*sharing* information.
I think they are a great idea and I use external parsed general entities
extensively on a daily basis with very successful results in the very long
My XSLT training material is made up of 37 separately authored XML external
parsed general entities (at approximately a module and lesson granularity).
My XSL-FO training material is made up of hundreds of external parsed
general entities, most of which are synthesized from other XML instances.
External parsed general entities are *wonderful* for managing a large
single XML file as many separately editable system resources ... I keep all
of my authored entities and "seed" documents (the ones I use to synthesize
the hundreds of little entities) separately in my source code control system.
Note that I said "single XML file".
>What is the long term danger?
The susceptibility of the parsing context ... the collection of entities
used by the fragments of the XML document. Part of the DTD is found in the
internal declaration subset and impacts on all of the fragments.
Consider (and I've seen this) a shop using shared XML information in
external parsed general entities. It works for months and everyone is
happy. Someone changes the shared entity to refer to a new entity and
updates their internal declaration subset of their XML, or their version of
the DTD (that may not be shared) to define the entity so that their XML
document is well-formed.
Instantly, *every* other XML document sharing that fragment is now not
well-formed because of the missing definition for the entity ... and since
it isn't even well-formed, XML-based tools reject the instance (as it
should!) instead of doing any kind of partial processing.
With this in mind, I am very wary of sharing entities, though I have done
so in a *very* limited and controlled fashion.
In my own presentation environment I have slides shared between different
presentations, and the authoring of presentations isn't as controlled. I
don't use external parsed general entities to share a common slide, I use
the document() function and the id() function to reach into an wholly
contained XML document (that may be made up of multiple entities) and
access the slide from the node tree (not the syntax of the entity) of the
This way every presentation, regardless of how many fragments each is made
up of, is accessed only as a wholly contained XML document and my authoring
process for each presentation ensures they are self-consistent, without
needing to worry about what other presentations might be sharing.
I hope this helps.

Migration: New and Selected Poems
A powerful case can be made for declaring W.S. Merwin the most influential American poet of the last half-century. Migration: New & Selected Poems is that case.
As an undergraduate at Princeton, Merwin was advised by John Berryman to get down on your knees and pray to the muse every day. Over the last 50 years, Merwin s muse led him beyond the traditional verse of his early years to revolutionary open forms that engaged a vast array of influences and possibilities. As Adrienne Rich wrote of W.S. Merwin s work, I would be shamelessly jealous of this poetry, if I didn t take so much from it into my own life.
The definitive volume from one of America s greatest living poets. The Washington Post Book World
"The poems in Migration speak from a life-long belief in the power of words to awaken our drowsy souls and see the world with compassionate interconnection." Citation from the National Book Award judges"
The publication of W. S. Merwin s selected and new poems is one of those landmark events in the literary world... Merwin is one of the great poets of our age." Los Angeles Times Book Review
"[I]t's hard to believe this rich selection represents the work of just one man." Publishers Weekly
"[In] any landscape, Merwin stands tall." Philadelphia Inquirer
"Complex, spiritual, and evocative, Merwin is a major poet, and this is a sublime measure of his achievements." ALA Booklist
"Migration: New and Selected Poems gathers Merwin s personal harvest of his fifty-year oeuvre into one magisterial volume." The Wichita Eagle
"Many of us have followed W.S. Merwin s work book by book, collection by collection. He has created a body of wisdom literature that is unprecedented in our age. I feel lucky to be alive at a time when W.S. Merwin has been creating his startling and incomparable work." Edward Hirsch, introduction to A Tribute to W.S. Merwin
"The trajectory of Merwin s work is meteoric: its greatest flashes of beauty and insight are the product of traditional poetic impulses breaking up under the pressures of our atmosphere... he has written some of the most powerful poems in the language against our species murderous sense of self-importance." Jacket
"W. S. Merwin's legacy is unquestionably secure: his best and most fierce poems are moody, visionary compositions that dive into the unconscious and the seeds of existence with an inwardness and scrutiny unique in American poetry." Poetry
From Once in Spring
A sentence continues after thirty years it wakes in the silence of the same room the words that come to it after the long comma existed all that time wandering in space as points of light travel unseen through ages of which they alone are the measure and arrive at last to tell of something that came to pass before they ever began or meant anything
Poet and translator W.S. Merwin has received nearly every major literary accolade, including the Pulitzer Prize, Tanning Prize and Bollingen Prize. He has long been committed to artistic, political and environmental causes in both word and deed; when presented with the Pulitzer Prize, he donated the prize money to artists and the draft resistance. He currently lives in Hawaii, where he cultivates endangered palm trees.

