We enjoyed our stay at Mark and Jennifer's Clark Point Inn Bed and Breakfast. Their inn is well-maintained and the 3-course breakfast is incredible! Jennifer and Mark gave great advice on where to go and what to do!

We traveled at peak summer season thought the price was very fair for our room. We have stayed at a few B&Bs (7 so far in new england all with great reviews) and would say this is top 1 maybe 2 for best breakfast. It's chef quality, gourmet, tasty,local organic and beautifully presented. If for some reason you don't like creative breakfasts menu is available day before and they're very accommodating. Innkeepers are friendly provides good advice/recommendations as expected. Cookies were great(favorite ginger molasses) and coffee/tea.espresso machine always available. Porch/4 season room is very cute, entire inn is clean and well maintained. The only thing that would be nice in the winter that the inn is lacking is a living room with a fireplace. Location is great by southwest harbor ferry dock on the quiet side of the island with bus stop right in front(only in summer peak times) and short drive to busy bar harbor. Highly recommend.

Clark Point Inn provided a friendly family atmosphere, a beautiful room, amazing breakfasts and gracious hospitality. The Inn will definitely be our destination when we return to Acadia, Maine.

We were very pleased with our stay in Southwest Harbor at the Clark Point Inn. Mark and Jennifer could not have been friendlier with good advice on where and what to see next as dictated by the weather. A three course breakfast started every day and treats were available in the dining area at all times. We had a very nice room with a gas fireplace and a lovely view of the harbor. We would certainly not have a problem recommending this place to anyone visiting the area and would very likely return ourselves should we come back to Maine.

We have been at The Clark Point Inn for a week. It is lovely with a most spectacular view of Southwest Harbor from our room. Jennifer makes a three course breakfast every morning including soufflés, fruit, frittatas, waffles, and eggs. And the daily cookies are a must have. The location is within walking distance of the town and there are many other streets close by providing great walks. It would be a pleasure to return here. Thanks Mark and Jennifer for a wonderful visit.

We stayed here for two nights to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and it was perfect! The food was amazing and the place was pristine! We would definitely go there again and we were glad that we didn't stay on bar harbor! It was quiet and peaceful and an easy drive away from the hustle and bustle.

My husband and I stayed at the inn for 2 nights to celebrate his graduate degree. The ratings of outstanding are all well deserved. The inn is beautifully maintained and decorated. Our room while on the 3rd floor and a bit of climb, was lovely. Most B&B's don't have televisions which is nice, but it was also very nice to have television and DVD player in the room to enjoy a movie at the end of a day of sightseeing in the beautiful Southwest Harbor area. Jennifer and Mark prepared and served a fabulous breakfast each morning. The food was delicious with a gorgeous presentation. They were warm and welcoming. We felt like welcome guests in their lovely home. We will definitely stay here again when in the area.

We stayed at Clark Point Inn for 6 days, and it was a fabulous choice. Not wanting to stay in the busy, bustling, bus loaded zone of Bar Harbor, we choose the Inn which was a brilliant decision. We were greeted warmly by Jennifer & Mark to a Inn which took you back in time with the lovely antique furniture and glassware throughout. Our room, Jordyn Lea, was also lovely with a comfy loveseat & comfortable bed & beautiful views of the Harbor. Awakening each morning to the delicous smells wafting up from the kitchen set the pace for the day. Jennifer & Mark, both accomplished self taught cooks, surprised us each morning with a mouth~watering 3 course breakfast, including fresh fruit kicked up a notch (Brueled Grapefruit), souflees, crepes, waffles, muffins & perfectly cooked egg dishes. This set us up to enjoy a day of hiking and exploring the Acadia National Park only 30 min drive away. Returning to the Inn in the afternoon you are greeted with cheese & crackers, and later in the evening after having a fabulous meal at Red Sky Restaurant &/or Fiddlers (both within walking distance of the Inn) you are greeted with yummy cookies. Espresso available all day and an extensive tea selection end your evening. If we found ourselves back in Maine, we would happily visit Jennifer & Mark.

