More than 1,300 Minnesota drivers have been arrested for DWI so far as part of a December statewide enforcement campaign. State officials says the goal is to decrease those numbers. The Office of Traffic Safety's Jean Ryan says they'd prefer if no one was arrested and everybody made a decision not to drive impaired. She says a DWI arrest will ruin your holiday and could cost you your driver's license and several thousand dollars. Twenty-eight people were killed in drunken driving crashes over the last three Decembers in Minnesota.

I don't know anymore….Mississippi State is putting a 40 million dollar facility improvement project to Dudy Noble Field. Ok, that is fine and dandy that the Bulldogs want to redo the facility but does it really help College Baseball?
I am one of the few that believes this continues to widen the gap that has started to show in college baseball in the last 10 years. The SEC programs and a very select few ACC schools continue to build these shrines for the games while some lower level schools are just getting surviving.

Panalure works the best. I use it at work occasionally--admittedly with a roller transport processor which makes usng it pretty easy since it's like a color paper & needs to be handled in the dark....
at any rate, it came in 3 grades as mentioned above--low, medium & high. I think medium is all that's left now, although I have used all 3 grades and still have quite a bit lying around. It's sorta funky stuff to use, but works best with a colorhead if you have one. You can shift the tone separation around with a filter pack, and you can also punch about a half grade of contrast higher with cyan filtration--although sometimes you pick up some grain in the image this way as well. If you need to lower contrast, the only way to do it is through flashing the paper or possibly through development. The final image tone can be sorta weird sometimes and has a smoothness, for lack of a better word, that a reg b&w neg doesn't have--although occasionally certain types of negs will end up looking mushy. All in all--it's the only paper that really works good with a color neg because it's panchromatic.
Hope this helps.

