David Keith Movies
A graduate of the University of Tennessee,
David Keith
made his first significant theatrical appearance in Chicago. Keith was to star in the 1979 sitcom Co-Ed Fever, but it was pulled from the CBS lineup after one episode. Luckily, his more enduring movie career also began in 1979 with a small role in The Rose. Keith quickly became a specialist in portraying all-American boy roles who were cursed with a fatal character flaw or two, as witnessed in
An Officer and a Gentleman
(1982). Keith's performance as a suicidal officer-in-training earned him two Golden Globe nominations. Retaining his military buzz-cut from
, Keith had his first above-the-title starring role in 1983's
The Lords of Discipline
. And with an uncharacteristic full head of hair, Keith played Elvis in the 1990 fantasy
Heartbreak Hotel
, performing the King's songs himself. An able director, Keith has thus far helmed two films: The Curse (1985) and
Further Adventures of Tennessee Buck
(1987). One of Keith's more unorthodox recent screen appearances was as a foot-tall toy figure who comes to life in 1995's
The Indian in the Cupboard
. Keith occasionally appears in made-for-television movies such as Guts & Glory: The Oliver Story in which he played the title role, and in miniseries like
James Michener's Texas
. Over the next several years, Keith would remain a consistent force on screen, most notably appearing in movies like Daredevil, Raise Your Voice, and Come Away Home. He would also memorably star on TV series like The Class. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The ensemble included Heather Goldenhersh as incurable romantic Lina Warbler; Lizzy Caplan) as Lina's sarcastic but goodhearted twin sister Kat; Jon Bernthal as former class clown Duncan Carmello, now a professional musician but still living in the basement of his mother Tina's (Julie Halston) house; Jesse Tyler Ferguson as self-effacing ex-"geek" Richie Velch; Sean Maguire as every girl's "dream date" Kyle Lendo, who in adulthood had come out of the closet and was living with another man; Lucy Punch) as class "brain"-turned-news anchor Holly Ellenbogan, who had never gotten over being jilted by Kyle at the high school prom and was now wed to the gormless Perry Pearl (Sam Harris); and Andrea Anders) as Tina Carmello, the most popular girl in the third grade, who had once been in love with Duncan but had since become trapped in a dull marriage with ex-NFL star turned commercial spokesman Yonk Allen (David Keith).

One of Marvel Comics' most popular characters comes to the screen for the first time in this sci-fi action-thriller. Matthew Murdock (Ben Affleck) is a lawyer whose father, a prizefighter, was killed by gangsters when Murdock was just a boy. Since then, Murdock has devoted his life to bringing wrongdoers to justice and is willing to help others by taking on cases no other attorney will touch. Murdock is also blind, after being struck down by a truck while trying to save a man from being hit. What no one knows is that Murdock was also doused with an unusual radioactive isotope which had a strange effect on him -- while Murdock's sight may be gone, his other senses have been raised to such a keen pitch that they act like radar, allowing him to tell where he's going and what happens around him, both near and far away. Murdock puts his gifts to use at night as the costumed crime-fighter Daredevil, whose pursuit of justice has earned him the wrath of underworld leader Kingpin (Michael Clarke Duncan). Kingpin wants Daredevil out of his way once and for all, and hires Bullseye (Colin Farrell), a super-assassin with an uncanny ability to throw blades, to do the job. Daredevil also makes the acquaintance of Elektra Natchios (Jennifer Garner), a woman with super-heroic talents who is also on Kingpin's bad side, though it remains to be seen if she has aligned herself with the forces of good as Daredevil has done. Jon Favreau, Joe Pantoliano, and David Keith highlight Daredevil's supporting cast. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Add Carrie to Queue

This made-for-TV remake of the classic movie chiller Carrie is slightly more faithful to the original Stephen King novel--and slightly less profane and violent. Following in the bloody footsteps of Sissy Spacek, Angela Bettis stars as woebegone high school girl Carrie White, whose shy and awkward demeanor obscures the fact that she is "gifted" with awesome telekinetic powers. As part of a cruel and vicious student prank, Carrie's better-looking and more socially savvy classmates arrange for the hapless heroine to be elected prom queen--and one does not have to have seen the original film to know the terror that is unleashed once Carrie is crowned (in more ways than one). The climax is infinitely more "high tech" than in the 1976 film, but whether it is equally as frightening is a matter of taste; additionally, the 2002 version boasts a radically different ending, one that could very well accommodate a sequel or two...or three... Patricia Clarkson reprises the old Piper Laurie role as Carrie's abusive religious-fanatic mother. Carrie first aired November 4, 2002, on NBC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

