North Adams DPW Worker Guilty of Spilling Diesel Fuel
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — A North Adams man pleaded guilty on Wednesday afternoon in Berkshire Superior Court to several charges.
Glenn A. Robert, 63, pleaded guilty before Judge John Agostini on single counts of violation of the notification requirement of a release or threat of release of oil or hazardous waste, illegal disposal of hazardous waste and discharging a pollutant into the waters of the commonwealth.
Agostini continued the charges without a finding for two years on the condition that Robert pay restitution to the city of North Adams in the amount of $3,868 to compensate it for a environmental report required by the Department of Environmental Protection.
Robert, a North Adams Public Works employee, spilled approximately 20 gallons of diesel fuel at the Department of Public Works garage in North Adams on Oct. 15, 2012.
The investigation was conducted by investigators assigned to the Department of Environmental Protection. Mayor Richard Alcombright said Robert was suspended for a month but the longtime employee will be back to work.
Robert was apparently fueling up a machine when he went inside the office to log the gallons. When he came out, the pump had slipped from the machine and fuel was going into a nearby drain that goes into the river. Alcombright said the city was notified of a strong smell of fuel from Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art.
Robert tried to soak up the fuel with Speedi-Dri and booms were put in the river to contain the spill.

DA: Dalton Women's Death 'Not Suspicious'
DALTON, Mass. — The District Attorney's office has confirmed that the body found behind the American Legion was Theresa Burke, who had gone missing since early Sunday morning, and that there is nothing suspicious with the death.
"The investigation has revealed there is nothing suspicious with the death," Spokesman Fred Lantz said on Tuesday.
|Theresa Burke has been missing since early Sunday morning.
DALTON, Mass. — A body found near the American Legion on Monday morning is believed to be that of Theresa Burke, missing since early Sunday morning.
The young Dalton woman was last seen about 3 a.m. Sunday. The body was found in a wooded area near 258 North St.
Burke had attended a show at Chameleon's in Pittsfield on Saturday night that included a fundraiser for the Berkshire Band-Itz roller derby team of which she was a member.
Burke's family and friends began posting on Facebook that she was missing on Sunday and her mother, Catherine Burke, contacted police. They also searched the neighborhood and passed her picture and information to convenience stores and other places. She was believed to have her cell phone but did not respond to anyone.
According to Facebook posts, she was last seen in Dalton wearing gray yoga pants, black combat boots and a possibly a gray hooded sweat shirt, and that it would be unusual for her not to contact her mother.
Burke, who has a 5-year-old daughter, Madison, would have been 24 on Thanksgiving Day, according to her Facebook page. She was described as a loving mother and daughter, a cheerful person and a good friend.
Her timeline was filled with comments on Sunday pleading with her to call someone, anyone; by mid-morning on Monday, it was filled with condolences and prayers.

Stamford Crash Totals Two Family Vehicles
|Ten people were involved in the two-car crash on Main Road. All were wearing seat belts and only one incurred minor injuries. Both vehicles were totaled.
STAMFORD, Vt. — A Rowe family was involved in a two-car accident on Sunday afternoon when a car driven by the husband was rear-ended by the car driven by the wife.
State Police responded to the accident at about 1 p.m. on Main Road, north of the town center.
According to Trooper Lauren Ronan, both vehicles involved were owned by Clifford Paige, 39 of Rowe. One of the vehicles, a red 1994 Honda Civic coupe was being operated by Paige; the other vehicle involved, a gray 2005 Ford Focus, was being operated by his wife, Mary Paige.
There were four of their children in each vehicle and the conditions were cloudy with drizzle and wet pavement.
The crash occurred when Clifford Paige slammed on his brakes while arguing with his son, said Ronan. Mary Paige was driving behind her husband and was unable to stop her vehicle. She collided into the rear end of the Civic, causing extensive damage to the front end of her vehicle. The collision pushed the Civic into the guard rail, causing extensive damage.
All of the occupants were wearing their seat belts, however, one child was transported to North Adams (Mass.) Regional hospital for a small abrasion and release shortly afterward.
Both vehicles are believed to be totaled. Paige was issued a ticket for stopping on the roadway.
Stamford Fire Department, North Adams Ambulance Service and a Bennington County deputy sheriff also responded to the scene.

What's the difference between an essay and an article?
Somebody ask me to write an essay, and I am wondering what's the difference between an essay and an article?
I beleive that an essay is where you write your own thoughts and point of view of the subject matter. On the other hand, an article (usually associated with article marketing) is where you write about the topic from all perspective in the interest of your goal for writing that article.
Hope you can share your thoughts.
Thanks a lot.