So it has happened: Underworld, the most diffusely influential American novel of recent years, has begun to deliver nameable kin. John Henry Days, an extravagantly ambitious novel by the talented young writer Colson Whitehead, is an African American version of Don DeLillo's novel, attempting, like that book, to puzzle out a shattered epic from American life and history. It has many of the virtues and the defects of that earlier work; but it lacks, alas, its lucid, coherent intelligence, and it quite lacks the composure of DeLillo's often distinguished prose.
The fastest way to irritate the lions of late postmodernism is to deny them their meat � that is, to make the obvious point that Underworld is really an old-fashioned Dickensian novel, a Bleak House of the digital age, which attempts to evoke, in great detail, the interconnectedness of society. It may stream with riffs and essaylets about paranoia, the bomb, J. Edgar Hoover, the poetics of garbage, and so on; but it subscribes to the realistic, even naturalistic belief in novelistic evidence, in the idea that in order to demonstrate something it must be lavishly shown. Thus, since DeLillo believes in some vague, subterranean way that baseball and paranoia and the bomb all connect, he must write a baseball scene at which J. Edgar Hoover is somewhere in the crowd, he must tell us that Bobby Thomson's home run appeared on the same New York Times front page as the news that the Russians had detonated their first nuclear bomb in Kazakhstan, and he must follow all this, a hundred or so pages later, with a scene in which a fanatical collector of baseball memorabilia informs us (conveniently enough) that the radioactive core of an atomic bomb is "the exact same size as a baseball."
This naturalism, sometimes persuasive and sometimes a little primitive, this antique massiveness � as if a giant were shuffling historical billboards and thrusting them at us � bloats novelistic form. It pushes the book toward the garrulous and the wasteful. It tends also to the sociological and the didactic, since individuals can never be as powerful as the historical and political forces that, as Underworld has been so heavily demonstrating, shape them. DeLillo insists on connections (the atomic bomb is somehow connected to JFK's assassination and to American paranoia) as Dickens's plots insist on connections (wills, lost relatives, distant benefactors, and so on). But unlike the world of Dickens, in Underworld there are no connections at the human level, because there are no human beings in the novel, no single individual who absolutely matters and whose consciousness matters absolutely to himself.
DeLillo has said that he writes novels about "the inner life of the culture." But can you write novels about the inner life of the culture without writing about the inner life of characters? Thus the paranoid filiations that DeLillo finds in American society of the last fifty years turn out to be almost entirely conceptual; the novel simply claims this set of rather impressive connections. Yet Underworld still believes, naturalistically and old-fashionedly, in evidence. And what is the evidence? The evidence is the form of the book itself, in which everything is repetitively made to connect with everything else. The form of the novel insists: this is how it is.
Broadly, John Henry Days shares the form of Underworld; and like it, Whitehead's book is really a didactic novel that wants to be honored for not being so. It constructs, out of many varied scenes and characters, a fictional mural of contemporary and historical American life; and � as in Underworld � a vast magnet sits at the absent center of this mural, drawing all the scenes and characters to itself. It is July 1996, and the town of Talcott, West Virginia has decided to honor its nineteenth-century black hero, John Henry, with a John Henry weekend. (The story is loosely based on an actual John Henry event, held in Talcott in 1996.) The U.S. Postal Service will issue a John Henry stamp in Talcott, finally marking the memory of the superhumanly strong man who worked for the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, and who, it is said, competed with and defeated a steam drill one day in 1872, only to die a few minutes after his victory.
The novel concerns itself with some of the visitors to Talcott's celebration, and moves freely between them with confident omniscience. We encounter J. Sutter, the book's protagonist, a black freelance journalist, actually a cynical hack, from New York. He and a gang of equally cynical journalistic colleagues meet in Talcott to cover the event. They are called the junketeers, because they move from one publicity event to another, living off free drinks and meals, taking trips on the tabs of various publications, and fiddling expenses, sometimes by submitting stolen receipts.
Whitehead's satire of these knights of negative faith is often funny and inventive, though he prolongs a mock-heroic tone far too long, over hundreds of pages:
They turn to see Tiny and Frenchie, two fellow mercenaries in their covert war against the literate of America. Hail, hail. They encounter each other on the newsstands, they chafe against one another in the contributors' notes of glossy magazines, but primarily they meet like this, on the eve of war, hungry, sniffing comps and gratis, these things like smoke from a freebie battlefield on the other side of morning. At stake: the primal American right of free speech, the freedom, without fear of censor, to beguile, confuse and otherwise distract the people into plodding obeisance of pop. Their ideals: the holy inviolability of the receipt, two dollars a word, travel expenses. The junketeers are soldiers, and they hail each other.
Whitehead's satire is aimed at these journalists, and they excite some of his best writing and some of his worst. For now, it will be enough to note the slightly determined liveliness in the passage above, and its repetitiveness ("mercenaries...eve of war...freebie battlefield...soldiers" � surely time for an armistice on the war metaphors, no?), and the relentlessness of the mock-heroic tone, and the way the prose is dartingly foxed by incoherence: what does it mean to compare "comps and gratis" (itself a peculiar conjoining of a noun and an adjective, somewhat akin to writing "riches and poor") to "smoke from a freebie battlefield on the other side of morning"? What is "the other side of morning"?
Other guests include Pamela Street, a Brooklyn woman whose late father was obsessed with John Henry, and who had an enormous collection of John Henry memorabilia (reminiscent of Marvin Lundy, the collector of baseball memorabilia in Underworld); Alphonse Miggs, a shy stamp collector from Bethesda, Maryland, who has his own, sinister plans for the event; and Lucien Joyce, a p.r. chief from Manhattan who has organized most of the weekend. Whitehead pans � the cinematic image is apt � between these people, in short scenes of only a few pages at a time. In addition, as his story of the weekend in Talcott progresses, he moves backward every so often, into personal and collective memory: he fills us in on J. Sutter's early days at The Downtown News � a very loyal, not to say velvet-veiled, portrait of The Village Voice; and also on Pamela Street's crazed father; and then further back still to the middle-class Harlem childhood of J. Sutter's mother, Jennifer. The novel also splices a short chapter set inside the head of Paul Robeson, who briefly played John Henry on stage.
What else? For no obvious reason, one of the junketeers tells the story, which takes fourteen pages, of the Stones's murderous Altamont concert in 1969. We encounter Guy Johnson, a real-life black historian, who visited West Virginia in the 1920s, and wrote a book in 1929 called John Henry: Tracking Down a Negro Legend (it is cited in the acknowledgments). We spend a few pages with Moses, a black singer seen performing in Chicago, who sometimes sang a ballad of John Henry. (These pages remind one a little of the passages in Underworld in which DeLillo novelized Lenny Bruce on stage.) Most importantly, scattered throughout the novel, again in short excerpts, is a novelized evocation of John Henry himself, and his path toward his momentous struggle with the steam drill.
John Henry Days is daring, nervy, knowing, and smart. Like Underworld, it is a bristle of bricolage; but unlike that book, it gives off, despite its bulk, a curious fear of longevity, of entanglement. Its mode is generally filmic � the rapidity of cutting seems more important than the depth of scenes, as if Whitehead were continually saying to himself, "Keep it moving, keep it moving!"
Narratively, the novel is chronically restless. It is not just that we are bounced from Talcott in 1996 to Talcott in 1872, back to 1996 again, then to Harlem in the 1940s, or to Talcott in the 1920s, and so on; or that we move every ten or so pages from character to character. It is also that the novel varies its modes of storytelling: turn the page and the reader may leave Talcott to overhear a three-page conversation, laid out as a film script, between two postal workers in a bar in Washington, D.C.; or may read an imagined press release from the U.S. Postal Service, announcing the issue of the John Henry stamp; or may come upon a two-page chapter of legalese about the regulations concerning gun ownership in Maryland; or may inhabit, for a chapter, the life of the nineteeenth-century owner of the C&O Railroad.
Whitehead's book is at once wildly centrifugal and dogmatically centripetal. For although the plot moves outwards, continually fattening itself on new historical textures, almost every scene exists to dress a single theme: the novel's inquiry into the John Henry myth and its place in American life. Musicologists, singers, hobbyists, journalists, public relations flacks: they all revolve around John Henry. Even the chapter about J. Sutter's mother, set in Harlem in the 1940s, which is one of the best passages in the book, builds to a moment in which the little girl tries to play "The Ballad of John Henry" on the piano, and is rebuked by her genteel mother for playing "gutter music." There is barely a page in the book that does not mention John Henry.
