I went on Saturday and it was a BUNFIGHT!! :)
Luckily I was pretty much front of the queue at around 8am (doors opened at 10am) …
I came a way with a few bits and pieces
LS Winter Jersey
SS Rapha Club Jersey (very nice but its a promo piece effectively given as part of a club membership I believe in Polyester)
Black Cap
Black Kneewarmers (very happy with those)
White armwarmers (more on that later)
Essentials wallet (fantastic item)
3/4 Fixie shorts (beautiful, my second pair)
1 pair of Pro Socks (white)
The armwarmers I grabbed at as they had become detatched but only found out they are slightly differing sizes when I returned home, one may be a little too restrictive I fear .. (Ebay ???) ..Smile
Overall, the jerseys were fine so long as you were a SMALL or EXTRA SMALL Spaniard (Country Jersey) or if you wanted the Pink/Grey/White jersey …. I'm not and I didnt.
The Bibshorts all seemed to be XXL
There were no Gilets
(really wanted a new one as ruined my white one)
There were no rainjackets (no real surprise there)
There was tons of stock but I feel they really should have railed it all up and the BUNFIGHT could have been a lot more civilised and the stock easier to view.
The staff were great though, a nice bunch of lads who were happy to chat and keen to get everyone out riding on the Sunday … I had returned home by then though..
All in all, it was Ok ….. I'd just reiterate that perhaps railing all the "hangable" stock would make a lot more sense … IT WAS JUST BEDLAM and with the heat within the shop I had to get out after a while.
So, there you have it …

28th May 2012 11:46am
Thanks Paul,
Your feedback has been duly noted and we'll have a look at how to utilise the space and stock to be more effective and less of a 'bun-fight' in the future.
Thanks for visiting and it looks like you got some good kit!

28th May 2012 12:42pm
Hi Jack
No worries - not a criticism as such , moreso just an idea.
I felt that if it were to be railed (more work for you guys I appreciate)… it would be far easier for customers to search through and also far less likely to end up strewn all over the place, possibly becoming damaged.
Are there any of the Essentials wallets left over? The guys I ride with were all impressed with mine as we were using Sandwich bags before. I could happily take 4 or 5 is there are.
One other thought - There were peeps in the queue who had travelled from Glasgow!! Would it be wiser to do one further north, say Leeds or further north and move the Manny one to Birmingham? Birmingham is on my doorstep .. so slightly biased.
Jack Flanagan
29th May 2012 03:48pm
Hi Paul,
Unfortunately the Essential Cases are tucked away awaiting processing, so it will be difficult to obtain any more. They are destined for future sales (which will certainly be north of the Thames!) in the near future.
Your location suggestions will be looked into, although I've always liked Edinburgh!
Thanks again,

The Relationship Between Foreign Direct Investment And The Macro Economy
Date: December 2011
Creator: Kekec, Ibrahim
Description: In this thesis, I first investigate the relation between the aggregate unemployment rate and foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows and outflows. To study this relationship, I use a panel data set that contains 45 (developed and developing) countries observed from 1987 through 2008, and I employ Arellano and Bonds generalized methods of moments (ABGMM) estimation method for dynamic panel data. My results show that FDI inflows and outflows are not determinants of the aggregate unemployment rate. In addition, in line with macroeconomic theory, the previous level of aggregate unemployment has a positive impact on the current level of aggregate unemployment. Again, as macroeconomic theory suggests, my results show that per capita real gross domestic product (RGDP) has a negative effect on the current level of aggregate unemployment. Second, I study the long-run relationship between exports and per capita gross domestic product (instrumented by total population) using a panel data set of 51 countries from 1970 through 2008. To study this relationship, I employ the dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) estimation method. I find that the percentage of exports in nominal gross domestic products (GDP) is sensitive to changes in the populations of host countries and, hence, to the changes in ...

Determinants of Income and Income Differentials between Blacks and Whites in the South
Date: August 1972
Creator: Burnim, Mickey L.
Description: The problem with which this study is concerned is that of discrimination. Data from the United States Bureau of the Census is used to approach the problem through the concept of economic discrimination. This study has two purposes. First, it tests the hypothesis that blacks in the South have been subjected to significant economic discrimination, and, in turn, to give quantitative estimates of its magnitude if the hypothesis is accepted. The secondary purpose is to make a comparison of the relative importance of the independent variables for blacks and whites.

