Elizabeth Jane Cochran (b. 5 May 1864, d. 27 January 1922) was the epitome of the MisBehaved woman. And as we all know, well behaved women, rarely make history. Ms. Cochran is better known by her pen name… Nellie Bly.
Starting her career by challenging men's perception of women in a column in the Pittsburgh Dispatch, with a rebuttal signed "Lonely Orphan Girl", the editor offered the "gentleman" (who else could have written such a well written response, right??) a job on the paper. When it was discovered that Ms. Bly wrote it, the offer was rescinded. She argued for the job and won, choosing her famous moniker "Nellie Bly" from a Stephen Foster song of the same name that was famous from the time.
Her early work, in support of the plight of working women was discouraged and the editorial board of the Dispatch kept trying to push her to the "women's pages" to write about fashion, society, coming out parties and gossip. She broke out of the mold and became a foreign correspondent, reporting on the customs of the Mexican people and Mexican governmental corruption and the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz. Obviously she had to beat a hasty retreat from Mexico.
Her famous expose of New York insane asylums in 1887 for the New York World, put her name on the map. For ten days, she endured the life of an inmate at New York's infamous Bellevue Hospital's insane ward. Finding abuse, inedible food, inhumane treatment, and disgusting conditions, Nellie wrote:
"What, excepting torture, would produce insanity quicker than this treatment? Here is a class of women sent to be cured. I would like the expert physicians who are condemning me for my action, which has proven their ability, to take a perfectly sane and healthy woman, shut her up and make her sit from 6 a.m. until 8 p.m. on straight-back benches, do not allow her to talk or move during these hours, give her no reading and let her know nothing of the world or its doings, give her bad food and harsh treatment, and see how long it will take to make her insane. Two months would make her a mental and physical wreck."
The New York World secured her release after ten days. After publishing her story (and subsequent book, Ten Days in a Madhouse) a grand jury was convened and with its findings, over $850,000 was added to the budget of the Department of Public Charities and Corrections (today's Department of Social Services) for making the lives of the inmates of the asylums better. The grand jury also made sure that there was also more checks and balances so that only those in true need went to the asylum.
Besting Jules Verne's fictional traveler Phineas Fogg, was the order of the day. Nellie Bly beat his eighty day trip around the world by making it around the world, unchaperoned (unheard of! The scandal!) in seventy two days, six hours, eleven minutes and fourteen seconds with only the clothes on her back, a sturdy coat, a few changes of undies, and a few thousand dollars.
Nellie held a patent, was a leading female industrialist, and covered the women's suffragist convention of 1913 and the Eastern Front during World War I.
All of this, before women could vote. Before she had the right to control her medical choices. She was not a "well behaved woman". This is why she made history.
She MisBehaved.

Jennifer Aniston Said 'Retard'
"Because old people say the darnedest things"? 41 is not old! I'm so sick of people making fun of any actress or celeb that's over 30 calling them old. What can they do about it? I'm sure if Jennifer could turn back the hands of time she'd do it, most of us would. Why make fun of her as if aging is some failure on her part? It happens to all of us.

After a second consecutive loss, Coach Adam Oates tinkered with his forward line combinations for Friday's practice.
Wojtek Wolski, who is pointless in the past seven games, is skating on the third line with Mathieu Perreault and Joel Ward after spending the bulk of the season playing left wing on a line with Nicklas Backstrom and Troy Brouwer.
Wolski took a total of one shift in the third period in Washington's 3-2 loss to the Devils Thursday night. Part of the reason for that is because he doesn't kill penalties and the Capitals were frequently playing short-handed. But even after Ilya Kovalchuk's power-play goal gave New Jersey a lead, Oates shortened the bench, opting to play Eric Fehr and Matt Hendricks over Wolski.
Earlier this week Wolski was asked about his scoring drought.
"It's tough; you never know why. It's something that you want to work through," Wolski said. "You don't want to veer to far from the game plan. I think when you don't score you want to start changing things because you're not scoring but I think the best thing to do is to work through it, put in the effort and the results will come. I think you've just got to keep it together and really bare down."
Fehr, who has six points in the past five games, took over the left wing spot on the unit with Backstrom and Brouwer, which is where he finished Thursday night's game against the Devils.
In other practice notes, Mike Green (lower body) and Marcus Johansson (upper body) are taking part. Defenseman Jack Hillen, who has yet to be cleared for contact and still has roughly a month left in his recovery, is also skating with the team.
Meantime, Brooks Laich (groin) is not on the ice for a sixth consecutive day.
Here are those line combinations:

Almost 13 mth olds diet(14 Posts)
Oh, I should say that the bowl is quite flat. When I say we fill it, I mean we cover the bottom, although sometimes it gets piled higher than others depending on how much DH or I have cooked and how hungry DD seems. I also hope I didn't sound like a douche with my remark about being reluctant to force a reduction in DDs milk- I have no doubt that there are many good reasons why a parent would choose to do this.
DD is not quite 13 months, but we have this:
Overnight feed anywhere between 3am and 6.30am (anything before 7 counts as overnight to me!) all or most of 200ml carton. We don't really have much choice about keeping going with this as she won't take water except in heatwaves.
Breakfast usually an hour or two after getting up- summer fruit and a couple of small slices of cheese. A nectarine, or about seven strawberries.
Lunch- maybe veg stew, or carroty mash. We use a bowl that's about 2.5 inches in diameter and pretty much fill it. Then more fruit if she wants. Sometimes she won't have a proper lunch, but on fussy days she'll usually at least have fruit. I'm working towards sandwiches. She also likes chunky soup, and stir fried chicken with rice. We usually have those from the same bowl so I'm not sure how much.
5pm often wants a solid snack now. Bit of toast, or fruit.
Tea- usually whatever we're having. Same bowl as lunch with eg mild curry and rice, or a pasta dish. She loves roast dinners. Then, she will have two little potatoes, a head of broccoli, couple of carrot batons and meat a bit more than the size of her palm. Again more fruit if she wants. Tends to eat biggest meal in the evening.
She still has lots of milk, 7-800ml a day and only recently dropped a milk feed. She grazes, as we have always fed on demand. There's no schedule to it that i can see. We recently switched to cows milk except for overnight. Oh and she usually likes a taste of what the adults around her are eating too, out of curiosity.
I know what you mean re milk worries, because DD is still having a lot of it and took her good old time with solids. She's also a bit of a tin ribs- 70th centile for weight but nearly 90th for height. I'm reluctant to try and force a reduction in her milk consumption though. And we never had to deal with tongue tie or any of the stuff you have, so i can imagine it must be really hard. Especially when you're about to go back to work. Its tough.
typical day:
7am - wake up but never wants milk (as has been bfeeding all bloody night..)
8am - approx 30g porridge with about 150ml milk and fruit, usually blueberries - sometimes upwards of 10 berries.
930 - bf to sleep for nap time
1130/12 - lunch examples are - eggy bread - couple of fingers worth, savoury muffins - he can often eat 2.5/3 of them in a sitting (I make them in those silicone cases), maybe 2/3 a large rice cake with either peanut butter, philadelphia. Beans and grated cheese. Yogurt, and fruit. He can polish off 1.5 of those Plum fromage frais easily.
3pm ish - bf to sleep for second nap.
6pm - dinner - often pasta with anything - homemade tomato sauce, often just butter or a bit of olive oil and grated parmesan. Risotto good to, lasagna. Portion wise I make about 20g of pasta, or a big handful (my hand) and he eats about 2/3 of it.
7/730pm - bf at bedtime.
2/3 bf during the night. Sigh.
Snacks during the day are a bit haphazard as the bf at naps times seems to keep him full, but if out and about he'll eat breadsticks, fruit pouches, dried cereal. He loves fruit and will regularly eat a whole pear or nectarine or kiwi.
Reading other people's posts am glad to see that he seems to eat a lot of the same - except for the veg. I'm just glad he eats rice and pasta and that is my vehicle for veg at the moment..! Doesn't eat much meat other than lasagna, but eats a lot of beans and lentils and chick peas so is getting protein. Want to try little fish cakes.
Re weight gain he's been on same %ile since about 7 wks so even on days where he'll eat almost nothing (and there are plenty of those) I tell myself not to worry too much.
We night weaning - sat night tried Dr Sears (give few gulps then stop) - this frustrated her...Sun night I caved...last night gave water and stroked/patted - this was much calmer. Both nights of trying it has taken 1.5 hrs to get her off as she goes off quickly but only lightly and wakes again. We cosleep fm 1ish which I'm happy to keep doing but just need to cut down on booby, increase food, and get my periods back too. Not easy is it xx
15mo (but same at 13mo)
bfast 2weetabix + cows milk + tbps fruit puree water
lunch small bowl chicken and veg soup, 1/2 -1 slice bread + bowl custard + water
dinner as we are having (as much as he eats really if he doesn't eat much offer porridge or weetabix afterwards)
bed 200ml cowsmilk
Decide what time is your cut off and only offer water after. Ie feed before 11pm, anytime between 11-6.30 water only
Might have a terrible night or two but should be ok after that.
