1338	[b]10. Do you have any other noteworthy features? [/b]
123	It's helpful to have a search above to see if any threads like this have been posted before, just so we don't end up with multiple threads of the same topic. Hope it helps :) x
782	@EdParks @BRAKiasaurus By the way, I read that Atticus Lish had recorded an interview for Bookworm; it hasn't aired yet, so I can't verify, but I think I saw that on Tyrant Books' twitter feed.
1477	16. How do you feel about sex? How important is it to you? I am okay with it? ummm...no.
1046	I can’t even get to a search results page from the search.
376	My main issue with A Little Life is more technical. Harold's letters to Willem drew me out of the story whenever they would pop up. I felt they disrupted from the flow of the overall story and I struggled to understand their place in the narrative.
331	Also worth noting: their dismissal of "A Separate Peace" due to its length. I'm glad to see other juries haven't considered this a point of contention (see: Train Dreams, Tinkers, etc.)
1275	local admixture (17), particularly as the hunter-gatherer and
315	First time poster, longtime reader of this blog.Thank you for providing such an interesting forum! I check in here religiously.
1431	3. Time of day? I’m probably dusk. I like the night, when the moon is full. I don’t like the sun, so noon is killer.
1345	[b]5. Do you switch languages or dialects in certain situations? [/b]
477	I think that's great. I loved Fortune Smiles! I really, really, thought A Little Life was well written, but so over the top, so lacking in believability. I felt like it was a chore to get through it.
588	(Just as an example: this year alone he has brought many, many short story collections to my attention. "Sweet Nothing" by Richard Lange is only on my radar because of EdParks.)
1039	OH I get it now. Yes, I was using AND search. In your previous answers I wasn’t realizing you meant as a total setting, not an individual query. Sorry about that! And thanks.
1084	A scientist trying to find a cure for his wife's disease is kicked into a container of chemicals which results in his needing a refrigeration suit to survive ... View Video

