Keep Your Identity: Don't wait until your data is compromised and stolen
If last year's robust activity is any indication, we should all be bracing ourselves for some large scale identity theft activity...and very soon.
It's worth a reminder that by the end of January 2012, we'd already had 27 separate and distinct data breaches resulting in stolen identities. Receiving the most attention a year ago was the Zappos.com date breach. In the mere blink of any eye, 24 million of their customers personal identifiers were no longer private and secure.
So, what can we learn and how do we prepare? First of all, we must accept the premise that we are dealing with some very bad people. The digital dangers of identity theft are lurking in every corner of our highly-networked universe. At iSekurity, we believe that pushing back hard is the proper approach. There will always be those that pretend nothing is wrong, or since they themselves (or no one they know) haven't experienced identity theft personally, perhaps too much is being made of this whole "identity theft business."
In a general sense, though, people say they are concerned about identity theft, yet they really don't understand it. In a focus group our company conducted, more than 80 percent of people thought identity theft was a big deal, and something they should be concerned about. Those people are correct.
The evidence is clear: much of what each of us can and should do is almost too simple-like, routine checking of your credit reports, encrypt your computers database and arm it with strong protection/preventative software. Here's a sad fact. The barbarians are no longer at the gate...in fact, they're in our homes and eating off our best china. In 2013, let's take a quick look at what may well be the most fertile of battlegrounds to where the fights must be taken.
Mobile devices: Never lose sight of the fact that the smartphone in your pocket is a huge data storage device; as such, it's like a bullseye on your back. We use smartphones to communicate our most detailed thoughts and private information, figure out where we are and telegraphing where we are going, check bank balances, etc.
Insider threats: Identity theft and general mishandling of personal information within a company can come from two forms with the "inside job:" one with access to such information does so willfully, or an identity criminal simply tricks or dupes such a person into handing over the goods, so to speak.
Either way it's a big win for the identity thief, because it avoids much of the usual digital poking and prodding necessary to extract this kind of sensitive information. The only thing left is to tap into the company pipeline and grab up as much account information and network passwords as possible. This can supply them with untold amounts of personal data for as long as they can mask the breach.
Medical identity theft: Does this have you worried down to the core? It should! At the very unfortunate root of this very personal grab at highly-sensitive data was — and is — the push to digitize medical records and data...simply because we can!
Where it has gone wrong in so many cases is that the programs where this identity, insurance and financial information is to be kept has spawned many system-design flaws and sloppy data-handling (lack of proper input training), to name but a couple of the chief culprits.
Of course, there's also data theft and irresponsible handling — or outright loss — of this information by third party contractors. This kind of susceptibility of electronic health records to theft has become a virtual magnet for identity thieves. Far worse, it carries the potential of deadly consequences for its victims since this information can be co-mingled or otherwise carelessly switched or wholly deleted by thieves.

text: It's common for families to talk during meals, and this includes the children. Having stayed with a Japanese family (mother, father, and child), it seems to be common and normal. I don't think that "children should be seen and not heard" mentality is the norm, as I've never seen it. Kids to me, imo, are actually quite pampered.Nope, never saw that. They just close their eyes, clap their hands and say it.While I'm at it, I may as well ask more about "gochisousama deshita". I imagine the person thanking turns their eye contact to whoever prepared the meal, holds their hands in the Namaste position, and says this, essentially saying thank you for the meal? Anything else to this?

Mid-South Memories: Jan. 13, 2013
25 years ago: 1988
The national Music Museum and Hall of Fame that Memphis lost to Atlanta four years ago is up for grabs again, and a more determined Memphis wants another shot at it. When Atlanta was awarded the proposed museum in March 1983, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS) was aiming for a Sun Belt location with a major tourism base. Atlanta had a better track record than Memphis, academy officials said. Since then, Atlanta and the NARAS board have not been able to come to an agreement on details for the proposed museum, said Richard Ranta, treasurer of the Memphis and Shelby County Film, Tape & Music Commission and a national vice president of the NARAS board.

