A book review of "I Lost It At the Video Store" by Tom Roston
She leads a grim existence as a factory worker. Her husband has been hit by a motorcycle and is laid off with a broken leg. Her brother-in-law spies on her and her mother-inlaw spits on her. She's been diagnosed as a tuberculosis victim and sent to a sanitorium in the mountains, courtesy of the National Health Service. And now she has met a young man who is desperately in love with her, and she finds she loves him too. "We must try to keep our heads," she tells him, clinging to him. And then after a pause: "But WHY must we try to keep our heads?"
That's the question asked and never answered in Vittorio De Sica's last film, "A Brief Vacation." De Sica, who died earlier this year, was one of the great directors of the postwar Italian neorealist movement, which represented a large, loud break with Hollywood tradition and dealt with life as it might exist outside sound stages.
In movies like "Shoeshine" and "Bicycle Thief" he told the stories of poor people trying to survive in a system geared up to manhandle them. His films grew slicker and more commercial by the 1960s, but he never lost his gift or his heart, and there were masterpieces like "The Garden of the Finzi-Continis" (1972) and now this final return to a working-class subject.
It's not a movie, though, that offers solutions to the problems it sees; de Sica's communism was outworn long ago. It's a love story, a very brief and poignant one, surrounded by a lot of anger. And it's a "woman's picture" of the new sort, the kind in which women make up their own minds and make their own mistakes. His heroine, Clara (a luminous performance by Florinda Bolkan), is harassed and bone-tired and driven to shouting things like "I'd do better as a whore" while she faces the bathroom mirror at dawn. But she has resources she never dreamed she owned.
De Sica quotes Appollinaire: "Sickness is the vacation of the poor." That's the case here, and as the doctor tells Clara of the spot on her lung and prescribes a month or two in the mountains, the faces of her family shrink into meanness and envy. There is the thought, never quite spoken aloud, that her duty as a wife and mother is to stay in Milan and die. But she packs and goes. "Not for myself, she tells her husband in the middle of the night, "but to protect the children."
We realize within the first half hour that Clara is an intelligent woman living a life that makes few demands on intelligence. On the train she meets others going to the sanitorium, and they're all better off than she -- a rich man's mistress, a "performer" -- but almost from the moment they meet her they identify with her strength. She has coped with conditions of life the rest of them can hardly imagine, and they have left her shy in this new company, but her friends respond to her resiliency and her character.
The sanitorium is like a holiday. People like her and the food is good. When she meets the young man, it is for the second time; on the day she collapsed at work she met him at the clinic. They went next door for a coffee and discussed their jobs. His was a good one at Olivetti, but he had to bend over all the time. She was seen in the cafe and her husband was informed. When she returned home, tired and sick, he slapped her. "Our love began with my husband's slap," she tells the young man.
Their affair lasts only a moment. On Wednesdays the patients are allowed to go into town. They have talked once or twice, and now they come into each other's arms and make love urgently and immediately. Then they talk and dance and he asks her to run away with him to Germany. To get a divorce. "The poor cannot afford a divorce," she says. "And what of my children? Shall I throw them out?"
The love affair, her brief vacation, causes big changes in her ideas about herself. The other women tell her she's really pretty, that she should do something about her nails and learn to walk differently. She was always beautiful and now she allows herself to seem so. And her mind wakes up. A few paperbacks had been left behind by a former patient and she reads them. "Who's reading this?" her husband asks during a visit. He is the kind of man who puts on his jacket as if he were lifting weights. "I am," she says. "You learned to read?" "I remembered. It was slow at first but now it goes all right."
This is a woman who tells her husband it will take the police to get her back to Milan, but at the movie's end we're not told what she will finally do. We have a notion. though. and we've met a tough, beautiful person. For the screenplay of "A Brief Vacation," de Sica returned to his old collaborator Cesare Zavattini, the man who wrote "Bicycle Thief" and "Shoeshine." It's as if, at 73, he wanted to touch base again in case this was going to be his last film.

I'm writing this in the airport, on my way home from a weekend in Austin, Texas for the 50th anniversary convention of American Atheists. New York is all bare gray branches, still; it's too early in the season even for buds. By comparison, Austin was a startling riot of green, with tree-lined streets and forested riverbanks that bloomed explosively in the perfect, gorgeous warm weather. The branches were thronged with big, sleek black birds (grackles, according to a thread on B&W) that kept up a … [Read more...]

