Stay (04/18/2012) - After twelve (12) years of staying at the Villas, they are still the perfect place to call home! We are away from the madness of the cruise ships and centrally located to restaurants and activities. The updating is beautiful and the pool is wonderful. Our next trip will be in May 2013. We are looking forward to it! Zuri and Miguel are wonderful!
Warren & Glenda S. ~ Houston, TX
Stay (03/02/2013) - This is such a difficult time every year to leave behind our lovely home in Cozumel. Every year, we are greeted with a big smile from Miguel and every day is a wonderful day to be greeted by Zuri, who has become our friend over the years. The diving is like no other and our dive friends from around the entire country have become closer to us than our friends at home! :-) Thank you to everyone who (again) made our trip very special.
Alan & Lori B. ~ Des Moines, IA
(01/02/2016) - IslaMar is a great place set back from the beachfront and big resorts. It is living in Mexico, if you get my drift. IslaMar is back perhaps 6 or 7 blocks from the resorts. We wanted something different this time. I loved being back with the local vibe. There are restaurants with amazing food back here. You walk to them. We walked at night through the narrow streets and visited with the friendly people. We felt safe. I'm not telling you what to do, I'm just telling you what we did. We also rented a small car and went to the beach every day. We found our dollars went a long ways in the grocery store. No place is too far away on Cozumel. Christmas Night we wandered into a park with an amphitheater. There was a clown performing. There were perhaps 200 locals there and we saw one other gringo. I loved being there and watching these beautiful people. They all seemed glad to see us. Is it for everybody? Probly not. There is a nice little clean pool, but nobody is going to bring you a margarita. If you have a hankering for fries at midnight, not going to happen. If you are set on a resort, this is not your place. But If you want to stay in a beautiful affordable villa with super cleaning and other services and run by great folks in the middle of town, you should try this. I love it and can't wait to go back!
R. & C. Coburn ~ Terry, MT USA
Stay (02/19/2013) - This has been an awesome little vacation spot. A very special thank you to all of the staff here. Zuri has added a great sense of humor and a very welcoming personality. She has been a ray of sunshine. Miguel, thank you for attending our every need including Sunday evening when he stopped by to check our fridge when he was obviously on his way out with him family. Exceptional service!!! Sherri and Mauricio, thank you for sharing this little piece of heaven with us. You are a special couple and know what great service is all about, we will definitely recommend this to others.
Darcy R. & Burke D. ~ Calgary, Canada
Stay (02/23/2013) - This has been an awesome three (3) months in Cozumel. So sad to go home. Thank you Zuri for everything, you are wonderful. Sherri, you have a great group of people working for you. Thank you very much for everything. Hopefully I will return. I love all the people I met, from everywhere. This is really paradise!!!

Sina (SINA +11%) has received both an upgrade to Buy from BofA, and a downgrade to Hold from Jefferies, after beating Q2 EPS estimates thanks to improving margins and slowing opex growth. Jefferies doesn't like the fact Sina's portal ad revenue grew only 1.5% Y/Y, thanks to macro conditions and share losses, and that Weibo enterprise account adds are missing targets. Also cautious is Goldman, which is worried Weibo ad sales are cannibalizing portal revenue. But with Sina well off its highs, bulls have the upper hand.

High power Selective Laser Melting (HP SLM) of aluminum partsD. Buchbinder | H. Schleifenbaum | S. Heidrich | W. Meiners | J. Bültmann
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 271-278
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is one of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies that enables the production of light weight structured components with series identical mechanical properties without the need for part specific tooling or downstream sintering processes, etc. Especially aluminum is suited for such eco-designed components due to its low weight and superior mechanical and chemical properties. However, SLM's state-of-the-art process and cost efficiency is not yet suited for series-production. In order to improve this efficiency it is indispensable to increase the build rate significantly. Thus, aluminum is qualified for high build rate applications using a new prototype machine tool including a 1 kW laser and a multi-beam system. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Metal ablation with short and ultrashort laser pulsesKarl Heinz Leitz | Benjamin Redlingshöer | Yvonne Reg | Andreas Otto | Michael Schmidt
Volume 12, Issue PART 2, June 2011, Pages 230-238
In laser microstructuring there is a general conflict between precision and efficiency. Short pulsed micro- and nanosecond systems generally allow high ablation rates. Yet, thermal damage of the workpiece cannot be avoided completely. Ultrafast picoand femtosecond systems allow a higher precision, yet at lower ablation efficiency. This on the one hand can be attributed to the generally lower medium laser power of the ultrafast laser systems, on the other hand to the changed ablation mechanisms. In this contribution a comparative study of the ablation of metal with micro-, nano-, pico- and femtosecond laser pulses shall be presented. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Surface morphology in selective laser melting of metal powdersI. Yadroitsev | I. Smurov
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 264-270
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a powder-based additive manufacturing capable to produce parts layer-by-layer from a 3D CAD model. Currently there is a growing interest in industry for applying this technology for generating objects with high geometrical complexity. To introduce SLM process into industry for manufacturing real components, high mechanical properties of final product must be achieved. Properties of the manufactured parts depend strongly on each single laser-melted track and each single layer, as well as the strength of the connections between them. In this study, effects of the processing parameters such as hatch distance on surface morphology are analyzed. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Numerical simulations- A versatile approach for better understanding dynamics in laser material processingAndreas Otto | Holger Koch | Karl Heinz Leitz | Michael Schmidt
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 11-20
