This is our second time eating at the Golden Corral and it was really clean, and the food was very good. The steaks were the best and the staff was very helpful. The dessert station was a real treat. We had a great time. We normally eat at expensive restaurants and here we have an inexpensive buffet with good steaks. Go for it!

Local shooters rank high in competition
Published: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 10:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 at 10:14 a.m.
THIBODAUX – A Lafourche Parish couple took top honors at a revolver-shooting championship this past weekend, continuing their long-standing reputation as crack shots, and some other local shooters did well too.
Elliot and Annette Aysen both competed at the International Confederation of Revolver Enthusiasts 2010 Southern Regional Revolver Championship at the Southern Shooting Center in Thibodaux, La.
Sponsored by firearms maker Smith & Wesson, the Southern Regional drew 50 top revolver competitors from eight states, as well as Canada, to compete for titles in the Open, Limited and Retro divisions. The Aysens were part of Team Smith & Wesson.
Elliot Aysen claimed the top spot by winning six of the 10 stages and outpacing runner up Sam Keen of Ramer, Texas by more than 33 points with a final score of 233.27.
Annette Aysen, who pulled double duty during the competition serving as the match director, not only finished sixth in the Limited division to claim the women's division title, but also placed 11th overall making her the "High Lady."
She posted the best score of any female competitor on all ten stages on her way to a final score of 297.60 points. Her nearest competitor was Kalamazoo, Michigan's Sheila Hoekstra who competed in the Open division and finished with a final score of 336.99. Among the women shooting Limited, Barbara Thibodaux, also of Thibodaux, La., finished just under 78 points in back of Aysen to claim second place.
Denise Fox, another Thibodaux resident, took third shooting 378.40.
The Southern Regional Revolver Championship is the first of six regional events being held around the country and sponsored by Smith & Wesson. More than 14,000 rounds were put down range during the Southern Regional. For more information on competition shooting and complete match results , visit www.icore.org.

More than 260 seventh graders from the four Sharp County School Districts were in Evening Shade Oct. 12 to learn what alcohol can do to their bodies and minds before they take their first sip or get behind the wheel of a car.
Mothers Against Drunk Driving Sharp County President Sharon Qualls said most children have their first drink at age 12. MADD, along with Health Resources of Arkansas, hosted the underage drinking prevention program at the school.
"We were trying to find an age group that hadn't started driving yet and could still be influenced," Qualls said.
Of the 2 million teens in the United States, approximately 1 million consume alcohol, Qualls said. It is the most used drug in the nation and kills 6.5 times more young people than all other elicit drugs combined, she said.
"We bring them in and tell them how alcohol affects their bodies and their brains, how to say no when offered alcohol and what to say to friends who choose to drink alcohol," Qualls said. "Anyone who consumes an extensive amount of alcohol can lose 12 percent of their brain. That can mean the difference between passing and failing in school."
Students wore goggles that impaired their vision and tried to walk a straight line and perform normal tasks. Students soon learned that drinking changes everything. They were encouraged to watch for signs of danger, listen for phrases that mean trouble, select the smart choice and plan a creative response if they are ever offered alcohol.
"If they see that there is alcohol and drugs at a get-together they should just leave, but sometimes that isn't possible," Qualls said. "We want them to know what to do if they can't leave."
Students also learned how alcohol can kill in an instant.
Rick Crook, agent with the 3rd Judicial District Drug Task Force, said his family changed forever when he was 14.
While driving along an Arkansas highway with his father, a drunken driver crossed the center line and hit Crook's car. His father and the drunken driver were killed, and Crook spent three days in the hospital. Nine months later his brother died in a drunken driving accident, but this time his brother, married with children, was the drunken driver.
"Do you think he said, 'I'm going to go out and kill myself tonight?' I don't think so," said Crook, a MADD member. "When you get behind the wheel someone can die."
Robin Ramsdale, an Evening Shade teacher and MADD member, also lost a loved one to a drunken driver.
Five years ago his brother, who he thought of like a father, was traveling home from a casino with a girlfriend in Arizona. The couple had nothing to drink but the driver of the pickup truck that hit them had, so much that he didn't even know he had been in an accident, Ramsdale said.
His brother was killed and his girlfriend was badly injured. The driver of the truck, an illegal alien with a wife and three children in Mexico, was sentenced to 12 years in prison.
"His family didn't need to suffer because of his wrong decisions," Ramsdale said. "Drinking and driving is extremely dangerous."
Qualls said parents should talk to their children about alcohol and drinking and driving.
"These kids are just starting earlier and earlier. Parental involvement is very important," she said.

