Publisher's Summary
Pulitzer Prize, Biography/Autobiography, 1997
National Book Critics Circle, Biography/Autobiography, 1997
Frank McCourt's Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir, movingly read in his own voice, bears all the marks of a classic. Born in Depression-era Brooklyn to Irish immigrant parents, Frank was later raised in the slums of Limerick, Ireland. His mother, Angela, had no money to feed her children since Frank's father, Malachy, rarely worked, and when he did, he drank his wages. Angela's Ashes is the story of how Frank endured - wearing shoes repaired with tires, begging for a pig's head for Christmas dinner, and searching the pubs for his father - a tale he relates with eloquence, exuberance, and remarkable forgiveness.
Listen to Frank McCourt talk about this book on C-SPAN's Booknotes (7/11/97).
Critic Reviews
"Frank McCourt is a marvelous writer whose words are made all the better when he reads them aloud..." (Bookpage)
"...one of the best I've heard in years." (The Boston Globe)
"...so good it deserves a sequel" (The New York Times)
"Here we have the stereotypical Irish characters - the drunken poet father; the all-suffering mother; the miserable, hungry kids being turned away by a haughty Church - all made three-dimensional and brought fully to life by both McCourt's language and his loving, intimate narration.... Grim it is - but the tale and its teller transcend the poverty - and so does the listener, who glories in the story and voice from beginning to end." (AudioFile)

A classic book *and* a classic audiobook
Sometimes the audio version of a good book can be ruined by a bad reader (too much Broadway or something). And sometimes a good reader can cause a book that's boring on paper to come alive in the audio version. But it's a rare and wonderful combination when a top-notch book is brought to life in a top-notch way by its own author in the audio version, especially if it's a memoir. This is an example of that blessed phenomenon. Some people find Angela's Ashes to be depressing, but I find it to be just the opposite. McCourt's attitude is inspiring. He got through his terrible childhood, and triumphed. The pathos is generously tempered with humor. I love this book, and I love to listen to McCourt himself read it to me.

Don't Hesitate, Listen!
I hesitated on getting this book. All I had envisioned about this story, including the picture on the book cover, told me it would be a sad, dark, and depressing tale. But nothing could be further from the truth.
Ethnic tales have always captivated me, but they were usually stories from MY ehtnic background. I am not irish and this tale still cpativated me. The child's perspective was so true ...like not understanding what it meant to die for one's country. And the author was able to bring this out in his own voice so well.
Many literary masterpieces leave me cold. But not this one. I truly understand why the Pulitzer was awarded. Nothing was sugar coated. There were awful things that happened, yet the hope came out. Whether his parents were stupid, or loosers, or just plain ignorant ...they were his parents and he loved them. And they loved him. We should all be so lucky.

A real page turner
I absolutely loved this book. Be patient at the beginning, as the book is read by an old man from a child's perspective. Once you get used to this, it is a joy. I cried and laughed. Frank's accent makes this book absolutely priceless in audio format. Though I wasn't raised in poverty or with an alcoholic father, I was struck by how much I related to Frank's childhood experiences. His treatment of sex, religion, and the general anxieties that accompany adolescence really hit home with me. This has been one of my favorite books on Audible. Don't forget to get the sequel, 'Tis, as it is also excellent.

Best audiobook of all time
I'm supposing that most book lovers have already come across Angela's Ashes by this time -- so many prizes, so many awards, so much well-deserved international acclaim. I read the book when it first came out, loved it so much I then bought the audiotapes -- on cassette -- and listened to them several times over. One time, I remember listening on the long drive from Sacramento to Southern California, and I recall driving into urban Los Angeles crying so hard I could hardly see the road. It's that kind of book -- one that will have you both laughing and crying within the same minute. It's just priceless.
Somewhere along the way the cassettes got lost, so when I saw the book again on Audible, I was delighted. I haven't listened to it for maybe ten years, so it was new to me all over again. One of the delights of this book is seeing yourself reflected in what McCourt writes. My background is about as radically different from his as is possible to to be, for two English-speakers, anyway, but still, there are parts that resonate personally with me so much. When he's talking about his school days, there are time when I feel myself saying, "I remember that!" although of course I don't. Not exactly. But McCourt's book is like that -- it draws you in, and makes his story resonate in your own mind.
Author-read books are always the best, and in this case, McCourt is exceptional. No one can tell his own stories like he can, and you feel you're in the same room with him, listening as he tells you what it was like.
If you haven't read or listened to Angela's Ashes in a while, it's time to do it again. And if you've never come across it before, wow -- are you lucky! To listen to this book for the first time is really a wonderful thing.

