Olive: overbearing but insightful
April 9 2012
This review is from:
Olive Kitteridge (Paperback)
Olive Kitteridge, a retired teacher, is not a likeable woman by average standards. She is strong, obstinate, resolute, set in her views. Married to an infinitely patient husband, they love each other in an almost contradictory way, unyielding and at the same time sort of shattered. They have a son who is oppressed by her solicitude and, when she used to teach, all of her pupils were scared of her.
Yet Olive is capable of a gentleness that is surprising in a woman who is always-right. She can touch lives with a heart that proves to be extremely kind, and although she is always, always brutally honest with herself and others, the advancing old age is making her see things under a different perspective.
This is a well written novel, moving at times, funny too in certain parts. It is mainly, in my opinion, an exploration of the human condition when getting older. I would not say this has become one of my favourite books (for no particular reason actually, it just did not "blow me away") but it is definitely a book that deserves a try.

A tribute to Love
April 9 2012
This review is from:
The Art of Hearing Heartbeats (Paperback)
Love with a capital `L'. Not a sappy novel though. No. This is a well-structured, finely written romance. It made me look up Kalaw (Burma) where most of the story is set, on the map. It made me close my eyes, in the attempt of almost identifying myself with the protagonists, following them through their walks. An invisible witness to their feelings, breaths, existences. Opening up to life. Falling in love.
A short synopsis and no spoilers: Julia Win, a young lawyer from upscale New York, starts looking for her father, Tim Win, of Burmese origin, a prominent lawyer himself, who disappeared without a trace four years before. A working appointment missed, the trail of his last steps going cold and colder. Now frozen. He is never seen again. His wife and children, including Julia, gradually resign themselves to his disappearance, not without some inner battles. The feeling of abandonment mixed with bitterness never leaves Julia. One day, she finds a very old letter written in the 1940s by his father to a certain Mi Mi in Burma. An address in Kalaw is all she needs to follow her instinct and hop on to a plane in search of her father. Will that old letter, folded and refolded several times, be the key to her father's disappearance? Once in Kalaw, she is approached by a gentle but strange man, U Ba, who seems to know her although they have never met before. He also drops hints that he knows of Tim Win's whereabouts. Surprised and confused, Julia starts listening to the unfolding of an incredible story. Is U Ba really talking about HER father, covering the first twenty years of his Burmese life that nobody, not even his American wife, ever learned about? What was going on here? But she did not travel so far for nothing and U Ba's words lead to a touching, moving journey that will change Julia forever.
Like I stated above, I do not intend to spoil the story with too many details. Suffice it to say that it spans from the 1950s up to nowadays and it will take you from upscale New York City to Kalaw, an impoverished location in Burma. The narrative flows beautifully, poetically. There may be several romantic clichés but they fit in perfectly, without blemishing or rendering the narrative banal or overly-sentimental. What is also interesting, is the accurate, vivid description of this remote place, Kalaw, its colours, sounds, scents. Most locals impregnated with superstitious beliefs which could definitely change someone's life for better or worse. A touch of magic realism (just a touch) reminiscent of Garcia Marquez's novels, fits in charmingly. Definitely 5 (or more!) Amazon stars.
The main theme explored is, of course, Love. Not just the filial one between father and daughter. True love between a man and a woman. How it fluoresces, changes and haunts whomever is touched by its wonderful spell. How, because of, and thanks to it, the human being is able to endure anything. Anything at all.

A tender love story, about humans and animals
Aug. 2 2011
This review is from:
Water For Elephants (Paperback)
I loved this book. A tender love story recounted by a nonagenarian in present time.
USA, 1930s. Jacob Jankowski had it all planned out: about to become a veterinarian, looking forward to join his father's practice, fate disrupts everything. Almost overnight, he is employed in a circus, the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth. Animals love him and he loves animals, but not only. He falls in love for the very first time in his life. But love, just like wild animals, can be dangerous if one is not too careful, and it slowly dawns on him that all the glittery world of a circus is not always what it seems...
The book is written in alternating chapters between present day and the past. The present day is represented touchingly, moving in a few parts, although the main character Jacob, now mostly sitting on a wheelchair with a few aches and pains, still has a sense of humour and a passion for life that is uplifting. He is now ninety. Or ninety-three.
The chapters about his past are absorbing and mesmerizing not only because of him falling in love for the first time with lovely Marlene, they also offer an engaging insight of circus life, the workers, the animals, and what is behind all those lights and delights. Very interesting.
So drum roll please. Let the show begin Ladies and Gentlemen. Sit back and be prepared for a few surprises, enjoy the show!
I'd Know You Anywhere: A Novel

No, I did not like this book much
July 26 2011
This review is from:
I'd Know You Anywhere: A Novel (Hardcover)
Not what I had expected from an author I usually like. A lukewarm book, I would not even call it a thriller but rather, a descriptive anatomy of the aftermath of a serious crime. A crime involving Elizabeth, kidnapped at 15 near her home and held captive for several weeks by a young man, Walter Bowman. Bowman, later found, tried and sent to death in Virginia (capital punishment due to a different case, but I do not want to spoil the story) is now counting the days to his death, drawing closer.
He contacts Elizabeth after more than 20 years sitting on death row. Elizabeth, now happily married with children and just returned to the USA after a few years in London due to her husband's work, is disturbed by Walter's approach.
Inevitably, her inner world starts to collapse and thoughts of whatever happened so long ago start to resurface, darkening her mind and soul. Despite a supportive family, she is torn to the very core of her existance.
Why did I not like this book much? Because, mainly, I found it boring. It failed to engage me in full. Sorry. I found it overly descriptive and I did not warm to any of the main characters, not even Elizabeth, despite her sufferings, despite everything. In fact, I found her to be a bit annoying as well, almost too na�ve (I refer to her adult life) to the point of being exasperating, although I understand the author's intention to try to convey the dilemma, the sort of attachment -still there, after so many years- between captive and captor (and the same happened during her captivity).
There is also the moral, uncomfortable issue about capital punishment and in this respect, the author offers, through the characters, different opinions, which will definitely make the reader think.
The psychological side of the story, seen from different points of view (the story runs in parallels, shifting from past to present day), is the most interesting part of this book, in my opinion. Not bad at all, however it was repetitive, and precisely because it could, and should, have been more engaging, this aspect too turns out to be a bit of a disappointment. My true vote: 2.5 stars.

