A dystopia is a community or society, usually fictional, that is in some important way undesirable or frightening. It is the opposite of a utopia. Such societies appear in many works of fiction, particularly in stories set in a speculative future. Dystopias are often characterized by dehumanization,[1] totalitarian governments, environmental disaster,[2] or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society. Elements of dystopias may vary from environmental to political and social issues. Dystopian societies have culminated in a broad series of sub-genres of fiction and are often used to raise real-world issues regarding society, environment, politics, religion, psychology, spirituality, or technology that may become present in the future. For this reason, dystopias have taken the form of a multitude of speculations, such as pollution, poverty, societal collapse, political repression, or totalitarianism.
Famous depictions of dystopian societies include R.U.R., which introduces the term Robot and the modern Robot concept along with the first Androids due to being organic, and is the first elaborate depiction of a machine take-over.[3]; Nineteen Eighty-Four, a totalitarian invasive super state; Brave New World, where the human population is placed under a caste of psychological allocation; Fahrenheit 451, where the state burns books out of fear of what they may incite; The Hunger Games, a government that controls its people by maintaining a constant state of fear through fights to the death. The Iron Heel was described by Erich Fromm as "the earliest of the modern Dystopian".[4]
The word comes from Ancient Greek: δυσ-, "bad, hard",[5] and Ancient Greek: τόπος, "place, landscape".[6] It can alternatively be called cacotopia,[7][8] or anti-utopia.
The word dystopia represents a counterpart of utopia, a term originally coined by Thomas More in his book of that title completed in 1516.[9]
The first known use of dystopian, as recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary, is a speech given before the British House of Commons by John Stuart Mill in 1868, in which Mill denounced the government's Irish land policy: "It is, perhaps, too complimentary to call them Utopians, they ought rather to be called dys-topians, or caco-topians. What is commonly called Utopian is something too good to be practicable; but what they appear to favour is too bad to be practicable."[10][11][3][12]
Counter-utopia and anti-utopia[edit]
Many dystopias found in fictional and artistic works present a utopian society with at least one fatal flaw;[13] whereas a utopian society is founded on the good life, a dystopian society's dreams of improvement are overshadowed by stimulating fears of the "ugly consequences of present-day behavior."[14] People are alienated and individualism is restricted by the government. An early example of a dystopian novel is Rasselas (1759), by Samuel Johnson, set in Ethiopia.
In the Russian novel We by Yevgeny Zamyatin, which was first published in English in 1924, people are permitted to live out of public view twice a week for one hour. They are only referred to by numbers instead of names, but are "ciphers" which are neither. In the novel Brave New World, written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley, a class system is prenatally designated in terms of Alphas, Betas, Gammas, Deltas, and Epsilons. Among the lower castes, single embryos are "bokanovskified", so that they produce between eight and ninety-six identical siblings, making the citizens as uniform as possible.[15]
Some dystopian works emphasize the pressure to conform in terms of a requirement not to excel. In these works, the society is ruthlessly egalitarian, in which ability and accomplishment, or even competence, are suppressed or stigmatized as forms of inequality, as in Kurt Vonnegut's Harrison Bergeron. Similarly, in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the dystopia represses the intellectuals with particular force,[16]
Violence is prevalent in many dystopias; either in the form of war (Nineteen Eighty-Four), rampant crime met by summary justice or vigilantism (e.g. Judge Dredd, Mad Max), or blood sports (e.g. Hunger Games, The Running Man).
Social groups[edit]
Concepts and symbols of religion may come under attack in a dystopia. In Brave New World, for example, the establishment of the state included lopping off the tops of all crosses (as symbols of Christianity) to make them "T"s, (as symbols of Henry Ford's Model T).[17] But compare Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale, wherein a Christianity-based theocratic regime rules the future United States.[18]
Some fictional dystopias, such as Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451, have eradicated the family and deploy continuing efforts to keep it from reestablishing itself as a social institution. In Brave New World, where children are reproduced artificially, the concepts "mother" and "father" are considered obscene. In some novels, the State is hostile to motherhood: for example, in Nineteen Eighty-Four, children are organized to spy on their parents; and in We, the escape of a pregnant woman from OneState is a revolt.[19]
Fictional dystopias are commonly urban and frequently isolate their characters from all contact with the natural world.[20] Sometimes they require their characters to avoid nature, as when walks are regarded as dangerously anti-social in Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451.[citation needed] In Brave New World, the lower classes of society are conditioned to be afraid of nature, but also to visit the countryside and consume transportation and games to stabilize society.[citation needed] Excessive pollution that destroys nature is common in many dystopian films, such as Avatar, Robocop, Wall-E, and Soylent Green. A few "green" fictional dystopias do exist, such as in Michael Carson's short story "The Punishment of Luxury", and Russell Hoban's Riddley Walker. The latter is set in the aftermath of nuclear war, "a post-nuclear holocaust Kent, where technology has reduced to the level of the Iron Age".[21][citation needed]
In When the Sleeper Wakes, H. G. Wells depicted the governing class as hedonistic and shallow.[22] George Orwell contrasted Wells's world to that depicted in Jack London's The Iron Heel, where the dystopian rulers are brutal and dedicated to the point of fanaticism, which Orwell considered more plausible.[23]
Whereas the political principles at the root of fictional utopias (or "perfect worlds") are idealistic in principle, intending positive consequences for their inhabitants,[24] the political principles on which fictional dystopias are based are flawed and result in negative consequences for the inhabitants of the dystopian world, which is portrayed as oppressive.[13]
Dystopias are often filled with pessimistic views of the ruling class or government that is brutal or uncaring ruling with an "iron hand" or "iron fist".[citation needed] These dystopian government establishments often have protagonists or groups that lead a "resistance" to enact change within their government.[25]
There are also many dystopias in which the government is weak, and businesses control a very corrupt government. Many of these dystopias are characterized by inequality and oppression of the lower class.
