Author has written 4 stories for Kingdom Hearts.
"That's the real trouble with the world, too many people grow up." - Walt Disney
Hey there, name's Regiss. I'm a college student who has way too much free time on his hands. While I've been writing for a long time and enjoy doing it, details aren't my strong suit. I generally don't include romance in stuff I write, or if I do it's not a major factor. So if you're looking for shipping fics I'm not your guy.
I like a lot of video games, but my favorite series are (in no particular order) Kingdom Hearts, Pokémon, Metal Gear, .hack, The Legend of Zelda, and Warcraft. Some TV shows I enjoy are Doctor Who, Arrow & The Flash, Digimon, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Avatar: The Last Airbender. There are others I like, of course. Those are just a few.
Most stories of mine tend to die early on and aren't really worth sharing, but the Remember the Tides saga is my longest lasting and I'm kind of proud of it. It's a Kingdom Hearts series about Xion. Maybe you'd like to give it a read?
For behind the scenes trivia and other things like that, please see rememberthetidesfic (dot) tumblr (dot) com.

No bait shall be placed until the bait permit and map have been submitted to the Wildlife Division. No bait may be placed from April 15 through August 31 (dates inclusive). Bait may not be placed at any site until the baiting season for that species is open.
Baiting Rules for State-owned and State-managed Lands
In addition to the General Baiting Rules, the following rules apply to State-owned and State-managed lands:
In addition to all other applicable baiting rules, the following rules apply to baiting for bear (see Bear Hunting for bear baiting season dates):
In addition to all other applicable baiting rules, the following rules apply to baiting for deer (for deer baiting season dates, see Deer Hunting):
Dead Animals
If you find a dead deer, bear, moose or turkey you did not kill, do not tag or move it. Road killed wildlife may not be taken without permission of a law enforcement officer. Call Law Enforcement Dispatch at (603) 271-3361.

Interstate transportation of wildlife taken, possessed, transported or sold in violation of a state law is a violation of federal law. The penalty can be up to $250,000 and 5 years in prison.
Leashed Dog Trackers
Volunteer leashed dog trackers are private citizens who can help track and recover wounded deer, moose and bear. They are licensed by the Fish and Game Department for this activity, which may take place at night. Give them a call, they can help. Visit huntnh.com for a list of licensed leashed dog trackers.
OHRV Use
Use of OHRVs (ATV, trail bike, UTV) requires written landowner permission unless on a sanctioned ATV trail and must be registered when operating off your own property. No person shall carry on an OHRV, or a trailer towed by the same, any firearm unless it is unloaded. This does not apply to pistols being carried under a permit issued pursuant to RSA 159.
Written landowner permission is required for any tree stand, ladder or observation blind which damages or destroys a tree by inserting into the tree any metallic, ceramic, or other object.

This National Wildlife Refuge, located in Greenfield and Temple, NH, is CLOSED to all hunting.
Shooting Ranges
New Hampshire has dozens of fish and game clubs and shooting ranges where you can safely practice your shooting skills. Check the N.H. Fish and Game website for a partial list. The majority of rifle/pistol ranges are private, meaning that membership is required to use them, or in some cases you can be the guest of a member. Shotgun ranges are generally open to the public, with non-members paying a higher fee per round of shooting. Many of the membership clubs have special days during the year when the public is invited to try out the facilities or to sight in their firearms. Contact your local club for details, or to ask about becoming a member.
Regulations in red are new this year.

New York, New York, United States · Member since January 2012
Hello all,
I am a personal shopper/stylist living and working in NYC.
I love to travel, and in my ventures, I find that clean, hospitable, well-kept and well-designed accommodations can sometimes make or break the trip. That's why when I was introduced to Airbnb, I was intrigued and chose to sign up and join the family and community.
I find that both as a host and as a guest, the most integral part is to be respectful and very mindful of people's space. The rest - to enjoy to the fullest your ventures, travels and life in general!

OCALA, Fla. (AP) - Police are searching for the person they say beat an elderly Ocala man with a table leg.
A news release says 77-year-old Thomas Hickman was looking through a trash bin on Sunday when another man took a broken table
leg and beat Hickman with it. The man dragged Hickman behind the dumpster then took off in Hickman's car.
The vehicle was later found abandoned.
Hickman was taken to a hospital with non life-threatening injuries.

How Do You Drivelapse?
Drivelapsing can be as easy or as complicated as you want to make it. For me, it started out easy, in 2009, but as the years have passed, I've gradually improved the quality of my videos. As a result, it's become more complicated. But don't be discouraged! You can make really good Drivelapse videos, very easily.
My first attempt at Drivelaping looked like this:
It was a simple setup. I purchased a Kodak Zi6 video camera (which was pretty awesome at the time, in 2009). I mounted it on a flexible-leg mini-tripod, and covered the dashboard with a black towel to reduce reflections in the glass.
The first thing I discovered is, the camera needs two points of contact. Just putting it on a tripod is not enough -- it will vibrate, no matter how well you've anchored the tripod to the dash. The camera also needs to touch the glass.
Eventually I did away with the tripod. It was too awkward to be quickly moved when leaving the car. I discovered that the camera could be easily wedged between the dash and the glass, using a suction cup on the window. The towel goes under the camera, to provide some cushion between the camera and the dash, which makes minor adjustments easier.
Over the years, I changed cameras a few times. I'm still using a Kodak video camera (two of them, actually, for redundancy), but I'm now using a PlayTouch. They aren't being made anymore, but as of 2015, you can still buy used ones on eBay, very cheaply.
I also built a metal frame, and mounted the cameras inside it. This makes it easier to handle the cameras, when slipping them into place, or taking them down. Since my power cords (usb cables) are attached to the frame, it reduces strain on the camera's connector socket (I had a couple of circuit boards break from strain on the wires).
So why am I using a discontinued camera? Why not use a GoPro? There are a few reasons. For one, I wanted something cheap. Since I'm using these on vacation, things happen. I didn't want to lose an investment of hundreds of dollars. Also, a lot of the action cameras on the market today have an extra-wide angle lens, which captures the dashboard, the wipers, the air vents, and lots of reflections. A less-wide angle actually looks better to me.
The Kodak cameras also have a few other particular features that some other cameras don't, and they're very important to Drivelapsing. You must use a camera that...
When I start driving, I hit Record. If I pull over or park, I stop recording. When I start again, I hit Record again. This way, I don't have a lot of motionless video to edit out, once I get home.
Every night, I download the day's video onto a laptop. When the trip is over, I start editing -- first assembling the different video clips into one video, then speeding it up. Most videos run at 400% to 800% speed.
In 2015, I added something new. I discovered a camera made specifically for time-lapse photography, from a company called Brinno. Instead of shooting real-time, 30-frames-per-second video, this camera shoots only a few frames per second, then creates a video file that's already accellerated. There are advantages and disadvantages to this approach, which I'll cover in my Review of the Brinnon TLC-200 Pro camera.
The long battery life of the Brinno allowed me to experiment with roof-mounting the camera. It took some trial and error, but I think the angle from the roof is superior to a dash-mounted shot. I also added a rear-facing camera. But for now, I'm still shooting both kinds of video. I'll talk more about mounting options on my Roof-Mount Options page.
Submit Your Drivelapse Video
Unfortunately, I am no longer accepting submissions for Drivelapse videos to include on this site. But, the good news is, an update to MyDrivelapse is coming soon, which will allow you to submit videos. You can still use this form to contact me, if you'd like. You can also see my latest videos, and contact me, through my YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/takemytripdotcom