This review is from:
Secret Daughter (Paperback)
A full 5 stars from me and congratulations to the author Shilpi Somaya Gowda. I loved the comment by Mary Jane Clark (New York Times bestselling author) on the front cover as it perfectly summarizes my opinion: "It's moving and thought-provoking and informative and imaginative and beautifully executed. What a wonderful story!". It is indeed.
India, rural village, 1984. Kavita delivers a lovely daughter but she knows she is not expected to keep her as the whole family, especially her husband, want a boy. So in order to save the baby's life, she is forced to give her up. She will never forget her though, and this decision will forever haunt her. USA, 1984. Somer and husband Krishnan, both medical doctors, decide to adopt an Indian baby after several struggles and failures to have their own a baby. They both fall in love with the photo of the baby girl they are supposed to adopt and set out for the long journey to India to get to her.
The story is told by different perspectives and characters (in third person) in alternating chapters and it ends in almost-present day. It is a remarkable journey through two different cultures (Indian and American) and that baby girl is the indisputable connection to all protagonists. As she grows up, she questions her identity and things start to get more difficult for her adoptive parents.
When narrating about the Indian side of the family -Krishnan the adoptive father was born and raised in Mumbai, then moved to the USA due to his medical studies- the book reminds me of another one I read not too long ago, "The Pleasure Seekers" by Tishani Doshi (which I also reviewed and recommend, although the main subject there is totally different). What I mean to say is, this new book, just like The Pleasure Seekers, made me feel curious about a culture I do not know enough about and would like to.
Other themes explored here are infertility, motherhood, fatherhood, loss and emptiness caused by many different factors. And love, above all.
I do not want to spoil the story by saying any more. It has to be read and savoured as it unfolds page after page. Lovely, lovely, lovely. With substance.
Set In Stone

Not bad
July 20 2011
This review is from:
Set In Stone (Paperback)
Meet the Graham family in Dublin. A solid, happy family of four, Lynda, Robert and their children Ciaràn and Katie, barely out of teen hood. A lovely house in the suburbs, good jobs to keep them going. Ciaràn is the only one that has some problems, he is rebellious and hostile most of the time, but who isn't when 19? Until he befriends Jon at the university, who has a great and positive impact on him. Jon himself comes from a desolate background and his parents do not care about him. For the time being, he is allowed to stay with the Grahams and they welcome him with open arms.
Jon's arrival coincides with a series of unpleasant episodes that influence and affect their balanced and safe life. Lynda seems the only one to have a sort of "puzzled" vibe about Jon, despite his being so nicely behaved at all times, almost to good to be true, although she is too distracted by the escalating unpleasant events to dwell on her feeling, until she shakes it off for good.
What is happening in their ordinary, uncomplicated life is shaking everybody's ground. Lynda is convinced it is something from the Past looming to haunt them all. Could she possibly be right? Her trusting husband Robert at first disregards Lynda's comments. But as the events take more serious turns each time, he is forced to face the truth. Something set in stone and never forgotten is back again.
In my opinion, definitely a beach read, quite a page turner in that "page-turning" way books without much substance but with a fairly good plots have. Not a thriller at such, and quite easy to discern a pattern from the beginning that only the protagonists did not see, until it hits them in the face. So to speak.
My true vote: 3.5 stars.

About infertility and adoption
July 17 2011
This review is from:
When You Least Expect It: A Novel (Paperback)
India and Jeremy are a happily married thirty-something couple living in West Palm Beach, in a cozy, welcoming cottage. They both have careers they love and their life seems perfect, except for the baby that never comes. Several expensive infertility treatments fail one after the other and finally, also due to the financial strain they are under -those treatments are very expensive-, they decide to adopt a baby with the last remnants of their money.
And adoption agency matches them up with Lainey, a young lady with dreams of stardom and a lazy boyfriend who gets her pregnant. She is not ready to be a mother, her boyfriend is not ready to be a father and despite the initial decision to terminate her pregnancy, she carries on with it, with the intention of having the baby adopted afterwards. The pregnancy is viewed just like an accident that, once over, will not disrupt her plans of stardom. In the meantime, she finds herself homeless all of a sudden and even her own mother is unable, or unwilling, to offer any kind of support. India offers an unusual solution to this particular problem.
The life of all main characters are, from now on, indisputably connected. Everything seems to proceed awkwardly at first, then things get a bit easier. But everyone underestimates the changes a baby can bring.
This book offer, in my opinion, a fairly good introspective at the desperation some people have to go through when unable to conceive and it also shows just how strong, tenacious and unbreakable the love of any parent is, especially a mother, adoptive or biological.
Each chapter is written, or viewed, alternatively by each main character, India, Jeremy, Lainey. A minor disappointment was, if I may, the conclusion which I saw coming from the first chapters.
My true vote: 3.5 stars.

