>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Great race-challenging but interesting routeIn full: Great race, well organised and great support from all the marshalls, lost count but there must have been a marshall every 1/4mile. The route was perfect, and included some nice coastal sights and the white cliffs and beaches. Wasn't expecting the hills but this only added to interesting route and build up to a spring marathon.I'll definitely be coming back and bringing freindsDate of review: March 2, 2015
In short: OutstandingIn full: OK, so i'm biased since i ran a PB, but considering a few steady inclines and killer of a hill between 2mile and 3mile, this is still a quick course. The final mile is a tough long road and tests you mentally.2014 edition of CHM brought out the heat and what a great day it was. Crowds were out in their numbers enjoying the day and were full of support. Provisional results were up near near HQ almost instantly.This is my second year of CHM and thoroughly enjoyed it all over againDate of review: March 17, 2014
In short: Good race-potential for a great oneIn full: Despite a few minor things here and there, this race was well organised and the spirits were high.'Running and Riding' have organised many great races including the A20 path and Downs race, that stands great on any fellows race calender. Headcorn 2014 being its first race wasn't without a few creases that'll iron out in time. The mud at the start is clearly related to recent weather and the HQ, I've read was a last minute job as they were let down elsewhere...i digress.Fantastic community spirit will see this small village half marathon become a quick success in the years it has ahead of it. A quick course with well stocked stations, chip timing and a good looking medal. Bargain Date of review: February 25, 2014
In short: Mud and Hills and LapsIn full: Mud, hills and laps in the same sentence....but really enjoyed the challenging course. Having been given access to the Olympic 2012 mountain bike course for a second year, the 3 laps consisted of a steep inclines, fast muddy slippy declines and plenty of rocks. The hills were demanding but not enough to put you off. Marshalls made the rain easily bearable and the medal was a nice souvenir. Being the time of year for a coldness, i was disappointed there were no refreshments for tea and coffee, and the distance was cut short due to the recent weather. Both these facts would not put me off for entering in the future. Date of review: January 27, 2014
In short: A muddy good raceIn full: I completed this last year in the snow and found it very challenging. After changing the course slightly and running it mild weather with plenty of mud, it felt like a completely different beast all together. I loved this last year, and loved it again this year. the hill at the end of the course was horrific. Would i do it again? HELL YES! It's the law!Date of review: January 20, 2014
In short: Could be challenging but thoroughly enyoyable In full: The rain at the beginning of the race was horrific but didn't dampen anyone's spirits once we got going. The drums at the start line got the heart pumping as the rain fell.I really enjoyed the multi-terrain, it definately added to the experience. The water stations were well stocked of water, juice, mulled wine and brandy, gels, mince pies, sweets, jaffa cakes and bananas.A friend of mine who raced in front of me mentioned he ran the shingle on the return and it was almost knee deep. When i came to this section, a diversion had been put in place. This was my only gripe for the race and in my opinion, should be looked at for the future.I can only assume i was first on the diversion and i was told to follow the yellow triangles. They were spaced too far from each other, and i can only assume the turning point was marked well enough. Me and few runners had to find our own way back to the promenade and rejoin the race. There weren't any marshals on this part of the course and i think it could have been organised better. This resulted in covering an additional third of a mile. Not a huge amount but a few minutes worth at least. I did however, really enjoy this race and did score a marathon PB. I'll definitely be booking a place next yearDate of review: December 23, 2013
In short: HEATWAVE made dfficult runningIn full: The race was ok, course was very accurate and there were no major issues. The race started on time. The heat was almost unbearable for me. Had it been cooler, i would have been much happier with my finish time but that's beyond anyones control. Make it a bit earlier perhaps?The only issues for me was the control of the traffic, i was under the impression it was traffic free but felt somewhat under a lot of pressure when an Audi was sitting on my arse trying to pass.Overall, a challenging HOT race Date of review: July 1, 2013
In short: HOME RUNIn full: I wasn't so sure about doing laps in my home town, i thought i'd get bored, but i actually enjoyed it very much. Had the weather been a bit nicer, it may have brought extra crowds out and made the delay at the beginning a bit easier to bear.However, apart from the last few miles which took on half the parkrun course, the course was very flat and i took 10mins off my half mara PB. all my friends also gained a PB. if i could recommend a race, it'd be this one. My only gripe was the confusion and crowding at the finishers funnel. Date of review: June 10, 2013
In short: Unique setting, good PB potential but tough in placesIn full: Weather was bitter, but to get a chance to run around the grounds and test track of the FORD Dunton Test Track was a unique opportunity for any motor enthusiast. Cambered sections on the 2 lap race were pretty tough, especially on the backside of the track which hosted a pretty steep incline.Besides what I would consider a tough race in places, 3 friends and I all managed to hit PBs. Will definitely be attending next yearDate of review: February 25, 2013
In short: Full of spirit but challenging conditionsIn full: Despite the snow making the course tricky and unique, the scenery was outstanding as were the marshalls high spirits for the day. Hats off to the marshalls for standing out in it for hours on end. Very well organised and a great sense of acheivementDate of review: January 21, 2013

