"When you accept money in payment for your effort, you do so only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the product of the effort of others. It is not the moochers or the looters who give value to money. Not an ocean of tears nor all the guns in the world can transform those pieces of paper in your wallet into the bread you will need to survive tomorrow. Those pieces of paper which should have been gold, are a token of honor -- your claim upon the energy of the men who produce. Your wallet is your statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money." ~ Ayn Rand
Vox Popoli: Police Are Violent, Vulgar, Ignorant Scum
I agree for the most part. Vox wrote: "Where human liberty is concerned, they are now almost invariably on the wrong side. They are servants of the State who have become the enemies, not only of the citizenry, but of human freedom."

The headline says it best, but Vox got it backwards -- the police are the enemy, and the state the servant of the police. Every public employee, elected or hired, from the lowliest paper-pusher to the president, serves the interest of the police. The police serve no one but themselves.

Right after I photographed their wedding, I mentioned that I had never seen a groom be more tenter towards his bride. 1 year later, Tim still holds the title belt. I have such great memories of their wedding at Stone Oak Ranch and I KNEW they would be the perfect couple to check in on after their first year of marriage. Enjoy.
What do you miss most about the single life?
Hahah, actually not a lot. Little things here and there; alone time, a different kind of freedom… But really we don't miss it.
Give us your best cheapo/fun married date idea.
Build a fort in your living room, have breakfast for dinner, and watch a good movie (Tim always picks). We are the simple, stay home kinda people.
Getting ice cream and driving around looking at all the nice houses in our neighborhood and dreaming about one day…
What have you liked most about your first year being married?
Waking up together, supporting one another, always having "my person" I can count on, figuring things out together, celebrating together,praying together. We like that we are forever together.
Tim: What have you discovered about Beth this year that you didn't realize before?
How gracious she is and how she is able to forgive me on my off days.
Beth: What is one thing super gross thing about Tim that you learned now that you are married to him?
I wish I had something truly appalling but Tim is a lot of things but gross isn't one… Not for a good story here but it makes living together much more pleasant.
What have you fought about most and why?
Money! Because we both are independent and tend to want to control things in our own way. We have really had to work to understand each other and be on the same team when it comes to our finances and budgeting.
What was the biggest thing you were nervous about? How has it turned out?
Tim: I was anxious about the weight of responsibility and caring for my wife. It's been a blessing to overcome selfishness and to learn (the beginning of) how to serve her and trust God as he leads us.
Beth: The first year being the hardest year of your life. It's hasn't been the simpliest year of life but we have really fought to have fun, give grace, forgive, and make memories together. We know more things will come but we have genuinely loved our first year of marriage.
What do you wish someone had told you before you were married?
We honestly have a phenomenal community and they did well to prepare us. I will say one thing that someone did say that I wish I heard more was that every marriage is different and part of the fun is learning and failing together to make it the best it can be.

Although dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) offers an effective measurement of bone mineral density, it only provides a 2-D projected measurement of the bone mineral density. Clinical computed tomography (CT) imaging will have to be employed for measurement of 3-D bone mineral density. The typical dual energy process requires precise measurement of the beam spectral intensity at the 80 kVp and 120 kVp settings. However, this is not used clinically because of the extra radiation dosage and sophisticated hardware setup. We propose an accurate and fast approach to measure bone material properties with single energy scans. Beam hardening artifacts are eliminated by incorporating the polychromatic characteristics of the X-ray beam into the reconstruction process. Bone mineral measurement from single energy CT correction is compared with that of dual energy correction and the commonly used DXA. Experimental results show that single energy correction is compatible with dual energy CT correction in eliminating beam hardening artifacts and producing an accurate measurement of bone mineral density. We can then estimate Young's modulus, yield stress, yield strain and ultimate tensile stress of the bone, which are important data for patient specific therapy planning.