I didn't check the appliances! I didn't check the appliances!
It brought to mind a client's statement that I quote over and over and over again: "If you don't keep your house up, it becomes an overwhelming proposition." If you haven't made any changes since the 80's or 90's (or especially the 70's) it's probably time! If you have classic and/or antique furniture, lighting and rugs, good hardwood/stone floors, shutters, wood blinds or simple drapes on your windows, you might get a pass (maybe partial). Good wood kitchen cabinets, stone or some kind of resin countertops, little or no shiny brass (other than maybe door hardware) and well-selected art and accessories can also keep your home from being OLD.
But, if you're surrounded with radius corners on laminate furniture, fake hand-painted fabrics, mauve (or peach) and gray color scheme, tile (esp. 8x8) with wide grout lines (unless it's natural clay tile), faux Art Deco, short vertical or micro mini blinds (esp. silver), VERY dark red, green or lots and lots of black-brown, foil or complicated textured wallpapers it's time to update. Also in that list: colored appliances, Lucite and metal sconces (although the furniture is good), upholstered "bun feet", or bleached oak floors.
If you are buying new (or new for you) items, replace dated pieces with classical styles or vintage/antiques, which are past being a "rage". That does NOT mean traditional or old-fashioned!! If you want to re-decorate as a hobby and to continue changing things every couple of years, spend accordingly. Most of us don't have time, access, money or interest to do that. Put together creative color combinations (again, NOT what everyone else has) and you will be set for a much longer time. A design theory lesson is that you can combine any colors together in the proper amounts: Color 101.
You can update with big items like new furniture, an all-new kitchen or all new floors, or you can update PLENTY with paint, new window coverings, counter tops, backsplash tile, and/or accessories. Find colors to repaint which work with your older furnishings (incl. cabinets, etc). Rip out old wall to wall carpet and put in a pre-finished floor (or re-carpet). Switch things around: dump the peach abstract prints with the matching ceramics. Go to the Art Center in Highland Park and donate to their "Recycled Art Fair" in July, or give the old stuff to Goodwill and find something new (or new for you) to change things up. I have never seen so much 80's art as last summer in HP. -- Maybe research (at least on eBay) to check if the art has enough value for you to sell it and get cash instead.
Limit the "do it yourself" to what you CAN do; what's listed above could be more than you're able to do alone. It could be time for Professional help (Design kind).
If you're up for something different & have fun, Chicago is full of art fairs, flea markets, garage and rummage sales all summer. And keep in mind that many of the established art fairs like 57th Street this coming weekend and Old Town, have adjacent fairs that could be more affordable. Toss out the old, freshen up, & perhaps don't start all over - yet.

A self portrait of sorts.
Started out painting over an image and did the second half freehand.
My goofy dragon I did for fun
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 16 hours.
A 2 hour painting I did for a speed painting challenge.
my first attempt at back lighting.
All taken from internet pictures (softcore porn anyone?) and sketched on cheap paper.
I really need work here...