Room (Hardcover)
Wow. A desolating, overwhelming story, strangely uplifting at the same time.
Meet 5-year-old Jack. He lives in Room with his Ma and no one else. All the rest is... Outer Space. Except for Old Nick who comes by almost every evening to stay with Ma while Jack is sleeping in Wardrobe. Jack and Ma do not like Old Nick, but there is nothing to be done about that...
Little Jack's voice is poignant, almost funny at times and we read the story through his eyes, words, innocence and love for his mother. Innocence and ignorance are what protect him from the evil of his living condition, although his mother does her best to raise him in an impossible-to-imagine situation. "Room" is the only reality he has ever known.
And then... page after page I was eager to know what could possible happen, if at all possible, to change that kind of life... The author was just great to convey certain feelings and emotions and oh, what a lovely character Jack is. And his Ma. Courageous, tenacious, desperate Ma.
Every object in Jack's world has a capital letter (Room, Table, Chair etc) conveying the sense of belonging, and even contentment, to such place; the capital letters are a writing technicality that add depth to the story. Jack is a wonderful narrator and the story will keep you glued to the pages. Extremely well done to the author.

Digging into the Burying Place

This review is from:
The Burying Place (Hardcover)
The author Brian Freeman reminds me more and more of Harlan Coben. Impossible not to compare the two writers, they have similarities that are hard to miss. Fast-paced, twisted story-lines, mostly entirely believable, that keep you glued to the pages. Tension and puzzlement building up from page 1.
The protagonists change but the main characters are still here. Lieutenant Jonathan Stride, still physically weak and emotionally depressed after the traumatic fall from a bridge (in "The Watcher"), his life partner Serena, struggling to understand his feelings, long-term colleague Maggie trying to help out. Their personal problems aside, they must deal with a puzzling case, the disappearance of a baby from her own home where no intruders seem to have broken into. And one after the other, women from different backgrounds start disappearing without trace. Two different cases that seem to have no connection but...
A great book for fans of fast-paced, intriguing mysteries.

Just great
June 30 2011
This review is from:
Alone in Berlin (Paperback)
I buy lots of books. Sometimes, unavoidably, I am disappointed by my choices. Other times, more often, I am not. And finally, very rarely, I am absolutely and utterly engrossed by the printed matter under my nose. This was one of those cases.
I was literally glued to the pages until the very end, and that means after the epilogue, when more surprising information was delivered. Such information is mentioned in some of the other reviews so this is not a spoiler: this book is based on a true story. Nobody will probably ever know to what extent the real mixes with fiction, but suffice it to say, it is a gripping book until the very last page in my opinion.
What I loved about it, is the quick-paced minutiae. To some it may seem like a slow trickle of details, emotions, feelings, not much "action" there, but I did not perceive it this way: the author rendered pain, bitterness, fear and love just so extremely well. Not too many crude descriptions, but fear, desperation and brutality rendered so vividly that sometimes I had to swallow twice from the tension. And scorn, irony, a sardonic smile enveloping certain atmospheres.
An unusual subject too, the German side of the story viewed by some simple, plain people who desperately try to rebel to the whole situation in their own way (including some seemingly inflexible hard-hearted uniforms). Many characters populate the scene, although the main story-line is dominated by Otto and Anna Quangel, husband and wife. Otto is certainly one of my favourite characters. Together with his wife Anna, they represent a solid, hard-working couple; in the beginning they did not even seem to be hostile to the National Socialists. But when their only child Ottochen is killed while fighting, their world turns upside-down. And their consciences start to backfire. An insuppressible desire to "do something" pervades their thoughts, starting with Otto, quiet, laborious Otto, later influencing his wife who turns out to be a great help and support for the scheme he has in mind: peppering Berlin with subversive postcards, inviting the population to rebel against the regime.
Otto's dignity, integrity and moral values never falter. He is the guiding hand to Anna, they work in unison and the postcards -and the moral value to them- becomes the center of their lives. They are so solitary and careful nobody would suspect them. But then... walking on thin ice, no matter how carefully, can be dangerous. In those days, it meant certain death. But Otto and Anna Quangel are prepared to face anything.
The author never lived long enough to see his book published (in 1947) as he died shortly after finishing it and it is also probable that details from his own life -he's described to have been quite an unstable person who went into rehab several times- are portrayed in this book befitting certain scenes. In any case, he produced this wonderful book in a very short time and it is sad that he was unable to enjoy the success it generated. I gather the English translation was done recently and that is perhaps why I hadn't heard of this book before. Better late than never, do read this book if you like the genre, it is highly recommendable.

Years ago, the milkman received the action from sexually starved housewives. But now, it's a poolman. Cal Jammer maintains pools and entertains his female clients at the same time in this cute sexvid. Unfortunately, most of the erotic scenes are average in intensity, with no memorable segments. However, Jacqueline, quickly becoming a master of tease, turns in a scalding performance. The sets, production values and performances (except for Jacqueline) are all average in Friday Night Fever.

Wow. There is quite a bit of talent in St. Augustine ... so many musicians performing all around town. And many are recording their music and putting it on the web for all of us to hear.
Compass will soon begin holding small CD releases and mini-concerts in the St. Augustine Record building, corner of State Roads 312 and 207.
While I figure out the logistics, please let me know if you or your band are interested. Email email@example.com.

I have three children — ages 8, 6 and nine months — therefore it's imperative for me to find the best kid-friendly events in St. Johns County each week.
I recently signed up for a weekly e-mail newsletter of local children's events, prepared by a local mom. It's called Macaroni Kid St. Augustine, part of Macaroni Kid, Inc., based in New York.
To subscribe, e-mail email@example.com. The list has events such as Living History Days at Fort Matanzas to Home Depot Kids' Workshops, recipes, contests and more.

I have an innocent crush on a historical figure that seems to be showing up all over town these days. Have you seen him?
His name is Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles and he's the founder of St. Augustine. Menendez is portrayed by Chad Light, a local gentleman employed by The Fountain of Youth archeological park.
He's always in character no matter where he goes — at the 446th cake ceremony last Thursday in the Plaza de la Constitucion, or shopping at Target on Friday — and always in his elaborate costume.

