Poetics of Politics: Textuality and Social Relevance in Contemporary American Literature and Culture

The Unpopular Profession
This paper discusses a genre of essay writing that advises students not to pursue a career in academia and that has recently enjoyed increased popularity. Focusing on one such "Thesis Hatement," it argues that these texts are marked by inner contradictions and that these contradictions are indicative of the cultural work they do. Emphatically rejecting academia, these texts typically fail to convince their audience and, in a curious split between denotation and pragmatics, open up a position from which to embrace a graduate career.

Narrative Instability in Contemporary US Popular Culture
Dissertation project by
Stefan Schubert
This (ongoing) project investigates contemporary US popular culture for what it terms 'narrative instability.' The project identifies a narrative trend since the 1990s among popular media to engage in instability in their narration: Such texts obfuscate and hinder narrative comprehension through fragmented, distorted, or unreliable narrations that complicate—and thus draw attention to—the process of (re)constructing a text's storyworld. Significantly, unlike novels of 'high' postmodernism, which serve as the forebears of this trend, these contemporary unstable texts have attained widespread commercial popularity among different media. The project thus examines this phenomenon as a transmedia trend by looking particularly at contemporary films (e.g., Fight Club, Inception), TV series (e.g., Westworld), and video games (e.g., Alan Wake, BioShock Infinite), while also pointing to contemporary novels that work similarly and have, in turn, been influenced by these 'newer' media (e.g., House of Leaves, People of Paper).
Mail Order Catalogs, Consumption, and the Construction of American Identity
Project by
Prof. Dr. Anne Koenen
This (completed) project focuses on consumerism based on mass production and standardization that emerged in the US in the first decades of the 20th century. One of the effects of consumerism has been identified as homogenization in the social sphere. That process of homogenization contributed to nation-building and was perceived as both democratizing (levelling, for example, class markers in dress) and desirable. Mail order (especially the most successful company, Sears Roebuck) was the most important media of homogenization for the rural population: it provided the rural population with an access to consumerism (and thus prevented an already starting exodus from the country, as Postmaster General Wanamaker stated when reforming the postal service with the explicit aim to facilitate the mail-order companies' business); it helped to "civilize" the still underdeveloped regions on the frontier, helping them join the rest of the US. In addition, it served as a primer and as a venue of buying for immigrants (who were consciously targeted as customers) who not only used to catalogs to learn to read and write, but also to achieve cultural literacy; and, as research has demonstrated, helped at least some African-Americans to be customers without having to suffer repression - mail order was color blind at a time when the US was mostly segregated. As a result, mail order served to "standardize" various groups into "Americans," enabling them join modernization. Consumption thus contributed in a major way to create a national identity in the US.
(Re)Constructing the Fifties: Self-Reflexivity, Melodrama, and Nostalgia in Contemporary US Popular Culture
Dissertation project by
Eleonora Ravizza
This (ongoing) dissertation project explores the contemporary interpretation and representation of the fifties in American popular culture. Both in film and television, the last fifteen years have witnessed a renewed interest in the fifties as a setting, as is visible in texts like Mad Men (2007-15), Far from Heaven (2002), Revolutionary Road (2008), and A Single Man (2009), among others. Often accused of unabated nostalgic longing for the fifties, these texts do not simply replicate the past as it was, trying to recapture the reality of a long-lost decade. Rather, they approach the subject by drawing from the fictional representations of the time.
Reading the fifties as a privileged site to discuss notions of self-reflexivity, artificiality, intertextuality, and performativity, this project analyzes contemporary popular texts by looking at how they recreate the fifties as intentionally fictional in order to foreground the pleasures that this construction evokes. Influenced by a postmodern inclination, the texts considered in this project move away from a traditional, more 'realistic' portrayal of the past and rather embrace ambivalence, ambiguity, and the lack of one 'real,' historical fifties.
However, by often availing themselves of genre markers typical of the melodramatic mode, the texts in question cannot escape the traditionalist and conservative conventions of a genre so strongly intertwined with the fifties. While recognizing the texts' attempts at (post-)modernizing the fifties by looking at less represented narratives and characters, this project aims to uncover the intrinsically conservative nature of a fifties setting, which cannot help but hinder any impulse to rethink, rework, or re-historicize the fifties.

