By Me.
I hope I don't offend any friends or especially family with the following message. I need to share something. I can't understand how anyone can say "I am bored!" in this amazing age. It annoys me when I see it as a Facebook status or a text. How can you be "bored" while using a magical device that has at least a hundred uses, any of which can sufficiently entertain you? Or you could read a book - you know, those things that are printed on paper that are stored in libraries? They tell amazing stories about imaginary lands; you can't be bored with options like that in the world! Or if that's not enough, doesn't your mind keep you busy? Mine does. And if even that does not satisfy you, don't you have the outside world? The wonders of creation await you.
How can you be bored?
[inspired by Leo Tolstoy]

"The Love Of Money Is..."
"...the root of all evil." (1 Tim. 6:10)
I was just browsing the website LiveWithoutLovingMoney again, (it's been a while since I've browsed it) and this article, "Why Is Wealth Unrighteous?", really caught my attention. See what you think!

"It Won't Be Long At All"
I've been thinking back to L.A. a lot recently and wanted to share this video to share my thoughts. This is a music video for the song "Long At All" by the group Everlast (whom I had already admired), which features one of the most endearing personalities of Los Angeles' Skid Row. Pepper is a regular at the LACW "Hippie Kitchen" and a friend of all who work there (and friend to some of the guests).
My favorite Pepper story that I experienced was on a hot day while I looked after the kitchen's gardens while guests were having their teeth fixed by a volunteer dentist. Pepper showed up with a 3 gallon bucket of ice cream (only God knows where he got it from) and proceeded to make sure we shared it with every last person we saw.
During my time with the LACW, I also remember Pepper living in a teepee on the Fourth Street Bridge and donning a full-sized pirate flag on his shopping cart. The stories are endless.
Enjoy the song.

