Nighthawk Carbon Monoxide Error 888

Order Run like Hell

What better time to talk about the books we read in the holidays The first days of autumn, when the light fades slowly, the herald of coming cold. Come moments of seclusion and silence, and wield some days off to re-sit or lie down, and read again several books in one sitting. In the summer we did outdoors, looking a shadow and a soft drink, in winter we will do so seeking refuge from the heat. Meanwhile, during the fall, we will read one of those books bound useful for our work. Books marked by the obligation. Reading books bursts, fast at times and stopped and thorough in others. Books that we wear yourself out, ultimately. There are times when it should plan the escape. Hence appropriate to look back and remember those novels that made us forget reality for a moment. All seek to teach something more than human and the time he has lived, but in so doing by the fiction gives us comfort to know that all the darkness that show can be trapped, as if to close the book would close the Pandora's box.

In a week I read seven books. Without stopping, abandoned to the pleasure of escape into fiction. Passed one after another, all excellent. A moment that can only be repeated during the holidays. To be repeated in the winter. I am compelled to repeat.

The confines , Andrew Trapiello . It was a reading, strictly speaking, but a rereading. Without doubt, the best English novel published in recent years. And I do not tire of repeating the title more beautiful than I remember. Told from the ends, the players catch up thanks to a love pure and clean. So pure and clean that it is incomprehensible to others, and that transcends their own lives. The derived characters of, finally, an amazing story of redemption. [ Buy the book ]

The imbroglio of Jim Thompson. The more accurate title I've ever seen. The novel is a mess from the first paragraph, where in a room described as naked, without even a chair, appears apropos. The anxious uncertainty and apparent improbability with which the book is written makes it extremely attractive.

A tourist in Tahiti , of Georges Simenon. Possibly the least known of Simenon books. Just take a look on google. Like all his own, excellent. The febrile atmosphere of his novels Parisian moved intact the island of Tahiti, where a foreigner comes to stay. A murder, some assumptions and a microcosm of characters paralyzed by the climate and the static routine.

high window of Raymond Chandler. One of my first forays into English-language thriller. Years ago I began casually with the French. Soon I focused almost exclusively on the English and the dirty brush that painted the unsettling years of transition. Marlowe I imagined so vulnerable. It was a delight to read this novel.

The Glass Key, of Dashiell Hammett. Hammett has become a myth to me. I needed just two novels. If, as my friend Calaza Pepin, a novel has to teach something of the human soul and how long they will live, the Hammett reach perfection. One more willingly join in reading when you know something of the life of this ingenious drunk and her lover, Lillian Hellman, who walked by our civil war as a journalist. The novel's protagonist, a smart guy and a drunkard, puts friendship above honor. Would have to see what's Hammett in Miller's Crossing, the Coen.

The Thin Man Of Dashiell Hammett . I laughed out loud at the dialogue of this major novel. The characters are a perfect marriage, which no longer surprising. Trying to find out the whereabouts of the thin man despite efforts to put some quirky characters that do not succeed.

A pedigree of Patrick Modiano. The calm, thoroughness and accuracy of this author run together the beat summer slump that so pleasurable. Modiano I read through the recommendation of Melancholy Ruffian, a regular at the library, and I thank him publicly.


The pirate song from Fernando Quiñones. One of the books in my life. As in that first, it is a rereading. A masterful novel that combines tradition with the novel's picaresque travels and adventures of the seventeenth-century English soldiers. A careful language to the more subtle detail, and perfectly intelligible. Deserves separate entry in this library of losses and fluctuations.

Persecution and hunting of rare books and lost:

by Marina Pino

Unlike collector, which holds for treasure, the specialist chooses only the works necessary for their work, ignoring the trash and the amount how happy are the first. Among the works that the specialist should have no excuse Casanova is the legendary edition in twelve volumes of the Memoirs de La Sirène, Paris 1924-1935, which is sometimes found in bookstores at ludicrous prices, incomplete or volumes broken, or missing at all.

