A Brief History of Vans Clothing
From cult status to international acclaim
Vans clothing was first designed for those who love to skate, but it wasn't long before the whole world realised just how cool the brand was. Now people the world over wear Vans clothing for both fashion and sportswear.
The brand first opened up in 1966, and by the mid-1970s, their shoes were the most popular choice for skaters. It was the tacky rubber sole that made them so good for gripping a skateboard. Word spread quickly, and before long, Vans began to branch out, and produced shoes and Vans clothing for other sports, such as motor cross and surfing.
The brand has been such a success, it was recently voted as one of the USA's best small companies, and is well loved by those who wear it.
The Extreme Sports Star's Choice
The range is now huge, and alternative sports stars from all over the planet wear Vans clothing, whether it be on a skateboard, BMX or snowboard. Vans clothing is known for being effortlessly cool, while maintaining all of the design qualities needed to be used as sportswear. You can be confident that if you choose to wear Vans clothing, you won't be let down.Vans clothing includes all of the following:
- T-shirts
- Hats
- Caps
- Bags
- Hoodies
- Sunglasses
It's no surprise that stars such as Kristen Stewart have been spotted wearing Vans clothing – everyone wants to get that casual but sporty look. The clothing is not difficult to wear either – pull on a hoodie and some jeans and you're ready to go.
Shop Online for Vans Clothing
You can find a great selection of Vans clothing online at Footasylum. They stock products for men and women, including; t-shirts, hats, caps, bags, sunglasses and much more. If you're looking for clothing that's built for action and looks good too, then Vans clothing is ideal.

The Brazen Racing Summit Rock run was another great Brazen event at Sanborn County park in the hills above Saratoga. I ran at this gorgeous venue in June at the Trail Quake event and couldn't resist running these lushly forested trails one more time this year. The course is different than the Trail Quake event as it is a pure out-and-back with a couple extra climbs thrown in along the Summit Rock Loop. It was a solid effort for me and I felt good throughout finishing in 1:31:47.
It was another beautiful December day with crisp conditions pre-race but very comfortable once the run got going with warm sunshine piercing the redwood forest. The San Andreas trail switchbacking up to Skyline is lovely mix of redwoods, douglas fir and madrone. There was a thick coat of needles and leaves on the trail providing an ultra cushioned surface and a very autumn feel which is not always manifested in coastal California. Once atop Skyline Ridge, there was copious branch debris on the trail from recent winds and a few trees down, but thankfully not too much of an encumbrance. The turnaround was on the single track just past the dirt parking lot for the Summit Rock Loop. Once I crested the hill out of the Summit Rock Loop I knew it was largely downhill and I got into a great rhythm on the Skyline Trail. The descent through Sanborn Park back to the finish area was interesting with tight switchbacks and runners from the shorter events to pass but it seemed like everybody was enjoying the morning on the beautiful trails. Congrats to all the participants!
As usual, Brazen Racing did a fantastic job organizing the event, including superb course marking, awesome volunteers, great photography of all the participants, a tasty spread at the finish area, and a super cool shirt design with an eagle on the front and back. Thanks to the organizers and volunteers for a super fun morning at Sanborn Park!

Top of the page
Health problems like cancer or heart disease and mental health problems like substance use disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have an emotional side. And the same is true for certain life events, like being a parent or caring for someone who has a chronic illness. Your life changes. And you may need a shoulder to cry on or someone to talk to. You may need a ride to the doctor or a night out. You need support.
Support takes many forms. You can find support in seminars and groups led by professionals, in groups of others who have the same problem, and in your relationships with family and friends.
If you have a support network, you will not feel as alone. You'll learn new ways to deal with your problem, and you may try harder to overcome it. Social support can play an important role in recovery.
Self-help and support groups can be very helpful for some people. These groups usually consist of people with similar problems who meet to give support, practical advice, and encouragement to the people who participate in the group.
Self-help and support groups are different from counselling sessions. These groups may last for only a few sessions or they may be ongoing.
Self-help and support groups:
Joining a self-help or support group does not take the place of counselling. Some people who attend these groups also need to participate in regular counselling sessions with a health professional.
