Sexualities in Literature and Culture
Winter 2014
Dr. Abby Coykendall
Section #26820
Tuesday & Thursday 12:30–1:45
Pray-Harrold Hall 318
"[O]f this we may be perfectly sure, [modesty] was originally designed as nothing but a stimulant to lust: the engaging idea was to postpone desire's fulfillment in order to increase excitement, and fools subsequently took as a virtue what was merely a contrivance of libertinage" —Marquis de Sade, Juliette
"[T]he deployment of sexuality established the desire for sex, … to discover it, to liberate it, to articulate it in discourse, [a desire which] makes us think that we are affirming the rights of our sex, … when in fact we are fastened to [it as] a sort of mirage in which we think we see ourselves reflected" —Michel Foucault, History of Sexuality
Course Description: LITR/WGST 455 will investigate the vexed interconnection between sexuality and society, the ways in which culture scripts the erotic imagination and eroticism scripts the cultural imagination in turn, by attending to the myriad discourses of the social body (the 'body politic') and the sexual or sexualized body found in popular and canonical literature extending from the late seventeenth to the twentieth century. Sex and culture are often treated as antithetical domains, with sex strictly segregated from the social order as obscene, literally "off stage," and the obscene construed as wholly inimical to the aesthetic. However, these presumed distinctions often themselves hinge on arbitrary partitions of normative, socially sanctioned sexualities from other modes of erotic and/or affective intercourse. Where, for example, would canonical literary culture be if not inclusive of the "great novels" so often featuring heterosexual romances either culminating in marriage (Pride and Prejudice, Portrait of a Lady) or complicating that social institution by way of intrigue (Madame Bovary, Dangerous Liaisons, Great Gatsby, The English Patient)?
The title of this class is deliberately plural, as plural as sexuality itself can be, since we will be considering an array of erotic, affective, and bodily practices that may or may not be monogamous, missionary, conjugal, heterosexual, or even pleasurable. Our readings will extend from the seventeenth-century libertine poetics of the Earl of Rochester and Aphra Behn, to the enlightenment-era novels of John Cleland (Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure) and the Marquis de Sade (Philosophy of the Boudoir), to late Victorian decadent novelists like Oscar Wilde (Picture of Dorian Gray), and finally to contemporary feminist and/or queer authors such as Angela Carter, Kathy Acker, and Rob Halpern. Along the way, we will ask how the very attempt to sever certain sexualities from the cultural imagination and from the larger social order leaves a trace not only of the obscene, but of the mise en scène (or scene-making) of sociality itself, as dominant cultures reconfigure their parameters in relation to changing political, historical, and material conditions.
Books are available for purchase at the EMU Bookstore in the Student Center, as well as at online merchants (Amazon, Able's, Barnes & Noble) or other university bookstores in the area. Make sure to get the correct edition pictured below by double-checking the ISBN numbers (a fingerprint of sorts for the book):
John Cleland, Fanny Hill; Or, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, ed. Gary Gautier
(Modern Library/ Random House, 1995; ISBN # 0375758089)
Marquis de Sade, Philosophy in the Boudoir (Penguin 2006; ISBN # 0143039016)
Oscar Wilde, Picture of Dorian Gray (Oxford 2008; ISBN # 0199535981)
Tennessee Williams, Streetcar Named Desire, ed. Arthur Miller
(New Directions, 2004; ISBN # 0811216020)
Jeanette Winterson, Written on the Body (Vintage 1994; ISBN # 0679744479)
The other required readings are available in the online course shell, printable from any campus computer: http://emuonline.edu/ (see the "Doc Sharing" link). Bring copies of required readings, whether the books above or handouts from the course shell, with you to class. You will need everything on hand for groupwork and class discussions.
Participation (Responses, Homework, Presentation, & Quizzes)
Examination #1 (self-designed essay exam question synthesizing Section I materials)
Six-Page Research Essay (on one of the literary works assigned in class)
Examination #2 (self-designed essay exam question synthesizing Section II materials)
Nothing is more vital for success in this course than keeping up with, and actively engaging in, the reading assignments, response papers, and class discussions each day. The more actively you participate, the more the course content can reflect your unique needs and interests. As with any university course, homework will take around two hours to complete for every unit of class or, in other words, six hours per week. See the course shell online (http://emuonline.edu/) for information about assignments, including ways to augment your grade through extra credit if you fall behind.
Instructor Availability:
I will be delighted to discuss any course-related questions, interests, or concerns during my office hours, as well as at any time through email (firstname.lastname@example.com). Emails with straightforward questions usually receive a reply within a few hours to a day; those with thornier issues usually receive a reply within a week. Please limit inquiries to those that I alone can answer so I can give the more pressing issues of other students the attention that they deserve. If, for example, you are unsure about a due date, consult the syllabus, the handouts in the online course shell, or the peers in your group, and then email only if the confusion persists. Your first visit to my office hours with a course-related inquiry, such as to get guidance on homework, discuss readings lately covered, or brainstorm essay ideas, will be worth extra credit.
Failure to participate regularly in class discussion makes achieving the course objectives difficult and, eventually, impossible. Reserve absences for illnesses, car accidents, or other unforeseen emergencies preventing you from coming to class and make sure not to exhaust your allowable absences too early in the term. Because this course primarily consists of reading and discussion—rather than facts, figures, or memorization—regular attendance is crucial. You never need to explain why you are absent, as I always will assume that you have an excellent reason to miss class. However, any student who misses FIVE class periods for any reason—that is, any student who misses over two weeks of the term—will have his or her final grade reduced by a full mark (for example, lowered from A to B, B to C, etc.), and any student who misses SIX or more class periods will become ineligible to pass. When you must be absent, contact the other students in your group to share notes or determine what you missed. All missed homework is due on your return, and any changes to the schedule will be sent to the class as a whole by email.
The most essential information—due dates, assignment instructions, clarification of issues—is given at the beginning of class, so it is essential to come on time. Make sure to leave early just in case you encounter any problems along the way (traffic jams, late busses, no parking). Arriving well into the period or exiting well before its conclusion both count as half an absence. If you are late, it is your responsibility to sign the attendance sheet to avoid being marked absent. Habitual lateness that disrupts the class eventually counts as an absence (or absences) as well.
Classroom Etiquette:
It is important to be mindful of your peers during class time, listening to them with the same respect and attention that you hope to receive yourself. Once class begins, do not distract your peers by walking in or out of the room unless there is a genuine emergency. If you have a medical condition requiring you to leave occasionally, bring a doctor's note confirming as such; otherwise, conduct all personal business outside of class.
Disruptive exits can be both mental and physical. Students unprepared to discuss the materials for the day, or discovered using laptops or phones for purposes unrelated to the course, will be asked to leave and marked absent. This course has a no-laptop, no-cell-phone policy, so do not bother using these instruments during class time unless specifically asked to do so to look something up.
This class is meant to be a welcoming educational experience for all students, including those who may have challenges or disabilities that impact learning. If you find yourself having difficulty participating or demonstrating knowledge in this course, please feel free to contact me to discuss reasonable accommodations (preferably at least one week prior to the need), even if you currently lack a Disability Resource Center (DRC) accommodation letter. You can also contact the DRC directly to talk about possible accommodations (734-487-2470; 240K Student Center; firstname.lastname@example.com).
Grading Scale:
Academic Resources & Campus Safety:
The University Writing Center (115 Halle Library) offers one-to-one writing consulting. Students can make appointments or drop in from 9AM to 6PM Mondays through Thursdays and from 11AM to 4PM on Fridays. Students should bring a draft of what they're working on and their assignment. The Academic Projects Center (116 Halle Library) offers one-to-one, drop-in consulting for students on writing, research, or technology-related issues from 11-5 Monday-Thursday. Another support center is the International Student Resource Center (200 Alexander, 487-0370) dedicated to second-language students from abroad.
Also consider availing yourself of the campus escort service, Student Eyes and Ears for University Safety, by calling 48-SEEUS (487-3387). If you sign up for the emergency text-messaging system (www.emich.edu/alerts), DPS can notify us of any calamity afflicting the campus.
Academic Integrity:
Understanding and avoiding academic dishonesty, and doing all coursework on your own, is imperative. Copying the homework of peers, taking credit for essays that you find on the internet, cheating on exams, or recycling your own essays written for other classes for double credit are all forms of academic dishonesty. The worst form of academic dishonesty is plagiarism, which, put simply, is taking either the ideas or the words of another person and reusing them as if they are your own.
You thus must acknowledge when you make use of the concepts and/or expressions of other people without any exception under any circumstance, whether it be by drawing on Wikipedia for mundane (and quite possibly specious) information or channeling the most holy of holy books for heavenly inspiration. When describing the ideas of someone else in your own words, make sure to signal as such (e.g., "So and so says X … "); most importantly, when inserting the words of someone else into your own writing, make sure to credit that person for the passage and place quotation marks on either side (e.g., So and so says "X"). Writing that lacks these acknowledgements will pass as your own by default, and any writing that thus seems to be your own, without actually being your own, will be plagiarizing the original source.
All instances of academic dishonesty will result in an automatic 0% grade for the assignment; second instances will result in outright failure of the course. There is no excuse for academic dishonesty, nor will there be any exceptions to this policy. Make sure that your work is plagiarism-free before turning it in.