Dystopian political situations are depicted in novels such as Parable of the Sower, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World and Fahrenheit 451; and in such films as Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Brazil, The Hunger Games, FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions, and Soylent Green.
The economic structures of dystopian societies in literature and other media have many variations, as the economy often relates directly to the elements that the writer is depicting as the source of the oppression. However, there are several archetypes that such societies tend to follow.
A commonly occurring theme is that the state plans the economy, as shown in such works as Ayn Rand's Anthem and Henry Kuttner's short story The Iron Standard. A contrasting theme is where the planned economy is planned and controlled by corporatist and fascist elements. A prime example of this is reflected in Norman Jewison's 1975 Rollerball. Some dystopias, such as Nineteen Eighty-Four, feature black markets with goods that are dangerous and difficult to obtain, or the characters may be totally at the mercy of the state-controlled economy. Such systems usually have a lack of efficiency, as seen in stories like Philip Jose Farmer's Riders of the Purple Wage, featuring a bloated welfare system in which total freedom from responsibility has encouraged an underclass prone to any form of antisocial behavior. Kurt Vonnegut's Player Piano depicts a dystopia in which the centrally controlled economic system has indeed made material abundance plentiful, but deprived the mass of humanity of meaningful labor; virtually all work is menial and unsatisfying, and only a small number of the small group that achieves education is admitted to the elite and its work.[26]
Even in dystopias where the economic system is not the source of the society's flaws, as in Brave New World, the state often controls the economy. In Brave New World, a character, reacting with horror to the suggestion of not being part of the social body, cites as a reason that everyone works for everyone else.[27]
Other works feature extensive privatization and corporatism, where privately owned and unaccountable large corporations have effectively replaced the government in setting policy and making decisions. They manipulate, infiltrate, control, bribe, are contracted by, or otherwise function as government. This is seen in the novel Jennifer Government and the movies Alien, Avatar, Robocop, Visioneers, Max Headroom, Soylent Green, THX 1138, WALL‑E and Rollerball. Rule-by-corporation is common in the cyberpunk genre, as in Philip K. Dick's Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (made into the movie Blade Runner) and Snow Crash.
Of course, there are some socialist dystopias, although they usually are not as popular a capitalist and fascist dystopias. These often depict a government that does everything in its power to eliminate business and ensure economic equality, which results in an unproductive society where people starve. Usually, some elements of fascism are also used, such as an oppressive ruling class (although the writer doesn't emphasize inequality) and a "secret police" force that watches the population. In fact, many of these dystopias are modeled after Communist Russia.
Some examples of socialist dystopias are Nineteen Eighty-Four, Player Piano, and Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged.
Caste systems[edit]
This section may contain original research. (May 2009) |
In dystopian literature the advanced technology is controlled exclusively by the group in power, while the oppressed population is limited to technology comparable to or more primitive than what we have today.[citation needed] In order to emphasize the degeneration of society, the standard of living among the lower and middle classes is generally poorer than that of their equivalents in contemporary industrialized society.
In Nineteen Eighty-Four the Inner Party, the upper class of society, also has a standard of living that at least appears lower than the upper classes of today.[28]
In contrast to Nineteen Eighty-Four, in Brave New World, and Equilibrium, people enjoy much higher material living-standards in exchange for the loss of other qualities in their lives, such as independent thought and emotional depth.[citation needed] In Fahrenheit 451, humanity lives in a glorious state of comfort, but has given up the meaning of life, and views death and love as misconveniences.
