Miraclesuit is a unique swimsuit that contours, shapes, slims and firms the body. Miraclesuit has three times the holding power of the average swimsuit and it accomplishes this without the conventional girdle control lining. The magic is in the fabric called Miratex, which was developed after years of research and also in the way the fabric is cut and sewn. There is no faster path to subtle siren status than this suit. Because it provides an instant hourglass shape without it looking like you're trying too hard. Because you are too cool for that, missy.

The Last Great Snake Show

In his fourth novel, Tim McLaurin plows the fertile ground of the poor, rural South. On their way to Canterbury, a group of errant pilgrims are actually an unlikely troupe: snake handler Jubal Lee, exotic dancer Gloria Peacock, and Cappy, a testy, old Vietnam war veteran. They're employed by Miss Darlene, owner of the House of Joy, a bar on the coast of North Carolina that serves up moonshine, catfish, and baked raccoon--plus Gloria Peacock's proud gyrations. But whatever union they've found is momentarily torn asunder by a tornado, leveling the House of Joy and leaving Miss Darlene fatally wounded. As the troupe heads toward Oregon, where Miss Darlene bought property sight unseen, they have to muster all of their resources and wit to battle prejudices and perversions they never encountered at home. With each new confrontation, past demons rise up, forcing our heroes to realize they can't run from the past forever. They must decide which holds the higher value: striking out for the territory or staying to mine the treasures of home. Darlene runs the House of Joy, an old-fashioned Southern hoochie-coochie joint where striptease and snake handling, fortified with moonshine, are the norm. Then a tornado destroys the House of Joy and jams a piece of glass into Darlene's brain. She has only a short time to live and one last wish: to see the land she owns in her home state, Oregon. The stripper, the snake handler, the stage manager, and Darlene, who are later joined by a high-society stowaway, head west in an old school bus, performing to earn the money to keep going. This is a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment for everyone. Engagingly written by the author of Cured by Fire (LJ 12/94), it runs the gamut from hilarity to tragedy. Recommended.?Joanna M. Burkhardt, Univ. of Rhode Island Coll. of Continuing Education Lib.Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc. A band of misfits sets off across country with a traveling road show to take their dying leader home, in a disarmingly sweet tale of love and courage from McLaurin (Cured by Fire, 1995, etc.). When Wilmington, North Carolina, becomes a hot spot for movie- making, Darlene, a former bar girl and topless dancer, seizes the opportunity and is soon accruing a fortune at her House of Joy. There, she offers the kind of illegal extras--moonshine, girls, and a snake show--that the movie types are only too happy to pay big money for. The Captain (Cappy), dressed up in a Civil War uniform, acts as doorman; Darlene, aging but still a beauty, is hostess; Gloria is a dancer and provider of additional services in private; and Jubal Lee handles the poisonous snakes. Each is making the best of lives that haven't quite panned out as they'd been intended: Darlene wants to get back to the land she'd been saving to buy on the Oregon coast; Cappy is haunted by nightmares from his time in Vietnam; Gloria is studying to become a cosmetician; and Jubal, who had dreams of being an environmentalist, is haunted by his brother's death, for which he feels responsible. When a hurricane destroys the House of Joy's building and leaves a piece of glass embedded in Darlene's brain, the group, now homeless and jobless, decide to take the dying hostess back to Oregon. Setting off in an old bus, they're soon joined by wealthy runaway Kitty Monroe, who's fled Wilmington on the day of her wedding. As Darlene grows frailer and their money diminishes, the troupe holds shows along the way. They finally reach Oregon, where the now-blind Darlene dies; Cappy finds himself at last able to put Vietnam behind him; and Jubal, Kitty, and Gloria, surprised by hidden strengths, also find happiness. A southern Wizard of Oz, celebrating kindness and character and the way that--sometimes--they can be bonded together. -- Copyright 1997, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved. The Last Great Snake Show proves a strange mix of the hokey and the disturbing as it follows this traveling hoochie-coochie show.... McLaurin clearly endorses the wholesome view of his story, contrasting the camaraderie and honesty of the performers with the hypocrisy, racism and greed of the people they entertain. What works is the Southern dialogue, brash with wit and pride of place. -- The New York Times Book Review, Nina Sonenberg

