Important notes on articles:
Message:John was an assistant coach with the Buffalo Bills in 1978 when he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, ending his coaching career. The NFL gave him a monthly stipend of $1500, which has never been increased over the years. For 34 years now, John's wife, Bernadine, a nurse, has been at his side caring for him at home. For the last three years, John has been totally helpless and bedridden. He also suffers from Parkinson's-related dementia. Bernadine provides 24/7 care. Not an easy job which requires, among other things, turning a 200lb man several times a day. Recently she has gotten some relief with the county providing a nurse 90 minutes a day, three days a week, to bathe John and attend to other personal needs. For the last year, John's condition has been on a plateau. He has not gotten any worse. Due to the quirky regulations of Medicare, he cannot get any assistance, but should his condition worsen, then he would qualify for Medicare help. John's situation has touched many posters here over the years and NDNation has responded with messages of support and, more importantly, financial contributions. Bernadine told me she has spent thousands of dollars in the last few years just on Depends for John, to give you some idea of where the money goes. She is concerned with her ability to provide John in the future with those things necessary to make his life comfortable, however long he might have left to live. The saint in all of this is Bernadine. She told me that she prays each morning for God to give her the strength to make it through another day, caring for John. She is leading a committed, very difficult life. In this holiday season, if you have a few extra dollars, they would be much appreciated by the Mazur family. They also appreciate the kind words of support they have gotten from so many members on here over the years. Donations should be to sent to: Bernadine Mazur 672 Cornwallis Dr. Mt Laurel NJ 08054-3217.

Been a great ride....but you're killing this team the way you have to tackle now
Time to retire buddy
Thank you Hines Ward...
getting beat over the top now to ...
It's embarrassing for him, and for the coaching staff.
Ed "No Help Over The Top" Reed
Got caught peeking into the backfield. Sit him the rest of the game and let James O get some time.
Ed is finished.
always gambling for int.
DColeman.....so funny!!!!
Reed is a shell of his former self, but who is going to take his place? Look at the rest of the secondary. It isn't very good at all. Webb was the one decent cover guy. Pollard is a big hitter, but not much covering people. The rest of them get burned at various points in the game. Sitting Reed is not an option when the best of the rest is what is out there game after game.
I don't know that anyone would be better, however he clearly has lost the ability to make sure tackles. the thing is he still commands respect in the back - even if we know the threat is hollow. For now, I think not having him there would be worse considering the options.
He's broke, not done.
When he heals, he's going to be fine.
What are you talking about? He's not making the tackles because he can't make the damn tackles. It's got nothing to do with anything anyone else is doing or not doing. That's really one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. If no one else is making them, and he's in position to make them, he's supposed to make them.
Depends, I had the same thing maybe worse with both my shoulders it took each (different times) an easy 6 months to really heal. All good except I can't throw a ball anymore, not that me or Ed needs to. Maybe bag it now and get the surgery for next year, if there is one for him. Afterwards, therapy was a BEAR!
Get him out of here! Please.
He is not going to voluntarily step down or retire. Too much money to be made that he, sure wont make out of football. Time for Harbaugh to grow a pair and do what is best for the team and forget about past glories. After all it is a business when all is said and done.

Beautiful progression in your work ! It's really great to watch. And I love how you put your work in progress stuff up here as well. It's like giving me a glimpse into the way you think. It's really great.

NEW YORK CITY -- You won't have to search your pockets for change to cross one of New York City's bridges from now on. No cash tolls are now in place at the Henry Hudson Bridge, which connects the Bronx with Manhattan.
Drivers can pay with EZ pass, or their license will be photographed and the driver will get a bill in the mail. The toll is $2.20 with EZ pass and $4 without EZ pass. The bridge averages 65,000 vehicles every day. It is the first of the MTA bridges and tunnels to go cashless.

After 2 weeks with everything Dio-esque (well, I was heavily stuck with the Elf albums 2 and 3, the Rainbow albums & Dio-era Black Sabbath albums), I just rocked through the FANTASTIC live DVD "Stage Fright". A powerful show indeed, a set that I too got to experience mostly during the late 2005 European tour, the sets in 2004 & 2005 were just about identical with only minor changes. This DVD is a perfect token of remembrance from the time when Motorhead was still only 30 years of age. I wonder what Motorhead will give us in this celebratory year when the band has been rocking and rolling for 35 years...at least a new album is in the works and some gigs are coming up as well, I guess another live DVD will be made to be coupled with the already made Lemmy documentary.
I noticed that also Dio was there at the catering with all the other people, giving his usual big smile while listening something that Lemmy was telling him...God I miss him!

