The Death of the Hired Man
Robert Frost
Mary sat musing on the lamp-flame at the table,
Waiting for Warren. When she heard his step,
She ran on tiptoe down the darkened passage
To meet him in the doorway with the news
And put him on his guard. "Silas is back." 5
She pushed him outward with her through the door
And shut it after her. "Be kind," she said.
She took the market things from Warren's arms
And set them on the porch, then drew him down
To sit beside her on the wooden steps. 10
"When was I ever anything but kind to him?
But I'll not have the fellow back," he said.
"I told him so last haying, didn't I?
If he left then, I said, that ended it.
What good is he? Who else will harbor him 15
At his age for the little he can do?
What help he is there's no depending on.
Off he goes always when I need him most.
He thinks he ought to earn a little pay,
Enough at least to buy tobacco with, 20
So he won't have to beg and be beholden.
'All right,' I say, 'I can't afford to pay
Any fixed wages, though I wish I could.'
'Someone else can.' 'Then someone else will have to.'
I shouldn't mind his bettering himself 25
If that was what it was. You can be certain,
When he begins like that, there's someone at him
Trying to coax him off with pocket money—
In haying time, when any help is scarce.
In winter he comes back to us. I'm done." 30
"Sh! not so loud: He'll hear you," Mary said.
"I want him to: He'll have to soon or late."
"He's worn out. He's asleep beside the stove.
When I came up from Rowe's I found him here,
Huddled against the barn door fast asleep, 35
A miserable sight, and frightening, too—
You needn't smile—I didn't recognize him—
I wasn't looking for him—and he's changed.
Wait till you see."
"Where did you say he'd been?"
"He didn't say. I dragged him to the house, 40
And gave him tea and tried to make him smoke.
I tried to make him talk about his travels.
Nothing would do: He just kept nodding off."
"What did he say? Did he say anything?"
"But little."
"Anything? Mary, confess 45
He said he'd come to ditch the meadow for me."
"But did he? I just want to know."
"Of course he did. What would you have him say?
Surely you wouldn't grudge the poor old man
Some humble way to save his self-respect. 50
He added, if you really care to know,
He meant to clear the upper pasture, too.
That sounds like something you have heard before?
Warren, I wish you could have heard the way
He jumbled everything. I stopped to look 55
Two or three times—he made me feel so queer—
To see if he was talking in his sleep.
He ran on° Harold Wilson—you remember—
The boy you had in haying four years since.
He's finished school, and teaching in his college. 60
Silas declares you'll have to get him back.
He says they two will make a team for work:
Between them they will lay this farm as smooth!
The way he mixed that in with other things.
He thinks young Wilson a likely lad, though daft 65
On education—you know how they fought
All through July under the blazing sun,
Silas up on the cart to build the load,
Harold along beside to pitch it on."
"Yes, I took care to keep well out of earshot." 70
"Well, those days trouble Silas like a dream.
You wouldn't think they would. How some things linger!
Harold's young college-boy's assurance piqued him.
After so many years he still keeps finding
Good arguments he sees he might have used. 75
I sympathize. I know just how it feels
To think of the right thing to say too late.
Harold's associated in his mind with Latin.
He asked me what I thought of Harold's saying
He studied Latin, like the violin, 80
Because he liked it—that an argument!
He said he couldn't make the boy believe
He could find water with a hazel prong—
Which showed how much good school had ever done him.
He wanted to go over that. But most of all 85
He thinks if he could have another chance
To teach him how to build a load of hay——"
"I know, that's Silas' one accomplishment.
He bundles every forkful in its place,
And tags and numbers it for future reference, 90
So he can find and easily dislodge it
In the unloading. Silas does that well.
He takes it out in bunches like big birds' nests.
You never see him standing on the hay
He's trying to lift, straining to lift himself." 95
"He thinks if he could teach him that, he'd be
Some good perhaps to someone in the world.
He hates to see a boy the fool of books.
Poor Silas, so concerned for other folk,
And nothing to look backward to with pride, 100
And nothing to look forward to with hope,
So now and never any different."
Part of a moon was falling down the west,
Dragging the whole sky with it to the hills.
Its light poured softly in her lap. She saw it 105
And spread her apron to it. She put out her hand
Among the harplike morning-glory strings,
Taut with the dew from garden bed to eaves,
As if she played unheard some tenderness
That wrought° on him beside her in the night. 110
"Warren," she said, "he has come home to die:
You needn't be afraid he'll leave you this time."
"Home," he mocked gently.
"Yes, what else but home?
It all depends on what you mean by home.
Of course he's nothing to us, any more
Than was the hound that came a stranger to us 115
Out of the woods, worn out upon the trail."
"Home is the place where, when you have to go there,
They have to take you in."
"I should have called it
Something you somehow haven't to deserve." 120
Warren leaned out and took a step or two,
Picked up a little stick, and brought it back
And broke it in his hand and tossed it by.
"Silas has better claim on us you think
Than on his brother? Thirteen little miles 125
As the road winds would bring him to his door.
Silas has walked that far no doubt today.
Why doesn't he go there? His brother's rich,
A somebody—director in the bank."
"He never told us that."
"We know it, though." 130
"I think his brother ought to help, of course.
I'll see to that if there is need. He ought of right
To take him in, and might be willing to—
He may be better than appearances.
But have some pity on Silas. Do you think 135
If he had any pride in claiming kin
Or anything he looked for from his brother,
He'd keep so still about him all this time?"
"I wonder what's between them."
"I can tell you.
Silas is what he is—we wouldn't mind him— 140
But just the kind that kinsfolk can't abide.
He never did a thing so very bad.
He don't know why he isn't quite as good
As anybody. Worthless though he is,
He won't be made ashamed to please his brother." 145
"I can't think Si ever hurt anyone."
"No, but he hurt my heart the way he lay
And rolled his old head on that sharp-edged chair-back.
He wouldn't let me put him on the lounge.
You must go in and see what you can do. 150
I made the bed up for him there tonight.
You'll be surprised at him—how much he's broken.
His working days are done; I'm sure of it."
"I'd not be in a hurry to say that."
"I haven't been. Go, look, see for yourself. 155
But, Warren, please remember how it is:
He's come to help you ditch the meadow.
He has a plan. You mustn't laugh at him.
He may not speak of it, and then he may.
I'll sit and see if that small sailing cloud 160
Will hit or miss the moon."
It hit the moon.
Then there were three there, making a dim row,
The moon, the little silver cloud, and she.
Warren returned—too soon, it seemed to her—
Slipped to her side, caught up her hand and waited. 165
"Warren?" she questioned.
"Dead," was all he answered.
Making Meanings
The Death of the Hired Man
1. How did you feel about each of the three characters in this poem?
2. Based on their dialogue, what inferences can you make about the relationship between Warren and Mary, and about how each relates to Silas?
3. Describe the basic problem facing Warren, Mary, and Silas. Some might say that Mary sees Silas as a hired man in an emotional sense, Warren in a work sense. Do you agree? Explain.
4. Identify the details in lines 103–110 that create a vivid image of the setting. What does this passage tell us about Mary's character?
5. Does the conclusion of this poem strike you as inevitable? Why or why not? What would your feelings have been if Warren, instead of answering "Dead" to Mary's question, had answered "Asleep," or "Sharpening his scythe"?
6. Find the two definitions of "home" offered in the poem. One critic has said that one definition is based on law and duty, the other definition on mercy. Identify each. Do you agree with the critic's observation? Which definition do you favor?
7. In Primary Sources for "Design", Frost says he aimed to give the speech of each character in his poetry a distinct sound, just as people's voices sound different in real life. Does he successfully differentiate Warren's and Mary's speech? Explain.
8. State in your own words the poem's message. How would the message apply to the problem of homelessness in our society today?
1. Collecting Ideas for an Analysis of Causes and Effects
Jot down your own list of speculative questions suggested by the Frost poems you have read. Why is the speaker so appalled at he sight he sees in "Design"? Why are the people in "Neither Out Far Nor In Deep" looking out to sea? What motivated Silas in "The Death of the Hired Man" to come back to Warren and Mary?
2. Frost Bites
The critic Louise Bogan pointed out the "tensions, dark conflicts, and passionate involvements" that appear in Frost's poetry and "pervade certain poems with almost nightmare intensity." In a brief essay, explore examples of the "dark conflicts" in Frost's poetry. What does Frost share with the Dark Romantics (page 213)? Witn what sense do Frost's poems have "bite"?
3. Accident or Design?
In a brief essay, compare and contrast "Design" and Emily Dickinson's poem "apparently with no surprise" (page 385).
4. Updated "Hired Man"
In a poem, narrative, or screenplay, set "The Death of the Hired Man" in contemporary surroundings with up-to-date characters. You might set the story in a city, in a rural area, in a suburb , on a modern-day farm, or in a migrant worker camp. Be sure to include dialogue, conflict, and resolution in your story.
5. Reading Nature
The Puritans and later the Romantics "read" lessons into nature. Lead a class discussion about whether or not Frost's poems "Design" and "Birches" are part of this same tradition. discuss whether Frost is more like the Puritans or the Romantics in his attitude.
6. Dark Design
Create a collage that captures some of the central themes and images that you feel sum up Frost's poetry. In choosing appropriate visuals, consider similes, metaphors, and images from the Frost poems you have read. write a brief explanation of the thought that went behind each image you chose.
7. Frost Three Ways
Choose several Frost poems from this collection or from a book of Frost's poetry, and select music and works of art that relate to the poems' themes, images, and tones. Prepare slides, video, or overhead transparencies to show your accompany visuals, and a play record music (or perform your own compositions) as you read aloud Frost's poems, creating your own multimedia presentation.

