Ebook readers with a light – which is the best?
Why do I need an ebook reader with a light?
Ebook readers come with e-ink screens which make them great for reading as they don't create eye strain like an LCD display. This is because instead of creating their own light source, they reflect existing light, so it's like reading a piece of paper.
However, this does mean you won't be able to read an ebook reader in the dark without a separate light source. But now the major names have all brought out their own e-ink models that come with a built-in lights to make bedtime reading that little bit easier – but which is the best?
For more information about what it takes to become a Which? Best Buy ebook reader, head to our how we test ebook readers page.
Ebook readers with lights – which models are best?
We put the three biggest names in ebooks head to head, comparing the lights on the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite, Barnes and Noble Nook with Glowlight and Kobo Glo. All three come with built-in lights, and we set them to maximum brightness to see how they compared.
This quick test just looked at the quality of the built-in light, but its also worth taking into account the resolution and contrast of the screen which will also make a difference when reading in low light. For a full verdict on each model read our ebook reader reviews.
Kobo Glo – the brightest and most even
Of the three ebook readers we looked at, we found the light on the Kobo Glo to be the brightest and also the most even. The light was more than bright enough to read by, and was evenly distributed throughout the screen, meaning there were no unevenly bright or dark spots which might distract the reader.
If anything we found the maximum brightness to be a bit too strong and when set to maximum could cause glare, particularly in complete darkness, but as with the other readers this can be easily adjusted. Having such a strong light could also potentially reduce battery life, so we wouldn't recommend using it at full brightness.
Amazon Kindle Paperwhite – a little patchy at the bottom
The Kindle was the second brightest of the three readers, and while the illumination seemed decent, we did find that it became a little patchy towards the bottom of the page. Four patches of darkness seemed to creep up from the casing, although in everyday use this is unlikely to cause much of a problem and you will still easily be able to read in the dark.
While it wasn't as bright as the Kobo Glo, it provided more than enough light to read and didn't cause a glare at its top brightness.
Barnes and Noble Nook with Glowlight – brighter at the edges
The final ebook reader was the Nook with Glowlight, and while this was the dullest of the lights it was still more than powerful enough to allow you to read comfortably .
We did find that the light wasn't even; it's noticeably brighter at the top of the page where the case and the screen meet. This isn't going to be much of a problem for users and won't prevent you reading, but it could offer a slight distraction.

One comment
Thank you for this review. I have had 4 Kindle Paperwhites, all of them had uneven multi-color blotches across the screen. 1 from Staples, 1 from Best Buy, and 2 from Amazon. Way too distracting.
I'm going to exchange them all. I ordered a Kobo Glo today from Powell's.

Is Raising a Child "Gender-Neutral" Harmful?
The problem with all of these ideas is that they make a false separation between the body and the "true self". If you aren't your body, then what are you? If the real you isn't your body, what happens to the real you when it doesn't have a body to hold it any longer? What is the body, if it isn't a part of you?
These questions and many more highlight the need we have for the theology of the body. There are clear answers.
Modern society has placed a litmus test upon the way in which we relate to one another: this test is basically one of function. The secular criteria of functionality has become commonplace in the way our society thinks of equality and if this is so, then we must probably conclude that the Church is archaic and sexist. But in the eyes of the Church, equality between men and women is based on something much more important than mere function. Our equality goes beyond mere function and takes us to the heart of humanity.
In the beginning, Adam was alone in his humanity and he knew something was missing. God also knew this and said, "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him" (Gen. 2:18). What we see here, is that Adam did not enjoy the full range of his human capacity for relationships with creation as it was. As a human, he needed something else to be complete. The "other" that gave him the full meaning of relationship was Eve. Thus, they are created for and ordered to one another.
An important note we must make about the creation narrative is that Adam was not referred to as "male" until there was a female to contrast with his maleness. As Pope John Paul II point out, prior to Eve, Adam is just "man" in the sense that is used to define all of humanity; that is, mankind as a whole in which gender is not even considered. Adam only takes on the masculinity that is part of his nature after Eve is created and she can then provide the femininity that is needed to give masculinity its meaning. In other words, without female, there is no male. God created this distinction between male and female and it is consequently a divinely instituted distinction.
What happened next in the Garden of Eden is what we have come to know as marriage. "Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh" (Gen. 2:24). Here, the dynamic of the relationship between man and woman changes. Now we not only have man and woman in the narrative, but we have husband and wife. This brings on a real change in both the relationship of Adam and Eve, and in Adam and Eve themselves. The two become one. They complement each other in the differences that they bear by their nature. But the two are not interchangeable. The woman cannot be husband and the man cannot be wife. To complete each other they first must realize that in their differences, they find what the other needs to be complete. Exactly the opposite happens in modern thought when, attempting to make man and woman equal, it ends up making them the same, thus denying precisely that which truly makes us equal, our reflection of the divine.
It is now becoming clearer why the Church has a view which seems to be in conflict with society - it is. According to a function-based definition of equality, the roles that a woman once had are now open for men to fulfill, and vice-versa. We each are capable of doing what everyone else "does" regardless of our nature. This then justifies such ideas as that women should be priests because women can do anything that a men can do as priests (proclaim the Gospel, wear vestments, give homilies, run parishes, and so on). But as we have seen, this way of thinking about humanity is a denial of the purpose in which God created us -- male and female. If we are able to be whatever we want, just by willing it, this boils down to a refutation of what God intends each of us to be.
If we as men and women seek to understand our differences, then we also must ask how our differences complement each other, and how we are tied to one another and to God.
If we side with society and the world-view that humanity is defined by function, then, for example, the unborn child has no rights since it cannot "do" anything, and more generally women and men are no longer distinguishable except by how we might function. But if we side with the Church and the sacramental view of humanity, then our dignity is tied to the fulfillment of our beings as found in each other and in the relationship that God created between men and women at the beginning. What does this criterion of equality based function end up doing to us? It means that we can never truly be equal; for true equality can only be found by acknowledging our differences and then finding that which transcends them.
It also means we shouldn't experiment on innocent children.

