Clinton: Obama should honor commitment on keeping health plans
Posted by
CNN White House Producer Kevin Liptak
Updated 11/12/2013 at 2:19pm ET
(CNN) President Barack Obama has already apologized to Americans who lost their health plans under the Affordable Care Act. Now Bill Clinton is calling on his fellow Democrat to find a way to uphold an earlier vow that those who like their insurance plans can keep them.
"I personally believe, even if it takes a change in the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they've got," Clinton said during an interview with the website OZY.com .

Even hard core liberals are seeing the disaster that is would be Dictator Obama included the fake Pastor Jonah. His ghettoish Blacks will be the last to leave him, despite the fact that they were much better off under Bush.
Only would be gangsta Wise American remains loyal to Obama.

Jay Carney's going to spontaneously combust any day now:
White House press secretary Jay Carney responded to former President Bill Clintons assertion that the Obama administration should honor the commitment to ensure no one loses their current health insurance plan under the Affordable Care Act.
Asked later whether Obama would be open to changing the law, Carney was vague.
There are a range of options he said.We havent announced any potential fixes or moves to address this problem.
#5 Nov 12, 2013
and had Bush said that, Obama would by executive order end all healthcare insurance.
Clintoon is propping up his screeching windbag he no longer sleeps with, but share name for political purpose.
Bill wants time alone in the Oval office with hot interns this time.

Look for the Hildebeast herself to start giving interviews echoing her business partner's views. They know the time is right for them to put real distance between themselves and Barry.

Me too.
I met Boomer and his lovely wife at the Polaris mall a few years back, for lunch. We had a great time. There were others also.
He is a riot!!!!!

I honestly don't see Obama finishing his term.
how can the greatest nation on earth be run by an affirmative action goofball, if we ever want to be taken seriously in summits like G20 ever again?
The entire worlds leaders have busted a gut laughing. even basher asshat.
Putin makes obama crap himself. And the German Chancellor a woman, may well punch him out next time she see's him.
I hope it is on TV, and I bet Obama can't move like Bush when the shoes are flying.

Blacks re-elected Marion Berry after he served time in prison for cocaine.
Blacks re-elected both Maxine Waters and Charley Rangel after multiple major ethics violations.
Blacks don't hold their leaders to any moral standards whatsoever (Whites are ALWAYS blamed for Black corruption in incompetence) which is the reason that Black Majority Rule always results in chaos e.g., Papa Doc in Haiti; Idi Amim in Uganda ditto Somalia and Sudan).
Blacks are always their own worst enemies.

I don't see impeachment. This gutless RINO House leadership would never entertain the thought.
What I could see is the real powers that be coming to the realization that their puppet is damaging their plans to the point of failure and handing him a letter of resignation to sign and installing Cankles Clinton as the new VP, all revved up for the 2016 campaign.
#12 Nov 12, 2013
how can the greatest nation on earth be run by an affirmative action goofball
White Guilt combined with Black Rage, every post from Wise American makes it sound like he just finished picking cotton in the fields, even though slavery ended hundreds of years ago. He is still bitter about a long forgotten past and White Liberals are still consumed with guilt and run the media and universities that indoctrinate our children.
#13 Nov 12, 2013
I think impeachment proceedings would be a great idea. That's exactly what the people in this country want, more Tea Party lunacy.

I just love the hand-wringing prohesying of disgruntled right wingers. you all are a comedy force amongst yourselves. Of course Clinton is posturing for Hillary's sake. Can't you smell that???There are positive stories regarding Obamacare that you're not even acknowledging (yet!) and thye'll come out, hopefully sooner than later. when people really are able to determine that they're gonna get better plans than what the healthcare industry is trying to SCARE you into believing right now, you'll see the turnaround. You Rethugs have been on the losing side of history for quite some time now...don't you get tired of losing out ???? Better yet, why don't you take your advise circa 1980s AMERICA - Love it or Leave It!!! I'm thinking with all your self-aggrandizement that you'd be heading off to Canada or Mexico or somehwere....isn't that what oyu wanted for everyone protesting Ray-gun????

I thought President Obama's purpose all along was to destroy America! But if the 'real powers' want to remove him then that means he is preventing America's destruction. It figures a traitorous scumbag such as yourself would want him out of the way.

