Wright's literary style provoke and disturb, immersing the reader in a dense psychological terrain that is simultaneously intimate and larger-than-life.
Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Native Son follows the life of Bigger Thomas, a young African-American man living in squalor with his mother and siblings. Bigger's mother holds him accountable for the welfare of the family, but his ability to work towards a stable life seems perpetually hindered. He can't overcome his poverty because he can't get a job that pays well, and he can't get a decent job because of his lack of education and limited social mobility. He is also imprisoned by the sense that, as an African-American man, his mere existence has been criminalized: "There was just the old feeling, the feeling that he had had all his life: he was black and had done wrong."
The most famed and prolific area of science fiction is the planetary adventure, featuring strange environments, exotic alien races, and massive battle scenes. Many of the most popular science fiction universes, such as Star Wars, Star Trek, and Avatar, take place in these environments. Most of these universes owe their existence to the adventure fiction of one author.

I just finished up with a cross cultural assignment in Guatemala. It was spectactular. The cross cultural team at the home base (Guatemala City) were so incredible and it was because of them that made my volunteer experience so meaningful. As in the last review, they ensured the safety of each volunteer, fed us the most amazing meals and took care of us as if we were their own family.
My assignment was working in a pediatric clinic and not only did I learn a little bit about how the health care system works in Guatemala but developed close relationships with the staff. The families were kind, grateful and so caring.
This being my first experience as a volunteer really motivated me to be more involved with local volunteering, but I am also looking into my next Cross Cultural volunteer trip since it was such an impactful experience.
If you are considering a volunteer program, cross cultural is the one to do and Guatemala is beyong life changing! You won't be sorry to have participated in such a great program!

I've been looking for volunteer programs for my 8-yr old son and myself and came across CCS because they aggressively advertise family opportunities.
The question I have according to the attached 2011 Financial statements: Executive Director, Steven Rosenthal, made almost 400K in direct compensation in 2011. The statements also document that he owns the property CCS works on - and made an additional $718,413 in rent from CCS in 2011. Same in 2010, 2009, etc.
I hate to be cynical but it does sound a bit suspicous. The ED is making over 1 million dollars a year on CCS. Possibley a travel agency disguised as a non-profit?!

I turned them down as to volunteering and they continue to send me their propaganda including this page where there are reviews. 3 out of 11 rate it as a 1! That is one out of 5. I go to Panama and teach English and do it for free and live on my monthly Social Security check of less than $900.00 a month. I'm sure I'm closer to the real life of the public in the countries than one could be in their resort style accomadations. It's a good palyground for the rich to make them feel good while pretending to do a service, but really quite a laugh when it comes down to it.

Have them gracefully withdraw when one has told them no. They are as bad as those religious people who knock on doors asking questions of where will you spend eternity.

I was interested in this organization until I looked up on Charity Navigator that the Ex. Director makes over $275,000 year and they spend nearly $1.3 million on administrative and fundraising expenses. I'm not sure how this is a non-profit in spirit; more like an eco-travel group. Charity is charity, not to make nearly $300K year. Sorry. I'll find another group.

21/4/16 – Credit Suisse Global Megatrends Conference
Watch Martin Jacques in conversation with Shashi Tharoor, exploring what will define the progress of China and India over the coming years. As part of the Credit Suisse Global Megatrends Conference in Singapore. Moderated by Martin Soong (CNBC Asia).
For a report on the discussion please see this article by Jo-ann Huang in The Straits Times.
The release of a brand new expanded and updated Chinese edition of When China Rules the World has attracted a great deal of media attention in China. Below is a video interview with CCTV, followed by a series of links to other reports and interviews.
Click here to view the full length CCTV interview.
A full summary of all media coverage received (all in Chinese) can be found here.
Interviews in Chinese with The Global Times, Wenhui Daily, and Chinese Social Sciences Today, and in English with the Beijing Review, are also available on this site via the links provided.
In the disputes over the South China Sea, no country has been closer to the United States and more hostile to China than the Philippines under the recently departed President Aquino. Indeed, during Aquino's term of office the Philippines has once more allowed the US to use military bases in the country as part of a wider military collaboration. The Philippines has also unilaterally taken its dispute with China to arbitration under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). But since the recent election of President Duterte there are signs of a shift in thinking with Duterte stressing the importance of good relations with China and other leading figures suggesting that the island disputes with China should be settled bilaterally. The column below, reprinted from the country's leading newspaper, The Philippine Star, gives voice to this shift. – Martin Jacques
Carmen N Pedrosa
Today, June 12, we celebrate Philippine Independence Day as it was declared by President Diosdado Macapagal. It used to be celebrated every July 4 because it was the day the Americans granted it to us. But as Macapagal reasoned "freedom and independence is not granted, it is fought for." So why did we continue to be an American colony despite this? Here is a story that is not known to many Filipinos.
The common story told by historians is the Americans betrayed Emilio Aguinaldo by turning against him and not granting the Philippines its independence as they had promised.
In a recent Commonwealth Club event in Silicon Valley, two prominent China experts, Martin Jacques, author of When China Rules the World, and Susan Shirk, author of China: Fragile Superpower, had a fascinating exchange of opinions about China's relationship with the West.
The premise of the discussion was that the United Kingdom is the U.S.'s closest ally, but it has adopted a very different policy toward China. As I wrote here, the British now call themselves "China's best partner in the West." Last March, the U.K. decided to join China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) despite the strong opposition from the U.S. When the Chinese President Xi Jinping visited the U.K. in November, the British government showered him with an extraordinary pageantry – a startling contrast to his treatment from the U.S. where President Obama threatened to sanction China.
"This is a symptom of the rise of China," Mr. Jacques said. "It represents a shift in [global] geopolitics."
Susan Shirk, who is also a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State during the Clinton administration, said the United States has a consistent policy toward China. Since Nixon's time, the U.S. has attempted to engage with China and to build a foundation of cooperation despite the differences between the two countries. "If this engagement is not working out," she said, "we will fall back to 'hedge' military alliances in Asia. But our first choice is engagement."
It is difficult to underestimate the significance of the recent transformation in relations between the UK and China. There are many examples in recent years of countries moving towards a closer relationship with China: the distinctiveness – and significance – of the British case lies in the fact that the UK has regarded itself – and been seen as – America's closest ally ever since the Second World War.
Martin Jacques is chairman of the Harinder Veriah Trust, a charity providing vital support to underprivileged girls in Malaysia, helping them to get the best from their schooling and achieve an education that will transform their lives.
To learn more about the trust watch the video below and visit their website.
This hugely successful TED talk in London has now had over 2 million views. Martin Jacques asks: How do we in the West make sense of China and its phenomenal rise?
27/10/14 — Furama RiverFront Hotel, Singapore
Business China, in conjunction with Singapore Press Holdings, organised a wonderful event on 27th November in Singapore in their Eminent Speakers Series. Over a thousand people packed into the Grand Ballroom of Singapore's Furama RiverFront Hotel to hear Martin Jacques talk on Why China Will Be a Very Different Kind of Great Power — and now for the first time, a complete video of the event is available to view.
The talk was followed by a question and answer session during which the moderator, Professor Tan Khee Giap, asked the audience whether or not they broadly agreed with Jacques's argument. Did they vote for or against? See the short video below.

