I want some information before I ask the plumber, in-case he tries to give me vague....that is the way it has to be, it feels hot to me, change your hot water heater setting, etc.,....answers. He installed a Hansgrohe shower/bath combo unit, plus put in whatever it is called to stop water hammer. Now the hot water in that shower(and bath) does not get as hot as it used to. It gets warm, but definitely not hot. In all other faucets in our house the water feels as hot as we've always had it. My daughter and I have both used the new shower and both noticed it. I don't think it is in our heads! No one has changed the settings on our hot water heater, it is digital so I can see exactly what it is set at. What could cause this? | |||
It is the responsibility of the plumber, and many fail, to discuss the "anti-scald device" with the consumer and install it according to what they want. There is a cheap plastic part that keeps the handle of the valve from turning too far over to the hot side. It is to prevent "scalding" someone by accident. It is easily adjustable, and you'll notice the handle turns farther to the hot side. And the installer should adjust it for free, and feel like a dummy for not discussing it in the first place, and causing them to do a return trip. The plumbers adjustment shouldn't cost you ten cents. For adults, I usually just put it for its hottest setting. For an elderly, disabled, or child, then it might be different.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Re-mdlr, | ||||
Thanks, the plumber was a nice, competent, man. I just like to have a little knowledge about these things before I talk to the "professional" about it. But I agree he should have asked or mentioned this anti-scald device. | ||||
It is easy to adjust yourself. You'll need an Allen Wrench to remove the handle, then you rotate the plastic part that Re-mdlr mentions in his post. If you Google the brand of faucet you can probably get the specific directions on the web. Once you know what it is adjusting it is fairly intuitive, you might need to make several adjustments to get it right. Just make sure you run out all the cold water in the pipes and test it before you pack up your tools.

