"This wasn't all true, but it was true enough. Maybe. Hop couldn't untangle his motives. There was something about covering his own tracks — tracks he thought he'd long ago covered. And sure, there was something else."
Abbott puts her protagonist in a nice situation here: simultaneously covering up a bad thing that's happened (or, rather, protecting the cover-up he's already done) while trying to find out what actually led to said bad thing that happened. It's a neat double-bind. And the language she uses is nice, too, and fitting for that protagonist as a Hollywood flack; it's a lighter, flashier version of Mickey Spillane hard-boiled, all sparkle and no weight behind it.
"We should all be windups by now. It's easier to build a person impervious to blister rust than to protect an earlier version of the human creature. A generation from now, we could be well-suited for our new environment. Your children could be beneficiaries. Yet you people refuse to adapt. You cling to some idea of a humanity that evolved in concert with your environment over millennia, and which you now, perversely, refuse to remain in lockstep with… . Our environment has changed. If we wish to remain at the top of our food chain, we will evolve."
One of the points where arguments converge, and also incidentally something like a classic villain's speech, even though it's not delivered by the worst character, nor is it delivered to the best. But it gets at the problem Bacigalupi's playing with, a version of the role of technology in preserving or opposing nature, and by situating it within this minor confrontation the book's perspective remains equivocal, uncertain. The Windup Girl is much more interested in underlining and extrapolating the errors of the past — our present — than it is in solving its own world's problems.
"'I've had many different lives. I was a boy, and a muay thai champion, and a father, and a white shirt.' He glances down at the folds of his novice's clothes. 'A monk, even.'"
While I'm in no position to comment on Bacigalupi's understanding of Thai Buddhism (and will in fact fall behind Niall Harrison's larger argument about "authenticity" in this book, in Strange Horizons, where he says "To the extent that the term has meaning when applied to a future Thailand, it is not something I can assess here. What I can say is that the depiction feels coherent, in the sense of being particular and detailed enough to be a convincing lie, in the manner of all good fiction; and that it does not seem to condescend, either to its characters or to its readers, by flattening or glossing its material.") this bit, from the condemned white knight, where he compares his own progression through life to that of his karmic fate, is very nice and just a little ironically bittersweet.
"When the door opens, they kneel in a wave, all of them performing khrabs of abasement, triple bows to the patron who keeps them housed, the one man in Krung Thep who willingly shoulders the burden of them, who provides a measure of safety from the red machetes of the Malays and the black batons of the white shirts."
In contrast to Kraken, this is full-on speculative fiction, an extrapolation of environmental and large-scale social collapse, and there are a lot of moving parts to the background. It's actually very elegant that Bacigalupi orders them by color: the Green Headbands of Malay Islamists, the white shirts of the Thai government officials, the yellow-card ethnic Chinese refugees. He shifts the colors here — the black batons of the white shirts — fittingly for the impurity of each group's moral status; in much the same way, he weaves through a small allegory of environmental niche and habitat in the way he frames each main characters' insecurities.
"When I was afraid the story was moving too slowly, I moved the narrative back into the heart of the port town. I filled its streets and harbor as best I could with a sense of mystery and danger not unlike the type that could be found in old black-and-white movies with raincoat-clad men in foreign settings, or even in more contemporary accounts of Africa that never shied away from reveling in the continent's darkness, both literal and imagined."
And this is the subject that moves Jonas from petty lies to grand fictions, the story of his father's flight to America. It is, in this telling, a great story; it's also a story that I'd already read, in the New Yorker, when Mengestu was featured in their 20 under 40 issue this summer. Mengestu's story was, I thought, the best of that series, and it was the father's story as related by the son, straight through, several chapters of this book stitched together. In the novel's version, though, the story is interrupted, interspersed with chapters about Jonas — his marriage falling apart, his visit in the present-day to his mother, recently widowed. And while the story might reach a little further thematically, with two hundred pages of Jonas preceding it to set the stage, and fifty pages interleaved developing things further, the excerpt's focus and singlemindedness made for a more direct and unequivocal story.
"When one of my students wanted to know what I did before I began teaching at the academy, I told him that I had spent years working in a coal mine and had the blackened lungs to prove it. To another I was the captain of a Japanese trawler, and then a few days later a pimp and hustler. The more outlandish my responses were, the more my students wanted to know the truth, which had been the point all along."