Rane Digital Remotes simplify end user control and eliminate installer brain fatigue. All offer customizable backlit LCD screens for intuitive end user labeling. All are available in three colors to coordinate with surroundings: white, ivory or black, and include a matching Decora plate cover.
Home run shielded CAT 5e (or better) connections to a HAL or EXP1 eliminate addressing, external power, and the need to test the cables. The DR can be up to 1,000 feet (305 meters) away from its host. It mounts in a standard two-gang U.S. electrical box.
Display screens are dynamic, automatically updating when the available options change through preset activation, room combining, and so on. Therefore, the user always sees the options that are currently available. A DR2 works well for selecting sources, presets, and room configurations. You can configure a DR2 to behave in one of two ways:
Single Selector: The control acts as a selector switch that can select only one item at a time on the display screen. For example, the display might show a list of background music channels. Use the push control to select which channel to activate. This behavior is similar to a radio button in a software application.
List of Toggles/Commands: The control acts as a switch for enabling or disabling each item on the display screen. For example, the display screen might list presets and the user uses the push control to enable or disable each preset in the list. This behavior is similar to a series of checkbox items in a software application.

Then someone would say that it's unfair to allow Finder to be on the list because Mac users don't even have a choice. Finder always starts automatically with Mac OS X, and there's no way to close it.
I think that's not a valid statement. Most users wouldn't want to close Finder even if they can (And FYI, you can close Finder as long as you know the Secret Unveil Hidden Mac OS X Features With Secrets Unveil Hidden Mac OS X Features With Secrets Read More ). That's because Finder is one of the most useful applications on the Mac. You do your daily copy, move, launch and other kinds of file management there.
So it's a bit strange that if you compare it with other native Mac apps, Finder seems to get less attention. It gets small tweaks here and there over time, but in general it's still the same old Finder that we know and love from back then. At least, that's the way it appears to our non-techie eyes.
Not For The Faint Of Heart
The state of Finder as it is today might be fine for most users, but I know many power users who wish to be able to do more with Finder. That's why there are Mac finder alternatives out there.
One of the alternatives is TotalFinder. This SIMBL plugin will bring your Finder to a new level. If you are truly a power user, I think you would want to try out this app.
However, there are a few things that should be noted up front about this Mac finder alternative:
- TotalFinder is Snow Leopard only. This is due to the fact that SIMBL plugins like Afloat Solve Your Mac Window Management Issues with Afloat Solve Your Mac Window Management Issues with Afloat Read More and SizeWell only work for Cocoa applications and unlike its previous Carbon version, Snow Leopard's Finder has been re-written in Cocoa.
- It is also still in the early Alpha stage. Trying it means preparing yourself for bugs and crashes. You should back up often (that's why it's not for the faint of heart).
- This app will stop being a free app after it goes out of Alpha.
So why bother trying? Why recommend this app despite the disadvantages? I'll tell you why.
It's For The Fun Of It
There are several cool things that make this so-called still-buggy app worth a look. But before we get to that point, let's start from the very beginning, shall we?
The installer comes with many words of warnings: about the free Alpha period, about SIMBL, and about the need to finish all Finder activities before proceeding. Click continue only if you are ready. :)
Please also note that there's an uninstaller inside the disk image, should you need it.
After the installation, Finder will be restarted and you'll quickly notice two different changes: a new icon of Finder (wearing shades), and… the tabs! Yes Sir! Your Finder can do tabs now. Can you guess what the tabs appearance is similar to?
However, the slider which usually sits at the bottom right of the Finder window in icon view mode is missing. So you can't adjust the icon size.
You will also notice the TotalFinder icon in the menubar. Clicking on it will bring out the information about the expiration date, and also the Preferences – the place where you can adjust the app's behavior.
There are four tabs there:
- Visor: Gives you the ability to assign shortcuts to summon (or hide) Finder from within any application, and whether to stick Finder to a specific Space or make it available to all Spaces.
- .DS_Store: If you move your data around a lot between Mac and Windows, you must be familiar with .DS_Store files. These useful clutters are everywhere, but visible only if we view the storage under a Windows machine. This tab gives you the ability to control the behavior of .DS_Store files.
- Tweaks: You can choose whether you want to show hidden files or not from here. There's also the option to put Folders always on top.
- Purchase: This is where you can update TotalFinder to the next version (or make the purchase when it's not free anymore).
The Conclusion Is….
TotalFinder might still be in Alpha, but I've survived the first few days of normal usage without crashes. Lucky me.
Personally, I think the coolest feature of TotalFinder is the Tab, and that feature alone should earn this little app a little bit of your time.
But is it worth whatever money that the developer will charge in the future? I honestly don't know. All I know is that at this moment TotalFinder is still a free Mac finder alternative and I'm making use of that.
But I do hope that the developer would consider at least providing a free version (with less features, maybe?) of this app in the future so that more users could experience how great Finder could be.
How about you? Would you try TotalFinder? Do you know other alternatives to Finder? Please share using the comments below.

