Gold and silver edged down during last week. Will precious metals trade down during this week? Hurricane Sandy is expected to reach the East Coast including Washington, Philadelphia, New York and New Jersey by late Monday or early Tuesday. CME closed its trading in New York. The trading of forex will continue and gold will trade in Asia markets and OTC. In any case, this Hurricane is likely to curb the volatility of gold and silver prices throughout the week. As I have mentioned in the precious metals weekly outlook, the main reports of the week will revolve around non-farm payroll report, U.S manufacturing PMI, BOJ monetary policy statement, and U.S factory orders report. On today's agenda: BOJ Monetary Statement and U.S Personal Spending.
On Friday, Gold edged down by 0.06% to $1,711; Silver also slipped by 0.13% to $32.04. During last week, gold decreased by 0.7%; silver, by 0.2%. Furthermore, on Friday the SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEARCA:GLD) also fell by 0.61% and reached by October 26th 165.93.
As seen below, the chart shows the developments of normalized prices of precious metals during the past couple of weeks (normalized to 100 as of October 10th). During recent weeks, both gold and silver continued their downward trend.
(click to enlarge)
On Today's Agenda
U.S Personal Spending: this monthly report will present the changes in income and outlays in the U.S as of September; in the previous report regarding August the personal income edged up by 0.1%; disposable personal income also increased by the same rate;
BOJ Monetary Statement: BOJ will announce its rate decision and monetary policy update later in the day. The current expectations are that Bank of Japan will expand its stimulus package. In such a case, this could adversely affect the yen. This decision, in turn, could also affect other currencies pairs and commodities prices.
Currencies / Bullion Market - October Update
The Euro/ USD edged up on Friday by 0.03% to 1.2939. During last week, the Euro/USD declined by 0.65%. Conversely, some currencies such as Aussie dollar appreciated during last week against the USD by 0.41%. The correlation between gold and Euro remains mid-strong and positive: during the past several weeks, the linear correlation between gold and EURO/USD reached 0.54 (daily percent changes); the linear correlation between the gold and AUD/USD was 0.43 (daily percent changes). Last week's mixed trend in forex markets, in which the Euro depreciated while the Aussie dollar appreciated (against the USD), may have contributed to low volatility in bullion prices. Nonetheless, if the Euro and other risk currencies will decrease against the USD, they are likely to drag down gold and silver.
Daily Outlook
The prices of precious metals edged down during last week, and may continue this downward trajectory during this week especially if the non-farm payroll report will be positive and present an increase in jobs of more than 110k. If Bank of Japan will announce of another expansion to its stimulus package it could affect not only the yen but also bullion rates. The shutdown of trading floor in New York due to the Hurricane is likely to keep the volatility in forex and commodities markets low during the week. Finally, if the Euro and other "risk currencies" will continue to fall against the USD, then they are likely to drag down precious metals.

I Am Citizen Lyrics - Against Me!
Review The Song (1)
Christ we were dying in the streets running one last anthem through your heart. Swearing life on liberty I'll take a dream an ideal die sound in a lonely death. Pass this compromise on...... My regrets to Columbus (GA) and nothing more when Reagan became the final word. Just one month later they shot Lennon dead, will anybody cry for me? All nations claim until they day that I die, I am citizen. We'll let music rule our life, celebrate shortcomings. If it's not angry young and beautiful, I don't want any part of it. Who do you have to cheat to get what you want, who do you lie to, to get what you need? You deserve everything you got coming to you...
(* just because you can't play an instrument doesn't mean you shouldn't.)

The beautiful theme to my young angry life... | Reviewer: Kyle K. | 7/18/2008
This was the song that when I heard solidified AgainstMe! (more or less Tom Gabel) as one the greatest songwriters and philosphers in recent memory. His anger and passion in this song shine through and make this song one of the songs that I live my life by (so much so that I have "I AM CITIZEN" tattooed on my body) Fucking awesome! If you can get your hands on one of their original EP's then I highly suggest if not for this song then for Walking Is Still Honest. It's well worth the nearly $100 you'll pay for it!