Once you are happy with that you can choose to feed at bedtime then not at all after
Thanks everyone! It seems to vary so much! Squidgers, I've had the same problem with bf but had literally had to cut out feeds due to work. My ds's diet now looks like this...
6.30 - bf
7.30 - breakfast, usually shreddies and soya milk (milk allergic)
10.00 - snack, often yogurt and 4/5 grapes
12.30 - lunch, hummus sandwich, cucumber, tomato, bit of ham and fruit pot
1.30 bf (currently trying to offer cup of milk instead)
3.30 snack, breadstick and banana
6.00 - dinner, eg, bowl of spaghetti bolognaise, fruit loaf and strawberries
7.30 bf
10.30 - bf
2.30 - bf!
Yes. He still has two full overnight feeds, how on earth do you drop them with hysterical crying?!
At 13 months we had just stopped bfing so DS had:
Breakfast - one weetabix with 100ml milk
mid morning - cup of 100ml milk (didn't drink all) and a bit of fruit (eg. half an apple or banana) or a couple of rice cakes and some cheese
lunch - sandwich with one piece of bread/beans on toast/leftovers with a piece of fruit
mid afternoon - same as mid morning
dinner - cottage pie/lasagne/curry etc - in one of those little Ikea plastic bowls for portion size, plus a fromage frais or tablespoon of greek yoghurt and honey
Hi - we are perhaps at the other end in that my dd fills up booby so consciously trying this week to cut back on booby to increase food. So milk on waking, hour later a small amount of breakfast eg 1/6 of a crumpet and a handful of blueberries, lunch is about a quarter of a portion of dried Chinese noodles, a few sticks of pear and 1/4 to 1/2 egg and tea is often penne pasta, big broccoli floret, Greek yoghurt (prob 2x a kids small yoghurt pots worth). We do quite a few sultanas, breadsticks and oat cakes as snacks.
I was talking to my HV today - she says we should be having 3 meals and 2 snacks per day .....trying to limit to 3 feeds this week: am, 3.30pm and bedtime. Really trying not to feed in the night but its not going down well!!
and it depends how tired I am as to how long I can persist with sips of water
This thread has been helpful re portion sizes and also to see that they do vary. DD consistently on her growth line but always been below aver on weight.
My 13 mo has approx 120 mils milk on wakening. He then has breakfast if porridge and yoghurt or maybe 2 weetabix. Lunch is something like a one egg omelette with slice toast and mushroom and tomatoes. Dinner might be pasta in cheese sauce and a floret of broccoli and a few carrot batons. Pudding of fruit and custard and then approx 120 mils milk before bed. He might have rice cakes or oatcakes as a snack. If he's off colour for any reason though he will eat very little. His eating stresses me out which is ridiculous as he is on the chubby side.
DS is 14 months old and this is a typical day:
7am breastfeed
7.30am toast or mini bagel with butter, fruit such as banana, berries or melon, sometimes an egg of some description
10am snack which will usually be a homemade muffin or cheese straws
12.30pm a favourite lunch is pasta with cheese sauce, broccoli, peas and a bit of salmon or ham. Fruit for pudding
3.30pm another snack - might be a few dried apricots and a bit of cheese or some cherry tomatoes and cucumber sticks
5.30pm dinner tends to be whatever we have so fish pie, meatballs, homemade chicken goujons, stew of some sort all served with veg and some sort of carb. Again fruit for pudding if he's still hungry or if we're having pudding (v rarely happens) he'll try a bit of that
6.45pm breastfeed
In terms of portion size it really varies on how energetic he's been and if he has a tooth coming through. A pasta portion for him is roughly how much he'd fit in his hands if they were cupped. Protein wise, say chicken, he'd have a couple of slices. He'll easily eat a nectarine or a whole banana as a snack.
At 13 months we had roughly days like;
Wake: bf
Breakfast : porridge/ fruit ( about x2 tablespoons total), or 1/2 boiled egg, and 1/2 small piece toast.
Lunch : 1/2 avocado, piece cucumber, 1 cherry tomato, baby size hand of chicken
4 pm bf
Dinner : baby size hand of fish, 1 new potato, a stick of asparagus
A portion of anything is size of their fist. So a portion for 1 year old should be smaller than day a 4 year old or an adult even bigger. If you look at your babies Hand in fist shape you will see its quiet small. Ie a teaspoon of peas is probably enough veg
Is he losing weight OP?
If he's sticking to his line in the red HV book (if you're in the UK), then there's nothing to worry about.
Babies need a surprisingly small amount of food as their stomachs are so little.
I've been paranoid about my ds getting enough food from birth (tongue tie, snipped twice) and its still in the back of my mind every day.
I bf but am cutting out feeds during the day due to going back to work in a week.
Please could you give me an example of your child's daily food/milk intake including portion size to help reassure me that he's getting enough food.
Thank you!

