The only time Steiger ever held a black man by the arm was when he needed to inflict discipline on him.
South Africa, 1985. Apartheid is rife - and so is the resistance to it. Against this background a black man and a white man find themselves trapped underground, the sole survivors of a mining disaster. The black has been blinded by the explosion and the white man is badly injured. Segregation or not, only if they can work together can they get out - but do they?Just say that one escapes. What are the reactions of that survivor to the young daughter of the other - particularly when Apartheid segregates black from white?Although this story starts with a mining catastrophe, it is of a greater catastrophe that I write: Apartheid - which was a disaster for both blacks and whites alike. Fiction it may be - but it is fiction woven around the framework of cruelty and oppression inflicted by white on black in an attempt to keep a strangle hold on a 'beloved country' that wasn't theirs to hold in the first place.

Gripping and smacks of authenticity, find the cuffing and stuff tad overdone, but then again, I speak as a South African so can be I am a bit sensitive. :) Lamentable but such is the common perceptive. Certainly the premise is good and I will be reading more. THE BLAME GAME
Read the first two chapters and will certainly be returning for more. Some lovely, evocative writing - "the black hand of a black man in a black, black cave" gave me a real feeling of claustrophobia. I like the way my impression of Steiger's and Kingsley's characters changed as I discovered that Steiger was overweight and Kingsley wasn't quite as certain of his religion as he initially appeared to be. (Is vodoo an African religion?) Neither was Kingsley the wise old black man I was expecting. He turns out to be an activist and a killer, however reluctant. I look forward to seeing how this develops and think the book is likely to find a place on my bookshelf when there's a vacancy.Good luck with it!Margaret
HFRGHi found myself struggling through the first chapter. I had to re-read paras because of so many typos a n repeated words in sentences ('he's'). I began to note suggestions but stopped. for example: Why 'When, 1985,..etc' simply write 'When the Ochatingi Copper mine exploded in 1985,...etc'Then after '...knew three things.' You write 'The first was that...' 'The second was that...' 'And the third was that...' I suggest; 'Firstly, he remained barely alive; secondly. his position was precarious; so much so that a betting man (no need) ...etc; thirdly, although...etc'I feel you have much work to do yet. Believe me, it will be worth reading through; you will realise my point of view.Pat
Although this is not my bag, I thought I would read it. I am looking for books on Authonomy that I wouldnt normally read and this obviously fits the bill. its a good idea for a story and I think you tell it well. It also stretches across a number of genres too. Nice hooks throughout with a good pace to the book. You describe well in the book and keep the reader wanting more. I think this could do very well. Good luck.Sean Connolly. British Army on the Rampage. (B.A..O.R) Please consider me for a read or watch list wont you?? Many thanks. Sean
I found the early chapters had too much backstory - this needs to be paid out slowly as it impacts on the story
Thank you, Frances, for that and for taking the trouble to comment. When the dust has settled from blood andd bullets and packing cases and paint pots (we have just moved home) I will return the read and apply my mind again to 'The Mine.'. You are by far from the first to have commented on the backstory; and I am going to have to give that serious thought. My difficulty is that I am trying to acheive a story set against an historical, political background. Yes, spread it out may well be the answer.AJB
It's rare to find a novel set in South Africa, even rarer one that deals with mines. I enjoyed this book, though with the benefit of hindsight, now that apartheid is finished and South Africa is a democracy, it's less unsettling and uncomfortable than it should be. Your characters are drawn with warmth and understanding, but I found the early chapters had too much backstory - this needs to be paid out slowly as it impacts on the plot. The landscape, lifestyles and politics of the 1980s are well evoked. Beware of using cliched similes. Thank you for this human story.
I found this an interesting premise. The pragmatic, does what needs to be done, white guy, and the spiritual, god-loving black man both stuck in a horrible situation.I think there was maybe a little too much exposition and backstory in the first couple of chapters. Don's assessment of the situation is all fine, but whenever he thinks back to how he got there or what life is like in South Africa in general it tends to lose any momentum you've managed to get going. There isn't too much of that so it's okay, but it is noticeable.It's far more noticeable in Kingsley's first chapter. There's a lot of explaining of his life, both in family terms and political terms. And a lot of names. Far too many to keep up with.I appreciate that to give the story some grounding you need to give an idea of what kind of life these people live, but throwing dozens of names at the reader is not a very effective way to do it since after the first few none of them stick. I would suggest you need to be more selective and focus on the situation more than the backstory early on.Not that I'm against backstory—I find stories that just leap into the fray shallow and confusing—but I think you've gone a bit too far in the other direction. And it's especially something to be wary of right at the start of the story when you're trying to draw the reader in. When you do focus on the accident the writing is very strong and vivid. Once you get to what's going on up on the surface the momentum picks up again and it moves along very well.
The Mine -Historical Review Chapters 1-3This is a powerful story from the very beginning. It starts with a lovely poem that almost feels surreal, because it is so beautiful and so different from the horrific mining incident that follows. Although 1985 isn't quite a historical time period for me, the story feels like it's timeless. The conflict between man and nature, and man's survival is very strong in these first three chapters.Inside a mine, where blacks and whites are working, an explosion occurs, and unleashes a destructive force that kills several people. We get a glimpse of two survivors and their thoughts, as they struggle in the aftermath and darkness. One is white, and the other is black, blinded by the incident. The "boss" is outside with 200 other people, waiting to find out the news. He descends inside, only to find out the damage and carnage was great. He barely escapes as another explosion occurs, leaving five volunteers behind who did not live through the explosion.The tension and emotional investment is immense as we identify with the survivors, and see their hopes, fears, and dreams. Suggestions/Nitpicks:I don't see hope around the bend, hope that buffers the shock of death, at least not for several chapters, something that would keep me turning the pages. I can only guess that from this disaster something good will come?Highly starred and will keep on my WL for future reading.Best,PattyThe Greek Maiden and the English Lord