Orphan TrainBook - 2013
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
When 17-year-old Molly Ayer is sentenced to 50 hours of community service for stealing a library book, she helps Vivian Daly, a 91-year-old widow, clean out the boxes in her attic. As Molly, a foster child, becomes more involved with the job, she learns that Vivian (nee Niamh and then briefly Dorothy) also has a background as an unwanted child. As she delves more into Vivian's boxes, Vivian's painful early years as an orphan train rider and bad placements are revealed. When a crisis occurs in Molly's current foster home, Vivian provides the key that also unlocks Molly's heart. This exceptional novel runs two periods of history on parallel tracks until they merge at a point where both Molly and Vivian can join together as one. This is the July 2018 selection of the Willa Cather Book Club.
A real eye opener for anyone not familiar with this period in American history. My heart was full for all these poor boys and girls. A well written novel and a recommended read.
Heartwarming and heartbreaking story following two characters from different eras. Loved how the women's lives and souls intertwined. Very well crafted novel about a period in history most of us knew nothing about.
Just delightful. One of those books that as you read you keep noticing how close you are getting to the end and regret there are not more pages. A wonderful format that switches back and forth between two periods in American history with characters that seem real and that you grow to love and understand, flaws and all. If you liked "A Gentleman in Moscow" you should like this book.
Molly is close to "aging out" of foster care. She gets a job assisting an elderly woman with cleaning out her house, which brings up memories and mysteries.
A heartbreaking narrative with two threads -- one in the present and one in the distant past. Vivian Daly was an Irish orphan named Niamh who was sent west on an orphan train in 1929. Molly is in the Maine foster system and has been bounced from one home to another growing more cynical with each move. She is caught stealing a library book and her community service assignment is helping Vivian clean out her attic. While they go through Vivian's boxes, her story is told and they realize they have mouch in common.
There was much I loved about this book. The dual narratives fit well together and it was clear that the two characters brought out the best in each other. Of the two stories being told, I definitely preferred Vivian's. What I was disappointed in was Molly's story. It seemed like her foster mother was a hopeless caricature -- too many traits thrown together that did not all seem to fit. There were also some details thrown in like an intimate encounter with Jack that did not seem to move the story forward. I would have also like to see some closure on Molly's story that mirrored what we saw in Vivians's.
Definitely a good book group selection!
Top notch. Christina Baker Kline is a master storyteller. Each storyline blended and complimented the other. Remarkable, endearing characters. An excellent conclusion. Some unpleasant characters that contributed to the plot development, even though they were despicable. Highly recommend as not only an entertaining read, but an enlightening
introduction to part of history that I was unaware of before this book.
This was a good read. The main part of the story begins in 1929 in America. A girl moves with her family from Ireland to New York City & then through a fire ends up losing her family & becomes an orphan. From there she ends up on an orphan train that runs out to the farmlands in the Midwest of America. This is part of Americas true history. Some times the stories ended well for the children & sometimes it was tragic.
Two stories intertwine in this novel that examines the lives of those who are orphaned or separated from their parents and put into "the system". For Molly that system is foster care, where she barely tolerates the people that she lives with. A minor theft (of a library book) lands Molly into legal trouble and she finds herself having to do a community service project. Enter Vivian, a senior citizen with an attic that needs to be cleaned out and a past full of things that she never talks about. Vivian's past includes her experiences as an orphan train rider - where after being orphaned in New York City she was sent on a train out west to be placed with a "wholesome" family. As Molly helps Vivian go through her things both women gradually open up to each other which allows the reader to experience several flashbacks where Vivian tells her story. These parts of the book were my favorites. Vivian encountered some shocking living conditions and people while growing up and I kept reading to see how one earth she was ever going to survive and thrive the many obstacles placed in her path. I definitely found her story more compelling than Molly's, but it was intriguing to have the contrast between how Vivian's situation was handled in the past and how Molly's was being handled in the modern day. That contrast became a focal point for discussion in my book group, so it does add a lot to the book. I definitely recommend this book to fans of historical fiction, particularly if they enjoy stories of young people navigating difficult waters to become successful adults.
Another bit of history revealed in a very readable tale. If you've been to the lower east side of Manhattan and visited the Tenement Museum (something everyone should do) the bookwill take on even more meaning regarding the struggles of immigrants coming to our country still today.

What happens when you trigger "That's right" several times in a salary negotiation? How about getting a salary offer 41% higher than you expected?
"I'm telling you now man, if y'all do anything foolish, these people are gonna get hurt," Mike said after taking 12 people hostage during a botched robbery. Our being there meant that we wanted him to surrender peacefully. In other words, we wanted Mike to say, "Yes." His utterance was an emphatic "No."
Think of this as "You had me at 'no'" meets "think like Elon Musk." "Do you want the FBI to be embarrassed?" –effective pause – "What do you want me to do?" The above example is from our book "Never Split The Difference" where an FBI hostage negotiator – Marti Evelsizer – was negotiating with her (jealous) boss. He wanted to remove her from her position as head of the Pittsburgh FBI...
It is always nice to have breathing room in a negotiation. Not monetary breathing room, breathing room in the conversation. What we refer to as breathing room is this moment or space in time, during the interaction, where you can collect your thoughts and refocus your attention.