Boy in the Sand: Casey Donovan, All-American Sex Star

Roger Edmonson details the life of one of the most famous and beloved American gay porn stars. In 1971, gay model and actor Cal Culver went from being relatively unknown to superstardom when he appeared in the acclaimed high-brow porn movie Boys in the Sand. Rechristened Casey Donovan, he became a stage star, a world-renowned celebrity, and an idol for gay men. In 1987 Culver died of AIDS-related complications. Boy in the Sand is remarkably free from moralizing, simply presenting the reader with the everyday realities of Donovan's life, from his careers as advice columnist for Stallion magazine and hustler to his romantic pursuits. Like Charles Isherwood's critically acclaimed Wonder Bread and Ecstasy: The Life and Death of Joey Stefano, Edmonson's book is more than simply a portrait of the artist as a young stud--it's an examination of how gay-male sexuality and identity are constructed and marketed for both homosexual and mainstream audiences. --Michael Bronski

Michael Hoppé: Solace

The search for solace involves a difficult reconciliation of conflicting emotions, pitting ones need to grieve at odds with a heavy-hearted realization that life, however diminished, must go on. Using an audio palette of grays and dark blues, Michael Hoppe offers Solace as a balm for the soul during such times, "where the dark clouds in life give way to the glow of eternal hope and peace." The clouds never fully lift during the 12 tracks of Solace, which appear to progress in a stages-of-mourning manner. The effect can be moving, even lovely (particularly the grand orchestral opener, "The Majestic Land," one of four splendid selections involving the Prague Symphony -- recorded remotely via an Internet link, of all things). The prevailing mood is melancholy but not quite maudlin; two angelic arias ("Pie Jesu," which Hoppe had written for the memorial service of his wifes mother, and "Lachrymosa") are tearless, reverent expressions that aspire to the divine. The closing moment of "The Parting," a retooled but otherwise ordinary composition from 1986 that involves Vangelis, finally yields a sense of closure. For those in a state of bereavement, Hoppes Solace may offer you comfort. --Terry Wood

Best New American Voices 2005

"How can the written word be dead when it is being deployed with such spirit and vitality?" asks guest editor Francine Prose in her introduction to this provocative collection of 17 stories chosen from writing programs and arts organizations around the country. More realistic than experimental, the stories ricochet between themes of love and loss; the best ones give readers the feeling they're swimming across the surface of an ocean when a shiver of cold betrays the great depths that lie beneath. Frances Hwang's mournful depiction of an estranged Chinese couple stuck with a deadbeat tenant in "Garden City" is a portrait of lives consumed with regret. "The Cosmonaut" by Ian David Froeb beautifully captures the parallels between two grieving men brought together under literally cosmic circumstances. A number of the stories document cultural clashes in progress. When the exasperated Thai farmer in Rattawut Lapcharoensap's "Farangs" takes one look at the bikini-clad American tourist girl who's come to ride his elephant and asks, "What if I went to her country and rode a bald eagle in my underwear, huh?" it's clear that as the world gets smaller, the potential for conflict looms large. Other selections depict fascinating communities of Sikhs, Sri Lankans and Singaporean Chinese. If this anthology of up-and-coming writers is any indication, the prognosis for the written word is very good. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. Adult/High SchoolShort story collections are plentiful, but high school librarians would be hard pressed to find one as appealing as this one. The 17 stories chosen by guest editor Prose include some of the finest fiction coming out of universities and writing workshops today. The central characters come from a wide range of cultural and economic backgrounds. "Full-Month Celebration" is the story of Ah Fong, a Chinese amahwho is returning from Singapore to her family. Rattawut Lapcharoensap's "Farangs" revolves around the son of a Thai hotel keeper and his ambivalent relationship with a girl from the U.S. "Pine" is Hasanthika Sirisena's story of one woman's attempt to hold on to her cultural heritage as her young children are assimilated into the American traditions around them. Natalie Mudbrook, the protagonist of Eric Puchner's "Essay #3Leda and the Swan," is so candid in her egocentric chronicling of her attempts to steal her sister's boyfriend that readers feel affection for her in spite of themselves. Each selection is a treat to be savored and an excellent choice for both reluctant readers and book lovers. Teens will also find Prose's introduction insightful and entertaining.

