I. Elementary Rules of Usage II. ELEMENTARY PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITION THE ELEMENTS OF STYLE OLIVER STRUNK 資訊四 B98902043 邱俊翔
1. Form the possessive singular of nouns by adding 's. Follow this rule whatever the final consonant. Thus write, Charles's friend Burns's poems Exceptions are the possessives of ancient proper names ending in -es and -is, the possessive Jesus', and such forms as for conscience' sake, for righteousness' sake. But such forms as Moses' Laws, Isis' temple are commonly replaced by the laws of Moses the temple of Isis The pronominal possessives hers, its, theirs, yours, and ours have no apostrophe. Indefinite pronouns, however, use the apostrophe to show possession. one's rights somebody else's umbrella A common error is to write it's for its, or vice versa. The first is a contraction, meaning "it is." The second is a possessive. It's a wise dog that scratches its own fleas.
2. In a series of three or more terms with a single conjunction, use a comma after each term except the last. Thus write, red, white, and blue gold, silver, or copper He opened the letter, read it, and made a note of its contents. This comma is often referred to as the "serial" comma. In the names of business firms the last comma is usually omitted. Follow the usage of the individual firm. Company Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette
3. Enclose parenthetic expressions between commas. The best way to see a country, unless you are pressed for time, is to travel on foot. This rule is difficult to apply; it is frequently hard to decide whether a single word, such as however, or a brief phrase is or is not parenthetic. If the interruption to the flow of the sentence is but slight, the commas may be safely omitted. But whether the interruption is slight or considerable, never omit one comma and leave the other. There is no defense for such punctuation as Marjories husband, Colonel Nelson paid us a visit yesterday. or My brother you will be pleased to hear, is now in perfect health. Dates usually contain parenthetic words or figures. Punctuate as follows: February to July, 1992 April 6, 1986 Wednesday, November 14, 1990 Note that it is customary to omit the comma in 6 April 1988 The last form is an excellent way to write a date; the figures are separated by a word and are, for that reason, quickly grasped.
A name or a title in direct address is parenthetic. If, Sir, you refuse, I cannot predict what will happen. Well, Susan, this is a fine mess you are in. et cetera / id est / exempli gratia The abbreviations etc., i.e., and e.g., the abbreviations for academic degrees, and titles that follow a name are parenthetic and should be punctuated accordingly. Letters, packages, etc., should go here. Horace Fulsome, Ph.D., presided. Rachel Simonds, Attorney No comma, however, should separate a noun from a restrictive term of identification. Billy the Kid The novelist Jane Austen William the Conqueror
Although Junior, with its abbreviation Jr., has commonly been regarded as parenthetic, logic suggests that it is, in fact, restrictive and therefore not in need of a comma. James Wright Jr. Nonrestrictive relative clauses are parenthetic, as are similar clauses introduced by conjunctions indicating time or place. Commas are therefore needed. The audience, which had at first been indifferent, became more and more interested. In 1769, when Napoleon was born, Corsica had but recently been acquired by France. Nether Stowey, where Coleridge wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, is a few miles from Bridgewater. In these sentences, the clauses introduced by which, when, and where are nonrestrictive; they do not limit or define, they merely add something. Each of the three sentences is a combination of two statements that might have been made independently. The audience was at first indifferent. Later it became more and more interested. Napoleon was born in 1769. At that time Corsica had but recently been acquired by France. Coleridge wrote The Rime of the Ancient Mariner at Nether Stowey. Nether Stowey is a few miles from Bridgewater.
Restrictive clauses, by contrast, are not parenthetic and are not set off by commas. Thus, People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Here the clause introduced by who does serve to tell which people are meant; the sentence, unlike the sentences above, cannot be split into two independent statements. The same principle of comma use applies to participial phrases and to appositives. People sitting in the rear couldn't hear, (restrictive) Uncle Bert, being slightly deaf, moved forward, (non-restrictive) When the main clause of a sentence is preceded by a phrase or a subordinate clause, use a comma to set off these elements. Partly by hard fighting, partly by diplomatic skill, they enlarged their dominions to the east and rose to royal rank with the possession of Sicily.
4. Place a comma before a conjunction introducing an independent clause. The early records of the city have disappeared, and the story of its first years can no longer be reconstructed. The situation is perilous, but there is still one chance of escape. Two-part sentences of which the second member is introduced by as (in the sense of "because"), for, or, nor, or while (in the sense of "and at the same time") likewise require a comma before the conjunction. If a dependent clause, or an introductory phrase requiring to be set off by a comma, precedes the second independent clause, no comma is needed after the conjunction. The situation is perilous, but if we are prepared to act promptly, there is still one chance of escape. When the subject is the same for both clauses and is expressed only once, a comma is useful if the connective is but. When the connective is and, the comma should be omitted if the relation between the two statements is close or immediate. I have heard the arguments, but am still unconvinced. He has had several years' experience and is thoroughly competent.
5. Do not join independent clauses with a comma. If two or more clauses grammatically complete and not joined by a conjunction are to form a single compound sentence, the proper mark of punctuation is a semicolon. Mary Shelley's works are entertaining; they are full of engaging ideas. It is nearly half past five; we cannot reach town before dark. It is, of course, equally correct to write each of these as two sentences, replacing the semicolons with periods. Mary Shelley's works are entertaining. They are full of engaging ideas. It is nearly half past five. We cannot reach town before dark. If a conjunction is inserted, the proper mark is a comma. (Rule 4.) Mary Shelley's works are entertaining, for they are full of engaging ideas. It is nearly half past five, and we cannot reach town before dark.
6. Do not break sentences in two. In other words, do not use periods for commas. I met them on a Cunard liner many years ago. Coming home from Liverpool to New York. She was an interesting talker. A woman who had traveled all over the world and lived in half a dozen countries. In both these examples, the first period should be replaced by a comma and the following word begun with a small letter. It is permissible to make an emphatic word or expression serve the purpose of a sentence and to punctuate it accordingly: Again and again he called out. No reply.
7. Use a colon after an independent clause to introduce a list of particulars, an appositive, an amplification, or an illustrative quotation. A colon tells the reader that what follows is closely related to the preceding clause. The colon has more effect than the comma, less power to separate than the semicolon, and more formality than the dash. It usually follows an independent clause and should not separate a verb from its complement or a preposition from its object. The examples in the lefthand column, below, are wrong; they should be rewritten as in the righthand column. Your dedicated whittler requires: a knife, a piece of wood, and a back porch. Your dedicated whittler requires three props: a knife, a piece of wood, and a back porch. Understanding is that penetrating quality of knowledge that grows from: theory, practice, conviction, assertion, error, and humiliation. Understanding is that penetrating quality of knowledge that grows from theory, practice, conviction, assertion, error, and humiliation.