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Thank you. I went to see my optometrist again. He said some of the issue may be the dilating drop he put in my left eye earlier this afternoon when he first checked it out. But if it doesn't improve by tomorrow, he said to see him again. I also have the on call number to Stanford Ophthalmology, and will call tomrrow am if it doesn't get better. Thank you Dr. DanB

What's Trending: April 8th

Homemade products are my favorite. Dolly Moo hand makes body scrubs, oils, lip balm, feel good butters, and more! It's such a feel-good company. The name Dolly Moo comes the grandmother of the two creators. She called them that as children. They later found out that Dolly Moo means "My Gift from God". They created the company shortly after her passing and everything sort of fell in place. Along with this feel good story comes awesome products. They smell great and feel great. I am loving their Coconut Citrus Body Scrub. What I especially love about their scrubs is that it's not just an exfoliator but it has a (good) oily feel to it, so it leaves your skin shiny and smooth. I've been shaving with their Vanilla Body Oil. After exfoliating with the scrub I use the oil instead of shaving cream to get my legs summer-ready! You can use the oil all over your body too! I've been carrying Dolly Moo's Healing Butter in my purse, each sent is for something different. The one I have is Mint & Eucalpytus which is great for clearing sinuses (now that spring is here!), it helps with muscle pain, and nausea (great for my very-often hangovers!). I love finding companies with a great story AND a great product and Nicci and Amy have exactly that going on!
In college when people were doing it they would leave something like a sock on their door so you knew not to go in. Well Here are two apps that are the modern-day sock-on-the-door. Sock-It and Sendasock. With Sendasock you add your roommate to the app and set a time of how long the room will be occupied, the app will alert them! With Sock-it you click the heart signifying that you are doin' it. It uses Bluetooth to alert people with the app, near your location not to enter your room! When all is doe, turn it off! If you're going away for spring break these are must-have apps!