hey man got a good start here bravo, keep at those figure drawings as they seem to need the most work when compared to the standard of your digital paintings
thanks, and no kidding... figure drawing kills me, always has.
anyone know any good resources for it? im stuck in Japan at the moment and finding a figure drawing class will be hard enough, stomaching what will surely be an insane price will be even harder. my gf wont let me get near her with my camera, much less with clothes off. im going to go into the city today and take my camera, but does anyone else have any suggestions?
some more practice nudes i did today. these things sure kick my arse.
Men are somewhat ok because i have found that i can use muscle locations for reference in building the structure, but women give me all kinds of trouble.
(sorry the image is funky, i had to adjust the image i got from my camera cause it was awful. no scanner...)
well today's stuff didnt turn out real well. the left two are from reference, the right one is from my head... speaking of heads, his in in the wrong place. think im gonna go screw around digital for a bit now...
howdy again
here is today's stuff. for some reason it always looks better WHEN im doing it. then i step back afterwards and think "wtf"... but oh well. live and learn.
if anyone has ANY feedback, suggestions, anything, please let me know. thanks! I really want to figure out what it is that's holding me back, askide from lots more practice. but these just dont look very fluid or convincing. *sigh* (oh, and the levels were slightly altered in PS on these so that you could see them clearer as i dont have a scanner... )
I tried to speed things up today. i got several sketches finished in the time it was taking me to do one just a week ago... quality isnt increasing much yet, but i'm hoping that will come. as always (although i never get any ) c&c are welcome.
Nice work.
Well today i went to norther Osaka to the 1970 expo grounds. came back dead ass tired so this is all i got done. i think i will do more with it tomorrow as it looks ok. gonna build me a cyborg. the character's left arm shoudl be big, but the rest should be mostly correct i hope. this is done without reference. C&C greatly appreciated.
(... his feet suck. will fix those tomorrow)
alright... i finished sketching up that cyborg in painter. i will say now i am really unhappy with it, but i already spent too long on it. any suggestions are welcome. =) (the head is really bad... by the time i got to it, i knew i wasnt liking it much any more)
My heads are horrid so i thought i would spend some time studying an artist i really admire. ( Kim Hyung-Tae ) His faces are really top notch if you are into the whole anime look.
so here you have it. C&C greatly appreciated.
too much sake (japanese alcohol) tonight so no update for the first time in a week... damn. not much feedback though so im gonna take this moment to say...
Please please please please give me feedback on what you see here. tear me a new one, i dont care, i want to improve.
thanks and have a good night!
Tonight's work.
all done from picture references from the web. the bottom left one was my last and i was getting tired... the model was beautiful... too bad i couldnt do her justice. comments, suggestion, scoldings... all welcome!
- I think it's official... I am the world's slowest painter
nice lifedrawings and some of the manga faces are lookin' overall good
(i wont go in particulearly detail cuz i hat mange personaly )
But some of the faces are abit out of proportion. That dragon is priceless,
got such a funny aditude atached to it, really catched my eye, bravo dude =)
Keep up with the life drawings,
keep up the updates at regular speed and il come back later

Nvidia's efforts in the mobile world have largely been confined to producing Tegra processors for smartphone and tablet makers. However, according to Russian site Mobile Review, the company will soon branch out and start producing complete tablets and smartphones based on those chips. These systems will reportedly resemble white-label designs, and they'll apparently be offered to other firms to sell as their own, either with or without Nvidia branding. Word is that the devices will target the low end of the spectrum, so they probably won't compete with the iPad or iPhone. It looks like the focus may be on markets outside North America, at least to start.
The article outlines good reasons for Nvidia to produce its own devices. However, the translation I'm reading seems to stop short of providing specific evidence or citing sources. (My hastily Photoshopped spy shot doesn't count.) Instead, Mobile Review seems to be saying that a bunch of very similar 7" and 10" tablets will hit the market in the May-June timeframe. I guess we won't have to wait too long to see if the story is legit.
Now, it wouldn't be completely out of character for Nvidia to produce turnkey products for others to brand as their own. The company has done just that with certain graphics cards, including the GeForce GTX 690. For a time, it also made motherboards that were ready for repackaging by other firms. Building a tablet would be a little different, but Nvidia surely gained some valuable experience on that front by developing its Project Shield gaming handheld, which combines a Tegra 4 processor with a 5" screen and a console-style controller.
Nvidia would risk alienating some of its customers by producing devices that ultimately compete with their products. However, it could also gain customers who lack the resources to produce their own. I suspect some carriers might be interested in slapping their logos on reference smartphones, tablets, and even set-top boxes. It sure would be nice if those devices were all equipped to offer a good streaming gaming experience from a local PC. Thanks to PC Perspective for the tip.

This guy's insanely long list of relationship dealbreakers excludes literally every woman on earth
Last August, a man messaged Emily through OK Cupid. When she checked out his profile to see if she might be interested in him she discovered the most thorough list of dating dealbreakers imaginable.
She took screen caps and posted them for the rest of us to be shocked and entertained by. When you think you're coming to the end, you're not. They just keep going…
(via Buzzfeed)
Considering this guy's absurd expectations, if you actually read through all those, that probably disqualifies you.
Disappointing, I know.

