y the time graduation day rolls around, of course, the damage has long been done. Four years of coed dorms, free condoms, Gay Pride Weeks, Take Back the Night Rallies, and all-around liberal indoctrination doesn�t often leave many college seniors with a shred of innocence (never mind a well-rounded classical education). Still, just as the final icing on the cake as if to prove to parents one last time that their hundreds of thousands of dollars was a worthwhile PC investment there is the commencement speech. Fortunately, most college seniors couldn�t care less who their commencement speaker is they don�t plan on listening too closely. They have myriad other things to think about by the time they are standing in the heat waiting to leave campus one last time, rather than listen to the often inane or downright silly platitudes of Chicken Soup-style inspiration from the school�s chosen celeb speaker. The list is still coming in for this year�s winning line-up. But as is typical, commencement day promises to be a treat in oh, so many of the places you�ll go. Most notably, of course, there is Antioch College�s commencement speaker, Mumia Abu-Jamal, who spoke two weekends ago (via audiotape, since he is a convicted murderer a cop-killer on death row in Pennsylvania. Of course, by the time a student reaches his fourth year at Antioch a school where, among many, many other things, there is an official handbook issued to students explaining the different stages of sex, graphically defining at which points a date rape may occur there�s probably little hope that he�d be outraged by a pep talk from a murderer. But take your pick. Children�s Defense Fund head and long-time friend of Hillary Rodham Clinton Marian Wright Edelman has a heavy schedule this month, speaking at Goucher College, the University of Oregon, and the Catholic Duquesne University, undoubtedly advising idealistic young activists that playing the child card is the key to winning every debate. Sen. Ted Kennedy will speak at Massachusetts�s Bentley College next weekend, Clinton media defenders CNN�s Greta Van Susteren at the (again, Catholic) Rosemont College and Newsweek�s Eleanor Clift at Fitchburg State College in Mass. Rev. Tony Campolo, post-Monica spiritual adviser to Bill Clinton will speak at Gordon College in Wenham, Mass. Oprah Winfrey will impart wisdom to graduating students at both North Carolina�s Salem College and Chicago�s Roosevelt University. Gore alpha-male adviser Naomi Wolf is booked at Claremont�s Scripps College, Jesse Jackson at Mount St. Clare College in Iowa, NAACP president (and former Democratic congressman) Kweisi Mfume at the University of Maryland, and NAACP chairman Julian Bond at Missouri�s Washington University. And the list goes on, and is still growing. A book can be written on the inappropriate speakers at Catholic schools alone. Fresh from a decision, ten years in the making, by the National Conference of Catholic Bishops to renew commitment to that which makes Catholic higher education distinctive, many commencement speakers show the very opposite commitments, as the Virginia-based Cardinal Newman Society for the Preservation of Catholic Higher Education has pointed out. You have to wonder what administrators are thinking when they send out speaking invitations. St. Mary College in Kansas succumbed to pressure and withdrew its invitation to Kansas City Star columnist Bill Tammeus who wrote the paper�s editorial on priests and AIDS, an accouterment to a "reporting" series that was subsequently successfully discredited in the mainstream, secular press. At least they changed their mind; no such luck at other Catholic schools. United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan is scheduled to speak at the University of Notre Dame. Under his watch, population-control efforts have increased and he has adamantly resisted efforts to avoid the use of U.S. funds on abortions. Sen. Patrick Leahy will deliver the commencement address at his alma mater, St. Michael�s College in Colchester, Vermont this despite his staunchly pro-choice voting record, which includes opposition to a federal ban on partial-birth abortion. Commencement at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., will feature ABC News medical editor Timothy Johnson. He�s expressed his support for both abortion and physician-assisted suicide. In reporting on the FDA�s quick approval of the first "morning-after kit" he described the move as a "courageous political action" and dismissed concerns that the pill acted to destroy fertilized eggs as a "red herring." (Holy Cross students should, perhaps, be thankful. Only months ago the school sponsored rapper Chuck D from the notorious Public Enemy, who were anti-police before it was cool, on campus for Black History Month.) And then there�s Janet Reno speaking at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia next Saturday. If you can�t make any of these many inspirational addresses, you can read the book. It doesn�t mean to be, but a new book Onward: Twenty-Five Years of Advice, Exhortation, and Inspiration from America�s Best Commencement Speeches could have been published by the Young America�s Foundation only under a different subtitle. Gerald Ford, Vernon Jordan, Elizabeth Drew, Alan Alda, Maya Angelou, Elizabeth Holtzman, Mario Cuomo, Dan Rather, Jane Alexander, Ellen Goodman, Johnnetta Cole (the Clinton administration�s first choice for Education secretary, whose support for Castro and Communism in general kept her from ever becoming a Cabinet member), Wendy Wasserstein, Patricia Schroeder, Gloria Steinem, Mark Shields, Bill Bradley need I go on? Reading Onward I couldn�t help but be grateful that I missed my own undergraduate commencement not so long ago. Although, perhaps my life will never be quite right, because I missed words of wisdom from comedian Bob Newhart. |

The Coast Guard is asking large ships off the Northern California coast to slow down to avoid collisions with endangered whales feasting on an abundance of krill around the Farallon Islands.
The agency is advising the vessels to approach and exit San Francisco Bay at no more than 10 knots, which is about half their normal speed, and watch for large whales around two marine sanctuaries.
The Santa Rosa Press-Democrat reports about 20 large ships cross the sanctuaries a day.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration requested the slowdown broadcast after its biologists counted a remarkable concentration of humpback, blue, gray and fin whales off the Farallon Islands.
Mariners say the whales are feeding on a swarm of krill.
The Coast Guard message is scheduled to continue until Friday.

Hypothetically, if you were in a situation where YOU or your spouse or children were the victim of an unprovoked attack, and you DEFENDED them, would it be fair for you to be arrested, charged, and forced to prove your innocence (and pay for legal representation) if that was the case.

