Capacity at all of the company's ripening and distribution centers has increased, and the sales staff has been expanded "to continue meeting and exceeding our customer demand," he said.
West Pak owns and operates a packinghouse in Mexico and has its own field-sourcing team, production crew and staff to handle the Mexican crop that comes to the U.S.
"Very few companies do," Meyer said.
West Pak's crop should be about 25% larger this year than last as a result of the larger Mexican crop and because the company continues to grow, he said.

New York
Die Frau Ohne Schatten Metropolitan Opera, Dec. 13—Jan. 17; 212/362-6000. Richard Strauss's fable of a "woman without a shadow" who must obtain one in order to be fully human gets a much-anticipated new production. American soprano Deborah Voigt heads the star-studded cast.
The Return of Ulysses New York City Opera, Oct. 27—Nov. 7; 212/870-5570. Monteverdi serves up the final chapters of Homer's Odyssey with Baroque splendor. After a 20-year absence, Ulysses returns to his homeland, casting rival suitors aside to reclaim both his wife, Penelope, and his throne. Director John Cox's staging promises to be suitably spectacular—modern sets offer a stark backdrop for elaborate costumes by Johan Engles.
Thérèse Raquin Dallas Opera, Nov. 30—Dec. 8; 214/443-1000. American composer Tobias Picker and lyricist Gene Scheer have set Émile Zola's novel of adultery and murder to music. It seems the 19th-century French novelist is on everyone's mind: an adaptation of the same book premieres at New York's Plymouth Theater this month, and a movie with Kate Winslet is in the works.
Washington, D.C.
Ballet Nacional de Cuba Kennedy Center, Nov. 20—25; 800/444-1324. For the first time in two decades, the company that produces many of the world's principal dancers (among them legendary prima ballerina Alicia Alonso, now 80) arrives in the nation's capital. Performances include full-length ballet classics Giselle and Coppélia.
Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra 513/381-3300. All the rage in music circles, the dynamic Estonian-American Paavo Järvi makes his debut as music director and conductor of the nation's fifth-oldest orchestra. Highlights: The U.S. premiere of Erkki-Sven Tüür's Violin Concerto (Nov. 15—17), music of Estonian and Finnish composers (Nov. 30—Dec. 1), and Claude Debussy's celebrated Prélude à l'Après-Midi d'un Faune (Dec. 7—8).
Los Angeles
L.A. Philharmonic 323/850-2000. Music director Esa-Pekka Salonen, guest conductor Quincy Jones, and soprano Audra McDonald kick off the season on October 3 with a gala tribute to Duke Ellington. A festival devoted to the music of love-him-or-hate-him Arnold Schoenberg follows. The iconoclastic composer's piano concerto is performed by soloist Emanuel Ax (Oct. 5—7).

Globalization from below: The world's other economy (New Preface)
1. The great transformation
2. Globalization from above
3. Globalization from below (and above)
4. The informal economy has taken over the world
5. The digital revolution and intellectual property
6. Anthropology and economics
The great transformation
We are forming a world society and call it "globalization". There is nothing inevitable about this. Globalization on a similar scale occurred before 1914 and was then reversed by an age of war and revolution. Emergent world society is the new human universal – not an idea, like the catholic or bourgeois versions that preceded it, but the fact of 7 billion people living together on this planet. We urgently need to find new principles of association that will make our world habitable. In approaching such a task, I imagine modern world history as a sequence of three centuries, 1800-2100, each profoundly different from the others. Indeed, if the 21st century repeats the pattern of the 19th or the 20th, there will not be a 22nd.
In 1800 the world's population was roughly one billion. At that time only 3% lived in cities. The rest lived mainly by extracting a livelihood from the land. Animals and plants were responsible for almost all the energy produced and consumed by human beings. A bit more than two centuries later, world population has reached seven billions. The proportion living in cities is about a half. Inanimate sources converted by machines now account for the bulk of energy production and consumption. For most of the intervening period the human population has been growing at an average annual rate of 1.5%; cities at 2% a year; and energy production at around 3% a year. This last figure is double the rate of population increase, a powerful index of the economic expansion of the last 200 years. In consequence, many people live longer, work less and spend more than they did before. But a third of humanity still works in the fields with their hands; and the distribution of all this extra energy has been grossly unequal. Americans each consume 400 times more energy than the average Ugandan.
This hectic dash from the village to the city is widely assumed to be driven by an engine of economic growth and inequality known as "capitalism". But several social forms have emerged to organize the process on a large scale: empires, nation-states, cities, corporations, regional federations, international organizations, capitalist markets, machine industry, global finance and telecommunications networks. There is a pressing need for more effective social coordination at the global level and the drive towards local self-organization is strong everywhere. Special-interest associations of every kind proliferate. Those who resist this unequal society often denigrate the dominant bureaucratic institutions — "the state" and "capitalism" being favourites – in favour of promoting small-scale self-organized groups and networks. Yet it is inconceivable that any future society of this century could dispense with the principal social forms that have brought us to this point. So we must work out how states, cities, big money and the rest might be selectively combined with citizens' initiatives to promote a more democratic world society. A first step would be to emancipate ourselves from viewing the economy exclusively in national terms. Continue reading 'Globalization from below: The world's other economy (New Preface)' »

