I haven't been posting much cause I just don't like the Active site. So, I'm ready to saddle the horses and move out to greener pastures. And wherever we land, be it Kickrunning or Runningahead or whatever, I just want to see the old CRMS gang stay together as much as possible.
You know, if we went to Runningahead, maybe they could open up a Multisport forum for us. Then we could be the Running Ahead Multisporters, or "R.A.M.S." We were looking for something to call ourselves weren't we?
...ok, nevermind, that's kinda silly.

You're a forum hoar. Every place I check out is littered with your posts. I'm not like that. I'm looking for one place I can call my own and share with my friends.
Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? **** no! And it ain't over now. 'Cause when the goin' gets tough... ...the tough get goin'! Who's with me?
Me. I'm with you. And Mr. Bannon. Because you guys talk sense. Everybody at Active.com is probably on vacation, much like my company and probably yours, so there's only a skeleton crew fixing and patching and trying to make do. That plus the fact that Bannon brings up some awesome points about the other two sites. Me personally, i'd much rather be a part of something rather than my own island. I learned long ago that it is you people who keep me motivated to want more of myself in all aspects of life, not just triathlon, and that's where I will stay, but the fact that Active is a part of much more -- with money to back it and hence keep it going and have more incentive to do so -- then I will stay for a while longer. Regardless, I will look over at Kick every now and then to see what's up. I don't think I have the time to keep up with much more. So with that I will not even try to look further at RA. Not biased, just gotta draw a line.
With that said, please do me a serious favor: If you decide to abort this ship please post here to say that you are gone. There are so many of you that I keep in touch with personally, and there are so many of you who have become such good friends, that I would be sad if all of a sudden you were gone and never to be seen again. Just like Jr did in posting his "Active Blows" thread, please do the same if you choose the same path.
Hey LRR, when did the Germans bomb Pearl Harbor?
And how do you quote the previous message?

As for me, I'm getting anxious to find a comfortable home, but as long as you all are still here, I will put up with my complaints and continue to do my part. On the other hand, if you all really want to go elsewhere, I have no allegience to CR or Active; only, like LRR mentioned, it is convenient and we do get many, many more members coming and going, some who even stay and settle in with us to our little spot on message board heaven, by being a part of such a conglomerate.
Ditto. Perfectly said.

Points for you!
What? Do you have a special timer that dings? Man you're quick!
I haven't been posting much but it's more a matter of timing (Disney Cruise, Stress Fractor, Christmas. I posted on CR so much because of all of you. I finished 70.3 because of all of you, I continue to tri because of all of you. I don't care where we go. I'll just follow!!!!
Why does this all have to be so difficult for Active. I don't know, I just can't handle going into a tone of different forums, I can't seem to keep the names of the players straight here.
BTW, 5 months no running due to calf/achillies problem. I don't know if I should waste my money on signing up for any tri's next year.

I ventured over to kick earlier today and I really do like it. I will probably still check back here from time to time, but so far I'm not impressed and I am impressed by kick - feels more like CR did.
Yay, so here you guys are! It seems things have settled down enough I can find where y'all went now. whew I thought I'd lost y'all (though some of you I am hooked up with on LinkedIn so it's not like you're really lost).
I can't wait to change my the stupid username they gave me.
LRR, Thor, et. al. I'll jump wherever you go. I feel like you are my tri community on and off line. This is my first post @ Active so I don't know if I hate it yet. My posting this time of year would be very light anyway. I've been taking it easy, recharging all my batteries and brainstorming how I will approach 2008. I want a different approach that's more longterm than the beatings I give myself from Jan-Aug every year. I need sustainability.
Anyway, keep me in the loop where you go -- either here or email.
Thor: congrats on your race in FL. Hopefully I can find your RR somewhere.
Doug (aka Dougie Fresh)
Well, for the moment, I am in both Kick and here, though admittedly, I like Kick more .... and yes, it feels like our old CR home ... Wow, I only had to login twice to get this post up!
I'm catching up after a long day at work, so I may be too late to the party for this to be relevant... but just in case...
The backstory I heard about Kick was that Cool Running evolved out of the original Kick site... but that some core folks broke off with Kickrunners.com. I think it's been around a long time. They had a big influx last August when this whole mess started. And then had a huge influx this past couple of weeks and that's what necessitated the new server.
I hear the "how long will they be around" concerns, but I'd almost feel better to be at the mercy of a smaller group of folks (or even the one guy at RA) who really care about providing a great services, as opposed to the more strictly profit-based motives of a huge company like Active.
Plus, if we keep afloat, we could always have a way to find each other and regroup.
Personally, I found Cool Running via a google search when I was looking for an answer to a running related question. I don't think it would take long for the same kind of searches to send people to wherever we land. I suppose some folks might stumble into the forums from the other services, but that wasn't my personal experience.
Most people I know who talk about Active (in a non-forum related way) really seem to... well, despise Acitive. Personally, my experience using Active to register for races has been fine, but others have felt ripped off when they had to deal with Active. I suppose the animosity could mean they just hate big corporations, or they could have more specific complaints. Either way, I don't think we can bank on being associated with a big name being a given draw for newbies. Sometimes the association can be negative.
If the switch hasn't already been made, maybe everyone could try out the Kick and RA and we could get a consensus. It's definitely nice that Kick made a home for us. Though I know there are a lot of good things about RA, too.
I LOVE JR's new "Kick Fred" screen name.... though I'm not sure if it's a username or a request.
ACTIVE is the leader in online event registrations from 5k running races and marathons to softball leagues and local events. ACTIVE also makes it easy to learn and prepare for all the things you love to do with expert resources, training plans and fitness calculators.

