American Bike Trails by Eleni Demetriou http://elenidemetriou.gather.com/ As an avid cyclist, I consider myself lucky to live in a country with such a wealth of pristine mountain biking trails. The bike-friendly section of the Finger Lakes Trail, arguably one of the best (albeit least-known) trails in the country, is located in Letchworth State Park in New York. Consisting of 22 miles of singletrack, the trail runs along the rim of the Genesee River Gorge, a 600-foot deep chasm known as the "Grand Canyon of the East." In addition to the spectacular views offered by the trail, bikers also enjoy a challenging ride over rocks and roots while navigating blind switchbacks and downed logs. For experienced cyclists looking for a way to push themselves to the limits, the Finger Lakes Trail is the perfect challenge. For cyclists seeking a less grueling ride, Fisher Creek in Ketchum, Idaho offers a scenic ride in the picturesque Sawtooth Mountains. Although Fisher Creek lacks many of the natural obstacles of other trails, it requires an altitude climb of over 8,000 feet. During the first portion of the trail, bikers pass by beaver ponds and cabins before encountering the steep incline. When riders finally reach the top, they are treated to panoramic views of snow-capped mountains, sprawling meadows, and clear blue skies. After completing the singletrack descent, riders reach the asphalt and can enjoy a one -mile coast back to the trailhead. Dubbed "the perfect trail" by many, the Downieville Downhill trail in California's Tahoe National Forest offers a highly technical ride that acts as one extended adrenaline rush. The trail itself descends 4,200 feet in under 14 miles, winding through old growth forests, wild flower-filled meadows, and cliffs overlooking roaring rivers. Although many riders scoff at the idea of taking a shuttle to the top of the trail, Downieville Downhill is taxing in its own way, often leaving riders completely exhausted by the time they reach the bottom.

June 30, 2015An energy client of ours recently made an acquisition.

For all the same reasons, great focus must be placed on communicating with all stakeholders. They need to hear the details of the transaction, the rationale behind it, and the impact on them.

June 2, 2015When you Google "why it's important to have," the suggested search copy lists: 1) "friends" and 2) "a website." Google tells us what we already know: it's important to have friends and it's important to have a website. Furthermore, organizations make friends by inviting them to visit online. While some organizations and many small businesses still manage to do business without one, research informs us that a website is, in fact, a critical component of professional success. Websites allow visitors to get to know you and can serve as an open house.

My self-summary
Write a little about yourself. Just a paragraph will do.
Hey! So, about me.. I'm a soft butch girl who prefers butch girls, just to get that out of the way. I'm fairly intellectual, slightly rebellious, generally fun-loving, mostly easygoing, moderately stubborn, and very friendly. I love talking to people, and I think connecting with other living things is one of the best parts of life.
I'm happily in a relationship, but it is open, and I wouldn't mind meeting some new people.

What I'm doing with my life
Don't overthink this one; tell us what you're doing day-to-day.
I'm a college student in Mechanical Engineering Technology, but my actual dream job is just a draftsman. I'll probably end up in engineering anyway to pay the bills, but it's nice to dream about having a job where you do nothing but the thing you love every day.
I aspire to (maybe) someday move to Sweden and settle down there.

The six things I could never do without
Think outside the box. Sometimes the little things can say a lot.
I spend a lot of time thinking about
Global warming, lunch, or your next vacation… it's all fair game.
Existential philosophy, such as the great debates over predestination and free will, the creation of the universe, and our existence on a quantum level. I also think about animals, internet memes, and other fun and awesome things that don't involve as big of words.
On a typical Friday night I am
Netflix and takeout, or getting your party on — how do you let loose?
Either home in front of a movie, a game, or my computer, or with a close friend just chatting and hanging out.
The most private thing I'm willing to admit
I'm an empty essay… fill me out!
My biological clock is far too loud for my age and sexual orientation. I know that I really don't want a kid right now, and that I'm going to have another decade before I even start. But... Babieeeeesssssss...

