The reaction among pundits to Christine O'Donnell's surprising win over Representative Michael Castle in yesterday's Republican Senate primary in Delaware has been interesting, to say the least. Polling done early in this race suggested that O'Donnell, who lost two previous bids for the Republican Senate nomination, was destined to lose a third time. Instead, she won convincingly, 53.1% to 46.5% – a victory that likely owed something to support from the Tea Party movement.
If the pundits are to be believed, however, Republicans have just snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Castle, a well-known Republican with a moderate voting record (that record placed him as the 11th most liberal member of the Republican House caucus) was viewed by most observers as the stronger candidate, one capable of beating the Democratic nominee Chris Coons in the general election for the Senate seat previously held by Joe Biden. O'Donnell's win was another sign, according to conventional wisdom, that the Republican Party has been captured by the ideological loony-toon fringe who seem intent on purging the party of any sane individuals that might possess centrist predilections. Karl Rove captured this sentiment well when, in dismissing O'Donnell's chances of winning in the general election, he cited the "nutty things" she has been saying. Similarly, Politico led their Delaware coverage with this paragraph: "The Republican Party's hopes for winning back the Senate rest on a perennial candidate with a sketchy employment history who has dissembled about her education, defaulted on her student loan and her mortgage, sued a former employer for mental anguish, railed against the evils of masturbation and questioned whether it would have been OK to lie to prevent Nazis from killing Jews during World War II."
With those credentials, it's hard to believe she won! But then again, we have heard this refrain before after Tea Party-backed candidates secured Republican Senate nominations in Nevada and Utah, and when the libertarian candidate won the Republican primary in Kentucky. After each election pundits suggested that the Republican Party, by nominating a fringe candidate, had actually lessened its chances of securing the Senate seat in the general election. For Tea Partiers and their ideological kin, the critics suggested, principle appeared to matter more than politics.
Well, maybe. I understand the logic behind this argument, because it is a logic I've pushed myself, in previous blog postings, to explain the growing polarization of Congress. Turnout in primaries tends to be low, and disproportionately weighted toward the more ideologically-extreme voters in each party. In the general election, however, turnout is higher and independents and more moderate partisans are more likely to participate. The Tea Party candidate is thus likely to do less well in the general election.
As the Tea Party keeps defying the odds and wracking up victories, however, one must ask whether it is really a fringe movement, or whether it has successfully tapped into the sentiment of a substantial portion of the electorate – one which is likely to act on those sentiments and vote in the general election too?
Consider the Delaware Republican Senate primary. The Times Jeff Zeleney notes that "The primary drew 57,000 voters, a small slice of the overall electorate." What he did not report, however, is that this number represents a 32% turnout rate among registered Republicans. I searched the Delaware state records for statewide primary turnout in all elections dating back to 1990 (the earliest year for which I could calculate turnout data) and guess what? Yesterday's turnout was the highest recorded (at least as far as I could tell) for almost any primary – presidential or midterm election – since then. (Here is the turnout data I was able to cull from the Delaware records for all the primaries, including presidential primaries, dating back to 1990. It's incomplete, and I had to do some back-of-the-envelope calculations to derive many of the figures, so use these numbers with caution. (Note that I am comparing turnout rates – not the number of voters. ) Moreover, there are surely contextual differences that make comparing turnout across different elections problematic. Nonetheless, the data indicates yesterday's turnout was extraordinarily high – higher, even, than turnout for primaries held in some presidential election years.
|Year of Primary
|Republican Turnout
|Democrat Turnout
|15% (Dem Pres. Primary)
|23.5% (Presid Primary)
|6.5% (Presid. Primary)
Note that in 2006, when O'Donnell finished a distant third in the Republican Senate primary, statewide turnout was only 8%. When Castle won the U.S. Representative seat in 1998, turnout in the general election was only 39%. (Of course, this represents a far bigger voting pool. I don't have totals for the primary for that year, or for 2000).
My point is that I think it's difficult to categorize O'Donnell's win as simply the triumph of the narrow slice of the Far Right fringe brigade. In fact, the focus on O'Donnell's views may be misplaced. I suspect this was as much a vote against Castle as it was a vote for O'Donnell. Indeed, all the virtues the pundits cite in Castle's favor – his moderation, experience (read: age – he is 71) and long history in Delaware politics – are precisely the factors that cost him the election. This doesn't mean O'Donnell will win the Senate seat come November. The latest polls have her losing by double digits to Coons. Delaware is a solidly blue state, with 47% of registered voters affiliated with the Democrat Party compared to 29% Republican. (There are 24% in the "other" category.)
And yet – how many voters will show up to vote in the general election come November? I do not have much knowledge regarding Delaware politics, but it would not surprise me if turnout was up, particularly among Republicans. Having listened to the same conventional wisdom (of which I was a part) in the run-up to the election to replace Ted Kennedy, and with polls there showing Martha Coakley far ahead of Scott Brown two weeks before the special election, I am far more skeptical now that the punditocracy really has an accurate read on voter sentiment this election cycle. We may get a clearer picture when the first post-election polls begin coming in.
In the meantime, the Delaware result, I think, is relevant to the larger issue I raised in yesterday's post, when trying to explain the difference in the political science forecast models. Those models that incorporate some measure of voter sentiment, such as the generic ballot results, are predicting a much greater seat gain for Republicans than do the models that are based only on structural factors, such as economic measures. O'Donnell's victory may – and I stress may – provide some evidence that the models incorporating voter sentiment are likely to be more accurate. Voters are angry and are taking out that anger on anyone associated too closely with the Washington establishment. This sentiment may not be broad enough to propel O'Donnell to victory in November (although I am not counting her out). But it doesn't bode well for the Democrats more generally.