In some dystopias, advanced technology is available to everyone, but the lower class can't afford advanced electronics and other devices. These dystopias usually don't have a totalitarian government, but a government that is controlled by businesses. Some examples of these dystopias are Blade Runner and Robocop.
In Ypsilon Minus by Herbert W. Franke, people are divided into numerous alphabetically ranked groups. Similarly, in Brave New World, people are divided into castes ranging from Alpha-Plus to Epsilon, with the lower classes having reduced brain-function and special conditioning to make them satisfied with their position in life.
Dystopia as impending course of things[edit]
A recently proposed view considers Evolution as a progressive entanglement of lower tier elements to higher tier systems, with synergetic overall gains at cost of loss of freedom for the lower tier elements (particles entangle to atoms, atoms to molecules, molecules to cells, cells to biological organism, biological organisms to social organisms). [29] According to that view the "Social Constructs" (social organisms formed by ideas and organizations) are relentlessly aiming at their synergetic self-optimization, by an increased uniformation and parametrization of the human individuals. To a moderate extent this delivers the blessing of civilization, in excess the bane of dystopia. The "progress" toward excessive self-optimization of Social Constructs must be curtailed, because the Human Individual needs to preserve a minimum level of unbrided complexity inherent to his biological lower tier in order to continue to be human and not a robot or a streamlined parameter.
Notable dystopias[edit]
- When The Sleeper Wakes (1899) by H. G. Wells[30] features a 22nd-century dehumanized, industrialized society with a caste system, ruled by the name of Sleeper, a lethargic "owner" of all the world's industry.
- R.U.R. (1920) by Karel Čapek. A science fiction play in the Czech language, R.U.R. stands for Rossum's Universal Robots. It premiered in 1921 and introduced the modern Robot concept, and the word "Robot" invented by his brother Josef Čapek, to the English language and to science fiction as a whole. Čapek's robots can also be seen as the first androids: they are in fact organic. Despite being vastly underrated since it's popular debut, displaced by the works of writers not properly crediting Capek to follow, R.U.R. is the first elaborate depiction of a machine take-over,[31] and thus influencing all subsequent Science Fiction morality tales involving Robots, Automatons, Clones, and Androids to follow.
- We (1921) by Yevgeny Zamyatin. A satire of the newly-established Soviet Union, and of what the future of Russia might hold.
- Brave New World (1931) - Aldous Huxley's satire of modern hedonistic society.
- Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949) by George Orwell, a popular and perhaps the most famous example of a dystopia in modern culture.
- Fahrenheit 451 (1953) by Ray Bradbury - The novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed. A film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451 was released in 1966.
- A Clockwork Orange (1962) by Anthony Burgess - A satire portraying a future and dystopian Western society with—based on contemporary trends—a culture of extreme youth rebellion and violence: it explores the violent nature of humans, human free will to choose between good or evil, and the desolation of free will as a solution to evil.
- Blade Runner (1982) directed by Ridley Scott, dystopian science fiction action film.
- The Terminator (1984) - A film that involves a humanoid machine (called a terminator) from the future attempting to assassinate Sarah Connor. Some scenes of the film show a post-apocalyptic future where a computer (called Skynet) has attempted to exterminate humanity by launching nuclear weapons (turns out, skynet only killed about 50% of the human population). Sarah Connor happens to be the mother of John Connor, who is the leader of the human resistance against Skynet and its machine armies in the future.
- Terminator 2: Judgement Day (1991) - A very popular film that involves a more-advanced terminator robot trying to assassinate young John Connor. A reprogrammed terminator robot has also been sent back to protect John. Some scenes show a post-apocalyptic year 2029 where the human resistance has almost overthrown skynet. The future looks just like the future described in the first Terminator movie.
- Virtual Light (1993) by William Gibson depicts a world (in 2006) where corporations dominate society, the middle class has gone, and wealthy, powerful elites dominate government. The book is set in a divided Southern California (SoCal) separated from the north of the former state (NoCal). As a sign of the collapse of the efficacy of democratic politics, the president is black.
- The Giver (1993) by Lois Lowry depicts a future in which human society has largely rid itself of strife by minimizing the individual capacity for choice, love, and knowledge. The story develops around an adolescent boy, Jonas, who is tasked with preserving a secret cache of cultural memory.
