Pretty much everyone here had read The Hunger Games before there was talk of a movie, and we are pretty smug about it. Books are the one thing that I am actually kind of "trendy" with, so when I get something right I need people to hear about it. When these sequels or movies come out everybody is going to be talking about these books, so why not get a head start? That way when everyone else is behind the times, reading furiously to catch up, you will be the one sitting pretty with all the information, dangling spoilers like carrots, dropping hints, and withholding important information for sexual favors.
A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
Does this sound familiar? A woman falls in love with a moody, chiseled vampire with a great wardrobe and a quick temper. Of course it does, and comparisons between Twilight and Deborah Harkness' extraordinarily fun debut (the first in a planned trilogy) are unavoidable. But A Discovery of Witches, a thoroughly grown-up novel packed with gorgeous historical detail, has a gutsy, brainy heroine to match: Diana Bishop, a renowned scholar of 17th century chemistry and a descendant of accomplished witches. Diana has spent most of her life resisting the magic within her. The power she's long denied swirls to the forefront, however, when she opens a bewitched manuscript in Oxford's famous Bodleian Library. Suddenly every vampire, witch, and daemon (yes, they walk among us; we humans are just oblivious to their presence) is up in her grill, hungry for the secrets she's unknowingly unlocked. It's 1,500-year-old vampire Matthew who makes the biggest impression. Diana falls madly for him, breaking every rule about inter-species dating. They're a formidable team, which is lucky because Diana's roiling power has unleashed all kinds of crazy.
The sequel, Shadow of Night, is coming out July 10th, with a third and final book on the horizon.
The Passage by Justin Cronin
Every so often a novel-reader's novel comes along: an enthralling, entertaining story wedded to simple, supple prose, both informed by tremendous imagination. Summer is the perfect time for such books, and this year readers can enjoy the gift of Justin Cronin's The Passage. Read fifteen pages and you will find yourself captivated; read thirty and you will find yourself taken prisoner and reading late into the night. It has the vividness that only epic works of fantasy and imagination can achieve. What else can I say? This: read this book and the ordinary world disappears.
-Stephen King
The second book in the trilogy, The Twelve, is due to be released on October 16th.
The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
Peace-loving Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit (or halfling) is living in the country of the shire in Middle Earth (more on that later). He meets a strange wandering wizard talking of adventures; Bilbo invites him to afternoon tea and thinks nothing more of it. But instead of just one wizard arriving at Bilbo's house, 13 dwarves arrive as well. So begins an adventure beyond Bilbo's wildest imaginings. An adventure that takes him to the Grand House of Elrond, through the dangerous orc-infested Misty Mountains, past the mazes of Mirkwood and to many other places as well.
The Hobbit is a great adventure story and is a classic as well as a must-read. I have read it 15 times. You heard me, 15 times! I don't often read a book more than once. It submerges you into another world and it captures your imagination – taking you to another realm. It paints a perfect picture in your head and it has a really good story line. And when you get that combination in a book, you can read it over and over.
The Hobbit was so successful when it was published that Tolkien was encouraged to write a sequel, which became his masterpiece: The Lord of the Rings. I love Lord of the Rings, but I haven't read it 15 times. I think it is because there is a charm in The Hobbit that is not matched in the sequel. So if you haven't read Lord of the Rings yet, read The Hobbit first. And if you have, read The Hobbit anyway. -Luke (Grade 5)
Peter Jackson's movie is due out in December.
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
In 1922, F. Scott Fitzgerald announced his decision to write "something new--something extraordinary and beautiful and simple + intricately patterned." That extraordinary, beautiful, intricately patterned, and above all, simple novel became The Great Gatsby, arguably Fitzgerald's finest work and certainly the book for which he is best known. A portrait of the Jazz Age in all of its decadence and excess, Gatsby captured the spirit of the author's generation and earned itself a permanent place in American mythology. Self-made, self-invented millionaire Jay Gatsby embodies some of Fitzgerald's--and his country's--most abiding obsessions: money, ambition, greed, and the promise of new beginnings. "Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning--" Gatsby's rise to glory and eventual fall from grace becomes a kind of cautionary tale about the American Dream.
Bonus Fun Fact: Hunter S. Thompson typed out The Great Gatsby in its entirety, just to get a sense of what it would be like to type out a great novel.
Baz Luhrman's movie is due out in December.
World War Z by Max Brooks
"The Crisis" nearly wiped out humanity. Brooks (son of Mel Brooks and author of The Zombie Survival Guide) has taken it upon himself to document the "first hand" experiences and testimonies of those lucky to survive 10 years after the fictitious zombie war. Like a horror fan's version of Studs Terkel's The Good War, the "historical account" format gives Brooks room to explore the zombie plague from numerous different views and characters. In a deadpan voice, Brooks exhaustively details zombie incidents from isolated attacks to full-scale military combat: "what if the enemy can't be shocked and awed? Not just won't, but biologically can't!" The "interviews" and personal accounts capture the universal fear of the collapse of society--a living nightmare in which anyone can become a mindless, insatiable predator at a moment's notice. Horror fans won't be disappointed: like George Romero's Dead trilogy, World War Z is another milestone in the zombie mythos.