BRONX, N.Y.—Entering Tuesday night's matchup between the No. 21/22 Harvard men's basketball team and Fordham, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that co-captain Keith Wright would notch the eight points he needed to reach 1,000 for his career.
After all, Wright, who had scored in double figures in 35 of the Crimson's past 43 games heading into Thursday night, was set to face a Fordham defense that isn't exactly know for its stinginess.
And early on, it looked as if Wright was well on his way to becoming just the 27th player in program history to join the 1,000-point club.
With 2:48 to play in the first half, Wright scored his fifth and sixth points of the game, finishing a layup off a Brandyn Curry pass to put Harvard ahead by six. Then, just seconds before the end of the first half, Wright was fed in the post again. He made a move toward the basket and tossed a shot at the rim as he was fouled, but the ball went in and out, and the senior was forced to earn his points at the line.
Wright sunk the first, but his second attempt missed, and he went into the locker room one point shy of 1,000.
It took him 18 minutes and 56 seconds to pick up that final point.
After going 3-for-3 from the field in the first half, Wright did not register a shot attempt in the entire second period and finished the game with three shots, a season-low. It was not until a late free throw that Wright picked up his eighth—and final—point of the night.
"They were playing zone, so part of that is it's tough to get the ball inside," Harvard coach Tommy Amaker said. "He could have taken more shots than three. It's not just about us getting him the ball. We've got to be able to see if there are ways that he can get it off the backboard or get to the foul line."
Getting Wright going offensively has been key to the Crimson's success. So far this season, Harvard is 8-0 when the co-captain reaches double figures. When he is held to under 10 points, the Crimson is 4-2.
Amaker often remarks that the Crimson's offensive strength lies in its ability to play inside-out. If opponents focus too much on defending Wright in the post, Harvard can swing it to an open shooter on the perimeter. And if opponents extend their defense to get out on the Crimson's shooters, Harvard can dump it out down to Wright and let the big man go to work.
On most nights, if one half of the Harvard offense is faltering, the other half picks up the slack. That wasn't the case Thursday.
While Wright was ineffective against a tough Fordham zone defense, the Crimson's shooters had even greater struggles, as the team went 20-of-55 from the field and 8-of-30 from beyond the arc.
"Certainly our shooting percentage was horrific," said Amaker, whose team had its worst shooting performance since playing Florida State in November. "No matter what you do, if you can't throw it in the ocean sitting out on the row boat, it's not going to look like you're prepared for anything."
Despite taking a season-high 30 three-point attempts—nearly double its average of 17.8 attempts per game—the Crimson was not unhappy with its shot selection.

Meaning & Origins
Contracted form of Latin Maria Magdalene (see Madeleine). The name is of German origin, but is now also widely used in the English-speaking world, normally in a pronunciation with two syllables (compare Arlene and Charlene). Probably the first, and certainly the most famous, bearer of the name was the film star Marlene Dietrich (1901–92), who was born Marie Magdalene. The name was further popularized in the 1940s by the wartime German song 'Lili Marlene', which was immensely popular among both German and British troops in North Africa.

