A Taste of Omar (The Good One) If You Can't Take The Heat - Get out of Rome, where they're in the midst of a 40 day heat spell and the Hottest Temperatures Since 1782. What a bunch of wusses, that's not quite 95F and although 40 days can seem like a long time, consider the 40 Year Seasons on Neptune, now that would be something to cry about :) Tuesday, June 10, 2003
They May Sound Like Crap - But hey, isn't that a requirement for "music" these days, most of which is (c)rap? Still, you have to hand it to the country & western crowd for having Hilarious Song Titles. Link via mefi. Monday, June 09, 2003
The Girls From Brazil - No, it's not a takeoff on Ira Levin's silly book, but rather an attempted Takeover Of Fotolog, a popular web site that combines blogging with photo logs. Hey, I'll admit it, I'm rooting for the girls :) Friday, June 06, 2003
A Taste of Omar (The Good One) Sunday, June 01, 2003
Jugs, Jugs, Jugs - Possibly not what you were thinking, the jugs in this instance are used in a class of Brainteasers Dealing With Measurement. Saturday, May 31, 2003
Quite A Tool Collection - If you have a question about ZIP or Area Codes, you likely can find the answer with this slick set of lookup tools. It will even pinpoint the occurrances of a given street name, either within a selected state or across the entire country. Link via RefDesk. Friday, May 30, 2003
A Taste of Omar (The Good One) Players Of An Online Game - Got to experience a Little Dose Of Reality where it wasn't really expected. The make-believe world of a popular multi-player game, Shadowbane, was hacked and turned into a much crueler place to be than one might wish, sort of like things here in the "real" world :) Thursday, May 29, 2003
These Are Almost Perfect Looking - Photos of Ice Crystals. All they need to make them irresistible is a couple of ounces of Grey Goose :) 24 Percent Down Is A Good Start :) - It looks like SCO's greed may just turn out to bite them in the ass. Their claim to the ownership of Unix System V was the basis for their suit against IBM for incorporating portions of "their code" in Linux. One small flaw in their claim appears to be that Unix System V is actually owned by Novell who only sold licensing rights to SCO. Friday, May 23, 2003
A Taste of Omar (The Good One) A Beautifully Rendered Site - No, it's not photos of his begonias, nor of his tomato plants. My Tiny Garden is an outstanding photo essay on the little creatures that inhabit his garden, sectioned into those that fly, walk or crawl their way through. Were We Viewing The Same Eclipse? - I don't know about your area, but here in CA the Lunar Eclipse last week, although pretty nice, didn't look nearly this spectacular. Perhaps a bit more than the modest amount of digital enhancement they admit to. Thursday, May 22, 2003
Orders Of Magnitude Improvement - This microscope does the job with 1000 times the resolution of previous scanning technology! So powerful the researchers claim to be able to actually Monitor The Flow Of Electrons in micro-circuits. Isn't Technology Wonderful? - Actually this "Shocking" Jacket sounds like a pretty good idea, but I think they should crank the amperage up a notch or two :) Wednesday, May 21, 2003
An Awesome Undertaking! - What a concept: they want to post a photograph of every integer Latitude And Longitude Degree Intersection position on the planet, excluding only those locations in the oceans and some near the poles. Link via RefDesk. Feel Like Testing Yourself? - A pesky section of many aptitude tests are those darn partial sequences where you are asked to Provide The Next Term, this site has a few such head scratchers. However, a very nice addition is the clickable answer link. It actually takes you to this Huge Collection Of Sequences where you can enter one of your choice and it will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about it. Let's See If I Got This Right - The swell folks that want to gift us with Total Information Awareness feel it won't be perceived as such a bad thing if they re-christen it "Terrorism Information Awareness". Odd, I believe if Webster's renames S*** to Shinola most of us would still recognize the aroma and wouldn't intentionally smear it on our shoes. Tuesday, May 20, 2003
Damn! At First Blush It Sounds Horrific - But one might ask, who/what would have the time, ability and discernment to actually Cull The LifeLog for meaningful, predictive information? What it likely could and would be used for is to help shore up the case against anyone who did something untoward. Not exactly the sort of thing imagined in Minority Report, more like Columbo on steroids :) Another Nice Collection - Has been made available at Bartleby.com: The World's Famous Orations. Chances are that those of us (un)educated in the US are blissfully unaware of the vast majority of these so here's our chance for some remedial enlightenment. Link via RefDesk. Monday, May 19, 2003
Perhaps Doctors Really Do Earn Those $$$s - Color me overly sensitive perhaps, but this isn't exactly what I would call A Dream Career :) Is Sun On The Right Track - With ACE, their graphical Java Development Tool? The concept presumably is that it will allow non-programmers to readily construct at least the bare bones of a Java application. RAD tools are fine, but putting sophisticated programming tools in unskilled hands simply sounds like a quick & dirty way to build unsophisticated applications. Sunday, May 18, 2003
I Guess I'm Too Visually Challenged - To see the embedded picture. I've looked at This Damn Thing until my eyes watered, but there's just no way that the supposed image resolves. Saturday, May 17, 2003
Let's Read A Haiku Together Life Imitating Art - This eerie Picture From A Spacewalk In 1997 evokes memories of 2001: A Space Odyessy or even the great Sci-Fi Magazine cover art of Chesley Bonestell from the '50s and '60s. Friday, May 16, 2003
A Taste of Omar (The Good One) A Steady Diet Of SPAM - Seems to be in our future for some time to come according to this longish, and rather bleak, 7 part JamSpam Report. Good Neighbors Don't Need Fences - Of course, you can't have fences that are too high, strong and secure where The Neighbors Are Bad. The question becomes, I guess, bad in what sense and in whose eyes? A short, interesting take on some current borders and the means of protecting them. Shhh, Someone May Be Listening - Clearly it hasn't been much of an issue up until now, 1358 wire taps is a drop in the bucket. The interesting thing here is how Ineffective Available Voice Encryption is. In the past that was just bad news for a very few bad guys, but if/when Poindexter & Co. really get rolling it may be a cautionary for a lot of people. Thursday, May 15, 2003
A Very Innovative Approach - To photographing a lunar eclipse: would you have been able to Guess What This Image Shows? We'll get a chance to try our hand at it tonight. What The Hell Is Going On Here?! - It seems that it's not all beer and skittles in the eyes wide open World Of Open Source. SCO Group, the grinch of Unix, is now drawing a bead on the Linux distributors. Their bitch is that their "intellectual" property rights are being illegally embedded in Linux. Code they sweat blood and brain cells developing? Nah, stuff that for the most part they picked up in 2nd generation acquisitions from the actual development teams. Wednesday, May 14, 2003
Bringing Star Wars Down To Earth - You have to hand it to science, there seems to be no end to the ever bigger and more destructive weapons, followed by equally grandiose countermeasures. The idea of a brobdingnagian Neutrino Particle Beam to zap nuclear weapons, although a delicious thought at first blush, has obvious drawbacks of cost and scale. Worse yet however, it would seem fairly easy to counter given the narrow focus of the beam - just don't leave the damn nukes lying in place :) Stupid Is As Stupid Does - It seems somewhat pathetic that the ever escalating look-at-me ploys have devolved to this level of Self Mutilation. One would think that this nonsense would be self-limitating by de facto opting out of the gene pool, but sadly that doesn't seem to be the case. Oh well, ultimately this too will be passe and perhaps the morons will eventually move on to emasculation, that should do the trick :) Now That's A Scorcher! - An amazing image of The Surface Of Venus captured by the Magellan Probe using radar to see through the thick cloud cover. Talk about a "greenhouse effect" - the surface temperature runs about 700K (or ~800F for those of us who don't think in terms of Kelvin), which is hot enough to melt lead. Do They Seem A Tad Out Of Touch - With the public's well deserved skepticism? The Public Relations Geniuses At M$ want to assure us that Palladium will be a security blanket we will sleep under safely. Odd, they haven't built security that works into any of their mainstream products yet, why should we expect this to be different? Perhaps because it shifts a lot of control to the content providers (and guess which market M$ wants to dominate next.) I suspect Palladium will be a good thing - For Linux :) Tuesday, May 13, 2003
An Interesting Collection - Although far too brief to do more than peak one's interest about various people, issues and events connected to the harnessing of nuclear energy. This snippet on J. Robert Oppenheimer from the biographies section gives the flavor of the collection. Whew! - I Feel Better Now - After seeing that poor, beleaguered California isn't even in the running in terms of Serious Earthquake Incidents. Now perhaps we can simply concentrate on our broken economy, uncontrolled border, polluted air and waters, failed criminal justice system, grid-locked "freeways", run-away taxes and the sad fact that our legislature and statehouse are controlled by congenital idiots. Link via RefDesk. The RIAA Strikes Back? - Nah, I doubt that they have enough regard for technology to actually employ it as an offensive weapon, but it is Interesting & Provocative that Kazaa's shared files folder is being targeted by the virus "Fizzer". That Look Out! is also implicated is no surprise at all :) Radical, Dude :) - An innovative use of flash to present some pretty nice Skateboarding Images. Stuff likes this makes me regret my vintage and oh too brittle bones. Link via mefi. Monday, May 12, 2003
Better Than TiVo For My Money - This sounds like a Must Have Item for folks like myself who spend more time with radio than TV. The downside of TV IMHO, aside from the abysmal quality of most of the offerings, is that it keeps you tethered to the tube. Radio on the other hand is simply a pleasant adjunct to whatever else I may be doing at the time, indoors, outdoors or driving in my car. We All Love Google - In fact, M$ loves them so much they Want To Be Google. A great read about everyone's favorite search engine from Forbes.com. Sunday, May 11, 2003
Happy Mother's Day - As with many things in life, it shouldn't just be a month, a week or merely a day when we reflect on our appreciation of, and debt of gratitude to, special people, but on at least this day Remember To Say Thank You. Link via RefDesk. |