Scattered Thoughts from the #ForwardOnClimate Rally
I just got back from Washington, D.C., where I was taking part in the Sierra Club's Forward On Climate rally against the Keystone XL pipeline, which is intended to carry crude oil from Canadian tar sands to American refineries. I'm still a bit washed out and don't have anything profound to say, but here are some scattered impressions:• It was cold in Washington, D.C. all weekend, with bitter, frigid winds lashing the National Mall, which made the immense turnout all the more surprising. … [Read more...]
Photo Sunday: Edinburgh
On the second half of my U.K. trip, we spent a few days in the lovely city of Edinburgh, the capitol of Scotland. My wife Elizabeth has written a thorough review of the best part of our stay: the pubs! Here are some other highlights:On our first day, we went out for a walk in what turned out to be one of the biggest rainstorms the city had seen in a while. It rained so hard my umbrella soaked through, and we got lost wandering around the downtown and ended up taking shelter in a … [Read more...]

We walked through Whitehall Gardens in the center of the city near the Thames......and then went for a ride on the London Eye.Looking north along the Thames as we … [Read more...]
SSA 2012 Conference Wrap-Up, Day 3
Read Part 2 here.To finish off Saturday night, atheist comedian Keith Lowell Jenson and journalist Ted Cox gave a demonstration of "ex-gay" conversion therapy. The quack idea undergirding this is that men are gay because they were deprived of love by their fathers, and experiencing real manly affection will cure them of their confused and unnatural lust. Here, Hemant Mehta (who was an extremely good sport about the whole thing) demonstrates how this works with the help of … [Read more...]
SSA 2012 Conference Wrap-Up, Day 2
Read Part 1 here. On Saturday, the SSA conference was in full swing, with three simultaneous tracks of talks going on throughout the OSU student union. As Murphy's Law predicts, the ones I wanted to see the most were inevitably scheduled at the same time as each other. But I still got to see some outstanding speakers, with topics running the gamut from the nuts and bolts of campus organizing to high-level political strategizing to important lessons on community and social justice. Here are some … [Read more...]
SSA 2012 Conference Wrap-Up, Day 1
We've survived fire and flood! The Reason Rally in March was a day of gusty cold and battering rain. This July 4 weekend we went to the opposite extreme, as secular students and atheist movers and shakers from all over the country converged on Columbus, Ohio for the 2012 Secular Student Alliance Leadership Conference. And the summer was merciless, as Columbus broiled under 100-degree temperatures all weekend. (There had been a violent storm across the Midwest the previous week, and some areas … [Read more...]
Photo Sunday: A Houdini Pilgrimage
At the Reason Rally in Washington, D.C. last month, my friend Greta Christina told me something that I, a lifelong New Yorker, never knew: Harry Houdini is buried in a cemetery in New York City. Houdini, of course, made his fame in the early 20th century as a magician who could escape from handcuffs, straitjackets, and all manner of bizarre contraptions. But atheists should know him best as a dedicated debunker of mediums who claimed the ability to channel the dead. For Houdini, this was a … [Read more...]
Reason Rally Wrap-Up, Part 3
Read Part 2 here. I've talked about the weather, the crowds, the protesters and the speakers, and I wanted to end up with some overall impressions. One of the things about the Reason Rally that made me happiest was how young and diverse the crowd was. I've been to atheist conventions that were overwhelmingly populated by old white guys, and this was a big step forward. A major part of this, I'm sure, was the enormous student involvement, and it's that more than anything else that makes me … [Read more...]
Reason Rally Wrap-Up, Part 2
Read Part 1 here. Before I deliver my recap of the speakers at the Reason Rally, I need to give a shout-out to the people who accompanied me for the weekend. On my first day in town, I met up with Rieux, who was a fearless scourge of trolls in Daylight Atheism's early days on Big Think, and who first enlightened me to the prejudice against atheists within Unitarian Universalism that I'm still sorting out. I also met Leah Libresco - transhumanist, virtue ethicist, Bayesian conspirator, and the … [Read more...]