On 18th September 2012, Martin Jacques gave a talk at the University of Melbourne as part of a public lecture series organised by Asialink, questioning 'Australia's Role in the World'. This highly popular YouTube video of his lecture has over 200,000 views.
Martin Jacques presents a highly successful series of programmes on how best to understand the unique characteristics and apparent mysteries of contemporary China, its development and its possible future. In this new series, he sets out the building blocks for making sense of China today.

Omaha Mobile App
- April 20, 2016
( 68)
Omaha Mobile App is a real time mobile civic engagement tool for Omaha, Nebraska. Omaha Mobile App provides a free, simple, and intuitive tool empowering people to identify civic issues (public safety, quality of life, & environmental issues) and report for quick resolution; an opportunity for government to use technology to save time, money, improve services, and improve accountability to those they govern; and a positive, collaborative platform for real action. Omaha Mobile App is powered by CitySourced, the leader in interactive civic engagement.
Very Immature For a consulting firm that has done these apps for many cities, it is sad to see how under tested and unpolished it is. Plenty of good developers here in Omaha, I don't see why the city outsourced this. ...Just updating for my Droid Turbo 3 years later. Still broke.
Much improved I reviewed this app a year and a half ago and have seen some improvements worth mentioning. When a ticket is entered you receive updates on its status. The interface seems more clear as well. Still needs some visual improvements and more freaking updates would be welcome. I wish it had links to other Omaha city apps like Park Omaha.
Very nice Generally great response from the City of Omaha on submissions. Would love a feedback button or a BS red flag though for when they close something before it's actually done.
Jerry K. I like the app. but they do not keep it updated or tell you if or if not going to do something about it. I am thinking its better to just call the mayors hotline.
Love it
Great App Love the fact you dont have to call and bug them or wait on hold and you can see the progress level of your report. Plus you can view if someone has already reported and vote it up so its not being reported multiple times again wasting employees time. Great App.
What's New
Our navigation panel has been completely reworked to give you a better user experience. Icon support has been added as well as collapsable menus. Enjoy!