I have VERY OILY skin so applying this over my face was not a good idea. I could see the oil this product contains while dabbing or blending on my face. My pores were more obvious and after just half and hour on me I had an awful shine on my face and a cakey look. I used a tissue to remove the excess oils after applying but it didn't help.
I don't know if this would work for dry skins but definitely is horrible on oily ones.

I really wanted to like this product, but I just can't. The color match was perfect for me...not orange at all or anything. But the texture and look of it on my face is just gross. It made every tiny little imperfection on my face seem huge. And it looks cakey and dry.

I had been using this for a while until I realized this is NOT an oil free foundation and I kept breaking out. Overall I do like the color selection and the coverage but I had to stop using it, I hope Avon starts catering more to oily skin people.

SPF15 in mine, not 10, but otherwise it is the same product. I really like this foundation, it is definitely worth the price, which is quite cheap, as most avon products are. I use the light beige shade and it is a perfect match, it fills in all my pores very nicely, and it doesn't make my skin look dry.
I would recommend anyone to try this, and since it's avon, even if you don't like (or get the wrong shade) it is very easy to return or exchange.

Age: 30-35 Skin: Very Dry, Fair, Warm Hair: Brunette Eyes: Green
Nice coverage - I'd say medium at best. I use Nude for my NC20 skin and I think it's a good match. The formula is not as slick and slippery as Revlon's New Complexion makeup. It stays on a bit better and Avon has scads more colors than Revlon. The price is good - can get for around $10 or less sometimes with a sale. Very pleased with this. Edited 05/23/09 - Coverage wasn't up to par and color was eh. Actually threw this away and replaced it with Cover FX.

This is a really great foundation. More coverage than a powder, but still light feeling on your face. I prefer this type to liquid foundations. I definitely use this in the summer because it stays pretty matte on me.

I really like this; I have it in the Almond shade (my skin tone is fairly light with pinkish undertones). The foundation blends very well with my skin and looks very natural. Coverage is medium- takes care of minor redness and evens things out nicely. I don't find it drying on my combo skin or oily in the T-zone even without powder. The only reason I didn't give it 5 lippies is the coverage isn't very buildable on me and I didn't find it layered well with concealer. This is a good for those weekend or casual days when you don't want to spend much time on make-up.

I was really looking forward to trying this product. I was dissappointed. I broke out the first time I used it. I loved the way it went on my skin, but it stayed in that creamy feeling never feeling like it turned to the powder, so I actually had to put my own loose powder on over it. The color matched my skin tone really well.