- Uglies (novel series) (2005-2007). Uglies follows the story of Tally Youngblood, a sixteen-year-old girl living in the 24th century. By this time in humanity's future, a new type of society has been formed after a disastrous oil-bug was released upon the planet that killed 98% of the human population and left many cities in ruins. The new society is composed of about one hundred small post-scarcity independently-run city states, spread out across the seven continents, which now have different coastlines due to modern-societies global warming. The new society holds three values at its core: Sustainability, Peace, and Equality. The new society promotes these values through the use of The Surge, a type of extreme cosmetic surgery that all citizens undergo at the median age of 16. The Surge transforms ordinary humans into paragons of beauty, right down to perfect facial symmetry. New Pretties are given access to life in New Pretty Town, the innermost part of the city where food, shelter, and entertainment are provided by the government free of charge. Within the post-Surge part of a persons life, everyone's common beauty inspires peace and equality among the citizens.
- Unwind (2007) by Neal Shusterman - After a civil war in the near future, a compromise between Pro-life and Pro-choice was reached in the form of "The Bill of Life" and "unwinding", which allows parents of children between 13-18 to have their children's organs harvested, in what can only be described as a retroactive abortion.
- Gone (novel series) (2008-Present). The series is centered around the fictional American town of Perdido Beach. Every human 15 and older vanishes, and the town and surrounding areas (later named the FAYZ) are encased within an impenetrable bubble. Many of the people and wildlife develop supernatural powers.
- After the Fear[32] (2008) by Rosanne Rivers takes place following a financial collapse that has left Great Britain in so much debt they begin sacrificing lives during "demonstrations" to raise money to pay back those debts.
- The Hunger Games (2008) by Suzanne Collins is set in a post-war North America called "Panem", which is composed of an extravagant capital and twelve poverty-stricken districts that each specialize in making a certain type of products for the capitol, for example, farming and mining. They have a totalitarian government that forces each district to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen each year to fight to the death in the Hunger Games.
- The Drowned World, Crash, and The Drought are all examples of the dysptopian fiction by well known English writer, J.G. Ballard. Human descent into chaos and humanity bringing about destruction by technology are common themes of his novels.
- Terminator Salvation (2009) - a film, like its preceding terminator films, that describes a future (more specifically 2018) in which the human resistance fights to overthrow skynet. Unlike its preceding films, it contains no scenes of the past. The film takes place ONLY in the future.
- "The Unit" (2009) by Swedish author Ninni Holmqvist - Single, childless adults aged 50 and over are deemed 'dispensable' and are sent to a home separate from society. At the home, they have relative freedom but must periodically undergo organ harvest in order to maintain the 'useful' childbearing/successful members of society.[33]
- The book Worldshaker (2009) by Richard Harland is set in a neo‑Victorian ship where the rich live above in luxury and the poor workers toil below. The plot is much like the silent film classic Metropolis.
- Divergent (2011) by Veronica Roth - In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago world, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue—Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is—she cannot have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself.
- Wool (2012) by Hugh Howey - The story of Wool takes place on a post-apocalyptic Earth. Humanity clings to survival in the Silos, a subterranean city extending hundreds of stories beneath the surface. The world outside has been destroyed, the view of it limited, talk of it forbidden. But there are always those who hope, who dream. These are the dangerous people, the residents who infect others with their optimism. Their punishment is simple. They are given the very thing they profess to want: They are allowed outside.
- Infamous: Second Son (2013) - A video game that takes place in an undefined point in the near future when The United Sates Government is attempting to capture any people with supernatural powers (Which the government calls "bioterrorists") through an agency called the D.U.P. (Department of United Defense). The D.U.P. has set up millions of security cameras across the country to find "bioterrorist" (and control the population). Young protagonist, Delsin Rowe, figures out that he has supernatural powers, which alerts the D.U.P. Overtime, Delsin tries to avoid arrest and overthrow the totalitarian government.
Characteristics of dystopian fiction[edit]
This section may contain original research. (May 2009) |
As fictional dystopias are often set in a future projected virtual time and/or space involving technological innovations not accessible in actual present reality, dystopian fiction is often classified generically as science fiction, a subgenre of speculative fiction.
Back stories[edit]
Because a fictional universe has to be constructed, a selectively told backstory of a war, revolution, uprising, critical overpopulation, or other disaster is often introduced early in the narrative. This results in a shift in emphasis of control, from previous systems of government to a government run by corporations, totalitarian dictatorships or bureaucracies; or from previous social norms to a changed society and new (and often disturbing) social norms.
Because dystopian literature typically depicts events that take place in the future, it often features technology more advanced than that of contemporary society.
Unlike utopian fiction, which often features an outsider to have the world shown to him/her, dystopias seldom feature an outsider as the protagonist. While such a character would more clearly understand the nature of the society, based on comparison to their society, the knowledge of the outside culture subverts the power of the dystopia. When such outsiders are major characters—such as John the Savage in Brave New World—their societies cannot assist them against the dystopia.