CCS Bard Hessel Museum of Art Presents CLAP on View March 27–May 22, 2011
Opening Reception March 27, 1– 4PM
Mark Primoff
ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NY — This spring, the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard College (CCS Bard) presents CLAP in the Hessel Museum of Art. Featuring more than 60 works from the Marieluise Hessel Collection, greatly expanded since the inauguration of the Hessel Museum in 2006, the exhibition includes many recent acquisitions on view for the first time. These include major new works by John Bock, Cosima Von Bonin, Paul Chan, Charline Von Heyl, William Pope.L, and Ryan Trecartin.
An opening reception for the exhibition will be held on Sunday, March 27, from 1– 4 pm. Carolee Schneemann will orchestrate a "language activation" at 3 p.m. during the reception.
Curated by CCS Bard graduate students Nova Benway, Michelle Hyun, Nathan Lee and Dylan Peet, in collaboration with CCS Bard executive director Tom Eccles, CLAP takes the opportunity afforded by the display of new acquisitions to rethink some of the common narratives that have accrued around the Hessel collection. The curators have also commissioned a new work by Tony Oursler for this exhibition.
The title of the exhibition takes its inspiration from minimalist composer Steve Reich's Clapping Music, 1972, an audio work in the Hessel Collection. Clapping Music is an early example and innovation of "phasing," in which repetitive patterns or phrases of music fall in and out of unison with each other based on the subtle shift of one note. The physical gesture of the clap, meaningless in and of itself, produces a sound that becomes meaningful in context. This exhibition sets the stage for artworks to resonate in polyphonic ways — to clash, clang, jar against each other, and even occasionally harmonize. Rather than seeking to draw out the inner psychological life of artworks, CLAP asks what we can discern from their outsides — and what they can find in each other. Interpretation here becomes a byproduct, rather than a starting point: looking to gestures instead of identities, connections rather than histories, encounters versus explanations—the exhibition is less about applause, rather it brings things together, making noise.
CLAP includes work by:
Rita Ackermann, Nicolas Africano, Janine Antoni, Ida Applebroog, Siah Armajani, John Baldessari, Georg Baselitz, Joseph Beuys, Bik Van der Pol, John Bock, Cosima von Bonin, Richard Bosman, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Roger Brown, Michael Buthe, Paul Chan,
Liz Deschenes, Roe Ethridge, Tony Feher, Saul Fletcher, Robert Gober, Félix González-Torres, Wade Guyton, Mona Hatoum, Eberhard Havekost, Richard Hawkins, Charline von Heyl, Jim Hodges, Rebecca Horn, Alfredo Jaar, Neil Jenney, Joan Jonas, On Kawara, Jannis Kounellis, Sean Landers, Robert Mapplethorpe, Christian Marclay, Virgil Marti, Paul McCarthy, Allan McCollum, Mario Merz, Bruce Nauman, Gabriel Orozco, Tony Oursler, Giulio Paolini, Raymond Pettibon, William Pope.L, Lisi Raskin, Steve Reich, Jason Rhoades, Aïda Ruilova, Carolee Schneemann, David Shrigley, Lorna Simpson, Ryan Trecartin, Nicola Tyson, Kara Walker, Lawrence Weiner, Mark Winetrout, and Andrea Zittel.

Jim Bunning got away with blocking an extension of unemployment benefits and COBRA on Thursday night because "coordinated support materialized" among Republicans to help Bunning in his cause, Sen. Jeff Merkley explained in a conference call this morning.
Merkley (D-OR), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Jack Reed (D-RI) participated in the call, about the urgent need to pass an extension of unemployment benefits and the 65% COBRA subsidy, which will run out for hundreds of thousands of Americans on Sunday. Bunning (R-KY) waged what amounted to a one-man filibuster at the end of the week, refusing unanimous consent to move to a short-term extension of benefits before the deadline. Bunning wanted the package of extensions to be paid for, but when Harry Reid offered Bunning an amendment to that effect, he said he wouldn't accept that because the amendment wouldn't pass. (Really.)
All three Senators, whose states are experiencing high unemployment rates, expressed outrage at Bunning's action, discussing the real-world consequences for their constituents. Stabenow said that 62,000 Michiganders would lose their unemployment benefits on Sunday, and by the end of March, across the country 1.2 million would lose them if no action was taken. Furthermore, almost half of those now receiving unemployment benefits are getting them through some form of extension, so the result of inaction could be catastrophic.
Reed added that historically, whenever the unemployment rate exceeded 7.4%, Congress has always extended benefits, and that such extensions generally create $2 in the economy for every $1 spent (you could say that they pay for themselves, which was Bunning's entire objection). Merkley noted the expense to state unemployment agencies to send out notices to shut down benefits, only to start them up again if they are extended. "The Republican filibuster is irresponsible," he said. "Republicans didn't filibuster to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy, but when families are struggling, they take this outrageous action."
I asked the Senators why they didn't continue asking for unanimous consent agreements on Thursday night, forcing Bunning to stay on the floor and continue his crusade. He was already getting belligerent, and could have just faded through the exhaustion of an all-night filibuster, but the Senate adjourned around midnight. Many Senate observers have described this as letting Bunning win.
Sen. Merkley, the only one of the three who was on the floor that night, responded. "When it was Bunning by himself, the prospect of breaking him was very real," he said. "But when coordinated support materialized, it became clear we weren't going to be able to overcome this on the floor." In other words, other Republican Senators stopped by on the floor in reserve, and if Bunning could no longer continue, they stood ready to step in and object to any unanimous consent agreement. Obviously, UC agreements require… unanimous consent, so any Senator can block them. Merkley identified Bob Corker (R-TN) as one of the Senators who reached the floor late at night, and Stabenow added that Jeff Sessions (R-AL) showed up earlier in the evening.
"The most important thing is the people impacted," Stabenow said, "But on the process, Bunning was concerned about paying for the extension, he was offered an amendment and he didn't accept it. In the Senate we've seen a hijacking of the legislative process. In a legislature you debate a policy and then you vote. Voting is the American way. Instead, Bunning chose to use the filibuster in blocking and hijacking the system."
You can argue that the Senate used bad time management in not giving enough space to file cloture and getting a vote to override Bunning with a short-term extension of what would expire, not just unemployment benefits and the COBRA subsidy but also the Medicare doctors fix and some other matters. But if Republicans were prepared to switch off in objecting to UC requests, then they could have held out at least until the Sunday deadline, it seems.
Therefore it's wrong to call this Jim Bunning's filibuster. It was a Republican filibuster, as they offered "passive support," as Stabenow put it. "We're going to see benefits run out on Sunday" as a result, she concluded. "Where is the Republican leadership? Where will it be next week?"

