It's been nearly a month since we started school, and GlobeMed has been working diligently to make this year a success. We have selected a staff of over 60 passionate students looking for a platform to pursue their public health initiative; they are already hard at work! We have planned a global health panel featuring the co-founder of our partner organization, Himalayan HealthCare (HHC), and two University of Colorado professors. In November, we are hosting our annual benefit dinner, as well as a conference to unite GlobeMed chapters from around the state. Additionally, our Grassroots Onsite Work (GROW) interns have returned safely from Nepal and have been inspiring us all with their stories.
This summer, GlobeMed at CU-Boulder sent 5 GROW interns to Nepal for 10 weeks to critically evaluate the HHC projects we support. The interns spent the majority of their time with a lower caste community in the rural village of Sertung, where they worked on an income-generating greenhouse project, the latrines project, and the efficient cookstove project.
By the time our GROW interns had arrived in the village, the lower-caste, or Kami, community had already established community leaders for an agriculture group. With the help of GlobeMed funding, HHC bought the Kami community a small piece of land, and the interns collaborated with them to build a greenhouse. The majority of the Kami people have never owned their own land, and the GROW interns reported that it was amazing to witness how motivated members of the community were to plow the field, build the greenhouse, and plant seeds for sustainable food to feed their families someday. In the greenhouse, they planted tomatoes, beans, lettuce, cucumbers, carrots, radishes, and squash with the hope that the produce would not only help feed their families, but also provide a source of income, as they could sell surplus vegetable to others members of the village. The GROW interns said that the Kami community was incredible to work with because they took great pride in their work, as evidenced by the smiles they wore everyday.
Unanimously, the GROW interns agreed that the latrine project was their favorite because it has such a visible impact. As a result of the latrines, sanitation and personal hygiene in the rural Dhading District has greatly improved. Additionally, families with latrines are no longer forced to walk the 20-30 minutes to go to the bathroom in a field. Although not every family has a latrine, HHC recently initiated a "One Home, One Toilet Campaign," in which they plan to provide a latrine to each household. To motivate villagers to build high-quality latrines, HHC recently implemented a competition that provides a monetary reward for the best-built latrine. The GROW interns were included in the judging process, and said that they saw some innovative latrines!
New this year, the GROW interns developed surveys to help HHC assess the impact of their efficient cookstove project. These surveys included information regarding the amount of firewood used by each family, the annual number of trips to the health post, problems with the stoves, and demographic information. They also measured the amount of particulate matter and carbon monoxide in homes both with and without an efficient cookstove. While they haven't finished compiling the data, the GROW interns have found that HHC's efficient cookstoves reduce the amount of firewood burned by families, as well as the amount of smoke within the home. Over time, this leads to decreased incidence of respiratory illness.
GlobeMed at CU-Boulder wants to thank you for your continued support of our projects. All of our work depends on the generous support of people like you. For more information on our projects please visit our website www.globemedcu.org. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram for daily pictures, stories, and articles pertaining to global and public health! Lastly, if you are near Boulder and would like to visit one of our meetings or meet a passionate member of the GlobeMed team, please don't hesitate to ask!
In solidarity,
It's been a busy couple months for GlobeMed at CU Boulder and Himalayan HealthCare, but now that summer is here we're able to reflect on the incredible work that we've accomplished. Over the past year, GlobeMed has hosted over 10 successful campaigns on the Boulder campus, including our annual Benefit Dinner and a Hustle for Health 5K Race. We also introduced two new educational events: the Colorado GlobeMed Conference, which brought together GlobeMed chapters from all over Colorado, and the Global Health Fair on CU's campus, which was a collaboration between GlobeMed and other health related student groups and organizations on campus.
Through the combined efforts of our dedicated staff and your generous support, we were able to raise over $34,000 this academic year, 100% of which goes to supporting the education and health projects our partner Himalayan HealthCare implements in Nepal!
These funds have helped to provide the materials required for the construction of 25 latrines, which are being used by over 160 villagers, in the villages of Tipling, Sherthungand Lapa! Our efforts also funded the installation of 30 efficient cookstoves in homes in the Dhadhing district. This immediately benefits the health of families through a decrease of smoke inhalation and firewood consumption, which reduces deforestation and the amount of time women and children must spend collecting wood, indirectly improving school attendance. In addition to these projects, we also have continued to support educational stipends, women's empowerment courses, income generation projects, and medical referrals.
Just because the school year is over doesn't mean we have stopped working. In the spring, we transitioned our new executive board, which is hard at work devising a strategic plan in order to make next year as successful as possible. We also sent five grassroots onsite work (G.R.O.W.) interns off to Nepal in May and we are anxiously awaiting the stories and statistics about GlobeMed's impact that they'll bring back! Check our website, globemedcu.org, for updates on our upcoming campaigns!
Thank you to all of you who have supported our efforts this year. Your generosity has greatly impacted the health, education, and overall quality of life of the Nepali villagers and has helped progress the movement towards global health equity!
GlobeMed at CU Boulder hit the ground running this semester with our Hustle for Health 5K and Holi Celebration! With over 175 participants registered it was one of our most successful events to date! We are lucky to share our success here in Colorado with our wonderful partner Himalayan HealthCare (HHC), who thanks to all of your support is creating tangible, measurable changes in rural Nepal! They have currently secured a partnership that will allow for over 40 latrines to be built this coming year, are training more locals to implement the efficient cookstove project and the goat program is well underway!
A breed of hybrid goats, which are better suited for the climate and have more meat have been purchased and are on their way to Tipling from Kathmandu as we speak! They will be distributed to the families that GlobeMed's G.R.O.W. team selected after conducting an extensive community wide survey of the Kami Village of Tipling. Our G.R.O.W. interns this coming summer will have the opportunity to check in on this project and report back on the welfare of both the goat and families!
Currently HHC is focusing its administrative efforts on partnering with the local government agencies of the Dhading district to ensure that people in the villages of Tipling, Lapa and Shertrung are receiving the government services that they are entitled to. The group meet with many Local Development Officers, specifically the Chiefs of public health, education, agriculture, veterinary care and the village development committee secretary. HHC embraces the partnership model just like GlobeMed and all parties are hopeful that this collaboration will lead to even more effective programs in the future for these villages!
Please visit GlobeMed's website at globemedcu.org to see our upcoming events for the semester as we work towards our goal of raising $30,000 for HHC this school year! As always, we deeply value your support and partnership and hope that you find the work we are accomplishing just as important as we do!
Happy Spring,