The story usually centers on a protagonist who questions the society, often feeling intuitively that something is terribly wrong, such as Guy Montag in Ray Bradbury's novella Fahrenheit 451, Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four, or V in Alan Moore's V for Vendetta. The hero comes to believe that escape or even overturning the social order is possible and decides to act at the risk of their own life; this may appear as irrational even to him/her, but they still act.[34] The hero's point of view usually clashes with the others' perception, most notably in Brave New World, revealing that concepts of utopia and dystopia are tied to each other and the only difference between them lies on a matter of opinion.
Another popular archetype of hero in the more modern dystopian literature is the Vonnegut hero, a hero who is in high-standing within the social system, but sees how wrong everything is, and attempts to either change the system or bring it down, such as Paul Proteus of Kurt Vonnegut's novel Player Piano or Winston Niles Rumfoord in The Sirens of Titan.
The Domination is perhaps unusual in featuring members of the upper caste of the dystopian society (the von Shrakenbergs, Myfwany, Yolande Ingolfsson, various Draka military members) as among the protagonists although serfs (Marya and Yasmin, from among conquered people) questioning that society are also included, along with international enemies of that dystopian society (such as Lefarge). This may be an example of the anti-hero.
In many cases, the hero's conflict brings them to a representative of the dystopia who articulates its principles, from Mustapha Mond in Brave New World to O'Brien in Nineteen Eighty-Four.[35]
There is usually a group of people somewhere in the society who are not under the complete control of the state, and in whom the hero of the novel usually puts their hope, although often he or she still fails to change anything. In Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four they are the "proles" (Latin for "offspring", from which "proletariat" is derived), in Huxley's Brave New World they are the people on the reservation, and in We by Zamyatin they are the people outside the walls of the One State. In Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, they are the "book people" past the river and outside the city.
Climax and dénouement[edit]
The story is often (but not always) unresolved even if the hero manages to escape or destroy the dystopia. That is, the narrative may deal with individuals in a dystopian society who are unsatisfied, and may rebel, but ultimately fail to change anything. Sometimes they themselves end up changed to conform to the society's norms, such as in With Folded Hands, by Jack Williamson. This narrative arc to a sense of hopelessness can be found in such classic dystopian works as Nineteen Eighty-Four. It contrasts with much fiction of the future, in which a hero succeeds in resolving conflicts or otherwise changes things for the better.

The destruction of dystopia is frequently a very different sort of work than one in which it is preserved. Indeed, the subversion of a dystopian society, with its potential for conflict and adventure, is a staple of science fiction stories.[36] Poul Anderson's short story "Sam Hall" depicts the subversion of a dystopia heavily dependent on surveillance. Robert A. Heinlein's "If This Goes On—" liberates the United States from a fundamentalist theocracy, where the underground rebellion is organized by the Freemasons. Cordwainer Smith's The Rediscovery of Man series depicts a society recovering from its dystopian period, beginning in "The Dead Lady of Clown Town" with the discovery that its utopia was impossible to maintain. Although these and other societies are typical of dystopias in many ways, they all have not only flaws but exploitable flaws. The ability of the protagonists to subvert the society also subverts the monolithic power typical of a dystopia. In some cases the hero manages to overthrow the dystopia by motivating the (previously apathetic) populace. In the dystopian video game Half-Life 2 the downtrodden citizens of City 17 rally around the figure of Gordon Freeman and overthrow their Combine oppressors. In The Hunger Games, the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, is able to lead a revolution against her nation.
Destruction of the fictional dystopia may not be possible, but—if it does not completely control its world—escaping from it may be an alternative. In Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451, the main character, Montag, succeeds in fleeing and finding tramps who have dedicated themselves to memorizing books to preserve them. But ironically, the dystopian society in Fahrenheit 451 is destroyed in the end — by nuclear missiles. In the book Logan's Run, the main characters make their way to an escape from the otherwise inevitable euthanasia on their 21st (22nd) birthday (30th in the later film version). Because such dystopias must necessarily control less of the world than the protagonist can reach, and the protagonist can elude capture, this motif also subverts the dystopia's power. In Lois Lowry's The Giver, Jonas, the main character, is able to run away from "The Community" and escapes to "Elsewhere", where people have memories.
Sometimes, this escape leads to the inevitable: the protagonist making a mistake that usually brings about the end of a rebel society, usually living where people think is a legend. This concept is brought to life in Scott Westerfeld's novel Uglies. The main character accidentally brings the government into the secret settlement of the Smoke. She then infiltrates the government to escape, but chooses to join the society for the greater good.
The collapse of a dystopian dictatorship, sometimes, has an ambiguous ending that is unclear as to final result of the revolution. The protagonist succeeds in causing the overthrow of society, but no new society has been established as a replacement. The legacy is open ended, as in the movie version of V For Vendetta. The rebels were secretly aided by disillusioned officials of the ruling tyrannical regime, but no one faction maintained dominance after the fall of the dystopian society. The remaining hard-core regime loyalists were eliminated or ineffective. The audience is left to their own conclusions.