- Sauber news
Sauber confirms Gutierrez for 2013 race drive
- Drivers:
- Robin Frijns
- |
- Esteban Gutiérrez
- |
- Kamui Kobayashi
- Teams:
- Alfa Romeo
Sauber has confirmed Esteban Gutierrez will drive for its team next year after the news slowly leaked out over recent weeks.
Gutierrez will join Nico Hulkenberg to complete Sauber's race line-up, with World Series by Renault champion Robin Frijns securing the reserve drive. Gutierrez came third in the GP2 championship this year and has completed several F1 tests with the team going back to its days under BMW ownership in 2009.
"Esteban has already been part of the team for a long time and we have followed his career very closely," team principal Monisha Kaltenborn said. "In 2010 we signed him up as an affiliated driver, and in 2011 and 2012 he was our test and reserve driver. We mapped out his path to Formula One step by step. Esteban has great talent and now he's ready to take the leap. We are in no doubt we have a strong driver pairing in place for the 2013 season with Nico Hülkenberg and Esteban Gutiérrez."
Gutiérrez added: "After three years working with Sauber I feel very grateful for all the attention I have received from everyone in the team and for all their input, which has allowed me to develop into a Formula One driver in a very progressive way. Now, after experiencing other categories of racing as an introduction to Formula One, this is the start of the real challenge to succeed at the pinnacle of motor sport. The support from my family, as well as from my sponsors, has been a key factor in getting there and I am very grateful to everyone who has been involved in our project. It will be a great pleasure to be racing in the same team as an experienced driver like Nico Hülkenberg. He will be a good reference point for me and will push me to adapt quickly to F1 competition so we can develop the car together with the team in the best way."
Still up in the air...
- Caterham: Charles Pic confirmed, second driver open
Force India: Paul di Resta expected but not confirmed, second driver open
HRT: De la Rosa contracted, second driver open
Lotus: Second driver expected to be Grosjean but not confirmed
Marussia: Glock contracted, second driver open
Williams: Maldonado expected but not confirmed, second driver open but expected to be Valtteri Bottas
"I would very much like to say a few words about Kamui Kobayashi as well. Over the last three years Kamui has shown us he is not only a fierce competitor on the track, but also a wonderful person and fantastic team player. Every member of our team has the greatest respect for him, and his podium in Japan was a particularly emotional moment for all of us. This has not been an easy decision for us to take, but we have committed ourselves to a new beginning and our time with Kamui will come to an end after the final two races of the season. We wish Kamui all the best for the future. Our thanks also go to Sergio Pérez, who has claimed three podiums for the team so far and now has the opportunity at McLaren-Mercedes to display his immense talent with one of the most successful teams in Formula One history. We would also like to wish Sergio all the best and every success for the future."
She also welcomed new reserve driver Frijns: "Monitoring Robin's racing career makes it easy to spot his potential. This was the reason we gave him the chance to drive the Sauber C31-Ferrari at the Young Driver Days in Abu Dhabi. He managed this very well. We will now carefully guide him to Formula One. This is a long way, but Robin has got the skills to do that successfully."
Frijns added: "I'm very happy the Sauber F1 Team has given me this opportunity. I would like to thank Monisha Kaltenborn and Peter Sauber for their belief and trust in me by signing me to join their team as a test and reserve driver. With this opportunity I will try to help the team as much as possible and get the chance to learn how Formula 1 works in an extremely professional environment. I am already very much looking forward to getting the 2013 season started and working together with the team."

