October Quest for the Original Cape Coalwood
I set out to find the original location where Homer Hickam, Jr. tested his rockets. I grew up in a small coal mining community in Kentucky. I left the community when I was 18 and now only return occasionally to visit family and friends. A few years ago I watched the movie October Sky Based on the novel Rocket Boys by Homer Hickam, Jr. and that story is the subject of the this ride report.
http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...7small/web.jpg This would be a long four days of riding so serious time was given for planning routes and researching some background information. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...1small/web.jpg Of course we had to do this in October. After all, it was the launch of Sputnik in October of 1957 that created the space race and inspired Homer to want to become an aerospace engineer. Mo Boot was kind enough to join me on this adventure. We stopped in Petros, TN, to see what remained of one of the filming locations of the movie. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...3747bw/web.jpg http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...s00017/web.jpg (Image from the web) The temporary set of the Olga temple was removed after the filming. It was located on this corner in Petros. Several other locations remain in Petros that were featured in the movie. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...3746bw/web.jpg Next, in Oliver Springs, TN, we saw Olga Coal Company still visible on several of the buildings in this small Tennessee town. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...3767bw/web.jpg http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...3754bw/web.jpg http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...3762bw/web.jpg http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...3756bw/web.jpg We wanted to get to Erwin, TN, for the evening, so we had to take off after a bite of lunch. On day two the goal was to make it to Elk Park, NC, to meet up with Dlrides. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...4small/web.jpg Mo Boot had some battery trouble, and the weather was blowing trees at us at 4,900 ft up on Beauty Spot Gap road. I have never seen weather this bad while riding. Dlrides is a history buff and wanted to do the Coalwood ride with us on Saturday. He was gracious enough to show us some incredible historic items in & around Cranberry, NC. Friday was spent in that area exploring with Dlrides did a separate ride report for this days adventure http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=401209. :deal http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...2small/web.jpg http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...9small/web.jpg Mo boot at a very long cable suspension bridge. My fuel pump began to spit and sputter on the 950 about an hour after this creek crossing. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...4cQ9-L/web.jpg (photo courtesy of dlrides) The bike completely stopped running just as we pulled up next to a car wash. I had total fuel pump failure. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...1small/web.jpg http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...3small/web.jpg After several attempts to solve the problem, it looks like this ride has come to a premature ending.:baldy Let me look around & see what I have. Well, I will be dog, I just happen to have an extra fuel pump with me. :wings :rayof :wings http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10192...4small/web.jpg Dlrides was kind enough to install the fuel pump, and we headed to find shelter and a warm, dry bed for the evening. Tomorrow - the destination is the Original Cape Coalwood and some historical information on the interesting coal village. |
Lookin' good :thumb
You carry a spare fuel pump with you? :huh :lol3 :lurk |
Epic ride as usual ! Before the report progresses, I would like to mention the roads taken to WV. We mostly picked our way on gravel and twisty backroads. along the way we found an abandoned road in western VA that was unbelieveable ! It ran through cattle farm country near Mendota VA, with parts that was extremely rocky grades. No pics of the rough parts, we were too busy getting the bikes through ! Some of the gravel roads in this part of VA run through huge cattle farms that are "open range" roads, meaning they have no fences and the cattle roam, simular to western states. http://dlrides.smugmug.com/photos/403662110_saPC8-M.jpg http://dlrides.smugmug.com/photos/403659060_s7FZD-M.jpg http://dlrides.smugmug.com/photos/403660981_arxAX-M.jpg http://dlrides.smugmug.com/photos/403663302_ECwUy-M.jpg http://dlrides.smugmug.com/photos/403665874_AXgYw-M.jpg http://dlrides.smugmug.com/photos/381711059_4mKYy-M.jpg http://dlrides.smugmug.com/photos/381627089_mR6Yn-M.jpg Carry on ! |
The Road To Coalwood
Coalwood, WV, was considered a model mining community in the 1930s.
http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/101931/page16/web.jpg This image is from the web I wanted to see this historical coal village before it vanishes forever. The road to Coalwood takes us through downtown War. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...3882bw/web.jpg War is home to Big Creek High School. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...3884bw/web.jpg This is where Homer went to school and was inspired by his teacher to pursue his dreams. He did just that. And Homer won the National Science Fair in 1960 putting Big Creek High School and Coalwood on the map. Keep in mind that he first saw Sputnik in the night sky in October of 1957:thumb |
sweet ride idea!
