No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is a fine little book. A young married couple in netherlands takes in a jewish man during the war. He unexpectedly dies. The book goes back and forth in time. Including the possibility for a time that the dead man's body, left in the park, with it's laundry tags, may implicate the young couple. For a time they to must go into hiding. Listened as an audibook.
Set in Holland during WW II, a couple loosely affiliated with the Dutch resistance take in a Jewish refugee hiding from the Nazis. After a brief period, they begin to resent one another in small ways. Their lodger becomes even more annoying when he dies. Their displeaure with him grows when they find how difficult clandestine corpse disposal is in a police state. Not a funny book, but a black comedy with insight into the motives of people trying to do the right thing.
A gem of a novella. Dutch, written right after the war, it tells the story of a young married couple sheltering an older Jewish man. The story bounces back and forth in time, organized around the events before and after the man they are hiring dies of what seems to be pneumonia.
Although not perfect, it is deeply humane and evocative.
This is the second the of the three novels written by Hans Keilson, a German Jew who escaped Germany in 1936 and joined the Dutch Resistance. His parents refused to go into hiding and were deported to Auschwitz where they were murdered. Hans did spend time in hiding, and this book reflects his understanding of the tensions inherent in long-term isolation, for both the hidden and the hiders.
Wim and Marie are an ordinary Dutch couple who take in and hide a Jewish man they know as Nico, not out of sympathy for the plight of Jews or a sense of humanism, but out of simple patriotism. The past year of hiding turns out to be easier than they expected, although not without its trials. But now they have a problem on their hands. Nico has died of pneumonia, and they need to get rid of the body.
In flashbacks, the author presents the tensions, misunderstandings, and growing compassion from both the perspective of the Dutch couple and the Jewish man they are hiding. What is great about this novella is not any extraordinary action or insight, but its average normalcy. This is the story of the unsung; no less courageous because of their lack of notoriety.
Still forming my thoughts on this one.
Comedy in a Minor Key" is very much about these issues: the endurance of life in a universe of death....The existential questions, forms the substance of this delicately balanced novel, a book of such profound and understated beauty that it almost seems to function as a parable...But in some sense, "Comedy in a Minor Key" is a testament to the power of consolation in an inconsolable situation, not to make things better but to allow us to see them as they are.
As you might expect from a book titled Comedy in a Minor Key, Hans Keilson's novella – it's 136 pages long – is a tonally eccentric work. It's a mixture of grief, hope, fear and, if such a thing is possible, dry slapstick. ...I think Comedy in a Minor Key is one of the best short novels I've ever read...For me, the work's chief accomplishment, aside from the quickness and subtlety of Keilson's characterizations, is in its juxtaposition of the day-to-day (the banal) against the historically monstrous (the Second World War, the ruthless hunt for the Jews)..Comedy in a Minor Key is the work of a consummate artist, a wonderful writer. And the most striking thing about it may well be that it has taken so long for such exceptional work to be translated into English.
For busy, harried or distractible readers who have the time and energy only to skim the opening paragraph of a review, I'll say this as quickly and clearly as possible: "The Death of the Adversary" and "Comedy in a Minor Key" are masterpieces, and Hans Keilson is a genius.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0374126755, Hardcover)
A penetrating study of ordinary people resisting the Nazi occupation—and, true to its title, a dark comedy of wartime manners—Comedy in a Minor Key tells the story of Wim and Marie, a Dutch couple who first hide a Jew they know as Nico, then must dispose of his body when he dies of pneumonia. This novella, first published in 1947 and now translated into English for the first time, shows Hans Keilson at his best: deeply ironic, penetrating, sympathetic, and brilliantly modern, an heir to Joseph Roth and Franz Kafka. In 2008, when Keilson received Germany's prestigious Welt Literature Prize, the citation praised his work for exploring "the destructive impulse at work in the twentieth century, down to its deepest psychological and spiritual ramifications."

Traces the struggles of a Dutch couple who shelter a Jewish man during the Nazi occupation and dispose of his body when he dies of pneumonia.