Agent Quotes (32 quotes)
All material Things seem to have been composed of the hard and solid Particles variously associated with the first Creation by the Counsel of an intelligent Agent. For it became him who created them to set them in order: and if he did so, it is unphilosophical to seek for any other Origin of the World, or to pretend that it might arise out of a Chaos by the mere Laws of Nature.
All power, all subordination rests on the executioner: he is the horror and the bond of human association. Remove this incomprehensible agent from the world, and the very moment order gives way to chaos, thrones topple, and society disappears
All the events which occur upon the earth result from Law: even those actions which are entirely dependent on the caprices of the memory, or the impulse of the passions, are shown by statistics to be, when taken in the gross, entirely independent of the human will. As a single atom, man is an enigma; as a whole, he is a mathematical problem. As an individual, he is a free agent; as a species, the offspring of necessity.
Apart from the hostile influence of man, the organic and the inorganic world are bound together by such mutual relations and adaptations s secure, if not the absolute permanence and equilibrium of both at least a very slow and gradual succession of changes in those conditions. But man is everywhere a disturbing agent. Wherever he plants his foot, the harmonies of nature are turned to discords.
Electricity is but yet a new agent for the arts and manufactures, and, doubtless, generations unborn will regard with interest this century, in which it has been first applied to the wants of mankind.
Every physical fact, every expression of nature, every feature of the earth, the work of any and all of those agents which make the face of the world what it is, and as we see it, is interesting and instructive. Until we get hold of a group of physical facts, we do not know what practical bearings they may have, though right-minded men know that they contain many precious jewels, which science, or the expert hand of philosophy will not fail top bring out, polished, and bright, and beautifully adapted to man's purposes.
Habit is thus the enormous fly-wheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor. It alone prevents the hardest and most repulsive walks of life from being deserted by those brought up to tread therein.
Is it possible that a promiscuous Jumble of Printing Letters should often fall into a Method and Order, which should stamp on Paper a coherent Discourse; or that a blind fortuitous Concourse of Atoms, not guided by an Understanding Agent, should frequently constitute the Bodies of any Species of Animals.
Knowledge always desires increase; it is like fire which must first be kindled by some external agent, but which will afterward propagate itself.
Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of man. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter.
Metals are the great agents by which we can examine the recesses of nature; and their uses are so multiplied, that they have become of the greatest importance in every occupation of life. They are the instruments of all our improvements, of civilization itself, and are even subservient to the progress of the human mind towards perfection. They differ so much from each other, that nature seems to have had in view all the necessities of man, in order that she might suit every possible purpose his ingenuity can invent or his wants require.
Natural powers, principally those of steam and falling water, are subsidized and taken into human employment Spinning-machines, power-looms, and all the mechanical devices, acting, among other operatives, in the factories and work-shops, are but so many laborers. They are usually denominated labor-saving machines, but it would be more just to call them labor-doing machines. They are made to be active agents; to have motion, and to produce effect; and though without intelligence, they are guided by laws of science, which are exact and perfect, and they produce results, therefore, in general, more accurate than the human hand is capable of producing.
No comfort should be drawn from the spurious belief that because extinction is a natural process, man is merely another Darwinian agent.
No! What we need are not prohibitory marriage laws, but a reformed society, an educated public opinion which will teach individual duty in these matters. And it is to the women of the future that I look for the needed reformation. Educate and train women so that they are rendered independent of marriage as a means of gaining a home and a living, and you will bring about natural selection in marriage, which will operate most beneficially upon humanity. When all women are placed in a position that they are independent of marriage, I am inclined to think that large numbers will elect to remain unmarriedin some cases, for life, in others, until they encounter the man of their ideal. I want to see women the selective agents in marriage; as things are, they have practically little choice. The only basis for marriage should be a disinterested love. I believe that the unfit will be gradually eliminated from the race, and human progress secured, by giving to the pure instincts of women the selective power in marriage. You can never have that so long as women are driven to marry for a livelihood.
Now, it may be stretching an analogy to compare epidemics of choleracaused by a known agentwith that epidemic of violent crime which is destroying our cities. It is unlikely that our social problems can be traced to a single, clearly defined cause in the sense that a bacterial disease is caused by a microbe. But, I daresay, social science is about as advanced in the late twentieth century as bacteriological science was in the mid nineteenth century. Our forerunners knew something about cholera; they sensed that its spread was associated with misdirected sewage, filth, and the influx of alien poor into crowded, urban tenements. And we know something about street crime; nowhere has it been reported that a member of the New York Stock Exchange has robbed ... at the point of a gun. Indeed, I am naively confident that an enlightened social scientist of the next century will be able to point out that we had available to us at least some of the clues to the cause of urban crime.
Politicians, real-estate agents, used-car salesmen, and advertising copy-writers are expected to stretch facts in self-serving directions, but scientists who falsify their results are regarded by their peers as committing an inexcusable crime. Yet the sad fact is that the history of science swarms with cases of outright fakery and instances of scientists who unconsciously distorted their work by seeing it through lenses of passionately held beliefs.
Science never saw a ghost, nor does it look for any, but it sees everywhere the traces, and it is itself the agent, of a Universal Intelligence.
So then Gravity may put ye Planets into Motion, but without ye divine Power it could never put them into such a Circulating Motion as they have about ye Sun; & therefore, for this, as well as other Reasons, I am compelled to ascribe ye Frame of this Systeme to an intelligent agent.
The discovery of an interaction among the four hemes made it obvious that they must be touching, but in science what is obvious is not necessarily true. When the structure of hemoglobin was finally solved, the hemes were found to lie in isolated pockets on the surface of the subunits. Without contact between them how could one of them sense whether the others had combined with oxygen? And how could as heterogeneous a collection of chemical agents as protons, chloride ions, carbon dioxide, and diphosphoglycerate influence the oxygen equilibrium curve in a similar way? It did not seem plausible that any of them could bind directly to the hemes or that all of them could bind at any other common site, although there again it turned out we were wrong. To add to the mystery, none of these agents affected the oxygen equilibrium of myoglobin or of isolated subunits of hemoglobin. We now know that all the cooperative effects disappear if the hemoglobin molecule is merely split in half, but this vital clue was missed. Like Agatha Christie, Nature kept it to the last to make the story more exciting. There are two ways out of an impasse in science: to experiment or to think. By temperament, perhaps, I experimented, whereas Jacques Monod thought.
The facts of nature are what they are, but we can only view them through the spectacles of our mind. Our mind works largely by metaphor and comparison, not always (or often) by relentless logic. When we are caught in conceptual traps, the best exit is often a change in metaphornot because the new guideline will be truer to nature (for neither the old nor the new metaphor lies out there in the woods), but because we need a shift to more fruitful perspectives, and metaphor is often the best agent of conceptual transition.
The history of a species, or any natural phenomenon that requires unbroken continuity in a world of trouble, works like a batting streak. All are games of a gambler playing with a limited stake against a house with infinite resources. The gambler must eventually go bust. His aim can only be to stick around as long as possible, to have some fun while hes at it, and, if he happens to be a moral agent as well, to worry about staying the course with honor.
The injurious agent in cigarettes comes principally from the burning paper wrapper. The substance thereby formed is called "acrolein." It has a violent action on the nerve centers, producing degeneration of the cells of the brain, which is quite rapid among boys. Unlike most narcotics, this degeneration is permanent and uncontrollable. I employ no person who smokes cigarettes.