Just down the road from War is the Olga Tipple at Caretta.
http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...3892bw/web.jpg I am surprised that it has not been removed due to liability issues. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...3891bw/web.jpg The large metal screen on the left extends over the road. This was for a big cable bucket system that went up the mountain to a slate dump. The screen protected passing cars from possible falling debris from the buckets on the aerial tramway. The conveyor belt system to the right crosses above Highway 16 and was used for the coal and slate coming in by truck. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...3890bw/web.jpg This tipple was constructed around 1924. It is identical to the tipple that was at Coalwood. Coalwood is just down the road.:nod |
I always enjoy your reports. :ricky
Great report! Keep it coming.
Dave, or Don... Didn't we ride through War on the epic Memorial Weekend ride in 2007? There are some fantastic places tucked away in that part of the country. When are you guys going to team up and publish a book or two on these vanishing bits of history that you dig up? |
Cool Report!
I really liked that book (movies are never as good).... I never thought of taking a ride like this!
Thanks for sharing! |
Can't wait to see more! Absolutely incredible four days. :clap Look forward to riding with you and dlrides again soon. Mo Boot |
Coalwood Tipple: then & now
We finally reach our destination.
http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...3893bw/web.jpg Dlrides made an interesting comment: "Most of the roofs are original including the copper flashing." This is what the housing looked like back when the village was new. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/101931/nw1461/web.jpg We stopped at the Olga Tipple site. Unfortunately, this small building (the machine shop) is all that remains. This was the site of the only shaft mine in Coalwood. It started producing coal in 1905 from the original wooden tipple. Some 600 feet below this site was the six-foot high Pocahontas coal seam which held some of the best low volatile, low sulphur coal in the world. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...GRH-XL/web.jpg photo courtesy of dlrides This is what the site looked like circa 1930s. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/101931/nw1462/web.jpg image from the web http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/101931/alb020/web.jpg image from the web The Olga #1 Tipple was torn down in 1959 but the mining operation continued. More Coalwood info to follow... |
Coalwood - The Hickam home and old school
As we enter Coalwood we stopped at the boyhood home of Homer Hickam, Jr.
This is the actual yard where he first saw Sputnik fly over.:thumb The wooden white picket fence that he blew up with his first rocket has long been replaced with chainlink. This is one of the larger, nicer homes in Coalwood because his father was the mine engineer and in charge of ventilation at Olga Coalwood Mine. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...5uR-X2/web.jpg photo courtesy of dlrides A back view of the house around 1944. http://davidgoad.homestead.com/files/alb004.jpg photo courtesy of David Goad collection (I think) The Olga mine at Coalwood never had a major accident. Many contribute that to Mr. Hickam's (Homer's dad) advanced knowledge of the mine and ventilation techniques. The old school is just about gone. I do not expect this to be here much longer. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/101931/196407/web.jpg image from the web You can see Mo boot taking a picture of the incredible front facade. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...3899bw/web.jpg A closer look. http://gallery.me.com/debandi1/10193...3901bw/web.jpg More to follow... |

An example is where the optimizer treats reverse sort { $a <=> $b } @array;

It looks like good ol' perldoc

A few questions here:
In the absence of

A study of the sidearm throw of the Aerobie Orbiter. This high-performance boomerang is manufactured in the United States by Aerobie, Inc. Imagine three twelve-inch plastic rulers fused equilaterally to form "the triangle," a thin, rigid flight toy that harbors a secret. When thrown overhand, as intended by the manufacturer, like the quarterback in American Football, it behaves like a traditional boomerang: taking a low, circular flight path, and ultimately returning to its thrower. However, when thrown sidearm, the triangle does something radical!
Unorthodox and swift, the sidearm-thrown boomerang appears erratic upon first glance. Subsequent throws, however, quickly reveal a constant production of the same repetitive flight path. This course of throw and this pattern of flight becomes so predictable that a human's natural instinct yearns to catch a seemingly uncatchable boomerang...and so begins the story of Spike the Triangle.

Click here to print the obituary below
Hubert J. Welniak(1936 - 2013)
Welniak, Hubert J.