All Rise...
Judge Patrick Naugle spends many of his days in nothing but a loin cloth.
Editor's Note
Our review of The Blue Lagoon / Return To The Blue Lagoon, published March 18th, 2005, is also available.
The Charge
Love, tropical style.
The Case
During the Victorian age, young cousins Richard and Emmeline (played by child actors Elva Josephson and Glenn Kohan) are traveling on the open sea with Richard's father (William Daniels, Boy Meets World) when the ship suddenly catches fire and sinks. In the commotion, Richard and Emmeline end up on a small life boat with the ship's sloppy cook, Paddy (Leo McKern, Ladyhawke), the three washing up on a remote desert island where they must learn to adapt to a simpler way of life. Paddy teaches the children how to cook, build a house, tie knots, and make it on their own, before he gets drunk on a barrel or rum, takes a swim, and kills himself. The children apparently find enough food and shelter to survive, growing into Brooke Shields (Brenda Starr) and Christopher Atkins (The Pirate Movie). Now in their adolescent years, Richard and Emmeline discover budding sexualities, and confusion turns to love as they discover it's pretty easy to bump uglies in the moonlight. Will these two lovers be able to handle their passion? Will they ever get off the island? Can you catch herpes in the sand?
The Blue Lagoon is essentially mainstream soft-core porn. Under the guise of an artful romance, this a movie about two kids stranded on an island who grow up, argue, discover they have tingling sensations in new and strange places, then start humping each other's brains out (don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger). Visually, the film is striking. Spanish cinematographer Néstor Almendros (Kramer vs. Kramer) composes the island with stunning beauty and clarity, making the movie worth a viewing just for its awesome visuals. The land and seascapes are picturesque, when not bookended by Brooke Shields and Christopher Atkins "getting jiggy with it". I imagine the film was intended to be a dramatic, life affirming rumination on sexual awakening. Instead it comes off as a sort of creepy, disturbingly erotic tale of two kids learning what their 'ding-dongs' and 'va-jay-jays' were made for.
The acting talent on display here is not only laughable but quite possibly illegal. Maybe it's just me, but isn't having a 17-year old show his genitals on screen considered child pornography? I know Brooke Shields had a body double for her scenes, but still—the idea that we're supposed to be seeing a 14-year old's breasts makes me feel like I need to bath in the holy light of a Disney movie. In any case, Shields reads her lines as if a prop guy is holding the script just a few feet out of frame. The most impressive feat she pulls off in this film is keeping her long locks strategically covering her breasts. Christopher Atkins, God bless his heart and jangling dingle-berries, gives Richard so many mood swings he comes off as a bi-polar adult film star. This whiny brat is prone to fits of anger and screaming, like he's channeling Elton John's personality circa 1978.
Twilight Time presents this Columbia Tristar release in 1.85:1/1080p high definition widescreen and the picture quality is gorgeous. While the transfer has its fair amount of film grain, it feels natural and never obtrusive. The colors pop and the black levels are solidly rendered. The DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio track provides some very nice moments, including lapping waves and squawking parrots coming through both the front and rear speakers. This isn't an overly aggressive mix, but it works very well for the film and composer Basil Poledouris' lush score.
Bonus features include Poledouris' isolated score, two commentaries—one by director Randal Kleiser, screenwriter Douglas Day Stewart, and Brooke Shields; a second by Kleiser and actor Christopher Atkins—a vintage making of featurette ("An Adventure in Filmmaking: The Making of The Blue Lagoon"), a theatrical trailer, and three teaser trailers.
Note: This Blu-ray has been issued to a limited run of only 3,000 copies by Twilight Time. Visit ScreenArchives.com for more details.
The Blue Lagoon is one of those films where writing a review seems pointless. There's hardly any story to be found, and what plot/subplots there are get short changed (there are natives on the other side of the island, but the film hardly utilizes them until the very end) or just dead ended (two words: the baby). In the end, we're left with beautiful scenery, wooden acting, a plot thinner than tissue paper, and people continually making love on the beach. Add a couple of strawberry daiquiris and a breakfast buffet and you've got yourself the sexiest all-inclusive travelogue ever.
The Verdict
Guilty. This one sinks far more than it swims.