Where Do the Bucks Go From Here?
Posted By Joel Brigham On April 30, 2012 @ 12:00 pm In All,NBA | No Comments
In the 2011-12 season, the Milwaukee Bucks were just mediocre enough to miss the postseason by a couple of games, but they were also just good enough to earn a scant 0.7 percent shot at landing Anthony Davis in this June's draft. That's the basketball equivalent of purgatory and, in a small market like Milwaukee, the team simply couldn't continue on like that.
For that reason, the Bucks made one of the splashiest trades of the year by shipping off Andrew Bogut and Stephen Jackson in exchange for Monta Ellis, Ekpe Udoh and Kwame Brown. Considering Bogut was hurt anyway, Ellis' contributions went a long way toward improving the outlook of the team. Long-term, Milwaukee was losing one of the league's top defensive centers and gaining a top-flight scorer who, in another year, could test free agency and potentially walk away from Milwaukee with no compensation.
Is Ellis part of this team's long-term vision? Can he coexist in an offense with Brandon Jennings? Is there enough left over on this roster to get the Bucks back into the postseason next year? These are the questions the team is going to have to answer, and relatively soon, as they figure out what's next for their franchise.
The Roster
The good news is that, in terms of salary, this team is built in a way where GM John Hammond could take the organization in a couple of different directions. Ellis' $11 million salary for 2012-13 and potentially the year after (he has a player option worth that much for 2013-14) is far and away the largest salary on the team, and Kwame Brown's $7 million will come off the books this summer. Beno Udrih will likely pick up his $7.8 million player option for next season, and Drew Gooden is slated to make $6.8 million each of the next three seasons.
Outside of those four players though, nobody else cracks the $6 million mark for an annual salary. Luc Mbah a Moute is one of the most reasonably priced players in the league, Mike Dunleavy is an inexpensive $3.75 million for just one more season and everybody else of note (Brandon Jennings, Ekpe Udoh, Larry Sanders, Tobias Harris and Jon Brockman) are still on their rookie deals.
The Bucks have three noteworthy free agents this summer: Carlos Delfino, rookie Jon Leuer and, most importantly, breakout forward Ersan Ilyasova, who we'll talk about more in a moment.
In short, next year's roster is more or less locked up, and it's probably going to look an awful lot like this year's roster.
It's the year after that when we could be looking at wholesale changes. Ellis could decline his option and test free agency. Jennings will be up for an extension and expensive raise. As of right now, only five other guys will definitely be under contract, and that means the summer of 2013 could be the ideal time to look at rebuilding this organization from the ground up, if that's what it comes to.
Of course, it might not come to that.
The Coach
One major question heading into this offseason is how much time head coach Scott Skiles will be afforded considering how disappointing his teams have been the last couple of years. Granted, injuries have been a big part of that that disappointment, but we've seen plenty of coaches get more out of lesser groups and if you can't change the players, a change of coach may be the only reasonable way for a team to experience a quick turnaround.
But let's not count Skiles out just yet. Easily one of the best X's and O's coaches in the game, Skiles has always been good for a two to three year burst of productivity as soon as he steps on the scene because he works his guys so hard. That, in turn, has generally resulted in a positive response to his coaching tactics, particularly early in his tenures. However, that coaching style tends to wear on players, and Skiles has now been head coach of the Bucks for four years and counting. With one more year on his deal, it's certainly fair to ask how much longer he'll be with the team.
The biggest issue with this current roster is Skiles' propensity for playing the hot hand, and on a team with no real superstar that means a lot of different looks and no set roster rotation. NBA players obviously prefer consistency when it comes to minutes, but that's not the kind of coach Skiles has ever been. Jennings and Dunleavy have publicly called for their coach's return next season, but it's certainly not a given. If he's fortunate, he'll be given the opportunity to ride out his contract and get his team back into the postseason. One more disappointing year, however, and he's all but gone.
The Draft
Whether Milwaukee keeps Skiles or not won't change the fact that the Bucks will have a draft pick to make late in the lottery, most likely the #12 overall selection. This is a deep draft, which means there should still be plenty of star power left by that point in the lottery, and the Bucks are fortunate enough to have enough guys at each position where they'll probably draft the best player available instead of some positional need.
Of course, with Bogut gone, it's not hard to imagine Hammond selecting a center with that pick, and there are a couple of reasonable options for them in North Carolina big man Tyler Zeller and Illinois center Meyers Leonard. Zeller would be preferable, but it's unlikely he'll still be around by pick #12. Leonard, meanwhile, doesn't come in with very many positive things to be said about his work ethic or ability to work with others. In other words, a center would be nice, but it might not work out that way.