Hubert John Welniak, age 76, passed away Tuesday March 12, 2013 at Ministry Saint Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield.
A Memorial Mass will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday, March 16, 2013 at Saint Michael's Catholic Church in Hewitt. Rev. Raj will officiate. Committal services will be in the springtime when the birds are singing, flowers are blooming, and the grass is green. His family will receive relatives and friends on Saturday at the church from 10:30 a.m. until service time. Active pallbearers will be Chris and Carmen Welniak, Dominic Willcome, and Kaitlyn Keech. His honorary pallbearers will be Kayla Keech, Bianca Welniak, and Sterling Willcome.
Arrangements are entrusted to Life Tributes Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Spencer.
Hubert was born November 20, 1936 in Elyria, Nebraska, son of the late John and Monica (Knebel) Welniak. When Hubert was very young, this hard working farming family relocated from Nebraska to the town of Richfield because of the severe drought. As a family they farmed in the town of Richfield until 1967 when Hubert and his wife purchased this homestead. After graduation from Marshfield Senior High School Hubert entered the Marine Corps and proudly served his country for three years at Camp Pendleton California where he excelled as an expert sharpshooter until his honorable discharge. On October 19, 1963 Hubert married the former (Marie) Karen Kappel at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in Marshfield. This October they would have celebrated 50 years of marriage. Karen told of their exchange of wedding gifts. Karen received a beautiful sterling silver engraved rosary. Hubert was given a long coveted Beretta 12 ga. shotgun, a gift that is very valuable today. These gifts were meaningful and still treasured. Hubert continued to own and operate the homestead dairy farm with his children until his retirement in November of 2003. Hubert was devoted to his family and his farm and always willing to walk out of the barn in his rubber boots and enjoy a game of softball or whatever his kids were playing.
Memberships included Saint Michael's Catholic Church, a local muzzle loaders club, and the NRA. He was a 4-H swine leader and softball coach for the Webster 4-H. He was a helpful guide and mentor to his kids when they showed their prized cattle.
Hobbies included fishing, hunting, Packer games, polka dancing, and country music. He was a master at leather and wood working and building and finishing guns. Hubert was an avid reader and loved crossword puzzles. To those who knew him best, Hubert loved fixing things usually by jiggling, tapping, duct taping or the use of baler twine. Although he loved deer hunting, his family knew the most important part was sitting under a tree, eating his lunch, and taking a nap. Hubert was discovered taking secret trips to the casino when Karen checked his truck mileage. Hubert also always got in trouble digging up seeds in her garden to see if they had sprouted. Little ray of sunshine Bianca soon learned to say "Grandpa did it" for anything and everything anybody did. Hubert said he and his wife had a good life. He deeply loved his children and said they were five of the best times, giving him seven wonderful grandkids.
Survivors include his loving wife, (Marie) Karen Welniak of Marshfield; his children: Mark (Sandra) Welniak, Beth (Damian) Willcome, Kyle Welniak, and Janel (fiance Charles Schill) Welniak, all of Marshfield. As well as Kim (David) Keech of Wisconsin Rapids. His grandchildren are: Chris and Carmen Welniak, Dominic and Sterling Willcome, Bianca Welniak, all of Marshfield; and twins Kaitlyn and Kayla Keech of Wisconsin Rapids. Three sisters survive: Sister Monica Jean Welniak of Elm Grove, Gloria Welniak of Madison, and Patti (Dave) Wester of Elroy along with nieces, nephews, relatives, and friends.
Hubert was preceded in death by his parents and his sister Alvina (Bill) Hansen.

The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), by Oscar Wilde, was first published as a serial story in the July 1890 issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.[1] As submitted by Wilde to the magazine, the editors feared the story was indecent, and deleted five hundred words before publication — without Wilde's knowledge. Despite that censorship, The Picture of Dorian Gray offended the moral sensibilities of British book reviewers, some of whom said that Oscar Wilde merited prosecution for violating the laws guarding the public morality. In response, Wilde aggressively defended his novel and art in correspondence with the British press.