This DeLillo-like level of connectedness gives John Henry Days a paranoid form, even though the novel is not about paranoia. The John Henry story is, in effect, the novel's organizing "Underworld," its political unconscious. John Henry penetrates everything here, as the bomb penetrates everything in Underworld. The effect is somewhat imprisoning, somewhat didactic; this is a themed novel, and even its moments of free and properly gratuitous life are finally brought back, by the structure of the book's form, to the mighty monad of its theme. The reader finds himself, once a new chapter has begun, living not so much in the free life of the characters as waiting for the inevitable moment when John Henry will make his inexorable thematic entrance.
It cannot be said that Whitehead's characters have much depth of life. They are lively � Whitehead allows his characters plenty of cleverness, so that his conversation often glitters � and enlivened by a generous comic spirit. But they are awarded little more than the characteristics essential to their roles in the allegory. The junketeers, as you would imagine, are cynical, knowing, shallow, verbal; Pamela Street, having been introduced as the victim of her father's obsession, stays "in character," insofar as she has one, for the rest of the book; Alphonse Miggs, the sinister stamp collector, is exactly that and nothing more; Lucien, the p.r. chief, spends the whole novel imagining life as a series of p.r. exercises. Fictively, this is very much the kind of universe in which a truck driver will think continually of trucks. Whitehead's people are defined sociologically, which is to say, allegorically; it would be very hard to describe one of these characters, were you to rob him of his occupation or hobby, or were you to take him away from the subject of John Henry.
This is not necessarily a weakness, at least not in this kind of novel: caricature, a bright blot of stable essence, can be a way of sticking to the point, and allegories need to exclude distraction. John Henry Days is, all in all, an interestingly typical, almost canonically contemporary American novel (though, to be fair, it is untypical in its intelligence and its scope); its mode is essentially allegorical; its concerns are social, historical, and linguistic (rather than characterological, aesthetic, and metaphysical); its fractured but connected pieces suggest an interest in the amassing of a web of information, a network of different knowledges; and its prose � which is always performing, present-tensed, sharp-sloppy, a kind of jolie laide mixture of the ugly and the pert � borrows freely from journalistic and technical discourses, and spills itself rapidly, sometimes inundating coherence and the drier forms of lucidity on its vivacious way.
Whitehead has a gift for allegorical patterning. One of the finer qualities of his novel lies in the intelligent way he uses the noble John Henry to illuminate, and indeed to shadow, the contemporary shallowness of his hero, J. Sutter. John Henry fought a great fight with a steam drill; J. Sutter, by contrast, is only struggling to break the junketeers' record, held by a fabled colleague named Bobby Figgis. That record is nine months' junketeering � notionally, an event a day for a year, but Figgis reached only his ninth month � and Sutter has already chalked up three uninterrupted months.
As with everything relating to the junketeers, we hear too much about "the record," too much about Bobby Figgis (Bobby Figgis, who "had been devoured by pop"), and too much about a very DeLillo-like institution called "The List" (a secret list of pliable journalists maintained by the p.r. guy). Still, there is an authentic piquancy in the prospect of two so very different challenges: John Henry, free but virtually enslaved by the C&O railroad, killed but not vanquished by the machine of the new, modern industrial age; and J. Sutter, free but unwittingly enslaved by the machinery of late capitalist information, morally vanquished by a pointless struggle. The method of juxtaposition is perhaps a little obvious, a little heavily sarcastic, as befits mock-heroic comparison. It is the kind of comparison that Swift implies in one of his poems, when he makes fun of a cynical actress by calling her "a beautiful nymph." J. Sutter (his curious name hovering perhaps close to "sutler," a camp follower selling provisions to soldiers) is judged and prodded by the presence in the novel of John Henry.
Nor is the flow of judgment only one-way. Whitehead does not employ the John Henry story as mere moral chorus. There is no reflexive reverence toward the past. He uses his collage of materials � the various ballads, the 1920s historian, the Talcott celebration � to cast doubt on the stability of the nineteenth-century tale. Who knows how heroic John Henry really was? All that is certain is that the town of Talcott, West Virginia � and, by extension, America � needs to borrow the John Henry story for its own purposes. Whitehead uncoils his various ironies smartly, chief of which is the sight of poor white Appalachians, the natives of unimportant Talcott, bulking out their negligible prestige by recourse to the possibly apocryphal story of a disenfranchised black worker.
That these ironies largely run themselves, once the novel has established its mise-en-sc�ne, does not diminish Whitehead's skill in first mobilizing them. There is often an entrepreneurial element to the finding of a story, the patenting of a novelistic idea, as Gogol knew when he forbade his friends to mention the title of his novel in progress, for fear that it would reveal the book's secret and single idea � a single, brilliant idea, which Gogol hotly syndicates in chapter after chapter. And at certain moments in John Henry Days, as Talcott flourishes its possession of John Henry, one does indeed recall a scene in Dead Souls, in which a Russian landowner who never cared much for his serfs when they were alive becomes protective on their behalf only when they are dead.
Yet Gogol wrote great prose, and Whitehead writes what might best be called interesting prose � extraordinarily uneven, and sometimes barely comprehensible, not to mention smutted with inexplicable solecisms. What most clearly distinguishes John Henry Days, what marks it as a certain kind of sophisticated, wised-up contemporary novel, is its busy, loose prose, at once highly considered � a real style � and rushingly careless. There is a curious mixture here of aestheticism and an urge to disown aestheticism; of earnestness and a fear of earnestness, accompanied by a quick scamper into the warren of irony; of literary registers (an abundance of metaphor, for instance) with harder, colder, newer discourses (sociology, new journalism, computer-speak, the vocabularies of public relations and commerce).
Whitehead's models may be various: perhaps the freaked allegorist Thomas Pynchon is somewhere behind this, perhaps DeLillo and David Foster Wallace and Dave Eggers, perhaps the fogged yearnings of rock journalism and the parish poetry of the semi-literate theorists at The Village Voice (Whitehead worked as a television critic for that paper), perhaps the mad fluency and the near-modernist pulse of e-mail. Whatever the influences, Whitehead's prose seems decidedly a contemporary instance, a prose of the virtual age that is often merely virtual: imprecise, swaggering when it should be controlled, fruitlessly dense, grossly abundant.
At his best Whitehead is a good stylist, able to fuse a journalistic smartness with a properly literary attentiveness. There is a marvelous three-page description of the John Henry fair in Talcott, full of sharp details � "the grill of the Italian sausage stand resembles the floor of a garage" � and animated by a perfect equipoise of tone, at once indulgent and haughtily amused, in a caught balance not so far from Woolf's description of an English fair in Between the Acts: "the scratching of Velcro vies for attention with distant crickets." Equally, he writes with real subtlety about J. Sutter's mother in Harlem. Describing a day when the little girl goes for the first time to an alluring basement record store and then emerges into sunlight, Whitehead writes: "The sun is twice as bright once she leaves the store, until her eyes adjust again to this average world." That adjective "average" is finely chosen, and works as literature should, compressing energies into fierce units: "average" immediately tells us a great deal about the exciting strangeness, to Jennifer, of that basement shop.
Even when Whitehead is not writing at this level, and is buzzing along more journalistically, he is frequently funny and precise, and snaps easily into aphorism. Of one of the junketeers he observes: "Dave Brown's byline is a roach whose gradual infestation of the world's print media can only be sketchily documented." Dave Brown is seen, amusingly, wearing "his trademark president-for-life khaki jacket." Later Alphonse Miggs, the suburban stamp collector, is crisply introduced: "He had a good job, for example; middle management was only a better tie away."
This lucidity only makes more bemusing Whitehead's frequent unwillingness to be lucid. There are, to begin with, many snarls of sense and grammar, some of which bespeak a sleepy or over-generous editor. At the Talcott fair, for instance, Whitehead writes that "those who walk around with pebbles in their shoes and those who remove pebbles immediately form discreet groups," when he really means "discrete." At the same fair, Whitehead writes, "the baby won't fall asleep and that little song that always works isn't today," when he should write "doesn't today." At the same fair, we encounter the phrase "Lucien and the ice cream melt in the heat at deviant rates," when "divergent" is the needed word. (Deviant ice cream sounds like ad copy for Ben & Jerry's.)
