BUFFERING

Endlessly aggravating pauses that occurred onscreen while watching choppy playback of online clips and films, usually accompanied by an image of an hourglass, a rotating circle, or a colored horizontal bar; often resulted in basketball games that looked like groups of robots playing freeze tag; most common before high-speed Internet connections were available outside the workplace. Inspired bilious YouTube users to post proclamations like VideoSuperMaster's "One day Satan found out about buffering and said to himself, 'Even I think that is too evil.'"

    For as long as Emmeline can remember, she's longed to leave the isolated world of the settlement and explore the wilderness that calls to her in her dreams. And now that the Council has fallen, she will finally, finally get that chance. With First Peoples guide Matisa at her side, Emmeline rallies a brave group to join her on her quest into the unknown, including her beloved Kane and his two younger brothers. But the journey soon proves far more dangerous than Emmeline anticipated—with warring clans, slavers, colonists, disease, and natural disasters seemingly at every turn. After putting so many lives in danger, she starts to doubt everything she once knew. Did she make the right choice to leave the settlement—and can her relationship with Kane survive the ordeal? Matisa insists that to set things right and to fight the evil that is bringing all this danger and turmoil to the forest, Emmeline must journey to Matisa's people—even if that means leaving Kane behind.

  • The Sexual Life of Catherine M.

    The Sexual Life of Catherine M.

    A national best-seller that was featured on such lists as The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, The Boston Globe, and Publishers Weekly, The Sexual Life of Catherine M. was the controversial sleeper hit of the year. Since her youth, Catherine Millet, the eminent editor of Art Press, has led an extraordinarily active and free sexual life -- from al fresco encounters in Italy to a gang bang on the edge of the Bois du Boulogne to a high-class orgy at a chichi Parisian restaurant. A graphic account of sex stripped of sentiment, of a life of physical gratification and a relentlessly honest look at the consequences -- both liberating and otherwise -- have created this candid, powerful, and deeply intelligent depiction of unfettered sexuality.
  • Collected Poems 1909-1962

    Collected Poems 1909-1962

    'Each year Eliot's presence reasserts itself at a deeper level, to an audience that is surprised to find itself more chastened, more astonished, more humble.' Ted Hughes Poet, dramatist, critic and editor, T. S. Eliot was one of the defining figures of twentieth-century poetry. This edition of Collected Poems 1909-1962 includes his verse from Prufrock and Other Observations (1917) to Four Quartets (1943), and includes such literary landmarks as The Waste Land and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats.

    太古一战后,三族大能炼成空间神器,降下誓愿将天下大陆一分为三,以人、妖两族为主力一方占领大陆,享有最丰厚的资源,并在大路上繁衍生息。而以魔族为首的战败方则立下契约,远离大陆。并以混沌之力创造十魔海,退居此处。太古一役耗近百年之久,各族死伤惨重。初代神因参与人间纷争,修补天地,消耗甚厉,纷纷陨落无踪。后飞天者得神谕,陨落之神精神不死,将轮回于世,涅槃复生。后神心思各异,各方势力相互试探。然后神之争,祸及人间。于是最有威望的十二国主立下盟誓,各自设法将通天之塔封印,使限制往来,又设天地禁制,隔绝人神,是以绝地通天。初代神陨落轮回之所,为天生之地,谓一重天。后神脱离凡世,跃而升天,谓二重天。凡尘多纷争,人妖各族在后神的后代看来渺如尘土,谓三重天也称下界。后神居于重天之上,却依然不减纷争。不过几百年便再将目光投向下界。甚至模仿初代神之举,在下界培植势力。最初的神侍世家乃是初代神的信徒和拥护者,为神明转世而祈愿。而后来涌现出的神侍世家却无异于二重天所谓“神”的奴仆。但神侍就是这样游离于规则边缘的存在,他们将身体和意志奉献给神明,接受神明的赐福以庇护家族,繁衍生息。