An incomplete weekend of everything
Friday night, went to a poetry contest awards ceremony that one of my students was supposed to be at. This involved a long, drawn-out trek to the South Side at 7pm, with my friend Karen, and a pre-reading stop at Popeye's Chicken, which involved spending approximately one hour enclosed in a chicken-fume-filled room while one of the other patrons detailed his long life history to us. Once at the reading, we sat through the two-hour presentation of a certificate to every single entrant. My student was not there at all.
Saturday night, went to see a show called "an incomplete map of everything" last night, and it was boring as all get-out, so we left during the intermission, right after the 20-minute recitation of weather reports and before the 50-minute reading of pieces of biographies. (I swear to you. Art does not have to be inaccessible and boring to be edgy, people!) We were donning mittens and coats in the hallway when the arty-hippy ticket-taking woman, with the sad eyes, said they were about to begin seating again. My friend Jeff told her, very earnestly, that he'd just received a text message saying that his dog was sick.
Now, working on my unfinished midterm paper (on ADHD — but I can't focus on it. Ha!), unfinished lesson plans, drinking a cold cup of coffee. I just talked to my friend Kate on the phone and told her that I was creating the final test to give my students tomorrow for our most recent unit, which had been something of a disaster. She asked me what we'd been doing, and I told her that we'd done some Malcolm X, some articles from the New York Times, and that "finally I just broke down and started giving them teenage stories written in the vernacular." She found this hilarious.

"You were the kid in school who always did her projects wrong, weren't you?" — Brooke, my co-worker
The essence of that feeling is so pertinent. Brooke was saying this totally good-naturedly, but dammit, it's TRUE.

Waiting in the wings
So I was feeling like doom and death these past few days, due to a hearty throat infection, fever, cough/cold combo. However, despite this, I decided to go to a "callback" audition for an improv show based (somehow, don't ask me how) on the theme of Dungeons & Dragons. This callback occurred at 10:15pm last night. What? Why do I do these things to myself? The good thing was that I really enjoyed the people around me. The bad… was… sucking at the audition. I keep running into myself, a glass wall that I continually forget about and knock against like a confused bird. I am not naturally good at improv, at all. Some people have natural traits that astound, amaze; they are magic in their element. Me? Some days I can barely step onstage, because it means declaring something, making a movement, rocking the boat and maybe sloshing the rations out of the canoe, and sometimes I can't bring myself to do it.
A very similar phenomenon occurs in my teaching. I don't make any changes to the mediocre/suckiness because I am afraid that the new thing will actually, somehow, be worse than what already exists.
Also, just to continue with the self-indulgent self-analysis, I am doing a paper on ADHD for grad school. This is me.

Starting with capital letters and working our way to lowercase
Much as happened. This includes: auditioning for improv shows (and not getting called back — but so it goes), buying thrift store wool skirts and wearing them over jeans, taking -1 degree days as a lovely opportunity for a stroll, seeing a child's history of bombing, reconnecting with younger sister christina, ice cream with caleb and object-work cigarettes, trying to get eliina's dog henry to come within 2 feet of caleb by plying henry with chicken jerky, unpacking, unpacking, unpacking, and then — ok, school. yes, school, where i have blacked out many days, where a girl was hauled out of my room in handcuffs and i completely forgot the entire incident until the drive home, because so much else happened that day, school where i found out my position will most likely be cut next fall, school where i am learning each day the things that i need, as my therapist says, to survive, school where on thursday we almost felt like a unit, where i laughed at three boys dramatically reading a short story in ham-it-up fashion, and i urged them all to come to drama club, and some of them did, and i was so gleeful until another teacher entered our very first meeting and told me i had to cancel it because a parent was waiting to see me, and they all mean well, everyone, except maybe the school board? but damn, i am threading at the seams and knitting everything back together so we all stay whole.

categorically speaking
most people label their boxes in standard categories when they move — kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room, books, misc. i was packing today and realized that i could also create categories for those items that surface only at moving time, washed ashore suddenly, into my vision again. my packing has been slowed by these things, silt and debris that i absolutely must ponder over, turn over in my palm, finger the wounds, mull, marvel at. i could label boxes by era and fill each box with ex-boyfriends pictures, CDs boys made me that i don't listen to anymore, manuals for computer programs i don't use anymore, birthday cards i can't throw away, letters from my grandmother that i never wrote back to, used books bought for $1 and still unread, t-shirts from college programs, priscilla shirk's shower curtain that i never put up, magazines that might make for collage material, skeins of yarn that i will never knit with, hammers and screwdrivers from my grandfather in case something needs fixing, dvds i don't watch, and one or two that i never returned to the video store, piles and piles of teaching materials that i don't know how to use, journals that i haven't cracked open in years, old dayplanners with only a few weeks of entries, postcards from plays, shows and art exibits i never went to, magazine articles i saved because i might need them again someday, an unopened thermometer, a coat with the tags still on, and letters i wrote on my typewriter at 2am but never sent to anyone.
I'm throwing out a lot. But definitely not everything.