News, Views & Clues on today's photography by Lauren Odell Usher
Fine arts photography by Mark Lindsay, digital imaging, Photoshop, Lightroom, InDesign and photography tutoring, and fine arts prints for artists and graphic arts professionals.
If I had no calendar I'd gauge my seasons by the rising sun. It seems to be better way to do things anyway. Humans are always screwing around with calendars and time and making a mess of them. Twice per year we think we're very clever to move our clocks back or forth in the interest of "saving" daylight. It's a ridiculous notion that does nothing but make everyone cranky on the two Sunday mornings after this feeble attempt of sorcery. Calendars and clocks cause a lot of anxiety in this world. We'd all be better off just paying attention to the sun.
Morning walks on the boardwalks of the Jersey Shore—something I experienced often in my youth—were always weird. The amusements and food concessions were meant to be experienced at night, or at the very least at dusk. Mornings on the boardwalk were akin to waking up on the on the living room couch on the morning after a party. Stale odors and bits of refuse mixed with the ambience of the misty, salt air. The rising sun revealed stragglers who seemed just a little lost. The fun was over. Morning's clarity brought new light to the hangover of too much fun and spent adrenaline. Yes, morning walks on the New Jersey's boardwalks were strange—but I loved them anyway.
The fog of the Veneto had smothered the entire Venetian Lagoon with a cottony wall of cold vapor. There was nothing to see on this vaporetto ride out to the Lido—nothing outside the windows that is. Inside the cramped boat's cabin, I stared at the back of a fellow passenger. He, in turn, was staring at the back of the person in front of him. And on it went from back to front of the boat. Like several hundred anchovies in a tin can—the salted kind from Sicily—we were jammed into the steel confines of this listing vessel. It seemed like a one-way trip to Purgatory.
Wild animals come into our lives for only brief moments. One must be deft at beholding them. A photographer must also be quiet and at the ready. Fiddling around with cameras and settings can mean lost opportunity. The whirring of autofocus and the thunderous thud of an SLR shutter can scare off humans in the wild, let alone other warm-blooded creatures
When I was a very young boy all the gas stations in our town had colorful, little propellors strung between posts. Designed to attract customers, the propellors would spin in the breeze and make an odd, fluttering sound that I still remember well. I'd look out the window of the back seat of our station wagon and watch the propellors in marvel. I'd roll down the window so that I could hear their sound. I'd get down low as to get a good view of the propellors in the sky. I wondered if they might take off at any moment, carrying the gas stations with them.
Sunday's farmers market during the summer is always packed. It's that way in the summer. No one can resist the fresh corn or the plump, red tomatoes. And the peach guy has about twenty samples on which some people gorge for about twenty minutes. They look like overgrown chipmunks, cheeks full of peach slices and the juice dripping off their chins. The long days attract mothers and their strollers and fathers and their sons. Mixed among the seasonal hoards are the regulars who I see week in and week out, even in the lean months of January when broccoli seems to be the only star of the market.
"I need to photograph more," I said to myself on a crisp, spring day. I was in one of those artist's slumps where I felt the desire to make something but not quite having the energy to lift myself from my chair. Instead I rocked myself into further justification for doing nothing. I looked out my window knowing that I was wasting a perfectly good day.
My dad was a people watcher. He could sit in a public place all day long and watch the world as it passed by him. I grew up in New Jersey—the outer suburbs of New York. An area ruled by autos, it was rare for us to take public transportation anywhere. But, when we did take the bus, the train, or the ferry, my dad would invent stories about the people on them. I suspect that we all play this game whether consciously or not. We label people and assume certain aspects about their lives. The mental stories become more elaborate when we're forced into the idle observation associated with public transit.
The San Francisco waterfront was still gray from the early-morning summer fog. For the second time in two weeks I'd visited this very spot with my camera. The waterfront seemed different on this day. As I looked deep into the bay, the reflections danced with a darkness that I found compelling. Mostly amorphous, they changed as we came up adjacent to the San Francisco Bay Bridge. These long, linear reflections made me stop in my tracks. The bridge has become familiar after ten thousand visits to this waterfront, seaming nothing like it did the first time I laid eyes on it some thirty years ago. Back then the sight of the bridge made me gasp, now it brought a faint smile and a deep breath of gratitude.