I'm talking to Reynolds about doing a project bike with it sometime next year. It's all up in the air at them moment. The head of Industrial Design at Monash is keen to get me do to a PhD on what I'm proposing, but I'm not sold on the idea yet.
Whatever road I take for that though, I'll still be happy to make frames from 953 if someone orders one. The external shapes are basically the same at 853, except with thinner wall profiles. The raw materials cost is going to be roughly the same as Titanium, so I suspect the retail price on them will be the same as Ti plus whatever the heat treatment costs are. Think in the vicinity of USD2500+ per frame.
There's a couple of things that puzzle me though I have to say. Firstly, I think the biggest advantage of the material is in the MTB arena, yet Reynolds is targeting the more cashed up boutique road market. That's a bit disappointing, but understandable, and they have said they will bend some stays for me with a reasonable MOQ, so I can't sh¡tcan them too much there. The second thing is I do think they should've approached their loyal longterm customers to do hush-hush R&D with them similar to what Easton did with Yeti and Manitou when it was developing it's Aluminium. I think creating two vapourware frames for show without some decent saddletime wasn't the best idea. You're not creating a lot of consumer confidence that way.

Nineteen years ago Kate Welling was a curious, adventurous two-year-old, a tenacious problem solver who was enthusiastic about all activities presented to her in the classroom, said her first teacher at Sarah Lawrence College's Early Childhood Center, Lorelle Phillips. Last Friday the ECC's playground was named for Kate who tragically lost her life in 2005.
In the dedication read by Sara Wilford, director of the College's Art of Teaching program and former director of the Early Childhood Center, Kate was remembered. "Kate became a young adult with the attributes we wish for all our students as they grow into adolescence and adulthood: compassion, fairness and courage."
Honoring Kate's humanity and remembering the nursery school that contributed to her growth as an individual who "loved life and embraced differences", her parents, Helen and Thomas Welling, have established the Kate Welling Memorial Scholarship enabling children who would not otherwise be able to attend the Early Childhood Center. Support for the scholarship fund has come from family and friends, many from the Bronxville community.
Sarah Lawrence College's Early Childhood Center has been an important part of the College's academic program since its inception in 1937. The ECC provides undergraduate students of developmental psychology and graduate students in the art of teaching and child development programs an opportunity to observe theory in practice. Their presence in the classroom is what makes the Center unique—and special to the children. The college students become completely integrated into the life of the classroom, sharing their love of learning, forming relationships by reading to the children, encouraging them in their art projects and discussing the children's interests with them.
As Michele Myers, president of the College, said in her remarks at the dedication, the ECC is one of the central points of contact between the College and the surrounding community reflecting many of the same educational principals of the College.

As the investigation into several gang-related shootings continues in Greenville, police say they've been able to tie more cases together.
In addition to seven shootings in the span of nine days, the latest last Saturday, police say a June 18th shooting was also connected to recent gang activity.
Travis Pittman was shot in the 1600 block of West 3rd street around 4:00 a.m. Police say they're confident they know who the suspects are in these cases, but say the victims have not been too helpful.
Chief William Anderson says members of rival gangs have been behind these shootings. He says there have been new developments in the cases, but nothing the department is ready to release.

Red Hat CEO Whitehurst: Open Source Better, Faster
After a year as its head, Jim Whitehurst has issued a financial assessment of the Red Hat Linux distro and spoke of its future plans. He sees the company braced for success, with an advantage over its proprietary competitors, thanks to Open Source.
Whitehurst quotes increased sales in 2008 for Red Hat, with a clear nod to a continuing rosy future with Open Source. Not to be over-modest, he calls his recent press release the "State of the Union at Red Hat." The yearly results gave him reason for optimism: "In fiscal year 2008, Red Hat became the first open source vendor to cross the $500 million mark in revenues and we've also maintained 27 consecutive quarters of sequential growth in total revenue." In December he had already prognosticated opportunities for Open Source despite the current economic climate in an interview with Linux Magazine Online. He now sees his forecast confirmed: "With the current economic downturn, IT budgets are shrinking while expectations for performance, quality and innovation continue to grow... I continue to see great opportunities for... the open source community."
It is just this community of proponents of a steady give-and-take that the former CEO of Delta Airlines considers the crux of the competitive advantage: "I've met with customers and partners all over the world during the past 13 months and have heard great stories about companies who are not only consumers of Red Hat and open source, but who have also contributed back." Whitehurst plans to use these relationships "to develop solutions that serve real needs and solve real problems." He acknowledges that two Red Hat acquisitions were particularly welcome in this respect: virtualization vendor Qumranet in September 2008 and system integrator Amentra earlier in March of that year. Whitehurst summarizes with, "While Red Hat may be small in comparison to the proprietary giants we challenge, our open source culture promotes the free exchange of ideas and enables us to deliver better software, faster."