Wilde revised and expanded the magazine edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) for publication as a novel; the book edition (1891) featured an aphoristic preface — an apologia about the art of the novel and the reader. The content, style, and presentation of the preface made it famous in its own literary right, as social and cultural criticism. In April 1891, the editorial house Ward, Lock and Company published the revised version of The Picture of Dorian Gray.[2]
The only novel written by Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray exists in two versions, the 1890 magazine edition and the 1891 book edition, the story he submitted for serial publication in Lippincott's Monthly Magazine.[3] As literature of the 19th century, The Picture of Dorian Gray is an example of Gothic fiction with strong themes interpreted from the legendary Faust.[4]
Dorian Gray is the subject of a full-length portrait in oil by Basil Hallward, an artist who is impressed and infatuated by Dorian's beauty; he believes that Dorian's beauty is responsible for the new mode in his art as a painter. Through Basil, Dorian meets Lord Henry Wotton, and he soon is enthralled by the aristocrat's hedonistic worldview: that beauty and sensual fulfilment are the only things worth pursuing in life.
Understanding that his beauty will fade, Dorian expresses the desire to sell his soul, to ensure that the picture, rather than he, will age and fade. The wish is granted, and Dorian pursues a libertine life of varied and amoral experiences; all the while his portrait ages and records every soul-corrupting sin.[5]
The Picture of Dorian Gray begins on a beautiful summer day in Victorian era England, where Lord Henry Wotton, an opinionated man, is observing the sensitive artist Basil Hallward painting the portrait of Dorian Gray, their host, and the handsome young man who is Basil's ultimate muse. After hearing Lord Henry's hedonistic worldview, Dorian begins to think that beauty is the only aspect of life worth pursuing, and wishes that Basil's portrait of him would age in his stead.
Under the hedonist influence of Lord Henry, Dorian fully explores his sensuality. He discovers the actress Sibyl Vane, who performs Shakespeare plays in a dingy, working-class theatre. Dorian approaches and courts her, and soon proposes marriage. The enamoured Sibyl calls him "Prince Charming", and swoons with the happiness of being loved, but her protective brother, James, a sailor, warns that if "Prince Charming" harms her, he will kill Dorian Gray.
Dorian invites Basil and Lord Henry to see Sibyl perform in Romeo and Juliet. Sibyl, whose only knowledge of love was love of the theatre, foregoes her acting career for the experience of true love with Dorian Gray. Disheartened at her quitting the stage, Dorian rejects Sybil, telling her that acting was her beauty; without that, she no longer interests him. On returning home, Dorian notices that the portrait has changed; his wish has been realised, and the man in the portrait bears a subtle sneer of cruelty.
Conscience-stricken and lonely, Dorian decides to reconcile with Sibyl, but he is too late, as Lord Henry informs him that Sibyl killed herself by swallowing prussic acid. Dorian then understands that, where his life is headed, lust and good looks shall suffice. In the following eighteen years, Dorian experiments with every vice, influenced by a morally poisonous French novel, a gift received from the decadent Lord Henry Wotton.
[The narrative does not reveal the title of the French novel, but, at trial, Wilde said that the novel Dorian Gray read was À Rebours ('Against Nature', 1884), by Joris-Karl Huysmans.[6]]
One night, before leaving for Paris, Basil goes to Dorian's house to ask him about rumours of his self-indulgent sensualism. Dorian does not deny his debauchery, and takes Basil to a locked room to see the portrait, made hideous by Dorian's corruption. In anger, Dorian blames his fate on Basil, and stabs him dead. Dorian then calmly blackmails an old friend, the chemist Alan Campbell, into destroying the body of Basil Hallward by nitric acid.
To escape the guilt of his crime, Dorian goes to an opium den, where James Vane is unknowingly present. Upon hearing someone refer to Dorian as "Prince Charming", James seeks out and tries to shoot Dorian dead. In their confrontation, Dorian deceives James into believing that he is too young to have known Sibyl, who killed herself eighteen years earlier, as his face is still that of a young man. James relents and releases Dorian, but is then approached by a woman from the opium den who reproaches James for not killing Dorian. She confirms that the man was Dorian Gray and explains that he has not aged in eighteen years; understanding too late, James runs after Dorian, who has gone.