838	- Matt's beard is threatening to take over his face. This situation is threatening his status as the prettiest scenery in the house. Trim that shit down, Matt!
1302	Just a hypothetical question. How absolutely bad would a BMW E28 M5 have to be to pass up a chance to buy one in the $8k range?
893	I will be at the Grant Park Summer Shade Festival this coming weekend (August 29 & 30). The festival will be going from 10a-10p on Saturday and 11a-7:30p on Sunday. I always have a blast and look forward to another great time. I will be in Booth #8 which is across the way from where I've been the last few years (#45ish). I have a ton of new stuff I can't wait to show off. I hope you make it out!
1229	Cameron began her role at the club almost six years ago after taking early retirement from Barclays Bank.
756	@EdParks I agree... and am glad! So, did you come to a decision about how many of the Pulitzer winners are, in your estimation, great? I think it's a good question.
231	Bonus Pick: THE SYMPATHIZER - I don't think many people are talking about this one. It doesn't exactly have American themes, as it is narrated by a Vietnamese spy, but he is living in the US for a large chunk of the book. Moreover, it is a book that brilliantly crosses genres.
266	Given that the last couple of winners for Fiction were also bestsellers (meaning they were well on the radar of the reading public), I'm wondering if the jury and board will this year opt for a winner that stands beyond the limelight -- that is, until it's announced as a winner.
475	@AlexKerner @ey814 I really like hearing him talk. Looks like a football player, but has a soft compassionate voice and good sense of humor. Spoken with him a number of times (he's local to the Bay area), and he's awesome--haven't read his collection, but definitely happy for his good fortune (no pun intended).
1444	I consider myself simply pretty. I can't say anything more. Average look.
212	I don't comment on here except usually at this late stage of the game. I love doing my final predictions.
889
171	did anyone post who was on the jury?
1334	[b]4. How is your health? Are you fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? [/b]
409	3. There are 75 books entered for consideration right now, drawn from discussions on this site, best of lists, and award announcements to date. There will be more added as they emerge in other award lists, I'm sure.
793	@ChrisEllis77 Welcome Chris! I'll be interested to hear from the folks on this list about the quality of the writing in this book (versus To Kill a Mockingbird). I wonder how many Advance Reading Copies will be released, if any. Until someone sees the book, seems to me it's all an open question!
594	It's important to be discerning before charging another human being as being homophobic, racist, bigoted, etc. And that's exactly what some on this board have done as regards Ed.
99	Why dont you just become a walking billboard for pepsi and get it over with?
233	Black River (This was a favorite of mine for most of 2015 but it didn't seem to get that much recognition, great book though)
659	I enjoyed All the Light We Cannot See. Is it the best Pulitzer novel in recent memory? No. But it wasn't a horrible novel.
872	We got back from Hawaii at 1:00 this morning, after which I crashed for many, many hours, finally waking at 11:30, which, is unheard of for me. In my defense, it was only 7:30 in Hawaii, and, my sleep pattern must still be there, along with my son.
1038	But I still get 0 results if I search on “obits,” even though “obituaries” gets pages and pages of results.
1318	The woman told a Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office investigator that she forced him off of her, left the room and came back into the room and confronted Hulett. He introduced himself, shook her hand and explained that he had driven her car and brought her to his house, according to documents.
1535	15. What is your sexual orientation? Where do you fall on the Kinsey scale? I am straight.
829	5. Lake time. Yeah...never saw a drop of water this summer. The boat being in dry-dock for the majority of the summer was a major buzz-kill; I'm still irritated by it.
1441	I am a healthy individual. I am fit and not ill or have any conditions.
1068	Max, that is not a Relevanssi feature. It’s coming from your theme. You need to edit your theme search results template to fix the issue.
860	Our first stop was the local Bed, Bath & Beyond, where we picked up the Cub's Pack and Hold order, consisting of his bedding, towels, desk lamp, a few microwave accessories, and bathroom organization items (as an aside, this is a really great program; our day would have been a lot more stressful if we hadn't had the option to pick everything out ahead and to have it waiting when we arrived. It saved us quite a bit of time).
69	2. he cant control that, so its pretty low.
1048	I haven’t got any posts of myself on it yet, just some demo posts. So you can try searching for ’email’ or ‘mobile’ to see how the results look like.
1468	16. What is something you don't want a family member or a friend to find out about you?
1505	5. How do you move? Are you clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? I can be clumsy, I guess.
1351	[b]8. How do you respond to new people or situations? Are you suspicious, relaxed, timid, enthusiastic? [/b]
535	@JohnZ FAMILY is up next, almost done with FATES & FURIES. The latter is well written, but I agree with an earlier comment that it doesn't seem very Pulitzer-ish. I'm also wanting to read Johnson's WELCOME TO BRAGGSVILLE.
593	To be clear, I am also an ally for those whom society attempts to marginalize and condemn. As for the "bystander effect" to which you referred, I do not support it. Nor should views that propagate stereotypes remain "unchecked" (viz., ignored). What I've observed is that those who do not call out such views do so not out of "civility," but rather out of fear and temerity.
1107	When you’re looking for affordable dryer repairs that last, you can count on our company. Our streamlined, no-frills service assures that we can complete repairs quickly and at a price that won’t break the bank. We look forward to working with you!
1486	4. Besides the basic necessities, what do you spend your money on?
301	@MC74 @ChrisEllis77 @ey814 I also get excited each year on the run up to the announcement, but I am finding in recent years I have already read the winner, takes a little from it, don't you think.
142
828	4. Re-create the black and white picture that I took of the kids with Jana's crew back in 2008. Oh, my heart, did I ever accomplish this one.
1510	14. Does you dress the same on the job as you does in your free time? If not, what are the differences? Yeah.
759	PW is just one publication, but I'd be surprised if any Pulitzer winner had something like that in a review...
1455	4. What language/s do you speak, and with how much fluency?
748	@EdParks Keeping an eye out for Alvar's book...I like to buy locally to support my local bookstores, but for some reason most haven't stocked it. It sounded like one of those books that could fly under the radar and then win lots of awards.
546	In truth, though, I wouldn't have minded if Joyce Carol Oates had won for Lovely, Dark, Deep.
1266	In the Skipping Stone model, farmers move out in search of new territories before they have started to blend with the local foragers; the genetic impact of the initiators of the movement is preserved.
694	@EdParks the obscure topics he chooses to write about and the sheer volume of his works puts him out of contention for me. i'm sure he's an excellent writer, but i can't justify reading his books.
311	@BRAKiasaurus This was one of the monthly selections from Book Passage out your way for the signed first edition club, so I'm guessing she is local to you. The PEN/Faulkner isn't a very good predictor of the Pulitzer... this will help Delicious foods in the rankings and, to a lesser degree, The Sympathizer, otherwise not so much.
77	4) he got a haircut and he looks soo much better
545	As it has been with Biography (among other categories), it has also been with Fiction. Adam Johnson won a few years ago for The Orphan Master's Son, and rightly; it is a staggeringly good novel worthy of recognition.
1291	Pre-Columbian North America may be another good example. Farmers and hunter-gatherers lived side-by-side; sometimes peacefully, sometimes not. AFAIK there is no documentation that either group was above-average, particularly violent before the Europeans made them battle each other.
1153	The controversies that exist around MAS relate to gene patenting issues. It is important for developing countries to consider the implications of patent ownership relating to such crops.
1261	For more than a century archaeologists, anthropologists, linguists, and more recently, geneticists, have argued about who the ancestors of Europeans living today were. We know that people lived in Europe before and after the last big ice age and managed to survive by hunting and gathering. We also know that farming spread into Europe from the Near East over the last 9,000 years, thereby increasing the amount of food that can be produced by as much as 100-fold. But the extent to which modern Europeans are descended from either of those two groups has eluded scientists despite many attempts to answer this question.
572	For example, when I watch a movie trailer, I look for the names of those critics and filmmakers whose work I admire. There are some critics who, it has been revealed, offer positive reviews in exchange for receiving perks. These critics I ignore, for I understand their endorsements are not based purely on the film itself.
157	As we continue to transform our company and our industry, we are at the ready. Quad powered. Quad Proud.
1552	I try to carry myself well, but I do tend to slouch a bit.
866	We watched the seal until she made her way back into the water and then we hit the road, again.
276	@AlexKerner Thanks for the smart thinking! You will be please to know that's exactly what we're doing - waiting until after the complete announcement to post the list on the site.
172	@zacharybloomzooey @ey814 I don't operate the PPrize site, but although I don't think there is general opposition to that, I know the site moderator has his hands full keeping up with the tasks around the fiction awards... but, I'll let him respond if that's a possibility.
452	Unlike past years, the list spotlights a few books that haven't gotten much attention, at all. I think that is great, but overall the list is not helpful to us, especially since 2 of 5 are translations. (One of those two certainly DID receive a lot of attention, though.)
813	EEG-- Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electronic impulses within the brain. This is done by having the person being studied wear a series of sensors on the scalp (often done with a "skull cap") Pictures here. The benefit of this is that it is MUCH cheaper and relatively fast.

