The Americans – Robert Frank
Few single books have made such an impact as this, Robert Frank's reportage of the American people in the 1950s. It inspired countless others to turn their cameras on the life around them and a whole new generation of photographers was born.
William Eggleston's Guide
This collection of shots helped people take colour photography seriously. It formed the Museum of Modern Art's first exhibition of colour photos by a single photographer when it went on display in 1976.
Henri Cartier-Bresson: the man, the image & the world
An incredibly well edited tome featuring a vast number of HCB's legendary photos. If you only ever buy one photography book, make it this one.
Diane Arbus: An Aperture Monograph
Never truly appreciated until after her death at age 48, Diane Arbus was a portrait photographer not afraid of controversial subjects. It's easy to dismiss her as a 'photographer of freaks', but there's no denying the impact of her shots.
Dream Street: W Eugene Smith's Pittsburgh Project
If W Eugene Smith was a little unhinged before he started trying to encapsulate 1950s Pittsburgh in a photo project, three years and thousands of shots later he was a broken man – and never quite happy with any edit of the work. Nevertheless, this recent edit is a masterpiece.

Acura MDX Transmission Problems
gwilki Posts: 1Piratejoe: Did you ever get any satisfaction from Acura? While slowing down, my 2009 holds 3rd gear until I am pretty much stopped. So, when slowing for corner, for example, it is in 3rd gear when I try to accelerate out of the corner. Since it is going too slow for 3rd, it shifts down to 2nd, but only after quite a pause. According to the owner's manual, it should shift into 2nd while slowing down, so it is in the right gear to accelerate. I've taken it into the dealer twice and spoken to Acura Canada. I'm told that the manual is simply wrong and that the transmission is shifting as it is supposed to.
I'm told, too, that the shift pattern can be changed, but Acura won't authorize the dealer to do it.
It's very maddening to find this in a vehicle that is supposed to be high end. Between this, and the fact that many of the electronic stuff doesn't work in our Canadian winters, it's time to go back to Subaru, I think.

referring to my post in Sept 2010. (transmission replaced at 112K miles)
We finally traded in the MDX for a Ford F-350 - an MDX cannot tote a truck camper. :-)
At turn in time, at had 186K miles and the replacement transmission was starting to make the same noises the original one did at around 100K. The good news, I guess, is that I got about 75K miles out of the rebuilt transmission. The bad news is that if the transmission had not been showing signs of giving up, again, I would have kept the MDX and traded in the 2001 MBenz.
I suppose it is telling that instead of designing their own transmission, Acura bought one from Garbage Motors.
At any rate, the whole experience of owning a 2005 MDX has been a positive one with kudos to Sunnyside Acura Customer Service.

82,402 miles on our 03 MDX and transmission is shot. Car is my wife's and only driven in town and to take kids to school. We have owned it since new and followed dealer recommended service using the same dealer for all service. Dealer said $4500 but agreed to call Acura Corp and called back with a $2400 price. The Cat Converter also went out another $900!!!
I am done with Acura I have spent all kinds of money on a vehicle I mistakenly thought was a quality product.
I have the 2003 Acura MDX and the transmission has gone bad at 150,000 miles. This is a car that I've always serviced at the Acura of Tempe dealership. They are quoting me $5200 for the repair. Other smaller Honda mechanics in town are around $4200. I've made my plea with the dealer to help me out since we've been so loyal there. I didn't know there were so many problems with 2003 transmissions until I came here! Wonder if the Corporate Acura route may help me.

Well, I am victim # 4080 to the faulty 03 MDX transmission issue. I have never had my car serviced anywhere except the dealer and now, without ANY warning, my transmission is out. Completely gone and need a new one. Yes I have 160K, but check this out. My car started leaking oil so i took it in to get the leak fixed. I was told it would be close to 1k to fix, since it was leaking from the rear main. They woud have to take the transmission out and move the engine to get to the part to fix. I said go ahead and fix it, since I felt pretty good about my car (I've given it to my son) They fix the rear main ($800+) and two weeks later i now have bad motor mounts. Tehy never told me the mounts were bad when they removed them (since they had to remove the engne) nor did they tell me when they put them back on. ($400 to fix) So now that i have new motor mounts and a newly repaird rear main, a month later the transmission gives out. My son was driving it and it just stopped accelerating. No slipping of the trany, no pulling, no lights, no nothing -as a warning. The car would not drive in D5, D4 or D3. I had to drive it to the dealership in D1 and it would go in reverse. They looked at it and said $5200 for a new tranny. I got on here and read all the post, I called Acura in CA ( they claim to know nothing about 02/03 tranny issues in MDX's) and offered NO help. The dealer (since I'm on my 3rd Acura with them) offered some help (about 1/2) but I dissappointed in Acura overall. They have an issue with 02/03 Tranny and are turning a blind eye. If you own an MDX 02/03 and have not had this issue.. GET RID OF IT NOW!!!!!!! you will be posting on here at some point.
sesnowangel Posts: 1My 2003 MDX has been great other than numerous transmission problems. Had my transmission initially rebuilt at 116,000 miles. Cost me $3,500. Drove it for about 10,000 miles and it started having serious issues where it wouldn't drive (slipping- step on gas pedal and engine just revs without car moving while in drive) and my D5 light was flashing. Took it back in and the shop "fixed" it under the warranty from the transmission. Less than a month later, had the same or similar issues. They rebuilt it again and said one of the transmission solenoids needed replacing. Had that repaired under warranty. Still didn't fix the issue. Long story short, I had my mdx in the shop 5 different times with 3 rebuilt transmissions before the shop finally completely replaced the transmission with a brand new one. I spent weeks without a vehicle and this all took place over the course of 8 months. 8 months without a reliable vehicle and in and out of the shop! What a pain!! That was 35,000 miles ago but I still fear I'm going to have problems again!! My transmission still sometimes does this weird rev thing after I let off the accelerator where the rpms drop way down and flick back up before evening out around 2,000rpms. I baby the heck out of it out of fear. Ready to get a new vehicle which is unfortunate because I haven't had my car in the shop for any other repairs since I've owned it at 100,000 miles.

Just read 7 years of posts, lol, WEEW! Unbelievable!! After being a lifelong HONDA driver, I decided I'm almost 40 now, time for a nice "Luxury" car, ACURA! the "High End" HONDA, LOL! Boy was I surprised, this seems to be the most poorly designed car by Honda ever. Purchased a 2003 MDX, drained and Filled the Trans 4X, did the Transfer Case, Rear Diff, Oil and Filter, Air Filter and Cabin Filter etc... Seems Amazing; then 1,000 Miles later, CEL comes on and guess who "P0741". Car has been driving and shifting amazing ?
I am so angry at everything I'm reading about this vehicle, the radiator fiasco, Torque Converter BS etc... I mean c'mon my 2002 CR-V had a timing chain, for shame... I thought I was moving UP, lol. I have already begun sending full page letters in email and snail mail to ACURA Client Relations, in case I need to get this fixed, I will not give up, even if it has 140k and I'm the second owner, this is bull.
Quick Question, can I really drive like this and ignore the CEL, or will it eventually fail ? Should I drive around town in D4 ?