Britt Hayes is a writer, movie lover, and sensible sweater enthusiast living in Austin, Texas. She watches too much TV and never eats her vegetables. Her mom is worried about her.
Snickers has really outdone themselves in the WTF department with their ad for this Sunday's Super Bowl. In their latest commercial featuring the "you're not yourself when you're hungry" concept, Danny Trejo takes on the role of Marcia Brady, while Steve Buscemi plays the role of Jan, which is rather timely, given the currently popular 'Brady Bunch' meme that's been taking over Tumblr.
Ever since Marvel formally announced the casting of Benedict Cumberbatch as Sorcerer Supreme in their upcoming 'Doctor Strange' film, we haven't heard much else about the project. Set to be directed by Scott Derrickson, the film is currently scheduled for a 2016 release date, so it's about time that we started hearing a little more about who else will be joining Cumberbatch as the project heads closer to production—like Chiwetel Ejiofor, who is reportedly in talks for a role.
The first 'Star Wars' standalone film is set to hit theaters in 2016, and although it's currently seeking a replacement screenwriter, it looks as though production is gearing up on the Gareth Edwards project. Both Rooney Mara and 'Orphan Black' star Tatiana Maslany are testing for a leading role in the untitled film, which has been rumored as a heist film involving Boba Fett.
It looks like 'Suicide Squad' is still searching for its Rick Flagg. Following Tom Hardy's departure from Warner Bros. upcoming DC super villain project, Jake Gyllenhaal was being eyed to take over. But the actor has basically said "Nah, bro, I'm good" and passed on the film as well. With David Ayer's film hitting the big screen in 2016, WB still has a little time to cast the central role.
Let's be honest here: you probably spend more time browsing your options on Netflix Instant than you do actually watching anything. And now to add to your ongoing decision-making dilemma, Netflix's chief content officer Ted Sarandos has announced that the service plans to start launching 20 (twenty!) new original series a year. Now you'll never run out of options for weekend binge-watching.
The post-credits scene for 'Guardians of the Galaxy' featured a rather unexpected comic book character, which inspired fan speculation over whether or not this particular character would make another appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While we won't see him on the big screen again anytime soon, he is getting his very own comic book sequel to help explain how he ended up in 'Guardians of the Galaxy.'
There are plenty of great titles added to Netflix Instant each month, but there are also several movies and television shows that leave the service, too. Now's the time to stop procrastinating! While Netflix recently announced that they're renewing their streaming deal with the BBC, there are still a few British titles that will be hitting the road. Read on for our guide to the titles expiring on Netflix Instant in February—it may be your last chance to see some of them for a while.
It wasn't that long ago that we learned Channing Tatum would be playing the role of Cajun mutant Gambit in an upcoming 'X-Men' spinoff film. To make the news a bit better, we also learned that 'RoboCop' remake writer Josh Zeteumer was working on the script, which is based on a treatment by 'X-Men' comics writer Chris Claremont, who also co-created the original character. And today, in even better news, Tatum has announced the release date for 'Gambit,' which will be coming to a theater near you in 2016.
That 'Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2' trailer almost stole some thunder tonight because I pretty much forgot that we were getting a brand, uh, spanking new, Beyoncé-accompanied trailer for '50 Shades of Grey.' Shady move, Blart. The second full trailer for the upcoming adaptation of the popular 'Twilight' fan-fiction erotica novel is here, so let's break it down, shall we?
We won't know exactly how graphic '50 Shades of Grey' is going to be until we see the film with our own cursed eyeballs, but we now officially know that the film has been given an R-rating by the pearl-clutching members of the MPAA. What does that R-rating stand for? Graphic nudity, "strong sexual content," and "unusual behavior." Wait, what the hell is unusual behavior?!
It's here. It's finally here. The first trailer for Marvel's 'Ant-Man' arrived during tonight's two-hour 'Agent Carter' premiere. If for some strange reason you didn't tune in to see Peggy Carter's television debut (what's your excuse?), the trailer has arrived online for your viewing pleasure. Following Marvel's clever tiny teaser marketing, you'll be pleased to watch Paul Rudd's heroics in this regular-sized trailer.
A couple of weeks ago, we saw a brief teaser for Call of Duty Online featuring 'Captain America' star Chris Evans.

Best Mac and Cheese in the U.S.
Every chef has a version of ultra-comforting macaroni and cheese, with nuances ranging from how many gooey cheeses can fit into a single batch to crunchy toppings like sourdough bread crumbs. Here, where to get the best mac and cheese in the country. —Justine Sterling
Little Bird, Portland, Oregon

F&W Best New Chef 2007 Gabriel Rucker's beloved bistro serves a macaroni gratin that can best be described as a "snowballer," according to general manager Devin Haskell: "Once you see it come out of the kitchen, you have to order it." Made with small elbow macaroni, the bubbling hot pasta uses white Tillamook cheddar, Emmi Gruyère and a third rotating cheese—right now it's funky Rogue Creamery blue. Bread crumbs and chives crown each order. littlebirdbistro.com

The Los Alamos County Council unanimously approved two Capital Improvements Projects (CIP) contracts in a meeting Tuesday night.
One of the contracts provides $250,000 for remodeling the community building to serve as the Teen Center and the other provides $200,000 to the White Rock municipal complex remodel that will expand the Senior Center and multi-purpose community use space.
Although staff issued a combined Request for Proposals for both projects, they were addressed as individual projects that could be awarded separately. Each had separate interview teams with stakeholder representation.
NCA Architects, LLC, won both bids.
"It was just happenstance that the same firm came out as the highest scoring proposer on both projects," said Community and Economic Development Director Anne Laurent.
Both projects were greatly scaled back from their original conceptual designs due to limited CIP funding.
The community building is actually the third proposed location for the teen center, following council's rejection of a proposal for a new 18,000-square-foot facility costing $8,932,000 and a failure to reach an agreement on a lease at Central Park Square.