I suppose that there's a prevailing attitude among Photoshop users that there are a few go-to blend modes that are useful. The rest are thought of as curiosities, maybe a way to relieve tedium when image-editing fatigue sets in. Case in point: directly below Normal on the blend-mode list resides a mode called Dissolve. If one is driving down the road of blend-mode options, this is one exit that most people pass by. It seems like a route to nowhere.
Normal. What does that ever mean in life anyway? I digress. Choosing to avoid a philosophical debate, let's stick to Photoshop blend modes. In fact, we'll be devoting a vast, new series of posts to the discussion of blend modes. And we'll do that in great depth for there's really nothing more powerful in Photoshop nor so accessible. Blend modes give us both instant satisfaction and provide nuanced and sophisticated power. We'll start at the beginning, we'll start with the default blend mode. We'll start with normal.
Assign Profile…
Convert to Profile…
These are two of the most powerful commands in Photoshop—and among the least understood. They sound interchangeable. They sound compatible. Yet, even though they're related, they are worlds apart in function. My students and clients often get into trouble with these evil twins. Let's see if we can pull them apart and demystify their purpose.
Let's establish this right from the start. It's not your imagination—color management isn't easy. It isn't easy because your eyes and your brain and the colorful world around you are all complex. Trying to replicate the way we see and perceive is loaded with conditions and options. The world of color is certainly wonderful but it can present a bewildering mess to the uninitiated. Just try reproducing that certain shade of perfect blue in a photograph or on a lithographic printing press. But, rest assured. As much as color can be challenging, it is also ever rewarding. And the tools we have today to tame it are better than they ever have been before.
When working in the Lab color mode we can quickly and easily enhance color separation and saturation in myriad ways. As we've discussed in previous posts, the essential key is to increase the contrast of the a and/or b channels of the image. This can be done manually and individually (to each channel) with Curve or Levels adjustments or we might duplicate merge all layers onto a new, top layer and modify the blend mode of that layer. One of the most effective techniques of this type is the Multiply and Layer Mask Technique inspired by the great master of Lab, Dan Margulis. This not only enhances color but also deepens light areas of the image and will add some contour enhancement to the overall image as well.
Where we last left off on our Lab adventure we'd described a colorspace that could enhance and separate colors with both the a and b channels. These channels respond wildly to increased contrast, in ways that border on miraculous. Colors increase in saturation, separation, and definition. It is the most basic and fundamental move in the Lab-editing arsenal.
We've discussed channels in this blog before. Channels are the grayscale image components of which a digital image is comprised (for more information on channels, please go to the blog post, Channeling Channels). In our more common colorspaces, these channels actually look like familiar, black & white depictions of our original scene. However, in the Lab colorspace our channels look entirely different. It's as if we'd scurried down the rabbit hole into Alice's wonderland where things don't quite make sense anymore.
I ruin a lot of nice conversations by bringing up the subject of Lab Color Mode. It's not that people aren't interested in what Lab can do, it simply takes me too long to get to the benefits of this powerful image-editing tool. Like most color-theory discussions, there are few people who consider Lab to be cocktail conversation. One of my failings is that I'm an odd fellow who is actually entertained by color theory. So I need to be careful. Lab color theory is not something most people want to hear about. However, turning listless, lifeless, boring, or damaged photos into exciting images is a topic that many find worthwhile. So, let's start there and see where it takes us.
Image sharpening can be achieved in myriad ways. While variations are endless, the goal remains the same. We wish to sharpen and enhance desired edges yet avoid sharpening any noise or other artifacts. This can be tricky because most sharpening tools look at all edges, not just the ones we find pleasing or essential.
A large part of the beauty and potential of alpha channels is how sophisticated they can be. When working in photomontage we most often desire a mask that eliminates a significant portion of an image element (typically a background) so that it can be composited into a base image. This helps create the illusion of unity and believability of the final composition. Yet, there are times when a mask should have translucency in at least some parts of it in order to make the results look real.

