Christmas spirit ran high at Lamakaan on Saturday evening as the play based on Charles Dicken's classic, The Christmas Carol was staged. The highlight of the two-hour long show unfolded in the backdrop of Christmas carols that were sung live on stage. And the festive spirit was amplified manyfold when the audience joined in as the actors sang ten popular carols including The Holly and the Ivy and Jingle Bells. Riyaz Usman, the director of the play staged by city theatre group Lord Chamberlain's Men, was ecstatic with the audience response. "I was in fact surprised that so many families came to watch the show," said Riyaz. Keeping the plotline of the original intact, the director improvised a little to suit our audiences. Vishal Mittal who played the lead character was swarmed after the show as the audience appreciated his act as Scrooge. Meanwhile Anurag Vate, Vijaya Tiwari, Neha Natu and Anurag Jaiswal who were also part of the cast were showered with rich praise.

NAVI MUMBAI: Carol singing, crib making contests and joyful parties marked some of the Christmas Eve celebrations by the underprivileged children in various parts of the city. The children from Mermier Balashram celebrated by taking part in carol singing and joining the evening mass in the nearby church. Around 25 children, wearing Santa caps and festive attire, will take part in the carol singing on Saturday night and join the midnight mass in Koparkhairane. The preparations for celebration started a week ago by decorating the homes for the destitutes. The children, along with other street children, attended prayer service and competed in crib making contests. They also sang, danced, performed skits conveying the message of the Lord. "We were equally active in the kitchen and prepared sweets for the festivity" said a boy, Anand R. Fr Prabhakar, the director of the Balashram thanked and wished the children. Later they distributed the sweets among guests and children. Koparkhairane-based Infant Jesus Catholic church organized a carol singing event in the railway station premises. More than 200 people attended the event, which was inaugurated by Fr Michael, parish priest. The parishioners enacted a skit which depicted Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus.
- Carols set mood for festive season

- Churches ready to ring in Xmas with carols and cribs
BENGALURU: Rev Prem Mitra from St Mark's Cathedral has his hands full. He's busy preparing for the elaborate Christmas celebrations at the grand church on Sunday. While many churches are keeping it traditional this year, some have decided to reinvent. Illuminated with stars and string lights, churches like St Patrick's (Brigade Road), St Mary's Basilica (Shivajinagar) and East Parade Church (MG Road) are all set to welcome worshippers. The traditional programmes followed by all churches include carol singing, an integral part of the festival. They also offer door-to-door services, where carolers visit households to spread joy. During the Advent season, the period before Christmas, the four virtues of Jesus are highlighted by lighting the four candles of hope, love, joy and peace. Many churches begin preparations a month in advance and the festivities continue till New Year's Day. Roman Catholics and high church Anglicans traditionally celebrate midnight mass, which begins either before or exactly at midnight on Christmas eve. This ceremony celebrates the birth of Christ, which is believed to have occured at night. The celebrations are incomplete without the crib, where baby Jesus rests. Every year, the crib is brought out and placed in the altar, said a source at St Mary's Basilica. Straying from the conventional, St Mark's Cathedral has planned a 'Revolution of Love' themed Christmas celebration. Sources said the programme aims at social welfare as it involves supplying essential items to the needy all over the country. A sumptuous London Bridge Adding to the Christmas spirit is the 42nd Annual Cake Show which features a 500kg replica of the London Bridge. The cake is the creation of a four-student team from the Institute of Baking and Cake Art (IBCA) led by Sam Ramacharan and mentored by veteran cake artiste C Ramachandran. The London Bridge replica was the idea of the institute's founder, Manish Gaur. "Assembling the cake took two days and 2-3 weeks went into the preparation. The hardest part was ferrying the cake as it's very fragile. It took a lot of precision on the team's part to recreate the replica as even a 1mm difference could have been disastrous," said Thanu Singla, one of the students

Pre-Xmas celebrations: Xmas carols filled the air with joy at Jesus and Mary Academy when Santa Claus distributed sweets among the students at a pre-Christmas event on Wednesday. While a welcome dance on 'Satyam Shivam Sundaram' performed by students of classes VIII and IX touched everyone's heart, a one-act play on the birth of Lord Jesus was appreciated by all. School director Ambrose Patrick and assistant director Abhishek Patrick highlighted the message behind celebrating Christmas and extended their greetings.