I sent my son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter (10) and grandson (8) on a three-hour bay fishing tour. They came back excited (all four had caught redfish)and bragging about the boat and its captain.

Jay Adams helps us to understand the importance of Theology in counseling, and presents it with the very important way to apply it to our lives. This is an excellent book, a must for every Biblical Counselor's book shelf.
Roger Walker5 Stars Out Of 5December 26, 2007Roger WalkerThis is an excellent text, at any level of education.I can see its use for the Pastor or biblical mind science professional.With this text, one could delve deeper in both theology and applied understandings of the mind.The Autor was authentic--and self aware of his own limitations--and the text's limitations. Principles were, correctly so, dogmatic--but the Author was not the source of dogmatism. In that, the book was balanced.It has biblical depth and exemplifies Christ-centered compassion.There is a fair and balanced analysis of competitive world-views--as it does not twist and distort--but is factual.Biblical salvation and redemption, with the power of the Holy Spirit--is the change agent or agent of change, in sharp contrast to the secular model of subjective moral relavitism.
Dr. Robert W. Kellemen5 Stars Out Of 5March 29, 2005Dr. Robert W. KellemenIn, "A Theology of Christian Counseling: More Than Redemption," biblical counseling pioneer, Dr. Jay Adams, offers a solid theological foundation for Christian counseling. As he notes, many people have written theologies, many have written counseling manuals, but until his book, no one in the 20th century had attempted a focused theology of counseling.Dr. Adams discusses the ten classic doctrines of the historic Christian tradition, providing an introduction to evangelical theology. He then relates each doctrine to the field of biblical counseling. As his subtitle suggests ("More Than Redemption"), the Christian life does not end at redemption, but begins there. Thus, much of "A Theology of Christian Counseling" appropriately focuses upon sanctification (the doctrine of the Christian's growth in grace). Adams is at his best here as he dissects the process of putting off the old way (mortification or, as he calls it, "dehabituation") and putting on the new way (vivification or, as he calls it, "rehabituation").In his introduction, Dr. Adams states that "A Theology of Christian Counseling" was meant only to be a first salvo. He asks that others come behind him and develop more in-depth theologies related specifically to biblical counseling. In this sense, Dr. Adams stated the one limitation of his own book--though an excellent start, its breadth of coverage leaves it lacking somewhat in depth of theology and in depth of methodological application. However, as an introduction to the field, there is none better.Reviewer: Dr. Bob Kellemen, author of "Soul Physicians: A Theology of Soul Care and Spiritual Direction" and "Spiritual Friends: A Methodology of Soul Care and Spiritual Direction."

all of the skies will be blue for all my life.
In general--ever since I was a little kid I've always woke up with a smile on my face(when I get up, I'm not much of a morning person;). I think this reflects my outlook on life--I approach everything with a smile and I like to stay up late. I'm bicoastal. But my California Driver's license(the same one from the movie License to Drive) is still one of my most prized possessions. Having lived in NYC for most of my 20s, California not only taught me there were more things in life than work--but that there was a whole time zone of people who lived that way and its called the West Coast. I also spend a lot of time back East now (which helps me to keep things real--did I tell you I'm lucky?) and as long as I get to play outside at least once a week, I've been able to bring this with me. I work damn hard, but when we hang out its going to be replenishing, resting the over-used "work, work, go, go" part of the brain because that's important to me. What I'm doing with my life The biggest thing going on for me right now is I'm a Managing Director of a start up I founded after the Obama campaign. I've created something that's flexible fulfilling on so many different levels. I describe it as the reason I first when into journalism--whatever day I entered the newsroom, I never knew which story I was going to be sent out on. Each day is something new and exciting. We produce and make our own shows on whatever we want and come up with ways to fix our government and represent hollywood types, often in the same hour. My life right now is pretty awesome--I work with great people and I have so many creative projects going on right now I really feel lucky to be alive.