Especially when the book is framed, more or less directly, as an outgrowth of the lying-to-please. Jonas discovers, teaching part-time at a prep school, that by dangling bits of stories that seem to reveal something personal, historical, explanatory, he commands the attention of his students; lying, his best talent, not only saves him from conflict in real life, but engages his students professionally — a new dimension on his defining skill. He begins with small untruths about himself; he finishes with a long story about his father's journey from Ethiopia to America, which, when pressed by the headmaster, he admits is almost entirely fiction. The headmaster praises him for encouraging students to think about the wider world.
"At the time I hadn't given much thought to what I was saying. I had returned home and I had found Angela sitting at the table, buried in work but still worried about where I was, and I had thought it almost miraculous that such a thing should occur. Nothing in my life up to that point had quite prepared me for that, neither my parents nor the handful of lovers I had had before then. Everything else I said after that I said with the preservation of that image in mind."
This is the root of the book — a justification for untruth, the reason for a marriage falling apart. It's a different set of circumstances than normal, for an end-of-marriage narrative, in that the reasons don't lie in infidelity or competition or whatever else, but are inherent in the characters, seeded in the narrator's case by his parents, delivered without an explicit x-leads-to-y roadmap. He lies, which dooms the relationship, because he wants things to stay as they are. That doesn't mean, though, that over the bulk of the book that his tendency to lie, to avoid honesty to save confrontation, doesn't leach into all of the stories he tells; it doesn't make his narration, however affecting when at its best, any less dubious.
"These revelations into a paradigm of recusant science, so the goddamn universe itself was up for grabs, were part of the most awesome shift in vision Billy had ever had. But the awe had been the greatest when he had not understood at all. The more they were clarified, the more the kitsch of the norms disappointed him."
But of course, despite the richness of the themes and the language, the detail of the setting, this book comes down to a final, violent clash between good and evil, with a hero and his ragtag band of comrades ranged against the treachery of a villain. There's a chapters-long action sequence. There's a short denouement. And the predictability and comfort of the structure works to enable all the other stuff, but also works against it, leaving the means of the plot in doubt but never the structure or the outcome. This is a difficult balance: Scarlett Thomas, who's very similar in some ways to Mieville in her relationship to convention (while coming at many things from the opposite direction, kicking against things he embraces) did her best to frustrate similar expectations in Our Tragic Universe; the result was interesting, but I'd much rather have Kraken with me when trapped on a bus.
"'Whether you agree with the bloody predicates or not, Constable Collingswood, you should consider the possiblity that faith might be a way of thinking more rigorously than the woolly bullshit of most atheists. It's not an intellectual mistake.' He tapped his forehead. 'It's a way of thinking about all sorts of other things, as well as itself. The Virgin birth's a way of thinking about women and about love. The ark is a far more bloody logical way of thinking about the question of animal husbandry than the delightful ad hoc thuggery we've instituted. Creationism's a way of thinking I am not worthless at a time when people were being told and shown they were.'"
The religious speculation here, in a novel set in a London lorded over by many gods, with overlapping worshippers and competing belief systems, is an example of the way genre can work to incorporate, delineate, even illumine a knot of ideas: the hypotheticals that get taken as a given in the imagined world set up boundaries for a thought experiment, and it's a benefit of the form that the writer gets to perform that thought experiment. That said, it's an indication of Mieville's control that he can seed his speculations on religion throughout the book, but when he gets to the point of pulling threads together for a dramatic climax, the speculations he's followed are not just a digression or even a thematic overlay, but wind up being central to the resolution of the plot. This is a thing genre allows; it takes a strong practitioner of his genre to capitalize.
"Of course, they're all over, gods are. Theurgic vermin, those once worshipped or still worshipped in secret, those half worshipped, those feared and resented, petty divinities: they infect everybloodywhere. The ecosystems of godhead are fecund, because there's nothing and nowhere that can't generate the awe on which they graze. But just because there are cockroaches everywhere doesn't mean there aren't cockroaches in particular in a New York kitchen. And just because angels keep their ancient places and every stone, cigarette packet, tor and town has its deities, doesn't mean there's nothing special about London."
Another thing about Mieville is his investment in the city — London in particular, but the idea of the city, a heterogeneous shifting not-quite-mixture like a pousse cafe or an oilslick — as setting and metaphor. Obviously, the sheer force of will that creates the city in Perdido Street Station is something impressive, but following The City & The City Mieville has a different authority with a contemporary setting, situating the incredible within something more-or-less realist. Which gives Kraken a heavier anchor than earlier novels.
"The police arrived at last, coming in a stampy gang."