I've been thinking about this lately, and I find it interesting that the same people who decry that science is all you need are the same people who then say things like bodily parts are not important. It's inconsistent. Either biology matters or it doesn't. You can't uphold science in one case and then not when its not convenient for you. The same thing applies in discussions about what an abortion occurs to. Scientifically, it's undeniably a living human being in part of the normal human developmental cycle. But the most common argument you hear is "It's not alive, it's not human."
This is one reason why I'm so glad to be Catholic - our faith is so consistent within itself, in both faith and science/reason.

I wonder if the parents will potty train their child(ren). Wouldn't that be infringing our expectations and societal pressures on how to go to the bathroom? What if the girl wants to stand? Don't let biology get in the way!

Co-Investigator JHU NIMH Surrogate Markers Core
Professor of Pharmacology and Molecular Sciences, Johns Hopkins University
Dr Cotter received his doctoral degree from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Physical Chemistry. Dr Cotter's laboratory has been a leader in the development of time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry, including a tandem TOF with a curved-field reflectron for rapid peptide amino acid sequencing using high energy collisions.
The laboratory has also developed ion trap mass spectrometers, a combined ion trap/time-of-flight mass spectrometer, a miniaturized TOF for rapid identification of microorganisms based upon their proteomes, and is currently designing a low power ion trap mass spectrometer for Mars below-surface exploration. In collaboration with the Heng Zhu laboratory we have constructed protein microarrays for direct analysis by MALDI mass spectrometry imaging.
An effective procedure for N-terminal sulfonation4 enables de novo sequencing of proteins that is being used to elucidate ubiquitylation sites in proteins and ubiquitylating enzymes. As part of the Technical Center for Networks and Pathways (TCNP) of Lysine modifications, the laboratory has developed an approach for determining acetylation sites that has been used to investigate regulatory mechanisms in histone acetyl transferases (HATs)6,7 and a method for quantitating acetylation on specific histone sites using hyper-deuteroacetylation of unoccupied lysines that has been used to explore the role of sirtuins hst3 and Hst4p in yeast8 and to distinguish isoforms of hyperacetylated H3 and H4 tail regions in human HeLa cells. In a novel approach to biomarker discovery, supported by the NHLBI Center for Proteomics of Ischemia and Hypoxia, the laboratory is utilizing the albuminome, the proteins bound to albumin following albumin removal, to investigate potential clinically-useful indicators of heart disease.

Canadian Immigrant Awards opens call for nominations
Do you know an outstanding immigrant who deserves to be recognized?
If you do, you can nominate that person for the RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrant Awards of 2013, presented by Canadian Immigrant magazine and supported by the title sponsor, RBC Royal Bank, and associate sponsor, Chevrolet.
"What qualifies someone to be a Top 25 Canadian Immigrant? Any immigrant who has made the decision to embrace Canada and make it a better place," said Margaret Jetelina, editor of Canadian Immigrant magazine. "More than that, they are sources of great inspiration to others in this country, which is why we want you to nominate someone who inspires you."
The award is unique in that it allows Canadians to first nominate and then vote directly for individuals. More than 28,000 votes from across Canada were cast in the 2012 awards program.
Some of the winners from previous years include Olympic wrestler Daniel Igali, Dragons' Den's Robert Herjavec and politician Olivia Chow. Recently, Mississauga entrepreneur and philanthropist Aditya Jha — a recipient of the award in 2010 — was named a member of the Order of Canada.
Nominations can be made by visiting canadianimmigrant.ca/rbctop25 until Feb. 28. A panel of judges will review all nominees and present a list of 75 finalists who will be profiled online in March, after which all Canadians can vote for their favourite nominees.
The 25 winners will be announced in June, and will be recognized in Canadian Immigrant magazine, owned by the Metroland Media Group.
They will also receive a commemorative plaque and $500 toward a charity of their choice provided by RBC.
"Nominating someone as a top Canadian immigrant presents an opportunity to recognize role models who have encouraged and motivated others and applaud those who have made significant contributions to this country," said Paul Sy, director, multicultural markets at RBC. "The winners from previous years were nothing short of inspirational and we know there are many more immigrants who deserve recognition for giving back to Canada."