CPR and First Aid Training
The main project for this section of Duke Red Cross is to provide CPR and First Aid training to students as well as Durham workers. Students in this committee have the opportunity to enroll in a CPR/First Aid instructor training course which certifies them to teach certification classes of their own. Utilizing this our committee aims to offer such certification classes at an affordable price to workers in the Durham community who would otherwise not be able to afford such a class and who could greatly benefit (i.e. increased job offers) through this certification. In addition this training is employed to promote CPR/First-Aid training abroad and a program is being established to offer after-school CPR training to high school students.

Fundraising under way for new CCCC program
Central Carolina Community College is expanding its course offerings, having recently opened a new health sciences building in Lillington and looking into new classes on operating machinery for hydraulic fracturing and other types of drilling.
It's also looking to expand its enrollment by getting more high school students in Lee, Chatham and Harnett counties to take advantage of free tuition for those and other courses the college offers. But to do so, college officials and private supporters say, it needs about $750,000 over the next two years to establish a foundation of specialized advisors in every public high school in the area.
About $250,000 of that total either has been or will be raised through grants, officials have said. They plan on raising the remaining half a million through donations from the private sector as well as the three county governments in the college's service area. And Kirk Bradley, the Sanford businessman who is leading the fundraising efforts for the Central Carolina Works program, said they're well on their way.
"I'd say we're about 75 to 80 percent done with that," Bradley said. "Really, I'd say 75 percent because some of the commitments haven't been fully funded — they're working it up their chains. Like with corporate donors."
It's not all businesses and private individuals, though. The Chatham County Board of Commissioners recently approved $50,000 for the program, and the Harnett County Board of Commissioners will discuss the issue at its Jan. 6 meeting.
"Indications are we've got support in Harnett County for the program, and we hope they'll contribute," Julian Philpott, chairman of the CCCC Board of Trustees, said. "And we hope the Lee County commissioners will contribute to this program, which we feel will be a huge success."
Jim Burgin, a Harnett County commissioner who previously was chairman of the board, also serves on the CCCC board.
Lee County won't be officially taking the matter up for at least a few months, however. After a new Republican majority took control last year, the board made its funding process for local non-profits stricter, cutting that budget and asking that all monetary requests come via a formal application in the spring during the county's budget session.
"If they're going to provide a valuable service to the county that we aren't already providing, and the commissioners agree, then it would be approved," Commissioner Jim Womack, a Republican who has been involved in discussions about Central Carolina Works, said earlier this month.
Bradley noted that like the Lee County Commissioners, the Chatham and Harnett boards are led by a conservative majority. But Chatham approved the spending unanimously, and he said he has high hopes for similar votes of confidence from both Harnett and Lee counties — even if there are questions and concerns.
"There were some concerns (among the Chatham County Commissioners)," Bradley said. "... They had some specific provisions they wanted to focus on in terms of workforce development."
But he said CCCC President Bud Marchant and other college officials gave them a more-than-satisfactory answer, leading to the unanimous approval of $50,000 — and he's hoping to keep the streak alive. Bradley said with holiday travel as well as the upcoming Harnett County meeting, he hasn't had the chance to speak recently with any Lee County leaders who have voiced concerns, but that it's on his to-do list.
Philpott said the success of the much-lauded apprenticeship program between the college, Caterpillar and Lee County Schools has given CCCC a good reputation among local businesses. With the addition of this dual-enrollment advising program, he said, the college can help even more local businesses, as well as families, by providing tuition-free courses. It could even end up a business incentive in and of itself, he said.
"Ultimately, with this program, we're looking at it as a magnet for pulling in prospective employers," Philpott said. "It's going to be a win for the students, a win for the employers and a win for all three counties."

Market Force just completed a consumer study of social media usage. Not surprisingly, every year we've looked at usage we've seen the numbers going up. About half say they 'like' to use social media. Fifteen percent say they LOVE it. But 7% think it's a necessary evil.
In our work with restaurant organizations, I suspect if I were to ask them to tell me honestly, many restaurants would fall in this 'necessary evil' camp. But one thing jumped off the page to me when I looked through our findings. When it comes to interacting with restaurants in social media, consumers overwhelmingly use their facebook pages and other social media outlets in a positive way. Check this out:
If that isn't incentive to jump online, I'm not sure what is.
The big fear, of course, is that someone will go on to rant about a negative experience. There are effective ways to handle that circumstance. We work with a number of clients to help them monitor online chatter, and if there is a consumer issue, invite them to give us feedback in a secure website. Those same people are then empowered to 'make things right,' whether with a coupon, a note from the staff, or escalating it for restaurant management to address.
Social media is not a necessary evil. It's a new, and often cost effective means to interact with your consumers and get them into your locations. Jump on in!

No flavor in the lo mein. Pork fried rice was ok. I had to drown it in soy sauce and duck sauce. Left the Lo Mein for hubby. I like my Lo Mein with a char grilled flavor not just boiled and left bland. No more orders from me.