So if not a center, the Bucks are looking at a clump of swingmen and point guards right around the end of the lottery. Damian Lillard and Kendall Marshall are both options for the latter, but their selection will depend largely on what happens with Beno Udrih and Shaun Livingston this summer. If the Bucks want to bring both back, a point guard seems unlikely. If they're going to let one or both walk, either of these two kids would be a great backup to Jennings and potentially soften the blow should he choose to leave for greener pastures in the next couple of years.
All that said, UConn's Jeremy Lamb, Duke's Austin Rivers, Kentucky's Terrence Jones and Baylor's Quincy Miller are the four most intriguing prospects in Milwaukee's range. Miller and Rivers particularly offer a certain level of star quality that the Bucks so sorely need, though Miller—a 6'9 small forward—might be the guy who finds more minutes in this rotation.
Whomever they end up with, it'll be a strong enough talent to step right in and positively affect the team next year. That, at the very least, is what they need from the draft, regardless of what position the new kid plays.
Amnesty and Free Agency
After the draft, there will be two priorities for the Bucks this summer as it pertains to free agency; the first is to re-up Ersan Ilyasova, who certainly will command more than the $2.5 million he earned last season, and the second will be to explore free agency for another reasonably affordable piece that could potentially help push the Bucks back into the postseason.
Re-signing Ilyasova could be harder than it appears, particularly if teams like the Brooklyn Nets, who reportedly are already interested in the power forward, get involved and jack up the price. In 27.6 minutes per game last season, Ilyasova scored 13 points and hauled in 8.8 rebounds, which certainly is good enough to indicate that he could be capable of more with a bigger role on another team.
Of course, with numbers like that the Bucks would love to keep him, and it seems all but certain that they'll make a strong effort to do so when free agency opens later this summer. But with so many other frontcourt players on the team also vying for minutes, and playing for a coach in Scott Skiles who's more than happy to spread those minutes all over the place, it's easy to see him being happier elsewhere, should he decide to leave.
One way to free up that minutes logjam, as well as a considerable amount of cap space to allow the team to re-sign Ilyasova and perhaps another notable free agent, would be to use the amnesty provision on Drew Gooden. Gooden, who will be 31 in September, is slated to make a total of $20 million over the next three years, and he's taking minutes away from a more talented (and younger) player in Ilyasova.
Using the amnesty provision on him would kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, but there's also an argument to be made for using it on Udrih, who likely will make $7.8 million this year, assuming he picks up his option. That gives the team an extra $1 million in cap space this year and clears a roster spot for someone less integral to the team than Gooden. Not that either is necessarily essential, but depending on what kind of space Milwaukee felt they needed this summer, Udrih could take out a bigger chunk.
Without amnestying anyone and declining Shaun Livingston's $3.5 million team option, the Bucks could have about $5 million in cap space come July. Using amnesty on Gooden would bump that to just under $12 million, and using it on Udrih instead would give them nearly $13 million in space. Depending on what they do with Ilyasova (and when they do it), the Bucks could potentially add another mid-tier talent with that sort of cash, but who that is would depend entirely on who the team drafts and who they use the amnesty provision on.
If all this sounds very vague, it's because the Bucks have a lot of dominoes that need to fall between now and the start of next season, and there's really no telling right now which of the dominoes will be the first to topple. They'll either keep their coach, or they won't. They'll either re-sign their only major free agent, or they won't. They'll either use their amnesty provision on a point guard or a center, or maybe they won't even use it all. The player they draft could either come as a result as these moves, or could be part of the reason for them. We just don't know these things yet.
What we do know is that next year's team will look reasonably similar to this year's team, barring any sort of major trade. How well they play in 2012-13 will determine whether or not Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis stick around long-term. That's really what Bucks fans should be most concerned about. The moves they make this summer will be what sets them up for the moves they're able to make next summer. What happens next for the Bucks is either a success or an indication that it's time to blow this thing up and start from scratch. Either way, another year and the Bucks will be out of their basketball purgatory.