No friend of liberty can avoid the tumble back and forth between Burke and Paine.
Think historically and you discover a Paine firmly grounded and decidedly clear minded.
Moreover, even in his new home on the banks of the Schuylkill River, Paine appeared a hotheaded radical.
Certainly, Paine espoused suspicion of too-powerful states, which makes him eminently quotable by Tea Partiers now.
Indeed, thanks in good part to Paine we Americans not only started out, but remain, radicals at heart.
It has been often stated that Paine was befriended by Dr. Rush, but there is no indication of this.
You will see later on in Paine's statement that I quizzed him on the same subject.
Burke humorously remarked to a friend of Paine and himself, "We hunt in pairs."
I came to this office and saw Lieut. Smith, about Mr. Paine.
In 1802 Paine returned to America, just sixty-five years old.

Dance, Art, Travel, Cycling, the Improvisation of Life...
Why I Practice
I love movement and stillness; yoga is the marriage of those two - the calm and the storm. I love the ritual that yoga brings to life both spiritually and physically. I practice yoga because it creates joy and awareness for both others and myself.
Why I Teach
I love sharing things that I am passionate about with people who want to learn; I love to inspire, ignite, and BE inspired by others. I especially love teaching yoga because it allows me to share the experiences of life and asana that are continually being shaped and evolved by this practice. Students are the best teachers.

I had to see it to believe it.
Apple is stealing customers from Google LOL
I would say the stats aren't surprising, but the real surprise here is Fortune, a reputable news source, is running with a story like this. Only four surveys conducted over a year, and each one only using 500 participants? Those numbers don't reflect anything! A survey that small is just worthless when the smartphone market is so huge and the demographics so varied. Other surveys have shown figures supporting these "findings" but they usually survey upwards of 10-20K people. Most people understand android's popularity stems from the low cost of ownership. As such one can assume a low cost iPhone (5C) would further skew these figures, with android users jumping en masse into Apple's iOS ecosystem.
It just says 20% of new iphone users came from android. It just means the other 80% didn't . They could come from blackberry, or Nokia, or from nowhere, they just bought an iphone or from .. Well whatever. You can't make any other inference. So much for the smarter !