Sorry if this has been answered before, I read quite a few pages (but not all 110 of them...), and followed a few links, but didn't find the answer:
Is this fooling of the air temperature sensor needed because oxygen sensors are too slow to keep the optimal (stoichiometric) fuel/air ratio during acceleration?
Good question, I'm surprised it hasn't been asked before.
First, the purpose of the O2 sensor is to allow the ECU to control the oxygen levels in the exhaust, in order to supply the catalyst. The catalyst creates a chemical reaction between the oxygen and hydrocarbons in the exhaust, and will not function without the correct oxygen supply. The primary purpose of the O2 sensor is control of Exhaust Gas Oxygen (EGO), not the control of combustion mixture. Read that sentence again.
The motor has different operational ranges, or modes let's say. Acceleration is one of those modes. The ECU controls the exhaust oxygen differently based on which mode the motor is operating in.
Motor acceleration is always preceded by another control mode called Transient Throttle Enrichment, sometimes known as Throttle Tip-in. These two modes, Throttle Tip-in followed by Acceleration, create a difficult control problem. Let me explain.
The ECU must serve many masters. The drivability master, the power master, and most importantly the efficiency and emissions masters. These masters, or operational goals if you will, are at cross purposes with one and other. You know, it's one of those situations where you can't meet all the objectives at the same time.
Mostly how it plays out is Drivability is first to get sacrificed. Then Power is offered up, followed by Efficiency. Emissions is always spared because at the end of the day we all must obey the same God. The Emissions Regulators.
I don't think Emissions Regulations are a bad thing, I support them. I think we need more and stricter regulations. Regulations force the development of better motor control equipment and algorithms. There's a lot of spirited debate as to which ECU control algorithm is best, but history has shown one thing. As emissions regulations get tighter, ECUs get better at motor management, while sparing Drivability. (Speaking of poor drivability, do you remember the first few generations of emissions carburetors? And the first couple of rounds of motorcycle fuel injection?)
Wait, where was I going with this? Oh yea, Acceleration and Throttle Tip-in. Those two events create the most amount of exhaust emissions. And are difficult to control in a way that feels smooth and makes good power.
This is what the IICE Air and upcoming IICE Cool are for. Smoothness and power.

I'm originally from Southern California and went to school in Orange County at U.C. Irvine. I have a Masters in International Business. I enjoy being active, healthy and staying fit. Family and friends are important to me as well. If you'd like to know more say "Hi". I didn't reveal a lot about myself for you to read on purpose. Rather we chat, talk, engage in conversation to get to know each other instead of us reading through a long page in this section about each other. Also, just because someone looks like a good match "on paper", doesn't necessarily translate in reality.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 6/13/12
Steelers running back Baron Batch was making a name for himself during training camp last summer when one bad step last summer ended his rookie season before it even really began. The former seventh round draft pick tore the ACL in his left knee while making a cut. Less than 10 months later, Batch is back on the field for minicamp. On Tuesday, he was allowed to practice without the protective blue jersey he'd worn during organized team activities. Batch called switching back to his normal white jersey another step in the process toward being cleared for contact when training camp begins in July. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound Batch could thrive as a third-down back under offensive coordinator Todd Haley's new system. Batch caught 143 passes during his career at Texas Tech.

good move IMO, he will do well.
Nice to hear. I always like it when old ballplayers return to their old teams. Welcome back Ken!
Its always nice to have a Griffey who enjoys being around the club.
I wonder if this will help the Reds get Ken Griffey Jr....
Oh wait.
I'm in the wrong decade. We did that once already.