Fashion Week is an international event where thousands of people migrate to the style capitals of the world to get the scoop on the latest runway trends. September 4th kicks of the start of one of the top 4 fashion showcases in the entire world, New York Fashion Week. Everyone is just dying to get to NYFW…Vogue Editor Anna Wintour, Stylist Michaela Erlanger, just about ever fashion blogger, and even lil ol' me.
But have you ever stopped and wondered, Where did the idea of Fashion Week come from? And just why in heavens name did the fashion genius behind this put together such a grueling showcase?
Well, heres the story for you…
Prior to World War II, the New York fashion scene didn't get any playtime. Paris, France was at the forefront of all International Fashion. Popular magazines like Vogue and Harper's Bazaar solely featured Parisian couture designs which led American Journalists and everyday women to scout out inspiration and couture pieces from French Designers.
Now, remember this year: 1943
During the year of 1943, France, by now a major participant in WWII, was occupied by Nazi Germany. Since the Nazi soldiers were a major threat at the time, it was practically impossible for International Journalist to enter Paris to attend the well popular fashion shows and events.
Eleanor Lambert, a publicist from New York, saw this as an opportunity to enhance the reputation of American Fashion and solidify a position for local couture designers in international fashion. She created a fashion showcase called Press Week. Now, before Eleanor's Press Week, regional journalist could never fully cover designers because they were only allowed to shadow buyers in local stores. However, Press Week solely granted international and regional media access to the American fashion showcase.
The first showcase was held at the Plaza Hotel and featured 53 shows in the form of a block schedule. Press received packages containing photographs of the couture pieces and press releases. As for buyers, they were required to schedule a showroom visit to view all of the collections featured on the runways.
Less than half of the journalist she sent an invite to attended Press Week, but it was enough to make the event an instant international success and ultimately, create history. The Daily News, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar now boasted of American Collections featured at Press Week.
Press Week continued to take place in different NYC locations throughout the years. Designers staged shows at local restaurants, hotels, and lofts until 1990 when an unfortunate incident occurred at a Michael Kors show involving an injured runway model.
The director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (also founded by Eleanor), Fern Mallis quickly took action and relaunched Press Week as New York Fashion Week under the tents of Bryant Park in the spring of 1994. Celebrities, stylists, editors, and major sponsors like Mercedes Benz flocked to the annual event. Unfortunately, the tents of Bryant Park were to small to sustain the growing crowd, so the Council and IMG Fashion decided to permanently station the event at a new location, the Lincoln Center.
The Lincoln Center annually harbors one of the most iconic fashion shows in the world and some of most talented designers of the decade. Although, Fashion Week was created for other purposes, we can't deny the fact that even under immense pressure and hectic schedules, it peacefully unites people from all walks of life for an evening of admiration and inspiration!

I'd like to have a javascript function called on page load and unload which will set and unset a session variable. Currently the javascript (in line with PHP) looks like this (uses jQuery)
window.onbeforeunload = function() {
$(document).ready(function() {
These are included in a php script where $id is a variable passed to the page. Example.php is a script called using ajax which simply adds the variable $id to an array stored as a $_SESSION variable, if dir=1, and removes the variable from the array if dir=0.
The issue is that this just SOMETIMES works as expected. When I load the page, the session array is always updated properly. When I unload the page, it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. My guess is that since these are async functions, the variable is being set by the .ready function call, AFTER a page unload. But the inconsistency persists even if I let the page sit for a while, then unload it. Is there something I'm doing wrong in the unload function?
Tried setting ajax:false in the post call
Tried using the
$(window).unload()jQuery construct, which just didn't work.
Using Google Chrome

A Journalist's Risks
Dying to Tell a Story
The Veronica Guerin Story
When Veronica Guerin was murdered in June 1996, she was not only the most famous journalist in Ireland; she was something of a national heroine. Her exposes on the criminal underworld in Dublin and the violent rise of powerful drug dealers captured the nation's attention. Her murder touched off the largest criminal investigation in Irish history. Moreover, her death transformed the country in ways few could have expected.
Veronica "Ronnie" Guerin was born in Dublin, Ireland on July 5, 1959. On June 26, 1996 Guerin became the twenty-fourth journalist to be killed for her writings to the public. She was a journalist working for the Sunday Independent when she was assassinated by Irish drug dealers while sitting in her car at an intersection on the Naas dual carriageway.
What made her stand up and decide that enough was enough, that something had to be said about the drugs in Dublin when no one else would? It was as simple as seeing what needed to be changed in her city. She didn't have illustrious beginnings, one that would fuel her passion for journalism and for bringing the truth to light. She was born to a large family and grew up in North Dublin. She was educated by nuns in Killester and attended Trinity College where she developed a strong interest in politics. She studied accountancy at the college, before joining her father's accountancy firm; she would later bring this experience into her investigations on fraud. After leaving her accountancy job, she started her own public relations firm before joining the Sunday Business Post.
But it was at the Sunday Tribune that her reputation began to grow as an investigative journalist when she got the first interview with Bishop Eamon Casey. He had fled to Ecuador when his affair and his son were revealed to the world in a book.
In 1994 she joined the Sunday Independent, where she began publishing the interviews with members of the Irish underworld that led to her death. Ironically, she was assassinated two days before she was supposed to speak at a conference in London on "Dying to Tell a Story: Journalists at Risk." Guerin had her own style of writing that set her apart from other journalists. Her editor at the Sunday Independent, Willie Kealy, believes she provided a different voice than those that were present in Irish journalism at the time, someone who was unafraid to break out of the mould.