Call me crazy, Kevin, but isn't a "quote of the day" supposed to be an actual, you know, quote? That isn't even a paraphrase.
13 thoughts on ""Quote" Of The Day"
Eric Weder Wow, Mother Jones is still full of stuck up eco-fascists. They keep telling themselves that it's getting warmer, I think it's all their hot air.
No sense of the absurd over there, is there?
M Puckett Kevin Drum, the same idiot who used to squak about 'Peak Oil' now wants to lecture us on Gorebull Warming.
Hows that Peak Oil working out for ya Kevin?
jrman umm, I'm confused. I found that exact text after the block quote. Did he change something?
Leland I tried going to the link to read. I immediately got a pop-up asking me to buy their magazine. I closed that popup and it then changed me another story about some execution. I quickly closed my browser.
I assume the issue is some complaint that we shouldn't spend money on actual disasters that have occurred, but rather regulated against perceived disasters that may happen in the far future.
Ed Minchau Of course, if we're all living up in space then it doesn't matter if the Earth fries… which it will in about 500 million years anyhow as the sun gets hotter, or in 4 billion years when the sun runs out of Hydrogen.
Sigivald Ah, Mother Jones. Good times.
At least Drum has found his level, safe where he'll never have to deal with a competing viewpoint, nor will his readers.
Der Schtumpy I'm not a Mother Jones reader. Just the cover is off putting enough that I never cracked the thing. And now that I've read the comments, all I can ask, is, WTH is WRONG with those people?!
I've never seen a more hate filled, insane, self-serving bunch of crap in my life.
Oh, I've seen other Lefty comments that were off the hook crazy. But those ramped down into insanity. The clowns over there started out snarky and devolved into filth and hate.
I'm so glad they're the smart, thinking, evolved people amongst us, who will lead us into the promised lands of plenty, strictly by example and strength of character.

Well, we're taking the plunge and plan on building a new pool and outdoor kitchen with pergola. We have gotten designs and quotes from Puryear Custom Pools and Klapprodt Pools. We are waiting for a design from Pulliam Pools so that we can make a final PB decision.
Can anyone give me insight to these builders or suggest others to try? Would greatly appreciate the feedback as this is our first pool build and want to make an educated decision. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by paradigmdawg (My Page) on Thu, Apr 26, 12 at 10:02
We used Seahorse Custom Pools. The entire process went great and I was especially impressed with how they paid more attention to "structural integrity" during our talks vs. just painting a pretty picture. We were swimming in 3.5 weeks after they broke ground. I have had issues with 2 pumps burning out and both times, I text the builder and he had a guy out the next day to change the pumps at no cost. 3.5 years later, I still on occasion call or text the builder and he responds immediately. Give them a call and ask for Bob Buchanan, tell him Greg from Benbrook referred you and he will work out a great deal for you. Bob was at Pulliam for 20 years before he moved to Seahorse. We were least impressed with Puryear out of the 5 builders we had out. As a comparison, Bob went out to the back yard, got on his belly to look at the ground, spent time crawling around looking at various things and then we talked about a pool. Puryear busted out a computer, talked about pools and never even asked to see the yard.They they asked how we are paying for it. |
I totally agree with Seahorse. We are in Keller also, and Seahorse is just completing our pool. Bob is the best. He builds a pool like it is for family. Example, our deck was poured on the day of the tornados a few weeks ago. Needless to say, it had flaws. When I spoke with Bob the next day, his immediate response was "We will tear it out and redo it." This was without seeing it himself. He knew we were not happy and his goal was to do whatever it took to make that happen. You will not go wrong in my opinion with Seahorse. Drop me a note and come by and see for yourself. Scott |
Greg, I also live in Benbrook and like the pictures of your pool. Did Seahorse also do the wall? What kind of warranty did they give you? Did you have them do any soil sample before starting? Your pool is just beautiful. I know several people in Benbrook who used Pulliam but this forum has some adverse things about them. |
Totally unrelated to the post at hand - but paradigmdawg, what is that planted in the pool planter? It kind of looks like a red yucca. We're landscaping our pool and I'm desperately trying to get ideas from everyone's pics. |
- Posted by paradigmdawg (My Page) on Sun, Jul 22, 12 at 10:02
Yes, feel free to get a hold of me and drop by to take a look if interested. Seahorse did the wall. I do believe it's Red yucca but my wife does all the planting so I am not certain. |