When Lucy Mackall Suggests Her Customers Tie One On, She Means Her Fancy Shoelaces
Though priced at no more than $2 a pair, Lucy's lively laces are bringing in up to $600,000 a month. From her Cambridge, Mass. headquarters, she shipped four million pairs last year to some 6,500 outlets in the U.S. and Europe, Japan and South Africa. Lucy's wares are not for the indecisive—they come in 40 colors and 80 designs. The bright bows are flapping many fashionable feet (Cathy Lee Crosby, Barbi Benton and Nancy Sinatra) and some of the largest (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).
A shrewd eye and a fanciful imagination brought Mackall, 34, her bonanza. While prowling a trade show two years ago for items to stock in her Lucy's Canvas gift boutiques, she spied a dusty display card of patterned shoelaces. Mackall persuaded the manufacturer to make her a batch imprinted with tiny hearts and to sell them to her cut-rate. "The laces just flew out of the door," she recalls. "I sent the company more money with the instruction, 'Don't stop printing until I tell you to.' "
She hasn't stopped the presses yet. There was one setback. General Mills, which owns the Izod/LaCoste alligator trademark, sued Mackall last November for copyright infringement. Lucy agreed out of court to banish the beast from her products.
Only a few loyal friends banked on Lucy when she started her first enterprise in 1974. Her initial idea was to sell canvas log carriers. When they didn't catch fire, she converted the carriers into bright tote bags and sold $4,000 worth in a week at a crafts fair in Rhinebeck, N.Y. By 1976 she had parlayed that success into the first Lucy's Canvas boutique in Boston's newly renovated Faneuil Hall Marketplace. Her stores are now located in eight cities, mostly in Massachusetts.
Mackall grew up in a wealthy household in Greenwich, Conn. "People like a rags-to-riches story, not a riches-to-more-riches story," she admits. "But what do you want me to tell you, that my father was a plumber?" He was a steel sales executive who until recently thought his daughter should have been a secretary. Instead, after graduating from Wheaton College in 1969, she moved to the Boston area. There she waitressed at Anthony's Pier 4 restaurant and later built models for an architectural firm until "my brain started to rot." Eventually she struck out on her own and went, as she amends, "from bags to riches."
Lately Mackall has begun franchising Have-a-Heart stores, which are stocked with an array of heart-festooned T-shirts and knickknacks. Her own heart could be busier, though. "The list of men who don't feel threatened by me is getting smaller and smaller," she laments. Keeping busy, Lucy oversees work on a house she is having built in Cambridge, and is toying with having big hearts embedded in the concrete driveway. Voilà, designer macadam. It seems that designers, even more than nature, abhor a vacuum.

Review by:
Chris Yglesias
on Jan. 22, 2012 :
I just finished Lawrence Cirell's "The Exit Broker" and found it about as thought provoking a novel as I've read in some time. While I assume (I hope) it was written tongue in cheek, it really did in a humorous way make you wonder if this sort of "population editing" (I loved that term) really does go on. I also thought it should be on the must-
read list of the "one percenters" (to take a term from the Occupy Wall Street movement). The novel shows that if the only criteria for right or wrong is profitability (see banking from 1990-2008) than the corporations in The Exit Broker should be esteemed and even bailed out if they need it! The characters seemed real, and strangely likable for all their flaws. The plot stretched credibility at times, but Cirelli pulled it off well enough to make his point. If
you're looking for something to read that's the same old same old or politically correct, don't even think of reading this one.