When considering a quick delivery of a favorite Asian dish, this is the place I call. The staff is friendly and quickly take care of you and even making suggestions from time to time. Not the greatest, but for the money it is a great tasty value.
Posted by jschelsea on 01/31/2013
The service rating was above zero only because the woman who took my order on the phone was nice. But, the delivery guy was not. He called demanding we meet him somewhere other than our delivery address. We said no. He shows up finally, gives us our food and then on his way out blows his nose out all over our gallery steps. EW! Once we start eating (after a thorough hand washing) the food is luke warm and has no flavor other than perhaps a manufactured "chinese food flavoring" that cannot be identified. My lo mein noodles were over white rice. How can white rice be so bad?! After a few bites of each dish, we tossed the food and placed an order from our reliable old standby, Bottino. Seriously, stay far far away from Golden Wok.
Posted by Billyboy on 01/20/2013
This is our " go to" take out when we want classic Chinese food. We've tried them all. Golden Wok never disappoints.
Posted by Patricia on 11/07/2012
My go to fast food Chinese spot. Wonton Soup is amazing. Lunch specials are always spot on. Delicious, hot & FAST! Highly recommended!
Posted by Teebs on 06/28/2012
By far the best quick and easy chinese food in chelsea. I can't really complain about any item. For the more westernized, try the chicken nuggets - best I've ever had. Only complaint is that they do not take credit card and are not on delivery.com or seamlessweb.
Posted by Tort on 05/09/2012
It's your basic Chinese take out joint. Very low prices. Low brow American style Chinese food that tastes fine. I can't speak to the quality of the ingredients (it's not organic if that's what you're looking for), but I haven't had any issues or weird meat. I have been ordering from this place for years and they are consistently good. Never had a problem with the delivery guys. I am glad they are in our neighborhood.

Barhite: Roadside memorials break the law, but help mend heartsWritten by Brandi Barhite | Community Ombudsman | email@example.com
Wooden crosses in the grassy median mark the scene of a wrong-way car accident that killed three Bowling Green State University sorority sisters March 2.
This Interstate 75 memorial is one of the most recent to surface, but it is certainly not the only one in the area.
One well-kept memorial is for a Toledo mother and her unborn son who died as result of injuries from a 2009 accident on the Anthony Wayne Trail.
It is easy to understand why family and friends want the memorial. It is a way to remember a loved one, it is a way to mourn the loss and it is a way to make sure no one ever forgets that the accident occurred there.
But while it is a common practice, it is also a balancing act: protecting drivers from the possible distraction of a memorial, while also honoring the family's desire for the memorial. It is almost impossible to pick a side.
Theresa Pollick, spokeswoman for the Ohio Department of Transportation District 3, said the placement of signs in state highway rights of way is prohibited by state law, although she understands the emotions involved with such a policy.
The right of way is controlled for the safety of drivers, she wrote in an email. Highway workers performing maintenance or construction have the right to remove memorials at any time.
"We understand the desire for people to memorialize the place where a loved one was killed, but the last thing we want is for an accident to occur when someone stops or they cause a distraction," she said.
When and if ODOT is contacted about memorials, it offers the option of participating in the adopt- a-highway program.
By participating, ODOT will place bidirectional highway sign in recognition at the section that is adopted.
Volunteer groups adopt a 2-mile section or an interchange along a state route, U.S. route or interstate, Pollick said. Groups adopt for two years, and ODOT provides training, trash bags and disposable vests.
City of Toledo spokeswoman Jen Sorgenfrei said city crews occasionally remove memorials that are considered to be an encroachment on public property or obstructing the public right of way.
However, city crews try to give mourners a chance to take it down first so they can keep sentimental items or move the memorial to private property.
"This can often be accomplished by driving by the site and talking to some of the people who are there adding to the memorial or paying tribute. If a memorial is on private property we do not remove it," she wrote in an email.
Sounds like both the city and the state understand that roadside memorials should involve plenty of compromise so no one has to pick a side.

The 26-year-old midfielder has been linked with a move away from Lazio this summer after producing a series of impressive performances in Serie A last season.
Napoli have been credited with an interest, while speculation had suggested that Manchester United may turn their attention to Candreva after missing out on Thiago Alcantara to Bayern Munich.
However, Lazio have insisted they have no intention of losing any of their key players, as they look to go into the new campaign with a stronger squad than last term.
Asked about Candreva at a press conference, Lotito said: "He's not for sale.
"Napoli? They have never called me, but if they do, I'd say he's not for sale."
Lotito added: "Lazio are the only club who have bought players without selling.
"We wanted to strengthen the team again. I can also say that we have achieved all the market targets we had."