Join two independent clauses with a colon if the second interprets or amplifies the first. But even so, there was a directness and dispatch about animal burial: there was no stopover in the undertaker's foul parlor, no wreath or spray. A colon may introduce a quotation that supports or contributes to the preceding clause. The squalor of the streets reminded her of a line from Oscar Wilde: "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." The colon also has certain functions of form: to follow the salutation of a formal letter, to separate hour from minute in a notation of time, and to separate the title of a work from its subtitle or a Bible chapter from a verse. Dear Mr. Montague: departs at 10:48 P.M. Practical Calligraphy: An Introduction to Italic Script Nehemiah 11:7
8. Use a dash to set off an abrupt break or interruption and to announce a long appositive or summary. A dash is a mark of separation stronger than a comma, less formal than a colon, and more relaxed than parentheses. His first thought on getting out of bed — if he had any thought at all — was to get back in again. The rear axle began to make a noise — a grinding, chattering, teeth-gritting rasp. The increasing reluctance of the sun to rise, the extra nip in the breeze, the patter of shed leaves dropping — all the evidences of fall drifting into winter were clearer each day. Use a dash only when a more common mark of punctuation seems inadequate. Her father's suspicions proved well-founded — it was not Edward she cared for — it was San Francisco. Her father's suspicions proved well- founded. It was not Edward she cared for, it was San Francisco. Violence — the kind you see on television — is not honestly violent — there lies its harm. Violence, the kind you see on television, is not honestly violent. There lies its harm.
9. The number of the subject determines the number of the verb. Words that intervene between subject and verb do not affect the number of the verb. The bittersweet flavor of youth — its trials, its joys, its adventures, its challenges — are not soon forgotten. (X) The bittersweet flavor of youth — its trials, its joys, its adventures, its challenges — is not soon forgotten. A common blunder is the use of a singular verb form in a relative clause following "one of..." or a similar expression when the relative is the subject. One of the ablest scientists who has attacked this problem (X) One of the ablest scientists who have attacked this problem One of those people who is never ready on time (X) One of those people who are never ready on time Use a singular verb form after each, either, everyone, everybody, neither, nobody, someone. Everybody thinks he has a unique sense of humor. Although both clocks strike cheerfully, neither keeps good time.
With none, use the singular verb when the word means "no one" or "not one." None of us are perfect. (X) None of us is perfect. A plural verb is commonly used when none suggests more than one thing or person. None are so fallible as those who are sure they're right. A compound subject formed of two or more nouns joined by and almost always requires a plural verb. The walrus and the carpenter were walking close at hand. But certain compounds, often cliches, are so inseparable they are considered a unit and so take a singular verb, as do compound subjects qualified by each or every. The long and the short of it is... Bread and butter was all she served. Give and take is essential to a happy household. Every window, picture, and mirror was smashed.
A singular subject remains singular even if other nouns are connected to it by with, as well as, in addition to, except, together with, and no less than. His speech as well as his manner is objectionable. A linking verb agrees with the number of its subject. What is wanted is a few more pairs of hands. The trouble with truth is its many varieties. Some nouns that appear to be plural are usually construed as singular and given a singular verb. Politics is an art, not a science. The Republican Headquarters is on this side of the tracks. But The general's quarters are across the river.
10. Use the proper case of pronoun. The personal pronouns, as well as the pronoun who, change form as they function as subject or object. Will Jane or he be hired, do you think? The culprit, it turned out, was he. We heavy eaters would rather walk than ride. Who knocks? Give this work to whoever looks idle. In the last example, whoever is the subject of looks idle; the object of the preposition to is the entire clause whoever looks idle. When who introduces a subordinate clause, its case depends on its function in that clause. Virgil Soames is the candidate who we think will win. [We think he will win.] Virgil Soames is the candidate whom we hope to elect. [We hope to elect him.]
A pronoun in a comparison is nominative if it is the subject of a stated or understood verb. Sandy writes better than I. (Than I write.) In general, avoid "understood" verbs by supplying them. I think Horace admires Jessica more than I do. Polly loves cake more than she loves me. Use the simple personal pronoun as a subject. Blake and myself stayed home. (x) Blake and I stayed home. Howard and yourself brought the lunch, I thought. (x) Howard and you brought the lunch, I thought.
The possessive case of pronouns is used to show ownership. It has two forms: the adjectival modifier, your hat, and the noun form, a hat of yours. The dog has buried one of your gloves and one of mine in the flower bed. Gerunds usually require the possessive case. Mother objected to our driving on the icy roads. A present participle as a verbal, on the other hand, takes the objective case. They heard him singing in the shower. The difference between a verbal participle and a gerund is not always obvious, but note what is really said in each of the following. Do you mind me asking a question? Do you mind my asking a question?
11. A participial phrase at the beginning of a sentence must refer to the grammatical subject. Walking slowly down the road, he saw a woman accompanied by two children. The word walking refers to the subject of the sentence, not to the woman. To make it refer to the woman, the writer must recast the sentence. He saw a woman, accompanied by two children, walking slowly down the road. Participial phrases preceded by a conjunction or by a preposition, nouns in apposition, adjectives, and adjective phrases come under the same rule if they begin the sentence. On arriving in Chicago, his friends met him at the station. On arriving in Chicago, he was met at the station by his friends. A soldier of proved valor, they entrusted him with the defense of the city. A soldier of proved valor, he was entrusted with the defense of the city. Young and inexperienced, the task seemed easy to me. Young and inexperienced, I thought the task easy. Sentences violating Rule 11 are often ludicrous: Being in a dilapidated condition, I was able to buy the house very cheap. Wondering irresolutely what to do next, the clock struck twelve.
12. Choose a suitable design and hold to it. Planning should be a deliberate prelude to writing. We should foresee or determine the shape of our writing and pursue that shape. Before we start to write, we should perceive the skeleton in our mind. Writing is just adding the flesh and the blood to the skeleton.
13. Make the paragraph the unit of composition Divide the subject into topics, and deal each topic with in a paragraph. The beginning of each paragraph serves to bring out a new step in the development of the subject. Thus, the beginning sentence should suggest the topic of this paragraph or help the transition between paragraphs. The transition could be done by a mere word or phrase, such as again, therefore, for the same reason, etc. Sometimes, it is more suitable to use a sentence or two of introduction or transition to get into the topic slowly. Exception: In dialogue, each speech forms a paragraph by itself, even if it is only a single word. The arrangement of paragraph should consider the visual effect as well as the logical category. Because many readers are reluctant to deal with enormous blocks of print, it is better to divide long paragraph into two, even if it is not necessary in the logical sense. But this division should be kept within a proper limit, since too many short paragraphs will distract the attention of readers. We should always have the sense of order when we are deciding the arrangement of paragraphs.