Self-help or support groups are not for everyone. Some people feel uncomfortable talking in a group. Attend a group meeting at least three times before you choose not to go back. Then you can make a better decision about whether taking part in a self-help or support group is good for you.
How to find a support group
Here are some ways to find support groups.
Look for a support group that works for you. Ask yourself if you prefer structure and would like a group leader, or if you'd like a less formal group. Do you prefer face-to-face meetings, or do you feel more secure in Internet chat rooms or forums?
Social support includes emotional support such as love, trust, and understanding, as well as advice and concrete help, such as help managing your time. Your family, friends, and community all can do this. They can make you feel cared about and feel good about yourself, and can give you hope.
You may get your social support from many people. You may play sports with one group of people, go to movies with another, and turn to family or friends to talk over problems.
You can look for support from:
Ask yourself where you get your social support. You may be able to forge a closer relationship with family members or friends. Maybe you know someone who you'd like to know better. You can join a club, or find a group of people with the same interests you have.
Improving social support
You may not have good social support. You may avoid other people. This may be because:
If you can improve your social support, it can help you deal with your condition. Here are some ways you can make your social support stronger:

A rich Manhattanite hires a male nanny for her 9-year-old son and gets more than she bargained for
The Manny. By Holly Peterson. Dial Press, 353 pp., $25
By Janice Harayda
The emaciated carcasses of Park Avenue socialites have been pretty well picked over by novelists. First Tom Wolfe satirized the women whom he called "lemon tarts" and "social X-rays" in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Then came a second generation of writers who cannibalized rich Manhattanites' lives for parts he spared. Candace Bushell took their sex lives in Four Blondes and other books, Nancy Lieberman their obsession with private schools in Admissions and – most memorably – Emma McLaughlin and Nicola Kraus their ruthlessness to their nannies in The Nanny Diaries.
To all of this Holly Peterson brings one new idea, at least for anybody who hasn't followed Britney Spears's fumbled attempts at child care: A status symbol for some mothers is a male nanny who takes boys to batting cages and basketball courts when their fathers can't get away from their high-flying jobs in law or finance. A while back, Peterson wrote a lively story about this for the New York Times that explained why she had hired men to care for her 3-year-old son. (It seems Jack wanted to sell his baby sister at the supermarket. "Just leave her on the shelf next to the Teddy Grahams, Mom," he proposed.) She now returns to male nannies in a glorified romance novel that's better beach reading than Danielle Steel but not nearly as good as The Nanny Diaries.
Jamie Whitfield, a 36-year-old television producer, hires a younger man to care for her 9-year-old son because her callow husband earns $1.5 million a year but doesn't seem to care that Dylan is suffering from "loss of self-esteem more than likely due to an absent dad. " Jamie has middle-class, Midwestern roots – she married "up" – and professes disdain for the "showy and vulgar" New Yorkers she meets at a museum benefit.
But she acts at times like as much of a snob as her friends. She scorns the clothes of a researcher for her TV show: "She was wearing one of her awful Ann Taylor suits from the last century – a cherry-red one." (She tells the woman, cruelly, "You look like an Avis car rental agent again.") One problem with the jab is that in some Heartland cities – whose values Jamie is supposed to stand for – Ann Taylor stores are the most stylish in town. (I was thrilled when Ann Taylor moved into the Galleria in Cleveland, where I worked after writing for Glamour – not because I didn't know you could find more fashionable clothes at Bendel's and Bergdorf's but because it offered an alternative to the Limited.) If Peterson wanted to pile more scorn on the suit, she could have done it more credibly with a reference to the lapels or fabric – it's the gratuitous brand name that's the tip-off to Jamie's snobbery.
The Nanny Diaries succeeded, in part, because McLaughlin and Kraus had worked for more than 30 families as nannies and their details consistently came across as fresh and authentic. Peterson achieves this only erratically. Just as important, McLaughlin and Kraus had control of their tone from the start and never let you forget whom you were supposed to identify with – the exploited young nanny. Peterson's tone is so uneven that she never establishes full sympathy for her heroine. The Manny says several times that Jamie's son has low "self-esteem." And because that phrase has been so overused that many journalists and others now avoid it, you might think the references are satirical. But they seem painfully earnest. The novel has the further burden of a pace that's slow for at least the first 150 pages, after which the plot elements begin to mesh and push the story along more briskly. Even then, there isn't much suspense about the question at the heart of the book: Will Jamie leave her indifferent husband for the manny who has charmed her young son?
