Lot # 127 (of 1641) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1909-1911 E90-1 American Caramel Joe Jackson
Starting Bid - $1,000, Sold For - $6,518
Graded FAIR 20 by SGC. This extremely rare and desirable E90-1 American Caramel card features the legendary Joe Jackson, and is one of only a handful of cards of Joe Jackson issued during his playing days. This card dates from extremely early in Joe Jackson's career, when he was a member of Connie Mack's Philadelphia A's, where Joe would play a mere ten games before Mack traded him to Cleveland. In addition to being one of the key rarities of the classic E90-1 set (which is the most widely collected of all 1910-era caramel issues), this is Jackson's first card as a Major Leaguer and as such is indisputably recognized to be his rookie card. The Jackson card is a key rarity in the E90-1 set and this fact combined with its universal appeal single-handedly keeps many E90-1 American Caramel sets from completion. We are particularly pleased to be able to present this example in the same auction in which we are presenting (as a separate lot from the same consignor) an E90-1 American Caramel Company complete set missing only Joe Jackson and two commons. This circulated but still magnificent card would fit in perfectly with this set (as well many others!). Several creases, evenly rounded corners, and a hint of paper loss near the right edge on the reverse allow for a grade of only FAIR, but this is still a very attractive example of this extremely rare and important card, superior to many others we have seen, and one that, like a low-grade Wagner to T206 collectors, will always be of great interest to E90-1 and Joe Jackson collectors. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000/$4,000+. SOLD FOR $6,518

Greetings from sunny West Vancouver, B.C.! I have the privilege of house-sitting at a friend's place – right on the beach! And let me tell you – it has been H.O.T. hot! Now, most sun bunnies would be thrilled at the opportunity to lay on the beach and dip their toes in the ocean surf. Not me however, as my poor skin can't take it! Look up pale in the dictionary and there's a picture of me – I swear! 10 minutes in the sun without SPF 55 and I am redder than a lobster. And to make matters even worse – when the redness goes away I don't get that lovely residual tan that most others do, nope, right back to white, white skin.
So, while it has been fun and relaxing spending my time on the water – I do have that added hassle of having to re-apply my SPF 55 every hour, on the hour, and keeping my face covered with a wide brimmed hat – tres chic! This fact of my life was hardened into me as a child after suffering way too many blistering painful sunburns – no way I want to go through that again, so struggle I do. The end result has not been too bad though – from years of meticulously applying sunscreen I am now in my 30's with no lines or wrinkles! It's not just in the sun either, I apply the ZenMed Oil Free Moisturizer SPF 30 year round – rain, snow, or shine because it offers my skin not only the protection of harmful UVA and UVB rays that can be present even when the sun isn't, but it gives my skin a nice dewy glow!

You'll have to make the choice what is more important to you: you being able to buy a book or her recovery (I can't be sure that that is the situation, but it seems to be how you are describing it).
Do what you think is right. Nobody can judge the situation better than you can.
Thanks Matt, maybe I should get another book instead
She's pretty much recovered but I think I phrased it wrong, telling her how religion is poisonous and belief in god is irrational might make her think differently and affect her negatively. That's why I have this dilemma.
I've only come out of the closet to my close family. To the rest (granny cousins uncles etc) I haven't, mostly because I am only half-fluent with spanish and won't be able to express my view clearly, and because I don't want it to affect our relationship (especially grandma, she's very religious)
I think it's a dilemma many atheists face, especially those in religious countries. I didn't have a similar experience, but I can emphatize.
Look, my perspective is this:
We need more people in the world to combat bad ideas, and one set of bad ideas is religion. So we would benefit from having more 'out' atheists to do this, both to have people planting those seeds of doubt and promoting rationality in general, but also to show their family and the people around them that atheists are just regular folks.
However, it doesn't have to be you. It's a choice, not a duty. In some situations being an out atheist just isn't smart: you can become a social outcast, your family can abandon you and in some countries you can actually find yourself in physical danger.
This is true especially for young people: odds are you'll be financially reliant on your parents for up to a decade, and so if coming out or publicly criticizing religion is going to be really controversial, you're risking your education and much more.
Then there's the emotional side of things. While it's true that your beliefs are ultimately your business and that you get to say what you want, if it is really going to hurt the people you love, you might still decide against it.
On the bright side, I do remind people that even if they conclude that they are not in a situation to safely expose religion as a bad idea, there's plenty of other domains where we need more rationality -politics, economics, morality, the paranormal in general... Promoting rationality is ultimately what we need: what area doesn't really matter and is up to you.
And again, I can't tell you what your situation is or what course of action you should or should not take, I'm just giving you my perspective and perhaps you'll find some of it valuable. Don't let someone on the Internet decide how you should live your life. In the end it's your call ;)
Torkoal again i can sympathize with you, my Spanish is also not that great, i find that defending my Atheism or any philosophical position i hold in Spanish to be quite tedious and bothersome, i feel that my family just doesn't understand me, that is partly due to the language barrier between us.
I chose a path of being open about what i believe but i am surely not in the same situation as you and that is indeed important to keep in mind. I agree with Matt in that at the end of the day it is your choice. You should take much care in making it. I am only speaking for myself when i say i am glad i came out of the closet as an Atheist to them. I for one have a strong support base that is my closest of friends who happen to be either atheists or agnostics or just secular in some form. I should also mention that ever since i started being public about it i have noticed some of my younger U.S. born family members to get into questioning the existence of God with me and it seems that i have become slightly influential in being a sort of godless Socratic gadfly.
Again i have to stress that i am in a different situation from you, think carefully about it and definitely take others into consideration. Out the closet atheism isn't for everyone.
Dan Barker Bio link
My only problem with Barker is that he seems to have a hard time distinguishing between good arguments against religion and bad arguments.
The way he swiftly jumped on the Jesus Mythicist bandwagon for instance, makes me think he'll support just about anything that's anti-religious.
I think it is so sad, when a person like you, Torkoal, has to live a lie, or hide the truth, or tolerate nonsense from others, for the sake of those others. I guess it goes to show that atheists aren't evil, when they keep their ideas under wraps, for the sake of family members who would be hurt by the exposure of said ideas. But what of the hurt and stress that is caused to the atheist, in living like that?
Being atheist isn't necessarily easy !

