I think using the word "high" is a bad idea, as it (rightly) has a negative connotation. It should be normal for people to have the amazing energy, joy and passion that I (and undoubtedly Mr Raw) feel everyday, but for most people it is an abnormality because they are so lacking in vital energy that every day is a drag in comparison. It's possible for everyone on this planet to feel levels of well being and bliss that far surpasses most people's wildest imagination, and it's really a shame that people continue to trash their bodies and not do the necessary things to feel this way.
When you're happy you probably think that you're happy...but just like SAD eaters thinking that they are healthy, you're barely touching the surface of the joy, passion, well being and bliss that you could be feeling. Lots of people think that they're energetic...since I went sproutarian I realized that even the most energetic people I know are practically fatigued and exhausted 24/7 in comparison. This isn't a high, and it's not unnatural. It's just that the average person can't possibly understand this level of health unless they experience it themselves.
Go for it :)

In two centuries of American ornithology, The Birds of North America
(BNA) is only the fourth comprehensive reference covering the life
histories of North America's breeding birds. Following in the footsteps
of Wilson, Audubon, and Bent, BNA provides a quantum leap in
information beyond what those historic figures were able to assemble.
The print version of BNA was completed in 2002 – 18 volumes, 18,000
pages -- a joint 10 year project of the American Ornithologists' Union, the Cornell Lab of Ornithology,
and the Academy of Natural Sciences.
Now as an online project of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, BNA is
becoming a living resource. Account contents are updated frequently,
with contributions from researchers, citizen scientists, and designated
reviewers and editors. In addition, BNA Online contains image and video
galleries showing plumages, behaviors, habitat, nests and eggs, and
more. And most online BNA accounts now feature recordings of the songs
and calls of their species, recordings selected from the extensive
collection of Cornell's Macaulay Library
of Natural Sounds. Future work will enhance BNA's audio and video
contributions, speed revisions via efforts coordinated online, and
provide a significant boost to the number of photos available to
subscribers. Stay tuned!
What's New in BNA
Update (May) New Fully Revised Species Accounts-- Blackpoll Warbler, revised by William DeLuca, Rebecca Holberton, and Pamela Hunt. This account's photo and audio galleries have been updated.