"Enter Sandman" is a song by American heavy metal band Metallica. It was released as the first single from their eponymous fifth album, Metallica in 1991. The music was written by Kirk Hammett, James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. Vocalist and rhythm guitarist Hetfield wrote the lyrics, which deal with the concept of a child's nightmares.
The single achieved platinum certification for more than 1,000,000 copies shipped in the United States, spurring sales of over 30 million copies for Metallica and propelling Metallica to worldwide popularity. Acclaimed by critics, the song is featured in all of Metallica's live albums and DVDs released after 1991 and has been played live at award ceremonies and benefit concerts.
It is among Metallica's most-played songs, having been performed live by the band 1,133 times, behind only "For Whom the Bell Tolls" (1,278), "One" (1,297), "Seek & Destroy" (1,369), "Creeping Death" (1,389) and "Master of Puppets" (1,439)—all songs that were released before "Enter Sandman".[1]
Writing and recording[edit]
"Enter Sandman" was the first song Metallica had written for their 1991 eponymous album, Metallica.[2] Metallica's songwriting at that time was done mainly by rhythm guitarist James Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich, after they gathered tapes of song ideas and concepts from the other members of the band, lead guitarist Kirk Hammett and bassist Jason Newsted. Ulrich's house in Berkeley, California was used for this purpose.[2] "Enter Sandman" evolved from a guitar riff that Hammett wrote.[2] Originally, the riff was two bars in length, but Ulrich suggested the first bar be played three times.[2] The instrumental parts of the song were quickly finished,[3] but Hetfield did not come up with vocal melodies and lyrics for a long time. The song was among the album's last to have lyrics,[2] and the lyrics featured in the song are not the original; Hetfield felt that "Enter Sandman" sounded "catchy and kind of commercial" and so to counterbalance the sound, he wrote lyrics about "destroy[ing] the perfect family; a huge horrible secret in a family" that included references to crib death.[4][5] For the first time in Metallica's history, however, Ulrich and producer Bob Rock told Hetfield that they felt he could write better lyrics.[4] Nevertheless, according to Ulrich, the song was the "foundation, the guide to the whole record" even before it had lyrics.
An instrumental demo was recorded on August 13, 1990. The album Metallica was mostly recorded in Los Angeles at One on One Studios, between October 6, 1990 and June 16, 1991, although Ulrich, Hetfield, and Rock also recorded for a week in Vancouver, Canada between April and May 1991. As the first to be produced by Bob Rock, it was recorded differently than previous Metallica albums; Rock suggested that the band members record in the studio while playing together, rather than separately.[6]
"Enter Sandman" had what Hetfield described as a "wall of guitars"— three rhythm guitar tracks of the same riff played by himself to create a "wall of sound".[3] According to engineer Randy Staub, close to 50 takes of the drums were recorded because Ulrich did not record the song in its entirety, but rather recorded each section of the song separately.[7] Because it was difficult to get in one take the "intensity" that the band wanted, numerous takes were selected and edited together.[6] Staub mentioned that the producing team spent much time in getting the best sound from each part of the room and used several combinations of 40 to 50 microphones in recording the drums and guitars to simulate the sound of a live concert.[7] The bass guitar sound also gained importance with Rock; as Newsted states, Metallica's sound was previously "very guitar-oriented" and that "when he [Rock] came into the picture, bass frequencies also came into the picture."[8] As the first single, "Enter Sandman" was also the first song to be mixed,[6] a task that took roughly ten days because the band and Bob Rock had to create the sound for the entire album while mixing the song.[6]
The simpler songs in the album Metallica,[2] including "Enter Sandman", are a departure from the band's previous, more musically complex album ...And Justice for All.[9][10] Ulrich described "Enter Sandman" as a "one-riff song", in which all of its sections derive from the main riff credited to Kirk Hammett.[2]
"Enter Sandman" moves at a tempo of 123 beats per minute for 5:32, running slightly above the average song length of the album.[11] It begins with a clean guitar intro similar to the main riff; an E minor chord on a guitar using the wah-wah pedal is then introduced, followed by heavy use of tom-tom drums. Distorted guitars then build up to the main riff, which starts 56 seconds into the song and utilizes variations of the E/B♭ tritone.[12] P. J. Howorth, in The Wah Wah Book, characterized the main riff as "sinister".[13] The song then follows a common structure, playing two iterations of a verse, a pre-chorus, and a chorus. On the chorus and pre-chorus, the song modulates one whole tone, up to F♯,[13] and after the second chorus, Hammett plays a guitar solo with the main, pre-chorus, and chorus riffs in the background. Hammett makes use of the wah-wah pedal and a wide range of scales, including e minor pentatonic, B minor, F♯ minor, E minor, and the E dorian mode.[13] One of the final licks of the solo was inspired by the Heart song "Magic Man" as used in Ice-T's "Personal".[14] Just a few seconds before the solo ends, the breakdown starts, in which the clean drum intro starts, then the clean guitar intro when the last notes of Kirk's solo echo over it into the background, are heard together with Hetfield teaching a child the "Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep" bedtime prayer and reciting a variation of the lullaby rhyme "Hush Little Baby" where he is heard saying "Hush little baby don't say a word, and never mind that noise you heard. It's just the beasts under your bed, in your closet, in your head".[15] After building again to a chorus, the song starts to fade out while the band plays the same riffs as the buildup intro in reverse order.[11] Lyrically, the song is about "nightmares and all that come with them", according to Chris True of Allmusic.[10] The title is a reference to the sandman, a character from Western folklore who makes children sleep.[16]
Release and reception[edit]
Initially, the song "Holier Than Thou" was slated to be the opening track and first single from Metallica;[2] according to the documentary A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica, producer Bob Rock told Ulrich and Hetfield that the album has "five or six songs that are going to be classics", not only with fans but also on the radio, and that "the first song that should come out is 'Holier Than Thou'".[17] According to Rock, Ulrich was the only band member who felt, even before recording, that "Enter Sandman" was the ideal song to be the first single.[6] Ulrich has said that there was a "big argument"; however, after explaining his point of view to the rest of the band,[2] "Enter Sandman" eventually became the opening track and first single of the album.[18][19]
The single was released on July 30, 1991, two weeks before the release of Metallica.[18] The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 in the United States and nine other countries, and sold over 22 million copies worldwide,[18][20] allowing "Enter Sandman" to become, as Chris True describes it, "one of the most recognizable songs of all time in rock".[10] The single peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at No. 5 on the UK Singles Chart. On September 30, 1991, it became Metallica's second single to achieve gold status in the United States, for shipping more than 500,000 copies.[21] In addition to the nominations received by the album as a whole, the song was nominated for Best Rock Song at the 34th Grammy Awards in 1992, ultimately losing to "The Soul Cages" by Sting.[22][23] It was also voted Song of the Year in Metal Edge's 1991 Readers Choice Awards.[24]
"Enter Sandman" was acclaimed by critics. Chris True of Allmusic declared it "one of Metallica's best moments" and a "burst of stadium level metal that, once away from the buildup intro, never lets up".[10] According to him, the song's breakdown "brilliantly utilizes that 'Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep' bedtime prayer in such a way as to add to the scary movie aspect of the song".[10] Steve Huey, in Allmusic review of Metallica, described it as one of the album's best songs, with "crushing, stripped-down grooves".[25] Robert Palmer of Rolling Stone described "Enter Sandman" as "possibly the first metal lullaby" and wrote that the song "tell[s] the tale" of the album's "detail and dynamic, [...] song structures and impact of individual tracks".[26] Sid Smith from the BBC called the song "psycho-dramatic" and noted that the "terse motifs served notice that things were changing" with Metallica's new album.[27] Blender magazine's Tim Grierson says that the lyrics "juxtapose childhood bedtime rituals and nightmarish imagery" and praises the "thick bottom end and propulsive riff".[5]
"Enter Sandman" has received many accolades. Rolling Stone magazine listed it as the 408th song on their "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list,[28] and VH1 placed it 22nd in their list of the "40 Greatest Metal Songs of All Time", 18th in their list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the '90s" and 88th in their 2003 list of "The 100 Greatest Songs from the Past 25 Years".[29][30][31][32] Blender magazine included the song in their "The Greatest Songs Ever!" series of articles and placed it 65th on their list of "The 500 Greatest Songs Since You Were Born".[5][33] Q magazine listed it 81st in their list of "The 100 Songs That Changed The World" and 55th in their list of "The 1001 Best Songs Ever".[32][34] Total Guitar magazine readers chose the song's riff as the fifth greatest ever,[35] while Kerrang! places it fourth on their list of the "100 Greatest Singles of All Time".[32] The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame includes it in their list of the "500 Songs That Shaped Rock".[32] It was also featured in Triple J's "Hottest 100 of All Time".[36] In 2009, it was named the 5th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.[37] In 2010, "Enter Sandman" was included in Kerrang's Top 100, as decided by fans.[citation needed]
Since the song's release, there have been claims that the main riff was taken from the song "Tapping into the Emotional Void" by Excel. "Tapping into the Emotional Void" was released originally on their 1989 album The Joke's on You. In 2003, it was reported that Excel members were considering legal action against Metallica due to the similarities between the songs.[38]
Music video[edit]
"Enter Sandman" was the second music video from Metallica. It was also the first of six Metallica music videos directed by Wayne Isham.[39] Recorded on July 3, 1991 in Los Angeles, it premiered on July 30, 1991, two weeks before the release of the album.[18] The plot of the music video directly relates to the theme of the song, combining images of a child having nightmares and images of an old man (R. G. Armstrong) with shots of the band playing the song.[40] The child dreams that he is drowning, falling from the top of a building, covered in snakes, being chased by a truck and finally falling from a mountain while escaping the truck. During the part of the song in which the child recites a prayer, he is being watched by the Sandman. Throughout the video, the picture flickers continuously. The music video won Best Hard Rock Video at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards and was nominated for Best Cinematography and Best Editing.[22] Andrew Blackie of PopMatters has said the video's "narrative suits the sludgy riffs and James Hetfield's twisted lullaby lyric".[40]
British alternative rock band Skunk Anansie did a homage to the video for their video "Charlie Big Potato".
Appearances and covers[edit]
"Enter Sandman" has been played in almost every Metallica live performance since its release. The band released live versions of the song in the videos Live Shit: Binge & Purge, Cunning Stunts, and S&M where the band played with the San Francisco Symphony led by maestro Michael Kamen. The song is discussed in the videos A Year and a Half in the Life of Metallica and Classic Albums: Metallica - Metallica, and its video is available in The Videos 1989-2004. Metallica has played the song live at awards ceremonies and benefit concerts, such as the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards,[41] the 1992 Grammy Awards,[22] the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert,[42] and Live Earth.[43] Explosives are occasionally set off at 0:49 of the song, when the main riffs start. Following its UK terrestrial broadcast of Live Earth, the BBC received 413 complaints and apologized to Metallica fans for cutting the band's set before "Enter Sandman".[44][45]
Sample of "Enter Sandman" from Apocalyptica's 1996 debut album Plays Metallica by Four Cellos. At that time, Apocalyptica consisted of four cellists. All the songs on the album are instrumental covers of Metallica songs arranged and played on cellos.[46]