After two years of living in Europe, my wife and I have returned to the US—specifically to Oakland, California. Although there are some public transit options (and I bike a lot), we've decided that we want to get a car to share between the two of us. So, I turned to where most of us turn these days to buy pretty much anything: Craigslist.
But Craigslist is starting to show its own wear and tear. After all, its basic design hasn't changed since 1996! That means comparing car options involves lots of browser tabs and lots of patience. Each post isn't formatted in the same way. It's hard to do an obvious comparison between similar vehicles, or to know if the asking price is a good value or not. (I've spent a lot of time toggling over to Kelley Blue Book.) Plus, there are way too many sketchy "salvage title" sales. There had to be an easier way. So I put out a call on Facebook and the Internet did not disappoint.
Thanks to a friendly tip, I discovered Carsabi. It's a new Silicon Valley startup which describes itself as being, "in the process of indexing every automotive vehicle known to man." The Mountain View-based company recently received an undisclosed amount of seed money after demoing at Y Combinator, the "boot camp for startups." (For better or worse, Carsabi apparently will also be featured on the new Bravo show, Silicon Valley.)
The site scrapes listing and image data from Craigslist (and other sites, like eBay Motors), adding "approximately 17,971 new listings per day." That translates to about 1.5TB of crawled data every 24 hours. The site aims to do for used car sales what's been happening for years on AirBnB, Padmapper, and other sites that take online data and apply it to real-world, high-value objects and services. In just a few months of service, Carsabi seems poised to upend used car sales. (And, you can filter for only clean titles!)
As its co-founder, Dwight Crow, wrote in a March 2012 article for The Atlantic, "because most dealerships and classifieds are now online, Carsabi can crawl them directly and automatically, resulting in more than 1.8 million vehicles per month from the effort of two engineers and a few computers."
The site then compiles that data into a slickly-packaged format, resizes the images properly, adds information that I probably could look up on my own (factory-listed mileage for example), and then automatically performs a scatterplot distribution of how this price compares to other, live prices across the site. Crow says that the Amazon cloud services alone (he and his co-founder are unpaid as of yet) run about $4,000 per month.
Carsabi makes looking for used cars foolproof, with a clear "poor deal," "fair deal," or "good deal" across the top. That's great for someone like me who has struggled to know what is or isn't a good price in the past. Buying a used car becomes much more user-friendly.
What to buy
The first questions, obviously, are what kind of used car to buy, how much do we want to spend, and how long do we want to own it? I've owned two Toyota Corollas previously, and I have a trusted, independent, local garage that only does Toyotas and Volvos where I'd like to continue going. I have no less than three family members that own Priuses (two of those were bought new), and have driven those before, so those are worth a look. My wife and I (the only drivers) aren't going to be doing all that much driving—I work at home (thanks, Ars!). So we're looking primarily at Toyotas, but are open to other used car options under $15,000 with less than 100,000 miles. Hopefully, we'll drive it for several years.
I previously thought the essential shorthand deciding factor in buying a car was its fuel efficiency (those gas prices aren't getting cheaper anytime soon). Here in eco-conscious northern California, the Prius is one of the top hybrids. A 2005 Prius is listed at 48 mpg city and 45 mpg highway, while a 2005 Corolla is 28 and 37, respectively. So the Prius should obviously be better, right?
But after talking with Crow, what I'm now actually interested in is the "total cost of ownership." Those of you that are gearheads, economics nerds, or the super car-buying savvy probably already knew this. I didn't. Turns out, that's a tough figure to actually calculate (and it's a feature that may come in a future upgrade on Carsabi, Crow says).
So I spent some time creating a big online spreadsheet (Google doc), using data from Carsabi, including average mileage per year (the government estimates 15,000 miles annually for my demographic—in reality it will probably be much less for us). I also assumed that gas will be $4.50 a gallon (right now, it's closer to $4.25 here). When it comes to gas prices I'm a bit pessimistic.
What have I learned? That when it comes down to it, the premium paid for a used, high-mileage Prius is essentially lost when compared to a used, cheaper Corolla. I know I'm not the first one to figure this out, but it was surprising when I actually sat down and did the math.
Personal preference
"Generally, a Prius owner only needs to add gas, service the car regularly, and buy tires," says Model Garage's website. I called them up to ask them to get a few more specifics, and checked in with one of their mechanics, Robert Perkins.
"The Prius shines in the short drives," he said. "Maintenance over the life of it could possibly be less because it doesn't need brakes as much. The Corolla will need brake replacement."
That's largely due to the Prius' regenerative braking system, which is more cost efficient than a conventional braking system. In other words, a combined rear and front brake job, which a Corolla would need somewhere after 50,000 miles, would run about $700 at this particular garage. However, the Prius has a battery, which the Corolla doesn't have. After all, as a hybrid car with a battery, it needs to be replaced at some point—and that ain't cheap at around $3,000. In California, hybrid batteries are guaranteed for 10 years and 150,000 miles, but some people have reported that they last to 200,000 miles or longer.
"I would pick the one you like driving the best," Perkins concluded. "That's the bottom line. The one you can see out of, where the buttons and controls are. Sometimes the Prius is like a giant video game to drive with the screens and such. The Corolla just has a radio. The more simple the car, the less is going to happen to it, and the Corolla is simpler. The Prius is a driving computer. Bottom line: both those cars are good choices. Personally I lean towards the Corolla, but then again, I'm kind of old-fashioned."
The bottom line
So, which will we buy yet, and how will we buy it? I'm not quite sure.
I'm leaning towards the Prius, but the fact is that there just aren't that many available. I've got Carsabi set to email me as soon as new nearby Priuses and Corollas under $15,000 and under 100,000 miles become available.
But, once I find one that I like, Dwight Crow gave me a few good tips to being ready to pull the trigger on buying a car.
1) Plot out a buying radius and locate "the most OCD garage you can find," one that you know and trust, and/or one that has lots and lots of good Yelp reviews.
2) Before meeting the seller, run the VIN on Carfax and find another if there are any red flags.
3) Once you find a listing that passes the smell test, call within 30 minutes if you can. Good deals will go fast.
4) Meet the seller, and drive around with them in the car for 15 minutes, and "gun it on the freeway." Make sure the car sounds right at all speeds.
5) Take it to the garage with the seller and get a 100-point inspection, and have the garage call both parties when done. You (buyer) should pay for the inspection.
6) Meet back at the garage and negotiate if the car is going to need service in a relatively short amount of time.
7) Close the deal. Everyone drives home happy!
Possible Carsabi upgrades?
Ultimately, I feel like I've been pointed towards the future of used car buying.
What Carsabi has done right, is make it easier for us normal folks to more easily understand larger data sets in a digestible, dataviz-friendly format. Sure, lots of that data was out there already; hardcore number geeks and auto nerds will have figured this out, but I think a lot of people will find Carsabi's services useful.
I also found that once I had a better handle on real-world sales data, that I was hungry for more data. I created that spreadsheet and did my best to put in estimates to get a better sense of what these cars will cost over the longer term. And in my case, it yielded surprising results—the premium paid for Priuses is not a clear advantage. Crow himself even pointed me to his friends at Leaky.com, which gives real-time car insurance estimates. I'd love to see Carsabi integrate what I've done in spreadsheet form in a simpler and much better designed format. It would be great to take cars that I've saved from my search profiles and automatically populate estimated maintenance and insurance costs to get a more complete picture of the "true cost of ownership."
But of course, your mileage with Carsabi, as they say, will vary.