Animal Liberation to boost live sheep export protests
Animal Liberation Victoria is promising to increase its protests against live sheep exports this year.
The group was one of four involved in protests at the Port of Devonport on the weekend, where several arrests took place as attempts were made to stop the ship docking.
A total of 50,000 sheep will travel on the Al Messilah to Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
Patty Mark from Animal Liberation Victoria says protest action can be expected at the Port of Portland in south-west Victoria.
"We're absolutely determined to stop live export," she said.
"We don't discuss our future planned actions for obvious reasons, but the level of passion and commitment is steadfast and strong and the momentum is gathering, especially as overseas organisations like PETA [the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals] are joining in.
"The world attention is being focused on Australia's shame and the enormous pain these animals are going through."

Fight Against Shared Services Plan Continues
Protesters of UT's proposed implementation of share services into its operations held a press conference on Jan. 30, calling for the university to end its relationship with Accenture.
Members of the Save Our Community Coalition held a press conference to urge officials at The University of Texas at Austin to end their relationship with Accenture, a management consulting, technology and outsourcing firm hired to give recommendations in constructing the university's shared services project.
The press conference was held Jan. 30 in front of the steps of the UT tower.
Shared services, a subset of the "Systems for a Greater UT" initiative President Powers announced January of last year, is one of the ways UT plans to consolidate finance, personnel, information technology and purchasing functions currently scattered among various departments.
According to the coalition, which formed in January of 2013, Accenture has a "blemished" track record which includes a long, and dark history of overestimating savings and underestimating costs, fraud, defective pricing schemes, misappropriation of trade secrets, bid-rigging, illegal harvesting of IP data from its clients and failed contracts with several states, including one with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
"Accenture's track record speaks for itself and gives us ample reason to be concerned for our university," Save Our Community Coalition organizer and Plan II junior Bianca Hinz-Foley said. "It confuses me that despite overwhelming faculty, staff, and student concern, the administration continues to align itself with Accenture at the expense of the UT community."
UT Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Kevin Hegarty told The Horn that he is confident that the Accenture employees working for the university are dependable.
"When we engage consultants, we engage people with expertise, not a brand," Hegarty said. "Our people have real life experience."
According to Hegarty, though Accenture executives are advising the Shared Services Steering Committee on the best course of action, they are not voting members of the committee. The committee was created to better represent the interests of the community throughout the creation and implementation of shared services at UT.
Hegarty, who is commmitte's chair, told The Horn that he is open to meeting with the group to address their concerns.
"I met with them three times during the summer; they didn't like my answers," Hegarty said. "I volunteered to meet with them again, they refused."
Sophia Poitier, a UT student and coalition member, confirmed that Hegarty met with the coalition, but said a meeting with UT president Bill Powers is their main goal.
"We've asked to meet with President Powers multiple times -a request that has been denied," Poitier said.
Hegarty said that the opinions of the coalition do not align with that of the majority of the campus which, according to Hegarty, has "embraced" shared services. He said despite opposition, adopting a shared services model is in the best interest of the university and its community.
"We need to be more like a business in our efficiency so we can reinvest that money in academia and research," Hegarty said.
Both sides have yet to reach a consensus and are moving forward with their plans. Hegarty, who has just concluded a series of more than 40 campus dialogue sessions with various groups, hopes to have his recommendations to Powers in February. The Save Our Community Coalition will hold their next rally on Feb. 7, and is expecting an attendance of about 300 students from across the country. The group is collecting signatures from students for an online petition against shared services.

Gone are the days when meetings meant a room full of men and women seating on a conference table to discuss a business agenda for hours. With globalization and new technological advancements, meetings too have become tech savvy. In an era of multinational companies and offshore business outsourcing, meetings involve people from various nations and traveling for the cause of a meeting is simply impractical. Corporate meetings extensively use of audio and video conferencing services, video conferencing being the most effective.
A video conference meeting barely has any disadvantages, but sure has a lot of advantages. It is simply a virtual meet among employees and employers who work across different geographical boundaries. By making use of video and audio aids, members involved in the video conference can see and talk to each other just as they would in a formal conference setting.
This method is definitely a save on cost. Travel costs, cost of arranging an event and hosting costs are all cut out. All it takes is a webcam, a computer, an internet broadband connection, microphone and a projector. Video conference meetings are suited for elaborate as well as short spanned ones. Since it hardly bears any additional cost, it is highly cost effective.
Of late, video conference rooms are designed and equipped to accommodate formal meetings. They can either be a part of your office infrastructure or can be rented too. Businesses across the world are now using these rooms for a variety of purposes. They use the facility to hold training programs for employees conduct product demonstrations for clients and even conduct interviews across different countries. Sure it saves a lot of bucks.
Be it a small business or a multinational corporation, video conferencing is the order of the day. It saves cost, time and also keeps you on par with businesses who are using a service like this.

