Accommodation and facilities:
Ett mycket trevligt hotell med perfekt läge vid stranden, och närma till centrum. Några rum hade en lite konstig mögellukt, men när vi påpekade detta fick vi byta utan problem. Övriga rum var fina.

Air condition and water tab is not well functioning The room rate is not adequate to price that I have stayed in other hotels at Thailand before. I can conclude the room that I got from Palm Island is the worst that I ever had.
Reservation service:
To improve on the room s photo publicity in the website. For Palm Island s room that I have booked is not similar from what I expecting from the website.

I ve not once moaned about a hotel ever in my life but this hotel isn t a hotel well at least the front building isn t ( the one we had booked ) It s a very very run down hostel I wouldn t even put it on a site to advertise.

It was that bad that we didn t even stay as they wanted to charge us 2900thb a night up upgrade you can stop in a 5 star hotel for this price. We decided to loose our money and just walk away. 2 single beds for 2 adults a 10 month old and a 2 year old.

Accommodation and facilities:
Nice place, nice pool, nice staff, good breakfast. The room was simple and noisy but we knew it in advance because it had windows to the street. We stayed in an economy room and the building was strangely located somehow further away from the rest of the resort with lot of stairs to the 2nd floor. But all-in-all it was ok, we would stay in that resort again, probably in a more expensive room.

Muffeliger Geruch. Altes Gebäude. Nach Reklamation bekamen wir ein hochwertigeres Zimmer mit 13 € Aufpreis/Nacht. Trotzdem nicht überzeugend. Bett hart Möbel alt. Kein Safe weit und breit. Kasten für Kleider war auch ne Frechheit. Es einzig positive war der Pool und die Lage direkt am schönen Chaweng Strand. Diese Unterkunft würde ich nicht mehr buchen

Management rude as nothing we ve ever met in Thailand. Very over-priced compared to what you get. Cleaning service was absolutely awful, if you get your room cleaned, it s 7 pm. Breakfast was not edible and it took two hours to get coffee and eggs and the staff was amazingly unorganised and rude as well. Unless you re there for the party on the beach, don t stay in this hotel. And the pool has never been cleaned....
Reservation service:
You could seriously go for an update on your website. If I search for a hotel, I obviously is not interested in all the hotels that are sold out so why is it showing? And also, when clicking on a hotel that looks available, it isn t actually available when you click on the book button. That s quite time consuming and not very user friendly.

Letter writer Michael Saltsman is unequivocally wrong when he states that raising the minimum wage kills jobs ("Job-killer, thy name is minimum wage," Sept. 16). He opines that the editorial page of The Sun is wrong in cherry picking dates to prove their point and yet conveniently picks a date from 20 years ago to prove his. And should a number arbitrarily chosen in 1938 have any more relevance than a footnote today?
When wages are too low, people simply elect not to work. They may become part of the underground economy, pursue unsavory endeavors and engage in activities that some find morally objectionable. Ronald Reagan understood this and greatly enhanced the Earned Income Tax Credit as an incentive for people to work and avoid welfare.
Raising the minimum wage will raise the wages of all bottom tier workers providing them with more purchasing power, increasing the demand for goods and services and ultimately leading to more jobs. Lack of demand has been holding this recovery back, and, inarguably, higher wages would help stimulate it.
Finally, if a company has to offer slave wages with no benefits in order to make a profit, there is something seriously wrong with their business plan. Does that company even have the right to exist? After all, survival of the fittest is the capitalist way.
Raise the minimum wage for the benefit of all Americans.

Spoiler for 12:
Unless something really stupid happens in episode 13 this will definitely be one of the best series I've seen. Then again I wanted to watch this series because I loved the original. So go figure. Still out of the new characters I especially love Vita and Hayate. I also like the fact the show didn't wait until the last second to develop the antagonists. Early on they present the Cloud Knights as actually characters. A refreshing change of pace in my view.

Despite how much this series has rocked, I just have a few criticisms, mainly regarding the old characters.
The show is titled Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha A's, but Nanoha herself did not appear to change or grow over the course of this series. In the first show we got to see her deal with the changes that come about with suddenly gaining magical powers, but in this season she was pretty much a static character. We didn't exactly find out anything new, nor did she grow as a person.
Fate got slightly more attention. We got to see her discomfort around Lindy, and then in episode 11 we learned a whole lot, and she moved on from her past. However, we didn't exactly get to see anything special about her relationship with Nanoha. It just felt like the two were copies of each other, and neither ended up doing anything that was not mirrored by the other.
Arf and Yuuno were almost completely useless, being even more alike in their roles than Nanoha and Fate. Yuuno didn't get to kick ass or do anything special, and Arf got shafted out of her fight scenes with Zafira.
As for Chrono, Lindy, and Amy, no complaints. They didn't gain or lose anymore attention than they got in season 1.
If there is a season 3, then I hope that they focus more on Nanoha. She is the title character, after all.