My boyfriend and I just wanted to spend a night alone together so we got a hotel in Waldorf, which is where I live. We arrived there and we noticed that... the hotel was under MAJOR renovations! The lobby and hallways were a construction zones so I was scared to walk in the room but when we walked in I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious, clean and more elegant than any Days Inn I've been in before. The only complaint I have is the fact that the shower curtain was way too short and water does inevitably puddle on the floor. The staff was all beautiful Indian woman haha (just an observation and didn't make any difference)and they were great. The continental breakfast was extremely lame and there was hardly anything to choose from. But overall I would stay there again, renovations and all. חוות דעת אורח של Hotels.com מתאריך 30 ספטמבר, 2012

DOBSON — The Surry County Board of Education's meeting Monday in the Surry Early College High School of Design auditorium included a diverse agenda which saw action on school lunch prices as well as improvement projects to several schools and recognition of students achievements.
Reluctantly, the board followed a presentation of options to bring the district in line with requirements of the Federal Healthy Hungar Free Kids Act (HHFK) on by raising school lunch prices for elementary schools from $1.90 to $2 and from $2.10 to $2.20 for high schools and middle schools effective in the 2013-14 school year. Director of Child Nutrition Sherri Parks told the board the county program is experiencing a decrease in participation and supplemental sales. Surry County's free and reduced participation rate is 63 percent.
She said participation in the program has decreased 4.4 percent compared to the 2011-12 school year. Parks suggested the decrease may be due to the 2012-13 price increase and some of the changes to school meals as a result of dietary requirements of the HHFK. Parks said changes from earlier items to more whole grain, whole wheat and items containing much less salt may be so different from what is eaten at home, so participants are just not comfortable with the options offered.
Parks told the board school systems across the nation also have experienced a decrease in meal participation and cautioned them that a meal price increase for 2013-14 could further decrease participation and an additional loss of revenue. Parks told the board it had an option to use non-federal monies from its general fund to supplement the program so the mandated Minimum Average Price would not have to be met.
She shared 2012-13 school lunch prices from other areas for comparison. According to information from Parks, Mount Airy City Schools charged $2.10 for elementary meals and $2.35 for high school and middle school. This district has a free and reduced lunch participation rate of 51.69 percent.
Yadkin County charges $2 for elementary lunches and $2.25 for middle and high school meals with a total of 48.82 percent participating in free and reduced lunches. Stokes County's prices are $2 for elementary lunches and $2.25 for middle and high school meals. The free and reduced meal participation rate for the system is 40.81 percent.
In other action, the board approved a bid from Commercial Air Systems, Inc. of $32,400 for completion of the air conditioning project of the Flat Rock Elementary School gymnasium.
Following a discussion of the results of bidding for the White Plains Elementary School roofing project from Schools Superintendent Dr. Travis Reeves and Director of Plant Operations Robert Draughn, AAR Inc. of Kernersville was chosen as the general contractor for the project contingent on approval of funding from the Board of County Commissioners. The low bid from the firm to re-shingle and install a standing seam metal roof on the school was $674,036.
Four students were recognized for participating in the Duke University Talent Identification Program's Seventh Grade Talent Search. Duke TIP works with students, their families and educators to get students to reach their highest potential. Candidates are invited to take the ACT or the SAT college entrance exams to gain insight into their academic abilities. The students congratulated were Central Middle's Preston Nassar and Mackenzie Boyles and Pilot Mountain Middle students Daphne Dotson and Robert Joyce.
The board congratulated Rockford Elementary student Abe Martinez and Cora Perryman from Westfield Elementary for having their art designs selected for print in the 2013-2014 North Carolina Farm to School Calendar. The contest received more than 2,370 entries from 43 counties. The program promotes agriculture in the state with student artwork.
Pilot Mountain Middle School's Battle of the Books team and Coach Rene Mosley were recognized by the board for advancing to regional competition. Presenter Sonia Dickerson told the board for three of six years the PMMS teams have advanced to the state level. In 2010, the team placed second in state and captured the state title in 2011. The team is set to compete Thursday at UNCG for another chance at a state title.
Members of the board of education also congratulated six students for their success in the N.C. Science, Mathematics and Technology Education Center science and mathematics competitions. The students were selected as regional science fair winners and also participated in the state competition. Surry Early College students Brittney Mauck and Lauren Henderson were honored for placing second in the Senior Division Engineering and Technology competition. Their project was titled "I Will Never Let Go."
Surry Central's Christine Hawks and Bethany Rollins captured first place in the Engineering and Technology Senior Division with a project titled "Gone with the Wind." Hunter Ayers, also from Surry Central, was second in the Senior Biological Science A division with a project titled "Deer Tracks," and Wes Tucker of Pilot Mountain Elementary School won in the Elementary Division with a project titled "Need a Lift?"
The board also approved to grant an easement to the North Carolina Department of Transportation for a small area of the East Surry High School property for the Old Westfield Road bridge replacement. The DOT will close the ramp and a portion of the road in this area for an estimated 18 months to replace the bridge. The proposed detour route will be from U.S. 52 to Cook School Road and then to Matthews Road.

While we can't make healthcare professionals into mind-readers, we can become better at communicating our needs and concerns to them. The more serious our medical condition is, the more critical this dialogue becomes in planning our care. We at the Center for Communication in Medicine have made it our mission to bridge communication between patients, families and healthcare providers. In this workshop we'll introduce a video and workbook developed to empower patients to begin the conversations essential to shared healthcare decision-making.
"You've got to communicate what you want to do."

Lately I've seen couscous take a back seat on the quinoa bandwagon, so I thought it was about time to bring it to the foreground again. Mixing the couscous with arugula and spinach stretched out the ingredients and we were able to get two delicious meals of it.
This was a great meal for a hot summer night, and was even better the next day after the flavours had soaked in. Add some sliced avocado for a little extra umph and put it into a whole wheat pita with humus for lunch the next day. Yummers.
Mediterranean Couscous Salad
1 cup couscous
1 big clove garlic, minced
1 roma tomato, finely chopped
1/2 cup each of cucumber, red, yellow, and orange peppers, finely chopped
red onion, finely chopped (to your taste)
4-5 depitted olives and a splash of olive juice
a big handful each of arugula and spinach
juice from half a lemon. Garnish with extra lemon slices and/or zest
fresh feta, to your taste.
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
2-3 tbsp olive oil
Pour 1 cup uncooked couscous into 1 cup salted boiling water. Remove from heat and let stand for 3 minutes. When cooked, drizzle with olive oil and fluff with a fork.
Chop tomatoes, cucumber, peppers, olives, and onion to similarly sized pieces. Add vegetables to couscous along with minced garlic, parsley, crumbled feta, and the juice from half a lemon. If you've bought bottled olives, adding a splash of the juices extends the flavour without having to use a lot of olives.
In a large salad bowl pour two tablespoons olive oil over arugula and spinach. Add couscous and mix. Salt and pepper to taste, garnish with lemon zest or additional lemon wedges.
I had every intention of making my own rosemary/garlic/thyme/lemon chicken, even bought all the ingredients… then I stumbled upon Jackson's Rotisserie at The Public Market and everything smelt so good and it was all ready to eat … so I caved a bought a pre-made chicken. It was delicious, but next time I will make my own.

