I get inspirations and ideas from here and there.  I love ideas for a romantic Valentines day table setting.   From the above, the Lenox Butler’s pantry charger plate in the table setting is really neat.  Then the Vintage Tower by Spade dinner plate and the red salad plate picked up at Home goods.  I like the heart shaped doilly underneath the awesome little heart shaped bundt cake with a raspberry  jam heart shape topping.

I especially liked the heart-shaped bundt cakes.  Especially because the website that I saw it had the recipe for the bundt cakes and where to find the pan to make them.  The recipe was called 1234 Cake and was a recipe given to her by her mother-in-law.  I pinned the recipe on my Pinterest Valentines day ideas and I also printed out the recipe.

I just thought that they were super cute and would be fun and quite easy to make as well as something that would be impressive to make for someone for Valentines day.

They used a Wilton pan to bake the cute cakes in and it can be found on the Wilton web site and also on Amazon.  Someone also said that they found one at Michaels Craft store.  I want to get that pan.

I also like the Crimson Hock wine glass by Waterford.  So elegant and the color just is awesome with the tablescape.  The tea light candle holders are also Waterford.

The Vintage Tower by Spade plate is just plain pretty and just looks elegant with the charger underneath it.

There are so many awesome ideas for inspiration.  I like the heart-shaped red napkin idea just on a white plate and then the white roses in just a crystal color vase.  I put the tutorial for how to fold that napkin on my Valentines day ideas on my Pinterest.

I liked the envelope idea for Valentines cookies.  So cute and easy to make.  Just a rectangle cookie cutter that has ruffles on it. and piping a white line and using your favorite shortbread cookie recipe.  I have a recipe that I really like that was in a Better Homes and Garden cookbook from the 70’s for cut out cookies.

The cherry heart tarts are so cute.

I also like the letters spelling out love.  They have a ton of those letters at Michaels Craft store.  I like the LOVE idea.  So cute with a vase of red carnations in the middle.  I think I would put red and white carnations with a little ivy over the sides in a plain crystal vase.  I don’t particularly like the white design on the letters.  Just plain red would work for me.

I also like the Cherub candle holder.  So cute.

A glass of Champagne and chocolate covered strawberries.  I like that inspiration.

I like all the ideas for a dinner for two.  I put the links to the recipes on my Valentines Day ideas on my Pinterest.  I try a little bit from different places where I see ideas and it’s fun to try out recipes.  Sometimes they come out and sometimes it’s a disaster.  But it’s always fun.

The inspiration I got from the above is I like the shape of that vase for the red roses and the way the white rose looks with the white ribbon on the red napkin.

I like the simple, yet elegant look of white swirl frosting on a white cupcake recipe and the red heart.  I like stuff that looks artistic but is not so full of details that it’s not fun to make.  I like the box with the window pane idea.  Those boxes come in all sizes and I first noticed them from a pie stand where they tied a string around the box making the box look even cuter.

I like Valentine cut out cookies and am always looking for ideas to decorate them that are easy to do and look nice.  You don’t have to fuss with them and they are fun to make.

Just a little frosting and sprinkles is another inspiration.

So cute to package up and send with children to a Valentines party at their school.  When my kids were little, I used to love to make cut out cookies.  I never had boxes like the above, though.  I love that idea.

I saw an inspiration for Nutella Cheescake Chocolate Cookie Cups that sounded and looked good to me.

Then I saw a mini heart pizza that was made from frozen bread dough that sounded fun to make.

I love roasted beet salad with walnuts and goat cheese.  I saw a recipe where you roast shallets along with the beets and then marinade them in a balsamic vinegar for the salad.  I tried that last night and it was one of the best salads I ever tried.  I didn’t do the heart shape beets but that would be fun for Valentines day.

I love a nice cup of tea and Earl Grey is my favorite.

I can’t even imagine an elegant winter tea like the above.  Love the pink roses setting off all the white.

I think those little bundt pans that they have to make cakes in are just elegant looking.  King Arthur Flour has all kinds of the bundt pans in all sizes.

The above is my fondest inspiration.  It’s a Yankee barn home with open beams and I love everything about it.  It can be built anywhere because it’s a modular home and it’s more affordable then anything you can find on the market if you have a piece of land.

And that’s my thoughts for today.

Musings on the Importance of Integrity

In the past year or so I have been on a journey to become a happier, better, more positive version of myself. I have realized that that is a much more complicated goal than I had imagined. It has basically forced me to examine every aspect of my life and think about what it all means. Right now I am thinking about how integrity fits into all of that.

in·teg·ri·ty /inˈteɡrədē/

1. the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.

synonyms: honesty, probity, rectitude, honor, good character, principle(s), ethics, morals, righteousness, morality, virtue, decency, fairness, scrupulousness, sincerity, truthfulness, trustworthiness

antonyms: dishonesty

Seems like the first rule of being a person of integrity is to be an honest person. I admit in the past I have struggled to be an honest person. When I was a kid, and even as a teenager, I lied constantly. I don’t even know why I did! You could have shown me a video of me, clearly doing something I wasn’t supposed to be doing and I would still lie. I would die before admitting to any wrong doing.

My mother would beg me to just be truthful. She would promise me I wouldn’t be in any trouble if I would just tell the truth. She would get other family members to ask me things hoping I would tell the truth to someone. I never did though. As an adult I am embarrassed by the amount of lies I told as a child. Especially the ones that were obvious and stupid, I must’ve looked so foolish.

“Speak your mind even if your voice shakes.”

― Unknown

As an adult I lied less but still got myself in some trouble here and there because of lies. I think that’s normal though. I think most, it not all, people lies sometimes. I think as I get older lying feels like so much more work than just telling the truth. I don’t ever want to lie again. I have no need to. If everything I do at the very least comes from good intentions then I can take responsibility for whatever consequences come.

But there are many ways to lie. People of integrity do not with hold information or lie by omission. People of integrity do not hide their true feelings or pretend to feel something that they do not. People of integrity do not say things just because they think people want to hear or lie to spare others feelings. They also do not say things just to get the reactions that they want, they do not manipulate.

There is a deeper sort of honesty that I think integrity requires too. I think of it as a fearless sort of honesty. For me that means not just telling the truth, but speaking my truth. Speaking about what is inside of me and what I believe is right and wrong, all the time. In order to do that you have to have a good understanding of morality and a set of beliefs to preach to the world. You have to have a drive to show people the truth, even before they ask for it.

“Integrity is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.“

— C.S. Lewis

After that you have to match your words and beliefs up with your actions. You have to strive to be honest and righteous in all things that you do. For the most part my beliefs on morality can be summed up in to two rules “treat others the way you would want to be treated” and “how would you feel if it was you?”. They aren’t much but they keep me at least operating from good intentions.