I sometimes have to battle with the format of bulleted lists inside a note in Evernote. In this case, the native Mac OS X client (v1.10.1) died as I was editing the bulleted list in the note. When I tried to relaunch, it crashed and this continued on every subsequent relaunch. The problem is explained in this post (complicated markup crashing the Evernote client when Apple's XML libraries are trying to process it), but how do I solve it?
These instructions were supplied to me the same day I sent a support inquiry to Evernote tech support

149 Tesa 1 Rd, Kamphaeng Phet T: (055) 714 900 F: (055) 714 909
One of the tallest and most noticeable buildings in Kamphaeng Phet, the Chakungrao is impossible to miss near the night market on Tesa 1.
While similarly equipped, the cheapest rooms are smaller but more expensive than those at nearby Navarat Heritage. The advantages here are attached balconies with direct views over the river, and perhaps a warmer and more inviting ambiance inside the rooms. All rooms are outfitted with parquet wood floors, air-con, desks, safes, TVs, WiFi and minibars. Superior rooms are considerably larger than standards. The hotel offers a spa, restaurant, karaoke rooms, bicycle rental and a handful of communal computers in the airy lobby. It has a friendly, professional staff who can speak a little English, and overall it's a fine choice for a comfy room with a good view.

phase change memoryAbbreviated as PCM, phase change memory is a type of non-volatile memory that is much faster than the common flash memory, from 500 to 1,000 times faster, and it also uses up to one half the power. Phase change memory uses a semiconductor alloy that can be changed rapidly between an ordered, crystalline phase having lower electrical resistance to a disordered, amorphous phase with much higher electrical resistance. Because no electrical power is required to maintain either phase of the material, so phase-change memory is non-volatile.

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

Drug Safety:
Improvement Needed in FDA's Postmarket Decision-making and Oversight Process

