Not for the "busty"
Posted by AnnaB - 17th July 2013
This dress looks lovely in the pictures. Its nice quality and fits well everywhere ...except the v neckline gaps alarming with E cup boobs. I'm a size 10 and 34E, a larger size would have been too big elsewhere and the 10 needed a camisole to avoid displaying my underwear. Sadly returned. |

I love it!
Posted by Wendywoo - 21st June 2013
I love this dress! Bring it out in different colours or in prints please! I had so many compliments about how elegant I looked when wearing it to work today! I am 168cm tall and the dress skims the top of my boots. The dress is fitted but skims my bumps nicely. Also true to size. |

The simplification of the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC), announced by the government last week, will help business energy customers reduce their emissions.
Business energy clients could secure cheap energy bills by sending their staff on renewables training courses, MET UK argued.
Business energy clients might be interested to hear that the Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) Energy Efficiency Scheme will be simplified under government plans.

Ice Sound Manager was designed to ease the management of sound events, sound themes, and the IceSound server in the IceWM window manager. It is also intended to be an improvement upon the noble but primitive icesndcfg. The main improvements over icesndcfg include a support for sound event "themes", more comprehensive help, easy management and configuration of the IceSound server, a cleaner GUI interface, automatic starting of the IceSound server, and a more conservative approach to disk space usage.
IcePref2 is an updated, overhauled, improved, and perfected version of the original IcePref (which was abandoned by the original author). This new version includes many new features and bugfixes, and is a sub-project of the IceWM Control Panel project. It is optimized for IceWM 1.2.2 and better.
IceWM Control Panel is a full-featured, GTK-based control panel for IceWM. It features an IceWM theme designer, Ice Sound Manager (for sound events), IcePref2, and tools to manage desktop wallpaper, cursors, keys, window options, and more. IceWM Control Panel has a familiar, Windows-like Control Panel user interface.
FVWM-Crystal aims to create an easy to use, pretty, but also powerful desktop environment for Linux or other Unix-like operating systems. It uses the following programs: FVWM as a window manager and "main core"; different ways to provide icons on the desktop including support for many file managers and custom commands; xterm, aterm, mrxvt, or urxvt as terminal emulators; MPD or XMMS2 as music players (there's built-in support for controlling these programs), and several other tools for different functions, like setting a wallpaper or taking screenshots.
CrystalAudio is a FVWM-Crystal configuration tuned for use on an audio workstation. It has many new applications for the menu, including many sound-related applications and improved sound controls. It launches qjackctl at startup. The final goal of the project is to make the FVWM-Crystal menu compatible with the freedesktop specification and to provide some tools to generate the menu entries and icons from desktop and icon files provided by the applications in the system.
PLATYPUX is a Linux distribution which uses methods from LFS and BLFS (Linux From Scratch). You can set up the system on a PC, a laptop, or a USB key. Its graphical interface is implemented with XFCE. It's easily transportable. Tools like LibreOffice, Gimp, Xsane, SRWare Iron, Inkscape, OpenShot, Xfburn, Peazip, and JavaMPlayer are already installed.

Vice President, Leadership in Social Justice
Executive Director, Institute on Social Exclusion
With my background in urban planning, I specialize in the areas of social exclusion, community development, urban poverty, and urban health.
My philosophy is to give students the theoretical and empirical information they need to develop their own ideas about how the social world works. This helps them determine where the most effective points of intervention are and how to best engage in the process of social change. Adler is the right place to do such work. With our mission of social justice and a multidisciplinary teaching staff, students are able to see the world through different lenses and can form an interesting body of knowledge from which to tap as practicing professionals.

text: Info from Michael Ferner oldracingcars.info-Whatever the Schofield managers had in mind to steer Miller (the company) over the rocky roads ahead without Miller (the man) was never revealed, as the company went bust in December 1930, shortly after one of its major shareholders was convicted of a juicy embezzlement of bank funds. Most of the staff switched over to Harry Miller's new shop, a couple of miles to the west (if they hadn't already done so), and by March everything was back to "normalâ€, as Louie Meyer debuted the first product of Miller's new plant, a 3.8-litre eight-cylinder engine, albeit in his Miller 91 single-seater chassis for the time being. Actually, it wasn't really the first new product, as Miller had already tried to peddle an unsuccessful Ford conversion job and a 16-cylinder front-drive passenger car, but in the context of this thread both projects may be happily glossed over. The new engine proved very satisfactory in Pacific Coast Championship events, and for Indy Miller built three cars to a new standard pattern, two of which were meant to take the new "big eightâ€, and one a modified version of the V16 from the passenger car project. The new chassis were quite advanced, with a de Dion rear axle and two quarter elliptic springs on each corner, not unlike the front suspension of of the earlier front-drive racing cars, and the two eights were very competitive and successful over the next five or six years, but the V16 proved a disappointment, probably because it was not a pur sang racing engine in the first place. The cars, though basically identical, were known as the Miller 230 and Miller 303, respectively, relating to the type numbers of the respective engines.

