The Umpteen Millionaire Club: Discussion Questions for The Heart of Thomas | |
Written by Kristy Valenti | Filed under Umpteen Millionaire Club, Moto Hagio, manga | 4 Feb 2013 6:56 PM |
[The Umpteen Millionaire Club, our series which puts forth book club discussion questions for Fantagraphics titles, turns its attention to The Heart of Thomas by Moto Hagio. The Comics Journal interns Tom Graham, Nomi Kane and Jack McKean put together this set of questions. – Ed.]
The Heart of Thomas is a manga by Moto Hagio about students in a German boarding school for boys. The boys deal with tragic death, romantic love amongst each other and have more lighthearted concerns about popularity, rumors and cliques.
How does the story address gender conventions or stereotypes?
How do the characters deal with complex emotions that they seem too young to handle, such as unrequited love, intense guilt and/or feeling culpable?
How does the story portray dealing with loss?
Discuss the use of Christian imagery and how it impacts your reading of the story.
Is there abuse going on in this story? If so, how do you respond to the way it's portrayed?
What visual devices does the cartoonist use to indicate narrative techniques such as foreshadowing, symbolism, flashback, etc.?
Discuss Hagio's choice to set the story in Germany. How might it be important (or not?).
The Heart of Thomas was originally published in 1974 and based on a 1964 French movie, which in turn was based on the 1943 semi-autobiographical French novel Les amitiés particulières. How might you read it differently given its historical context? Does this impact your reading of the story?
How do the characters' relationships with their parents figure into the broader story and their personalities and desires?
Does this book have a message? If so, what might its message be?

Reduces the stop time of the blade when the machine is switched off, which enables you to quickly move on to the next job.
Our anti-vibration system reduces vibrations in the cutter handles, so they are more comfortable to hold and can be used for longer periods. To provide the user a comfortable operating position reduced strain, the distance between the handles is large. The handles and the short engine body mean the user always stands close to the machine, for easier handling and control.
Our two-step filtration system with centrifugal cleaning and a single paper filter increases product life and extends service intervals.
Our virtually maintenance free starter, thanks to the dust-sealed starter and the durable starter cord.
EasyStart ensures easier starting by reducing the compression in the cylinder.

Following on the success of the Mini Pump Controller (MPC) KMc Designs is pleased to announce the release of the Pump & Solenoid Controller (PSC).
The PSC is a two channel electronic switch that mounts directly to the back of a 1" air pump. (Caswell GSV2512N12V or similar.) In addition to providing on/off control of that pump the PSC also has a second channel for switching a solenoid valve making it as well suited for RCABS as it is for Snort'ing. No other servos, switches, or control modules required!
The PSC also features a one-touch user programmable fail-safe so "pump", "solenoid", or "all-off" can be commanded in the event of receiver signal loss. Optical isolation and onboard filtering keep noisy motor currents from returning through your receiver and interfering with your signal. The PSC is designed to be powered from 6V-12V. The solenoid control channel can drive a Clippard (or similar) solenoid valve or other loads up to 0.5A.
PSCs will be available through Caswell imminently!

My darling daughter (who is 14) has seen some sort of show and is trying to put it into action. She is wanting to have a pageant for the special needs classes for the 4 local middle and high schools in our county. And instead of having the girls pay to participate, they will instead bring in say 5 canned goods to help out some type of homeless shelter (meals on wheels or something). It will cost parents and friends $5 at the door and all proceeds will go to help the special needs classes. This way 2 organizations benefit from this. She is wanting to get local businesses to donate to help cover cost of tiaras, flowers & sashes. She has most everything planned out. She is meeting with teachers at school to try to get this started so I am crossing my fingers for her. I think it is wonderful that she would try to help other children in this loving way.
But she is trying to bring me in on this and telling me I have to help decorate. I think we can use props from the pageant that was held 2 months ago but if not she says I have to plan to decorate. I don't know how to start on someting like this so any advice would be much appreciated. She says that all the girls are special and will love anything that someone wants to do for them, so I just need to keep things simple. Oh how I love my daughter and her big plans AND her big plans for me. I am praying that her vision and her plans will pay off for her this time. I will keep you all updated as to the outcome on this project.