Michael J. Birck Good morning, folks. You haven't heard from me on one of these quarterly investor calls for quite some time. The reason for my presence this morning is a sad one, undoubtedly known to all of you. Early this month, our CEO, Rob Pullen, lost his battle with colon cancer. This is a sad time for Tellabs as we deal with the consequences of Rob's passing and the challenges of a troubled industry. First, my personal thanks towards everyone who called or wrote to express sorrow at Rob's death. I know that many of you knew Rob personally and are as saddened as we at this turn of events. But we must go forward and there is much work to do.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying , | 1 In the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me: |
2 Son of man, because that Tyrus hath said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people: she is turned unto me: I shall be replenished , now she is laid waste : | 2 "Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gate to the nations is broken, and its doors have swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will prosper,' |
3 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause many nations to come up against thee, as the sea causeth his waves to come up . | 3 therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I am against you, O Tyre, and I will bring many nations against you, like the sea casting up its waves. |
4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock. | 4 They will destroy the walls of Tyre and pull down her towers; I will scrape away her rubble and make her a bare rock. |
5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the sea: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD: and it shall become a spoil to the nations. | 5 Out in the sea she will become a place to spread fishnets, for I have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD. She will become plunder for the nations, |
6 And her daughters which are in the field shall be slain by the sword; and they shall know that I am the LORD. | 6 and her settlements on the mainland will be ravaged by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD. |
7 For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, a king of kings, from the north, with horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen, and companies, and much people. | 7 "For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: From the north I am going to bring against Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with horsemen and a great army. |
8 He shall slay with the sword thy daughters in the field: and he shall make a fort against thee, and cast a mount against thee, and lift up the buckler against thee. | 8 He will ravage your settlements on the mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp up to your walls and raise his shields against you. |
9 And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers. | 9 He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and demolish your towers with his weapons. |
10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach . | 10 His horses will be so many that they will cover you with dust. Your walls will tremble at the noise of the war horses, wagons and chariots when he enters your gates as men enter a city whose walls have been broken through. |
11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground. | 11 The hoofs of his horses will trample all your streets; he will kill your people with the sword, and your strong pillars will fall to the ground. |
12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches, and make a prey of thy merchandise: and they shall break down thy walls, and destroy thy pleasant houses: and they shall lay thy stones and thy timber and thy dust in the midst of the water. | 12 They will plunder your wealth and loot your merchandise; they will break down your walls and demolish your fine houses and throw your stones, timber and rubble into the sea. |
13 And I will cause the noise of thy songs to cease ; and the sound of thy harps shall be no more heard . | 13 I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps will be heard no more. |
14 And I will make thee like the top of a rock: thou shalt be a place to spread nets upon; thou shalt be built no more: for I the LORD have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD. | 14 I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt, for I the LORD have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD. |
15 Thus saith the Lord GOD to Tyrus; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of thy fall, when the wounded cry , when the slaughter is made in the midst of thee? | 15 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says to Tyre: Will not the coastlands tremble at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan and the slaughter takes place in you? |
16 Then all the princes of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and lay away their robes, and put off their broidered garments: they shall clothe themselves with trembling; they shall sit upon the ground, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished at thee. | 16 Then all the princes of the coast will step down from their thrones and lay aside their robes and take off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled at you. |
17 And they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and say to thee, How art thou destroyed , that wast inhabited of seafaring men, the renowned city, which wast strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants , which cause their terror to be on all that haunt it! | 17 Then they will take up a lament concerning you and say to you: " 'How you are destroyed, O city of renown, peopled by men of the sea! You were a power on the seas, you and your citizens; you put your terror on all who lived there. |
18 Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure . | 18 Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your fall; the islands in the sea are terrified at your collapse.' |
19 For thus saith the Lord GOD; When I shall make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited ; when I shall bring up the deep upon thee, and great waters shall cover thee; | 19 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: When I make you a desolate city, like cities no longer inhabited, and when I bring the ocean depths over you and its vast waters cover you, |
20 When I shall bring thee down with them that descend into the pit, with the people of old time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go down to the pit, that thou be not inhabited ; and I shall set glory in the land of the living; | 20 then I will bring you down with those who go down to the pit, to the people of long ago. I will make you dwell in the earth below, as in ancient ruins, with those who go down to the pit, and you will not return or take your place in the land of the living. |
21 I will make thee a terror, and thou shalt be no more: though thou be sought for , yet shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord GOD. | 21 I will bring you to a horrible end and you will be no more. You will be sought, but you will never again be found, declares the Sovereign LORD." |

Lenders often will not provide medium- and long-term financing to buyers in emerging markets. The political and commercial environments in many foreign markets translate into high risk for many lenders. Moreover, credit from in-country lenders is often unavailable or prohibitively expensive to buyers. Thus, without financing, a U.S. exporter will not be able to make the sale. Ex-Im Bank's medium- and long-term financing support fills this void and enables U.S. exporters to compete with confidence worldwide.