On a Saturday in December I shall make the closing announcement one last time, lock the front door, perhaps smile briefly at the stacks, the new book display, and the computing commons, turn out the lights, and walk away from my library forever.
You may think the retirement decision was easy, and that retirement has been highly anticipated. Your mileage may vary, but it has been neither easy nor highly anticipated for me. I loved libraries and I loved the work, and taking leave of it has been hard -- a lot harder than I thought it would be. I'll simply say that it has been both an emotional and difficult time.
If a job, not so hard to leave. But if a calling, much harder.
I had planned on working longer, but when my city offered incentives to longtime employees to retire -- which coincided with my qualifying for full retirement under our state and municipal employees' pension system -- it made sense to take advantage of the opportunity.
In my library system, three of us are taking the incentive and departing. Since the point of the incentives is to trim city payroll, we will not be replaced with newhires nor with other staff moving up the ladder. Our positions are being eliminated permanently.
Even if times were good, however, I'm not sure my managers would necessarily replace me and my colleagues with degreed librarians. In my system, I think the future belongs to library assistants, who will do much of the work at lower pay.
I'm not being critical of my managers. Given how the nature of library work is changing, shifting work from master's degree holders to, say, holders of two-year community college degrees, makes sense. Reference is not yet dead, but its circumstances are much reduced: We need fewer reference librarians, but many more people who can demonstrate how the print-release station works, who can sign people up for study rooms, who can troubleshoot computer problems or answer questions about using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and IE, or who can proctor exams, and so on. These tasks do not require a master's degree nor even a bachelor's degree. There should probably still be one classic reference librarian in the building -- a know-it-all in the best possible sense of the expression -- but the need for a phalanx of reference librarians in the Age of Google is just not there.
If I were in my director's shoes, I'd carry out a reassessment of my patron's needs in light of the staff knowledge, skills, and abilities actually needed to meet them, and then hire and pay accordingly. There is no room for sentiment here, nor should there be.
I used to work long shifts at a busy reference desk where the intellectual challenge was daunting, because I had to shift constantly from one subject to another: It could be physics one moment, case law the next, pet care the one after that, and then finding a medical specialist, helping with a math problem, or looking up the bond rating for a corporation. I loved it. I had had a broad undergraduate education and was comfortable with math, science, technology, history, and the humanities, was fluent in two languages and had a grip on the basics of a couple more, knew all
the nooks and crannies into which our culture tucked information, and had a good memory.
Before the library, I had prepared for an entirely different career but two years into it decided it wasn't for me and had begun casting about for something better to do. The young lady I was dating at the time -- now my spouse and still the best librarian I've ever seen -- understood my strengths and personality and suggested librarianship. She was right on target. I was never as happy as when I was on an extraordinarily busy reference desk, pre-Google, pulling the information rabbit out of the resources hat time and time and time again. I couldn't believe I was being paid -- and paid decently -- to have fun.
It seemed the very work I was designed and destined to do.
If I may be permitted a very late career brag: I was awfully good at it. I and a certain desk partner who was a lot like me and whose strengths balanced my weaknesses and vice versa, felt there was nothing . . . nothing . . . we couldn't answer or resolve. Our head of reference once glanced at us at the beginning of an evening shift and said "reference is in good hands tonight."
What a great compliment that was, and it was true.
You can imagine I'm slightly miffed at Google. But I'm no Luddite. I taught myself BASIC and Fortran programming while in library school, had a personal computer very early on, loved the web when I got wind of it (seeing it as the very embodiment of Theodore Nelson's hypertext scheme, though Ted would no doubt not agree that the web is indeed that embodiment), and created my library's first website in 1993. (I think we were among the first 50 public libraries to have one.)
I still think a reference librarian with an education both deep and broad and with a terrific memory can blow Google away. More to the point, such a librarian who knows how to wring out of Google everything it can provide can blow UG (unassisted Google) away.
So I hate to see some libraries completely concede reference to the bots, as at least one here in metro Phoenix has (but not mine).
But Americans hate middlemen and intermediaries, and librarians sure look like middlemen and intermediaries to me.
So I get it.
It isn't that UG -- unassisted Google -- is "good enough" for most searches; it's that many former patrons are going to prefer UG over us whether we like it or not, and whether they know it isn't as good for them or not, simply because they no longer need to appear before us as supplicants.
And so, any smart director knows he or she isn't going to need as many reference librarians, or degreed people, in the building as before, especially if in addition to reductions in reference work, outsourcing of collection development and cataloguing is implemented.
In short, the future needs much less reference help and a whole lot more computer help. It needs sharp library assistants, not librarians.
My wife probably wouldn't advise me to seek librarianship today and she says as much. I can't in good conscience advise people to seek jobs in the field, unless they realize exactly what they are getting into:
- Much less reference work; much more computer support and handholding. Less demand for professionals; more demand for paraprofessionals.
- Less human contact; more reliance on bots, be they self-checks, unmanned book kiosks or something we haven't even thought of yet (see the August 2009 Library Journal cover story, "Self Service Library").
- Less focus on information, more on entertainment.
- Redefinition of the library as "community center," with all that implies.
In short, it will be much less about information, and information quality, and self-education, and much more about providing and supporting a computing commons, media for entertainment, and premises for community activities.
No doubt socially useful work lurks in this future. Some may find excitement in redefining the library's mission and executing the new plan.
But the new library landscape seems to disrespect knowledgeability and authority. (And though as Americans we all love to heap abuse on authority, think how useful the old library notion of authority could be in a world of crowdsourcing, of "information" produced by amateurs or by those with hidden agendas.)
My decision to retire makes personal and financial sense for me and dovetails with my city's needs right now. But beyond such considerations, the new public library has much less need for librarians like me, and therefore it is indeed a good time for me to move on.
There isn't a market for what I do best.
Traditional librarian jobs are going to be much scarcer. Budget cuts lurk in our future as far as any horizon I can see. We will never see the funding levels again that we once had. Librarians will indeed retire, but their positions will be eliminated or converted into paraprofessional ones. I would have liked to see our profession and our institutions take on the bots. But that isn't going to happen, because the people who pay our salaries don't want us to take on the bots.
I would respectfully beg anyone thinking of seeking a professional degree in LIS to reconsider. There aren't going to be jobs for most of you, and even the few of you who do get jobs may find they are nothing like what you expected.
At the least, go in with your eyes open. It's going to be a rough ride for libraries and librarians. Immense piles of taxpayer money are going to be needed for health care and to service our debt to the central banks of China; much less will be available for things like libraries.
. . .
I am planning on a second act, but it won't involve libraries (or, since nothing is certain, I'll say I would be highly surprised if it did).
Once, a day at "work" was something I looked forward to and couldn't wait to get to. (Even today, post Google, it can still be.) It was an institution in which I was proud to work and a title I was proud to bear. It wasn't a job but a calling. I am lucky to have done it for so long with such good colleagues and such good patrons.
All that is good ends, and, as Robert Frost said, "Nothing gold can stay."
I shall miss it.