My fondest memory of the wii launch date: NYC , Time's Square, Toys R Us - yes, I was there..In that horrnedous line; with tourists, That was me there - in that line..a (at the time) "native" New Yorker; in a launch line..at MIDNIGHT. what was I thinking? I was with friends - peer pressure..
I'll never forget the look on the cahsier's face; when instead of saying "i want the wii" I simply gave her my purchase: Yoshi's Island DS. I was literally the only human being; that early morning..in the Wii launch line, buying a copy of a DS game. She thought I was out of mind. In her own mind, she probably thought I'd waited in that horendous line for hours on end - just to buy that game..hahahaha. But probably not; unless she was retarded.
I was there with my friends; who had pre-ordered the wii - and had to have it..on THAT DAY. Honestly, now since I'm older..I'm over "Launch lines" i'll just wait 1 or 2 days extra; and get the thing without waiting in a line like that.
THAT BEING SAID..I really really really love Yoshi's Island - i love the SNES version; and I love the DS version...so..um..I'm sorry. WHERE IS THE SEQUEL?! The guys at Nintendo game out with a "Super Marios Bros. 2", they've come out with a NEW random Mario game "Super Mario Land" (both titles i LOVE, btw) but..come on..give Yoshi his spotlight, guys. Yoshi hasn't appeared on the DS or 3DS since the WII LAUNCH YEAR. What year was that? like..2007? WE WANT OUR YOSHI!!! Thank GOD - they finally let us have Yoshi on the Wii..with Super Mario Galaxy 2. - but what about the hand-held fans? I'm mucho sadened at Nintendo's decision to deprive me of my favorite dino friend... Who's with me..?

Haskell is one of the few programming languages that use lazy evaluation: computations get performed only when their result is demanded. It is however not so straightforward to combine lazy evaluation with side effects, such as reading from a file.
Lazy I/O is the standard solution to this in the current base libraries, but has its problems. We explain how lazy I/O works, what the problems are, and explore some of the solutions that are being proposed at the moment: iteratees, pipes, stream I/O, etc.

SICK BASTARDS! [/quote] There\'s a reason for that. There\'s a higher expectation of white people, so all attention is placed on white people with their behavior. Child rape within the ethnic communities is not even reported, let alone investigated, because most of these areas are written off as \"hopelessly lost\" In otherwords, the problem of poverty and gangs and drugs and murder trumps whatever child-rape is going on in the inner-city. [/quote] :bsflag: Maybe in your mind. white pedophilia is rampant, and well organized. Look at your white buddy Sandusky, well known protected pedophile. They knew he was raping children and they did nothing. They allowed it to continue to happen for a decade. Stop acting like White pedophilia is something new, You pinks are perverse sexual deviants with an unfathomable thirst for wicked deviant behavior. everything from mason jars to horses goes up pink anus. [/quote] This is what Ive never understood, Whites obsession with porn and pedophilia, It makes me ashamed of the race At least Blacks and Hispanics go out and get some real booty from a grown female. Do whites need lessons on how to pick up women or what? 90 percent of black or hispanic will always have a wife or girlfriend 24/7. Ive noticed this. The chances of a white man having a wife or girlfriend is only 50 percent. So this is probaly why our birth rate is so low. [/quote] LOL, I have nothing against any race, but it is funny that you mention that. There is a difference in [i]most[/i] white guys that I know...they really do have some different sexual interests, I guess is the word I am looking for. Maybe they have been generally more sexually repressed over time so it leads to shame, and acting out sexually? I don't know, but I have noticed a difference. [/quote] Yes, the chance that a white man will like leather and spanking, or be a porn addict or user of prostitutes, etc and every sexual kink seems higher. Meanwhile the Blacks and Hispanics simply get it on and pop out many, many, many babies.. Ive never even known a black or hispanic ever holed up in their house addicted to porn, they were always out chasing women and getting women pregnant. I guess whites are in danger of going extinct at this rate ...(frown) [/quote] not all whites are into porn or pedo ..lol im appalled by that shit , like there is many kind of blacks there is also many kind of whites .. and i myself want to live by gods laws , porn would be banned and pedos shot in my world .. we would live by the old testament nothing more ... im a young guy raised by old fasioned parents and we dont do any of that shit ... prostitues would be hung , so would adulterers .... there is nothing good about black men or other races of men going out having children out of wedlock , there are a generation of bastards filled with devils ... nothiong good about that , it would be a living hell , like most ghettos , created by the blackman thinking of his dick ... where is your daddy apollo .... point proven [/quote] Glad to hear that all white men are not deviant sexual bastards as most of us women have come to believe. I think I will vote for you for president. Yea I know you are Australian, but it doesnt matter. [/quote]
Original Message
Statistics reveal a turning point in U.S. history. Less than half of the babies is of European descent.
U.S. census statistics, published on Thursday says that more than half of newborns belong to a minority. For the first time in the history Caucasian of European ancestry are a minority of new-born babies, the American news media say.
The calculation of the population were observed between July 2010 and July 2011. 50.4 percent of newborn babies belonged to ethnic minority. Two years earlier, during the same period minorities accounted for 48.6 per cent.
The newspaper The Wall Street Journal writes that a black president, Barack Obama's selection in 2008 was a symbolic change in the American people in the face. Now, the change is also a statistical fact.
Newspaper interview with demographer William Frey says that those generations who are over 50-year-old, blacks are the largest minority. Younger generations in turn, the largest minority after European whites are those of Latin American origin.