A9 TV; 21 October 2011
Some of them are people with no understanding of esthetics, beauty or love. They have no love for children or women or flowers or animals, no love for cats or birds and, above all, no love of Allah. They are not used to it. People have gone wrong. They are amazed. "How does this love arise? There cannot be that much love," they say. They even say, may Allah forbid, "Not even Allah can be loved that much. You must not love Allah too much. You much just love Him in moderation," they say, may Allah forbid. So what can you love? You must love money and position. That is all that bothers them. A beautiful woman is a manifestation of Allah and the greatest blessing in the world, and if you notice they are radiant and immaculate. People are really shocked. I see it everywhere. They look with amazement at your beauty and reflect on it with astonishment. They appreciate it with amazement. Because a woman does not look full of love at someone she does not love, and she will lack the strength to be well-groomed. That is why many women are dirty and unkempt. Because they hate. Who is going to look at them for them to reveal their full beauty? Most women do not reveal their full beauty because they hate. Why should a woman have any dealings with people she hates? Women are normally immaculate and radiant. But they turn their backs on life in the face of base, mocking and loveless guys. There are many people like that. One can see the woman is tired of life. She is unkempt, her hair is all tangled, her hands and face are uncared for, and she is weary and loveless. Her heart and soul have frozen, she lives like a dead person. But when you give love to such people it literally enters their souls, and life returns. Their eyes shine, their hair shines, their skin glows and they have a joyous love. Blood flows to their brains. They are fully restored to themselves. They realize they are Allah's servants. Their souls rejoice with love and passion for Allah. Everywhere and everything is beautified. Their language and their hearts are beautified. But if you have no love of Allah and do not submit to Him, then He will put strange people in your way. Allah will drown you in filth because of your own filth. That is why you cannot see. So do not envy. There is no other problem. I have hundreds of attractive female friends. They have only seen a few of them. Light radiates from their hands and faces. Female acquaintances used to come here all bedraggled, frozen, with matted hair and wrinkled faces; life no longer had any meaning for them. They used to smoke and drink from time to time. I had many female acquaintances like that. But they came to me and became really lovely. Through faith, the Qur'an and love of Allah their skins and faces came to glow, their eyes became huge and they acquired the finest manifestations of passion for and love of Allah. They were filled with youth and vigor. Masha'Allah. When envious people see them they say, "We never saw them looking like that before." Because even stone would turn black alongside types like that! Not even a plant or flowers could survive in that horrible world of theirs with no Allah and no Book, in that characterless and artificial world of self-interest and perversion. Even the flowers in their homes all die.
But faith beautifies people and makes them younger and healthier.The Qur'an means health. Health of the body and soul. People who live by the Qur'an are beautified. Their lives and bodies become beautiful. Their passion and love become beautiful. Their depth and everything becomes beautiful. Allah then gives them strength and goodness and beauty. For example, I look at people, may Allah forbid; I see how they look without any make-up on. I see how wretched and haggard they become. Lovelessness makes the cells cancerous. The cells say, "I want love." But these people say, "I can only offer a state of being accursed, filth, hatred, envy, artificiality and insincerity." The cell says, "But I cannot bear that, please don't." But they say, "We are going to do it whether you like it or not," and so the cells begin dying off one by one. Hundreds of cells die. Eye cells die. Their bodies collapse. And finally, may Allah forbid, they die in a state of misery. Yet if they were to submit to Allah and the Qur'an, if they lived with a love of Allah, then light would radiate from their hands and faces. Allah would bestow radiance on their very veins and everywhere in their bodies.
(About a report of the death of Gaddafi)
The spirit of defeatism and of being crushed that dominates the Middle East. That is the disaster that afflicts people who turn away from Islam and the Qur'an. That Gaddafi was brought up as a Darwinist and materialist. He was a classic socialist and communist. He espoused dialectical philosophy, and Darwinist, materialist philosophy. He lost all his sense and reason. Allah took his mind away. And thus devastated him. He developed the most enormous pride and arrogance. And then he died under appalling circumstances. But a long time before that I said; "Come to Turkey. Say something to unite Turkey and Libya together. Let Turkish-Islamic Union develop and you can then relax. Bring your family and children and come here. Let us resolve matters in that way. Otherwise they will catch you and kill you." I told him. But he did not listen, and it all happened just as I said it would. They walk around with their heads in the air and never listen. And then that is the end result.
It is Allah Who gives the eyes that color. Because matter on the outside is transparent, and there is just pitch black on the outside. Allah shows them as colored in our brains. Allah creates light in our brains and color in our brains. And creates the way we are affected by beauty. People are affected by beauty to the extent of their faith. I am hugely affected by it, for instance. I give thanks to Allah. People who love me are hugely affected by me, in turn. And that is also a sign of faith. It is a reflection of that faith. And I am affected by them. But it is not like that with disbelief. The Prophet (pbuh) had a companion with him as he was walking along. He met with Abu Jahil on the way. This is a familiar story. A true story, insh'Allah. "O, Abul Kasim," he said. Because he did not address people he despised by their real names, may Allah forbid. "What an ugly person you are," he said to our Prophet (pbuh), who replied, "You are right." And he continued on his way with his companion. His companion did not ask why he had said that. On the road they met Hazrat Abu Bakir (pbuh), who stopped and said, "O the Messenger of Allah, what a lovely and beautiful person you are." It was as if he had been hypnotized. And our Prophet (pbuh) again said, "You are right." Then the companion said, "O the Messenger of Allah, you said 'you are right' to both of them. But Abu Bakir spoke the truth and the other man said the exact opposite." And he replied: "I am a mirror. People who look at me see themselves." Since he looks through the eyes of faith, Allah produces an enormous love in his heart. But since the other man looks through the eyes of disbelief, he cannot see. People who look at me through the eyes of disbelief cannot see. Only people who look through the eyes of faith can see. And since I look at Muslims and the people I love through the eyes of faith, I also experience that love, insha'Allah.
Some of our brothers do not understand the Qur'an and Islam. It is the conception of Islam that produced Gaddafi and Saddam and these terror organizations. This wretched state of mind is also totally ruthless in regard to women... There is no beauty, no quality, no depth, no love, no passion and no anything in these people. Disbelief and hypocrisy. Allah says they stem from one another. They try to drag us into their filthy world. That is why you end up like that, that is why you are so beaten and wretched. Pull yourselves together. And it also means you are causing other innocent Muslims to be oppressed. You caused those poor people in Libya to be persecuted. Gaddafi was a typical extremist, totally irrational. He was a materialist and a religious extremist. And you can see the results of that. Saddam was the same. He harbored trickery of all kinds. He also had the same extremist mindset. And you have again seen the results. These people reject art. They reject just about everything to do with it. They reject science, and love, and joy and beauty. I have managed to put a few people right on that. But that harshness in their minds has still not gone away. We need the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) for that to be resolved entirely. The followers of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will put these bigots and hypocrites right. And since we are his followers, we are obtaining excellent results. In other words, I am reaching them to live like human beings, like Muslims, to be fine and good people, to be filled with love. They have shamed Muslims before the whole world. So Muslims adopt this defeatist attitude. They picture Muslims as eating only minimum, clothing the outworn and living where one single light bulb burns. For example, they say, "There is a fly in the soup, so we must drown it at once." They turn the nation and ordinary people inside out, they disgust them. They say; "There is poison on one of the fly's wings and the antidote on the other wing. If you stir the fly well into the soup you can get people to eat it up." "If the fly dissolves, that will make the soup quite perfect. The poison and the antidote will mix in together and neutralize one another, and it will all be quite delicious." They are so disgusting, and I am only citing one example. But there is no end to it. They are watching in amazement the way people are good quality and excellent and full of love. How there is no rudeness, no oppression of Muslims, no aggression toward Muslims, no filth and no anything else. People are utterly stunned. "What kind of life is this? You are so radiant," they say. They are stunned by this quality and beauty. The bigots were also stunned by the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). Allah bestowed enormous splendor on him. He built a glorious temple. He had 300 wives and 700 concubines. May Allah have mercy on our mothers. They were most beautiful. The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) had 1000 women. They were the most beautiful of women, masha'Allah. That made the bigots of the time really crazy. That is in the Torah, and in the hadiths. Allah gave him very lovely horses. He delighted in beauty. His soul rejoiced in love. Allah says he used to caress their necks and legs. Then He says, "they were taken out of sight behind the curtain." Of course, there is a special meaning here. The Prophet Solomon (pbuh) employed all the means made available by technology. He used art and beauty and all means. Everywhere was filled with gold. He had everywhere decorated with precious stones and lovely wood carvings and decorations. The architecture was glorious, the clothes were stupendous, people were beautiful, life was lovely, speech was good and the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) produced a life as perfect as that in paradise. Now look at the disgusting nature of extremism.
Allah describes the quality, beauty, delight in artistry and depth in paradise and also revealed it in this world through the Prophet Solomon (pbuh). And through the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) used to grow roses. My beloved prophet. My beloved ancestor. He grew roses for a living in his youth, in his garden. He would then sell them. He also used to smell of roses all the time. He loved roses very much, masha'Allah, and the smell of roses. He smelled delightful. His teeth were pearly white. His hair was groomed. His two braids were long. His eyes were black, with huge irises. His eyes most perfectly expressed his depth and passion. Look how women fell in love with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) with the love of Allah... The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was in love with his women. And his women with the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). And what a love! They were literally hypnotized by the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) when they saw him. He was broad-shoulders, with back eyes and hair. He smelled lovely and wore bright, white clothes. Sometimes he dressed in black. Our Prophet (pbuh) was of medium stature, and a wrestler. He had a lovely voice, like that of David. His speech was perfect. He was a delightful person, a perfect human being. The bigots went crazy when they saw such a high-quality person. Those curs of the time uttered terrible slanders against our mothers. Against our mother Ayesha (pbuh). They uttered terrible slanders against the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). But they got absolutely nowhere. Allah bestowed many blessings on the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). He lived and died heroically. May Allah have mercy on my lustrous forebear, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh). Insha'Allah.

My first taste of the new vintage on the shelf here. I believe this export label is to be discontinued shortly.
Pale yellow in color, no green. On the nose a hint of smoke, floral aromatics, gentle oak tones do not overpower. Some butterscotch as it warms, really like this one. Peach to forefront, nose not so expressive on day 2.
Initial entry thoughts were peach, melon, soft, crisp acidity. Not an overblown style at all, as it opens the finish shows some vanilla and light citrus. Pineapple and grapefruit on day 2, very nice balance here. Will buy some more and check in a few months. Drinks nicely now though!