When Maria Bello first met Clare Munn, she had an "immediate connection."
"I didn't think of it as romantic or sexual," Bello says in a New York Times column published Sunday titled Coming Out As A Modern Family. "She was one of the most beautiful, charming, brilliant, and funny people I had ever met, but it didn't occur to me that we could perhaps choose to love each other romantically."
The actress has a 12-year-old son, Jackson, from her former relationship with Dan McDermott and says she struggled with how to tell her only child about her relationship with a woman.
"This was the moment I had been anticipating and dreading for months," says Bello of when her son asked if there was something she wasn't telling him.
"I took a deep breath, knowing that my answer, and his response, would have an impact on our lives for a very long time. He was right; I was with someone romantically and I hadn't told him. I had become involved with a woman who was my best friend, and, as it happens, a person who is like a godmother to my son."
But when Bello made the decision to finally tell her son about her relationship, she was surprised by his response.
"He looked at me for what seemed like an eternity and then broke into a huge, warm smile," she said. " 'Mom, love is love, whatever you are,' he said with wisdom beyond his years," she writes.
And Bello agrees with her son.
"I would like to consider myself a 'whatever,' … Whomever I love, however I love them, whether they sleep in my bed or not, or whether I do homework with them or share a child with them," Bello says. "Love is love. And I love our modern family."
"Maybe, in the end," she continues, "a modern family is just a more honest family."
Giving thanks for my modern family. Happy thanksgiving for whatever kind of family you have. @nytimes pic.twitter.com/Mty9FPNHh4

Square of the republic
Is a fairly large square with beautiful buildings and galleries around. Equally impressive where the Prokurative is located here too, is a set of beautiful buildings on three sides of the square. The building has Venetian style with beautiful architecture
Nice to walk around where you'll finds some boutiques and restaurants. This is quiet area to stroll around than other places in the city. Most of the visitors focused on the other part of town, while we wander around feel like we're alone, you can easily take shots with nobody stood in front of it. The opposite side of this square is harbor where you have a nice view of it. Is a nice place to relax and having drinks

Crkva sv. Frane
The present church and the monastery of St. Franciscan was built in the beginning of the 20th century, however, the history of the Franciscans goes back to the 13th century. The first church and the monastery was built on the remains of an early christian church, dated from 5 or 6th century and consacrated to St. Felix. Later on, in the 16th century the church was pulled down and its stones were used for the fortifications, built against the invasion of Ottomans.
The new church is very peopular among the locals who usually choosing it for the weddings.

Trg Republike 'Prokurative' (Republic Square)
This large square hosts the Split Music Festival in the summer and other events. This square is surrounded by colourful neo-Renaissance buildings known as the Prokurative and along with The City Youth Theatre, shops cafes and restaurants.

Republic Square
At the other end of the promenade from the Palace is the Prokurative, or Republic Square as it used to be called. Its modern name reflects its design pretensions: It borrows heavily from the Procuratie in Venice, the three buildings which surround St. Mark's Square. If you've ever been to Venice you'll recognise the design immediately.
Originally the square was a grassy public park, but now it's a wide tiled expanse which is often the venue for big name music acts, like the Arctic Monkeys who played here in 2009. It still retains its neo-Renaissance charm, and the square opens up onto, and frames wonderfully, Split's calm-watered harbour.
Website: http://www.st.carnet.hr/split
Trg Republic is of Elegance
This is the high end look and next to Marmontova Ulica, the main street with upscale shops and a huge square with the most elegant building in a three corner horseshoe shaped site. The name is Prokurative and is really named as Republic Square. The style patterns Venice squares and the first part was completed in 1928. It was a large piece since Napoleon's General Marmont had this area for his garden, and no buildings were on the site. The Hotel Bellevue is occupying one wing and it looks fine outside except the backside needs work.

The so called "Prokurative" are buildings in neo-Renaissance style. They were built in the second half of the 19th century by General Marmont clearly imitating Venetian architecture. This square is most impressive by its size and on the one side adjoining towards the harbour is the infamous Hotel Bellevue whose entrance is on the street behind it.
Address: Trg Republike
The largest square of town, and a very beautiful one, surrounded by old venetian style buildings mostly painted in red and with pleasant arcades where you can find cafes, shops and cinemas.
Some stairs lead to the sea level and the lovely Rivas, the sea promenade of Split.

