Last Exit to Brooklyn (1964)
by Hubert Selby, Jr.
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This book is brutal. None of the characters are redeemable and it's so heavy handed with their development that I am only able to believe that Selby was being masochistic rather than artistic in his representation.
In comparison, Graham Greene's book, Brighton Beach, has some horrible characters, but it's done more artfully.
I enjoyed Last Exit to Brooklyn. It wasn't what I had expected, but I don't mind. I like how Hubert Selby writes, it took sometime getting use to, (again, it's been awhile since I've read him) but I caught on really fast. The stories are very intriguing and they don't really relate to each other but some of the characters are used in several and will mention something in a different plot in a different chapter. I didn't expect it to be short stories, it was surprisingly good because you still get a strong connection with the characters in a shorter span than a regular length book. The stories focus on the struggles and dreams of people in Brooklyn. They are not you're everyday characters, many you would expect to dislike, but you feel their pain, understand them and want to see revenge to people who wrong them. It's an exciting book because the characters are so different. 3.5/5
A complete powerhouse which knocked me over and just would not let me get back up. Such a beautiful, memorable and harrowing book.
Beautiful and horrifying.
Somehow I had never read Last Exit and it seemed time to do so. And Im glad I did but its hard to judge it so far removed from its original context. You can see why it shocked at the time it was written - but that power to shock has of course diminished with time and I'm left with mixed feelings as to whether or not the book is actually any good. One thing is certain - that the voices Selby speaks with are genuine - at least mostly so - but some of the characters are more successful than others.
The transvestite Georgette - and indeed all of the various transvestites that appear in the book - are very truthfully realised and the authenticity of some of these rarely heard, at the time, voices is one of the most powerful aspects of the book. The other is the disaffected union leader Harry, drawn like a moth to the flame of the transvestite Regina, to his eventual ruin - although the manner of his ultimate demise seemingly comes out of nowhere and seems out of character for him
The section featuring the teenage hooker Tralala is perhaps the most famous in the book, but for me its probably the least convincing. In his introduction Irvine Welsh describes Tralala as rejecting the love of a good man because she doesn't feel worthy of it. This is a good narrative - and I seem to remember the film starring Jennifer Jason Leigh took a similar angle - but I couldn't find anything in the book to support it. Tralala is disappointed that 4 days with her sailor ends with him offering a love letter rather than cash, and goes downhill from that point with the speed of a runaway locomotive. But why she does so is unclear. Why she lets her guard and her standards slip to such a point that the famous gang rape scene is simply a logical conclusion of her downward spiral, was to me anyway, unclear. I accept that she misses her chance of salvation - but rather than rejecting that salvation it seemed to me that she simply didn't notice it go by.
Another unsuccessful part of the book was, for me, the "coda" describing a day in the life of various characters in the projects. Here Selby shows that he is much more at home with white working class Irish American or Italian American voices. His African American character, Abe, is a cartoon stereotype that suggests not much interaction with real African Americans. In fact for a whole range of reasons the "coda" is an unsatisfactory way for the book to finish - much better to leave Harry broken on the sidewalk with his shattered dreams
In all a book well worth reading but more for historical context than enlightenment about today
Scorching, unrelenting, pulsing.
As dramatic and immediate as the click of a switchblade knife.
Selby has an unerring instinct for honing our collapse into novels as glittering and as cutting as pure, black, jagged glass.
Drops like a sledgehammer. Emotionally beaten, one leaves it a different person—slightly changed, educated by pain, as Goethe said.

Last Exit to Brooklyn remains undiminished in its awesome power and magnitude as the novel that first showed us the fierce, primal rage seething in America's cities. Selby brings out the dope addicts, hoodlums, prostitutes, workers, and thieves brawling in the back alleys of Brooklyn. This explosive best-seller has come to be regarded as a classic of modern American writing.

Banshee 1.6 Integrates with Ubuntu One Music Store
Access and purchase music from within the media player.
Banshee 1.6 proves to be a stable release after the numerous developer releases in the 1.5.x series. In addition to the U1MS plugin created by Jo Shields, the new Banshee includes numerous improvements over 1.4. Among them is a DJ tool called a Play Queue that randomly plays music by artist, album, song rating or score mode. The new Banshee also has an import filter for MP3 songs purchased from eMusic.
Banshee 1.6 supports a number of new devices, among them HTC's Nexus One, Nokia's N900 and the Palm Pre. The Banshee download archives page includes the full list of enhancements.
Ubuntu One Music Store for all?
The Banshee player, programmed in Mono, was originally developed by Novell. However, Novell and the other distros aren't likely to have any interest in delivering the U1MS plugin with the Banshee version, because cloud support is required to access Ubuntu One.
The newest openSUSE version of Banshee doesn't include the U1MS plugin, but the Banshee community extensions (that include the plugin) in the libubuntuone libraries can be compiled into other distros. In a short test, it was relatively easy to install the plugin into openSUSE 11.3. Not unexpectedly, the compiled version of Banshee crashed almost immediately after activating the plugin.