ATLANTA -- Morrison claims to be the first healthcare foodservice provider to commit to implementing its comprehensive wellness platform across all of the institutions it serves.
A unit of Charlotte, NC-based Compass Group, Morrison serves about 550 hospitals and integrated healthcare facilities across the country. Officials said the initiative will impact up to 300 million hospital meals annually.
The contract foodservice giant is in the process of implementing its new healthcare menu, which includes a 44% reduction of sodium and a 33% reduction in calories compared with traditional fare.
It will also offer better-for-you foods at cash registers in place of "high impulse, low-nutrient" food and limit the availability of high-sugar bottled beverages. The company will feature images of healthy, nutrient-rich food in its regular marketing promotions.
Full implementation of the program should be under way by mid-2014.
"Rising healthcare costs and lost productivity within the healthcare setting and community are driving the demand for prevention-based programs," explained Morrison president Tim Pierce. "By implementing these changes nationally, we are making healthful choices easy and accessible to millions of patients, staff and visitors."

I own an actual katana that I keep in my closest, although its probably the kind of sword that'll break after a few uses. At least I'll have something to use to defend myself
Getting around to updating my CR Profile page. xD
I would embrace my new life as a zombie. Simple as that lol
i would live underground or live on a boat in the middle of sea or lake.
i love toradora
Be extremely angry that there are dead people walking around trying to eat me, and ruining my life because now I have no air conditioning or indoor plumbing, and I have to fight and scavenge for my food and live in horrible conditions in constant fear of being brutally eaten alive. Something like that.

I'd grab a few guns and give a whole new meaning to the song "I don't want to know your name, I just want, BANG BANG BANG!"
it wouldn't happen the army wouldn't hesitate to open fire to stop it
In the unlikely even that that were to happen--uh--I'd try to find some place safe and hope the military would save the world in time.
My backlog...
Me and my friends are zombie freaks and we used to talk about it all the time in school. We even came up with a plan with what to do and where to go. So if it were to happen we would be prepared for it.
I'm not crazy! My reality is just different than yours!
Well.... I'd definitely skip work that day.
But, all of the movie based zombies are a bit off, at best we can only have the biological kind, the magic kind are sadly relegated to Hollywood. So I'd treat it like an infection and just stay home. They'll all die within a few days from dehydration, or starvation within a month. I'd spend that time in my basement trying to synthesize a silicon impregnated oil for a soap I've been working on for the last year. If the issue clears up, they're probably going to still try and hold me to my contract, so I pretty much have to...
A narrative has power, even when its hero is a dirty rodent carrying the plague.
I'd take AshRandom with me as he philosophically wards off the zombies for us.

where the hell did you get that 0_o???
i have one too, i wouldn't blame him. but i think mine's a little stronger than his.
i'm semi-active. check my page every week or so.
My plan: climb to the highest point I can get to and snipe them from far. Carry a sword or a bat of sorts to wack the shit out of them if they manage to get close.
Seems legit.
Interior Crocodile Alligator.
I'll just live in the mountains, have a stash of melee tools and pineapple grenades. Let them come up and and I;ll just keep on chuckling them. Also have Bow & Arrows ready since, I'm a Archer, and after I kill the zombies coming to me, I can go out and retrieve all the arrows and reuses them unlike firearm. The best part is the arrows will have the zombie blood and can be an effective weapons against marauders.
I would assess the situation and my position (depending where I'm at if it were to happen). If I was at home I would probably pick up my shinai (kendo training sword) and make my way to the nearest martial arts store to pick up the real deal (I am currently living in Japan). The shinai can be very deadly if used well and with enough force, but it wouldn't be nearly enough to protect me for too long. After all, these swords can break just as easily as they can cause harm. I would also be picking up food along the way if I had any opportunity to--and a first aid kit, radio, batteries, torch...
After picking up the things that I need (assuming I was even able to make it to the store) I would leave town. I would go into the forest and leave town on old routes, avoiding people or populated areas. I would go as far as I could in one day and set up camp in a secluded area with only a few ways to get to, allowing for me to deal with one zombie at a time, if they were to come.
Don't trust anyone. Be careful and cautious. Pick up necessities along the way if you find them. Assess every situation before committing to any given plan.

Toddlers Bedtime Refusal
I have a 2 year old and brought our newest family member home a few weeks ago. THe 2 year old is in love with her new brother, so much that she will not leave his side. She has proven to be helpful at times, however, when it comes to bedtime she flat out refuses. Bedtime used to be a fun time for all of us. Hugs, kisses, stories, snuggle bunnies ( her sleepy bear). We also always told stories of baby coming while I was pregnant to prepare her for the big day. The only major issue is bedtime. What can I do to get the bedtime back to normal, or at least tolerable again?

This is a very tricky issue and I had the same problem with my boy when his baby sister came home, what I tried to do was have baby fed and changed before his bedtime, that way I could spend time with him to try and get back to the routine we used to have before the new arrival and he then felt like it was all about him for a little while instead of been just fitted in between babies feeding time and he did get back in on his bed time. Hope this helps.

So you've decided that you want a Cisco ASA5510 firewall or two. Unfortunately it'll cost you dearly, assuming you can even find one. It seems that Cisco is having some significant production problems with the ASA line, and as a result, ASAs are suddenly as rare as hen's teeth. This is bad news for just about everyone -- except Cisco's competitors.
In the past few weeks, I've had several folks ask me for alternative recommendations for ASA firewalls because they simply cannot source any. I've been sending them to Juniper and the SSG series or even to open source alternatives like pfSense. These folks are from committed Cisco-only shops, too, but they simply can't wait several months for new gear.
[ Read Paul Venezia's detailed, incisive review of Cisco's UCS, a winner of the InfoWorld 2010 Technology of the Year Awards. | Storage requirements out of control? Then read InfoWorld contributor Keith Schultz's Deep Dive Report on Data Deduplication. ]
As with any supply issue, the dearth of Cisco ASAs has caused a run on graymarket hardware, with used ASAs selling for more than the list price on new ones, and new units fetching $2,000 premiums over list. Cisco resellers have back orders numbering in the thousands with no end in sight. Even vendors that have loaner pools say that the waiting lists for those units is equally astronomical.
Assuming Cisco's woes continue, all of those customers will have to head elsewhere for their firewalls and VPN appliances. Some are opting for graymarket PIXes to get them through, some are heading to Juniper, some to Fortinet, and some are looking to open source, like the aforementioned pfSense. Heck, for $700 you can get a 1U pfSense appliance from Hacom with a VPN accelerator that offers 45Mbps AES VPN performance and can handle a wide variety of other tasks. You can even cluster those for redundancy.
But the real problem for Cisco isn't that there are alternatives out there -- it's that suddenly their pure Cisco customers have to take off the blinders and explore other options. These customers are being forced to break the Cisco seal and allow other vendors in the door. Once that's done, there's much less inertia to keep them automatically heading back to the Cisco well.
This is particularly bad timing for Cisco. IT spending is up, the economy appears to be heading in the right direction, and IT shops across the globe are restarting stalled projects or starting new ones and need the gear as soon as possible. Most notably, ASAs are Cisco's firewall product, and Internet circuits are costly and generally take months to provision and install. Thus, many companies are awaiting circuit installations with simply no hardware available to handle them. They're definitely not in any position to hold out for Cisco's production blunders to be resolved.
There's even more consternation in larger companies, where Cisco ASAs might be the only option due to stringent equipment validation procedures and policies. If an ASA is the only firewall that policies allow to be installed on the network, then those policies are suddenly going to have to change. If prior testing and validation are required for those policy changes, then plenty of IT admins will be spending quality time with other vendors' gear during that process, not to mention once they're in the field.
It's even more galling that Cisco has stated it is refusing to release a 64-bit version of its standard VPN client in order to force customers to the company's AnyConnect client that requires a Cisco ASA. If you're running Cisco VPN concentrators and facing a raft of users running 64-bit Windows that need VPN access, you're out of luck -- unless you use a non-Cisco client.
Apparently, it's not just firewalls. Customers are reporting huge delays and no promises of delivery dates on Cisco 2960 switches, too. Talk about hindering progress.
If other vendors products are even remotely up to snuff and come in cheaper than the Cisco gear, then they may be able to make significant inroads into places where they've never even had a foothold before -- and all because Cisco dropped the ball.

