The House of the Seven Gables

In a sleepy little New England village stands a dark, weather-beaten, many-gabled house. This brooding mansion is haunted by a centuries-old curse that casts the shadow of ancestral sin upon the last four members of the distinctive Pyncheon family. Mysterious deaths threaten the living. Musty documents nestle behind hidden panels carrying the secret of the family's salvation—or its downfall.
Hawthorne called The House of the Seven Gables "a Romance," and freely bestowed upon it many fascinating gothic touches. A brilliant intertwining of the popular, the symbolic, and the historical, the novel is a powerful exploration of personal and national guilt, a work that Henry James declared "the closest approach we are likely to have to the Great American Novel."
Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864) was born in Salem, Massachusetts, and made his ambition to be a writer while still a teenager. He graduated from Bowdoin College in Maine, where the poet Longfellow was also a student, and spent several years travelling in New England and writing short stories before his best-known novel The Scarlet Letter was published in 1850. His writing was not at first financially rewarding and he worked as measurer and surveyor in the Boston and Salem Custom Houses. In 1853 he was sent to Liverpool as American consul and then lived in Italy before returning to the US in 1860, where he died in his sleep four years later.
"A large and generous production, pervaded with that vague hum, that indefinable echo, of the whole multitudinous life of man, which is the real sign of a great work of fiction."
—Henry James

Hayek and his followers, neoliberals all, believe that markets should be constructed in such a way that the only consideration is financial efficiency, meaning that the rich get richer, and all externalities of production and consumption are ignored. Who really needs the Gulf of Mexico or the Ogallala Aquifer, when BP and Koch Industries want to drill, drill, drill and move that bitumen.

After last week's loss at Middleton, Madison West bounced back against Janesville Parker to get back into the conference race with a 27-13 win.
The Vikings did not make it easy on the Regents early on with a 7-7 game at halftime.
Janesville Parker put the Regents on the ropes coming out of the half. Vikings' quarterback Jaren Norrell ran in an 8 yard option keeper around the left side to put the Vikings up 13-7.
West would come out swinging on their next possession. Regents' quarterback Alex Brown lead West on a 86 yard drive, capped off by a 37 yard touchdown pass to Terrell McFadden.
The Regents travel across town next week to take on Madison East

With no warning.
There is a lot of speculation as to why.
Didn't like the art..., didn't like the fanfiction...didn't like the topics.
Here is a quote from C/Net
Thousands of LiveJournal customers are rebelling against the company's recent decision to censor hundreds of sex-themed discussion groups, a broad swath that has led to the removal of literary critiques and fan-written fiction about Harry Potter.
Make no mistake, people were pissed, 30,000 people said so in 12 hrs. Many had paid or permanent accounts, and LJ took the money with prior knowledge of what was on the accounts.
So the question arises, if someone complains about the art here or our blogs, would *DA* shut them all down in a mass strike too?

Ever since dAv5, many users have been unhappy with various aspects of dA's layout and design. Some decisions on font size, margins and spacing have clearly been neglected.
And so deviantTIDY was written, to claim back much of that wasted space! Inspired by some of janvanlysebettens's CSS mods for Firefox, deviantTIDY was a very lightweight modification to fix comment boxes and various other assets on dA pages, to make things clearer and more streamlined. Since then, it's expanded to cover lots of other annoyances, big and small, to improve the look and usability of the site, and with a JavaScript interface, it's fully customizable too.
In order to use Greasemonkey scripts, you need to install Stylish. Stylish is available for both Firefox and Chrome.
How can I check that deviantTIDY is working?
When you first install deviantTIDY (or the script component), a dialog will appear when you visit deviantART. You're good to go!
Can I use deviantTIDY with [insert your favourite skin or script here]?
deviantTIDY can be used safely in combination with other custom deviant skins and scripts because it does the very minimum amount of changes required to get the desired effect.