When Ken Griffey Sr. was added to the Dayton Dragons staff last week, it marked the completion of the most major league-experienced staff in the teams 11 seasons.
Griffey, manager Todd Benzinger and pitching coach Tony Fossas spent nearly four decades in the majors, and all appear able to relate to younger players.
So congratulations to the parent Reds for assembling the staff.
Now, how about the players? A year ago, everyone in the organization knew the Reds were dumping on Dayton, a location where theyre trying to build Reds fans.
Nearly half the 2009 Reds played at one time in Dayton, and next season, that number should go over the halfway mark.
Increasingly, however, the Reds are bypassing their best prospects past the Dragons, so Dayton doesnt get to see them, and doesnt get to win.
The Reds say they are trying to develop prospects, not win at the minor-league level.
Well, hows that working out? For each of the last nine seasons, the Reds have compiled a losing record. Why not develop a prospect who knows how to win?
Its time to draft better and place those prospects better. Its time to win some games in the minors. Love seeing Benzinger, Griffey and Fossas in the dugout. Want to see a few like them on the field.
Is it even worth posting anything Marc Katz writes?

Angular cheilitis (also called perlèche, cheilosis, or
stomatitis) is a condition with deep cracks and splits at the corners of the
mouth. If severe, the splits or cracks may bleed when the mouth is opened and a
shallow ulcer or a crust may form.
Possible causes of angular
cheilitis include:
In young children, the cracks and splits often begin with
lip-licking, biting the corners of the mouth, or thumb-sucking.
Treatment depends on the cause and can include lip lubrication,
antifungal and antibiotic medicine, vitamins, and dentures for a person
without teeth.

A Friday LinkSwarm for your edification:
Your standard progressive activist has really done nothing very interesting, so he or she needs to get proper credentials, to show that he or she knows what's what, and that progressivism is what the world needs to deal with "problems"–after all, isn't life just a series of problems calling for progressive intervention? They want to see what they believe.
We, hence, have progressives making up the sort of stuff that puts them, the elite, in the center of the battle, on the ramparts, in the muddy trenches and downed helicopters with the common schlubs–the sort of worldly experience that allows progressives to tell us how to live our lives.
Not to mention the fact that they doubt anyone will ever call them on their BS. (Hat tip: Instapundit.)

Review: 101 Top Tips from Professional Manga Artists / Author: Sonia Leong / Publisher: Ilex / Release Date: April 1st
Are you a budding manga-ka, eager to become the next Katsuhiro Otomo or Hayao Miyazaki? Then here's a bright, colourful how-to guide that might well help you on your way.
Sonia Leong and her fellow contributors are all practising artists. They take you through a solid foundation of drawing basics before moving onto more advanced and interesting stuff such as character design (the importance of a good silhouette and great hair), telling your story through panels, creating movement with action lines and 'chibis' (cute, miniaturized versions of manga characters).
It's a sign of the times that much of the book is given over to digital media (and guess what they call good old paper and pencils these days? 'Natural media'.). There's plenty of detailed advice on getting the most from a scanner and programs such as Photoshop, PaintTool SAI and Manga Studio. The last section – on how to assemble your art into a finished comic, be it in print, online or as an eBook – is particularly strong, flagging all sorts of potential pitfalls. (Apparently, screentone – the dotted shading used in most b/w manga – can be particularly fiddly to get right.)
Reading this attractive guide makes you appreciate just how much premeditation goes into even the most humble manga story, something we all might want to bear in mind the next time we tear through one in a quarter of an hour. By the way, here at Starburst HQ we tried out some of the tips and ended up drawing something that looked like a samurai Mr Potato Head, but that isn't to say you won't have better luck.

From Pro Player Insiders. Check out the entire piece on this link.
A few weeks ago, there was a lot of reminiscing about the New Orleans Saints' last visit to Seattle. It was that memorable 2010 postseason affair when Pete Carroll's 7-9 Seahawks dethroned the then-defending Super Bowl champion Saints, 41-36, in the 2010 NFC Wild Card Playoffs.
But 10 years earlier, it was the club from the Crescent City who were the upstarts and a team ready to make its mark in the league.

