Terrific style, sturdy as well. Holds most of my one year olds toys. Am considering obtaining another. I would consider all oeuf products.
SKTucson, Arizona, USA1/1/2013
This Oeuf shelving unit has really turned out to be worth the investment because it looks so cute and is very easy to access. The shelves angle so that my 3 year old can easily take out and put away his toys and books. We love it!

The REDRocket technology is long in the tooth and isn't supporting your users' needs at a standard which meets the lovely imaging systems you've released.
The REDRocket is the bottleneck.
We need a portable, affordable playback and debayering system.
A Rocket card is $5K+ - if your Rocket goes down, the replacement is $3K - so conceivably, you could be into a Rocket system for $8K on a $12K camera (Scarlet) -
This cost is totally out of proportion and should be adjusted to the needs of today's user base.
When the Rocket was released to serve the original RED ONE, I was relieved and grateful. But times have changed (thanks to RED!), cameras and expectations have changed. And now I just find myself frustrated by the bottleneck, by the pricing, by the lack of portability of the Rocket system, by the reports of weak solder joints which make me reluctant to move the card between systems, by the uninspiring third-party chassis options - and their lack of availability.
There have been tons of threads begging for an updated Rocket system. We want something portable, swappable, fast, efficient, Thunderbolt-enabled, and at a price point which is proportional to the amount spent on the SCARLET.
Beloved RED, you have solved way bigger problems than this and you are working on solutions which "defy gravity" - surely, you can do this one little thing to solve a current, ongoing and frustrating problem for your loyal user base? Pretty please?
I need it. I want it. Yesterday if not sooner.
Yours in humble and eternal gratitude -

Holy Ground
Price: | $7.99 |
Choose a Retailer Below
SPANISH EDITION. Chris Castaldo takes readers on a fascinating and practical exploration of the challenges and opportunities encountered by Catholics who become Evangelicals. More than just theological insight and historical background, Holy Ground shows you how to emulate the grace and truth of Jesus as you relate to your own Catholic past and the Catholic faith of those you love.
ePub, Reflowable$6.99
Download - Audio, Unabridged$12.99
Do you dread conversation at Christmas dinner with your Catholic family? At weddings, funerals, and holidays? Chris Castaldo has wrestled personally with this question and many more. Perhaps you have too. Whether you are a former Roman Catholic or know someone who is, you'll find helpful answers and encouraging support within these pages. Like: how can Evangelicals and Catholics reach such different conclusions from the same Scripture? When I talk about my faith with my Catholic family, why does someone always get upset? How does my Catholic background still influence my views of God and salvation? And how should I talk with my Catholic friends about Jesus? More than providing historical perspective, theological reflection, and practical lessons, Holy Ground is a dynamic exploration of how to emulate both the grace and truth of the Lord Jesus Christ in relation to the Catholic people you love.

European Decorative Arts and Sculpture Plaque showing a Doctor Bleeding a Woman Made in Netherlands, Europec. 1755 Artist/maker unknown, Dutch Tin-glazed earthenware Currently not on view 2000-153-4 Gift of Audrey and William H. Helfand, 2000 |
LabelThe shape of this plaque is rare, as is its decoration. The scene of bloodletting, a common practice in the eighteenth century, is probably based on a composition the artist would have seen reproduced in a print. The plaque's white border indicates that it was originally placed in a wood frame. |

9600GT x2
I really must start clearing out
ATI Raedeon 5870
GTX 460, 9800gtx for PhysX only seeing 45% gpu utilization in the benchmark on the 460 Hopefully we see better optimization by the release.
I own a GTX 480, and a GTX 260
I got a spiffing ATI RAGE 128 PRO (AGP 4x). Its performance is devastating!
I have got a Palit gtx 460 sonic platinum, absolute beast of a card at stock, and a monster when OC'ed. And a Bfg gtx 260 oc maxcore 55 216 for physx.
I have 2 GTX 480s in SLi, a GTS 250 for dedicated PhysX, and a GTX 285 which I keep as a spare.
yeah ... and why my 8600 gt with 1280x720 res is working with apex on medium ) i mean it's great but , for me 25 frames it is just enough .....you mean , if i have a ati 5750 with 1gb of vram , it cannot work with apex on medium ? ....i really need to upgrade my gpu , i want it to work perfectly , very smooth .... but in the same time i want apex on medium , not higher than that ......
Heat Bad Or Good ?
I own a Ati Radeon x1300 pro, kickass card, runs Deus Ex on Max Details.
One Sapphire Radeon 5850 1 gb. Maxing everything out with 60fps on 1680 x 1050 without Physx and AA.
currently a 7800GT in old crate that wont run Mafia 2, my 9800GTX+ is broken and waiting for it to be replaced, it decided to die last week, typical
I have a nice 3dfx voodoo 3 here all 16mb of it
was a great card, still have one somewhere, also got a Geforce2MX, really dont know why I keep them...
I own a Nvidia GTS 360m, runs game on high, AA, and Physx on medium
GTX 480 + GTX 285 for PhysX
everything on max
XFX Radeon 5870. Running everything on High no V-Sync or Phys-X getting around 95-100 FPS in the benchmark.
Ati radeon Hd5850 1gb ddr6
Nvidia Geforce 9800GT
Currently... Geforce 7900GT 256MB (not enough power to run Mafia II as my FPS averages about 8.5fps in Benchmark in Mafia II demo)
Tomorrow... Radeon HD 5670 512MB (which should bring Mafia II back to life with much better frames per second) (which is pretty much equal to a Geforce 9800GT (or a little worse) on Nvidia side of things)
EDIT: that Radeon HD 5670 512MB card worked a miracle for my PC i can run on MAX graphics @ 1920x1080 (AA = off , PhysX = off) and in the Benchmark (which is harder on your system in general than the normal game is) i averaged 24.3fps which is a night and day difference vs 8.5fps average on my 7900GT