"Some events do take place but are not true; others are—although they never occurred" (Elie Wiesel)
As some of you may know, I come to fandom studies late and via circuitous (or rather, purely nonacademic fannish) routes. My training's in postmodern literature, and my academic work before fandom all circled around various versions of the relationship between ethics and aesthetics, literature and Truth, and history and storytelling. I think it is this tenuous hold we tend to have on "truth" and "reality" that has been holding my academic fascination with media fandom, both in its analytic responses to media texts as well as in its (as I've argued in my first essay on popslash, Digital Get Down [ETA: This is definitely not one of my better pieces, but it's the one that addresses the postmodern issue most explicitly]) quite postmodern construction of shared canon. (This is much more obvious in RPF, where fans literally pick and choose what will be considered canon in their interpretive community [1], but the same can be said for FPF as well, given the wealth of text, often created over an extended length of time with multiple writers.)
If fandom itself can be characterized by several postmodern characteristics (including the destabilizing of truth, reality, identity, and consistency) [2], then postmodern fannish narratives who actually thematize these various challenges to a stable modernist world view and its associated closed narrative are particular interesting. In the following, I want to look at a particular story, its reception, and the way both play out and illustrate some of the arguments I've made about fanfiction and, in particular, what I want to call the fantext. [3] Much of this is drawn from my presentation at Console-ing Passions 06 (abstract is here) and the following will spoil Speranza's Written By the Victors as well as all three so far aired seasons of Atlantis.
Written By the Victors (9-05-07) is a novel-length Stargate Atlantis story in which Stargate Command demands that the city of Atlantis leave its current planet in the Pegasus Galaxy and fly to Earth to protect it. Military commander John Sheppard and head of science Rodney McKay (the central slash pairing in the story) rebel against their immediate superior, sending her—and all others who do not side with them—back to Earth, declare Atlantis's independence, and break with Earth entirely. Becoming supreme but benign ruler of the city, they begin to create a central market place for all of Pegasus, and, as a diplomatic stroke of genius, Sheppard marries his teammate Teyla Emmagen, Pegasus native, to assure his alliance and demonstrate his solidarity with this galaxy rather than his own. A diplomatic envoi from Earth (sent by ship since the stargate remains closed for Earth) studies the thriving colony but is sent back at gunpoint when one of them tries to assassinate Sheppard. With this mission gone awry, Earth attempts to browbeat Atlantis into submission, but Atlantis, which had been preparing for a battle with the evil of that galaxy, suddenly faces a dilemma which they resolve by taking arms against the Earth ships. Whereas the historical Earth documents seem to suggest that Atlantis did not survive that encounter, the story's Epilogue consists of a variety of future Atlantis documents, clearly indicating that the city survived and its inhabitants thrived. The last two texts are not in English and the final one not in Roman letters and thus leave the reader with an incomprehensible, open ended text.
The events are related mostly chronologically, but consist of multiple accounts, often mutually contradictory, ranging from a variety of academic analyses and eyewitness accounts to some documents and a seemingly more truthful narrative. In so doing, Victors mirrors fannish and academic disputes in analysis and interpretation by asking the reader to weigh the different historical accounts and documents against one another. As I've argued before, fan fiction does not consist only of individual works of art but must be approached as a collectively written, highly intertextual, internally contradictory text which is continually being written through the use of various modes of interface. It is this aspect that Victors itself and comments on and illustrates. After all, the story already contains multiple contradictory accounts, different stylistic and generic documents that ask the reader to understand that any true account, any attempt to know what "really" happened, is foreclosed and can only be circumscribed by these multiple sources. The comparison between academic and fannish discourses has been often repeated (and challenged by Matt Hills, for example); however, by presenting proper academic debates over the very subjects fans tend to debate (i.e., were John and Rodney lovers and if yes, when, and how does canon/history support this), Speranza offers us a fictional text that allows us to see the similarities without collapsing the differences.
In fact, even as the text seems to offer us a "truer" version of the events as it juxtaposes the contradictory historians with a third person live action narrative that tells us what "truly" happened, I'd maintain that we are merely offered yet another version of events. After all, the narrative in tight third person is but one point of view and though it allows us to believe in a true corrective of the clearly flawed historical interpretations, it simultaneously—when read within the larger context of varying interpretations of these characters in the multitude of analyses and stories—offers simply yet another version. Even though the story doesn't signpost the narrative as yet another flawed version that can at best approximate the truth, that can offer but *a* truth, its situatedness within fannish debates as well as its otherwise clearly more complex understanding of historical certainty invites a more critical reading of these sections. This section, of course, looks most like traditional fanfiction and, as such, pretends to offer a more privileged (or possibly even better) account of these characters and their dynamic (if only for the extent of this story), but the existence of thousands of accounts many of which are equally read and cherished and recced indicates that while we may hope to understand these guys *better* than the often thin versions portrayed on screen, we are also all to aware that the very complexity we add is in part the multiple interpretations we know coexist.
As if this polyphonic presentation weren't enough, the consequent reception of the story has created an amazing array of multi-media artifacts that accompany, comment on, analyze, and illustrate various aspects of this particular universe. In other words, as Victors mirrors not only academic but also fannish behaviors, the story's reception, in turn, performs the very fannish aspect Speranza is describing in the first place: illustrations, vids, missing scenes, post-scripts, missing Atlantean and other documents and academic analyses thereof, podcasts and the various artifacts sung and recited, and other fannish artifacts all add to and thus expand this fictional universe. Reading the various artistic and theoretical texts as one, we effectively have a multi-authored, multi-threaded, multimedia and multi-generic artifact. In so doing, this co-created fannish space of the story and its extended fantext metonymically illustrates media fandom's dynamic that the story already mirrored. In a metonymic mise-en-abyme, fandom, SGA fandom, the story's fandom, and the story itself all reflect one another in their postmodern inability to ascertain one truth or even desire one interpretation.
