After reading North Adams City Councilor Bona's explanation for considering City Council rule 10A -- that it is, the protection against slander at council meetings -- it is my opinion that this is so far from the truth, he needed to fabricate a reason to justify the rule.
There has not been any slanderous remarks at council meetings. Is exposing emails to the mayor by some councilors, the discussion of agenda items before meetings take place that I have questioned, or that decisions were being made behind closed doors the slander he is talking about? Could they be trying to draw attention away from themselves?
In the past, there has clearly been disruptive behavior by councilors themselves, such as speaking out of turn when not recognized, and muttering during discussion. And, how about the behavior of Council President Michael Bloom screaming at Councilor John Barrett III to be quiet? Isn't this disruptive behavior as well? Where is the decorum?
Is rule 10A going to apply to the councilors and mayor? The mayor can get into a heated discussion at times during the meetings and never be gaveled out of order. Is this proper decorum?
The entire rule seems to be aimed at one person: Me -- in an effort to stifle me from exposing the truth and facts as to how the current administration and council conducts business.
At the General Government Committee, in the first five minutes, the city solicitor stated that the wording of rule 10A was illegal. Committee Chairman Bona, finally realizing how wrong and poorly rule 10A was written, asked the solicitor for guidance.
With the initial knee-jerk reaction and arrogance of the language crafted by Council President Bloom, it appears to be illegal. It not only violates the U.S. Constitution, but also the Massachusetts State Constitution. If they are willing to do that, then we are on track to take to the streets of North Adams to defend the First Amendment rights of free speech.
Councilor Bona stated that my scenario of comparing North Adams to Syria or Egypt is far fetched. Has he ever considered all the atrocities that have taken place in the 20th century?
So let's do the right thing and have some dialogue so a fair compromise can be attained in regard to rule 10A. Because the more the public is shut down, the deeper they will dig and the harder we will fight until you do the right thing for the taxpayers of North Adams.

KIRKSVILLE, MO -- With Fourth of July celebrations in full swing, the Missouri state highway patrol is reminding everyone that they will be out in full force patrolling Missouri highways and waterways looking for impaired drivers and helping those in need this week.
"As far as traffic safety is concerned over this holiday period, the highway patrol will be participating in operation CARE, which is the Combined Accident Reduction Effort. This means that all available troopers will be working at some time over the holiday period. In addition to that, on the peak travel days of July 3rd and 8th, Troop B will be participating in the 20 mile trooper program meaning that troopers will be stationed at 20 mile intervals on US Highway 61, 36, and 63," said Missouri State Highway Patrol Sergeant Brent Bernhardt.
Last year during the Fourth of July holiday, 14 people were killed across Missouri highways. The patrol also reminds you that if you are on a waterway that you must have enough life jackets for everyone on board and anyone under the age of seven must be wearing one at all times.

BarCamp Harrisburg 5 Set for April 6, 2013
Apr 6, 2013
BarCamp Harrisburg 5, an ad-hoc 'unconference' focused on cyber security, coding, learning technologies, and mobile application development, is scheduled for Saturday, April 6, 2013 at Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.
The free event--now in its fourth year at HU--is known as an "unconference" because it is filled with open, participatory events, discussions, and workshops where presentation content is provided by the participants rather than chosen speakers. The annual event draws more than 200 web developers, cloud computing experts, educators, e-learning experts, application developers and software engineers.
Entry is free but a registration is required. The topics for BarCamp Harrisburg 2013 include tracks on web and learning technologies, mobile application development, cyber security and coding.
Make plans to arrive around 9 am have breakfast, network, and post topics you would like to discuss on a schedule board (we'll have markers and a whiteboard available to post topics). Following a brief kick-off meeting with the entire group, the day will consist of sessions broken down into 45-minute blocks. Sessions can be discussions, workshops, or presentation--it's up to you! There will be a break for lunch, followed by afternoon sessions that will run until around 5 pm.
BarCamp Harrisburg is organized by Hauck Interactive and Harrisburg University of Science and Technology.
Past sessions at BarCamp Harrisburg have included building a site using the Gaia Flash Framework; Flash vs. HTML5; Social Media; Open source content management systems; Developing Desktop Applications using AIR; Developing Android Applications; Yahoo! Query Language; How to use SVN with Web projects; Top Photoshop Tricks; Top WordPress and Drupal plugins; Application Performance & Scaling; Best Security Practices; Unix Command Line Productivity Tips; and Applying User Interface Design to Source Code.
The first BarCamp took place in 2005, and since that time BarCamps have been held in over 350 cities all over the world. BarCamp originated as a response to Foo Camp, which was an invitation-only conference. Both conferences are a play on the terms foo, bar, and foobar, which are common placeholder/variable names used by hackers and computer programmers.