"Pull up to the hotel and drug testers waiting," he wrote on June 22, while previewing courses in Europe in anticipation of last month's Tour de France. "Two agencies as well! AFLD and the UCI. Nice communication guys."

Veteran upset his U.S. Army cap made overseas
PHOENIX - You'd think if you're buying something like a hat or a t-shirt from the United States military the product would be made here in the USA.
But that's not always the case.
That's what Retired Army Officer Peter Hollister found when he ordered a hat from the Army & Air Force Exchange website .
"There is a section of the website for retired military gear, and sure enough this cap was in that," said Hollister.
The Exchange is a store where military members and their families can buy lower priced, tax-free items.
He got exactly what he ordered, except for one thing.
"It was made in China," said Hollister.
Yep. A U.S. Army cap, purchased on a U.S. Army website, made nowhere near the U.S.
"That's what bothered me the most: I wasn't buying it at some knock off place, I paid $29.95 for it," said Hollister.
Not to mention he thought the armed forces had a rule against using clothing made in other countries.
It does. The policy is called the Berry Amendment , and it has a lot of exceptions.
The law generally applies to Department of Defense funded soldier uniforms, food and supplies, not Exchange items.

TSMC Rises Most in Three Years on Forecast for Record Chip Sales
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. climbed the most in three years in Taipei after forecasting record revenue and spending on demand for chips used in mobile devices.
The chipmaker gained as much as 6.9 percent, the biggest jump since April 2009, to NT$89.80, before trading at NT$87.80 as of 10:14 a.m. in Taipei. There shares were headed for the highest close since listing in 1994. The benchmark Taiex index fell 0.3 percent
TSMC, whose clients include Qualcomm Inc. and Broadcom Corp., forecast second-quarter sales of NT$126 billion ($4.3 billion) to NT$128 billion, surpassing the NT$118 billion average of analyst estimates, amid rising orders for its most-advanced technology. That demand prompted Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Morris Chang to raise his spending plan as much as 42 percent to as high as $8.5 billion to boost capacity.
"TSMC will accelerate market-share gains by its broader technology and effective capacity gap for 28 nanometer and beyond," said Ricky Liu, an analyst at KGI Securities. Liu estimates TSMC may expand its foundry market share to 52 percent this year from 49 percent in 2011, and to 54 percent in 2013. He has an outperform rating on the stock with a 12-month target price of NT$95.
The chipmaker yesterday reported first-quarter net income of NT$33.5 billion, surpassing the NT$29.9 billion average of 16 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Gross margin and operating margin also exceeded estimates.
Higher spending will increase costs and reduce the company's gross margins this year, while allowing the company to boost sales and profitability from next year, Chief Financial Officer Lora Ho said yesterday.

PLUMERVILLE, Ark. — Three children died early Sunday morning when the car they were in drove straight into a man-made lake, authorities said. Arkansas State Police investigators and sheriff's deputies questioned the children's mother about what happened just after 3:30 a.m., when she apparently drove down an old state highway that dead-ends into Brewer Lake. Conway County Sheriff Mike Smith declined to immediately identify the children, ages 2, 7 and 8, or their 26-year-old mother.

Bill reversing $15 driver's license fee increase advances
Published: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 at 8:08 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 19, 2010 at 8:08 p.m.
BATON ROUGE — Despite opposition from Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration, lawmakers continue to advance a bill to reverse a $15 boost in the cost of a state driver's license.
Already approved by the Senate, the measure received the backing Wednesday of the House Transportation Committee without objection. Senate Bill 407 by Sen. Joe McPherson, D-Woodworth, is expected to head to a House money committee before it can reach the House floor.
Jindal wants the $13.6 million expected to be raised by the license hike next year to help cover costs for the state police.
Lawmakers were caught unaware when the Department of Public Safety ordered the increase more than two months ago, and many lawmakers said they should have to approve any price hike, arguing the department raised the cost through a loophole in the law.
A new or renewed basic license now costs $36.50 for four years, up from $21.50.
Opponents have argued passage of McPherson's bill would harm funding that will pay for the Louisiana State Police, the Office of Motor Vehicles and other agencies in the Department of Public Safety.
Col. Mike Edmonson, head of the public safety department, said the price hike pays for a federal mandate requiring the state to participate in a national driver's license registry.

