Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA, USA.
The MIT GE-645 was installed in the 9th floor machine room of Project MAC, at 545 Technology Square.
In 1972, a Honeywell 6180 was installed in MIT's building 39, at the Information Processing Services Center. There are publicity pictures of the new machine.
The MIT system was upgraded several times and finished as a dual DPS8/70M.
The machine was moved to building W91, 565 Memorial Drive, the old wind tunnel building, in the summer of 1983, and Building 39 became the Microcircuits production building. The third floor still has the original raised floor.
First Installed
GE-645: January, 1967
H-6180: November, 1972
GE-645: (in 1967)
2C PUs (435 KIPS),
2 GIOCs, 512K words core memory,
4 MW firehose drum,
2 DSU-204 disks,
RACE magnetic strip memory (never used).
ARPANet connection (GIMPSPIF) [host 6] (added in 1970).
A detailed configuration memo from
the Multics Planning Notebook is available.
H-6180: (in 1973)
2 CPUs (1 MIPS),
2 IOMs,
2 DN355 front-end processors,
384K 36-bit words MOS memory,
1 MW paging device (bulk store),
15 MSU451 disks (150 MB each).
8 tape drives,
card reader & punch,
ARPANet connection (ABSI) [host 44].
(List price of such a system was about $7 million.)
Some additional equipment owned by Honeywell (an IOM, an DN355, and an extra printer) was used at the MIT site until CISL set up its own development machine in 1974.
A third CPU was made available by Honeywell in early 1975 so that the MIT Multics system could run two CPUs while the processors were converted to add cache memory.
256K of memory was added in March, 1978.
In mid 1980, the configuration was updated to:
2 L68/DPS processors
2.5 MW of memory
replacing the 512K of core memory and 2 MW bulk store.
There were also 2 dual channel disk controllers, and 2 6678 FNPs,
indicating that we could create two systems from them.
Thus assuming, although not specified, 2 IOMs.
In 1982, the machine was upgraded from 2 DPS/68 processors with 3,072K (words) of memory to 2 DPS 8/70M processors with 2 MB of memory and an additional 14 MB of memory.
When MIT sold its Multics hardware back to Honeywell in 1987, the system had a total of 24 MB of memory.
Application areas
MIT's machine provided general time-sharing services for education and research to the MIT community, and also supported a cooperative project with GE (later Honeywell) Cambridge Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) to develop the Multics operating system. This second activity meant that the MIT machine was the primary development and exposure site for the Multics design team: system programmers edited and compiled their files on the MIT machine, the master source archive for the system was stored at MIT, and new system versions were first used in production at MIT.
The first salesman for GE was Weston J. Burner. He went on to work at MIT, as Director of the Information Processing Center. Other marketing folks involved with the MIT site over the years included Bob Chevalier and Bob Hoffman.
Some photographs from a 1980s contract signing event in MIT President Paul Gray's office have been provided by Bob Chevalier.
Site Analysts
In a sense, the whole MIT/CISL team were the site analysts. But there was a special team devoted to making and keeping the system stable, during several periods of the system's development. Dave Vinograd led the "System Stabilization Group" during the period when developers were first trying to use the system to support itself. Later, Jerry Grochow led a team at MIT that concentrated on providing a stable initial Multics service. Tom Van Vleck, Dave Jordan, and Roger Roach later performed the same function.
System Administrators
System administration was also different at MIT from most sites, because of the development nature of the site. Much of the system administration code was invented at MIT and shows attention to MIT's concerns. For example, the customer billing subsystem written by Tom Van Vleck is directly responsive to needs of the MIT IPC.
Bob Hart and Bobby Burke were the MIT User Services people who registered users and did the daily system administration.
The people who ran the MIT 645 and 6180 included Michael V. Solomita, Bob Degan, Dick Cerrato, Leo Ryan, Gerald Andrews, Joe McGillivray, Dick McNamara, Peter Monaco, Dick Moore, Gordy Noseworthy, Eddie Reardon, and John Waclawski.
Notable developments
The MIT Student Information Processing Board (SIPB) was an organization dedicated to providing computer access to undergraduates. This group produced software that used the Multics Limited Service System facilities to give low-cost computing to many students. SIPB_Admin.SIPBADMIN was the first paying user logged in to the MIT 6180 Multics when the machine first came up at MIT in July 1973, and the last paying user logged in when the system shut down in January 1988.
Project MAC users Al Strnad and L. Alan Kraning pioneered the implementation of relational data bases in the late 60s, and a prototype relational database system, Admins, was constructed by Jay Goldman and Prof. James D. Bruce and used to manage the MIT Electrical Engineering Department in the early 70s.
Final Shutdown
January 2, 1988
CPUs sent to McDonnell Douglas Aviation site.
2MB of memory was sold to Puerto Rico Highway Authority.
Installing the Drum
When MIT was ready to install the 645 on the ninth floor of Tech Square, it was discovered that the firehose drum was too heavy for the floor. A huge girder had to be brought in by crane to distribute the weight.
Campus Unrest
In the late 60s, campus opposition to the Vietnam War was accompanied by criticism of the ARPA funding for Project MAC and the Cambridge Project. Various demonstrations and sit-ins occurred. The elevators in Tech Square and building 39 were changed to require a key to get to the machine room floor, but no demonstrators ever attacked the computers. In 1971, Honeywell CISL was invaded by a small group of protesters opposed to the manufacture of antipersonnel weapons by another division of the company; they threw flour around the offices.
The big snow of 1978
A blizzard the first week of February 1978 paralyzed Boston for a week. Driving was forbidden; roads were blocked with abandoned cars anyway. The MIT machine stayed up during this time, because it had been set up on "unattended operation," with a BOS script that would reboot the system if it crashed, automatically performing recovery operations if necessary.
The third CPU
[Jeff Schiller] I do believe the third [6180] processor was a freebie. I don't remember why. But I do remember finding bugs that could not be found at CISL because they required 3 CPUs. And then there was the problem in locking that could only show up if you had a CPU 'A' (because 'A' == 0 and the new locking code assumed 0 == free!).