Thank you for writing, and even more for reading
I have been listening to the book for 10 hours now and still I've got a smile on my face and the tears in my eyes. I gained so much respect for Frank Mccourt. How can a man "walk" back through his "miserable Irish Catholic childhood", (The happy childhood is hardly worthwhile) and be there as if it was yesterday and take YOU there and meet the characters around him as if you could shake their hands - with his Irish accent, simple illustrative words (buckety pram, wee children) respectful impersonations and his sweet warm voice - and make you see that every second of life IS worthwhile.
And for the ones who think the book is depressing: Go and stand beside Francis look through his eyes, he'll make you see. Who said it's easy?

A treasure
When I described this book to a friend of mine, she said "Eeeew, sounds depressing." But it wasn't depressing, because of the hope the children and their parents had of a better day, and the love they had for each other despite their many flaws. McCourt is straightforward and honest about his family, showing his father to be loving and attentive, but with an alcohol addiction that is devastating to his family. The author paints accurate portraits of the characters, including himself, and the result is a book rich with humanity, frustration, hope, and humor. To hear it in his own voice is a treat. It's one of those books I almost wish I hadn't read, since I'll never again be able to experience it for the first time. But I'll listen to it again several times, and I suspect I'll find new and interesting things I missed in my original listening. I've recommended it to nearly everyone I know, and I'm surprised I haven't yet been asked to find something else to talk about.

Memories Restored
I thouroughly enjoyed Mr. McCourt's reading of the remarkable store of his chilhood. His repeated descriptions of his emotions when telling about events he remembers from his childhood make the stories come alive. The reading also brought back memories from my own childhood and the emotions I felt at the time those events were happening. I look forward to hearing more from Mr. McCourt.

Thank you Frank McCourt!
The draw of this book has everything to do with the writer's incredible talent for colorful and moving story telling, and a writing style that comes alive with McCourt's uncomplicated and free flowing Irish accented narration. Frank McCourt's amazing life story is a not just a must-read, but a Classic.

I was immediately captivated by Mr. McCort's wonderful speaking voice, which completely drew me into the narrative of his childhood. The subtle humor of this man sprinkled over the adventures and tragedies of his childhood brought laughter and tears, and a vivid comprehension a life beginning in such abject poverty. I recommend this book to anyone who appreciates a historic reality lesson, or has ever or never known love or despair or poverty. Frank McCort is living proof that there is hope for us all!!
Mr. McCort is a marvelous writer and story-teller, and I intend to read every word he has ever written.

I don't think this story could have been told better by anyone than this fabulous, funny, sensitive, tell it like it is, writer - the second I finished it I wanted more, and got it with 'Tis..I'm in the middle of 'Tis and can't put it down either!! Is Angela's Ashes one of the most engrossing books ever??? 'Tis....

NEW YORK (AP) — Hess Corp. will split the positions of CEO and chairman as it fights off a campaign by a major shareholder for a change in leadership at the New York energy company.
John Hess, son of the company founder, will hold on to the CEO title, but the non-executive chairmanship will go to John Krenicki, former GE vice chairman, if shareholders approve during the company's annual meeting next week.
Earlier this year in a letter to shareholders, Elliott Management accused the Hess board of "poor oversight" of management for "over a decade of failures," and revealed a 4 percent stake in the company.
The hedge fund is seeking to place its own slate of nominees on the board and on Friday, dismissed the company's actions.
"A resolution to split the Chairman & CEO roles at Hess is on this year's proxy," Elliott said. "Hess's announcement today is not a concession or step on the part of the Company, rather it is a reaction to the shareholder vote currently underway. It is significant to note that Hess's Board recommended against this split only a few weeks ago."
Elliott recently bumped up its stake in Hess to 4.52 percent.
Elliott was seconded earlier this month by the influential firm Institutional Shareholder Services, which backed its efforts publicly and recommended that shareholders support Elliott's slate of five nominees for the board.
Hess is undergoing substantial changes.
In March, the company announced that it would sell its retail gas stations business, along with its energy trading and marketing businesses, to become more purely an exploration and production company. It's also selling U.S. oil storage terminals and plans to close a New Jersey refinery as it exits the volatile refining business.
Hess had already rejected Elliott's nominees and says it believes that the ISS report on the proxy contest is flawed and doesn't address key issues.
Company shares slid 2 percent, or $1.38, to $69.58 in early trading.

Colorado's Pot Experiment
Other states can see how legalization works out in the Stoner State.
On New Year's Day, Sean Azzariti, a former Marine who did two tours in Iraq, became the first American in a century to buy pot legally, as Colorado's state-licensed marijuana stores opened for business. Thus began a great social and economic experiment in drug legalization—but also with any luck a federalist education for the other states wondering whether to follow.
In 2012, voters in Colorado approved a state constitutional amendment ending the prohibition of growing, selling or consuming cannabis, and by all accounts the...