14. Use the active voice. The active voice is often more direct and vigorous than the passive: I shall always remember my first visit to Boston. > My first visit to Boston will always be remembered by me. Exception: In some cases, the passive voice is convenient and necessary: The dramatists of the Restoration are little esteemed today. (there is no need to state out the subject of the sentence) Modern readers have little esteem for the dramatists of the Restoration. (the subject is restricted to the modern readers)
15. Put statements in positive form. Negative form often makes the expression tame, colorless, and hesitating. Positive form can make definite assertions: He usually came late. He was not very often on time. She thought the study of Latin a waste of time. She did not think that studying Latin was a sensible way to use one's time. We should tell the reader what is, not what is not. Use the word not only as a way of denial or in antithesis. It is better to express even a negative in positive form: dishonest > not honest forgot > did not remember ignored > did not pay any attention to The opposition of negative and positive can make a strong structure: Not charity, but simple justice. Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I love Rome more. Ask not what your country can do for you -- ask what you can do for your country. Other negative words such as never are usually stronger than the word not: Her loveliness I never knew until she smiled on me.
16. Use definite, specific, concrete language. A good writing should evoke pictures, images, and sensations. Therefore, the specific is better than the general, the definite is better than the vague, and the concrete is better than the abstract: It rained every day for a week. A period of unfavorable weather set in. He grinned as he pocketed the coin. He showed satisfaction as he took possession of his well-earned reward. Good writers should never lose hold of the concrete. They should furnish particular instances of their application even when dealing with general principles: In proportion as men delight in battles, bullfights, and combats of gladiators, will they punish by hanging, burning, and the rack. In proportion as the manners, customs, and amusements of a nation are cruel and barbarous, the regulations of its penal code will be severe.
17. Omit needless words. Good writing should be as concise as possible. A sentence should contain no unnecessary word, a paragraph no unnecessary sentence. Every word should tell: no doubt > there is no doubt but that he > he is a man who because > the reason why is that Avoid the expression the fact that: since > owing to the fact that though > in spite of the fact that his failure > the fact that he had not succeeded Expression such as who is, which was, and the like are often superfluous: His cousin, who is a member of the same firm Trafalgar, which was Nelson's last battle The active is more concise than the passive, and the positive is more concise than the negative. It is better to combine a long series of sentences into one.
18. Avoid a succession of loose sentences. An occasional loose sentence prevents the style from becoming too formal and gives the reader a certain relief. But it is improper to have too many of them. It is bad to construct a whole paragraph of sentences of this kind: those consisting of two clauses, the second introduced by a conjunction or relative such as and, but, who, which, when, where, and while. The third concert of the subscription series was given last evening, and a large audience was in attendance. Mr. Edward Appleton was the soloist, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra furnished the instrumental music. A good writer should avoid the boring mechanical symmetry and singsong by removing the monotony. Use simple sentences, sentences of two clauses joined by a semicolon, periodic sentences of two clauses, or sentences of three clauses -- whichever best represent the real relation of the thought.
19. Express coordinate ideas in similar form. The likeness of form enables the reader to recognize more readily the likeness of content and function: Formerly, science was taught by the textbook method; now it is taught by the laboratory method. Formerly, science was taught by the textbook method, while now the laboratory method is employed. An article or a preposition applying to all the members of a series must either be used only before the first term or else be repeated before each term: the French, the Italians, the Spanish, and the Portuguese in spring, summer, or winter in spring, in summer, or in winter If some words require a particular preposition in certain idiomatic uses, all the appropriate prepositions must be included when such words are joined in a compound construction: His speech was marked by disagreement with and scorn forhis opponent's position. Correlative expressions (both, and; not, but; not only, but also; either, or; first, second, third) should be followed by the same grammatical construction: The ceremony was both long and tedious. > It was both a long ceremony and very tedious. A time not for words but for action. > A time not for words but action.
20. Keep related words together. Bad arrangement of words will cause confusion and ambiguity. A good writer should bring together the words that are related in thought and keep apart those that are not so related: He noticed a large stain right in the center of the rug. He noticed a large stain in the rug that was right in the center. The subject and the principal verb should not be separated by a phrase or clause that can be transferred to the beginning: In Beloved, Toni Morrison writes about characters who have escaped from slavery but are haunted by its heritage. Toni Morrison, in Beloved, writes about characters who have escaped from slavery but are haunted by its heritage. The relative pronoun should come immediately after its antecedent: A stir that suggested disapproval swept the audience. There was a stir in the audience that suggested disapproval. He published three articles in Harper's Magazine about his adventure in Spain. He wrote three articles about his adventures in Spain, which were published in Harper's Magazine.
Some adjustment should be done if ambiguity results from an antecedent consisting of a group of words: A proposal, which has been variously judged, to amend the Sherman Act A proposal to amend the Sherman Act, which was variously judged William Henry Harrison's grandson, Benjamin Harrison, who The grandson of William Henry Harrison, who Modifiers should come next to the words they modify. If several expressions modify the same word, they should be arranged so that no ambiguity or confusion is caused: Not all the members were present. All the members were not present. She found only two mistakes. She only found two mistakes.
21. In summaries, keep to one tense. Use the present tense in summarizing the action of a drama, a poem, a story, or a novel. In the summary, antecedent action should be expressed by the perfect. However, a past tense in indirect discourse or in indirect question remains unchanged: The Friar confessed that it was he who married them. When writing a summary, the writer should use the same tense throughout. When presenting the statement or the thought of someone else, do not overwork such expressions as "he said," "she stated," "the author thinks." Instead, a good writer should indicate clearly at the outset once for all, and then waste no words in repeating the notification.
22. Place the emphatic words of a sentence at the end. The proper place in the sentence for important words is usually at the end: Since that time, humanity has advanced in many ways, but it has hardly advanced in fortitude. Humanity had hardly advanced in fortitude since that time, though it has advanced in many other ways. The beginning of the sentence is also a prominent position. You can emphasize any element other than the subject by placing it in the beginning: Deceit or treachery she could never forgive. This principal applies equally to the words of a sentence, to the sentences of a paragraph, and to the paragraphs of a composition.