Thirty years ago, my grandmother gave my brother a handmade storage bag for his heaping pile of Lego® pieces. Years later, when my own son got knee-deep into Lego®, my mom remembered that bag and made a similar one for my boys. Friends would come over to our house and say, "WOW! Where did you get that bag? What a FANTASTIC way to contain the crazy Lego® mess!" The idea of Swoop Bags was born. (You can read the full story on our BLOG)
Today, I give you SWOOP BAGS – a re-imagined, modern version of the original bag my grandmother made. As a graphic designer who loves and breathes modern design and the busy mother of two Lego-loving kids, I sought out to create a bag that was contemporary in style, simple to use, and very well made. Our large Swoop Bags not only make cleanup time a breeze, they also double as a circular play mat when opened up and spread out on the floor. Our second product, the Swoop Mini, is a portable, travel-size version – perfect for kids and families on the go. Who said you couldn't take your favorite Lego pieces to the beach?
Swoop Bags are durable and designed to last using the highest quality 100% cotton canvas and durable nylon cording. We have bold, bright, fun colors to choose from and our bags are stylish enough to stash in any room of the house. Locally made in Seattle, too.
"Just SWOOP it up!"

Also the entire plan hinges on factors completely out of the crew's control. They had to fake Kirk's death on the Romulan flagship—but what if the commander had never invited the two of them over? For that matter, what if this major interstellar empire with space ships and such actually had, I dunno, surveillance in their cells, and they heard Kirk telling McCoy what the real plan was? What if—and McCoy actually brought this up in the episode—the Romulans decided to do an autopsy on the only-mostly-dead-not-all-dead Kirk? Chapel is aware that there's no such thing as the Vulcan death grip, so why isn't the commander also aware, especially since she seems to know so much about her "distant brothers," the Vulcans? What if they'd actually taken Spock's communicator away from him while he was on board the flagship?

The bad one is that lost in all the hugger-mugger of racist stereotyping and bad acting (not just Shatner's doofy-ass voiceovers and screaming "I AM KIROK!!!!" but also the embarrassingly bad performance of Rudy Solari, who keeps looking at indeterminate spots over the shoulder of the person he's talking to and who is a two-bag actor—he needs the second bag in case he accidentally acts his way out of the first) is the fact that the script is actually dumber than a box of hammers.

They get Gordon's door open via plastic explosive, which Robin keeps in his utility belt. (Yes, Batman leaves military grade explosives in the hands of a minor. What could possibly go wrong?)

It's especially frustrating, because there's the potential for an interesting story here, and it's one that I think France Nuyen would have been able to pull off. We've got a woman who, on the one hand, is the ruler of her world and accustomed to being obeyed by everyone to whom she speaks—yet she is being forced into a marriage against her will. She sees in Kirk a way out, and so she uses her Magic Tears Of Doom to bend him to her will the same way she's been bending men to her will all her life—but then it doesn't work, because his sense of duty is greater than her chemically induced infatuation. She could have been a magnificently tragic figure; she could've been a complex character.Instead, she's a caricature, a "mass of conflicting impulses" like all women, just a spoiled brat who should be spanked, whose sole purpose is to annoy the men around her. At least, that is, until she finds the love of a good man—and there's no better man than Jim Kirk, ain't that right, ladies? (Cue wink at the camera.)

Batman has toyed with political satire twice before, once at the end of "Batman Sets the Pace" when they poked fun at the 1966 California gubernatorial election, and again in the movie with the digs at world politics and military bureaucracy. But this is the first time they've embraced it so wholeheartedly, and it's an absolute delight, quite possibly the show's finest hour, though I freely admit that I'm slightly biased toward it because (a) I'm an election junkie, and (b) I'm rewatching it the same week that Donald Trump (who is pretty close to a real-life super-villain) became the last man standing in the Republican primary race.

