Falling In Love With 'Norumbega Park'
When Richie Palumbo drives past the house in Norumbega, Mass., he knows instantly that he and his family are meant to live there. It couldn't be more different than their modest home in the Boston suburbs — it's almost a mansion, three stories, painted green and yellow. His wife objects — it's well out of their price range and away from their friends — but Richie won't be moved. He gives into the "feeling that resembles first love, the completion of a thing already started long ago."
Norumbega Park, the beautiful, audacious fifth novel from author and playwright Anthony Giardina, follows the lives of Richie and his family for 40 years after they move into his dream house. His wife, Stella, unhappy with the move at first, learns to make the house and its garden her own, even as her relationship with Richie grows distant and tenuous. Their son, Jack, restless and impatient, moves to New York and embarks on a series of inadvisable sexual relationships; while his shy, reclusive sister, Joan, moves to a convent and becomes a Catholic nun.
Giardina is a master of prose that's engaging but never seems rushed — he covers four decades in just over 300 pages. But his pacing remains natural and unhurried. His characters are as emotionally rich and complex as any you'll find in the novels of Richard Ford, John Updike and Richard Yates, each of whom seems to have been an influence on Giardina.
Like Updike, he deals with some uncomfortable themes — much of Norumbega Park deals with the delicate, sometimes awkward intersection of family and sexuality — but he handles them beautifully. And while many authors reflexively lapse into despair and pessimism, Giardina sticks with a truer kind of realism. Things might be bad; they might even be worse than they seem; but there's always at least a chance of redemption. It's present in a voice that Stella hears as she deals with her own nagging conscience: "There is something that exists after guilt. Something important. Listen to it." Norumbega Park is a novel about, and against, hopelessness.
While great novelists are unafraid to tackle any number of complicated subjects, there is, perhaps, nothing more difficult to write about than families. In the worst of times, they can break your heart with their imperfectness and impermanence. Even in the best, they can almost destroy you with feelings of guilt and unworthiness — as Giardina puts it, "the way love was offered when you felt you least deserved it, despised yourself the most, how you had to rise to it."
There are countless emotional pitfalls authors can fall into, but Giardina has avoided every one, and the result is majestic — Norumbega Park is one of the bravest, most memorable American novels in years.

Thursday Night, June 21, 2007
and Minor League Update
Tonight the Twins start their final interleague series with a three game series in Miami against the Florida Marlins. Here are the pitching matchups:
Tonight - 6:05 p.m. - Boof Bonser (5-3, 4.33, 1.53, .274) vs Scott Olsen (5-6, 4.89, 1.58, .281)
Saturday - 6:05 p.m. - Carlos Silva (4-8, 4.20, 1.42, .298) vs Josh Johnson (0-1, 9.82, 3.55, .474)
Sunday - 12:05 p.m. - Johan Santana (7-6, 2.91, 1.05, .218) vs Dontrelle Willis (7-6, 4.90, 1.58, .285)
Need any more proof of how unimportant the W-L record is for a starting pitcher? Notice that Johan Santana and Dontrelle Willis are both 7-6 on the season. Santana is absolutely dominating the rest of the numbers. You know, the numbers that actually tell how well a pitcher is pitching. It is uncertain whether Willis will actually pitch on Sunday or not. Minneapolis-born Josh Johnson's numbers sure don't look very good right now, do they? Well, he is just coming off of his first start of the year. Very small sample size.
Nick Nelson previews the Twins/Marlins series.

Minor League Updates
Taylor's Twins Talk discusses the five Twins minor leaguers that most deserve a promotion.
Grade Eduardo Morlan here.
Thursday SethSpeaks Player of the Day – Trevor Plouffe, New Britain Rockcats
Thursday SethSpeaks Pitcher of the Day – Matt Garza, Rochester Red Wings
Thursday - Red
4, Columbus
0 –
Earlier in the day it was announced that Matt Garza would be
the Twins lone representative in the Futures Game. And then he went
out and threw seven zeroes on the scoreboard. Garza gave up just
four hits. He walked two and struck out six to improve to 4-6 and
drop his ERA to 3.41. Tommy Watkins, Trent Oeltjen and
Denard Span were each 2-3. Alexi Casilla was 1-3 with
a walk.