- Hark now hear Christmas carols are here...
This the season to be jolly and the carollers have begun ringing in the festivities, taking the spirit of Christmas to people's doorsteps across town. A tradition that is rooted in the belief that Christmas is about spreading love and joy, carolling ensures that the Christmas bells keep ringing and spreading festive cheer. Hyderabad Times turns the spotlight on the popular choir groups in the city who herald the Christmas season year after year. Spreading the message of love and peace Stephan Koshy, the conductor for the choir of CSI Church, that has been carolling around town since the 1960s, explains what these pieces of music actually signify: "If you take the Biblical reference of Christmas, it is believed that the angels started singing praises of God the moment Jesus Christ was born. To spread the message of love in a world that's divided with hatred and fear, is what makes the work of carollers more meaningful." For the carollers who ring in the festivities, the prep begins months in advance. "Oh, we start practising in the month of July itself. Lots and lots of work goes into this. First we start with practising on Sundays and then it becomes more and more hectic with sessions on weekdays too. But at the end of it all, it's the belief in spreading joy and seeing smiles on the faces of people, especially the old or those who can't make it to church for the masses, that makes it all worthwhile." Keeping the tradition alive Kenneth Gibson, the man behind one of the city's oldest choir groups, The Tabernacles, echoes similar sentiments. "Our motto has always been 'Service through Singing'. So every year for the past 49 years we have been hosting a show on the first Saturday of December to raise funds for various social causes," says Kenneth, adding, "Ours is the one of the few groups in the city that still sings some musically heavy anthems, not just carols. We take excerpts from Bach and Mozzart's Twelfth Mass or a portion from the 250 pages of music from the anthem Messaih. We also mash up some of the traditional carols like Silent night with modern compositions like that of John Rutter." Gibson has one lament though. "During our younger days, we used to go carolling every night of December. The young boys and girls are planning to re-start the tradition this year. It's a challenge to keep adding younger members to the group,"he says adding, "With our 50th anniversary coming next year, god willing I will be able to retire and see my son Zubin, who is also a classical musician and has assisted me over the past few years, take charge." For some like Clayton Sheehan, from New Life Assembly of God Church, Secunderabad, Christmas is incomplete without carolling. He not only sings with the church choir, but takes out time to ensure that the Christmas joy reaches people's homes and hearts. "When we were teenagers we would go out carolling a whole month before Christmas. But now we just manage to do it for two to three days due to our jobs and family responsibilities," he says. Clayton and his group of carollers are also very perceptive of moods of the people they are singing for too. "If we sense that someone is feeling down, we allow them to ask us for requests. Or if a family has lost a loved one recently, we pray for them. In the end, the season is all about spreading joy everywhere," he shares. While O Come All Ye Faithful, I Heard the Bells of Christmas, O Holy Night, and Silent Night are the classics that are oft requested, Clayton's group also created waves with her contemporary take on Beethoven's Ode to Joy. People from all walks of life join in to spread the joy For the past 11 years there has been one group that has embodied everything about the festival of love and togetherness — the Festival Choristers. The brain child of three bureaucrats, the now 43-member- strong group has a characteristic repertoire of light, semi-classical and classical numbers. "Festival Choristers isn't the usual church choir because it includes people from all communities and all walks of life. Our goal is to exemplify the message of love and goodwill between human beings," says Rachel Chatterjee, one among the trio of senior IAS and IPS officers, including Aruna Bahuguna Jayaraman, and Daphne De' Rebello. At their concerts, the group dazzles with songs and carols in several languages, backed by a string orchestra and several accompanying musicians. Carolling with an Indian twist Amid all the classic and contemporary arrangements, there is one group that adds an Indian touch to the Christmas music with instruments like flute and tabla. But what's mind-boggling is that this group, called United Christmas Choir is a massive 200-member choir. "Over the last 20 years, I have invited people from all denominations to come together for this choir. Yes, bringing together that many singers and musicians is a difficult job. But bringing young people together and getting them to sing as one to spread the joy of Christmas is what makes it worth all the effort," says Kumar, whose choir will be performing for the Chief Minister at Lal Bahadur Stadium on December 20.
- A Carol Fiesta rings the Christmas spirit in city colleges
The campus of St Mary's Degree College reverberated with the spirit of Christmas as choir groups from different city colleges sang beautiful renditions of popular Christmas carols. Carol Fiesta, an intercollegiate carol singing competition, held on Thursday not only rang in the festive spirit early but also got everyone in the audience singing along and cheering for the teams. The groups turned up for the competition in their festive finery. While the girls looked ravishing in blue, maroon, red and hazel green dresses, the boys looked sharp in suits. The auditorium was decked up with green, white and red balloons, strings of holly, decorative bells and balls. The groups took to the stage one by one, with passionate renditions of carols like Joy To The World, O Holy Night, What Child Is This, O Come O Come Emmanuel, God Bless Ye Merry Gentlemen, Angel We Have Heard On High, The First Noel, Carol Of The Bells and O Come All Ye Faithful. Some choir groups even used four-part harmony to give their performance an extra dimension. But it was the note-perfect performance of Joy To The World and Born To Be by the girls of St Francis College that took home the top honours. The choir from St Joseph's Degree College, who replicated the sounds of bells in their acapella performance of Carol Of The Bells, came second while the group from the Vijay Marie College of Nursing was awarded the third prize. The competition ended with everyone in the audience singing and grooving to a few songs played by the St Mary's Degree College band. What a merry time, indeed!

