World Of Ares

I think that there are a number of reasons for the lower quality. Part of it has to do with the fact that the publishing in industry has been slashing their moneys dedicated for editors. The result is less vetting of each title. The publishers do see it as the people will just buy the book because of the name. If you notice, Clancy's name is much bigger than th title, and the co-author's name is much smaller and in a color that allows it to blend in well with the background color.

I also think that authors just have only so many stories and characters and they start to loose their skill a little bit after that point. You are right in that John Grisham is one of those guys. Either way, it is really frustrating for the fans.

I always enjoy your photo updates of your furrykids.

I think it is so great how much you have made movies a part of your life. I used to make more time for them when I was in college. I don't really seem to have the time to get to the theater now, though, I usually get a ton of movies to watch through work.

I know that I have to do laundry. I will probably try and get the syllabi for my two fall classes done since they start in the next two weeks. If all goes really well, I will get them up on the online course access areas.

You definitely seem t agre with every review I have read about this today.

That definitely doesn't sound like a fun experience. When things go wrong with a water heater, there always seems to be a major mess to clean up! I hope it doesn't take you too long.

Your like a bird superhero!

I think it looks great. It can take a while to shift from print-based medium to online versions. I know it took a while to get my balance when I shifted to using online lectures rather than handouts and spoken lectures. One of the things that have helped is the inclusion of podcasts and other forms of interactive multimedia.

I am so sorry. What could possibly explain a jump of 400%? That seems totally insane!

This is a great painting! I love it!

That was really cool! Thanks so much for sharing!

This was one of the first remakes of one of the cartoons I grew up with that I really liked. They changed a few things, but did a really good job of reflecting the original. Go Joes!

I hope you start feeling better soon. Bouts of depression can be really difficult. Sending love and support your way.

Have fun on your vacation! I am looking forward to your sharing it with us. You always do a great job with that! I feel like I am getting to travel the world with you.