Behold the Earth is a feature-length musical documentary that inquires into America's divorce from nature, built out of conversations with leading biologists and evangelical Christians, and directed by David Conover. Filmmakers' blog is below.
We have chosen to speak with leaders in the evangelical Christian community because many of these people of faith are seeing that the care of creation is perhaps the most urgent and necessary expression of their belief and their community life. Historically, the community has also been one of the most popular and influential forces shaping American identity. They continue to be so. From the complete number of posts on this website, we have selected the posts likely to be of most direct interest to evangelical Christians and listed them below. A collection of all posts can be found at Behold the Earth.
We have received many emails inquiring about the status of production. Our final shoots are being scheduled for the spring and early summer. The film is scheduled for completion at the end of 2016, with distribution beginning in 2017. If you represent a church or faith community and wish to be included in our distribution outreach, please send your contact information to Irene Yadao, Production Office Manager, email@example.com
In his recent book THE NATURE PRINCIPLE, Richard Louv brings together a host of provocative thinkers and research. He describes the work of Robert Michael Pyle, who writes about the "extinction of experience." What happens when people lose touch with the outdoors? when we lose our capacity to connect with something beyond the two dimensionality of a screen, mobile or not.
"Our sensitivity to nature, and our humility within it, are essential to our physical and spiritual survival," writes Louv.
What if faith is a sense, along with sight, hunger, peripheral vision, and smell ? Each moment outdoors is a moment to re-nature, to re-create.
For more on 360s mentioned in previous post below… a bit of a tangent from the inquiry into America's divorce from the outdoors, but not really… check out www.islandjournal.com/360.
(360 c0mposite image recorded on south end of Hurricane Island, Maine, on Saturday)
Came across the following by environmental journalist Paul Voosen this morning.
"Historically, the push behind conservation has been a love of nature," said Wiens, the former conservancy scientist. "Translated, there's a sort of religious underpinning to that. It's our moral obligation to protect all living creatures. And it's still a strong feeling in the movement, that everything is important."
A decade ago, though, the Nature Conservancy saw this love of nature fading. Young, mostly city-dwelling Americans don't go hunting, fishing or camping as they did in the past. Between 2004 and 2009, the group saw a 10-point drop in self-identified environmentalists."
Our timelapse and landscape talent Eleanor is also a history buff. She made some observations about the stonewalls that we found in South Hope with the last timelapse we shot. Building stonewalls are experiences of Americana, of who we are and where we came from, in the big picture of the stone and wood we've literally held in our hands over the years. E.O. Wilson differentiates the living creation from the non-living creation. With this lead, my interests in this filmic inquiry are primarily with the living. But the American divorce from nature runs deeper than that.
FROM ELEANOR: "Rarely in need of replacement, constructing stone walls were massive undertakings. This is one reason why they are so familiar in the earliest settled regions of the country, like South Hope Maine, where the frontier mentality had yet to take hold: unlike their children and grandchildren, these farmers expected to spend their entire lives on a single plot of land. A worker could lay between twenty four and sixty four feet of wall per day, assuming that the stones, or "fieldstones," as they were called, had already been transported to the building site.
Historian John Stilgoe notes that wooden fences, which became the popular barrier among farmers outside of the northeastern US, were replaced every fifteen to thirty years. When in the early nineteenth century, depleted woodlots triggered a timber shortage, it was the stone wall laying farmers that had enough wood to keep their fires burning. Of course, it was also these northernmost people who, hibernating from frigid temperatures, were most in need of firewood."
For more information on the life and times of stonewalls, see: Robert Thorson, Stone by Stone: The Magnificent History in New England's Stone Walls (Walker & Company, 2004).

SUPERB acting saved this dated and predictable family dramedy from complete yawner-hood. I suspect it was novel, even ground-breaking, in its day, but the characters seem stereotypical and the themes trite today.

This was a very sweet and enjoyable play. The main characters worked very well off of each other. Made for a relaxing night out.

Ah Wilderness was well acted. there were a lot of characters and all actors did a good job.t. The set was very good. The story is universal enough to be entertaining even though placed in 1906.
The group will do Long Days Journey into Night...continued
This play runs about 2 hours and 20 minutes with intermission.

In RGB, all 3 channels are usually 8 bit, meaning they are all equally "precise".
If I wanted to store HSB / HSV also in 24 bits (for color manipulations / art creation, rather then rendering), are all channels also equally important, or doesn't it make more sense to give more precision to H? Say 10/7/7 bits instead of 8/8/8 bits? Or maybe 9/8/7, or 9/7/8 bits?
Alternatively, I could use 32 bits, but I can't really afford to use one float per channel, as is usual in HSB. And 32 cannot be divided by 3, so I still need different channel bit depths.
Put another way, which combination of bit-depth per channel maps to the greatest number of RGB colors, since that is what it has to get mapped to when it gets rendered?

5.0 stars 57 totalReview Carlos Lastra
Posted by Satyan
I hired Mr. Lastra to represent me and petition for attorney's fees for a previous family matter I had prevailed in. He did a superb job. I was very impressed with his strategy, knowledge of the law, responsiveness and court room presentation. His persuasive legal arguments and trial tactics resulted in a sizable award of attorney's fees for me.
Posted by Roberto
Carlos helped me a great deal as I was going through a divorce at later stage in my life. Being so knowledgeable about divorce law in Maryland helped me understand my legal rights and what my options were to either mediate, settle, or go to court. The best thing about Carlos was his emphasis on preparation from day one, especially my financials. We continuously strategized about different options which helped me a great deal since simultaneously I was going through mediation with my former wife. I was not very hopeful that mediation would happen so I always kept Carlos as my backup option. To my surprise, I was able to mediate in large part to the fact that Carlos gave me a sense of confidence and knowledge that allowed me to take some strong positions during the mediation process. I highly recommend Carlos not only because he is a great lawyer but because he is very approachable and has a good sense of humor, something that you need as you are going through a life crisis. If it had not been for him, I seriously doubt that I would have been able to develop strong arguments to agree on a mediation in my best interests.

I had an attorney prior to Mr Lastra and i was not getting positive results. Mr. Lastra initially appeared knowledgeable, when in fact we went beyond knowledge. The preparation of my case was exceptional, his experience contested his knowledge, the application of the law and the understanding of my situation. Mr. Lastra is a professional, who's determination in my difficult divorce case showed me hope of a final resolution. Before i consulted and hired other attorneys, but his strategy showed me that i could win my case as i hoped. A zealous defense is what I needed something that Mr. Lastra provided for me, he is friendly, treated me with dignity, i dont know how i would have coped without his support. For me it was important feel understood; understand my witnesses, my evidence in my native language spanish; with Mr. Lastra i did, he is fully bilingual, and his fees are reasonable consider the caliber of representation that i received. I'm a lawyer with license in my native country and i must say that I deeply and truly admire him I would recommend Mr. Lastra to my close friends, family, to anyone, i cannot imagine another attorney representing me in the future than Mr. Lastra.