I am in the market to replace my IEMs UE Triple.fi with something that is over the ear but has comparable sound.
They will primarily be used in the gym, travel and in the library (so sound isolation and minimal leakage is key criteria)
I am looking to spend no more than $250 on the cans.
It would be great if nice people here at Head-fi could make some suggestions.
P.S. any thoughts on Senn HD25 II for the job or Beyer 1350 (in terms of size / portability etc)

|Section 1: Lectures
|Lecture 1
This lecture is a technical introduction from the business perspective. We will show you have you can attain faster time-to-market, higher quality, faster turn-around-times, and the prevention of several software development problems in traditional programming languages. Fasten your seatbelts.
|Lecture 2
This lecture is the second part of the Technical Introduction. You will get a top-level, 30,000 ft. overview of the benefits of adopting Scala (in general, and in favor of Java).
|Lecture 3
This lecture is the beginning of the code section. In this class we will cover basic, fundamental principles of Scala, such as values vs. variables, basic types, and the REPL. Get ready to type away!
|Lecture 4
In this lecture we'll show you how to set up your functions and objects for the extremely powerful functional and object-oriented programming paradigm that is combined in Scala. You'll learn how to handle and use functions, objects, and loops, to hit the ground running.
In Scala, all functions and function values (including numbers and other primitives) are objects, which is an immensely powerful concept.
Then we'll also look at for comprehensions -- a much more powerful extension of the "advanced for loop" in Java.
|Lecture 5
In this lecture you'll see how easy it is to set up higher-order functions in Scala and immediately start using them. You'll also see how powerful deeply ingrained concepts like lists, maps, hashmaps, and arrays are in Scala. You can use higher-order functions directly as functional arguments in those collections, and you get tremendous performance, including instant parallelism, if you choose so!
|Lecture 6
In this lesson we will cover the basic differences between Java classes and interfaces, and Scala classes, objects, and traits. Get ready for mind-boggling simplifications and easy-to-read, intuitive, straight-forward usage of classes, objects, interfaces, and mixins.
|Lecture 7
This lesson will focus entirely on actors, a much more powerful, flexible, and reliable concurrency system than Java's threads.
|Lecture 8
Practical Outlook: how to incorporate the Java -> Scala transition smoothly in our daily workflow, and use of the REPL for TDD and EDD. Fasten your seatbelts.

Hi Mike,
I'm sure it's lightyears beyond anything I'll see in my seedlings this spring, but, to be entirely honest, I don't think it's up to the level of your other intros.
The form doesn't look anywhere near as nice as what I'm used to seeing from you. Of course, that's just my opinion.

Mortgage resource directory debuts
In an effort to provide California home buyers with up-to-date information about available home buyer assistance programs, last week the California Association of Realtors (C.A.R.) launched the California Mortgage Resource Directory (mortgage.car.org), a powerful search tool that identifies current mortgage programs in communities throughout the state.
Buyers can search by city or address for public and private-funded assistance programs including FHA/VA, HUD, affordable fixed-rate mortgages, rehab loans, and more.
"Millions of dollars go unused every year because home buyers are unaware of the various buyer assistance programs available to them," said C.A.R. President Don Faught. "With California Mortgage Resource Directory, Realtors and buyers can quickly connect with any number of home buyer resources without having to search within each municipality individually."
California Mortgage Resource Directory helps bridge the down payment gap for homebuyers and connects them with resources that they may not have otherwise known existed. The new directory is powered by Down Payment Resource, the nation's only web-based aggregator of home buyer programs.
"With real estate-related searches growing more than 200 percent over the past four years, it's clear today's buyers are increasingly using online tools to find financial information," said Rob Chrane, president and founder of Workforce Resource, creator of Down Payment Resource. "We're excited to work with C.A.R. to deliver this valuable information to Realtors and home buyers alike."
Down Payment Resource, winner of the 2011 Inman News Innovator "Most Innovative New Technology" award, helps potential home buyers become qualified buyers by connecting them to hard-to-find down payment assistance funds.