For my work on Casanova, I had to crawl by libraries and archives, suffering the modern torture painless way constitute its rules, a compendium of prohibitions, restrictions and injustices that seem designed by a bibliomaniac ready to defend his treasure swashbuckling any foreign curiosity. The twelve volumes distilled volume by volume, the secular rate of reserve rooms without further working tool than a pen as mine runs out or breaks and a few pages, under the watchful eye of the jailer on duty.

time Let's go to Casanova and absolute counterpart, the Marquis de Sade. Seven years, seven, my quest has lasted, persecution and hunting of the third volume of the biography of the Marquis, Jean-Jacques Pauvert, under the generic title Sade vivant. The first was purchased in 2000 in the library Lance Gilbert Jeune, from the Place Saint Michel in Paris, because the issue had for many years. The second volume was found in the same library and charity two years later, quite dirty, but full. Which has resisted the truth has been the third, which chronicles the historic release of Sade in the Bastille and his enthusiastic introduction to the Revolution (after loss of his novel The one hundred twenty days of Sodom , collection of soil by a revolutionary and ended in time in the hands of the typical Swiss collector. Sade bitterly regretted the loss all his life. He had been writing in secret, small pieces of paper that was sticking on a continuous roll in the manner of a roll of toilet paper, hiding in a box and never recovered. Today is a literary landmark and a premonition of mass production that would come later. Car or for pleasure, it matters).


Seven years of research and hopes to join the time of the release of Sade with his allegiance to the section of Spades, one of the most extremist of revolutionary Paris.

This time, however, the volume has come from the Place Saint Martin, but a particular via the Internet. Why someone has exactly the third volume of his biography de Sade and not the three volumes, or the first, which is what we bought them all before realizing that we are not interested to bear the whole lot? The important thing is that the individual had the mythical third. The price dropped, postage included from Paris. The book, in paperback, clean, but with the tail so parched that will defoliate as I bury myself in the fascinating facts of Count Marquis Donatien François de Sade Aldonse now become a Citizen Sade to dry, forcing me to take rushed to saddle in the middle reading.

not matter because, even with twenty years late, just arrived, also via internet, the legendary edition of La Sirène with Memoirs of Casanova. Edit highly acclaimed at the time because it contained an important critical apparatus and a profusion of illustrations, all very useful for Casanova of the time, waiting to know the real Casanova's original, which was not published until 1960, 162 years after the death of the Venetian! It is that the siren could not publish more than the rewritten version, doctored and censored Jean Laforgue made to the publisher Brockhaus of Leipzig, then in Weisbaden, owner of the original manuscript but, as I say, with significant added materials.

Siren also very dry to be a mermaid, if I get the joke. Creaks and threatens to spread in convenient booklets, but restoring it would double its price, which would be the bargain it is. Best left on display as an object of worship and more than exceeded but insurmountable.

I return, then, Sade restored by three euros to continue, with the help of Pauvert most devout and erudite, with the story of the man who was "thrown up" by all schemes under which they lived, outside the Old Regime, the Bonapartism revolution or, more to his writing that facts or specific offenses and prosecutable. Pauvert vision of which is fine because it lies between the San Sade of the Surrealists and the Infernal Sade of Catholics, which is certainly true is closer to Sade.

Casanova de Sade to Milena Letters to Mary


By Reinhard


Discuss Margarete Buber-Neumann is to narrate the history of the KPD (German Communist Party) in the interwar period, apparently gutting a compact body and found to be a drama full of intrigue, injuries and seams, heroes and villains, dead and wounded in the Nazi lager, executioners and victims coming within the same rows as Heinz Neumann, German Communist leader and husband of Margarete, who disappeared in Moscow after purging, or Willi Münzenberg found dead in France while fleeing the Nazis and Soviet agents and was married to Babette Gross, the author's sister. After his arrest in Moscow in 1937 and by virtue of the secret clauses of the pact between Stalin and Hitler, Buber-Neumann, spent the gulag of Siberia to the Ravensbrück concentration camp, where he remained until his release after the end of the war, leaving witness in several works, as Prisoner of Stalin and Hitler or Deported to Siberia. In Milena, and with the same direct and forceful style of previous works, fast and gritty and needs of the plot, the author recounts his stay in the Nazi camp and the relationship of friendship which he engages with Milena Jesenská, Czech writer and journalist and former communist who had maintained a relationship as strange as brief and intense with Franz Kafka, a platonic love than real founded on a mutual correspondence that would eventually see the light, after the death of two, in the Letters to Milena .