- About
A secretaire like this, from one of the greatest periods of European furniture history, is the eighteenth-century equivalent of the laptop. A secretaire was a very personal piece of furniture. Unlike a desk of the period, where the writing surface was open and visible to all, the secretaire was locked up when not in use, the writing surface folded away. One kept personal correspondence, important documents and other valuables like jewellery and money hidden away in the cabinet under lock and key (this example has a strong box built into the lower part of the cabinet). The secretaire thus, like a modern laptop, kept in one secure spot (lock and key are the password) personal communications and private information, but in a form that everyone recognised: you know the information is there, but you can only access it if you have the key/password. These pieces of furniture mark an important moment in the history of privacy and the development in the eighteenth century of the distinction between private and public life.

Greetings and welcome to my diary! As you probably already know by now, me, my two siblings (Milo and Cathy) and our tortoiseshell mother, Marmee were all rescued by this really nice lady and her husband and we're all currently looking for good homes! We had been living underneath someone's back porch; and although Mom did her best to try and take care of herself and us, too, it just wasn't working out too well.
The older lady who owned the house would feed us once in a while, maybe (whenever she remembered we were there); but she didn't like kitty cats too much. She might've thought she did, but when it came to actually taking care of kitties and providing for their needs, she wasn't very knowledgable or committed. You see, she grew up on a farm over sixty years ago, and back then people didn't care for their kitties like they do now. We didn't know any of this at the time, but the last cat she owned was about twenty years ago -- a big orange, battle-scarred tom who spent most of his time outdoors, roaming, fighting and causing many other little kittens (similar to ourselves) to be born into the neighborhood. From what we'd heard, he didn't pay any kitten-support (and neither did his owner), so that wasn't a very good situation at all.
Anyway, based on my kitty mommy's limited experience with humans, we didn't know there were people who could be kind and good. So since this older lady wasn't getting any purrs, rubs or head-butts from us -- in fact, far from being lap-warmers we would run away whenever anyone tried to get too close! -- unfortunately she didn't have much patience or see much use for keeping us around. :(
Thank goodness we were all rescued from that place!! =^..^= If someone didn't help us soon, we all might've wound up at the county pound, where we all would've met a very sad end -- so I am SOOOOOO VERY grateful!! =^..^= *purrrr-ruuuubbb-purrrrr!* It took a while, but we gradually, eventually learned what it was like to be loved, given regular, good quality food, played with and held and cuddled. So we're all getting used to domestic life now, albeit each at our own (slightly different) pace.
When we were very young, we would hiss and spit at anyone who came too near. So at first we were kept in a kitty playpen covered with a sheet on three sides, with a little box to hide in so that we would learn to feel safe. Our new adoptive person-Mommy (I'll refer to her as "Mommy" from now on) sometimes would feed us treats on a spoon. I don't know what it's called, but it smelled so good and it tasted like chicky-meat....YUMMY!! I had never dreamed anything could taste so wonderful, especially having lived mostly on bugs and mice and whatever our kitty-mommy could find outdoors for us; and despite our skittishness we just couldn't resist it!! *licks lips* :-3P
My brother Milo was the first one to bravely venture out of our little playpen to investigate our new home; and he's been the 'leader' of our little pack ever since! We've come a long way since we first got here. We were all spayed and neutered about a month ago. That was a somewhat scary but interesting adventure where I got to ride on this big ferry boat, and watch seagulls and all kinds of neat stuff I had never seen before! =^..^= I've gotten over my fear of being picked up and held (well, almost!), and my siblings and I are looking good in our new colorful collars.
The first day I wore mine, I wasn't a very cooperative kitty. I fussed and fidgeted and pulled it right over my head when my Mommy wasn't watching! Mine was this silly-looking little thing like a scrunchie, and like any self-respecting feline of Manx ancestry, I didn't put up with it very long, nosiree! (I've got a new one now). But Mommy says collars are for our own good, in case we ever got outside and got lost, whoever found us would know how to help us get back home and safe again. According to Mommy, a lot more kitties wind up euthanized (I don't know what that big word means, but it sure doesn't sound very nice!) in shelters because they had no identification, than have been trapped or otherwise injured by wearing a collar; so I guess we'll give it a shot.
Oh, and speaking of shots *winces*, we all also got those the day we were fixed. :-3 [ "Fixed"? I didn't even realize I was broke! =P ] *~OUCH!~* But Mommy says we're good on our basic vaccinations now and won't have to have those again for almost a year. So I am at least glad for that, YAY!
You might be wondering how I got my name... Well, after my daddy had been feeding us kittens for a while (this was back when I still lived outside in the older lady's backyard), he was trying to describe to Mommy what kind of cat I was. Since I was tailless (well, okay, I've got a little bitty stump of a tail), Mommy said it sounded like I might be Manx (she hadn't seen me at this point). They had an encyclopedia with pictures of all different kinds of cats. Daddy pointed to one of the pictures and said, "That looks like him there..." [Um, excuse meeeeeee, but I'm a girl! Anyway, Daddy didn't know that at the time -- people make mistakes, I guess -- especially adult men! :P Back to my story...] It was a picture of a dark brown Manx cat (as taken from the back view), half-standing upright on his/her hind feet and looking around inquisitively. Mommy said, "Looks like a bear..." And so Daddy started calling me "Bear" and it stuck, even after they brought me home and found out I needed a spay operation instead of neutering, lol.
Oh well, that's all for now -- see ya next time.