The instinct of brutes and insects can be the effect of nothing else than the wisdom and skill of a powerful ever-living agent.
The nervous system is the most complex and delicate instrument on our planet, by means of which relations, connections are established between the numerous parts of the organism, as well as between the organism, as a highly complex system, and the innumerable, external influences. If the closing and opening of electric current is now regarded as an ordinary technical device, why should there be any objection to the idea that the same principle acts in this wonderful instrument? On this basis the constant connection between the external agent and the response of the organism, which it evokes, can be rightly called an unconditioned reflex, and the temporary connection—a conditioned reflex.
The only distinct meaning of the word natural is stated, fixed, or settled; since what is natural as much requires and presupposes an intelligent agent to render it so, i.e. to effect it continually or at stated times, as what is supernatural or miraculous does to effect it for once.
The study of the serum of immunized animals forms a new chapter in the history of the struggle between the animal and infective agents, under which heading practical results of the highest importance are already inscribed. Any explanation of the phenomena is, however, still far from complete.
There is no drink like pure water, provided one realizes that it is alcohol that is the purifying agent.
There is, it appears, a conspiracy of scientists afoot. Their purpose is to break down religion, propagate immorality, and so reduce mankind to the level of brutes. They are the sworn and sinister agents of Beelzebub, who yearns to conquer the world, and has his eye especially upon Tennessee.

To demonstrate experimentally that a microscopic organism actually is the cause of a disease and the agent of contagion, I know no other way, in the present state of Science, than to subject the microbe (the new and happy term introduced by M. Sédillot) to the method of cultivation out of the body.
Very few people, including authors willing to commit to paper, ever really read primary sourcescertainly not in necessary depth and contemplation, and often not at all ... When writers close themselves off to the documents of scholarship, and then rely only on seeing or asking, they become conduits and sieves rather than thinkers. When, on the other hand, you study the great works of predecessors engaged in the same struggle, you enter a dialogue with human history and the rich variety of our own intellectual traditions. You insert yourself, and your own organizing powers, into this historyand you become an active agent, not merely a reporter.
When I received the Nobel Prize, the only big lump sum of money I have ever seen, I had to do something with it. The easiest way to drop this hot potato was to invest it, to buy shares. I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.
[Alfred Russell] Wallace's sales agent, back in London, heard mutterings from some naturalists that young Mr. Wallace ought to quit theorizing and stick to gathering facts. Besides expressing their condescension toward him in particular, that criticism also reflected a common attitude that fact-gathering, not theory, was the proper business of all naturalists.

ATLANTA (PRWEB) November 23, 2016
Renowned Atlanta-based group AJ Ghent Band will take the stage at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta on Friday, December 2, at 7:00 p.m. for an unforgettable night of neo-blues, paired with a highly aniticipated tribute to Prince. Fans will be able to experience originals like the newly released AJ Ghent Band single, Love Me No Mo', and cover hits from Prince and more. Love Me No Mo' can be heard at this location: http://sptfy.com/1Mkq
About AJ Ghent Band
AJ Ghent Band is a four-piece family band that constructs an indie-rock sound howling from the church to the blues. With a style that can be defined as fresh, yet reminiscent of music of times past, electrifying, and rootsy- what they like to call NEO BLUES.
The band is led by AJ Ghent [ j-ent ], who comes from a long lineage of pioneering steel guitar players. His great uncle, Willie Eason originated the sound known as 'Sacred Steel' as early as the 1930s. The legacy continued through AJ's grandfather, Henry Nelson, and his father, Aubrey Ghent Sr., all which are noted in the The National Museum of African American History and Culture.
AJ Ghent Band promotes originality by incorporating the 'Sacred Steel' sound of music along with a modern presence. The mission of AJ Ghent Band is to take every listening ear on a musical safari full of soul, rock and blues elements, lightly frosted in hip-hop and EDM.
Stylistically, and musically, AJ Ghent Band works to stick to the root of it all—from the depths of the dirt when songs of hardship were sung to help you overcome.
Eddie's Attic is located at 515 N McDonough St, Decatur, GA. Event tickets can be purchased at http://www.ajghentband.com/shows
For more information and tour dates, visit http://www.ajghentband.com.

Afghanistan's president was forced to briefly delay his trip to India after hundreds of Taliban attacked police and army check posts in the northern Kunduz province Monday.
During the delay, Ashraf Ghani met with NATO's top commander General John Campbell.
The fighting began Friday to mark the opening of the Taliban's spring offensive. The militant group claims to have gained ground in the provincial capital and its spokesman Zabiullah Mujhahid tweeted Monday it has entered a bazaar in Kunduz.
Meanwhile, Afghan Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqi told VOA the military had dispatched reinforcements to the area and "enough forces" are dealing with the situation.
He also claimed that at least 40 Taliban insurgents have been killed in the "clearing operations" underway since Sunday, while the Afghan military has lost five of its soldiers.
"There is nothing to be concerned about because Afghan forces are capable of defeating the enemy," Sediqi said.
In another development, Afghan media reports President Ghani's special envoy for provinces and reforms, Ahmed Zia Masood, survived a mortar attack while he was visiting northeastern Badakhshan province, where Taliban insurgents killed nearly two dozen Afghan security forces in clashes earlier this month.
Kunduz, the last militant stronghold before the Taliban was driven from power by U.S.-led coalition forces in 2001, borders Tajikistan and Badakhshan borders China.
On Sunday, Afghanistan's provincial governor said the militants killed in the clean-up operation involved several foreigners, including Tajiks and Chechens.

Oral Presentation
Transitional Disks, Planet Formation, and ALMA Observation
Presenter: Kyoung Hee Kim (Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute)
Transitional disks are protoplanetary disks around young stars which are optically thick and gas-rich, but which have AU-scale radial gaps or central clearings in their dust distribution. We will introduce the newest largest sample of transitional disks, which are found by homogenous selection criteria, at 1-3 Myr old star-forming regions: NGC1333, Orion A, Taurus, Chamaeleon, and Ophiuchus. We will demonstrate statistical trends between stellar and disk properties of transitional disks which support the giant planet formation as the origin of gaps and holes in transitional disks. Therefore, transitional disks are important sources to understand a process of planet formation at very early stage and evolution from dusty disks to planetary systems. We will discuss how we can use ALMA to observe transitional disks and what we can expect from the future observation.