Thursday - Rockcats
0, New Hampshire 2
– Kyle Waldrop pitched
wonderfully in this game and an unearned run unfortunately dropped
his record to 1-4 with the Rockcats. Waldrop went the first six
innings. Despite giving up ten hits, Waldrop gave up only that
unearned run. He walked one and struck out three. JP Martinez
came in and gave up only an unearned run over the final three
innings. Trevor Plouffe went 2-3 with a walk. He stole his
8th base, and then he got caught for the 7th time. Brock Peterson
went 2-4 with his 14th double.
Thursday - Miracle 9, Sarasota 7
Jay Rainville made another start. Unfortunately, he went just
3.1 innings and gave up six runs (5 earned) on seven hits. He walked
one and struck out two. Adam Hawes made his first Miracle
appearance. He was perfect for 2.2 innings including three
strikeouts. Alexander Smit gave up a run on three hits and a
walk in his inning, and he got the win, his first of the year.
Eddie Morlan got his 10th save by pitching two scoreless
innings. Dwayne White went 3-5. Matt Betsill went 2-4
with a walk and two RBI. Erik Lis went 2-4. Steven
Tolleson went 1-4 with two walks.
Opponent Note - Sarasota's
Jeremiah Piepkorn went 2-5 with his 11th double, a homer
(his fifth) and four RBI in this game.
The 26 year old started the season with Sarasota, moved up to AA
Charlotte and went 3-19 with a solo homer. He is now hitting
.293/.327/.469 for Sarasota. Why do I mention a 26 year old in the
Florida State League? Well, Piepkorn is a native of Wadena,
Minnesota, a small town in central Minnesota, about 25 miles from
where I grew up. He then went to North Dakota State University. He
was signed by the Reds as an undrafted free agent in 2004.
Thursday - Snappers 3, Peoria 1
– In their first game of the
second half, Tyler Robertson was the starter. The lefty got
his second win by giving up just a run on five hits in six innings.
He walked four and struck out six. Dan Leatherman gave up
just a hit over two innings. Robert Delaney recorded his 23rd
save with a perfect ninth. It dropped his ERA to 0.46. The Snappers
managed just four hits. Brian Dinkelman hit his 7th homer.
Wilson Ramos hit his fourth homer. Chris Parmalee drove
in the other run with his fifth triple. Danny Valencia added
the other hit, his 14th double.
Thursday - E-Twins 15
No Game Scheduled.
Thursday - GCL Twins 2, GCL Reds 6
– The GCL Twins managed just
two hits in this game, singles by David Hernandez and
James Beresford. Thomas Wright made the start. He gave up
three runs (2 earned) on four hits. He walked four and struck out
four. Santos Arias then struck out two in a scoreless inning.
Jakub Toufar went the next three innings. He gave up three
runs (2 earned) on seven hits and a walk. Jose Acosta walked
one and struck out one in one inning.
Do you have any further thoughts on any Twins prospects, minor leaguers, or these summaries? E-mail me, or also feel free to leave comments below.
That is it for today. Have a great day!

Thread: Steering Issues
Steering Issues
I have an 82 K10 4x4. Most of the time it drives straight as an arrow. I can usually let go of the steering wheel on a straight, smoothe road and it wont veer off to one side or the other. But, occasionally after I make a right turn it will just jerk pretty violently back and forth out of nowhere and it's hard to control. Today after I made a right turn it jerked a couple times and then I had to hold the steering wheel like i was making a right turn just to keep the truck STRAIGHT! Anybody have any ideas? This thing has felt like a death trap the last couple of days.
-1982 K10 Pickup AKA "Big Red" -
07-14-2010, 07:22 PM #2Do you have a steering stabilizer on it now?
If not might want to add one, if you do check to see it isnt worn out.
Also check the pitman arm and steering gear box for excessive wear.