Brown's head brewer, Peter Martin has been brewing Brown's award winning Ales & Lagers for the past fifteen years. Peter has recently been busy with our new bottling line, procuring hops during a worldwide shortage and out fitting an old factory to house our future production brewery on the Walloomsac River in Hoosick. Peter is responsible for production of over eleven different Brown's Beers. From tank to tap, whether it's Brown's flagship Pale Ale or World Beer Cup Gold Winner Oatmeal Stout, Peter is a hands on Brewer. When not in the brewhouse, Peter is appreciating the outdoors fishing, chiseling a timberframe or spending time with his two daughters out and around his home in Hoosick, NY.
The Taproom at Brown's Brewing Company features over a dozen dependably fresh ales and lagers on draught on any given day. Appropriately and simply named after their styles, our hand-crafted Standards are renowned for their freshness, character and taste.
To honor the water source from which all Brown's Ales & Lagers are made , the Tomhannock Reservoir. Brewed in the traditional style that originated in Pilsen, Czechoslovakia, our Pils is brewed using Saaz Hops (for bittering and finishing during lagering for aroma). Pilsner Malts, and a yeast strain that is used to ferment some of the finest Pilsners in the world combined with the Pilsen - like soft water of Troy's Tomhannock Reservoir. A portion of each pint goes to the Rensselaer Land Trust, to strengthen their watershed education programs.
Malts: Pilsen, White Wheat & Carapils Hops: Saaz
4.75% a.b.v.
Certainly one of our favorites, this unfiltered wheat ale is crafted with an abundance of wheat malt, 2-row brewer's malt, whole hops and a classic Weihenstephan Hefeweizen ale yeast. Straw-colored, immensely refreshing, hazy and bursting with ester flavor our wheat beer has delighted our regulars for years and is true to its Bavarian heritage – even though we don't typically serve it with breakfast like they do in Germany.
Malts: Domestic Pilsner & White Wheat Hops: Mt. Hood
5.0% a.b.v.
Our I.P.A. pours an amber gold with a distinctively rich flavor, significant hop aroma and soft, white and creamy head. We blend two-row pale, caramel and Carapils malts with the finest quality, Chinook, Cascade, Summit, Fuggle and Crystal hops to brew our complex and very tasty version of India Pale Ale.
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale, Caramel & Carapils Hops: Chinook, Cascade, Summit, Crystal & Fuggle
6.5% a.b.v.
Wonderfully drinkable, our flagship Pale Ale's firm malt foundation is brightened with liberal amounts of Chinook bittering hops and a special blend of Mt. Hood and Cascade finishing hops. Deep amber in color, aromatic, rich and complex, this award-winning example of an American Pale Ale has been our most popular ale for the past decade.
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale, White Wheat & Caramel Hops: Chinook, Mt. Hood & Cascade
5.5% a.b.v.
We combine buckets of juicy whole, crushed cherries and raspberries with a strong amber ale to craft this unique, complex and revered taste. Mild whole hop zest and fresh-fruit tartness perfectly balance this ale's big malt character.
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale, Caramel, Wheat & Carapils Fruit: Whole Crushed Sour cherries & Raspberries Hops: Mt. Hood
6.5% a.b.v.
The finest domestic pale and roasted malts, soft hop accents and lots of care give our Brown ale great taste, medium body and lots of devoted fans. Mild, slightly sweet with a chocolate aroma, our Brown Ale is a great companion to any of our Taproom dishes.
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale & Caramel Hops: Mt. Hood
5.0% a.b.v.
2008 World Beer Cup Silver Medal Winner -Few ales are this fine. Starting out life as a classic English Porter, our Whiskey Porter is transferred to a genuine bourbon whiskey barrel for a two month aging. The barrel imparts the fine characteristics of bourbon and oak into an already-complex ale. A delicious, rich and dark ale is the result.
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale, Caramel & Chocolate Hops: Willamette
5.75% a.b.v.
Dark, rich, intense and complex, our Imperial Stout is a force to be respected and savored. Originally brewed in Britain for export to Russia – and said to have been favored by Catherine the Great – Imperial Stout warms with a huge malt character. Each batch of this, our biggest "standard" beer, boasts over 2,000 pounds of malt and massive amounts of domestic whole hops.
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale, Black & Black Barley Hops: Chinook and Summit
10.2% a.b.v.
According to the Association of Brewers, the world's finest Oatmeal Stout is brewed in Troy, NY by Brown's Brewing Company. Brown's Oatmeal Stout took home a Gold Medal at the World Beer Cup held in San Diego, April 2004 – perhaps the most prestigious beer judging event in the world.
Malts: Two Row Pale, Black, Chocolate, Flaked Rolled Oats, Caramel Hops: Willamette
5.25% a.b.v.
Brown's Porter is among the finest examples of this English style ale you'll find anywhere. Robust, smooth, intense and brewery-fresh every time, we build this confident and distinctive Porter with pound upon pound of domestic two-row pale, crystal and chocolate malts. Balanced complement is provided by Willamette bittering hops with Cascade at the finish.
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale, Caramel & Chocolate Hops: Willamette
5.75% a.b.v.
Our traditional seasonal Amber Ale brewed in honor of La Le Padraig - St. Patrick's Day. Medium bodied and malty with moderate hoppiness. A very smooth session ale. "Pionta Brown's Amber, le do thoil!"
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale & Caramel Hops: Willamette
5.25% a.b.v.
This much coveted rare release features 100% locally grown hops from Brown's hop farm in Hoosick Falls and Groveside Natural Farms in Pittstown.
Robust and amber in color with a creamy head, Brown's Harvest I.P.A. is noted for its intense floral aroma and strong hop character that results from wet hop brewing. Wet hop brewing is necessary as the fresh hops picked no less than a day before the brew would spoil if not used immediately, unlike the the dried hops that we use each day.
Malts: Pale, 2 Row Brewer's and Caramel Hop: Locally grown Cascade, Chinook, Nuggett and Willamette.
6.5% a.b.v.
Amber mahogany in color, our traditional Maerzen style lager gets its toasty and nutty flavor from generous amounts of Caramel Munich malt. Our Oktoberfest's slight sweetness is nicely balanced by a note of subtle Saaz hops.
Malts: Caramel Munich 60L, Bonlander Munich, Munich 20L & Pilsner
Hops: Saaz
5.5% a.b.v.
Brewed once a year from locally grown pie pumpkins harvested at Moses Farm in Eagle Bridge, NY, this sturdy ale truly satisfies all the senses. It pours a lovely mahogany-bronze color with just a hint of orange that is complemented by a rich, warm aroma not unlike fresh baked pumpkin pie. Munich malt provides the perfect balance to the sweet pumpkin and spice flavors, giving it rich malty-sweet flavor that finishes dry and clean.
Malts: Munich Caramel Malt, Munich Base Malt, Wheat, Two Row Brewer's. Hops: Mt. Hood
7.0% a.b.v.
Munich malts and beech wood unite to create our Rauchbier, a traditionally German Marzen-style lager that is unique in its orange-brown color and forward, smoky flavor. Peter Martin smokes the malted grain for two days over wet beech wood that originates at Garry and Kelly Brown's farm, a process that gives the beer a smooth and mild smoky flavor while maintaining a slight sweetness, medium body, and clean finish.
Pilsen, Munich, Munich 20L, Munich 60L, Caramel 80L, Wheat. Hops: Saaz
5.6% a.b.v.
A traditional style beer originating from southern Germany. Our Dunkelweizen is an unfiltered wheat beer with a golden bronze color and medium body. The Weihenstephen Weizen ale yeast used provides this Dunkelweizen both a complex wheat beer sharpness and luscious, malty sweetness. It's clove-tinged fruitiness along with a hint of chocolate malt renders this a superb beer.
Malts: Wheat, Pilsen, Bonlander Munich, Caramel, Chocolate & Carapils Hops: German Select
5.0% a.b.v.
A traditional English style strong ale that's mahogany-red in color and fruity in aroma. This "winter warmer" begins with a nutty malt body alongside notes of fruit bread, followed by a warming, dry English hop finish.
Brewed in honor of Clement Clarke Moore's "A Visit From St. Nicholas" which was first published in the Troy, NY Sentinel on December 23, 1823. More popularly known as "Twas the Night Before Christmas" the tale originally featured reindeer "Dunder" and "Blixem" (Dutch for Thunder and Lightening) before later tellings of the fable spoke of Donner and Blitzen.
Malts: Two Row Pale, Caramel, Victory and Wheat Hops: Willamette and Fuggle
7.0% a.b.v.
Golden in color with an effervescent thick, white creamy head, our Belgian Golden Strong Ale is complex and powerful at 9.5% abv. A fruity pineapple and banana flavor with a faint clove aroma is pleasantly dominant from the Belgian yeast strain that we brew this style with.
Malts: Two Row Pale, Pilsen & Flaked Wheat Hops: Mt. Hood
9.5% a.b.v.
Brewed in the similar style as our beloved Hefeweizen but with our American ale yeast. Slightly fruity and refreshingly smooth with a creamy head, our unfiltered American Wheat Ale is perfect for an afternoon on our deck or with one of our delightful Taproom seafood dishes.
Malts: Domestic Pilsner & White Wheat Hops: Summit
5.0% a.b.v.
A Spring seasonal favorite. Our mild and smooth Brown Ale brewed with 100% New York State Maple Syrup. Soft, soothing and pleasantly sweet, our Maple Brown is a lovely companion to cool Spring nights on the deck.
Malts: Domestic Two Row Pale & Caramel Hops: Mt. Hood
5.0% a.b.v.
Our Belgian Blonde Ale is pale in color with a high ester profile in the nose, light to medium body with a marked Belgian character and a clean finish. Belgian Blonde gets it's unique flavor from a strain of Belgian yeast which produces pepper, clove and banana notes and a slight earthy character.
Malts: Pilsen, Caramel 20 L, Flaked Wheat, Belgian Candi Sugar Hops: Saaz
5.0% a.b.v.
A lovely wink and a nod to the British tradition of brewing low gravity pale ales, Brown's Best Bitter is an exceptionally sessionable style. Pouring deep straw to amber, the nose on this beer is complex, combining scents of fruity yeast, toasted malt and traditional English hops. Rich caramel sweetness is highlighted by notes of biscuit and honey and rounded out with a zippy dry hop finish.
Malts: Two Row Pale, Caramel 40, Victory, Carapils & Chocolate Hops: Fuggle & Golding
4.5% a.b.v.
Bright citrus notes combine with piney resins to create the distinct hop character which defines "20", an ale we brewed to commemorate our 20th anniversary. This beer benefits from three separate dry hop additions and the use of Brown's proprietary yeast blend. Hop flavor and aroma are balanced with Pale and Munich malts, creating a complex yet easy drinking celebratory ale. Cheers!
Malts: Two Row Pale, Munich, Carapils Hops: Summit, Cascade & Citra
4.5% a.b.v.
An annual seasonal for us every March. The unmalted roasted barley used in our Dry Irish Stout presents a pronounced malt character while maintaining a drinkable light body and a soothing smooth and creamy texture. Rich in color, this beer pours deep dark brown to nearly black with a slight carbonation and flavor that finishes clean and dry.
Malts: Unmalted Black Barley, Unmalted Roasted Barley, Two Row Brewer's Hops: Willamette
4.2% a.b.v.
Traditional Bavarian lager that's golden straw with hints of deep orange, white head. Floral and slightly bready with a light caramel sweetness and a balanced hop bitterness. Full bodied but finishes quite clean and balanced.
Malts: Pilsen, Munich, Carapils Hops: Mt. Hood
7.0% a.b.v.