For under £120, AMD has a fast 45nm triple core CPU that's unlocked and prime for overclocking. We walk you through our experiences and settings with a bevy of popular motherboards to show you that this budget monster is well worth considering.
Windows XP Mode in Windows 7 requires hardware virtualisation, which isn't supported by some Core 2 Duo and Quad CPUs.
A CPU-Z screenshot showing AMD's Athlon II CPU emerges, suggesting that the new "Rana" core will have no Level 3 cache.
The fastest AMD to hit the streets is here. It's 3.2GHz of Black Edition overclocking friendly badness and we test its wares to see if this AM3 part is worth considering over the already tempting AM2+ Phenom II X4 940 on DDR2.

- Party Dresses Online UK
- Summer Dresses Online
Pretty summer dresses online is a search term that is going to be gaining in popularity over the next few weeks as the weather hopefully turns for the better. If you are planning to attend or host a barbecue this summer, what are the most popular dress styles for you?
Barbecues are some of the most anticipated events of the year. What could be better than sitting outside eating freshly cooked food in the company of friends and family? The only problem when it comes to barbecues is knowing what to wear. When you want to buy dresses online, what should you be looking for? Neon colours are a particularly bright and bold fashion statement that always work well at barbecues. The sunshine really lights them up in a way that wearing these sorts of dresses indoors just doesn't do. They look beautiful and also show off your fun side – and a barbecue is all about having fun, after all. Orange and pink with a hint of blue are particularly popular colours. If you want to order your summer dresses online, you should also look out for a stunning short dress to complement the good weather. You will feel cooler and more comfortable wearing a dress that touches just below your knees. A shorter dress also means you can join in with all the outdoor games such as Frisbee and football, without your hemline tripping you up. If you like patterns, then the floral look is another great barbecue favourite.
For all kinds of pretty summer dresses online, visit Wow That Dress Limited at http://www.wowthatdress.co.uk/. We always have just what you want in stock, and our excellent delivery service guarantees you won't have to wait long for your order.

Pitt's McCoy Leaves After 2 Seasons
Jan. 14, 2009
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Pittsburgh running back LeSean McCoy is passing up his final two seasons of eligibility to enter the NFL draft.
McCoy broke several of Tony Dorsett's records at Pitt, and is leaving after two seasons with the Panthers. McCoy led Pitt to a 9-4 record and Sun Bowl appearance this season.
He told coach Dave Wannstedt of his decision in a phone call Wednesday.
Losing McCoy is a major setback to Pitt, which played in its first bowl game and had its first winning record in four seasons largely because of McCoy's running and a strong defense.
NFL scouts project McCoy as a late first round to early second round pick.

Re: Joseph W. Abercrombie - Alabama
Hi Jerry,
Perhaps I can help. The Dock you mentioned is really Benjamin Maynard Abercrombie B)26 August 1876 in Georgia.He did marry Annie Miller. I do not have any info on their children. Benjamin's parents were Samuel & Lenard Griggs.
The family did come from South Carolina to Georgia to Alabama. There are still quite a few members of this family living around Douglas and Carroll County, Georgia.
I hope this helps.

Christmas is coming really fast!!! For the TV people Christmas left (end of September early October) wherever Christmas comes from, under an enormous cacophonous violence perpetrated by the classic Top 50 songs of Christmas. Blame George Michael's Wham and Mariah Carey.
If you are either overwhelmed by the million options you've been presented too or have no idea what to offer your professor, colleague or friend... here are some ideas I "mugged" from the web (click on the image for a bigger picture).

Posted in Press Releases on 12 October 2011
Following a Summer packed full of festival appearances, Patrick Wolf will release a brand new EP on November 28th. Entitled "Brumalia" (the Roman Winter celebration) The EP will feature 6 new tracks and will be lead by new album favourite, "Together".
The new songs on this EP were written over the last year, produced and programmed by Patrick this autumn in London, returning to The Pool studios on Bermondsey Street and his home studio. It also feautures a song made on the ipad while travelling through the swamps of Florida on a writing trip.
The artwork for the EP was shot by Patti Smith. These are two photos Patti took of me on Cooden Beach on a freezing windy Winter day earlier this year the day after I played harp and viola for her at the De La Warr Pavilion. To me the photos sum up the bleakness and melancholy of England in the Winter months, which was something that inspired the choice of songs on this EP"
Wolf released his fifth album, "Lupercalia" earlier this year to mass critical acclaim. He has since had two singles A listed on Radio 2, performed alongside Patti Smith and has been voted number 9 in the NME bands of the Summer readers poll.