One evening, during dinner at home, Dorian spies James stalking the grounds of the house. Dorian fears for his life. Days later, during a shooting party, one of the hunters accidentally shoots and kills James Vane who was unknowingly lurking in a thicket. On returning to London, Dorian tells Lord Henry that he will be good from then on; his new probity begins with not breaking the heart of the naïve Hetty Merton, his current romantic interest. Dorian wonders if his new-found goodness has reverted the corruption in the picture, but sees only an uglier image of himself. From that, Dorian understands that his true motives for the self-sacrifice of moral reformation were the vanity and curiosity of his quest for new experiences.
Deciding that only full confession will absolve him of wrongdoing, Dorian decides to destroy the last vestige of his conscience. Enraged, he takes the knife with which he murdered Basil Hallward, and stabs the picture. The servants of the house awaken on hearing a cry from the locked room; on the street, passers-by who also heard the cry fetch the police. On entering the locked room, the servants find an unknown old man, stabbed in the heart, his face and figure withered and decrepit. The servants identify the disfigured corpse by the rings on his fingers to belong to their master; beside him is the picture of Dorian Gray, reverted to its original beauty.
Oscar Wilde said that, in the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), three of the characters were reflections of himself:
Basil Hallward is what I think I am: Lord Henry is what the world thinks me: Dorian is what I would like to be — in other ages, perhaps. [7]
The greatest theme in The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891) is Aestheticism and its conceptual relation to living a double life. Throughout the story, the narrative presents aestheticism as an absurd abstraction, which disillusions more than it dignifies the concept of Beauty. Despite Dorian being a hedonist when Basil accuses him of making a "by-word" of the name of Lord Henry's sister, Dorian curtly replies, "Take care, Basil. You go too far. . ."; thus, in Victorian society, public image and social standing do matter to Dorian.[8] Yet, Wilde highlights the protagonist's hedonism: Dorian enjoyed "keenly the terrible pleasure of a double life", by attending a high-society party only twenty-four hours after committing a murder.[8]
Moral duplicity and self-indulgence are evident in Dorian's patronising the opium dens of London. Wilde conflates the images of the upper-class man and lower-class man in Dorian Gray, a gentleman slumming for strong entertainment in the poor parts of London town. Lord Henry philosophically had earlier said to him that: "Crime belongs exclusively to the lower orders . . . I should fancy that crime was to them what art is to us, simply a method of procuring extraordinary sensations" — implying that Dorian is two men, a refined aesthete and a coarse criminal. That authorial observation is a thematic link to the double life recounted in The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886), by Robert Louis Stevenson, a novella admired by Oscar Wilde.[1]
In Book 2 of Plato's The Republic, Glaucon and Adeimantus present the myth of the Ring of Gyges, by means of which Gyges made himself invisible. They then ask Socrates, "If one came into possession of such a ring, why should he act justly?" Socrates replies that although no one can see one's body, the soul is disfigured by the evils one commits. The disfigured and corrupted soul (antithesis of the beautiful soul) is imbalanced and disordered, and, in itself, is undesirable, regardless of any advantage derived from acting unjustly. The picture of Dorian Gray is the means by which other people, such as his friend Basil Hallward, may see Dorian's distorted soul.
Dorian attends a performance of Tannhäuser, by Richard Wagner, and the narrative identifies him with the protagonist of the opera. Disruptive beauty is the thematic resemblance between the opera and The Picture of Dorian Gray. Based upon a mediaeval historical figure, Tannhäuser is a singer whose art is so beautiful that Venus becomes enamoured of him. The Roman goddess of love then offers him eternal life with her in the Venusberg, and he accepts; yet, Tannhäuser becomes dissatisfied with life in the Venusberg, and returns to the harsh reality of the mortal world. After participating in a singing contest, Tannhäuser is censured for the sensuality of his art; eventually, he dies searching for repentance and the love of a good woman.
