Fess Elisha Parker, Jr. (August 16, 1924 – March 18, 2010)[1] was an American film and television actor best known for his portrayals of Davy Crockett in the Walt Disney 1955–56 TV mini-series and as TV's Daniel Boone from 1964 to 1970.[2][3] He was also known as a wine maker and resort owner-operator.
The Fess Parker Winery is one of the wineries along the famous Foxen Canyon Wine Trail.
Contents |
Fess Parker was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and grew up on a farm near San Angelo.[4] He enlisted in the U.S. Navy in the latter part of World War II,[5][6] hoping to become a pilot. He was turned down because he was too tall at 6 feet 6 inches (1.98 m).[7] He then tried to become a radioman gunner, but he was found too big to fit comfortably into the rear cockpit. He was finally transferred to the Marine Corps as a radio operator and shipped out for the South Pacific shortly before the atom bomb ended the war.[7]
Discharged in 1946, he enrolled in Hardin-Simmons on the GI Bill. He was stabbed in the neck by another driver during a post-collision argument.[7] He was an active member of the H-SU Players Club and transferred to the University of Texas in 1947 as a history major and continued to be active in dramatics. Parker graduated from the University of Texas in 1950 with a degree in history. He had been initiated into the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity. Having one year remaining on his GI Bill, he studied drama at the University of Southern California, working towards a master's degree in theater history.[1][8]
Parker began his show-business career by summer 1951 when he had a $32-a-week job as an extra in the play Mister Roberts,[8] although he is credited with the voice of Leslie, the chauffeur, in the 1950 film Harvey.[9] Within months, he was on location with a minor part in Untamed Frontier with Joseph Cotten and Shelley Winters.[10]
Parker became a contract player with Warner Brothers appearing in small roles in several films such as Springfield Rifle (1952), Island in the Sky, The Bounty Hunter and Battle Cry. In 1954, he appeared as Grat Dalton in the Jim Davis western anthology Stories of the Century in the episode The Dalton Brothers.
According to Parker himself, when the Walt Disney Company was looking for an actor to play Davy Crockett, they originally considered James Arness for the title role. Parker had recently graduated to a contract weekly actor, but listened to his agent and appeared in a B movie called Them! which required only one day's work. He had a small scene in the movie as a pilot put into an insane asylum after claiming his plane had been downed by giant flying insects. Arness appeared in a larger role in the same film.[11]
During a screening of this film Walt Disney looked past Arness and discovered Parker. Disney was impressed by Parker's portrayal of a man who was unswerving in his belief in what he saw despite the forces of authority against him. Parker was asked to drop by the Disney Studio. When he did, he brought his guitar, met Disney, sang a song, then said goodbye. Several weeks later he was told he had been selected over Arness and several other actors for the role, including Buddy Ebsen who eventually played Crockett's companion, George Russell.[11]
Disney's three episode version of Crockett depicted his exploits as a frontiersman, congressman, and tragic hero of the Alamo. It has been called the first television miniseries, though the term had not yet been coined. Davy Crockett (1954–55) was a tremendous hit and led to a merchandising frenzy for coonskin caps and all things Crockett.[11]