Elsewhere we read: "the public is inured against [sic] such mundane crises"; "the article elaborated about [sic] a psychological need"; "he evacuated his chair" (which sounds painful). When J. Sutter goes to work at The Downtown News, he comes home eager to tell his parents what he has heard at the office: "At dinner, he reiterated some of the dialogue from Kramer's and Blumenthal's conversations." But since reiteration generally means self-repetition ("I reiterate that..."), this sentence is impossible, and has the meaning "he said again some of the dialogue." Finally: "He tapped ash on the coarse tile of the hotel Sun Deck Lounge, eschewing for reasons of his own the elegant ashtray proximate his hand" � which one might describe as a sentence proximate gibberish.
Errors are corrigible, and certainly forgivable; but error is sewn deep into the prose here, and is not easily unpicked. Alas, one suspects that some of this is considered (as, say, William T. Vollmann probably decided to mangle his subjunctives in his last novel). Take for example that phrase "Lucien and the ice cream melt in the heat at deviant rates." Whitehead might say that "deviant" is not an absolutely impossible usage, since everyone knows what he means; or he might say that it is his task to explode the idea of possibility in English, a language constantly expanding; and even if he did not say this, he would almost certainly not consider the sentence preposterous or ugly, or else he would not have written it. He wants to import that word "deviant," he wants to make the sentence sound clever, he wants the reader to stop for a moment and figure it out, and he wants the borrowed authority of a pseudo-scientific word, just as he does when he elsewhere writes of the "emphysematous gurgle" of a pool of water, or commits this sentence: "Once in a while one of them said I love you, to flat sonant agreement from the other pillow." What is important is precisely the presence of these apparently alien words � "deviant," "sonant" � and the cool technical shiver of their official discourse. The aim is to borrow the precision that a word such as "deviant" enjoys in its own discourse, and then to assault its precision in a new, looser, literary context. An aestheticism is at work, whereby any kind of word can be claimed and swallowed by style; but this is a curious version of aestheticism, for the result is not aesthetic, or even very attractive.
It is not exaggerated to call this a kind of deconstruction of the language. And for some of this Whitehead should be praised. He yearns for a prose with modern lights. He seeks edge, bustle, interruption. The language, particularly in America, can stand some turbulence. But too often this leads to very strained effects, which run away with the writer. He tends excessively to anthropomorphize his inanimate objects, apparently in order to squeeze from them as much metaphor as he can. Thus the mountains near Talcott, which have had a road driven between them, are described as "still grudgeful after all these years at their sunderance" (a truly ugly sentence), and the strip malls in West Virginia are also given personalities: "But each creation is botched and maladjusted, it will not play with the other kids or has a morbid disposition, and subsides, inevitably, into the silence of black country road."
One chapter opens with J. Sutter leaving his motel room, wearing sunglasses: "So armed, thus fortified, J. traverses the hazy border between parking lot and gravel and the half-tamed dirt of country road shoulder, a disputed area this, every rain betrays the ceasefire in a violent push, every car wheel in and out of the Talcott Motor Lodge shifts the balance of power, foreign aid." This is straightforwardly bad writing, a squabble of excess. There is an absolute loss of control and, above all, of proportion. It might be one thing for Wordsworth to consider the Simplon Pass in this manner; but it is ridiculous for Whitehead to make this much imagery out of a road shoulder. Whitehead is drawn to border imagery. Two hundred pages later he describes Pamela, who has been smoking, opening the window of her motel room: "The breeze wants into room 14 as much as the smoke wants out, and they negotiate border crossings." Again the effort races ahead of the effect.
But it is at least comprehensible. The following sentence is not: "The place mats of Herb's Country Style aspire to the perspectives of mountain divinities, bought in bulk and fixing a century of scrabbling achievement in its just form on the diaphanous paper." If you are grindingly hermeneutic, with a morning to waste, you may at last realize, after many readings, that Whitehead is telling us that the place mats have maps drawn on them (hence they "aspire to the perspectives of mountain divinities"). Yet the sentence reads like an exercise in comic periphrasis � of the children's book kind: "U is for umbrella. An umbrella is a mushroom in deep mourning that likes to wash a lot" � not least because the syntax causes one to think that it is the mountain divinities that have been bought in bulk rather than the place mats. And the editor who let this foolishness pass failed to inform Whitehead that Herb's Country Style mysteriously becomes Herb's Family Style on the next page.
One of the culprits, again, is Whitehead's mock-heroic style, and his determination to maintain it through thick and thin. This is clearly apparent in a passage in which J. Sutter recalls being out late at night in Brooklyn, in Fort Greene. Sutter is writing a piece, and has left his apartment for some beer. He is a little nervous, since, as Whitehead tells us, with comic-solemn fanfare: "The freaks come out at night." Cautiously Sutter rounds a corner, mindful of an unlit area, "where streetlights stare blindly, handicapped by vandalism and city neglect, where shadows confab to trade samizdat decrying illumination." (That anthropomorphism again. Also, the image is not only absurd, it is inconsistent: if the shadows were distributing samizdat literature decrying illumination, their samizdat would presumably be rebelling against the yoke of illumination, which would mean that the street was, in fact, brutally illuminated.)
Standing in line at the bodega, J. Sutter sees a neighborhood addict approaching: "J. sees him zigzagging down the street, stymieing snipers of euthanasiac bent who might be roosting on the Brooklyn rooftops, an out-of-control prop plane in for an uneasy landing." It is not necessary to argue the atrocity of this sentence. What is interesting is not so much its busted coherence, its anarchy of registers and metaphors, its coarse unreality, but the phrase "euthanasiac bent." Again, a mock-heroic periphrasis: a sniper is no more a euthanasiast than J. Sutter and his friends are "mercenaries" in a "covert war." Whitehead wants this tone, this clumsiness, this quasi-political glamour, even though it sometimes lends the book a sophomoric facetiousness. (This is the same book that Jonathan Franzen described in The New York Times as "sumptuously written.")
Why would Whitehead be drawn to write in this way? Not all of the blame, after all, can be laid at the door of The Village Voice, that tuneless organ, Whitehead's quondam employer. At times, as in the balancing of John Henry's struggle with J. Sutter's struggle, the satiric tone works with considerable power and delicacy. But palpably, satire is obstructing something in the case of this sentence, and in many others like it. The character of its prose always leads us to the center of a novel's meaning. In this case, the prose suggests obstruction and avoidance: Whitehead seems to be evading not just simplicity (and it is sometimes good to evade simplicity), but earnestness and truthfulness. In place of accuracy, haze; in place of silence, noise. The Brooklyn street becomes a kind of opera set, and the book a libretto. Just as snipers are not euthanasiasts, so there are no snipers on Brooklyn roofs, not even in the roughest neighborhoods. The sentence has simply ceased to refer. It is instead crying, Look at me, look at me!
T.S. Eliot once praised Lancelot Andrewes for having a style that exhibited a mastery of "relevant intensity." A great deal of contemporary American fiction by younger writers lives off the inversion of that quality: it is bursting with irrelevant intensity. One reason for this may be that the comedy of culture has begun to seem more important, more pressing, to younger writers than the comedy of character. Our culture, which seems � and is � newly frenzied, appears to demand a corresponding frenzy of response; a way of "capturing the madness of the times." Yet correspondence is not encapsulation but surrender, as suggested by the old joke about the chameleon that landed on a tartan rug and exploded.
Whitehead ought to know this, for his novel is most successful when, from a stable confidence, it probes and pushes its historical material into fresh visibility. The power of the mock-heroic, of satire itself, rests on such a firm pedestal, a good base. Elsewhere, however, his wild evasions seem not satirical but actually an evasion of satire, and deeply weaken the moral form of his novel. Too often Whitehead writes an ungrounded prose, which draws uncomfortably close to the kind of writing that J. Sutter and his coevals might produce. The shame is that at such moments Whitehead loses his ability to referee between John Henry and J. Sutter, between the unstable past and the ungrounded present � and seems instead like a player on the side of the corrupted present, full of noise and irrelevant intensity.