Nvidea GeForce 8800 gts. I'm buying Mafia II for the PS3 though, i think they games are best with controllers. I know i can buy a controller for the PC but they're normally not as good as the PS3 controller.
GTX 480 + 9800 Gt dedicated Physx. I have to say I'm really happy with the Fermi gpu's
Is it true that Windows 7 is 10% faster when playing games than Windows XP?
But one of the reasons I am not on 7 now is because I don't like the directory system design..
An oc'd GTX 480.
Oc'd 9800 GT.. everything on high excep physX on medium.. 30fps+

ALGIERS, Algeria (AP) - The bloody three-day hostage standoff at a Sahara natural gas plant took a dramatic turn Friday as Algeria's state news service reported that nearly 100 of the 132 foreign workers kidnapped by Islamic militants had been freed.
That number of hostages at the remote desert facility was significantly higher than any previous report, and still meant that the fate of over 30 foreign energy workers was unclear. Yet it could indicate a potential breakthrough in the confrontation that began when the militants seized the plant early Wednesday.
The militants, meanwhile, offered to trade two captive American workers for two terror figures jailed in the United States, according to a statement received by a Mauritanian news site that often reports news from North African extremists.
The Friday report from the government news agency APS, citing a security official, did not mention any casualties in the battles between Algerian forces and the militants. But earlier it had said that 18 militants had been killed, along with six hostages.
It was not clear whether the remaining foreigners were still captive or had died during the Algerian military offensive to free them that began Thursday.
The desert siege erupted Wednesday when the militants attempted to hijack two buses at the plant, were repulsed, and then seized the sprawling refinery.
Since then, Algeria's government has kept a tight grip on information. It wasn't clear how the government arrived at the latest tally of hostages, which was far higher than the 41 foreigners the militants had claimed as hostages.
The militants had seized hundreds of workers from 10 nations at Algeria's remote Ain Amenas natural gas plant. The overwhelming majority were Algerian and were freed almost immediately.
Algerian forces retaliated Thursday by storming the plant in an attempted rescue operation that left leaders around the world expressing strong concerns about the hostages' safety.
Militants claimed 35 hostages died on Thursday when Algerian military helicopters opened fire as the Islamists transported the hostages around the gas plant.
On Friday, trapped in the main refinery area, the militants offered to trade two American hostages for two prominent terror figures jailed in the United States. Those the militants sought included Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh who was convicted of plotting to blow up New York City landmarks and considered the spiritual leader of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, and Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani scientist convicted of shooting at two U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan.
But U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said there would be "no place to hide" for anyone who looks to attack the United States.
"Terrorists should be on notice that they will find no sanctuary, no refuge, not in Algeria, not in North Africa, not anywhere," Panetta said Friday.
Workers kidnapped by the militants came from around the world - Americans, Britons, French, Norwegians, Romanians, Malaysians, Japanese, Algerians.
World leaders have expressed strong concerns in the past few days about how Algeria was handing the situation and its apparent reluctance to communicate.
Terrorized hostages from Ireland and Norway trickled out of the Ain Amenas plant, 800 miles (1,300 kilometers) south of Algiers, the capital. BP, which jointly operates the plant, said it had begun to evacuate employees from Algeria.
"This is a large and complex site and they are still pursuing terrorists and possibly some of the hostages," British Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday in London.
He told British lawmakers the situation remained fluid and dangerous, saying "part of the threat has been eliminated in one part of the site, a threat still remains in another part."
Schemm reported from Rabat, Morocco. Associated Press writers Lolita Baldor in Washington, Lori Hinnant in Paris, and Cassandra Vinograd in London contributed to this report.