(202) 512-3407
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In 2004, several high-profile drug safety cases raised concerns about the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) ability to manage postmarket drug safety issues. In some cases there have been disagreements within FDA about how to address safety issues. In this report GAO (1) describes FDA's organizational structure and process for postmarket drug safety decision making, (2) assesses the effectiveness of FDA's postmarket drug safety decision-making process, and (3) assesses the steps FDA is taking to improve postmarket drug safety decision making. GAO conducted an organizational review and case studies of four drugs with safety issues: Arava, Baycol, Bextra, and Propulsid.
Two organizationally distinct FDA offices, the Office of New Drugs (OND) and the Office of Drug Safety (ODS), are involved in postmarket drug safety activities. OND, which holds responsibility for approving drugs, is involved in safety activities throughout the life cycle of a drug, and it has the decision-making responsibility to take regulatory actions concerning the postmarket safety of drugs. OND works closely with ODS to help it make postmarket decisions. ODS, with a primary focus on postmarket safety, serves primarily as a consultant to OND and does not have independent decision-making responsibility. ODS has been reorganized several times over the years. There has been high turnover of ODS directors in the past 10 years, with eight different directors of the office and its predecessors. In the four drug case studies GAO examined, GAO observed that the postmarket safety decision-making process was complex and iterative. FDA lacks clear and effective processes for making decisions about, and providing management oversight of, postmarket safety issues. The process has been limited by a lack of clarity about how decisions are made and about organizational roles, insufficient oversight by management, and data constraints. GAO observed that there is a lack of criteria for determining what safety actions to take and when to take them. Certain parts of ODS's role in the process are unclear, including ODS's participation in FDA's scientific advisory committee meetings organized by OND. Insufficient communication between ODS and OND has been an ongoing concern and has hindered the decision-making process. ODS does not track information about ongoing postmarket safety issues, including the recommendations that ODS staff make for safety actions. FDA faces data constraints in making postmarket safety decisions. There are weaknesses in the different types of data available to FDA, and FDA lacks authority to require certain studies and has resource limitations for obtaining data. Some of FDA's initiatives, such as the establishment of a Drug Safety Oversight Board, a draft policy on major postmarket decision making, and the identification of new data sources, may improve the postmarket safety decision-making process, but will not address all gaps. FDA's newly created Drug Safety Oversight Board may help provide oversight of important, high-level safety decisions, but it does not address the lack of systematic tracking of ongoing safety issues. Other initiatives, such as FDA's draft policy on major postmarket decisions and regular meetings between OND divisions and ODS, may help improve the clarity and effectiveness of the process, but they are not fully implemented. FDA has not clarified ODS's role in certain scientific advisory committee meetings. FDA's dispute resolution processes for disagreements about postmarket safety decisions have not been used. FDA is taking steps to identify additional data sources, but data constraints remain.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Consistent with the matter for Congressional consideration that we put forth, Congress expanded FDA's authority through the Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007, which the President signed into law on September 27, 2007. Among other provisions, this law gives FDA authority to require drug sponsors to conduct postmarket studies to collect additional data on drug safety concerns.
Matter: To improve the decision-making process for postmarket drug safety, the Congress may wish to consider expanding FDA's authority to require drug sponsors to conduct postmarket studies, such as clinical trials or observational studies, as needed, to collect additional data on drug safety concerns.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In September 2007, FDA indicated that a new tracking system to systematically track post-market drug safety issues is being developed as a part of the Document Archiving, Reporting, and Regulatory Tracking System. Training of employees on this post-market drug safety system is currently underway. In January 2007, FDA began incorporating a safety module within the Document Archiving, Reporting, and Regulatory Tracking System (DARRTS) to track the agency's response to significant safety issues identified with the use of marketed drugs. For every significant safety issue, the agency creates a (tracked safety issue (TSI) in DARRTS. In June 2009, the agency published a manual of policies and procedures for tracking significant postmarket safety issues related to drugs in the DARRTS system.
Recommendation: To improve the postmarket drug safety decision-making process, the Commissioner of FDA should establish a mechanism for systematically tracking ODS's recommendations and subsequent safety actions.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Public Health Service: Food and Drug Administration
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: In 2009, FDA stated they no longer plan to implement a draft policy on post-market drug safety decision-making. An FDA official stated that the post-market drug safety decision-making process has changed and as a result, the process described in its draft policy is no longer relevant. As a result, the agency does not feel it is necessary to issue a separate post-market drug safety decision-making policy.
Recommendation: To improve the postmarket drug safety decision-making process, the Commissioner of FDA should, with input from the Drug Safety Oversight Board and the Process Improvement Teams, revise and implement the draft policy on major postmarket drug safety decisions.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Public Health Service: Food and Drug Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In September 2007, FDA indicated that a Manual of Policies and Procedures entitled "Documenting Differing Professional Opinions and Dispute Resolution - Pilot Program" is in draft form. It includes a pilot procedure for CDER staff to express differing professional opinions concerning regulatory actions or policy decisions with significant public health impacts in instances when the normal procedures for resolving disputes are not sufficient. This draft manual is currently under internal review.In 2009, an agency official stated the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research is in the process of revising the Differing Professional Opinions policy, but they have not set a date yet for completing the revision. CDER is making a few changes to its policy, but CDER stated the planned changes do not address GAO's recommendation to increase the program's independence. 2012 FDA information indicates that FDA policy documents have implemented this policy.
Recommendation: To improve the postmarket drug safety decision-making process, the Commissioner of FDA should improve the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research's dispute resolution process by revising the pilot program to increase its independence.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Public Health Service: Food and Drug Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In September 2007, FDA reported that the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research has implemented a restructuring to facilitate improvements in regulatory and drug development science and how to evaluate and ensure the safety and efficacy of the products FDA regulates. However, FDA response did not include a clarification of ODS's role in FDA's scientific advisory committee meetings involving postmarket drug safety issues. In 2009, FDA stated that instead of developing a policy clarifying ODS's role in meetings, they added language to the manual for agency staff responsible for managing the scientific advisory committees. The manual instructs staff to ask the OND division coordinating an advisory committee meeting on postmarket drug safety issues whether OSE should be involved in the meetings, but doesn't address OSE's role in giving presentations during the meetings. In 2012, FDA clarified that the Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology (new name for ODS) plays an prominent role in setting advisory committe agendas when a safety issue aries.
Recommendation: To improve the postmarket drug safety decision-making process, the Commissioner of FDA should clarify ODS?s role in FDA's scientific advisory committee meetings involving postmarket drug safety issues.

2012 Toyota Prius Body Kits
2012 Toyota Prius body kits are exterior components that can be used to revise and rejuvenate a vehicle's appearance. After years of driving, the exterior components on many automobiles starts to look old and, frankly, ugly. Any damage to a vehicle's paint or to the exterior parts themselves can lower a vehicle's market value, making the use of bodykits is just that much more important. A body kit can transform a ride appear newer, without ever replacing any of the mechanics of the automobile.
Most stylish 2012 Toyota Prius bodykits upgrades come with replacements for several parts, ground effects and side skirts. These are the areas of a car that are often damaged from daily driving, but these alone aren't the only pieces that could be easily fixed. Other custom body paneling can be used to customize a vehicle's look, so 2012 Toyota Prius bodykits can sometimes be tailored to a car owner's specific desires. For an improved appearance that takes off the poor looks resulting from years of usage, a cool bodykits can serve you well.