"Stampy" is followed in the next sentence by "benthic." A few lines later, Billy the hero finds himself "standing by the lack," that is, the space where a stolen object used to be. By the end of the chapter, "a twirl of rubbishy wind was gusting around some klaggy-looking squirrel on a rooftop." I don't mean to imply that Mieville isn't assisted by working more or less in sci-fi, the deeper end of genre fiction where an invented language or at least lexicon is encouraged (see A Clockwork Orange, or more recently Adam Langer). But even in the face of genre's tolerance for overwriting (or experimentation!) the effects — in tone and mood, in economy of expression — that Mieville gets are impressive. And he's (mostly) using standard English; and I'm just talking about diction, here.
"… in La Risiera in Trieste I passed a group of high school students on a field trip, in the middle of the barracks near the crematorium they were very busy murmuring sweet nothings to each other, furtively smoking, elbowing each other, under the severe gaze of an emotional history teacher, here so many people have suffered, she said, and this sentence had no meaning for them, or so little, that's normal, it will come to have less and less, just as the monuments to the dead of 1914 in France don't affect anyone anymore …"Of course, the exertion of the style means that the language and the wash of images it creates take center stage: simply by not conforming to the conventions of the realist novel, the language adds complication. And by the time the main character reaches the outskirts of Rome (which is of course the time when his internal monologues climax, and we understand the relationship between the personal and historical catastrophes that have brought him to his current moment, running away under an assumed name, all unfortunately rather predictable) all of the shocking and visceral moments, the increasingly horrific images of warfare, whether committed by the Nazis or the Croatian Ustachis in the '90s, bleed together, their impact blanketed by the effects of the prose.
"I climb into the trans-Italian express that must have been the zenith of progress and technology ten years ago for its doors were automatic and it went faster than 200 kilometers per hour in a straight line on a good day and today, a little closer to the end of the world, it's just a train: the same goes for all things like trains and cars, embraces, faces, bodies their speed their beauty or their ugliness seems ridiculous a few years later, once they're putrid or rusty … "
Zone is written completely in a single-sentence rush, with no terminal punctuation except for the breaks between chapters and the occasional excerpt from something else. It takes place wholly in the mind of its protagonist, a series of reminiscences as he takes a train from Milan to Rome, and ponders over his life in war and espionage. And it's pretty good, with a textual trick that at least makes sense for the onrush of the character's thoughts, but it does beg the question of why this book gets translated — like poetry, this sort of highly-crafted language-dependent near-prose-poem must be incredible in the French, for a French reader; how much of the novel's intangibles get lost in moving it (kicking and screaming) into English?
"You know the plays that are on extended runs, for ten or twenty years? You're like those actors who have been in the play for so long that they don't remember who they were before the play. You live that same role every night, no matter how you live during the day. So then you find yourself confused, since the Ki-yong at night has more continuity than the Ki-yong during the day. You know how the portrait of Dorian Gray ages instead of the man himself?"
This is the kind of muddying, or fuzziness, that Your Republic does. The notion that a spy becomes his cover, the way an actor becomes his role? Not exactly a striking analogy, but perfectly fine, an acceptable commonplace. The notion of continuity makes it specific, applicable to the situation. But that's followed with stranger analogy of Dorian Gray — which follows the metaphor a little bit too far, warps and changes it, so that neither version of Ki-yong's alienation quite coheres.
"That's only a temporary solution. The last war was all about fire. Pyongyang went back to the stone age because of American bombs. After that was the era of earth. We picked up our shovels and erected cities. Through the Chollima Movement, we built a republic as good as any other. Now it's the era of water. Water appears placid from the outside but there's actually a very powerful energy within it. That's why we have to control water. We're doing that now, but nobody knows what will happen. Soon it will become the era of air. It may be the most painful era, more than the periods of fire, earth, and water."
This is not to say that Your Republic isn't more interesting than accomplished. The prose is clunky, in a way that isn't clear whether it's the author's or translator's fault; the tension of the novel's one-day conceit gets bled away by three mostly-separate plots, Ki-yong's, his wife's, and his daughter's, interspersed with Ki-yong's nostalgia; the conclusion is anticlimactic. But one of the things that gets conveyed is the epic fuzziness of North Korean thought — not only in this version of history, but also in the ongoing contradictions that make up the Juche Ideology.
"In truth, all the information gathered by spies is already out in the open. Spying is similar to clipping newspaper articles. The quality of information culled by spies isn't any better or worse than that. Information covers the sky in a black mass, like migratory birds in early winter. No, Ki-yong thinks, that is too menacing an image."
And Kim also touches on the quotidian reality of espionage work; between diplomatic cable leaks and new Korean tensions, this feels nearly ripped-from-the-headlines.