Once a year, a little slice of awesome unites the world in the vein of pillow warfare! The folks over at the "Urban Playground Movement" have heralded April 7th as "National Pillow Fight" day—cue the universal moan of pillows everywhere! The goose down will fly, merriment shall be had, childhood nostalgia shall return with a vengeance, and someone will most likely get unceremoniously clobbered by a renegade pillow to the dome.
Naturally, NYC has joined the fray, with Washington Square Park playing host to this breeding ground of bedtime glory! The festivities begin at 3pm sharp: so bring your weapon of choice (hopefully a durable, gargantuan pillow specimen), dress the part (vintage "onesies", pj's, or bunny attire), and get ready to rumble!
Like the taste of pillow to the face? Then don't miss out on the zaniest pillow battle ever to descend upon our lovely city!

Trigonometric identities
Trig identities part 2 (part 4 if you watch the proofs) More playing around with trig identities
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Welcome back.
- I'm now going to do a bit of a review of everything we've
- learned so far about maybe even trigonometry and
- trig identities.
- And then we'll see if we can come up with-- maybe use what
- we already know to come up with a couple more trig identities.
- So we know that from SOH-CAH-TOA we know that sine
- of theta is equal to the opposite over the hypotenuse.
- Let me draw a triangle here.
- If I were to draw a triangle here-- whoops.
- Oh, there you go.
- OK, so this is theta.
- This is the opposite.
- This is the adjacent.
- This is hypotenuse.
- Then sine of theta is equal to opposite over hypotenuse.
- Cosine of theta-- this is basic review, hopefully at this
- point-- is the adjacent over the hypotenuse.
- The tangent of theta is equal to the opposite over the
- adjacent, which is also equal to the sine of theta over
- the cosine of theta.
- And we showed this in a couple of videos ago.
- And then, these are kind of almost definitional, but the
- cosecant of theta is equal to the hypotenuse over the
- opposite, which is the same thing as 1 over sine of theta.
- You can just memorize this.
- I mean, I kind of find is silly that there is such
- a thing as cosecant.
- I guess it's just for convenience because you know
- everyone knows it's just 1 over sine of theta.
- And same thing for secant.
- Secant of theta-- it's really for convenience.
- Instead of having to say, in the case of secant-- oh, that's
- 1 you know-- if you end up with the equation 1 over cosine of
- theta you can just say, oh, that's just the
- secant of theta.
- I think it actually has some obvious properties and if you
- were to draw unit circle and all of that too.
- But anyway, so that's equal to the hypotenuse over the
- adjacent, which is equal to 1 over cosine of theta.
- And then, of course, cotangent of theta is equal to the
- adjacent over the opposite, which is equal to
- 1 over tan theta.
- And of course, that's also equal to cosine of
- theta over sine theta.
- It's just the opposite of the tangent of theta.
- Or that's the same thing as what?
- That's the same thing as the secant-- no, no, no.
- It's the same thing as the cosecant-- no, no no.
- Let me make sure I get this right.
- It's the same thing as the-- I just want to get the inverses.
- Well, let's prove what it is actually.
- I always confuse myself.
- So this is the same thing as 1 over the secant of theta over
- 1 over the cosecant of theta.
- Secant of theta, cosecant theta.
- And then that equals the cosecant of theta over
- the secant of theta.
- I wouldn't waste your time memorizing.
- So we know that a cotangent of theta is equal to
- 1 over tangent theta.
- Is equal to the cosine over the sine.
- And it also equals the cosecant over the secant.
- And I wouldn't worry about really memorizing this.
- You could derive it if you had to.
- As you could tell, I really didn't have
- this memorized either.
- And we also learned in previous videos that the sine squared
- theta plus the cosine squared of theta is equal to 1.
- And that just comes from the pythagorean theorem.
- And if you play around with this a little bit you'd also
- get that the tangent squared theta plus 1 is equal to
- the secant squared theta.
- You actually go from here to here if you just divide both
- sides of this equation by cosine squared.
- So we know that.
- And then if you've watched the last two proof videos I made,
- we also know that the sine of-- let's say a plus b-- is equal
- to the sine of a times the cosine of b.
- Plus-- let me erase some of this because I don't
- think that that is an important trig identity.
- You can derive it on your own.
- I just wanted to show you that you could figure it out.
- I'm using too much space.
- OK, now I have space.
- Let me find that blue color I was using and make
- sure my pen is small.
- So it's the sine of a times the cosine of b plus the sine
- of b times the cosine of a.
- And you might want to just memorize it.
- This actually becomes really useful when you actually start
- doing calculus because you have to solve derivatives and
- integrals that you might have to know the identity.
- And it's not that hard to memorize.
- It's the sine of one of them times the cosine of one of them
- plus the other way around.
- That's all this is.
- And then we also learned that the cosine of a plus b-- it's
- the cosine of both of them minus the sine of both them.
- So that is equal to the cosine of a times the cosine of b.
- And I proved this in another video, hopefully did it
- to your satisfaction.
- Minus the sine of a times the sine of b.
- These are pretty useful because from these can we can come up
- with a bunch of other trig identities.
- For example, what is the sine of 2a?
- Well, that's just the same thing as the sine of a plus a.
- And if we use this trig identity up here, that is equal
- to sine of a cosine of a plus the sine of a, cosine of a.
- I just used this sine of a plus b identity up here and well,
- want a and b are both a.
- Now what does this equal?
- Well, this is two terms that are just both sine
- of a, cosine of a.
- So that just equals 2 sine of a, cosine of a.
- So we now have derived another trigonometric identity that
- might be in the inside cover of your trig, or actually,
- your calculus book.
- All of these actually, I could draw a square
- around all of them.
- Let's do another one.
- Once you have a bit of a library of trig identities you
- can really just keep playing around and seeing what else you
- can-- and I encourage you to do so.
- And you'd be amazed how many other trig identities
- you could come up with.
- For example, let's do cosine of 2a.
- Cosine of 2a is equal to cosine of a plus a.
- And cosine of a plus a, what did we say?
- It's the cosine of both of the terms times each other minus
- the sine of both of the terms.
- So that equals cosine of a, cosine of a, right?
- Cosine of a times cosine of a minus sine of a, sine of a.
- This identity was the cosine of a plus b identity.
- Minus sine of a.
- So what is this?
- This is equal to cosine squared a minus sine squared a.
- That's interesting.
- We could play around.
- This is interesting because this is the form a
- squared minus b squared.
- So that's also the same thing as a plus b times a minus b.
- So that's the same thing as cosine of a plus sine of a
- times cosine of a minus sine of a.
- I don't know.
- This isn't really a trig identity, but I'm just showing
- you could play with things.
- Cosine of 2a is equal to cosine of a plus sine of a times
- cosine of a minus sine of a.
- So the sum of the cosine and sine of a then
- times the difference.
- That's just interesting.
- I'm just showing you that what's fun about trigonometry
- is you can kind of keep playing around with it.
- And actually, that's probably-- that is how all of the trig
- identities were discovered.
- So let's say that we have-- we want to figure out what cosine
- of let's say, negative a is.
- Well, let me draw a right triangle.
- Whoops.
- That's almost a right triangle.
- Now let's say this angle is a.
- So negative a, unit circle would look something
- like this, right?
- Negative a.
- So cosine of a, if we say that this side is the adjacent
- side, this is the hypotenuse.
- This would still be the hypotenuse, right?
- And this is the opposite.
- This is the negative opposite.
- So cosine of minus a is equal to what?
- This is minus a, so it's the adjacent over the hypotenuse.
- So it equals the adjacent over the hypotenuse,
- which we just say is h.
- But that's the same thing as cosine of a, right?
- Because cosine of a is also the adjacent over the hypotenuse.
- Oh, I'm almost out of time.
- Let me switch to a new video.