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (459 votes).
In short: Nice challenging 10k with good hillsDate of review: May 23, 2007
In short: long hills, good start to the running year,secure baggage area could be better.Date of review: April 23, 2007
In short: great raceIn full: This was my first 10km race after just having done 5km race for life runs in the past. love visiting Longleat so it was a great place to start my 10km running career! Got a PB!!!(and a medal) The hills were a bit vicious and the dogs were a pain but other than that a great run. The portaloos were grim!! Date of review: March 2, 2007
In short: Great scenery and a good atmosphere - good for all standards though you won't get a PB on those hills!Date of review: February 23, 2007
In short: Too expensive at £15 (for a 10K!), but a good challenging race, having to run a monster hill twice, plus one smaller one.Date of review: February 18, 2007
In short: Stunning scenery, killer hills, will definitely do it again!Date of review: February 14, 2007
In short: This was only our third event (my partner who suffers from arthritis found the hills very tough) but we were cheered all the way to the finish and made to feel as important as the race winner, What a fantastic crowd and fellow runners. Date of review: February 12, 2007
In short: Undulating is the understatement of all time. The hills are "challenging" - especially the third one.Date of review: February 10, 2007
In short: Fast becoming one of my favourite events.In full: Despite coming so early in the year, when my fitness is still wanting, this is now one of my favourite races. A beautiful setting and a good entry, and the weather has been ideal for the past 2 years. Not the place for a PB and the hills do require a tactical approach (funny how the first one hurt the most! It didn't seem half as bad second time around). Must start training sooner next year and watch what I eat over Christmas! Special thanks to the young girl who shouted out "Come On number 39" after 7k. This was really nice as there were not that many supporters on the day. Date of review: February 9, 2007
In short: Challenging hilly run, well worth enteringIn full: As this was only my 3rd 10K I was worried that I might be out of my depth but I was pleased to see that there were runners of all levels. There didn't seem to be much atmosphere or am I just unsociable? Not much encouragement around the course or at the finish line. (apart from the bloke on the tannoy. I was going as fast as I could !)I didn't like the fact that there were several owners running with dogs. I kept looking over my shoulder when they were around. (I am frightened of dogs) Overall a well organised event. Obviously very hilly (I knew there was one hill at 1K and 7K but nobody mentioned the other one that seemed to stretch for miles!). I'll be back next year.Date of review: February 9, 2007

Topic: Mongrel yaml configuration?
Hi guys,
Me again with a question about Mongrel.. I've been using it to serve some of my webpages (with mixed success) but now I'm trying to move the commandline options into a config file.. Here's what I did.
First I tried to start mongrel from my home dir rather than the application root, which worked:
mongrel_rails start -c [path] -d -p 8001
Then I stopped mongrel again and repeated that line and added the -G option to save the config file:
mongrel_rails start -c [path] -d -p 8001 -G ~/config.yml
But now when I try to start the mongrel server from my home dir it doesn't seem to change its starting directory properly.. Here's what happens:
~$ mongrel_rails start -C config.yml
!!! Path to log file not valid: log/mongrel.log
mongrel::start reported an error. Use mongrel_rails mongrel::start -h to get help.
Ofcourse [path]/log does exist. Does this mean the change dir option doesn't work when using a config file? Do I have to manually cd to each application root and start mongrel?
Here's the config file itself, I didn't modify it from what mongrel auto-generated:
- mongrel
:timeout: 0
:log_file: log/mongrel.log
:pid_file: log/mongrel.pid
:num_processors: 1024
:docroot: public
:host: 0.0.0.0
:port: "8001"

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (9 votes).
In short: tough,very tough,but great funIn full: Well organised,great natural chalenges.Didn't realize there could be quite so much mud around a 10k course.Hard as nails, but great laugh,will put it in my diary for next yearDate of review: April 14, 2013
In short: Amazing, Fantastic, So much fun, never laughed so much.Date of review: April 13, 2013
In short: Great natural challenges, what cross-country should really be like! Hard work in a good way!In full: The course was the right kind of challenging: proper hills, streams, a waterfall to cross and plenty of mud!The best/worst part was the icy cold pond we went through the middle of. Getting cold water up to the waist made the quads a real challenge to get back into gear!Yes, some people went off the course. I think that the nature of the terrain mean that some people just missed some of the tapes in the trees. In thick leaf litter like that, once some-one's gone wrong they leave a wrong trail for others to follow!More marshalls would have helped at some key spots. I spoke to the organisers afterwards and they had had some of their marshalls pull out at the last minute, so that was unfortunate.To be fair to the organisers, the only problem I could point out was the people making mistakes/taking short-cuts. You can't line an entire 10km race with officials though...Great to be able to park next to the event centre, toilets that didn't run out of paper, proper goody bags and a slick registration team.I'll be heading to their next one.Date of review: December 7, 2012
In short: After a long, fast downhill start we soon came across the mud. Hills very steep and slippy, not too long though. Loads of deep puddles but the worse being the icy lake!In full: No chance of a 10k PB but you don't expect it on a course like this! Marking could have been abit better but that can be soon rectified. All in all a good day out.Date of review: December 4, 2012
In short: Very Cold, Very Muddy, Very Challenging, Organisation could be better, but I would do it againIn full: I really enjoyed this "mudstacle" race yesterday. Comments about the markers were valid it could be a bit confusing in parts, although there was only really one bit at the end after the last deep pool that I got confused - I think it was having loads of other arrows for the 4x4 route that added to the confusion. A few kinks that can be more than sorted out for next year. It might also be worth mentioning in the literature beforehand that a lot of climbing is involved, for me it was a nice challenging surprise, but I would imagine that not everyone would necessarily feel the same. It would also have been good to have photographers at the dips of despair and the horrible hills! All the other runners were really friendly and helpful - I definitely needed help getting out of boggy bits and up slippery hills at parts.Not a chance of getting a PB for your 10K though as I added a huge 45 minutes to my usual 10K time with all the climbing and running through ice!Great race though - was more scared before than any marathon that I've ever done, but I survived and can't wait to do it again!I've put a more detailed review on my blog with some of the pictures that the official photographers took. http://iwasa90steenager.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/breaking-through-pain-barrier.html Date of review: December 2, 2012
In short: Basil Fawlty would be proudIn full: Superb race for the first 4 miles before descending into chaos. Insufficient marshals coupled with confusing/non-existent signage led to utter confusion. At one point there were arrows pointing in 3 directions. I ended up getting lost and running 9km by the end in a 10km race however lots of people ended up doing even less than this. From a top 20 finish I ended up losing 20/30 places by the end. I really dont understand how hard it can be to organise a 10km race properly. On top of this the course description was misleading. The 'horrible hills' consisted of 2 hills you could run up! Nowhere near as hard as it made out.ShambleathonDate of review: December 1, 2012
In short: Awesome challenge, but needed a few more marshalsIn full: Very tough course in a really nice location. Made all the more difficult by numerous icy ponds and muddy bogs. A real challenge.It's fair to say, though, that the course wasn't always obvious - I'm pretty sure I missed a section out towards the end, and several others did, from what I heard others saying afterwards. Needed a few more marshals I think.Date of review: December 1, 2012
In short: When 30 runners are standing around trying to work where the course is, then something has gone wrong with the organisation.Date of review: December 1, 2012
In short: Insane natural obstacle race, run in freezing December weather... Be prepared to finish bruised!Date of review: December 1, 2012

