Amnesia Moonby Jonathan Lethem
In Jonathan Lethem's wryly funny second novel, we meet a young man named Chaos, who's living in a movie theater in post-apocalyptic Wyoming, drinking alcohol, and eating food out of cans.It's an unusual and at times unbearable existence, but Chaos soon discovers that his post-nuclear reality may have no connection to the truth. So he takes to the road with a girl named Melinda in order to find answers. As the pair travels through the United States they find that, while each town has been affected differently by the mysterious source of the apocalypse, none of the people they meet can fill in their incomplete memories or answer their questions. Gradually, figures from Chaos's past, including some who appear only under the influence of intravenously administered drugs, make Chaos remember some of his forgotten life as a man named Moon.
Ancient Historyby Jonathan Lethem Joseph Mcelroy
An uninvited guest, entering the empty New York apartment of a man known to intimates as "Dom," proceeds to write for his absent host a curious confession. Its close accounts of friendship since boyhood with two men surely unknown to Dom and certainly to each other is interleaved with the story of Dom himself.Ancient History is one of the only novels by Joseph McElroy to not have been re-issued in paperback, coming out alongside his new novel after a year-long re-introduction of his work to readers via eBooks.
As She Climbed Across the Tableby Jonathan Lethem
Anna Karenina left her husband for a dashing officer. Lady Chatterley left hers for the gamekeeper. Now Alice Coombs has her boyfriend for nothing ... nothing at all. Just how that should have come to pass and what Philip Engstrand, Alice's spurned boyfriend, can do about it is the premise for this vertiginous speculative romance by the acclaimed author of Gun, with Occasional Music. Alice Coombs is a particle physicist, and she and her colleagues have created a void, a hole in the universe, that they have taken to calling Lack. But Lack is a nullity with taste--tastes; it absorbs a pomegranate, light bulbs, an argyle sock; it disdains a bow tie, an ice ax, and a scrambled duck egg. To Alice, this selectivity translates as an irresistible personality. To Philip, it makes Lack an unbeatable rival, for how can he win Alice back from something that has no flaws--because it has no qualities? Ingenious, hilarious, and genuinely mind-expanding, As She Climbed Across the Table is the best boy-meets-girl-meets-void story ever written. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Brooklyn Is -- Southeast of the Island: Travel Notesby James Agee Jonathan Lethem
In 1939, James Agee was working for Fortune magazine. Commissioned to write an article on Brooklyn for a special issue on New York, Agee moved to the Flatbush neighborhood for two months, later producing "Southeast of the Island: Travel Notes". As had earlier happened with the essay that was to become his classic portrait of southern farmers, "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men", Fortune declined to publish, and the essay remained unpublished until its 1968 Esquire appearance under the title "Brooklyn Is". In the words of Brooklyn-born novelist Jonathan Lethem, who provides the introduction to the essay in this volume, "the narrative rises up on the swirling imaged-junked cone of Agee's prophetic style to see the borough and its people whole".
Chronic Cityby Jonathan Lethem
Chase Insteadman, un apuesto e inofensivo producto de la escena social de Manhattan, lleva una vida de ocio gracias a las rentas que recibe de su breve carrera como actor infantil. Además, últimamente ha vuelto a la vida pública por una tragedia que los medios no se cansan de cubrir: su amor de la adolescencia y prometida, Janice Trumbull, está atrapada en la Estación Espacial Internacional, desde donde le envía arrebatadas cartas de amor. La vida de Chase cambia radicalmente cuando conoce a Perkus Tooth, un ermitaño virtual y enigmático que es adorado en los círculos más modernos por su arte callejero de vanguardia y sus caústicos comentarios. Su labia incendiaria y su voraz paranoia arrastran a Chase a un Manhattan completamente diferente, un Manhattan distópico y sesgado en el que la verdad es a gusto del consumidor.Un árbol de marihuana ancestral y poderoso llamado Chronic, una espesa niebla gris que cubre Manhattan y un tigre mecánico que tiene aterrorizados a los habitantes de Nueva York son otros de los personajes de la nueva novela de Jonathan Lethem.
Chronic City: A Novelby Jonathan Lethem
The acclaimed author of Motherless Brooklyn and The Fortress of Solitude returns with a roar with this gorgeous, searing portrayal of Manhattanites wrapped in their own delusions, desires, and lies. Chase Insteadman, a handsome, inoffensive fixture on Manhattan's social scene, lives off residuals earned as a child star on a beloved sitcom called Martyr & Pesty. Chase owes his current social cachet to an ongoing tragedy much covered in the tabloids: His teenage sweetheart and fiancée, Janice Trumbull, is trapped by a layer of low-orbit mines on the International Space Station, from which she sends him rapturous and heartbreaking love letters. Like Janice, Chase is adrift, she in Earth's stratosphere, he in a vague routine punctuated by Upper East Side dinner parties. Into Chase's cloistered city enters Perkus Tooth, a wall-eyed free-range pop critic whose soaring conspiratorial riffs are fueled by high-grade marijuana, mammoth cheeseburgers, and a desperate ache for meaning. Perkus's countercultural savvy and voracious paranoia draw Chase into another Manhattan, where questions of what is real, what is fake, and who is complicit take on a life-shattering urgency. Along with Oona Laszlo, a self-loathing ghostwriter, and Richard Abneg, a hero of the Tompkins Square Park riot now working as a fixer for the billionaire mayor, Chase and Perkus attempt to unearth the answers to several mysteries that seem to offer that rarest of artifacts on an island where everything can be bought: Truth. Like Manhattan itself, Jonathan Lethem's masterpiece is beautiful and tawdry, tragic and forgiving, devastating and antic, a stand-in for the whole world and a place utterly unique.
