Saenger, P, Stephenson, W & Moverley, JH 1979, 'The subtidal fouling organisms of the Calliope River and Auckland Creek, Central Queensland', Memoirs of the Queensland Museum, vol. 19, no. 3, pp. 399-412.
The abstract and pdf of the published article reproduced in ePublications@SCU with the permission of Memoirs of the Queensland Museum
The fouling organisms of Calliope River and Auckland Creek have been investigated to determine the most abundant and recurrent macrofouling species, and their succession on newly exposed surfacts. Short- and long-term test plates have been used at three localities since May 1975, and data to May 1977 are analysed here. Forty-seven species were found on the short-term plates. Thirteen were sessile and used in numerical analyses. Sites 2 and 3 (Calliope River) differed from Site 1 (Auckland Creek) by: the number of species; paired t-tests of species occurrence; and the mean number of individuals of each species. These differences are presumed to reflect physical disturbance at Site 1. Only three species (Balanus, Ficopomatus and Electra) occurred consistently on the short-term plates. Optimal wavelengths of the 5 species which showed significant periodicity in settlement were determined and compared with periodicities in temperature, chlorinity and rainfall. All had significant relationships with temperature, 3 with chlorinity and 0 with rainfall. Algal biomass also showed a much closer relationship to temperature than to chlorinity. The long-term plates indicated that a 'pioneer' phase is gradually (after 3-11 months) replaced by a 'climax' phase, characterized by Crassostrea, Modiolus, Balanus and Ficopomatus. A mosaic of the 'pioneer' and 'climax' phases is the common condition found on old plates and on naturally occurring substrates in the study area.

They stored their passion in the creases in the corners of their mouths,
Every angle of light from the open window washed their aged faces out.
"Should we feel guilty", They said, "Should we feel guilty for this sin?
Lord, did we kill a man and woman just to lie here skin to skin? "
"I wasn't happy. I wasn't happy where I was...
What is life without a purpose? What is purpose without love?
I pray my children will forgive me, though I bade the river flood.
I have washed my hands a thousand times but still can see the blood. "
"Oh, great mercy, I am here to beg forgiveness for this mess.
I know I tore two worlds apart but I can't change the way I felt.
Love swept in like a storm and ripped the hinges from the doors.
Love poured in like a flood, I couldn't stop it anymore. I will not be drowned. "
She said, "Lover, come and hold me, I am terribly afraid.
While you're shouting at the stars, my scars are not fading away. "
He said, "Darling, I was begging heaven make them disappear, but,
See, I didn't get an answer or at least one I could hear.
Now, I am thinking of the past and how we both said vows and lied and
I am wondering how we trust ourselves to say a second time:
'To have and to hold,
From this day and onward,
For better and for worse,
For richer and for poorer,
In sickness or in health,
To love and to cherish
Till death do us part? '"

Created over 60 years ago by a designer working for Bausch and Lomb, Wayfarer frames presented an eclectic shape resembling Cadillac tail fins combined with a trapezoid. An instant hit with the Beat Generation at that time, Wayfarers also had a hint of masculinity not seen in 20th century frames.
Although their popularity waned in the 60s, Wayfarer frames got a boost when John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd sported them in the hit 1980 movie The Blues Brothers. During the '80s, Wayfarer sunglasses graced the faces of celebrities appearing in dozens of TV shows and films.
With the popularity of retro frames sweeping the world, Wayfarer eyeglasses are once again a raging, blazing fashion statement made by anyone who wants to feel and look like a celebrity. Not only do they look great on men and women, but Wayfarers also offer functional vision improvement by providing wearers with a wide visual field and adequate eye protection.
Sophisticated, fashionable, and attractively assertive, Wayfarer glasses are one of our most popular frame styles. Lenses provided by our optical lab include industry-standard lenses made of lightweight polycarbonate and CR39 plastic. We also offer six different refractory indexes to accommodate your vision needs.
If you've never worn wayfarers, why not browse our catalog filled with over one thousand different frames? You can find the Wayfarers that have your personality and attitude written all over them, and then order your new glasses today. We absolutely guarantee our eyewear and stand by that guarantee with our 12-month product guarantee and 14-day fit and style guarantee.

CNET First Look
Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1Rugged and sleek, this point-and-shoot is waterproof to 10 feet and can withstand a 5-foot drop. Plus, it comes in hard-core orange.
[ Music ] ^M00:00:03 >> Hi. I'm Molly Wood from CNET.com here at PMA 2009, taking a First Look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1. Now, this is a pretty attractive looking camera, but that shouldn't hide the fact that it's also one tough little sucker. It is shock proof and waterproof. They say it's waterproof up to 10 feet, shockproof up to five feet, and also dust-proof. No word on whether it's also freeze-proof, ala the Canon PowerShot D10, but it's pretty tough nevertheless. And frankly, I think it's a little bit more attractive than that rugged camera. It comes in orange, green, or silver, and it's a 12-megapixel camera. Now, Panasonic also says this is the first waterproof, ruggedized camera that also shoots HD video. I think that's a pretty nice touch. It should be available sometime this spring for about $400.00. Again, this is Molly Wood from CNET.com with a First Look at the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS1. ^M00:00:53 [ Music ]

Selling the Daily News for $1.25 was especially painful for one Bronx vendor.
A newspaper hawker outside the courthouse told The Post he was attacked by his distributor Tuesday morning when he complained that nobody wanted to pay the bloated new price for the Snooze.
Albayn Shabazz, 38, said that the distributor, Simbala Ducoure, hit him with his delivery truck shortly before 7 a.m., when Shabazz told him about the sluggish sales.
Ducoure was hauled in cuffs to the 44th Precinct station house, but was allowed to leave after filing an accident report.
Ducoure later admitted to The Post that the sky-high price is causing him huge headaches.
"A lot of people are complaining to my hawkers, saying $1.25 is too much," said Ducoure, whose Daily News sales plummeted by 50 percent on Monday.
"They come to my hawkers, say, 'Give me the Daily News' and we say, 'That's $1.25.' Then they say, 'Oh, no!' They say, 'This is my last time' or don't buy it at all. All we can tell them is we can't do anything about the price."
The Daily News on Monday socked readers with a 66 percent price increase, from 75 cents to $1.25 in New York City.
It also raised the suburban price from $1 to $1.25 — a 25 percent hike.
Shabazz said he sold just 20 copies of the Daily News on Monday, and tried to explain it rationally to Ducoure.
"People were saying to me, 'I'm not going to pay $1.25 [for the News], give me a Post,' " Shabazz said.
"I promised [to Ducoure], 'Jesus Christ could come down here right now, but at $1.25, he'll lose customers, too.' "
Shabazz said Ducoure tried to run him over with his truck, but Ducoure denied being the aggressor.
He claimed Shabazz poured iced coffee on his Ford F-350 and then threw himself into the parked vehicle to feign being hit.
Shabazz said selling papers on the street corner is his only source of steady income, and he makes about $25 a day.
The worst part of the price hike, Shabazz said, is losing the extra quarter many customers used to tip him when the News was 75 cents.
Shabazz, who was treated for a sore neck and back at Lincoln Hospital, said, "People like me, hawkers, we work at the bottom of this industry. We suffer. We're the ones paying the price and no one cares about us."