I am looking at 180mm cranks and wondering what the lightest I can get is? This will be for a 1x10 setup.
I have tried Middleburns before but would prefer to stick with GXP/external BB. I was considering a SRAM Rival Compact, dropping the outer ring and staying with the 34t or maybe getting a 110BCD 36t. Unfortunately they don't make Force or Red cranks in 180mm.
Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Reports said that friends and family of Robert Pattinson wanted him to break up with his girlfriend Kristen Stewart.
Those who are close to Rob say it has been difficult to stand by and watch Kristen continues to make a fool of Rob. Robert Pattinson's friends and family are advising him to end his relationship with Kristen Stewart now, before she has a chance to wreak further havoc in his life. They are not happy together and everyone is convinced Kristen will cheat on Rob again.
Summit Entertainment
Breaking Dawn Part 2 New Posters
According to Hollywood Life, Robert Pattinson's sisters, Lizzy and Victoria Pattinson, are disappointed with Robert and Kristen getting back together. It was believed that they had forgiven her after she begged for their forgiveness, but it turns out that they put up a front to appease Rob after he begged them to.
It seemed that Rob's sisters still cannot forgive Kristen on her scandalous cheating scandal last summer with her "Snow White and the Huntsman" director Rupert Sanders.
Hollywood Life also quoted a source who claimed that Rob's sisters "are disgusted by Kristen. They saw how hurt Rob was after the affair, and that anger hasn't washed away yet. They feel Kristen embarrassed the entire family by cheating on Rob so publicly."
Must Read
Rob's sisters "know that Kristen begged and whined to get Rob back. She promised him everything, and they feel she manipulated him, promising things that she just won't deliver. Kristen has reached out to the sisters to make peace, but they have not opened their arms to her. Rob had to tell the girls over and over to forgive Kristen and move on," the article added.
Rob's friends say they held their tongues and kept their opinions to themselves because they knew Rob had to work with Kristen to promote the final Twilight film. Thus, the two need to be together for the promotional tour of their latest film.
However, when the Twilight promo tour is over, they feel compelled to speak out and offer Rob some sound advice. This is not the first time Robert Pattinson has been advised to leave Kristen. Some Twilight fans advised Rob to not to take Kristen back and move on with his life; but Rob brushed off the advice of many.