Hospital Quality Data:
CMS Needs More Rigorous Methods to Ensure Reliability of Publicly Released Data
GAO-06-54: Published: Jan 31, 2006. Publicly Released: Feb 24, 2006.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7207
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Medicare Modernization Act of 2003 directed that hospitals lose 0.4 percent of their Medicare payment update if they do not submit clinical data for both Medicare and non-Medicare patients needed to calculate hospital performance on 10 quality measures. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) instituted the Annual Payment Update (APU) program to collect these data from hospitals and report their rates on the measures on its Hospital Compare Web site. For hospital quality data to be useful to patients and other users, they need to be reliable, that is, accurate and complete. GAO was asked to (1) describe the processes CMS uses to ensure the accuracy and completeness of data submitted for the APU program, (2) analyze the results of CMS's audit of the accuracy of data from the program's first two calendar quarters, and (3) describe processes used by seven other organizations that assess the accuracy and completeness of clinical performance data.
CMS has contracted with an independent medical auditing firm to assess the accuracy of the APU program data submitted by hospitals, but has no ongoing process in place to assess the completeness of those data. CMS's independent audit checks accuracy by comparing the quality data submitted by hospitals from the medical records for a sample of five patients per calendar quarter for each hospital to the quality data that the contractor has reabstracted from the same records. The data are deemed to be accurate if there is 80 percent or greater agreement between these two sets of results. CMS has established no ongoing process to check data completeness. For the payment updates for fiscal years 2005 and 2006, CMS compared the number of cases submitted by a hospital to the number of Medicare claims that hospital submitted. However, these analyses did not address non-Medicare patient records, and the approach that CMS took in these analyses was not capable of detecting incomplete data for all hospitals. Although GAO found a high overall baseline level of accuracy when it examined CMS's assessment of the data submitted for the first two quarters of the APU program, the results are statistically uncertain for up to one-third of hospitals, and a baseline level of data completeness cannot be determined. The median accuracy score of 90 to 94 percent--depending on the calendar quarter and measures used--was well above the 80 percent accuracy threshold set by CMS, and about 90 percent of hospitals met or exceeded that threshold for both the first and the second calendar quarters of 2004. However, for approximately one-fourth to one-third of all the hospitals that CMS assessed for accuracy, the statistical margin of error for their accuracy score included both passing and failing accuracy levels. Consequently, for these hospitals, the small number of cases that CMS examined was not sufficient to establish with statistical certainty whether they met the accuracy threshold set by CMS. With respect to completeness of data, CMS did not assess the extent to which all hospitals submitted data on all eligible patients, or a representative sample thereof, for the two baseline quarters. As a result, there were no data from which to derive an assessment of the baseline level of completeness of the quality data that hospitals submitted for the APU program. Other reporting systems that collect clinical performance data have adopted a range of activities to ensure data accuracy and completeness, which include some methods employed by all, such as checking the data electronically to identify missing data. Officials from some of the other reporting systems and an expert in the field stressed the importance of including an independent audit in the methods used by organizations to check data accuracy and completeness. Most of the other reporting systems incorporate three methods into their process that CMS does not use in its independent audit. Specifically, most include an on-site visit in their independent audit, focus their audits on a selected number of facilities, and review a minimum of 50 patient medical records during the audit.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In its August 2009 final rule to implement FY 2010 changes in the Medicare Inpatient Prospective Payment System, CMS alerted hospitals that starting in 2010 it will change its procedure for checking the accuracy of quality data that hospitals submit quarterly in order to receive their full annual payment update. Rather than reviewing 5 patient records per quarter from every hospital, CMS will henceforth review 12 patient records from a randomly selected sample of 800 hospitals. We had recommended that CMS increase the number of patient records it reviewed for hospitals with statistically uncertain results. Although the procedure that CMS adopted differs somewhat from the approach that we proposed, it addresses the problem we identified through an alternative mechanism that accomplishes the same result -- reducing an excessive degree of statistical uncertainty that arose from insufficiently large samples by focusing the data validation effort on a selected subset of hospitals in any given year. CMS noted that this increase in sample size would provide more reliable estimates of the accuracy of the hospital submitted data.
Recommendation: In order for CMS to help ensure the reliability of the quality data it uses to produce information on hospital performance, the CMS Administrator should, focusing on the subset of hospitals for which it is statistically uncertain if they met CMS's accuracy threshold in one or more previous quarters, increase the number of patient records reabstracted by the Clinical Data Abstraction Center in a subsequent quarter so that the proportion of hospitals with statistically uncertain results is reduced.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In its August 2009 final rule to implement FY 2010 changes in the Medicare Inpatient Prospective Payment System, CMS alerted hospitals that starting in 2010 they would be required to electronically acknowledge once a year the completeness and accuracy of the quality data that they submit quarterly in order to receive their full annual payment update. The rationale CMS provided for this requirement included a reference to our recommendation that CMS require hospitals to certify that the quality data they submitted were complete. CMS stated that this requirement would help to ensure that hospitals implemented the steps needed to guarantee the completeness and accuracy of the quality data that they submitted.
Recommendation: In order for CMS to help ensure the reliability of the quality data it uses to produce information on hospital performance, the CMS Administrator should require hospitals to certify that they took steps to ensure that they submitted data on all eligible patients, or a representative sample thereof.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: A CMS official reported in a an email sent 7/26/2007 that CMS has addressed our recommendation on assessing the level of incomplete data through analyses that compared hospital quality data submissions with each hospital's Medicare claims submissions. In an email on 1/5/2009, the same official reported that CMS plans to conduct similar analyses in 2009. The official acknowledged that Medicare claims do not include all the patients for whom hospitals are required to submit data. CMS therefore plans to ask hospitals to self report their total number of Medicare and non-Medicare cases.
Recommendation: In order for CMS to help ensure the reliability of the quality data it uses to produce information on hospital performance, the CMS Administrator should assess the level of incomplete data submitted by hospitals for the APU program to determine the magnitude of underreporting, if any, in order to refine how completeness assessments may be done in future reporting efforts.