Are they still vegetarian at all?Posted on 07 / 26 / 2013
In recent weeks I've been into three different outlets that I used to frequent and all have stopped doing any kind of veggie burger. They couldn't tell me whether this was nationwide and I was unable to find an email contact so I sent a letter to their headquarters in Aoyama requesting a clarification and explanation. I wrote it in Japanese leaving my full details but I never got a reply. Can anyone else update me on this?
It may just be the places I go, but after many years in Japan I feel things are getting less vegetarian-friendly (not that it was ever very friendly). Several products that I used to buy have been discontinued or have had non-vegetarian ingredients added to them.

Today's work of the day is the poem, The Point, by C. Dale Young via the fine journal StorySouth.

Young has published four collections of poetry to date (I'm behind on this by one I believe) and has a collection of short stories I'm greatly looking forward to coming from Four Way Books next year. Young is also a doctor and while this doesn't always directly enter his poetry, when it does, it can be very powerful.

His other doctors proclaimed he would die

     within a month. He kept on living for years:

the simple fact is that he was barely thirty

is the opening stanza of sixteen such stanzas which are followed by a single line. Here's where I have to offer my standard poetry apology--I've not studied poetry at all, if this is a particular type of poem or if there's a better way to describe these "sections" I do not know.

While one never knows just how autobiographical a piece is, be it poetry or fiction, I think there's an inherent belief by most readers that there's something within the work that comes direct from the author's life. And when the author has the protagonist in her/her work be very similar to themselves, it makes it that much more difficult for the reader to avoid this.

In which case, I imagine the ideas behind this poem must have flooded out of Young, though also much have been pretty crushing to continue working on and refine until he had it just right. While the patient noted "kept on living for years," I think it's pretty obvious from that opening that things aren't going to continue on that way for long.

And while I think doctors must have some sort of mechanism to get through the lost patients--especially those working mainly with patients that suffer life-threatening diseases--I also think there must be patients that have something about them that make these mechanisms seem very inefficient.

So this is it? You're just going to let me die?

     Mano, you leave me here to die like this?

But here, you see, the tongue is wiser than

a knife, the word selected not just "brother" but

     a word that cut far deeper than English ever could.

The urge to prophecy is deep but not a given.

The italicized section the words of this patient as the doctor has run out of ways to fight his cancer. And these words, this particular word, Mano, has cut the doctor deep. As implied early in the poem, the patient does indeed pass away. Early the morning that this occurs, this conversation returns to the doctor's mind. The patient's sister called later that day to inform that doctor that her brother had passed very early that a.m. This leads to the doctor wondering how he knew and again brought to mind that word Mano.

Whether or not this is a situation Dr. Young has personally gone through, one would assume his years of doctoring, of associating with other doctors, is what has given him the insight to write such a poem, but it's his years of working with words on the page that have allowed him to draw such power into this work. That allowed it to be as concise as it is--that allows the reader to feel the gut punch that the doctor in The Point must feel.

Book Review 2016-006
Hesitation Wounds by Amy Koppelman
2015 by The Overlook Press, 187 pages

(I purchased a copy of this hardcover when it came out late in the fall)

(There are a plot spoiler or two in this review--couldn't really figure out how to keep them out)

Amy Koppelman might be the bravest writer I know. She writes of difficult subjects--specifically various forms of depression--and does not shy away from any aspects of the disease. Her debut, A Mouthful of Air (MacAdam/Cage, 2003) told the story of a new mother suffering from postpartum depression. Her follow-up, I Smile Back (Two Dollar Radio, 2008), followed a married mother as she tried to work through her bi-polar depression through searching for wider ranges of high excitement. In each of these cases, Koppelman chose to allow the reader to feel as close to what it feels like to have either of these forms of depression by digging deeply into their minds. Not simply implying or stating that they were feeling dark, but expressing exactly what they were feeling and how their actions might help or hinder any development toward their improvement.

In Hesitation Wounds, while still dealing with the subject of depression, Koppelman has switched points of view and has as her main character Susanna Seliger, a renowned psychiatrist working with patients suffering from treatment-resistant depression. Koppelman gives us the thoughts from one who helps battle depression for others, and not one battling herself. And while depression, specifically of two individuals, plays a prominent role in this novel, Koppelman has really tackled grief and memory in Hesitation Wounds.

The novel begins with Dr. Seliger in an airport--she's recently received a phone call from an adoption agency suggesting they believe they've found her a daughter. Without much warning the narrative goes into her remembering a patient, Jim, telling her a story. It's something Koppelman does very well in this novel--she changes time frames and what one might refer to as scenes freely and while the time span covers some nearly 30 years, the novel is mainly written in the present tense. However, Koppelman's writing is so crystal clear, it never takes more than a sentence or so for the reader to realize that a switch has been made.