Very good day today!!! We got approval from the principal for the go ahead on the pageant! So now we are in process of getting a date. This pageant will be for special needs girls from 4 High Schools and 4 Middle Schools in our county. My daughter requested the name which will be Miss Sunshine Pageant. The stage will be mostly navy blue or black props with silver and white stars everywhere. The special need girls will be the sunshine which of course will be brighter than all the stars!! We are working with local organizations to get some sponsors to help out. Now much work for me to do! Any information or suggestions will be much appreciated!! I will send more information when I get it!!

Your daughter is amazing!!! I don't have any advice or suggestions, but will keep her and the pageant in my prayers. If you come up with anything I can do to help you "from afar" shoot me a PM.
Looking forward to hearing how this is progressing.

That's so sweet of your daughter; what a nice project for a teen.
Are you doing the stars? What came to my mind when you said silver and white stars, are the cascading stars on WILD CARD. You could use white cardstock. To get some of the stars silver, then, I would use shadow (not sure you can) or cut the cascade out again in silver. You could cut the silver in sections and glue here and there on the white. Whatever silver parts you didn't use on the first white cascade, you could use on the second white cascade and intermix how you do them. Some could be all white; some all silver, too.
I love to buy the gift bags on sale after the holidays, that have the hologram effects. I buy up a lot of gold and silver ones. Then, I cut the very edges of the folds of the bags, to get sheets of paper. THE PAPER CUTS REALLY GOOD from these bags. I'm sure you can pick them up fairly cheaply, even now. If you do use the paper for the silver, I would cut a cardstock out to glue the silver on, as that would be rather flimsy just to use the paper from the bags.
Those are my thoughts. Good luck in whatever you do; I'm sure it will turn out great.

I have the Wild Card cartridge but didn't even realize that it had cascading stars. I think that would work perfectly. I love the idea of the hologram effect with the gift bags. I have never tried to cut any of those but I think that would work great. Thanks so much for these ideas. I will have to go shopping for some bags next week.
We have a company donating all needed tiaras and another company donating flowers for this pageant. Everything seems to be falling into place. The special needs classes was needing money to help with special olympics that will be coming up, so the money from the pageant will get split between the schools. Hopefully they will have what they need for their special olympics. My daughter has 6 friends helping her out now and they are staying in at lunch and meeting teachers after school. They are all super excited about this.
Some of the teachers would like special needs boys to escort but the girls designing this are thinking that dads or parents would be a better choice for escorts. But they want the special needs boys to help out with brochures, seating, flowers, etc. Mainly because I have had a few parents that request that certain boys do not escort their daughters. I am hoping to get some advice on this that may make everyone happy and also make the boys feel needed and wanted. Thanks for your help.

You can also make crowns, tiaras on Storybook. You can get silver poster board and add rhinestones, cheaper than tiaras thus making the $$$ for costs go further. get em each a feather boa like they carry at Michaels, girls love those things.

What a fab idea. You could print a program so that your sponsors have advertising. You could also sell space to the contestants parents at a nominal fee. The program is a treasure to keep. If you have a small number of candidates, you could make sure that each one is recognized in some way. Best Personality, Prettiest dress, Most likely to have a good time etc.
Be sure to make a backdrop to take photos. A chair with silk flowers and a trellis photographs well and is inexpensive.
The dollar stores have surprises all the time. Dress up stuff, tiaras, septors and silk flowers to name a few.
Can't wait to see what your daughter comes up with.