I think its more of a taste of personal preference - obviously with new construction, you're likely going to end up with a smaller lot size - is that important to you? Benefits can include choosing your finishes & colors (if you buy early enough in the construction stage), and as Ray said, you'll get a warranty. New communities tend to come with monthly dues too, but they're usually fairly low (around $50/month maybe, on average) and help to maintain the community. Lots to think about!
I would suggest, that as a buyer, you Google every agent that responds to your question here on Trulia, learn as much as you can about who they are online, read their client testimonials, so you know what their clients are saying about them, and then give us each a call and just ask us why we think you should work with us instead of another agent. This will take you a little while to do, but will be time well spent, as choosing the right agent is the first step towards choosing the right home. Then, pick the best fit for you and let them go to work for you with the skill and knowledge that they have. I hope to hear from you soon.
Good luck to you in any case,

1990 Volkswagen Golf Q&A
1990 Volkswagen Golf Question: ripped-off?
I was quoted $120 for replacement of alternator, a/c and p/s belts. Went to pick up and bill was $330. No phone call, and I gave NO authorization for extra work. Difference seems to be $170 for "Repair broken bolt in a/c bracket to make belt fit." according to work order. Should I cancel check I HAD to write for repairs as owner is out of town until March 31st, and therefore was unavailable for me to speak with? And did I get overcharged? Thank You, Renai Nelson - naisy
2 Answers
Answer 1
Hello Renai. Don't cancel the check. Once you write a check for repairs you have made intent to pay, if you cancel the check it gets ugly as it is treated as fraud on your behalf. Laws are different in each state. Here in California you must inform the customer of any increase in price. The customer must sign a repair order on initial authorization of work and verbally approve work and prices afterwords. Its bad business practice not to keep the customer informed. In CA if the customer is not informed and has given authorization they legally only have to pay the price initially agreed on. The Burea of Automotive Repair document is called "Write it right" outlines what legally obligates a repair order. Firstly contact your local Bureau of Automotive Repair and see where you stand legally. Better Buisness Bureau charge to open a case as too does a case in small claims court. Thats my advice to you from a customer point of view. I cannot defend the garage not contacting you to say there has been a complication a bolt has stripped out broken off or is rusted and can't be removed. It does happen and in actual fact it happens frequently especially in areas where a car is exposed to rain snow and tough environment. It can happen, it does happen, its a no win situation for the fellow working on the car, the bolt wont now come off or on! Its just rude that you were not called to be advised there was a problem and have the complication explained to you. Call the BAR. - patrick mannion

Worldnow, an online technology, content and revenue-systems company for local media, announced that it will be begin releasing the first of several enhanced Closed Captioning (CC) digital solutions to its clients. This first release is for desktop users and is for videos on demand.
This system is complete and end-to-end. Users will be able to do more than choose font sizes; they can choose a font type, style and color. Moreover, clients will have the flexibility to choose the background color including the opacity. Users will even have the ability to choose where to position the captioning.
In 2010, the FCC had mandated nine initial requirements detailing how CC should and must be customized by Jan. 1, 2014. As of today, three of the those nine items are not yet standardized in the industry but Worldnow has them. Those critical three are:
Because this is a Worldnow system, clients do not need to worry about any third-party integrations. In the coming weeks, Worldnow will be releasing support for livestream and VOD customizations across mobile devices as well. This is all part of a new mobile player platform.