Good morning to some and early morning to the many, today PBM has tanked big time from (-69%) $15.30 all the way down to $3.78 bouncing back up to $6.16 but falling back down to $4.95 with roughly 15% of today's volume with in 75mins.
What happened?
Short Summary: B.C. rejects copper and gold mine proposal on concerns over salmon.
Link HERE: just google it
I just want to speak on my honest opinion about PBM before anyone thinks about investing but for most people gamble their money away isn't ethical. I've notice that this company alone has been trading only 800-1500 shares a day on average but slowly has been increase the price of this stock with just a few hundred bucks which is bad and today was its highest volume to date. When it comes to investing I always look at the fundamentals in the stock and if it's a good one to invest in and so far looking back 3years of news, I feel there is something fishy going on with this stock. I would not touch this stock until the company updates investors. Keep in mind this stock trades on an ave of 800-1500 shares a day so most likely all long term investors has cashed out and has taken their lost and moved on. The pattern that I saw today with PBM was pretty interesting. A lot of fake supporting bids and many people bidding over thinking that it's support but for most cases it's a play to help their friends get a good price to short. The fake support bid now gets off the bid and wait the price to drop and then cover, I honestly see this stock holding at least $4.15 and a lot of people at the ASK trying to get the best price possible. I see this stock dipping within the first 2hr and slowing going up Like most small, middle cap stocks that take a large dip, there will most day traders flipping the stock and giving hope for people that are still in the stock wishing for a turn around. For the past 16months PBM has been trying to get approve from the B.C government to allow PBM to start mining in the tons of rare metal such as copper and gold. In the meantime PBM has not been slowly gaining revenue by not fast enough for investors to stick around with this stock. One of the major problems with this stock is the small float this company has, like I said earlier this stock can move quickly with a few thousands but tank faster with a few hundreds. I've notice that and will have to stand in the sidelines on this one or not touching it at all. Using Fibonacci retracement from PBM peak to its lowest. Use $4.90 as a stop loss and see for the first 15mins where this stock is going before getting into any position. If it holds over $5.85 then but if it's still below that wait for it.
Sentiment: Strong Sell

The Cat's Tableby Michael Ondaatje

In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England.