I enjoyed reading this a lot and will try and get back to read on just for pleasure.I like the character development and your writing style very much. I wasn't really criting I'm afraid but I did notice one typo at the end of Ch. 9 . You've written 'have' instead of 'hate'. Freudian slip I should think as the previous paras were about rape.High stars
What a great start 'The Mine' is. I read the first four chapters, and it made me thirst for more.Your writing makes compelling reading, and the characters, Steiger, as a tough, brutal white man, and Kingsley, a far more compassionate, black man are both very convincing, as is the setting. I especially liked the idea of Kingsley being blinded by the accident in the mine. ( I just hope he doesn't miraculously have his sight restored later.)However, I would have liked your story to have been written in the present tense rather than the past.Some of your writing could be reworked to improve the flow. Try and replace passive words like, 'that,' 'begins,' 'of the,' 'turned', 'some of the', 'was' and 'were.' I know because I have just done this to my work and it reads a lot better. Best Wishes,Carol
The writing is good and the story interesting enough. It was able to hold my attention and made me want ti read more. You seem to like semi colons. Gramatically they are used used differently than you use them here. I was somewhat confused on the flashback to the cause of the explosion but once I got it it read very well.Good job.Abby
Brilliant. Had me breathlessly reading. And this is not a subject that would normally catch my attention, so that says it all. Think this will get published, too.
D/In the words of Chas, in Cat Ballou, 'You are an absolute sweet little sugar plum - and, one day, somebody is going to come along and eat you up...' (A slightly o.t.t .way of saying thanks - but thanks.)Looking forward to Leo & Rover.AJB
HI AJ,This to me looks terrific. The title and pitches are good, well-written. I've WL this for now. I'll come back soon to read it. It's me,DLEO & ROVER: THE PURPLE MARBLE ADVENTURE
Mick/Thanks for that. The typos all done and dusted; and I will give careful consideration to your other comments. Showing, not telling, is a particular bete noir of mine: First, I think that the principle is greatly overstated; secondly, a soliloquy apart, it is really rather difficult for one character in one chamber to have much of a conversation with anyone; and thirdly, you can 'tell' in a single paragraph what has to take several pages to show - and the story already runs to 100,000 words as it is. 'Them' referrs to the mining community at large, which I had hoped would be obvious; and many Christians, black and white, presumably because they were Christians, fought against Apartheid - so, on those points, I stick to my guns: But grateful, none-the-less for your input.AJB
Using a mine disaster in the initial introduction of your characters is really quite unique. I think what seems to have happened with your writing is that these opening chapters are totally dominated by the narrator. In the first chapter it is at times difficult to differentiate between the narrator and the white foreman, because they seem to use the same language/accent as in "bladdy." "picaninni" and one or two other instances that have racial overtones. I think it would have read better if you'd have used the spoken word instead, thus showing the reader rather than telling. At one point you also seemed to switch to plural tense? "... water dripped down on "them" from the rock canopy above "them" ..." whereas before it had been "him" - also the dreaded typos that need to be pointed out I guess. "They didn't need (a) brain ..." chapter two "... unable (to) see the light..."in addition you've missed out a number of letters from some words so that, "that" becomes "tat" etcThen you come to the black man in the second chapter, who for some reason is in chamber 32 whereas the white guy is in chamber 33? (are they connected?) The narrator's voice then changed and it seemed at times that I was reading something from Uncle Tom's Cabin, with regards to his religion, his sexual encounters, and his life-style. Also if he his a freeedom-fighter would he have the religion of the white man his oppressor, after all Christianity was taught to the African wasn't it?The sense I got from the second chapter seems to place the narrator in the position of uncertainty. After all it is a white man writing about a black man. The thought did cross my mind that if you were black would you have written about a black man in this fashion? I know that you are laying the foundations for what is to come later, but I was hoping you would show the reader, rather then tell them. I think there needs to be more of a balance in order for the story to have greater impact. This is set in a very crucial period in South African history, when the world waited. It is the time of Nelson Mandela and the ANC, where protesters were gunned down in the streets of Soweto and political tensions were at breaking point. I wish you well with this book, it is a very big story to tell, but feel you should let the characters take over and let them develop. Regards Mick "It Was a Kind of Cold, Grey Morning"
I have dipped into this at random, partly because I do not have time to read every word but also because I like to see if the style and momentum of a book are maintained. So many people start a story well and then lose their way very quickly. But not you. This is very good stuff. Crisply written and drawing the reader along at just the right speed. Well done!Philip John
Hey AJ - I read the first two chapters. Firstly, I love the topic - south africa and the apartied will also be a point of interest to me so I was already sold on the story line. For chapter I enjoyed the feeling of the solitude that Don Steiger was experiencing once the blast had happened and his 'tough' character really came through very effectively in the descriptions. I thought you used the quietness following the blast really well in both characters as an opportunity to offer the readers some background information on both characters before it was time for them to meet. Your style of writing is very clean - beautiful afrikans underlying rhythm - very enjoyable and very well written. congrats :)