Seven Days Says:
Moving Light Dance Company puts a local twist on this holiday classic — with a Vermont farmhouse and Maple Sugar Fairy taking center stage.
Keeping it Local
Putting a spin on a classic ballet, Moving Light Dance Company presents The Green Mountain Nutcracker, now in its sixth year. Company founder Christine Harris directs the production with Vermont native Avi Waring and Willow Wonder, who, like Harris, relocated to the state from New York City. All accomplished dancers, the trio's life experiences resonate with the story unfolding on stage. Swapping the Victorian parlor for an old farmhouse and formality for tie-dye, a party begins. Audiences follow young Marie through a journey marked by a mysterious godfather, her adoration of a Nutcracker and the Maple Sugar Fairy.

Baby-Making Secrets You Should Know
Should He Cool Off Down There?
It's true: cooler temperatures can raise a man's sperm count. For years, wannabe dads have been urged to wear boxers and avoid hot tubs, while some men rub an ice cube around their testicles for a few minutes before intercourse or spend a few minutes a day sitting on an ice pack for a couple of weeks before their partners ovulate.
Too cool for comfort? Keep in mind that it takes a minimum of two months for sperm counts to rise in response to cooler temperatures—and a 1997 study conducted at Los Angeles Medical Center discovered no difference between the sperm counts of men wearing close-fitting underwear and those who favored boxers.
Bottom line: If you want to hedge your bets, go for the boxers—but you may want to bypass the ice!

Here at Econsultancy, we are big fans of the Reddit AMA, where a notable business person, politician, or often a celebrity sit down to answer point blank questions from the community. Recently, Lars Rasmussen, Facebook's Director of Engineering, did an AMA and explained Graph Search in as simple a way as possible.
The thread, which reveals that Graph Search has been in development since Summer 2011, includes many elements a marketer can skip (including Rasmussen's experience on one of Zuckerberg's famous walks, and the "best and worst things about working at Facebook") but also the most straightforward "tech in non tech speak" explanation of Graph Search since Rasmussen was asked to explain it like he was talking to a five-year-old.

Twitter has been on an announcement binge as of late, and assuming it's factual, and not just a bunch of PR...it's all very relevant to marketers.
As our Social Media Manager Matt Owen has already pointed out we get a lot of traffic (and hence new members) from Twitter, so these changes to search history and mobile search experience are important to us. I did some A/B testing with the old iOS app, and then the new one and came away unimpressed however. Twitter PR, feel free to send someone our way to correct any inaccuracies!

Social commenting is hot, to the tune of $15m as evidenced by the latest funding round from LiveFyre, a dominant player in the space. This brings the startup's total funding to $21m.
What exactly do the platforms LiveFyre and their competitor Disqus bring to your website or blog? Is one better than the other in any given area? Should comments even be "real-time" and "social?"
I did a bit of my own investigating, and these results are by no means scientific or conclusive.
I'd love to hear member thoughts (yes use our web 1.0 commenting system) if anyone out there has been using one or the other on their website for extended time and has feedback to share!

Is there a way to enable vertical scrolling only?
In many graphics applications, the side scrolling (panning) feature of the Magic Mouse is very rapid and sensitive, causing one to lose their place during work. I'd like to disable the horizontal scrolling and just use the mouse as a conventional scroll wheel - vertical only.

This unique event will feature the screening of an original documentary in English by filmmaker Elena Maroulleti which traces back and highlights the centuries-old history and culture of Khirokitia, one of the most significant pre-historic sites of Cyprus and of the eastern Mediterranean.
The event which is offered with free admission will take place at the Stathakion Cultural Center in Astoria, NY. An RSVP is preferred. To book seats please email email@example.com or call 718-545-1151. For more information visit, www.cyprecoofamerica.com.
The remains of Khirokitia and the archaeological finds from ongoing excavations that stretch back to the mid-1930's and which continue to date have shed a lot of light on the evolution of human society in Cyprus. The featured film also highlights important aspects of the life and traditions of the first inhabitants of Khirokitia. The event will also feature speakers who come from Khirokitia who will share personal stories about the discovery of the settlement and the ongoing excavations at the site.
Organized by CYPRECO of America, Inc., a non-profit Queens-based cultural organization with a vibrant presence spanning over 30 years in New York's cultural scene, this new progam is part of CYPRECO's ongoing commitment of providing unique folk arts programs which promote the rich heritage, history and culture of Cyprus in America.
Perfectly suited for the entire family, this unique event offered with free admission will feature stage readings in English and in Greek of representative Cypriot folk stories and poems which survived over the centuries by word of mouth and which were collected and published for the first time in Engish translation in the books, "Folk Stories My Grandmother Told Me" and "Cypriot Folk Poems 900-1900AD", by the late Lucy Maroulleti, author, translator and storyteller. Unlike children's fables, these folk stories and poems revive unique aspects of the rural life of the Cypriots in older times about war heroes, love, loss of a loved one among other, while most of them reflect true events.
The event will take place at the Stathakion Cultural Center, 22-51 29th Street, Astoria, NY 11105 which is easily accessible by subway (Astoria N or Q BMT Lines - last stop Ditmars Blvd). All seats at the venue are numbered and an RSVP is preferred. To books seats email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 718-545-1151. For more information please visit, www.cyprecoofamerica.com.