Trg republike
This elegant, although somewhat worn square is located on the western end of the Riva at the foot of Marmontova Street. The neo-Renaissance buildings here are called the Prokurative (they are city council buildings). Most of the time that I passed through this square it was fairly empty other than a few kids kicking a soccer ball or the occasional mini-crowd waiting for a movie to begin at the theater at the far end of the square.
Apparently in the summer, it's a much more happening place, with outdoor concerts in the square.
Where concerts are held
Its just nice to walk around. reminds me of Venice.. This square are just off Riva and very beautiful. This is a place to be during jazz festivals, classical or pop concerts etc. If you want to go to the movies, Theather Marjan is above it. Just near is hotel Bellevue if you want to stick around during Split music festival in July.
Address: Prokurative
Directions: It right along the Pier

I have uploaded the image of that performance here at Amazon.com so you can see it for yourselves, because it should be seen to be believed, and I've done that for all of you to see just how good this HD really is. The seek speed is 17.9MB.sec across the volume, which does *not* beat a Western Digital Scorpio Black 7200RPM 320GB HD, but it has less area to cover in terms of overall size, and it is a good 15-20MB/sec slower overall than the Hitachi is, @ just over 64/MB/sec for its top speed.
The other nice characteristic of Hitachi notebook HD's is their acoustical noise, or rather a lack of it, and this HD doesn't disappoint there either, as it's virtually silent as it goes about it business, reading and writing in my Asus UL30Vt-X1 13.3" notebook. In fact I cannot hear a thing from the Hitachi HD, it's that silent, doesn't make even a whirring noise, just is silent as can be for a HD...so Kudos for Hitachi Global Storage for making this the best 7200RPM 2.5" HD in the world today.
I can't stress enough how good this retail boxed HD really is, but with 16GB Cache and a fast 7200RPM speed, it really makes mincemeat out of any reading or writing assignment.Read more ›
Keep in mind that most (if not all) laptops will require the 2.5" size. Drives 3.5" are usually meant for desptops. Factor in that this runs at 7200 rpms and has 500gb capacity it's currently the best laptop replacement drive out there for the sub $80 price range.
(1) The only alternative to Seagate's 500gb 7200rpm model embarassment (AFAIK). Western Digital does not make a 2.5" 500gb 7200rpm drive at the time of this review.
(2) Will fit my macbook pro.
(3) Does indeed have 16mb cache (memory buffer) - putting this in here as one reviewer [...] was complaining that this has no cache. It does. Look at the hitachi website product descriptor if you must.
(1) Really can't think of any.
Here's where the problem comes in; if you have an original MacBook Pro (the ones with the silver keys, not the newer unibody ones) the cable that connect to the Bluetooth chip and the IR remote receiver goes directly over where the breather hole is on this drive (which should not be covered). See this image from iFixit for a visual of this cable: [...]
Covering the breather hole can cause the hard drive to fail, and fast, so I had to get a little creative with the cable. I do not recommend doing this.
Since installing this hard drive I have noticed a dramatic increase in the speed of starting up, opening files and shut down on my MBP, and the extra storage is great. However, it's not worth the difficult instal, or the risk of hard drive failure when there are other drives available that work just as well. If you have an original MBP and want to replace your hard drive I highly recommend choosing a different drive that doesn't have the breather hole in the same place.
When I called Hitachi they said that it sounded like the drive was going bad -- send it back and we'll replace it free under warranty.
I've owned Western Digital external drives that have gone bad (a LOT of WD drives that have gone bad...) but they DO offer one nice feature -- when the drive goes bad you can contact the company and give them your credit card number. They'll send you a new drive right away. After you get the new drive you return the bad one, and they credit your charge card.
When I asked Hitachi if they offered a similar program, they said no. I asked them how I was supposed to send back this internal drive full of my data and they suggested that I back it up to CDs or DVDs. This is a 500GB drive -- I would need a forklift to bring home enough CDs to back it up, and my entire small business would grind to a halt while I waited for the replacement. Yeah, I could transfer it all over to an external drive, but...
Of course none of this is a knock about Amazon, which continues to offer superb customer service in my book.
SO... my complaint is not that the drive has gone bad -- could happen to any brand. My complaint is that Hitachi hasn't found a good way to deal with returns if things do go wrong.

Need Nostalgia? Quarter Life Vintage & Nana Have You Covered
"It's vintage" — one of the few phrases you can utter in this label-conscious world that makes you seem worldly and down-to-earth at the same time. Finding (and donning) a rad vintage piece means you have that oh-so-covetable gift of personal style, that you know how to take something old and make it look new, and, most importantly, that you can pull off a '50s taffeta gown without looking like a Mad Men extra.
Clearly, we're firm believers in the power of good vintage, and to us, every piece is like a best friend: unique, sometimes quirky, and always something we can appreciate. So, when we found out that Quarter Life Vintage was hosting a social shopping event at Nana tomorrow, we had to share. At Modern Vintage: Shop & Social, shoppers can preview Quarter Life's favorite vintage spring looks, socialize with fellow secondhand-style connoisseurs, and get a snapshot taken in your pre-worn garb for Quarter Life's "vintage appreciation" photo album. Sounds swell, right? We think so, too.
When: Wednesday, February 29, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m; RSVP here.
Where: Nana, 3068 Mount Pleasant Street NW; 202-667-6955.