Hardy creates a striking and tragic heroine, who has become memorable in the annals of literature. Here is an interesting example of the extent to which Hardy was obliged to bow to the dictates of late-Victorian morality. 12 cassettes.
Part One
We were in study hall when the headmaster walked in, followed by a new boy not wearing a school uniform, and by a janitor carrying a large desk. Those who were sleeping awoke, and we all stood up as though interrupting our work.
The headmaster motioned us to sit down, then turned to the teacher and said softly, "Monsieur Roger, I'm placing this pupil in your care. He'll begin in the eighth grade, but if his work and conduct are good enough, he'll be promoted to where he ought to be at his age."
The newcomer hung back in the corner behind the door, so that we could hardly see him. He was a country boy of about fifteen, taller than any of us. He wore his hair cut straight across the forehead, like a cantor in a village church, and he had a gentle, bewildered look. Although his shoulders were not broad, his green jacket with black buttons was apparently too tight under the arms, and the slits of its cuffs revealed red wrists accustomed to being bare. His legs, sheathed in blue stockings, protruded from his yellowish trousers, which were pulled up tight by a pair of suspenders. He wore heavy, unpolished, hobnailed shoes.
We began to recite our lessons. He concentrated all his attention on them, as though listening to a sermon, not daring even to cross his legs or lean on his elbow, and when the bell rang at two o'clock the teacher had to tell him to line up with the rest of us.
When we entered a classroom we always tossed our caps on the floor, to free our hands; as soon as we crossed the threshold we would throw them under the bench so hard that they struck the wall and raised a cloud of dust; this was "the way it should be done."
But the new boy either failed to notice this maneuver or was too shy to perform it himself, for he was still holding his cap on his lap at the end of the prayer. It was a head-gear of composite nature, combining elements of the busby, the lancer cap, the round hat, the otter-skin cap and the cotton nightcap—one of those wretched things whose mute ugliness has great depths of expression, like an idiot's face. Egg-shaped and stiffened by whalebone, it began with three rounded bands, followed by alternating diamond-shaped patches of velvet and rabbit fur separated by a red stripe, and finally there was a kind of bag terminating in a cardboard-lined polygon covered with complicated braid. A network of gold wire was attached to the top of this polygon by a long, extremely thin cord, forming a kind of tassel. The cap was new; its visor was shiny.
"Stand up," said the teacher.
He stood up; his cap fell. The whole class began to laugh.
He bent down and picked it up. A boy beside him knocked it down again with his elbow; he picked it up once again.
"Will you please put your helmet away?" said the teacher, a witty man.
A loud burst of laughter from the other pupils threw the poor boy into such a state of confusion that he did not know whether to hold his cap in his hand, leave it on the floor or put it on his head. He sat down again and put it back on his lap.
"Stand up," said the teacher, "and tell me your name."
The new boy mumbled something unintelligible.
"Say it again!"
The same mumbled syllables came from his lips again, drowned out by the jeers of the class.
"Louder!" cried the teacher. "Louder!"
With desperate determination the new boy opened his enormous mouth and, as though calling someone, shouted this word at the top of his lungs: "Charbovari!"
This instantly touched off an uproar which rose in a crescendo of shrill exclamations, shrieks, barks, stamping of feet and repeated shouts of "Charbovari! Charbovari!" Then it subsided into isolated notes, but it was a long time before it died down completely; it kept coming back to life in fits and starts along a row of desks where a stifled laugh would occasionally explode like a half-spent firecracker.
A shower of penalties gradually restored order in the classroom, however, and the teacher, having managed to understand Charles Bovary's name after making him repeat it, spell it out and read it to him, immediately ordered the poor devil to sit on the dunce's seat at the foot of the rostrum. He began to walk over to it, then stopped short.
"What are you looking for?" asked the teacher.
"My ca—" the new boy said timidly, glancing around uneasily."
The whole class will copy five hundred lines!" Like Neptune's "Quos ego" in the Aeneid, this furious exclamation checked the outbreak of a new storm. "Keep quiet!" continued the teacher indignantly, mopping his forehead with a handkerchief he had taken from his toque. "As for you," he said to the new boy, "you will write out 'Ridiculus sum' twenty times in all tenses." He added, in a gentler tone, "Don't worry, you'll find your cap: it hasn't been stolen."
Everything became calm again. Heads bent over notebooks, and for the next two hours the new boy's conduct was exemplary, despite the spitballs, shot from the nib of a pen, that occasionally splattered against his face. He merely wiped himself with his hand each time this happened, then continued to sit motionless, with his eyes lowered.
That evening, in study hall, he took sleeveguards from his desk, put his things in order and carefully ruled his paper. We saw him working conscientiously, looking up all the words in the dictionary and taking great pains with everything he did. It was no doubt because of this display of effort that he was not placed in a lower grade, for, while he had a passable knowledge of grammatical rules, his style was without elegance. He had begun to study Latin with his village priest, since his parents, to save money, had postponed sending him off to school as long as possible.
His father, Monsieur Charles-Denis-Bartholomé Bovary, had once been an assistant surgeon in the army. Forced to leave the service in 1812 for corrupt practices with regard to conscription, he had taken advantage of his masculine charms to pick up a dowry of sixty thousand francs being offered to him in the person of a hosier's daughter who had fallen in love with his appearance. He was a handsome, boastful man who liked to rattle his spurs; his side whiskers joined his mustache, his fingers were always adorned with rings and he wore bright-colored clothes. He had the look of a pimp and the affable exuberance of a traveling salesman. He lived on his wife's money for the first two or three years of their marriage, eating well, getting up late, smoking big porcelain pipes, staying out every night to see a show and spending a great deal of time in cafés. His father-in-law died and left very little; indignant at this, he "went into the textile business" and lost some money, then he moved to the country, where he intended to "build up a going concern." But since he knew little more about farming than he did about calico, since he rode his horses instead of sending them off to work in the fields, drank his bottled cider instead of selling it, ate the finest poultry in his barnyard and greased his hunting shoes with the fat of his pigs, he soon realized that he would do well to give up all thought of business endeavor.
So for two hundred francs a year he rented a residence that was half farm and half gentleman's estate, on the border between Picardy and the Caux region of Normandy. Melancholy, consumed with regrets, cursing heaven, envious of everyone, he withdrew into seclusion at the age of forty-five, disgusted with mankind, he said, and resolved to live in peace.
His wife had been mad about him in the beginning; she had loved him with a boundless servility that made him even more indifferent to her. She had been vivacious, expansive and brimming over with affection in her youth, but as she grew older she became peevish, nagging and nervous, like sour wine turning to vinegar. She had suffered so much at first without complaining, watching him run after every village strumpet in sight and having him come home to her every night, satiated and stinking of alcohol, after carousing in a score of ill-famed establishments! Then her pride rebelled; she withdrew into herself, swallowing her rage with a mute stoicism which she maintained until her death. She was always busy with domestic and financial matters. She was constantly going to see lawyers or the judge, remembering when notes were due and obtaining renewals; and at home she spent all her time ironing, sewing, washing, supervising the workmen and settling the itemized bills they presented to her, while Monsieur, totally unconcerned with everything and continually sinking into a sullen drowsiness from which he roused himself only to make disagreeable remarks to her, sat smoking beside the fire and spitting into the ashes.
When she had a child it had to be placed in the care of a wet-nurse. The boy was pampered like a prince when he came back to live with them. His mother fed him on jam and candied fruit; his father let him run barefoot and even carried his philosophical pretensions to the point of saying that he might as well go naked, like a young animal. In opposition to his wife's maternal tendencies, he had a certain virile ideal of childhood, and he tried to form his son in accordance with it. He wanted him to be raised harshly, Spartan-style, in order to give him a sturdy constitution. He sent him to bed without a fire, taught him to take hearty swigs of rum and to jeer at religious processions. But, placid by nature, the child showed little response to his father's efforts. His mother kept him tied to her apron-strings; she cut out cardboard figures for him, told him stories and talked to him in endless monologues full of melancholy gaiety and wheedling chatter. In the isolation of her life she transferred all her shattered, abandoned ambitions to her child. She dreamed of high positions, she saw him already grown up, handsome and witty, making a successful career for himself in the Department of Civil Engineering or the magistracy. She taught him to read and even to sing two or three sentimental songs, using an old piano she had. But Monsieur Bovary, who cared little for culture, maintained that such things were "a waste of time." Would they ever have enough money to put him through the government schools, buy him a government position or set him up in business? Besides, "a man could always get ahead in life if he had enough nerve." Madame Bovary bit her lips and the boy continued to run wild in the village.
He tagged after the farmhands and drove the crows away by throwing clods of earth at them. He ate the blackberries growing along the ditches, kept watch over the turkeys with a long stick, pitched hay during harvest time, wandered through the woods, played hopscotch under the church porch on rainy days and, on important holidays, begged the sexton to let him toll the bells, so that he could hang his whole body on the thick rope and feel it lift him into the air when the bells were ringing in full peal.
Thus he grew like an oak. He acquired strong hands and a healthy complexion.
When he was twelve his mother succeeded in arranging for him to begin his education. The village priest agreed to give him lessons. But they were so short and irregular that they accomplished very little. The priest gave them in the sacristy, at odd moments, between a christening and a funeral, hurriedly, without even sitting down; or else he sent for his pupil after the Angelus, on evenings when he did not have to go out. They would go up to his bedroom and set to work while the gnats and moths flew around the candle. It was warm there; the boy would fall asleep and the old man, his hands folded over his stomach, would soon doze off and begin snoring with his mouth open. At other times, when the priest was on his way back to the village after giving the Eucharist to some sick person in the vicinity, he would catch sight of Charles frolicking in the fields, call him over, lecture him for several minutes and take advantage of the opportunity to make him conjugate a verb beneath a tree. They would be interrupted by rain, or some acquaintance passing by. He was always satisfied with his pupil, however, and even said that the "young man" had a good memory.
Charles's mother was determined that he should not stop there. Ashamed, or rather weary, his father gave in without further resistance. They waited another year, until the boy had made his First Communion.
Six more months went by; then, the following year, Charles was finally sent to the lycée in Rouen. His father took him there himself toward the end of October, during the Saint-Romain fair.
It would now be hard for any of us to remember very much about him. He was a boy of moderate temperament; he played during recess, worked in study hall, listened in class, slept well in the dormitory and ate heartily in the dining hall. His temporary guardian was a wholesale hardware dealer on the Rue Ganterie who called for him once a month, on a Sunday, after his shop was closed, and sent him off to take a walk along the waterfront to look at the boats, then brought him back to school at seven o'clock, before supper. Every Thursday evening he wrote a long letter to his mother, using red ink and three sealing wafers; then he would go over his history notebooks or read an old volume of Anacharsis that lay around in the study hall. During class outings he talked with the servant, a countryman like himself.
By working hard he always managed to keep himself somewhere near the middle of the class; once he even earned an honorable mention in natural history. But when he had finished the tenth grade his parents took him out of the lycée and put him in medical school, confident that he would be able to get his baccalaureate degree by his own efforts.
His mother rented a room for him in the house of a dyer with whom she was acquainted. It was on the fifth floor, overlooking the brook known as the Eau-de-Robec. She made arrangements for his board, got him a table and two chairs and sent home for an old cherrywood bed. She also bought a small cast-iron stove and a supply of firewood so that her poor boy could keep himself warm. Then she left at the end of the week, after urging him countless times to behave himself now that he was going to be on his own.
He was staggered by the list of courses he read on the bulletin board: anatomy, pathology, physiology, pharmacy, chemistry, botany, clinical practice and therapeutics, not to mention hygiene and materia medica; to him these were all words of unknown etymology, and they were like so many doors leading into sanctuaries full of solemn shadows.
The lectures were equally baffling; he listened attentively but understood nothing. He worked hard just the same. He took notes, went to all his classes and never missed a single visit to the hospital. He performed his daily tasks like a mill horse walking blindfolded in a circle, ignorant of what he is grinding.
To save him money, his mother sent him a veal roast by the stagecoach each week. He had some of it for lunch every day when he came in from the hospital, kicking the mud off his shoes as he ate. Then he would hurry off again, walking all over town to go to lectures, the amphitheater or another hospital, and finally walking home at the end of the day. In the evening, after the meager dinner his landlord served him, he climbed back up to his room and went to work again, his damp clothes steaming as he sat in front of the red-hot stove.
On clear summer evenings, at the hour when the warm streets are deserted and servant girls are playing battledore and shuttlecock in front of the houses, he would open his window and look out, leaning on his elbows. The brook, which makes this part of Rouen a kind of sordid little Venice, flowed past below him, yellow, violet or blue between its bridges and railings. Workmen, squatting on the bank, were washing their arms in the water. Draped over poles projecting from attics, skeins of cotton were drying in the open air. Opposite him, beyond the rooftops, the vast, pure sky stretched out, and the setting sun cast a reddish glow. How pleasant it must be out there, how cool in the beech grove! He opened his nostrils wide, trying to breathe in the good odors of the country, but they were too far away to reach him.
He became thinner and taller, and his face took on a kind of pained expression which made it almost interesting.
His natural irresponsibility eventually led him to break all his good resolutions. One day he missed a visit to the hospital, the next day a lecture; he liked this first taste of idleness and gradually abandoned his courses altogether.
He began going to taverns and developed a passion for dominoes. To spend every evening shut up in a dirty public room, clicking black-dotted pieces of sheep bone on a marble tabletop, seemed to him a precious exercise of his freedom, and it increased his self-esteem. It was like an initiation into the world, an admission into a realm of forbidden pleasures; and he felt an almost sensual delight each time he took hold of the doorknob to enter the tavern. Many things formerly pent up inside him now burst into the open; he learned verses by heart and sang them at parties, became an enthusiastic admirer of Béranger, learned how to make punch and finally came to know the pleasures of love.
Thanks to this preparatory work, he failed miserably when he took his examination to qualify as an officier de santé.* And his parents were expecting him to come home that very night to celebrate his success!
He set out on foot and stopped at the outskirts of his village. He sent for his mother and told her everything. She excused him, blaming his failure on the unfairness of the examiners, and reassured him a little by promising to smooth things over.
Monsieur Bovary did not learn the truth until five years later; it was an old story by then and he accepted it, especially since he could not admit the possibility that his own offspring might be stupid.
Charles set to work again and ceaselessly crammed for his examination, memorizing the answers to all the questions in advance. He passed with a fairly good grade. What a proud day for his mother! She gave a large dinner party.
Where should he go to practice his new profession? To Tostes. The town had only one elderly doctor. Madame Bovary had been awaiting his death for a long time, and the old man had not yet given up the ghost when Charles moved in across the road as his successor.
But it was not enough to have raised a son, sent him to medical school and discovered Tostes for him to practice in: he needed a wife. She found him one: a Dieppe bailiff's widow, forty-five years old, with a yearly income of twelve hundred francs.
Although she was ugly and thin as a rail, with pimples blossoming on her face like buds in springtime, Madame Dubuc had no shortage of suitors to choose from. Madame Bovary had to oust them all to achieve her purpose; her skill was particularly evident in the way she foiled the schemes of a butcher who had the backing of the clergy.
Charles had envisaged marriage as the beginning of a more pleasant life, feeling that he would be freer and able to dispose of his time and money as he saw fit. But it was his wife who ruled: in front of other people he had to say this and not say that, he had to eat fish every Friday, dress the way she wanted him to and follow her orders in dunning patients who had not paid their bills. She opened his letters, spied on him and listened through the thin wall when women came to his office.
She had to have her hot chocolate every morning, and endless other attentions. She was constantly complaining about her nerves, her chest, her dizzy spells or her fits of depression. The sound of footsteps was painful to her; when people stayed away from her she found her solitude unbearable; when they came to see her it was no doubt because they wanted to watch her die. When Charles came home at night her long, thin arms would emerge from beneath the covers and twine around his neck; after making him sit down on the edge of the bed, she would begin to tell him of her woes: he was neglecting her, he was in love with another woman! She should have listened when people warned her she'd be unhappy! And then she would end by asking him for some kind of tonic to make her feel better, and a little more love.