David Beckham reportedly wants to sign his budding soccer player son Brooklyn to his new Miami team once it is up and running.
Beckham announced earlier this month (Feb14) that he will be returning to the soccer scene by creating his own Major League Soccer (MLS) team in Miami, Florida with his business partner Simon Fuller.
His 14-year-old son Brooklyn has already undergone a trial with his father's former team Manchester United, and now reports suggest Beckham is planing to use his MSL venture to launch the youngster's career.
A source tells Britain's Daily Star newspaper, "The Beckham family see their future in the U.S. at the moment. As a result, it makes sense for Brooklyn to play for his dad's team.
"At first, he had reservations because people might think he'd get an easy ride. But it would be a dream come true for him to play with his dad by his side. They're working together towards making it happen."

This is a must read: Singing the Mass, by Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted of Phoenix:
St. Augustine recounts in his autobiography Confessions an experience he had during the singing of the Mass:
"How I wept, deeply moved by your hymns, songs, and the voices that echoed through your Church! What emotion I experienced in them! Those sounds flowed into my ears, distilling the truth in my heart. A feeling of devotion surged within me, and tears streamed down my face — tears that did me good."
How can we explain this overwhelming and transforming experience that led one of our greatest saints to the Church? Clearly, this was much more than a man simply being moved by a well-performed song. His entire being was penetrated and transformed through music. How can this be?
At Mass, Christ sings to the Father
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (#1157) makes a direct reference to St. Augustine's experience when it teaches that the music and song of the liturgy "participate in the purpose of the liturgical words and actions: the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful."
The Mass itself is a song; it is meant to be sung. Recall that the Gospels only tell us of one time when Jesus sings: when he institutes the Holy Eucharist (Cf. Mt 26:30; Mk 14:26). We should not be surprised, then, that Christ sings when he institutes the sacramentum caritatis (the Sacrament of love), and that for the vast majority of the past 2,000 years, the various parts of the Mass have been sung by priests and lay faithful. In the 1960s, the Second Vatican Council strongly encouraged a rediscovery of the ancient concept of singing the Mass: "[The musical tradition of the universal Church] forms a necessary or integral part of solemn liturgy" (Sacrosanctum Concilium,112). The Mass is most itself when it is sung.
This recent rediscovery of "singing the Mass" did not begin with the Second Vatican Council. READ FULL ARTICLE

With spring planting around the corner, it's time to analyze the impact of recent precipitation events on soil moisture recharge and whether drought concerns are warranted for the northern Corn Belt.
One of the major differences between this winter and last winter has been the absence of snowfall across the northern Great Plains. Storm systems have remained well to the south and north of the region. Last year most locations in North Dakota were approaching 50 in. of snow for the winter, while this year you would be hard pressed to find many locations that have received 12 in. so far this winter.
The disappointing snow totals across the northern Plains have definitely reduced the flood risk for the Missouri River basin. Unfortunately, the miserable snow season has extended westward to include most of the central Rocky and Sierra mountains. With 40% of the snow season yet remaining, there is time to benefit from late snowstorm activity, but current streamflow estimates don't paint a rosy outlook.
If normal moisture is received through the remainder of the winter, streamflow estimates for the Platte watershed indicate flows of less than 80% of normal. More concerning is that the average snowpack in the central Rockies is under 85%. When it drops below 85%, it may likely disappear before mid-June as it did in 2000, 2002 and 2006. This would increase the odds that heat and dryness would build eastward until the Monsoon season begins across the desert Southwest during the second half of July.
The next couple of months are critical for cutting into precipitation deficits that have accumulated since the end of the last growing season across the northern Plains. If there is below normal mountain snowpack and March storms don't substantially cut into these moisture deficits, a drought alert will likely be issued for northeastern Nebraska by early April.

Breast cancer blog: Just another day? Yeah, right
Related topics
Day three since returning home from the hospital where I underwent a lumpectomy, and nearly two weeks now since receiving the breast cancer diagnosis - and I'm getting antsy.
The procedure was straightforward: the first incision of about two inches removed the tumour - a little over 3cm in diameter - and surrounding tissue. Then a second, smaller incision removed three lymph nodes to test for cancer. A lumpectomy is considered intermediate surgery, and meant I spent four nights in hospital.
I've been ordered to rest and recover, but the old me – the one so accustomed to the rat race - is ready to bounce back and restart the engine. I've emailed work to let them know I am back from the hospital and would like to get back ASAP. "You need the rest and recovery," a colleague recommended. They are right. What am I thinking?
I've just received a serious diagnosis, but I go from wanting to slip back into the old me in the same way we gravitate towards those comfortable but tattered sneakers, to telling myself to let go and start a new chapter.
Remember those resolutions I made in the hospital? I am going to do less, talk slower, walk slower, and enjoy life and loved ones more. In reality, it's incredibly hard turning around a 747 in flight, and I've always been bad at New Year's resolutions. It's hard to shed the old me.
To be sure, I've spent the morning e-mailing friends, writing, brainstorming new projects, and even getting back on the treadmill and ramping up the incline from 2.0 to 2.8 (I'm even a bit embarrassed and impatient at myself). The stack of magazines and movies that I said I would savour mostly sit on the sidelines.
Change is all about baby steps, stride by stride.
There was lunch with the aunt and the grandmother (pictured above). Sit-down lunches and chit-chat is somewhat new to me. I've been known to wolf down lunch at my desk. As recently as three weeks ago I would rush through sit-down lunches with family, but now this felt good. Being rushed, as I've discovered, serves little purpose.
By the time we emerged from lunch the rain storm had passed, and the aunt dropped me off at the hair salon, an old fashioned shop run by baby boomers. The stylists and manicurist of another vintage were deep in their conversations and drinking tea from thermoses. They looked up, surprised to see a young woman coming midday/weekday for a hair wash.
I badly wanted to tell them that this was like being in heaven, I could, finally, relish a good hair wash after a week in the hospital. This was a taste of freedom, and I savoured it slowly.