1376	[b]3. Where do you live? House, apartment, trailer? Is your home your castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Do you share it with others?[/b]
350	@jjose712 @AlexKerner We have had some controversy on this thread earlier about gay themes, etc. We have not touched on the graphic sexual aspect of novels, however. My guess is that that is not a factor in whether awards are won or lost, honestly. Just as Updike won twice for his often-explicit "Rabbit" novels, it comes down to the writing itself and how it contributes to the narrative of the characters.
1522	14. What do you fear? People with fists the size of hams.
1135	In the study, Dr Gurian-Sherman distinguishes between intrinsic yield (also called potential yield), defined as the highest yield which can be achieved under ideal conditions, with operational yield, the yield achieved under normal field conditions when the farmer factors in crop reductions due to pests, drought, or other environmental stresses.
673	Underworld is a mess of a book, but it is brilliant and every page and word works towards its theme. I see why some might have cut parts of it, but I wouldn't have cut anything.
506	Has anyone read "Against the Country"?
1150	GM companies have patented plant genes that they believe are involved in tolerance to drought, heat, flooding, and salinity – but have not succeeded in using these genes to produce a single new crop with these properties. This is because these functions are highly complex and involve many different genes working together in a precisely regulated way. It is beyond existing GM technology to engineer crops with these sophisticated, delicately regulated gene networks for improved tolerance traits.