A television commercial for a Sega game system that aired during the 1999 MTV Music Video Awards landed debut director John Moore a gig behind the camera of this military action thriller. Owen Wilson stars as Lt. Chris Burnett, a naval aviator aboard the U.S.S. Carl Vinson who's frustrated with the strict "hands-off" political policies that prevent him from experiencing combat against hostile Bosnian forces in his F/A-18 Superhornet jet. Burnett's commander, Admiral Reigert (Gene Hackman), thinks that the brash pilot doesn't have what it takes to be in the millitary, but the eager young officer soon gets the chance to prove his mettle. While conducting a routine photographic reconnaissance over a remote area of the Balkans, Burnett captures grisly images that serve as proof of genocidal crimes, but his plane is blown out of the sky. He's soon pursued on the ground by the forces of Lokar (Olek Krupa), a Serbian paramilitary leader intent on covering up unthinkable crimes, while Reigert defies the NATO orders of his superior (Joaquim de Almeida) and risks his career to mount a covert rescue mission. Behind Enemy Lines (2001), the first of two back-to-back releases starring Wilson and Hackman (the other being The Royal Tenenbaums), also stars David Keith, Gabriel Macht, and Charles Malik Whitfield. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

A would-be movie mogul has to decide just how low he's willing to sink to get his next picture made in this black comedy about life in Hollywood. Jake Seiling (John Savage) is a filmmaker who wants to adapt a recent novel by author Arthur Kranson (William Atherton) for the screen, convinced it has major box-office potential. However, the book in question has already been optioned by veteran filmmaker Sy (Orson Bean). When Sy dies unexpectedly, Jake is convinced that his chance has arrived, and he's able to persuade a French producer (René Auberjonois) to put up seed money for the project. It doesn't take long, though, for Jake to go through the producer's initial stake, and as he struggles to raise more money to put the film before the cameras, Jake's business partner Arnie (James Wilder) comes up with what he's certain is the perfect plan -- burn down Jake's house, and use the insurance money to finance the movie. Based on the play High Tension in the Tropics by Michael Cole Dinelli, Burning Down the House was shot in 1998, but went unreleased until 2004. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Boys will be boys, and that's not always a good thing, as this dark drama with comic overtones reveals. Matt (Keith Carradine) and Harley (David Keith) were best friends in high school, but since then their lives have followed a very different course. Matt drifts from job to job, swilling beer and making trouble wherever he lands, while Harley is a building designer with a nice home and an attractive wife, Fox (Janet Gunn), who wants to have a baby, though Harley isn't so certain he wants to be a parent. One day, Matt walks off his job at an Alaskan oilfield and heads to California, appearing on Harley's doorstep; Harley has neither the heart nor the desire to turn Matt away, and soon Matt is giving Harley a new taste of the bachelor lifestyle as they head out drinking, carousing, and chasing women from dusk till dawn. But Fox soon becomes wary of the way Matt is bringing out the less wholesome side of Harley's personality, while Harley notices Matt's behavior is advancing past good-natured rowdiness into something more sinister. Matt's fondness for fast sex with prostitutes and his sudden friendship with a gangster (Jan Triska) leads Matt down a dangerous road that proves to have disastrous consequences for the two friends. Cahoots was the first feature film for writer and director Dirk Benedict, who is best known for his career as a television actor, having starred in the TV series Battlestar Galactica and The A-Team. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

This military drama is based on the true story of Carl Brashear, who was the first African-American to serve as a diver in the United States Navy. Brashear (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.) was born to a poor farming family in the deep South, and joined the Navy in hopes of bettering himself. When Brashear applies for diving school, he first encounters Master Chief Billy Sunday (Robert De Niro), a gruff and tyrannical diving instructor who holds absolute sway over his charges. Sunday does little at first to encourage Brashear's ambitions, and the would-be diver discovers racism in the military is an ugly fact of life when his white comrades refuse to share barracks with him. But Brashear's courage and determination make an impression on Sunday, and the two men become allies as Brashear must fight prejudice, military bureaucracy, and even a crippling injury in order to realize his dreams.

PostgreSQL Maestro User's Comments
I am really quite impressed with the software. You and your people are doing a wonderful job. I actually have spent a while researching PostgreSQL admin/code generators and yours seems to fit our needs nicely. Your interface is beautiful.
Andrew Maclean ARC Centre of Excellence for Autonomous Systems
I am evaluating your PostgreSQL Maestro product for purchase by my company and thus far I am very impressed! I really like the easy, intuitive and productive user interface and feature set. I am also evaluating a number of other products for PostgreSQL database design and maintenence but thus far SQLMaestro stands head and shoulders above the rest.
Daryl Joubert
Someone finally invented an intuitively used and easily customized PostgreSQL database administration tool! Keep up the good work. I will be in touch. I am able to do this horrendous work because your software enabled me to create a new database with all necessary objects in several minutes! I am sure that I have found what I really need.
Simon Pills
Also I must say, that your PostgreSQL Maestro tool is the best tool for PostgreSQL I have seen. For general I am really happy about the tool and how it works.
Armin Braunstein
I tried 3 different programs before yours and none would be so handy and helpful. PostgreSQL Maestro works great and couldn't be easier to install.
Chris Passion
Thank you for a wonderful product, and all the hard work you've obviously taken.
Patric Michael
Your program is the best. I have only few hours but now I make very great data for my meeting.