Yeah, I've seen this coming for years but it was wonderful while we had it. Thank you for expressing perfectly what I've been thinking about these last few years. Maybe I can retrain as a buggy whip tech.

Huzzah! Very eloquently put. I have worked as a reference librarian for 20 years in public libraries and have seen my job degenerate to that of a computer lab attendant. It is rare to get a genuine reference question these days. At this point, I am counting the years to an early retirement and a second career.
All the best in your future endeavors! Hi Friends ,
Nowadays searching jobs is very easy one. just post your resume and get your dream jobs soon by using search engine.I'm sorry to see you leave the field, but it's understandable. I'll be retiring in six or seven years myself and am actually looking forward to it, but then I had segued into management from reference and am having a lot less fun than I had dancing at the reference desk.
Really, though, I think the profession left us.
Reference was never "about books" in the same sense as cataloging. It was about personal knowledge and the ability to use books (and now so much else) to winkle out the information that others could transform into their own knowledge.
It was (and to be fair, is) "librarianship" simply because we most often did this in a library, this being where the information was (rather as how Willie Sutton explained that he robbed banks because that was where the money was). But no one called Willie a banker.
The profession never understood reference.
It's a great irony, in my view, that the Internet is the ultimately tool for the reference librarian, for not only can we frame non-naive queries but (through social networking tools) find other reference librarians whose knowledges and experiences complement our own.
It may not be too late for reference, but ALA can no longer be the gatekeeper.- AnonymousJanuary 11, 2010 11:55 AM
I understand -- I took early retirement because of my husband's health issues. I miss the library like crazy but love him more. Life is not always what we want it to be but it's all we have.