text: Looks to me like you can have it on the road or in your possession; just not in a visitor center or any other federal building within the park boundary.It would still be your duty in North Carolina to notify the ranger at a traffic stop/checkpoint if you are carrying concealed, that you have a concealed handgun permit and a concealed handgun. I work for a national park here in North Carolina and I am very happy with the ruling. When the comment period was open, I sent in my 2 cents and stated that from experience as a seasonal LEO, it is a very good idea. Crimes are commited on NPS land everyday but now, the bad guys know that there is a possibility ANYBODY could be carrying concealed. Not sure if we will ever be able to OC on NPS land but this new ruling at least gives us a starting point!

Taiwan-based contract manufacturer Foxconn will build a factory in Madison, Wisc., after the state's economic development agency approved a $3 billion incentives package earlier this week. Gov. Scott Walker and Foxconn's founder Terry Gou signed the deal Friday afternoon at SC Johnson. U.S. Speaker of the House Paul Ryan of Janesville, Wisc., also attended.
Foxconn is largely known as the supplier of screens for Apple's iPhone. It aims to open the $10 billion, 20-million-square-foot liquid-crystal display plant in 2020 at a 1,000-acre site in southeastern Wisconsin. The deal was hammered out between the state and the manufacturer, and requires job creation commitment from Foxconn. In return for the up to $3.8 billion in state and local incentives, the manufacturer will invest up to $10 billion to eventually create up to 13,000 jobs at the plant.
Because Foxconn has a past history of not fulfilling hiring promises -- Yahoo Finance has reported that Foxconn has a track record of using robots, for example -- the contract mandates that a certain number of jobs that must be created for Foxconn to get up to $2.85 billion in tax credits. Foxconn must aggressively hire workers, starting with a minimum of 260 next year and rising to at least 5,200 in 2022 and at least 10,400 by 2027. In addition, the company must pay workers at least $30,000 a year and the average salary of the workers would have to be $53,900 for Foxconn to receive the tax credits. Finally, among other conditions, the state has built in a "claw back" clause, allowing Wisconsin to take back all of Foxconn's tax credit awards if the company misrepresents its actions, moves the plant or closes it. It could also, starting in 2023, demand up to $500 million if the company doesn't meet a minimum jobs threshold.