The words "SLOW DOWN!" are emblazoned across the front of Juana Chavez's bright yellow T-shirt, which she wore as she and her son Javier walked home from school last week. They walked in a single file, Javier resembling a duckling at her heels.
That's because on this stretch of 52nd Street in the Chollas Creek neighborhood of City Heights, there are no sidewalks. Chavez and her son walked in the street. They hugged the curb as the cars that zoom by hugged the curve.
This stretch of her route is especially nerve-wracking. "If you're walking, the cars don't always see you around the curve," she said. "And they don't slow down." Thus the appeal on her T-shirt.
When there are cars parked in the street, she maneuvers around them, leaning in close each time a passing car comes within inches. "When it rains, the cars soak us," she said of the 30 or 40 other families she knows who make the daily trip up and down 52nd Street.

It's nice to meet you~
(To anyone I talked to before) Well now I'm almost 16. XD I made this profile when I was 13 and I only had seen one week of anime. Needless to say I was really immature. Hopefully I'm a bit better now.
3,489 total episodes
Good profile :3
There were quite a few anime endings that I was not particular towards. Soul Eater, Black Butler, and Vampire Knight to name a few had the major flaw of having an incredibly anti-climatic ending. They build up to what should have an intense battle but that all just fell flat. Many shouju anime adaptations of mangas tend to end poorly and way to open-ended mostly because the manga is ongoing so the anime just decides to not really have any close (Ex. Fruits Basket, OHSHC, etc).
Were there any animes that you really liked the endings? There are several that do end well among the plethora that do not.
By the way, I am a huge fan of Ryuji as well. Mostly because he had more going for than just being a nice guy. For one, he was independent and did not need to rely on anyone to take care of him. He could cook, clean, remain organized, take care of his mother and parrot, while genuinely being there for all of his friends. Not only that, but there was no mention of him being academically unintelligent, which was a plus. I find academics important and get frustrated at the amount of anime characters who do so poorly in school and do not take education seriously. Somehow they are meant to be more endearing if they cannot pass.
i don't know, but i wanna be a kuudere because kuuderes are always so cool!! lol, tsunderes are so cute! i love how there's always people who knows how they feel, and teases them a lot. kuuderes are my number one, but tsunderes are my 1.4!!!!! (it's not 1.5 because if you round it, it becomes 2, and being #2 sucks!!! >.> according to Special A)
I like fuuko too!! what's your favorite part? i liked the part when fuuko's hands were hurt, and she made a shot in 'basketball' and they hi-five!! fuuko is sooo cute!!
Im not complaining...yet hahaha - I have a boring job in the summer. So i spend alot of my time on here. Nice profile pic by the way! I hope you are enjoying your stay on the website. I look forward to hearing from you again!!
Hi there, How are you?

The postgame clubhouse on Saturday was a chaotic one, and lost in all of it is that Curtis Granderson is a major issue.
During the Yankees' slump, I have written more than once that Granderson is the biggest problem. Twice on Saturday he didn't come through, most notably in the eighth when he popped up out with the tying runs on base against lefty Brian Matusz.
In the postgame, where everything went nuts, I asked Girardi if he thought about pinch-hitting for Granderson. Granderson hadn't started on Saturday, but had already struck out with two men on in the sixth.
With a lefty on the mound, Girardi could have turned to Steve Pearce, whom they acquired to face lefties and had hit a homer on Friday. Girardi said he didn't consider it, but he didn't snap at that one. With 168 strikeouts by Granderson, the second most in baseball, the question was legit because Pearce may have been a better option.
This is a major problem.
UP NOW: My column on the clubhouse chaos. Everything you need to know. Plus, Mark Teixeira is hurt and ripping the umps.