"Ki-yong knew what ennui was, but this was the first time he personally observed it. At home, it was an abstract idea batted about when criticizing capitalism. Of course, there was ennui back home, too. But in a socialist society it was closer to boredom."
The setup is interesting: Ki-yong is a North Korean sleeper agent, secure in his belief that his masters have forgotten about him after purging his controller years ago, suddenly activated. Kim (the writer, not the main character, although they share a name) doesn't clarify whether Ki-yong is loyal or not, willing to follow his orders or just scared of their implications; but the retrospective bits, where Ki-yong arrives in and begins to adjust to the South, are an interesting thought-experiment.
"When he'd first escaped from the Youth Study Center up on Henry, he'd spent three days hiding at the movie house at the end of Main Street in Manayunk just going from theater to theater and there was always some scene where a guy is about to take on the bad guys, or just lost his wife, or his best friend, or his dog or something, and the music that's supposed to make you cry is going and the guy's just barely holding it together. People loved that moment, Jimmy thought, and wanted it in real life too."
This whole short short story — Dennis Tafoya's "Under the Imperial" — is made up of the kind of stuff that's been left out of something like Moonlight Mile: it's not the geography or the super-specific local stuff like the Drake's cupcakes or the clear description of the streets in the island between Ridge Ave and Kelly Drive. It's the specificity of voice and character, the preference for viewpoint over action; it's the way that a small theme (in this case, the moment of potential, which is something Tafoya seems to come back to often) encapsulates both character backstory and plot work.
"The two guys with the Weimaraners did note that Amanda looked a little like the girl in the Twilight movies, if not in the hair and the cheekbones, then in the nose and the forehead and the close-set eyes, but then they got into an argument over whether said actress was a Kristen or a Kirsten, and I wandered over to the middle-aged woman before it devolved into a Team Edward vs. Team Jacob imbroglio."
The A-story here is something else entirely, and it's pretty clear which role this book belongs in. It's a screenplay in narrative, a revisiting of characters with as much history (together, with the reader) as can be shorthanded into exposition and establishing shots; it's a sequel with sequel logic and plotting. And it shows, more than anything else, in the low stakes of the plot and its resolution: the hero gets manipulated, and then manipulated again, but then his problems are wiped away by a deus ex machina, outside of his control and independent of his exertion and far from his imagination, even. And that makes a moment like this one — where this weird Twilight note sits up against a topical gay-marriage bit and another compact touching little bit sketching the sociology of a dog park — easier to identify as the tonic note rather than an off tone or a grace note.

A military-type organizational structure, commonly employed in large, centralized corporations.
Line and staff management has two separate hierarchies: (1) the line hierarchy in which the departments are revenue generators (manufacturing, selling), and their managers are responsible for achieving the organization's main objectives by executing the key functions (such as policy making, target setting, decision making); (2) the staff hierarchy, in which the departments are revenue consumers, and their managers are responsible for activities that support line functions (such as accounting, maintenance, personnel management). While both hierarchies have their own chains of command, a line manager may have direct control over staff employees but a staff manager may have no such power over the line employees. In modern practice, however, the difference in the two hierarchies is not so clear-cut and jobs often have elements of the both types of functions.

text: Kingman, Kan. - Kingman County voters have rejected a proposed countywide sales tax to help fund construction of a new county law enforcement center. The unofficial vote total was 802 to 749. There are 24 provisional ballots, but even after canvasing, election officials believe there are not enough votes for the measure to pass. The county planned to use the sales tax revenue along with annual payments from the Flat Ridge 2 commercial wind farm to construct the law enforcement center. The expected cost of the facility was $11.8 million. cost of $11.8 million. The plans called for offices, storage space and training rooms for the county sheriff and Kingman police, an emergency operations center, 911 dispatch and a modern 32-bed jail. Voters were asked to approve a new one-quarter percent retailers' sales tax for 20 years and to extend a current three-quarters percent sales tax, also for 20 years. The one-quarter percent tax would have started in July 2014 and the three-quarters percent tax would have started in 2021. A current three-quarters percent tax for road and bridge maintenance expires Dec. 31, 2020. The current law enforcement center, which is located just south of the courthouse, was built in 1959. It is in a flood plain and does not meet Americans with Disabilities Act accessibility requirements. It includes the current jail, which has 13 beds. It is also home to the sheriff, Kingman police and the county's 911 dispatch center.

Blue Devils dedicate field on April 1
The Diamond Devils of Tunica Academy have been on the road for most of the 2011 season, going 3-0 in the conference and 3-6 overall, heading into a big home game on April 1.