The patient, Jim, is undergoing ETC (electroconvulsive therapy) as what one would have to consider a last ditch effort to battle the voices that have been in and out of his head for years. At this time he's in for his last treatment. He's middle-aged, married, has a couple of dogs, and is a freelance writer. As this afternoon comes to an end, Jim is headed off with his wife and Dr. Seliger runs slightly late to meet Evan for dinner at an Italian restaurant. I don't remember it being clear at the moment of this meal, but it comes out later that the two are in a long-standing relationship but not married. During the meal, right after Susa (her childhood nickname) tells Evan that she loves him, he lets her know that he impregnated a waitress on his last trip out of town. Which leads to their relationship ending and throughout the rest of the novel has Dr. Seliger remembering incidents from this and other relationships.

Getting back to grief and memory--Jim ends up succumbing to the voices and hangs himself. Something about his death really brings to the forefront Susa's memories of her brother Dan, dead now some 28 years. While Dan didn't necessarily commit suicide, Susa's memories have her convinced that he was suffering from depression, was offering her clues, and that her hesitation to act upon them allowed him to not prevent himself from dying in a fire. While he may not have planned out a suicide, from his best friend's (Ray) description of the event, Dan didn't do very much to stop it from happening once he realized what was going on--in fact a little grin crossed his face upon that realization. And Susa has been suffering from his loss ever since.

The novel spends time in the 80's, back before Dan died, times when he and Susa and Ray (and at times 2 or 3 others were mentioned but not strongly) spent time getting high, talking about the two boys going out tagging--this in NYC when it wasn't shiny like it is now. It spends more closer to current time with Evan and Dr. Seliger. There's time not so long after Dan dies that Susa and Ray have a long relationship, moving in together. It also leaps to what would seemingly be the future considering the starting point of the novel, a time where Dr. Seliger has adopted a nearly five year old Cambodian named Mai. Much of it is in the form of Susa talking to her deceased brother, and, in this way, it feels as if she's speaking directly to the reader.

Throughout each different time period (beyond that when Dan is still alive), Susa constantly grieves for Dan. The levels vary, and the things that trigger her grief aren't consistent. What also varies, albeit slightly, is how Susa remembers things. She seems to be letting her memories convince herself that Dan was trying to signal to her that he was suffering, that he was going to do something about it, and that she could have done something to stop from happening what eventually did. Especially after her patient Jim's final actions.

If instead of calling you crazy I said I was willing to go with you, would you have waited for me? Could I have saved you? Could I have?

At one point she even wonders if she continues to think about the past will she be able to keep track of what is memory and what is real.

Koppelman's writing also needs mentioning here. To call it spare is not an overstatement. In the sections that are not dialogue, one imagines that Koppelman must have done a lot of deleting during revisions until she found just the right words, just the right number of syllables, just the right structure:

I can feel the pages of the book against my thumb. A paperback. The edges worn. Dog-eared.

The above is a typical paragraph. No lengthy, descriptive, sentences. Information chopped up and offered piecemeal. Between that and the time jumps but keeping everything in the present tense, the book really flies by. I read it in two sittings and if I didn't have to stop in between I wouldn't have. People frequently tell each other to work through their grief--it will get better. What Koppelman shows through Dr. Seliger is that it might not necessarily really get better, but when you can find other things to keep your thoughts busy, that grief isn't the main focus of your attention. While the topic isn't the brightest, the writing and structure are so fantastic that it's truly a great read.

Reminder--May will be National Short Story Month around the EWN. Here's hoping many others join in as well.

Looking for guest posts--basically anything dealing with short stories--reviews of stories, reviews of collections, looks at authors that are known as short story writers, interviews, etc.

My own plans include:

a) reviewing at least a story a day

b) going through the Dzanc Books published short story collections and noting what I remember about their being selected for publication and something about the stories within

c) looking at story collections by Dzanc authors published by other publishers

And for Twitter folks, I think a simple #NSSM2016 should help everybody find as many posts as possible throughout the month.

Book Review 2016-005
Safe From the Sea by Peter Geye
2010 by Unbridled Books, 244 pages

(While I am sure I received a galley of this from the publisher when it came out, I bought the copy I read from Literati in Ann Arbor)

Somebody out there smarter and better read than I am has probably put together a list of wonderful writers that were brought to the reading public for the first time by the duo of Greg Michalson and Fred Ramey in their various publishing incarnations (William Gay, Steve Yarbrough, Rick Collignon, Masha Hamilton, Andrea Portes, Virginia Pye, Frederick Reuss for starters), and while it took me six years to get to it, I'm very glad that Peter Geye was added to that list. Safe From the Sea is a great read on many levels. There's a great father-son story; there's at least one great husband-wife story within; there's a not quite coming-of-age aspect to it; and smack in the middle there's a page-turning aspect that would make most suspense writers happy. It also is a wonderful representation of Midwest writing.

