The convertible CUV boasts an impressive set of cargo capacities. There's 7.6 cu-ft of space with the electronically actuated top stowed; 12.3 cu-ft with the top up. Sure, that's not a lot, but it bests most other convertibles.
The automaker's versatile 3.5-liter V-6 continues to power all four wheels. It's rated at 265 horsepower and 248 pound-feet of torque and mated to an Xtronic CVT gearbox.
Final EPA fuel economy ratings and a complete pricing schedule have yet to be released, but given the very niche buyer segment, we're guessing those won't matter much. The 2011 Nissan CrossCabriolet executes its mission as a eye-raising modern day crossover, but is it enough to be worthy of an entirely new segment? We'll let you know once we drive one.

I was standing in line OCing in Walmart on Tropicana in Las Vegas and a rather large woman behind me yelled,
"Excuse me, why can YOU carry a gun?"
My reply was, "because the law says I can. If you can legally own a gun and have it registered, you may carry exactly how I'm doing right now."
"Who can carry a gun?"
Again I reply, "anyone who can legally own a gun"
An older man directly behind me in line in a wheelchair then asked if I was carrying a .45 and I informed him that I had a .357 SIG. He asked if I had a CC permit and I told him I'd taken the class and that I was still waiting on my permit. He said he'd been thinking about doing the class as well because of all the crazies around. At this point one of the woman's friends piped up with the typical "wannabe gangbanger" comment of, "I'mma go get my gat right now!" I'm sure they were once again offended now that a fellow shopper had engaged with me in a conversation about guns. At this point I figured it was a lost cause and now that I had checked out and paid for my merchandise, now was a good of time as ever just to leave the situation. I just wasn't in the mood to argue with non-gun owning idiots that were pretending to own firearms. I felt that my job was well done making a few sheep uncomfortable!

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Subject: Katrina aftermath
Mr. Mongoven,
Why is there no focus on what the local and state governments
did wrong regarding Katrina? Sure seems to me that there is plenty of
corruption at those levels which impedes the efforts of the federal
government. My answer is the power comes from the federal coffers so
the liberal democrat party presidential candidates want to make this a
federal issue. The reality is the local and state governments of LA are
mired in the past and won't make the necessary changes. Why is the
failure of these governments so seldom mentioned?
Thank you, Mike

Beach Bum Tanning's high-tech beds, sunless booths, and tailored beauty treatments regularly appear in press outlets such as Allure magazine. The salon's heated Mystic HD booths spritz bodies with vibrant pigment while warming skin to ensure optimal and even color saturation without having to bear-hug King Midas. Certified Airbrush Artists also implement customized airbrush tans over 150 ways by using a combination of fine-point-guided and wide-point-guided guns to shade and contour a custom-tinted tan to the body's curves, bends, and highway overpasses.
The staffers at Sizzle Tans make it their mission to guide customers through each location?s selection of beds, sunless-tanning options, and teeth-whitening treatments. Their collection of beds is broken into three different intensity levels and includes Ergoline's Open Sun 1050 and the temperature-controlled Prestige 1100. For customers who don't want to expose themselves to UV rays, Sizzle Tans has two sunless solutions: a trained technician can carefully airbrush bodies by hand, or clients can step into a VersaSpa booth equipped with nozzles that automatically coat skin evenly in tanning solution.
Chandeliers, a stone-front fireplace, and ornately framed mirrors exude elegance inside Moxie Luxe Salon. Located within Riverside Square Mall, the salon's crown molding hugs the cream, pale-green, and purple walls that surround stylists as they cut and color hair. Other beauty services include organic airbrush tans and teeth whitening, which can give you higher visibility while streaking at night.
Complimentary plush towels and protective eyewear are just a few of the pluses at California Tanning Salon. Only stocking beds less than three years old and changing tanning bulbs at 75% of their projected life are a few of the others. This attention to details is all in the service of their customers and quality tans. As all three of their salons boast at least 10 beds, they also treat customers to the convenience of never needing an appointment. Catering to those preferring sunless tans, they offer the Mystic Tan automated spray booth at the Ledgewood location. Furthermore, customers can partake in a Midas Touch with customized airbrush bronzing at the Clifton location.
For the past nine years, Designer Skin Tanning & Spa has been pampering customers with convenient, custom tanning and spa services. Open seven days a week, the business offers walk-in tanning (except for spray tanning, for which reservations are required) from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, so customers can easily fit tanning into any hectic work or goat-milking schedule. Eight UV beds help pale bodies to acquire the best tan for their skin type, and custom airbrush spray tans highlight contours with golden, sun-free highlights administered by female tanning professionals.
Shelves stocked with the brand's own signature Designer Skin tanning lotions share space with other high-quality tanning products from Swedish Beauty and Devoted Creations. Beyond combating chronic pallor, the spa also offers soothing facials, body wraps, and waxing services to keep skin smooth and Mac makeup to keep faces from fading away.

The presenter told The Sunday Mirror's Notebook magazine: "It's so hard to know when I'm going to go into labour. I'm just going to keep working until one day I don't come back in again. That's what I've done before.
"My job is sat on a sofa. I'm sitting down all the time on This Morning, and on Celebrity Juice I'm behind a desk. So don't feel too sorry for me."
Holly announced her third pregnancy with husband Dan Baldwin in March.
Sharing the news via her website, she admitted the pregnancy was a "surprise" but they were "happy and excited" to be expecting the new arrival.