Pennsylvania's unemployment rate holds steady at 7.5 percent
The state turned in sluggish employment growth in June, adding 19,100 jobs and maintaining a 7.5 percent unemployment rate that was unchanged from May.
"We're not going backwards," said Frank Gamrat, senior economist at the Allegheny Institute for Public Policy, Castle Shannon.
"It's growing; it's just not growing as quickly as we would like it to," he said.
Employment gains were led by the education and health services sector, which added 17,100 jobs across the state last month, according to seasonally adjusted data released Friday by the Department of Labor & Industry.
"Health and education is really toeing the line," Gamrat said.
Despite those gains, Gamrat called the June numbers a "mixed bag" because goods-producing businesses — in construction, mining and logging, and manufacturing — all experienced declines.
"A lot of the steam we've had in the last couple years seems to have gone out of the machine," he said.
Goods-producing industries shed 5,600 workers last month, led by a 3,600-job decrease in construction.
The data on jobs come from a survey of employers. A separate survey of households is used to calculate the unemployment rate, which, while unchanged from May, was down from 8 percent in June 2012.
"That's significant. That's some positive in all this," Gamrat said.
State figures showed 490,000 people were unemployed last month, up from 488,000 the month before.
The national unemployment rate in June was 7.6 percent, unchanged from May, and down from 8.2 percent in June 2012.

Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum opens Stan Musial's "Man off the Field" Exhibit
In celebration of Stan Musial's 94th birthday, Friday the St. Louis Cardinals honored 'Stan the Man,' cutting the ribbon of the new, year-long "Man off the Field" exhibit.
"People really come here to see baseball, so we have our Stan Musial baseball stuff, but this really addresses another five decades of his life in a way that is really compelling," Paula Homan, Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum curator explained. "And it helps people know why Stan is such a great guy, why Stan is 'The Man.'"
Several of Musial's family members gathered, along with Cardinals President, Bill DeWitt III to reveal the new exhibit inside the Cardinals Hall of Fame and Museum at Ballpark Village, running until November of 2015.
"Without mom, a lot of these things wouldn't be here," Dick Musial, Stan Musial's son, explained how all of these historical mementos made their way into this exhibit. "She saved them all, thank goodness."
Many had their hands in the making of this project. Among them, some of their favorite pieces range from his boy scout neckerchief he wore during his retirement ceremony on Sept. 29, 1963, to his Cardinal red jacket.
"The red jacket is special. My dad wore that as much as possible," Dick said. "He loved the Cardinals. He was a Cardinal, no doubt about that."
A Cardinal that the organization was proud to put on display Friday.
"For us as the Cardinals, how lucky are we that our greatest player was also our greatest ambassador off the field," said DeWitt.
The Museum is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., daily. Visit cardinals.com/theman for more information.

St. Louis Cardinals partner with KidSmart to support local school children
Members of the St. Louis Cardinals front office staff, along with team mascot, Fredbird, delivered school supplies and smiles to area school children today. The group participated in the KidSmart Wish Bag Celebration at Oak Hill Elementary School in St. Louis.
The volunteers helped deliver backpacks full of school supplies, books, and other treats to each classroom.
Ann Seeney, Director of Human Resources for the St. Louis Cardinals and volunteer said:
"It was so exciting to see the kids get excited over their new backpacks and school supplies that were donated to the KidSmart program. One little girl in a class we visited had just told her teacher that morning that she didn't have a backpack. Needless to say, she was elated with her new cool pink backpack. The highlight was seeing the kids erupt when Fredbird walked in and decided to dance with the teacher. Hopefully, after all the excitement, the teachers were able to get everyone focused and back on task. What a great way to start a Friday morning."
The front office staff at the Cardinals also participate in Push for Pencils, a school supply drive to benefit KidSmart.

Tuning In to the Cardinals Radio Network
The Cardinals Radio Network is comprised of 133 stations in nine Midwest states that air radio broadcasts from who we think are the world's best radio announcers, Mike Shannon and John Rooney. We have outstanding radio affiliates that are also diehard Cardinals fans. We truly appreciate their support and always look forward to seeing them at a game.
We are fortunate to have a fantastic group of radio stations that are a part of Cardinal Nation. Caps off to our CRN affiliate in Park Hills, MO…B104.3.