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq carried out its first election since the U.S. military withdrawal without major bloodshed Saturday in a major test for Iraqi security forces as they face a reviving al-Qaida insurgency. But delayed elections in two provinces wracked by anti-government protests and complaints about missing names on voter rolls overshadowed the vote.
The results will be a key measure of support for the country's vying political coalitions and could boost the victors' chances heading into next year's parliamentary elections. Thousands of candidates from 50 electoral blocs were vying for 378 seats on provincial councils, which hold sway over public works projects and other decisions at the local level.
Officials ratcheted up security to thwart insurgent attempts to disrupt the vote. Nearly all cars were ordered off the roads in major cities, leaving streets eerily empty and giving children a chance to play soccer in the middle of highways.
Scattered violence — mainly mortar shells and small bombs — struck near polling places. But they resulted in no fatalities — a departure from a wave of bloodshed earlier in the week. Six people were reported wounded Saturday.
As in past elections, voters dipped their fingers in purple ink after casting their ballots to prevent repeat voting.
Among them was Oday Mohammed, a businessman who brought his mother, wife and children along with him to vote for a candidate from Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's State of Law bloc. He said he believes both candidates and voters are growing more experienced with the democratic process following the 2003 ouster of dictator Saddam Hussein.
"Not all politicians are corrupt. There are some good people," he said at a polling center in the mainly Shiite district of Kazimiyah.
The vote comes at a time of rising tensions between Iraq's Sunni Arab minority and the Shiite majority that has dominated politics since the U.S.-led invasion a decade ago.
In a reflection of those sectarian strains, many voters said they were encouraged to participate by religious leaders.
"I don't have any hope that the situation will improve, but I had to take part because our clerics asked us to so we don't lose out like in in the past," said Anwar al-Obaidi, a 60-year old Sunni barber in Baghdad.
Muqdad al-Shuraifi, a member of the electoral commission, said after polls closed that a preliminary count showed 51 percent of eligible voters cast ballots. That is the same turnout as during the last provincial elections in 2009.
Full election results were not expected for several days.
Many Iraqis are frustrated with the lack of progress despite several earlier regional and national elections, which were protected with help from the U.S. Several said they saw no point in casting ballots.
"All the politicians and provincial officials, whether Sunni or Shiite, are nothing but thieves and liars," said Ali Farhan, a 35-year-old taxi driver in eastern Baghdad, in explaining his choice not to vote.
Militants stepped up attacks ahead of the vote. A wave of car bombings and other attacks Monday killed at least 55 people and wounded more than 200. Another bombing at a packed cafe late Thursday that left 32 dead. And at least 14 candidates were assassinated in recent weeks.
Several would-be voters in Baghdad's mainly Sunni neighborhood of Azamiyah could not find their names on voting rolls at several polling centers, so they went home without casting ballots.
"I'm disappointed. We're missing the chance to make a change," lawyer Raed Najm told The Associated Press after failing to find his name at four separate polling stations.
Jana Hybaskova, the European Union envoy to Iraq, described similar voter registration problems at polling sites in Baghdad's upscale Mansour district, a mixed Sunni-Shiite area.
Sunni lawmaker Mohammed al-Khaldi from the opposition Iraqiya bloc said he received complaints from voters in Baghdad and in Diyala province about missing names on voting rolls as well.
He also accused Shiite militiamen of burning ballot boxes in Diyala, which is home to both Sunni and Shiite Muslims.
Al-Shuraifi, the electoral official, confirmed that ballot boxes were destroyed in the province, but he blamed the act on angry voters who could not find their names on voting lists.
Voting took place at more than 5,300 polling centers for members of provincial councils who will serve in 12 of Iraq's 18 governorates.
Officials last month unexpectedly delayed voting in two largely Sunni provinces, citing security concerns. The provinces, Anbar and Ninevah, have witnessed four months of large anti-government protests, raising questions about the motives behind the delay.
The U.S. Embassy praised Iraqis for going to the polls in what it called a strong rejection of violent extremists. At the same time, it urged authorities in Baghdad to revisit the decision to delay the vote in the two Sunni provinces and to schedule voting there soon.
"Security concerns should not prevent all Iraqi citizens from expressing themselves democratically at the ballot box," the Embassy said in a statement.
Iraq's largely autonomous northern Kurdish region, which comprises three provinces, will hold its own local elections in September. No vote is scheduled in the ethnically disputed province of Kirkuk, which has not had a chance to elect local officials since 2005 because residents cannot agree on a power-sharing formula there.
As in the 2010 national elections, al-Maliki's Shiite-dominated State of Law coalition is vying against the Sunni-backed Iraqiya bloc. But Iraqiya is now fragmented with some prominent Sunni figures fielding their own slates of candidates.
State of Law also faces a challenge from Shiite rivals the Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council and followers of anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. A strong showing by them could undermine support for al-Maliki's bloc heading into next year's parliamentary elections.
Governorate councils choose provincial governors and have the right under Iraq's constitution to call for a referendum to organize themselves into a federal region — a move that could give them considerable autonomy from the central government in Baghdad. They also have some say over regional security matters and the ability to negotiate local business deals and allocate government funds.
Some 13.8 million voters were eligible to participate in the provinces taking part in Saturday's vote.
Associated Press writers Qassim Abdul-Zahra, Sameer N. Yacoub and Sinan Salaheddin in Baghdad, and Nabil al-Jurani in Basra contributed reporting.