Parker became a contract star for Disney and appeared in The Great Locomotive Chase, Westward Ho, the Wagons!, Old Yeller, and The Light in the Forest. He complained they were all basically the same role. Disney refused to loan Parker for roles outside of that persona, such as The Searchers and Bus Stop.[12]
Parker made guest appearances on many television programs, and composed and sang. He performed the occasional role of Tom Conrad, editor of the Diablo Courier in the syndicated western series, Annie Oakley (1954–1957), starring Gail Davis, Brad Johnson, and Jimmy Hawkins.[13] In 1962, he starred in the title role of the TV series Mr Smith Goes to Washington. Parker took to the stage in 1963, in a traveling production of Oklahoma! as 'Curly'. The movie roles he sought were elusive.[11]
Parker's Daniel Boone television series portraying another historic figure of America's frontier days began filming in 1964. Over its six years (1964 to 1970) as one of the highest rated shows of its time, Parker was not only the star of the series but also the co-producer and director of five of its most popular episodes.[14]
Ironically, having been under contract to Disney, Parker became interested in opening a Davy Crockett-themed amusement park. In the late 1960s, he optioned land in northern Kentucky at the confluence of Interstate 71 and Interstate 75, with the intention of building Frontier World. However, when the Taft Broadcasting Company of Cincinnati, Ohio began building Kings Island Amusement Park in nearby Mason, Ohio, less than a 2-hour drive from Parker's site, financing for Parker's venture dried up.
Turning down the title role of McCloud, Parker retired from the film industry in the 1970s, after a short-lived 1974 sitcom, The Fess Parker Show.
Fess Parker was nominated for best new personality Emmy in 1954, but lost to George Gobel. He was never nominated again, nor was his show Daniel Boone.[15]
In 2003, Parker received the Texas Cultural Trust's "Texas Medal of Arts Award", established only the year before.[16][17]
For his work with Disney, Parker was honored in December 2004 with his own tribute window on a façade in the Frontierland section of Disneyland.[18]
After his acting career, Parker devoted much of his time to operating his Fess Parker Family Winery and Vineyards in Los Olivos, California.[19] The winery is owned and operated by Parker's family, and has produced several different types of award-winning wines. Parker's son, Eli, is President and Director of Winemaking & Vineyard Operations while daughter, Ashley, is Vice President of Marketing & Sales.[19]
The Parker operation includes over 1,500 acres (610 ha) of vineyards, and a tasting room and visitor center along the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail. In addition to wine, the winery is known for selling coon skin caps and bottle toppers, inspired by Parker's Crockett and Boone characters, and for appearing in the movie Sideways.
In a reminiscence of his acting days, Parkers' wine labels have a logo of a golden coonskin cap.[20]
Parker married Marcella Belle Rinehart on January 18, 1960. They had two children — Fess Elisha III and Ashley Allen Rinehart — along with 11 grandchildren and a great-grandson.[14]
According to a spokesperson, Parker died of natural causes on March 18, 2010, at his home in Santa Ynez, California, near the Fess Parker Winery.[1][21]
He was buried with his parents in Santa Barbara Cemetery, in Santa Barbara, California.