This Linhof Technika is a 1930s-40s era press camera. It comes with a Carl Zeiss 100mm f2.8 Planar lens. Cosmetically the camera is really nice, but it does have some issues with the shutter and rangefinder.
This Graflex Crown Graphic is a 4x5 large format camera. It is from the late 1950s. Another cosmetically nice camera, but it is being sold as is due to cracking in the rangefinder housing.
This classic Rollei 3.5 T twin lens reflex camera features a gray leather finish, and is cosmetically nice overall. It is being sold as is because the film winding system is not working properly.
This Yashica Electro 35 is a rangefinder camera from the 1960s era. It comes with a Yashica case, and shows normal signs of use. It is being sold as is due to the shutter speeds being off.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Great story. full of tragedy, hope and betrayal. A little gloomy throughout but still a good read.
The overall ideas of Oliver Twist are intriguing, but the antisemitism and sometimes overlong style made it a slog to get through at some points. Also, most of these people are either terrible or not focused on enough.
This book is about a hard-working orphan in New England named Oliver Twist. In the story, he travels from workhouse to workhouse, and finally he escapes to London. Later, he kidnapped by a group of bad guys who try to steal handkerchiefs from rich people. One day, Oliver goes with the bad guys, and finds out that they are trying to steal things. Then, Oliver ends up with a man who is very nice to him and takes care of him. But later on, they spilt up again and find each other and capture the bad guys.
I like this book because it is about an orphan who takes a risk to explore the world beyond him to seek for a place to belong with.
كتب كتاب "أوليفر تويست" بأسلوب شائق وبسياق أدبي مميز، مليء بالمفاجآت والمغامرات التي تشد القارئ إلى متابعة سير أحداثها بشوق وشغف. فهي تحكي قصة "أوليفر تويست" الطفل الصغير الذي عاش ضحية مجتمعه الفاسد، فكافح المصاعب، وتحمل المشقات، ولكن القدر كان أقوى منه فأوقعه في أيدي جماعة من اللصوص لتستخدمه في تحقيق أغراضها الشريرة، ولكن الخير أقوى من الشر، ولا بد لهذا الصغير أن يتحرر وينتصر على المؤتمرات ليستقبل من جديد الحياة بوجه جديد، وإرادة صلبة، ليعيش حرا
There were parts of this book that I really enjoyed. In the latter chapters, the action picked up and Dickens did a great job of keeping the intensity up and leading the reader along, something I imagine would be especially important for a book published in episodes.
I also liked how innocent Oliver was, always trying to do the right thing despite the circumstances. He seemed a little too good to be true, but I liked him so much, I didn't mind that he was a bit unbelievable. He just had so much spirit.
One thing I don't quite understand in a lot of these 19th-century books is how easily people fall ill. Emotional strain or just a walk in the cold can put them into fits or lay them low with a life-threatening fever. Were people back then really that delicate, or were the pathogens present in 19th-century London just so dangerous and ready to pounce that people were always a head cold away from death? What were these mysterious fevers people were always getting?
The most unpleasant part about the book is Dickens's insistence on referring to Fagin primarily as "The Jew". According to the notes at the end of my version, Dickens responded to critics who claimed his portrayal of Fagin was anti-Semitic by saying that at the time the story took place, most of those in Fagin's line of work were Jews. I don't know if this is true or not, but the way that he calls him "The Jew" at least as often as he calls him by name suggests that he's actually saying he's in that line of work because he's Jewish, which is a very different thing than just saying he's in that line of work and happens to be Jewish.
In addition, there's a scene in which Oliver sees Fagin and shouts, "The Jew! The Jew!" It seemed strange to me that Oliver would have referred to him like that because I thought other characters generally referred to Fagin by name, and Oliver would have done the same.
And then there's the way that Dickens time and again describes Fagin in ways that suggest he's less than human, like in chapter 47 when Dickens says that Fagin "disclosed among his toothless gums a few such fangs as should have been a dog's or rat's." I don't recall Dickens comparing other non-Jewish characters to animals in this way.
I also considered the possibility that Dickens was just writing about Fagin as the culture at the time would have seen him, but I could buy this notion a lot better if these nasty things were said only by other characters in the story, but by and large, it's not other characters who are saying these things; it's our narrator (whom I read as Dickens). All of this suggests to me that Dickens's portrayal of Fagin wasn't merely a reflection of the demographics of a particular type of criminal in London at that time but truly was (and is) anti-Semitic.
But aside from this admittedly very large part of the book, I enjoyed the story. I nearly always enjoy Dickens's dark storytelling and psychologically tormented characters, and I find the female characters in his book refreshingly strong-willed (refreshing because not every strong-willed woman is punished for it (though most of them are)).
Oliver Twist, a meek, mild young boy, is born in the workhouse and spends his early years there until, finding the audacity to ask for more food, he is made to leave. Apprenticed to an undertaker by Mr Bumble, Oliver runs away in desperation and falls in with Fagin and his gang of thieves where he begins his new life in the criminal underworld.
Under the tutelage of the satanic Fagin, the brutal Bill Sikes and the wily Artful Dodger, Oliver learns to survive, although he is destined not to stay with Fagin but to find his own place in the world.
With its terrifying evocation of the hypocrisy of the wealthy and the depths to which poverty pushes the human spirit, Oliver Twist is both a fascinating examination of evil and a poignant moving novel for all times.

The story of the orphan Oliver, who runs away from the workhouse only to be taken in by a den of thieves, shocked readers when it was first published. Dickens's tale of childhood innocence beset by evil depicts the dark criminal underworld of a London peopled by vivid and memorable characters—the arch-villain Fagin, the artful Dodger, the menacing Bill Sikes and the prostitute Nancy. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:12:01 -0400)
Scathing in its indictment of a cruel society and pervaded by a sense of threat and mystery, this novel is peopled with some of the most famous characters in literature. Elements of the Gothic Romance jostle with those of the Newgate novel and popular melodrama forging a style entirely Dickens'.… (more)

2014 Kinfolk Celebration
Twelve years since the inaugural Kinfolk Celebration danced and smiled its way across the Planet Bluegrass Ranch, Yonder Mountain String Band's annual celebration of community, camping, and musical mania is returning home to Lyons, CO.
For two glorious September days, we will bask in the waning summer sun, rest our feet next to the St. Vrain River, and take one final summery gasp of mountain air alongside a few thousand of our closest Kinfolk.
The Sounds of Kinfolk
The hometown boys of Yonder Mountain will headline the main stage each evening with inspired, epic sets (featuring special guests: John Bell of Widespread Panic on Friday; Jason Carter & Ronnie McCoury on Saturday, and Allie Kral and Jake Jolliff as full-time guests both nights).
|Planet Bluegrass & the St. Vrain Cliffs

Each afternoon close musical kin of Yonder Mountain will create their own musical frenzy including Drew Emmitt & Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon, John Bell of Widespread Panic, The Travelin' McCourys, Head for the Hills, The Haunted Windchimes, and Gipsy Moon. We will boogie, we will shine, we will share in something unforgettable.
The Kinfolk Experience
The Kinfolk Celebration is much more than a concert. Arrive in Lyons early to setup camp under the Cottonwoods of the Planet Bluegrass campground or beneath the dramatic red rock cliffs of nearby Meadow Park. Swap stories with your camp neighbors. Take a refreshing dip in the St. Vrain River.

Grab dinner inside the festival grounds from several local food vendors. Share New Belgium beers and handmade cocktails with kinfolk from across the country. Then lose yourself in the music from the hallowed Planet Bluegrass stage, reverberating off the cliffs of the St. Vrain River.
In the mornings, collect a few kinfolk for a hike or mountain bike in one of Lyons' acclaimed parks and open spaces. Then explore the small mountain town of Lyons (population 2,000) home to a lively community of artists and musicians which inspired NPR's All Things Considered to call Lyons "the Nashville of the Rockies."
Mabon Concert
|Adam & Ben in the Wildflower Pavilion

Since 2007, Adam Aijala and Ben Kaufmann of Yonder Mountain have been celebrating the Mabon (the autumnal equinox) with an intimate show in the Wildflower Pavilion on Planet Bluegrass. Lest this cherished tradition disappear, they have decided to perform a special Mabon show in the Wildflower Pavilion on Thursday evening (September 18) specially for kinfolk in the onsite campground.
No additional tickets will be sold to this Mabon Concert to the general public, so be sure to purchase onsite camping passes to share in this intimate Kinfolk Celebration kick-off on Thursday evening.
Welcome Home
After the historic Lyons flood of September 2013, the Kinfolk Celebration marks the triumphant return of the Planet Bluegrass Ranch.
|Planet Bluegrass Ranch

Where just a year ago the Ranch was devastated by the raging waters of the St. Vrain, the 2014 Kinfolk Celebration is the ultimate homecoming celebration for kinfolk and Festivarians alike.
Yonder Mountain will be hosting a silent auction to benefit Conscious Alliance, including memorabilia from the band, photographs by the very talented Brian Spady, limited edition canvases, and other specialty items. Proceeds from the silent auction will benefit Conscious Alliance and their ongoing hunger relief and youth empowerment efforts.
Wherever your travels take you this summer, the Kinfolk Celebration is your destination. Colorado is calling. We can't wait to welcome you home.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the 2014 Kinfolk Celebration such a magical final weekend on Planet Bluegrass. Connect with your fellow Kinfolk on the Festivarian Forum.