The Source of Human Value
In this video, physicist Ard Louis describes that our value and purpose do not come from whether or not we were created by an evolutionary mechanism. Evolution may tell us something about how we were created, but it is not the source of our worth.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
Series: Maker of Heaven and Earth
In his sermon, Dave Swaim discusses the early chapters of Genesis that seemingly contradict scientific evidence, and he suggests that Christians have simply asked the "wrong questions" about this ancient text, which has led to warfare between the two. In light of this, Swaim wraps up his sermon with the three concluding points that he feels sums up the Biblical truth of creation: there is an all-powerful God, he has a perfect plan, and he has given us his love through Jesus Christ.
Ask an Evolutionary Creationist: A Q&A with Dennis Venema
Even if Darwin had never lived and no one else had come up with the idea of common ancestry, modern genomics would have forced us to that conclusion even if there was no other evidence available.
America's Culture Wars: A Different Perspective
In this video Conversation, Rev. N.T. Wright responds to the controversy in evangelicalism about evolution. Is this a "culture war" issue?
Saturday Sermons: The Garden of God
Genesis 2:2-17 places an interesting emphasis on work—not only does God work to bring about all creation, but also, man is called to the task of caring for God's world.

A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Denis Alexander on Understanding Creation Theology
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Made in the Image of God: Human Values and Genomics
Genes and physiology are seen as something different from "us" and "our mind," and they seem to be controlling us, so we can't even change our mind. Humans are presented as pawns of their biology, puppets dancing to the tune of their genetic masters.
Does Evolution Compromise Human Morality?
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Series: Harmonizing Science, Ethics, and Praxis
In this three-part series, Cal DeWitt offers insights and examples of why science and ethics must work together to help us make informed, practical decisions within our society. DeWitt's science-ethics-praxis model provides a framework by which we can live more effectively as God's stewards.
Series: To Serve and Preserve—Genesis 2 and the Human Calling
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Series: "And God Saw That It Was Good": Death and Pain in the Created Order
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Series: Divine Action in the World
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.

Colour Me Happy
51 comments:
Very nice, Mr. McKinty. It was the cover to DIMWB that made me pick it up. Of course, your excellent writing made me buy the sequels as soon as they hit the shelves. :)

are you the same Nikki that won the page proofs? if so, any thoughts? if not, thanks for stopping by and keeping me from the poor house.
- October 5, 2008 at 3:40 PM
- sam said...
That's a good cover. I would have no idea whatsoever about the contents of the book based on the cover, but you're certainly right about B&N. That'll be a good cover for the front tables when people walk into the store. I agree about Dead I Well May Be's cover being good. I think it might have been the initial reason I picked it up. In any case, good luck.
- October 5, 2008 at 5:57 PM

Thanks Sam, I'm proud of this book. A lot went into it and I think its come together pretty well. Probably the hardest I've worked since DIWMB so its nice to have a cover I can run with.