Bardach's article begins with Mas's August 1994 meeting with Clinton: "When Jorge Mas Canosa sauntered out of the White House Cabinet Room on August 19 A following a 90-minute meeting with the President of the United States, he was irrepressibly gleeful. Although the combative, scandal-plagued mega-millionaire has long dominated Miami and, to some degree, Florida politics from the bully pulpit of his coffer-rich Cuban American National Foundation, Mas had just pulled off the coup of his career -- dictating America's new Cuba policy."
From Bardach's deposition:
Hank Adorno: Tell me the source or sources of the factual information which is included in the first paragraph of your story.
Bardach: Some of the sources that I can recall at this moment are the Miami Herald, and the actual facts of the meeting were in the Miami Herald...and somebody I spoke to at the State Department.
Adorno: And who's that?
Bardach: He wishes confidentiality.
Adorno: Was that person at the meeting?
Bardach: I don't know.
Adorno: Did you ask him whether he was at the meeting?
Bardach: I don't recall.... Everybody learned of the meeting very quickly. It spread through the exile community here instantly. And I talked to people at Cambio Cubano about it. [Cambio Cubano is a Cuban-exile group philosophically at odds with CANF.]
Adorno: The Cambio Cubano individuals...were any one, either one of those individuals at the meeting?
Bardach: No, they heard about it through the grapevine.
Adorno: Did you seek to interview any of the individuals that actually attended the meeting, other than Jorge Mas Canosa?
Bardach: No, I relied on the Herald.
Adorno: What do you mean by the word sauntered?
Bardach: You know, walked out, you know, walking but with a bit more of a lilt in the walk.
Adorno: And who described him? You didn't see him walk out, did you?
Bardach: I was told he was very, very pleased with himself.
Adorno: Who told you that?
Bardach: The State Department and the Cambio Cubano people.
Adorno: None of which were at the meeting?
Bardach: I'm not sure about the State Department, so yes, that's the answer.
Other, more controversial passages in Bardach's article relied on similarly vague or biased sources. For example, she claimed that CANF had "pulled off the feat of securing millions of dollars from government grants, funneling the funds through its various umbrellas and PACs, such as the Free Cuba Committee, and then paying much of it out to favored politicians and causes."
From Bardach's deposition:
Adorno: What millions of dollars have they secured from government grants?
Bardach: This is based on the research and published work of John Nichols in the Nation, [a politically liberal weekly], and other published sources.
Adorno: First of all, did you do any independent research to determine what government grants -- meaning did you go to the governmental agencies and speak to them, or did you just get this information from a published source?
Bardach: Published sources.
Adorno: All I'm trying to establish is that you're going to find out almost all of that is incorrect.... Was it your intent in these two sentences to state that CANF, using its nonprofit, tax-exempt status, gets [government] grant money and then somehow funnels it to political causes?
Bardach: Yes, the point being that there have been published articles questioning the nonprofit status of CANF because of its political lobbying, to the extent of its political lobbying. And this is just a reference to all that material that has been written about that aspect of CANF.
Adorno: Do you know whether CANF has an audited financial statement by a Big Six accounting firm?
Bardach: I do not know.
Bardach's reporting technique -- imaginative extrapolation from news accounts -- led to a series of minor errors in her article. For example, she stated that Clinton received almost $300,000 in "Mas-controlled Cuban exile money" after attending a fundraiser at Victor's Cafe. The accurate sum was about half that amount. During her deposition, Bardach admitted she did not speak with Jorge Perez or Paul Cejas, organizers of the event. "I did not investigate who was the fundraiser, who hired the hall, who paid the bills," she said. "All I know is that [Clinton] left with contributions and pledges for a significant amount of money."
"Of which you attribute to Mas, correct?" asked Adorno.
"To Mas's friends and associates," replied Bardach.
Other errors ran the gamut from trivial (the location of Mas's home and placing Joe Carollo in office when he wasn't) to the serious (claiming Mas "dismissed" a Radio Marti executive who in fact resigned, and misstating Mas's position regarding the detention of Cuban balseros).
Still more mistakes were contained in passages characterized as defamatory by Mas and his attorneys. For instance, Bardach described Mas as "a good friend" of anti-Castro terrorist Orlando Bosch, "who served eleven years in a Venezuelan prison for blowing up a civilian Cuban airplane."
As Adorno pointed out during Bardach's deposition, Bosch was acquitted by the Venezuelan Supreme Court because of lack of evidence. "I wasn't even aware of the acquittal at that time," Bardach responded. "I didn't learn about the subtle perambulations that happened later. All I knew at that time was that he had done the jail time. I operated under the assumption that you don't do long sentences unless you are convicted." Bardach admitted she did not review any court records or speak to either Bosch's lawyers or the prosecutors involved.

Conservation IssuesHelicopter tours and aircraft over the Grand Canyon wilderness?!Imagine that you have hiked for days through the backcountry wilderness or rafted more than a hundred miles down the Colorado River. As you stop to rest and enjoy the view, instead of the sound of the breeze and birdsong, you hear helicopters thunder overhead. The Grand Canyon Backcountry is true wilderness. The Canyon is one of the few places protected from the din of modern society, where you can enjoy quiet in a natural setting. Unfortunately, air tour noise destroys the tranquility of this wilderness. If you are thinking of booking a tour, for the benefit of hikers, rafters, and wildlife down below, please reconsider. You can still see the Canyon in all its majesty without disturbing other Canyon visitors and residents. Both the north and south rims offer amazing scenic vistas and significant access to those of all abilities. Our National Parks were established to protect our natural resources for generations to come, not to sell them to the highest bidder. Rather, the mission of the National Park Service is, "...to conserve the scenery, the natural and historic objects, and the wildlife in United States' national parks…for the enjoyment of future generations." The natural quiet of Grand Canyon is wonderful. This film shows its importance and how air tour rides destroy the tranquility. The National Park Service is proposing to restore natural quiet to Grand Canyon National Park, and invited public input during the spring of 2011. We are now waiting for a final decision on the future of Grand Canyon's soundscape. Thank you to everyone who submitted comments on the new plan! For more discussion, please read The Power of Place and the Importance of Natural Quiet at Grand Canyon National Park, from the Grand Canyon River Guides journal Boatman's Quarterly Review. An excerpt: "The Grand Canyon is one of the quietest national parks, but this natural quiet is being compromised.

back when i was still crushing on the other girl and blue and i were
aquaintences(sp?), the three of us were talking about the taste
of blood for some reason...i really cant remember how the topic
came up...and i said that hand blood tastes sweeter than nose blood,
i would know because i get bloody noses all the time and some of the
blood get in my mouth :p lol
some anyways, blue agrees and the girl i had a crush on at the time
was looking at us like we were the weirdest people in the world
that's when i knew blue and i would be great friends :D lol
He didn't know what was comming.
All he saw was my fist.
I heard the crack his nose made,
I swear I felt the bone break into 3 pieces.
Santa, put me on the naughty list,
understand it was provoked,
I didn't mean to hit so hard,
never guessed his nose broke.
Sick of it all,
too many fights,
just wish they wouldn't call me a retard all the time.
Blood comes flowing
Through the blade
It cant be coming
From me
Breath comes quickly
From my chest
All the more
Why do I feel this way
A mixture of releif and dismay
Another Scar Another day
Make it go away

Montrose 8 mo. 2, 1880My dear WifeIt was not with malice aforethought that I failed to provide myself with writing materials yet it has suited well the wildness of my feelings that I have had this excuse for not writing. But as I am beginning to be a little less sleepy I have borrowed Lillys pen & stolen a sheet of paper from Alexis so that I may supplement or modify Rachels rose colored statements about Montrose. Unless you have had it exceptionally hot again the temperature here is not very different from what it is at home yet there is a freshness & elasticity in the air which makes the heat more endurable. The country is lovely to look at—more picturesque & like

Interview with Stephanie Staal, author of "Reading Women"
Feminist texts that had seemed energizing when Stephanie Staal read them as a college student held a completely different message when she approached them as a mother.
Stephanie Staal grew up in a time and a place where the equality of the sexes was considered a given. The feminist literature she read as a college student simply served to reinforce what she already believed. But, she writes in her memoir Reading Women, more than a decade after finishing school she found herself struggling with the role of mother and wife. So she decided to return to college and read those feminist texts again. The second time around, Staal found that the same books spoke to her differently. I recently had a chance to talk with Staal about the feminist writers that she loves and what she believes they still have to teach us.
Most of us complain that there are so many books and so little time. But you devoted a year of your life to rereading. Why?
Obviously we can't reread everything. But I think that for books that have really had an impact on you, it is very interesting to go back and reread them at a different point in your life. When I read "The Feminine Mystique" [by Betty Friedan] in college, I thought about it in kind of an intellectual way. But then to go back 10, 15 years later, and be at a different point in my life, I realized, I'm reading this completely in a different light, and that says a lot about where I am in my life and who I am and how things have changed. That's a really interesting exploration that you can get through rereading. It's almost like sparking an interior dialogue with yourself.
It seems that the first time you read these feminist texts they spoke to you on a theoretical level – and then later in a more practical way.