An Examination of the Feasibility of Measuring National Income from Monetary Data
Date: August 1972
Creator: Repass, William F.
Description: The purpose of the paper is to explore, more fully, one particular aspect of economic accounting, measurement of national income. Since data problems often inhibit attempts to measure national income by conventional methods, particularly in less developed regions, the paper focuses attention on alternative techniques of measurement with major emphasis on procedures employing monetary data.

The Multinational Corporation: a Tentative Appraisal

Theirs is a new way of organizing and controlling international business units and relatively little is known about the consequences for economics and politics.

Institutional Characteristics as Expressed in Selected Writings of Thomas Robert Malthus

Description: This investigation is concerned primarily with describing some characteristics of the institutionalist school of economic theory and then relating these characteristics to the writings of Thomas Robert Malthus. Thus in the course of this thesis two distinct sections are developed: one describing what are felt to be the outstanding characteristics of institutionalism and the second relating these characteristics directly to Malthus.

I was out yesterday and noticed a woman cutting the grass and thought to myself "Where the hell is her husband and why is he not out there cutting the grass?"
Then I stopped and wondered if I am having one of those old fashion thoughts.
Is grass cutting a man's chore or is it alright to let a woman cut the grass?
I don't let my wife cut the grass at all. One, I don't think it is a woman's job, two, she has asthma and allergies and it is not worth the suffing she will put us through afterwards, three, it gives me exercise and piece and quiet from the family. I can put my iPod on and be in my own little world.

How can you toggle between sneak and normal standing position? It's kind of annoying having to keep a button pressed while I try to build and move around to get a better view of what I am doing.
While you're holding Shift to sneak, press the Alt key once. This will return control to your mouse pointer, and when you click on the game window again, you will be permanently crouched until you press Shift again. This only works in windowed mode - there is currently no way to toggle crouch in fullscreen. Notch has, however, expressed interest in adding sneak toggle capability. | |||||||||||||||||
I wrote a mod that does Toggle Sneak and MUCH MUCH more, and I plan on keeping it up to date with MC versions. | |||||||||||||||||
Unfortunately, there's no built-in way to toggle sneaking in Minecraft. However, you could always tape down / weigh down your actual | |||
There is a program called AutoHotkey that can do stuff like this for windows. | |||||||||||||||||||||
If you are on a mac you can simply set the crouch command to the caps-lock key. unfortunately it doesn't seem to work for windows. | |||

Sexy party dresses for women may be cut low in the front or the back, show off the results of all those squats and lunges you've been doing lately, or simply hug you in all the right places while appearing quite modest compared to some of the other occasion dresses on the racks.
Playing up your best assets and being secure in the idea that the things you like least about your body are disguised will instantly give you confidence and boost your sex appeal. A sexy dress on the hanger may not look so hot on everyone, while a dress that appears plain as it hangs on the rack can transform into a curve-hugging knock-out of a dress. That means the first rule of shopping for a woman's party dress is to shop based on body type and the colors that look most flattering against your skin tone and hair color.
You may want to start out in your local mall to visit department stores so that if there's something you like, you can try it on right there. Since many women are underwhelmed when they see the selection of party dresses readily available in stores, turning to an online source is often the way to go. Also, if you're going to an event in your town and shopping options are relatively limited, shopping in the stores could increase your risk of showing up in the same dress as someone else.
Try on several styles to see which ones flatter you the most and play up your best features. Purchasing a dress based on how sexy it looks on the rack could be a big mistake, and skipping over simple dresses because they're "cute" and not sexy could be too. Keep your options open. If you're shopping online, think of other items in your closet that you enjoy wearing, the ones that make you feel like the hottest girl in the room. Choice are various available around you!

Bright colors… now what?
We've all agreed that it's all about bright colors in Malaysia (since it's Spring/Summer all year long) while the fashion season highlights the brown, gray and beige colors of Fall/Autumn.
Rumor has it that that some peeps are a bit vary of bright colors. Probably because we don't want to appear like clowns (or the Mad Hatter, but don't tell him we said that). Here is a style tip with the Forever 18 and Peachy Belt for you girls out there who have yet to cross the line into a brighter, colorful world!

