Through a series of case studies that involve past conflict in China, the United States, The South Pacific and Europe, the nature of battlefield sites as tourist locations are explored. As places of past conflict and individual acts of heroism, these sites are places of story telling. How are these stories told? And for what purposes are the stories told? The acts and modes of interpretation are many, ranging from a discourse conducted through silences to the more complex nuanced story telling told through re-enactments of past battles. The book also asks where is the battle-field? - as case studies relate to conflicts that ranged over several hundreds of miles, to, on the other hand, acts of local civil disturbance that subsequently achieved mythic values in a history of national identity. The book is divided into 'acts', these being 'Acts of Resource Management', 'Acts of Silence', 'Acts of Discovery and Rediscovery', 'Acts of Imagination' and 'Acts of Remembrance' and embrace examples as diverse as an re-enactment of past battles on a New Zealand rural town cricket pitch to the towering strength of the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown, and from the Straits of Taiwan to the centre of Canada.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It wasn't able to save Michael Jackson -- but the hospital where he was taken is known for reviving others who've gone into cardiac arrest.
A surgeon at the UCLA Medical Center has pioneered a way to save people who might have been written off by most doctors -- including a woman whose heart had stopped for 2 and a half hours.
The method was tested on a few dozen cardiac arrest patients, and 80 percent survived. Usually, more than 80 percent die.
The UCLA expert, Dr. Gerald Buckberg, wasn't personally involved in Jackson's treatment, and it's impossible to know whether Jackson could have been saved. But he says results in other patients show an opportunity for "new thinking" about how long people can be without a heartbeat and still be resuscitated.
Buckberg hasn't been saving people who are long dead. The people who were saved in his study got quick help. And the reason they suffered cardiac arrest was known and could be fixed. In most cases, blocked arteries caused a heart attack.
The people he helped had also been given prompt CPR to maintain blood pressure. And a heart-lung machine was used to keep blood and oxygen moving through the body. Otherwise, patients might suffer brain damage.
Doctors in Asia have had good results with similar approaches.

The Vault: Ralph Wiley, Part I
In 2004, sports journalism lost an influential and respected voice when the great Ralph Wiley died suddenly of heart failure at age 52. But the wisdom in his words endures, and his insights into universal themes will never lose their edge. He was an ESPN Page 2 columnist since the site began in 2000, and we remain humbled by the parts of his legacy that can be found among his hundreds of columns in our online vaults.
Here's a reminder to Celtics fans, Louisville fans and Kentucky fans: You can't have glory days without some sleepless nights worrying about the people entrusted to run a landmark organization with dignity.
"Deconstruction of Rick Pitino Blvd. in Louisville" (March 15, 2001)
The great UCLA men's basketball coach John Wooden once said that to all his friends among the college basketball coaching fraternity, he wished one national championship. To his enemies, he wished two. Wooden was the sort of man you had to stay with.
Rick Pitino, on the other hand, said earlier in 2001, "I'm a wounded tiger," after he quit the Boston Celtics in the middle of the season. Took multi-millions to turn that NBA franchise around. He turned it around, all right. Pointed it right into the ground, then bailed out before impact, and took the only available parachute with him. They've done better since he left, righted the ship, didn't crash. They are the wounded tigers.
Once upon a time, Wiley was moved to study why fans held Tiger Woods' dominance in such awe. While there's little doubt as to the esteem Wiley had for the golfer when Woods had a mere eight majors in the bag, we can only wonder how Wiley would have countered this come 2009.
"These are the days of the Tiger Dynasty" (June 17, 2002)
What is it like, to live in the Tiger -- as opposed to the Ming -- Dynasty? You oughta know. You're doing it. But why is it the Tiger Dynasty, with all that's going on? What about him captures us?
ESPN runs a poll: Who is the the World's Most Dominant Athlete? Tiger gets nearly 55 percent of the vote, Shaq some 30-odd percent. The undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, Lennox Lewis, gets something like 3 percent. Imagine this in the time of, say, Joe Louis or Muhammad Ali. It would not happen.
Wiley points out Venus Williams strikes a unique balance as an elite professional competitor -- she shows that her sensitivity toward her sister can rival her laser-focused quest for tennis titles.
"Venus can do whatever she wants" (Sept. 6, 2002)
In male-dominated sports, win-at-all-costs is our "mother's milk." So ironic. Venus doesn't live by our creed. Does that make her an underachiever, someone you wouldn't want your child to emulate?
Or does it make her better, more mature, more human, deeper than we can imagine? Does it make her our Amazon Mother, showing us a higher plane, a broader horizon, a new way to compete?
Hmmm. Was Cowboys fan Jim Bob Joe just a figment of Wiley's imagination, or is he someone still around who we can hire as a correspondent for Page 2 at ESPN.com/Dallas?
"Where have all the Cowboys gone?" (Aug. 9, 2002)
(Editor's Note: In the interests of equal time, and since R-Dub and Road Dog are deep in the throes of the dog days, today's column is by Jim Bob Joe, citizen of the great state of Texas, and the ultimate Dallas Cowboy fan. Subtitles will be applied, as needed.)
As if we don't got enough problems at quarterback. Gotta go with Quincy Carter, that ol' Georgia boy. Not that we wanna. We gotta. Don't see much of him in that HBO seer-ees (series) called "Hard Knocks." Quincy didn't want be on that there ESPN thing called "The Lahfe (Life)" neither. Gotta admire Quincy for that. Boy knows his place. We gotta use him under center, under that Gew-rode, because Chad, he ain't a-ready yit (yet). Won't take long. Boy's name is Chad. That's a Cowboy if I ever heard'a one.