Loading... The Round House (original 2012; edition 2012)by Louise Erdrich
Work detailsThe Round House by Louise Erdrich (2012)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. It's worth a read. I don't count it as a great novel and at times, I was ready to lose interest but I would still recommend giving it a try. It has won some awards so a lot of people with more insight than me thought it was good. Wow. Wow. What else can I say about this. I have read a lot of Erdrich's work, though not all (she is mightily prolific.) I have always admired her work, but never loved it until now. This book feels so intimate I feel as though I lived it with Joe. I won't recap, but I will make a promise inspired by the Round House; I will never scoff at innocence again. Innocence is a beautiful thing. Recensione su: http://wp.me/p3X6aw-5S Review at: http://wp.me/p3X6aw-5S Il romanzo "The round house", ambientato in Nord Dakota e in particolare vicino a una riserva indiana, inizia parlando di un tema tristemente tragico: lo stupro di donne native. La madre del protagonista è vittima di violenza, lo shock renderà difficile ricostruire la vicenda e la donna si richiuderà in se stessa nel tentativo di superarne il ricordo.Il marito, un giudice, e il figlio adolescente Joe cercheranno di scoprire l'autore del gesto e di ottenere giustizia. Il tema è sicuramente interessante e anche l'ambientazione all'interno di una realtà poco conosciuta – quella dei nativi americani – lo è altrettanto: il romanzo fa conoscere un diverso modo di vivere e personaggi vari. Quello che non mi è piaciuto è lo stile utilizzato: tutto viene filtrato dal punto di vista di Joe, dialoghi inclusi, temo che questo abbia appesantito la lettura che ho effettivamente trovato difficile. Un altro aspetto che mi ha poco convinto è l'evoluzione della vicenda; alcuni atteggiamenti del ragazzo e dei suoi amici mi sono parsi troppo eccessivi rispetto alla loro età, può però essere una carenza mia la poca conoscenza del contesto. The novel "The round house", set in Nord Dakota and near a native americans reservation, begins talking about a tragic theme: the rape of native women. The main character's mother undergoes a sexual assault, the shock of the experience makes hard the reconstruction and the woman will close herself up trying to overcome the tragic memory. Her husband, a judge, and her son Joe will try to find out the culprit in order to have justice. The theme is interesting as the setting within a less known reality – the native americans one – the novel describes a different way of living and various characters. The thing I did not like is the writing style: everything is filtered by Joe's POV – dialogues included – and the reading experience was somewhat burdened by this. Another aspect I did not find completely believable is the way of acting of the main character, some actions were quite extreme considering his age, but maybe this is not due to my lack of knowledge about the context. The Round House published 2012 Pages 336pp. Format: ☊ read by Gary Farmer 5 stars Summary Winner, 2012 National Book Award Minnesota Book Award for Novel & Short Story 2013 Louise Erdrich is a Minnesota born and currently living in Minneapolis author. She has some Native American blood. This story, set on a reservation in North Dakota is the coming of age story of Joe. Joe's mother is attacked one Sunday in 1988. Joe is 13 at the time and the event changes his life and he will never again know the tranquility of family life or the joy of youth. It also gives a very good look at family life of Native Americans of the Ojibway. Joe's father who is a judge is unable to bring justice. Joe becomes more and more distant from his parents as teens are apt to do but he also sets on a quest to bring justice where his father was unable. While some of the themes in this book are not new, the setting and the culture and the spiritual life of the Ojibway make this book standout. The characters are all well developed and the voice in my opinion is very Native American. I listened to an audio format read by Gary Farmer who also gave a wonderful rendition of Native American voice. I did have to increase the speed to 1 1/4 because he was a little too slow. It was perfect at the faster speed. The subject matter, a rape of a mother, gives this book emotional impact along with the PTSD that she experienced as well as the look into the life of the older generation and various other members of the tribe including the one white girl who was adopted by a Native American family. The ending is not to be given away but also hits with force. Both of my book clubs chose to read this latest work by Louise Erdrich this month. It is both the 2012 National Book Award Winner and a 2013 WNBA Great Group Reads selection. I hadn't read anything by Erdrich in a very long time until this appeared on both schedules, not having been overly fond of her books in the past and despite the fact that many readers I respect very much have loved them. So I went into this with low expectations and was, for the most part, pleasantly surprised. Told at a remove of many years by a now adult Joe, this is the story of the summer he was thirteen, when his whole world was shattered an remade innocence-free, full of disillusion, and far more adult than it ever should have been. It is the story of the summer his mother was brutally attacked, raped, and barely escaped with her life in a crime that rocked the very foundations of what Joe believes in, his understanding of the justice system, and the way that the world works. Joe's summer is supposed to be spent hanging out with his best friends Cappy, Zack, and