Lack of UPMC-Highmark contract concerns many
Highmark's and UPMC's failure to extend UPMC Hamot's provider contract with the Pittsburgh-based health insurer is frustrating local patients, physicians, employers and insurance agents.
Hamot's current contract with Highmark ends Dec. 31. If an extension is not reached, those with Highmark insurance will not have access to Hamot or its physicians, except for emergency care, starting in 2015.
"This has really shaken up the marketplace," said Jeff Evans Jr., of Employee Benefits Resources, 4740 Peach St. "We are all really worried that this will cause a lot of disruption."
It's the latest skirmish in a battle between two health-care giants that started in 2011 when Highmark announced it was buying the West Penn Allegheny Health System. Highmark later bought Saint Vincent Hospital and created the Allegheny Health Network, an integrated delivery system.
UPMC officials have said they would not negotiate a new provider's contract with Highmark because they viewed its Allegheny Health Network as a competitor. But in July, UPMC board members told Highmark they were interested in extending Hamot's contract, but not the contracts of its hospitals in Allegheny County.
Hamot President James Fiorenzo said the two sides discussed a contract through late October, providing copies of e-mails that suggest at least one high-ranking Highmark official expected Hamot's contract would be extended past 2014.
Highmark spokesman Aaron Billger said negotiations consisted only of UPMC proposing a nearly 50 percent increase in Hamot's reimbursement. He also said Highmark officials who wrote e-mails about reaching a contract with Hamot meant that it would be reached as part of a provider's contract with all UPMC hospitals.
"Our position hasn't changed," Billger said. "A systemwide contract with UPMC is in the best interest of the entire community. The problem with a stand-alone contract is that it raises a lot of continuity-of-care issues. What would happen if Hamot needs to transfer a patient to another UPMC hospital? Is it out of network?"
No negotiations involving Hamot are scheduled between Highmark and UPMC, said Billger and Fiorenzo.
Though Hamot's current contract runs through the end of 2014, time is already limited for employers whose insurance contracts renew in July, with negotiations expected to begin in April.
Some of these employers and insurance agents say they feel they have been misled by Highmark representatives, Evans said.
"We were being told -- even up to the end of 2013 and into 2014 -- that Hamot would be an exception to the whole dispute," Evans said. "There were a lot of employers who renewed with Highmark for Jan. 1 on the belief that Hamot would be an exception."
Billger said he couldn't explain what Highmark representatives told Evans, only that Highmark's message has been consistent for more than two years about seeking a contract with all UPMC hospitals.
If a contract extension is not soon reached, Hamot will begin "educating" its patients through the media and direct mail about how they can continue to be treated at the hospital and by its physicians, Fiorenzo said.
"We will begin offering information about alternative choices," Fiorenzo said. "Access to Hamot would be through other insurances we accept, including UPMC Health Plan."
Highmark hopes the state legislature will help force the two sides to reach an agreement, Billger said.
Two bills currently in a state House committee would require integrated delivery systems like UPMC and Allegheny Health Network to contract with any willing health insurer.
A number of constituents with Highmark insurance have complained to state Rep. Curt Sonney, R-4th Dist., of Harborcreek Township, about the possibility of losing access to Hamot.
"Obviously having these bills is a tremendous amount of pressure on Highmark and UPMC to reach some sort of deal, even though the bills haven't run yet," said Sonney, a co-sponsor of both bills. "It's hard to determine if these bills will become law. I think the closer we get to the end of the year, the more likely these bills will become law."

Physics for Programmers
1. An object in motion tends to stay in motion
There is no such thing as a temporary program.
2. Two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same time
You cannot do testing or development in a production database.
3. If an object has more mass than another, more force is required to give it the same acceleration as the other
Debugging time increases as a square of the program's size.

Finding Solace in Solus LinuxThere are so many reasons why you might want to try a new distribution. For all intents and purposes, the desktop has very few jobs when it comes to the "average" user.

Metronomics HD Metronome
By John Nastos
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
Meet Metronomics HD, the full-featured practice suite big brother of the popular iPhone metronome Metronomics -- the perfect practice tool for beginners, to seasoned professionals needing the most complex rhythmic options.
The Metronomics apps are the only metronomes that give you complete control over how subdivisions are played -- use custom subdivisions (such as 5/7), custom samples, preset patterns, random intervals, sequenced grooves, silent measures, or anything else you can think of to help drive your practice routine.
Metronomics HD not only features a beautiful innovative interface optimized for the larger screens, but also a new set of features, including the "Inspector" mode. When activated, the Metronomics Inspector listens to and records your playing (either from a microphone or via MIDI input from the camera connection kit) an graphs it next to the metronome output, showing you how in time you are compared to the metronome. It will also analyze your playing and attempt show you how far away you were from the beat (measurements are precise when using MIDI input and based on audio analysis when using the microphone). With this feature, Metronomics HD moves beyond the normal one-dimensional metronome and becomes an even more useful practice tool, with interactive feedback on your playing. You can also choose to play back or export your practice session to listen back to what you played while watching the visual analysis from Metronomics.
Whether in Inspector mode or not, you have access to over 40 different samples for each subdivision, plus the ability to import your own WAV files to use as custom sample sounds. Use any of these samples for any type of subdivision, including common types like quarter notes or eighth note triplets, sequenced grooves like claves or ride cymbal patterns, or a "custom subdivision," such as 7/5 or 25/4. Then, save your preferences and have everything synced over iCloud, allowing you to stay in sync with Metronomics HD on OSX if you also practice with your Mac.
- Generate patterns using random or sequenced variations of different subdivisions
- Include preset patterns such as claves (including odd-meter claves)
- Choose any number of beats per measure for your time signature, including mixed meters such as (4 + 3 + 5), where the segments of the bar get accented automatically
- Choose from 40 different included samples, or import your own WAV files
- Use any type of subdivision, including custom numbers (5/7, 13/4, etc)
- Move rhythms to unusual parts of the measure with the "offset feature" -- think quarter note triplets, starting on an offbeat
- Sync your saved metronomes and presets between the iOS and OSX versions of Metronomics HD using iCloud
- Email saved metronomes back and forth with other Metronomics users
- "Inspector" feature graphs your playing alongside the Metronome, using microphone or MIDI input
- Play back or export your playing with the metronome
- Swing feel, with customizable swing amounts
- Metronome stays playing while in the background
- Use iOS multitasking remote to control playback

What's New in Version 1.4
- Updated for iOS 8
- New average peak measurement in the Inspector
- Bug fixes

Customer Reviews
Great metronome app
Metronomics HD and Metronomics are excellent. The swing time feature allows much more versatile timing work than other metronomes. I'm just starting to use the HD features which should allow precise practice of leading and lagging the beat. Worth the money!
Still the One.
I'm kind of obsessed with metronomes & drum machines. While there are several really great apps, Metronomics and Metronomics HD are my go-to metronomes for LEARNING.
For range and flexibility, Metronomics HD is untouchable. Set the tempo from 1-600 BPM, set the length from 1-1000 beats per measure! Any number of notes per any number of beats (!!), any offset, use your own sounds. Have the metronome be on for x measures and silent for y measures. This thing is freakishly deep.
Metronomics doesn't do changing meters or tempos, nor does it link patterns together. But within one pattern, you can do so much. Though it has some limitations, its capabilities are both expansive and very practical.
As a learning tool, it is fantastic. As a drum machine, it does things others can't touch. It has expanded my rhythmic world. A very well-designed and well-thought-out app.