I understand that the correct way to declare a return type const is to write:
int foo() const;
But in some cases this doesn't work for me, then I can use:
const int foo();
What is the difference between these, and why can I use the latter in all cases but not the first one.
An example of where I can't use the first one is when I want to return an array of bools that are defined outside of the method.
Kind regards,

''armed and dangerous fugitive'' was detained yesterday by
armed offenders squad members as part of a joint-agency
training day.
Dozens of armed, black-clad officers assembled in the car
park of the Taieri airfield to receive their briefing.
Within minutes, the first six-strong squad was in a Royal New
Zealand Air Force Iroquois helicopter bound for an
undisclosed rural Taieri location in search of an offender.
The operation involved 40 members of the Dunedin and
Invercargill squads, who were joined by police dog teams and
St John paramedics.
Dunedin AOS commander, Inspector Jason Guthrie, said this
type of large-scale training day involving the southern
squads took place about once a year.
''It is an opportunity for us to test ourselves in a rural
environment with groups we don't get to work with all the
time,'' he said.
''Training can only take you so far. The kind of people we
get on the squad are selected for their initiative and their
ability to be flexible.''
Insp Guthrie said members came from a variety of different
police roles and while the AOS role was, at times, exciting,
there were ''many cold, long nights without a lot of

Vista users love to complain about the intrusiveness of User Account Control, but it does provide a degree of security.
If you're using Windows XP, I'll show you what steps you can take to give yourself a similar level of safety.
Protect your system from attacks
One of the most common complaints about Windows Vista is its frequent requests for confirmation. Vista User Account Control (UAC) feature pops up when you launch certain kinds of programs, attempt to customize the Start menu, configure parental controls, install applications or drivers, and so on.
But annoying or not, this feature provides important safeguards against intrusions by viruses and malicious users. UAC is also an important component of Internet Explorer 7 in Vista. It allows IE 7 to run in "protected mode," in which the browser lacks the rights to install start-up programs or directly reconfigure Windows.
If you use Windows XP, you can't add all the protections afforded by UAC, but you can take steps to limit the damage malware can do.
Don't run as administrator all the time
Most people using Windows XP routinely log in administrator privileges. At first glance, this makes sense — why wouldn't you want to have all the rights necessary to control your own system?
The answer is that doing so also gives unlimited access to every program you run. The single best way to simulate user account control in Windows XP is to run as an ordinary user. Don't worry; I'll show you how to get around the limitations when you really need to.

Fiesta Bowl to remain in BCS
Published: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 12, 2011 at 10:39 a.m.
WASHINGTON — At the cost of a $1 million fine, the Fiesta Bowl will keep its place in the Bowl Championship Series.
The BCS presidential oversight committee imposed the penalty in the wake of a scandal at the Arizona-based game that included apparently illegal campaign contributions from staff and lavish spending by the former CEO on parties and a night at a strip club.
Under the ruling, the Fiesta Bowl must also meet certain BCS demands such as strengthening the Fiesta Bowl's board and imposing greater supervision over bowl executives.

Voici ce que j'ai trouvé concernant ces transactions mystérieuses...
Broker Codes: 100 - TSX - TSX Buy-ins (CDS)
In order to support CDS in cases where a seller has failed to deliver a security following a trade, TSX has developed a special "Buy-In" facility to locate alternate sellers capable of immediately delivering the security, therefore enabling CDS to quickly and efficiently clear the failed position.
On a daily basis, CDS provides a list of securities that Participating Organizations have failed to make delivery on.
1:30 PM (1st Cycle) - TSX receives and posts the preliminary Buy-In list. At this point, other Participating Organizations have the opportunity to provide liquidity by submitting Buy-In orders.
2:45 PM (2nd Cycle) - TSX receives and posts the Final Buy-In list. This list identifies the remaining securities that still need to be delivered.
3:00 PM - Cut-off for accepting Buy-In orders
Upon completion of the Buy-In period, TSX allocates fills on an equal by member basis to the sellers and calculates a price. This price is based on the last board lot trade before 3:00 plus a premium.
Buy-In Price = Last Board lot Sale Price + Premium
TSX manually enters these trades that are cleared by CDS on a same-day basis. Between 3:20 and 3:40, TSX Trading Services will provide transaction confirmations. This process efficiently clears failed delivery trades and helps to maintain overall market integrity.

Loss of Lives in Clinical Trials...
Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration this week issued Emergency Use Authorization for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel-Influenza A/H7 Assay in response to what it called "significant potential for a public health emergency" based on the emergence of the influenza A(H7N9) virus that has led to 23 deaths in China and Taiwan.
Though the assay is intended for research purposes only, the federal agency said that "based on the totality of scientific evidence available to FDA, it is reasonable to believe that the CDC Human Influenza Virus Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel-Influenza A/H7 (Eurasian Lineage) Assay may be effective in diagnosing A(H7N9) influenza virus," and that the known and potential benefits of using it for diagnostic purposes "outweigh the known and potential risks of such product."
Life Technologies reports that its Applied Biosystems® 7500 Fast Dx Real-Time PCR instrument is the sole platform cleared for use under the CDC protocol created for emergency screenings of patients suspected of harboring H7N9. The company adds that its SuperScript III One-Step qRT-PCR reagent kit "is intended to be used with the CDC's human influenza virus assay to quickly monitor the spread of the pathogen and thwart a potential pandemic."
The firm also says it is increasing reagent production to meet global need, adding that scientists are currently using its Ion PGM™ Sequencer to characterize the virus in order to determine whether it can be transmitted from human to human.
"We have learned through our past experiences that a strong surveillance program is crucial in times like these," Dan Didier, Life Tech public health director, said in a statement. "We are working continually with our partners around the globe on improving our capabilities, particularly when it comes to developing rapid detection kits."
FDA has issued such authorization for medical devices during past flu emergencies, including the 2009 H1N1 outbreak.