The Author Who Went Freegan in NYC for Research
The following article was written by Nathan Rostron for Bookish.com about an author who went all the way with research for his latest novel. Funpunkyg has not yet read the book, but would be happy to read it if it came across her path. :) The article is lively and thought-provoking, so enjoy!
"Dear American Airlines" author Jonathan Miles' new novel, "Want Not," began with garbage: "Having three children," Miles told Bookish, "I made great mountains of trash, and trash had become a significant portion of my life." Miles took his obsession further than most writers would. He studied not only the people who make trash and who dispose of it, but also those who (gulp) eat it: "I [spent] a little time with the 'freegan' community in New York, who eat out of trash as a philosophical statement." Miles spoke with us about what drives freegans to live off the grid and go "dumpster diving," and what it was like to follow their path while researching "Want Not."
Jonathan Miles: I'm most excited to be finished with it. Writing this thing was like climbing a big mountain of razor blades naked. So the fact that it's a finished beast is an incredible pleasure. It's such a different creature than "Dear American Airlines," so I don't know what to expect.
Bookish: Do you have scars from that mountain of razor blades?
JM: Oh, yes. There is this idea that writing is supposed to be enjoyable--and it can be. For me, it's not terribly enjoyable most of the time. Maybe one out of 30 days you hit that little zone, that little space where things converge and you can sit for 12 hours and feel that no time has passed. So rare and beautiful, and [it's] enough to keep you going. That's enough to make it addictive. As for scars, I don't think [I have] any more than anybody else has.
Bookish: "Dear American Airlines" was written as an angry passenger's screed. Was there a big idea behind "Want Not"?
JM: The book has as its idea: trash. Having three children, I made great mountains of trash, and trash had become a significant portion of my life. I began thinking about ecological ramifications and [about how] I'm putting my trash next to other people's trash. I'm reading these little dossiers about these people through what they dispose of, and I'm thinking: This stuff tells stories. I can create whole characters just out of discards.
I was puzzled by trash as well. Taking the New Jersey transit train, you go through those little valleys, and the trackside is just strewn with all sorts of random trash--couches, bicycles and all that stuff. I don't understand it. I don't understand where it comes from, what the story is and how that couch ended up being thrown onto the trackside. So, I started spinning these stories in my head about where this stuff came from.
Bookish: Did you physically go through other people's garbage?
JM: Yes. It's fun. I highly recommend it.
Bookish: What are some of the things you discovered?
JM: All sorts of things I could've used for identity theft, and may have, but I can't confess. Some of the most interesting stuff I did was to spend a little time with the "freegan" community in New York, who eat out of [others'] trash as a philosophical statement. That took a little bit of courage the first time--eating out of a black trash bag.
Bookish: You did?
JM: Oh yeah. Bagels, mostly. There was one guy who would wait outside delis--the big delis where they have like 200 different dishes in those steam pans from all over the world--and at the end of the shift, they tend to just dump them all into one bag, which is horrid. But he would eat out of that, his reasoning being that it all ends up together in your stomach anyway. That's a tougher muscle than I have.
Bookish: Did the freegans you met have philosophical or economic reasons for eating rubbish?
JM: Both, and they were intertwined. The philosophical idea that really grabbed me about this was the idea of going off the grid--just disappearing--and how difficult that's become in our day and age. Just a generation ago, you could [disappear] in Alaska. Now, there is no place off the grid. There is no frontier left in the world. You can't disappear. So, what do you do to go off the grid? The only thing you can do to make yourself untraceable, to remove yourself from society, is to stop spending money. That's where you're tracked. To opt out of capitalism is really the only way to be off the grid in this day and age. [Freegans] are as off the grid as you can be.
That's what really fascinated me about these two characters as they developed, Talmadge and Micah, in the novel--Micah's father tried to go off the grid in the old-fashioned way, building a cabin Appalachia. That didn't work out very well. Now, she's trying to go off the grid in a different way, which is to completely drop out of the economy.
Bookish: By dropping out of the economy, you're also dropping out of citizenship, right? If you're not voting, you don't own property, you don't get governmental services like health care….
JM: Theoretically, yes. This is one of the problems of going off the grid, and why many people come back to the grid: That kind of absolutism is very difficult to make endurable, to make sustainable. The grid has its claws.
Bookish: Did you meet people who had succeeded in doing this? Did they feel freer to you, or did they feel more constrained?
JM: Both. Some did feel freer. Some really seemed to have a kind of philosophically idyllic existence, in that they didn't need employment. To go back to the question about economics, they could scavenge out of dumpsters, in front of grocery stores, squat and have a kind of untethered existence. Others seemed to be driven by an ideology, however noble. Any ideology tends to be a psychic job--it tends to be psychological work. So, they didn't seem too free, to answer your question.
Bookish: Did you invite your family to join you in any of these experiments?
JM: I asked my wife, but that was instantly shot down: no interest. But my kids were fascinated by it.
Jonathan Miles is a true chronicler of the modern human condition in a smart, accessible and utterly original way. His first book, "Dear American Airlines," was named a New York Times Notable Book and a Best Book of the Year by the Los Angeles Times and the Wall Street Journal. A former columnist for the New York Times, he serves as a contributing editor to a number of publications including Field & Stream and Details, and writes regularly for the New York Times Book Review.

How to open XML files in Excel 2003
Article ID: 827294 - View products that this article applies to.
For a Microsoft Excel 2002 version of this article, see 282161
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282161/ ).
On This Page
In Microsoft Excel, you can open and save Extensible Markup Language (XML) files. This article describes how XML files are displayed when you open them in Excel.
Structured DataXML is a meta-markup language that provides a format for describing structured data. XML is a subset of the Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) that is optimized for delivery over the Web.
XML is a flexible text format that is derived from SGML (ISO 8879) as defined by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The W3C oversees the implementation of XML so that it remains independent of applications and vendors. For more information about the W3C and XML, visit the following W3C Web site:
http://www.w3.orgIn XML, you can define an unlimited set of tags. Tags are used to describe the type of data that is enclosed. The following XML example is a weather report:
How to Open Files in ExcelWhen you open an XML file in Excel, you are prompted to select one of the following methods to import the XML data:
Open the File As an XML ListWhen you open an XML source, Excel looks for a tag for an XML style sheet (XSL). The XSL describes how the data is to be presented. If the tag is present, Excel prompts you with a choice to apply the style sheet or not. If you select to apply an XSL, the XSL dictates how to present the data; in this case, the remainder of the information in this section of this article does not apply.
If there is no XSL tag, you receive the following message:
Excel then imports the data in the XML source. If the XML data contains duplicate fields inside an element, Excel spreads the data over multiple rows. Each row contains one unique set of data. This can cause a small set of data in XML to be displayed as a larger number of rows in Excel.
Open the File As a Read-Only WorkbookWhen you select to open an XML source document as a read-only workbook, the first tag of the element is used like a title and is placed in cell A1. The rest of the tags are sorted alphabetically and placed across the second row. The weather report example earlier in this article will be sorted into the following list of column headings when you open it as a read-only workbook:
Use the XML Source Task PaneThe schema of the XML data file is displayed in the XML Source task pane. You can then drag elements of the schema to the worksheet to map those elements to the worksheet.
If you are opening an XML data file that does not refer to a schema, Excel infers the schema of the XML data file.