Ancient Faith Today's September 16 Guest is Kyriacos Markides
On Sunday, September 16, the live call-in broadcast Ancient Faith Today will feature host Kevin Allen's conversation with well-known author Kyriacos Markides. Markides' newly released book, The Inner River, chronicles his "pilgrimage to the heart of Christian spirituality," and speaks about his journey from materialism to shamanism, and then back home to the mystical Orthodox Christian faith of his youth.
A professor of sociology at the University of Maine, Markides is the best-selling author of The Mountain of Silence and Gifts of the Desert. "He is a bridge builder between Orthodox and non-Orthodox seekers," notes Ancient Faith Today host Allen. "We'll find out about his views of Darwinism, near-death experiences, universalism, and other topics that are a part of his fascinating inner journey. I'll also have a chance to ask him some of the hard questions that many who have read his books, have wondered about."
The call-in number for Ancient Faith Today is 1-855-AFRADIO (1-855-237-2346), and the link for the chatroom is posted shortly before the time of the program, which streams live at 8 P.M. Eastern Standard Time.

If you're on a big project where you're using cleaners and epoxies, can you stow these in the gangbox? No, you need to store them in special containers designed for flammables storage.
The rags you use when working with solvents become flammable vapor sources and kindling. These require special containers for storage/disposal. The typical flammables container is unbreakable, with a flame arrester and a spring loaded cover. It's also color coded; that's why kerosene cans are blue and gasoline cans are red. Use the right kind of container for the flammable you're storing; read the MSDS to determine what that is.
In addition, don't store flammables near corrosives or oxidizers (see MSDS of each chemical). Nearby corrosives might eat the container from the outside while oxidizers might cause it to erupt in flame. For example, don't store solvents in a battery room. Escaping fumes can travel along the ground to ignition sources hundreds of feet away. Close container lids tightly, and provide ventilation per the information in the MSDS.

Critic lauds city's architecture 'trifecta'
One on the nation's most esteemed architectural critics says he is thrilled by the changes he has observed in Buffalo since his last visit in 2003.
Paul Goldberger, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair and former longtime critic at the New Yorker, said the promise evident in the city's assets is in many cases becoming a reality or is on the way.
"There were things that I thought 10 years ago were impossible that are beginning to happen. Neighborhood revival is one, and so is the Richardson Olmsted Complex, which I thought would be fantastic to preserve but that we'd all be dead before it could happen. And now it is going to happen," said Goldberger, who gave the keynote address this week at the Society of Architectural Historians' annual conference, which concludes Sunday.
Goldberger was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for Distinguished Criticism in 1984 while at the New York Times.
"There are a million problems and those are obvious. I'm not naive about the future of Buffalo – the challenges are gargantuan. But you do feel now, as opposed to 10 years ago, that things are going in the right direction, and that this city is doing all it can, recognizing there is a lot of stuff that is just beyond the ability of Buffalo to do."
Buffalo begins, Goldberger noted, with some of the best representative works of the nation's three greatest architects of the late 19th and early 20th century.
"There are truly great things here. It's the only city other than Chicago that has [H.H.] Richardson, [Louis] Sullivan and [Frank Lloyd] Wright – 'the trifecta,' " said Goldberger, who also teaches design and architecture at the New School in New York City.
"The Darwin Martin House has been absolutely, brilliantly restored, and it's the most ambitious restoration of a Wright building that I've seen," he said. "And the fact it also includes the pavilion by Toshiko Mori gives it a whole kind of depth and resonance that goes beyond what most restorations have. It avoids mimicking Wright instead by substituting, really, the creativity of our time, and playing it off against Wright."
Goldberger, who was formerly dean of the Parsons School of Design, stayed overnight Thursday in the Gardener's Cottage on the grounds of the Martin House Complex, which he said was an "honor."
"It's a wonderful little building – not as distinctive as the Martin House itself – but lovely and very comfortable," Goldberger said.
He said Buffalo – which also hosted the National Preservation Conference in October 2011 to great fanfare – could stand to get its message out more loudly.
"I think Buffalo needs to market itself more," Goldberger said. "Let's not pretend that Buffalo can be Bilbao [home to Frank Gehry's acclaimed Guggenheim museum], nor can cultural tourism make up for the loss of a huge manufacturing infrastructure that disappeared. But at the same time, you play the cards you have, and it's one of the strongest cards Buffalo now has. I think Buffalo's reputation is coming up."
In 2003, during an address at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Goldberger said, "Buffalo has a kind of power of the authentic place." On Friday he said he was struck on this visit by increased recognition of how good the city's fabric is, and how it needed to be maintained.
Goldberger said he isn't a fan of posthumous recreations of Wright projects, but made an exception with the detailed recreation of parts of the Martin House Complex. He bemoaned the tragic demolition of Wright's Larkin Administration Building in 1950, and, when asked, said trying to replicate that "would be an interesting question. If somebody raised $100 million, call me back and then we'll see," he said with a laugh.
The architectural historians conference, which has attracted 620 people from many states and 26 countries, continues today with nine historic tours around the city, including the Guaranty Building, the Central Terminal and the Olmsted parks system, and a concluding event at the Martin House Complex's Eleanor and Wilson Greatbatch Pavilion.
An additional six tours are scheduled on Sunday, including urban agriculture projects, the grain elevators and the Larkin District.