I'm going to be posting a lot of links here. This stuff is important:
MSG and Aspartame are neurotoxins. Sucralose/Splenda and titanium dioxide is bad news as well. It's wise to boycott them.
More, and this is a short one:http://www.rumormillnews.com/cgi-bin/forum.cgi?read=85563
Damn, and I just bought a bunch of Tropicana lemonade, and Challenge Butter, with 'Natural Flavouring'. I'll use this up, and never buy the garbage again. Thank the gods for Trader Joe's, though these days you even have to read the labels there. At least they have some things that are OK, and ours sell humanely raised and slaughtered meat. (Which I still won't buy.) I'm not a complete vegetarian, still eating chicken and some seafood, but I've cut back a lot. After reading excerpts from Gail Eisnitz' 'Slaughterhouse', I just couldn't bring myself to continue eating mammals. The animals aren't necessarily dead prior to rendering, not to mention factory farming is so amazingly cruel, I don't see how it can exist. Not to mention, factory famed meat is a health hazard, with all the hormones and antibiotics they get. Not to mention the unsanitary conditions they are raised and killed in.
Everything is bad for you when you get down to it, and as for inhumane treatment of animals, It bugs me thats why im very picky about the meat i eat, (mind out of gutter) our family usually buys cows off a nice farm that our friend owns where their well looked after and fairly close to organic.
Being vegan is easy. Cutting back on meat is hard. I am completely happy and content, whereas everyone I know who just tries to cut back moans about how much they miss eating meat. It really is addictive. Making the break entirely is really the easiest way. It's almost like alcoholics trying to just do a shot every so often instead of getting sober. It just makes it harder/worse.

Siriraj Medical Museum
Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital
The museum inside Siriraj Hospital began with collecting and exhibiting stuff of each faculty. In 1982, there were 13 museums, but later, there are only 6 left that can be open for public: Ellis Pathological Museum, Songkran Niyomsane Forensic Medical Museum, Ouay Ketusingh Museum of History of Thai Medicine, Parasitology Museum, Congdon Anatomical Museum, and Sood Sangvichien Prehistoric Museum and Laboratory.
Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital received a 33-Rai land of Thonburi Railway Station from State Railway of Thailand as cabinet resolution on May 26, 1903. Since the cabinet wanted to improve medical profession and public health, especially on excellent research, study, and service, they presented a project for transforming Siriraj Hospital to be an excellent medical institute of Southeast Asia, to the government. The project for an excellent medical institute composed of 7 sub-projects. One of those sub-projects is building museums.
The cabinet appointed a subcommittee for transforming Siriraj Hospital to be an excellent medical institute of Southeast Asia, which had responsibility to take care of museums in Siriraj Hospital. The subcommittee found a committee to collect information for museums, departments, and offices inside Siriraj Hospital. Today, all of the museums are called under one name – Siriraj Medical Museum.
Siriraj Medical Museum has 6 small museums which are divided into 2 buildings. On the 2nd floor of Adulyadejvikrom Building, there are 4 museums: 1) Ellis Pathological Museum, 2) Forensic Medical Museum (Songkran Niyomsane), 3) Museum of History of Thai Medicine (Ouay Ketusingh), and 4) Parasitology Museum. And on Anatomy Building, there are 2 more museums: 5) Congdon Anatomical Museum, and 6) Prehistoric Museum and Laboratory (Sood Sangvichien). There are 300 visitors each day. The first museum is Ellis Pathological Museum. Inside the museum, there are divided into 4 zones. The first zone is history of modern medicine and pathology. It displays biography of Professor A.G. Ellis, the first pathologist in Thailand. He was an American pathologist who found pathological framework, Doctor of Medicine curriculum, and a pathological museum. The second zone is about cancer. The museum displays rare stuff, and useful information about types of cancer which are often found in Thai people. Moreover, the atmosphere in the museum is fascinating, and you can search for knowledge by yourself. In the third zone, it displays congenital anomalies which are often and hardly found. The exhibition displays how congenital anomalies in human begin since it is a fetus. In this zone, visitors would get a real experience of congenital anomalies, and learn steps of fertilization and development of a fetus. The last zone is about heart and artery disease. Since heart disease and hypertension are leading cause of death among Thai people nowadays, it is a good chance for visitors to study and learn from real stuff and mediums inside the museum. What you should not miss is attending a lecture on angiostenosis by His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. Visitors would see a remarkable talent of drawing illustrations for the lecture. You will not be able to see this from anywhere else. In addition, there is a free blood pressure measurement in this zone.
Inside the museum, there are interesting digital displays, which is a new kind of exhibition. Thank to Siriraj Medical Museum team who organized and designed this museum perfectly. Furthermore, there are audio players with 2 portable languages, for visitors who would like to know the details of displays. The audio players are available with a rental fee of 100 baht for each.
The next room is Forensic Medical Museum (Songkran Niyomsane) which is a highlight spot of Siriraj Medical Museum.
What you should not miss is Zee Oui. It was a famous case of "the cannibal". There are displays of bloody clothes and object evidence of the murder of a nurse named Nuanchawee. The exhibition also displays the autopsy instruments that were used in the case of His Majesty King Ananda Mahidol (Rama VIII). Furthermore, there is "Siriraj and Tsunami" Exhibition about the first earthquake occurred in Thailand on December 26, 2004. It is exhibited by modern mediums such as a model, a projection room, etc. Also, there is another museum hidden inside this room which is Museum of History of Thai Medicine (Ouay Ketusingh). Inside this museum, there are displays of history and evolution of Thai traditional medicine, equipments for making herbal medicine, samples of herbs, a collection of Thai medicine books, how to Yufai (how a mother lay by the fire after deliver a baby), how to deliver a baby in traditional style, a traditional Thai pharmacy, and rare stuff from the past.
The next room is Parasitology Museum. There are collection and exhibition about worms, life cycle of worms, and diseases caused by worms such as elephantiasis. There is a surprising display for visitors, which is a 35-kilogram testicle of a Thai man (caused by elephantiasis worms). In this Parasitology Museum, there are also worms named "Siriraj" and "the Blood Microscope". Why is it called the Blood Microscope? If you want to know the answer, you have to find it at this Parasitology Museum. Next to the microscope, there are displays of house dust mites, which is the cause of allergy. There are also footnotes for each display. By the way, the museum has a plan for innovation in the next few months. So you should find a chance to visit here soon, before it is closed for innovation.
After you have seen all of the 4 museums in Adulyadejvikrom Building, we are going to walk to Anatomy Building which has two more interesting museums. The first one is Congdon Anatomical Museum which was found by Professor Edgar Davidson Congdon who had the most important part for anatomy teaching development. In this museum, there is a display that the world has only piece – the whole hand-dissected human nervous and cardiovascular system which is dissected by Doctor Patai Sirigaroon. There are also exhibitions of development of human embryo, and various types of twin babies. And the last museum is Prehistoric Museum and Laboratory (Sood Sangvichien). Professor Sood Sangvichien, the former Dean Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, is the founder of the museum. There are displays about evolution of human, prehistory of Thailand, a chart of primate evolution since 70 millions years ago until the present, rock tools from prehistoric age, ornaments and pottery of prehistoric human in Thailand, pictures, sculptures, and statues. After you have seen all of the 6 museums, you would realize that every piece of displays tell stories from the past until the present. How many youths have visited this museum? At least, if you visited this museum once, you would realize that this museum is a great place for learning of the next generation.
Finally, we would like to introduce a small pocket book named "Siriraj Oudkhongdee" (Siriraj Shows Its Good Stuff). The book is about good stuff inside Siriraj Hospital such as buildings, places, displays of medical equipments, etc. Contents of the book are presented by colored cartoons with knowledge and fun. You would learn that Sirirraj is not only a hospital, but also a tourist attraction. You can buy it at famous bookstores all over Thailand, or at Siriraj Medical Museum, so that you would read it and have fun while visiting the museum.
For Mahidol University personnel, if you bring your ID card with you, you can visit all of the 6 museums for free. The museum is open at 9.00 a.m. – 4.00 p.m. from Monday to Saturday, except public holidays. Admission fee is 20 baht for Thai citizen, 40 baht for foreigners, and free for children, students in uniform, anyone who has student ID card, and monks.