Lately I have added two new rules to live by. One is to I try to live in such a way that I make the world better by being here, even if only a little bit. I try to leave every room and person in better condition then when I found them. The other is to “first, do no harm”. I’ve learned recently that I can’t always help a situation or a person, but I can at least try not to make anything worse.

“Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.”

— Gandhi

I have a vision of the person I want to be and that person is authentic and real both inside and out and both privately and publicly. This person has nothing to hide and always tries to do the right thing. This person isn’t perfect though and when she is wrong she admits it and tries to make it right. This person does these things even when it is hard to do. She does it because it build trust and respect and if the surest way to a life without fear.

Professional Websites Do Not Have To Come At A Hefty Price. Boutique Firms Can Provide Affordable Solutions

We like to think that you can have your cake and eat it too when it comes to affordable web design in Hamilton. We partner with small business after they supply the idea for unique goods and services. We are the professionals who understand how to put together a professional website and how to market it to the people that will buy those products.

Website Mistakes You Should Be Sure To Avoid To Ensure Your Site Is Optimized

Being careful and consistent are two of the cornerstones of our custom web design in Hamilton business. Over the years we’ve been supplying this online business card to our valued clients, we’ve seen some unfortunate blunders. Here are just a few of the things that you will avoid when you deal with Zinger Web Design.

How To Be Sure You Have The Right Web Developer For Your Business

When your car breaks down, you want to be sure that it’s getting fixed by a licensed mechanic who has the experience and dedication to get the job done right the first time. If you need a new pair of glasses, you’re more than likely to get the most for your money by starting the process off with a licensed optometrist. The same rule applies when hiring an expert Hamilton web developer.

The Importance of Call To Action Buttons on a Website

Once you get a visitor to your website, as a business owner you have one goal. Get them to perform an action. A lot of business owners make the same mistake with their website. They think the best thing for their potential customer or client is to provide them with loads of information. You are right to assume that your visitors will want to know more about your business, but more than anything they will want to know this information within the first 5 seconds on the website. What do they want next? To be told what to do next.

Among Other Things, There Are Many Benefits of Product and Services Pages on Your Website

The biggest mistake that a small business owner will make when planning out the navigation and structure of their website is to do it with their own mindset and knowledge of the industry and business they are trying to promote.  You want to get into the mind of the actual person that will be coming to your website looking for information which is why there are benefits of product and services pages on your website.

Why Use a Landing Page for Your AdWords Campaign

You have a website that is performing as it should be for your business, but do you have a specific adwords landing page? It is capturing some organic traffic and provides information to those who already know of your business and seek you out. Everything is going “okay”. You may have even done some research to figure out that maybe some online advertising is the best route for your business right now. This is probably a great solution. It could also turn out to be a very costly waste of time if you don’t approach this right.

How to Choose the Best Web Hosting in Canada

If you’re starting a new business or personal website (and have been keeping up with my blog posts), then you might be starting to realize there is a lot more to building a website than having a computer and some basic computer skills. There are a lot of hidden things you will not even think about until you cross that path. One of the things you have to add to your “to-do list” is find a proper web hosting for the website. If you think like me, the first thing you will do is input “web hosting in Canada” into your favourite search engine to see what comes up. Already you will hit a snag a realize this is more complicated than you thought.

How to Sell Online Advertising Space

Online advertising refers to the advertisements certain businesses place on different websites with the hope of turning that website’s visitors into potential customers who will buy their product or services. Online advertising is a highly lucrative venture, and thousands of companies are looking to take advantage of its great benefits, even on small websites that don’t generate a lot of traffic. That’s right! Even small websites with fewer visitors can make it big selling advertising space online. With the right know and a set of steps, learn how to sell online advertising space to start making a passive income.

1. Start with the Website

You may be thinking, “That’s crazy. Why would anyone be interested in a small website to promote their brand? I could never get to a point where enough people would be interested in that.” Big and small companies alike, however, do indeed use small websites to promote their business because they know smaller visitor bases lead to higher conversion rates, and the first thing you will need is a website of your own.

By signing up for a free website above, you won’t even need capital to start. Simply choose a topic or idea about which you are passionate, and you are well on your way to collecting a stream of checks businesses will pay you each month just to put their ad on your site.

2. Get People to Visit

Most businesses are only interested in purchasing ad space if you have enough people visit your site on a consistent basis. The number of visitors depends, of course, on each business, but most require at least 600 to 1000 to start. This may seem high, but it isn’t hard to do. It takes an initial time investment, but with enough help from people like me at wealthy affiliate, you too can learn the steps you will need to take to get there. Once you have enough people visiting and interacting on your site, all it takes is signing up with ad providers or reaching out to different companies expressing your interest in marketing for them. To get started with this process, online communities such as Wealthy Affiliate can help!

3. Let it Grow

The more you grow you website, the more companies will want to pay you to advertise their products and services. Growing your website is a fine art that takes business and patience, but you aren’t alone in your journey.

Putting health under the supervision of Directorates responsible also for industrial policy, trade or agriculture will simply not work and will not improve citizens’ health. Here is why.

Cooking a healthy EU budget

The future of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) of the EU slowly became the Elephant in the room in the European policy and advocacy arena. While I am writing, its potential architecture is taking its final shape via ongoing discussions and hard negotiations – behind closed doors.

Why are we talking about health at all?

Health is among the core values of the EU – citizens’ health is a pre-condition of economic prosperity and societal well-being is one of the ultimate goals of the whole integration process. EU policy action is meant to complement the Single Market and was introduced by the Treaty of Maastricht in 1993. While the EU has strong competence to impose policy action in the area of prevention (regulating alcohol, food, tobacco, medicines, audiovisual media services, air pollution etc.) it is often overshadowed by the complementary competence in the area of healthcare where the EU – indeed – supplements Member States which are responsible for their health systems.

Where would the European Commission put Health in the EU budget?

There were letters leaked recently in which Commission President Juncker and Vice-President Oettinger unveiled the future menu for the budget. It is remarkable, that the place of health is still an open question.

Option 1: – Health will be part of the ‘Single Market’ instrument as ‘Food safety; human, animal and plant health’

Option 2: – ‘The inclusion of a separate health programme as part of an investing in people cluster remains a possible option’

What are the pros and cons?