313	@proseimprint @jfieds2 @tklein27 Yes, it already looks to be a strong year, and the 2017 page is now ready for action...
1124	• Mice fed GM insecticide-producing maize over four generations showed a buildup of abnormal structural changes in various organs (liver, spleen, pancreas), major changes in the pattern of gene function in the gut, reflecting disturbances in the chemistry of this organ system (e.g. in cholesterol production, protein production and breakdown), and, most significantly, reduced fertility19
1106	My electric dryer stopped working and with 3 young kids I need to be able to do laundry. I called Sunday evening and Ilgar was here first thing Monday morning. He had the problem diagnosed and fixed in under an hour! Would definitely recommend Ilgar’s service.
207	@AlexKerner @JpCambert I stand corrected. I was under the impression it was a fictionalized memoir from father to son while reading it.
1516	5. What are your areas of expertise? What, if anything, are you interested in learning more about? I can play drums and I can write real swell.
1454	Soft, tend to mumble with realizing it. I can hesitate...not the best at speaking to others without messing up at times.
886
1527	4. Are there other, unrelated people whom you consider part of your family? What are your relationships with them? My second home is my friend's house and he's like a brother you get along with to me, honestly. We talk about a lot of shit. Sometimes serious, sometimes odd.

@zacharybloomzooey @ey814 I don't operate the PPrize site, but although I don't think there is general opposition to that, I know the site moderator has his hands full keeping up with the tasks around the fiction awards... but, I'll let him respond if that's a possibility.

Unlike past years, the list spotlights a few books that haven't gotten much attention, at all. I think that is great, but overall the list is not helpful to us, especially since 2 of 5 are translations. (One of those two certainly DID receive a lot of attention, though.)

EEG-- Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electronic impulses within the brain. This is done by having the person being studied wear a series of sensors on the scalp (often done with a "skull cap") Pictures here. The benefit of this is that it is MUCH cheaper and relatively fast.

@jjose712 @AlexKerner We have had some controversy on this thread earlier about gay themes, etc. We have not touched on the graphic sexual aspect of novels, however. My guess is that that is not a factor in whether awards are won or lost, honestly. Just as Updike won twice for his often-explicit "Rabbit" novels, it comes down to the writing itself and how it contributes to the narrative of the characters.

In the study, Dr Gurian-Sherman distinguishes between intrinsic yield (also called potential yield), defined as the highest yield which can be achieved under ideal conditions, with operational yield, the yield achieved under normal field conditions when the farmer factors in crop reductions due to pests, drought, or other environmental stresses.

Underworld is a mess of a book, but it is brilliant and every page and word works towards its theme. I see why some might have cut parts of it, but I wouldn't have cut anything.

Has anyone read "Against the Country"?

GM companies have patented plant genes that they believe are involved in tolerance to drought, heat, flooding, and salinity – but have not succeeded in using these genes to produce a single new crop with these properties. This is because these functions are highly complex and involve many different genes working together in a precisely regulated way. It is beyond existing GM technology to engineer crops with these sophisticated, delicately regulated gene networks for improved tolerance traits.

• Mice fed GM insecticide-producing maize over four generations showed a buildup of abnormal structural changes in various organs (liver, spleen, pancreas), major changes in the pattern of gene function in the gut, reflecting disturbances in the chemistry of this organ system (e.g. in cholesterol production, protein production and breakdown), and, most significantly, reduced fertility19

My electric dryer stopped working and with 3 young kids I need to be able to do laundry. I called Sunday evening and Ilgar was here first thing Monday morning. He had the problem diagnosed and fixed in under an hour! Would definitely recommend Ilgar’s service.

@AlexKerner @JpCambert I stand corrected. I was under the impression it was a fictionalized memoir from father to son while reading it.

5. What are your areas of expertise? What, if anything, are you interested in learning more about? I can play drums and I can write real swell.

Soft, tend to mumble with realizing it. I can hesitate...not the best at speaking to others without messing up at times.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom you consider part of your family? What are your relationships with them? My second home is my friend's house and he's like a brother you get along with to me, honestly. We talk about a lot of shit. Sometimes serious, sometimes odd.
