The family's rootlessn ess weighs most heavily on eldest son Will\, secretly adopted after a mater nity ward mixup goes horribly awry\, who feels the odd man out in the face of his constantly changing surroundings and the preternatural solidarity of his twin brothers. Hagen\, a screenwriter and first-time novelist\, makes the story a coming-of-age saga and familial drama\, often comic in tone but also full of tragedy: car crashes\, a kidnapping\, death and dismemberment . As the Laments give up their privileged status under apartheid and eventu ally settle for downward mobility in the crass American suburbs\, Hagan mak es their wanderings and expatriate identity crises a commentary on the vexe d legacy of British colonialism. The narrative sometimes slows to allow the Laments to hash out their liberal politics\, and some sketchily drawn char acters (Lament's son Julius is memorable largely for his un-self-conscious masturbatory rituals) die when their plot assignments are completed. Hagen pokes fun at Albion's seed with comic clichés-the Rhodesians are racist Col onel Blimps\, the English are soccer thugs\, the Americans are conformists\ , religious zealots or strident New Leftists. The Laments themselves\, sadd led with the melancholy of postimperial decline\, are a spirited but slight ly sad lot who wish for better lives. This is a funny\, touching novel abou t the meaning of family\, with an oddly high body count. \n\nFrom School Li brary Journal\nAdult/High School–The Lament family has a secret. Will is no t the jolly\, glowing baby born to Julia and Howard in Rhodesia during the 1950s. He is the weak\, transparent preemie abandoned by his distraught mot her when she kidnapped the Lament infant from the maternity ward. When the woman and child die in an automobile accident\, the attending physician per suades the stunned Laments to pretend the abandoned child is theirs\, and t ake him home. For the Laments\, home is more a goal than a place. Soon Will \, his younger twin brothers\, and his parents begin a series of disastrous moves. Idealistic and impractical engineer Howard longs for a career that will make full use of his inventive genius. Artistic\, progressive Julia wa nts a perfect community. Leaving a prosperous situation in Rhodesia\, the f amily follows Howard as he accepts ultimately unsatisfactory jobs around th e world. Will minds the uprooting more than the others do as the family mov es from Africa to Bahrain to England to the U.S.\, and his struggle to make a place for himself is complicated by the family's downward economic spira l. Since much of the focus of the story is on hormone-driven teenage boys\, the language and situations are often crude and sexually oriented. Despite a surprising number of bizarre tragedies\, the book is full of humor\, and the gradual development of the characters leads to a plausible and satisfy ing conclusion.–Kathy Tewell\, Chantilly Regional Library\, VA\n\n\nFrom Th e Washington Post\nThis amiable if decidedly inconsequential book is being published with a good deal more huzzah than generally attends the release o f a first novel by an unknown author. ("The Laments is our biggest novel of the summer\," says the publisher's press release.) The Laments does bear a certain resemblance to John Irving's hugely successful The World According to Garp -- a story about a peculiar but appealing family\, strange and vio lent things happening to children\, people soldiering on despite life's inh erent unfairness -- but no mention of these similarities is made in promoti onal material for the book\, so apparently it will be left to the reader to figure out what the fuss summer") is all about. \nGeorge Hagen\, now in hi s mid-forties\, was born in Zimbabwe (then still known as Rhodesia)\, event ually moving along to England\, New Jersey and Los Angeles. He worked in th is last as a screenwriter\, though the only George Hagen who turns up in th e Internet Movie Database was an actor who played the role of Wladek the Mi ghty in a 1933 film called "The Way to Love\," starring the redoubtable Mau rice Chevalier. Whatever. Hagen is an agreeable prose stylist with a nice\, quiet sense of humor and a finely developed understanding of human frailty and eccentricity. The Laments reads smoothly and pleasantly\, perhaps beca use there's so little weight to it. \n\nThe story begins in South Africa in the 1950s with the birth of a son\, their first child\, to Howard and Juli a Lament. In the same hospital a woman named Mary Boyd has given birth to a premature child\, also a boy\, who is in an incubator. The doctor gets the idea that her low morale might be improved if she were permitted to nurse the Laments' baby\, to which they reluctantly accede. Of course Mary Boyd f alls in love with the baby -- the Laments haven't settled on a name for him -- and attempts to abduct him. As they leave the hospital she\, her husban d and the infant are all killed in an auto crash. \n\nSo the doctor\, playi ng God -- or Mephistopheles\, depending on one's point of view -- persuades the Laments to take the Boyd baby\, and rigs the paperwork to make it appe ar he is their natural