The Bar Association of San Francisco (BASF) is a nonprofit voluntary membership organization of over 8,000 attorneys, law students and legal professionals in the Bay Area. Founded in 1872, BASF is one of the largest and most dynamic metropolitan bar associations in the U.S., with a long and distinguished record of community action, public service and service to the legal profession. Our scholarship program was established to reaffirm a commitment to diversity in legal education and the legal profession. Each scholarship involves a substantial three-year commitment to worthy qualified students. The vast majority of scholarships awarded are $10,000 yearly. This program was created in response to the passage of SP-1, the University of California Regent's resolution to end affirmative action and race-based admissions at UC Schools.

It happened at a home located at 4470 West 5855 South. Investigators said a woman woke up with a headache, smelled a strange odor and called Questar. Carbon Monoxide is an odorless gas, but whatever she smelt may have saved her life. A Questar employee came out and his meters detected an extremely high level of the deadly gas.
"His meter started showing 800 parts per million which is very dangerous," said Clint Mecham, Unified Fire. "We start evacuating at 10 parts per million, so extremely high levels."
The woman got out of the house, but her brother was still inside. That's when the Questar employee, fully aware of the dangerous levels, went in after him.
"He went back in and found the male victim unconscious and removed him from the scene himself," said Mecham.
Emergency crews took both the man and woman to the hospital. Two children believed to be ages 11 and 12 also woke up with symptoms of poisoning and were taken to the hospital as a precaution, but are back home now as with their mom.
Crews opened all the windows and doors and cleared the house in a matter of minutes. They discovered piping to a vent was broken which caused the build-up of the deadly gas.
"It replaces the oxygen in the blood stream, so basically your body is suffocating even though it doesn't know its suffocating," said Mecham.
Mecham said the family did have a carbon monoxide detector, but it wasn't working. A family member tells ABC 4 the family also had a security system which was supposed to alert the family, but didn't.
"They have a security system in their house and it's supposed to protect them from a fire, carbon monoxide, a break-in anything out of the ordinary and nobody was contacted," said Kristee Abad.

Diploma Programme curriculum—core requirements
The core of the curriculum model consists of three components.
Extended essay
The extended essay of some 4,000 words offers the opportunity for IB students to investigate a topic of special interest, usually one of the student's six DP subjects, and acquaints them with the independent research and writing skills expected at university. It is intended to promote high-level research and writing skills, intellectual discovery and creativity - resulting in approximately 40 hours of work. It provides students with an opportunity to engage in personal research on a topic of their choice, under the guidance of a supervisor. This leads to a major piece of formally presented, structured writing of no more that 4,000 words, in which ideas and findings are communicated in a reasoned and coherent manner, appropriate to the subject, It is recommended that students follow the completion of the written essay with a short, concluding interview - viva voce - with the supervisor. In countries where normally interviews are required prior to acceptance for employment or for a place at university, the extended essay had proved to be a valuable stimulus for discussion.
From 2011 (first examinations 2013), a world studies extended essay will be offered as a unique alternative.
Theory of knowledge (TOK)
The interdisciplinary TOK course is designed to develop a coherent approach to learning that transcends and unifies the academic areas and encourages appreciation of other cultural perspectives. The theory of knowledge course is in part intended to encourage students to reflect on the huge cultural shifts worldwide around the digital revolution and the information economy. The extent and impact of the changes vary greatly in different parts of the world, but everywhere their implications for knowledge are profound. Theory of knowledge encourages critical thinking about knowledge itself and aims to help young people make sense of that they encounter. Its core content focuses on questions such as the following:
- What counts a knowledge?
- How does it grow?
- What are its limits?
- Who owns knowledge?
- What is the value of knowledge?
- What are the implications of having, or not having, knowledge?
TOK activities and discussions aim to help students discover and express their views on knowledge issues. The course encourages students to share ideas with others and to listen and learn from what others think. In this process students' thinking and their understanding of knowledge as a human construction are shaped, enriched and deepened. Connections may be made between knowledge encountered in different Diploma Programme subjects, in CAS experience or in extended essay research; distinctions between different kinds of knowledge may be clarified.
Creativity, action, service (CAS)
Creativity, action, service is at the heart of the Diploma programme, involving students in a range of activities that take place alongside their academic studies throughout the IB Diploma Programme. The component's three strands, often interwoven with particular activities, are characterized as follows:
- Creativity - arts and other experiences that involve creative thinking
- Action - physical exertion contributing to a healthy lifestyle, complementing academic work elsewhere in the IB Diploma Programme
- Service - an unpaid and voluntary exchange that has a learning benefit for the student.
Creativity, action, service (CAS) encourages students to be involved in activities as individuals and as part of a team that take place in local, national and international contexts. Creativity, action, service enables students to enhance their personal and interpersonal development as well as their social and civic development, through experiential learning, lending an important counterbalance to the academic pressures of the rest of the IB Diploma Programme. It should be both challenging and enjoyable - a personal journey of self-discovery that recognizes each student's individual starting point.
Activities should provide:
- real, purposeful activities, with significant outcomes
- personal challenge - tasks must extend the student and be achievable in scope
- thoughtful consideration, such as planning, reviewing progress and reporting
- reflection on outcomes and personal learning.