An ideal entrée for those who don't want or need to cook an entire turkey but would like the "turkey with stuffing" experience. The preparation, herb butter, and stuffing can be made one day in advance, easing the workload on turkey day.
Cod provides good flavor to the broth and vegetables in this satisfying family-friendly recipe.
Easy to make and great for kids, try using a different variety of preserves each time you make them. We love to use fresh seasonal fruit, too. These cookies are inspired by a recipe from one of our health partners, Dr.
Silken tofu is a priceless ingredient when it comes to making smooth and creamy pies like this one. Vegan pumpkin pecan pie will stand up well on any holiday dessert buffet.
Turn the classic kids' sandwich into whole wheat muffins with a sweet center. We love these muffins with standard grape jelly and strawberry jam, but try plum and rhubarb, too. For a nut-free version, swap peanut butter for sunflower seed butter.
Inspired by the traditional Guatemalan dish pepián, this flavorful stew combines pumpkin seeds, corn tortillas, chile peppers and tomatillos to make a rich sauce for chicken, but it could also be made with pork or beef.
These richly flavored chocolate cookies are slightly chewy right after baking, becoming wonderfully tender and velvety in texture after a few days. If you like, you can dust the cooled cookies with more powdered sugar for a festive look.
Pull together this simple fruit crisp with your favorite summer berries and a couple of pantry staples. This recipe is a fun way to feature stone fruits, too. We love using a combination of nectarines and cherries.
This recipe can easily be doubled for a crowd and can be prepared up to two weeks ahead of time. Just cool and freeze soup, then thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating while you prepare the croutons.
This bold green sauce comes together in a flash in the food processor. Garlic, capers and anchovy add complexity to a lively purée of parsley and basil. You'll have some salsa verde left over, so enjoy it on chicken, fish or vegetables as well as the beef in this...
Sure, pasta salad is nothing new but the summertime flavor of grilled vegetables and our tender mozzarella make it a party favorite. Feel free to change it up with different veggies or dressings.
This fragrant soup, with a foundation of vitamin-rich farro grain, will both satisfy your appetite and warm you up on a chilly winter day. This rare grain can easily be substituted with spelt, another ancient form of wheat that is more readily available.
Sautéed vegetables enhance your choice of russet or red potatoes in this casserole. Quickly prepare and pop in the oven to finish while getting the rest of your meal ready.
Serve this salad with chicken, fish, grilled tofu or simply on its own to wow a crowd. With tomatoes, corn, chives, basil and black beans, it packs a healthy dose of antioxidants.

Binding Bliss...
Sometimes the planets must be aligned just right, my star is shining, my guardian quilter is helping...whatever the case might be... (even tho the ipod is still missing..can they please help me with THIS detail NEXT TIME?!?)
I can't believe I went all the way around this quilt, sewing on the binding....and NOT ONCE....NOT ONCE I tell you....did a seam fall anywhere near a corner!
I think this is a kin to a golfer's HOLE IN ONE, don't you?
I mean, it never fails..I usually have to un-stitch a bit, re-piece a seam further up the side, to avoid having that seam fall in the corner miter. Sometimes I end up doing it TWICE in one quilt. (Which is more than anyone's fair share if you ask me.)
But something serendipitous happened this time...My muse was with me....no seams near ANY corner.
No hand stitching got done...I ended up doing more packing, and then started watching the "First Wives Club", a chick flick with Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler...too hilarious.
Last night I also quickly machine basted this little leader/ender framed 9 patch thingy for hand quilting. It's just the right size to take along with me. This one I pieced several months ago while having a sew day at Mary's house.
The border is in the process of being quilted on the "Love in the Barn Door" quilt, and I wanted to be sure I didn't run out of things to quilt on during the next week!
This morning, look who I found napping in the basket on the dining room table!
Well, he WAS napping, but now it looks like he is just GLARING..due to the fact that the little beep the camera makes when you turn it on woke him up. Sorry Oscar!
13 comments:
I hate those binding blues too. At the suggestion of a friend, I finally started pinning the start of the binding in place and then by hand, take the binding and go around the quilt with it to see if a miter ends up at a corner. It only takes a few minutes and almost always works.
Love Oscar. Is he Siamese? He reminds me of my old cream point Siamese cats.I too will do anything to avoid the binding blues. I too roughly pin the binding on and try to move any seams out of the corner's way. It's a bit of work, but a big payoff... Love your blog and appreciate all the work you put into it. I signed up on the link for the magazine's blog the other day. I feel LUCKY!!!.
ReplyDeleteDear Bonnie,
I, too, dread the seam in the miter experience. I just finished putting on the binding of a quilt that had eight seams in the binding. (I was really cutting it close for having enough of the fabric that I wanted for the binding, and had to use just about every last piece I could find, no matter how small.) Like others have mentioned, I did a rough pinning to make sure the seams didn't hit the corners. Somehow I, too, had the muses with me. Enjoy your day. I continue to enjoy your blog and continue to work on my Double Delight!
Best wishes, Kathie L.I've a question for you Bonnie, since you seem to find lots of wonderfully loved quilts that have been previously loved... to purchase. How do I know if a price is good or not on a quilt? I've found a lovely blue and white signiture quilt with what looks like water stains on it.... I ran out of time to ask the lady at the shop how much.... but it was there last time and well, hopefully if it's still there and all maybe I can get it for a good price. But, what would be a good price? If I recall right it's maybe a twin size or somewhat larger. Thanks.
Jean email@example.com, I really enjoy your blog. I'm a new quilter and still discovering all those Blogs out there - one could spend all day at the computer and not get any actual quilting done. I've been having problems since installing IE8 and have now installed FireFox which I should have done ages ago. Thanks for all your valuable info.
ReplyDeleteMy largest kitty, Baby (20#+) always squeezes herself into baskets, boxes, bowls...whatever she can get her toes in. Then she settles around it like a chicken sitting on an egg. Too funny!
Since I love scrappy bindings I usually have 20+ seams to worry about. If the quilting muse is with me even though a seam is at a corner it behaves and miters as it should.
Sewing binding on is like a final goodbye to a friend. Unless it is one I get to keep for myself.
Have a great week.
And I love your toes!I used to worry about seams in the miters but now I do a lot of scrappy bindings with various lengths for the strips and I have given up worrying and find it really isn't much harder to do the hand sewing.
Love all your quilts and your kitty. Our cats are all outside cats but my poodle cuddles under/on every quilt when I am doing the hand sewing on the binding.