The movie, starring ♥Brad Pitt♥, is coming out next year.
The Host by Stephenie Meyer
Stephenie Meyer, creator of the phenomenal teen-vamp Twilight series, takes paranormal romance into alien territory in her first adult novel. Those wary of sci-fi or teen angst will be pleasantly surprised by this mature and imaginative thriller, propelled by equal parts action and emotion. A species of altruistic parasites has peacefully assumed control of the minds and bodies of most humans, but feisty Melanie Stryder won't surrender her mind to the alien soul called Wanderer. Overwhelmed by Melanie's memories of fellow resistor Jared, Wanderer yields to her body's longing and sets off into the desert to find him. Likely the first love triangle involving just two bodies, it's unabashedly romantic, and the characters (human and alien) genuinely endearing. Readers intrigued by this familiar-yet-alien world will gleefully note that the story's end leaves the door open for a sequel--or another series.
The movie is coming out next year.
American Gods by Neil Gaiman
The gods of European yore, who came to North America with their immigrant believers, are squaring off for a rumble with new indigenous deities: "gods of credit card and freeway, of Internet and telephone." They all walk around disguised as ordinary people, which causes no end of trouble for protagonist Shadow Moon, who can't turn around without bumping into a minor divinity. Released from prison the day after his wife dies in a car accident, Shadow takes a job as emissary for Mr. Wednesday, avatar of the Norse god Grimnir, unaware that his boss's recruiting trip across the American heartland will subject him to repeat visits from the reanimated corpse of his dead wife and brutal roughing up by the goons of Wednesday's adversary, Mr. World. At last Shadow must reevaluate his own deeply held beliefs in order to determine his crucial role in the final showdown.
HBO is planning a 6 season mini-series.
The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson
Author Erik Larson imbues the incredible events surrounding the 1893 Chicago World's Fair with such drama that readers may find themselves checking the book's categorization to be sure that The Devil in the White City is not, in fact, a highly imaginative novel. Larson tells the stories of two men: Daniel H. Burnham, the architect responsible for the fair's construction, and H.H. Holmes, a serial killer masquerading as a charming doctor. Burnham's challenge was immense: To construct the famous "White City" around which the fair was built. His efforts to complete the project, and the fair's incredible success, are skillfully related along with entertaining appearances by such notables as Buffalo Bill Cody, Susan B. Anthony, and Thomas Edison. The activities of the sinister Dr. Holmes, who is believed to be responsible for 20-200 murders around the time of the fair, are equally remarkable. He devised and erected the World's Fair Hotel, complete with crematorium and gas chamber, near the fairgrounds and used the event as well as his own charismatic personality to lure victims. Combining the stories of an architect and a killer in one book, mostly in alternating chapters, seems like an odd choice but it works. The magical appeal and horrifying dark side of 19th-century Chicago are both revealed through Larson's skillful writing.
The movie, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, is in pre-production.
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card
This book is my favorite book of all time. This was THE book that introduced me to sci-fi. It had alot to do with shaping the person that I am today. Ender's Game deals with a our future Earth. Aliens had attacked many years ago and almost destroyed Earth. Luckily, they were defeated and Earth thrived. Today, the Earth sends the best and brightest of its children into outer space to Battle School, in order to become military commanders for the alien invasion that everyone fears will one day come. And I'm talking children children, like 5 to 8 years old. The book centers around one such child, Andrew Wiggin, known by his family as Ender. He's the youngest to ever be recruited and the book focuses on his trials and tribulations.
In my humble opinion, this is the best science fiction book ever. I guarantee that fans of The Hunger Games will enjoy this book. Ender's Game is similar to The Hunger Games (a future Earth, young kids doing things that even adults would shudder at, adults masterminding the whole thing, etc.) only it takes place in outer space.
The movie is coming out next year.
Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
Mitchell's virtuosic novel presents six narratives that evoke an array of genres, from Melvillean high-seas drama to California noir and dystopian fantasy. There is a naïve clerk on a nineteenth-century Polynesian voyage; an aspiring composer who insinuates himself into the home of a syphilitic genius; a journalist investigating a nuclear plant; a publisher with a dangerous best-seller on his hands; and a cloned human being created for slave labor. These five stories are bisected and arranged around a sixth, the history of a post-apocalyptic island, which forms the heart of the novel. Only after this do the second halves of the stories fall into place, pulling the novel's themes into focus: the ease with which one group enslaves another, and the rewriting of the past by those who control the present. Against such forces, Mitchell's characters reveal a quiet tenacity. When the clerk is told that his life amounts to "no more than one drop in a limitless ocean," he asks, "Yet what is any ocean but a multitude of drops?"
The movie is coming out in October.