I always have a hat whenever I am hiking. It is wide brim and made of synthetic fiber. I underestimated the importance of having a hat only once. This instance was also the only time I ever found myself somewhat lost while hiking. I happened to be hiking in conservation in mid-Missouri. I forgot to bring my hat that day and decided that it was not important to go back and get it. I was wrong. The day was sunny and there was no chance of rain reported by the weather people. It also had not rained in about a week, so I assumed that it was not going to rain. I had four other people with me on the hike and none of them knew how to orienteer or look for forest landmarks. I decided not to bring a GPS since we had a map and compass. All throughout the hike I had been paying attention to landmarks and the map so that I could guide us back when the time came. We had hiked for some time in the conservation area and were ready to head back to the vehicle when a large pop-up storm dumped a deluge of rain on us. The rain quickly covered my glasses and started making them foggy. I tried wiping them down and using my hand to cover them as we walked, but nothing worked. I was effectively blind in the field. Unable to see my landmarks and frustrated, I asked if one of the other group members would be capable of leading the group. One group member stepped up and said that he could do it. Unfortunately, he could not do it. He had not paid attention to the landmarks, so we missed the draw we were supposed to take back to the vehicles and spent hours attempting to look for it. Fortunately, I had followed a cardinal rule of hiking before coming on the hike. I memorized the surrounding area, roads, and trails beforehand. I still had my compass and sense of direction, so we were able to head towards a road that bracketed the eastern side of the conservation area. Once on the road, we were able to easily make our way back to the vehicles. I learned two lessons that day. First, always bring an extra pair of glasses. Second, never forget your hat. If I had my hat, then my glasses would never have gotten wet and I would have been able to see the landmarks and the map. So, be like Aiden in the photo below and come prepared for your hike!
The socks I wear are incredibly cheap, yet effective synthetic athletic socks from the local buy-it-all store. The socks cost about $5 for 3 pairs. They are comfortable and breathable. I have purchased high dollar hiking socks that are not nearly as comfortable as the cheap socks that I use. The brand I purchased was Starter. However, I'm sure there are many other decent brands out there.
I am going to admit up front that I have been using a woefully inadequate pack for my hiking outings for quite some time. The pack I currently use is a cheap Eastport book bag that I picked up during my undergraduate years. The pack provides no support and does not have a frame. It has been the source of many post-hike backaches. The pack that I am thinking about purchasing is an Osprey Stratos series. These packs are very comfortable and provide excellent back support and lots of storage for day hikes. If you are new to hiking, you do not need to invest in an expensive pack. I have gotten by for years with my cheap pack. However, eventually you will want to upgrade.
Stay tuned for part 4, "Hiking Boots."

Performance and Accountability Framework (PAF) was established at the request of private donor and Member States as a means for formalizing a clear set of accountability mechanisms and reporting processes.
The CERF secretariat, and by extension the ERC, uses the PAF to clarify performance expectations and management accountabilities among different actors. It will report according to the mechanisms established in the PAF.
Among other things, the PAF specifies three to five country-level reviews of CERF's value added per year. The reviews are commissioned by the CERF secretariat and conducted by independent evaluation experts.
The purpose of PAF is to ensure that the flexibility and straightforward nature of the Fund is complemented by an appropriate level of transparency and accountability.
The PAF makes use of a logic model approach as a means of clarifying accountability and performance expectations around a set of agreed CERF outputs, outcomes and impacts.
The development of the PAF has helped to identify gaps in the information being collected, and to provide options for filling these gaps.