Peterson seems to be trying to have it both ways – to suggest that Jamie has joined the uptown elite while remaining superior to it. The Manny reminds us that, in novels as in life, this is an act that only the most skilled can pull off.
Best line: Jamie talks about a show with network lawyer Geraldine Katz. "Geraldine once asked me how I could prove Michael Jackson really was the King of Pop."
Worst line: Any of Peterson's attempts to write a plausible sex scene. These are irreproducible on a site with many links from public libraries. But next time you're in a bookstore, check out the scene on page 167 that begins with "Now she was on her knees …" and ends with "like a fire hose in her expensive mouth." This is possibly the worst sex scene ever to appear in a novel excerpted by Newsweek, which has posted a portion of the book in its Web edition for June 17. The magazine does not include this scene in its excerpt in but uses a tamer passage for obvious reasons, including that excerpting this one could alienate a large portion of its subscription base.
The worst line not involving sex occurs when Jamie screams at her husband, "We're in the modern era, baby, you spoiled, Jurassic, archaic, Waspy piece of petrified wood!" Yes, this is a character we're supposed to like.
Reading group guide: A Totally Unauthorized Reading Group Guide to The Manny was posted on this site on June 26, 2007, in the post just before this review.
Editor: Susan Kamil
Published: June 2007
Furthermore: Peterson is a contributing editor of Newsweek.
Links: Peterson has a page on My Space (www.myspace.com/hollypetersonthemanny), but I'm having trouble getting the direct link to work from this site. You can find the page by going to www.myspace.com and searching "hollypetersonthemanny" (one word).
I can't seem to link to the excerpt in the online edition of Newsweek, either, but you can find it by Googling "The Manny + excerpt + Newsweek." You can find the same excerpt that appears in Newsweek on the publisher's site www.randomhouse.com/.

Questo impianto fotovoltaico è uno dei più grandi impianti a tetto della Svizzera e si trova presso il centro di distribuzione Migros Neuendorf. L'impianto è composto da 29737 moduli solari, installati su una superficie di 47679 m2.
Sun and water, the ultimate combination for renewable energy. Power generation on water – a fascinating idea! Floating Solar B.V. has almost completed a 23-megawatt PV plant which will be able to provide about 9,000 families with power.
Eco-energy in and from the hands of citizens: many people, especially in Germany, who are organized in cooperatives and who are committed to the energy turnaround and regional value creation follow this appealing concept.
The Big Five are at home here and many other species as well: the Thaba Tholo Game Farm in the South African province of Limpopo is a remarkable project in many respects.
Less noise, more clean energy: Noise barrier produces PV electricity.
The data logger selected was the energy management system from Solare Datensysteme GmbH, which in this case consists of a Solar-Log 2000 and the Solar-Log WEB Enerest™ online portal.
The Pfitscher winery is the first in Italy to receive KlimaHaus (CasaClima) certification. This means the Pfitschers' winery meets numerous requirements for environmental protection and climate-friendliness. They have environmentally friendly power generation from a photovoltaic plant and efficient energy management thanks to Solar-Log™.
Asunim Turkey, a project developer, EPC and O&M company, has selected global market leader, Solar-Log™, to monitor two solar PV plants currently under-construction in Akhisar and Kula.
Il più grande impianto FV sul tetto di una scuola in Australia è stato installato a Melbourne da Enervest.
Photovoltaic plants are already an integral part of energy production in many industrialized countries. This technology is only slowly establishing itself in the developing regions of the world. One of the first steps to provide electricity from renewable energy resources has been initiated by BIOHAUS-Stiftung from Willi Ernest with the project "Solar beats Diesel."
The PV Training Center was founded by ADLER Solar, a leading full service provider in the solar industry. The project has been implemented within the framework of the Renewable Energy Solutions Program that is coordinated by Deutsche Energie Agentur (dena).
Il monitoraggio dei quasi 100 moduli SunPower™, per una potenza totale di ~32 kWp, è affidato a un Solar-Log 1200 sul portale Solar-Log WEB Enerest™.