it may cause problems with the boys. don't just brush it off after a ride and think it'll go away, or reason that the increased cardio will even out any damage you do.
i'm not saying you need a brooks, or a funky saddle, but you do need to look out for your taint. it's sensitive, and just because the pain goes away, doesn't mean the problem is gone. you could be squishing your urethera, your nerves, your blood vessels, or your prostate all of which are necessary for a healthy sex life. if you put too much pressure on these, strictures could result, and that means problems with the flow fluids. check with your urologist (if you've got one), do some reading, and above all, listen to what your body is telling you.

SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. (AP) — Hundreds of U.S. service members are reporting that their privately owned vehicles have gone missing or been damaged while being shipped to and from overseas bases.
According to the Belleville News-Democrat in Illinois, the military will send teams -- beginning next week -- to find the vehicles at supply chain staging areas across the globe. The move comes after months of complaints.
The survey teams are from U.S. Transportation Command in Illinois which is responsible for air, land and sea transportation for the Pentagon.
The actual shipping of the vehicles is handled by International Auto Logistics, a Georgia-based company that the command chose to take over a $1 billion contract. A legal tussle with the previous contractor resulted in a four-month delay in International Auto Logistics starting work.
A company spokeswoman blames the problems on the large number of vehicles the company has been asked to move in a short time period since finally starting work in May.

AIG to U.S.: Keep the Change
Insurer Sees Taxpayer Profit In Pending Repayment Deal; Greenberg Weighs In
The board of American International Group AIG -0.52 % Inc. and the company's federal overseers were locked in discussions Wednesday night to finalize a plan that would boost the government's stake in the giant insurer to about 92%, and eventually allow the giant insurer to extricate from U.S. ownership.
AIG Chairman Robert "Steve" Miller, at a conference in New York on Wednesday morning, said that U.S. government could end up earning a profit on its investment in AIG. More than $120 billion in taxpayer aid committed to the bailout of the insurer currently remains outstanding.
AIG officials are hoping that providing clarity on the plan will enable the company to raise money from the financial markets on its own again in six to 12 months, Mr. Miller said.
The exit plan principally addresses the government's $49 billion investment in AIG from Treasury's Troubled Asset Relief Program, which was set up two years ago to provide capital infusions to institutions during the financial crisis. Treasury plans to convert all the preferred shares it holds into AIG common shares, which would raise the government's stake in AIG to around 92% from 79.8% currently, according to people familiar with the matter. Treasury would then sell the shares over time to exit the investment.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is separately trying to recoup $19.7 billion in secured debt from AIG and $26 billion from sales of the company's two largest overseas life insurance businesses.
- Plan Would Pare U.S. Stake in AIG 9/29/2010
- AIG Refines Its Risk Approach 9/15/10
- AIG Plots End to U.S. Aid 9/13/10
- Heard: Where Are the AIG Dividends? 09/13/10

