Raegan Glugosh
Web Site:
Raegan Glugosh is not a preacher, nor even the wife of one. She's an R.N. from the Los Angeles suburbs who got hooked on the needs of Romanian babies back in the mid-1990s and has never quite gotten over it. The day Raegan discovered sections of newborn babies abandoned in maternity hospitals in Bucharest, was the day the ministry of Touched Romania took on a whole new shape. Soon they began organizing a foster care program, to place abandoned babies with loving families.
But what about preventing the abandonment crisis altogether? In 2006, Raegan and her team organized a group home for pregnant mothers in distress. "We're doing what we can to slow down the pandemic in this society, and also for women to discover the purpose for their lives and bring value to her community as a productive citizen" she explains. Both night and day, Raegan and her team are waiting to embrace yet another Romanian woman and child in need. You can read more about this at:

Monde Selection
|This article is missing information about — Of all products reviewed, approximately what percentage receive "awards"?. (July 2013)
Monde Selection is an annual non-competitive award open to food and drink products, created in 1961. It is run by the commercial company, International Institute for Quality Selections, Brussels, Belgium. Consumer products are tasted and tested in order to grant them a quality label.[1]
Monde Selection states that "This bronze, silver, gold or grand gold quality label can be compared to the quality stars of a hotel or those of the Michelin Guide."[2] However, whilst both processes are anonymous, Michelin chooses the hotels and restaurants it reviews and pays for everything. Only products who pay the Euro 1,100 entry fee are reviewed by Monde Selection. Unlike Olympic gold, silver and bronze medals, where only one of each is awarded per event, there are no limits to how many can be awarded in each category.
Entry fee[edit]
For the 2014 selection, the entry fee is 1,150 Euro per product (100 Euro discount for third product onwards in the same category), and samples have to be shipped DDP (Delivered Duty Paid).[3]
All products with a minimum score of 60% receive an award: Bronze for an average between 60% and 69%, Silver for 70%-79%, Gold for 80-89%, Grand Gold for 90-100%. In addition, there are trophies for consecutive years of high quality.[4]
80% of the products entered by Japanese companies received an award.[5]

Marian Catholic Rebounds To Wins Colts
By ialshop on Jun 04, 2014 03:46 AM
Marian Catholic Rebounds To Wins Colts Have Won Three Of Four After John Brown Jersey Five Losses
The only defeat was a 14 7 loss to South Williamsport in a game Marian could have won had it Kareem Martin 4XL Jersey not turned the ball over deep in its own territory twice in the first half.
"In the last three games, we haven't given up a touchdown defensively," head coach Stan Dick said following Marian's 14 0 win over Lakeland on Saturday. "We stumbled a little bit against South Williamsport in a game I thought we might have won."
Turnovers hurt Marian for much of the season, although the Colts got a http://www.nflcardinalsofficialshop.com/Kareem_Martin_Jersey_Cardinals fumble recovery and and an interception in the early going against Lakeland. The turnovers set up both of Marian's touchdowns.
"We had it go against us early in the year, and we felt we had to take advantage of any early breaks they gave us," Dick said.
The Colts made some recent changes in the defensive line and those moves help Marian limit Lakeland to 124 yards of offense, all on the ground.
A pair of seniors Hans Kuhn and Charlie Herling www.nflcardinalsofficialshop.com/John_Brown_Jersey_Cardinals had big defensive games.
Kuhn recovered a fumble on the third play of the game, and the Colts scored seven plays later on a 14 yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Brent Andrew to sophomore receiver Scott Holloman.
Herling, who caused trouble for the Lakeland offense all day, sacked Chief quarterback Mike Selvenis midway through the fourth quarter and hurried his release on the next play, ending any mild hopes the Chiefs had of making a comeback.
"He's a senior and we started the season with him at middle linebacker before moving him to defensive end," Dick said. "We moved Hans Kuhn into the middle and that really solidified our defense."
Offensively, the Colts got 72 yards out of junior running back Chris Perhonitch and 54 yards passing from Andrew. Although the 54 yards may not look like much, the short throws, especially early in the game, kept Lakeland off balance.
"We're basically a short passing team," Dick said. "We're go for the big one occasionally, but we're basically a three step or a five step team."
Leading 14 0 at halftime, the Colts took the second half kickoff and ran off 16 plays before running out of downs at the Lakeland 18.
"Even though we didn't score, we took more than 8 minutes off the clock," said Dick, who still had some anxious moments in the quarter.
After gaining control of the ball, the Chiefs used a 34 yard run by Darrick Goodrich to move to the Marian 34. The Colts regrouped and took control of the ball on downs on the second play of the fourth quarter.

"A homeowner came out, waved the officer down and said he thought the boy was in the shed," Gonzalez said. Gonzales said the two got into a scuffle that ended when the officer firing one shot, killing the teenager. "It was obvious there was a struggle," Gonzales said. "The officer has a cut on his lip and his knee is injured. It looks like the suspect came at the police officer."

Too bad the US is a twisted barbarian one and the guy will remain to terrorize citizens for years to come. Probably even bragging to his cop buddies about this murder.

I am at a total loss for words. Star and Flag to help keep this thread alive. I often hear about how the Police need to be careful about how they approach someone not knowing if they are dangerous. they need to consider that the person being approached is probably even more terrified and as these incidents increase, so will the fear.
Peace and Love to this child's family. DH
You need to read the post where the subsequent investigation found "No powder residue" on the shirt of the youth or on the clothing of the police officer.
Originally posted by HawkeyeNation
I had a feeling the entire story was not being told in the OP's post. Nothing was mentioned of the kid resisiting arrest and threatning the police officer. It's possible the suspect was fighting for the gun. I don't know & I'm not going to assume that. Either way...the police officer should have waited for backup and this wouldn't have happened.