- Michael Stone said...
*nods in agreement* Yep, that's a good eye-catching cover. When there are a lot of books together, a stark white cover stands out a mile. The black border and splashes of red help in that respect, too. I like it very much. It'll look good in my bookcase.
Speaking of face-outs, do you ever go into bookshops and surreptitiously turn your books face-out? Be honest now. (c: - October 5, 2008 at 9:32 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Cheers for that.
I was always too embarrassed to do that. Or used to be. Until about a year ago I couldnt enter the crime section of a bookstore in case I might see one of my books, or not. But in the last six months or so I've come to the realization that shrinking violets shrink and die and that marketing yourself is also a ghastly part of this business. I'd love to be on Thomas Pynchon's lofty perch writing the books and letting them speak for themselves and not bothering with interviews or publicity knowing that 200 000 people (people like me) will buy the new Thomas Pynchon no matter what. But I aint no Thomas Pynchon and you have to do the book readings where no one shows up or the signings at that empty desk in the shopping mall or the book fairs where 500 people are queued up to meet Patsy Cornwwell and 1 kindly soul comes to your table because "you looked so lonely over there" . . . wait a minute where was I? Oh yes. Yes, for my sins, Michael, now, I do face the buggers out! - October 5, 2008 at 9:51 PM

Excellent cover. It makes me excited to see what my publisher comes up with. They'll have to try pretty bloody hard to match yours.

- Gerard Brennan said...
Ooooh, that looks gorgeous. Simple but powerful. Nice one.
Picking up on Mike's facing-out thread, as well as the CSNI thing, I've been employing guerilla marketing tactics on behalf of my favourite authors. Last time I was in the Newcastle bookshop, Smyths, I faced out a copy of Hidden River, McGilloway's Borderlands, Bateman's I Predict a Riot and one of Arlene Hunt's titles. If I'd enough cash I'd have bought Arlene's myself as I didn't have it, but I'm a credit crunch victim. What can you do?
I'm mad, I am.

The jacket looks great. For some reason, it reminded me of this short column I read in the August 10th NYTBR called Cover Stories on the Philip Roth/Milton Glazer connection. It's here, if anyone is interested.
There are actually two other short pieces in the same issue on Pahlaniuk and Murakami's cover artists as well.
That said, I think you are very fortunate in your cover art this time. Have you mentioned the artist's name somewhere that I've missed? Or do they even tell you? - October 6, 2008 at 10:41 AM

love black/white/red, pure class.
can't wait til it comes out! unfortunately the bookstores around my house don't carry your stuff so i can't go and face them out. :/
i did leave DIWMB out at home once and my dad picked it up and then asked me for the other two which must mean he liked them soo...

It is an attractive cover.
Isn't Gallimard known for emphasizing a uniform look rather than that of an individual novel?
And, though I'd never thought about this before, I now find myself wondering what Alfred Hitchcock's favorite font was and Howard Hawks', Ernst Lubitsch's and Jean Renoir's.
Here's a post I made a few months ago about what is probably my favorite crime-novel cover ever.

Thank you for that link. And thank you for the reflected praise. I dont know the name of the artist but I will find out and if she/he wants a public shout out I'll oblige. - October 6, 2008 at 1:00 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Again, you are after my own heart. I sometimes do a little bookshop terrorism myself putting all of the psychic/clairvoyant John Edwards type people's books in "fiction" and sticking Dr Phil in "humour"; it's a harmless frolic. - October 6, 2008 at 1:06 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Lovely stuff. I'm more of a Spinal Tap minimalist myself though "could this BE any more black?"
Gallimard have given me pretty good covers so far and their translator is brilliant bombarding me with about two or three HUNDRED queries per book, which I really appreciate, because I know he's being very careful.
I may be wrong but I think Roisin takes her pseudonym from the song. roisin is rose and I think dubh means dusky or dun coloured. - October 6, 2008 at 1:15 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Dont know about Hawks etc. Kubrick used to read books of fonts for pleasure. I spend hours procrastinating work seeing how a sentence will look in different fonts. A while ago I read this story on Slate, in which a depressing number of famous authors profess their live of Courier!
[I forgot the link code again href= < something right?] - October 6, 2008 at 1:23 PM
- Roisin Dubh said...
hmm i did take it from a song, but not the one everyone thinks. Not the classic one, but "To Youth (My Sweet Roisin Dubh)" by Flogging Molly. of course it means the same thing either way, but i've actually never heard the classic one...
Adrian, you've given me a great idea for next weekend... - October 6, 2008 at 1:58 PM
- adrian mckinty said...
Ah, I see.
I used to be a greeter at the Barnes and Noble on 82 and B/way in NYC. I remember one time we had a famous psychic who came in for a book reading, she got to the second floor and asked me where the events space was. "Shouldn't you already know?" I replied.
She was NOT amused. - October 6, 2008 at 2:42 PM

thank you again marco, i'm going to write that down in my journal so i dont forget this time.
DIWMB hasnt been translated into Italian. I mean bizarrely its been translated into Danish, Serbo-Croat and Bulgarian, but not Italian. I mean what gives? I think Italians would love a good story about non Italian gangsters in NYC. No?
And thanks for the blog link. Not sure what the man said but I'll take your word for it that he said nice things. - October 6, 2008 at 8:05 PM

Thank you for that, I can see what you're saying. Icy, minimalist...Thanks for the docu link. Believe it or not, that is right up my alley. (Yes, I know I'm a geek.)