Sherry - you have a wonderful daughter wanting to take on such a major event at her young age. I commend her and her friends!!! You must be busting at the seams to be so proud of her! I hope your daughter is keeping a picture journal of her school accomplishments which will come in handy when applying for college in later years.
One of my suggestions is to find a printer who would be willing to donate the printing of programs (with their advertisement on it also), or, some high schools may be able to do the printing for this event, although you may have to furnish the paper and do the folding if they don't have a fold machine.
I would have the
proud parents
present their daughter in the pageant. And have the boys as ushers at the main doors handing out the pageant brochures, seating, etc. Maybe some could even help behind the scene, stage hands for props if needed, opening/closing curtain if needed. Maybe they could sell donated bake goods before the program starts to raise even more money.
Another suggestion is: Some florist rent trellis', silk flowers, etc stuff, for weddings at a reasonable cost. Maybe your florist or another would be willing to donate these items, rent free of course for the evening? Again, adding their name as a doner in the brochure. My church put on a vintage wedding gown show one year and had a flowered trellis, greenery, other flower(silk alter type) bouquets and a park bench on stage which was later used for photo taking afterwards. These would work for your pagenant with the stars in background.
Maybe you can get a photographer to donate 1 or 2 photos per girl for a rememberance of the event. I'm sure there are photographers who would be more then happy to put together fee based photo packages for parents.
By all means, don't be afraid to ask for sponsorship. The worse they could say is "not at this time". And you won't know unless you ask!!!
Question - Have the girls picked out a theme name for this pageant yet? Will there be music? Maybe include one of the school bands, band parents always like to go watch their child play in a concert, additional admission $$ there too! Make sure there is media coverage/photographer from local paper, before & during event. Most newspapers have charity event columns where you can post your event for free.
It all can be simple but also elegant but there will also need to be other parent involement, you can't do it alone. My kids are out of school/college and married now with kids, and hubby & I had always volunteered for one thing or another and still involved somewhere, presently 4H. We wouldn't trade that time for anything, and what a feeling knowing we are helping children and hopefully making a difference in someones life.
And one last thing - Be sure you send out thank you's to your donors or maybe you can send a letter to editor (free) thanking donors! Hope this helps a bit and if you need, feel free to pm me.

Ladies thank you all so much for all of your help and suggestions. I wish I could have you all come help me with this. WONDERFUL ideas. But I have to tell you all that I don't know if there will be a pageant right now. The principal at the school gave her permission to get things started and we have a really good start. Until yesterday - 2 adults from the school district came in and spoke with my daughter and her friends. They told her (in a round about way) that this was a waste of time. They said that there is not enough girls in our school district to have something this big. They said that the best thing to do was something small with just the girls at her school or to invite the girls to lunch.
I am sure you all can imagine what I am thinking about this. I would really love to go see them and tell them to kiss where I can't but I have to keep my cool and try to find another way to get around this. My daughter is really upset about all of this and she is trying get all the adults that has any effect on the school district behind her. Not sure what will happen in the meantime but I am sure everything will work out for the best. Thank you all for your support.

Sherry - So sorry to hear that this may not be a go. But accolades to your daughter for her efforts!! Maybe your daughter could get involved or talk with someone from Special Olympics? I'm sure they could use people like your daughter, and by golly this world certainly needs more people like your daughter to make a difference. I wish her the best of luck in all she does in life!!!!

As the mother of a special needs 6 year old girl, I want to thank you and your daughter for doing something so sweet for our special needs children. As far as the school district know-it-all's.....well, I am holding my tongue right now!!! Who are these school district people?? I would go to the next school board meeting for your district and explain your plans that are already in motion. See what the school board thinks! I have no doubt that they would tell you to continue on with your work. I really doubt the pagent has to be for a 'large' group....who cares if it's small. It means the world to those Sp.Needs girls and boys too!!! Don't give up the fight!!! You and your daughter will feel so good about making those special girls feel like a queen for a night!!
Currently, I am LITERALLY working on centerpieces for our annual special needs dinner dance. It really is a big production and last year we had over 600 guests in attendance! We work hard for months before the dance and it always pays off for our kids. Money raised goes directly to our special needs classrooms for expenses not covered by the school district money. Last year's dance profits sent 45 kids to a special needs two night overnight camp!!! They loved it!!! We also have recently purchased two new therapy swings and updated alot of the assistive technologies for 3 classrooms.
I will watch this thread for your updates. I wish you and your daughter well in your planning of a wonderful event for some special young ladies. Continue to follow your heart....and not the politics of the school district!! (hugs)

PhotoPhreak - Wow! What a wonderful job you are doing to help out this great group of kids. It is alot of work to get ready for something like this but I know your efforts pay off. Thank you.
My daughter has been talking with the guy that used to be over special needs in our area and he is trying to help her arrange for a church for that evening. We just have to find enough people willing to help with fundraisers to make this possible. Before we were going to hold events at the school for fundraising purposes and since this won't be going on at the school now then we aren't able to do that. What really frustrates me is that our school USED to have a special needs dance once a year. Well some brilliant person decided that this was not needed anymore and that has been taken away from these kids. My guess would have to be something like "budget cuts". Well it is funny that they are still able to have the 8th grade dance (prom) for the other kids. Anyway we are just praying that somehow something will work out.

