Abrams, M(eyer) H(oward)
M(eyer) H(oward) Abrams 1912–
American critic and editor.
Although Abrams has written many scholarly essays and edited several texts of literary criticism, his reputation as a critic rests on his two books on the English Romantic movement, The Mirror and the Lamp and Natural Supernaturalism. In the former, Abrams elaborated on the images of "the mirror" as a metaphor for the classical view that art must imitate reality and "the lamp" as a metaphor for the Romantic belief that artists should express personal perceptions through their creations. Using these symbols, Abrams studied Romantic critical theory and traced its break from the tradition of mimesis.
In Natural Supernaturalism Abrams identified Christian and biblical patterns in Romantic literature and effectively outlined his theory of the Romantic method of secularizing religious concepts. In addition, Abrams deemed the Romantic period "a decisive turn in Western thought" and followed its influence on twentieth-century literature.
(See also Contemporary Authors, Vols. 57-60.)
Thomas M. Raysor
The title of Mr. Abrams' book [The Mirror and the Lamp] is not fanciful external ornament like those with which scholars sometimes mistakenly attempt to adorn a serious theoretical or historical work, but an indication of a characteristic purpose, to consider the extent to which metaphorical thinking inevitably enters into the theory of poetry, as well as into poetry itself, and indeed into most human thought. The mirror is the inadequate metaphor continually used as the symbol of arts which regard their function as an imitation or reflection of reality; and the lamp is an opposed metaphor occasionally used by romantic theorists for the light from the artist's own mind, which not only illuminates but somehow modifies the objects of perception. In brief, then, the subject of the book is the contrast of neoclassic with romantic literary theory, considered not only logically but in the logical implications of antithetical systems of metaphors.
This method of analysis is very fruitful as Abrams uses it, as he frequently must because of the nature of his materials. We find, for instance, an analysis of the objects of imitation in imitative art which might convince any fanatical expressionist theorist of modern painting that representationists have never, or almost never, been so naïve as to put forward a photographic theory of painting, in spite of the deceptive implications of the mirror metaphor, which seems to do just that. We...

Charles Rosen
M. H. Abrams, whose Mirror and the Lamp is one of the most influential books on the early nineteenth century, is a master of the themes of Romanticism. It is doubtful if anyone has surpassed, or that many have equaled, the range and depth of his reading. His point of departure in Natural Supernaturalism is Wordsworth's scheme for the great unfinished poem called The Recluse, a poem which was to crown the poet's work and to which the rest of his verse was to stand as chapels to the main body of a cathedral.
From the "Prospectus" Wordsworth wrote for The Recluse, Abrams isolates the concept of the spiritual resurrection of mankind by the marriage of nature to the mind of man. For Wordsworth, mind or spirit here has become largely secular: God appears—if at all—only as within man's mind, and Abrams recalls a rich seventeenth-century tradition that resists any attempt to place God outside ourselves…. The wedding of man and nature is seen by Abrams as achieving its full meaning as a manifestation of the millennium, a vision of the apocalypse secularized into revolution, but he characterizes this union with nature as a consolation and a substitute for the shattered revolutionary dream.
From here, Abrams is concerned chiefly with Romantic metaphors of alienation—of man from nature, of man from himself. The marriage of nature to the mind of man is a metaphor for the overcoming of...

Wayne C. Booth
When M. H. Abrams published a defense, in 1972, of "theorizing about the arts" ["What's the Use of Theorizing about the Arts?"], some of his critics accused him of falling into subjectivism. He had made his case so forcefully against "the confrontation model of aesthetic criticism" and had so effectively argued against "simplified" and "invariable" models of the art work and of "the function of criticism" that some readers thought he had thrown overboard the very possibility of a rational criticism tested by objective criteria.
In his reply to these critics ["A Note on Wittgenstein and Literary Criticism," published in the journal English Literary History], Abrams concentrates almost entirely on whether his critical pluralism is finally a skeptical relativism. He does not even mention his great historical works, The Mirror and the Lamp and Natural Supernaturalism, and he has nothing to say about how his pluralistic theories could be applied to the writing of history. But then, surprising as it seems once we think about it, neither of the two histories says much about his method either. (p. 139)
In both of these recent articles, Abrams proposes critical pluralism as a base for humanistic inquiry. He sees belief in a plurality of valid critical modes not simply as one interesting possibility but as a position forced upon us by what we now know, both about the history of critical rivalry and...