Cuban Hermes
this wiki
- "Cuban gangbanger's car."
- ―GTA Vice City Website.
The Cuban Hermes is a gang variant of the Hermes, appearing in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
The Cuban Hermes is, as the name suggests, a modified Hermes to look like what appears to be a hot rod. It serves as the gang car for the Cubans/Los Cabrones, and as such, the car is commonly seen in the Cuban gang's territory of Little Havana, Vice City.
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, the Cuban Hermes is black with a flame decal paint job on most of its body. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, however, the black painted Hermes is absent, with there being light blue and white variants in its place, with slightly different flame decal paint jobs.
Version History Gallery
The Cuban Hermes sports noticeable differences from its non-gang affiliated counterpart, in both appearance and performance. The car's engine emits a different engine noise, similar to a turbocharged vintage V8 engine. All renditions feature additional side exhausts, alongside the conventional dual rear ones. The Grand Theft Auto: Vice City rendition is known to emit flames from these exhausts when accelerating. In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, however, it features a further modification, with it being the wheels positioned further into the wheel wells than those on the regular or Vice City Cuban Hermes.
It also has higher top speed and acceleration then the regular Hermes and feels somewhat lighter. It has pretty good cornering abilities and stability.
Prominent Appearances
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Guardian Angels - The cubans will come to the alley in a Cuban Hermes, as it's their gang car.
- Bombs Away! - One of the cars destroyed with bombs droped by the RC Baron.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
- Driven around Little Havana by Cuban gang members.
Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories
- In front of Umberto Robina's house.
- Driven around Little Havana by Los Cabrones gang members.
- Next to a house in central Little Havana.
- The default radio station for the car is Radio Espantoso.
- This is the only car in the 3D universe to emit flames from the exhaust.
- According to GTA Vice City Stories' game manual, the 1980 Hermes costs $14,500.
- Although the only paint jobs that can be found on the Cuban Hermes in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories are light blue and white, it can look like the black variant found in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City by typing the "All cars are black" cheat.
- Despite having a street rod like appearance, the Cuban Hermes is, in fact, a hot rod. This is because, unlike the regular Hermes, it has no license plate. With this making it illegal for use on the street, it is therefore a hot rod.
See Also
- Hermes - Civilian version.
- Diablo Stallion - Another modified car with almost the same characteristics. Both cars are supercharged versions of regular models, both have similar custom flame paint jobs and both are used by gangs of Hispanic origin as their primary means of transport. Furthermore, both cars utilize the same engine sound.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
In the eagerly awaited second volume of bestseller Goodkind's Chainfire trilogy, which will wrap up his long-running Sword of Truth series, star-crossed Richard Cypher (aka Lord Richard Rahl) searches for his beautiful "phantom" wife, Kahlan Amnell, who lost her memory in 2005's Chainfire after the Sisters of the Dark cast a spell on her. Meanwhile, Richard has memorized a magical instruction book, The Book of Counted Shadows, which will help open the three boxes of the Orden, though the consequences could be dire for the Old World: "Open the correct box, and one gains the power of Orden-the essence of life itself, power over all things living and dead... Open the wrong box... and every living thing in existence is incinerated into nothingness. It would be the end of all life." Despite the simplistic good vs. evil conflict and bland prose, the author expertly juggles many complex plot lines and brings to life a host of colorful characters. Goodkind has recently made a deal with Sam Raimi of the Spiderman franchise to translate the series into film.

The main problem with this series is that Goodkind does not consider it to be fantasy but rather some sort of inspirational tract meant to enlighten us drudges about freedom and the colossal beacon of blinding light that is the thought of Ayn Rand. This invariably creates problems. Goodkind is far more interested in proselytizing than in writing a good yarn. Thus, much of the dialogue is stilted and embarassingly awkward. At one point the seer Jebra shows up to tell Richard all about her experience as a captive of the Imperial Order (as he if he didn't know what they were like already). Despite having lived through grotesque horrors, her narrative (which goes on for pages) is absurdly dry and sounds like she's reading from a textbook or maybe from the diary of someone who had only polite interest in what was going on. The same goes for the bad guys. The Imperial Order soldiers, described as the most brutish and nasty people alive, don't even swear.Read more ›
What Mr. Goodkind has done in his latest installment of the Sword of Truth series is a new low. Facing insurmountable odds, our hero Richard decides that the only path to victory lies in visiting the same atrocities upon the enemy citizenry, as have been committed upon Richard's own people. Whereas some might say the plotline (such as it is) in Phantom is particularly relevant to current world events, the fact is that what the heroes in this story are engaging in on behalf of all that is good, is exactly what would be universally condemned here in real life.
The prose in Phantom is long-winded enough to destroy the New Orleans levees all over again.Read more ›
I will finish this book, though it is now becoming a chore rather than a pleasure. I always finish the novel I started (with one boring exception with a book by Ed Greenwood; I cannot remember the title). It is very possible that this may be the last Terry Goodkind book I will ever read, unless things significantly improve. But with the threat of a third book with Kahlan under the Chainfire spell, can I really do it?
Before I picked this one, I had just finished (re-)reading the first 11 books of the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. That storyline did not always move too quickly, but there were many engaging (sub-)plots.
As for the actual plot, it is mostly a rehash of elements from the previous books; some I enjoyed and some I did not. There is very little new material here to expand his world and inspire the imagination. I get the distinct impression that Goodkind simply wants to finish this off so that he can move on to his next project. At this point his intriguing characters are boring, his magic is unmagical, and his creative setting is empty and bland.
I will only be reading the final book, Confessor, to bring a little closure to my 10 year relationship with this series. I believe it would have been better if Terry Goodkind had simply written the Chainfire trilogy as a single book.

The Signal
Directed by William Eubank. Starring Brenton Thwaites, Laurence Fishburne, Olivia Cooke, Beau Knapp, Lin Shaye, Robert Longstreet. (2014, PG-13, 95 min.)
REVIEWED By William Goss, Fri., June 13, 2014
William Eubank's background in marketing and music videos is plainly apparent in each of his directorial efforts, Fantastic Fest 2011 selection Love and this Sundance-approved follow-up, in which a trio of tech-savvy twentysomethings – Nic, Haley, and Jonah (Thwaites, Cooke, and Knapp) – allow a cross-country trip to get waylaid by the provocations of a mysterious hacker. After being drawn out to the Nevada desert by the titular beacon, our hapless trio soon find themselves detained in an underground facility, subject to the curious investigations of an aloof doctor (Fishburne, who's further removed by the hazmat suit he always wears) and given few actual answers as to what they have stumbled upon.
The mystery at hand shouldn't surprise any seasoned sci-fi geek, but Eubank (who also co-wrote the screenplay) substitutes a remarkable visual flair in lieu of traditional suspense. Accompanied by the half-melancholy, half-foreboding strains of Nima Fakhrara's score, any number of Instagram-worthy flashbacks to happier times are intended to serve as lyrical emotional shorthand. Cryptic conversations between Thwaites and Fishburne alternate between uncomfortable close-ups and wide symmetrical frames, emphasizing the eerily antiseptic setting, and speed-ramping (in which an image appears to fluctuate in time) is repeatedly flaunted whenever matters take a turn for the explosive.
If The Signal sounds like more style than substance, well, it is. The central premise teases out intriguingly enough without ever quite getting its hooks in – more content to dole out goofy revelations at a steady clip than effectively correlate Nic's vaguely debilitating health and tumultuous relationship with his present predicament. Positioned as Hollywood's It Boy of the moment, Australian actor Thwaites (Oculus, Maleficent, this August's The Giver) shines in contrast to his co-stars – hamstrung as they often are by either plot vagaries or acts of archetypal heroism – and proves angsty enough on his own to anchor an escalating amount of mayhem about as visually eye-popping as it is narratively eye-rolling.
By the time Eubank reveals his endgame, the echoes of bolder films ultimately overpower whatever initial curiosity this one had up its sleeve. The result is a bit like seeing a Nike commercial make a drunken pass at its friend's manga collection while the X-Files DVDs watch from across the room; it may not make much sense, but at least it's never boring.
See "Sourcing 'The Signal," June 13, for an interview with the director.