The Atlantean documents are particularly interesting, since they effectively become part of the larger text by fully embracing its conceit of an independently evolved Atlantian culture whose historians have mythologized the events that to us are (albeit fictional) present. One of the most fascinating pieces is The Iohannes Cash Poem, which presents the image of a manuscript in Atlantean writing and is clearly an old document kept in collection and analyzed in the academic (historical and literary) discussion underneath. Whereas some of the other documents created by fans as Atlantean artifact are completely made up, however, this is, indeed Johnny Cash's "Walk the Line." Sheppard is canonically a Cash fan, and the serious discussion that tries to date the poem, track down Iohannes Cash's Atlantean roots, and ventures to suggest that the poem might be a commission by Sheppard for his lover all are amusing as commentary both on academia (i.e., how much do *we* get wrong in our historical or biographical guessing games) and fandom (we can turn *anything* into a fannish artifact, even a country song), but to see it as a big joke would miss the point: the fannish creation is as heartfelt and careful and beloved as the scholar's completely ludicrous analysis, i.e., we're aware of what lengths we go to, but that doesn't make it any less meaningful. In fact, in response to the poem's presentation and analysis, another fan offered a liturgical version of the poem.
I've spend this much time discussing one particular artifact, because it's important to not just think of fantext as a whole—even though I do think it's important to do that as well—but to acknowledge that every single text is already layered and meaningful and intertextual and part of a complex social network, in this case the reception of the show and of the story in turn. But it is that very intertextuality that makes it often difficult to analyze any text independently. Looking at the collected artistic and theoretical writings within a given fandom, we can see how a literary analysis of only a single fan story may be flawed in its restrictedness, how the text when seen as part of a larger whole partakes in creating an artifact whose sum is more than its parts insofar as it illuminates the centrality of intertextuality that suffuses all of fanfiction.
While all of these texts that partake of Speranza's universe clearly exist within the same story space, I want to suggest that the fantext does something quite similar yet includes all story spaces that one way or another connect to the original source text. Such a text is clearly multi-authored, since every creating fan contributes; it is clearly multi-generic and multimedia insofar as it contains stories, poems, fanvids, fanart, fan manipulations, even audioposts and fannish blogs. Finally, the fantext is a multi-threaded narrative, literally, as readers decide on their own which story recommendation or announcement they might follow, which critical analysis they might read, and metaphorically, since any number of stories return to the same moment in the source text, narrating alternate versions that coexist. As such, the fantext is internally contradictory with parts that at times complement, at others clearly contradict themselves. Just like Victors historical sources conflict, just like the various fannish responses to the text employ multiple genres and media to create a shared universe, so all of fannish responses to a text can be understood as multiple contradictory and complementary narratives all responding to the same source text but also one another.
Given these internal contradictions, one might ask why we should read all of a fandom's fan creations as one text. After all, we rarely do so with even one author's entire work [leaving aside such unusual cases like Faulkner whose works purposefully inhabit the same fictional universe]? Unlike most non-fanfiction writing, every single piece of fanfiction, fan commentary, or fanart relies—however loosely—on the same central source text; indeed, fanvids, fan manipulations, icons, or audio pieces tend to actually use parts of the source text itself. As such, the texts inhabit one shared ontological story space—albeit one that encompasses multiple universes. The term fantext implies more than just a joint central text, however. In fact, beyond their obvious intertextuality with the source text, most fan stories are also intertextual with one another. Every fan story is in conversation not only with the source text but usually also with other stories in the fandom and the discussions that permeate the community. As such, it seems useful to not look at a story as if it were a distinct and isolated piece of art but acknowledge its social and communicative aspects. No writing occurs in a vacuum, instead drawing from and responding to previous texts and the writer's cultural context. Fan stories, however, tend to do so to a much greater degree: they are always a response to the source text, often are produced in communication with several other fans, and likely to be part of a conversation with other stories and discussions. In fact, while some stories are written to last and can be read by anyone unfamiliar with the source text, a large (if not larger) number of stories rely on an audience that is familiar not only with the source text but also with the fantext, or with a specific permutation thereof. More generally, any story that engages and plays with fannish tropes relies on an informed audience. As such, writers negotiate between different interpretations of the characters, their dynamics, and general canon events. Any new implementation is influenced to varying degrees by the show itself, the writers' personal relationship with the characters and also by fandom's response in discussions and stories. In fact, one of the most fascinating aspects of the fan community is the way people share ideas, brainstorm together, co-write, beta one another's stories, the way ideas travel and get picked up in different venues and forms by different fans.
In the case of Victors, for example, even as The Iohannes Cash Poem is clearly a result of the story, it also is in response to the story's reception, to the source text itself and, possibly, to other fannish artifacts, such as Lim's Sheppard-focused vid to Cash's "The Mercy Seat." In fact, even if the author never saw or heard of the vid, as *I* am reading the poem I recall the story and the vid and any number of Sheppard characterizations along the way. Thus, I want to be really careful, though, not to suggest that every reader has access to and knowledge of the same fantext. Some writers may work from the source text alone, never interacting with other fans while others work from nothing but so-called fanon with no knowledge of the source text whatsoever. Most readers/writers are situated somewhere in between, affecting and being affected by stories, analyses, discussion, and debates. But even when the intertextualities are clearly given (as in the song created for the poem created for the story that rewrites a particular TV show), no two reading experiences are ever alike, in the way every fan reads a different selection of stories in different permutation, thus creating a very personal and idiosyncratic text. One may not even have to read certain stories to make them part of one's personal fantext; extensive debates and general awareness may be completely sufficient because as others talk about it, we pick up certain ideas and interpretations and controversies. Every reading is ultimately affected by what the reader brings to the text, the individual interpretation of the source text, general knowledge of cultural facts, as well as other stories in the fandom and fannish discussions.