'At least he died enjoying what he did best' -the words of trainer Philip Hobbs on his Champion Hurdle winner Rooster Booster, who collapsed and died while exercising on the gallops.
Am I the only one to feel that on this occasion the oft-repeated words we hear on a racehorse's death somehow have a hollow ring to them? Those of us who defend horse-racing against its many critics don't have our job made any easier by the decision to keep in training a former Champion Hurdler- a horse who had achieved all there was to achieve- up to just days away from his 12th birthday. Amid the tributes to a wonderful horse we should not shy away from asking some awkward questions.
Tuesday, December 20, 2005
1 comment:
It is a real dilemma.
The owner, trainer and stable staff say that "he died doing what he does best and enjoys most".And that he would have been miserable if put out to grass.
There is little doubt that all of them loved him, as did most racegoers.
But as with Best Mate, do humans REALLY know what is best for a NH Racehorse? - 11:31 AM

Is it just me? I'm seeing mildew on some of my plants that have never gotten mildew before. My verbena bonariensis has mildew and I have a lot of that stuff. It reseeds like crazy but I love it because it blooms forever and attracts butterflies. Will it kill it if I leave it alone? |
Follow-Up Postings:
I think there is more disease too. One of my heirloom roses is just completely black on the leaves...fireblight has taken and probably killed two pears and one apple tree. I think I will just cut them down and be done with it. I see mildew is starting on the phlox too. Slugs are worse this year too. |
- Posted by sunnyside1 z6/SW Mo. (My Page) on Wed, May 16, 12 at 8:05
My phlox in one bed look bad. Is it too late by that time to spray with a fungicide? And which one would you use? Sunny |
I don't have mildew but my poppies are rotting again. I know one cause and that is I don't thin them. The seed is so plentiful and small that it is easy to get too many in a small space. The blue foliage looks nice on grandma's old fashioned ones (you know what they are). The anticipation is fun but when they bloom the foliage is ugly and rotting at the bottom. If I took a picture of just the flowers you would think they are beautiful. I will still plant them again but I hope I remember to thin. The Shirley poppies are easy and bright. They seem to take the crowding well. |
I see some mildew on some of the dogwoods and a few other things. I've read if you spray them with Wilt-Pruf or another antidessicant (that you spray on broad-leaf evergreens--and your Christmas tree--in the winter to keep them from drying out in the winter sun and wind) that it will keep them from getting powdery mildew but I never remember to do it until too late. My poppies were gorgeous this year too but I've lost most of my colors. I just had lavender ones and one salmon pink this year. I need to order some seeds if I can find them. There were a couple of wildflower seed catalogs that had them a couple years ago, I hope they still do. Sandy |