Ok SPOILER ALERT
in bk 2 Jamie, Ramsay and go back to Altair with Jamie's mum Anna and Ramsay's brother Brian. Wishaway has married Lorca while Jamie has been away. Anna and Brian get kidnapped to Alkhava. Jamie tries to rescue them with Lorca's army but the whole thing is an utter disaster. The army is wiped out, everyone gets slaughtered and Jamie and the gang barely escape with their lives across the Gag Magak glacier. After a lot of hardshipt there they find a crashed alien spaceship that will help them get back to Earth. Lorca betrays Jamie because of Wishaway, selling them out to the baddies. There's another fight, Lorca dies and they all run to the spaceship, just before it takes off the leading baddie General Ksar jumps on board. They pilot the ship back to Earth and crash in the Irish Sea.

A guy named David Hinton, who has translated Tang Dynasty poets, offers as coherent an explantion and justification as I can think of for translating poetry. He does lapse occasionally into wince-making bits about making each new poem a distinct act of uncertainty. But he seems to understand so well how Chinese works that his arguments for his own renderings of the poems into English are utterly convincing. I recommend especially his translations of Po Chu-i, who wrote with such great joy about, among other things, drinking.

I forgot to mention that in addition to all that learning, Hinton seems to understand that the translation produces a new poem. One of my favorites is the last two lines of poem Po Chu-i wrote in his old age:
"And now that I'm packed and ready for that distant voyage,/
what does it matter if I linger on a little while longer here?"

He says he didn't knew you but he soon would have remedied that;you have literature in your blood and a rare gift of storytelling; you're a literature fetishist (all the author name droppings , or maybe the part where you compare Hemingway's loo with Faulkner's); your piece has the structure of a Mahler symphony and reaches a somber and poignant conclusion with the description of child prostitution in Habana Vieja.
Pretty over the top,really.
I should point him to the posts where you show your questionable propension for puns.
And re: Sans serif and puns,I'm sure you knew this already
Marco - October 8, 2008 at 3:55 AM

cheers for that. I've never been compared with Mahler before. Of course its not true, but still I'm flattered.
Ha, ha, yeah my fondness for puns is my downfall, I'll admit it.

Never read him but know of him. Dutch guy interned by the Japanese or something right?
Wait a minute, lemme see what google says...
Ah, very interesting fellow. Not interned. I'll check those out. - October 8, 2008 at 10:02 AM
- Peter Rozovsky said...
The introductions and afterwords to Van Gulik's Judge Dee stories can be as intersting as the stories themselves. He has much to say about the alterations he made to traditional Chinese storytelling when he wrote his own Judge Dee stories. (The original story, which he translated, was an eighteenth-century story based in turn on much earlier plays that in turn had been based on the real Judge Dee, a Tang Dynasty figure.)
Damn, and I forgot to mention my own foray into haiku, composed in the time-honored fashion in a spontaneous exchange of poetry after a Quizzo match at an Irish pub:
A gin and tonic
Another pint of Guinness
What was the question?

Rare Bird? Hope you intended it as a compliment.
I used to work in a social cooperative,an entity which probably doesn't exist outside Italy and provides health, social or educational services.
My cooperative covers a wide range of areas: I mainly teached Italian to immigrants ,children and adults ,but I also helped in many other things.
And since the cooperative was born from a community organization,we did also take part in/organize a lot of activies on purely volunteer basis.
I've relocated to my hometown a few months ago due to problems in the family;while things are now more or less back to normal,I'm still helping out my parents with a few things,and don't know when,or even if,I'll be back to my previous occupation.
At the moment I'm working as a technical translator,which means I work from home,but also that I pass an unhealty number of hours in front of the computer.
This is also the reason why I began exploring the blogosphere;I trickled down to your blog,as well as others, from Mr. Rozovsky's.
I turn to foreign blogs often in part b/c I read a lot in English and in part for escapism,since the current state of affairs in Italy makes me want to bang my head against the wall.
I have what probably is the equivalent of a Masters Degree in English and German,and speak a few other languages.
I like crime,sci-fi and some "mainstream" (for lack of a better term) fiction -after swinging between periods of serial monogamy I've accepted the polyamoric nature of my literary tastes.
I've been known to use for my lessons translations of,for instance,Thomas Disch "Descending" or Ibrahim al-Koni "Nazif al-hagiar".
I'm gay and pretty far to the left (you'd probably consider me anti-American) two things that make me a rare bird indeed in a country which has never been so close to fascism since,well, Fascism.
Marco - October 9, 2008 at 1:00 AM
- adrian mckinty said...
Yeah "rare bird" is a compliment. I've got to admit that if I lived in contemporary Italy I'd be pretty far to the left too. (I'm not though, but not a right wing nut either. I'm a boring centrist who can see the merit in all positions - yawn, yawn)
Your English is flawless I'm not surprised you're a translator, I actually thought you were a Brit living in Italy or something.
I suspect will never agree about the merits of Thomas Pynchon but thats a good thing. TP gets an easy run from his dedicated fans, good to have him taken down a peg. And much as I like Cormac McCarthy someone from the left should really write an article about "The Fascist Art of Cormac McCarthy"
Anyway good to hear from you,
Adrian... - October 9, 2008 at 8:13 AM