Are you winking at me? Because that would be super.
How do you really summarize what makes you, you? I suppose I would start by saying that I just got out of a relationship not too long ago and am not trying to just rush right back into one. I thought I might see what was out there, meet some people, and see if I click with someone. So if you are amazing, fun, and are looking to be treated well, feel free to wink or send me a message. As for myself, I think most friends would say I'm a decent. I'm pretty intelligent and have always tried to behave like a gentleman. I am fairly sarcastic, and though I do know how to be serious, you will hear comments like, "that's what she said". You may not fall on the floor laughing around me, but I'd wager you'll smile quite a bit. I do tend to recall random bits of information in the course of most conversations. Do you really need to know this information? Probably not. Will your mind be blown? Maybe.... As far as my character, I'm a pretty straight/square person. I believe most people have a good idea of my character rather quickly. I have a high moral code, and I have always sought to be a person of integrity and honor. I'm definitely a golden rule kind of person, wanting to reap good karma. I have had quite a bit of schooling though I haven't manage to receive a degree as of yet. I currently work full time and I believe I have finally gotten to a point in my life where I know what I want and what I need to do to reach my goals. I plan to go back to school part time in the near future to advance my career. When it comes to dating I have found three things are a must. You must be open, you must be honest, and you must be respectful. When people close up, when they feel they have to hide things, and when they stop considering how their lives impact their partner, things tend to fall apart. Love isn't just a feeling, it's an action as well. Relationships take work and you have to be a team. That said, I look forward to meeting new people and making new friends.

nv driver and 7600GS
Can someone tell me if the native 'nv' driver in X will work with a 7600GS PCI-e card? I realise it won't do 3D acceleration, which I don't need.
I have an AMD 64X2 on an Asus board.
Ubuntu Dapper.
Re: nv driver and 7600GS
As long as you are using the nv driver from a modern X org version it should be fine. 7.1 should work fine for sure but I'm not fully sure about 6.9/7.0.
Re: nv driver and 7600GS
Thanks. Ubuntu seems to have 7.0 at the moment.

Festival of Homiletics
2008-02-22 by David Howell
I just returned from Minneapolis. We had a great time filming Garrison Keillor for the Festival. You don't want to miss this!
For a southern guy, it was plenty cold: 15 degrees below zero with a 35 below zero wind chill factor. But I still have all my extremities!
We are busy finding more hotel rooms for the 1800 plus already registered. The folks at Central Lutheran and Westminster Presbyterian are so excited about hosting this event. Minneapolis has become one of my favorite cities!
Thanks to Cindy Rigby for blogging this week!