The Hidden Helpers of Early Modern Authors and Scholars
Description: Today we are well aware of the collaborative nature of intellectual work. The majority of scientific papers are co-authored; in the humanities, interdisciplinary initiatives and digital methods of research encourage collaboration. We have a general sense that such collaborative work is relatively new, that scholarship was a solitary activity in the past. In paintings and descriptions of the early modern period, scholars typically were depicted working alone. But the papers and letters that survive tell a different story, capturing how early modern scholars worked collaboratively through correspondence and in person with peers, patrons, and helpers (amanuenses, students, family members). Based on examples from paintings, manuscripts, and printed books, Professor Ann Blair will argue that collaboration was just as (and perhaps even more) widespread and essential to scholarship during the early modern period than it is in current times. Clark University Provost Davis Baird (Philosophy) will offer commentary.
The Roots of Everything is a lecture series sponsored by Early Modernists Unite (EMU) — a faculty collaborative bringing together scholars of medieval and early modern England and America — in conjunction with the Higgins School of Humanities. Supported by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the series highlights various aspects of modern existence originating in the early modern world and teases out the connections between the two.
Ann Blair is the Henry Charles Lea Professor of History at Harvard University. She specializes in the cultural and intellectual history of early modern Europe (16th-17th centuries), with an emphasis on France. Her interests include the history of the book and of education, the history of the disciplines and of scholarship, early modern natural philosophy and its interactions with religion. She has published Too Much To Know: Managing Scholarly Information Before the Modern Age (Yale University Press, 2010).
Wednesday, October 22 @ 4:30pm | Higgins Lounge at Dana Commons | Clark University
Free and open to the public.
Dana Commons is located on the corner of Florence and Maywood on the Clark campus in Worcester, MA. Directions to Clark, along with links to parking information and a campus map, can be found here. More information about the Higgins School of Humanities can be found here. Stay up to date with Higgins School of the Humanities events via Facebook.
Join us for an exploration of collaborative work in the early modern and contemporary world.
(This post is a slightly edited version of the talk I gave at the Society of Early Americanists "London and the Americas, 1492-1812″ conference at Kingston University, July 17-21, 2014. The presentation was part of a round table entitled "Puritan Studies in Post-Americanist Times." I am indebted to Tom Knoles and Elizabeth Pope at the American Antiquarian Society for an ongoing series of conversations and insights about the Mather Library collection.)
Let me start by showing you just one of many reasons why the Mather Library is such a headache:
Today we are concerned with the little striped block on the far right-hand side of the chart, which represents about 1,000 volumes spanning two centuries of Mather book collecting, many sold in 1814 to Isaiah Thomas, printer and founder of the American Antiquarian Society, by Hannah Mather Crocker, Mather descendant and an antiquarian scholar in her own right. Crocker gave additional volumes to the AAS directly. When Thomas gave the bulk of this collection to the AAS, he first assessed a value for each book, which he inked inside the front cover ("50 Cts" for example), and then compiled an index of the whole, arranging it by format—folios, quartos, etc. His inventory was a boon for future book historians, notwithstanding the errors and inconsistencies, vagueness of titles and authors, nor the fact that entire volumes of multiple pamphlets and other imprints bound together were listed simple as English Tracts 1, English Tracts 2, etc.
A full bibliographic description of the collection was not attempted until almost a century later. The color plate above comes from Julius Tuttle's checklist, published in the AAS Proceedings in 1910. Tuttle's list is alphabetical by author, with short, sometimes incorrect titles and (most helpfully) with indication of provenance markings, such as the names former Mather owners. ("Increase Mather," for example, or even more often, "Crescentius Mather," as he often inscribes his name in Latin.) Tuttle's checklist is incomplete, in part due to idiosyncrasies of shelving and record keeping over time. Tuttle's list also excludes (for the most part) continental imprints, focusing instead on American and some English printing. And there were undoubtedly other volumes that Tuttle simply couldn't find. Some collections of pamphlets bound together at the time of the original gift, for example, migrated through the collections. Virtually all of these composite collections were disbound, making it hard to distinguish whether or not a single title was originally part of the Mather collection. In the twentieth century, many good souls worked to fill in Tuttle's gaps, and if you ask at the reader services desk, they will bring you—if they can locate it—an annotated offprint of the Tuttle checklist with almost forty percent more entries handwritten on interleaved inserts.
In the 1980s, head of reader services Keith Arbour compiled a card catalog which—while still incomplete—was substantially more comprehensive than the annotated Tuttle and bibliographically more precise. Again, if you ask at the desk, they will bring you out a folder of Arbour's notes, including instructions to a woman (yet unnamed in my research) who assisted in writing out the cards in pencil. While still incomplete, the card catalog adds items not included by Tuttle, such as an eleven-volume manuscript sermon cycle on Revelations bought by Increase Mather in London in 1691. Arbour's card catalog misses elusive continental imprints that have fallen through the cracks over two centuries of curatorial preference for American imprints.
In the Mather Library, fortunately, uncataloged volumes are relatively easy to locate. The current call number system—Mather Library 0001, Mather Library 0002, etc.—was determined by the order in which the books were on the shelves at the moment the Library decided that the old call number system (specific to the physical layout of the former library building) needed to be revised. With the new call number system, each item has a number, even if it doesn't have a catalog record. So, in theory, if you generate a spreadsheet of the Mather Library catalog records by call number, you can simply look to see where the gaps are, and there you will find an uncatalogued book, most likely a continental imprint.
There is much more to say about retrospective conversion, the process whereby card catalogs are converted to electronic catalog records, almost always offsite, where no confirmation of bibliographic details is possible. The correction of Mather Library conversion records continues to this day. The American imprints seem to be in order now. One cataloger is just about done with cross referencing English imprints against ESTC (English Short Title Catalogue) records, and another has begun working through the continental imprints, though the many demands on her time continually interrupt progress. To date she has finished about twenty records. This process of correcting retrospective conversion creates a reliable record the essential bibliographic information: title, author, publication information, cross reference to external databases. It leaves out (for now, at least) owner's inscriptions, reader's marks, and other copy-specific features.
These copy-specific features, of course, are why I muck about in the Mather Library in the first place. One of my first finds in the collection, through nearly random chance, was a volume owned by Increase Mather made up of four titles by Hugh Broughton dealing with millenialist theory: bound together in a single thick but fragile volume, a mixture of printed texts and manuscript copies of printed texts, illustrations and fold outs, all heavily annotated by Increase Mather himself. I can make notes on extraordinary finds such as this—and I can catalog them in excel or zotero or whatever other software someone will undoubtedly recommend to me during Q&A—but there is no true metadata potential here until the fundamental cataloging of author, title, and publication is complete *and* until each volume is scruitinzed by very analog and clunky methods. Frankly, without major extramural resources, this work can never be done comprehensively. Only piecemeal by foolhardy enthusiasts like myself and anyone else I might interest in this Sisephean Task.
Before we get ahead of ourselves, though, we must stop to reflect that, as a collection, it is not clear what, exactly, the "Mather Library" is. We would like to think it is a glimpse of the accumulated intellectual history of multiple-generations of Mathers. And it is. But it is also impossibly idiosyncratic, as Tuttle's chart suggests. Even if Hannah Mather Crocker's portion was representative, which it may or may not have been, she was generous with her books. Just like others before in her family, she lent, gifted, and sold individual titles within her extensive Boston-area network. William Bentley, a Salem minister, visited the collection frequently and recorded with alarm in his diary that he found the collection "much diminished." Does this mean, to begin with, that the Mather Library collection that Thomas snagged was, in a sense, remainders? Those titles of not enough interest to have been already carried away by 1814? Such a skew—the absence of books, we could say—might reflect not the collecting habits of the Mathers so much as the lively interests of early eighteenth-century ministers and antiquarians. Then, too, curatorial practice has preferred some imprints over others, deliberately or accidentally altering identity and meaning. The Mather Library—like all archive—is whatever we can get our hands one, whatever we can describe, whatever we can catalog. It is accidental, contingent, conjectural, murky. Just as we talk about ideal readers only to immediately complicate that notion, so, too, we might need to theorize the Ideal Mather Library and then trouble what we imagine that collection to be.