About the literary hero, the author Oscar Wilde said, "in every first novel the hero is the author as Christ or Faust."[9] As in the legend of Faust, in The Picture of Dorian Gray a temptation (ageless beauty) is placed before the protagonist, which he indulges. In each story, the protagonist entices a beautiful woman to love him, and then destroys her life. In the preface to the novel (1891), Wilde said that the notion behind the tale is "old in the history of literature", but was a thematic subject to which he had "given a new form".[10]
Unlike the academic Faust, the gentleman Dorian makes no deal with the Devil, who is represented by the cynical hedonist Lord Henry, who presents the temptation that will corrupt the virtue and innocence that Dorian possesses at the start of the story. Throughout, Lord Henry appears unaware of the effect of his actions upon the young man; and so frivolously advises Dorian, that "the only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it, and your soul grows sick with longing."[11] As such, the devilish Lord Henry is "leading Dorian into an unholy pact, by manipulating his innocence and insecurity."[12]
In the preface to The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), Wilde speaks of the sub-human Caliban character from The Tempest. When Dorian tells Lord Henry, about his new love Sibyl Vane, he mentions the Shakespeare plays in which she has acted, and refers to her by the name of the heroine of each play. Later, Dorian speaks of his life by quoting Hamlet, a privileged character who impels his girlfriend (Ophelia) to suicide, and prompts her brother (Laertes) to swear mortal revenge.
The anonymous "poisonous French novel" that leads Dorian to his fall is a thematic variant of À rebours (1884), by Joris-Karl Huysmans. In the biography, Oscar Wilde (1989), the literary critic Richard Ellmann said that:
Wilde does not name the book, but at his trial he conceded that it was, or almost [was], Huysmans's À rebours . . . to a correspondent, he wrote that he had played a 'fantastic variation' upon À rebours, and [that] someday must write it down. The references in Dorian Gray to specific chapters are deliberately inaccurate.[13]
The Picture of Dorian Gray originally was a short novel submitted to Lippincott's Monthly Magazine for serial publication. In 1889, J. M. Stoddart, an editor for Lippincott, was in London to solicit short novels to publish in the magazine. On 30 August 1889, Stoddart dined with Oscar Wilde, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and T. P. Gill [14] at the Langham Hotel, and commissioned short novels from each writer.[15] Conan Doyle promptly submitted The Sign of the Four (1890) to Stoddart, but Wilde was more dilatory; Conan Doyle's second Sherlock Holmes novel was published in the February 1890 edition of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine, yet Stoddart did not receive Wilde's manuscript for The Picture of Dorian Gray until 7 April 1890, nine months after having commissioned the novel from him.[15]
The literary merits of The Picture of Dorian Gray impressed Stoddart, but, as an editor, he told the publisher, George Lippincott, "in its present condition there are a number of things an innocent woman would make an exception to. . . ."[15] Among the pre-publication deletions that Stoddart and his editors made to the text of Wilde's original manuscript were: (i) passages alluding to homosexuality and to homosexual desire; (ii) all references to the fictional book title Le Secret de Raoul and its author, Catulle Sarrazin; and (iii) all "mistress" references to Gray's lovers, Sibyl Vane and Hetty Merton.[15]
The Picture of Dorian Gray was published on 20 June 1890, in the July issue of Lippincott's Monthly Magazine. British reviewers condemned the novel's immorality, and said condemnation was so controversial that the W H Smith publishing house withdrew every copy of the July 1890 issue of "Lippincott's Monthly Magazine" from its bookstalls in railway stations.[15] Consequent to the harsh criticism of the 1890 magazine edition, Wilde ameliorated the homoerotic references, in order to simplify the moral message of the story.[15] In the magazine edition (1890), Basil tells Lord Henry how he "worships" Dorian, and begs him not to "take away the one person that makes my life absolutely lovely to me." In the magazine edition, Basil concentrates upon love, whereas, in the book edition (1891), Basil concentrates upon his art, saying to Lord Henry, "the one person who gives my art whatever charm it may possess: my life as an artist depends on him." The magazine edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) was expanded from thirteen to twenty chapters; and the magazine edition's final chapter was divided into two chapters, the nineteenth and twentieth chapters of the book edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891). Wilde's textual additions were about "fleshing out of Dorian as a character" and providing details of his ancestry that made his "psychological collapse more prolonged and more convincing."[16]
The introduction of the James Vane character to the story develops the socio-economic background of the Sibyl Vane character, thus emphasising Dorian's selfishness and foreshadowing James's accurate perception of the essentially immoral character of Dorian Gray; thus, he correctly deduced Dorian's dishonourable intent towards Sybil. The sub-plot about James Vane's dislike of Dorian gives the novel a Victorian tinge of class struggle. With such textual changes, Oscar Wilde meant to diminish the moralistic controversy about the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray.