As a 2006 MLS grad still working in the same paraprofessional position I had before starting school, it's a strange relief I feel reading your words. I have felt bad encouraging eager would-be students to pay thousands for a degree that likely will do no more than make them highly attractive candidates for parapro positions, but have done it anyway because I always wondered if it was just me...was I just not good enough to enter the profession? So it's reassuring that your longtime perspective confirms my own. I entered library school because I wanted to do the "interesting" work; five years later I graduated having realized midway that the "interesting" work was disappearing. I wish I had gotten a masters in pub. admin. instead.

Joe, all of your musings are so spot on, we enjoy reading them at my library. Your last post certainly is bittersweet and I truly wonder if I have missed the Great Days of the Reference Librarian! Certainly reference has gone into serious decline at my library, and I feel a little blue when I walk through the reference section and realize I haven't used many of those resources in quite awhile. With this in mind,I do consider where I will be in 10 years (and I've got at least 20 years to go before retirement).
I hope you'll keep this blog going, you must have lots of material to use, and you have a rare talent for humor!
All the best. - AnonymousMarch 23, 2010 11:22 AM
Thank you for so gracefully expressing what many of us "old timers" have been feeling for a while now. I envy those who are at an age to retire with full benefits like my spouse, who will most likely be offered a buy-out in the near future. He feels the calling you speak of, while I'm just tired.

Love It
I bought the romper to wear for my boyfriend's birthday celebration. I love the fit and style, too bad winter doesn't want to leave the DC area.
April 24, 2013
I am 5'7", 135 lbs and ordered this romper in a medium. I tend to be in between a small and medium and wanted to make sure the bottoms weren't too tight in the thighs. The romper fits great, its a little loose but in a good way and the draw string around the waist and the elastic in the tube top part help a lot. I could have gotten either a medium or small and been happy either way. The romper is very well made, thicker material but not heavy at all. Great!

Too big
I was so happy to see this item online, as I have been looking for a cute romper for the summer. I usually wear an extra small at The Limited so that is what I ordered. The top part fit very well, no shelf bra but the elastic was tight enough to not have to wear a bra. The bottom (shorts part) was way too baggy. The string was not able to be pulled tight enough and the legs on the shorts were way too big. I had to return it as its not really something that can be altered :(

Super Cute
A little roomy, but nonetheless super cute. Can't wait to wear it

Runs Big...
The material is lovely, one detail you can't see is that it has little brass buttons on the base of the each leg. They make for a nice surprise on this very simple piece. I always have issues with Limited sizing. This piece was no different. I usually wear an XS but not at Limited I have to wear a S. However, this time when I ordered a small it was too long and too big in the waist and legs. The rope belt couldn't even cinch small enough. So size down and enjoy. I am anxiously awaiting my exchange to come in the mail!
March 28, 2013
I have been looking for a romper for a while and was excited to order this one. I had to return it because it is too big. I normally wear a 14 or an XL in the limited clothes, so I ordered this romper in an XL. It was huge! I am thinking about ordering it in a L , i really like it but I am scared that will be big as well.

If all you want is one game for the PS Vita then sell it because it's not worth it.
Besides when it actually does come out, the PS Vita will of had a price cut by then considering it's most likely out in 2013 in Japan and late 2013/2014 in the EU if it even comes to the EU/NA.