Rodriguez Cacatian, Evelyn (1988) Economics of Cropping Patterns of Farms in Palawan, Philippines. Masters thesis, Universiti Pertanian Malaysia.
This study was conducted to further the understanding on the cropping patterns practiced in Palawan, Philippines. Based on the concept that the farm and the farm household are interrelated and using various analytical techniques, the current cropping patterns, the availability and the efficiency of resource utilization were analysed and documented. Farm house holdsin the study are a were basically subsistence in nature since their gross income (cash and imputed) barely met the production and personal consumption needs of the farm household. However, they were observed to exhibit a considerable degree of market orientation in both input utilization and production. Fertilizer and hired labour constitute a greater proportion of the operating cost.Sales of annual crops constitute a greater proportion of the cash income and it was augmented with income from non-farm activities.

This is so weird for me. Since about 6 weeks, I have gagged at the thought of eating cake, cookies, frosting, chocolate, etc.
Before this pregnancy, I could eat frosting with a spoon and cake for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's so weird to have this aversion! anyone else?
My husband and I used to get cupcakes every saturday as a treat. I can't even stand the thought of them now. AND, my biggest (and sometimes only) food aversion is chocolate. I see people eating it and I'm thinking - how could you? That is so gross? Such a strange feeling.
Same here... I LOVED ice cream all the time... NOW it grosses me out
This! I miss Ben and Jerry.

How to Double Your iPhone's Battery Life
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I stopped and started several times before deciding to publish this article.
There's reason to have hesitated. One, I'm reluctant to write an article that reads like an ad for a product. Two, this isn't the type of article I typically write. Three, there's not much to say other than the answer to the question the title poses. And, four, I might be telling plenty of people something they already know.
But then I thought again ... if I didn't know about this, enough other folks likely exist who don't either, making it all worthwhile. Plus this is a big problem for a lot of people, if my Twitter feed serves as an any indication.
Battery life on Apple's (AAPL) iPhone. Namely iPhone 5. Depending on how you use your phone, it can leave a lot to be desired. Personally I have never had much of a problem, but enough people complain that one likely exists. From an investment perspective, some folks are bearish AAPL because they see Samsung and others passing Apple by.Generally speaking, you can get other smartphones with superior battery life. Some models let you swap batteries. And so on. I tend to discount these issues -- my long-term thesis notwithstanding -- as Apple remains present-day dominant. But, again, recurring beefs warrant attention. I dealt with more of a "charge" issue last week when I was traveling in the Northeast. I left my iPhone charger at TheStreet's office on Wall Street when I left Wednesday evening. Staying in Midtown Manhattan, I didn't want to go back to fetch it or trek to the Apple Store (even though it was quite close to my hotel); as such I was left without a charger and, headed into my Thursday Amtrak trip from Penn Station to Washington, D.C., with a dying phone. No big deal I figured. If I can't get a charge, I can live without the phone until I can bum a little white cord off of somebody. On the train, the gentleman seated next to me let me use his charger. That got me up to about 75%. But, by the time I arrived at my destination in DC, I was almost depleted.