Roasted Pork Belly
Well executed European fare
For full reviews, visit my blog at www.ms-skinnyfat.comPollen is Michelin star Chef Jason Atherton's second venture in Singapore, following Esquina (read review here). It also is the second outlet of his London flagship restaurant, Pollen Street Social. The food here is supposed to be Mediterranean-inspired modern European cuisine but really, i don't see or taste the Mediterranean at all. Dinner started with 3 little amuse bouche, all of which distracted us from the important task of creating our menu for the night. Choux bun filled with cheese and truffle. Cracklings served with an apple puree and arancini (breaded rice ball with cheese) served with hummus. Adored the arancini with the creamy risotto style rice. Our starters: The Mosaic of foie gras and confit duck with cherries and tangy apple puree ($40) was quite different from the usual that is served with berries compote. I highly recommend the Trip to Japan 2012 ($38). Stellar succulent and sweet scallop sashimi were served atop marinated daikon in a lemony and saltish broth of sake and mirin. The sea urchin didn't make a difference to the overall dish. Kinda seemed like it was thrown in just to glorify the dish. More snow in this one (horseradish) but it melted when we were happily snapping away. The Scottish lobster ($55) was an elaborate dish. When it was served, we were wondering if we accidentally ordered extra food. This was a 3 course dish and it consisted of an intense lobster bisque, a lobster 'burger' and chilled lobster with fennel cream and sea urchin. Our favorite was the bisque which was served in a wine glass. Exactly the way it should be savored. Next was the burger was done a la atas lobster roll style but with a buttery brioche bun. These were way better than the tasteless rubbery lobster chunks that were served with fennel cream and sea urchin. Again, the sea urchin was purposeless. Our mains- Kurobuta pork belly, braised cheek, charred spring onions, butternut squash, Sudachi lime ($67). There was a great balance of fat and meat. Take away all the sides and you have pork belly done Asian way. This is really good roast pork with kong ba essentially. The caramelized and smokey leek with sweet pumpkin puree were great accompaniments. The overall dish was delightful with the various textures and flavors. Halibut ($70) was recommended by our server. This is a lightly flavored dish and i'm more a fan of strong flavors. Despite that, the simply pan fried fish held up on its own. We were stuffed but we had to have desserts to conclude our Pollen experience. We had the Pollen "Tatin" which was made of Verjusm creme fraiche, caramel jelly, red and green apples ($20). I'd much rather a pot of tea with their stellar petit fours. For that i had the moist matcha cake, perfect lime macaron, smooth coffee chocolate and a piece of candy to end the meal. Overall, the Pollen experience was great. Certainly would recommend Pollen for a special occasion.

The Mail Tribune in Medford reports the pilot, 30-year-old Cody Seeger, was airlifted from the site by Brim Aviation and declined treatment.
The crashed helicopter belongs to Columbia Basin Helicopters in Baker City.

What do you think of Sen. McCain's proposal to allow cable TV channels to be sold a la carte (individually, rather than in bundles with a lot of channels no one wants)? Bear in mind some less popular channels could go by the wayside with no bundling support, and that while overall packages should theoretically decrease in cost, individual channels might cost more.

Budapest's answer to Bond Street17 Nov, 2005, BudapestLondon has Bond Street, Paris has Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Milano has Via Montenapoleone, Vienna has Köhlmarkt, and Budapest will soon have Deák Ferenc utca, Fashion Street. Hungarian development corporation Immobilia Rt has acquired over 8,000 sq m of retail space on Deák Ferenc utca, a 150 metre-long street in the heart of downtown Budapest, opposite five-star hotels Le Meridien and Kempinski Hotel Corvinus. Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker is the exclusive letting agent, and marketing and branding consultant on the scheme. The street is perfectly situated between Budapest's two main squares, Deák Ferenc tér and Vörösmarty tér, and is directly linked to Budapest's high street, Váci utca. Two retail units on Fashion Street have already been completed and successfully leased. Hugo Boss operates a flagship store of 600 sq m and Max Mara one of 300 sq m. Both stores opened in August 2004. Now Immobilia is restoring the remaining buildings in the street and upgrading the retail units to meet modern retailer requirements. The units, ranging in size from 50-4,000 sq m will be ready for handover in summer 2006. "Fashion Street will be an exclusive fashion street in the heart of fashionable Budapest, redeveloped to meet the needs of high-end retailers within classical buildings," says Péter Csipak, CEO of the developer Immobilia. "As well as landscaping the street, we will build an impressive glass roof over Fashion Street, making shopping a pleasure all year round," he adds. Fashion Street will be marketed and managed as Budapest's first high-end fashion destination. "There is considerable potential for high-end retailers to flourish in Budapest. However, so far no high-end street has emerged," says John McKie, Cushman & Wakefield Healey & Baker's Head of Retail in Hungary. "This is the gap which Fashion Street will fill, essentially creating a high-end destination in the Hungarian capital," says John McKie. "We bring to Fashion Street a wealth of experienced and best-pracatice marketing and management techniques from working on some of the most exclusive retail destinations in the world," says Jane Petrie, C&W/H&B's Head of Marketing and Business Development in Hungary. "Fashion Street is branded as a high-end fashion brand, and it will be marketed to selected retailers and future high-spending shoppers as such." Fashion Street was launched at MAPIC in Cannes on 16-18 November 2005. More information can be found at www.fashionstreet.hu

As recently as the early 20th century homeowners were warding off witches and evil spirits by placing shoes, and even dead cats in the walls, which can surprise owners carrying out renovations
The Museum at Northampton, historically the centre of shoe manufacturing in England, has an Index of Concealed Shoes, which registers all footwear discovered within historic houses, not just in the UK but across the world. There are about 1500 items logged and half of them are children's shoes and then women's shoes are more common that men's. The shoes also tend to be well-worn. If not now, shoes once used to retain the foot shape of the wearer and maybe, therefore their spirit.