The Disappointment Artist: Essaysby Jonathan Lethem
A mixture of personal memory and cultural commentary, The Disappointment Artist offers a series of windows onto the collisions of art, landscape, and personal history that formed Jonathan Lethem's richly imaginative perspective on life at the end of the twentieth century. Lethem illuminates the process by which a child invents himself as a writer, and as a human being, through a series of approaches to the culture around him. In the title piece, a letter from his aunt (a children's book author) spurs a meditation on the value of writing workshops, the role and influence of reviews, and the uncomfortable fraternity of writers. In 'Defending The Searchers', Lethem explains how a passion for the classic John Wayne Western became occasion for a series of minor humiliations. In 'Identifying with Your Parents', an excavation of childhood love for superhero comics expands to cover a whole range of nostalgia for a previous generation's cultural artefacts. And '13/1977/21', which begins by recounting the summer he saw Star Wars twenty-one times, 'slipping past ushers who'd begun to recognize me. . . ', becomes a meditation on the sorrow and solace of the solitary moviegoer.
Dissident Gardensby Jonathan Lethem
A dazzling novel from one of our finest writers--an epic yet intimate family saga about three generations of all-American radicalsAt the center of Jonathan Lethem's superb new novel stand two extraordinary women: Rose Zimmer, the aptly nicknamed Red Queen of Sunnyside, Queens, is an unreconstructed Communist who savages neighbors, family, and political comrades with the ferocity of her personality and the absolutism of her beliefs. Her precocious and willful daughter, Miriam, equally passionate in her activism, flees Rose's influence to embrace the dawning counterculture of Greenwich Village. These women cast spells over the men in their lives: Rose's aristocratic German Jewish husband, Albert; her cousin, the feckless chess hustler Lenny Angrush; Cicero Lookins, the brilliant son of her black cop lover; Miriam's (slightly fraudulent) Irish folksinging husband, Tommy Gogan; their bewildered son, Sergius. Flawed and idealistic, Lethem's characters struggle to inhabit the utopian dream in an America where radicalism is viewed with bemusement, hostility, or indifference. As the decades pass--from the parlor communism of the '30s, McCarthyism, the civil rights movement, ragged '70s communes, the romanticization of the Sandinistas, up to the Occupy movement of the moment--we come to understand through Lethem's extraordinarily vivid storytelling that the personal may be political, but the political, even more so, is personal. Lethem's characters may pursue their fates within History with a capital H, but his novel is--at its mesmerizing, beating heart--about love.From the Hardcover edition.
Dombey and Sonby Charles Dickens Jonathan Lethem
Dombey and Son, Charles Dickens's story of a powerful man whose callous neglect of his family triggers his professional and personal downfall, showcases the author's gift for vivid characterization and unfailingly realistic description. As Jonathan Lethem contends in his Introduction, Dickens's "genius . . . is at one with the genius of the form of the novel itself: Dickens willed into existence the most capacious and elastic and versatile kind of novel that could be, one big enough for his vast sentimental yearnings and for every impulse and fear and hesitation in him that countervailed those yearnings too. Never parsimonious and frequently contradictory, he always gives us everything he can, everything he's planned to give, and then more." This Modern Library Paperback Classic was set from the 1867 "Charles Dickens" edition.From the Trade Paperback edition.
The Ecstasy of Influenceby Jonathan Lethem
What's a novelist supposed to do with contemporary culture? And what's contemporary culture supposed to do with novelists? InThe Ecstasy of Influence, Jonathan Lethem, tangling with what he calls the 'white elephant' role of the writer as public intellectual, arrives at an astonishing range of answers. A constellation of previously published pieces and new essays as provocative and idiosyncratic as any he's written, this volume sheds light on an array of topics from sex in cinema to drugs, graffiti, Bob Dylan, cyberculture, 9/11, book touring and Marlon Brando. Then there are investigations of a shelf's worth of his literary models and contemporaries: Norman Mailer, Philip K. Dick, Bret Easton Ellis, James Wood, and others. And, writing about Brooklyn, his father, and his sojourn through two decades of writing, one of the greats of contemporary American literature sheds an equally strong light on himself. Funny and unfettered,The Ecstasy of Influencesimmers with direct challenges to conventional wisdom and deep insights into the kaleidoscopic nature of artistic vision, the primacy of the writer in the cultural marketplace, and the way the author's own experiences have fuelled his creative passions.
