Pixies anyone?
When you use applications on your PC at work in most cases (depending on when you read this) the server component of those applications will be sitting inside your company's datacenter. A small but growing number of users don't get all applications from inside their own datacenters but use externally hosted ones in the public cloud. Those applications are delivered as a service across the Internet to your PC, hence Software as a Service or SaaS.
The difference of course being that your IT department tightly controls what happens inside your datacenter and that it is likely to be very close to you as the user of the application, if not, your IT department can alleviate the distance problem (latency makes applications slow) by using WAN optimization.
Recently Google published a video that gives a peek inside one of their datacenters.
Notice something about those servers? They don't belong to your company do they? And I'm betting you don't live near that particular datacenter either.
So not having any say about what is installed at the Google datacenter and having lot's of distance (latency) between your PC and the server powering your application can be a performance nightmare. Latency makes or breaks a SaaS application.
Microsoft also has this rather nice video about their cloud services, it even starts by asking "where is the Microsoft Cloud?"
Obsessed with performance Riverbed has figured out how to accelerate these SaaS applications so you don't kill the productivity of the average business user who has to use the application every day.
Riverbed, in partnership with Akamai, is delivering SaaS acceleration via our Steelhead Cloud Accelerator (CSA) solution.
We use the Akamai network to find an Akamai server as close as possible to the datacenter powering your SaaS application and spin up a Cloud Steelhead system to provide symmetrical WAN acceleration.
Since you need to traverse the Internet when finding your way to the datacenter hosting your SaaS application there is a good possibility of not having the most efficient route from your PC to the server powering your app. Hence we also use Akamai SureRoute which triplicates the first packet going out to the datacenter and then chooses the path with the fastest round trip response so you not only have a steelhead very close to the datacenter, you now also have the fastest path across the Internet.
The video below shows the actual results of using this technology at Interop 2012 in New York.
So how do you go about enabling this technology? For my next post I'll walk you through it step by step.
The Riverbed Splash community is a network of users and a set of tools for connecting, sharing, and collaborating. Whether you're here to troubleshoot a technical problem,
get best practices on your Riverbed product deployment, or want to learn how to leverage Riverbed's developer tools, you'll find it here in our community.

Juliet Davenport responds to Hinkley C green light
Responding to the news that the Hinkley C nuclear power station is to be given the go ahead by EDF, Good Energy chief executive Juliet Davenport OBE said:
"Giving the go ahead to Hinkley C is a bad move. It will take at least a decade to build and leave our grandchildren an inheritance of high energy costs, hazardous waste, environmental damage, and a plant that needs complex and costly decommissioning. No wonder only 36% of the British public support nuclear, compared to a whopping 76% for renewables.
"The same future generations that will blame us for Hinkley, could instead thank us for a legacy of investment in renewables.
"The transition to renewables is inevitable and brimming with economic opportunity – the UK should embrace it and move forward with a clean, green energy plan."

Are Celebrity Engagement Rings Getting Too Big?
HuffPo declared today that they think celebrity engagement rings are just getting way too big these days—a valid declaration, to be sure—and included a little slideshow of a few choice celebs and their recent gigantic rocks.
Funnily enough, they are celebs who we here at PW have also commented on (see below), and it makes us wonder: What do you think? Do you think these rocks are fun to look at, and eh, what are you going to do, they're celebs? Or do you think they're completely ridiculous and silly looking?

September 29, 2013 (CHICAGO) --The Army honored all mothers who have lost children while fighting America's wars with ceremonies across the country.
Governor Pat Quinn was at the state's 77th annual Gold Star Mother's Day at the Chicago Cultural Center.
Congress created the day back in 1936, and in 1947 the Gold Star lapel pin was created and presented to the soldier's surviving family members.

The most recent Robin Hood-related news stories breaking in the global media!
With his timeless and universal appeal across the entire age spectrum, the iconic hero of English folklore is often seen as the ideal "role model" to front a multitude of educational initiatives and informative learning campaigns that reflect the many worthy principles that the legendary Robin Hood character is renowned for. Research also shows that because the simple stories embrace an element of action, adventure, romance and justice, the characters of Robin, Marian, Little John and Friar Tuck etc. have a particularly strong appeal and influence on young minds in their formative years of schooling.

Do you mind if I talk about a moment of pride that I had recently? I have been meaning to write this post since shortly after Presidents Day. We were camping when the article came out. I got the printed copy on the weekend after Presidents day and figured that I would write a post in the next few days. Where the heck does time go??
On a windy, stormy day back in February 2016, I decided that I wanted to go to Fort Macon to photograph the waves at the jetty. You can see some of the photos that I took that afternoon HERE.
I got some awesome photos that afternoon of the waves and surf but just as I was about to leave, a red shrimp boat came around the corner. He was rocking and rolling in the waves and I started taking photos. We all know that shrimpers are my favorite subject to photograph and here was one in stormy seas!
I got home and processed the photos, putting some on Facebook and some on this site. That would have been the end of it but friend, Jon, thought that I should send one of the photos to the Raleigh News & Observer's, "Your Best Shot". Hmmm…I never have done that type of thing but thought I would give it a shot (pun intended). Low and behold, it was selected and printed in the newspaper. I thought it was pretty cool and then forgot all about it.
Imagine my surprise when I got an email from the newspaper at the beginning of February that read "I wanted to let you know that The News & Observer will be publishing a special section of the best of the Your Best Shot photos we received in 2016, and that yours will be among them. The 8-page section is scheduled to appear on President's Day, Feb. 20. In addition, we will run a special gallery of the photos on our website, newsobserver.com.
Congratulations on being chosen. We are always pleased and impressed with the photos that readers share with us, even more so when we see the best of them assembled in one place". I must admit that having my photo chosen for the best of "Your Best Shot 2016" was a pretty special moment and I felt a sense of pride. It is very cool to see one of my photos printed in a newspaper and also in their website online gallery. A moment of pride indeed – It's the little things. 😊