Speeding Ticket Lawyer In Montana
Consider consulting a speeding ticket lawyer in Montana if you need help fighting a recent traffic ticket or if you want expert legal advice on reducing the consequences of your moving violation. Local law firms and lawyers with experience in traffic court are often more familiar with navigating the MT legal system when it comes to traffic tickets and citations. That's why it's a good idea to speak with a few to see how legal representation could mean lower traffic fines, fewer driving record points and possibly even speeding ticket dismissal.
Not only do speeding ticket attorneys offer expert legal advice that could save you time and money; they will represent you in traffic court so you can skip the trip to the courthouse. This is especially convenient for those who can't easily get out of work or for out-of-state drivers who can't easily return to the town or city in Montana where they were pulled over by law enforcement.

The kiwi gained in local trading ahead of US jobs figures which will likely show the unemployment rate is unchanged in the world's biggest economy.
Spain's government is preparing to make a public announcement on how it's faring.
The kiwi rose to 81.29 US cents at 5pm from 80.88 cents at 8am and 80.91 cents, as the trade-weighted index advanced to 73.44 from 73.
The New Zealand dollar is poised for a 0.6 per cent weekly gain against the greenback and a 1.4 per cent increase on a trade-weighted basis.
Although the US added 100,000 jobs last month its unemployment rate stayed at 8.2 per cent, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists.
Traders are looking to see whether the figures are in line with expectations, or if the US labour market remains weak, increasing the chance of more asset purchases by the Federal Reserve.
"If it confirms another soft payrolls figure, that raises the risk the Fed has to do more," said Joe Carpuso, currency strategist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia in Sydney.
Traders will look to Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy's press conference after a Cabinet meeting to provide an update on the Mediterranean nation's parlous finances.
The kiwi dollar got a small boost from Standard & Poor's reaffirming New Zealand's AA credit rating, saying the government's strong fiscal position is offsetting the nation's high level of external debt.
Investors were put on edge in Northern Hemisphere trading after the European Central Bank failed to deliver any immediate package to shore up the region's debt crisis.
That followed on from the Fed meeting a day earlier, which didn't offer any more clues on whether the central bank will print more money.
The New Zealand dollar climbed to 66.76 euro cents from 66.02 cents at 5pm yesterday, and gained to 52.39 British pence from 52.05 pence.
It increased to 77.59 Australian cents from 77.14 cents, and was little changed at 63.56 yen from 63.48 yen.

To the strains of "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'," officials from the Montreal-based theatrical troupe and MGM Resorts announced Thursday that general ticket sales for the new spectacle would begin March 7.
"ONE" comes on the heels of another Cirque production, "Michael Jackson The Immortal," which played to sellout crowds during its North American tour last year.
"This show will be very, very different," Daniel Lamarre, president and chief executive of Cirque du Soleil, told reporters. He said his company put considerable time into efforts to find "a home for Michael Jackson in Las Vegas."
Four misfits will be at the center of the production. Guided and inspired by Jackson's music, they will travel on an acrobatic and theatrical journey that, according to a news release, will teach them "agility, courage, playfulness, and love."
"We needed to approach this project with a childlike heart," said Jamie King, the show's writer and director, adding that Jackson became his friend and mentor more than 20 years ago.
As loudspeakers blasted "Beat It," several members of the 63-person cast broke into dance in a preview of what's to come.
"How do we mix the music and dance?" creative director Welby Altidor asked. "How would Michael move if he was an acrobat?"
Previews of "Michael Jackson ONE" will begin May 23. The official premiere is slated for June 29, four days after the fourth anniversary of the death of the King of Pop.
Ticket prices will range from $69 to $150 and will be available online or by calling (877) 632-7400.

In observation of the Jewish celebration of Passover, Dogington Post compiled the Definitive Kosher for Passover Dog Food List, with recommendations for Passover-friendly dog foods for Jewish dog owners to feed their four-legged family members.
Boca Raton, FL (PRWEB) March 21, 2013
Monday evening begins the observation of Passover, an 8-day Spring celebration of the freedom of the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt. From the evening of March 25 through the evening of April 2, in recognition of the unleavened bread that the Israelites ate when they left Egypt, Jews do not eat – or keep in their possession – any chametz, or grains that can become chametz.
Chabad.org describes chametz as defined by the Torah as any flour of the five species of grain, which is mixed with water and allowed to ferment before being baked. The five species of grain are wheat, spelt, oats, barley, and rye.
Chametz may not be consumed on Passover, either by eating it, or dissolving it in water and drinking it, and no benefit may be derived from it. It must be either burned or destroyed of in some manner.
Even a minute particle of chametz is forbidden on Passover. Even if the amount of chametz in a mixture is only 1/1000th of the total, the entire mixture is forbidden as chametz.
"Because dogs are family members, sharing our homes and mealtimes, joining us in celebrations, and because Jews cannot be in possession of these grains during Passover," said Brandy Arnold, Content Editor for Dogington Post, "we've compiled a list of Passover-approved dog foods that are highly recommended for quality, healthfulness, and taste."
Experts from MyJewishLearning.com explain, "There is at least one halakhic ruling by Rabbi Avraham Danzig, an 18th century rabbinic authority from Vilna, that permits buying regular dog food that doesn't contain chametz. However, be careful to read the labels and check that what you buy doesn't contain any wheat, barley, or other grains."
The popular dog news site, which reaches 2.6 million dog families each week, published their Definitive List on Tuesday, March 19, to reach Jewish readers in time to prepare for Passover.
It is permitted to feed pets kitniyot ? rice, corn, soy beans, etc. ? which some Jews do not eat on Passover. However, Dogington Post does not recommend food for dogs that contains corn, so the site did not include any food with corn on their list of Passover-friendly dog foods.
"There are many dog foods that do not contain grains in them that didn't make our list," explained Arnold. "This is the only HEALTHY Kosher For Passover list. We have eliminated companies with a history of recalls or products that include corn – which although permitted in dog food on Passover – is actually bad for your dogs."
The Dogington Post's Definitive 2013 Kosher for Passover Dog Food List has been made available to anyone who visits the website.
About Dogington Post:
DogingtonPost.com was created for the love of dogs. It promises a forum of informative articles, newsworthy dog stories, health and breed information, and heartwarming videos. The site addresses current issues affecting dogs and their human parents – from serious health concerns to lifestyle issues on feeding, grooming and the overall well-being and mental health of dogs. It is the Internet newspaper, all about dogs.