Winners Galore!
A Warwick woman came into the Lottery Headquarters to claim what she thought was $1,000. To her surprise, she actually won $15,000 on the "Crossword 28" Instant Game!She was overwhelmed with tears in her eyes. She didn't know how she could have missed that, and called her husband right away. The winning ticket was sold at Brady's Liquor in Warwick.
This afternoon, Darlene Godin of North Kingstown, claimed $12,750 on Keno Plus. She matched 9 out of 10 numbers winning a standard payout of $4,250. She opted to play an additional $1 for Keno Plus and the 3 multiplier was revealed."I have quite the hangover today!" she explained since she bought rounds of drinks for everyone at Gillian's Ale House in North Kingstown, where she purchased the winning ticket. Buying the bar drinks and winning the Lottery were two items on her bucket list. She plans on fixing her car and getting some handy work done around the house. But, most importantly, she wants to take a trip.
A Cranston man also claimed his $10,832 Daily Numbers ticket. He did a $2 combination of his family's birthdays. His winning numbers were 1, 4, 1, and 7 from Felipe's Convenience in Providence. He plans on putting his winnings in savings.
Furthermore, a Lincoln woman cashed in a $10,000 winning Mega Millions® ticket that she purchased from Stop & Shop on George Washington Highway in Lincoln. She matched four numbers and the Mega Ball number, for the standard payout of $10,000. She did not purchase the Megaplier® for an extra dollar on her wager, but if she had, her prize would have been multiplied by four, to equal $40,000. Tomorrow's estimated Mega Millions® jackpot is $266 million!
This website, www.RILOT.com, is the official website of
the Rhode Island Lottery. It is UNLAWFUL for anyone under the age of 18 to play the Lottery. Although every effort is made to ensure the accuracy

Migration and Remittances during the Global Financial Crisis and Beyond
During the 2008 financial crisis, the possible changes in remittance-sending behavior and potential avenues to alleviate a probable decline in remittance flows became concerns. This book brings together a wide array of studies from around the world focusing on the recent trends in remittance flows. The authors have gathered a select group of researchers from academic, practitioner and policy making bodies. Thus the book can be seen as a conversation between the different stakeholders involved in or affected by remittance flows globally. The book is a first-of-its-kind attempt to analyze the effects of an ongoing crisis on remittance flows globally.

Chapter 4 (Edited)
I slowly leaned in also before closing my eyes until the hotel room door slammed open. Ross jumped away scratching the back of his neck awkwardly, "God can a girl get some… Ross don't rape Casey." It just had to be Meghan.
"What's up?" Ross asked lowly keeping his eyes on anything but Meg and I. Anyone could tell that he was slightly embarrassed that he was caught.
"The sky blondie," She sarcastically said before turning to me, "Casey are you ok?" I gave her a look which resulted in her walking out of the room.
I sighed when the door clicked shut, and looked in Ross' direction, "You're staying another night."
I nod in agreement, and turned my attention to my phone that started buzzing again, 'Look she even has to throw herself at him so he'll like her!' There was a picture attached of us from a few seconds ago. A frown found its way to my face after reading it, and before I had the chance to exit the app Ross had my phone and was reading through the tweets.
I saw him click the screen multiple times before his phone buzzed, "Now if something ever happens, you can just text me and I'll help you out with anything. No matter how stupid it could be."
"Why are you being so nice to me?"
I wanted to cry, but the tears wouldn't come out, "I said it earlier Case. I saw a broken girl and I want to help…"
A smile found its way onto my lips as I hugged the tall blonde, "Thank you so much Ross…"
After our hug Ross changed my whole twitter account around so that I wasn't following any of the fans. My twitter name was changed to @Casey_Lynn_, my notifications were turned off, and when he finally handed my phone back it looked like a tornado had torn it up.
My profile picture was of he and I walking to the bus and my cover photo was the group photo of Meghan, Ross, Riker, Ryland, Rydel, Rocky, Ratliff, and I.
"Now to make this official..." He whispered before facing me, "will you go out with me?"
The next day school was awkward. I was wearing a pair of Rydel's washed denim shorts, pink high top converse, and a white McFly tank top. Everyone everywhere was watching my every move waiting for me to slip up, some even made remarks, but I ignored them.
Homeroom seemed to take forever to start as we waited for the bell to ring. Meg walked up and took a picture through snapchat of the two of us, "Going to your boyfriend!"
She chuckled typing something as I jumped to my feet swat at her hands trying to grab her phone out of them, "No that picture was horrible!"
Her phone buzzed shortly after, and a picture of him lying on his bed shirtless was on the screen along with, 'She's beautiful.' Then there was a heart emoji. He just called me beautiful…
I was lost in my thoughts, and next thing I knew my books were scattered on the floor of the classroom. My eyes caught Lauren sit down with a smirk on her face. 'Great the poplar's are back...' I inwardly groaned.
While at lunch I went to the bathroom to send Ross a text telling him that I couldn't text in class since he apparently didn't know. As I was leaving, Lauren walked in with Kat and Mandy behind her, "Hey slut. I see you got a new man." Lauren stated getting close to me.
"Lauren I told you I didn't want to fight," I sighed.
I saw a smirk grow on Mandy's face, "Oh so Lynch is your boyfriend?"