It was promoted as a SF/Horror flick similar to ALIEN, and it really isn't--it's more like Alfred Hitchcock directing THE RIGHT STUFF.
All the SF movie fans I know tend to like byzantine tales, historic in scope, filled with quirky characters roaming rich new landscapes, so this simple tale of a small group of men trying to escape a desolate red planet within a short span of hours might not be rich enough for them. (The SF fanboys won't like it because Carrie-Anne Moss's shower scene is too short and doesn't show enough...er...Moss.)
It's definitely worth a rental, but you won't want to own it unless you're a suspense fan that revels more in how a film is put together than in how it turns out.
The special effects are not bad.
The science IS bad, and inconsistant, but since this is a movie and not a documentary, so I suppose that's allowable.
I would have loved to see more Terrance Stamp.
The relationships between the crew are not well explained and take unexpected turns here and there. The flashback- oh yeah - this happened - scene to explain the Kilmer-Moss relationship irritated me. Why on earth (or Mars) not show it as it happened - then we might all understand the situation. At times, I was wondering "Why are they acting like this?"
Not bad - SF fans will still like it - keep expectations low.

Val Kilmer is a great actor, I love all his movies, and this movie is no exception. He plays a pretty cool mechanic. I dislike Carrie slightly in this movie because of her stupid journal entry thingies. You know, "Gallagher was the mechanic, Jimbo was the weapons blah blah blah." Get on with it. After the beggining, and the stupid journal entry at the end, I like the movie. I saw it in theatres when it came out, and it has a cool atmosphere. I was slightly bored because I had homework to do, but the movie was still enjoyable. The robot is awesome. It flips and ... does stuff with a hover thingy, and even employs some crazy tactics. The bugs are fine, and the plot is great. "No it isn't. Mdizzio." Yes it is man, it is great. There is oxygen on a planet, some guys were going down to like check the colonization or something, i forget. But still, they were there for a reason, they found out there was no algae, and soon the plot comes down on you. Killer robot, killer firefly-bees, a spaceship, and a little space-shiperooni. I like the special effects.
If I watched it a third time, I would still be slightly intrested because I wasn't paying too much attention to the movie, but I still like it. In the dark with nothing to do but watching Red Planet would be cool. The atmosphere, combined with great special effects really makes the movie worth-while. Stop saying it is a "B" movie, because it is a pretty good movie, and I don't really think anyone could justify that it was a bad movie. Seriously though, what is bad about it.