I'm a bit stumped here, but here goes. I have 85 workstations, 85 ip phones 20 servers, 10 printers, 2 esxi hosts, EMC ISCI and numerous other IP devices on our network. 192.168.4.X, 255.255.255.0
We are running out of I.P's and as we increase in size I am starting to see a performance decrease on the network. I know its not ideal how we have it setup, and Im trying to resolve it.
My first thought would be to increase the amount of available IP's within this subnet. My thought was to change our subnet to 255.255.254.0 for a total of 510 host addresses. But it would just triple the broadcast domain. (We are a cad environment). That would not be favorable in my opinion.
Ok, here is my thought. VLANS!!
I have a budget for switches. I have chosen to go with three hp 3500-48g-PoE's for the data and two E2910'-46G-POE's for the voice. I do know that I dont need the three 3500's as POE's but they do not come without POE and if anything happens to the phone poe switches I can move the phone over to the data switch and plug the workstation into the phone. Also the 3500's do Layer 3 routing which leads me to my next question.
I want the PC's, servers, printers, and ISCI in the default vlan O, the phones in VLAN 1. So all data will be 192.168.4.X and the phones with be 192.168.6.X?
Do I need a router to route the traffic between the VLANS or will one of the layer 3 switches work?
I also have two remote sites connected via MPLS. I did not plan on upgrading the switches at those sites yet. Will this work if I keep everything the same at the two remote sites?
UGH it's rough trying to explain. But please let me know if I did not provide enough info and thanks for taking the time to read.

I like the practice of breaking down vlans for location. At my old company we had 2 floors in our building so we had a vlan for PCs on floor one and a vlan for PCs on floor 2.
I'd do the same with your ip phones.. it could help with troubleshooting as well.
I'd put your printers on their own vlan just to separate them.

Unique Hotel Close to Everything in TownPosted Jun 22, 2016
Pros: Centrality. Homey. Nice common room, with games (and wine for sale) - although a bit dark, since there are no windows in the space. Parking (free!).
Cons: Air conditioning system. Mattress on double bed needs replacing. Thicker towels. Outside seating area would be nice. More light.
Location: Lovely town. Great wine bar across the road. Nightly enactment of wild west shoot-out down street is fun for kids. Very convenient for Grand Canyon.
Old fashioned small hotel in center of town. We had one of the family rooms, with twin beds in the loft and a full bed downstairs. Stairs to the loft are not for the faint of heart. Very steep. Room had a small fridge and tiny cupboard. No windows. Feels cramped and airless. Had air conditioning, but system is very loud. Mattress is soft. Shower in bathroom is fine, but towels are tiny, thin and frayed.

Homey and authentic hotel on Route 66Posted Jun 18, 2016
Pros: Very charming, homey, great location. Loved the welcome, super friendly staff.
Location: Great location if you're heading to Grand Canyon and you don't want to break the bank. Charming town with lots of diners and shops around.
We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. Front desk staff was very nice and friendly. We stayed in a tiny 2 beds with private bedroom, and it was very clean and adorable. The whole place has a unique and authentic atmosphere, and it felt very homey, welcoming and charming. No problems to park the car as you can park it on the side streets or they have a parking lot behind. Great location right on Route 66, near diners and shops, and only an hour drive south of Grand Canyon south entrance. We wished we could have stayed longer! Great little place I will definitely recommend to anyone traveling to Grand Canyon and who doesn't want to spend a lot by staying in the GC Village.