Sherry ~ I'm just checking this thread to see how your event is going. I still say take it to the school board. Explaining your event to them, just might make a difference. Explain that you have been told that you cannot hold it at the school because someone told you that it wasn't possible. My thinking is that if they can hold girl/boy scout meetings, PTA meetings, cheering practice, basketball games, Prom dances etc AT the school and AFTER SCHOOL HOURS, then why isn't your function just as important?? It's worth a shot to make your plea before the school board IMHO.
I continue to wish you well and will watch this thread....thinking of you!!! :)

I've been reading your posts too and am so sorry that this is such a struggle. My daughter is a special ed teacher and I've learned over her 10 years just how left out her kids can be. Do you have enough friends, neighbors, family, and student's parents that might write letters in favor of what your daughter is trying to do? I would want to try the school board too and maybe if you had supportive letters, it could help just a bit. I was hoping your daughter could have a positive experience and learn some valuable lessons. Seems the lessons learned will be negative ones. Keep on trying !!! And keep us posted.

Sherry - I'm new to this posting stuff and to the Cricut community, but so glad I found your post! What a star your daughter is - and you also for giving her such support! What a fantastic idea and effort she (and you) are giving to help such a deserving group of young women - who I'm sure are left out quite a bit of the time. I've just read through all the posts through today and am saddened to hear of the District's "talk" and what sure appears to be a lack of encouragement and support on their end. I do hope your daughter will consider either approaching the District at a board meeting [have her tell as many people who are in support/promising donations/lending help of this event she's planning to go support her at the board meeting too!]. If they still say "no", will she consider taking it UP to the next level! I bet a special needs advocacy or support group that can help round up more participants would also love to help out with an idea like this! Just thoughts. Please tell your daughter to not get too discouraged and to remember how much what she has already done means to those she has been trying to help. She is getting a first-hand lesson on advocacy & politics for something she believes in at a level far beyond what the school hallways can provide. Hoping some of the knowledge she gains can be a positive for later use instead of just a bad feeling from a negative experience.
I have a 9-year-old with special needs and was a special ed. teacher before having my son. If we lived in your area we'd be thrilled and proud to help you with your project in whatever way we could! Hopefully we can help in any way via postings!
We'll keep checking back. Keep us posted!

Kudos to your daughter! What a truly wonderful idea. I just logged on for the first time in awhile. It is such a shame how simply two people could ruin something. I also ask who these people are and how they could have so much power over the principle. I agree as well with going to the school board. I am a special education teacher of 18 years. I work in a small district that is housed k-12 in one building. Our high school teacher for years has been having a Christmas shop for all the special education students. People donate new or gently used items and the kids shop for items priced at .25-5.00. They get all their gifts wrapped. The money that is raised from this event is used to throw a simple graduation party at the end of the year for all the special needs children getting their diploma. Your daughter is a small girl with big dreams. She should not give up. I commend her for trying and wish her the best of luck. If you need anything, let me know. Good luck to you!

I've been there.. as a kid and an adult... when people tell you that your idea is "too big" or "too difficult" to pull off. If your daughter and her friends want this bad enough it can happen. And besides... who cares if you only have a few participants?! isn't the point that these students feel recognized and beautiful? If I was in your community, I'd bring my cricut over to help you out in a heartbeat!

text: OVER 50 is a bit hot. You might want to check your fansink to make sure you've got proper contact with the CPU and that it has proper airflow. If you've got both going nicely, your fansink may be inadequate to pull the watts your X2's pumping into the environment to accomplish it's tasks. Most of my machines never QUITE get this hot because I'm using high-performance copper heat sinks and watercooling.