Box of Lies

5.0 out of 5 stars
Crisp, creative, thought-provoking
Nov. 7 2010
This review is from:
Box of Lies (Paperback)
I've read Mark LaFlamme's work before, so I thought I knew what I was in for with his BOX OF LIES. Shivers at the back of my neck, furtive glances over my shoulder, a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach... delicious! But I didn't bargain on the cumulative effect of more than two dozen stories, each with its own chilling atmosphere. LaFlamme is like a graffiti artist sliding around a corner in the dark with his collar turned up, a few bold strokes and he's moved on--but the territory of your mind has been tagged with his distinctive images.
If you're about to say that short stories aren't your thing, put that opinion on hold for a day or two and peek under the cover here. See if you really can resist. Each story opens with a line that yanks you in: "Trevor Garbo liked dead things." "My name is Rudy Weather and I can read your mind." "It was two days after the world ended when the old van rumbled up Route 4." "'Do you ever worry,' Randall Albee asked him, 'That they might come for you?'"
I wouldn't know where to start, telling you about these stories. Read a few here, a few there, put the book down and think about them for a while, go back and read a few more. One thing you know for sure is that, whether you're reading about a band of murdering fourth-graders, a shopkeeper defending his territory after the apocalyse, or a man who made a very poor bargain for eternal life, the characters are so real you can reach out and touch them, if you only dare.
Many of these stories spoke to me of some truth I don't quite dare to believe. For example, if you were moving into a new house as I am this week, what would you think of a story like "Our House," about a home that nurtures one of its new tenants while abusing the other? And do you hope that we'll adopt a gentle new paradigm when the oil is gone but fear that, instead, as it does in "The Neighborhood," it will come out of our hides? And perhaps creepiest of all, do you ever think about what could happen--or not happen--because you stopped to pick up a penny (or, perhaps, didn't)?
If you've let your imagination get a little rusty, prepare to be challenged by Box of Lies. Stylish writing, great characters and some wildly skewed concepts; it's a whole lot of entertainment with the mind-bending thrown in for free.

The inconvenient girl
Nov. 7 2010
This review is from:
Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox (Paperback)
Imagine discovering that you're responsible for an elderly relative whose existence you never suspected. This is what happens to Iris Lockhart: she learns that her grandmother has a sister, Esme, locked up in a mental hospital for sixty-one years since she was sixteen. Now the institution is closing and somebody needs to get involved in Esme's placement and care. The grandmother, Kitty, has Alzheimer's and so Esme finds herself with a house guest in her small flat.
The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox is the story of these three women; of Iris, Kitty and Esme in contemporary Edinburgh, and of the sisters Kitty and Esme as children and young women. The point of view moves around in sometimes fragmented memories and realizations, a tour de force for author Maggie O'Farrell.
The story is shocking. A girl growing up in the 1930s, out of step with her family, dreaming dreams and wanting to live her own life, not fitting in with the expectations of her emotionally cold parents; an inconvenient girl whose final offense is being a victim. Her family and her doctor send her away and in the asylum she's victimized again; experiences that sentence her to a life away from the world. But is she mad? Now that the hospital is closing, apparently she ISN'T mad. Her grand-niece takes her home and the past begins to unfold.
This is a book that challenges the reader with its quick shifts and non-linear construction--and with its revelation of uninterpreted experiences. Bad things happen and bear bitter fruit, but the reader must connect the dots; O'Farrell's style makes the reader a participant. If you enjoy this kind of challenge, you'll lose yourself in the women's stories. It could have been written as a family saga, and probably done well, but the creativity of O'Farrell's language and style took my breath away. Only the very end of the book left me somewhat unsatisfied, and all of a sudden I wanted the author to do something more conventional in the last few pages. My own failure of nerve, I'm sure.
I listened to the unabridged audio, stunningly performed by Daniella Nardini whose rendition of the characters added so much to the impact of the story. The Audible link on the Amazon product page takes you to a version that is unavailable in the US due to publishing rights restrictions, but if you search for the book on the Audible site you'll find that it is available.

Damaged: A Maggie O'Dell Novel (Hardcover)
DAMAGED is my first Maggie O'Dell book, though it's the eighth in the series. On the whole I prefer not to have a lot of back-story in series books and Damaged satisfies on that count, though the downside is that I didn't feel I knew Maggie all that well by the end of the book.
A Coast Guard team from Pensacola, Florida finds a fishing cooler floating in the ocean and it turns out to be filled with body parts. Maggie, an FBI profiler fresh off a bloody case, is enlisted by the Deputy Director of Homeland Security, her friend Charlie Wurth, to investigate the body parts case. It's not exactly clear why a profiler would be needed on this sort of case but it does put Maggie right in the eye of the Category 5 hurricane bearing down on the Panhandle--and in the same city as her friend and possible romantic interest, Colonel Benjamin Platt. The Colonel is investigating a virus attacking wounded soldiers in an army hospital there.
The other thread of the story involves the family of the Coast Guard rescue swimmer, Liz Bailey. Her brother-in-law Scott has a new, very creepy business associate turning up at odd hours at Scott's funeral home.
There are a number of quirky characters in the book but aside from Maggie, the one with the most depth is the rescue swimmer, and I'd like to read more about her. Maggie, as one would expect, is a tense and complicated character. Will she and Platt ever take a chance on their relationship?
Author Alex Kava dishes up the story in short, tight chapters that move from one character and plot thread to the next. It keeps the reader turning pages but doesn't allow much depth--I'd like to see a more extended style from her. While many books seem to be fifty or a hundred pages too long, DAMAGED errs in the other direction and doesn't provide enough sustained tension. All the ends are tied up but it's not really a thriller. The hurricane theme may have been done and done again, but since the author chose to play the hurricane card, we could have done with more "storm coverage."
I understand that the Maggie O'Dell series has its ardent fans, so I think it's safe to say that DAMAGED is not the place to start. It's a good light read, but misses on a few important aspects. Three stars.

Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day Audiobook (Audio CD)
Fans of the Golden Age "grande dames" of detective fiction are oh-so-familiar with the young, fast set in 1930s London. Lord Peter Wimsey could talk "piffle" till the wee hours at clubs and parties, and Roderick Alleyn--until he met the artist Agatha Troy--was known to enjoy the company of actresses. These detectives were the creations of Dorothy L. Sayers and Ngaio Marsh, but their London came to life as a backdrop to the wildly popular books.
Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day is by no means a crime novel, but it was written in 1938 by Winifred Watson, a contemporary of Sayers and Marsh. It was a best-seller in its day but went out of print until resurrected by Persephone Books, a London-based publisher of "neglected classics" from the 20th century. "Miss Pettigrew" was made into a movie, which I have not seen, in 2008.
Miss Pettigrew is a drab middle-aged spinster out of a job and looking for work as a governess (which she hates, being afraid of both the children and their parents). An agency sends her by mistake to the apartment of nightclub singer Delycia LaFosse. Miss LaFosse's personal affairs are in an uproar due to a surfeit of suitors, and Miss Pettigrew discovers in herself a talent for sorting out difficult situations. The day brings one situation after another and there is never a chance to inquire about the position. How does timid Miss Pettigrew find it in herself to send unsuitable young men packing and become the toast of cocktail parties and night clubs? Simple--she takes her inspiration from haughty former employers and of course from the movies she loves so much. It's all so wonderful for her; she's never had a scrap of glamor and excitement in her life until this wonderful day.
After inciting a fight at a late-night club to save Miss LaFosse from herself, with whom will Miss Pettigrew find herself sharing a cab? And what will come of THAT adventure? Predictable but so much fun...the entire book is a piece of delightful "piffle," and of course everyone gets the very thing they want most in the end.
There are a few passages that are culturally inappropriate by today's standards, and of course you wouldn't want your daughters lying about in negligees drinking all day and staying up until 4 a.m. throwing themselves at tantalizing men in night clubs. But the book is a product of its era so if you can cut it some slack on that account, then by all means pick it up and enjoy it.
I listened to the unabridged audio, wonderfully narrated by Frances McDormand who played Miss Pettigrew in the 2008 movie. It was six hours of pure escapist enjoyment, though I'm sorry to have missed the original illustrations in the Persephone edition.

The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York

The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York (Hardcover)
In the early 1900s New York, like any sprawling city, exhibited the best and the worst of human behavior. Some of New York's worst came under the lax scrutiny of the elected coroners, not always the sober and honest guardians of the public that they should have been. Poisoners, among other criminals, were often able to walk away scot-free because the devious ways of poison were poorly understood.
In 1918 the city established its first true medical examiner system, and the wealthy and well-educated Dr. Charles Norris took over as its leader. Norris and his top forensic chemist, Alexander Gettler, were in the vanguard of the new science of forensics. The Poisoner's Handbook is the story of these innovative men, and of the toxic substances they worked so hard to understand.
Pulitzer Prize-winning science writer Deborah Blum devotes each chapter of The Poisoner's Handbook: Murder and the Birth of Forensic Medicine in Jazz Age New York to a different poison, explaining its chemistry and effects, a case or two in which it's used with nefarious intent, and the work of Norris and Gettler in developing tests and conducting forensic examinations. Blum discusses arsenic, chloroform, mustard and other toxic wartime gases, cyanide, mercury, carbon monoxide, radium (pity the clock-dial painters who sharpened their brushes between their lips!), lead, and less well-known but deadly substances such as thallium. These poisons are used for fumigation, to hurry inheritances, in support of sheer greed, and sometimes out of desperation or ignorance.
The science is not at all overwhelming, if you don't mind some talk of minced organs and dismemberment. Blum's vivid language describes the chemistry in terms of icy crystals, brilliant layers in beakers and tubes, and "the sizzle of gas burners...and the bubbling of flasks over flames."
Blum frames her book around the years of Prohibition, the so-called Noble Experiment, which was ratified as the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in January 1919 (and repealed by the Twenty-first Amendment in December 1933). Blum makes thorough work of the harm that accrued to the public from drinking poisonous methyl alcohol and concoctions such as "smoke" and "Ginger Jake." By government policy, industrial alcohol was "denatured" by toxic additives; Norris and Gettler saw so much death from this policy that they became ardent crusaders against Prohibition.
It's interesting to read social history through a very specific lens; and this book is a fascinating social history. Yes, it's about poison, and about the birth of forensic science, but there's also much to be considered about public policy and the growing awareness of industrial responsibility in this cross-section of American life from 1915 to 1935.

"An older, more truthful world"
Nov. 7 2010
This review is from:
The Greengage Summer (Paperback)
Originally published in 1958, The Greengage Summer is a lush coming of age novel that might have been aimed at the young adult market, featuring as it does the five Grey children virtually on their own in France. Their father is a botanist and seldom home, so their long-suffering mother marches them to the champagne country of the Marne for summer holiday, intending that they should be edified by seeing "what other people have given." The bedraggled troupe arrive at a hotel named Les Oeillets where the proprietress, Mademoiselle Zizi, is horrified at the sight of them. Her "special friend," the cheerful Englishman Eliot, arranges for Mrs. Grey to have hospital care and appoints himself guardian of the children.
The eldest, sixteen-year-old Joss, is taken to bed for some time with a stomach upset. That leaves her thirteen-year-old sister Cecil, our narrator, in charge (so to speak) of the three younger children. They spend their days roaming the gardens, gorging themselves on plums in the greengage orchard, picnicking along the river, and getting their noses into everything while remaining invisible to the adults who don't want to see them anyway. Their slim command of French just adds to the hazy, exotic quality of their holiday.
Ah! but Joss and even young Cecil are "standing with reluctant feet / where the brook and river meet," writes Godden, quoting Henry Wadworth Longfellow's poem "Maidenhood." They learn very little about the war (other than from the bullet holes, blood stains and buried skull carefully restored from time to time at the hotel), but they learn much, much more about the pleasures and risks of adulthood. Joss has blossomed and Eliot can't take his eyes off her, to Mlle Zizi's rage, and then there is the kitchen boy, Paul ...
This book has flashes of humor that remind me of another long-loved book: Gerald Durrell's My Family and Other Animals. But English author Rumer Godden reveals the dark side of growing up in "Greengage," as adult passion and greed lead to actions that the children see as betrayal.
So yes, the story is mesmerizing, but oh, the language! It's so rich and atmospheric. "...I can smell the Les Oeillets smells of hot dust and cool plaster walls, of jasmine and box leaves in the sun, of dew in the long grass...I can hear the sounds that seem to belong only to Les Oeillets: the patter of the poplar trees along the courtyard wall, of a tap running in the kitchen mixed with the sound of high French voices, of the thump of Rex's tail and another thump of someone washing clothes on the river bank; of barges puffing upstream...of the faint noise of the town and, near, the plop of a fish or of a greengage falling."
I listened to this old friend of a book, brilliantly performed by Nicola Pagett. I didn't understand the French conversation quite so well as I did at fifteen, but that was no obstacle to my complete enjoyment of this beatiful book.