Ecofeminism and Nineteenth-Century Literature
Ecofeminism and Nineteenth-Century Literature
Ecologically centered discipline that critiques the dominant male practices and discourses relating to nature.
Ecological feminism, or ecofeminism, is an interdisciplinary movement that calls for a new way of thinking about nature, politics, and spirituality. Ecofeminist theory questions or rejects previously held patriarchal paradigms and holds that the domination of women by men is intimately linked to the destruction of the environment. Ecofeminists argue that traditional male-centered approaches involving exploitation of and supremacy over women are echoed in patriarchal practices and discourse with respect to the environment. Ecofeminism came into being in the early 1970s in the United States, when a number of women became disillusioned with the mainstream environmental movement and sought to create more awareness among feminists about environmental concerns. Feminists before this had seen it as important to deemphasize the differences between men and women, but ecofeminists embarked on a study of particularly female ways of being and thinking about nature throughout history. Thinkers in various fields, from science to anthropology, sociology, history, and politics began to critique traditional attitudes toward the environment from a feminist perspective. In the 1990s, a field of study called ecocriticism—an earth-centered approach to literary studies—began to emerge in literature departments in the United States. Ecocriticism studies the relationship between literature and the physical environment, asking how nature is represented in literary works. While ecofeminist literary criticism is similarly concerned with the depiction of nature, it emphasizes how traditional representations often see the land as innocent, female, and ripe for exploitation.
While ecofeminist literary critics examine literature from all cultures and throughout history to explore female perspectives on nature, nineteenth-century English and American literature is seen as a particularly rich area of study. As ecofeminist literary critics have shown, nature writing by women in both England and the United States flourished in the nineteenth century. The study of flora and fauna, which could be done relatively close to home, was seen as a respectable occupation for middle- and upper-class women; thus, a number of them took an interest in writing about their natural environment. Few of these female nature writers are well-known outside scholarly circles, but they are seen as important because they offer radically different perspectives on the study of plants and animals than do their male contemporaries. Also significant is that many of these women regarded nature as a liberating force, especially in contrast to their confining domestic existences.
For many nineteenth-century women, the sense of place was an important aspect of their writing and many wrote about the local landscape that was often an integral part of their daily life. One of the best-known writers who made place a central element in her fiction was the American novelist Sarah Orne Jewett. The Country of the Pointed Firs (1896), for example, is set in the fictional town of Dunnett Landing on the coast of Maine, and the action of the novel revolves around the town and surrounding islands. The story is of a young woman writer who spends a summer in the small town, where she falls in with a group of women who weave a web of stories about the place and its people. Jewett also portrays this circle of women as a manifestation of nature that seems to arise from the rugged landscape. Another important, but neglected, work about place is Rural Hours (1850) by Susan Fenimore Cooper, the daughter of the novelist James Fenimore Cooper. Rural Hours is one of the earliest examples of American nature writing and the first by a woman. In this work, Cooper describes an ideal rural society based on her experiences during her excursions in the local countryside. She also shows how that society is changing as the wilderness recedes and industrialization looms. Cooper suggests that knowledge of place encourages people to respect the land, and she discusses the moral obligation of human beings to create a society that is aware of the natural history of the environment and lives in harmony with the natural world.
Other female writers wrote about place not because it was familiar but because it was new and different from what they left behind as they sought a better life in new and distant regions. Many American frontierswomen left accounts of their travel experiences in diaries and letters which have been collected and studied by feminist scholars. These documents show how different their perspectives were from their male contemporaries. For many women, life on the frontier meant further drudgery and hard work doing domestic chores, and consequently they had a different sense of the possibilities of the landscape than did their husbands and sons. Other women travelers noted in their writings that despite the promise of untouched landscapes, women's domestic captivity prevented them from enjoying what the land had to offer. This is, for example, one of the themes of Margaret Fuller's Summer on the Lakes, in 1843 (1844), which chronicles the travels of Fuller and her companions as they visit Niagara Falls, the Great Lakes, Chicago, and the Wisconsin Territory.
Nineteenth-century nature writing by women took various forms, but one theme that is seen in most of these works is the importance of the link between human beings and their natural surroundings. For most female writers, concern with the environment is not tied to a romantic longing for the openness of the rugged landscape or the withdrawal from society, which are common themes in men's nature writing. Rather, the earth is seen as the sustainer of human life and relationships, and the fragile boundary between nature and humanity is emphasized. Critics who study these women's writings have been particularly interested to show how the "gendered" female landscape that is central to nineteenth-century male writing about the environment is given more complex expression in works by women. They also show how female writing about the environment weaves together concerns about ordinary life and explores questions of community, gender, domination, and exploitation.

SOURCE: Buell, Lawrence. "Pastoral Ideology." In The Environmental Imagination: Thoreau, Nature Writing, and the Formation of American Culture, pp. 31-52. Cambridge: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 1995.
[In the following excerpt, Buell discusses the distinct manner in which nineteenth-century women depicted nature.]
The feminist critique of wilderness romance should not block us from seeing how pastoral modes have functioned as a means of empowerment for women writers. While researching environmental writing and commentary from Thoreau's day to ours, I was surprised to find a significant degree of interdependence between the "major" male figures and the work and commentary of women writers less well known. Roughly half the nature essays contributed to the Atlantic Monthly during the late nineteenth century, the point when the nature essay became a recognized genre, were by female authors.1 Among early appraisals of Thoreau, I found, unexpectedly—given the predominant notion of Thoreau as appealing more to men than to women—that commentaries by women were more likely to be favorable than those by men. The first posthumous fictional recreation of Thoreau was by a woman, Louisa May Alcott (Moods [1864]). The first book, to my knowledge, published by an outsider to the transcendentalist circle that celebrates nature as a refuge from hypercivilization with...

[In the following essay, Donovan posits that Western literary discourse has objectified and degraded nature by using inaccurate symbols (words) to displace the true meaning of the thing being described. According to Donovan, a better approach would be to direct close attention at each individual subject and to portray it in the most literal terms in order to provide a respectful description without distortion.]
There is a time for listening to the vibrations that things produce in detaching themselves [imperceptibly from] the nothing-being to which our blindness relegates them, there is a time for letting things struggling with indifference give themselves to be heard.
Il y a un temps pour écouter les vibrations que produisent les choses en se détachant imperceptiblement de l'être-rien en lequel notre aveuglement les relègue, il y a un temps pour laisser les choses en lutte avec l'indifférence, se donner à entendre.