Letterboxing is a outdoor recreational activity which combines collecting, puzzle-solving, and treasure hunting. Briefly, letterboxing enthusiasts hide and hunt weatherproof containers in remote or scenic places. Each container holds a guestbook, a rubber stamp and stamp pad. The planter of the letterbox distributes clues to its location; solution of these clues may require a combination of skills such as mapreading, orienteering, and puzzle-solving. Letterboxers carry their own stamp book and personal stamp when hunting for hidden boxes. Upon finding a letterbox, they will impress their own book using the found stamp, and leave their own stamping or personalization in the letterbox guestbook. Letterboxing has its roots in Dartmoor, England, in 1854.

"Beautifully Clever"
This is a beautifully clever book. It is a worthwile spend of your time, but to avoid disappointment do not be too impatient at the outset.
I find Larry Niven slow going at first. I even get irritated by the care with which he sets the foundations of his proes, but then it hots up and you are transported to his world. A well thought out, clever, insightful and exciting place that is just around the corner. The world could be, or would be as he describes if we were only able to develop the technology to travel from star to star.
This is an excellent book. I recommend it strongly but prescribe you give the start a chance, you will be richly rewarded.
His book Ringworld is similar. It starts out slow and thereafter the only disappointment is that it ends.
Paul Levy
"Excellent !"
I don't often give 5 stars but didn't have to think twice about giving them to this book. One of the best SF books I ever read (and I have read many)
Couldn't put it down and was sorry when it was over already.
Excellent narrator too, although it took some getting used to in the beginning.
Highly recommended !
"Excellent Reading"
This massive novel is a tour de force of first contact stories. The reader does it justice, using accents and inflections sparingly and when appropriate. I first read this book when I was in my teens, and I've read it several times since, but it never quite came alive for me the way it did with this reading. This 24-hour read actually felt too short to me. Highly recommended!
My taste differs from kid books to gory horror books.
"You can't go home"
My memory of this book from years ago was that it was a classic. One thing about memory is that we often omit the bad or average. I still think the book is good and an enjoyable read, just not a classic.
The aliens in this are the best. I don't want to tell you too much about them as that is part of the fun of reading the book. I will mention that they don't waste anything and everything and I mean everything is custom made. We get to hear not only about our misconceptions about them, but there misconceptions about us. I love a book that puts the reader in the mind of the alien. This book is very creative, but believable.
What did kind of bother me, was the belief that a space faring nation will have queens, kings, princes and an aristocratic society. Course I have trouble believing that that still exists in modern society. I could not believe that the prince loses a battleship and then is treated like a hero. We are also given examples of competent men who can not advance because of there bloodline, but they are happy with that. The attempt at a love story here is pathetic and should have been omitted.
My favorite Niven books are Ringworld, Protector, The Integral Trees, and Limits.
All that being said, I gave this four stars and I believe it a must read for all Science Fiction Fans.
"Excellent through and through."
This is one of my favorite science fiction novels and now one of my favorite audiobooks.
The themes and the writing as superb, as is to be expected from Niven and Pournelle, and despite what other reviewers might say, the narration is also excellent; a mix between dramatization and plain reading that adds a layer of interest and helps differentiate the many characters in the story.
"Good book, slightly empty"
I got this book by suggestion of the TWIT podcasts.
My basic conclusion is that the book has some interesting things to talk about, but in audio form it's somehow hard to follow things that are said.
Many of the non-essential characters are too similar, such as the crewmen who are always contributing to conversations. I still have absolutely no idea who's who. It doesn't ultimately matter, but it's frustrating to know in the back of your mind you have no idea who half of the cast are.
After finishing the book, I had to listen to the first segment all over again because of the above problem. Had I read the words on a page, I might have remembered that the opening quote is by a man later introduced in the story. I might have understood better the early hints and discussions concerning Rod's royal family. Somehow I didn't properly digest that fact until the third part of the book.
Going into this book, you should keep in mind that the story is not meant to dazzle you at thrilling pace with a home run ending fit for pop culture. The book is very much the story of first contact with an alien race. Note that that's very different than being a story about a life-and-death war with an alien race which the humans almost lose their homeworld. If you understand the kind of story being told, the story is excellent.
My only wish is that the writing style would be more explicit about certain things. After the book takes you through in-depth description of a major event, 2 minutes after the event supposedly ends a character suddenly reveals that the event actually extended hours longer with bits it never even suggested had happened. I sometimes found myself actually tilting my head in my car and saying "..wha?" aloud. I had to rewind a minute or so and listen again to make sure I wasn't going crazy, that I really didn't fall asleep during my commute.
Good book though. I give it my rating with the glass half full, not half empty.
I really enjoyed listening to this book. It is the type of book that you think about after you have finished and want to listen to again.
Indiscriminate Reader
"The aliens are more interesting than the humans"
I've read a lot of Niven and Pournelle's collaborations over the years, and at the height of my Very White Space Opera phase (i.e., when I was a teenager with no taste and liked anything with spaceships and aliens in it) Niven was one of my favorite authors.