I found the The Mine to be a captivating read. The primary character, Don Steiger, appears via good description in the first few chapters. I liked his tough boxer background and his enormous size being humbled by his horrific leg injury due to the Ochatingi Mine collapse. The enormity of the Mine incident and the urgency of the rescue is captured well both above and below the surface. Mike Cameron is another strong character that is embroiled in the world of apathied and segregation. I found the constant use of 'Kaffir' a bit disconcerting - although I trust that it is in keeping with the time setting of the novel. Kingsley Longfellow is an interesting character, I like the cliff hangers at the end of each chapter, and Kingsley becoming blind was a good incentive to read on. The narrative is well written, analogies such as 'a dentist in hell' was both vivid and entertaining. AJB, I think you have crafted a good novel and expect The Mine to be popular on authonomy. I'm glad I found it and I've rated it high stars. best regards, Andrew Esposito / Killing Paradise
I read one and bit chapters - only time stopped me from reading on. Great writing style - wonderful descriptions, at one point I had to remind myself to breathe as the dust was only on the page! You also showed your skill at capturing different rhythms for the two main characters. High rating and watchlisted without trepidation.
Very interesting story with a capturing opening of a mine scene. And, yes, a beautiful and heart breaking poem. The story reminded me of the Apartheit days of South Africa (from what I knew from the medias), and the dark and risky atmosphere of a mine at the same time. It is especially interesting because we hear about mine accidents a lot these days. I will come back and read more.r The Forest of Vulcanus
A.J.,I had to back your book. Very good! If you could take a look at my novel, DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, your help will be appreciated. Good luck and happy writing.Dwain-Thomas
THE MINEThis is a story with a dramatic beginning: a cave-in at a South African mine. Steiger is a sympathetic character when he is first introduced but the more he describes himself I found him less likable than I thought he was going to be. I suspect he's a character a reader has to grow into. Kingsley, in contrast, I found likable and sympathetic from the start; imagine what it would feel like to not only be trapped underground but be blind as well. I'm a little claustrophobic so either one of those things sends shivers up my spine. You've created a great setting for this story; and it's clear from the start: this is not a story about two men trapped in a mine. It's about the odd way we categorize people or choose our friends based on insignificant details. Highly starred and added to my shelf. Get busy spamming and asking for reads so this moves up the pile. It's too good to get lost in the slushpile here. Wanttobeawriter: Who Killed the President?
Compelling characters, vivid account of the mine explosion, and a theme that still echoes loudly to many. I am a fan of this realistic writing. A few grammatical errors but in no way detract from this powerful story.I agree on the voodoo reference and the research for South Africa needs a little work. Hammer out those minor details and this will roar even louder.I'll get this on the watchlist when I get some space.--JL "The Devil Of Black Bayou
AJ - I was living in Jo'burg in 1985, although not employed in the mining industry, so your story was one I particularly looked forward to reading. It doesn't disappoint - it's high-quality writing. The characters are well-drawn, as are the scenes both below and above ground.I've read the first four chapters and made some notes:In your pitch you write 'Apartheid is rife'. That is like classing it as something akin to famine or disease.Bantu was an almost obsolete term in 1985. Voodoo is not a word used in South Africa. SA blacks consult Sangomas or Nyangas when wishing to contact the spiritual world. Machetes are known as Pangas in Southern Africa.Slim Schmidt, presumably a white man, would not have called Cameron 'Baas'.In ch 4 the continuous use of derogatory terms by Steiger towards Kingsley seems over the top given that we already know his feelings towards Africans. In his present situation surely he has more pressing needs. I'll return to read more. High stars and I'll be looking to back it when space is available.Camac JohnsonHemingway Quest (I'd welcome your comments!)
Saw this recommended on the forum and came to have a look. The issue of aparteid will always be one - blatant or not, I think, sadly. Your book will therefore always have something to address. I don't have much to say really - no obvious typos or bits where I got confused or whatever - just a fairly seamless read - the story sucked me in really quickly. Like your characters - something likeable about the white guy - a product of his time and circumstances more than an out and out racist - a human character, and the black guy also. Both seemed to be fully rounded, believable people even in a small space of writing, and the images of the church and the mine also well drawn. I shall give you some stars and keep reading, and definitely a shelf space when one comes free.Cariad.
God bless you, Lady! I wish I was enjoying writing it just now - but we all have bad days. Helped by your kind comments, I shall pick myself up, dust myself down, tear up my last chapter - and start over!thanks,AJB
Hi AJa return read for your kind support of Mr Unusually's Circus of Dreams. Thanks again for that.This is wonderful. A gripping situation, some wonderfully well-judged writing, two interesting and contrasting characters set against the backdrop of a country trying to hang on to an abhorrent political regime. Don't think you could write a better premise.The execution is wonderful too. There is some powerful description - the pool of dark blood, dismembered limbs etc. Each character's voice and POV comes in through the narration seamlessly.I am seriously impressed by this.6 stars for now and a future place on my shelf.All the best,Sharda.
I enjoyed this book, you hooked me from the start and with the blacks did what he bladdy told them I got the feel of the narrative straight away, a bold choice to write about but I like to be contraversal so why not? High stars Karen Faking it in France.
Thanks, tons. You know, if it's not going to provoke debate, evoke memories or raise a few eyebrows, I can't see it's worth writing. What astounds me is that it is doing so much better than my first, 'So Sour the Grape'. Maybe your first book is like your first love – you never forget it; but, to me, that one says so much more than this one ever will.Missus' birthday tomorrow - nobody likes hitting certain numbers, but after we've all jollied each other along and ended up on Alka Seltzers, 'Inside Dead', I promise, will receive my undivided attention (unless it happens to be fine enough to play golf – when it will be the day after.)AJB
you are brave to take on provocative subject. but i like that
A.J.,Your book starts out with a mining accident and expands from there, the threads spanning outward, connecting with relevant scenes, backstory and characters. Don and Kingsley are sympathetic players one can only cheer on as they face overwhelming odds. Your pacing is brisk even as you touch on the historical and political reasons for the events taking place. Thanks for the intriguing read.Kenneth Edward LimThe North Korean