Curtis Creek is a an area in the Grandfather Ranger District of Pisgah National Forest in McDowell County near the town of Old Fort. The Curtis Creek area was the first tract of land purchased for an eastern National Forest under the Weeks Act in 1911. The area contains a campground, picnic areas and several miles of hiking trails.
The Curtis Creek area is located northeast of Old Fort. Coming from the west, take I-40 to exit 72 and follow US-70 east through Old Fort. In about 2.5 miles, turn left on Curtis Creek Road. Coming from the east, take exit 75 from I-40 and turn left on Greenlee Road. In a little over a mile from the interstate, cross US-70 and the road becomes Curtis Creek Road. In about 2.5 miles, the road becomes gravel and in another mile becomes Forest Service Road 482; it's about 5 miles from US-70 to the campground.
The following map is incomplete as I haven't hiked all the trails here yet.
There are several miles of hiking trails in the Curtis Creek area, but the trails are challenging and can be difficult to follow. Hickory Branch and Snooks Nose Trails start from near the campground. These are the only ones I've hiked and I have not hiked either in their entirety.
Hickory Branch Trail (#213):
Length: 2 miles
Blaze: Orange
Difficulty: Moderate
Hickory Branch Trail follows its namesake creek upstream for about 2 miles from the campground. The trailhead is on the left at the information kiosk. Walk across the road and past the campsites to pick up the trail. It heads steeply up a ridge and then down the other side to pick up Hickory Branch. Cross the creek and follow it upstream. In about a quarter-mile, cross the creek again and follow it upstream on the other side. Just after hiking around a small drainage, a side path leads to the base of Hickory Branch Falls. Staying on the trail, you'll be able to see the waterfall from above. Just above the waterfall is couple of scenic cascades. I haven't hiked any further on this trail.
Snooks Nose Trail:
Length: 4 miles
Blaze: Yellow
Difficulty: Moderate
Snooks Nose Trail leads from the campground up to its namesake peak and continues on to terminate at the Blue Ridge Parkway. Although the Forest Service lists this trail as moderate in difficulty, I would consider it strenuous as it is one of the steepest trails I've hiked. The trail starts along Curtis Creek Road across from the campground restrooms. Following an old logging grade, the trail heads towards Slick Falls Branch and then steeply heads up via switchbacks. The trail then heads away from the creek, passing a campsite, and then gets very steep as it heads up to Snooks Nose. In just over 1.5 miles, the trail passes a rocky outcrop near the summit of Snooks Nose with nice views to the east and levels off a bit. Past Snooks Nose, the trail heads up towards Laurel Knob, but it not nearly as steep as the first part of the trail. There's no views from Laurel Knob and I didn't hike any further on this trail.
Hickory Branch Falls:
Hickory Branch Falls is a scenic 30-foot waterfall on its namesake creek. The hike to the waterfall is about a mile or so round trip and moderate in difficulty. Cross the road from the parking area and walk in between two campsites to the trailhead. The trail heads up and then down a ridge and then crosses Hickory Branch. Once across, turn left and follow the creek upstream. There's another creek crossing and then the trail swings around a small tributary. As the trail approaches Hickory Branch again, look for a side path that heads down to the creek and upstream to the base of the waterfall. A tree had fallen right on it when I visited so I had to get to the other side of the creek for a picture.

A new year is here, yet a lot of people still struggle whenever it comes to earning and saving money. Many individuals have a 9-5 job, but is it enough to sustain our basic needs and wants? Here, we show you how to keep your resolutions until the end of the year by earning extra money.
How to earn extran money in 2017
1. It's finally time to clean your closet. Literally – you have to clean it out, and sell the things that you just do not use anymore. You probably have a lot of clothes that you do not even touch anymore, or the ones that won't fit. Toss those in a box, and label them for selling. Hold a garage sale, or sell them online. Find the right Facebook selling groups, and you'll be earning extra income in no time!
2. Do the same for your books. You most probably won't re-read your copy of the Lord of the Flies, or those Harry Potter books, so better sell them so other people can benefit from them (and also, extra cash for you).
3. Earn money through your hobby. If you're into photography, then you can try selling your photos to stock sites, print those photos and sell them at art fairs, or even offer photography services. If you love baking, then try making a batch then have cafes and friends taste samples – who knows, they might love it and become regular customers! If it's writing that you love, then you can look for online freelance jobs and start making money from there. Who knows, someday you might turn these hobbies into full-time jobs!
4. Save money through passive income. You might think that this one's impossible, but it's actually doable. Making creative YouTube or blog content can create passive income, as well as writing an ebook. It takes a lot of marketing skills and time for you to actually create income for it, but you'll get there. All you need is patience, creativity, and devotion, and you're surely on your way.
5. Pet/Babysit. Offer pet or babysitting services to your friends during their date nights or whenever they are going on a vacation. This will not only bring extra income, you also get to spend time with babies, puppies, and kittens. How cute is that?
6. Consider getting second hand stuff. Save yourself some bucks by buying second hand stuff instead of new ones. For example, if you are planning to buy a new car this year, then you might want to consider getting a car lease instead. This car lease in Brisbane offers quality second hand cars, so definitely check those out! You will save a lot while still being able to own the car of your dreams.
7. Offer to do someone else's chores. Some people hire other people to do their personal chores for them. It might be mowing their lawns, assembling a bookshelf, or picking up their clothes from the Laundromat. If you're up for it, you can volunteer doing their chores for them in exchange of cash. This is a good way of keeping yourself busy during your free time!
Be extra wise with your finances this year, and you are sure to save hard-earned money by the end of the year. Have a great year ahead and good luck!