The Allure of the Roller Rink, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- Marianne Moore's strange, sad childhood: "Mary [her mother] established a pattern whereby Marianne, in family conversations and correspondence, was invariably referred to as a boy and identified only with male pronouns. Furthermore, Mary encouraged the siblings to regard each other as 'lovers,' and to think of her as their 'lover,' too."
- In the Paris of the eighteenth century, elite prostitutes were monitored by the fuzz—but why? "A final and enduring theory is that the reports were meant as bedtime reading for King Louis XV and his mistress, the Marquise de Pompadour, who had been the protector of the police lieutenant general most responsible for establishing the unit in the first place. According to this theory, the reports were meant to enliven the reputedly jaded, enervated royal sex life."
- Japanese astronauts took some cherry pits into space. Now, one of them has grown into a mighty cherry tree, perhaps with superpowers.
- "Adventure Time is a smash hit cartoon aimed primarily at kids age six to eleven. It's also a deeply serious work of moral philosophy, a rip-roaring comic masterpiece, and a meditation on gender politics and love in the modern world."
- "I can't articulate exactly what it was that turned the roller rink into fantasy-on-wheels for me … the feelings I sought only came from visits to those dingy rinks—their smell of ashtrays, sweat, and desolation. In retrospect, part of what I craved was the roller rink's ability to detach me from the everyday. Because I frequented roller rinks as they were on their way 'out,' they seemed to exist apart from the regular world."

'The proposed changes were both slight (smaller goalie equipment) and radical (no offsides once a team brings the puck over its own blue line).

By Eric Williams The News Tribune
Darrell Bevell has a problem that most offensive coordinators won't complain about.
Since the Seattle Seahawks signed Percy Harvin and added him to a group of receivers that includes Sidney Rice, Golden Tate and Doug Baldwin — along with tight end Zach Miller and running back Marshawn Lynch — Bevell has to figure out how to spread the ball around to keep all those playmakers happy.
"The only problem right now is we only have one ball," Bevell said with a laugh.
Bevell started the spread-the-wealth process last week, working to devise schemes that best suit Harvin's skills in Seattle's offense.
Harvin led the Vikings in receptions through nine games last season, with 62 catches for 677 yards and three touchdowns. That put him among the league leaders before he suffered a severe ankle sprain against Seattle.
Rice led the Seahawks in receptions with 50 catches for 748 yards and seven touchdown in 16 games during the regular season. Seattle threw the ball a league-low 25 times a game last season, so Bevell will have to increase the passing attempts for quarterback Russell Wilson to meet the expectations of his talented group of receivers.
"We've got a lot of weapons that we get to work with," Bevell said. "And a lot of different skill sets, with a variety of guys. So it's going to be fun devising that plan and using the strength that each one of those guys have to get them the ball."
Bevell said one of the things Seattle will have to balance during the offseason is being innovative with new offensive schemes, including the further development of the zone read option, but not adopting so much new stuff that the offense bogs down.
"That's always the fine line that we're trying to walk — put enough in that we're able to have enough variety, but then not overload the players" he said. "The problem is, you can't go by your smartest and easiest guy to process information. You've kind of got to go to the other end, because you need all 11 guys playing as fast as they can. So we need to make sure that we don't overload the other guys as well. Just because (Wilson) may be able to do something, some of the other guys might not be able to come along with him."
Bevell served as offensive coordinator for Minnesota during Harvin's first two seasons in the league. So it's no surprise that Seattle head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider consulted him before making the trade.
"Both John and coach Carroll came in on numerous occasions, and asked me about Percy in a lot of different ways," he said. "What he could bring to us, what kind of guy he is, how is he in the locker room — all of the questions that they wanted answered.
"I have nothing but great things to say about Percy. I had a great time with him. Obviously he was a great player for us. He was Rookie of the Year for us … He can do so many things. Him and I, our relationship is great."
Bevell acknowledged that Harvin had "a couple of issues" with former Minnesota head coach Brad Childress while Bevell was with the Vikings.
However, Bevell thought the incident with Harvin and current Minnesota head coach Leslie Frazier caught on video during the game at Seattle last November was more bark than bite.
"I think that was a little bit overblown with the one case that happened on TV," Bevell said. "He's had some issues in his past, but with me he was great. I think the lines of communication are open. And I think coach Carroll does a great job of how he handles his team as well. I don't foresee us having any issues with him."
Bennett signs
Michael Bennett, a free-agent defensive lineman from the Buccaneers who had nine sacks last season, officially signed his contract with the Seahawks Friday. Bennett agreed to terms late Thursday, just after the team had announced the signing of Cliff Avril, a free-agent defensive end from the Lions who produced 9.5 and 11 sacks the past two seasons.
Bennett entered the league with the Seahawks as an undrafted free agent in 2009. He was released in October of his rookie season to clear a roster spot and the Bucs claimed him. In three-plus seasons in Tampa, the 6-foot-4, 274-pound Bennett had 114 tackles and 15 sacks.
Obomanu released
Wide receiver Ben Obomanu announced via Twitter on Friday that he will be released by the team.
"#Seattle it's been grt! 7th rd pick &7 good years for #87! Now for an opportunity to play and continue to live my dream. Thanks #12Man," Obomanu wrote via his Twitter account.
The Seahawks have not confirmed Obomanu's release.
Obomanu later told KJR-AM that he will indeed be released by Seattle.
"We agreed to allow me to join the free agent pool now instead of possibly waiting around through training camp," Obomanu said.
Obomanu was scheduled to make $2.3 million in base salary in 2013 in the final year of a three-year extension. But with the addition of Harvin, Obomanu would have been the fifth receiver on Seattle's roster at best, which made his salary a prohibitive luxury for Seattle to keep.
The Seahawks will save about $2.5 million in cap space by releasing Obomanu.
By letting him go now, the Seahawks allow Obomanu a chance to catch on with another team.
Obomanu, 29, finished 2012 on injured reserve with a wrist issue. He thought he could have came back had Seattle given him the chance. Known for his toughness, versatility and special teams skills, Obomanu finished his career in Seattle with 87 receptions for 1,209 yards and seven touchdowns.