Are we prepared for 18 million cancer survivors?
- on June 18, 2012
An estimated 13.7 million Americans with a history of cancer were alive on January 1, 2012, according to a new report from the American Cancer Society (ACS) in collaboration with the National Cancer Institute. Researchers expect the number of cancer survivors to rise to 18 million by 2022.
The report, published Thursday, says currently one in three women and one in two men in the U.S. will develop cancer during their lifetime.
"Increases in the number of individuals diagnosed with cancer each year, due in large part to aging and growth of the population, as well as improving survival rates, have led to an ever-increasing number of cancer survivors," the authors of the report write.
For example, the 5-year survival rate for breast cancer improved from 75.1% in 1977 to 90% in 2007. And 5-year survival rates for childhood cancers are at 82.5%, an increase of more than 24% since the mid-1970s. Nearly half of all cancer survivors are 70 years or older.
Unfortunately, doctors may not be prepared to deal with the problems cancer survivors face.
"More can certainly be done [in terms] of what the needs are and how they can best be met," study author and ACS epidemiologist Carol DeSantis said. "ACS assesses the gaps in resources and finds ways to fulfill those needs."
Long-term effects from the treatment, including chemotherapy and radiation, and from the cancer itself can be debilitating. For example, cancer survivors like Robin Roberts, can face blood disorders years after they go into remission. Others deal with osteoporosis from the damage chemotherapy inflicts on a body's bone marrow.
Treatment can also cause cardiovascular problems, cognitive defects and muscle pain.
Just as pressing may be the psychological effects for patients who fear the recurrence of their cancer, or who realize the higher risk of being diagnosed with a secondary cancer.
"Survivors are relieved to have completed treatment, but may need to make physical, emotional, social, and spiritual adjustments to find a 'new normal,'" the authors write.