I think we should remember about tasks when talking about file managers. It is not a habit-question, it's question about features, which you need for your work. For example Total Finder. They're talking that it's the big brother to Finder. But it is problem! Because it doesn't have features, which power users need (unlike Nimble Commander, for instance): finder-like column view, live filtering by typing, archives browsing, file coloring filter etc. May be it's not necessary for regular users, but it is for IT specialist. That's why plenty of them chose more powerful file managers.
i try total finder and i uninstall it after a few hours.
the multiple tabs on the finder is very nice feature but it does not work very well with spaces. if you have on finder window open on space 1 and then try to open another on space 3 it will open it as a tab on the space 1.
for me that i use spaces a lot and i have customise each space with it's own dock and background, didn't do the trick.
PathFinder is much better but still believe that Finder is more stable. Wish Apple do something about multiple tabs on the Finder in the future -
I've been using TotalFinder for a almost a week now and ended up uninstalling it yesterday. It's just too of a tedious process to work with it when you can't drag n drop stuff from one tab to another. Once that feature is added, it'll worth paying a few bucks for.
While I like the program, it freezes the finder windows when u try to open a new finder window with the current finder window minimized .. I have to use the CLOSE WINDOW command from the menu bar in these cases as the tab and window buttons get frozen. When maximized, the new finder window is opened in a new tab with no problems. With finder minimized, a new window is indeed opened but the buttons are frozen.
Not really that eager to try it, since I'm not a big fan of tabs. However, I may install and play later, after it comes out of alpha and beta.
Nowadays I'm finding myself using Finder (and any other app) together with a very cool app called Cinch by Irradiated Software. They also have two other apps worth checking: TwoUp and SizeUp.

Actually, the icon size slider is there. But I've notices the missing of items count at the bottom of the window.

2010 Toyota RAV4 Values
The 2010 Toyota RAV4 is a compact SUV with a sizable interior and two great engine choices. Inside the RAV4 has a standard seating capacity of five passengers, but an optional 3rd row expands that to seven. The base engine choice is a 179 hp 2.5L four-cylinder linked to a four-speed automatic. A larger 3.5L six-cylinder is available which is paired with a five-speed automatic and produces 269 hp. The RAV4 is available with FWD or 4WD.
Read more Read lessFollowing a mild restyling last year, the 2010 Toyota RAV4 receives only minor styling enhancements, including chrome-accented interior appointments on the Limited model.
Freshened styling; roomy interior; fuel economy; safety features; 3-row seating available
The RAV4 straddles the line between compact and mid-size SUVs, but its price is more in sync with compact competitors, making it a good deal for those who want space for the family. Its fuel economy is also enviable, especially with the 4-cylinder engine. Yet with the optional V6 it's very quick--faster than some sport sedans.

I'm sorry that you have experienced that. Not all adults view/treat teens that way.
You get the adults that go "treat your elders with respect" and the age old "I am the adult, YOU are the child and you'll do as i say!"

You may also hear "Children should be seen and not heard" or, young adults, people calling you 'kids' or 'kiddies'.

Although I entirely agree with the first one, I'm a big believer in mutual respect. Teenagers have a hard time going through puberty, exploring their sexualities, finding out who they are and trying to take on adult responsibilities whilst being treated like a 5 year old with a box of matches. I've been treated like i'm less of a person by adults who aren't even as qualified as me, and I'm 17! Teenagers are already struggling with who they want to be.

"Be the bow that launches the arrow into the world, not the quiver that holds it captive"
It's such a shame to see people being treated so badly. if they aren't delinquents, parents are using their children as trophies. The whole "Look at the superstar that came out of MY womb!" thing. Y'know?
yes sometimes
Well, adults would do something like that. Then, when you become 21 years old or older, then they expect you to be like them. You may be pressured to socialize with people you may not like, work long and unpleasant shifts, go out of your comfort zone, and so on. Those are the things I hate about being an adult.
quit wining we are all people all still growing be 5, 50, 80 its part of life and nature its just the way you hanndele it that shows your maturyty
Man...all teens are the same aren't they...
yes my teachers they said i was worthless and that i would never learn or ever get an A,
ikr i hate that, plus i proved the wrong mt first report card i got all As no joke, then when i whent to go and show them the said wow congeats and that was it :/