OTTAWA — Bishop Raymond Lahey pleaded guilty to the importation of child pornography May 4 and asked to go directly to jail, even though a date has not been set for his sentence hearing.
The former bishop of Antigonish, N.S., faced two child porn charges, but the Crown and defence counsel agreed to drop the more serious charge of possession of child pornography for the purpose of transmission.

The May 2 federal election was an overwhelming vote for a government that gets down to work and leaves the bickering and antagonism of recent years behind.
The election was, of course, an historic realignment of political parties in the country — the emergence of the NDP as Canada's alternative party, the annihilation of the Bloc Quebecois and the pushing aside — at least for now — of the Liberals. But the realignment was the symptom of a desire for serious government without the gridlock of the past seven years.
Theologians sometimes try to simplify the meaning of the resurrection by packaging its essence into one sentence: In the resurrection, God vindicated Jesus, his life, his message and his fidelity. What does that mean?
Jesus entered our world preaching faith, love and forgiveness but the world didn't accept that. Instead it crucified him and, in that crucifixion, seemingly shamed his message.
The dark valley is, as everyone knows, a symbol of difficult times we all encounter sooner or later in our lives. I have yet to meet someone who managed to skip this stage, although individual valleys seem to differ in length and degree of darkness.
For some of us, the valley is an illness or some disability, for others a loss of work and status. Aging is certainly one of the valleys, and not an easy one either, what with the trembling hands, dimmed eyesight and memory that fails in the most embarrassing way.
It amazes me that in the 21st century people still pose the ridiculous question: "When do you think life begins?" Quite frankly, it does not matter when you or I think life begins: Biology established long ago — before abortion on demand became legal in Canada — that human life begins at conception.
People who pretend otherwise must rely on sophistry and public ignorance about the reality of prenatal life to make abortion seem acceptable.
In his inaugural homily in St. Peter's Square, Pope Benedict concluded, "At this point, my mind goes back to Oct. 22, 1978, when Pope John Paul II began his ministry here in St. Peter's Square. His words on that occasion constantly echo in my ears: 'Do not be afraid! Open wide the doors to Christ!'"
Indeed, the whole Church will look back to Oct. 22, 1978 — that's the new feast day for Blessed John Paul. For the feast day's Office of Readings in the breviary, an excerpt from the day's "Be not afraid" homily has been chosen.
Where does the devotion to Our Lady of Good Counsel originate and why is she the patroness of the CWL?
I am pleased to announce that Hank Zyp is the recipient of the 2011 SAGE Award in the area of social justice and peace. The SAGE awards celebrate seniors who inspire, empower and engage others in making our community, province, nation and world a better place.
The list of Hank and Tillie Zyp's achievements is long and impressive. It includes the founding of two NGOs: St. Joseph's Save the Children Club (now called Rainbow of Hope for Children) and Change for Children. Thirty-five years later, these organizations are thriving, proving ordinary people can make an extraordinary difference.
EDMONTON — Under sunny skies and surrounded by bishops, priests, deacons and lay people, Archbishop Richard Smith prayed that St. Joseph Seminary may be a "school of prayer and a centre of divine teaching."
The blessing of the new seminary May 2 was the culmination of years of working toward the fulfillment of a dream – the move of the seminary and Newman Theological College to the grounds of the Catholic Pastoral Centre in central Edmonton.
VATICAN CITY — One of our young people at Newman House recently asked me whether I ever cry. I tear up quite rarely, save for the liturgy, when it happens not rarely, and not just at funerals. Perhaps it is a grace God has given me, to feel on occasion the reality that the liturgy makes manifest.
Tears often mark an intense encounter with reality, and the liturgy opens to us the world that is most real. Whether grace or simple sentimentality, weepiness can be rather awkward for a priest, as it gets in the way of leading the worship and is rather distracting for the people.