There is a lot of software out there for managing PostgreSQL. Yours is simply the best! Great product.

This lovely chandelier has become the centerpiece of my dining room makeover. As others have said, this looks more expensive than it is. Love all the sparkly crystals and the drum shade with black circles. Am picking up the circle theme in the rest of the room. This combined contemporary and traditional in just te right way.
I purchased the similar light with the chains 2 years ago for my last home. I now purcahsed this one as I loved the light so much in my master bedroom. It is beautiful and a great focal point!
I was worried about purchasing this after reading some negative reviews, but I'm so glad I did. I absolutely LOVE this light! It's exactly what I needed for a center light in my 10x11 kitchen. I wanted a statement piece that would be easy enough to clean and provide me with a ton of light while I'm working in the kitchen, but also something that could be dimmed later on. This was PERFECT! Assembly was quick and easy, and my husband had it installed within 20 minutes. I'm very happy with Overstock and with my purchase.
This is a nice chandelier. We have this at the entrance of our home. However, the flush mount really makes this chandelier look odd. We first wanted to use this in the dining table but the flush mount just made it look odd since it was so high up in the ceiling. They really should make this more of a hanging chandelier. So we moved it to the front of the house where it looks ok but it still looks like it's just too high up in the ceiling.
Looked nicer on the website than in person. Rather "tacky" design. It's going back.

So-called bridge-jumper bettors appeared home free when 2-5 favorite Paige's Prize rolled to a 12 1/2-length victory Feb. 25 in the first race on the card at Beulah Park, but moments later their anticipated small profits would vanish.
In the hours that followed, the stewards' decision to disqualify Paige's Prize was nearly universally panned by handicappers on social media sites—even players who said they benefited from the call. Some of those players suggested racing association stewards faced a conflict of interest because of a potential negative show pool if Paige's Prize had won.

Jim,There is nothing fundamentally wrong with your dough formulation but you are not likely to get a crust with much color and taste with only a 45 minute-one hour rise. However, you should have been getting a good rise because of all of the yeast and relatively high hydration (a lot of water). Did you preheat the stone and, if so, for how long? Usually, you want to preheat a pizza stone for about an hour at around 500 degrees F. Using a bake temperature of 400 degrees F is likely to extend the bake time (usually to the point where you get decent crust coloration) and result in a dryer, chewy, more cracker-like crust. Did you roll out the dough with a rolling pin? If so, that would account for the lack of a defined rim and possibly the flatness of the crust. Rolling a dough with a rolling pin forces the gas out of the dough. If such a deflated dough hits a 400 degree F stone, you are not going to get good oven spring. You indicate that you have been hydrating your ADY for about 5 minutes. The recommended hydration period for ADY is about 10 minutes.You didn't say but did you use a machine to knead the dough or did you use hand kneading?Your recipe is what is often referred to as an "emergency" dough recipe because of the high amount of yeast and the very short fermentation time. If you reduce the amount of yeast and use a longer fermentation time, say, 6-8 hours, you should get a dough that will translate to a finished crust with better color, flavor and texture. It should also handle better and not need a rolling pin to roll it out. The amount of yeast to use will be largely dictated by the room temperature in your kitchen. The warmer the kitchen, the less yeast you will need, and vice versa. An alternative solution is to use a dough that is cold fermented in the refrigerator for about a day or more. Good luck.Peter

