Novel of the week
Adam Thirlwell Jonathan Cape, 280pp, £12.99
Adam Thirlwell Jonathan Cape, 280pp, £12.99
by Phil Whitaker Published
At 24, Adam Thirlwell is a conspicuously youthful writer. In January he was named one of Granta magazine's 20 best young British novelists, even before his first novel appeared. His inclusion - along with Monica Ali, also unpublished at the time - caused a stir. Now, finally, we get to see what all the fuss was about.
Politics is set in fashionably multicultural north London. The novel opens with Moshe, a small-time actor attempting anal sex with his Jewish girlfriend, Nana, who is handcuffed to the bed. It isn't going well. Moshe desperately wants to be a successful sodomite, yet he is crippled by self-consciousness; his every lick and thrust becomes a parody of the fantasy he had envisaged. Nana, too, is hoping for something more.This is the last in a long line of progressively extreme sexual excursions, none of which has resuscitated their dying relationship. The rot set in the moment they formed a menage a trois with Anjali, a bisexual actress. Nana has also recently discovered that her beloved father is dying. The spiralling depravity of her private life troubles her, so starkly does it contrast with her sense of herself as Daddy's little girl.
Thirlwell is interested in the politics of the personal - the discordance between the exterior world of words and actions, and the interior life of thoughts and feelings. Encounters between his characters are probed and examined from every conceivable angle. Frequently these are sexual, and Thirlwell's anatomically explicit descriptions have a distinctly hard-core flavour. Yet Politics is not pornographic; it seeks to subvert the sanitised perfection of sex as it is portrayed in films and literature. The characters are afflicted by a gamut of unglamorous frailties, both physical and psychological, and set against these, their cloacal contortions assume an almost endearing pathos.
Thirlwell's unnamed narrator observes the protagonists' antics with an aloof objectivity and launches into diverting, though at times pretentious, cultural-historical digressions at the slightest provocation. While this adds to the comedy of the novel, Thirlwell exercises little control over his creation. The narrator looms too large, constantly interposing himself between reader and characters. At every turn we are told how we should feel about events, and what conclusions we should draw about the characters and their morality. It is unwise to patronise an audience - especially when insisting upon sentiments and reactions that the reader has had no chance to develop. Even if one is prepared to go along with all this as so much postmodern japery, it's hardly new. After all, writers such as Italo Calvino and Milan Kundera have done it long ago, and with a great deal more finesse.
Despite these problems, and the slightly repetitious prose style, Politics shows promise. Thirlwell displays a pleasing ear for the rhythms and pronunciations of the spoken word, and offers some good insights into the mixture of motives, and the failures of understanding, that characterise our interactions. But the cumulative effect is enervating. Once Thirlwell puts Kundera back on the shelf and discovers his own voice, he will produce far better novels. This one insists that politics with a small "p" permeates every facet of human life - read into it what you will.

Originally written on The 6th Sens | Last updated 7/27/12
The noon deadline has passed and Bobby Butler has gone unclaimed after the Senators put him on waivers. Having cleared, the next step for the Senators to rid themselves of Butler's contract is to buy him out. (Update: And as I was writing the final paragraph of the post, the Senators have officially announced that they have bought him out.) In the second year of a contract that would have paid him $1.2 million this season, because Butler is younger than 26 years of age, the Senators can buy him out at one-third of his contract value. Such a buyout would be spread out over the course of the 2012/13 and 2013/14 seasons.The Senators will pay Butler $200,000 in real money but according to Capgeek, the cap hit on a potential Butler buyout will be $50,000 in the first year of the deal and $200,000 in the second. (Note: Steve Lloyd has reported that the Butler's cap hit will actually be $75,000 in the first year of his deal and I'm not sure what accounts for the discrepancy. Nor am I inter...