At the same time, the fact that no two fans can ever read the same version of a fantext, that no two fans will have read the exact same stories in the same order, will have participated in the same debate at the same time, indicates an intrinsic interactive aspect of the fantext. Every fan decides which part of the larger fantext she will read or not read, which discussion she will engage in, which stories she'll reread. If we think of the reader of a traditional hypertext as being able to choose which link to click next, fantext readers have a near infinite number of possibilities as well as the ability to add onto the text, to co-write the fantext. The fantext is not only interactive but everchanging and expanding. The infrastructure of fandom contains archives that collect stories or newsletters and rec lists that link to them, its personal journals and mailing lists that may mix stories, analyses, and personal anecdotes. The fact that the stories are often interspersed with commentary, criticism, and personal random information makes the fantext both more open and dispersed but also more interactive and encompassing. Considering a reader who navigates these various spaces which all add to the overall fantext, we can see the multi-threaded character of the reading process. However, while the fantext's plots are multithreaded and, at times, mutually exclusive, they all circle back to the same source text and thus exist within the vicinity of one another. [If we were to visualize it, we could think of fan stories as multidimensional clusters around a central source text, where some fan stories may even be situated closer to the center of another source text, picking up tropes and characterizations from elsewhere.]
Another aspect that drives this unceasing interactivity is the fact that most members of the fannish community are both producers and consumers of the fantext. A large number of readers are writers and an even larger number will comment on stories or source texts. Reading a random collection of fan stories thus creates a complicated, often internally contradictory view. Nevertheless, it affords a conceptual experience in which the reader is always already more active not only by virtue of choosing which stories to read or not to read, i.e., which aspect of the fantext to include or reject but also because more than likely this "active reading" quite easily turns into actual contribution—it may simply be a comment analyzing the story and thus adding on to the fantext, but it also may be a story, an illustration, an icon, a podcast, a rec list, a review, any form of active engagement with both source and fantext.
If Written By the Victors illustrates fannish engagement of writing and rewriting canon and our multiple versions thereof, the ultimate question then remains who the victors are in Speranza's scenario. Clearly, even if we read the non-historian prose narrative not as the actual truths but as yet another version, its presentation gives it a form of primary status. Likewise, the concluding piece, written in Ancient and even in its visual presentation thus purposefully incomprehensible to us, earth-bound and English-speaking readers, suggests that we are not meant to fully comprehend, that we may not be the ones that have the last word—or even understand it. Written By the Victors clearly is meant to suggest a (false?) impression of Earth historians who create and control the story of Atlantis in their historical quibbles, striving for some understanding and semblance of what truly happened. Its ending, however, indicates that the true victors are Atlantis and Sheppard's Pegasus Galaxy: the writings of the Atlantis historians is different, more metaphorical, less comprehensible, thus hinting that the truth may lie more in narrative and fiction than a desperate attempt to collect and congregate mere factual details. They don't present an idyllic utopia as they disagree and correct one another, thus recalling Earth historians' quibbles, but they clearly get the last word and it is both poetic and, in the end, indeterminable and thus open-ended, letting us, the readers, conclude and expand to our hearts' content.
If we are of Earth and thus unable to read the final Atlantean narrative, we are also of fandom and thus on the side of the story tellers. If we are the academics who analyze and nitpick and debate canon details and interpretations and behold any all too small factual detail and try to make it meaningful in context, we are also the creators who sing songs and write poetry. If the story and its reception is a mirror to the likeness of academia and fandom, it is also a thematic response to its differences: the responses, which playfully embrace the unknown, that revel in the interstices and fill them in with narratives of our own, clearly position themselves with Atlantis, with the uncertainly and ambiguity of song as history rather than academic treatise. If there's an opposition to be perceived between academia and fandom, the story (and its reception) clearly sides with fandom, because as much as the show creators may think they know what they're doing, as much as academics may analyze and debate (both the shows and the fans), this story suggests that writing back is the ultimate act of aggression, that appropriating and creating are the tools that will make fans the ones who survive—even if the place of origin never knows about their culture's vibrancy and richness.
[1] For more on my thoughts on that see the section on "Fiction, Reality, and Collaborative Fantasy Spaces" in my overview on Real People Fiction.
[2] While postmodernism as a critical and aesthetic category is clearly more complex than I have space for here, a simplified (and sadly non-ambiguous) definition would foreground the following aspects as central to postmodern literature and often addressed in fanfiction's engagement with source texts: (1) truth: If postmodernism embraces a questioning/destabilizing of totalizing master narratives and all-encompassing truths and certainties and places emphasis on the particular, multiple points-of-view, telling the story from unusual perspectives, then fanfiction's emphasis on the subtext, on substituting or at least supplementing canon functions in similar ways. The existence of multiple contradictory realities, in the form of various fan stories covering the same ground, subverts the concept of truth. Slash, in particular, with its queering of the canon may give voice to othered subjects (or rather allowing them to exist in the first place). (2) reality: Postmodernism foregrounds the various constructions of reality as it disrups clear boundaries between fiction and reality, celebrates recursive narratives, allows characters (and even the RL author) to enter one another's stories or to shift level of reality. RPF most obviously engages in such reality-questioning discourses, but specific fanfiction genres such as crossovers and fusions also can fall into that category. (3) identity: Postmodernism foregrounds the multiple ways in which identities are constructed, in which we "perform" our identity depending on our environment, how multiple identities exist simultaneously and may conflict; In fanfiction, the very existence of hundreds and thousands of more or less canonical version that coexist already destabilizes clear notions of identity as it shows how the source material can be interpreted in such ways as to allow often extreme and contradictory interpretations of the same character. (4) consistency: Postmodernism revels in disrupting any level of consistency (genre, style, reader expectations, high vs low brow). Obviously, fanfiction's intertextuality, its reappropriation and recycling of culture, its ludic pla(y)giarism are highly postmodern, but I think if we look at the fantext as this ever-expanding Work in Progress that is inconsistent with itself on all levels, we can really look at fandom as creating exemplary postmodern artifacts.
[3] Fantext in my definition is the ever expanding collection of fannish writings surrounding a given source. It includes fiction, analyses, images, and all other forms of commentary and reflections upon the source text. I believe it makes sense to view it as a single (albeit multi-authored, contradictory, multi-dimensional) text in order to address the complex intertextuality of fan artifacts and allow that complexity to be theorized and analyzed. While not a monolithic entity, I'd argue it makes sense to look at the way a given fan story is intertextually engaged with both the source text (i.e., the show) and the fantext (i.e., everything that has been created within a given interpretive community and thus may have affected the writer's interpretation, whether purposefully or unconsciously).