The Assistant

This new specialty-interest audio publisher is launching its line with two strong titles in addition to this one: Betrothed by S.Y. Agnon, read by Peter Waldren, and Miss America, 1945: Bess Myerson and the Year that Changed Our Lives by Susan Dworkin, read by Bess Myerson and Adam Grupper. Known especially for the craft of his short stories, Malamud (The Fixer; The Natural) published this novel in 1957. Frank Alpine is an Italian-American drifter who lands a job working for a humble Jewish grocer in Brooklyn. When he falls in love with the storekeeper's daughter, he is forced to reexamine his moral and spiritual beliefs. Guidall, one of audio's finest narrators, extracts a strong sense of atmosphere from Malamud's richly descriptive language. He throws himself into the many charged dialogue scenesAcomplete with the ethnic accents requiredAexpressing pathos and humility without overdramatizing. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. "The clarity and concreteness of[Malamud's] style, the warm humanity over his people, the tender wit that keeps them first and compassionable, will delight many.... Mr. Malamud's people are memorable and real as rock."--William Goyen, The New York Times --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. "The Assistant", by Pulitzer Prize-recipient Bernard Malamud, is considered an American literary classic. A real find for lovers of literature, praised by the Jewish Theological Seminary and Jewish Book World. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Bernard Malamud was born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on April 26, 1914, the son of Jewish immigrants from Russia. By his death in 1986, he had won the Pulitzer Prize and twice won the National Book Award and his books (such as "The Fixer", "The Natural") and stories (such as "The Angel Levine," "The Jewbird") had become American classics. "The Assistant," published in 1957, represents this great writer's belief in the noble drama of everyday lives and the universality of the Jewish experience. George Guidall, winner of the 1999 "AUDIE", the audio publishing industry's highest honor, has recorded more than 500 books on tape. They range from Dostoyevsky's "Crime and Punishment" to present-day best sellers. He has also spent 30 years in the theater as an actor, director and teacher. He replaced Eli Wallach in "Caf Crown" and played the lead in Neil Simon's "Chapter Two." Television audiences have frequently seen Mr. Guidall on "Law and Order." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Bernard Malamud was born to Russian immigrant parents in Brooklyn, New York, in 1914. His story collection, The Magic Barrel, won the National Book Award in 1958. The Fixer, a novel, won him another National Book Award in 1967, as well as the Pulitzer Prize. His other books include The Tenants, A New Life, Dubin's Lives, The Assistant, and The Natural, which was made into a highly successful motion picture directed by Barry Levinson and starring Robert Redford. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. The AssistantThe early November street was dark though night had ended, but the wind, to the grocer's surprise, already clawed. It flung his apron into his face as he bent for the two milk cases at the curb. Morris Bober dragged the heavy boxes to the door, panting. A large brown bag of hard rolls stood in the doorway along with the sour-faced, gray-haired Poilisheh huddled there, who wanted one."What's the matter so late?""Ten after six," said the grocer."Is cold," she complained.Turning the key in the lock he let her in. Usually he lugged in the milk and lit the gas radiators, but the Polish woman was impatient. Morris poured the bag of rolls into a wire basket on the counter and found an unseeded one for her. Slicing it in halves, he wrapped it in white store paper. She tucked the roll into her cord market bag and left three pennies on the counter. He rang up the sale on an old noisy cash register, smoothed and put away the bag the rolls had come in, finished pulling in the milk, and stored the bottles at the bottom of the refrigerator. He lit the gas radiator at the front of the store and went into the back to light the one there.He boiled up coffee in a blackened enamel pot and sippedit, chewing on a roll, not tasting what he was eating. After he had cleaned up he waited; he waited for Nick Fuso, the upstairs tenant, a young mechanic who worked in a