"If you only read one black comedy with the brains and labyrinthine twists of Vedantic hair-splitting, make it this one....a gripping yarn." (Chicago Sun-Times)
"Unmatched life and verve." (Washington Post Book World)
"A fantastic novel." (Denver Rocky Mountain News)
"Marvelously imaginative." (The Onion)
"Another remarkable outing, an infectious blend of wit, wonder, and the bizarre presented with remarkable style. This is literary fiction for the genre fiction set, or possibly the other way around...genuinely shocking and inventive." (San Antonio Express-News)
"Kudos Barnes for another winner that is as funny as it is creepy, as thought provoking as it is entertaining." (Colorado Springs Independent)
"Barnes's second novel, a compelling supernatural thriller, shows that his impressive debut, The Somnambulist, was no fluke. …Thanks to Barnes's evocative prose, readers will easily suspend disbelief. Those who enjoy the grafting of fantasy elements onto contemporary urban landscapes will be more than satisfied." (Publishers Weekly (starred review))
"Nothing about Barnes's follow-up to The Somnabulist is predictable....The grotesque fantasy world is a riot." (mX Brisbane (Australia))
"Strange, outrageous, and wonderful … There is much that is strange, magical, and darkly hilarious about this book … An original and monumentally inventive piece of work by a writer still in his 20s. Barnes seems to leave himself room for a sequela consummation devoutly to be wished." (Washington Post)
"Old school entertainment in the penny-dreadful tradition that almost succeeds in being as sublime as it is ridiculous." (Entertainment Weekly)
"A comic extravaganza, deftly plotted, fiendishly clever, and wonderfully funny. Jonathan Barnes combines a love of Victorian absurdity worthy of Edward Gorey with the surrealistic invention of a London-obsessed Garcia Marquez. This parody penny-dreadful is one of the classiest entertainments I've read in a long, long time." (Christopher Bram, author of Exiles in America)
"Macabre wit and stylistic panache. Parliament should immediately pass a law requiring Barnes to write a sequel." (James Morrow, author of The Last Witchfinder and The Philosopher's Apprentice)
"Magical, dark, beautifully oddand utterly compellingthis is an astonishing debut." (Michael Marshall, author of The Intruders)
"Sneaky, cheeky, and dark in the best possible way, Jonathan Barnes' massively entertaining The Somnambulist manages to make the familiar daringly unfamiliar. I enjoyed the heck out of this novel." (Jeff Vandermeer)
"The best fantasy novel of the year." (Rocky Mountain News)
"A wonderfully original concoction of grotesque humour and sparkling prose." (The Guardian)
"This promising debut subverts its 19th-century predecessors amusingly. Inventive and often witty. A cabinet crammed with curiosities." (The Observer)
"A comic extravaganza, deftly plotted, fiendishly clever, and wonderfully funny. . . . One of the classiest entertainments I've read." (Christopher Bram, author of Exiles in America)
From the Back Cover
In an earlier century, Queen Victoria made a Faustian bargain, signing London and all its souls away to a nefarious, inhuman entity. Now, generations later, the bill has finally come due. . . .
Jonathan Barnes caused a considerable splash in the literary pool when he dove in with his head-spinning debut, The Somnambulist, a novel of the truly odd and exceptional that the Washington Post called "strange, magical, and darkly hilarious . . . an original and monumental piece of work" and Denver's Rocky Mountain News dubbed "the best fantasy novel of the year." In his second endeavor, the acclaimed author returns us to a strikingly similar world—albeit at a different time—ushering fortunate readers into his latest breathtaking cabinet of curiosities.
Henry Lamb, an amiable and anonymous file clerk, pushes paper in the Storage and Record Retrieval section of the Civil Service Archive Unit. His life has always been quiet and unremarkable—until the day he learns that he's expected to assume the covert responsibilities of his universally despised grandfather, now lying comatose in the hospital.
Summoned to the gargantuan Ferris wheel known as the London Eye, Henry receives his orders from Dedlock, a gilled and wrinkled old gentleman eternally floating in a pool of amniotic fluid. London, it seems, is at war, resisting an apocalyptic fate foisted upon it by a long-dead queen. A shadowy organisation known (to very few) as the Directorate wishes to recruit Henry to the cause. All he has to do is find "the girl" and save the world from the monster Leviathan, who can already taste the succulent metropolis that will soon be his to devour. Simple enough.
But there are formidable enemies lining up to oppose Henry, all gathering in and around the royal family. His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Arthur Aelfric Vortigern Windsor—the sniveling, overbored, underappreciated sole heir to the British throne—has been shaken from his resentful malaise by grisly, seductive visions of unrestrained power . . . and by an extremely potent narcotic called ampersand. And an unspeakable evil lurks in the cellar of 10 Downing Street: the twin, serial-slaying schoolboy nightmares, the Domino Men—so-called for their hideous desire and terrifying ability to topple every towering edifice in the city, one after the other . . . just for a giggle.See all Product Description

But there's a far worse threat to England's capital in the sequel, "The Domino Men." Barnes switches over to the current day events (with a little strategic name-shuffling) in an increasingly creepy plot, full of monstrous interlopers, Faustian pacts, and an ordinary man caught in the middle of chaos.
When his grandfather has a stroke, Henry Lamb finds himself drafted into the Directorate in granddad's place -- a tiny, powerful group ruled by an ancient man in an amniotic tank.
They reveal that there has been a silent civil war in Great Britain since 1857, and that the key to winning that war (and saving London) is a mysterious woman named Estella. When his grandfather's house is firebombed (along with Estella's whereabouts), the Directorate takes drastic steps: they send Lamb to meet the Domino Men, a pair of gleefully psychotic twins with superhuman powers.
The war comes to a head as the Directorate's presence disrupts everything Henry knows and loves, and unleashes the Domino Men on London. But even that might not be enough to stop the horror that is coming -- and Henry Lamb may be made the unwilling sacrifice that can stop it.
And throughout the story, Lamb's frantic narrative is usurped by another presence, which tells the story of the spoiled, fusty Prince Arthur Windsor (read: Prince Charles, complete with a suitably glamorous "Laetitia"). A malevolent man named Streator tells him of the horrific pact Queen Victoria made with an otherworldly monstrosity named "Leviathan"... and Prince Arthur discovers just how terrifying it is.Read more ›