On November 4th, 2008, I drove my crappy little Pontiac Sunfire (with the check engine light on) to The Ridges, an old and supposedly haunted insane-asylum (now partially home to various Ohio University classrooms and offices.)

Ultra Low Space Saving Profile
HappiJac's innovative Secure-Trac™ slides are virtually invisible to RV owners because we've reduced moving parts and drive linkage and developed a tightly integrated rail and track. Manufacturers are no longer bound by conventional space restraints and can focus more on the customers' needs rather than on hiding large and cumbersome mechanisms. The ultra-low profile allows for more options like a flush-floor look, substantial storage space or an additional bed.
Quick and easy installation and alignment
HappiJac Secure-Trac™ Fixed Frame slides feature a pre-squared frame design that makes installation and alignment simple, fast and trouble-free. Simply attach the motor (if using electric), align the factory assembled slide mechanism with the outer wall, bolt the frame to the floor and synchronize the drive rails using HappiJac's unique timing adjustment feature. The timing adjustment feature eliminates the tedious synchronization of drive rails during installation. Simply pull back on the spring-loaded drive shaft to disengage it from the drive mechanism and adjust (1/8 inch or .32 centimeter per tooth. This allows installers to easily match timing to the neighboring track base for a tight seal with the outer wall.

Aviva Premiership: Easy win for Harlequins v Worcester at Sixways
Last Updated: 20/09/13 10:51pm
Harlequins enjoyed a comfortable 37-13 victory at Sixways as hosts Worcester suffered a third consecutive defeat of the new Aviva Premiership season.
First-half tries from England internationals Danny Care and Joe Marler left Worcester with a mountain to climb, but they could find no way back as Quins skipper Chris Robshaw dominated the close-quarter exchanges and repeatedly secured possession for his team.
Nick Evans chipped in with 14 points from the boot, and all Worcester could muster was two Ignacio Mieres penalties and a late penalty try that Mieres converted as their 37-13 reversal left them with just one point from three starts.
Three yellow cards during the opening 50 minutes did not help Worcester's cause, but they were outclassed by a slick Quins outfit as second-half touchdowns followed for hooker Rob Buchanan and full-back Mike Brown before substitute Ben Botica added a penalty in the dying seconds.
Quins had a bonus point safely pouched less than halfway through the second period, such was Worcester's defensive frailty, as the Londoners bounced back from last Friday's home defeat against Northampton.
They were never seriously troubled, with Worcester slumping to one of their heaviest home losses in the Premiership ahead of next weekend's Adams Park appointment with Wasps before hosting promoted Newcastle.
Quins, though, are up and running, keeping themselves in touch with the early Premiership pace-setters.
There are still plenty of rough edges for Quins rugby director Conor O'Shea and his coaching staff to smooth out, yet the Irishman will be largely satisfied with a start to the season that augers well for bigger challenges that lie ahead.
New rugby director Dean Ryan will know their discipline needs urgent attention, in addition to first up tackling that at times was not of Premiership standard.
Quins, with a livewire Care repeatedly probing openings, had far too much in the locker, while former England number eight Nick Easter - playing out of position at lock - delivered a workaholic display.