Introduced in April, HP Converged Cloud is the industry's first strategy and portfolio based on a single architecture that combines private, managed and public cloud, as well as traditional IT, to create an environment that can rapidly change based on organizational requirements.
Recent research conducted on behalf of HP suggests that by 2020, senior business and technology executives expect their organizations' public and private cloud delivery models to nearly double.(1) However, if not implemented properly, these delivery models could yield cloud silos, creating complexity, risk and vendor lock-in.
"Successful organizations need to be able to select the right delivery model for their technology needs whether it be in the cloud or on premise," said Bill Veghte, chief operating officer, HP. "HP's Converged Cloud approach provides enterprises choice in delivery model and platform with the confidence in the service delivered via market leading products, coupled with a consistent architecture and experience."
Hybrid cloud for the airline industry
Enabling airlines to quickly introduce new products and services to enhance revenue, HP announced its vision of an "Intelligent Airline Cloud," delivering integrated Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) platforms that meet the specific requirements of airline clients. HP Converged Cloud Services for Airlines provides the industry's first hybrid delivery approach to the cloud.
HP Converged Cloud Services for Airlines includes HP Passenger Service Solution, which combines HP's core travel and transportation industry solutions into a single integrated airline reservation and travel SaaS platform. Its two key services, Airline Reservations and Departure Control, helped HP clients board more than 500 million passengers in the past year. The new HP Airline Service Oriented Architecture Platform provides airlines with a modern application-development Platform as a Service (PaaS) to drive rapid development of revenue-generating airline products.
HP Enterprise Cloud Services - Virtual Private Cloud, an IaaS platform, is delivered from secure and energy-efficient next-generation data centers equipped with HPConverged Infrastructure technology. Leveraging HP's enterprise-grade cloud computing offering on a per-server basis, airlines are able to scale quickly to meet the needs of the business, reducing capital and operational expenses.
Building hybrid cloud environments
HP extended the "cloud bursting" capabilities of HP CloudSystem to deliver instant access to additional capacity through HP Cloud Services, Amazon Web Services and Savvis. A core element of the HP Converged Cloud portfolio, HP CloudSystem provides a complete, integrated and open platform that enables enterprises and service providers to build and manage services across private, managed and public cloud environments.
HP CloudSystem Matrix software enables organizations to reduce cloud deployments from several weeks to one day when building a complete IaaS implementation for virtualized environments. Easily downloaded software runs on all industry-standard servers supported by VMware and Microsoft® Hyper-V, including HP ProLiant servers.
A new version of HP Cloud Service Automation extends HP's unified solution for brokering and managing application and infrastructure services on HP CloudSystem-based solutions or third-party environments. Clients can increase IT agility and reduce costs via a self-service portal and highly automated service life-cycle management.
The company also bolstered its solutions and partner programs for communications managed service providers delivering cloud services to their business customers with new versions of HP CloudSystem Service Provider and new members of the HP CloudAgile Service Provider program.
New HP Cloud Planning Services help clients determine their hybrid delivery options and expedite the planning and analysis phases of cloud deployments. HP Datacenter Care offers clients customized support relationship through a single point of contact to deploy, help operate and evolve client data centers as they move from traditional data centers to a converged cloud model.
Managing the next generation of cloud applications
As clients adopt cloud environments, applications and business-process performance become intertwined, increasing complexity. HP Application Performance Management 9.2 for Converged Cloud helps clients manage across converged cloud environments, improving the performance management of cloud and mobile applications. Significant enhancements to HP Diagnostics, HP Real User Monitor and HP SiteScope allow close collaboration between operations and development teams, while providing extended mobile-monitoring capabilities for applications in cloud environments.
The updated versions of HP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) and HP Performance Center (PC) enable organizations to drive enterprise innovation through the continuous delivery of applications with new Lab Management Automation and Continuous Application Performance Delivery features. These new offerings help organizations break down IT silos so they can quickly deliver high-quality, innovative applications for hybrid and cloud environments.
Increasing office productivity with cloud print solution
HP's cloud printing solution for enterprises, HP ePrint Enterprise 2.0, enables easy, driverless printing from mobile devices to an existing fleet of network printers. Available from HP Printing and Personal Systems Managed Services, HP ePrint Enterprise 2.0 now offers integration with three additional pull-printing solutions, localization in 10 languages and visitor printing capabilities. Apps are available for Android, iPhone®, iPad® and BlackBerry mobile devices.
Closing the IT cloud expertise skills gap
Research shows that 60 percent of chief information officers believe that the IT expertise skills gap is hampering the ability to execute cloud strategies and solutions.(2) In an ongoing effort to close the gap, HP ExpertONE, the company's extensive training and certification program for IT professionals, introduced two new cloud certifications-the HP Accredited Technical Professional for the cloud administrator and the HP Accredited Solution Expert for the cloud integrator. These HP ExpertONE cloud certifications are instrumental in enabling enterprises to transform from product-centric IT to unified service-centric IT that is open, secure, agile and consistent across cloud and traditional IT services.