Chapter One
On an evening in the latter part of May a middle-aged man was walking homeward from Shaston to the village of Marlott, in the adjoining Vale of Blakemore or Blackmoor. The pair of legs that carried him were rickety, and there was a bias in his gait which inclined him somewhat to the left of a straight line. He occasionally gave a smart nod, as if in confirmation of some opinion, though he was not thinking of anything in particular. An empty egg-basket was slung upon his arm, the nap of his hat was ruffled, a patch being quite worn away at its brim where his thumb came in taking it off. Presently he was met by an elderly parson astride on a gray mare, who, as he rode, hummed a wandering tune.
"Good night t'ee," said the man with the basket.
"Good night, Sir John," said the parson.
The pedestrian, after another pace or two, halted, and turned round.
"Now, sir, begging your pardon; we met last market-day on this road about this time, and I zaid 'Good night,' and you made reply 'Good night, Sir John,' as now."
"I did," said the parson.
"And once before that -- near a month ago."
"I may have."
"Then what might your meaning be in calling me 'Sir John' these different times, when I be plain Jack Durbeyfield, the haggler?"
The parson rode a step or two nearer.
"It was only my whim," he said; and, after a moment's hesitation: "It was on account of a discovery I made some little time ago, whilst I was hunting up pedigrees for the new county history. I am Parson Tringham, the antiquary, of Stagfoot Lane. Don't you really know, Durbeyfield, that yourgyman explained that, as far as he was aware, it had quite died out of knowledge, and could hardly be said to be known at all. His own investigations had begun on a day in the preceding spring when, having been engaged in tracing the vicissitudes of the d'Urberville family, he had observed Durbeyfield's name on his waggon, and had thereupon been led to make inquiries about his father and grandfather till he had no doubt on the subject.
"At first I resolved not to disturb you with such a useless piece of information," said he. "However, our impulses are too strong for our judgment sometimes. I thought you might perhaps know something of it all the while."
"Well, I have heard once or twice, 'tis true, that my family had seen better days afore they came to Blackmoor. But I took no notice o't, thinking it to mean that we had once kept two horses where we now keep only one. I've got a wold silver spoon, and a wold graven seal at home, too; but, Lord, what's a spoon and seal?...And to think that I and these noble d'Urbervilles were one flesh all the time. 'Twas said that my gr't-grandfer had secrets, and didn't care to talk of where he came from...And where do we raise our smoke, now, parson, if I may make so bold; I mean, where do we d'Urbervilles live?"
"You don't live anywhere. You are extinct -- as a county family."
"That's bad."
"Yes -- what the mendacious family chronicles call extinct in the male line -- that is, gone down -- gone under."
"Then where do we lie?"
"At Kingsbere-sub-Greenhill: rows and rows of you in your vaults, with your effigies under Purbeck-marble canopies."
"And where be our family mansions and estates?"
"You haven't any."
"Oh? No lands neither?"
"None; th ough you once had 'em in abundance, as I said, for your family consisted of numerous branches. In this county there was a seat of yours at Kingsbere, and another at Sherton, and another at Millpond, and another at Lullstead, and another at Wellbridge."
"And shall we ever come into our own again?"
"Ah -- that I can't tell!"
"And what had I better do about it, sir?" asked Durbeyfield, after a pause.
"Oh -- nothing, nothing; except chasten yourself with the thought of 'how are the mighty fallen.' It is a fact of some interest to the local historian and genealogist, nothing more. There are several families among the cottagers of this county of almost equal lustre. Good night."
"But you'll turn back and have a quart of beer wi' me on the strength o't, Pa'son Tringham? There's a very pretty brew in tap at The Pure Drop -- though, to be sure, not so good as at Rolliver's."
"No, thank you -- not this evening, Durbeyfield. You've had enough already." Concluding thus the parson rode on his way, with doubts as to his discretion in retailing this curious bit of lore.
When he was gone Durbeyfield walked a few steps in a profound reverie, and then sat down upon the grassy bank by the roadside, depositing his basket before him. In a few minutes a youth appeared in the distance, walking in the same direction as that which had been pursued by Durbeyfield. The latter, on seeing him, held up his hand, and the lad quickened his pace and came near.
"Boy, take up that basket! I want 'ee to go on an errand for me."
The lath-like stripling frowned. "Who be you, then, John Durbeyfield, to order me about and call me 'boy'? You know my name as well as I know yours!"
"Do you, do you? That's the secret -- th at's the secret! Now obey my orders, and take the message I'm going to charge 'ee wi'....Well, Fred, I don't mind telling you that the secret is that I'm one of a noble race -- it has been just found out by me this present afternoon, P.M." And as he made the announcement, Durbeyfield, declining from his sitting position, luxuriously stretched himself out upon the bank among the daisies.
The lad stood before Durbeyfield, and contemplated his length from crown to toe.
"Sir John d'Urberville -- that's who I am," continued the prostrate man. "That is if knights were baronets -- which they be. 'Tis recorded in history all about me. Dost know of such a place, lad, as Kingsbere-sub-Greenhill?"
"Ees. I've been there to Greenhill Fair."
"Well, under the church of that city there lie -- "
"'Tisn't a city, the place I mean; leastwise 'twaddn' when I was there -- 'twas a little one-eyed, blinking sort o' place."
"Never you mind the place, boy, that's not the question before us. Under the church of that there parish lie my ancestors -- hundreds of 'em -- in coats of mail and jewels, in gr't lead coffins weighing tons and tons. There's not a man in the county o' South-Wessex that's got grander and nobler skillentons in his family than I."
"Now take up that basket, and goo on to Marlott, and when you've come to The Pure Drop Inn, tell 'em to send a horse and carriage to me immed'ately, to carry me hwome. And in the bottom o' the carriage they be to put a noggin o' rum in a small bottle, and chalk it up to my account. And when you've done that goo on to my house with the basket, and tell my wife to put away that washing, because she needn't finish it, and wait till I come hwome, as I've news t o tell her."
As the lad stood in a dubious attitude, Durbeyfield put his hand in his pocket, and produced a shilling, one of the chronically few that he possessed.
"Here's for your labour, lad."
This made a difference in the young man's estimate of the position.
"Yes, Sir John. Thank 'ee. Anything else I can do for 'ee, Sir John?"
"Tell 'em at hwome that I should like for supper, -- well, lamb's fry if they can get it; and if they can't, black-pot; and if they can't get that, well, chitterlings will do."
"Yes, Sir John."
The boy took up the basket, and as he set out the notes of a brass band were heard from the direction of the village.
"What's that?" said Durbeyfield. "Not on account o' I?"
"'Tis the women's club-walking, Sir John. Why, your da'ter is one o' the members."
"To be sure -- I'd quite forgot it in my thoughts of greater things! Well, vamp on to Marlott, will ye, and order that carriage, and maybe I'll drive round and inspect the club."
The lad departed, and Durbeyfield lay waiting on the grass and daisies in the evening sun. Not a soul passed that way for a long while, and the faint notes of the band were the only human sounds audible within the rim of blue hills.