Mediterranean House PlansMediterranean house plans, as the name implies, reflect the style of homes found in the Mediterranean region, notably Italy and Spain. Mediterranean house plans tend to be open floor plans with high ceilings; they frequently have large outdoor spaces for entertaining and often incorporate a swimming pool in the design. Mediterranean house plans are almost always covered with tile roofs and stucco is the common exterior finish for these home plans. Although common to the sunbelt states, Mediterranean house plans can be found in all areas of the country. We pride ourselves with this outstanding collection of Mediterranean house plans. |

We're just back from TechEd in Berlin where Brad Anderson announced the release candidate for Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) 2010 during his keynote. During the session, Brad highlighted one of the key focus areas in this release - the convergence of security and management. FEP 2010 is deployed, configured, managed, updated, and reported on through System Center Configuration Manager 2007, allowing customers to streamline their client management and security operations. Using FEP to merge these disciplines, organizations can improve desktop protection and lower operational costs.
Since we've posted the release candidate, I've heard a lot of great feedback from trial customers (check out the Customer Evaluation Program), TechEd attendees, and TAP participants on the impact this convergence is already having on their businesses. Customers like Riga Stradins University tell us that the consolidated tools, processes, and infrastructure help them enable new efficiencies:
"The integration of management and security makes our IT organization more agile. We're more efficient in the way that we use our personnel. We've increased the number of people available to respond to security incidents by 20% with no increase in headcount" – Kristaps Cudars, Principle Information Systems Architect
This use of FEP to drive new efficiencies is a persistent theme among the early adopters. With security as part of the console that in many cases they are already using, customers say that their dedicated management personnel can expand their efforts – easily, to help watch over security.
Another interesting comment on efficiency came from Telekom Slovenije. Like many organizations globally, Telekom Solvenije has a single team responsible for desktop management and endpoint security, but the tools they used required completely separate efforts. Already a Configuration Manager customer, and with a long-term contract for their existing anti-virus solution ending, they applied to join the FEP TAP program:
"We had separate silos for managing and securing the infrastructure, even though the same team was responsible for both… The integration of FEP with System Center Configuration Manager lets us break down the silos with our organization and increase efficiency" – Dragoslav Radin, Head of the Division for IT Infrastructure Services
These efficiencies, driven by convergence of security and management, not only allow administrators to do their jobs better and more quickly, as we've discussed here, but they also lower hardware, maintenance, and training costs through the use of a single, multi-purpose infrastructure. I hope you will download and try FEP in your environment.
The Release Candidate of Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) 2010 shipped today and is now available for download here. FEP was built on Configuration Manager 2007 (R2 and R3 supported), so anyone with Configuration Manager deployed now has the unique ability to deliver desktop security on your existing infrastructure. Find out more on the System Center team blog.
- Forefront Team
Today in Berlin at TechEd Europe Microsoft vice president Brad Anderson announced that the Release Candidate of Forefront Endpoint Protection (FEP) 2010 is now available for download and we are on track to release to manufacturing by the end of 2010! Built on System Center Configuration Manager R2 and R3, FEP gives customers the ability to manage and secure their systems on the exact same infrastructure – converging the disciplines of client security and management.
With FEP, desktop antimalware is no longer a discrete set of tools and processes – it is an extension of your existing Configuration Manager deployment, making your endpoint protection:
In addition to our infrastructure and detection updates, FEP includes some great new features like:
We encourage you to take a look at the new RC – and if you happen to be at TechEd EMEA, make sure to stop by our booth!

The Canon 1.4x EF Extender III is designed for Canon L-series telephoto lenses. The extender is perfect for photojournalists, nature and sports photographers who need to get close to distant and challenging subjects. The 1.4x EF Extender III increases the focal length of a lens by a factor of 1.4x while still delivering superb image quality. To ensure the best possible image quality in all shooting conditions, it also combines enhanced environmental protection, redesigned optics and improved data communication between lens and camera.
The extender allows professional photographers to shoot distant subjects without having to carry a number of heavy lenses. The 1.4x EF Extender III features three groups of seven elements, ensuring improved optical performance. All optical elements use Canon's Super Spectra coating, reducing ghosting and flare to minimize post-processing requirements. A new Fluorine Coating on the front and rear elements makes marks, such as spots left by water or fingerprints, much easier to clean than standard coatings.
To facilitate the accurate transfer of imaging data between the lens and camera body, the extender features an integrated processor which ensures all focusing, metering and ID information is available - allowing the photographer to capture crisp, well-exposed images. When combined with the latest range of premium Canon L-series lenses, these extenders enable higher AF accuracy, ensuring perfectly sharp shots, even when capturing moving subjects.
A carefully positioned lens release mechanism also makes it easy to mount the extenders quickly, reducing the time that the camera and lens are exposed to the environment. The extenders offer the exceptional build-quality expected from Canon's professional products, and are resistant to both dust and water, allowing photographers to use them in extreme shooting conditions.
See Lens Compatibility Chart. Please note that the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L will not autofocus with the teleconverter when used on a consumer camera because the maximum aperture will be smaller than f/5.6. Autofocusing will be possible when the lens is used on a professional camera.