I just ate at the Roger Smith Hotel and they have a new Menu! I ordered the Chicken Sandwich, which I thought would be pretty standard, so I didn't look at what was included, but I was pleasantly surprised by the portobello mushrooms on top of the Chicken. Great location just north of Grand Central! Definitely will go back, DELICIOUS!!! WELL DONE ROGER SMITH

It's publication day for my friend Mary Tod! Her third historical novel Time and Regret is available today. When Grace Hansen finds a box belonging to her beloved grandfather, she has no idea it holds the key to his past—and to long buried secrets. In the box are his World…

This is an easy, quick dinner that I like to make for my 3 year old! I created this bar recipe because my child loves meatballs and tomato sauce, but hates pasta. This takes less time than making individual meatballs and makes less mess when he eats! Instead of sloppy sauce spilling everywhere, these bars can be cut into tiny bite size squares that you can spear with a fork. I also discovered that the flavor of the tomatoes and cheese is so strong, you can't even taste the handful of fresh spinach that I snuck into the topping :)
For the base layer:
1 lb ground beef
2 eggs, slightly beaten
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup gluten free bread crumbs (I make my own in the food processor)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 Tablespoon chopped garlic
1 Tablespoon dried minced onions (you can use fresh if you saute them first)
1 tsp dried parsley
For the topping:
14 oz tomato paste (I like the tomato paste in glass jars available at Wholefoods...no cans/BPA)
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp chopped garlic
Large handful of fresh baby spinach leaves (about 30-40)
1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a medium sized bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the base layer except for the beef. You can also use a stand mixer for this part....mix on low speed. When it is very well mixed, add in the beef and stir until everything is well mixed.
3. Spread the meat mixture into a greased casserole dish, about 8"x12". Note: You can also make this in a glass pie dish and cut it into wedges...it tastes exactly the same, but ends up slightly thicker than with the larger dish.
4. In a small bowl, mix all of the ingredients for the topping layer except for the fresh spinach. Next pull all of the stems off of your spinach. Stack them tightly in your hand (see photo above) and using kitchen scissors, cut the spinach into tiny pieces/strips over the bowl of tomato mixture. Stir in the spinach pieces until they are completely mixed in.
5. Spread the tomato topping over the beef layer using a rubber spatula. Bake for 40-45 minutes.
Notes: My son LOVES this meal because its tasty! I love that he is eating beef, cheese, tomatoes, onions, garlic and SPINACH, without making too much of a mess in my kitchen. This stores very well covered in the fridge for a few days...and I always take the leftovers and freeze them in individual sized portions in zip-loc bags. Defrost overnight in the fridge...then microwave to reheat.

penitentiary brew
genuflecting more than usual lately
been at the bottom of too many hills
and eaten a lot of strangers' pills
I discovered the dark self
emptying cupboards and pantry shelves
and stealing away into the thick Maine woods again
at one a.m.
WIP - a time traveler poemA long time ago I frozeWIP - a time traveler poem by ignia
like an insect,
a praying mantis mantled
with a curse, and watched
the dirty sun, his worst eye-catcher.
For hours now he's been still as gold and
glass, dusty as chin-height china:
thinking of his father and the fall
of the antebellum oak.
Memory of it's sifted as if ground down
summer-soft. He used to curse,
swearing to injure time herself.
To see him now calls them in like a hanging.
All the smallest doubts, knuckle-rough
like ravens with their throaty shouts:
please us
and hold us down.
Lately I've been having dreamsLately I've been having dreams:Lately I've been having dreams by ignia
living things, crashing again and again,
stronger and weaker,
baring teeth and pepper-tongued
rage. You flipped the page
just before I was through.
Were it up to you,
my heart would be shot through with holes
like the needles of the past were all at once
Your sweat taunts me, sticks your shirt
to your spine, makes your
knees wet, harrows me.
Somewhere above, five hawks
cycled through today on a
wheel from the west.
Tell me I haven't laughed in days.
I want to feel incredulous again,
and touched with sin, and
nearly home,
but you know well the darkness
of a Montana night.
Drive to meet me at the mouth.
We can watch the elk
merge their shadows with the trees,
know peace in a truck bed, and sleep
until the dawn birds chide us awake.

Lot to live up to but good luck to new people.
I dine at Are You Being Served? regularly. I love the friendly, welcoming atmosphere and how it makes you feel at home. The staff is just wonderful and the food is tasty. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a bit to eat in Northampton, well it is one of my favorite places.
Myself and friends frequently visit this cafe and we absolutely adore it.