The Cagiva River is one of the great oddballs of Italian motorcycling of the last decade. Forget traditional performance, passion and style, the city commuter River is the opposite: workmanlike, pedestrian and dull. Honest and different, though.
The Cagiva River's air-cooled single pushes out meagre 32bhp so don't expect any thrills. It's fine for plodding through gridlocked town centres and putting to work, though, but it's also fairly crude and rough around the edges. Honda does this sort of thing far better…
The Cagiva River's handling is steady, neutral and unremarkable. Brakes, suspension, chassis and tyres are all budget and basic, but nor is much asked of them. Despite touring overtones (screen, panniers) this is no motorway tourer, though…
Here lies a momentary flicker of interest in the Cagiva River. Basic cycle parts are run of the mill but standard fitment of panniers and screen was unusual for a lightweight motorcycle in pre-Honda Deauville 1995. Just the thing for traffic wardens and the like…
The Cagiva River has reasonable build quality and understressed components should add up to reliability but the River still isn't in the Honda league and dealer and spares availability are much thinner on the ground.
The Cagiva River was reasonable value when new, but, due to fairly savage depreciation (due to the reasons above) better used. Just be sure of what you want, what you're getting and go in with your eyes wide open. Find a Cagiva River for sale.

I doubt MCN have actually even bothered to test ride this bike. They seem to have neglected to mention the USD Marzocchi forks and the brembo brakes. Okay the power is lacking somewhat but the Torque of the engine (44nm) makes up for this especially as the weight is so little and low down due to having a tank made out of what seems to be a strong plastic of some kind. You can even get the front wheel up off the throttle with a bit of vigarous acceleration in 1st. After riding it for about 18 months (with numerous trips from Northants to Newcastle and back) I could have lots of fun on this bike. Tail out just using the torque out of the twistier bends.
The main thing that makes this a great bike is the fact that it has a 24.8kw power output making it 0.2kw inside the power limit for anyone on a restricted license.

Obesity is the most common health problem facing children, child health experts say. Twenty-two percent of children and teens are overweight, and over 15 percent are obese.
Children whose parents are overweight or obese are at higher risk for becoming obese themselves, studies have shown. A study in the Journal of Pediatrics, for instance, found five independent risk factors for childhood overweight. The main risk factor was parental weight.
Nearly 80 percent of obese 10- to 14-year-olds with an obese parent will be obese as adults. Currently, 34 percent of adults have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or more, classifying them as obese.
By adolescence, a child's obesity, rather than the parents' obesity, is the most important predictor of being an obese adult. Nearly 65 percent of obese adolescents will still be obese as adults, even if neither parent is obese.
Genes play a role in the increased risk for obesity, but lifestyle factors also have influence. Poor eating habits are often established during childhood, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). More than 60 percent of young people eat too much fat, and less than 20 percent eat the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day.
The activity level of children and teens has dropped. They spend much of their leisure time watching television, playing video games, or using a computer, and, as a result, their weight has increased.
For children who are predisposed to gain weight, prevention is critical, says the CDC. Obesity increases the risk for other health problems, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, breast cancer, colon cancer, gallbladder disease, and arthritis.
Obesity can be prevented or managed with a combination of proper diet and adequate exercise.

Ayrton Senna was the best.
I've watched racing since the early '70s. Mario Andretti is my all time favorite racer, but Senna was the best I have ever seen. His drives in the wet, his ability to nail "perfect" laps during qualifing, his abiltiy to go faster when others slowed down was the mark of sheer genius. As a race fan, his death did rob us of a true talent and what would have been one of the most intriguing rivalries. Senna the old master agaisnt Schumacher the young gun.
Never watched another F1 race after his death. He was truly a wonder to watch.
Finally got to see this movie over the weekend in Baltimore where it was playing. I knew a lot about Ayrton Senna as a race car driver and how passionate he was. I felt this movie was an amazing representation of that. Truely an amazing man and and an amazing movie. One of the best movies I have ever seen!!!
I've certainly acquired something entirely new from appropriate correct right here.
I found this write-up with a study on the web Top 10 Credit Repair Services

My crew and I had a good laugh about it when it was first posted (more at how bad the joke was than it actually being funny), but unfortunately some of my fans thought it was real.
I want to make sure my fans understand that this piece is in fact a parody. And I'm stressing the word parody here: any humorous, satirical, or burlesque imitation, as of a person, event.
Wundeground.ie. said it best in their response to the cease & desist letter from David Guetta's laywers: "Wunderground is a satirical dance music website that never deals in actual factual statements or events, but instead pokes fun at the dance music community through the medium of comedy."
So to set the record straight for my fans.
· I never said any of this and these quotes are completely untrue. Dance music is my love, is my passion, is my life. I live for my fans and I take my art very seriously.
· I'd hate for any up-and-coming artists to see this post, take it to heart and believe it has any shred of truth or legitimacy. Dance music is a serious art form and we've been working very hard as an international community to push our voice and message to the masses.
· This story does the opposite and in no way should my fans believe it to be true at all. I love you all very much and you're the reason why I do this for a living. You're the reason why I push myself to become a better artist and performer and continue to take my show to a higher level.
So Wunderground, nice try, but you're no Onion. Take a note from the masters and step up your game: http://popwatch.ew.com/2013/08/29/the-onion-greatest-headlines/.