Welcome to the Red Ride!
That's cold Greg. Seriously, was I supposed to get one?
Now you can join in the fun Jay...enjoy it!
Yes, be sure and take your wife and two babies out for some shooting sessions....a very good strategy for sure.
The manual is the PDF you download from the RED support page.
Congrats Jay. Looking forward to seeing some great footage. And looking forward to my 801 delivery sometime soon.
I just unpacked our first Red camera and it is sitting on my dining room table. I can't believe the day has finally come. My children only took 9 months each once we knew we were expecting. This feeling is much like having a new child. I am so excited I can hardly stand the fact I have to put the accesories on the camera before I can start shooting.
It could not have come at a better time. I have decided that my first shoot with this camera will be tomorrow at my seven year old sons play. He has a part in a school version of Snow White. So I will be there along with all the other parents using there mini DV and VHS cameras. I will be shooting in 4k Red. How cool is that? Maybe I should bring a dolly and a grip package as well...JK....:)
I really have to hand it to the Red team. They were always very helpful answering all my questions, and trust me I had a bunch.. So thanks to everyone at Red and espicially to: Jim, Ted, Brent, Sean, and Brian..
I look forward to a long relationship with Red and will be looking forward to all the future products that Red will be developing.
See you at the MOVIES.....
Hey Shane! Welcome!
Welcome home!!!!

Comments about Patagonia Capilene 1 Silkweight Stretch Long Underwear Bottoms - Women's:
I commute by bike and strive to find clothes that look "normal" and are functional on a bike. These leggings fit those qualifications perfectly. These look like normal leggings, but keep moisture/sweat to a minimum, keep sweat odor in check, and so far they've held up great in the wash. They are great under a dress or under jeans; the silky texture allows layers to float on top of the leggings without looking awkward or constantly having to be pulled into position.
The only beef I have with these is with the waistband; it rolls around and doesn't stay in one place for long. It's not so bad though, I've definitely seen worse!
This is my first experience with Patagonia clothes, and as long as these hold up a reasonable amount of time, I'll be buying their stuff for life.

Tuesday of the 2nd Week
The Gospel of Luke 5:12-16
At that time, Jesus was in one of the cities, there came a man full of leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and besought him, "Lord, if you will, you can make me clean." And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I will; be clean." And immediately the leprosy left him. And he charged him to tell no one; but "go and show yourself to the priest, and make an offering for your cleansing, as Moses commanded, for a proof to the people." But so much the more the report went abroad concerning him; and great multitudes gathered to hear and to be healed of their infirmities. But he withdrew to the wilderness and prayed.

Joe Christensen covered Major League Baseball for 15 years, including three seasons at the Baltimore Sun and eight at the Star Tribune, before switching to the college football beat. He's a Faribault, Minn., native who graduated from the University of Minnesota in 1996. He covered Jim Wacker's Gophers for the Minnesota Daily and also wrote about USC, UCLA and the Rose Bowl for the Riverside Press-Enterprise before getting this chance to cover football again.
Email Joe to talk about the Gophers.
Chanhassen offensive lineman Frank Ragnow confirmed today via text that he will be making his official visit with the Gophers this weekend.
Ragnow has offers from all over the country, including Florida State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, Missouri, Vanderbilt and Arkansas, and has been labeled as one of the most important targets on Minnesota's board.
With Ragnow and Minneapolis Washburn running back Jeff Jones both on official visits, this becomes a critical recruiting weekend for the Gophers.
Minneapolis Washburn senior running back Jeff Jones will be making his official visit to the University of Minnesota on Friday, and he'll arrive on the heels of some more good news.
Jones is one of four running backs who've been selected to play in the Under Armour All-American Game, Washburn coach Giovan Jenkins said, confirming a report by GopherIllustrated.com. That game is played in Tampa, Fla., on Jan. 2 , and televised by ESPN.
Jones rushed for 1,525 yards and 34 touchdowns this season, adding another eight touchdowns as a receiver. The four-star recruit gave a verbal commitment to the Gophers last February but has since said he's keeping his options open until National Signing Day on Feb. 5.
For now, Jones has no other official visits planned, Jenkins said.
"I think he really likes the U," Jenkins said. "The relationship he has with Coach [Jerry] Kill and Coach [Tracy] Claeys is second to none. No other staff has put in the kind of leg work they have."
The Gophers added another recruit to their commitment list Friday, in Jerry Gibson, a 6-4, 220-pound athlete from Theodore, Ala., according to the recruiting site GopherIllustrated.com.
Gibson could play wide receiver, tight end, running back or perhaps even defense in college. He is rated as a two-star recruit by Rivals.com, which lists Northern Illinois and Louisiana Tech among Gibson's other offers.
He is the 10th player in the 2014 class to give the Gophers a verbal commitment.
The Gophers landed a verbal commitment this weekend from Julien Kafo, a defensive end from Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, the Star Tribune has confirmed.
Rivals.com lists Kafo as a two-star recruit, who also has offers from Nebraska and Iowa. He is the Gophers' ninth commitment for the 2014 class.
Some quick notes from tonight's practice:
* Rodrick Williams (turf toe) and Derrick Wells (injured shoulder) both participated in Wednesday's practice. Acting head coach Tracy Claeys said their availability for Saturday's game will be determined later in the week.
* Offensive coordinator Matt Limegrover said the team won't pick a starting quarterback between Mitch Leidner and Philip Nelson until after Thursday's practice.
"The big thing is Mitch started the last two weeks, but Philip knew he was going to play, and Philip came in and took great advantage of the reps he got," Limegrover said. "So we may flip it, we may keep it exactly the same.
"I think everybody in the entire greater Twin Cities metropolitan area cares more about our starting quarterback than me and Coach [Jerry] Kill and [quarterbacks coach Jim Zerbrowski. We've got two good ones, and I think it's unfair to say we're going to go with one guy the whole way. We like them both."
* Kill was at practice and took questions from reporters again. He looked and sounded great. He plans to coach from the coaching booth again Saturday at Indiana.
"The bottom line is we've won back-to-back games, and I'm smart enough to know, let's not upset the apple cart," he said. "Let's keep doing what we're doing and we'll be fine.
"It's great for me because I get to be around kids more, and I'm doing a heck of a lot of recruiting. When I get done here, I've got about five or six calls tonight. Because that's the biggest thing; we've got to let the recruits know I'm alright.
"But that's been great. Through all the adversity, we're moving forward. And sometimes adversity determines what kind of person you are, and what kind of people you have. And we've got a long way to go, there's no question about that, but we're on the right track."