One aspect rather favorable to Romania at this point is that it still is outside the Euro zone and therefore, it may rely on the local currency's controlled fluctuations to some extent. In Romania, the laws are adopted by the Parliament. However, the laws may be modified or disregarded in a legal manner by ordinance or an emergency ordinance issued by the Government (the emergency ordinances benefit from immediate application and are commonly used in Romania). The Court orders are issued after long years of trials and the jurisprudence of the Courts of Law is mandatory and applicable only for the parties of the trial and do not constitute judiciary precedents for other causes (except for the very few guiding decisions issued in some specific cases by the Supreme Court). The Romanian Constitution provisions' observance is insured by the Constitutional Court; its rulings are not mandatory, but only consultative (according to a very recent modification of the Constitutional Court Law by an emergency government ordinance issued in this respect). The current ruling alliance of political parties (leaded by the Socialist Party of the former President Ion Iliescu and former Prime-Minister Adrian Nastase), has practically no opponent to hinder its decisions and it has recently been elected by over 40% of the Romanian population in the local elections. As a result, the new Romanian executive force (the Socialist Government) may adopt and apply, without delay, any measure required to speed-up the absorption of E.U. funds and may solely lead Romania, without the interference or depending on any other state institutions. Undoubtedly, it shall not be an easy task for the new Government, but considering the above mentioned strong advantages, which most of the other countries of the E.U. do not have, failing is not an option. So much the more, the level of expectation of the population is explosive regarding, among others: the limitation of unemployment, limitation of energy, gas and health costs, increase of the wages in the public sector, significant increase of pensions, special privileges and tax exemptions awaited by the 1989 Revolution's related persons, without forgetting about the very numerous persons relying exclusively on social aids provided by the state budget.
"God gives you but he is never stuffing it into your bag," is an old Romanian saying suggesting that everything one achieves in life should come with an effort. Most Romanians seem to have forgotten the proverb under the Communist regime which gave citizens a house and a job regardless of their efforts. They are now finding it difficult to get their funds from the European Union (EU), which involves making an effort.
The second poorest country in the EU, Romania continues to fail with the absorption of EU funds. At around 7.4% it is the state with the lowest absorption rate in the European Union. Absorption capacity is the extent to which a state is able to spend financial help from the EU in an effective and efficient way.
After joining the EU in 2007, Romania was told it could access up to €20 billion in aid until 2013 in order to catch up with more advanced EU members. It did not make good use of EU largesse. Victor Ponta, the prime minister, recently said the country is in danger of losing €100m from the European Commission by the end of the year. Next year Romania stands to lose more than €1 billion in the human-resources sector amid concerns over corruption and other irregularities.
That's not all. In April, Leonard Orban, boss of the newly created ministry of European Affairs, said the EU might freeze five development programmes if the country fails to respect European recommendations by the end of June. It wouldn't be the first time the European Commission decides to block payments to Romania. In February, Brussels withheld funding for Romania after it revealed a series of irregularities estimated at around €3.5 billion in the management of the human-resources development sector.
Romania's very low degree of EU funds absorption has become an obsessive problem for the government in Bucharest. The government has repeatedly said the European funds represent the main priority for the country this year.
What are the main reasons for the failure to absorb the EU's so-called structural funds? Analysts point to corruption, a lack of motivation and information, inadequate administrative capacity and major gaps in understanding how EU institutions work.
To tackle the problem the government set up the ministry run by Mr Orban in September. Romanians are in urgent need of the structural funds that are being withheld. Five years after Romania joined the EU, there are still villages around the country where people live without electricity or running water. Romania's infrastructure is far from European standards, with just 300 kilometers of highway and dozens of damaged roads built during Ceausescu's regime.
The European Commission is expected to publish a new report on Romania in the following weeks. The political turmoil Romania has experienced recently and the fact that the country has re-entered recession last month is adding pressure on the government.
The clock is ticking as the country is heading for the 2013 deadline for absorbing the European money. The Management Authority, the institution in charge of funds absorption for the human-resources programme, must make a radical change by the end of this year, said Mr Ponta. Otherwise he will restructure the authority completely next year. He is even prepared to risk the loss of the entire EU budget for 2013. This could be an opportunity for Romania to start all over again; this time maybe in the right direction.