Watch out oldies, the youth are getting mobilised. Research released last week suggested last election's voter turnout in the under-25 demographic was abysmal. These figures were bad enough that a bunch of up-and-coming young types have gathered together to produce strategies to encourage young people to vote.
They've got apps, viral videos, young entrepreneurs, hope, vision and a real desire to shift voter demographics. If I were a baby boomer still coming to grips with this internet business, I'd be waking up on my expensive sheets in a cold sweat.
I sit in a demographic where young people think I'm old and old people think I'm young; so I'm just an observer to the change in power and influence that will take place over the coming years.
If I were an older person I'd be scared to death of young people voting in large numbers. What mayhem this would create. If young people did vote, politicians might have to start paying attention to what they think and then where would we be? We'd be back to free tertiary education and a minimum wage you might actually be able to live on. And where is this money going to come from? Out of rich old people's pockets of course. That just wouldn't fly would it? We'd be like those socialist Scandinavian countries that always rate so highly on quality of life studies and less like America where the rich and poor and the old and young are more clearly divided.
Cities like Christchurch would no longer be able to pass their "young adults, piss off" policies banning everything that's any fun, and instead of heading off overseas or to Auckland or Wellington as soon as school's finished they'd still be here cluttering the place up and making it more difficult for seniors to get mobility scooters along the sidewalk. We'd probably have to wait until we're 110 to start collecting our pensions.
Another problem with young people is that they don't stay young, so you'd forever be working to discourage each new bunch that's coming up to voting age. Of course, the aged are like the young in that nobody's born old. If you live long enough, at some stage you stagger into the oldie bracket. But unlike the young, the aged have the bitter experience of years. They've learned that to get more than your fair share of pork from politicians you have to have them by the throat and the only way to do that is to vote en masse. Just try and keep your granny away from the voting booth.
Some of my best friends are codgers and codgettes, and I love them dearly, but you have to think that if scarce resources (health dollars, for instance) were being allocated in a way that provided the best bang for society's buck, you wouldn't spend a huge wad of it on people who the actuarial tables show should either be dead or who will be dead in the next year to 18 months. In a rational system, new hips and quadruple bypasses for octogenarians would give way to free doctor's visits for everyone until they've finished their education, free grommets and properly funded childcare.
Like everyone else up till now, I want more than my fair share, too. We can't have young people messing up the natural order. We just can't. So if your teenager or niece or nephew shows any interest in voting or politics of any kind, make sure you tell them their attention's far too precious to waste on boring old-people's stuff. Tell them they'll understand when they're older, and boring like you are. Try to keep a straight face when you say it. By the time this lot wakes up, it'll be too late and they'll be on our side helping blindside the next lot of boat-rockers.