Indiana Law students can build their own plan of study by taking classes from a number of different areas, or they can choose an area of focus.
Description The law of intellectual property (patent, trademark, and copyright) has increasingly assumed an international dimension. In today#s world of intellectual property law, one must understand how the rights of inventors, brand name owners, and creative artists, and software developers are protected in international and comparative law. Mirroring this reality, this course has two basic objectives. One is to equip students with the methodology necessary to engage in international intellectual property practice in both public and private international law. It will consider topics such as territoriality, national treatment, choice of law, multilateral treaties, and regional agreements that the frame the substantive rules and practice of intellectual property law in a transnational setting. As a second objective, this course will consider intellectual property from a comparative law dimension. In this regard, it will focus on the basic differences in the approach to patent, trademark, and copyright law in national and regional systems. Within this theme, this course will examine the cultural and economic differences that have led to divisions between developed and developing countries on the protection of intellectual property.

The general purpose kit zooms are always worth having.
The 18-55
Or the 16-50
Its a job to say what would be a good lens, so I`m assuming its wanted for just general purpose.
What kind of lens do you want, what is it needed for.
Buy into Sony and your choices become limited.
You might find the 10-18mm f4 useful though its not cheap, you could always add a cheap and cheerful prime or two, the two cheap Sigma`s are quite good and there both nice and cheap, I use there 19mm.
When funds permit, I would like a NEX 7, but partner it with the 24mm f1.8 Zeiss Sonnar. I once had a Contax RTS and my 'standard' lens for that was the 35mm f1.4 Zeiss Distagon, which I found to be a wonderful combination. The 24mm would be an equivalent on the NEX. Zooms are useful, but they have limitations in maximum aperture and image quality. If I could only have one lens, it would be the Zeiss and I would use my feet as the zoom control.
Quote: Do I need an adapter to fit other brand lenses.
Sony do an adaptor in order that you can use their " A " mount lenses.
Which I assume also opens up the the range from companies like Sigma, who do " A " mounts, I have their 105 macro lens that fits on the A900 very nicely indeed
If your happy zooming with your feet, Sigma 19mm f2.8 and 30 F2.8 are cheap and the optical quality is rather top notch......

I had poured through a "billion" special needs kids faces, all of them drawing an "ooohh" or an "awwww"….but then I saw his face….and I gasped. (It seems that whenever I gasp I know God is up to something big.) Really.
I remember staring at him and studying the expression on his sweet little face, trying to see into his eyes….and realizing that they were pleading with me, all the way from across the ocean….whispering……"Could you overlook my handicaps and just love me?" I started to sob. He no longer was just one of a million faces, he was begging me. I know he was. He needed me. And I needed him just as much!
That was June 2006. I was 47 years old. My husband was 51. We had six children (3 adopted – one of whom is also special needs). This little guy had Arthrogryposis. We didn't know anyone who had Arthrogryposis. We had never even heard of it! Yet, when we looked at his picture all we knew was that his only true special need was he needed a mommy and daddy and lots of brothers and sisters.
We overnighted the paperwork and so began the journey to bring our Isaiah Samuel home. We had no clue, but due to some serious complications, it would take 14 looooong months (Aug. 07) to finally have Isaiah safely in our arms. (Isaiah's story is told here.)
Now having Isaiah home, we understand, first hand, a lot more about Arthrogryposis. And to us, Isaiah is a true-life hero. He maneuvers about, compensating for his handicap but never once complaining.
Remarkably, since bringing Isaiah home I have become close friends with another mom who also adopted a son (the same age as Isaiah) with Arthrogryposis. This mom and I were commenting the other day, "Isn't it funny? We personally know so many families who birthed healthy kids, yet these "healthy" kids are the whiniest, most complaining kids, seldom happy, often miserable and even downright ornery? But here are our sons, struggling with their hands and legs to just hold simple items or tediously trying to walk and they are constantly smiling, giggling, never complaining? What is up with that?"
Could it be that the struggles are making better people out of our little ones? Could it be that Arthrogryposis is making all of our family more tender? More compassionate to the needs of those around us? More aware of the struggles that others have? I'd like to think so. Our kids, even those younger than Isaiah, are constantly watching out for their precious brother. His siblings all love him to pieces. He is the kid with the ready smile. He is a total snugglebug too!! We could not bear to think of life without our Isaiah. He is a precious treasure, his worth far greater than all the gems in the world! We wouldn't trade him for any birth son or son we could have without Arthrogryposis!!!
Since Isaiah came home we have brought two toddlers (Elijah and Elizabeth) home from Uganda (December 08). One was known to have a very serious special need, although there is no sign of it since coming home.
We are currently waiting for our Travel Assignment for another little one with Special Needs. We have named her Jubilee Promise. She has cleft lip/cleft palate, deformed ears, Estropia and a few other very complicated things. But, again, the only real need we see is that she needs a forever family. She has waited far too long for us and we cannot wait to have her in our arms.
In a couple of weeks I will turn 51 (ugh) and my hubby is 54. Our peers are empty-nesters yet we are loving having a home filled with (at the moment) a 2, 3, 5, 10, 14, and 16 year old and soon Jubilee who is almost 8. Our cup overflows with joy! Our hearts thank Almighty God for giving us the privilege of having a boatload of kids who not only needed us – but we desperately needed them!
Do you think you're too old? (Join our "Should Be Empty-Nesters But Would Rather Bring Home Kids Who Need Forever Families Club") Does Special Needs sound scary? (Ask those who have been there/done that!)
My husband, Dw, and I are convinced that life just couldn't get any sweeter with our sweet little bunch – we think it's so sweet we're going to keep doing it until someone says, "You're too old, go home!"