text: Home Culture Treme: Cue the Violins With "Treme," David Simon, of "The Wire" fame, says that despite Katrina, New Orleans' music and culture will survive. But that's stating the obvious. By: Natalie Hopkinson Posted: April 9 2010 4:01 PM 0 Getty Images In one early scene of David Simon's new HBO series, Treme, John Goodman plays an English professor standing on a New Orleans dock, giving an interview to a skeptical BBC TV reporter three months after Hurricane Katrina. When the BBC reporter suggests the city should be allowed to rot, the professor grabs the video camera and tries to toss it overboard. Later, he begrudgingly gives another phone interview to an NPR reporter he expects to be more enlightened than the rest of the reporters. "It was NOT a natural disaster!" he thunders. "It was a man-made disaster of EPIC proportions!" Eventually, he aborts the call in a fusillade of curses. This is series co-creator David Simon tweaking his former colleagues in the news media. Never mind that Simon's seminal HBO series, The Wire, achieved something much more important than he ever could in his old life as a newspaperman. Simon, a former Baltimore Sun reporter, still treats his former life as a journalist like a bitter ex whose spouse got the kids, the house, the cars and his vinyl record collection. So Goodman's scene is informing us: the news media? Clueless. They got Hurricane Katrina wrong, wrong, wrong! So what exactly can viewers learn about life in the months following the storm in the opening episodes of Treme? Hurricane Katrina = sad. New Orleans music = good. Cops acted like jerks after the storm. Several noble white people bravely swooped in to try to make things right. The black characters play music and commiserate over their plight. The white characters, like the attorney who plays Goodman's wife, speak truth to power and try to bring the jerks to justice. One such white character, a stoner High Fidelity-like music snob, kindly gives a gay gentrifier a clue: "This is the Treme, dude--the most musically important black neighborhood in America." Treme is saying that despite the (man-made!) tragedy, "black" New Orleans music and culture will endure. Through music, New Orleans honors the dead and achieves kind of a rebirth. Problem is, that's pretty much stating the obvious. Kind of like the camera lingering on the plucky blonde restaurateur who snaps at anyone who asks about the state of her house, " Don't ask!," then sits alone in her tattered house, weeping. To be fair, my expectations are unreasonably high for Treme because of the genius that Simon achieved in The Wire, which never won an Emmy but was widely lauded as the best that television had to offer. And critics keep piling on my expectations with New York Times magazine cover stories, university courses and such. But these expectations are impossible to meet. The Wire was decades in the making for the Maryland-born-and-raised Simon. The pitch-perfect dialogue, the hot-from-the-streets jargon, the inside cop jokes, all reflected Simon's many years on the cops beat following around a family of Baltimore drug addicts. He was in precisely the right place to tell the story of what happens on both sides of the wiretap. He also had enough time to synthesize all of that reporting into an analysis of what that means for cities and society at large. Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

Tan Twan Eng, The Garden of Evening Mists (Myrmidon Books)
Deborah Levy, Swimming Home (And Other Stories/Faber & Faber) Hilary Mantel, Bring up the Bodies (Fourth Estate) Alison Moore, The Lighthouse (Salt) Will Self, Umbrella (Bloomsbury) Jeet Thayil, Narcopolis (Faber & Faber) Urgh. Mantel is great, as is Tan Twan Eng.
Mantel or Eng will win - or possibly Self, to show how trendy and hip the Booker judges are. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The only one I have read (just finished) is Mantel's Bring Up the Bodies, got to be better than the other stuff on offer, and certainly darker than Wolf Hall. Don't know how biased the judges are to a 'follow-up' book. Could never read a book by Will Self . . . just to hear him on the radio is enough to put me off. ;-( |
- Posted by georgia_peach (My Page) on Tue, Sep 11, 12 at 10:42
I'm reading The Garden of the Evening Mists now. I'm around the halfway point. I like it, but not as much as I thought I was going to. I think this is partly due to 1st person narrative in the present tense, which is very hard to pull off. Also, I haven't yet warmed to the narrator. Something about her is very off-putting. Maybe I'll warm up in the 2nd half. We'll see... |
OK - as always, I'm reading the short-list and reviewing here. Starting with Bring Up The Bodies by Hilary Mantel. So, for a start, if you read and enjoyed Wolf Hall, you should read this, and you will enjoy it. The style is similar - effectively a first-person book of Thomas Cromwell, only written in the third person. She's learned from her previous book; it was sometimes difficult to tell exactly who "he" was in that one, and there is no problem (at least for me) in this one. The story is familiar - it's about the few weeks before and just after the execution of Anne Boleyn. Cromwell comes over as a remarkably sympathetic character, considering the single-minded determination with which he ensures that Anne Boleyn and her alleged lovers are executed. It's a marvellous book. It can be read alone, without a doubt - but I think it's even better if you read Wolf Hall first - there is reference to Cromwell's relationship to Thomas Moore and Thomas Cranmer which are better understood if you've read the first. Exceptional novel. She wouldn't be the first to win the Booker with a "sequel" novel - Pat Barker won the Booker in 1995 with The Ghost Road which is the third in a trilogy - but it would be a fantastic achievement to win the Booker with both the original and the sequel. For that reason alone, I'm inclined to think that this will not win. But it's certainly worthy of it. |
btw - here is the discussion we had here about Wolf Hall. I for one would enjoy a further discussion about Bring Up The Bodies. |