Antec VSK3000 Micro ATX Case |
The VSK3000 is built with SGCC steel ensuring durability for your next build...and the one after that. Furthermore, the VSK3000 meets Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) 2.0 guidelines and is also equipped with two USB 2.0 ports, Audio In/Out, five drive bays and four expansion slots. |
Designed to last for multiple builds, the VSK3000E is constructed with durable, galvanized steel to ensure reliability while its Thermally Advantaged Chassis (TAC) 2.0 compliant panel with Chassis Air Guide allows air to flow directly in the path of the CPU fan and heat sink. The VSK3000E supports up to microATX motherboards, yet is large enough to accommodate a 12.5" graphics card. In addition, the stylish black front panel is equipped with two USB 2.0 ports, Audio In/Out jacks and other computing essentials. If you're looking for a simple, reliable case that won't break the bank, the VSK3000E fits the bill. Features:
Filter Results |
Cheap case, not one of Antec's best thoughPros: Cheap price and looks nice. Cons: Little room to work with which is expected with this case. No speaker cable for the front panel that goes to the motherboard. I realize many motherboards have built-in speaker. This was my first time not having this connector. Other Thoughts: I managed to break off one of the SATA connectors from the mobo because of the lack of space in the case, that is my fault though. Did you find this review helpful? |
Antec NEW SOLUTION SERIES VSK-3000Pros: Nice finish,does what it's meant to do,inexpensive. Cons: Flimsy side panels which makes them difficult to align when putting on. Once on they are hard to remove as there is nowhere to grip them. Cheap domed head screws stripped the treads after only a few removals. Power button occasionally sticks when pushed. Other Thoughts: Bought this to replace wife's outdated case when upgraded her motherboard. Will not buy another. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Inexpensive, looks good from far, accommodates decent sized graphics card, came with a fan, holds the components for my media center PC in an organized and shapely manner i.e. a computer case Cons: Flimsy, power/reset button center is cheesy, flat-out refused to change my oil when I asked it to buuut, it holds a mean motherboard. Other Thoughts: It's good just do it already Did you find this review helpful? |
Impressed with qualityPros: We regularly order many cases in the $30 range for low to mid-range builds. The metal feels solid, the power button feels solid, much more so than most cases at this price point. Cons: No USB 3.0 Other Thoughts: If you need something basic for office/client builds, here you go. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pretty nice if you don't have high expectationsPros: Slick- This thing has a very clean look to it on the outside. Got your front USB and sound/mic ports and your Antec logo on the front. Cons: Cheap made case- As others have said, this is a flimsy feeling case but for 30 bucks, what do you really expect? Other Thoughts: After everything was put in it seems pretty sturdy. Just right for a resurrection system out of some old parts. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awful casePros: It says Antec on the front. Comes with a fan. Cons: I ordered two of these and both were identical in their problems. This case is just awful. Incredibly flimsy steel. Screws that hold on the side panels came pre stripped. Those were fun to remove. SSD mount is bent. Power button is flimsy and looks to be partially broken already. Poor hardware assortment. Other Thoughts: For the money, go with the Rosewill mini tower case. It pains me to say that, but it's the truth.(In this case higher quality, better hardware, 2 fans) Sorry Antec but you've got one heck of a dud with this one. You should be ashamed to put your name on it. I feel especially sorry for anyone who ordered it at regular price. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
What Do You ExpectPros: Arrived undamaged, front ports work, everything I put in it fits well, nice finish. Cons: None - it's a low priced case that gets the job done. Other Thoughts: Who complains about a $20 case with free shipping? Did you find this review helpful? |
Not the normal Antec QualityPros: Inexpensive. Antec name. Used Antec exclusively in the past for all system builds and never any real issues with them. Cons: The quality of this case is not the normal quality you would expect from Antec, but given it was very inexpensive you shouldn't expect much. The motherboard standoffs just strip right through the case and keep turning and turning while you are trying to screw a motherboard down. I had to get pliers from the other side of the case to hold the standoffs from turning while turning the screws from the other side of the case. It was a nightmare. Been putting computers together for 20+ years and this is one of the worst cases I've experienced. Other Thoughts: I wouldn't waste my $20 on this case again. I actually threw it into the garbage and purchased a better case. It wasn't worth the box it came in. Horrible job Antec. I hope this isn't the start of something bad. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Not bad for the pricePros: Extremely inexpensive. I got it for $20 and at that price it is great. Nice smooth aesthetic. Cons: Very thin metal. Not that bad considering the price and all. But the edges are very sharp. There is a tiny spot for an SSD under the drive cages and the clips on the back are pointed. Don't know why they weren't flat. Caught a knuckle on one. Odd sized fans, 92mm, and only one included as an exhaust. Other Thoughts: All in all, I'd get it again for the same price for low-end builds. It really is attractive. And the cons are fine for $20. At anything higher than that I'd consider another case. But I still give it a recommendation. Did you find this review helpful? |
Looks fine to mePros: Price Cons: Yes, there are some sharp edges. Be careful. Other Thoughts: It is small but so is my motherboard. Did you find this review helpful? |

Historical Context
The English climate during the neoclassical period was one of false appearances in both political and the public domains. Part of the masquerade involved a monarchy that was publicly sensitive yet privately ambivalent concerning many issues. There was also a nouveau riche middle-class who were more interested in gentrifying themselves with clothing and mannerisms than acknowledging the political conflicts swirling about them.
The history of the monarchy was fuel enough for a great deal of criticism on the part of the neoclassicists, and rightfully so. The hopes of the public were high for a leader who could promise relief from the religious and political struggles that plagued England. It is not surprising that a crowd gathered to cheer Charles II as he landed on the shores of Dover in May of 1660. Many felt that Charles's coronation in 1661 would signify an end to the civil and political unrest. However, he would prove to be a man of contradictions.
Charles II, at least on the surface, gave England much to hope for. Publicly, he professed a love of parliaments and expressed a hope for an independent Church of England. Privately, however, he often postponed parliaments, pushed for toleration of Catholics, and even converted to Catholicism on his deathbed. Similarly, James, Charles's brother and successor, initially pledged support of the Anglicans by promising to honor the national church and to end religious uniformity. Soon, however, he...