Ben Venice is my take on what sixties Nick Fury: Agent Of S.H.I.E.L.D. might have been like behind the scenes if it had been set in something closer to the real world, but really it is a distilled version of a bunch of stuff I love, designed to be extremely easy to consume on account of the fact that it's made up of a bunch of really short parts.
It's easier to show you than tell you, so tune in next week when we Meet Ben Venice.

By Tom Perry and Laila Bassam
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Beating back an incursion by Islamists from Syria, Lebanon's poorly armed military has paid a high price - 36 of its soldiers have been killed or captured. But it has gained in one important respect by winning support from Lebanon's fractious politicians.
At odds about so much, including just who their enemies are, leaders from across Lebanon's sectarian divide have shown rare unity by agreeing they have a common foe in the Islamic State - the radical Islamist group that is dismembering Iraq and Syria.
The concern among the Lebanese appears to be shared by their rival foreign patrons, determined to prevent a radical Sunni "caliphate" stretching from the Tigris to the Mediterranean.
With the Lebanese army part of a regional battle against the Sunni radicals, statements of support have come from an unlikely array of countries including Syria and Saudi Arabia, the United States and Iran.
As Syria and Iraq have fragmented with the stunning advance of Islamic State fighters - an offshoot of al-Qaeda - protecting Lebanon from renewed instability is a concern shared by all.
In the case of Saudi Arabia, support came with a promise of an extra $1 billion for the Lebanese security forces.
That put Riyadh - a sponsor of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad - on the same side as Syria, whose warplanes were bombing the militants in the border zone as the Lebanese army attacked on the other side.
The militants' incursion into the border town of Arsal on Aug. 2 heightened fears they could extend their battleground into Lebanon, already destabilized by the Syrian civil war that has inflamed sectarian tensions between Sunnis and Shi'ites.
The militants pulled out of the town on Wednesday, after sustaining dozens of fatalities, according to Lebanese security officials. They took 19 soldiers with them as hostages.
Lebanon's most significant players have rallied behind the army. They include former prime minister Saad al-Hariri, the most influential Sunni figure, and Hezbollah, the heavily armed, Iranian-backed Shi'ite group that has been fighting alongside Assad's forces in Syria.
Hariri, bitterly at odds with Hezbollah for years, returned to Lebanon on Friday for the first time in three years, saying he planned to discuss how the Saudi funds could be used.
"There are, of course, still many divisions in Lebanon. But no one has a choice other than to back the army," said Nabil Boumonsef, a columnist at the Lebanese daily An-Nahar.
"We know what it means if the army breaks up and what will happen in the whole country. We will become part of a picture stretching from Mosul to Arsal," he said, referring to the Iraqi city on the Tigris River seized by the Islamic State in June.
The Lebanese army's role is twofold, confronting the new militant threat while also helping to shore up national unity at a time of regional upheaval and sectarian strife.
Though it remains hamstrung by outdated weapons - its oldest tanks date to the 1950s - and ammunition shortages, the army has at least obtained the political support needed to act at all.
"Agree on what you want to do and I am ready. We just need political cover," General Jean Kahwaji, the army's Maronite Christian commander, told ministers at a cabinet meeting during the crisis, according to a source who attended.
Wary of sectarian tensions exacerbated by its role fighting just over the border in Syria, Hezbollah said it stayed out of the battle for Arsal, a Sunni town that has already been a flashpoint for tensions unleashed by the Syria war.
Though it has thousands of hardened fighters and its arsenal is more powerful than the army's, including state-level rocket systems, Hezbollah said the battle was the military's to fight.
The Lebanese are all too aware of the risks of sectarianism spreading into the army. Lebanon's slide into the 1975-90 civil war was accelerated by the disintegration of the army along sectarian lines.
The Arsal operation risked sucking the army, drawn from Lebanon's patchwork of religious communities, into a sectarian fire storm. With Hezbollah fighting the same militants on the other side of the border, a handful of Sunni critics said the army appeared to be taking sides with the Shi'ite group.
As the fighting escalated, one Sunni MP - a hawkish member of Hariri's party - ratcheted up the sectarian rhetoric by describing events in Arsal as part of an "Iranian-Syrian plot to subdue the Sunnis".
The lawmaker, Mohamed Kabara, "warned of any decision that turns our inclusive, national army ... into something resembling Maliki's army". He was referring to the Iraqi military which critics say has become a sectarian weapon in the hands of Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, a Shi'ite.
Sectarian turbulence has spread from Arsal to other Sunni areas of Lebanon as a result of the battle. Soldiers have come under fire in the northern city of Tripoli. On Wednesday, a bomb targeting an army patrol killed one person in the same city.
But influential voices such as Sunni cleric Sheikh Dai al-Islam Al-Shahaal have helped to contain the fallout. He issued a fatwa, or religious edict, forbidding fighting with the army.
The battle has coincided with national army day. Banners pledging support for the army abound in the streets.
One of Lebanon's mobile operators has launched a campaign allowing subscribers to donate to the army from their cell phones. In a Christian district of Beirut, a church invited worshippers to attend a nighttime vigil for the army.
Including reservists, the army currently numbers about 65,000. It is the most trusted security force in Lebanon, enjoying the support of far more Lebanese than more overtly sectarian internal security agencies.
Experts say Sunnis make up its largest sectarian component, many of them from poor areas of northeast Lebanon. At least eight of the 17 soldiers killed in Arsal were Sunni.
A Shi'ite politician said concerns about the potential for sectarian tensions in the army faded early into the Arsal operation when it became clear that mainstream Sunni politicians, chief among them Hariri, were fully on board.
"The matter is now one of the state, represented by the army, against terrorism, and this has, to a great degree, reduced the tension," said the politician, talking on condition of anonymity because he was discussing national security.
The government, responding to the Arsal crisis, has asked France to accelerate the delivery of weapons being bought with $3 billion of previously pledged aid from Saudi Arabia.
Announcing the extra $1 billion Saudi pledge, Hariri poured scorn on Hezbollah, likening its role in the Syria war to the militants' incursion into Arsal. But he added: "There is a Lebanese consensus on supporting the army and the internal security forces and all Lebanese institutions."

R&J Public Relations
launch website
Project Details.
We are proud to announce the launch of our latest custom WordPress Design and Development project.
R&J Public Relations required a robust content management system that allowed them to manage, edit and display several different types of data in innovative ways.
As there are several site editors, a simple and intuitive backend interface was required.
The solution we chose was a custom site using WordPress, built on a child theme of the TwentyTen theme. To accommodate the different data types being used on the site we used several different custom post types, each with its own custom taxonomies and custom meta boxes. This created a very intuitive and user friendly interface in the admin area of the site. Mix in some clean AJAX UI effects on the front end of the site (powered by jQuery) and you have R&J's new, sleek site.