Taking place not far from the Londa at the Municipal Gardens, the Limassol Wine Festival is on from 28 August to 7 September, and this year the programme exceeds all expectations!
Drink and be merry
A total of 18 wineries will take part in this year's wine festival, including the big Four ETKO, KEO, LOEL and SODAP, supported by 14 boutique wineries located in the Limassol and Paphos hillsides: Aes Ambelis Winery, Ayia Mavri Winery, Costas N.Eremoudes, Hadjiantonas Winery, Ktima Christoudia, Kyperounda Winery, Makkas Winery, N. Ignatiou & Sons Kalamos Winery, Nelion Winery, The Anama Concept, Tsiakkas Winery, Vlasides Winery, Vouni Panayia Winery and Zambartas Wineries.
The format is to buy a glass or a bottle and fill it with a taster from each of the wineries' most popular wines. As an added bonus, a free bottle of wine from your choice of the big Four also comes with your ticket price of just 6 euros. But although the wine is of course the main draw, there are so many other events going on over the 11 days, you will be able to enjoy something new every evening.
Song and dance
Opening on Thursday at 8pm, the Festival starts off with a bang with music from the Limassol Municipal Brass Band, the Ariones Choir and dance group Dionysos alongside inauguration speeches from the Mayor of Limassol and Minister of Energy, Commerce, Industry and Tourism Mr Yiorgos Lakkotrypis.
The week's events then spill out to the Garden Theatre, the Vraka Man statue area and the Tennis Court, presenting wine and rebetika songs, traditional Cyprus, Crete and Greek dance, and comedy, magic and theatre shows all from groups such as SKALA, the Cypriot Sign Language Club, Anatropes Theatre group and the Alexandra Dance Workshop amongst the 20 ensembles performing. And on the weekends for children, are 3 different comedic shadow puppet theatres. Of course, like every event to do with music and dance, the audience are encouraged to join in, learn new steps and enjoy the culture of Cypriot entertainment.
Extra extra!
The Wine Festival does not stop in the Municipal Gardens but rather spreads its message of mirth and merriment throughout the district. For art lovers, there is a painting and photographic exhibition themed on the 'Vineyard and the Wine' starting on 27 August at the Panos Solomonides Cultural Centre; for petrol-heads there is a parade of vintage cars from Lepal Classic Car Club driving through the Limassol town streets on 30 August; and for culture vultures there is the Erimi Wine Museum where 500 years of wine-making is told through authentic exhibits and lots of tasting!
The whole Festival is dedicated to wine and Cypriot culture where temporary restaurants set in the Gardens serve copious amounts of souvla, visitors can tread grapes in massive barrels and, as the evening progresses and the wine flows, the dancing gains momentum and the Festival becomes one huge party! As one of the main events of the Limassol calendar it is truly irresistible.
Limassol Wine Festival opens every evening from 7pm to 11pm at the Municipal Gardens. Adults: 6 euros, Teenagers (13-18 years old): 5 euros, children 12 and under: 4 euros. Ask at Londa Reception to book a taxi, and for the full programme click here.

Third Largest City in the UK
Leeds has a population of over 750,000 making it the 3rd largest city in the UK. It is located in the North of England and has a large university presence. It is well known to visitors from all around the UK and is served by excellent rail links from London and Manchester making it a perfect spot for a long weekend "away". In recent years the town has become a mecca for growing businesses and it is by far the largest commercial district in the North competing with Manchester and London. It has a long history dating back to the 5th century and combines fine architecture with modern buildings alike. The county of Yorkshire is blessed with glorious countryside and Leeds is one of the few large towns in the UK which has beautiful views of the countryside from almost every street in the City.
Skyscrapers and Traditional Mills
Leeds has a wide variety of landmarks both natural and purpose built. The open spaces of parkland include Leeds City Square and Victoria Gardens. If you prefer to enjoy the buildings then you won't do much better than the Town Hall or the Corn Exchange Market. To see some of the old working mills that are still immaculately maintained, head to Temple Works or Armley Mills for the best examples or if you prefer theological buildings you should visit the Kirkstall Abbey and Leeds Minster. For skyscrapers look out for one of the towns tallest building at over 350ft, The Bridgewater Place; also known as The Dalek due to its similarity to the out-of-space relics from the infamous Doctor Who television series. The other large skyscraper in the City is the Sky Plaza in the North of the city centre which is slightly higher than The Dalek.
Party with the Student Population
Like many of the top five cities in the UK, Leeds has a huge student population and is a hotspot for nightlife ranging from traditional pubs and bars to venues for live music. The Orbit and The Mint Club (both located in the city centre) have regularly been voted the top 10 best clubs in the UK. For a more varied selection of venues head to the Millenium Square or the Northern Quarter both of which provide lively indoor and outdoor entertainment. The square has a large outdoor screen and also hosts seasonal events such as the famous Christmas Market which runs for the four weeks of Advent and is based on the German Christmas Market theme.

In 2002, Oprah walked into Mrs. Faruta's kindergarten classroom with a special surprise for the beloved teacher: Mrs. Faruta was being sent to the spa for the day while 'Miss Winfrey' would take over her classroom duties. However, it turned out that hosting a daily talk show may have been a little easier than managing so many adorable children.

Check out Nate Jones' @JonesontheNBA Twitter timeline for some good Sunday conversation about how Kobe Bryant had to carry the pre-Pau Gasol Lakers.
He got me digging out my 2005-06 NBA MVP ballot to see how I voted:
It was widely assumed Nash would win -- and he did -- but Bryant finished fourth in the actual results:
Even though Bryant had 22 first-place votes to James' 16 and Nowitzki's 14, Bryant finished fourth because he was left toward the bottom of or left entirely off so many ballots. Bryant averaged 35.4 points on 45 percent field-goal shooting -- plus 5.3 rebounds, 4.5 assists and 1.8 steals. It was the eighth-highest scoring average in NBA history.
It was Phil Jackson's first season back coaching Bryant. The supporting cast was Lamar Odom (14.8 points per game), Smush Parker (11.5), Chris Mihm (10.2), Brian Cook (7.9), Kwame Brown (7.4) and Devean George (6.3). They went 45-37 and made the playoffs ... and pushed Nash's Suns to a 3-1 deficit in the first round before losing the last three, including an overtime Game 6.