Cosima, because it's more feminine and dainty and I love "a" endings. But neither Mary nor Katherine work too well with it- the same hard consonant beginning as Katherine, repeated "ma" in CosiMA MAry. With Brigitte, I would do Brigitte Marie (sounds very French, in a good way)!
If you're trying to honour a Mary or Katherine, what about Cosima Wren (similar to ending of Katherine), Cosima Molly or Cosima Polly?~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3

MINEOLA, N.Y. (AP) - Two dozen passengers have joined a lawsuit in New York against JetBlue Airways stemming from a pilot's rant during a Las Vegas-bound flight.
They're now among 34 passengers who claim they feared for their lives when a pilot had to be restrained in the cabin while ranting wildly during the flight. The March flight was diverted and safely landed in Amarillo, Texas.
An amended lawsuit was filed Thursday in federal court in Brooklyn.
It claims JetBlue was "grossly negligent" in allowing Capt. Clayton Osbon to fly.
Osbon was charged with interference with a flight crew, but he was found not guilty by reason of insanity in July.
A JetBlue spokeswoman said after the initial lawsuit was filed that the airline does not comment on pending litigation.

Yuan's Monarchist Venture
The political risk engendered by the broad application of terror might have proved worth taking if it had resulted in centralized bureaucratic efficiency capable of fulfilling national aspirations. Instead, as Ernest Young has shown, the achievements of Yuan's dictatorship fell far short of its promises.[139] Domestically, financial retrenchment may have restored some degree of fiscal responsibility, but only at the cost of higher taxes and the stagnation of reform programs. In foreign affairs, the centralization of administrative power had little effect on Yuan's ability to resist imperialist pressure. Indeed, in mid 1915 Yuan was forced to accept almost all the points of a Japanese ultimatum, known as the "Twenty-one Demands," for new economic and political concessions. In the midst of these troubling de-
velopments, Yuan took the controversial step of replacing his presidential chair with a monarch's throne. Yuan's decision to make himself emperor has often been explained in terms of his own personal ambition. While ambition, or perhaps hubris, was no doubt an influential factor, Young has shown how Yuan's monarchist venture also reflected his determination to pursue his original political objectives in the face of mounting problems. "Unwilling fully to face his own failures of leadership and blind to the fundamental flaws in his strategy of bureaucratic centralization, Yuan opted for monarchy as an accommodation to popular psychology and as a means of gaining public order and greater power for the central government," Young observes.[140]
The main justification advanced for Yuan's assumption of imperial status was that it would strengthen the authority, and hence the effectiveness, of the central government. In theory, the government would draw new strength from the symbolic power the monarchy still held for China's inarticulate masses. Paradoxically, while Yuan cloaked his ascension to the throne as a response to the will of the masses, the method chosen to express this will was organized elite support. The monarchist movement was initiated in mid August 1915 with the formation of the Peace Planning Society (Chou'anhui) by six leading gentry figures. The society was purportedly organized to discuss the comparative advantages of different political systems. All provinces were called upon to send representatives to Beijing to join in this discussion. It soon became apparent, though, that the real purpose of the society was to prepare the way for the restoration of the monarchy with Yuan as emperor. Once Yuan's true intentions became known, provincial administrations threw themselves into the task of providing the expressions of support required to justify this objective.
The orchestration of monarchist plans in the provinces revealed how effectively Yuan's control was exerted on and through the provincial administrations. As soon as Yuan's desires became clear, provincial instruments of terror were turned against any opposition to Yuan's imperial goal. In Hunan, newspapers opposing the monarchy were suppressed, letters and telegrams were searched for criticism of the proposed change of government, and martial law was imposed to tighten precautions against any possible disorder.[141] As a result of the political tension caused by the news of the Peace Planning Society's activities, martial law was also declared in Hubei. The targets of this precaution were not, of course, the society's supporters, but its opponents. Special police searches were ordered to find and destroy litera-
ture opposing the society on the grounds that these materials contributed to disorder.[142] In Wuhan, casual criticism of monarchist plans was sufficient reason for arrest by omnipresent detectives. An anomalous situation thus arose: it had become subversive under the Republic, not to speak out in favor of a monarchy, but to talk about preserving the Republic.[143]
Complementing the suppression of opposition to the monarchy in the provinces was the organization of "popular will" in its support. Documents published after Yuan's fall proved the extent to which the provincial response, including wires of support from provincial officials in the name of influential gentry and merchants, was coordinated in detail by Yuan's supporters in Beijing.[144] An account of the engineering of the monarchist movement in Hunan is given in the memoirs of a member of Tang Xiangming's staff, Tu Zhuju. Tu and some forty other specially selected bureaucrats were ensconced in a well-provisioned office behind the military governor's yamen as a secret center for the organization of Hunan's pro-monarchy movement. Generous funding (estimated by Tu at a million yuan) was provided by the Peace Planning Society in Beijing, and no expense was spared. The office received exact instructions from Beijing on the measures to be taken to show a crescendo of support for Yuan's ascension to the throne, including the fabrication of "popular will." This office, then, not only organized but actually became the main source of monarchist support in Hunan.[145]