This paper gives an overview on the potentials of numerical simulations for understanding dynamics in laser material processing. After a short introduction into the model, simulation results on several processes like laser beam deep penetration welding, drilling or cutting are presented. Furthermore simulation results are compared with experimentally obtained data. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Laser ablation of CFRP using picosecond laser pulses at different wavelengths from UV to IRAlexander Wolynski | Thomas Herrmann | Patrick Mucha | Hatim Haloui | Johannes L'huillier
Volume 12, Issue PART 2, June 2011, Pages 292-301
Laser processing of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP) has a great industrial relevance for high performance structural parts in airplanes, machine tools and cars. Through-holes drilled by nanosecond laser pulses show thermal induced molten layers and voids. Recently, picosecond lasers have demonstrated the ability to drill high-efficient and high-quality rivet through-holes. In this paper a high-power picosecond laser system operating at different wavelengths (355 nm, 532 nm and 1064 nm) has been used for CFRP ablation experiments to study the influence of different laser parameters in terms of machining quality and processing time. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Effects of radial and tangential polarization in laser material processingRudolf Weber | Andreas Michalowski | Marwan Abdou-Ahmed | Volkher Onuseit | Volker Rominger | Martin Kraus | Thomas Graf
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 21-30
The polarization state of a laser beam has a strong influence on the process in almost any kind of laser material processing. The benefit of material processing with cylindrical polarization was described by several authors. Recently, intra-cavity polarization generation and extra-cavity polarization conversion for industry-level high-power lasers were presented. The present paper gives an overview over the state of the art and the latest results for cutting, welding and drilling achieved at the IFSW of the University of Stuttgart. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Influence of the pulse duration in the ps-regime on the ablation efficiency of metalsB. Jaeggi | B. Neuenschwander | M. Schmid | M. Muralt | J. Zuercher | U. Hunziker
Volume 12, Issue PART 2, June 2011, Pages 164-171
Ablation characteristics of copper and stainless steel with laser pulses from 10 to 100 ps at 1064 nm wavelength were studied. The influence of the pulse duration and the number of pulses on the threshold fluence and the penetration depth has been investigated. The results show a strong decrease of the ablation efficiency and quality with increasing pulse duration. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Scribing of thin-film solar cells with picosecond laser pulsesPaulius Gecys | Gediminas Raciukaitis | Eimantas Miltenisa | Alexander Braun | Steffen Ragnow
Volume 12, Issue PART 2, June 2011, Pages 141-148
The thin-film CIGS technologies for photovoltaics are attractive due to their potential low cost and optimal performance. Efficiency of cells with a large area might be maintained if small segments are interconnected in series in order to reduce photocurrent in thin films and resistance losses, and laser scribing process is crucial for performance of the device. We present our results on scribing of CIGS thin-film solar cells with single and multiple parallel laser beams with the picosecond pulse duration. Solar-cell performance tests were performed before and after laser scribing together with Raman spectroscopy analysis. The quality of processing was evaluated with optical and scanning electron microscopes. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Laser cladding of vanadium-carbide tool steels for die repairJ. Leunda | C. Soriano | C. Sanz | V. García Navas
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 345-352
A study of the laser cladding of powder metallurgical tool steels has been carried out. CPM 10V and Vanadis 4 Extra tool steel powders have been deposited on Vanadis 4 Extra tool steel plates, for repairing purposes, using a Nd:YAG laser. The microstructure of the laser cladding samples was investigated using optical and scanning electron microscopes. The volumetric fraction of retained austenite was evaluated by X-ray diffraction and microhardness profiles were measured. Crack free 700 HV 0.3 cladding tracks were achieved with both materials and coatings show a microstructure of carbides embedded in a martensite plus retained austenite matrix. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Volume 17, Issue , December 2011, Pages 159-167
The measurement of the neutron electric dipole moment (nEDM) constrains the contribution of CP-violating terms within both the Standard Model and its extensions. The experiment uses ultracold neutrons (UCN) stored in vacuum at room temperature. This technique provided the last (and best) limit by the RAL/Sussex/ILL collaboration in 2006: dn < 2.9 × 10 -26 e cm (90% C.L.). We aim to improve the experimental sensitivity by a factor of 5 within 2-3 years, using an upgrade of the same apparatus. We will take advantage of the increased ultracold neutron density at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and of a new concept including both, external magnetometers and a cohabiting magnetometer. In parallel, a next generation apparatus with two UCN storage chambers and an elaborate magnetic field control is being designed aiming to achieve another order of magnitude increase in sensitivity, allowing us to put a limit as tight as dn < 5 × 10 -28 e cm (95% C.L.), if not establishing a finite value. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
Design of an optical system for the in situ process monitoring of Selective Laser Melting (SLM)Philipp Lott | Henrich Schleifenbaum | Wilhelm Meiners | Konrad Wissenbach | Christian Hinke | Jan Bültmann
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 683-690
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an Additive Manufacturing technology that enables the production of complex shaped individual parts with series identical mechanical properties. Areas of improvement are up to now quality and reproducibility of parts made by SLM due to different kinds of errors. Therefore the integration of a monitoring and control module into a SLM-machine is aspired. The design of such an optical system capable of monitoring high scanning velocities and melt pool dynamics is introduced as a first step. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Microstructure and mechanical properties of selective laser melted 18Ni-300 steelK. Kempen | E. Yasa | L. Thijs | J. P. Kruth | J. Van Humbeeck
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 255-263
Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an Additive Manufacturing process in which a part is built in a layer by layer manner. A laser source selectively scans the powder bed according to the CAD data of the part to be produced. The high intensity laser beam makes it possible to completely melt the metal powder particles to obtain almost fully dense parts. In this work, the influence of process parameters in SLM (e.g. scan speed and layer thickness) and various age hardening treatments on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 18Ni-300 steel is investigated. It is shown that almost fully dense parts with mechanical properties comparable to those of conventionally produced maraging steel 300 can be produced by SLM. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Laser beam welding of hard to weld Al alloys for a regional aircraft fuselage design- First resultsDirk Dittrich | Jens Standfuss | Jens Liebscher | Berndt Brenner | Eckhard Beyer
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 113-122
Light weight design of fuselage structures is a major goal for future aircrafts to reduce structural weight for increased efficiency regarding fuel consumption. One objective is to validate and demonstrate the technology that offer the best opportunities of weight reduction and short production time. It involves the development of laser welding technologies for difficult weldable high strength aluminum alloys, containing Cu and / or Li. Another objective is to identify and evaluate approaches for first welding trials on T-joints of the alloy 2139 which are very promising regarding weld seam quality and achieved mechanical properties. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Influence of intensity distribution and pulse duration on laser micro polishingChristian Nüsser | Isabel Wehrmann | Edgar Willenborg
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 462-471
Laser micro polishing with pulsed laser radiation is a process to reduce the micro roughness of surfaces. During polishing the properties of the laser radiation have a great influence on the results. In this publication the influence of the type of intensity distribution (near-Gaussian, top-hat), of its geometry (circular, square), and of the pulse duration (≈100-1400ns) on the roughness of tool steel (1.2343) surfaces is investigated. Additionally, the influence of the pulse duration on the maximal polishable spatial wavelength is examined. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Magnetic josephson junction technology for digital and memory applicationsValery V. Ryazanov | Vitaly V. Bol'ginov | Danila S. Sobanin | Igor V. Vernik | Sergey K. Tolpygo | Alan M. Kadin | Oleg A. Mukhanov
Volume 36, Issue , January 2012, Pages 35-41
© 2012 Published by Elsevier B.V. Selection and/or peer-review under responsibility of the Guest Editors.The lack of dense, fast, energy efficient memory has been the main detractor for multiple superconducting digital projects in the past. Recently, fundamental physics research in superconductor-ferromagnet thin-film tunnel structures created a new opportunity to solve this long-standing problem. Superconductivity and ferromagnetism, two deeply antagonistic electronic properties, can coexist in form of Magnetic Josephson Junctions (MJJs). The superconducting-ferromagnetic MJJs are electrically compatible with traditional superconductor-insulator-superconductor (SIS) Josephson junctions (JJs) used for digital energy-efficient single flux quantum (eSFQ/ERSFQ) circuits. Both MJJ and JJ circuits have similar fabrication process and can be integrated on a single chip. As a result, a combination of MJJs and JJs can be used to form addressable memory cells, energy-efficient memory periphery circuits and programmable logic elements. In this paper, we present the test results of superconductor-insulator-ferromagnetsuperconductor (SIFS) MJJs showing their applicability for superconducting spintronic memory and digital circuits.
Towards friction control using laser-induced periodic Surface StructuresJ. Eichstät | G. R B E Römer | A. J. Huis in't Veld
Volume 12, Issue PART 2, June 2011, Pages 7-15
This paper aims at contributing to the study of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) and the description of their tribological properties in order to facilitate the knowledge for contact mechanical applications. To obtain laser parameters for LIPSS formation, we propose to execute two D2-Experiments. For the transfer of results from static experiments to areas of LIPSS we propose the discrete accumulation of fluences. Areas covered by homogeneously distributed LIPSS were machined. Friction force of these areas was measured using a tribometer in a ball on flat configuration. The friction force was found to be higher on the structured area than on the initial surface. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Ultrafast scan techniques for 3D-μm structuring of metal surfaces with high repetitive ps-laser pulsesStephan Bruening | Guido Hennig | Stephan Eifel | Arnold Gillner
Volume 12, Issue PART 2, June 2011, Pages 105-115
Metals and other materials can be machined with surpassing quality and highest flexibility with high power ultrafast lasers. In this study a slab based MOPA ps-laser system with fluencies of up to 30 J/cm 2 and pulse repetition rates in the multi MHz range for processing of large embossing metal rollers has been investigated. Different materials (Cu, Ni, Al, steel) have been explored for parameters like ablation rate per pulse, ablation geometry, surface roughness, influence of pulse overlap and number of loops. An enhanced ablation quality and an effective ablation rate of 4 mm 3/min has been achieved by using different scanning systems and an optimized processing strategy. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Laser cutting of carbon fiber reinforced polymers using highly brilliant laser beam sourcesAnnett Klotzbach | Markus Hauser | Eckhard Beyer
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 572-577
Carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) are applied more and more in the aircraft industry as well as in the automobile industry. The principal reason is the highly mechanical load capacity along with the low density. Moreover, the corrosion resistance plus the damping behavior of the material can be utilized fully in highly stressed structures. However, the concept of manufacture CFRP-parts close to the final contour does not substitute the need of cutting them. The different properties of fiberand matrix-material constitute an ambitious challenge while cutting CFRP using a laser beam. This paper deals with elementary analysis of the laser remote cutting process and the gas assisted laser cutting of CFRP. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Combined laser beam welding and brazing process for aluminium titanium hybrid structuresF. Möller | M. Grden | C. Thomy | F. Vollertsen