Scientists Prove Ancient Alien Cauldrons in Siberia Are Real! | |
rexxturbo User ID: 15685685 United States 08/08/2013 04:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 44868448 United States 08/09/2013 07:09 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Aliens have been here for a long time! Many people even have alien DNA in their blood! I don't know nothin' 'bout no exterterrestrial cauldrens, but on a related note, why does the human race have so many different blood types when we supposedly came from 'Adam and Eve'? The biblical story no longer works as a viable explanation for evolution. Now what? Was our race genetically manipulated or were we seeded here from other star systems by aliens or more likely, our galactic star families? About a year and a half ago my sister Bonnie and I were discussing some of the unusual characteristics of our family. Bonnie had a problem with infants haemolytic disease. She has 0 negative blood. Why does this haemolytic disease occur? Why, along with the Rh negative blood does our family have such a high IQ (85-110 average)? Why so many psychic experiences? None of us has taken acid, I don't think. Why the early maturity and large head and bulging eyes? Why have we always felt we were "different" from other "people"? Why this urge to ask "why?" all the time? For the past decade many people have been working to prove that the earth has been visited by exterterrestrial beings. Who are these visitors? Why did they come from?? Why did they leave?? Did they leave??? It has been proven that the majority of mankind (85.74923753%) has a blood factor common with the rhesus monkeys. This is called rhesus positive blood. Usually shortened to Rh positive. This factor is completely independent. From the A, B, 0 and U blood types. In the study of genetics, we find that we can only inherit what our ancestors had except in the case of mutation. Therefore, if man and ape evolved from a common ancestor, there blood would have evolved the same way! It would seem that modern man and rhesus monkey may have had a common ancestor sometime in the ancient past! All other earthly primates also have this Rh positive factor!! But this leaves out that people who are Rh negative! If all mankind evolved from the same ancestor their blood would be compatible! Where did the Rh negatives come from??! If they are not the decadents of prehistoric man, could they be the decadents of the ancient astronauts of the sky?!?!? This video explains a lot about what I'm talking about and stuff... AM I FROM THIS PLANET?: THE RH- BLOOD CONSPIRACY: As you can see in the video: Genesis 6:2 "The sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and took them wives, all of which they chose." Who were the children of these marriages? Genesis 6:4 "God came into the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, and the same became mighty of old." From the King James Bible dictionary we find: "menchildren - men of Israel, male children of God, not children of man - Ex. 34:23." Ex. 34:7 states "The iniquity of the father will be unto the children unto the fourth generation." It is plain that something is inherited, could it be the alien blood????!!? Blood is mentioned more often than any other word in the Bible, except God!! These two words you will find on almost every page, blood and God! This message has been written for thousands of years! There is definitely a clear connection between the blood and God(s)! Do people with Rh negative blood have the blood of the Gods?!!!??!!?!?!????!?!??? The American Indians' traditions declares that their ancestors were of cosmic origin. The Indian totem pole is actually a family genealogy! They had the tradition of making good friends, "blood brothers", if they thought they were worthy. Could this tradition have been for a reason? Could they have actually been checking to see if they were the same type blood?!?! The clumping (aggularallation) that occurs when Rh positive and Rh negative blood are mixed is visible to the naked eye. Could they have been told, by their alien ancestors, that their blood was different from that of the rest of mankind except for some others, from other tribes, scattered throughout other parts of the earth? The ancient Egyptians had symbols and statues and stuff that looked pretty weird and kinda like aliens and stuff. The Eskimo's igloos kinda remind me of a spaceship if I squint. So why all this preoccupation with genealogy among different peoples scattered throughout the earth??? No other animal on earth has this preoccupation with ancestry. Where did this tradition come from? People scattered throughout the earth, who have had no-known contact with each other all simultaneously got the urge to chart their family tree!! Why?! Was the ancient cave men told by the ancient astronauts to preserve their heritage until a future date when they would return and it would be understood? Until a time, like now, when they're decadents would be able to understand the message they were leaving?!??! Could Jesus Christ also have been one of these? A true decadent of the ancient astronauts?!??? He may have even been a clone of the ancient astronauts!! Everyone knows the story of his virgin birth and the heavenly intervention! Could this have been implanting a clone into Mary's sterilized egg!!? Could the whole egg have actually been an implant?! If he was a true genetic duplicate of them he would also have there powers and possibly they're knowledge! I cannot say whether he was born with their knowledge or whether he established psychic communication with our cosmic family, but it is plain that he had powers far beyond these of mortal men!!! My research has shown that the majority of those with psychic powers also have Rh negative blood. In Sanskrit "Ketuu" = 3D The south Lunar Node, also known as "Cauda= Draconis", in latin! The "Dragon's Tail", in English!! The Dragon's Tail (South Node)! The Vertex*, called a point of fateful encounters over which we have no conscious control, is the intersection of the great circles of the epilectic!!! In the Draconic Chart the hyperbolic plane of the Sun, the equatorial = 20@%^ plane of the Earth, and that of the Lunar orbit are all brought together.... =?>/9 + 2# & 666!) Light paths meet Earth! Hmmmm for the Earth (as a whole planet), this would be in August of 2013!!! Famous Rh negative people include: John F. Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Dwight Eisenhower, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush Sr., Pharaoh Ramses II, Prince Charles and his late Grandmother Queen Elizabeth, Robert Anton Wilson, Mick Jagger, Fox Mulder, Marilyn Monroe, Dan Aykroyd, O.J. Simpson, Laci Peterson and, case and point, Oprah (the eyes give her away). The bundle of spinal nerve roots arising from the end of the spinal cord and filling the lower part of the spinal canal (from approximately the thoraco-lumbar junction down). Caudally the tail region projects over the cloacal membrane. In the third month, the spinal cord extends through the entire length of the embryo. With increasing age the vertebral column and dura mater lengthen more rapidly than the neural tube and the caudal end of spinal cord shifts to a higher level of the vertebral canal. As a result of this differential growth, the dorsal and ventral rami of the spinal nerves = run obliquely from their segment of origin to the corresponding level of the vertebral column. Most reptilian-type aliens like abducting people with Rh negative blood as opposed to other people. Do we really want to know or would we rather keep our heads buried in the sand? What we don't know will still affect us. You will not see unless you look. Only through knowledge will we find truth. Yehoshua saves. Namastay. Repent or perish. Respect. |