Unless you own them. The financials are making a killing both ways with all the money they are receiving from the printing press. They go long their own stocks and short other sectors like home builders and make money both ways. Obama's continued rhetoric regarding the change for the little guy. He will continue to send our kids to Afghanistan so their weapons can be stolen or given to the Taliban so they then can kill our young Americans. The leaders of the country are insane. Money and power have become so important that it does not matter who they hurt. Very sad state of affairs..

Best Levels to Boost Gold Medals
1) Level 12 - First Elephant - Zimbabwe
Objective: Kill 1 Elephant
- Best thing to do here is start off by going straight ahead towards the hilltop spot. After that start heading slightly left towards the pond in front of you. Just on the other side of the pond will be an elephant. Go to edge of pond and take him out (depending on what you need, ie: spine, heart, hold breath, etc.; please note that only .350 caliber and above can be used hunting elephants and the max scope for .350 caliber and above is 6x). Now after you killed the first elephant do not claim the trophy, immediately walk and aim to the right, there will be another elephant. Kill him and claim trophy. 2 kills towards your medals in just under 2 minutes. Rinse and repeat.
- For blood stains, I used the same level and killed the first elephant the same; however, on the second one, I made sure I hit him outside of the vitals. This would cause him to charge. It's ok if he hits you. It will start you back at the beginning, go back to the second elephant and hit him again but not in the vitals. This time he will take off heading towards where you killed the first elephant. Now just follow him and press A to investigate and pick up the blood trail. Can get about 3-4 blood stains per playthrough.
2) Level 1 - Rocky Mountain Goat -
Objective: Kill 2 Mountain Goats
- Use this level for scope medals 10x and 20x (I believe I used the 3rd rifle).
- start off going straight down the hill and up towards the hill spot. Right at the hill spot zoom in, there will be 3 Mountain Goats. I managed to hit 2 sometimes in this area. However, if you do manage to hit 2, only claim one and continue to follow the herd. Keep going straight after you claim the trophy. In the next section around the rock, look to your right, the herd will be there to the right of the pond. Depending on how many kills you had in the first section, there will be 1 or 2 mountain goats. Get your kill(s) and claim trophy. Takes roughly 3 minutes. Rinse and repeat.
Any questions message me on Live.

Books aren't dead at university libraries
Tom Smart, Deseret News
When millions of books could be stored on a computer hard drive, it might seem a bit odd for universities to build and renovate huge campus libraries. The J. Willard Marriott Library at the University of Utah, was recently renovated to the tune of $78 million, for instance. But take a stroll into the U.'s library — or any university library for that matter — and it might be ten minutes before you see a student with a book.
To understand why so much money is being poured into the modern university library (the U.'s library costs more than $18 million a year to run), you have to expand your concept of a library beyond print.
This isn't to say the modern university library doesn't have books. They do. But the way students use a library goes beyond books to include e-books, research databases, classes, studying and socializing.
Last week, William H. Ellison was sitting in the U.'s library with some friends in a hotel-lobby-like nook. Ellison, a junior from Salt Lake City studying biology, says he likes to use the library to study — which includes study groups, working in the computer lab and so forth. "It's a great place to study, a quiet place."
Ellison has taken a class in digital photography at the library. He likes its restaurant, particularly their BBQ sandwich.
But Ellison's favorite use of the library has little to do with studying.
"Sleep would be one reason I come to the library. For sure, a lot of sleep is done in here," Ellison said. "I just try to survive class and then come here and catch up on my sleep."
Looking around the library, there are indeed a few students napping here and there — sprawled out on bed-like benches or head down on a desk. But most students seem absorbed in their laptop computers — accessing the library's databases of information, research journals and the like.
"Probably the most significant single development that has changed the way people are using libraries, is the fact that information has moved off the page and onto the network," says Rick Anderson, associate director for scholarly resources and collections at the U.'s library.
There is also a lot of group studying. Students study together in study rooms (some rooms are even equipped with computer projectors). They study around tables. They gather around large whiteboards.
And yes, there are even a few students with print books.
Ellison, for example, says he has checked out books from the library — "Less than ten. More than five."
Anderson explains that people will still read a printed book when they want to read something long, "But when they want to find out a piece of information, they are very unlikely to pick up a printed book." To find articles, gather citations or to verify facts, students are more likely to use electronic resources and databases.
Joyce L. Ogburn, dean of the U.'s library and vice president/president elect of the Association of College and University Research Libraries is bullish on books — both electronic and traditional print: "People have different ways with how they work best with information."
Michael Freeman, library director at Utah Valley University, would agree. He says some students prefer print, some prefer an e-book. "It depends on the student," Freeman says. "We see requests for both — and we have both."