Make it happen!contribute now
Washington state law requires owners of abandoned or derelict vessels to pay the full costs of removing or disposing of the problem boats, but owners rarely do.
he Washington Department of Ecology is developing a new permit that lays out clear rules for the deconstruction of derelict vessels over water. Currently, any approved dismantling of an abandoned or defunct ship must happen at a dry-dock facility.
The Port of Port Townsend, Wash., is providing a temporary home to a piece of literary history. But the dry-docked sardine fishing boat once chartered by the writer John Steinbeck faces an uncertain fate.
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee has signed a bill that would provide more environmental protections against derelict vessels in Washington's waterways.
Bills to fund the clean up and prevention of derelict vessels have now been passed in the Washington house and senate, but no permanent sources of funding for large vessel removal have been identified.
The owner of a derelict barge that required a $22 million cleanup after oil spilled into the Columbia River in southwest Washington has been sentenced to four months in prison.
Bret A. Simpson pleaded guilty Thursday in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to two criminal violations of the Clean Water Act for spilling oil in the Columbia River.
The end is in sight for a derelict vessel that has been moored to a publicly owned dock for the past three months.
Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber and Washington Gov. Chris Gregoire fly over the Columbia and Willamette rivers Friday to get a bird's eye view of the derelict and abandoned vessels languishing in those waters. **UPDATE (Friday p.m.):** Kitzhaber and Gregoire return from flyover with reaction.
COUPEVILLE, Wash. — Two cranes lifted a sunken fishing boat out of Penn Cove off Whidbey Island on Sunday. The Deep Sea sank shortly after it caught fire May 12 and diesel leaks from its tanks have closed both commercial and recreational shellfish harvesting in the area.
The U.S. Coast Guard inspected the derelict fishing vessel, Deep Sea, months before it caught fire and sank this week in Puget Sound, polluting waters used for raising shellfish. The Coast Guard, however, reported that the vessel contained "minimal fuel." That has not turned out to be the case.
Get the latest on algae blooms, critters and climate change, orcas, water sharing in the Yakima valley and more. Host Ashley Ahearn talks with EarthFix's Derelict Vessel Diva Bonnie Stewart about the latest sunken vessel, which leaked 3,500 gallons of oil, costing one Puget Sound shellfisherman tens of thousands of dollars.
WHIDBEY ISLAND, Wash. — State officials have suspended mussel harvesting in Whidbey Island's Penn Cove until further notice after a 128-foot derelict fishing vessel anchored there burst into flames and sank over the weekend.
JUNEAU, Alaska - The U.S. Coast Guard is attempting to sink a derelict Japanese fishing vessel off the coast of Alaska. The Ryou-un Maru has been adrift in the Pacific since last year's tsunami in Japan.
A year after the devastating earthquake in Japan, up to 100,000 tons of tsunami-generated debris is posing an urgent threat to coastal economies in the western United States.
We take a look at derelict and abandoned vessels in the waters of the Northwest -- and how states are coping with the environmental hazards associated with them.
The U.S. Coast Guard and its contractors spent 10 months and $22 million removing the Davy Crockett barge from the Columbia River in 2011. Workers prevented a major environmental disaster, but an EarthFix investigation has found that state and federal officials could have prevented an oil spill and the need for a multi-million-dollar cleanup.