 What Geye has really done though in my mind, is taken a somewhat familiar premise--dad and son not speaking so much for many years, dad let's son know he needs help/is dying, they pretty much work through things before dad dies--yet created a novel in which his readers will find themselves flipping the pages rapidly, caring about the characters--not just those two but the others that sit more on the peripheries--and not find that everything fits together in the end like it was just a well-conceived jigsaw puzzle.

The novel begins with a prologue that I believe actually works. Too often a prologue simply to me seems to be chapter one with no reason to be singled out. However in this work, the prologue occurs many years before the current time. It has one of the main characters, Olaf Torr (the father) working on a ship in the Great Lakes, talking to a co-worker about the fact that his wife has just recently (nine days) had given birth to his son, Noah (the son). In a scant few pages the reader learns quite a bit about Olaf, about his work as an officer on the ship headed for the Soo, on his thoughts ("sad and beautiful") about his missing his wife and child.

The novel proper begins with Olaf calling Noah, who he really hasn't spoken to since attending Noah's wedding to Natalie some six years earlier. He asks Noah for help, which might stun him even more than the fact that the old man has called in the first place. A quick side story develops as Natalie is pretty horrified that Noah is even considering leaving as they've been trying to have a child regularly and she's ovulating. Noah's taking off creates at least two potential issues of tension--he and his father, and the obvious tension with Natalie.

What transpires between Noah and Olaf is extremely well done. There's no big blow up scene between the two of them, there's no big make-up scene. Their conversations begin slightly stilted and develop throughout the novel. Noah realizes just how bad off Olaf is as the two of them fish and work a bit around Olaf's very out of the way home in Misquah, a good hour outside of Duluth, Minnesota. Noah, who owns and works in a vintage map store, takes at the very least a small liking to the physical work necessary around the place--the chopping of wood, the crisp weather, even going to far as to do something he never was considered man enough to do before he left, something he'd only seen his father and grandfather do, bathe in the lake--the water cold enough to shock your body into not breathing upon entry. It's this subtle transformation of Noah that I consider to be a not-quite coming-of-age story.

Throughout the novel, Olaf and Noah treat each other more like men than they do father and son. The father-son dynamic is present, but with Noah needing to do so much to help Olaf, there's just enough of it pulled back to allow Noah to act closer to an equal to his father than as a son. Make no mistake, there is still that presence of a son wanting to please his father, wanting to make him proud, but it's not over the top.

There's something about this man to man aspect their relationship takes that allows some things that occur to make more sense than they otherwise might. A monster component to this story is the fact that the ship Olaf was an officer on in the prologue, the Ragnarøk, sank in Lake Superior. Olaf was one of three survivors. From the moment they were rescued he lived life differently--he drank too much, quit properly communicating with his family, became much more withdrawn. This led to his wife cheating on him with their neighbor, to the kids, Noah and his sister, Solveig, growing up confused to say the least, and shut out from him. While Noah is in Misquah, he asks Olaf about that night--quick aside, the day he arrived in Duluth, he visited a Great Lakes Shipping Museum and had reviewed a section on the wreck of the ship, including a photo of the crew including his father--and where I'm not so sure Olaf would have shared the story were Noah acting the petulant child, his going along with the conversation seemed to fit.

This would be the page-turner aspect of the novel--it's hard to believe that Peter Geye didn't spend some time on freighters in the Great Lakes as a young man. He's either very well read on the topic or listened to a lot of old yarns in bars over the years, but his description of the storm hitting Superior while the Ragnarøk was cutting across, and how the men worked to get through, and the details of the various rooms, and the ice on the deck, and the lifeboats, and beyond is riveting. It's a lengthy section of the novel and it is subtly interspersed with Noah either having recollections, or having realizations about his father--about this event and how it affected the old man. While they've seemingly been doing okay together, hearing this story direct from Olaf is what pushes their relationship to being truly back to solid father-son ground. Especially when it hits a point, after telling of their rescue, when Olaf admits:

"For most of your life I've used that night as an excuse. Not because I wanted or needed one but because I had no control over what it did to me. I should have. Hard as it would've been, I should have beaten it."

It's a pretty astonishing admission and it comes across in a simple fashion. And this is what brings me to the Midwestern aspect of Geye's novel. And it's not surprising, Peter Geye was born and raised in Minnesota and resides there now. This novel is not flashy in any way. The language is straightforward, and there's a strong element of work ethic within. It's a trait Midwesterners are rightly proud of--you get up, put in a hard day's work, and go to bed exhausted. There is also that feeling of needing to beat back the elements that try to slow you down--the weather, downturns in the economy, jobs being sent elsewhere, and even things like a huge storm over Lake Superior causing you to be one of three men to survive a shipwreck and fire.