When did Yuuno ever kick any ass? He binds things. That's what he does. Not counting the very start of episode 1 of season 1 of course. I mean, I like the guy but I'm actually pretty sure Nanoha could do fine in a fight even without him.
That asside, your other complains are fairly valid. It's one of the factors that spawned the "13 or 26 episodes" discussion.

Well to be honest one of the hardest things to do with a second season is to give the new characters proper focus without ignoring the old characters completely. Still maybe it would have worked out better as 26 episodes. Heck I can think of quite a few series that should be 26 episodes instead of 13, but that's another story.

Something I've been meaning to ask...
*Note I have only seen up to ep 7*
How come Hayate doesn't seem to think the Book of Darkness is well, evil? I mean its called Book of Darkness. Sounds kind of evil to me. Or does she just doesn't know the book's name? I think I need to rewatch a few episodes to make sure.

Catgirls, I love your avatars!
That said, I did notice Nanoha seems a little "out of the loop" with the main focus of the story, which made me a little sad, but given that there are simply so many characters grasping for time, it isn't all that surprising. I'm all for a 3rd season!

I think the focus has been divided pretty well. There are many new characters, and it's obvious the intention is for the viewers to like them. Thus, rightfully, they received a lot of screen time for development. Nanoha didn't grow much, which is true, but basically she's already done her development and stayed true to her character (unlike say Kira in GS and GSD). Yes she is the main character, but so is Usagi Tsukino in Sailormoon and she stopped developing in Season 1 . As for Fate, well, without giving spoilers, I would say she got some nice development. In the end, we got an awesome series (one of my all-time favorite barring something wacky happending in the last episode), and the fans basically love all the characters! Which I would think is truly hard to accomplish.
A 3rd season would be nice. Too many characters? Well, just make it a Mahou Shoujo tourament battle.
And a fighting game is absolutely necessary!

Lemon-san!! You're the greatest!! SO CUTE~~~~~ >w<
I expected they would ATLEAST give Chrono HALF AN EPISODE to look out of Asura's window and make a refelct on his past. And...please, just another FIVE COOL MINUTES for a serious battle between him and the Masked man (which actually...well, you know that) Not to mention how much I wish to know about Yuuno's past, and yes, see him in more action. He did pretty well in EP2, managing to block+dodge all Vita's attacks while maintaining the protection shield for Nanoha and deal with the magic cage. Actually, I was hoping to see his combination spell with Shamal TTwTT
Really, If they would just focus more on Chrono and Yuuno (as well as giving Yuuno more "manly" look), I'm pretty sure this show would easily finds its way in attracting fangirls as well.
(Umm...don't get me wrong. I am not saying they should make it ChronoxYuuno which is just too eerie =w=ili)
Anyway, one of my friend has proposed an idea for "Mahou Kenkaku Symphonic Kyouya" (Magical Swordsman Symphonic Kyouya) XD.

Lemon, that is some really serious photoshopping you did there...how long did it take you? a year ?
Jellyfish Marine, unlike lolicons, shoutacons are pretty rare. So unless they really introduce some real bishies, I doubt there would be many fangirls.

DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN YOU FIND OUT ABOUT SOMETHING AMAZING- AN UNBELIEVEABLE OPPORTUNITY- BUT YOU ONLY HAVE TWO DAYS! This was my creation completed in less than one day.
With slight modifications- this was my inspiration:
"A very tall oval shaped calash bonnet made out of finely made black taffeta and lined in light pink china silk. The calash bonnet became popular during the 1760's and was worn to protect the towered powdered hairstyles fashionable during the 18th century. They were named "calash" bonnets after the french word "caleche" (carriage) as they resembled the fold down tops of fine carriages. "

Welcome to my blog and the place where I will post my photos and musings from my life as an ultrarunner. My nickname "Shining" was given to me by a group of very special students after I finished my first 100-miler, the Massanutten Mountain Trails 100. They were the inspiration that enabled me to finish this awesome race, and I try to live each day with a "shining" attitude!

and listens well,
will it speak and tell,
for his sake what man is.
Masanobu Fukuoka
The Foundation for Gaian Studies is a non-profit organization exploring - and participating with -the non-linear intelligence of nature. It is the opinion of the organization's founders that the survivability of the human species depends on human beings once more reconnecting to the Earth. Without this rekindling of our ability to care for the nonhuman world from which we emerged, our behavior as a species will continue to be care-less of the Earth and its preservation. This means that each one of us must learn to "reinhabit our interbeing with the world" as the rainforest activist John Seed puts it. This reinhabiting is essential, not an academic or rhetorical pursuit, and always a personal one.
Toward this end the Foundation was formed - to disseminate information and teach about how this reconnection can occur for all people. On this site you can find out more about the Foundation of Gaian Studies and the work of the organizations founders. Each one of them pursues the Foundation's goals in different forms - for there are many ways to reinhabit our interbeing with our Earthly home. Thank you for visiting our site and if you have any questions, please contact us.