And that game on the newly refurbished field will be a special one: a dedication ceremony will precede the 3 p.m. game against rival DeSoto Academy.
With new dugouts, fence and lights, TA's field has gotten a much-needed renovation, thanks in part to Troop 16 Scout Joseph Melton, who is working toward his Eagle award.

The AfterEllen.com Huddle: Living lesbian stereotypes
Heather O'Neil: My son's father thinks I should just cut and paste my music playlist as my answer, but I'd say early cohabitation with a woman who looks so much like me that, as an undergrad, I used her ID to get into bars because she is two years older. Then we started dating. Then we moved to Brooklyn. Then we got married. Then we had a baby.
Lately, we've been trying to eat vegetarian, much to the annoyance our meat-lovin' three-year-old son. And we have a cat and a pair of Chucks each.
p>Drummerdeeds: While several of the other AE blogger extraordinaires have me beat in the stereotype category (I've solicited their training, so bear with me), I can check off a few boxes that caused my peers in high school to call me a lesbo nonstop: 1) I'm an uber-feminist. Fairly militant, too.
2) Barring a few exceptions (Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Prince), I only listen to female singers. They're just better. To me, all male singers sound like the lead singer of Nickelback.
3) I'm a lesbian nationalist. I favor queer people in general, but I truly think that queer women are just better human beings. I also think that most women are queer women, but that's encroaching on another stereotype. We'll stop here for now.
Grace Chu: This is a tough one. I am allergic to cats. I'm too afraid to touch power tools or heavy machinery (but I'm good with old school tools like hammers and nails). I suck at sports — even beer pong (although I'm pretty good at flip cup). I don't even like watching sports. I didn't go to a Seven Sisters college. I never took a women's studies or queer studies class. The Lesbian Avengers in college scared me. I can't stand most music in the "girls with guitars" genre. I never had a crush on Shane on The L Word. I have limited ex-girlfriend drama, because they don't live in the same state – or country – as I do. I waited an entire year before moving in with my ex fiancee, but it was mostly out of necessity, because I decided to take two bar exams at the same time; my lease ended on the last day of that s–tshow, and looking for an apartment wasn't really high on my priority list. I am mostly carnivorous, and I think vegans are weird. I only recycle when people are watching me. I prefer wine over beer. I never hung out in Brooklyn until someone started paying me to cover the New York City scene. (It was hard to argue that Brooklyn isn't part of New York City.)
Actually, come to think of it, I never hung out in the lesbian scene period until someone started paying me.
My hair is long, boring and acceptable for corporate America, and I like it that way. I don't rail against capitalism; the alternatives are worse. I have never dated anyone who looks remotely like me, and in the past, if we left the house even wearing matching colors I'd become anxious. I do own Chucks, but they're the wimpy kind.
Would writing for the biggest lesbian site on the internet suffice? What about fabricating Facebook drama out of boredom? I have started wearing sensible shoes more often. And I have been known to become overly competitive at things that don't matter. Oh, and I like puppies. Will any of this prevent my lesbian card from being revoked?

text: As far as I know, this is a much bigger problem in the US than in most countries, in particular, France. In France, the regulators are highly educated at the Ecole Nationale d'Administration, receive good salaries, and have low turnover - because the top tiers of the bureaucracy are filled by merit (Civil Service) not by political appointees. In the US we have, I believe, over 10,000 political appointee jobs that turn over every time a new President takes office. In France that number is about a hundred. The ability to accumulate and pass on knowledge is constantly degraded in our system. By design, I would say.

Marlin - October 5 , 2014
Meet Marlin! He is a well-mannered, gentle boy of about 3 yrs of age. His current family is unable to meet his needs and are therefore surrendering him. He needs to find a foster or adoptive home as soon as possible.
Please contact us if you can provide the home that Marlin desperately requires.
Snowball - October 5 , 2014
This beauty is 11 mth old Snowball. You can call her whatever you like though as Snowball is deaf and as long as you say it with a smile, she is happy
Phoenix - September 12 , 2014
Phoenix is a beautiful 5 yr old girl who hasn't had the best life experiences up to her coming to us. She produced litter after litter for her original owners but wasn't treated kindly. Phoenix spent her days in a barn with little social interaction or affection. Then, when they were done making money off her, she was offered for sale on Kijiji.
Some wonderful people bought Phoenix but soon realized they didn't have the experience to integrate her into society at large. She was wonderful in their home with their family but very fearful in new situations with new people.
Phoenix has improved by leaps and bounds since coming into foster care. She gets along famously with her three foster brothers and foster sister. She is doing well in obedience class where she is exposed to other dogs and new people.
