De Quincey, Thomas
Thomas De Quincey 1785-1859
English essayist, critic, and novelist.
A versatile essayist and accomplished critic, De Quincey used his own life as the subject of his most acclaimed work, the Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1822), in which he chronicled his fascinating and horrifying addiction to opium. The Confessions are an insightful depiction of drug dependency and an evocative portrait of an altered psychological state. De Quincey is recognized as one of the foremost prose writers of his day; his ornate style, while strongly influenced by the Romantic authors he knew and emulated, owes much to his vivid imagination and desire to recreate his own intense personal experiences.
Biographical Information
De Quincey's life as a child figures prominently in the Confessions. He was a frail, sensitive boy who was tyrannized by an older brother. When he was seven, his beloved older sister, Elizabeth, died. In his later writings, De Quincey maintained that her death shaped his destiny because his grief caused him to seek solace in an imaginary world. This tendency to escape into reverie foreshadowed the importance of dreams and introspection to his work. At ten, he was sent to grammar school where he fared well academically but, according to his autobiographical writings, was deeply unhappy. At seventeen, he ran away from school with a copy of William Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads and a collection of Greek plays. He later described his feeling of liberation in terms Wordsworth had attributed to the spirit of revolutionary France: "the senselessness of joy." For several months he wandered throughout the country, and then traveled to London, where he hoped to study the English Romantic poets. His life during this period was one of self-imposed deprivation, and he eventually returned home. His mother, in an effort to tame her son, enrolled him at Oxford. At the university, he excelled academically but was socially isolated. De Quincey experimented with opium for the first time at Oxford: a classmate prescribed the drug for a toothache and De Quincey found that he enjoyed its effects. By 1813 De Quincey was, in his own estimation, a "regular and confirmed" opium addict. At Oxford, he abandoned poetry and, inspired by his studies of German thought, decided to become "the first founder of a true philosophy." Whether or not opium was the cause, De Quincey, after submitting a brilliant paper, failed to appear for his final oral examination and left Oxford without completing his degree. While still at Oxford, De Quincey had written Wordsworth a glowing letter, and the poet, in turn, invited him to visit. The offer both thrilled and terrified the young man, and he chose to meet Samuel Taylor Coleridge first. Coleridge shared De Quincey's interest in metaphysics and opium but warned him about the evils of the drug. When De Quincey met Wordsworth, the poet invited him to join the Lake District's literary circle. De Quincey moved nearby, and became a frequent visitor to the Wordsworth household. De Quincey married and seemed content with family life until his opium addiction overpowered him. He had thought the drug would enhance his abilities as a philosopher; instead, he lay in bed listlessly, unable to think or move. His wife devoted herself to his recovery and, with her support, he obtained a position as editor of the Westmoreland Gazette. The simple, local newspaper soon featured De Quincey's vivid accounts of grisly murder trials, as well as essays on philology, politics, and German philosophy. De Quincey's subject matter and erratic work habits angered his employers and he was asked to resign. De Quincey agreed to leave, firmly believing that a regular routine was incompatible with the habits of a philosopher. However, because his financial situation was dire and he had a large family to support, he sought out Charles Lamb, who introduced De Quincey to London's journalistic circles and De Quincey was invited to write for London Magazine. The publisher encouraged him to write about the subject he knew most intimately—his opium addiction. In September, 1821, the first half of Confessions of an English Opium-Eater appeared anonymously in London Magazine, and the complete Confessions was published as a single volume in 1822. With its publication, De Quincey was immediately established as a major Romantic prose author. Following his stay in London, De Quincey moved to Edinburgh, where he wrote for several journals. He disliked writing for periodicals and often stated that he composed only for money. However, the essays that were published during this period display De Quincey's virtuosity as a prose writer and his interest in a wide array of subjects. De Quincey died in 1859.
Major Works
The Confessions of an English Opium-Eater and its "sequel," Suspiria de Profundis (1845) are intensely personal chronicles of De Quincey's experiences with opium, both its physical and psychological effects. In these autobiographical writings, De Quincey attributes to his opium reveries a visionary power that informs his understanding of creativity and literary style. De Quincey published his expanded version of the Confessions in 1856, but this version is considered obscure and stylized. His numerous essays, which initially appeared in periodicals in the Lake District, London, and Edinburgh, treat a large variety of issues, both parochial and international: Britain's imperial conflicts in Asia and northern Africa, criminal violence, theological history, Enlightenment philosophy, as well as numerous more explicitly literary reviews. Among these literary essays, De Quincey's essay on William Shakespeare, "On the Knocking on the Door in Macbeth," has received acclaim as an outstanding piece of psychological criticism, and his critique of Wordsworth's Lyrical Ballads is considered a brilliant analysis of the poet's creative process. De Quincey's attention to the psychological aspects of literary, political, and domestic life stands as an important precursor to twentieth-century inheritors of the Romantic tradition. In addition, De Quincey published essays that sketched personal portraits of other Romantic authors; his reminiscences of his interactions with Coleridge and Wordsworth offer largely sympathetic insights into their literary circle.
Critical Reception
Some critics consider De Quincey's Suspiria de Profundis the supreme prose fantasy of English literature. Initially, the public believed that the confessions were fictional, to which the author responded by stating that the papers "were drawn up with entire simplicity and fidelity to the facts." Critics often point to the diffuseness of his style, which some believe to be the result of carelessness rather than a conscious artistic device. At the time of his death, his expertise as a literary critic was underestimated, though his prose talent had long been acknowledged. As a critic, he sometimes revealed more prejudice and narrow-mindedness than insight: he found Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's novel, Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, immoral and cited evidence of plagiarism in the works of his friend Coleridge. Many recent critics have emphasized De Quincey's complex relationship with British imperialism: his horror and anxiety about the depravity and chaos that he associated with the Orient and his staunchly conservative political views seem to contrast sharply with his Romantic tendencies. Critic John Barrell claims that this tension permeates De Quincey's writing in various forms and is met by attempts to expel "hybridity." Although many critics disdain the ornateness of De Quincey's writing and complain of its digressive tendencies, others find that his essays display an acute psychological awareness. The impassioned prose of his autobiographical works recreates both his youthful dreams and later drug-induced meditations. De Quincey believed that these dreams chronicle the soul's development and provide readers with insight into their own minds. By explicitly addressing the role of visionary experience in the creative process, De Quincey helped to forge a new kind of prose, one which rivaled Romantic poetry in its intensity and evocation of "grandeur." According to contemporary scholars, his literary strengths and the tensions that mark his work situate him within the realm of modernity. In this way, De Quincey exemplifies the Romantic prose writer and at the same time heralds the emergence of a new understanding of literature and subjectivity.