garage in the neighborhood. Nick came in every morning around seven for twenty cents' worth of ham and a loaf of bread.But the front door opened and a girl of ten entered, her face pinched and eyes excited. His heart held no welcome for her."My mother says," she said quickly, "can you trust her till tomorrow for a pound of butter, loaf of rye bread and a small bottle of cider vinegar?"He knew the mother. "No more trust."The girl burst into tears.Morris gave her a quarter-pound of butter, the bread and vinegar. He found a penciled spot on the worn counter, near the cash register, and wrote a sum under "Drunk Woman." The total now came to $2.03, which he never hoped to see. But Ida would nag if she noticed a new figure, so he reduced the amount to $1.61. His peace--the little he lived with--was worth forty-two cents.He sat in a chair at the round wooden table in the rear of the store and scanned, with raised brows, yesterday's Jewish paper that he had already thoroughly read. From time to time he looked absently through the square windowless window cut through the wall, to see if anybody had by chance come into the store. Sometimes when he looked up from his newspaper, he was startled to see a customer standing silently at the counter.Now the store looked like a long dark tunnel.The grocer sighed and waited. Waiting he thought he did poorly. When times were bad time was bad. It died as he waited, stinking in his nose.A workman came in for a fifteen-cent can of King Oscar Norwegian sardines.Morris went back to waiting. In twenty-one years the store had changed little. Twice he had painted all over, once added new shelving. The old-fashioned double windows atthe front a carpenter had made into a large single one. Ten years ago the sign hanging outside fell to the ground but he had never replaced it. Once, when business hit a long good spell, he had had the wooden icebox ripped out and a new white refrigerated showcase put in. The showcase stood at the front in line with the old counter and he often leaned against it as he stared out of the window. Otherwise the store was the same. Years ago it was more a delicatessen; now, though he still sold a little delicatessen, it was more a poor grocery.A half-hour passed. When Nick Fuso failed to appear, Morris got up and stationed himself at the front window, behind a large cardboard display sign the beer people had rigged up in an otherwise empty window. After a while the hall door opened, and Nick came out in a thick, hand-knitted green sweater. He trotted around the corner and soon returned carrying a bag of groceries. Morris was now visible at the window. Nick saw the look on his face but didn't look long. He ran into the house, trying to make it seem it was the wind that was chasing him. The door slammed behind him, a loud door.The grocer gazed into the street. He wished fleetingly that he could once more be out in the open, as when he was a boy --never in the house, but the sound of the blustery wind frightened him. He thought again of selling the store but who would buy? Ida still hoped to sell. Every day she hoped. The thought caused him grimly to smile, although he did not feel like smiling. It was an impossible idea so he tried to put it out of his mind. Still, there were times when he went into the back, poured himself a spout of coffee and pleasantly thought of selling. Yet if he miraculously did, where would he go, where? He had a moment of uneasiness as he pictured himself without a roof over his head. There he stood in all kinds of weather, drenched in rain, and the snow froze on his head. No, not for an age had he lived a whole day in the open. As a boy, always running in the muddy, rutted streets of the village, or across the fields, or bathing withthe other boys in the river; but as a man, in America, he rarely saw the sky. In the early days when he drove a horse and wagon, yes, but not since his first store. In a store you were entombed.The milkman drove up to the door in his truck and hurried in, a bull, for his empties. He lugged out a caseful and returned with two half-pints of light cream. Then Otto Vogel, the meat provisions man, entered, a bushy-mustached German carrying a smoked liverwurst and string of wieners in his oily meat basket. Morris paid cash for the liverwurst; from a German he wanted no favors. Otto left with the wieners. The bread driver, new on the route, exchanged three fresh loaves for three stale and walked out without