Health & Safety: The health center is a joke.. Campus crime is not too bad, maybe a stolen laptop here or there when left unwatched in the library.
Academics: Classes are hard! I am an English major and challenged every day. Workload is A LOT! Don't expect to always finish all of your homework.
Transportation: The train will be your savior, and the blue bus will get you around between the three campuses.
Off-Campus Housing: A lot of the apartment buildings around Bryn Mawr say that they don't allow college students, but there are a lot of apartments/houses to rent in Bryn Mawr/Haverford/Swarthmore/all around these areas, so don't worry.
Drug Safety: Weed is very noticeable on campus, people will smoke in the dorms. Other than that, you won't hear too much about other drugs unless you are actively looking for it yourself (which if you are, it's mostly pretty easy to find, whatever it is you're looking for). Alcohol is a big thing at Bryn Mawr, especially during Traditions! If you don't drink, IT IS OKAY! We will still love you!
Scholarships: You have to hound the people in the financial aid office to make sure it's all done correctly.
Campus Strictness: There is a lot of leniency with drugs/alcohol, you won't get in trouble unless you make it very obvious that you are doing something you should not be doing! Campus is very strict on parking, you will get so many parking tickets you will scream if you don't pay attention to where to park. Honor code is held very highly at Bryn Mawr, it may sound crazy, but one day you too will be strict about the honor code!
Campus Housing: The rooms may be a little small when you're an underclassmen, but it gets better! The least strict of housing is Radnor and the most strict is Brecon.
Athletics: If you want to be a part of a sport and make it a large part of your life, you can easily do that!
Greek Life: We don't have Greek life and we tend to look at other Greek life (such as swarthmore/haverford) as non-progressive, sexist boys.
Off-Campus Dining: There are some great choices along Lancaster, but you'll eventually get sick of the same things; you can take the train to venture even further though!
Diversity: The school boasts a great amount of diversity in the student body, yet the faculty is not as diverse; this has been addressed recently though and the school is looking for more diverse professors to bring to Bryn Mawr.
Nightlife: There are very few parties on campus, which I like because I do not drink nor do drugs. There are a few bars on the main line, but not that many clubs. For real entertainment, people usually go into Philadelphia.
Majors: My department, History of Art, is one of the strongest programs in the school, and it has a reputation in the work field. I am confident that people will respect my degree, but it is not exactly what I want to do. I would rather have communications or marketing or public relations instead, but Bryn Mawr's major options are very limited. There are no business majors of any kind, so it may be hard to market myself for a job in the future, without another graduate school degree.
Diversity: There are a ton of international students in the student body. Each class has at least a third from another country of origin, which is great because it allows everyone else to see a glimpse of another culture from people who really know about that country. It also allows the international students to find similar people and to deal with the shell shock of American culture.
Campus Dining: I am biased because I have food allergies, but generally, people consider the food to be okay. Many say that it it way better that other colleges, but when you eat the same things over a long period of time, the redundancy can equate to not being as good.
Parking: There are spots to park on campus, but they are usually filled up quickly. However, it is totally not necessary to have a car on campus, since everything you need is easily accessible.
Drug Safety: It's the best, in terms of how there is absolutely no drug usage. Seriously! One list shows that the only school that has less partying than we do is Brigham Young University.
Weather: The weather between this year and last year has been dramatically different, and it is also very different from season to season. It is important to have good rain gear if you want to go to Bryn Mawr because it either storms or it does not rain at all. Snow varies, but it can come at unexpected times. For instance, it snowed on the first day of Spring Break in 2013! This year, the spring and fall have been pretty mild in terms of temperature, but the winter seems to be coming in harshly, and the summer was brutally hot. The spring and fall are beautiful, but winter can be rough at times. I think it embodies the typical northeastern seasonal change in areas far from water. I am from New York so I am used to this weather, but for others who live in more stable climates, it can be a shock. No one likes the humidity.