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 215-223
The current state of the art in light-weight construction is - for the case of aircraft structures - the use of either aluminium or titanium. Whereas aluminium is light-weight and less expensive, titanium offers superior corrosion properties at higher cost. In order to combine the advantages of both materials, a hybrid Ti-Al structure is proposed for e.g. seat-track application. In this paper, an overview of the results from this research work and the accompanying thermo-mechanical simulations will be reported and discussed. On the basis of the development of an appropriate system technology, the process development will be described, focusing on the main influencing parameters of the process on joint properties. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Laser assisted joining of plastic metal hybridsAndreas Roesner | Sven Scheik | Alexander Olowinsky | Arnold Gillner | Uwe Reisgen | Markus Schleser
Volume 12, Issue PART 2, June 2011, Pages 373-380
Hybrid components combine the contradictory characteristics of plastics and metal and thus can lead to advantageous construction part properties. As a result light and concomitantly stiff components can be produced. Therefore, the need for joining these dissimilar materials is a central challenge. A new approach to overcome the problems of state-of-the-art technologies is using laser radiation to ablate the metal surface in order to create microstructures with undercut grooves. When the above placed plastic is melted with laser radiation or induction joining, the material expands into these structures through external clamping pressure and after setting the joining results due to microclamping. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Development of deep penetration welding technology with high brightness laser under vacuumSeiji Katayama | Abe Yohei | Masami Mizutani | Yousuke Kawahito
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 75-80
The authors have developed a new chamber for laser welding under the low vacuum conditions achieved by using rotary pumps. High-power disk laser bead-on-plate welding was performed on Type 304 stainless steel or A5052 aluminium alloy plate at the powers of 10, 16 and 26 kW at various welding speeds under low vacuum. The sound welds of more than 50 and 70 mm in penetration depth could be produced in Type 304 at the pressure of 0.1 kPa, the speed of 0.3 m/min and the power of 16 kW and 26 kW, respectively. Similar penetration was achieved in A 5052 aluminum alloy. Welding phenomena under low vacuum were also understood by observing the behavior of a keyhole inlet, a molten pool, melt flows and a plume ejected from a keyhole through high speed video cameras. Low interaction between a laser beam and a plume under low vacuum was confirmed by using probe laser beam method. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Analysis of laser ablation of CFRP by ultra-short laser pulses with short wavelengthC. Emmelmanna | M. Petersen | A. Goeke | M. Canisius
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 565-571
Material processing of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP) by means of shape-cutting technologies is state-of-the-art today. These processes still perform in some applications with lack of part quality such as delamination and low processes productivity. Therefore, laser processing by ultra-short laser pulses has a great potential in material ablation of CFRP. Nevertheless laser process parameters have to be adjusted carefully to reduce extension of heat affected zone (HAZ) and its influence on part quality [1]. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
Laser additive manufacturing and bionics: Redefining lightweight designC. Emmelmann | P. Sander | J. Kranz | E. Wycisk
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 364-368
New layer wise manufacturing technologies such as Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) allow innovative approaches to product design. Especially for lightweight design in aircraft applications LAM offers new possibilities for load-adapted structures. However, to fully capture lightweight potential of LAM technologies new design guidelines and processes have to be developed. A novel approach to extreme lightweight design is realized by incorporating structural optimization tools, bionic structures and LAM guidelines into one design process. By consequently following this design process designers can achieve lightweight savings in designing new aircraft structures. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
The effect of curing temperature on physical and chemical properties of geopolymersA. M. Mustafa Al Bakria | H. Kamarudin | M. Bin Hussain | I. Khairul Nizar | Y. Zarina | A. R. Rafiza

Fly ash-based geopolymers required heat to increase the geopolymerization process in order to obtain higher compressive strength. As such, geopolymer samples were prepared using different curing temperatures (room temperature, 50°C, 60°C, 70°C, 80°C), in which sodium silicate and NaOH were used as alkaline activators. The samples were cured for 24 hours in the oven and tested on the seventh day. The result revealed that the maximum compressive strength (67.04 MPa) was obtained at a temperature of 60°C. However when the geopolymers sample cured at temperature more than 60°C, the compressive strength decreased. From the FTIR spectra, the higher content of Si on sample cured at 60°C also contributed to higher compressive strength. Moreover, SEM analysis showed a denser matrix as well as less unreacted fly ash of the sample cured at 60°C compared to other temperatures. © 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
Residual stresses at laser surface remelting and additive manufacturingA. V. Gusarov | M. Pavlov | I. Smurov
Volume 12, Issue PART 1, June 2011, Pages 248-254
A thermo-elastic model for calculation of the residual stresses is proposed and experimentally validated. Residual stresses depend on the shape of the remelted domain but are independent of its size. The maximum tensile residual stresses arise in the remelted region in the scanning direction. The calculated longitudinal tensile stresses are about twice greater than the transversal ones. The model explains formation of two systems of longitudinal and transversal cracks observed in experiments. The residual stresses are proportional to the difference between the ambient and melting temperatures, which justifies the known method to reduce the stresses by preheating. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Smoking with Lucia
August 18, 2015 | by Elizabeth Geoghegan
Remembering Lucia Berlin.
