by Adams, Henry
Publisher:Wadsworth Publishing
Many great artists have had at least intermittent doubts about their own abilities. But The Education of Henry Adams is surely one of the few masterpieces to issue directly from a raging inferiority complex. The author, to be sure, had bigger shoes to fill than most of us. Both his grandfather and great-grandfather were U.S. presidents. His father, a relative underachiever, scraped by as a member of Congress and ambassador to the Court of St. James. But young Henry, born in Boston in 1838, was destined for a walk-on role in his nation's history--and seemed alarmingly aware of the fact from the time he was an adolescent.
It gets worse. For the author could neither match his exalted ancestors nor dismiss them as dusty relics--he was an Adams, after all, formed from the same 18th-century clay. "The atmosphere of education in which he lived was colonial," we are told,
revolutionary, almost Cromwellian, as though he were steeped, from his greatest grandmother's birth, in the odor of political crime. Resistance to something was the law of New England nature; the boy looked out on the world with the instinct of resistance; for numberless generations his predecessors had viewed the world chiefly as a thing to be reformed, filled with evil forces to be abolished, and they saw no reason to suppose that they had wholly succeeded in the abolition; the duty was unchanged.Here, as always, Adams tells his story in a third-person voice that can seem almost extraplanetary in its detachment. Yet there's also an undercurrent of melancholy and amusement--and wonder at the specific details of what was already a lost world.
Continuing his uphill conquest of the learning curve, Adams attended Harvard, which didn't do much for him. ("The chief wonder of education is that it does not ruin everybody concerned in it, teachers and taught.") Then, after a beer-and-sausage-scented spell as a graduate student in Berlin, he followed his father to Washington, D.C., in 1860. There he might have remained--bogged down in "the same rude colony ... camped in the same forest, with the same unfinished Greek temples for workrooms, and sloughs for roads"--had not the Civil War sent Adams p�re et fils to London. Henry sat on the sidelines throughout the conflict, serving as his father's private secretary and anxiously negotiating the minefields of English society. He then returned home and commenced a long career as a journalist, historian, novelist, and peripheral participant in the political process--a kind of mouthpiece for what remained of the New England conscience.
He was not, by any measure but his own, a failure. And the proof of the pudding is The Education of Henry Adams itself, which remains among the oddest and most enlightening books in American literature. It contains thousands of memorable one-liners about politics, morality, culture, and transatlantic relations: "The American mind exasperated the European as a buzz-saw might exasperate a pine forest." There are astonishing glimpses of the high and mighty: "He saw a long, awkward figure; a plain, ploughed face; a mind, absent in part, and in part evidently worried by white kid gloves; features that expressed neither self-satisfaction nor any other familiar Americanism..." (That would be Abraham Lincoln; the "melancholy function" his Inaugural Ball.) But most of all, Adams's book is a brilliant account of how his own sensibility came to be. A literary landmark from the moment it first appeared, the Autobiography confers upon its author precisely that prize he felt had always eluded him: success. --James Marcus

Rockies aim to leave Philadelphia with split
Bettis looking for first win on road against Phils' Kendrick
The last time the Rockies split a road series, they were just 4 1/2 games back in the division, the Dodgers' run still in its infancy as they crept up on the National League-West leading D-backs.
But much can change over five-plus weeks, and the Rockies will have a chance to earn their first split away from Coors Field in their fourth and final game against the Phillies on Thursday at Citizens Bank Park. Colorado nearly secured that split Wednesday night before the Phillies rallied with a two-run ninth to grab a 4-3 win and keep the Rockies from taking the series.
Interim Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg will tab Kyle Kendrick (10-10, 4.36 ERA) for the series finale as the righty tries to earn his first victory since Aug. 6. Kendrick has struggled to find a consistent rhythm for much of the season, often following up strong starts with disappointing ones.
Kendrick was more than effective in his most recent start, allowing two runs (one earned) in six innings Saturday in a loss to the Dodgers, giving him another chance to buck that trend Thursday.
"I battled, gave us a quality outing and a chance to win; that's all you can ask," Kendrick said following the loss. "Against a guy like [Clayton Kershaw], he's pretty good, obviously. You just try to keep the game close."
It would not take much to improve on Kendrick's one start against Colorado this year, when he surrendered seven runs and two home runs in a June 14 no-decision.
This time, Kendrick will face a Rockies offense missing one of its most potent bats in left fielder Carlos Gonzalez, who is still on the disabled list. But even without Gonzalez, the Rockies' 24 runs in six games have already passed their run total from their disastrous 1-9 road trip earlier this month.
Chad Bettis (0-2, 5.30) will make his fifth career start behind Colorado as he still tries to prove he is ready for the big leagues. After a steady six-inning, two-run start Aug. 11, Bettis allowed eight runs -- only two of them earned -- and walked four over 2 2/3 innings against the Orioles.
"It was really embarrassing," Bettis said. "I've got a lot to learn. I felt like my stuff today was probably the best it's been. But then also it was moving too much. I've got a lot to learn from this start. That's all I've got to take from it, just move forward."
Rockies: Rosario still mashing
Wilin Rosario made sure he got his hitting streak out of the way early in Wednesday night's loss, smashing a solo homer in the second inning to extend his career-high streak to 12 games.
Since the streak began Aug. 1, Rosario has four home runs and 15 RBIs with a .353 average. He also has five multihit games since the hitting streak -- the second-longest active run in the Majors -- began.
While the streak may stand as the highlight of Rosario's season, he was certainly not slumping before August rolled around. Over his last 46 games, Rosario is hitting .330 with 12 doubles, eight homers and 35 RBIs.
Phillies: Bernadina acquired from Nationals
Looking to add an extra spark to their lineup, the Phillies signed free agent Roger Bernadina on Wednesday.
The Nationals released Bernadina on Monday after he hit just .178 in 85 games. But Bernadina, who flied out in his lone plate appearance as a pinch-hitter Wednesday night, showed he could be an offensive weapon last year, when he hit .291 while driving in 25 runs and stealing 15 bases.
To make rom for Bernadina, Philadelphia optioned utilityman Michael Martinez to Triple-A Lehigh Valley.
Worth noting
• Three of the first four starts of Bettis' career have come on the road, where he is 0-2 with a 6.39 ERA. He has never faced the Phillies.
• The Phils are 29-9 (.763) in the regular season against Colorado since 2008, their best record against any club over that stretch.
• The Phillies' bullpen has a 2.33 ERA over its last nine games, one of the league's lowest over that stretch.
• Rockies center fielder Dexter Fowler is 3-for-8 with two doubles and two walks against Kendrick.