Frances was a absolute dream to have. My daughter was distressed when I left and Frances calmed her down within mins and interacted with her playing games. Frances also cooled my daughter down when she was sleeping as was sweating buckets. Frances is polite and a lovely kind lady. I'd recommend her to everybody and I'll have her again.
Candice was very friendly and my young son seemed comfortable with her straight away. She was very confident when it came to handling my 3 month old baby and his reflux problems. I was instantly reassured that Candice was competent and reliable. I felt happy to trust her with my babies, which was a brand new experience for me, as I had been nervous to hire a sitter before. I would be completely comfortable leaving my very small children in her care. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a highly responsible and personable sitter.
Kavel was wonderful. Chatty, helpful and instantly put us at ease. We are pretty relaxed generally, but Kavel helped us to completely switch off while we were out as we had no worries at all. She even calmed a usually very fussy baby whilst getting ready for bed; we've never seen him like it during a clothes change! Thank you so much for sending Kavel, we will use her again, undoubtedly.

DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers Takes the Mystery out of Selecting the Right Packaging Sealant
Latest online modeling tool is designed to help packaging engineers and designers identify the most appropriate sealant.
Wilmington, Del. (PRWEB) October 29, 2012
DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymer's latest online modeling tool is designed to help packaging engineers and designers identify the most appropriate sealant and to explore new ways to handle tough sealing challenges. Used in combination with the DuPont™ SaVE (Sealant Value Estimator) tool, the new tool helps packaging engineers and designers quickly identify the "critical few" potential sealant resin options from the vast array of possible choices and then compare their value-in-use in terms of reduced packaging failures and waste.
"Time-saving data is invaluable in today's competitive environment," said Barry Morris, technical fellow, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers (DuPont). "Speedy insights can get an engineer or designer on track to the right solution quickly."
Users of the tool enter criteria and their importance – such as converting process attributes, packaging form requirements, end-use conditions and other property needs. The selector then compares the hypothetical performance of many typical sealants. If one of them is DuPont™ Surlyn® ionomer resin, the user can then enter additional information, such as melt index range or type, and the tool will suggest the top five grade choices.
The tool also offers base-case idea starters for sealing solutions in typical applications, ranging from pharmaceutical packaging to meat and dairy packaging. Technical data sheets are available for download to further speed the selection process.
The suite of on-line tools by DuPont, which also includes a modeling tool that simplifies tie-layer selection, is designed to complement in-person technical consultation. "The idea is to quickly get to a short list of material-based solutions that are the most likely to work in a specific packaging application," said Morris. "Working with a short list of likely candidates can take months out of the development cycle."
DuPont™ Surlyn® is considered the packaging industry's premier sealant solution because it delivers high-seal integrity, protects against "leakers" to significantly reduce waste and increases productivity in packaging lines and seals through complex situations.
Drawing from an extensive mix of adhesives, sealants, modifiers; and peelable-lidding resins, DuPont Packaging & Industrial Polymers works with customers around the world on packaging initiatives that help protect the product, environment, improve shelf appeal, convenience and reduce cost in the food, cosmetics, medical products and other consumer goods and industrial packaging industries.
DuPont (NYSE: DD) has been bringing world-class science and engineering to the global marketplace in the form of innovative products, materials, and services since 1802. The company believes that by collaborating with customers, governments, NGOs, and thought leaders we can help find solutions to such global challenges as providing enough healthy food for people everywhere, decreasing dependence on fossil fuels, and protecting life and the environment.