Off-Campus Dining: There are many local food spots on the main line, but students tend to fall in love with a few places and go there mostly. Bryn Mawr is an expensive town, so the menu prices depend on what kind of restaurant you want to go to. Many support student discounts since most of their clientele are college students from either Bryn Mawr, Haverford, or Villanova. Many restaurants are also family owned, so the atmosphere is friendly and welcoming. If you have a car or feel like taking a train, there are more options available. There are also a ton of places that support delivery to Bryn Mawr, so that keeps options open as well.
Athletics: Mawrters love to go out and support our athletes because chances are you have a friend on a sports team. The games are also something to do when you have a lot of stress or you are bored. We are not a school that holds many sporting records, but nevertheless, people still want our athletes to do well, so we support them in whatever way we can.
Weather: The dorms do not have A/C, and they get SO hot and SO humid during the summer. (At one point my dorm was 90 degrees).It also rains a whole bunch and snows heavily. Luckily, it's such a small campus that it isn't all that bad. However, if you have to walk into town it can be a real bitch.
Local Atmosphere: Bryn Mawr is a very quiet and beautiful town, but unlike a normal college town, everything is pretty much closed after 8pm. It is definitely inconvenient if you get sick or if you can't sleep and want to walk into town for a coffee. I think Starbucks stays open until ten or eleven sometimes but that is really all that will be open, aside from the gas station. It is generally a family oriented town with random Villanova students living in some of the apartments (but they all have cars). There are many fancy private elementary, middle and high schools around and the homes around campus are massive and gorgeous. It is the ideal suburb if you are 45 and a stay at home Mom with a BMW and 2 kids who play soccer. However, as a 20 year old, it can really suck to feel like the only person alive walking around at night.
Overall Experience: I come from a small, white-dominated, wealthy town in the second richest county in the country. I absolutely hate my hometown because of its narrow-mindedness and lack of diversity. Bryn Mawr is the complete opposite. I love the diversity of students and the kind of people that go there. I genuinely love returning to school because even though it is challenging, I love everything about my school. I have friendships that I know will last beyond college, I have support systems from both students and faculty, I have fun with different events and clubs, and I thrive as a result. There is a specific type of person who goes to Bryn Mawr, and because of this unifying personality factor, everyone (genuinely) is friends with each other, and makes a school a home. This definitely sounds idealistic and possibly exaggerated, but until you step onto campus and discover what Bryn Mawr is really about, you have no idea just how wonderful this place is. I absolutely LOVE Bryn Mawr, and I am beyond supercalifragilisticexpialidocious that I go there.
Drug Safety: Freshman are required to take an online alcohol course before moving in. Campus Safety will definitely notify your dean if you are caught smoking or super drunk while underage. A lot of people at Bryn Mawr really don't party, even at Senior Cocktails there is an entire table of non-alcoholic drinks.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Kaitlin Menza
Like any highly-rated liberal arts college, Bryn Mawr provides a stellar education to a vibrant student body on a campus so beautiful that sometimes it looks surreal. During the school year, especially in the dead of winter, it is easy to overlook these tremendous offerings and instead focus on the massive amount of work, as it contrasts to what can seem like a dearth of social opportunities. These are the times where some freshmen consider transferring.
Traditions help lighten the mood on campus, and despite what seems to be stress oozing out of every pore, most students manage to do a lot more than just handle their school work-though everyone agrees that academics is a priority. In the end, students are most proud of their academic work, but also fond of the school and experiences that they had here. Mawrters come to Bryn Mawr to benefit from the faculty and coursework the school is known for. Some women find the lack of boys on campus difficult to adjust to, or they find the general smallness of the campus undesirable, but in the end, most stay for the same reason they came: academics. When it's over, few look back on the decision with regret.