Thou Swell
"Thou Swell" | |
Song from A Connecticut Yankee | |
Published | 1927 |
Writer | Lorenz Hart |
Composer | Richard Rodgers |
"Thou Swell" is a show tune, a popular song and a jazz standard.
The music was written by Richard Rodgers, with words by Lorenz Hart, for the 1927 musical A Connecticut Yankee. There are jazz vocal renditions by Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Blossom Dearie, Ella Fitzgerald and Joe Williams. Fats Waller and Billy May both recorded the song instrumentally.
An instrumental version was recorded in Oslo on April 29, 1954 by "Verden Rundt's" All Star Band (Rowland Greenberg (trp) - A. Skjold (trombone) - K. Stokke (alt) - K. Bergheim (tenor) - Knut Hyrum (baritone) - I. Børsum (bass) - Scott Lunde (piano) - K. O. Hoff (drums)). Arranger and conductor: Egil Monn-Iversen. It was released on the 78 rpm record Musica RA-9005. The B-side was "Perdido".
The lyric is notable, as indicated by the title, for its mix of old English and modern slang.
The music of the song is featured in the film All About Eve (1950). It is played on the piano at the party when Margo tells her friends to "fasten their seat belts".

Sure. Used Remington 870 or Mossberg 500. Both should be around $250-$300 in very good shape. Not so much for shooting clays in competition - but for just going to the range and banging out a few boxes of shells, they will treat you right. JD
Bascially the Chevy small block of the shotgun world. More add ons available than just about anything in the gun market, short of the Reminton 700 of course, and EVERYONE can work on the damn things. They run, they run well and they are reliable. They aren't the most cutting edge design, but they have been around for as long as they have been for a reason. Durable. Reliable. And they don't cost an arm a leg to get into.... Just a thought for your price range... JD
Oh yeah, EASILY get one for under $400. Once in a while MC Sports has a Mossberg 500 combo (vent rib barrel and rifled barrel) for $250. Dunham's Sports also has the Mossberg 500 combo on sale with a scope for $300 all the time. You will have no problem getting a shotgun on that budget.
Shotgun home defense, to me, is short barrel (easy to swing in tighter spaces) smooth bore for large buckshot (never bird shot in home defense). Trap shooting is long smooth barrel with game loads. Listen to TommyBommy66 and look at the Mossberg 500. Used 'bout $150-180. You can buy barrels for $130-175. No scope needed for either use. Combos can be had for less than $250. I love my Mossberg 500A. Use it for turkey, deer, home protect and trap.
From C3Shooter: Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
I forgot to mention that the Mossberg 500 shoots both 2-3/4" and 3" shells while the 870 is 2-3/4" only. That is all.
Hate to be argumentative, but I don't think they have made a 2-3/4" only Model 870 in 20 years.
Century Arms AR-15A2, 5.56 1946 Mosin-Nagant M44, 7.62x54R 1978 YUGO SKS, 7.62x39 NEF Protector Pump, 12 gauge Savage Model 64, .22LR NEF Pardner Tracker II, 12 gauge Rock Island Armory 1911A1, .45 ACP Remington 870 'Express Magnum' 12 gauge Bersa Thunder .380

"Loved how easy it was to drag and drop photos! Customization process was very user friendly and everyone loved how our announcement turned out. The card looked great and felt great! Loved that it felt like a good quality product and not a cheap price of paper. I definitely recommend this product!"
"I got the shimmer looking on my cards & they were absolutely beautiful. They are great cards for the value & shipping was awesome too."
"This design allows you to showcase a variety of photos. Love the blues for baby boy birth announcement. Personally didn't care for standard matte or pearlized. Opted for semi-gloss. Tiny Prints has the most AMAZING customer service. You can also order samples to see design and paper quality. I didn't realize that at first. I just wish the samples didn't take 2 wks to arrive, in my opinion too long hence why delivery received a 4."
"This design was fun to use with the ability to upload 3 images and text boxes were simple to edit. Note: You can add to the ounces (like 9.14 oz.), by changing to 'lbs' & 'oz'. Apparently that can be important to the family! ;) Got rave reviews from those that received the card too!"
"I got SO many compliments on this announcement for my son. It is so colorful and playful, perfect for our baby boy! I love it so much, it couldn't have been any more perfect."

Cat 3126 Oil leak
Mornin' Ya'all,
Thought while I was here I would post about this lil' leak. Had it for some time & itjust kept getting worse so I figured it's a good time to fix it. Oil seeping around HUEI pump flange.Runs down side of block to pan & runs out both sides of pan making it an awful mess.
$4.75 "O" ring seal repairs it but it takes all day on one like mine because you have to pull power steering & air compressor off to get to it. While I'm in there replacing all the "O" ring seal just for good measure only abot $40.00 worth but better now than on the road.
Do it myself save the $400.00 labor Cat wanted.

RE: Cat 3126 Oil leak
Good move, Jimmy. DOT inspectors are gettting a little more strict with oil leakage now.
CAT's HEUI (High energy unit injection) system uses engine oil to power the fuel injectors, and a lot of times if there isn't an external oil leak with the system, the system will spray oil into the fuel, causing numerous other problems, as there are other O rings up at the injectors themselves. One case on EO we had a guy loosing a lot of oil in his engine, but couldn't figure out where it was going. No visible smoke or external leaks, but loosing quarts by the hour. It was spraying into the fuel injector returns, and ending up in the fuel tanks due to bad injector seals. (Mixing chocolate with peanut butter!) A new injector set and a flush of the tanks cured it, but to the tune of lots of bucks. This has me wondering again.. does the use of Lucas oil treatment or similar products help keep the 3126's fuel system seals from drying out too, as the injectors are oil powered? I'll bet it does!