Clinic releases eagle to wild
After some hesitation, a young, bald eagle rehabilitated at Rowena Wildlife Clinic took advantage of the freedom offered to him May 7 and flew back into the wild. The 1-year-old male raptor was found April 15 at Avery Park near Wishram, Wash., unable to fly. An employee at the park contacted authorities at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers at The Dalles Dam, who then called Rowena Wildlife Clinic in Rowena.

The knives used in many top restaurants in Charleston come from an unlikely place.
A shed behind the home of Quintin Middleton in Saint Stephen, S.C. is the production facility for Middleton Made Knives.
"I make paring knives. I make petties, and that's a utility knife. I make a slicer, a boning knife, a santoku is a Japanese vegetable knife, and a chef knife," said Middleton.
There are numerous companies selling knives, but not all are the same.
Quintin originally made a few knives, gave them to a chef to use, and then adjusted the design based on feedback.
What came out of that process are kitchen tools with a number of chef-friendly features.
"My handles are a little different from store-bought knives, because it has a little Coke-bottle shape to it, where it's a little [more] comfortable when you grab onto it," said Middleton. "Regular knives are a little bit flat. I round it off because a lot of chefs hug up on their knifes, so it's not really cutting into their hands."
Quintin has been interested in making knives since he was very young.
His first attempt at anything of the sort came when he created an ice pick at age eight.
"My dad said, like, he saw it, like, he was so mad, he said, 'Man, uh-uh, give me this, you're gonna hurt yourself.' And he threw it. he threw it away," said Middleton.
Quintin retrieved the ice pick and keeps it with him in his shop to this day...
"It's a very good reminder for, of where you come from," he said.
While there is great attention to function here, form is equally as important, and Quintin is intent on turning out an attractive product.
"There's nothing wrong with getting a tool of the trade and it look good, it look good, as well," said Middleton.
Prices for Middleton knives range from $80 to almost $800.
Quintin says he tries to keep them within reach of anyone working in the restaurant industry.
"A line-chef that wants a knife and that really can't afford a $1000 knife, they can get my knife and still get the same quality," he said.
Restaurant workers are not his only customers though.
The home chef market has grown significantly for him.
"Everybody wants to be the next Bobby Flay or the next Morimoto or the Cat Cora or Claire Robinson," said Middleton.
Quintin has thoughts of a bigger location, with maybe even several employees, at some point in the future.
For right now, however, he has no complaints.

ЗарегистрироватьсяNorth Korea and the U.S.: Paranoia Abounds
Contrasting the attitudes of Americans and South Koreans reveals much about the paranoia that U.S. politicians and the feckless news media are able to inspire. While North Korea has escalated its threatening rhetoric aimed at South Korea, Japan, and the U.S., it should be fairly obvious that the actual, and not perceived, threat that North Korea poses is fairly minimal. South Koreans, who are certainly more knowledge about and accustomed to dealing with their despotic neighbor, seem almost totally unconcerned with the threats emanating from Pyongyang.
from The Wall Street Journal:
While worries about North Korea remain high in the U.S., Japan and around the world, there is little interest or discussion about the apocalyptic predictions from Pyongyang on the streets of Seoul, where restaurants and cafes remain full and conversations drift toward the latest pop single by Korean rapper Psy…
"South Koreans see this [latest flare-up] as a very short-term thing, and they expect a clear resolution," says Karl Friedhoff, program officer at the Asan Institute's Public Opinion Studies Center. "Whatever the result may be, South Koreans don't expect this to impact long-term national security."
Meanwhile, in the United States:
A CNN/ORC International poll…indicates that for the first time, a majority of the public is pessimistic that the situation involving North Korea's missile program can be solved by diplomatic and economic means alone.
According to the survey, 41% of Americans now characterize North Korea an immediate threat to the United States, an all-time high for that measure.
41 percent of Americans are dead wrong about North Korea, primarily because media outlets such as CNN allow paranoid "experts" to drone on about North Korea's supposed ability to nuke "any city" in the U.S. Even The New York Times, alleged bastion of good journalism and liberal politics, published an op-ed yesterday entitled "Bomb North Korea, Before It's Too Late."
This is how wars begin. This is how thousands upon thousands of innocent people unnecessarily lose their lives. It is not Kim Jong-un that Americans should fear, but rather the unscrupulous pundits and politicians who always seem so eager to ship their sons and daughters off to war.

NEW YORK (AP) — The NFL's regular officiating crews are back. Their return couldn't have come soon enough for many players, coaches and fans.