Apple announces WWDC for June 2-6
In a press release this morning, Apple announced the dates of its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. The event will run June 2 through June 6 at Moscone West in San Francisco.
This year, tickets will be available via a lottery system, rather than on a first-come, first-serve basis as they have been in the past. WWDC is a conference designed for developers with technical sessions and Apple engineers on-hand. New software is traditionally shown, and iOS 8 will likely be previewed at the keynote presentation.

By: rlbom1
These Tee Shirts are an excellent bargain for the price. They are heavyweight, have a pocket and look good. They stand up to wash after wash and keep on working. I got these tee shirts in all available colors. The sewing and stiching is top notch. They are cut long enough to hide those intimate parts of your anatomy when you bend over! Get yourself a full set of these today. You will love them and your bank account will hardly show a dent!

Key pocket tees are great, quality, fit, and reasonably priced. Ordered my shirts and got them in a timely manner. I like the 100% cotton ones better than the 90% ones. They wash well and do not shrink to my knowledge. I dry them on medium heat not high. The colors are stable and do not fade out with consecutive washing.

A fishing lure having a rattling assembly for attracting fish, wherein the sound of the rattling assembly is adjustable. The rattling assembly includes a rattle member and a rod member positioned inside a cavity defined in the body of the fishing lure. The rod member traverses the exterior surface of the fishing lure into the cavity, such that the position of the rod member will determine the ability of the rattling member to travel within the cavity to strike the walls of the cavity.
1. A method for controlling the noise produced by a rattle member within a fishing lure when the fishing lure is drawn through water, said method comprising the steps of:
a) inserting a rod member into a rattle member cavity having an interior surface, said rattle member cavity surrounding the rattle member within the fishing lure;
b) adjusting the position of said rod member in said rattle member cavity to selectively allow movement of the rattle member against the interior surface of said rattle member cavity as the lure is drawn through water;
c) providing a screw for the rod member;
d) tightening said rod member to extend into said rattle member cavity and engage said rattle member; and
e) preventing the movement of the rattle member in said rattle member cavity.
2. The method as described in 1 further comprising the step of:
loosening said rod member to withdraw from said rattle member cavity; and
allowing the rattle member to move within said rattle member cavity.
The present invention relates to a fishing lure, and more particularly, to a fishing lure having at least one adjustable rattle to produce a variable noise to attract fish.
One of the most important aspects of fishing is to attract fish. Particularly when a hook is employed, the fish must be tempted to seize the hook. One of the oldest ways to attract fish to the hook is to put live bait on the hook, such that the bait's motion will attract fish. In addition to live bait, artificial bait is commonly used. Some types of artificial bait are mounted right on the hook. Innumerable lures have been designed to simulate a swimming fish, frog or other animal that is attractive to fish as a food source.
In addition to the bait on the hook or lines, other methods are used to attract fish into the general vicinity. One successful method of attracting fish is to create particular noises in the water which attract the fish. Battery operated noise makers have been submerged under water and activated to produce a noise to attract fish. Lures have also been designed to rapidly revolve when drawn through the water to create a whistle-like sound. Noise has been well documented in fishing literature as an attractant to fish. In actual practice, however, water can mute sounds emitted from a lure. Attendant fluid and aerodynamic properties of a lure can affect the emitted sound. Capillary action between adjacent lure parts and lure motion can also cause any sound making parts that are exposed to the water to stick together or move slowly. Parts mounted in watertight chambers overcome the foregoing, but the sounds are muted by the sound insulating properties of the surrounding chambers.
The present invention is a fishing lure having a rattling assembly for attracting fish, wherein the sound of the rattling assembly is adjustable as desired by the user according to the desired level to attract, rather than scare, fish to the user's lure. The rattling assembly includes a rattle member and a rod member positioned inside a cavity defined in the body of the fishing lure. The rod member traverses the exterior surface of the fishing lure into the cavity, such that the position of the rod member will determine the ability of the rattling member to travel within the cavity to strike the walls of the cavity.
A fishing lure having at least one adjustable rattle for variable sound generation embodying the features of the present invention is depicted in the accompanying drawings, which form a portion of this disclosure, wherein:
Looking to
A rattle member 18 is placed within the cavity 14, such that when the fishing lure 10 is pulled through water, the rattle member 18 will strike the internal surface 16 of the cavity 14. As the rattle member 18 collides with the internal surface 16, a sound will be made to attract the attention of nearby fish and entice such fish to attempt to consume the fishing lure 10. The rattle member 18 as shown in
The fishing lure 10 of the present invention additionally includes a rod member 20 that is used to penetrate the exterior surface 12 a of the body 12 and the internal surface 16 of the cavity 14. The rod member 20 traverses the exterior surface 12 a of the body 12 into the cavity 14 so as to selectively fill space within the cavity 14 and further engage the rattle member 18 with an adjustable pressure. When the rod member 20 extends into the cavity 14, as shown in
As a result, the user of the fishing lure 10 is able to control the noise produced by the fishing lure 10 when in use. That is, if the user determines that a rattling noise is not necessary to attract fish, or worse, that the rattling noise repels fish from striking the fishing lure, then the user may simply force the rod member 20 into the cavity 14. However, if the user determines that noise would be beneficial in attracting fish to the fishing lure 10, the user may simply loosen the rod member 20 so that the rattle member 18 has room to bounce within the cavity 14 between portions of the internal surface 16.
The rod member of the fishing lure 10 illustrated in
Having thus described exemplary embodiments of the present invention, it should be noted by those skilled in the art that the within disclosures are exemplary only and that various other alternatives, adaptations, and modifications may be made within the scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments as illustrated herein, but is only limited by the following claims.