The vehicle battery is connected to the fuse box via a heavy duty cable. It has been determined that the cable connection at the fuse box can degrade over time, resulting in increased electrical resistance. This increased resistance can cause the connection point to overheat and break, resulting in a loss of electrical power and causing the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the positive battery cable connector and secure it with an improved method to correct this concern.

One of the best names in the world. This name means "pure" in Greek. Most Kathryns are beautiful, trustworthy, and over all great. They are humble about this, but they do love attention sometimes. They are great friends and since they are trustworthy, you can tell them all your secrets and problems. Kathryns are just great people in general. They are usually weird, but awesome at the same time. Nicknames are Kat, Kathy, and Kath.
Example 1: Boy 1: Hey I'm gonna go ask Kathryn out on a date. She's just so great!
Boy 2: Not if I get there first!
Example 2: Girl 1- I feel really horrible and I need someone to tell my problems...
Girl 2- Talk to Kathryn, she really listens and understands.

Dear KosherEye Readers,
Passover is a time to break out of the traditional, and set your artistic talents free right onto your holiday table. Of course our traditional Seder gives us such a sense of comfort, but nothing is more liberating than seeing a bit of your creative side displayed fabulously on your Seder table for all of your guests to enjoy. Here at The Jewish Hostess, I get so inspired by the hundreds of women from all over the world that share their Jewish holiday table creation pictures. Enjoy and be inspired by these original ideas sent in by Jewish Hostess readers.
10 Ways to Think Out of The Seder Plate and Create Your Own Fresh Holiday Table Style
1. Create your own Passover place cards! Shop HERE, and find some extra Passover clipart images from HERE. Photo by Kim Dabah
2. Get into the holiday theme by sprinkling mini animals and frogs in unexpected places. Check out this bag of Passover Frogs from Amazon. Photo Frogs Here, Frogs There- What a Fun Seder Table! by Jewish Hostess Sara Kasten.
3. Avoid the mess of passing the seder items around the entire table, and place a mini ke'arah in a small salad plate in front of each guest. This makes the kids feel especially important. Photo by Jewish Hostess- Sarah Mamiye
4. Another chic idea- take out those champagne and flute glasses that are very bored just hanging around your cabinets and place bitter herbs, celery, into them. Pass around on a tray to all of your guests. Idea by Jewish Hostess-Alexis Mizrahi
5. You can also use a bento box as an individual seder plate. So cool! Idea by Jewish Hostess Claudia Bildirici.
6. Make gorgeous Pesach decorated eggs. HERE's HOW- Photo by Jewish Hostess April Adams.
7. This Jewish Hostess table was sent in by Shelly Anteby who used a scarf as a table runner and wood from home depot as a base for her leopard fabric. I love the hot pink and summer green combo! Amazing! Remember to use some of these ideas for Shabbat or any special occasion!
8. Last year for Purim, I bought an inexpensive fabric and cut it as a diamond overlay over a white hemstitch table cloth. Why not purchase a bright RED runner or overlay to symbolize Makat DAM? (the plague of blood) Here's another RED inspiration for Passover by Jewish Hostess Kim Dabah. Kim used gorgeous red roses, red linen napkins and red dishes as an easy yet powerful accent to her elegant table setting.
9. Paper napkins can be chic! Here's how. I folded these clothlike napkins and made my own napkin rings in 10 minutes or less!
About The Author
Marlene Mamiye is the creator of the popular website, The Jewish Hostess. She has always been intrigued by the stories of Syrian Jewish grandmothers who made the most of what they had transforming the cheapest cuts of meat and passed-their-prime breads and vegetables into memorable dishes and spent three years producing a documentary about the history of the Syrian Jewish community. Her work on the documentary was the inspiration for The Jewish Hostess website.

