Bite marks left in the surfboard of a man mauled by a shark near Esperance show he was most likely attacked by a single great white shark, the Department of Fisheries principal shark scientist has said.
But tests on two white sharks killed after being caught on drum lines set soon after the attack have failed to confirm if either was involved.
Scientist Rory McAuley said the stomachs of the sharks were completely empty except for a piece of bait.
Sean Pollard, 23, lost an arm and his other hand in the attack at Kelpids Beach, Wylie Bay, on Thursday morning.

The carcasses of two great white sharks caught off the coast of Esperance, in southern Western Australia, will be cut open after a surfer was attacked.
Sean Pollard, 23, lost part of an arm and his other hand in the attack at Kelpids Beach, Wylie Bay, on Thursday morning. He remains in Royal Perth Hospital.
Two great white sharks were caught and killed after WA's Department of Fisheries deployed drum lines off the beach following the incident.
The sharks have been taken to Perth by truck for research purposes but the Department of Fisheries has conceded it might not be possible to confirm whether the sharks killed were involved in the attack.

The WA Premier has flagged giving on-the-ground fisheries officers the power to issue kill orders on dangerous sharks, after ruling out deploying baited drum lines this summer.
Topics: shark, animal-attacks, government-and-politics, wa
Posted| Updated
Drum lines will not be deployed off WA beaches this summer after the state's Environmental Protection Authority advised against extending the Government's controversial catch and kill shark policy.
The regulator's chairman, Paul Vogel, said the available information and evidence did not provide the organisation with a high level of confidence.
Following a spate of fatal shark attacks in the state, in January the WA Government introduced a 13-week trial where baited drum lines were set off Perth and South West beaches.
During the trial, which cost the Government $1.3 million, 68 sharks were caught and shot, although none of them were great white sharks.
Premier Colin Barnett said the recommendation meant drum lines would not be in place off the WA coast this summer.

A 50-year-old local man has died after being attacked by a shark while swimming at a beach at Byron Bay in northern New South Wales.
Police said the man's wife was on the beach when he was bitten on the leg about 15 to 20 metres off the shore at Clarkes Beach about 10:45am (AEST).
Beachgoer Mark Hickey pulled him from the water and onlookers unsuccessfully tried to resuscitate the man.
Mr Hickey said he initially thought the attack victim was a turtle.
"Then I looked closer and there was a lot of blood in the water and there was a shark circling, and I recognised that it was a person," he said.

Professional Wine Reviews for Simonsig Pinotage Redhill 2011
Rated 91 by Robert Parker
The 2011 Redhill Pinotage, which produced more than 33% above the previous vintage and saw 15 months in French and American oak (new and used) has an intense dark plum, mulberry and bacon fat scented bouquet that is well defined and displays good vigor. The palate is medium-bodied with smooth tannins, plush dark cherries and prune infused with white pepper and cumin, finishing in seamless fashion. Excellent.