Thiruvananthapuram, May 19 (IANS) Salim Kumar, who was named for the best actor National Award Thursday for Malayalam film 'Adaminde Makan Abu', expressed his joy at the honour but lamented that the film has not even been released in Kerala.
'Believe me, I was very sad when this film never got attention even in any local film awards. And obviously, when I got the best actor award in the country, you can imagine my happiness,' Salim told reporters here.
The film, which has not been released in Kerala and has not won recognition in the home state, also bagged the best film, best cinematography and best music director awards at the 58th National Film Awards.
For Salim, known for his spoofs and slapstick comedy in films, it's a first in a serious role.
The actor plays an old vendor who roams the streets of Malabar selling yunani medicines and 'itr' (perfume) to earn enough money to perform the Haj.
'Please understand that both me and the director (Salim Ahamed) are more into doing comedy films. The director is a popular writer of comedy scripts and see what we have achieved. This film which has won laurels is a lot different from the usual Malayalam films,' added Salim.
Produced under the banner of Alan Media, the film also stars yesteryears Bollywood heroine Zarina Wahab and popular Malayalam actors Mukesh, Kalabhavan Mani, Suraj Venjaramood, Nedumudu Venu, Mala Aravindan and Thampi Antony.
Salim, 42, started his career as a mimicry artiste and has acted in more than 125 films.
Among his most popular films are 'Kilichundan Mampazham', 'Thilakkam' and his latest release 'Christian Brothers' and 'Makeup Man'.
'I am greatly indebted to film personalities like Siddiq Shamir, Nadir Shah, director Kamal and Lal Jose who cast me for the first time. My happiness is something that just can't be explained,' said Salim.
'Adaminde Makan Abu' director Salim Ahamed said: 'I knew the potential that Salim has and my decision to cast him has proved absolutely right. I am also happy with this national recognition.'
The 58th National Film Awards were announced in Delhi Thursday.

Hi there!
I'm programming in C++ - Win32 exe application environment.
My exe makes use of OpenGL and glew, so it needs glew32.dll to be in System folder or in the same directory of my exe.
What if i want to publish my exe without that additional DLL?
Is there a way to include the DLL inside the EXE?

Well, technically yes, you could embed the DLL inside the EXE, but the EXE wouldn't be able to use it directly, and it would have to copy the embedded DLL and save it out to a file so that it could make use of it. I'm not sure why you'd want to do this though... I'd just include the DLL with the EXE.

"Zierikzee, a small city with monumental value" Zierikzee by Luchonda
Zierikzee Travel Guide: 15 reviews and 84 photos
Zierikzee is a small city, located on the former island of Duiveland in the Dutch province of Zeeland. It is a part of the municipality of Schouwen-Duiveland, and lies about 26 km southwest of Hellevoetsluis and 60 km from Vlissingen.
Zierikzee has a few of Dutch monumental landmarks, like the two mills, still active - "Den Haas - De Hoop"
The facade of the maritime museum, the narrow streets and cute houses gave me a first impression and made my day, although the time was limited, the town is encharming - but i will go back
The land of water, canals and boating. Very interesting place to visit after a day of sailing in Bruinisse
After diner in Brasserie Maritime, i took the opportunity to picture the mill, by night

A mixed breed dog is just what it sounds like - a mix of one or more different types of breeds. For the most part, the history of a mixed breed dog's ancestry is not known, but guesses can be made for the parent breeds based on the dog's appearance. Tracing a mixed breed's family tree back any farther than that is a difficult to impossible task.
A small-sized mixed breed dog weighs less than 20 pounds. Because dogs inherit characteristics from either or both parents, and in the case of a mixed breed dog the parents may be unknown, it is difficult to predict their temperament. Most small breed dogs tend to be gentle, kind and happy and incorporate into most households well, so it is probably fair to say that a small mixed breed dog will generally do the same.
Due in part to their "hybrid vigor," mixed breed dogs tend to be less prone to as many genetic diseases as their full breed cousins, but they can still develop hereditary and congenital conditions, including knee problems such as patellar luxation, leg problems such as Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, liver issues such as portosystemic shunts, respiratory problems such as tracheal collapse and spine diseases such as intervertebral disc disease.
Thankfully, Petplan pet insurance covers all hereditary and chronic conditions as standard. Which means if your small mixed breed inherits a combination of trouble from his parents, you're covered.

Chronic renal failure is known to be associated with secondary hyperoxalemia and the deposition of calcium oxalate in visceral organs, bones, and cartilage. We report the identification of calcium oxalate crystals in the synovial fluid of three patients with chronic renal failure. In one patient, calcium oxalate crystals were also identified within synovium and cartilage. Crystals were pleomorphic and bipyramidal. Some crystals were rod-like and had positive birefringence, thus tending to be confused with calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate when observed with only compensated polarized light microscopy. In one patient asymptomatic effusions were associated with joint capsule calcification, but otherwise normal knee radiographs. The other two patients had bilateral knee pain, one having coexistent features of osteoarthritis and the other Chondrocalcinosis. Samples of proliferative synovium, joint capsule, and cartilage from the patient with Chondrocalcinosis showed abundant calcium oxalate crystals, and not calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate or calcium hydroxyapatite. Thus, radiographically typical Chondrocalcinosis may be due to calcium oxalate. Joint disease in chronic renal failure may be associated with calcium oxalate as well as the previously recognized apatite deposition.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Linda E This is the worst food that we have ever eaten anywhere. As it was a take out order we had to throw it all away. Rice was old, beans were old and the meat was thin,tough and of low quality. Oct 15, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Susan B Food and service was good, quick and courteous. I've been here 3 times now and it is consistent. I do not care for the salsa though, it is too watery, more of a watery pico de gallo than salsa. Oct 8, 2014