Lacordaire Academy provides an extensive arts program as outlined below.
Arts Education at Lacordaire Academy strives to discover, mentor, and show appreciation of, the artistic talents of all our students. We pride ourselves in offering Arts Education programming as a way to provide students some space in their day to embrace imaginative thought and creation. Throughout the academy cross-curricular collaborations are created by using a variety of artistic styles and mediums to build and reframe original ideas and foundational concepts. Students enrolled in the Lower School use creative dramatics and "Reader's Theater" techniques to explore a fuller understanding of literature. Middle and Upper School students connect performance and fine art to conceptualize and embody lessons in Social Studies, Science, Math, Literature, Creative Writing, and Foreign Languages. During the current academic year, the arts department intertwined student works of short stories, artwork, and live performance to create a digital multimedia project that will make its debut at the Academy Art Museum in May.
To quote renowned education specialist Maxine Green,
"Arts education, like aesthetic education, can create domains where there are new possibilities of vision and awareness. Art educators can help awareness feed into an expanding life of meaning, can make increasingly available moments of clarity, moments of joy."
Explore how Lacordaire encourages all the possibilities.

JOHANNESBURG (AP) — The South African man who drove a Swedish bride to her death after allegedly being hired by her British husband to kill her on their honeymoon pleaded guilty Wednesday to the slaying and received a 25-year prison sentence after offering chilling details about the killing.
Mziwamadoda Qwabe, 27, described in a statement how he wore yellow gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints the November 2010 night he and alleged accomplice Xolile Mngeni kidnapped and killed Anni Dewani. Qwabe said he helped carry out the killing of the 28-year-old bride for only 15,000 rand (about $2,100), and said he knew her accompanying husband Shrien Dewani paid for the slaying and wanted her dead.
While Shrien Dewani fights extradition to South Africa and continues to deny he orchestrated the killing, Qwabe's testimony offers a second account implicating him in his wife's death.
Judge John Hlophe of the Western Cape High Court accepted Qwabe's guilty plea Wednesday on charges of kidnapping, robbery, murder and illegal possession of a firearm, sentencing him to 25 years in prison. Lawyers and prosecutors also met with Mngeni, who will return to court Monday for the possible start of his trial over Dewani's killing, said Eric Ntabazalila, a spokesman for South Africa's National Prosecuting Authority.
Qwabe and Mngeni's trial has been postponed several times due to Mngeni's poor health. Mngeni had surgery to remove a brain tumor in June 2011.
The Dewanis were honeymooning in South Africa in November 2010, only two weeks after their marriage, when Shrien Dewani allegedly asked taxi driver Zola Tongo if he knew of anyone who could kill his wife, investigators say. A third man put Qwabe and Tongo in touch, where they planned to fake a car hijacking in Cape Town's impoverished Gugulethu township, Qwabe said.
"The kidnapping and robbery were part of the plan to make it appear that this was a random criminal act, unconnected to (Tongo) and the husband," Qwabe's statement read.
The two men hijacked the car late at night and made a point to steal Anni Dewani's Giorgio Armani wristwatch, a white gold and diamond bracelet, her purse and mobile phone, Qwabe said. As the two men dropped off the husband and Tongo, the taxi driver leaned over to whisper their money was hidden inside the car, Qwabe said.
As Qwabe drove, Mngeni kept a 7.62 mm pistol pointed at Anni Dewani in the backseat until he pulled the trigger, the fatal shot going through her neck, the statement read. Panicked, Qwabe said he stopped the car and got out, helping Mngeni find the spent bullet casing. He threw the casing into a sewer as they ran away into the night.
Officials at first thought the crime was robbery in South Africa, where violent crime is high but attacks on foreign tourists are rare. Later, however, Tongo testified that Shrien Dewani offered him money to organize the killing, pleading guilty to the slaying and receiving an 18-year prison sentence.
Dewani has denied he hired anyone to kill his wife and was allowed by authorities to leave South Africa for the United Kingdom, where he was later arrested. In March, a U.K. High Court ruled that it would be "unjust and oppressive" to extradite Dewani to South Africa, as his mental condition had worsened since his arrest there. Dewani's lawyer told the court in a hearing July 31 that he needed at least a year to recover from depression and post-traumatic stress disorder before being potentially sent back to South Africa.
Ashok Hindocha, Anni Dewani's uncle, said Wednesday that her family was pleased by Qwabe pleading guilty, but that they still "want to know what really happened."
"The way we feel is that we are going through legal torture," Hindocha told the U.K. Press Association. "It is extremely stressful for the family."