Originally posted on the Windows blog.
During the past few months, we've been talking about how Windows 8 enterprise ready by design. But what does that really mean for organizations? For one of our early adopters, Seton Hall University, it means they'll be able to give their students the convenience of a tablet with the productivity of a PC. They'll be able to connect and collaborate across devices – on a desktop, smart phone, laptop or tablet. It means they can give their students and faculty the experiences they want while also having the enterprise capabilities their IT department needs.
Based in New Jersey, Seton Hall University is working hard to create new and dynamic learning environments and wants all of their students to have access to the latest technology to prepare them well for the workforce when they graduate. In 1998, the university began providing full-time incoming freshmen with laptops as part of their tuition and fees. This award-winning initiative, called the Mobile Computing Program, has evolved during over the last 14 years, right along with the definition of what "mobile" means to our society. In less than two decades, the way people – and students – work and use technology has drastically changed.
And I'm excited to share with you that the entering Class of 2016 at Seton Hall recently received a Samsung tablet or Ultrabook running Windows 8, a Windows Phone (Windows Phone-based Nokia Lumia 900) and access to Office 365 for education. That means more than 1,200 students at the university have access to the same technology and resources to pursue their education, with another more than 1,200 junior students obtaining access to the same technology later in August.
The immediate benefits to both students and faculty are obvious: enhanced communication and collaboration across the university. And our colleagues with Microsoft Education and Microsoft Office have posted specifics on how students and faculty are leveraging this technology for academic success.
But for the purposes of this blog, I want to focus on the Seton Hall's business rationale for standardizing the school across Windows 8 and other Microsoft platforms.
"From an IT perspective, Windows 8 provides us with the ability to manage thousands of devices on our campus network that other solutions are not able to provide," said Dr. Stephen Landry, CIO of Seton Hall University. "From the student's perspective, other offerings were great devices for consuming information, but students found it very difficult to create content on them."
The university sees devices like phones and tablets as companion technology. Previous technology only a few years ago made it difficult to streamline support these university-managed devices because students naturally have large amounts of data stored on them. In an environment that supports both tablets and mobile devices, students' data – and the user experience – now lives in the cloud, making it easier for the Seton Hall's IT department to support and troubleshoot issues.
But it's not just device support that makes Windows 8 a wise choice for organizations that manage thousands of users and devices.
Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst of the Enderle Group, had a chance to hear Landry speak at the 2012 TechEd North America in June. "Devices – whether they are notebooks or tablets – running Windows 8 are appealing to organizations because the operating system brings a strong security, management and integration element to IT departments that other offers cannot provide."
And Landry agrees. "As a CIO, you have to provide a secure and manageable environment for all of the devices that you're supporting for faculty and administrators. Windows 8 comes with all the tools I need to make sure that I'm providing a secure and safe environment."
Windows 8 in education provides students with a technology ecosystem that not only provides access to digital content, but also offers a fully functional tool that allows for productivity and collaboration. Seton Hall is on the cutting edge of building the future workforce and by using Microsoft technologies, students will have the skills they need to be successful in the workforce. And as some of the heaviest power users of technology out there, students have no problem sharing their feedback and ideas to both us and Seton Hall for how this technology can be used.
Want to learn more about Seton Hall's implementation of Windows 8 and other Microsoft offerings? Check out the Customer Spotlight press release, and this video that shares the CIO's perspective – but also looks at student and faculty's initial thoughts on their new technology.
And as we continue to see more early adoption of Windows 8 with our customers, I'll be sharing stories – like Seton Hall University's – that clearly articulate the value of Windows 8 for businesses and its many benefits for people and the IT departments that support them.

The instrument as shown in the figure above is composed of 4 major subsystem: the common path including the powerfull AO system and the three science instruments IRDIS, IFS and ZIMPOL each fed by a sophisticated pupil apodized Lyot, Lyot, or phase mask coronagraph. More information is available on a separate page.
NaCo sets out for NAOS-CONICA. It is installed at the Nasmyth B focus of UT4. It provides adaptive optics assisted imaging, imaging polarimetry, coronography and spectroscopy, in the 1-5 microns range. More information is available on a separate page.
The VLT cryogenic high-resolution infrared echelle spectrograph CRIRES is located at the Nasmyth focus A of UT1 (Antu). It provides a resolving power of up to 105 in the spectral range from 1 to 5 µm when used with a 0."2 arcsec slit. CRIRES can boost all scientific applications aiming at fainter objects, higher spatial (extended sources), spectral and temporal resolution. Simultaneous spectral coverage is maximized through a mosaic of four Aladdin III InSb arrays providing an effective 4096 x 512 focal plane detector array in the focal plane. Adaptive Optics (MACAO - Multi-Applications Curvature Adaptive optics) is used to optimize the signal-to-noise ratio and the spatial resolution. More information is available on a separate page.
SINFONI is a near-infrared (1.1 - 2.45 µm) integral field spectrograph fed by an adaptive optics module, currently installed at the Cassegrain focus of UT4. The spectrograph operates with 4 gratings (J, H, K, H+K) providing a spectral resolution around 2000, 3000, 4000 in J, H, K, respectively, and 1500 in H+K - each wavelength band fitting fully on the 2048 pixels of the Hawaii 2RG (2kx2k) detector in the dispersion direction. The spatial resolution is selectable from 0.25", 0.1" to 0.025" per image slice, which corresponds to a field-of-view of 8"x8", 3"x3", or 0.8"x0.8" respectively. The instrument can be also used for seeing limited open loop observations. More information is available on a separate page.
MACAO, which stands for Multi-Application Curvature Adaptive Optics, is an ESO in-house developed 60 elements curvature adaptive optics system. MACAO-VLTI is the application of this AO principle to be used by the VLT interferometer (VLTI). Four MACAO-VLTI systems have been installed at the each UT Coude' focii feeding the VLTI delay lines with a corrected IR beam from 1000-13000nm with up to 50% Strehl @ 2.2microns.
Systems in development for the VLT
The Adaptive Optics Facility (AOF) aim is to upgrade a single 8m Unit telescope of the Paranal Observatory with an Adaptive Secondary Mirror. The goal is to make this telescope an Adaptive Telescope providing turbulence corrected images at all focii, without the addition of adaptive modules and supplementary optics in front of the instruments. The concept is far more reaching than only a deformable secondary mirror (DSM) since the instrument park is optimized to benefit from this upgrade. Several novel adaptive correction modes are also envisioned making use of a sophisticated Laser launch facility that will provide 4 Laser artificial guide stars for wavefront sensing. The AOF booklet gives an overview of the AOF.
Sub-systems of the AOF
In addition to the DSM, the AOF has two AO modules:
and 4 Laser guide stars. The AOF systems are tested on the ASSIST test bench before going on the VLT.
Systems studies for the E-ELT
The Adaptive Telescope
In the frame of the E-ELT project the Adaptive Optics department is following the detailed design phase of one sub unit of the telescope: the M4 adaptive mirror
AO instruments phase A studies
Two adaptive optics modules (ATLAS, MAORY) and two AO assisted instruments (EAGLE and EPICS) have been studied by external consortia. More information is available on a separate page.
Demonstrators of new Adaptive Optics instruments
The Multi-Conjugate Adaptive Optics Demonstrator (MAD) is a prototype MCAO system which aims to demonstrate in the laboratory and on sky the feasibility of different MCAO reconstruction techniques in the framework of the E-ELT concept and the 2nd Generation VLT Instruments. After an extended period of laboratory testing MAD was installed at the VLT Nasmyth focus for performing some validation runs and science demosntration runs. The system was finally dismounted and sent back to ESO-Garching for further tests in laboratory.
The MAD project is led and developed by ESO with the collaboration of INAF-OsservatorioAstrofisico di Arcetri (INAF-OAA), the INAF-Osservatorio Astronomicodi Padova (INAF-OAPD) and the Faculdade de Ciências de Universidade de Lisboa (FCUL).
More information is available on a separate page.
The high Order Test Bench was developped in the frame of the European Programmme FP6 Opticon JRA1 to implement extreme adaptive optics on a test bench with realistic telescope conditions reproduced by star and turbulence generator. The objective was to compare two different wavefront sensors including their behavior to different errors during calibration and other noises. The complete list of objective as well as the test are presented on a separate page.