As the Freshers' dust settles and Oxford edges its way into Third Week, it is an apt time to cast our eye to the University Hockey Club and their exploits so far this term. Sadly, there is as yet little positivity to report.
For the Women's Blues, promoted into the Saturday South Premiership last season, club President Siobhan Stewart harbours ambitions to make the top three in BUCS and the South League. However, despite a 1-0 home victory over Woking Ladies', this pre-season excitement has been checked somewhat by 2-0 defeats at the hands of Barnes and Tulse Hill; the former coming in the all-important season opener on the Blues' home turf at Iffley.
The women have, however, fared better than their male counterparts. The Men's Blues first and only point came in a lacklustre 2-2 stalemate against an experienced London Wayfarers side.
The 4-3 defeat that followed, this time away at Old Cranleighans, meant that early October became a period to forget for the University's premier hockey teams; the Men's Blues sit at the bottom of their BUCS division. Of course the transitional nature of the side, with only five remaining members of last year's Varsity squad, means consolidation would be considered a job well done.
That is not to say there has been no early season success on the Dark Blue hockey fields; squads lower down the club have shown signs to justify the early season optimism, with the Women's Mavericks out-performing Reading Ladies' Thirds, and the Men's Occasionals emphatically overcoming the newly-promoted University of East Anglia 6-1, racking up their first Division Two points in the process.
Going forward, the promotion ambitions of the Women's Second and Third XI squads are matched by the equally lofty aspirations of the Men's Third XI, whilst the newly promoted Men's Seconds have realistic hopes of reinforcing their Saturday league position and securing BUCS success.
Of course, as is the case with Blues sport across the University, one eye will be kept firmly on Varsity by both the Men and Women's top squads, especially after both sides fell short last time round.
The game will be of particular importance for Joe Foster, this year's newly-appointed Men's Blues captain, having experienced penalty flicks heartbreak first-hand in last year's nail-biting encounter against the Light Blues. Speaking to Cherwell about his hopes, Foster talked of his excitement for the "intriguing match up" against the equally transitional Cambridge side, whilst he also emphasised his hopes for the "very talented" crop of players that will be aiming to drive the hockey club up through the ranks to a season of success over the coming year.
It would be fair to say, though, that if the OUHC are to better last year's 3rd
place Pitchero ranking, wins will be required, soon.