Attention, high school students!Posted Wednesday, February 29, 2012, at 1:49 PM
Mark Cuban, the outspoken tech entrepreneur turned sports team owner, always has something interesting to say at his blog, http://blogmaverick.com , and today he posted advice for teenagers looking to make a little money quick: two business ideas within reach of the average teenager. One is the idea of buying shoelaces in team colors and then selling them at a profit in the parking lot outside local sports events. The other is advertising one's self as a guru for setting up all-in-one remote controls.
Here's a link to the blog post, with more details:
I can see some potential complications with the shoelace idea if the school in question has a problem with solicitation in the parking lot. (Will Cuban allow this in the parking lot outside Dallas Mavericks games?) But otherwise, they're both great ideas, and within reach of an enterprising teenager. And they might start the juices flowing about other, related ideas.
There's a lot of discussion about ways to keep teens in school, and local employers are being encouraged to work with teenagers and help them schedule work around classes, so that they don't have to choose between the two. It would certainly achieve the same goal for a teenager to become a part-time entrepreneur after school hours.

Here's an idea that would be well within most high school student's grasp...be a "internet guide" for older adults. There are many older adults who desire to get more out of their computer but don't understand how things like Facebook, Twitter, or e-mailing photos work. An ad in the paper or some postings on local boards should get some results.

Interesting idea and probably appreciated by those of us who are computer challenged. I called our then 19 year old daughter to help me with some html programming and she did it over the phone with no formal education. Darn kids these days.
Just be sure to confirm who your young person is going to help. Better yet, have them meet in a public place.
Sad sign of the times. :-(

Then you have the News Media that warns their viewers and readers not to buy from anybody unless they are licensed and bonded.
Now you are encouraging young students to go out and break the law by starting an entrepreneur enterprise without first obtaining a state and local license to do business in a "Right to Work" state.
The Anti-Christ can not place a fee nor a charge on a right. That means it can not tax the Right to Work (which is a license to do business).
However if you are a 14th Amendment Citizen they can tax you. The government has the right to assume everyone is a 14th Amendment Citizen and charge them. It is up to the people to know their rights (if they want any).
A phone call from anyone will bring the officials down on the student trying to earn money and shut down.
Doesn't anyone remember the girl who tried to sell lemonade in her front yard in Florida last year? What about the yard salers who are shut down because they don't have a license or are not collecting a sales tax?
By the time a student buys a license to do business without a business address and get a sales tax number, buys the product he/she is planning on selling, They go broke before starting or they have to work illegally without the burden of the extra expenses.
But how can they do that when the local news media warns everyone from buying from a stranger or unlicensed person who isn't registered as a member with the Chamber of Commerce.
A few years ago people turned to Mail Order to make money. It was one of the easiest businesses to get into and offered hundreds of ways to earn money.
Today, Mail Order is still around but is moving into the cyber space. Internet jobs are a dime a dozen. You can find ways to earn money on the internet everywhere. Their are even Internet sites that will scan your circulars and flyers and post them on websites for a full year for as low as $1. Now that's cheap advertising!
And I would imagine someone could make a lot of money before the Internet Patrol comes after them.
There are internet mini sites that anyone can purchase for less than $10. It remains their website forever and is set up to sell a product or service for the new owner. It sells the product, service or membership, collects the money by Paypal or other account, delivers the product digitally then sends the money to the new Entrepreneur who is willing to take a chance on earning money online for a minimum out of pocket expense. This new entrepreneur only has to advertise the website to make money. No orders to fill, no products to stock, no middle man to pay. It's just an All Profit Opportunity that keeps on working until they stop advertising the website.
Now that is an UnLimited Income Potential if I every seen one. The sky is the limit!
Unless you earn a lot of money, Paypal will just keep on sending your payments unquestionably. No taxes to collect unless you sell to TN residents.
If and when that time comes, paypal will more than likely step in and ask for the licensing information.
The thing is a person has a chance to earn some money or at least break even before they have to lay out financial cuts to the government.
But then, this is just my opinion.