M. H. Abrams
Wayne Booth is quite right [see excerpt above]: for all my interest in the methods of literary criticism, I say nothing about method in my two historical books, The Mirror and the Lamp and Natural Supernaturalism. The reason for my silence on this issue is simple: these books were not written with any method in mind. Instead they were conceived, researched, worked out, put together, pulled apart, and put back together, not according to a theory of valid procedures in such under-takings, but by intuition. I relied, that is, on my sense of rightness and wrongness, of doubt and assurance, of deficiencies and superfluities, of what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. (p. 176)
I confess that I was taken aback to discover, in Booth's just analysis, what a strange book Natural Supernaturalism is, and how extraordinary are the claims it presumes to make on its readers. It involves, explicitly or implicitly, a wide range of propositional truth-claims, of which only a fraction assert literal causation. Other propositions are assertions about an epoch. "Romanticism," and its special importance to us, and about the validity of the contention of some Romantic writers that they are "prophets" or "seers"; others assert not only facts, but values—the great values in the poems of certain Romantic authors, especially Wordsworth, and the high moral values that constitute the general Romantic "ethos"; still other implicit...

Associated Press
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- RZA sees the latest Wu-Tang Clan endeavor as the end of the influential rap group as we know it.
The 44-year-old Wu-Tang leader and producer says he's still six weeks or so away from finishing the Clan's overdue new album "A Better Tomorrow." The process has made him realize he's got different priorities these days.

R. Kelly confirmed last night that he has recorded a song with Justin Bieber. "I just did a song [with him]," Kelly told Vibe. "[Justin] just called me to do a song and it's hot.

Earlier this week, Eminem sat down for a Q&A session with some of his fans as part of SiriusXM's "Town Hall" series. While there, he fielded a number of questions from an audience of SiriusXM listeners and moderator Sway Calloway. They covered topics including his motivation for making new album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2" – spoiler: he said, "I just want to rap" – and how he feels about a high school teacher using his lyrics as a classroom tool ("If you can get away with that, then that's cool," he said).
'CrazySexyCool' biopic premiered on VH1
Next year will mark the 20th anniversary of TLC's landmark album "CrazySexyCool," and on VH1, Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas revealed what really happened behind the music in "CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story." You'll hear tales from financial mismanagement and internal scuffles to the untimely death of member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes in 2002, as the biopic promises to offer a no-holds-barred account of how one of the top-selling girl groups of all time fell to its knees.
He says getting shot at increased his hip-hop credibility
Rap star Waka Flocka Flame is adamant his 2010 shooting has boosted his bank balance by making him more credible with hip-hop fans.

