Dear kind souls of the Tumblr-universe, Might I trouble you for a recommendation or five regarding some decent books I should be reading?
I recently read Just Kids by Patti Smith, The Year of Magical Thinking by Joan Didion, and The Rise of Enlightened Sexism by Susan Douglas.
First and foremost, I'm in the mood for a good novel. Secondly, I would like to keep my eye out for the following: a solid memoir, a frivolous beach read, and possibly a classic "Summer Reading List" book I never actually read in high school (or one that is at least worth a revisit) to indulge this summer.
Classic to contemporary, rich to ridiculous - you name it, I'll read it. Request and I'll review! I'm sure that gives you zero incentive, but I'll take my chances. The cave in which I have tossed possibly interesting book titles (that I rarely remember to actually purchase) and what my mother has used as a Christmas list with my name on it for years now is my Alibris Wishlist (of Rich and Ridiculous Literature) (or Trashcan Organization: The Kate Borbas Story).
Give me some titles! Stat!

2003 Acura NSX -- Powertrain
The standard engine on the NSX is an all-aluminum, 90-degree, 3.2-liter (3,179 cc), dual overhead cam, 4 valve-per-cylinder V-6 that produces 290 hp at 7,100 rpm and 224 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm. It is mated to a 6-speed close-ratio manual transmission. Redline for this engine is 8,000 rpm.
The only factory option for the NSX is an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transmission that comes with an all-aluminum, 90-degree, 3.0-liter (2,977 cc), dual overhead cam, 4 valve-per-cylinder V-6 with a top output of 252 hp at 6,600 rpm and 210 lb-ft of torque at 5,300 rpm. Redline for this engine is 7,500 rpm.
An exclusive, electronically controlled Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTECTM) system optimizes volumetric efficiency at both low and high engine RPM. A unique Variable Volume Induction System changes the configuration of the intake system in conjunction with varying engine speeds, working with the VTEC system to broaden the torque curve and increase peak power output.
To achieve both light weight and durability, the engine block is made of aluminum alloy. While cast iron cylinder liners are used on the 3.0-liter engine, the cylinders of the 3.2-liter V-6 are made using an advanced metallurgical technique called Fiber Reinforced Metal (FRM), in which an ultra lightweight alumina-carbon fiber is cast into the traditional aluminum alloy for enhanced rigidity. This process allows displacement to be increased without increasing bore centers while providing outstanding cooling characteristics.
The 3.2-liter engine has cylinder bore surfaces consisting of a 0.5 mm-thick layer with fibers of carbon and alumina (aluminum oxide, or Al2O3) in the aluminum alloy. In production, the cylinder block's aluminum alloy is poured around cylinder cores composed of these two fibers. The cores absorb the molten aluminum during casting. After casting, the cylinders are bored to a slightly smaller diameter than the outside diameter of the cores, leaving a tough, wear-resistant, composite cylinder wall integral with the block but reinforced by the fibers. The process allows larger bores within the same external block dimensions and bore spacing, and makes open-deck block construction possible. This is appropriate for the 3.2-liter NSX engine's higher performance level. The elimination of iron cylinder liners allows a weight reduction of 5.3 lbs. for the larger displacement engine.
Because aluminum-on-aluminum is not an ideal combination for durability with a piston sliding in a cylinder, the 3.2-liter aluminum pistons are given an iron coating. The piston crown has been reshaped to improve heat resistance, and the pin diameter enlarged to cope with the higher power output. Conventional aluminum pistons are used in the 3.0-liter engine with iron liners.
The crankshaft of the NSX engine is a forged unit made of a special high-strength steel to cope with the high power output of both engines.
The low-pressure cast aluminum cylinder heads maximize flow into the combustion chambers in the 3.2-liter engine, where 36 mm intake valves are used. Even though the valve diameter is 1 mm larger than in the 3.0-liter engine, a unique cup shape is incorporated into the valve head to allow it to maintain the same weight. To further increase air flow, a special four-angle valve-seat machining process is used to create a gentle radius leading from the intake port into the combustion chamber - a process typically reserved for racing applications. The head gasket of the 3.2-liter V-6 is made of stainless steel to ensure a positive seal with the FRM cylinders. The combustion chamber for both engines is a pent-roof design with generous squish area to promote swirl and enhance combustion efficiency. The spark plug is centrally located for optimum flame propagation and features a platinum tip for improved durability and longer service life.