- PM Report: The Benefits of Bailout Probes (03/12/10)
- AM Report: AIG's $35.5 Billion Sale (03/01/10)
- News Hub: Can Another Bailout Save AIG? (02/26/10)
Determining the price at which to exchange Treasury's preferred shares for AIG common shares has been a sticking point in strategy discussions, people familiar with the matter say.
Converting at a discounted price could position taxpayers to reap a profit, but it also could put pressure on the stock price, making it harder for the government to sell its shares. Converting at a higher price—such as one above the current market price for AIG shares—would result in the government taking a slightly smaller stake in AIG and would potentially generate profits for private shareholders at the expense of U.S. taxpayers.
Treasury officials, including chief restructuring officer James Millstein, have told company officials they don't want to set a price that would create a bonanza for hedge funds or other private investors including former chief executive Maurice R. "Hank" Greenberg, according to people familiar with the matter.
"I think that's disgraceful to say they don't want me or shareholders to make money," said Mr. Greenberg, AIG's longtime leader who left in 2005 amid an accounting probe.
Mr. Greenberg remains one of the company's private shareholders and most-vocal critics of AIG's government bailout.
He also challenged the view, held by some federal officials, that it will take around a year and a half for the U.S. government to completely dispose of its stake.
"I think it's going to take years, maybe a decade or more, for [the government] to sell down over 90% of the company," Mr. Greenberg said in an interview.
"As soon as they try to sell the stock it will go down," making further sales more difficult, he predicted on Wednesday.
Analysts acknowledged Treasury's dilemma.
"They don't want to damage the stock yet again, as that could hurt the company's value and introduce additional uncertainty, but they also cannot look like they are protecting private shareholders," says Angelo Graci, an analyst at Chapdelaine Credit Partners in New York. He says that many steps that AIG and the government have taken in the past two years have been aimed at improving AIG's value in the eyes of investors, to facilitate future sales of the government's shares.
On Wednesday, AIG shares closed up 13 cents to $37.45 a share.
Behind AIG and government officials' optimism is what they see as an improving outlook for the insurance businesses that will form the core of the company after it completes sales of its major overseas life-insurance units and non-core assets in the coming months.
AIG and Prudential Financial Inc. PRU -1.53 % are expected to announce as soon as Thursday a sale to Prudential of two Japanese life-insurance units for a combined $4.8 billion, according to a person familiar with the deal.
AIG is holding on to a global property- and casualty-insurance business and a U.S. life-insurance and retirement-services business, both of which were hit hard by customer and employee defections in the wake of the bailout two years ago, but have since stabilized in some part.
The government's ability to sell its AIG shares in the future will depend on how a large number of outside investors view AIG's value as a smaller insurance company, and their willingness to invest in an entity that will be majority owned and controlled by the government for some time.
The company currently has a relatively small shareholder base which holds just $5 billion worth of shares, and few equity analysts have been covering AIG since its 2008 government bailout.
AIG and its representatives also need to convince major credit-rating firms that the company can achieve a strong rating on its own without government support.
Over the past month, AIG's publicly traded shares have traded at an average price of around $35. The compromise AIG and the government appear to have struck would involve giving private shareholders securities known as warrants that would help them realize value in the future when Treasury is repaid.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Helmets in stock than that.View Similar Products
One Industries Gamma Raven Helmet $0.00
The One Industries Gamma Raven Helmet is all about moto-rated, lightweight head protection. You probably know that plenty of riders refuse to do gravity-fueled runs with anything less than a DOT approved moto helmet, which makes sense, since they're certified for high speed impacts. Which means that if you hit the deck, your head stands the best possible chance of being unscathed.
DOT certification exceeds the safety standards set forth for cycling helmets, and the Gamma passes those standards with room to spare. But its protection doesn't mean much if you strain your neck railing a berm with the helmet on. That's why One used a pre-preg fiberglass shell, which is not only strong, but lightweight. The shell is paired with a dual density EPS liner adding even more ability to slow impact forces.
Large flow-through ventilation ports help to keep your head from overheating. Admittedly, it's not as heavily vented as some bicycle-specific offerings, but there's a strong case to be made that the added protection more than makes up for it. And the removable head liner is easily washable, so any extra sweat you do expel won't lead to a prematurely funky helmet.
The One Industries Gamma Raven Helmet is available in six sizes, from X-Small, to XX-Large, and in the color White/orange.