[In the following essay, Littenberg discusses the conditions surrounding the flourishing of women's nature writing in the late nineteenth century.]
In the last decades of the nineteenth century, American popular culture embraced nature and nature study in a number of important ways that encouraged women writers. Women writers published in a wide variety of popular magazines, as well as in scholarly journals, ranging from the Atlantic Monthly and Harper's New Monthly Magazine to Nature, Scientific Monthly, Audubon, and the American Naturalist.1 As this partial list indicates, a distinction was not always made between scholarly, scientific nature writing, and popular writing; the genre of nature writing during the late nineteenth century embraced not only appreciative personal essays and sketches but narratives of field work that combined science and sentiment. In addition to the narrative flexibility of nature writing during this period, women nature writers found a growing marketplace after 1860 in the popular journals and magazines that turned writing into a commercially viable...

Criticism: The Local Landscape
SOURCE: Westling, Louise H. "Pastoral Ambivalence in Emerson and Thoreau." In The Green Breast of the New World: Landscape, Gender, and American Fiction, pp. 39-53. Athens: The University of Georgia Press, 1996.
[In the following essay, Westling examines ideas about gender at the heart of the nature writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau.]
What James Fenimore Cooper defined through fiction as white Americans' innocent inheritance of the landscape, Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau addressed explicitly in Nature and Walden, through deliberate acts of self-evaluation and national mythmaking (Lewis, American Adam, 13-27; Nash 2-10, 67-95). Oelschlaeger claims that as Thoreau's reputation has grown, Emerson has come to be seen more as a popularizer of European ideas than as an original thinker (133). But among scholars of American literature Emerson has experienced renewed popularity as a deconstructive thinker in the past fifteen years. In any case Walden grows so directly out of Nature, and echoes it so richly, that the two works must be considered together. Walden is as interlaced with European learning as Nature is, in spite of both writers' protestations of independence from the past. We have already seen how masculine opposition to the feminine metaphoric identification of land and nature is implicated in that past, and...

In Beyond Nature Writing: Expanding the Boundaries of Ecocriticism, edited by Karla Armbruster and Kathleen R. Wallace, pp. 111-25. Charlottesville: University Press of Virginia, 2001.
[In the following essay, Hoyer argues that Harriet Beecher Stowe's The Minister's Wooing is a good example of how women writers adapted male-dominated discussions about science and nature to their own purposes.]
In 1858 the preeminent American botanist Asa Gray opened his book Botany for Young People and Common Schools by quoting Matthew 6:28: "Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow" (1). Gray explains this verse as Christ's mandate to study the plants and, in so doing, to examine God's plan for humans. Later in the same volume, in describing flowers, Gray elucidates part of that plan: "The object of the flower is the production of seed. The flower consists of those parts, or organs, which are subservient to this end" (84). Those flowers that have "no proper covering or floral envelope" are "naked" (90).
Ten years later, in the first issue of the popular journal American Naturalist, another author began his article "The Fertilization of Flowering Plants" by declaring, "It is now universally accepted by...

[In the following essay, Richardson analyzes Sarah Orne Jewett's ecological focus, the connections she makes between people and nature, and her concern with spirituality in The Country of the Pointed Firs.]
"I think," said Kate, "that the more one lives out of doors the more personality there seems to be in what we call inanimate things. The strength of the hills and the voice of the waves are no longer only grand poetical sentences, but an expression of something real, and more and more one finds God himself in the world, and believes that we may read the thoughts that He writes for us in the book of Nature."
—Sarah Orne Jewett, Deephaven1
But Nature repossesses herself surely of what we boldly claim.

[In the following essay, Blair discusses the metaphor of land-as-woman, offers a theoretical foundation for a balanced exploration of gendered landscape representation, and tests her new approach by applying it to Susan Warner's 1850 novel The Wide, Wide World.]
Since the 1970s, the feminization of space has piqued the interest of geographers, feminists, and ecocritics alike. The essentializing link between women and the environment has become either a union to esteem—as some early ecofeminists affirmed—or to vilify. Recently, the ecocritical treatment of gender and the environment has been dominated by thinkers who rigorously condemn any determinist bind between women and the natural world. These writers have sought to sever the discursive equation of land and the feminine, viewing this equation as one that reduces women and nature to biological functions and fosters infantile, masculinist relations that are harmful to women and land alike. By equating women with the natural world, they reason, women are diminished to biological impulses and unalterable gender codings. Conversely, by gendering landscape female, the...