The connecting rods are made of a specially patented titanium alloy. While titanium rods are common in Formula One and other race engines, the NSX features the first application of titanium rods in a production car. Compared to a steel connecting rod for the same engine, these titanium rods each weigh 190 g less and are significantly stronger. To cope with the increase in power relative to the 3.0-liter engine, the 3.2-liter engine's piston pin diameter was increased by 1 mm (from 22 mm to 23 mm), while the crankshaft pin diameter was increased by 2 mm (from 53 mm to 55 mm).
To accommodate the larger crankpin diameter, the connecting rod bolts were moved 1 mm farther apart and incorporate a new, high-strength design. The rod bolts used are actually stronger, yet 1 mm smaller in diameter and 20 percent lighter than those previously installed.
Without question, the Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) system is recognized as a breakthrough in engine technology. It convincingly solves the age-old trade-off between low-end torque and high-end power.
VTEC utilizes a unique camshaft and rocker arm system in which, for each cylinder's set of two intake (or exhaust) valves, there are three rocker arms and three corresponding lobes on the camshaft. The two outboard lobes each have a profile suited for low- to mid-rpm operation. The third or center cam lobe has a dramatically different profile designed for longer duration and higher lift. This lobe profile is designed to optimize breathing and horsepower production at high engine speeds. At low engine rpm, the outboard lobes operate the valves. Above 5,800 rpm, the VTEC computer sends a signal to a spool valve, which in turn delivers engine oil pressure to small pistons in the rocker arms. Oil pressure causes the pistons to move, locking all three rocker arms together. Once locked, the rocker arms are forced to follow the center cam lobe, increasing top-end performance. The crossover from low lift to high lift occurs in 0.1 seconds and is virtually undetectable to the driver.
In addition to VTEC, the NSX engine also uses a Variable Volume Induction System. This system uses a separate intake air plenum, located beneath the main intake manifold. This second plenum is separated from the primary manifold by 6 butterfly valves, which open between 4,600 and 4,900 rpm and are activated by manifold vacuum.
When the valves open, the added volume of the secondary plenum creates a higher resonance frequency, which in turn creates a sonic pressure wave. This sonic pressure wave arrives at each pair of intake valves just as they open, promoting more rapid and complete cylinder filling. This system was designed to work in concert with VTEC to improve both low-end torque and high-rpm power.
Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) ensures that each cylinder receives the precise amount of fuel necessary at any given time and with varying load and speed conditions. This system has been specially tailored to the unique capabilities of the induction and VTEC systems. An air-assist mechanism aids fuel atomization for better combustion at low temperatures.
The NSX features a lightweight, highly efficient exhaust system. On the 3.2-liter V-6, the exhaust manifold employs stainless steel header pipes rather than a cast-iron manifold for improved performance and lighter weight. Increased flow from this configuration is a key contributor to the 290 horsepower produced by this engine.
The catalytic converters are mounted close to the engine for quick converter light-off and a consequent reduction in emissions without any sacrifice in power output. The overall weight of the exhaust system has also been minimized by using spherical joints rather than conventional flexible tubes.
To ensure a hot, stable spark at high rpm operation, the ignition system has a coil mounted atop each spark plug, a design similar to that used in Formula One racing engines.
A compact, close-ratio 6-speed manual transmission is designed to provide short shift throws and quick, precise response. Dual-cone synchronizers are used on first through fourth gears to reduce shift load from 40 to 50 percent for quicker, smoother shifting. Reverse gear is also equipped with synchromesh to ensure smooth shifting. To maximize performance while maintaining excellent fuel economy, all ratios were carefully selected to provide optimum acceleration and effortless cruising. A reverse lock-out solenoid ensures proper gear selection when shifting into sixth gear. The transmission is also designed for outstanding durability in the high-performance application.
The NSX clutch system utilizes a dual-mass flywheel to handle the high torque and power output of the 3.2-liter V-6. The design involves a split flywheel that incorporates a grease-lubricated wide-angle torsion mechanism. Clutch performance is maximized by high-performance friction material on the low-inertia mass clutch disc. The location of the torsion mechanism on the flywheel side helps retain a light clutch feel.