Less to lose. . . and more?
2008-02-22 by Cindy Rigby
I'm thinking about Stephen's point that the woman may have had a lot less to lose, in terms of power and prestige, than Nicodemas. And so Nicodemas leaves his encounter with Jesus even more anxious, maybe because he in some sense "gets" what Jesus is saying. To be born again requires losing some of what one has "got," some of one's power, and some of one's prestige. Certainly, it means losing one's identity – one's self, Scripture teaches – as we have known it. (I think of what Ann Lamott says, along these lines: that the last thing she wanted to tell her liberal friends was that she "found Jesus"!). Those of us who have a certain modicum of power, prestige, and identity; those of us who count ourselves (at least on some days!) as spiritual leaders may relate better to Nicodemus, thinking that opening ourselves up to Jesus (and, for that matter, the townspeople) would be a lot easier if we were more like the woman at the well, having less to lose.
But I also think we can look at this matter another way. What I mean is this: isn't the risk the Samaritan woman takes, in being open to Jesus, in some sense even greater than that Nicodemus is being asked to take? Isn't it greater precisely because the woman doesn't have a lot to lose, and so risks losing everything? Whatever her reputation with the townspeople, she is clearly respected enough that they "believe. . . because of" her word and respond to her insistence that they go and meet Jesus. In urging them to come to the well, isn't she risking that she might be proven a fool?
I wonder if we are willing to risk as much as she who has little, but everything, to lose.
Cindy, Stephen and "Lectionary Homiletics" Highlights
2008-02-22 by David von Schlichten
What a pleasure it has been to listen to Stephen Schuette and guest blogger Cindy Rigby converse with such depth and warmth. Things are bubbling here in the tub. This is just what I need as I recover from the flu.
Speaking of salubrious, go to Free Samples from Lectionary Homiletics under Share It! To enjoy a free "Preaching the Lesson" article from Anna Carter Florence.
Janyce C. Jorgensen and others point out that this conversation between Jesus and the Samaritan woman is the longest dialogue in the Gospels. Jorgensen also notes that, in Greek, the woman's question about whether Jesus is the Messiah expects a negative answer. The woman is uncertain, has work-in-progress faith, but she still is able to be a witness. The woman still invites others to "come and see," an invitation that recurs throughout John's gospel. Overall, the passage serves to reveal Jesus' identity and put into boldface Jesus' "mission and purpose" (p. 28), which has a universal quality.
"Preaching the Lesson"
Especially poignant and salutary is Florence's question, "What would it be like to set out on our errands today, expecting that Jesus will show up, any minute?" (p. 34). We can encounter Jesus at the gas pump, the hardware store, in the person who mows his lawn three times a week, and in the woman who's up running every morning at five (p. 34).
"A Sermon: An Invitation to Life – A Water Jar Left at the Well"
William G. Davidson's sermon leads the reader/hearer to this evocative question, "What does it mean to leave the water jar?" Just as the Samaritan woman left behind her water jar, so also Jesus invites us to do likewise. What burdens do we leave behind at the well so that we can invite others to come and see?
Speaking of water, I'm climbing out of the tub to towel off and get a cold drink of water, remembering my baptism, wondering what I am carrying and what Christ wants me to lay down for his sake,
Ever yours in Christ,
David von Schlichten, Lectionary Blog Moderator
Meeting Place
2008-02-20 by Stephen Schuette
Thanks to Cindy for the amplification that makes clearer the contrasts with Nicodemus. It does seem those details could hardly be arbitrary – not only the times of day, but the contrasting ways in which Nicodemus and the woman respond to Jesus. Isn't it typical that there is more work to do with "insiders" than "outsiders" …what with all the baggage of assumptions that the (or we) insiders bring?
(Thanks, too, for the wonderfully humorous comment regarding boundaries!!)
A colleague pointed out to me the place might be significant too. There's the obvious but not-to-be-overlooked fact that Jesus speaks with a woman who is both woman and Samaritan. But my friend suggests that the well is the place where people of different backgrounds gather. All people go for water – no matter their ethnicity, politics, faith, gender, orientation, martial status, age… I know I tend to think of people in these ancient contexts as much more homogeneous than they were. Maybe it's that the leap back from our context to theirs seems greater than any difference among them, right? Wrong! Maybe the modern parallel is the quick stop.
Another interesting conversation point is the difference in anxiety levels. Maybe it's why the woman is never named. An unnamed Samaritan woman who has had five husbands may have little to lose. A named teacher in Israel has a lot to lose. Her world is "opened" with Good News. I get the sense that Nicodemus was as shaken when he left as when he arrived. Of course, the woman was shaken too, but in another way. It makes me want to know more about both of them…. "the rest of the story…"
Or maybe, in a way, we're writing the rest of the story…we who come from our different places, with our different assumptions, with our perspectives on how we measure "gain" and "loss" – all of us who have had an encounter with Jesus and can't quite shake it.