Working with the SWC team ( and Alexei) was an absolute delight. They were highly collaborative and had great design inspiration. SWC is passionate about heirloom quality furniture and they deliver works of art. It started with some great idea sharing and then went to wood selection. As a team, we selected the wood that worked best for our design. We were on a tight
timeline to deliver our furniture before the holidays started.
They worked hard and kept us well informed of the progress. They delivered on their commitments.
puts life back into fallen grand old trees. They transformed planks and slabs into wonderful function and form.
The craftsmanship is remarkable.
Their heirloom furniture are functional works of art.
I was lucky since they all ended up knowing each other so it went fairly smoothly. There were a few delays along the way so what we planned on finishing by end of year ran into end of following January. Total Job took from first week in November 2014 to end of January 2015. So just at 3 months.
The overall budget of 45k went over by around 20% due to some electrical issues and plumbing issues. And then me picking out different lighting components.
was easy to work with. He called or contacted us back within an hour or so when we had questions or concerns. took care of the permits and worked with the city to get our job pass the inspection phase.
All of the individuals he contracted with to complete the work were friendly and responsive when I stopped by to check on work.
including built in armoire, new linen storage with custom roll out drawers and locked drawer for jewelry

detailing is beautiful and extra steps were taken to ensure we would be pleased with the final result. We look forward
to another project with them in the future.
came out the day after to do a quote and i went ahead and payed materials that same day.
The cabinets took a few weeks to arrive and a little while to be installed.
afterwards the granite came in and to be honest, i didn't think at first i would be happy, but for the price, i got an amazing kitchen!
They then sent someone out to do the backsplash. once it was completed i paid them the rest of the labor.
They didn't ignore me, and tried to fix my nitpicked spots.
overall i am quite satisfied.

Yahoo – This bon mot from the Twitter account of Jason Petrie, a "senior footwear designer at Nike," according to LinkedIn, and the designer of the popular Nike basketball sneakers worn and endorsed by Miami Heat star LeBron James: "Pooh," of course, is the nickname Rose was given by his grandmother when he was a kid. Rose, of course, wears and endorses adidas shoes; the Bulls point guard recently signed a 13-year endorsement deal with the shoemaker that, with incentives, could pay him more than $200 million. The intimation, of course, is that Rose wouldn't have torn a ligament in his left knee if the shoes on his feet when he landed that jump stop were emblazoned with a swoosh. Of course.
Sometimes there's a scumbag move that's just so scumbag you kind of have to respect it. This isn't one of those times because this guy is obviously a piece of shit, but it's close. I mean making fun of the MVP and one of the nicest and most humble guys in the entire league for picking a different shoe company after he shredded every major ligament in his knee is about as scummy as it gets. No surprise though. Everything and everyone Lebron touches turns into asshole shit.

their toxicity. This decision came 4 years after failed attempts in the United States to achieve OTC status for low-dose statins (Mitka, 2004). Against this background, the committee believes the time is right for a major study on the use of OTC drugs and the epidemiology of associated medication errors and ADEs, as well as drug–drug and drug–disease interactions.
An emerging literature suggests that complementary and alternative medications have the potential for adverse interactions with prescription drugs (D'Arcy, 1993; Calis and Young, 2004). The Institute of Medicine's (IOM) recent report Complementary and Alternative Medicine (IOM, 2005) recommended that the National Institutes of Health and other public agencies provide the support necessary to develop and implement a sentinel surveillance system (comprising selected sites collecting and reporting data on patterns of use of these and conventional medications), practice-based research networks,1 and complementary and alternative medication research centers to facilitate the work of the networks (by collecting and analyzing information from national surveys, identifying important questions, designing studies, coordinating data collection and analysis, and providing training in research and other areas). The IOM report also recommended that the National Institutes of Health and other public or private agencies sponsor quantitative and qualitative research to examine adverse events associated with complementary and alternative medications and their interactions with conventional treatments. The committee endorses both of these recommendations.
There have been few micro-level studies of the costs of medication errors. Most of these studies have estimated either the extra hospital costs of an ADE occurring while the patient is in the hospital or the costs of hospital admissions attributable to earlier ADEs. Two of these studies are now quite dated: one used data from 1990–1993 (Classen et al., 1997) and the other data from 1993 (Bates et al., 1997). Apart from one study relating to ambulatory care (Field et al., 2005), all of the studies related to hospital care. Clearly there are large gaps in our understanding of the costs of

Funny Car Drag Racer Explodes, Wins Twice Same Weekend
Funny Car racer Todd Lesenko is one explosively-lucky guy. On the first day of the recent U.S. Nationals drag race event in Indianapolis, Lesenko's 7,000-horsepower engine exploded as it was speeding down the track at 280 miles per hour shooting parts of it and its Chevy Impala body at least 50 feet high into the air. Despite this, Lesenko's car won the heat and the uninjured driver was able to compete the following day.
Driving his backup Grime Oil car on Sunday, Lesenko earned a spot in the finals, during which his engine blew up once again while speeding him to another win. Amazingly, the Funny Car man escaped unscathed.
Image credit goes to an amazing photographer who covers lot of sports and racing events: Mark J Rebilas – great stuff!

BRUNSWICK, Maine - The Bowdoin College women's basketball team, fresh off a school-best 26-2 mark in 2001-02, will begin the new season by equaling last years' highest ranking- number two in the nation.
D3hoops.com released their pre-season poll on Friday and the Polar Bears found themselves ranked second in the country, behind Washington (Mo.) University. Bowdoin returns four of five starters from the '01-'02 team that reached the Elite Eight by defeating Emmanuel and Springfield in the NCAA Tournament. The Polar Bears went 8-1 in NESCAC play last season, en route to their second straight conference title.
Bowdoin winter sports teams are allowed to open practice on November 1, in accordance with NESCAC rules, and the Polar Bears will open their regular season on November 23, when they travel to Saratoga Springs, N.Y. to compete in the Skidmore Invitational against Western Connecticut.

