One exciting outing has Gramps and friends taking Sunny to Morrison's Cafeteria for the early bird special. Big plans for Gramps mean a trip to the post office or the grocery store. Sunny's time with her Gramps is, after some adjustment, deliciously empty. These are things that the Holms convey in Sunny Side Up, through story and illustrations. I also have memories of the long, hot days of summer that stretched out ahead of you with a comfortable emptiness and memories of running around with packs of kids and benevolent neglect on the part of the pre-helicopter parents. I was eight in 1976 and I had a colonial girl costume that I wore, although maybe not as much as Tina Fey.

When I used to read more progression fantasy, there was usually a point where things just got a little boring. About writing, about what I want to write, and about what I enjoy writing. Well, since I first asked myself those questions, I've learned quite a lot. The process has been fun and super rewarding, with both stories.īeside the reasons I stated for starting these projects, one of the major ones was one question.Īnd what would it mean for me? Was it all a fluke? Was I just lucky? Can I even write anything worth reading? Oh my god nobody will give a shit. To set up a new world and see where it leads. Now I'm working on Infrasound, another side project to develop, to learn and understand more about the process of writing and storytelling. I talked about various considerations like Ilea being insanely powerful, being a little burned with the constant updates and working on the same story. You may or may not remember me testing the waters with Leaves of Terranthir, trying to produce a story beside Azarinth Healer to clear my head. I've been thinking about how to tackle all this but I suppose I'll just go with it. I even had his poster on my wall and bought a leather trouser & jacket combo set…) so this book was one I instantly knew I wanted to read. Growing up, I was obsessed with Buffy the Vampire Slayer (my favourite character was Spike, if you’re interested. Or, could it be something even more sinister? With a haunting background of voodoo and vampires, this book is an action-filled adventure that sees the group of friends tracking down the killer. And why are Mina and Libby always involved or nearby when they do? Murders are happening around the town that don’t seem to make sense. It isn’t until she’s been there a few days until the weird happenings start to occur. What better place is there for a girl who loves all things gothic and vampire to be? The summer before she turns 18, Mina has decided to visit her sister and spend a couple of months being totally immersed in the culture. Set in 1995 at Fang Fest in New Orleans, this is a gothic horror that you won’t want to miss! Mina’s mother has left, leaving her alone after her sister, Libby, moved to New Orleans for university. There had been limit-shattering paradigmatic breakthroughs in life extension during the 2060s and 2070s. The experience of massive dieback, of septic terror and emptied cities, had permanently removed the culture's squeamishness. You were a credit risk and a bad business partner. If you were on a conspicuously public metabolic bender, then you weren’t the kind of person that people trusted nowadays. People who publicly destroyed their own health had a rather hard time staying wealthy-not because it took good health to become wealthy, but because it took other people’s confidence to make and keep money. Nowadays mere wealth guaranteed very little. Once upon a time, having money had almost guaranteed good health, or at least good health care. Careless people had become a declining interest group with a shrinking demographic share. The survivors were a permanently cautious and foresightful lot. hygienically careless people had died in their billions during the plagues of the 2030s and 2040s. I've enjoyed some of his other books more, but I found this one timely because of the future history he wrote: the world Sterling created is based almost entirely on the world's response to decades of plagues that decimated the population. Holy Fire, by Bruce Sterling, was published in 1996. As is often the case, theory defines a necessary-but not sufficient-set of features, and modern architectures are the result of the combination of the theoretical framework with insights derived from practical systems. It also describes earlier systems that enabled virtualization despite the lack of architectural support in hardware. The first half of the book provides the historical perspective of the theoretical framework developed four decades ago by Popek and Goldberg. Despite the focus on architectural support in current architectures, some historical perspective is necessary to appropriately frame the problem. Virtualization is still possible when the instruction set architecture lacks such support, but the hypervisor remains more complex and must rely on additional techniques. This book focuses on the core question of the necessary architectural support provided by hardware to efficiently run virtual machines, and of the corresponding design of the hypervisors that run them. From Afghanistan to Yemen, Somalia and beyond, Scahill reports from the frontlines in this high-stakes investigation and explores the depths of America’s global killing machine. While the Bush administration deployed these ghost militias, President Barack Obama has expanded their operations and given them new scope and legitimacy.ĭirty Wars follows the consequences of the declaration that “the world is a battlefield,” as Scahill uncovers the most important foreign policy story of our time. Funded through “black budgets,” Special Operations Forces conduct missions in denied areas, engage in targeted killings, snatch and grab individuals and direct drone, AC-130 and cruise missile strikes. The foot soldiers in these battles operate globally and inside the United States with orders from the White House to do whatever is necessary to hunt down, capture or kill individuals designated by the president as enemies.ĭrawn from the ranks of the Navy SEALs, Delta Force, former Blackwater and other private security contractors, the CIA’s Special Activities Division and the Joint Special Operations Command ( JSOC), these elite soldiers operate worldwide, with thousands of secret commandos working in more than one hundred countries.