Referendum NOW. Decades late, but better late than never.
Yawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwn! Britain!???..Eh where's that then ED?
Another enlightened comment from the Economist's cosmopolitan readership.
When universal mantra is integration,synergy,co operation, here we have people wanting to run away! Run away from what? Costs?
Many in Asia were quoting EU as the idea whose time had come.But now we have this "In & Out" - God save the queen.
Funny illustration: Britannia ejecting in a wheelchair. Come on, it won't be that bad.
Fight with the Finns, the Dutch, the Germans, Italians and even the Spaniards (which are due to trade and relations with Latin America more and more for free trade) for a competitive EU. But first you have to fight against your own people nationalism. I always marvel at how the British are fascinated by the past. If the Germans think of the Second World War and the past, it is because they never want to be that way again. The British can not stop to look moronic Second World War movies and so on.
And what, south Americans do not even have a history to look back to…believe me, I respect and know very well the British. In 100 years, they will still stand tall. They have a glorious past and it is correct to look back on it.
Also, don't apply your economist-reading arrogance that it is 'just' the british who wish to leave the euro. Tens of millions of my fellow Italian citizens want to take back our country. Maybe we can make a collaboration with the British.
Brits are forever Eurosceptic because they love whingeing which, nowadays is all they have left to do. But Italians are supposed to have a few grammes more of political nous and, therefore, know well that without the EU keeping in check their corrupt practices & vested interests norn out of indolence, they would go the same way as the morning mist.
Britain has a shameful past. They have invaded more nations than the Nazis. Just in India, which was a vibrant manufacturing hub, they occupied a territory ten times bigger than Poland. Millons of foced workers were sent from one Continent to the other (Indians to places like Fiji, Guyana, South Africa..) and millions of African slaves were sent to the Caribean and North America. Aboriginal Australians were decimated and not recognized as equals until a few decades ago. Native Americans were sent to reservations or killed without mercy. They created long term problems in the Mideast and the Indian Subcontinent which have caused several wars. Britain´s past is really shameful.
I can't work out, Mr. Terranera, if you are for or against your homeland. You are a very confused person. It is funny that you talk about a love of whingeing, everything you post is a complaint. Enjoy your retirement more I suggest.
In the age of war and conquest, any country with the resources, manpower and technological level would do the same. Indeed, Mongol Khanates, Darius' Persians and many Arabians did this at a time in which we Europeans were more or less still tribal. So when it became our turn, it was just bad timing because we were the last peoples to do this kind of thing, so people like you think it was 'just' the British who built an empire by force. Memory should last more than 200 years!
Better to stare at your past, accept the bad and be proud of the good, unlike 2012 Germany where they were taught to whimper and hate themselves.
The last ten million Italian communists and unionists?
I might be confused but I see clearly where you come from because, albeit predictably, you turn your response to my comments to a personal context and that reveals your character.
Therefore, sir, you do not merit any further comments from this end.
Sure, I am not a perfect being. Actually I am 20 years old so you should not take what I say so seriously, it is easy to exaggerate oneself here.
But for me, I am happy that you see clearly where I come from. No-one can ever accuse me of dishonesty or betrayal.
Count this Brit in with yourself and any other citizens of the nations of Europe who wish to determine their own destinies.
Not all of us want to order our friends and neighbours about.
More enlightened commentary from our cosmopolitan EU-loving friends. Italians are dismissed as corrupt and indolent. Any more racist remarks you want to make?
Yes, yes. We also abolished slavery, planted the seeds of liberal democracy, industrialisation, and most of what constitutes modern thought.
What exactly did your nation do?
But you, sir, do merit a commentary: government courses for the long term unemployed are still useful for some inexpensive learning. Marking my comments as racist is, I grant you, novel, but you may want to consider if it were really possible. How about "nationalistic"?