In the early 1950s, an eleven-year-old boy in Colombo boards a ship bound for England. At mealtimes he is seated at the "cat's table"—as far from the Captain's Table as can be—with a ragtag group of "insignificant" adults and two other boys, Cassius and Ramadhin. As the ship makes its way across the Indian Ocean, through the Suez Canal, into the Mediterranean, the boys tumble from one adventure to another, bursting all over the place like freed mercury. But there are other diversions as well: one man talks with them about jazz and women, another opens the door to the world of literature. The narrator's elusive, beautiful cousin Emily becomes his confidante, allowing him to see himself "with a distant eye" for the first time, and to feel the first stirring of desire. Another Cat's Table denizen, the shadowy Miss Lasqueti, is perhaps more than what she seems. And very late every night, the boys spy on a shackled prisoner, his crime and his fate a galvanizing mystery that will haunt them forever.
As the narrative moves between the decks and holds of the ship and the boy's adult years, it tells a spellbinding story—by turns poignant and electrifying—about the magical, often forbidden, discoveries of childhood and a lifelong journey that begins unexpectedly with a spectacular sea voyage.
From the Hardcover edition.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times
The New York Times Book Review
The Washington Post
—Wall Street Journal
"A joy and a lark to read . . . Within a few pages of the book's opening, The Cat's Table has done a miraculous thing—it has ceased to be a book, or even a piece of art. It is merely a story, unfolding before the reader's eyes, its churning motor a mystery about what it is exactly that happened on this boat . . . Told in short bursts of exposition so beautiful one actually feels the urge to slow the reading down, the novel shows us how the boy assembles the man."
—Boston Globe
"The Cat's Table is an exquisite example of the richness that can flourish in the gaps between fact and fiction . . . Ondaatje has an eerily precise grasp of the immediacy of a child's world view, and an extraordinary sense of individual destiny . . . It is an adventure story, it is a meditation on power, memory, art, childhood, love and loss. It displays a technique so formidable as to seem almost playful. It is one of those rare books that one could reread an infinite number of times, and always find something new within its pages."
—Evening Standard (UK)
"This book is wonderful, offering all the best pleasures of Ondaatje's writing: his musical prose, up-tempo; his ear for absurd, almost surreal dialogue, which had me laughing out loud in public as I read; his admiration for craftsmanship and specialized language in the sciences and the trades; and his sumptuous evocations of sensual delight . . . In many ways, this book is Ondaatje's most intimate yet."
—Globe and Mail (Canada)
"A treasure chest of escapades from a pitch-perfect writer, an immaculate observer of the dance of humans, giving us an intoxicating mix of tenderly rendered boy's eye perspective and the musings of the older narrator looking back on this intensely formative voyage . . . It is a classic, perfect premise for a novel packed with possibilities. Put it in the hands of one of the most subtle and surprising masters of world writing, Michael Ondaatje, and unalloyed joy lies latent in every sentence and sensuous quirk of the narrative. This is simply blissful storytelling . . . Think the seafaring Joseph Conrad, with an invigorating infusion of Treasure Island, a touch of Mark Twain."
—The Scotsman (UK)
"Ondaatje's best novel since his Booker Prize–winning The English Patient . . . [An] air of the meta adds a gorgeous, modern twist to the timeless story of boys having an awfully big adventure . . . As always, Ondaatje's prose is lyrical, but here it is tempered; the result is clean and full of grace."
—Publishers Weekly (starred)
"A graceful, closely observed novel that blends coming-of-age tropes with a Conradian sea voyage . . . Beautifully detailed, without a false note: It is easy to imagine, in Ondaatje's hands, being a passenger in the golden age of transoceanic voyaging, amid a sea of cocktail glasses and overflowing ashtrays, if in this case a setting more worthy of John le Carré than Noel Coward . . . Elegiac, mature, and nostalgic—a fine evocation of childhood, and of days irretrievably past."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred)
"Ondaatje is justly recognized as a master of literary craft . . . The novel tells of a journey from childhood to the adult world, as well as a passage from the homeland to another country, something of a Dantean experience."
—Annie Proulx, The Guardian (UK)
"Ondaatje's wondrous prose feels more alive to the world than ever before . . . This is a simpler story, more simply told, than Ondaatje has accustomed his readers to . . . Yet The Cat's Table is no less thrilling in its attempts to capture beauty in its various and terrifying forms."
—Financial Times (UK)
"Richly enjoyable, often very funny, and gleams like a really smart liner on a sunny day . . . The magic of this fine book is in the strange inventiveness of its episodes. Ondaatje is really the master of incident in the novel, and the enchantments wash over the reader in waves . . . The beauty of Ondaatje's writing is in its swift accuracy; it sings with the simple precision of the gaze."
—Daily Telegraph (UK)
"The Cat's Table is Ondaatje's most accessible, most compelling novel to date. It may also be his finest . . . Ondaatje's prose is, as always, stunning . . . The Cat's Table is a breathtaking account not only of boyhood, but of its loss. It is a novel filled with utterly unique characters and situations, but universal in its themes, heartbreakingly so, and a journey the reader will never forget."
—Vancouver Sun (Canada)
"An eloquent, elegiac tribute to the game of youth and how it shapes what follows . . . One of the strengths of the novel is the sheer brilliance of characterization on show. The bit players on board the Oronsay are almost Dickensian in their eccentricity and lovability . . . In The Cat's Table, he has not only captured with acute precision the precarious balance of his characters' existence on the move but also the battle that adults wage for the retention of the awe and wonder they once took for granted in their childhood. Ultimately, Ondaatje has created a beautiful and poetic study hre of what it means to have your very existence metaphorically, as well as literally, all at sea."
—Independent on Sunday (UK)
"A novel superbly poised between the magic of innocence and the melancholy of experience."
—Economist (UK)
"Is there a novelist who writes more compellingly about tenderness than Ondaatje? . . . The Cat's Table is a voyage of discovery for the reader as well as for its narrator. I loved the book, was dazzled by its language, and looked forward to turning each page to learn what would happen next."
—Montreal Gazette (Canada)
"The Cat's Table deserves to be recognized for the beauty and poetry of its writing: pages that lull you with their carefully constructed rhythm, sailing you effortlessly from chapter to chapter and leaving you bereft when forced to disembark at the novel's end."
—Sunday Telegraph (UK)
"So enveloping and beautifully rendered, one is reluctant to disembark at the end of the journey . . . The best novels and poetry possess a kind of bottomlessness: each time a reader revisits a masterful work, she finds something new. Though the ocean journey in The Cat's Table lasts a mere 21 days, it encapsulates the fullness of a lifetime. This reader will undoubtedly return to it and unearth new treasures from its depths."
—Quill and Quire (Canada)