Today I'm gonna tell you about history of st patricks day. On the 17th of March is celebrated as the st patricks day birthday. It has the great history & secrets behind this day. Some rumors are there but here you will find actual history which was really happened in the past.
St. Patrick, or the "Apostle of Ireland," actually started out in pagan religion. While much of his early life, as the details of his life were lost in folklore is known about St. Patrick's paper shows that Wales, Scotland, and Ireland out another was captured in the area and taken to Ireland as a slave. Years later, he ran and his family, living in Roman Britain a cleric as bishop within Christianity and then find a place back to mission work were returned to Ireland. He was born around 460, and 600s, he already was known as the patron saint of Ireland.
There are many legends associated with St Patrick. St. Patrick's Day, St. Patrick used the shamrock to symbolize the Holy Trinity using the shamrock to illustrate the story comes from. Three-leafed plant number three began with the purity of the pagan religions and is the root of the green theme.
Another popular belief is that St. Patrick banished snakes from Ireland. The story says that when St. Patrick was fast, the snake attacked him, so he chased all the snakes in the sea. However, there are no snakes in Ireland ever been during the glacial period. Snakes and snake symbols involved with is the lack of confidence to be able to explain the story, instead of referring to it is worm snake. While the legend of St. Patrick's ground campaign, which has resulted in a tree sticking a stick. This is the history of st patricks day which was really happened.
The first st patricks day birthday in 1737 was celebrated in America Charitable Irish Society of Boston, including a banquet organized by the religious service. The first celebration of the holiday in honor of the colonies and the Irish culture that was different from so many colonies was largely to celebrate.
The modest initial event continued the tradition. In New York, the first celebration at the home of an Irish Protestant, as a small gathering took place. St. Patrick's Day Parade, British troops marched down Broadway in New York in 1762 by a group of Irish soldiers started. The parade began the tradition of a military facility, as they often lead military states. At the end of the holiday dinner raucous holiday we know today evolved from a marginal religious.

Sullivan Tire hires 3 from former Century TireComments Email
NORWELL, Mass. (April 7, 2014) — Sullivan Tire & Auto Service recently hired three employees from the recently closed Century Tire Co. and offered to honor former customers' warranties with dealership.
Portland, Maine-based Century Tire closed its doors in February after 88 years in business upon the retirement of its owner and president, Dick Aronson.
"Much like Sullivan Tire, Century Tire is a family-run business that treated both its staff and customers like family. It's with heavy hearts that we see a local business close its doors, but it is our pleasure to welcome some of their dedicated employees to the Sullivan Tire team. We wish Dick and his family all the best in retirement," said Sullivan Tire Vice President Paul Sullivan.
Sullivan Tire has hired Eric Anderson, previously a store manager for Century Tire, as a counter/service writer at its Portland location; Gordon Driskell as an ASE Master Technician for the Scarborough store; and Roger Bouchard as an auto technician for the Portland store.
Sullivan Tire said it will support former customers of Century Tire by honoring the company's free tire rotations and all manufacturer tire warranties.
"Because we want to 'Keep You Rolling,' we have been assured by the Sullivan Tire Co. management that they will honor our free tire rotations and all manufacturer tire warranties. Just go to any of their many locations and tell them that the boys from Century Tire Co. sent you! You will receive the same service and courtesy you have become accustomed to from us. They, too, have a free courtesy shuttle for your convenience," Mr. Aronson said in a letter to his customers.
Sullivan Tire operates 66 auto repair locations and 15 commercial truck tire centers in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Maine.