On tours after the release of their album Load, Metallica staged accidents at indoor shows while playing the song. Among other stunts, a light tower would come crushing down with electrical wires sparking, and a crew member would run onto the stage on fire;[47][48] such scenes can be seen in the live video Cunning Stunts. On June 6, 2004, at Download Festival, in England the song was performed with Joey Jordison of Slipknot playing the drums replacing Ulrich after he suffered a medical emergency.[49]
"Enter Sandman" has been covered by many artists, including acts as diverse as Injustice (2010), Alter Bridge, Sum 41, Lemmy of Motörhead with Zebrahead, Zac Brown Band, Apocalyptica, "Weird Al" Yankovic (for his "Polka Your Eyes Out" medley), Richard Cheese, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Reel Big Fish, Tropikal Forever, Ween, Die Krupps, Björn Again, Youn Sun Nah and Pat Boone.[50] Lemmy & Zebrahead's cover of the song was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 42nd Grammy Awards in 2000 but lost to Black Sabbath's "Iron Man".[51] The song was also covered on the album Metallic Assault: A Tribute to Metallica, and is notable for featuring Robert Trujillo playing bass on the track several years before he became a member of Metallica. Country singer Luke Bryan routinely performs the song as part of a medley along with his own song "All My Friends Say". Widespread Panic performed the song once as part of a live set on October 31, 2007 at the Asheville Civic Center in Asheville, NC.[52] Parody band Beatallica recorded a mashup of the song and the Beatles' "Taxman" titled "Sandman", on their 2007 album Sgt. Hetfield's Motorbreath Pub Band. In October 2011, a video of British children aged 8–10 covering the song at the Buckleberry Beer Festival as The Mini Band went viral, eventually gaining more than 9,000,000 views on YouTube.[53] Punk rock band L7 covered fragments of the song at their concerts.[citation needed]
The song's driving, building intro has made it popular as entrance music in sports – first used by the Louisville Cardinals and later most notably for New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera (and he also got his nickname "Sandman" due to the association between the song and him).[54][55] Metallica performed "Enter Sandman" live at Yankee Stadium on September 22, 2013, in a pregame ceremony honoring Rivera's career.[56] It has also been used by Billy Wagner, the Virginia Tech Hokies football team, ECW pro wrestler The Sandman, and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Brock Lesnar in the UFC. It is also played for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim home games, Bradford Bulls rugby team, the Rutgers Scarlet Knights football team, the Iowa Hawkeyes football team, the Wisconsin Badgers men's hockey team[citation needed], New Zealand Breakers,and the Southern Illinois Salukis football team.
It is also popular in the entertainment field being used in the opening of the Tom Leykis radio show, and for the entrance music of Larry the Cable Guy during his Comedy Central Roast. In 2010, the song was parodied by The Fringemunks to recap Fringe episode 2.14, "Jacksonville."[57] The song is also played during the first ascent on the X² roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. It is also featured in the video games Rock Band and Guitar Hero: Metallica.[58]
The song was also used by NASA mission control CAPCOM B. Alvin Drew to wake up space shuttle astronauts aboard STS-123. The song was selected for Mission Specialist Robert L. Behnken by his fiance.[59]
During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, uncooperative prisoners were exposed to the song for extended periods by American interrogators. According to United States Psychological Operations, the intention was to "break a prisoner's resistance [... by] playing music that was culturally offensive to them".[60] Upon discovering that the song was used for these purposes, drummer Lars Ulrich commented saying "If there are people that are dumb enough to use Metallica to interrogate prisoners, you're forgetting about all the music that's to the left of us. I can name, you know, 30 Norwegian death metal bands that would make Metallica sound like Simon & Garfunkel".[61]
Canadian indie rock artist Mac DeMarco often performs the song as an encore performance.

WASHINGTON — Older Americans got a double dose of bad news Thursday: There will be no cost-of-living increase in Social Security benefits next year, and Medicare bills are set to soar for many.
It's just the third time in 40 years that Social Security payments will remain flat. All three times have come since 2010.
WASHINGTON (AP) — For just the third time in 40 years, millions of Social Security recipients, disabled veterans and federal retirees can expect no increase in benefits next year, unwelcome news for more than one-fifth of the nation's population.
They can blame low gas prices.
By law, the annual cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, is based on a government measure of inflation, which is being dragged down by lower prices at the pump.
WASHINGTON — Social Security turns 80 today, and the massive retirement and disability program is showing its age.
Social Security's disability fund is projected to run dry next year. The retirement fund has enough money to pay full benefits until 2035. But once the fund is depleted, the shortfalls are projected to be enormous.
The stakes are huge: Nearly 60 million retirees, disabled workers, spouses and children get monthly Social Security payments, and that number is projected to grow to 90 million over the next two decades.
WASHINGTON — Borrowing a pizza delivery motto, online retail giant Amazon told Congress Wednesday it is developing the technology to use drones to deliver packages in 30 minutes or less, a broad expansion of unmanned flight that is raising concerns about safety, security and privacy.
WASHINGTON — IRS investigators believe the identity thieves who stole the personal tax information of more than 100,000 taxpayers from an IRS website are part of a sophisticated criminal operation based in Russia, two officials told the Associated Press.
The information was stolen as part of an elaborate scheme to claim fraudulent tax refunds, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told reporters. Koskinen declined to say where the crime originated.
WASHINGTON — Nearly 1,600 IRS workers were found to have willfully evaded taxes over a 10-year period, including some who were responsible for enforcing the nation's tax laws, a government watchdog said Wednesday.
It's a small percentage of the tax agency's employees — about 160 workers a year out of a workforce of 85,000.
A new report by the agency's inspector general said most were not fired, even though a 1998 law calls for terminations when IRS workers willfully don't pay their taxes. The penalty must be waived by the IRS commissioner.
WASHINGTON — House leaders used Wednesday's tax filing deadline to pass a package of bills designed to protect taxpayers from potential abuse by the IRS, a response to recent scandals at the agency.
One bill would prevent IRS employees from using personal email accounts for official business. One would enact a taxpayers' bill of rights, and another would require the tax agency to fire employees caught targeting individuals or groups based on their politics.
WASHINGTON — The Senate sided with traditional retailers and financially strapped state and local governments Monday by passing a bill that would widely subject online shopping — for many a largely tax-free frontier — to state sales taxes.
The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 69 to 27, getting support from Republicans and Democrats alike. But opposition from some conservatives who view it as a tax increase will make it a tougher sell in the House. President Barack Obama has conveyed his support for the measure.
WASHINGTON — Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney won all 20 delegates at stake in Puerto Rico's Republican presidential primary Sunday, adding to his lead in the race for delegates to the party's national convention.
Puerto Rico awarded delegates proportionally. However, there was a trigger that awarded all 20 delegates to a candidate who won more than 50 percent of the vote, and Romney was on pace to finish well above the threshold.

