1436 | 10. Animal? I don’t really associate myself with any animals. I like sugar gliders, various mythical creatures, and many others. I don’t like anything smelly or large that isn’t outright deadly.
|
296 | Overall I thought it was a nice collection.

213 | The last couple of years I've done pretty terribly. I haven't correctly predicted a winner since Jennifer Egan's (I hadn't read The Orphan Master's Son when it won, but it has since become one of my favorite books, period). I was proud to correctly predict Bob Shacochis's nomination for The Woman Who Lost Her Soul, Nathan Englander's What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank and Chang-Rae Lee's The Surrendered in recent years.
|
97 | It's music made simply for a quick profit.
|
1660 | 6. How attractive are you physically? How do you perceive yourself in the mirror? : Bleh. Hate questions like this. Okay, so I think I'm decent looking. Not gorgeous, but not horrid.
|
370 | I think I'd rather see a relevant novel win the award. So far, my favorite has been "Braggsville", which I read as soon as it was published last February. It remains the strongest book I've read.
|
1021 | Stopwords are words that are not indexed. Large part of any text will consist of support words that are pointless for searching. Those meaningless words would still be the biggest part of the index, were they left in.
|
1503 | Subject: Re: Tell the world about yourself! Sat Sep 05, 2009 10:46 am
|
712 | @EdParks @BRAKiasaurus continues to get better...not striking me as a pulitzer book yet, though.
|
1590 | 9. Are you single, married, divorced, widowed? Have you been married more than once?
|
389 | I can't have an opinion of this year's candidates. Fates and furies will be published here in Spain this year, but it won't be published till at least April
|
509 | It's uneven. You may well enjoy it--and you are welcome to! I was hoping for a literary epic, and it has its moments, but it is also a mystery novel that never entirely pays off on that trope and genre. I honestly want to hear from someone who unabashedly loves the novel!
|
63 | I'm g*y and have awesome gaydar. Kids a little q***r. As for him dating a girl...It's called playing straight. Did it for 5 years myself. It's the easiest game to play. Either way. Listen to real music that talks about real issues, not petty adolesent emotions. Dare to think think for yourself rather than eat the force fed s**t that everyone likes. I hope some of you are smarter than you appear to be..
|
255 | @AlexKerner @GeorgeKing1 @jfieds2 Okay, so let me try to objectively evaluate the utility of the TOB to predict the Pulitzer. I'll honestly try to be objective! (And, I would note, I think the TOB is a fun exercise and I follow it each year.)
|
273 | @jfieds2 We cannot offer any specifics but can tell you the various juries meet at different times throughout the year. We aim to give the Board as much time as we can.
|
1121 | Another reason why any harmful effects of GM foods will be slow to surface and less obvious is because, even in the United States, which has the longest history of GM crop consumption, GM foods account for only a small part of the US diet (maize is less than 15% and soya bean products are less than 5%).
|
797 | Has anyone any ideas or views on it.
|
1480 | 2. Is your religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in your life? Neither really. Not really important. I like learning about religions is all.
|
1515 | 4. What kind of education have you had? Up to grade eleven so far. Its the grade that I'm in now.
|
323 | Yes, good idea. I'll get a new page up very soon.
|
1281 | What I mean is that the ancient hunter-gatherer MtDNA has survived quite well - both the observed one (which excludes smaller percentage haplogroups because of the small sample size), and the inferred one (much of today's MtDNA in Europe is thought to be ancient European, present at least during post-LGM expansion, and likely 10,000 or more years before then). Sure, U* was reduced from 80% or something to 15% - 20%, those things happen, and it apparently was not farmer MtDNA that makes up for the difference, but mostly other old European MtDNA.
|
1015 | The log database can get large. It is possible to automatically trim the logs. Enter a number here, and the logs older than that many days will be automatically removed.
|
779 | I'm honestly not sure I would read Knausgaard's work out of order, myself. The opening of Book 1 is very impressive. It describes the way the body shuts down in death. It is the passage that convinced me to pick up the rest of the books.
|
239 | I also thought that Black River was very impressive and tightly written, so that's my dark horse candidate for this year's prize.
|
962 | @drama queens mum: we were just at the library, scouting out more books! I bet they do have them… love the library!
|
1328 | 3. Either PM it to the handful of people you want to let know more about you, or post it here for us all!
|
1370 | [b]16. How do you feel about sex? How important is it to you? [/b]
|
1360 | [b]4. Are there other, unrelated people whom you consider part of your family? What are your relationships with them? [/b]
|
901 | Huge thanks to everyone that made it out to the show at the Diesel Fueling Station this past Friday night. The folks at Diesel were fantastic and I had a blast. The paintings will be there for about a month before switching out to a different artist. If you saw something you liked but didn't get a chance to grab it please send me an email. THANKS!