a word. Leo, the cake man, glanced hastily at the package cake on top of the refrigerator and called, "See you Monday, Morris."Morris didn't answer.Leo hesitated. "Bad all over, Morris.""Here is the worst.""See you Monday."A young housewife from close by bought sixty-three cents' worth; another came in for forty-one cents'. He had earned his first cash dollar for the day.Breitbart, the bulb peddler, laid down his two enormous cartons of light bulbs and diffidently entered the back."Go in," Morris urged. He boiled up some tea and served it in a thick glass, with a slice of lemon. The peddler eased himself into a chair, derby hat and coat on, and gulped the hot tea, his Adam's apple bobbing."So how goes now?" asked the grocer."Slow," shrugged Breitbart.Morris sighed. "How is your boy?"Breitbart nodded absently, then picked up the Jewish paper and read. After ten minutes he got up, scratched all over, lifted across his thin shoulders the two large cartons tied together with clothesline and left.Morris watched him go.The world suffers. He felt every schmerz.At lunchtime Ida came down. She had cleaned the whole house.Morris was standing before the faded couch, looking out of the rear window at the back yards. He had been thinking of Ephraim.His wife saw his wet eyes."So stop sometime, please." Her own grew wet.He went to the sink, caught cold water in his cupped palms and dipped his face into it."The Italyener," he said, drying himself, "bought this morning across the street."She was irritated. "Give him for twenty-nine dollars five rooms so he should spit in your face.""A cold water flat," he reminded her."You put in gas radiators.""Who says he spits? This I didn't say.""You said something to him not nice?""Me?""Then why he went across the street?""Why? Go ask him," he said angrily."How much you took in till now?""Dirt."She turned away.He absent-mindedly scratched a match and lit a cigarette."Stop with the smoking," she nagged.He took a quick drag, clipped the butt with his thumb nail and quickly thrust it under his apron into his pants pocket. The smoke made him cough. He coughed harshly, his face lit like a tomato. Ida held her hands over her ears. Finally he brought up a gob of phlegm and wiped his mouth with his handkerchief, then his eyes."Cigarettes," she said bitterly. "Why don't you listen what the doctor tells you?""Doctors," he remarked.Afterward he noticed the dress she was wearing. "What is the picnic?"Ida said, embarrassed, "I thought to myself maybe will come today the buyer."She was fifty-one, nine years younger than he, her thick hair still almost all black. But her face was lined, and her legs hurt when she stood too long on them, although she now wore shoes with arch supports. She had waked that morning resenting the grocer for having dragged her, so many years ago, out of a Jewish neighborhood into this. She missed to this day their old friends and landsleit--lost for parnusseh unrealized. That was bad enough, but on top of their isolation, the endless worry about money embittered her. She shared unwillingly the grocer's fate though she did not show it and her dissatisfaction went no farther than nagging--her guilt that she had talked him into a grocery store when he was in the first year of evening high school, preparing, he had said, for pharmacy. He was, through the years, a hard man to move. In the past she could sometimes resist him, but the weight of his endurance was too much for her now."A buyer," Morris grunted, "will come next Purim.""Don't be so smart. Karp telephoned him.""Karp," he said in disgust. "Where he telephoned--the cheapskate?""Here.""When?""Y... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Not one false moment mars George Guidall's resonant interpretation of the Pulitzer Prize winner's 1957 novel. With surprising lyricism and characteristic irony, the author writes of Frank, a young, Gentile nogoodnik, who comes to work for a Jewish ma-and-pa grocery in return for room and board. The family owners don't know that Frank was one of the thieves who previously robbed the place and clubbed Morris, the paterfamilias. For his part, Frank is at war with himself, ever vacillating between his good and brutal instincts. Guidall is totally in sync with this group, vividly portraying the inner life of each. He delivers the narrative with equal aplomb, making every moment seem effortlessly riveting. Y.R.Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award.