ECOsys, part of ITG (Holding) implement a solar photovoltaic system over two of its complexes. The project is fully executed, providing a total capacity of 266 kWp for the resort.
The Solar-Log™ can manage each CHP based on power needs instead of heat needs. This allows the CHP to be operated during the summer months when the power needs reach the threshold defined in the Solar-Log™.
Questo impianto fotovoltaico si trova a Bolesiny, nella Repubblica Ceca e ha una dimensione di 2,27 MWp.
This is the first commercial scale project for a distribution company in Lebanon, where 968 panels are installed over 2 separate roofs, covering electricity consumption of offices and warehouse areas, with a total capacity of 307 KWp. The system is expected to produce 320 megawatt-hours of energy yearly, with a CO2 saving of 225 tons/year.
The Solar-Log™ PM Box (EMS – Export Management System) provides additional options for the Solar-Log™ in regard to independent safety functions and compliance in the area of power management and feed-in limitation requirements. The ONIX spa in Kosovo benefits from this function.
ECOsys benefits from the feed-in management function of the Solar-Log™ to build an energy management system that regulates the performance of the PV system.

Let's face it; most of us aren't able to give iPads and laptops as holiday gifts every year. But hey, don't sweat it. If you have someone on your gift list that's always after the latest trends in technology, there's a good chance he or she already has those big-ticket items. What they really need are those smaller gadgets they'll likely never get around to buying for themselves.
The good news is there are plenty of cool tech gifts to snag at a reasonable price. Sure a $700 tablet is nice, but we've rounded up 10 awesome gadgets that slide in under the $50 mark.
Portable iPhone charger
$35 on UncommonGoods.com
For the friend who's constantly running around with a dead iPhone, a hip-looking portable iPhone charger is a great gift. Available in four different designs, simply plug the portable battery into an iPhone 3GS, 4, or 4S and voilà ; the phone will instantly have three more hours of battery life.
Cambridge SoundWorks Oontz Angle Bluetooth Speaker
$39.99 on Amazon.com
If you can't afford to buy the oh-so popular Jambox Bluetooth speaker this year, check out Cambridge SoundWorks' Oontz Angle Bluetooth speaker, which is $110 less than the Jambox. Available in a multitude of color choices, the Oontz Angle offers great battery life (up to 10 hours), built-in speakerphone capabilities and even comes with a carrying pouch. At around 10 ounces, the Oontz Angle is easy to take on the go and bust out for any impromptu dance parties or (less exciting) conference calls.
Google Chromecast
$35 on Google.com
At just $35, Google's Chromecast makes a great gift for that person in your life that's constantly watching TV shows and movies on tiny phone or laptop screens. The Chromecast is a dongle the size of a mini candy bar that plugs into a TV's HDMI slot, enabling the user to stream online videos and music using nearly all tablets, laptops, and smartphones. The Chromecast is compatible with iOS, Android, and Chrome for Mac and Windows. It supports Netflix, YouTube, Hulu Plus, Pandora and Google Play with more supported apps to come.
Fitbug Orb fitness tracker
$49.95 on Fitbug.com
Ideal for couch potatoes you want to motivate or that fitness-obsessed friend on your holiday shopping list, the Fitbug Orb is one of the least expensive fitness wearables around. The button-sized Orb, which can be worn on the included watchband or clipped to your clothing, tracks the user's steps, distance, calories burned, speed and sleep. The Orb syncs that info to user's mobile device and the gadget's KiK app, which will send messages of encouragement or an e-nudge to get off that couch. Using energy-sipping Bluetooth 4.0, the Orb is capable of going six months between charges.
Photojojo iPhone and Android Four-Lens Series
$49 on Photojojo
The cameras on most new smartphones are now superior to the point-and-shoot camera you got during the holidays two years ago.

Buy the lenses separately for $20 to $25 each.