Plattsburgh Plattsburgh Public Library employees presented the Board of Directors with a list of ways to cut the budget without impacting positions.
The board, which has already voted to eliminate four positions, will review the list. But at least a couple members are skeptical if the savings will amount to even one saved position.
"This is a really serious thing," said Russell Puschak, Stafford Middle School librarian, at the Dec. 13 Board of Directors meeting at the Plattsburgh Public Library. "I don't know what happened."
The library is faced with a $167,000 deficit in 2012, an amount reduced to $150,000 using fund balance.
The Board of Directors, some under protest and stressing they had no choice, voted to eliminate four positions.
Nearly 50 people turned out for Tuesday night's meeting.
"We cut staff, we cut services," said Karen Ricketson, who works in children's services and is vice president of the union that represents library employees. "We have come up with suggestions of ways to cut the budget that would not impact positions."
The plan the employees came up with totaled $122,000 worth of cuts. They then suggested asking for $28,000 from the Common Council.
Employees suggested cutting the book budget $58,700 and instead relying on fundraisers.
"The public loves the library and wants to help," Ricketson said.
Ricketson recommended dropping attorney's fees and appointing a board member who could bring legal experience to the table.
"We do not need a lawyer involved to start negotiating a contract," Ricketson said.
Under the proposal, overtime would be cut by $7,000.
"Employees have agreed to earn overtime as comp time and not cash," Ricketson said. "Talk with us. We can work something out to help you."
Other cuts included office supplies, building repairs, equipment, postage and conferences.
Board member Harold Brohinsky, who has said he would prefer not to cut positions, referred to the list of suggestions as optimistic. He would be impressed if any new cuts could save one job.