The Exegesis of Philip K. Dickby Philip K. Dick Jonathan Lethem Pamela Jackson
"A great and calamitous sequence of arguments with the universe: poignant, terrifying, ludicrous, and brilliant. The Exegesis is the sort of book associated with legends and madmen, but Dick wasn't a legend and he wasn't mad. He lived among us, and was a genius."--Jonathan Lethem. Based on thousands of pages of typed and handwritten notes, journal entries, letters, and story sketches, The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick is the magnificent and imaginative final work of an author who dedicated his life to questioning the nature of reality and perception, the malleability of space and time, and the relationship between the human and the divine. Edited and introduced by Pamela Jackson and Jonathan Lethem, this will be the definitive presentation of Dick's brilliant, and epic, final work. In The Exegesis, Dick documents his eight-year attempt to fathom what he called "2-3-74," a postmodern visionary experience of the entire universe "transformed into information." In entries that sometimes ran to hundreds of pages, Dick tried to write his way into the heart of a cosmic mystery that tested his powers of imagination and invention to the limit, adding to, revising, and discarding theory after theory, mixing in dreams and visionary experiences as they occurred, and pulling it all together in three late novels known as the VALIS trilogy. In this abridgment, Jackson and Lethem serve as guides, taking the reader through the Exegesis and establishing connections with moments in Dick's life and work. The e-book includes a sample chapter from A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Dick.
La fortaleza de la soledadby Jonathan Lethem
Esta es la historia de un chico negro y uno blanco: Dylan Ebdus y Mingus Rude, vecinos que comparten sus días y defienden su amistad a capa y espada desde un rincón de Nueva York. Ésta es la historia de su infancia en Brooklyn, un barrio habitado mayoritariamente por negros y en el que comienza a emerger una nueva clase blanca. Ésta es la historia de la América de los años setenta, cuando las decisiones más intrascendentes -qué música escuchar, qué zona ocupar en el autobús escolar, en qué bar desayunar- desataban conflictos raciales y políticos. Ésta es la historia de América veinte años más tarde, cuando a nadie parecen importarle ya estos asuntos. Ésta es la historia del punk o la revolución blanca, del crack o la plaga monstruosa, del nacimiento del graffiti y de la soledad del artista. Y ésta es la historia de lo que habría pasado si dos adolescentes obsesionados con superhéroes de cómic hubieran desarrollado poderes similares a los de los personajes de ficción. Ésta es la historia que Jonathan Lethem nació para contar. Esta es La Fortaleza de la Soledad.
The Fortress of Solitudeby Jonathan Lethem
From the prize-winning author of Motherless Brooklyn, a daring, riotous, sweeping novel that spins the tale of two friends and their adventures in late 20th-century America. This is the story of two boys, Dylan Ebdus and Mingus Rude. They live in Brooklyn and are friends and neighbours; but since Dylan is white and Mingus is black, their friendship is not simple. This is the story of 1970s America, a time when the simplest decisions - what music you listen to, whether to speak to the kid in the seat next to you, whether to give up your lunch money - are laden with potential political, social and racial disaster. This is also the story of 1990s America, when nobody cared anymore. This is the story of what would happen if two teenaged boys obsessed with comic book heroes actually had superpowers: they would screw up their lives.
Fridays at Enrico'sby Jonathan Lethem Don Carpenter
Don Carpenter was one of the finest novelists working in the west. His first novel, A Hard Rain Falling, first published in 1966, has been championed by Richard Price, and George Pelacanos who called it "a masterpiece...the definitive juvenile-delinquency novel and a damning indictment of our criminal justice system," is considered a classic. His novel A Couple of Comedians is thought by some the best novel about Hollywood ever written.He was a close friend of Evan Connell and other San Francisco writers, but his closest friendship was with Richard Brautigan, and when Brautigan killed himself, Carpenter tried for some time to write a biography of his remarkable, deeply troubled friend.He finally abandoned that in favor of writing a novel. Friday's at Enricos, the story of four writers living in Northern California and Portland during the early, heady days of the Beat scene. A time of youth and opportunity, this story mixes the excitement of beginning with the melancholy of ambition, often thwarted and never satisfied. Loss of innocence is only the first price you pay. These are people, men and women, tender with expectation, at risk and in love, and Carpenter also carefully draws a portrait of these two remarkable places, San Francisco and Portland, in the 50s and early 60s, when the writers and bohemians were busy creating the groundwork for what came to be the counterculture.Recently discovered in a complete penultimate manuscript, having been lost since the author's death, we re thrilled to see this book into print. A great champion of Don Carpenter, Jonathan Lethem, has taken on the task of editing and developing this last draft into the shape we imagine Carpenter would have himself accomplished had he lived to see this through. And Lethem provides a wonderful introduction to this book, to Carpenter, and to the broad influence of his work which resonates until this very day.
Girl in Landscapeby Jonathan Lethem
One the irrepressibly inventive Jonathan Lethem could weld science fiction and the Western into a mesmerizing novel of exploration and otherness, sexual awakening and loss. At the age of 13 Pella Marsh loses her mother and her home on the scorched husk that is planet Earth. Her sorrowing family emigrates to the Planet of the Archbuilders, whose mysterious inhabitants have names like Lonely Dumptruck and Hiding Kneel--and a civilization that and frightens their human visitors. On this new world, spikily independent Pella becomes as uneasy envoy between two species. And at the same time is unwilling drawn to a violent loner who embodies all the paranoid machismo of the frontier ethic. Combining the tragic grandeur of John Ford's The Searchers and the sexual tension of Lolita and transporting them to a planet light years, Girl in Landscape is a tour de force. From the Trade Paperback edition.