Estrogenic Activity of Coumestrol, DDT, and TCDD in Human Cervical Cancer Cells
AbstractEndogenous estrogens have dramatic and differential effects on classical endocrine organ and proliferation. Xenoestrogens are environmental estrogens that have endocrine impact, acting as both estrogen agonists and antagonists, but whose effects are not well characterized. In this investigation we sought to delineate effects of xenoestrogens. Using human cervical cancer cells (HeLa cells) as a model, the effects of representative xenoestrogens (Coumestrol-a phytoestrogen, tetrachlorodioxin (TCDD)-a herbicide and DDT-a pesticide) on proliferation, cell cycle, and apoptosis were examined. These xenoestrogens and estrogen inhibited the proliferation of Hela cells in a dose dependent manner from 20 to 120 nM suggesting, that 17-β-estrtadiol and xenoestrogens induced cytotoxic effects. Coumestrol produced accumulation of HeLa cells in G2/M phase, and subsequently induced apoptosis. Similar effects were observed in estrogen treated cells. These changes were associated with suppressed bcl-2 protein and augmented Cyclins A and D proteins. DDT and TCDD exposure did not induce apoptosis. These preliminary data taken together, suggest that xenoestrogens have direct, compound-specific effects on HeLa cells. This study further enhances our understanding of environmental modulation of cervical cancer.