I Think I Love My Wife
A successful investment banker with a beautiful, intelligent wife and two gorgeous kids at home, Richard Cooper (Chris Rock) would seem to have it all. Between the daily commute from the suburbs to New York City, the endless business meetings, the kids' diapers, and the Wiggles on TV, however, there's only one thing on Richard's mind: women. The women he sees on the commuter train in the morning, the women who walk the streets of Manhattan, the women he fantasizes about in order to alleviate the boredom of his mundane, routine life.
Happily married to Brenda (Gina Torres), Richard has no intention of cheating, until an old friend, the stunning Nikki (Kerry Washington), appears at Richard's office door, asking for help in landing a job. During lulls in his workday, Richard starts to meet Nikki for late lunches, and the banker's conventional life begins to turn upside down.

This month marks AnOther's collaboration with Tommy Hilfiger, to celebrate the launch of the brand's Surf Shack collection. Highlighting great surfers, we remember Eddie Aikau, the first official lifeguard for the North Shore of Hawaii. A true legend in his field, during his tenure he made 500 rescues with complete success, being crowned lifeguard of the year in 1971, the same year that he placed 12th in the world surfing rankings. To celebrate his feats of courage and heroism, Hawaiian: The Legend of Eddie Aikau, a documentary film chronicling the life of the late surfer premieres this week.
Aikau's clothing has become synonymous with surfer style, and is copied the world over. He wore simple printed beach shorts and bright t-shirts, paired with floral garlands, rope necklaces and eccentric headwear atop his trademark unruly hair. Despite being known as quiet and reserved, his influence spread beyond his strength in the waves; onshore he was rarely seen without a guitar, and he played a significant role in the Hawaiian music scene of the 1970s.
"Eddie wore simple printed beach shorts and bright t-shirts with floral garlands and eccentric headwear; rope necklaces, scarves and caps, worn with his trademark unruly hair."
In 1978, a ship that Aikau was travelling on capsized. Putting others before himself, he swam to get help but was tragically never seen again, despite the largest air-sea search in Hawaiian history. In his memory, the phrase "Eddie Would Go" became synonymous with doing the right and most honorable thing; an abbreviation of the idea that he would go where nobody else dared. In 2012, Nashville surf band Blackbear released an EP of the same name in honour of Aikau, and the phrase has become established as a motivational approach to life, not just to surfing. "Eddie had a passion. He had a passion about living and loving the ocean. We have to remember, and we cannot forget, someone who lived this way. Eddie never left people behind. It was his way. It's a way to surf; it's a way to live."

"I helped my parents celebrate the New Year and their first great grandchild with these lovely notecards. The high quality images in combination with the beautiful foil together made the perfect announcement for friends and family. Always a high quality product and timely delivery. Thanks once again Tiny Prints!"
"This card came out beautifully. I was able to use the portions of the photos that I wanted as well as enhance several smaller photos to make a bolder statement. The card's paper quality was excellent. One suggestion, I like to write a short note on the back of the cards. Because of the black base color of the card it would be extra nice if Tinyprints offered the purchase of a gold gel pen with the order."
"The cards felt of quality in your hands. They were not only beautiful with a black and white photo, they looked elegant and felt elegant."
"High quality paper, which has a nice weight and feel. Perfect for those of us who did not get regular seasonal cards out on time."
"I know I rely on Tinyprints to deliver a quality product on time that is also beautiful. I love that I can edit so much of the card unlike other companies."