Miranda Lambert Wants to Record With Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood
While many fans would assume that country music's leading ladies would be fiercely competitive with one another, Miranda Lambert recently dismissed those assumptions, saying she would really appreciate collaborating musically with fellow blonde starlets Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood.
The 'Over You' singer tells OMG Yahoo, "There is room for [all of] us three [in country music]. We are all three different [types] of country -- well Taylor's kind of all over everywhere -- but I think it would be cool for the three of us to collaborate."
That's the open-hearted kind of attitude one would expect Lambert to have, as her sweet smile and outgoing attitude make it easy to believe that she's everyone's best friend.
Lambert also cheerfully admits that she loves girl power, especially within the genre. "I say the more the merrier! It's not competition," she assures, adding, "It makes us all look better to help each other." While we haven't heard what Swift or Underwood feel about the so-called competition, we know what Lambert (who is out on her Locked and Reloaded Tour with Dierks Bentley) thinks about her fellow ladies in country.
The three beautiful blondes are all nominated for 2013 Grammys, so we'll see them bring their girl power to music's biggest night on Feb. 10. Here's to hoping they'll all be sporting a new accessory (in the form of a trophy) at the end of the evening.

Just wanted to say I loved Curse of the Wolf Girl. As I knew I would. It was thrilling and very funny. There was so much going on with so many plots threads and characters to keep track of that you could probably have got two or three books out of the material. I especially loved Vex and her character journey. Couple of quesations for you:
1. I was wondering what happened to Kalix's love for The Runaways? I don't think it was mentioned as far as I can remember.
2. Please tell me that you intend to continue writing all about Kalix and co. I'd be bereft without anymore of their adventures.

Kalix would rhyme with 'Alex,' more or less.
There will probably - possibly - be a third book, though I haven't started writing it yet.
The film option for Lonely Werewolf Girl is making reasonable progress, although film options very often come to nothing in the end.
I'm not sure if these werewolves would ever meet the good fairies. Though actually, it's not an impossible thought.

Hello Martin, I hope you had a decent Halloween. I have been in the mood to dress like a werewolf for the past month or so, mostly because I am currently reading Curse of The Wolf Girl. First a friend and I dressed in drag and were Jack and David from the movie An American Werewolf in London, and our boyfriends dressed as Teen Wolf and his friend Stiles. Then I made a costume that was basically just me as a werewolf. Like a certain werewolf in your books I also enjoy punk rock and have pink hair, so I was definitely inspired by your books while making my costume. I got my friend to take some photos of my costume for you. The pictures here are on my blogReplyDelete
along with some photos of our other costumes.
It's actually pretty difficult to turn the pages of a book with claws, but you get the idea. Thank you for doing what you do.

loved the new Kalix book it is just so much fun to read.... estatic that there will be a new Thraxas book i am currently re-reading them ... please do not stop writing!!!!ReplyDelete

Martin, Just wanted to drop a note that Curse was a great followup to Lonely werewolf Girl. Some sequels leave something to be desired, but I think Curse had an excellent story. No sequelitis at all. It does not hurt that you have so many compelling characters to draw from. I think you could make many novels with these characters. *wink* *wink* make more please.ReplyDelete

I did of course love curse of the wolf girl. Vex was queen vex for a brief while too, great boots Vex. I've been reading LWG to a friend in hospital, I hoped she'd relate too Kalix but not too much. Waterstones Ipswich now seem to spread you around the shop. Dreams of Sex and Stage Diving among the novels, Good Fairies in Fantasy and Thraxas of course and LWG and CWG in horror. If only Lux and Alby sign on is reprinted you could make it to the Graphic novel section. After years searching it's great to see things back in print and in the shops. I love it and you. Fantastic power of internets and Millar.ReplyDelete
Hi. Just thought you might want to know John Scalzi has thrown his blog open to authors to promote their books on it. He gets about 45K visitors each day, so it might be a good opportunity to plug Curse of the Wolf Girl. Free publicity is always good right?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous9:27 pm
Hi, I myself just finished reading Curse of the Wolf girl. I absolutely loved the story just as much at the first one. I sincerely do hope there is at least a 3rd one down the line, Kalix's story is fantastic from start to finish and the supporting cast is interesting and varied. I look forward to more of your work.ReplyDelete

Mr Millar, I just wanted to say how much I love your books! Picked up Lonely Werewolf Girl on a whim at the bookstore and couldn't put it down. Was only too happy to find Curse of the Wolf Girl.

Hi Marin,ReplyDelete
thank you very much for your novels. I started to read the Turai/Thraxas novels some years ago (actually when the first came out in German) and enjoyed them a lot. It is not the typical fantasy good vs. bad epical stories and I came to like Thraxas' pragmatical and sometimes zynical humor and behavior.
I really really hope that you find the time to finish the series.
Until then I think that I will start the lonely werewolf girl. Sounds interesting too.
kind regards
- Anonymous12:12 pm
Hi Martin! Well, I've just finished Curse of the Wolf Girls and I find that it's fantastic. It's so funny and so special!...I hope you're already writing the sequel because all is kept in suspense so i wanna know how will end Moonglow and Daniel's "love story" and naturally if some of the wolf girls will be able to get in love!ReplyDelete
Oh, you've got a great gift in description and dialogues so...i love your books!