Add on: Goodreads
Rating: 5 of 5 stars
On the cusp of her first London season, Miss Madeline Gracechurch was shyly pretty and talented with a drawing pencil, but hopelessly awkward with gentlemen. She was certain to be a dismal failure on the London marriage mart. So Maddie did what generations of shy, awkward young ladies have done: she invented a sweetheart.
A Scottish sweetheart. One who was handsome and honorable and devoted to her, but conveniently never around. Maddie poured her heart into writing the imaginary Captain MacKenzie letter after letter … and by pretending to be devastated when he was (not really) killed in battle, she managed to avoid the pressures of London society entirely.
Until years later, when this kilted Highland lover of her imaginings shows up in the flesh. The real Captain Logan MacKenzie arrives on her doorstep—handsome as anything, but not entirely honorable. He's wounded, jaded, in possession of her letters… and ready to make good on every promise Maddie never expected to keep.
I'm really tempted to write an entire review of just quotes because this book is just that wonderful, but I figured you guys might want a somewhat cohesive review, so here are words.
If you haven't read any Tessa Dare before but you love utterly romantic HR stories, heartwarming characters, cuteness out the wazoo, interesting secondary characters and ceaseless giggling and snickering, than drop everything, pick this book and read it now, because you my friend are missing out on some major awesomeness.
When a Scot Ties the Knot is just outright entertaining in the best way and knows how to pull on all the heartstrings. The premise seems a little outlandish, shy Maddie invents an imaginary sweetheart to keep her from having to come out into society, fast-forward so many years, and lo and behold, Captain Logan MacKenzie appears, ready to sweep her off her feet. Hilarity and adorableness ensues.
My dear imaginary Captain MacKenzie, you are not real and never will be. I, however, am a true and eternal fool.
Here, have a drawing of a snail.
I love Maddie. She's got something akin to a social anxiety disorder and she's pretty content living in her castle, with her drawings and her lobsters Rex and Fluffy. She's independent, intelligent, kind-hearted and endearingly awkward.
I think you underestimate my capacity for taking normal human interaction and making it awkward.
I love Logan. Much to Maddie's surprise, a very real Logan shows up as battle-worn, slightly broken solider (along with his men, who are also adorable and awesome), determine to start a new life, specifically at the castle. Despite his attempt at being gruff, he's a totally sweetheart who truly cares for his men and the people around him. He's also a hot Scot that's utterly adorable and charming so there's really no resisting him.
And now, despite all her best attempts to avoid it, here it came.
Her heart started telling her a dangerous, dangerous tale. The story of a decent, loyal man who'd treasured her letters, dreamed of her nightly, survived battles and marched across continents to come home—not to a castle or a glen but to her. And even now, when he held her in his arms, he lacked the words to explain all the emotion in his heart.
It was nothing but a silly fiction.
It had to be.
Because their marriage starts off as a marriage of convenience, it's pretty fun to watch Maddie try not to fall head over heels for Logan.
When Maddie prepared for bed behind her screen that night, she emerged to find the most terrible sight yet. "Oh, really, Logan. That's just unfair."
He looked up from his reclined pose in her bedroom chaise longue, his face partly hidden behind a book bound in dark green leather. "What?"
"You're reading Pride and Prejudice?"
He shrugged. "I found it on your bookshelf."
Maddie and Logan's chemistry is awesomesauce. Despite the rocky start, they really build a solid friendship and their love story will have you swooning and giggling. There's also fantastic interactions between Maddie and Logan, and Logan's men. I'm so happy everyone got a happily ever after.
Overall, this book made me so ridiculously happy to read. Go read it now.
"Logan. That is the stupidest, sweetest thing I've ever heard."
"What can I say. I'm…"
"Squish. Pure Squish."
"I was going to say I'm in love with you, but I suppose it isna much different."
{* Thanks to the Avon and Edelweiss for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
"Let's have a look at your tatties, then."
She blushed and crossed her arms over her chest. "What? Now? Here?"
"Not those. Your tatties. The potatoes, mo chiride."
"Oh." She bit her lips. "I did think it was a bit early in the day for that."
"Thank you for carrying me."
"You weigh less than a bird. It was nothing."
"It was distressingly romantic, is what it was. Would you try to be a bit less dashing? This is meant to be a convenient arrangement."
"As you like, mo chride."
I dinna do cuddling, he'd said.
She nuzzled the velvety cropped hairs at the nape of his neck, smiling secretly to herself. Perhaps he didn't do cuddling, but she did. She was excellent at it, apparently.

Theatre of the absurd

Related Stories
Parliament is back in session, and so too question period.
Nobody would dispute that the former is a crucial part of the way in which we govern ourselves. But the latter? It's more than irrelevant – it is arguably harmful to our democracy.
To suggest such a thing is heretical, of course. Since Parliament's return on Monday, we have been subjected to the usual back-in-session news coverage and opinion columns about who said what in question period, who scored and who didn't. We have been told, implicitly or explicitly, that QP (as it is known) is vitally important.
But is it? In an era of declining voter participation, in a time of pervasive cynicism about our politicians and our democratic institutions, a fair case could be made that QP now does more harm than good.
It was not always thus. Before the advent of television cameras in the Commons chamber, it is fair to say that QP played an important role in holding the government of the day to account. But after television arrived in 1977, QP rapidly devolved into what former Prime Minister John Turner famously called "bullsh-- theatre."
Over the years, multiple public opinion surveys have been commissioned to examine why fewer citizens are voting, and why so many of them are disenchanted with the political process. The results are always the same, with the histrionics in QP always ranking high on the list. Puerile and idiotic behaviour – along with the inevitable posturing and pontificating – has turned the electorate away in sizeable numbers.
A fairly recent Nanos poll for Policy Options, for instance, was quite clear: only 10% of Canadians – one in 10 – said they were satisfied with the way things were done in the House of Commons; two thirds of them, meanwhile, wanted to see vastly improved behaviour there. Said the respected polling firm: "An overwhelming majority thinks the House of Commons would be more effective if MPs had more free votes in the House and were more polite in question period…Canadians are tuned-out, turned-off and skeptical of the effectiveness of the House of Commons."
More than half of Canadians, Nanos found, are not getting information about government from the Internet, newspapers or radio. More than half are doing so – and forming impressions – based on TV coverage.
This is not a good thing. Fox News founder Roger Ailes typically knows why. Asked about what works on TV, and what doesn't, Ailes said: "If you have two guys on a stage and one guy says, 'I have a solution to the Middle East problem,' and the other guy falls in the orchestra pit, who do you think is going to be on the evening news?"
Precisely. TV, by its very nature, rewards those who are LOUD. It adores CONFLICT. It is a medium that is all about PASSION, not reason.
As long as television cameras remain in the Commons, nothing is going to change for the better. Ipso facto, voters will continue to grow disenchanted with democracy itself.
As former B.C. Premier Gord Campbell once said to me, after his 1996 election loss: "It's 70% how you look, and it's 20% how you say it.
"And, unfortunately, and it's only 10% what you actually say."