There's a lot of things we do to improve the performance of web and mobile applications. We use caching. We use compression. We offload security (SSL and TLS) to a proxy with greater compute capacity. We apply image optimization and minification to content. We do all that because performance is king. Failure to perform can be, for many businesses, equivalent to an outage with increased abandonment rates and angry customers taking to the Internet to express their extreme displeasure.

Adding public cloud resources to an existing application can be a daunting process. The tools that you currently use to manage the software and hardware outside the cloud aren't always the best tools to efficiently grow into the cloud. All of the major configuration management tools have cloud orchestration plugins that can be leveraged, but there are also cloud-native tools that can dramatically improve the efficiency of managing your application lifecycle.

Let's just nip the conflation of these terms in the bud, shall we?
"MIcro" is big these days. Both microservices and microsegmentation are having and will continue to have an impact on data center architecture, but not necessarily for the same reasons. There's a growing trend in which folks - particularly those with a network background - conflate the two and use them to mean the same thing.
They are not.
One is about the application. The other, the network. T...

Before becoming a developer, I was in the high school band. I played several brass instruments - including French horn and cornet - as well as keyboards in the jazz stage band. A musician and a nerd, what can I say? I even dabbled in writing music for the band. Okay, mostly I wrote arrangements of pop music, so the band could keep the crowd entertained during Friday night football games. What struck me then was that, to write parts for all the instruments - brass, woodwind, percussion, even k...

Right off the bat, Newman advises that we should "think of microservices as a specific approach for SOA in the same way that XP or Scrum are specific approaches for Agile Software development". These analogies are very interesting because my expectation was that microservices is a pattern. So I might infer that microservices is a set of process techniques as opposed to an architectural approach. Yet in the book, Newman clearly includes some elements of concept model and architecture as well as p...

This is a no-hype, pragmatic post about why I think you should consider architecting your next project the way SOA and/or microservices suggest. No matter if it's a greenfield approach or if you're in dire need of refactoring. Please note: considering still keeps open the option of not taking that approach. After reading this, you will have a better idea about whether building multiple small components instead of a single, large component makes sense for your project. This post assumes that you...

Sharding has become a popular means of achieving scalability in application architectures in which read/write data separation is not only possible, but desirable to achieve new heights of concurrency. The premise is that by splitting up read and write duties, it is possible to get better overall performance at the cost of a slight delay in consistency. That is, it takes a bit of time to replicate changes initiated by a "write" to the read-only master database. It's eventually consistent, and it'...

Shark Attacks Man Off Hallandale Beach in Waist-Deep Water
A 26-year-old man was swimming in the waters of Hallandale Beach in the 1900 block of Ocean Drive on Sunday afternoon when a shark decided he'd like to have a taste of the man's foot.
The man, whose name is not being released, was wading around in waist-deep water, according to Hallandale Beach city management spokesman Peter Dobens.
While it's unknown what kind of shark it was, according to the wound and the victim himself, it was most definitely a shark.
"The lifeguards couldn't determine what kind of shark it was," Dobens tells New Times. "But they definitely saw a shadow in the water."

As ever, it's a good thing humans aren't too delicious.
As soon as the man felt the shark clamp down on his foot, he thrashed his leg until it let go and swam off. The victim then walked toward the shore waving his arms at the lifeguards nearby, who came running toward him.
After seeing the bloody foot, Dobens says, the lifeguards immediately knew it was indeed a shark bite.
According to Dobens' description, there was a clear half-moon bite mark on the man's foot.
Dobens says the victim had a "good-sized bite" and was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, where his foot was treated for deep lacerations. The man was released soon after and is expected to make a full recovery.
Medical privacy doesn't allow the city to give out the victim's name.
While shark attacks aren't rare in South Florida, this is the first time there's been one in Hallandale Beach in the three years Dobens has worked for the city.
Just this past June, a 22-year-old woman was attacked by a shark in the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale beach (NSFW image).
She was also bitten briefly and released.
So maybe it's time to just stick to the pool for the remainder of the summer.
Just kidding. Not all sharks are bad.
Some give people rides, while others are going to help us predict hurricanes.
So it's not all bad.