This week's NY1 Scholar Athlete of the Week stays active year-round, with a packed schedule of sports and other extracurricular activities. NY1's Anthony Pascale filed the following report.
There is no such thing as a quiet day for Marcella Smotkin. The Leon M. Goldstein High School senior spends her mornings impressing teachers in her advanced placement classes.
"She just has a great study skills and generally is just a lovely young lady with a lovely personality," says humanities teacher Colleen Adrion.
Her afternoons stay active with martial arts, ballroom dancing, and tennis practices. Smotkin says athletics have been a part of her life for as long as she can remember.
"I started when I was really young, I was about five. My parents were always taking me to lessons and I started liking it," says Marcella.
Her tennis coach says Smotkin's lifelong dedication to sports has paid off. She credits Smotkin with helping lead the team to the PSAL Championship in 2011.
"She has such drive and she can pull through at any time, when times get tough," says girls tennis coach Joanna Soares.
Smotkin is also involved in a number of after school clubs, even starting a book club herself last year.
"A couple of friends and I, we were just talking, we were like, we're missing -- there's no clubs just to read a book and just analyze it. And we had a couple of tests coming up that we needed to read books for, so we thought, why not just start a club?" says Marcella.
This spirit also led Smotkin to create a Russian language club at the JASA Senior Center, where she has volunteered for the past four years.
Smotkin says her parents' support has always been her motivation.
"They're always there supporting me, telling me, you don't have to do everything but if you do, you'll satisfy yourself, you'll feel accomplished, and it will make you feel better," Marcella says.
She hopes to stay close to home for college and plans to study dentistry.
"It's just, it's our body and it interests me," she says.
So, for always taking an extra step to pursue her interests, Marcella Smotkin is the latest NY1 Scholar Athlete of the Week.
The NY1/Time Warner Cable Business Class Scholar Athlete program celebrates student athletes who successfully combine academics with athletics, and also find time for community service. The program, operated in conjunction with the New York City Department of Education, is open to any senior attending a New York City public high school.
Each week of the school year, a selected student is profiled on NY1 and receives a partial scholarship to the school they choose to attend in the fall.
To apply, download and print out the official Scholar Athlete application, then mail it to the address on the form.