Ripoff Report
Velasquez Mufflers & Brakes16200 S. Halsted St. Harvey, Illinois USA
Velasquez Mufflers & Brakes Manager- Saul Carrasco owner charged excessive storage fees at 50.00 per day immediatly after repairs were complete. Harvey Illinois
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Velasquez Mufflers & Brakes Manager- Saul Carrasco owner charged excessive storage fees at 50.00 per day immediatly after repairs were complete. after explaining that i was traveling for family emergency that included my 2 siblings being in critical condition, the owner with arrogance said he didn't care and it wasnt his problem. A business that treats its costomers this way is not deserving of the communities business. after returning from Texas Mr. Carraco wanted to charge me $1,200 for storage alone. this owner takes advantage of community residents by charging excessive fees in an area where people general cant handle 50 per day. he and his staff are rude and insensitive to its customers. i encourage people to stay away from this establishment for these reasons. i was faced with a major life determining situation that no one could foresee and yet out of greed and lies about the cost, i could not afford to pick up my vehicle. mr. carrasco filed a owner abundament lien with the state and now has my car up for sale at three times the cost of the repairs. do not use this establishment.

Evening all from first time poster.
Just bought a Yamaha PDX50 speaker dock. For those not familiar with it, the Yamaha transforms an iPod itself into a remote control: attach the little transmitter to the bottom of your ipod and it sends music wirelessly to the dock. Very happy with sound, but volume control from the ipod click-wheel does not control the dock line out level as it is supposed to. Tried it with an iphone and the volume control worked. I guess the control signal for the ipod volume does not appear at the dock connector. Anyone any idea if this is a fault or a feature of 4th generation and if so is there anything I can do about it?
Ta for any advice

Skiing a telemark carve that can win a race is dancing a fine line. Sometimes, I turn heads because I make defying gravity on skis that don't clamp your heels down seem natural. The rest of the time is probably when I impose the most lasting impression on passerbys. Most experienced telemark skiers can attest that teleing is just an act of constant recovery. They are convinced that falling is inevitable, and sometimes it is just that. You enter a turn that is doomed from the start, like signing up for a course with a teacher that older siblings have already ruined relations with. Why it is doomed is sometimes obvious. Other times, there is nothing to blame but the mysterious snow snake. No matter the reason, (effects do differ on the season) the feeling is the same.
I put my skis on edge and compress. They come around, then the ultimate catch-22. In between the last transition and this one, my skis have grown a mind of their own. They won't let go, continuing to turn back up the hill. The mounting G-forces bring me into a deeper lunge. In an effort to stand upright, I put my weight on my front foot. My front ski slows the most miniscule amount under the greater weight and starts the chain reaction. I break at the waist, putting my inside hand down to push myself back up. Without any weight, my back ski takes a bounce and hits my front one – the last straw. Now, my front binding has hinged at the toe and I take a dive into the ground before me, like a kid sliding on my belly over a frozen lake. My inside hand dragging throughout the snow has transitioned to my inside forearm. I arch my back trying (fruitlessly) to keep the snow out of my face. Like trying to sprint in fine Caribbean sand, I plow further down. The sharp bite of cold snow first hits my lips, then I submerge fully, prone, with my skis clamped under my stomach like a skeleton competitor. By the time I untangle myself from my toboggan, snow has packed itself into every crevice: between my goggles and helmet, jacket and pants, chin and well, all down my front.
What happens next is important. Passerbys are bound to jump at the opportunity to be the fist on scene to help a downed ski racer. As I remove snow, (what hasn't dripped into my boots already) they ask eagerly, "Are you OK? That didn't look fun!"
"Don't worry," I always respond, "I was just demonstrating how to carve the perfect telemark turn on my nose. Maybe next time you can see the perfect carve on skis."
^some training turns 🙂

Gunners skipper Fabregas made his return from yet another hamstring problem against Manchester United two weeks ago and has now been declared fully fit for the visit of the Blues.
Fabregas is likely to be joined in the starting line-up by Van Persie, who has been used sparingly after his return from an ankle injury.
The Dutch striker could come in for Marouane Chamakh, who Wenger has revealed is beginning to feel the strain of high intensity English football and could start from the bench against Chelsea.
Elsewhere, Wenger has a decision to make over whether he keeps faith with youngster Wojciech Szczesny in goal or recalls the fully fit Lukasz Fabianski between the sticks.
Manuel Almunia, Thomas Vermaelen and Kieran Gibbs are all still unavailable.