Rascal had a good time playing Wii games after the kids went to school yesterday. He got rid of his excess energy and crashed just about the time my oldest son got home from school. Then last night as I was getting ready for bed, Rascal told me good night as he was leaving to head back to the North Pole.
This morning I heard him coming in the back door shortly after I got up. It was really windy outside this morning and I wanted to make sure that Rascal made it inside safely. The next thing I know, he was running across the living room and headed for the bathroom. I followed him into the bathroom, so that I could see what he was up too.
Find out what Rascal does and check out the awesome photos: Uplifting Families.

A 28-year-old male was killed in a vehicle accident on Highway 92 and North Machias Road on Tuesday, Dec. 27 while driving his 1995 Chrysler Sebring.
The highway was closed for hours while police investigated the accident which occurred at 3:30 p.m.
"The causing driver was on Machias Road traveling northbound and he pulled out in front of the eastbound SUV," Washington State Trooper Keith Leary said. "The SUV struck the car on the driver's side."
The 26-year-old female driver of the 1992 Toyota Landcruiser sustained injuries that were not life threatening. She was transported to Providence Hospital. She is from Lake Stevens
The Chrysler's driver died at the scene. His 39-year-old passenger was hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries.
"There was no alcohol involved," Leary said. "The driver failed to yield."
Troopers are still trying to locate the deceased's next of kin, which are currently in Honduras.

Date Chutney Recipe
Add the perfect condiment to your meal with an easy-to-follow date chutney recipe. Date chutney, which originated in India, is a mixture of sweet fruit and spicy hot flavors. Date chutney is the perfect complement to your favorite curry dish.
To make date chutney, you will need:
- 1 pound dates
- 2 teaspoons fresh ginger
- 4 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 6 teaspoons raisins
- 2 cups vinegar
- 1/4 cup almonds (blanched)
- 2 cloves
- 2 large cardamoms
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper
Cut the fresh ginger into long, thin strips. Grind the cardamoms, cloves and red chili pepper together into powder. If you don't have a spice mill, place the spices in a zip-top bag, expel the excess air before zipping the bag and crush the spices with a rolling pin.
Pit the dates. Place the dates in a food processor or blender and blend until coarsely chopped. Dates can also be chopped by hand with a sharp knife.
- Add the dates, ginger, ground spices, cinnamon, red chili pepper, salt and vinegar to a saucepan. Cook the mixture on a medium heat for 25 minutes until the dates are tender. Stir frequently.
- Add sugar to the mixture and cook until the chutney thickens, stirring constantly. Add more water if necessary to make a thick sauce (the consistency of gravy). Remove from the heat. Stir in the blanched almonds and raisins.
Chutney can be made with almost any fruit, from tomatoes to rhubarb. Date chutney is traditionally very spicy. You can adjust the spices in the recipe to your taste.

Ground Force Manufacturing LLC has leased a 55,000-square-foot building in Plummer, Idaho, from the Coeur d'Alene Tribe, the two parties announced today.
The Post Falls manufacturer makes trucks for the mining industry. Company officials expect to hire 50 or more employees at the Plummer plant within a year.
The building formerly housed a tribal enterprise, Echelon LLC, which made large fuel bladders under a contract with the U.S. Army. As a result of military spending cuts, Echelon has shifted its focus to construction management and environmental services, according to tribal officials.
Ground Force's lease is for five years, with options to renew.