Sacramento State's Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology is marking its 55th year at the University with a little help from its faculty, staff, alumni and area businesses. The Department will celebrate the milestone 6-9 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 6 at the Sacramento State Alumni Center. The event, which is expected to draw around 300 participants including alumni, graduate students, faculty, staff and administrators, will feature recollections of past accomplishments and declarations of things to come, says speech Pathology and Audiology chair Laureen O'Hanlon. More than 40 area businesses have donated items, which will, in part, sponsor client scholarships for the Maryjane Rees Language, Speech and Hearing Center. "The first courses in Speech Pathology and Audiology were offered in 1952 and the first clients were seen in 1954," says O'Hanlon, "and we are the longest-running community service provider on campus." Over the years, the center has evaluated and treated more than 10,000 individuals for speech, language and hearing concerns. The Maryjane Rees Language, Speech and Hearing Center—named for Sacramento State professor emeritus and program pioneer Maryjane Rees—has provided services to the public for a wide variety of conditions. "The center has more variety of condition treatments than any other clinic in the state," says O'Hanlon, and adds that they work with children and adults in need of speech therapy, autism, stuttering, accent modification and augmentative/alternative communication. Graduate students, working under close supervision of Speech Pathology and Audiology faculty, evaluate and treat speech and language problems. And while the 55th anniversary event will focus on the accomplishments of the department and the center over the years, future goals will be heralded as well. "We'll be announcing a new alumni chapter for the Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology," says O'Hanlon. "We're very excited to establish this chapter, which will strengthen our connection to our graduates." O'Hanlon also hopes to build the program in response to a national shortage of speech-language pathologists. "There are some challenges, but we'd like to grow our program to meet those needs," she says.

Aye, it's important to have such an article of clothing. Any ideas? I wouldn't want anything that doesn't match my boots.
Usually dress hunting turns into a hair pulling experience, hopefully not this year.. Tho being pressed for time won't make it any easier. What kind of boots specifically?
Combat boots, of course. I need to buy new gear now that I can afford it. I would stab a unicorn for hoof-boots though: I've always dreamed of having thigh high boots for some reason. I find them a symbol of power and control... even though they also look prostitute level trashy. And... I'm sorry. I'm obsessed with boots. I'm going to take some private time with myself as I stare at all this leather. I'll get back to dresses later.
It's simple with classic lines - was looking for something similar around these parts to no avail tho.. Also - hunting down this type of dress..
Spent a few hours shopping for a dress today. Tried on sooo many, and had trouble deciding. I don't remember the last time I was able to try anything I wanted on Ended up not purchasing. I have a favorite, but wasn't happy with the high neckline. Will try again next weekend. Le Château: Dress Shop 1159 Tried about a dozen on in this store.
The problem with the dress site is that it didn't have a part where I could take the dress off the girl. You know, to further examine the dress....

© 2013, Guitarz - The Original Guitar Blog - the blog that goes all the way to 11!
Reminds me of a Yamaha SG1000 except for those chunky pickups. Ithink the pickups are the best feature after the body shape
ReplyDeleteThe pickups, bridge, and the layout of the controls remind me of a Peavey T-60. I wonder if the pickups have the same tone control/coil tap feature.
ReplyDeleteThe pickups are standard Jolana fare and appeared on their guitars and basses. My own Jolana Disco has one of these pickups centre-mounted, see http://guitarz.blogspot.com/2011/11/1980s-soviet-era-czechoslovakian-made.html (may need to copy & paste that URL or just type "Jolana Disco" into the search box at the top of the page).
DeleteHi, Just enquiring, whether the size of the frets need be standard. I am kinda bored with the fret size. I had a different thing in mind, more of lesser sized frets and in tandem with the music. I understand I might achieve an octave styled neck. Also, the neck maybe shorter in size and varied from standards. Any idea if u or companies or is it patented to have custom-made guitars?

Hillwood: Living Artfully
The exhibit is actually more of an event as parts are to be found throughout the estate focusing on Marjorie's role as hostess at her 4 main estates: Hillwood, Mar-A-Lago, TopRidge, and her yacht, the Sea Cloud.
I'm most excited about this exhibit because this is what I find so fascinating about house museums: I want to know how people actually LIVED. The image above show the dining room with its Mar-A-Lago dining table shown uncovered for a change and set as for a dinner at her Palm Beach estate. Information, photographs, and videos make you feel as though you yourself were a guest!
However the most exciting thing to come out of this exhibit are areas previously unseen in the mansion have been refurbished so they can be opened to the public. Above you see the very utilitarian 50's wetbar located just outside of the Pavilion where Marjorie hosted square dancing as well as first-run movies.
Interesting tidbit; Marjorie's staff were all welcome to watch the movies along with her guests and in the prime spot no less. Staff watched the movie from the balcony while guests sat below in Jansen styled sofas.
Located just off the main entry hall, the ladies powder room has also been opened to the public for the first time (seen above). Family wedding photos are displayed here gallery style on silk bedecked walls.
Check out the period fixtures including pink toilet paper! Interestingly enough, Marjorie purchased home fragrances in such bulk that the museum still has a quantity and uses it to this day in specific areas of the house (smells rather like face powder).
Located just off Marjorie's bedroom suite, her personal beauty parlor is also now open to the public. More photographs of family and friends are adjacent to the latest technology in haircare of the day.
As part of the exhibit the closets are fully stocked as when Marjorie is in residence. At the time her personal maid, Eva Zackrisson, would bring a week's worth at a time down from the main closet in the attic. Also shown are adorable hooked bathmats used at her numerous houses. As you can see Marjorie loved pink!
Above you see a collection of her day-wear along with coordinating hats.
Beneath some of her jewelry a small collection of her Bob Inc shoes are shown in different shades to match her numerous ensembles; for both day and evening.
Yet another closet in the dressing area houses some of her evening gowns from 1958-1964 on custom crocheted hangers. Who doesn't want to see this stuff!?
One more space open to the public is a basement bomb shelter (one of 4 on the estate). Notice the pink? Marjorie provided enough space in the shelters for all of her staff: a gracious hostess as well as a gracious employer.
Items from her yacht, Sea Cloud, are exhibited in the library.
Including her custom embroidered shoes which she would occasionally wear on board.
The Snooze Room lies at the top of the main staircase and was where a guest could rest while visiting for the day. It also provided a small separate bedroom for children to the adjacent guest suite.
Out in the Adirondack Pavilion collections from Marjorie's summer house in the mountains, Top Ridge, are displayed.
I loved this canoe!
Marjorie even had luggage specifically for each location -notice the tag on the case above?
And what is a society hostess without her napkins embroidered in her monogram. I'll leave you with the adorable little dog annunciation device Marjorie used at Top Ridge.
Everyone must go to Hillwood to see this wonderful exhibit and remember, the collections are updated constantly with always something new to see! The exhibit will run from June 8, 2013 until January 12, 2014.