What role can data play in making our public spaces more inviting and functional?
We Count! Public Life Data Sprint is an event series organized by Gehl Institute, with support from Samsung NEXT and Stae.
Over three days, we'll conduct on-site research, engage in critical discussions about the uses and ethics of public life data, and hold a full-day design competition, in which participants can dive deeper into the Public Life Data Protocol and design products and tools based on the specification.
The series is open to urbanists, coders, designers, civic technologists, city planners, and anyone who cares about people and public spaces. To learn more, visit the event website.
Join us as we make data about people and the spaces we care about more open, usable, and shareable.
- Workshop, May 9, 6:00 – 8:30pm
- Opening Party, May 11, 6:00 – 9:00pm
- Design Sprint, May 12, 8:00am – 8:30pm
Reserve your ticket for all events or each one separately.
WORKSHOP: Wednesday, May 9, 6:00 – 8:30pm
At our first event, we'll offer an introduction to the Public Life Data Protocol. Participants will learn about the data sets and then engage in a hands-on workshop testing out the public life tools by measuring the social activity of a nearby public space.
OPENING PARTY: Friday, May 11, 6:00 – 9:00pm
On Friday evening, meet fellow urbanists, technologists, and civic leaders during an evening of public life data talk and mingling. Celebrate the kickoff and form teams.
DESIGN SPRINT: Saturday, May 12, 8:00am – 8:30pm
On Saturday, work in teams to tackle essential problems of how technology, and specifically public life data, can improve our knowledge and design of public spaces. Pitch your ideas to our jury of experts. After the event, we'll feature your proposals on our website.
Why public life data?
City governments, public agencies and officials, and the private companies that support them collect large amounts of data on things like traffic flows, property values, crime statistics, and more. These measurements shape analysis and decisions about policy and design. But the ways that people use or move through public space generally gets left out of this process. And when information about people's activities in the public realm is collected, it's often without public engagement or significant open collaboration. Much of this data is inaccessible except to those who pay.
There is tremendous need and opportunity to make public life data—data about people moving and using public spaces—more accessible, scalable, and comparable within cities, across cities and regions, between agencies, and at different scales. The use of open data standards enables a range of users to collectively make public information more useful, accessible, and democratic. The ability to share research and compare outcomes is essential to making good planning and policy decisions affecting the places and spaces where city residents live their daily lives.