The General Motors Tonawanda Engine Plant is using electronic billboards throughout Western New York to advertise its 75th anniversary open house scheduled for noon to 8 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23.
In the third week of August, the ad will be displayed on an electronic billboard in the Town of Niagara, off the I-190 next to the Fashion Outlets of Niagara, for drivers going toward the Grand Island bridge.
Town of Niagara Councilman Marc Carpenter is the GM Tonawanda Engine Plant's suggestion plan administrator and was the photographer for the five photos to be used on the billboards, which feature Plant Manager Steve Finch and UAW 774 Shop Chairman Bob Coleman with various employees and union members. The 2014 Corvette shown in the ad is just one of the vehicles the plant's new engines are going into, Carpenter said.

The 22nd annual Shake the Shack Rockabilly Ball ripped through Ballard last night on the first of three nights at the Tractor Tavern. Roy Kay Combo, Jukehouse Hounds, Billy Dwayne and the Creepers, plus the Shake The Shack Rock'n Roll Party with Vince Mira, Mark Pickerel, Christy McWilson, Billy Joe of the Dusty 45s and others, all performed blazing sets for all the Shack fans and rockabillies in the house — and some more blazing (literally) than others!
A few tickets are still available for tonight's lineup of The Star Devils, Rockin' Lloyd Tripp and the Zipguns, Captain Jeffrey and the Chumbuckets, and Slim Sandy, and for Saturday's finale with Starkweather Boys, Rocky Velvet, Hillbilly Casino, and The Stillcreek Brothers.
And don't forget the Shake the Shack Hot Rod Car Show at the Shanty Tavern, located at 9002 Lake City Way NE in Seattle, on Saturday, September 26 from 10AM to 5PM.
Still thinking about staying home tonight to wash your hair? These photos from William Brody should light a fire!

Pastor Bill serves couples planning a wedding in the Greater New York area including Long Island (Nassau County and Suffolk County), Queens, Brooklyn, New York City (Manhattan), and Westchester County. If you're thinking of using a Judge for your wedding, or a Justice of the Peace – or if you're thinking of going to city hall for your wedding – or perhaps you're working on a last minute wedding plan –in any case, Pastor Bill would love to speak with you. (Pastor Bill is also available for families that have suffered the loss of a loved one and are planning a funeral.)

Digital Transformation is much more than a buzzword. The radical shift to digital mechanisms for almost every process is evident across all industries and verticals.

Difference between revisions of "Novosibirsk"
Revision as of 12:20, 9 July 2011
Novosibirsk (Russian: Новосиби́рск nuh-vuh-see-BEERSK) is a city in Novosibirsk Oblast, Siberia, and is the third largest city in Russia.
Summers in Novosibirsk are typically warm, but sometimes cold and rainy. Winters can be really cold with temperatures as low as -40° Celsius.
Get in
Flights are handled by the Tolmachevo Airport [2], 16km away from city center. S7 Airlines is the major airline here and have domestic flights to most cities in Russia. Aeroflot also have direct flights from Moscow. Bus #111 connects the airport with the major train station while bus #112 connections to Avtovokzal (Автовокзал), the bus terminal.
Novosibirsk is a major station on the Trans-Siberian Railway, in fact the Vokzal-Glavny (Вокзал-Главный) station is the largest station along the route. This means that there are daily trains avalible from Moscow and Saint-Petersburg with a journey time of 2-3 days. Coming from the other direction, there are direct trains from Beijing, Ulaan Baator and Vladivostok amongst others. Also, Novosibirsk is also the final destination of the Sibirjak express train, the longest train journey originating in the European Union. This weekly train leaves Berlin each Saturday afternoon and arrives Wednesday at lunch time. Apart from the long-distance trains there are plenty of local and regional trains connecting with most nearby cities. Vokzal-Glavny station is very close to the Garina Mikhailovskogo (Гарина Михайловского) Metro stop.
Get around
There is a lot of public transport in this city. Everywhere you will pay from 16 to 25 rubles (it depends from your change of transport). Taxis, metro, buses, street railways or trams and so on. Most citizens can't speak even basic English (although almost all of them were taught English in schools). Very often it depends from some English accents of tourists, I mean, misunderstanding each other.
The Metro [3] is cheap but only runs through the city center and just past the Ob River. Still, for the visitor, you can get to many major destinations from its six major stops, including the main square, Lenin Square, on Krasny Prospekt (Red Avenue).
Lenin Square (city center)
See the Lenin's square with a grey-color monument of Lenin left from Soviet era standing right in front of the Opera and Ballet House which, by the way, is beautiful at night. It is also the largest opera house in Russia. There's also the exact geographical center of former Soviet Union just south of Lenin Square, marked by the Chapel of St. Nicholas, originally built in 1915 to commemorate 300 years of Romanov rule, destroyed in 1930 and rebuilt in 1993. In winter residents build an ice town on the Ob River, and in summer you can go to the beach. Near the city center on Krasny Prospekt,you can also see some excellent works in the Novosibirsk Art Museum and Local Studies Museum. You could also consider the Novosibirsk Regional Puppet Theater (over 70 years old in an interesting historic building), Novosibirsk Circus, and several other theaters. As in every Russian city, there are multiple monuments to heroes of the Great Patriotic War (WWII), including an eternal flame guarded at special ceremonies by youths with replica Kalashnikovs. Those are standard touristic places, but you should definitely make friends with locals to see the "best" parts of the city.
Novosibirsk Zoo
The zoo is one of the largest in Russia (after Novosibirsk had a really tiny one for decades until 90-s). Much money have been invested in the zoo during "prosperous 00-s", thanks to the zoo's devoted director Shilo, a member of the bureaaucrat United Russia party. The zoo is very well-attended and one of the best places to visit that Novosibisk can offer.[4]
A visit to Akademgorodok, built in the 1950s as a mecca for academics but suffering from neglect in the post-Soviet years, is still pleasant as a day trip. This formerly elite institution is located about 30 KM south of the city and features several museums and nice, tree-lined streets.
While you're in the area, you might also visit one of several nice beaches on the Ob Sea, the large body of water created by a dam on the Ob River.
Also south of the city, about 2 km north of Akademgorodok, is the open-air West Siberian Rail Museum. There are about 90 historical trains and rail cars there.
Many cafés and restaurants offer paid (and free) Wi-Fi all over the city.
Visa Centers
Stay Safe
There are some areas in the city to shun. Pervomayskiy rayon and far-off areas of Leninskiy and Kirovskiy rayons should be avoided at any time.
The safest place is the center (nearby Lenin Square), stay there and you will be all right.
Get out