Apples: The Not-So-Forbidden Fruit
Apple cider, apple juice, apple pie, applesauce, apple crisp, apple cake…the list goes on and on! The ubiquitous apple conjures up a number of images—the heralding of autumn, the most predictable food in the lunch bag, the comforting aromas of Thanksgiving pies, and a symbol that has become associated with health. Apples are so common that they are often taken for granted. However, whether you are an apple polisher, an apple eater, a bad apple, the apple of someone's eye, or as American as apple pie, there is still a lot to learn about this delicious, nutritious, and versatile fruit.
How Do You Like These Apples?
Apples are delicious, low in calories, portable, versatile, and inexpensive. They come in many shades of red, green, and yellow, making them just as pleasing to the eye as to the palate.
Apples can be sweet, tart, crisp, and crunchy, or soft and smooth, depending on the type you choose. There is a type of apple to suit almost anyone's taste, but most people have only tried a few of the common types. Some varieties of apples in the United States include:
- Red Delicious —deep red skin; purported to contain the highest level of antioxidants out of all apple varietals; sweet, crispy, and juicy; best eaten fresh or in salads
- Golden Delicious —yellow skin; mellow and sweet; good choice for salads and other dishes
- Fuji —yellow or red skin; sweet and firm; available year round
- Granny Smith —green skin; very tart; works well as a snack and in pie and sauce
- Gala —cream, yellow, or red striped flesh; crispy, juicy, and very sweet; ideal for snacks
- Rome Beauty —mildly tart; used primarily for cooking
- McIntosh —tangy tart; best for snacking, applesauce, and pie
- Idared —tangy and firm; good for snacking and holds its shape for baking
- Jonathan —spicy tangy; used in pie, applesauce, and cider
- Empire —crisp, juicy, sweet-tart; good all-purpose apple
- Cortland —sweeter than MacIntosh; excellent for salads, kabobs, and garnishes
- Newtown Pippin —green skin; aromatic and tangy; great for pie and applesauce
Other popular varieties of apples include Braeburn, Cameo, Ginger gold, Honey Crisp, and Pink Lady.
Nutritional Value
Apples have many nutrition benefits. They are low in calories, have no fat, and are high in both soluble and insoluble fiber. This chart shows the nutrient content of one apple.

Selection and Storage
For the most appetizing apple-eating experience, follow these tips for selecting, storing, and preparing apples:
- Choose apples that are free of bruises, and handle them with care to avoid bruising.
- For the best flavor and crunchiness, choose apples that are firm.
- Keep apples in the refrigerator to slow ripening and retain flavor. Refrigerated apples can last for 90 days or more.
- When storing apples, keep them away from pungent foods. This will prevent them from absorbing unpleasant odors.
- Wash apples in cool water before serving.
- To prevent browning when cutting, slicing, or dicing apples, coat them with a 50:50 solution of water and lemon juice or 100% apple juice.
Apple-tizing Recipes
Baked Apples
- 3 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 1 cup apple juice
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- ½ cup sugar
- 8 Gala or Golden Delicious apples
- 3 tablespoons brandy
- ½ cup crème fraiche
Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Combine vinegar, juice, butter, and sugar in a 13- by 9-inch glass baking dish. Cut off top ¾ inch of apples to make lids. Scoop out cores with a melon-ball cutter and replace lids. Put apples in baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in middle of oven until very tender but still intact, 1 to 1 ¼ hours.
Transfer apples to plates and boil pan juices with brandy in a saucepan until reduced to about 1 cup. Fill apples with crème fraiche and serve with sauce.
Makes 8 servings.

Mozilla has announced the public availability of Firefox 16, the latest version of its open-source web browser. While this version is light on new features that most users will notice—and missing some features many faithful users have been expecting—there are some major additions under the hood that will make Firefox 16 a better platform for developing apps for both the desktop browser and mobile web.
As we've reported, Firefox 15 included a whole host of user experience features, including some impressive support for web-based gaming. Firefox 16 is focused more on pushing forward the browser's support for advanced Cascading Style Sheets features and HTML 5 programming interfaces, as well as a pair of web APIs suited specifically to tablets and mobile devices. There's also a new feature of the browser that will appeal to both developers and power users: a command line that drives many of the browser's internal tools.
But what's missing from Firefox 16 is just as important—or perhaps more important—than what made it into this release. Firefox 16 still (at least officially) lacks a built-in PDF reader—while reading PDFs is supported through a browser add-in, the internal reader is still experimental. And more notably for Mac users, a whole raft of bug fixes for support of Mac OS X Lion and Mountain Lion have missed release—without any indication of when they'll finally be rolled in.
