Review of the Appointment
This is without doubt the best book I've read this year. It portrays with brutal clarity the challenges of surviving under a corrupt and repressive Communist regime (one of the v. worst in Romania) in which no one -- not even your nearest and dearest friends or lovers can be trusted not to betray you to the authorities for the pettiest transgression from the official "party line." The book reflects the direct experience of the author herself who was ostracized and punished in other ways for refusing to spy on her work colleagues for the "secret police."The book ends with a shocking denouement that shows that in such a regime, you can only trust yourself - no one else!Author fully deserved to win the Nobel Prize. Hope she writes more soon!

surreal love in a dictatorship
Ceaucescu's Romania is smothered in paranoiac uncertainty in this chilling novel of friends who must disavow each other in public and lovers who cannot be certain who the other person really is. Identities are obscure; histories untrustworthy; employers witlessly duped by the security forces who are implacable and cunning. This is a dark but very poetic novel of helplessness and struggle to maintain sanity in an insane world. The poetry is a dark shroud over a dead land. The border curtains are not iron; they are lead, guarded by village boys who shoot to win a week's vacation or a promotion and leave dead bodies and suitcases for farmers to plow under. Or else as luck may have it, they are returned to their village in zinc coffins welded shut at the family's expense and guarded so that the ravaged bodies cannot be described. This is a world none of us wants to experience and we can be grateful that Herta Mueller has survived it to reveal what we never want to know for...

Product Description

From the winner of the IMPAC Award and the 2009 Nobel Prize in Literature, a fierce and devastating novel about a young woman's discovery of betrayal in the most intimate reaches of her life

"I've been summoned. Thursday, ten sharp." Thus begins a day in the life of a young factory worker during Ceausescu's totalitarian regime. She has been questioned before; this time, she believes, will be worse. Her crime? Sewing notes into the linings of men's suits bound for Italy. "Marry me," the notes say, with her name and address. Anything to get out of Romania.

As each tram stop brings the young woman closer to the appointment, her thoughts stray to her father and his infidelities; to her friend Lilli, shot trying to flee to Hungary; to her grandparents, deported after her own husband informed on them; and to Paul, her lover, her one source of trust despite his drunkenness. In her distraction, she misses her stop and finds herself on an unfamiliar street. And what she discovers there makes her fear of the interrogation pale by comparison.

Bone-spare and intense, The Appointment powerfully renders the humiliating terrors of a crushing regime and its corrosive effects on family and friendship, sex and love.

From the winner of the IMPAC Award and the Nobel Prize, a fierce novel about a young Romanian woman's discovery of betrayal in the most intimate reaches of her life

"I've been summoned. Thursday, ten sharp." Thus begins one day in the life of a young clothing-factory worker during Ceaucescu's totalitarian regime. She has been questioned before; this time, she believes, will be worse. Her crime? Sewing notes into the linings of men's suits bound for Italy. "Marry me," the notes say, with her name and address. Anything to get out of the country.

As she rides the tram to her interrogation, her thoughts stray to her friend Lilli, shot trying to flee to Hungary, to her grandparents, deported after her first husband informed on them, to Major Albu, her interrogator, who begins each session with a wet kiss on her fingers, and to Paul, her lover, her one source of trust, despite his constant drunkenness. In her distraction, she misses her stop to find herself on an unfamiliar street. And what she discovers there makes her fear of the appointment pale by comparison.

Herta Müller pitilessly renders the humiliating terrors of a crushing regime. Bone-spare and intense, The Appointment confirms her standing as one of Europe's greatest writers.

Product Description

This story features a newspaper woman who is writing anti-God editorials. One day a mysterious visitor comes to her office with a message from the Lord. He tells her that on September 19th at 6:05pm she is going to die. Is this a hoax? Or the truth? She has eight days left...and the suspense begins. This film gives a powerful presentation of the gospel and is very evangelistic! (39 min.) Top to learn more

The Appointment
Just imagine a man coming to your place of employment and stating, "(fill in your name here), I have a message for you. It's from the Lord. In eight days, on September 19th at 6:05 P.M. YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!" What would you do? Would you think it's a hoax? Or would you go along with life as if you never heard it?Although this DVD is pretty short 39 minutes, I found it to be an excellent evangelistic tool. There's nothing scary about it at all. Just realistic!The woman that the angel appeared to told her that she was privy to informaton or revelation that others don't normally receive. Death is certain and no one knows when their time will come. He also told her that the answers were found in the Bible. Did she read the Bible for the answers or did she continue to ignore his warnings?I cannot say that the angel's warning was far-fetched at all. Many patriochs in the Bible knew that they had finished their course and prepared their...

Works Great on Kindle Fire
Compared with two other free calendar apps I tried on the Kindle Fire, I liked this one the best. I also tried using the Hand Calendar and the Note Calendar, which I did not like. The Fliq Calendar app is easier to to use and there are no "free adds" to deal with. I would like this calendar better if events and appointments were visible on the month view. I have a lot of birthday reminders to schedule, and these reoccurring events were a little tedious to set up. Now that I have the dates input, it should be easy to maintain. I especially like the Agenda view. The calendar appears to function through December 2099. I haven't tried to sync this calendar app with any calendars on my other devices, so I can't comment on the sync function.

disappointingly changed
I really enjoyed all the earlier seasons of these David Suchet Poirot mysteries, but in this episode plus some other later ones I've seen, Poirot has had a personality change. He tends to be shrill and loud whereas in earlier episodes he was more often gentle and quiet. This goes along with the overall tone of the production. It seems as if it was decided that the Poirot mysteries had to be like every other show on TV in the last several years which is nerve screechingly dramatic and tense. I loved the more subtle cerebral tone of the older ones and I wish they hadn't changed it.

Disappointment with Death
I, too, was disappointed in the drastic changes to the storyline in this version. What was the matter with the way Christie wrote it? The characters were totally different, including unnecessary additions (the nun, Lord Boynton) and the plot was barely recognizable. The nervous downtrodden children of Mrs Boynton (Lady Boynton in this version) are portrayed very differently in this rendition and don't seem to fear her much at all. And they made her character some sort of financial mover and shaker, which contradicts her pathetic failure to dominate a larger sphere that is central to the original version. Finally, why could the story not have taken place in Petra as it did in the book? (I was looking forward to the scenery.) I thought Suchet's portrayal of Poirot was good, as always, and to be fair, perhaps if I did not know the book, I would have enjoyed this movie on its own terms.

Decent Cable
I've been using this cable for about a week now and it is working as advertised on my iPhone 3GS 16Gb. I'm running the 4.3.3 update on my phone right now using this cable and it's working great! Charge times are about the same as with the original Apple cable. It is a true 6', plus connectors for those that need the extra inches. The look and feel is very much like the original, only longer. The only difference I can see is that the cable jacket has a grayish tone instead of stark white like the Apple one is, the connectors are identical (even has the markings).All in all it's a decent cable that I would recommend to anyone needing a longer cable.

Later, we went to buy some fabric so I could repair a dress J likes a lot. In the evening, J went by bus to meet L, while I went to do laundry, since I haven't had much chance to tinker with our washer, which is out of action. The appointment itself went just fine, and we had validated parking. This morning "J" and I had an early appointment. In the afternoon, we had two more appointments, nice and close to home.