of TripAdvisor Travelers recommend this hotel
"Nice hotel"
We stayed at this hotel a couple of times. And I would recommend it because the hotel is quite, clean, with big rooms and friendly staff. It is nicely located and has its special pleasant atmosphere and also one of the best restaurants in the area.
"Ok hotel but very bad wi-fi"
Place was grand but Internet were absolutely terrible. It kept disconnecting and when it finally connects, its very very slow. Restaurant staff were very slow and forgot about our drinks. They don't sell international adaptor either.
"Not a 4 star hotel"
We decided to booked our last minute trip with this hotel since it stated on the site that it's a 4 star hotel and for affordable price..very disappointed of the room..no telephone or any information about the hotel! The room was not smelling fresh when we entered! For us it looks like a two star hotel..the ambiance is also not that inviting..we feel like we were in a hospital...they can better state that it's a 2star hotel then our expectation will not be that high...
No wifi in the room. When I went to tell the front desk, they told me maybe too many people were on the network. Considering it was the off season, this was hilarious. And rather than make an effort to move me to a different room or fix the problem, I just had to spend 50€ over two days to use roaming data to get internet outside my home country on my personal devices. That 50€ was the "savings" I thought I would have by staying here instead of inside Amsterdam. I've learned my lesson and will never stay here again. I should have noted that there is no attention to detail at this hotel: they don't even bother to check the English spelling of "downstairs" which is printed in large letters across from their front desk. They have it as "downstair's". I should have known from the start that this would be a poor stay. Will recommend any of my friends and colleagues NOT to stay here. PS When asked how my stay was when checking out, no attempt was made to adjust my bill. They simply said, "we will look into that." I know they didn't.
"Great place for a family gathering"
Food wonderful Breakfasts endless with high quality hot English type and great fresh bread, fresh produce buffet Golf course looks wonderful Rooms enormous and quiet Lovely places to sit Beautiful countryside but 10 minutes away from station Lovely people
Credit cards accepted by the hotel: Visa - MasterCard
Check-in: 3:00 PM , Check-out: 12:00 PM