Bohumil Hrabal: Too Loud a Solitude
I was inspired to revisit Bohumil Hrabal by his appearance in Adam Thirlwell's Miss Herbert, described there as "a writer of hectic digression" with "a comic refusal to be polite, and to stop talking." I've read two of his books before, the other one being the epitome of his comic refusal to stop talking, Dancing Lessons for the Advanced in Age, which comprises one sentence that lasts for a hundred pages. I didn't feel fit for that much hectic digression, so Too Loud a Solitude it was.
By contrast, this hundred page novel is made up of, oh, at least a dozen sentences. Or at least some of them last a page or more. But it's a readable and charming story, where the narrator, Haňťa, opens almost every chapter with a variation on a theme:
For thirty-five years now I've been in wastepaper, and it's my love story…
For thirty-five years I'd compacted wastepaper in my hydraulic press, never dreaming it could be done any differently…
For thirty-five years now I've been compacting old paper, and if I had it all to do over I'd do just what I've done for the past thirty-five years…
Each opening allows him to spin off into, well, hectic digression, on his life in a police state, where for a living he pulps books deemed unsuitable by the authorities. Of course, the first lesson is that ideas cannot be flattened down into print and that "inquisitors burn books in vain. If a book has anything to say, it burns with a quiet laugh, because any book worth its salt points up and out of itself." In other words, "How much more beautiful it must have been in the days when the only place a thought could make its mark was the human brain and anyone wanting to compact ideas had to squelch human heads, but even that wouldn't have helped, because real thoughts come from outside and travel with us like the noodle soup we take to work."
The squelching of human heads is an indicator of the comic grotesquerie that Hrabal delights in, and the book has a fine line in scatological slapstick; indeed the only thing I remember about Too Loud a Solitude from first time around is a lesson in the dangers of al fresco defecation while wearing skis. I'm not proud.
Haňťa combines his earthy humour with great erudition, because for thirty-five years now, he has been rescuing books from his pulper and taking them home:
Lost in my dreams, I somehow cross at the traffic signals, never bumping into street lamps or people, yet moving onward, exuding fumes of beer and grime, yet smiling, because my briefcase is full of books and that very night I expect them to tell me things about myself I don't know.
As such the tale is littered with literary references, spliced in with his memories and observations, and the whole is told in a spiralling narrative that returns to its themes over and over amid the apparently inconsequential diversions, "and so everything I see in this world, it all moves backward and forward at the same time, like a blacksmith's bellows, like everything in my press, turning into its opposite at the command of red and green buttons, and that's what makes the world go round." Which is not to say that the tale doesn't have a direction, and an ending, which it does: as appropriate and devastating as one could wish for.
Hrabal's achievement in Too Loud a Solitude is astonishing: to bring together elements of modern European history and aspects of humanity in a story which is simultaneously horrifying and absurdly funny. My only regret was that I know I would have got so much more out of the book if I knew the slightest thing about Czech culture, literature and history. Well, there's one way to help that: read more Bohumil Hrabal.
9 Comments »
So glad you liked this one; I read it a while back and, like you, I hold it miles above the rather annoying "Dancing Lessons…". Now I just need to get around to all the other Hrabals I've got sitting in my TBR pile.
Interesting to hear 'horrifying' alongside 'funny' – but it makes me think that perhaps each extreme helps the other to stand clearer than it would on its own. In a way it reminds me of Comic Relief – how the 'serious' films feel more shocking because you were laughing moments before, and the comedy when it comes is funnier for the relief from the miseries…
Nice title too.
[…] Lessons for the Advanced in Age, I resisted buying them even though the last title of his I read, Too Loud a Solitude, still resonates two years later. Instead I plucked out a book of his I bought back then. See, […]

MARC Penn Line running as normal again
Updated On: Oct 10 2012 07:24:33 AM EDT
The Maryland Transit Administration said service on a portion of the MARC Penn Line was suspended Tuesday morning due to a power outage.
The administration said early Tuesday that there was no service north of Martin State Airport due to the outage, meaning there was no service to Perryville, Aberdeen and Edgewood. Trains were operating normally from the airport south to Baltimore and Washington.
The power outage affected Amtrak trains as well. Amtrak said service was suspended between Washington and Wilmington, Del.
The MTA website early Wednesday morning showed that the Penn Line was up and running as normal again.