The optional Sequential SportShift 4-speed automatic transmission gives the driver the option of letting the transmission shift automatically in the conventional manner or selecting forward gears manually by means of a fingertip-control shift lever on the steering column. Inspired by Formula One race cars, this dual-mode system was created to give the driver the convenience of an automatic and the sporting performance feel of a manual.
The shift display (PRNDM21) is depicted on the tachometer. Sequential SportShift mode is engaged by selecting the M, or manual, position. In M mode, the shift position is illuminated in a window to the right of the shift display. To shift up, the fingertip control lever is moved up, and to shift down, the lever is moved downward. Unlike some systems, the NSX allows the driver to keep both hands on the wheel while selecting a gear. The CPU (central processing unit) is programmed to prevent any downshift that would cause the engine to over-rev.
Precise automatic transmission shift programming has resulted in minimal shift shock when downshifting during deceleration.
The automatic is also equipped with a programmed lockup torque converter to improve fuel economy and reduce slippage. In the Sequential SportShift manual mode, lockup is available in second, third and fourth gear during both acceleration and deceleration.
On NSX models equipped with the 6-speed manual transmission, a torque-reactive, limited slip differential minimizes wheel-spin of the inside tire when accelerating through a corner. This unit uses a multiplate clutch and helical-type planetary gears. When traveling in a straight line, the amount of slip between the rear wheels is controlled by the force of a preset spring-loaded disc imparting a force on the multiplate clutch. In a tight corner, however, the force of the spring-loaded disc is overridden by the thrust force of the helical-type planetary gears, thus enhancing stability by preventing the inside wheel from spinning.
On NSX models equipped with the 4-speed automatic transmission, a torque control differential employs a multiplate clutch and planetary gear set to help maintain vehicle stability at speed in crosswinds and when driving over split-friction surface conditions. The unit reacts to the difference in rotational speed between the rear wheels and helps to maintain the same rate of rotation for both wheels.
If the NSX should be forced off the intended direction in a crosswind, the differential will detect the rotational difference between the two rear wheels and transfer torque to the slower rotating wheel. This has the effect of directing the car back into the desired path.
The goal of the Traction Control System (TCS) is to minimize rear wheel-spin on slippery or uneven roads. This unique development was created as a high-performance system rather than purely a low-speed, traction-enhancing device. The TCS uses the wheel-speed sensors of the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and a g-sensor to detect differences in rotational speed between front and rear wheels and lateral acceleration. If the computer determines the surface is slippery, the Central Processing Unit (CPU) decreases the amount of air and/or fuel delivered to the engine. Using ABS wheel-speed sensors and working in conjunction with the drive-by-wire throttle system, the TCS engages at the moment of impending wheel-slip rather than when slippage actually occurs. A logic circuit also controls stability during sudden deceleration on slippery surfaces. On automatic transmission-equipped models, the system also reduces shift shock during downshifts in the SportShift position. The driver can disengage the TCS via a switch on the instrument panel.
The drive-by-wire throttle system replaces a conventional throttle cable arrangement with an all-electronic system that senses the throttle pedal position and relays that information to a computer. The computer then performs the actual throttle activation instantaneously. The system works by means of a throttle pedal sensor, a throttle angle sensor, an electronic control unit and a step motor to control throttle opening and provide fail-safe throttle operation. It works in harmony with the TCS to provide a broad range of control. This system also helps to enhance the precision of the cruise control system.

Spring bloom update from Wildflower CenterWritten by Matt Joyce | Published April 9, 2013
Texas wildflowers are so delicately beautiful that it's no surprise their annual blooms are subject to the whims of spring weather.
'Don't mess with Texas' gets makeover for new generationWritten by Matt Joyce | Published April 2, 2013
It's hard to believe it's been 27 years since musicians like Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Fabulous Thunderbirds started showing up on TV and radio with songs to discourage littering as part of the Don't mess with Texas campaign.
The campaign was a big success and grew into a household slogan in Texas, and even beyond. But at the same time, the state's population has grown (at a pace of 1,000 people per day currently), and a younger generation of Texans doesn't necessarily relate the slogan with its anti-littering message.