Conscripted into this secret war is our protagonist, the aptly named Henry Lamb. Henry is a file clerk at the Civil Service Archive Unit. Shortly after his grandfather falls into a sudden coma, strange things begin to happen in Henry's life--such as his work transfer to the Directorate and his new (and very welcome) relationship with his landlady. Slowly at first, but eventually with greater and greater understanding, Henry comes to realize that everything he knows about the world and even about himself is now called into doubt. It is all much stranger and scarier than he previously believed.
Henry is writing his story for posterity from some point in the future. Right from the opening, Henry tells us that "time is now very short for me." About 100 pages in, suddenly the text becomes italicized, and a new narrator is telling a concurrent story. That is the story of the heir to the British throne, Prince Arthur Windsor. Arthur has his faults and weaknesses, and is being preyed upon by the mysterious Mr.Streater--a character with dialog so distinctive that I could literally hear his voice in my head. Arthur and Henry's stories fight for prominence through the rest of the novel, the struggle itself supposedly an indicator of Henry's eventual fate.
The Domino Men is rife with foreshadowing, but Jonathan Barnes has done a masterful job with the novel's construction. As I read, realizations would come to me--I am sure--exactly when Barnes intended for each epiphany to happen. Suddenly the light-bulb would snap on and I'd understand something important. And time and time again I'd flip back in the book to see all the exactingly placed clues. They were all there. Sometimes when I finally "got it" everything would be so right and so obvious, but all revelations came in their own time. Aside from the well-timed epiphanies, there were more than a few twists that managed to take me completely by surprise. By the end, I was extremely satisfied with all the major questions having been wrapped up, while still leaving a bit of room for a sequel--though I really don't believe that one is necessary.
On the subject of sequels, I had absolutely no clue The Domino Men was a sequel to The Somnambulist. I remembered being interested in reading The Somnambulist when it was first released, but I never got around to it. (I definitely will now.) The Domino Men was so deftly plotted however, that if I missed anything important by not reading the first book (set more than a century prior), it's not at all obvious to me.
The book is well-written, in a distinctly British style. The vocabulary alone is a joy to read, and though some turn their noses down at genre fiction, the use of language here is quite wonderful. Many times I paused to linger over a turn of phrase or sentence. There is a lot of humor that buoys the story as well. My biggest criticism, and the reason for the loss of one star, is that I believe that the novel could have been shorter. It dragged a bit in the middle and through the end. I'd find myself very caught up in what certainly felt like a dénouement, and I'd find myself thinking, "There's another 150 pages? No, not possible!" The book was never boring, but I do think it could have been slightly condensed.
I'm extremely grateful to have discovered this young author at this time. I am very much looking forward to now reading the first part of this tale, and will likewise be very interested in seeing where Mr. Barnes goes next. This novel is highly recommended for fans of Neil Gaiman and other writers of contemporary fantasy.
Barnes populates his London with all manner of human (and demi-human) oddities, and The Domino Men is every bit as filled with chaotic beings who seem just at the threshold of losing control, just past that threshold, or so far gone we have no idea what doorways they have traversed (nor would we want to). His writing is like a smooth bit of drinking chocolate or an after dinner cognac: It slips right down and warms the spirit, but one suspects that an overdose might leave a bad result.
The Domino Men, Hawker and Boon, Boon and Hawker, those frightful, cartoonishly demonic daguerreotypes of Angus from AC/DC, replete with school uniforms and reeking of a hell only Clive Barker might want to visit, form a small centerpiece de resistance around which whirls the crisis the throes of which London has supposedly been in since Victoria's time: The war between "The Directorate" and the House of Windsor. No good can come of the Domino Men, and it certainly doesn't.
As in his first book, Barnes masterfully creates characters whose humanity is as touching for its frailties and failings as it is wrung out by their heroic and anti-heroic abilities. Beautifully styled prose, intricate and complex dialogue with plenty of British sardonic wit and humor, and a genuinely compelling pathos, moves the narrative forward. As we walk, drugged as it were by Barnes's verbal talents, we encounter the problem of the unreliable narrator, and we must at times wrench our sentiments free of their inclinations to consider just what the author is doing to us here.
Unlike The Somnambulist, The Domino Men has a satisfying (euphemistically so) ending. The book, hard to categorize but perhaps best called Steampunk Conspiracy Opera, gets into your blood, grabs hold of your nerves and keeps you turning the pages even when it would be nicer not to (oh, how the characters suffer, and in so many ways).
In the end, satisfied, I found it a relief to finish this beast of a book. It is a verbal trompe l'oeil, because as you read it, you become lost in it, and I found its heavy character and spirit toll weighed down my emotional perspective even as its brilliance buoyed up my imagination. A bit like something one might find in the library of Mephistopheles: Goes down easy, but grabs hold once its in.
Ware the ampersand!
At the end of "Somnambulist", London was in ruins at the end of Queen Victoria's reign. This book picks up the story in present-day London, as the opposing forces of the epic struggle have used the intervening decades to restore their powers, so badly depleted in the previous battle.
This time, a milquetoast file clerk is the fulcrum of the Directorate's strategy, as well as bringing into play those two anarchic demons - Hawkins and Boon (the Domino Men) - who sowed so much destruction at the end of the last book.
Told in modern dialect (as opposed to the Victorian lingo of the previous work), all the verve, panache, and devilishly clever twists of the original continue in this sequel. Rich characterizations (the Domino Men are an absolute hoot!), tight plotting, and vivid scenery will keep you hooked from first page to last.
In many ways this book reminds me of Swift's "Gulliver's Travels": using dark satire to lampoon the current socio-political climate.
If you liked "The Somnambulist", you'll love "The Domino Men".
Nevertheless, the book stands wonderfully on its own, and will no-doubt go on to influence other authors based on its own wonky merits. Barnes's London is a vibrant, seething presence, and it's peopled with an array of characters both familiar and enjoyably offbeat. There are multiple narrators (sort of), Lurking Horrors, Secret Histories and Terrible Dooms. All-told, a delirious and compelling read.
Whether or not you will enjoy this fantasy depends on why you read this genre in the first place. This is a list of items that I found disappointing:
* The hero, Henry Lamb is a likeable but bumbling London file clerk. He loves his grandfather, is loyal to his unlovable mother, and is hopelessly enamoured of his young, pretty landlady. He is dumped into the secret war between the House of Windsor and the Directorate (supposedly the defenders of London) and is soon way over his head in mayhem and sinister childhood reminiscences. I was cheering for him both in his love life and in his fight against the evil, remorseless supermen that dominate both sides of the war. But through the latter part of the book, the author is busy sneering at Henry, using the third-person omniscient voice. Then he crucifies Henry at the end of the book. I ended up with the feeling that the author was laughing at his readers--setting us up to take a fall along with the hapless, sacrificial Lamb.
* Speaking of unlovable mothers, Queen Elizabeth II and her relationship with the heir-apparent is depicted with absolute savagery. Only one woman comes off with dignity in this book, and she suffers a ghastly death.
* This book couldn't decide whether it was a fantasy or a Swiftian satire on the swinish human condition. It was an unsettling mixture.
If you enjoyed "Gulliver's Travels," are anti-Royalist, and sneer at happy endings as the stuff of mass market, Robert-Jordan-type fantasies, you might actually like "The Domino Men." I was force-fed Swift and hated every minute of it, am a closet-Royalist, and demand some sort of catharsis at the end of my fantasies, so this book was not for me.