Additional Information on Simonsig Pinotage Redhill 2011
Vintage: 2011
The year 2011 was an interesting year for many northern and central European countries, as the weather was more than unpredictable in the spring and summer. However, in most countries, the climatic conditions thankfully settled down in the late summer and fall. The result of this slightly difficult year of weather in France was a set of surprisingly small yields, but overall, these yields were of a higher quality than those harvested in certain previous years. A fantastic set of wines was also made in Italy and Spain, and the Rioja wines - when released - are set to be very good indeed. Austria also had superb year in 2011, with almost fifty percent more grapes being grown and used for their distinctive Gruner Veltliner wines than in the year before. Possibly the European country which had the finest 2011, though, was Portugal, with wineries in the Douro region claiming this year to be one of the best in decades for the production of Port wine, and the bright, young Vinho Verdes wines. In the New World, the Pacific Northwest saw some of the best weather of 2011, and Washington State and Oregon reportedly had a highly successful year, especially for the cultivation of high quality red wine grapes. Chile and Argentina had a relatively cool year, which certainly helped retain the character of many of their key grape varietals, and should make for some exciting drinking. South Africa had especially good weather for their white wine grape varietals, particularly Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc, and many South African wineries are reporting 2011 as one of their best years in recent memory.
Varietal: Pinotage
In South Africa, the most widely grown red wine grape varietal is undoubtedly the Pinotage, a wonderfully versatile grape which has become something of a flagship varietal for the South African wine industry. It is also grown in several other parts of the world, but to a lesser extent. It is a viticultural cross, brought about be interbreeding Pinot Noir and Cinsaut grapes, and capturing the finer points of both species. Pinotage grapes can be used to make a range of different wines, from fortified and sparkling red wines, to the more commonplace still wines which are enjoyed all over the world. Commonly, Pinotage grapes hold smoky flavors, with dark berry notes and a plummy character, although they also often contain tropical fruit flavors and a range of earthy tones. Pinotage produces dark red grapes, and their strong color is often used for blending purposes.
Region: Coastal Region
The coastal parts of South Africa, and in particular the region around Cape Town, have been important wine regions for a surprising length of time. Indeed, viticulture first began at the tip of the African continent back in the mid 17th century, when European settlers first began experimenting with the cooler and windier terroirs near the ocean, and recognizing the potential the area had for growing grapes of real character and distinction. Those early experiments slowly but surely led to a powerful wine industry, and South African wines became famous throughout Europe for their quality and big, fruity, bold flavors Today, the coastal regions of South Africa produce a huge amount of wine, made in sparkling, still and fortified styles, and utilizing a wide range of grape varietals.
Country: South Africa
Situated on the very tip of the African continent, South Africa has proved itself over three centuries to be an ideal location for producing a wide range of wines. Benefiting from something not dissimilar to a Mediterranean climate, with long, hot summers complemented by both Atlantic and Indian Ocean winds, the grapes which grow on the valleys, mountainsides and plains of this fascinating country can ripen to their fullest capacity, producing wines packed full of fruity flavors and an array of interesting and enticing aromas. As a former colony, South Africa has long since been home to a range of different nationalities, who each brought something of their wine culture with them. As such, many European grape varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Riesling and others have been given time to flourish in South Africa, allowing the country to develop a diverse group of wine types which are proving increasingly popular around the world.

It's Christmas Eve and Disaster has struck the North Pole! An explosion in Santa's Workshop has caused every present
to scatter across the north pole! Play as Santa on his sleigh as you attempt to save Christmas by collecting
all of the fallen presents, avoiding all the innocent and injured (from the disaster) animals and elves in the north pole.
If you collect enough presents, you gain enough Holiday Cheer to rescue some of the injured animals too!
Try to gain as many points as possible and compete with other Holiday Rescuers for the highest score!
However, the icy snow is slippy so you and the reindeer cant slow down, and are speeding up, so be careful!
Try to save as many presents as possible before you crash!
--How To Play--
Touch the screen to scroll through menus. (internet/Wifi needs to be on to check the worldwide global high scores)
When playing, tilt the screen to turn Santa as you ride along the ice.
Avoid riding into injured creatures and objects or you'll crash the sleigh!
Collect the presents by riding into them to gain Holday Cheer. When you have enough holiday cheer,
you can tap the screen to activate Santa's magic. This will allow you to rescue the injured animals and move obstacles
by riding into them, gaining lots of score.
Riding into sheer ice will cause you to spin out of control, while riding into puddles will slow you down helping you.
So simply: tilt the screen to turn. Avoid objects. Hit presents. Activate Holiday Cheer to temporarily fly into everything
to gain points. Ice makes you spin. Snow slows you down.
If you have re-installed the game, it is possible to retrieve your high scores.Simply click the Retrieve Scores button
in the local high score section BEFORE checking the global high scores, to return your scores from the online scores.
Compete with others in the local (only on your phone) and global (everyone thats uploaded their scores) leaderboards!
compete for that top spot! :)
This fun Christmas themed game uses the SplataCat game engine.