Charles, Madame Bovary's husband, is not the brightest of creatures, but he dearly loves his wife, puts her on a pedastal, and indulges her by giving her whatever she wants. Although she repays his loyalty and quiet devotion with emotional, financial and physical ruin, his love is steadfast, pure and true. The title is 'Madame Bovary' but the real hero is her sweet kind husband Charles and, to a lesser extent her child, Berthe, who loves her mother unconditionally despite the fact that her mother hardly seems to truly care about anyone but herself. I have heard that one mark of great literature is that its value changes with a reader in direct relationship to the reader's life circumstances and experience. To a very young reader growing up in a time when cell phones, the Internet, and Nintendo are all old school inventions, this book may seem irrelevant. It makes sense that the very young may have extreme difficulty relating. However, given the maturity, serious study and reflection on human interactions, emotions, and the ability to foresee consequences, a more experienced reader and lifelong student will find themes that transcend the test of time. (Such as self-control, generosity of heart, the consequences of infidelity and other forms of impulsivity, loneliness, boredom, what makes a person ordinary vs. extraordinary, etc.) Which brings me to another point I understand about great literature: it stands the test of time. Written in 1857, then banned in France for 'offenses against public morals and religion' then later considered brilliant by his peers and great writers that followed, this book very easily fits into the category of 'great literature.' Like others have said, if one will only SLOW DOWN and deeply consider each event and how it relates to other events both in the book and in present-day reality, one can find great lessons on morality and the human condition that transcend time. (These same things may be said about many other great works, such as any number of those by Shakespeare.) Yes, one can learn a great deal about humanity in this book, if it is given the fair chance it deserves. And hey, if you get little from it now, don't write it off forever--revisit it in 5 or 10 years and see if this book says something different to you then. A marvelous classic!!! Flaubert was a genius!