Hi I'm Bill O'Reilly thanks for watching us tonight the real reason President Obama is not.
Trying to solve the fiscal chaos that is -- subject of this evening's talking points memo.
As you may have noticed -- getting very frustrated personal -- and has nothing to do with ideology.
It has to do with performance.
It's obvious to anyone who pays attention to mr.
Obama is not trying to solve the fiscal mess.
He does not want to cut spending and will not put forth any specific plans to do so.
He will also not give his vision on entitlement reform things like social security and Medicare which are draining the treasury.
Mean to -- as the leader of the country his job to get the debates started with concrete.
For Obama simply will not do it.
To the great detriment of the nation.
That's a fact and here's another fact -- largely letting me get away.
The key question is why why is mr.
Obama not trying to solve complex problems recent article in the Washington Post provide some insight.
About the lack of compromise on mr.
Obama's part.
Well but also flipped the Republican held house back to the democratic control allowing Obama pushed forward with a progressive agenda on gun control immigration.
Climate change and the economy during his final two years in office according to congressional Democrats.
And others familiar.
-- Obama's thinking and quote.
So what we have is a re elected president basically not trying to reach consensus.
On important issues rather.
He's hoping that the -- stalemate will tee off orders will then throw out Republicans and give him full control in 2014.
That's very disturbing.
As Brit Hume said last night on the factor.
The president seems prepared to let the public suffer almost as much as possible as long as he can blame somebody else.
This is not what we expected presidents presidents in the end are supposed to be that people who put on a big boy advance and prepared to shoulder responsibility.
It's all about the progressive theme of greater -- it.
But the folks -- now so we can save them later by changing America into -- far left nation.
It's almost like mr.
Obama is sabotaging the country so he can reshape it.
There comes a point where every nation in history gets what it is -- -- -- Japan Germany Russia all were destroyed.
By venal leaders exploiting an apathetic population.
I pray that doesn't happen on us but we -- people.
Need to wise up fast.
That's -- now for the top story tonight reaction with us are brought our place to a Monica Crowley now -- of car do you believe -- Post article I believe that he indeed is trying to flip congress to -- -- democratic no question about that why would be surprised that a democratic president want to have a democratic president to work where it's at the expense of the -- I don't think he's doing it because he doesn't want to help the country -- he doesn't think what's best for the country.
Would be.
To work with congress he -- tried his compromised older in his first -- this congress they have said they did not want to work with them they have -- -- -- wanted to let's get specific rather than -- PS -- The Washington Post and Brit Hume.
Not compatible ideology usually both make the same point.
The president is willing to have Americans -- -- For the greater good of trying to have Nancy Pelosi be the news item that outdoor supposed to talk about have one in the country to suffer what -- talked about was he wants a -- congress -- no compromise he's making it -- -- -- really did you read about your article.
He's making it impossible.
To reach accord with the Republican bill it's one thing to say.
He want to flip the house of another thing to say -- purposely wants the American people to suffer these I don't you know if that's possible to get anything done do you agree that for a second.
Yes and so you have to go back to who Barack Obama is remember for years ago when he was campaigning in a way -- He talked about the fundamental transformation of the nation we now have over four years of evidence as to exactly what he meant so what he wants -- the last two years of his presidency to look like his first two years meaning.
A wide open political -- he didn't do this stuff in the first two years what are you talking about he got socialized medicine if he got.
He got in what -- normally would -- -- -- is illegal -- wrong here's here's where you're going wrong you might disagree with Obama care.
All right -- got it done all right he got it done and how did he get it's he doesn't matter how we got majorities in congress doesn't just what he wants for the last two -- It's like here he hasn't even submitted to any group holes do we see the difference right -- that then he was saying I want.
Socialized medicine would have you want to call now he doesn't do anything he just says.
We want to raise taxes here let's raise them again right you've enjoyed this guy I want there's nothing puts forth -- yeah.
He's not a problem solver he isn't fundamental transformer you must offer a dollar not normally presidents I disagree with things that are he's up for two dollars and fifty cents in tax cuts for every dollar -- it has not.
In the cities but it's just for -- that's he's not cuts in Medicare we don't know -- -- that's not specific he's he has to say here -- the programs that are gonna go down.
Here's how we're gonna reform Medicare and social security and the man.
Refuses not true yeah it is here I think I was garlic whole program hope -- not -- the -- you'll see you didn't even widen.
Dare program he's city clients cut entitlements it's tough yeah entirely if you -- program.
What do you want the total because you know why not lie and -- and yeah is typical allies -- why why.
You know you don't like they're an you don't like what he's still can't we don't sit -- -- call me a liar I am.
Give them unlike -- we can ever disagree when not funny a liar and a I don't know -- you're -- that's not -- -- -- I'm not lying with words of encouragement there's a difference between having a disagreement and calling me a liar yes a personal that's why I'm calling -- a -- to be one program he said he caught he would cut.
Medicare and many that you attack not only cuts but is it awkward cut programs you ask for your program those -- programs are that those are programs OK you know when he has said anything that even approaches what you're saying -- he doesn't mean it undid his facility and certainly you also I want I want to -- -- call our.
All right -- I don't usually do what I just -- him.
I asked him four times calls to give me one specific program credible all the federal budget 3.2 trillion dollars worth of spending.
That Obama said he would caught he would watch his actual hurt himself and we walked.
I said he -- hurt himself with his -- because he's talked about mathematics you know do you know any specific 3.2 trillion in spending.
All right I -- calls for one he can't provide.
Can you I cannot people -- -- both of our people both of our people ladies and gentlemen.
Cannot provide one program.
At a 3.2.
Trillion in spending that this president said he would -- and you sit there and you say you're not.
You don't want to the president of -- of the people to suffer in this country that's definitely untrue you think you do this they leave within that Sunni unit oval office for five years do you think he would ever really that's where -- seventeen.
Trillion dollar debt.
And refusing to say one program that he caught.
You don't think that's put the burden on the American people Medicare I keep telling it like you know you're not telling me anything.
Thanks Jack what you're saying there's another -- how important -- it's an obscenity after this right.
No it's not a disagreement you can't back up you can't give me one example.
Of any federal program that he said he would -- Not what I just say.
What we're -- what I did.
Well we -- where is that you can't -- he's going to he's talking about Boehner isn't going to cut it.
It's gonna take money away from the sixties who year olds 58 year old is he -- -- it -- from the states where is he got to cut Medicare would -- be less money going to the states there'd be less money going -- less money reimbursed a doctor and much less actually talked about the cutting the reimbursement.
To doctors at -- this is just.
Pull cutting reimbursements to doctors and Hollywood -- -- -- about this is bull hill answering a question that's what he talked about he talked about cutting reimbursement I'm giving you less work.
All I will say is that this president has done the exact opposite he and Reid and Pelosi have done and an unprecedented spending -- out of the last four years.
He has amassed six trillion dollars in debt over four years which is -- record I'm I'm.
I'm so angry about and I apologize.
Most people I should -- used the word lie.
But you did not put forth here.
Anything that he -- you reimbursements to hospitals you don't know how much you don't know where you don't know to whom you don't know anything and we had a little program and the reason you don't know what.
Is because a guy that you Revere refuses.
To say anything specific about anything all he wants to do is raise taxes.
That's it.
That's not how you compromise that's not how you get anything done that's not how you bring down -- is actually -- -- -- progressive base by saying you want to cut those that don't give a damn about progressive base.
I give a damn about the American people and we're being content and -- -- and the -- and put not BS I disagree ringtone I disagree.
They go overboard.
No I think it was great I'm finally Monica's book.
What the -- just happen and then it got a very good golf now in paperback next on the rundown this.

