 Absentee $14.98 Jason from Mushroomhead and Gene Hoglan from strapping young lad being put together was enough for me to buy this before I even heard it, and I was not disappointed. It's a great CD, some of Jason's best work. Really love songs like Dialtone. If you're into Mushroomhead or metal in general, pick this one up.  Fatal Forecast: An Incredible True Tale of Disaster and Survival at Sea $15.00 This is the most important book regarding commercial fishing because it is real. It should be required reading as the general public is never told about what goes on on the ocean. It is part of our country but the media cheats us and fishermen by not reporting it. This book reports what happenned during the "Perfect Storm" on George's Bank off the Mass. coast. Please read this book and pay attention to what's going on. Your fish should come from here but the Fed's are not helping.  The Next 100 Years: A Forecast for the 21st Century $25.95 George Friedman, the author of The Next 100 Years, is the founder and CEO of STRATFOR, a private intelligence and forecasting company. He is the author of four books and numerous articles on national security, information warfare, computer security, and the intelligence business. He lives in Austin, Texas. If the reader of this book is a severe critic of the United States, that reader must be prepared for an author who is very pro United States. While Friedman's bias is indeed extreme, he does a very credible and learned job of defending his position with substantial informed levels of information. Secondly, the reader will find in this book an interesting discussion on wars and their effects. Third, this author reveals a fascinating forecasting methodology. Friedman states, "...it is important that I address my method - that is, precisely how I can forecast what I do. I don't intend to be taken seriously on the details of the war in 2050 that I forecast. But I do want to be taken seriously in terms of how wars will be fought then, about the centrality of American power, about the likelihood of other countries challenging that power, and about some of the countries I think will - and won't - challenge that power." Finally, I found the author's views on the next 100 years to be, to say the least, dramatic! |