Mid-week mail call:
Kurt C. from Seattle wants to know if I think the Chiefs should give up on second-year quarterback Ricky Stanzi.
Bill Williamson: No, it is his first season in offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's system; he deserves another. Now, if Stanzi, a fifth-round pick last season, can't make the jump to being the backup next year, the Chiefs might want to cut ties with him at that point.
Mike from Colorado Springs, Colo., wants to know if I think Caleb Hanie is worth keeping in Denver.
BW: It depends if the team sees any value in him. I'd probably pick up another veteran in the coming days and help to continue to develop rookie Brock Osweiler this year. I was never big on Hanie. I think bringing along Osweiler is the way to go.
Eric from Fresno, Calif., wants to know if I think Vincent Brown can help the Chargers this season.
BW: Well, it depends on if he has a clean recovery from the broken ankle he suffered in the second preseason game. If there are no setbacks, I think we could see Brown help in the second half. He'd need some time to shake off the rust, but this is a player who was very polished this summer and getting him back for the stretch run would help the Chargers.

Angels "looking at" rotation (lineups)
With off days each of the next two Mondays, the Angels have the option of skipping one of their starting pitchers at least once -- with struggling sinkerballer Joel Pineiro the most obvious candidate. Angels manager Mike Scioscia has also expressed a desire to monitor the innings/workload of 21-year-old rookie Tyler Chatwood.
"We're going to look at some things," Scioscia said in one of his stock non-answers. "Right now, it's as valuable to every guy to give them the extra day (between starts) as it is to skip somebody."
That would seem to indicate the Angels are not ready to drop Pineiro from the rotation despite his recent struggles. Pineiro has been eminently hittable in his past four starts, allowing 20 runs on 32 hits and six walks in only 16 innings.
After being knocked out in the fourth inning of his start in Detroit on Thursday, Pineiro dismissed any physical issues as an explanation for his string of poor performances.
"The way JP pitched -- obviously we're looking at that," Scioscia said of the possibility of skipping Pineiro in the rotation. "We have confidence he's going to work that out. But we'll look closely at it (skipping his turn)."
Meanwhile, the Tigers have promoted their top-rated prospect, right-hander Jacob Turner, from Double-A and he will make his major-league debut today. Turner, 20, was the Tigers' first-round draft pick (ninth overall) in 2009. He was 3-5 with a 3.48 ERA and 90 strikeouts in 113 2/3 innings pitched at Double-A Erie this season.

There are two camps in the British progressive rock scene. In one corner are those unashamedly retro bands that seek to recreate the sounds of the halcyon days of the early 70s before the dark ages of punk. In the other corner stand those bands who combine the spirit of that era with a more streamlined, modern sound. Steve Wilson's Porcupine Tree are definitely in the latter camp.
I read a review of Deadwing in The Times (London) that described Porcupine Tree as "now sounding like a regular indie band," which made me fear the worst, as the last thing Britain needs is yet another generic indie band. But my fears proved unfounded; this album is far more metal than indie.
Deadwing's predecessor, "In Absentia" was notably heavier than earlier PT albums, and this one takes things still further in that direction. Wilson's work with Scandinavian death-metallers Opeth has rubbed off; indeed, Opeth's Mikael Akerfeldt contributes some guitar, as does King Crimson's Adrian Belew. But it's not all thrashing guitar riffs; there are also some decidedly non-metal ballads and plenty of Floydian textures to offset the heavier parts.
The nine-minute opening title track starts as the band means to go on, with its powerful guitar riff and driving bass line. The instrumental breaks contrast Wilson's liquid guitar solo with guest player Adrian Belew's distinctive angular style. The production is clean and crisp, as you'd expect from Steven Wilson. High spot of the album is the kaleidoscopic 12-minute epic "Arriving Somewhere (but not here)," which manages to go through all the musical styles of the album in a single track; spacey atmospheric intro, gentle ballad building to the fluid guitar solo, then a thrashing death-metal segment, before it all drops away for an acoustic flamenco solo.
The heaviest track is the US single, "Shallow," with its Zeppelin-style riff. The most indie-sounding songs are probably the excellent bass-driven "Halo," the UK single, the piano-led ballad "Lazarus," which doesn't do a lot for me, although Coldplay fans will probably love it, and "Start of Something Beautiful," with the beautiful piano solo towards the end.
Overall, this album reminds me very much of the last couple of Marillion albums; if you liked "Anoraknophobia" and "Marbles", or indeed, Porcupine Tree's own "In Absentia", I can definitely recommend "Deadwing."Powered by Sidelines