Product Description
From Amazon
A search for birth parents is a common premise in fiction, but rarely has it been used as a basis for a mystery as convincing as Midnight Cab. The story begins in 1979, with the discovery of a mysteriously abandoned three-year-old boy, Walker Devereaux, at the side of a rural Ontario road. It quickly flashes forward to 1995, when Walker, now driving a cab in Toronto, has committed himself to a quest to discover his real identity and that of his parents. Nichol then shifts chronological gears again, back to 1961, where we meet budding young psychopath Bobby Nuremborski. The stories of Walker and Bobby are told alternately, but not until we are halfway through the book do we glimpse their inevitable confrontation. From there, the tale continues through numerous surprising twists and turns, as Nichol masterfully ratchets up the suspense. Balancing the bone-chilling evocation of evil in Midnight Cab is the heartwarming depiction of the romance unfolding between Walker and his wheelchair-bound cab dispatcher, Krista.
Nichol first introduced Walker and Krista in his popular Midnight Cab series of CBC Radio dramas in the early 1990s. Given that background, and Nichol's experience as a playwright, it's no surprise that his dialogue is sharp. His prose style is crisp, too, and often poetic, as in "an invisible drizzle that immediately started to bead like tiny diamonds on his grey wool jacket." It actually seems a shame that Nichol, an exceptional talent, took so long to produce his first novel. This Midnight Cab can indeed be hailed--as a superb read. --Kerry Doole --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Publishers Weekly
Adapted from a popular Canadian radio drama, this light, engaging first novel by playwright Nichol is a coming-of-age story steeped in mystery. Abandoned by the roadside at the age of three, 19-year-old Walker Devereaux sets off to find his birth parents with the aid of only two clues: a photo of his mother as a child and a cryptic letter to her from her best friend. In pursuit of his past, he leaves his adoptive family and girlfriend in Big River and moves to Toronto, where he finds work on the graveyard shift at a cab company. He falls in with his dispatcher, the attractive, wheelchair-bound Krista Papadopoulos. Together, they follow the trail of Walker's parents as it leads from Toronto's chic Forest Hill neighborhood to the shores of Lake Erie and finally to Kingston, Jamaica. Nichol weaves in the story of Bobby, an animal-torturing, Hannibal Lechter–like character who Walker must confront if he is to learn his family's dark past. In an attempt to dissuade them from probing further, Bobby sets Krista's car on fire and kills Walker's cat, Kerouac. Undeterred, Walker soldiers on. Nichol's instincts as a playwright serve him well. The dialogue between Walker and Krista is quick and playful, and though the suspense rarely builds to Hitchcockian heights, the novel is well paced and the pages turn quickly.

MIDNIGHT CAB is set in Toronto, Canada, and it starts with a three-year-old boy clinging to a wire fence at the side of a country road. This is Walter Devereaux; he's found and placed in a number of foster homes before he goes to live with the Devereauxs in Big River, Canada. They're an ideal family and he loves them dearly, but he feels he must go to Toronto to find his real parents. He has a letter and a picture of two little girls that he hopes will help him in his quest.
Walter has trouble finding a job but ultimately he finds work at the A.P. Cabs owned by Alphonso Piatelli, who tries to hire him off the books. His night dispatcher, Krista Papadopoulos, soon puts an end to that and a romance ensues. Oh, yeah, Krista just happens to be in a wheel chair.
A parallel story has to do with Bobby Nuremborski, a young boy who hungers for the attention of his father. Bobby will remind you of the killer in LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR. He's gay but he won't admit it; his father would never tolerate a homosexual son. Eventually the two stories intersect leading to some gripping action.
The setting of the story shifts from Toronto to Jamaica, and that's when the novel loses some of its credibility. Like Tony Hillerman, when he moves the story off the Navajo reservation, the author, James W. Nichol, needs to focus on what he knows best. The Canada sequences are believable and compelling, Jamaica not so much.
Despite these quibbles I enjoyed MIDNIGHT CAB immensely and would like to see a sequel. Krista and Walter are likeable characters and the cab company is an ideal setting for a mystery series.
As you read in the summary, the book is about a 19-year-old who is trying to find out who his real parents are. He was found left by the side of the road when he was three, with only a photograph and a cryptic letter.
His hunt takes him to Toronto, where he and his new girlfriend do some detective work...and when they seem to have it all figured out, the author throws in another twist.
There is another side story in the book that takes place around the life of another teenager, but this scene is set many years beforehand.
Once the two stories meet up, everything falls into place.
This is a must-read for anyone who likes thrillers!
A boy searching for his roots couldn't ask for more adventure than Walker found. Excellent twists and turns give Walker and the reader a most entertaining reaad.
Can't wait for the next one!

Stephen Railton's study of the American Renaissance proposes a fresh way of conceiving the writer as a performing artist and the text as an enactment of the drama of its own performance. Railton focuses on how major prose works of the period are preoccupied with their readershow they seek to negotiate the conflicted space between the authors, who brought to the act of publication their own anxieties of ambition and identity, and the contemporary American reading public, which, as a growing mass audience in a democracy, had acquired an unprecedented authority over the terms of literary performance. New readings of Emerson's orations, Poe's tales, the sketches of the Southwest Humorists, Walden, Uncle Tom's Cabin, The Scarlet Letter, and Moby-Dick relocate American writers in the dramatic context in which they suffered and thrived. The book attends closely to historicist issues, arguing that one of the most profound ways that the culture shaped these texts was also the most immediateas the audience each writer had to address. Equally concerned with biographical themes, it appreciates each of the major works within the larger pattern of the writer's public career and private needs.