David Moyes has not been spoken to by Spurs officials
Everton manager David Moyes has insisted that there has been no contact from Tottenham over the vacant managers post.
The Soct has been in the Toffees role for 10 years and guided the club to a seventh placed finish last season, above fierce rivals Liverpool.
Moyes said: "There has been no contact. If there had been contact, the first person I would have told would be the chairman."
Former Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas and Wigan manager Roberto Martinez are also linked with the role.

On this day I was working as an intake worker, undergoing the procedure of intaking a new youth to Shelter. My second intake was a first timer to Covenant House Vancouver. She sat down in the office hunched over, wide-eyed and clearly uncomfortable. She had severe anxiety from living on the street, and literally had nothing but the clothes on her back. She had lost all of her identification and was suffering from some pressing medical concerns. Luckily, someone had referred her to Covenant House.
It felt amazing to be the person to tell her that she was in a safe place, and that the staff were all here to help her. When reviewing the behaviour expectations of Covenant House, such as being respectful to staff, she looked at me surprised and said "you're being so nice and helping me, why wouldn't I be respectful?" The youth took a shower, had dinner, and got to relax and watch some television. At the end of my shift, I walked out of the shelter and the youth was standing out front. She gave me a huge smile and wave good-bye, behaviour that was already a drastic difference from the terrified girl I had intaken a few hours earlier. Days like this are the reason I've chosen to do this work, there is no better feeling than that of helping someone in need.

It's 1939, in New York City. Joe Kavalier, a young artist who has also been trained in the art of Houdiniesque escape, has just pulled off his greatest feat: smuggling himself out of Hitler's Prague. He's looking to make big money, fast, so that he can bring his family to freedom. His cousin, Brooklyn's own Sammy Clay, is looking for a partner in creating the heroes, stories, and art for the latest novelty to hit the American dreamscape: the comic book.
Inspired by their own fantasies, fears, and dreams, Kavalier and Clay create the Escapist, the Monitor, and the otherworldly Mistress of the Night, Luna Moth, inspired by the beautiful Rosa Saks, who will become linked by powerful ties to both men. The golden age of comic books has begun, even as the shadow of Hitler falls across Europe.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is a stunning novel of endless comic invention and unforgettable characters, written in the exhilarating prose that has led critics to compare Michael Chabon to Cheever and Nabokov. In Joe Kavalier, Chabon has created a hero for the century.

"Michael Chabon can write like a magical spider, effortlessly spinning out elaborate webs of words that ensnare the reader with their beauty and their style." (Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times)
A part-time buffoon and ersatz scholar specializing in BS, pedantry, schmaltz and cultural coprophagia.
"A World I DON'T Ever Want to Escape From."
Let's just get this out in the open -- Michael Chabon is an amazing prose stylist. Occassionally, I imagine I can grow up one day and become a writer, then I read Chabon and I recognize just how HIGH that hill can be. His dexterity with the English language borders on magical. The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is at once playful and soulful.
Listening to AAoK&C, I was reminded of Saul Bellow's ability to dance with language while also keeping the novel briskly centered on its well-paced story. Chabon's characters are boyantly alive, cinemagraphiclly painted, and infused a with dialogue that seems to require a high level of stereophonics (all enhanced by Colacci's amazing reading).
Even in comic books, good doesn't always win over evil, but it seems like with Chabon love still conquers all. A fantastic novel to view the 20th century through. Chabon expertly captured the colors, smells, and magic of New York. Anyway, Kavalier & Clay is a world I don't ever want to escape from.
I'm a big fan of SF/F/Horror (all the better if they're mashed up together, my dears!), and enjoy other literature as well.

It's been several weeks since I finished listening to Michael Chabon's Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay," and I'm starting to think it's one of the best books I've ever read/heard. I read it when it first came out, and enjoyed it. But when the unabridged recording came out I knew I had to grab it, and give it a listen. I am so glad I did. And it was one of those listening experiences when you realize that a book is even better than you already thought it was.
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay's an incredible story about two Jewish kids prior to the U.S.'s involvement in WW II - one an immigrant, the other an American - who create a comic book hero that's a perfect and pure meditation on escapism: The Escapist! The novel itself is an epic story full of love, loss, friendship, creativity, and most of all: the human need for escapism.
Chabon's prose is spectacular, painting the setting and the characters better than a splash page. David Colacci's reading is no less spectacular, he was able to expertly give voice to all the characters - Sammy, Joe, Rosa, George Deasey, Tracy Bacon, and Thomas - they all sound exactly the way they should.
According to Chabon's story, Escapism is just as necessary for humans as love. It can be thrilling, sexy, healing, comforting, and transformative. It can make us better people.
Toward the end of the story, Sammy stares at another character's art work and says, "It makes me want to make something again. Something I can be just a little bit proud of."
That about sums it all up for me. Listening to this book made me laugh, got me all choked up, and left me wanting to create art for as long as possible.