By Mark Jezek
Big 12 Campus Correspondent
From a young age German native Patrick Pradella began working towards being an elite tennis player. As an infant, his parents laid him in the yard with an array of athletic options.
"My parents put every type of ball there is out there in front of me," Pradella said. "I picked the tennis ball."
By the age of three, Pradella was growing fond of the sport and had even figured out a way to practice by himself. He began using the baby tennis racket his parents had given him to hit balls off the wall of his house. Just a few years later, Pradella figured he would try his hand at the local tennis club.
"When I was five my mom took me to the tennis club that was near my house and they told me I couldn't play until I was six, but he said he wanted to see what I could do," Pradella said "We played on the half court and I didn't miss a ball out of 50 and he said he had never seen something like that. He asked me to come back every week."
Pradella continued to perfect his game. He started playing competitively just a year later, but quickly realized there was more to the game than just being able to return a ball.
"When I was younger I wasn't very good," Pradella said. "I was always tall, but I didn't move that well. I got beat a lot because there were guys who could run and get to balls. I always lost patience and would miss and lose to guys who would play high over the net because I would lose my nerves. When I turned 16 things changed a little bit as I started to mature. I got more consistent in my strokes and began to get better."
As time passed, Baylor recruited one of Pradella's longtime friends, Lars Behlen who grew up in Munster, Germany, just over an hour away from Pradella's hometown of Bielefeld. Behlen asked Pradella if he would be interested in traveling to the United States to compete in college tennis.
"When Lars decided to come to Baylor he asked me if I would want to come too and I said no," Pradella said. "At that point, I still wanted to be in Germany."
A year after Pradella had rejected the idea of playing in the United States, he had the opportunity to play with the German national team at the Tennis World Cup in France.
"We played the American team in the first round and I thought they were pretty cool," Pradella said. "They all wore the same stuff and did the same stuff. They had a lot of team spirit and I thought that might be pretty fun."
Following the World Cup in France, Pradella reached out to Behlen and asked if Baylor would have any interest in allowing him to play with the team in the next season.
"I remember one day Lars coming into my office and telling me that Pat was interested in doing a semester abroad," said assistant coach Dominik Mueller. "That is how the whole thing started for us. We reached out to him and that summer Coach Knoll and I went to visit him in Germany. From the beginning it was just a one semester deal."
After being awarded two years of eligibility by the NCAA, the stage was set for Pradella to travel to the United States to begin his collegiate career at Baylor.
"I actually didn't come into it with a focus on tennis," Pradella said. "It was more about the advantages for my future. I never thought I would improve as much as I have here. I just thought it was great that I could come here and experience all of these things and play tennis at the same time."
As the 2013 dual-match season started, Pradella began to grow, not only as a player, but as a locker room presence.
"I don't think I have ever seen someone mature and grow as much as he did in such a short time," said Mueller. "He established himself as a leader on this team. It is not so much the wins he has or the position in the lineup, but also his demeanor off the court. He understands what it takes to win a championship."
Only two months into his semester-long stay, Pradella had fallen in love with the college game. Following a 4-3 upset win on the road against No. 16 Florida, Pradella knew he wanted to return to Baylor for the 2014 season.
"We think it is pretty awesome here at Baylor," head coach Matt Knoll said. "I call it paradise and I think it really is. We have some of the best facilities in the country and a great university and just a fantastic environment. I don't see why you would want to leave. We always hoped that he would come back and play another year and I think when he stared to meet some people and make some connections here that it would be pretty easy for him to decide to come back."
The Bears have enjoyed the presence of Pradella in the 2014 dual-match season. Pradella is the only player to play in all 28 matches this season. He has compiled an impressive 20-9 record in singles play this season including an 11-5 mark in dual match play with no win bigger than his Big 12 Championship clinching victory over Oklahoma's sixth-ranked Axel Alvares Llamas.Pradella has made the most of what began as a semester study abroad program. In just three semesters, he has built relationships and memories that will last him a lifetime while also establishing himself as one of the more decorated student-athletes in Baylor men's tennis.

A thread where we post our owned, and desired, guitars. The thread could also be used to sell/trade if folk are interested in that. I'll start:
I've loved Mayones' instruments for some time, ever since I came across one in a guitar shop one day, and I've spent the last hour or so trying to figure out how I could afford that bad boy. It's only £2,699 . The only realistic way to purchase it would be the monthly payments for a year, the drawback there being the 9.9% APR. I'd also have to sell some of my other gear which I find a total hassle - because I'm a lazy twat.
I currently play a Schecter Loomis 7 :
My one has a chrome floyd rose which was not the best quality - it flaked away a bit at the lowest string - but I lost the receipt not long after purchase. Fanny. I got this guitar for £949; I can only assume that they bumped up the price once the better floyd rose was added. Cunts. Still, a cracking guitar that has a more versatile tonal range than it may look.
I've also got a Schecter Hellraiser which is up for sale for £390, even though it's still sitting in my parents house.

HTC believes they have the best smartphone in the world, and they are not afraid to let you know. The Taiwanese manufacturer once embraced "Quietly Brilliant" as their company motto, but now they have adopted a new strategy to promote their flagship HTC One.
"With a continuation of a plastic body, and a larger screen being the most obvious physical change, Samsung's new Galaxy pales in comparison to the all-aluminum unibody HTC One," said Beh Ho, HTC's new Chief Marketing Officer. "This is more of the same. HTC remains the best option for those people looking for the best technology wrapped in premium design. Our customers want original cutting-edge technology, mouth-watering design and a premium feel from their mobiles, which is why we created the HTC One."
HTC President Jason MacKenzie echoed those comments. "Watching the presentation, it looks like [Samsung] invested a lot in marketing instead of innovation." He went on to criticize Samsung's Unpacked event by saying the Galaxy S 4 lacked any significant new features, and noted that many of the software components demonstrated already existed in previous Android smartphones.
We haven't spent any quality time with Samsung's new flagship phone, so it's too early to tell which one will come out on top. However, even if HTC does end up offering a better product, Samsung will be able to outspend them in the marketing department by the billions.
Over the last couple of years we have witnessed Samsung launch an attack campaign against Apple, and it has worked for the most part. The Galaxy brand is now viewed as hip and cool among American youth, while Apple is being seen as the brand of an older generation.
I don't know if HTC's louder strategy will be successful, but I can't wait to see them debut their new marketing message to the public.