Tom Wilkinson | The Actor as Craftsman
In John Madden's The Debt, Tom Wilkinson plays a man with secrets. The story takes place in two different time frames. In one, three Mossad agents – David Peretz, Rachel Singer and Stephan Gold – embark on a 1960s covert mission to kidnap a Nazi war criminal living in East Berlin. In the second, the same three characters live with the secrets of that mission 30 years later. For Wilkinson, who plays Stephan Gold, that meant absorbing a myriad of factors – the director's vision, the characters' secrets, the performance of the young Gold (played by Marton Csokas) – to create his character. To make Gold real, he needed first to stay true to the story's prime question, as Wilkinson puts it, "can one be redeemed after the endless duplicity of being a secret agent?" But he needed not only to layer secret onto secret, but be faithful to another actor's secrets. Working with his earlier self, played by Csokas, Wilkinson explains, "I later took a look at his scenes and worked further on the character with John. There was a certain continuity I was careful not to break." With the precision of a watchmaker, Wilkinson built his character, displaying an attention to detail and craft that has been his trademark for decades.
Tom Wilkinson | An Accidental Actor
Richard Eyre directing at the Nottingham Playhouse in 1975; Playbill for Schlesinger's 1977 Julius Caesar
Born in Leeds to a farmer, Tom Wilkinson might not have appeared destined to become a movie star. After moving to Canada for a short period, Wilkinson's family returned to England, where he eventually attended the University of Kent. It was there, Wilkinson told the Cambridge Student, that he fell into acting. "I actually wanted to be a farmer," Wilkinson explained, "But I was at school and somebody asked me to direct a play –– there was nobody else around to do it, so I said okay, and suddenly I discovered something I could do. Really well." He joined the college drama society, even going on to become its president. After college, in 1974, he was taken under the wing of Richard Eyre, the director of the Nottingham Playhouse, who helped launch his acting career. Discussing his first meeting with Wilkinson, Eyre told The Guardian, "It was the best audition I had ever seen…It was startlingly real and authoritative." A few years later, Wilkinson joined the National Theater, appearing in John Schlesinger's noted 1977 production of Julius Caesar. This production, which marked the last Shakespearean stage role for John Gielgud, heralded the start of another great actor's career.
Tom Wilkinson | Sharpening his Skills on Stage
Wilkinson playing Antonio in the Royal Shakespeare Company's 1981 The Merchant of Venice
Like many British actors of his generation, Wilkinson built up a strong reputation as a stage actor before turning to screen and television. After touring with a number of theater companies, Wilkinson in 1980 joined the prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company, where he quickly appeared in stagings of As You Like It, The Merchant of Venice, Hamlet, and Richard II. In 1984, he inaugurated the role of T. S. Eliot in Michael Hastings' Tom & Viv (although he didn't continue on for the New York production, or the film adaptation). But his work was not unnoticed. In 1986, Wilkinson was given the London Critics Circle award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in the revival of Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts. Two years later, he was again singled out by the London Critics Circle for another Ibsen play, this time winning Best Actor for his performance in An Enemy of the People. In the 1990s, Wilkinson's TV and film career took off, but he never abandoned the stage. In 2004, he was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) for his services to drama.
Tom Wilkinson | Bringing Complex Characters to TV
Wilkinson as Benjamin Franklin in John Adams
While Wilkinson's appeared only sporadically in films during the 1970s and 80s, his television career began in the 80s and has being going strong ever since. His part in the popular 1986 adaptation of Jeffrey Archer's political melodrama First Among Equals got him early recognition. His calm, strong presence also landed him roles in a number of whodunits, from the 1985 Agatha Christie adaptation Pocket Full of Rye to the 1988 Ruth Rendell Mysteries to the 1991 premiere of the Prime Suspect series, playing opposite his co-star in The Debt, Helen Mirren. In 1994, Wilkinson was nominated for a BAFTA for playing so perfectly the self-righteous, evil Seth Pecksniff in the BBC miniseries adaptation of Charles Dickens' rowdy and rambling novel Martin Chuzzlewit. Wilkinson was proud of his performance, later telling The Guardian, "I looked at it and I thought: I can't get it any better than that. It came out exactly as I meant it to come out. It won a couple of prizes and I thought, I can act, there's no question." In 2008, Wilkinson was recognized across the pond by receiving an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in a Miniseries for his turn as Benjamin Franklin in the HBO series John Adams.
Tom Wilkinson | Turning Supporting Roles into Star Turns
From In the Bedroom
From his early appearances in films like David Hare's 1985 Wetherby or Ang Lee's 1995 Sense and Sensibility, Tom Wilkinson was often cast in supporting roles. So it makes sense that his breakout performances should have come in ensemble films, like the working-class stripper comedy The Fully Monty, for which he individually won a BAFTA for Best Supporting Actor and collectively, with his co-stars, took home a Screen Actors Guild award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast. Likewise, Wilkinson's part in the 1998 ensemble comedy Shakespeare in Love was also greeted with critical acclaim, earning him a BAFTA nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role. (This was also his first time working with The Debt director John Madden.) In 2001, Wilkinson moved into the spotlight with a starring role as the father of a murdered boy in Todd Field's In the Bedroom, a performance for which he was nominated for Best Actor at the Academy Awards, BAFTAs, and Screen Actors Guild Awards, to name just a few. Rolling Stone's Peter Travers wrote, "If you want to see a master class in acting, watch [Sissy] Spacek and Wilkinson go at each other." Despite all this critical attention, Wilkinson reportedly diminished his Oscar nomination, joking, "Oh, my goodness. I think I know who is going to win it, and his name isn't Tom Wilkinson."
Tom Wilkinson | In the Spotlight
From Michael Clayton
After In the Bedroom, Wilkinson's Hollywood options opened up, as he pursued both big-budget superhero fare like the 2005 blockbuster Batman Begins and smaller, highly acclaimed work such as Michel Gondry's 2004 Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, gaining critical attention for both. While Wilkinson continued to be a go-to character actor for smart directors, his work was more and more singled out by critics. His role as an unhinged corporate litigator in Tony Gilroy's Michael Clayton dazzled USA Today's Claudia Puig, who wrote that "Clayton may be Clooney's best role in a body of work that is increasingly assured. Wilkinson is just as convincing as a brilliant but unhinged legal mind, with an innocence that leads to an epiphany, the nature of which he tries to articulate in his opening speech." For the movie, Wilkinson received Best Supporting Actor nominations at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes, BAFTAs and Screen Actors Guild Awards. Yet despite such accolades, Wilkinson keeps a workingman's respect for putting in the time and learning the craft. He told The Guardian that as a young actor, "you are so ignorant; you don't know what a good production should be. You don't know what the rules are. And then, when you start doing it professionally, you learn the rules and become more intimidated. Then, when you get to my age – and I've been doing it for a lot of years now – you know what to do on any given job."
In the Bedroom
In the Bedroom: Tom Wilkinson was rightly nominated for an Oscar for his heart-wrenching turn as father grappling with the senseless death of his son.