Born on March 7, 1974 in Fort Wayne, IN, Fischer was raised by her father, Jim, and her mother, Anne, a former acting teacher, both of whom started calling her Jenna despite naming her Regina. The family soon picked up stakes from Indiana, however, and settled in St. Louis, MO. Meanwhile, Fischer showed an interest in acting from a very young age, attending her first acting class - taught by her mother - at six years old. After going to Pierremont Elementary School, she attended Nerinx Hall High School, a private, all-girls Catholic school in the St. Louis suburb of Webster Groves. Following high school, she earned a bachelor's degree in theater from Truman State University and soon after moved to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. To support herself, she worked as an office temp for five years - an experience that no doubt helped her play Pam on "The Office." But before she landed the role, Fischer struggled through numerous casting calls, and even found herself the victim of a fraudulent audition. Thinking she was up for a role as a member of "International Spice Girls," she came to the slow realization that the producer who hired her was really a pimp in a high-end prostitution ring. She quickly changed all her phone numbers and never heard from the "producer" again.
Fischer had a rather unconventional entry into professional acting when she landed a role in a sex education video made for mental patients who were being discharged from the UCLA Medical Center. She was paid $100. Soon enough, Fischer began to appear in more legit roles in films and on television during the late 1990's. One of her first feature appearances was in "The Specials" (2000), a gentle superhero spoof written by Fischer's future husband, James Gunn. Fischer had known Gunn for most of her life, since she took acting classes with his brother, Sean, at the age of six. The life-long friends eventually dated and were married on Oct. 7th, 2000. Meanwhile, Fischer became more prevalent on television in the new millennium, appearing on episodes of "Spin City" (ABC, 1996-2002), "What I Like About You" (The WB, 2002-06) and Judd Apatow's "Undeclared" (Fox, 2001-02). During her pre-"Office" period, Fischer also directed her first film, "Lollilove" (2004), a mockumentary about a prosperous young Hollywood couple (Fischer and Gunn) who endeavor to help the homeless. The film was eventually released on DVD in 2006.
In 2005, Fischer landed her defining role as Pam Beesly in "The Office" (2005-), an NBC comedy based on the original BBC series. The British "Office" (2001-03) was a dry, often-awkward sitcom about the day to day lives of office workers at a paper supply company. Created by Ricky Gervais, who also starred as obnoxious office manager David Brent, and Stephen Merchant, the wildly popular show won a slew of awards in Britain and elevated Gervais to superstar status. Gervais and Merchant also served as executive producers when NBC remade the show in the U.S., which debuted on March 24th, 2005 and starred Stephen Carell in the Gervais role as the clueless Michael Scott. While Carell earned the most laughs, the heart and soul belonged to the show's young, star-crossed lovers: salesman Jim Halpert (Jim Krasinski) and receptionist Pam Beasley (Fischer). Working against conventional Hollywood wisdom, Fischer decided to play Beesly as somewhat folksy, frumpy and modest. The gamble worked and after a shaky first season, "The Office" soon rocketed to NBC's number one show.
"The Office" quickly turned Fischer into a star. But through it all, she remained remarkably down-to-Earth, a reflection of her Midwestern upbringing. While filming the show, Fischer maintained a chatty, confessional MySpace blog detailing life on the set and forged lasting friendships with her costars, particularly with Angela Kinsley, who played Pam's sometimes-nemesis Angela Martin. Between "Office" seasons, Fisher upped her profile, appearing in Gunn's monster movie, "Slither" (2006), while promoting "Lollilove," which had been released on DVD. By the third season of "The Office," Fischer began to reap the rewards of her work. The show won its first of many various awards, while Fischer herself was nominated for an Emmy in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category. She also made appearances in several high-profile films, including "Blades of Glory" (2007), "The Brothers Solomon" (2007), and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story" (2007). In the latter, a fictional documentary about faded singing star Dewey Cox (John C. Reilly), Fischer costarred as Cox's glamorous second wife, Darlene, and even performed a song with Reilly despite her admittedly limited vocal range.
While 2007 proved to be a watershed year for Fischer's career, the year was also marked with its share of misfortune. On May 15th, 2007, Fischer fell down a flight of stairs while attending the upfronts for "The Office" at a bar in New York City and fractured her back in four places. Fischer was laid up for twelve weeks, but still managed to make it to the "Office" in time to start work on the show's fourth season. In September of that year, Fischer and James Gunn both announced via their respective MySpace blogs that they were going to separate. The divorce was finalized six months later. Meanwhile, she again costarred alongside John C. Reilly, this time in "The Promotion" (2008), which preceded yet another successful year of "The Office." In September of 2008, People magazine reported that Fischer was dating actor and screenwriter Lee Kirk. Kirk was a longtime friend and associate of Gunn who appeared with Fisher in "The Specials." In 2009, the two were engaged, while Fischer returned to "The Office" in 2009 for its sixth season.