Geye has again taken a pretty standard fiction trope and created within that trope a story that is anything but standard. It is powerful in the emotions it brings forth, especially with the lack of flash invoked. Even the story of the shipwreck works through in a straightforward manner. The shipwreck aspect might keep this from what I would call a quiet novel, but just barely. This is a novel full of events, but they don't feel eventful; they feel more like every day life than again, the idea of a well-conceived jigsaw puzzle. Once again, Greg Michalson and Fred Ramey, this time via Unbridled Books, have given readers their first taste of a wonderful writer in Peter Geye. I look forward to reading much more of his work over the years.

Monday night I went out to the first reading I've been to in a while. Desiree Cooper, whose story collection, Know the Mother, I had just reviewed, was reading. Earlier in the afternoon I also happened to hear her give a great interview on the local NPR station.

As is typical with readings at Literati, the introduction was fantastic--not too long, but not a simple announcement. Desiree had a great reading voice, was plenty loud for those of us who opted to sit in the back, and she had the ability to, without using voices, convey the different characters as she read her work.

The collection has many flash stories--and many of her flash stories are 750 words or less. This allowed her to read more than one or two complete works and not excerpts. She began with the opening story, "Witching Hour," which is a wonderful introduction to her collection.

Cooper then discussed the various types of women in her stories and how they were the focus of the collection. She brought up women that worked and then read"Ceiling," a story about a lawyer asking about maternity leave and hearing the phrase: 'If you wanted to have babies, why did you go to law school." This followed by "Cartoon Blue," a story about a lawyer who actually goes through the beginning of a miscarriage while on the phone with a client. It's a brutal story and maybe even more so having heard it read aloud.

Other works I remember Cooper reading include:

"Princess Lily," about a 14 year old who got pregnant while living in Japan and how she stayed with a Japanese family during the time of her 'condition;'

"Mourning Chair," a story from the point of view of a mother waiting for her daughter to come home (containing the line she knows she'd tell a cop if one came to her door---'She's the one with her heart beating in my pocket;'

She read "Soft Landing," sort of a fantasy story, and she also read "To the Bone," and I'm glad I was there to hear the introduction to this one as it pointed out a very specific element of repetition that I hadn't noticed that really works well.

It was a nice evening as Desiree Cooper lives locally and so the crowd mostly knew her, or her work. She even had a relative show up. She did a Q&A at the end and signed copies of the book and all in all it was a good reminder of why I used to attend a lot more readings than I have lately.

Book Review 2016-004
Know the Mother by Desiree Cooper
2016 by Wayne State University Press, 213 pages

(I requested and received this review copy from WSU Press)

Desiree Cooper's Know the Mother is one of the most singularly focused short story collections I've encountered that wasn't really a novel-in-stories, or a collection of stories about a specific character or entity. Cooper's focus is women, and while she covers a very wide range of women, there's no doubt that, while wildly different in many aspects of life, in a world where racism is at least being discussed rather openly, sexism remains prevalent without discussion, even coming from those that love us most, and it touches them all.

There are 31 stories in this collection and while I see from her biography that Cooper was a founding board member of Cave Canem, a national residency for emerging black poets, and so one would believe a lover of poetry, I can't help wonder if her having been a columnist for (I'm guessing here as one who used to read her work in Detroit) at least a decade isn't somewhat responsible for her ability to hone in on her subject and not waste a word in the numerous flash fictions within this collection. And much as I really love the two longer stories in the collection, "Reporting for Duty, 1959" and "Night Coming," I really think she shines most brightly in the flashes that are a page or less in length.

The collection begins with "Witching Hour," a half-page effort that asks seven questions including the collection opening:

Why do we wake each night in that spiritless moment between worlds, we mothers and daughters and wives?

The story and seven questions serve as a great introduction to the book as Cooper gets the reader thinking about women and the expectations they put upon themselves, or have had thrust upon themselves, right away. The stories that follow have women of all kinds--those taking care of ailing parents, mothers of young children, wives early in their marriages, young single women, older single women, women in happy marriages, women in unhappy marriages, mothers of boys, girls, heterosexuals, and lesbians. Women struggling to stretch every penny and women living in the nicest neighborhoods. And Cooper seems to inhabit each type of woman perfectly with her words.

The questions asked of these women, the pressures put upon them, from the outside or from within their own selves, should shock, until one really contemplates our world today and the knowledge that this is really still how it is out there. The story "Ceiling" ends:

"If you wanted to have babies," he said, smiling gently, "why did you go to law school?"

Another story, "Cartoon Blue," about a woman working at a law firm includes:

The ladies' bathroom has only two stalls. No one deemed that more than a handful of women would ever work here.