Read an Excerpt
THE CAT'S TABLE by Michael Ondaatje
He wasn't talking. He was looking from the window of the car all the way. Two adults in the front seat spoke quietly under their breath. He could have listened if he wanted to, but he didn't. For a while, at the section of the road where the river sometimes flooded, he could hear the spray of water at the wheels. They entered the Fort and the car slipped silently past the post office building and the clock tower. At this hour of the night there was barely any traffic in Colombo. They drove out along Reclamation Road, passed St. Anthony's Church, and after that he saw the last of the food stalls, each lit with a single bulb. Then they entered a vast open space that was the harbour, with only a string of lights in the distance along the pier. He got out and stood by the warmth of the car.
He could hear the stray dogs that lived on the quays barking out of the darkness. Nearly everything around him was invisible, save for what could be seen under the spray of a few sulphur lanterns—watersiders pulling a procession of baggage wagons, some families huddled together. They were all beginning to walk towards the ship.
He was eleven years old that night when, green as he could be about the world, he climbed aboard the first and only ship of his life. It felt as if a city had been added to the coast, better lit than any town or village. He went up the gangplank, watching only the path of his feet—nothing ahead of him existed—and continued till he faced the dark harbour and sea. There were outlines of other ships farther out, beginning to turn on lights. He stood alone, smelling everything, then came back through the noise and the crowd to the side that faced land. A yellow glow over the city. Already it felt there was a wall between him and what took place there. Stewards began handing out food and cor- dials. He ate several sandwiches, and after that he made his way down to his cabin, undressed, and slipped into the narrow bunk. He'd never slept under a blanket before, save once in Nuwara Eliya. He was wide awake. The cabin was below the level of the waves, so there was no porthole. He found a switch beside the bed and when he pressed it his head and pillow were suddenly lit by a cone of light.
He did not go back up on deck for a last look, or to wave at his relatives who had brought him to the harbour. He could hear singing and imagined the slow and then eager parting of families taking place in the thrilling night air. I do not know, even now, why he chose this solitude. Had whoever brought him onto the Oronsay already left? In films people tear themselves away from one another weeping, and the ship separates from land while the departed hold on to those disappearing faces until all distinction is lost.
I try to imagine who the boy on the ship was. Perhaps a sense of self is not even there in his nervous stillness in the narrow bunk, in this green grasshopper or little cricket, as if he has been smuggled away accidentally, with no knowledge of the act, into the future.
He woke up, hearing passengers running along the corridor. So he got back into his clothes and left the cabin. Something was happening. Drunken yells filled the night, shouted down by officials. In the middle of B Deck, sailors were attempting to grab hold of the harbour pilot. Having guided the ship meticulously out of the harbour (there were many routes to be avoided because of submerged wrecks and an earlier breakwater), he had gone on to have too many drinks to celebrate his achievement. Now, apparently, he simply did not wish to leave. Not just yet. Perhaps another hour or two with the ship. But the Oronsay was eager to depart on the stroke of midnight and the pilot's tug waited at the waterline. The crew had been struggling to force him down the rope ladder, however as there was a danger of his falling to his death, they were now capturing him fishlike in a net, and in this way they lowered him down safely. It seemed to be in no way an embarrassment to the man, but the episode clearly was to the officials of the Orient Line who were on the bridge, furious in their white uniforms. The passengers cheered as the tug broke away. Then there was the sound of the two-stroke and the pilot's weary singing as the tug disappeared into the night.
What had there been before such a ship in my life? A dugout canoe on a river journey? A launch in Trincomalee harbour? There were always fishing boats on our horizon. But I could never have imagined the grandeur of this castle that was to cross the sea. The longest journeys I had made were car rides to Nuwara Eliya and Horton Plains, or the train to Jaffna, which we boarded at seven a.m. and disembarked from in the late afternoon. We made that journey with our egg sandwiches, some thalagulies, a pack of cards, and a small Boy's Own adventure.
But now it had been arranged I would be travelling to England by ship, and that I would be making the journey alone. No mention was made that this might be an unusual experience or that it could be exciting or dangerous, so I did not approach it with any joy or fear. I was not forewarned that the ship would have seven levels, hold more than six hundred people including a captain, nine cooks, engineers, a veterinarian, and that it would contain a small jail and chlorinated pools that would actually sail with us over two oceans. The departure date was marked casually on the calendar by my aunt, who had notified the school that I would be leaving at the end of the term. The fact of my being at sea for twenty-one days was spoken of as having not much significance, so I was surprised my relatives were even bothering to accompany me to the harbour. I had assumed I would be taking a bus by myself and then change onto another at Borella Junction.
There had been just one attempt to introduce me to the situation of the journey. A lady named Flavia Prins, whose husband knew my uncle, turned out to be making the same journey and was invited to tea one afternoon to meet with me. She would be travelling in First Class but promised to keep an eye on me. I shook her hand carefully, as it was covered with rings and bangles, and she then turned away to continue the conversation I had interrupted. I spent most of the hour listening to a few uncles and counting how many of the trimmed sandwiches they ate.
On my last day, I found an empty school examination booklet, a pencil, a pencil sharpener, a traced map of the world, and put them into my small suitcase. I went outside and said good-bye to the generator, and dug up the pieces of the radio I had once taken apart and, being unable to put them back together, had buried under the lawn. I said good-bye to Narayan, and good-bye to Gunepala.
As I got into the car, it was explained to me that after I'd crossed the Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea and the Red Sea, and gone through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean, I would arrive one morning on a small pier in England and my mother would meet me there. It was not the magic or the scale of the journey that was of concern to me, but that detail of how my mother could know when exactly I would arrive in that other country.
And if she would be there.
I heard a note being slipped under my door. It assigned me to Table 76 for all my meals. The other bunk had not been slept in. I dressed and went out. I was not used to stairs and climbed them warily.
In the dining room there were nine people at Table 76, and that included two other boys roughly my age.
"We seem to be at the cat's table," the woman called Miss Lasqueti said. "We're in the least privileged place."
It was clear we were located far from the Captain's Table, which was at the opposite end of the dining room. One of the two boys at our table was named Ramadhin, and the other was called Cassius. The first was quiet, the other looked scornful, and we ignored one another, although I recognized Cassius. I had gone to the same school, where, even though he was a year older than I was, I knew much about him. He had been notorious and was even expelled for a term. I was sure it was going to take a long time before we spoke. But what was good about our table was that there seemed to be several interesting adults. We had a botanist, and a tailor who owned a shop up in Kandy. Most exciting of all, we had a pianist who cheerfully claimed to have "hit the skids."