Angus, talking about Star Trek and girls but when his mother returns home from work unexpectedly late one evening, covered in blood and drenched in gasoline, his summer takes on a far more menacing hue. His father, Bazil, is a tribal judge and he enlists Joe's help sorting through past cases on which he ruled, in order to try and find possible suspects in the attack. Meanwhile, Joe's mother, Geraldine who has been in charge of tribal enrollment and verifying Indian heritage, retreats into herself, maintaining a blank-eyed silence about all of it, claiming that she didn't know who her attacker was. Of more importance than the identity of her attacker, is the fact that she doesn't know exactly where the attack happened. It was at the Round House, a sacred building for the Ojibwa, but also a place where three different jurisdictions come together: tribal, state, and federal. Without knowing the exact location and because the attacker is non-Native, there can be no persecution of this heinous crime. But Joe is unable to let the inadequate justice system fail his mother and his people and he and his friends start digging into the evidence. They uncover even more than they had expected and set a plan in motion that will change them forever. In this work, Erdrich addresses the inequalities still evidenced in the treatment of and justice offered to Native Americans. She includes long passages about the history of Native American rights and about the culture and heritage of the Ojibwa people. Some of these passages move the story along and others are diversions that can feel out of place in the tale Joe's telling. There are a plethora of characters in the story and most of them are very well fleshed out although a few of them seem to exist only to offer up long digressions out of the flow of the narrative. The narration itself, being told by the adult Joe, yet through his 13 year old eyes can be somewhat conflicted, sometimes offering observations that are out of character for a young teenager but not noted as being from his adult perspective so many years later. The issues raised here are deep and troubling. On the surface, Erdrich is writing about the definition of family; loyalty, both filial and fraternal; the confluence and question of place; and a history that continues to reverberate terribly today. But on a deeper level, she is also addressing the sacred and the profane, silence and stories, and most importantly the question of vengeance versus justice and the many permutations of injustice. She addresses the disenfranchising of women through not only Geraldine's (and Sonya's) inherent femaleness but doubly in Geraldine's case because she is Native American woman and so twice impotent. She captures the sad but inevitable change in a child's vision of his parents, moving Joe from the simple perception of his father and mother as strong and worthy to a disdain for their weakness and inadequacy and ultimately to a more realistic and better understanding of them as human beings with much more complexity to their characters than he had previously allowed. The pace of the narrative is slow and meandering and it is akin to watching a horror movie and wanting to tell the victim "don't go down there, don't open the door, get out while you still can." In other words, there's no question where Joe's desire for justice is going to take him. In the predictable aftermath though, the story takes a confusing and seemingly random twist which I still can't explain in terms of the themes of the story even though it was alluded to right from the very beginning of Joe's reminiscences. Accessibly written over all, this is a glimpse into a terrible truth of Native culture and all that informs it and if I found weaknesses in it, I still think that it contains the seeds of many varied discussions.
With "The Round House," her 14th novel, Louise Erdrich takes us back to the North Dakota Ojibwe reservation that she has conjured and mapped in so many earlier books, and made as indelibly real as Faulkner's Yoknapatawpha County or Joyce's Dublin. This time she focuses on one nuclear family — the 13-year-old Joe Coutts; his mother, Geraldine; and his father, Judge Antone Coutts — that is shattered and remade after a terrible event. Although its plot suffers from a schematic quality that inhibits Ms. Erdrich's talent for elliptical storytelling, the novel showcases her extraordinary ability to delineate the ties of love, resentment, need, duty and sympathy that bind families together. "The Round House" — a National Book Award finalist in the fiction category — opens out to become a detective story and a coming-of-age story, a story about how Joe is initiated into the sadnesses and disillusionments of grown-up life and the somber realities of his people's history. "The Round House" represents something of a departure for Erdrich, whose past novels of Indian life have usually relied on a rotating cast of narrators, a kind of storytelling chorus. Here, though, Joe is the only narrator, and the urgency of his account gives the action the momentum and tight focus of a crime novel, which, in a sense, it is. But for Erdrich, "The Round House" is also a return to form. Each new Erdrich novel adds new layers of pathos and comedy, earthiness and spiritual questing, to her priceless multigenerational drama. "The Round House'' is one of her best — concentrated, suspenseful, and morally profound. Our reviewer, Alan Cheuse, is always in pursuit of great new books. And today, Louise Erdrich's latest "The Round House." I interviewed her earlier this week about the novel. Now, here's Alan's take and he says it's her best yet.