Gun, with Occasional Musicby Jonathan Lethem
Gumshoe Conrad Metcalf has problems-there's a rabbit in his waiting room and a trigger-happy kangaroo on his tail. Near-future Oakland is a brave new world where evolved animals are members of society, the police monitor citizens by their karma levels, and mind-numbing drugs such as Forgettol and Acceptol are all the rage. Metcalf has been shadowing Celeste, the wife of an affluent doctor. Perhaps he's falling a little in love with her at the same time. When the doctor turns up dead, our amiable investigator finds himself caught in a crossfire between the boys from the Inquisitor's Office and gangsters who operate out of the back room of a bar called the Fickle Muse. Mixing elements of sci-fi, noir, and mystery, this clever first novel from the author of Motherless Brooklyn is a wry, funny, and satiric look at all that the future may hold.
Huérfanos de Brooklynby Jonathan Lethem
Una original y brillante novela policíaca por uno de los autores más aclamados de su generación. «Tengo el síndrome de Tourette». Las palabras salen atropellándose, incontrolables, y las manos no pueden evitar tocar impulsiva y compulsivamente todo lo que tengan cerca. Es el sino de Lionel Essrog, criado en un orfanato y que, junto con sus tres amigos de la infancia, trabaja para un mafiosillo local, Frank Minna, en una agencia ilegal de detectives. El asesinato de Frank le obligará a sumergirse en la trama, compleja y llena de sombras, de relaciones, amenazas y favores que conforman el Brooklyn que él creía conocer tan bien y donde nadie es lo que parece. Huérfanos de Brooklyn supera con creces lo que podríamos considerar una novela negra, subvierte el género y le confiere nuevos matices hasta lograr un texto sumamente original. FONDO DE EDITOR«Huérfanos de Brooklyn, con su protagonista inolvidable, el detectiveafectado por el síndrome de Tourette, convirtió a Jonathan Lethem en unautor de referencia. Con este homenaje a las novelas clásicas del géneropolicial ganó el premio Nacional de la Crítica en los Estados Unidos.»Sigue la conversación con el editor en @claudiothelopez La crítica ha dicho...«En parte novela de detectives y en parte fantasía literaria, Huérfanos de Brooklyn compagina magistralmente una bella prosa y una trama absorbente.»The Wall Street Journal «Otro gran divertimento de Lethem, uno de los narradores contemporáneos más inspirado y que asume mayores riesgos. No se pierdan esta novela.»Kirkus Reviews «La mejor novela del año [1999]. Absolutamente original y hondamente conmovedora.»Esquire «Jonathan Lethem es una de las voces más originales entre los jóvenes escritores estadounidenses... Su imaginación es maravillosamentefértil.»Newsday «Un tour de force.»Boston Globe
It Happened In Boston?by Jonathan Lethem Russell Greenan
First published by Random House in 1968, Russell H. Greenan's It Happened in Boston? is the story of a brilliantly talented, unbalanced artist who strives to meet God face-to-face in order to destroy Him. It is "a magic spell of a book--phantasmagoric, lushly written, full of unforgettable characters and brilliant twists of plot," writes Jonathan Lethem in his Introduction. With a vivid depiction of the art world and a breathtaking narrative that incorporates forgery, time travel, and murder, Greenan's hilarious and disturbing debut novel--now an underground cult classic--is ripe for rediscovery.
Los Jardines de la Disidenciaby Jonathan Lethem
Los Jardines de la Disidencia sigue la vida de tres generaciones de neoyorquinos que no responden al prototipo del patriota estadounidense, puesto que son comunistas, hippies y activistas políticos. Rose Zimmer es conocida en Queens como la Reina Roja de Sunnyside por ser una comunista reaccionaria que importuna a familia, vecinos y camaradas políticos con su carácter feroz y su radical intransigencia. Su hija Miriam, que comparte el carácter obstinado de su madre, huye de su sofocante influencia para abrazar los albores de la contracultura de la Era de Acuario en Greenwich Village. La vida de estas dos mujeres es el eje central de un desfile de personajes imperfectos e idealistas que luchan por alcanzar el sueño utópico de una América donde el radicalismo es recibido con desconcierto, hostilidad o indiferencia. A través de sus vidas vemos cómo un movimiento revolucionario sucede al anterior: el auge comunista de los años treinta, la caza de brujas de la era McCarthy, el movimiento en defensa de los derechos civiles, las andrajosas comunas de los setenta y el conflicto sandinista hasta llegar al actual Ocupa Wall Street. En este viaje a lo largo de las décadas, la estimulante prosa de Lethem nos recuerda que lo personal puede ser político, pero que lo político siempre es personal. «Lethem es tan ambicioso como Mailer, tan divertido como Philip Roth y tan agudo como Bob Dylan [. . . ]. En Los Jardines de la Disidencia se muestra en plena posesión de sus facultades como novelista. » Los Angeles Times
Lit Riffsby J. T. LeRoy Jonathan Lethem Amanda Davis Touré Aimee Bender Neal Pollack Matthew Miele Heidi Julavitz Tom Perrotta Lester Bangs
Following in the footsteps of the late great Lester Bangs -- the most revered and irreverent of rock 'n' roll critics -- twenty-four celebrated writers have penned stories inspired by great songs. Just as Bangs cast new light on a Rod Stewart classic with his story "Maggie May," about a wholly unexpected connection between an impressionable young man and an aging, alcoholic hooker, the diverse, electrifying stories here use songs as a springboard for a form dubbed the lit riff. Alongside Bangs's classic work, you'll find stories by J.T. LeRoy, who puts a recovering teenage drug abuser in a dentist's chair with nothing but the Foo Fighters's "Everlong" -- blaring through the P.A. -- to fight the pain; Jonathan Lethem, whose narrator looks back on his lost innocence just as an extramarital affair careens to an end -- this to the tune "Speeding Motorcycle" as recorded by Yo La Tengo; and Jennifer Belle, who envisions a prequel to Paul Simon's "Graceland" -- one that takes place at a children's birthday party replete with a real live kangaroo. With original contributions from Tom Perrotta, Nelson George, Amanda Davis, Lisa Tucker, Aimee Bender, Darin Strauss, and many more -- riffing on everyone from Tom Waits and Bruce Springsteen to the White Stripes, Cat Power, and Bob Marley -- this is both an astounding collection of short stories and an extraordinary experiment in words and music. Soundtrack available from Saturation Acres Music & Recording Co.