Flaubert's talent for description is something few (or none) are able to do today. Some may have a problem with the great detail, however if there are any interested in the nineteenth century and how people lived and breathed, this novel should certainly help. (Other than Flaubert, I might also recommend Balzac for having much of the same gift for realism.) Brilliant book, full of sensuality, but not without its darkness. Easily one of the best I have ever read.

It was a long snooze fest until about half way through the book. So if you can make it to half way you will start liking it! However, even past the half way point I found this book dull and sometimes predictable. It's not really about anything except a wife who cheats on her husband with different 'lovers'. The only thing I'm happy about is that I get to check this off my list of classics to read, but this is definitely not one I'll be re-reading!

This is the best book I have read in a while. The French tend to write in a flowery and beautiful style that can entertain the toughest of critics. It is delicately permiscuous and extremely interesting. Bravo, Flaubert!

Lydia Davis's is by far the best. She makes available to the reader of English what Flaubert's intent--not just his words. Wonderful and eye-opening!
"Madame Bovary" is a true world classic and deserves every reader's attention.

Emma Bovary believes love and marriage are supposed to be like a flowery romance novel, and is she in for disappointment! She expects marriage to a doctor to provide her with all the adoration and frivolities she desires, but finds that real life can never live up to her fantasies. She involves herself in affairs to fill the emptiness at the expense of a man who truly adores her. She is an actress, the stage is her actual life, and her end is like a tragic heroine...just like she wanted! Amazing cautionary tale, even in the 21st century!

This book held great potential and the writing was beautiful, but it left me dissatisfied. This was due to its painful redundancy when referring to her affairs. Madame Bovary was about a young women in an unfulfilling marriage that left her in a tragic state of boredom. However she would not be denied her passion which she wished so strongly for. She had two affairs and both were so similar in the end that were begging for something more. The ending was depressing, but the moral that it conveyed I must say was the most satisfying part. Over all I truly wish Flaubert would have done more. I declare myself dissapointed.

Madame Bovary is a story of passion, adventure, and desire as Emma Bovary is a young woman filled with romantic fantasies and in need of great excitement however she finds herself bored in a dull relationship. She takes these desires and indulges them in a series of affairs. Gustave Flaubert¿s imagery and symbolism throughout the novel characterize Emma, and the tone of the book changes as much as Emma¿s personality and mood. Towards the beginning of the novel, the reader will feel sympathy for Emma due to the lack of attention from her husband, Charles however, one cannot help but to grow a disliking and annoyance of Emma as she desperately throws herself at other men for attention and treats her caring, kind husband harshly. Flaubert emphasizes the importance of the choices one makes and how they will affect you sooner or later, whether it be lying to a spouse or pushing away the one¿s that truly love you. Emma finds herself alone, desperate, and full of melancholy as her tangled web of lies create more problems, getting her deeper and deeper into trouble. Though the ending is depressing, it brings an uplifting feeling that shows Charles¿s never ending love for Emma and warns the reader of the hardships deceit can bring. Madame Bovary is interesting and full of an excitement that keep the pages turning, and though it isn¿t my favorite book, it is good novel that gives an insight in life and teaches a great lesson of human folly.