The Meydan Group, developer of the Meydan Racecourse, announced a major new community development and tower project on the first day of Cityscape Global.
Hadaeq Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid is a new 190,000m2 housing scheme in Nad Al Sheba, Dubai. The development will feature canals and lagoons, incorporating English, French and Japanese landscaping.
The entire water network will run over alongside a horse-riding trail, walking and jogging paths, bicycle track and other sports amenities.
The Meydan Group also relaunched its stalled 72-storey Meydan Tower in Sheikh Zayed Road, originally proposed by the group in 2009 as its first venture outside its key Meydan City development.
Meydan Tower will contain homes, offices, shops and hotels, as well as one of the largest spa and fitness centres in the region, featuring an indoor running track and tennis courts.
"As the strategic vision of H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum [Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai], Meydan has always sought to play an active role in growing Dubai's famed urban landscape.
"Our projects have been designed to position Dubai at the forefront of innovation and progress, and we look forward to furthering this vision with these signature developments," said Saeed H. Al Tayer, the chief executive of the Meydan Group.


text: A croquette is a bread-crumbed roll that makes for a delicious appetiser or snack. This dish from Marcello Tully makes two varieties; one meat-free one using cheese and sweetcorn, and another with a ham, pea and mint filling. Fry the onions in the butter for 3-4 minutes in a heavy-based pan, without colouring. Add the flour to the pan and mix well. Continue mixing, and add the milk and salt. Bring the mixture to the boil until it has thickened. Take the pan off the heat and leave to cool slightly. Gradually whisk in the beaten egg until incorporated. Split the mixture between two bowls. To one bowl, add the ham, peas and mint, and the cheese, sweetcorn and parsley into the other. Cover each bowl and refrigerate until cold and set. Dust flour onto your hands and shape each mix into 2 inch-long barrel-shaped croquettes. Alternatively, pipe the mix using a large, plain round nozzle. Place the croquettes on floured plates, ensuring you keep them separated if catering for someone who doesn't eat meat. Roll the barrels gently in the flour. Dip the barrels into the egg mix and then the breadcrumbs, until they are well coated. This method is a good one for little ones to learn as it can be used for many dishes ranging from fish fingers to chicken Kiev. Set a deep fat fryer to 180°C. If you don't have a fryer, half-fill a pan with oil and heat until a sugar thermometer reaches 180°C. To tell if the oil is hot enough without the aid of a sugar thermometer, pop a cube of bread into the oil. If it goes very dark after 40 seconds, the oil is too hot. If the bread is pale and barely coloured, it needs a little more time to heat up. First fry the cheese and sweetcorn croquettes in the oil for 2-3 minutes until they become crispy and golden brown in colour. Set these aside and then, fry the ham, pea and mint croquettes in the same way. Use a kitchen towel to absorb any excess oil from the croquettes. Serve along with some redcurrant jelly.