1914 Boston Garter Color Rabbit Maranville SGC 40 VG 3 - One of Two Graded. Walter "Rabbit" Maranville was diminutive (he stood 5'5" and weighed under 160 pounds) in size but was a sturdy shortstop who had speed (thus his nickname) who loved to entertain and play jokes on his teammates. When Maranville retired, his 23 years of service was a National League record. His sole World Series championship came the very year this rare Boston Garter display card appeared as part of the now famous "Miracle Braves" of 1914. His ability was duly recognized here, placing him among only a dozen subjects, most of whom have been enshrined in Cooperstown. The front shows one brief segment of wear in the bottom edge near the lower left corner and modest corner wear. The reverse displays a small area of surface loss in the upper right corner, one short surface scratch in upper left corner and some light staining/age toning. As one of only two copies ever graded by SGC, this is rare opportunity for the type collector wishing to fill a entry missing from some of the most advanced type-card collections or for the Boston Garter specialist determined enough pursue a complete set of the small but extremely rare series.

N. Korean leader urges more rocket launches
Published on Dec 14, 2012 6:28 AM
SEOUL, South Korea (AFP) - North Korea's leader has ordered more satellite launches, state media said on Friday, two days after Pyongyang's long-range rocket launch triggered global outrage and UN condemnation.
Kim Jong-Un, who oversaw Wednesday's launch, said its success underscored the need for "to develop the country's science, technology and economy", according to the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA).
North Korea says it placed a satellite in orbit for peaceful research, but critics say the launch amounted to a banned ballistic missile test that marked a major advance for the communist state's nuclear weapons programme.
The UN Security Council held emergency talks after the North, already under international sanctions for nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009, ignored pleas from friends and foes and went ahead with the launch.