The culmination of the monarchist movement in the provinces was the calling of "citizens' conventions" for the ostensible purpose of making recommendations on the political system most suited to China's needs. In fact, the conventions, held in Hunan on October 28 and in Hubei on November 1, were ceremonial functions, where assembled gentry electors were simply asked to deny or affirm their preference for the monarchical system. Electors marked their ballots in the presence of "supervisors" and provincial officials, leaving little doubt as to the outcome. In Hunan and Hubei, as in other provinces, the conventions voted unanimously for the establishment of a monarchy, and with equal unanimity petitioned Yuan to ascend the throne as emperor.[146]
The carefully constructed outpouring of elite approval for the monarchy was a hollow exercise. Almost all independent accounts of the monarchist movement in Hunan and Hubei reveal a general lack of enthusiasm that, if not leading to open opposition, expressed itself in widespread apathy. Various reports noted that public opinion in Wuhan retained its republican sympathies and was generally cold to
the idea of a revival of the monarchy. The Peace Planning Society failed to gain a real foothold in Hubei, and the only active support for the monarchy reportedly came from officials. In both Hunan and Hubei, Chambers of Commerce and other merchant organizations were viewed as being pressured against their will to participate in Peace Planning Society discussions.[147] The U.S. consul in Changsha noted widespread opposition or indifference to the change in government reflected in the reluctance of many qualified voters to participate in the citizens' conventions. A missionary in Xiangtan noted that the city "did its duty in supporting the change of Government, but as one Chinese said, 'That is what they were instructed from Peking [Beijing] to do, so what else could be done?' As another said, 'There is none in China who want Yuan as Emperor.'" Reports cited from other cities expressed a similar lack of enthusiasm for the monarchist cause.[148]
Naturally, when Yuan ascended the throne, suppression of the monarchy's opponents intensified. A Western missionary in Hubei in early 1916 reported:
At present a lot of extra spies have been put on to arrest any person who says a word against the present change of government. A good many have been arrested for saying very little, now everybody has got frightened [sic ] so no one dares to say anything, as spies seem to be everywhere, and even those who are not spies are paid for any information given, so many seek to earn a little extra in this way.[149]
Eventually, to forestall even the slightest potential for political criticism, a ban was issued in both Hunan and Hubei on any discussion of national affairs (guoshi ).[150] Thus, to ensure expression only of support for his ascension to the throne, Yuan attempted to reverse the whole process of participatory nationalism that had politicized China's elite since the late Qing period. In the end, political participation in the monarchist movement, with the exception of a few sincere proponents, was less a reflection of genuine support than a tribute to the bureaucratic efficiency and coercive powers of local and provincial administration under Yuan's control.
Muted beneath the fanfare of officially engineered popular support for the monarchical system, though, there remained a more substantial elite concern for the continued preservation of order. This concern appeared as a recurring theme in the political turmoil of the early Republic. Elite assessment of the best means to maintain order had played an important role in the consensus behind the 1911 Revolution, in the compromise that made Yuan president, and in the failure of the
Second Revolution. A belief in Yuan's ability to keep order appears to have provided some support for his rule even as disillusionment over his policies increased. In late 1914, for example, the U.S. consul at Hankou recorded a consensus in missionary reports from throughout the central Yangzi area that "in many quarters a general dislike and distrust for Yuan Shih Kai [sic ] is noted, although everywhere there seems to be a great respect for his ability to maintain peace and order."[151]
Ultimately the preservation of order, not the pros and cons of the monarchical system, would remain the overriding concern of a significant section of the population. According to one report, "the people of Wuhan have really not had any kind of reaction to the issue of the nation's political system. However, in most hearts there is a hope for peace."[152] Even strong anti-monarchical feelings were often reported as being tempered by a broad popular desire for peace and order.[153] For some, this desire would outweigh their opposition to Yuan's imperial plans. For example, the opposition of many Hankou merchants to an armed struggle against the monarchist movement was interpreted as revealing the priority they placed on peace over their republican preferences.[154] For others, however, Yuan bore the onus of provoking disorder through his bid for the throne. Early in the monarchist movement, one courageous member of the Hubei elite attempted to organize a group of Wuhan gentry and merchants to protest pro-monarchy telegrams issued by the Hubei government in their names. Appealing to Yuan to ban the Peace Planning Society, this group placed the blame for creating instability and inciting revolutionary opposition directly at the feet of the monarchist movement.[155] Once armed resistance to the monarchy finally broke out, many more saw the key to the preservation of order not in the continuation of Yuan's rule but in his removal.
In the end, Yuan's attempted restoration of the monarchy had an effect opposite to its intent. The flawed assumption behind the monarchist movement was that the imperial symbols of the past, combined eclectically with the formalities of elite elections, could provide a new and stronger basis for central authority. Unfortunately for Yuan, the traditional appeal of the imperial throne had already lost much of its potency, and sham elections alienated rather than consolidated elite support. Indeed, by provoking a new round of political instability, Yuan's attempt to make himself emperor undermined the foundation of order that had provided the strongest reason for elite acquiescence to his rule. The result of the monarchist venture, then, was to weaken,
not strengthen, both Yuan's personal authority and the legitimacy of the central regime he had attempted to create.