New details in Mexico teenager's death by Border Patrol
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On April 11, 2013 @ 3:05 pm In Border Control & Illegal Immigration,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
April 11, 2013
A new witness and new evidence seem to bolster the case that a Mexican teen shot to death by the Border Patrol in October in Nogales, Sonora, was walking down the street at the time he was killed — not, as the Border Patrol has maintained, throwing rocks over the fence at agents.
The new information also suggests that more than one agent may have opened fire on Jose Antonio Elena Rodriguez, 16. That information arrived as the family of the youth held a march on Wednesday in Nogales to protest what they called the FBI and Border Patrol's "veil of silence" about the killing.
Both the bureau and the patrol have declined to comment on the boy's death, citing an ongoing FBI investigation. They have declined to identify the agent or agents involved and have declined to release a surveillance video of the incident, shot by cameras mounted above the border fence.

This Persian stew recipe is adapted from the one that chef Homa Khakpour serves at Shiraz Kabab Cafe and Food Market. It's a terrific main course, which she pairs with chelo (steamed rice with melted butter).
Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 2 hr
YIELD: Makes 4 or 5 main-course servings
ACTIVE TIME: 30 min
TOTAL TIME: 2 hr
- 1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
- 1 lb boneless lamb shoulder or beef chuck, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- 2 whole cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 cup yellow split peas (1 1/2 oz)
- 1 large russet (baking) potato
- 2 to 2 1/2 cups vegetable oil for frying
Heat butter in a 2- to 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat until foam subsides, then cook meat, onion, salt, pepper, and spices, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Add lime juice and water and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
Add split peas and simmer, covered, until peas are falling apart and meat is tender, 40 to 45 minutes. Keep warm, partially covered.
Peel potato and cut into 1/4-inch dice. Heat 1/2 inch oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry potato in 2 batches, stirring occasionally, until crisp and golden brown, about 7 minutes. Transfer potato with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and season with salt.
Fold fried potato into stew just before serving, or serve it on top.

What's Your Favorite Movie of All Time?
- Posted by Jeff Carter
- on February 16th, 2013
When I was a senior in high school, I took a class I thought would be a blow off. Cinema. It was taught by Ralph Amelio and John Mostacci. They were English teachers that understood how stories were translated into film through the use of not only scripts, but camera angles, lighting, the way the scene is set and other production effects that cannot be used in a paper novel.
Up until that time, I had always liked movies but I didn't understand them.
We watched and discussed movies in the class. We saw a variety of movies. Citizen Kane, Harlan County USA, Amarcord, Movies by Francois Truffaut, Jean Renoir, and the Holocaust documentary, Night and Fog. Movies that you would never have seen in a theatre. Those movies affected me and certain scenes in those movies stay with me today.
It was a tough but enlightening class. When I was at Illinois I needed an English class and took an advanced cinema class. Learned some great stuff in that class too. I will never understand Ingmar Bergman…..
Here is one scene from The Grand Illusion which is sort of replicated in Casablanca
I love the emotion it stirs inside you. Whatever you think about the French, they have the best national anthem.
One thing that is tough; with all the access at home to all kinds of movies all the time, sometimes it's hard to get to the theatre to watch them. But, even with all the bells and whistles at home, nothing beats seeing a movie on a huge screen with a fantastic sound system. A great movie will envelope you in that environment.
There is a reason dictators always prized good film makers for propaganda. Hitler would not have been able to emotionally move people without Leni Riefenstahl. Stalin made films for his people too. But with the bad comes the good. Films like Schindler's List show great grace in humanity even amongst the most dire of circumstances. This is why a free and unfettered media that looks at things objectively is important. Film can be so very powerful.
Today, Hollywood has an agenda and that's one of the reasons its failing. Did you know there is a special carve out for taxes and Hollywood?
I don't know if I have a favorite movie of all time, but I can list a top fifteen in no particular order. There are others that I'd watch, but these really are interesting for a variety of reasons.
1. Pulp Fiction
2. Casablanca
3. Night and Fog
4. Saving Private Ryan
5. Ruthless People
6. Rear Window
7. Hoop Dreams
8. Caddyshack
9. Star Wars
10. The Godfather 1+2 (Except number 3)
11. Monty Python and The Holy Grail
12. It's a Wonderful Life
13. Taxi Driver
14. A Clockwork Orange
15. Chinatown
My wife and I were remarking the other night that no one makes a good suspense film anymore. The Sixth Sense was the last good one I saw. Inception was decent. They must be terribly hard to write.
I have a lot of others that I like too.
What are your top movies?