//#4. FOX Didn't Censor the "Only" Mention of Evolution on Cosmos//
Here's a little something to stretch your indignant scoff muscles:gizmodo.com, mediaite.com
"Neil DeGrasse Tyson digitally replaced with Pat Robertson."The story that's been passed from Gizmodo to the Wire is that during the premiere episode of Cosmos, the gritty revamp of the classic science documentary series, a FOX affiliate in Oklahoma "accidentally" cut the only part about evolution in favor of a news promo about tween archery. While the station apologized for the screw-up, numerous headlines have questioned their true motive due to the state's anti-evolution background and the fact that the word "FOX" is involved. Here's the shameful clip:The only hole in this theory? That wasn't the only mention of evolution in the show. Oh, and also, it's physically impossible to do -- network shows run on something called a dual network feed that automatically transmits shows to local broadcast affiliates. So, whoever accidentally interrupted the show had no idea they were about to throw down evolution theory unless they came from the future, in which case they probably had a pretty good reason to do it.
Years from now, we will be debunking this one.
But, hey, you know "skeptics."

Luna: HouseMature
We reach the forest next to the lake and I lead them to my house. They gasp and I smile. It's made of the same rock as the mountain and is next to the crystal lake, which is more like an ice rink.
"We have about half an hour left" I say looking up at the sky.
"It's been that long already" Platiana says landing next to me with Teaky who turns back to her normal self.
"You didn't have to walk" Mars moans. I lead them inside and we sit down at the table.
"What are we going to do when we get back?" Norvon asks looking around at the hand carved furniture. I sigh.
"You don't know do you?" Thoth says.
"No, I don't have a clue at how to get us all away...... It's usually been fighting and running but with all of us it won't be that simple" I say looking up at them.
"Well, it seems we should be going" Mars says. I look through the window to see the last sun touching the edge. I sigh and hold out my arm.
Everyone takes a firm grip and like before we hit the ground hard but this time not in a pile. I seem to be getting better.

Tomorrow is not a complicated song, and it certainly isn't original. When it was released in 1994, many critics savaged it. To this day, Silverchair's most ardent fans continue to debate its artistic merits.
But Tomorrow deserves recognition nonetheless. It is arguably the most important Australian song of the past 20 years – not because it broke new ground musically, but because it had an immeasurable impact on the young Australian musicians who came to dominate the airwaves in the second half of the 1990s.
Written by singer/guitarist Daniel Johns and drummer Ben Gillies when the pair were in their early teens, the song hews closely to the Seattle grunge formula but crackles with a younger and less oppressive energy than Nirvana's big singles. The lyrics – inspired, Johns says, by a television documentary – combine sing-song simplicity and adolescent intensity.
The track was a massive hit, spending six weeks at No 1 on the Aria singles chart and propelling the band's debut album, Frogstomp, to nine times platinum status in Australia. In October 1995, a full year after its release, Tomorrow won three Aria awards, and Frogstomp scooped an additional two.
Around the country, young Australians of all stripes were becoming devotees of the band. Silverchair managed to appeal both to younger teens, for whom Tomorrow was a first taste of powerful rock music, and to older, more discerning listeners, who recognised and approved of the group's influences.
Meanwhile, the song caught fire in north America. A new music video that took its cues from popular grunge clips of the early 90s was shot specifically for the US market and soon found favour with MTV's programmers. Rock radio and college stations followed suit. Tomorrow soon hit number one on both the Billboard modern rock tracks and the album rock tracks charts. It was the most-played song on American modern rock radio in 1995.
The track polarised American music critics. Many were unhappy that Silverchair – whom they dismissed as young, foreign, and derivative – had achieved mainstream success in the States. A wave of negative publicity followed the trio's first live shows on US soil.
But for each scathing review, there was a critic willing to give the band a chance. Writing in the New York Times, Dimitri Ehrlich called Frogstomp "bombastic in the brash way that adolescent males often are. But the album also contains several unexpected charms, which explains why it has gone platinum."
Back at home, aspiring musicians were awed by Silverchair's international success. "It was extremely exciting to witness," says Ella Hooper, who, along with her brother Jesse, formed the soon-to-be-massive Killing Heidi in 1996. "I remember Jesse saying, 'Look! They're three young dudes from Newcastle. We're two young kids from the country. If they can do it, we can.' Witnessing their career blossom, we started to believe that something similar might be possible for us." Members of many other homegrown bands have echoed Hooper's sentiment.
The Australian media was inspired, too. In the wake of Tomorrow's success, local radio stations and magazines started paying more attention to the music emanating from garages and rehearsal spaces around the country, rather than taking their cues from overseas. The Australian music industry grew in size and confidence as the 90s progressed, spawning major events like Homebake and nurturing a slew of chart-topping bands, from the Living End to Jebediah.
The song influenced Australian music in numerous ways – some subtle, others not so. But Tomorrow still resonates today for one simple reason. Says Hooper, "It feels amazing to sing along to. You hold those vowels 'til you pass out!"

Bathroom moth
Observed: 21st June 2011 By: Chalkie
Added: 24th June 2011
Looks a bit like some of the brocade moths on UK Moths, but doesn't really seem to match any very well. About 4cm long. The patterning reminds me of cakes with icing that has had a fork pulled through it.