The Hertfordshire region
Located in the south-east of England, Hertfordshire is a county that has it all. From vibrant towns and picturesque villages to rolling countryside and thriving shopping centres. Central London is a 40 minute train journey away and London Luton and Stansted airport are both located just a few miles outside of the county.
Hertfordshire is a very Green county with almost half of it being designated as Green belt land by the Government, the varied landscape is made up by scenic woodland, farmland and pretty river valleys, making this an ideal destination for walkers and nature observers. The Chiltern Hills located to the west of Hertfordshire have been designated as an Area of Outstanding Beauty.
For those wanting an more energetic holiday, a day out to one of the many towns and villages is a must. Watford is the largest town in Hertfordshire and is great for shopping and eating out. St. Albans, Hitchen and Hertford are also worth a visit.
Hertfordshire has a range of tourist attractions to visit and activities to get involved with that range from museums, stately homes and historic houses, to many modern recreation and leisure facilities.
The Chiltern Hills are situated close to the heart of England. It is an area of natural beauty with a wealth of places to visit. The property is up to an hour away from most areas of interest - whether it is Warwick Castle, The Tower of London, National Trust properties, Zoos or Theme Parks.
Weather tends to be mild, there are plenty of activities outside if the weather is good, and plenty of inside activities if wet.
The Studio is in a stunning area of outstanding beauty - much of it conservation areas. You are pretty much guaranteed to see wildlife on your stay here! The picturesque village of Aldbury is only a mile away and has two very good pubs serving food, and a general store.
The village has been used as a film location in many movies, including Bridget Jones, Midsomer Murders and Robin Hood was shot nearby too. Tring is only a little further away, with more restaurants, an M&S Simply Food and a Tesco.
London is only 40 minute train ride away, with a wealth of attractions for the visitor. More locally both Ascott House and Waddesdon Manor are 10 minutes and 30 minutes away respectively. Both are owned by the Rothschild family and are stunning properties - Waddesdon has the appearance of a French chateau and is filled with beautiful furniture. Ascott House was described as a 'A palace like cottage, the most luxurious and lovely thing I ever saw'. This was how Gladstone's daughter, Mary, described Ascott after a visit in the 1880s.
If you prefer more Medieval History, Warwick Castle or Hampton Court are both accessible (but in opposite directions!) and both offer medieval entertainment at certain times of the year.
The Grand Union Canal is very nearby, offering a number of attractions, pubs serving food, tea rooms, footpaths and boat hire available too.

Advice & Support
There is no evidence to support the claim that mercury from dental
fillings is a factor in making MS symptoms worse. Any reduction of MS
symptoms after removal of mercury amalgam fillings is most likely a coincidence
and occurs because the person has entered a period of remission unrelated to
the dental treatment. The
placebo response in people who have MS may be as high
as 70%, making it very hard to know that treatment is responsible for an
improvement in symptoms.
Some alternative medicine practitioners maintain that vapor escaping
from the mercury in dental fillings can lead to changes in blood composition,
possibly contributing to
multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms. They claim that
removing the fillings can benefit people who have MS.
Treatment involves removing mercury amalgam fillings, testing for the
optimum replacement filling material before substituting it for the mercury
fillings, and detoxification therapy. This may include nutritional support to
balance body chemistry, use of compounds to remove mercury from the body
(chelating agents), vitamin C supplements, and psychological counseling.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society has warned against the
removal of amalgam fillings in people who have MS and considers it an unethical

"She Just Likes To Fight" is currently my favourite piece off the new Four Tet album, THERE IS LOVE IN YOU, which Domino Records were kind enough to provide me. Funny thing is, I was about to buy the CD anyway. It's a beautiful album, but this is the one that's going to obsess me for a few days, I think…
2 thoughts on "Night Music: She Just Likes To Fight"
Thanks! This one's a keeper. Also, their cover of Iron Man is pretty impressive too – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QX4qZoA_jHo
Have become totally absorbed by this, and the Burial tracks too. Thanks for suggesting.