Authorship and Audience
Literary Performance in the American Renaissance
By Stephen Railton
PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PRESSCopyright © 1991 Princeton University Press
All rights reserved.
[In America] the general reader, or the common reader (he who stands somewhere between the avant garde and the consumers of mass diversion), has had a greater and more direct influence on the writer than his counterpart in Europe has had. This statement can be documented conclusively from internal evidence in the work of our greatest writers. —William Charvat, Literary Publishing in America
The child is sincere, and the man when he is alone, if he be not a writer. —Ralph Waldo Emerson, The Journals
My main concern in this study is with the major prose works of the American Renaissance. My list of major texts is a traditional one—Emerson's "Divinity School Address," Thoreau's Walden, Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter, Poe's tales, and Melville's Moby-Dick—but I try to reread them from a new point of view: as performances. The context I am trying to define can be called a dramatic one, although the drama is peculiarly subjective. The paradox of writing is that it is at once an intensely solitary and an utterly public act. Although I am alone at my desk, you are with me as I write this paragraph. I can shut the door to keep other people out of the room, but I can hardly exclude you from my consciousness. What I think about the major prose texts of the American Renaissance is one thing; what I say about them, however, and how I say it—those things, these words, depend upon the complex and dramatic fact that I am saying them to you. Fully to appreciate the innumerable choices I have to make as I push this sentence across the page means taking into an account of it my ambitions as a person and my sense of an audience as a late-twentieth-century critic. Similarly, my account of Emerson's, Thoreau's, Hawthorne's, Poe's, and Melville's works attempts to relocate them in the space in which they were originally written: the space between the individual author, beset by his own hopes and fears, and the contemporary American reading public for whom he was writing. So while my main concern is with the texts themselves, I must also take into this account what lay behind them—the emotional lives of these American authors—and what lay before them—the values, appetites, and expectations of their mid-nineteenth-century American audience. Theoretically, this means subordinating the texts to the status of effect. The causes that governed them are to be found, at least for the purposes of this study, in the anxieties of their authors and in the assumptions of their audience.
The premise on which my account is based is that writing should be conceptualized as a public gesture, not as a private act. Experientially, I believe, everyone is already aware of this because everyone has been a performing writer, if only as a school child trying to produce a composition for a teacher and a grade. It is possible that some may be so solipsistic as to remain unaffected by the thought that what they are writing will be seen by other eyes—re-viewed—but surely even most student essayists can recognize their own self-consciousness as writers in Washington Irving's description, in the last paragraph of The Sketch Book, of his "peculiar situation":
The author is conscious of the numerous faults and imperfections of his work, and well aware how little he is disciplined and accomplished in the arts of authorship. His deficiencies are also increased by a diffidence arising from his peculiar situation. He finds himself writing in a strange land, and appearing before a public which he has been accustomed, from childhood, to regard with the highest feelings of awe and reverence. He is full of solicitude to deserve their approbation, yet finds that very solicitude continually embarrassing his powers, and depriving him of that ease and confidence which are necessary to successful exertion.
Although Irving's modesty is certainly exceptional, the situation he is describing is less peculiar than he thinks. The page on which anyone writes for publication is inevitably a "strange land." This page, for instance. Whose is it? Mine? On it I seem to have a godlike creative power and a freedom I could never find in the real world beyond the margins. I could spend two years at Walden Pond or meet Fayaway for a canoe ride. Apparently anything can happen here. Yet when I am finished with it, this page is yours. To the extent that my sense of myself is invested in a concern about your response, my apparent freedom shrinks dramatically. What Irving acknowledges, with a candor that few writers have chosen to imitate, is that the public before which he "appears" stands between him and the page, between his imaginative vision and the words in which he seeks to realize it. Certainly in the case of The Sketch Book, the painstaking casualness of Irving's prose, the tortured gracefulness of his style, the provincial cosmopolitanism of his allusions all reflect the anxiety about performing that, as he admits, he "continually" felt as a writer.