Lucia Berlin was not PC. And she was not New Age. She never talked to me about "recovery" or "karma." We never spoke of the Twelve Steps. It was understood: she was sober now. No need to talk about it. Especially when she could write about it. Her stories, populated with alcoholics and addicts, are rendered with an empathy, disgust, and ruthless wit that echo the devastating circumstances of her own life. She'd moved from isolation to affluence to detox and back again, and Boulder, Colorado—inundated with massage therapists, extreme athletes, and vegans—was an unlikely place for her to end up. Yet she spent much of the last decade of her life there. First in a clapboard Victorian beneath the red rocks of Dakota Ridge; later, when illness nearly bankrupted her, in a trailer park on the outskirts of the pristine town.
News of the trailer depressed me until I managed a visit, finding her at ease amid the shabby metal homes stacked on cinder blocks. It's likely Lucia would have felt more comfortable watching a bull be gored in a Mexico City arena or huddling among winos on a corner in Oakland than she ever felt at her first place on posh Mapleton Hill. But that was where we spent nearly all of our time together. Usually at her kitchen table. Read More »
Dear Mr. Jarecki
March 23, 2015 | by Gerald Howard
How Gordon Lish's first novel anticipated The Jinx.
Like every other sentient being with an HBO subscription, I've been riveted by the layers of mendacity, hypocrisy, voyeurism, manipulation, deception, dysfunction, and psychopathology on display in The Jinx. Robert Durst is as compelling a creep as has ever appeared on an LED screen; he seems like a character sprung from Patricia Highsmith's dark imagination. (The Talented Mister Durst?) Andrew Jarecki, with his distinctly Mephistophelean facial hair, gives off his own aroma of brimstone. As I watched the series—rapt, but with a queasy feeling of complicity—I felt I'd encountered something like this before. Then I remembered what it was: Gordon Lish's skilled, twisted, and exceptionally prophetic first novel, Dear Mr. Capote (1983).
The self-proclaimed "Captain Fiction," Lish is most famous and/or notorious today for his writing classes, which more resembled EST sessions than workshops, and his hyperactive editorial pencil—which, depending on your point of view, either butchered or rescued much of Raymond Carver's fiction. By 1983, Lish was riding high as an editor at Knopf, but through most of the seventies he'd been the fiction editor of Esquire, where he had almost single-handedly engineered a sea change in the style and substance of American short fiction, publishing the work of such minimalists as Carver, Joy Williams, Mary Robison, and Amy Hempel. Lish also convinced Truman Capote to publish the first two installments in his long bruited-about novel-in-progress, Answered Prayers. Capote had bragged that it would be his American answer to Proust, and the first of the chapters to appear, in June 1975, "Mojave," received rapturous praise. Buoyed by this response, he gave Esquire another chapter to publish later that year, the incendiary and staggeringly impolitic "La Cote Basque, 1965," which spilled a dump truck's worth of dirt on his high-society friends and exiled him from the fancy circles and acquaintances he had so assiduously cultivated. Its publication sent Capote's career into a terminal tailspin, perhaps the most disastrous miscalculation by a major writer in our literary history. Lish, too, has his Mephistophelian side.

The cement was dirty, but so were my pants after three weeks of traveling. I lay down on the sidewalk in front of the Sagrada Família, stretching back to look up at the Nativity Façade, trying to capture most of my older sister and all of the spires in my camera's viewfinder.
Sagrada Família is one of the most beautiful churches that I have ever seen; it is also one of the few that I have seen under construction. Not renovation or restoration, but construction. Since 1882, except for a brief interruption caused by the Spanish Civil War, this church has been the constant, but hurried home of masons and stonecutters, carpenters and sculptors, architects and electricians. On any day, a few hundred might be working inside and outside its walls; every month, church authorities spend over a million euros on construction.
The church, like the tourists who scuttle about its lower crypt and the worshippers who bow their heads and fold their hands in its central nave, is in a state of becoming, not being. The most famous hands to touch the church were those of Antoni Gaudí, who took over its design in 1883. When he died forty years later, less than a quarter of the church was finished.
Originally the idea of a bookseller who was inspired by his pilgrimage to Rome, Sagrada Família has always been an expiatory church, funded by donations. It is hard to estimate the total number of persons who have donated to the cause over the last one hundred and thirty-one years. Millions visit the church every year, their admission fees funding the costly construction that will continue for at least another decade.
While it is only a minor basilica, lacking the seat of a bishop, Sagrada Família calls to mind the great gothic cathedrals of the Middle Ages. When I lay down on the cement in front of one of its oldest facades, looking up at my sister, I thought of the many generations that had already witnessed its construction.
I thought of the mothers who brought their sons, only to have those boys take their own children to see the magnificent basilica in the making. I thought of all the fathers who came with their grandfathers only to return with their granddaughters to see light pouring through newly installed stained glass windows. I thought of all the generations who had seen and would see this church the way generations before had witnessed the building of the great cathedrals of the world.
Gaudí wanted the interior of Sagrada Família to look like a forest. The columns of the nave stretch like tree trunks from the floor to the ceiling, branching to support the heavy weight of the ceiling, but also sprawling, reaching like tendrils for the sky. The church is beautiful because of its continual incompletion, its revelation that human construction is not so unlike natural construction: you plant a sapling as a child, then years later it is still growing into something taller, something more; your grandparents planted daffodils that decades later you see still returning every spring; you sit reading the newspaper on a bench in a park that your father tells you was once under water, the river having receded miles from its ancient reaches.
Cathedrals reveal human construction for what it is. In "The Cathedral," Rainer Maria Rilke wrote "Their birth and rise, / as our own life's too great proximity / will mount beyond our vision and our sense / of other happenings." The poet disdains the possibility that cathedrals eclipse their makers: "as though that were history, / piled up in their immeasurable masses / in petrifaction safe from circumstance." Life, Rilke argued, was on the streets beneath the cathedral's spires, while death was "in those towers that, full of resignation, / ceased all at once from climbing."