RE: Cat 3126 Oil leak
Thanks for the reply. I've heard of the problems you mentioned from other sources. I think the Lucas will help a lot. But those seals are like the same ones used in the old cat heavy equipment transmissions.
I don't think lube hurts them but heat does them in. All I replaced were very brittle.Also this engine isn't nothing but seals anyway,only head gasket & turbo oil return flange gasket rest "O" ring type seals. Thanks again.

Another way to avoid oil crossover into the injector system is to keep the engine speed up when idling for long periods, 850 - 900rpm should do. 3126's will let quite a bit leak over unless you keep extended idle rpm up.

Best home performance decided - now it's the best away performance
Last week you had the opportunity to vote for what you considered had been our best home league performance of the 2012/13 season, and it came as no surprise to see the opening day win against Bolton come out on top. Martin Paterson scored the first goal against Bolton
Apart from being the first game of the season it brought with it the added incentive of getting one over on Owen Coyle for a second time as he was again made to squirm in the away dug out as Martin Paterson and Charlie Austin scored in a 2-0 win.
It didn't just come out on top; it won a staggering 61.4% of the vote leaving all the other home wins and draws fighting each other for second place. By the time the vote finished there were two 1-0 wins, against Leeds in November and the Crystal Palace victory in January, in joint second place with just a 6.4% share.
Now it is the turn of the away games and all the wins and draws have been included giving a total of 12 games to choose from.
From the front page or the VOTING POLLS page you can select from the wins at Derby, Bristol City, Hull, Sheffield Wednesday, Millwall, Charlton and Wolves or the draws obtained at Barnsley, Birmingham, Peterborough, Blackburn and Watford.
The vote will run until the end of Wednesday.
The home game result in full is
61.4%: 2-0 v Bolton6.4%: 1-0 v Leeds & 1-0 v Crystal Palace5.4%: 5-2 v Peterborough4.6%: 1-1 v Blackburn3.1%: 2-0 v Wolves2.6%: 3-1 v Bristol City2.3%: 1-0 v Blackpool2.1%: 2-0 v Ipswich1.3%: 3-3 v Sheffield Wednesday & 2-0 v Derby0.8%: 2-2 v Millwall & 1-1 v Cardiff0.5% - 1-1 v Watford, 1-1 v Barnsley, & 1-1 v Nottm Forest

I've been working on speed cards for a while now, though I had a pause for a while because I received LOTS of school assignments. But anyways, I've improved in so many ways!
Firstly, I've been practising my PAO-system a lot by trying to see my images as fast as possible. Works like a charm!
Secondly, I've been doing this thing that Jonas von Essen told me about; Grabbing 18 cards and memorize them really, really fast. That way you practise both your PAO-system, and your speed of your memorization. It's really effective and have improved my time by horse lengths.

An economic criminal complaining about supposed unethical behavior, hilarious. The regime there will do anything to distract, and then officials involved will siphon off money and buy their way into the west.
Taking an aging money pit MB to the dealer instead of a well regarded indy mechanic, also hilarious
goaterguy Posts: 51
looking at the depreciation of these cars, the free market is a great indicator of how these cars are worth. People complain at the Tesla powertrain failures but for a manufacturer like MB that has been building cars for over 100 years, this is ridiculous. I am no tree huger but can see how EVs are the future.

What a piece of junk. Someone I know just got a 2002 CL500 - the front end fell on him, ABC light came on, bumper fell off.. all within the first day. He has bad credit and is a moron so, even advising him away from this lemon was never going to happen. He has his luxury Mercedes for $10,000+$1000/mo in estimated maintenance. Tires, brakes, regular up keep, on top of everything breaking every other week.. what a delightful ownership experience.