Behind The Scenes Before NLCS Game 1
POSTSEASON (SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11) – by Larry State.
Being early in day, before start of NLCS in St. Louis: Buzz around Busch Stadium – inside, outside – building, mid-morning.
Game 1 of NLCS between Cardinals-Giants, later tonight.
Postseason logos, receiving fresh touch-up paint on foul-territory grass.
Cool, overcast morning; large fans assist with drying of field paint.
Cameras, technicians, other equipment abound throughout ballpark. In service-level hallway, small monitor displays Cardinals lineup graphic, likely to be used later during broadcast. Around two corners of hallway, TV camera operator sets up, waiting, waiting, waiting patiently, near entrance to visiting team clubhouse; will capture video of Giants arrive, when Giants arrive, for TV.
Outside ballpark, crowd mills here, there, back again. Among crowd, large wedding party, dressed in marriage finest, taking photos. Patrick and Michelle, to become the Holloways later in day, ceremony not long after 4 p.m. Couple stopped by reporter, agree to smile for camera. Wedding a big day for both; despite busy day of nuptials, couple-to-be asked if they root for the Cardinals during game. Couple answer in unison: "I do."
Busch Stadium Preps for NLCS
POSTSEASON (THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9) – Being an off-day, between NLDS win and Game 1 of NLCS still two days off:
Overcast, almost cool, after late-night/early morning rain. Warning track behind home plate, mushy. Left field, into left-center, covered by silvery-white infield tarp. Postseason logos, still painted on grass but fading somewhat, four days after first painting. Field crew, many shovels, shoveling on tarp, removing sediment accumulated from tarp use during games. Will prevent sediment from dumping back on infield grass next time tarp needed to cover infield.
Ballpark tour group filing down through seats to field. Group walks on warning track, takes photos at home plate, more in home dugout. In seats behind home plate, camera technician assembles parts of TV camera, new TV camera position for excitement of NLCS games.
On service level of stadium, provisions being delivered for upcoming series: fresh mushrooms, heavy whipping cream, diced celery, cheese slices. In mostly empty Cardinals Club – upscale dining area inside stadium, behind home plate seating, under stands – chefs and other staff testing new pizza oven, for future use at Cardinals Nation venue across street from stadium. Chef inspecting pizza when cooked, noting firmness of crust, then cooking another. Can confirm suitability of both cheese and pepperoni varieties of new product.
Noon approaches, Cardinals begin to take field for workout. Pitchers to rightfield corner, jog, knees high, warmup exercises. Marco Gonzales, promising young southpaw, runs lap around field on warning track, threading between TV-equipment carts near visiting dugout; completes lap in right field and joins fellow pitchers. Position players play catch near infield, take positions on field. Three coaches, all near home plate, hitting ground balls at nearly same time to infielders. Nearby, field crew watching intently, seeming ready to pounce and protect field if heavy rain begins.
Workout ends, players go inside. Swarm of media to home dugout, interview ahead with Cardinals manager Mike Matheny. Waiting, waiting, for manager to arrive. Word sent, rainfall to move interview indoors. Media herd marches across warning track, into usual interview room, now furnished for larger crowd. Cameras, lights, set up and turned on quickly. Manager enters, calm smile on face, takes place at table, fielding questions.
On field, field crew in action, pulling tarp over infield. Bird, landing on seatback in first row, with excellent view of field. Asked to pose for photo with field in background. Bird takes umbrage at media request, flies away in huff, refusing to answer questions.

Postseason Preparations Underway at Busch Stadium
POSTSEASON (Saturday, October 4, early morning) – Cloud-free, sunny day in St. Louis, literally and figuratively, after comeback win previous evening in L.A.
Later in evening, Game 2 of Cardinals-Dodgers battle on tap. At moment, a quiet, chilly, early morning, many perhaps still asleep. Around Busch Stadium work continues, readying ballpark for Game 3 of NLDS, scheduled for Monday.
On field, five-man crew performing traditional, near-annual St. Louis chore, painting designs in grass for postseason games. In foul territory, first- and third-base side, identical patterns taking shape. Large, vinyl patterns, 16 feet by 42 feet, set on grass. Many holes pre-cut in vinyl patterns. Painters use rollers, apply paint over all precut holes, red, white, blue. Vinyl patterns folded, carried away; painted, connect-the-dots pattern remains, painted on grass. Painters do connect dots, completing MLB postseason image seen on grass of all fields hosting playoff games.
Trick of field-painting trade learned while observing. High frequency of grass mowing, leading to presence of small grass clippings. Painters, careful to use paint rollers slowly, avoiding phenomenon of white-painted grass clippings bouncing off ground, into air, and onto painter.
Behind home plate, familiar Birds-on-Bat logo ready for painting. Large pattern, used many times in past, made by sign company performing painting job. Many pieces to assemble. Duct tape, masking tape, some 200 nails, all helping hold things in place. Nearby, member of Cardinals field crew takes care not to soak painters while watering infield grass.
Field-painting crew gone, other work continues around stadium. Two-man crew updates rotating advertising signs to display during postseason games. Different paint crew, between 5-10 painters, continues job, begun roughly month earlier, applying new coat of paint to all structural steel in ballpark. Around lowest level of stadium, taped signs posted, providing directions to newcomers from national media,how to find various workrooms for media during playoffs. Media interview room, normally laid-back layout of one podium and two small rows of chairs, upgraded; raised platform in front (for interview subjects, to be seated at table) and back (for two-tiered multitude of TV cameras), indicating next game at ballpark, figuratively speaking, to be played on bigger stage.
State of Cardinal Nation
Being an unofficial, semi-personalized account of life behind scenes and around edges of Cardinals
POSTSEASON (Friday, October 3) – Postseason being not just event or schedule, but seeming at times to become actual place of its own …
Cardinals-Dodgers matchup in Game 1 of NLDS set to start in three hours, far off in Los Angeles.
In St. Louis, chilly, windy, gray, off-and-on rain falling during parts of day at empty Busch Stadium, home of Game 3 of series three days hence. Red-white-blue bunting, already in place around façade of multiple seating decks for postseason games, ripples in wind, only sound in otherwise silent seating bowl of ballpark. Video board at stadium serving as giant TV, displaying Tigers-Orioles Game 2 of ALDS.
Team employees, seeming to forget existence of any shirt color other than red. Excitement building during day through office and cubicle, with team-employee watch party on tap for start of game on TV at 5:37 local time. File cabinet in hallway stocked with delicious, non-nutritional snacks, sent to office as postseason-celebration gift; employees avoid lethargy despite mass consumption of pretzels, corn chips, candy corn.
Chatter throughout team front office likely same as many other places – lineup predictions, greatness of Wainwright-Kershaw matchup, review of other games throughout day. Some meetings and discussion topics perhaps unique to front office, during prep for Series arrival in St. Louis on Monday: identity of anthem singers, exact timing of lineup introductions, location and nature of pregame Monday pep rally.
Late in day, word arriving of possible 8:37 local game time for Monday game in St. Louis. Employees scurrying to last-minute, end-of-week tasks, halls growing quiet, as all hurry to watch-party gathering site near stadium. Silent, resting, ballpark awaits Saturday arrival of field-painters, sign-makers, for NLDS prep work over weekend.