CivilWarLand in Bad Decline: Preface
January 7, 2013 | by George Saunders
We loved Joel Lovell's profile of George Saunders in yesterday's Times Magazine. Lovell quotes generously from Saunders's preface to the new edition of CivilWarLand in Bad Decline. By special arrangement with the publisher, we bring you the preface in full.
This book was written in the Rochester, New York, offices of Radian Corporation between 1989 and 1996, at a computer strategically located to maximize the number of steps a curious person (a boss, for example) would have to take to see that what was on the screen was not a technical report about groundwater contamination but a short story.
I had graduated from the Syracuse MFA program in 1988 and had been writing stories that owed everything to Ernest Hemingway and suffered for that. They were stern and minimal and tragic and had nothing to do whatsoever with the life I was living or, for that matter, any life I had ever lived.
We billed our hours, and I would respond to any disrespect toward my person by declaring (in my mind, always only in my mind): "Thanks, a-hole, your project has just funded a Saunders grant for the arts." And, for an edit that could have been done in an hour, I would bill that program manager's project an hour and a half, then use the liberated half hour to work on my book.
This book.
What We're Loving: Prohibition, Bourbon, Coffee
December 14, 2012 | by The Paris Review
When I asked my college advisor how I could learn to write dialogue like Raymond Carver, he told me to study a real master: John O'Hara. Naturally this kept me from reading O'Hara's novels for twenty years. Then last week I picked up Butterfield 8, the 1935 story of a young woman who steals a fur coat after a one-night stand. Rarely has such a good book had such a bad ending. If not for the last ten pages, you'd have to call it a great book, with an unforgettable heroine, frank insights into sex and sexual abuse, a vivid picture of New York during Prohibition, and panning shots that prefigure William Gaddis. (Yes, great dialogue too.) —Lorin Stein
At a library sale, I found a box set of Ursula K. Le Guin's Earthsea trilogy in pristine condition. The spines weren't even broken on the slim, stiff paperbacks, and I wondered whether the previous owner had even read them. But that's all I've been doing the past week, and I'm ready to cast aside familial obligations, work responsibilities, holiday demands, and whatnot if they come between me and these books. —Nicole Rudick

With years of experience in the industry, Bingo Sweets is a name you can trust when looking to find out more about the best bingo sites and offers. We test-drove lots of new bingo sites for 2016 in order to give you the best idea of what to expect and we always make sure to comb every inch of each site so that we can provide you with the information that matters most. We know that there are loads of bingo brands out there and that a simple Google search for 'bingo sites UK' will bring up thousands of results. We also know it would literally take days to trawl through sites to find one you prefer, so that's why we've stepped in to provide you with all of the information you need from a range of bingo sites. We've done the long, hard slog so you don't have to. No detail gets past our top researchers and writers, so you can trust that you won't be missing anything. If it's not on Bingo Sweets, it's not worth knowing!
Bingo BonusesWe know that bonuses are a top factor in choosing the best bingo sites, which is why we always make sure to outline the different bonus offers available on each site review. It's easy to get lost between no deposit bingo bonuses (basically free money for signing up – yay!), welcome bonuses, re-deposit bonuses and free spin welcome bonuses, not to mention sites which offer non-monetary prizes (like shopping vouchers for referring a friend), special limited-time promotions (some of these offer non-monetary prizes too, like a car) and loads more.
Examples of bonuses available on top bingo brands
- Lucky Cow Bingo– This new site is the latest on the Wheel of Slots network which means that they have a different take on bonuses. When you deposit £10 on this site you'll be rewarded with up to 500 spins to use on games like Fluffy Favourites and Temple of Isis. To claim this reward you get to spin the wheel which determines the number of spins you'll receive and on certain games.
- Cheers Bingo– This fantastic site will reward you with a whopping £20 free when you deposit £10. That's not all though, your deposit will earn you a spin on the wheel, which can boost your deposit with a prize of anywhere between £5 and £2,500. Just think of all the games you could play with winnings like that!
- Wink Bingo– Here you can expect to find a similar reward system to Cheers bingo. They'll give you £50 to play with when you deposit £10 and also give you a go at their wheel. This wheel will net you at least £15 and if you're lucky you may get the grand prize of £1000.
- Bingo Hollywood– With this site players receive a huge 500% bonus on their first deposit between £5 and £100. The rewards don't stop after the first payment though, they'll keep boosting your bonuses with up to 100% on each and every deposit.
Bingo on the Go!Lots of people love to play games on their tablet or smartphone and not all of them are just for fun; some mobile sites offer some pretty big jackpots and awesome real money prizes. There are plenty of apps from bingo providers that let you play bingo on the go. This means you can win no matter where you are, which is perfect if you only have a few free minutes in your busy schedule. Almost all bingo sites out there offer mobile access. Some ask you to download an app, while other bingo sites operate a mobile site to provide games when their users are out and about. Downloading an app might take a bit longer than accessing a mobile site but having one installed means it only takes one tap to get playing. You can access these with a smartphone or tablet, whether it's Android, iPhone or Window's Phone you'll be able to get your bingo fix. Don't be afraid to dive in with mobile gaming; it's so simple and easy that you'll be enjoying your favourite games on your phone in no time! The best part is, you can play anywhere there's internet whether it's in a café while waiting on a friend or on the train, it's great fun to play bingo on a mobile device.