Go outdoors!Written by Lori Moffatt | Published March 15, 2013
The Vernal Equinox and the first official day of spring—March 20—is so close we can taste it. Well, FEEL it (in the sun's warm rays on our skin), SEE it (in the leaves budding out on even the pecans, which somehow know when the chance of frost has passed), and SMELL it (in the fragrance of all those flowers). It's tough to be inside in weather this glorious. So get on out there. We just received word that the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's "Texas Outdoor Family" program, which kicked off a few years ago to encourage people to enjoy the great outdoors, has expanded this year to include themed weekends organized around such topics as learning to mountain bike. On March 23-24, at Stephen F. Austin State Park, groups of up to six participants ($65 for all!) can learn basic camping skills (such as how to pitch a tent, build a campfire, and go geocaching) along with mountain biking safety, etiquette, and rules of the (off)road. Amazingly, most equipment—including tents, handheld GPS untis, cookware, lanterns, and bikes—are provided. You're on your own for food, clothing, and sleeping bag.

Growing up in Texas and learning about how this state became a nation for a time, I always wondered why people didn't make a bigger deal out of Texas Independence Day. It seems like a great time to celebrate what's great about Texas, doesn't it?
This year is an excellent chance to do just that, since the March 2 anniversary of the adoption of a declaration of independence falls on Saturday. Celebrations in Granbury, Gruene and Washington-on-the-Brazos offer a fun way to mark this historic occasion and show your Texas pride.
Love is in the air, even for historic courthousesWritten by Matt Joyce | Published February 13, 2013
In an era of social media crushes and online dating, preservation groups are seizing on the romantic month of February to spread the love for a completely different kind of treasure: historic county courthouses.
Paddling Caddo: New trails guide canoes, kayaks on swampy lakeWritten by Matt Joyce | Published February 5, 2013
Exploring new territory by canoe or kayak is different than other modes of travel. There's a serenity to gliding quietly through the water, less likely to startle wildlife. And the perspective is unique, lower than hiking trails or roads.

"Lady Jae willingly accommodated our specific change requests to our wedding invites at the last minute with a positive attitude! We love the quality of the invitations and have received many compliments on the beautiful design. Another amazing touch was that we received a personalized, hand-written thank you card in the mail after the invitations were delivered. I couldn't believe that they took the time to do that and ensure that we were completely satisfied with our purchase. We are!"
"Extremely happy with the service. They specifically put you with one artist to custom design your order and are able to get ahold of easily so that you are not going from person to person. I sent them a picture of the bridesmaids dresses for colour and they matched the invitations perfectly. I honestly believe these are the nicest wedding invitations I have yet to see. Overwhelmed with appreciation for the effort put into these cards. Thank you Wedding Paper Divas. Thank you Janette who worked on my invitations, they are very well done and are very specific to what I was looking for!"
"I love these invites. Wanted to change the "join us" to "together with their parent" to make it more personal. WPD helped me out and changed the wording to how I wanted it. I love WPD. They are fast and quality!!! Will recommend them for future weddings."

Actian data processing & analysis software is designed to make analysis projects faster to develop, faster to execute, and faster to deliver solid business value. We believe that speed to value is the missing link in most analysis software. Lots of products advertise fast data crunching, but rapid model prototyping and iteration are even more essential to getting the best answers than final execution speed. Getting the accurate answers you need when you really need them is the key.
Actian DataRush is the underlying engine that drives the extraordinary development and performance speed that differentiates Actian big data analytics products and custom-made solutions. It is a development framework for creating and powering parallel and distributed applications.
Actian DataRush is for developing and powering parallel applications that process massive amounts of data at extremely high speeds, either on multicore servers, or on distributed clusters of computers, such as Hadoop style implementations.
Actian DataRush is intended for use by developers familiar with JVM-based programming languages - Java, Scala, Jython, JRuby, Groovy, etc.
DataRush also has a very easy to use Javascript interface with code completion that provides data scientists with the ability to quickly and easily create and customize analysis algorithms.
Just a few key points:
Actian RushAnalytics is a visual end-to-end data preparation and analytics model development and execution platform. It consists of KNIME data mining platform plus the Actian DataRush analytics engine for execution and extensibility, and DataRush-based high performance parallel operators.