We could all cluck our teeth about how MB tried to put too many elecronic gizmos in their vehicles and ended up with poor reliability. But when you see their flagship motor, the hand-build AMG 12 cylinder, self-destructing at modest mileage, you know they are truly horrible automobiles.
mercedesfan Posts: 301
When the first post about this went up I was expecting the worst. However, a failed ignition coil is an easy and common repair. I'm actually surprised your dealer didn't recommend these be changed at your last service because V12 motors are notorious for eating their coils. It's hard too be too upset about this repair because it can and does happen to every car. The other $12k worth of repairs, on the other hand, is absurd for a car with just 60K+ miles. Welcome to a turn-of-the-century Benz.
duck87 Posts: 648
The potential issues with cylinders 11 and 12 are interesting. Either those cylinders are not getting enough fill (which I would normally expect only for naturally aspirated engines with plenum style intakes where the rear cylinders usually get less air), or there is a problem with the coolant circuit, either flow stagnation/poor circulation or just coolant being too warm in that spot. Or the engine ingested something small. Very interesting...
In any case, on a scale of 1 to Tesla, the unreliability factor of this car might actually exceed the Tesla, except you don't have a warranty to protect you!

Once the Benz finally leaves/is towed out of the LT fleet, please get another fancy Euro ride. Like a 5-10 year old Range Rover. The real one, not the sport version. Those also can be had for cheap and may be just as an entertaining experience for your readers. Maybe not the Edmunds' staff...

those plugs look oil fouled.
If you are a speed and luxury junkie, despite the repairs, the 215 cl65 offers a hell of a value. Where else are you getting that kinda power, full leather interior, and good looks for that kinda price.
The other problem is edmunds exercising some stupidity. You are in the LA area as far as I know where there are dozens of Mercedes independents. Why you would use the dealer for this stuff I'm not sure. A cheap $350 knock off of SDS and some know how is really all an indy would need.

Don't Be My Enemy LyricsArtist: Wang ChungAlbum: Points on the Curve You had your dreams You required a scheme of things That evolved and resolved through the years And I had my part (When you wrote me out) But you broke my heart (When you wrote me out) Now you spend your whole time trying To burn me to the ground Chorus: Don't be my enemy Can't you see What you're doing to me Don't be my enemy Can't you see What an effect this is having on me? I had a thought It was just a simple thought Of a friend, very close, very clear But then it stopped looking so straight (When you wrote me out) You found the hate (When you wrote me out) Now you spend your whole time trying to make Me look like your main fool Repeat Chorus

Lye betting shop raided by armed and masked robbers
A bookmakers in Stourbridge has been robbed by three masked men who also assaulted a member of staff.
The men, who were described as white and wearing dark clothing, went into the shop in Lye High Street at about 08:30 BST.
They threatened staff with a wooden bat and screwdrivers, before two of them jumped over the counter and demanded cash.
The men then attacked one employee and left them with head injuries.

White House correspondents' dinner: Conan O'Brien too safe for 'nerd prom'? (+video)
Page 3 of 3
"I'm not saying thinking more creatively and independently about who is going to host the Association's dinner will come close to fixing all the problems of the White House press corps. But it might help the Association consider who it wants to represent the organization on that dais, what role it thinks it's members have, and its own capacity to take a joke – and criticism," Rosenberg writes.
As for us, we're wondering what Conan is going to get paid. Ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is now reportedly asking upwards of $200,000 per speech. Do comedians make that kind of money?
Not according to the Form 990s that the WHCA must file with the IRS. According to its paperwork for 2011, the latest available, that giant dinner grosses about $630,000. Of that, about $250,000 goes to charitable contributions for things such as journalism scholarships. In 2011, the room and food cost $382,000.
Entertainment? Their 2011 line item for that was a measly $10,000. Of course, the headliner that year was Seth Meyers, who is great on Saturday Night Live but not exactly making Jay Leno worry about his job.
Mr. Leno himself was the 2010 speaker. Entertainment that year cost $43,000, according to IRS records. Maybe O'Brien will get that. Or maybe all of the comedians should ring up Mrs. Clinton and ask for the name of her agent.