Realism in art is only as effective as it is convincing. Atelier students are challenged with learning a new language, a visual language. They learn to genuinely and comfortably "speak" this visual language, using technical knowledge to serve as its grammar and vocabulary.
Founder of the school, award winning David Hardy, feels strongly that students must build a solid technical foundation from which to work. In other words, become master of one's art rather than of a slave to the happy accident. Students find the rigorous, traditional approach offered at the Atelier a bridge to now little-known techniques and principles inherited from the golden days of realism. Once learned, these methods help to effectively establish a beachhead in today's challenging art world.
Highly personalized guidance, made possible with small classes, encourages individual growth. Advanced students learn to fine-tune drawing and painting skills, thus maximizing accomplishment. Advanced students, including both emerging and established art professionals, are offered career counseling and business procedures. Museum field trips are correlated with Atelier studies.

Stunning Live Performance With A Novation Launchpad
Stunning Live Performance With A Novation Launchpad
Picture courtesy of Alex Wire
There are some simply staggering Launchpad performances out there at the moment, with Jack Conte getting in on the action most recently with this great Daft Punk & Skillrex mashup. Bright LED controllers help you keep an eye on things on stage.
Not long ago we had M4SONIC applying classical piano technique with both hands on 2 Launchpads simultaneously. While it might take just a little bit of practice to get this good yourself it's clear how useful the Launchpad can be for making arrangements on the fly. If you use Ableton Live or FL Studio the grid controller works right out the box and lets you arrange, mix and edit on the fly.
An early pioneer showing off just what can be done with a Launchpad and a bit of creative spark is Madeon with a hugely popular mashup of a few of his favourite songs.
While all of the above can be a little humbling for us mere mortals it certainly shows just how much the Launchpad really can be treated as an instrument. Combine it with a MIDI controller and you suddenly have a whole world of possibilities in a setup that can fit in your backpack. If you're after an even more compact setup the Launchpad Mini is portable and has the same operation and build quality as the full Launchpad S. Even better it works right out the box with your iPad, with the Launchpad App available on Novation's website.
Best of all the Launchpad combines brilliantly with other MIDI devices to work as a modular controller setup. Whether you're triggering and tweaking in Ableton Live or need simple iPad inspiration in the studio there's a setup to suit.
Launchpad & Launchkey Mini Controllers
The ultimate compact controller bundle, affordable USB keyboard and the iconic Launchpad for under £200. Launch scenes in Ableton while playing and melody and tweaking the mix.
Launchpad S & Launch Control
If you've already got a master keyboard but want access to the unique capabilities of the Launch family.
Novation Launchkey 25 - Novations's Best Reason Keyboard Controller
Ok so this one isn't technically a bundle but add an iPad and you've got a portable production package. However it's the Launchkey's integration with Reason where things really shine. Just plug and play, an affordable master keyboard and among the most feature packed at this price.

Novation Launch Control MIDI Controller
The Launchpad grid control changed the way computer musicians work with software, allowing real time, tactile control over arrangements. Launch Control takes things even further by adding 16 knobs, 8 three colour launch pads & 4 function keys. Use the knobs to control EQ, FX or volume and the launch pads can trigger samples or beats. Compact, solid build quality…

Mike Leuthen needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 9 designs submitted by 6 freelance designers.
The title of the DVD is Concrete Trucking and the tag line is A Real Life Video Field Trip For Kids. It's real footage of the concrete making process. This is not an animated video. It takes kids through the steps involved by visiting a rock quarry, a cement plant, the river where sand is dredged, the concrete plant where trucks are loaded and finally the trucks roll to construction sites.
Kids age 18 months to 7 years old. This DVD will be sold on eBay and Amazon.
DVD disk and DVD Case graphics.
Most important that it lets mom know that this video will be educational and entertaining. I suggest a concrete truck with other design elements.

For many kids, sitting on Santa's lap is a no-brainer. I mean, how else is he supposed to know what you want for Christmas? But this year some kids in Britain are going to have to come up with an alternate plan, reports The Telegraph. According to the National Association of Head Teachers, volunteer parents who dress up as Father Christmas have been told to avoid all physical contact with children, which of course excludes lap-sitting.
"Santas in schools should be treated in the same way that other visitors to the school are managed," a spokesman for the Department of Education stated.
The Brits seem to be exercising extreme caution in the face of the recent reports of sex abuse surging in the news, which is understandable. But part of me wishes we could just put our guard down—on Christmas, with Santa Claus—if there are responsible adults around. What's next on the Santa crackdown agenda? Refusing his gifted sweets in fear of poisoning?
Plus: Tips to Avoid Holiday Disaster
What do you think? Is a ban on sitting on Santa's lap going too far, or as a parent, would it make you more comfortable?