Literary Style
Allegory An allegory is a narrative technique in which symbolic characters or actions are used to convey a message or teach a lesson. Typically used to teach moral, ethical, or religious ideals, it is also used for political purposes. In the case of the neoclassicists, the latter was often the case, often in conjunction with satire.
Swift's criticism of English politics was so harsh that he felt it necessary to publish his work Gulliver's Travels anonymously. On the surface, the work is mere fiction, but on a deeper level it is an account of the bitter political struggles between the two major political parties of the early eighteenth century, the Tories and the Whigs.
Johnson lampoons those intimate with the British political scene in his depiction of certain characters. For example, the Lilliputian emperor is characterized as being tyrannical and corrupt and is also easily recognized as George I, King of England (from 1714 to 1727). The Lilliputian Empress stands for Queen Anne, who, offended by Swift's earlier satires, chose to prevent his advancement in the Church of England. The two parties in Lilliput, the Low-Heels and the High-Heels, represent the Tories and the Whigs.
This term describes works of literature that aim to teach some moral, religious, political, or practical lesson. The term usually refers to literature in which the message is more important than the form. The aims of many of...

Movement Variations
The neoclassical period was framed by specific historical events. Scholars generally agree that the movement began with the return of the Stuarts to the English throne in 1660 and ended with the publication of "Lyric Ballads" by William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1798. The period itself includes the Restoration Age (1660–1700), the Augustan Age, (1700–1750), and the Age of Johnson (1750–1798).
The Restoration Age (1660–1700)
England underwent a transformation at the outset of the Restoration, in strong reaction against Puritanism. The period was marked by a resurgence of scientific thought as well as investigation. It is at this point, with the infusion of French influences, that Neoclassicism begins to develop.
During the Restoration Age, the Heroic couplet, a rhyming couplet written in iambic pentameter (a verse with five iambic feet), was the major verse form. The poetry itself was typically didactic or satirical in nature—the work's main aim was either to instruct some moral, religious, political, or practical lesson or to ridicule and attack some aspect of contemporary life. The ode was also a widely used form. An ode is a lengthy, lyrical, rhyming poem addressing or praising some object, person, or quality in a lofty, noble style.
Prose took on a more "modern" style, as represented by Bunyan, Dryden, and Milton, principal writers of the age. Milton's Paradise Lost and...

Compare and Contrast
1600s–1700s: Oliver Cromwell's protectorate is overthrown, and after two decades in which England was without a sovereign, Charles II is crowned king.
Today: Tony Blair is the prime minister of England, and Queen Elizabeth II is the symbolic head of state under a parliamentary democracy.
1600s–1700s: The most celebrated eighteenth century periodical, The Spectator, is founded by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele.
Today: The advent of the internet revolution connects millions of households with a seemingly limitless number of newspapers, magazines, and periodicals at the click of a mouse.
1600s–1700s: The rise of the English theater changes social patterns as English citizens from all classes begin to attend theatrical performances.
Today: The advent of the DVD and the development of home entertainment systems begin to change the patterns of many moviegoers, who, instead of visiting the theater, opt to stay home.
1600–1700s: With the restoration of the English theater comes an intermingling of the social classes, and fashion becomes the focus as middle- and upper-middle class patrons of the stage imitate the monarchy in style and dress.
Today: Overnight pop music sensations like Britney Spears set fashion standards for contemporary teens.

Topics for Further Study
The neoclassicists often used references to ancient cultures to give their works added meaning. Investigate some of the materials behind these references and explain their significance in the works of the neoclassical writers.
English politics was the major target for satirists Swift, Dryden, Pope, and others. Satire was often viewed as a dangerous political weapon, resulting in censorship or the arrest of many satirical writers. Investigate the influence of satire on the press during the neoclassical period in response to political events of the time.
The Age of Johnson represented a profound shift in the neoclassical genre that would ultimately result in the advent of Romanticism. What were the factors that caused such a shift as well as the end of the neoclassical era?