|
747 | @EdParks @BRAKiasaurus I don't even remotely require a story to be straightforward in its telling. I also do not feel footnotes to be a gimmick simply because they are rarely used (although many wonderful authors have used them: Wallace, Diaz, etc.). I went to see Walbert speak and she talked about how important it was to her that these be there as interjections, as asides for the reader, things to interrupt the linear train of thought. I think in this case she was crafting an experience--an experience which may be undermined on a device, something she struggled against.
|
742 | Colum McCann's book is exciting, as is Marra's--actually Marra's is more exciting to me than McCann's. Not sure if I care about Johnson's collection, but I will likely pick it up as he is local and will inevitably have at least one signing here in the bay area.
|
1504 | Thanks Acers. ^^ I'll notify you or the next available mod first thing if anyone posts personal data, that's just common sense. I know better than to let people get found. I'm probably one of the most stringent net security advocates you'll ever meet, so I wasn't planning on letting anyone post personal info. Anyways, coolio a third survey taker!
|
1458 | 2. Do you think on your feet, or do you need time to deliberate? Depends. i have ideas on the spot, but certain situations require time.
|
1163 | • Sustainable, low-input, energy-saving practices that conserve and build soil, conserve water, and enhance natural pest resistance and resilience in crops
|
1025 | So, with your theme, we just use the default search widget? Or…do we add it somewhere? This could be made more clear in the documentation for us n00b users. You went in depth on everything else – but this.
|
1196 | Technical Paper Number 7, October 2004. http://www.biotech-info.
|
187 | @kas1985 With 50,000 out there, one will surface, probably without having to pay a premium, though it will demand more now than it did five hours ago :-)
|
1272 | So, yes, the evidence for haplogroup U in pre-Neolithic populations is probably as good as it can get.
|
1043 | I am trying to exclude some pages with “Exclude these posts/pages from search:”. But it doesn’t work. Pages continue appearing on searches. These pages would be “635, 298, 639, 379, 294, 668, 1782, 147, 2920, 2874”. Some solution?
|
1197 | 115. The impact of transgenic plants on natural enemies: a critical
|
1518 | 9. Are you more likely to act, or to react?
|
1771 | I'm at about 5'11, which is the average height in my family, and heavyset.
|
1753 | 7. Do you make friends easily, or do you have trouble getting along with people? I make friends pretty easily after I get over the shyness
|
1050 | i would like to disable indexing of post excerpts. Is it possible?
|
464 | Limited to 500 copies and sells for $1,500
|
1741 | 8. Describe your hair: color, texture, style. brown, thick and often tangled, long and straight
|
979 | To do so, simply remove and re-add the "app" as follows.
|
606 | A curious development--unexpected drama in our little corner of the internet--but I am glad that you, mrbenchly, spoke up. I hadn't yet decided quite how to respond.
|
50 | No extra costs for access? Asking for a disabled access hack if I want to take my chair (Quickie Ti - weighs little, I can just pick it up and put it in, no need for time-consuming ramps), to the pub here in Wirral jacks up the normal fair by about £1.50.
|
438 | Just this year, the board asked the jurors to provide a fourth title for consideration. As it was, the jury nominated Lovely, Dark, Deep; Let Me Be Frank With You; and The Moor's Account. One guesses the fourth title added -- All the Light We Cannot See -- was the eventual winner. (Maybe the board didn't want another ruckus, given to the wrath it incurred in 2011.)
|
153 | Along the way, we also founded the industry’s first and only dedicated research and development subsidiary, set up a network of imaging sites and photography studios, created innovative solutions for our clients (including mailing and distribution breakthroughs like the industry’s first and largest co-mailing technology), picked up awards for printer of the year, best place to work and environmental stewardship, and established a global presence through international partnerships in Latin America, India and Europe.
|
1278 | You have to look at the origin and major inhabited regions and opportunities for huge multiplication of local groups.
|
1832 | 7. Are you eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? Eloquent, unless I'm not thinking or thinking of more than one way to say something at once.
|
146 | Quad is the embodiment of one man's dream to find a better way.
|
1530 | 8. Which do you consider more important: family or friends? Family. I'm always there for my sister mostly but even when my mom's having a hard time, I'm there.
|
1728 | 14. Do you have any rivals or enemies? Not really a rival or an enemy, just some guy I really can't stand...
|
1267 | What we do know is this: first farmers were not local foragers who abandoned the old ways for the new ones. Amalgamation between farmer and forager did not happen quickly as the farming economy spread. Finally it did happen, of course, and either because (i) there were few foragers in the mix, or (ii) their mtDNA was selected against, modern central Europeans have very little mitochondrial descent from the earliest European populations.
|
607 | @EdParks You'll forgive me if I ignore all of your future comments, but after such archaic statements ("I don't particularly enjoy reading gay fiction"; "It would have been a much better novel if Jude had been a woman"; "I just want her to choose her subject matter more judiciously in the future."), I simply don't care what you think.
|
928 | But he said for the most part the work has been progressing, and on any given day up to 100 workers are on the site among the building's four stories.
|
1509 | 13. Do your clothes fit well? Do you feel and look comfortable in them? Yep.