Just wondering if anyone here does the Norfolk, VA fixed gear ride. Yesterday was my first time, and it was pretty great.
It's sundays at 7, meeting at the Taphouse and then riding around causing trouble. I guess the guys from Conte's organize it (any of you post here?)
Last week was lots of fun and ridiculousness, but it would have been a lot more fun with more than 4 people. COME RIDE THE BIKES!!!
That's all.

UK on triple-dip recession alert after industrial slowdown.
Japan Sinks Into Technical Recession as Demand Slows
Oh, the humanity and all the spammers screaming around here. They are hurting my ears!!!
My kingdom for an election somewhere to soak up their spam.
Japan's economy sank into recession in the second and third quarters, fueling opposition leader Shinzo Abe's calls for more stimulus and highlighting the risk that weak growth will derail a planned sales-tax rise.
For the U.S., the economy is recessionary despite all of the extraordinary efforts by the Fed over the past four years. In that sense, one might argue that, as far as the economy is concerned, the Fed's actions have become increasingly ineffective. The plunge in the velocity of money to record lows tells us that the Fed is pushing on a string – so no matter what they do there will only be limited traction. Basically, the recession has to run its course.
Unemployment in CHINA going UP

Intel message board on pakaushit Spam alert.
Famous economic analyst Marc Faber says people need to prepare for a global recession, probably hitting early 2013. It is "100 percent" certain, he said in a recent interview. There is a "meaningful slowdown in India and China" that many investors are missing due to all the focus on Greece and Spain. But it will be global, he said.

ROME (AP) — The 2008 Olympic race walk champion who was expelled from the London Games for doping broke down in tears Wednesday while discussing how he hid the banned substance in the home he shared with star figure skater Carolina Kostner.
Alex Schwazer said Wednesday he bought the blood booster EPO in Turkey and kept it in a box of vitamins in a refrigerator.
Schwazer had hoped to replicate his feat in the 50-kilometer event in London but was tossed from the games Monday after testing positive.
At a news conference in Bolzano in northern Italy, Schwazer wept and at one point buried his face in his hands. He says he learned how to use EPO through the Internet.
He denied getting the performance-enforcer from Michele Ferrari, the Italian doctor who in 2002 was banned by the Italian Cycling Federation and who also was a consulting physician for cycling champion Lance Armstrong.

Nice work
pretty epic. not enough good sci-fi books out there
Glad its coming out. Been waiting! Good job!
Very nice work! I understand what the image is supposed to be but on the other hand it kind looks like a rockman "dipping" a rockwoman and is about to kiss her.
Thanks! Yeah, I know what you mean... I started seeing all sorts of things in there too while working on it late at night.
Seriously Ken, I am so excited to see this come out. Thanks for all the hard work you've put in. Did your Monkey Brain book already come out?
Thanks Hansel! The 32 page thing is what killed me on this series... live and learn.
The Monkeybrain series is still going forward. I think Joe is currently scripting it.

Pastor Tom Brock blamed twister on gays. Turns out, yep, he's gay
Top 5: Homophobes Who Turned Out To Be Gay
UPDATE: Outed pastor will keep job he says gays shouldn't have
Remember when a tornado struck downtown Minneapolis last year and broke the cross atop a downtown church?
Minneapolis Pastor Tom Brock made a whole bunch of waves by suggesting that the twister was God's retribution for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America voting at its national convention in Minneapolis that day to take up -- and pass -- a resolution that allows for openly gay clergy to serve as ministers.
"The apostasy is now complete" in the ELCA, he told conservative Christian radio host David Wheaton not long afterward.
So we assume he's going to step down. Because he's gay, it turns out. Lavender outed him in its most recent issue.
Here's what Brock told Wheaton:
"At 2 o'clock Wednesday was when the sex statement was scheduled to be voted on. And 2 o'clock Wednesday was when the convention center was hit by a tornado that tore off part of the roof.
"Across the street is Central Lutheran Church. Very liberal.church. The cross was torn down from its steeple, and the tents that were set up at Central Lutheran to serve beer -- to serve beer -- to the people attending the convention, were also torn up.
"And John Piper [of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis] prophetically said of course ... his point was this was a gentle rebuke from God that they should not go ahead and do this.
"But just to let you know how blind people are, you know what the leaders of Good Soil said? -- that's the pro-gay group. Someone asked their leader if it was a sign from the Holy Spirit that a great wind arose when the question of the social statement was taken up. And he replied, yes, it could have been just as much of as a sign as when the sun came out when the social statement passed. Talk about missing the point.
"And do you know what percentage, David, by which this sex statement passed?"
"By one vote, wasn't it?" Wheaton replied.
"One vote, 66.6 percent," Brock said.
The mark of the Beast!
Brock and Wheaton evidently had the inside line of which weather report truly represented God's will. You can hear them in full here. The God-inspired twister talk comes in at about 21 minutes, once you get past the scorning of women clergy.
The Lavender expose on Brock's gayness is here. And MinnPost's look at the ethics of outing Brock can be found here.
You may also recall that Rev. Piper, quoted approvingly above by Brock, announced earlier this year that he was taking a leave of absence due to failures of character.
"I see several species of pride in my soul" he said in a sermon. "I am not making peace, but war, on my own sins." His focus, he said, will be on nurturing his relationship with is wife and children.