Stepping out of the shadows of one of the best lightweight fighters in the world Joachim 'Hellboy' Hansen, the no.9 ranked fighter in Europe prepares for face his biggest test that will place him squarely on the mma world map.
TNA Sports can now confirm that Simeon The Grin Thoresen will face Michael Costa from the infamous Wanderlei Siva Team at The Art of War Ground Zero on the 26th September in Macau China.
Norwegian welterweight Simeon Thoresen (11-1) is one of the best prospects out of Europe today. A protégé of Dream LWGP & World Lightweight Champion superstar Joachim "Hellboy" Hansen, Simeon has proven to be a talented grappler and has used his submission prowess to finish almost every opponent he's faced. The Cage Warrior and DEEP veteran recently won the Pain & Glory 4-man tournament, submitting two fighters in one night. However, it would be fool hardy to think that he lacks in striking ability, Simeon has developing this aspect of his game by training with national boxers, he is now ranked number 2 within the Norwegian armature ranks.
When asked about his feelings for this forthcoming fight Simeon said I love the competition that mixed martial arts provides me and I want to rise to be the best in the world at my weight class. Costa will be the most serious test of my career and I am honoured to face such a strong and experienced fighter.
Michael Costa (11-5) is a former Chute Boxe fighter who brings an exciting style to the ring. Now training under the tutelage of former Pride champion Wanderlei Silva, Costa looks to showcase his aggressive striking against the best fighters in the world. A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt under Cristiano Marcello, Costa is one of the hardest workers in the sport today and maintains a very healthy lifestyle and strict training regiment. His fighting style is very reminiscent of Wanderlei Silva and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua. Costa adds, I wish to grow as a fighter and an athlete. I want to fight for many years and I will do my best to represent my gym, my friends, my country and fans. My faith gives me the strength to win. My faith turned me into a MMA fighter.
TNA Sports would like to thank the Art of War FC for putting on this great fight and is confident that Simeon will produce another stella performance.

the competition was fun, the seminars very informative, but to me the very best part of the show was meeting so many of the people, I've talked to right here in the forums and in the chat room. people like Frank Kotula, Mark and Linda from tr supply, my fish mounting hero, Gary Bruch. and I got to spend the better part of the weekend with one of the true giants in this industry, Bruce Rittle, it was without a doubt the very best experience I could have asked for. oh yeah i placed 3rd in professional 1 sided cold water, and 3rd in small mammal lifesize, not great but not too bad for a guy who failed his test 6 months ago. thanks again for everyone at the pta, truly a great time, Derek

Nail Rock Review
Written by Elessa, Posted in Blog, Product Review, Swatches
Nail stickers are an obsession of mine. They are so simple and fun to do 😀
Do you like nail stickers?
Nail rocks come with 8 sizes and a variety of designs. Some pretty wild ones 😀
This particular one reminds us of The Parking Spot….
Available for $8.00
- Easy and clean application. Stick and go….
- Lots of design options.
- Light on the fingers. You don't feel it too much.
- Long lasting.. about a week.
- Needs more sizes. I found myself trying to cut them down to fit my nails only to create an odd shape.
- Since there was a lack in sizes I made a lot of wrinkles. The good thing was you can only see it up close.
- Time consuming because of all the cutting I have to do. I feel like I can just paint my nails and call it a day.
Overall: I really wanted to love these nail stickers but I found them to be too "stickery." They look amazing from a distance but up close they look like huge stickers on my nails. The Monet look 😀
I have come to the conclusion that the stickers themselves are a bit thick and thats why they don't mould to my fingers. The solution would be to have thinner stickers and more sizes. If they had more sizes I could find ones that fit perfectly and I wouldn't have to waste my time trying to cut them to fit my nails. Observe in the image below how it doesn't form to my cuticle. … sad day. I really wanted to love you.