The announcement of leftist alliance continues to be the major issue discussed by opinion makers and editors in the Kathmandu press today as well. Major Nepali newspapers have carried out multiple articles on the election alliance forged among the CPN-UML, CPN-Maoist Centre and Naya Shakti Party Nepal.
Besides them, other contemporary political, social and economic issues have also received considerable attention by the editors today.
Former survey official and border expert Buddhi Narayan Shrestha in his lead article for Nagarik argues that it is the high time Nepal and India regulated the open border between them. Taking the reported entry of hundreds of Rohingya refugees in Nepal into consideration as a case in point, Shrestha has said the open border can put the both countries into a number of problems.
"Besides these, Nigerian, Ethiopian and Sudanese refugees occasionally roam in Kathmandu. What happens if the number of Rohingyas also goes up to the level of Bhutanese? The government should be cautious on time," he argues, "Not only refugees, but other terrorists also enter either of the country through open border. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been repeatedly raising the issue that undesired elements have been misusing the open border whenever Nepali prime ministers visit him."
Shrestha adds that the influence of Islamic State gradually expanding into the Asian region as the group has already carried out a number of attacks in Pakistan and Bangladesh, arguing the open border between Nepal and India might facilitate their entrance to the country.
Therefore, he suggests Nepalis and Indians be asked to show their identification whenever they use the open border.
One of the oldest communist leaders of the country, Mohan Bikram Singh, has written a long article in Annapurna Post analysing possible effects of the election alliance among major communist forces of Nepal. He doubts that the parties will unify after the provincial and federal parliamentary elections; therefore analyses effects of their poll partnership only.
He begins with a positive note that the partnership between the CPN-UML and the CPN-Maoist Centre has once again brought major leftist forces of the country together as they had gone away from each other along after the fall of KP Sharma Oli-led government. Singh, however, says the parties are unlikely to unify as the unification of communist parties should necessarily base on their principles and ideologies, but the six-point argument signed between them does not talk about their ideology.
Further, one of the signatories of the agreement, Baburam Bhattarai is more interested to establish an 'alternative force' than the communist one, he adds.
Nevertheless, Singh's is hopeful and positive: "Even if the proposed unification is just for an election alliance, if it contributes to preventing possible conspiracies against republicanism, nationalism and secularism, it will have a greater political significance."
Bibeksheel Sajha Party leader Milan Pandey in his article for Kantipur analyses major problems that hindered the participation of youth in the mainstream Nepali politics and suggests ways forward.
He begins his argument with citing figures that 81 per cent of Nepal's population is dominated by people below the age of 45, but the number of lawmakers below the age of 40 is just 14 per cent. Among chiefs of municipalities and rural municipalities elected from recently held local level elections, 71 per cent were above the age of 60 whereas just 18 per cent were below the age of 40, he informs.
For Pandey, there are three factors behind youth's low participation in Nepali politics: I) they lack access to resources; II) People generally think that good brains should not join politics; and III) The organisational structure of major parties is not welcoming to youth. However, he stresses youth's involvement in politics can help the country bring about positive changes, calling on top leaders of major parties to promote youth leadership in their parties.
Two intellectual members of Nepali diaspora based in the United Kingdom have written an op-ed in Republica daily today, arguing the government should take serious initiatives to ensure that citizens enjoy the right to health as provisioned in the new constitution. As the government has recently introduced the Health Insurance Scheme and is piloting the programme in 15 districts across the country, they suggest the scheme be implemented more effectively so that citizens living under the line of poverty will also have an access to quality health facilities.
The writers give an example of a man from Dang district of western Nepal who has been unable to treat his infection in brain just because his family could not afford the treatment. They conclude, "A promising initiative, the health insurance scheme will have to address the problems faced by people like Kripa Lal across the country."

14 October 2009
THE Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix wildcard programme is set to be a permanent annual fixture tied to the Malaysian Super Series (MSS) organised by the Sepang International Circuit (SIC).
And it doesn't matter if the AirAsia Malaysia 125cc GP Team evolves into a full-fledged racing team on the World Motorcycle Championships, as this programme will be geared as an incentive scheme for riders racing full-framed bikes locally.
The AirAsia Malaysia team, launched on Monday, will feature Elly Idzlianizar Ilias and Modh Zulfahmi Khairuddin as wildcards in the 125cc in this year's Malaysian Grand Prix at Sepang Circuit on Oct 23-25.
It will be the first time since 2003 that a Malaysian rider will feature in the race.

SIC chief executive officer Razlan Razali said riders from a new Supersports class of the MSS to be introduced next year will have two wildcard slots in the Malaysian Grand Prix to race for.
"The best rider under the age of 21 will ride as a wildcard in the 125cc class and the best rider above that age will get a wildcard in the new Moto 2 class," said Razlan.
The incentive scheme comes into place for next year's MSS series, from which the riders will win wildcard slots for the 2011 Malaysian Grand Prix.
This provides a more open opportunity than the wildcard programme this year, which was based on a five-month long selection and training programme through which Elly Idzlianizar and Mohd Zulfahmi progressed.
Razlan said for next year, Zulfahmi, 18, will be retained as a wildcard entry with the same format of selection (this year) to be used to identify another rider for an extra slot.
"We expect to place Zulfahmi, who is young and with potential, in three other races on the MotoGP calendar as a wildcard next year," said Razlan.
With main sponsors AirAsia already expressing interest in supporting a long-term project that could see the team running a full season in the 125cc World Championship in three years' time, development on the local front will be addressed by this new scheme.
"We expect that by 2011, Zulfahmi will already be fully developed and ready for a full season in the 125cc World Championship," said Razlan.
"We hope to blood the wildcard winners from the 2010 MSS season in some races in the Spanish or Italian championships.
"By using the Supersports 600cc class as a platform, we will be able to develop riders who can adapt quickly to the 125cc and the new Moto 2 class bikes."