child. Heartsick and angry at the doctor's meddling\ , they succumb nonetheless to his insistence that "life deals tragedy and o pportunity in equal measures\," that "only the brave and generous of heart prevail\, and only the timid walk away from life's second chances." They ta ke the baby and name him Will\, "because only a child with a will of astoni shing fortitude could have survived such a sad beginning." \n\nThus begins a picaresque tale that takes the little family -- eventually augmented by t win boys named Marcus and Julius -- from South Africa to Rhodesia to Bahrai n to England to New Jersey. Howard wants to be on the move: "He wasn't goin g to be like his father\, living in the same house his whole life\; no\, he and Julia were going to see the world like the other Laments. There was th e Lament who sailed with Cook to the South Pacific\; and Great-grandfather Frederick Lament\, who arrived in South Africa in 1899 and started the firs t bicycle shop in Grahamstown. Howard's two older sisters had followed thei r husbands to Australia\; and his cousin Neville always sent postcards from his trips to Patagonia and Nepal. To be a Lament was to travel." \n\nWill\ , as he grows into adolescence\, sees it a bit differently: "To be a Lament was to be a perpetual stranger." In every place to which it moves\, the fa mily doesn't quite fit. Howard's career in engineering\, which began with g reat hopes and ambitions -- "It was Howard's dream to design a purification system as magnificent as the Roman aqueducts. A system in which water pass ed through a complex series of enlarging and diminishing valves using only gravity as a propellant" -- slowly dwindles into frustration and disappoint ment. The visionary (or lunatic) who lures him to the United States vanishe s\, and he is without a job. The "man who'd once planned to irrigate the Sa hara" now putters around the house\, doing odd jobs badly and feeling sorry for himself. \n\nJulia\, outspoken and competent\, loves her husband but\, remembering how he had once "seemed so brilliant and knowledgeable\," now realizes that she will have to take matters into her own hands. Not merely are there three children to care for -- faithful\, sweet-tempered Will\, th e mischievous twins -- but there are bills to be paid\, and the credit card s are maxed out. She gets a job\, struggles to master it and restores a mea sure of balance to the family. All along\, she and Howard "believed that th ey shared the same course\, and followed the same stars." \n\nMeantime Will is trying to figure out who he is. Literally\, in the sense that he doesn' t look like his parents or brothers (he is "the solitary son between two co uples") and therefore wonders if he is in fact adopted\; figuratively as we ll as literally\, in the sense that his identity has been blurred by the fa mily's ceaseless wandering and the adjustments he must constantly make to n ew places and strange people. He sees his family as fragile and vulnerable\ , and assumes a nurse-like protectiveness toward it\; he is "so obsessed wi th keeping the family together that he can't think about his own future." \ n\nHe is powerfully drawn to girls but doesn't quite know what to do around them and goes through a succession of somewhat improbable attachments. One \, to a girl named Sally\, ends when the family leaves England for New Jers ey. Another\, to Marina\, ends when the Laments' fortunes take another slid e and they have to move to a less expensive house a few miles away. Another \, to a flower child named Dawn\, ends when Will at last figures out that s he's a manipulative\, selfish little pill. Not until Minna comes along does he get things more or less right\, permitting the book to close on a moder ately happy note\, albeit one that leaves matters more hanging than resolve d. \n\nIt's a nice story about familiar and durable matters: family\, love\ , identity\, loyalty. George Hagen obviously has a good heart\, and he has created people who share that admirable quality. As noted above\, the novel reads easily and pleasantly\, but once it ends you're left with the sensat ion of having been on a long journey that never went anywhere in particular . It may be true\, as has been said\, that it is the journey that matters\, not the destination\, but somehow that doesn't seem entirely the case with The Laments.\n\nAlexandria\, VA 22301 - USA\n\nThursday\, November 12 at 6:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos1.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/2/9/2/c/even t_11770540.jpeg\n\nAttending: 20\n\nDetails: http://www.meetup.com/the-read ing-group/calendar/9781429/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091111T162448Z UID:event_9781429@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20090220T040329Z DTSTAMP:20091112T081655Z DTSTART:20091112T230000Z DTEND:20091113T010000Z GEO:38.82;-77.12 URL:http://www.meetup.com/the-reading-group/calendar/9781429/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Les Compagnons Meetup DESCRIPTION:Les Compagnons\n\nLes Compagnons is an established French Conve rsation group that meets every Thursday from 6-7 pm.