[In the following essay, Bryson examines Susan Fenimore Cooper's scientific, literary, and environmental approach to her community in Rural Hours.]
From within the forests of central New York State in the mid-1800s, a land of expansive woodlands, rolling hills, quiet lakes, and small but growing communities, writer and naturalist Susan Fenimore Cooper published a book entitled Rural Hours (1850), which described the local environment and rural customs of her home village, Cooperstown. Cooper's text, like that of fellow diarist and enthusiastic observer of nature Henry David Thoreau's Walden (1854), is organized as a daily journal and covers the span of one year, season by season. Within this deceptively simple structure, however, is a complex, multilayered narrative that integrates natural history, cultural analysis, and personal stories—together, these elements form an environmental and social snapshot of Cooperstown in the mid-nineteenth century.
As one of the earliest works of nature writing by women in America and an important part of the...

Criticism: Travel Writing

[In the following essay, Kolodny contends Margaret Fuller's travel writings, particularly Summer on the Lakes, express the existence of an Edenic world that is beyond the reach of women because of their domestic captivity.]
When Mary Austin Holley first visited Texas in the autumn of 1831, she brought rose slips from her daughter's garden in Kentucky to plant around her brother's home at Bolivar; some years later, she set out "the first strawberries in Texas."1 If the women who first contemplated making a home for themselves on the vast expanse of the American prairies thus felt the need to bring their gardens with them, a later generation claimed to discover on those same prairies a ready-made "garden interspersed with cottages, groves, and flowery lawns."2 The promotional appeals to a prairie Eden had had their effect—even on a self-willed New Englander who anticipated only antipathy at "'the encircling vastness,'" a woman who came "to the west prepared for the distaste I must experience at its mushroom growth" (SL, pp. 35, 28).
To be sure, Margaret Fuller was not contemplating settlement nor...

[In the following essay, Hust examines Mary Wollstonecraft's perception of nature in her travel writings about Scandinavia's rugged and rocky coasts.]
The landscape [or representation of a natural scene] is not so much a paradise to long for … as it is a mirror that reflects our own cultural image. We now view landscape photographs, both past and present, much like the shadows on the walls of Plato's cave. They are artifacts of what we think we know about the land, and how we have come to know it—the language of an individual's experience in his or her time, and at their best a form of commentary.
Mark Klett, 72-3
Over two hundred years ago, in June of 1795, Mary Wollstonecraft and her infant daughter boarded a ship bound for Sweden. Wollstonecraft, the English radical reviewer and polemicist for the rights of women, was on the trail of a deal that had gone bad for her smuggler lover, Gilbert Imlay.1 But while Wollstonecraft helped Imlay, she also suspected that he was unfaithful, and she needed a way to earn the money to leave him. So on her trip to Sweden she was planning to write a popular book of her...

[In the following excerpt, Kollin focuses on Elizabeth Beaman's Alaskan travel narrative in order to explore the intellectual labor that white women performed in claiming a space for themselves in new environments.]
The period that gave rise to the United States' quest for a northern frontier also saw the emergence of what historian Walter LaFeber calls the "New Empire," the project of global economic and cultural expansion that arose after the Civil War.1 The incorporation of Alaska aimed to secure the nation's hegemonic control across the Western Hemisphere, the extension of its course of empire from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the "Arctic to the Tropics."2 William Henry Seward laid the foundations for these new imperialist ambitions, negotiating the 1867 purchase of Alaska from Russia in order to establish an expanded arena for the nation's acquisitional activities. In his own words, Alaska was "the sure stepping stone to world empire," a useful land bridge to the markets of the Far East.3 Other nation builders supported Seward's expansionist projects; for instance, one lawmaker hoping to curtail...

Losano also discusses North's paintings and their relation to her writing.]
Marianne North (1830-1890), in her memoir Recollections of a Happy Life, describes her first encounter with plant life—the kingdom which will become the main interest of her adult life and the motivation behind her extensive travels1—in rather suggestive terms:
Amongst others, Mrs. Hussey's two large volumes on British fungi were my great delight one summer, and started me collecting and painting all varieties I could find at Rougham, and for about a year they were my chief hobby. One, I remember, had a most terrible smell [North's footnote: Phallus impudicus]; it came up first like a large turkey's egg, and in that state was inoffensive; and as I was very anxious to see the change, I put it under a tumbler in my bedroom window one night, and the next...