Alright, so we all knew Vancouver was expensive and has killer properties, but every now and then news of one knocks our socks off.
That's exactly what happened when we stumbled upon this $28.8 million penthouse, located at the luxurious Fairmont Estates Pacific Rim in downtown Vancouver. In a prime spot in Coal Harbour, the penthouse is 6,434 sq ft over two levels, complete with a private roof-top patio and gardens to enjoy views of Stanley Park, the harbour, and the North Shore mountains.
What do you think? Is it worth the mega price tag?

Greetings and Salutations Internet Wanderer!
Welcome to my corner of the vast pixelated Universe that is The Internet™ !
You get a few warnings about me, my style, and what I'm doing, then we'll dive into some more specific-to-this-blog details ^_^
- My humor is punny, geeky, and techno-sparkly. I sprinkle it just about everywhere and it is by no means meant to diminish or disrespect anything contained within (or outside of) this blog.
- Call me a snowflake if you want, but this is a safe internet area. Racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, etc. Will Not Be Tolerated. I'm not expecting to have any kind of massive following, but I'm making the rules clear regardless.
- I practice ADF Druidry Paganism. Check out ADF.org for details on this particular brand of Indo-European Paganism, and feel free to poke me with questions ^_^
- This blog is NOT about ADF Druidry specifically, it's about different forms of Divination, and Trance work. Regardless of your religion (Pagan, Christian, or otherwise) I hope you're able to find things here that will help you.
I should probably have put this at the start, but if you don't believe in Divination, if you believe your religion speaks against it, or if you think I'm some Lays with Demons Hell-Witch, well you took a wrong turn at Albequerque darlin', this is not the Internet Space you're looking for.
Now's not a bad time to go Meet the Tools I'll be using in my posts.

Pink screen after Xenith Firmware 1.7 upgrade
After upgrading firmware from 1.6 to 1.7, the secondary screen is pink (see attached picture). The Xenith is setup with a split with a DVI cable to primary monitor and VGA to secondary monitor. It strangley doesn occur after the first reboot but after the second.
I've stripped out the xen.ini to almost nothing and seen it occur on 10+ devices so it appears to be firmware related but maybe an ini setting will resolve it. I've played with the refresh rates and resolutions as well.
Any ideas?
For those, that may run into this screen corruption issue. Just add this to your ini prior to updating the firmware.
AutoSignoff=yes Shutdown=yes
It appears to prevent the video driver from getting corrupt on shutdown.
Hello yetimax,
i had the same problem with Version 1.7 an build 33 or 34.
Now we use Version 1.7 with build 37 and it works fine.

回答"Upgrade SSD 64GB to 128GB"Yes and no. eMMC is soldered down and is a BPGA IC, solder pads not visible under the IC. They're easy to remove if you've done it before AND you don't care to possibly knock other parts off the board....AND the board in the tablet is coated, meaning if you heat the entire board to resolder/reflow or remove an IC, it will SMOKE LIKE ITS ON FIRE. Not only the BPGA issue exists but the UEFI issue exists where if you remove the 1 or 2 32 GB eMMC's on the board, you lose your Windows key because it is stored on it. Is it worth it? I've been looking at the board and trying to find an open place to hack in a USB drive under the case to use as storage, perhaps a 128 or 256GB drive D...
Samsung Galaxy S5 Teardown
Use a credit card to disconnect the screen from the tape strips in the center of the screen. The L-shaped and the "i" shaped copper strips on the frame of the phone in picture 3 is the tape you will need to disengage to pull the screen off

Pry off the little cover under the battery cover and disengage the tiny connector, that is the fingerprint sensor / home button connector, disengage it so you do not have to scrape off the home button unnecessarily from your screen and later steps.
Samsung Galaxy S5 Teardown
Don't remove the button. That's dumb unless you're replacing it. One of the pictures in Step 6 you see that little door that you pry off, it has a small connector under it, disengage that connector, that is the fingerprint sensor so you don't have to ruin the glue around the button.

Blogging the process
Paul Ingraham • ARCHIVEDMicroblog posts are archived and rarely updated. In contrast, most long-form articles on PainScience.com are updated regularly over the years (see updates page).
I've written 424 blog posts (roughly 175,000 words) since I started "blogging the process" about two years ago — that is, as I go through the process of creating very detailed articles and tutorials, I share bits and pieces of what I'm working on as I go, using a blog format. So my blog posts are all in some sense excerpts or rough drafts of larger projects. I estimate that I actually wrote more than double that much, but only blogged about 175,000 words.