Afire with neon blue, the marlin shimmied and snaked its way into the wake and the spread, coming in dead off the starboard side. Everyone saw it at once and made noisy note.
Hes gonna eat it! hollered Ben, holding the rod with the drop back bait, a small jack. It was already 30 feet back.
Hes eatin it, hes eatin it! Ben swung on the fish, winding on the little silver reel, and the black rod bent hard. The marlin headed off right into the sun, back the way hed come into the spread of trolled baits and lures.
Things got interesting in a hurry, with three men trying to use cameras, two men trying to get the rest of the trolled rigging out of the way before the fish fouled itself, and Ben, who was braced with one leg up on the rail, alternately pulling and winding on the fish.
It was a big cockpit, but at the moment there were traffic jams on both sides of the unused fighting chair. The marlin had disappeared off up past the deckhouse, but the skipper and John Ireland were shouting on the bridge that it had jumped.
When we got the invitation from Jack Nilsen of Accurate to join him at John Irelands Rancho Leonero to do a product shoot, Paul Sweeney and I packed our cameras and our bags. We traveled light, with little fishing equipment, since I knew Jack would have plenty of reels. I brought a couple of my new Super Seeker rods and a bag of jigs and Mustad hooks for light tackle fishing May 20 to 22.
We taxied from Los Cabos airport, arriving at the beginning of a sweet tropical Sea of Cortez evening to enjoy three days of first-class style angling aboard Irelands 50-foot Mikelson sportfisher Luna-Sea.
Rejoicing in the warm, light sea breeze, we saw the Ranch was lovely as ever, with improvements since our last visit a year ago. Ireland has renovated much, notably the bar/dining room, which has been opened up to be even more spacious and airy. For the first time, a wide-screen TV hangs on the wall at the far end of the bar, showing off a high-def satellite picture for those who want to keep up with things like the NBA conference finals.
Bartender Jorge and the rest of the staff were still there, so the place felt as homey as ever. A hurricane last year took out a couple of the wall-mounted fish hanging in the dining room, and I noticed the old lion skin was gone. But there was a new covering for part of the dining patio outside, and all the beds had been replaced with fancy new big pillow-top models, making for comfortable, healthy sleeping in the air-conditioned rooms and stone walled thatched bungalows.
There are several resorts at East Cape, and each has its own flavor and style, but I keep coming back to the Ranch because the place is smaller and more relaxed than most (Ireland calls it intimate), and its set away from the rest of the resorts, up on a small headland that gets sea breeze from two sides. If youve got shade, the breeze keeps you cool at the Ranch, and the view flat out cannot be beat.
Food is good, and varied daily here. Wells tap plenty of cool, clean water, enough to keep the grounds so green the resort looks like a little paradise, where mountains and Baja desert meet miles of white beach and the deep blue waters of the Cortez.
Fishing begins about ten yards from the beach, and you seldom have to ride more than a very few miles before you can find something biting, like marlin, tuna, sailfish, dorado, snapper, roosterfish or two dozen other sporting species.
Jack Nilsen and Ben Secrest, Accurate vice president of sales and marketing, wanted Paul Sweeney and I to get video and stills of some new gear. They had three spinning reels: named 30, 20 and 12, and two-speed Boss conventional reels with them, from the tiny 197 up to the 665 series. They also had a new line of Accurate rods to match the reels, made from light, slender but strong high-modulus graphite. Accurate makes two-speed, (with and without the pre-set drag mechanism) twin-drag reels all the way up to the 130 International size, but for this event the gear was small, light and easy to handle.
Small doesnt mean little in terms of line strength, however. Most of the reels were loaded with 50 to 80-pound Spectra, with a short topshot of mono or fluorocarbon, a leader that could be easily changed to match the targeted species. Our first morning of fishing was spent catching snapper and cabrilla, which were plentiful just a quarter mile from the portable loading pier where anglers board their pangas and cruisers each day around seven a.m.
Several types of snappers are available here, and some get so large they can be a serious challenge on heavy tackle. Snapper are about the only game fish Ive caught that are even better at getting into the rocks as yellowtail. On this morning I got a couple on my new 665 F Super Seeker with an 870 N two-speed Accurate and two with the light version of Jacks new spinning outfit.
Fish were thick on this rockpile. We found plenty of Pargo Amarillo, or yellowtail snapper of two to six pounds. They bit best on 20 to 30-pound mono and a 1/0 hook. I like to use a ringed Mustad circle hook for this type of fishing, and with a larger bait, Id size up the hook. The local guides make their own ringed hooks by tying a loop or perfection knot, which gives the bait a similar mobility.
Pargo and their cabrilla buddies bit well on sardinas. These baitfish look very much like western herring or eastern pilchard, with a single dark spot aft center of the gill plate like the row of spots that run down the sides of sardines. The guides suggest stunning the bait, to make it easier for the snappers to run down. I tried baits both ways, stunned and not stunned, and found the guides knew what they were talking about, though I also caught a couple of snapper on speedy, unimpeded baits.
After we were done with the snapper and cabrilla we moved southward, and Ben and Jack made some deep drops in 200 to 300 feet with knife jigs, which produced whitefish and a bright orange-red popeye catalufa. It could have been a glasseye, but I cant tell the difference. They had outfits set up for the purpose.
We tried slow-trolling mullet for roosterfish next, off the lighthouse at Punta Arena. We got one looker but no takers. Two anglers in a skiff showed us a 30-pound yellowfin they said they had caught right there, but we saw no tuna sign. This is a great place to find jack crevalle, but on our days here those fish didnt show. Many shore anglers love this place for its proximity to deep water. A determined beach fisherman might manage to hook a marlin or a tuna here because of the drop-off and the currents circulating up to the sandy spit.
We spent the rest of our time fishing for marlin, so we could document the use of the new light Accurate gear on larger, more powerful fish. That first afternoon, we drew a blank.
The next day, we could sense a change coming, as the breeze picked up a bit earlier, from the east-southeast. It died and then went to the south. We trolled live mullet, rigged dead ballyhoo, and skirted jigs. During the afternoon, we raised two marlin. Both came into the spread, but refused. Just shopping.
On our last day there was a big change. The breeze came up shortly after dawn, and reached 15 or 20 knots, out of the south. The palms around the pool pointed their fronds downwind, and whitecaps danced over a sloshy chop.
Its going to lay down, predicted both owner John Ireland and foreman Gary Barnes-Webb. We boarded Irelands Luna-Sea again. Not knowing what to expect, we moved off toward the waters a few miles out from the lighthouse, where wed come close to billfish the day before.
As predicted, the breeze lay down. But that didnt help the fishing. The water smoothed off, but we couldnt see a fish anywhere, not even the jumpers wed been watching and chasing the past two days.
Before lunch, the wind suddenly picked up again. Within an hour, the cobalt Cortez was capped with white as far as you could see. The chop got up to three or four feet in a jiffy. If wed been in a panga it would have been dangerous to fish. In a small cruiser it would have been uncomfortable. On the 50-foot Luna-Sea we werent much affected, although we sometimes lurched a bit in a head sea. I enjoyed my lunch of a dried beef burrito and a ham and cheese sandwich, with chips, an apple and a diet cola.
The breezy, choppy, sloppy conditions made a marlin miracle. We started seeing tailers, jumpers, even feeders in the white-capped blue waves. It wasnt long before that first one took that dropped-back bait. Ben Secrest worked the fish over while our skipper Gaspar ran the boat to his best advantage. The new Accurate outfit Ben fished with worked just like it should, putting pressure on the striper, picking up any slack with its high-speed gear ratio, while Ben shifted to make the most of any situation.
A rigged ballyhoo on a 9/0 Mustad 7691 hook got the bite, and the rest of the outfit used 80-pound Blackwater hollow core Spectra and 100-pound Blackwater flourocarbon leader on an Accurate 665 two-speed reel and an Accurate 7040 C rod.
Paul kept the Sony HD camcorder winding, recording on tape while Ben was winding line, and three cameramen worked around each other on the deck as Jack shot his photos from the bridge. It was only 10 or 12 minutes before Secrest had the marlin whipped enough to get it boatside for a release. We all celebrated, and began to relax; our mission was at least partly accomplished.
We kept seeing marlin tailing and we sidled up to many to show them the goods, but the wind slacked off and they seemed to lose interest accordingly. Then there was a long period, maybe an hour without a sighting. I napped in Irelands leather-lined salon, on a long sofa-seat at the table.
I awoke to shouting. Another fish had come in for a nibble, but we missed him. I went out on the after deck to see the wind had picked up again. We began to see more marlin, some jumping in the distance, a few feeding and slashing at the choppy surface, and more tailing downwind. We were about out of time, said Ireland, who needed to host at home that evening.
Then we hung another fish. Secrest had it on a lighter outfit, and this one looked to be a bit bigger. Bens rig on this fish was a rigged ballyhoo on a 9/0 Mustad 7691 hook tied to 65-pound Blackwater Spectra and 80-pound Blackwater Fluoro on an 870 N two-speed Accurate reel and a Accurate 7030 C rod.
This fish gave us little aerial show, and like the other fish, seemed to want to sidle off up toward the bow, across the wind and chop. Backing into the chop brought water splashes up over the transom, and soon Ben was soaked on his front side, but in control of the fish.
A couple of turns by the skipper and Bens hard pulling had the marlin up to the boat, where all the shooters tried to get a shot before it was released. It was over before I could get in there.
Moments later we got one more bite, and LA County fireman-engineer Wayne Shimabukuro played the fish for a moment before it freed itself. We had what we needed, and it was late in the afternoon. We saw more than 40 marlin. We tried to present to at least eight of them. We had some good looks, a couple of whacks, and Ben got a brace of beaks to the boat. It was a satisfaction.
The ice chest produced cold bottles of Pacifico beer and limes. We toasted our good fortune as skipper Gaspar pointed the big Mikelson downwind and north toward The Ranch. The ride flattened out and the wake wave rose nearly to the height of the transom.
The shadow of the big bridge kept us in the shade as we kicked back to enjoy a smooth ride, thanks to Jack Nilsen and John Ireland, and the end of a good adventure.