Conservation Colorado
Our national and state parks are where some of our families' most unforgettable memories are formed—from our first childhood hikes to our first glimpses of wildlife. While we all know how special these places are, the funds that are meant to protect them are being spent elsewhere.
Protecting Colorado's parks from drilling, mining, logging and development
Our parks are where some of our families' most unforgettable memories are formed— from our first childhood hikes to our first glimpses of wildlife.
No wonder writer Wallace Stegner called our nation's park system America's best idea. Still, drilling, mining and other industries in Colorado consider the lands in and around many of our local parks as something else— "investment opportunities" to be exploited.
This encroachment is leaving the land surrounding these parks at risk—seriously threatening their ecosystems, waterways and wildlife.
We need to protect every acre of our parks for future generations, before industrial operations jeopardize our state's natural heritage, beauty and environment.
Our senators have a unique opportunity to protect these parks
Each year, Congress raids the Land and Water Conservation Fund, the program dedicated to protecting treasured places like Rocky Mountain National Park and South Boulder Creek, and uses the money for other purposes.
Environment Colorado is bringing citizens together to convince Sens. Michael Bennet and Mark Udall to make protecting our state and national parks a top priority during their current term as U.S. senators. By working together, we can leave a lasting legacy for Colorado and its future generations.
Together, we can win
Members and supporters like you make it possible for our staff to conduct research, make our case to the media, testify in Denver and Washington, D.C., and build the grassroots support necessary to protect all of our state parks forever.
Key Facts
- Last year, Congress moved to slash the Land and Water Conservation Fund by 93%, leaving public lands
across the country vulnerable to encroaching development, oil and gas drilling and mining. - From South Boulder Creek to Rocky Mountain National Park, our nation's park system has been called
America's best idea, yet the fund established to protect them has only ever been fully funded once. - Your action and support can help us win more protections for places like Rocky Mountain National Park, like our victory earlier this year when Colorado's Chimney Rock was designated a national monument, so its natural history and beauty will be preserved for generations to come.

The LAWTON family is my husband's side and Isaac I. Lawton was descended from Thomas Lawton, immigrant from England to Rhode Island about 1638 with his brother George. Isaac I. Lawton was born 25 July 1794 in Rhode Island. He married about 1818 Jane Green born New Hampshire and daughter of Francis Green. Isaac and Jane had 13 children, all born in Western NY. During the 1840's, this family (except for one son, James) migrated westward. Isaac, Jane and some of the children settled in Vernon County, Wisconsin. The others migrated to Oregon. Since there has been and still is much research being done on many Lawton lines globally (by some very fine researchers), I am concentrating my efforts on locating descendants of Isaac I. Lawton. If you are a descendant, contact me. If you are not sure, contact me. Let's share. If you would like to know more about many Lawtons check out Stephen T. Lawton's Homepage on here too.

Major works
At Weimar and Berlin she wrote some of her best essays for The Westminster and translated Spinoza's Ethics (still unpublished), while Lewes worked on his groundbreaking life of Goethe. By his pen alone he had to support his three surviving sons at school in Switzerland as well as Agnes, whom he gave £100 a year, which was continued until her death in 1902. She had four children by Hunt, the last born in 1857, all registered under Lewes's name. The few friends who knew the facts agreed that toward Agnes his conduct was more than generous, but there was a good deal of malicious gossip about the "strong-minded woman" who had "run off with" her husband. Evans's deepest regret was that her act isolated her from her family in Warwickshire. She turned to early memories and, encouraged by Lewes, wrote a story about a childhood episode in Chilvers Coton parish. Published in Blackwood's Magazine (1857) as The Sad Fortunes of the Reverend Amos Barton, it was an instant success. Two more tales, Mr. Gilfil's Love-Story and Janet's Repentance, also based on local events, appeared serially in the same year, and Blackwood republished all three as Scenes of Clerical Life, 2 vol. (1858), under the pseudonym George Eliot.
Adam Bede, 3 vol. (1859), her first long novel, she described as "a country story—full of the breath of cows and the scent of hay." Its masterly realism—"the faithful representing of commonplace things"—brought to English fiction the same truthful observation of minute detail that Ruskin was commending in the Pre-Raphaelites. The book is rich in humour. The germ of the plot was an anecdote her Methodist aunt told of visiting a girl condemned for child murder. The dialect of the Bedes she had heard in the conversations of her Derbyshire uncles with her father, some of whose early experiences she assigned to Adam. But what was new in English fiction was the combination of deep human sympathy and rigorous moral judgment. Adam Bede went through eight printings within a year, and Blackwood doubled the £800 paid for it and returned the copyright.
In The Mill on the Floss, 3 vol. (1860), she returned again to the scenes of her early life. The first half of the book, with its remarkable portrayal of childhood, is irresistibly appealing, and throughout there are scenes that reach a new level of psychological subtlety.
At this time historical novels were in vogue, and during their visit to Florence in 1860 Lewes suggested Savonarola as a good subject, George Eliot grasped it enthusiastically and began to plan Romola (1862–63). First, however, she wrote Silas Marner (1861), which had thrust itself between her and the Italian material. Its brevity and perfection of form made this story of the weaver whose lost gold is replaced by a strayed child the best known of her books, though it has suffered unfairly from being forced on generations of schoolchildren. Romola was planned as a serial for Blackwood's, until an offer of £10,000 from The Cornhill Magazine induced George Eliot to desert her old publisher; but rather than divide the book into the 16 installments the editor wanted, she accepted £3,000 less, an evidence of artistic integrity few writers would have shown. Details of Florentine history, setting, costume, and dialogue were scrupulously studied at the British Museum and during a second trip to Italy in 1861. It was published in 14 parts between July 1862 and August 1863. Though the book lacks the spontaneity of the English stories, it has been unduly disparaged.
George Eliot's next two novels are laid in England at the time of agitation for passage of the Reform Bill. In Felix Holt, the Radical, 3 vol. (1866), she drew the election riot from recollection of one she saw at Nuneaton in December 1832. The initial impulse of the book was not the political theme but the tragic character of Mrs. Transome, who was one of her greatest triumphs. The intricate plot popular taste then demanded now tells against the novel. Middlemarch (8 parts, 1871–72) is by general consent George Eliot's masterpiece. Under her hand the novel had developed from a mere entertainment into a highly intellectual form of art. Every class of Middlemarch society is depicted from the landed gentry and clergy to the manufacturers and professional men, the shopkeepers, publicans, farmers, and labourers. Several strands of plot are interwoven to reinforce each other by contrast and parallel. Yet the story depends not on close-knit intrigue but on showing the incalculably diffusive effect of the unhistoric acts of those who "lived faithfully a hidden life and rest in unvisited tombs."
Daniel Deronda (8 parts, 1876), in which George Eliot comes nearest the contemporary scene, is built on the contrast between Mirah Cohen, a poor Jewish girl, and the upper class Gwendolen Harleth, who marries for money and regrets it. The less convincingly realized hero, Daniel, after discovering that he is Jewish, marries Mirah and departs for Palestine to establish a home for his nation. The picture of the Cohen family evoked grateful praise from Jewish readers. But the best part of Daniel Deronda is the keen analysis of Gwendolen's character, which seems to many critics the peak of George Eliot's achievement.