"When I look at some of my friends who came out here and then moved back, there's only one thing I can see that I had that maybe some of them didn't: a high tolerance for being really poor." - Fischer to Interview magazine, April 2007 |

- Glass Cube: 6" square, 6" high
- Orchid: grows to 22–28" high
- A fresh, live flowering orchid is delivered to you within the first week of every three months.

- Orchid comes in a glass cylinder or a glass cube.
- White series includes: Purple Lip, Yellow Lip, Pink Splash and Yellow Lip.
- Colored series includes: Mango with Red Lip, Tinny Pink Honey, Kaleidoscope, Sogo Smith.
- Blooming period varies on household and watering; ranges from one to three months.
- Each orchid comes with detailed care instructions.
- Catalog / Internet only.
- Dimensions & Care
- White Orchids:
- April: Purple Lip
- July: Yellow Lip
- October: Pink Slash
- January: Yellow Lip
- Colored Orchids:
- April: Mango with Red Lip
- July: Tinny Pink Honey
- October: Kaleidoscope
- January: Sogo Smith
- For indoor growing and display only.
- Light: Medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as leaves burn easily. Yellow or splotchy leaves indicate plant is getting too much light.
- Water: Water lightly every 20–30 days, if needed. Best if allowed to almost dry out between waterings. Check the medium with your finger; if you feel moisture, do not water. Your orchid is potted in moss, which holds moisture extremely well. Do not allow the pot to stand in water.
- Temperature: Day: 68–78°F; night: 65–75°F. Orchid does best in an environment with an even temperature, especially when in bud. Chilly temperatures or draft areas can cause flowers and buds to drop.
- Reblooming: When last flower drops, cut the stem halfway between base and top at an angle between the nodes for a possible re-bloom. If a rebloom does not occur within 45 days, cut the stem down to about an inch high for a new spike the following winter/spring. During the winter months, place your phalaenopsis on a north-facing window ledge with no direct sun for 45 days or until a new stem begins. Orchid temperature must drop to 58–60°F to force a new flower stem. Once a new stem begins, place orchid in the recommended even temperature range for growing.
- Fertilizer: When your orchid is blooming, fertilizer is not needed. If you wish to fertilize, we recommend a balanced fertilizer such as 12-12-12 or similar ratio. Apply fertilizer at one-quarter strength with every other watering. To encourage bloom production, a high-phosphorus fertilizer (such as 10-30-20) may be applied.

Washington, DC Friday, December 21, 2012
President Obama delivered a statement on the "fiscal cliff" negotiations at the White House before the start of the holiday weekend.
The House of Representatives finished their legislative business for the week Thursday night without passing House Speaker John Boehner's "Plan B."
The Senate is wrapping up its business and will adjourn without passing any "fiscal cliff" legislation. Both houses are expected back in on December 27 to continue work on legislation to prevent the combination of tax hikes and spending cuts that economists say would send the country back into a recession.

"He made a point of getting to know students, asking them about details of their lives, enthusiastically sharing his own experiences. He brightened the lives of all of us, and words cannot describe the loss we feel."
Fellow club member Andrew Ding told of the car crash during a drive to New Hampshire, describing how Collier showed no hint of anger or exasperation over the damage to his vehicle.
"Sean was the first out of our car to go check and see if the (other driver) was OK," Ding wrote in an email to CNN, adding that "it would be exceedingly difficult to imagine him not stepping up and doing the right thing when he had the chance, which unfortunately he did last night."
Such awareness and devotion were evident in college, said Kristen Kuehnle, who chairs the department of criminal justice at Salem State University, where Collier graduated with honors in 2009 as a criminal justice major.
Kuehnle remembered that Collier got an 'A' in the "Women in Criminal Justice" class she taught, recalling him as "bright" and well-rounded with a "great sense of humor that you really need."
"When you're graduating with honors, you've demonstrated ability to be thoughtful and look at all perspectives," she said.
Describing Collier as a model candidate for police work, she said he had "the vision that we are looking for in our students."
"He always wanted to be a police officer," Kuehnle said. "That was pretty clear, but it wasn't like the whistles and bells and toys. It was about really wanting to make a difference and being good at what you do."
That's the impression he left on those who knew him at MIT.
"Sean is not the stereotypical cop who is kind of intimidating, but rather a friendly and down-to-earth kind of guy that you would want to be friends with," David Hou, an MIT sophomore, told CNN.
To Ding, Collier was "the kind of guy you'd ask to watch your wallet."
Ben Artin, another EMS volunteer, told how Collier proposed arranging a social event to help broaden the relationship between the campus police and the emergency service workers.
"Sean was rare in the degree to which, while working for MIT PD, he wanted to socially engage with the students," Artin wrote to CNN, adding that "I hope that we follow through on this proposal as we heal."