N.C. Open Government Coalition Wins Grant
The North Carolina Open Government Coalition was recently awarded a $35,000 operations grant from the National Freedom of Information Coalition. The funds will be used to support the work of the coalition for the next three years while it works to secure an endowment to support permanently the operations of the coalition's Sunshine Center. The Sunshine Center, which is part of the School of Communications at Elon University, works to improve community awareness of the state's open meetings and open records laws through education and outreach. The Sunshine Center also works to provide resources to citizens and other open government stakeholders.
The National Freedom of Information Council is housed at the University of Missouri and provides annual support to citizen drive efforts to establish freedom of information coalitions and organizations that protect the First Amendment.
"The North Carolina coalition has joined the ranks of vibrant, free-standing state groups, and we at NFOIC couldn't be happier," said Charles Davis, executive director of the NFOIC and professor at the University of Missouri. "The grants program is aimed at growing and sustaining state FOI groups, and North Carolina has now taken the next major step forward, securing a permanent home. We couldn't be happier."
The NFOIC also hosts an annual conference that brings the state coalitions and other stakeholders together to create a collective voice on the issue. A grant from the Knight Foundation supports the work of the NFOIC.
The funds from the NFOIC will allow the NC OGC to have a part-time director dedicated to the long term goals of the coalition, one of which includes hosting Sunshine Day.
"These operating funds are critical to our organization as we work to create a permanent presence in the state related to open government," said Jim Hefner, president of the North Carolina Open Government Coalition. "This financial support of open government work is a tribute to those in our state and elsewhere who hold dear the principles of good, effective, open government. The North Carolina Open Government Coalition is dedicated to these very principles. This funding toward the Sunshine Center will go a long way in protecting and expanding those principles as we move forward."
The NFOIC grant provides operating funds for two years and included a request that the coalition reapply for funding in the third year as it works to achieve its endowment goals. The coalition has an endowment goal of $500,000.

MWEB Gamezone writer Zubayr Bhyat explores one of the key aspects ignored by many game developers that could've brought many a game into brilliance: Storytelling
http://www.mweb.co.za/games... This is the correct link. Pasted the incorrect one after :) Apologies.
Such a lovely article! I agree entirely. Although as I said yesterday, I went into games like COD thinking "I'm here to kill things" and then ended up weeping a bit as the story unfolded because I am lame xD
I find it amazing so many developers don't invest more into good storytelling. So many good stories invest into our imagination and inspire.
Great read, games like Dear Esther and To the Moon filled me with wonder. Storytelling is a vital aspect of player immersion for me, more so than good graphics and action.
With all the flashy graphics nowadays, its seems that a lot of developers forget storyline and its so important. Nice article. I hope more devs read it to remind themselves of paying attention to this part of a game. I want to be entertained and immersed in a game, not just drool over the pretty graphics, which normally lasts 5 minutes.
@TongkatAli - Must check that out. Enjoyed Wall-E so may look at that.
Speaking of which, Wall-E was another great piece of storytelling done brilliantly.

Selection Sunday 2014: Bubble Teams That Will Make NCAA TournamentMarch 14, 2014
College basketball already has one of the most interesting postseason experiences with the NCAA tournament, but the hype surrounding the 2014 edition of Selection Sunday has programs across the nation on edge.
With elite programs like Nebraska, Tennessee and Brigham Young all currently sitting on the bubble, all of these teams should be supremely confident that what they accomplished this season will be enough to earn a spot in the NCAA tourney.
All of the following bubble teams will make the big dance.
Nebraska Cornhuskers (19-11, 11-7 Big Ten)
The Nebraska Cornhuskers aren't going to excel in any one area with any real consistency, but the team has depth and talent across the roster and is willing to fight for every inch of space on the court.
As shown in the final regular-season game of the year against Wisconsin, Nebraska weathered the storm and rode elite shooting with stellar defense to help it almost certainly cement a spot in the NCAA tournament.
Head coach Tim Miles told the Associated Press, via ESPN, about the success of his team after it defeated Wisconsin on March 9:
That's what we want Husker basketball to be about and that's what we want it to continue to be about. We've had a good run, a really good run. But we're only halfway through the journey. This is my program. We don't carry any baggage. Everywhere we've been, I've been surrounded by great people and we win, and we're going to keep doing it. So all that cursed crap, all of the hexing and vexing and all that (stuff) that goes with it is exactly that.
The Cornhuskers started the year strong, but a tough stretch in late December through January resulted in six losses in seven games. Nebraska finished the season with momentum, though, and won 10 of its last 12 games.
For the program to ensure a spot in the big dance, the Cornhuskers must beat the winner of the Ohio State vs. Purdue game and advance to the next round in order to erase all doubt about Nebraska's legitimacy.
Tennessee Volunteers (20-11, 11-7 SEC)
There is no doubt that the Tennessee Volunteers had a strong season in the Southeastern Conference, but the program has failed to beat the programs that would have catapulted the team into the NCAA tournament.
Losses to Wichita State, Texas A&M, Kentucky, Florida and Missouri have hurt Tennessee's chances of taking the bracket. The Volunteers did finish the season strong (won five of the last six games), though, and have earned a bye in the SEC tourney as a fourth seed.
Regardless of which team Tennessee will play on Friday, the team has proved over the final few games that it has the talent rebounding the ball and playing defense to stifle any program in the SEC.
With that newfound confidence and the unpredictability of a conference tournament, the Volunteers have what it takes to reach the semifinals and even make some noise in the conference championship if their shots fall.
If Tennessee stays hot, the program is going dancing.
Brigham Young Cougars (23-11, 13-5 WCC)
The Brigham Young Cougars were defeated in the finals of the West Coast Conference Championship by Gonzaga, but the biggest loss of the night came when star guard Kyle Collinsworth went down injured.
According to Jeff Borzello of CBS Sports, Collinsworth will miss the remainder of the season:
Despite the devastating news, ESPN's Andy Katz, via LoyalCougars.com, believes the team is still a bubble team likely to make the tournament:
Even with Collinsworth's injury, BYU is still one of the most explosive offensive teams in the nation. Led by junior guard Tyler Haws's 23.4 points per game, the Cougars averaged a third-best 84.2 points per game this season.
The loss of Collinsworth will seriously limit how effective BYU can be in the NCAA tournament—he led the team in rebounds and assists per game and was second in PPG—but the team's record in the WCC and overall will be enough to get it into the dance.