You can view Thes du Japon's brewing suggestions by following the links (first post) above to the specific teas. You will notice that they suggest a HIGH ratio, greater than 1 gram : 1 ounce (30 ml).
I found that I prefered the more moderate 1:1 ratio, but this is subjective. Remember, you have 10 grams of each tea, so I would recommend at least two sessions so you can play around a bit. (Oku Midori has 9.5 grams ... not sure why I was a tad short on this one)
I did brew the Oku Midori at a higher ratio and liked it this way!
PAY VERY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE TIME SUGGESTIONS FOR THE MICRO-FERMENTED or you will have an unpleasant experience, it can be made bitter very easily. This tea requires very short brew times, and I prefered 1:1 versus the higher ratio recommended.
For all the teas, I liked 158* in a preheated pot. Oku I also liked cooler ... same with the Micro-fermented. Sae Midori can be brewed at various temps with satisfactory results.
Kamairicha ... I have yet to figure this one out. I am keeping an open mind, but Kamairicha is usually not my cuppa. I prefer its all steamed cousin, Guricha. I am open to suggestions on this one!!!

Apple has announced financial results for its fiscal 2014 first quarter ended December 28, 2013. Thanks to holiday season and great product lineup, the company managed to report a record quarter. At the same time, the firm experienced a drop in profit margins, an alarming sign which means that the company has to spend more to earn more.
Apple posted record quarterly revenue of $57.6 billion and quarterly net profit of $13.1 billion, or $14.50 per diluted share. These results compare to revenue of $54.5 billion and net profit of $13.1 billion, or $13.81 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter. Gross margin was 37.9% compared to 38.6% in the year-ago quarter. International sales accounted for 63% of the quarter's revenue.
"We are really happy with our record iPhone and iPad sales, the strong performance of our Mac products and the continued growth of iTunes, Software and Services. We love having the most satisfied, loyal and engaged customers, and are continuing to invest heavily in our future to make their experiences with our products and services even better," said Tim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple.
Apple sold 51 million iPhones, an all-time quarterly record, compared to 47.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The expanded geography of sales as well as holiday season positively impacted shipments of the iPhone.
In the U.S. market, Apple remains the leading smartphone manufacturer, with iPhone accounting for 41% of smartphone subscribers in the three-month period ending in November, according to ComScore. In other parts of the world sales of iPhone also grew significantly in the Q4 2013.
During the conference call with financial analysts Apple admitted that sales of the iPhone 5c were well below the company's initial expectations.
Apple also sold 26 million iPads during the quarter, also an all-time quarterly record, compared to 22.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Apple said that during the quarter it could not fulfill demand for iPads due to simultaneous launch of two new models – the iPad Air and the iPad mini with retina displays. Another sales driver in the quarter was iPad mini's price-cut to $299.
iPad sales were traditionally high in the USA and very robust in China, where sales more than doubled year over year. Apple also experienced strong iPad sales growth in the Middle East, Latin America, Russia, and parts of Western Europe.
The Company sold 4.8 million Macs, compared to 4.1 million in the year-ago quarter, n increase of 19%, making this among our best Mac quarters ever. The growth was driven by significantly increased sales of iMac and MacBook Air, while sales of MacBook Pro also remained strong.
Mac sales grew in each region, led by Europe and greater China.
Sales of iPod personal digital media players dropped to 6.049 million a new low for a holiday quarter. Keeping in mind that functions of the iPod are available on iPhone and iPad, it is not surprising that sales of such devices drop.
Dividends and Predictions
Apple's board of directors has declared a cash dividend of $3.05 per share of the company's common stock. The dividend is payable on February 13, 2014, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2014.
"We generated $22.7 billion in cash flow from operations and returned an additional $7.7 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the December quarter, bringing cumulative payments under our capital return program to over $43 billion," said Peter Oppenheimer, Apple's chief financial officer.
For the second quarter of its fiscal 2014, Apple expects revenue between $42 billion and $44 billion, gross margin between 37% and 38%, operating expenses between $4.3 billion and $4.4 billion and other income/(expense) of $200 million.

As I was browsing the forums just now, I was looking at user info that's posted off to the left of the posts. I was suprised to see how many regular posters have very low point balances. I don't know all the reasons for low points, but one of them is no recent monetary contributions to MaccaCentral.
This site is near and dear to me, so I'm issuing a reminder (challenge?) to all and especially to those who hang out here a lot, listening to the tunes, reading and posting to the forums: if you haven't sent a contribution recently, please do so. Even a little will help Mike out. It's easy to do. Please do your part to keep MaccaCentral alive and well. You know you'd miss it if it wasn't here.