As you know I have been doing a ton of photography this year. I even have a new Canon Rebel T3i being shipped to me this week…I am soooo excited! Anyway, I have been doing more in Photoshop lately trying to spruce up some pictures. I know a good bit about photoshop since I have been using it since I was in high school, but I stumbled upon some sites lately where I learned about photoshop actions. Um, where have these been all my life?!?
The most awesome site I have found for actions so far is The CoffeeShop Blog. Rita is a whiz with photoshop and she offers all of her actions for FREE. Anyway, the first one I decided to play around with was Vintage Golden. It was pretty easy. If you don't know how to use actions, she provides an explanation on how to install them and you can google it too. I so don't know enough about using them to walk you through it just yet.
Anyway, I started with this picture of my doxie Cooper that I took this afternoon. It was ok…a little blah.
But then I ran Coopie through the Vintage Golden action. Here's vintage Coopie:
He's so cute!!! And I love how this picture came out! So I put a few more pictures through the action.
Here's a vintage Egret:
A vintage flower bush (I actually changed the color balance a bit to make the green stand out a little more):
A vintage Marina in Kemah, TX:
And finally a vintage Pod of Pelicans in Nassau Bay (my day #44 picture for my Project 365).
I can't wait to try some more of Rita's awesome actions! You can get her Vintage Golden action HERE for FREE.
Until later, happy photoshopping!

LA Store: Baoku Inc: Chinese Antiques
- Location: Culver City, CA
- Website: baoku.us
Just down the block from Berbere Imports is another warehouse, this time full of Chinese Antiques. Though not quite as big as its neighbor, Baoku Inc is piled high with furnishings from China and all over Asia. We're curious if anyone has bought from them since we noticed that nothing had a price tag. We figure it comes down to negotiating...
They carry an incredible selection of antique chairs, dressers, vases, foo dogs and prints. Everything was in good shape and there were a couple of absolutely stellar pieces. The woman was very helpful and we definitely got the feeling that depending on how much we wanted to buy the prices would change. They have a pretty extensive inventory on their website as well if you want to check it out. Of course, no prices here either! Anyone else have experience here?
4 Comments
OK. I just have to say that I am insanely jealous of this and other cool Asian antiques/ import stores you have in LA. I know of nothing even remotely similar here in the Boston area.
looks a lot like clipper trading in savannah, GA... i used to work there and the owners are super nice people! nice mix of products as well!
COOL! How're the prices?
The website says they do wholesale and retail, so prices probably vary. But if you were there, why didn't you ask? I doubt that they're interested in haggling, like at the swap meet.