Rated 3 out of 5 by cindiray Rubber stoppers are not tight, tip bottle over and they fall out. What good is an oil or vinegar bottle, which you invert to pour, if the stoppers are loose? They are both weak, but one will actually fall out while pouring. I do not have the money to return them so I will be lining them with rubber bands. Real classy, right? Save your money. They are cheap because they are cheaply made. June 27, 2014

Exit Ghost continues the story of Roth's alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman, now back in New York and struggling with issues of old age, love, and illness. Roth once again gives us a character rendering that is tender, tough, and ultimately gratifying.
Exit Ghost continues the story of Roth's alter ego, Nathan Zuckerman, now back in New York and struggling with issues of old age, love, and illness. Roth once again gives us a character rendering that is tender, tough, and ultimately gratifying.
"As with Exit Ghost's immediate predecessor, Everyman, one gets an ever-stronger impression that Roth has degraded the Eros-Thanatos dialectic of some of his earlier work and is now using his fiction, first to kill off certain characters and to shoot the wounded, and second to give himself something to masturbate about....Exit Ghost is billed as the last of the Zuckerman adventures, but it's as if Roth stops writing the book rather than finishes it." Christopher Hitchens, The Atlantic Monthly (read the entire Atlantic Monthly review)
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Like Rip Van Winkle returning to his hometown to find that all has changed, Nathan Zuckerman comes back to New York, the city he left eleven years before. Alone on his New England mountain, Zuckerman has been nothing but a writer: no voices, no media, no terrorist threats, no women, no news, no tasks other than his work and the enduring of old age.
Walking the streets like a revenant, he quickly makes three connections that explode his carefully protected solitude. One is with a young couple with whom, in a rash moment, he offers to swap homes. They will flee post-9/11 Manhattan for his country refuge, and he will return to city life. But from the time he meets them, Zuckerman also wants to swap his solitude for the erotic challenge of the young woman, Jamie, whose allure draws him back to all that he thought he had left behind: intimacy, the vibrant play of heart and body.
The second connection is with a figure from Zuckerman's youth, Amy Bellette, companion and muse to Zuckerman's first literary hero, E. I. Lonoff. The once irresistible Amy is now an old woman depleted by illness, guarding the memory of that grandly austere American writer who showed Nathan the solitary path to a writing vocation.
The third connection is with Lonoff's would-be biographer, a young literary hound who will do and say nearly anything to get to Lonoff's "great secret." Suddenly involved, as he never wanted or intended to be involved again, with love, mourning, desire, and animosity, Zuckerman plays out an interior drama of vivid and poignant possibilities.
Haunted by Roth's earlier work The Ghost Writer, Exit Ghost is an amazing leap into yet another phase in this great writer's insatiable commitment to fiction.
"Philip Roth's 28th book is, it seems, the final novel in the Zuckerman series, which began in 1979 with The Ghostwriter. A 71-year-old Nathan Zuckerman returns to New York after more than a decade in rural New England, ostensibly to see a doctor about a prostate condition that has left him incontinent and probably impotent. But Zuckerman being Zuckerman and Roth being Roth, the plot is much more complicated than it at first appears. Within a few days of arriving in New York, Zuckerman accidentally encounters Amy Bellette, the woman who was once the muse/wife of his beloved idol, writer S.I. Lonoff; he also meets a young novelist and promptly begins fantasizing about the writer's young and beautiful wife. There's also a subplot about a would-be Lonoff biographer, who enrages Zuckerman with his brashness and ambition, two qualities a faithful Roth reader can't help ascribing to the young, sycophantic Zuckerman himself. As usual, Roth's voice is wise and full of rueful wit, but the plot is contrived (the accidental meeting with Amy, for example, is particularly unbelievable) and the tone hovers dangerously close to pathetic. In the Rothian pantheon, this one lives closer to The Dying Animal than Everyman. Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"The prose is as assured and inviting as ever, but Philip Roth's latest — and perhaps last — novel about his alter ego, the writer Nathan Zuckerman, is in many ways a magnificent shambles, like old age itself. 'Exit Ghost' mixes reflections on physical decline, illness and the persistence of desire with an angry sadness over the 2004 presidential election, bitter opinions about biography, and praise... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review) for the patrician grace of George Plimpton, the late editor of the Paris Review. Large chunks of the book are cast as a minimalist play — starring 'He' and 'She' — in which Zuckerman fantasizes conversations with a young woman to whom he is attracted. As in the earlier accounts of Zuckerman's career (in particular 'The Ghost Writer,' 'Zuckerman Unbound,' 'The Anatomy Lesson' and 'The Prague Orgy,' which are now gathered together in a recent Library of America volume), 'Exit Ghost' both encourages and undercuts the instinct to identify the life of the now reclusive Nathan Zuckerman with that of the now reclusive Philip Roth. The opening chapter, 'The Present Moment,' is the most moving. Zuckerman is 71 and for the past 11 years has been living alone in the Berkshires, where he writes, rereads favorite books, listens to music and occasionally watches baseball on television. Life is manageable, and he gets on with his work. But ever since an operation for prostate cancer some nine years previously, Zuckerman has been not only impotent but also incontinent: He wears cotton pads in his plastic underwear to absorb his seeping urine. As he says, without self-pity, 'What you do not have, you live without — you're seventy-one, and that's the deal.' And it's a better deal than many have. 