Mann & Elias Files Discrimination Law Suit Against Theme Park Designer Battaglia, Inc.
Mann & Elias filing an employment discrimination lawsuit against Battaglia Inc., a world renowned theme park planning and design company located in Newport Beach, California.
Ms. Elias alleges in her lawsuit that on or about July 16, 2007, she submitted a cover letter and her resume to Battaglia Inc., in response to a job posting for an accounting manager position placed on the job website Monster.com. The plaintiff claims that she was well qualified for the position, having been an experienced CPA and accounting manager for many years. Ms. Elias's resume indicates that she was educated in Egypt.
The next day, an HR representative from Battaglia called Ms. Elias and left a message requesting a return call about the accounting manager position.
In her suit, Ms. Elias, who was employed at the time, states that she returned the call and left a voice mail message providing suggestions as to the best time when she could be reached. She admits that she speaks with a strong discernible Middle Eastern accent.
The lawsuit contends that the HR representative for Battaglia never called back, even after Ms. Elias left another voice mail message the next day.
It is further alleged that a couple of weeks later, on July 29, 2007, Ms. Elias noticed that the accounting manager position for Battaglia was again advertised on Monster.com. She emailed her resume once again and expressed her continued interest in the position.
The lawsuit alleges that upon receiving plaintiff's July 29 email, Battaglia's HR person wrote an email, intended for Battaglia's controller who had requisitioned the open position of accountant manager, for advice on how to respond to Ms. Elias. This email was meant to be an internal confidential document, and it was mistakenly sent to Ms. Elias. Ms. Elias charges that the email was very discriminatory.
Discovery in the lawsuit has revealed that, other than verbal counseling for having erroneously sent the email to plaintiff, Battaglia has not in any way disciplined, trained or counseled its HR representative or its controller about the apparent discriminatory content of the email. Ms. Elias charges that the ownership, as well as upper management at Battaglia ratified its HR representative'
Trial is scheduled to begin on July 13, in the Superior Court of Orange County in Santa Ana.

Skip to comments.Priest Who Mocked Clinton Again Draws Spotlight (
Posted on 05/31/2008 12:36:26 PM PDT by kellynla
CHICAGO -- He's a white priest at a largely black church. He's held hands with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. He's been arrested dozens of times and battled anyone he thinks has wronged his parish _ from gun dealers to a local Catholic sports league. Now the Rev. Michael Pfleger is something else: the latest thorn in the side of presidential candidate Barack Obama.
Racially charged comments Pfleger made last week mocking Obama rival Hillary Rodham Clinton _ as a guest at Obama's church, no less _ triggered a quick response from Obama, who wants nothing to do with a racial firestorm like the one generated by his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
While Pfleger is not nearly as close to Obama as Wright had been, he has donated to the candidate's state Senate and presidential campaigns and sat on a Catholics for Obama committee until a few weeks ago. When Obama was in the Illinois Legislature, he helped land more than $200,000 in state grants for outreach programs run by Pfleger's church.
Obama made it clear he wasn't happy with the comments _ in which Pfleger pretended he was Clinton crying over "a black man stealing my show" _ and said he was "deeply disappointed in Father Pfleger's divisive, backward-looking rhetoric, which doesn't reflect the country I see or the desire of people across America to come together in common cause."
Pfleger, too, issued an apology, saying he was sorry if his comments offended Clinton or anyone else. He did not return several calls for comment on Friday.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsmax.com ...
At times, there has been talk of diocesan officials reassigning Pfleger, but he is immensely popular in his parish and has helped it thrive over the past quarter-century..."
Yea, Pfleger has been "immensely popular" preaching anti-white racism to blacks...a reeeeeeeeeeel Christian!
Archbishop George had better do SOMETHING to this priest NOW!!! Also Trinity and St. Sabina's TAX EXEMPT STATUS needs to be pulled NOW also!
He do know how to play to da crowd.
Why? What makes you think he actually disapproves?
Also Trinity and St. Sabinas TAX EXEMPT STATUS needs to be pulled NOW also!
The IRS doesn't do that to Democrats.
yeah, no kidding.
I was raised a Catholic, and this nasty snot-nose is like no priest I ever knew.
Pfleger - another racist for Obama! He keeps racking them up.
I wonder what Pfleger's adoptive black sons have to say about all this.
I still can't fathom why anyone would allow a Catholic priest to adopt boys in the current climate and condition of the Church.
When Wright does it, it's authentic, but Feltcher is nothing but a wannabe.
Pfleger gives the orders to Cardinal George, not the other way around. Pfleger's gang and mob pals make sure the Cardinal knows what's good for him.
Pfleger gives the orders to Cardinal George, not the other way around. Pfleger's gang and mob pals make sure the Cardinal knows what's good for him.
This pasty faced Priest is a black radical with a white hide. He goes over well in radical Chicago circles but he is almost as big a millstone on Obama as Wright.
Send him to a mission in Calcutta.
It is very sad to me that there are churches where the name of Jesus Christ is only mentioned on rare occasions and when it is mentioned, it is for the purpose of politicizing it. Church is supposed to be a place where God is worshipped and where the Word of God is spoken and revered. I can't imagine attending a church where people are the focus and where hatred and bitterness are continually stirred.
One would think by now that Francis Cardinal George, after dealing with his own bladder cancer, has learned the importance and necessity of aggressively attacking a tumor.
Go here to see the reply:

"Now the Rev. Michael Pfleger is something else: the latest thorn in the side of presidential candidate Barack Obama."
Obama was just minding his own business, harming no one, active in his work of uniting Americans and the good Reverend Pfleger just comes out of no where and attacks Obama [scratch that] Hillary . . . ah, I've lost the logic here. Nevermind, in any case, the Obamessiah is the victim and the evil doers are trying to divide the country. Dark forces of fascism and racism are attempting the prevent and distract the good Obameister from his good and nice work.
Yup, that's my story and I'm sticking to it, sayeth the High Obamedia Personhood.
"One would think by now that Francis Cardinal George, after dealing with his own bladder cancer, has learned the importance and necessity of aggressively attacking a tumor."
Well it has become increasingly obvious to me that liberalism has infected my Church like it has the rest of society...
I just hope & pray that Pope Benedict will start "cleaning house" from top to bottom...sooner than later!
"Liberalism is just Communism sold by the drink."
Keep him on a short leash. But, while he's busy mocking Clinton and not doing anything illegal, why not just let him have at it?
So if he had one, Phleger would divorce his wife for being a whitey lover.
Did you see the video of him "dancing" to some African tribal music in the processional up to the alter? LOL!! Typical White Guy! Absolutely no rhythm!
"short leash?"
this guy has been the pastor of St. Sabina for TWENTY SEVEN YEARS!!!
I don't know what he thinks he's preaching from the pulpit but IT IS NOT THE WORD OF GOD!
This guy needs to go! AND HE NEEDS TO GO NOW!
I merely meant that there's a certain pleasure seeing "her thighness" mocked by her friends on the left.
I know what you meant, it has nothing to do with you...
but being a "practicing Roman Catholic", I am just sick & tired of apologizing for Catholic priests and this clown needs to be g...o...n...e! And this "liberal crap" that's been going on in my Church for decades needs to be eliminated!!!
We have the Apostles Creed, the Bible, Jesus Christ & the Ten Commandments; the rest of this liberal BS needs to be flushed down the toilet!
Insulting the Queen has been dangerous for others.
He has a wife. His name is 'Little Timmy".
Ever hear of Fr Joe Coughlin....another Chicago rabble rouser on the radio in the 40's and 50's
This Chicago Black Church is a CULT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deviants, megalomaniacs and criminals have long figured out that the easiest path to a dubious goal is to cloak the mission in religion.
History is full of these creatures posing as men of faith. Their *marks* are those poor dumb folks who "cling to religion when they are fearful". Black and white!!!!
Obama let his real sentiments slip out - he knows how Elmer Gantrification works - he's been on the inside of the Trinity Church hierachy for two decades.
I thank you for clearing that up.......next time you're on the godphone get me six good numbers for megabucks okay?
That's the wierd part. I can't understand why the crowd in that church didn't get upset with Pfleger's Amos n' Andy act. All that was missing was the blackface.
"The day after Obama won the primary in March, he stopped by Salem for Wednesday-night Bible study."
Whose "Bible" were they studying?!
The liberal mantra that Obama isn't 'responsible' for what other people say is a half-truth and fools no one. Of course one cannot hold anyone culpable for what another person says, no matter how inflammatory. However, the fact that the people saying the divisive, inflammatory things that repel most sane people in America, are also longtime friends of Obama...and that is undeniable.
To expect the American voter to believe that Barack Obama was close to racist America-haters for years and knew nothing about their radical political/social views, as evidenced in the pulpit on Sunday by Wright, especially, is absurd on its face and downright insulting to the intelligence of the American people...who are a lot smarter that Obama and Democrats want to believe. They'll find out in November..
Good for you.
I am so tired of this bash all Catholic priests garbage.
Now, I sing a rousing Negro spiritual!
It is very sad to me that there are churches where the name of Jesus Christ is only mentioned on rare occasions and when it is mentioned, it is for the purpose of politicizing it. Church is supposed to be a place where God is worshipped and where the Word of God is spoken and revered. I cant imagine attending a church where people are the focus and where hatred and bitterness are continually stirred.
Welcome to the Brave New World and another reason for me to be ashamed of my Catholic heritage.
So Obama may win the Primary but he will lose the General election. I don't see ANY levelheaded American going into the voting booth on 11/4 and voting for an anti-American racist! Now bear in mind, I said "levelheaded" American which automatically eliminates Lefties & anyone who depends on government welfare.

That statement could not be more limp wristed. This priest needs to be defrocked.

Philippine billionaire Enrique Razon wants to use his Manila casino venture as a springboard to expand overseas, replicating the strategy that made his family's port company one of Southeast Asia's largest operators.
Razon, who parlayed a Manila port franchise his family obtained in 1988 into a company with operations in 18 other countries, is interested in markets with established rules for gaming licenses, such as Macau and parts of Latin America.
"We just have to build the brand," Razon said in an interview in Manila yesterday. He expects Macau's government will allow new entrants into the world's largest gambling hub in 2020 as existing licenses start expiring.
Bloomberry Resorts Corp., Razon's first casino venture, started operating the $1.2 billion Solaire casino resort in March with one of four licenses issued in Manila to build a gaming and entertainment hub and compete with Macau and Singapore. Macau's gaming revenue surged 14 percent to $38 billion last year driven by Chinese tourists, while Singapore drew $6 billion.
Bloomberry is the Razon family's first foray into gaming since his father quit from a venture with Macau casino mogul Stanley Ho on Manila's floating casino during the time of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos.
International Container Terminal Services Inc., a company Razon started with his father in December 1987, won a franchise to operate the Manila International Container Terminal in 1988, beating six other competing groups in the Philippines' first port privatization.
ICTSI, as it is locally known, is the country's biggest operator. After making bids for foreign port companies, ICTSI now has ventures from India to Colombia and Argentina.
"He will have a harder time expanding his casino ventures overseas," said Alex Pomento, strategist at the Manila unit of Macquarie Group Ltd. "Mr. Razon's expertise is with ports, a business that has no correlation with gaming."
Latin America
The port business in Latin America may end up helping with the casino expansion, according to Razon. "We have the advantage there because we are the biggest port operator there. We know the landscape," he said.
Solaire's VIP gaming business is doing better than expected and its section for high-stake gamblers is "filled up," Razon said. The casino has attracted 30 junket operators, he said, referring to the firms that provide credit and help organize trips for mainland Chinese and other Asian bettors visiting overseas casinos.
Razon has so far spent $700 million to build Solaire's first phase that opened earlier this year and will spend another $450 million for its expansion. Those investments could be recovered in five years, he said.
International Competition
In his ambitions to expand in the casino industry, Razon faces competition from local and overseas rivals. Only six gaming operators, including Sands China Ltd. and Wynn Macau Ltd., currently have licenses to operate in Macau.
In the Philippines, Henry Sy, the richest local tycoon, and his partner Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd., are scheduled to open a $1.3 billion gaming complex in the Manila hub in the second half of 2014. A venture of Japanese billionaire Kazuo Okada and a fourth casino in the Manila complex by Philippine billionaire Andrew Tan and Genting Hong Kong Ltd. are expected to open between 2015 and 2017.
Razon might be able to pull off a surprise on his overseas expansion plans, said Pomento, the strategist. "This will depend on how he and his partners will do with their casino in Manila," he said.