"For defendant, or other adverse parties, or any one or more of several defendants or other adverse parties, or interveners, appearing separately from the others, or a respondent on appeal from justice court, shall pay when his or their appearance is entered in the cause, or when his or their first appearance is filed therein, a fee of three dollars;
"For preparing and certifying copies, or transcripts of records, with or without seal for the first legal size page, one dollar; for each additional legal size page, fifty cents;
"For the certifying of copies furnished or transcripts of records furnished which copies or transcripts are not prepared by the clerk, one dollar for the first legal size or smaller page and twenty-five cents for each additional legal size or smaller page;
"For the entry of judgment or dismissal in all civil actions, with or without costs, three dollars shall be paid if no adverse party has appeared; otherwise six dollars;
"In probate proceedings, the party instituting such proceedings shall pay, at the time of the filing of the first paper therein, a fee of six dollars; upon the filing of a petition for the sale of real estate, there shall be paid at the time of filing such petition a fee of three dollars; upon the filing of a final account in the settlement of the decedent's estate, there shall be paid a fee of six dollars; for filing any petition to contest a will admitted to probate, there shall be paid a fee of twenty-five dollars;"
"Every officer who shall be called on or required to perform service for which no fees or compensation are provided for in this chapter shall be allowed fees similar and equal to those allowed him for services of the same kind for which allowance is made herein."
Guardianship proceedings are generally controlled by chapters 11.88 and 11.92 RCW, which constitute one segment of Title 11 entitled "Probate [[Orig. Op. Page 3]] Law and Procedure." Thus, guardianship proceedings are now recognized as probate proceedings and, thus, must be included in the term "probate proceedings" as employed in RCW 36.18.020. In Re Deming, 192 Wash. 190.
The next question which necessarily arises is whether the sixth paragraph of RCW 36.18.020, pertaining to "probate proceedings," necessarily restricts clerks' fees, that may possibly be charged in the course of probate, merely to the three situations stated in that paragraph. We do not believe that was the intent of the legislature.
It is our opinion that the purpose of the said "probate paragraph" was to provide for clerks' fees in certain instances peculiar to probate proceedings and not to be the exclusive statutory authority for authorizing clerks' fees in matters relative to probate matters.
Certainly paragraph 3 of RCW 36.18.020, which refers to fees for certifying copies or transcripts of records, applies as well to transcripts and records of probate matters as it does to strictly civil matters.
A "final judgment" is an instrument that is not peculiar to probate proceedings alone but encompasses the field of civil law in general. Like certified copies of transcripts of records, it may arise out of a contract or tort action as well as a proceeding in probate. A "final judgment" is unlike a "final account in the settlement of a decedent's estate," which latter instrument is known exclusively to probate proceedings.
The relationship of probate proceedings with civil proceedings in general is well expressed inFilley v. Murphy, 30 Wash. 1, as cited inMeeker v. Winyer, 48 Wash. 27:
"'. . . In this state we have no probate court, properly speaking, as distinguished from the court that entertains jurisdiction of other matters. The court of general jurisdiction also hears and determines probate matters. Matters pertaining to probate are referred to what is called "probate procedure," as distinguished from what is denominated "civil" or "criminal procedure." But when the court, sitting in a probate proceeding, discovers in a petition the statement of facts which forms the basis of a controversy, we see no reason why it may not settle the issues thereunder when an appearance has been made thereto, and then proceed to try it in a proper manner, as any other civil cause.'"
[[Orig. Op. Page 4]]
RCW 36.18.050 provides that an officer, such as a county clerk, when called on to perform a service for which compensation is not specifically provided, may charge a fee equal to that for a service of a kind for which compensation is allowed.
The fifth paragraph of RCW 36.18.020 specifies a charge to be made in civil proceedings for filing a judgment.
Thus, it is our opinion that the sixth paragraph of RCW 36.18.020 provides authority for clerks' fees in proceedings which refer only to probate matters, but that those matters which arise in probate proceedings which are common to other phases of civil practice, such as final judgments, and for which clerks' fees are provided, are subject to a clerk's fee by virtue of RCW 36.18.050.
We hope the foregoing analysis will be of assistance to you.
Very truly yours,
DON EASTVOLDAttorney General

Last summer I bought a Remusatia vivipara at the plant store at the UC Botanical Garden in Berkeley. I don't remember how much, but I'm guessing +/- $8 The plant is now dormant. When I bought it it had several stolons. I was expecting it to make bulbils on the stolons, but it didn't, unless I'm missing something, or earlier missed something. In spite of the dormancy the stolons seem firm and "alive". Can they be laid on top of the soil (or below) and/or chopped up to propagate the plant? I also noticed a rhizome near ground level. I was digging around it and it broke off. This also looks viable. Can I assume this can be somehow planted and used for propagation? Please correct my terminology, if any of it is in error. Here's what the plant looks like now. The main bulb is of course beneath the soil. The piece of rhizome is below the pot. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I do mean the main tuber is beneath the soil, of course. I suppose that makes them tubercles, not bulbils, technically. |
- Posted by tropicbreezent (My Page) on Wed, Feb 27, 13 at 10:38
I'm on a bit of a learning curve with these. Only found out about them when I found some plants coming out of dormancy late last year. Didn't even know they were a native here. Now I've got 4 large plants in pots. One had those stolons which seem to have "disappeared". But they're producing small plantlets next to the main plants. From what I've read the bulbils will produce plants, not the stolon itself. Those that I found were all growing as lithophytes, but apparently they're commonly epiphytes as well, and will grow as terrestrials. This is the link to the thread I started on them last year. |