Another round of protests involving United Mine Workers of America and their supporters results in about a dozen arrests in downtown St. Louis.
Several hundred protesters gathered again Tuesday near the federal courthouse, the site of a recent bankruptcy case involving St. Louis-based Patriot Coal. The protesters were peacefully arrested for sitting in the street.
Patriot filed for bankruptcy in July. Protesters are angry about Patriot's plan to cut health-care and retirement benefits. Patriot says the moves are necessary to keep the company afloat.
Similar arrests have occurred at other protests in St. Louis in recent months.

Keriwa Cafe
Aaron Bear Robe was looking to put his unique culinary skills to task and open his own restaurant to feature a fusion of fare influenced by his aboriginal background. The brief was to design a modern space that combined the look of urban country and art deco style overlaid with aboriginal
nuances. The seating was planned around a custom bar, designed with wood slats alternating with frosted cream acrylic panels, back-lit, the inspiration being 1920's art deco Paris. The banquettes were clad in a deep cognac leather with an accent stripe fashioned from a Navajo blanket provided by Aaron. Reclaimed slat walls sourced from a local vintage shop were also clad from behind with frosted cream acrylic and back-lit in keeping with the bar design. Artwork was curated together with Aaron, including panels of birch bark harvested and pressed by Aaron. Industrial machine form was combined to achieve a large the large-scale wall sculpture flanking the east wall.

Eagleton, Terry
Terry Eagleton 1943-
(Full name Terrence Francis Eagleton) English critic, novelist, essayist, nonfiction writer, screenwriter, and playwright.
The following entry presents an overview of Eagleton's career through 1999.
An erudite scholar and influential cultural theorist, Terry Eagleton is widely regarded as the one of the foremost Marxist literary critics on the contemporary academic scene. With the publication of Marxism and Literary Criticism (1976) and Literary Theory (1983), a popular college text, Eagleton won recognition for producing highly informed though accessible works of literary criticism that explore the relationship between literature, history, and society. While Eagleton's Marxist perspective is clearly apparent in his writings, his work also demonstrates a regard for other theoretical approaches such as feminism and psychoanalysis. English by education as well as birth, Eagleton displays a notable concern for the history, politics, and culture of Ireland. By urging critics to move out of the isolation that academia tends to foster, he manifests a desire that criticism be used to promote a more equitable society.
Biographical Information
Eagleton was born in Salford, England, where his father worked as an engineer. He attended local schools before studying at Cambridge University, where he received his B.A. in 1964. He earned his Ph.D. at Cambridge in 1968. While at Cambridge, he worked with the critic Raymond Williams, under whose influence he rejected the orthodoxies of New Criticism, a critical approach that treats the literary text as autonomous and unconnected to moral, historical, or political realities. Eagleton served as a fellow in English at Cambridge from 1964 to 1969 until moving to Oxford University. He was married from 1966 to 1976. At Oxford, he became a fellow and tutor in Poetry, a position that he held until 1989, when he became a lecturer in Critical Theory. Eagleton continues to work at Oxford, holding the post of Thomas Warton professor of English and Literature, which he received in 1992.
Major Works
Eagleton's writings reflect his interest in examining ideologies as they are expressed in literature. The tool with which he prefers to explore ideologies is Marxist literary theory, which takes into account—unlike New Criticism—the relationships that historical, political, and social conditions have to works of literature. Eagleton's theoretical stance, while it has not remained static during his career, is apparent in his first book, The New Left Church (1966). In this work he combines literary criticism, Marxist political analysis, and Catholic theology in an attempt to reconcile Roman Catholicism with socialist humanism. With Shakespeare and Society (1967), he released his first book of criticism on a traditional literary topic. Demonstrating his rejection of New Criticism, Eagleton refuses to regard Shakespeare's work as an autonomous entity; instead, he treats his writings as inseparable from Elizabethan social issues. Investigating the conflict between individualism and social responsibility in Shakespeare's later plays, Eagleton argues that while Shakespeare was actually a political conservative who had an interest in maintaining the contemporary social order, his presentation of individualism and sexual desire undermines the conventional structures of law and marriage. Eagleton revisited this subject in William Shakespeare (1986).
In The Body as Language (1970), Eagleton confronts the human alienation that capitalism creates by advocating cooperation between Christianity and revolutionary socialism. Following this book, the author was not to return to Christian doctrine as a major topic in his writings. Instead, for his next two books Eagleton trained his Marxist theory on specific literary figures. Exiles and Emigrés (1970) examines why so much important twentieth-century English literature has been written by non-English authors such as Joseph Conrad, T. S. Eliot, Henry James, and James Joyce. Myths of Power (1975) looks at the work of the Brontë sisters in light of the emerging industrial class of their time. Eagleton's next work, Marxism and Literary Criticism, exerted a significant impact on the practice of literary criticism. Here Eagleton argues that the artist does not "create" something from nothing, but instead "produces" a work that is determined by historical and ideological conditions. In addition to presenting the concept of the author as producer, Eagleton also considers the relationships between form and content and that of the writer and social commitment. Asserting in Criticism and Ideology (1976) that Marxism is the only methodology free of the ideological bias that other analytical approaches entail, Eagleton maintains that the goal of criticism is to reveal the ideological forces that make up a text. In Walter Benjamin (1981), Eagleton argues that Benjamin's revolutionary criticism has not been given proper attention. He also displays in this work an interest in feminism. In The Rape of Clarissa (1982) Eagleton applied a feminist approach, in addition to Marxist and psychoanalytic theories, to his interpretation of the eighteenth-century novel Clarissa by Samuel Richardson.
Eagleton is perhaps best known for Literary Theory, which has become a popular instructional text among academics. In this work, Eagleton not only surveys such major literary theories as structuralism, semiotics, and phenomenology, but also discusses the historical and ideological conditions behind each theory to demonstrate its limitations as well as its significance. Eagleton also contends that students would benefit from a study of rhetoric, as was practiced from antiquity to the eighteenth century. He also favors a cultural discourse that would eradicate the distinctions between literature and non-literature. In The Function of Criticism (1984), which offers a polemical history of the critical establishment from the eighteenth century to the present, Eagleton attempts to sway criticism away from its preoccupation with literary texts and estrangement from society in the interest of returning it to its traditional involvement in cultural politics. In Saints and Scholars (1987), his only novel to date, Eagleton satirically explores the beginnings of modern European thought. Set in Ireland in 1916, the novel involves Irish revolutionary James Connolly, who has escaped his real-life execution, and his encounters with philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein and Bertrand Russell; Leopold Bloom, the protagonist of James Joyce's Ulysses; and Mikhail Bakhtin's brother, Marxist literary critic Nikolai. Besides showing how religious, economic, and political forces affected society in the early twentieth century, their conversations serve as a debate of the theoretical and practical limitations of thought and social action.
Eagleton returned to criticism with The Ideology of the Aesthetic (1990), in which he illustrates how social and political forces influence a society's aesthetic conceptualizations. His analysis considers the work of Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, G. W. F. Hegel, Martin Heidegger, Immanuel Kant, and Friedrich Nietzsche to examine how these forces affect the formation of aesthetic thought. In Ideology (1991), Eagleton scrutinizes the concept of ideology itself and its various manifestations, again providing a survey of major theoretical positions and their proponents in the process. In Heathcliff and the Great Hunger (1995), Eagleton proposes that Heathcliff in Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights was actually a refugee from the great Irish potato famine. In this series of essays, Eagleton confronts what he considers to be a revisionist view of Irish history, one that seeks to diminish the impact of the potato famine and nineteenth-century English politics on the period's writers. Eagleton also addressed issues concerning Irish culture in the essay collection Crazy John and the Bishop (1999). In The Illusions of Postmodernism (1996), Eagleton defends the relevance of Marxist theory against the current preference among critics for postmodernism. He argues that postmodernism, with its view of the world as fragmented and truth as indeterminate, is an inadequate successor to Marxism, which in its critique of capitalism can offer a more concrete moral vision for society.
Critical Reception
Even those colleagues who disagree with Eagleton's Marxist position and interpretation of ideology tend to commend his passionate writing. Eagleton has been praised for his humor and wit as well as for demonstrating a graceful style. In his first major work, Marxism and Literary Criticism, Eagleton was hailed not only for his writing technique but for his concise explication of the obtuse theories of European Marxist critics and his provoking treatment of the author as "producer." He was criticized, however, for a lack of textual examples and for being too self-referential. His second major work, Literary Theory, was similarly lauded by critics for serving as an accessible, comprehensible introduction to its subject. The book was also praised for its consideration of the relationship between literary theories and the ideological conditions in which they arise. On the other hand, many critics rejected his suggestion that literature and literary theory are illusions and that the study of literature be replaced with the study of rhetoric. The Ideology of the Aesthetic and Ideology also elicited considerable critical response, with many commending Eagleton's impressive range and insight into their subjects, and others finding his arguments flawed and merely polemical. His critics notwithstanding, Eagleton remains a prominent literary theorist, one who, having reexamined the tradition of criticism and the role of the critic, has greatly influenced both students and professional academics.