Representative Works
Of Dramatick Poesie: An Essay
Of Dramatick Poesie: An Essay (1668) represented John Dryden's challenges to the trends of English theater in the seventeenth century and is considered one of his best prose works. The significance of the piece lies within the argument it presents concerning the development of the English theater and would prove to be a driving influence.
In Of Dramatick Poesie: An Essay, four speakers, namely Crites, Eugenius, Lisideius, and Neander, drift down the Thames River as the English and Dutch wage a naval battle. Dryden presents his views in dialogue form. The use of several characters allowed Dryden to present the various aspects of his argument from a multitude of perspectives without specifically endorsing a given opinion. The author offers clear positions on the issues discussed, i.e., on the merits of English theater versus that of the French and on other dramatic conventions, including his defense of drama written in verse. Dryden had an affinity for this mode of argument, being characteristic of much of his work, as it allowed him to offer consideration for various positions in an effort to support his own.
The characters in the essay are engaged in a discussion of classical conventions, as they are used by the French, and the value of the unities in English theater. The unities were strict rules of dramatic structure formulated by Italian and French writers during the Renaissance...

What Do I Read Next?
Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe (1993), by Merry E. Weisner, represents the author's research of women from 1500 to 1750. The author focuses on women's roles in relation to general historical developments and the effects of such developments on women. Her work is characterized by her approach to study as a sort of "digging into women's private and domestic experiences." There is consideration not only of the physical experiences of women—those of menstruation, pregnancy, and motherhood—but of the ways in which women attempted to carve out meaningful lives for themselves based on such experiences. The work also compares female gender roles with those roles imposed on males, to produce some very interesting insights and observations.
Oliver Cromwell and the English Revolution (1990), edited by John Morrill, is a discussion of Oliver Cromwell's life, both personal and political. Although he died at the dawn of the neoclassical age, he was one of the best-known, as well as one of the most controversial, figures in English history and would shape political discourse well into the neoclassical age. Cromwell has been celebrated as a champion of both religious and civil liberties and for his role in the defeat of Stuart tyranny. The book describes the phases of his career as citizen, soldier, and lord protector.

Christian County Public School System officials are planning a district wide 3rd grade multiplication bee this week.
School officials say 36 students from nine different schools will be participating in thisThursday's competition and had to be one of the top three students in their class and school.
According to officials this is the first multiplication bee for the school district.
The event will be held Thursday at Holiday Elementary School and will begin at 6:30 p.m.
There have been more filings for Hopkinsville City Council seats.
The only non-incumbent to file so far is Republican Jason McCraw, who is challenging for the Ward 5 seat currently held by Democrat Charlie Henderson.
Ward 7 and 8 Democrats Peggy Everett and Marby Schlegel filed at the courthouse, as has Ward 9 incumbent Patricia Bell. Ward 2 councilperson Kimberly McCarley has also file for re-election.
Candidates run exclusively in their wards for the primary election, but run a citywide race if they make it to the general election.
Liquor stores in Christian County outside of the city limits will soon be able to stay open an additional hour.
Christian Fiscal Court passed an ordinance giving those establishments until 1am to stay open five nights a week. The vote was six to two, with Magistrates Mark Cansler and Terry Bowman voting "no."
Magistrate Terry Bowman has said he would rather see their hours reduced than expanded, while Squire Cansler says he was happy with the hours already allowed to liquor stores.
Squire Tom Jones says he voted in favor of the measure, because he feels it gives liquor stores in the county an even playing field with ones in the city.
Joey Allen, who owns a liquor store in Gracey, has been the only person to come to Fiscal Court meetings in support of the ordinance.
In other action, Court gave authority to apply for federal grants to purchase emergency equipment for the Christian County Weather Spotters and Sheriff's Office.
They also approved a $34,550 bid by Gilliiand Construction to do roof work on the courthouse.
A woman accused of embezzling nearly $4,000 from her employer has been arrested by Hopkinsville Police.
Charged with Theft by Unlawful Taking is 41-year old Felicia Radford of Hopkinsville, who allegedly used the credit card of her employer—Perfect Loving Care Childcare—to make $3,934 in unauthorized transactions for personal items.
An arrest warrant says the card was meant to be used for food purchases.

The gansey
"Oh the ganseys- well, we changed to the ganseys when my wife went down and copied the pattern and knit one"
Oh the ganseys- well, we changed to the ganseys when my wife went down and copied the pattern and knit one. There were several members in the brigade when I first joined that had ganseys, a lot of the old crowd, the old brigade members- mainly retired members, and when I got my own gansey knit by my wife- brilliant, yes. Good to work in, one of these where you can lift your arms up the jumper and drag up on top. And following that my own daughter knit a gansey using the same pattern for her husband, our son in law, and from there many brigade members have them. I think theres probably about 30 of these ganseys around, by, knitted by their wives and grandmothers and anybody that they could get to do it, and they wear it with great pride. The time when you see most of them on show is at the annual concert that we have in December each year where everyone wears their ganseys and medals and they all stand around telling each other how good they are.