For embedded applications, the new platform also includes support for DirectX 11.1, OpenGL 4.2x and OpenCL 1.2 that enables parallel processing and high-performance graphics processing, yielding up to a 20 percent graphics improvement over the previous AMD Embedded G-Series APU and greater than 5x advantage over Intel Atom when running multiple industry-standard graphics-intensive benchmarks.
Models available at launch range from $49-$72 and include:
- GX-420CA SOC with AMD Radeon HD 8400E Graphics
- Quad-core, 25W TDP, CPU freq. 2.0GHz, GPU freq. 600MHz
- GX-415GA SOC with AMD Radeon HD 8330E Graphics
- Quad-core, 15W TDP, CPU freq. 1.50GHz, GPU freq. 500MHz

"We have built a treasure trove of industry-leading IP in processors, graphics and multimedia along with the infrastructure to combine these building blocks into unsurpassed embedded SOC solutions," said Arun Iyengar, vice president and general manager, AMD Embedded Solutions. "With a 33 percent smaller footprint4, low power consumption and exceptional performance, the new AMD Embedded G-Series SOC sets the bar for content-rich multimedia and traditional workload processing that is ideal for a broad variety of embedded applications."

As a first time viewer I can say the quality of the drawing is remarkable :D
Also as a first time viewer, I can say that I just got a page of fight sounds and shadowy figures xD
Btw, your tweet about comics taking 2seconds to read was heartbreaking.

Plain and simple is sometimes what is needed Sometimes - oftentimes - people need plain rugs of one basic color. Rug companies seem to have forgotten this. If you have a small space and/or furniture with an obvious pattern, then the rug on the floor cannot be competing with a striking pattern of its own. This is a decent rug - it is not thick or luxurious - it is tufted wool of a solid medium brown (no fakey abrash streaks or color variations). Actually, the fact that it is not too thick is a good thing - it lays flat on the floor and ties the room together with no raised edge to trip over. We, the people, need more plain rugs like this in many, many more colors!

Brown wool rug This rug arrived on time and though the color was beautiful, I had a difficult time making it fit in with the rest of my décor. I have to make slide part of it under the bed to offset too much brown. I might even have to add an Asian mat to offset the color. Our bedroom is Japanese-themed and there will be a huge platform bed, espresso in color so I need it to mesh well with this dark bed that is only 11" off the floor. The CONS: The problem with this rug that made it less than ideal was the size. It was not 5x7, if was way off, much shorter. So, if you truly need a perfect 5x7, this is not the rug for you. Also, so far, the rug is buckled on one side- all the way to the middle. I'm not sure if it will lay flat, ever. I'm glad it will remain in our bedroom, because I don't want anyone tripping over it. Overall, its a good rug, it should be cheaper in price, though. The PROS: Soft nice pile, rich brown color, no shedding, whatsoever. And, best of all, my pug's hair does not stick to it.

Great rug The brown color is exactly what is shown and quality was surprisingly very good. After unrolling you could see the folds because the roll had got a bit flattened in spite of the hard cardboard cylinder in the center. The folds flattened out completely after a few days. Edges are good and it complements the living room colors beautifully. Looks great on hardwood floors and feels firm and soft. All in all a great buy!

Does anyone know if you can set up reminders for the to do list so that you get a reminder twice a day? I know you can set it up for one time, but I'd like to get reminded twice a day ( eg in the morning then again early afternoon as a further prompt )
Posted at 9:05pm on August 12, 2013
Hi dwi807,It's not possible to set up multiple daily/timed reminders; sorry for the inconvenience.What may work depending on the specifics of what you're looking for is to combine daily and timed reminders: for example, you could receive your daily reminder of what's ahead in the morning, and then later in the afternoon get your timed reminder for the tasks you haven't yet completed.Hope this helps somewhat!

The Suite Life of Zack & Cody alum Brenda Song is moving into New Girl, Entertainment Weekly reports.
Song, 24, who also starred on the Disney Channel series spin-off The Suite Life on Deck, has been cast as a new love interest for Winston (Lamorne Morris). She will play Daisy, an extremely competitive and high-strung woman who detests quitters and who takes a liking to Winston after seeing him strike out with Holly (upcoming guest star Brooklyn Decker). Sounds like Daisy will be a nice (read: lively) change of pace from Winston's last girlfriend, the soft-spoken, pun-loving Shelby.
Exclusive New Girl video: Nick is weirded out by his stripper girlfriend
After back-to-back Disney Channel show stints, Song co-starred in The Social Network as the intense girlfriend of Eduardo Saverin. She most recently recurred on Scandal as David Rosen's assistant.