Prose and Poetry: Sir Thomas North to Michael Drayton
The Successors of Spenser
> Giles and Phineas Fletcher
Sir Henry Wotton
The Cambridge History of English and American Literature in 18 Volumes
Volume IV. Prose and Poetry: Sir Thomas North to Michael Drayton.
The Successors of Spenser
§ 7. Giles and Phineas Fletcher.
Giles Fletcher, the younger brother, was born in London about 1588, and went from Westminster school to Trinity college, Cambridge, in the spring of the year 1603. In 1618, he became reader in Greek, and, having taken holy orders, was appointed vicar of Alderton in Suffolk, where he died in 1623. Although he was some six years younger than his brother, his poem
Christs Victorie, and Triumph in Heaven, and Earth, over and after death
was published many years before his brothers poem
The Purple Island,
namely, in 1610, by C. Legge at Cambridge.
Christs Victorie and Triumph
is his principal work, but he also wrote a
Canto upon the Death of Eliza,
Elegy upon Prince Henrys Death
and a short poem in riming couplets, to which Boas has given the name
A Description of Encolpius. Christs Victorie,
written in 265 eight-lined stanzas (riming
) is divided into four parts. In the first part, he describes Christs victory in Heaven through the intercession of Mercy against the indictment of man by Justice; in the second, His victory on earth where He overcomes Satan, who, in the guise of a reverend palmer, tempts Him to Desperation, to Presumption and to Vainglory; in the third, he describes Christs triumph over death, in generall by his joy to undergo it by his passion itself, and the particular effects of the triumph throughout the universe; and, in the last part, Christs triumph after death is narrated, as manifested in the resurrection and the effects of the resurrection on all living things. There is no doubt that, as a whole, the poem is hampered by the very quality which gave it birththe authors devoutness. He is unable to weave his own fancy and the accepted traditions into a composite pattern; and the effort to make his verse worthy of its subject often produces the effect of constraint or of exaggeration. There are, however, many passages of individual beauty, such as the description of Mercy, and some of great dramatic power, notably the passage in which the effect of Christs triumph upon Judas is told. The vigour of his phrase and the loftiness of his aim combine to make him a worthy link in the chain which connects his great master and his great successorSpenser and Milton.
His elder brother, Phineas Fletcher, was born in 1582, and went from Eton to Kings college, Cambridge, in the Commons book of which college his name first appears in 1600. A contribution of his appeared in
Sorrowes Joy,
a poetical miscellany, compiled at the university in 1603, in which his younger brothers
Canto upon Eliza
gained a place and which mourned Elizabeths death at the same time as it welcomed the arrival of king James. The resemblance in the lives of the brothers is as marked as the resemblance in their work. The chief legacy which their father left them was a good education. Both lived at Cambridge for some years until Giles Fletcher became vicar of Alderton in Suffolk, and Phineas Fletcher, after being for five years chaplain to Sir Henry Willoughby, became rector of Hilgay in Norfolk, in 1621, two years before his brothers death in 1623. Phineas Fletcher wrote far more than Giles, and was possessed of a light manner as well as of the more deeply serious manner which characterises the extant work of his brother.
Brittains Ida,
first published in 1628,
Piscatorie Eclogues
are the most notable examples of this lighter manner.
Brittains Ida
is a pretty, amatory poem in six cantos on the subject of Shakespeares
Venus and Adonis.
The stanzas are of eight lines and rime
The long success of the publishers ruse which attributed the poem to Spenser and which remained undiscovered until Grosart proved the authorship
shows how nicely Fletcher hit the manner of Spenser.
a piscatory, is a fisher-play of spirited wit and fancy, which was acted at Kings college, Cambridge on 13 March, 1614/15, and printed, also without the authors consent in 1631. No grave divine, such as Fletcher had then become, would have been pleased to own offspring so flippant and indecorous as these works of his youth. His immense poem
The Purple Island,
as well-known as it is little read, he did not, however, thus view askance. Its scope is colossal, for the purple island is the little isle of man, a country which, be it observed, Davies, Wither and Drummond had each in his own way explored. For the secret realm of a mans own nature had, for these poets, as great an attraction as unknown lands had for the previous generation of pioneers in exploration. Though the intention is interesting, the settingthe daily conversations of shepherdsis laboured, and the allegory troublesome to follow. He does not aid his minute description of the body and its functions by his continual geographical analogies; indeed, many passages would be completely meaningless without his own explanatory notes. But his enthusiasm for the delicate mechanism of the body is none the less remarkable that his expression of it is often amusing. After a detailed description of mans anatomy, he turns his attention to qualities of mans mind, and passes in review all the virtues and vices. Here, in small allegorical pictures, he is more successful; many of them are happy in idea and beautiful in execution, especially his pictures of ignorance, of Andreos or fortitude, of Androphilus or gentleness.
His two best poems are
The Apollyonists
Elisa, an Elegie. The Locusts or Apollyonists
was published in 1627 with a poem
on the same subject, in Latin hexameters, and is written in five cantos of forty stanzas each. The stanza is of nine lines, riming
and affords another variant of the Spenserian stanza from the seven-lined stanza, riming
in the
The Purple Island.
In this poem, he uses the fall of Lucifer as a device to explain the strength of the church of Rome, whose machinations are made to culminate in the Gunpowder plot. He writes with the bitterness that might be expected from an English clergyman of the time; but this bitterness narrows the scope of the poem to an expression of party-hatreda function ill-suited to poetry. Many lines, however, especially at the outset, where he deals with evil in general, are vigorous, and, at times, so forcible and spacious as to justify the epithet Miltonic.
is an elegy, published in the 1633 quarto, upon the death of Sir Antony Irby, composed, as its separate title-page announces, at the request, and for a monument, of his surviving lady. The poem is in two parts of fifty stanzas each, and maintains a high level of sustained feeling. It shows Phineas Fletcher at his simplest and at his best. He creates with striking power the illusion of reality in a dialogue between the dying husband and his wife, which is singularly original and reaches its climax of pathetic beauty in the last eighteen stanzas of the first part, in which he begs her gladly to continue with the burden of life for the sake of their childrenthis little nation to thy care commend them.
Both the Fletchers were steeped in Spensers poetry, and carried on the Spenserian tradition. In their work is to be found Spensers diffuseness, his use of allegory, many variants of his stanza and the echo, often a beautiful echo, of his music. Moreover, Milton knew the work of the Fletchers as intimately as he, or the Fletchers, knew the work of Spenser. And so one of the prettiest and most intricate problems that is to be found in literature arises on the question of what is known as influence. The best example of the affinity between the work of Milton and the work of Phineas Fletcher is to be found in a comparison between the way in which Milton treats that stock episode of the miracle play, the fall of Lucifer, and the way in which Fletcher treats it. In
The Apollyonists,
the fall of Lucifer is a prelude to an onslaught upon the Jesuits: the great opening is narrowed to the confines of religious hatred. But the sympathy which Milton could not but feel for the rebel transformed the figure of Satan from a fine conception to one of immortal grandeur. Milton humanised the devil, Fletcher diabolised the priest. Their meeting-point is found in Fletchers lines
To be in heaven the second he disdaines:
So now the first in hell and flames he raignes,
Crownd once with joy and light: crownd now with fire and paines,
and in the Miltonic
Better to reign in hell then serve in Heavn.