Tag: Sokoki
Words and Abenaki Heritage in Wantastegok
The Burning Evidence
Again from Sokoki Abenaki country, a line of observations drawing from the statement in the previous post, quoting Hon. Charles K. Field (who married Julia Ann Kellogg, a descended cousin of Capt. Joseph Kellogg, second commander at Fort Dummer) in The Vermont Phoenix of July 7, 1876:
The intervales and meadows at Fort Dummer, upon West River, and at the Asylum farm, were found entirely bare of forest trees. Such was the fact with all the meadows on the Connecticut River at the time of the first settlement of New England. The Indians burned them over every year, and used them for planting grounds.
Much has been stated about this practice, in general, and I need not belabor it. One quote via William Cronon's "Changes in the Land" (1983) is probably enough to stage the subject, and is appropriate here: "Selective Indian burning thus promoted the mosaic quality of New England ecosystems, creating forests in many different stages of ecological succession. In particular, regular fires promoted what ecologists call the 'edge effect.' By encouraging the growth of extensive regions which resembled the boundary areas between forests and grasslands, Indians created ideal habitats for a host of wildlife species."
More specific and with a connection to Wantastegok is another quote, from the letters of Timothy Dwight IV (1822), eighth President of Yale, and grandson of his namesake, the first commander at Fort Dummer (1724) established in what would later become Brattleboro:
A good overview of the Eastern Algonquian practice in general can be found here, in a USDA publication entitled "Wildland Burning by American Indians in Virginia" by Hutch Brown (2000).
Grounding this locally, we can now take a look at Walter Needham's "A Book of Country Things" (1965). Walter was a lifelong Guilford, VT resident, who wrote (with co-author Barrows Mussey) a rather popular little book recounting the things he learned from his grandfather Leroy L. Bond, born in 1833. Among them was a familiarity with locating the signs of indigenous presence in the local landscape, a skill that Walter modestly claimed was the only thing at which he had become more adept than "Gramp". In fact, he is known as one of the more active "relic hunters" in the immediate area (present-day Dummerston south to Vernon, Vermont); regrettably, his collections, for the most part, seem to have disappeared leaving only loose, vague accounts. The memories that remain, however, bear out a story of widespread, active settlement and extensive usage of the Kwenitekw and its landscape, counter to the prevailing Euro-American narrative that held (and often still holds) otherwise.
Speaking of the land management practices of the area's original inhabitants, Needham relates: "Instead of plowing the cornfields like we do, the Indians burned them over every year. In most of the flat places where I find Indian relics, there's a black line at one level of the soil, and under a [magnifying] glass you see it's tiny pieces of charcoal." Needham refers several times to this thin black line in the riverside stratigraphy.
Finally, we can pull another quote from a legacy account in the immediate area, the voluminous "A History of the Town of Northfield, Massachusetts: For 150 Years, with an Account of the Prior Occupation of the Territory by the Squakheags" by Josiah Howard Temple and George Sheldon (1875). This compilation (which must be read critically, as is the case with many period accounts) is the single best historical source for an admittedly colonized perspective on the Sokwakiak, the indigenous people who preceded the European incursion. Temple and Sheldon implicitly acknowledge the provenance of the land the settlers eagerly apportioned to themselves:
And yet, "There Are No Evidences of Indian Settlements in This Town."
Mount Wantastiquet as a Prayer Seat
"The Indian's Great Chair"
Pulling together some local references, with some further afield, and some discussion as to the significance of mountains and mountaintops to indigenous ways of being in relationship to place, especially certain mountains associated with certain landscapes. Keeping in mind the essence of indigeneity as an understanding of the people and the land as one entity, these places close to the sky have sacred significance and are often reserved for ceremony and ritual. Specific knowledge of these places may understandably not be a part of the historic record, but some hint or allusion may be found in careful readings, and connections made, and remade, by implication from comparable instances elsewhere.
The mountain we now refer to as Mount Wantastiquet (Wantastegok Wajo, 1350′) stands on the east bank of the Kwenitekw/Connecticut River opposite the mouths of the Wantastekw/West River and Kitad8gansibo/Whetstone Brook and lies in today's towns of Hinsdale and Chesterfield, New Hampshire. Its steep forested flanks, rising abruptly on the morning side of the long river valley (over 1100′), anchor the immediate landscape and provide a ready reference point from wherever a vantage can be gained above the trees, across the many dips in the rolling terrain of the Piedmont. Likewise, it looms ahead for many miles as a landmark – upstream or down – for any paddler on the mainstem, signaling the confluence of the two rivers that inform Wantastegok. Brief mention was made of its prominence in a recent post, noting that it was characterized in some old accounts as "the Indian's Great Chair." The nearly identical reference is made in two local history books: The Gazetteer of Cheshire County, NH: 1736-1885 by Hamilton Child (1885) and the History of Chesterfield, Cheshire County, NH from the Incorporation of "Township Number One" by Massachusetts, in 1736, to the year 1881… by Oren Randall (1882). The former gives credit to the latter as his source. Child's description is worth sharing.
Let's look a little further northwest in N'dakinna, Western Abenaki country, to one of the best known of Vermont's Green Mountains, and its third highest, the peak known as Camel's Hump (4081′). It is probably the most easily recognized of the state's summits for its distinctive two-humped profile (featured on the official VT Coat of Arms, the 2001 state quarter, and the conservation license plate), which is a classic demonstration of its glacial past.
"The summit is an extreme example of a roche moutonnée, literally "sheep rock," so named by geomorphologists because of a perceived similarity to sleeping sheep. As a glacier advances, it glides over ridgetops, smoothing them over. On the lee side, a steep slope forms as ice freezes into the hillside and plucks rocks away. Thus, on Camel's Hump, the northern flank of the mountain—the lower hump—is smoothed over, but the southern flank—the taller rock hump—forms a steep rock face."
The singular profile of Tawapodiwajo/Camel's Hump from the east.
The peak has had its share of names from Champlain forward, but its original Aln8baodwaw8gan/Western Abenaki name has been variously reported as – according to John C. Huden's Indian Place Names of New England (1962) – "ta wak be dee esso wadso," or "tahwahbodeay wadso" (wadso meaning mountain)," fancifully translated as "prudently, we make a campfire in a circle near water (and rest) at this mountain." But a more sober, simple, and accurate explanation is attributed by Huden to Rowland Robinson as "resting place, or sit-down place, mountain." This is found more than once in Robinson's own prolific writings, in one case within "Hunting Without a Gun, and Other Papers" (1905), in the footnotes on page 33. As a source, Dr. Gordon M. Day attests to the veracity and familiarity of Robinson with the Abenaki language, which he had heard for himself in the late 19th century from Native speakers, in his brief essay "Ethnology in the Works of Rowland E. Robinson." Walter Hill Crockett cites Robinson's place names as well, in his "Vermont, the Green Mountain State" (1921).
Day's Western Abenaki Dictionary Volume II (1994) gives "dawabodi" (or "tawapodi") as "something one sits down into; a hollow seat, can be used for a saddle." And further, "dawaopodiiwajo" means "place to sit in mountain; saddle mountain; mountain seat; Camel's Hump, VT." Here, now, we see another reference to a mountain as a seat. (By the way, another Abenaki cognative for the peak, akin and antecedent to the Camel's Hump moniker, is "moziozagan" for "moose's shoulder or moose's hump.") The video below gives a good idea of the circumferential prospect from the mountain.