Dąbrowska, Maria
Dąbrowska, Maria 1889–1965
Dąbrowska, a short story writer, novelist, critic, journalist, and playwright, was one of Poland's greatest contemporary writers. Noce i dnie, a family chronicle composed of four novels, established her fame as a writer concerned with the preservation of human dignity in the midst of the changing social structure of pre-Revolutionary Poland. Her political involvement and experience as a social worker are frequently reflected in her thematic material. Essentially a realist employing traditional narrative techniques, Dąbrowska describes everyday lives, yet develops her narrative to achieve an epic scale.
Manfred Kridl
[When Noce i dnie (Nights and Days) first appeared, the] public (and probably some critics as well) already were a little weary of [recent] experiments in novelistic structure. Accordingly it was with relief and joy that they greeted a book the essential trait of which was simplicity—simplicity in all its component elements: structure, language, characters and the type of life portrayed. With regard to the structure Dąbrowska reverted to an old novel form, which might be called that of a chronicle. Like a chronicle, such a novel 'begins at the beginning' with the genealogy of the characters; the narration of events then follows in chronological order and continues for a longer or shorter period of time; it could, for that matter, continue indefinitely, presenting the history of one, two, three or more generations. Such method brings the structure of the novel closer to the normal course of human life and endows it with the charm of 'authenticity.' The latter trait becomes even more pronounced because of the kind of the characters, the method of their treatment and the langauge of the novel. The characters are simple and average. In addition to the two leading heroes there appears a crowd of secondary persons, frequently without any essential necessity, especially in the latter volumes of the novel. This also corresponds to 'the way things are in life.' The author's narrative is also of the simplest kind; it flows slowly, in a broad...