by N. Zahra – BASICS Issue #27 (Dec 2011 / Jan 2012)
The proper nouns pertaining to the work of d'bi young have been left in lower case to respect the spelling conventions of the artist.
From October 22 to December 4, 2011, the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto staged d'bi young anitafrika's three plays, the sankofa trilogy. Each play in the trilogy tells the story of a generation – 1972, 1992, and 2002 – in a long line of Jamaican women struggling with the violence of colonialism and neo-colonialism. d'bi tells the stories of these women through a technique called biomyth, an approach to artistic creation and storytelling that embeds one's personal lived experiences within the broader people's history. While each play is distinct in its style and specific themes; they all deal with the different ways that the sankofa women have grappled with the violence inflicted upon African women by colonialism. d'bi's mastery of monodrama reveals itself in these three one-woman shows as she convincingly slips from one character to the next – often accompanied by intense rapid emotional shifts – in a heartbeat.
blood.claat, the first of the three monodramas, tells the story of mudgu sankofa, a 15-year-old girl coming of age in 1972 Jamaica. She is being raised by her granny and her mother is living in Toronto. Although she has many of the same preoccupations associated with a 15-year-old girl such as boys, sports and music, she is also struggling with the feelings of shame projected onto her by the wider society. These feelings re-emerge throughout the whole story as her granny and boyfriend make her feel shame for menstruating.
In an attempt to guard her from becoming pregnant, granny sends mudgu to her evangelical aunt, where, tragically, she is raped and impregnated by her uncle. When her granny accuses her of becoming pregnant by her just murdered boyfriend, mudgu finally reveals that it was actually her uncle. Granny, shattered by the news, reveals that she too was impregnated through rape at 15. This powerful revelation of common intergenerational experience is a theme that runs through all three stories.
mudgu links her experience of motherhood with the powerful history of the maroons by naming her daughter sekesu, who was the twin sister of Jamaican shero nanny of the maroons. Sekesu, unlike her sister, did not escape slavery, but she did gave birth to a child named Mudgu who would eventually join nanny in the mountains in the struggle against colonialism. The choice mudgu makes shows her strength and determination to overcome the violence of neo-colonialism and women's exploitation.
The second play in the trilogy, benu, takes us to 1992 Toronto and tells the story of sekesu, who comes to be raised in Canada by mugdu's mother. When sekesu is 20 years old, her granny returns to Jamaica, leaving sekesu to herself.
In benu, we do not come to know what sekesu knows of the circumstances of her birth or why she does not live with her mother, but the scarring of abandonment is evident. After becoming pregnant – and then again abandoned – by a man she is seeing, she gives birth to benu. All alone and trying to navigate an overly-medicalised birthing experience in a Toronto hospital, sekesu is subject to an unwanted epidural. The trauma of the non-consensual medical intervention leads sekesu to experience the common side effect of spinal headaches, and a wave of intense emotional breakdowns that we the audience can only ascribe to the combined effects of the traumatic birthing experience and the repeated abandonments in her life.
Wracked by physical and emotional pain, sekesu leaves her 7-month-old daughter benu at home to seek emergency medical attention. Forced to wait hours and hours in the emergency ward without ever being seen, she is eventually arrested for leaving her child at home alone. We stand witness to the overwhelming structural violence of Canadian society from the violent and brutal birthing experience sekesu endures to the eventual criminalization of this emotionally-fragmented woman. Juxtaposed with her tortuous present is a mythical backdrop, where we are told the beautiful birth story of humanity that was sekesu's favourite story growing up.
The trilogy ends with the recently produced word! sound! powah!, the story of benu and the fictional poets in solidarity group set in 2012 Jamaica. The poets group plans a poetry slam for the day of the presidential elections to protest the lack of commitment of all the candidates to the people. But when on Election Day the winning presidential candidate is assassinated, the blame falls onto the poets in solidarity group. benu is taken into police custody, questioned, and brutally tortured as she fearlessly denies her interrogator's claims and defies his threats. benu's defiance, and the play as a whole, becomes an interrogation of the past colonialism and present neo-colonialism of Jamaican society, which we come to see mocked through the hallow jubilations of presidential hopefuls paying their lip-service to Jamaica's nominal independence fifty years prior in 1962.
benu is finally murdered for not bowing to the brutality of her torturer, ending her life and the trilogy with the final words 'death before dishonour.'
In all three plays d'bi young anitafrika illustrates the contradictions and opposing forces within humanity. Death and birth, hate and love, shame and honour, resistance and submission, violence and beauty, although in contradiction with one another, manage to become their opposites at some point throughout the stories. Every contradiction is a unity of opposing forces, with one aspect of the contradiction often destroying the other.
The significance of d'bi's work stretches far beyond the confines of a critical examination of Jamaica and its diaspora to force its audience to confront the simultaneity of the violence and beauty of our time in a system that brutalizes us and that we continuously resist. The sankofa trilogy is a truly revolutionary work of art that will hopefully inspire the building of a truly revolutionary artists movement.

Ms. Hombach
1. There is no policy that "allows" us to drive on federal highways, these highways were built due to the efforts of hardworking taxpayers and belong to us, not the government.
2. While the rank and file boots on the ground members of our military are no doubt the finest, the pentagon is a bloated corrupt government agency full of connected fat cats who care nothing for our fighting men and women. Their only care is how line their pockets with our money.
3. The EPA is in no way responsible and has no oversight over the food we eat. That would be the USDA. The EPA is nothing but a gravy train for the government, extorting dollars of big businesses that can afford it, and using nazi like tactics against small businesses and individuals to trample private property rights and discourage any kind of entrepeneurial endeavor.
4. If you really think that the unmitigated disaster called Obamacare has helped small business in any way, why don't you just go and open small business and see how that works out for you.
5. Dollar for dollar, blue states are at the bottom of barrel as far as education, with NY being dead last.
6. A little research would show you that every major advance in modern medicine has come from the United States private sector. Can you tell me of any major advances that have come from countries with socialized medicine? While we're at it, how many of these countries with "free" healthcare have little or no military of their own, because we protect them free of charge?
7. Trickle down works very well, if people choose to get out of bed every morning and participate in it.
We are the UNITED STATES of America, not the United state of America. There is not now nor will there ever be an economic model showing that centralized government benefits anyone other than the wanna be dictators who advocate for it. The most recent example of course being the European Union which fell apart before it got off the ground. The indisputable failed economies of the blue states, and the booming economies of the red states are proof alone government intervention is nothing but an anchor.

ChuckD, If their lifestyle is being subsidized in the form of Obamacare, food stamps, section 8, etc, etc, etc, then I don't need to "suggest", I'm stating a fact that they're not earning their keep. And if you're intelligent enough to read the opinion page and offer comment, then you know very well who pays for this. The government doesn't have money, the only way it can subsidize those who choose not to earn their keep, is to take from those who do choose to do so.