RushAnalytics is for creating data preparation and analytics models, testing them, iterating to refine them, and executing them, all in a visual interface. It includes drag and drop operators for data access, data profiling, data cleansing, sorting, joining, aggregation, classification, machine learning and more, all optimized for distributed, high performance execution to process extremely large datasets.
Actian RushAnalytics is used by data analysts, data scientists, business analysts and any other expert in data mining and predictive analytics. It can also be used by developers as a point and click interface for Actian DataRush, but is intended for data experts, rather than programmers.
Actian RushAnalytics comes in a Desktop edition, a free development only edition, and an enterprise edition that supports cluster deployment.
Actian RushLoader for Hadoop is a very simple, visual interface, based on KNIME, powered by the Pervasive DataRush analytics engine for extremely high speed parallel data loads into Hadoop. It is essentially a subset of Actian RushAnalytics capability available for FREE.
Actian RushLoader for Hadoop is for high speed parallel loading of data into HDFS or HBase from text, relational databases, log files and more.
Actian RushLoader for Hadoop is used by data analysts, data scientists, business analysts and anyone else who feels like slamming a whole lot of data into Hadoop.
If you need to do more with your data than just load it, like join, sort, cleanse, profile, or even maybe analyze it, then you probably want to check out Actian RushAnalytics.

Why Cable TV in Florence, VT
We love cable TV. Here are some reasons why we think you will too. Cable service is reliable; cable doesn't drop out in bad weather. Between the hundreds of HD channels and all the On Demand content, there is always something to watch. It's easier to install, particularly in homes with more than one television. And when you bundle it with high-speed internet, you get a fast internet connection, one low monthly bill, and can save up to $400 every year. Plus cable is:
Cable TV offersmore HD choices
Snow may mess up satellite, but itdoesn't faze cable
Cable can beinstalled virtually anywhere
How Florence Watches TV
If you thirst for cable TV knowledge, we can help. CableTV.com has cold-filtered cable data on tap and ready for consumption. Try this (it's on the house): almost everyone, or 97% of Americans, watches television as it is aired and roughly 33% of those TV viewers have at least four televisions in their homes. Upwards of 50% of people also stream video content online. Among those with cable TV, almost three-fourths bundle their service with high-speed Internet. Cable's ubiquitous national presence also helps explain how DVRs account for about 7% of America's total TV viewing.
All those stats mean that if you don't own at least one TV for every room in your house, chances are your neighbor to the left or right of you does. It also means that almost everyone you meet today will watch a TV tonight, and 57% of them will use either their DVR or their Internet to do so.
Why Choose Cable Internet in Florence
Cable providers have so much more to offer than TV. That is why so many Florence residents bundle cable services. Cable Internet is faster than most DSL services, providing downstream speeds 25%-100% faster than the national average. People who choose cable bundles also save money, roughly $400 every year they bundle TV and Internet. Both are very good explanations why cable Internet subscribers represent 32% of households, and how broadband penetration in Vermont grew to 69% by 2010. Enter your zip code to find out more about cable Internet, bundles and providers in Florence.

Now I know how to control the reins on her…it's all in the hands with some horses. She likes to run free or she gets angry. I thought today would be her day and that she would run big in this race. She's great right now."
JOHN SHIRREFFS, ZARDANA, Winner: "She's really adjusted well training on this track. She's getting a little better…she can pull if she wants to. Her workouts have been good — she's worked really well here. She won three races on the dirt in Brazil. We've been thinking of running her on the dirt since we got back here. It seemed like the thing to do."

New Pet
This is pretty much what I think youngens keep in mind when they get their first pet.
Hope you enjoyed.
(Source: zediffycomics)
Sorry….kind of
isn't captain hook and his crew suppose to be a lost boys who escaped and that's why he's trying to kill peter pan
…what the actual fuck
nah everything in Peter Pan was fucked up.
Tinkerbell and her fairy buddies were having an orgy when they found baby Peter. Tinks also extremely jealous, tricking one of the Lost Boys into shooting Wendy in the fucking chest.
Peter's also crazy omnipotent. Like, he "make believes" he's a doctor, and heals Wendy. When he's hungry, he pretends to eat imaginary food and his stomach actually gets fuller.