For better or for worse, Nokia has become a stalwart champion of Microsoft's Windows Phone software. Now, rumor has it the Finnish phone maker may be cooking up a Windows RT tablet, too—and the device could premiere in a couple of months.
DigiTimes reports that Nokia "is likely to unveil the model" at next year's Mobile World Congress, which is taking place in Barcelona on February 25-28. The site's sources claim Nokia had plans for such a device before, but those plans were postponed after Microsoft announced its own Surface tablet.
The delayed Nokia device reportedly featured a 10-inch display and a Qualcomm S4 processor, and Nokia had tapped Compal to mass-produce it. DigiTimes doesn't say if the specs have changed, but it claims Nokia has spoken with Qualcomm and Compal about "cooperation . . . to resume development" of the device.
If Nokia does release a Windows RT tablet, I hope it shoots for a lower price point than others have so far. Microsoft's own Surface starts at $499, and the cheapest alternative listed on Newegg is the $549 VivoTab RT (which, to its credit, does come with a free keyboard dock if users register online). That's still awfully pricey when you can get an iPad for $500—or a Nexus 10 for $399.

text: Posted November 28, 2012 Which of the MNF performances that I listed do you think was a better performance than last night and why? It is a great performance and is undoubtably the best statistical performance of a panthers QB on MNF I am considering other factors such as quality of the opponent and our own record which is marginal to say the least. To me this is a great step in the right direction, he has improved on a weekly basis the past couple games, ultimately being an NFL Qb you are judged by W's great Qbs persevere and win, last night was a good example of this, all I'm saying is I want to see some consultancy and some more W's before crowning him, and that past MNF appearances are hardly a measuring stick for greatness, I want to see him put up the best panthers SB performance.