Is Ron Paul the Best Hope for Progressives?
Rep. Ron Paul (R-Texas) is the last man standing in the Republican presidential race besides presumptive victor Mitt Romney, even after a strategy statement misunderstood by many as "dropping out." Since that announcement, Paul has won his second state, Minnesota (Maine was the first), and is on target to end up controlling presidential voting delegations in such states as Iowa, Louisiana, and Missouri. Far from fading as a cultural force, Paul continues to draw huge crowds, sometimes over five thousand students, on campuses as well.
As the presidential field has shaped up to a certain Obama vs. Romney in the major parties, the desire for a challenger championing either the serious right or serious progressive left grows. And Ron Paul—though he continues to deny any third party plans and his political machine has clearly hitched itself to the GOP for now—is strangely a viable candidate for either role, should he choose to accept it.
Paul is in many ways the rightest of right wingers, with his desire to kill the income tax, end government interference in medical care, and get to a balanced budget in three years with no tax hikes. A third party Paul, should he make such a radical choice, would provide a choice for right-wingers dissatisfied with Romney's small-government bonafides.
Yet despite Paul's impeccable Tea Party credentials on tax and spending issues, he would be an even more appealing choice to progressives dissatisfied with President Obama. Even while running for the GOP presidential nod, Ron Paul has presented a political vision in many respects to the left of the Democratic Party.
President Obama wants to continue and expand every aspect of the war on drugs, including the war on state-legal medical marijuana operations. Paul thinks government attempts to arrest people for actions that harm only themselves are inherently illegitimate. Obama's administration has set records in deportations. Paul mocks border walls as un-American in Republican candidate debates.
Obama approves of enormous bailouts to huge financial institutions, and his administration's high-level economic planning is run almost entirely by insiders from such institutions. Ron Paul is opposed to what he (and leftists) calls "crony capitalism." Paul's free-market policies would leave corporations with no more power over the American people than the corporations get by selling people things, things people choose to buy. (Unlike the products of the hated health insurance companies, which ObamaCare mandates that we all purchase.)
Even Paul's stated environmental policies—certainly very far from implementation even in a world where Paul was president—of imposing liability via tort on people and corporations who harm others through pollution, rather than allowing them to do so but "regulating" them—seem more in line with what a progressive who doesn't want the fatcats getting away with harming the innocent should want.
Paul's belief in unfettered free markets is supposed, in the minds of leftists, to mean unbridled corporate power. But America's plutocracy loves activist government—as long as it's helping them, as Obama's programs of giveaways to banks and investment firms does. Paul was thus the only GOP candidate with kind things to say about the Occupy movement, for recognizing the dangers of crony capitalism, and the only candidate whose fans proselytized among them.
Paul's greater appeal to an honest progressive goes even further. Obama has expanded the president's powers to unilaterally imprison and even kill American citizens beyond even George W. Bush's attempts. Paul gets thousands of students who gather to hear him booing any mention of the controversial yet sadly little-known National Defense Authorization Act signed by Obama, giving legal cover to the presidential power of unilateral imprisonment. Obama has started new unauthorized wars, greatly expanded a civilian-killing drone program, and presided over the biggest defense budgets in history. Ron Paul campaigns for peace and withdrawal of the U.S. military from the world. In doing so, he's done more than Noam Chomsky to normalize discussion of U.S. foreign policy as the behavior of a criminal empire, not as the world's great defender of liberty.
President Obama loves the Patriot Act and hates whistleblowers; Paul is opposite on both points, including defense of accused WikiLeaker Bradley Manning.
On a wide range of issues involving individual autonomy and liberty, and protecting people from oppressive concentrations of power, Paul is clearly more progressive than Obama.
Progressives love income redistribution, though, and Paul does not. Still, while Paul is opposed in principle to things like government funding for NPR and even medical care, he mocks his fellow Republicans who act like such programs are the most important place to start practicing austerity—the former because it's cultural red meat to their base, the latter because it feeds an ugly strain of opposition to "welfare bums" that plays no part in how Paul campaigns.
While Paul is the loudest and most consistent voice for many progressive goals, he rejects their choice of tool to equalize income, which is why progressives' disappointment with Obama hasn't led them to turn to Ron Paul. But Paul and the movement for peace, civil liberties, and ending government's explicit support for corporate power that he leads offers progressives an alternative, and a dilemma: Are those values more important than fealty to the Democratic Party and hugely expensive income redistribution programs?