Serving size: 1/2 bagel with toppings
Already have a myDaVita.com account? Sign in to review. If not, register now.
Great quicky! I used a mini bagel and 1 ounce of cream cheese. Thanks
I'm one of those odd ducks who needs to push potassium to keep my levels maintained. I love all these ingredients separately. Together they are fab. Try jalepeno cream cheese. Yum!
Love bagels with tomato, cream cheese and a hint of onion. Thinking about making this a staple of my dialysis diet, i.e. DD.
To further reduce potassium, use a couple 1/8 inch slices of tomato, or one 1/4 inch slice. Still tastes good.
Plain bagel? Some are more in sodium than others. Great breakfast includes coffee ! Dietitian comment:Plain bagels are sometimes higher in sodium than flavored so it's best to check the label and compare brands and options. Watch out for the supersized bagels[INVALID]almost 700 mg sodium in one bagel!
I think Basil would be good also,a Basil leaf, & tomato, & onion.gonna have to try it.
I was told tomatoes are the worst thing u can eat with kidney failure??? Moderator: True tomatoes and tomato products are high in potassium. Small amounts of tomato can easily be worked into kidney-friendly recipes. It's the total amount per serving that matters. The 1/4 inch tomato slice in this recipe contains 45 mg potassium.

accumulated sketches
Here are some sketches that I dug out of my desk in as I was cleaning it... Believe it or not, I also found money labeled "Da Afghanistan Bank." I have 500 Afganis to deposit in my bank account... Enough to by half a teabag.
enjoy. Feedback is welcome... I know these defenently aren't up to even my standards though.
btw-My scanner is doing this thing when a centimeter wide yellow bar appears on every scan now. Anyone have any idea on how to fix it if possable?

Sorry about that. I uploaded my entire site (of 7MB) yesterday and then after not even having finished, I was given a message saying that I exceded my daily transfer limit. The images should be back up tomarrow.
nardfrog: I guess I assumed that the forum would be locked so that regular users couldn't create threads if that were the case. The last thing I want to do is intrude so if a moderator decides to move or delete this thread, or ask me to do so, it's not a problem.

Nice sketches. I like the top two best.
These are sketchbook scans right? Sketches are an attempt to get ideas from our mind to paper, or practice drawing something in some technique, etc. So don't worry about them "being up to your standards". I personally think a lot of the sketches in my sketchbooks are crap! But some pages kind of look good once in awhile. I've heard from many of the best that it's all about the mileage. Sketchbooks make the final drawings look better and better each time.
As far as the yellow bar on the scan, my scanner started doing that too. Unfortunately it kept getting worse. It was only a $100 scanner so I got rid of it. Sorry about the bad news there. A "work-around" is to scan in grayscale. It didn't seem to pick up the band at all then. BTW, is it a UMAX?

Bryce Tasso correctly spelled "neuropathy" to claim first place in the 2013 Alaska State Spelling Bee on Friday afternoon at the Alaska Center for the Performing Arts.
Tasso first correctly spelled "geanticline" to gain the advantage over his fellow finalists before following up with his winner. Tasso, a sixth-grader at Eagle Academy Charter School in Eagle River, placed in the top 10 last year as a fifth-grader. He will represent Alaska at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C., in May.
The runners-up were fifth-grader Christopher Hubbard of Aurora Elementary School and Carrie McCrorie of Mears Middle School.

Dellorto borns in 1933 as manufacturer of carburetors in the motorcycle industry, immediately appreciated by the main manufacturers of that period, such as Guzzi, Benelli, Piaggio and Aprilia.
Seven years later, in 1940, Dellorto joins the sport industry by realizing the SS series in aluminum.
In 1960 arrives the second-generation-carburator, those for the 4-wheels, and Dellorto becomes the official supplier of Alfa Romeo, Ford, Lotus, Innocenti, Lancia and others, never stopping the research of new products for the 2-wheels.
In the early 90's starts the production of the first injection' systems.
Prior to the new millennium, Dellorto becomes a S.p.A. Company and internationalizes its presence leaving the European boundaries towards the Indian and Chinese markets.
Thanks to its research and the huge investments, in 2011 Dellorto develops an Electronic Control unit (ECU), with software calibration and data acquisition, which manages the racing motor. With this product, Dellorto becomes official supplier for the Moto3.