From John Main OSB, "The Christian Crisis," THE PRESENT CHRIST (New York: Crossroad, 1991), pp. 74-76.
[. . .]To become spiritual we have to learn to leave behind our official religious selves—that is, to leave behind the Pharisee that lurks inside all of us—because, as Jesus has told us, we have to leave behind our whole self. All images of ourselves coming as they do out of the fevered brain of the ego, have to be renounced and transcended if we are to become one with ourselves, with God, with our brethren—that is, to become truly human, truly real, truly humble.
Our images of God must similarly fall away. We must not be idol-worshippers. Curiously, what we find is that they fall away as our images of self fall away, which suggests what. . .we always guessed anyway, that our images of God were really images of ourselves. In this wonderful process of coming into the full light of Reality, of falling away from illusion, a great silence emerges from the centre. We feel ourselves engulfed in the eternal silence of God. We are no longer talking to God or worse, talking to ourselves. We are learning to be –to be with God, to be in God. [. . .]
On the spiritual journey it takes more energy to be still than to run. [M]ost people spend so much of their waking hours rushing from one thing to another that they are afraid of stillness and of silence. A certain existential panic can overtake us when we first face the stillness. . . .But if we can find the courage to face this silence, we enter into the peace that is beyond all understanding.
No doubt it is easier to learn this in a balanced and stable society. In a turbulent and confused world there are so many more deceptive voices, so many calls for our attention. But the Christian vision is uncompromising in its sanity, its rejection of extremism, in its invitation to each of us to have the courage to become ourselves and not merely to respond to some image of ourselves that is imposed upon us from outside. [. . .]
What each of us must learn in the experience of meditation is that the power for the pilgrimage is in fact inexhaustibly present. It takes only one step of faith for us to know that from our own experience. [And] the important thing to remember is that one faltering but actual step is more valuable than any number of journeys performed in the imagination.
Meditate for Thirty Minutes. Remember: Sit down. Sit still and upright. Close your eyes lightly. Sit relaxed but alert. Silently, interiorly, begin to say a single word. We recommend the prayer phrase "Maranatha." Recite it as four syllables of equal length. Listen to it as you say it, gently, but continuously. Do not think or imagine anything spiritual or otherwise. Thoughts and images will likely come, but let them pass. Just keep returning your attention – with humility and simplicity to saying your word in faith, from the beginning to the end of your meditation.
After Meditation, Charles Bukowski, "about competition," Sifting Through the Madness for the Word, the Line, the Way (New York: HarperCollins, 2003), p. 75.

It's been a long time (2 weeks?) since I last wrote a post on these forums. I know this thread is for Introductions, but I hope the moderators and administrators will turn a blind eye as I write a farewell post. (Or they could make a Farewell thread... )
To give a short explanation for those who don't know, I'll be leaving tomorrow (18 June) for enlistment into my country's National Service, for a usual tenure of 2 years, and I decided from some time ago that I'll leave the whole anime scene for this period of time. Basically, I'll be leaving my user Lost alone for a long time. I'll stop watching animes (other than continuing series I've started this Spring 07 season), posting here, chatting in IRC and fansubbing with the good people at Shinsen and Formula. Recently, certain developments in my country seem to have shown my choice to be a prudent one, allowing me to lie low until this "suing illegal fansub downloaders" bullshit blows over.
I'm writing this, because I want to sincerely thank everyone of you here that I had the pleasure of posting with; even better, discussing indepth and laughing with and generally having a fun time. We all share a common love for this form of entertainment, Anime, and being with fellow anime-lovers, seeing expert critiques or emotional expositions... I enjoyed it all this while. Even tho I wasn't here for very long (one and a half years to date), it feels like this place is my home (well, I did start Lost out here, in the Mai HiME sub-forum).
Thank you all very much. Especially, I need to thank GHDPro for starting this great site. I want to thank him, and all the other administrators (off-hand, NoSanninWa - thank you for all the cookies!, xris - Oji-san!, NightWish - Shinku <3) and moderators for running this place so well and making my stay here ever pleasant. This is a great and respectable forum with a wonderful community supporting it, and I wish it further success in everyway. To my friends from the Rozen Maiden sub-forum, I enjoyed posting there the most and having discussions ranging from nonsensical to downright serious, when it was at its peak: still confined within a humble thread and later when we got the sub-forum. I hope to continue on with you guys when I return. People in the beloved Mushishi thread, thank you too (all the best with Mushishi Alternative, Cal-reflector) and here's to Ginko's harem.
That's it I guess. Thanks again to everyone I had a good time with (Thanks to KiNa and Cats too for some great tutorials!). I'll be back, and when I am, I hope to see everyone still here.