Region Nominations February 2013
Help us select what the MR Literary Club will read for February 2013!
The category for this month is:
Canada & the U.S.A., as chosen in the poll
This month is a two-part process:
The first part begins with a one-day poll to determine the region we will use. It is multiple choice and you may choose as many options as you like when voting. This voting is separate from your nominations. There are no nominations during the poll, only voting. I will not vote in the poll, and if there is a tie, I will break it.
As soon as the poll is over and the region is determined, then the second part (nominations) starts and you can begin nominating like normal. This will run for three days until February 5. We no longer aim for a certain number of fully nominated works; rather, we now only aim for a certain length of time for nominations (three days).
Nominations can be set in any region, but they should be written by an author from that region.
-Regions are named in the poll and colour-coded on the map. Region names are generalities and not exact.
-If a country or territory is too small to show regional colour on the map, it will be part of the region closest to it physically and culturally. If you are unsure, just ask.
-I had help making the regions list that was much appreciated.
-Previously chosen regions currently ineligible:
Latin America
Central Asia, East Europe & Russia
Once the poll is over and nominations begin:
In order for a work to be included in the poll it needs four nominations - the original nomination plus three supporting.
Each participant has four nominations to use. You can nominate a new work for consideration or you can support (second, third or fourth) a work that has already been nominated by another person.
To nominate a work just post a message with your nomination. If you are the first to nominate a work, it's always nice to provide an abstract to the work so others may consider their level of interest.
What is literature for the purposes of this club? A superior work of lasting merit that enriches the mind. Often it is important, challenging, critically acclaimed. It may be from ancient times to today; it may be from anywhere in the world; it may be obscure or famous, short or long; it may be a story, a novel, a play, a poem, an essay or another written form. If you are unsure if a work would be considered literature, just ask!
The floor is now open!
Nominations are now closed. Final results are:
Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov - Fully nominated
In favour - Hamlet53, paola, issybird, Synamon
Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich by Stephen Leacock - Fully nominated
In favour - issybird, paola, fantasyfan, sun surfer
From Goodreads:
Of the many books by Canada's most celebrated humorist, none has received more acclaim than his brilliant, caustic treatment of the glittering rich who gather at the Mausoleum Club on Plutoria Avenue.
Today, Leacock's pointed satire of the privileged class, and their social abuses and pretences, retains every ounce of its freshness and bite. An undisputed comic masterpiece, Arcadian Adventures with the Idle Rich reveals a depth of compassionate criticism rare in Leacock's writings.
Written in 1914, it's in the public domain and available here at MR; free audio version at LibriVox.
Up From Slavery by Booker T. Washington - Fully nominated
In favour - fantasyfan, sun surfer, Bookpossum, Billi
Here's the Amazon review:
Nineteenth-century African American businessman, activist, and educator Booker Taliaferro Washington's Up from Slavery is one of the greatest American autobiographies ever written. Its mantras of black economic empowerment, land ownership, and self-help inspired generations of black leaders, including Marcus Garvey, Elijah Muhammad, Malcolm X, and Louis Farrakhan. In rags-to-riches fashion, Washington recounts his ascendance from early life as a mulatto slave in Virginia to a 34-year term as president of the influential, agriculturally based Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. From that position, Washington reigned as the most important leader of his people, with slogans like "cast down your buckets," which emphasized vocational merit rather than the academic and political excellence championed by his contemporary rival W.E.B. Du Bois. Though many considered him too accommodating to segregationists, Washington, as he said in his historic "Atlanta Compromise" speech of 1895, believed that "political agitation alone would not save [the Negro]," and that "property, industry, skill, intelligence, and character" would prove necessary to black Americans' success. The potency of his philosophies are alive today in the nationalist and conservative camps that compose the complex quilt of black American society.
It's in the public domain
The Old Man and The Sea by Ernest Hemingway - Fully nominated
In favour - caleb72, fantasyfan, Billi, issybird
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck - Fully nominated
In favour - paola, caleb72, Synamon, Hamlet53
From Goodreads:
Wang Lung, rising from humble Chinese farmer to wealthy landowner, gloried in the soil he worked. He held it above his family, even above his gods. But soon, between Wang Lung and the kindly soil that sustained him, came flood and drought, pestilence and revolution....
Through this one Chinese peasant and his children, Nobel Prize-winner Pearl S. Buck traces the whole cycle of life, its terrors, its passion, its persistent ambitions and its rewards. Her brilliant novel beloved by millions of readers throughout the world is a universal tale of the destiny of men.
Published in 1931
Fifth Business by Robertson Davies - Fully nominated
In favour - issybird, Billi, sun surfer, Bookpossum
From Goodreads:
Ramsay is a man twice born, a man who has returned from the hell of the battle-grave at Passchendaele in World War I decorated with the Victoria Cross and destined to be caught in a no man's land where memory, history, and myth collide. As Ramsay tells his story, it begins to seem that from boyhood, he has exerted a perhaps mystical, perhaps pernicious, influence on those around him. His apparently innocent involvement in such innocuous events as the throwing of a snowball or the teaching of card tricks to a small boy in the end prove neither innocent nor innocuous. Fifth Business stands alone as a remarkable story told by a rational man who discovers that the marvelous is only another aspect of the real.
It doesn't seem to be available as an ebook but it is easily available from The Book Depository in paperback--published by Penguin as part of Penguin Twentieth-Century Classics at a reasonable price and free delivery world wide. fantasyfan has always found them excellent, quick, and reliable.
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck - Fully nominated
In favour - Hamlet53, Synamon, caleb72, Bookpossum
From Wikipedia:
The Grapes of Wrath is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939. For it he won the annual National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for novels and it was cited prominently when he won the Nobel Prize in 1962.
Set during the Great Depression, the novel focuses on the Joads, a poor family of tenant farmers driven from their Oklahoma home by drought, economic hardship, and changes in financial and agricultural industries. Due to their nearly hopeless situation, and in part because they were trapped in the Dust Bowl, the Joads set out for California. Along with thousands of other "Okies", they sought jobs, land, dignity, and a future.
It's available as an ebook.
Catch-22 by Joseph Heller - 3
In favour - paola, Hamlet53, fantasyfan
From wikipedia:
Catch-22 is a satirical and somewhat historical novel by the American author Joseph Heller. He began writing it in 1953, and the novel was first published in 1961. It is set during World War II in 1943 and is frequently cited as one of the great literary works of the twentieth century. It uses a distinctive non-chronological third-person omniscient narration, describing events from different characters' points of view and out of sequence so that the time line develops along with the plot.
The novel follows Captain John Yossarian, a U.S. Army Air Forces B-25 bombardier. Most of the events in the book occur while the fictional 256th squadron is based on the island of Pianosa, in the Mediterranean Sea west of Italy. The novel looks into the experiences of Yossarian and the other airmen in the camp, and their attempts to keep their sanity in order to fulfill their service requirements, so that they can return home. The phrase "Catch-22", "a problematic situation for which the only solution is denied by a circumstance inherent in the problem or by a rule," has entered the English language.
The Colour Purple by Alice Walker - 1
In favour - caleb72
A Separate Peace by John Knowles - 3
In favour - sun surfer, Bookpossum, orlok
From Amazon:
Set at a boys' boarding school in New England during the early years of World War II, A Separate Peace is a harrowing and luminous parable of the dark side of adolescence. Gene is a lonely, introverted intellectual. Phineas is a handsome, taunting, daredevil athlete. What happens between the two friends one summer, like the war itself, banishes the innocence of these boys and their world.
A bestseller for more than thirty years, A Separate Peace is John Knowles's crowning achievement and an undisputed American classic.
"A masterpiece." - National Review
"A model of restraint, deeply felt and beautifully written." - The Observer
Rabbit, Run by John Updike - 2
In favour - orlok, Billi
It's 1959 and Harry 'Rabbit' Angstrom, one time high school sports superstar, is going nowhere. At twenty-six he is trapped in a second-rate existence - stuck with a fragile, alcoholic wife, a house full of overflowing ashtrays and discarded glasses, a young son and a futile job. With no way to fix things, he resolves to flee from his family and his home in Pennsylvania, beginning a thousand-mile journey that he hopes will free him from his mediocre life. Because, as he knows only too well, 'after you've been first-rate at something, no matter what, it kind of takes the kick out of being second-rate'.