Classroom ban on fruit juice sparks mum's anger
9:02am Monday 3rd October 2011 in News By Haydn Lewis , email@example.com
A MUM has hit out at a York school's decision not to allow her daughter to drink juice in the classroom.
Liz Norburn's seven-year-old daughter, Jessica Hooton, is a pupil at Yearsley Grove Primary School in Huntington and has a doctor's note to say that, because she suffers from bad cystitis and urine infections, she must drink fluids regularly.
Ms Norburn said that although the school allows pupils to drink water in class, her daughter will only drink water with juice diluted in it, and if she doesn't drink she can be left in pain and discomfort.
She said: "I only send her with a very weak diluted drink, but she has to leave it outside the classroom, as only water is allowed.
"I feel like Jessica is being singled out and she's been really upset by it.
"If she was in a wheelchair you wouldn't ask her to leave it outside the classroom door, why ask my daughter to leave her juice in her bag?"
Ann Burn, head teacher at Yearsley Grove, said although she could not comment on the individual case, the school encouraged children to drink plenty of water.
She said the school had a policy where children were invited to take a bottle of water into the classroom which they could drink from at all times, but juice was not allowed.
Mrs Burn said: "Bottles of juice are not allowed in classrooms because when spilt, juice causes a sticky mess which can be hard to clean up in carpeted areas.
"However, children can bring juice and leave it on the packed lunch trolley found in an uncarpeted area outside their classroom.
"They can drink this at lesson breaks and lunchtimes, and at other times with the permission of their teacher.
"This policy has been operating for many years without previous complaint.
"Should any child have a health condition which requires them to drink a specific amount of fluid at regular intervals, we would treat this as an official medical procedure to be carried out under supervision in the medical room."

There are numerous camera types on the market and Surveillance Video carries them all for your convenience. Board cameras are small, compact cameras that features a lens directly mounted to a circuit board. They are most often used for discrete applications. Bullet cameras differ mainly in their appearance. Also called lipstick cameras, they are small, cylindrical, and often housed in metal casing. Domes are half spherical shaped cameras that are often used when discrete applications are needed. Fixed cameras are also known as box cameras and often consist of only the camera body; a lens, a power supply, and a bracket must be purchased separately. These cameras are most often what comes to mind when a security camera is thought of.
Most of these different camera types come in indoor and outdoor models. Nightvision models are also available that combine the camera with infra-red LED�s for night time capability. With all these choices, it�s common to not be sure about what camera or cameras fit your needs. Simply call 1-800-955-5201 and talk to one of our surveillance specialists. We�re more than happy to help.

Mr. ADKISON called up his notice given Friday to reconsider the vote by which Mr. Yancey's bill [S. 62] was rejected to prevent the running at large of stock, was rejected.
Mr. HENRY Insisted if there ever was a time- when such a bill should be passed it is now when so many fences have been swept away by the recent floods The present law has been found wholly insufficient. The running at large of stock ought not to be allowed.
Mr. LOCKRIDGE also hoped the bin will pass. There never was a time when such legislation 1s- more needed than the present. Being at home over Sunday the people with whom he talked: were universally demanding such a measure. In many cases no fences have been left and there not sufficient timber to replace them. The statistics of 1880 show the fencing in. Indiana alone would reach fourteen and one-half times around the world, and the rail fence in Allen County would reach nine times around the State. The value of stock in this State is $104,658 260, or over $l2,000,000 less than the estimated value of fencing. This will be a big question in the near future: if about one-fourth or one eighth the amount of fencing will keep stock up.
Mr. MAY trusted the bill would not pass It is not consistent in Senators to vote for $100,000 to be given to sufferers in the Southern part of the State one minute and then vote for the passage of this bill the next. Simply say to the people along the Ohio River, "you shall fence in your stock," thus making a pasture monopoly for land owners and consign poor people to suffer by taking from them the main stay of their subsistance-their cows. He remonstrated against the passage of this bill, especially at this time.
Mr. DAVIDSON said if this bill does not consume a good deal of time it is worthy of careful consideration. He opposed any measure that has a tendency to make neighbors fallout with each other and quarrel, and that is what the present page: 226[View Page 226] law for enclosing stock does whenever it is enforced. He would prefer to furnish pasture for the poor man who works for him, than to keep all his land fenced in. Then when cows are kept in pasture the owner can find them, otherwise they stray off four or five miles, and will not give as good milk or as much of it as if they had a pasture to run in. He favored the passage of this bill.
Mr. ADKISON explained he made the motion to reconsider at the request of the author of the bill, and having voted against it twice before would do so again.
Mr. VOYLES insisted this bill would work a hardship in some portions of the State. The present law on this subject is right-it is in effect to make a local option on this subject. A petition to the Commissioners will certainly reflect the will of the people in the locality, and the County Commissioners will undoubtedly reflect that will.
The bill failed to pass by yeas, 21; nays. 22.