The Possibility of Everything: A Memoir (Paperback)
A high-anxiety lifestyle, an acting-out three year old, a vacation in Belize, and toes dipped into the mysterious power of the spiritual world. These are the ingredients of author Hope Edelman's The Possibility of Everything: A Memoir.
Edelman and her husband Uzi are at a loss when their daughter Maya starts showing aggressive behavior and blaming it on her imaginary friend, Dodo. The pediatrician says not to worry, a therapist friend says the same, but Edelman's not the laid-back parent who can do that. Something's not working in their household.
Hope and Uzi decide on a Christmas vacation and after an over-achiever selection process, Belize it is. During the Central America planning, the idea of consulting a shaman or spiritual healer for Maya takes root. Uzi is the kind of person who easily accepts the unknown but Hope believes in what she sees. For her, the idea is a reach. The trip starts off badly: Maya has croup and the Central American airline's schedule has a meltdown that keeps them in transit an extra day.
Hope Edelman's tourist narrative about Belize and Guatemala is very detailed and slows the pace of the book; if you enjoy travelogues, you may not find this a bad thing. I enjoyed the Mayan history and the visit to Tikal, an excavated Mayan site in northern Guatemala. Be aware that you're signing on to a tour that includes a sick and sometimes troubled three-year-old at the center of the action, along with her imaginary Dodo, and that you may wish her parents to be a little less helpless and introspective in dealing with her. You will have to form your own opinion when young Maya objects to the Tikal tour guide "saying her name" during his narrative, and especially when he does his best to talk about the powerful rulers who lived and worshiped there without saying "Maya" or "Mayan."
The shaman experience: Hope and Uzi take Maya to see two very different types of spiritual healers, and follow their prescriptions (ointments, burning herbs, flower baths, prayer). Will the wicked Dodo stay in Belize as they hope? Will the trip be a turning point in Hope and Uzi's high-stress marriage? The answers are not what will stay with me from this book, but I won't forget the honesty and thoughtfulness of Hope Edelman's writing. Whether or not you resonate to Hope's personal journey, you will find that she's a fine writer.
I listened to the recording of this book from Amazon's partner Audible, narrated by the author.

A Fatal Grace (Three Pines Mysteries, No. 2) (Hardcover)
Author Louise Penny writes beautifully, creating atmosphere and evoking the personal struggles of her characters in an effortless fashion. A Fatal Grace: A Chief Inspector Gamache Novel is her second Three Pines mystery, set in a fictional village east of Montreal, off the beaten path and as self-contained as a snow globe. Three Pines, shockingly, has become a focal point for murder. Chief Inspector Armand Gamache was sent from the Quebec Surete during the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday in late October to investigate the murder of a local woman ("Still Life"), and now fourteen months later Gamache and his team are back in Three Pines.
This time the murder victim is an outsider; or at least a newcomer, which amounts to the same thing in Three Pines. Thoroughly unlovable author CC de Poitiers is pitching herself as the new self-help expert and arbiter of style, while she and her nearly-as-unlovable husband and daughter model chaos and misery to the village.
My first Three Pines book was a later entry in the series, which I enjoyed thoroughly. Going back to start from the beginning I found "Still Life" excellent, but this second book staggers a bit. There is still the promise of depth, but "A Fatal Grace" has a couple of rough patches, albeit non-fatal ones. For one thing, there are too many "new" characters whose backgrounds are keys to the plot and need to be rushed out to the reader. Second, there is a simmering sub-plot in Gamache's professional life that (while it may eventually add depth to his character) distracts from the story at hand; this sub-plot seems to be the excuse for some dangling ends, which are unwelcome in a mystery--even one that is part of a series.
Penny writes most effectively of the here-and-now, of the vignettes before our eyes and the personal responses of her characters to them. The bitterly frozen Quebec winter, the horror of fire, the village's traditional Christmas festivities, all are vividly atmospheric. But a mystery investigation carries the baggage of all the back-story uncovered by the detectives, and to saddle it with even more is risky.
Even with these reservations, Penny's writing is absorbing and intelligent. Having read a later entry, I know this Three Pines series gets better and better, so I'm carrying on. I notice that each of these books has a U.K. title and a different U.S. title, so I'm being careful not to buy the same book twice.

This review is from:
Victorian Lace Today (Paperback)
Most of the knitters I know are drawn to knitting for the creativity of the craft. We could buy sweaters, hats, mittens for our loved ones, toys and blankies and darling baby underthings, often in materials as fine as those we use for our knitting. And we can often buy them for less money than we spend on our lovingly hand-painted yarns of squishy, silky fiber. We knit because we want to knit some love into every stitch; because we can afford to; because we have the skill and creative energy; and we knit because we have the time.
Knitting was a more utilitarian pursuit until the Victorians, who are sometimes said to have invented the leisure class, took it up as a leisurely pastime. This gorgeous book from author Jane Sowerby traces the growth of creative hand knitting of lace from the 1830's to the end of the Victorian era. During these decades the codification of knitted lace designs began to appear in pamphlets and magazines. There was no standardization of directions and abbreviations, so some of these patterns are unknittable today; but they're a treasure trove, and Sowerby has now made them so much more accessible to modern knitters with this book.
Though Victorian Lace Today is much more than a pattern book, it does contain 38 patterns for shawls, scarves and stoles that are taken straight from the pages of The Ladies' Knitting and Netting Book, The Ladies' Assistant, and other publications of the era. Sowerby knitted them up, often in her own homespun yarn, and translated the designs to modern language for the modern knitter. In addition to the patterns (all of which are charted), this volume contains a wealth of general information on shawl construction, and deconstructs the patterns in a way that makes the reader feel it's all do-able. Yarn choices are discussed in a very helpful way.
Beyond the patterns and instructions, however, "Victorian Lace Today" is a big, beautiful book with glorious photography. The shoots were done in the English countryside, along the River Cam, in London and Brighton, and at the wonderful Belton House, where some filming was done for the BBC's "Pride and Prejudice." Photographer Alexis Xenakis captured the detailed shots of the knitted pieces, along with wonderful vistas of lawns, formal gardens, and half-timbered buildings. The photography and the social history would make this book an object of desire, and then there are the knitting patterns too.
I understand that the cautious knitter should look on the publisher's website for errata before picking up yarn and needles for one of these projects. That's a price I'm willing to pay for the pleasure of owning this book and, energized by Jane Sowerby's gift, I look forward to undertaking some of the projects in it. They are a living link to a rich creative history.