How The Bridge Program Works
These programs are designed for nurses at the associate level with nursing experience who want to gain their Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). To be able to qualify for the program, you need to have worked as a registered nurse for at least a year. In some cases, you may be required to submit an essay that explains your working experience. To take this bridge program, you will require 60 general education credits plus nursing work. You will also need to have completed courses in math, physical sciences, humanities as well as social sciences.
Once you meet the qualification criteria, you will have to take bachelor degrees bridge work credits; any number of credit hours between 15 and 25. During your bachelor's work, you will need to maintain a GPA not below 2.5 or 3.0; this is the only way you will advance to the program's master's part.
Once you successfully complete your bridging program, you will advance to the master's coursework. This part of the program will take up at least 2 years to complete. The master's level starts with advanced courses in general like professional practice, health assessment, as well as community health. Most bridge programs will then require you to choose an area of specialization once the student completes the general classes. You can chose from a wide range of areas such as gerontology, acute care, women health, emergency care and eve midwifery among other areas.
Is an RN to MSN bridge program ideal for you?
Before you can decide on taking the programs, it is important to first determine whether the program really suits you. There are certain factors you can consider to determine this issue.
Do you have the experience?
It is important to ensure that you have the required nursing skills to advance in your career. You also need to clearly understand the difference between advanced nursing and regular nursing care.
Are you determined?
You need to know that these programs are demanding and very intensive. This is because they are crush programs and thus you will be required to cover the coursework in a short time frame and meet high levels of academic achievements.
What is your preferred area of specialty?
Most of these programs are meant to prepare nurses for career advancement; they are clinical degrees. It is important to have it clearly in you mind the area you would like to specialize in once you reach the master's level.
Do you have the time?
Most of these bridge programs do not encourage working part time while taking the program. This is because the process can be too strenuous for you and you may not meet your academic targets. However, if you feel strongly that you can make time for class and work; you will need to work really hard to balance the two.
Once you determine what you want, you can now go ahead and enroll for an RN to MSN bridge program and be on your way to a rewarding career.