As a progressive who is supporting Ron Paul, I am disappointed in progressives' inability to see Obama's failure to deliver and the potential for cutting a better and more workable deal with Paul.
Party tribalism precludes even the slightest consideration of the idea of a progressive coalition with libertarians.
Equally, if not more obstructive, is ideological sectarianism on both sides. A desire to have total victory and unconditional surrender on economic issues is the biggest obstacle to forming this necessary, if temporary, coalition to oust the corporate squatters and simultaneously advance both our agendas.
To our "hugely expensive income redistribution programs"...is there no temporary middle ground? Is there no hybrid form of health insurance reform that libertarians would tolerate for 4 to 8 years. Is there no way to agree to lowering the rates on social security pay roll taxes while raising both the age of retirement and the cap.
And is there not a way to have a tax system which is voluntary, based on consumption spending beyond what is necessary, by exempting certain products and services or an annual amount of spending. Robert Frank's progressive consumption is a good place to start.
The inability of both libertarians and progressives to come out of their trenches is forcing all of us to remain divided and conquered in separate coalitions with the same corporate masters and the government they buy.
Once more into the cyber void.
Nothing so soporific as crickets chirping,... eh Brian?

Kuchar Comes Up Clutch at Sawgrass
Posted: 7:52 PM May 13, 2012
Reporter: AP
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- The only complaint about Matt Kuchar was not winning enough. He picked up a big one Sunday in The Players Championship.
Kuchar avoided the big mistakes that slowed so many other contenders -- starting with Kevin Na -- and kept out of the water on the TPC Sawgrass at the end. He closed with a 2-under 70 for a two-shot victory.
It was the fourth career win for Kuchar, and his first since the 2010 Barclays when Martin Laird three-putted the last hole and lost in a playoff.
Laird made the strongest run until a bogey on the 18th for a 67 and a four-way tie for second. Rickie Fowler missed an 8-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole and shot 70. Ben Curtis and Zach Johnson each had 68.

Recipe from Morton's The Cookbook Ribeyes should be well marbled and may or may not have a noticeable nugget of creamy fat embedded in the meat. When a ribeye is sold with its bone, it's called a bone-in rib steak—and is delicious. Apply our simple rancher's rub generously, working it into the meat with your fingers. Servings: Serves 6
In a mixing bowl, stir together the chili powder, paprika, salt, sugar and pepper. Transfer to a large, shallow glass or ceramic pan. You will have about 1 1/2 cups of rancher's rub.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator about 40 minutes before cooking. Lay the steaks, one at a time, in the dish and press the rancher's rub into each side of the steaks to cover completely. Remove the steaks and lightly pound each four to five times on both sides with a meat mallet or small heavy skillet to soften but not flatten more than a little. Discard any remaining seasoning in the pan. Set aside to marinate at room temperature for 35 minutes. Prepare a charcoal or gas grill, or preheat the broiler and position a rack four inches from the heating element. The coals should be medium-hot for the charcoal grill. The burners should be on high for the gas grill. Grill or broil for about 8 minutes. Turn using tongs and cook the other side for 8 to 9 minutes for medium-rare, or until desired degree of doneness. To serve, spoon some of the au jus over the steaks, if desired. Wine recommendation: Ribeye and chili powder. Delicious! A perfect wine match is a high-octane Australian Shiraz. Any of the Shirazes from Two Hands (Bella's Garden is my favorite) would be divine with this dish. Almost like drinking spicy chocolate, they complement the fat in the ribeye and stand up to the chili and other spices. Copyright © 2009 by Morton's Restaurant Group, Inc. All rights reserved.

Once a cyclones, always a cyclone.
About time Hallie hit one
Buckets. Good time to start evening that three point percentage out Hallie.

You don't need a three here...just points..
That comeback was even faster than the men's.
Shades of the KU game, player heads to the bench with 5 fouls, but no, wait it's not called on her?
For the record, Moody got the open lane because she dribbled around "too much!"
She made the defender look like she was standing still. Hallie, here's a good time to dial another one in.
Prins is just en fuego.

MO Statehouse/Workplace discrimination
2:35 pm
Thu February 9, 2012
Mo. House approves changes to workplace discrimination law
Legislation that would redefine workplace discrimination standards in Missouri has passed the State House.
The bill would change the definition by making discrimination a motivating factor in any action taken by an employer against an employee, instead of a contributing factor as established by court rulings in recent years. House Majority Floor Leader Tim Jones (R, Eureka) argued that the current standard is killing small businesses in Missouri.
"You are telling businesses not to hire, not to grow, not to take any chances, and on top of that, 'don't you dare fire those bad employees that you have that are messing up your work environment, because you'll be sued,'" Jones said.
Other Republican House members said the bill would restore Missouri's workplace discrimination standard to the federal guideline and make the state more business-friendly. House Member Mike Colona (D, St. Louis) argued that Missouri has a higher standard that needs to be preserved.
"Presently, if Tommy is sued for firing Suzy, under Missouri law, in a Missouri Court, and it's proven that 49 percent of the reason why Tommy fired Suzy is because she's an African-American, Tommy gets slapped...Tommy gets hit with a judgement," Colona said.
The bill passed 89 to 68 on a mostly partisan vote – however, 12 Republicans joined House Democrats in voting "no." It now goes to the Missouri Senate, which passed its version of the bill on Wednesday.
The measure would also limit the amount of punitive damages discrimination victims could recover.