Destiny Island based on 0 ratings. 3 reviews.
I would have given this book 3 and a half stars but you can't do that on Barnes and Noble. I gave it four to give the author the benefit of the doubt. I feel it is undeserving of three stars. I finished this book and it's pretty ho-hum as far as novels go. Tim is a solid writer but I never fell in love with any of his characters. The only one I really liked was Jerry. This isn't any fault of the author's I don't think...it just has to do with the story he is telling. It involves really shallow college kids who are not fazed by much, are oversexed, and really seeing their friends die doesn't cause them any grief at all. They just shrug and say, "glad it's not me". I thought the zombies could have been scarier, but really, the zombies weren't the monster. The shaman was the monster. And he seemed a little on the hokey side...like not frightening at all, especially since Jerry pretty much kung-fu's it a bunch of times. I did like the setting. I thought the island worked really well. It made me long for tranquil beaches by the waves. There's lots of eating and laying around and talking and reading to find out what's going on in this book. Like pages and pages of that. Oh and getting soaped up in the shower and then sex. Keep in mind that all of this "soaping" happens after they're friends all die in a horrific shipwreck. Everyone always seemed far too calm making breakfast, drinking coffee, and wanting to be on vacation. Honestly, I think I would have liked more monster mashing, more of a sense of dread. All the zombies do when they show up is knock a few doors down and go away. Then the college kids burn them up. The fight with the elemental seemed anti-climactic. But again, why should it be climactic? It's not his writing, just the story. Maybe the villain just wasn't strong enough or maybe the story didn't resonate with any fearful moments like I wanted. The scariest parts happened underwater and nothing really happened there either. I'm not sure I understand his epilogue. Is he leaving this open for another sequel? I think I'd be interested in reading one if only to see if there were some greater horror that he could unleash. Also I'd like to see what Jerry is up to. I really liked that character. There could be a little better editing, however, this is not from a major publisher so I don't fault him or the publisher on that. And for the record, we're not talking about misspellings. Just wrong word choice like "rode" instead of "rope". Easy enough to mistake and something a computer is likely not going to flag. Sure, this isn't Stephen King. But I don't care. I wasn't expecting Stephen King. For what it's worth, I will read more of Tim's books and I recommend this to anyone looking for a quick read in the horror genre with a lil "South Pacific" combined with AMC's "The Walking Dead".
A group of people are stranded on an island that was once a penal colony. If they are able to live long enough to escape the island they are forced to fight zombies, a pissed off shaman with a bad attitude and an elemental with nothing on its swirling little mind, but to kill every living thing on the island. Mr. Hanner is able to keep your attention throughout. For an ebook it is properly edited, both of which result in an enjoyable read.

INVENTOR I 97W UNITED STATES QF w eI WILLIAM 3'. reasons, OFMONTAGUE MASSACHUSETTS, Assrenon'ro I I FALLS COMPANY, or MILLERS rams, MASSACHUSETTS, A; ooRPoR'A'frIon 0 21.;
To'all whom it may concern: I
. Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. PARSONS,- a citizen of the-United States; residing at Montague, in the county of Franklin'and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Telescopic Wrenches, of which the following is'a specification. v I f This invention has for its chiefobje'ct to provide a wrench whereby a jack-screw locatedmore or less inaccessib'ly under a motor vehicle, may be operated by a'person standing beside the vehicle, and to provide a strong, simple and'du'rable wrench structure adapted to'be folded in compact form for storage in a tool-box, and to be quickly and convenientlyextend'ed and adapted for use. Of the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification,- r
Figure'l is a side elevation,' showing a wrench embodyingf'rny invention engaged with amember-of a-jack-screw, a portion of the wrench being broken away.
"Figure 1 is a side elevation of the portion not shown by Figure 1.
Figure 2 is aside viewshowingthewrench folded. 3 i
Figure 3 shows the wrench on a larger scale, and a portion of a j ack-screw. the inner member of the wrench and a portion of the outermember being shown in section.

The same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of the figures. 4
' The wrench includes an elongated tubular inner member 12, havingapolygonal wrench r socket 13, at one "end, preferably of hex agonal form, andladapted to receive and rotate a hexagonal member' l l, projecting from a jackscrew, the'm'ember l l being an element of mechanism which raises and lowers the screw-threaded member 15 of the jack screw when the member 14; is rotated-in a bearing :16. Thesocket 13 is formed in an inner collar or sleeve 13% which isinternally threaded and s'crewedon to the inner end ofthe member 12, the latter being'preferablya length of tubing The outer end of the member 12'h'as' a polygonal bore portion 17, preferably hexagonal; and formed in an outer TE L EsoorIc wnnnorr."