Flashback dominates in G2 Robert B. Lewis S.
Saturday, February 02, 2013 |
Posted for
Flashback rolled to a deceptively easy 6 1/4-length score in Saturday's $200,000 Robert B. Lewis S. at Santa Anita Park to give the 3-year-old son of Tapit his first career stakes win in his black-type debut.
Flashback was one of three graded stakes winners on the day by her sire, with Tapicat taking the Grade 3 Florida Oaks and Honorable Dillon in the Grade 2 Hutcheson S. at Gulfstream Park.
Tapit entered the day ranked fourth on the 2013 General Sire list and will almost certainly sit atop the standings after Saturday's racing is completed.
Flashback is all alone at the finish of the G2 Robert Lewis
Flashback controlled the pace of the 1 1/16-mile Lewis from the outset. Securing the rail spot early on, he was pressed by stablemate Den's Legacy and He's Had Enough (also by Tapit), through a half-mile in :48.69. With a little more than a quarter-mile to go, Flashback began to edge away, and after Julien Leparoux set him down for the stretch drive, he bounded away with every stride to get the distance in 1:42.95.
"It was an easy race, we won easy, and this is a nice horse. If he keeps improving, I think he has a bright future," said Leparoux.
Bred in Kentucky by William G. Andrade, MD & Michael Hernon, Flashback is a full brother to multiple Grade 1 winner Zazu. The winner is now perfect in two starts. With the win, the gray or roan colt earned $120,000 for owners Gary and Mary West.
Gainesway consigned and sold Flashback as a weanling at the 2010 Keeneland November sale, with a top bid of $260,000 coming from Ben Glass, agent.

Vaginal Yeast Infections - Prevention
The following actions can help prevent a vaginal yeast infection.
- Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nonfat dairy products. Some women think that eating foods with lactobacillus organisms, such as yogurt or acidophilus milk, will help prevent yeast infections. So far there is no evidence for this connection. But eating foods that contain lactobacillus can be part of a healthy diet.
- Control diabetes. Good control of blood sugar levels decreases the risk of yeast infections anywhere on your body.
- Avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics. Antibiotics can change the normal balance of vaginal organisms, allowing excess growth of yeast.
If you practice good genital hygiene, you can also help prevent infection.

5 Health Habits It's Okay To Skip
By Virginia Sole-SmithDo you really need to eat breakfast every day? Here, five "must-do's" you can think twice about. Don't tell your mother we said so, but she wasn't right about everything -- at least not when it comes to your health. Research shows that some of those habits you've been told to maintain aren't backed up by much evidence, or even plain old common sense. Five "must-do's" you can think twice about:
Read the 5 Health Habits It's Okay To Skip article > >
- Keep your vaginal area clean. Use mild, unscented soap and water. Rinse well.
- After using the toilet, wipe from front to back to avoid spreading yeast or bacteria from your anus to the vagina or urinary tract.
- Wear underwear that helps keep your genital area dry and doesn't hold in warmth and moisture. One good choice is cotton underwear.
- Avoid tight-fitting clothing, such as panty hose, and tight-fitting jeans. These may increase body heat and moisture in your genital area.
- Change out of a wet swimsuit right away. Wearing a wet swimsuit for many hours may keep your genital area warm and moist.
- Change pads or tampons often.
- Don't douche or use deodorant tampons or feminine sprays, powders, or perfumes. These items can change the normal balance of organisms in your vagina.