Phoenix needs a home that will continue to patiently work with her. She's a very loving girl who loves nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch and bed with her person. She would do well with a calm, laid back boy for company.
Sloan - September 12 , 2014
See Sloan's video:
Sloan is a 7yr old neutered Boxer mix. He has a wonderful temperament and adores people. He gets along with most other dogs. Sloan has been in foster care for over 4 years now. While he is thriving in his foster home, he would love nothing more than to have his own person, rather than be one of 6 or 7 dogs.
Sloan has "paid it forward", being an integral part of the rehabilitation process of a number of behaviorally challenged foster dogs.
Sloan is an energetic, strong guy and is looking for a home with an active person/family who will channel his energy in fun, productive ways.
Sloan needs an experienced family, preferably with no young children due to his high energy. He also requires a placement where his folks understand rules, boundaries and limitations and who are committed to continuing with his training.
If you looking for a hiking and frisbee buddy by day and snuggler by night, Sloan is your guy!

It should also be mentioned that Aeromotive offers a fuel pump speed controller. This is mainly required by EFI systems with an inline pump rather than an in-tank version, which can help prevent cavitation and vaporization caused by low pressure in the pre-pump plumbing, caused when the constantly re-circulating fuel becomes hot after running through the engine bay and back to the tank a few times. Given that 8 gallons of fuel will re-circulate every three minutes, you can see how heat can build up. Activated by a signal from the tachometer, the speed controller will reduce pump speed at lower rpm; ramping up to full speed at 2,500 rpm. However, unless the car will sit idling for hours, the controller is not required with a fuel cell system, which eliminates the pre-pump plumbing and associated low-pressure issues.
If you're a regular reader you'll already have seen the dropped trunk floor I fabricated to house the fuel cell and RideTech compressor and pump for the air suspension. The remainder of the installation involved drilling holes to route the braided fuel lines through the floor, fabricating a mount for the fuel filter on the righthand chassis rail, and mounting the regulator to the firewall. Actually, there was a little more to it than that, as I chose to run rigid stainless for both the feed and return lines rather than run braided hose front to rear. The hardest part of the install was figuring out the plumbing and the fittings needed, and I resorted to drawing the system out on a large sheet of cardboard to make sure I got it right. This may sound lame, but considering the number of fittings required to switch from braided to hard line, and in and out of the various components, it worked out the best way for me.
I was also trying to figure out how to run the Aeromotive fuel log in a "full-flow" manner, but given its physical size and the location of my A/C compressor, it didn't work out, no matter how I tried. I even ordered special Fragola banjo fittings from Summit Racing in the hope they'd clear the compressor, but to no avail. I eventually resigned to run a semi-"dead head" system, whereby the fuel passes through the regulator to the fuel log, which is blanked off at the forward end, the return line to the tank running back from the regulator. By comparison, the "full-flow" system involves the fuel entering the front of the log, with the regulator actually attached to the rear of the log rather than the firewall, and with the return line again running from the regulator. Speaking to the guys at Aeromotive, though the full-flow system is what they usually recommend, I was assured the alternative was perfectly adequate for a street application. Let's face it, it's what we've all seen many, many times before on street cars with more power than my Chevy, and that's without a return line.
Once I got my head around the layout of the system-thanks to my cardboard diagram-and worked out the routing of the hoses and hard lines, the complete system was a breeze to fit and I really liked the simplicity of the pump-in-tank method. Not only does the fuel system look good, I know it'll handle whatever I throw at it in the future, and am excited that the project is one major step closer to completion.

(Updates with buyer in second paragraph.)
June 30 (Bloomberg) -- Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. sold an office building at 1107 Broadway in Manhattan for $190.8 million, according to an e-mail sent to the defunct firm's chief executive officer, Bryan Marsal.
Steven Witkoff, chairman and CEO of New York-based Witkoff Group, was the buyer, Kimberly Macleod, a Lehman spokeswoman, said in a separate e-mail today. Other bidders included Harry Macklowe and SL Green Realty Corp., according to the e-mail sent yesterday to Marsal.
The price for the building, once part of the former International Toy Center, rose at a two-hour auction in Manhattan yesterday from a starting bid of $161.5 million from L&L Holding Co., Anthony Barsanti, who runs Lehman's real-estate team, wrote in the e-mail to Marsal. Net proceeds to Lehman will be about $155 million, according to the e-mail.
Lehman earlier this month won a judge's approval to sell the building for about $160 million. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge James Peck said he "endorsed" the decision by Lehman and its creditors' committee to "monetize an asset."