"Michael Chabon's magnum opus."
If you only read one book by Michael Chabon, this should be it. And, fortunately, David Colacci reads it, with his typical skill and verve. The book might be called over-written. Many of Chabon's books are like that. The story, however, is a remarkable one. Josef Kavalier escapes from Prague to eventually land in New York City during the early 1940s. He is welcomed by his cousin, Sam Klay, and the two young men rise to the very top of the world of comic books. Their hero, the Escapist, is a superman-like hero who is always escaping from Nazi-like traps and then returning to beat the Nazi-like guys to bloody pulps. The story of the personal lives of Kavalier and Klay is told in great detail. The book is extremely carefully researched. The ambience of New York City during this period is lovingly recreated by Chabon. There are a number of remarkable scenes. Kavalier has studied the great Houdini (whose real name was Erich Weiss) and has become an escape artist himself. He is also a magician and a clever entertainer. The book goes on perhaps too long, but if you are truly entertained, then Chabon and Colacci have done yeoman's work. The scenes of Kavalier's stretch in the Navy at a base in Antarctica are particularly memorable and heroic. Chabon's writing style is an acquired taste for many, but this is exactly the sort of thing for those who like this sort of thing.
Gen-Xer, software engineer, and lifelong avid reader. Soft spots for sci-fi, fantasy, and history, but I'll read anything good.
"Favorite Chabon novel so far, despite "meh" ending"
I've read a couple of Michael Chabon's other books and have found him to be a writer I like a lot, but have never been totally enamored with. His prose reminds me of a certain type I sometimes meet at parties in the city: stylish, insightful, full of savoir faire, but trying just a little too hard to impress, and maybe not as original as he wants to be.
Still, if there was ever a novel that plays to an author's descriptive flair and love for homage, it would be the Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. Through mannered but flip character study, Chabon hones in on the energies passing through pre-war New York City, as experienced by two young artists intent on making their mark in the dawning Golden Era of Comic Books, and later, the doldrums of 1950s suburbia and a stagnating industry. One of his protagonists, Joe Kavalier, is a young Jew from Czechoslovakia, trained in the arts of escape (think Harry Houdini), the other, Sammy Klayman, is a young Jew from Brooklyn, with aspirations of being a novelist. One worries about his family back in Europe, the other struggles with his sexuality, alternating between cautious acceptance and the socially-prescribed denial of the era. As with other Chabon novels, there are broad "Jewish" themes of exile, suffering, and redemption, which make an interesting subtext.
To me, the joy of this novel is the inventiveness with which Chabon has his heroes playing out their psyches and backstories on the nine-paneled page, as they struggle with guilt, a sense of identity, love, friendship, and failure. His ability to evoke the imagery of classic comics in prose is impressive, and reminds us of the ineffable power that visuals hold over both creator and devotee, even hampered by the stilted "sock! bam! pow!" conventions of the early days. A less graceful writer might have stamped out an empty nostalgia trip, but Chabon, in celebrating the earnest constructive spirit of young men in a new field of expression, crafts an ecstatic secret history of one rapidly evolving. It's not often that words are worth a thousand pictures.
Well, for the first third of the book, anyway. Once the young duo achieves its meteoric rise and begins settling into comfortable lives of regular paychecks and predictable comforts, the novel begins to sag and its character studies to feel a little superficial and plodding (but impeccably written). Luckily, an engaging interlude involving a little known-theater of World War Two shakes things up for a while at the two-thirds mark (though it's largely superfluous to the main story, and felt like Chabon just needed the writerly equivalent of an excuse to get out of the building and run around for a bit). After that, the story returns to 1950s suburbia, a dull marriage, a McCarthy-esque harassment of comic book writers, and a resolution that I found surprisingly banal. Does Chabon just not know how to end books well? I had a similar problem with the Yiddish Policemen's Union.
Yet, as with that book, I liked the imagination and joyous construction of a place in time on display in the first half of The Amazing Adventures so much, I still think it's worth your consideration. The audiobook might even be an improvement over the print version, with Joe and Sammy's distinct accents brought to life, along with those of several other characters. Probably my favorite of Michael Chabon's novels thus far.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy Reader
"Well Written, But Not My Favorite"
I really had no idea what The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay was about when I started listening. It had been on my "wish list" list for quite awhile and I just randomly decided to grab it. I can't help but think that a three star review seems awfully negative, but, really, I liked the novel; I just didn't love it.
Michael Chabon's work is undeniably well written. The characters are incredibly realistic, as is the setting. If I didn't know any better, I would believe that Chabon grew up in New York City in the 1940s. He must have done an incredible amount of research to pull off the setting so convincingly.
Perhaps because the audiobook was split up into three files, the novel felt to me like it had three acts. The first act was really an introduction to the characters and their business endeavors, the second act was largely a love story, and the third was the war and beyond. I could elaborate, but I'll refrain to avoid spoilers.
I really liked the first act. It was really interesting to see how Sammy and Joe take part in the birth of superhero comics, and The Escapist was frankly awesome. I also largely enjoyed the second act. I found Rosa to be interesting, quirky, and a wonderful compliment to the existing cast of characters.
My biggest issue was the third act. I just didn't enjoy it very much. I understand why Chabon chose for the story to go the way it did, but it started to wear on me and finishing the story became a bit of a slog, especially because the conclusion was both expected and inevitable, but not particularly satisfying.
Overall, I enjoyed the novel, especially the parts about The Escapist, but it wasn't my favorite and I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. I think this one takes more of a patient reader than some of the novels that I tend to like.