Nicolai and Vivian. It's a match made not so much in heaven as at the world's most famous art dealership Sotheby's. And this is a story where a girl's best friend isn't a diamond, but the Russian diamond broker in London.
Almost exactly three years ago Gerald Browne's superb novel "Stone 588" charmed the American mystery reading public. Browne's stories all center on the diamond industry. "Hot Siberian" - and that could be either Nick himself, especially around Vivian, or the precious rocks he represents - maybe just as good.

Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History
The Museum has entered into a 5-year agreement with the Columbia Basin Institute of Regional History to digitize our entire photograph collection. If time and funding permits, this could expand to maps and other items that can be scanned/photographed.
This is a very exciting opportunity as we have been trying to digitize our collection ourselves for a number of years! We are very grateful for the Columbia Basin Institute's support.
The first batch of the photos were taken to Cranbrook a few months ago to get started, and from there the first section has been uploaded to their website for everyone to see! Take a look at their website (and search Rossland or Rossland Museum) to see the amazing photographs – some of which we haven't shown publicly in many years or even at all!
You can also find the Institute on Facebook where they regularly post photographs from collections all over the Basin.

CSI: NY Review: "Smooth Criminal"at . Comments
I've been waiting patiently for an episode to come along that would echo the promise I felt at the very beginning of this season, and - pardon me for saying - I was hit by "Smooth Criminal."
Finally, the missing balance found its way back into CSI: New York with a story that had emotional grounding and a thrilling mystery. The contrast between the police investigation and the scenes between the hit man and his captive were enticing and made me really have to think about what was going on.
Even the overused device of making the audience believe the police were knocking on the hit man's door instead of some random suspect achieved its goal.
Ne-Yo was excellent as the hit man, listed in the credits only as the Handsome Man. He was cold but cool, and I admit I was sort of rooting for him. I wanted the Handsome Man to make a clean getaway. He was a villain, but the sort that has an obvious code otherwise he would have killed his target, Camille, at the end.
I suppose it could be argued that he didn't shoot her because he had developed an attraction to his target in the short time they spent together. I believe it's much more likely that he spared Camille because Dr. Kumi ended her contract once she sent a secondary assassin to finish the job.Speaking of Dr. Kumi, I had fan girl moment when I saw Adrienne Barbeau. She's one of my favorite Catwomen, and knows how to spin an evil character.
I knew that Dr. Kumi would probably have a bigger hand in the story than her first interview with Danny and Flack suggested. The character's true motives were played close to the vest, and it was a genuine surprise for me when Dr. Kumi turned out to be the mastermind behind the fake medication.
I had been quite convinced that Camille was more sinister than Dr. Hawkes wanted to believe. The history between the two characters helped to strengthen the sense of urgency for the CSIs to find where Camille was being held captive.
My lingering complaint is one I've had for a while, but it's really starting to bug me more and more. Jo needs some fleshing out. She needs a character flaw, and the tiny tidbits of information she always just happens to know need to be given to another character.
A story involving the character showing there's more to her than being a perfect ex-FBI superwoman would do the trick.

Yes, you can buy the LG G Watch right now on Google Play. Yes, you can also buy the Samsung Gear Live. But you don't care about those, do you? You want the Motorola Moto 360. But you can't buy it right now. And that makes you sad. But you can watch this new product demo from Motorola. And that should make you happy.
What more can be said about Android Wear and the Moto 360 that hasn't already been said in the last couple days? It's been a long time since we've seen this kind of hype for a device. With the possible exception of Google Glass, we don't think a wearable has ever been talked about so much. There's a buzz in the air that the Moto 360 will be the smartwatch to beat for the next year. And after seeing the hands-on demos and now this promotional video from Motorola, we have to agree.
There isn't anything special shown in the video, but it's something to hold you over until Motorola makes with the real deal. Check it out below.

As the hype for cloud computing rises ever higher, the issue of security is becoming a hot topic in the information exchange industry. The benefits of working in the cloud are immense, but many fear the risk posed by having their sensitive data accessible by the cyber-ether.
Quantum computing to the rescue. Researchers at the Vienna Center for Quantum Science and Technology (VCQ) at the University of Vienna and the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) have successfully demonstrated how quantum-enabled computers can process information without ever knowing anything about the information it's processing.
Here's the gist of it: the user prepares qubits (kinda like the quantum computer equivalent of 'bits' in a classical computer) in a state that's known only to him/herself and sends those qubits to the quantum computer via photons (light particles). The quantum computer then waves its magic wand and entangles the qubits according to a standard scheme. The processing of the information can now be performed using a measurement-based method so the computer only has to perform simple measurements on the qubits. The user would send measurement instructions along with each qubit, which is then sent to the quantum server. The computer does its thing, sends the results back, and the user then interprets the computed information using the original state to decode it. Anyone who caught the information in the middle wouldn't have a clue how to decipher it without knowledge of the initial state!
Since the cost to create a quantum computer is a little bit outside of the average geek's price range, it seems quantum computers won't be helping you keep your parents unaware of your porn stash, but are more likely to be used in specialised facilities around the globe. This concept will work seamlessly with the direction the world is taking, operating everything in a cloud that is controlled by central remote servers.
Only now the whole up-in-the-air issue of security becomes that much more grounded.