On January 10, Judge Shira A. Scheindlin of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York dismissed a lawsuit brought by U.S. Bank National Association as trustee for Lehman XS Trust, Series 2006-4N against GreenPoint Mortgage Funding, Inc. Judge Scheindlin held that the Trustee's claims for alleged breach of representations and warranties by GreenPoint were barred by the six-year statute of limitations governing contract claims. Relying on recent authority from the Supreme Court of the State of New York Appellate Division, First Department, the court held that claims subject to cure or repurchase requirements accrue at the time of the breach and not at the time of the demand to cure or repurchase. The Court held that the trustee's claims were untimely because they were filed more than six years from the agreement at issue. Opinion.
On January 14, Judge Katherine B. Forrest of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York denied a motion for judgment on the pleadings in an action brought by the Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee for GE-WMC Mortgage Securities Trust 2006-1 against GE Mortgage and WMC Mortgage. Judge Forrest rejected the argument that, as a matter of law, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (PSA) limited the Trustee's remedies for breaches of representations and warranties to WMC Mortgage only, because this interpretation conflicted with the contemporaneous agreements signed between the parties as well as the PSA itself. Instead, the Court held that the PSA was ambiguous regarding which entities the Trustee could assert claims against, and accordingly the Trustee's action against GE Mortgage was not barred by the agreement.

Richie McCaw did a great job of slowing down ball on his return to Test rugby, but instead of being praised, he's been branded a cheat.
Richie McCaw made an impressive return to international rugby on Saturday in his side's crushing victory over Australia.
The All Blacks captain had a big effect on the game, getting to the breakdown first and causing chaos in an attempt to steal ball on the ground.
Christian Lealiifano kept the Wallabies in the hunt with four first-half penalties in the 29-47 defeat in the Rugby Championship opener in Sydney, but the hosts feel aggrieved over what they believe were deliberate infringements at the breakdown.
"All those penalties were in the same part of the field. As soon as we got in their half, it was a penalty," complained Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie.
"So you're having a shot at goal and then – guess what? – you're receiving a kick-off again and you're back playing in your own half.
"We didn't spend a lot of time playing much rugby. It was a penalty, bang, yeah we kicked it and we got three points for it, but we were never able to play much.
"You'd like to get a bit more momentum, but we didn't get that."
Australian captain James Horwill pleaded that referee Craig Joubert take sterner action and use his cards for repeat offences, but the South African didn't oblige.
"They were for the same thing in the same spot, so I was just letting him know that they were building up and that there was a bit of a pattern to it," Horwill said.
"When we got down there holding the ball, there were infringements made and that's for his call to be made."
McKenzie said such infringements have become tactical and officials need to consider using yellow cards more often.
"You miss the opportunity to attack and play in front of the goal posts," he said.
"If they give away penalties, then yellow cards come in because it becomes repeated infringements.
"It's one of those issues. It's been there all year. So it's up to the referees about when they make those decisions."

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Cut the heads of garlic in half horizontally, being careful that the cloves remain intact. Season the cut surfaces with the salt and drizzle on the olive oil. Reassemble the heads, set them in a small roasting pan and bake until the cloves are soft and golden, about 1 hour. Remove and let cool to room temperature.
2. Strain the roasted garlic through a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl; discard any skin that remains. Scrape any paste from the back of the sieve and add to the paste in the bowl. (To store, scrape the garlic paste into a glass jar, cover the surface with olive oil and refrigerate.)

Having read lots of Kay Jaybee's work, including Quick Kink 1 and The Collector, I was interested to see how her fab short story writing skills would translate to a longer piece. The answer? Fabulously.
The Perfect Submissive (available only on the Kindle) is set in an upmarket hotel. Four of the floors are full of ordinary rooms and ordinary customers. But the fifth floor is a different story all together. For on this floor of the Fables Hotel, five specially adapted rooms wait, ready to cater for the kinky requirements of its guests.
The tale follows the story of Jess Sanders, a new booking clerk at the hotel. When she catches the eye of Laura Peters, one of the managers of Fables, her life is destined to change forever. Jess' meek attitude is the perfect addition to Mrs Peters' specialist staff on the fifth floor. All it will take is a little education.
We follow Jess' journey as she goes from unsuspecting clerk to the perfect submissive. And it's a hell of a trip. She's put through various trials so Mrs Peters can work out whether she is worthy of being promoted to the fifth floor permanently. If she makes it, she'll be expected to cater to the exclusive clientelle that pay good money to make use of those mysterious rooms. But is it what she wants? Only one way to find out…
If you've read some of Kay's work before, you'll probably be expecting a great deal of kink, so you are pre-armed. But The Perfect Submissive is more than a little spanking here and there; it's definitely not for the faint of heart. If you like your BDSM dark and full of tension, then this is the book for you.
Overall, this was a fab read. Absorbing from beginning to end with lots of delicious twists and turns, it left me wondering when the sequel is coming out!Powered by Sidelines