In the time remaining, I would like to show you some examples of how one might go about this project of conjecture. For the past few weeks, I've been looking at books owned by Increase Mather, volumes that he likely bought during his time in London from 1688 to 1692 where he was working to reinstate the colonial Charter. To make my task more manageable, I chose to focus only on the "B" section of the 1980's Arbour card catalog, flipping through and pulling likely candidates based on handwritten indications of provenance information—a tiny "IM" penciled in the bottom right hand corner.
One goes to the archive to seek the kind of artifacts that intellectual historians dream about. For example, say you wanted to see how Increase and his son Cotton were influenced by Robert Boyle's work. In this case, you would be very happy, finding in the collection a presentation copy from Boyle himself, as well as another copy with handwritten notes by Increase Mather indexing passages on topics like witchcraft and smallpox. These discoveries are what I call the Smoking Guns. They are incredibly wonderful and incredibly rare finds.
More often, however, you will find a copy—possibly with an owner inscription, possibly not—sometimes with marginal ink or pencil annotations, but usually no handwriting to identify and date, and no way of knowing if a mark is Increase Mather's or that of some avid AAS reader from back in the days when, I suspect, people marked books in archives with impunity for the sake of their pressing antiquarian researches. All you can say about such copies is "this at one time was associated with the Mathers and now it lives here." Let's call these finds: the Blind Alleys.
And then, not infrequently, you find what you do not expect. Let's say, for example, you'd like to trace the role of skepticism in Increase's thought, or perhaps the sources that inform Cotton's Christian Philosopher. You could pull up the Mather Library copy of Sir Thomas Browne's Religio Medici (bound together with two related titles not by Browne) and see that Isaiah Thomas valued the book at 50 cents in 1814. Accordingly you would know 1) that the book passed through Isaiah Thomas's hands, 2) that it was associated with the Mather library, and 3) that it was roughly equivalent in value to any number of other books in the collection in the early nineteenth century. No Smoking Gun here.
Then again, if you happen to look into the gutter, that place at the spine of the book between the cover boards and text block, you might see this:
a scrap of printer's waste paper, marbled on one side, used in some repair, probably in the very early nineteenth century, (as indicated by the Snail or Curl pattern of the marbling).
You might even recognize the distinctive black and blue coloring from other items you've seen and realize that this little scrap of paper in the gutter is a sheet from an illicitly printed copy of John Cleland's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, or Fanny Hill.
This marbled waste paper appears not infrequently, especially in the AAS collections, probably because Isaiah Thomas's binder, to whom he sent many books to be rebound and repaired from around 1812 to 1814, seemed to have a large supply of the stuff.
Hilarious juxtapositions abound, with the distinctive erotica covering printed material such as sermons (including a manuscript volume of Cotton Mather's sermons in th Mather family papers)and even the Worcester County Court Records volume that recounts proceedings against several booksellers fined for selling other illicit editions of Fanny Hill. Because you can make out just a little bit of the text on the page, you can also determine that the marbled sheet in the gutter of the Mather Library copy of Browne's Religio Medici comes not from the A gathering that makes up most of what is housed at AAS but the B gathering, as recently identified as Princeton Library's Rare Book Division.
This is called Going Down a Rabbit Hole. It is both tedious and fun. It is provocative of much speculative thought, flights of fancy, as well as genuine theoretical reframing of book history and material textual analysis. It does not, however, tell you a lick about the intellectual sources of skepticism for Increase or Cotton Mather's writing. It tells you only what you knew before: that the book passed through Isaiah Thomas's hands and that it was associated with the Mather library.
I'll end with just a bit about Increase Mather's acquisition of books while in London from 1688 to 1692, as this is what the title of my paper has promised. I began looking for evidence of book buying by Increase Mather in London and found a number of books (in the B section of the card catalog, of course) which Mather inscribed along with date and place of purchase, as in this 1689 copy of Richard Baxter's The English Nonconformity ("I. Mather. London. October. 15. 1689."):
I was grateful for the tiny Smoking Gun. Let's just call this one a derringer, though, because the other reader annotations not nearly so interesting. The imprint is by Thomas Parkhurst, a non-conformist-leaning bookseller that had also sold Mather that uncataloged eleven-volume manuscript sermon cycle on Revelations that I mentioned earlier. In fact, Parkhurst's name pops up again and again in the title pages of Increase Mather's books. I think he shopped at Mr. Parkhurst's a lot.
Mather also acquired a good number of books from authors directly. The Arbour card catalog fortunately records when books are inscribed "ex dono authoris," a gift of the author, such at this copy of Baxter's The Church Concord:
Now we can begin tracing out not only bookselling networks but the intellectual and social networks implicated therein. Parkhurst printed many of Baxter's works. Baxter not only gave books to Mather but also dedicates a book to the New England minister. These book networks, simultaneously intellectual and material, authorial and commercial, are sometimes complex, as evidenced by this volume,
"ex dono authoris," by Thomas Beverly, who gave a copy of his book to Increase Mather, as he indicates in this letter (now tipped into the volume in a particularly unattractive mid-century library rebinding) because Mather was the dedicatee of the work by Baxter which Beverly is attacking in his own book. I can't help wonder how Increase received this gift. With interest? With irritation? With patience? A marginal note on the last printed page in Increase's handwriting could tell us. A nice Smoking Gun that might exactly triangulate Mather's position in a late seventeenth-century pamphlet war about Presbyterianism. But, alas, the note has been trimmed off in some rebinding effort sometime within the last three centuries.
This last piece of Semi-Smoking evidence should return us to questions about the nature of the Mather Library. Why is the Beverly work here? Because is was an important part of Increase Mather's intellectual world in London, 1688-1692, or because it is a remnant, a volume not taken away by avid readers before Isaiah Thomas could get his hands on the lot. Might we complicate our conception of the Ideal Mather Library with realities of the Less Than Ideal Mather Library? Might we not give some thought to what is missing—the volume burned down in house fire, the one lent but never returned, the one never acquired. What role does desiderata (lists of books desired) play in Mather's collecting? What role do our own desiderata play in our sojourns into the archive, where we must learn to be be instructed by the Rabbit Holes and Blind Alleys perhaps even more than we are by the Smoking Guns if we wish to understand what we are looking at and what we are looking for.
Another cool gloomy day. Cleaned up a little and ironed although there wasn't too much and I caught up on my correspondence and got ready for work. Watched TV and got working on my rug for a while. Then I went to bed late. Steve K. died today.
If you like the Samuel Peeps twitter feed (or if, like me, you like the idea of the Samuel Peeps twitter feed but you don't actually keep up with it), or if you are friends with Isaiah Thomas on Facebook (but wish he would write in his diary more often), might I recommend that you become friends with Dolores Factoryworker immediately?
I accepted a Fb friendship with Dolores last December. I don't know her last name (she isn't saying), but every morning I check my news feed, if only to stay caught up on her diary entries. I can tell you about her daily commute to the Zenith factory in Chicago in 1960, as well as the diversions that she and her co-workers pursue in order to make time on the assembly line a bit less mind-numbing. Like many of her friends who met her last winter, I'm still wondering whatever happened to Jim-of-the-enigmatic-flirtations-and-mercurial-mood-swings. (Did he quit or get fired? What about the fiancée? Why all those months of mixed signals, Jim?) All her co-workers can run hot-and-cold sometimes, but I think we know by now who to trust and who to avoid. (Crabby Helen, you know who I'm talking about. And don't think I've forgotten about you, Oddly-Doppelganger-Other-Dolores.)
Work was a war a[s] usual to keep up and I was losing all day. We did 60 an hour and brother! Larry came by and I asked him if he had his car but he didn't. I told him I was going downtown and he said, "Oh, that's why you look so nice." Richard came by and told me all about his job and stuff. And Kenny helped me again. At lunch Mary broke the news to me that she became a grandmother Tuesday. She passed candy but she didn't bring any down to me. Then it was finally time to go home and Jenny dropped me downtown but first we stopped at Fran's house. I didn't go up.
Dolores also keeps me up to date on her after work shopping trips to the National, her visits to Candyland, and the endless housework and ironing preparation for the next workday. (Boy she sure is tired.) I also keep up with current movies via her capsule reviews.
Went to the show and saw "The Gazebo" (lousy) and "Dog of Flanders" very good.
Sometimes she posts images from her favorites films (Pillow Talk, Beloved Infidel, and Ben Hur were some recent favorites), but she also post more ephemeral (literally) glimpses of her life outside of work: TV guide schedules, grocery store circulars, an ad for those nice soup mugs that Lipton sent her.
The doorbell woke me up and my cups from Liptons came. They were real nice.
Honestly, with all the ironing and cake baking (and now that new rug she is making), and all the days she's wiped out and just sleeps all day and feels lousy or eats like a pig or stays up to watch the late, I just don't know how she finds the time.