Hi, I'm new here - just registered about fifteen minutes ago and have been trying to figure out exactly where the smilies I put in will end up. Um . . . I guess I should introduce myself?
Please just use my username to get my attention - I hate my real name. (Has to do with being Japanese with a very ordinary Japanese name but being raised with a bunch of foreign people with - to me - cool-sounding names.) People like to look at me and classify me as a study freak, but I'm actually a closet おたく [otaku]; my favorite hobby is to write fanfiction. Right now I'm mostly hooked on Eyeshield 21, Ouran High School Host Club, and Yugioh GX, as well as manga. I'm also bilingual working on trilingual, so I'd like to make use of this useless second language (Japanese) I had to learn at school . . . any ideas, anyone?
I guess that's about it for now . . . see you!

Criterion February Releases (US - DVD R1 | BD RA)
The Criterion Collection announces their release lineup for February...
La Jetée/Sans Soleil
Quote: Release Date: 7 Feb 2012
Synopsis: One of the most influential, radical science-fiction films ever made and a mind-bending free-form travelogue: La Jetée and Sans Soleil couldn't seem more different—but they're the twin pillars of an unparalleled and uncompromising career in cinema. A filmmaker, poet, novelist, photographer, editor, and now videographer and digital multimedia artist, Chris Marker has been challenging moviegoers, philosophers, and himself for years with his investigations of time, memory, and the rapid advancement of life on this planet. These two films—a tale of time travel told in still images and a journey to Africa and Japan—remain his best-loved and most widely seen.
Disc Features
-Restored high-definition digital transfers, approved by director Chris Marker, with uncompressed monaural soundtracks
-Two interviews with filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin
- Chris on Chris, a video piece on Marker by filmmaker and critic Chris Darke
-Two excerpts from the French television series Court-circuit (le magazine): a look at David Bowie's music video for the song "Jump They Say," inspired by La Jetée, and an analysis of Hitchcock's Vertigo and its influence on Marker
- Junkopia, a six-minute film by Marker, Frank Simone, and John Chapman about the Emeryville Mudflats
-A booklet featuring an essay by Marker scholar Catherine Lupton, an interview with Marker, notes on the films and filmmaking by Marker, and more
Three Outlaw Samurai
Quote: Release Date: 14 Feb 2012
Synopsis: This first film by the legendary Hideo Gosha is among the most canonized chambara (sword-fighting) films. An origin-story offshoot of a Japanese television series phenomenon of the same name, Three Outlaw Samurai is a classic in its own right. In it, a wandering, seen-it-all ronin (Tetsuro Tamba) becomes entangled in the dangerous business of two other samurai (Isamu Nagato and Mikijiro Hira), hired to execute a band of peasants who have kidnapped the daughter of a corrupt magistrate. With remarkable storytelling economy and thrilling action scenes, this is an expertly mounted tale of revenge and loyalty.
Disc Features
-High-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-New English subtitle translation
-A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Bilge Ebiri
Tiny Furniture
Quote: Release Date: 14 Feb 2012
Synopsis: Lena Dunham got her start making YouTube videos, but she emerged as a major talent thanks to the breakthrough success of this exceptionally sharp comedy, which garnered the twenty-four-year-old writer-director-actor comparisons to the likes of Woody Allen. The filmmaker herself plays Aura, a recent college graduate who returns to New York and moves back in with her mother and sister (played by their real-life counterparts). Though Aura is gripped by stasis and confusion about her future, Dunham locates endless sources of refreshing humor in her plight. As painfully confessional as it is endlessly amusing, Tiny Furniture is an authentic, incisive portrait of a young woman at a crossroads.
Disc Features
-New digital transfer, with DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-Director Lena Dunham talks about filmmaking and autobiography in a new interview with writer and filmmaker Nora Ephron
-New interview with writer-director Paul Schrader
- Creative Nonfiction, Dunham's first feature film
-Four short films by Dunham
-A booklet featuring an essay by critic Phillip Lopate
World on a Wire
Quote: Release Date: 21 Feb 2012
Synopsis: World on a Wire is a gloriously paranoid, boundlessly inventive take on the future from German wunderkind Rainer Werner Fassbinder. With dashes of Stanley Kubrick, Kurt Vonnegut, and Philip K. Dick, as well as a flavor entirely his own, Fassbinder tells the noir-spiked tale of a reluctant action hero, Fred Stiller (Klaus Lowitsch), a cybernetics engineer who uncovers a massive corporate conspiracy. At risk? (Virtual) reality as we know it. Originally made for German television, this recently rediscovered, three-and-a-half-hour labyrinth is a satiric and surreal look at the weird world of tomorrow from one of cinema's kinkiest geniuses.
Disc Features
-New high-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-Fassbinder's "World on a Wire": Looking Ahead to Today, a fifty-minute documentary about the making of the film by Juliane Lorenz
-New interview with German-film scholar Gerd Gemünden
-New English subtitles
-Trailer for the 2010 theatrical release
-A booklet featuring an essay by film critic Ed Halter
Anatomy of a Murder
Quote: Release Date: 21 Feb 2012
Synopsis: A virtuoso James Stewart plays a small-town Michigan lawyer who takes on a difficult case: that of a young Army lieutenant (Ben Gazzara) accused of murdering the local tavern owner who he believes raped his wife (Lee Remick). This gripping, envelope-pushing courtroom potboiler, the most popular film from Hollywood provocateur Otto Preminger, was groundbreaking for the frankness of its discussion of sex—more than anything else, it is a striking depiction of the power of words. With its outstanding supporting cast—including a young George C. Scott as a fiery prosecuting attorney and legendary real-life attorney Joseph N. Welch as the judge—and influential jazz score by Duke Ellington, Anatomy of a Murder is a Hollywood landmark; it was nominated for seven Oscars, including best picture.
Disc Features
-New high-definition digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-New alternate 5.1 soundtrack, presented in DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray edition
-New interview with Otto Preminger biographer Foster Hirsch
-Critic Gary Giddins explores Duke Ellington's score in a new interview
-A look at the relationship between graphic designer Saul Bass and Preminger with Bass biographer Pat Kirkham
-Newsreel footage from the set
-Excerpts from a 1967 episode of Firing Line, featuring Preminger in discussion with William F. Buckley Jr.
-Excerpts from the work in progress Anatomy of "Anatomy": The Making of a Movie
-Behind-the-scenes photographs by Life magazine's Gjon Mili
-Trailer, featuring on-set footage
-A booklet featuring an essay by critic Nick Pinkerton and a 1959 Life magazine article on real-life lawyer Joseph N. Welch, who plays the judge in the film
Vanya on 42nd Street
Quote: Release Date: 28 Feb 2012
Synopsis: In the nineties, André Gregory mounted a series of spare, private performances of Anton Chekhov's Uncle Vanya in a crumbling Manhattan playhouse. These treasures of pure theater would have been lost to time had they not been captured on film, with subtle cinematic brilliance, by Louis Malle. In Vanya on 42nd Street, a stellar cast of actors—including Wallace Shawn, Julianne Moore, Brooke Smith, and George Gaynes—embark on a full read-through of Uncle Vanya (adapted into English by David Mamet); the result is as memorable and emotional a screen version of Chekhov's masterpiece as one could ever hope to see. This film, which turned out to be Malle's last, is a tribute to the playwright's devastating work as well as to the creative process itself.
Disc Features
-New high-definition digital restoration, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition
-New documentary featuring interviews with André Gregory, the play's director; actors Lynn Cohen, George Gaynes, Julianne Moore, Larry Pine, Wallace Shawn, and Brooke Smith; and producer Fred Berner
-A booklet featuring an essay by critic Steve Vineberg and a 1994 on-set report by film critic Amy Taubin