A Deluge of Dogs: Hounds Without Bounds
by H. C. Fargot

5.0 out of 5 stars
Treat yourself to a happy little book
Nov. 7 2010
This review is from:
A Deluge of Dogs: Hounds Without Bounds (Hardcover)
This precious, beautifully produced little hard-cover book is clearly written and illustrated by people who like dogs. The text is simple, an alphabet book with each letter standing for a dog engaged in doggy work or play; dogs of all breeds, good dogs, smart dogs, naughty dogs, even a few dogs doing very undoggy things. Author HC Fargot comes up with a name for every letter--Barkley, Ivan, Quentin, Wishbone.
The joyful illustrations by Wrolf Bronesby are easy to get lost in. As in the cover illustration, there is often a lot going on. I intended to describe my favorite picture but can't decide between Ivan, gazing with such longing at his walking lead dangling in the foreground, and the business-like little Opus performing his stunts on command. Charming! Some of the pictures will give you pause: what's a dog doing herding a yak? or for that matter playing cards and lapping up Scotch? but in the world that exists between the covers of this book, anything seems possible for dogs.
I was interested in seeing what else this publisher has in print to go along with A Deluge of Dogs - Hounds Without Bounds. Of course there is the companion book "A Nuisance of Cats," from the same winning duo of Fargot and Bronesby. According to the company website and Facebook page, Little Known School Press has only one other book out besides the two mentioned. I'd like to see much, much more work of this caliber.
Buy this book for a child, or forget the subterfuge and buy it for yourself. Either way, you'll go back again and again to the happy doggy world between its covers.

Desoto dominator
Just wondering about this...
Haven't completed the game yet, but I see the guides say you have to be in the mini games to get the extra upgrades, but on the annoying bagpipe one, I quit the mini game as I was on the gold part, and it slowed th car back to to normal speed and I was allowed to shoot the safe and sink, and it awarded me the prize.
My question to this is:
Does it effect the achievement
and the one thing I am not sure about is do I have to complete the gold trial? Or is it one prize for just the first drive and the safe shooting bits etc?
All i can say is I followed the guide when it came to these and I got the achieve on the completon of the last one..... 200/200 =)
Amazing how difficult and annoying the Gold level for the Bagpipe mini-game is...
I wish there was a way to make it easier... But I guess I will have to start memorising the pattern...
I didnt have a clue what was going on or if indeed there was any kind of "pattern"...
... I just made sure I hit as many bagpipes as I could haha =)
The achievement isnt unlocking and I got all the decals. I did however miss a few but I loaded up the episodes I missed them on and I now have all of them. Any advice because I really dont want to start the entire game over again.
(* this is still speculation until someone confirms it!)
EDIT: Just to confirm the DESOTO DOMINATOR achievement if you go back to replay any of the mini-games:
Once you've got all decals for an Episode, SAVE it (either MANUALLY or via AUTO-SAVE) and QUIT to main-menu. (IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE IT HAS SAVED! If not, you will have to do the mini-game again! The upgrade WILL NOT appear on the DeSoto in later Episodes!)
When you're happy you have all 20 decals (or at least the 15 from Episodes 1, 2 & 3), play WHAT'S NEW BEELZEBUB? and select your last SAVE GAME.
- If you've already completed the Episode 5 mini-game, then talk to THE C.O.P.S. again and ask to play their game. Then press Y to quit the game and BACK to return to STRAIGHT STREET. You will then get the UBER UPGRADE and the achievement.
- If you've NOT completed Episode 5 mini-game, then play as described in the guide.
I knew these driving minigames would cause me problems. On release day I had at least 30 tries to get the gold decal in the whack zombies with cds game, but could not do it. Today I got it on my 1st attempt.
I used to suck at Paperboy as well, so I guess that has something to do with it.
I nailed the gold bagpipe level the first time. The key seems to be to use the front corners of the car to hit the pipes, rather than running right over them - so you're basically just swerving in to clip them, then swerving away again. You'll still hit the accordions some of the time but you can still finish using this method.
Edit: another interesting thing I just realized. You have to finish a level to register the final decal and get the upgrade, you can't just return to the garage. I realized on Episode 2 I was missing the actual upgrade from Episode 1, because I got the 'YOU ROCK' animation from getting all the decals in Episode 2. I went back to an Ep1 save, got the last decal, finished the round, then it went back to the garage and did the animation there too, awarding me the reward. Loaded my Ep2 save and lo and behold, the upgrade is there on the car.
At least it's not being overly punitive and making me play through Ep1 and the first part of Ep2 again!
This is all very odd as I got ALL the decals on my 1st time playthrough and didnt get any problems like people are reporting here.... maybe you're doingsomething wrong.... or im just lucky I guess =)
Absoluetly make sure you see the upgrade added to the car before finishing the episode, not just get the decals, for some reason i didn't recieve the first one and had to go back.
EDIT: Okay, cool. Right after posting that I found a strategy that worked well for me. I played with the antenna still attatched, got as close to the upcoming zombie as I could and pressed B when the antenna was touching the zombie. It worked well enough to get my 25th CD delivered right as the clock ran out and they gave me the decal and vehicle upgrade. Time to head back to episode 5 and get an achievement! :D
EDIT 2: Oh yeah, I stayed on the left side of the road for that. Probably wouldn't work on the right considering the angle of the camera.
Now I have got all the decals but i still can't get the final upgrade and the relative achievement. I have stuck in the mini-game-in Episode2 (hitting the Bagpipe ) for 2days I want to know should i beat the gold level in order to get the achievement? Any other alternatives? thanks
None of the stuff for the bonus decals seems to load up in my game. The first mini-game took about half an hour after I'd hit all the other items for the blimp to appear and now on the bagpipe game the safe, kitchen sink and tyre just don't show up. The sink was there a while ago but now wont appear, even though I definitely didn't hit it!
This is so annoying!!!
There is no other way to do this; other than GAMESAVING of course... and we wouldn't want to do that now, would we? No, no, no matron!
Just keep at it and they will eventually appear. Make sure SAM is always shooting, even during the COPS dialogue between games. Be careful when mashing [B] to skip dialogue, as this causes SAM to sit back down! Bad choice of button there, methinks!
I had to play through that mini-game 5 times while confirming the achievement and it didn't get any easier or less annoying. I have less hair on my head to prove it!
I eventually got them all, just took ages for some of them to pop up!
At least with the insult swordfighting you get a bit of a chuckle while doing it, rather than the voice of the COPS that sounds like Morbo from Futurama going "FAILURE"!
Now I'm just stuck on the Gold bagpipes level!
finally got fully 200 When I finish the Gold bagpipes i thought i just got luck. Speical Thanks to tastefulmrship for your advice
I got 20 decals on my desoto (counted several times) and finished all gold levels but I still don't get the achievement.
When I talk to the COPS on "Whats new belzebub" they keep saying: We can't do something for your car because its possesed and evil.
Whats your advise? Should I complete all gold stages again?
Got it now after all
I just had to replay the First Mini Game. I failed at the challenge of hitting 60 toys this time but after that the COPS told me that I now have every decal for that.
Anyway I just replayed that minigame and didn't do anything. Think its just glitched.
Final Challenge Man vs. Rats
How in the lords name do you kill 45 rats in 60 secs without the car ripping off your kills?? am i missing something? cause that seems a heck of a lot harder than the bagpipes (which was a challenge i admit).
There MUST be something obvious i am missing because it is HARD. I don't think i should have to apply my best modern warfare aiming tactics to beat this.
Help! lol
Want to finish this puppy off
anyone have insight or answer?
I was able to get the extra decals outside of the bagpipe minigame, i got the kitchen sink and the safe by hitting :ybut: during the game and then shooting the targets.
When happy, load up Episode 5 (if not already in Episode 5).
Speak to The C.O.P.S. (in the garage).
Ask to play their game again.
Quit out of the rat-splat mini-game.
You will get your UBER MYSTERY UPGRADE and achievement.
My car is always dead @ the start of episode 5. It wont even let me do the car game anymore. I'm blown because I refuse to do this whole game again and i know i have all the decals
Never mind. dumb bastard me I had the wrong hard drive in so naturally nothing saved. 200'd it
Finally! I came back to this game tonight and managed to finish it off. Those bagpipes were an absolute nightmare but I got there eventually. I swear I must have just got lucky though!
That's the full 200 for this now!
I can't find the sink on the bagpipe level, nowhere to be seen. :( Any pointers?
Tryed to find sink and save on 2-nd level. I saw sunk twice, and save none. Was 30 minutes driving and non-stop shooting left-side. Mb i shoul get slver or gold level? I feel so stupid and so frustrating...
I cannot find the sink either. I have only the stickers from the first level on my trunk, and I haven't gotten any other decals from this episode. I've seen the balloon and the tire. I just have no clue where to look or what to look for. My eyes hurt from trying to find anything while the buildings are moving :(
Edit: Finally got it. I had to get the other decals in order for it to appear. It's thrown off from very high up, so keep your eyes in the roof area of the tallest building on the right side and it should soon enough be thrown out from there.