After I got downtown and went straight to the Palmer House to get my ticket and is it ever nice there. Then I went to the Walgreens for coffee and to the card shop and home. Uncle Joe was over and I told him about my trip and he wanted to go. Didn't do anything and barely got ready for work and was so tired.
Over breakfast this weekend, my partner Danny and I found ourselves talking about Dolores like we would an old friend who we've been worried about lately. We're both pretty concerned that the visits to the workplace nurse are becoming a daily occurrence. It makes no sense to us that her supervisor keeps putting her on more and more difficult assembly stations when her hand is clearly not yet fully recovered. Danny's worried that they are trying to push her out, and so now I've got another thing on my mind.
Last day of work. When I went in this morning for my bandage the nurse made me see the doctor. He gave me some pills and said to take two a day. Helen is still crabby as ever and she got into a big fight with the stock boy and Ann. About 10 o'clock I started getting the most terrific backache and I was in pure misery the rest of the day. I was almost in tears by 3:30. Kenny and Richard and Larry came over to talk to me. Then Jo came and saw how awful I looked and helped me. I went for a drink and even Emmanuel asked me if I was tired.
As an early Americanist whose livelihood is based upon poking about in the private journals and notebooks of strangers, I find that this compelling archival recovery project hitting me particularly close to home. Instead of imagined subjectivities of Puritans and poetasters many centuries dead, I am eavesdropping on a woman who may or may not still be alive today. What difference does 400 vs 50 years make? I search Dolores's daily entries for geographic markers of a city that I still call my hometown. I hear echoes of my own aging or departed midwestern female relatives in her colloquialisms and strangely muted accounts of a hundred anxieties and little victories. I empathize with her awkward cycles of preening and self-doubt. This summer I turn in earnest to the next book project that has me diving into a batch of private journals and reading cryptic accounts of lived experience. Let's see if my friendship with Dolores brings any new insights to my archival methods.
Dolores has been informed by Fb that she has reached her limit of sending friend requests. No fear. You can initiate a friendship with Dolores yourself, and I highly recommend that you do so. Boy is she ever interesting. https://www.facebook.com/dolores.factoryworker
When I tell people that I bring students into the archive for hands-on work with centuries-old books, they frequently inquire how young adults respond. I tell them simply that students love the entire experience. The ubiquity of inexpensive modern editions of old texts and the rapid expansion of digital technologies make them more interested in rare books, not less. I am starting this series of student-written responses to the archive to allow them to talk about their classroom experience directly. In the first installment, Erin O'Kelly '14 talks about our first session last fall, during which Fordyce Williams (Coordinator of Archives and Special Collections) and I showed the class how properly to handle old books. -MN
(a student perspective on learning to handle rare books)
by ERIN O'KELLY
One of the least expected habits I developed in Archival Research class (aside from a tendency to immediately categorize nearby text as a serif or non-serif) was the way I came to handle books. The first day in Archival Research pretty much met my expectations; we were taught how to handle old or fragile books, coached on what to do or not to do with them, and then set loose under supervision to, at least in my case, promptly overreact and try to examine the books without in fact actually touching them. I'm sure it was entertaining for the responsible adults that first day to watch an entire classroom of students try to handle books without so much as breathing on them or looking at them wrong.
I've since realized that looking at a book incorrectly won't hurt it and have since become much more comfortable handling old books. Experience has helped me to determine the amount of care and gentleness each one requires – when it's okay to open a stubborn cover, for example, versus when I should resign myself to peering into barely-open pages in order to protect the spine. Sometimes a book really does need to be treated like spun glass and kept away from strong breezes or sudden sneezes; more often, though, a sturdy cradle and gentle handling are enough to ensure that a book will be kept in good health.
Now, if it's a book, I treat it carefully. If it's someone else's book, I treat it even more carefully. If it's someone else's very old book, I treat it with care verging on paranoia. Imagine my surprise, then, when I realized that I was treating my new, inexpensive paperbacks with a level of care approaching that we use in Special Collections. Suddenly I was being careful to touch only the edges of pages when possible, turning them more carefully, and opening books with more attention to strain on the spines (which, given the iffy quality of modern glued spines, isn't a bad idea anyways). It's a pleasant side effect, having gone into the class expecting to learn how to handle fragile old books with caution and coming out learning how to treat all my books with care. Hopefully by the time the course ends I'll be able to treat all my books well enough to have them reach the age of their Special Collections cousins.
In fall of 2012, I experimented with my standard American poetry class, adding a component in which students would learn to do formal analysis of poetry primarily though performing poetry out loud. For about half of the semester we recited poems, memorized sonnets, and learned to offer suggestions for delivery to each other. By the end of the semester, the class had recorded all the main poems in Herman Melville's collection of Civil War poems entitled Battle-Pieces.
The structure worked well enough that I subsequently developed a course entitled "Voicing the Verse: Poetry in Performance." This class fulfills not only the poetry requirement for English majors and minors but also the "Aesthetic Perspective," a core distribution requirement in Clark's Program in Liberal Studies. In addition to regular class time, weekly studio sessions introduce students to rehearsal and performance processes in small groups. These rehearsal sessions lead not only to better performance of poems but to more productive means of critiquing both formal and artistic aspects of those performances.
The studio sessions also helped to enliven the rather technical material in the first half of the semester — metrical scansion and other formal analysis of aural effects in poetry. The rehearsal process in particular helps students to bridge the gap between theory and practice, analysis and experience. Scansion is often the toughest component of a traditional poetry class, but by linking the technical skills to oral interpretation, I find that students have a distinct advantage when it comes to metrical analysis.This week, with our prosody midterm behind us, we went into the recording studio for the first time. This year we are trying a partnership with Professor Matt Malsky's "Recording Practice and Audio Art" course. Students from the Music class take turns working as engineers for individual recording sessions with the Poetry student and afterward work to perfect the recording tracks in post production.
This spring's poetry class is taking on the supplementary verse at the end of Battle-Pieces in order to finish up our long, first LibriVox project. Though fans of poets as disparate as Gerard Manley Hopkins, William Blake, and Mickle Maher (we read Maher's verse play There Is a Happiness That Morning Is as part of our study of rhyming), the students took to Melville very quickly, immediately capturing the introspective mourning of his "Verses Inscriptive and Memorial." The audio files won't be ready for sampling for a little while, so in the meantime, enjoy reading a few selections from our first recording sessions below. In the meantime, we'll keep working on how to approach the longest poem in the collection: the 114-stanza narrative poem "The Scout toward Aldie." Wish us luck!
On the Men of Maine
killed in the Victory of Baton Rouge, Louisiana
Afar they fell. It was the zone
. Of fig and orange, cane and lime
(A land how all unlike their own,
With the cold pine-grove overgrown),
. But still their Country's clime.
And there in youth they died for her–
. The Volunteers,
For her went up their dying prayers:
. So vast the Nation, yet so strong the tie.
What doubt shall come, then, to deter
. The Republic's earnest faith and courage high.
Commemorative Of A Naval Victory
Sailors there are of the gentlest breed,
. Yet strong, like every goodly thing;
The discipline of arms refines,
. And the wave gives tempering.
. The damasked blade its beam can fling;
It lends the last grave grace:
The hawk, the hound, and sworded nobleman
. In Titian's picture for a king,
Are of hunter or warrior race.
In social halls a favored guest
. In years that follow victory won,
How sweet to feel your festal fame
. In woman's glance instinctive thrown:
. Repose is yours–your deed is known,
It musks the amber wine;
It lives, and sheds a light from storied days
. Rich as October sunsets brown,
Which make the barren place to shine.
But seldom the laurel wreath is seen
. Unmixed with pensive pansies dark;
There's a light and a shadow on every man
. Who at last attains his lifted mark–
. Nursing through night the ethereal spark.
Elate he never can be;
He feels that spirit which glad had hailed his worth,
. Sleep in oblivion.–The shark
Glides white through the phosphorus sea.
Last year the Introduction to Archival Research Seminar made quite a hit with our first ever Rare Books Open House, where students each presented material from the Jonas Clark collection in the Goddard Library Special Collections. You can read more about out last year's open house here:
This year we have even more hands-on stations and, of course, all new exhibits based on each student's final research project. Hope to see you there!
And stay tuned for a series of postings about the class itself, from what it's like to face down a laboratory component in a literature class to in-depth profiles of some of the more curious books in the Jonas Clark collection.