I don't wanna influence anyone which region to choose, I just wanna mention that in this post
in the February book voting-thread fantasyfan brought up the idea to propose "Lolita" for the next discussion in this club here if it fits the category. I personally find it a very good idea. In this case the region would be US/Canada as the alternative Russia is not available this time.

^^sun surfer's said that it's up to the members' judgment.
As I posted elsewhere, I think Lolita is clearly an American novel. Nabokov was a US citizen, the book was written in English and it's set in the USA. An American novel must perforce have been written by an American.
I think sometimes you have to be squishy to get it right.

He's an American version of Joseph Conrad. Conrad was born in Poland, spoke English with an accent, became a UK citizen and is regarded by everyone as the greatest English novelist post-Dickens. Conrad represents, contributed to and is from the English literary tradition--not the Polish.
Nabokov is in a very similar position.

I am also comfortable with calling Nabokov an American, especially for Lolita. In no small part because may appetite has been whetted for reading and discussing Lolita here by some means.
My concern is where it might lead once the criteria is made squishy. Is Out of Africa by a author from North & Central Europe or by an author from Sub-Saharan Africa? Is Kim by an author from Ireland & The U.K. or South Asia? Then my main concern with getting squishy is opening the scope of what are, at least culturally and from a point of view, American, Canadian, and United Kingdom authors, to the entire world. Really the opposite of any contention over Nabokov.
So I've voted so as to cover all the bases for what I would like to see next. Ideally Lolita, and if not . . .

I think I'd vote Nabokov as American, but then someone like Rohinton Mistry is definitely Indian, despite living in Canada.
Why am I the only one interested in SouthEast Europe?
I disagree with Lolita as the next choice, but that's me. The part of me that hopes Lolita wins is so that it can be removed from further book nomination discussions.

it won't be me stopping the Lolita train - only, I fear my copy may still be in a box (from the last removal four years ago!), and i wouldn't want to buy a second copy for a reread.. but I am jumping gun here
I've also selected something that feels more exotic to read, though it would be very nice to have a good, adult discussion on Lolita.

I'll give some background info on coming up with this category -
I basically had two choices on region guidelines - either that a book be mostly set in that region, or the author be from that region. I chose the latter to prevent a region's nominations being filled up with foreigners writing fiction about a region, especially that every region may then have many U.S./U.K. author nominations since those countries have such huge and well-known literary traditions. That would defeat the purpose of sampling a region's literature, so I felt the more authentic approach was defining it by where the author comes from.
After that, I could've said an author should be from the region and the book should be set in that region, but I didn't want to automatically eliminate so many books from fitting in any region, since many are set in places that the author is not from, and aside from other countries, there are even locations such as books set on the ocean, unknown or unnamed locations or science-fiction books set not on the earth, etc.
That said, I still knew there would be some books that would be sticky to categorise and still may not fit in any region, and this could include some ancient authors whose ancient regions were different from current ones (which, for example, is one reason I put Turkey in the same region as Greece instead of its current more closely culturally aligned neighbours in the Middle East) and authors who moved, especially ones who became citizens of another country. I figured this probably wouldn't be much of a problem but that we'd just take any questions on a case by case basis.
I was deliberate in my guideline wording. I purposely left out "originally" before "from" to leave a little wiggle room for authors such as Kazuo Ishiguro who moved at a young age. But in general, my intent in the wording was an author who grew up in and therefore was culturally aligned with a region, despite where they may be while writing a book.
Ironically enough, I specifically thought of Nabokov and Lolita while writing the guidelines for the category as a sort most extreme example I could think of that could challenge the guidelines (and since he was mentioned, I'll note that I also thought of Conrad too). My conclusion was that some few books just may not fit any region really under the spirit of the guidelines and would be better nominated in some other month. Having thought of Lolita while writing the guidelines, Im really amazed it's now come up not only as a possible nomination but one that people want to push through to a win before the nominations even start and are using it to choose a region.
Reading some of your posts now, I feel ambivalent on the issue. Though I feel that perhaps technically Nabokov could be considered "from" the U.S. after a certain point, I still think that Lolita as a nomination for the U.S. wouldn't really fit the spirit of the category, and, as Hamlet53 pointed out, a concern is also where things might lead once the criteria is made so squishy, as he put it.
Also, I'm not particularly enthused about a particular region winning in a landslide based on the prospect of nominating one particular book, even if that book definitely fit that region. It just feels a bit like trying to choose your chick before the hen's even laid the eggs.
All that said, I'm happy with Canada & the U.S. (presumably) winning and am looking forward to whatever the nominations may bring once the poll's over.
And to be clear, as issybird mentioned above, its up to the group to decide on this one through nominations and voting.