GBIF Memorandum of Understanding (Primary: English)Download
GBIF is a multilateral initiative established by intergovernmental agreement and based on a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This is the current MoU document which is valid from 2012 onwards.
The signatories to this non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), being countries, economies, inter-governmental or international organisations, other organisations with an international scope, or entities designated by them, have decided that a co-ordinated international scientific effort is needed to enable users throughout the world to openly share and put to use vast quantities of global biodiversity data, thereby advancing scientific research in many disciplines, promoting technological and sustainable development, facilitating the conservation of biodiversity and the equitable sharing of its benefits, and enhancing the quality of life of members of society. The importance of making biodiversity data openly available to all countries and individuals is underscored by various international agreements. Recognising this need, the delegates to the Meeting of the OECD Committee for Scientific and Technological Policy at Ministerial Level in Paris on 22–23 June 1999 endorsed the recommendation that a Global Biodiversity Information Facility (hereinafter referred to as "GBIF") be established, with open-ended participation. Noting that GBIF was established in March 2001, and that the first and second MOU for GBIF had each a duration of five years (2001-2006/2007-2011), the signatories to this Memorandum of Understanding hereby express their intention either to continue their existing Participation in GBIF or to become new Participants in GBIF as a mechanism of technical and scientific international co-operation.

No matter where you look in the globe, blacks are always the most impoverished and violent race. We need to find an answer to that.
@Bang – You could always inform yourself about history. Just a suggestion.
European imperialism, colonialism, slavery, genocide, resource exploitation, etc went far beyond just North America. The same former colonized countries are still being attacked and suppressed by European governments and militaries.
The colonial economies and forms of power never really ended. In some cases, European governments just overthrew or helped assassinate democratically elected leaders, put puppet dictators and banana republics into power, and supported all kinds of right-wing oppressive states, from fascism to theocracy.
Your accusations are like asking why children that are regularly beaten have lower IQs and more behavioral problems. Then implying that they get beaten because they have lower IQs and more behavioral problems. That still doesn't explain or justify the beatings themselves, especially when it is shown that it is part of a systemic problem far beyond any individual child.
Your argument is morally corrupt and depraved.
European imperialism in South Africa, while, yes, it did segregate blacks and whites and deemed blacks as a lesser race, also advanced black populations in ways that they had never done on their own. Prior to the colonisation the black populations had not advanced beyond hunter/gatherers and some subsistence farming while living in mud huts whilst all throughout Europe and Asia great and wondrous civilisations were being built. Under white minority rule the South African economy and infrastructure and black education, etc thrived. After the black majority took over, all of these things have been on the decline. Label the whites as "racist" if you will, but even living in the comparatively poor conditions in comparison to white communities is still an improvement over what black populations ever did for themselves. It is a fair enough question, and I would like to see an answer to it, if white people are so "racist" and so bad and so "oppressive" then why do black populations follow them wherever they go? Why? It defies logic. It would seem as if black people are overall unwilling or unable to do for themselves and seek to leech onto white society for their betterment. Why does black society seem to need white society so much? It is exclusively white majority countries allowing black African immigration or providing charity to impoverished black African nations. Black populations are not going to get sympathy from Asians (Chinese or Japanese or Koreans). The level of world aid given by white majority countries is completely unprecedented from any other race. White nations overwhelmingly seek the betterment of other races. Asians (used to be Orientals) are a world majority and only provide aid to other Asian populations. It is only white society that has sought out or even cared about the betterment of black society.
A region with a very specific character has been formed by the great rivers— Rhine , , , and Maas ( Meuse )—that flow from east to west through the central part of the country. The landscape in this area is characterized by high dikes along wide rivers, orchards along the levees formed by the rivers, and numerous large bridges over which pass the roads and railways that connect the central Netherlands with the southern provinces.
In the late
Pleistocene Epoch
(from about 126,000 to 11,700 years ago), the Scandinavian ice sheet covered the northern half of the Netherlands. After this period, a large area in the north of what is now the Netherlands was left covered by
(glacial accumulation of earth and debris). In the centre and south, the Rhine and Maas rivers unloaded thick layers of silt and gravel transported from the European mountain chains. Later, during the
Angara Classic Oval Pink Sapphire and Diamond Three Stone Ring hXrcWr9ErE
(i.e., the past 11,700 years), clay was deposited in the sheltered lagoons behind the coastal dunes, and soil often subsequently developed in these areas. If the peat soil was washed away by the sea or dug away by humans (for the production of fuel and salt), lakes were created. Many of these were reclaimed in later centuries (as mentioned above), while others now form highly valued outdoor recreational areas.
The climate of the Netherlands is temperate, with gentle winters, cool summers, and rainfall in every season. Southerly and westerly winds predominate, and the sea moderates the climate through onshore winds and the effect of the Gulf Stream .
The position of the country—between the area of high-pressure air masses centred on the Azores and the low-pressure region centred on Iceland —makes the Netherlands an area of collision between warm and polar air masses, thus creating unsettled weather. Winds meet with little resistance over the flat country, though the hills in the south significantly diminish the velocity of the potent wind that prevails along the coast. On average, frost occurs 60 days per year. July temperatures average about 63 °F (17 °C), and those of January average 35 °F (2 °C). Annual rainfall averages about 31 inches (790 mm), with only about 25 clear days per year. The average rainfall is highest in summer (August) and autumn and lowest in springtime. The country is known—not least through the magnificent landscapes of Dutch painters—for its heavy clouds, and on an average day three-fifths of the sky is clouded.
Most wild Dutch plant species are of the Atlantic district within the Euro-Siberian phytogeographic region. Gradients of salt and winter temperature variations cause relatively minor zonal differences in both wild and garden plants from the coast to more continental regions. The effects of elevation are negligible. Vegetation from coastal sand dunes, muddy coastal areas, slightly brackish lakes, and river deltas is especially scarce in the surrounding countries. Lakes, marshes, peatland, woods, heaths, and agricultural areas determine the general floral species. Clay, peat, and sand are important soil factors for the inland vegetation regions.