Last week I covered my favourite books released in 2009. And I don't know how it works for most critics, but those books—great as they may be—are hardly representative of my reading year. I won't lie to you, dear reader: there are tons, and tons, and tons of great, essential books that I've never read. Tons of authors, even. So whenever I'm not reading for review, I'm frantically trying to make up for some of that lost ground and time.
You never get there, sure, but it's important to keep the delusion alive.
So here's a list of everything I read over the past 12 months. Call it full disclosure on my part. Hopefully it'll give you some insight into where my tastes and expertise lie, or at least the kind of headspace I've been in lately. You're more than welcome to call me on my blind spots; I recognize that they are embarrassing, and they are legion.
And unless otherwise specified, I read everything listed here for the first time.
Grant Buday, Dragonflies (2008)
Chris Bachelder, U.S.! (2006): I've had my eye on this since its premise first made me genuinely laugh out loud—it's the story of muckraker Upton Sinclair's continuous resurrections, assassinations, and various antics therein. Bought off Amazon, fall 2008.
Ben Karlin [ed.], Things I've Learned from Women Who've Dumped Me (2008): Way, way uneven, especially given the all-star lineup. Bought with a Chapters gift card, the same month I read it. (As you'll see, this is a rarity for me.)
Kevin Chong, Baroque-A-Nova (2001): The debut novel of a friend of a friend. Bought from the Book Outlet remainder store below the SEE offices, late 2008. The store has since gone out of business—apparently they owed nearly $40,000 in unpaid rent.
George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London (1933): For the book club I belong to. Bought used off Amazon.
Nicholson Baker, U and I (1991): When John Updike died this past January, I went straight to Alhambra Books in Old Strathcona and picked up used copies of this quirky tribute and Updike's own Pigeon Feathers. This one began life as a review copy, complete with arcanely personalized addressee stickers. If you're reading this, Lynn Van Luven, thanks!
Chris Cleave, Little Bee (2009)
Junot Diaz, The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007): Another book club pick. Bought new from, I think, Greenwoods'.
Hugh Johnston, Radical Campus: Making Simon Fraser University (2005): The inside scoop on my alma mater. Stolen plaques, scheming bureaucrats, and one much-ballyhooed story of actual radical-ness. Bought via a friend from the SFU Bookstore in late 2008.
[nothing finished—see first item in May]
David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest (1996): Oh, so this is what genius looks like. One thousand pages of pure genius, strewn wildly in every direction. I read this in six beautiful weeks, and I look forward to doing so again soon. Bought off Amazon immediately following Wallace's suicide in September 2008. (Note: The day I bought it, the book had jumped to number 51 on the bestsellers list. 51!)
Wells Tower, Everything Ravaged, Everything Burned (2009)
Joan Didion, The White Album (1979): It took me nearly a year, off and on, to finish this. That's not a shot at the writing—it really is excellent. My first Didion book, and not the last. Bought from Book Outlet in mid-2008.
Nicholson Baker, The Mezzanine (1988): U and I was so much fun that I sought out Baker's debut novel with the remainder of a Chapters gift card a few weeks later. It didn't disappoint.
Santiago Roncagliolo, Red April (2009)
Donna Tartt, The Secret History (1992): For the past little while I've been trying to catch up on as many campus novels as I can, as research for an ongoing project. (If you have any recommendations, please let me know in the comments below.) This is probably as serious an entry as they come. Pulpy, but totally satisfying. Bought from Old Strathcona Books sometime in 2008.
Aleksandar Hemon, Love and Obstacles (2009)
Clancy Martin, How to Sell (2009)
Graham Greene, The Captain and the Enemy (1988): One of Greene's last novels, a slim treatise about fantasy and war. A Christmas present from a few years back.
Percival Everett, I am Not Sidney Poitier (2009)
Nathan Rabin, The Big Rewind (2009)
Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire (1962): This is a Chinese finger-trap novel—there's no way to come out of it looking smart. Every little mystery or riddle that you feel so clever for solving along the way turns out to have been Vladdy N.'s plan all along. A novel that begs for hours of e-research as soon as you finish. Bought from Albion Books in Vancouver in 2006, for an abandoned directed studies on postmodern lit.
Thomas Pynchon, Slow Learner: Early Stories (1984): I couldn't get into the Libyan desert story, but the others were fairly entertaining. And the introduction is superb—that's the only part of it I'd read until now. Bought from Canterbury Tales in Vancouver in, maybe, 2006?
Jonathan Lethem, As She Climbed Across the Table (1997): Until this point, I had no idea Lethem had such strong sci-fi roots. Whoops. This one doesn't get talked about much, but it's dynamite. Bought from Value Village, and read in a fever over the next three days.
Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger (2008): Book club. It won the Booker Prize last year, and reminded me that I ought to pay at least some of these winners a little more attention. Bought from Wee Book Inn on Whyte.
Thomas Pynchon, Inherent Vice (2009)
David Foster Wallace, Consider the Lobster (2005): It was about here that I began to realize the depths of Wallace's virtuosity, and how deeply I'll regret never being able to follow his work when he was still out there, creating new stuff. He sounds nearly every note on the Piano of Truth. Bought new off Amazon earlier in the month.
Douglas Coupland, Generation A (2009)
Billeh Nickerson, McPoems (2009)
Tom Wolfe, The Painted Word (1975): My first Wolfe book, and a lot of fun. I keep meaning to run his ideas about visual art up against an actual practitioner, because he seems to land at least a few clean hits. Bought from the Vancouver Public Library's annual book sale back in 2006.
Lorrie Moore, Birds of America (1998): My pick for the book club. These stories are linked by the spectre of absent parents, and some were so pummelling I had to take a break midway through. (The Wolfe book above was a much-needed two-day distraction.) Bought off Amazon—along with Consider the Lobster and a Franklin treasury for my daughter—in August.
Chester Brown, Louis Riel (2003): The drawings in this graphic novel are truly stunning, but Brown has a real show-don't-tell problem. Borrowed from my former downstairs neighbour, summer 2009.
Nick Hornby, Juliet, Naked (2009)
Philip Hoare, Leviathan; Or, The Whale (2008): A must for fans of Moby-Dick, whales, or life in general. This is the British edition, which I got for Christmas in 2008, but it's finally going to be published here in February as The Whale. Don't pass it up.
Lorrie Moore, A Gate at the Stairs (2009)
John Ortved, The Simpsons: An Uncensored, Unauthorized History (2009)
Tao Lin, Shoplifting from American Apparel (2009)
Orhan Pamuk, The Museum of Innocence (2009)
Charles Demers, The Prescription Errors (2009)
John Hersey, Hiroshima (1985): Book club. I challenge anyone to read this and not have the gloves-of-skin-sliding-off-hands image haunt your dreams.
Nicholson Baker, The Anthologist (2009)
Tao Lin, Shoplifting from American Apparel (again)
Chris Bachelder, Bear v. Shark: The Novel (2001): Bachelder's first novel. Less emotionally resonant than the third act of U.S.!, but every bit as clever. Bought on special order from Greenwoods' in summer 2009.
Jonathan Lethem, Chronic City (2009)
Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals (2009)
Zadie Smith, Changing My Mind: Occasional Essays (2009)
David Foster Wallace, Oblivion (2004): I'd read the story "Philosophy and the Mirror of Nature" twice before, in different places. Wyatt Mason is right about this book; James Wood is wrong. (That Wallace leaves the keys to his stories "on high shelves" is such a great way to put it.) Bought in hardcover from the Chapters remainder bin, also not long after his suicide. An ultra-bargain for $5.
F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Diamond as Big as the Ritz (1922): Every time I make an Amazon order, I tack on whichever of the beautiful Penguin 70s is currently in stock. This set of stories, released in 2005 to commemorate Penguin's 70th anniversary, is uniformly beautiful, and I haven't been disappointed by any of the entries yet. Bought November 2008.