Been reading books for awhile now very few authors raise my attention, You have, I have read of yours,good fairies,Lux and ruby.When I read the first Werewolf book I could not put it down. I devoured every page wanting more. The second did not disapoint me. Now I am left wanting more. I related to Kalix, being myself Bi-polar and often in trouble. Her battle madness is how it feels when you have a really bad manic episode. You won't backdown and are extreamly aggressive and argumentative. Of course very little blood is spilled Lol. You are the first author I have ever written to. I enjoy the seamless way you move through the book engageing one lot of charectors and moving backwards and forwards amongnst them. Very rythmic even melodic to me.ReplyDelete
I give you a one woman standing ovation,

You are a comedy god. The fact that you watch anime makes you even awesomer. Just finished all eight Thraxas books and they were superb, as were your werewolf books and the good fairies of New York. The thing about Jane Austen and the walnut oil in your difficult sex story has to be one of the greatest comedy contributions to all of human culture that has ever been and ever will be. I'm feeling pretty crestfallen with how Thraxas ended with no sequel in sight, but I'm looking forward to reading more about Kalix (who is basically the werewolf equivalent of Makri, though perhaps a little bit more drug addicted). Hit me up at email@example.com if you want to talk about anime; I'm pretty much a fanatic that downloads the fansubs as soon as they are available for pretty much everything.ReplyDelete

Dear Mr. Millar: If you write a ninth THRAXAS book I would be willing finance a limited edition hardcover, signed and numbered, profusely illustrated with donated fan art, and giving any revenue beyond my break-even to a charity of your choice. Once this limitied edition sells through you can then make available as an ebook or do whatever you like with it. What do you say? Respond at bigbookroom (at) gmail (dot) com. We can even make a webpage on your blog for readers who want to reserve a copy in advance and we can take pre-sale orders to get an idea of exactly how many to print for the limited edition.ReplyDelete

Hi Martin,ReplyDelete
just a little dity to let you know I LOVE "Lonely Werewolf Girl" hesitating to finish it....don't want the story to end ! Gladly, I found that there's a sequel *YEA !* so I purchased that last night, along with "The Good Fairies of New York". At 53, I wish I had found your "colorful" books sooner, but now's a good a time as any !
ps: I don't have "cable tv" either....HAH !
28th May 2012 - I recently finished a first draft of a ninth Thraxas novel, though it's still some way from completion. When it's ready, I plan to sell it as an ebook. I'll also make the other eight Thraxas novels available as ebooks. It will be some months before this is all ready to go, but it is on the way.ReplyDelete

Thank you Martin for writing this book. Made my day, week and month. Takes a good writer to do that. Thanks, SteveReplyDelete
9 July 2012: So excited to hear that there will be a ninth Thraxas book - really enjoyed all of them (and almost all of your other books too!). Book 8 was great, but if it had been the end of the series, it would have been quite frustrating. As I'm getting on in age, I hope the ninth comes out while I am still around! Publishing as eBooks is excellent - I have nearly all of the books in that form (can't find book 8 in that form), as well as on paper. Paper books still beat eBooks in most respects, but for convenience and size the eBook wins every time, and I can take so many with me in a Kindle/iPad/Mac/PC, so that I can take my pick when away from home.ReplyDelete

I think it would be funny if Tharax is thrusted into a leadership position. Most of the city officals have either been killed or have fled the city to unknown locations. Tharax is still a standing tribune & has not been released (voluntary or unvoluntary) from his position. Maybe some rarely used law would promote him to an acting dictator while at a state of emergency (similar to the Roman republic).ReplyDelete

Hi there,ReplyDelete
First off, I wanted to say thank you for writing The Good Faeries of New York. I have Crohn's Disease and I'd never seen a (main) character with this condition written about before. It was a pleasant surprise & an introduction to your work!
I am also really fond of Lux the Poet. I enjoy the fact that you write about characters who don't usually get written about, & do so with imagination & compassion. Recently I came across a translation of Li Bao's poem where he travels to Tianmu Mountain in a dream, and wondered if that was where you got the inspiration for Kalia (and to some degree, Lux)? I wrote a bit about the poem on my blog, under Oblivion Monstrosus.
Again, thanks for writing! Looking forward to the next Kalix.
Hi, Martin.ReplyDelete
Love & care from Russia! I am fond of your books, actually. Suzy Led Zeppelin & Me is just the kind of stuff teen frustrated girl wants to read.
I have an ass-huge question.
I've got a hell-lot of troubles at home. My granny hates me, mom yells at me, dad is just kind of paranoic + doesn't want me to be anywhere but at home. I have no bloody idea what should I do.
Protest? Leave home for a week or so? Tell'em I do what I want then fuck off forever? What? Can you advice me basically ANY way of dealing with the situation without insulting my parents?
Thanks anyway,
not hoping for you to answer,
I wish I could help you Irene, but I couldn't offer you any helpful advice. I really don't know what you life is like in Russia. Also, I never got on that well with my parents either. I will just have to wish you good luck, and I hope you manage to sort out your problems.Delete