More Novels Starring Coins, Please, and Other News
May 16, 2016 | by Dan Piepenbring
- I find novels starring people—or any animate creatures, really—to be unthinkably dull. For this reason I do most of my reading in the mid to late eighteenth century, when novels with inanimate objects at their centers enjoyed a brief but memorable time in the literary limelight. The most famous one was told from the perspective of a coin: "Chrysal, or the Adventures of a Guinea thrilled contemporary readers with 'Views of several striking Scenes,' an insider's account of the scandalous doings of the 'most Noted Persons in every Rank of Life,' and tales from the gold mines of Peru, the streets of London, the canals of Amsterdam, the ports of the Caribbean, and the front lines of the Great War … It was a tipping point for what are frequently referred to as 'it-narratives.' It-narratives, also called 'novels of circulation' or 'object narratives,' are novels or stories that take an inanimate object or an animal as its narrator … With a market proven, writers for hire began churning them out with variable quality. By 1781, a bored reviewer in The Critical Review complained, 'This mode of making up a book, and styling it the Adventures of a Cat, a Dog, a Monkey, a Hackney-coach, a Louse, a Shilling, a Rupee, or—any thing else, is grown so fashionable now, that few months pass which do not bring one of them under our inspection.' "
- In which Nabokov, talking to us from 1926, attempts to make sense of his exile: "There is a very seductive and very dangerous demon: the demon of generalities. He captivates man's thought by marking every phenomenon with a little label, and punctiliously placing it together with another, similarly carefully wrapped and numbered phenomenon. Through him a field of human knowledge as changeable as history is turned into a neat little office, where this many wars and that many revolutions sleep in folders—and where we can pore over bygone ages in complete comfort. This demon is fond of words such as idea, tendency, influence, period, and era. In the historian's study this demon reductively combines in hindsight the phenomena, influences, and tendencies of past ages. With this demon comes appalling tedium—the knowledge (utterly mistaken, by the way) that, however humanity plays its hand or fights back, it follows an implacable course. This demon should be feared. He is a fraud. He is a salesman of centuries, pushing his historical price list."
- Today in dramatic acts of digital preservation: if ever the Daily shuts down, we hope to survive in a kind of bardic oral tradition, having former readers pass down our stories one at a time through the generations, at great length and with little regard for accuracy. The website hi.co, which I'd never heard of before about ten minutes ago, is taking fewer chances. Instead of vanishing into the mists of time, they're keeping their users' contributions "in a nickel-plate 'book' designed to be readable for the next 10,000 years … Everything on the site—roughly two million words and fourteen thousand photos—will be etched in microscopic size onto a series of nickel plates. Everything will be readable with an optical microscope." (One of the site's founders notes that the plates are "fire resistant" and "deal well with saltwater.")
- Some drink to remember, some drink to forget. Pour yourself a glass of marc and you can do both: "With marc, my favorite digestif, both the mortality and the miracle are there in the glass: sip it and you taste the pulverized remains (stems, grape skins, pips) of the wine refined to make it, as well as experiencing resurrection through distillation, in those unpromising oenological afterthoughts given new life. A marc is like a vanitas, the skull that artists once included in paintings to deliver a warning that no pleasure, however great, can last. Behind the smooth sophistication of strong, well-made alcohol, there is the musty hint of old grape skins—a pungent reminder that even the magic of alcohol cannot make a grape, or a drinker, eternal."
- Philosophy departments are among the most Eurocentric in all of academe—which is fine, as long as they practice truth in advertising. Write to your congressman: "Any department that regularly offers courses only on Western philosophy should rename itself 'Department of European and American Philosophy' … We hope that American philosophy departments will someday teach Confucius as routinely as they now teach Kant, that philosophy students will eventually have as many opportunities to study the Bhagavad Gita as they do the Republic, that the Flying Man thought experiment of the Persian philosopher Avicenna (980–1037) will be as well-known as the Brain-in-a-Vat thought experiment of the American philosopher Hilary Putnam (1926–2016), that the ancient Indian scholar Candrakirti's critical examination of the concept of the self will be as well-studied as David Hume's, that Frantz Fanon (1925–1961), Kwasi Wiredu (1931– ), Lame Deer (1903–1976) and Maria Lugones will be as familiar to our students as their equally profound colleagues in the contemporary philosophical canon. But, until then, let's be honest, face reality and call departments of European-American Philosophy what they really are."
To the Crematorium with Patricia, and Other News
October 16, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- Susan Howe on Wallace Stevens and just plain old liking the guy's poems: "The poetry of Wallace Stevens makes me happy. This is the simple truth. Pleasure springs from the sense of fluid sound patterns phonetic utterance excites in us. Beauty, harmony, and order are represented by the arrangement, and repetition, of particular words on paper. No matter how many theoretical and critical interpretations there are, in the end each new clarity of discipline and delight contains inexplicable intricacies of form and measure … I don't often remember Stevens poems separately except for the early ones, but they all run together, the way Emerson's essays do, into one long meditation, moving like waves, and suddenly there is one perfect portal. The quick perfection."
- In 1987, Patricia Highsmith, then at her most misanthropic and having found a malignant tumor on her lung, paid a visit to Brooklyn, where she wrote an abortive essay for the New York Times about Green-Wood Cemetery. It never ran, perhaps because its pivotal moment finds her sticking her hand in an industrial furnace, still warm, at the crematorium. "The warmth of that retort, even though it may have come from a pilot flame, brought home death to me as none of the stone monuments above ground had," she writes. She also likens the cemetery to a passing garbage truck: "Its apparently inexhaustible drip of squashed vegetable matter or leftover orange juice reminds me of human mortality, with its attendant ugliness, stench and inevitability."
- Susan Cheever has looked into America's long lust for booze, and she's discovered a few things. First, that a drunk Nixon once claimed he'd made a great pope. And second, that the link between writers and alcohol is a fairly new one: "In the nineteenth century, writers didn't drink. Hawthorne, Melville, Thoreau, Emerson, Longfellow. Nope. No drinkers. It's not about the writers. It's about the drinking culture. Some writers drink a lot, so much so that the five people who won the Nobel Prize for literature were all alcoholics [Sinclair Lewis, Eugene O'Neill, William Faulkner, Ernest Hemingway, and John Steinbeck]. I hadn't really done the math, and then it occurred to me that, of course, it came out of Prohibition, that Prohibition made drinking that much more attractive to writers."
- Today in vintage hate-reads: a newly discovered transcript of Ayn Rand's remarks to the 1974 graduating class at West Point finds her up to her usual tricks, i.e., disguising out-and-out bigotry behind a tissue-thin veil of "philosophy." "Any white person who brings the elements of civilization had the right to take over this continent," Rand said to the group of dewy-eyed officers-to-be. "It is great that some people did, and discovered here what they couldn't do anywhere else in the world and what the Indians, if there are any racist Indians today, do not believe to this day: respect for individual rights … Racism didn't exist in this country until the liberals brought it up." Important words to remember the next time you spot a malleable young person reading The Fountainhead and claiming it's just "a really good story."
- Notes toward a theory of Playmobil, with its bizarre, intensely Euro-zone aesthetic, its fascination with the civil service, its tendency to exalt the bourgeois: "As I examined the Playmobil version of Vermeer's Milkmaid, I realized how Vermeer's popularity as a painter rests on the same sort of generic, domestic scenarios as Playmobil, with all those charming, joyful, bourgeois little details, the depiction of the everyday things of our lives … Next to Lego … Playmobil can seem downright dowdy and boring … One of the best-selling sets is a Christmas manger scene. The fastest-selling Playmobil figure of all time was launched this past winter: Martin Luther, complete with quill and German Bible!"
You Too Can Be a General
April 2, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
From Ernest Hemingway's letter to Colonel Charles T. Lanham, April 2, 1945. Hemingway described Lanham as "the finest and bravest and most intelligent military commander I have known"; he did, in fact, go on to make general. Original spelling and punctuation retained.
Now I just feel homesick, lonely and useless. But will pull out of it. Because have to.
Also have cut out heavy drinking … and since Liquor is my best friend and severest critic I miss it.