Three in every four teachers were effective in Florida classrooms last year, but 2 percent need improvement, according to a state report released Wednesday.
The report offered the first glimpse of how the state's new controversial evaluation system graded teachers in 2011-12. The system combines a test score-driven, statistical formula with traditional principal observations.
But the report is preliminary and far from conclusive in judging teacher performance -- or how well the new system is working.
In fact, there was at least one mistake in the report -- some teachers in Hillsborough County were counted twice -- that prompted administrators at the state Department of Education to take the report off its website to double-check information. Cynthia Sucher, the DOE's communications director, said Hillsborough officials alerted the state that the number of teachers listed was greater than the actual number of teachers employed. Sucher said the department "reviewed all records and found duplicate reporting in some other district reports, as well." She couldn't say how many or where, but that an updated report was expected to be available Thursday.
"We feel comfortable that we got it now. But we don't want to take a chance, so we're going through it with a fine-tooth comb," she said.
The incident echoes what happened over the summer, when the state released school grades, but later had to correct more than 200 because state administrators forgot to include part of the grade formula.
Wednesday's report on teacher evaluations did not include information on about a quarter of Florida teachers. It is missing the majority of Miami-Dade's teachers and all of Palm Beach County's.
Other districts' results vary widely. Broward had nearly 92 percent of teachers rated effective, compared to 100 percent of teachers in Monroe; 55 percent in Hillsborough; and 16 percent in Leon.
In Broward, there are concerns that top teachers who instruct high-performing students are graded "needs improvement."
Kathy Hebda, the state's deputy chancellor for educator quality, said a final report for 2011-12 will be available in January. She attributed differences among districts to local flexibility in how student performance data was included in the system. State and district administrators showed an "abundance of caution" in the first roll-out, she said.
"Any time you do something this big, you need to do it very carefully and very thoughtfully and that's what they've done," Hebda said. "I think it is a valid instrument."
Others disagree. Florida Education Association President Andy Ford said in a statement the incomplete report is further proof that the evaluation tool is "still not ready for prime time."
Under the old system, there were only two grades for teachers: satisfactory and unsatisfactory. And the state received reports that less than 1 percent of Florida teachers were unsatisfactory.
The new test score-driven evaluations -- dubbed "value-added" -- were mandated by the Florida Legislature last year and combine traditional observations with student scores and other data. By the 2014-15 school year, the new evaluations will be tied to tenure and salary.

Historical Background
Jazz takes place in Harlem, New York during the late 1920s. The twenties is a period known in the United States as "The Age of Prosperity." At the end of World War I in 1918, "The war to end all wars," America breathed a sigh of relief, as a collective effort freed the world from German imperialism.
After helping to make the world safe for democracy, there were celebrations nationwide. Americans were eager to refocus their attention on themselves. As a result, the country experienced a growth spurt. Modernization brought the invention of the automobile, an increase in the standard of living, in economic opportunities, and in leisure time.
There was a new way of living. For the first time people worked less hours per week and there was more money to spend on entertainment and conveniences. Appliances like irons, washing machines, and vacuum cleaners were widely available. Canned foods and commercial bakeries freed women from long hours in the kitchen. Movies, baseball games, and sports of every sort were popular.
A new emphasis was placed on education. More children attended school regularly with the goal of completing their educations. An education reform movement called for going beyond the three R's to a more progressive approach.
The political and social climates were pushed in all different directions. The twenties brought the end of the ideals of the Wilson Era.
The presidency passed...

Jazz (Magill's Literary Annual 1991-2005)
In 1987, Toni Morrison achieved a decisive plateau in her career with her fifth novel, Beloved, a Pulitzer Prize-winning best-seller that solidified her position as the leading African American novelist of her generation. With Jazz, on the other hand, Morrison has dared to risk her established position by writing a novel that is less masterful and confident, more exploratory and tentative. She begins Jazz not in the rural and small-town settings that are her recognized forte, but in Harlem in the 1920's; and she uses the novel to explore her mixed feelings about that legendary time and place. Also, Morrison creates quite an unconventional narrator, one who is not the authoritative master of her characters' lives and fates, but rather a character in her own right who is at times as uncertain and fallible as the other people in the book. Jazz thus seems at times less in control than Morrison's other novels, but its inventiveness is exhilarating, and its many stories, characters, and perspectives are richly imagined and frequently moving.
The Harlem Renaissance of the 1920's is a legendary period of African American creativity in fiction and poetry, but Morrison curiously makes no reference to the rich literary culture of that era. Rather, her emphasis is on jazz—the distinctively urban African American music that reached an early peak in the 1920's. Thus Jazz begins with an anecdote that seems the...