I used fresh mozz a few times, but felt I needed to sprinkle some salt on the pie after it finished baking. Do you do the same or leave it as is?
What type do you use, and where do you get it?We use Fresh Mozzarella whenever we can for anything that is relatively italian we are cooking with cheese.We use to get it at our farmers market(it wasn't fresh fresh, but a day old and frozen... still not bad) and today I picked up a pound of real fresh mozz from a little italian deli just outside of town for use in tomorrows pizza(also picked up 1/4lb "pepperoni stick") in emergency cases we have picked up "fresh mozz" from Stop and Shop's olive buffet and some shrink wrapped stuff that is a name brand i don't recall.Since starting to do pizza at home, we have only used fresh mozz(with a little bit of freshly grated parm thrown in) and I really have no clue if we are missing out on something great. I grew up on Long Island, work in Manhattan and can get a slice of NY pizza with mixed whole milk, etc cheese any day, and none of them have ever lived up to a pizza with fresh mozzarella....What do you use? Where do you get it?

Dahlberg hopes to face Franken in fall
MANKATO – A flat tire in Mankato prevented U.S. Senate candidate Chris Dahlberg, R-Duluth, from attending a meet and greet Saturday in New Ulm, but it didn't prevent him from calling The Journal for a phone interview.
"I've traveled to too many places, my tires are going flat," Dahlberg said from the Hilton Hotel parking ramp Saturday morning. "I'm on a whirlwind tour. I'm even going door to door."
A 52-year-old Esko native and Duluth attorney, Dahlberg is currently the Chairman of the St. Louis County Board of Commissioners and a Duluth Seaway Port Authority Commissioner. Dahlberg formerly worked at the Georgia-Pacific Superwood plant in Duluth.
"I'm troubled by the country's $17 trillion national debt and government over-regulation caused by national leaders' inability to prioritize," he said. "You tackle the federal deficit in the same manner as one eats an elephant – one bite at a time. With focus, we will prevail. When everything is a priority, nothing is," Dahlberg said.
"The U.S. Senate needs more real-life knowledge of the military. My 25 years of (U.S. Army Reserve) military service including work as an engineer, in civil affairs and Judge Advocate General (JAP), plus Mandarin-Chinese training makes me uniquely qualified to address serious national security issues."
Dahlberg said Sen. Al Franken takes a serious political approach but he's too quiet, taking "fluff tours" and not seriously addressing issues like the national debt and Obamacare. A statewide poll conducted Oct, 27-29, 2013 by Public Policy Polling reported the gap between Franken and Dahlberg was just 10 points – 49 percent for Franken, 39 percent for Dahlberg, with all other candidates totaling only 11 to 13 percentage points. For more information, visit www.publicpolicypolling.com/main/polls/
"My young daughter and her generation won't be helped much by that," he said. "I'm more interested in old-fashioned reading books than using electronic devices. I'm a scrapper, a hard worker. Franken has all the money and Minnesota ties, but he left soon after he was born here."
Dahlberg said the best way to learn what people want is to talk to them, face-to-face, on front porches, in coffee shops, and on Main Street, which is what he said he's doing these days.
Dahlberg said his proudest accomplishments surround prioritization of core services including a push for services to the private sector including a county nursing home that was losing millions of dollars a year but is now expanding with new construction projects.
"Washington D.C. has busied itself with too many activities that are really state's roles," he said.

Long curly and messy locks
Medium ash blonde long hair gets the siren treatment here, as it tumbles down past the shoulders in large but well-defined curls and looser waves. A casual central part is brushed up and set a bit, for height on the forehead, before it falls into the riot of curls. This messy style generally does not need a comb or brush through the curls; either will actually separate out the locks and ruin them. Fingers will work well in running a setting product through, if it is needed. This look is evocative of the outdoors, but works also well in relaxed, indoor settings..

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In full: Given it takes place mostly on a canalside track, it would not be much fun underfoot on a wet miserable day; but on a glorious autumn day with only a few pockets of mud & puddles, it was delightful.Date of review: November 16, 2012
In short: Fabulous race, tough in parts but wonderful support from allIn full: Brilliantly organised, with cheerful helpful marshalls - thank you all so much for making it such a special day. Very friendly fellow runners. Water stations ran like clockwork - my drink I had left earlier appeared as I approached - didn't even have to slow down! Fabulous place to run - quiet country lanes, fields full of wildflowers, shaded woods ... can't WAIT to do it again!Date of review: May 9, 2011
In short: Lovely marshalls- great atmosphereIn full: Feel 9am is very early start for Sunday morning ... had to get up well before 7am which I think is a bit OTT. I believe last year the start time was 9:30 and I think that is a more user-friendly time! But good race nevertheless.Date of review: December 6, 2009
In short: Good crowd support which was much appreciatedDate of review: October 11, 2009
In short: Very friendly & great marshallsIn full: Only criticism was there were no mile or km markers. This made my carefully prepared race band redundant and it would really have helped my pacing as inevitably I started too fast and crashed near the end.Date of review: August 23, 2009
In short: Well organised but huge water bottles - what a waste! Alternative is you carry them with you but they're very heavy. Smaller ones next year? ?Date of review: June 14, 2009