More People I'm Sick Unto Death Of1 Aug 2016 / Paul Epps
Is anyone else sick of paying for an ever-expanding army of bureaucrats to meddle in their lives? Or is it just me?
Is anyone else sick of paying for an ever-expanding army of bureaucrats to meddle in their lives? Or is it just me?
New poll finds 9 in 10 Native Americans aren't offended by Redskins name — The Washington Post
Man, am I sick of people who get offended on behalf of a group they don't belong to, projecting their own phony outrage on the group members and their own biases on non-group members.
In light of the poll results, non-Native American opponents of the Redskin name seem to have changed their position slightly to say that Native Americans are in fact being offended but are too dumb to realize it.
Washington Post editorial board calls on GOP to reject Trump as nominee — CBS News
"Morally, there is no other option," according to the Post.
Yes, the problem is that most of us are not as morally enlightened as the Washington Post editorial board because if we were we would think and act exactly as they do.
What a crock of shit . . .
Males over the age of 10 who lower their pants at public urinals . . .
Does anyone have a more useless job than "bracketologist" Joe Lunardi? He spends the entire college basketball season forecasting tournament seedings: this team's in, this team's out, this team's on the bubble, this team is going to be seeded number whatever . . .
Then the season ends and the actual tournament seedings are announced, making all of Joe Lunardi's work meaningless. Either the actual seedings line up closely with Joe Lunardi's predictions or they don't, but other than Joe Lunardi, who cares?
On that note, here's an article by Joe Lunardi explaining "how the selection committee got so much wrong" with this year's brackets:
The committee's performance is slipping, year over year, and it's my job to point that out when necessary. . . . what you have is a selection and bracketing process that appears to have gone off the rails.
Actually Joe, your job, if I understand it correctly, is to accurately forecast the results of the selection committee. It's not the job of the selection committee to match your predictions. And if your predictions don't match the actual selections, that doesn't indicate that the selection committee sucks, it indicates that you suck.
Michael Bloomberg decides against run for president — CNN Money
The only thing I know about Bloomberg's political career is that he banned the sale of large cups of soda in New York. Forget that I think drinking large cups of soda is one of the great pleasures of life, anyone who can't mind his own goddamn business a little better than that, anyone who considers himself entitled and qualified to tell people what to do with their lives at that kind of a micro level, should be beaten with sticks, not elected to public office.
What would he do as president, institute a national bedtime?
I spent my lunch hour listening to co-workers second guess the Panthers offensive play-calling in yesterday's Super Bowl. I don't like second-guessers, for a couple of reasons.
If you're a fussy germaphobe who refuses to eat anything with your hands, please learn to chew with your mouth closed. You're way too annoying to be around already.
Resemblance to a real person would be a coincidence.
It's not very romantic, first of all. Did Romeo and Juliet marry their best friend? Did Liz and Dick marry their best friend? Did Scott and Zelda marry their best friend? Did Rhett and Scarlett marry their best friend?
A married person has to fill so many roles already: husband/wife, parent, sex partner, wage earner, handyman, cook, mental health professional, grammar coach, etc., etc., etc. A little help on the best friend front would be a welcome breath of fresh air.
I don't know who my wife's best friend is and I don't care, as long as it's not me. Men: if you need a best friend, buy a dog.
People who "weigh in" on things rather than minding their own business . . .
People who post love letters to their spouse on Facebook:
I'm a fairly smart guy. I've done smart things and dumb things. But by far, the smartest thing I ever did was 32 years ago today: I married [wife's name]. I knew she was beautiful, smart, fun, and kind.
And pregnant. You left out "pregnant." And that she has a father with a Sicilian code of ethics who was not going to let his daughter give birth out of wedlock.
What I've learned over the years is that she is all those and so much more. My wife is loyal, strong, persistent, faithful, courageous, generous . . .
Congratulations, you married a Boy Scout!
. . . and a person of great integrity. Additionally, she's a gifted musician.
Oh come on, everyone knows that's not true. She's not even as good as me and I'm a complete phony.
At 24, I had no idea what a wonderful person I was going to spend my life with. Now at 56, I'm starting to get it . . . a little. Happy Anniversary, [wife's name]. I love you!
Who is the target audience for this stuff? If you have something to say to your wife, say it to your wife.
Additional demerits if the love letter is a mishmash of trite sentiments that could have been written by anyone about anyone.
Brain cancer patients are worse than vegetarians — meddling busybodies telling everyone else how to live their lives.
Ever since Brittany Maynard announced her intention to end her own life, brain cancer patients have been coming out of the woodwork to tell her that she has no right to do that (see here, here, here and here).
Some people don't want to die the kind of lingering death that exhausts the emotional and financial resources of their loved ones. In fact, I think most people don't, but I think most people with a terminal illness imagine themselves dying a kind of radiant death like people with terminal illnesses in movies. By the time reality sets in, the dying person is past knowing or caring.
"In paths untrodden," as Walt Whitman marvelously put it. "Escaped from the life that exhibits itself . . ." Oh, that's a plague, the life that exhibits itself, a real plague!
Who the heck is Olivia Wilde and why is there a photo all over the Internet of her breastfeeding an infant in a restaurant booth? I mean, not a surreptitious candid photo of her discreetly breastfeeding. A posed photo! In a designer dress!
(I'm not posting or linking to the photo. If you haven't already seen it, I'm sure you can find it.)
Well it's a natural function, breastfeeding — right? Yeah, but there are a number of natural functions that need not be performed in public and photographed.
The life that exhibits itself . . . what a plague indeed.
Maya Angelou received quite a few honorary doctoral degrees in her lifetime and elected for some reason to refer to herself as Dr. Maya Angelou, despite not having an earned doctoral degree and despite, to my knowledge, never attending college at all.
Many famous people are given honorary doctorates by universities but thank god they don't all go around referring to themselves as, say, Dr. Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dr. Mike Tyson, Dr. Glenn Beck, etc., etc., etc.
I'm also sick unto death of people who quote insipid thoughts from Maya Angelou as profundities, particularly if they refer to her as Dr. Maya Angelou when doing so.
People who say "I don't take myself too seriously."
Let people make up their own minds about whether you take yourself too seriously. If you think anyone's interested in your reflective insights about yourself, then you take yourself too seriously.
I am sick unto death of this guy. I just read a sentence from his speech:
You beat cancer by how you live, why you live, and in the manner in which you live.
Ugh. Sickening. Millions of people fighting cancer and he's the one guy who's figured out how to fight it the right way.
Like a lot of people, we have an immediate family member who had cancer, and like a lot of people, she battled it bravely, quietly, with humanity and dignity, and without any expectation of receiving an award, which she didn't get. Unlike Stuart Scott, she never told anyone about all the unpleasant medical procedures she had to undergo and she never presented herself as a model for how life should be lived under difficult circumstances.