Ideas for Group Discussions
Any discussion of Jazz will probably deal with questions of motivation and of verisimilitude. Although a powerful verbal construct in itself, is Jazz a faithful representation of the Great Migration? Although this discussion has mentioned novels by Ralph Ellison, James Baldwin and Richard Wright that treated the same cultural phenomenon in similar ways, is this a "literary" or a scientific, verifiable way of reading the effects of this very important cultural phenomenon, one whose impact we feel profoundly with us today? One way to approach this is to read essays or books by historians who specialize in African-American cultural patterns, to find challenges to or corroboration of the hopes and disappointments Morrison, Ellison, and others portray so powerfully.
A related issue is the whole question of motivation. Are Joe and Violet's crimes believable? Do we understand all the forces that drove them to aberrant acts? Do we need to? Similarly, is Dorcas's refusal to name her assailant credible? Is it consistent with the hedonist Morrison portrays Dorcas as evolving into?
1. Discuss the "presence of jazz" in Jazz. Music is experienced in different ways by the various characters. Does the music form a single background for the action, or a plurality of backgrounds, depending on which character's perspective is closest at any given time?
2. Analyze the music of language in Jazz. Select a few passages,...

Children were afraid of Wild and mothers-to-be prayed that the new baby would not be like her. New brides left food for her to eat.
3. Joe was shocked and embarrassed when Hunter's Hunter hinted that Wild was his mother. Then he was angry that she didn't care about him. After his initial reaction to the news, Joe became curious, and would track Wild to find out more about her. Finally, Joe developed a strong desire to have his...

3. Dorcas had trouble getting boyfriends because she wasn't particularly attractive. Some might say her light skin and long hair would make her pretty, but, it didn't. The childish way she dressed and wore her hair didn't help matters. Another problem was when a young man was interested, Dorcas was always trying to push him to do things he didn't want to.

Social Concerns
Shortly before she won the Nobel Prize for Literature, the first ever awarded to an African-American woman writer, Toni Morrison released Jazz, the second novel in her trilogy of "ourstory." (See the biographical entry on Morrison for an explanation of her particular concern that history has been a political and social construct reflecting primarily the views of white males.) The trilogy is her narrative of the African-American voyage from slavery to the contemporary situation of a still-divided American society.
The first book in this trilogy, Beloved (1987; see separate entry), addressed the immediate effects of slave culture in the struggles of the heroine Sethe, her mother-in-law Baby Suggs, and her eventual lover Paul D, to rebuild their lives after harrowing escapes from slave plantations, relocations to Cincinnati, just across the Ohio River from slave territory, and Sethe's desperate act—murdering her daughter to prevent her ever suffering the ignominy of being enslaved. Set principally some fifty years later, Jazz takes up the "Great Migration" of the end of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century, when African Americans, suffering under the Jim Crow patterns of segregation that had developed in the American South since the early days of Reconstruction, migrated hopefully to the large industrial cities of the North seeking freedom, jobs, and relief from officially supported racist policies. Although...

Techniques / Literary Precedents
Although Jazz is part of a larger narrative that began with Beloved and moves on to Paradise, it is much more daring and sophisticated than either of the other novels in its literary technique. With this book, Morrison achieves a singular identification of form and function by naming the novel after an indigenous musical convention, then presenting manifestations of that musical form as part of the context in which the characters and events take shape; almost every section of the novel mentions the omnipresence of jazz music as a counterpoint to the events of the text. Finally, the novel emulates structurally the properties of a jazz improvisation, developing a melodic (plot) line then improvising variations on that line. Much as solos in a jazz group are passed among various instruments and players, in a seeming competition for the listeners' attention and approval (but this competition is also a collaboration, in which the sum of the performance is greater than any one musician's solo), Jazz uses many voices to tell two complementary narratives. One story centers on Joe's murdering Dorcas and its consequences, whereas the other is the Reconstruction story concerning the birth and maturation of Golden Gray; the obvious link is that Gray's story has become family folklore that fixed Violet's values in so distorted a fashion that, even after all the suffering, she explains the needs that drove her to madness as wanting to be "White. Light....