undecided endings part 15 In the room, I saw a large bed, whereon laid the lady of the house. The lord and Adela stood on either side, restraining her while she thrashed violently. Adela's pack lie at the foot of the bed, a mortar and pestle sat on the end table, near the bed. The lord looked distressed, but as they looked up at me in surprise I realized something was not right.
I froze in my tracks and stood there, unable to speak or make anything of the situation. They looked at me in shock. Even Adela seemed surprised; something I had never seen before. The moment seemed to drag on, and I was immensely grateful when their attention turned from me, and back to the thrashing woman.
"Ciara, get over here and help hold her still!" Adela yelled as she and the lord wrestled to keep the lady down.
I instinctively did what I was told
undecided endings part 14 I unrolled my mental map of the house and began to retrace the path Katherine had unknowingly given me, and set off down the hall to my right. For a moment I doubted the plan would work and considered turning back and leaving the rest to fate, but Rowan's words echoed in my mind.
Do not stop or slow.
And so I continued down the hall, knowing the next few minutes were the most critical I had ever faced. My instincts told me to walk slowly and quietly, look down, and stick to the shadows, but I knew I could not do that this time.
Walk confidently and act like you know what you are doing. If you try to hide or act suspicious in any way, they will stop you, so you must be sure.
As I neared the end of the hall and prepared to turn down the very corridor that led to the lord's chambers, I sent a si
undecided endings part 13 "Last night I was here in my room, contemplating the existence of magic and wizards when I heard lots of shouting and commotion. A few moments later, my maid burst into my room all flustered and out of breath. I asked what was troubling her, and she collapsed on the floor. I rushed to her side and spoke softly to her until she came around, then asked her what had happened. She told me that a man had tried to kill my father! At first I did not believe her. Why would anyone want to kill my father? He is a kind, just ruler and has no enemies."
She trailed off, deep in thought, but time was short and we needed answers.
"What happened next?" Rowan prompted her.
"That's all I know of," she said, "after that, a guard came to my room and told me that I was to stay here until further notice.
undecided endings part 12 As we approached the high gates, the house looked much less inviting as it had when I first saw it. The guards at the gate stopped us and looked suspiciously at Rowan as he explained that Katherine had given him permission to enter. They asked about me, and he told them I was a friend and that Katherine had asked him to bring me along. Eventually they let us pass, but made us leave the pack with them. Rowan grudgingly agreed, and we walked through the gates up the broad dirt path toward the house.
The guards at the front door let us in and told us to wait at the door until an escort came to take us to Katherine's quarters. We stood there looking into the huge hall for some time. I took in every detail and tried to commit it to memory in case I found myself there again on my search for the lord's chambers. There was a large double staircase that curved
undecided endings part 11 At high noon I ducked and dodged through the crowds and took a few side streets and looped back into the square, looking back over my shoulder to be sure Allan had not found me again. Rowan was already waiting when I got there and the serious expression on his face quickly chased away the flashback I had to the night before and our cold encounter with the fountain.
"Any news?" I asked as I approached, knowing the answer before he replied.
"The entire house is in a lockdown," he said, "Last night a hooded man was seen snooping around the house. Eventually the guard caught him down the hall from the lord's chambers, hiding in the shadows. He was searched and found to be in possession of a dagger coated in a rare type of poison. He was caught before anything could happen, but security has been tightened and the guard doubled."

The on-demand ride-sharing app Lyft says it is starting limited service in New York City after reaching agreement with state and city officials to resolve regulatory issues.
New York's attorney general and Department of Financial Services say the company agreed to operate "in full compliance" with existing laws and regulations, and that it will start its city service Friday night with commercial drivers only.
Lyft also says it will suspend operations in Buffalo and Rochester on Aug. 1 while resolving issues there with state authorities.
San Francisco-based Lyft's plan to enter the New York City market two weeks ago was halted after the state officials sued. They claimed the company operates as a traditional for-hire livery service that is subject to regulations, not a peer-to-peer transportation platform as claimed.

MCCONNELL: Well, it will reframe what the Democrats recommend for America over the next five and 10 years. And I assure you, the amendments that we offer will not lay out a blueprint for doubling the national debt in five years and tripling it in 10 years. That is not what we think... STEPHANOPOULOS: But shouldn't you have to have a comprehensive approach that lays out the tradeoffs? If you just have rifle shot amendments, you don't have to make all the tradeoffs that you have to make in the overall budget.
MCCONNELL: Well, we're just sort of getting down in the weeds here over procedure. Through the amendment process, we would absolutely reformulate the Democratic plan. Whether you have a comprehensive approach or whether you offer an amendment approach is something that parliamentarians can debate, but the point is, we're going to have alternatives, just like we had alternatives when they offered the massive stimulus package.
MCCONNELL: We would have spent half as much money, we would have fixed housing, and put money back into pockets of taxpayers. So we have offered alternatives all along the way, and we will offer numerous alternatives on the budget when it comes up.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me ask you about AIG. You heard me talking to Mr. Summers about that earlier, and he said, you know, he's outraged. The president is outraged and as angry as anyone else, but there's nothing the government can do. Do you accept that?
MCCONNELL: Well, it is an outrageous situation. I wrote Secretary Paulson back in October complaining about the way AIG had been doing its business.
The point here is, if you're going to take the government as a partner, the message here, I'm afraid, to any business out there that's thinking about taking government money, is let's enter into a bunch of contracts real quick, and we'll have the taxpayers pay bonuses to our employees.
This is an outrage. And for them to simply sit there and blame it on the previous administration or claim contract -- we all know that contracts are valid in this country, but they need to be looked at. Did they enter into these contracts knowing full well that, as a practical matter, the taxpayers of the United States were going to be reimbursing their employees? Particularly employees who got them into this mess in the first place. I think it's an outrage.
STEPHANOPOULOS: And on the bank plan, the president's bank plan, we're going to be seeing the final details in the next couple of weeks, but last week, your colleague, Republican Senator Richard Shelby of Alabama, the ranking Republican on the Senate Banking Committee, made it clear that he wasn't for any kind of a bailout for these banks. In fact, he wants to shut the worst ones down. Take a listen.
SHELBY: Close them down. Get them out of business. If they're dead, they ought to be buried. We buried the small banks. We got to bury some big ones, and send a strong message to the market.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Do you agree with Senator Shelby? MCCONNELL: Well, I'm open to talking about fixing the financial system. I supported the financial rescue package back in October, and so I'm anxious to look at what the administration would like to do. I don't know whether it will end up requiring our consent or whether it will be done on the basis of authorization that's previously been given to them, but I'm willing to listen to them.