Going just a little further afield, at the edge of Abenaki homelands but still well within the Algonquian-speaking region of New England, we can find a couple other examples of the seat or chair usage in reference to rocky heights. Just below the Great Falls on the Kwenitekw on the southern edge of Sokwakik/Sokoki country, and at the southern terminus of the Pocumtuck Range at Wequamps/Mount Sugarloaf (read Marge Bruchac's insightful explanation of the landscape here), there is a striking prospect of the river valley and surrounding hills from a sheer red sandstone bluff in South Deerfield. The bare ledges and strong profile form yet another landmark to orient an approaching canoe paddler on the River, or a traveler on one of the many footpaths converging at the Falls a couple miles upstream. Just under the brow, there is a lookout point known as King Philip's Seat, referring to Pokanoket-Wampanoag sachem Metacom/King Philip. There are several legendary King Philip's Seats in New England, and while this lookout's toponymic genesis may not have a solid basis in fact, Metacom was indeed very much present in the area, during the intense war that bears his name, and the site meets anyone's need for an elevated, comprehensive perspective. A mindful consideration of the mountain's lofty vantage and its possible indigenous uses, written by area columnist Gary Sanderson, was featured in The (Greenfield) Recorder this past summer. His provocative thoughts lead us closer to the reconnections we are considering to the north at Mount Wantastiquet.
A souvenir postcard from the early 20th century and an extract from the Automobile Journal, Volume 35 (1913) promote the site's legendary past.
One more area example can be found a little to the west in the Berkshires, in Mahican country, near the Massachusetts/New York border. Yokun Seat (2133′) is a peak in the Yokun Ridge, west of Lenox, MA and overlooking the valley of the winding Ausatenuk/Housatonic ("place beyond the mountain") River – in Abenaki, Awasadenik, with the same meaning. The mountain's name is explained in the Wikipedia entry for Yokun Ridge: "The name Yokun derives from Jehoiakim Yokun, a Native American of the Mahican tribe. As early as the 19th Century, Yokun's name was applied to "Yokun Seat," a summit of Lenox Mountain. This term was accepted by the Board of Geographic Names in 1894." This Jehoiakim, Mahican-ized to "Yokun," seems to have been a namesake for the community-accepted Dutch settler Jehoiakim Van Valkenburg, who moved to the area from Kinderhook, NY about 1728. It seems that Yokun's name may have been affixed to the Berkshires peak partly as a reflection of his significant land speculation, but again, we find the word "seat" applied to the top of a mountain.
Now for a final example, much farther away and set in a distinctly different cultural and language family, but demonstrating an overlap in cultural practices: Indian Seats in the Sawnee Mountain (1963′) Preserve. Forty miles north of Atlanta, this is Northern Creek/Muscogean country; the Cherokee were very late arrivals in the late eighteenth century. Notwithstanding that, the mountain is said to be named for a Cherokee man (Saunee or Sawnee) who resided in the immediate area until he was forced to relocate far to the west, with his people, under Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act. The Indian Seats themselves are described thus: "…carved in the lofty, sheer face of the mountaintop [there] are several natural depressions in the rock, legendarily used by local tribes as seats for lookouts and meditation for many centuries." Some sources state that there is evidence of the site being used for ceremonial purposes at least as early as 2500 BCE by various Woodland cultures.
Indian Seats outlook at Sawnee Mountain Preserve, Forsyth County, Georgia
Two chapters which give some background, from an anthropological and archaeological viewpoint, about the spiritual significance of "mountaintop seats" can be found here and here: BernbaumSacredMountains. These are outside observers, but their remarks are pertinent.
Here I leave this trail up Mount Wantastiquet, and will let the mountain speak for itself, under the dome of the sky and encircled by the horizon.
Those who come afterward to these places, unaware, or arriving after the stories have been hidden, altered, suppressed, or rewritten, may not see what is present. Perhaps their perception is simply lacking, or more likely, has been co-opted by another way of being in the world, the way of separation and objectification. This lack of individual or systemic awareness does not mean these other, original ways are displaced or irrelevant. Those possibilities persist, seeking only acknowledgement and reciprocity from those who seek to be present.
Wantastegok: Tracing the Stories
Edward Augustus Kendall, "Travels Through the Northern Part of the United States, in the Years 1807 and 1808," Vol. 3, 1809, p. 207.
It's time to begin a concerted effort to post markers from the many story trails I am tracing, some faint, some bold, as a part of the project I call "Reclaiming Wantastegok." Some are drawn from the (often scant) written European record, others are extrapolated from the land itself. This an exercise in, as Lisa Brooks has phrased it, "reclaiming Native space." Stories are told, changed, omitted, discarded, forgotten, fabricated. But they are all still here, responsive to those who will listen – this is the land where they originate – they are of this landscape. Indeed, indigeneity is expressed as that which is original to a place – in fact, inseparable from it – and they are the aspects, be they human or other-than-human, that define it, with its complex relationships, as distinct.
Some of these traces may lead in several directions. Others may circle back and overlap. Still others may open up into a network of connections as yet unseen. Together, they can help to re-imagine, restore, reclaim, and revitalize what it means to "be this place." The Sokwakiak Abenaki are the original people of this place. These understandings are for/with/of/from them – the Aln8bak, their ancestors, their allies, and all of their relations. Kchi wliwni – with great thanks. K'wlibaamkani – good travels for you.
Greenfield Recorder: Native American Heritage Day Observed
Indigenous tribes called Franklin County home long before European colonizers landed in North America. Native American Heritage Day, observed since 2008 on the day after Thanksgiving, is an opportunity to recognize and discuss that history.
"We have this single day, Friday, Native American Heritage Day, which was designated by an act of Congress in 2008 — relatively recently," said Rich Holschuh, who is from the Elnu Abenaki tribe. Abenaki homeland ran north to the St. Lawrence River in Canada, and south to Deerfield, with Turners Falls being "the nexus for all tribes in that area," according to Holschuh. [note: I (Rich) am not a citizen of Elnu, but I do work extensively with them and others in the contemporary community.]
Holschuh also serves on the Vermont Commission on Native American Affairs.
The resolution for Native American Heritage Day, signed by President George W. Bush, acknowledges Native people "for their contributions to the United States as local and national leaders, artists, athletes, and scholars." Local advocates focus on a darker side of American history.
"It is with great sadness that we look back, just on the last 340 years, since this peaceful area of shared resources was witness to a terrible massacre of refugees from the regional war that was going on over who would control the land," said David Detmold, representing the Nolumbeka Project, a non-tribal organization advocating for New England's Native American tribes.
Detmold referred to The Battle of Great Falls, a decisive fight of King Philip's War that took place on the banks of the Connecticut River between present-day Gill and Montague. He noted the Nolumbeka Project is part of a group studying the battle through a National Parks Service grant.