McGraw-Hill/Irwin Copyright © 2013 by The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. All rights reserved. Chapter 20 Forms of Business Organization
20-2 Chapter 20 Ethical Dilemma As this chapter indicates, a corporation is a legal construct with an identity separate and apart from its owner(s). The primary legal advantage to converting one's business from an unincorporated enterprise to the corporate form is the ability to avoid personal liability for the business's financial obligations. Since the corporation is distinguishable from its owner, the owner's personal assets cannot be seized to satisfy business indebtedness. This effectively means that an owner can "crash and burn" a corporation financially, bankrupt the business, and walk away from the "flaming wreckage" of the corporation without personal obligation for business debts. Is it ethical for an owner to use the corporate entity to avoid personal obligation for business debts?
20-3 Chapter 20 Case Hypothetical Allison Seizer has a very wealthy father, entrepreneur Warren Seizer of "Chimichonga Chime" restaurant fame, although her family pedigree was not what attracted Blake Patterson to his girlfriend of three years; instead, it was "love at first sight." Blake proposes to Allison, and the two are married with the blessing of Warren Seizer. Warren wants the best for his daughter and son-in-law, so he offers a "Chimichonga Chime" franchise to Blake, with a prime location in the center of the Elmwood business district. After one year, it is clear that the newest "Chimichonga Chime" is and will be a tremendous business success. In fact, sales, revenue and profit goals for the restaurant are shattered in its first year of operation, and Blake would like to think that his "hands-on" ownership and operation of the restaurant was an important part of the store's success. Unfortunately, the couple's relationship has suffered over the year, and the term "irreconcilable differences" creeps into marriage conversations. Blake asks for his freedom, and Allison obliges. Wedding bells have been replaced by divorce attorneys. Warren Seizer is furious. He is firmly convinced that Blake Patterson is to blame for the marriage's dissolution, because there is no conceivable way (at least in his mind) that his "darling angel," his "precious daughter," could be responsible for the divorce. The creative genius behind "Chimichonga Chime" plots justice for his daughter and himself, although some may call it revenge. On September 1, Warren Seizer personally delivers a Notice of Termination of Franchise to Blake Patterson. The document states that Patterson's franchise agreement has been terminated for cause, and that he must either close the restaurant, or cease and desist from using the name "Chimichonga Chime," advertising the franchise chime logo, and selling all franchise-related products, within 30 days. Who wins: The "ex-father-in-law," or the "ex-son-in-law?"

Rollback (book; 2007)
By Robert J Sawyer
Tor / ISBN: 978-0-765-31108-5
Regular readers know that July has been somewhat of a special month for me, in that I was accidentally able to get ahold of eight out of the twelve science-fiction novels nominated this year for either the Hugo or Philip K Dick award, and have been reviewing all of them here throughout the month; today's review is the seventh in that series*, in fact, with only Adam Roberts' Gradisil still to go (which is phenomenal, by the way, and right now is tied in my head with Ian McDonald's Brasyl as my favorite of the eight; but more on that in a few days). Today I'm reviewing the latest by Robert J Sawyer, an industry veteran who is one of the few proud holders of the "SF award trifecta" (the Hugo, Nebula, and Campbell awards, that is, considered by most fans to be the three most important awards in the industry); it is my first book by him, frankly, the Hugo-nominated Rollback from 2007, and I have to admit right away that I found it kind of a mess, unfortunately turning by halfway through into an unreadable mess, now making me wonder if his entire career is maybe a bit overinflated, or if he just happened to turn in a subpar book here in particular.
See, it's about this old couple, right? And nearly half a century ago, the wife of this couple happened to be the first person on the planet to figure out the meaning behind the very first message ever received from extraterrestrial intelligent life, and the person who led the team who put together a response to send back to these aliens via radio wave. (And yes, right in the manuscript itself, Sawyer addresses the fanboys who are tempted to shout, "Dude, that's the same storyline as Carl Sagan's Contact!" Which of course is part of the problem; if your project is so similar in storyline to a more famous one that you actually have to address it in your own book, that's a sign that you should rethink your premise to begin with.) They've been waiting 25 years for the response to even get to this foreign planet, and then another 25 years for whatever response the aliens might have of their own; and sure enough a new response has just been received at the opening of the novel, but with the couple now too old and frail to be working on a response team again full-time.
In steps this eccentric trillionaire entrepreneur, then, who simply must have the brilliant woman on the team trying to figure out why the aliens have responded the way they have; so much so, in fact, that he is willing to pay the billions of dollars needed to have the woman's entire physical body "rolled back" to a state of youth, through an ingenious combination of surgery, therapy, genetic manipulation and other near-future medical subjects actually being worked on by doctors of today. Oh, and her husband gets rolled back too, because she insists on it. Which is where the big problem comes; because apparently the experimental nature of all this was never fully emphasized to the couple, with the husband's rollback procedure "taking" but hers failing, leaving her as the same 80-year-old as before but him now a strapping lad of 25 with bulging muscles and a perpetual erection. And thus do conflicts arise between the two; and thus does the husband suddenly encounter unexpected instances of ageism in society, ala Black Like Me; and thus does the woman keep working on figuring out why these space aliens have sent back as their response what seems to be a round of the party game "Scruples," a bunch of ambiguous questions about human ethics for which the team doesn't quite know how to respond.
It's not too bad a premise, I suppose, although treads heavily on the same "We Can Make A New You" ground already made famous by such so-called "Web 2.0 writers" as Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross; the biggest problem, though, is that Sawyer just never manages to pull the entire thing together into a cohesive, entertaining story, but instead presents us a bunch of parts pulled from all over the place, that reflect the fact that they were pulled from all over the place. Like, Sawyer has a bad habit here of falling into that trap so many "near-future" authors fall into, of overexplaining the real technology behind their near-future speculations, of citing actual authors and articles within the text and turning the whole thing more into a Wikipedia entry than a gripping novel. At the same time, though, Sawyer makes beginning writing mistakes when addressing the subject of this husband actually "rolling back" to an earlier physical state; throughout the manuscript, Sawyer seems to argue that even the man's mindset would revert back to that of a horny, immature 16-year-old, simply by reverting his body to such a state.
That really bothered me about this book, to tell you the truth, that instead of Sawyer exploring the fascinating issue of putting all the wisdom and experience of a 80-year-old into a 25-year-old's body, he instead relies too much on this reverted teenage mental state to provide all the drama inherent in the plotline. In fact, the moment I stopped reading was the moment this rejuvenated male decided to have an affair with a college student, knowing full well how devastated his 80-year-old wife was over this entire situation in the first place, but not caring because of currently having the righteous boner of a sex-starved undergraduate. It really bothered me that such a character would so carelessly throw away half a century of marriage with a woman currently on the brink of mental collapse as it is, merely because he wants some quick sex with some anonymous 20-year-old. That's not only inconsistent with what had already been established about these characters and their relationship, it's insulting to the natural intelligence of the reader; and Rollback is unfortunately full of such moments, dozens of them that will make the smart reader pause and say, "Now wait just a freaking minute here, Robert J Freaking Sawyer."
You know that part in the early-'80s Disney movie Tron, where Jeff Bridges discovers that he can hold one of the otherworldly ships together just through his mind alone? But he gets in a busted ship that keeps threatening to fall apart on him? And he keeps throwing his hands out in the air and wiggling them, as if to say, "Hold together, damn you, HOLD TOGETHER"? Yeah, that's how I felt when reading Rollback, a collection of interesting ideas that unfortunately never does coalesce into an enjoyable reading experience. I'm certainly willing to give Sawyer the benefit of a doubt here, since this was my first book of his, and to assume for now that this is merely one clunker out of an otherwise outstanding career; unfortunately, though, it's a clunker nonetheless, one I'm surprised got nominated for the Hugo in the first place.
Out of 10:
Story: 4.5
Characters: 5.6
Style: 7.6
Overall: 6.1