Lucky Alanby Jonathan Lethem
The incomparable Jonathan Lethem returns with nine stories that demonstrate his mastery of the short form.Jonathan Lethem's third collection of stories uncovers a father's nervous breakdown at SeaWorld in "Pending Vegan"; a foundling child rescued from the woods during a blizzard in "Traveler Home"; a political prisoner in a hole in a Brooklyn street in "Procedure in Plain Air"; and a crumbling, haunted "blog" on a seaside cliff in "The Dreaming Jaw, The Salivating Ear." Each of these locates itself in Lethem-land, which can be discovered only by visiting. As in his celebrated novels, Lethem finds the uncanny lurking in the mundane, the irrational self-defeat seeping through our upstanding pursuits, and the tragic undertow of the absurd world(s) in which we live. Devoted fans of Lethem will recognize familiar themes: the anxiety of influence taken to reductio ad absurdum in "The King of Sentences"; a hapless, horny outsider summoning bravado in "The Porn Critic"; characters from forgotten comics stranded on a desert island in "Their Back Pages." As always in Lethem, humor and poignancy work in harmony, humans strive desperately for connection, words find themselves misaligned to deeds, and the sentences are glorious.From the Hardcover edition.
The Man Who Lost the Seaby Paul Williams Jonathan Lethem Theodore Sturgeon
By the winner of the Hugo, the Nebula, and the World Fantasy Life Achievement Awards, this latest volume finds Theodore Sturgeon in fine form as he gains recognition for the first time as a literary short story writer. Written between 1957 and 1960, when Sturgeon and his family lived in both America and Grenada, finally settling in Woodstock, New York, these stories reflect his increasing preference for psychology over ray guns. Stories such as "The Man Who Told Lies," "A Touch of Strange," and "It Opens the Sky" show influences as diverse as William Faulkner and John Dos Passos. Always in touch with the zeitgeist, Sturgeon takes on the Russian Sputnik launches of 1957 with "The Man Who Lost the Sea," switching the scene to Mars and injecting his trademark mordancy and vivid wordplay into the proceedings. These mature stories also don't stint on the scares, as "The Graveyard Reader"--one of Boris Karloff's favorite stories--shows. Acclaimed novelist Jonathan Lethem's foreword neatly summarizes Sturgeon's considerable achievement here.
The Man Who Was Thursdayby G. K. Chesterton Jonathan Lethem
G. K. Chesterton's surreal masterpiece is a psychological thriller that centers on seven anarchists in turn-of-the-century London who call themselves by the names of the days of the week. Chesterton explores the meanings of their disguised identities in what is a fascinating mystery and, ultimately, a spellbinding allegory. As Jonathan Lethem remarks in his Introduction, The real characters are the ideas. Chesterton's nutty agenda is really quite simple: to expose moral relativism and parlor nihilism for the devils he believes them to be. This wouldn't be interesting at all, though, if he didn't also show such passion for giving the devil his due. He animates the forces of chaos and anarchy with every ounce of imaginative verve and rhetorical force in his body.From the Trade Paperback edition.
A Meaningful Lifeby Jonathan Lethem L. J. Davis
L.J. Davis's 1971 novel, A Meaningful Life, is a blistering black comedy about the American quest for redemption through real estate and a gritty picture of New York City in collapse. Just out of college, Lowell Lake, the Western-born hero of Davis's novel, heads to New York, where he plans to make it big as a writer. Instead he finds a job as a technical editor, at which he toils away while passion leaks out of his marriage to a nice Jewish girl. Then Lowell discovers a beautiful crumbling mansion in a crime-ridden section of Brooklyn, and against all advice, not to mention his wife's will, sinks his every penny into buying it. He quits his job, moves in, and spends day and night on demolition and construction. At last he has a mission: he will dig up the lost history of his house; he will restore it to its past grandeur. He will make good on everything that's gone wrong with his life, and he will even murder to do it.From the Trade Paperback edition.

Matt Ryan went 26-32, 353 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT against Tampa. The Bucs are physical, but yards in the air seem to be there if Peyton wants them.
Fascinating that the vote is so close on the Redskins. I guess last week turned some heads. And it's in DC. But FedEx ain't RFK and the Jints defense will not be giving RGIII any time. I hope he doesn't get hurt trying to do too much.
Gosh Oakland is terrible.