This apartment has everything you search for, go for it!
Looks like no one had the time to review this place yet!
These conditions were defined by the Provider and are subject to change.
We have not verified this property yet. We are working on having it fully verified as soon as possible.
Getting Around
Your new neighbourhood
Path to university
At Uniplaces we make the process of booking an apartment as easy as possible for both tenant and landlord.
That's why we have our own team of professional photographers that verify our properties and pick our landlords carefully in order to save time on viewings: we think it's old-fashioned and time-consuming.
You can look at forty different apartments on our platform in the same amount of time that it takes to see a room.
The pictures you see here haven't been photoshopped, so they'll be really accurate.
If you've still got any doubts, we'll keep the money that you transfer us until 24h after your move-in date.
If something's not exactly what you saw online, we'll help you move somewhere else and return your money.
We can only give you the contact details of your landlord after your booking is accepted. But we can guarantee that Uniplaces chooses the landlords it works with very carefully.
Besides, we've had students whose favourite part was living with a local!
Landlords and host families can be great city guides, help you out with translations and even become your friends.
As soon as your booking is accepted, you're given the landlord's contact details. Then, you can discuss all details directly with them, such as when you'll be moving-in.
Students move in and out at different times, so your flatmates might change during your stay.
It's a great opportunity to make new friends!
We personally speak to students who we place in Uniplaces apartments and are sure we will find the right place for you as well!
At the bottom of the property page, you have a calendar where you can see the availability of that room/apartment, according to the landlord.
But if you're still unsure about that we're happy to help.
Tell us your move-in and move-out dates and we will double-check if the place is available for you!
There are two different types of deposits: the Holding and Security deposits.
By clicking on "Deposit" at the bottom of the offer page you will get more information about each type of deposit.
In general, the deposit is paid to cover for any potential damages that may occur during your period of stay or will be used as rent compensation in case you leave earlier than originally planned.
If no damages occur and you leave on the agreed move-out date, your deposit should be refunded by the landlord in a way you both agree on.

I have been using Series60 Remote for about two years now. Recently I saw an update in the software. I wanted to tell all of you that please don't think that its an old software because Nokia Series 60 is not used any more.. that is not true. This software is such an awesome software that it can even make a person return to Nokia because of the comfort we get from sending SMS with the comfort of the Keyboard!! Its just brilliant! It is so easy to send SMS with this software. I really thank you for that. I use Ubuntu Linux and this is certainly one of the best softwares available for Ubuntu! Please keep up the good work! One suggestion is if you can somehow make the Mobile Client auto start with phone and run on background automatically. That would be nice. It would be a big help for broken phones. You can also advertise on different blogs that if someone's old S60 Phone is useless, they shouldn't think its useless, even if their keypad is broken, or screen is broken or the battery is dying.. they can still make a great use of it by keeping it plugged into a charger and connect it with their laptop using this awesome software and keep sending sms with the comfort of the keyboard. I just keep my phone plugged in all the time, and I enjoy sending and receiving sms on the laptop. Thank you for this great application.
Very handy software. Features can be added/improved further to make it more intuitive. But overall.. great piece of software
great job!

Lady Chablis

American drag queen Emcee, film actress, comedienne and autobiographer. A full-time transvestite and "preoperative transsexual," the Lady Chablis owns no men's clothing and takes estrogen to increase her bustline but has no plans for surgery. Slender, black and attractive, Chablis became a media personality through interviews on Oprah and in USA Today, following the publication in January 1994 of John Berendt's novel, "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," in which she appeared as Frank "Chablis" Devau.
In her former life as Edward, she was Assistant Superintendent of the local Sunday school, speaking to the congregation and cultivating both her stage skills and her faith in her Christian savior. Up to the age of nine, she modeled herself and her sexuality with the all-female household in which she was raised.
In the summer of 1969 she met her booze-soaked dad for the first time and stayed with him in Harlem. During this constrictive time, Chablis attended the local Institute of Fashion, learned to use a sewing machine and met her first gay role model. She began cross-dressing at 14.
She later polished her night-club act and Emcee skills as a glamorous performer.

Conservatives keep steady lead over Liberals
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Conservative Party stayed close to winning a majority government, widening its lead over its Liberal rivals, while both parties lost some support to the New Democrats, according to a poll released on Wednesday.
The Nanos Research tracking poll of results for three days of surveys showed support at 39.1 percent, slightly down from 39.8 percent on Tuesday. The poll showed the Liberals have 28.4 percent of the vote, down from 30.2 percent on Tuesday.
Support for the New Democrats rose to 19.8 percent, from 17.3 percent on Tuesday.
Under Canada's electoral system, a party needs about 40 percent of the vote to win a majority of the 308 seats in the House of Commons.
The Conservatives had a minority in the last Parliament and needed support from at least one other party to stay in power.
The federal election is scheduled for May 2.
The daily Nanos tracking figures are based on a three-day rolling telephone sample of 1,012 decided voters and are considered accurate within 3.1 percentage points 19 times out of 20.
Results from the last three days of polling are as follows:

I've been thinking a lot about this blog of mine lately, and so often throughout the week, I'll have a sweet moment with Reese or Riggs or a funny story that happens in our little life where I'm like, "I should write this down! I want to remember this forever!" And too often, I think I get caught up in wanting to have pictures with the stories or be able to sit down for a solid block of time and write down a beautifully written post but you know....ain't nobody got time for that anymore! At least not me anyway! So for more realistic purposes and to better record the little joys of my life with my family, I'll try to get on here and do little family journal entries of sorts. Hope you enjoy the ride!
I don't really feel like I have the right words to start this post, but Todd's grandpa, Theodore James Barrett, passed away on Easter morning. He lived a long, full life and was surrounded by so many loved ones in his last few days. He went into the ER Friday night, and over the weekend, Todd and I were kept in the loop with what was happening and his progress. On Saturday evening, things weren't looking good, and so we came back from Salt Lake to come visit him at the hospital. We drove down to the hospital after dropping the kids off with their Grandma Hawl. We went up to his room, and when we walked into the room and saw Pa hooked up to all sorts of machines and tubes, my heart dropped. Pa wasn't awake, but Todd went over to hold his hand. Even though he wasn't awake, Pa had been squeezing hands when his grand kids talked to him. I haven't been in the Barrett family long but what a wonderful man and Grandpa I could tell he was.
Todd was talking to him about Reese and Riggs, and he would squeeze his hand when he talked about Reese and Riggs. It was a really sweet moment and just a really tender evening over all. We left the hospital, and on the way home Todd talked about some different memories he had of his Grandpa and about how good of a man he was. The man was a "Renaissance Man" as his bishop said of him at the funeral. "Renaissance Man" defined as a person who is an outstandingly versatile, well-rounded person with many talents and a vast knowledge of many different fields. That was Pa! He was an engineer, a poet, an artist, a father, a God-fearing man, an astrologist, an athlete, a friend, a husband, an architect, a builder, and so much more. Those were some of the ones mentioned in the funeral services that stood out to me. He was also hilarious! At the funeral, there was an entire book made by his sons, Bill (Todd's dad) and Robert, depicting cartoons of all his crazy phrases! I wish I could remember some of them. I'll have to ask Todd!
The viewing was the night before the funeral, and there was the sweetest movie of pictures of Pa, his wife, his children, and great-grandchildren. Most all pictures I had never seen before. Pa was such a handsome man! He truly loved each of grandkids and great grandchildren so individually and deeply. Even I felt that love!
We miss him, but we know he is with his sweet wife Fae and watches over us everyday.

Despite its size the Pure-Fi Dream retains the classiness we're accustomed to seeing from Logitech products. Its curvaceous bulges and glossy black finish look sleek and stylish so it does at least look like it's worth the asking price. Like the buttons on the remote, all function buttons on the top are backlit orange - an effect that's activated by motion sensors. This is handy if you're tying to hit the buttons in the dark, though if you are, you're clearly getting up far too early!
For all its attractive touches and backlit buttons, there's a lot of practical good sense in the Pure-Fi as well. For example, there are two large click wheel-esque dials for quick and easy control of volume and seek functions and the 'Snooze' button is as large and easy to hit as it possibly could be. These dials also make it very easy to quickly set alarms and you can have up to two different alarms at any one time.
These are mapped to two buttons just above the 'Snooze' button and all you need do is hold one down to begin the process. You can also choose between a buzzer, a radio station or your iPod for your wake-up call. Perhaps the neatest thing in this respect, though, is that the Pure-Fi Dream has its own battery. Thus, if the power is cut off by an apocalypse, be it man-made virulent plague, a nuclear winter or just a nasty bout of global apathy, then you needn't worry about being late for work!
Meanwhile, on the font, is a well proportioned and backlit display. In iPod mode it displays track information or a somewhat superfluous spectrum analyser and using the remote you can adjust bass, treble and screen brightness levels. There's also an ambient light sensor that ensures the display doesn't remain on full brightness in the dark.
Unfortunately, there's no RDS support so the Pure-Fi Dream won't identify the station you're listening to - there's nothing more horrifying than discovering you've accidentally tuned into local radio!
On the plus side there's no annoying external antenna and radio reception is good in spite of this. There's even a small reception meter on the display so you can assess exactly how good your fix is and adjust accordingly. Here the dial controls again make fine tuning blissfully easy, negating the need for unreliable auto-searching.

Good review. Just had this delivered this morning, very impressed so far, great sound quality much better than the Logitech mm50 I've been using so far..
"Unfortunately, there's no RDS support" actually there is.. RTFM! Press the display cycle key and you get the station name etc. Well you do on mine. Only criticism is the xbox sized power brick.... is that really necessary Logitech?
Nothing worse than local radio? Well you might accidently find yourself listening to Chris Moyles, which is a fate worse than death.
Thank you trustedreviews for inspiring me to get a new music system! I initially liked the look of this one, but ended up getting this one from sony:
It has the advantage of DAB radio and a CD player and is cheaper. (and no power brick ;) )
Hi there, I see I'm a bit late in this thread, but I'm trying to see if I can get help for a specific problem I have with my brand new logitec Pure Fi Dream: I cannot use it as PC speakers with any success. I hook up with a cable to the PC and set it on AUX - and when I play music from iTunes it works fine - BUT: basically everything else comes out of the speakers totally blurred and incomprehensible - if I watch Youtube of interviews on CNBC, I cannot even comprehend what the persons are saying, it comes out completely distorted.
Does anybody have any insight in this - would be much appreciated!
Very very disappointed with the Pure-fit dream radio, We brought this a couple of mths ago and have tried it in every room upstairs and downstairs, reception very poor cannot listen with out background noise. Have tried extending the lead as recommended in the book but this makes no difference.A complete waste of £114. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks jean M