Divorce is never easy. In Maryland, the process is extraordinarily complex and difficult, particularly when it is contested and the other party challenges almost every legal point. In my case, I did my homework and requested Carlos' representation. It was one of the smartest decisions I ever made. Carlos' thoroughness, attention to detail, and comportment in court was simply outstanding. I felt totally prepared and represented in every situation that the process and the Maryland legal system demanded. There is no question that Carlos' abilities and talents are top notch. But he wins cases because of his compassion, his preparation, and his understanding of his client's needs and situation. I would have no other attorney.

Mr Lastra has been my attorney for several years for the simple reason that he seeks and delivers the best possible outcome for my case every time. As his client, I observed and benefited first hand from his extensive knowledge of the law, his impeccable professionalism, his complete command of the courtroom, and his negotiating savoir-faire at the mediation table. Highly ethical and sensitive to my financial situation, Mr Lastra's professional skills and efficiency ensure that his fees are money well spent and utilized in the most effective way to ultimately accomplish the best results. Above all Mr Lastra is a brilliant strategist. And that in itself is an asset that is priceless. When it comes to the welfare of your children or your assets, you simply can't afford not to hire Mr Lastra and you definitely can't afford your ex to hire him before you do.
Posted by Lyat
During the enormous stress of my legal case, the one consolation I had was knowing that I was in the best hands possible. I have hired two previous family law attorneys and Carlos's intelligence,experience and interpersonal skills are incomparable. I really hope I will not need an attorney again, but if I do- I would would never work with anyone other than Carlos. I am very grateful for Carlos's depth of knowledge of the law, and his communication skills. Once again, his intelligence- for which there is no replacement in the court of law- really allowed me to sit back and put my faith in him during an incredibly stressful trial.
Posted by Lisa
Carlos Lastra guided me though a non-contested, no-trial divorce which was my desire and was to the benefit of all parties. His professionalism was impeccable. He was well organized, thorough and responded quickly. He was an attentive listener and communicated clearly. Obviously, going though a divorce is an extremely personal and painful process. I found Carlos to be kind, very respectful and never judgmental. I give him my highest recommendation.

I hired Carlos Lastra to represent me in a simple custody case significantly based on the reviews provided on this web site. To make a long story short, his fees exceeded $100,000.00 and for a case that was estimated, by Mr. Lastra to cost about $20,000-$30,000. To put this in perspective, opposing council's fees, who charged about the same hourly rate, came in at about the original estimate that Mr. Lastra provided to me in his original estimate ($20-30,000). Not only were his fees off the charts compared to his estimates, his performance in the court room was extremely disappointing. He appeared to know very little about the case even after charging for countless hours of reportedly working on the case. In the end, the judgment was as expected but at what cost? There a hundreds of other attorneys out there and hopefully this review will make the next victim think twice about hiring this person to represent them. I only wish I could provide the specific facts related to how poorly I was represented and how significantly I was overcharged by this man but doing so would certainly result in years of litigation with Mr. Lastra and his team of lawyers. Do yourself a huge favor and avoid making the greatest mistake I have ever made in my life and hire someone, anyone else, for your case.
Posted by Laura
I engaged two other lawyers before I found Carlos Lastra, and I am so thankful that I made the change. Mine was a complicated divorce, with an uncooperative, volatile and verbally abusive spouse, and Carlos put a lot of thought into strategy, while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to the constantly changing events as they unfolded. He was compassionate in working with me, and I could tell that he truly cared about me and fought hard to get me the best possible outcome. He also did an excellent job preparing me and my witnesses for our testimony and had full command of the case in the courtroom. His knowledge, experience, hard work, and strategy ultimately paid off and he was successful in obtaining the best possible results for me. I cannot endorse Carlos highly enough; he is truly an exceptional attorney.
Posted by a client
I have worked with many attorneys since my separation and divorce, ten years now.
Most recently, I had a different lawyer for a modification that Carlos could not assume because he moved to a new firm, where my ex had been a client.
I really missed Carlos' absolute excellence and strategy. Carlos will defend YOU and what you are looking to obtain. He will not play judge (which is something many lawyers do, to lower their clients expectations).
Carlos is a magnificent lawyer and has the skills to get you as far as you can go, within the context of your own case and circumstance.

Apparently their work making America look terrible wasn't finished!The haters have come out in full force once again for today's women's World Cup Final match between Japan and USA USA, currently underway in Frankfurt, Germany. As we type, "Pearl Harbor" is a trending topic on Twitter, and is also popping up a lot on FaceBook—largely because people are using it to make anti-Japanese "jokes" and comments. Japan Probe and 8Asians are just two websites that have documented some of the awfulness, including this Facebook status update from a guy whose profile picture depicts a happy-looking little baby: "I couldn't care less about the earthquakes & tsunami's [sic] that have crippled Japan. I hope the U.S. women eviscerate & embarrass the Japs on Sunday. U.S.A.! U.S.A! U.S.A!!" Sigh. Unless you are a vengeful monster, you will be heartened to know that many, many other people are using their Facebook and Twitter accounts to condemn all the hatred they're seeing pop up in their feeds. Still, it saddens us that a day for celebrating some fantastic women athletes and their achievements has become for some an excuse to attack other people. Advertisement Update: Japan won.