Geoffrey Thurley (review date 24 September 1982)
SOURCE: "Phallic Woman," in New Statesman, September 24, 1982, p. 28.
[In the following review of The Rape of Clarissa, Thurley concludes that the work is "a vigorous and sometimes brilliant book" marred by Eagleton's "dogmatic intensity."]
We can read Clarissa again, says Terry Eagleton, thanks to feminism and post-structuralism. It is now relevant, he argues [in The Rape of Clarissa], because it dramatises the scandal of rape in patriarchal society and opens up the possibility of a fully feminised social order. Eagleton assumes fixed meanings for masculine and feminine throughout. Women are tender, gentle and considerate (though also...

Terence Hawkes (review date 3 June 1983)
SOURCE: "Skull Caps," in New Statesman, June 3, 1983, pp. 24-5.
[In the following review, Hawkes offers positive assessment of Literary Theory.]
As much goad as guide, Terry Eagleton's spirited introduction to literary theory [Literary Theory] has the sharp bite that only a trenchant and tough-minded argument can give. It puts an incisive and persuasive case: that in our society the discourses of literary criticism and of politics share a deep mutual involvement, so that to place something as ideologically sensitive as 'English' at the centre of a system of mass education implies and invokes relationships of real social power. Hence the urgency, the...

Lennard J. Davis (review date 21 January 1984)
SOURCE: "Does Literature Exist?," in Nation, January 21, 1984, pp. 59-60.
[In the following review, Davis offers positive evaluation of Literary Theory, though is skeptical of Eagleton's Marxist ideology and devaluation of literature in favor of other mediums of representation.]
Terry Eagleton's new book is a concise guide to the most interesting and mystifying trends in the study of literature over the last fifty years. Judging from Literary Theory's positive reception in Britain and now America, it answers a need—and answers it well. But as I read along, I kept imagining a TV ad: "Can't decide between hermeneutical and structural approaches to...