- Jim, Carlsbad Property Owner
Connie has been very helpful and easy to work with!
- Jodie & Paul, Carlsbad Tenants
Living in another state when I hired your company, I was concerned how much I could trust that you would truly take care of my property without my ability to check up on how problems were resolved. I needn't have worried. You are a conscientious and very fair organization that was responsive to any and all issues that arose.
I was especially grateful for Diane Goebel who always was prompt in her contacting and getting back to me and truly cared that every issue be resolved in a timely professional manner. I felt blessed to have discovered your management company. Your rates are so reasonable and your service far exceeded my expectations. Mostly, I knew I could trust you... a rather rare commodity in today's market.
- Peggi, San Marcos Property Owner
I have been a tenant with you for about 3 years. During that time all my need and concerns were addressed in a professional and timely matter. Thanks for all your hard work.
- Robert, Encinitas Tenant
PropertyADVANTAGE personnel have provided us excellent five star property management services. We are fortunate to have such property professionals looking over our rental property in our absence and would recommend them to others looking for a stellar organization and service provider. Thanks again for your superb services.
- Jesus & Jutta, Oceanside Property Owners
Anytime we have asked for help or advise, the company has been there for us. PropertyADVANTAGE was also particularly helpful when we had to refurbish the unit when a long-term tenant vacated.
- Noel, Del Mar Property Owner
I've rented from other property management companies.. and let's just say, I would use PropertyADVANTAGE to manage my property if I had one to rent out. :) They got the extra mile, you can pay online, they respond to emails and are easy to reach by phone, they get things fixed for you quickly and I really appreciated the yearly inspection that included the instillation of a carbon monoxide detector and a fire extinguisher in our unit.
- Lauren, San Diego Tenant
My life is going smoothly because of the work that PropertyADVANTAGE does for us! They've listened to my thoughts & requests via e-mails to my main property manager, Sylvia Campos, and their accountant gives a stellar monthly report that I can see every dime spent toward the management of our properties. I recently hired a financial planner, to help me with refinancing and her main comment was what an awesome report we get from Marianne at PropertyADVANTAGE!! Very reassuring!
- Jennifer, Oceanside Multi-Property Owner
What a great property management company. Thank you for all your hard work.
- Peter & Heather, Carlsbad Tenants
I have to say that I have had a great experience with property advantage after coming from mirabella apts which was a horrible place to rent from. Over the past 1.5 yrs they have responded to all my maintenance requests from fixing the washer and dryer to having the roof fixed. The open line of communication has been nothing but clear and done so in a timely manner. When I first move in I wanted to make some improvements and paint some walls. They contacted the owner and within a few days I was given the green light to do so. I do a lot of traveling and sometimes I am not able to pay rent early but now they have an online program that allows payments to be taken through my checking account. On a few occasions they have let me pay a day late do to my circumstance. I hope to continue renting in my current home but if for some reason I am unable to I will definitely be looking at their other properties they have.
- Leon, Vista Tenant
Early morning in Florida, enjoying the beautiful sky with lots of white clouds, this is a perfect setting to reflect on our times together, you as the property manager for my California property and me as the retired "old -school accountant." I think it has been 20 years, almost.
You have had a positive effect on my goals for the property. Somehow you knew how to do all of this, time management, money management, and the courage to do the right thing timely. The responsibility you have had for the past 20 years and how you have handled each situation is really reflected in the amount of freedom I have had to travel and stay in touch with you. Thank you.
When I was first looking for a property manager, your character came up often during my search. Always first with each inquiry. That was amazing to me. And, since then, I have been so very pleased with the timely financial reports and promptness with which I received my checks. Your kindness, loyalty to honesty, and the quality of work you do is very comforting. For all of this, and your self-discipline, I want to thank you so very much.
The staff you provided for us to access has been just wonderful. They certainly reflect a very bright and self-disciplined company, and are "always helpful" towards success and meeting goals. I could go on and on about the repairs, maintenance, and wonderful property upkeep, and the screening of tenants, and the constant respect for cost . . .
All of this is to say, hopefully, we will know each other and meet our goals together for another 20 years.
- Jean, Carlsbad Property Owner

The AP recently posted a story on the firstamendmentcenter.com, talking about the recent case turned down by the supreme court in which a smoker in california was suing tobacco for their target marketing to teens. The court declined to hear the case because they said it was within the first ammendment and the company was fine.
Really people? If someone sued every company because they're ads targeting people. We would have moms suing Wal-Mart because they but everything from there. Woman suing Covergirl because they wear makeup all the time and only buy covergirl. We'd have men suing Budweiser because they bought a big giant horse and drink beer all the time.
People should be smart enough to know what ads are. YES, they are an attempt to get you to get their product and yes they target specific audiences, but if you're stupid enough to not ask questions and get their product, thats your own fault and you deserve what you get!

Gazprom sued for $2bn by Lithuania over high gas prices
Lithuania has said it will sue Gazprom for 5bn lita ($1.9bn, £1.2bn), alleging that the Russian giant overcharged it for gas.
"We... tried to convince them to adjust prices prior to any arbitral actions, however, to no avail," Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius said.
It is following German and Polish firms who "achieved consensus" with Gazprom to retroactively cut prices.
Gazprom is also being investigated by the European Commission.
The Commission said it was concerned state-controlled Gazprom "may be abusing its dominant position", which prompted Russian President Vladimir Putin to sign a decree forbidding state-controlled firms from giving information to foreign authorities without permission from Moscow.
State firms will also need permission to change the pricing of any contracts with overseas entities, Russia said.
'Crucial importance'
Lithuania is taking its case to the Stockholm Arbitration Tribunal, where the German and Polish cases were heard.
"The fact that the European Commission started an official inquiry into the Gazprom's suspected unfair price policy in Central and Eastern Europe is of crucial importance," Mr Kubilius said.
It relates to the price of a gas formula set when Gazprom undertook to supply natural gas to Lithuania in 2004.
"As a result of changes in the gas price formula, made violating [the] terms of the agreement, the price of the gas supplied by Gazprom soared in the period between 2004 and 2012," the Lithuania government said.
The Commission's investigation will involve Gazprom's activities in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Slovakia.
Depending on the results of the probe, it may be extended to other countries, the Commission said.
Russia provides 25% of Europe's gas imports, and many countries rely almost entirely on the country for their imported gas. Many of these are locked into long-term supply contracts with Gazprom and have argued in the past that they pay too much for their gas.
Energy policy has been a source of tension between Moscow and the EU for some time.
Gazprom holds a monopoly on exporting gas from Russia.