After judging the rotational depth in the DoU preview series, there is a general sense that the Brewers' rotation is much improved for 2014. Matt Garza strengthens the club's rotation by solidifying their top rotation depth, which in turn eases up the back end of… [More]
Resource: Fun with FIP, 2011-2013
By Nicholas Zettel on March 18, 2014
One of the issues with Wins Above Replacement (WAR) statistics is that they are typically calculated with statistics that are removed from actual runs scored and allowed. This is especially true with pitching WAR in many cases, which are based around pitchers' Fielding Independent Pitching… [More]

Brewers No Longer Have Protected Pick In 2014
By J.P. Breen on October 1, 2013
As the Brewers fell out of postseason contention extraordinarily early, much of the attention turned to young players on the roster. The second half of the season morphed into a big-league audition for guys like Scooter Gennett, Khris Davis, Tyler Thornburg and Johnny Hellweg. While some… [More]

One of my areas of human rights work has been in the area of violence/non-violence negotiations. For example, for many years I was comissioned by the Arizona, USA court systems to work with incarcerated violent women. Here are a few things I learned:
- Like everyone, they each just wanted to be unconditionally loved and listened to;
- Each one wanted to be validated as a worthwhile individual;
- Violence is a learned behavior-so is peace;
- You can't save someone who doesn't want to be saved (there were a few who like to hold on to violence and the unstable sense of power it brought to them.) When given tools for a more peaceful life, most women will practice them. Seems to create more smiles. Guilt sucks.
Lately, in another area I enjoy, I founded and have been working with a small group to start a health clinic for people without health insurance or money. I am pleased to say that after three years of hard work, this clinic will open within the next two or three months fully functional.
I love to hear any comments, suggestions, etc.

K-lee Starland, Ph.D.
I think u are really doing good work. Things work different in my country. When you talked of US Court Systems I remembered that of my place. People pray they have never to attend a court. You know I had a little brush with the judicial system beacuse of some mistake at my work. It has been eight years and I am still counting. You know I was feeling stronngly to write a comic play based on my experiences. Maybe some day.
Keep sharing your thoughts and experiences.

Hi Nusrat
My learning curve is going up - I found you. I appreciate your thoughts on my journal very much. Yes, I can imagine that Kashmir is not a place to be incarcerated. I have worked many years with Church World Service in Karachi (please doin't mind if I mention Pakistan) and Kashmir has been an interest of mine for a long time from both countries perspectives.
Please keep in touch. If there is any way I can assist you with any of your projects, please let me know.
Love K-lee
K-lee Starland, Ph.D.
No I don't mind your mentioning Pakistan. The country has a role to play in Kashmir. I would love to know more about your work and yes it will be great if we could work on something together. Hope to find something of the sorts soon.

Hi Nusrat
So good to hear from you. I sent you another message, too, but apparently it went to someone else. Oh, my. I'll get this figured out yet.
Mostly what I've been doing is helping to write human rights programs that they (Church World Service) are taking to the rural areas in Sindh and a few other places. (I write the basics and they edit as they see fit and translate it into Urdu. Out of this came a workbook that is being used not only in Pakistan but also in Afghanistan, Kenya and Columbia so I understand. If you would like a copy, I would be most happy to send one to you. Just send your mailing address. It is a workbook mostly for children/schools/families everywhere. I've used it here, too, where kids had no idea what human rights are or that they exist.
What I mentioned in the message that went to someone else, was that I would like to hear about your "brush with the law", as they say here, Sounds like a great story.
Love K-lee
K-lee Starland, Ph.D.
I was just thinking about you Nusrat and wishing you well. I would love to hear about your court experience. Please tell me. Sometimes a comic play is just what is needed for both the writer and the audience. I think that is a fun idea.
Best wishes K-lee

Shawwal is the tenth month in the lunar calendar. The first of Shawwal is Eid
ul Fitr. After the festivity of Eid it is recommended to observe six days of
fast. This fast may be observed continuously non-break, or it may be observed
one day at a time. If you observe it continuously, you may start on the fourth
day and end on the ninth of day Shawwal, or you may select days at random,
provided you complete six days before the end of Shawwal. For instance, you may
observe the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 14th and 15th days. Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (May
Allah be pleased with him) related the Messenger of Allah, (p.b.u.h.), said:
"Whoever observes the Ramadan fast and follows it with six days of fast in
Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted Dahr (the whole year or possibly forever)."
Analyzing this Hadith, our jurists (Ulama) explained how according to this
Hadith, a Muslim who fasts during Ramadan every year and follows it with six
days fast of Shawwal, will be credited for fasting a whole lifetime. The Jurists
correctly said: "A good deed (Hasanah) is rewarded a minimum of ten times its
equivalent. It follows, then, that one Ramadan is equivalent to ten months of
fasting, and the clincher, six days, is equal to two months, (6x10=60)." That
undoubtedly completes the year's twelve months. Thus, we see the wisdom and the
reason why the Prophet (p.b.u.h.) mentioned six days after Ramadan in Shawwal,
not five or seven.

No one could have predicted the sheer scope of global monetary policy bolstering the private banking and trading system. Yet, here we were - ensconced in the seventh year of capital markets being buoyed by coordinated government and central bank strategies. It's Keynesianism for Wall Street.
The unprecedented nature of this international effort has provided an illusion of stability, albeit reliant on artificial stimulus to the private sector in the form of cheap money, tempered currency rates (except the dollar - so far) and multi-trillion dollar bond buying programs. It is the most expensive, blatant aid for major financial players ever conceived and executed. But the facade is fading.

HPV/Genital Warts Health Center
HPV May Be Linked to Heart Attack, Stroke in Women
Can a Shot Prevent Heart Disease?
Suzanne Steinbaum, DO, is "floored" by the new findings. She is the director of women and heart disease at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "Those who had the cancer-causing HPV strain had an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke, without any of the other traditional risk factors being present."
This may help identify a new high-risk group, she says. About 20% of people with heart disease don't have any traditional risk factors such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure.
The study "sheds a new light on the assessment and risk factor analysis of heart disease in women, many of whom have HPV, and lends a new direction into the understanding of who is at risk for heart disease and therefore another means for us to prevent it," she says.
Nieca Goldberg, MD, medical director of the Joan H. Tisch Center for Women's Health and the Women's Heart Program at New York University Langone Medical Center in New York City, urges caution in interpreting the new findings.
"It would be groundbreaking, but we are so early on in the process," she says.
"If this is eventually proven to be a real risk for heart disease, it will be a way to identify younger women who are at risk," she says.
But it is a big leap to say that the HPV shot could protect women from heart attack and strokes. "HPV causes cervical cancer. In terms of cardiovascular disease risk, there may be a connection, but we are not there yet," she says.
There are things that women can do today that we know will lower their risk for heart attack or stroke, she says. These include quitting smoking, making sure their blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and body weight are within the normal range, and engaging in regular physical activity.
"We can't let people forget about the other risk factors," she says.