Marsal, the co-founder of restructuring firm Alvarez & Marsal LLC, aims to raise $65 billion by selling Lehman's assets, including real estate that it values at $13.2 billion. Lehman raised $3 billion through March from real estate sales, according to the company's liquidation plan filed yesterday.
Closely held L&L, founded in 2000, acquires and develops Manhattan office buildings, according to its website. L&L Chairman David W. Levinson is the former vice chairman of CB Richard Ellis Group Inc.
The case is In re Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., 08-13555, U.S. Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Stolen Hours is the overlong, overglamorized 1963 remake of the 1939 Bette Davis vehicle Dark Victory. Susan Hayward plays a rich, neurotic socialite who discovers that she only has a year to live. Acting resentfully at first--especially towards handsome doctor Michael Craig, who withheld this information from her "for her own good"--Hayward eventually adopts a philosophical attitude towards her fate. By the time she begins slipping into "that undiscovered uncountry," Hayward is practically a candidate for sainthood. A plot device not utilized in the original involves Hayward's virtual adoption of a young boy (Robert Bacon), who is neglected by his own mother. Novelist Jessamyn West and playwright Joseph Hayes did their best to "contemporize" the outdated elements of the original Dark Victory, even unto having Susan Hayward learn to dance the Twist! Stolen Hours was filmed in England, affording us lovely Technicolor glimpses of the Cornish coast. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi


text: It's been a while folks. I've been pretty good lately on going easy with the rants, but this time, I have to speak up. I posted an article about a great looking game called Dead Trigger last month, and how users with Tegra 3 devices (like myself) would be treated to "extended graphics" that wouldn't display on dual core or single core devices. The video for the game was very impressive, and I actually felt lucky to have Tegra 3 device when I saw how well it played on my Transformer Prime. Then it happened. XDA member SnakeHaveYou not only exposed Nvidia as very shady, but showed a SIMPLE way of enabling those "exclusive Tegra 3 graphics" on NON Tegra devices. In other words, Nvidia is PURPOSELY keeping you from getting the best experience for your money.

The horrors of the Haitian earthquake continue, but so does the outpouring of international support. Along with hundreds of millions of dollars in public and private donations, the U.S. has announced it will send up to 10,000 troops to Haiti to assist in the relief effort.
The influx of American troops will add to the thousands of United Nations personnel already present in the impoverished country. —JCL
The BBC:
Up to 10,000 US troops will be on the ground or off the coast of Haiti by Monday to help deal with the earthquake aid effort, US defence officials say.
Aid distribution has begun but logistics continue to be extremely difficult, UN officials say.
Tuesday's earthquake has left as many as 45,000-50,000 people dead.
Correspondents say survivors seem increasingly desperate and angry as bottlenecks and infrastructure damage delay relief efforts.

Review: VMware vSphere 5.1 looms large
VMware takes virtualization higher and deeper with rich storage automation and more advanced virtual networking tools
With the release of VMware vSphere 5.1, VMware's product line underwent some naming and positioning changes. In the past, there were two different bare-metal hypervisors, one free and one sold as part of the vSphere suite. Now there is just one. The new standard is ESXi 5.1, which still comes in a free version. However, the free version is now limited to 32GB of physical RAM.
The ESXi hypervisor is required for all vSphere installations starting with version 5.0. ESXi does not use Linux, as did ESX, for the service console that executed scripts and provided hooks for third-party agents. The new ESXi code base has shrunk, presenting a smaller attack surface and requiring less maintenance and patching. Higher reliability and stability in the hypervisor translate to fewer headaches for IT administrators and longer uptime for mission-critical applications.
[ Virtualization showdown: Microsoft Hyper-V 2012 vs. VMware vSphere 5.1 | Get virtualization right with InfoWorld's Server Virtualization Deep Dive PDF guide and High Availability Virtualization Deep Dive PDF special report. ]
VMware has also introduced three different offerings under the label vCloud Suite, which include bundled products targeted at specific use cases. They are licensed on a per-CPU basis and come in Standard, Advanced, and Enterprise editions. These products provide the functionality to implement infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) clouds for large data centers or service providers. For this review I focused on the basic VMware vSphere functionality along with the VMware vCenter Server management system.
Installation and configuration
For the purpose of this review I used a Dell PowerEdge R715 server as the primary VMware ESXi host. Dell is a longtime VMware partner, and it has many convenient features, such as the ability to boot the base ESXi image from either an SD card or a USB disk. Dell provides this image on its website, and I used it to create a bootable USB device. Installing and configuring an ESXi host is pretty simple for most any supported hardware.