Martin Millar! Fantastic series so far, I am incredibly psyched about the series...(so far?) I really hope that you continue to write more adventures about Thraxas as this is such an amazing storyline. 9 books is quite a lot...but there should definitely be some closure to the Orc War. Thank you for hours well spent...I laughed at the humorous antics Thraxas always found himself involved, and felt mystified when this unorthodox Sherlock deduced, and discovered the perpetrator of the crime. There are no other books remotely similar to this, so I ask you; PLEASE continue to write these stories!ReplyDelete

I have just finished 'Thraxas under Siege' - Ace. I liked the previous books but this one I found the most exciting. I am hooked on the continuing story lines of this and 'at War'. Going to get the 'Ice Dragon' book ordered - so glad I have only just read 'under Siege' and not when it was first released as otherwise I would have been waiting years for the sequel.

I don't quite understand the question. You dont need to download any apps to read the Thraxas ebooks. You just buy them direct from Kindle, or iTunes, or any of the ebook stores listed on the Thraxas website.

Linda Evangelista, Gisele Bundchen, and Karen Elson Star on New i-D Covers
Everyone needs someone to look up to, so for the role-models-themed Fall 2012 issue of i-D Magazine, Daniele Duella and Iango Henzi photographed a litany of the industry's boldface names for a series of beautiful covers.
Gisele Bundchen is captured in black and white, surrounded by wavy tendrils of her own hair. Isabeli Fontana, made up like a classic '40s femme fatale, makes a neck brace look like the chicest, easiest-to-wear accessory there is, and Karen Elson's fiery hair is pushed into an extremely experimental shape.

Pick up to 3 flavors from our long list of options. You can mix up to 3 shots of flavor. Here are a few ways you can blend:
That's almost 30,000 combinations! How is that for options?*3 shots of a single flavor can sometimes result in changing the flavor or in a flavor that is too strong.
You can have a maximum of 3 flavor "shots" added to your e-Liquid. You can choose a single shot, a double shot or a triple shot*.*A triple shot of flavor can sometimes result in changing the flavor or in a flavor that is too strong. We recommend 1 or 2 shots for most flavors.
You can have a maximum of 3 flavor "shots" added to your custom blend. Depending on the number of flavors you select, you can choose to add extra flavor to any of the flavors.
EXAMPLE: if you select 3 flavors, you can only have a single "shot" of each flavor. However, if you select 2 flavors, one of the flavors may have a double "shot". Single flavor blends can have Single, Double, or Triple shots.
Choose from almost 30,000 different flavor combinations that are expertly blended and created by VaporFi Vapetenders®. The power is all yours: select 1, 2 or 3 flavors or double shots to create a completely customized vaping experience. Experience a limitless galaxy of tastes and relish in the sophisticated alchemy of e juice creation. Discover your new all-day-vape today!
Select from 50% PG / 50% VG, 70% PG / 30% VG or MAX VG
Are you a beginner?
50/50 provides a lighter throat hit accompanied by stronger vapor production. 50/50 is ideal for beginners.
Do you use a sub-ohm vape tank?
MAX VG provides the lightest throat hit and heavy vapor production.This is the ideal blend for sub-ohm vaping.
Do you use a Cig-a-Like?
70/30 provides a stronger throat hit and stronger flavor. 70/30 is the perfect blend for the Express e-cigarette.
Selecting higher/lower PG or VG is a personal preference that depends on how strong or light you prefer your throat hit, vapor production and taste. Below is the experience you can expect from PG vs. VG:
Propylene Glycol (PG):
Vegetable Glycerin (VG):
We recommend that all newbies start off with 1.8%. This is the most comparable level to a traditional cigarette and will provide the best results for those just making the switch for the first time. We also offer other levels of nicotine, allowing you to truly customize your vaping experience.
The nicotine level will directly affect your vaping experience and performance of your electronic cigarette. The term "throat hit" is commonly used to describe the intensity of your vape. As you experience with different nicotine levels, we suggest that you move slowly and do not make drastic jumps. Moving from 1.8% to 2.4% is recommend over jumping straight to 3.6%.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please give us a call to speak to one of our friendly reps or visit one of our retail locations where we you can speak directly to one of our Associates.
We recommend that all newbies and non-drippers start off with 1.8%.

As you experience with different nicotine levels, we suggest that you move slowly and do not make drastic jumps.
When using high wattage devices commonly used for dripping, you will always want to cut down the nicotine strength that you would use with lower wattage devices. This is because sub-ohm and low-ohm coils allow your body to absorb the nicotine faster and more efficiently. Most drippers will use 0MG, 03MG or 06MG and on occasion a 12MG sub-ohm dripping.