New Year Run: Countdown 2015
New Year is very different from Christmas - this time people only want to have fun, to have a drink, to be with their family and friends and to have a party! They want games, fireworks, celebrations, champagne, confettis, trumpets, to collect clover money and a lot other of New Year's accessories - Our friend, the piggy, called New Year only wants to please everybody delivering them all the necessary items to celebrate his festivities. And people pay them with their clover money bringing luck!
The problem is, that our piggy is not only younger than Santa, but a lot more inexperienced, so it's not so easy for him to keep pace in the beginning. But runner apps can be tricky. They appear to be very easy, but in the long run, they are complicated and really hard. All this running and jumping for long minutes or half hours seem to be an honorable effort from anyone. Playing this game is all about fun. There are not many New Year's games around, but they can be hard, and feel complicated - this one is all about fun, snow, gifts clovers and love.
So go to party, get this game and be happy partying more and more privately. Celebrate the New Year with this game, instead of driving a real car or spending a lot of money on other cars. Play this game instead - it's a better and cheaper solution to celebrate, to pour confetti around everybody's necks and to celebrate New Year's Eve with the biggest fun in existence!
There are a lot of Running apps - but there is just one similar like this one - our own Santa Run game. Go celebrating, happy New Year with Piggy Claus, the distant relative of Santa!

Gem Joiner 3D
The aim of the game is to 'match' as many rows or columns of 3 or more of the same coloured gem within the one minute time limit.
To do this, you need to switch the gems places with the gems above, beside, or below them. Simply touch the screen on a gem which you would like to move and slide it over the neighbouring gem and release to switch them!
Switches are only valid if it results in a match of 3 or more in any horizontal or vertical direction.
You cannot match any gems while there are still gems falling however, to give every player a fair chance and to add an extra element of skill to the game!
getting a 'combo' where blocks fall into place to make a new match gives many points!
---NOTE: white tiles randomise all of the gems colours, and gives bonus points!---
If you get many points, you may enter your score into a local high score table (only on your phone/tablet). You may also upload your scores (requires an internet connection) to the global high scores and see how you compare against all the other players in the world!
This game uses Open GL for 3D graphics, and was made so that I could learn how to use those features for university :) Thank you for playing my game!

-several different styles of gem, which can be alternated through during gameplay using a bottom menu button

Mets calling up prospect Rafael Montero, shifting Jenrry Mejia to the bullpen
May 12, 2014, 5:17 PM EDT
General manager Sandy Alderson just announced that 23-year-old pitching prospect Rafael Montero is on his way to New York to join the Mets' rotation for the Subway Series against the Yankees.
He's scheduled to start Wednesday versus Masahiro Tanaka at Citi Field after posting a 3.67 ERA and 41/18 K/BB ratio in 42 innings at Triple-A. While not considered quite an elite prospect because he lacks overpowering raw stuff, Montero was excellent between Double-A and Triple-A last season with a 2.78 ERA and 150/35 K/BB ratio in 155 innings at age 22 and projects as a potential mid-rotation starter long term.
And in a corresponding move the Mets have decided to shift Jenrry Mejia from the rotation to the bullpen after giving the 24-year-old right-hander a grand total of 18 starts spread over parts of four different seasons to "prove" himself as a starter.
Mejia has a 4.75 ERA in those starts, compared to a 3.23 ERA in 32 career relief appearances, so perhaps he's better off in the bullpen, but it would have been nice to see him get a little more of an extended opportunity before the shift to a 70-inning role was made at such a young age.
- DonRSD - May 12, 2014 at 5:36 PM
Liked Mejia.
Make him a closer and call it a day.
- elguapo16 - May 12, 2014 at 5:43 PM
I don't think this is necessarily a permanent move to the bullpen for Mejia. Dude hasn't thrown more than ~100 innings in a season due to injuries so he would have been capped and shut down pretty early this year if he weren't to move to the bullpen.
To that end, I'm ok with this move. Gives him a longer season and serves a team purpose by shoring up an extremely cold, then hot, then really cold again bullpen.
- neoshweaty - May 12, 2014 at 7:51 PM
I'm all for taking the ball out of the hands of Valverde, Farnsworth and Dice-K's hands and putting them into the hands of the younger guys on the squad. The team is headed for another losing season (in all likelihood) and at some point some of these young guys either produce or the team makes a move to replace them.
- primetimewr9 - May 12, 2014 at 5:46 PM
a young prospect gets called up on the day a young Ace hits the DL – Jose Fernandez.