Configuring a vSphere environment is a different story. If you plan on using any of the more advanced features available from VMware, you will need to install vCenter Server. Here you have several options, such as using an existing Windows Server or deploying the vCenter Server as a virtual appliance (VA). The VA option uses Suse Linux as the base OS and a local database for small installations of less than 50 VMs. For larger installations you must use an external Oracle database. If you go the Windows Server route, you'll also need to have SQL Server installed to house the inventory database.
You must configure a separate network for all vMotion traffic before any virtual machine migrations can be accomplished. Each host participating in vMotion must have a minimum of two Ethernet adapters with at least one supporting Gigabit speeds. Each host must have a port group designated for vMotion traffic with source and destination hosts on the same subnet. That's quite a bit of configuration required to accomplish a migration -- especially when compared to Microsoft's Hyper-V live migration feature, which requires almost no configuration.

As portraits slide out of Oh! Snap Photo Booths printer, they emerge bright, colorful, and often a little wacky. Photo booths capture cheerful moments and playful images, from friends posing together in goofy glasses to costumed youngsters acting out Wild West scenes to couples draped in feathery boas. The booths are accompanied by expert attendants, who assemble the easy-to-use touch-screens, professional lighting, and backdrops. Upon request, the accommodating staffers can supply subjects with whimsical props, custom backgrounds, and a spread of free "cheese".
Established: 2013
Staff Size: 2?10 people
Reservations/Appointments: Required
Pro Tip: We are a themed photo booth. We come dressed in costumes for the occasion.
Old Fashioned Photo Booth is more mobile than you might think. In fact, it can travel up to 150 miles in order to attend parties, weddings, and other special events. When it arrives, the booth doesn't waste time mingling or sipping punch: it gets right down to business, spitting out color or black-and-white pictures. The booth is multi-talented, too, since it's capable of producing both traditional photo strips and postcard-style prints emblazoned with personalized labels. After the booth says its goodbyes, hosts receive a CD loaded with all the photos from the party, which they can use to post shots on social media or toss into a crowd of potential new friends.
Renting your own photobooth can both add a spontaneous atmosphere of fun to parties and assist scientific studies on the human face's full mugging capabilities. This Groupon is subject to availability; call ahead to ensure that your desired date is available.
Most Popular Service: Photo Booth
Reservations/Appointments: Required
Established: 1999
Staff Size: 25?50 people

LivePix Studios' mobile photo studios go on-location to capture the sillier side of clients' special moments from birthday parties to weddings. Photographers tote along colorful backgrounds ranging from polka dots to eye-crossing designs and a box of hundreds of props so subjects can surprise the host by wearing fake mustaches or kooky sunglasses. Post-party, hosts receive a DVD with a slideshow of all the shots for viewing at the party's 20-year reunion.

Bar Refaeli with Simon Cowell: 'X Factor Israel' Promo Video
Posted by andre with 1 Comment
On the heels of X Factor U.K.'s 10th season rollout this weekend and with the U.S. version set to return next week, Israel's version of the singing contest premiered its first official promo starring format creator Simon Cowell and local edition host, supermodel Bar Refaeli.
In the one minute, 42 second clip, which surfaced online in Israel Sunday morning, the 28-year-old stunner is shown driving a sports car in the desert, ending up at a diner where she meets a digitally manipulated Cowell.
In a short, flirtatious rendezvous Refaeli introduces Cowell to the four judges: pop star Ivri Lider, labeled "the clever one," balladeer Shiri Maimon, aka "the diamond," veteran rocker Rami Fortis, "the crazy one," and ethnic rocker Moshe Peretz, "the prince".
Cowell then concludes the short encounter saying, "Bar, I think you've got yourself a panel," which prompts the 2009 Sports Illustrated swimsuit Issue cover girl to thank him and take his car keys, hence getting his approval to get behind the wheel of the car for his show's debut in the Holy Land. A slogan at the end reads, "The real thing is coming to Israel."
For weeks before the promo premiered, the show already had been generating buzz in Israel for channel 2 network Reshet Broadcasting, even causing rival Keshet Broadcasting to dump its declining singing competition format Kochav Nolad after a decade in favor of a new hybrid, named Rising Star. The latter will be introduced to buyers at next month's Mipcom in Cannes.
Israel's The X Factor is slated debut in the coming weeks, following the high holidays hiatus, while Cowell will continue his flirting with the U.S. version's three female judges, Demi Lovato, Kelly Rowland and Paulina Rubio. The show premieres on Fox on Sept. 11.