Putting health under the single market is a logical step as the completion of the common market cannot be achieved without a health component. It is expected that this cluster will be given more financial resources which would – de facto – mean more money for health. Flexibility could be also helpful as in case of need, this structure would allow more money allocation. However, the danger is very high that health will be dissolved in a large pool and in case of conflict of interests, most likely economic aspects will be dominant. In other words, there are lack of guarantees that health aspects will dominate and prevail.

What does the European Parliament want?

The European Parliament has adopted its resolution of 14 March 2018 on the next MFF: Preparing the Parliament’s position on the MFF post-2020 (2017/2052(INI)) which suggests a different structure and strong political commitment to health.

100. “Recognises the European added value of collaboration in addressing common public health threats; notes that no single Member State can tackle cross-border health challenges alone, and calls for the next MFF to reflect the EU’s responsibility to implement the SDG on public health, health systems and environment-related health problems, and to support Member States in eliminating growing health inequalities; considers that, on the basis of the positive outcome of the ongoing actions in this field, the next MFF should include a robust next-generation health programme that addresses these issues on a cross-border basis, e.g. by achieving innovative solutions for healthcare delivery, including digital health, such as the European Reference Networks, and that provides support to Member States in the form of expertise and exchange of data, evidence and good practice; recalls that good health is a prerequisite for achieving other goals set by the EU and that policies in such fields as agriculture, environment, employment, social issues or inclusion also have an impact on the health of Europeans; calls, therefore, for the strengthening of health impact assessments and for cross-sectoral cooperation in the next MFF in this field;”

According to the EP structure, health would be part of ‘Heading 2: Stronger cohesion and solidarity in Europe’ as health and food safety.

Conflict of interest in EU health policy

We all can agree on that the current status of EU health policy is no option anymore and revision is needed. But this should not mean killing EU health policy and reducing it to the absolute minimum as health is a core value of the integration since 1993. We have witnessed the attempt in 2014 to put the political responsibility of pharmaceuticals under the industrial commissioner, which has failed. Another attempt was to withdraw the directive regulating air pollutant emissions which failed again, in both cases due to a strong civil society campaign and movement. You can not be credible about citizens’ health is you are at the same time responsible not to put burden on industries. Sometimes, burdens are necessarry to protect health (eg. regulating tobacco products, food or air pollution). You can not make both the wolf and sheep happy.

How to avoid ‘conflict of interests’ in EU health action?

I see the need for ensuring an independent, coherent EU health approach protecting citizens’ health from the failure of the internal market but also to tackle common challenges to some extent at EU level to help member states to make their own political decisions. As the next place where decisions will be made will be within the framework of the MFF, securing an independent health budget line in the form of the health programme could be the first step to that direction. This is important but not enough: without a strong vision and political leadership, the EU will fail to deliver to show its social face and our leaders can not be surprised if euroscepticism will raise again.

Parsis at The Kala Ghoda Fest!

The Kala Ghoda Arts Festival (KGAF) is a landmark in Mumbai’s cultural scene that brings you eclectic forms of artistic expressions including crafts, performing arts, food, culture and history. When it comes to Mumbai’s culture and history, the massive contributions made by our Parsi community is greatly acknowledged. No wonder then, that Parsis also form an integral part of the KGAF, involved in all aspects of this cultural bastion of Mumbai!

Nicole Mody, Food Curator, KGAF

US Parsis love our food and what better way to express this than organize events that cater (pun unintended) to gastronomic delights! At KGAF we meet Nicole Mody, Festival Coordinator and Food Curator, who shoulders the responsibility of organizing the entire food vertical of the Festival including workshops and contests. Nicole and her team work to precision ensuring seamless transition from one event to the next. The packed houses at the workshops bear testament to the fact that Nicole knows what the public wants. Nicole says, “I have been a part of the KGAF since the year 2009 but it was only in 2012 that I moved to curating the food festival. I am a big foodie and I guess this was an evolution of sorts for me because even in my professional career I have moved from planning art and public events to marketing brands and curating food related events.”

Chef Darius Madan

Another Parsi we bump into is Chef Darius Madan, executive chef at Kaboom, a restaurant based at Ballard Estate and Kamala Mills – it’s USP is that the menu changes every day! Chef Darius was conducting a workshop at Kala Ghoda with many avid listeners enthusiastically noting down his recipes and cooking tips.

The art installations at KGAF are one of the biggest draws of the festival. This year, in keeping with the theme of the KGAF, ‘If Wishes Were Horses’, there was an interesting installation put by the students of St. Marys School (ICSE). Titled ‘Dreamatorium – A Magical Octohorse’, the children imagined a golden horse that has tentacles which do the work while the horse can rest. Amongst the group of 45 boys who envisioned and executed this work of art, were three young Parsi lads Ayaan Dalal, Darian Dalal and Pezan Hiramanek who excitedly contributed through the entire creative process.

Sanaeya Vandrewala (yellow top) conducting Heritage Walks

Heritage walks:

Ever wondered why the area near Churchgate Station is called Fort? Well, Sanaeya Vandrewala explains all this and much more about the history of Mumbai when you join her on one of the heritage walks she conducts during the course of the KGAF. A Conservation Architect with ‘Abha and Lambah and Associates’ by profession, she has been part of the KGAF for the past six years. “Being born and brought up in Mumbai, I find it very interesting to learn the history and facts about the city. Also, being a conservation architect, I love explaining the different detailing of the architecture and carvings in our heritage buildings. Often while doing research, I come across unknown facts, drawing linkages to other facets of history.” Sanaeya takes her responsibility very seriously, “I do thorough research as I do not wish to ever pass on any erroneous information. These walks are about educating the people and making them understand the rich history of the city.”

The ‘Rare Thoughts’ Stall with Rustom Gowadia

You would be forgiven for thinking that Rustom Dara Gowadia’s stall at the KGAF, Rare Thoughts, was part of the art installations. His creations are indeed visual bursts of creativity. What’s most amazing is despite his pieces being highly creative works of art, they provide practical / functional usage as well! Amalgamated from scrap metal and wood, Rustom and his rare works are now almost a fixture at KGAF. Going by the number of pieces that have already been sold, Rustom is one artist whose popularity will never wane! Rustom says, “We have been a part of KGAF since its inception. I find the customers here very nice and they are quite interested in how the pieces are made as well. I am a part of designing and execution of every piece in Rare Thoughts.”

The WFA stall with Taronish Bulsara

Another stall that draws good footfall is Taronish Bulsara’s NGO that works for the welfare of street dogs – WFA or ‘World For All’. The stall offers animal-based merchandise that promotes the cause and helps raise funds for various animal welfare programmes. “At the Kala Ghoda Fest, we wish to create greater awareness about various causes and programmes related to street dogs”, said Taronish.