Don't do it!! It's a trap!
Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena
Do it!
The full glasses pack and full colors pack are each $5.99 on PSN (or whatever $6 of MSP is on XBL). Significantly cheaper than the Japanese versions, which were 800 yen each.
Just got it for 360 liking it so far just going thru trials. First Atlus game I have ever played.
Just watch the anime… The games are 100 hours of time management social simulator and dungeon crawling.
rocking that black kanji online
How's the online guys? Heard the PSN one was really solid.
Picking my copy in about 4 hours.
360 is ass
only 2 bars and below for me for both rank/player matches
They're not -that- long.
Also, p4 is really good! Don't play p3 unless you play p3p.
Can the list of gameplay BGM be expanded at all? Please say yes.
Oh yes they are. I average over 100 hours every time I play them.
But that 100 hours is way way way more enjoyable than any time spent with the anime.
I also prefer P3: FES to P3P. (Yes, I have no problem with the AI party members.)
Not a fan of how slow the recovery on Short Hop is.
So it's known the X360 version has online problems and the PS3 doesn't.
How's the PS3 online overall? Still deciding which console to get this for.
[Insert Smash Bros Melee joke here]
I haven't played this game, so I keep lurking this topic for feed back.
Keep posting, assholes. The online doesn't work, and no one here has friends. What can you'll be possibly doing?!?!?
I thought this game was $49.99. Full price is apparently $59.99 (or so Gamestop says). Damnit, I'm damn near broke as it is.
"Shitty" unpatched netcode on 360>BB netcode from the 2 hours i played against randoms
Oh shit, he went there, lol.
Thank you guys for the warning…Disgaea is enough RPG for me at this time.
Funny thing about it is that I realized when playing against Asian players it's a 3-4 bar match yet playing against U.S. players results only 0-2. don't know if it's just only me but seriously wtf
I come from a Street Fighter background with SF4 as my first and only game that I've played very seriously. So I have Persona 4 right now and it's frying my mind. This button lay out, air combos where you have to double jump to keep the combo going, and even pressing so many buttons one after another is so foreign to me that I'm feeling overwhelmed right now.
I don't mean to say the game is hard. It's just so different then what I'm use to but I'm going to stick it out. Whether I like it or not, I want to actually learn how to play it even if it doesn't end up being a game I take seriously.