Ofcom has published today a document advising on new mobile broadband systems for moving vehicles including passenger aircraft.
The Earth Stations and Mobile Platforms technology relies on the newest advances in satellite technology for high-speed data transfer, allowing customers to check their email, surf the web or stream videos while aboard an aircraft.
"Recent innovations in satellite technology mean that it's now possible for planes, ships and trains to access the Internet at speeds closer to what you'd expect from home broadband," said Ofcom's Charles Jenne.
"Ofcom is proposing to allow the use of this technology in the UK, which could benefit business users and holiday makers who want to stay connected while travelling."
While several satellite operators are already taking steps to launch a commercial high-speed broadband service for aircraft, Ofcom is laying down a framework for private companies interested to run this service.
According to Ofcom's current proposal, the pricing would be entirely in the hands of those companies.
The anticipated service would be up to ten times faster than what is currently available aboard some trains, buses or planes and should offer improved coverage.

But mostly, we sit at opposite ends of the table on the porch and do our own thing. This year she was working on her annual bird calendar, which is sold at some area galleries and the show we do with others at the holidays.
I was focusing on my summer project -- practicing painting and drawing.
And work we did. For hours in the warm, northern Michigan air, taking breaks to 'go jump in the lake' or walk or read. Oh yes, and to enjoy wine, cheese, the fruit and veggies that are summer's bounty. (That's Rick's cheddar-jalapeno bread and boy, was it good!)
We were joined one afternoon by three of our book club members, two of whom have moved up north, another who was visiting and headed back home.
We had planned on lunch (which was mighty delicious -- egg strata, salad and cherry pie, brought by Gretchen, for dessert.) And lots of talking!
But of course art was involved. Kitty prepped journal pages, Gretchen got motivated for some scrapbooking projects and Maura did her own art therapy, with a little watercolor that expressed a release of work tension!
There was Lizzie time, too. And Lizzie did the most amazing thing! She sat on our laps, and this never, ever happens. She sat voluntarily, actually jumped up on both of us, and settled in for a long cuddle.
I cannot tell you how elated I was! And I didn't want to move a muscle!
The Eiffel Tower is a favorite subject of mine. I've never really mastered it but this is the closest so far!
And Montmartre -- I've done this painting before in a smaller version. It's not quite right, but getting better!
Now, I an tell this is Rick. But it's not quite right, either. I don't have the face right. But I was very proud of the fingers.
Here are a couple of cat drawings. I'm very bad with cats -- but working on it. Both were done more or less from life -- mostly less, because as mentioned before, my model is only still when she sleeps.
I think she looks too much like a kitten in this one! A starving kitten!
Life at the lake.
It's oh, so good!

Surge for Green Party in Colombian Election
Colombia's may 30 presidential election seemed like a foregone conclusion. Until a few weeks ago, Juan Manuel Santos, defense minister under President Álvaro Uribe from 2006 to mid-2009, held a crushing lead. That made sense: Santos played a key role in Uribe's brass-knuckle security policy, which transformed Colombia from a guerrilla-infested narcostate into a stable, prospering democracy.
But Santos didn't count on Antanas Mockus, a mathematician and ex-mayor of Bogotá. He hails from the fledgling Green Party, founded just last year, but the latest polls show him tied with Santos in the first round and beating him handily in the June 20 runoff. That may seem surprising, but Mockus is no amateur. Many Colombians now take peace and prosperity for granted: they want something more. Mockus woos centrists by promising law and order, while luring lefties with a New Age, pro-environment message. An outsider, he is also charming younger voters who have tired of Uribe's overbearing style, as evidenced by his (failed) bid to rewrite the Constitution to allow himself a third term. Mockus's rise suggests that Colombians are eager for measured change and a fresh face. Yet the Greens hold only eight of the Parliament's 268 seats. Mockus's real challenge may not be winning but governing.

|Background: The embryonic chick provides an excellent model system for studies of development. However, it has lacked an efficient loss-of-function method for studies of gene function. Results: We show that avian retroviruses can deliver hairpins mediating RNA interference to the developing chick eye. These viruses 'knock down' specific genes in infected areas of the retina. The knock down persists as the retina matures and can be detected using in situ hybridization. Furthermore, the amount of retinal tissue affected can be controlled by manipulating the degree of infection. Conclusion: This technique provides a rapid and efficient loss-of-function option for studies in the developing chick retina.