A.J.,You've really started with a bang. Clean, powerful writing. Such a great man's story. Like Steiger, love the truthfulness in your writing, your not trying to be politically correct. A period piece only reflects real history if it is told in the language and social awareness of its time. Hope you get away with it when you are published.Caught a couple of little errors.

This is a very interesting book indeed. It creates a sense of presence in a way that is both colourful and realistic. I like the down to Earth writing style and the subject matter, while perhaps already understood by many, is brought to life in a way that will be revealing to many more. Well done AJB - this is a notch or two above average and deserves to do well. I wish you all the very best with it.Regards,Uncas

Jane/You are too kind - and that came when confidence was at an all-time low and self-doubt ruled, OK.Political Correctness? I have often wondered about that - and have hitherto concluded that, today, anything goes. Perhaps it might be more accurate to say that today, whilst one (and count me out) may be as lewd, licentious and sexually explicit as one wishes, with politically correctness, step one inch over the line and one will pay the price. Two unfortunate remarks by Jeremy Clarkson when on the One Show bear me out: The one about suicides in front of tube trains impeding his journey home; and the other about shooting striking civil servants in the street in front of their families. Interesting, the furore that the latter caused, even if on no account could it be taken literally - whilst the former, really offensive and insensitive in my opinion, went almost totally unchallenged.I try not to do the sexually implicit (unless I am being inane) but I have, hitherto, tried to tell the story as it was. Maybe I am going to have to think about that harder.Thank you, anyway.AJB
The Mine. Your pitches promise an interesting story, which covers the problem of race in Africa in a different manner from what I have attempted, and I am intrigued.I make notes as I read, but dont pretend to be an expert.Ch.1. Well written and well crafted. I am impatient to discover what happens next, but interested in the mining details you provide, and the introduction to the MC's background and character is skilfully done.Ch.2. A small nit: you repeat 'switch' in the 4th paragraph, and 'almost' is a word best left out. In fact, if you deleted 'almost immediately' I think you'd agree the sentence would be tighter.The contrast between God-fearing Kingsley and Don the epitomy of apartheid is authentically portrayed. In reality, of course, the difference would have been much more pronounced and all sorts of forbidden words used. I commend your skill in achieving your aim with offence for modern readers. It is not an easy path to tread.I dont think you need to tell the reader he experienced a moment of considerable fear. You show it well enough. And would it be better just to say that lying still, Kingsley gave thanks...?Again, I admire your technique in introducing Kingsley's back story as thought-wanderings as he comes to grip with his dire situation. So natural.Ch.3. Another scene, and more characters are introduced in a way which is easy for the reader to follow without confusion. Masterfully done.But with the sensitivity of modern readers in mind, you might have to think of alternative ways of referring to 'blacks', and 'whites', 'kaffirs' etc.etc. I know in those days the words were bandied about freely... but in my quest for a publisher for Breath of Africa, I've had to be so careful - and I still havent found one!I can see you're an accomplished writer. Your work needs some refining, but we all have to do that. You know how to develope characters, and a plot. But I wonder about the publishability of your book in its present state. The language is authentic, but I question whether the world is ready yet (or will ever be ready) to be exposed to it.Multi-starred for quality and courage!Jane.
It's so refreshing to read a well written story especially just after reading one that wasn't!However, I haven't read much as the subject matter & genre are not ones I would normally read. Having said that I think your opening is excellent, as it draws the reader into the story whilst making the lead character someone who is interesting, that is with the potential to change or develop either for good or bad.I would appreciate a return read with constructive criticism, if I get the time I will be back to read more; as it is I have given yours a rating well deserved, of 4 stars.Best WishesPam BalsdonThe King's Blessing
THE MINEAs I tell everyone, take what rings true and pitch any advice you think is bad. Only you know what is best for the story. I'm also not too great at grammar, so I'll steer clear of that for the most part. Below are my comments:CH 1Okay you throw us right into the action. We find ourselves in a predicament with your MC. Trapped in the mine. No working our way up, here we are right smack-dab in the middle of the good stuff. I like your style already. Dropping us in the middle of the action.You say "over seeing the black fellers..." This makes me wonder what time period this is in? Still early in the story, but I'll be looking for hints why your MC would use this word choice. I like the description of "durra" being the sound of the drill. Nice hook at the end with the realization that he is also deaf. You just added another layer to the story and I see a ton of potential about where this can go. I'm going to say I was pleasantly surprised by this first chapter, at certain points I found myself just reading to read, and forgetting to crit. I'll admit, I saw you were a lawyer and thought the prose might be a little dry or lack emotion. I'm happy to find that this is not the case!CH 8I think I would resonate with the line, "I think that's when I became a bit of a monster..." If it would be changed to, "That's when I became a monster." It reads stronger and leaves the reader with more of an impact. This was a really nice paragraph though. I'm empathizing with the MC. I do have one question. You mentioned that your MC finds Kingsley in the mine, blind, etc from an explosion. I'm naturally wondering how long Kingsley has been down there, how a blind man has been able to survive for so long, etc. I'm sure these are things that you will resolve but I just wanted to point them out that they should be addressed ASAP, so that the reader/publishers/agents aren't thinking that this isn't believable. "...same journey to heaven or hell" stopped me in my tracks. I love that line! Kingsley is really an interesting character and I like him already. There is something endearing about him. Good job with his characterization. I'm assuming you may be from England? I see a statement here that has a totally different meaning in the U.S., than what I think you are trying to convey. "That, Kingsley, is why I hate fucking blacks." Just take a look at that, if you are from the States you'll see what that means by reading it over. The word, "fucking and hate" need to be flip-flopped to make this mean that your MC just REALLY hates blacks, otherwise it means something else, I think you can figure it out. Anyways, I think this has A LOT of potential. There is suspense, drama, nice flashbacks, characters that have depth and real emotion. You get six stars from me. My one MAJOR crit is I don't think your short pitch is doing your book justice and that it could attract more readers. Especially if it was just something along the lines of letting us know a man is trapped in a mine. In my mind, simpler is MUCH better for the short pitch. Good luck with this!
Thanks - pissing it is!AJB
Great first chapter. It pulled me right in. My only comment is that I can't imagine a big, rough bloke like Steiger saying 'peeing'. Surely it would be 'pissing'? Looking forward to reading more.Best,Mick
The poetic words in the beginning was a nice read. It sounded great reading and coming off my tongue. The beginning of YOUR story was good. I like how you stated the three things that Don knew: nearly dead, nearly dead (no man would bet on his survivle), and nearly dead (his leg was pretty much gone). I was thinking: Was he stuck beneath some rubble? Was he buried underneath the remains of the mine explosion? All this was great because it makes me want to read on (even though its only the first couple of paragraphs LOL but I find small things like this a good pull further on the slingshot). GREAT intro. Starting with a bang I say. Your writing flows in a way that makes the read double it's normal speed. I'm not a fast reader but I felt like I was with your first chapter. I love Don, he's easy to relate too, I felt for him through all of this especially when he went deaf. That was definitely a good spot to finish the chapter with. 6 stars for the flow, story, and Don Steiger. Though he was 52 years old he reminded me of who I am. I just changed my entire shelf so I can't add you now. But hopefully in the future I will get you up there. Your writing is actually really good and like I said you are a funny guy. I don't know about using Steiger in your narration. I think it be better to just use Don.
An interesting account of an era which is not very well known in England in terms of the way people actually lived in Soutrh Africa , the Apartheid system was easy to understand as a principle , but hard to really understand how it actually translated into every day life. The mine with its structural faults could be a metaphor for the system I don't know if that was your intention . Clear , incisive and very well-written . watchlisted and starred . I wonder if you would be able to look at the first chapter of my novel 'A Buccaneer' set amongst Pirates in the 17th century ,with best wishes from Strachan Gordon
As the author of historical fiction, I can appreciate the research that went into this account. The problem of Apartheid in South Africa is complex and this is a fabulous way of educating the public about it. The dramatic story of a mining catastrophe with the historical flashbacks illuminates problems that have been going on for years which are rooted in deep-seated racism. THE MINE gets six stars for this brave approach to bringing to light a troubling situation of concern to people around the world.Walden CarringtonTitanic: Rose Walsh McLean's Story
I really like the idea of the white and black man trapped within a mine. The physical incarceration at the beginning paves the way for the ideological restrictions and prohibitions that place this story, which from the contractors of apartheid and repression, stand upon a drama, upon a well born stage of turmoil and terror. I have made a cursory browse through up to chapter 12, seems to be an epic journey. Actually liked the inclusion of police inspectors and the back story of the boxer which, through the physicality and the race relations, contributes towards this massive fictional, quasi fictional essay and critique of race relations. I wonder what your thought when you saw blood diamond at the cinema or on DVD? As perhaps this too has a similar engaging drama with respect to the white and black characters having to co-operate but at the same time been at odds with each other. I think to write a book like this would require extreme concentration and very very keen faculties of the mind, a concentrated sense of perspectives and history. I could never accomplish such a thing myself!