Steven G. Kellman (review date Summer 1984)
SOURCE: "Miscellaneous," in Modern Fiction Studies, Vol. 30, No. 2, Summer, 1984, pp. 399-403.
[In the following excerpted review essay, Kellman offers tempered assessment of Literary Theory, concluding that it should be read with a "blend of enthusiasm and wariness."]
Although it mentions neither Wellek nor Warren, Literary Theory: An Introduction seems to aspire to be the Theory of Literature for a poststructuralist world, a more overtly partisan examination of the most influential schools of literary theory in recent decades. A Marxist with wit, Terry Eagleton is magisterial in his deployment of a wide range of ideas, but rarely...

David Montrose (review date 5 October 1984)
SOURCE: A review of The Function of Criticism, in New Statesman, October 5, 1984, p. 33.
[In the following review, Montrose offers positive assessment of The Function of Criticism, though notes its similarity to his earlier work on Walter Benjamin.]
Terry Eagleton's essay [The Function of Criticism] seeks to 'recall criticism to its traditional role'—engagement in cultural politics—from what he considers a position of crisis, where it is narrowly preoccupied with literary texts and estranged from social life through confinement to Academe and 'the literary industry' (public relations branch). Central to his argument is Jürgen...

Andrew Rissik (review date 21 March 1986)
SOURCE: "Having Their Way with Will," in New Statesman, March 21, 1986, pp. 26-7.
[In the following review, Rissik offers negative assessment of William Shakespeare.]
In her slim critical book [Shakespeare], Germaine Greer writes, 'The public duty of the playwright was to bring the caviare of his angelic intellectual exercise within the grasp of those savage hordes, who were quite capable of disrupting performances they could not follow.' In his study [William Shakespeare], Terry Eagleton, who is Tutor and Fellow in English at Wadham College, Oxford, tells us that 'it is difficult to read Shakespeare without feeling that he was almost certainly...

SOURCE: "Recent Studies in Elizabethan and Jacobean Drama," in Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900, Vol. 27, No. 2, Spring, 1987, pp. 321-79.
[In the following excerpted review essay, Howard offers unfavorable assessment of William Shakespeare, which, she concludes, "is a book that overreaches itself."]
The crassly pragmatic purpose of an SEL review is—ugly phrase—"information management." Publication proceeds at such a pace that no one can possibly absorb even a fraction of what is printed on Renaissance drama in a given year. An omnibus review such as this, published soon after the books themselves are published, supposedly gives...

Michael Sprinker (review date Winter 1991)
SOURCE: "After the Revolution: Eagleton on Aesthetics," in Contemporary Literature, Vol. XXXII, No. 4, Winter, 1991, pp. 573-79.
[In the following review of The Ideology of the Aesthetic, Sprinker discusses Eagleton's aesthetic perspective in light of Hegelian philosophy, and finds contradictions in the political aspects of Eagleton's conclusions.]
Having been a reasonably diligent observer of Terry Eagleton's career since the mid 1970s, I remain of two minds about the body of work that has poured forth since Criticism and Ideology—in my view, his most original and significant contribution to literary theory. On the one hand, I greatly admire...

[In the following review, Lyas offers positive evaluation of The Ideology of the Aesthetic, though finds fault in its omission of several key philosophers and Eagleton's conclusion.]
[The Ideology of the Aesthetic], despite qualifications to which I will come, is one of the best reads in philosophy that I have had for many a long year. I turned to it, somewhat co-incidentally, after yet another of my periodic grazings in the fertile meadows of two works which illuminate many of the issues discussed by Eagleton, Bernard...

SOURCE: "Dialectic Without Detail," in Times Literary Supplement, June 28, 1991, pp. 6-7.
[In the following review, Griffiths offers unfavorable assessment of Ideology.]
Though generally admiring William Empson's work, Terry Eagleton regretted that "it lacks … almost any concept of ideology". This is not strictly true: a formulation such as "language is essentially a social product, and much concerned with social relations, but we tend to hide this in our forms of speech so as to appear to utter impersonal truths" (The Structure of Complex Words) states clearly one classic account of ideological function. But you see what Professor-Elect Eagleton...

[In the following review of The Ideology of the Aesthetic, Schusterman praises Eagleton's insight and rhetorical turns, though finds shortcomings in the book's omissions and contradictory assertions.]
The past decade of Anglo-American intellectual history has witnessed literary theory's undeniable emergence as the most influential, ambitious, and institutionally powerful genre of theoretical discourse in the humanities. The fact that it now prefers to call itself simply "theory," as if to encompass and exhaust the...

[In the following review, Wright offers positive assessment of The Ideology of the Aesthetic.]
What R. H. Tawney did for religion, Arnold Hauser for art history, Adorno for music, and Raymond Williams for literature, Terry Eagleton has done for aesthetics: namely, to uncover the ideological motivation that ideology itself exists to conceal. In spite of a modest disavowal he comes challengingly close to doing the same for philosophy. In the favoured definitions, self-confirming premises, chosen controversies, chosen opponents, bland ignorances,...

[In the following review, Lloyd offers unfavorable evaluation of The Ideology of the Aesthetic, though credits Eagleton's elucidation of the work of other major theorists.]
At the time of writing, it is already clear enough to casual observation that Eagleton's Ideology of the Aesthetic has become something of an academic best seller. Accordingly, the usual concerns of an advance review give way here in this rather belated account to an assessment of the work's achievement, made all the more demanding by virtue of the book's wide circulation and probable...

[In the following review of Ideology, Henderson offers analysis of Eagleton's philosophical perspective and critical approach to the delineation of ideology. While citing many shortcomings and contradictions in the work, Henderson writes, "Eagleton's negotiation of this dense and difficult terrain is masterful."]