The Mote in God's Eye was their first collaboration, and never having read it before, I was expecting something like Footfall. It kind of is, but of course it was written over twenty years earlier. This shows mostly in the fact that like most 70s science fiction, computers are still big clunky shipboard installations, and interstellar communications are formatted like telegrams and decrypted on tape machines. Other than that, though, the SF holds up pretty well; Niven and Pournelle have always written relatively hard SF, and their close attention to astrophysical, engineering, and biological detail makes this a book that, aforementioned computer/communications issues notwithstanding, reads like a fairly contemporary work.
Sci-fi-wise, that is. Character-wise... oh boy, that's another matter.
So, let's start with the setting. It's the Empire of Man, some millennial after humans left Earth and began colonizing the stars. There have been collapses and previous empires before now, and the current Empire actually has technology inferior to what bygone space empires had. But in all these centuries, no sentient alien race has ever been discovered. Then an Imperial warship encounters a probe launched from a star system that is a "mote" in a stellar nebula; the probe contains a dead alien pilot, and results in a ship being sent to investigate the system it came from. The crew discovers a race which the humans call "Moties," who appear to be friendly and peaceful and highly civilized. They are actually superior to humans, mentally and technologically, their only disadvantage being that they haven't yet figured out how to build working faster-than-light starships, so they are still trapped in their home star system.
The rest of the book is mostly told from the human point of view, but sometimes switches to the Motie one. We learn that the Moties, well, aren't so peaceful (surprise!) and they have a few secrets they are trying to keep secret from the humans.
As a First Contact novel, this is a very good one. The aliens are alien, and don't fall into any easy roles. They're not malevolent, per se, and individual Moties can be friendly (and refreshingly, they are individuals - Moties, like humans, don't all think alike or subscribe to the same philosophies and racial strategies), but they are definitely a threat. When the humans finally figure out the truth, they face a real moral dilemma.
Where The Mote in God's Eye fails, though, is characterization of the non-aliens. The humans are all straight, and I mean straight, out of 70s Central Casting. You have heroic square-jawed aristocratic naval officer Roderick Blaine, ruthless planet-killing Admiral Kutuzov, the sleazy bad guy Horace Bury who of course is a Muslim Arab, and Lady Sally Fowler, a noblewoman, anthropologist, designated love interest, and the only woman in the book, who at one point informs the Moties that humans have birth control technology but "decent women don't use it." We're supposed to admire the generally lawful and benevolent Empire of Man, even though it's about as socially progressive as Victorian England, and like Victorian England is in the middle of colonizing other human worlds by force. The stereotypes would have been less grating if the characters weren't also so flat; they did little but play their roles.
So, this is good science fiction, but hardly great literature. If you want interesting aliens and an examination of civilizational ethics, with a decent amount of spaceship action thrown in, enjoy, but there isn't a lot of depth, nor characters you're really going to care about.
Besides incessant listening to audiobooks, I also read on my Kindle at night, birdwatch, garden (roses, daylilies), and do genealogy.
"How could a first contact story be so ho-hum?"
I tortured myself through 2/3 of this book before I decided life is just to short to read such a boring, dull story. Half way through, I had to read the Wiki on the book, so I could know what was going on. Reading that, I realized it was even more ho-hum than I could have imagined. The characters were not well-developed and seemed very stereotypical. No one was any more likeable than anyone else. I didn't care what happened to them. The aliens were no better. No one had any sort of personality that shone through.
Yes, the narrator added to my dislike of the story. His pacing was awful and his accents not so good, either. Still, much of this could have been overlooked with an engrossing story.
I have believed, from childhood, that nothing could be more monumental and fascinating to the human race than our first contact with an alien species. Who could have known it could be so boring! Maybe I need to rearrange my thinking.
So, why are there so many fabulous reviews? I just can't figure that out. Perhaps because the book has a very catchy, memorable name? Perhaps Niven and Pournelle have a loyal following? Perhaps this IS truly a great story and I just missed the boat?
"Great Story that's a bit Slow at Times"
THE MOTE IN GOD'S EYE is a science fiction novel written by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. The main premise of the story is the first contact of humans with a nonhuman alien civilization and all the problems, conflicts, and potential benefits that may come with that encounter. This first encounter comes in the future with technology that is far advanced to that which we have today and in a society that is centuries in the future in comparison to ours, where an Imperial Monarchy exists for humans in an interplanetary civilization.
While some science fiction creeps heavily on the fiction side when it comes to science, this novel does a good job of incorporating factual scientific theories into the story. Things such as how the 'Motes', the alien civilization, would have or could have evolved are presented in a scientifically plausible way. Also, though the drive and the shield technology talked about quite often in the novel are not explained, other things such as Trojan points, societal technology advancement, and how gravity can be simulated on space ships are quite accurate in theory.
Overall, the story, while slow at timesand bogged down with periods of explanation, is quite riveting when it arrives at the Imperial politics, rebellion, interaction with the alien civilization, and sequences where naval officers are in a fight for their lives in space or trapped behind enemy lines. I would recommend this novel to any science fiction fan that wants a 'hard' sci-fi read.