BUNNELL -- If code changes are approved by Flagler County, private animal sanctuaries and shelters would become a "permitted special exception" in agricultural districts and limited to five animals per acre on a minimum of 10 acres.
The County Commission on Monday approved the first reading of the ordinance amendment spurred, in part, because a court order expires in November preventing the owner of the Pig Tales Sanctuary in western Flagler County, Lory Yazurlo, from keeping pigs. Yazurlo didn't attend the meeting, but sent a note to The News-Journal earlier in the day.
"I guess the reason Flagler officials would like to regulate private animal sanctuaries is if they have a problem with the sanctuary or the sanctuary violates a regulation or simply annoys neighbors, the County will have a legal means to close down and/or kill all the animals," she wrote.
Yazurlo was ordered by County Judge Sharon Atack to turn over hundreds of pigs to the county in November 2010. The order followed a lengthy battle between Yazurlo and county, state and federal officials over her failure to comply with previous court orders regarding the pigs. Atack's sentencing order also placed Yazurlo on probation for charges of cruelty to animals and unlawful abandonment or confinement of animals and prohibited Yazurlo from having "custody, supervision, possession or responsibility for the care of pigs" for 12 months.
"We don't want to bump up against the freedom to farm act," said Flagler County Administrator Craig Coffey. "We try to address the problems we've had over the years. Problem sanctuaries haven't fit into the 'farm' definition."
While the proposed ordinance recommended a minimum of five acres, Commissioner Barbara Revels asked for that to be increased to 10 acres. Additional acreage may be required for larger animals, like horses, or to mitigate noise and odor.
Revels also asked that all animals, regardless of age, be counted.
"An animal is an animal," she said.
Coffey said babies were initially kept out of the count because a cat rescue, for example, may take in litters of kittens that are soon adopted and don't add to the permanent population.
At its peak, Pig Tales housed more than 800 pigs. The county took possession of 389 pigs in November 2010 that were euthanized almost immediately because county and state officials deemed them unhealthy -- some diagnosed with pseudorabies.
"I was doing it the right way; they had adequate food, vet care when needed, and I would euthanize animals if they were suffering," Yazurlo said in her note. "All fencing problems were fixed, all pigs were castrated, no pigs were pregnant, and I had not taken in any new pigs for more then nine years."
If approved, the new ordinance will require private sanctuaries to have emergency plans in place and require a veterinarian to sign off on those plans. Instead of property lines, fences will have to be built within a setback area to further protect neighbors.
"We have no standards now," Coffey said. "We're trying to fix that."
Yazurlo said she feels for anyone who will come under the "county's control with their proposed changes." "They devastated my whole world," she said. "I will never be the same."

Insiders described Diageo's interest in Mey Icki as "exploratory", adding that the London-listed company is "kicking tyres" with a view to making a bid.
A deal is unlikely to complete until well into the new year.
US buy-out firm TPG Capital, which owns Mey Icki, is also weighing up an initial public offering of the maker of Yeni Raki, Turkey's favourite national tipple. Sources said TPG Capital's focus is floating the Turkish company rather than selling it in an auction.
Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, JP Morgan and Bank of America Merrill Lynch have been appointed to manage a flotation of Mey Icki, said people familiar with the matter.
Mey Icki had been state-owned before the private-equity firm bought it for about $800m in 2006.
Diageo's interest in Mey Icki underlines the desire among major Western companies for emerging market acquisitions.
Indeed, an acquisition of Mey Icki would help establish Diageo's market share in Turkey as the business has access to roughly 50,000 retail outlets in Turkey.
However, a deal for Mey Icki hangs on whether the drinks giant will be able resolve a continuing legal dispute with Turkish customs authorities.
Several major liquor importers have been asked to pay more customs tax on liquor it imported into Turkey between 2001 and 2009. It is thought Diageo's bill could exceed £100m.
Any buyer of Mey Icki will also have to contend with high alcohol taxes, which prompted Danish brewer Carlsberg to withdraw from the market in 2008. The government has ramped up taxes on alcohol since taking power in 2002.
Diageo, though, has a track record of buying up local spirit brands. As part of a joint venture in China, Diageo produces the Shui Jing Fang brand of baijiu, a white spirit.
The drink accounts for about half of China's alcoholic-beverage consumption by volume. Diageo is currently trying to take majority control of that venture from its Chinese partner.
Diageo declined to comment.

Amazon's freemium du jour
This morning, Amazon asked me to ask you (my readers) to download their free song for Valentine's Day:
Give the Gift of Music on Valentine's Day, Courtesy of Amazon MP3So, as with other freemium models, Amazon wants me (and you) to come get the free thing and hopefully buy one of the premium things.
Today and Saturday only (2/13/09, 2/14/09), Amazon MP3 is offering a free download of the quintessential Valentine's Day song, "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye. We urge you to pick up one of our newly created banners and delight your online audience with the gift of music on this special occasion.
Free Stuff Drives More Sales!
It's no secret that "Free" is a big motivator online. Use this free song to entice your audience to click through to Amazon where they are likely to buy more items. It only takes a few clicks to download the free song and begin shopping for more.
To link directly to the song and earn referral fees on subsequent qualifying purchases, use the following link format, replacing "YOUR_ID_HERE-20" with your Associates ID:
We also have newly created banners for you like the ones shown below:
I've been an Amazon Associate since the summer of 2005, and this is the first time Amazon's e-mailed me offering something free (let alone encouraging me to promote something free). They already have a page offering weekly MP3 deals including $5 albums and $0 songs. If people were bookmarking that page — as I did when I was a regular Amazon MP3 downloader — then they wouldn't need this promotion.
One possibility is that the economy is soft, and consumers are cutting back, either not getting music or stealing rather than buying. If so, we should get some indication of this with all paid download services, such as Apple's.
Another possibility is that their 2008 demand was temporarily stimulated by their Pepsi Stuff promo, and once that ended, traffic has fallen dramatically.
Which brings me to something that's been bugging me. There are signs that the promo did not end as scheduled, but was terminated abruptly by one of the two parties. The termination date was badly publicized to participants. More tellingly, 6 weeks later, the grocery stores are still selling Pepsi 12-packs offering Pepsi Points, suggesting that Pepsi had expected the promo to extend past December 31.
Tantalizingly, the answer appears to be in a Billboard interview with the chief marketing officer of PepsiCo North America Beverages. I say "appears" because the Billboard.biz freemium model gives me answers to two of the six questions they asked, but the only way to get the rest is to sign up for a $25/month Billboard subscription. So I have to hand it to Billboard for effectively using their paywall, but it means I don't have that extra datapoint on how Pepsi viewed the promotion and (perhaps) why it ended so abruptly.