I luvs me some Niners but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the Lambs at home. They have a sneaky way of making these games closer than they should be. Just look at what happened 3 weeks ago.
I'm hoping that the council is correct and that the Kaeper cements his status as the starter and ends all talk of a QB controversy the way it should be ended...with a superb performance against a divisional rival on the road.

New Delhi promised to build hundreds of public toilets for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Only 9 were built, and none of them are functioning. This short report from Al Jazeera's Sohail Rahman highlights the fact that over 50 per cent of Indians have no access to clean toilets. It focuses on the lack of facilities in India's growing cities and in schools. The report features rural development minister Jairam Ramesh, the inevitable Bindeshwar Pathak of Sulabh International and UNICEF India's Suzanne Coates.

How to Install an In-Ground Flagpole
Let your patriotic spirit fly from your front lawn with this weekend project
Long before fiberglass or extruded aluminum, craftsmen working in spar yards used lathes to turn wooden flagpoles—masts with landlubber destinies. Honoring this tradition, flagpole terminology still twists nautical: Flags are raised by sheaves (pulleys) and halyards (ropes) that are secured on cleats. Some poles even have double or step masts, yardarms (crossbars) and gaffs (extra spars perpendicular to the yardarms).
Although wood is the most historically authentic material for a flagpole, it is also the most expensive. Here are some less costly options:
Fiberglass: The best fiberglass poles have a UV-resistant finish and are constructed with the majority of fibers running vertically; fibers that run horizontally make the pole weaker and can cause failure. Fiberglass poles are available in various colors and are light, easy to install and maintenance-free. The rigging can be run inside the pole to eliminate the sound of slapping halyards. Most models do not make lowering easy, however.
Standard Aluminum: Although light, easy to install and available with internal rigging—no halyards to clang against metal—some painted aluminum poles chip, leaving uncoated spots that may stain. The most durable finish is clear-coated brushed metal, which often looks incongruous against a white clapboard house.
Telescoping Aluminum: The sight of retracting buttons and joints may not enhance the elegance of a pole's silhouette, but telescoping models are easily portable. Putting them up or taking them down requires only a few minutes.

There was a recent forum thread in Civil Aviation regarding the decision to go with the 69.4 inch fan on the next, next, next generation 737 (AKA the 737MAX). In it there was a statement that increasing fan diameter increases drag. I would like a little clarification. As the fan is part of the propulsion system it sounds like we are not talking about drag for the aircraft itself but rather drag within the the engine itself. In other words it would take a more powerful high pressure section to drive a larger fan?
In addition, what are the tradeoffs (in general) with larger versus smaller fan diameters?

I am a beginner. I have developed website in Php/MySql. But my home page takes some more time to load in some of the browsers
Check this http://www.direct2deal.com
Can Mysql stored procedures help me? I don't know the concepts of stored procedures. If any buddy in group knows
pl. help me
Its very urgent. Your feedback/suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Re: Urgent: Site takes higher loading time...
First of all I would like to welcome you to this Wonderful community of programmers.
What version of MySQL you are using. If you are using 4.x version of MySQL it does not support stored procedures but its just 5.0 that supports.
I dont think it can help much the problem area is something different.
On the home page you are almost showing 50 Recods but if you can reduce that it will load faster as 50 records nees 50 + images to be loaded. Show only 10-15 and it should be fine.

Re: Urgent: Site takes higher loading time...
I guess you have put too much content on your homepage, it takes ages to scroll down to the end, it would be faster if you show your content in a categorized manner on the homepage. It takes time to fetch data & render it, and as you have tons of data on your homepage, it takes time to load.

Big Wave Trading Portfolio Update And Top Current Holdings 0 comments
The Big Wave Trading Model remains under a BUY signal with very little data weighing against its current signal. The stock market climbed higher, across the board, this week and despite the lower volume there remains very little to zero selling pressure in the current tape.
Friday's intraday action confirms that above analysis as a morning gap lower found support early on the SP-500 and DJIA and mid-day for the Nasdaq. This kind of action, following a gap lower, is very constructive and says a lot about the strength in this market considering how extended the major averages are from their respective 200 day moving averages.
We are not in the business of attempting to call tops at Big Wave Trading. We simply move like water with the market. As the market's trend flows upward, we will ride that wave accordingly. When the shift comes, we will be quick to hedge our positions and sell off securities that violate trailing cut loss levels or key moving averages. Despite the strong market and our success this year, we have no interest in trying to limit the gains by trying to anticipate a turn in the market here.
Therefore, there is nothing to do here, currently, but ride the trend higher until it does turn. When we see another day like 5/22 we will start a hedge and then operate around that hedge according to the price action in the market. Right now, we have a lot of momentum inherent in this market and based on past historical strength like this, we expect more bases to be formed in the coming months and a resolution to the upside. However, we are not betting on this information and only using it as a possible guide to the upcoming rest of the year. If the market begins a selloff, starts making lower highs and lower lows, with leading stocks breaking down hard, we will be very quick to sell out our long positions and move to the short side.