Operation Keep Faulkner Sober, and Other News
March 3, 2015 | by Dan Piepenbring
- After Faulkner won the Nobel Prize, he was a hot commodity abroad—he traveled to many foreign lands to bang the drum for the U. S. of A., which would've been fine, had he not been such a lush. The State Department circulated a memo called "Guidelines for Handling Mr. William Faulkner on His Trips Abroad," designed to help agents curb Faulkner's drinking. Their advice ranged from the obvious (monitor his liquor cabinet) to the subtle: "Keep several pretty young girls in the front two rows of any public appearance to keep his attention up."
- Twenty-five years late, a novelist has at last completed and delivered her tenth-grade term paper on Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Her (perhaps convenient) conclusion: it's about shame. "Like Tess, I spent a lot of time waiting to be found out: I worried that my adolescent failures would be exposed and that people would lose respect for me. Or love me less … Shame depends on an audience, and those who are ashamed become overly self-conscious. I'm aware, even now, of compensating for past mistakes."
- Why are there so many more aspiring writers than aspiring readers? "I try to take a philosophical, and I hope empathetic, view of it all. I mean, we're all going to die, and we have a short time here on earth, and we all want to achieve distinction of some sort while we're here. Meanwhile, we all have Microsoft Word installed on our desktops. We all already spend a lot of time typing. One way to leave one's mark would be to, say, write a great symphony, but most people don't know how to read music. Whereas more or less everyone does have the means to put down words on a page and save them and share them. That's a great thing—I'm all for technology eliminating barriers to communication and expression—but it can lead to delusions. Just because you've written it doesn't make it worth reading. And it's depressing when people forget that you can't be a good writer without first being a good reader."
- Paul Beatty has an enviable gift: he "can turn a sacred cow into hamburger with just one sentence." His new novel The Sellout takes on race in America, sparing "no person or piety": "The only tangible benefit to come out of the civil rights movement," he writes, "is that black people aren't as afraid of dogs as they used to be."
- René Magritte, comedian: "It's noticeable that many of the techniques Magritte uses for creating his mysterious images are to be found in comedy writing. His pictures are frequently structured like jokes … relying upon a simple (almost mathematical) function, like reversal or negation."
Gin, Cigarettes, and Desperation: The Carson McCullers Diet
July 29, 2013 | by Sadie Stein
From Modern Drunkard:
Carson liked sherry with her tea, brandy with her coffee, and her purse with a large flask of whiskey. Between books, when she was neither famous nor monied, she claimed she existed almost exclusively on gin, cigarettes, and desperation for weeks at a time. During her most productive years she employed a round-the-clock drinking system: she'd start the day at her typewriter with a ritual glass a beer, a way of saying it was time to work, then steadily sip sherry as she typed. If it was cold and there was no wood for the stove, she'd turn up the heat with double shots of whiskey. She concluded her workday before dinner, which she primed with a martini. Then it was off to the parties, which meant more martinis, cognac, and, oftentimes, corn whiskey. Finally, she ended the day as it began, with a bedtime beer.
Her recuperative abilities are the stuff of legend—she would rise the following morning, shake off her hangover like so much dust, down her morning beer, and get back to work.
And thank you, Michelle Dean, for drawing to our attention!
Drinking in the Golden Age
June 19, 2013 | by Ezra Glinter
We live in a golden age of booze. I realized this a few weeks ago while doing shots of samogon at Speed Rack, a women's bartending contest that had been described earlier in the evening as the "March Madness of boobies and booze" and the "roller derby of cocktail competitions." While I swilled Russian moonshine across from a giant ice sculpture shaped like a bottle of Chartreuse, Jillian Webster, a dirty-blond Angeleno in a sleeveless Budweiser T-shirt, dueled with Eryn Reece, a dark-haired New Yorker wearing the black-and-pink-flame Speed Rack top. As they scooped and stirred to the sounds of Motörhead's "Ace of Spades," the 500-strong crowd roared its encouragement. With frenzy of pouring and a smack of the buzzer, Reece pulled ahead, winning first place, bartender's glory, and a trip for two to France. Read More »