The Incendiaries
A Novel
By R. O. Kwon
Narrated by Keong Sim / 5 hours 11 minutes
The Incendiaries
"R.O. Kwon's debut knocked me sideways. The Incendiaries is a serious reckoning with the problem of fanaticism and the violence of blind devotion. The story of Will and Phoebe is told with an extraordinarily smart and soulful style. I was amazed at how perfectly Kwon's spare language fit her novel's expansive scope. A stunning portrait of what faith can do and undo, The Incendiaries will delight and disturb. But, most of all, it will impress."John Francisconi, Bank Square Books
Dear Mrs. Bird
By AJ Pearce
Narrated by Anna Popplewell / 9 hours 48 minutes
Dear Mrs. Bird
"What initially seems like a breezy career girl story quickly turns into a gripping novel set in the WWII London blitzkrieg. During the nightly bombing runs, Emmeline volunteers at a nearby fire dispatch center. She dreams of becoming a journalist, but instead lands a day job screening advice-seeking letters for a weekly magazine, Woman's Friend. All too soon, she and her friends become victims of the bombings and must deal with losses and new horrors each night. In Dear Mrs. Bird, AJ Pearce has given us a most memorable story about both the visible and hidden casualties of war. Recommended for all, including book clubs!"Nancy Simpson-Brice, Book Vault
Meet Me at the Museum
A Novel
By Anne Youngson
Narrated by Helen Lloyd & Lars Knudsen / 6 hours 29 minutes
Meet Me at the Museum
"This charming novel is told entirely in correspondence between Tina, a woman of a certain age in England who is questioning her place in the world after her best friend's death, and Kristian, a Danish museum curator who is adrift after the death of his wife. As their correspondence evolves and their friendship develops, they realize that the world may have more to offer than they initially thought. Meet Me at the Museum is sweet without being cloying, gentle without insulting the reader's intelligence, and a completely enjoyable read."Carol Schneck Varner, Schuler Books
Where the Crawdads Sing
By Delia Owens
Narrated by Cassandra Campbell / 12 hours 11 minutes
Where the Crawdads Sing
"Where the Crawdads Sing is a stunning and beautiful novel that readers will want to simultaneously savor and devour with every luxurious word. You'll hear the gulls cry on the beach through these pages, you'll see the light flickering through the marsh trees, you'll smell the homemade grits sizzling on the stovetop. Your heart will ache for the lonely marsh girl and your wheels will start turning when a body is discovered, but you'll never regret reading this gorgeous novel."Amanda Zirn, Bethany Beach Books
A novel
By Nico Walker
Narrated by Jeremy Bobb / 8 hours 5 minutes
"Cherry is a book for our times, a bit like if Jim Carroll, Denis Johnson, and Tim O'Brien had conspired to break your heart. Walker's writing is bare and essential, direct and unforgiving. Whether or not the reader has any sense of war, PTSD, or addiction, they will have a clearer one by the end of this blistering debut. I can't wait for an encore."Mathew Clouser, BookPeople
The Family Tabor
A Novel
By Cherise Wolas
Narrated by Jonathan Davis / 13 hours 22 minutes
The Family Tabor
"When you have the most skillfully prepared, decadent dessert placed in front of you, do you plunge in and devour it? Or do you slowly savor it? This is the happy predicament I find myself in when approaching the work of Cherise Wolas. Harry Tabor, a 70-year-old Jewish man living in Palm Springs, is about to receive the 'Man of the Decade' award for a lifetime of service to refugees. His beautiful, interesting, and seemingly perfect family is congregating to celebrate. In the span of less than two days, the story of their lives unravels and revelations occur. This brilliantly executed novel is filled with secrets, repressed memories, and unforgettable characters under a blazing California sun."Damita Nocton, The Country Bookshop
JELL-O Girls
A Family History
By Allie Rowbottom
Narrated by Allie Rowbottom / 7 hours 43 minutes
JELL-O Girls
"An absolutely fascinating memoir that combines a personal family account with one of America's most recognizable foods. Seamlessly exploring the foundation of her family's wealth and the seemingly cursed lives of three generations of women, Rowbottom has written a page-turning cultural history that hits on both the nostalgia many associate with Jell-O and the societal forces that propelled the brand."Kelly O'Sullivan, R.J. Julia Booksellers
America for Beginners
A Novel
By Leah Franqui
Narrated by Soneela Nankani / 10 hours 48 minutes
America for Beginners
"A poignant story that confronts cultural, racial, and gender stereotypes through three people who end up on a trip across the U.S. The story revolves around a Bengali widow of means whose gay son was disowned; a young Bangladeshi man who has a job as a tour agent; and a young, white American woman who aspires to be an actress. These three are united in the journey initiated by the widow to tour the U.S., but really to find her son and confront his lover. Courage to face the unknown — whether it is a foreign country or questioning a previously held conviction — shapes the story and shows that we all have the potential to grow and change."Susan Bush, Island Bound Bookstore
Baby Teeth
A Novel
By Zoje Stage
Narrated by Gabra Zackman / 11 hours 6 minutes
Baby Teeth
"I am a little afraid to write a review after finishing this book because I have the terrible feeling that I'm being watched, this due to the suspicion that seven-year-old Hannah has jumped from the pages of the book straight into my head — something she undoubtedly planned the entire time, despite the obvious impossibility of it all. I could not put this book down — simply fascinating."Debra Barrett, Where the Sidewalk Ends
The Reservoir Tapes
The Reservoir Series: Book #2
By Jon McGregor
Narrated by Fiona Hardingham, Justine Eyre, Sarah Nichols, Tim Gerard Reynolds, Ralph Lister & Simon Vance / 3 hours 17 minutes
The Reservoir Tapes
"The Reservoir Tapes chronicles the disappearance of a young girl in a small English village, with each chapter written from the perspective of a different resident. It's not an easy writing feat, but Jon McGregor is able to instill a unique narrative clarity for every single character, weaving the young girl's disappearance with the distinctive stories of each villager. More than a missing persons story, The Reservoir Tapes is about the very universal and human struggle to find meaning and the sacrifices we have to make to feel safe, loved, and truly at home. If you haven't read anything by Jon McGregor before, make sure not to miss his latest novel!"Morgan McComb, Raven Book Store
Goodbye, Paris
A Novel
By Anstey Harris