Simple: to read more women writers. Get the ratio up to at least 30:70. There really is no excuse for this.
Oh, and hopefully to crack Rabelais's Gargantua and Pantagruel. Revisit some old Russians. More Melville. After DFW and Infinite Jest, anything seems possible.Dec 30, 2009

HARTFORD, N.Y. – The Hartford School District is trying to find out who spray painted derogatory comments about a district bus driver on school property.
Wrapped around all four sides of the Hartford Bus Depot are derogatory comments about a male bus driver. The words include "molester" and "pig." They were spray painted in big, bold red letters.
"It's unfortunate because it identifies a specific employee and accuses them of something there's no evidence for at this time," Superintendent Andrew Cook said.
Cook believes the words were spray painted some time between the evening of March 19 and the morning of March 20. They're words that stood out to parent Mike Mulhall whose children used to ride the bus with the driver named on the wall.
"I worry about my children because of this day and age," he said. "Someone should look into the allegations whether this is true or not."
Cook said the district's number on priority is the safety of its students.
"Any accusation at all we take seriously, and we'll investigate to make sure nothing is there," he said.
The school is working with the sheriff's office to find out who made the markings. The district said the bus driver is still driving buses, but now the superintendent is worried about the cleanup.
"It's unfortunate we have to take tax payer money and possibly take some program cuts and then look to fix the bus garage from something that we didn't do," Cook said.
Cook said the cleanup may cost anywhere from $4,000 to $17,000 to erase all the writings, pressure wash and repaint.
"It's shameful someone went to that extent to do that much damage because it is hurtful," Mulhall said.
Anyone with information regarding this incident should contact the Washington County Sheriff's office at 518-747-4623.

My son attended Greengate School for two years and gained the knowledge and skills he needed to manage his dyslexia and become a confident and happy learner. I am forever grateful to this wonderful school.
Greengate has been a lifesaver for our son. He entered in the 6th grade. By then the school system had really done a number on him because of his dyslexia. The teachers not only helped him overcome many aspects of the dyslexia but loved and nurtured him back from some terrible previous school experiences. Marcia Ramsey is top notch and will be an advocate long after you leave her school. Their expertise and compassion helped my son continue on to a college prep school where he is thriving and successful.
Excellent environment, great student-teacher ratio, high student expectations with lots of support for the dyslexic child. The director, Marcia Ramsey, is fantastic. Our daughter has made huge strides at Greengate in math and spelling and her self confidence.
My daughter attended Greengate for 2 years. While at Greengate she made a tremendous leap in her self confidence and in her math and reading skills. She went on from there and attended a classical school for 2 1/2 years maintianing an A/B grade point average. She is a sophomore in high school and just took the PLAN (test prior to ACT) and her highest score was in reading! I am so thankful to Greengate. I do not know what we would have done without them! My daughter wants to go to college and become a teacher for dyslexic students.
My son attended Greengate for 2 years. Due to the severity of his dyslexia, I think he would not be able to read now if not for Greengate. He is now functioning well in a large public high school. I am committed to this school now and I tutor and volunteer there.
I volunteer at this school. It's a great local resource that endeavors to go beyond educating dyslexic children to be a resource for the community, growing awareness for dyslexia while training teachers and parents.