Why Washington doesn't work
By Peggy Binette, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-7704
Washington Post correspondent Karen Tumulty will offer her insights on why the U.S. government cannot overcome partisan politics and address the needs of the American people in a pair of lectures March 19 at the University of South Carolina.
Tumulty's public talk, titled "Why Can't Washington Get Its Act Together," will take place at 3:30 p.m. in Room 125 in the School of Nursing's Williams-Brice building on Greene Street. It is free and open to the public.

A day in the life
Invariably, someone will ask me, "How's your day going?" Most of the time, it's a family member, but whomever is asking, the answer is usually "great" because, for the most part, it usually is. But what I do during the course of the day, in my capacity as editor/publisher of Open Source Reporter can be revealing.
Or not.
For those of you keeping score at home (and I don't know why you would, to quote a San Francisco Giants announcer), this is what I do:
On another note . . .
While visiting the Fluxbuntu Web site, I noticed that they had a screenshot for an Old World G3 PowerBook Wallstreet, just like the one I just sold (argh!). So I asked when the PowerPC version of this distro would be ready and I was told that it will be ready within a couple of weeks. I also learned that when you're in an IRC chat, you don't have to ask "Can I ask a question" (Duh! Sorry guys, that was me).

So I managed to install pyrit with CUDA support and configured MySQL DB.
Now I want to "import_password" to DB, as you know it takes a lot of time to generate, so I'm taking it careful. I made old computer "The big DB storage" to store all hashes.
I'm afraid of wordlists saved as windows txt file format.
I quote coWPAty fail:
Simply cos of that, all hashes were generated in wrong way.Quote:
I spend the next month or so with a couple CPU's cranking away on the data, generating 1000 SSID's worth of hash tables from a 172,000 word dictionary. Towards the end I decided to test the hash files and get some metrics on how fast they computed. I setup a workstation to talk to a WPA-PSK AP with a passphrase that was known to be in the dictionary and captured the nessecary hash. I launched the attack with the coWPAtty 3.0 beta's and it was'nt finding the key. Eventually with Joshua Wrights help we dicovered where I'd screwed up. The password list had been saved in windows txt file format, leaving a hidden return character at the end of each line. This return character was being hashed in as part of the password giving me all wrong results!
I'm not gonna screw like this haha...ONE MONTH for nothing..funny huh? :D
So...what format it should be, coded, utf-8, ansi ?
I simply can check file by Midnight Commander by pressing <F4> ( Edit File )
It shows this ( look pic ):
http://thumbnails37.imagebam.com/136...5136233104.jpg http://thumbnails42.imagebam.com/136...7136233099.jpg
Also wordlist goes wrong if I save it as Unicode.
The problem is AkelPad can't open big files. I tried once and my PC looped for 3 mins and then I got error "not enough RAM" ( lol he tried to load 900 mb )
What programs can fix these dicts saved in wrong way for linux and windows. How do YOU fix it ? How do I check BIG wordlists for hidden return character ( MC -> F4 can't open big text files )
ansi, iso, utf-8, 0Ah, DAh, windows format, hiden return bla bla bla...jesus christ.
PS: Sry for grama, not my native.

Hi Ed,
Very briefly...
My experience was that it was seen as an incredibly beneficial thing by the Burmese when I disclosed that I was in the country to participate in a long meditation course. On my first day in Myanmar I went to Botataung Paya with four senior american assistant teachers - it contains a hair-relic of the Buddha. I remember paying respects to a Buddharupa and a young Burmese couple were pointing at me with delightful curiosity, talking quietly to each other and smiling. I think Burmese people are genuinely very eager to share their culture and the Dhamma with sincere practitioners from abroad. It was very easy for me to get a 'pilgrimage letter' from VMC Dhammajoti which indicated that I was also on pilgrimage and it allowed me free entry into most of the places of interest inc. Shwedagon, Mandalay Hill, Mahamuni temple &etc. When I showed the pilgrimage letter there was usually a conversation about what I had seen, where I was going and the meditation course I was on. Within the community of the U Ba Khin and Goenka 'tradition', my intention to be in the country to sit a long course and do a short yatra - it just seemed to open doors for me.
Figures such as Sayagi U Ba Khin, "The Anagamin" Saya Thetgyi, and Ledi Sayadaw are very well known. SN Goenka is well known, but doesn't yet have the stellar reputation of his predecessors. He has established eighteen centres in Myanmar and there are three separate and concurrent prison programs in operation which have produced incredible results.
Perhaps it was that document that you shared with me on mental culture and the politics of crisis management in Burma that mentioned that Ledi Sayadaw was supported and became popular with the court of King Mindon in Mandalay. I wish I had finished reading it before I went to Burma, but...time (or lack of it)!
kind regards