I love it! I came on a flat board that kept it protected. The colors are vibrant and beautiful. The directions were sooo simple and easy. I very easily applied it and it easily came back off since I didn't get it centered the first time. Getting all the bubbles out was awesome too. I don't really have a complaint as it covers the front and the back perfectly. The only thing I would say is that although it covers the kindle great I do wish it extended a little further for the back. Where it curves to meet the front doesn't get fully covered, but it is still covered enough. This product is durable and great.
If you plan on keeping your Kindle2 or KindleDX constantly in a form-fitting cover, then you may not need these, although they are still pretty cool. But if you ever expect to remove the Kindle from its protective cover, then these GeleSkins are the way to go with the style & protection you want for the back of your Kindle.
The back went on without a hitch but the front was a different story. The front has a large cutout for the screen and another for the keyboard. When you peel it off the backing there's nothing to hold the shape. It was like nailing Jello to a tree. The best I could do was a BIG wrinkle at the upper left corner. I tried again the next day and managed to get it to fit better but it still has a small wrinkle on the top right side.
Gelaskins needs to come up with a way to put a non-adhesive "plug" into the holes for the screen and keyboard to give it more body. After you get it positioned the way you like you can remove the plugs.
I like the way it decorates my Kindle; it's a kind of a bookshelf, n'est-ce pas?
It was very easy to put on. The releaseable 3M material that it's made with makes it easy to reposition and will not leave a film.
The graphics are lush and gorgeous!

MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I was recently forwarded a copy of Sony's MLB '08: The Show for review. I have to admit I was a bit giddy over getting a free copy since I grew up on baseball video games, starting with Hardball on the Commodore 64. Up until about three years ago, I would still pretty much play a full season out on EA's MVP Baseball 2005. This was my first games since then, so pardon me if I'm a little behind the times.
I requested a PS2 copy since I've yet to take the plunge for a PS3, and quickly popped in my copy when it arrived via FedEx. The intro montage that is common with all video games was as snazzy as ever, highlighting the milestones over the past year. Thome, Thomas and A-Rod hitting 500, Sosa hitting 600, Glavine's 300 and so forth. Noticeably missing was Craig Biggio's 3000th hit, something that gave me a smile. I imagine it had more to do with a contract with the players union which he is no longer a member of since his retirement, but I still appreciated the slight of a long-term Cubs nemesis.
The menu screen popped up and you have all your expected features, franchise and season modes, exhibition, home run derby, manager mode and so on. I went with the "Quick Game" just to get started and picked the Pirates versus the Cubs at Wrigley.
There's quite an extended intro if you want from the announcers as they set-up the game and go through the lineups. The ballpark render looked decent, albeit unspectacular. I do imagine they look better on PS3 version. I studied up on the basics and was ready to play.
Naturally I had Zambrano take the mound and I threw the first pitch - a 4-seam fastball that ended up about 5 feet outside. It was nice to see that they decided to make the game realistic. Of course, I just wasn't use to the pitching interface, but as the game went on I was actually impressed by the realism. One of my all-time favorite baseball video games was High Heat for the PC, and one of the main reasons I liked it was for how well it balanced simulation with arcade play. They did a great job of making it difficult for certain pitchers to throw strikes and as they got more tired over the course of the game, their control went with it. It was nice to see a game pick up on that feature. By the 6th inning I was already up to 100 pitches on Zambrano and I don't think you can get more realistic than that.
I won't bore you with the rest of the details of the games I played. I'll just outline what I feel are the pros and (very few) cons of the game. I didn't get into the season or franchise modes, but I imagine those are pretty standard by now. I do know it has online element where you can play a single game or join leagues. More importantly, you can download the latest rosters as the game was missing Kosuke Fukudome and featured a lineup of Mark DeRosa in right field and Mike Fontenot in second. That should be corrected right after Opening Day I believe.
I thought the game play was fantastic except for a few exceptions which I'll explain in a minute. The game felt pretty real. You really needed an eye at the plate and could work the count when you were batting. On the pitching side, they didn't make it too easy to throw a strike. It seems to me that most video games get that wrong and most AB's only last a couple of pitches. The player animations felt pretty natural, the baserunning was simple enough, although there were a lot of extra features that I didn't even get into on running the bases. They have some intuitive features to analyze your swing and timing as well, and some quick menus to help get the bullpen going, visit the mound or set your infield.
My two chief complaints were that the ballparks could have looked a little better and the pitchers were way too slow between pitches. There was nothing that glaringly stood out in the ballparks that I checked out, unlike EA's MVP 2005 which featured fireworks at Wrigley Field. But the scoreboard graphics on some of the parks looked a little off and the crowd animations were pretty weak. A minor detail, but the kind of stuff you'd like to have for the full experience.
The pitchers though took way too long between pitches, either when I was controlling them or waiting for a pitch. There was quite a delay between picking up the sign and the windup. Even worse, the pitching meter in the wind-up had a completely different timing than in the stretch. I imagine that was on purpose to further enhance the simulation experience, but I had a much harder time in the wind-up than the stretch...and it should be the opposite. There is a "Fast Mode" on the game, but that just seemed to cut-down on extraneous cutaways and waiting for the ball to get thrown back to the pitcher. The pitcher still took forever to get the sign, get into the windup and throw a pitch.
Not to end on a downer because I really did enjoy the game and will likely try to play a season this year (with lots of simulated games). This was probably the closest game I've seen to High Heat and there's a good chance that my memory of High Heat is better than it actually was. If you want a realistic feeling video game with some neat features, I don't think you can go wrong with MLB '08: The Show.
I happened to receive 5 PS3 copies of the game as well and wanted to give them out in a contest that would wrap up around when the season started. If you'd like to enter, follow this link and answer the questions. Each question is weighted equally and the top 5 finishers will win. If you don't have a PS3 or just aren't interested in the games, you should still enter. You can always sell your copy on Ebay or a local video game store. And you still don't want it, I'll donate it to a local children's charity by my neck of the woods.
You have until Friday 11pm CST to enter and we should have the results by Opening Day. Of course, if you don't want to wait for that, consider buying it through us via amazon.com and we make a buck or two to help pay for things around here (PS3, PS2 and PSP from left to right).
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Rob G:
Naturally I had Zambrano take the mound and I threw the first pitch - a 4-seam fastball that ended up about 5 feet outside. It was nice to see that they decided to make the game realistic.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
got friends in the military as im sure many of you do as well, but jeez those guys play the SHIT out of mlb the show. for some it takes over their lives! (when theyre not playing madden or tiger woods golf that is..)
as you were.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
oh and i forgot to mention something.
worst game ever has got to be tommy lasorda baseball for the sega genesis circa 1989. can anybody back me up here??
you gotta love "baseball" for the original nintento though.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
My gaming experience pretty much stops at the Super NES. For
Nintendo, I still have "baseball" and play it maybe once a year, when
I'm really, really bored. And yeah, I love it. The "Y" team
is the best!!!!
Sadly, I never owned either baseball stars or rbi baseball. Ken Griffey Jr.s Winning Run for Super NES is ok.
and nice review rob. I also LOLed at the "realistic" line.
How long would you say the pause between pitches was? I'm so used
to being able to chuck a video game pitch like every 5 seconds, I
wonder if a "natural" pause of 15-20 makes it feel ridiculously
long.... Or are we talking something trachsel-esque?
Re: MLB '08: The Show - From a Mets blog
Not that a Mets fan's opinion is worth anything, (~grin~) but here's another review for anyone interested.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Baseball Stars for the original NES was the best. It was the first game to track stats and let you pull manuevers that still werent available in some games for years to come.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I got the mlb 2k8 for my Wii.
My arm hurt for a day from the throwing and batting.
I can't find away to shut off the announcers...Jon Miller and Joe Morgan.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I can't find away to shut off ... Joe Morgan
lol... This isn't '08 The Show, right, or is it? Is it realistic? Fun?
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
This is different from the Show, but same idea.
Witht he Wii, you have to flick your wrist with a timed pitch. And when you bat you swing the remote like a bat.
I made Wood my closer, and he has the Bugs Bunny curve ball that he had 1998. Hopefully I don't blow my wrist out.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
We'll know it was a bad idea if you end up under the knife for arthroscopic surgery in a couple months.
Really, though, I'm toying with the idea of getting one of those Wiis. I don't usually get the latest game consoles, but that looks like fun.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
if you can find one I recommend it. I really love my Wii. Its great for when you have people over. The bowling game that comes with wii sports (included with the wii) is really fun. 4 people can play. The thing I love is you can literally hand it to someone and say lets play. They don't need any video game experience to jump in and play a round of bowling.
Other games I've found to be really fun.
Resident Evil 4 wii edition
Zelda crossbow (comes with the gun like device. Very fun. My wife loves this game)
Zack & Wiki - another game my wife and I play together
There is another baseball game called MLB Power Pro. Stores in my area (dallas) don't carry it for some reason even though a few reviews I read said it was perhaps the best baseball game in years. I need to order it online i guess.
There are a handful of games I want to play that I haven't been able to buy yet. Mario Galaxy, medal of honor, no more heroes, bully, ea's playground, Battalion Wars 2. those just off the top of my head. all have had great reviews. And the Wii Fit that comes out i'm hoping in May.
There is also the very large library of nes, snes, n64, gamecube, genesis, turbo graphix 16, neogeo games you can download for around $5 a piece. (some go to 8-10) Baseball stars and Baseball Stars 2 are available. Of course, playing old sports games to me is fun at first and then you realize how nice the progression of games has been.
Re: Wii
I have a Wii and love it. I mostly play Guitar Hero 3 but have played my share of bowling and Madden as well. Mario Galaxy is also very cool.
It also plays Gamecube games (with a regular controller) so there are a bunch more games to choose from (though without the cool interface).
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I miss some things about EA Sport's MVP baseball. I played it on PC so I could update rosters whenever I wanted, they had some really cool mods you could download. Also, you could play a whole season and manage the entire organization from single-A to MLB level. MVP wasn't nearly as realistic as the show, though.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Cubs may only go with Eyre in the pen, and Chad Fox not surprisingly will probably start the season at extended spring training.
Re: From Trib Article
"We don't really have to [have a second lefty]," he said. "We'll try to take the best pitching staff we can. If a second lefty wants to grab a spot, that's fine with me. But we're not necessarily looking for a second lefty."
I wish he thought the same thing about the offense and not being pigeonholed into a lefty.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
This 2008 "The show" game is totally consuming. The Road to the Show mode is Much better this year than in previous years. You design a guy that can look spookily like yourself. You join an organizaton and participate in only the plays your guy is personally involved in. I created a SS and am currently toiling away in AA Knoxville. Only action I have to deal with are Batting and Various defensive situations (pickoff throws,Stolen base attempts,Pivoting on the DP).
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Dr. aaron b:
You design a guy that can look spookily like yourself.
You mean a 30-year old, 5'6", nearly 200 lbs rookie in AA? Sounds like a promising career.
Any chance I could make myself taller, younger, and... uh... black?
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Well, I did make myself 18. But other than than I made myself look like myself. 5'8 180 AA Shortstop. 29 wouldnt really make me a prospect.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
BLACK!?!?!?! Make me Dominican!!!!
Minor league camp
AZ Phil,
How are things looking at minor league camp? In particular I've been interested in 2 guys, Samardzija and Larry Suarez, the bonus baby we signed last year.
Has Samardzija been pitching well against the minor leaguers after starting out at MLB camp? Is he getting polished enough to the point that he could make an impact at the MLB level this year or next?
And, what's Larry Suarez looking like? I remember they made a decent deal about the bonus they gave the guy, but we haven't heard much about what he's actually like as a pitcher so far.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - FUKUDOME
Fukudome apparently has to play one MLB game before they can put him in the video game.
However, in rivalry and season modes, you can add his surrogate in Tom Jung, who appears on the Cubs' minor league roster.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - FUKUDOME
He's Kyle Furanato on MLB2k8
Re: OFF TOPIC
Yeah, I didn't find it funny either, but I don't find a vast majority of these stupid "Onion" like comedy articles funny.
Re: OFF TOPIC
That's pretty terrible.
Re: OFF TOPIC
The Onion is generally funny. This was just stupid. I checked out some other articles on the website and they all suck. I think perhaps the key to their problem is their mantra: "The Serious Sports News Network is, generally, willing to accept contributions from anyone willing to submit them - as such, we have printed a variety."
Maybe Rob should start accepting "anything" and see what happens...
Re: OFF TOPIC
We do - it's called the comments section. ~grin~
Re: OFF TOPIC
It's not you, it's not all that funny.
BTW -- The Onion staff put an inordinate amount of time into developing their satire. It's not something that's just thrown together as this piece appears to have been.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Of the many reasons that's not funny, the article has no context.
Now, a funny story could be written about Pie's, uh, problem, in theory.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
How can they do an entire lame article on separation anxiety and not even mention Soriano? I was waiting for the punchline that never came. You're right, it's jokeless without context. That is so NOT Raven.
By the way, what do you guys think of our keeper league? Just kidding.
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
Are you guys telling me they've made a new video game and "Home Run" for the Atari 2600 is outdated? How have the graphics for the stick figures improved?
Re: MLB '08: The Show - Video Game Review and Contest
I've been doing the home run derby on Super Smash Bros. Brawl... 1250 feet with Lucario!
Yeah, it's a stretch to stay on topic. Awesome game, though.
I'm still throwing MLB Power Pros in from time to time. Amazingly fun and deep for a game featuring big head character models.