07-15-2010, 02:12 PM #3I got under there yesterday and pretty much ALL of the bushings are worn out on everything under there. Any idea how much that would cost to take in and have replaced? I dont really have the knowledge or the proper tools to safely take all of that stuff apart. I'd like to leave it to a professional. My steering isn't something I really want to mess around with without the right tools.
-1982 K10 Pickup AKA "Big Red" -
07-16-2010, 07:03 AM #4Have you ever had your steering come apart while traveling down the road? I have. More than once even. This can cause tons of damage, personal injury or even death. Park it and fix it.
By the way you probably have all the tools needed. You may need to buy a large/heavy hammer and two sizes of tuning forks, (joint separators).But that's fairly cheap.
It's far less technical than replacing cylinder heads, but a whole lot more physical. Follow instructions in your repair manual and you'll be fine. Just expect this to take an entire day.
I recently paid our local shop $580.00 for upper and lower ball joints on a company truck, (both sides). That was a bargain.
I've got a lot of experience with your series of truck, and I think your gonna need about everything there is up front.
The good news is that once your finished your good for another 10 to 20 years.
Half the battle with any job is confidence. So go ahead and tackle it.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Google and Motorola Mobility plan to file for pre-closing antitrust clearances for the merger of Motorola with a Google subsidiary in a number of jurisdictions including Canada, China, Israel, Russia, Taiwan and Turkey, in addition to filings in the U.S. and before the European Commission.
The companies have already filed for clearance to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice on Aug. 29 under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and the request is still within the usual waiting period of 30 days, Motorola Mobility said in a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Tuesday.
The U.S. agencies can either allow an "early termination", or if either agency determines during the waiting period that further inquiry is necessary, it can in a "second request" call for additional information and documents beyond the waiting period.
Google said in August it entered into an agreement to acquire the mobile phone and tablet maker for about US$12.5 billion, to strengthen its patent portfolio.
Google will acquire Motorola through the merger of the company and RB98, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the acquisition, which will cease to exist after the merger, the filing said. Motorola will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google.
Fifteen putative class-action complaints challenging the proposed transaction have been filed against Motorola Mobility and its directors, according to the filing. Motorola Mobility and its directors intend to vigorously contest the allegations, it added.
The merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement were more favorable to Motorola Mobility stockholders than remaining independent or other strategic alternatives available to Motorola and its stockholders, because of ongoing risks Motorola faces in a historically volatile consumer-based industry with intense competition from highly successful competitors, short product cycles relying heavily on product execution, carrier and consumer demand, evolving technologies and ongoing intellectual property litigation, the filing said.
The filing also reveals further details of the behind-the-scene negotiations between the two companies, starting with Andrew Rubin, senior vice president of mobile at Google, contacting Sanjay Jha, chairman and chief executive officer of Motorola Mobility, in early July to request a meeting to discuss the purchase by some of Google's competitors of the patent portfolio of Nortel Networks and its subsidiaries in a June auction, and the possible impact of and potential responses to the purchase.
Nortel said in a statement in June that a consortium consisting of Apple, EMC, Ericsson, Microsoft, Research In Motion and Sony had emerged as the winning bidder in a multi-day auction of its remaining patents and patent applications.
The companies also discussed at subsequent meetings the impact of the Nortel auction, intellectual property litigation and the potential impact of such litigation on the Android ecosystem, options relating to Motorola's patent portfolio, and the potential sale of Motorola Mobility to Google.
Jha is said to have indicated to Nikesh Arora, senior vice president and chief business officer of Google, in a July 6 meeting that it could be a problem for Motorola Mobility to continue as a stand-alone entity if it sold a large portion of its patent portfolio.
On Aug. 1, Google sent a letter to the board of directors of Motorola Mobility proposing an acquisition of the company by Google for $30.00 in cash per share of Motorola Mobility common stock. Four days later, Motorola's financial advisors for the merger Qatalyst Partners, rejected the offer and suggested $43.50 per share. Google came back on Aug. 9 with an increased offer of $37 a share, according to the filing. Motorola in turn asked for $40.50, and Google responded the same day by letter with a new offer of $40 a share.
Google could not be immediately reached for comment.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