text: Broker said to be 'one of life's good blokes' Friends and colleagues have paid tribute to Auckland Insurance director Harvey Kerr who passed away suddenly this week and was laid to rest yesterday. Kerr, who had more than 30 years' industry experience, was a popular character at industry events and was well known for his generosity and helping those just starting out. Auckland Insurance, a family business which he ran with wife Chris Kerr, is a member of Insurance Advisernet NZ (IANZ) which is helping staff to maintain the business over the coming weeks. IANZ director David Crawford said Kerr would be greatly missed. "Harvey was a larger than life character who spoke his mind but had a heart of gold," he said. "His clients loved him and there are many stories of Harvey going out of his way to help people." Crawford said Kerr had been battling a lung condition for some time but had stabilised until last weekend when he was admitted to hospital. He died suddenly but peacefully in Auckland Hospital on 30 November. "At his funeral yesterday there was story after story of people recounting adventures with Harvey and they all had a common theme – he was one of life's good blokes," Crawford said.

Pattern Pieces: I Fall to Pieces
Happy Wednesday! Hope you're having a great week!
Here's a super quick card I made a couple of weeks ago with the new SU Occasions Mini stamp called Pattern Pieces. It *almost* makes me want to sew again, but not quite! ha! After I stamped the image...I seem to be stuck on white cards lately...I decided to write "I fall to pieces" on the side, not sure why! Inside I wrote "without you." I can only imagine giving this to dh and I'm sure he won't *get* the pattern pieces, but oh well!
Better dash, or attempt something as close to a dash as this old body will do! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!

I have looked at this stamp and tried to figure all the ways I could use it, but then you come along and BAM, just make it a focal point and it all makes sense.
Great job.

Very Cute Angie. I too love the white card base, it's just so crisp and clean. This probably says something about our psyche right now. :-)

Love the sentiment you added!! (And you have a nice handwriting, too!)
I love this stamp, not sure why, but I was very excited about getting it when I saw the mini. I've mainly used it for backgrounds so far, but I need to do more with it!
I have made one where the sentiment says "To a super boss" because in French, the word for boss and pattern is the same. Some sentiments just do not translate well, though...

okay, today has been pretty crazy and it's only 8:40 in the morning! My family and I have made the decision to go to London for 8 wks for Other Guy's job. Needless to say, there is a lot that will go into being away from home that long. Combine that with family coming in town, Curly's 5th birthday and just life in general...it makes things pretty crazy.
I woke up this morning instantly feeling overwhelmed. The control-freak in me wants everything in line, in order, packed, perfect and wonderful. Let's just say it's not that way...YET!
After working out (yep, that's a whole other topic that we'll discuss later!), I got showered, put on the war paint and came downstairs for my bible study. I wanted to share with you what God hand delivered to me today! It is soooooooo cool! I am working on a book for the Women of Faith company called Managing your moods. I know, you men out there are saying OH BROTHA! But stay with me...
Today's lesson was entitled Scattered, My spirit is overwhelmed within me; my heart within me is distressed." Psalm 143:4 Pretty cool so far, right!
Here is an excerpt from the book: "Sometimes, I can be pretty scatterbrained, but when it comes right down to it, I don't like things scattered. I don't like my house scattered with clutter...I prefer to have all my ducks in a row - organized, neat, tidy and predictable." Does this sound like me or WHAT!?
Then I read in Psalms 102:1-2 Hear my prayer, O Lord; let my cry for help come to you. Do not hide your face from me when I am in distress. Turn your ear to me; when I call, answer me quickly. I just love that...David in all his "Davidness", a man after God's own heart, cried out to his God, my God, OUR GOD! He even asked that God would answer him quickly.
This week has all been compounded by weight gain, excessive weight gain (even though I am working out!), depression, not feeling pretty, not feeling like enough, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR...I'm sure you get the picture. But even David cried out in anguish! His emotions were scattered all over the place and he just poured himself out and asked that God pick up the pieces and to please do it quickly! (See guys, even men are scatter brained with emotions!)
So as a precious songs says, I am going to arise and be comforted, for the Lord, he is good to the weary. And even the young heart can tire and fall but he knows them all! For the Lord, he will renew their strength and they will soar on wings as eagles. They will run and NEVER grow weary. They will walk and not grow faint. For the Lord, he IS GOOD. Lift your eyes to the heavens for the creator is living in you! Come surrender as you are and know that you never strayed too far let his power within you heal your heart. And lift your eyes to spacious skies, let 'em chart your way to fly, spread your wings and fly...for the Lord, he is GOOD!
Peace Out!