That's a hell of a first impression by Montgomery. Brian Cashman having a good laugh on that debut.
...and it's a 3 run homer.
hey, vogelbomb had a HR on his 1st game with SEA AAA, too!

"Tommy Stokke of FanRag Sports reports Chris Sale was sent home from U.S. Cellular Field on Saturday after cutting up throwback jerseys that he did not want to wear.
I thought the same. It'd be great luck to face these non-contenders after the trade deadline.
...why isn't j.lucroy playing for TEX yet?

Wow in deed.
FOX Sports @MLBONFOX
Chris Sale was scratched from tonight's scheduled start due to a clubhouse incident before the game
he was sent home by the team, too. the wsox released a press statement and everything. they stated it was non-physical in nature.
He was scratched from his start today. No reason given.
At the start of the season the book was that he was trying to pitch to more contact so he could stay in the game longer and it seems to be working so far. Contact against is 77.5% this year and it was 70.2% the year before. He averaged 6.7 IP/game last year and so far it's 7 IP/game. His actual pitches per game are only down to 106.1/game from 107.2/game last year but if he's able to go a bit farther into games without throwing more pitches and without giving up more runs that is a good thing.
sale's skills and insane value makes it almost too hard to have a market for the guy...he's got 3/38m owed to him over 3 seasons (2 team options). he could easily pull in 30m/yr if he was on the market as a FA.
he's throwing a bit differently this season, especially with more sliders and less changeups like earlier in his career, but all his stuff still looks great even if the HRs are a little elevated and the Ks are down.
Torres, Happ, McKinney, Jimenez, and Candelario for Sale. Deal or no deal?
"The White Sox are reportedly asking for "five top prospects" for Chris Sale, FanRag Sports' Jon Heyman reports."
Unless he develops 30+ HR power and keeps his walk rate close to his K rate at the MLB level, he's not going to turn into Prince Fielder. And even if he does turn into Prince Fielder, he's gonna have a short prime. His very limited athleticism is likely to also detract some value from his ability to reach base--I don't buy making an out as being preferable to base clogging, but you'd certainly prefer just about any base runner other than Vogelbach, David Ortiz, etc.
seeing as arod has played a total of 27.1 innings of D at 1st/3rd and somehow managed a -0.5 dWAR with his 1 error at 1st and an overall positive total zone rating...he might end up even more in the shitter via the characteristics/flaws/whatever of how some sites determine various WAR values. dWAR doesn't directly lead to a WAR value, but the 2 main entities pushing the most popular variations of WAR sometimes lead to some interesting discrepancies in value.
I have a lot of faith in Baez that he's going to turn into a more consistent, solid player. It looks like it took him about a half season or so of futility at the plate to figure out he was not talented enough to get away with the crazy approach he had. I think his running game will eventually have a more measured aggression.