After two days of marathon negotiations — and mounting frustration across the league and among its fans — the NFL and the officials' union announced at midnight Thursday that a tentative eight-year agreement had been reached to end a lockout that began in June.
The deal follows Seattle's chaotic last-second win over Green Bay on Monday night in which the replacement officials struggled. Commissioner Roger Goodell, who was at the bargaining table Tuesday and Wednesday, said the regular officials would work the Browns-Ravens game at Baltimore on Thursday night.
"We are glad to be getting back on the field for this week's games," NFL Referees Association President Scott Green said.
The players' union is happy to have them.
"Our workplace is safer with the return of our professional referees," the NFLPA said in a statement Thursday. "We welcome our fellow union members back on our field."
Plenty of players chimed in, too.
"Never thought I would be excited for the refs to come back to work but it's about time it was definitely necessary!" Cleveland return specialist Josh Cribbs tweeted Thursday morning.
Added Minnesota punter Chris Kluwe: "It was a noble experiment, but I think ultimately a failed experiment, from what we've seen. It'll be good not to have to worry about that when we're on the field. It's good that it won't be a distraction anymore."
Shortly after the news broke, Buffalo running back C.J. Spiller tweeted, "Welcome back REFS." Continued...
The tentative deal must be ratified by 51 percent of the union's 121 members. They plan to vote Friday and Saturday in Dallas.
For the Packers, Redskins, Lions and other teams who voiced their displeasure with calls that might have swayed games, the agreement doesn't change their records. But after having replacements for the first three weeks, triggering a wave of outrage that threatened to disrupt the rest of the season, Titans quarterback Matt Hasselbeck probably spoke for his peers by simply echoing Spiller: "Welcome back."
The agreement hinged on working out pension and retirement benefits for the officials, who are part-time employees of the league. The tentative pact calls for their salaries to increase from an average of $149,000 a year in 2011 to $173,000 in 2013, rising to $205,000 by 2019.
Under the proposed deal, the current defined benefit pension plan will remain in place for current officials through the 2016 season or until the official earns 20 years' service. The defined benefit plan will then be frozen.
Retirement benefits will be provided for new hires, and for all officials beginning in 2017, through a defined contribution arrangement. The annual league contribution made on behalf of each game official will begin with an average of more than $18,000 per official and increase to more than $23,000 per official in 2019.
Beginning with the 2013 season, the NFL will have the option to hire a number of officials on a full-time basis to work year round, including on the field. The NFL also will be able to retain additional officials for training and development, and can assign those officials to work games. The number of additional officials will be determined by the league.
"As you know, this has to be ratified and we know very little about it, but we're excited to be back. And ready," referee Ed Hochuli told The Associated Press by telephone. "And I think that's the most important message — that we're ready."
The longest contract with on-field officials in NFL history was reached with the assistance of two federal mediators.
Replacements have been used both to play and officiate NFL games before. In 1987, the players went on strike and three games were played with replacement players. In 2001, the first week of the regular season was officiated by replacements before a deal was worked out.
One big difference: The replacements 11 years ago generally came from the highest levels of college football. These officials were from lower college divisions or other leagues such as Arena Football. Continued...
After Seattle's 14-12 victory against the Packers, their ability to call fast-moving NFL games drew mounting criticism, with ESPN analyst Jon Gruden calling their work "tragic and comical."
The Seahawks beat Green Bay on a desperation pass into the end zone on the final play. Packers safety M.D. Jennings had both hands on the ball in the end zone, and when he fell to the ground in a scrum, both Jennings and Seahawks receiver Golden Tate had their arms on the ball.
The closest official to the play, at the back of the end zone, signaled for the clock to stop, while another official at the sideline ran in and then signaled touchdown.
The NFL said Tuesday that the touchdown pass should not have been overturned — but acknowledged Tate should have been called for offensive pass interference before the catch. The league also said there was no indisputable evidence to reverse the call made on the field.
That drew even louder howls of disbelief. Some coaches, including Miami's Joe Philbin and Cincinnati's Marvin Lewis, tried to restore some calm by instructing players not to speak publicly on the issue.
Fines against two coaches for incidents involving the replacements were handed out Wednesday.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick was docked $50,000 for trying to grab an official's arm Sunday to ask for an explanation of a call after his team lost at Baltimore. And Washington offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan was tagged for $25,000 for what the league called "abuse of officials" in the Redskins' loss to Cincinnati on Sunday. Two other coaches, Denver's John Fox and assistant Jack Del Rio, were fined Monday for their conduct involving the replacements the previous week.
"I accept the discipline and I apologize for the incident," Belichick said.
Players were in no mood for apologies from anyone.