Mento's May Madness: #7 - Greed: Black Border
By Mento 2 Comments
07/05/12 - Game #7
The game: ClockStone Software's Greed: Black Border
The source: Xmas/New Year Sale 2010/2011
The pre-amble: Joining such paragons of the Action RPG field like Alien Syndrome for Wii and, uh, Space Siege comes this Diablo-clone but in space from small Austrian studio ClockStone Software. Choose between three classes and do the usual Diablo business of exploring
dungeons spaceships, killing zombies space zombies and finding treasure treasure.
The playthrough: I don't recall why I bought this game. I mean, I played both those hyperlinked games above and let me tell you, I'm not sure I could've been more underwhelmed. Less underwhelmed? Turns out this game is very much following in their extremely generic, tedious footsteps.
The first warning, in retrospect, was that the three "classes" you were allowed to choose from are only separated by how suited they are to close-, mid- and long-range combat with apparently little else to distinguish them playstyle-wise. Since I always play ranged types in this kind of game, I went with the "long-range" class, which turned out to be some sort of lady scientist with a plasma rifle. Escorting Lady Plasmalade through the first floor of the spaceship, which took almost two hours incidentally, I met approximately three types of enemies, four types of item drop and at least one poorly devised timing-based trap that ended up killing me almost a dozen times. I can't say that I was particularly impressed thus far.
Honestly, there is so little else to say about this game. Besides "it's not good". I don't doubt savvier minds than mine would've seen it for what it was from the screenshots and trailers and walked away. Maybe I thought the sci-fi Diablo clone had some steam (or some sort of futuristic super-fuel equivalent) to it, despite having been disappointed twice before by such a premise. Guess I'm not one for pattern recognition. Going off on a tangent for a moment, I'm not even sure what the point is of emulating a popular game so closely without augmenting the model with any sort of innovation of your own to set your game apart. Like, what was the plan, here? "People seem to like Diablo, maybe they'd enjoy a lesser version of the exact same thing"? If they're borrowing a pre-existing format to base their game on, designers really ought to work extra hard to make sure their product evolves or improves on that format in some way, otherwise everyone will invariably choose the more popular, more established option. But hey, it's not like this was the first Diablo knock-off to try their luck with nothing up their sleeves. I guess I could be a little more lenient. I guess. I'd say it was on par with similar games with higher production values, so that's a plus at least. I always like to end on a plus.
The verdict: No way, Horsey.

Jerry Zgoda missed the entire Kevin Garnett era, but he's back covering the Timberwolves after working the beat for their first four seasons two decades ago. In between, he covered a bit of everything: Gopher men's and women's basketball and NCAA athletics, golf, outdoor recreation, sports media and a little Vikings and Twins.
Local businessman Marv Wolfenson, who along with partner Harvey Ratner brought the NBA back to Minnesota in 1987, died this morning in LaJolla, California, the team confirmed this morning.
He was 87.
Wolfenson and Ratner owned a series of Twin Cities health clubs and were the Timberwolves original owners when the NBA granted them and Minnesota an expansion franchise that began play in 1989.
The two men also were responsible for building Target Center.
They sold the team to Mankato businessman Glen Taylor in 1994.

I'm having installing LogValidator on Mac OS X. While scanning the config files and trying to figure out what's going on, I noticed that it seems like LogValidator connects over the net to the W3C validation service? Is that true? It's a little surprising if so. Is there a fully local version of HTML Validator I could install that doesn't require sending potentially sensitive Intranet pages to a third party? Or am I just misreading the config file options? -- Elliotte Rusty Harold email@example.com Java I/O 2nd Edition Just Published! http://www.cafeaulait.org/books/javaio2/ http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=0596527500/ref=nosim/cafeaulaitA/Received on Tuesday, 30 January 2007 21:45:00 GMT