By Nancy McCleary and Ali Rockett Staff writers
CLINTON - Authorities say it's too early to link a string of burglaries that occurred in Sampson County over the weekend, but all targeted Hispanic seasonal workers.
A 4-year-old boy remains in critical condition after he was shot during the first of the burglaries reported about 10:30 p.m. Friday, Sampson County Sheriff Jimmy Thornton said Monday.
"He's hanging on," Thornton said of the boy, whose name had not been released.
A gunman, according to the sheriff's office, forced his way into a mobile home on Plantation Lane and tried to get inside the locked bedroom where the boy and his parents were sleeping. Unable to open the door, the gunman opened fire, striking the child in the head.
The boy's parents initially drove him to Sampson Regional Medical Center, where he was airlifted to another hospital.
A family friend, Lucano Cruz, who lived in the home with the boy's family and his own wife and child, said the child is recovering from surgery and doing well.
Authorities were responding to the Plantation Lane incident when they received a call of a second burglary on the 2200 block of Turkey Highway, west of Clinton.
The 911 caller said three men wearing hooded shirts broke into the home and took a large-screen television, authorities said.
On Saturday, two more robberies were reported, Thornton said.
One occurred about 7 p.m. at a mobile home on Wildfire Lane, north of Clinton.
A man, woman and 4-year-old child had just returned home from grocery shopping, Thornton said. The mother and child went into the home, while the father remained behind to carry in the groceries.
A dark, possibly black SUV pulled to the end of the road and turned around, Thornton said. A man wielding a gun exited the vehicle and held the gun to the father's head, demanding money.
"Somehow or other, he convinced him he had no money," Thornton said. "So they left."
A few minutes later, another man riding a bicycle along Turkey Highway reported being robbed at gunpoint by a man riding in a dark green SUV.
Thornton said the individual was just outside of his home and had just come back from shopping.
No other injuries were reported in the three robberies.
Sheriff's Capt. Eric Pope said it is too early in the investigation to say whether the victims were targeted because of their race or whether the motive was solely robbery.
"A majority of these cases involve agricultural workers who are known for not putting their money in banks and pooling their money together, which automatically sets them up as a target for anyone who may wish to rob them," Pope said.
Residents in the Plantation Lane mobile home park said Monday they are scared.
Three woman told The Fayetteville Observer there had been at least three break-ins in the neighbor this year.
"Every year, when the people come, the robberies start," one woman said.
The neighborhood predominately houses migrant workers, including Cruz and the boy's family.
"We work here in North Carolina for six months and in Florida for three months," Cruz said.
Cruz said the families had been living in the trailer, which is at the far end of the mobile home park, for about six years without incident.
"We don't feel safe anymore," said Lisa Chavez Lopez, a neighbor, "and even less at night."
Cruz was packing the families' belongings Monday and preparing to leave for Florida.
"All they (the boy's family) were trying to do was make a living," Thornton said. "Their plans were to return to Florida today. Instead, they're in the hospital with their child, not knowing if that child is going to make it or not."
Thornton said the Latino population is often hesitant to report crimes in the community, especially if they are undocumented or for fear of retaliation.
"We can't help or do anything if we're not (given) information," Thornton said.
He pleaded that anyone with information contact the sheriff's office at 910-592-4141 or an anonymous tip line at 910-564-5261.
Thornton said the sheriff's office is offering a $5,000 reward to anyone with information that leads to an arrest.
"People talk," Thornton said. "I'm confident that someone in our community will hear information, and hopefully, with the monies that will be made available will aid us and assist us in trying to bring about an arrest."

The M4 Adaptive Rail Carbine AEG has great range despite its compact size, shooting accurately over 100 feet! The M4 Adaptive Rail Carbine AEG can easily pick off the opposition at long distances, keeping you out of the opposition's range!The M4 Adaptive Rail Carbine features a fully adjustable 6 position tactical LE stock, making this AEG more maneuverable and well adapted for close quarters combat. This M4 Adaptive Rail Carbine AEG can also easily hold its own in an outdoor environment. With a precision inner barrel and fully adjustable hop-up, it can easily hit targets beyond 100 feet! The M4 Adaptive Rail Carbine AEG features a high-quality impact-resistant polymer upper and lower receiver, a unique Adaptive Rail handguard rail system, a full metal outer barrel, and metal front and rear flip-up iron sights.