I actually didn't vote for US/Can despite my happiness to read Lolita. I thought I'd go for Sub-Saharan Africa because I'd be very interested to read Nigerian author Nnedi Okorafor, South Asia because I'd like to read India's Arundhati Roy and South Pacific because I'm patriotic.
I'm swimming upstream here - but I must just be in the mood for a bit of David vs Goliath.

I voted for Canada/US, Ireland and the UK, and North and Central Europe, the last two mainly because they were looking unloved.
I think part of the push to get "Lolita" up is indignation that a book considered by most serious readers as one of the great works of the 20th century could be traduced by being described as in praise of paedophilia, and a book which should be banned from MR as not being "family friendly".
It certainly made me feel that the barbarians were at the gates and that I needed to take a stand on behalf of artistic freedom from censorship.

Enigma Variations
In "Call Me By Your Name," the beautiful coming of age novel adapted for the film that is now generating Oscar buzz, author André Aciman examined what could easily have been viewed as a routine schoolboy crush but was, in turn, an awakening of senses and an inherent expression of love.
His latest work, "Enigma Variations," now available in paperback, resembles "Call Me By Your Name" in that the protagonist discovers impenetrable desire at a young age. Throughout his life, the haunted and seemingly tormented Paul longs for multiple partners of both sexes, some of whom he admires from afar and only in his own imagination.
The author follows Paul throughout five intertwined segments that are light on plot but heavy on the thought process of one individual whose attractions become intrusive obsessions. While the entries are not equally profound, each features Aciman's trademark melodic prose and conscientious attention to detail, as well as eleventh-hour plot twists that you won't see coming and may not accept easily. Nevertheless, the collective result makes for a remarkably poignant albeit occasionally maddening read.
The introductory chapter, "First Love," where a teenage Paul becomes infatuated with a cabinetmaker ten years his senior, leaves the most lasting impression on both the reader and the narrator. It effectively sets the tone for his mindset, because he never truly recovers from that adolescent experience.
As Paul matures (at least in age), he has relationships with women, including a college chum who reappears intermittently and unexpectedly. He also forges a friendship with a gay man whom he lusts after, and apparently, the attraction is mutual. The last and least convincing story has Paul supposedly yearning for a much younger woman who appreciates him for his intellect and more as a friend.
The illustrious venues include a New England college campus, Greenwich Village, an elite Manhattan dinner party and an exotic Italian island. Regardless of where the incorrigibly cultured Paul finds himself, Aciman reminds us how one simple word or look from the right (or wrong) individual can be immeasurably significant and even life-changing.

District continues Feb. 15 at Deer Park High School, 800 S. Weber Road.
REPUBLIC – The Curlew boys took care of business Tuesday, dispatching Republic, 62-51, in the final basketball game of the regular season.
Republic entered the fray needing to beat the Cougars by 10 points or more to secure the No. 2 seed to district.
The loss dropped the Tigers to No. 4.
Curlew instead finished with the No. 2 seed.
"We played great defense for most of the game," Republic coach Dan Groom said. "And we played multiple defenses — straight up man, a couple of different zones, we pressed. We executed every defense well. We regularly worked them through 30 seconds of the shot clock, but they would make an amazing shot or we would have a last-second breakdown inside."
Aaron McCullough (21 points) and Coby Grumbach (15 points) combined for 26 of the Cougars' 34 first half points. McCullough was 6-for-6 shooting free throws in the first half.
"Curlew shot for a very high percentage in the first half, both from the field and the foul line," Groom said. "And their shots weren't just a bunch of lay-ups."
Curlew extended its 34-22 halftime lead to 51-36 after three quarters.
"We were in foul trouble all game," Groom said. "Curlew went to the line 27 times. We only shot four free throws. Angelo Rivera and Taylor Campbell both fouled out. Alex Rivera and Garrett Weller each had four fouls at the end of the game."
Aaron Fritts finished with 21 points and 12 rebounds from his point guard position for Republic.
Weller added 18 points, all scored on 3-pointers.
"It just wasn't enough tonight," Groom said. "Too many unforced turnovers. Curlew won the majority of 50-50 balls, which is a testament to their hustle."
The loss broke a three-game win streak for Republic (9-10 overall, 7-5 league), which opens district at south champion Odessa-Harrington (14-6) on Tuesday.
Curlew (62) - Brown 9, McCullough 21, Beedle 7, Knapp 6, Poore 4, Grumbach 15.
Republic (51) – Remien 0, Fritts 17, Campbell 8, Weller 18, Alex Rivera 2, K. McQuay 0, Angelo Rivera 6.
Rebounds (28): Fritts 12. Steals (6): Fritts 3.