It was Cooper's career that first prompted me to think about the role that an audience plays in the work of literature. When, at age thirty, Cooper committed himself to the attempt to become a professional American novelist, he had to begin with his potential readers. If the prospects for American fiction were still an unexplored, largely empty territory (much like the continent), the realm in which his imagination could play rather resembled a baseball or football field; it had already been marked off and defined by a set of rules and conventions, the specific patterns that imported British novels had conditioned American readers to expect. As James D. Wallace has shown in his study of Cooper's first three novels, Cooper's stunning success at the start of his career resulted from his creative acceptance of the conditions that his audience's assumptions imposed on his imagination. In the way he appropriated and reshaped the elements of popular British fictions, he found the means to recondition Americans to read American tales and, as he put it, to please himself as well. Despite his success, however, Cooper was always extremely uneasy with the demands of literary performance. By the end of his first decade as an author, he was anxious to get his "neck out of the halter" of authorship. Disgusted, as he put it in a letter to a friend, with himself; mortified, as he put it in A Letter to His Countrymen, with his audience, he announced his retirement. Within a few more years he went back to writing novels, but in most of the fictions he wrote in this second half of his career, his mixed feelings about his audience became an explicit part of the performance. The ground on which his imagination had previously played was now conceived as a battleground for which his imagination had to fight. His quarrel with his country was actually a quarrel with his readers, and what started it was his quarrel with the dynamics of literary performance itself.
As I try to show in my study of Cooper, his various reactions to his American audience's reactions have to be labeled overreactions. Out of the slightest real causes he created another kind of fiction: "The Career of James Fenimore Cooper, Betrayed Novelist," which was then followed by a sequel, "The Revenge of the Writer." In my book I explain his overreactions in the Oedipal terms of his quest for identity as a son. But since the melodramatic shape of Cooper's career also resembles that of a number of others in the American nineteenth century—Brockden Brown's, Melville's, Mark Twain's, even Irving's—I came to realize that it also reveals a good deal about the quest for identity of the American writer: about American writers' peculiarly dependent relationship to the responses of their audience, and the amount of performance anxiety that vulnerability produced. One of Cooper's late novels, The Crater, yielded a paradigm, not just for Cooper's career but for thinking about the paradox of writing as both intensely private and utterly public.
Cooper's twenty-eighth novel, The Crater tells the story of Mark Woolston, an American seaman who, like Robinson Crusoe, is shipwrecked on an island he first cultivates and then colonizes. Its subject is ostensibly American society in the 1840s. By removing the setting to a Pacific island, Cooper tries to give his polemic exposé of the dangers of rabid egalitarianism the clarity of a political parable. But in its distribution of narrative emphases, the novel is more evocatively a parable about imaginative creation and publication. Effectively alone on the island for much of the story, Woolston delights in his uncontested possession of a realm over which his own will is sovereign. The crater is like the novelist's blank pages, ready to take the impress of his own designs: a new world for him to bring into expression. Indeed, Woolston's efforts "to create, and to adorn, and to perfect" are followed, thanks to a volcanic process that Cooper leaves rather vague, by an enormous enlargement of his kingdom. But he is not allowed to remain alone and undisturbed. Once his realm is exposed to other eyes, the idyll of creating a world in solitude gives way to the violence of having to share it with the public. Initially the violence is moral and emotional, but by the end it has been literalized. Rather than watch his beloved playground be desecrated by the mob of Americans who claim it for themselves, Woolston sails away; when he returns, he finds that another volcanic eruption has carried off the whole island—sunk it like the Pequod and its crew. Cooper wants us to accept this destruction as a judgment of God. Most readers view it instead as his own anger at the evils of American society. But we can also see in this apocalypse the rage of a novelist against the inevitable constraints of his art. In Genesis the creator is also the reviewer: "and God saw that it was good." Mortal artists, though, have to live with the feet that others will pass judgment on their creation. Under our eyes Cooper brings a world into being, but because he cannot find his own wishes reflected in those eyes, he destroys the whole world he has made. The pleasures of solitary creation are consumed by the trauma of public-ation.