What is conveyancing?

have overall responsibility for your matter and will be assisted by
a team of individuals to ensure that you receive a high level of service
at all times.
What will it cost?
The cost will vary depending on various
issues including the complexity of the matter, whether the property
is freehold or leasehold and value. If you would like a no obligation
breakdown of costs please go to our Fees section of this web site.
Are the costs likely to increase?
Generally no. Sometimes, if a matter
becomes very protracted or complex, then we may need to charge additional
fees. In the unlikely event of this becoming necessary we will advise
you of this during the transaction.
Do I have to pay anything up front?
Yes we require payments on account

be made by direct bank transfer to our client account. We would remind
clients that when buying with a mortgage any borrowed money such as
from a credit card, which is going towards the purchase of a property,
would need to be declared to the mortgage company.
How do I instruct you?
You can instruct us by telephone, or
you can call us to arrange a consultation.
How long will it take?
For most freehold transactions approximately
6-8 weeks. Leasehold matter can take longer as there are third parties
involved. The timing will also depend on the length of the chain and
individual requirements.
Should I arrange a survey?
We always advise clients to arrange
surveys which can be done through the mortgage company or by using an
independent surveyor.
Will I need to arrange insurance?
Unless the property is leasehold yes
you will need to arrange buildings insurance from exchange of contracts.
This can be arranged through your mortgage company or independently.
You will also need to arrange suitable contents insurance from completion.
How much deposit do I have to pay?
Usually 10% on exchange of contracts.
A seller will sometimes accept less than this but if a buyer defaults
and fails to complete then the full 10% deposit will be due to the seller.
When will I need my deposit?
We need to be holding this in order to exchange contracts. We will contact you prior to this to make the arrangements.
Where will I get the keys on completion?
You will pick these up from the selling
estate agent.
If I am due money back on completion how will I receive this?
We can arrange a direct bank transfer so that any money due to you on completion arrives in your account on the same day (time permitting).

How to Cook the Perfect Burger
The New York Times
Yes, we have talked about this before. We've written about making perfectly juicy burgers and how to build one (complete with diagram). But this weekend being a burger-noshing holiday, we thought more tips couldn't hurt. The Times interviewed 30 chefs to find out what makes a good burger, and they've got some advice...
There are tips about grinding your own meat—or at least buying meat with enough fat in it (most chefs said 30 percent fat is good). Chef Michael David, whose Comme Ça burger recipe is included, sears his burgers to get a good crust, then finishes them in an oven so that they're evenly pink on the inside. There's a tip about using a toaster oven for this step.
There are also recipes for fixin's: Tarragon Cucumber Pickles and Tomato-Onion Compote.
• Read the article: The Perfect Burger and All Its Parts, from The New York Times
We know many of you will be grilling burgers this weekend. What are your tried-and-true techniques? Anything new you'll be experimenting with?

A burger with a fried egg on top. I know it's not the healthiest burger in the world, but it is so good!!
For Frying Pan Burgers: Retain moisture by adding oats and breadcrumbs seasoning of choice (is this burger blasphemy? Sorry.)
My own bit of burger advice concerns the buns. In my family, the buns MUST be buttered (yes butter), and must be toasted and served hot. I use a very heavy vintage Guardian Ware griddle, which I heat for a long time over medium-low heat.
Do not toast the bun halves side by side, but back to back and put the bottom of the bun down first. This heats up the moisture in the buns and softens the thicker top half of the bun. When the bottom is toasted, flip the buns over and now the top bun will lie flat against the griddle and toast flat instead cupping.
Texans generally consider ketchup on a hamburger anathema---the advent of chain ketchupy-hamburger restaurants being a Northern concept. The most famous hamburger restaurant in Texas, What-A-Burger, will of course put ketchup on a burger, but you have to ask for it.
my favorite lately has been to eat my burgers topped with a simple jam made with onions and balsamic vinegar. OMG, so good! Until I fell in love with this jam, I wouldn't even consider a cheeseless burger.
I blogged about the jam recipe here:
A little roquefort or stilton in the center of the burger is wonderful too.
We had home made burgers for dinner on Tuesday and we're having them again tonight (Thursday). It's just what happens when you've got all the ingredients and they don't really last more than a few days. Also, our buns come in packs of 6! Yes! 6!
On Tuesday we had pork patties. I like to put plenty of spices and herbs in them and we added pineapple, chedder cheese, egg, salad, pickles, tomato sauce, mustard and mayo.
Tonight it will be almost the same but with homemade beef patties instead and no egg.
We normally have onion, but we are out of onion today.

"Change the Environment and not the Person" – this was the message to the governement of persons with disabilities.. The problem of disability is very acute in Georgia.

They say that persons with disabilities cannot enjoy the same opportunities for education and employment as people with no health related problems. People with disabilities cannot even use public transport because the facilities are not adapted to their needs.