Every week, I'm more and more impressed with the B&N Review. And I swear, it's not just because our books turn up in there on a rather regular basis . . . The latest to be reviewed there is Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's Rupert.
Great piece by Christopher Byrd that opens:
Scout's honor: On a purely linguistic level, there was something about Pfeijffer's sentences with their direct, unbuttoned elegance that reminded me of Philip Roth. This comparison shimmered in my mind before I got to the third chapter of Rupert: A Confession, where an uproarious bit of mortification ties the novels lineage to Portnoy's Complaint. Let's just say here, too, is a novel for those who aren't made skittish by a torrent of testosterone. Like its predecessor, Rupert takes the form of a personal disclosure, though its end point is much darker.
This was a great week for Open Letter books, with three of our recent releases getting some nice coverage:
First up was Hannah Manshel's review of Death in Spring for The Front Table:
In English for the first time in Martha Tennent's translation, Death in Spring is about a society that finds highly elaborate ways to elude the inevitable and to conquer time. Its means are slow and insidious, ritualistic and bizarre, always teetering on the line between the real and the magical. Its members, obsessed with imprisoning themselves, pour concrete into the mouths of the dead to keep their souls from escaping. Every spring, they paint the houses pink and it's unclear whether anyone remembers why. Though the novel is propelled forward by a linear narrative, it is its characters' evasion of this diachrony that is most captivating. The book is driven by linguistic and thematic repetition, like a prose sestina in which the end words could be symbols or simply icons, aesthetic trends or markers that unfold and elaborate the path of the narrative. We see wisteria and bees, horses and butterflies, souls and prisoners weave in and out of the text, each time reappearing with a new relevance, a new level of meaning.
Christopher Byrd's review of Jerzy Pilch's The Mighty Angel in the B&N Review is also pretty fantastic:
From the opening paragraph — in which the protagonist awakens to discover a couple of Mafiosi in his room who have taken it upon themselves to act as literary agents for a female poet — to the closing paragraphs that flick away the tragic arc that's usually prefabricated for books in the end-of-the-bottle genre, Pilch teases out plenty of LOL moments from desultory situations. All told, The Mighty Angel furnishes enough Schadenfreude to stylishly blacken just about any comedic sensibility.
Becky Ferreira at L Magazine agrees:
Pilch's prose is masterful, and the bulk of The Mighty Angel evokes the same numb, floating sensation as a bottle of oadkowa Gorzka. But it's not until Jerzy haphazardly reveals facts of his grandfather's life that the naked grotesquerie of alcoholism pierces through the book's often casual and flippant wit. Though the final chapters posit a chance at redemption, it remains unclear whether Jerzy is breaking the cycle, or just trading in one vice for another. To Pilch's credit, both of Jerzy's possible paths seem unfortunate and equally likely.
And finally, Michael Orthofer is the first to weigh in on Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer's Rupert (he gave it a B+):
What's riveting about Rupert's account is his self-assuredness. Yes, he often speaks of 'Rupert' in the third person, an abstraction he's removed from — but then Rupert is, after all, the ultimate 'I am camera'. It's a fascinating split-personality on display here — and some . . . perversely fine writing. [. . .] Cleverly, artfully done, Rupert: A Confession is no pleasant read, but an oddly seductive one. Well worthwhile.
The Barnes & Noble Review continues to impress me by covering books/movies/CDs that aren't best-sellers, such as Christopher Byrd's piece on Vilnius Poker:
While reading Ricardas Gavelis's Vilnius Poker, a line from Joyce's Ulysses surfaced in my memory, "Stephen bent forward and peered at the mirror held out to him, cleft by a crooked crack, hair on end." On at least six occasions, Gavelis (1950-2002) name-checks the Irish Zeus who commemorated the capital of his homeland by besieging it with the distorting optics of his prose. What Joyce did for Dublin, Gavelis has in mind to do for the capital of Lithuania: chide it, gossip about it, and bore it into the memory of those who may never visit it.