Hey elm, if you have a burning desire to part with your Fendi, my last bottle just got broken (thank you Delta airlines!) and I'm sad!
Or, if you have a good source for Fendi at a reasonable price, that would be helpful too!

Mr. Big, Mfisha welcome 5 new cubs
Mr. Big, Mfisha welcome 5 new cubs
OMAHA, Neb. —
Five lion cubs were born at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo last weekend, KETV-TV reported.
While four of the cubs are now on display with their mother and aunt, one of the female cubs is being hand-raised by zoo staff.
Zoo officials said the cub was born smaller than the others and didn't compete well for food.
The cub will be introduced to its mother and siblings -- two brothers and two sisters --when her health is stable and she gains weight.
This is the first litter for the 14-year-old father, Mr. Big, and 6-year-old mother, Mfisha.

The motivation for this came from a project where an ETL service was responsible for handling synchronization of data (such as departments, customers and contracts) across several databases and applications.
The ETL tool didn't have a simple way to make XML-RPC calls, and writing directly to OpenERP's tables is not a good solution.
This was solved using a relatively simple "hybrid" solution. The PushSQL module provides a database table for external apps to write data to imported to OpenERP, using plain SQL INSERT statements. A scheduled job regularly looks for new rows in this table and processes them, making the intended changes to OpenERP data.
The table , import_pushsql, has two mandatory columns: model and data. The first is the target model, such as res.partner. The second contains the data to import, using the format for CSV files, but using TAB instead of comma as the column separator.
For example, using PSQL:
INSERT INTO import_pushsql (model, data) VALUES ('res.partner', E'id\tname\tref\nres_partner_XXX\tDemo Customer\tXXX')
Or, if using SQL Server:
INSERT INTO import_pushsql (model, data) VALUES ('res.partner',
'id' +char(9)+ 'name' +char(9)+ 'ref' +char(10)+ 'res_partner_XXX' +char(9)+ 'Demo Customer' +char(9)+ 'XXX'
The scheduled action uses this to run a standard import_data ORM method, writes the result into the log column, and changes the state to 'done' if successful, or 'cancel' if an error was found.
Compared to the "pull" approach used by the import_odbc module, this "push" approach can provide a few advantages:
- No need to install other database clients and middleware in OpenERP's server.
- It uses less resources on OpenERP server, because there is no need to connect to other servers.
- Event driven data sync, where an action in another system immediately triggers a write on OpenERP that can be processed within a few minutes.
Overall, the PushSQL module can provide a very simple and straighforward way for business apps to safely send data to OpenERP, in scenarios where using the API is not an option or would be too cumbersome.
The import_pushsql can be downloaded either from OpenERP Apps or from Launchpad using: bzr branch lp:reis-openerp-addons

A mother who stabbed her three young children to death has been found dead in a high security hospital. Theresa Riggi, 50, was jailed for 16 years for killing her eight-year-old twins Austin and Luke and her five-year-old daughter Cecilia at their Edinburgh home in August 2010. Their bloodstained bodies were discovered lying side by side in the Slateford Road property following a gas explosion at the building, each with eight stab wounds.
Riggi was initially charged with murder but admitted three counts of the lesser charge of culpable homicide on the grounds of diminished responsibility. A court heard that a report into her mental state identified narcissistic, paranoid and hysterical personality disorders.
She was moved from the all-female Cornton Vale Prison, near Stirling, after a string of alleged attacks in 2011. The US-born Riggi was found dead at Rampton Secure Hospital in Nottinghamshire today. A Nottinghamshire Police spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that we were called to Rampton in the early hours of this morning to the death of a woman. It's not being treated as suspicious and we are preparing a file for the coroner."
During her trial, the court heard Riggi had a ''possessive love'' for her children and had been involved in a custody battle with her estranged husband. Passing sentence, judge Lord Bracadale told her that a ''devastating family tragedy'' had resulted from her "ghastly and grotesque" actions.
The judge had also told Riggi that she would be deported after she finished her sentence. Riggi and the three children had moved to Edinburgh from Skene in Aberdeenshire after the break-up of her marriage to their father Pasquale Riggi. She was badly injured on the day of the killings after plunging from a balcony in an apparent suicide attempt but a neighbour broke her fall.