I've posted before about last fall's LibriVox project, in which students in my poetry class recorded an audiobook of Herman Melville's Civil War poems, Battle-Pieces.
Today is the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg, so it seems timely to offer another sneak peak (or sneak eavesdrop, I guess) of the poem "Gettysburg" read by Daniel Padilla.

Side-by-side transcription – Voracious Auditor, Grieving Sermon
Click thumbnails below for a closer look at individual pages:
This anonymous auditor uses an oblong notebook to record sermons. The amount of specific phrasing with irregularities of syntax and incompleteness suggests a primarily aural recorder who likely is taking notes in the meetinghouse. In my book, I nicknamed this auditor "Voracious" for his ability to capture a verbatim account of the words of the minister, Joshua Moodey. Even though Voracious falls short of a full verbatim record, the notes are highly suggestive of the possible cadence of delivery. Especially toward the end of the sermon, Voracious seems to capture the accelerating urgency of Moodey's words. See Jeremiah's Scribes pp 93-97 for my reading of this sermon.
I am still trying to decipher a few words in this sermon.( Notice the question marks in certain places where I am unsure or yellow highlighted areas where I refrain from guessing.) My larger question, however, has to do with the startling turn at the very end of the sermon when Moodey instructs his auditory to "Kill Sin" as they would "Kill Indians." As I've noted before, the very real sense of violence here is not lessened because of the figurative analogy. More than a decade after King Philip's War, this disturbing martial imagery remains. The figure of the native enemy has become a full trope. The final turn in this sermon is even more disconcerting, I think, because it follows such a sympathetic and heartfelt invocation to consider the grief (felt by God, not felt by the sinner) in intimate, familial terms.
No, I can't read it either.
This is a page from Henry Wolcott's shorthand sermon notebook at the Connecticut Historical Society. Thanks to the amazing work of Douglas H. Shepard, we have a full transcription of the sermon notes he took in this adapted shorthand system:
- Shepard, Douglas H. "The [Henry] Wolcott Shorthand Notebook Transcribed." Ph.D. diss., State University of Iowa, 1957.
This dissertation is well worth getting your hands on. In addition to the transcription, Shepard provides invaluable insight into the use of shorthand int he seventeenth century and plenty of context for Wolcott's sermon attendance. Shepard also has what may be my favorite quote about deciphering manuscripts ever:
I can only suggest that colleges and universities set up courses that should have been in the curriculum for years–seminars in skepticism and lingering doubt: fallibility and the printed page. (13)
Wolcott's notes are an excellent example of structural auditing. He rarely records full phrasing by the minister. Rather, his notes display such a complex, compacted form of structural auditing that he shows how the sermon structure can itself be an expressive form of spiritual experience.
Courtesy of the Connecticut Historical Society.
Harvard college student John Chickering did not only keep meticulous notes on individual sermons; he also kept a detailed index of his own notebook. Chickering mastered not only structural and aural auditing but also content auditing, as just a glance at the index would allow him to recall discrete units of his sermon experience.
It would be easy for him to locate a sermon preached on a particular verse, for example, or by a particular minister. But the index seem almost excessively detailed. (The column containing the clerical title "Mr." is not strictly necessary, for example.) I suggest in Jeremiah's Scribes that Chicerking's notebook offers us a good example of how individual notetakers created a sense of ownership of their own sermon experience through little choices when recording in their books. (Compare, for example, the sense of creative ownership in Michael Metcalfe's sermon notebook.)