Martin, thanks for posting that the "he" issue is no longer an issue in Bring Up The Bodies. I had decided not to read it because Wolf Hall was so annoying but I will download a sample and reconsider. |
Narcopolis, by Jeet Thayal. Hmmm. Very well written, and kept my interest. But oh, the subject matter is so depressing and dreary. There seems to be no sign of anything positive about any of the characters. It's basically about a bunch of drug addicts in Bombay. An Indian Trainspotting? (Not that I'm read Trainspotting, or seen the film...) Not one that appealed to me; I'd be astonished if it won. I'm leaving Evening Mists to last. So I'll give Swimming Home another go next. |
Swimming Home by Deborah Levy. It's short. It's well written. And that's as far as it goes, as far as I'm concerned. This is the second time I've read the book - I did promise myself that if it was shortlisted, I'd give it another go. But it hasn't improved. The basic premise is interesting - two couples, plus the daughter of one of them, go on holiday to a villa in the South of France. They find a good-looking young girl swimming naked in the pool (as you do)... She says that she had got her dates mixed up and was expecting to be able to stay in the villa; they find out that there is nowhere else in the village for her to stay, so they invite her to stay in the villa. Unlikely, but OK, so far as it goes. The story covers the week or so that follows. But it just doesn't work for me. All the characters seem like caricatures to me. We have the brilliant philandering poet; we have the mentally ill fan of said poet, who desperately wants him to read her poem; we have the teenage daughter of said poet, who starts her periods during this week - deeply symbolic, I'm sure; we have the wife of poet who is a war correspondent and has spent most of her married life away from home. We have a cliche'd supporting cast (hippy druggy caretaker; ridiculously good-looking waiter in cafe; couple who run a junk shop back in London, the husband of whom collects antique guns; etc etc.) We have a thin story with a ridiculous ending. We do not, I hope, have a Booker Prize winner. |

I was put off by "Wolf Hall" for the same reason that Frances was. However, I have just got "Bringing Up the Bodies" from the library, so perhaps I will find the reading a bit easier to follow. Certainly the title is intriging! |
FWIW, I liked Bringing Up the Bodies better than Wolf Hall - and I liked Wolf Hall. It is the only one I have read on the shortlist, although I have read a few from the longlist, and it gets my vote. Not that I have a vote. Is Mantel going to write a third book? Would be interesting. |
Umbrella by Will Self. I promised I'd give this a second try if it was shortlisted. There is a good story here, about an old woman who is in a mental home in the seventies, and a doctor who takes an interest in her. We also have a parallel story about the woman when she was young and her relationship with her family and others and also another about the doctor later in life. It's often quite interesting unpicking the various strands of different timestreams in novels like this. But when the whole damn thing is ALSO written in a stream-of-consciousness way, with no paragraphs, no obvious dialogue and lots of use of references from the various timestreams, it just becomes hard work; I can't help feeling that this is an exercise in showing off how clever Will Self is. (The title is a reference to a quote from Ulysses by James Joyce - which sort of gives you a clue about what's going on here.) I suspect that those who claim to enjoy it are those who like to feel how erudite they are, and how superior they are to ordinary readers. But it IS a marvellous tour-de-force, and I'm forced to admire the fact that it's actually more readable that I would have believed. I actually got to page 150 (of about 480) before I finally decided that I'd had enough. It is just too much like hard work. But you know what? I think it's going to win - and it will probably be a book that is studied in Literature classes in the future. |
Alison Moore - The Lighthouse I have to admit that all the books on the shortlist have improved on a second reading. This one has improved sufficiently for me to change my original long-list impression (of not much good) to a really quite positive review. It's the story of a young man on a walking holiday in Germany. He starts at a hotel, and plans on arriving back at the hotel in a week's time. The book alternates between his story as he's on the holiday, and the story of the woman who runs the hotel. As he walks, he's thinking back over his life; the woman also looks back at hers. I don't want to spoil anything - suffice it to say it's a very good story, but unfortunately has not a single pleasant character in it. But it has more depth than I remembered, and is actually quite gripping. It's not going to win. But, on re-reading, I think it deserves to be on the shortlist. Now, onto The Garden of Evening Mists. |
The Garden Of Evening Mists - Tan Twan Eng This is probably the most "normal" novel in the whole set. It's an account of a Straits Chinese woman in Malaya (as it was) and her relationship with a Japanese gardener after the second world war. It's written in the first person, from the point of view of the woman. (The author is male - I'd be interested in hearing from some of the other posters here how well you feel he succeeded in that.) It's a very fine story, and written very well - some lovely touches in it. And it is a book which rewards re-reading, to my mind. This year, the judges have definitely selected books which are unashamedly "literary" - the books have all seemed quite hard going on first reading, and have all improved on a second reading. My summary:- Bring Up the Bodies - I'd love to see it win, but I think the success of Wolf Hall means it probably won't. Umbrella - too hard for me, and in my opinion, too clever-clever. But I can see the quality of the writing, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if it won. The Garden of Evening Mists - a lovely novel - I'd enjoy seeing this win. I suspect it'll just fall short. Narcopolis - naaah. To be fair, I've only read it once, but I can't see enough in it. Swimming Home - Urgh. I hope it doesn't win. The Lighthose - Much better on a second reading. Might be an outsider. So - my prediction is Umbrella or Bring Up the Bodies. Now watch Swimming Home win. The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony at the Victoria and Albert Museum on October 16th. It's normally made at about 10:30 in the evening, London time. |
Just to remind you all - Booker Prize announcement tomorrow - normally about 10:30 London time. |