I was just having a mini conversation about this with Emile at the NT site. I LOVE seeing all the details. It makes everything so much richer and deeper. I mean, don't you hate 'decorated' places that are cold and impersonal? They look like something out of the Twilight Zone... who lives there???
I'm with Windlost, LOVE the shoes but also love following your eyes around the place... an education in itself. What we notice says a lot about us, doesn't it?
Great post. - June 8, 2013 at 7:08 AM

I agree that Hillwood is a great visit for anyone visiting Washington, D. C. As I recall, reservations might be required. Few people were as detail-oriented as Marjorie Merriweather Post!

- The Devoted Classicist said...
Hillwood is probably the only D.D. museum on my list that I have never visited. And I love behind-the-rope areas that are not usually seen in house museums; they really add to the experience and help show how the house was used. I have seen photos of striped aluminum umbrellas over tables in the garden; are they still there?

Comedian Aziz Ansari is the mastermind behind the parody Twitter account @SergeantBrody that riffs on the lead character from the Emmy-winning Showtime hit "Homeland," The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Modern "Seinfeld" Twitter feed imagining new episodes goes viral
The feed sprang up Oct. 29, the day after the season's pivotal fifth episode aired.
The account has picked up 28,112 followers since its debut.
The "Parks and Recreation" star tipped his hand by retweeting several of @SergeantBrody's tweets.
For example, he retweeted this one making fun of Brody's daughter, Dana, a favorite target: "DAD! THE DVR ERASED MY FAVORITE SHOW, AND I THINK ITS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!" *Cry* *Cry* #EverythingisMyFault #IBetMikesDVRNeverErasesS---."

She'll have you for breakfast
Lagos – A new-age media company that specializes in gathering and analysing data has recently published a list of the scariest women in Nigeria and the SSS Assistant Director, Public Relations, Marilyn Ogar, came first.
According to the company, many names were put forward but in the end it was a tight race between pretty Nollywood actress, Tonto Dike, Petroleum Resources Minister, Diezani Alison-Madueke, and SSS strong lady, Marilyn.
The honourable minister for petroleum lost out due to the fact that after all the noise over subsidy removal, she still bowed to public pressure and announced that subsidy on kerosene would stay. A real bass-ass would have insisted on removing the subsidy and even added tax on top, said the company.
For not inspiring enough fear in the people to stop them from complaining about the oil subsidy removal the minister was dropped from the list; leaving two.
Miss Tonto Dike was on the list because many actors and even directors are said to be very careful around her. She also famously once had a go at somewhat scary Linda Ikeji the Model / Blogger on twitter.
But ultimately she lost the top spot when it came to light that Ghanaians had been bold enough to ban her from coming to Ghana because she insulted a Ghanaian star.
To qualify as truly awesomely scary, the Ghanaians should have begged her to forgive the actor for his insolence.
Madam Ogar came out tops for many reasons that cannot be published as they are all classified information and anyone who learns them must be killed, but one other thing that tipped the scale her way, according to the collators of the list, is the fact that even Wazobiareport.com has so far not dared to do a story on her.
Notably absent from the list of scary Nigerian women was the Executive Chairperson of the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, Chief (Mrs.) Farida Mzamber Waziri.

Jay Foreman is the Team Manager for Motul Pirelli Suzuki's Australian Motocross and Supercross teams.
The start of the New Year is always a busy one for Motul Pirelli Suzuki as we prepare for the 2012 MX Nationals and Australian Motocross Championship, which starts on April 1st at Conondale in Queensland.
At the beginning of February we headed to New Zealand for the opening round of their national motocross series, where our 450 riders for this year, Cody Cooper and Todd Waters, raced. Cody is the reigning MX1 Champion and is very determined to defend that title this season.
We actually spent a week in NZ testing in the lead-up to the first round, which was important as Todd further adapts to the RM-Z450. We have increased engine power for this year as that's what Todd looks for in the bike, plus we have found a new direction in suspension settings that Cody is also looking to try here in the coming weeks.
Round one of the NZ outdoors at Timaru didn't go exactly to plan for Todd as he crashed out of the event in moto two, bruising his back quite badly, which he is still recovering from. He did finish fifth in race one though, which was a good start against some very strong local competition.
Cody finished fourth overall at the first round, and then in round two at Patetonga he improved to third for his first overall podium of the year in NZ Motocross. Todd didn't make the trip to round two and he won't make the penultimate round this coming weekend either. At this stage we are uncertain if he'll return for the final round.
Next week on Wednesday, March 7th, we'll have the official launch of the MX Nationals in Australia, which we'll also use as a test day out at Appin in New South Wales. Todd, Cody and our Lites rider 'Scuba' Steven Clarke will be at the event, so we'll use the week to test and find settings for each rider.
Scuba arrives in Australia this week and we are looking forward to having him here, although he is still gaining 100% fitness after suffering a broken wrist during Super X here late last year. We're always working on development with the RM-Z250 and I'm confident Scuba will gain some great results with the bike in 2012.
One thing that we will have to focus on this year is completing more tests in sand as the series will be returning to Wanneroo in Western Australia and also Hervey Bay in Queensland during the season. It will be important to get ready for those events, so that's something that we will be working on.
All in all, we have a great base to start from for this year and the Motul Pirelli Suzuki team is excited to get the ball rolling. With two MX1 and one MX2 bikes on track this year it will be a busy one, but that's something that we're all very much looking forward to.