The Federal Housing Administration announced Sept. 13 that it will ease several requirements for the purchase of condominium units through August 2014.
The new guidance is effective for all approvals or reconsiderations submitted for review going forward.
The FHA previously had implemented stricter rules in an effort to protect its emergency insurance fund, which recently has dipped to dangerous levels.
Changes to the rules include the provision that no more than 15 percent of a building's units can be delinquent by 60 days or more on their condo association fees; previously, FHA imposed a 30-day delinquency cap.
Another change provided more specific guidance on how many units investors can own on properties under construction or being converted into condominiums. Investors can own up to 30 percent of the units on some of the projects in order to qualify for FHA financing. However, for projects completed more than one year ago, the FHA still requires at least half of the units to be owner-occupied.
Additional guidance focused on insurance coverage, commercial space limitations and other details.
"It was determined that certain policy adjustments were needed to address current housing market conditions," the FHA announced.
Read the complete FHA announcement.

A Fayetteville man is accused of shooting himself and fabricating a story to investigators about how it happened, authorities said.
Jon Michael Mauldwin, 21, of the 2500 block of Shadyside Lane, was charged Wednesday with filing a false report with law enforcement and misuse of the 911 system, according to the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office.
"We spent time looking for a suspect that never existed," said Debbie Tanna, a sheriff's spokeswoman.
Mauldwin called 911 on Sunday and reported that someone shot at him. He said he returned fire, striking the person, Tanna said.
Mauldwin told investigators that the shooter was in a grassy area behind his home, Tanna said. Investigators combed the area and were unable to find shell casings, she said.
One shot penetrated a bulletproof vest Mauldwin was wearing, Tanna said, but investigators determined it was fired by the man's own gun, a .380-caliber pistol.
Mauldwin was released on an unsecured bond, Tanna said.

Michael Covel talks to Jason Gerlach, principal and managing director of Sunrise Capital Partners (http://www.sunrisecapital.com). Covel talks to Gerlach about the history of Sunrise Capital (they are the first chapter in Covel's book "The Little Book of Trading"), and how it's managed a track record of 32 years with currently just under 700 million under management (AUM). Covel talks to Gerlach about his entrepreneurial background; how panic can be a good thing in certain strategies; the media's misunderstanding of trend following; the advantages of embracing the unknown and taking a "zen" approach to trading; viewing the market as grounds to conduct scientific studies. Covel and Gerlach also discuss Gerlach's appearance on CNBC Asia, and the difficulty of explaining trend following to a general audience. "Thinking different doesn't always mean you will be different." Overall, Gerlach is a wise voice in a sea of misinformation. Learn from his insights. Note: The sound quality dropped some today due a Skype software snafu. Jason rolled with the punches and for that we are most appreciative!

Teddy Allen: Devilishly good holiday it's not a bad thing
It was in Sunday school that I realized, without even being particularly hungry, that the deviled egg was more than an unsung hero.
- Dec. 6, 2013
You will be redirected to the page you want to view in seconds.
It was in Sunday school that I realized, without even being particularly hungry, that the deviled egg was more than an unsung hero.
In the early 1980s, Jaybo and Matth ('with an h') lived in and occasionally, with the help of hundreds of other residents, terrorized the high-rise men's dorms now being demolished by a wrecking ball on the campus of Louisiana Tech University.