Hi guys , as you can see i am very new in this forum and also very new in linux so i have some questions regarding the installation of Ubuntu 7. I insert the installation cd into the drive and boot from it in order to install ubuntu. When it loads the installation i get 20 -30 lines of errors most of them are the same but i will give them to you now :
and then i get this :
I have no idea what might be wrong so PLEASEEEE give me some help.Thanks in advance.
Verify your installation CD is good. Select "Check CD for defects" on the boot menu.
If that doesn't work replace the hard drive. That is a classic sign of corruption of files, that ocurrs only two ways, the source (instalation CD is damaged or dirty or the CD-ROM is damaged) or the destination (your hard drive is too old and damaged, broken, dropped, defective, bad formatting, etc). IF your CD is the problem try downloading it and burning it from a different computer from the first one you used to get UBUNTU, if not try replacing the cd rom if possible. Finally if nothing else replace the hard drive.
kerr64.proboards55.comHello there just this minute encountered the exact same problem but in this case i knew the hard drive was older so replaced it with a new one and the install went in fine
I had the same problem:- I downloaded the iso image again.- Re-burned it and now it works.

Patient Comments: Wegener's Granulomatosis - Treatment
What was the treatment for Wegener's granulomatosis in you, a friend, or relative?
Comment from: Hailee, 25-34 Female (Caregiver) Published: March 14
My uncle had Wegener"s granulomatosis disease when I was 5. While I was right next to him he died from it because they didn"t have a cure. I"m 13 now and writing a report about Wegener"s disease.
Comment from: Marsha, 19-24 Male (Caregiver) Published: February 28
My son was diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis when he was 15 years old. He suffered from sinus problems and severe joint pain and fatigue that made it impossible for him to go to school or even put his clothes on. He was very athletic before this happened and was devastated. It took the doctors 6 months before he was diagnosed. The ENT doctor did a biopsy on him and confirmed Wegener's. He is now 19 and over the past 4 years has had lung and kidney affected and narrowing of the airway. He has had 5 surgeries in the past 2 years to keep his airway open. They have tried every drug there is to treat Wegener's. He went about a year in remission, but has started to have joint pain again and had 2 surgeries in 4 months for throat dilation. It is very hard to see my son suffer with this disease, it just doesn't seem fair. Right now he is on 60mg prednisone and 2000 CellCept daily.
Comment from: alive 2014, 55-64 Female (Patient) Published: January 08
In the summer of 2012 I developed all the symptoms of WG (Wegener's granulomatosis) within a 4 week period. After being treated for the various infections, "blood spots" appeared on my fingers and feet. My general physician sent me for a chest x-ray and CT scan, and made an appointment with a rheumatologist that was familiar with WG. By September I was being treated with Rituxan, steroids, and Bactrim. I had to have a second round of Rituxan in Feb. 2013, and have been in remission since then. I am grateful for an early diagnosis.
Comment from: Marco, 75 or over Male (Caregiver) Published: January 03
My mother had relatively few symptoms, except for loss of appetite and weight loss for about 2 to 3 months. She was also dizzy but that was attributed to her blood pressure medication making her pressure too low. Her doctor did blood work and sent her to a nephrologist saying she was in renal failure. She was diagnosed with Wegener's; had plasmapheresis and 2 treatments of Cytoxan so far, and is still on high dose of steroids. She seems a little better but she is still very weak, and is experiencing short term memory loss and some confusion. She's scheduled to see a neurologist in 2 weeks.
Comment from: jro, 13-18 Female (Caregiver) Published: January 02
My daughter at fourteen was diagnosed with Wegener's granulomatosis two months after exhibiting symptoms. Her symptoms were, ear infection, nose bleeds, night sweats, joint pains with no swelling and reddish purple rash, that was not raised, on her feet and hands and red bloodshot eyes. She is now being treated through children's memorial hospital and has had 4 doses of IV rituximab with prednisone to hopefully put this in remission.
Comment from: Normskeeper, 55-64 (Patient) Published: August 20
My symptoms now appear as typical to Wegener's: extreme night sweats, unable to walk due to unbearable joint pain, and constant pain behind the left eye. I made many trips to the ER, ENT, GP, cardiologist, rheumatologist, psychiatrist, and nephrologist, who finally looked at my readings and said I would not survive another eight hours. I had left work to make the consultation and ended up on Mother's Day with the diagnosis following a kidney biopsy. From the onset of problems to diagnosis, it was seven months, four biopsies, and 17 different and powerful medications. I joked about my "Hello Kitty" face due to the extraordinary amounts of prednisone, weathered the Cytoxan, and lost my hair in the process (not a bad thing). I spent five months off and on in the hospital with kidney failure and six years into this I am healthy, active, working, and enjoying every moment. I had cataract surgery two years ago following the ravages of prednisone, which was very successful. I am grateful there were finally answers, excellent doctors who supported and believed in me, and family and friends who carried me. I always believed I was "safe" and still do after two flares. I remain on Imuran to this day. I am a firm believer if you are given the diagnosis and tools available to fight, you are empowered to act. I am most fortunate and wish others health and strength once diagnosed.

Some printers marketed as A3 printers (29.7cm x 42cm), like the Epson Stylus T1110 in Latin America, are reported to print pages up to 111cm.
A friend of mine needs to print teaching materials on 15cm x 50cm strips, has anyone managed to do anything similar on cheap A4 inkjet printers?
The point is to save time from lots of cutting & pasting he currently does.

Life I Missed My Calling
posted by March 30 at 10:13 AMon
New York City's "underground gourmet scene" has produced a pack of guerrillas called Fresh Meats:
… a group of relentless carnophiles who provide dinner parties the absolute freshest meat possible. This involves bringing a soon-to-be-delicious animal to your apartment, then taking it through all stages of preparation, starting in your bathtub, and ending in your oven. That's right: you choose an easy-to-smuggle, live delicacy (chicken, duck, squab, rabbit, even a snake or frog), and FM will lead it to your tub and do-what-must-be-done. Once it's dead and bled out, they'll work with the meat in less horrifying ways (cleaning the carcass, rending the cuts, stewing it in a delicate béchamel sauce, etc) until it's ready for a glorious presentation to you and any guests who haven't defected to a PETA tofu roast.
Goddamn. I think I'm in love.
Goodbye, everybody. I'm moving to New York.
(Via Dethroner and Mr. Christopher Bragg.)