One thought on “Parsis at The Kala Ghoda Fest!”

  1. Thank you so much for revIving old memories.KalaGhoda was my regular way to school Fort Convent and later ,the famous Apollo Binder where we used to come in the evenings with our kids.What particularly drew my attention was the image of the Clock Tower at the entrance of Bazargate Street where I lived for the first four decades of my life,just opposite to the tower itself.I am now old,retired and residing in developing.Thank you once again.

Jay-Z Performs For 6 Hours Straight At the Pace Gallery in NYC [Vine Videos]

Arielle Cruz

by Arielle Cruz

Published July 10, 2013

Jay-Z's media-dominating campaign is consistently making him top news. The latest event on Jay-Z's calendar started a few hours ago at the Pace Gallery in NYC, where Jay-Z began to rap one of his new songs "Picasso Baby" off of Magna Carta Holy Grail for six hours straight. The complete footage compiled from the performance will be turned into a music video for the song.

This video is most likely the first of six "pieces of art" that Jay-Z promised over Twitter Monday.

What will the other five pieces be? We'll just have to wait and find out. I feel oddly like Charlie Bucket.

Watch the Vines captured from the Gallery performance below. See if you can catch a glimpse of other stars who were in the audience. (Hint: Look for Judd Apatow, Adam Driver and Wale, just to name a few)

Below, he raps to one of the grandmothers of performance art, Marina Abramovic. Click the top left of each of the videos to hear the audio.

Thu Sep 11 2003:

Version 0.0.3 released; Changes include: autoconf update, documentation update, some code bug fixes.

libshbuf implements a new kind of IPC: the "shared buffer", a faster, more flexible replacement for standard Unix FIFOs. It offers the following advantages:

The implementation is based on SysV shared memory, semaphores and message queues. It makes use of POSIX pthreads.

Both an easy understandable C library and a basic Python module are provided.

Version 0.0.3 is stable and feature complete.

The concept of "shared buffers" is explicitly designed for high thoughput, low latency streaming of data (e.g. audio) between two processes, where a Unix FIFO is not enough. Thus it is optimized for exactly two connecting peers, a minimum of locking and minimum of copying of memory.

Technical Design

For each shared buffer two shared memory blocks, a semaphore and a messages queue are created. The first shared memory block (aka "control memory block") contains some watermark information about the shared buffer. The second contains the buffer itself. The semaphore is used for locking access to the control block. The message queue is used for signalling the other side on changes of the buffer.

A shared buffer provider is a process which creates it with with shbuf_create(). A new key for it will be registered (the key is an integer value, the key_t of the control shm). A shared buffer client is the other side of the buffer: it opens an existing buffer with shbuf_open(key). Only one client and one provider may be connected at once.

When using the notifying feature of libshbuf a background thread is started, which listens on the message queue for certain messages. It forwards these messages to a classic FIFO. The main program may listen on this FIFO with a standard select() or poll().

See src/shbuftest.c for a simple example.

API Reference

There is a Doxygen generated API reference available.

Python Module

I wrote a basic shbuf module for interfacing shbuf objects from within Python. It is called python-shbuf.

libshbuf was developed and tested on Debian GNU/Linux "testing" from September 2003, it should work on most other Linux distributions and may be POSIX implementations since it uses GNU autoconf for source code configuration.

As this package is made with the GNU autotools you should run ./configure inside the distribution directory for configuring the source tree. After that you should run make for compilation and make install (as root) for installation of libshbuf.

Thanks go to Sam Clegg for some work, especially related to the build system.

The newest release is always available from

The current release is 0.0.3

Get libshbuf's development sources from the CVS repository.

There is a Sourceforge project page for libshbuf

HOLY SMOKES! NEARLY 90,000 CRIMINAL ILLEGALS Set Free On The Streets Of America

No kidding! The lax efforts to apprehend illegals and illegal criminals is maddening! Our streets and towns are not safe with these criminals roaming around. Lock and load!

Some 88,277 illegal aliens officially classified as “criminal threats” were released without being deported in 2015, official statistics from the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have shown.

Internal ICE figures show that in 2015, ICE detained 152,393 illegal immigrants labeled a criminal threat, but only charged 64,116.

All the rest were not processed for deportation, according to the Center for Immigration Studies’ Jessica Vaughan. The numbers are even worse for those who ICE asks local police and sheriffs to detain but never collect.

In terms of the Obama administration’s “Priority Enforcement Program,” officials work with local police to arrest and deport criminal immigrants.

In reality, that amounts to a phone call from ICE requesting local authorities hold the suspect for 48 hours after they have been arranged to be released.

According to the Washington Examiner, sheriffs from around the country say that just 35–40 percent of those held are ever seized by ICE, even after they’ve been released.

Richard W. Stanek, sheriff of Hennepin County in Minneapolis, said he had 75 illegals ICE wanted, but the agency only picked up about 35 percent. “And these are people that they want,” he told the Washington Examiner.

Susan Benton, sheriff of Florida’s Highlands County, said, “mine would be much, much lower.” Worse, she added, many are seized and sent to a federal facility in Miami and immediately released and return to her county.

Benton said she wants to help ICE and hold illegal immigrants longer, but can’t legally. Often the result is more crime from the suspects and questions about why her department’s jail frees them.

The Game Invincible Tiger and 3D TV Support

August 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Stereo 3D Games

Some time ago I’ve written about a few interesting and upcoming games with Stereoscopic 3D support and Invincible Tiger was among them and now the game is already available, unfortunately only for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles. Still the good thing about it is that it not only comes with anaglyph mode, but also with shutter and polarized glasses support and not only that, but the official website does come with a lot of information on the topic. Besides an S3D trailer in anaglyph mode and game some screenshots, also in anaglyph you can find a support page with a lot of information on S3D support in the game and even what monitors and TVs work with which version of the game. The page even mentions 3D Vision, but then again it is not very clear of and how the game supports that with a compatible TV, because the 120Hz Samsung and Viewsonic monitors are marked as not compatible. We can just hope that in the near future more game developers will not only add S3D support int heir games, but will also offer enough information along with it… and that they will push it not only for console, but also for PC gamers. If you purchase the game for Xbox 360 or PS3 you can also fill a form on the game website and get 2 free pairs of anaglyph glasses as a bonus, so even if you don’t have a 3D compatible TV you’ll still be able to enjoy the game in S3D analyph on a normal TV, which, although has some drawbacks is still fun. ;)

James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game HD Trailer

August 22nd, 2009 · 3 Comments · Stereo 3D Games

After the official movie trailer now comes the game trailer too, this one if for the Xbox 360 version, but the PC version should not be very different than what you see above. It certainly looks very promising, especially for all the S3D fans out there expecting to be able to play the game with their Stereoscopic 3D setups, but it seems that you should not get too exited yet. I’ve found out an interesting bit of information in Joystiq’s first hand impressions:

Ubisoft compares Avatar’s 3-D display option (not available in the PC version; HDMI required) to digital surround sound. It enhances the gameplay experience, but isn’t required — good thing, since chances are you don’t own a 3-D stereoscopic television. Of course, Ubisoft does have a few of the newfangled sets in its possession and sat me down in front of one, passing over a pair of 3-D glasses (also required, but not bundled with the game) as a developer plodded through a few short in-game scenarios. The immediate 3-D effect is exciting — it’s both retro and futuristic — but by the end of the preview, I did feel a tinge of dizziness. It’s not so much that the game is constantly propelling objects out of the screen than it is creating layers in the environment that your character appears to be ever progressing into.