'The habit of solitude, of solitude without anguish, had taken hold of me, and with it the pleasures of being unanswerable and being free — paradoxically, free above all of oneself. For days on end of only work, I would feel sweetened by luxurious contentment. Loneliness, raving loneliness, was sporadic and amenable to strategy. ... All in all, being without any need to play a role was preferable to the friction and agitation and conflict and pointlessness and disgust that, as a person ages, can render less than desirable the manifold relations that make for a rich, full life.' Though nothing can be done about Zuckerman's loss of virility, a new operation unexpectedly offers the possibility of greater bladder control, so the old writer travels back to New York City. He daydreams of rejuvenation, of simply being able to swim in a public pool: 'To possess control over one's bladder — who among the whole and healthy ever considers the freedom that bestows or the anxious vulnerability its loss can impose on even the most confident among us? I who'd never thought along these lines before, who from the age of twelve was bent on singularity and welcomed whatever was unusual in me — I could now be like everyone else.' After leaving his doctor's office with this new hope, Zuckerman unexpectedly hears a familiar voice in the lobby, a voice from his distant past. It belongs to an old woman, wearing a dress made out of a hospital gown, with half her hair shaved off from surgery (for brain cancer, we later learn). Nearly 50 years ago, Amy Bellette was the student and then the mistress of Zuckerman's literary idol, the short story writer E.I. Lonoff. Back then, the 23-year-old Zuckerman convinced himself that this beautiful European refugee might just be the grown-up Anne Frank. From this point on, 'Exit Ghost' starts to work variations on themes suggested by 'The Ghost Writer,' the very first Zuckerman novel. Zuckerman, now himself the elderly literary eminence, meets a 30-year-old short story writer, the sexy Jamie Logan, about whom he begins to daydream and write. Then he clashes with a vulgarly ambitious young man named Richard Kliman — much like his own younger self — who wants to make his literary reputation with a tell-all biography of E.I. Lonoff. Finally, Zuckerman spends an evening with Amy Bellette, learning about her family, the four years she spent with Lonoff and her life since his death. These encounters prove surprisingly exhilarating to the old writer. At times Zuckerman feels that he's back in the fray, back in the thick of the world. But then, he suddenly deflates: 'An aging man, his battles behind him, who suddenly feels the urge ... to what? Once around with the passions wasn't enough? Once around with the unknowable wasn't enough? Into the mutability again?' And what of the mounting evidence of mental, as well as physical, decline? If he doesn't list names and dates and activities in his daily calendar, he is likely to forget them entirely. Even worse, he is growing convinced that he's losing his command of language and the ability to create. Try as he might, his last novel simply wouldn't come out as he wanted it: 'I discovered that I had to labor every day against the threat of incoherence. When I had finished — when, after four drafts, that is, I could go no further — I couldn't tell whether it was reading of the completed manuscript that was itself marred by a disordered mind or whether my reading was accurate and the disordered mind was what was itself mirrored in the writing.' As much as he loathes Kliman for wanting to reduce the artistry of E.I. Lonoff to a 'dark secret' from his past — a secret reminiscent of one attributed to the novelist Henry Roth — Zuckerman yearns just as mightily for Jamie Logan, but to what end? He is impotent, out of touch with the times, old. His heart almost breaks with longing: 'Why did I have to get cancer of the prostate?...Why must strength's abatement be so quick and cruel? Oh, to wish what is into what is not, other than on the page!' As a portrait of the artist as an old man, 'Exit Ghost' delivers pages of great, sad power. But as a work of art it feels unfocused, never quite drawing together its various threads but, in the end, simply relinquishing them. At times I wondered if Roth was practicing what has sometimes been called the fallacy of imitative form — in this case, writing a slightly incoherent book to reflect the incoherence of his aging hero's mind. At other times, I concluded that his lack of a strong plot, the weak fantasy playlet of 'He and She,' the attack on the modern tendency to reduce art to a complex or an ism, and the many pages, albeit excellent in themselves, about George Plimpton were all typical of 'late style,' that wild freedom characteristic of great artists in old age when they blithely ignore the expected conventions and disdain the polish of ordinary form and beauty. Toward the end of life, mere 'art' seems to get in the way of truth. Yet, Zuckerman argues, the truth about a writer lies in his art, not his biography. Nonetheless, ours is an age of titillation, of Internet gossip, of journalists and critics and readers who latch on to the human failings and antics of an author while half-ignoring or dismissing the actual work in all its shaped and ruminative glory. As Zuckerman writes bitterly: 'The man in control of the words, the man making up the stories all his life, winds up, after death, remembered, if at all, for a story made up about him, his covert brand of baseness discovered and described with uncompromising candor, clarity, self-certainty, with grave concern for the most delicate issues of morality, and with no small measure of delight.' This being Philip Roth, 'Exit Ghost' manages some occasional laughter in the dark ('a spotlessly virtuous person, dresses in burlap and reads only Thoreau'); and, again, this being Philip Roth, the novel is sometimes brutally sexual (the description of Jamie's past, whether imagined or actual). Above all, though, the book shows us a man trying to work with the cards that fate has dealt him — and to accommodate himself to the diminution of his mental and physical powers. In this struggle, any of us can see our own destinies, whether we are 'no-longers' or 'not-yets.' As Leon Trotsky, no less, said with simple truth: 'Old age is the most unexpected of all the things that happen to a man.' Michael Dirda's e-mail address is mdirda(at symbol)gmail.com."