Z. Folejewski
When Maria Dąbrowska entered the literary scene in Poland with her first short stories, "We Francji" ("In France"), "Janek" ("The Little John"), etc., she was under the influence of the Polish literary tradition, but she was soon to absorb impulses from such important literary sources as Scandinavia, England, and Germany (less observable are French contemporary influences). Polish literature at the time was mainly the continuation of West-European Realism with some admixture of Romantic dreams on the one hand, and on the other, of utilitarian ideas of literature as an instrument for bringing about social and political changes…. [From] an early stage Dąbrowska succeeded in avoiding epigonism and in striking new, fresh, and independent notes in her stories based on authentic observations and a true human and artistic outlook.
Dąbrowska's rapidly widening literary horizons were due to her interest and studies, and later professional and social work in Belgium, England, Scandinavia, and other countries. One of the more important early literary encounters which left a deep trace in Dąbrowska's work was her contact with the work of the Danish writer, Jens Peter Jacobsen, whose novel Niels Lyhne she translated into Polish and preceded with a penetrating introduction which reveals some aspect of her own artistic credo. Especially characteristic is her remark on what she believes constitutes one of the most essential elements of...

Maria Kuncewicz
[Maria Dąbrowska was] a major writer and a moral force in her nation under several vastly different political régimes.
Never an habituée of literary cafés, all through her life she remained a provincial in the same noble sense that Flaubert had been a provincial in France and Faulkner in the United States—an uninhibited artist contributing to universal values, not as a cosmopolitan, only as a supremely civilized voice coming from a backwater. That salt-of-the-earth quality of her work was never belied by the public attitudes of the frail looking woman; in an age of political promiscuity and moral indifference she grew into a monolithic figure respected by both friends and foes. (p. 3)
[Dąbrowska's] mind was pragmatic, liberal, objective. Doctrines did not mean much to her…. [Political] and economic theory, she maintained [in an article on Russian socialism], is good if it increases human well-being; well-being must never be limited to a party, or to one class of people. The social background in her artistic prose is therefore not massive; it is broken up into a multitude of patches, like that world of the French pointillistes, who never painted in long strokes of brush so as to obtain a smooth surface, and, instead saturated the picture with brilliantly colored dots. (pp. 3-4)
In fiction her approach to life remained realistic, although contemplative. In one of her public confessions,...

Zbigniew Folejewski
[Maria Dabrowska's] collection People from Yonder can be treated as a highly realistic presentation of the farm laborer's world. This by itself was a novel and important phenomenon in the history of Polish literature which, being traditionally a literature of the gentry, had rather neglected the life of the lower social classes. (p. 23)
Dabrowska, like Turgenev in Russia, took up the theme of landless peasants mainly as an artistic motif, and not as a purely social problem. But as in Turgenev's case, Dabrowska's volume was often discussed as a work of political nature, and some critics discussed its merits and demerits in this light. Considering Dabrowska's involvement in professional and social organizations with some political affiliations, this confusion of Dabrowska the agitator and Dabrowska the writer is not surprising. (p. 24)
However, the publication of People from Yonder made it obvious that the author did not resort to fiction in order to propagate political slogans, but to express her deep interest in the lives of the people she had observed closely during her childhood in Russow. There was an element of true epic in this attempt to capture a certain form of life at the moment when it was already disappearing. (p. 25)
It was said that the volume People from Yonder made the young author famous, and decided her entire career. Indeed, she became an acknowledged writer...