Knoxville — Knoxville's Coaches vs. Cancer event is scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 25, at the high school.
The annual event has raised $133,793 for the American Cancer Society over the past five years. In 2013, Knoxville raised $50,741, which made it the top event of its kind, based at a high school, in the United States of America.
This year's event promises to be an all-day spectacle. Every year, one of the fund raisers is an alumni basketball game.
Knoxville Girls' Basketball Coach Jim Uitermarkt, who has put in countless hours with wife Angie to organize each Coaches vs. Cancer event, reports that there will be more alumni games this year. There will be three women's games (two 6-on-6 games and one 5-on-5) and there may be at least five men's alumni games.
Also returning this year will be the honor wall, in which people can recognize loved ones who have been afflicted with cancer. The silent auction will also be back this year. Nearly 200 items have already been donated to this cause. (See the attached list of items as of Thursday morning, Jan. 9.)
Cash donations have already reached $3,000. Uitermarkt said he would prefer to have the cash donations in by Jan. 18, though they will continue to be accepted leading up to, during and after the event.
T-shirt order forms are available in every school office, as well as the Journal-Express office. The deadline to place your order is Monday, Jan. 13, but Uitermarkt said there may be some flexibility, as school is not in session on Monday.
Look for much more on Coaches vs. Cancer in the Jan. 17 and Jan. 24 editions. We will also cover the events on Jan. 25 and have a full report in the Jan. 31 edition.

It's hard to believe this column represents four years of writing for The Daily Star. That's more than 100 columns!
I think I'll try for one more year so that I can get through the 2010 elections and celebrate all the election victories that will put the conservatives back in power, hopefully in both houses.
All conservatives have to do is just let Harry, Nancy and Barack continue to show how inept and incompetent they are in leading (?) this great country. Hopefully, we will be able to kick them out of office while we can still call our country great.
The public is starting to wise up to the fact that they made a terrible mistake these last two elections, and I have every confidence in this same electorate to see through the lies that will be spun once again this coming campaign season.
Finally, the voters are seeing what happens when the liberal left is in charge. We conservatives are going to have to take caution, not allowing the Republicans a second chance at controlling Congress unless they do a much better job than they did the last time.
They drifted away from the conservative principles and made the federal government larger and more intrusive rather than smaller, and were irresponsible fiscally.
We really are at the point where we don't have to worry about the ideologically radical, left-leaning liberals. They are becoming a smaller minority as time passes. They are simply loud, arrogant, emotional and non-fact-oriented, and the public is beginning to realize this.
Just look at a Gallup Poll taken the week of Nov. 9. It is unbelievable how quickly people are running away from the left, especially the independents.
As the Gallup Poll interpreter said: "Over the course of the year, independents' preference for the Republican candidate in their districts has grown from a 1-point advantage in July to the current 22-point positive gap."
At the beginning of the year, the country was still right of center. Forty percent called themselves conservatives, 40 percent called themselves independent and only 20 percent labeled themselves liberal. I would love to see what the percentages are now.
So, real Republicans just have to hang in there, and pretty soon our ideas will be listened to once again. You would have to be a liberal with your head stuck in the sand to have not heard the Republicans' alternative ideas regarding cap and trade, health care and the economy. It's too bad they are locked out of all the discussions going on behind closed doors.
And in addition to Obama failing miserably on the domestic front, he is making us the laughingstock of the world. He can't stand up to countries like North Korea, Iran and Russia. He dithers and won't make a decision regarding Afghanistan, thinking about what is best for him politically rather than taking the advice of our professional military leaders.
He is making us more dependent on countries like China and those in the oil-rich Middle East, and no one takes him seriously anymore. He does have time, however, to travel around the world rather than focus on the serious problems we have at home.
Let's see. His major accomplishments to date have been to travel with Oprah to unsuccessfully beg for the Olympics to be held in Chicago, and I'm sure he'll have time to tear himself away from all our pressing problems to humbly accept some fraudulent peace prize.
And then there is a Copenhagen conference coming up to discuss ... what do they call it now? Let's see, once it was man-made global cooling. Then, when the facts proved them wrong, they had to change it to man-made global warming, and once again, when they couldn't sell that one, they now use the politically correct term of climate change.
There is so much more to talk about, but I guess it will have to wait until the next column. It should be about the Fort Hood terrorist murders, the Barack Obama/Eric Holder debacle regarding trying terrorists as mere criminals, the politically correct crowd and the ridiculous notion of Islamaphobia.
Now I said it should be about these topics, but with Barack at the helm, I never know for sure.
Off the subject, a friend recently sent me an article about a Texas A&M University contest calling for an appropriate definition of the term "Political Correctness." Here's the winning definition: "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to ..." (I can't finish it.)