(hide most of this review)
"[A]gonizingly real yet gorgeously rendered....This novel of renewal inevitably becomes a tale of acceptance of one's irreversible descent to oblivion." Booklist (Starred Review)
"While not one of Roth's strongest works, this novel has all the elements: unreliable narrators, authorial games, meditations on the use and abuse of literature, and a firm grounding in the reality of post-9/11 New York. Recommended." Library Journal
"Exit Ghost is among other things a poison pen letter to New York City, to the editors, journalists and commentators who make it hum....I do not know where I would be without Zuckerman. I often disagree with him. I ache for his failings, but in the end I love him, even if he does not love me." Chicago Tribune
"As the umpteenth recycling of Roth's obsessions, Exit Ghost will doubtless draw Roth admirers to explore and celebrate it....Less enamored readers may conclude that to the extent Roth possesses an imagination, it's an insufferable one." Philadelphia Inquirer
Nathan Zuckerman, the indomitable literary adventurer of Roth's nine Zuckerman books, finds himself involved — as he never wanted or intended to be — with love, mourning, desire, and animosity.

The prAna Revolution yoga mat will be televised, with John Friend. Eco, sticky, wide.
The other day, I posted my second article in a series on "This is what Effective Advertising Looks Like." In it, I talked about how prAna, the eco-minded yoga/climbing apparel and gear company, was doing a great job in connecting with its demographic…that is, its people. As their tagline goes, it helps if your products are "born from the experience."
Here's a followup via Youtube, on their "Revolution," a new eco yoga mat that's super-sticky (according to no less an authority than Mr. John Friend, founder of Anusara yoga). Beyond giving Manduka's eKo yoga mat a vinyasa for your green dollars, this nice n'wide mat is presented to the world not via a conventional print or even flash web ad, but a video.
Better yet, this video is less a commercial that a work of art. It's—imagine—actually fun and inspiring to watch. It touches on the practicality and magic of asana practice. It evokes the opening and closing credits of, say, O Brother Where Art Thou while simultaneously being hip, modern, fun, detailed. And best of all they're walking their talk, offering a green mat in lieu of the PVC toxic landfill-clogging alternatives most of us still practice on.
I'm in love. If, after watching, you are too—and you find yourself in the Boulder area—then be sure to stop by our Spring Ecofashion show, featuring prAna among others, at our next talk show—John Friend just confirmed he'll be there.

Chicken Nuggets
- 2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, or 1/3 loaf or 1/3 pound firm white bread
- 1 teaspoon dried herbs, such as thyme, tarragon, rosemary, and/or marjoram (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup vinaigrette, or 2 tablespoons prepared pesto or black olive paste
- 2 to 3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
If you don't have bread crumbs on hand (premade, frozen, then thawed), make them by whirring the fresh bread in the food processor. Season with the herbs, if using, and salt and pepper to taste.
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board, and, with your fingers, pull out the little fillet (the tenderloin) on the underside of each breast. Cut the chicken into strips about 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide.
Drizzle the vinaigrette over the chicken pieces on the cutting board and rub it into the chicken with your hands to make the crumbs stick to the chicken. Sprinkle the seasoned bread crumbs over the pieces and toss to coat. The coating won't be evenly distributed but it really doesn't matter.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the strips and saut�, without moving them, until the crumbs look golden, about 1 minute. With tongs, turn the pieces over and saut� the second side until golden, about 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and continue to saut�, turning the pieces frequently, until the chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes longer.

Florida inmates wage a food fight
By FOX 13 . CREATED Mar 17, 2014
TAMPA (FOX 13) - Gone are the days when prisoners were given just bread and water behind bars. These days, inmates are served a variety of foods, but some are requesting a special diet to accommodate their religious beliefs.
"It's a very frustrating issue," said Senator Rob Bradley, who chairs the Appropriations Sub-Committee on Criminal and Civil Justice, which oversees the budget for the Department of Corrections.
Florida is now under federal court order to offer kosher meals to Jewish inmates -- which Bradley says will really add up.
"It's a little over $2 a meal for a regular prison meal and $7 for a kosher meal," said Bradley.
The Orange Park Republican says that can add up to more than $40 million a year, according to estimates provided by the DOC to Bradley.
"I am stunned by the numbers that it cost that much because that's taxpayer dollars that could be spent educating our kids, paying our teachers more, improving our roads and better medical care for Floridians," said Bradley.
Supporters of the recent court action say there really was no choice.
"Religious rights don't stop at the prison gate," said Chaplin Gary Friedman, who is chairman of Jewish Prisoner Services International.
Friedman says his home state of Washington has been offering kosher meals for years and that's the case in dozens of states.
"This has been going on with Florida now for at least 12 years that I've been involved with. It's been back and forth and back and forth so this is long, long overdue."
The recent court order was praised the Council on American-Islamic Relations as a step in the right direction.
"We feel that they should offer the same accommodations to Muslim inmates and all inmates regardless of their religious beliefs," said Hassan Shibly, executive director of CAIR's Tampa office.
Shibly is pushing for halal foods, which he says cost much less than kosher meals.
"For Muslim prisoners, the kind of meal they can eat is basically food which has been slaughtered properly with the name of god by a practicing Jew, Muslim or Christian, and that doesn't include any pork in it."
The final outcome has yet to be resolved. Lawyers for Florida's Department of Corrections plan to argue the merits of religious meals in court this summer. A trial is scheduled for August.

STATESVILLE, N.C., Aug. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Kewaunee Scientific Corporation (Nasdaq: KEQU) today announced results for its first quarter ended July 31, 2007 and the declaration of its quarterly dividend.
Net earnings for the quarter were $674,000, or $0.27 per diluted share, as compared to net earnings of $133,000, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the first quarter of the prior year. Earnings continued to benefit from improved profit margins, increased manufacturing efficiencies, savings from alternate sources for raw materials and components, and other cost improvement initiatives.
Sales for the quarter were $20,784,000, an increase of 7.7% from sales of $19,294,000 in the prior year. Sales from domestic operations were $18,014,000, an increase of 8.0% from the prior year period. The domestic marketplace for laboratory products continued to be healthy during the quarter, particularly in the educational research market and for the larger laboratory projects. The marketplace for small and mid-size laboratory projects showed signs of improvement during the quarter, although it remains very price competitive. Sales from international operations were $2,770,000, an increase of 5.7% from the prior year period.
Incoming orders remained strong during the quarter. The order backlog increased to a record $54.7 million at July 31, 2007, up from $51.1 million at April 30, 2007, and $36.5 million at July 31, 2006.