Yeah, because only "liberal idiots" commute on bikes. (?)
I love how any mention of Arab anything and there's always at least one whiskey tango hillbilly that's gotta weigh in with something stupid and racist. Your momma must be so proud.
What binnola said: Ya'll should read your Thomas Jefferson (instead of watching Glenn Beck dress like him and say moronic things). Remember: we fought a civil war over the state's rights to export the slave trade to state joining the union. The argument is simple: you can have public referendums on decisions that violate the rights of minority groups, but they can be challenged a constitutional violations. What part of equal protection under the law is so hard for you people to understand?
Sometimes I wish you Tea Party people would stop dressing like Revolutionary heroes and start dressing more appropriately: like the losers of the Civil War always whining about how that wicked US Constitution prevents states from acting like tyrants to minority groups. Instead of dressing like George Washington, Glenn Beck should be dressing like that racist slave-owning loser Jefferson Davis.
Oh well, I guess marine construction is one of those "jobs Americans won't do" as Bush said when defending the Republicans (and NeoLib Dems) efforts in increase H2B (legal foreign temps in industry) and H2A (agriculturalist) visas. After Katrina Bush greatly lifted the H2B quota for such workers (and temporarily suspended rules that require federal contract workers to be paid prevailing wages, which are higher than federal minimum and non-union wages). I guiess Bush brought in more foreign temps because apparently America doesn't have enough welders and pipefitters (who are willing to move to a right-to-work state that will pay them less) to fix our own failing infrastructure. Note: Obama is not better on this policy, as he has upheld the GOP's stance that more foreign temps ("legals") are required.
Good thing there's plenty of workers in Dubai and the Philippines! (Assuming Big Gubbmint stops regulating legal foreign temps with those awful regulations that caps the number of workers (that have fewer rights and get paid less) we can cycle in and out of the country.)
End Big Gubbmint! Bring in more H2B workers instead of training our own! There's plenty of cheap and talented labor who can come in -- and they won't be uppity American workers who demand safe work environments and Workmen's comp! Besides, as "at will workers" on temporary work visas, they can be fired and deported at any time. WHoo hoo!
So, yes, let us scrap all those Big Gubbmint programs, like training our own next generation of welders and pipefitters. They'll just whine about "safety" and "wages." An Keralite marine construction worker (brought in on lies that he would be getting a green card) is going to work harder, live in trailers on-site and dare not complain lest -- as the Department of Labor recommends -- private security detain them until company officials can call in the authorities to deport them.
Welcome to America in the 21st Century folks, and be prepared to don the blue Wal-Mart vests. And if you can't afford out-of-pocket private health care, go get in the Medicaid welfare line, quitter.
But does it really need to be in all-caps? You sound like a ranting lunatic.
Oh, come now. Not a Guyanans and coffee shop employees are bad people.
What McChrystal did to the Tillman family is a disgrace to every solider fighting in Afghanistan. I can think of few things more moral-destorying than putting in doubt the veracity of the US armed forces' claims pertaining to the deaths of soldiers. McChrystal's direct and unambiguous participation in withholding the truth to the Tillman's is undeniable.
Your comment makes no sense. The general is the leader Obama wished he had.
Leave BP alone! Everyone knows the rational self-interest of giant multi-national corporations always encouraged them to do the right thing! And left to its own devices (without those stinkin' Commie gub-mint reg-lay-shuns) Wall St. always -- ALWAYS -- rewards ethical behavior.
Forcing BP to set up a compensation fund to fix its mess? How dare the president!
But seriously, no matter what the throne-sniffing rubes want to call it, if it's "arm twisting" -- TWIST AWAY.
I suppose that makes me an un-American Commie, right? (Rolls eyes.)
I tell you what. I'll let you decide whether or not your taxes go to the "murder" of a woman's "unborn child" the day I get to decide whether or not my taxes go to the "murder" of fully developed children in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Nauseating that you would make that comparison. You make me sick.
Great editorial. I was wondering if anyone can confirm if Airline Drive is also Highway 51. Also does anyone know where Highway 51 begins in NOLA?
Sorry, let me correct myself, the "Mahna Mahna" song was in a Italian film about sexual promiscuity in Sweden in the 1960s. it showed a lot of "T&A" and spouse-swapping at orgies. Henson was a brilliant man, and one who would definitely have appreciated "Avenue Q."
I have no idea the age of Theodore P. Mahne, but his review sounds like a Baby Boomer yelling at kids to get off his lawn. I challenge him to write one song as clever as any of the songs on "Avenue Q". Musical theater like "Avenue Q" or the very popular British "Jerry Springer: The Opera" is simply another stage in the evolution of the genre. As far as the inference that this is somehow defiling the institution of "Sesame Street" I have no doubt if Jim Henson (who used a song from a Swiss soft-core porn for one of his bits, the "Mahna-Mahna Song") were alive today he would appreciate this, because that was the kind of guy he was.
"BP's Gulf oil spill response plans severely flawed"
That's a headline and story you write BEFORE THE SPILL not after. Before the spill, this is investigative journalism. After the spill, it's kinda stating the obvious.
Durrrr! Durrrrr!
Heh. That made me chuckle.
What's a chiche? :)
Awww, poor wittle oil corporations! They did their very best but those big bad hippies made it soo hard for them! Whaaaaaaaah! Whaaaaaaaah!
"It includes an exception for abortions when a mother's life is in danger -- but no exception for rape and incest victims, as other states have included in similar bills. "
Wow, it's crazy enough when you try to legislate what women do with their bodies or how they choose to interpret when human life begins -- or declaring that blastocysts have the same rights as the women that carry them -- but "no exception for rape and incest victims" is a whole different level of crazy.

Darwin x86, newbie needs help!
hi guys,
i just loaded darwin on my dell laptop, but im not sure how to use it. when i boot the pc it displays the screen which has a 10 second countdown timer, then auto-loads into a DOS looking shell with just white text on a black background. Is there supposed to be a GUI or MAC looking interface, if so can you please tell me how to get it.
'pure darwin' is just the kernel, your not going to get any of the GUI except for a terminal. this terminal is probably bash-like, if you have ever used UNIX or Linux or the like. you will have to build Darwin with Aqua, and im pretty sure Aqua is not opensource

The Defense Space Council (DSC), created by Deputy Secretary of Defense William J. Lynn III and chaired by the recently-revalidated DoD Executive Agent for Space, Secretary of the Air Force Michael B. Donley, met for the first time Dec. 20, moving forward on one of several changes in DoD Space governance that was approved Nov. 17.
The DSC is the principal advisory forum to inform, coordinate and resolve space issues for DoD. The council will align requirements, acquisition, and budget planning and execution with strategy and policy. These improvements are designed to ensure stronger capabilities, greater efficiencies and a healthier space industrial base.
First on the council's agenda is streamlining the many defense and national security space committees, boards, and councils. The DSC will review more than 15 space-related organizations and recommend their cancellation, consolidation, dissolution, or realignment under the DSC. The formation of the council and its first task were among five recommendations approved by Lynn including the realignment of the National Security Space office and a review of all EA support functions.
"These decisions will not only better position DoD to coordinate the implementation of space policy and strategy, they will also provide the framework for DoD's coordination with the intelligence community on national security space," Donley announced Nov. 19 at the Air Force Association Global Warfare Symposium.
The Air Force is committed to excellence in the space enterprise, both as a core function of the service and on behalf of DoD. The first meeting of the DSC builds upon recent actions that have strengthened DoD's stewardship of space including a comprehensive review and realignment of Headquarters Air Force space management and responsibilities.

"You've been here before, but things are about to change. I know it. I feel it. There's a storm on the way." -- Stephen King
He said something that changed my life. He said he didn't fear death. He couldn't remember what it was like before being born but he didn't think death would be that much different. Death had always been my biggest fear before that but that statement really relaxed me. It was liteally life changing.
He'll be missed.

In some way I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know he couldn't eat or speak for the last several years. Bless his heart and Godspeed. And thumbs up man! You were the best of the best.

No shame in that, Brian. He didn't hide it, but it didn't slow him down much either. Not noticing is probably a pretty nice compliment, really.
If I could just face issues in my life with half the grace and aplomb he displayed over the last several years, I'd feel like I had it together.
I loved his movie reviews... and he didn't seem to take himself too seriously. RIP.