Topic: Adding Options To A Cart Item In AWDWR?
I just picked up Agile Web Development with Rails 3rd Ed., and I'm going thru the Depot Application chapters, and I have a question on Product/Item options-
If I wanted to modify the product catalog and store so that products could have options (size, color, whatever), where/how would I do that?
Let's say I'm selling t-shirts, and they come in different sizes. I don't feel like that's something that really needs a model created to handle sizes, so I thought I could just add it as a select box in the html in the store's view. But, each Add to Cart button is wrapped by a form tag that is automatically generated by button_to, and doesn't seem to give me the ability to pass additional parameters to it. How can I get the size of the item added into the POST to add_to_cart?
And perhaps more importantly- what is the most Railsy way to do so?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Skip to comments.Dressing Like Little Hookers
Posted on 03/25/2011 7:33:53 AM PDT by Kaslin
Many Americans were disappointed when President Obama devoted a Saturday radio address to a celebration of the progress of women in society. Most of us were more interested to hear about the progress (or lack of it) in dealing with the crisis that threatens to become a new war in Libya.
The president was excited about a new White House report on the status of women, the first such report in 48 years. John F. Kennedy assigned Eleanor Roosevelt to explore the subject on that occasion.
Obama told us that women earn more high school diplomas and college degrees than men, and the number of women in the workforce almost equals the number of men. But they still don't hold as many power positions.
You might not have noticed this report's significance, however, since it was issued just before Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Susan Rice, the U. S. ambassador to the United Nations, and Samantha Power, a senior director of the National Security Council -- three of the most powerful women in the Obama administration -- effectively persuaded the president to put America into the coalition against Moammar Gadhaffi.
It was a throwaway speech but dear to the president's heart. He wants to see his two daughters grow up in a world "where there are no limits to what they can accomplish." Fair enough -- but the growing problem for the female sex in this country is less political than cultural, and it starts in the home, not the White House. We're talking image rather than achievement.
The problem that needs our undivided attention could have fit under a chapter head in Betty Friedan's celebrated '60s best-seller, "The Feminine Mystique." You could call it the "The Sexual Sell." The sexual sell is seen first in little girls who graduate overnight from demure princess dresses to party dresses with what they imagine is cleavage, from playing dress-up in mom's shoes to wearing their own spike heels.
Superficial sophistication is no longer a way for a child to try on different adult styles for size, but rushes young women into a false feeling of safety that is sexually enticing, disarmingly seductive and potentially explosive.
The slinky dress on the preteen may be "cute" when she's hanging out with her girlfriends, but it quickly becomes "hot' on a teenager hanging out with boys, blurring the boundaries between innocence and sexuality.
"Why," asks Jennifer Moses in The Wall Street Journal, "do so many of us not only permit our teenage daughters to dress like this -- like prostitutes, if we're being honest with ourselves -- but pay for them to do it with our AmEx cards?" The answer indicts a generation of mothers who grew up as the most liberated generation in history, and who are only now having second thoughts over what they want for their daughters.
"We were the first moms in history to have grown up with widely available birth control, the first who didn't have to worry about getting knocked up," she says. "We were the first not only to be free of old-fashioned fears about our reputation but actually pressured by our peers and the wider culture to find our true womanhood in the bedroom." And now thousands of moms don't have a clue about teaching their daughters the perils and foolishness of giving away their bodies so readily.
There are lots of reasons for the current excesses of little girls whose sexy style goes way beyond their psychological ages. We could round up the usual suspects in media and advertising, with focus groups and consultants, but common sense is all anyone needs to see what happened. It's one of those pesky unintended consequences of the sexual revolution.
Post-Pill mothers worry more about appearing like hypocrites with their daughters than assuming parental authority, setting thoughtful moral guidelines. They can expect to hear the same excuses from their daughters that daughters have made since the first cave girl donned a well-off-the-shoulder leopard skin.
High-tech complicates matters. Coinciding with a mother's ambiguous messages are the peer messages bombarding the adolescent's cell-phone network, merging texting with "sexting." When these young women get to college, parents can expect no surrogate gatekeepers to help them resist the increasing pressure for "hooking up."
This mother's plaint about young girls in "plunging necklines, built-in-push-bras, spangles, feathers, slits and peek-a-boos" is getting none of the buzz of a similar plaint of the famous Tiger Mom about permissiveness in educational discipline. Modern moms seem to be more animated over how their children study for the SATs than how they deal with their beckoning sexual lives.
They should reprise the cliche nearly every mother once asked her daughter on her way out of the house dressed like a hooker: "You're not wearing that?"
I hate that commercial where the mom helps the daughter clean up the next-to-nothing skirt that dad has ruined with oil. Then she struts out past dad and mom smiles.
MY dad would have kicked my butt.
um... maybe if they didn't buy 'that' in the first place?
The words "Dad" and "father" appear nowhere in this article. I guess Ms. Fields thinks fathers have nothing to say about how their daughters dress and act ... ?
The "feminists" used to say that no woman needed a man in her life,
now they're saying that only the man's paycheck is required.
Yes, I also despise that commercial. Of course I would have simply torn the little mini skirt into shop rags and put them on my workbench rather than relying on a greasy stain to dissuade the little darling. And my wife would never have bought it for her in the first place.
Me too, I said to my wife, " What parent would allow their daughter to dress like that, and approve of it?"....
I think Ms Fields recognizes that mothers will have more influence on how their daughters dress and act, just like fathers will have more influence on how their sons dress and act. A permissive mom will undermine even the most conscientious of dads if she buys clothing for her daughters from Whores-R-Us.
When you are a tart, your kid will be a tart.
We have a neighbor who thought it was JUST DARLING that the 14 year old across from us had boys hanging at the house while mom was at work.
Now since that 14 year old has dropped her first offspring, it's an example she doesn't want for her own daughter.
We reap what we sow.
And consider how the popular culture views everything related to sexuality. It's all titilation, all the time.
And, we live in a world in which Keith Olbermann calls Bristol Palin the worst person in the world. Her crime was getting pregnant without a husband, and trying to help other young girls avoid her own mistakes in life. We have institutionalized teen pregnancy and the whole "baby mama" culture. So in the liberal view, all this sex activity and dressing like sluts and all the rest is a good thing. It's all supposed to be liberating.
And if you want to make a political statement, all these baby mama girls will grow up and vote Democrat, since they then will rely on government programs to raise those kids.
14 years old and having a baby??? Sheesh......
And remember, since you have to subtract nine months from her age to learn when certain things happened, she may have been 13 at that time. And remember, girls don't always get pregnant the very first time they do something they shouldn't be doing. Could she have been 12 even when she was doing things with boys which should not have happened? Sheesh, the mind is boggled by all of this.
And I even think that liberalism aids and abets this, because a major tenet of liberal ideology is that we're not supposed to make any judgements, especially any sorts of moral judgements about someone's behavior. So, if we can't say that something is wrong, and bad things happen as a result, liberals then can't say anything about the consequences.
Step back, take a look at the big picture, and see that all leftist policy has the intent and the goal of destroying the traditional family.
The "sex positive" movement is just another part of that overarching goal.
Yeah, darling isn't it?
Unfortunately once you have a generation in which many of them had moms or at least friends with moms who were unmarried and pregnant the dam is burst and it loses the shame factor. More and more people I know (much younger than me) had at least their first child before they were married. And these are not poor, minority or underprivileged. Because it is now seen as an "everyone does it" sort of thing, the stigma is gone and basically, Dan Quayle was right. Thank you Murphy Brown. And it's all tied up with the whole permissive "it's all about me and sex and whatever makes me happy" thing. It's certainly not about what is the best way to raise kids and make a stable family thing.
No problemo - most middle schools and high schools now have day care centers for the little ones.
The grade schools are next.
Thank you Johnson's 'Great Society' and every democrat since then. Now it's have a baby to help with the family income. End welfare as we know it. Another job after November 6, 2012. .
Many Americans wouldn't notice if President Obama devoted a Saturday radio address to a celebration of interesting dryer lint. Who listens to anything but conservative talk-radio or music? Who cares what Obama says about anything?
Yes, I hated Grease anyway, but I thought that it had the dumbest message on the planet. Dress slutty and you'll get your good-for-nothing guy. Off they drive into the sunset without a bank account.
My mom would never have bought me that.
Reminds me of the other commercial with Yaya who thinks the woman dresses like a prostitute. Hahahaa.
Here in L.A. you can play the guessing game "High School girl or Hooker?".
I realize there may indeed be some overlap, but the game is to determine if they are on their way to or from school or not.
Does any radio station actaully broadcast any president's "radio address"? I can't say I've heard one.
Ironically, girls who are close to their fathers are much less likely to behave this way. The involvement of fathers in their children's lives is essential. Mothers are not enough.
They did in the past.
Communist goals:
17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.
20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.
21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.
25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.
26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."
40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
Movin' right along they are. Sound the alarm daily!
I for one have a 23 yr old daughter, I raised her by myself from the age 0f 5, TELEVISION was not allowed in our home, No Internet, When questioned by her teachers about her behavior or should I say the Lack of her wanting to emulate Harlets on TV, i Explained to them That Television was not an Option in our Home and she would never see it til she was on her own. No Bull SH**, She wore modest clothing and today she still does. I saw Lots of little Harlets in her schools everyday. Absolutely Disgusting, and My daughter agrees now. And by the way has turned out pretty good, two jobs and school full time, NO PUBLIC ASSISTANCE OR PUBLIC AID OF ANY KIND. Including NO STUDENT LOANS. She is 23 now.
This is a lie. It is every woma's fantasy to have three men at the same time - One cooking dinner, one washing the bathroom, and one mowing the lawn.
Have you seen Agenda yet?
Actually, I loved the movie Grease. I loved the music and was a big fan of Olivia Newton John.
As an adult, I realized, I could not let my kids watch it because of how inappropriate it is/was. I liked High School Musical movies and found it to be more appropriate than Grease for my kids.
We don't have any talk radio around here on weekends, so come 6PM on Friday the other radio with the local country station programmed on gets turned on and stays until Monday morning when we switch back to the other radio with the talk station.
Who cares what Obama says about anything?
If someone is running a clip of him talking, either on the radio or TV news, Jax always wants to know if she can change it --- she can't take his voice, let alone what he has to say.
I was in high school in the mid 80's, and we had plenty of girls dressing like sluts. I loved it. I'm not condoning it now, of course, but I think it's a little dishonest to think the issue hasn't been around for a while. I mean, it didn't get much more slutty than leather mini skirts with baby doll socks and pumps.
I noticed that too and therein lies the problem. With a strong, involved, loving Dad at home many times the girls do not have to dress or act like hookers to get a boys attention... they have it at home with their Dad's.
You young Dad's out there, spend the same time with your daughters as you would with your sons. Teach them how to mow the lawn, change the oil in the cars, go to ball games with them and teach them how to hunt. If you pay the same attention to your daughter's as your sons you may avoid many of the troubles young girls have with the opposite sex looking for a Fathers love.
I totally agree. I aim to follow the example of my wife's aunt and uncle. They have three kids, 2 girls and a boy, who are probably 3 of the most stunningly beautiful people ever. All were atheltes and hunted.
The best rule: If you want to go out on Saturday, your date comes over Friday for dinner with the family. That automatically rules out most of the scumbags and bagettes who would never show up. Plus, it gives mom and dad a chance to size up the date face to face.
Honestly, all these men in their conservative business attire and then the babe with the skin-tight mini skirt with no sleeves and boobs hanging out.
Does Fox make them dress like this?
Harris whats-her-name on Fox goes for the cleavage 95 percent of the time...
If birth control really meant that girls didn't have to worry about getting knocked up, this wouldn't be the huge problem that it is. It's another Big Lie. BC only works a certain percentage of the time, with a small but significant failure rate. And they have to use it in the first place if they want it to work. Unfortunately too many girls seem to regard getting pregnant as a way to say FU to their parents.
My kids are screwed.