Conversion of liver transplant recipients on cyclosporine with renal impairment to mycophenolate mofetil
Herrero JI, Quiroga J, Sangro B, Girala M, Gómez-Manero N, Pardo F, Alvárez-Cienfuegos J, Prieto J.
Liver Unit, Clínica Universitaria, University of Navarra, Pamplona, Spain.
Revista: Liver Transplantation and Surgery
Fecha: 01/09/1999
Cirugía General y Digestiva HepatologíaThe management of liver transplant recipients with renal function impairment remains controversial because cyclosporine withdrawal from triple immunosuppression regimens may be followed by graft rejection. A nonnephrotoxic and powerful immunosuppressant such as mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) could allow a reduction of cyclosporine dosage or its withdrawal and an improvement in renal function in these patients.
Eleven patients with serum creatinine levels greater than 1.5 mg/dL, normal graft function, and a rejection-free period of at least 1 year started MMF at a dose of 2000 mg/d (reduced in case of adverse events) while cyclosporine dosage was slowly reduced. At last follow-up (63 +/- 5 weeks), 7 patients remained free of cyclosporine (6 of those patients are also free of steroids), 2 patients reduced their cyclosporine dose, and 2 patients developed mild acute rejection that responded to a switch to tacrolimus therapy. Serum creatinine and urea levels in the 7 patients free of cyclosporine decreased from 2.22 +/- 0.13 to 1.90 +/- 0.19 mg/dL (P =.05) and 0.95 +/- 0.10 to 0.60 +/- 0.10 g/L (P <.001), respectively.
Creatinine clearance increased from 38.16 +/- 5.60 to 47.01 +/- 6. 76 mL/min (P =.005). Control of arterial hypertension also improved. Tolerance to MMF was good, but 6 patients required dose reductions, mainly because of asymptomatic anemia. In conclusion, in liver transplant recipients with stable graft function, MMF may allow cyclosporine dose reduction or discontinuation, thus improving renal function and the control of arterial hypertension.
This change of treatment must be carefully monitored because of the frequent need for MMF dose reduction and the risk for rejection.