1 hour to get from Air Canada terminal, customs,and United flight.Dec 4, 201340Flying Air Canada from Regina Sask, is one hour enough time to get our bags, go through customs, and reach our connecting United flight to Cancun Mex.? And / or what if we don't check any baggage?CMCposted on Wed, Dec 4Air Canada does not fly from Regina to Denver, your flight is on United Express (if it is a nonstop). 1 hour will be very difficult. You arrive in concourse A, have to go over a pedestrian bridge to the main terminal, go through US Immigration, claim baggage, go through customs, re-check baggage, and go back through security, then take the underground train to concourse B and to your gate. It will be very hard to do that in an hour unless your flight from Regina is early. If you miss your connection you will be rebooked to Cancun via another route, probably through Houston.ZAPposted on Wed, Dec 4Thank you, do you think we would have a better chance if we did not check any baggage? If we miss our connecting flight is there any expense related to that?CMCposted on Wed, Dec 4If you don't check baggage it may save you 5-10 minutes, which could be the difference. No, if you are unable to make your connection the airline is required to rebook you free of charge.ZAPposted on Wed, Dec 4
1 hr 5 min - connecting to Mex flight - enough time?Dec 4, 201310We have a flight from Iowa on Frontier to Den with only 1 hr 5 min to get through customs and back onto a Frontier flight to Puerto Vallarta. Does anybody have experience with this and will we be able to do it?benposted on Wed, Dec 4You will not have to go through customs in Denver on the way to Mexico. All you will have to do is go from your arrival gate to your departure gate, which will be on the same concourse and fairly close together. You will go through Mexican Immigration when you get to Mexico.ZAPposted on Wed, Dec 4
International flight layoverNov 26, 201310I am flying from Regina sk Canada to San Jose Costa Rica with a 1hr11min lay over in Denver. Will this be enough time to clear customs and make my flight?Drenposted on Tue, Nov 26Yes, but you will have to hurry. You will arrive in the A concourse and then follow escalators to the upper level of the pedestrian bridge to the main terminal. There you will go through US immigration, claim your baggage and clear customs. You can then re-check your bags and take the underground train to concourse A if you are on the nonstop flight to SJO on Frontier or Concourse B if you're connecting in Houston to take United. It's a pretty tight connection but you should be OK if your first flight is on-time. However, if you miss your connection I don't know how you'll get to San Jose because Frontier only flies from Denver to San Jose a few times a week.ZAPposted on Tue, Nov 26

You will absolutely have to check-in online for your Southwest flight and print out your boarding pass before you leave Honolulu if you want to have any chance of making that connection. If there are any delays on your Honolulu flight, you will miss the connection.ZAPposted on Thu, Nov 7

help with son making a tight connectionSep 22, 201311Our son is heading out to outward bound, he hasn't flown a lot before and on the way home he has 35 to make a connection between a Republic flight and United. They are both run by United so will he be able to check his bags thru? Also, terminal for these flights are not yet available. Is this connection possible???? Appreciate any and all help. He's 20 but ADHD with anxiety.rmfposted on Sun, Sep 22Yes, his bags will be checked through. All United and United Express flights are on the same concourse. If his first flight is on-time he will have enough time but he'll have to hurry. Unfortunately the Republic-operated United Express flights in and out of DEN are frequently delayed, so he should know when the next flight to his final destination is and be prepared to try to get on it if he is late getting into Denver.ZAPposted on Sun, Sep 221 person likes this post [ Like ]

Concourses C & A are served by the AGTS train underground (which may require to taking the escalator down to the train station), making its continuous round between Main Terminal and Concourses and stopping in the center of each Concourse.

You need to get dropped off at United if you need your boarding pass or need to check a bag. You get to concourse B via an underground train.ZAPposted on Sat, Sep 7

BREAKING NEWS: House Approves Budget Agreement, 332-94
Washington, DC Friday, February 22, 2013
Clark University Professor Cynthia Enloe discusses the role women play in military conflicts and how more needs to be done to get them involved in preventing and resolving those conflicts.
She spoke as part of a lecture series hosted by the Liechtenstein Institute at Princeton University. Topics include: outreach efforts to women in Afghanistan, the lack of women in the newly formed Syrian provisional government and efforts to address sexual assault in the U.S. military.
Professor Enloe spoke in November, two months before outgoing defense secretary Leon Panetta announced that women would no longer be prevented from participating in combat roles.