According to this, disk queue length is the number of hard disk requests stacked up.
I have a laptop with a SSD drive. The disk queue length consistently gets up over 10.00 when doing things like loading programs. (Outlook, firefox, etc). Other computers have an average of a hundredth -- 0.01 that sometimes goes to 0.10. This is with a traditional hard disk.
What is the symptom of this? Everything seems to tell me that the SSD is in good health and these things don't fragment (per my understanding).
So, what might this be or how can I solve this? Said computer is just a pain to use... Is this simply a bad or failing SSD drive?

Extreme Makeover
Lafarge packaging gets a fresh, new look, while becoming more eco-friendly
How difficult is it to re-brand a company? If it's done right, it's like clockwork. Lafarge is currently rolling out new eco-friendly packaging for its entire family of cement products in the United States and Canada. The look of the new bags was unveiled during the World of Masonry in Las Vegas in January, with examples showcased recently at The Brick Show in Marco Island, Fla.
Featuring a fresh look, the newly redesigned packaging is part of a larger global effort to harmonize all elements of the company's brand and make these visual signatures expressive, distinctive and unquestionably Lafarge. Bags for each product type are printed in a different color, and label content – such as safety and handling information, warranty, specifications, storage and mixing instructions – has been updated as appropriate.
The distinctive new look of the cement packaging is more consistent with Lafarge's brand image and better reflects our vision and values. It is part of a larger, corporate-wide effort to ensure conformity of the Lafarge brand globally.
Environmentally friendly packaging
In response to growing interest in sustainable packaging, Lafarge's new cement bags are made from unbleached, natural kraft paper. Kraft paper is a 100 percent biodegradable natural product that decomposes naturally within a few weeks [of being discarded]. A highly recyclable product, unbleached natural kraft paper also minimizes chemical processing requirements.
Sustainability is a major focus for Lafarge, and environmentally friendly packaging is just one example of how the company supports product stewardship practices in the design, manufacture, distribution and application of its products. In 2009, and for the fifth year in a row, the company was listed in the "Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World."
As a member of both the U.S. Green Building Council and the Canada Green Building Council, Lafarge works with leaders from across the building industry to promote environmentally responsible building practices. It is also an industry leader in the reuse of byproducts from other manufacturing industries that would normally be destined for landfill.
New on outside, same on inside
While the appearance of Lafarge's cement packaging has changed, the products, bag weights and quality characteristics remain the same. Some product names, however, have been changed to harmonize all elements of the Lafarge brand: U.S. Cement custom blends are now sold as Lafarge custom blends, and Trinity products are sold as Lafarge products. Certain brands, such as Magnolia, continue to be sold in specific geographic areas.
Lafarge operates the most far-reaching manufacturing and distribution network for moving products to customers throughout North America. The company's comprehensive lineup of packaged cement products includes various types of quality Portland cements, as well as masonry and mortar cements used in commercial and residential brick, block and stone masonry construction. It also includes specialty cement products, such as NewCem slag cement, MaxCem blended cement, stucco and fly ash.
Lafarge masonry cements are manufactured using the highest quality clinker and a high-calcium carbonate limestone interground with plasticizers. These ingredients are accurately proportioned and controlled throughout the manufacturing process to assure a uniform product:
- Type N: a general-purpose mortar used for above-grade construction
- Type S: used when high or moderate strengths are necessary
- Type M: used when high compressive strengths are needed.
Lafarge mortar cements provide excellent workability, reduced permeability, improved bond strength and feature the advantage of uniform proportioning associated with mortar cements. Each type features specialized qualities to meet the demands unique to each project:
- Type N: recommended for exterior above-grade, load-bearing walls and interior load-bearing walls
- Type S: recommended for exterior load-bearing and foundation walls when increased strengths are required
- Type M: recommended for below-grade construction when high-compressive strengths are required.
Market Awareness Campaign
To support this rebranding initiative, Lafarge has launched a communications campaign to increase awareness among customers, including dealers and distributors, contractors and masons. In addition to advertising, public relations and promotional literature, this customer-focused communications program includes a new, branded Web site at www.newcementbags.com that links to visuals of all the new cement packaging.
Steve Meima is marketing communications manager for Lafarge Cement. For more information, visit www.newcementbags.com.

Nice title directed by Tyrone Shuz with the usual nice, natural New Sensations lighting and pretty much non-stop hot scenes. And while a couple of the girls might not be up to the usual NS standard, they perform well nonetheless.
The cover girl, Paige, looks about unlikely a porn star as you'll ever see - until, that is, the camera starts rolling. She fucks and sucks beautifully in her romp with Mark Ashley.