Gates, David. "American Means Black, Too." Newsweek 119 (April 27, 1992): 66. A review of Jazz that maintains that the novel is not just about the story and characters but also about "the process of its own creation."
Hulbert, Ann. "Romance and Race." Review of Jazz, by Toni Morrison. The New Republic 206 (May 18, 1992): 43-48. Hulbert criticizes Jazz as a failed experiment in self-conscious improvisation. She argues that Morrison's characters are flat and her descriptions clichéd. According to Hulbert, although Morrison intends to avoid romanticizing blackness, she instead ends up sentimentalizing family domesticity.
Jones, Carolyn M. "Traces and Cracks: Identity and Narrative in Toni Morrison's Jazz." African American Review 31 (Fall, 1997): 481-495. Jones discusses Jazz in relation to its precursor, Beloved, tracing the theme of healing and reconstructing "cracked" black identity through love. She compares the formation of identity to the improvisation of jazz and concludes that Jazz represents both the ongoing construction of personal identity and the formation of community.

Q: I'm a sommelier, and I was wondering whether sulfites in wine cause major health concerns? — Bruno
A: Sulfites, which are added to wines to prevent bacterial growth, are also found in products like dried fruit, baked goods and pickled foods. They cause allergic reactions in a very small percentage of the population. Most people who complain of headaches when drinking wine are reacting to other substances present in wine, such as alcohol. Those actually allergic to sulfites suffer from symptoms ranging from rashes to abdominal pain to breathing problems when exposed to sulfites. Because sulfites occur naturally in wine due to the fermentation process, they are present at some level in all wines. A few wines are made without added sulfites, but they are quite perishable. In the United States, wines that have more than 10 parts per million of sulfites must bear a label that says "contains sulfites."

An out-of-control Sunset
This is a temple near the main wat of Angkor in Siem Reap. The sunset was going crazy and then some Cambodian security came to clear people out of the temple. I stayed on the run (sorta), ducking in and out of these little tombs when they came around in their cute little uniforms. I would have been more intimidated if they looked like Cambodian military (I don't want to mess with those guys), but they looked like hired help… Eventually everyone was gone but me and a few security guards, making the rounds… eventually the rouse was up and my Metal Geal Solid routine had run its course.

Well then while we are at it let us further this witch hunt take up arms against fathers, grandfathers ,uncles ect.who perpetuate incest and pedophilia .Violence against women and children in all kinds of sex abuse serious and real physical violence , as well as not so serious ect. and who are protected within families this would then include wives and mothers who do not protect themselves or their children who simply hide it behind closed doors.
Let us then turn to parents and ask them why they do not bring up their children to have enough character and self respect to repell these predators.Then men and women who breed children and then desert them and they have to be brought up in intitutions. And finally let us look at the majority of cared for children within the Catholic system who were never molested sexually who were happily brought up and educated by good nuns and brothers.The majority friends.The majority.
How about atacking the porn on the Internet ,producers and directors of dodgy films the list goes on and on.Why just the Church?

Mr Coogan is saying so many of the things that I as a 58 to 1960 abused 'Daingean resident' offered as input in this story (to Niall O'Dowd; but I guess he is too busy to reply to voice and/or emails). As I wanted to include my experience there, and why I now feel that we (particularly us Irish) 'may be allowing' the throwing of (non pedophile and/or sadist types) Archbishops and others UNDER THE BUS for having surcum to a 'Vatican enforced Indoctrination/Culture of SILENCE AND OBEDIENCE'...

Tim Pat,
you demonstrate an encyclopedic knowledge of irish history. thanks for this article. Also thank you for your mention of the Legion of Christ in your book on the history of Ireland; there have been a number of cases of sexual abuse by Legionaries at their Novitiate in Stillorgan, some of them mentioned on by REGAIN on its website www.regainnetwork.org. One of the victims, Aaron Loughrey from Derry had the courage to come forward and get his perpetrator, an Irish Legionary priest, taken out of circulation by that secretive organization, Legion of Christ and its Regnum Christi lay group.

As a survivor sexual abuse which was ignored by my family & my Catholic priest uncle, I agree with the main premise of the article: Pope Benedict should resign in disgrace & humility (if humility is possible on his part), direct all Cardinals, bishops, parish priests & deacons worldwide involved in any way with this atrocity do the same, & spend the rest of his days in an isolated monastery, on his knees begging forgiveness from his God. He doesn't deserve even that much grace & leniency.
I went on in my career as a crisis intervention counselor to provide assistance to numerous victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, incest & rape. Many of these women, and some men and boys, but especially women & and girls, were advised by their spiritual leaders to accept the blame for the assaults, to be a better wife, daughter, girlfriend, to dress differently, act differently, in other words, take on the responsibility for the attack(s). This attitude is still pervasive worldwide, across cultures & continents. Until men, and men of the cloth, understand that women are God's creation, deserving of honor & respect, nothing will change. Men of honor, whether clergy or laity of any faith, must stand alongside women & say, "No more! We will not allow some men to portray all men as predators & pedophiles, & we will take an active part in eradication of these horrendous crimes."
Sexual abuse, assault, rape & incest must become a MEN'S ISSUE before we see true reform & true protection for the vulnerable among us. Let the work begin anew.