Kid Gets Foul Ball and Lecture from Rockies Coach
Subscribe to Hot 104.7 – KKLS-FM on
Rene Lachemann is the first base coach for the Colorado Rockies. During a recent game against the Philadelphia Phillies he gave a young boy a foul ball. He also gave the kid a big lecture about being a good boy. Things like eat your veggies, don't leave the toilet seat up, don't get a cell phone and don't play video games like all the other idiots.
I can't decide if it is awesome or a little annoying, but I'm leaning toward awesome.

Postmodernity and Postmodernism: Barth, Pynchon, DeLillo, Murakami and World Cinema
Last Updated: 11/14/2007
Fall quarter
Faculty: Harumi Moruzzi cultural studies, film studies, literature
Major areas of study include literature, cultural studies, contemporary philosophy, sociology and film studies.
Class Standing: Sophomores or above; transfer students welcome.
For the West and Japan, the 19th century was a heady century that embraced the utopian notion of perfectibility of human society through science and technology. However, by the beginning of the 20th century this giddy sense of human perfectibility was severely diminished by various iconoclastic ideas, such as Freudian psychoanalytical theory, Einstein's theory of relativity and Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. A sense of confusion, anarchy and dread expressed in various art works in the first decade or so of the 20th century is strikingly similar to that of our time, which suffers perhaps a more radical and real disillusionment regarding humanity and its future through its experience of the Nazi holocaust and the atomic bomb explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Our time, at the dawn of the 21st century, is generally and vaguely called the postmodern time or postmodernity. But what is postmodernity? What is postmodernism?
In this program we will examine, through lectures, book and essay seminars, films, film seminars and a workshop, the state of our contemporary world, postmodernity, as manifested in the literary works of John Barth, Thomas Pynchon, Don DeLillo and Haruki Murakami, as well as in films directed by Godard, Lynch, and other contemporary filmmakers. We will also explore the significance and implications of such literary and cinematic works through the various theoretical works of Baudrillard, Foucault, Lyotard, Jameson, Habermas, and the like. Students are expected to respond in writing to each of the required readings, in order to facilitate a productive seminar, and to each of the films that we view and discuss, in order to develop reflective thoughts. Students are also expected to write a few formal expository essays during the quarter and one final synthesis paper at the end of the quarter.
Credits: 16 per quarter
Enrollment: 25
Books: www.tescbookstore.com
Special Expenses: Up to $40 for a possible field trip.
Program is preparatory for careers and future studies in literature, cultural studies, philosophy, sociology, and film studies.
Planning Units: Culture, Text and Language

This paper sets out to explore the implications of current patterns of participation and attainment, particularly among 16-19 year olds, for the further expansion of higher education in the UK. It uses a range of recent statistics on participation and attainment to describe what is termed 'system slowdown'. It then goes on to explore a basis for 'system acceleration' through the development of five possible routes into higher education both for 16-19 year olds and for adults. We conclude the paper by looking briefly at a number of inter-related strategies the Government could adopt to encourage 'system acceleration'. We suggest that unless the Government is prepared to consider policy changes of this type, it is unlikely to reach the higher education participation target it has set itself and may also jeopardise the basis for a sustainable lifelong learning system for the 21st century.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
P1744 means "Excessive torque converter slippage"
When your truck goes into OD it will lock up the clutch in the torque converter to eliminate the fluid slippage in there.
This can be caused by a bad control solenoid, a bad converter or a fluid problem. I would suggest first having the trans fluid flushed and use BG Trans Flush system when you do it. I also suggest using synthetic fluid when you refill the system.
This may not cure your problem, but it does in a lot of cases. to find a shop near you that uses the BG Products go to http://www.bgfindashop.com/
Good luck
Yes. All late model cars use the same kind of torque converter lock up system. Ford has actually issued several service bulletins on this and they too recommend trying a flush first.
good luck