"Even Narrator's Need an Editor"
This is a fantastic story, with amazing characters about whom you really care.
The characters.
Can't do accents.
Joe Kavalier.
I've been listening to audiobooks for a few months now and truly love them. They make my commute more than bearable and my "reading" has increased enormously. THAT SAID... do the people who make these books just put the narrators in front of a microphone and leave the room? Does nobody check how the "hard words" or foreign expressions are actually pronounced? Could audible not find a narrator who knew maybe even, would it be so hard to find, a little bit of Yiddish? And could this narrator fellow, this David Colacci, not have done maybe a little bit of research to distinguish the differences among German, Czech and Russian accents? Would that have killed somebody? Would that be so terrible?
Bubbe, when referring to a Jewish grandmother is pronounced Buh-bee. "My [buh-bee] makes great brisket." Bubbie -- sometimes also spelled bubbe -- is a shortened form of bubeleh. It is what your Jewish grandmother might call you when she pinches your cheek. It is hard to parse out phonetically in English, but the "u" is pronounced like the sound following the "c" in the word, could. So, using "oul" to represent that sound, that word is pronounced boul-bee. Funny one word means grandmother, and the other is usually used in reference to a child.
The mixing up of these two terms by the narrator drove me nuts. That nobody in the chain of listeners before this audiobook went public didn't know or didn't care makes me meshuge. The grandmother should have been buh-bee, not boul-bee. If it happened once, ok. But multiple times? Oye! Not good. In short he was referring to the grandmother using a term meant for a child.
The Czech accent is a beautiful one... think of the Hungarian accent of the Gabor sisters; it sounds like that. The narrator of this book decided that all Czechs sound like Russians, something akin to having someone with a French accent sound like they're from the United States.
I could give up scotch, I could give up pizza, I could never give up audiobooks. Life without stories is no life at all.
"Fantastic Story, Passible Narration"
The characters jump off the page and stick in your heart. You connect with them despite the gaps in history and crappy jewish mother accents.
Joe Kavalier. Great character. He is broken and compelling.
Please, Stop, {the} Accents
Plenty, but I don't want spoilers out there for future readers.
If you have the time and have heard about this book for years, it's worth a listen. The narration could be better, but the story makes up for that.

"Superb, Original and BAM!"
This is a wonderful story perfectly read. I would say no more but would fail to meet the Audible review requirements!
There is some real history here---read also The Ten Cent Plague---wrapped around the stories of two cousins. The stories are tragic but not overly depressing. The author somewhat gets us to a happy place by the end---not a perfect story book ending but that would demean some of the serious points this book makes. I love books that build compassion for people.
I have around 1500 audio books in my library. When I finish something really, really good, it can be insanely difficult to start, or rather get into, a new book. If you find yourself in that position, here you go! I had to listen to the first half hour a couple of times and then I was completely hooked.
Highly recommend.