Writing about Cooper taught me about writing as a performance in a more visceral way as well. I had read what writers themselves have said about reading reviews of their work. On the record they mostly affect indifference to the process of publication. Yet after my book on Cooper was published and I waited for some echo to come back from the emptiness into which it had gone, I came to realize how much I had at stake in what other people, whose feces I might never see, would say about my work. When at last there were reviews to read, I had to give up any lingering pretense to a disinterested sense of achievement. Reading what others said—or failed to say—I learned that it was not just my book, but somehow my self that was vulnerable to their judgments. I doubt my experience was at all unusual. In October 1838, in the midst of the controversy aroused by "The Divinity School Address," Emerson confided to the pages of his journal: "I am sensitive as a leaf to impressions from abroad. And under this night's beautiful heaven I have forgotten that ever I was reviewed." The italics are Emerson's, and of course, as the passage itself reveals, he had not forgotten.
Probably the most important, at any rate the most inescapable, thing that a critic brings to the study of literature is his or her own obsessions. It can hardly be a coincidence that I soon noticed how preoccupied with their audience are the nineteenth-century American works I teach. Because typically Emerson's audience was in the room with him when he first "published" his essays as lectures, it is perhaps obvious why he devoted so much attention in his journals to the topic of performing, to the anxieties and rewards of addressing a public. It is less obvious, however, why he would erase almost all traces of this concern when he revised his journal entries into lectures and essays. On the other hand, Walden and Moby-Dick are written works, yet in each a narrative mode is displaced by a rhetorical one; as texts, they are essentially organized around a direct encounter with their reader, who is not merely repeatedly addressed, but even given lines to speak. The Scarlet Letter too inscribes an audience right into its text: before the "story" begins, the throng of Puritan men and women is put in place as its immediate audience. Poe's well-known aesthetic doctrine, the theory of a "unity of effect" that he develops in his critical pieces, puts the reader's mind at the very center of his imaginative project; by claiming that the work of literature is to produce an effect, Poe implicitly makes each of his tales and poems as much a performance as any of Emerson's lectures. Writers, as Emerson noted, are never alone. But as a group, the major writers of the American Renaissance were particularly preoccupied with the drama of literary performance. To appreciate the achievement of their works, and the conflict out of which it came, we need to set their texts back in this dramatic context and to look at the role the contemporary American public played, in this drama and in these texts.
It might help clarify my theoretical concerns if I locate them in our contemporary context. As Susan R. Suleiman has pointed out, "in the field of literary theory and criticism ... [t]he words reader and audience, once relegated to the status of the unproblematic and obvious, have acceded to a starring role." Within the last twenty years, critics working from such disparate methodological traditions as linguistics, philosophy, psychoanalysis and sociology have arrived at the problem of "the reader in the text." The large and growing body of work on this issue is summarily referred to as "reader-response criticism"; included under this rubric are many kinds of "reader" and many categories of "response." My concern with "readers," however, responds to an essentially different set of questions from those asked by reader-response criticism. To put it simply, I am less interested in the experience of reading the major prose texts of the American Renaissance than in the experience of writing them. To put it positively, I am more interested in the writer's consciousness than in the reader's, in the dynamics of literary creation than in the dynamics of interpretive or affective response.
I have no desire to be polemical about this difference. Yet I think criticism should preserve a distinction that is often blurred—as Suleiman blurs it in the passage above: the distinction between "reader" and "audience." Once I commit my words to print, "you" may be anyone; this potential and ahistorical "you" we can call the reader that most reader-response criticism identifies as its object of study. But while I write this, my sense of "you" is more determinant; as a late twentieth-century critic of American literature, I have in mind a particular audience for my prose. While I have a measure of freedom in deciding what kind of audience I want to try to address, and while, in any case, as Walter J. Ong points out, my sense of audience is essentially a fiction—a conceptual category rather than, say, a real group of men and women, an abstraction rather than a set of faces, the way I define an audience cannot be detached from the circumstances of a particular time and place. As the reader-response critics say, a reader comes into existence every time someone, some place opens a book and begins to process a text. An audience, however, is something that is there before a writer begins to write—it is "there" in the real world he or she inhabits, as the set of potential readers for the text; more significantly, it is "there" in the author's mind as his or her sense of the people to whom the text is addressed.

"Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing but nobody else does."

"If advertisers spent the same amount of money on improving their products as they do on advertising then they wouldn't have to advertise them."
"The business that considers itself immune to the necessity for advertising sooner or later finds itself immune to business."
"Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink."
"Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero."

How did you get your job on Good Game?
Already being an editor at the ABC I watched from afar with envy until I finally found the blue door key on the E1M3.
Fanboy over what?
Quake series and that era of gaming, the mods and community that was a fun thing to be a part of. Also Half-Life, X-Wing, Neverwinter Nights, Full Throttle... I should probably just stop now.
What's on your pile of shame?
These days it's probably quicker to tell you just the games that aren't on my pile. But I am most shamed by not finishing Dragon Age. I had like 1 hour left in it and then just dropped it... hmm. I should check for those save files.

A group of public school students in Oregon skipped class earlier this week to stage a protest against President Obama's directive that public schools allow students to use bathrooms that match their gender identity, not their birth sex.
Students and parents from Hedrick Middle School staged a protest Monday against the directive, arguing that the federal government's policy of giving students who are boys according to their birth sex access to girls bathrooms and changing rooms, and vice versa, endangers their safety.
In an interview with local news station KTVL channel 10, one student stated that a major reason for their objection was the concern that boys will use the directive as an excuse to enter girls' restrooms. more >>
Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., is demanding answers from the United States Department of Education over its controversial transgender bathroom directive that it and the Department of Justice sent to all United States public school districts last week.
The departments issued a joint edict to all public schools instructing them to allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their gender identity last Friday and relied on Title IX law to justify its order.
With public schools running the risk of losing millions in federal education funding if they don't let biological boys into girls locker rooms and bathrooms, and vice versa, Lankford, chairman of the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Subcommittee, asserted in a letter to Education Secretary John B. King on Tuesday that the Obama administration's interpretation of Title IX is actually contradictory to what the law states. more >>
A majority of parents of school-aged children oppose President Barack Obama's recent directive allowing transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice, according to a recent poll.
Rasmussen Reports conducted a national telephone survey and found that 51 percent of parents opposed the federal government's recent directive, versus 33 percent in favor and 16 percent undecided.
"Among Americans with elementary and secondary school age children, those most directly impacted by the Obama administration's latest order, 55% are opposed," reported Rasmussen. more >>
African-American activists throughout the United States are slamming the Obama administration for comparing North Carolina's recently passed transgender law to white-supremacist laws that once permitted racism and segregation.
Attorney General Loretta Lynch made headlines last week when she chastised North Carolina's controversial transgender bathroom law, which protects businesses and other places of public accommodation from being coerced by local governments into making women's bathrooms, locker rooms and showers available to men who identify as women and vice versa.
Since North Carolina's law also requires people to use bathrooms in government buildings that match their birth sex and not the gender in which they choose to identify, Lynch announced on May 9 that the United States Justice Department filed a lawsuit against the state over its refusal to cave to an ultimatum the department sent three days earlier calling for the state not to enforce the law. more >>
Phil Robertson, the 70-year-old patriarch of A&E's "Duck Dynasty," argues that removing male and female distinctions in the transgender bathroom debate in America creates a "sexual free-for-all," where depravity is "going mainstream."
"There's been a lot of decrees in the past five years that I don't agree with, and that's just one of them. I don't know what percent of Americans are confused about whether they are male or female, but I'm a Bible man with common sense, and logic tells me you're either a boy or a girl, absent a few medical aberrations," Robertson told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview.
He was speaking about President Obama's decree last week to public schools, which demands that administrators allow students to use bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity, not their birth sex. more >>
A Christian legal expert believes that the Obama Administration is continuing its legal battle against an order of nuns opposed to the federal government's birth control mandate because of an agenda to coerce religious groups.
The United States Supreme Court ruled Monday that the Little Sisters of the Poor's lawsuit to be exempted from the government's preventive services mandate will return to the lower court with an increased possibility that the nuns will get their exemption.
Kim Colby, director at the Center for Law & Religious Freedom of the Christian Legal Society, told The Christian Post that the Obama Administration has maintained this legal battle with the Little Sisters to benefit its "pro-abortion" allies. more >>

Cute. I absolutly love the last line that Matthew says. When my friends and I were little (there were 3 of us) the youngest of the group (by a couple months) would always say 'patience, patience' whenever me or the third member of our group would get mad. It brought back a lot of awesome memories and for me the last line was the highlight of the story. Thanks for that little dose of nostalgia. Ciao ;o)

Osborne Says U.K. Must Solve Short-Fall of Airport Capacity
Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said that the U.K. needs to find a solution to the lack of airport capacity in the southeast of the country to maintain its links with emerging economies.
London's Heathrow airport, Europe's busiest airport, currently operates at 99 percent capacity. Prime Minister David Cameron scrapped plans for a third runway in May 2010 in favor of developing a high-speed rail link from London to northern England to reduce demand for short-haul flights.
"We cannot cut ourselves off from the fastest growing cities in the world," Osborne said to lawmakers in London as he presented his annual budget. The Transport Secretary will set out the government's thoughts on the issue "later this summer," he said.
Osborne also said that the government was seeking investment from U.K. pension funds in infrastructure. The government is seeking funds to develop roads, railways, clean energy and water, as well as broadband networks he said.