However, in this tape, betting on the short side has continuously been a losing proposition and not one we are interested in entertaining as long as the fed's liquidity injections via POMO/ZIRP/QE continues. One day the uptrend will end and when it does the short side will be extremely profitable to trend traders. For now, though, the trend is up and I will be more than happy to ride it much higher if it does have much higher to go before the inevitable sell off happens. I would not mind at all if this market went parabolic before climaxing and reversing lower. It would make for a much more profitable venture for our current long positions and give us a better base to begin our short side work on.
Right now, that is all forward thinking and planning. The reality of today is a market that is hitting new highs on low volume with no sellers above. To bet against a continuation of this trend would be to make a major gamble against history. One day we will not hit new highs. Until that day happens, I do not advise fighting this tape. I know a lot of traders that decided to do this on 5/22. I got a lot of messages and emails telling me that 5/22 was the top. How do you think these "traders" feel now? Based on my near 20 years of doing this for a living, I can tell you almost for sure that they more-than-likely still believe they are right. Too bad the stock market doesn't care about what they believe.
Either you want to be right or you want to make money. Which is it? I can tell you which one we focus on at Big Wave Trading. I hope you are choosing correctly. If not sooner or later your bottom line results will let you know if you chose correctly.
Have a great rest of your weekend and I wish you all the best during this upcoming week. Aloha from the gorgeous island of Maui where all of us that live here are 100% grateful to call this our home.

While a moratorium is technically in place, the county can't officially implement the law without holding a public forum. People who live in the county offered their opinions on the moratorium that would prohibit the sale, growth and distribution of cannabis for a minimum of six months.
"There are still dry counties in America post-prohibition," said Asotin County resident, Rick Rogers. "Those county commissioners have chosen to have dry counties because that's what their people want. I think we should be a dry county."
"Historically, to put your head in the sand on any issue, is certainly not proactive, but does not promote good management on that issue," said Clarkston resident Mark Rudd. "And as a member of the zoning board I am eager to get going with the process."
During the six month hold, the Zoning and Planning Commission will sort through the different regulations put into law by Initiative-502.
The biggest concern at this point is finding all the possible locations that pot sellers and growers can open up shop within the county.
Based on population, Asotin County is eligible to have two pot retail stores.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - A district judge has refused to allow plaintiffs who have accused an obstetrician of malpractice to see the hospital's peer reviews of the doctor.
The lawsuit was brought late last year by Thomas Smith and Irene Dockray both of Las Cruces.
Smith claims his wife, Deborah, died following childbirth because Dr. Lorraine Martinez refused to treat a deadly infection until it was too late. Dockray claims Martinez botched her hysterectomy, leaving her with a permanent physical injury.
The two plaintiffs also charge that the Memorial Medical Center was negligent in keeping Martinez on staff after receiving numerous complaints from nurses about her.
Martinez, who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology, treated patients at Memorial Medical from 1994 until Nov. 30, when she allegedly failed to treat a woman in difficult labor and the woman's baby died. Martinez was suspended the next day.
In a hearing Friday, District Judge Thomas Cornish ruled that a hospital peer review committee's reports on Martinez are confidential under state law.
"Nothing that went on inside the (peer review) meeting will be disclosed," the judge said. But he ordered the hospital to provide minutes from the meetings for him to review privately.
The plaintiffs' attorneys wanted to see the peer reviews to learn about problems with Martinez's other patients.
Las Cruces attorney William Webber said the files might show the hospital had ignored earlier complaints about Martinez.
Winifred Carson, an attorney for the American Nurses Association, said nurses at the hospital told her they had provided written and verbal complaints to supervisors about Martinez since 1995.
But Cornish said no such complaints were found in the files and vice president of the hospital, Karen Dawson, testified she had heard of no complaints against Martinez.
"Where did they go?" Carson asked. "Did supervisors not share them with management? Did management ignore them?"
Cornish also agreed with the plaintiffs' request to set out rules for their attorneys to talk with nurses, who were afraid of retaliation by the hospital if they testified for the plaintiffs.
The judge said nurses below the managerial level were free to speak to attorneys for either side without fear of retaliation.
The plaintiffs claim the hospital was trying to silence nurses on the case when it called them together for meetings in the days following Deborah Smith's death.
Hospital attorneys have said the meetings were debriefings meant to help the nurses deal with their grief.

An AC system is a delicate system that requires regular maintenance and look after for a long lasting and uninterrupted performance. The system gets a little bit of extra burden to work fast and longer period of times in summer, when the days are long and hot. In these days, such systems require more attention and maintenance than before. In Australia, many of the top rated AC service providing companies and contractors offer service packages and regular maintenance offers to help you maintain the AC systems in a good condition. There are many ways that can be used for the sake of maintaining an AC system. But we can never maintain a cooling system if its not being installed perfectly. Proper air conditioning installation is the key to enjoy and maintain a quality cooling system. This also comes under the maintenance checklist. As if you haven't got it installed properly, there is no chance it will let you enjoy the cool interior of your room and you will have to face a lot issues during the time when you need your AC the most.
If you want to see, how aircon installation plays a great role in determining the way it will be managed and for a better understanding what people have faced if they have ignored the maintenance, go through the points below:
Leakage of air ducts
If during the regular maintenance you don't look for the leakages, you may be missing an important aspect of maintaining an AC. The performance of ducted air conditioning installation can be affected majorly due to the leakage of the air ducts.