You are a monarchy, you have no constitution, you did not concoct existentialism and postmodernism.
I have NEVER thought that it was a good idea for the UK to join the EU, or to stay in it. Wealth is not created by bureacracies and European bureacracies are particularly stifling. And the social policies of many european countries create large deadweight losses for their economies. The humiliation of being dictated to by the EU simply isn't worth any trade losses - not that there should be any in a freely trading world. But it should be up to a referendum, supported with arguments from both sides, to decide the issue.
Britain signed for free trade and (a bit of) food security when it joined the EC in the 1970's. 40 years on, EC has become a political union moving towards establishing the United States of Europe, encompassing monetary, fiscal, economic, legal, educational, and political integration. That is certainly not what Britain had in mind when it first joined EC.
There is no right or wrong in this. Some countries want closer relationship with each other, and some want to stay independent. Are Norway, Switzerland or Iceland better off staying in or out? If everyone else in the club wants to move closer and Britain doesn't want to move in that direction, Britain should probably leave and re-establish a relationship with EU like that of Switzerland or Norway.
"Britain should probably leave and re-establish a relationship with EU like that of Switzerland or Norway"
Don't worry, Britain is exactly going the direction of Switzerland and Norway: being imposed pieces of body of law by Brussels without the option of influencing the process.
Ejecting from a jet has a 1 in 4 chance of head trauma and spinal damage. Be careful.
Yes -- better to go down with the plane.
Well, if the jet is flying over water, 50 seconds after hitting the freezing water, one will be dead of hypothermia.
Who's going to chopper in with the SEALs and lift to whisk Britain off to safety?
Then BIGGER INCOMES .
Digest that .
Right! ...look at the UK economy now, going down the drain, all because of a fiat currency...
I've always told you so, UK should have never converted to the EURO... It's all their fault!
The EU came into being when a bunch farmers got together, things moved on to a common market and the Euro. The next step being central management. The EU's problems came with the Euro a farmers currency made by farmers. The EU's fragile existence is dependent on economics which again is dependent of the sum of many. We have a situation as for example where intelligence quotient (IQ) is taken as the summation of all individual IQ's instead of that of an individual. Erosion has occurred by the rating institutions selling AAA's and thus becoming a measure of fiscal integrity and "lead on the legs of a diver" not taking the social political effect into consideration. The EU as an institution should be measured as a whole in lending , borrowing and debt. The AAA's must disappear with a return to the market with a " shylock pound of flesh" being a well understood language. Britain exit from the EU will not change these basic conditions and is far more for cultural reasons.
I can't see what Britain is complaining about. After all, your mainland neighbours are mostly democratic, with open economy, rule of law, and a single but floating currency.
Our mainland neighbour is a one-party state with fixed currency, rule of man, and a command economy. I'd gladly trade places with you geographically, along with the EU membership.
You can't see what they are complaining about and I can't see what you are commenting about.
Born in Europe and will die in Europe so can keep your own citizenship.
I am commenting about how Britain's relationship with its mainland neighbours today are miles better than Japan's relationship with ITS mainland neighbours.
I think it is pure lunacy to rescind that relationship Britain has with its Mainland today, knowing how bad the relationship could fall to within a generation's time...
The suggestion that we should wait and see before making our position clear: "what kept us out of the euro" reveals why a British exit from the EU is probably now inevitable. It was not joining the euro that has brought Britain to this crisis. Now even if we stay nominally in the EU, the best the "Economist" offers, we will have effectively left our key partners as they deepen the Eurozone. Just "staying in the Single Market" will not save the City. Only expressing a readiness to join the euro at some, not too distant stage will do that. Unless someone makes the case that we should be like Germany and France, not Bulgaria or Roumania, forget it. The game will be over.