And so it seems all the PC users won’t be getting Stereo 3D support for the game, WTF? The S3D option will be available only for console users (Xbox 360 and PS3) that also have a 3D compatible TV set and nobody else, this is plain stupidity if you ask me, because the S3D PC community is much, much bigger and more prepared and experienced in terms of S3D. So who is to blame this time, Ubisoft or James Cameron, or… we all had high hopes for James Cameron’s Avatar: The Game, but in the end it might just turn out to be a big disappointment. Still if the game has been designed to be Stereoscopic 3D compatible (the PC version I mean) we should be able to get good results when playing with Nvidia’s GeForce 3D Vision setups at least, but who knows… we have to wait and see how things will turn out.

You can get the full game Avatar here if you don’t have it yet…

More than just The Islanders

Here is the video from the Ed Mangano "celebratory" post vote.
Hear what he has to say and then read what the Colony Diner owner has to say.

You may or may not see more of these articles in the coming weeks by various outlets.  This one comes via a site.  (You know, that thing that all of a sudden we can't live without because now we find out more about our own towns than we would if we sat in Starbucks all day long chatting up the local Barrista. Yeah, that.)

The story of the Colony Diner owner is one that can be repeated up and down Hempstead Turnpike and down the side streets of Uniondale and the surrounding area.  The Coliseum business BRINGS business.  It is GOOD for the local economy.  Without it, the entire area will suffer.

These are small business people trying to scratch out a living in one of the most expensive areas in the country.  In David Reich-Hale's story of George Strifas, owner of the colony diner, he talks of being a Nassau resident who will be asked to pay an additional estimated $40 a year in his taxes in order to get the $400 million referendum passed.  His answer?  "Come on man. I went to Carvel the other night and it cost us $18."

Let's go on the high side of the estimate.  Let's hit a proposed $56 yearly tax hike for property owners.  That's $4.66 per month or $1.07 a week the county is asking property owners to pay in order to keep the Coliseum and it's main tenant, the NY Islanders on Long Island.

That $56 per year will mean that you will NOT have to pay to see a concert at Madison Square Garden where it will cost more than that in gas or trains just to get there.  Personally, I dislike MSG so much, I actually have gone all the way to Boston to see a show rather than see it in Manhattan.  It was just as much to drive to Boston and spend a night in a hotel than to pay for tickets at MSG and the cost of getting there.

This is not just about being an Islander fan.  This is about a local economy that is already struggling that will see a significant downturn if this is not completed.

A very good point Dee. The reality is that if say the tax increase is $48 per year I believe this come to a mere 13cents a day. The long term benefits outweigh the tax increase. This is an absolute no brainer to vote yes as a nassau resident in favor of a new world class state of the art arena for the benefit of long islanders. would you please keep us all posted on any rallies or events that will be occuring so we can show our support. An excellent article as always

Saints Face Rams In Preseason For First Time In 46 Years – VIDEO

(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)

The New Orleans Saints will open up their 2014 preseason schedule on Friday night, when they travel to St. Louis, Missouri, to take on the St. Louis Rams.

Most people know that the Saints played their very first regular season game against the Rams, a match-up which took place back on September 17, 1967.

In that game, John Gilliam returned returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown for the Saints, sending the fans into a frenzy, before the Rams went on to win, 27-13.

What a lot of people don’t know is that the Saints also played their very first preseason game against the Rams.

In that game, played back on August 2, 1967, in Anaheim, California, the Rams won, 16-7, before the Saints won their final five preseason games, to finish 5-1 in the preseason in their first year of existence.

The two teams also opened against each other in the 1968 preseason, a game which the Rams won, 21-7.

As it turns out, that was the last time the two teams met in the preseason, as both franchises were not only a part of the same conference, but also division rivals for many years after that.

From 1970-1994, the Saints and the Los Angeles Rams were both members of the NFC West, and then after the Rams moved to St. Louis in 1995 the two franchises continued to be part of the NFC West, until 2002, when the Rams stayed in the NFC West, while the Saints became part of the newly-formed NFC South.

During the regular season, the Rams hold the all-time lead in the series, 40-32, and have outscored the Saints, 1,631-1,469.

The two franchises have played many memorable games, and we’ll look at a few of them in the coming days, including a heartbreaking loss for the Saints in the 1981 regular season finale, and an exciting playoff win in 2000, the first-ever postseason win for the franchise.

First, since the Saints are playing their first-ever opponent, in both the preseason and the regular season, let’s go back to 1967, and take a look at the beginning for the New Orleans Saints:

The cables have capacitance to ground and to adjacent wires, so keeping the overall impedance of the wires low helps to maintain the full swings.
When the car designers look at the path of a signal, they consider all the effects that will effect this signal integrity.
One common approach, that is used heavily in the Insight is to use open collector driver transistors on the sending module, and a pull up resistor that can get the required rise time on the receiving side to pull the line high when the transistor turns off.
This resistor on the MCM MAMODE line was sized for the normal range of line capacitance expected in the car. The speed the resistor can pull the line high is directly related to how much capacitance there is between this wire and its neighbors over the entire length of the cable. Longer cable more capacitance, and as many will remember from basic electronics, capacitors store energy, so the low condition on this wire will act like a discharged capacitor. when it wants to pull high, the transistor turns off, and the resistors job is to as rapidly as possible charge the capacitor, as it pulls the line towards 5V. The MIMA cables add some capacitance to this signal path, and therefore it cannot charge to 5V as rapidly as the stock harness can. I know that earlier MIMA systems did not have problems with this, and I suspect that the cables we used then were of higher quality than the ones available now.
Almost all of the older style DB 25 and centronics cables are being made in China.
The only way tot be sure a cable will work is to buy and test many cables from many sources,I decided it would be better to simply add the 4 cent additional pull up resistor, and make the cable capacitance sensitivity issue go away.