By your command
The Developer Command Line is integrated into Firefox's new Developer Toolbar, which also gives users quick access to Firefox's integrated Web console, JavaScript debugger, and page element inspection tools. Normally out of view, the toolbar can be summoned by pressing the Shift and F2 keys.
The commands are all documented within the Command Line's own help system. In addition, as you type into the Command Line bar, Firefox autocompletes commands, and offers syntactic help in completing them.
Each of the developer tools that are launchable from the Developer Toolbar are also fully wired into the command line, so developers can keep their fingers on the keyboard, using text commands to launch and manipulate the Web console and JavaScript debugger, to configure break points in JavaScript code, and make changes to various attributes of the page they're working on. The command line can also be used with the Inspector to launch specific views of the page contents—such as the 3D "Tilt" visualization of a page's elements, which can be opened and rotated from the command line.
There are some features of the command line tool that will be useful to non-developers as well. You can also use the command line to list and clear cookies, change the settings for browser add-ons, restart the browser, and even take screenshots of a browser page.
Changes under the hood
The major performance improvement in Firefox 16 is the introduction of incremental garbage collection. Firefox's JavaScript engine previously collected memory from scripts that were no longer running in big, long-running blocks; now it performs the culling in smaller segments to avoid a performance hit.
Out-of-date plugins (such as Flash players, for example) have long been a weak point in browser security. In Firefox 14, Mozilla introduced a feature that allowed users to configure all plug-ins to require user authorization to launch, called "click to play," that would at least allow security-conscious users to know when a web page was trying to execute content in one of them. The "click-to-play" feature isn't exactly something that is easily configured by an average user right now—it's buried in the about:config advanced configuration screen accessible through the browser itself.
The opt-in feature has been extended in Firefox 16 to allow Mozilla to remotely configure "click to play" for specific plug-ins based on information from their developers. This isn't a feature users can configure—it's specifically wired into Mozilla's update system.
For example, in the event of a Flash player vulnerability, Adobe could pass an alert through Mozilla to users, prompting users when a site tries to launch the plug-in with an alert—essentially nagging them until they update the out-of-date software, while giving them the opportunity to avoid malicious content in the meantime. A similar feature is already part of Google Chrome.
What's missing for Mac OS X?
While the inline PDF reader is currently slotted for Firefox 18—which will likely be released before the end of the year—the Mac OS X fixes have dropped completely off Mozilla's release tracking radar. Some of the issues have been resolved, such as the use of Lion's (and Mountain Lion's) native scrollbars, and support for full-screen mode (though I experienced some bugs in full screen support when using it on a MacBook with a second, external monitor).
Also, Firefox 16 finally adds support for the VoiceOver voice-assisted navigation feature in Mac OS X, allowing users to navigate through content from their keyboard and describing content by voice as it's moused over. But other interface elements, such as support for multitouch gestures like pinching to zoom in and out (already supported on Firefox's mobile browser) and the three-finger double-tap to bring up a dictionary definition of a word), remain untouched.
The same is true for the swiping gesture for moving back and forth through history, as is supported in Safari. (Chrome supports these gestures, but without the animation used by other applications.)
Mac interface purists holding out for those features won't be happy anytime soon. That's because the bug requests to make Firefox more Lion-friendly haven't even been assigned yet. Considering there's a whole new set of gesture-based fixes that will be needed to support Windows 8, it's not likely they'll be getting much priority.

Bounty hunter Stephanie Plum returns 'Twenty-One'
Janet Evanovich delivers another hilarious entry in her Stephanie Plum series with "Top Secret Twenty-One."
Life is never dull for bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. Her boyfriend, hot cop Joe Morelli, wants to take their relationship to the next level. She lusts for Ranger, the owner of a security firm that she occasionally assists in cases. Her day job as a bond enforcement agent pays the bills, and she has a partner in Lula, who wears clothes way too small for her and hasn't met a doughnut she doesn't like. When a simple task of bringing in a Trenton, N.J., car dealer named Jimmy Poletti who sold more than cars goes awry, things begin to fall apart for Stephanie and everyone she knows.