Full disclosure: I love Indian food. Beyond curries and tandoori, I think Indian food has more layers, more texture and more tingle for your tongue than any other culture's food. And Metropolis Curry and Kabob lives up to its cuisine's expectations.
We began with the pakoras, essentially fritters of either vegetables or shrimp. The shrimp ones we had were richly spiced and fried perfectly. The potato filled samosas are just lovely and only mildly spiced for the faint-of-heart.
In fact, none of the food here is spiced heavily unless you ask for extra heat, so if that has kept you from Indian food in the past, you needn't worry. If you've never tried Indian or Greek food, the appetizer platters would be a fun idea. On the Greek sampler, you get dolmades (rice-stuffed grape leaves), hummus and falafel for $7.99. For a dollar more, the tandoori sampler kabob, shrimp tandoori and -- my favorite -- chicken tikka, which is roasted chicken in a creamy tomato sauce.
Next we had my second favorite Indian dish, chicken korma. This fragrant dish consists of juicy chicken steeped in a yogurt, tomato and coconut curry. Metropolis' version has generous amounts of meat and a wonderful balance of spices.
Other Indian dishes include lamb rogan josh, seafood vindaloo and shrimp patia, which is cooked with mangoes, ginger and scallions. Next time, I'm trying the shrimp kahari, which is something like stir-fry. At $14.95, it's the highest priced single item on the menu.
On the Greek side, everything is equally good. When they brought us a giant salad covered in tomatoes, cucumbers and feta cheese, we thought they had gotten our order wrong. Then we received the main course. The salad was just a side for the huge, juicy gyro we had ordered. The grilled meat was tender and the onions were al dente, not soggy. For $8.99, this is a very good deal.
Aside from the usual naan, Metropolis has a few specialty breads that are out of this world. The keema naan is stuffed with lamb meat and spices, the bullet naan is for those who like it hot, but the very best is the pishwari stuffed with raisins, coconut and cashews. I could eat this stuff all day.
If this sounds good but you're not sure about trying something new, go during lunch for the buffet. Both Indian and Greek foods are offered so you can determine your favorites, from meatball masala to mater methi malai.
If you're lucky, they will have my favorite dessert on the buffet: gulab jamun. Spongy powdered milk balls soaked in rose scented syrup may not sound great, but they are amazing.
If you're looking for something new and adventurous, Metropolis has gracious service, reasonable prices and hasn't really been discovered by Macon yet. Go now before the rush.

Happy Days legend Henry Winkler picked up an honorary Order of the British Empire (OBE) medal at the U.K. embassy in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.
The actor, who played cool dude the Fonz in the beloved sitcom, was handed the medal in recognition of his work for U.K. children's charities, specifically with kids who have dyslexia.
British ambassador Nigel Sheinwald presented the OBE to Winkler during a ceremony at the embassy.
Winkler says, "I am overwhelmed to have had my work recognised in this manner, and hope to continue showing children that no matter how they learn, they have brilliance in them."
British monarch Queen Elizabeth II hands out honorary awards to non-Brits on the advice of the Foreign Office.

Gary P. Cestaro
Dante and the Grammar of the Nursing Body takes a serious look at Dante's relation to Latin grammar and the new "mother tongue"—Italian vernacular—by exploring the cultural significance of the nursing mother in medieval discussions of language and selfhood. Inspired by Julia Kristeva's meditations on the maternal semiotic, Cestaro's book uncovers ancient and medieval discourses that assert the nursing body's essential role in the development of a mature linguistic self.
At the same time, these texts ultimately dictate the rejection—the metaphorical death and burial—of the nurse as a prerequisite to full-blown subjectivity and symbolic language. The nurse and her fluid body bespeak horror to Latin culture and its rational structures. Cestaro explores Dante's reception of this idea through several traditions: discourses on first-language acquisition and grammar; colorful allegorizations of lactating Lady Grammar with her whip; moralized readings of Virgil as a tale of individual human growth; and Neoplatonic descriptions of the chora, universal wetnurse in the story of creation.
The opening chapters locate traces of the nursing motif in Dante's minor works and particularly in his Latin treatise on the mother tongue, De vulgari eloquentia. Cestaro argues that a primal scene of suckling motivates the poet's musings on language and brings the work to its premature end. Subsequent chapters explore the evolution of the nursing body in the Comedy: from the parodic anti-nurse of Inferno (archetypically Circe with her poison milk), to the Christian deconstruction and reconstruction of selfhood in intimate association with female nursing on the mountain of Purgatorio.
The book ends in Paradiso with a dramatic metaphorical celebration of the nursing body as a site of eternal truth and emblem of the resurrected body promised by medieval Christianity. Dante thus undoes traditional notions of selfhood as opposition to the fluid body in a uniquely Christian and vernacular poetic key, a feat worthy of his cultural role as pioneer poet in the mother tongue. Scholars interested in probing psychoanalytic questions in medieval and early modern texts will find Cestaro's study useful for the productive relationship it forges between historical specificity and contemporary theory.
320 pages
"Gary Cestaro's study of the nursing body, language, and salvation in Dante's De vulgari eloquentia, Convivio, and Commedia constitutes a remarkable contribution to both Dante studies and the flourishing fields of gender and sexuality studies. This book about Dante's disinterment and resurrection of the permeable, reproductive, fluid, nurturing body as the primal signifier is groundbreaking (in several senses) and will invigorate many further investigations." — Speculum
". . . a highly intelligent and engaging read. Cestaro writes with great breadth. The book offers a nice balance of historical and theoretical readings of many thinkers to whom Dante was indebted while cultivating our appreciation for the artistry and luminosity of the Commedia." — Comitatus: A Journal of Medieval and Renaissance Studies
". . . Cestaro's subtle, complex, and thought-provoking book is a welcome demonstration of how much can be gained by reading the Commedia not only as a product of preceding traditions but also as an anticipation of themes central to thinkers such as Kristeva and Lacan. . . . [H]is thesis offers a cogent challenge to the standard view that the poem tends ultimately towards evanescence and the diminution of corporeality, for Cestaro recognizes that at the heart of the Paradiso there is an affirmation of the body as a site of joyous process." — MLR
"Cestaro marshals an impressive array of material, within and outside the Dante corpus, in the service of materializing Dante beyond the hypostases of classical virility and its modern critical analogues. Additionally, Cestaro writes like a charm." — Modern Philology