Control Strategies in HTN Planning: Theory Versus Practice

Dana S. Nau, University of Maryland; Stephen J. J. Smith, Hood College; Kutluhan Erol, Intelligent Automation Inc.

AI planning techniques are beginning to find use in a number of practical planning domains. However, the backward-chaining and partial-order-planning control strategies traditionally used in AI planning systems are not necessarily the best ones to use for practical planning problems. In this paper, we discuss some of the difficulties that can result from the use of backward chaining and partial-order planning, and we describe how these difficulties can be overcome by adapting Hierarchical Task-Network (HTN) planning to use a total-order control strategy that generates the steps of a plan in the same order that those steps will be executed. We also examine how introducing the total-order restriction into HTN planning affects its expressive power, and propose a way to relax the total-order restriction to increase its expressive power and range of applicability.

Islamic men from Cary drive 10 hours to honor Ali

EMBED </>More News Videos

A group of Islamic men from the Triangle went to Louisville for the service for Muhammad Ali.

Among the thousands who descended on Louisville, Kentucky, on Thursday for the traditional Muslim prayer service in honor of Muhammad Ali, was a group of Islamic men from the Triangle who drove all night to be a part of the occasion.

"This is one of the best days of my U.S. life," said Murat Kose who lives in Cary with his wife and five children. Kose is a chemical engineer who does a lot of non-profit advocacy work for Islamic immigrants.

But when Kose arrived in the United States from Turkey 20 years ago, there was one American he admired most: Muhammad Ali.

It was Kose's admiration of Ali that moved him to gather five friends from the Triangle and drive to Louisville on Wednesday night. It took them 10 hours to get there; just in time for Thursday's Islamic prayer service.

Kose posed for a picture outside Louisville's Freedom Center, then joined the 14,000 people of all faiths that were packed inside.

In between the pictures, Kose was close enough to snap pictures of Ali's casket as it was wheeled into the hall.

And Thursday evening, as he and his friends drove back to the Triangle, they shared their experience with ABC 11 via Facetime.

"This was the largest Muslim prayer service I have seen in the United States so far. It was an amazing feeling," Kose said.

Kose recalled growing up in Turkey, watching Ali boxing matches in awe -- not just admiring Ali's greatness in the ring but the fact it was a fellow Muslim held in such high regard. Ali was not simply a champion to Kose. He was an Islamic hero.

"It was like every kids dream to meet or to become something like him," Kose said.

Joining Kose in the car from Cary to Louisville was Adem Kaya. He's a former Turkish world champion wrestler who went on to coach at UNC Chapel Hill. Kaya said he used the boxer's death to introduce Ali's legacy to his students.

"(I) told them about what he did for minorities back then; fighting for freedom, fighting for race, and against racism. He was very inspiring," Kaya said. "Being an athlete, I needed to be at this funeral."

And while Kose got to rub elbows with boxing royalty at the service, he says what he'll remember most, was celebrating his faith and his hero on such a giant stage.

"I felt like it was something Muhammad Ali would love," Kose said. "Because he always loved to bring people together."

Fracking: Central Valley boom or environmental nightmare?

California is preparing for a possible energy boom and the Central Valley is poised to play a major role.
December 3, 2013 4:55:14 PM PST
California is preparing for a possible energy boom and the Central Valley is poised to play a major role.

Huge deposits of natural gas and oil could be unearthed by the process known as fracking, but it comes with loud criticism from environmental concerns.

The key to ending America's reliance on oil from the Middle East lies right underneath the Central Valley, according to the oil & gas industry.

The U.S. Energy Department says a 1750-mile swath of underground shale rock -- known as the Monterey Shale Formation -- contains more than 15 billion barrels of oil.

"If we do get to it and get it to the marketplace, California will be part of energy independence for North America," said Assm. Jim Patterson, Fresno.

Patterson hosted a forum Tuesday touting a potential energy renaissance for California. But the method of releasing all that energy is getting drilled by environmentalists.

The oil and natural gas are locked in rock thousands of feet underground, way below the water table, and a high-tech operation known as fracking removes it.

It involves injecting tens of thousands of gallons of water and chemicals into the rock at high pressures. And although the resulting fuel is cheap and much cleaner than coal, environmentalists say fracking is dangerous.

"We need a moratorium now to protect our groundwater, our wells in Fresno, against possible contamination," said the Sierra Club's Gary Lasky. "It's not worth the risk."

Lasky is concerned the chemicals used in fracking -- including carcinogens like toluene and benzene -- will taint the water we drink. But supporters say it's an overblown concern.

"Despite all the hype, the Obama administration looked very hard, the EPA has looked very hard for groundwater contamination and there just isn't any," said Brigham McCown, a former Dept. of Transportation official in the George W. Bush administration.

Researchers have found methane gas in some wells near fracking operations, and the EPA is now conducting its first comprehensive national study.

In the meantime, California is moving forward with development that could create two million new jobs by some estimates.

"I think it's a great opportunity, but we have to do it right, we have to do it safely," Patterson said.

Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill placing regulations on new fracking operations starting on January 1. Legislators are still tweaking the rules, but Patterson expects major new projects by 2015.

DreamWorks buying AwesomenessTV for about $33M

The logo for YouTube's teen network, AwesomenessTV, is shown in this undated file photo.

May 2, 2013 12:00:00 AM PDT
Dreamworks Animation is buying AwesomenessTV, a YouTube teen network, for about $33 million.

The deal, which is expected to close this month, could end up being worth as much as $117 million depending on how well AwesomenessTV does over the next two years.

The teen-oriented channel features talk shows, reality and scripted programs and sketch comedies. The company has released a movie with AMC Theaters and expects to have a television show on Nickelodeon.

Its network of more than 57,000 YouTube channels has 14.4 million subscribers. The more than 1 million videos on the network have been viewed 809 million times.

The announcement came a day after DreamWorks announced quarterly earnings that beat analysts' expectations on both revenue and profit, although both showed a decline.

Shares of DreamWorks, which is based in Glendale, were up $1.44, or 7.5 percent, to $20.72 in late trading Wednesday.

DNC looks for diversity in Charlotte

September 2, 2012 9:21:11 PM PDT
One of the biggest differences between what happened last week at the Republican convention and what will happen this week in Charlotte at the Democratic convention is the diversity among the delegates.

You can see it on the streets of downtown Charlotte. Delegates and other convention-goers of virtually every race with a noted increase in the number of Latinos.