"Business Trip": The Netherlands, Germany and Belgium
**Edit: If anyone can help me resize the pictures, please let me know... I'm not sure how to fix this**
When I found out my company was sending me to the HeliTech conference in Amsterdam, then straight to Orlando for the NBAA conference the following week, I was excited. It seems as if I'll have a weekend in between... what could I possibly plan for that idle weekend in Europe?
It seemed like Silverline was the best place to rent a bike in the Amsterdam area. They had a Street Triple (the bike I bought once I finally got home), a Monster, Hypermotard, V-Strom. Not being sure what I was going to get myself into, and the fact that I would be heading into Germany, I went with their BMW F800GS.
I went through a lot of phases during my trip planning, first thinking I should go down to Bastogne, the scene of one of the most important battles of WWII. Then, I thought maybe I would try to hit as many marquee towns and cities as I could, to pack in as much as "I've been there" as I could. Finally, with the help of inmate Zender, I had a route:
Friday: Amsterdam to Drolshagen, Germany, a small town in the Sauerlands with a motorcycle-centric hotel called Landhotel Haus Dumicketal
Saturday: Ride around the Sauerlands, and head down through Belgium, and up to Nijmegen, The Netherlands
Sunday: Leave Nijmegen early to return the bike in Amsterdam and get on a 1:30pm flight to Orlando, FL
After a great week roaming around Amsterdam, it was Friday morning and I was time to pick up the bike. The first problem was that I had 2 huge suitcases that was a combination of work clothes, product and marketing materials for the conference, plus my moto gear, including a small backpack and a magnetic tank bag (more on that later) inside one of the suitcases. The people at Silverline were great and let me store all my stuff at their shop while I was out.
I have to say, the bike was in incredible shape - brand new as far as I was concerned. I chose the Givi case instead of panniers because I had never ridden with panniers and I'm from California, used to lane splitting etc. With the narrow roads, I wasn't comfortable with panniers sticking off the side. I don't have any experience on a bigger bike like this - the bikes I have owned were a Ninja 500, Daytona 675, and now a Street Triple R. It turned out to be the perfect size for my stuff.
As you can see, and as many of you may have already predicted, my idea of a magnetic tank bag on an F800GS wasn't the brightest idea. The tank is plastic, and I thought I was screwed. Luckily, Dennis from Silverline had some straps that I could use to mount the tank bag on the rear seat. It ended up working perfectly, maybe even better than if the bag was in front of me because it was out of my way and very secure.
It had rained in Amsterdam every day that week, so I was worried about riding a "big" (vs what I am used to) motorcycle in a foreign country in the rain. As it turns out, the skies cleared just as I was about to set off.
As part of the rental package, I added their TomTom satnav system. It was great to have, but it has a couple issues. First off, it is NOT connected to the bike's battery, so I could only plan on about 4 hours battery life. This was a little concerning when I planned to ride all day and I really didn't know where I was going. The other issues was that it took FOREVER to calculate a route. I was trying to use the "find twisty roads" and "avoid highways", which I am sure adds to the processing power, but I"m talking about 15 minute calculation time for a 160 mile route. Then, if you make a wrong turn, it has to re-calulate the whole thing! /rant
So, after that wrong turn, this is what I had:
Somewhere between Utrecht and my destination in Germany, I learned that you have to pay to use the restroom at a gas station in Europe...
After experiencing the Autobahns' speed, it started to sprinkle a bit. I took this opportunity to stop and put on my new BMW ProRain suit. I really probably didn't need it, but I was anxious to try out the new suit and it was getting a little cold, so it helped there too.
Finally I made it to my hotel in a tiny town in rural Germany, and was glad that they had a garage for me to put the bike. Note the American flag hanging on the wall! They had a picture of the twin towers on the staircase wall too.
To me, the countryside in this area was incredible. Just a beautiful fall scene. Here's a picture I took from the balcony in my room:
I called it any early night. I was by my self, and the hotel was EMPTY, so there wasn't exactly much to do.
The next morning, look who arrived:
Inmate Zender met me at the hotel for a full day of riding. I really have to thank him - he led the way for our route that day and I saw a lot of great roads, towns, and even a tourist attraction or two!
We stopped in Cologne to see the gothic cathedral, which was amazing. It's so big it was hard to get a good picture.
Zender clearly was more experienced in this than I was, as he brought roadside cookies and chocolate. He rides with a full coffee making kit too, which unfortunately we didn't have time to try!
This one's for Zender... a church somewhere in Belgium:
We had some great pizza in Belgium too. As an American, I'm always interested in trying pizza from other countries. So far, Belgium and Brazil take the cake (pie?) for me. Much better than the Domino's I had here last night...
That night (Saturday), I stayed in Nijmegen so that I could make it back to Amsterdam to make my flight on Sunday. The hotel let me park the bike off to the side.
Early Sunday morning, I left right before sunrise to return the bike. I wish I had pictures of this, but I was on the highway during sunrise, with the colors of the sky acting as an amazing backdrop to the windmills on the side of the road. It really was a great way to end the trip.
All in all, I was happy I bought the bike back a little dirtier than I picked it up...
Lastly, I had a GPS/Iridium tracking system with me for the whole trip. Here's the tracks. Note that it ran out of battery as we came north from Belgium to Nijmegen. Nothing to see on that part anyway- it was dark and we were on the highway just trying to get home.
Big thanks to Zender for helping me with the trip planning and for spending a Saturday riding with me!

What a nice ride that was. Good to see all that nice German mud on the bike , although that forest path was a bit to enthusiastic. The weather was great, slowly being roasted in black leathers, and eyes becoming irritated from the continuous sun. Even with polarized sunglasses, it was a bit to much at times.
And just for those who want to know:
Nijmegen -> Drolshagen -> Cologne -> Malmedy (cookie break) -> Visé (Pizza break) -> Nijmegen (taking the A73 from Maastricht)
I must confess that I actually had no idea where I was going other than those towns, and trusting that this region of Belgium and Germany has some nice twisties in there. Without sat nav, it would have been impossible.
Thanks for the great ride Matt, the first (of I hope many) inmate I've met face to face. If I find myself on the other side of the big pond I'll let you know.