"I'll probably get in trouble for this, but you have to have competent people," Carolina receiver Steve Smith said. "And if you're incompetent, get them out of there." Continued...

For almost two years I have been enjoying local canyons on a1999 Yamaha R1. This bike was purchased with all of 1700 miles on it, and not a flaw to be found. That was thanks in part to sitting in a hanger at Santa Monica Airport. A space rented by Nick Cage to the store many of his toys.
This bike was the latest and greatest in the late nineties. It had everything the competition had, and more. First released in 1998, Yamaha was out to give the fellow liter-bike contenders a run for their money. The big targets were Honda's CBR 900, and Suzuki's GSXR 1000. Boasting 127bhp at the rear wheel and a top speed of 186mph, it was the prime example of "kando", as Yamaha corporate calls it.
On top of the factory bells and whistles, this R1 assures smooth control with a Scott's steering dampener. Additional power and flow is accomplished via a Yoshimura Stage III exhaust, and jetting system. Stopping is made easier thanks to a Brembo brake upgrade and stainless steel lines front and rear. What more could one want... right?
This was number sixteen for street bikes I have owned, it quickly became my favorite. It didn't sit as low as my GSXR, but made up for it with power and performance. Even having said that, I felt the need to find a newer toy for my soon-to-be birthday.
Enter a deal on a beautiful 2008 Honda CBR 1000RR. But not just any RR, this one was bought new by Guy Webster for his own birthday. After only 1000 miles on the ticker, Guy decided to trade out for a Ducati. I don't blame him as I doubt I would ride such an aggressive bike one day over fifty!
I was happy to be the new proud owner of this modern day two-wheel rocket. Oh how things have changed in the past decade. The fuel injection is my favorite, followed by the electronic steering stabilizer and sipper clutch. Overall this bike just feels more refined than the R1. Yet theirs something amiss, something a little hard to explain.
I have owned newer bikes before and after the R1, but something makes me miss it so bad. I think it was the attraction to the rawness of a bike with synchronized carbs. Maybe it was the fact that you actually have to rev match your down shifts, not having the safety of a sipper clutch. It's nice to know that I don't need technology to help me ride well.
These two excellent examples of two-wheel utopia now sit side by side in my garage. The R1 has been sold to a fellow gearhead in Colorado. It will soon be transported to it's new home in the Rockies. Having family there, I'm glad I can visit someday.
Ride on,

It seems like for some verbs (正)在 is used to indicate action in progress, but I have also encountered 着 for some, like 穿着. When should it be used, is there a rule to follow?

students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Chinese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.
This is used for both actions in progress and things that are happening in present tense, such as "she is wearing a dress". I sometimes equate this to the -ing suffix. Examples: He (She) is wearing a suit and playing guitar Help me look out for him (her) (at this moment) See him carrying such a big thing However, this is not used as -ing with actions as you would expect: This is wrong: The 着 here should be applied to the 游 i.e. Wrong: Right: |
着 when used between two verbs signifies that the first action accompanies the second (main) action. |

Remains found in Ord Bend Park identified
The skeletal remains found in the Ord Bend Park in July have been positively identified as a Chico woman missing for seven years.
Glenn County Sheriff Larry Jones said the State Department of Justice crime lab in Richmond positively identified the remains Wednesday as those of Heidi Joanne Ring.
Ring was 37 years old when she was reported missing in 2005.
Glenn County Sheriff's Det. Greg Felton and Chico Police Sgt. Rob Merrifield traveled to Cottonwood late Wednesday afternoon to notify her mother, Gretchen Ring, of the results of the DNA testing.
"It is a sad detail to inform a parent of the loss of their child," said Jones in a statement. "When that child has been missing for years, knowing parents and relatives are holding out hope their loved one will be located alive, the task is much more difficult. However, there can be some relief and solace in knowing the loved one has been accounted for."
Since the discovery of Ring's remains, detectives of the Sheriff's Major Crimes Unit have been working in an effort to identify them.
Ring's skeleton was discovered by a work crew in a secluded area on the outer edge of the park near the Sacramento River.
In is unknown how long Ring's remains were in the park, Jones said.
Her jewelry was discovered near her remains — some still attached to bones — indicating her body laid undisturbed for a long period of time, officials said.
The cause of Ring's death is undetermined but law enforcement will continue to investigate her death as a homicide, Jones said.
"Though the trail is very cold, law enforcement must do its best effort in attempting to find out what happened to Heidi Ring, and hopefully bring anyone responsible for her death to justice," Jones said.
Anyone with information about Ring is encouraged to contact the Chico Police Department or the Glenn County Sheriff's Office, who are working together on the case.
CONTACT Susan Meeker at 934-6800 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