This is what I think:
Why single out the Irish? Priestly scandals are big issue also in the United States.
I agree that the people, the congregation, must have a say in choosing their bishops and must begin in selecting priests. But this is Vatican's problem; not local dioceses. It's the Church Fathers that "invented" the Catholic Church Code of Canon Law, so Vatican must the first and foremost to resolve the problem and lay out procedures. The problem in this Code is, although it mentions "rights" of the faithfuls, the faithfuls are not really able to exercise these rights. What the Church is only telling its faithfuls is "do this, do that, you must be this, you must be that, you give, give, give, be generous" all the time. Faithfuls must realize that Church laws come from the top (Vatican or church authorities)to the bottom (people); but money flows from bottom to top. Therefore the source of all these buildings of huge churches and cathedrals is the people. All these church authorities have to do is ask. When Judas Iscariot killed himself, the disciples decided that he must be replaced and there was nomination. Believe me or not, the first violators of the Code are the makers themselves. Many, and I mean many, of these priests are using their so called power and authority to abuse us the weak links. Ireland have been sending priests to other countries. I just hope they don't have that shameful records back in Ireland.
The only way that these so called "church authorities" to feel the pinch is for the people to stop donations. Give only for specific purposes. The Church really, badly needs overhaul. As to qualities, the Bible states them clearly.

To the subject of TPC's article - As a member of the Catholic laity in Ireland, I wouldn't have a clue as to what qualities a priest should have for me to have a say in whether he should be a bishop or not these days. I have Nada info on that. I'm sure that goes for people of the Reformation Churches too if they were given that role in their churches for choosing a bishop. Me vote for someone to be a bishop? Nah, it stinks of politicising a religious vocation to serve Christ and risks communal nepotism. 'Time to Look at Ourselves', Tim Pat should have written about. We ordinary people are the body of the Church. No bishop in Ireland today seems to be able to lead us out of risks of losing our faith in the Irish Church; they're too busy saving themselves and their office. Like politicians who abuse the privilege of being elected by us plebs.

This is an informative but misdirected article by Tim Pat Coogan, previously published in the Irish Independent newspaper. I don't accept Coogan's assertion that symphysiotomy was a medical procedure surreptitiously encouraged by Archbishop McQuaid: it was medical procedure purely, dating from early days in medical history, long before caesarean operations were possible and centuries before Archbishop McQuaid's time. Facts show that 1 in 5 women (and they relatively very few of all pregnant women) who had the procedure suffered pain from it, not all as TP's article suggests. The point is that it was once a standard now outdated medical procedure for women in difficult birth situations. When it was introduced into surgery centuries ago, it was a surgical means of the time saving the lives of the baby and of the woman. Let's keep things in perspective Tim Pat... shall we? Stick with the story and avoid surreptitious insinuations as common in Media Misrepresentation. You're too old and experienced to be doing that now, it could slot you into tabloid press infamy in the twilight of an excellent career as a highly respected Irish journalist.

Beginning with an internship in the Policy department at AFTA, Hannah has also served as a research assistant in the Research and Development departments, working on projects from Briefing Books to blogging, the National Arts Index to the National Arts Policy Roundtable, Executive Assistant to the President and CEO, and now Research Coordinator. During this time, Hannah also worked at the Society for the Arts in Healthcare coordinating the office and helping to develop an inter-organizational National Initiative for Arts & Health in the Military. Previously, Hannah worked for the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in the Youth & Family Education department and the New Haven Museum, where she produced two full art tours of the museum for elementary and middle school students. Hannah also received a fellowship in 2010 to work for the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop in Washington, DC, where she helped kick off the 40th Anniversary year with an oral history project that has since received distinction from the DC Council on the Arts & Humanities.
Personally, Hannah has always had a strong connection with the arts through her love of the stage. She performed in musicals and plays from age seven through high school, serving on the Executive Board of each of her theatre groups, and developed into an a cappella singer in college. She sang with Out of the Blue of Yale University, along with Yale's all-senior, all-female group, Whim 'n Rhythm--going on to serve as business manager of both groups, and traveling around the world to sing. Hannah continues to sing post-college with Washington DC's young professional, co-ed group, Word of Mouth. In the rest of her spare time, Hannah works on the Capitol Hill Alphabet Animals Art Project, a public arts project in the Southeast Quadrant of DC (sponsored by the Capitol Hill Arts Workshop), along with fulfilling a great passion for the art of baking.
Hannah started her future arts career by copying the poses of Degas' dancers at age five, and went on to graduate from Yale University in 2011 with a BA in History of Art, earning honors in her major and a Cum Laude distinction. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to support, promote, and advocate for the arts in her role at Americans for the Arts.