He rang up the sale on an old noisy cash register, smoothed and put away the bag the rolls had come in, finished pulling in the milk, and stored the bottles at the bottom of the refrigerator. He lit the gas radiator at the front of the store and went into the back to light the one there.He boiled up coffee in a blackened enamel pot and sippedit, chewing on a roll, not tasting what he was eating. After he had cleaned up he waited; he waited for Nick Fuso, the upstairs tenant, a young mechanic who worked in a garage in the neighborhood. Nick came in every morning around seven for twenty cents' worth of ham and a loaf of bread.But the front door opened and a girl of ten entered, her face pinched and eyes excited. His heart held no welcome for her."My mother says," she said quickly, "can you trust her till tomorrow for a pound of butter, loaf of rye bread and a small bottle of cider vinegar?"He knew the mother. "No more trust."The girl burst into tears.Morris gave her a quarter-pound of butter, the bread and vinegar. He found a penciled spot on the worn counter, near the cash register, and wrote a sum under "Drunk Woman." The total now came to $2.03, which he never hoped to see. But Ida would nag if she noticed a new figure, so he reduced the amount to $1.61. His peace--the little he lived with--was worth forty-two cents.He sat in a chair at the round wooden table in the rear of the store and scanned, with raised brows, yesterday's Jewish paper that he had already thoroughly read. From time to time he looked absently through the square windowless window cut through the wall, to see if anybody had by chance come into the store. Sometimes when he looked up from his newspaper, he was startled to see a customer standing silently at the counter.Now the store looked like a long dark tunnel.The grocer sighed and waited. Waiting he thought he did poorly. When times were bad time was bad. It died as he waited, stinking in his nose.A workman came in for a fifteen-cent can of King Oscar Norwegian sardines.Morris went back to waiting. In twenty-one years the store had changed little. Twice he had painted all over, once added new shelving. The old-fashioned double windows atthe front a carpenter had made into a large single one. Ten years ago the sign hanging outside fell to the ground but he had never replaced it. Once, when business hit a long good spell, he had had the wooden icebox ripped out and a new white refrigerated showcase put in. The showcase stood at the front in line with the old counter and he often leaned against it as he stared out of the window. Otherwise the store was the same. Years ago it was more a delicatessen; now, though he still sold a little delicatessen, it was more a poor grocery.A half-hour passed. When Nick Fuso failed to appear, Morris got up and stationed himself at the front window, behind a large cardboard display sign the beer people had rigged up in an otherwise empty window. After a while the hall door opened, and Nick came out in a thick, hand-knitted green sweater. He trotted around the corner and soon returned carrying a bag of groceries. Morris was now visible at the window. Nick saw the look on his face but didn't look long. He ran into the house, trying to make it seem it was the wind that was chasing him. The door slammed behind him, a loud door.The grocer gazed into the street. He wished fleetingly that he could once more be out in the open, as when he was a boy --never in the house, but the sound of the blustery wind frightened him. He thought again of selling the store but who would buy? Ida still hoped to sell. Every day she hoped. The thought caused him grimly to smile, although he did not feel like smiling. It was an impossible idea so he tried to put it out of his mind. Still, there were times when he went into the back, poured himself a spout of coffee and pleasantly thought of selling. Yet if he miraculously did, where would he go, where? He had a moment of uneasiness as he pictured himself without a roof over his head. There he stood in all kinds of weather, drenched in rain, and the snow froze on his head. No, not for an age had he lived a whole day in the open. As a boy, always running in the muddy, rutted streets of the village, or across the fields, or bathing withthe other boys in the river; but as a man, in America, he rarely saw the sky. In the early days when he drove a horse and wagon, yes, but not since his first store. In a store you were entombed.The milkman drove up to the door in his truck and hurried in, a bull, for his empties. He lugged out a caseful and returned with two half-pints of light cream. Then Otto Vogel, the meat provisions man, entered, a bushy-mustached German carrying a smoked