There was good news and there was bad news at the Gadsden Community Hospital Board of Directors meeting last Monday night.
The good news is that construction and renovations at the hospital are going well. Clyde Collins, inspector for the county, stopped short of saying that progress on the physical structure is ahead of schedule.
"We're installing ceilings, the generator is due by Friday, the sheetrock has been done, we're finishing the painting and the roofer should be ready to get start finishing by Monday," Collins said.
Gadsden County commissioners bought a little time for the cash-strapped Urgent Care Center during a special meeting Monday night.
Commissioners Doug Croley and Gene Morgan wanted to close the facility for a week, while Corey Fleming, center administrator, meets with the Gadsden County Health Department to determine the best option.
"We may have to close it. There is no other choice," said commission Chairman Eugene Lamb last week.
Commissioners determined Monday night to keep it open until April 7 to allow for discussion.
"I have been working at the Urgent Care since it opened. More than 95 percent of the patients go home happy. Every 3 or 4 days we have to send a patient to Tallahassee. If you can't keep the Urgent Care open, how are you going to keep a hospital open?" asked an emotional Chookiert Emko, M.D.
Before Emko returned to his seat, Commissioner Doug Croley asked him if he had any ideas for getting paying patients to use the facility.
"At this point we can cut to 5 or 6 hours a day and do whatever it takes to keep it open," he said.
Waiting out the storms this weekend, I decided to start a planter of flowers for my office window.
One thing about seeing something grow is you'll have to work all the aspects together to produce the blooms. The soil requires preparation and handling, and the plants need tending.
How similar these basics are to the organizations that tend to growth in Gadsden County.
Our chamber and its members tirelessly work the soil of Gadsden County and tends to all aspects of growth, in order to see us bloom.
Quincy Police Chief Ferman Richardson is warning citizens that they should not let their guard down when it comes to check scams.
"People are still trying to cash those checks that are coming in the mail. I want to make sure our citizens are aware that if they have not played the lottery, they are not winning a lottery and that it is unlikely that someone in a foreign country has left them a lot of money. If they have any doubt, we want them to bring the check to the police station and, whatever they do, don't deposit it in the bank," Richardson said.
• Tauvus Black: VOP/Possession of cocaine
• Martha Grace Register: Theft by taking
• Jerame Gunter Durden: Possesion of a concealed firearm, possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a controlled substance without a prescription
• Timothy Hutchinson: Burglary of a dwelling
• Markeith Watson: Felony/battery/VOP
After three weeks of nearly ideal fishing weather, the past week was just the reverse. March "came in like a lion and went out like a lamb" with high winds and heavy rains (much needed I might add). The fishing on Lake Talquin came to a halt. There was not one single person I talked to who was brave enough to even try to fish after Tuesday of this past week.
Small town entertainment takes various forms from square dancing to community theater to car shows. Saturday night at Quincy's livestock pavilion, the entertainment was confined to a boxing ring.
About 200 area spectators braved wind and rain to attend the Best of the Best IV, which was sponsored by USA Boxing, the Quincy Fighting Tigers Gym and Gadsden County Tourist Development.
"As soon as there is a little sign of warmth, people start getting antsy. They want to work in the yard and they are ready to plant," said Alex Bolques, a horticulturist with Gadsden County Cooperative Extension Service.
He said there are different categories property owners should consider when deciding how to plant. First, there is the public landscape that people see when they pass a home or that which is readily seen by public traffic.
Every 1.3 minutes, it is estimated that a woman in the United States is raped, and one out of every four women will become a victim of sexual assault during her lifetime.
"It's these very statistics that we have to get out into the open," said Debra Lloyd, local coordinator for Refuge House, a counseling service and shelter for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault.

<small> format tag does not work
I rely on the <small> tag extensively to format text in tasks. As of today, instead of tasks displaying text in small format, the format code '<small>' appears and the text is displayed full size. I use Win XP and Chrome. Please advise.
All responses
Hello Steven,
We've never officially supported this and other tags in Todoist, but it's possible that they were parsed in the past.
The formatting Todoist supports is:
!! bold text !!
Italic text
Please use only these two options as we can't guarantee if any other tag will work correctly (there are security issues if HTML tags would be fully supported).
Best regards,
I use small text extensively in Todoist tasks. Is there no longer any way to reduce text size? Many formatting tags were supported in the past (small, superscript, etc.), along with other options such as highlighting using '%(hl)This text is highlighted%' format, which still displays properly in my tasks. Is highlighting also being phased out, leaving only bold/italic text format options?
We've introduced the new bold and italic formatting options last year and left the other solutions active for a while for the transition. They will no longer be supported.
We may consider adding more different formatting options in the future, though but without HTML tags. You're welcome to vote for it in our Votebox: http://todoist.com/Vote/showProposal/440/
Best regards,
I am using juste the character ">" in the task field sometimes, and it is displayed ">" on Chromium-browser. (But I do not use this character to make HTML tags).
On the iPhone app, it is displayed ">".
Hello Quentin,
Thank you for your report, it seems that this is indeed a bug. I've notified the developers about it and we'll try to fix it as soon as we can.
Best regards,
This issue is now fixed.
Best regards,
Perfect, thanks !!