Toshiba already has an Ultrabook; the Toshiba Portege Z830, but that didn't stop the Japanese company from showing off a second model at CES in Las Vegas this year.
Currently billed as a concept rather than a finished product, the "14-inch Ultrabook Design" stands out from the Portege model already on sale because it comes with the company's Satellite badge.
Talking to a spokeswoman for the company, Toshiba confirmed to Pocket-lint that the model, if it was to go on sale, would offer a "more affordable" Ultrabook that the one it already sells.
According to the accompanying specs on the stand the new Satellite Ultrabook would feature a 14-inch HD TruBrite display, a sleek, lightweight design with an aluminium finish. It would also feature Toshiba's Hi-Speed Start technology as well as Intel's Rapid Start technology. Users would also get USB sleep and charge.
Ports spotted down the sides of the laptop include HDMI, Thunderbolt, an SD card reader, Ethernet and, of course, USB.
No word on when the new laptop might be on sale but if we hear anything, we'll let you know.
In the meantime, check out our First Look: Toshiba Portege Z830 review

|WA Seasonal Rainfall Outlook: probabilities for February to April 2006, issued 24th January 2006
50:50 chances for a wetter than average season
The chances of accumulating at least median rain during the late summer to mid-autumn period (February to April) are close to 50% across Western Australia, the Bureau of Meteorology announced today. The outlooks are based on relationships between Pacific and Indian Ocean temperatures and Australian rainfall. Recent ocean temperatures have not been sufficiently warmer or cooler than average to produce a strong bias in rainfall outlook odds.
For the February to April period, the chances of above median rainfall are between 50 and 60% over WA (see map).
So in years with ocean patterns like the current, about five or six February to April periods out of ten are expected to be wetter than the median in Western Australia, with about five or four out of ten being drier.
Outlook confidence is related to how consistently the Pacific and Indian Oceans affect Australian rainfall. During the February to April period, history shows the effect to be moderately consistent through most of WA (see background information).
The Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) rose slightly from −3 in November to a value of +1 in December. The approximate SOI for the 30 days ending 21st January was +10.
For routine updates on the latest data relating to El Niño, together with details on what the phenomenon is and how it has affected Australia in the past, see the ENSO Wrap-Up.

|More information on this outlook is available from 9.00am to 5.00pm (WST) Monday to Friday by contacting the Climate and Consultancy section in the Bureau's Perth Office: (08) 9263 2222.
THE NEXT ISSUE OF THE SEASONAL OUTLOOK IS EXPECTED BY 21st FEBRUARY 2006

Burnt Brittle!
The last traces of this year's Jack O'Lantern - the seeds - have been mistreated.
I had been saving them to make the Pumpkin Seed Brittle recipe I've been eyeing for years, resisting the urge to snack on their toasted goodness while they waited patiently in a container in my office (Yetch would have devoured them otherwise).
Today I found the time to make it. Had it heating up on the stove when I thought "oh! I should have my camera and take pictures for the website".
By the time I ran into the other room and retrieved the camera, my brittle went from light toffee to deep amber.
Yetch is still very pleased with the results.
Mmmm this also looks yummi!!
Mmmm this also looks yummi!! We usually bake them with salt. This looks interesting though, a little different than what we usually do:) Have to remember this one for next year!
ooooh, that looks SO yummy!
ooooh, that looks SO yummy! difficult recipe?
That sounds tasty! For the record, when we toast our seeds we don't bother washing them. We just squeeze off most of the slime, then salt them and throw them in the oven :) I'll have to try the brittle though!
I hate it when things like
I hate it when things like that happen. Glad Yetch is still pleased.