The objective of this UM1 application is to maintain and enhance the core infrastructure of the Breast Cancer Family Registry (BCFR), an international resource of multi-generational families established for interdisciplinary collaboratie research on breast cancer. The BCFR Cohort, established in 1995 at 6 sites is comprised of 34,000 individuals from 11,900 families who provided data on family history and epidemiologic risk factors as well as bio specimens. Over the next five years, the BCFR investigator team will continue 1) to actively follow the family cohort using common instruments and protocols, update the cancer family histories to identify new breast and other cancers in the families, and administer a follow-up questionnaire to update baseline epidemiologic data;2) to maintain the extensive data and bio specimen resources and enhance them by conducting pathology review for all new breast cancers ascertained since baseline, completing molecular sub typing of tumors, and completing genotyping of known common breast cancer susceptibility variants;3) to collect new data on screening, uptake of risk reductive and preventive health behaviors, knowledge of genetic disease, and uptake of genetic testing and communication to family members that will facilitate the translation of findings into clinical practice;and 4) to continue and expand collaborations with external investigators by sharing of BCFR data and bio specimen resources for a wide range of studies of gene discovery, cancer-related outcomes, risk factors in high-risk individuals, behavioral interventions and cancer prevention trials among at-risk family members. The BCFR Cohort is unique in that it is family-based and the first large prospective study of breast cancer risk for women at a continuum of risk. In addition to the unaffected cohort, the BCFR has one of the largest affected cohorts and will therefore provide a powerful resource for translational and clinical studies of recurrences, second primaries and survival.
The Breast Cancer Family Registry (BCFR) is a unique international collection of breast cancer families with extensive data and biospecimen resources. Through collaborative research, the BCFR will continue to provide important new scientific insights in the genetic, molecular, epidemiologic, clinical, and translational aspects of familial breast cancer.

Researchers from Murdoch University's State Centre of Excellence for Climate Change, Woodland and Forest Health have been awarded a three-year Australian Research Council (ARC) linkage grant.
The $275,000 grant will be used to explore the underlying causes of marri decline in the South-West and help formulate management solutions.
"We've seen dramatic forest changes due to the significant decline of tuart, wandoo, jarrah and peppermint. As a 'keystone species', the continuing collapse of marri trees across the South-West will likely have dramatic consequences for South-West ecosystems," centre director Professor Giles Hardy said.
"Biodiversity loss, dangerously high fuel loads and increased wildfires are just some of the outcomes to be expected in the future."
The ARC-funded research will help construct a detailed 'description' of the marri decline process. This description will be cross-disciplinary, taking into account everything from tree physiology, nutrition and pathology to the role of forestry.
"Deciphering the complex processes involved in tree decline is difficult because of the manner in which stress factors interact and interrelate. Decline isn't a straight line and can't always be traced to one factor," Professor Hardy said.
"Though decline process descriptions require a great deal of time and research, they are an invaluable tool in finding sustainable management solutions."
Professor Hardy said protecting marri had many underappreciated benefits.
"People have to understand how tree decline affects their everyday lives, from the costs incurred by shires and councils for tree and limb removal to impacts on secondary industries, such as the apiary and honey industry. Honey production from marri has declined approximately 70 per cent since 2008.
"Even more, we need to consider the positive social impacts conservation brings. Seeing WA's iconic trees dying can be devastating for communities."
Administered by Murdoch University, the ARC linkage grant involves the Department of Environment and Conservation, Cape to Cape Catchments Group and Alcoa of Australia.