From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Roth's brilliant and disconcerting new novel plumbs the depths of the early Cold War–era male libido, burdened as it is with sexual myths and a consciousness overloaded with vivid images of impending death, either by the bomb or in Korea. At least this is the way things appear to narrator Marcus Messner, the 19-year-old son of a Newark kosher butcher. Perhaps because Marcus's dad saw his two brothers' only sons die in WWII, he becomes an overprotective paranoid when Marcus turns 18, prompting Marcus to flee to Winesburg College in Ohio. Though the distance helps, Marcus, too, is haunted by the idea that flunking out of college means going to Korea. His first date in Winesburg is with doctor's daughter Olivia Hutton, who would appear to embody the beautiful normality Marcus seeks, but, instead, she destroys Marcus's sense of normal by surprising him after dinner with her carnal prowess. Slightly unhinged by this stroke of fortune, he at first shuns her, then pesters her with letters and finally has a brief but nonpenetrative affair with her. Olivia, he discovers, is psychologically fragile and bears scars from a suicide attempt—a mark Marcus's mother zeroes in on when she meets the girl for the first and last time. Between promising his mother to drop her and longing for her, Marcus goes through a common enough existential crisis, exacerbated by run-ins with the school administration over trivial matters that quickly become more serious.... The terrible sadness of Marcus's life is rendered palpable by Roth's fierce grasp on the psychology of this butcher's boy, down to his bought-for-Winesburg wardrobe. It's a melancholy triumph and a cogent reflection on society in a time of war. (Sept.)

"In Indignation [Roth's] power and intensity seem undiminished . . . Of all Roth's recent novels, it ventures farthest into the unknowable. In his unshowy way, with all his quotidian specificity and merciless skepticism, Roth is attempting to storm heaven–an endeavor all the more desperately daring because he seems dead certain it's not there." –David Gates, The New York Times Book Review
"A triumph." –USA Today
"It is Roth's virtuoso skill to couple Marcus's companionable pleasure in part-time butchering with his nightmare that the knives he wields so dexterously will be used on himself." –The Boston Globe
"As always, the prose is well built– sinewy and graceful–and, as always, the wit is as sharp as a German knife. There are simply no novels by Roth in which you cannot detect the hand of a master." – O, The Oprah Magazine
"Terrific . . . there's a lovely perplexedness to the writing here." –GQ
"He is a master. And the short form serves the story: The shocking rush from this book comes from watching Roth expertly and quickly build up to a half-dozen final pages that absolutely deliver the kill." –Entertainment Weekly
"The interplay between a life just begun and ended, impulse and reflection, college high jinks and eternity is what makes it resonate." – People, 4 out of 4 stars
"Of how many writers can it be said that they're still producing some of their best work well into their 70s? With [Indignation], his 24th novel, Philip Roth proves beyond any dispute that he deserves to be counted in that select group." –BookPage
"Mr. Roth is a master magician who can make the same old rabbits do new tricks." –The New York Sun
"Mesmerizing . . . Philip Roth's intrepid novel of self-revelation demands to be read in one sitting. It's that good. It's that audacious. It's that compelling." –Seattle Times
"Roth, blending the bawdy exuberance of his early period and the disenchantment of his recent work, demonstrates with subtle mastery, the 'incomprehensible way one's most banal, incidental, even comical choices achieve the most disproportionate result'." –The New Yorker
"As sharply honed as one of those butcher-shop knives that haunt Marcus's dreams . . . Hard to forget." –Newsweek
"A magnificent display of writerly talent: a lean, powerful novel with bold characters who command attention, scenes of impressive dramatic interest and comic vitality, language that blasts the reader's cozy complacency . . . and a theme that swells imperceptibly from a murmur to a satisfying roar . . . Read Indignation–read it with a ear for the naked power of Philip Roth at full tilt." –The New York Observer
"Copies of Indignation, Philip Roth's ferocious little tale, ought to be handed out on college campuses along with condoms and tetanus shots . . . Here's a novel to be witnessed as an explosion from an author still angry enough to burn with adolescent rage and wise enough to understand how self-destructive that rage can be." –Washington Post Book World
"Does anybody else writing prose today sustain a conversation with the reader as beautifully as Roth, with his whirlwind of shouts, whispers, riffs and exposition?. . . . Roth returns with 'Indignation' and Virtuosity." –Oscar Villalon, Books We Like, NPR
"Indignation is a glorious act of chutzpah on the part of arguably the most fearless American novelist working today." –Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"It's that final twist of the knife that makes the book so powerful, and leaves you feeling unstrung when you put it down." –Bloomberg News
"Roth balances the darkness with sharp, comic irony . . . In Indignation, Roth has reached back to Newark to breath new life into all the old obsessions." –Associated Press
"Written in elegant, economical prose. . . . intensely psychological. . . . utterly engrossing." –Times Literary Supplement (London)
"A late masterpiece. . . . Indignation is Philip Roth's best novel since The Counterlife . . . Intricately wrought, passionate and fascinating." –Financial Times (London)