Narrated by Tania Rodrigues / 8 hours 57 minutes
Goodbye, Paris
"When Grace's quiet existence takes an unexpected turn, she is forced to reevaluate her life and reassess who she is and what she is capable of. Goodbye, Paris is a beautifully crafted, bittersweet tale of one woman who feels her world collapse, but with some help from friends picks herself up, dusts herself off, and discovers that she can become her best self. An engrossing and uplifting story that will appeal to readers of Elizabeth Berg, among others."Tova Beiser, Brown University Bookstore
The Middleman
A Novel
By Olen Steinhauer
Narrated by Ari Fliakos / 9 hours 43 minutes
The Middleman
"Two modern-day revolutionaries, one violent and one not, band together to get their message out to the masses. Violence explodes, and the movement is destroyed. Or it is? Two FBI agents who are in the middle of everything -- one in seclusion in the mountains and the other who just barely escaped an assassination attempt -- must unite to find the real answers to this international conspiracy. With a subtle nod to 1992s "Sneakers", Olen Steinhauer crafts a fast-moving intrigue that has echoes of politics today."Cary Shapiro, Plot Twist Bookstore
Fruit of the Drunken Tree
A Novel
By Ingrid Rojas Contreras
Narrated by Marisol Ramirez, Almarie Guerra & Ingrid Rojas Contreras / 12 hours 25 minutes
Fruit of the Drunken Tree
"Fruit of the Drunken Tree made me cry at the airport. I was impressed by the small kingdom of women Contreras builds, with violence always threatening to creep in, all seen through the eyes of Chula, the youngest daughter. Contreras made her perspective believably cloistered while masterfully writing all the people around Chula in ways that made them feel real. Also masterful was the way Contreras used Petrona's narrative throughout and the restraint she showed in dipping into her thoughts; she always left me wanting more. What Contreras chooses not to write has as big an effect as what she does. This novel is a dynamic exploration of what is known and, sometimes willfully, what is left unknown."Lillian Li, Literati Bookstore
Kill the Farm Boy
The Tales of Pell
The Tales of Pell: Book #1
By Kevin Hearne & Delilah S. Dawson
Narrated by Luke Daniels / 12 hours 38 minutes
Kill the Farm Boy
"Wildly unpredictable, tremendously goofy, and brilliantly inventive, Kill the Farm Boy is a laugh-out-loud fantasy trope extravaganza. A talking goat, a fierce warrior, a bumbling rogue, a wannabe dark wizard, and an enchanted bard set out on a quest full of adventure, mishaps, and lots of cheese. I can't count the number of times I giggled, snorted, and chuckled at a clever quip or ludicrous joke. Fans of Monty Python and Robin Hood: Men in Tights will definitely find Kill the Farm Boy to their liking."Sami Thomason, Square Books
Chesapeake Requiem
A Year with the Watermen of Vanishing Tangier Island
By Earl Swift
Narrated by Tom Parks / 12 hours 50 minutes
Chesapeake Requiem
"I was so impressed with this story of Tangier, an exploration of science, history, religion, and culture driven by emotionally salient commentary from people who live there today. I thought it was particularly interesting to learn that the community is conservative both religiously and politically, but their home is being swept away by rising sea levels thanks to climate change, which is usually a politically charged topic. It was also interesting to have insight into what is likely the United States' first group of 'climate refugees' — terms that are also politically charged. Thoughtfully, lovingly, and intelligently done. An important read!"Chloe Groth, Content
A Noise Downstairs
A Novel
By Linwood Barclay
Narrated by George Newbern / 9 hours 8 minutes
A Noise Downstairs
"If you're looking for a wild ride, look no further, because you're not going to get wilder than A Noise Downstairs. For a book that seems to have a little of everything — unresolved trauma, untrustworthy characters, a mysterious typewriter, and a hefty dose of the paranormal — Barclay tells his story with a smooth ease that will pull you through the pages at a breakneck speed. And, well, no spoilers, but the ending will blow your socks clean off."Marya Johnston, Out West Books
His Favorites
By Kate Walbert
Narrated by Gabra Zackman / 3 hours 27 minutes
His Favorites
"Kate Walbert is one of my favorite writers and she continues to create memorable novels, as evidenced by this new one. There's something about the way she tells her story of a young girl struggling to balance a wild energy with a soft heart who is preyed upon by a charismatic and overbearing teacher that makes the novel both sing and pierce the heart simultaneously. I read this in one evening and was completely overtaken by it. It is excellent."Sheryl Cotleur, Copperfield's Books
Tiffany Blues
A Novel
By M. J. Rose
Narrated by Tavia Gilbert / 10 hours 25 minutes
Tiffany Blues
"After spending my vacation reading an entire stack of rather intense psychological suspense novels, I wasn't sure what kind of book I was ready for next! Alas, I picked up Tiffany Blues and couldn't stop reading. This book offers the reader so much to think about: it's a mystery, it's a love story, it's historical fiction, and, at the heart of it, it's art. Rose's newest follows Jenny Bell, an artist with secrets. The men in her life are domineering and the women can be that way, too. Jenny's story is as captivating as the backstory of Louis Comfort Tiffany and his art colony. I've read many books by M.J. Rose and this is definitely a favorite."Joanne Berg, Mystery to Me
Spinning Silver
A Novel
By Naomi Novik
Narrated by Lisa Flanagan / 17 hours 56 minutes
Spinning Silver
"Spinning Silver takes the bones of Rumpelstiltskin and turns it into a story about female agency and power. While the six person narrative structure could be a bit tricky to follow, narrator Lisa Flanagan brings Miryem, Wanda, and Irina to life and readers will soon be caught up in the magic Naomi Novik weaves."Nikki, Zenith Bookstore
The Great Believers
By Rebecca Makkai
Narrated by Michael Crouch / 18 hours 16 minutes
The Great Believers
"This flawlessly written and lovingly told story weaves the immediate toll AIDS took on the Chicago gay community in the 80's with the longterm impact on survivors and their families. Makkai threads it all compellingly together with art world intrigue and institutional drama. I don't want to diminish it in any way with comparisons, but The Great Believers brought to my mind several of my favorite contemporary novels: A Little Life, Three Junes, and The Goldfinch. Rebecca Makkai, in my opinion, has launched herself into a whole new category of literary achievement with this, her third novel."Becky Dayton, The Vermont Book Shop