Marking the latest milestone in the University's Vincentian mission of excellence and service, the 2011 graduating class included the first students to receive degrees in two new programs created through VISA, the University's ambitious Vincentian Institute for Social Action.
On May 13, St. John's celebrated the graduation of the first classes in the Advantage Academy and Ozanam Scholars Program during a special ceremony at the D'Angelo Center. Both programs are successful outgrowths of VISA an initiative designed to more visibly embed St. John's Catholic and Vincentian mission into the educational experience of its students.
Thirty-one students graduated from the Ozanam Scholars Program, which provides an academic platform for students to address issues of global poverty and social injustice. Rooted in the themes of academic scholarship, Vincentian leadership and global citizenship, the program gives students the opportunity to elevate their contribution to society through solutions-based research. Photo Gallery
The Advantage Academy is the fruit of an innovative partnership between St. John's and the New York City Department of Homeless Services. Housed in the College of Professional Studies, the Academy allows qualified homeless and formerly homeless, individuals earn associate's degrees. This year 11 students graduated with degrees in Business and Information Technology. Through mentoring and other support services the students also gain the skills and confidence necessary to break the cycle of poverty.
Reverend James J. Maher, Executive Vice President for Mission, said the event represented "a wonderful blend of the gifts of intellect, passion and faith" of these students. He added that both programs were indebted to James Pellow, Ed.D., outgoing Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of St. John's, and Julia Upton, Provost, whose tireless efforts, faith and vision led to their creation.
"Our first graduates of the Ozanam Scholars Program will take their abundant talents to serve those who live on the margins of life," said Fr. Maher. As the first graduates of the Advantage Academy go forth, they are equipped not only with an important academic degree, but with a spirit of confidence in their own abilities as graduates and members of the St. John's family."
In addition to the ceremony, the evening recognized VISA's community partnerships and presented awards to students and faculty. The Excellence in Service-Learning Award was presented to Nina Dorata, Ph.D., for her leadership with the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program (VITA), which allows students to offer free tax assistance to low income individuals and the Excellence in Teaching Awards were presented to Thomas Kitts, Ph.D., Professor and Chair, English and Speech, and Lawrence Pitilli, Associate Professor of Speech, for their work with the Advantage Academy.
St. John's Bread and Life received the Community Partnership Award, given to an agency that provides VISA with opportunities to address issues of poverty and social injustice. In addition to VITA, VISA launched Project Identity at Bread and Life, a program that enabled Ozanam Scholars to assist clients in obtaining various forms of legal identification.
Dr. Pellow received a special Leadership Impact Award for his "visionary leadership and understanding of the University's Vincentian mission." in the development and creation of VISA.
Fr. Maher noted, "His efforts will have an essential role in the educational experience of future generations of St. John's students."

Mass Effect: Basic
In the year 2148, explorers on Mars discovered the remains of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the decades that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed startling new technologies, enabling travel to the furthest stars. The basis for this incredible technology was a force that controlled the very fabric of space and time.
They called it the greatest discovery in human history.
The civilizations of the galaxy call it... MASS EFFECT.
This RP takes place in the sprawling Mass Effect universe based upon the popular video game series. The storyline of this RP begins just before the events of the first game, meaning that all of the characters and events from the original games will be present in this RP in some form or another. It should also be said that although this is the same universe the story of this RP will have its own plot that will only occasionally bump heads with that of the actual games.
At the beginning of this game everyone will be on equal footing, no one will be starting off this game as badass merc number 37… I have every intention of having people slowly develop their characters from the ground up, establishing their personalities and abilities through the game's storyline.
The game will start off at a remote training facility run by a sprouting security organization called C-3. Whether you are a poor orphan with nowhere to go, a budding biotic who struggles with their powers, or a crafty criminal looking for sanctuary… C-3 promised that they would turn no one down and accept everyone into this elite academy. Some would say that this offer is too good to be true however C-3 does state their catch very clearly within their terms. Whoever joins the academy and receives special training must stay within the organization for a minimum of 4 years, to some this is but a small price to pay for steady food, board, and training. No matter what your reason, you boarded the shuttle and were taken away to this elite academy. Not many know much about the C-3 organization, only that they have come into power over the last few years and specialize in providing paid security for whoever can afford it. Most people just call them glorified mercenaries and in a sense that is simply what they are.
Playable Races:
There are many races in the Mass Effect galaxy, however I'm going to try to keep the playable character types to the more humanoid types. These are the playable races for this RP.
Get more information on the races here http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Races
Playable Classes:
In the mass effect world there are three types of specialties. Combat, Tech, and Biotics. At the beginning of the RP everyone will choose just one of these as a starting point. Later on you will be given the choice to branch off from your original specialty for new abilities or to stay within your original choice and reap additional skills.
Starting Classes-
Soldier- Combat
Engineer- Tech
Adept- Biotic
Branch Classes-
Vanguard- Combat/Biotic
Sentinel- Biotic/Tech
Infiltrator- Tech/Combat
It should be noted that your class will affect the weapons and armor that you are capable of carrying. Soldiers can wear heavy armor and can use any weapon type, however Engineers and Adepts can only wear light armor and wield pistols, shotguns, or sub machineguns.
Character Sheets:
I like to see detail here, but at the same time you don't need to write me a novel.
Starting Class:
Starting Equipment: (This section will be added shortly after the start of the RP, so leave this blank for now. It will include weapons and armor)
Powers/Skills: (Please choose two starting skills/powers based upon your starting class. More will be added later.) http://masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Powers ... ffect_3%29