[In the following review, Soper examines the development of Eagleton's theoretical analysis and socialist perspective in The Ideology of the Aesthetic, drawing attention to the "tensions, ambivalences, irresolutions, in Eagleton's book."]
In Ingmar Bergman's film of The Magic Flute, the camera, throughout the overture, traverses the faces of an audience divided by age, sex, ethnicity and style, but united in its common rapture.

[In the following review, McGowan offers positive evaluation of Ideology, though notes that some of Eagleton's arguments are undermined by equivocation.]
Terry Eagleton has written a remarkable book. To enter the swamps of theorizing about ideology and to shed light invariably on every dense obscurity examined is work that calls to mind the lonely and noble labors of Spenserian and Tennysonian knights. No doubt we view such knightly endeavors with suspicion today, sensitive not only to the quixotic nature of quests for lucidity, but also to the...

Misleading to call it a movement, and still worse to think of it as a program, but we now have seen enough minor literary eruptions to suspect that it is a cultural symptom that bears some reflection: this burst of novel-writing from people who have lived the conceptual life, the life of method and argument, who often carry leather cases, or who give public lectures and contribute...

Ideology: An Introduction presents a conceptual and historical overview of the notion of ideology from the Enlightenment through "post-Marxism." It is lucid, informative, engaging, and well-argued. Although aimed at non-expert readers broadly familiar with debates in critical theory, it may be read productively by anyone from an advanced undergraduate to a specialist in political criticism.

[In the following review, Norris offers positive evaluation of Ideology.]
This book finds Eagleton returning once again to a topic that has often preoccupied his thinking, from the high Althusserian rigor of Criticism and Ideology (1976) to his recent major work on the history of aesthetics as a surrogate form of ideological discourse. Not that he is merely recycling old ideas in a different polemical context. On the contrary, Eagleton's analysis has deepened and evolved over the years through exposure to the various contending schools of post-Althusserian...

[In the following review, Craig offers positive evaluation of Heathcliff and the Great Hunger.]
Terry Eagleton's cast of mind is erudite and ingenious, and his ingenuity is nowhere more in evidence than in the opening essay of this collection. Heathcliff and the Great Hunger superimposes an allegory of Irishness, in the person of Heathcliff himself, over the narrative of Wuthering Heights: this intractable Brontë character, Eagleton says, 'starts out as an image of the famished Irish immigrant, becomes a landless labourer set to work in the Heights, and ends up as a symbol...

Terry Eagleton is a professor of English at Oxford; Roy Foster the professor of Irish history there. Last year, Eagleton launched a violent attack on his colleague, accusing Foster, and Irish historians, of revisionism. There was also a pre-emptive strike against Foster's current project, the biography of W. B. Yeats. Eagleton accused him of raiding literature in a "reductive" manner, "paying only passing attention to the politics and poetics of form".

[In the following review, Donoghue provides summary and tempered analysis of Heathcliff and the Great Hunger.]
"The British don't believe Ireland is real; they just drop their fantasies here." In a wild romance called Saints and Scholars, which appeared in 1987, Terry Eagleton ascribed that assertion to James Connolly, one of the leaders of the Easter Rising, 1916. It is also the main idea of Eagleton's new book.
In his very professorial novel, Eagleton developed the conceit that Connolly, Commandant-General of the Irish Volunteers and the Irish Citizen Army,...

In his "Introduction" to The Ideology of the Aesthetic (1990), Terry Eagleton mentions that he had originally conceived of that work "as a kind of doubled text, in which an account of European aesthetic theory would be coupled at every point to a consideration of the literary culture of Ireland." The daunting potential size of such a work led to his decision to "reserve [it] either for a patented board game, in which players would be awarded points for...

[In the following excerpted review, Cooper offers tempered analysis of Ideology, which he contrasts with Leonard Jackson's The Dematerialisation of Karl Marx.]
Eagleton and [Leonard] Jackson have produced two books that it is tempting to read as symptomatic of the state of Marxist literary theory in the 1990s at a time when 'world Communism has collapsed', (Jackson). Eagleton's anthology of extracts from eighteen writers [Ideology] takes its title from the claim that ideology is indeed the major concern of twentieth-century Marxist and...

Over the last twenty years groundbreaking books by British, Irish, and American academics have shaped a new field of Irish literary and cultural studies. A series of monographic studies in the tradition of Daniel Corkery's Synge and Anglo Irish Literature (1931) have used the oeuvres and careers of particular authors to show how Ireland's social conditions and political tensions...

"Speaking as a hierarchical, essentialistic, teleological, metahistorical, universalist humanist, I imagine I have some explaining to do." Terry Eagleton begins and ends his latest book, The Illusions of Postmodernism, at a disadvantage to which he readily admits. Put at its crudest, postmodernism is in, hip, trendy, sexy. Marxism—or what he now prefers to call socialism—is not.

[In the following review, Mooers offers positive assessment of The Illusions of Postmodernism.]
A grammatically-correct friend explained to me recently that when terms like "Post-Modernism" are written as "Postmodernism" it represents the linguistic equivalent of coming of age. Which, like so many apparently momentous passages in life, may be full of sound and fury, but in the end signify very little. Nevertheless, as Terry Eagleton points out in the preface to this very clever and readable book, "Part of the power of postmodernism is that it exists,...

This combative book [Crazy John and the Bishop] is aimed at unnamed foes. In the small world of Irish Studies, they presumably know who they are. The innocent reader can only guess.
What the enemies are guilty of is less obscure. Terry Eagleton, Warton Professor of English Literature at Oxford, dislikes postmodernism and revisionism applied to Irish culture. He wants the philosophy, poetry and prose written on what he calls "the wrong side of St George's Channel" to be...