Hi again. Couple of things. First, I found a program on BBC2 last week (good old iPlayer) reviewing the books on the shortlist. Intelligent - and contrasting! - contributions from John Mullan, A L Kennedy and Rosie Boycott. Link below if you're interested - they have done a good job of reviewing and discussing the books without giving away anything. The other is to tell you that the Booker award is being covered live on BBC News 24 from 9:30 UK time - it'll be announced around 9:40. I'll be watching, of course! |
Here is a link that might be useful: Book Review Program - Booker 2012
Bring up the bodies! Yay! |
That is great news! I have been an admirer of Mantel's for a long time and IMHO her work was Booker-worthy. Can't wait to read her next one. |
- Posted by lydia_yost (My Page) on Wed, Oct 17, 12 at 0:34
Wow! I wanted "Bringing Up the Bodies" to win, but I did not think it would because "Wolf Hall" already had. The judges got it right - on merit. I do think "The Garden of Evening Mists" is exquisite and it would have been worthy, if it had not been up against BUTB. |

Put a few drops of mild, non-phosphate liquid dish detergent in a bowl of warm water. Mix gently. Soak your gold jewelry in the solution for a few minutes. Avoid chlorine and ammonia, as both can discolor the metal. Avoid using toothpaste and baking soda, which are much to abrasive. Remove and gently brush the jewelry with a soft-bristle toothbrush, jewelry brush or eyebrow brush to remove any remaining grime. Now carefully rinse the gold jewelry in warm water to remove the detergent solution. Next, thoroughly dry the gold jewelry with a cotton cloth, any remaining moisture will dull the shine of the gold.
At home, you must remove the buildup of tarnish from your silver jewelry and silver jewelry containing gemstones differently. To clean jewelry that is solely silver, we are going to create an inexpensive silver dip solution. The silver dip works by creating a chemical reaction that removes tarnish. It is a great technique for cleaning silver chains, which are difficult to clean by hand. First, find a bowl or large cup and line the sides with aluminum foil. Next, place your jewelry inside the lined cup or bowl. Cover the jewelry with a small amount of baking soda, just enough so you can barely see the jewelry. Next pour hot water over the jewelry and wait for the bubbling to stop. After the solution has stopped bubbling, rinse and buff the silver jewelry dry with a cotton cloth. You may need to repeat the process up to 5-6 times for badly tarnished pieces. To clean silver jewelry containing gemstones, create a solution of mild detergent and warm water. Gently buff small sections of the jewelry taking care not to touch the gemstone. Rinse and dry to complete the process.
If the jewelry is heavily tarnished or still requires cleaning, you may require a specialized silver cleaning paste or even professional cleaning. Specially formulated silver polishes are your safest option for polishing heavily tarnished silver, especially if you are dealing with an antique or a piece that has intricate designs etched into it. Follow the manufacturer's directions carefully. Moisten a soft silver-polishing cloth or the sponge included with the silver polish and take a little bit of polish. Rub the silver only in straight-line, back-and-forth motions (not in circles). Avoid scrubbing; rather, let the polish do the job. Rinse the silver under running water. Dry the silver completely with a soft, clean cloth.
Over time diamonds begin to look cloudy and lose the natural sparkle and shine that makes them so attractive. The good news is that a quick clean on all but the dirtiest diamonds will restore the original shine and luster. Ammonia solutions are effective at cleaning diamonds but will eventually remove the color from most metals so unless your diamonds are not set in any metals we suggest you avoid cleaning in an Ammonia solution. Dip the diamonds jewelry in a warm solution of water and mild detergent for approximately 2-5 minutes. Then gently scrub the diamond with a soft toothbrush or jewelry brush if you have one. After scrubbing rinse the diamond in warm water to remove any remaining detergent. Buff the diamond dry with your cloth.