And it's not just women that work that are forced into stressful positions. In perhaps the longest story in the collection, "Reporting for Duty, 1959," Joyce is the African American mother of two, driving cross country with her husband who is an Air Force Sgt. Again, it's 1959 and the older of her two sons pushes the dad into stopping to try to get a room at the Holiday Inn he's been seeing commercials for (big tv's and swimming pools!). Though the sign says Vacancy, it's apparent through the car and lobby windows to Joyce that things aren't going smoothly inside:

Joyce had been watching, too, her hand holding the door handle so tightly that blue veins popped up like Highway 10 on Junior's road map. She bit her lip nervously and turned to the boys.

The things men take for granted aren't always obvious either, from "Origins of Sacrifice""

Jim steered with one hand, driving into the quiet evening, preoccupied with important things. Kate stared jealously at how easy driving was for him--like an extension of breathing. Because she had been put on bed rest--and then had a C-section--Kate hadn't been able to drive for months. She tried to remember that feeling of absolute, one-handed control.

Cooper isn't just succinct with her usage of words, but has strung together many powerful, beautifully written sentences:

Junior stared at his father, at the steadiness of his father's eyes on the road, the patience of hismouth, the stripes on his sleeve, the eagle insignia on his hat.

Beneath me runs a clotted river. The water is red. The walls are cooling-board brown.

But she stared back, her feet planted and steady, the queasiness fading into resolve.

He fled into the night, the falling snow erasing his footsteps.

The women in Know the Mother are strong, even when it might outwardly appear they aren't. They carry the weight of the world on their shoulders and nobody stops them from doing so--even their own mothers. While this collection might be read more frequently by women, hopefully it will fall into the hands of many men as well.

Keith Lee Morris' new one, Traveler's Rest arrived today, as did Jason Lee Brown's novella, Championship Run, and Philip F. Deaver's long-awaited second story collection, Forty Martyrs.

I absolutely loved Morris' The Dart League King as you can read if you click here and scroll down to number 46, calling it maybe the best book I'd read in 2008, and dug his story collection published after that as well. Very much looking forward to this new one.

Jason Lee Brown, I met in November of 2006 at Devil's Kitchen, a literary conference hosted by Southern Illinois University in Carbondale. Since then I've kept in touch with him and his work and was very excited when he announced the publication of this novella.

I don't remember how long it's been since I first read Philip K. Deaver's Silent Retreats (Flannery O'Connor Short Fiction Award winner), but I know I've dipped into it for a story or three (or the whole collection) at least once per year since that original read. I also loved his poetry collection.

Picked up a couple of titles today, one hard copy and one via kindle.

I'm enjoying Peter Geye's Safe From the Sea and know his forthcoming Wintering is headed here and so grabbed a copy of The Lighthouse Road so that I can have it so I'm reading his work in chronological order. If you know nothing about Peter's work, here's all you need to know--Greg Michalson of Unbridled Books brought the first two into the world, and Gary Fisketjon of Knopf is the editor on Wintering. This has been a pretty wonderful combination in the past (Steve Yarbrough for one) and simply put--two editors with FANTASTIC eyes for great writers and wonderful books.

I also picked up Sara Baume's debut novel, Spill Simmer Falter Wither (2016, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt)--at least the version I bought is 2016 from HMH. This book was originally published in Baume's native Ireland where it was the winner of the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature; winner of the Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year; Short-listed for the Costa First Novel Award; Long-listed for the Guardian First Book Award, Reader's Choice; Long-listed for the Warwick Prize for Writing; and Long-listed for the Edinburgh First Book Award---and it has a DOG ON THE COVER. Plus the prologue was fantastic.

Hamas is under pressure twice over, from both the worsening domestic situation in the Strip and the militant organization potentially losing its main threat against Israel.23:32 03.05.16 | 0 comments
What Israel lacks is not strategy, rather intestinal fortitude. It has forgotten its purpose and reason for existing. It's gotten fat and lost its appetite to survive. Israel needs to lose this fraudulent absurd righteous thinking that they can only defend itself against someone who carries a weapon. They have forgotten that the real weapon is the ideology its enemies carry in their minds...and the true conviction they have for this ideology. Israel needs to lose the "I'd rather die than kill an innocent civilian" attitude. If the civilian believes in this destructive Islamic ideology but doesn't carry a gun, he/she is still as deadly as one who carries a weapon. Israel needs to retool its psychology and perhaps even smack the left wing peace perverts around a little. Israel will not survive 20 more years with its current state of affairs. Haniyeh, Nazzrallah, Ahmadinejad, Assad, and all those of this ilk should be systematically eliminated and those who call for Israel's death.