Many scientific experiments are carried out in collaboration with researchers around the world to use existing infrastructures and conduct experiments at massive scale. Data produced by such experiments are thus replicated and cached at multiple geographic locations. This gives rise to new challenges when selecting distributed data and compute resources so that the execution of applications is time- and cost-efficient. Existing heuristic techniques select 'Best' data source for retrieving data to a compute resource and subsequently process task-resource assignment.

DescriptionWe are prepared to try to construct a perimeter around the village using the energy source taken from the blood elves. I can't guarantee that it will work, but we have to attempt it.
Otherwise, the mana creatures will surely continue devouring the spirits of the fallen Kirin Tor.
Use this device at the small runes around the perimeter of town to release the energy there. If I've woven the field correctly, we should start noticing a difference once you've used the device at each point.
Have you activated all the runes? I'm eager to see if we can't improve upon the blood elf method here. Anything one of Kael'thas's men can do, real Kirin Tor can do better.
Excellent work. Keep your fingers crossed, <name>. I'm going to activate the shield.
RewardsYou will be able to choose one of these rewards:

We've known for a while now that Carine Roitfeld has a thing for Victoria's Secret models, but this seals the deal. The former Vogue Paris editor put together a personally curated calendar of V.S.-approved pinup girls for the 25th issue of V Man, which she also guest-edited. Sports Illustrated, watch out.
In an interview with the magazine's Derek Blasberg, Roitfeld said that Victoria's Secret is the first place she goes when she's looking for "beautiful girls."
DB So, how did you put your version of modern sexy together for VMAN?
CR To realize my issue, I imagined organizing the perfect dinner party. I started with the photographers, invitingsome old friends like Bruce Weber and Peter Lindbergh, who I've known for years, and [Jean-Baptiste] Monidino, who I have always admired but haven't worked with in twenty years. And then I asked some new people too, like Nick Knight. It was my big dream to do something with Nick because we had never worked together before. Michael Avedon is a new talent too. I was happy to find him: He is the grandson of Richard Avedon, who we all know, but he has an interesting eye that is his own.
DB And then you filled the rest of the seats with the talent?
CR Yes, exactly. I didn't want male models. I wanted handsome actors, well known singers, real men from Manhattan, and a few strangers that maybe a reader would not recognize but would want to know more about. And, of course, you need beautiful girls, so I would invite some of Victoria's Secret's girls. This is a very interesting dinner, no?
Can we get an invite? Check out a few of our favorite months as shot by Willy Vanderperre below, and more from the issue over at VMAN.com.

|Deck 9, Aft
|Designed For:
|Hours of Operation:
|Varies; Please check the Personal Navigator while onboard for specific times
AquaLab, one of three pool areas on the Disney Magic, is a water experiment-themed, children's play-area located on Deck 9, Aft. Home to a freshwater pool plus a plethora of pop jets, geysers and bubblers, this 1,800-square-foot aqua playground is designed to delight young Guests and their families while out at sea or in port.
The Story of AquaLab
AquaLab was created by Donald Duck's crafty nephews—Huey, Dewey and Louie—and features a variety of water "experiments" created to drench the entire family. Children entering AquaLab will see that the nephews are away for the time being, leaving young cruise Guests to conduct their very own water experiments.
Interactive Experiences
AquaLab features hands-on fun at every turn, including:
- Rotating wheels and levers at wacky, themed water stations
- Geysers and pop jets
In addition, shaded deck chairs are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Games and activities are hosted by Crew Members in the AquaLab pool area at various times daily. Check the Personal Navigator once onboard for the most accurate activities schedule.
Twist 'n' Spout
For children who want to experience a little excitement while cooling down, AquaLab offers an exciting double-looping waterslide. Guests using the slide must be a minimum height of 38 inches.
Nephews' Splash Zone
An entertaining, splash-a-second play area dedicated to infants and toddlers 3 years of age and under, Nephews' Splash Zone features pop jets, squirting figures of Donald Duck's nephews and plenty of high-seas hijinks designed especially for little ones.
Dining Delights
For those looking for a quick bite, the AquaLab pool area includes Pete's Boiler Bites and Daisy's De-Lites, 2 quick-service restaurants that serve a variety of snacks and sandwiches, plus Pinocchio's Pizzeria and the beverage station nearby. Please note that food and beverages are not allowed in the pools or whirlpool spas.
Policies About Swim Accessories and Equipment
Please be aware of the following policies about pool toys and swim accessories:
- Swim goggles that fit only over the eyes are permitted at all pools, hot tubs and water slides, with the exception of AquaDunk aboard the Disney Magic, where goggles are not allowed.
- Swim masks that cover the eyes and nose are permitted at all pools. They are not allowed on any slides, including AquaDuck.
- Snorkel tubes are not permitted at any pools, hot tubs or water slides.
- Coast Guard personal flotation devices (PFDs), water wings and flotation sewn into bathing suits can be brought onboard and are permitted in Mickey's Pool.
- Floats, rafts and fun noodles cannot be brought onboard and are not permitted in the pools.
Policies About Swim Diapers
The United States Public Health Service requires that only children who are toilet trained are permitted to enter swimming pools and spas aboard cruise ships.
Children who are not toilet trained are welcome to enjoy Nemo's Reef and Mickey's Splash Zone, where they must wear swim diapers. Please note, swim diapers are not permitted in the pools, hot tubs or spas, the AquaDuck and the AquaLab.