I noticed that too.....she seems so nice but I think someone is making her expose her breasts, anyway I just turn her off now.
Darned if I know. I suppose it's possible NPR does, or that lefty Sirius/XM station with no listeners.
I have never heard an Obama speech. Once in a while I read a bit of a transcript on FR, and that's bad enough. I'd rather listen to the byos fight over which one of them gets to be a triceratops or the baby reciting the "Big Bang Theory" theme song. Or even Bill's ghastly white-noise "music."
No I haven't. Thanks for sending. The trailer is fact on. Will get the DVD. Every kid in high school should see this. Education of Truth is the Key. . .
And I hate that commercial.
Daddy's trying to protect his little girl. And Mom...
And of course the message in the commercial, is that dad is a prudish idiot, Mom is hip and cool, and the daughter is pretty and innocent.
The reality, Mom is the idiot, Dad is wise and protective, and the daughter is on her way to being a slut unless she wises up, and dad grows a spine.
What a disgusting generation.
Not only is there no stigma, it is viewed as a status symbol. That and you get free daycare, tutoring, and applause for being "A dedicated single mom!"
My wife has students in high school with three or more kids. Think about that.
Yes! NPR.
Padded bikini's for 8 year olds from A & Fitch.
My Mom would not have phrased that as a question. It would have been "You are not wearing that!" Period.

Gift Of Sight
CBA Vision Rehabilitation Services, BOCES and The Jamestown Savings Bank Arena collaborated to make the Progressive Skating & Gymnastics Spectacular a reality for a young girl with vision limitations. CBA Vision Rehabilitation Services provided the Acrobat, an LCD video magnification tool that allows individuals with low vision to magnify and view objects that are near or far on a large 19-inch or 22-inch full-color screen. Jeanne Anderson, a vision rehabilitation teacher with BOCES, and Kurt Silcott of the ice arena worked with Lisa Goodell to make the necessary accommodations to make this an unforgettable night of skating, gymnastics and music.

Selling and buying used aircraft online
When you're ready to buy or sell a preowned aircraft, you'd be wise to start the process by going online. Our own BJTonline.com includes reviews of many models and-particularly in the site's Buyers' Guide section-lots of information about acquiring, financing and insuring aircraft. Many other Web sites can help you research models you're considering or determine demand and pricing for one you want to sell.
Brokers, for example, use Amstat.com and Jetnet.com to track used-aircraft availability, transaction histories, specifications and owner information. Another helpful site is Conklin & de Decker's conklindd.com, which offers variable-cost-per-hour information for numerous models and other free data. (The company also sells software, such as its popular Aircraft Cost Evaluator.) Your broker or acquisition specialist probably subscribes to these companies' services and will be able to help you benefit from their research.
Whether you're a buyer or a seller, you'll want to check out Trade-A-Plane.com, which has long been the big daddy of aviation classifieds. It began as a newsprint tabloid (which still appears three times a month) and has been online for more than a decade. While Trade-A-Plane used to list mostly prop airplanes and turboprops, its database now includes many business jets. You can search by aircraft type and then narrow the search results by model, location and other parameters.
The UK-based AvBuyer.com, from the company that publishes World Aircraft Sales magazine, offers worldwide listings and allows registered users to indicate which aircraft models interest them and to receive e-mail alerts when a desired type comes on the market.
UsedAircraft.com lets you compare specifications for aircraft you're considering. Oddly, however, the site doesn't let you select aircraft for comparison from the listings for a particular type. You have to enter each airplane's registration number into a comparison box.
Like AvBuyer, Aircraft Shopper Online (ASO.com) sends e-mail alerts. This site also delivers an interesting presentation when you search a category. In the jet category, for example, ASO lists all manufacturers and models on the left, with columns showing minimum and maximum prices, and oldest and newest. Drilling down to a specific model, you can see more information, including price, registration and serial numbers, total airframe time and location for the available aircraft.
Controller.com, publisher of the used-aircraft listings magazine found in many FBOs, provides a photo, brief description and seller information for advertised aircraft. Another useful feature offered by this site is a glossary, which can help neophytes figure out the shorthand employed in the aircraft sales business.
The Web designers at GlobalAir.com have figured out a different way of presenting information and making it useful. You select filters to narrow the search to a particular model type, then within that search, select aircraft to compare. The comparisons are neatly laid out and comprehensive, and include a link to specifications provided by Conklin & de Decker, plus detailed information on the particular jet, photos and seller contact information.

Roasted Cauliflower, Brussels Sprouts and Jerusalem Artichokes
Recipe courtesy of Anne Burrell
- Secrets of a Restaurant Chef
- 1 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
- 1 pint Brussels sprouts, cut in 1/2
- 1/2 pound Jerusalem artichokes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch dice
- Extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
DirectionsWatch how to make this recipe.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a large bowl, combine all the vegetables, coat with olive oil and season generously with salt.
Spread the vegetables on a sheet tray in an even layer, don't pile them up. The vegetables don't need to be spread out but they need to be pretty much in a single even layer. If this is not the case, use 2 trays.
Put the vegetables in the preheated oven. 15 minutes into the cooking process, stir the vegetables so they have the chance to brown all over, and rotate the tray to insure even cooking. Repeat this process after another 15 minutes. Roast the vegetables for an additional 15 to 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are roasty brown and should smell almost like popcorn!. Check for doneness. This means taste some! If they aren't very roasty brown, let them go for another few minutes until they are. Season with salt, if needed. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with chives and serve immediately.

RAP226: Sig Sauer 226
RAP4 is proud to announce the release of the latest training tool to law enforcement, the RAP226. A 1-to-1 scale replica of the legendary Sig Sauer 226, the RAP226 is designed to replicate the look, feel, and functionality of the real Sig 226 handgun widely used by law enforcement agencies around the world. The RAP226 is a redesign of the popular RAP17, with enhancements to improve the overall performance and reliability of the marker. The unit design has a new magazine reload mechanism, making each reload easier while also helping to prevent jams. The magazine of the RAP226 been redesigned, too, and is now composed of metal instead of the plastic of the previous version.
The RAP226 functions like a real handgun with strong blowback action. It is powered by a refillable, internal, built-in CO2 reservoir inside the handgrip which can shoot 30 rounds of .43 caliber paintballs per each fill. A RAP226 EX version that uses a 12g disposable CO2 cylinder inside the handgrip is also available, capable of fire 50 shots per cylinder.
Both the slide and internal mechanism are made of hardened metal alloy and steel that can withstand any condition of use. The barrel is made of light-weight aluminum, helping to keep the overall weight of the marker down. The pistol frame is marked by rugged construction that can withstand drops and rough use. This is the most significant improvement of the RAP226, and answers requests by many agencies that the new pistol be able to survive in the training arena.
The RAP226 does not eject shell casings. Up to 10 paintball marking rounds are loaded into a magazine, and the magazine is inserted into the handgrip. Like a real handgun, the RAP226 stops shooting when out of ammunition. The muzzle velocity is adjustable, topping out between 250fps and 300fps. The effective range of the RAP17 is 20m (65ft), and the maximum range is 50m (160ft).
A new "Hard" version of the .43 paintball, specially made for the new RAP226 pistol, is also available. The new paintball is designed to prevent breakage in either the launching chamber or in the barrel.
The RAP226: Sig Sauer 226 is available in October of 2006.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (121 votes).
In short: Grest race. Undulating with plenty of off-road mud and gravel!!Date of review: November 2, 2009
In short: Good, friendly race.In full: I turned up with no expectations and was impressed by the set up. It is described as a 'fun run' so I wasn't expecting it to be a strict 10K or to have official timings but I was hoping to have fun, which I did.Date of review: November 2, 2009
In short: muddy and slippy but a fun and new challengeDate of review: November 2, 2009
In short: very wet but expected.Great atmosphere and very friendlyDate of review: November 2, 2009
In short: Hills but good fun challenge. Lovely friendly/family atmosphere.Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Great fun despite the rain and hills, good to see so many people turn up, will be back next year.Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Great race, friendly and organised. Lots of muddy fun!!In full: I really enjoyed this race. A large part of that due to the cheerfulness and encourangement provided by the Army marshallers as you ran past, despite it being torrential rain and them having to stand in the cold. The bad weather just made the run even more interesting and lots of muddy fun! The organisation was great and i think overall it went very well. I had no problem with the warm up attempt at the beginning, in fact it was actually quite funny and was certainly making people smile in adversity. I don't think the majority of people would have complained about the warm up so much if had it not been tipping down quite so badly at that particular time. The route is interesting with a cheeky hill about half way. I do agree with the comment by one of the reviewers that if some runners choose to walk at points, it would be good if they could allow those still wanting to run to get past. And I also agree with the suggestion of noting times and positions. I will definitely do this again next year. Good fun!Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Challenging 10k with a good mix of hills!! In full: I don't know why people are complaining about the warm-up! Well organised once again, good support from the army. This is the 2nd time we have run this race, the only thing we would say like others is it is a shame there is no recorded times.Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: hard and hilly (and just a LITTLE wet) ;-)In full: I agree with two comments down below.a) What is the point of entering a race if you aren't going to know your finishing position, yes ok, its for charity and I hope a lot of money was raised for the good cause.... but just how difficult is it to record times???????b) what was the point of the warm up. The majority of the runners would have been experienced enough to know how to warm themselves up, the 3 minute delay to the start of the race in the poring rain was just ridiculous! (the warm up for the 3k was more fitting, but not for the main event)Date of review: November 1, 2009
In short: Vey wet, hilly and I didn't get my Tshirt.....In full: The day started with rain and then more rain. The course was very muddy and very hilly. The course goes along tank tracks 4/5kms so it was that kind of mud that sticks to your boots! I was disappointed with organisation, the Army were great and supportive, drinks on route and generally offering support. But no one appeared to be taking peoples times at the end so I have no idea what time I did, think it was about 65min normally run 56mins. Also I lost my voucher for a T-shirt because it was so windy and wet but went to see if they would let me have a T-shirt any way as I clearly had finished the run (wet muddy and had my number on)But I was told NO very disappointed. The other runner were really nice but I have no plans to run it next year.Date of review: November 1, 2009

Newcomers at USF

If you have any general paintball related questions, dont be afraid to ask me, or post in the newbie forum
Posted 30 May 2011 - 01:47 AM
I'm gonna be at USF as well this fall. So first off Welcome to TECHPB! If you're interested in starting to play there are plenty of fields around to start at and I for one would be more than happy to go with you and show you the ropes and such. I can't speak for the club, because I don't know how many of them are actually on here. But I assume a lot of them play tournament style right now. I will play anything.
If you have any general paintball related questions, dont be afraid to ask me, or post in the newbie forum
I'll definitely contact you and see if you're free someday. I didn't want to go out there as a lone wolf with no experience, haha. Sadly, I might not be going for quite a while because I have to get transportation first. I have the money in the bank, but I have not gotten out to to find a decent, affordable car yet. Thanks for your welcoming. I appreciate it.

come out to the club meetings that take place at Blitzkrieg Paintball. The club is full of great players who are helpful, and don't mind one bit showing you some equipment, letting you shoot some different paintball guns, and making arrangements to get you some equipment to try paintball out for the first time.
Sounds awesome. I will be sure to make it out to a few of the meetings next fall.