The ending caught me by surprise--and the sheer irony of it all reminded me of life itself--no matter what happens, or what we do, life just marches on... Sometimes in the way we least expect it.
Great book, would certainly recommend.
Marcus Messner announces on page 54 that he is dead (this is no great spoiler, believe me.) The dead narrator is a time-honored narrative strategy in film noir (see Sunset Boulevard (Special Collector's Edition) and the novels of Jim Thompson, especially Savage Night) and it's interesting to see how Roth uses it. Although there may be an alternative explanation for Marcus' state; check the chapter titles. As he tells his story we learn how he came to die. Practically driven out of his home by his loving but suddenly paranoid kosher butcher father, he flees to go to college in the same town as Sherwood Anderson's Winesburg, Ohio (Signet Classics). The smart but inexperienced boy finds himself way over his head. He is flummoxed by a beautiful girl he dates and is unable to tolerate either a flamboyant gay roommate or the strictly conservative college administration with its Christian affiliation. Instead of laughing it off and making the best of it, as apparently Roth in real life was able to at Bucknell, Marcus goes to war with his surroundings. His private mantra becomes the Chinese national anthem he learned in grade school with its refrain "indignation, arise!" And in a hideous irony it is the Chinese army that butchers Marcus on a hill in Korea some months later.
This is a remarkable book: a terrible tragedy with farce, a funny book where the laughs catch in your throat. It once again displays Roth's famous psychological toughness; no one is let off the hook here. And Roth plays fair; although he displays what is coming to be his obvious disdain for religion of all kinds, he shows Marcus playing a role in his own destruction through the kid's own intolerance and pride. Although the president of the college is a Republican political hack (as Roth sees it), the author lets him deliver the theme of the novel in a thunderous speech near the end of the book: you may try to hide from history: but like Jonah inside the whale, it will find you.

American actor best known as the man-hungry Blanche in The Golden Girls
As the insecure, man-hungry widow Blanche Devereaux, the actor Rue McClanahan, who has died aged 76, was the linchpin of the humour in the hugely successful Us television sitcom The Golden Girls, the tale of four women living together in Miami, Florida. Blanche, a southern belle, was the foil for the New York acerbity of her Italian-American friend Dorothy (Bea Arthur) and Dorothy's mother Sophia (Estelle Getty), but also played brilliantly against the middle American naivety of Betty White's Rose. When Rose wondered whether it was possible to love two men at one time, Blanche's reply was: "Set the scene. Have we been drinking?"
The Golden Girls debuted in 1985 and went straight to the top of the ratings. It ran until 1992 and resulted in three spin-offs along with a deservedly short-lived British version, Brighton Belles (1993). It was »

Chicago – Rue McClanahan, the vivacious Southern Belle from "The Golden Girls," died this morning at age 76. Her death comes just days after the passing of two other prominent figures in show business, Gary Coleman and Dennis Hopper. Earlier this year, McClanahan had suffered a minor stroke after recovering from bypass surgery, and it was a massive stroke on the morning of Thursday, June 3rd, that proved to be fatal. She was reportedly surrounded by her family when she passed at 1 a.m.
Born in Healdton, Okla., McClanahan attended the University of Tulsa before moving to New York City, where she eventually landed roles in the theatre. It was there that producer Norman Lear discovered her, and decided to cast her in an episode of "All in the Family." She then landed a recurring role on the show's popular spinoff series, "Maude," opposite Bea Arthur. Her next major »

And then there was one. Rue McClanahan, best known as "Blanche" on the eternal sitcom The Golden Girls has passed away at 76 after years of health problems. That leaves only the increasingly popular Betty White as the last Golden Girl standing, there to receive all the love we have left for these awesome women.
Rose (White) was my favorite but Blanche (McClanahan) the runner up in the laugh-generation department for me (I've always loved the saucy dames). I was just thinking about The Golden Girls yesterday because my mind was drifting to the upcoming Emmy nominations. The Emmys are often quite terrible about divvying up the goods, giving way too many prizes to the same shows and performers over the years. But in the case of The Golden Girls, the Emmy voters seem to have a very welcome and secret conspiracy to spread the wealth; All four of the women »