Critical Review by Penelope Fitzgerald
SOURCE: "Luck Dispensers," in London Review of Books, Vol. 13, No. 13, July 11, 1991, p. 19.
In the following review, Fitzgerald states that it is the attitude of the older generation that distinguishes Tan's The Kitchen God's Wife.
Amy Tan was born in San Francisco soon after her parents emigrated from Communist China. A few years ago she joined a Writers' Circle, which told her, as Writers' Circles always do, to write what she had seen herself. She wrote about what she had seen herself and what she hadn't—her own experience and her mother's. She produced a long, complex and seductive narrative, The Joy Luck Club, which was one of the best-sellers of 1989. The Joy Luck Club itself is a group of young wives, stuck in Kweilin during the Japanese invasion, who keep up their spirits by playing mah jong with paper money which has become worthless. All four of them escape to California, and one of them, as an old woman, wants to tell her Americanised daughter, who has 'swallowed more Coca Colas than sorrows', what happened to them, then and afterwards. But the story at best will be no more than a fragment of the whole memory—like a single feather from a swan that has flown.
In The Kitchen God's Wife Amy Tan returns to more or less the same material, seen in a more comic but at the same time a sadder light. The Kitchen God, surely one of the most irritating minor deities ever conceived, was once a rich farmer called Zhang, with a kind and patient wife. But he chased her out of the house, spent all his substance on another woman and reduced himself to beggary. Nearly at death's door, he was carried into the kitchen of a charitable lady who took pity on the unfortunate. Ay-ya! The lady was none other than his wife! Ashamed, Zhang tried to hide in the fireplace, and was burned to ashes. But when he reached the other world, the Jade Emperor rewarded him, because he had admitted his fault, by making him the Kitchen God and entrusting him with the task of watching over human behaviour and deciding who deserved good luck, who bad. He must always be placated, therefore, with gifts of cigarettes, tea and whisky.
No problem in buying a porcelain image of Zhang at any good China Trading Company. It is impossible, of course, to get a statue of his wife. She is not an Immortal, although she tried with her tears to put out the fire that burned Zhang. Time and history may bring her into her own, though if she were to be translated, she would be the goddess, not of independence, but of consolation and compassion.
As a writer, and a second-generation immigrant, Amy Tan wants to provide a fair hearing for the past, the present and the future. The novel is told from the viewpoint of Winnie Louie, formerly Jyang Weili. At the beginning and end we hear the voice of her daughter, Pearl. Winnie's oldest friend, Helen—once Hulan—who followed Winnie to America, has decided (quite mistakenly) that she must soon leave this world, and in order to free herself from the burden of lies, proposes to tell everyone the never-referred-to story of their earlier life. Fear and embarrassment drive Winnie to do the telling herself. 'I will call Pearl long, long distance. Cost doesn't matter, I will say … And then I will start to tell her, not what happened, but why it happened, how it could not be any other way.'
It could not be any other way, not only because of human weakness and 'the mistakes that are mine', but because of the universal rule of luck. Chance determines your birth, luck decides your life, although it can be deflected at any moment by an unhappy word. 'According to my mother, nothing is an accident,' thinks Pearl. 'She's like a Chinese version of Freud or worse.' Winnie's luck has been bad. Her mother deserted her father and she was brought up on an island upriver from Shanghai by an uncle and his two wives, Old Aunt and New Aunt. She is married off to Wen Fu, a brute for whom no excuses are made. 'He would roll me over, unbend my arm, unbend my legs as if I were a folding chair.' It is a feudal marriage and her in-laws measure her worth by her husband's belch. In 1937, when the Japanese invade, Wen Fu begins training as a pilot in Hanchow with the three hundred-strong Chinese Air Force. But his unit, with their wives, have to retreat across the mountains, first to Chungking, then to Kunming. In 1949 Winnie makes her way to Shanghai, only five days before the Communist flags go up over the city. Her little son dies of a rat-borne plague, she is arrested for deserting her husband, and after a year in jail begins the painful process of bribing her way out of China. At the last moment, Wen Fu turns up, rapes her and threatens to tear up her visa. But the Luck Dispensers cause her old friend Helen to come into the room at that moment, and between them they are able to down Wen Fu.
Evidently this could make, and does make, a long, large, engrossing, colourful, comforting, first-and-second-generation saga—comforting because Winnie marries a Baptist minister and later opens the Ding Ho flower shop in San Francisco. You expect, and get, heroic mothers, bewildered sons-in-law, bizarre relations, crowded weddings, open-casket funerals where the generations join battle, and a confusion of cultures—what to keep, what to throw away. When Helen turns out her purse she finds two short candles, her American naturalisation papers in a plastic case, her old Chinese passport, one small motel soap, knee-high nylons, 'her pochai stomach pills, her potion for coughs, her tiger-bone pads for aches, her good-luck Goddess of Mercy charm if her other remedies do not work'. Corresponding to this mix-up are the beguiling variations of spoken English. (Timothy Mo has said that his Hongkong novel, An Insular Possession, is essentially about language.) Amy Tan indicates particularly well the differences between Chinese speaking Chinese to each other, Chinese speaking fluent American and broken Chinese and Chinese speaking a version of the 'funny English' which has been the novelist's standby ever since Defoe created it for Man Friday.
What gives The Kitchen God's Wife its distinction is the refreshingly sweet-sour and practical attitude of the older generation. Winnie admires her preacher husband, but she feels she ought to have got him to take a different job, because swallowing other people's troubles has changed his own luck. She herself finds forgiveness difficult. 'When Jesus suffered, everyone worshipped him. Nobody worshipped me for living with Wen Fu.' On the subject of Communism, she says she would have joined the Party if it was the best way out of her marriage. 'If I had had to change the whole world to change my own life, I would have done that.' Helen is her friend, but they tell each other lies and exasperate each other. It's true that Pearl perceives that the lies are a form of loyalty, 'a devotion beyond anything that ever can be spoken, anything that I will ever understand'. But there is no way for Winnie to express it, or even what she feels for her daughter.
In this tale of survival the future should rest with Pearl. She is the traditional carrier-on. But Pearl also has a secret to tell: she is in the early stages of multiple sclerosis. At the end of the book Helen and Winnie are preparing to take her on a visit to China, a journey of memory and forgetting and, they believe, of miraculous healing—all at cut-price through a Chinatown travel agency. But we are not encouraged to think that Pearl will be cured.