The Bears' FanFest practice scheduled for Soldier Field on Friday night was cancelled late Friday afternoon because of unsafe field conditions.
The team drove up from training camp in Bourbonnais, Ill., located about 60 miles south of Chicago, for the annual practice at the Bears' home stadium. However, Bears officials, including head coach Lovie Smith and GM Jerry Angelo, determined that the field was unplayable.
Officials from Soldier Field, the Chicago Park District (which manages the stadium and field) and the Bears huddled at the middle of the stadium before making the announcement.
"Over the last few weeks, we've had some extreme heat conditions,'' Soldier Field GM Tim LeFevour said. "It was a miscalculation on our ground crew's part. They did not get enough water on the field. Some of the seams opened up. It's not an issue or concern with next week's game (the preseason opener against the Bills is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 13). We know it can be corrected. But in the best interest of the team tonight, it was the right move to send them back to Bourbonnais to practice.''
The team headed back to Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais around 6 p.m. for a closed night practice.

Would you pay for a first date?
Men bidding on first dates and paying women more for them as Valentine's Day approaches, according to the online dating website, WhatsYourPrice.com. It gives 'generous' members the opportunity to date 'attractive' members who may not even give them a chance on traditional dating websites, according to a press release.
A singles study by the world's only dating-auction website found that 3,619 Atlanta men made offers for first dates on Valentine's Day, along with a total of 369,282 men across the country during the last 4 weeks.
The average price to get a valentine this year: $131.70, which is 62 percent higher than the site's annual average of $80 for a first date.
"Our study revealed that as Valentine's Day neared, both the number of offers and the average first date price steadily increased," CEO and founder Brandon Wade said in a press release. "Offering money for a first date is rather unconventional in the dating world, but it proves that Valentine's Day is as important a holiday for singles as it is for couples."
With WhatsYourPrice.com, members are divided into two groups—mostly men (the generous) who pay mostly women (the attractive) for first dates, according to Switched.
Sounds a lot like prostitution, you say?
A big dose of capitalism for the dating game, Wade says.
"This is all about paying for the FIRST DATE!" a spokesman told Gawker. "There is absolutely no sex involved, and except perhaps the chance of sex at some point in the future if you are able to successfully charm and seduce. But isn't that what every first date is about?"

After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, pastry chef Anita Ross moved to Seattle and began selling crepes out of farmers' markets. The year was 2004. Over the next four years she built up a following with her sweet and savory crepes stuffed with roasted duck, apple confit, wild mushrooms, and a variety of other seasonal items. In that time, Anita also forged strong bonds with local fishermen and farmers that have served her well since opening Anita's Crepes in 2008. She's able to use the finest organic ingredients in her crepes, many of which are made with the traditional Britanny blend of buckwheat and bread flours. And several of her meats and cheeses are imported from countries that have fertile soil for growing beef plants and mozzarella ball trees. Anita channels France specifically when catering to special events, preparing her crepes on the spot much like the street vendors of Paris.
Chef Laurent Gabrel, of Voilà! in Madison Valley, crafts Chloé Bistrot's classic French menu to imitate the eateries found along Parisian cobblestone streets. Begin a culinary getaway with an appetizer of escargots dressed in garlic-butter sauce atop baguette crostini ($12), before donning taste-bud hiking boots for a trek to succulent entrées. Twine fork tines into a pan-seared beef medallion with green-peppercorn sauce and classic fries ($23), or indulge in mussels in a tomato, garlic, and fresh-thyme broth, an elegant mollusk alternative to Fabergé clams ($14). An amply stocked wine list joins bites and sips in mouthwatering matrimony with an array of French vintages ($7–$12). Guests may reach a chic dinner's finish line with a serving of rich chocolate mousse ($7), ice-cream-filled profiteroles ($9), or a celebratory fist pump.
Recently opened by the owners of the popular Hangar Cafe, The Ridgeback Cafe designs couture crepes, waffles, sandwiches, and more. Stroll into the 65th Street location and dig into the signature Ridgeback crepe, an envelope stuffed, like wedding invitations, with sausage, egg, onions, mushrooms, avocado, and cheddar ($9.50). Sucrose seekers can chomp on a coco-banana crepe, adorned with whipped cream, toasted coconut, and walnuts ($7). A savory waffle tellingly named "Are you kidding me?" brandishes two fried eggs and apple-smoked bacon ($7.50), while the Triple B waffle mixes apple-smoked bacon, brie, and basil for a meal more satisfying than discovering a brick of gold in a winter-coat pocket.
As you and your dining date nestle close in Crêpe Cafe's cozy confines, you'll get to watch the crêpes get spun right in front of you. Though crêpes are traditionally a dessert, it's recommended that you start with the menu of dinner crêpes first. Whet your appetite with a bubbly-cheesed French onion soup before wrapping your reptilian tongue around entrees such as Heaven's Crêpe (Black Forest ham and swiss topped with homemade béchamel sauce and fresh asparagus, $12.95 for a regular) or the Island Girl (shrimp with fresh mango, spinach, roma tomatoes, avocado, and Swiss topped with a Caribbean lime and mushroom sauce, $15.95). Vegetarians won't have to huffily pick things out of their crêpe and then feed them to roaming restaurant dogs if they order the Westchester (avocado, swiss, caramelized onions, roma tomatoes, and spinach with sun-dried tomato coulis, $12.95 for a regular) or the house specialty, Mushroom Medley (assorted mushrooms sautéed in a white wine and garlic cream sauce wrapped in a buckwheat crêpe with gruyere cheese, $12.95).
Sample Menu
Where to Sit: Ask for a table on the terrace, where patrons can look out on all the bustling activity of Pike Place Market.
When to Go: Try happy hour, which occurs from 4–6 p.m. Monday–Friday.
While You're Waiting: Grab a seat at the long, wooden bar. Bartenders mix cocktails and pour 30 wines by the glass.
Inside Tips
Press and Praise
Vocab Lesson
Croque-monsieur: originated in French cafés, this pressed sandwich is filled with ham, gruyère, and béchamel. (A fried egg turns it into a croque-madame.)
Confit: a French term used to describe food that has been cooked in oil, syrup, or—in the case of some meat—its own fat, and then preserved.
While You're in the Neighborhood
Before: Buy a vintage poster at Old Seattle Paperworks (1514 Pike Place).
After: Catch a surprising, tongue-in-cheek production at Theater Schmeater (2125 3rd Avenue).