Choosing the Best Bingo SiteAt Bingo Sweets, we know everybody is unique and places different priorities on what they want from a bingo site. We also understand that sites should provide the same core offers in order for them to be considered the best by their players.
Things to look out for when choosing the best bingo site
- Branding– Is the site part of a larger bingo network? If so, that usually gives an indicator of what you can expect on the site and can also be reassuring in terms of a site's reputation. Check out the software providers for each site so that you can gauge the quality of games and better predict your gaming experience.
- RTP– What are the Return to Player percentages for bingo, slot and side games on the site? If it's in the high 90s, that's great – you can look forward to hours of enjoyment and great winning prospects.
- Bonuses– Whether it's a no-deposit bonus for simply signing up, a generous welcome bonus or continual redeposit bonus, it's important to know what you can get for your money. For instance, if you're planning on choosing a site for the long-term then continual redeposit bonuses may be more beneficial to you than a first-time gigantic bonus.

Taxonomic note
Acrocephalus agricola (Sibley and Monroe 1990, 1993) has been split into A. agricola and A. tangorum contra Alstrom et al. (1991) but following Helbig and Seibold (1999).
13 cm. Small, drab reed-warbler. Uniform tawny-rufous upperparts. Bold, whitish supercilium bordered by dark brow and narrow eye-stripe. White chin, throat and belly becoming buffish-brown on flanks. Similar spp. Paddyfield Warbler A. agricola has less tawny-rufous upperparts and less clearly defined black eyebrow. Black-browed Reed-warbler A. bistrigiceps has more extensive dark crown and more obvious contrast between the black brow and pale centre of crown. Generally duller and more olive-brown upperparts. Voice Typical Acrocephalus song. Calls include a sharp chik-chik, a harsh chr-chuck and a slurred zack-zack.

Cross-linking of the collagen fibrils is involved in the stabilization of the extracellular matrix, which is mediated by transglutaminase mediated cross-linking of Role of the Energy State of Liver Cell in Cirrhosis Development and Treatment 11 lysines and in addition by development of pyridinoline cheap herbal viagra online cross-links [53]. In normal liver, matrix homeostasis is highly developed with controlled degradation of excess extracellular matrix by a family of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) including MMP-1 and MMP-4 [41], while activated hepatic myofibroblasts produce vast quantities of Type I and Type III collagen and in addition secrete the tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases-1 and -2 (TIMP-1 and TIMP-4) which operate to block the collagenolytic activity of a wide range of MMPs [52]. It is this disruption of the liver architecture that primarily leads to the impairment of liver function found in cirrhotic individuals cheap herbal viagra online.

It is possible that cheap herbal viagra online parallel systems might have a cooperative capacity when one system is damaged. Although characterized here as a complementary relationship, others have described it as competitive (Poldrak & Packard, 2003). However, in healthy individuals, the two may still compete and possibly impede one another. 1993, given that the hippocampal and caudate systems have very different operating mechanisms (Packard & McGaugh. White & McDonald, 1998), it may be that the flexible hippocampus cheap herbal viagra online can compensate for a compromised caudate system, Spatial Navigation 207 but the more functionally constrained caudate cannot fulfill a flexible navigation role.
In the absence of pathology, what might drive a subject to adopt a particular navigation strategy, engaging one brain system rather than another?. One factor that is often cited anecdotally in relation to navigation is sex differences. Do men and women differ in how they navigate?.
A large cheap herbal viagra online study published by Stipa et al. 218 Falk Rauchfuss and Utz Settmacher Total Porto-Caval Shunts Porto-Caval Side-to-Side Shunts Porto-caval side-to-side shunts are performed in patients suffering from treatment refractory ascites that might be a consequence of diuretic-resistant or diuretic-intractable ascites. There were no significant differences between the shunt groups regarding operative mortality, rebleeding rates, encephalopathy rates or survival. The authors favour the meso-caval interposition shunt because it offers excellent protection against rebleeding and carries the cheap herbal viagra online same risk of encephalopathy as other shunt procedures, especially in liver transplantation candidates.

The Infernal Devices Trilogy
I caught a few episodes of the TV series Shadow Hunters, not realizing at first that it was based on the Mortal Instruments book series. While the TV series couldn't hold my attention, I remembered I had the manga series based on the prequel, The Infernal Devices, and I had liked what I read of its serialization in Yen Plus, so I decided to finally read the whole series.

Are You New Here?
Enjoy the Greatest Hits, take a look at posts by category, or just dive in!
A blog is like a beard.
In fact, a blog is EXACTLY like a beard. You forget about it for a little while, then it gets ratty and needs an overhaul.
Something new, something wonderful is coming, but it's only about 1/2 done right now, just like my beard.
The surprise ISN'T a new look for Amuse or Bemused. Stay in the know! Keep your eye on your mailbox, or your RSS feed, or your iPhone, or whatever way you reach out and touch the internets. The beard will soon be ready. So will the blog.
Drunk Driving Deserves Worse Than This
Bumper stickers are fighting the fight against drunk driving, Since we're heading into a holiday weekend that is sure to be replete with people eating too much burnt meat and drinking too much booze, the fight against dangerous driving behavior is being taken up once again by this powerful slogan:
Who's the Communication Genius who came up with this?
The consequence of drunk driving is…getting…pulled…over?
It's like a store that has a shoplifting problem, so they post:
No Shoplifting. Violators will be glared at.