Mr Jones
You rambled on, but failed to mention one of Hillary Clinton's accomplishments. I'll fill in the blanks for you.
At 27 years old, she was fired from her position as a Watergate investigator for being a liar, and unethical.
1978-1980 She was a governors wife, is that an accomplishment?
1978-1979 She made a profit of of about $100,000 on an investment of $6,300 in cattle futures on the advise of James Blair, then corporation council to Tyson Foods. Now that's an accomplishment, if you don't factor in insider trading laws that were broken.
1978-1994 The events of the Whitewater scandal and Madison Bank & Trust are far to detailed to list here. Her only accomplishment here is not being convicted of multiple felonies
1982-1992 She was a governors wife again. Same question as above.
1992-2000 She was the presidents wife. Is that an accomplishment?
1993 She presided over a secretive panel attempting an Obamacare style healthcare reform, which backfired, and even caused litigation. Considering the disaster that Obamacare has proven to be, is this an accomplishment?
2001-2009 Carpetbagging Junior Senator from NY. Missed 9.5% of roll call votes, far above the senate average of 2%. Of 337 bills introduced by her, only 2 became law, that's 2 over seven years. Describing her terms in the U.S. Senate as lackluster is still giving her far too much credit. Any accomplishments here?
2009-2012 Secretary of State. In the 2008 Democratic presidential primaries, Hillary ran an ad saying " If the phone rings at 3am, who do you want to answer it. On her watch as SECSTATE, Chris Stevens called for help at 3am and no one answered. As a result 4 Americans included Ambassador Stevens were murdered. Hillary's response on Jan 23, 2013 to Chairman Johnson, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, "What difference does it make"
Under her leadership of the State Dept, our relationship with Russia has soured, while Russia's relationship with rogue nations such as Iran and Syria has grown. China has flexed it's military might to the point where Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other Southeast Asian countries are more than concerned for their safety and security. The jolly little pumpkin boy who rules North Korea is on the verge of a nuclear weapon, as is also Iran. Are these accomplishments?
As a side note, a persons last name should in no way qualify them for office. We don't need anymore Clintons, Bushes, Cuomos, Kennedys, or any of the other political dynasty families that exist today. It's time for new blood across the board.

Gazette reader, you failed to mention Iowa's average per pupil K-12 cost of $7,491.00 per year as opposed to New York's K-12 average per pupil cost of ...... are you ready for this... $19,076.00 per year which consequently is the highest in the country. National average is $10,560.00, with NY being the highest, and Utah being the lowest at $6212.00. Facts are still facts even if you choose to ignore them.
Can anyone explain why Iowa has the highest graduation rate in the nation at almost 1/3 the cost per pupil of New York? I can't wait to hear the lame excuses.

Mr Reilly, Readily available data clearly dictates that restrictions on the ownership and/or possession of firearms not only does nothing to decrease firearm crime, but in some cases increases firearm related crime. There are many studies proving this, but of course these facts are ignored by the poliburo in Albany and the popular media. A most recent study by Quinnipiac University's Professor of economics Mark Guis states "Using data for the period 1980 to 2009 and controlling for state and year fixed effects, the results of the present study suggest that states with restrictions on the carrying of concealed weapons had higher gun-related murder rates than other states. It was also found that assault weapons bans did not significantly affect murder rates at the state level."
One also need look no further than Chicago, or Washington DC, first and second place respectively for gun related crime, as well as having the most repressive gun control in the country. On the other hand, our neighbors in Vermont have virtually no gun control, and the lowest crime rate in the country. In Vermont, anyone can legally purchase as many assault weapons, pistols, and high cap magazines as they wish.
Using a little common sense dispels all myths about gun control reducing crime.

Wmarincic, More often than not you and I are on the same page, but I have to respectfully disagree here.
1. The violence associated with drugs is due to the illegal drug trade, not drug use. Legalization of drugs will do wonders to curb violence in the inner cities.
2. I've witnessed many many violent and irrational acts brought on by alcohol consumption. I've never witnessed anyone whom I suspect has been smoking pot acting aggressive or violent.
3. It makes zero sense to spend money incarcerating those who smoke a joint, therefore wasting resources that could that could be used to combat dangerous criminals.
4. People are going to smoke pot, period. Laws aren't going to stop them. As much as I despise our tax structure, and as much as I feel that our tax dollars are wasted, Pot might as well be taxed like everything else.
BRoberts1, The chances of being injured by someone under the influence of pot are minuscule, compared to the chance of being injured by someone under the influence of alcohol.
Those who I know who smoke pot are definitely not the brightest bulbs on the Christmas tree, and I certainly don't think pot does any good, but there's no question that if alcohol is legal, pot certainly should be.