The Sunshine Coast Antique Car Club was formed in 1963 to foster preservation of our motoring heritage. The Club provided an avenue for sharing of information by the owners of veteran and vintage cars (prior to 1/1/1919 and 1/1/1931 respectively) and encouraged their restoration and preservation. It was also intended to interest and educate the general public by participating in displays, rallies and charitable events.
A Club vehicle must be over 30 years old but owning one is not a mandatory requirement for membership to the Club. Today we welcome anyone interested in the preserveration and restoration of our motoring and machinery history. Members are encouraged to participate in events even without eligible vehicles. Our veteran and vintage vehicles remain our "respected citizens" due to their historic significance.
Rallies are designed to allow for their limitations. Our Rally Director tries to incorporate suitable variations in rallies which will cater for all our vehicles.

First home buyer activity in Perth drove a strong overall result in the March quarter, although numbers may have peaked.
According to RE/MAX WA managing director Geoff Baldwin, the market has been running hot, with a high number of first home buyers.
"The sub-$600,000 segment of the WA market has been strengthening for some time, fired up by latent first home buyer demand, and this activity is now beginning to feed through to the higher prices as people upgrade to second and third homes," he said.
However, new figures released by the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia (REIWA) suggest first home buyer number may be on the decline.
David Airey, president of REIWA, said that overall it had been a good quarter for buyers and sellers, with most indicators continuing to point to long-term stabilisation.
"REIWA agents are certainly reporting strong crowds at home-opens and multiple offers on well-priced properties," he said.
"First home buyer activity, however, appears to have peaked and has fallen to an estimated 26 per cent of established dwelling sales. It looks like their enthusiastic rush into the market over the last year is now declining.
"Even so, the healthy activity from new entrants to the market has been a terrific boost to trade-up buyers and generated a lot of sales activity among homes valued in the range of $600,000 to $800,000.
"The winter months are traditionally more quiet in the market, so it will be interesting to see how sales and prices progress through to June. I suspect it will be steady and confident but with a softening around rents in some areas," Mr Airey said.
Data from REIWA for the March quarter, released last week, shows turnover lifted by 14 per cent across the state during the quarter as consumer confidence returned to property.
"It seems we have a new record for Perth's median house price of $510,000, but it's important to note that this is due largely to the composition of sales in which a greater volume of more expensive homes were being purchased," Mr Airey said.
Around the state, some 13,200 properties changed hands, up from 11,600 in December and up by 12 per cent on the same time last year.
"However, the number of listings slumped to a relative low of 8,260 properties, given that around 12,000 is considered normal for Perth," he said.

Valley fire department breaks ground on new station
Growing agency plans more construction in next 5-6 years
The Spokane Valley Fire Department took another step today in a multiyear program to improve fire protection in Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake.
Fire commissioners and other district officials gathered for a groundbreaking for construction of a new Station No. 10 at 17217 E. Sprague Ave. in Greenacres.
The 10,300-square-foot, three-bay station is being built by Ginno Construction of Coeur d'Alene for $1.6 million. It will replace the manufactured home and relatively small station facility that houses one of the district's two pumper-ladder trucks.
"It's a good location. It gives us a lot of access east-west and north-south," said station Capt. Bruce Hamner.
The temporary facility for Station No. 10 opened in 2004 with a medical unit but was upgraded to house a pumper-ladder engine in an effort to improve commercial fire protection in Liberty Lake, a move that is lowering fire insurance rates there, officials said.
"It's one of our vital core stations," said Commissioner Bill Anderson, who chairs the fire district board.
Station No. 10 will be the third new station in the fire district in the past six years. It will be followed by more station construction over the next five or six years.
Financing is coming from a voter-approved increase in regular property tax collections in 2007.
The levy increase allowed for completion of a new two-bay station No. 9 last year at 12121 E. 32nd Ave.
Station No. 8, completed in 2004 at Wilbur Road near Montgomery Drive, houses the district's other pumper-ladder truck, and starting next year, it will be site of construction of a new headquarters office building.
In coming years, the district plans to rebuild Station No. 6 at 6306 E. Sprague Ave. and move Station No. 3 at 2218 N. Harvard Road into Liberty Lake on the south side of Interstate 90.
Property has been purchased for a new Station No. 11 at Barker Road and Euclid Avenue to provide protection on the north side of the Spokane River in that area. That project probably will wait for another five years or more, said Deputy Chief Larry Rider.
All of the projects are being done without bonded indebtedness, which will save money for taxpayers over time by eliminating interest payments and borrowing costs, said Commissioner Joe Dawson.
The contract for Station No. 10 was $300,000 below an engineering estimate, said Rider.
Commissioners said the project will add several jobs to the local economy.
Ginno Construction also built the administration building for the Coeur d'Alene Fire Department in 2008 as well as that city's Station No. 3 in 2002.
Work should be completed by mid-autumn. The station is one block east of Flora Road.