The VaporFi® Express Battery comes in two different switch options:
Automatic Switch
The Automatic Battery is the easiest battery to use and operates like a traditional cigarette. When you puff on your electronic cigarette, you are telling a computer chip located inside the battery to activate the atomizer and automatically produce vapor. When using the Automatic Battery you can create the thickest vapor by priming your e-cigarette, simply by taking one long deep puff and thicker vapor will be produced on subsequent puffs.
Manual Switch
The Manual Battery has a small button that you press to activate the atomization process and hold down while smoking. Manual batteries require no priming like the automatic batteries and produce thicker vapor more quickly and with less puffs. The Manual battery version will last about 25% less than the Automatic, but will create more vapor. Many people find that the button on the manual battery is manageable and does not interfere with their electronic smoking experience.
The choice of an automatic or manual battery really is a personal preference. You should consider if you don't want to have to press a button, then the automatic battery is probably a better choice for you. On the other hand, the manual battery does produce thicker vapor, and the best choice if you think this will enhance your electronic smoking enjoyment.
Atomizers are used to vaporize vape juice (e-liquid) in your tank. Atomizers are consumables as they degrade with use and need to be replaced. Higher resistance coils will last longer but produce less vapor. Lower resistance atomizers will last a shorter period of time but produce more clouds. Temperature control atomizers (NI/ TI) are to be used only with a temperature control device, in temperature control mode. Temperature control atomizers save battery and give vapers more control over their vaping experience. A new atomizer means getting the most out of your vaping experience. As atomizers degrade, your clouds and flavor will lessen.
2.5, 2.2, 1.8, 1.5, 0.5, 0.45, 0.25, 0.2 and 0.15 are measurements of the atomizers' power capability. 2.5, 2.2, 1.8 and 1.5 are high resistance atomizers meant for long lasting and less voluminous vape. . Atomizers below 1.0 are low resistance atomizers that last for a shorter period of time and produce larger vape clouds. Temperature control coils are also read in resistance (Ni200 0.15, 0.25) and have recommended temperatures for the optimal experience.
Like vape juice, atomizers do not last forever. There's nothing more frustrating than having to deal with a burnt atomizer. Atomizer types vary, so have a couple of extra packs handy to keep your vaping experience fresh. Be sure to always have several replacement atomizers on hand.
All Our E-Liquids are Diacetyl-Free
Diacetyl (pronounced die-AS-i-til) is found naturally in low concentrations in foods such as butter and beer, and is a byproduct of fermentation. High exposure to diacetyl in production settings has been linked to rare respiratory illnesses such as coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Although the risks are much lower for vapers inhaling diacetyl-containing e-liquids, it is important to know the potential consequences of extended diacetyl inhalation. Studies have found that e-liquid containing diacetyl may cause harm to the respiratory system over time.
This E-Liquid is Acetyl Propionyl-Free
Acetyl Propionyl (pronounces Ah-see-tel Pro-pee-ih-nil) is typically used as a solvent for cellulose acetate, lacquers, paints, inks, and is also used as a starting agent for drugs, dyes, and pesticides. Most commonly, it is known as an artificial flavor, particularly within the vaping industry for e-liquids. It has a flavor and aroma profile that have been known to carry a particularly sweet, creamy, buttery, cheesy, and fruity flavor, with notes of caramel.
Currently there is some controversy surrounding the use of this substance in vapor products, though no concrete evidence has emerged to explicitly label it as harmful. There has been discussion of acetyl propionyl causing damage to the respiratory tract, and it has been known to harm the lungs in studies done on animals. For the time being, until further research emerges, we will carry e-liquid brands that contain acetyl propionyl, but we will identify them as such.
This particular eLiquid DOES NOT contain acetyl propionyl.

The University of South Carolina Beaufort softball team swept the first Sun Conference weekly honors of the season Monday.
Junior shortstop C.J. Browder was voted the Sun Conference Player of the Week and freshman Ashlie Layman earned Pitcher of the Week honors after the duo helped the 21st-ranked Sand Sharks improve to 6-0 on the season.
Browder powered one of the NAIA's most potent offenses, going 5 for 13 with a double, a home run, three runs scored and seven RBIs over the weekend. She hit home runs in her first three games as a Sand Shark and is batting .429 for the season. She leads the NAIA or is tied for the lead in doubles (3), home runs (3), total bases (21) and RBIs (12).
Layman has been outstanding coming out of the bullpen for USCB. She has not allowed an earned run in 6 2/3 innings over four appearances to begin her collegiate career, and she picked up her first win as a Sand Shark on Sunday, coming on in relief to pitch 3 2/3 scoreless innings and beat NCAA Division I Savannah State.
Today's home doubleheader against Edward Waters has been postponed because of rain and rescheduled for Monday at 2 p.m.
The USCB baseball team's doubleheader at Voorhees has been postponed, with the make-up date to be determined. Friday's home game against Embry-Riddle will start at 2 p.m.

(Corrects to show Meretsky worked on the Mac, not iPad and iPhone)
By Noel Randewich
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 22 (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices Inc has hired two senior engineers with experience at Qualcomm Inc and Apple Inc, its latest high-level recruitments as it diversifies beyond a slowing personal computer industry, sources close to the chipmaker said.
Charles Matar, with expertise in low-power and embedded chip design, joined as AMD's vice president of System-on-Chip Development, two sources said. Matar most recently worked at Qualcomm.
Wayne Meretsky, who worked at Apple in the 1990s on the Mac, was named vice president, software IP development, they said. Meretsky will lead software developments for AMD's chips.
AMD spokesman Drew Prairie also confirmed that AMD hired the two engineers to help the chipmaker expand into new markets, but he did not provide details.
AMD depends on the PC industry for about 80 percent of its revenue. With sales in that business falling due to a growing preference for smartphones and tablets, the company is rushing to expand into new markets for its chip processors and graphics technology.
One of Silicon Valley's oldest chipmakers, AMD has experienced major changes in its lineup of executives and senior engineers since Chief Executive Rory Read moved over from PC maker Lenovo in 2011 promising to make the struggling chipmaker more efficient.
In October, AMD announced it was laying off 15 percent of its workforce, its second round of job cuts in less than a year.
Matar and Meretsky both worked at AMD earlier in their careers. Their return follows chip guru Jim Keller, who joined AMD as chief architect in August last year.
Keller was previously a director at Apple in charge of designing mobile processors used in the iPad and iPhone.
Sunnyvale, California-based AMD hopes to increase sales in markets such as communications, microservers, digital signs and stripped down "thin client" computers. It wants those non-PC markets to account for as much as 50 percent of its revenue within three or four years.
Matar will focus on designing SoCs, or "system on a chips," which integrate several features found on a computer into a single piece of silicon. The technology is widely used in smartphones, tablets and embedded devices.
The chipmaker plans to ship a new low power processor, codenamed Temash, for tablets and hybrid laptops running Microsoft's Windows 8 platform in the first half of this year.
Its Kabini laptop processor, also planned for early 2013, will have 50 percent better performance than its predecessor, according to AMD. (Reporting by Noel Randewich and Richard Chang)