A subscriber network interface device for multiple subscriber pairs at a common location housed internally in a compact connector block easily mounted upon a wall by screws or a known mounting bracket to eliminate the need for installation of separate one or two line network interface devices. Incoming line connection is made using quick clip elements. Outgoing line connection is made via a female connector which is used to communicate with other quick clips. The circuits are latched in actuated state by the application of a 130 volt direct current applied to the tip or ring side of the line.
1. An improved telephone subscriber network interface device for use with multiple subscriber pairs interfaced at a single subscriber location comprising: a generally elongated housing element, a connector supporting wall element disposed upon an outer wall of said housing element; a plurality of elongated connector elements carried by said connecter supporting wall element, each forming an outwardly projecting terminal for the interconnection of incoming and outgoing pairs; said connector elements having elongated pin-like inner terminals; a plurality of planar individual circuit cards, one for each subscriber pair, and a generally U-shaped card guide element having means on one member thereof for engaging and guiding said pin-like terminals, and having oppositely disposed grooves on inner surfaces of a pair of other members of said card guide element for the sliding engagement of individual circuit cards in such manner that such pin-like terminals engage conductive terminals on said circuit cards.
2. A network interface device in accordance with claim 1, further characterized in said individual circuit cards having a selectively operative test circuit thereon, and remotely controlled voltage sensitive means for selectively opening individual related subscriber loops for testing and simultaneously interconnecting said loops in series with a respective test circuit.
3. A network interface device in accordance with claim 2, said plurality of circuit cards including a solid state latching relay and a direct current voltage detector controlling said latching relay to open and close a respective subscriber pair loop.
4. A network interface device in accordance with claim 3, further characterized in the provision of a plug-type connector connected directly to outgoing elongated connector elements.
5. A network interface device in accordance with claim 2, in which said elongated connector elements are in the form of quick clip connectors.
This invention relates generally to the field of telephony, and more particularly to an improved multiple pair network interface device suitable for use in business locations and the like, where an individual subscriber requires a large number of subscriber circuits. Devices of this general type are known in the art, and the invention lies in specific constructional details permitting improved facility in installation and operation.
In typical installations in the prior art, fault detection has been directed to trouble fault isolation capability, or line testing ability, since until relatively recently, it has been commonplace for the telephone operating company to own and service all of the equipment involved. With the present trend toward subscriber ownership of on-premises equipment, there arises the need to provide a demarcation point between the telephone company and the subscriber, and to be able to test for disfunction with a view toward locating whether such disfunction is on the telephone company line or the subscriber owned equipment.
In the present state of the art, it is therefore desirable, at least on new installations, to provide network interface devices which are capable of providing minimum test facility which allows the initiation of testing from the telephone central office. Such means preferably include a compact remotely actuated latching structure which will open the individual subscriber pair at the demarcation point, and isolate the testing facility when testing has been completed.
Briefly stated, the invention contemplates the provision of an improved network interface device capable of interfacing a number of subscriber circuits. Each circuit has a printed circuit card, including a latching device and edge located conductive terminals which connect directly to the inner ends of quick clip terminals connecting the telephone company subscriber lines. A card guide element aligns the interconnecting parts for easy assembly. All of the card guides are mounted in mutually parallel relation in a common housing easily secured to a wall, either directly, or by use of W. E. type 88 mounting housings.
In the drawings, to which reference will be made in the specification, similar reference characters have been employed to designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of an embodiment of the invention.