Re:First step is to collect data. (405 comments)
Bounce codes are often a lie. Do not believe them per se. This has to do with anti-spam methods.
Re:First step is to collect data. (405 comments)
Actually: Gmail is quite the odd one out. They have their own opinion on how to filter, and quite succesful at it. Hotmail and Yahoo both offer feedbackloop and, sometimes, you can contact them.
Now the anti-spam organisations sure know each other, and share data. But on a larger scale that you would probably see in blacklists (for a full list of blacklists: http://multirbl.valli.org/). Since you are not blacklisted, I don't think that that is the issue.
About the messages: Hotmail says you should try again later. Do that. But Yahoo says that there are user complaints... That is probably true. You may actually be sending too little email (that looks like a botnet-like signature). They want a lot of legitimate traffic per IP, not droplets of maybe-spam.
But to conclude: Email is not easy anymore, even if it is your profession (it is mine). Forget about getting to know what is behind the curtains of blacklists and large inbox providers (they have their hands full on real crime to worry about a few false positives).
Re:Desparate Microsoft pulls a "Sun Microsystems" (525 comments)
There are enough arguments against that conclusion. Just think of all the lost opportunities for businesses and wasting dollars on crap software, with previous MS business methods.To describe this differently: The MS way, is a dead end and you need extra effort to get on the highway again.

Re:OMG (29 comments)
You can workaround this with procedures. Iceland could provide a radiostation which you must monitor being in the area near the vulcano. The radiostation could periodically/automatically say that everything is OK or that it is not. Obligatory notifications that you are entering and leaving the area are often used.

I am Laurel Park w/o John Sr. Polk Co. Wi. He had two Park grandparents. Olive Park and Willis Park. Their grandfathers were Alfred and Amos Park s/o Samuel Park of West Virginia. Alfred and Amos left for Ohio with sister Rhoda Burkett and brothers Timmothy and Samuel in the 1830's and had families (several members of which then migrated on into the Polk Co. Wi. area.) J.W. Park s/o Amos donated the land in Balsam Lake for the streets and court house moving the co. seat to his hometown. Alfred's son Jacob had eight childern with six of his sons who at one time or another also lived in Polk Co. and built the Balsam Lake shcool and the Polk Co. Fair Grandstand (which still stands and is used). I have copies of pictures of these families as well the deeds they used to donate land to the city and co.
I know that Rhoda and Samuel moved on to Mo. Anyone know Why? I have very little info on Samuel. I have pic of Wash Park and the death folder from one of Jefferson's daughters but little else on these brothers that Jacob's sons wrote to and I have correspondace from.
I do not know what happened to Alfred/Amos's sisters Elizabeth Myers, Anne or Susannah Park.
J.W. had 6 sisters and his cousin Jacob had 2 most of whom I have been able to dig out of the Crawford Co. Ohio 1895 U.S. atlas (a most useful book). However, I am still short two. From the book are relitives by surname Seery, Harper, Foy, Mcloughlin, Stoltz and Meyers. I am not sure which (J.W./Jacob) was brother-in-law to Harper but I do know there is a connection.

Introducing myself and my journal: Aid Afghanistan for Education
About Me:
The first 17 years of my life were enjoyed in Afghanistan. When the Russian conflict was imminent, in 1978, we immigrated to the USA. When my father died in 1995, I decided to return to Afghanistan, something my father had dreamed of doing.
However, in 1995, I could only get as far as Pakistan where I decided to visit the Afghan refugee camps. I was shocked to see the conditions under which the people had to live and was inspired to start schools for the refugees. In 1999, I had entered Afghanistan temporarily and was able to establish clandestine schools for girls. Although the Taliban tried multiple times to stop the women from attending these schools, to the credit of the girls, they persisted. By December of 2001, I was finally able to return home to Afghanistan. In Feb 2003, I was able to formally establish Aid For Afghanistan for Education, a nonprofit registered in Afghanistan. We now have over 3000 students in 13 different schools and, most recently, a school for boys. Over 1009 girls have graduated, many of whom continued on to University.
Recognizing that peace was dependent on both education and jobs, in 2004, I established Boumi, a home décor business focused on building jobs, saving the beautiful cultural art of embroidery and building an international market for the products. We currently produce a line called "Crafting Peace with Boumi" in addition to multiple home decor items. Farsi script is on each bird as chosen by the woman who hand embroidered it. These Farsi words mean various things including "Peace," "Hope," and other such phrases.
As of March 2013, US funding for the schools stopped. We need bridge funding for 3 to 6 months until internal funding is available. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com to organize assistance. Of course, all donations will be U.S. tax-deductible. Our fiscal partner is Give2Asia.
You may also view multiple YouTube videos by doing a search for my name, Hassina Sherjan, on YouTube. Thank you for helping spread the word.
My Passions:
Afghanistan, Peace, education for the Afghan people, building jobs for Afghans
My Challenges:
money to assure that peace and stabilization is built for the Afghan people
My Vision for the Future:
Peace in Afghanistan and an educated Afghan nation
My Areas of Expertise:
International Development, education, building business