I was delighted that Stephen Hester finally agreed to forego part of his RBS bonus, albeit that it took him some time to do so, and I salute Sir Philip Hampton, the RBS chairman, for providing leadership on this issue. My delight was for two reasons, namely:
1. As readers may have noted, I am an avid believer that private investors will (by harnessing, inter alia, the internet) be able to bring about change which will improve the functioning of the UK's capital markets from the standpoint of being a wealth preserver in real terms and, ideally, a wealth creator. An important element in this process is preventing employees from diverting to themselves remuneration which is excessive in relation to the rewards enjoyed by investors. In this instance, public opinion has done the trick.
2. Many column inches in recent weeks have been devoted to commenting on politicians' threats to introduce regulation to control excessive pay. I am completely against regulation as a means of dealing with this issue (as well as many other issues) because it invariably both adds to the cost of doing business and also suffers from the law of unintended consequences. A far better solution is for investors to behave like long term owners.
By complete contrast, I laud the way in which Software Radio Technology (an emerging Mittelstand company) is setting about communicating with private investors - click here to see the joining instructions for the company's webcast on 1st February. This is a great example of how digital technology can be deployed to both improve and also lower the cost of investor communication.

Given that Hester has dramatically reduced the risk in RBS's balance sheet, slashed the bank's funding needs, cut the overhead repeatedly and restored the bank to profit, just what level of reward do you consider NOT to be excessive in relation to the £45 BILLION of our money that the last Labour Government invested in RBS on our behalf?

I agree that success in the herculean task of cleaning up the RBS Augean stable deserves a very substantial reward. However, I don't think that an incentivisation package based on annual bonuses is the way to approach incentivisation in view of the timescale of the task involved - the package needs to recognise a) this timescale, b) the position which shareholders want to achieve, and c) the CEO's confidence in his ability to deliver b) and his intention to do so. Its all about thinking with the mindset of owners rather than mindlessly following established remuneration practises, particularly when there is widespread evidence of the latter failing to benefit investors.

In reply to ohinerau, post #2
That is a mischaracterisation of the package. AIUI there is a) Annual salary/comp b) Annual bonus and c) Long Term Incentive Plan. The LTIP addresses the long-term nature of the task of refloating RBS; the bit that the furore has been about is an annual bonus reflecting Hester's achievement of many of his specific business management targets for 2011. The annual bonus focuses the recipient on continuing to achieve milestones every single year - rather than merely on the vaguer long-term aim. In other words, the annual targets should be viewed as essential stepping stones towards achievement of the longer-term objectives....which is why, IMO, it is unwise to mess with them.

What a farce this hounding of Stephen Hester to decline his bonus is. The remuneration framework was put in place in consultation with UKFI and other institutional shareholders! I sympathaise with Hester who accepted a bl00dy difficult job to stabilise the bank following the mess Goodwin left it in, with a remuneration package agreed up front (as we all do when going for a new job). Hester delivered and was due his bonus this year, and bit-part of his rolling LTIP award (yet to be determined, or accepted).