Amazing Videos of Incredible Dog Rescue
This rescue of a dog who was unable to escape from the Los Angeles River (a usually dry flood control channel) today is an uplifting way for us to end a week loaded with heavy stories.
We applaud the Los Angeles Fire Department, and especially firefighter Joe St. Georges, who would not take "no" for an answer -- even after he was bitten on his hand and arm multiple times by the frightened dog -- for this feat of strength and determination. It's not every fire department that will go to such efforts for a non-human animal. (The dog had run away from earlier attempts to get him by foot.)
St. Georges, 50, was treated at a nearby hospital and released. He has no hard feelings about his bite wounds.
"I knew the dog was scared and tired. It's not too surprising that it was really upset with this big, loud noisy thing blowing all over it," he told Fox News. "And then some guy comes and jumps on its back what a surprise the dog bit me."
The dog is doing fine. It's not clear how he got into the river, but it's certainly clear how he got out. Vets say he's in good shape, and that he appears to come from a home where people took care of him. They're waiting for his owners to claim him. Otherwise he'll be up for adoption in 10 days. Already 100 people have lined up to adopt him.
Here's a KTLA TV report that shows the dog's plight from early on, from a news chopper vantage point, and gives more details of the story.

The European Commission, on Nov. 29. 2012, adopted a proposal for a new Environment Action Programme, to provide an overarching framework for EU environment and climate policy up to 2020. The proposal aims to enhance Europe's ecological resilience and transform the EU into an inclusive and sustainable green economy. Accelerating the transition to the low-carbon economy is one of the three thematic priorities of the program. The results should stimulate sustainable growth, create new jobs, and make Europe a better and healthier place to live. "We cannot wait until the economic crisis is over before we tackle the resources, environmental and climate crises," said Climate Action Commissioner Connie Hedegaard. "We must address all these at the same time and therefore include climate and environmental concerns into all our policies. This strategy gives businesses and politicians the long-term policy framework we very much need for making the transition to a sustainable, low-carbon society in Europe." The seventh Environment Action Programme aims to bring about full implementation of the Climate and energy package by 2020, including further measures to meet the energy efficiency target. The program also emphasizes the need to prepare a 2030 policy framework and to integrate climate change in all EU policies. Adaptation to climate change is one of the program key features, as it is linked to many other issues on the environmental agenda such as sustainable land use, urban environment, sustainable food, protecting water, and the marine environment. The Commission is due to adopt an EU Strategy for Adaptation in Spring 2013. The EU's international efforts to close the gap between current emission reduction pledges and what is needed to remain on an emission pathway compatible with the 2 degrees target are also addressed in the program.