FIG. 2 is a transverse sectional view thereof as seen from the plane 2--2 in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is an exploded view in perspective of certain of the structure illustrated in FIG. 2.
FIG. 4 is an electrical schematic wiring diagram.
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary enlarged view in perspective corresponding to a left central portion of FIG. 3.
In accordance with the invention, the device, generally indicated by reference character 10, comprises an outer housing element 11 including a base 12 having mounting brackets 13 for securing the same to a mounting surface (not shown). Extending outwardly from the base 12 are side walls 14 and 15, supporting an outer wall 15A, in turn mounting a conductor supporting element 16.
The element 16 is preferably of molded synthetic resinous construction, and incorporates index means 17, as well as a centrally disposed recessed area 19 which mounts a plurality of quick clips 20 of well-known type. The outer ends 21 of the clips 20 may include the usual insulation displacement notches for engaging the ends of incoming subscriber pairs. Others of the clips 20 engage outoing pairs, again, as well known in the art. These clips communicate with a female connector 33 at the inner ends 22 thereof.
Disposed immediately beneath the elements 16 are a plurality of card guide elements 30, which are preferably of molded synthetic resinous construction. Each element 30 includes a top wall 31 having a thickened portion 32 provided with guiding bores 33 which accommodate the inner ends of the clips 20. The wall 31 is supported by side walls 34 and 35 having screw means 36 to secure them to the side walls 14 and 15. The inner surfaces of the walls 34-35 are provided with oppositely facing internal grooves 37 for the slidable engagement of individual circuit board card elements generally indicated by reference character 30.
The card elements 40 are, in essence, miniaturized circuit boards each including a mounting surface 41 and bounded by an upper edge 42, side edges 43 and 44, a lower edge 45, a medial edge 46 bordering a ground terminal 48, and a third side edge 49. The upper edge 42 includes a plurality of edge terminals 50 having resilient clip structure 51 adapted to engage the inner ends 22 of the clips 20. This is facilitated by an edge guide member 52 having corresponding bores 53.
The card elements 40 mount a test circuit 54 (see FIG. 4) normally including a resister and a diode, and interconnected by a solid state latch means 55. An axially oriented ground assembly 58 (FIG. 3) includes a ground bus 59 mounting individual clips 16 which resiliently engage ground terminals 48.
Referring again to FIG. 4, there is illustrated a telephone operating company subscriber pair 64-65 eminating from an existing entry device 66 which determines a demarcation point. An optional customer reset circuit breaker 67 may be provided, and across the line is a direct current voltage detector 68 which operates the latch means 55. Upon operation, both legs 70 and 71 open the subscriber loop and interconnect the test circuit 54 whereby test procedures initiated at the telephone central office may be performed. The devices are activated (latched in until deactivated) by the application of a 130 volt direct current applied on the tip or ring side of the line. Required application time to ensure latching is three seconds at plus 130 volts and five seconds at plus 120 volts. The termination (signature) measurable from the test location with tip and ring normal is 5 megohms minimum. With tip and ring reversed it is 600 Ohms (nominal), because the circuit is polarized due to the action of the diode 76 in series with the resister 75. In FIG. 4, an optional fast volt protection is also provided of known type, and indicated by reference character 78. It includes a pair of Zener diode 79 and 80 and a ground connection 81.
It may thus be seen that we have invented novel and highly useful improvements in subscriber network interface devices in which there has been provided a means whereby not only can testing procedures initiated by the central telephone office be performed, but because of the presence of a voltage-operated solid state latch, the subscriber loop may be opened at a demarcation point so that tests may be performed on that part of the circuit under the jurisdiction of the central telephone office, thus permitting the location of a fault, as well as its nature. When the relay is unlatched, tests may be also performed which extend to the subscriber owned equipment as well. By providing the test circuitry on a small circuit card associated with each individual subscriber pair, installation of the device is a concomitant of installing the subscriber equipment with very little additional labor.
We wish it to be understood that we do not consider the invention limited to the precise details of structure shown and set forth in this specification, for obvious modifications will occur to those skilled in the art to which the invention pertains.