Cancer Health Center
Thyroid Cancer - Other Treatment
Radiation treatment
Radiation treatment uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. It is rarely used for thyroid cancer.
Low-iodine diet
- Foods to avoid for a low-iodine diet include milk and other dairy products, commercial baked products (including most breads), seafood, and red food dye #3. A low-iodine diet is not the same as a low-salt diet. Most salt in the United States and Canada has iodine added, so low-iodine diets avoid iodized salt, but non-iodized salt is okay to eat.
- For more information, talk to your doctor or a registered dietitian, or visit the Thyroid Cancer Survivor's Association website at www.thyca.org/rai.htm.
Complementary therapy
People sometimes use complementary therapies along with medical treatment to help relieve symptoms and side effects of cancer treatments. Some of the complementary therapies that may be helpful include:
- Acupuncture to relieve pain.
- Meditation or yoga to relieve stress.
- Massage or biofeedback to reduce pain and ease tension.
- Breathing exercises for relaxation.
These mind-body treatments may help you feel better. They can make it easier to cope with treatment. They also may reduce chronic low back pain, joint pain, headaches, and pain from treatments.
Before you try a complementary therapy, talk to your doctor about the possible value and potential side effects. Let your doctor know if you are already using any such therapies. They are not meant to take the place of standard medical treatment.

Product Description
From Library Journal
Journey with the Joads for 21 hours in this first unabridged version of Steinbeck's classic. Controversial, even shocking, when it was written, the work continues to be so even today. The keen listener can hear why, because it poses fundamental questions about justice, the ownership and stewardship of the land, the role of government, power, and the very foundations of capitalist society. As history, this brings the Dust Bowl years to life in a most memorable way. Steinbeck (Travels with Charley, Audio Reviews, LJ 11/15/94) is a master storyteller and manages to engage the listener's sympathy with this epic story. Reader Dylan Baker, who gives each character a distinctive voice, draws the listener in. His female characters, especially the minor ones and Rose of Sharon, don't seem as authentic as his wonderful evocation of the fictional Tom, Ma, and Pa. But his voice is easy to listen to, and he is faithful to the characters' backgrounds and the plains region. The music that ends each individual tape is perfect for the story. This program is a well-produced, affordable, and worthwhile addition for any library with a serious audiobook collection.?Nancy Paul, Brandon P.L., WI

During this horrible time, a family decides to leave Oklahoma like every other family was. They decide to travel to California in search for some fortune from the Gold Rush. Their trip is very long and harsh. They all travel across the country with a carriage and a couple of horses. They experience a lot of hardships on their journey. Close to the end of their trip a family member dies because of a disease in their foot. When the family finally gets to California they are expecting an easy life and they are expecting happiness but all they find is more poverty, like in Oklahoma. Nothing was different.
This is the part of the book when I finally realized the family's pain. I finally started to feel really bad for them. This is a huge reason why I loved this book. Towards the end of the book I had serious feelings for the characters. It amazed me.
The Grapes of Wrath doesn't have a very complex plot. It actually doesn't have much of a plot at all. It simply follows a family through a period of their life.
Grapes Of Wrath is the story of the desperate battle of migrant labourers with the rich, greedy, malevolent and the mean. When the Joads arrive in California from their native Oklahoma, their troubles and tribulations are rewarded not by bounty, but by even more hardship. What ensues is a timeless battle. It is waged by the spirit of the downtrodden on the one side, and by the mercenary mean muscle of the other. The story is primordial and resonates with any reader with a sense for perception.
The classic work of fiction describes a world where the rich, with their glitzy cars, ride alone and never mind hitting a man or a noble dog should one come in their way. Then there is the poor and oppressed who, despite their condition, extend a hand time and time again and never forget what is important on the great round dustbowl. The wheel in the sky seems to work against those who toil and possess a heart, but cruelty and oppression are exposed as mere facades that once removed reveal nothing more than a faceless corporate entity bereft of the right to exist.
It is in this setting that John Steinbeck writes in amazingly authentic and sanguine dialogue the flight of the strong-at-heart from, and again into, the belly of a system bent on browbeating compassion, kindness and veracity.

My husband and I stayed at Hotel Cestelli in early November. Our stay there was one of the highlights of our trip. The owners/hosts, Alessio and Asumi, are delightful -- warm and welcoming, and such fun to talk with -- and also so helpful with our dinner decisions! The location is perfect, on a narrow street near the Ponte Vecchio, within walking distance of many incredible attractions including the Uffizi and the Duomo. We also recommend the tiny little wine bar just steps from Hotel Cestelli!
Our room was charming and comfortable, with a small but clean and efficient bathroom. This is a gem of a hotel -- a great value, and made our visit to Florence all the more special. We would recommend it highly and plan to stay there again when we return to Florence some day!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Situated in a 12th century palace off Via de' Tornabuoni and just steps away from Ponte Vecchio. Minimalistic and calm atmosphere inside enhanced by subdued lighting and Japanese simplicity. Renaissance meets Zen. ... more less

My Brother Sam Is Dead
by James Lincoln Collier and Christopher Collier
Analysis: Narrator Point of View
Who is the narrator, can she or he read minds, and, more importantly, can we trust her or him?
First Person (Central Narrator)
Our head honcho Tim tells his own story. This means we get to hear what he's thinking and feeling all the time. And boy does this kid spend lot of time thinking. Basically, it's all Tim all the time.
Here's the deal. There are two sides to the Timmy-as-taleteller coin:
(1) With Tim as our storyteller, we get an up-close-and-personal look at history. This isn't just a story about the Revolutionary War as a big abstract event that happened oodles of years ago. Instead, we learn about how this war affected our main man, Tim.
(2) Tim may be a great storyteller, but he isn't a mind reader. This means that Tim doesn't always know what's happening outside his town of Redding. To be honest, he can't even tell us what other people are thinking. But that's not going to stop Timmy from taking a guess every now and again:
When I saw Betsy at the tavern or in church I would look at her in hopes that she would give me a sign or whisper to me that Sam was coming soon, but she never did. I guess she was scared of having the subject come up in front of grownups, especially Father or the other Tories. (3.29)
See how Tim tries to figure out what Betsy is thinking? He doesn't know exactly what's going on inside that head of hers. But he looks at her actions to take as good a guess as he can.
So how much do you think we should trust Tim's guesses? Do you think he's a reliable narrator? Or does he spend too much time guessing and not enough time on the facts?