Consequent to the harsh criticism of the magazine edition of the novel, the textual revisions to The Picture of Dorian Gray included a preface in which Wilde addressed the criticisms and defend the reputation of his novel.[17] To communicate how the novel should be read, in the Preface, Wilde explains the role of the artist in society, the purpose of art, and the value of beauty. It traces Wilde's cultural exposure to Taoism and to the philosophy of Chuang Tsǔ (Zhuang Zhou). Earlier, before writing the preface, Wilde had written a book review of Herbert Giles's translation of the work of Zhuang Zhou. The preface was first published in the 1891 edition of the novel; nonetheless, by June 1891, Wilde was defending The Picture of Dorian Gray against accusations that it was a bad book.[18]
In the essay The Artist as Critic, Oscar Wilde said that:
The honest ratepayer and his healthy family have no doubt often mocked at the dome-like forehead of the philosopher, and laughed over the strange perspective of the landscape that lies beneath him. If they really knew who he was, they would tremble. For Chuang Tsǔ spent his life in preaching the great creed of Inaction, and in pointing out the uselessness of all things.[19]
In the 19th. century, the critical reception of the novel The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890) was poor. The book critic of The Irish Times said, The Picture of Dorian Gray was "first published to some scandal."[20] Such book reviews achieved for the novel a "certain notoriety for being 'mawkish and nauseous', 'unclean', 'effeminate' and 'contaminating'."[21] Such moralistic scandal arose from the novel's homoeroticism, which offended the sensibilities (social, literary, and aesthetic) of Victorian book critics. Yet, most of the criticism was personal, attacking Wilde for being a hedonist with a distorted view of conventional morality of Victorian Britain. In the 30 June 1890 issue, the Daily Chronicle the book critic said that Wilde's novel contains "one element . . .which will taint every young mind that comes in contact with it." In the 5 July 1890 issue, of the Scots Observer, the reviewer asked, "Why must Oscar Wilde 'go grubbing in muck-heaps?' " In response to such criticism, Wilde obscured the homoeroticism of the story and expanded the personal background of the characters.[22]
After the initial publication of the magazine edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray (1890), Wilde expanded the text from 13 to 20 chapters and obscured the homoerotic themes of the story.[23] In the novel version of The Picture of Dorian Gray (1891), chapters 3, 5, and 15 to 18, inclusive, are new; and chapter 13 of the magazine edition was divided, and became chapters 19 and 20 of the novel edition.[24] In 1895, at his trials, Oscar Wilde said he revised the text of The Picture of Dorian Gray, because of letters sent to him, by the cultural critic Walter Pater.[25]

The uncensored edition
In 2011, the Belknap Press published The Picture of Dorian Gray: An Annotated, Uncensored Edition. The edition includes text that was deleted by JM Stoddart, Wilde's initial editor, before the story's publication in "Lippincott's Monthly Magazine" in 1890.[26][27][28][29]
In Ireland, for the Dublin "One City, One Book" literary festival, The Picture of Dorian Gray was the "Book of 2010".[30]
Big Finish Productions published the audio-drama series The Confessions of Dorian Gray (2013) based on the premise that Oscar Wilde based The Picture of Dorian Gray on a real man; the actor Alexander Vlahos portrays Dorian Gray.[31] An adaptation of the The Picture of Dorian Gray, by David Llewellyn, directed by Scott Handcock, and with Alexander Vlahos, as Dorian Gray; it was released in August 2013.[32]

I have been working at Charles River Associates full-time (more than a year)
ProsIf you want to get a phd but don't want to go right away, this is a good stepping stone
ConsVery dry work as junior staff - just data cleaning and other segmented tasks that are given from higher management. No way to move up in the company without going back to grad school. Culture can be a little too formal (at least in Boston) - other offices could be different. Ultimately, I regret choosing this as my post-grad job and am now actively looking for alternatives

Synopsis: The United States is like a giant jigsaw puzzle, with each state having a uniquely shaped border to fit into its neighboring states. Americans are familiar with each state's shape, but how did those shapes come about? That's what this series, hosted by former "Daily Show" correspondent Brian Unger, explains. Unger crisscrosses the country talking to local experts and everyday people in search of the stories behind the boundaries. Religion, transportation and Mother Nature are just a few of the factors that have caused the states' borders to evolve over time, some of which may be continuing to evolve.