Opals are relatively soft, porous and usually quite thin and fragile. The following cleaning tips are only useful for removing small amounts of grime. If your opal has lost its original shine and luster you should definitely visit an opal specialist and have your opals professional cleaned. To remove light amounts of grim with a mild warm soap water solution gently scrub your opal with a soft brush. Rinse the opal and buff dry with your cloth.
If you're cleaning a pearl necklace please ensure the pearls are secure before cleaning. Create a warm solution of soapy water, use small amount of baby soap. Baby soap is gentle and more importantly PH neutral, abrasive soaps will easily damage your pearls. Place the peals in the solution for a minute or so and then rub the pearl dry with your cloth. When cleaning pearls you really need to avoid any form of abrasion. Use only soft cotton or jewelry cloth and gentle soaps.
The majority of gemstones are best cleaned using the same method as Pearls. You may also use a soft toothbrush on hard gemstones to gently scrub away additional grime. You should avoid soaking porous (softer opaque) gemstones instead just wet another cotton or jewelry cloth and clean the gemstone. It's important to dry the gemstone completely to remove any remaining chemicals from the cleaning process. Ultrasonic cleaners will work well for harder gemstones but may cause cracking on softer gemstones, for this reason we suggest taking your jewelry to a professional for heavier cleaning.

"The Life And Times Of Prophecy"
EXCLUSIVE: So I got a homegirl, Abbey Jean Thompson from Nashville, Tennessee, and she's visiting her sister Jennifer Miceli in Hollywood. Last night she was a little bummed out and telling me how much of a not so great time she was having in Hollywood. She was even feeling homesick and she was even thinking about cutting her vacation short and heading back to Nashville today.
So I told her, "Come on girl, relax, I'll show you a good time I promise". So today I decided to pick her up and take her to Malibu with some friends since she's never been. And as we're driving, I see one of those party bus shuttles, and a gang of dudes chillin out front of it, and i was like "There's gotta be a rapper there". Took a closer look and it was Fabolous.
Asked him if he would be down to take a pic with my homegirl from Nashville, and without a word out of his mouth, and not even a smile, he obliged and made Abbey's Day.
The God's timing in all of this is knowing now that just 2 hours before this event, this miraculous 15 second Window of Opportunity that had it been missed, none of this would be possible, not even this post… Fabolous Tweeted from Instagram a picture of himself, where the flash gave an angelic glow over his torso. He simply gave the caption "God Sent Me" in Recognition.
Needless to say Abbey's glad she didn't leave for Nashville today.
And little did Fabolous know that God would send him to brighten up someone's day, completely Unexpectedly.
And Of Course, Props to Proph and the Prophetic Vision

Social Insecurity: The 7 Biggest Retirement Savings Mistakes
Retirement is a big scary word, one that many people aren't prepared for, financially. You know, retirement really isn't that far off. I mean, sure, it could be 30 years away, but that time passes so fast that you should be thinking about saving for retirement in your first job out of college. In fact, I'd argue that you should start saving for retirement as soon as you start working! That way, you don't "miss" the extra money that gets put toward retirement goals. You're already saving, so you get used to spending what you have left in your paycheck. Preparation is half the battle here, so if you can avoid all ten of these biggest retirement savings mistakes, you'll be on the path to eating caviar (not cat food) in your sunset years.

Hi there!
I just bought DA G110v2 and also bought 2 different pads the 6.5-Inch Soft Buff Foam Polishing Pad & 6.5-Inch Soft Buff Foam Finishing Pad. I have a 13 Hyundai Sonata SE I bought about a month and half ago and looking to wax it myself. I have Gold Class Wax for product. I'm thinking I can use the finishing pad and would not hurt the paint right?
Also I live in Florida and this fall/spring is Love Bug season, I noticed with my previous car these nasty bugs ate the front paint away because they were not removed right away. Waxing the car monthly should help to protect the paint right?
Thank you!
Javier aka Rookie ..