There are some good sources for writers wanting to learn about the comics writing process. TwoMorrows publishes a quarterly (roughly) magazine entitled Write Now!, which features articles on the process, script samples matched to artwork, and the like. Best of Write Now! features a nice mix of articles from the first dozen issues or so. Peter David has written a book on comics scriptwriting. So has Denny O'Neil. And Avatar Press published an essay by Alan Moore on writing comics (though Moore approaches the problem from a theoretical, rather than a practical, perspective).
^^Yep, I've got the O'Neill book. Scott McCloud's Understanding Comics is also valuable as an analysis of how comic-book storytelling (or more generally "sequential art") works.
Christopher RE: #18--you're taking this much too personally. Ferd-- Go back and read your message again--and you'll see that you're exactly making the point I had discussed: presuming that comics and prose writing are so similar as to simply require "fine tuning" between the two. I didn't want to parse Christopher's previous words too exactingly, since I think he was being more casual than precise when he said this, but comics aren't "stories told visually"; they're visual stories. And, before you think that difference is purely semantic, consider a story primarily of two people having a conversation. You can obviously depict that visually, but it won't be a "visual story". I once saw a great pitch for a story of Spock and Data having a 3-D chess match in their heads, simply calling out the moves to each other as they discussed the nature of life, death and sacrifice. (Data had contacted Spock by viewscreen after his cat Spot almost died saving one of her kittens, remembering what Spock had done at the end of TWOK.) A great idea, full of metaphor (chess sacrifice), foreshadowing (Data's sacrifice at the end of NEM) and the philosophical differences between a person interested in enhancing his logic and a machine interested in enhancing his humanity. The makings of an outstanding prose story, right? But as a comic...it was a couple of issues worth of two guys, playing chess. And not even real chess--imaginary chess. By viewscreen. I encouraged the writer to depict the story more visually--flashbacks, some sort of action interspersed with the conversation, whatever he wanted--but he felt that would be "blunt" and cheapen the narrative. C'est la vie. This is, of course, an atypical example, but comic book writing is rife with these kind of differences with prose on virtually every page and in almost every panel. Economy of dialogue, issue pacing, page cliffhangers, page-turn reveals, character blocking, panel-sequence techniques, miniseries vs. ongoing story arc construction, eye-movement composition, page-unit composition, text and visual transitions...the list goes on and on. Most prose writers who want to "dabble" in comics probably don't even know what half those things are--and most readers probably don't know either, because they're not supposed to. You want to give them economy of dialogue without them realizing that they're only getting 35 words per panel. You want to move their eye around the page without them realizing that they're being intentionally led. You want to have them look at the characters in a panel and not realize that they're positioned a certain way primarily to make sure that their word balloons don't criss-cross or land on top of someone's face. And so on. Can prose writers learn these different processes? Well, duh--sure, and many do all the time. But they learn them by, you know, learning them, which usually involves actually writing them. Not "dabbling", or thumbing through a published script and thinking that you've got it, or even reading an entire book on how to do it. You can read a book on how to drive, but it's not really going to teach you how to actually drive. Or, perhaps I can summarize it this way: If you were a book editor, and a comics writer came to you and said: "I don't have any pitches or samples, but I've read a book on how to write a novel, and years ago I dabbled for a couple of pages, they must be really similar, and I know that Peter David does both, so could you challenge me with an assignment?"--would you say "Yes"? Because, if you wouldn't, then that's exactly the kind of diminished perception of comic books that I'm talking about--since those are the traits that people here are saying would qualify a prose writer to work in comics.
Not to step on your particular example, but one good reason to reject such a pitch is that, IIRC, the idea of Spock and Data playing 3-D chess by calling out their moves has already been done in comics--by Peter David in The Modala Imperative.
Okay, Drew, you've talked a lot about what's the wrong attitude for a novelist wanting to get into comics, so what's the right attitude, the right approach? There's limited value in knocking something down unless you have something better to offer in its place. How does a novelist who has a sincere respect for the comics medium and a sincere desire to participate in the field go about earning that opportunity?
C'mon, Christopher, do you really need this explained to you? You do it the same way that you learned to write anything else: You read. You learn. You practice. You do writing exercises, draft sample pages, get them critiqued by your peers. Redraft, resubmit, practice.Take a class, join a writer's group, whatever works for you. And, oh yeah, did I mention practice? It makes perfect, gets you to Carnegie Hall, and lets you look good in front of the cheerleaders before the big game. When I'm dealing with a prose writer (or screenwriter, etc.) who's actually made the effort to learn the craft of comics writing, then I'm more than happy to take a look at what they've got--and, quite frankly, the effort that they put into learning the craft usually immediately shows in their work. It's almost always head-and-shoulders above the work from prose writers who have "dabbled", maybe written a couple of comics pages years and years ago, flipped through a couple of comics scripts and decided that their reputation qualifies them for comics writing, like the writer that I mentioned in my initial message here. The difference between the two is really that obvious; and, as I said, it's the difference between prose writers who take the prospect of comics work seriously and professionally, and those who simply see it as an extra closet in the basement of their talent.
Yow! You're right! After 600+ TV episodes and countless books and comics, I had completely forgotten about that. No wonder I liked the idea so much. What's even weirder is that this pitch came from a fairly well-known, published professional writer. (No, don't try to guess; you'll get it wrong.)
I'm just trying to turn the conversation in a more constructive direction. You've spelled out one side of the issue, now let's talk about the other side. And yes, I would like to know. I'm not one of those alleged dilettantes you're going to such great lengths to condemn. I genuinely do want to get into comics, and that's why I'm asking. For instance, when you talk about drafting sample pages, what should they be? If someone's trying, specifically, to get into writing Trek comics, should they write sample pages of a Trek comic? Or should they be of some other extant comic, or an original creation? You also mention writers' groups; where does one find a writers' group for comics writing?
Out of curiosity, how many novels have you written? I ask that not to be a smartass, but legitimately, because I can't imagine that you'd believe that if you've ever written both. Speaking as someone writing both at the same time right now (Farscape, StarCraft, and Star Trek comics in addition to my prose work, which averages four novels per year), they're completely different in terms of story and story outline. For starters, the storytelling space in a comic book is much much much smaller than it is for a novel. Even the 160-page StarCraft manga I'm working on for TokyoPop has much less room to tell the story than a novel does. By the same token, the method of storytelling is also completely different because you don't have narration (or if you do, it's considerably less than it is in prose -- unless you're Don McGregor in the 1970s, anyhow... ), and you do have visuals. Plus having artwork completely changes the way you construct and pace your story. There's a bit in Farscape #1 that's an amusing joke, an exchange between Crichton and Jothee, but the sequential artwork method of telling the joke makes it considerably funnier than it would've been had I done it in prose. For that matter, there's an exchange between two characters in #3 that would be boring talking heads in prose, but by doing it as a traditional nine-panel page (three rows of three identically sized panels) it becomes a more effective back and forth (especially since one character is constantly changing facial expression and the other stays the same the entire time). It's the words and the pictures that are telling the story together. In prose, you're completely on your own, and you've generally got more room in terms of word count. Yes, you're still telling a story, but the two methods are much much different.
Will Eisner wrote a bunch of stuff about graphic storytelling and visual narrative as well. All are excellent books.
The most honest answer is nothing published. A very wise teacher once told me if we were all professional authors nothing would ever get done. Unfortunately for me all my work is my own. And I take no offense to that at all and can understand why you asked it. But I don't believe that makes me unqualified to comment on my experiences with the two. They may be different than yours or Mr. Harris' or Mr. Bennett's, but that doesn't mean that because they differ I'm wrong. I think (to no one's fault but my own) that I was pretty misunderstood with my original post. I will admit openly and loudly that the mediums are very, very different. Again, I am no professional so this is all from an amateur's perspective. But the work (however limited it's been) I've done has included both mediums. And it can very much be apples and oranges. Outlining/storyboarding (however one plans) a comic and a novel are incredibly different. When Mr. Harris pointed out the difference between visual storytelling and telling a story visually the semantics were not lost on me at all. I was merely saying that my experience (again limited) has shown me that framing a story is very similar with both. Laying it out so that it fits all the criteria can be a big challenge as well, but so can things like description and dialogue in a novel. I understand the difference but don't see it as extreme as Mr. Harris appears to. I will point out I am not saying Mr. Harris is wrong, but I don't believe I am either. All in all I never meant to step on anyone's toes or offend anyone, I was merely offering up my opinion. I enjoy all three of the men's work I am currently discussing this with, so you can imagine how surreal this is for me (getting conversationally backhanded by KRAD, Chris Bennett and Mr. Harris is crazy!). But I think after this I should just sit back and let you guys discuss it, professionally. Amateur hour is over.
The use of narration, whether by an omniscient narrator or by a character in internal monologue, seems to be less common in comics that it used to be. Heck, back in the '30s and early '40s, pretty much every panel was described with a narrative caption even when it didn't need to be. And Stan Lee's comics were loaded with his distinctive, lively, fourth-wall-breaking narration, a style that Marvel (and to some extent DC) followed for decades. And is it my imagination, or are thought balloons becoming less common too?
I can't think of a current comic that I read that uses thought balloons. I'd assumed they'd died off decades ago.
You're not wrong, Christopher... thought balloons are almost completely gone as a storytelling device in modern-day comics. It has a lot to do with the current school of thought of making the art tell as much of the story as the words on the page. If it can't be told through dialogue, the current generation of comics writers will instead have the artist show what he intends to convey rather than spell it out for the reader. About the only time I've recently seen thought balloons used was in Brian Bendis' run on The Mighty Avengers, something of which much ballyhoo was made since he wasn't known for using them much or at all, even before it became the aesthetic choice du jour.
For the record, Ferd, I was trying to backhand you at all, and I'm sorry if I came across that way. I was merely saying that my experience differed wildly from yours. *shrug* Sorry if I came across snottier than intended....
Looking over this thread, it seems to me that Christopher and Andrew Harris are talking past each other. Christopher was talking rather casually about his desire to get into comics, and Andrew seemed to take that as being a sort of superior attitude that prose writers have towards comics writing. Christopher tried explaining himself to Andrew, and Andrew then took the term "challenge" as referring to an incapability rather than a new goal to achieve. Christopher tried to ask about the kinds of attitudes that a prose author should have because of Andrew's seeming preoccupation with the lack of respect for the discipline of comics writing, and Andrew took it as Christopher asking something that should have been common sense. What we have here is a failure to communicate.
Well writing message board posts is an entirely different skill to writing prose and comics, as you're working in an entirely different medium.

Plans found: 15,000+
home | Kitchen Layouts: One-Wall Kitchens
by Allison Gunkel
From the coziest bungalows to the biggest sprawling luxury mansions, every home has a room that gathers the household multiple times daily – the kitchen. Kitchen spaces serve a number of functions from family dinners to afternoon homework sessions, are exposed to high traffic volume, and withstand daily wear and tear from numerous users. It is not surprising then that the kitchen is often referred to as the heart of a home.
A space with such an important role requires special attention to layout and design. When it comes to planning the family kitchen, it is important to acknowledge the work triangle. The kitchen work triangle refers to the three major tasks completed in any kitchen:
Though used differently in every kitchen layout, the work triangle is ideal for making a kitchen functional.
One-wall kitchens are the exception to this rule. The three workstations are still accounted for but lack the triangle layout. Instead, all three important stations lay along the line of a single kitchen wall. This is not ideal but often necessary, used only in small homes or apartments.
View This House Plan
View Other Country House Plans
One-wall kitchens are space savers, leaving ample floor space for the homeowner. Compact workstations make it easy to move from task to task with everything necessary often at hand. The trade-offs lie in less storage space, especially underneath countertops. One-wall kitchens are also not designed for use by more than one cook at a time as traffic jams are frequent in tight spaces.
If a one-wall kitchen is the best option for your home, there are features that can alleviate some frustration of a small kitchen. Though under-counter space is limited, ceiling high cabinets can provide plenty of storage options. Keep seasonal or rarely used items on the highest shelves and invest in a quality stepladder. Light colors and natural light make the room appear larger than it is and can be combined with sections of open shelves or racks. Pots, pans, and daily used kitchenware can be stored on open shelves for easy access and decorative display.
When installing the refrigerator, place the appliance where it can be accessed easiest while minimizing kitchen traffic. Cooking is always easier when other household members can grab a drink without interrupting the cook's tasks. The refrigerator door should also open away from the sink so as to be accessed easily by the cook at another station.
Sinks are used for both prep and clean up and ought to be arranged at the center of the work line. To make the one-wall kitchen as functional as possible, 12 to 24 inches should lie between refrigerator and sink with 24 to 30 inches lying between the sink and the cooktop. Additionally, there should always be at least 12 inches on both sides of the cooktop. Remember that these measurements are minimums- if there is more space available, take advantage and expand your countertops. Rarely is there every too much workspace in a kitchen!
While not ideal for most families or regular spells of gourmet cooking, the one-wall kitchen certainly serves numerous households perfectly well. It is a simple and inexpensive design that should not be overlooked.

2 Counter Grid 3 Practice - Section 2: Guided Practice
Decomposing 2 & 3
Lesson 5 of 12
Objective: SWBAT show the different ways to "make" 2 and 3 with 2-colored counterl
"Girls and boys, is this 2?" I ask, showing 2 red counters on the big screen.
"Well, yeah, Ms. Novelli," students respond.
"Hmm… is this 2?" I ask, showing 2 yellow counters on the big screen.
"Yes!' they exclaim.
"But 2 red… 2 yellow… are they the same?" I ask.
"No!" students respond.
"But you told me they're both 2!" I'm confused, I say, hoping my acting skills are paying off.
"Yellow can be 2 and red can be 2," a student says matter-of-factly.
"But they're not the same… and they are the same? How can different things be 2?" I press on.
"Well, as long as you have 2 of them, you can have 2 different things," a student says.
"So there are different ways to make 2," I say. "Let's check them out!'
Resources (5)
Guided Practice
We begin with 2 red counters, and we color them in to record the combination on our recording page. We even total 2 red and 0 yellow. (The concept of 0 gets tricky sometimes… they always want to say there's something!)
Next, we systematically flip over 1 red from the right side and we again color and write the numbers.
I have the students tell me to make the last red yellow, so that it's all yellow, and we record our possibility.
Three is on the back, and for a moment, I totally forget my head. We do the first group of 3 together—just like we did for 2.
The students seem to be doing really well, and they ask to practice all by themselves, and I make a huge mistake and say, 'Sure."
Some kids start randomly flipping counters, and I see we have a mess. I try to swoop I and help a confused friend, but ultimately, I'm waiting for a chance to re-teach this!
Resources (3)
Students show their different combinations to make 2 and 3. There are a lot of different combinations showing 2 red and 1 yellow or 2 yellows and 1 red. Hmm. We don't quite have this concept "down," I realize.

Allen, G.F.G.;
The neurochemical consequences of aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase deficiency.
Doctoral thesis, UCL (University College London).
1310134.pdf Download (6MB) |
Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) catalyses the conversion of 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-dopa) to the neurotransmitters serotonin and dopamine respectively. The inherited disorder AADC deficiency leads to a severe deficit of serotonin and dopamine as well as an accumulation of 5-HTP and L-dopa. This thesis investigated the potential role of 5-HTP/L-dopa accumulation in the pathogenesis of AADC deficiency. Treatment of human neuroblastoma cells with L-dopa or dopamine was found to increase intracellular levels of the antioxidant reduced glutathione (GSH). However inhibiting AADC prevented the GSH increase induced by L-dopa. Furthermore dopamine but not L-dopa, increased GSH release from human astrocytoma cells, which do not express AADC activity. GSH release is the first stage of GSH trafficking from astrocytes to neurons. This data indicates dopamine may play a role in controlling brain GSH levels and consequently antioxidant status. The inability of L-dopa to influence GSH concentrations in the absence of AADC or with AADC inhibited indicates GSH trafficking/metabolism may be compromised in AADC deficiency. 5-HTP was demonstrated to potentially be mildly toxic to human neuroblastoma cells but not astrocytoma cells; however the concentrations required for this response are likely to be higher than pathophysiological levels in AADC deficiency. These results indicate the need for investigations addressing the effects of chronic 5-HTP exposure as only acute effects were investigated in the current study. This thesis also investigated the effect of altered availability of the AADC coenzyme pyridoxal 5"-phosphate (PLP) on AADC activity, protein and expression. In two patients with inherited disorders of PLP metabolism reductions in plasma AADC activity were observed. Furthermore PLP-deficient human neuroblastoma cells were found to exhibit reduced levels of AADC activity and protein but not altered expression. These findings suggest maintaining adequate PLP availability may be important for optimal treatment of AADC deficiency.

A Spring Dinner Menu - Gluten-Free and Fabulous
Mid-May Menu Inspiration
Daylight is lingering each day a few beats longer. The view outside my window is thick with green. Mid-May is distinctly glorious. Ah, but you're here for the food. Forgive me for waxing all warm weather poetic on ya.
Here are some lovely Spring-Into-Summer recipes for your gluten-free baking/cooking/eating pleasure. A classic or two. Or six. What's on the menu?
A drink made of strawberries. An appetizer of tender-crisp asparagus with maple-tahini dressing. Crispy pan-fried catfish. Cool and snappy peanutty slaw. New potato salad in a vegan dressing. And crunchy lemon iced ginger thins.
The berries are ripening. Which turns a girl's thoughts to smoothies. I'll take mine pink. As in strawberry. So cool. Light. refreshing. I've made it with hemp milk, soy milk, and moo cow milk. All versions are delicious. Choose the milk that works for your body.
Get the recipe: Karina's Strawberry Smoothie.
Make your appetizer a green one. Crackers and chips are so yesterday. Bring on the Spring Queen. Asparagus. I cook it just till tender crisp. Then I top it with my Maple Tahini Dressing and sprinkle it with sea salt. The flavors are lip smacking.
Get the recipe: Asparagus with Maple Tahini Dressing + Sea Salt
One of my favorite simple dinners is pan fried catfish. So flavorful. The texture is lovely- flaky, and tender. Here I've made a crumb style coating with three gluten-free flours. It was crispy, light and golden.
Get the recipe: Karina's Pan Fried Catfish
And what better to go with crispy fried fish than a cold snappy slaw with peanut dressing. No dairy or mayo in sight. This is slaw you'll be making all summer. So good.
Get the recipe: Karina's Peanutty Cole Slaw
Tis the season for new potatoes- and these little heirloom gems are my favorite. The smooth- and dare I say- buttery taste of these tiny heirloom potatoes needs almost no seasoning. Seriously. I didn't add anything that might overpower their distinctive fresh potato flavor. You can always add a little diced red onion, if you like. But I suggest letting these potatoes shine.
Get the recipe: Heirloom Potato Salad with Vegenaise
Finish your supper with a thin and crispy bite of these gingery cookies. A drizzle of lemon icing clears the palette. A walk after dinner is calling.

Britain's Jewish Chronicle responded on Friday to controversy over a Gaza aid appeal that it ran as an advertisement.
The Disaster Emergency Committee, a British umbrella organization for international aid organizations, began running the advertisement for its Gaza crisis appeal in various publications.
In response to controversy over its decision to run the ad, The Jewish Chronicle's editor, Stephen Pollard, issued a statement explaining that the ad was not an expression of the newspaper's editorial view, which he said is separate from its commercial operations.
"The ad was approved by the chairman of the JC, who has no involvement in editorial decisions, as an ad for humanitarian aid which nowhere makes political or partisan points," Pollard wrote.
The ad featured an image of a Palestinian child and stated, "Thousands of children in Gaza … are injured, homeless and living in fear. They desperately need medical supplies, shelter, food and water right away."
Pollard, however, wrote that he and the newspaper "are entirely supportive of Operation Protective Edge, as our coverage has demonstrated."
Pollard concluded his statement by writing, "Even if you profoundly disagree with the ad appearing in the paper, I hope this will go some way to explaining its presence and that it is in no way part of our editorial stance."

Nic Costa and his partner Gianni Peroni are called to reports of an intruder. Instead they find a woman's naked body, scarred in a geometric pattern. Almost immediately they are met by a team from the FBI determined to take over an investigation into what they claim is a killer murdering American tourists around the world, in ways which link back to the mystical structure of the Pantheon itself.
But one agent, Emily Deacon, has a different story to tell, one that has a tragic personal dimension. Through her and an elusive Iraqi girl Laila, only witness to the death in the Pantheon, Nic Costa is pulled relentlessly into the world of the Iraq war and the shadowy secret agents whose job was to penetrate the regime of Saddam Hussein before the armed forces attacked.
Soon he is aware that there is a conspiracy at the heart of these deaths which runs back to Washington, and the past of Emily Deacon's dead father, a tangle of connections he has to unravel, even if it comes at a considerable personal and professional cost. A madman is loose in the frozen winter landscape of Rome, and as Costa soon realises, he is one the American agents know only too well.
©2005 David Hewson; (P)2005 W.F. Howes Ltd.
Love having someone read me a story. Fires in the hearth, rain on the roof, sunny days and surf. Good friends, good food and J S Bach.
"In the Mood"
I found with 'Garden of Evil', that listening for a second time altered my perspective, and over the years have listened to that novel more than twice. And 'enjoyed' it very much.
Grisly yes, Hewson's novels can be that. Maybe a listener does need to be in the mood for bloody mayhem and be prepared with an open mind for a different way of the macabre. being presented.
Hewson's novels could disturb your equilibrium and, a bit like good art. help you see the world in a slightly different way. Italy is a grand area for such shifts in perspective, some buildings or streets may never be quite the same for you. Not in a nightmare sense at all but more along the lines of pushing us to view the world as possibly being different to what we are told.
Saul Reichlin reads well too
The plot gets lost in ponderous narrative and monotone narrator. This story is promoted as a thriller/serial murder mystery but turns out to be a longwinded novel.
"Promises much, delivers little"
Rome, the Pantheon, weird symbols and the Vitruvian Man all promised an involved story with some more "Da Vince Code-esque" nonsensical but thoroughly enjoyable conspiracies. Not so this time. This is a bog-standard detective story with a twist that leaves you saying "Oh - was that all?". I puffed my way through it in the gym expecting at any moment that it would liven up, but sadly it plodded through to a rather mediocre ending. Actually, I was kind of hoping something really really awful was going to happen to a few main characters because I really couldn't care less what happened to them.
On the positive side this is well-narrated with good character voices, the descriptions of Rome are engaging and if you've visited (what do you mean you haven't? EVERYONE must go to Rome at least once...) it will be quite vivid. The ending is neat if a little cheesy, and there are a few moments of genuine tension.
As per several of my other reviews I wish Audible would start a ratings system similar to movies. In the UK I would give this a "15" for obscene language and blasphemy, which is narrated with stomach-churning enthusiasm. Oh how I wish authors could leave this out! It spoils so many potentially good stories and is quite unnecessary. John Grisham is a good example of how to write brilliantly without foul and offensive language.
"Interesting Depiction of Southerners"
The plot of the book was pretty good, but the characterization of southerners was a bit hard to take. I cringed every time I heard the word "yall" used in the second person singular. Southerners usually use "you" as the second person singular and reserve "you all" or "yall" for the second person plural. We may have some colloquialisms, but we aren't grammatically ignorant, as almost every character in this book is depicted as being. The over done accents and misused "you all" made listening to the book a challenge, even when I was interested in the plot.
I'm an avid listener. Audio books are a mini-vacation for me. They fill my "need to read" when I don't have time - which is most of the time. Great element of multi-tasking!
"Good narrator; Terrible American accents"
While the characters are well drawn and the Italians are well portrayed (even though the narrator has an English Accent!!),the American dialects are so distracting as to be laughable and/or irritating. Great story, though.
"Real talky"
This is a very talky mystery but the mystery is more when is will end. It ends with a whimper whereby the killer just fades into the jail and the "cast" talks some more. I listened until the story quit.
"great read"
Great read. Good characters. Good narration except for the American FBI agent. I hope audible picks up more of the books in the series
"great book"
This is a really great listen. I listen to A LOT of books & this is one of the best.
It is a very good thriller with a similar thematic to the Da Vinci Code... but not at all a rip off.
For sure a must read
This is without a doubt the worst book I have ever listened to. Im not sure which was worse, the abysmal reading or the incredibly inept dialogue. The reader attempted accents that were far beyond his abilities that were neither convincing nor consistent. He must have put little time and effort into actually reading the book before he read it as he regularly expressed emotions incorrectly. E.g. 'You wont get away with this' Nic shouts angrily, is read in a mincing, whiney voice that sounds anything but angry. Then there is the dialogue, which is so totally unrealistic that it must have been written by someone who has spent his entire life living under a rock.
If you can actually get past the pathetic reading, ridiculous characters and the incredibly unreal dialogue, you may discover that there is actually the skeleton of a good story line. This story line was unfortunately spoiled by writing and reading styles so obnoxious, they leave me wondering how this book ever got published.
Save your money, there are plenty of other good books out there.
"The Sacred Cut"
This is one of the best books I heard lately.It is well written and tells not only a story with great characters, but shows a lot of the conveluted and corrupt mechanisms of States. The person is nobody, the interests of of a State and it's minions, all.This is book 3 in a great series. Since I could not find the other ones as audios, I bought the books. Great reads!!!!!
"Pure enjoyment!"
Good fast paced police/spy thriller with excellent delivery by the reader. The characters have depth and are believable, the story intriguing with good well thought out plot. A very enjoyable listen, I would be interested in more from this author and reader.
"Please record more!!"
First time had 'read' anything from David Hewson and thought it was excellent - please get more!!! Well plotted with explanations which fit into the flow of conversation and discovery - and a couple of unexpected twists. Most enjoyable.
"Great book - well read."
Good plot, marvellous setting and great characterisation but what really makes the book come alive is the skill of the narrator. Has made me want to read more David Hewson and listen more to Saul Reichlin.
"Worst impulse buy ever!"
I totally agree with Bryan on this one. I got this audiobook on an impulse, I quite like thrillers/espionage/police dramas. Not a lot of them but when they are good I can't resist. So in light of the buzz and the glowing reviews for this book I got it, thinking it would be awesome. I was hugely disapointed, I mean surely its not asking for much when your asking for a plot of some description. Or some characters which are believably, even 2D would have been fine if I could have cared at all about them. I finished the book out of sheer determination alone and most of that was painful, listening to the oh so obvious 'twists', figuring out back at the beginning of the book who it was, what all the 'clever' connections were. Please people don't get this book - two others which are significantly better are A Death in Vienna by Daniel Silva and The Double Eagle by I forget who.
"Great story"
Great story line that captures the listener and gathers them in.
I really enjoyed this, it was nice not to be in the USA, UK or the usual places that seem to attract crime writers. Being in Italy and Rome was refreshing and the story being a mix of crime/spying was well put together, the fact that the setting was Rome made the story even more enjoyable for me.
Clever ending to the story, which was unexpected.
Loved this, will try further novels by this author.
"Dissapointing and laboured end to a good book"
This book comes in two sections - the first cracking and interesting, draws the reader in. The second half starts out well but the story continues a good hour and a half longer than it needed to and loses all goodwill it had engendered thus far.
Very, very disappointing. No need to spoil a good book like that.
"The Sacred Cut (Disappointing for me too)"
I have to agree with Bryan and Hannah's reviews, I thought this book was rather lacking of any believable or tangible plot.
I must admit, I was swayed by the positive reviews on this site to purchase the book and I am glad I didn't pay the full price as I think I would have been put off from any future purchases.
However, I will state that the reader was superb and I would like to listen to other books he has read.
"Good story, well read"
This is a well-crafted narrative with a bit of a surprise at the end. The story is not as stunningly shocking as the one in the first book in Hewson's Rome series, but it keeps one hooked the whole way. The reader is very good and able to do lots of accents that helps one to keep track of all the different characters.
"Thoroughly enjoyable and engaging ..."
A really well paced book that kept me hooked. I also easily identified with the 'large organisation' mentality too and the grey men pulling the strings. Will definitely read another by this author, and the reader was good too.
Had never heard of this author before, but chose it as it was a good long listen and sounded good. We weren't disappointed! Great plot and believable characters. Disappointed when it finished! I'll be looking for more by David Hewson. Well read by Saul Reichlin.

SANFORD — Chapter 1044 of the Vietnam Veterans of America will hold an open house to celebrate Vietnam Veterans Appreciation Day on Saturday, March 30, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The chapter is collaborating with the Sanford Elks Lodge 1470 and will hold the event at the Elks Lodge at 13 Elm Street.
Coffee and doughnuts will be provided.
The documentary "In the Shadow of the Blade" will be shown during the open house at noon. The film follows the 10,000-mile journey of a battle-scarred UH-1 "Huey" helicopter into America's backyards to hear the untold stories of Vietnam War veterans and their families who waited for them to come home. The evocative healing power of this film has been described as "the most important thing to happen to Vietnam veterans since the dedication of The Wall."
Chapter 1044's mission, as well as the mission of all members of the Vietnam Veterans of America, is to ensure that no service member, regardless of the generation in which they served, is ever forgotten.
For more information about the organization or its upcoming open house, please contact Chapter President Joseph Armstrong at 490-2094 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Valentine's Day star moms Jennifer Garner and Demi Moore get gorgeous with natural products (like this exotic oil)…do you?
If you want to get the silkiest skin, hair and body possible when you're snuggling up to your honey on Valentine's Day, try checking out the latest from Elemis. It's a rich, exotic Monoi oil that can multitask nearly as much as you do (and that's saying a lot!)
The Product: Elemis Exotic Frangipani Monoi Moisture Melt
Five Ways We Would Use It:
1. Pamper Your Body: Try slathering this Lipid-filled oil on your skin right after the shower (or add a few drops to your bath water), for silky smooth, supremely hydrated skin.
2. Make It Work: We recommend mixing a tiny amount with your favorite shimmering lotion, highlighter or bronzer, to create a flattering lotion (apply down the length of the leg, across your decolletage or along your shoulders to create the illusion of a longer body).
3. Help Your Hair: If you have problem with dryness in your hair, try using this once a week for a damage-reducing conditioning treatment (slather on dry areas or massage into scalp, and rinse out after 5 minutes). Try using a small amount as a shine serum on dry or damp hair, to help tame fly-aways and reduce the appearance of split-ends.
4. Give a Manicure: This is the perfect product to hydrate cuticles, make nails look shiny and help treat chapped, rough hands and feet. Simply apply to any areas you want to hydrate (cover in socks or gloves, if possible) and leave on overnight. Voila!
5. Smell Gorgeous: Try taking a small amount of this floral-smelling oil and mixing with a few drops of your favorite perfume. Gently tap on the major pressure points of your body (or anywhere you want to smell nice), and let it dry (avoid rubbing, which can break up the scent). Your perfume will last longer, and you'll smell amazing!
* Do ever use exotic oils in your beauty regimen?

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Having gone to China this was an interesting take on how China is now..A guy fiorm New Zealand buys a pack of men's underwear for a low price and then wonders how they could be made and sold at such a price. He decided to follow their history back to their starting point. tjis journey takes him to Shanghai and on tothe industrialised and not so industrialised areas of China. Through his time he comes to expereince some of the ways of life and philosophies of China and the Chinese I enjoyed Joe Bennett's writing style, especially the humor of his invented verbs and observation of contrasts in his China travels. An interesting read but not particularly gripping. This is just one view of what life is like in China - probably a view that Chinese people wouldn't agree with. When I was reading the book, one of my Chinese colleagues felt offended about the cover. Joe Bennett tells his story in a personable style. Overall I'm glad I've read the book. All cliches that you can scrape everywhere from pages on the Internet put together in a book; you might call that an achievement. Entertaining, but not particularly accurate. Nothing new, and the author is lighthearted about data he wishes to but cannot obtain. Quite a few inaccuracies around in numbers and figures thrown in by the author. no reviews | add a review
No descriptions found. This is a wonderfully funny and insightful look at the new China, the factory of the world - tracing an ordinary pair of underpants from their purchase in New Zealand back to where they were made. (summary from another edition) |