Last year the relief of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act (ARRA) had hardly settled in before we began hearing about the "funding cliff". The funding cliff is a sharp decline in ARRA money after the first year. Most states, including Delaware, used about 60% of the money in the first year.
Economic recovery in terms of putting people back to work is coming slowly. With ARRA money running out, one of the first groups of workers to fall off the infamous cliff will be educators. Today, about 300,000 education jobs are being supported by ARRA. Many states have already announced layoffs for thousands of educators: California 23,000 positions; Illinois 20,000 educators; Colorado reductions expected to hit 20% of staff in some districts; Michigan will have thousands of layoffs and more than 100 districts insolvent; New Jersey will see layoffs in more than 90% of their districts. These are a few examples chosen from flipping through a list that is loaded with casualties.
Here in Delaware, math and reading specialists are no longer funded in the budget. There are more than 200 of these educators in the state. Also, some districts who are having difficulty dealing with cost shifts to local districts in the budget, may resort to layoffs.
Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa has an answer to these scary predictions. He has filed F3206, the Keep Our Educators Working Act. The purpose of the act is to give the economy another hand up until it is able to walk on its own. He proposes doing this by saving educator jobs with a $29 billion piece of legislation that would bring $64 million to Delaware.
In the Great Depression of the 1930s, it took several federal stimulus programs over a course of years to get the economy producing jobs again.
If you believe this Act is a worthwhile cause, please call our Delaware senators and ask them to co-sponsor with Senator Harkin.
Senator Tom Carper: (202) 224-2441
Senator Ted Kaufman (202) 224-5042

if he's going to buy a player, he might as well just buy a PS3. They're still the most reliable and best-made Blu-ray players you can get. You can get some cheaper, but they're crappily made and won't last long. We've had Blu-ray for a year and a half now (courtesy of our PS3) and I love it. Isn't it interesting being married to a tech-geek-boy? :)

Earlier this year we went to Africa, and I'm finally getting round to sorting through the thousands of photos I took. Like these ones.

This little girl's uncle took me to visit his village. The Maasi have chosen to live very traditionally. Their homes are made of mud and they don't use electricity for lighting or cooking (although they have phones and Facebook). He asked me to take a "beautiful" photo of her, but she wasn't sure.

Dustin Charrier: The Young Gun of Pro Runabout open
Dustin Charrier: The Young Gun of Pro Runabout open
By KAY SYKES
Special to
Today's News-Herald
Published Sunday, July 10, 2011 6:06 AM MST
LAKE HAVASU CITY All young guns of racing have to begin somewhere. For Dustin Charrier the life of eating and breathing the world of personal watercraft racing began at the age of six, when his father, Dean Charrier, started to get involved with the racing scene. By the time he was 8-years-old, Dustin Charrier traveled from state to state as his father raced the IJSBA National Tour.
Kay Sykes Photo/Special to News-Herald. Dustin Charrier, of Orlando, Fla., races the professional division during the 2010 Quakysense World Finals on Lake Havasu. Charrier was able to go home with a second place trophy.
In 2003, at the age of 13, Dustin started out in the junior ski class. By the time he turned 16-years-old he was ready for the world of high speed and power when Dean put him on board a runabout for the beginner class at a small local race in Ohio. Quickly moving up in ranking he was able to finish out the year with a world title in the Novice Runabout Limited class.
In 2008, Dustin and his family were settled in the small town of Noblesville, Ind., with a population just shy of 52,000, but bigger and better things were waiting for them in Florida, and the opportunity for more practice time and training for his next national or world title.
It was that same year that the young man went on to win another world title, but this time at the pro-am level, in the runabout limited class.
2010 was the year for Dustin. Being a year older and more in shape he was able to join the ranks with the best of the best in the Pro Runabout open class. Winning sporadically on the local circuit, Dustin said he was focused on one thing a world championship his first year as a pro.
The possibility was there. A Yamaha Factory team rider, Dustin had the best in the business supporting him Deans team building him the fastest watercraft possible and Riva Racing providing the parts needed to make that happen.
The reward was a National Championship and an impressive second place finish at the 2010 Quakysense World Finals.
My goal ever since I started racing runabout was to place top three in the world in Pro-Runabout Open. I came in second overall, Dustin said.
Currently Deans team rider, Dustin is racing the 2011 UWP/IJSBA National Tour, running fourth in points behind the more seasoned professionals of Dustin Farthing, Erminio Iantosca and Trey Frame.
I grew up watching guys like Dustin Farthing and Chris MacClugage battle it out on the race course. I used to love watching the pros race on the tour. Ive been around it for most of my life, so racing and traveling feel like a normal life to me, Dustin said.
Racing is not the only important thing for him though. Dustin is currently enrolled at Valencia Community College in Orlando and will be attending the University of Central Florida next summer, with his sights on a degree in engineering.
I am so proud of him, how he has managed to maintain all of his grades during all these years of racing and continues to do so through his college years. I am a very proud mom, said Donna Charrier.
Round 4 of the National tour was scheduled to take place this weekend in Rochester, N.Y., however the races were canceled. The next stop is scheduled for July 16-17 in Belle River, Alberta, Canada.
Dustin said he intends to participate again this year in the 2011 Quakysense World Finals, Oct. 1-9, at Crazyhorse Beach.

I've been in a funk lately. And it's not just me… when I asked Hot Chocolate Guy how he was this morning, he told me without hesitation that he'd be lying if he said he was doing great, that he was just keeping it in neutral. Usually when people you don't really know answer you literally it's kind of annoying, but today I was glad to hear something different.
I keep hearing things like haven't heard from you, wondering what you've been up to, different versions of you're fucking up. I drove the wrong way down a one way street yesterday, and the opportunities for metaphor are painfully abundant. (If you put a disclaimer on a cliche, you get to use it and still act like you're being ironic about it, right?) I watched part of Jerry Maguire today and noticed "what if I'm not built like that?" I'm uncomfortable with all of it lately, in every direction that it's coming from. My office has become a landfill; I'm literally just not dealing with anything. It's a definite shift and not toward the positive.
Not sure what to do about this. I do know that I have no interest in becoming one of those serious bloggers who describe their issues in prose and their emotions in colors. Spare me. So no worries, next time we'll be back to stories of me fighting with Comcast or burning the roof of my mouth or something equally tentworthy.