2007 Salary Survey
Median Salary Range 2007
Upon registration, how much of a salary increase it typically offered?
Does the firm pay any of the preparation expenses for the registration exam?
$96,928 High media salary for architects of 15+ years
Benefits for full-time staff
Services offered by responding firms
Innovative, comprehensive benefits packages are key if firms want to retain high-quality design professionals and maximize their employees' potential. Most firms included in the 2007–2008 survey pay 100 percent of the cost of medical coverage for employees; 80 percent and 75 percent are the next most common levels of medical coverage. Beyond promoting healthy lifestyles with fitness subsidies and flexible spending accounts, some firms try to meet the changing needs of today's professionals with support for paternity leave and with day-care subsidies.
The most competitive firms rely on employees who are working at the top of their game. By offering education reimbursement, they ensure that staff will bring fresh, informed perspectives to challenge existing paradigms, leading to true firm differentiation. Association dues and education reimbursement are important parts of a valued benefits program.
For keeping staff happy, healthy, and productive, a collegiate, attractive environment can do as much as a good benefits plan. Well-designed office spaces have been proven to increase retention and decrease absenteeism. Likewise, an atmosphere of professional integrity and communication is a major draw for design professionals. Health-minded benefits combined with a positive environment and a healthy perspective toward emerging trends will help a practice become dedicated, vibrant, and relevant, and push it into the best-practice zone.
However, a pressing concern for management and architects alike is the rising cost of health care coverage. Employer costs for health insurance premiums have risen 6.5 percent to 8.4 percent in the last year, according to Kaiser Family Foundation reports and Greenway Group consulting analyses. This means that firms have less to distribute in real wage increases to staff.
Conventional wisdom might suggest that the larger the firm, the higher the base salary and larger the bonuses. But this is seldom the case. Firms of all sizes with strong brand reputations can (and in some cases do) pay their equity partners in the high six figures, but firms are increasingly weighing a profit-per-partner metric as a measure of performance.
There is no data to support the position taken by some practice management theorists that midsize firms are losing their performance edge, nor that they are categorically underpaying their professional staff. Equity partners at midsize firms often earn salaries comparable with their large-firm counterparts, and overall data indicates that well-managed firms of all sizes can flourish in contemporary practice.
Without a doubt, globalization and technological innovations are a boon to North American architectural practices of all sizes and their employees. The devaluation of the dollar has made reverse outsourcing attractive—for reasonable fees, overseas clients can contract with highly attractive design brands. Technological advances are improving productivity. Although some employee positions are threatened, most firms in our survey believe that the practice of architecture will grow. And salaries for talented creative professionals will see continued, healthy growth. (Whether increases reliably outpace inflation depends on productivity.)
Our research suggests that architects—and other designers within firms—believe they are appropriately compensated. Pay is generally not the reason why firms lose employees. Instead, a perceived lack of respect or civility in the workplace, the absence of meaningful assignments, and lack of challenging growth opportunities cause turnover.
Most equity principals and nonequity principals are "significantly satisfied" with base and bonus compensation and do not expect them to change dramatically over the next several years. This trend indicates cautious optimism about the short- to midterm economy and a general confidence and satisfaction regarding the profession's future.
The design has garnered attention from around the world on social media.

One Flew South at ATL, Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson is the country's busiest airport, so chances are you'll be killing time here at some point. Luckily, you can do it at One Flew South, in Terminal E. Nothing about this upscale spot says "airport." Not the pink Cherokee marble bar, not the woodland mural behind it nor the silver orbs glowing above it, and certainly not the Wine Spectator award–winning list of vintages. The bartenders here know their way around an Old Fashioned and have mixed up a list of creative takes on cocktails (such as Bellinis made with ginger syrup and Georgia peach purée). If your layover coincides with dinner hour, the kitchen can set you up with locally inspired fare with an Asian twist. The hoisin pulled-duck BBQ sandwich with fig and peanut relish holds up particularly well to generous pours of Old Forester bourbon.

This is very exciting moment for me and I hope i'm welcome into this new family.
Here i want to share some experience as a newbie. I just bought my TF300T (blue) yesterday and it came with ICS 4.0.3.
It was smooth, zero lag and amazing when it was out of the box. Then i went back home and downloaded some apps and meanwhile upgraded it to Jellybean.
After everything was finished, the tab boot as usual but now the feeling was different. There was obvious stuttering and lag in any apps even at the homescreen.
I was sad and frustated on updating to jellybean. But then on the next morning, i did 'factory data reset', and everything is ok! The smoothness returned and much better than ICS. i was glad i did it and now i can't be happier than before.
I'm not yet root my transformers as to preserve warranty. The transformer is the best.tablet.ever!