Reforming the International Financial System for Development covers all the relevant territory. It is by far the best overall treatment of the important implications of the reform and regulation of the financial system for economic development.
Reforming the International Financial System for Developmentby Jomo Kwame Sundaram
View All Available Formats & Editions
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
The 1944 Bretton Woods conference created new institutions for international economic governance. Though flawed, the system led to a golden age in postwar reconstruction, sustained economic growth, job creation, and postcolonial development. Yet financial liberalization since the 1970s has involved deregulation and globalization, which have exacerbated instability, rather than sustained growth. In addition, the failure of Bretton Woods to provide a reserve currency enabled the dollar to fill the void, which has contributed to periodic, massive U.S. trade deficits.
Our latest global financial crisis, in which all these weaknesses played a part, underscores how urgently we must reform the international financial system. Prepared for the G24 research program, a consortium of developing countries focused on financial issues, this volume argues that such reforms must be developmental. Chapters review historical trends in global liquidity, financial flows to emerging markets, and the food crisis, identifying the systemic flaws that contributed to the recent downturn. They challenge the effectiveness of recent policy and suggest criteria for regulatory reform, keeping in mind the different circumstances, capacities, and capabilities of various economies. Essays follow ongoing revisions in international banking standards, the improved management of international capital flows, the critical role of the World Trade Organization in liberalizing and globalizing financial services, and the need for international tax cooperation. They also propose new global banking and reserve currency arrangements.

I am saying "low volume" because it's well below its average action of 14.3 million shares, as of last check. Market players should watch for DUK to continue to trend higher as long as the stock closes above $20.77 and the volume gets at least near 14.3 million at the close.

What's holding you back from the results you want? Are you tired and sore? Hitting a wall too soon? Can't recover fast enough? Now, get ready to absolutely crush every goal. Because Beachbody Performance is taking the sports supplement industry…and turning it on its head.
Beachbody Performance is an all-in-one system of powerful supplements. They're designed to help you take on crazy challenges. Overcome monster obstacles. Cross the finish line first. How? Our cutting-edge products are formulated with key ingredients to help you have:*
When we set out to revolutionize performance nutrition, we knew we had to beat every other supplement system out there. We've done the research. We know what really works—and what doesn't. Here's why Beachbody Performance helps you achieve such tremendous results:
No gimmicky ingredients just sprinkled in to sound important, but are ineffective. Just powerful ingredients at the right amounts, shown by science to help accelerate your results.
Are you serious about pushing your limits? With Beachbody Performance,
your commitment to results... Just. Got. Real.
Before you get active, take Energize to help sharpen focus, push harder, and last longer. Because let's face it, every extra ounce of energy counts when you're looking for a winning edge. The key ingredients in Energize have been scientifically shown to help buffer lactic acid buildup, delay exercise‑related muscle fatigue, and improve performance, all to help you crush the competition with maximum intensity.*
Typical sports drinks can have too much sugar and artificial ingredients that can actually dehydrate you. And water alone doesn't effectively hydrate during training or replace what you lose through sweat. Hydrate gives you an optimal balance of carbohydrates, electrolytes, and water to quickly replenish what's lost, helping you train longer.*
Take Recover after every workout to help training exercise‑induced muscle soreness, speed muscle recovery, promote muscle growth, and improve muscle strength recovery. It maximizes the critical post‑workout window with timed‑release proteins and phytonutrients to help you recover from your training session faster—and hit the next one that much harder.*
Recharge is specially formulated to help support recovery, combat training‑induced muscle soreness, and promote new muscle growth when your body is primed to accept it—while you sleep! Slow‑release protein, amino acids, and powerful phytonutrients help reduce muscle breakdown, help promote lean‑muscle synthesis, and reduce training‑induced muscle soreness.*
Take Creatine for extra strength that can turn your last rep into the second or third last rep. It's scientifically shown to help boost muscle strength and power, improve high‑intensity performance, and enhance the effects of resistance training. This is the purest, most tested, and most effective form of creatine in the world.*
Beachbody Performance supplements are guaranteed to give you the competitive edge you're looking for. So try them for 30 days. If you don't experience better energy, stamina, strength, focus, and recovery, simply send them back within 30 days for a full refund of the purchase price (less s&h), no questions asked.

I've recently discovered the amazingness of podcasts. I've been listening to them while doing dishes, cleaning house, and driving home from work. Seriously, my phone can't even handle it. I want ALL THE PODCASTS.
Anyways, one of my recent obsessions is the The Dinner Party Download . This is the best way to spend an hour in the car, on the train, doing your dishes, etc. Seriously.
From the site, "Welcome to The Dinner Party Download, a fast and funny hour of culture, food and conversation: "public radio's arts & leisure section." In every episode you'll learn a joke… bone up on an odd bit of history and then wash it down with a themed cocktail recipe… meet artists of note (for instance Willie Nelson, Venus Williams and Steve Martin)… have your burning etiquette questions answered by the likes of Dick Cavett or Henry Rollins… savor an emerging food trend… and hear your new favorite song."
Okay, so here is the deal. They start every episode with an ice breaker (usually told by an interesting popular figure), move on to a bit of history, teach a cocktail that goes with that bit of history, and so much more. After an episode you'll be completely prepped for all the necessary small talk that comes up at a dinner party.
You can find the download on the above website and on through the Apple Podcast search!
Oooh, I think I'm going to have to check this one out! I find the idea of podcasts overwhelming, but once I find one I like, I'm hooked.
Love this podcast!!!!
I'm excited to check this out!
I admittedly have never been able to get into podcasts, but I think it's because I haven't come across any that really hold my interest yet. This one sounds SO fun, though. Thanks for the tip!
I love listening to podcasts, especially at work! I downloaded this one to start listening to today, thanks for the recommendation!