A public water reservoir dating to the First Temple period was unearthed next to the Western Wall.
The discovery unveiled late last week shows that "It is now absolutely clear that Jerusalem's water consumption during the First Temple period was not solely based on the output of the Gihon Spring, but that it also relied on public reservoirs," said Eli Shukron, excavation director on behalf of the Israel Antiquities Authority.
The reservoir was discovered in the archaeological excavations that are being conducted in the Jerusalem Archaeological Garden at the foot of Robinson's Arch. The excavations at the site are being carried out by the Israel Antiquities Authority, underwritten by the Ir David Foundation, and in cooperation with the Nature and Parks Authority.
The reservoir was discovered during an archaeological project in which the drainage channel of Jerusalem dating to the Second Temple period is being exposed.
Some parts of the Second Temple drainage channel were discovered to have been built on top of structures from the First Temple period.
"While excavating beneath the floor of the drainage channel, a small breach in the bedrock was revealed that led us to the large water reservoir," Shukron said. "To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that a water reservoir of this kind has been exposed in an archaeological excavation."
The reservoir has an approximate capacity of 250 cubic meters, making it one of the largest water reservoirs from the First Temple period to be discovered in Jerusalem. It is believed that the reservoir was used by the general public.

The nuts and bolts of the mammoth wind turbine testing machines in Clemson University's $100 million Energy Innovation Center were first turned a century ago in boys' corn clubs and girls' tomato clubs across the state.
Then and now
A few examples of historic and current Clemson Extension programs in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties:
Corn Clubs for Boys
Home Demonstration agents
Tomato Canning Clubs for girls
Carolina Yards Online course
Farm Accounting and Financial Analysis
Food Safety Workshop
Fact Sheets on landscaping, gardening and indoor plants, various species of trees
For more information and additional resources, go to www.clemson.edu/extension/hgic/.
Clemson agriculturists would ride the trains out to teach farm families new ways to grow and preserve food. It was in the years before World War I; boll weevils, drench and drought were playing havoc with the cotton money crop and food crops.
"High tech" gasoline-powered tractors and chemical fertilizers began coming into widespread use. The farm field, in other words, was changing in front of the eyes of people who were working with traditional methods handed down over generations.
That was the birth of the Clemson Cooperative Extension Service, the model for the national cooperative extension program of teaching new agriculture skills that farm families needed to keep up with a new world.
The "Clemson Model" became the basis for the national Smith-Lever Act, authored by Georgia senator Michael Hoke Smith and S.C. Rep. Frank Lever. Lever was a Clemson life trustee and devoted to the needs of agriculture and farming interests in South Carolina and the U.S.
The act, established in 1914, formalized a state-by-state national network of educators to "take the university to the people."
Clemson Extension Service's influence persists in the Lowcountry while its mission has shifted again in today's changing climate.
Adapting to change
The turbine facility is just one example of the agriculture-based university's reach, created to drive new industry in the state riding the cusp of the emerging wind-power industry, and to help train residents to work in that industry.
The extension service, too, has been adapting techniques and programs to meet new demands. A small agriculture laboratory was built south of Charleston by Clemson College in the 1930s to support truck farming after the cotton industry collapsed on the Lowcountry Sea Islands.
Today, it's the 235-acre Coastal Research and Education Center, run in cooperation with the extension service. The center develops and teaches about sustainable vegetables and specialty crops, along with organic pest management techniques to protect them.
The days when more than 50 tomato farms operated on the Sea Islands are long gone. But the extension, and really the entire university's agricultural emphasis, fosters today's Lowcountry in subtler ways, such as exotic restaurant plates.
Charleston chefs who toured the Far East came back with produce that Greg Johnsman had never seen. They asked him if he could grow it for them.
Johnsman, an Edisto Island farmer who owns Geechie Boy Mill and mills its renowned Geechie Boy Grits, did the research to sort out what would or wouldn't have a chance of making it, and began growing crops not seen before in the region.
He has a master's degree from the university in agricultural education.
"It gave me the research mindset," he said.
P.J. Gartin of Charleston became a master gardener in an extension program after deciding she wanted to putter around her yard.
"I didn't really know that much about horticulture. The county agent became my best friend," she said. The interest became a passion launching her career as a gardening writer. Her first book, in fact, was written with an extension agent.
She volunteered in the extension for years on the phones to answer simple growing questions that occasionally saved lives, such as the time a man wanted to use arsenic to kill bugs in the garden and his leery wife called to ask.
The old cotton and crop farms are falling by the wayside, the land bought now to hunt or develop. Oddly, though, the number of farms is growing. Agribusiness is still a leading industry, but more and more, it's a mix of high-tech operations, timbering or niche farms custom-growing specific crops.
Clemson Extension played a role in teaching the generation of farmers that became the mentors of Lowcountry farming today.
Now the extension helps farmers and gardeners with broader scope efforts like seeking to control the kudzu bug, which devastates the grain crops that Johnsman grows.
"The knowledge has been with the farmer. Now it's shifting back to Clemson Extension," Johnsman said.