I have a 2003 Ford F150 4X4 and I am hearing a squealing noise from the front end. Its not necessarily making noise only when I turn but generally when the vehicle is moving. My brake pads are fine and when turning the tire it seems like its coming from part of the front drive shaft. Any ideas?

This review is from: Coboc CL-U2-AAMF-16-BK 16ft Active High Speed USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Repeater/Booster Extension Cable,Gold Plated,Black
Pros: for as little as this one cost as compared to others, it's a very good deal
Cons: it's longer than i needed?
Other Thoughts: i have had to place my haf 912 on the desk next to me because my printer cable was just 6'.. had bought a 10' one at more than this one cost and the printer wouldn't work at all..when your printer says that a 6' cable is all that is recommended, believe them.. with this powered extension and another 3' cable the printer has no problem at all with its connection...now 19' works as well as the 6' one...and also now i have no sound of seven fans going on a foot from my head as the haf now sits on a castered stand under the desk....this is niceREAD FULL REVIEW
This review is from: BitFenix Recon Fan Controller
Pros: got this for a early build in 2009, still using it in this one. so six years of pretty constant use and it still shows temps within 1-4 C of mb numbers. quantifiable info to use in showing differences in case and other temps
Cons: the little thermal adhesive strips for mounting the sensors are pretty weak. either be able to put them physically in the airflow, as in a little hot melt or tie or expect them to come loose
Other Thoughts: this unit has done me well and is still working fine. mine came with a couple of extra sensors which i've not needed so far. wiring is long enough and power is molex.. these were not available for a while..READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: Genius GX Gaming SW-G2.1 1250 38 Watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System
Pros: puts out more crisp highs as well as deep bass than i had expected... nice to have separate volume and bass controls
Cons: the satellite speakers are a bit strange shaped; can't say that the design was actually meant to improve sound quality, but.....the subwoofer, satellites, control box; takes up more than a little space on your desk
Other Thoughts: all in all am impressed with the sound quality...i get fairly crisp highs with the satellites on a shelf above my monitor, and some very decent and clear bass... i can rock my office now! these are a good set of speakers and if i had heard them prior to seeing the price, i would have said they cost twice what i paid for them...a good dealREAD FULL REVIEW

Nice little place. One of the cheapest Spritz places we found. Only 2.20 Euros for an Aperol Spritz. Many Cicchetti on offer that looked lovely. Get a selection of them and sit back enjoying a sit down and a nice drink. Plenty of good quality wines at a cheap price. Closed Mondays I think as we went back and it was shut. A must when travelling to Venice.

Top 10.0 Takeaways From Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's "60 M
Derek Loosvelt
December 06, 2010
Sunday night, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg appeared on CBS News' "60 Minutes." During his 20-minute interview with Lesley Stahl, in addition to revealing the new look of 500 million Facebook pages worldwide, Zuckerberg made several things very clear (and didn't break a sweat):
1.0 A Facebook IPO is not, and never has been, the goal. In fact, if you're a business owner yourself and think that selling your business or taking it public is the gold at the end of the rainbow, you're a fool in Zuckerberg's unblinking eyes. 2.0 If you're as tech geeky and code proficient as Zuckerberg, Facebook -- and not Google -- is now the place to be. (Interviewer Lesley Stahl even pointed out that a couple hundred Facebook engineers formerly worked for Sergey and Larry.) 3.0 If there's one decision Zuckerberg got right and his fellow Facebook employees and shareholders got wrong it was his refusal to accept Yahoo!'s proposal to buy Facebook. (As you may recall, in 2006, Yahoo! offered Zuckerberg $1 billion for Facebook. Zuckerberg balked at the deal, despite receiving inside pressure, and today, less than four years later, Facebook is worth an estimated $35 billion.) 4.0 "The Social Network" (the movie) has inspired scores of nerds and non nerds to start their own companies. And to major in math. 5.0 The one thing "The Social Network" got right was Zuckerberg's wardrobe. 6.0 Zuckerberg has learned how to be rather articulate, and less uncomfortable, on camera. 7.0 The infamous Winkelvoss brothers appear to be -- how shall I put this nicely -- identical tools. (Note their agreement to be filmed side by side while pretending to be vigorously tapping away on their MacBooks in a poorly decorated apartment not befitting two dudes who were paid $65 million to go away). 8.0 Speed chess is how Facebook employees unwind. 9.0 Skateboarding through the Facebook office is another way. 10.0 Zuckerberg still likes to hack.