I know there are a million reasons why this would be a logistical nightmare and would never actually happen, but something clean, elegant, and weekly, like the B&N Review would be a perfect addition to the IndieBound program. The monthly Indie Next List is fine, but rather than providing bookseller blurbs about a dozen books each month, a weekly e-publication with five 250-word reviews (could even be in sections: a mystery, a children's/YA book, a small press title, a nonfiction book, etc.) that could then be "pushed" out to readers via a blog would—in my opinion—be even more effective for bringing attention to smart booksellers and the unique books that they love.
Just my two cents . . . I really wrote this post because I think Christopher Byrd's review is great, and he has a slightly different take on the novel than the other people who have written about it.
Not too terribly long ago, Barnes & Noble.com started Barnes & Noble Review a weekly web magazine featuring reviews of books, CDs, DVDs, etc. Pretty interesting strategy—rather than compete with Amazon on price, provide compelling editorial content. B&N has attracted a nice line of reviewers, including John Freeman (former NBCC president and new American editor of Granta) and Christopher Byrd.
And more relevant to this post, they're also covering some great books, including a few Open Letter titles.
Last week, Bragi Olafsson's The Pets was featured on the Best Fiction of the Year list and was plugged by Paul La Farge:
The best short novel I've read this year must be Bragi Ólafsson's The Pets, which makes more room for strangeness in its 157 pages than most novels can find in two or three times that length. [. . .] Ólafsson, who used to play bass in Björk's band The Sugarcubes, handles the absurdity of the situation with a droll matter-of-factness that's reminiscent of Murakami, but as the story goes on the drollery gives way to a subtle menace. A catastrophe is about to happen, and the question is, will Emil be able to prevent it, or will he be trapped by his own cowardice? Small, dark, and hard to put down, The Pets may be a classic in the literature of small enclosed spaces—a distinguished genre, which includes "The Metamorphosis," No Exit, and a fair amount of Beckett.
In the brand new issue, Nobody's Home by Dubravka Ugresic is reviewed by the aforementioned Christopher Byrd:
Abreast with this endeavor, she also looks into how globalization has affected, what the stalwarts of the Frankfurt School termed, the culture industry. For instance, in the essay "Transition: Morphs & Sliders & Polymorphs," she notes, "Only in times ruled by firm, frozen values—political, religious, moral aesthetic, has the writer enjoyed . . . a special status. . . .Today, in…market-oriented cultural zones—an intellectual is simply a 'player' . . . a performer, a circus performer, an entertainer, a vendor of 'cultural' souvenirs." Following this idea to its logical endpoint, one wonders, does the author factors herself into her own indictment? She does. While tallying the ills of civilization, Ugrešić avoids coming across as remote or above the fray. Indeed, alongside engaging in forceful cultural readings, she discourses on things like gardening and the pleasure of having one's nails done. In sum, her provocative bent is not cheapened by her unmitigated desire to please.
Prose translators will likely disagree, but I believe translating poetry requires a significant level of talent, a commitment to the text, and near mania, all of which suggests that the undertaking is the greatest possible challenge. The task is to. . .
The biggest issues with books like The Subsidiary often have to do with their underpinnings—when we learn that Georges Perec wrote La Disparition without once using the letter E, we are impressed. Imagine such a task! It takes a high. . .
Following The Infatuations, Javier Marías's latest novel seems, like those that have preceded it, an experiment to test fiction's capacity to mesmerize with sombre-sexy atmospheres and ruminative elongated sentences stretched across windowless walls of paragraphs. Thus Bad Begins offers his. . .
Death by Water, Kenzaburo Oe's latest novel to be translated into English, practically begs you to read it as autobiography. Like The Changeling, as well as many other works not yet released in English, Death by Water is narrated in. . .
Jocelyne Saucier's Twenty-One Cardinals is about the type of unique, indestructible, and often tragic loyalty only found in families. For a brief but stunningly mesmerizing 169 pages, Twenty-One Cardinals invited me in to the haunting and intimate world of the. . .
We know so very little; so little that what we think to be knowledge is hardly worth reckoning with at all; instead we ought to settle for being pleasantly surprised if, on the edge of things, against all expectations, our. . .
Many of Virginie Despentes's books revolve around the same central idea: "To be born a woman [is] the worst fate in practically every society." But this message is nearly always packaged in easy-to-read books that fill you with the pleasure. . .