Nothing here I need...
God, WHY is "Tiny Furniture" getting the Criterion treatment? I caught that at a film fest a while back and it just wasn't good at all! I can't see many people wanting to purchase it. It just seems that the flood-gates are open now for lesser and lesser films to make their way into the Criterion library.
But not only did the film suck... Criterion didn't even try to give it artwork up to their usual standards. That is an atrocious hack job.
"Anatomy of a Murder" though? Hell yeah.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution announced today that the team has signed Danish forward Rajko Lekic. Lekic will occupy one of the team's international roster spots and will be officially added to the team's roster upon receipt of his International Transfer Certificate. Per MLS and club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Lekic, 29, joins the Revs roster with a 10-year professional career, mainly in Denmark. The Danish forward is best known for the time with his most recent club, Silkeborg, with whom he made 121 appearances and scored 76 goals in two separate stints.
"We're very pleased to announce Rajko's signing," Revolution Vice President of Player Personnel Michael Burns said. "We have been public in our desire to bring in an attacking player to the club, and we believe we've added a significant component to our attack with this signing. Rajko has scored goals consistently for all his previous clubs, and we are optimistic he'll do the same for us during his time in New England."
Lekic began his professional career with Danish second-division club Boldklubben af 1893, where he made just one first-team appearance in his first three seasons. He spent part of the 2001 season with BK Avarta, where he scored 16 goals in 15 appearances. Lekic then moved to Herfølge BK, scoring nine times in 13 games. Herfølge BK sent him to Wexford Youths in 2003, where he continued to score at a strong pace with six goals in 12 games.
In the fall of 2003, Lekic made his first move to Silkeborg on a free transfer, making an immediate impact with a 31-goal effort in 33 games, helping propel Silkeborg into the Danish Premier League and earning league player of the year honors.
His success at Silkeborg led to his transfer to Spain's Xerex, where he spent two seasons before moving to Denmark's Odense Boldklub (2006), Hungary's Zalaegerszegi (2007) and Denmark's Esbjerg fB (2007). In 2008, Esbjerg loaned Lekic back to Silkeborg, where he returned to his scoring glory with 15 goals in 15 games. Lekic re-signed with Silkeborg in 2009, where he spent the last three seasons, scoring 24 goals in 47 appearances.
Lekic has earned one cap with Denmark's National Team, making a substitute appearance against Austria on March 3, 2010, in one of the team's lead-up games to the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
The Revolution will host Real Salt Lake, who on Tuesday earned a place in the championship of the CONCACAF Champions League, on Saturday, April 9, at 7:30 p.m. For up-to-the-minute information on the Revolution, visit the team's official web site at revolutionsoccer.net, or follow the team on Twitter at @NERevolution, or on Facebook at facebook.com/NERevolution.

Jordan, Israel Weigh Gas Deal
Amman, Plagued by Energy Crisis, Would Be First Buyer of Newfound Reserves
Jordan has been holding talks to become the first country to buy natural gas from Israel, which on Sunday approved a plan to export 40% of energy reserves recently discovered beneath the Mediterranean Sea, analysts and people familiar with the talks said.
A deal would offer Jordan a cheap energy source and relieve a painful energy crisis. Two years of supply shortages from Egypt's pipeline to Jordan have spurred price increases, domestic unrest and has the government weighing brownouts....