To date, DivX has been downloaded over 70 million times worldwide
Bo Lustrup, Marketing Manager from KiSS Technology, had this to say: "Our new progressive Scan DP-450 DVD Player with DivX support is hitting the market exactly at the right time and the right price of €400. We believe that it is important to offer our users support for DivX video above and beyond other video technologies for a number of reasons. The incredible visual quality, significant brand equity, and vast global demand for DivX video makes the technology a must-have for next-generation video electronics devices, and the addition of DivX compatibility to the DP-450 will give our product a significant competitive advantage in the marketplace."
We have it on good authority that there has already been a significant amount of interest in this new DivX capable player, and you can rest assured we'll be keeping you up to date on exactly where you'll be able to get your hands on your very own DP-450. For the time being however, you'll just have to be content with a few technical deatils and some pictures.

The Consequences of having it All
I don't think the question is, "Can women have it all?" I think the question is, "Will I know it and appreciate it when I have it all?" There is a consequence for every behavior, and weighing the cost of the pros and cons of each choice is a better way to teach women what having it all involves.

I was thinking the other day ( a dangerous thing to be sure) I am sure there are a million reasons why this wouldn't work but has anybody ever considered transplanting the D7100 crop sensor to the D300 body getting the benefits of the 7100 with the prosumer build and features of the D300? I suppose the processor would have to be upgrades and the 7100 would not have the programming of the D300 features. Still if it could be done .....

Contrary to what we're told as kids, some things really are impossible (at least according to the laws of physics in our universe). My guess is that this is one of them, or some industrious photographer with very specialized education and way too much time on his hands, would have already done it.

It would be a challenge, more from the image processing side than the physical sensor mounting. You would need the equivalent of the latest expeed to handle the data flow and metering would need major tweaking to take advantage of the DR of the new sensor, packaged to fit the older body layout. I'm sure others could come up with a far more extensive list.The D800 has it all, it would be the better choice for electronics, then a DX sensor from a D7100. Starts to sound expensive.

>I wonder why Nikon never chose to issue a camera in the D300>line with the D7000 sensor? To this day that remains a great>sensor.>Just my 2 cents, but when camera companies spend a decade marketing more pixels to customers, then it becomes a confusing message to say, "Here is a great new camera with fewer megapixels, but it is fast, built like a tank, feature laden, etc, etc."I would have been happy with a D700-like camera with the D4 sensor at 6 frames per second. I would have bought it. But the D800 came along instead, (I shot my brother's quite a bit, it's nice, but slow, and the images eat LR 5.2 alive, and I have a pretty stout computer with an SSD}. So I have the D600, a great camera, build quality equivalent to my D200, (an even longer rated shutter, in fact).I find my D600 weighs about the same withe the 24-85mm VR as my D200/ 18-70mm DX, and I am not wanting a heavier camera for my general photography. I really can't get excited about a successor to the D300/s models anymore.

Well Nikon just filed a patent for a camera with an interchangeable sensor, so Iam guessing the current build is incapable of this. Jason

I've always wondered myself why Nikon, when they had such well-designed bodies in the D300/s and D700, didn't just use those same cameras for updated models with the latest sensors and electronics. Especially in the case of the D300/s.

Australia led 13-6 at halftime after a try from centre Matt Toomua as Farrell missed three of his five penalty attempts after England dominated the scrum but without ever threatening the Wallaby line.
They crossed it five minutes into the second half, though, when captain Robshaw scored his first international try, and added a second soon after when Farrell found a hole and slotted his second conversion.
Australia, seeking a fourth win from five games at Twickenham, pressed in the closing stages but England's defence held firm to condemn the Wallabies to their eighth defeat in 11 tests this year.
England made a nervy start to the match despite taking the first points when Farrell landed his first kick.
Australia quickly levelled through the boot of resurgent Quade Cooper before his England counterpart missed three kicks in quick succession.
A better kick from Farrell saw England regain the lead just before the half-hour mark but within three minutes Australia had completely turned the game around as Cooper combined with Israel Folau for a moment of brilliance.
The ball was then recycled through a patchy Will Genia to Toomua, who dived over the line for the first try of the afternoon. Cooper added the conversion before another penalty in quick succession saw the Wallabies go into the interval with a nice lead in hand.
Australia looked the more likely to extend that lead at the restart as England again struggled to find their rhythm.
But inch-by-inch the hosts worked the way back into the match, cutting out the mistakes and wearing down the increasingly tired and short on confidence Australian team.
Maku Vunipola was very quick to charge down a Genia clearance kick after man-of-the-match Mike Brown and Twickenham debutant Marland Yarde had combined on the left wing.
Captain Robshaw was the first to react to the charge-down, forcing his way over the line to touch down for England.
Farrell added the conversion before taking full advantage on a gaping hole in the Australia defence to record his own try. Australia had a decent call of obstruction against substitute Dylan Hartley but the referee and television match official decided there was "not enough" obstruction to disallow the try and England, once Farrell had converted, had the seven-point lead.
From there it was a case of holding on for Lancaster's men as Australia had a couple of chances to secure the draw.
The best of those chances came two minutes from time but Benn Robinson knocked on and England cleared before winning three consecutive scrums with penalties to take victory.
England host Argentina and New Zealand at Twickenham in the next two weeks while Australia move on Rome and then Dublin to face Italy and Ireland.