The'detent 21-is;adapt'- ed normally to engage anannuIar shoulder; 23; formed a by" one fledge of a peripheral groove in the jack member 14;" Ilhe detent 22is adapted-normally 'toengageja shoulder 24; formedby oneendjof a recess"in:the outerwrench member 19. Said detents are manu-z ally displaceable, and each includes -a l'onger i and ashorter arm: and. a connecting-neck,
the shorter arm constituting thelacting-pon" tion of the detent, as shown by Fi'gure's'et. and 5. The longer arm of the detent 21' slides in a guide 25, in'one' side of the'center of the sleeve 13, and projects fromfisaidj guide so that it mayreceive.displacing 'pres sure fronisthe operatorvsifinger. The-longer arm of the detent 22 slides in a guide 26, in one side of the sleeve 17 and is also adapted to receive displacing pressure from a finger. Each detent is controlled by a spring 27.
The stop enlargement 19 is freely movable in the tube 12, and is adapted to enter the inner end of the tube before the inner sleeve 13" is applied; When the inner sleeve is ap plied, the stop enlargement is confined against withdrawal from either end of the inner member formed by. the tube 12 and the sleeves 13 and 17 Provision is therefore made for conveniently assembling the inner and outer members, and limiting the movement of the outer member in each direction.
The outer end of the outer member 19 is provided with a transverse socket 28,- preferably formed in a sleeve or collar 29, attached, as by a pin 30, to the member 19. 31 represents a handle-bar adapted to slide endwise in said socket, and occupy an operative position presenting two grip portions projecting from opposite sides of the member 19, as shown by Figures 1" and 8, and to be moved to an inoperative position at one side of the member 19. The handle-bar is provided with means permitting it to be folded beside the wrench,
as shown by Figure 2, without being disconnected from the member 19. To this end I preferably provide one .end of the handle-bar with a reduced and curved extension 32, adapted to slide loosely in the socket 28, and permit the described folding of the bar. The extension is provided with a stop enlargement 33, adapted to abut against one side of the collar 29, and prevent the withdrawal of the extension from the socket 28. i
The handle-bar 31 is provided centrally with a peripheral groove having a bevelled end '34 and a flat end 35. In a socket in the outer wrench member 19. is a detent 36, which is pressed by a spring 37 into said groove, and normally confines the handle-bar in its operative position. Thebevelled'end 34 causes the detent to yield when thehandle-bar is forcedendwise toward its inoperative'position. The fiat end 35 is so formed that the bar cannot be: moved 'endwisein the opposite direction. The handle-bar is therefore adapted to be conveniently disengaged from the detent, and displaced in one direction and folded, and isnot displaceable'in the opposite direction tion.-
I claim: 1; A telescopic wrench comprising an from its operative posielongated-inner member composed of a tube,
and .an innerand an outer sleeve, each'sleevehaving an enlarged bore portion receiving an end of'the'tube, and a polygonal bore portion of smaller diameter projecting from the sleeve, the polygonal bore portionof the inner" sleeve constituting a wrenchsocket,
mimosa sleeve to'longitudinally extend and contract the wrench, the outer member being provided at its inner end with a stop enlargement,
movable freely in thetube portion of the inner member, and adapted to abut against a shoulder on the said outer sleeve, to limit the elongation of the wrench, said stop -enlargem'ent being insertible in the tube portion of the 'inner'member before the application of the inner sleeve, and prevented from withdrawal from said tube portion when the inner sleeve is applied. 1 I 1 2. A telescopic wrench substantially as; specified by claim 1, the sleeves of the said inner member'being provided with springpressed detents, one adapted normally to en gage a part engaged by the said wrenoh socket, and the other to engage the outer member when the wrench is extended, so that, when the wrench is in use, its socket is interlocked with said part, and the outer member is interlocked with the inner member, each of said detents including a longer and a shorter arm, and a 'connectingneck, the "shorter arm constituting the acting portion of the detent, andthelongerarm being movable in a guide atone side of the Ion-- gitudinal center of the sleeve by which it is carried, and projecting from said sleeve to receive displacing pressure, the arrange-c mcnt bein'gsuch that inward pressure on the projecting portion of the longer arm" outwardly displaces the shorte r arm. 3.