liverwurst and string of wieners in his oily meat basket. Morris paid cash for the liverwurst; from a German he wanted no favors. Otto left with the wieners. The bread driver, new on the route, exchanged three fresh loaves for three stale and walked out without a word. Leo, the cake man, glanced hastily at the package cake on top of the refrigerator and called, "See you Monday, Morris."Morris didn't answer.Leo hesitated. "Bad all over, Morris.""Here is the worst.""See you Monday."A young housewife from close by bought sixty-three cents' worth; another came in for forty-one cents'. He had earned his first cash dollar for the day.Breitbart, the bulb peddler, laid down his two enormous cartons of light bulbs and diffidently entered the back."Go in," Morris urged. He boiled up some tea and served it in a thick glass, with a slice of lemon. The peddler eased himself into a chair, derby hat and coat on, and gulped the hot tea, his Adam's apple bobbing."So how goes now?" asked the grocer."Slow," shrugged Breitbart.Morris sighed. "How is your boy?"Breitbart nodded absently, then picked up the Jewish paper and read. After ten minutes he got up, scratched all over, lifted across his thin shoulders the two large cartons tied together with clothesline and left.Morris watched him go.The world suffers. He felt every schmerz.At lunchtime Ida came down. She had cleaned the whole house.Morris was standing before the faded couch, looking out of the rear window at the back yards. He had been thinking of Ephraim.His wife saw his wet eyes."So stop sometime, please." Her own grew wet.He went to the sink, caught cold water in his cupped palms and dipped his face into it."The Italyener," he said, drying himself, "bought this morning across the street."She was irritated. "Give him for twenty-nine dollars five rooms so he should spit in your face.""A cold water flat," he reminded her."You put in gas radiators.""Who says he spits? This I didn't say.""You said something to him not nice?""Me?""Then why he went across the street?""Why? Go ask him," he said angrily."How much you took in till now?""Dirt."She turned away.He absent-mindedly scratched a match and lit a cigarette."Stop with the smoking," she nagged.He took a quick drag, clipped the butt with his thumb nail and quickly thrust it under his apron into his pants pocket. The smoke made him cough. He coughed harshly, his face lit like a tomato. Ida held her hands over her ears. Finally he brought up a gob of phlegm and wiped his mouth with his handkerchief, then his eyes."Cigarettes," she said bitterly. "Why don't you listen what the doctor tells you?""Doctors," he remarked.Afterward he noticed the dress she was wearing. "What is the picnic?"Ida said, embarrassed, "I thought to myself maybe will come today the buyer."She was fifty-one, nine years younger than he, her thick hair still almost all black. But her face was lined, and her legs hurt when she stood too long on them, although she now wore shoes with arch supports. She had waked that morning resenting the grocer for having dragged her, so many years ago, out of a Jewish neighborhood into this. She missed to this day their old friends and landsleit--lost for parnusseh unrealized. That was bad enough, but on top of their isolation, the endless worry about money embittered her. She shared unwillingly the grocer's fate though she did not show it and her dissatisfaction went no farther than nagging--her guilt that she had talked him into a grocery store when he was in the first year of evening high school, preparing, he had said, for pharmacy. He was, through the years, a hard man to move. In the past she could sometimes resist him, but the weight of his endurance was too much for her now."A buyer," Morris grunted, "will come next Purim.""Don't be so smart. Karp telephoned him.""Karp," he said in disgust. "Where he telephoned--the cheapskate?""Here.""When?""Y... --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Not one false moment mars George Guidall's resonant interpretation of the Pulitzer Prize winner's 1957 novel. With surprising lyricism and characteristic irony, the author writes of Frank, a young, Gentile nogoodnik, who comes to work for a Jewish ma-and-pa grocery in return for room and board. The family owners don't know that Frank was one of the thieves who previously robbed the place and clubbed Morris, the paterfamilias. For his part, Frank is at war with himself, ever vacillating between his good and brutal instincts. Guidall is totally in sync with this group, vividly portraying the inner life of each. He delivers the narrative with equal aplomb, making every moment seem effortlessly riveting. Y.R.Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award.