John Donne (1572–1631) printed almost none of his poetry during his lifetime, choosing instead to circulate it in manuscript. Even after the posthumous publication of his Poems in 1633, some of his poetry remained unavailable in print. In fact, Donne's famous elegy "To His Mistress Going to Bed" was first printed in a 1654 anthology and was not included in Donne's works until the 1669 edition. The poem was nonetheless quite popular. It survives in over 70 known manuscript copies, though none is in Donne's hand. (There is only one surviving holograph of the roughly 200 poems which Donne wrote.) "To His Mistress Going to Bed" is an excellent illustration of what Arthur Marotti has termed the "social textuality" of manuscript circulation. This term describes the willingness of many amateur scribes and compilers to consciously reshape or reframe the poems they copied. These scribes adopted a shared, "open source" approach, fitting the texts they copied to their particular social needs rather than attempting an exact reproduction of an authorial ideal.
Scribes and compilers felt free to provide their own answers to questions about the nature of the texts they copied and collected. Is the poem a general reflection on a commonly shared experience? Is it a poetic record of an event in the life of its author, (in the case of Donne, the now famous Dean of St. Paul's)? Is it a work of imagination created by an artist and to be admired primarily as an expression of his craft? The ways in which a particular scribe answered these questions can be gleaned from the kinds of collections in which a scribe placed a poem and from the identifying information—a title, indication of authorship or of the context which produced the poem—included or omitted in a copy. The various manuscript versions reveal more intimately than can a printed edition the range of ways in which the poem was used and understood by readers.
A range of scribal strategies is illustrated in the eight copies of "To His Mistress Going to Bed" at the Folger Shakespeare Library. Three of these manuscripts are in bound verse miscellanies compiled by their owners during the 1630s, and each reflects something of that scribe's habits of collection and interest in the poem.
The compiler of V.a.262 provided his poetic miscellany with the title "Divers Sonnetts & Poems compiled by certaine gentil Clerks and Ryme-Wrightes," which was revised from a still visible first title, "Certaine Sonnets and Divers Works of gentil Clerks." There is a lack of any attribution of authorship here even though three earlier poems in the manuscript are correctly attributed to "Dr. Donne." |
The compiler of V.a.103 divided his poetic miscellany with various running heads: "Epitaphs - Laudatory," "Epitaphs - Satiricall and Merry," "Love Sonnets," "Panegyricks," "Satyres," "Miscellenea," and a one-poem unit labeled "An Elegie." The running heads seem to have been entered before the poems were copied below them, making V.a.103 a commonplace book.
The compiler of V.a.125 includes "To His Mistress" amongst a group of poems written by Donne. It is preceded by a fragmentary copy of "The Will," lines 32–36 of which appear at the top of the page, and followed by "Love's Diet" and "The Perfume," titled "To his Mrs." by this compiler.
Consider how the paratextual identifying information included in (or omitted from) each copy of the poem changes the way we understand it. How do the different titles alter our reading of the poem? What are we to make of the presence or lack of attribution to a particular author? What about the kind of collection in which the poem is included? Brief descriptions of each collection are provided above. Do the different hands (or writing styles) of the scribe suggest anything about their attitudes toward the poem?
In addition to these paratextual elements, pay close attention to the internal textual differences from manuscript to manuscript (your modern edition of the poem should be especially helpful here). How often do these scribal copies differ from one another? How often do they differ from your modern edition? (If you are having trouble, you might focus in on the first four and the last four lines, each of which should reveal interesting differences.) How do they differ in terms of their use of punctuation? Of spelling?

on May 11, 2012The microphone is always open, the camera is always on, and Scott Walker, the goggle-eyed homunculus hired by Koch Industries to run their midwestern subsidiary formerly known as the state of Wisconsin, is always saying the wrong thing to the wrong people.
In the video in that link there, which you should really watch all the way through, the billionaire Diane Hendricks tells Walker she wants to discuss "controversial" subjects away from reporters, asking him: "Any chance we'll ever get to be a completely red state and work on these unions "
"Oh, yeah," Walker broke in.
" and become a right-to-work?" Hendricks continued. "What can we do to help you?"
"Well, we're going to start in a couple weeks with our budget adjustment bill," Walker said. "The first step is we're going to deal with collective bargaining for all public employee unions, because you use divide and conquer."
And this is the Diane Hendricks who took over the business after her husband died in a fall, the one who's been full wingnut for some time now:
"People have lost what this nation was built on," Hendricks said. "I think our core values have been set aside. . . . I believe in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights. If we just go back to the basics.... I do not want to give up our republic and become a socialistic ideological nation. That's not who we are.
And somewhat of a notable fibber:
As an example, she pointed to the site of the former Beloit Corp., a large, abandoned factory complex in downtown Beloit that she and Ken bought and turned into an attractive office and industrial park called the Ironworks. "Today, 15 businesses operate in what used to be 800,000 square feet of vacant space, and 1,400 jobs were created," Hendricks wrote. Hundreds of those jobs, however, are not new, and nearly half are not now located at the Ironworks.
She has already kicked in a neat $500K to Walker's coffers a group of coffers which, of course, include a legal defense fund that Walker has set up to defend himself in the ongoing John Doe investigation into his time as Milwaukee County Commissioner. By the way, that investigation just picked up a new witness in the last couple of days.