What components would you use to build your Corsair Dream PC? Corsair's Ronaldo Buassali recently visited Infsite A.G. in Brazil to build a Corsair Dream PC. Check out some photos of this awesome PC.
Building a quality gaming rig doesn't take thousands of dollars if you choose your components carefully. With this in mind I set out to build a gaming rig that could handle any of today's games including Crysis 3 for under $1000. I priced the entire build out on Newegg and came in at $937.92 before tax and shipping. Let's start the build and take a look at the components I chose.
We've created screen cast covering the basics of overclocking. This is part two which goes more in-depth on overclocking including XMP, bios settings, overclocking software, benchmarks and overclocking forums.
It goes without saying that some system builds are more fun than others. This is especially true when I know that I am going to get to do some extensive "testing" with it when I'm done as opposed to shipping it off to a tradeshow or LAN party. This build log is certainly no exception and may well be the most fun rig I have built since I've been employed here at Corsair. I built it to be a strong workstation, but I expect my testing to show that it will be excellent for gaming and multimedia also.

The National Urban League announces launch of a new small business lending arm
ABOVE PHOTO: Donald Bowen (insert.)
National Urban League
The National Urban League, the nation's largest historic civil rights and urban advocacy organization, today announced the launch of its first subsidiary in its 103-year history, the Urban Empowerment Fund (UEF) – a new Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and small business loan fund. UEF was created to fill a credit gap which has widened in recent years as a result of the continual fallout from the Great Recession, disproportionately impacting many minority-owned small businesses and those operating in underserved communities.
UEF will provide financing and technical assistance to help small business owners create sustainable companies and vibrant communities nationwide across the markets it serves. Donald Bowen, the National Urban League's Chief Program Officer since 2006, has been appointed as President and CEO of the UEF, effective May 2.
"The creation of the Urban Empowerment Fund is historic for the National Urban League as it allows us to deepen our community impact by directly supporting small businesses – the drivers of our economy – through financing and other resources they need to thrive long-term," said Marc H. Morial, President and CEO of the National Urban League. "Don Bowen has been a transformational leader within the National Urban League, and I am confident that he has the vision, commitment and drive necessary to ensure the success and growth of the UEF."
Bowen served as the President and CEO of the Urban League of Broward County from 1991 to 2006 and helped build the affiliate into one of the strongest and most impactful Urban League organizations in the country.
"The advent of the Urban Empowerment Fund allows the National Urban League to build upon its legacy role as a social service intermediary to become a financial intermediary," said Bowen. "Thus, we have a new and powerful set of tools to impact local communities and advance the mission of promoting economic parity."
UEF will complement and build upon the National Urban League's successful signature
Entrepreneurship Center Program, which offers business management consulting and training services to the 10,000 small businesses served by the Centers on an annual basis. The Centers currently operate in 10 affiliate markets, including Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Houston, Kansas City, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, New Orleans and Philadelphia. UEF will employ a phased market entry strategy initially focusing on these markets and eventually extending to all markets served by the National Urban League's 95 local affiliates.
"Our goal is to establish a $50 million loan fund in five years," said Bowen. "We are appreciative of the support from and partnership with our founding sponsors – Bank of America, Citi, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo – and look forward to the positive impact that we will have together on minority-owned small businesses in communities across the country."
UEF Statements from Founding Sponsors:
Bank of America – "We are pleased to be a founding sponsor of the Urban Empowerment Fund – helping to connect entrepreneurs to the technical assistance and capital needed to start and grow their businesses," said Dan Letendre, CDFI Executive for Bank of America. "We value our long-term partnership with the National Urban League and look forward to sustaining our partnership to promote economic vitality in communities across the nation."
Citi – "Citi Community Development applauds the launch of the Urban Empowerment Fund and Don Bowen's selection to be its president," said Natalie Abatemarco, managing director of Citi Community Development. "The Urban Empowerment Fund will devote 100 percent of its capital to loans for small businesses in low-income communities across the country, prioritizing its activities in the areas of greatest economic distress. In his new role as UEF CEO, Don Bowen can be depended upon to use his talents as an organization builder to ensure a fast start as the UEF aims to fill a credit gap in African American and other communities of color that has widened in recent years."
JPMorgan Chase – "Partnering with the National Urban League to support the new Urban Empowerment Fund is another way JPMorgan Chase is helping American small businesses succeed," said Scott Geller, CEO of Chase Business Banking. "We are proud to work with millions of small companies who are fueling the economic recovery in communities across the country, and we know this fund will make a positive impact on many more."
Wells Fargo – "As one of the founding sponsors and an early advisor, we congratulate UEF as it embarks on this important endeavor to positively impact our country's economic recovery by helping small businesses succeed," said Jon Campbell, executive vice president, Government and Community Relations, Wells Fargo. "We have a long history of supporting small business CDFIs like UEF because they provide the necessary technical assistance and flexible financing these small businesses need to get started and grow."