Inside-Out Tower Hosts Its Closets On Its Exterior [Pics]
Outer storage compartments along Dutch building allow for a more spacious interior.
Mei Architecten en Stedenbouwers finished its latest project in Rotterdam with an unusual feature — storage compartments that cling to one side of the building like barnacles.
The architects built upon a power plant turned audio-visual production center to create the new multi-purpose complex containing offices, a supermarket, gym, apartments, and combined live-work space. Each of the 11 floors contains ten outer closets, built out of a synthetic material with a UV-resistant coating.

Israel May Call Early Elections Next MonthSunday, November 30th, 2014
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu will likely call early elections next month as controversy continues over the Jewish nationality bill and other measures — and as the second-largest political party, Yesh Atid, fights for control of the government.
The prime minister has slammed the 2015 budget proposal advanced by Finance Minister Yair Lapid, chairman of Yesh Atid, saying the budget would hurt the IDF and jeopardize Israel's security.
A bill proposed by Lapid to drop the VAT (sales tax) to zero was also criticized by Netanyahu, who said the plan would "waste billions, won't lower the cost of housing and will help only contractors who are close to Lapid advisers."
More to the point, Netanyahu maintained Lapid is blocking him from governing the country effectively — and said new elections were preferably to the "back room deals" he said were sabotaging his leadership.
"The coalition will only survive if I can govern," he said Friday. "I'm not sticking to my chair. I was chosen to run the country and the nation as I see fit but I cannot run the country this way. If Yesh Atid and Lapid continue their irresponsible behavior it will be right to go back to the voters."
In response, Lapid told an audience at a cultural event in Tel Aviv that Netanyahu had not spoken to him in the past month. "Housing reforms are stuck, the budget is stuck, our international relations are deteriorating. Insteading of passing the budget and dealing with these issues [Netanyahu and his advisers] are dealing with petty politics," he complained.
Other politicians are also gearing up for what appears to be an inevitable drive towards early elections.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman, chairman of Yisrael Beytenu, has released a diplomatic plan to Hebrew language dailies — but Liberman had started his political posturing already during this past summer's counter terror Operation Protective Edge.
Former social services minister Moshe Kahlon also held a rally as part of preparations to form a new political party and he too has been making statements to media in what clearly appears to be preparation for elections.
Hareidi religious political parties are holding talks with all sides in order to see who will give them the best deal, as usual; United Torah Judaism has long had a handshake with Yisrael Beytenu, trading local votes for favors in small towns and cities throughout the country. In return, it is likely a similar deal will come into play at the national level when early elections are held.