Leave the EU and finally the Malvinas will be ours.
Get over it, get a life. And move on.
Never going to happen. Argentina is banging its head against a wall.
Britain's exit from EU seems a disaster for both Britain and EU. without Britain, the recovery of EU economy will suffer longer time. Britain leaves EU during EU tough time obviously is unwise. British need to re-balance its choice for long term consideration. once it exit from EU, Britain can not enjoy existing economic and political benefits, such as free trade, inter countries tourist, ect. Britain, to some degree, threat EU cut budget which failed several days ago in EU Budget Summit. It's a given that the benefit of Britain's export to EU outweigh what Britain ask for in the EUBS. on the other hand, EU should adopt some new regulations to satisfy its members. according to different country's characteristics make different budget regulations. For example, France and Britain should be totally different in Agriculture Industry Budget. All in all, Britain' development in the future depends on EU as EU's progress depends on Britain.
Many Britons seem to view the EU as some sort of European United States which it is not. It's merely a loose economic federation. Britain gains enormously by being a member and probably could not survive otherwise. There is no suggestion that the British should abandon their national identity or throw away a thousand years of being one of the most progresive peoples in the world.
Anyone who denies that the EU aspires to be a political federation like the US really needs to read more.
No, without a common language there will never be a USE like the USA but a full-fledged political federation is in the works.
Denial on the part of europhile Britons is no longer good enough.
Get out of the EU, end the immigration invasion, repatriate past non-Europeans, abolish centralized and fractional reserve banking, allow for Scottish, Welsh and Ulster independence.
Save England now!
And since Britain is at it, quit the Euro that is sinking the economy. It's all Brussels' fault...
What? Britain never joined the Eurozone? Whence the economic crisis then?
UK's economic crisis is complex in detail, but in general outline it is due to too much socialism, plus fallout from the eurozone mess. Even if UK went strict capitalist, they would have a down period, just due to its trading partners' problems.
The argument against EU is a political one. Brussels is an anti-Western, anti-nationalist, socialistic hectoring institution, which does nothing for Britain, and much to it. Getting out of it enhances the long term prospects for the preservation and esp renewal of British freedoms, including sovereign freedom. I want the US to get out of NAFTA and the UN as well (and boot the UN off US soil).
It has been proven General De Gaulle was right with his veto to the U.K. entry.
In historical context, now is really BAD timing for the UK to make any major decisions regarding Europe. After all, the last time Britain made a disastrous and irreparable error in its European policy was in 1938, and the name of the Prime Minister then started with a C and ended with an N too (Chamberlain, instead of Cameron).
That's rather ambiguous. C..n was keen to stay out of a war and told H...r as much. Are you saying that was wrong or right?
The real irony is that, a little over a century ago Britain got involved in a war to save little Belgium (home of the modern-day Eurocrats); and that war opened Pandora's Box in Europe and the world. We are still dealing with the fallout from, and consequences of, that little display of European superiority. And now, Britain might be having second thoughts about the wisdom of having anything to do with anything that has to do with Belgium (Brussels). Oh, the irony is just too rich. This time, though, let the Europeans eat what they have cooked...
2012-1914=98 I'd have put it at a little UNDER a century ago... Otherwise I agree with certain degree of Irony.
@Charles Bonham Davy
In 1938 at Munich, Britain essentially walked away from a European Crisis, and the crisis came back with a vengeance less than a year later. I see the latest attempts at Brixit as the moral equivalent of Munich, walking away from another European crisis...
I'd put it under a century, too, if I could only subtract 1914 from 2012... ;-) One potato, two potato...
Bye, Bye England!!!!
Perhaps Scotland and Northern Ireland would decide to join the E.U. after England leaves.