He's also a dick. He would teach children how to fly but never how to stop, so they'd fly for months on straight without rest or break, and they couldn't sleep either or they'd stop flying. And when one of Wendy's brothers actually fell asleep and plummeted into the ocean, Peter laughed his ass off. He only saved him when Wendy begged him too.
okay but that's the point of Peter Pan. It's not supposed to glorify never growing up, it's supposed to show kids why growing up is not only good, but necessary otherwise they'd end up as fucked up as Peter. He never matured, never learned right from wrong, he never listened to his parents because - according to Peter - he ran away as an infant.It's a tale to teach children that listening to their parents and growing up is good. As far as Tinker Bell goes, if you actually read Peter Pan you would know that fairies only feel one emotion at a time and they feel that emotion very strongly so the orgy? lust. Trying to kill Wendy? Jealousy. She embodies the seven deadly sins and what happens if you let your emotions get the best of you. (And as far as the new fairies series of films making her nicer it's because you only see the jealous side of her in Peter Pan and you see other sides of her in the series because those movies are about her).
Rant over, you can go back to your regularly scheduled blogging now.
So if Peter Pan shows up in your window. Stab him in the fucking chest kids. You have school tomorrow
Reblogging because I believe this will be important to the Once Upon a Time fandom tomorrow.
It's more complicated than that. Peter is kind of a tragic hero. He chooses not to grow up, he knows he is incomplete.
I mean, he cut off Hook's hand because he thought it was a game. He clearly doesn't know right from wrong. He also only knows the unconditional love of a mother to a child, which is why he thinks everyone wants to be his mother. He also switches sides in a fight just for fun, kill pirates for fun, and "thins" out the Lost Boys when they can't fit in the tree anymore.
But, like, it wasn't a cautionary tale to tell you to listen to your parents, it's a story about death and youth. Why can't Peter grow up? One of the popular theories is that it's because he's dead. J.M. Barrie's older brother died when Barrie was little and he dressed up in his brother's clothes to please his mom. His mom - who was always distant, whose love Barrie craved like Peter craves a mom - started crying and said something like "At least my baby will never grow up" and that idea stuck with Barrie forever. Then, as an adult, it's believed he never slept with his wife because Barrie was just a kid. He was Peter Pan. He was too innocent for that. He befriended the Llewelyn-Davies boys and based Peter Pan off of them and their games. (Fun fact: The boy Peter Pan was named after, Peter Llewelyn-Davies, threw himself under a train). There was also a bunch of stuff about Barrie being in love with The Llewlyn-Davies boys' mother, but that's not important here.
People think Peter's dead because he literally cannot return home. He tried and the window was barred and his parents had replaced him with another baby. Why? Probably because they had lost Peter to the flu. Why does Peter come in through the window? Because of the joke "I once had a bird names Enza. I opened up the window and 'influenza'." Because lots of babies died back then form the flu. The Lost Boys are children who fell out of their prams. Odds are babies could not survive falling out of their prams. Peter is liked the pied piper ferrying the souls of young children to the neverland/afterlife. Barrie believed that all children were "gay and heartless" but he didn't think that was a bad thing.
Also, Hook and his crew are not old lost boys trying to kill Peter. Hook was once a British gentlemen (hinted at to be associated with Charles II and attended Elton) and he is afraid of growing old. His biggest fear is growing old and dying - that is why his nemesis is the embodiment of eternal youth. That is why the crocodile that chases him swallowed a clock and ticks. That is why when Peter finally decided "It's Hook of me this time" the crocodile has stopped ticking and Peter started (he's trying to trick them into thinking he's the croc). At that moment - Peter is time and time has ran out for Hook.
Also, it's not so much that Peter is omnipotent. All kids basically are in the Neverland. Like, it states that the island looks different to every kid because it's the land of their dreams and stuff. Also, the island legit freezes when Peter leaves and thaws when he comes back. He's been there so long he's not human anymore - but fey. (keep in mind being fey isn't good, just chaotic neutral). Peter even secretes pixie dust now. The island is so fine tuned with him because he's one of the only people that stay, that it caters to him. Most likely any child that stayed as long as he did would become omnipotent to an extent.