Cat Royal bounces onto the stage of our imaginations full of wit, true humor, and sparkle. She is one of those unforgettable characters that you rarely meet, and she brings us along for big unforgettable adventures as well. Plenty of excitement, history, and laughter, this is a book you don't want to miss. Though not well known, I'm sure it will be in the future- this is one of those rare diamonds that you never find unless you look. If your looking for a gift, a new series for your child ages 10-14, this is a great one, it may even get them interested in reading more. A different book, and not one of those fantasy knock offs that are lining the children's fiction shelves these days- this is the real thing, with a wonderful story to tell!

I can't give this book any fair review as English is not my first language and I'm not good reviewing. However, this book had me from start to finish, a truly engaging and fantastic book which should be read if you like similar books.
Oh well, just read it and write a better review. :-)
Unfortunately, for me.. I was very misguided in the fact that this book was in the YA section and not the Middle Grade section. The book is very MG and quite predictable, as well as NOT that much of a mystery. There were parts I liked and enjoyed and the characters are great but honestly it was just a giant book of subliminal lesson teaching to 8-12 year olds.
My other complaint is that the book is a BIG book that dragged out, by page 150 I was only JUST beginning to learn the plot. I rarely complain that a book is too long, usually the opposite is said. However, someone should have heavily edited The Diamon of Drury Lane, the story and atomosphere could have easily been told is less than 200 pages. In fact, I have seen many books, with far more substance do just that.
With that being said... The Diamond of Drury Lane is not a bad book, it is just not a book that should be in the YA section. The right age group would most likely enjoy this book and series. It just wasn't my cup of tea.
If you've been reading my reviews for long, you'll notice a pattern of me falling in love with girls who are smart, strong, and smart-alecky with a twist. Catherine Royal is all of the above and more! This is the second book in a row I've read that involves the main character living in a theater, which I found to be really interesting as I rarely have some of the same characteristics in books by two different authors - hope that made sense. (The other is Eyes Like Stars).
Cat is an orphan who doesn't know who her parents were, but Mr. Sheridan has been her guardian of sorts since she was left on the steps of the theater. She's grown up around the raucous gangs of Covent Garden, knows which areas of London she should avoid at all costs, knows everyone and everything that goes on in the theater, and has a heart of gold that gets her into some serious hot water.
Her troubles start when she overhears Mr. Sheridan talking about the diamond that is hidden in the theater. She promises to keep the secret, and she does so quite well until Pedro shows up. Accidentally divulging the secret to him, she wonders if she can trust him when she finds him looking for the diamond. Add in the new stage prompter who is more than he seems, a bully with ethics and a bully that would be better off in Newgate (prison for those of you that don't know), and you've got yourself one rip-roaring story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.
I also absolutely adore how this novel was designed. You have a lovely listing of the cast of characters at the beginning of the story, as well as a map of London and a word of warning from Cat herself (as she is the narrator telling us the story) saying that, "This is not the world of the drawing room and country estate...If you want to survive in my neighborhood, you have to be prepared to use coarse language that packs a verbal punch." Now, before you get upset about the language, it's the common language of London in the 1790s. It's very different from today's brand of bad language. There is also a list of the slang used in the book at the back which can be quite helpful. Generally speaking the reader will get the gist of what is being said, but sometimes a quick check confirming your thoughts will make you laugh a little louder.
Can you stand one more glowing bit about the design of the book? It's divided up as a play, with 5 acts, each having 3 - 4 scenes. The beginning of each act has a map of a more detailed location in London, and a quip from Cat about what is going to be happening. Theater lovers take heart! This has enough drama that you'll want to stage this one as a play yourselves!
Notes on the Cover:
Cat peeking out of the curtains at the theater. The girl on the cover is pretty close to how I imagine her, and I like the theater curtains and the feel that she is lurking. Cat does do her fair share of hiding, but it's generally just because she's in the wrong place at the wrong time. She really never intends to go looking for trouble - it is somehow attracted to her.
The 2 page glossary at the back gives young readers insight into the slang of England without being intimidating. A great read aloud for 5th or 6th graders that gives you the opportunity to branch off into historical events from the 1700s.