Sounds as if something is getting too hot...have you tried setting up a fan to keep it cooler to see if that stops the blue tint?
Good morning,
I have a Sahara S2200W Projector Sahara Projectors: Sahara S2200W 3 LCD projector
It is displaying images with a strange blue tinge. I have tried changing settings etc.
It is similar to the yellow marks you often get when something has burned out inside of the projector.
The strange thing is, at first the blue tinge is not there, then it gradually appears over a few hours. But if you then change window or come out of a screen saver, it instantly goes back to normal mode and the colour is restored back to normal.
Does anyone have an idea of what this could be?
I can't see if being the bulb as it would fail when you turn it on not a few hours later, and then be ok.
Sounds as if something is getting too hot...have you tried setting up a fan to keep it cooler to see if that stops the blue tint?
I would say an LCD panel is faulty.
Thanks Cesil and Educare_AV for your suggestions.
I have ensured all of the vents are clear from any dust buildups and have not noticed any warnings regarding over heating.
If it were the LCD panel, would this cost quite alot to replace? Would it be new projector time?
Thanks guys.
Not really something I normally get involved with, but I would imagine if it just a basic projector, then it's probably worth replacing with something new that has warranty.
Thanks for your post.
I will put it to the coord that it may be time to replace.
It is not young, looks to be one from their original install which was a good 5 or so years ago.
Thanks again for your help!

"Fidelis ad Urnam (Faithful Unto Death)"

|Civil Rights:

|Political Freedoms:
Regional Influence: Superpower
Location: Atheist Haven
The Socialist Bohemian Rhapsody of Kele is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Julian Anumia with a fair hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, intelligent population of 20.708 billion Keleans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bohemian Rhap City. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.
Children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "Love and peace!" as a way of life, cars are banned from built-up areas, Dragons are considered a delicacy, and torture is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kele's national animal is the Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Ardan.
Kele is ranked 3rd in Atheist Haven and 117,607th in the world for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring -43 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.

Still no sign of it here - grrrr
No sign of System Manager 7 though....
Still no sign of it here - grrrr
Not the first time it's been on the roadmap though IIRC
It's the Capita Unicorn, it would be really great to see but it's not real.
Different teams though. They don't do much crossover, if any.
Gonna upgrade in 2 weeks time. Bring it on!!!!!
Active Directory?
Guess so, also SOLUS3 using .NET 3.5 technology, so hopefully Sysman7 will be a bit more flash.
The current systems manager is shockingly out of date, you still cant even use the keyboard to jump alphabetically to a member of staff :/

Since Bob Sumerel opened his first retail tire store in 1968, he has always tried to put the customer first, next to all the gold-medal winners and Neil Armstrong. His store's 20-plus current locations offer an entire slate of auto services, from tire rotations and sales to oil changes. On the site's Why Bob Sumerel page, customers and employees discuss the benefits of the company, and the My Garage feature tracks car histories such as oil changes and service reminders. Every Bob Sumerel also operates under the Fixed Forever guarantee, promising that parts will work forever—up until the sun balloons to a red giant and swallows the earth with its unfathomably hot plasma—with warranties to cover any unforeseen problems.
When Mike's Carwash first opened in 1948, it was one of only 18 carwash businesses in the United States. Today, the family-owned establishment keeps the 65-year-old tradition of gussying up automobiles alive at 42 locations throughout the Midwest. At each location, accommodating staffers stand by to assist customers during the cleaning process. Decked out in cartoon neckties, the cheerful team ushers cars into computer-controlled washers that eschew traditional gear-operated brushes and baseball bats in favor of controlled sprays and soft cloths. After the mixture of eight signature soaps de-grimes surfaces, 200-miles-per-hour gusts of hot air dry vehicles instantly. Mike's also offers specialty coats to give car exteriors and tires additional shine.
Trained technicians at QuikStop Oilube's 13 tristate locations complete automotive services from speedy lubes to tire rotations with an ethos of friendliness and dedication established in 1987. Products keep engines smoothly churning and piston cylinders from attracting feral whack-a-moles. Each location offers full Saturday hours with select centers open on Sundays to ensure convenient service for any schedule. While-you-wait service rests on a trademark 10-minute oil change, complete with a fresh filter and a high-octane lollipop for well-behaved cars.
Majesty Auto Care's experienced team of sedan specialists have detailed more than 51,000 cars since the business's beginning in 1993. Four-wheelers roll up to the auto spa before affable staff members hand wash and dry exteriors—careful not to tickle underbellies lest they cause exhaustive chortles—and apply coats of high-quality wax to protect exterior shine. Interior detailing packages boast leather and vinyl conditioning services, a cleaning of doorjambs and locks, and shampooing of carpets. The shop lets auto owners opt for compiled interior, exterior, and ultimate detailing packages or handpick services from an à la carte car-care menu.
The certified flight instructors at Aviators Flight Academy have been helping fledgling pilots earn their wings for more than three decades. Students take off from Dayton-Wright Brothers Airport toward the earth's giant blue tarp using the academy's fleet of Cessna and Piper fixed-wing aircraft, performing basic maneuvers under a teacher's expert supervision. Beyond introductory lessons, students can also enroll in the flight-training school to earn their license and finally be able to impersonate pilots at airport bars.
Sam Meineke opened his three-bay muffler shop in 1972 with a single product line, and through time, he and his successors have expanded the business into a complete automotive car-care center. Today, nearly 900 franchise owners operate their locations around the globe, still standing on the firm foundation of Sam's ideal of nursing vehicles back to health at fair prices. Meineke Car Care Centers' mechanics perform an array of services, keeping rides running in showroom condition with tune-ups, 23-point inspections, tire rotations, and deep-tissue windshield massages.

The Collaborators is a novel about a novel. The book in question is called Dancing the Brown Java, volume one of a sprawling epic set in Resistance-era France, and perhaps the greatest French work since Louis-Ferdinand Céline's Voyage to the End of the Night.1 The reader doesn't learn too much about the content of this new masterpiece over the course of Pierre Siniac's book—certain episodes of the plot are sketched out, a sentence or two is read by some character, critics praise the "little music" of its prose—for it is the events that swarm around it, the violent and even absurd machinations Dancing the Brown Java sets in motion, that constitute the almost 500 pages of this work.
It becomes clear early on that Dancing the Brown Java is an atypical book, not in some metaphysical or metafictional sense (like Borges's "The Book of Sand"), but perhaps more as a MacGuffin, a mysterious force driving the action and leaving dead bodies in its wake. The Collaborators opens with an episode of Book Culture, a TV show dedicated to the literary arts.2 Jean-Rémi Dochin and Charles Gastinel are the stars of the evening, brought on to discuss Dancing the Brown Java, their critical and commercial hit. The two are an unlikely pair to have spawned a great work of literature: Dochin spent his life as an unemployed drifter, while Gastinel worked as a puppeteer until he became so fat his stage burst one day as he was performing beneath it. And as for being collaborators? They are decades apart in age and hardly seem to like one another . . .
Well they don't and they aren't. We learn very early on that Dochin wrote the book alone. Somehow, Gastinel involved Dochin in a murder and is now using this as blackmail so that he may live his dream of being a famous and esteemed author; imagine the Devil so admiring Faust's intellect that he forced a deal on the poor scholar just to get a byline. And this is not the only time Dancing is tainted with blood. After it is published, any critic that plans on giving it a bad review quickly finds himself3 permanently incapacitated before a bad word about the novel can appear in print.
And if these weren't mysteries enough, there is one more overarching head scratcher: how could anyone even write a good word about Dancing the Brown Java? The majority of the novel follows Dochin as he works on his magnum opus, and his opinion of his own prose is consistently low:
"I picked up one of my books, opened it, and once again discovered my pointless prose, my thick-headed wordplay, my malformed sentences trudging painfully over the page, my shallow, police-report behaviorism, my inane descriptions, my lovely syntactical screw-ups poking out here and there like weeds, my dialogue straight out of a dimestore novel or a TV series . . . Line after miserable line . . . I paged through the book, a strange weariness coming over me. The flatness of the thing hit me square in the face, just like a cream pie, only some joker had replaced the custard with cement. Talk about empty intellectual calories! I was already sure of it, and now the book in my hands made it clear as day: this was the best I could hope for, I'd never do better, never rise above this ocean of blather, this mountain of commonplaces, this forest of clichés."
Why would someone with such a low opinion of his writing even try to get it published? The answer is Ferdinaud Céline, owner of an inn where Dochin ends up living for several years while he works on his book, and progenitor of the French title of this novel.4 A former bookstore owner, she becomes Dochin's lover, mother, and the most avid fan of his work, maniacally pushing him to finish his book as she prepares a typed manuscript for the publishers. She has Proust on her bookshelves, so obviously she can recognize good writing, right?
Of course people, like works of literature, are never quite what they seem, and as facades begin to fall away at the end of The Collaborators, Siniac shows how deception can operate on both a literary and a real level. But I should qualify this: The Collaborators is itself a work of deception, but of the simplest kind: it is a thriller, a mystery novel. At the pure level of plot things are not as they seem, and we as readers get caught up in this and relish being led along to a surprising, twisting, and unexpected conclusion. Yet there is little more.
Siniac lampoons the literary community in his novel. He presents the silly politicking of publishing a book, of making it a success; critics savor their ability to destroy a new writer simply for its own sake, to feel important and relevant in a world where they are mere leeches. The bullshit of academese that plagues literature is hilariously mocked as a panel praises Dancing the Brown Java on Book Culture:
"So captivating, so blistering, so masterful in its descriptions, it's terrific!, it's tremendous!, so utterly new in its suggestivity, so irresistibly piquant in its paroxysmal sub-quintessenciation of the unsaid and the sub-experienced, in the neo-Brechtian parody of the context and the underlying depths of style."
Unfortunately, this is easily the best line in The Collaborators, and it comes about twenty pages in . . . Again, this is a book about deception: Dochin is deceived about his ability to write and about the motivations of his friends. On another level, there are the deceptions of the publishing world. The public is deceived into thinking Dancing the Brown Java has two authors, but there are broader and more structural book culture deception as well: authors given paltry advances by publishing companies, critical jargoneers swarming around literature like piranhas at the smell of blood . . . Yet the world of publishing and all the apparatuses that feed off of it are impermanent. Written culture has evolved over thousands of years and will continue to do so with the advent of e-books and online distribution. And as in any hierarchical power structure people will be tricked, swindled, and abused. But this does not touch on the deceptive essence of literature, on its power to make you think that it is important, that the people you read about are in some way real, that it has some inherent meaning. This is essential to literature as an art, but it is the non-essentials clustered around this art that Siniac touches on. And he does so in a highly enjoyable fashion. Look no further for a brainy thriller about a topic rarely scratched by the genre . . . but if you recognize that life is more than a series of plot twists, stick with a real Céline; you'll be satisfied with something more like Dancing the Brown Java than The Collaborators.
1 Available from New Directions. Siniac's act of describing the greatest new French novel rather than writing it himself reminds me of the song "Tribute" by Tenacious D.
2 Can you imagine such a thing being popular here in the U.S.?
3 According to this book, there are no important French literary critics that aren't men.

Reading a genre book—whether fantasy, science fiction, crime, thriller, etc.—which begins to seem excessively, stereotypically bad, I have to make sure to ask myself: is this parodying the flaws of the genre? Usually, this questioning takes its time coming. In. . .
The Sicilian Mafia has always been a rich subject for sensational crime fiction. The Godfather, Goodfellas, and The Sopranos worked the mob's bloody corpses and family feuds to both entertainment and artistic value. Giuseppe di Piazza's debut novel attempts this,. . .

World ranked Cruiserweight Bobby Gunn has announced that he will donate a percentage of his fight purse to former three division world champion Iran The Blade Barkley, following his August 25th title fight in Fairfax, Virginia. Gunn, who was the chief sparring partner for Barkley during his camp prior to winning the IBF Super Middleweight Championship from Darrin Van Horn, is happy to be giving back to a long time friend. .
Iran Barkley gave the fans a lot of great fights and I learned a lot from sparring with him said the former IBA Cruiserweight Champion. He was also a very nice guy and the time spent in camp with him was truly a pleasure and something I will always remember. I feel that the boxing community should give back to him and other fighters in need. My cousin Mike Normile saw Iran at a fight recently and knew he needed help. I felt it was my place to do something about it.
Gunn also pointed out that not enough current fighters elect to help out legends of the past. Many of todays fighters are financially blessed, but you rarely see them giving back to the legends of boxing who could use their financial support. Hopefully what I am doing will open up eyes of other current boxers.

Flush with funds, multinational corporations (MNCs) are snapping up shares in their Indian subsidiaries, clearly convinced the India growth story is only going to get better. With access to cash easier in a global economy awash with liquidity, MNCs evidently foresee better returns on investments in markets like India and are putting their money to work here.
After Unilever Plc said, in April, it was ready to spend as much as $5.4 billion to buy shares in its Indian outfit, GlaxoSmithKline Plc announced on Monday it was willing to fork out $1 billion (R6,400 crore or �629 million) to buy shares of Glaxosmithkline Pharmaceuticals Ltd from non-promoter shareholders; the price offered was a mouth-watering R3,100 apiece, a 26% premium to its closing price of R2,460.15 on Friday.
GSK Plc�s cash flow statement for the nine months ended September 30, puts its cash at �2.906 billion (about $4.5 billion); the firm said it is looking to fund the offer with its existing cash resources.
GSK Plc said it was open to buying up to 20.6 million shares which would take its stake to 75% from the current 50.7%, adding it intended to keep the Indian entity publicly listed.
The announcement sent the GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd stock soaring to its lifetime high of R2,927.40, up 18.6% up on the BSE; in intra-day trades, the stock hit R2,952 up 19.59%. In February, GSK Plc upped its share in GSK Consumer Healthcare to 72.46% from 43.16%, paying R4,800 crore after an open offer announced in December 2012.
�It is really about the parent obtaining more of the economics of the future growth of the business,� GSK Plc chief strategy officer David Redfern told FE in a candid comment, adding his company was well placed to capture the Indian opportunity.
�For GSK, this transaction will increase exposure to a strategically important market and for our Indian pharmaceuticals subsidiary�s shareholders we believe it offers a good liquidity opportunity at an attractive premium,� Redfern said.
According to the 2012 annual report, sales from emerging markets constituted 26% of GSK Plc�s total revenues. GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd�s revenues from pharma and vaccines in 2012 were 304 million pounds, a mere 1.15% of GSK Group revenues of 26.4 billion pounds. Revenues from China accounted for 2.87% while those from Latin American countries accounted for 4.76%.
Analysts believe the price of Rs 3,100 being offered is attractive given that it discounts CY14 earnings by about 38.7 times, assuming an earnings per share of Rs 80. �The business has been patchy; so, this is a good price. The company would have to do something extraordinary for there to be significant upside from these levels,� observed an analyst. GlaxoSmithKline Pharmaceuticals Ltd has been embroiled in a dispute with wholesalers and retailers over commissions; Q3CY13 sales fell 7% y-o-y to Rs 620.54 crore while net profits fell 33.7% y-o-y to Rs 100.95 crore.
However, GSK Plc CEO Sir Andrew Witty has not been critical of India�s change in drug pricing policy: �What you will continue to see is governments intervene periodically on pricing; I don�t think that is unexpected or surprising. I continue to believe that the underlying demographic momentum of most of these countries means that over a period of two or three years, very often, the volume compensates for that price effect.�
With their revenues tapering off in developed markets due to patents expiring, global drug majors are now hoping to cash in on the Indian pharmaceutical market which grew 16.6% in CY2012. �India has always been important for Glaxo and it seems to be focusing on long-term prospects. Overall, all foreign companies are looking at emerging markets positively,� Motilal Oswal analyst Alok Dalal observed.
�We made an offer for GSK Consumer last year, that was the priority then. We were very pleased with how that offer went...We continue to review at the centre of GSK capital allocation across the world and we decided this is the moment to bring a further billion dollars into India through GSK Pharmaceuticals,� Redfern said.

Deteriorating tooth health can have debilitating emotional and social consequences.Individuals with damaged teeth can become self-conscious and wary of talking openly with others. They may experience a severe drop in self-esteem or even develop social anxieties.Many dental phobic patients may find possible solutions with a little research online. A new website run by the Thurm Dental Group, for example, offers advice for the fearful, including videos on anesthetic services that help ease the dentist visit experience.Routine dentist appointments are an essential component of one's dental care, according to the American Dental Association (ADA).

This is a recipe that I received several years ago from a friend. It was then called "Garbage Dip". I have taken it to several parties and it has always been a great hit. Someone always asks me for the recipe. I usually double the recipe. Big dipper corn chips are the best with this salsa. Try it, you will love it.
Pretty tasty low-fat dip. Even my 7 year olds liked it! Will make again!
This is a wonderful combination of flavors. And a nice change from traditional salsa.