north and south,
This review is from: North and South (Paperback)
Having watched the first episode of the BBC drama I enjoyed it so much that I was compelled to buy the book and read it before the 2nd episode hit the screen. As with many TV adaptations the storyline is altered to please modern day tastes.
However I think that both the book and the series are a must, especially if you are a fan of "pride and Prejudice" as both have very proud strong male and female lead roles.
I only hope the TV series is put onto DVD as this would be another must for the collection.

Ronna LMarylandAge: Over 65Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Love and forgiveness through cooking!!March 30, 2013Ronna LMarylandAge: Over 65Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5What happens to us when someone we love betrays us? Is the "love of your life" also the center of your life? What does it mean to really forgive someone? If we are also ruled by our own self images, and accident or illness changes that image, can we still go on? Can anyone love us again? Or more importantly, can we forgive ourselves and find true love again? Have you ever considered the real source of all love?
These questions are explored in this serious, but extremely fun and enjoyable novel about a young woman who leaves her top chef job in Atlanta, Georgia, to live in her recently deceased uncle's cabin in the hills of North Carolina. After a car accident where Deena is left with disfiguring scars, and a cheating fiancé, who left her for someone else, Deena is ready to leave her old life to "get away from it all", including her many new fears.
The cabin, away from everything and everyone, sounds like the perfect answer, but her uncle's will stipulated that Deena must teach cooking to a group of middle-schoolers in the local church for six months, if she is to continue to own his cabin. She also meets a friendly mentally retarded 'wise' man, a group of abused and neglected children, a handsome social worker, and a slew of her father's relatives who envelop Deena into their close knit family and community.
Deena's cooking classes require her to get involved. This story beautifully shows that forgiveness is something we do for ourselves, and that real love and friendship comes from our own choices and trust in God. A lovely, truthful and uplifting story!! Fun, quick, thoughtful, read!!

In this thesis, the three hypotheses on the nature of early L2 acquisition (the Full Transfer/Full Access view of Schwartz and Sprouse (e.g., 1996), the Minimal Trees view of Vainikka and Young-Scholten (e.g., 1996), and the Valueless Features view of Eubank (e.g., 1996)), are discussed. Analysis of the early French production by two native speakers of Moroccan Arabic is done to determine if the L1 grammar is transferred onto the L2 grammar. In particular, the phenomena of verb-raising (as determined by the verb's position vis-a-vis negation) and finiteness are examined. The results of this study indicate that the relevant structures of Moroccan Arabic do not transfer onto the emerging French grammar.
Corporate Christians and Terrible Turks: Economics, Aesthetics, and the Representation of Empire in the Early British Travel Narrative, 1630 - 17802008-02-15T14:58:44-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4444/

This dissertation examines the evolution of the early English travel narrative as it relates to the development and application of mercantilist economic practices, theories of aesthetic representation, and discourses of gender and narrative authority. I attempt to redress an imbalance in critical work on pre-colonialism and colonialism, which has tended to focus either on the Renaissance, as exemplified by the works of critics such as Stephen Greenblatt and John Gillies, or on the later eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, as in the work of scholars such as Srinivas Aravamudan and Edward Said. This critical gap has left early travel narratives by Sir Francis Moore, Jonathan Harris, Penelope Aubin, and others largely neglected. These early writers, I argue, adapted the conventions of the travel narrative while relying on the authority of contemporary commercial practices. The early English travelers modified contemporary conventions of aesthetic representation by formulating their descriptions of non-European cultures in terms of the economic and political conventions and rivalries of the early eighteenth century. Early English travel literature, I demonstrate, functioned as a politically motivated medium that served both as a marker of authenticity, justifying the colonial and imperial ventures that would flourish in the nineteenth century, and as a forum for experimentation with English notions of gender and narrative authority.

Female Inheritors of Hawthorne's New England Literary Tradition2014-03-26T09:30:20-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc279406/

Nineteenth-century women were a mainstay in the New England literary tradition, both as readers and authors. Indeed, women were a large part of a growing reading public, a public that distanced itself from Puritanism and developed an appetite for novels and magazine short stories. It was a culture that survived in spite of patriarchal domination of the female in social and literary status. This dissertation is a study of selected works from Nathaniel Hawthorne, Sarah Orne Jewett, and Mary E. Wilkins Freeman that show their fiction as a protest against a patriarchal society. The premise of this study is based on analyzing these works from a protest (not necessarily a feminist) view, which leads to these conclusions: rejection of the male suitor and of marriage was a protest against patriarchal institutions that purposely restricted females from realizing their potential. Furthermore, it is often the case that industrialism and abuses of male authority in selected works by Jewett and Freeman are symbols of male-driven forces that oppose the autonomy of the female. Thus my argument is that protest fiction of the nineteenth century quietly promulgates an agenda of independence for the female. It is an agenda that encourages the woman to operate beyond standard stereotypes furthered by patriarchal attitudes. I assert that Jewett and Freeman are, in fact, inheritors of Hawthorne's literary tradition, which spawned the first fully-developed, independent American heroine: Hester Prynne.
Iconoclast in the mirror.2008-02-15T16:21:29-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4822/