text: Has anyone purchased or seen a good demo of the new JVC 48"RPTV? It has DVI inputs and only displays a native resolution of 1080i. I am soon going to purchase a HDTV in this size range, The 2 local retailers that have this have a poor display that makes this and competitors from Panasonic, Mitsubishi,and Toshiba all look not worth buying. My concern is that by scaling all inputs to 1080i, it would require the scaler to be of a higher quality than so far is available, in order for 480p from DVD to be as good as a native 480p display. I have not seen any reviews yet for this, but it seems like a good candidate if the scaler is of good enough quality. I had been leaning towards the Mitsubishi WT-46809 because of their upgrade promise. Thank you, Bob Poling

It is a good idea to insulate one's cellar to bring the energy costs down and to create an extra living space. Un-insulated, the warm air located above soil level mingles with the cooler air below ground level and causes moisture to collect in the wood framing and insulation. The result is a growth of spores which causes rot as well as unhealthy air. There are several basement insulation methods available and the home owner should learn what the best option is for their home.
Some basements are not very appealing to visit. Patience is needed to go downstairs and note the pluses and minuses of the situation.Choosing to go down when the climate outdoors is comfortable will make the lower level more inviting to explore.
There are three types of basement insulation. Rigid foam, polyurethane spray and blanket are the main choices. Not every cellar is suitable for all these insulating walls so one must first make an assessment of their cellar to decide which system is best. Once the homework is done the home owner can decide if they want to do the project themselves or contract it out.
Experience has shown that when a basement is insulated it does not take very long to recuperate the investment. The energy savings are significant throughout the house.
If the walls are straight then the best system is the rigid foam with the highest RSI value. It also requires the least amount of space. The exterior walls will have two inches of foam attached to them and the floor will only require one inch. Each piece fits together closely and a special adhesive glue is used to attach the panels onto the surfaces. The seams between the panels must be taped and sprayed with foam. Nailing strips provide an alternative solution to the gluing system. Studs are attached to the foam and a moisture resistant 12.7 millimeters of drywall is added to the studs.
There are two ways to build the new wall. It can be built flush using 2×4 inch lumber or it can be extended from the original wall by two inches. This creates an additional ventilation space that reduces moisture.
Spray foam is the best solution for irregular walls. It is also recommended for walls with moisture issues. The product must be applied by a certified specialist. The foam must be distributed evenly and covered by a layer of fire-resistant material. The foam tends to expand so it must be sprayed in moderation.

Benoit Paire is not without talent or power, but he found out quickly on Rod Laver Arena that it takes more than just a few moving parts to take down the great Roger Federer.
In a master class performance, the Swiss dismantled the Frenchman 6-2 6-4 6-1 in just one hour and 23 minutes to move into the second round.
The improved Paire was said by some to have enough in his arsenal to make the four-time Australian Open champion uncomfortable, but he never came close to seriously troubling Federer.
After a rapid-fire first set in which he overwhelmed the 23-year-old with his serve, his whizzing forehand and impressive movement, Federer was able to use the contest as an extended practice session.
He chipped and charged on occasion, mixed spins and speeds with his one-handed backhand and was willing to take big cuts with his clicking forehand from all over the court
Federer won the second set with a huge serve and clean forehand winner, followed by another service bomb and heavy topspin backhand that Paire couldn't handle.
With the crowd urging him on through almost every point, he cracked nine winners to win the third set, including five for five on net charges, much to the delight of his coach, Paul Annacone, an old net rusher himself
Federer grabbed the contest when he chipped and charged with an unusual forehand slice, forcing an error off his opponent's racket.
"When you're in the lead, you feel better, you feel less pressure, you try a few things to see if those works and then you have options up your sleeve," Federer said.
"I'm obviously very happy with this first-round match, so total control. He can be a tricky opponent, but I guess his playing style doesn't disturb me that much overall. I'm happy I was able to play a clean match out there today."
He completed the match with 25 winners.
Paire said he couldn't read Federer at all, which came as no surprise to the Swiss, who has competed against players of all sizes and stripes and of all levels.
"I guess the advantage for us as top players is that we do play against top players more often than they do, so we're used to maybe bigger serves all around, better movement, more unpredictable stuff, which they don't get the opportunity obviously to play against," Federer said.
"So that's I think an advantage for us."
The 31-year-old Swiss is trying to become only the second man to win five Australian titles. The other player to do so, Aussie Roy Emerson, holds the record with six crowns.