Leslie Fish
|Leslie Fish
|Background information
|New Jersey, United States
|Musician, author, writer
Leslie Fish is a filk musician, author, and anarchist political activist.[1]
Along with The DeHorn Crew, in 1976 she created the first commercial filk recording, Folk Songs for Folk Who Ain't Even Been Yet.[2] Her second recording, Solar Sailors (1977) included the song "Banned from Argo", a comic song parodying Star Trek which has since spawned over 80 variants and parodies. These two albums (originally on vinyl) have recently been put back into print on joint CD, entitled Folk Songs for Solar Sailors. She recorded the comic song "Carmen Miranda's Ghost", which was the source for the short story anthology Carmen Miranda's Ghost Is Haunting Space Station Three, edited by Don Sakers (in which she has one story and the notes on the song). Her song "Hope Eyrie" is regarded by some as being as close to the anthem of science fiction fandom as is possible in such a disparate group.[3][4][5]
Fish often weaves Pagan and anarchist themes into her music. She has also set to music many poems by Rudyard Kipling. She is a popular guest at science fiction conventions, and she can often be seen at the large filksings with her distinctive 12-string guitar, "Monster", which Leslie says plays best when it is given good Scotch whisky.
She sings (and makes several appearances) in the film Finding the Future: A Science Fiction Conversation,[6][7] which makes extensive use of her music. She was interviewed and performed in Trekkies 2.
Political activism[edit]
Fish has been involved with numerous political causes, most notably anti-war activism during the Vietnam War, and is a longtime member of the Industrial Workers of the World, a fact referred to in several of her songs (e.g., "Wobblies From Space", "Leslie's Filks"). She is also well known as a gun-rights activist, and has asserted that private gun ownership is the only true protection of individual freedom (a topic touched on in several of her songs).[1][8] Because of her distrust of the stability of modern society, she has in the past worked to organize groups for carrying on civilization after what she (at one time at least) considered the imminent collapse of the current society. Her album Firestorm was in large part meant as a set of instructions for surviving a nuclear war, on the reasoning that it would be easier to recall them if they were in lyric form.
On anarchism, Fish says: "What sort of anarchist future would I like to see? There's no reason for a government-free society to be nothing but agrarian, no reason at all that it couldn't be industrial and space-faring."[9]
The character "Jenny Trout" in the science fiction novel Fallen Angels is clearly meant to be Fish, although Trout is portrayed as a Marxist.[10]
Other activities[edit]
In addition to her work as a filk artist, Fish is also well-known within the Star Trek fan community for her works of fan fiction, which include "Shelter" (1976), one of the first Kirk/Spock stories ever published, and the fan-published Star Trek novel The Weight. "In Textual Poachers, his landmark study of fan communities, MIT's Henry Jenkins described Fish's anarchist-feminist Star Trek novel The Weight as a 'compelling narrative' 'remarkable in the scope and complexity of its conception, the precision of its execution, and the explicitness of its political orientation.'"[11] She has also written original novels and short stories, both alone and in collaboration with C. J. Cherryh and others. Her song, "Carmen Miranda's Ghost is Haunting Space Station Three," inspired a collection of short stories with the same title, edited by Don Sakers and featuring stories by Cherryh and Anne McCaffrey.
She is an avid roleplaying gamer, especially in regard to LARPing. She has also been a member in the Society for Creative Anachronism (SCA) since the 1970s. In recent years[when?], she has been the driving force behind the establishment of Fan Haven, a 230-acre (0.93 km2) private park in Arizona meant to serve as a safe space for LARPers, Pagans, naturists, SCAdians, and other marginalized groups associated with fandom.[citation needed] However, the Federal government has disputed the validity of the mining claim that she proposed to use to establish ownership.[citation needed]
While Fish rarely discusses her private life, she had been in a romantic relationship with anarchist political activist Mary Frohman "from the late '60s through the early '80s."[11] Together they were part of the "Dehorn Crew", the house band for the IWW. Fish has often asserted that bisexuality is the human norm, and that the pervasive sexual repression she sees in current society causes many of the current social ills. She was recently[when?] married to long-time friend Robert "Rasty Bob" Ralston.[citation needed]
One of Fish's more unusual personal projects is an ongoing attempt to breed domestic cats for intelligence and other traits, including polydactyly. She claims that her cats are about as intelligent as a six-year-old human child, except in regards to symbolic language.[12]
Since 2013, Fish and Ralston have been working to develop a rare and endangered species orchard.[13]

Crab Cake Burgers
These burgers have a true crab flavor that isn't masked by fillers or strong seasoning. Serve on a bun with tartar sauce or with a lemon-juice-dressed salad of greens, sprouts and sliced peaches. This recipe works best with convenient pasteurized crab meat, usually found in the refrigerated case near the fish counter. If you prefer lump crab meat, cut it into small, uniform pieces.
- 1 pound crab meat
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons chives, minced
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon celery seed
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper, freshly ground
- 4 dashes hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- Step 1
- Mix crab, egg, breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, chives, mustard, lemon juice, celery seed, onion powder, pepper and hot sauce in a large bowl. Form into 6 patties.
- Step 2
- Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until the butter stops foaming. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