At nineteen, I was a drug addict and alcoholic when I nearly died in a car bombing. My book is called "It cost me an arm and a leg". I'll let you guess why.
This is the true story of how I found my way from a middle class upbringing into addiction, violence and crime. I got mixed up with motorcycle gangs, criminals and almost died more times than I can remember.
In 1987, at thirty years old, a culmination of events brought me to recovery. CA, NA, and AA meetings were my salvation those first few years clean. It is not your typical AA story because I stopped going to meetings after five years.
I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C in 1994. Five years later, I was successfully treated for it but became acutely depressed while taking Rebetron. Under any other circumstances, I would have refused anti-depressants but this was different. The hepatitis is "cured" and I am still on Paxil.
For twenty four years, I have developed coping skills I never had the chance to learn because I started doing drugs so young. I grew up and took responsibility for my life, entered therapy whenever I felt stuck, got married, made new friends and learned to sing.
I am still married, have two dogs and live in suburbia. I struggle with health issues but life is good.
I did it and so can others. It isn't easy but it is possible.
Note: Some names have been changed to protect me.

GIK Acoustics does an Auralex with the new ArtPanel
Some time ago, Auralex introduced their SonicPrint line which basically was acoustic treatment with pictures on it. Personally I think it's a really good idea to spice things up a little Now GIK Acoustics is doing a similar thing with their ArtPanel. More info on their website.

Sent my close merchant account form immediatly because I had made so many calls with alot of appoligies and transfers and still no answers. One of the gizzilion people I spoke with finally said he would e-mail me the postage to send the terminal back and of course that did not happen either. This company drops the ball @ every turn. Took another afternoon to take the terminal directally to payment solutions and am told I can not do that although there were other returns on the desk behind the very rude gentlemen behind the desk. Never ran a transaction and they are sticking me with a over 400.00 fee for the machine I never used. Beware of Payment Solutions. They are still calling my cell phone and leaving automated messages as if I would even think of doing any kind of business with them.
I have been with Alpha card for years and have never had to deal with any of these isues. Sometimes its worth paying alittle more for great service. Lesson learned!
Payment solutions- Don't know how you sleep at night ripping people off.

The Sweden international left the Bianconeri after two years in 2006 following the Calciopoli scandal that saw the Old Lady relegated to Serie B.
But the man who was in charge at the striker's first ever club has insisted that the talismanic goalscorer has told him he wants to come back to Turin.
"Zlatan wants Juve," he told Tuttosport. "If not now, then next year.
"He said to me the other day, 'it's not a question of money'.
"He said that he wants to return to Juve."
The 32-year-old has a contract at Paris Saint-Germain until 2016, so a move looks unlikely with the French champions no doubt looking for a huge fee.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Tuttosport
This may not be as crazy as it first sounds. Though happy in Paris, Zlatan has never given the impression of a man obsessed with his cause at the Parc des Princes and there is definitely a case that he has unfinished business at Juve.
Lest we forget, both of his title wins with the Bianconeri were scrubbed off after the Calciopoli scandal so maybe he is determined to go back and win Serie A properly this time. Seeing out his final years at the new Juventus Stadium wouldn't be such a bad thing.
The only question is whether Juventus have the financial resources to prise him away from Paris. While it might not be matter of money for uber-rich Ibrahimovic, PSG will not feel the same way: their start striker still has two years on his contract, and is valued at €25 million despite the fact that he turns 33 in less than two months.

Comments about Hewlett Packard HP 15-D082NR 15.6" Intel Core i5 Dual Core Processor Notebook Computer with Windows 8.1:
I use this basically for browsing and some work from home. It is very fast. Windows 8.1 takes some getting used to if you are used to any of the older versions of Windows but I got the hang of it in one day. Vents on the side is ingenious keeps the unit cool to the touch
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

A lump is a large bump caused in pants when a man/boy/transvestite gets a boner and tries to hide it. Hence forming a large lump that makes the zipper go all funny.
Oh my cock! Look at Harold's lump. I didn't know sex ed videos could do that.