|
1800 | 2. Is your religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in your life? Spiritual and with prayer. I've started to come into this a lot more here lately.
|
1462 | I tend to be timid and suspicious. I am not always good with new people, but there are some if approach me in a friendly manner I will loosen up quickly and get into a conversation with them instantly. Other times I can be enthusiastic about meeting new people, especially if they feel left out.
|
1379 | [b]7. What are your eating habits? Do you skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? [/b]
|
1788 | My hopes, dreams, and aspirations are to become a successful teacher. To help young people find that place in the world where they can make the different. To become a well known author around the world. To love the woman of my dreams until I'm old and gray.
|
1777 | Soft and/or evenly. And I talk easily.
|
937 | |
405 | Lucia Berlin may also turn out to be a strong contender. Been awhile since we've seen a posthumous award.
|
1567 | 7. Describe your temperament. Are you even-tempered or do you have mood swings? Cheerful or melancholy? Laid-back or driven?
|
1779 | Sometimes if I'm trying to make someone laugh.
|
921 | Stevens was inside the Brooks House the day after a five-alarm fire in 2011 caused significant damage to the historic 1871 building, and he has been working almost three years to stabilize and rebuild it.
|
1584 | My best friend is Linzi, but I've a few others close to that status too.
|
1305 | It would probably be a lot cheaper to buy a nice one. Unless a car is mega-valuable, (like certain early 911s and 356s), the math never works out for a restoration.
|
1395 | 6. Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Introvert. Very, very introvert. Large crowds annoy me, I’ll go out of my way not to like anything popular, and I don’t socialize at all.
|
14 | You may use a blender or food processor to keep foods soft.
|
13 | You can eat fruits without sugar or syrup.
|
1437 | I don’t know what other people view me as for any of these, so I’m leaving that part out.
|
1179 | 20. A long-term study on female mice fed on a genetically modified
|
386 | Sorry about the outage. Should be okay now.
|
808 | On the shoulders of giants (Thanks Isaac Newton!)
|
1805 | Hmm.. I'm a bit shy but also outgoing at the same time. I'm not as bad as I used to be. I was known for being the quite one in school, even got an award for it. And the change.. Its really helped, I've met a lot of new people here and there when the opportunity presents itself. I'm not afraid of saying what is on my mind either.
|
1354 | [b]12. Do you have any diagnosable mental disorders? If yes, how do you deal with them? [/b]

1082 | AMMONIA REFRIGERATION IN WAREHOUSES What is ammonia? Pure ammonia (NH3), also known as anhydrous ammonia, is a colorless gas, chemicals; how these chemicals can be detected (such as by monitoring devices, or by smell), what the employer is going to do to protect workers, including emergency ... Read Here
|
1545 | 5. What do you do for a living? Are you good at it? Do you enjoy it, or would you rather be doing something else? I babysit for $100 every two weeks
|
1677 | 5. Who is/was your best friend? How did you meet? : I don't have a best friend right now, except my mom. And my previous best friend isn't worth mentioning.
|
1639 | To be happy, earn the money I need to not worry about how I live and to be there for my friends.
|
737 | In any case, I liked what I read of Bock's novel--but I had to put it down (I don't recall why)--but it was certainly the "City on Fire" of its year. My friend at McSweeneys was dismayed, as they had released something the same week, and Bock's book sucked all the air out of the room.
|
526 | Still, thus far with F & F, the pros are outweighing the cons. I wish I could say the same for A LITTLE LIFE. As it is, I'm still not impressed. Not only that, but Yanagihara loves her split infinitives. I say this not from a place of snobbishness, but from one of perplexity. Clearly, she's an able writer (if a bit detached and clinical), so one wonders why she wouldn't take more time to sculpt her sentences properly.
|
1748 | 5. What are your areas of expertise? What, if anything, are you interested in learning more about? Art, Photography Ancient Egypt, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Fandom in general, kinda; I'm interested in learning more about all those topics
|
238 | A Little LIfe is the best book that I read that pubbed in 2015, but I think its extreme dark subject matter will count against it. If it happened for this book, though, I would be thrilled.
|
1812 | 8. Substance? Water. Give me a good lake any day of the week and I could be content for life.
|
870 | I just wish it wasn't so freaking far away.
|
1457 | 1. How intelligent are you? Are you book-smart or street-smart? I am more street smart as my friend says. O.o I guess a bit of both.
|
289 | At some point, however, the idea of reading the list in reverse came to me. The idea of traveling back in time, as it were, and gleaning social context and possible cultural aesthetics, were too fascinating to pass up.
|
584 | I saw this in the "Briefly Noted" section of the New Yorker. Piqued my interest. Anyone read it? Considering reading it?
|
1798 | Nope. I don't believe in enemies.
|
1296 | I am not convinced by the conclusions of this paper. Wolfgang Haaks paper shows Haplogroup U, H and K living together in the same high density community in Germany during the late neolithic (4000-5000 years). H was in the minority.