"estes kefauver was just plain wrong"
? how do you find hope and humor in the midst of despair
? how can you remain optimistic in the face of tragedy and grief
michael chabon has written a flowing, literary and magical answer
in the mid-50's senator estes kefauver attacked comic books
his claims of their unamerican nature couldn't have been more wrong
they were paradoxically the most american of all literary forms
they encapsulated all the 20th century american contradictions
old world VERSUS new world
sexual repression VERSUS gender liberation
escape VERSUS settling down
nebbish immigrants VERSUS homegrown super heroes
rural midwestern virtues VERSUS complex urban skills
jews VERSUS gentiles
nation with immigrants VERSUS nation of immigrants
this wonderful tale is wrapped in erudite and elegant prose
more than once i paused the recording to look up a word in the dictionary
but chabon has a relentless affection for human nature and weakness
the story is told with a beautiful affection and insight
the characters are simultaneously so human and so noble
it takes ordinary difficult lives and makes them amazing adventures
"Great Writer with a LOOOONG book..."
Other than being way too long, this was a pretty good book! I really like the ending and felt a great affection for the characters by then. The writing was terrific. Chabon's is great at characterization. His use of imagery is fantastic, as evidenced by this passage about Rosa's letters to Joe after he left her.
"(Joe)... took out the thick sheaf of letters that he had received from Rosa after his enlistment at the end of 1941. The letters had followed him, irregularly but steadily, from basic training at Newport, Rhode Island, to the navy's polar training station at Thule, Greenland, to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he had spent the fall of 1943 as the Kelvinator mission was assembled. After that, as no reply from their addressee was ever forthcoming, there had been no more letters. Her correspondence had been like the pumping of a heart into a severed artery, wild and incessant at first, then slowing with a kind of muscular reluctance to a stream that became a trickle and finally ceased; the heart had stopped."
The history of comic books in America was interesting, and I liked the way he connected a variety of themes to that history. Mostly, these themes centered on the idea of ESCAPE. For example, Chabon showed Sammy and Joe working tirelessly for the Jews' escape from Hitler's bondage in their "The Escapist" comic books, Sammy finding himself and beginning to escape the bonds of America's prejudices toward gays, and Joe escaping from his "survivor guilt" after his immigration to America as well as working for his little brother's escape from Prague, and also Joe's escape from Rosa after what happens to Tommy.
Chabon showed a caustic sense of humor, too. For example when the name of the bedroom assigned to the gay lovers is revealed as "Ramcock." There were lots more examples, and I chuckled out loud quite a few times.
I felt so touched by the close bonds between the main characters at the end and they way they dealt with the way their lives had unfolded. I just wish Chabon had left out the whole episode of Joe enlisting in the Navy and traveling to Antarctica. That was over the top and way too drawn out. Other episodes could have been edited out or cut down as well, and then the book would have made a bigger impact. (You're probably thinking the same thing about this review, if you got this far :)

I'm a color junkie. In fashion, in design, and especially in painting, vibrant color is what gets me creative. But before the image of Mimi from The Drew Carey Show becomes forever attached to my name in your mind, I'll point out that I can control myself…sometimes. It's tough, though, especially now that spring is officially here and I'm starting to see hints of color everywhere.

A Christmas Eve slaying in neighboring Darlington has prompted the arrest of four men already, and authorities say they are still looking for Jason Jones, on charges of murder. Jones is believed to be armed and dangerous, police said. Anyone with knowledge of his whereabouts, or any other information connected with this crime, is asked to call the Darlington Police Department at 843-398-4096.
According to Sgt. Kimberly Nelson, five men stormed in and took over the home of Antwain Jones, 38, in the 100 block of Coker Street in Darlington around 8 p.m. on Christmas Eve, robbed and killed him.
Each man is charged with murder, possession of a weapon during a violent crime, attempted murder and armed robbery. Those in custody for this crime include Jonathan Wesley McCall, 24; Kiarand Myron Bonaparte, 22; and Reginald Danyall Smith, 21, police said.
Michael Rashawn Jackson, 25, was the fourth person arrested, according to police. He was picked up by the Fulton City Police in Atlanta Dec. 30, on unrelated charges. Authorities said Jackson gave several different names when he was arrested, but as soon as his fingerprints were put into the system they learned his real name and that he was wanted for murder in Darlington County.

Signup sheets are passed out as Catholics show support for marriage equality on Sunday, October 28th, 2012 on the sidewalk outside of Saint James Cathedral in Seattle. The group gathered to pray, sing and listen to speakers. The Archdiocese of Seattle, headquartered at the Cathedral, is officially opposed to Referendum 74. The stance has caused a division among some in the church.

Man Camp Concerns | Video
Jessica Roose | 1/17/2013Crew camps are designed to house the thousands of people who have come to North Dakota to work on the oil fields.
"Many of these facilities have been built in areas that lack the infrastructure to handle the increased population," said Bismarck Representative Lawrence Klemin (R).
Which concerns some lawmakers who say having that many people in one area can bring up safety issues if someone needs emergency services. "How are they going to find that person? Because that particular place where that call came from may not be numbered or identified," Klemin said.
Williston Representative Patrick Hatlestad (R) says there are several man camps in his district and in Williams County a ban on new man camps is still being enforced. "They had empty spaces. They had empty beds in the existing camps. So they didn`t see why we should have more disruption of the area."
Other man camp concerns involving building codes and inspections were voiced by the Department of Health. Until more man camps are allowed to be built, agencies regulating the temporary housing facilities will have time to catch up with infrastructure needs.
The resolution discussed today would if passed require that legislative management look into the issue during the interim and implement any recommendations during the 64th legislative session in two years.