What Should You Care About on The Affair?
Helen. And the houses are nice.
The Affair returns for its second season on Showtime this Sunday, and the series picks up close to where season one left off, with its strengths and weaknesses fully intact. It's a show that has moments of real drama and intrigue, unfortunately wrapped in a not-all-that-interesting split narrative. Did you know that people often self-mythlogize, especially in moments of crisis, trauma, or romance? Indeed they do. As we head into season two, here's a list of whom and what to care about, from the most to the least important.
In season one, our only perspective characters were Alison (Ruth Wilson) and Noah (Dominic West). In season two, Helen (Maura Tierney) and Cole (Joshua Jackson) get added into the mix, too, so we get to see more of their lives sans original partners. Helen is the most interesting among the leads, especially as her life unravels before her. She's independently wealthy, but not exactly independent of her overly present mom (Kathleen Chalfant); her children remain generalized monsters; and her divorce is moving forward with or without her input. Tierney perfected that detached weariness on ER, and Helen has a lot of Abby's expressions this season — not helpless, exactly, but not helping herself, either.
The Affair doesn't always hold its stories together all that well (how much time is elapsing?), but it gets a perfect 10 for its stunning locations. Every vacation house is more glorious than the next. Let's all just make rustic, Goop-inspired dinners while looking out at the shore through our expansive kitchen windows. Pass the casually open, no-big-deal wine, and let's make a toast to always dressing in linens and always banging on available surfaces.
Noah's Superhuman Smugness
Noah comes across as an unbearable sonofabitch in the parts of the show that are told from his perspective, and from the perspective of the woman who falls in love with him. The show has a ball making us loathe his oblivious self-regard. But then it also fuels that by letting Noah basically earn his smugness: He wrote a novel in what, a few months? And it's a big hit? And he banged every woman for a while there? Maybe he is the king of New York.
Remember Max? Noah and Helen's old friend, who kissed Helen on the mouth in front of the kids? He's back. He's kinda weaselly, but a little bit interesting at least.
Cole's Man-Pain
Recall that Cole is very sad, first because his and Alison's son died, second because Alison left him, third because his family's Montauk ranch is apparently not worth as much money as anyone had hoped, and fourth because he's undecided about his whole beard situation. There was also a whole drug subplot that was a snooze, so just keep in mind that Cole knows what drugs are.
The Kids
There's nothing much going on here plot-wise — just remember they are the absolute worst. The oldest daughter is the worst-worst, but they're all terrible.
The Murder
It's supposed to be so central to the show, but the whole murder investigation is the least compelling part of the series. Did Noah kill Cole's brother Scotty? The investigation continues in season two, but oh God, who cares.