"We have more minorities that are delegates that are Latino than ever before," said Rep. Linda Chapa Lavia (Ill.-D). "So you have a new surge, voters from the Latino population that want to get behind Barack."

Despite several high profile speakers last week in Tampa, minorities were a scarce commodity on the Republican convention floor.

"I think if you look at the floor of the Democratic convention you'll see America," said Cook County President Toni Preckwinkle. "I don't think you saw that on the floor of the Republican convention."

"They have pursued a state's rights, Fort Sumter, tea-party ideology that has made them much more narrow than is the nation," said Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Chicago AFL-CIO President Jorge Ramirez expects Democrats to celebrate organized labor, unlike Republican speakers who criticized unions.

"The only mentions of labor really were to talk about us as more of a hindrance to their platform and their politics," said Chicago Federation of Labor's Jorge Ramirez.

While Republicans used a different theme for each convention day, the Democrats use will one slogan: Americans Coming Together.

"When people come together and work together as a team, that's when our country works best," said Illinois Governor Pat Quinn. "There are folks in the other party that like to divide people and we're not going to let them do it."

The Democratic prime time speakers have been advised not to be as combative as the Republican speakers.

Layoff Nation: Job Losses Keep Coming

An estimated 524,000 Americans who had jobs at Thanksgiving were unemployed by the New Year, according to a report by the Department of Labor.

The U.S. economy has lost jobs for 12 consecutive months, at an alarming pace. Since September, on average, 483,000 jobs were lost per month, or as many as 16,000 a day.

The Department of Labor's announcement brought the job loss total to 2.6 million in 2008. Unemployment levels rose to 7.2 percent, the highest since January 1993.

The losses make 2008 the worst year for layoffs since the end of World War II, when 2.75 million jobs were lost (that shrinkage was not owing so much to an economic slump, however, as to the exit of workers temporarily employed in war-related jobs). The December losses also show an accelerating number of layoffs in recent months, leaving the prospect for workers in 2009 that much more grim.

Lost Your Job or Worried About Losing It? Share Your Story With ABC News

Boeing became the latest corporate giant to cut jobs, announcing Friday that 4,500 Boeing workers will lose their jobs in 2009.

"We could quite possibly see unemployment close to 9 percent or even double digits by the end of the year," said Heather Boushey, an economist at the Center for American Progress.

Around the country, state unemployment offices have been overwhelmed by the growing volume of new claims.

Mike Stabrawa, 53, filed for unemployment for the first time in his life when the paper plant he worked at for 35 years permanently shut down in December.

"Everything was working smoothly until about three weeks ago," Stabrawa said. "It's the first time I've been without a job in my entire life. So that's the biggest thing about it. I want to work. I want to be a working guy."

The beleaguered manufacturing industry lost nearly 150,000 jobs last month. But the pain is limited to one sector. Unemployment is rising among all kinds of workers, including college graduates, who are usually spared.

"I have to say I think on every front this is the worst recession I have ever seen," said Trudy Steinfeld, executive director of the New York University Career Placement Center.

Steinfeld says that she has seen fewer recruiters, and employers have made fewer offers than in years past to graduating students.

Investors Look Toward Obama for Resolution

The government says that more than 11 million Americans are now unemployed. And another 8 million are under-employed, working part-time because they cannot find full-time work. The pain is extraordinarily widespread.

"Many Americans are both anxious and uncertain of what the future will hold," President-elect Barack Obama said during a speech on the economy Wednesday.

And many investors on Wall Street look toward Obama to see how exactly his proposed stimulus plan "will save or create at least 3 million jobs over the next few years," as he says.

How he will do that is not yet clear. Obama said he plans to invest in energy, education, health care and new infrastructure.

"We will put Americans to work in new jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced -- jobs building solar panels and wind turbines; constructing fuel-efficient cars and buildings and developing the new energy technologies that will lead to even more jobs, more savings and a cleaner, safer planet in the bargain," Obama said Wednesday.

But, in the meantime, a growing number of Americans are collecting unemployment and desperately searching for new jobs, ones that pay close to what they used to make.

Beyond that, fear of layoffs is taking its own toll on the economy. Some workers who still draw a weekly paycheck are cutting back on their spending for fear of losing their job down their road. While they might be saving for that rainy day, their lack of spending is driving the country deeper into a recession and putting their own jobs in jeopardy.

Biggest Layoffs of 2008

The biggest layoff announcements of the past 12 months, provided to ABC News by outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas, crossed all sectors. While some of these have already been reflected in the government data, others will be phased in during the next few months.

The financial sector has been hit particularly hard in this recession as bad investments and risky loans have come a cropper. Banking giant Citigroup had more layoffs than any other company in 2008, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas, first with a 9,000-job cut announced in April and then another 50,000 jobs eliminated right before Thanksgiving.

It would be an understatement to say that 2008 was a bad year for U.S. automakers who had to turn to the government to bail them out for the time being. First, record-high gas prices drove consumers away from large SUVs and trucks that had been the bread and butter of the automakers for years. Then, banks started to cut off credit to consumers, making car loans harder and harder to come by. As part of its efforts to try and remain profitable, GM in May announced the layoff of 19,000 hourly workers.

Retailers had a particularly hard Christmas as consumers cut back on their spending. But even before the holiday shopping spree, KB Toys, with 275 stores in malls and nearly another 200 temporary and outlet stores, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. It was the second filing in four years for the company. As the toy store company goes out of business, 15,000 workers will lose their jobs.

Restaurants to American Airlines

Things weren't so great in the restaurant business this year, either. Americans struggling with rising mortgages and high gas prices cut back on the number of times they ate out. One of the casualties was Bennigan's, which, filed for bankruptcy in July, closing all the company-owned restaurants. About 9,300 people lost their jobs.

Even rocket scientists aren't immune from the bad economy. Faced with budget cutbacks, NASA announced in June that 7,000 employees at the space agency would lose their jobs.

High oil prices also took their toll on the airline industry. Airlines were forced to slash routes and ground older, gas-guzzling planes. With fewer flights, they needed fewer employees. In July, American Airlines announced 7,000 layoffs.

Investment Firms to Starbucks

This was not the year to be in the upscale coffee market. Starbucks, facing competition from lower-cost companies, such as Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald's, announced in July it was closing 600 under-performing, company-owned stores and cutting U.S. expansion plans amid concerns about America's slowing economy. As part of those store closings, 12,000 jobs were lost.

Shock waves spread throughout the financial world when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy Sept. 15, the largest bankruptcy in U.S. history. British bank Barclays purchased Lehman's North American investment-banking and trading divisions, saving some jobs. But an estimated 16,000 people still lost their jobs in Lehman's collapse.