Corrosion can also be a result of the faulty cleaning of the ACs. In addition to the slight corrosion problems, if the AC is not being handled properly and maintain on a regular basis the majpr parts may also get into corrosion issues. Most of the experts who deal with the air conditioner installation or specifically air conditioning installation Sydney consider regular maintenance as an essential practice for a corrosion free AC system.
Uncleaned parts
Some parts of an AC require you to clean them regularly, especially when they are in use for most of the time. If you didn't do so, then you must be having issues in the near future.

Wes Gullett, Phoenix Mayor Hopeful, Getting Fund-Raising Help From Arizona Cardinals
Candidates in the race for Phoenix mayor are tapping pockets across the Valley to build their campaign war chests.
The Arizona Guardian reported that one candidate, Wes Gullett, is getting a little help from Arizona Cardinals President and CEO Michael Bidwill and the team's star receiver Larry Fitzgerald.
Guardian reporter Dennis Welch wrote that Bidwill hosted a fundraiser for Gullett at his Paradise Valley home -- and Fitzgerald added a little star power to the event.
All told, the Cards prez helped pull in $20,000 for Gullett, a founding partner of FirstStrategic, Communications and Public Affairs, a well-known Valley lobbying firm. And not surprisingly, the Arizona Cardinals are clients.

Clients or not, we wouldn't expect to the see the Cards exec backing former Deputy Attorney General Greg Stanton, who is also running for mayor. After all, when Stanton served on the City Council (prior to becoming deputy AG), he was not a champion of using city funds to build the team a massive 63,000-seat stadium in downtown Phoenix.
"I opposed the football stadium, I voted against it," Stanton told bloomingrock.com in September. "And the reason is that we had limited resources. We had a choice, either to get the football stadium or put money into this Bioscience research center. I was the chair of the committee that oversaw the process and ultimately said that it was smarter for Phoenix in the long run."
IAs it turns out, it was a good call -- evidently -- because there isn't a local politician alive who doesn't try to get a little credit for making education the cornerstone of downtown Phoenix.
The Guardian also reports that Gullett wants to raise about $1 million for the August election; that council members Claude Mattox and Peggy Neely, who are contemplating a run for mayors, have raised $300,000 and $200,000, respectively.

Opensuse 11.2 Last Beta
The now released test version of openSUSE 11.2 is to be the last beta. The first release candidate will appear mid-October.
Andreas Jaeger has announced the eighth and last milestone for openSUSE 11.2, which provides, with some exceptions, the complete theme of KDE and GNOME and includes the final Kernel 2.6.31. GNOME 2.28 will still be the release candidate version only. Other central components include:
- OpenOffice 3.1.1
- PulseAudio 0.9.17
- Samba 3.4.1
- PostgreSQL 8.4.1
As in most pre-versions, milestone 8 includes a series of known bugs. Thus OpenOffice doesn't quite integrate with KDE4, and LVM has some problems at installation, with no developer available in the meantime to resolve it. Users of an Intel WLAN card with the 4965 chipset will also get some unpleasant results in that the WLAN won't work.

Cable barriers added to highway after fatal crashUPDATED 5:45 PM CST Nov 19, 2013
The last few years, the Iowa Department of Transportation has been installing more cable barriers in medians across Iowa.Video Transcript
Also new at 5: Three years after a deadly crash near Norwalk, changes have been made along the road in hopes of avoiding another disaster. Eric Hanson takes us to the stretch of road between Norwalk and Des Moines, where D-O-T crews just wrapped up their work. THE LAST FEW YEARS, THE D-O-T HAS BEEN INSTALLING MORE CABLE BARRIERS IN MEDIANS ACROSS IOWA. BUT WITHIN THE LAST WEEK, THEY WRAPPED UP A PROJECT THAT'S BEEN PERSONAL FOR ONE CENTRAL IOWA FAMILY. BECAUSE THREE YEARS AGO IN AUGUST, 18 YEAR OLD JENNIFER LETZE WAS KILLED IN A VIOLENT HEAD-ON CRASH RIGHT HERE. SHE WAS A PASSENGER IN A JEEP. A MERCURY MARQUIS COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION CROSSED THE CENTER LINE AND HIT THEM HEAD ON. LET-ZEE'S BOYFRIEND JOSH AND ANOTHER FRIEND WERE INJURED IN THE CRASH. A YEAR LATER, AT A REMEMBERAN CE, JOSH WAS STILL HEALING. "i've got four plates around my eye and two plates here. I broke my jaw and my femur and a gash all the way to the bone..." "...and when I saw the pictures of what the car looked like, I was amazed I was still here." BUT THAT ANNIVERSARY GATHERING WASN'T JUST TO LOOK BACK. JENNIFER'S MOM CALLED FOR A CHANGE. "I would like to see a barrier. A wire barrier in the median so it would prevent cars from crossing over the highway around that curve." "I don't want anybody else to go through this." THIS WEEK, THREE YEARS AFTER THE CRASH THAT TOOK JENNIFER'S LIFE, THOSE CABLE BARRIERS WENT UP ON THIS CURVE IN HIGHWAY 28 - TO HOLD BACK ANY OTHER CARS THAT START DRIFTING INTO THE WRONG LANES. NEAR NORWALK, ERIC HANSON, KCCI 8 NEWS, IOWA'S NEWS LEADER. The D-O-T has told us they plan to add about 20 more miles of cable barriers every year here in Iowa.