50 best spring bars

The diminutive 1534 packs a punch. Actually, it packs several on the spring menu ($35--$130). Based on the geography of the French colonies, the drinks list is divided into various regions—French Polynesia and the Pacific, Indochina, Africa and the Americas—and you can explore each via three cocktails, served either as an individual size ($12) or in a larger group format ($35--$130). While the flavors sometimes veer into extreme exoticism, it all works thanks to skilled mixologists. Balance is achieved in complex tipples like the Tirailleurs Punch, in which Zu bison-grass vodka gets a bitter splash of Aperol, acidity from fresh lemon juice, and cinnamon and clove notes from ras el hanout--spice-infused apple cider. Clean, sophisticated design completes the experience: Cream-hued walls bear a faint design of grass stalks, puddles of light pool on tiled floors, and dark wood booths are easy places to sequester for intimate conversations. 20 Prince St between Elizabeth and Mott Sts (212-966-5073, jacquesnyc.com/1534)
The two floors of uninterrupted glass walls make this venerable dive, bustling with day drinkers and late-night revelers, a prime (and reasonably priced) place to booze in the East Village, especially at happy hour (daily 4--8pm). Snack on bowls of gratis popcorn while sipping on a gin-and-juice "Sans-gria" cocktail ($8) or order a beer-shot combo ($5). 25 Ave A at 2nd St (212-505-2466)
The Bar Downstairs at Andaz 5th Avenue
This basement bote compensates for its annoying door policy—seating for one of the carved wooden seats at the bar is on a first-come, first-served basis—with a luxe, alluring environment. A long, polished wooden table is flanked by rich hanging tapestries and shelves of leather tomes cast in candlelight. Cocktails, made with fresh juices and house-made syrups, bear the bespoke mark of their creator, Alchemy Consulting. Their new spring cocktail list features shining stars like the beguiling Smoke Ring ($15). A slightly vegetal Siete Leguas blanco tequila gets a dose of char from smoky Tobala mescal. It's stirred together with agave syrup and Benedictine, which lends the drink a bright orange essence. 485 Fifth Ave at 41st St (212-601-1234, andaz5thavenue.com)
Bier International
Whether the forecast is clear or questionable, Harlem's first beer garden beckons with its bright, modern interior and a roster of ten impressive drafts and 25 bottled suds ($6--$14). Murky skies call for the rich and toasty Erdinger Dunkel Hefeweizen ($7), while slightly sweet Reissdorf Klsch ($6) sates palates on days when the floor-to-ceiling glass doors open onto the pavement. Come early May, the venue will roll out a sidewalk caf with additional seating. 2099 Frederick Douglass Blvd (Eighth Ave) between 113th and 114th Sts (212-280-0944, bierinternational.com)
Blind Tiger Ale House
The menu at Blind Tiger—an eclectic hideaway on a trendy stretch of Bleecker Street—is what makes it a blue-ribbon standard for all-day drinking. Choose from 30-plus varieties of American-craft, Belgian and cask ale on tap. People-watch through the tall windows while nursing a Nebraska IPA ($6.50). Snag a table early—and order bowl of beanless boar chili ($9)—for a calm, casual afternoon before the evening revelers descend. 281 Bleecker St at Jones St (212-462-4682, blindtigeralehouse.com). Daily 11:30am--4am.
Boat Basin Caf
To wind down from the afternoon revelry, continue along West 79th Street straight to the Hudson River. There you'll find this sprawling bar-eatery, where you can sip a cocktail while taking in the sunset over New Jersey. Choose a seat on the open-air patio for the best view of the marina, then share a 54-ounce pitcher of frozen margarita ($30) or a cold beer like Blue Moon ($22). W 79th St at the Hudson River (212-496-5542, boatbasincafe.com)
The shtick here is improvisational mixology—and while that prospect is risky at $15 per cocktail, it's meant to create a dialogue between you and the vested barkeeps, who can tailor their creations based on your tastes and the freshest ingredients. What lands in your glass also depends on the findings of Kate Galassi, the joint's house forager, who sources produce weekly from area farms: Her current obsessions are watercress from Max Creek Hatchery in East Meredith, New York, and rhubarb from a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Although Compose occasionally gives in to its stuffy tendencies, the twists on old classics make it worth indulging the geekery. Request a staff favorite like a tequila mint julep ($15) and rest easy. 77 Worth St between Broadway and Church St (212-226-1444, composenyc.com)
The energy level at this West Village lesbian bar is rivaled only by the hyper decor. Brightly colored trinkets—including tiny striped parasols, blond Barbie dolls and cow-spot painted model airplanes—dangle from the ceiling, so there's plenty to gawk at. Bump elbows with a mix of gay and straight patrons as you toss back draft beers and jam to snarky pop divas like Gwen Stefani and Ke$ha. The set of corner windows won't let in too much light, but what's missing in UV rays is more than made up for in spirit. 281 W 12th St at 4th St (212-243-9041, cubbyholebar.com)
An early champion of the NYC craft-beer scene, this East Village elder provides a comfortable rain-or-shine sipping spot. On mild evenings, convivial drinkers fill the back garden for a light, crisp lager—we like Dogfish Head Golden Era pilsner ($7)—or an effervescent Fantme Saison (25oz bottle $15). Then there's the right-for-a-rainy-day interior: a dim, publike affair stocked with some of the city's best small-batch suds. The rotating list of 20 drafts ($7) and more than 200 bottles ($6--$20) is sure to include a few bad-weather warmers, but for extra heat, peek at the dizzying whiskey selection, which features rarities from now-shuttered distillers. 41 First Ave between 2nd and 3rd Sts (212-475-5097, drinkgoodstuff.com)

APPLE VALLEY - Annie Lancaster's heart dropped and she began to have a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach when she arrived at a warehouse where she kept supplies for her non-profit organization that helps the homeless and their pets.
She wasn't just upset because someone had broken into and stolen some much-needed items but because this was the second time it had happened in just hours.
"We are way over 10 grand in losses," Lancaster said Sunday of the two burglaries, one Friday night and the other early Saturday morning. "If someone contacts me right now and says they need something, we have nothing to give anyone."
Lancaster was dropping off donations to the Mojave Desert Animal Rescue's Apple Valley warehouse Friday evening. When she walked into the storage area, she found a number of items missing.
"It was horrible," she said.
She called the San Bernardino County sheriff's Apple Valley station to report the crime.
Investigators said the crooks most likely got onto the property by cutting a portion of the chain-link fence and then managed to break into the storage building.
After hours of checking the property, the sheriff's deputies, Lancaster and a few volunteers finally left around 11 p.m., she said.
The next morning she received a shock.
"They came back and they cleaned us out twice as bad as the first time," she said.
This time, though, they not only took emergency supplies for the homeless and their pets, they also vandalized the warehouse.
"You can tell they just threw things across the room and just completely trashed the place," she said. "I mean who does that? We had signs in there that clearly said we were a charity and there were pictures of the homeless people we've helped and their pets and they still had the heart to do something like this? I just don't understand."
Lancaster's organization helps the High Desert's homeless and low-income families and seniors keep their pets by providing items and supplies for both the animals and their owners. It also helps provide veterinary care, but the animals must be spayed or neutered in order to receive the aid.
The thieves took or destroyed enough supplies that could help her clients and their pets for a year and fit snugly in the large storage area, Lancaster said.
That has now been reduced to three pickup truck loads, she said.
Many of Lancaster's friends and supporters are also at a loss.
"I feel so helpless as to how I can help her," said Marie Sovitsky of Victorville, who called Lancaster as soon as she learned of the break-in. "Our beloved Annie is crushed."
Lancaster has always had a large capacity for helping others, so much so that Sovitsky said Lancaster did not hesitate to help her friend with a personal favor just hours after Lancaster discovered the second break-in.
"Anybody else would have blown me off, but she was the only one who could help me with what I needed and she still came out to help me," Sovitsky said. " Annie is a walking, talking huge gold heart. I've never seen anyone give so much time, energy (and) focus like she has."
The thieves made off with countless canned food, both for human consumption and for pets, veterinary supplies, jackets, coats, socks, and they tried to drive off with a backhoe but, according to Lancaster, the tractor's flat tires kept the burglars from getting too far.
They abandoned it on a neighbor's property and she discovered it around 2:30 a.m. Saturday.
Several people have already rallied around Lancaster and her non-profit, offering to donate some pet supplies and warm clothing, but she said if she doesn't receive enough donations, she's in real danger of having to close the doors.
"I'm still in shock and I hope that I don't have to, but right now that is a reality," Lancaster said.
Anyone with information on this case is asked to contact the sheriff's Apple Valley station at 760-240-7400 or call sheriff's dispatch at 760-245-4211.
To help, visit the nonprofit's website at animalresq.org.