December Is Cruel Month For Worcester Firefighters December 4, 2012 As December rolls into the city, the streets get colder, the wind sharper and the steps of men and women in the Worcester Fire Department get a little heavier.
Remembering Worcester: My Friends As time wore on some of us began retiring and others got promoted, we still continue to see each other.
Award Ceremony Spotlights Worcester December 4, 2009 It was fitting and proper that the 2009 Massachusetts Firefighter of the Year Award Ceremony was moved to Worcester from Boston this year as a way to acknowledge the 10th anniversary of the loss of the Worcester Six.
A Fitting Tribute to the Worcester Six December 4, 2009 Like thunder rolling through a valley, the heavy beat of the pipe and drum brigade reverberated off buildings in downtown Worcester, advancing to the site.
Last 10 Years Worcester's Proudest December 3, 2009 Walter Giard is closing in on 40 years with the Worcester Fire Department and the last 10 have been his proudest. He has watched, and in many cases directed, the transformation of the department since the fire in the Worcester Cold Storage and Warehouse...
Worcester Chief: Feels Like Yesterday December 3, 2009 A decade is a long time, but at the same time it seems like yesterday in Worcester. Some in the rank and file are ready to move on. Never forget the losses the department suffered on Dec. 3, 1999, but stay focused on the future.

Dale Smith, president of Serialtek in Silicon Valley, has gone missing along with two of his children, Amber and Daniel, and their partners.
The plane registered to Smith went missing in central Idaho backcountry on Sunday, and rescuers haven't been able to find Smith and his family.
Smith's business partner Rand Kriech said Smith was in the plane, reported the San Jose Mercury News.
Kriech said colleagues at the company are very concerned.
"We're hopeful," Kriech said. "Today is the first day they'll have a good clean search and have a good chance of finding them. I think today is going to be a good day."
On Sunday and Monday, poor weather derailed rescuers from extensive searching.

Manhattan Building
Manhattan Building
Structure in General
high-rise building
spread foundation
chicago school
residential condominium
- The building is a famous example of early skyscraper architecture, and is the earliest surviving skyscraper in the world with such a purely skeletal supporting structure.
- The façade is a melange of different treatments and features with projecting bays set at different heights; a rusticated stone base; and varied ornamentation in different sections.
- This is the third-oldest highrise surviving in Chicago, predated only by the Rookery and the Auditorium Building.
- For many years the south wall showed the scars of the adjoining building's demolition, which occurred when Congress Avenue was widened in the 1950s.
- When the Chicago Public Library was built across the street, the winning design originally called for a shallow postmodern structure covering the Manhattan's south facade, leading to a pedestrian bridge over Congress Avenue.
- The stepped design was chosen to reduce the load on the party walls at the side of the building, where it was more difficult to insert piers as strong as the central ones. The side walls are partly cantilevered for the same reason.
- The brick facade is attached to the steel frame by hangers, allowing a looser connection to avoid cracking when the internal frame settles or expands.
- The terra cotta ornamentation includes leaf designs as well as smiling and frowning faces.
- Windows on the top 5 floors are flush with the surface because they were not shaded by surrounding buildings and had less need to capture extra sunlight.

MISSOULA - The many recent improvements to the Arthur and Sixth Street area include bright green bike lanes to mark the lanes.
Missoula Bicycle Pedestrian Program Manager Ben Weiss says he hopes the green paint will increase bike-ability in Missoula.
Weiss says most feedback has been positive and bikers feel more comfortable traveling in the newly colored lanes.
Weiss says he hopes to fit Third Street and Catlin into the paint budget next year.
The League of American Bicyclists named Missoula a Bike-Friendly City in 2003, and since then the city has continued to encourage programs like Missoula in Motion and Bike Walk Bus week.