Or putting up a sign at a shark infested beach that says:
No Swimming. Big Fishies here.
Or putting a sign outside Chernobyl that says:
You Might Not Want To Go Inside, It's Kind Of Warm In There.
Or having a bridge wash out and warning:
Consider Turning Around or You May Ruin You Car's Alignment.
Or being in Gilder and putting up a sign proclaiming:
Stay Out Of Fire Swamp. Little Flames, Sand, and Rodents Within!
Being Thankful For What I'm Not
So, sometimes I think that maybe it would be nice to get paid like a lawyer. Then I remember that, to do that, one must live in the world that lawyers live. This netherworld is also known by its technical term: The Deposition.

Biggest Loser Loses Big & Wins. World Shocked.
Or You CAN Win for Losing, Except Everyone Will Criticize You.
I watched about 2 minutes of The Biggest Loser a few years ago, so it's fair to say I'm not a fan. But I couldn't help but notice today that the internets are all a-flutter with the shocking news that this season's winner, now prepare yourself, lost a lot of weight and is skinny now!
If there's anything that's true in the United States is that we know that we're a bunch of fat slobs who desperately need to lose weight, unless we lose weight, in which case we're too skinny and need to gain weight.
It's a lose/lose.
Biggest Loser contestant Rachael Frederickson won the contest yesterday by dropping from a starting weight of 260 pounds to a final weight of 105 pounds. She lost the equivalent of me in the seventh grade.
People all over the interwebs immediately expressed their shock and dismay. I know it is possible to be too thin, but let's have a little perspective folks. She entered a weight loss contest. To her credit, she still has more body fat than a body builder…or a super model…or a Survivor contestant…or Mick Jagger. Click for commentary from Mick Jagger
Rats Reveal Amazing Fact
Where would we be without scientists? They discover great things, they really do, but everybody can't be Joseph Salk.
In a quest to carry out its mission to provide "all the news that's fit to print," the New York Times gives us this article in which scientists and their rats reveal that Inactivity Changes the Brain.
There are two awesome moments here. The first comes after the author spends 95% of article applying rat experiences to humans and then reveals that "Of course, rats are not people." Thank you scientists, that's very comforting, though I'm certain the inverse is sometimes true.
I'd tell you all about the study, but there is too much, so let me sum up: scientists studied active rats versus inactive rats and found the lazy rats' brains less responsive, compounded by the fact that the lazy rats had a higher incidence of heart disease.
Wow. Tell me more! Don't be a rat! Click!
Getting a Handle on Axe
When I was a kid and I saw that my mom had a bottle in the bathroom cabinet labeled "Eau de Toilette." I could tell from the look and stench of the bottle (to a 7-year-old boy, perfume is a stench), that it was perfume. Mom told me that Eau was water in french, so it was literally toilet water. I nodded and said "Ok," but I was thinking, "That's the dumbest name for anything that I've ever heard."
No longer true, 7-year-old JT, no longer true.
None of this makes scents to me. (See what I did there? Wow! Olfactory pun!) First of all, what is the smell of peace, as in peace signs? Woodstock after the rain? I don't take a shower to accomplish that. And the other two?
A Pseudo Review of The Desolation of Smaug
Lot's of folks are posting their Desolation of Smaug reviews, and this second installment in Peter Jackson's Hobbit trilogy is enjoying even better response than the first. I was thinking of posting my own detailed review of the film, having seen it at the midnight showing Thursday night, but then it occurred to me that a guy who would attend the premiere dressed as Peter Jackson might not be considered the most objective observer.
Our local Hobbit premiere has become a kind of "Geek Super Bowl" for my family. It's an investment of time and money, but it's worth it to have a Fun Event to look forward to. I'm glad to be old enough to embrace my inner nerd and just enjoy it.
As you can see, Peter Jackson and I are now practically twins separated at birth. Granted, my half of the "twin-dom" involves a lot of hair product and a beard full of mascara in order to achieve the desired effect, but that's the magic of movie making, right?
Not everyone at the theater was impressed by my costume.
But, by and large, I got enthusiastic responses from my fellow theater goers. Since we arrived several hours early (procuring the honor of being fifth in line), the theater management began to refer to me as "Mr. Jackson," though I would have been fine with "Peter."

ADDISON COUNTY — Photographer Trent Campbell snapped these shots at town meetings in Panton, Ferrisburgh, Shoreham and Salisbury.
ADDISON COUNTY — Voters in the northern half of Addison County rejected five school budgets in two supervisory unions on Tuesday evening, a sign that voters remain frustrated with the rising costs of education taxes.
Residents rejected spending plans for Vergennes Union High School and Ferrisburgh Central School in the Addison Northwest Supervisory Union, and three schools in the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union: Mount Abraham Union High School, Monkton Central School and Bristol Elementary School.
WHITING — Town officials hoping for some sort of financial life preserver this year from the state for ailing municipal and/or school programs had better learn how to tread water.
That's because local lawmakers on Monday served notice they are trying to erase a $112 million shortfall in the fiscal year 2016 state budget. And unlike past years, there is no federal stimulus money, nor better-than-anticipated tax revenues to close the gap.

"Most people have pulled an all-nighter — driving across country, cramming for a test, etc. So when you talk about sleep deprivation, most people will nod their heads and think they know what you're talking about. But they don't, I mean, not really," explained Alexis Dubief, a mother of two boys.
"When you have a baby, this little seven-pound love nugget is immediately the most important thing in the entire world," she continued.