Adaptec Announces $34 Million Sale Of RAID Storage Business To PMC-Sierra Inc.
Adaptec, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADPT) (the "Company") announced today that on May 8, 2010, it signed a definitive agreement with PMC-Sierra, Inc. to sell to PMC certain assets and for PMC to assume certain liabilities connected with the Company's data storage hardware and software business for approximately $34 million in cash. Following the sale to PMC-Sierra, the Company will retain its Aristos ASIC technology business, certain real estate assets, more than 200 patents, and approximately $400 million in cash and marketable securities.
Since 2009, the Company has set forth plans to re-deploy the substantial amount of liquid assets and unlock the tax benefits of the Company's net operating losses to maximize value for all stockholders. Following this transaction with PMC-Sierra, the Company's Board of Directors plans to explore all strategic alternatives to deploy the proceeds of the sale and the Company's other assets, which may include stock buybacks, special cash dividends, future acquisitions and other actions to redeploy capital. Additionally, the Company will, as previously announced, continue to consider its options related to its Aristos ASIC technology business, remaining patents and real estate holdings.
"Over the last two years, the Company's stockholders made abundantly clear that they demand a change in the direction of the Company to realize value from the Company's historical operating units. This transaction with PMC-Sierra, which represents the sale of a small portion of the Company's total assets, represents that change and continues the process of moving the Company away from its previous unprofitable identity as a 'pure-play' technology company," said Jack Howard, Chairman of the Board of Adaptec. "The Board of Directors remains committed to providing value to all of the Company's stockholders, and will aggressively pursue opportunities to deploy the significant cash and liquid assets on hand to create value for the Company's stockholders."
The Board of Directors of the Company retained Blackstone Advisory Partners L.P. ("Blackstone") in June of 2009 to assist Adaptec in analyzing and exploring strategic alternatives, and launched a broad auction sale process for the Company's operating assets in September of 2009. Following a thorough sale process, the Board determined that the transaction with PMC was in the best interest of the Company's stockholders. The Board of Directors of the Company received a written opinion from Blackstone to the effect that, as of the date of the opinion and based upon and subject to the various considerations set forth in the opinion, the consideration to be received by Company in the transaction is fair from a financial point of view.

When am I going to learn not to trust editorial reviews since they're mostly pushing advertised/sponsored products. I bought this eye cream and another after reading about them in a "Top Must-Have Eye Creams" online mag feature and well, both were huge disappointments!
The price for this one isn't so bad and I was able to conveniently pick it up while at Ulta. My first attempt was back in September when the weather started shifting to cooler temps, however, my eye area and lips were suddenly disturbingly dry. As in cracked, peeling, chapped and pretty much cause for concern, it was awful! I had to google my symptoms to get some idea of what was happening, type of awful. Make a long story short, I was able to nurse my skin back to health and racked it up to a seasonal freak out and a snarky way of my skin welcoming me to 39... : (
After things calmed down, I applied this cream and I wish I could say it didn't do anything, that would've been nice. But instead it irritated my eyes and caused a bit of puffiness and itchiness. I'm going to blame that on the AHA content which clearly, my eye area can't tolerate but I wanted to be sure so I waited a month and tried again...same result. Itchy, puffy, irritated eyes.
It's funny, when I think Neutrogena, I think of a healthy, derm approved skincare line. But aside from their acne body scrub (which I've adored for over 20 years), I don't really use any of their other products and haven't been overly impressed when I have.
Bottom Line: Nope, had to return it.

So I bought this product on a whim, I've been searching for a great eye creme for the longest time, and it was just ok. It's 15 bucks at CVS, for .5 oz. I have dry, crepey skin under my eyes and I desperately want something to smooth out the area. It has a very light, lotion-like texture, no noticeable scent, and absorbs quite nicely. Not greasy or heavy at all. It comes in a little squeeze tube, which is good, I'm not a fan of unhygienic pots. I used it for close to a month. It has decent moisturizing abilities.. But did not improve any wrinkling at all. It's just too bad I didn't get any results from it, because I like the feel of it on my skin, and the packaging. I also really love the other Healthy Skin products, so it's disappointing this one fell flat. I think this could maybe be a good starter eye creme for younger girls! I personally though, will not be repurchasing.