Is it too late to start working out?

Posted 03/28/2011
No! Unless your doc says no because of complications. Start with something gentle, like walking. Walk slowly at first and then build up and start going faster when you start feeling more comfortable. You could also try a pregnancy workout DVD, those are usually good for beginners too. I'd say it's never too late!

An impartial host is always a good move. The second factor is to have a superpower sponsor to provide a level playing field, because Israel is negotiating from a significantly stronger position. Which nation would be willing to step forward and provide that support? The EU, UK, and Russia could all benefit from taking a bold and courageous step forward in supporting Palestine in the negotiations.

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs pitcher Josh Collmenter working on his curveball
The renaissance man of the Arizona Diamondbacks' pitching staff, Josh Collmenter made his first start of the spring season on Tuesday when he faced the Oakland A's at Salt River Fields. He threw two innings and gave up just one hit while striking out two batters.
"Yeah I felt good. You know, for the most part I was able to throw my pitches where I wanted to," said Collmenter. "A couple pitches maybe missed a little bit but for the most part, first outing, it was good to get out there and see a hitter in there. I can take quite a few things away from it."
Something of note in Collmenter's outing Tuesday was the fact that he was throwing his curveball more frequently.
The 27-year-old, who is entering his third season in the big leagues, said that's a pitch he needs to continue to develop.
"That's one thing that I'm going to try and work on. I told Wil (Nieves), just call it and make sure I throw it just because I'm a lot more comfortable with it; it's just to get used throwing it in a game situation."
According to BaseballProspectus.com, last season Collmenter threw his curveball only 5% of the time. Tuesday after the game, he acknowledged that it's something that needs to change.
"There are a lot of times that I want to throw it but I'll kind of shy away from it because I'm used to throwing other pitches in a big situation," he said. "I don't want it to be the pitch that makes or breaks an outing."
Looking at the breakdown of Collmenter's pitches from last season, his four-seam fastball is clearly his favorite, throwing it 71% of the time, followed by his changeup at 24%. Out of 1,571 total pitches in the 2012 season, Collmenter threw his curveball only 83 times.
"The nice thing about spring training is I can force myself to throw it and just see what reactions I get from hitters," he noted. "You can get a lot of feedback that way."

Winter for me can be associated with two things: Comfortable food and comfortable clothes.
We're talking bulky sweaters, big warm blankets and big bowls of mac and cheese or soup. It's easy to bulk up over the winter months when your tummy is well hidden under layers and all you want is food that warms your body and soul. It's hard to find vegetables that give you that feeling, especially since many of the veggies available aren't in season and may be kind of sad looking. Needless to say, a big bowl of veggies isn't exactly what comes to mind in the winter time, but that's about to change.

Read this(1997) and when we went off to Belgium(1998), I took the latest 6-volume Proust along figuring I could read in in the one to two years we were to be there. I did well but we were there five years and only began Vol. VI -- then it languished until last year(2006) when there was some instigation on Constant Reader to form a Proust group under the Classics Corner conference -- and so we read and discussed and this month(Sept 2007, after our move to the Goodreads site) began our final volum ...more

Disappointing! If you're looking for a memoir by Phyllis Rose, author of several books, then this is the book for you. The connection with Marcel Proust is so slight – a tiny bit at the beginning and a few pages at the end – that I would not recommend it to anyone interested only in the Proust angle. Interesting literary trivia is that Ms. Rose is married to Laurent De Brunhoff of Babar fame, and there are lots of references to authors and books. In fact a 12 page list of "Recommended Reading" i ...more

I want to start off by recommending The Year of Reading Proust: A Memoir in Real Time, Phyllis Rose's account of her experience of reading the great work after years of stalling early on in the oeuvre. I'm starting with that because my responses to the work were so ambivalent and complicated that I'm not sure how this review will sound or if it will seem to be a recommendation. So I'm stating up front that I'm glad I read Rose's highly intelligent account of her life in the light of times past a ...more

I have a feeling I won't enjoy reading Proust (too verbose, too exacting, too droning on and on), so this might be as close as I come. I found the book on a whim looking for another book at the library, so I hope to finish in 3 weeks before it's due back. Wish me luck!