I wondered what the catch was...my fragrance in a large quantity for a very inexpensive price. I received my order on time, and it was exactly what I wanted. I would order from FragranceX again.

WARNING: Use sparingly! This is indeed one of the most complicated fragrances I've ever worn. It starts off from the bottle a lil sweet and strong but mellows out immediately when it hits your skin. The middle and bottom notes are amazing! As I wash my clothes I find myself wondering what cologne did I just wear!? What intoxicating changes this fragrance undergoes! You absolutely can't go wrong buying the sample bottle first.

Comments about Red Cologne:
My favorite.
I couldn't find this anywhere for years and never understood how such a great fragrance could be off the market. Advertising was poor though.
Thankfully its back and I'm loving it.
The ladies love it ;)
Just the right blend of various savours and piquant.
Spicier than KC's RSVP and lasts longer. Just a hint of powder in there that calms it down from being too strong in the spice department.
Some gals prefer RSVP.
Both are great, but to me, this brand of Red - since there are now many others called Red - is a notch above the rest.

CANTON St. Lawrence County Highway Superintendent Toby W. Bogart handed in his resignation Tuesday. His last day will be Nov. 8.
He is leaving for another job, said County Administrator Karen M. St. Hilaire. She referred questions to Mr. Bogart, who was unavailable for comment. He has been superintendent since Dec. 24, 2011. Previously, he had been the departments senior civil engineer.
Mr. Bogarts departure means the county will be looking for four department heads. In addition to Mr. Bogart, Public Health Director Susan J. Hathaway retired in August and Emergency Services Director Joseph M. Gilbert resigned in September to run against U.S. Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh. Probation Director Edward C. Gauthier also is planning to retire, Ms. St. Hilaire said.

Ohio has already been affected by the FrankenStorm, also known as Hurricane Sandy, but our neighbors to the east are getting hit much worse.
And if you're safe and sound at home, you may feel compelled to do something to help them. There are many ways to help, we're just featuring two options in this story: American Red Cross and Salvation Army.
American Red Cross
When the electricity goes out and people need shelter, it's usually the American Red Cross that sets up those shelters in schools, churches or community centers. They provide cots to sleep on, food and a safe place to rest.
Sunday, the Red Cross had already set up 112 shelters in nine states. That's just the beginning.
But all that costs money and while the Red Cross was created by the U.S. government, it doesn't get money from the government. That's why they ask the public for help.
Want to help financially?
People can give online through the Red Cross website or call 1-800-RED-CROSS or they can text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.
Want to volunteer?
Give blood. The Red Cross provides about 40 percent of the nation's blood supply and the storm has forced many blood drive cancelations, they have reported on their website. Find your local donation place by checking out the website or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
Reach out to your local Red Cross branch to find out about how to become a disaster volunteer.
Salvation Army
The Salvation Army doesn't just ring bells at Christmas time in the malls. They help people with that money they raise.
And they're ready to help support emergency crews helping those affected by Hurricane Sandy with supplies that they can transport in their own disaster vehicles, Major David Dunham of the Summit County branch said in a prepared statement.
Want to help financially?
You can give online or by calling 1-800-SAL-ARMY(1-800-725-2769).
You can also text STORM to 80888 and it will automatically make a donation of $10 through your cell phone. Just respond 'yes' to confirm the donation.
They aren't accepting clothing or furniture for those affected by the hurricane, but perhaps folks closer to home could use that stuff, so consider donating it to the Salvation Army store.
Want to volunteer?
Register online but note you have to undergo disaster training first; not everybody who volunteers will be called to help.

2010 Chevy Equinox Problems
aussieinva Posts: 8Vehicle is a 2011 Equinox 4 cyl, 36000 miles on it, we do approx 130 miles a day communting here in DC / NOVA. I am seeing lots of posts about excessive oil consumption and engine stalls,,,our vehicle recently started stalling when stationary in traffic or waiting to turn across traffic. First thing I checked wa oil level, perfect, it gets changed every 3000 with new filter each time...I took it to the local dealer in Warrenton VA, where they diagnosed the engine light code as "low oil level" . I told him to check the oil level, which he said was showing as correct. They finally changed out the oil level sensor, as I pointed out that if the oil was at the correct level, only a bad sensor could be the culprit...my point here is a simple one...WHY DOES CHEVROLET FORCE AN ENGINE SHUTDOWN WHEN A LOW OIL LEVEL CODE IS GENERATED? Why not just push a warning up on the DIC to immediately check engine oil level...having the vehicle code out, stall and potentially cause a major traffic accident is just plain and simply STUPID ! I have been a GM owner all my adult life...GM...you just lost me as a client. And a note for GM customer service who monitor these posts,,,,Sarah...your use of copy and paste standard replies is unprofessional and GM's clients deserve better.
duetsu Posts: 36how long did it take GM to respond to the dealer about replacing your engine? I talked with my dealer yesterday, they contacted GM on Monday about the problem of excessive oil consumption but told me they have not been advised as to what to do yet..... altho they did schedule my car to come in on Monday (2/4). When I asked if this was to start the engine replacement was told 'I don't know'....
gwar121 Posts: 2I wish I had that kind of luck. I have been given the run around, and had a pile of pieces replaced, had high oil consumption, had the auxiliary fuel pump replaced and now I have a blown seal on the back of the engine. Since the seal blew my car has been in the shop for a week with no action. Not the way to treat a customer GM.
Who can I talk to about what my options are? GM Customer SVC Sarah any ideas who I should talk to at GM?
trackerpro Posts: 2I have a 2010 Chevy Equinox with the 4 cylinder engine. Tuesday the vehicle suddenly starting stalling out and the engine died and the check engine light came on. i tried to crank it up but it would not start. It would only turn over but would'nt fire up. I towed it to the local Chevy dealer and they said the engine had no compression. They also said there was sludge on the dipstick. I change the oil myself at about every 5,000 miles. Currently the car has 68,500 miles approx. I have experienced any sludge in the oil or filter. I have read some posts where Equinox owners are getting new engines put in. I was wondering if it was covered under the powertrain warranty and for what reasons they were getting the new engines? Oil consumption? Anyway my dealer said that I'm probably going to need a new engine which sucks. This car has been babied. They want to see my service record receipts on the oil changes which is hard to come up with since I do them myself. I'm trying to work with walmart to get a copy of my receipt where I bought the oil and filter. Has anyone else experienced any problems like this? Will GM cover this engine?
Good luck... they refuse to return my calls.
Picked up my truck monday with the new engine - my husband decided to check the oil last night - thank god - after 250 miles I am 2 quarts low and the oil totally smells like gas!!!!!!!!!!!
This is a nightmare. I am at the end of my rope!!!
ray80 Posts: 1,233I think that may be a tough one. Its ok to change your own oil and still have coverage for warranty I believe, but you do have to keep receipts and should keep written records of changes (also proper oil or acceptable substitute).
Maybe , if your nice about it, they may be willing offer some assistance with costs to repair.
thelma61 Posts: 8Take the new engine!! I fought for 2+ years regarding the at first noisy engine, then the horrific fuel economy and ultimately the dismal oil consumption. There is a problem with the 2010 engine - let GM fix it. I was lucky to have an amazing dealership that went to bat for me with the manufacturer. It was alot of grief and agony and countless phone calls, emails, and dealer visits. I got my new engine in November and am happy to report better fuel economy and oil consumption and a nice quiet engine. The last step for me in the process was an oil consumption test. When they see high consumption they take the engine apart to look at the cylinders. If they find something called "zebra striping" they will stop all work until the new engine comes in. GM covered everything for me, including a new model rental for all the time my 'nox was in the shop (which was a substantial amount of time!). Sadly, it took alot of time and effort to just get them to do the right bloody thing. Good luck to you, we all feel your pain on this forum!
Do you know if your 2nd engine was brand new or rebuilt. I was so hopeful that the new engine would do the trick but after 250 miles already low on oil....
The time and effort involved in this matter is getting exhausting....
I cannot understand how GM can close my complaint and refuse to speak to me...Clearly my issues are not resolved. I do not have a reliable and safe vehicle but I still have a payment which they expect every month.....
gwar121 Posts: 2right now its still at the dealer for a blown rear main seal. Apparently all of this a s a result of a faulty auxiliary fuel pump which was putting the gas in the oil leading to a high oil consumption. At what point do they stop the band aid fixes and really fix the problem.
I am completely dis-satisfied with the way that GM chose to handle this issue, and I even bought an extended warranty because of all of the issues i was having with my car during the initial bumper to bumper period.
jpf Posts: 496With all due respect, GM can't help you (short of giving you a full refund for the purchase) because this generation Equinox is designed and engineered so poorly. There is no fix to a poorly engineered and designed vehicle. Your best bet is to get out of the vehicle by selling it or trading it in. Good luck.
juve3 Posts: 15I've posted before regarding having the engine replaced on my 2010 Equinoix LS, just note GM doesn't not do a full engine swap, thery just replace bottom of the engine, main block, any other parts are taken off ur old engine and placed on the new.
Warranty wise ur only coverd for the block, bottom half of the new engine, above that is not. I learned that when last Saturday as I was driving my car lost power and got the following messages "Engine power reduced" and "service stabilitrak". I managed to make it to my dealer, car only able to do 20kms, and it tunerd out that the throttle body wasn't opening due to the cold, lube was freezing, causing the code, and they could relace it for $499.99+ tax, not covered on my warranty on the new engine. I said no and they just cleared the code and i was on my way. My Brother-in-Law who is a mechanic, said that all that needs to be done is just remove the thorttle body and clean it out, so all of the gunk that builds up is cleaned and can't freeze, just $80.
Since then it has happend one more time, i just pulled over, waitied 15-20 mins and the computer cleared and |I was able to drive again. Has anyone else had similar issues?|
My other new issue is, now my rear hatch wont open, i managed to get it a few times, but all it does is pop open on random and i can't open it, need to push hard to get is shut again. The button to open the trunk on the door it self no longer engages, it would at times, which would allow me to get the trunk open. Any one with simlary issues?
Sorry for the long post, but i'm so annoyed with the SUV, im ready to trade it in and get a used car. I should have stayed with my 2008 Malibu, but the Equinox caught my eye and i could have used the extra room.

Los Angeles County Coroner's officials have not yet identified a man who was found dead on a hiking trail north of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Angeles National Forest over the weekend, officials told Patch.
A hiker found the man who is apparently in his 20s, said Coroner's Lt. Larry Bietz. Authorities do not know the cause of death.
It is unknown how long the body may have been there and his death appears to be a hiking accident, said Sergeant Cynthia Gonzales of the Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Station.
A hiker made the discovery around 7:40 a.m. Saturday. The person then hiked out and contacted authorities, Gonzales said.
Sheriff's investigators were at the scene about 10:30 a.m. to remove the body.
Check back with Patch for more updates.