Don't forget the reason for the season
By Ken Byler, Up the Creek
Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. That was the first sentence of the third paragraph in an editorial written in response to 8-year-old Virginia O'Hanlon's letter inquiring about the existence of Santa Claus. The editorial was written in 1897 by Frank Church of the New York Sun. The editorial response was to assure a child that the Christmas traditions of faith, hope and charity embodied in an unseen jolly elf dressed in red were values to live by.
Church's editorial in defense of Santa Claus has become America's most-famous editorial of all time.
But Santa Claus doesn't need to be defended anymore. He owns a car factory now, and he's leaving Mercedes Benzes in folks' driveways on Christmas morning. They even come with big red bows on them. Ho ho ho.
A lot of folks believe the Christmas season has turned into way too much about reindeers with red noses, trees, holly, shopping, Post-office crushes and gifting. Even Christmas entertainment has changed. Folks used to look forward to Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops Orchestra or John Williams conducting the Philadelphia Symphony at the Washington, D.C., Christmas celebrations.
This year folks can look forward to Korean gangster rapper "Psy" performing for the president at the "Christmas in Washington" concert. I suspect "Psy" will be performing with the same spirit of joy that he was in a while back when he performed the rap song about "killing Yankees slowly and painfully who are torturing Iraqis and their families." I'm guessing that "Psy" has forgotten about all the "Yankee" blood spilled in his country so he wouldn't have to starve under the Kim family communist dictatorship.
At our house we're trying to hang onto the Christmas-past concept. There may be no presents under the tree, but there is a nativity scene. "Oh, Holy Night" and "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear" are on the record player. We're still sending Christmas cards that say "Merry Christmas." We send cards to folks we haven't heard from in years. We don't even know if some of them are still alive. Whether they are or not isn't the point. The point is remembrance. Each time we address a card to an old friend, a picture of better times spent with them dances through our minds, and old joys are relived.
We give Christmas presents only to little folks. We tell the grandkids that Santa doesn't own a Mercedes factory and they can show Mother they love her without buying her diamonds. We stick a dollar in the Salvation Army bucket every time there's an extra buck in our pocket. Some might say we're cheap. We like to think we're old-fashioned.
It's only my opinion, but I believe that Frank Church's 1897 NY Sun editorial was the first public defense of Christmas traditions. It touched the heart of many in an uneasy time. Virginia O'Hanlon said the editorial "shaped her life in a positive way" and she went on to earn a master's degree at Columbia and a doctorate at Fordham University. She retired as a schoolteacher in 1959.
As for me, I believe it's time for another editorial to lift the hearts of folks out there struggling to make sense of the Christmas season. How about "Yes Virginia, there is Jesus Christ"? He's the reason for the season.

The Waverly football program could be under new leadership when the first day of 2013 training camp arrives.
The Pike County News Watchman reported Tuesday the Waverly City Schools Board of Education met in its Jan. 9 meeting and decided to non-renew the contracts of its football coaching staff, including head coach Rusty Wright. The report mentioned concerns over declining participation in the program.
"We are going to review our football program from junior high up and see if any changes need to be made," Waverly City Schools superintendent Cheryl Francis said.
Supplemental contracts such as coaching positions run on a year-by-year basis. The internal inquiry for the position was posted in accordance to law and the job became available to outside candidates at 2 p.m. Tuesday.
A committee has been created to review all interests before starting the interview process. Wright and his assistants can apply according to Francis and school board president Josh Hobbs.
"We just want to have the chance to look at the program," Francis said. "The numbers have dropped off over the last few years.
"Are we doing what we need to do in the best interest for our students to keep them interested in playing football? We want to do the best we can for the program and the kids."
The Waverly football program has not had a winning season since 2007 when the Tigers finished 9-1 in the regular season and were ousted in the Division IV, Region 15 Semifinals by Westfall. In the five seasons since, Waverly has a combined record of 13-37, which includes an 0-10 mark in 2010.
But Francis said the decision isn't about wins and losses.
"We just want to see where we want the program to go," Francis said. "With the dropping numbers, we just want to see if anything needs to change."
Hobbs reiterated Francis' comments.
"Rusty's heart is in the right place and he certainly has the ability to reapply for the job," Hobbs said. "…We just need to know why we aren't getting the participation.
"We want to find out what we need to do to correct it. In my opinion, we need to employ more tools to make our program competitive."