The Radio Rock roster\, overseen by unflappable station o wner (and ship’s captain) Quentin (Bill Nighy)\, includes a risk-prone Amer ican known only as The Count (Philip Seymour Hoffman)\; mystic deejay royal ty Gavin (Rhys Ifans)\; slyly amorous Dave (Nick Frost)\; idiosyncratic New Zealander Angus (Rhys Darby)\; the rarely seen Bob (Ralph Brown)\; the apt ly named Thick Kevin (Tom Brooke)\; lovelorn Simon (Chris O’Dowd)\; ladies’ magnet Mark (Tom Wisdom)\; shy Harold (Ike Hamilton)\; reporter News John (Will Adamsdale)\; and lesbian ship’s cook Felicity (Katherine Parkinson). One night in 1966\, Quentin’s teenaged godson Carl (Tom Sturridge) comes ab oard. While Carl harbors romantic aspirations that he hopes will be fulfill ed during one of the biweekly visits by Radio Rock’s prettiest fans\, he al so hopes to find out more about his long-absent father…\n\nAs the ship sails on and rocks out\, what Carl and the freewheeling\, f ree-loving Radio Rock gang don’t know is that back in London\, landlocked g overnment minister Dormandy (Kenneth Branagh) has embarked on a vehement cr usade to silence their signal – permanently. To stay afloat and keep their devoted audience plugged in\, the crew will have to band together and trust in the power of music like never before.\n\nPIRATE RADIO will open nationw ide on Friday\, November 13th.\nIt is rated R with a running time of approx imately 120 minutes.\n\nTo view the trailer visit: http://www.focusfeatures .com/focusfeatures/film/pirate_radio\n\nWashington\, DC 20015 - USA\n\nThu rsday\, November 12 at 6:00 PM\n\nPhoto: http://photos3.meetupstatic.com/ph otos/event/4/2/c/4/event_10877092.jpeg\n\nAttending: 22\n\nDetails: http:// www.meetup.com/nakidkickball/calendar/11679649/ LAST-MODIFIED:20091021T190700Z UID:event_11679649@meetup.com CLASS:PUBLIC CREATED:20091021T185459Z DTSTAMP:20091112T081655Z DTSTART:20091112T230000Z DTEND:20091113T010000Z GEO:38.91;-77.02 LOCATION:AMC Mazza Gallerie - 5300 Wisconsin Avenue\, NW\, on 3rd Floor - W ashington\, DC 20015 - USA URL:http://www.meetup.com/nakidkickball/calendar/11679649/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Got Yoga? and Laughter Yoga in MD/DC/VA Meetup DESCRIPTION:Got Yoga? and Laughter Yoga in MD/DC/VA\n\nFUN YOGAMIX IN GREEN BELT\, MD / 12mtgs\n\nMust register through the Greenbelt Community Center\ n\nFUN YOGAMIX 452220-1\n\nA fun and gentle yoga mix of breathing\, poses\, meditation and\nlaughter therapy.

First\, Cor y Casanave and Tom Digre of Model Driven Solutions will demonstrate publish ing models and architectures as linked open data (LOD). This will be follow ed with a case study and demo by Greg Bardwell of Innovative Query\, on Sem antic Technology and Enterprise Applications.\n\nPublishing models and arch itectures as LOD\n\nThis talk will focus on the business case and technolog y support for publishing models and architectures as linked open data (LOD) . The business case for this is that architectures are more valuable when t hey are visible\, shared and linked. Publishing government architectural d ata supports the president’s open government initiative in support of visib ility\, collaboration and participation. Publishing as LOD fits with the e merging thinking on the best way for government data to be published in an accessible\, web based\, linkable and query able form based on standards.\n \nSome background on how to leverage LOD for government architectures can b e found in the ISWC presentation\, here: http://lib.modeldriven.org/MDLibra ry/trunk/Pub/Presentations/ISWC_OpenGovernmentArchitectures.ppt\n\nGIVE US YOUR MODELS! If you will provide ModelDriven.org with your XMI or RDF base d models with a license to publish the model data on the internet\, we will publish them as part of our demonstration architectural data server at no charge. This data could then also be published on data.gov or any other da ta registry. Our EKB server is capable of publishing any XMI file (UML\, X ML-Schema\, BPMN\, SoaML\, Etc) as LOD. More information on the EKB projec t can be found here: http://portal.modeldriven.org/project/EKB\n\nWe will t hen organize these models for presentation as data (with web page access as well) on the demonstration server.\n\nSpeakers - Part 1\n\nCory Casanave ( Bio available soon)\n\nTom Tigre (Bio available soon)\n\nSemantic Technolog y and Enterprise Applications\n\nThis talk will discuss how semantic techno logy will be applied to a case within Air Force Acquisitions to build a Sem antic Business Intelligence (SBI) system for their unstructured data. (http ://www.innovativequery.com/Case_Studies/index.html).\n\nTo start\, Innovati ve Query will briefly present IQeXplore – a Semantic application platform w ith tools and API for search/discovery\, visualization\, and collaboration.