I have put off reading this for years, having listened to others absolutely salivate over it. I find the heroine devoid of anything that commands interest or respect. People comment on how controversial Flaubert was on writing about adultery the way he does-however, how dangerous is it really to give a character come-uppance by poisoning her for her two affairs? Ooh! Flaubert, if you wanted to really frighten people, how about making one of her affairs into a happy relationship with no regrets and let Charles die anyway? It's a cautionary tale however you look at it-working people, get above your station and this is what happens... Emma, get over it. You don't have to rise at 5 to plough the land and milk the cows, as would have been your fate as a farm girl. You have a secure home, a little girl, (although you show pathological indifference, you sometimes show flashes that you care for her),and a husband that adores you. Channel your imagination into something other than wasted fantasies. No matter how pathetic a woman is,and we've all met them, she inevitably finds something to do with her life. This is not a convincing portrayal of depression either, if that's what the defenders of this novel would argue. However, I was utterly charmed by the minutiae of country life, the petty things upon which people placed importance, the pictures of the land, the food, the traditions. Truly the highlight of the book. Also flawed is the way that the reader is catapulted into how the heroine feels-we are expected to understand and if not sympathise, at least relate. there is no slow build-up. The reminiscings about the convent are wasted too-so, she refinds religion later, as a nod to her forgotten childhood? Weak.

Falubert is a master of clearly depicting physical, emotional and visual details. It's a painful predicament we find Emma Bovary in, but she is of free will makes her own choices. Don't let the subject of this book dissuade you. If you like great reading, Madame Bovary is a must.

Read this book years ago and quite frankly detested the book. I almost gave up but i persevered and the ending was most satisfying in that it was over.

I read this as a school study... it gets alright in the middle, but I really had to push my way through. I'm not sure why this is considered to be such a 'classic'.

This ebook is a horrible translation of Flaubert's great novel. It reads as if the publisher used google translate and didn't review the final product. Obvious errors such as "enfin" presented as "in fine" instead of "therefore," "le cure' " presented as "the village cure" instead of "the village priest" are inaccurate and inexcusable.

I was reading a free (or nearly free) public domain version of this classic novel on my Nook but got tired of the stilted and awkward translation. I eventually switched to the Lydia Davis translation and am very glad I did. This translation really makes the novel come alive for readers in English. Flaubert was a groundbreaking novelist whose work still resonates today - this translation makes that clear.

Lowe's & Habitat for Humanity Women Build Day
Updated: Saturday, August 3 2013, 01:12 AM EDT
KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - Women across the country are raising their hammers in honor of Women Build Day.
Female volunteers have partnered with Lowe's Heroes today to build a special home for the Kalamazoo Valley Habitat for Humanity.
Lowe's donated the organization a $5,000 gift card along with in-store volunteer training to help support women builders.
A local volunteer said she'd like to see more women building, because they can do just as much as men can.
Lowe's is donating more than $1 million to help the Habitat's Women Build program create more houses in the U.S.

Have a question for other moms like you? CafeMom Answers is the mom-only place to get answers to your questions about parenting, your home, and more.
I work in a kitchen that gets about 90 to 100 degrees. I'm six months pregnant, and I drink water constantly, but I still feel dizzy and like I'm going to pass out sometimes. I have to carry trays of dishes and food, and push heavy carts long distances.
My boss acts concerned but doesn't really do anything. Should I tell my doctor? It's really getting hard on my body and I am out of breath most of the time.

Yes, talk to your doc.... they can write you a note to be put on light duty. BUT if that is not an option at your place of business they they might force you out on disability. Can you talk to some one in HR to see what they need, what available and what you need to do to make it happen??

Part II of Jason Whitlock's 'Real Talk'
If you're a fan of FOXSports.com columnist Jason Whitlock — and even if you're not — we know you will enjoy his latest endeavor.
In Jason's words: "It's time to take our relationship to the next level ... time to talk ... with Real Talk."
Each Wednesday, Jason will produce a weekly podcast called "Real Talk" — a 20-40 minute show including guest conversations, commentaries and raw sports discussion. No agendas. No topics too taboo to touch.
Get ready to think, laugh, cry and ponder what's going on within the worlds of sports and entertainment. Forget the surface-level, "same old, same old." Forget the ordinary, the mundane, the stale.
And you need look no further than his first guest — former AOL Fanhouse columnist Jay Mariotti — for proof. In Whitlock's exclusive interview, Mariotti shared inside details from his controversial arrest last year on domestic violence charges and the resulting backlash which cost him jobs at ESPN and AOL. Listen now for Part II of Whitlock's riveting conversation with Mariotti.
Expect to think, to be challenged, to be entertained by the one and only "Big Sexy." Tune in to FOXSports.com every Wednesday.