The Giants are 0-3 after a losing a 27-24 thriller to the Eagles in Philadelphia. Here's what we learned:
1. Eagles rookie kicker Jake Elliott made one of the greatest field goals in NFL history with a 61-yarder as time expired to win a topsy-turvy game. But Elliott would have never been in that position if not for a shanked punt by the Giants' Brad Wing to give the Eagles a shot at a last-second drive. Carson Wentz and Alshon Jeffery also deserve a huge assist for a difficult 19-yard connection, the longest reception for the Eagles all day, to set up the field goal with only one second left on the clock.
2. Eli Manning and the Giants' offense finally heated up against a banged-up Eagles defense, but it was ultimately too late. Trailing 14-0 after 29 drives with only one touchdown all season, the Giants reached the end zone on three straight possessions to open a 24-point fourth quarter. New York focused on short throws and a hurry up offense to save their beleaguered offensive line, but a complete lack of a running game (again) and inability to make the Eagles pay early for their injuries came back to haunt the team. At least the real Odell Beckham was back, with a ridiculous pair of touchdown catches highlighting a nine-catch performance.
3. The Eagles will be grateful to get a win on a day they were missing four key pieces to their secondary entering the game, and then lost star defensive tackle Fletcher Cox (calf), emerging linebacker Jordan Hicks (ankle) and running back Darren Sproles (wrist) to injury. Winning a division game like this despite the injuries is a great example of managing the schedule, putting them at 2-0 in the division while the Giants go to 0-2.
4. Do the Giants have a rush defense problem? The Eagles controlled the clock most of Sunday with 193 yards on the ground, a surprising total considering the presence of Damon Harrison, Jason Pierre-Paul and Olivier Vernon up front for the G-Men. Wendell Smallwood and LeGarrette Blount both ran well, helping the Eagles average more yards-per-play on the ground (4.9) than through the air (4.7).
5. All the ball control appeared to wear down the Giants' defense late. After New York took its first lead of the season at 21-14, the Eagles' offense rallied to score on their next three possessions to win the game. After a shaky first three quarters, Wentz played his best with the game on the line.

Minister Alan Shatter announces Ireland's first formal Visa Waiver Programme
June 30, 2011
Minister Alan Shatter today launched Ireland's first formal Visa Waiver Programme designed to assist in the promotion of Ireland as a quality business and leisure destination in markets which would not have been regarded as traditional source countries for tourism to Ireland. Under the provisions of the Programme, which will run as a pilot from 1st July 2011 to 31st October 2012, nationals of 16 specified countries who presently need a visa to enter Ireland and who obtain a visa to enter the UK for a short term visit will not need to obtain a separate visa to include a visit to Ireland on their itinerary. In addition, special arrangements have been put in place to facilitate visits to this State by nationals of these 16 countries who are long-term residents in the UK. It is hoped that this arrangement will encourage a substantial increase in tourists visits to Ireland and in particular, result in a significant number of people who visit London for the 2012 Olympics also visiting Ireland.Posted in: Department of Justice & Equality

Quote from Up in Arms About Vintage Telephone Tables? :
Itas a very good concept to think back and attempt to assess what you really witnessed. If you are going through something similar after losing a loved one it is an excellent idea to speak to a professional about how you're feeling and what it is you are experiencing. If you want the appearance of wallpaper there is guaranteed to be a pattern that compliments your room plans. At this point you have a customized look inside your budget. Make sure that you get a person who is experienced to get this done. Instead think about exactly how you are able to get the most out of what you do have. In case the answer is no, your home may be haunted.

[CULTURE] Museums Worth Visiting
Museums of history, art and science in Seoul and its outskirts

The National Museum of Korea
The National Museum of Korea, situated in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, is the biggest and most loved museum of Korean and Asian history. The museum mainly features artifacts and treasures from prehistoric times to the Joseon Dynasty and the Korean Empire. The collection also includes relics from China, Japan, and middle, eastern, and southern Asia.
Some of the museum's most famous collections are the massive Ten-Story Pagoda of Gyeongcheonsa Temple site from the Goryeo Dynasty, and the Genre Painting Album of Danwon, a famous painter who drew ordinary people's daily life in the Joseon Dynasty. Other notable artifacts are the golden crown and girdle of Silla during the Three Kingdoms period and Pensive Bodhisattva statue from the same period. Admission is free, although costs for special exhibitions may vary. Currently, the special exhibition "Egyptian Treasures from the Brooklyn Museum" is on display.
There is a tourist program in the museum for foreigners called "Korean Culture", which includes Korea's traditional cultural activities such as Korean painting and calligraphy, and making lacquerware inlaid with mother-of-pearls and Korean seals. Guided tours for foreigners are provided in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Near the National Museum of Korea, The National Hangeul Museum is located, which is about Hangeul's history, design, and the principles behind it.
To pay a visit to the National Museum of Korea, take a subway and get off at Ichon station on the Jungang Line and Line 4. The museum is open every day except the 1st of January, Seollal, and Chuseok.
Seoul Museum of Art
The Seoul Museum of Art, or SeMA, comprises three separate museums- the Main Building in Seosomun-dong, Jung-gu, Nam[South]-Seoul Branch near Sadang metro station in Gwanak-gu, and the Buk[North]-Seoul Branch in Nowon-gu. Art exhibitions of all sorts are held in these two museums, spanning vast genres of art from paintings and photography to fashion, design and film. SeMA mainly displays artworks by Korean artists, both young and old, including the permanent exhibition of a famous Korean painter Cheon Kyeong-ja. In addition, Western and non-Western artworks are also displayed in SeMa, and a Latin American arts exhibition is to be opened this year. Currently, at SeMA Seosomun Museum of Art, a special exhibition called "Renoir: Images of Women" is being held.

SeMA is closed every Monday and on January 1st.
Gwacheon National Science Museum
Gwacheon National Science Museum is in the city Gwacheon, Gyeonggi-do, near Seoul Grand Park. It stands as one of the most representative science museums in Korea. The museum covers a broad range in science. By visiting the museum, one can briefly explore the world of the fundamental sciences, such as biology, chemistry and physics. Advanced scientific technology can also be glimpsed upon.