As for Tinker Bell, the above stated is true. Fairies are so tiny they can only have one emotion at a time - "Tink wasn't all bad" - and they also have really short lifespans so, like, Tinker Bell isn't even that important to Peter Pan. He forgets all about her and Hook by the time Wendy is grown up.And the orgies thing is because in the legends fey are known for their revelries.
And it wasn't so much that Peter was a dick, he just doesn't know when to stop. He's a child. He doesn't know right from wrong. He doesn't know when to stop playing -cutting Hooks hand off was a game to him. He also has the memory of a child, so odds are he just forgot to teach kids how to stop flying or how to imagine food, etc. He is just carefree, like all children. Everything is a game to him, because he never learned anything else.
But like, no, Peter Pan is not a cautionary tale. Barrie loved his character and the story and brought up a lot of good things in it. He wrote Peter as an exaggeration of a cocky overconfident boy, but, like, Peter wasn't afraid of death. It says "he felt scared, yet he felt only one shudder run through him when any other person would have felt scared up until death. With his blithe attitude towards death, he says, "To die will be an awfully big adventure"." and with that Barrie is showing us both a naivety and bravery we possess as children but lose as adults and is basically telling us that we shouldn't let that go. Like, the point is growing up is inevitable but you don't have to lose everything.
And so yeah….I'm really passionate about Peter Pan.
That last person? Love you.
It's definitely not a cautionary tale. It just shows you that sometimes, a certain amount of growing up is necessary, but we shouldn't completely get rid of our child-like tendencies. Like, we should learn and act on right from wrong, but we shouldn't forget to relax and have fun when we need to. We shouldn't forget our friends, but we shouldn't be so caught up with what they think that we stop being an individual. Part of Peter's resistance to "growing up" came from a desire to be unique, special. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but we should temper that desire with the ability to make mature, healthy decisions- but by no means harmful ones.
I'm not saying it's the parents when you are depressed for example, but I am tired of seeing parents abuse their child and way and then be suprised if the child grows up and to be something far away from what they wanted to be, far away from what could have been happiness instead of darkness and failures.
It can't be that hard to tell your own child that they are loved, cared for and can do anything they put thier mind into.

Watch the video interview with the Chinese glaciologist and climate scientist, Dr Qin Dahe, awarded this year's Volvo Environment Prize.
From climate change to air pollution to the overfishing of the oceans, our planet today faces many serious challenges. The Volvo Environmental Prize is awarded each year to encourage and reward research into these and other pressing environmental issues.
First presented in 1990, the prize has become one of the world's most prestigious environmental awards. It has been bestowed on many well-known researchers in fields such as marine ecosystems, climate change and environmental economics. Among the 36 prize winners to date, three have also been awarded the Nobel Prize.
The Volvo Environmental Prize is awarded for "outstanding innovations or scientific discoveries which in broad terms fall within the environmental field". The winners, chosen by a jury of internationally renowned scientists, receive SEK1.5m (€145,000), a diploma and a glass sculpture.
The Volvo Group's involvement with the award has given us the opportunity to meet with leading scientists in the field and to discuss the important environmental issues of our time. This in turn has further inspired our own environmental efforts.

HOUSTON (UPI) — Lifestyle habits that prevent heart and vascular disease also reduce the risk of dementia, a U.S. researcher advises.
Dr. Gustavo C. Roman, director of the Nantz National Alzheimer Center at the Methodist Neurological Institute in Houston, reviewed decades of research and said reducing vascular disease guards against dementia.
To help prevent dementia, Roman recommended:
— Control blood pressure. Studies are beginning to show hypertension increases the likelihood that people with mild cognitive impairment will have dementia later in life.
— Lower cholesterol. It is an important risk factor for dementia, including Alzheimer's disease.
— Stop smoking. Smoking adversely affects blood flow to the brain, which can lead to cognitive decline and dementia.
— Control insulin resistant diabetes. Patients with diabetes are two-to-three times more likely than others to be diagnosed with Alzheimer's.
— Eat a healthy diet and exercise. A healthy diet is based on dairy, meat, fish, fruit, vegetables, cereals, low alcohol, low saturated fat.
— Reduce homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood, which is linked to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. People who already exhibit signs of dementia and test positive for high levels of homocysteine are more likely than others to respond well to large doses of B vitamins.