Groovin' Granny is too sexy! Too sexy for her cane, too sexy for her walker, and way too sexy for underwear, so she rips off her red bra and swings those long, saggy boobs of hers. Sung to Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy," grandma lets us know that she can shake her floppin' booty and flabby tits with the best of them.
It's the little Groovin' Granny, she loves to streak yeah! Sung to the tune of Jan and Dean's "Little Old Lady From Pasadena," streaking granny is running nude through a yard near you. As she flaps her naked heinie, the neighbors sing "Go Granny, Go Granny, Go Granny, Go!"
We're spreading smiles every minute with FlowGo's cute cartoons and funny videos. Adorable babies, silly songs, virtual flowers, jokes, inspirational quotes and much more from your friends at FlowGo, the happy site!
Groovin' Granny is obsessed with singing about gazongas! We see boobs of every shape and size on some surprising people, such as Brad Pitt, Michael Jackson, President Bush, Tom Cruise and the men of King of the Hill. The Knack's "My Sharona" becomes "Big Gazongas" as Granny explores the many nicknames our culture gives to breasts, tits, boobies, melons, or whatever you want to call them.
Granny is back and gets her groove on to the Insane Ketchup Dance!
Groovin' Granny returns with another version of "Don't Cha" by the Pussycat Dolls. This time grandma has two friends backing her up. Granny sings, "Don't you wish your granny was sweet like me? Don't you wish your granny had no teeth like me?" Once again she's swinging her tits around, but this time granny found her a grandpa homeboy.
Come on, Viagra! Won't stop 'till I get it up! Granny is in for the night of her life thanks to that little blue pill!
We're half way through the week, and granny wants you to have a little fun!
"Social Security: The Musical" throws just about every pop culture reference into this clip about the impending doom of the Social Security deficit. They want to privatize the social security pot and that means old people like Groovin' Granny will have to work until they die. Celebs like Jay Leno, the American Idol judges, Snoop Dogg, Donald Trump, the Clintons, and the 2008 presidential hopefuls weigh in on the problem.
A funny (and true!) story about an elderly woman pulling a gun on a group of would-be car thieves.

MINNEAPOLIS The Minnesota Vikings kept pace in the NFC North with Sunday's 21-14 win against the Arizona Cardinals and did so the old-fashioned way, with a strong running game and stout defense. Minnesota (5-2) continued its early-season momentum thanks to an all-around defensive effort Sunday and 153 yards rushing by Adrian Peterson, holding on after developing an early lead. Sunday's victory wasn't always pretty, but the Vikings again did enough to come away with a win. Here's how Minnesota stacked up against Arizona (4-3): Pass offense: F If the Vikings had more of a threat in the passing game, they might not have needed to sweat out a final onside kick by the Cardinals and a first-down run by Peterson at the end to run out the clock. Quarterback Christian Ponder threw two interceptions for the third straight game, another one leading directly to a touchdown. After being the final quarterback in the NFL to throw an interception this season, Ponder has given the ball away too...