Top Picks : March 2011 Current Affairs , 2011 Current Affairs , Economy Current Affairs
The Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) in March 2011 decided to give monthly updates of contributions instead of an annual statement in the backdrop of high defaults in provident fund contributions by employers. EPFO expects that its measure will bring instances of defaults by employers to the notice of workers who will then demand their dues.
According to the current arrangement, the subscribers get only a small slip at the end of the fiscal with just the opening and closing balance. The subscribers therefore do not get to know how their PF amount grew through the year. Subscribers do not calculate what the total amount should be and hardly notice whether or not contributions were made in particular months.
The EPFO manages retirement savings of more than 5 crore workers in the country. The default amount identified by the EPFO through periodic inspection of random establishments in 2009-10 was about 166.12 crore. The EPFO pointed out that defaults were the highest in Tamil Nadu followed by Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Karnataka and Kerala.
Both employers and employees are mandated to contribute 12% of basic pay to the EPFO fund every month. The entire contribution to the fund is usually made by employers who deduct the employees share from their pay and add it their own contribution. About 20000 crore to 30000 crore is added to the corpus every year.

NVGRE (Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation)
NVGRE (Network Virtualization using Generic Routing Encapsulation) is a network virtualization method that uses encapsulation and tunneling to create large numbers of virtual LANs (VLANs) for subnets that can extend across dispersed data centers and layer 2 (the data link layer) and layer 3 (the network layer). The purpose is to enable multi-tenant and load-balanced networks that can be shared across on-premises and cloud environments.
Download Now: Guide to SDN Technologies
This guide outlines differences in SDN architecture and design, how network virtualization can be used in existing networks, and how hybrid networks can contain both legacy equipment and SDN.

You also agree that your personal information may be transferred and processed in the United States, and that you have read and agree to the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy.
NVGRE was designed to solve problems caused by the limited number of VLANs that the IEEE 802.1Q specification enables, which are inadequate for complex virtualized environments, and make it difficult to stretch network segments over the long distances required for dispersed data centers.
Key capabilities of the NVGRE standard include identifying a 24-bit Tenant Network Identifier (TNI) to address problems associated with the multi-tenant network, and using a Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) to create an isolated virtual Layer 2 network that may be confined to a single physical Layer 2 network or extend across subnet boundaries. NVGRE also isolates individual TNIs by inserting the TNI specifier in the GRE header.
The NVGRE specification was proposed by Microsoft, Intel, HP and Dell. NVGRE competes with another encapsulation method, VXLAN (Virtual Extensible LAN).