June/July delegation
Following up their Jan/Feb 2003 visit to Iraq as a pre-emptive strike for PEACE, CODEPINK co-Founders Medea Benjamin, Jodie Evans, Patricia Ackerman and Gael Murphy returned to Iraq to report on the Iraqi's struggle for democracy in the face of ongoing US and British occupation. They also set up the newly formed International Occupation Watch Center. They arrived home from their journey with stories and images of this war-torn country and its people. Supporters joined them at events in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Their mission was chronicled in the Journal from Iraq, which showcased their personal journeys and allowed supporters to remain informed of the true state of affairs in this country still at war.
Message from Jodie Evans in Iraq:
On Monday, to hear stories I bring home from Baghdad. It is hard here, a war zone yet the war is over, hot with no electricity, dusty with no water, danger everywhere that may never appear, fear in everyone's veins as people are now being shot point blank in the head.
Yet the Iraqi people are the same generous, kind, delightful people I met in February. I have just returned from a very difficult neighborhood in Baghdad. I walked up to a women talking with intensity and volume about the horror with the lack of water and electricity, hundreds of homeless children, and the sewage at our feet. She couldn't talk fast enough to explain the problem and demand a solution... she was talking to our interpreter, when she turned to me her face lit up with a warm greeting smile--in the midst of all of it she said to me, "welcome." She continued to plead with all of us, babies are dying, they are all miserable. Why can't the Americans give us our electricity??? I have no answer...
You can catch some of our messages at the website, I look forward to seeing you when I return.
Blessings and please pray that the darkness be lifted here...

Anyone else going up Ammon. I really want to avoid all the traffic on the east side. I'm not sure if i'm even doing a full loop. I have people meeting us at the top. If we do the loop it'll be up the Ammon and down Jewell.
Don't push it. Shoulder surgery can go bad fast. I know 4 years after getting hurt my shoulder is still healing. Shoulders and knee's are like night and day. Start riding a bike first. The Mt. will be their when your healed.Originally Posted by Joey Keyz
I will be training on my bike all summer. No hiking. To risky.
GOOD LUCK even knowing it's 3 months after your post.
I'm bugging out right now too. I did something to my shoulder on monday and its been killing me all week. It has 15 days to heal or i'm gonna have to drug myself up for the hike. j/k
Smithtown, NY
I really want to be with all the people when we start at Pinkham. As far as hiking there are still probably some trails on the east side where you will see very few people on the way to the top. The further you go into the great gulf to connect the fewer people you will see. I think my 14 year old son and I are going to do Huntington Ravine up and then maybe Tucks or Boot down. Should be an incredible day!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Look forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks.Originally Posted by Donotgogentle
I'm still thinking something out of Pinkham. If I was trying to avoid the crowds I probably wouldn't have signed up for a hike-a-thon.
A lot of it depends on the weather and whether or not my wife does the hike with me. If she comes I'll go up Lion's Head. That gets us above treeline and in view of the summit as fast as possible which will greatly increase the chances of us making it. If she doesn't come I might do Huntingtons or I might run up Tucks. I'm doing some big marathon in November and on that Saturday I'm supposed to run 11 miles for my training. I figured 8 miles roundtrip up MWN would be about the same.
Next up: Vermont City Marathon: May, 2011
We're pretty sure we're doing Tucks to Lions head. Really would like to do the Ammo/Jewell loop but want to attend the send off party and seems crazy to make that drive around the mountain as we want an early start . Is anyone planning on making the drive? Is the send off worth attending? Also, will anyone else have a one year old on their back?
Rich I think the good send off will be on fri night. At this point i'm still planning to drive around to hike the ammon trail. where are you staying maybe we can meet up and caravan over
Smithtown, NY
Most likely doing Tucks to Lion Head. I'll be leaving the front porch of the visitors center at 8 a.m. sharp. If anyone would like to join me shoot me an email.
Really want to show my 14 year old Huntington Ravine but depends on weather. The game plan is up thru Huntington down thru Tucks. Anyone else doing Huntington? We should be leaving the porch of Pinkham around 7:30. Breakfast at Pinkham and Lunch/chili at the top of the rock pile.