William & Mary 6
(0-1, 0-1 away)
Maryland 7
(1-0, 1-0 home)
3:00 PM ET, September 1, 2012
Byrd Stadium, COLLEGE PARK, MD
Top Performers
Passing: R. Ortiz (W&M) - 100 YDS
Rushing: J. Pickett (TENN) - 11 CAR, 45 YDS, 1 TD
Receiving: T. McBride (W&M) - 6 REC, 97 YDS
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Justus Pickett ran for a 6-yard touchdown with 9:52 left in the fourth quarter, and Brad Craddock added the tie-breaking extra point to give Maryland a 7-6 victory over William & Mary in the season opener for both teams Saturday.
Maryland gave a sloppy performance against its Football Championship Subdivision opponent, which led most of the game before losing its opener for the 10th time in 11 years.
ACC Blog
ESPN.com's Heather Dinich and Andrea Adelson write about all things ACC in the conference blog.
The Terrapins won despite turning the ball over four times and missing a short field goal.
Freshman quarterback Perry Hills, in his first collegiate start, completed 16 of 24 for 145 yards and directed the winning 10-play, 69-yard drive, but he threw three interceptions.
Maryland defensive back Dexter McDougle was called for three pass-interference penalties. Two of them came in the first quarter, when Maryland had many of its problems.
The Terrapins turned the ball over three times in the first quarter, when the Tribe took a 6-0 lead on two Drake Kuhn field goals.
Maryland missed a short field goal in the second quarter and left the field at halftime to loud boos from the Byrd Stadium crowd.
Hills threw an interception on Maryland's second play of the game. DeAndre Houston-Carson picked if off to give the Tribe possession at the Terrapins' 34-yard line.
The Maryland defense held and Kuhn kicked a 30-yard field goal for an early 3-0 lead. Later in the quarter, Brian Thompson intercepted Hills as he was being hit and returned the ball 32 yards to the Maryland 9-yard line.
The Terrapins held again, and Kuhn's 22-yard field goal gave William & Mary a 6-0 lead with 2:56 left in the quarter.
Maryland turned the ball over a third time in the first quarter when Albert Reid fumbled on a run. The Tribe started driving but got a bad break when quarterback Brent Caprio's pass was bobbled by Keith McBride and grabbed by defensive end Joe Vellano at the Maryland 22.
Hills then directed Maryland's best drive of the first half midway through the second quarter. He moved the Terrapins 63 yards in 12 plays to a third-and-6 at the William & Mary 7, but missed a wide-open Devonte Campbell in the back of the end zone.
Craddock came on but missed a 25-yard field goal wide left.

By Robert Simonson
Are there other plays that have touched on the topic of memory that have affected you?
Well, in that play we're basically relying on the memory of one man who is talking about a milieu he was in but wasn't terribly sympathetic towards. Do you have an overall sense of purpose as to what you want to accomplish as a playwright, what you think a playwright should do, what kind of plays you hope to write?
You do seem to write good characters for actors to sink their teeth in.
10 Jan 2013
Photo by Joan Marcus
AH: I'm sure. Not that this play is directly influenced, but I think The Glass Menagerie is the classic memory play. How I Learned to Drive is another play about memory and childhood abuse. For some reason, when you said that, The Designated Mourner by Wallace Shawn popped into my brain. I'm not really sure how that relates.
AH: Hm. That's a tough one. I don't know that I have a singular and well-articulated artistic vision. I want each play I write to be quite different from the last one I wrote. And I think my overall journey over the last several years has been toward character and away from plot machinations. Belleville is not quite like that; it's more of a genre play.
AH: Thank you. I hope so. I love actors. And I think one of my primary responsibilities is to write plays that they'll care about doing.
AH: Well, I'd be a little hesitant to answer that question too explicitly because it's part of the experience of seeing the play. But I will say it's a poem my grandmother used to recite when I was little. The question at the beginning of the poem always sounded ominous to me. It had resonance for me in my childhood, and seems like an open-ended scary question.
PLAYBILL BRIEF ENCOUNTER With Amy Herzog, the Playwright of The Great God Pan and Belleville
The poem that gives The Great God Pan its title — any reason why you decided to include that and make that the play's title?

Ticings: A New Way to Decorate Cupcakes
(FEATURED CONTEST: Tell us what your favorite party is on our site and win a $50 gift certificate from CSN. It's that's easy!)
I'm loving Ticings, which are edible icing appliqués that can you can use on cupcakes, cakes, cookies, brownies, you name it. You just peel them off like little stickers and press them onto your dessert.
Aside from how easy they are to use, take a look at how cool they look!
You can even use them on cakes.
And if you don't like any of their styles, you can create your own and they'll print it for you.
So for those of us who are not expert bakers (and I'm first on that list!) this is a simple, and not very expensive (a sheet of 24 costs around $16) way to add style to your desserts.
According to their website, they're adding new sizes, new styles, and new prices, so we should check back often. And I will!
My daughter's 4th birthday is in March, and I'm planning to use Ticings to decorate her cupcakes. And of course I'll be blogging all about it.
If anyone has used them, please send in some photos and please let us know if you have any tips.

April 4, 2013 - I received one of these free, with the purchase of the hooded jacket I recently ordered. However, I can't get it to peel! I was so looking forward to putting this on my car!! Any suggestions??
March 2, 2013 - very bright, colorful, and can definitely be seen when placed on back car window
December 23, 2012 - Nice window cling for the home windows but a little large for car windows, blocks views. I took an exacto knife and cut the white section out of the cling in order to put it on my car back window. The purple paw and site info is still in perfect shape for all to see.
November 18, 2012 - Really is nice.Sticks very well

City of Waukesha fire chief candidates down to six
First-round interviews will take place Monday, Tuesday
The City of Waukesha's fire chief search is entering the home stretch after the City's Police and Fire Commission whittled down the list of candidates from 48 to six.
Police and Fire Commission member Frances Kritzer said the commission met with representatives from Voorhees Associates March 4 when they reviewed the résumés and recommendations. Voorhees is an Illinois-based search firm working with the commission on the selection process.
Voorhees Associates Vice President Mark Morien said the applicants who applied for the position came from 19 states. Morien said four are from Wisconsin and two are from Illinois. He said names of the six finalists are not being released at this time.
Morien said the commission will conduct first-roundinterviews with the finalists on Monday and Tuesday and final interviews are to be determined. Kritzer said she anticipates them to be in early April.
It has been a year since the city's former chief, Allen LaConte, retired last March after 35 years with the department. Assistant Fire Chief Steve Howard has served as the interim fire chief since then. But finding a permanent replacement hasn't been a short process.
The Police and Fire Commission, a group of citizen volunteers independent from the city, asked to hire a search firm. They selected Voorhees, the same firm that helped select Ed Henschel as the city administrator. A majority of the Common Council did not want to use city money for a search, saying there are qualified candidates from within the department.
Despite the Common Council voting down funding for a search firm last April, Police and Fire Commission Chairwoman Cheryl Gemignani reaffirmed the commission's position at its next meeting saying that the commission does not have access to Fire Department staff to do just internal interviews.
"It is necessary for a search firm and its attendant manpower to be hired to take us through the extensive and time-consuming process of recruiting, screening, testing and vetting of candidates whom are the best qualified for the job to make sure that the process is in compliance with all appropriate federal, state and local laws so as not to expose the commission or the city to any potential litigation," Gemignani said at that meeting last April.
"The search for a new fire chief is as important as the search for a new city administrator and should be handled in the same manner to be fair and equitable to all."
Police and Fire Commission Vice Chairman Steve Mackie said last fall the commission could not take on the role of a search firm.
"There are so many laws we have to follow," Mackie said.
When it was brought before the council once again in November, despite facing some of the same opposition, a majority of the council this time approved the funding of a search firm.

Loading... The March (original 2005; edition 2005)by E. L. Doctorow
Work detailsThe March by E. L. Doctorow (2005)
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. The war is the protagonist. The story is told through the lives of the characters rather than the battle. Critic Circle Award and #1 National Book Award. Shernan's March to the Sea -- this novel tries to portray its human side rather than its strategic importance to the Civil War. With civilization collapsing all around, a host of people, from slaves to civilians even to southern soldiers attach themselves to Sherman's Army. It's the only oasis of order and hope of survival. I liked the large number of characters that weave in and out of the story, with their varied backgrounds and motivations. Sometimes you can only roll your eyes at their assumptions, like, for example, they could keep their furniture and belongings safe by storing them in a Savannah warehouse. Sometimes you share their horror at the destructiveness of the war machines and the inadequacy of medical care. It's a vibrant, colorful depiction of war, without much of the romanticism we attach to the era. Enojyable, no "Ragtime" but better than "Homer and Langley". This is a fictional account of General Sherman's march through the South during the Civil War. It covers the issues of freed slaves, captured Confederate soldiers and abandoned plantations. The main problem I had with the book is that there's no grounding center to the story. We get a glimpse at the lives of many people in the south, but we don't really get to know any of them. We spend the most time with Pearl, a young African American girl named Pearl whose skin was so light that she passed for a white drummer boy. She's an interesting character, but I never felt like we got to know her or any of the other characters very well. BOTTOM LINE: I wanted more, more depth in the characters, more historical details, etc. The book felt like it barely skimmed the surface and I was never invested. "The wretched war had destroyed not only their country but all the presumptions of human self-regard. What a scant foolish pretense was a family, a culture, a place of history, when it was all so easily defamed." I promised Joyce I wouldn't no reviews | add a review
References to this work on external resources. Wikipedia in English (3)Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0812976150, Paperback)As the Civil War was moving toward its inevitable conclusion, General William Tecumseh Sherman marched 60,000 Union troops through Georgia and the Carolinas, leaving a 60-mile-wide trail of death, destruction, looting, thievery and chaos. In The March, E.L. Doctorow has put his unique stamp on these events by staying close to historical fact, naming real people and places and then imagining the rest, as he did in Ragtime.Recently, the Civil War has been the subject of novels by Howard Bahr, Michael Shaara, Charles Frazier, and Robert Hicks, to name a few. Its perennial appeal is due not only to the fact that it was fought on our own soil, but also that it captures perfectly our long-time and ongoing ambivalence about race. Doctorow examines this question extensively, chronicling the dislocation of both southern whites and Negroes as Sherman burned and destroyed all that they had ever known. Sherman is a well-drawn character, pictured as a crazy tactical genius pitted against his West Point counterparts. Doctorow creates a context for the march: "The brutal romance of war was still possible in the taking of spoils. Each town the army overran was a prize... There was something undeniably classical about it, for how else did the armies of Greece and Rome supply themselves?" The characters depicted on the march are those people high and low, white and black, whose lives are forever changed by war: Pearl, the newly free daughter of a white plantation owner and one of his slaves, Colonel Sartorius, a competent, remote, almost robotic surgeon; several officers, both Union and Confederate; two soldiers, Arly and Will, who provide comic relief in the manner of Shakespeare's fools until, suddenly, their roles are not funny anymore. Doctorow has captured the madness of war in his description of the condition of a dispossessed Southern white woman: "What was clear at this moment was that Mattie Jameson's mental state befitted the situation in which she found herself. The world at war had risen to her affliction and made it indistinguishable." And later, " This was not war as adventure, nor war for a solemn cause, it was war at its purest, a mindless mass rage severed from any cause, ideal, or moral principle." As we have come to expect, Doctorow puts the reader in the picture; never more so than in recalling "The March" and letting us see it as a cautionary tale for our times. --Valerie Ryan (retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:36:40 -0400) Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's devastating march through Georgia and the Carolinas during the final years of the Civil War has a profound impact on the outcome of the war.

Summary (Masterplots II: Short Story Series, Revised Edition)
Four men are adrift in an open boat, their ship having gone down about dawn. Now, in the clear light of day, the men begin to perceive the full gravity of their situation. The captain is lying injured in the bow of the boat, and the January sea is tossing the men about, rising menacingly over the gunwales. The oiler and the correspondent are rowing, trying to reach Mosquito Light Inlet, where, the cook has said, there is a lifesaving station.
As the day passes, the men grow silent. The captain encourages them. "We'll get ashore all right," he says. As they row, seabirds hover above them, floating in groups next to them, one even coming close enough to be waved off. The men swear at it, deeming the bird an ill omen.
In time, the captain and the cook spy the lighthouse, a pinpoint at the throat of the horizon, and the crew rig a sail from the captain's overcoat. Soon, the lighthouse appears larger, but the wind quickly dies, and the correspondent and the oiler are obliged to row harder. The land begins to loom, and the men can see the shore and hear the roar of the surf. Expecting now to be seen and rescued, the men are at first puzzled, then angered that no one is on the beach. They do not know that there is no lifesaving station here, and as the afternoon wears on, the men row steadily toward shore until their bodies ache.
Suddenly, they spot a man on the beach. In their excitement, they yell and wave a towel at him and the man waves back. Another man appears, riding a bicycle, and finally onto the beach drives an omnibus from one of the large resort hotels. The men in the boat wave and yell frantically, but the party on the beach, obviously there only for an...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Four men, crewmembers and a passenger of the sunken ship Commodore, are floating in a lifeboat scarcely bigger than a bathtub, their eyes fixed on the ocean waves that continually threaten to overwhelm them. The cook bails water from the boat while the oiler and correspondent row. The captain of the Commodore is injured, consumed with despair and visions of the sinking of the ship and the faces of its crewmembers.
The struggle to keep the boat upright and free of the waves is continuous. The men know it is daytime only because the color of the sea changes. They have no cause to look at the sky; their attention is only on the menacing waves. The cook says hopefully that he knows of a house of refuge on shore with a crew that could rescue the shipwrecked men. The men begin to squabble about whether the house of refuge will indeed have a crew, but the oiler twice reminds them that they are not yet ashore.
The ocean, "probably splendid," continues tossing the boat, but the men are in such danger and hardship that they have no inclination to consider the sea's beauties. Caught between childish optimism and hopelessness, the men talk idly about whether they have a chance of making land. The captain spots a lighthouse so far away that it looks like the point of a pin. The men still cannot discern any progress through the ocean, but the cook is cheerful as he bails water. The men begin to feel an intense sense of fellowship. Even the cynical correspondent knows that this is the best experience of his life.
On the captain's suggestion, the men rig up a mast and sail. The lighthouse has been growing in size, indicating they are getting closer to it. The cook mentions, as if in passing, that he believes the life-saving station on shore had been abandoned about a year ago. The wind dies, and the men take the oars. The men had hardly slept for two days and nights before getting on the dingy, and had eaten little as well. Their efforts are so great that the correspondent wonders desperately how anyone could row a boat for pleasure.
As the land comes closer, the captain is able to make out a house on the shore; the cook and the captain anticipate men coming out to rescue them. The oiler notes that none of the other lifeboats can have made it to land, given that no rescuers have been looking for survivors. As the men approach shore, their mood lightens. The correspondent finds four dry cigars, and everyone smokes and takes a drink of water.
The house of refuge shows no signs of life. The men are puzzled; they do not realize that...

Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
"The Open Boat" is considered by some critics to be Stephen Crane's masterpiece. Summarizing the rudimentary plot—the struggle of four shipwrecked men to survive in a rough sea in a ten-foot dinghy—suggests little of the story's abiding interest. At its center lies not the question of who will survive, ultimately revealed as a matter of chance anyway, but rather the progressively revealed nature of human life and the place of humanity in the universe. The theme is not presented as an abstract philosophical statement; it emerges, rather, from a brilliantly compelling rendition of life in an open boat, vividly portrayed and psychologically exact.
The events immediately preceding those of "The Open Boat" are recounted in "Stephen Crane's Own Story," published January 7, 1897—five days after the Commodore sank—in the New York Press. The short story can be appreciated without reading the journalistic narrative, though knowing the context is useful as background. It is instructive, nevertheless, to compare the openings. "Stephen Crane's Own Story" begins, after the dateline, "It was the afternoon of New Year's. The Commodore lay at her dock in Jacksonville"—functional journalistic prose, whose sole purpose is the objective presentation of facts. The opening of "The Open Boat," on the other hand—"None of them knew the color of the sky" is one of the most famous sentences in modern literature. Arrestingly, with the utmost concision, it reveals the essentials of life in a ten-foot dinghy: One's world is reduced, one's attention is focused solely on survival from moment to moment. What the men know about, in frighteningly intimate detail, is the waves that threaten to swamp the boat.
The four men in the dinghy are the captain of the Commodore; the oiler, who worked in the engine room; the ship's cook; and the correspondent, Stephen Crane himself. They have come together by accident, strangers whose names—except for the oiler's, given incidentally in...

beenthereanddonethat wrote:It sure as Hell wasn't because the right helped this nation in the cause!
Sure they did, they tried to do what the majority of the American people wanted and still want, they tried to kill obamacare. That is what a representative form of govt supposed to do follow the will of the people.
But now, the poor unions that pushed so hard for obamacare don't like the fact that their insurance costs are going to go up.. Booo Hooo, cry me a river. They didn't think it would effect them, just everyone else. The phrase "useful idiots" comes to mind.
beenthereanddonethat wrote:They made it what it is now! Take responsibility with the rest of us!!!
Actually the obama and democrats in the House and Senate along with the bureaucrats in HHS made it what is is now. No matter how hard you try to re-write history, the obama and the democrats own obamacare.