Now You See Me
Four magicians of varying fame, Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), Merritt McKinney (Woody Harrelson), Henley Reeves (Isla Fisher) and Jack Wilder (Dave Franco) are each given a Tarot card with an apartment's address in New York City. As they each arrive and introduce themselves, there is a noticeable tension between Daniel and Henley as she used to be his assistant before she struck out on her own. Entering the apartment they find it abandoned and largely empty; but soon a series of actions activates a projector that shows the magicians plans for a series of devices for stage illusions. One year later, the quartet billing themselves as the Four Horsemen begins performing in Las Vegas with their act bankrolled by successful insurance magnate Arthur Tressler (Michael Caine). For the final act of their show, the Four Horsemen announce they are going to rob a bank. Picking an audience member randomly, they pull out a Frenchman whose bank is in Paris. They make the man disappear and he finds himself standing in a vault in front of a giant pile of Euro notes. They are able to communicate with the man via a headset. The magicians tell him to push a button on the headset that starts a high-powered air circulation system, sucking the money out of the vault. The money then begins to rain down on the audience in Las Vegas. In fact, three million Euros did disappear from the bank in Paris. The FBI, led by agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo), arrests the four magicians. Since the crime was committed in Paris, INTERPOL sends agent Alma Dray (Melanie Laurent) to join with the FBI's investigation. Since neither the FBI nor INTERPOL can figure out how the heist was pulled off, the four are released but will stay under surveillance. Agent Rhodes approaches Thaddeus Bradley (Morgan Freeman) for help in figuring out how they pulled it off. Bradley has made a name for himself by telling the world how magicians do their tricks. One magician who Bradley exposed even tried a comeback and may have died while in a safe at the bottom of a river. Bradley quickly figures out all the mechanics and timelines of the Paris heist, explaining it all to an incredulous Rhodes. Dray seems more accepting of the explanation and begins reading up on magicians and their history. She discovers a secret organization called the Eye that is supposed to only be made up of the greatest magicians. Perhaps the bank heist and the two more planned shows in New Orleans and New York are the tests required by the Eye for membership of the Four Horsemen. Rhodes is determined to capture the magicians and end their crime spree even if he cannot figure out how they do it.
"Now You See Me" is like some of the horses you see running in the Kentucky Derby: They start out strong, running fast and leading the pack at first, then they fade and drop back as the really good horses make their way to the front. This film begins with some very strong scenes of close up magic and large stage illusions, shifting in a high gear with the first heist and the frustration of the FBI agents. Then it begins to lose steam and becomes increasingly more unbelievable and chaotic as it approaches the first of its several endings. It also develops a love affair between two characters that is utterly unnecessary and adds a twist that should be fairly obvious to anyone who pays attention.
Let's talk about that first part of the movie. It begins with fairly lengthy introductions to the Four Horsemen, giving us a little background on each and how their personalities shape the kind of magic they perform. These early scenes are interesting and give us an idea about what makes these characters tick. The first inkling of trouble should have been the arrival of the Tarot cards. We later learn there's nothing about the address that is connected to any of them and the urgency of getting there doesn't make any sense. That is forgotten as we get to the Las Vegas show and the group's spectacular illusion.
While much of what's presented as magic is done with digital effects in the film, this first trick seems to be the most realistic and the most likely to actually be possible. There's also a good bit of fun with the FBI interrogations as each magician is able to use their knowledge to stymie the investigation. The interview with Harrelson's character, who is a mentalist, is especially entertaining. When the trick is later explained by Bradley, it all makes sense. This is where the movie begins to come off the rails. I have expressed before my dislike of the character, usually a super-villain of some sort, who is able to pull off his plots and schemes with clockwork-like perfection. He has his people everywhere they need to be in order to be informed of everything that's going on. His operatives are always in the right place at the right time with the right information to carry out the plan. There's a similar situation here with the Four Horsemen pulling together all the aspects of their plan with absolute perfection every time. Timing must be perfect for each event otherwise the whole plot will fall apart. It takes only trying to plan a meal where all the foods are ready at about the same time to see how impossible it is for anything even mildly complicated to time out perfectly. The intricate plots devised to make their mixture of massive illusions and crimes work would implode with the slightest mistake. Even when it seems something has gone wrong, it turns out to have been just another cog in the machine of their plot. All this perfection tends to get a bit tedious after a while.
Another problem I have with the movie is the complete lack of interest this quartet has in the person who brought them all together. While it is mentioned a time or two, it isn't a big part of the story. If I am going to be involved in a conspiracy to rob banks and steal millions of dollars, I'd be more than a little curious about who was pulling the strings and what their ultimate motive is. None of the Four Horsemen seem all that interested in knowing about any of it.
As the film moves on toward its numerous conclusions the tricks and the plot becomes more convoluted, more impossible and more farfetched. Real stage illusions are impressive enough and could have been worked into the plot without having to resort to utterly improbable tricks that required CGI. As each unlikely event plays out, the credibility of the story and the characters begins to collapse, wasting what are a very likable cast and an interesting premise that starts with a lot of momentum.
"Now You See Me" is rated PG-13 for language, some action and sexual content. There are a few fights and one very bad car wreck. The sexual content is brief and no naughty bits are exposed. Foul language is widely spread and not terribly bad.
I had high hopes for "Now You See Me" based on the trailer. It seemed to be a caper film from a completely different perspective. What it actually is turns out to be a good start that uses many of the same tried and true movie tropes that we've all seen a million times and descends into familiar territory far too easily. My hopes are dashed but perhaps next time….
"Now You See Me" gets three guitars out of five.