This work explores identity positions of speakers in modern and contemporary poetry with respect to themes of subjectivity, self-awareness, lyricism, heteroglossia, and social contextualization, from perspectives including Bakhtinian, queer, feminist and postructuralist theories, and Peircian semiotics. Tony Hoagland, W.H. Auden, Adrienne Rich, and the poetic prose of Hélène Cixous provide textual examples of an evolving aesthetic in which the poet's self and world comprise multiple dynamic, open relationships supplanting one in which simple correspondences between signifiers and signifieds define selves isolated from the world. Hypertext and polyamory serve as useful analogies to the semantic eros characteristic of such poetry, including the collection of original poems that the critical portion of this thesis introduces.
John Graves and the Pastoral Tradition2007-09-25T22:35:02-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2919/

John Graves's creative non-fiction has earned him respect in Texas letters as a seminal writer but scarce critical commentary of his work outside the region. Ecological criticism examines how language, culture and the land interact, providing a context in which to discuss Graves in relation to the southwestern literary tradition of J. Frank Dobie, Walter P. Webb, and Roy Bedichek, to southern pastoral in the Virgilian mode, and to American nature writing. Graves's rhetorical strategies, including his appropriation of form, his non-polemical voice, his experimentation with narrative persona, and his utilization of traditional tropes of metaphor, metonymy, and irony, establish him as a conservative and Romantic writer of place concerned with the friction between traditional agrarian values and the demands of late-twentieth-century urban/technological existence. Sequentially, Graves's three main booksGoodbye to a River (1960), Hard Scrabble (1974), and From a Limestone Ledge (1980)represent a movement from the pastoral mode of the outward journey and return to the more domestic world of georgic, from the mode of leisure and contemplation to the demands and rewards of hard work and ownership. As such they represent not only progression or maturation in the arc of the narrator's life but a desire to reconcile ideological poles first examined so long ago in Virgil: leisure and work, freedom and responsibility, rural and urban values.
Symbolism in Six Works of Joseph Conrad2012-04-23T22:13:18-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc83642/

Stretched Out on Her Grave: Pathological Attitudes Toward Death in British Fiction 1788-19092008-02-15T14:54:57-06:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4271/

Nineteenth-century British fiction is often dismissed as necrophillic or obsessed with death. While the label of necrophilia is an apt description of the fetishistic representations of dead women prevalent at the end of the century, it is too narrow to fit literature produced earlier in the century. This is not to say that abnormal attitudes toward death are only a feature of the late nineteenth century. In fact, pathological attitudes toward death abound in the literature, but the relationship between the deceased and the survivor is not always sexual in nature. Rather, there is a clear shift in attitudes, from the chaste death fantasy, or attraction to the idea of death, prevalent in Gothic works, to the destructive, stagnant mourning visible in mid-century texts, and culminating in the perverse sexualization of dead women at the turn of the century. This literary shift is most likely attributable to the concurrent changes in attitudes toward sex and death. As sex became more acceptable, more public, via the channels of scientific discourse, death became a less acceptable idea. This "denial of death" is a direct reaction to the religious uncertainties brought about by industrialization. As scientists and industrialists uncovered increasing evidence against a literal interpretation of the Bible, more people began to doubt the nature of God and the existence of an afterlife. If there was no God, then there was no heaven, which raised questions about what happened to the soul after death. With the certainty of an afterlife gone, death became mysterious, something to fear, and the passing of loved ones was doubly-mourned as their fate was now uncertain.
Stretched Out On Her Grave: The Evolution of a Perversion2007-09-25T21:07:11-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2586/

The word "necrophilia" brings a particular definition readily to mind that of an act of sexual intercourse with a corpse, probably a female corpse at that. But the definition of the word did not always have this connotation; quite literally the word means "love of the dead," or "a morbid attraction to death." An examination of nineteenth-century literature reveals a gradual change in relationships between the living and the dead, culminating in the sexualized representation of corpses at the close of the century. The works examined for necrophilic content are: Mary Wollstonecrafts Mary, A Fiction, Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, Emily Brontës Wuthering Heights, and Bram Stokers Dracula and The Jewel of Seven Stars.
Pragmatism as the Religion of Defoe2012-10-12T10:26:10-05:00http://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc107948/

This study attempts to resolve the question of Defoe's sincerity through examination of his life, his journalistic writings, and his major works or imagination.