The Brotherhood of Ruralists Information for researchers and collectors of |
The Brotherhood of Ruralists was a group of artists exhibiting together between 1975 and 2007. Initially the group included Ann Arnold, Graham Arnold, Peter Blake, Jann Haworth, David Inshaw, Annie Ovenden, Graham Ovenden. Blake, Haworth and Inshaw left the group in the early 1980s. The remaining four artists continued to exhibit as a group, actively, for another 20 or so years (and were occasionally joined by Blake and Inshaw). In 2007 a small exhibition of new work and some older chosen pieces was organised at Horsham in Surrey. This was the last exhibition that could be said to have been curated by the group. Subsequent exhibitions, such as the 2008 Ancient Landscapes, Pastoral Visions at Southampton have included their work, ackowledging them as members of the group, and the artists continue to exhibit in solo shows and collaborations. This website was set up, around the year 2000, and has been maintained with the encouragement and approval of the artists, but not managed by them. It originally served as a record of the 30 years that the group exhibited together and as a means of providing information about the current work of the artists. However due to a shortage of time, the website manager is currently unable to maintain the site, so it is temporarily suspended. It is hoped that it will be relaunched at some point. |

An impressive winner in his 2010 debut in the $150,000 Mervyn LeRoy Handicap on May 8, Rail Trip will aim for his fifth victory on Cushion Track in the $150,000 Californian on Saturday at Hollywood Park.
The Californian is the ninth of 10 races. The fourth is the $60,000 Desert Stormer Handicap for older fillies and mares at six furlongs on Cushion Track. Post time is 1 p.m.
Owned by Mace and Samantha Siegel's Jay Em Ess Stable and trained by Ron Elllis, Rail Trip has won four of six – and finished second in his two losses – at Hollywood Park.
A victory against seven opponents in the Grade II at 1 1/8 miles by the gelded son of Jump Start out of the Carson City mare Sweet Trip would make him the first horse to win both the LeRoy and Californian in the same year since Even The Score in 2004.
In his 3 ¼ length win in the LeRoy, a Grade II at 1 1/16 miles, Rail Trip made amends for a defeat in the race the previous year. He was defeated at 3-5 in the 2009 renewal, losing by 1 ¼ lengths to Ball Four.
Similarly, Rail Trip will be trying to improve upon a second place finish in the 2009 Californian. Some 12 months ago, he was beaten three-quarters of a length by Informed.
Rafael Bejarano, who rode the 5-year-old for the first time in the Mervyn LeRoy, has the return engagement. Hollywood Park's leading jockey will be looking for his second win in the Californian in three years. He scored with Heatseeker in 2008.
Rail Trip has won seven of 10 and earned $877,790.
"We're out to avenge those losses,'' said Ellis, who won the 2007 Californian with Buzzards Bay. "He's been awesome since his last race. He's ready to go.''
Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who has never won the Californian, will be represented by a pair – Sangaree and Spurrier.
Second at 16-1 in the Mervyn LeRoy, Sangaree is seeking his first victory in a graded stakes.
Owned by Darley Stable, the 5-year-old Awesome Again horse and the Mari's Book mare Mari's Sheba has won four of 14 while earning $197,110. His last win came in the Joe Hernandez, a race rained off turf, at 6 ½ furlongs on March 7 at Santa Anita.
Idle since finishing last in the March Madness on grass on March 28 at Santa Anita, Spurrier has had success on Cushion Track. The gray son of Dixieland Band and the Valiant Nature mare Humble has won two of three here and was second in his loss.
Owned by Arnold Zetcher, Spurrier has four wins in 21 lifetime starts. He has banked $211,647.
Cigar Man, third in the LeRoy, is looking for his first victory at Hollywood Park. The 5-year-old Drewman gelding out of the Big Bold Sefa mare Foxey's Last Key, has been second or third in his five Inglewood starts.
Owned by Ron Manzani and Russell Sarno and trained by Vladimir Cerin, Cigar Man has won four of 27 while banking $299,219.
The upset winner of the 2008 Swaps Stakes at Hollywood Park, Tres Borrachos finished fourth in the LeRoy. Trained by Beau Greely for a partnership that includes breeders John Greely IV and Phil Houchens, the 5-year-old Ecton Park gelding out of the Peteski mare Pete's Fancy has won five of 25 while earning $602,582.
Slew's Tiznow is another LeRoy participant hoping to fare better in the Californian. The 5-year-old son of Tiznow and the Slewpy mare Hepatica was sixth last month.
Owned by breeder Joseph LaCombe and trained by James Lloyd, Slew's Tiznow has won four of 13, earning $303,100. His only on the board finish in a graded stakes was a second as a 2-year-old in the 2007 Breeders' Futurity at Keeneland.
The day before Zenyatta tries to make history in the $250,000 Vanity Handicap, owners Jerry and Ann Moss, trainer John Shirreffs and jockey Mike Smith will look for an upset with Aitcho.
A 5-year-old Stormy Atlantic horse and the Valid Appeal mare Few Choice Words, Aitcho has won four of 12 and earned $161,100. He has made two appearances in graded races. Neither has gone well. He was last in the 2009 Californian, then was sixth of seven in the grassy Arcadia Handicap on April 3 at Santa Anita.
Aside from Rail Trip, One Track Mind is the only entrant coming off a win. The 5-year-old gelded son of Mach One and the Moscow Ballet mare Bubble Dance held on to win an optional claimer by a nose on May 21. The California bred is owned by Al Aidekman and Bruce Rose and trained by David Bernstein, the winner of the 1994 Californian with The Wicked North.
Claimed for $25,000 by his current connections out of a maiden race at Del Mar on July 31, 2008, One Track Mind has subsequently won six of 13. Three of those victories have occurred at Hollywood Park. Overall, the chestnut is 6-for-17 with earnings of $226,532.
The field for the 57th Californian from the rail out: Aitcho, Mike Smith rides, 116 pounds; Slew's Tiznow, David Flores, 116; One Track Mind, Tyler Baze, 116; Spurrier, Joel Rosario, 116; Cigar Man, Joe Talamo, 116; Sangaree, Martin Garcia, 116; Rail Trip, Rafael Bejarano, 118 and Tres Borrachos, Victor Espinoza, 116.