2008), trauma (Cohen, Kelleher, and Mannarino, 2008), maternal depression (Grupp-Phelan, Wade, et al., 2007), suicide (Aseltine and DeMartino, 2004), and drug abuse (McCabe, 2008), to name a few. The large number of tools available reflects the spectrum of problems and developmental stages to be screened, as well as perhaps the lack of standardization of approaches in this field.
The sensitivity (the ability to accurately identify individuals at risk) and specificity (the ability to accurately identify those not at risk) of available screening tools are important considerations (Meisels and Atkins-Burnett, 2005; Glascoe, 2000). On one hand, a high false-positive rate compounds the problem of stigmatization of potentially healthy children. On the other hand, an excessive false-negative rate will preclude many children in need from being identified and getting the early intervention services needed to keep them healthy. Most of the instruments reviewed have sensitivities and specificities in the 70-90 percent range, which is acceptable for screening. Positive and negative predictive values (the probability of disease among those with a positive test and the probability of no disease among those with a negative test, respectively) are usually not reported in these analyses. The committee did not systematically review the evidence related to all screening tools but was struck by the breadth of available tools.
Adaptation of screening tools for specific ethnic/cultural groups may be required. Psychometric properties are not always demonstrated for these groups (Pignone, Gaynes, et al., 2002). Children from culturally or linguistically distinct backgrounds may respond differently than majority youth not only to the screening instrument, but also to the screening process itself (Snowden and Yamada, 2005). In addition, behaviors and emotions that tools identify as dysfunctional may be adaptive in the sociocultural and physical environments of some ethnic minority children and families (Canino and Spurlock, 1994; Dubrow and Garbarino, 1989). Although race and ethnicity are often confounded with socioeconomic status, and socioeconomic status is the stronger predictor of MEB disorders, efforts to increase the cultural relevance, including the linguistic acceptability, of screening tools warrant attention.
Screening guidelines should be acceptable to the population and not cause labeling. Historically, the U.S. public has favored the opportunity to gain knowledge of potentially adverse medical situations or outcomes so that action can be taken to avoid the consequences. For example, all states have newborn screening programs in place, many of which test for 20, 30, or even more serious disorders. However, circumstances related to prevention of MEB disorders may frame this point of view differently. Some people do not want to acknowledge or think about mental illness. When screening results have the potential to adversely label or stigmatize young

Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. This was an impressive novel - it was thought-provoking and idea-inspiring. I don't really have anything to add that hasn't been said much better by so many others who have analyzed this book, except that I was impressed. Read after seeing the movie. Glossary of NADSAT in the back. Like virtually all American editions of the time, missing the final chapter I remember the distaste I had for this book when I first read it and so I picked it up again with some trepidation. This time, though, like little Alex, I find I have changed and I appreciated the novel much more. Burgess does seem to be suggesting two or three rather contradictory ideas, though – or at least that's what it seems to me at the moment. On the one hand he is making it clear that he thinks taking away our free will is too reductive although the characters who propound this view – the chaplain and Alex's earlier victim, F. Alexander, and his political allies – are not characters who appeal to us. Restoring Alex's free will, though, is not presented positively with Alex happily contemplating violence again. And then we have Alex's rejection of violence and his looking forward to a quietly married life but thinking that any son he has will be just like him – a person who in their youth can't stop the way they behave but carry on like wind-up toys banging into things. What does all this amount to? Even remembering that Alex as narrator is not necessarily reliable, it seems to me that Burgess is suggesting that whether we curtail people's behaviour or not, we have little control over what we do. Of course this is something people have been thinking about for a long time, and more recent discoveries tell us how much our behaviour is determined by sources outside our control. It's depressing, though. In fact the whole book is depressing. When I first read the book I was very uneasy about Alex's violent behaviour but this time I felt at least equally uneasy about his parents' lives of drudgery, society offering so little to them that I could understand Alex having no desire to share in the life it offered. All the political manipulation in the book is still highly relevant to today's world even if it's increasingly multi-nationals in charge rather than individual governments. What perhaps makes this as convincing as it is is the language Burgess has given his narrator. More and more I am becoming convinced that an appropriate choice of words is the bedrock of a successful novel. And this one's language was much more easily understood than Kingsnorth's in 'The Wake'. I should now go back to 'Riddley Scott' and see how I fare with that one a second time round . . . This book was AMAZING!!! I was nervous, at first, because the language is one that Burgess seems to have made up to support the style of his protagonist. However, I was able to understand it after a few pages... I felt like I was reading Shakespeare, in a way--I've always felt that his iambic pentameter takes some getting used to, as well, but once you're submerged in it, it all flows quite naturally. I found the same with this book--in fact, there were times I found myself thinking things (about happenings in my own life) in Burgess' language! I saw Kubrick's movie several years ago, and while I found it interesting, I'm not sure I'd have ever watched it again. I don't think I *got* it, if you know what I mean. Well, I understood the story much better this time, when I was able to read it at my own pace and sort of absorb it. One thing I REALLY appreciated was that the edition I found (same as the one pictured above) included the final chapter originally written by Burgess.... that chapter was included in the original book released in the UK, but in the US, it was removed. (There are arguments as to why....) Upon re-releasing the book in the late '80's, they agreed to include that final chapter. I felt that it actually enhanced the story--I came away from it feeling much better than I probably would have if I'd read it with that final chapter omitted. I'm tempted to go back and watch the movie again..... Anthony Burgess' A Clockwork Orange is one of the most brilliant and original books I've ever read. It was astounding, in fact, I haven't enough adjectives to describe the power of the book, and the linguistic genius of its author. Set in a post-apocalyptic London, Alex is the leader of a gang of toughs who get their jollies severely beating innocent strangers, and gang-raping any women unfortunate enough to cross their path. Their brutality is sickening, and it's only the disguise of Burgess' created Nadsat language that keeps the violence from overwhelming the reader. Betrayed and deserted by his fellow gang-members, Alex is arrested one evening, and is tried for murder, as one of the gang's victims has died. He is sentenced to a long term inside an overcrowded prison, and what happens to him there and after his release forms the main part of the tale. It's an rich book, intelligent, creative: the mere linguistic part of the book alone is enough to excite and fascinate. My brain went a bit further and pictured the young Malcolm McDowell in this role, heard his voice whilst reading, and this mental trickery made the book's nightmarish quality even more astonishing.
But all in all, "A Clockwork Orange" is a tour-de-force in nastiness, an inventive primer in total violence, a savage satire on the distortions of the single and collective minds. In A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess has written what looks like a nasty little shocker but is really that rare thing in English letters—a philosophical novel. The point may be overlooked because the hero, a teen-age monster, tells all about everything in nadsat, a weird argot that seems to be all his own. Nadsat is neither gibberish nor a Joycean exercise. It serves to put Alex where he belongs—half in and half out of the human race.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0393312836, Paperback)The only American edition of the cult classic novel. A vicious fifteen-year-old "droog" is the central character of this 1963 classic, whose stark terror was captured in Stanley Kubrick's magnificent film of the same title. In Anthony Burgess's nightmare vision of the future, where criminals take over after dark, the story is told by the central character, Alex, who talks in a brutal invented slang that brilliantly renders his and his friends' social pathology. A Clockwork Orange is a frightening fable about good and evil, and the meaning of human freedom. When the state undertakes to reform Alex—to "redeem" him—the novel asks, "At what cost?" This edition includes the controversial last chapter not published in the first edition and Burgess's introduction "A Clockwork Orange Resucked."(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:58:49 -0400) Told through a central character, Alex, the disturbing novel creates an alarming futuristic vision of violence, high technology, and authoritarianism. A modern classic of youthful violence and social redemption set in a dismal dystopia whereby a juvenile deliquent undergoes state-sponsored psychological rehabilitation for his aberrant behavior.… (more) (summary from another edition) |