If you are looking for a lightweight CQB AEG, but can't afford the top tier price tag this is definitely the AEG for you!Features:- Impact resistant polymer body for maximum durability- High performance metal gearbox and high speed motor- 300rd high capacity magazine included- Full Rail system for optics and accessories- High performance AEG rifle, shooting at 340-390 FPS!- Extremely durable- Ready to go out of the box!Specifications:Operation: Electric AutomaticBuild: Polymer Upper & Lower Receiver, Full Metal Barrel and Buffer TubeFiring Modes: Semi-automatic; Fully AutomaticMuzzle Velocity: 340-390 FPS (w/ 0.20g BBs)Magazine Capacity: 300rd High Capacity magazineGearbox: Full Metal Version 2 GearboxBattery Type: 8.4V NiMh MiniCaliber: 6mm Airsoft BBRate of Fire: 13+ RPS (Rounds per Second w/ 8.4v Battery)Outer Barrel Length: 14.5" in.Inner Barrel Length: 363 mmInner Barrel Diameter: 6.05 mmWeight: 5.5 poundsOverall Length: 29.5" in / 33" in.

Smart chargers not only shorten charge time significantly (up to 800% faster charging), but more importantly,also automatically shut off once the battery is fully charged to avoid overcharged batteries.
"This is a great gun i just got it today and it shoots great right out of the box. Most people would think that its a cqb gun but it actually works great in an outdoor field. It comes with a metal tip to replace the plastic one but the plastic one is a pain to get off so i just broke it in half. Pros: Greatly Balanced, Lots of rail space, good fire rate, and feels good in your hands Cons: Would get heavy after a while Grade: Beginners-Intermediate Upgrade Potential: Immense Rate: 5 star"
"This gun is amazing. It shoots far, it's nice and heavy, and has a great feel. Plus, it looks BOSS with my attachments on it. Only two problems: 1) They give you a replacement metal flash-hider, but the plastic one that's on the gun when you get it is a bitch to get off. Like two hours of work, but it was worth it. 2) The magazine that the gun comes with is . . . well . . . crap. It only feeds about half the ammo before you have to wind it again (good thing I'm getting more mags anyway). All in all, it's a great gun and is totally worth the money."
"This was my first AEG way back in the day and i still own it... Ive since upgraded but i must say that this is still a go to gun for me. It takes upgrades well and its amazing right out of the box anyways. This gun is made for beginners and built to last until you arent a beginner anymore. I recommend this gun to all new airsofters looking to get serious without robbing a bank. Amazing gun!"
"Worth every penny. Good feel, and easy battery install (not like most M4 models). Pretty heavy for a non-metal gun (plus for me)."
"Just amazing i got this gun today and cut a beer bottle in half the weight its great and the gun feels sturdy im looking forward to using it in a Battle cuz i know i will win because this gun is so good its a must buy for all beginners and all above its that good"
".......dose it look good and work.............................................."
"I've had this gun for quite some time (about 2 years) and I have to say it is a great beginner gun. Over time there had been some problems with the gun, but that was from some abuse in the field and natural wear-and-tear. I'm currently upgrading the internals including a new gear box, pistons, a tight bore barrel, as well as the pistol grip and stock. I have put a damn fine red/green dot on and the gun works great in both cqb and field. With the price, you can't go wrong with this gun. Pros: -rails -fps -weight (not too heavy, not too light) -decent rof Cons: -wears down somewhat easily over time -both the stock and pistol grip have some wobble"
"What type of battery could i use thats better then the one it comes with?"
"this gun is great. mine shoots at 400.2 fps without any modifications to the gun. a majority of the gun is metal except the stock, hand grip, and the front bottom hand guard"
"I honestly love this gun! It has a nice rate of fire and it is HEAVY! 8.5 pounds, the same weight as the training rifle that the marines use. I had mine for about a month and then the tabs at rhe rear of the upper reciver broke... I'm not really shure how that happened, so I got confused... Airsoftmegastore is working on replacing it now though. Thanks Airsoftmegastore! One final thing, it is pretty front heavy..."
"looked, felt, and shot great until the air nozzle broke which I thought was no biggie cus they're pretty easy to replace. Ordered a g&g combat machine replacement air nozzle and opened up the gear box to replace the broken nozzle, only to find that it wouldn't fit. I then proceeded to change out the piston head so the nozzle would fit, then found that somehow the nozzle no longer made contact with the hop up unit, which is made unique for this gun. I replaced the hop up unit with a new one which still didn't fix it so I gave up and bought a g&g combat machine m4 raider which i should have done in the first place. the A&K is a good gun as long as nothing goes wrong"
"the fps said its 390 but its only 340... the flash hider broke off the the mag is kinda wobble but what ever i can deal with it"
"Seriously guys, JG makes the better M4. Not only is the quality of JG better, it has an M4 with the MOSFET chip available (kinda expensive tho.)"
"Hey whats up with raising the price? I've been saving up to get it and I was 20 dollars away and then you went and raised the price!!???!"

The stool is made of solid wood with birch legs and a poplar top. Since its launch a few years ago, UM Project's Milking Stool has become an instant classic and has been manufactured in many colors."