People who worked with Poletti start to turn up dead. His accountant, a jerk named Briggs, begs Stephanie to protect him. She agrees, but wherever she tries to hide him, trouble follows. Then someone tries to kill Ranger and his team using a crude radioactive device. Can Stephanie stop the explosions and murder to keep her loved ones safe from a ruthless killer? More important, what items can Stephanie's grandmother remove from her bucket list?
Evanovich's books featuring Plum and her quirky friends, colleagues and criminals are the perfect junk food for readers wanting a beach read escape. The combination of biting dialogue, outrageous characters and intense story lines are consistent throughout. And her novels are the definition of a guilty pleasure.

When: Sometime in June (No Specific Date Released Yet)
Teen Wolf

There are 24 episodes this season, so we really hope you like Teen Wolves, cause there's about to be a shit load more of it. Here's a fan-made trailer to get you excited.
Where: MTV
When: Sometime in the Summer (No Specific Date Released Yet, We're Guessing June)
Not Announced Yet

When: Summer 2013
Under the Dome
What: Based on Stephen King's novel of the same name, CBS has ordered 13 episodes of this drama with the intention to premiere in the summer. The premise is simple, a small town is quarantined by a giant, unbreakable dome. Everything goes to hell. Brian K. Vaughan will write the first episode.
Where: CBS
When: Summer 2013
What: We're still waiting on the network to announce the future of this little super powered series. But if it doesn't go anywhere, we can still fall back on the Blake's 7 reboot that's also in Syfy's pipeline.
Where: Syfy
When: No Specific Date Released Yet
What: A Wonder Woman origins story. It's been described as the classic fish out of water story, for example the Amazon "moans" the first time she tries ice cream. Not as bad as the NBC boob monologuing Wonder Woman series, but a hard CW "oh golly look, no shirt" series.
Where: The CW
When: No Specific Date Released Yet
What: Joss Whedon has been casting up a storm for this Marvel spin off series focused around the agents who make up the mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. They've already cast the delightful Ming-Na as head Agent, and a bunch of her young lackeys. So there's no telling when this series might start shooting. We're hopeful for a late summer debut, but a fall premiere seems more plausible.
Where: ABC
When: No Specific Date Released Yet
Area 51
What: Back in July, it was reported that AMC's mysterious Area 51 drama was already shooting. The show is based on journalist Annie Jacobsen's book Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base. Note, Jacobsen's work is not science fiction, and in fact claims that the object of the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident was, in fact, a Soviet flying disc, which is a big strike against aliens or their remains popping up. So maybe there won't be any little green men, but we're still pretty keyed up about this drama.
Where: AMC
When: No Specific Date Released Yet
What: world-class humper Jonathan Rhys Meyers will plays Dracula. Everyone gets naked.
Where: NBC
When: No Specific Date Released Yet
Untitled JH Wyman Project
What: In the future, LAPD officers are paired with androids. From the former co-showrunner of Fringe.
Where: Fox
When: No Specific Date Released Yet
Venture Bros.
What: At this point it's anyone's guess when we'll see the new season. The creators said we could see the new season anywhere from mid-March or as late as early May. But until then, let this sizzle reel tide you over.
Where: Adult Swim
When: No Specific Date Released Yet
What: With a pilot directed by Alfonso Cuaron, this series is about a girl who is destined to develop great powers in seven years.
When: No Specific Date Released Yet
Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death
What: Guillermo Del Toro's Twin Peaks series based on the book The Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death by Corinne May Botz. It's a pretty insane idea, given that the book recreates a collection of unsolved cases from the past, along with photographs of the incredibly detailed dioramas that were constructed with each case.
Where: HBO
When: No Specific Date Released Yet

April 22, 2012 (Modified April 24, 2012)
I had intended to finish assembling the second half of the "Oracle Database 11gR2 Performance Tuning Cookbook" book review, however my free time that may be dedicated to book reviews has been a bit limited lately (I have a review of another book started, but left untouched for the last three months). On a side note, I am a little shocked that none of the 21 errata reports that I filed for the first 88 pages of the book made it onto the publisher's website, but maybe that is not too uncommon (the same has happened for at least one Apress book).