Reviews by jasonjlewis:jasonjlewisTexas 3.7/5 rDev -1.6% look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5 I begin my tasting of this beer on a medium cold night with rain as i start my brew day. My thoughts are clear and my pallet is ready. As I pour this beer I notice that it does not create much head, and the retention is only subpar. The color is perfect and I debate on the score, disagreing with the 20% weight and deciding to adjust for overall scoring purpose. As I smell the beer, my taste buds dance with a delictable sense of delight. An almost candy-like raisin plum tantalizes my nose creating a sensation that my senses are dancing with the universe and harmony has been accomplished in the universe. As I taste this beer, Ihe sensation of my nostrils is disappointed, like when you take a chick home from the bar who looks good, but then her boobs are kind of flappity and you're all like, well she's really cool and has a good looking face, so I'll go through with it anyways. Not bad, but kind of a story of mild disappointment having been so delightfully set up. Mouthfeel is fairly big for the style. It's almost chewy with a little bit of of astringency. As I've described before, this beer sets me up to be epic, but then slightly disappoints. Not bad though. Serving type: bottle 01-15-2011 03:19:56 | More by jasonjlewis More User Reviews:chickenfleaFlorida 3.41/5 rDev -9.3% look: 3.75 | smell: 3.25 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5 Pours a semi-hazed auburn. Half finger off white head shows poor retention. Light lacing on the sides of the glass just fall back into the beer. Ripe sweet cherries and raisin really come out in the aroma which I found to be very pleasing. Some caramel malt, alcohol, yeast and biscuit are in there too. The flavor is heavy with prune juice and raisin. The cherry component is actually quite tart. A spicy bitterness presents itself, but it does not last. Very little Belgian yeast notes. Medium mouthfeel. Carbonation is average. Texture is watery. This beer is a good take on the style, although it tastes a little "young." It is tasty without being too heavy.

No Dealing Desk
Definition of 'No Dealing Desk'
A way of forex trading that provides immediate access to the interbank market. The interbank market is where foreign currencies are traded. This is different than trading through the dealing desks that are found in many banks and financial institutions. By using a dealing desk, a forex broker who is registered as a Futures Commission Merchant (FCM) and Retail Foreign Exchange Dealer (RFED) can offset trades. If a no dealing desk system is used, positions are automatically offset and then transmitted directly to the interbank.
Investopedia explains 'No Dealing Desk'
Forex brokers who use this system work directly with market liquidity providers. When trading through a no dealing desk, instead of dealing with one liquidity provider, an investor is dealing with numerous providers in order to get the most competitive bid and ask prices. An investor using this method has access to instantly executable rates.

If you were to write a list of everything you wanted in a friend, 'sweet'', 'funny'' and 'modest'' would probably all feature as desirable traits. And they''re all words you could use to describe the actress Olivia Colman -- who''s also one of the most refreshingly honest people you could meet.
Take her thoughts on cosmetic surgery, for example. "I'"I'd love my eye bags to be sucked off, I'd love to have a chin again. I think everybody thinks that, but whether you do it or not, I don''t know. If you see me next time and I look amazing, I''ll have had something done," she says, giggling.
Colman is riding rather high at the moment. She''s just starred in the runaway ITV success Broadchurch and has two Bafta nominations: for Best Leading Actress in The Accused and Best Female Comedy Performance in Olympics sitcom 2012.
Whether she wins them both at the Bafta Television Awards tomorrow remains to be seen, but they show how versatile an actress she is.
Although she''s still most recognised for the Channel 4 sitcom Peep Show, in which she made her name alongside David Mitchell and Robert Webb, the 2011 film Tyrannosaur, in which she played a physically abused wife, revealed she was just as strong at drama. The role also brought her numerous awards, including a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival and a British Independent Film Award. "If I was allowed to do both [comedy and drama], I''d be so happy," she says. "The more you do one, the more they forget you in the other one, it''s so tricky and you don''t really ever have a choice. But I love both.
"If I was really pushed, if the gun was against my head, I think I might ... oh, I don''t know! At the moment, I''m really revelling in doing drama though, because I wasn''t allowed to do it for so long." It''s drama she''s about to do again, as she teams up with Tyrannosaur director Paddy Considine in ITV''s follow-up to last year''s The Suspicions Of Mr Whicher.
This feature-length one-off picks up the story some time after Jack Whicher has lost his case against Constance Kent, the half- sister of murdered Saville, who eventually confessed her guilt five years after she was acquitted. After the trial, Whicher suffered depression and quit the police force.
In this new fictional case, he rescues respectable country lady Susan Spencer (Colman) from a violent robbery in a dodgy part

Cathy's new column on Narnia is worth reading, and the last line is laugh-out-loud funny. In the piece, she quotes anti-Narnian Christians:
He [C.S. Lewis] built entire surrealistic worlds for our children to escape into — escape from reality and from real life. These worlds invariably contain creatures of every sort endearing to our children, performing heroic feats and displaying often greater powers than our savior.
We do not retreat from reality, we rediscover it. As long as the story lingers in our mind, the real things are more themselves… By dipping them in myth we see them more clearly.In other words, Middle Earth and Narnia are about all kinds of things, but escapism isn't one of them.

Rhinoplasty to Improve Profile, Tip and Nose Width
on 17 Jul 2009
Hi, I just had a septorhinoplasty 3 weeks ago and I am experiencing the same sort of swelling on my tip, in that I can feel a slight difference when I rub my finger down my nose. I'm not too alarmed because the tip feels kind off cushy like there is fluid in it or something, if it was hard I might be a little more alarmed. I think this is fairly normal as the tip is usually the most swollen part of the nose and tends to take the longest to go down. -

Uncertain About Rhinoplasty for "Masculine" Nose
on 13 Jul 2009
My ENT performed the surgery. I was initially hesitant at the thought of an ENT performing a cosmetic procedure, however he had over 20 years experience in facial plastic surgery (especially noses)and was recommended to me by my usual ENT. I also asked around as much as I could to find out about his reputation by chance I came across someone who had him perform a revision on her nose after an initial botched surgery, she sang his praises, which gave me a bit of extra confidence. My procedure was largely covered by health insurance and medicare (as it was a septorhinoplasty) therefore I only had to pay a very small gap, hence the low price. To satisfy my curiosity I went and had a consult with a plastic surgeon, and although I had a really good feeling about the plastic surgeon, he was going to charge me astonomically as I would additionally have to pay for an ENT to perform the septoplasty and none of it would have been covered by health insurance as it would have been deemed a "strictly cosmetic procedure". I know that price really shouldn't be a deciding factor when it comes to choosing a surgeon, but I was uncertain of who to go with and as much as I hate to admit it the price definately swayed me in the end. -