Slo Pokes are back! The candies many of us grew up with are making comebacks! Including the caramelly Slo Poke. So says Marc Summers of the Food Network's Unwrapped television show.
Even if you missed generic cialis the original airing of the program, you still can learn how one company is "taking some 'blasts from the past' and making them again for the kids of today" in a show excerpt posted on YouTube. Titled, "Candy Cravings," the video clip covers a brief history of the Slo Poke and the modern day production of this rediscovered favorite.
Time has changed at least one aspect of the Slo Poke sucker. It's now available in both the original size and as a bite-sized treat. Now that's a comeback we all can enjoy!

Herbert Felix Cruse 1863-1921
2 comments:
- Robert said...
There was an Edward Cruse born to Henry Cruse in 1807. Henry was born in Warminster but lived in Frome, where he was quite influential. I am descended from Thomas Cruse, son of Henry and therefore possibly the brother of this Edward. Another similarity is that Thomas was an accomplished musician, moved to Battle, then to Brighton (27, Kensington Street) for a short while, and then back to Battle. Thomas was an organist. One of Thomas's sons, Edward, was also a musician, playing in the church in Battle and composing music. This was a side-line as he worked as secretary to Battle Abbey Estate - the post his father had before him
It looks as if we are related

Herbert Felix Cruse is the son of Edward Cruse, who was born in 1807 in Frome, Somerset. Edward was indeed the brother of your ancestor Thomas Cruse. There seem to have been a lot of musical genes in your Cruse family.

Beautiful middle parted wavy hairstyle for African American women
A classic look combines with drama in this long light brown hair. Naturally curly African-American hair is first straightened, having it reach past the collarbones, then marcelled. The waves shine in the glossy finish, and fall down either side of the head from a center part. The hair looks heavy from the waves, but the style does not call for too much movement, as it is.

Share Your Reflection
<p>If the measure of living well is defined by what we do to
If the measure of living well is defined by what we do to create "peace on earth good will to [all]" then Hitchens did not live well; but then neither do theists. Beliefs, regardless of what they are, cause conflict. Humanity will likely die in conflict. We are not living well.
"When an atheist dies it is
"When an atheist dies it is wrong to wonder what is happening to them now that they are dead.
Why is it wrong to wonder about anything? That's what having an intellect is all about. I suspect even atheists would concur on that point.
We don't need to wonder...the same thing happens to atheists as happens to theists. The difference is that Atheists think that nothing happens and theists BELIEVE (but can't prove) that we transcend this life to one that has higher meaning.
I as suspect that Hitchens now knows.
Christopher Htichens does not
Christopher Htichens does not know the answer to that question - he is dead. He doesn't know nothing - he's dead.

We hold power in our government
December 2, 2008
I read a lot of stuff, including editorials and commentaries in scientific journals. Each time there's a new administration, many of these publications rev up their lobbying for support from the government for favorite projects.
So now, Nobel Laureate Steven Chu, director of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, is going on record in the pages of Science News seeking "investment tax credits so that companies have an incentive to invest in long-term energy research."
One might have hoped these incentives would be supplied by the marketplace. Instead, Chu is reaching out for government support. If the market fails to provide the incentive that Chu wishes it would, he needs to advertise his services to market agents, not to government.
Actually, tax credits are simply ways to avoid being extorted the full amount one would usually be. I do not begrudge anyone the opportunity to dodge taxes, however it's done, but Chu and his ilk aren't tax rebels and likely would not champion tax dodging or resistance for other citizens. Only those doing his kind of important work supposedly qualify!
Some of the language in which Chu advances his case for tax credits is also disturbing. He says "The government has got to allow" these. Why is it self-evident to the likes of Chu that government is in the business of allowing this and that? Government is our hired agent, at most, and no one in such a position is authorized to allowing us anything, giving us permission.
Professor Donald Boudreaux, chair of economics at George Mason University, sent a letter to The Washington Post recently critical of the phrase a columnist used regarding why Barack Obama was elected. He notes that in an op-ed piece in The Post one Peter Funt "off-handedly mentions that Barack Obama was elected to 'run the country'" And as Boudreaux says, "This familiar phrase is nonsensical."
Why is it nonsensical to speak of government as "allowing" this or that or of the next president as elected to "run the country?" As I have already hinted, that's because governments and their officials, such as the president, aren't monarchs who rule us but civil servants who are hired to carry out some specific work for us — for which they are well paid.
The fact that prominent people who write for major newspapers or get interviewed by important magazines treat government as if it were in charge of us all bodes ill for a free country.
It isn't enough that thousands of politicians and bureaucrats suffer from the delusion that when they enter government they get to rule others. But there are thousands of citizens outside government who speak as if this delusion were acceptable.
Given that for centuries on end governments did suffer from the delusion that their officials legitimately ruled the population, that they were in charge of the rest of us, it is especially important for respected people in the country to discipline themselves when they speak about public policies.
Such people tend to set the terms of discourse in the country and by now they ought to know well and good that these terms do not include "government allows" or "presidents run," any more than they include "your highness" or "your majesty."

Many of you know me here as an aficionado of pu'er. But my love of tea brought me to a new obsession in August 2008 when I began making ceramic teaware. Since then, I have dived in headfirst into making pots and formulating my own glazes.
Lidded forms, teapots & teaware made from dark colored clay bodies have been my recent focus. Seeing ceramics as man-made stone and firing as controlled geologic process, I try to bring rocky, earthy surface texture to my pieces. With glazes, I'm currently toying with ash glazing and mimicking high-fire glazes in a mid-fire electric kiln.
You can see my work at my etsy shop or on flickr:
