In Depth Look At The Great Gatsby English Literature Essay

The concept of heteroglossia is a key element to Bakhtin's study of language and its influences and affects. He writes, "at any given moment of its historical existence, language is heteroglot from top to bottom" and that it "represents the coexistence of socio-ideological contradictions between the present and the past…between different socio-ideological groups" (p.676). It is "these "languages" of heteroglossia" that "intersect each other in a variety of ways, forming new socially typifying languages" (p.676). Bakhtin takes this further and extends the concept to encompass the notion that these varieties of languages, despite what gave them form, "are specific points of view on the world, forms for conceptualizing the world in words…each characterised by its own objects, meanings and values" (p.676). It is this "juxtaposing" of languages in "an environment of social heteroglossia" (p.676) that then allows them to be used in the "unitary plane of the novel" (p.676) where individual languages can be reproduced.
Heteroglossia in the novel is defined by Bakhtin as "another's speech in another's language, serving to express authorial intentions but in a refracted way" (p.681) and it is this speech that then forms a "special type of double-voiced discourse"(p.681). Where voices (and the people or characters that speak them) are different due to age, gender or social standing, this affects how or what someone might say in a particular context which also will differ from what another person may say. These inherent differences between voices should come across in the language used and in a classically monologic novel there is little variety, often staying within a certain social grouping. However, a dialogic text contains different languages (national differences, regional dialects within the national language) which lead to different voices and as a direct result, different people or characters that are more individual and come from different groups. Bakhtin states that "all words have the "taste" of a profession, a genre, a tendency, a party, a particular work, a particular person, a generation, an age group, the day and hour" (p.676). Again, the idea of context comes into language styles as Bakhtin goes on to write, "each word tastes of the context and contexts in which it has lived its socially charged life; all words…are populated by intentions" and "contextual overtones (generic, tendentious, individualistic) are inevitable in the word" (pp. 676-677). This creates a more varied and dialogic discourse and is not only more realistic and representative of real-life but is also important in a literary sense as it adds depth to characters and broadens the perspective of the book and hence, to the reader. Mainly, the idea of dialogism is that dialogue is influenced by many things and is always in relation to other things. As T. S. Eliot wrote in his 1919 essay 'Tradition and the Individual Talent', the past should be altered by the present as much as the present is directed by the past." [9] This is a perfect summary for Bakhtin's ideas of language being responsive by nature and not ever a truly isolated entity. Although not strictly on the same subject as Bakhtin, Eliot is commenting on how the past always influences the present but past occurrences can have a changed meaning or interpretation due to something said or known in the present.
However, the idea that a text could be completely monologic is a difficult concept to accept, as there will always be different voices and differences in even the most united grouping of people. Bakhtin makes the point that within a national language there will be regional dialects, accents, and colloquialisms [10] . All of these separate aspects within a single national language show the variety present in language. It could be argued that a text cannot be wholly monologic, it could have prominent monologic features, yet there is always a level of heteroglossia. Ann Shukman in Bakhtin School Papers: Russian Poetics in Translation vol.10 [11] defines monologic clearly as being "against dialogic" also that it is "a negatively valued quality" (p.154). Just as a monologue is opposite to a dialogue as one is "uninterrupted utterance…speech that brooks no response" (p.154) and the latter is "an exchange of utterances" at its simplest form (p.153). Shukman describes it as "the basic reality of all speech activity…whether a literary work or a replique in an everyday conversation, is angled towards an expected response" (pp.153-154). This is seen clearly in Bakhtin's writings; where monologic texts retain more negative connotations as they could be read to show they are inherently, by straightforward definition, that "what is monologic is closed, completed, q.v. because it is not open to response, q.v." (p.154).
Michael Holquist raises the point that some parts of Bakhtin's theories (theories involving sociological aspects) show that the study of language can go to an extreme of almost being able to act as an anticipation of how a person might behave. The fact that there are so many different types of language that denote so many things socially, economically, personally and nationally means that discourse is one of the most important things about the study of people; the study of discourse, both written in novels but also spoken in everyday life, could be seen as a foundation for communication between people [12] . The diversity that is contained within a single national language are, in themselves, testimony of how truly varied any form of discourse can be.
The ideas of relations are important also as the relations between words and certain types of discourse are a clear part of Bakhtin's thinking. This is furthered by Culler [13] and is linked to the role of the author; the idea that language is constructed of different forms of discourse. Culler highlights the notion of interpretation, which it could be argued has a place within the discussion of different types of language. Culler describes the connections "between different levels of language" (p.30) as not only "relevant in literature" (p.30) but that because it is in
"…literature we are more likely to look for and exploit relations between form and meaning or theme and grammar and, attempting to understand the contribution each element makes to the effect of the whole, find integration, harmony, tension, or dissonance." (p.30)
As Michael Holquist writes, "Bakhtin's ideas have influenced thinking in literary studies, anthropology, linguistics, psychology and social theory" [14] and he cannot be wholly restrained to just literary theories. Due to his wide fields of interest, Bakhtin's work on literature is coloured by not only literary observations and dialogue within text but also the social ramifications of dialogue and what role it plays in everyday life. The more philosophical features of his theories allow a level of personal interpretation and freedom in the application of said theories, as though nothing is ever truly a 'fixed' entity, or should not be. Holquist refers to "Bakhtin's philosophy" (p.14) and whilst "dialogism…is itself not a systematic philosophy"(p.16), "dialogue does not have a place solely in the history of literary theory" (p.15). In Bakhtin's thought, and other influential thinkers and writers that shared a similar stance concerning literature, dialogism is "one of several modern epistemologies that seek to grasp human behaviour through the use humans make of language" (p.15). It is Bakhtin's "dialogic concept of language" (p.15) that he "proposes fundamental" (p.15), in literary theory. In The Great Gatsby [15] , the discourse between the different characters not only allows them to interact but shows motives, agendas, emotion and tension. Although this is supposedly true of discourse between characters in most novels, in The Great Gatsby, the tension and subtlety in some of the speech hints at the history between the characters (for example, Daisy and Gatsby) but also is an integral part of the novel's overall affect to work in the style in which F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote it. It is, arguably, a thought provoking book, written from the point of view of a reflective character (Nick Carraway) who is linked by association and family to the story and serves as a catalyst [16] for Daisy and Gatsby. As well as aiding Gatsby in his efforts to see Daisy, Nick is also involved with the different groups of people, meeting new people, ranging from Daisy, Tom and Jordan to Gatsby's father near the end of the novel. Nick is seen to interact with the social groups whilst not overtly altering his language. Unlike Gatsby, Nick does not generally feel the need to change his language to fit in. At one part early in the novel, Nick observes of Tom and Daisy,
"Their interest rather touched me and made them less remotely rich…" [17]
This idea that their social and financial status isolates them and removes even family members (Daisy being Nick's second cousin) from their elitist grouping highlights not only the social gaps but also the different language they use which sets them apart as initially different. When Nick meets Gatsby for the first time, he realises that appearances and performance (in behaviour or language) cannot completely disguise a person.
"…I was looking at an elegant young roughneck…whose elaborate formality of speech just missed being absurd. Sometime before he introduced himself I'd got a strong impression that he was picking his words with care." (p.32)
No matter how Gatsby attempts to cover up his beginnings or original self and heritage with extravagant parties and expenditure, the language he believes to be the style people want or expect to hear from him is not entirely at ease with his true self. This then leaves Nick to, whether with the character's benefit of hindsight or not, to observe this uncomfortable style of speech which only adds to the image of a façade. Gatsby's use of "old sport" (p.32) could be seen as a stereotypical phrase used by the upper echelons of society which again contrasts to Gatsby true history.
"…I was one of the few guests who had actually been invited. People were not invited - they went there. They got into their automobiles …and somehow ended up at Gatsby's door…and after that they conducted themselves according to the rules of behaviour associated with an amusement park." (p.27)
However, these lines introducing Nick's first party at Gatsby's show a slightly different element to the idea of social gaps and correlating dialogical language. Here, Bakhtin's concept of a "professional stratification of language…the language of the lawyer, the doctor [18] " for example, all use a special type of language, with "their vocabularies" and "specific forms for manifesting intentions" (p.675). This could be applied to Gatsby's situation as, although he is not performing a profession with specialist language, he is playing a specific role. To maintain it and the unofficial authority position it brings, he must speak and act a certain way, different to his norm. People may behave differently in an atmosphere where inhibitions are loosened and from Nick's observation on Page 27, people do not necessarily flock to Gatsby for him himself rather they go for his parties and the situations it produces. Therefore, despite Gatsby's attempt at language not specifically spoken by his social class, the fact that he uses it, however well or badly, shows that he is knowingly uses a form of context specific language, to fit in with or create a particular image and situation. As with the environment of one of his well-known parties, Gatsby is required socially to act and speak a certain way - his behaviour and therefore, his language is anticipated and expected by his guests just as his language is in anticipation to what he thinks people expect from him. This is another key point in Bakhtin's theory on dialogism; the idea that speech is reactionary, in response to something else, some other dialogue as well as being situation dependant - that language is "half-ours and half-someone else's" (p. 685). It is key to note, however, that Nick only notices this apparent flaw in Gatsby after he has been involved in discourse with him; this gives enough opportunity for Nick to not only identify it but also to make a judgement on it and subsequently gives this attempt at pretending to be something Gatsby is not, a negative connotation. As Nick casually questions Gatsby, Fitzgerald constantly makes it clear that Gatsby is not quite at ease with the way he is speaking, "realised that it was not an appropriate reply…he corrected himself…" [19] . It is this sometimes clumsiness or hesitation in his speech that shows a lot about him as a character thus highlighting the idea that how people behave can be seen in the way they speak [20] . Also, the air of mystery surrounding Gatsby's past adds to the ability to easily disguise who he might have been as well as isolates him further. When Daisy exclaims dramatically,
"'They're such beautiful shirts,' she sobbed…'It makes me sad because I've never seen such - such beautiful shirts before.'" [21]
This could be interpreted in several ways. Lockridge examines what they could mean in the context of what the reader already knows of Daisy and her past with Gatsby [22] . On the surface, Daisy's "communion with Gatsby's shirts" (p.14) in shown, but in the context of the novel and the point at which she says this (during a tour of Gatsby house after she has not see him for nearly five years) her reaction could represent a regret of not being with him and her realisation of the life she could have had with Gatsby. The "beautiful shirts" could represent the idea of a life with Gatsby, the idealised dream without any negative or realistic consequences taken into account. After seeing where Gatsby's life is at in 1922, after she married and had a child with another man who is having an affair, Daisy could regret or question her life choices in the realisation of what she could have had (although she herself is wealthy) in a life with Gatsby. Bakhtin's idea of language being "contextual" [23] and in relation to the situation is seen here as in a different situation, Daisy's exclamation over shirts could mean something more materialistic [24] than if she was in Gatsby's house and talking about his shirts specifically, as she was. As Bakhtin's work suggests, speech can reveal more about a person than what they are actually saying, including most commonly, a grouping within society.
The character Nick Carraway, who narrates the story, assumes the omniscient narrator role although it is usually reserved for narration in the third person as a character is not typically able to realistically or believably have knowledge and insight into the whole plot. However, with Nick's narration, he has the benefit of hindsight as the story he recalls happened two years previous in 1922 and has seen the outcome of the events. Third-person narration could be seen to "less overtly dialogic" [25] and as Bakhtin said, this means the "novel comes into contact with the spontaneity of the inconclusive present" [26] and that the "novelist is drawn towards everything that is not yet completed" (p.27). This brings a level of freedom to the text as the reader lives the story at the same time as the characters do, finding out things at the same time, thus sharing reactions, and empathising. The first-person narrator allows the novel to have that level of control that a stereotypical strongly monologic novel could have with the author's voice. Alternatively, it could be seen that the presence of the past's influences on present day limits or constrains the narrative and through this influence, creates a particular perspective for the character and hence, creates monologic features, similar to the interpretation of a third-person narration.
Carraway's narrative is told in a confident tone and mostly due to its first person perspective, Nick Carraway's character is allowed to, quite fully and without outside objection, narrate solely on the events that he is recalling. As they are from his memory, they are instantly open to a level of subjectivity and bias. Due to the nature of this aspect of the novel, The Great Gatsby could arguably have both dialogic and monologic features. Bakhtin's idea that a novel can be split into monologic or dialogic categories is perhaps rather confining in its view. As Bakhtin argues, however novels are, or should always be, inherently and inescapably dialogic as it is impossible to have a neutral type of language or discourse that is entirely unaffected or uninfluenced. Bakhtin argues that due to the "stratifying forces in language, there are not "neutral" words" [27] . Instead of the author passing judgment and being obviously present within the text, the voice of Nick, albeit a character's voice, narrates the story from his arguably limited viewpoint. The idea of Nick assuming the omniscient and sometimes judgemental role as narrator is highlighted in Guy Reynolds 'Introduction' to the novel in the Wordsworth Classics, added in 2001 [28] . He notes that one of the characters, Jordan, "is rumoured to cheat at golf"(p.14) and that despite being relatively "trivial…in Nick's disquieted responses to these stories we sense real intimations of moral collapse" (p.14). Nick himself says of her, later in the novel, "She was incurably dishonest" (p.38) thus reinforcing not only the act of cheating but also the ramification of living such a way. The use of the word "incurably" (p.38) is used most often in relation to physical or mental disease that will never get better or heal, thus giving the connotation of her lies and her lifestyle as slowly killing her, or at the very least, doing her no good in the long- term. Nick takes over the role that Bakhtin labelled as the monologic novel author's role. In this case, the author has a more restricted view so the story is told from this specific angle; there is not a real sense of the author who allows the characters to interact with little obvious bias. Fitzgerald allows Nick to take this role and tell the story from a character's point of view and by doing so limits the typical omniscient and often impartial narrator. Although Bakhtin may have viewed this feature as a more negative one, Nick's character is an observer of the events in the novel, and whilst he a character, the main drama revolves around Daisy and Gatsby's doomed love affair which culminates in Daisy's superficial nature surfacing and Gatsby's ultimate death (p.13)
Bakhtin's theory about discourse, "both written and spoken" [29] , and his argument that a text can be categorised as a dialogic or monologic text are both key to not only reading literature and appreciating it but also speech in everyday life. However, it is difficult to make a strict split between the monologic and the dialogic in literature. The Great Gatsby has aspects that can be interpreted as monologic but is, for the main, dialogic. The social differences between the world Daisy lives in is different to Nick's by simple definition but further, it could be argued that Gatsby's social grouping is between the two, not quite fitting into ether due to Gatsby's desires and background. Through the language used and the exploration within Nick's narration, the "social differentiation…can become extremely acute" (p.675). The influence of social thought in Bakhtin's concepts is clear as, especially in 'Discourse of the novel', the idea of context and situation affecting language is a key theme. Bakhtin states that language is not a fixed notion and that it, and the views it represents, can be "juxtaposed to one another, mutually supplement one another, contradict one another and be interrelated dialogically"(p.674). The different types of language, "social dialects, characteristic group behaviours, professional jargons", according to Bakhtin's work, are "internal stratification present in every language of its historical existence" and is the "prerequisite for the novel as a genre" (p.674) As Bakhtin states in 'Discourse in the novel', taking into account the deeply contextual nature of language and its representation in the novel, discourse is ultimately "not finite, it is open; in each of the new contexts that dialogize it." (p.685). This permanent relationship that language has with a wider social context means that "one's own discourse is gradually and slowly wrought out of others' words that have been acknowledged and assimilated, and the boundaries between the two are at first scarcely perceptible." [30]

Beautiful curtains
I was pleasantly suprised when I recieved my package. I had orderd 2 colors, chocolate brown for the livingrm & blue for my bedroom. Wow, I'm so happy with both. The gromet tops make it so much easier to position & they hang beautifully. The material is so soft & silky. The backs are the same color & I really like this. I couldn't have asked for a better quality of curtain. I will be ordering more for the sliders in the bedroom & livingrm. This definately was a value compared to 'big box stores' that charge 'per panel' & the material doesn't come close to matching these!

As we rapidly close in on Tyson's 25 March release date, the benefits of Iron Mike's enforced absence from the ring are becoming increasingly obvious. In February 1992, when he was convicted of raping a beauty pageant contestant, Tyson's boxing career seemed to be in decline. He was an overweight ex-champion who seemed more interested in enjoying the fruits of his labour than the actual labour itself. This is a deleterious state of mind in any profession, but particularly hazardous when your livelihood depends on trading blows with men intent on rendering you unconscious.
True, he had signed a multi-million-dollar contract to fight the then champion Evander Holyfield, but by then the ferocity that made Tyson the most famous heavyweight since Ali appeared to have lost its animal-like intensity.
Oddly enough, his being convicted of an odious crime did not turn the bulk of the American public against him. Far from it. There was considerable sentiment to the effect that he had been railroaded, set up by a woman who should have known better than to visit Tyson in his hotel room during the early hours of the morning. While the jury in Indianapolis found him guilty, the verdict of the general public, if such a thing can be accurately gauged, was that Tyson was guilty of nothing more than stupidity.
From a boxing perspective, ensuing developments couldn't have worked out better for inmate number 922335. Consider the merry-go-round of title changes that followed Tyson's exit from the fistic stage. Holyfield faltered against Riddick Bowe, Bowe blew it in a return match, and then Holyfield lost again, this time to Michael Moorer. Moorer, in turn, crumbled in his first defence against a 46-year-old grandfather named George Foreman. Meanwhile, the WBC version of the title was picked out of a garbage can by Lennox Lewis, who eventually lost the belt he'd never won in the ring to Tyson's old sparring partner Oliver McCall.
So who better suited to put all the pieces back together again and restore a semblance of sanity than Tyson? He did it before, when he unified the title by methodically beating every other claimant to the throne. But best of all, from Tyson's point of view, is the fact that the present situation has created an opportunity to cash in big time.
When Tyson was indicted, the only mega-match on the horizon was Holyfield. Now, his prospects are practically unlimited. Let us count the ways he can rebuild a bank account that has been gutted by staggering legal expenses. First and foremost is Foreman. The second coming of Big George has been unparalleled in boxing history. Not only is he the oldest man ever to win the heavyweight championship, he is also among the most popular. So popular, in fact, that he will earn approximately $8m for his first defence, on 22 April, against the German no-hoper Axel Schulz, in what should amount to a gym workout. People in the boxing industry have estimated that a Tyson- Foreman match could very well turn out to be boxing's first $100m fight, a statistic that certainly hasn't escaped Foreman's notice.
"I would love to fight Tyson," Foreman said. "That would definitely prove that age is no barrier. It would be the greatest happening since P.T. Barnum. It would be like the elephant standing on two legs, the man being shot out of a canon, the woman with a beard down to the floor. It would be the greatest show on earth."
But far from the only show, McCall has an 8 April date with boxing's other Methuselah, Larry Holmes. If McCall, the "Atomic Bull", is still wearing the WBC belt following that one, much will be made of his former position as Tyson's hired gym-mate. McCall has already fired the first shots in a campaign to get Tyson back in the ring with him, this time in a real match.
"I used to beat Tyson up in the gym, man," McCall said. "I used to bust him up. I had him going to the hospital. I have a photograph of him with a big ice pack on his eye after I beat him up this one Sunday. I don't care how much you try to pump him up, when Tyson closes that door and is sitting by himself, he's going to be thinking: `Damn! Oliver used to beat me up'."
Holyfield, who retired after the loss to Moorer because he was diagnosed as having a heart condition, is also back on the scene after passing a battery of medical tests. He makes his first start in more than a year against Ray Mercer on 20 May and if all goes well in this and subsequent comeback bouts, it won't be long before the public will be clamouring to see his twice- cancelled bout with Tyson rescheduled.
Then there's Bowe, an under-achiever who many believe has the ability to be the best of the lot, and, of course, Lewis. If Lennox's new trainer, Emanuel Steward, can rebuild his confidence and bring out his latent aptitude for the game, and "Big Daddy" Bowe can rediscover the form he displayed beating Holyfield, Tyson will have two more attractive opponents waiting for him.
And let's not forget Frank Bruno, still in the hunt after several failed bids to win a world title. Interestingly, Tyson claimed that he was poorly conditioned when he stopped Bruno in l989. "I was out of shape for that fight," Tyson said. "I was living high on the hog."
Things have reached such a point in the surreal Tyson saga that nothing comes as a shock. Even Buster Douglas, who astonished the world by knocking out Tyson in February 1990, is interested in a re-match, and reportedly back in training for the first time since he lost the title to Holyfield in October 1990.
"I was on top of the boxing world. I was fulfilling a dream," the 33- year-old Douglas said. "You have an idea of how you want it to end, and it doesn't end that way. This is an opportunity for me to go back and make right what went wrong."
But regardless of the tantalising array of fights and fighters awaiting Tyson, the battle over who will control Tyson's destiny figures to be just as vicious, in its own way, as anything seen inside the ring.
"Everybody is going to want a piece of Tyson," said Bowe's manager, Rock Newman. "They're going to be all over him like vultures on a T-bone steak." Speculation about who will promote, manage, and train Tyson has been running rampant for months now. Officially, Tyson already has a manager, two of them in fact. They are John Horne and Rory Holloway, a couple of homeboys that Tyson anointed from his cell, via faxed press release, last summer. How much legal weight this agreement, signed in prison without the benefit of legal counsel, will carry after Tyson's release remains to be seen.
Naturally, Don King is the odds-on favourite to win the promotional derby, and the fact that Horne and Holloway are on his payroll certainly indicates he has the inside track. But nothing is etched in stone at this point, and even the normally verbose King has been unusually cautious when speaking about the subject. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that King is at present under indictment for insurance fraud, and, if convicted, could very well replace Tyson as America's second most famous inmate. (OJ Simpson figures to hold down the top spot for some time to come.) Still, King is far from the only promoter with high hopes.
"Not only do some other promoters think they'll get Mike but there are people on the streets trying to get investors to put up money to promote Mike's fight when he gets out," reported Butch Lewis, the man who guided Michael Spinks's career. "At least half a dozen people, maybe more, think they have a chance to manage or promote Mike."
The question of selecting a trainer is even more wide open. Among the most frequently mentioned candidates are Steward, Panama Lewis, and Tyson's old trainer Kevin Rooney. But that's all rumour and media speculation. When I visited Tyson at the Indiana Youth Center in August 1994 to conduct an interview for the Ring magazine, he sounded very bitter towards trainers in general. "Trainers get more credit than they deserve," Tyson said. "Trainers are glorified cheerleaders, the majority of them, anyway."
My 90-minute visit with Tyson was a unique opportunity to try and peek inside the mind of a fallen celebrity. He clearly felt alienated and angry about what had happened to him, and claimed to "hate the world". He repeatedly stated that he didn't trust anyone. But I sensed that behind the defensive wall of animosity there lurked a hurt and confused human being who wanted, more than anything else, to find somebody who loved him for who he was, and not for what he could do with his fists.
After the formal interview was over and the tape recorder switched off, we had a brief conversation about our families and how everyone makes mistakes in life that they later regret. We were no longer reporter and boxer, just two guys talking. To me, this seemed to be the real Tyson, the man behind the ferocious facade. At one point, he reached over and straightened the lapel of my jacket, an intimate gesture from a person I've known only on a professional basis.
As Tyson turned to leave the room and rejoin the rest of the inmate population, he paused, hand on the doorknob, and looked back over his shoulder. "Write a good story," he said. "I trusted you."
Mike Tyson is not a monster, just another human being with the same hopes and fears as the rest of us. He's done some bad things, but he has paid a price and, it is to be hoped, learnt a few lessons. No one knows what will happen once he leaves prison, but Tyson, just like anyone else, deserves a second chance. For the sake of society, the sport of boxing, and most of all for Tyson himself, let's hope he makes the best of it.

The Canadian Cattlemen's Association is calling for faster aid during livestock emergencies.
The request comes as ranchers in southeast Alberta and southwest Saskatchewan continue to grapple with the fallout from a quarantine of several farms because of bovine tuberculosis.
READ MORE: CFIA says 'five' more cases of bovine TB now confirmed in southeastern Alberta
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has quarantined over 35 farms as it tries to determine the source of the disease and how far it has spread. There have been six confirmed cases so far.
Ottawa has promised financial help for ranchers caught in limbo, but the association is calling for a more permanent solution.

Dr. Jaspinder Komal says the CFIA has not experienced any negative impacts on trade as a result of the outbreak.
"There has been no stoppage, especially with the U.S., of animals going through the border … and we've had no negative reactions from other trading partners." Komal said.
He said the CFIA has not yet pinpointed a cause for the outbreak.

Captain Paul Wellens scored two of his side's four tries as they claimed their first win in five meetings with the Warriors since their defeat at Old Trafford last October. The result also gave Royce Simmons his first derby success.
Like leaders Warrington, who were 47-0 winners over Huddersfield on Friday, Saints will now have next weekend off while Wigan will be back in action at the DW Stadium next Sunday in the second preliminary semi-final.
As the visitors pounded the Wigan line, prop James Graham was thrown back from it before full-back Wellens took Lee Gaskell's pass and cut a fine line to scythe through for the first try.
The influential Jon Wilkin then combined with centre Michael Shenton to get Jonny Lomax racing over for a second and Jamie Foster kicked both conversions before increasing the lead to 14-0 with a penalty on 28 minutes.
Wigan, who had prop Ben Cross making his comeback from a fractured forearm, suffered a blow when second rower Ryan Hoffman limped off midway through the first half and had Andy Coley put on report for a high tackle on Makinson but they gradually clawed their way back into the game.
Saints defence finally cracked in the last move of the first half as Pat Richards crossed. The Ireland international added the goal to make it 14-6 at the break and the gap was down to just two points within three minutes of the re-start. Finch was again the architect of the try, combining with his half-back partner Paul Deacon to suck in the Saints defence before getting O'Loughlin over with a cute inside pass.
The momentum was clearly with the defending champions by then but Saints quickly re-asserted their authority with two tries in a 10-minute spell. Wellens grabbed his second after being put through a gap by Lomax, whose break out of his own half had set up the scoring position, and Foster's fourth goal opened up an eight-point gap.
Wigan thought they had scored again when right winger Josh Charnley got to the line after being only half-stopped by Foster but referees boss Stuart Cummings, pressed into service as video official, ruled he failed to ground the ball. Prop Louie McCarthy-Scarsbrook then charged over for Saints' fourth try and Foster kicked his fifth goal.
Joel Tomkins took Thomas Leuluai's pass to claim a third Wigan try and Richards converted to overtake Colin Tyrer into fourth place in Wigan's all-time scoring list but Saints had earned a big enough cushion to comfortably withstand their hosts' late onslaught.

Just when everyone thought popular and independent music was taking a back seat, two celebrated artistes and a veteran band are returning to the scene in a big way. Indus Creed, India's oldest indie band, Sufi singer Rabbi Shergill and soul musician Lucky Ali are all ready to make comebacks-of-sorts.
While Ali launched his new album Raastaman in the city on Thursday, Indus Creed and Rabbi will look to bring out their collection within the next few months. Ali feels that the setback the independent or alternative music industry faced has never affected him or his business. He will soon also depart on a 25-city 90-day tour around the country to promote his music.
Rabbi, known for his folksy melodies and rock arrangements will release his third album, tentatively titled Cabaret Weimar. But unlike Ali, he feels that the indie music industry is almost defunct now, thanks to Bollywood, "I wish both industries could co-exist to produce a wonderful variety of music," he says.
On the other hand, Indus Creed couldn't be more keyed up for their reunion album. "The music scene has changed a lot, technologically, so we had fun working on the album, which is unlike anything we have released in the past," says guitarist Mahesh Tinaikar."

I'm interested in buying a good set of makeup brushes. I love the MAC ones but they are too expensive. Any recommendations?
|Real Techniques on Jul 24, 2015 @ 10:21 am
I agree, makeup brushes can be ridiculously expensive, and it's hard to justify to yourself spending $30 on a stick with some hair on the end (at least that's how I see it!).
A really good makeup brush line is Real Techniques. It's very popular and not very expensive at all. I think you can find them at Walmart actually! They are really good, seem high quality, and they have a nice design. They are created by these two makeup artist sisters on YouTube with 1.8 million followers, so I think they've got to be quite good!
Here are a couple of reviews:
|Crown Brush on Jul 24, 2015 @ 10:26 am
I discovered the Crown brushes through ipsy...they are WONDERFUL!
|Eco Tools are Good Brushes and Inexpensive on Jul 24, 2015 @ 03:26 pm
I've had really good luck with Eco Tools Brushes. They are inexpensive and fairly good quality for the money. I've included the link below to their website to give you an idea of the range and prices. They don't ship to Canada off the website but you can find them at your local Shopper's Drugmart!
|Brushes on Jul 25, 2015 @ 05:57 pm
It Cosmetics are cruelty free and amazing!
|Agree on Eco Tools on Jul 26, 2015 @ 10:39 pm
If you're not an advanced make up artist and are looking for a basic set of brushes to get the job done, the Eco Tools are a great value / works great ! They can be found at Walmart.
MAC also has seasonal brush kits / sets that are cheaper than buying each individual brush alone
|Brushes on Jul 27, 2015 @ 07:43 am
Every year on boxing day I go to Shoppers Drug Mart and get the Quo brush set. There is a full brush kit with 8- 10 brushes in it and on boxing day they are 50% off they are usually around $50 but after Christmas they are around $20-$25 for the set. I like those brushes but you have to wash them before you use them so that they don't shed.
I also really like the brushes from Sigma Beauty. http://www.sigmabeauty.com/
They are amazing and reasonable prices. For a whole set is around $100 but for individual brushes they are around $20 each. Which is cheaper than Sephora and some other places.
|Affordable brushes on Jul 29, 2015 @ 12:47 am
I started out with a set of MAC brushes but none have really lasted. It's hard to justify spending so much money on brushes that will only fall apart at the barrel or have hairs that will shed after a couple of washes. It's as if manufacturers aren't even putting any effort in it. Just GLUE the damn thing better, for goodness sake!
Once you master the technique, the brushes itself starts to matter a little less. Continually investing in expensive brushes is really not worth it. Eco Tools (https://www.ecotools.com/) brushes wash well, pick up color nicely and don't shed. And best of all, this wallet-friendly line of brushes will not break the bank. I'd suggest giving that a try. Otherwise, the ELF Studio (http://www.eyeslipsface.com/studio/tools/brush-sets/11_piece_brush_collection) brushes are also decent.
|amazon on Jul 29, 2015 @ 02:21 am
I got mine off amazon ,they aren't a brand name or anything but they work pretty good and they were cheap too.

Jan 22, 2013Riven for iPad is everything the game was in 1997, but more. The tactile nature of touchscreen gaming adds a degree of inquisitive immersion that a mouse and keyboard can't.

Disclaimer- I do not own NCIS or any of its characters.
Author's Note: So after a few days of contemplating the season premiere, I've come to the decision that I wasn't satisfied. I've seen a few of these stories so I'm sure I'm not the only one who has thought so. This is going to explore what would have happened if Tim was more hurt then he actually was. I hope you guys enjoy. Please read and review.
"Hey, stop."
Tim turned to look at his boss. Gibbs approached him and bent down. Tim looked curiously at the older man as he moved his jacket aside. There was a huge chunk of glass in his stomach.
"Uh oh." He said, not completely understanding the severity of the situation.
"Can I get some help over here?" Gibbs yelled over his shoulder. The relief that he felt when he saw Tim upright and okay just a few minutes earlier was now gone. This could be a very bad situation and McGee was too disconnected to realize it.
A few firemen who had been in what was left of the squad room quickly made their way over to the two agents and immediately got to work. Soon Tim was off in an ambulance to Bethesda.
After seeing the younger man off, Gibbs made his way back to the building, wishing he could have gone with McGee. All of a sudden he saw Abby running towards him.
"Gibbs! Gibbs! Who was that?" the Goth yelled. "I haven't seen any of the team yet. Are they okay? Is it Tony or Ziva?"
Gibbs grabbed her arms. "Tony and Ziva are fine, they're just stuck in the elevator." Before he could finish explaining the situation, she cut him off.
"Elevator?! Who gets in an elevator during an evacuation? They teach you that in like Kindergarten."
"I know, Abbs and believe me we'll be having a talk about that when this is all over but for now they're fine and that's all that matters. McGee on the other hand…" again, he was cut off.
"Tim? Was that him in the ambulance? It can't be. Tim never gets hurt." She said, starting to panic again.
"Yes, it was Tim. Abbs, you have to calm down." He told her.
"Calm down? Calm down? NCIS just got blown up, the man who did it is still out there, and Tim's in the hospital!" she yelled. "What's wrong with him?" she asked, hoping it wasn't anything too serious.
"He was in the squad room when the bomb went off, right by the windows. When I found him, he seemed okay but when he was about to leave to get some fresh air, I noticed a piece of glass from the windows coming out of his side." Gibbs explained.
"How did he not notice that?" Abby questioned, confused. How does somebody not realizing something wrong? Didn't it hurt?
"He was in shock, Abbs." He told her.
"Who's with him?"
"He's alone! I should go with him." She said.
"He'll be fine, Abby. Probably just needs a few stiches. Right now, we're needed here." He said.
"Are you sure he'll be fine?" Abby asked, still a little worried.
"Positive." Gibbs reassured her. He hoped he wasn't made to be a liar. There was no telling just how deep the piece of glass had actually gone.
The paramedics wheeled a gurney into the emergency room of Bethesda Naval Hospital. "We've got another one!" one of them yelled.
Already tired doctors came running towards them and began taking the man's vitals.
"He has a piece of glass embedded to the left side. Patient was in shock initially but began to panicking on the way here so we had to sedate him." A different paramedic told them.
"We need to see how deep the wound is before we attempt to remove it. Get him to x-ray." One of the doctors shouted and they took off down a hallway.
After they were gone, one of the nurses grabbed a paramedic. "Did anybody come with him?" she asked.
The man shook his head. "No, everything's so hectic over there. His boss sent him over with us." He told her.
"Do you have a name?"
"Special Agent Timothy McGee"
"Okay, I'll see if I can find an emergency contact." The nurse said as she made her way over to the nurse's station. She sat down at a computer and searched the name. A file popped up and she quickly scanned it for a phone number. The man had his sister listed as his next of kin but when she called, there was no answer. The nurse sighed and looked back at the file and found another number. There was an answer this time. "Hello my name is Angela Allen; I'm a nurse at Bethesda Naval Hospital. I'm calling concerning Agent McGee…"
It was hot, really, really hot. They had been stuck in the elevator for hours and all the wanted was to get out. Tony shifted again and turned his head towards his partner. "Do you think they're okay?" he asked.
Ziva didn't have to ask who 'they' were. She knew he was talking about their team. "I do not know." She said. "I have not wanted to think about it."
"I'm sure Gibbs is okay. Nothing stops Gibbs. And if Gibbs is okay, that means that Abby is because he'd never let anything happen to her." Tony reasoned.
"And what about McGee?" Ziva questioned.
Tony sighed, "I don't know. Where was he the last time you saw him?"
"The bullpen, I think." She answered. "He was at his computer."
"I'm sure he had plenty of time to get out."
"Yes, I am as well."
The silence returned. Both contemplated the rest of their team. Even with their reassurance to each other, they were still worried. Suddenly, the James Bond theme song started to play. Tony scrambled up to pull out his phone, which he hadn't realized had regained a signal, while Ziva rolled her eyes at his choice in ringtone.
"Hello." Tony answered, not even bothering to check the caller ID.
"Hello, my name is Angela Allen; I'm a nurse at Bethesda Naval Hospital. I'm calling concerning Agent McGee. Is this Agent DiNozzo?"
"Yes, this is Agent DiNozzo. What's wrong with McGee?" he asked, panic in his voice.
Ziva watched as Tony paced the small space with worry clear on his face. When he hung up, she jumped up. "What's wrong? Is McGee okay?"
Tony shrugged. "I don't know. They just called me because he was at the hospital alone. The nurse I talked to doesn't know what his condition is yet." He informed her.
"Are you his emergency contact?" she asked.
"His second. They only call me if they can't get a hold of Sarah. He asked me a few years ago." He explained. Tony picked up the phone again and tried to call Gibbs but it went right to voicemail. Tony cursed and dialed again, this time to Abby. It rang for a while but still nobody answered. Anger and worry mounted within him. Finally he tried his last hope. Thankfully, this one answered.
"Director, its DiNozzo." He replied.
"Agent DiNozzo, are you and Agent David okay?" Vance asked.
"Physically yes, but we might go crazy if we don't get out of here soon." Tony told him.
"We're working on it." The director assured.
"Thanks. Is Gibbs around?"
"Yes, hold on." The phone was passed on. "Tony?"
"Hey, Boss, you guys okay?" Tony asked.
"Me and Abby are fine. What about you two?"
"We're fine, but Tim's not." He said.
"How'd you know?" Gibbs questioned.
"I just got a call from Bethesda." Tony explained.
"How is he?" the other agent asked.
"They don't know yet." Tony said with a sigh.
"He'll be okay DiNozzo." Gibbs assured.
"I hope so, Boss. I really do."

In an effort to save expenses, enterprises think they can avoid training their teams. How does skimping on training truly impact the performance of the individual and the health of the overall organization? For IT leaders, these are critical questions that they must consider. What is the cost of a team without expertise?
Automating the provisioning and configuration of Red Hat Mobile Application Platform
In the second part of this two-part series that is focused on applying contemporary application development practices like continuous delivery and DevOps to mobile application development, I will demonstrate how to use Ansible to fully automate the deployment of a Mobile Application Platform, running on OpenShift Container Platform. I will then walk through a tutorial of how to use Jenkins to create a continuous delivery pipeline for doing mobile app development.
A step-by-step tutorial for continuous integration with Jenkins on a Red Hat Mobile Native Android application: Part 2
In part one of our series, we established the process around creating an Android application using Red Hat's Mobile Application Platform and adding unit tests. Now, we'll walk through how to use Jenkins for continuous integration on this app.
Webinar | Deploying scalable Heat stacks
A step-by-step tutorial for continuous integration with Jenkins for a Red Hat Mobile Native Android application: Part 1
The dramatic influx of mobile application development has driven many new innovations that make it easier than ever to create compelling, flexible, and secure applications. This two-part series details my work done at Red Hat's Open Innovation Labs to capture these mobile innovations in a useful, repeatable way. In part one of this two-part series, I break down the steps to create and unit test a native android application using Red Hat's Mobile Application Platform. In part two, I show how Jenkins can be used to automate continuous integration and unit testing of that Mobile app.
Applying Continuous Delivery and DevOps Automation to Mobile Application Development
Red Hat Open Innovation Labs is a new offering committed to helping our customers accelerate innovation, and create the solutions that meet their business challenges. As mobile application development becomes an increasingly important function within companies, customers have been asking us for advice on how to best apply the principles of continuous delivery and DevOps to their mobile application development.This was particularly exciting to me. Red Hat already has great technology to support enterprise mobile. And at Labs, we have a fantastic platform for accelerating application delivery. Together, we had a great opportunity to combine our efforts and build a phenomenal, turnkey solution.
Choosing a Platform Based on Workload Characteristics
Paradoxically, there has never been a better or more confusing time to discuss which platform is most appropriate for a given workload. As we seek to solve problems around automation, continuous integration / continuous delivery, ease of upgrades, operational complexity, uptime, compliance, and many other complex issues – it quickly becomes clear that there are more than a few viable options. Making matters worse – there is too much focus on the "how" (to adopt a given platform) and not enough focus onthe "why". To this end, I'd like to address more of the "why" in an attempt to better influence the "how".
Closing the gap between theory and practice
Increasingly, as customers look to optimize their systems, design new solutions, or integrate new technologies, they seek the guidance, practical advice, and deep expertise to introduce new solutions. Day in and day out, our consultants are called on to draw from their experience in the field — across industry, vertical, business size, and region — to provide customers with the insights, practices, models, and plans that meet their needs and challenges.

Leadership Louisville Center's "Destination: LEADERSHIP" Campaign 88% to Goal
Just a few months into the fundraising effort, over $2.6 million has been pledged thanks to the generous support of leadership investors including:
- James Graham Brown Foundation
- PNC Foundation
- Ed Glasscock
- Sandra Frazier
- Lift a Life Foundation
- Brown-Forman Corporation
- Humana Foundation
- Lindy and Bill Street
- Ina Brown Bond
- Gheens Foundation
- Norton Healthcare
- D.D. Williamson & Co., Inc.
For nearly four decades, the Leadership Louisville Center has been committed to growing the pillars of our community, and has established itself as a critical institution for cultivating business and civic leaders, creating a lifelong network of people who have a heart for our community. Over 7,000 individuals, many of our region's most active and influential leaders, are alumni of the civic programs: Leadership Louisville, Focus Louisville, Bingham Fellows, Ignite Louisville and Encore Louisville. The Center is now calling on alumni and community friends to invest in having a world-class Leadership Center. A Center that builds our region's leaders, and also attracts others from across the country to attend leadership programs in Louisville.
"We're thankful for the generosity of the many organizations and individuals who share our vision for the future of the Leadership Louisville Center. They understand that everything we can do to bring more people together and improve their ability to lead comes back to us tenfold," said Ed Glasscock, chair of the Destination: LEADERSHIP campaign. "We all see the potential of this major community asset and look forward to our alumni and friends taking us to our next campaign milestone and making our bold vision a reality."
About 707 West Main Street
"As the Leadership Louisville Center expands its offerings, its role as a community convener and regional leadership development provider is limited in our current space," said Cynthia Knapek, president of the Leadership Louisville Center. "Our board is implementing a vision for a new home for the Leadership Louisville Center – a place to convene, to collaborate, to connect. A place that benefits the entire community. A place that will be a world-class destination for all those who believe leaders must truly be lifelong learners."
The Center's search for a new location began in January 2016 with goals to have great visibility, easy access for members and open and collaborative meeting and classroom space for members and staff. After months of evaluation, 707 West Main Street, which is a two-story office condominium unit containing 10,000 square feet located in a historic building, was determined to be the best fit for the organization. It is a rare opportunity to find space on a prime corner of the downtown with street-level presence, windows on three sides with views of the Ohio River and Fort Nelson Park, access to green space for outdoor training sessions and close proximity to hotels and after-hours activities for out-of-town participants. The Center plans to move in to the new space in summer 2017.
About the Leadership Louisville Center
Created in 1979, the Leadership Louisville Center is the region's most valuable resource for leadership development and civic engagement. Its mission is to grow and connect a diverse network of leaders who serve as catalysts for a world-class community through dynamic programming and strong community connections. Over 7,000 community leaders have graduated from the Center's programs that include Leadership Louisville, Focus Louisville, Ignite Louisville, Bingham Fellows, and Encore Louisville. The Leadership Green Room was launched in 2015 and serves as the training and talent development arm of the Center, expanding the resources available to the region's business community and employee base. In 2011, the Leadership Louisville Center was recognized as one of the top seven community leadership programs in the U.S. in a benchmark study by the Center for Creative Leadership, the "gold standard" global provider of executive leadership education and research.

Fat Transfer
Fat transfer, also called autologous fat transplantation, is regaining popularity as a more natural and long-lasting way to add significant volume to the face utilizing unwanted fat taken from another area of your body. Fat transfers are a safe, non-allergenic way to recontour the face and add definition to the cheeks, lower eyelids and chin that gives a very natural result. You can also use fat transfers to correct atrophic aging of hands, post-surgical scars and post-traumatic defects as well as correcting facial deformities. Since the fat that is injected comes from your own body (typically the abdomen, thighs, or hips) there is no chance of an allergic reaction or "rejection" that can occur from using synthetic fillers.
Here's the breakdown:
Fat is harvested via a small cannula (a dull instrument shaped like a needle) using local anesthetic. Common areas for harvesting are the thighs and abdomen or hips. The fat is then separated from the anesthetic solution and prepared in single syringes that are immediately injected into the face and/or hands to replace volume in the most natural way.
The most common areas treated are:
Cheek enhancement, dark circles under eyes, hand rejuvenation, laugh lines or marionette lines, forehead lines, near the eyebrows to create an eyebrow lift and glabella or "11s" between the eyebrows.
How to prep:
Patients are to avoid aspirin, ibuprofen and nonsteroidal anti- inflammatory medications and alcohol for one week prior to the procedure, along with supplements and herbal remedy's such as vitamin C, E, fish oil and coQ10. For a full list of all supplements and medications, please view our Pre-Operative and Post-Operative Blog or contact our concierge Registered Nurse for exact instructions.
What to expect:
Patients report mild swelling and slight tenderness for about one week. Fat transferred to the face can last as long as 5-10 years and is very cost effective when dealing with significant volume loss.
Since the fat we are reinjecting is your own, there's no chance of an allergic reaction. When the fat is harvested during liposuction, it is often possible to harvest a larger amount of fat, then freeze and store the fat for injections when they become necessary. Fat grafts can be frozen and saved from twelve to eighteen months before they are disposed. Most patients will require a touch-up at the 6-12 month mark.