Alcoa, the largest U.S. aluminum producer, announced last week it will fire 13,500 employees in response to shrinking demand for aluminum. Basically, in this global recession, there is less need for aluminum as fewer people buy cars, appliances and other products that use the lightweight metal.

Banks to Electronics Stores

The largest bank failure of the year came when too many bad loans finally caught up with Washington Mutual, the nation's largest thrift. JP Morgan Chase purchased the bank for $1.9 billion. In December, JP Morgan announced the elimination of 9,200 jobs related to the WaMu acquisition. Another 9,160 jobs were cut in May by JP Morgan in connection to its acquisition of failed investment bank Bear Stearns.

In the past few years, consumers have flocked to electronics stores to buy new high-definition televisions, DVD players, digital cameras and all sorts of other electronics. Those purchases waned as the recession grew deeper, pushing struggling Circuit City over the edge. In November, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The move came a week after the retailer announced it was closing about 155 Circuit City stores. As part of the store closings, 7,305 jobs were cut.

AT&T to Delivery

Things aren't too good, either, for the country's largest telecommunications company, AT&T. If businesses are shutting their doors, they don't need phones. In December, AT&T said it was eliminating 12,000 jobs because of tough market conditions.

With less business out there, there are fewer packages being shipped. In May, DHL's German parent company announced plans to cut costs in its U.S. express delivery business by hiring UPS to handle North American air cargo transportation. The change meant 6,800 jobs would be cut.

'I'll Take Anything' Attitude Can Backfire

I've spent the last several weeks traveling throughout the country for my company's career expos. These are one-day events that enable professional women in all fields to connect face-to-face with top employers.

By and large I'm always very impressed with the people I meet. They've got stellar work history and solid academic credentials. But that doesn't always mean they know how to present themselves when seeking new opportunities.

Although I run into many women who carry themselves with great confidence, more often than not I'm drawn to women who appear nervous and fidgety. I discovered years ago that those behavioral traits don't necessarily mean that a woman is any less qualified in terms of knowledge, skills and experience than her peers who are perfectly poised.

Just because you're good at what you've been trained to do in your chosen profession, doesn't mean you're good at the job search process. The biggest pitfall is the "I'll take anything" syndrome. It's an equal opportunity offender across gender, education, ethnicity and experience.

Candidates whose searches for employment are taking longer than they would have hoped find themselves lowering their standards. Women, especially, will reveal their sense of panic by approaching recruiters and saying, "I'm willing to consider any positions you might have available right now. I'd be happy to take anything. I just need a job."

When I ask these candidates to explain their rationale for using such opening lines -- whether I'm in Chicago, Altanta, Tampa, Fla., New York or Washington, D.C. -- they tell me they're at their wits end and really do just need a job. Their bills are piling up, their rent is overdue, and their credit cards are maxed out. I can relate; I've been there too.

They truly believe they're coming across as flexible and accommodating. They think it's a good thing that they're willing to do anything an employer might ask. And on the surface, that makes sense. It sounds akin to a team player -- someone who's willing to pitch in and help out as needed.

However, in the hiring process, that "I'll take anything" attitude tends to backfire. Candidates are often seen as desperate and unfocused. And nobody wants to make a sympathy hire nor do they want to hire someone with all sorts of baggage that may impact their performance.

To these people -- and to the new crop of college seniors who are nearing graduation -- I say dare to be picky. Be willing to define who you are, what you offer and what you seek. In a competitive job market, it's perfectly acceptable to pursue multiple positions simultaneously. You can have diverse interests that could take you in a number of directions. But when you're facing an employer -- or any valuable networking contact -- it's important to exude a sense of focus and desire.

In the next month, my travels will take me to Los Angeles, San Diego, Boston, Dallas and Houston. My greatest hope for the people I'm sure to meet is that they mask any sense of panic or desperation. Just by standing tall and confidently sharing their professional hopes and desires, they'll separate themselves from their competitors who lose out on great opportunities because they lack that simple vision that helps pave the way to success.

Review: No Comfort for the Lost by Nancy Herriman

Title: No Comfort for the Lost
Author: Nancy Herriman
Format: Paperback
Publisher: NAL
Publish Date: August 4, 2015 (Yesterday!)
Source: I received a copy from the publisher; however, this did not affect my review.

What's the Story?:

From "After serving as a nurse in the Crimea, British-born Celia Davies left her privileged family for an impulsive marriage to a handsome Irishman. Patrick brought her to San Francisco’s bustling shores but then disappeared and is now presumed dead.  Determined to carry on, Celia partnered with her half-Chinese cousin Barbara and her opinionated housekeeper Addie to open a free medical clinic for women who have nowhere else to turn. But Celia’s carefully constructed peace crumbles when one of her Chinese patients is found brutally murdered…and Celia’s hotheaded brother-in-law stands accused of the crime.

A veteran of America’s civil war, detective Nicholas Greaves is intent on discovering the killer of the girl, whose ethnicity and gender render her as powerless in death as they did in life. Nicholas’s efforts are complicated by Celia, who has a knack for walking into dangerous situations that may lead to answers…or get them both killed.  For as their inquiries take them from Chinatown’s squalid back alleys to the Barbary Coast’s violent shipping docks to the city’s gilded parlors, Celia and Nicholas begin to suspect that someone very close to them holds the key to a murderous conspiracy…"

My Two Cents:

"No Comfort for the Lost" is a historical mystery set in San Francisco during a time when there was a lot of racial tension between white people and Chinese people. There was a lot of distrust between the various groups that called San Francisco their home. Our heroine, Celia, knows that the Chinese need medical care so she uses her expertise to help where few of her race and sex venture to go. Celia finds herself trying to solve the murder of a Chinese woman that she cared for. If no one else will do it, she feels that it is up to her. Celia is definitely my kind of character! She is so independent and sharp! Alongside Nick, a detective, Celia will discover that nothing is ever clear cut and few things are the way you expect them to be!

I really like this book because there were so many twists and turns and it kept me guessing. I don't read a lot of mysteries but when I do I like for them to keep me on my toes and keep me second-guessing what I think is going on. This book did that from page to page. I had to keep reading with a sense of urgency because of the mystery at hand!

I also really liked the historical setting of the book. San Francisco is an incredibly interesting city with a lot of history. I like that the author took on the city it during a time where it was so greatly divided. The author uses a lot of good detail that drew me into the story and helped me to understand what the world was like for the characters. The city itself makes for a lot of interesting interactions with the various characters. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to those looking for great characters and a mystery that will keep you on your feet.