Equality U

Director Dave O'Brien followed a group of gay activist college students on a nationwide tour of campuses with anti-gay mindsets. I particularly like the way that O'Brien depicts moments of high conflict in a sturdy, unblinking and nonsentimental way. --Fresno BeeWill surprise even a viewer who has seen scores of documentaries about gay culture... Director Dave O'Brien saves the most potent gesture for last: Brigham Young University....

The final section of the film, at Brigham Young University, is unforgettable. --Creative Loafing TampaEQUALITY U... will surprise even a viewer who has seen scores of documentaries about gay culture.... Director Dave O'Brien saves the most potent gesture for last: Brigham Young University.... The Equality Riders stare it down with courage, dignity and dare we say? grace. --Austin360Not to be missed! --Out in Palm Beach Jake Reitan Equality Ride Co-Director While Jake was a student at Northwestern University, he met a young man from Wheaton, a Christian college near Chicago, and was taken aback by what this young man had to say. If people at Wheaton discovered he was gay, he would be expelled from school. Jake was shocked to learn that not only is it against Wheaton school policy to be openly gay, but, in fact, hundreds of colleges across the country have a similar policy. Something needed to be done, so he approached Soulforce about creating the Equality Ride. Jake is an intense, passionate, outspoken leader who never backs down from a fight. But will his passion for justice motivate those around him, or will he alienate them by being overzealous? Haven Herrin Equality Ride Co-Director Haven s own spirituality differs from many riders in that she believes in a mix of Christianity and Buddhism. Her experience of growing up in a progressive family outside Dallas, Texas gives her a unique perspective on the challenges the riders will face. An artist by training rather than an activist, she approaches people and situations thoughtfully and carefully, bringing a calm, gentle poise to her role. However, her lack of leadership experience often leaves her self-conscious about her own abilities. Dave O'Brien's work as a director and producer has screened at film festivals worldwide and on television in the United States and Canada. His first documentary, Hip Hop Homos, was created while earning his MFA at University of Southern California s School of Cinema-Television. It screened at the Frameline Film Festival, New York s NewFest, London Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, Fusion: LA s Gay and Lesbian People of Color Film Festival and Silverlake Film Festival among others. The film was broadcast on television on CBC Canada's Zed network and MTV's LOGO network as part of the Real Momentum series. Dave's music video directing work includes the first video for lesbian rapper God-des (entitled Love You Better) that premiered on LOGO in early 2006. Dave is also an experienced producer with numerous short films and music videos to his credit, including Eating, an official selection of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival. Dave recently completed an Academy Of Television Arts And Sciences mentorship with director Michael Lange on Fox s The O.C. and was profiled in the Hollywood Reporter. Equality U is a feature-length documentary following a group of 33 young activists on the Soulforce Equality Ride, a first of its kind, two-month, cross country tour to confront discrimination policies at 19 (out of more than 200) colleges where you can be kicked out of school simply for being gay. It's a compelling, human story about young people standing up for what they believe is right. Incorporating verite footage, interviews, and personal video journals recorded by the six central Riders themselves, Equality U focuses on the personal stories of our lead characters and the journeys they take during this foray into activism. The story comes through their eyes. They'll make mistakes and they'll have conflict with the outside world and amongst themselves. Equality U looks closely at their personal struggles over the course of the entire tour, allowing us an intimate portrait of a group of young people on the forefront of social change.

Nylon 6/6 Machine Screw, Binding Head, Slotted Drive, #4-40, 1-1/4" Length (Pack of 25)

Machine Screws, also referred to as Machine Bolts, are often used with nuts or driven into tapped holes. They come in a variety of head types and drive styles, but are generally available in smaller sizes.Nylon 6/6 is a general purpose thermoplastic with outstanding resistance to organic chemicals, acids and alkalis. Nylon wears well against other surfaces; it is readily machinable and may be milled, turned and cut with conventional machine tools. It does exhibit some dimensional swelling in wet applications which should be taken into account with its use. Tensile strength of this material is 12,000 psi (pounds per square inch).Generally used in electrical or radio work, these fasteners are slightly undercut under the head. That provides the ability to bind stranded wire tightly and prevent fraying. Common applications for slotted screws include woodworking, although the drive style is not designed to be used with power drivers. A threaded fastener's size name includes information about the major external diameter, followed by the threads per inch, which indicates if it is coarse or fine. Coarse threads are better when working with brittle materials; they are sturdier and are easier to thread and unthread compared to fine. Coarse threading also allows for thicker coatings and platings.

Drumsolo's Delight

On his second outing as Strategy, West Coast DJ and multi-instrumentalist Paul Dicklow moves toward a structured thematic that combines live dub mixology, super digitronic spatial enhancement, and a shimmering, nearly invisible sense of conscious ambience to produce a recording more subtle but simultaneously present than its predecessor, Strut. "Cascadian Night," is a an exercise in hissy glissando that creates the aura of barely discernible space before opening onto the slightly more physical laptop emptiness of "Super She Wolf Inna City." But it is on the title track that dub-ology, spectral techno, and ambient bliss caress and create a mimetic chill groove together. As the slippery techno fades from the fore, and overlaid laptop beats and percolating electronic and organic polyrhythmic ideas enter, the entire track becomes something other, fully layered, dense in its vastness yet decidedly non-physical in its language and presence. When the synth pop keyboards emanate from the mix, seemingly out of the blue, the listener is dislocated enough to just abandon the notion of actual listening to the totality of experiential connection. And so it goes, elemental sounds and rhythms couple, separate, undulate, and transform themselves into others, circulating throughout the nocturnal bliss of this set that is as much a delight as it is a cipher. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