Get the Most of Your Summer in Lake Travis
Summer is here and there's no better way to enjoy the warm weather than in Lake Travis! There's no end of fun to be had in Lake Travis.
Whether you want to have a sunset dinner, cruise around on the lake, get pampered at a spa, or zip through the trees, there's something for everyone to get eh most out of summer.
Take a look at the top 4 things to do in Lake Travis:
Zip Through the Trees
There's no bigger thrill than zipping along over 2800 feet of scenic beauty. Lake Travis Zipline Adventures will thrill you and your family with he longest zipline in Texas. As you hike up to your zipline launching point, your professional tour guide will offer an educational and fun experience. Then you launch off a cliff and soar for over 2800 ft. There are shorter zip lines as well for the more faint of heart.
Watch the Sunset
Spectacular sunsets define Lake Travis. You can watch the spectacular sunsets from a variety of vantage points, on water or lakeside. How about a romantic dinner as you take in the sunset at Beau Theriot's "Sunset Capital of Texas"? The views from it's terraces perched 450 feet over the lake will leave you breathless. And so will the food. The Oasis, as it's known, is home to some of the best live music anywhere on the lake.

This season I plan to participate in some agritoursim by going to a U-Pick farm to pick my own apples, pears, pumpkins, and squash! You can't get produce any fresher than picking it straight from the source yourself!
Most U-Pick farms are only open for you to pick produce until the end of October and they typically charge you by the pound for whatever you pick. You can even bring your kids along to teach them where fruits and vegetables come from and how they grow! Check out Illinois AG Fun for Illinois locations or find a U-Farm near you. Enjoy this season's fresh produce! Happy picking!

Im here! I had a wonderful trip via the train system in both Spain and France. I had a long stop in Bayonne so I had breakfast there enjoying an expresso and a croissant with a glass of orange juice.
On the train to St. Jean I met two women from Quebec City who will walk to the Refuge Orisson today. Thats where Im going tomorrow. Its only 8 km and since the way is steep, it will be slow going. 19 km the next day to Roncesvalles
This is a very strange keyboard – its an azerty keyboard with letters in strange places; well only the a, z; w; and m, but I seem to use those letters a lot:
I wanted to explain the word Ultreia. It is a Galician word meaning Onward! which pilgrims use to encourage each other:
I saw sheep today, and I knit in the Bayonne train station. I have begun to knit the camino.

Did anyone receive a message recently that contained a video of me watching porn? 😆
Because apparently I was being blackmailed that all my contacts would receive it, if I don't pay 202€ in BTC. Alas, I didn't check the spam folder, so I'd missed the deadline a week ago 🤷♂
This is a conference report for my company:
Hi all,
I visited Unit Festival last Saturday and those are my notes:

Dawn on Day 5 found the saps starting to climb the glacis but behind the covered way, the Germans and Picard's company were massed with fixed bayonets.
With a roar the Queen's men leapt out of the covered way and stormed the heads of the saps. The besieging artillery unleashed a hurried blast of grape while the sappers grabbed their muskets.
A short but sharp melee ensued. When the dust settled, the bodies of the attackers littered the covered way but both engineers had been cut down and the sapping parties driven back in disorder and the new section of saps destroyed. While the melee was in progress the besieging guns turned their attentions to the walls again and dismounted 2 more defending guns! With their final shots, the defenders managed to inflict 3/4 of a casualty! sighhhhh.
This was a trying turn, the rules are frustratingly vague about exactly how sorties are conducted, points such as whether or not the siege batteries get to fire at the walls each tactical turn or not aren't addressed and while the rules are very similar to Charge!, the sketchy rules don't match precisely. For example, in Charge!, leaving the covered way would be an obstructed or 1/2 move but there is no mention of such things by Duffy, nor is there any indication of how a melee lasts or how it is decided. Not big issues if running a game as GM and making off the cuff rulings, but with a group of us running the games and with both players and GM's being used to using Charge! it made sense to me to stay consistent. I reset the sortie and played it again as straight Charge!.
So now we have a garrison with almost no guns facing besiegers with almost no engineers. Hmm.
You may also notice that the old saps have been torn up to provide new ones. I'm going to have to make more!
On to Day 6!

His greed leads him to a series of unfortunate events which snowball beyond his control putting his and his wife Divya (Neha Dhupia)'s life in jeopardy.