I encountered an interesting quote on page 252 of the "Oracle Database 11gR2 Performance Tuning Cookbook" that I thought I would share with readers:
"The PCTINCREASE parameter cannot be specified when we use the AUTOALLOCATE option for the tablespace. We can have different tablespaces for each database user and we can query the dynamic performance view V$SORT_USAGE to retrieve the details about the active disk sorts occurring in the instance.
We can obtain better performance by striping the temporary tablespace using multiple disks. Please note that – due to their nature – temporary tablespaces are not affected by backup and restore operations."
If you own the book, start on page 251 and read through the end of page 252. – there are a couple of additional interesting sentences in this section of the book
What, if anything, is wrong with the above quote from the book? For those readers that need some assistance with this task, the Oracle Database 11.2 documentation might be helpful.
The point of blog articles like this one is not to insult authors who have spent thousands of hours carefully constructing an accurate and helpful book, but instead to suggest that readers investigate when something stated does not exactly match what one believes to be true. It could be that the author "took a long walk down a short pier", or that the author is revealing accurate information which simply cannot be found through other resources (and may in the process be directly contradicting information sources you have used in the past). If you do not investigate in such cases, you may lose an important opportunity to learn something that could prove to be extremely valuable.
(Added April 24, 2012, my book review notes for the four quoted sentences, plus one of the preceding sentences)
- The book's discussion of defining the INITIAL and NEXT storage parameters for temporary tablespaces as a multiple of the SORT_AREA_SIZE parameter seems to be out of place in an Oracle Database 11g R2 performance tuning book – dictionary managed tablespaces were deprecated with the release of Oracle Database 9.2, and the effect of these parameters is different in locally managed tablespaces (page 252).
- The book states, "The PCTINCREASE parameter cannot be specified when we use the AUTOALLOCATE option for the tablespace." This statement appears to be incorrect – the Oracle Database documentation states that a specified value for PCTINCREASE will be ignored when creating an AUTOALLOCATE tablespace (page 252).
- The book states, "We can have different tablespaces for each user and we can query the dynamic performance view V$SORT_USAGE to retrieve the details about the active disk sorts occurring in the instance." This statement is a bit confusing, so it is probably best to break the sentence into two separate logical sentences for analysis. The first half of the statement seems to suggest that a separate temp tablespace should (or could) be created for each user – I am not sure that this is the author's intended interpretation; the default temporary tablespace may be set at the user level so that not all users are required to use the same (default) temporary tablespace. For the second logical sentence, the V$SORT_USAGE performance view was deprecated with the release of Oracle Database 9.2, replaced with V$TEMPSEG_USAGE. In Oracle Database 11.2 (the version mentioned on the book's front cover), the V$SORT_USAGE view is based on the GV$SORT_USAGE view which selects from X$KTSSO (confirm by issuing SELECT VIEW_DEFINITION FROM V$FIXED_VIEW_DEFINITION WHERE VIEW_NAME='GV$SORT_USAGE';). The GV$SORT_USAGE view definition, which is pointed to by both the V$SORT_USAGE and V$TEMPSEG_USAGE synonyms, indicates that the SEGTYPE column values may be one of SORT, HASH, DATA, INDEX, LOB_ DATA, LOB_INDEX , or UNDEFINED. The potential values of the SEGTYPE column suggests that the view potentially shows a variety of activity in addition to what the book mentions (the WHERE clause should be adapted to restrict the rows returned from this view, so that the results are consistent with this chapter's contents). The V$SORT_USAGE view also shows entries for aborted SQL statements, for instance when Ctrl-C is pressed in SQL*Plus and another SQL statement has not been executed by the session (page 252).
- The book states, "Please note that – due to their nature – temporary tablespaces are not affected by backup and restore operations." This is a vague statement at best, and the accuracy of the statement depends in part on the type of backup performed (online or offline, user-managed or RMAN hot backup, etc.). An online RMAN backup will not back up the tempfiles of locally managed temporary tablespaces; however, when those backed up databases are restored and recovered, Oracle Database 10.2 and later will recreate the temporary tablespace tempfiles when the database is opened (page 252).