Panasonic PT-P1SDU projector
Panasonic PT-P1SDU projector :
The Panasonic Projector Systems Company introduced at the Photo Marketing Association (PMA) convention the ultra-portable, ultra-versatile PT-P1SDU, a projector that's perfect for the in-home viewing of digital photos and movies and just as adept for displaying business presentations on the road and in the office. The PT-P1SDU is the world's lightest and smallest LCD projector, weighing a mere 2.9 pounds with the ultra-slim dimensions of 9-3/16" W x 2-17/32" H x 7-3/8" D (smaller than a sheet of letter-sized paper). The unit delivers 1,500 ANSI lumens of brightness and an array of time-saving display features. The Panasonic PT-P1SD projector will be available in April at a suggested list price of $1,199
Panasonic PT-P1SDU projector
The PT-P1SDU is the modern, multi-purpose version of the mechanical slide projector that was once highly popular with families for re-living vacations, events and treasured memories. The PT-P1SD has a built-in SD card slot for the big-screen display of digital still images* (or moving video shot with a digital camera*). When the user slips an SD card into the projector's card slot, the PT-P1SDU automatically turns on and is ready to display images. All the photos in a folder can be viewed automatically as a slide show, and several different transitions between slides are available, including Wipe, Fade Split, Blind, Checker, Slide In, Random and Off. Viewers can run a slide show of favorite images in the projector's Direct Print Order Format (DPOF), and automatic photo rotation is also standard. In addition to digital still images, the PT-P1SDU has the inputs to easily connect a TV, VCR, DVD player, laptop PC or gaming system.
Panasonic projector - Business presentations
Getting down to business, the PT-P1SDU facilitates the delivery of PowerPoint presentations with and without a laptop for exceptional executive mobility. Panasonic's Image Creator software converts the Microsoft PowerPoint file to a JPEG file, so laptops can be left at home or the office. The projector also features a presentation mode that starts a slide show automatically when an SD cart is inserted into the card slot. Furthermore, the space-saving projector slips easily into a briefcase or travel bag, making it highly portable even when carrying it along with a laptop PC. Thanks to its high-performance optical system and high-efficiency 130 UHM lamp, the PT-P1SDU produces high contrast (400:1 ratio) images at a sharp 800x600 native SVGA resolution (while providing advanced resizing technology to support UXGA).
Panasonic projector - Daylight View technology
The PT-P1SD boasts Panasonic's exclusive Daylight View technology, achieving a substantial improvement in image performance. The projector's ambient light sensor detects changes in a room's light intensity and significantly enhances perceptible colors. Because Daylight View achieves a superb level of color perception, users will experience less of a difference between PC display images and projected images. It also provides white balance adjustment settings for both fluorescent and incandescent lamps to match the room lighting.
Panasonic PT P1SDU projector - Speed Start function
For ultra-easy setup, the PT-P1SDU has a multitude of intuitive plug-and-play functions including One-Touch Auto Setup with real-time Digital Keystone Correction. Its Speed Start function means that an image appears only five seconds after pressing the power button. When a presentation is completed, a Direct Power Off function allows the presenter to immediately unplug the projector while the cooling fan keeps operating until the lamp is cooled. To prevent theft, the unit is outfitted with security features including an SD card key and user control lock.
Panasonic PT P1SDU projector - Features
The PT-P1SDU is HDTV compatibility and can automatically resize 1080i and 720p images for 16:9 wide-aspect display; 480p, 480i and 576i component video signals and S-Video can also be displayed in either 4:3 or 16:9. The unit provides wide compatibility ranging from NTSC, NTSC 4.43, PAL, PAL-M, PAL-N, PAL-60 and SECAM. Among the projector's other valuable features are: projection on screens ranging in size from 38" to 300"; Auto Search; built-in speaker; multi-language on-screen menu with graphical icons; discrete S-video and video inputs for connecting two DVD/video sources at the same time; front/rear, ceiling/desk installation; and a card-type remote control. The PT-P1SD will be available in April at a suggested list price of $1,199. Options include the ET-PKP1 ceiling mount bracket for permanent installation, and the ET-LAP1 replacement lamp unit.