This is the first eye cream I have ever tried and I've really enjoyed it. It reduced the few fine lines under my eyes, however, it didn't completely get rid of them. Also, I have a really bad habit of getting product in my eyes and this one exceptionally burned. This was my least favorite part about it but it's probably something that happens with most products. Although, it is quite moisturizing and I would definitely repurchase it.

I bought this item to compliment my new moisturizer. What drew me more to this cream was the packaging. I am not a fan of potted eye creams, as with the germs associated with it, and the eye area being so fragile, I just do not want to take those risks.
I picked this up shortly after i got the moisturizer, for around 11$. Much cheaper than the olay eye creams which were all potted :( . skeptically I decided to give it a whirl. After using for about 2.5 weeks, It has worked to help the hydration of my under eye area, but i was hoping this would help my dark circles as a ripple effect, although it has not. If I can find one with similar packaging that does both, that will replace this product. However, it does do the job it says it does, it makes no claims to reduce the dark circles. As purely a special area moisturizer, I do like this. It is clean feeling like the moisturizer, and compliments my regimen nicely. This product comes in a small tube with a pointed discharge point. comes out as a lotion type. It covers skin and absorbs nicely and quickly. it is worth it to have a product like this especially to help the sensitive areas! It really helps.

This was just ok. Not greasy or heavy. This was one of my first eye creams. I think this would be good for a teenager or a young girl who is just starting to take care of her skin, but might not have the funds for a more expensive one. There wasn't anything bad nor spectacular about this, I'd just be willing to try something more high quality next time.

Age: 36-43 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium Hair: Brunette Eyes: Hazel
So, I've been a huge fan of the Oil of Olay Regenerist and CereVe skin care lines for years, alternating between the two of them with great results. I needed a new under eye cream and bought this because Target, CVS AND Walmart were all out of the Regenerist AND CereVe so I figured I'd give this a try since I had used some Neutrogena skin care in the past and had it work well.
I've been using this in the morning and evening for about a month now and I'm about to give it up and go back to my CereVe eye cream as soon as I get it because I've ordered it from Ulta. I find that this Neutrogena Healthy Skin eye cream just isn't as moisturizing and brightening as the CereVe and doesn't attack wrinkles the same way Olay's Regenerist Eye Lifting Serum does. I don't really have anything bad to say about it, it's slightly moisturizing, doesn't sting or hurt my eyes and absorbs nicely but it doesn't seem to really DO anything or be effective at all.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium Hair: Brown Eyes: Blue
I have had amazing results with Neutrogena's products so I was excited to try this eye cream. As I age I am noticing that my eye area looks more lined and dry. For reference I have combination skin, with very dry cheeks and undereye eye area, very oily nose and chin and normal forehead. I do have fine lines under my eyes and the beginnings of crow's feet.
This product has no SPF which is a huge disappointment so I have to use this as a night treatment. I don't use this in the day as I already apply many layers on my skin and I don't want to cause any issues with my makeup application.
After using this consistently on a night for several months, there has been no reduction in fine lines or any change whatsoever in my undereye area. I feel that this product doesn't give as much moisture as I really need in this area and in fact made my undereye area look more crepey and dry. I think that this may be due to the AHAs that this cream contains, perhaps the exfoliating effect is just too strong for my dry skin.
On the plus side, no new lines have appeared. But after using it for this length of time I do expect to see some sort of improvement, however minimal, but instead my undereye area looks worse than it did before treatment. I am now looking for a cream that is a lot more comforting to my dry lined skin, with less of a lightweight texture. I will not be buying this again, I need more from an eye cream than this gives.

This moisturizer is very light, but it does the job that I want it to do.
It comes in a small, squeezable tube. It has a very gel like consistency. It sinks quickly into the skin around my eyes. I use this under the eyes and along the brow bone, as I get very dry all over my eye. I use this only at night.
This moisturizes very well. I can use this at night and wake up with refreshed skin. There's no dryness to be found! However, this isn't as moisturizing at some other eye creams that I have used.
In terms of anti-aging, I haven't seen a huge difference. To be fair, I'm still pretty young, but I've seen a larger difference with some other eye creams. I'll pick this up again, but I might switch to something stronger for anti-aging when I get older.
For those just looking for moisture, this is for you!

I really enjoy this eye cream. I started to notice a lot of fine lines underneath my eyes and with my already parched skin I knew my eye area was in desperate need. I used to use one by olay but it actually burned my eyes, and it was kind of heavy. This eye cream is perfect for someone young getting a feel for eyecream. It's very lightweight and doesn't irritate. I've seen improvement of lines over time and have repurchased. It's actually not that expensive when compared to a lot of other drugstore eye creams and definitely compared to high end. The olay was probably a few dollars cheaper but for no burning I can sacrifice. It works for me right now being 19 but if you're older you probably need something a bit more intensive.

Home start for Forest
The Reds kick off competitive life under Steve McClaren at the City Ground Barnsley are the visitors on Saturday 6 August for the first game of the Championship season and both sides will have new managers in the dug-outs with the former England boss facing up to opposite number Keith Hill who succeeded Mark Robins at Oakwell recently. "It's a great feeling to be here at Nottingham Forest," said McClaren when unveiled to the press on Thursday. "You can smell the history and tradition of this club. I don't feel I have anything to prove after England. "Before and after England I have been successful and I have come back here for a challenge and for a club with great ambitions in Nottingham Forest." Forest have also announced a pre-season clash against PSV Eindhoven to take place at the City Ground on Wednesday 27 July.