The play, always presented as warm and sincere tribute to Milena Jesenská tribute, a promise before she died, is divided into two distinct parts. The first recounts the life of Milena until his arrest in Prague in 1939, its beginnings in journalism and politics, almost simultaneously, and always against the wishes of a despotic father and bourgeois to the core, their relationship with Kafka in Prague's cultural ferment, and also, among other characters of the period, Max Brod, executor of the writer, and Willy Haas, who deliver Milena Kafka's letters before his arrest by the Gestapo, but also the vibrant story and out of the Communist Party-there relationship with Milena trabaría Julius Fucik, author of Feature at the foot of the gallows - after several years of fighting militancy that could not withstand the disappointment caused by Stalinism and its practices macabre farce of a system that was evident in Moscow trials and whose consequences led to Margarete Buber to the field of Karaganda and Heinz Neumann to a death that left no trace. But no doubt the relationship between Kafka and Milena the axis on which turns this part of the book, either through their own confessions to the author, either by reproducing the correspondence between them. A relationship as intense but fleeting letters in the physical and that starts with the translation into Czech Milena some writings of Kafka and is nipped in the bud by the writer in a further sign of fatalism that always accompanied him, test a strange personality that feels so fascinated Milena as worried as subjugated and fearful that the end all die and so, as a story of Franz, the man who wrote as he lived, surrounded by his asceticism as a single individual as the most honest would describe the newspaper obituary that he Milena dedicated to his death and which defined, in a passage full of emotion, as it really was a visionary, the kind of men who support their entire disease burden of his inner angst, too wise to learn to live and too weak to fight, I treasured a knowledge of men and expresses only occurs in those who live solitary ascetics whose nerves are extremely sensitive to capture whole person through a mere gesture . From that vantage point works perfectly describe the horror hidden errors and unearned guilt of being human.


The second part describes the life and death in Ravensbrück, the struggle for survival in the different circles of hell, for the cruelty of the guards and the prison regime, hunger and disease, are linked in many contempt cases the Communist prisoners, authentic kapos the field, as manifested by those Grete and Milena orthodoxy had long ago abandoned the wisdom and foresight that predicted, long before Soviet tanks across the Oder, the new slavery to fall over much of Europe when the race finishing. A political harmony, the disappointment following the failure of utopia, which is already reflected in the first chapter, which recounts a night stand between the two protagonists to the newcomer, Margarete, count the reality of Stalin's Russia, and resulting in a deep friendship that only end with the death of Milena, seriously ill since the time of Prague. The portrait that Buber-Neumann trace Milena, with direct and polished prose that characterizes and evoking the writer Evgenia Ginzburg and Vertigo, is a fascinating woman, so simple in their gestures and in their fragile and delicate beauty, remains almost intact despite the harsh conditions, disease and poor nutrition, with enormous powers of persuasion to put on the ropes to his executioners, who owns a firm in his convictions that will captivate most of companions, but especially Grete, which starts the promise of writing a book that portrays the inferno, which describes the friendship born in him, and that the author met and exceeded in this work, offering a small but accurate biography the woman who captured the genius of Prague, Czech he wrote in German.

How To Customise My Bicycle

systemic vision of revenue model 2.0

so pretentious title was all I could manage to remain true to my policy of not writing anything that takes longer than 20 minutes (after have thought a week). Recent announcements
sales Twitter, the monumental Facebook bids and purchase multi-million youtube are three examples of how value emerges as a system property. None of the small facebook groups themselves would never offer similar to the one given at the time to Zuckeberg . In these places are the components of a system within their emergent properties is self-organizing power of the mass (I recommend Kevin Kelly on this subject.) It's amazing that none of these organizations to produce a single dollar. At least youtube loses 1, 65 million dollars a day and Twitter donaciones.Son remains economically unproductive or destructive systems of professional value, actual holdings of idleness (as opposed to business, as would JGC) that are created with no revenue model, but by the grace of their emergent properties charge astronomical values \u200b\u200bfor organizations eager to suscriptores.Es completely counterintuitive. Perform a venture that looks good, but whose operation does not produce economic benefits, and became rich once the sale Evan Williams of Blogger and possibly make with Twitter. If Web 2.0 is marked by the character of communities working then the profitability can not come from any place other than emergent properties of systems (communities). Find out how to create profitable for other communities can become the model with which collaboration becomes utilidades.Es, if there is some truth in this argument, at some point we will be sold as part of a social system address . If you think I exaggerate, look at the Facebook attempt to win the intellectual property of all content uploaded by the 200 million that the romantic usuarios.Será Web 2.0, the dream of the liberalization of the information, the great society knowledge co-constructed by all to be converted into a common marketplace of communities?

Two seasoned
archivists have moved to Toulouse to delve into the past and recover what is hidden behind the shadow and the legend of Pedro García León, one of many exiles who left Spain to end the civil war.

Maite Garcia and Luis E. Parés have created a blog that charts the course of this search.


"Letters to Mary" is a documentary project Maite Garcia and Luis E. Parés trying to recover the traces of Pedro García León, one among the hundreds of thousands of English who crossed the Pyrenees in 1939, however, Maite García's grandfather, the shadow and the legend that she was very familiar memory, the echo that has not stopped ever heard.

On February 10, 1939 crossed the French border linking its fate to the hundreds of thousands of English. In France entered into numerous concentration camps and died in 1943 after Allied bombing in Bordeaux, barely a month after your release the last of the fields.