After spending more than two years reading Proust, I was interested in hearing an esteemed literary critic's view of the same experience. There were some worthy insights, like in the last chapter but I wanted her to dig deeper, reveal more about herself, not just the day-to-day happenings of disgruntled neighbors, the numerous false alarms of her mother's hospitalizations, and students picking flowers from her garden at Wesleyan. Yes, I presume you could make the argument that they are Proustian ...more

Some year I will also find the time to read Proust (well, probably not, but it seems like a noble goal.)
Feb 08, 2015 Lee Kofman rated it 3 of 5 stars
Rose is a very interesting thinker but the problem with her having written a memoir is that her life is so boring. Or perhaps she's just too guarded to tell the interesting bits. Instead, she writes about her haircuts, her son (who never has any issues by the sound of it) and her choice of a car... But she's definitely wise when it comes to discussing political or literary matters. I think she'd have done much better if she wrote a series of essays about her love of Proust instead of tying readi ...more

This was delightful. My own experience of Proust was more relaxed--it took me ten years from the time I began at the age of 16, till I finished the summer I was 26. But by reading it all in one year, Rose has been able to observe the interconnections between the novels more than I did at first (I've since re-read all of it several times) and her reaction to one section about the narrator's grief over the death of Albertine made me want to reread it although I swore I never would.

I loved this book because, like the author, I have been reading the 6 volumes of Proust's In Search of Lost Time (1 to go) and she refers to and comments on many parts of these books. Rose is a non-fiction writer herself and finds through Proust's masterpiece inspiration and insight. The tone of the book is conversational as Rose describes aspects of her life: family, marriages, friendships, writing, vacations, job as professor, authors and places admired, etc.
May 03, 2013 GONZA rated it 2 of 5 stars · review of another edition
I chose this book because I found it used and because I also thought of using at least a year to read Proust, it took me less, but I was pleased to discover the thoughts of this writer about it. Clearly there is little Proust and much of her life in this book, but there are significant connections that she makes between what happens to her and the way that Proust had to face the same problems. For lovers of the genre.

At turns poignant, funny, catty, engaging, pretentious, and literary, I found this memoir of Rose--with only minimal examination of Proust's work as a backdrop to her own experiences--both fascinating and alienating. While I found her writing strong and smart, I also found the representations of her literary circle exhausting in their ambition and drama. I enjoyed it, but discovered that I had zero interest in wanting to be part of the who's who literary crowd. I did, however, get a great number ...more

I love to read about what authors like to read, because what they've read helped them to develop as writers. It's also interesting to "hear" how a book or group of books influenced soomeone's life. Rose's reading of Proust helped her to realize that life isn't always about rushing to do the "next thing", but that savoring the moment, however mundane the moment, brings more joy to life. I think that's a good lesson to learn.

Shelves: biography-or-autobriography
I was a little disappointed in reading Ms. Rose's autobiographical sketch, which had few of her keen observations, she is noted for in her great biographies (see Virginia Woolf and Josephine Baker). I think her observations about reading Proust would have made an excellent Book Club on Goodreads. Of note, I learned out to officially say the authors name (proos). Make your lips into a big "O" when saying it.

I figured reading this book would be easier than, well, reading Proust. The associations are very subtle; it's mostly a memoir with Proust-inspired reflections. Loved the author's writing style, and I will definitely read more of her books.

One Moon - One Sun - One World - One Heart
I am a very personable, outgoing and funny girl. I am also very dedicated to my kids and profession. I believe the first thing to a lasting relationship is a strong friendship. I love all fine things in life, but the most important thing is to be able to survive in todays society. Everyone has the same emotions. Everyone has the same feelings. Everyone has the same desires. No matter where we live or what we believe in, all hearts must be one.

I enjoy or would enjoy pretty much anywhere from being in a snowed-in log cabin to being on a deserted island as long as I am with great company.
I enjoy boating, water sports, fast cars, anything challenging! .....also cuddling up with that special someone on a stormy day watching movies and listening to crackling thunder.
I enjoy traveling, dining out, dancing, spending good times with quality people or just staying home with that one special person.