Is it safe to take pills for nursing mums?
I'm a nursing mum and I'm concerned to take birth control pills. My husband and I would like to do our family planning. My youngest is already 18 months old. Is it safe to take pills in my condition? Will it not affect my breastmilk? I'm worried that any chemical will go through my milk and it will be taken by my baby. I hope you can enlighten me.

Hello MommyAnnrie,
You are correct in that the hormones in the birth control pill (even the mini pill) will go into your breastmilk. Some pills are supposed to be okay for breastfeeding but this is something you need to be at peace with.
You may want to consider natural birth control, or natural family planning. I used this throughout my childbearing years and it was very effective.
Warm Regards,

Set in Liberia and the United States from 1975 through 1991, The Darling is a political/historical thriller, reminiscent of Graham Greene and Joseph Conrad, that explodes the genre, raising serious philosophical questions about terrorism, political violence, and the clash of races and cultures.
©2004 Russell Banks; (P)2004 BBC Audiobooks America, Inc. & HarperCollins Publishers, Inc.
"A rich and complex look at the searing connections between the personal and the political, this is one of Banks's most powerful novels yet." (Publishers Weekly)
"Banks brings the full weight of his storytelling genius and psychological perceptiveness to a novel as compulsively readable as it is eviscerating in its dramatization of cultural divides, political mayhem, psychotic violence, and profound alienation." (Booklist)
"Complex and compelling"
I have been listening to Audiobooks for years and this has been one of my favorite books. First of all, even though I know better, I could not believe that the author was not a woman. The constant shifting of focus from social behavior - both human and animal - to the individual conscience, was stunning. This book will appeal to readers who love politics, stories about different cultures, mysteries and wonderful character development. I am going to buy the book and read it again, something I seldom do. This book is really a masterpiece.
"extraordinary and beautiful"
Russell Banks is one of our greatest novelists in the English Language. His body of work shows an artistry with the language that few others meet.
This novel ranks with Cloudsplitter. Banks' characters are flawed people, but the reader is enriched and enlighted by listening or reading them come to terms with their lives.
In Darling Banks explores what it means to be moral by exploring complicated lives led fully. He brings a deep mediation on lyalty, empathy, language, social change, and loveas his main character explores her life.
The narration is nearly perfect. This is an excedllent audio experience.
history buff
"wonderfully read, wonderfully written"
This book by Russell Banks is a powerful volume, with particular resonance for, I believe, members of the baby-boomer generation, with [formerly] radical pretensions & an interest in third world developments. I found a remarkable number of parallels with episodes in my own life (of long ago, frankly) ... college, belief systems, foreign travel, interests.
In narrow terms, this is the story of a one-time member of the SDS Weather Underground, who ends up escaping from the US to Africa, marries into the Liberian autocracy, lives through the bloody civil war of the late-1980s & 1990s. It is reminiscent of Graham Greene (e.g., the Comedians), but more powerful & more intimate. Hanna is not an alienated foreign observer of the same ilk as most of Greene's protagonists. It is reminiscent of Naipaul, but told from an American's perspective rather than a british-third-world perspective.
This is extremely well narrated and very difficult to put down. Recommended highly.
"Superb narration for a terrific story"
This is one of the best, if not the best, title I have listened to on Audible. The voice of the central character seemed very authentic to me, as she described both the external conflicts going on in Liberia and the heartrending internal conflicts and contradictions going on inside of her. In addition, Mary Beth Hurt does an amazing job with the narration!
"well crafted book"
I loved his writing style as well as leaning a lot about Africa. surprises abound. I felt a tenderness toward characters that in real life I might not take the time to know. Master storyteller.

"Unexpectedly great book"
I downloaded this expecting another book. One of the best books I have experienced on audio. The reader does an excellent job, the story is fascinating, the writing is some of the best I have read recently.
Banks' hugely ambitious, yet emotionally introspective novel is brilliantly complemented by Hurt's compelling reading. One of the finest audiobooks I have heard!
"What a Surprise!"
As I looked through the Audible collection, something about this book caught my attention and made me buy it. I knew nothing of the author or the story but I am so glad that I gave it a chance.
As a "radical" child of the sixties, I could relate to the life-progression of the main character. Her experiences were moving and very well presented. The narrator was excellent, too, and I would highly reccommend the book .
"Smart, rich, and beautifully read"
This is one of the finest audio titles that I have had the pleasure to hear in more than a decade of listening. I had not been familiar with Russell Banks beyond having heard the name, but I had Liberian friends who lived through the disastrous past two decades. The Darling's premise is not very promising: the first person telling by radicalized daughter of privilege (sorry for all the "pr's"...) of the horror of the Liberian collapse. As it turns out, Russell Banks paints a complex portrait of a woman with all her contradictory impulses who penetrates into the "heart of darkness." I found it delicate, moving, even funny. The reading is superb, not intrusive but colorful and varied. I can't recommend this highly enough.
"really, very good"
Russell Banks is an excellent writer and this book is an excellent listen. It is very well read and the sound/engineering is very good. Banks' characters are drawn with unromatic honesty, sometimes a bit harshly, but that is true to the perceptions of the narrator. This would probably be a good book club selection, lot of fodder for chatter. No one in this book makes a truly human connection with anyone else and in some way that undercuts the horror of the completely benighted mayhem that overtakes them. But the context is good and the pacing in subtle but very effective, you will be moved when he wants you to feel something. Whereas it is a totally engrossing book, I am still stuck on the fact that Hannah never did really want to find her sons.