Professor Alfred I. Tauber
Contact information:
Phone: ++972-4-8249560
Prof. Tauber speech after his election
Professor Alfred I. Tauber retired from Boston University in 2010 as Zoltan Kohn Professor emeritus of Medicine, Professor emeritus of Philosophy, and Director emeritus of the Center for Philosophy and History of Science. Having received his B.S. and M.D. degrees from Tufts University, he completed his clinical and research training at the University of Washington, New England Medical Center and the Harvard Medical School affiliate, Brigham and Women's Hospital. He became Chief of the Hematology and Oncology Services at the Boston City Hospital in 1982 and practiced clinical medicine until 2003. At Boston University, he actively directed a research laboratory focused on the biochemistry of the acute inflammatory response, with studies ranging from free radical chemistry to activation mechanisms of immune cells. He continues collaborative research on complex systems at Tel Aviv University.
Beginning in the late 1980s, Prof. Tauber began a systematic study of the theoretical development of immunology, which evolved into broader studies of contemporary life sciences, bioethics, and general epistemology. In 1993, he assumed a dual appointment as Professor of Philosophy at the College of Arts and Sciences, where he was tenured in 1998. As a Visiting Professor, Dr. Tauber continues to teach graduate students at The Cohn Institute of Tel Aviv University and publish actively in philosophy of science and intellectual history.
Aside from over 125 research publications in immunology, Dr. Tauber has published extensively on 19th and 20th century biomedicine, contemporary science studies, and ethics. He is the author of Requiem for the Ego: Freud and the Origins of Postmodernism (Stanford 2013), Freud, the Reluctant Philosopher (Princeton 2010), Science and the Quest for Meaning (Baylor 2009), Patient Autonomy and the Ethics of Responsibility (MIT 2005), Henry David Thoreau and the Moral Agency of Knowing (California 2001), Confessions of a Medicine Man, (MIT 1999), and The Immune Self, Theory or Metaphor? (Cambridge, 1994). In addition, he has co-authored Metchnikoff and the Origins of Immunology (Oxford, 1991) and The Generation of Diversity, Clonal Selection Theory and the Rise of Molecular Immunology (Harvard, 1997). He has also edited several volumes including The Elusive Synthesis: Science and Aesthetics (Kluwer, 1996), Science and the Quest for Reality (New York University, 1997), and a collaborative translation project, The Evolutionary Biology Papers of Elie Metchnikoff (Kluwer, 2000). In 2008, he was the recipient of the Science Medal awarded by the University of Bologna and in 2010 a PhD honoris causa from the University of Haifa.
With his sister, Ingrid Tauber, Prof. Tauber directs the Tauber Family Foundation, which funds diverse programs in Israel and the United States for the care and rehabilitation of the mentally ill. The Israeli Health Ministry has recognized and co-sponsored active partnerships with the Tauber Foundation in educational and research programs at the University of Haifa. In addition Prof. Tauber established the Tauber Bioinformatics Center at the University for the development of new methods in genomics and proteomics.
Prof. Tauber and his wife, the historian Paula Fredriksen, made aliyah in 2011. They equally divide the year between Jerusalem and their farm in central New Hampshire, where they grow hay, apples, blueberries and promote classical music by sponsoring young professional chamber musicians at The Avaloch Farm Music Institute. Of their blended family of seven children, three live in Israel, three in the United States, and one in Uruguay.

I remember Hills! We had quite a few of them in WNY.
I also remember Ames, Gold Circle, and Childworld.
I fondly look back at the days of Hills, too! I have many memories of standing in front of the Masters of the Universe display in our neighborhood Hills.
I don't have to watch the videos to remember their slogan! "Hills is where the toys are" I used to love going to Hills stores when I was younger and have fond memories of them being loaded with Star Wars, GI Joe and Transformers to name a few. We had a Hills less than 30 mins. from us growing up and made that a stop every time we went that way.
I've posted before about my love for Hills – in fact, it's pretty common for most people in Pittsburgh to miss Hills, even if they don't care about toys. When they closed, it was a dark day for me…my mother used to make friends with the teenage girls working in the toy department, and they'd call her when they received new shipments of Ninja Turtles, putting aside the figures that I wanted.
Those were the days!
North Jersey must not have had any Hills 'cause I most definitely would've remembered those commercials! Wow. Nice job getting the USS Flagg into that first one.
